On this week's Curmudgeon's corner the main topic, as it so often has been over the last year and a half, is the pandemic. Current trends, how to encourage more vaccination, all that sort of thing. But there are a lot of smaller topics too. Everything from nick names to infrastructure week (again) to how some MAGA folks think they will get Trump back well before Election 2024 to various other things in between. Have fun!

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, two shows in one! Sort of! First off, since Ivan couldn't make it, Sam essentially does a full length solo show. He discusses Covid stuff, Trump stuff, and Congress stuff. All the usual sort of news stuff. But then, since when he found out there was an opening, Sam's son Alex immediately volunteered, there is also a second half of the show, where Sam and Alex discuss, what else, Alex's YouTube channel, video games, and "Why Daddy is stupid." So yeah. Stay tuned after the first few segments for the bonus Alex segments!
