    Season 3 : Episode 3 "Funnel Talk" Ships and Ocean Liners

    For April Fools, StackTalk becomes Funnel Talk. Billy and Dan (now the “Keel Brothers”) talk about ships: why they like them, where that interest comes from, and how it traces back through family history tied to shipbuilding in Scotland. The conversation moves between ocean liners like the RMS Queen Mary, naval history, and the technical side of how ships are measured and understood. It’s a loose, slightly absurd detour from the usual train-focused format, but not as far off as it might seem.
