2 hr 1 min - 2022-07-09: Thing After ThingThis week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan do discuss politics, of both the UK and US varieties. But before that Ivan rambles about some stuff, Sam talks about a movie he really liked, and they cover the Twitter/Musk deal falling apart, and a bit about political doorbelling. So there you go.2 hr 18 min
- 2022-07-02: Time EffectsOn this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner Sam and Ivan discuss the big surprise J6 witness and all the new developments with that. They also continue the discussion on the Dobbs ruling and the continuing fall out from SCOTUS overruling Roe v Wade. Before that though, Ivan gives a health update on his family, complains about satellite TV, and Sam discusses tinnitus and sound therapy. So, all the usual hijinks.2 hr 25 min
- 2022-06-25: Meeple Are Not PeopleThis week on Curmudgeon’s Corner Sam goes solo after events conspired multiple times to prevent a normal show. Sam of course discusses the aftermath of the Dobbs decision overriding Roe. He also discusses January 6th developments. And gives a quick report on attending the 2022 Washington State Democratic Convention. Oh. And Sam was actually polled. On his wife’s race. Which was neat.1 hr 36 min
- 2022-06-17: The Solar SunOn this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan talk about the January 6th Committee hearings. Of course. Can’t skip that. But they also talk about the economy and Ukraine. And beeps and roller coasters and cleaning and audio quality. So all the fun stuff too.2 hr 12 min
- 2022-06-11: Probably To DefinitelyThis week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan’s big serious topic is of course the opening of this round of January 6th hearings. They talk about how the opening day went, what we are really getting out of this, what was new, what kind of impact it might have, etc. All the stuff you think they would talk about. But before that they do talk about Ivan wanting to make destructive videos for cash, a book Sam read, and cultural appropriation. Join us!2 hr 10 min
- 2022-06-03: Bump In SpikesOn this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan decided there were no “big” topics they wanted to talk about, so they talked about a bunch of “smaller” things. That doesn’t mean they are less important of course. Although maybe some of them are. They talked about game consoles and boring podcasts. They talked about a movie and the latest Covid news. And about the evolving reaction and consequences of working from home. Oh, and they did talk about guns again. So there is that.1 hr 58 min
- 2022-05-27: Blundering ThroughThis week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan’s main topic is of course the Texas School Shooting. They cover the timelines, the police response, the prospects of any new policy change, and how it feels like we just go through the same thing over and over on this. Before that, a little bit on inflation, confirmation bias, Covid, and working through being sick. Oh, and Sam introduces a new kind of break into the rotation. Enjoy!2 hr 8 min
- 2022-05-20: Honey DippedOn this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner, for the first time in a long time, Ivan and Sam deliver a show that is almost all politics. Well, except for when they talk about Bill and Ted movies. And Sam’s ability to procrastinate. And dreams on TikTok. And a few other random things. But mostly politics. They discuss “Great Replacement Theory”, how the Obama Administration was an inflection point, the primary results so far, Democrats not understanding the Hispanic vote, and even a little bit of January 9th stuff. Jam packed!2 hr 17 min
- 2022-05-14: Lack of Understanding
This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan is back with Sam to talk about his many experiences related to a Formula 1 race he attended, and some issues that surfaced about attitudes toward wealth. Speaking of wealth, they pivot to Elon Musk's adventures with Twitter, and all the craziness associated with that. Then they close off with a broader discussion of the economy and markets, including the fun crypto implosion. Yay!
