Curmudgeon's Corner

2023-02-04: What's The Number?

Listen Later

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan was not available, so Sam has his 13 year old son Alex as a cohost again. Alex doesn't have much to say when the topics are Twitter, the Chinese balloon, his father's trip back to the office, and how a driveway cam actually was useful. But he does have a handful of things to add in the back half of the show, when they talk about some movies and books. Enjoy!
