We thought this was going to be a productive discussion but our listener base is beginning to show their uh, true colors. "Cheap and fun cars" shouldn't include vehicles that cost over $40K. It also shouldn't include commercial jetliners but here we are. An attempt was made, this week on Flag Time.

Sterling was out at a car meet with previous guest TheMacDoctor1101. So Pixy and Mobius decided to talk about the series that spawned their online usernames. Hope you enjoy! Regular mainline episodes will be back next week.

Max, AKA "AirplaneFactsWithMax", joins the hosts this week to discuss the differences between aircraft service and passenger car service. Its an extremely interesting discussion, highlighting what goes on in an aircraft service hangar and how upkeep of a commercial airliner is performed, up to and including generous info-dumping about the Quest of the Ring while next to a triple seven landing gear. Its a lore filled journey on this weeks episode of Flag Time!

Topic for this week was Tires because our producer drove in snow and saw someone almost bin their car into a ditch attempting to keep up with a car equipped with snow tires. Just like that car attempted to keep up, the trio this week attempted just as hard to stay on topic. It was a difficult one this time, but we made it in the end. Barely

Lack of sleep can be a net negative for your health. However, there is a small window where sleep deprivation can unleash a short lived bout of euphoria, where even the dumbest things can make a person cry with laughter. Can you guess when this happens in this weeks episode? Random things overheard in the workplace is the topic, it gets weird.

Its the Flag Time Christmas Episode! Mainly cuz this episode released Christmas 2023. Hope you had a good Christmas, cuz we did. Probably. Anyway, we talk about getting sick, making more hours than our coworkers, and saving someone's life on this episode. Its a good time.

This week on Flag Time, The topic of discussion is "The period of time in between high school and your first mechanic job". For two of the three hosts, this was a very short window. Almost non-existent. However for one of our hosts, the dude practically did sidequests for 8 years. Just goes to show that its never too late to start something new.

Serrated's Dashboard on the dining room table, Sterling's ungodly car list. Pixy's Rotary Story. We talk about cars on our car show this week! That's different! Is this a car show even?

Turns out our listeners want to hear our tips for what to look out for when buying a new or used vehicle. The poll said so.

This week the trio discuss the flat rate system of pay that technicians earn their living by, and they have some opinions about it. Some okay, Mostly bad. General disdain towards large corporations ahoy on this episode of Flag Time!
