This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan deviate from the usual, and actually spend the majority of the show on personal stories. First up, Ivan explains why he was unable to make it to Seattle for a meetup after all. Second up, Sam explains his adventures with car trouble and car repair. They do hit a bit of the OBBB and some random things at the end as almost an afterthought. :-)

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan and Sam discuss Iran again, negative economic signs, the New York Mayor's race and the implications thereof, and a bit about SCOTUS. Also Ivan wants to know if you would take a gamble and just sleep for the next 3-4 years to skip forward, and of course some movies.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan get into Elon vs Donald and the various implications of that breakdown. But they also discuss the big beautiful bill, how Democrats are responding to everything, travel drama, bad commutes, and some other stuff too. Oh, and they do badly at a news quiz. Fun!
