VB in the Middle

Police Officers in NY City had water doused on them in two separate incidents involving civilians randomly "attacking" them with water. The officers did not react and were simply doing their regular jobs when they were harassed. We discuss this blatant act of disrespect by civilians in NYC.

Then Axa Health Insurance is getting criticism for suggesting it's customers ask for help from flight attendants with their heavy carry ons to prevent back pain and issues. We discuss it all!

Axa Health Insurance was giving some of it's customers advice on how to help back pain and in doing so suggested when traveling that passengers should ask flight attendants to lift their heavy bags for them and put them into the overheard compartments. The flight attendants union found back and criticized the health insurance company for making such a remark and we ask if it's out of line to ask a flight attendant for assistance with your luggage?

We talk to Scott Whitley of Wicked Bites about National Ice Cream Day that is this Sunday! What's the best flavors? Where is your favorite place to go? We're talking ice cream!

Bernie Sanders gets criticized for not paying some of his campaign workers the minimum wage when he himself is such an advocate for pushing the minimum wage. Some people of his own staff would like to see him practice what he preaches...we discuss the minimum wage and it's practicality for the work being done.
