This episode is dedicated to Angelina Resendiz.
Your presence made an impact that will never be forgotten. This conversation is for you — and because of you.
The crew is joined by AZCM (Ret.) Courtney Barber. The episode opens with a debate about The Carter III and whether or not it’s overrated. From there, the conversation turns to Tyler Perry’s Straw, Teyana Taylor’s performance, and whether streaming releases are in the same league as theatrical films. Spoiler alert — they also react to the twist ending and discuss how the film handles grief, breakdowns, and trauma. The crew reflects on time spent in New Orleans, the weight of anniversaries, and moments that still linger. They congratulate James Sandifer on being elected mayor of Lumberton. Then the conversation shifts to the Army’s 250th birthday celebration and questions around military spending, followed by VADM Cheeseman’s retirement, a first look at the new CPO eval, and a photo of a Master Chief that sparked questions about standards and image. They also touch on the renaming of military bases, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s recent appearance before Congress, and the challenge of applying today’s mindset to past decisions. Tisha closes by sharing thoughts on working in a job that doesn’t align with your values — and what it means to try to make a difference anyway. These and more topics are covered on this episode.
