Curmudgeon's Corner

2021-10-22: See All About It

Listen Later

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan are joined by Bruce who joins us to discuss his adventures in helping to build and deploy a submarine. Not the military kind, but the deep see research kind, but one you can buy tickets on! If you have the cash. Oh, and after that they discuss the pandemic and congress. But they do that all the time.
