Happy Flag Day Part 3

== Overview ==
Double Heads Variety Hour presents "Happy Flag Day Part 3," where DJs Dillon Minacci and Matt Fox presents a playlist combining flag albums and flag albums. They meet a Flag Day legend, interview a root vegetable, and learn about tractor pulls. Listen to the episode.
== Episode Summary ==
Matt Fox and Dillon Minacci catch up on a month away from each other, but ultimately they want to talk about what they're doing for Flag Day, their favorite holiday. Dillon spent time in British Columbia, where the international Flag Day celebration took place, and he took five flags to the gathering. He also learned to sew over the past five years.
They get a call of Joe from the Ham Council, and he provides backstory on the origins of "Flag Day" and how his band came to write the iconic work.
The DJs then get a call from Carmelita Rubenstein, an amateur tractor pull champion from Pensacola, FL. He claims to compete where the "southeast meets the northwest," which the DJs believe might just be Kansas. Carmelita practices his pulls in his 25 yard lawn, where he operates a custom tractor made by various parts provided by fans – hence his dual Mexican/United States hybrid flags attached to both ends of his tractor. He calls the practice "flagriculture," which the DJs appreciate.
Before the DJs can go further into their program, they are interrupted by a floating root vegetable wearing sunglasses and a trench coat named Rutabaga. He is a rutabaga from West Virginia who has made his way to Austin to audition for a saxophonist position with Lonesome Heroes, who are playing a concert the following week at Carousel Lounge. He identifies as both a vegetable and mineral, and the DJs have a hard time figuring out what a mineral is.
They decide the genres complement.
