Today's Topics: President Donald Trump tweeted out a photo of himself, with his head photoshopped on top of Rocky Balboa's body...with no context.

Charlie Baker came out and stated the vaping ban is extending to menthol cigarettes and all flavored tobacco. Baker also clarified that the ban will be in place until December 11th, where permanent regulations will be enacted. VB opens the phones and allows you, the listeners to share your views and opinions on the ban. At MIT recently, two students set a Guinness record. What is the record you might ask?
