"I need striking colours: black, red, white." Shawbadi keeps digging himself into the liking natzi flag allegation hole.
NOOOO 😭 i meant liike canada and albania
@@Shwabadi all im hearing is nazi germany and japan.
@@Shwabadicanceled lol
@@ShwabadiNah you know what country today has striking colors like that Germany and Belgium the Red Yellow and Black actually so satisfying
Literally an episode of *'Fun with Flags'* 😂🤣
The smooth jazz intro slaps.
This should've been the Tekking collab episode 😂
Over the Steelers flag? He was really passionate about it in isekai dnd
No they are saving him for the geography episode
I bet he mostly knows about one piece flags 😅
Where is tekking on this collaboration. He knows flags and geography
That jazz intro is SO good! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree! The best mood setter beat
Being Canadian I am biased toward our flag, but our flag is so important to Vexillology that it created the term "Canadian Pale" (Thanks CGP Grey for teaching me that) meaning that the center colour, in Canada's case white, takes up half the area of the whole flag instead of the traditional third of the flag.
“Hello, I’m Daniel Rustage and this is Mark Shwabadi. Welcome to Daniel Rustage and Mark Shwabadi present Fun with Flags.”
😂
Seriously though, Despite Shwabadi’s concerning proclivity towards the most controversial of flags, this was actually a great episode!
I did not know about the Liberian County Flags before, but I will never forget them now.
Definitely need a follow-up episode where you guys discuss the best and worst FICTIONAL FLAGS!
~_~
i dont blame Shwabadi at all. considering that origin of nazi flag is AH taking symbol of something beautiful and turning it into what we know today as one of worst symbol in history, i dont judge anyone who sees the symbol and judge it for what it is instead of what it represent.
for those who dont know, Swastik is symbol of hinduism and it represents well-being, good fortune and prosperity.
@@frankcayseron8637 I was entirely joking about Shwabadi 😆
I was aware of the original symbol's origins, and it's truly unfortunate what the Nazi'z did by co-opting the design and forever tainting it 😔
~_~
Honestly I haven't missed an episode yet. I love hearing these men talk about hobbies and hyperfixations even tho I don't share some of them its still very fun to listen too
Okay, if you want me to be honest. The Nazi flag in Japanese culture symbolizes prosperity and good fortune for it's people, and Oda actually wanted to use it for Whitebeards actual flag.
I'm not supporting the Nazi flag but saying it out loud, and thanks for Mentioning South Africa's colorful flag. I just like it's flag
The Nazi flag does NOT represent prosperity and good fortune in Japanese culture, just the symbol on it, the swastika.
Be careful of what you're saying, someone might take you to imply Japanese people associate Nazism with good fortune, as opposed to them simply using a symbol that many cultures around the world have used to represent a variety of concepts for thousands of years
That isn't he nazi flag, it's a swastika which is a holy symbol in most parts of asia. The nazi version is rotated slightly so it's easy to distinguish
@@Shwabadi Technically what your referring to is called a manji symbol not a swastika. Almost correct tho, so well done. It's a pretty niche fact for some reason.
Gotta say, even though Gallup is sketch as hell, I love that New Mexico comes up so often with you guys.
I actually learned about this in middle school. Purple dye was harvest by catching Murex sea snails and drying them in the sun on fabric for hours, and the purple ooze would dye the cloth underneath. You needed a LOT of snails to make clothes of any kind, as you can imagine.
I love when I get back home and there's a fresh hobby hole episode to fall down.
Love the Jamaican representation 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Ok that intro was nice! love this podcast
This Episode was really interesting with the best nerdcore artist. Always nice to listen to and watch, keep it up. Rustage & shwabadi. 😁
Love this podcast so fun
Lesgooo fun with flags
Two of my favorite flags are actually from here in Canada, the Newfoundland provincial flag, and the Nunavut Territory flag! They are both really nice and have great meaning to the province/territory they represent.
As a Nepali, always proud when people compliment us on our flags.
That was some introduction! ❤
Dr. Rustage Cooper and Dr. Shwabadi Farrah Fowler Presents: Dr. Rustage Cooper's Fun with Flags.
I loved this episode! No one I know has this hyperfixation except from me, so I can't really talk about flags, and this episode was so great to listen to!
My favourite flag, apart from the Bhutan one and the Estonian one, it's actually the Russian Empire one. And the Vatican city one, that is also a very visually pleasing one for me!. And one of the flags I hate the most has to be the Manchuria flag. It's simple, but I hate the colours chosen so much-
Also, on that note, I have done a bit of researching into spanish flags, and there's surprisingly several province's flags that are mostly purple!
Man listening to them go on about flags, i wish i cared that much about flags so i to could join in in this flag enjoyment.
Never thought I'd be watching a 37 min video of two dudes talk about flags but here we are😂 only because it's you guys!
There is something I love about the Libanon flag, it just looks like christmas
Surprised rustage got through that without finding a way to bring up the Steelers logo
Geography teacher from KS and I agree our flag sucks but there’s been some redesigns of the Kansas City flag that are dope
0:30 - 1:15 gave me hope for this earth
The purple is called Tyrian purple because it was made from the really rare Murex snail
As a Wisconsinite I can only agree that a blue flag with
[State Name]
[State Coat of Arms]
[Founding Year]
is a terrible, unoriginal and uninspiring flag designs. Most state flags need heavy redesigns to make them stand out from one another
And a little fun fact. In 1979, our flag was “modified” to add the name and date in order to differentiate it from other state flags that looked similar. That’s how bad most state flags are
As a greek i have my bias obviously, but i really think the old greek flag (blue background with a white cross) was a really good design. Simple, yet conveyed the character of the country so well (the cross standing for the orthodox church, the blue being a color linked with the blue sky and the sea, while the colors blue and white have been deeply associated with greece nowadays. And during the monarchy era (or eras given how many times that came and went) a small gold crown was added at the center of the cross. Simple yet effective
Rustage you're so funny 🤯😁 and love the canadian edition that's my home 💪🏽🔥🍻
a nice fine day for some hobby hole
milwaukee('s new) flag and greenlands flag are SO gorgeous. i love them.
Glad that there are fans of the Maryland flag
6:47 WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?!
On the topic of flags for regions for a country having design cohesion, id like pointing out the regions of Slovakia, which are all segmented into 4 parts in some way and all of them look decent (except Prešov which looks unfinished)
Something about the study of flags really Vexes my lology
Damn, rustage and Schwabady are flipping EDM machines
25:32 MARYLAND REPUSANTATION WHOOOOOO
MARYLAND FLAG REPRESENT! We love our flag here and I was so worried they were gonna talk shit on it lol.
I feel like every intro gets longer and more unhinged lmfao
The worst flag I've ever seen is the old Pocatello, Idaho city flag. It has giant red, white, and blue text; a TM in it, and the mountain symbol has so much wrong with it
The disclaimer about needing googling doesn’t apply to me because I am a flag tryhard
The Australian Aboriginal Flag. A deeply symbolic and proud flag.
We have several gas stations in Nebraska that have building size US flags that they fly.
Down the hobby hole we go 🫡
Some flags I REALLY like, purely on design (not in order):
1. Tibetan Flag
2. Siam Flag
3. Qing Dynasty Flag (better version of Bhutan flag imo)
4. Kazakhstan Flag
5. Mongolian Flag
6. Isle of Man Flag
7. Saudi Arabian Flag
8. Albanian Flag
Lmk what you think!
Qing dynasty , Albania and Saudi Arabia are peak.
Damn they didn't talk about price flags smh my head😔
Union Jack is amazing! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thoughts on Tennessee? I’m biased because that’s where I’m from, but the symbolism with the three stars and the three parts, east, middle and west are cool to me
6:06 Counter point. The Bangladeshi flag doesn't work because the color palette is stupid. Palau's done it right. Not as well as Japan, but it's done it right
I always like Japan and Jamaica's flags the most
Thought yall were going to be making your own flags at the end of the episode.
Ah yes, hole the down hobby with the MD
I cant belive they where worried about a northern state having confederate origins 😂
I'm a dummy !
@@rustagetwo The flag of which u speak is actually the rebel flag, it isnt even the flag the south flew durring the war, yet people still get all bent out of shape about the wrong flag. Thats the good ol usa for ya
Commenting before state flag convo. Arizona is the best state flag!!
Yeees AZ shoutout from Rustage let's goooo
Shwab mentioning my country 🇨🇿
I'm honored XD
HOMETOWN MENTIONED WOOOOO RICHMOND, VIRGINIA (there are so many flags here 😭😭😭)
freddie mercury, Prince and...ohhh FLAGS!...cool cool
Dam not us Americans just taking shit the entire episode lmao, W episode
I live in Alaska I was wandering what you think of the Alaska state flag👍
If you like the Canadian flag, the Lebanese flag is around the same thing.
Maryland flag getting the respect it deserves!
To me the Bangladesh flag is just a better japan. It makes more sense too. The suns rising so its red and the green fields are the background. Japan has the same sun but the white makes no sense. Looks aight tho.
Im dead this is funny
This was the worst episode to listen too when driving 😂. I couldn’t look up anything
State flags are weird
Question, where is Tekking?
Yall gona talk about Malaysia stealing ol glory and just removing the stars????
CGP Grey fans wildin’ out right now
Just started the episode off and they already began with the stupid rules!
He likes the Japanese flag but hates Bangladesh’s when they’re the same level!
As someone who really likes the Bangladeshi flag, I kind of agree with Shwabadi the white and red works a lot better than the green and red
my fbi agent gonna be confused asf when they see my google history after this ep lmao
also thoughts on sri lankan flag?
intro music name?
no flag draft?
A perfect flag in my opinion is the Virginia state flag, it has the state seal of the embodiment of virtue standing over the body of tyrany with the state motto "Sic Semper Tyranus" or thus always to tyrants which really embodies Virginia as a state having been the start of the American revolution
Note for shwabadi and rustage talking about a giant flag being in Richmond Virginia, Virginia is where the revolution began and Richmond is the capital, Richmond was one of the first settlements and has major historical significance like the rest of Virginia
If you need any more context of Virginia's significance to the country look at its nicknames birthplace of the nation and mother of presidents
Union Jack is trash btw, only looks good sailing away in retreat😂😂😂
Fuck yeah flags!!!
bucks flag looks like my schools flag lol
Ohio's state flag isn't based off the confederecy so don't worry about that one, they were a union state.
Search the biggest flag in the world 🎊
Smh you didn't say what flag it was at the end
it wasn't a flag it was an image of two poorly drawn steven universe characters
@@rustagetwo Hmm
Peak
@@rustagetwo u dirty so & so, i knew it!!!!😜😜😜😜
7 minutes in & i here them say the Bangladesh flag is mid, im already not happy.
Cmon all of the subcontinent flags are goated. India does have a pretty terrible green but other than that it's really good. Sri Lanka may be a lot but it looks so sick, when it comes to animals on the flag; Sri Lanka is the GOAT, Wales is amazing & it's around my top 10 but Sri Lanka is my top 2
I will admit this is kinda bias as I am a Pakistani so I do feel an inclination towards the flags but i dont care; the country flags here are great
I am dog
Virginia was were the flag was the home of George Washington
A
Welsh flag is the best everyone knows it
You could at least edit the video version to show the flags so we dont have to google them. Or describe each flags look, not just name it and expect listeners to google them all.
this is fair criticism, sorry, we did try to describe them but only after we realise that flag talk is maybe not the best for an audio podcast hahaha
@rustagetwo appreciate you being receptive! I've enjoyed the other episodes, but this one was tough to follow. I hope you do an episode about rocks/gems. That's my hobby!
Of Nepal DOESNT get mentioned for being based asf I might unsubscribe 👀
My problem with flags is that they are very often tied to nationalism.
Favorite flag is definetly the antifa one. The combination of the red and black looks great and the flags on the flag work.
