Sir Patrick Coble bestowed a handmade "Best Podcast of the Year" trophy upon the hosts, featuring an old-school Shure 55 microphone and a USMC-stamped "Cob bar" killing device. The award symbolizes the golden age of radio propaganda and American military industrialization. The trophy arrived in a handmade box with the knife component shipped separately for safety.

The Pentagon's creation of the "Distinguished Warfare Medal" for drone pilots and cyber warriors is discussed. The hosts criticize the fact that this medal for remote operations is ranked higher than the Bronze Star, a medal awarded for valor in physical combat.
