Especially when it comes to Automobiles. THIS WEEK this episode is one of the episodes of all time. We talk about YouTube, weed, tariffs (cuz the automotive industry is directly affected and this is an automotive service podcast gg no re) and the story of Serrated's car battery failing in a parking lot. Complaining about US built vehicles from the perspective of mechanics, this week on Flag Time.

McLaren Technician Brett Rudin (@themacdoctor1101) Joins us one more time to chat about McLaren Senna shenanigans and meeting up with 2/3rds of the Flag Time hosts. Alot has happened since Episode 19, which was the first time Brett was on, and we discuss most of it. McLaren Silliness, this week on Flag Time!

Drive your ass out really far. THIS WEEK we just yap. Lots a yapping. This is a podcast so that's kinda what you're supposed to do. But this podcast has three automotive service professionals yapping so that's a plus, probably. Two of us are Master certified wow check that out. Anyway in this episode: highway on ramps have yield signs, physics go brr, and Pixy gets hit in the face with a dildo (he's recalling a story, this doesn't actually happen in the episode). Fake equine weenor ahoy on this weeks episode of Flag Time.

The Back Lot (@the__back__lot) joins our podcast this week to talk about making art and being a byeah connoisseur. Pixel art, using all caps, and Sterworks being adhd are all things that happen in this episode. Use you're big letter's and relax while you listen to an exceptionally chaotic episode. This week on Flag Time!

This week Serrated shows off the wind tunnel he got for free in exchange for videos of said tunnel (One got 1.5 million views what).

Story episode this week! Serrated leads with an appetizer story then Sterworks gets into the main meat of the episode with his story of a coworker who just didn't do anything and was proud of it. You can probably guess where this is gonna go. If you cant, stay tuned and find out. This week on Flag Time!

Hilarious bulldozer operator Hey Dozer joins the three idiots this week to talk about being a hilarious bulldozer operator and sharing this on social media. Warhammer gets mentioned along with finding computers in the landfill, among other things. Yall know if you throw something away in the trash, it doesn't just disappear? It'll be seen again. Stinky stories ahoy, this week on Flag Time!

*Content Warning, Listener Discretion Advised* THIS WEEK Sterling got big scammed. Serrated gonna get snowed on again, & Pixy got bleeped. Basically a normal episode of Flag Time at this point. We also talk about future guests and gauging how bad words are. Woooo

General discussion episode ahoy! What is the instagram looking forward to? If you guessed Weenor, you got it. Probably wont be any of that tho. The Patreon only has nips, no weenor (real). Dont put antisieze on your lug studs. It do a bad. Anyway, this week on Flag Time. aaaaaaaaaa

WE'RE BACK. Hope you enjoyed your holidays. We sure did. It's time to subject everyone to our idiocy again for another year. Y'all love it tho so its whatever. There's no topic for this episode so the discussion goes in many places. Good news about jobs and video games. This week on Flag Time!

Cuz y'all asked for him, hilariously. Season 2 Finale episode! WOO. Season 3 begins mid January. Enjoy this absolutely chaotic and unhinged episode for the season 2 sendoff. em2 yuki hasn't changed since the last time he was on. Which was episode 9 btw. We've done this for a bit now damn. Anyway. We're all probably on watchlists now. This week on Flag Time.

Prog metal guitarist and car fanatic Misha Mansoor joins the three auto techs this week to talk about cars and music. Topics include having a McLaren Artura as a press car for a week, Formula 1 happenings, and how to djent gud. Also meta level questions from our Patreon members. Entertaining discussions about music fueled car obsessions, this week on Flag Time!

This week we asked our Instagram following a question that ended up being completely unrelated to the topic we discussed. We talk about music in this episode. Stuff were listening to and stuff we've heard many times before. The listeners who participated in this episode were asked a tool related question. No not the rock band. This week on Flag Time.

PART 2 OF THE POINTLESS TIER LIST WORSHIP OUR OPINIONSNo don't do that. This week we finish up the car tier list from vehicles given to us by our instagram followers.

Those of you reading this discription from the flag time instagram have already done this so no further action is need from you. Thank you for your support.wealsohaveapatreonbutthatsonlyifyouwanttomonetarilysupportusokaythanks

TIER LIST EPISODE. THE CLICHE PODCAST TIERLIST EPISODE. WE DID ONE. WERE A REAL PODCAST NOW. CUZ WE DID THE THING. OUR OPINION IS FACT. That hurt to type. We give cars a tier in our mechanic opinions in this episode. There are other discussions including pizza and ace combat again so its not all just tier list shenanigans but yeah. This week on tlag fime. Sorry, Flag Time.

Cora Goodwin (@core_ugh on insta) joins this mechanic hosted show as the first mechanical engineer to be our guest! We talk about what they do as an engineer, the prior vehicle builds they've done, and motorcycles on this episode. As well as: being a writer for Revzilla, Cora and Serrated fawning over dual swingarm motorcycles, and making go-fast parts for Mercedes M177 engines. No the Thermostat is not considered a Go-fast part. Motorcycling through Italy and comparing a AR bolt to an axle half shaft ahoy on this episode of Flag Time!

*That talks alot about not that. You know what you're getting into at this point. If not, if this is your first episode. What an introduction. Welcome to the dumbness. You're not gonna find technical discussions about auto repair even when were talking about exactly that. We might be Mechanics/Technicians, but what were not is professional in any way. Probably for the best. This week on Flag Time, the episode that made Serrated cry laugh while recording and also editing it.

Misdirected anger is more worthless than decaffeinated espresso. Focus that energy towards something more productive. Something might actually change when you do that. Weird how that works. Anyway, we got another random story episode for you this week. Is the title related to current events? Probably. Some of y'all might be tuning in cuz of misinformation going around concerning one of the hosts. Tune in and learn a thing maybe, this week on Flag Time.

Rodrigo Rivera, AKA @rigoratio, joins this weeks episode to talk about his newfound notoriety when it comes to efficiently working on transmissions of all types and showing his skills on the internet. This episode is also the most educational episode of Flag Time to date. From dealer transmission replacements to how to get metal out of your eye. The thing in-between the engine and driveshaft, this week on Flag Time!

Video Game Producer and Ace Combat nerd Ben Strauss (@sinner101gr) joins the three idiots to talk about his BMW, producing games you've probably heard of, and the lore behind his and Serrated's foray into Ace Combat 6 online shenanigans. Fun fact: they were in the same competitive online team in AC6 back in the 2009-2012 time frame. The stories of this team still keeping in touch to this day can be heard here. Including the story of what the Ace Combat Community did for Serrated back during a dark time. Reminiscing and video games, this week on Flag Time!

Pixy wanted this episode to be the Distractible ripoff episode. So that's what we do for the first half. Then we complain about how expensive stuff is for no reason other than to keep the lifestyles of the corporate higher ups afloat. "The market decides the prices" Yeah the market can shove an extra large bad dragon up its ween. Anyway, check out the video version of this episode on our Patreon! Capitalism! This week on Flag Time!

Welcome to an automotive service podcast where you learn about the difference between two very closely related insects cuz reasons. Anyway, this and other things were discussed in this episode. the other things being our topic of "what was a decision that you're glad you made". This extended episode also includes a special cameo of one of our past guests. Yet another episode where things go everywhere this week on Flag Time

We asked our Patreon and our Instagram two separate questions cuz we inconsistent like that. The Paid members got to answer a thought provoking question while the Instagram got to brag about which game they be gooder than everyone at. Pretty much the result of one medium having a larger character count for responses than the other. hee hoo.Anyway, this episode of Flag Time is brought to you specifically by the Modern Warfare 3 (2011) SMAW that is wielded by Serrated in Hardcore TDM that he will shoot at you even if you're standing right next to him. It is also brought to you by an Ace Combat 6 F-22 Raptor fitted with QAAM's piloted by Serrated who is pressing B every 5 seconds while locked onto you....Serrated what the hell man.

If you're fed up, stop dealing with it. You are one decision away from making your situation better. Nothing is stopping you from making that decision, like actually. Go out there and grab that shit cuz you are worth more than what your current situation claims you are. Vague inspirational messages aside, if you're working somewhere that just drains you, nothing is making you stay. 2/3rds of the hosts of this show have left toxic workplaces very recently which is what we talk about this episode. Improved moods and decreased gas expenditures this week on Flag Time!

Zack Klapman from "The Smoking Tire" joins the shidhead trio of mechanics to talk about making automotive content on the internet and what goes into that. We also talk about whether we're genuinely happy, what its like having a high profile guest on a podcast you produce, and inclusivity. All while one of the hosts has top level ADHD distractions. Just take a wild guess who that might be. Go listen to The Smoking Tire if you don't already. It's an gud show.

This episode of Flag Time has the three headasses pick a recent automotive news article to discuss. As you're aware by now by the tagline of this show, this was barely talked about. Enjoy them attempting to stay on topic for as long as possible, however futile that may be.

There are countless influencers on social media that will say to keep to yourself in the work place and don't share too much information. We feel like environments that require that kind of mindset are toxic and not worth the trouble. So we asked our listeners of this automotive-service-but-not-really podcast what they do concerning that subject. Are you friendly in the shop or do you keep to yourself and why? These three professional yappers discuss this and many other work related things in this weeks episode of Flag Time.

Tapinoma sessile. They are a species of house ant that is documented to have a pungent odor when crushed. The odor has been compared to rotten coconut, rancid butter, or blue cheese. Which begs two questions. Why does blue cheese smell like rotten coconut and rancid butter? And more importantly, what is wrong with people who actually like blue cheese? It's got mold in it for gods sake. This week on Flag Time, we discuss this and other things cuz Serrated forgot to ask our listeners a question. We hope this ruins blue cheese for you.

We told our listeners to ask us anything they wanted to ask us. Turns out it was alot. This episode is nearly two hours long wtf. Anyway. Enjoy this extended episode of Flag Time cuz wow

If you named your vehicle, what was it? That's what we discussed in this sleepy episode this week. wooo

This week we asked "What was your favorite vehicle you've ever piloted?". Turns out yall have navigated some cool stuff. Some cooler than others. Anyway, yet another good ol episode of Flag Time for ya.

Technician A states that listening to Flag Time can extend life expectancy. Technician B states that 30 minutes of uninterrupted Flag Time exposure can damage neurons. Who is correct? A? B? Both? or Neither? We asked our listeners for the dumbest ASE style questions they could think up. They definitely delivered. Confusion ahoy on this episode of Flag Time!

We were supposed to be pure haters to whatever cars were mentioned but it ended up being just a light roasting session almost. Diluted Haterade on this episode of Flag Time where we talk about common problems that cars have.

Attempting a weekly upload schedule while also having a full time mechanic job is hard. Which is why were on Episode 40 instead of like 67, which is how many weeks old this podcast is. But were back to weekly episodes now cuz we've figured some stuff out. Happy 40th episode everyone

Our first ever guest of this show is now also our first repeat guest! Chris Manning rejoins the trio for another round of chaotic discussions. This time with video on Patreon! Big thanks to Chris for joining us again.

The differences between one shop to another can be insane. They all have their similarities, yes. But one built in 1960 cant be compared to one built last week. Plus all of the different owners and managers dictating how draining or not it is to all of the shop's employee's mental health. That cant be understated. Anyway, the difference between all the shops we've worked at is the topic for todays episode. Also Pixy cant describe objects to save his life omg.

The question we asked our listeners for this episode was "What makes a good shitbox?". Little did we know that a large majority would take the term literally. Y'all are gross. Anyway enjoy this haphazard episode of Flag Time as it goes everywhere. oh my god its on the ceiling.

This Episode of Flag Time is once again about two wheel'd transport. For those who are only into cars, you can join Pixy in the dont care group as 2/3rds of this shows hosts ride sportbikes. We talk about dream bikes!

In this episode of Flag Time, the main topic is our favorite automotive memes. No were not already running out of topics. Yes were an automotive service podcast. No you don't have to be miserable to be a mechanic. You just gotta be a bit nutso in the head. Which is why ur here probably. Enjoy this weeks episode ya walking ball of chaos energy.

Its one of the crossover episodes of all time this week as Dave and Ian from the Apex Adjacent podcast join Flag Time for an hour of highly concentrated car and car adjacent discussion. Go Check out Apex Adjacent for yourself for more of Dave and Ian! Serrated was a guest on one of their past episodes.

Topic of discussion this week is "What is your definition of a racecar?". We also talked about facial scars and injuries in this episode. As well as Sterling's affinity for Marketplace browsing. This episode is alot. But that's what you guys come here for. Probably.

Yes. Actually.This week we have none other than Mr Regular from Regular Car Reviews joining us to talk about everything from how RCR came to be, all the way to discussing current life situations. It was an amazing chat and we hope you enjoy this very special episode. Mr Regular, this week on Flag Time.

The three hosts with two brain cells between them are back! Now with paywalled video content over on Patreon.com/flagtimepodcast cuz we didn't start off as a video podcast lol. Capitalism. Anyway enjoy the first official episode of Season 2! Its gonna be a good one.

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.
