On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner podcast, Ivan is back, and he and Sam cover the usual hodgepodge of topics. There is the latest Trump and Fox News stuff. There is Silicon Valley Bank and how we've got several Senators out of commission. Also the time change, and Ivan sees some ice skating. Plus lots and lots of veering completely off topic in between. Because of course that happens.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Ivan is out, so Sam, joined by his son Alex, talks about slow news weeks, and what hides behind them. And since it is indeed a slow news week there is talk of cleaning, dogs, books, and movies. And Sam "anchors" this in the right week, but recorded that little bit on his phone, which sounds awful. You'll all ignore that and pretend it was fine, right?

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner your lovable curmudgeons Sam and Ivan talk about Ukraine on the anniversary of Russia's escalation. Plus MTG's national divorce proposal. Spoiler: It is a bad idea. Also, thoughts on car shopping, a visit to Olympia, and a discussion about social media. But mostly non-Twitter social media this time. So less Elon. So everybody should appreciate that.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan revisit the topics of balloons, chatbots, and Twitter. But there is also talk of Election 2024, the Fox News v. Dominion case, the toxic train derailment, and more. Plus bonus bell ringing, and the excitement of a mug being broken, live on tape! Well, not tape. There is no tape. And it isn't live. The mug did not survive. But you all understand. Right?
