Late For Changeover is the podcast for anyone who’s ever rolled into guard mount a few minutes late but still got the job done—with a story to tell. Hosted by veterans Marty Smith, Eric “Mr. History” Piarrot, Jake Wall, Ana Mondragon, and rotating guests, this weekly show blends military humor, historical deep dives, space-force-level absurdity, and off-the-rails banter. It’s smart, sharp, and just unhinged enough to keep you coming back. From billion-dollar rocket launches to confederate statue debates, every episode serves up irreverent takes from people who’ve been there, done that, and still remember their shift-change stories. ”Swearing In” is a special interview series from Late For Changeover that explores the moment everything changed: the decision to raise your right hand. Through intimate, one-on-one conversations, each episode dives into the personal stories behind enlistment, capturing the motivations, fears, and defining moments that led individuals to military service. From first-generation soldiers to second-chance enlistees, Swearing In honors the deeply human side of the uniform, offering listeners a raw, reflective look at where the journey really begins. Late For Changeover isn’t just jokes and jargon. Beneath the laughs are reflections on identity, transition, leadership, and what it means to serve—and then move on. Whether you’re a vet, an active-duty listener, or just someone who loves to laugh at acronyms and unpack the weirdness of bureaucracy, you’ll feel right at home. No branch is spared, no topic is off limits, and no one escapes a roast—especially the hosts. Hit subscribe, and join the formation. Just don’t be late.

This week on Late For Changeover, we go from boom to buffoonery faster than a Humvee on the run. First up: we remember Operation Ivory Coast—the 1970 special ops raid that was part high-risk heroism, part "did-we-just-land-at-the-wrong-prison?" chaos. Then we jump to SpaceX news as Starship’s second uncrewed launch ends with another fireball finale. It’s like NASA meets NASCAR, and everyone’s watching for the wreck.
We also ask the tough questions—like how do you actually make Air Force bases safer and Security Forces less cranky? Plus, the Army awkwardly slides into the DMs of soldiers booted over vaccine refusals (hey...u up?). And don’t miss our breakdown of the great National Guard Humvee heist, which ends exactly how you'd expect—in a high-speed chase and poor decisions. We wrap with the Rotten Tomatoes Game, because what better way to end a military podcast than by judging terrible movies like it’s a deployment rec room? Buckle up—it’s News for Vets with afterburners.
