This extended episode also includes a special cameo of one of our past guests. Yet another episode where things go everyw...

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 speci...

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 h...

Just take a wild guess who that might be. Go liste...

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 your...

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 o...

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

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...

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.
