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. And be sure to join the fun on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrzPMzqLMg05QK9B2tpO4NA

This week on Late For Changeover, we kick things off with a highly classified review of... Facebook posts. That’s right, the crew goes full open-source intel mode on recent social media shenanigans. Then we dig into something that actually matters—Space Force is throwing serious cash at retention with re-enlistment bonuses hitting $180,000. That’s a lot of coin to stay in orbit and keep your mustache regs sharp.
We also cover the latest diplomatic dumpster fire: the U.S. and South Korean defense chiefs telling North Korea to knock it off with the garbage balloon air raids. Yes, we’re at the part of 2025 where trash is a geopolitical weapon. From there, we take on a WWII slang quiz that’ll make you question if you’re a vet or just watched Band of Brothers twice, and we close by honoring the sinking of the USS Indianapolis—a tragic and heroic moment in naval history. It’s News for Vets, dark humor, and space force podcast energy all wrapped up in one glorious mess.
