On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan hit the obvious Trump related economic and legal stuff. Plus movies, actors, and funerals. And a quick run through of other smaller things too. Yes, the Trump stuff dominates. How can it not? But they squeeze in some other stuff too. And you should too. There ya go.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam goes mostly solo, but Ivan does send in his thoughts on the latest tariff developments. Because of course he couldn't miss that part. Aside from the economy entering a self-inflicted death spiral, other topics include SCOTUS on Kilmar Garcia, Psych the Movie, and the perils of blindly following GPS instructions.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Ivan is with his family for Spring Break, so Sam fed a recent transcript of the show into ChatGPT and created IvanGPT, who cohosts this week's show instead. They talk about the obligatory Yemen Signal group thing, and the dichotomy between Activists and Politicians, but also the dangers of AI fakes, and lots more. You'd never know the cohost was an AI. Cough.
