VB in the Middle

Today we debut March's edition of "VB's Book of the Month Club" & introduce you the listeners to a new book! We also talk about the epidemic Cape Cod has with dogs getting high off of marijuana. In addition studies say that credit card debt in America has reached an all time high and we ask you if you are in credit card debt and by how much? Then Producer Steve Robinson informs us that some colleges like the University of South Dakota are not allowing "Hawaiian Day" parties or celebrates because it's offensive...we discuss it all!

Howie Carr producer Steve Robinson talks to us about how the University of South Dakota's Student Bar Association is facing criticism for a planned "Hawaiian Day Party". Apparently it violated the school's policy on inclusiveness and is being viewed as offensive to Hawaiians. Is that where we are now where even a Hawaiian day, which is a place and a culture in our own country is offensive to highlight?

For the month of March we highlight a book relevant to a historical event that took place on March 5th in 1770 right here in Boston, "Boston's Massacre" written by Eric Hinderacker! He teaches us a little bit of history in our own backyard! Take a listen!

Credit card debt in America has ballooned since the stock market crash in 2008. We ask you the listening audience, how much debt are you in? Are you part of the high amount of debt we as Americans are in collectively?

We get the latest in political news from Michael Graham as he talks about Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders on reparations, and comes up with slogans for new presidential running candidate John Hickenlooper of Colorado...

Cape Cod apparently has a "pot dog" epidemic so much so that it is a rarity if there is not at least one dog in the Vet ER in a 24 hour period for being high. We ask you, the WRKO listeners, if your dog has ever been high and how did it happened.

We discuss a potpourri of topics today: Man survives on Taco Bell sauce packets, Elizabeth Warren says she used to identify as a Native American & VP Mike Pence is "not a decent guy", the "cheese toss challenge", HBO's new series 'Leaving Neverland', and we talk to the wildlife biologist who encountered a 700 pound gator in Georgia!

We talk to wildlife biologist Brent Howze down in Georgia about a 700 pound alligator he and his team came across! He explains to us how he found the animal and ultimately what they did when they did and how they handled it all.

When asked whether Elizabeth Warren thought Vice President Mike Pence was a decent guy, she responded "no". The fact that he is opposed to gay marriage and has a difference of opinion, means to her that he is basically not a good person. We discuss how we got to this point in our country where you disagree with someone and now they are the enemy...

The new HBO series tries to expose in a never before seen documentary that Michael Jackson supposedly sexually assaulted two boys at his Neverland Ranch. We discuss whether this series will forever change your view of Michael Jackson the artist and ask whether it's right to broadcast this series after he died and can no longer live to defend himself.
