This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan and Sam discuss have a big mix of topics. They discuss networks, microphones, movies, Biden, and recent developments in AI. All the stuff. So not all politics this time, and they left a lot of that kind of thing on the table this time. There is enough of that all the rest of the time. So a change is nice. And you still get some Biden, so there ya go.
