Listen Later

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan do tech and politics. Big surprise. Well, kinda tech. All about Elon and Twitter and Tesla again. Plus more on migrating off of Twitter to Mastodon. So they can toot. For politics, you've got J6, Trump's taxes, the Omnibus, and even some on Ukraine. But before all that, some chatter on movies and TV. Have fun!
