Curmudgeon’s Corner: False Idols of Perfection

This week Sam and Ivan go into lightning round mode, with eight smaller topics rather than just two or three big ones.

You’ll need to tune in and find out! Uh, or look at the full breakdown in the show details. Anyway, enjoy the show!

Curmudgeon’s Corner: Some of this Stuff

On this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner, the return of “But First”! That is, before they talk about their main topics, Sam and Ivan just ramble for a bit about a few random things. I guess you could say the whole show is like that, but this is “But First!” so this is different! But then they settle down for the more substantive things. This week that is the pandemic, the pipeline thing, the Israel/Palestine situation, and the economy. Enjoy the show!

Curmudgeon’s Corner: Figure the Angle

On this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan’s first topic is about racist morons like Schlossberg, Cunningham, and others. Second up is all the latest on Trumpgate, including ZTE and China, Qatar and Kushner, Trump Tower Moscow, Ice Cube, and of course more Cohen. Finally, some thoughts on the latest developments in Israel and Gaza. Before all that, they also squeeze in a few thoughts on the Santa Fe shooting, and on Sam finally canceling services he has been wasting money on for years. Fun stuff!
