On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan discuss the big surprise J6 witness and all the new developments with that. They also continue the discussion on the Dobbs ruling and the continuing fall out from SCOTUS overruling Roe v Wade. Before that though, Ivan gives a health update on his family, complains about satellite TV, and Sam discusses tinnitus and sound therapy. So, all the usual hijinks.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam goes solo after events conspired multiple times to prevent a normal show. Sam of course discusses the aftermath of the Dobbs decision overriding Roe. He also discusses January 6th developments. And gives a quick report on attending the 2022 Washington State Democratic Convention. Oh. And Sam was actually polled. On his wife's race. Which was neat.

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan decided there were no "big" topics they wanted to talk about, so they talked about a bunch of "smaller" things. That doesn't mean they are less important of course. Although maybe some of them are. They talked about game consoles and boring podcasts. They talked about a movie and the latest Covid news. And about the evolving reaction and consequences of working from home. Oh, and they did talk about guns again. So there is that.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan's main topic is of course the Texas School Shooting. They cover the timelines, the police response, the prospects of any new policy change, and how it feels like we just go through the same thing over and over on this. Before that, a little bit on inflation, confirmation bias, Covid, and working through being sick. Oh, and Sam introduces a new kind of break into the rotation. Enjoy!
