Once again Ivan is out, so this week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam is joined for the first time by Peter B for a rare politics light show. Instead of yet another riff on Trump, we cover video games, alternative schooling philosophies, relating to art with problematic creators, non-alcoholic cocktails, some notes about Japan, and all the problems with kids today! Enjoy!

Returning from his latest travels in triumph, Ivan joins Sam for a robust discussion of Hunter Biden, Trump's incoherency, SCOTUS, and some international politics too. But first, some politics and AI from Puerto Rico, and one of the hosts upgraded their home computer setup. Finally! Can you guess which one?

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan spend more time than usual on TV and Movies, plus for once a bunch of time on music too. But do not fear, they cover their more typical content too, with a segment on economic issues, and then one on US politics. So all your usual curmudgeonly goodness!

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan discuss the Biden underperformance at the big debate, and the massive reaction, including many people calling for Biden to drop out. They also discuss visiting the office, remote webinars, some website upgrade updates, SCOTUS decisions, and more. Not the presidential immunity decision though. That happened after recording, so that will be next week!
