Audie Murphy Would Like a Word (and Probably Your Rifle) Jan 24 24

This week on Late For Changeover, the Space Force goes gig economy—because nothing says “elite warfighting domain” like a part-time Guardian with weekend availability. We salute the side-hustle hustle while a rogue wave sucker-punches a U.S. Army base in the Marshall Islands (nature’s version of “check your six”). And in a masterclass of military oopsies, a misplaced flashlight gets sucked into an F-35 engine, lighting $4 million on fire.

We also rewind to one of the OGs of badassery: Audie Murphy and his one-man stand in January 1945. Spoiler: he didn’t need stealth jets or supersonic drones—just grit, guts, and a whole lot of ammo. If you're here for space news podcast content, epic fails, or News for Vets with a side of gallows humor, this episode hits harder than a wave at high tide.
