Eggnog: A delicious seasonal treat. But how much can you drink, really?
Warner Bros.
We don't recommend it. Also, the supply chain can't support it. We'll explain.
We’ve got some really memorable calls from listeners today, y’all. There’s the guy who’s staring down a huge milestone in his life, but can’t stop thinking about eggnog. There’s the listener who asked us to stop and reflect on this crazy year. And, of course, there’s a question about vaccines. We’ll talk about it all on this, our last Whadda Ya Wanna Know Wednesday of the year.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Hospitals Discover a Surprise in Their Vaccine Deliveries: Extra Doses” from The New York Times
- “What if the US just pays everyone $1,000 to take the Covid-19 vaccine?” from Vox
- “Why Paying People to Be Vaccinated Could Backfire” from The New York Times
