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
