It’s the middle of the week, and the Dudes are back with some laughs and some commentary to carry your load through Friday. 

What do you get when you combine one of the most iconic bands of the grunge era with the lead vocalist of the most mocked band in modern history?  If your answer is anything but a train wreck, you would be wrong.  Truth be told, someone has started a Facebook campaign aimed at getting the surviving members of Nirvana to reunite in January with Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger on the mic.  Luckily, it won’t happen, as it was a prank.      

Facebook has banned everyone’s favorite conspiracy theory nutjob Alex Jones from its platform for 30 days.  Texas Senator Ted Cruz calls it a First Amendment issue, but he would be wrong.  This is part of Facebook’s unbalanced attack on what it calls hate speech.  In this case, the Dudes agree with Mark Zuckerberg, despite him being one of our favorite targets to mock.

Speaking of Facebook, Wall Street has pulled Mark Zuckerberg’s panties down and spanked him on the ass to the tune of the company losing $119 billion after missing user registration goals. 

Papa John sues Papa John's.  The Papa claims the company is performing a coup and he’s not gonna take it.  He’s using the classic “Bob Newhart Defense.”  What is the Bob Newhart Defense?  You’ll find out. 

While we’re talking about poor decisions, cities are banning plastic straws, let the mocking begin.  Rob Rotten may end up in jail when he travels to Los Angeles next week, as he plans to being his own straws. 

Finally, famed comedian Gilda Radner is being remembered in a new film, and the Dudes take you through the comedy legend’s story before her death from Ovarian Cancer.

Sorry to end it on a downer, but we promise more fun and shenanigans on Friday.
