October 08, 20162016-10-07: Topping the First One
On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner... what else? Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. After a short bit on Hurricane Matthew, we dive into Trump's taxes, then the Veep debate. We had originally ended the show there, but after the big Trump news Friday, we came back and recorded a bonus segment on the 2005 tape and the beginnings of the aftermath. The situation is still unfolding, but we had to stop and actually get the show out!
