Curmudgeon’s Corner: Trial and Error

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan once again do an all lightning round show. They talk about allergies, the McCabe report, Hannity’s real estate deals, the “incel” movement, Barbara Bush’s passing, the Korean summit, and much much more! What is “more”, do you ask? Well, the Bill Cosby verdict, a review of a book Sam read, the end of the Ronny Jackson nomination, the SESTA/FOSTA law, more on Cohen, the incident with the black men arrested in the Philadelphia Starbucks, and a bit about a nice video of Comet 67P. Is that enough? No? OK then… Sam’s son Alex also gives his own, uh, unique, description of a shooting at a waffle house, just not the one that actually happened. So, all in all, a jam-packed show!
