Today's Topics: The 4th Democratic Debate took place last night. Did you stay awake for it? Well we did so you didn't have to. Biden flubbed, Yang told Beto to Preach It, Ellen and friendship was brought up, Warren avoided questions, and much more. Later on, VB talks about Trump's decision to pull out of Syria and the on-going discussion with Turkey. Whether or not you agree on the decision, one thing is for certain: they do have a lot of sand over there Mr.President. Last, but not least, Massachusetts legislators are discussing a balloon ban. Balloons, a deadly threat to the environment, right under our noses. Is there an end to his banning madness?

And, to start the show off with a bang, the Stories We Love!

Enjoy this podcasted version of VB in the Middle, LIVE from 12-3pm weekdays on WRKO.

See you tomorrow!
