Curmudgeon’s Corner: Falling Debris

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan’s more serious topics are the Georgia voter law, chaos in Miami Beach, the most recent “border crisis”, and the Suez Canal blockage. But before all that, an extended discussion about destroying the moon, and the results of Ivan’s personality tests. So all kinds of fun stuff. Enjoy!

Curmudgeon’s Corner: Not The Kind You Eat

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan do something they don’t do that often anymore. They spend a huge chunk of the show talking about tech! Apple tech to be specific, as they discuss the WWDC announcement that Apple is moving the Mac to their own chips, and Sam discusses a recent Mac purchase. But of course, they don’t neglect the pandemic, and they couldn’t do a show without at least a little politics. Enjoy!
