Rehabilitating Ivan the Terrible: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts reports that Stalin favored the narrative history of Robert Vipper, who rehabilitated Ivan the Terrible as a state-builder rather than a cruel tyrant; Stalin criticized Eisenstein's film sequel for portraying Ivan as weak, insisting Ivan's terror was a necessary defense of the state, a view justifying Stalin's own purges. 1945

Lane Kiffin hasn't denied that he is leaving Ole Miss for either LSU or Florida. But he hasn't given reassurance to Rebels fans, either. What's up with that?

“Happy 70th to Phil Simms! We break down Sam Darnold's huge night and the QBs hitting free agency soon. The Jets are favorites over the Browns, and could Zac Taylor end up with the Giants? Jerry's got Tiki's take on Deonte Banks, Dart on the Giants' struggles, and Darnold's perfect first half. Plus, Jayden Daniels' injury, Daniel Jones' turnover montage, and Brian Schottenheimer's owl-and-snake saga. Everything's collapsing for Big Blue — 105 points allowed in 9 quarters.
Life doesn't always make sense in the moment — but God is always at work behind the scenes. In this series, we'll walk through one of the most powerful narratives in Scripture, tracing Joseph's journey from favored son to forgotten prisoner to faithful leader. Along the way, we'll discover that even when life feels unfair or uncertain, God's hand is steady and his purposes are good. What others mean for evil, God can redeem for good — if we'll trust him with the bigger picture.

The crew look ahead on this Patriots Monday at the rest of the schedule and debate how they size up against those teams.
A robot enters the ring to fight for the middleweight championship, but it's not the title belt that hangs in the balance so much as what he's being encouraged to say to the crowd when he wins… if he wins.“Title Fight” by William Gault (Fantastic Universe December 1956)
Everyone wants favor—but not everyone walks in it. ET breaks down the difference between being God's favorite and actually living favored. The key? Non-negotiables. Daniel prayed three times a day even when a law said not to (Daniel 6). Ananias and Sapphira said “yes” with their mouths but negotiated the covenant with their hearts (Acts 5). In this message, you'll learn: - Why modifying God's instructions cancels momentum - How to set spiritual non-negotiables (prayer, integrity, obedience) - The trap of “I'll obey…until it costs me” - Why favor follows alignment, not popularity or connections If you're tired of praying without progress, this is for you. Lock in your non-negotiables, and watch God do what men can't.

About Our Guest — Courtney A. Barber Courtney A. Barber is a retired U.S. Navy Master Chief Petty Officer, motivational speaker, three-time published author, and certified life purpose coach with over 25 years of military leadership experience. A Fayetteville, North Carolina native, Courtney is the founder of Sapphire Veteran HR, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women veterans in Hampton Roads transition from service to civilian life with confidence and community. After a decorated Navy career, Courtney transformed her journey of adversity, faith, and resilience into a personal mission to empower others through her brand, Unapologetically Favored—a movement and mindset that encourages people to walk boldly in their truth. She has authored multiple books including Unapologetically Favored, Wake Up. Turn Up. Bless Up., and Never Be Afraid to Eat Alone, each blending leadership, spirituality, and personal growth. In December 2023, she served as part of the MyNavy Coaching Team, leading a five-day Coaching Master Course in San Diego to develop the next generation of Navy leaders. Today, Courtney continues to mentor, teach, and inspire through her speaking engagements, coaching programs, and advocacy for authenticity, representation, and emotional intelligence in leadership. Learn more about her work at UnapologeticallyFavored.net or follow her on social media at @unapologeticallyfavored. About This Episode: In this episode, Damo and Aaron sit down with retired Master Chief and author Courtney Barber—North Carolina native and writer of Unapologetically Favored—for a raw, funny, and deeply human conversation about faith, identity, leadership, and redemption inside the U.S. Navy. The guys open with barbershop energy, debating Dave Chappelle vs. Eddie Murphy, fresh off Damo catching Chappelle live, before pivoting into Courtney's early life in the South, her family dynamics, and how her upbringing shaped the way she learned to love, trust, and lead. She opens up about her father figures, teenage pregnancy, abortion, and the boundaries she had to build to protect her peace. Courtney reflects on her early Navy journey—boot camp, A-school, and those unforgettable early days in uniform—sharing stories of laughter, adversity, and lessons learned. Aaron delivers a hilarious breakdown of “honch monsters,” and the crew swaps memories of Great Lakes and the RDC grind. Courtney discusses the mentors who taught her the value of training your reliefs, the importance of accountability, and what ultimately inspired her to write Unapologetically Favored after a viral post questioning empty “thank-you for your service” gestures. Listener questions about leadership spark a powerful exchange on the role of First Class Petty Officers and why leaders must trust their people enough to let them lead, fail, and grow. From being married against her nature and struggling with instinct to finally embracing her truth and telling her mom, Courtney walks listeners through the courage it took to live authentically under Don't Ask, Don't Tell. She shares the impact of good mentorship, the value of grace after mistakes, and how faith and resilience helped her rise through adversity. Damo introduces the idea of giving Sailors “scarlet letters” for their failures, which leads to a discussion about forgiveness, perception, and leadership growth. Courtney also reflects on what she learned from a failed BCA. It's three hours of honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom—laughter, confession, mentorship, and faith woven into one conversation. From barbershop debates to leadership lessons to spiritual redemption, this episode captures everything Permission to Speak Freely stands for: real people, real leadership, and real conversations that matter.
