## Resource

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Ivan is back and joins Sam to talk about all sort of things, most of them unfortunately related to Trump in one way or another. Yes of course Iran and Castro and corruption are Trump related. But somehow he is probably responsible for beeps and bulbs and stolen mugs too!   Show Details: Recorded 2026-05-23 Length this week 2:00:19 <!— /meta --> 0:01:23 - But First Traveling and Bullying Beeps and Bulbs Mugs and Books RobinLetter Milestones Movie: How To Train Your Dragon (2025) 0:45:50 - But Second Trump Support Crashing Trump Corruption Trump Foreign Policy 1:13:03 - But Third Airline Industry Iran Can Kicking Ted Turner Castro Indictment Gabbard Resignation Late Night Dying The Curmudgeon’s Corner theme music is generously provided by Ray Lynch .
