[Ep 909] Election 2024 Special [3:56:33]
Recorded: Wed, 2024-Nov-06 UTC
Published: Sat, 2024-Nov-09 03:35 UTC
So Sam and Ivan hosted a special Curmudgeon's Corner reacting to the Election 2024 returns live as they came in. If you tuned in on election night, thank you. If you are listening later, be glad that all the umms, ahhhs, and silences have been removed, reducing the show from over six hours to under four. But you can still relive all the ups and downs of this historic evening. If you really want to.

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, it is less than two weeks before the US presidential election, so what do you think Ivan and Sam are going to be talking about? If you said diverticulitis and season one of Law & Order, then you guessed correctly. Congratulations! Well, ok, yeah, and that other thing too.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan is a last minute scratch, so Sam does a solo show. And well, that means it is almost 100% election stuff this time around. But come on, there are just barely more than two weeks left. What do you expect anyway? Well, he does talk a little bit about taking time off from work... to do election stuff. Uh. So fine. All election. All the time.
