First off, the Late Crew plays the “Complete The Headline” game-test your knowledge of recent military news stories! (05:17) Then, out on California's coast, Vandenberg Space Force Base is revving its engines for a launch-heavy future. More rockets, more missions, more global eyes on the Western Range. But while Guardians see liftoff, some locals see traffic, noise, and a skyline full of contrails. It is a space race playing out at neighborhood level, where orbital ambition meets earthly pushback. (17:57) Meanwhile on the ground, the M1E3 Abrams is creeping into view like a steel panther. The U.S. Army is building a lighter, smarter, hybrid-drive version of its iconic tank. Less fuel guzzling, more stealthy glide. Crews may soon be rolling into position with a vehicle that sounds less like thunder and more like a bad decision sneaking up on you. (32:41) Up in the skies, aviators from the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps are getting next-generation helmets straight out of a sci-fi cockpit. Think enhanced displays, better tracking, and tech that helps pilots process chaos at supersonic speed. The helmet is no longer just protection, it is a flying sensor suite wrapped around a human brain. (42:40) And just when you think you have seen every military vehicle possible, the U.S. Coast Guard pulls up on a tactical jet ski. Fast, nimble, and built for tight maritime chases, these water rockets are turning surf zones and crowded waterways into high-speed chess boards. (45:57) We conclude the show talking about the exploits and adventures of Air Force Colonel John Stapp, “The Fastest Man Alive”. (54:51) Spaceports expanding. Tanks going quiet. Helmets getting smarter. Jet skis going tactical. The future battlefield is not just evolving, it is upgrading its entire loadout. https://lateforchangeover.com/

It is, it isn't, and it isn't in that order. Cleetus Hogg is introduced to us all in this Season 1 Dukes episode to play the role of Boss Hogg's second cousin twice removed flunky. He does and he is. But he somehow ends up helping Boss Hogg in a bank heist…..that he was in on before it was conceived. And then he fails at it. And then Bo and Luke save the day…..by doing a literal body snatching swap, only I'm not sure that they meant to. Just like Cleetus said in the S3 Episode The Great Santa Claus Chase, "Can someone come get me; I'm lost!" But, it is a Season 1 Dukes Episode, shot in California with 14” wheels on Chargers, and Al Wyatt stunt driving the General in Full Send mode for the entire. C'est magnifique!
