Curmudgeon's Corner

2022-01-28: Etymology of Toast

Listen Later

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, after a short disclaimer, and a longer interlude of Alex interruptions followed by his expulsion, which you can jump over by going to the nine minute mark by the way, Ivan and Sam get down to business and discuss Ivan's laundry and the 1979 Star Trek movie. Yeah, it was that kind of start. After that though, they talk Boris Johnson parties, Ukraine, culture wars, SCOTUS, and the economy. So they do get to the serious stuff eventually. Before Alex has to be expelled again. It was of course Alex that insisted on including his two expulsions.
