Shownotes Transcript

Today's "Stories We Love" brought to you by Kane's Donuts features the story of WWII veterans from Battle of the Bulge getting a special send off at Logan Airport as they boarded their plane to visit France, Luxembourg, and Belgium in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. A new proposed bill in Massachusetts is asking medical professionals to have a conversation with their patients about whether their is guns in their home and if they are gun owners. How would you feel about going to your doctor for a checkup and getting asked this? Does it have anything to do with your health and is it your doctor's business? Listeners have a lot to say about this one! A reporter down in Savannah, Georgia was covering a race down in the area when she was smacked on the butt by a runner going by. That reporter is now suing the runner, claiming he "took away her power". Columnist Renee Graham of the Boston Globe wrote an article on how misogyny is running wild in the media. We raise the point that sexual harassment on any level is not okay and this does not happen to just women...TIME has released its annual Person of the Year and the 'happy little girl' from Sweden, Greta Thunberg, was the recipient. The four finalists that missed out were: President Trump, Nancy Pelosi, The "Whistleblower" and the Hong Kong Protesters. VB knew from the beginning that it was going to be Greta, however Dave was upset that one of the other finalists was snubbed. Much more prestigious however, is the annual "Unperson of the Year" award given out by VB. He gave out his winner and finalists on his twitter page, @VBtheWise, where you can vote on a poll to choose one yourself.
