On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Ed substitutes for Ivan and talks to Sam about the benefits of the No Kings events and other events like them, as well as the Israel/Iran conflict. Plus some movie talk. And if that wasn't enough, some conversation about disposing of dead bodies. So be sure to stay for that part at the end!
