- The trio begin the podcast by looking at the commissioning of the USS Canberra in Sydney and a recent US report that raises concerns about a maintenance backlog in the nuclear-powered submarine fleet.
- They then unpack revelations that a common spelling error threatens to expose sensitive US military information, with millions of misspelled email addresses destined for members of the US military and DOD sent to Mali.
