Hello Internet

The Shortlist (BONUS EPISODE)

 

00:00:00   what are we doing here didn't we just put out a show this is crazy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/0">TS</a>]

00:00:04   a podcast famous for its long and sometimes unpredictable gaps and we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/4">TS</a>]

00:00:09   back already what's going on do you've any idea where spontaneous guys like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/9">TS</a>]

00:00:13   people cannot put us in a slot you don't know what we're going to do we could put [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/13">TS</a>]

00:00:18   the south and there could be another one ten seconds afterwards you don't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/18">TS</a>]

00:00:21   what we're going to do a crazy guys when the idea of this project first came up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/21">TS</a>]

00:00:25   one of the things that attracted me to it was the very notion of releasing so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/25">TS</a>]

00:00:30   shortly after I mean podcast has gone up like this is going to mess with all of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/30">TS</a>]

00:00:34   those charged that people like to make about hello Internet upload frequency I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/34">TS</a>]

00:00:38   can't remember being as excited about one of our podcasts as I am about this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/38">TS</a>]

00:00:43   one I am quite giddy so should I tell the people what we're doing yet this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/43">TS</a>]

00:00:47   this is this is a one topic show this one isn't this is like this year we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/47">TS</a>]

00:00:52   here for one thing and one thing only here for one thing and that is a flag [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/52">TS</a>]

00:00:59   referendum yet our flag referendum for the hello Internet podcast the hello [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/59">TS</a>]

00:01:05   Internet flag referendum this is is it a referendum greg is in a referendum about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/65">TS</a>]

00:01:09   changing our constitution is that a voter referendum were calling it a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/69">TS</a>]

00:01:13   referendum because I think in no small part we're trying to show New Zealand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/73">TS</a>]

00:01:18   how it's done after weeks and weeks if not months of commenting on the New [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/78">TS</a>]

00:01:23   Zealand flag referendum we're putting our money where our mouth is and saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/83">TS</a>]

00:01:27   this is how you do it my friends we decided to take matters into our own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/87">TS</a>]

00:01:32   hand show New Zealand how it's done and hold the flag referendum for our podcast [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/92">TS</a>]

00:01:39   this is i mean this says a lot about the esteem in which we hold flags because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/99">TS</a>]

00:01:44   people familiar with the podcast but obviously be aware after the rice rat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/104">TS</a>]

00:01:50   and swamp in fiasco [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/110">TS</a>]

00:01:52   that pretty much the official appointing of anything with the podcast is me doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/112">TS</a>]

00:01:57   on a whim and you just not resisting enough right but when it comes to a flag [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/117">TS</a>]

00:02:03   is like there's no there's no brady going off on his own and just doing here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/123">TS</a>]

00:02:06   this is serious business now we have been working on this together possibly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/126">TS</a>]

00:02:13   too much because we are both men who do things her own way and our particular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/133">TS</a>]

00:02:20   and control freak curry in our own ways and so we have come together to try to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/140">TS</a>]

00:02:25   figure out how to make this referendum happen but there has been much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/145">TS</a>]

00:02:29   discussion of details we even had an in-person meeting discussing today has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/149">TS</a>]

00:02:35   been a lot of preparation for what is ultimately going to be a very short show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/155">TS</a>]

00:02:39   wouldn't count on having a short show the thing I think I would love to have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/159">TS</a>]

00:02:45   been in the booth next to us at that pub last night in London over overhearing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/165">TS</a>]

00:02:49   the conversation we were just going into incredible detail about how the voting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/169">TS</a>]

00:02:53   is gonna wear what flags we should and shouldn't choose and why [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/173">TS</a>]

00:02:57   crazy crazy so to catch people up on things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/177">TS</a>]

00:03:03   several episodes back back in the early thirties about episodes we called for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/183">TS</a>]

00:03:10   people to submit hello Internet flag designs and so what we have done finally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/190">TS</a>]

00:03:18   as we approach our 50th episode is sort through all of the submitted flags and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/198">TS</a>]

00:03:25   we have kicked out five designs for possible flags for the show this is like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/205">TS</a>]

00:03:34   a short list basically we learned the lesson that what we're not going to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/214">TS</a>]

00:03:38   is create a long list to show everybody to have them talk about stuff and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/218">TS</a>]

00:03:44   arbitrarily pick a short list that's not the way to do it we're skipping straight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/224">TS</a>]

00:03:48   to the shortlist of five flags for people to vote on to help select our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/228">TS</a>]

00:03:55   podcast lag this still quite a bit of danger here we are putting an X on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/235">TS</a>]

00:03:59   block because when the New Zealand committee [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/239">TS</a>]

00:04:02   the committee as we call them right released their shortlist that we got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/242">TS</a>]

00:04:07   stuck into them and said you had one job it was pretty easy put together a good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/247">TS</a>]

00:04:11   short list and let us have a vote and we said they mustered up and now we're now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/251">TS</a>]

00:04:16   we're putting out a short list and if people don't like a shortlist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/256">TS</a>]

00:04:20   well we can look pretty silly I think we have done an excellent job and in our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/260">TS</a>]

00:04:26   assessment of ourself it's quite high on what one on the short list that we put [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/266">TS</a>]

00:04:29   together I have to say has given me a little bit of extra sympathy for the New [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/269">TS</a>]

00:04:34   Zealand committee though because you suddenly start second-guessing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/274">TS</a>]

00:04:40   putting yourself in a lot of people's minds and a lot of people shoes and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/280">TS</a>]

00:04:44   start thinking quite tactically and if we give them this option is there a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/284">TS</a>]

00:04:47   danger they might do this and you do sort of even though it's supposed to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/287">TS</a>]

00:04:51   sort of semi democratic you do start kind of manipulated with you shortly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/291">TS</a>]

00:04:58   well that's exactly what the shortlist is because if we just ask people to vote [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/298">TS</a>]

00:05:04   up vote down on the flags in that thread we would have gotten one of those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/304">TS</a>]

00:05:07   horrible comic sans blue flags with the hello Internet logo that looks like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/307">TS</a>]

00:05:14   state flag that's what people would do if you just let them if you just let [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/314">TS</a>]

00:05:17   them run crazy so when the shortlisting process one of our criteria was it has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/317">TS</a>]

00:05:22   to be a flag that if it wins we would be fine with this as the hello Internet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/322">TS</a>]

00:05:27   flag you can't run the risk of putting in a joke flag because guaranteed that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/327">TS</a>]

00:05:32   what everybody gets attracted to is the joke option so we were basically trying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/332">TS</a>]

00:05:36   to stop the rebel rose as before they browse some rebel exactly there will be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/336">TS</a>]

00:05:41   no rabble-rousing here this is serious business [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/341">TS</a>]

00:05:44   this is flags now before we get to the short list and that's obviously going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/344">TS</a>]

00:05:49   be quiet conversation and I can I can already sense the anticipation in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/349">TS</a>]

00:05:53   air waves but before we get to that the other thing we've done and I think to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/353">TS</a>]

00:05:58   minimize rabble-rousing is the voting process itself this is this is quite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/358">TS</a>]

00:06:04   something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/364">TS</a>]

00:06:05   we have had many conversations about how do you try to hold an election on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/365">TS</a>]

00:06:11   internet just as two guys that we don't have voting machines or anything for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/371">TS</a>]

00:06:17   people to use and we went back and forth about precisely what to do do we set up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/377">TS</a>]

00:06:23   an online poll do we have a reddit thread they were very very many options [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/383">TS</a>]

00:06:28   but what we have settled on as think the best choice for this and also to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/388">TS</a>]

00:06:35   honest the most fun choice is we are going to have people physically send us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/395">TS</a>]

00:06:41   postcards as the ballots for the flags us a post-election it is a post-election [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/401">TS</a>]

00:06:48   yes even though I mightily complain about votes that have to be done by post [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/408">TS</a>]

00:06:53   or in person and why can't they be done on my iPhone I have not going to have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/413">TS</a>]

00:06:57   this election on an iPhone we're going to do it with postcards it's about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/417">TS</a>]

00:07:02   election at the post and I can I just point out by the way that you with a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/422">TS</a>]

00:07:07   main advocate of this wasn't this wasn't old school Brady sort of convincing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/427">TS</a>]

00:07:11   growing technology you mister you know when will everyone get with the PA [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/431">TS</a>]

00:07:16   system and get with the program and have electronic voting you were Mr no I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/436">TS</a>]

00:07:20   wanted to outscore I want postcards I want snail mail oh yeah yeah a couple [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/440">TS</a>]

00:07:26   times in in the setup process for this I felt like we were arguing what should [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/446">TS</a>]

00:07:30   have been the stereotypical other person's position but I totally admit I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/450">TS</a>]

00:07:37   like the idea of the postal vote and I feel I feel charmed at the notion of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/457">TS</a>]

00:07:42   people going out and selecting a postcard to use as their ballot I like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/462">TS</a>]

00:07:47   this idea I feel that it's it's a romantic idea most I feel like I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/467">TS</a>]

00:07:52   rubbing off on you a bit no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/472">TS</a>]

00:07:59   I'm just in a really good mood because of the flags okay so we're gonna talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/479">TS</a>]

00:08:06   what was your main reason for choosing a post-election was at the charm of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/486">TS</a>]

00:08:12   post or was it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/492">TS</a>]

00:08:13   preventing voter fraud see I don't know if we should even discussed the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/493">TS</a>]

00:08:17   possibility of voter fraud but she has already this is already tipping over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/497">TS</a>]

00:08:24   into rebel rousing territory but my feeling was it is very very hard to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/504">TS</a>]

00:08:31   again just as to normal dudes who don't say have officially issued idea to all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/511">TS</a>]

00:08:38   of our listeners are anything like this it's very hard to coordinate an online [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/518">TS</a>]

00:08:42   poll that has any kind of meaning and as someone who spends a lot of time on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/522">TS</a>]

00:08:47   internet there is a sizable contingent of people who delight in nothing more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/527">TS</a>]

00:08:52   than screwing with anybody's online polls so it's just sounded really well I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/532">TS</a>]

00:09:01   was revving up when you buy the S III thoughts we're not going to be able to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/541">TS</a>]

00:09:10   hold a secure online election not even not even close so I won't even try and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/550">TS</a>]

00:09:16   so I figure that the postcard is just enough friction that people who want to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/556">TS</a>]

00:09:22   mess around with the vote you know what if you're going to try to send us a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/562">TS</a>]

00:09:26   thousand postcards it's a lot more work than trying to just fake vote thousand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/566">TS</a>]

00:09:30   times on a website so this is a vote fraud minimization technique in addition [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/570">TS</a>]

00:09:36   to a totally charming technique I know I really I'm really excited by where the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/576">TS</a>]

00:09:41   postcards gonna come from and what pictures people are going to choose as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/581">TS</a>]

00:09:44   the sort of the face of their postcard I mean that's irrelevant to the election [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/584">TS</a>]

00:09:48   but that's going to be really fun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/588">TS</a>]

00:09:50   that is going to be fun and we have also decided that at some point you and I are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/590">TS</a>]

00:09:56   going to get together in person to actually count up all of the balance now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/596">TS</a>]

00:10:02   gray everyone knows how much you love elections and how interested you are in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/602">TS</a>]

00:10:06   voting theory and things like that I do love a good election to finally holding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/606">TS</a>]

00:10:11   one everyone's gonna wanna know what voting method did mister voting method [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/611">TS</a>]

00:10:18   choose well actually decided that we should probably just use first past the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/618">TS</a>]

00:10:25   post for this election because it's the simplest everyone can understand first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/625">TS</a>]

00:10:31   past the post [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/631">TS</a>]

00:10:32   people just pick your favorite and that's that's all you need to do is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/632">TS</a>]

00:10:36   one simple thing that's it no of course not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/636">TS</a>]

00:10:42   of course not we're doing doing first past the post is not a chance to enforce [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/642">TS</a>]

00:10:46   it is the worst himself for so many reasons I will put a million links in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/646">TS</a>]

00:10:52   the show notes as to why first past the post is awful but know they were there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/652">TS</a>]

00:10:57   were two options there were two options that are the only reasonable options one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/657">TS</a>]

00:11:02   of which is approval voting and the other one is an instant runoff voting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/662">TS</a>]

00:11:07   and I debated its I was judging the merits of simplicity in voting vs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/667">TS</a>]

00:11:13   simplicity and counting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/673">TS</a>]

00:11:15   versus the ability to rank in to order preference as opposed to just expressing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/675">TS</a>]

00:11:20   preference in the end I decided that we're going to do an instance runoff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/680">TS</a>]

00:11:26   vote or as people in the UK will be familiar with it the Alternative Vote so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/686">TS</a>]

00:11:31   what people are going to do when they vote is they will be able to rank their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/691">TS</a>]

00:11:37   favorite flag to their least favorite flag on the ballot that they send in ok [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/697">TS</a>]

00:11:43   so there are gonna be five flags and a chance got a name [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/703">TS</a>]

00:11:49   and we'll be revealing though so so when people go to the back of their postcard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/709">TS</a>]

00:11:54   and and rank these will talk more about that soon do they have to write five [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/714">TS</a>]

00:12:00   names or to the right to the right one name how many names to their out what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/720">TS</a>]

00:12:04   are you asking them to do so this is the beauty of a well-run Alternative Vote [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/724">TS</a>]

00:12:10   unlike some countries that we could mention that require you to write down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/730">TS</a>]

00:12:15   absolutely everything we're going to do it the right way if there's only one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/735">TS</a>]

00:12:20   flag that you like you can just write down number one and that flag name and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/740">TS</a>]

00:12:25   that's it you're done you don't have to do anything else if there are three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/745">TS</a>]

00:12:29   flags that you like you can write down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/749">TS</a>]

00:12:32   number one the flag name then on the next line number to the flag named next [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/752">TS</a>]

00:12:38   line 32 flag name and then you can stop when you don't care anymore you don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/758">TS</a>]

00:12:44   have to keep cranking them if you are some kind of completion is nerd you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/764">TS</a>]

00:12:49   indeed write down the names of all five flags in the order that you like them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/769">TS</a>]

00:12:54   and then you can feel as though you have reached the completion achievement if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/774">TS</a>]

00:13:01   you want to do that that's perfectly fine of course the real nerds will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/781">TS</a>]

00:13:05   recognize that you only need to write down 42 expressed complete preferences [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/785">TS</a>]

00:13:09   but I'll leave that up to the listener about what they want to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/789">TS</a>]

00:13:12   bottom line you rank as many as you like you don't have to rank all of them but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/792">TS</a>]

00:13:18   we do want on the postcard and we're going to reiterate it later and there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/798">TS</a>]

00:13:22   also going to be a link to instructions that you're going to need to take a look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/802">TS</a>]

00:13:25   at it's going to be one flag name on a line so that it is easy for us to count [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/805">TS</a>]

00:13:33   the right number one and then the flag name and then think about it as though [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/813">TS</a>]

00:13:38   you were typing on a computer you going to press return and start another line [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/818">TS</a>]

00:13:42   and right number two and that flag name and so on that is what's going to count [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/822">TS</a>]

00:13:48   as a valid unspoiled vote but link in the show notes that you can go check out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/828">TS</a>]

00:13:55   for the descriptions of how that's going to happen I do have to say great maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/835">TS</a>]

00:13:59   this says a lot about a jobs in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/839">TS</a>]

00:14:01   just the number of people we get exposed to we seem to be spending a lot of time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/841">TS</a>]

00:14:06   thinking and talking about ways to make this idiot proof idiot proof is such a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/846">TS</a>]

00:14:11   harsh way to phrase it that way I'm thinking of it is how can we maximize [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/851">TS</a>]

00:14:17   the number of understandable non spoiled ballots that we receive I have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/857">TS</a>]

00:14:24   definitely learned that it is surprisingly hard to give instructions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/864">TS</a>]

00:14:28   to a group especially as we are right now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/868">TS</a>]

00:14:32   a very large group and have those instructions received in the way that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/872">TS</a>]

00:14:37   you expect as always we have been we have been thinking about the way to make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/877">TS</a>]

00:14:42   this as easy as possible and without a doubt going the postcard method as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/882">TS</a>]

00:14:48   opposed to some of the other things we were thinking about definitely makes it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/888">TS</a>]

00:14:52   a little bit harder we're sacrificing some some ease for the charm of of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/892">TS</a>]

00:14:58   postcards which is one of the reasons why I'm trying to emphasize one name per [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/898">TS</a>]

00:15:04   line and look at the instructions to try to make it as as clear as possible but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/904">TS</a>]

00:15:10   as we were discussing last night we definitely have a little bit more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/910">TS</a>]

00:15:14   sympathy not just for the New Zealand flag commission but also for anyone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/914">TS</a>]

00:15:19   anywhere who has ever tried to run an election because as soon as you start [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/919">TS</a>]

00:15:25   thinking about what could people do to possibly mess this up you realize people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/925">TS</a>]

00:15:31   will always be able to think of things that did not occur to you that will mess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/931">TS</a>]

00:15:34   it up it's amazing isn't it and I'm sure we'll talk about a short sorts of things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/934">TS</a>]

00:15:39   like we've been thinking about that the names of the flags making making sure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/939">TS</a>]

00:15:42   they're sort of fair and dummy proof and almost any topic we think of straight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/942">TS</a>]

00:15:49   away like hang on people are gonna mess this up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/949">TS</a>]

00:15:53   paper this is gonna not work for how many different versions of the names of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/953">TS</a>]

00:15:57   the various flags do you think we have been through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/957">TS</a>]

00:15:59   pretty pretty sad so the shortlisting process here this has happened has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/959">TS</a>]

00:16:09   rather ad hoc and mostly be done via text messaging it saves but how would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/969">TS</a>]

00:16:14   you say we've come up with this shortlist of 5 I'm not sure that we had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/974">TS</a>]

00:16:17   official criteria but I was I was looking for something going through the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/977">TS</a>]

00:16:23   thread of a flag that I felt somehow expressed hello internet you can look at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/983">TS</a>]

00:16:31   that flag and feel yeah yeah this is hello internet e in its own way that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/991">TS</a>]

00:16:37   my main thing when I was looking through the various designs of trying to pick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/997">TS</a>]

00:16:42   out stuff that matched it would also have to be a flag that was acceptable to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1002">TS</a>]

00:16:47   both you and me which was not always easy to do but this has been a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1007">TS</a>]

00:16:53   surprisingly collaborative process because my list was remarkably short in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1013">TS</a>]

00:16:59   the beginning [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1019">TS</a>]

00:17:00   well actually it was two and then I would say that you you brady you opened [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1020">TS</a>]

00:17:05   my eyes and our in-person meeting to other options that I had just dismissed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1025">TS</a>]

00:17:11   but then I thought no you're right you're right these deserve to be in our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1031">TS</a>]

00:17:16   referendum these are totally valid hello Internet flag options in about an hour [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1036">TS</a>]

00:17:20   ago the list was seven and then we just chopped down to five but we we let a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1040">TS</a>]

00:17:28   couple go with some regret what was he thinking that you thought seven was too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1048">TS</a>]

00:17:31   many you didn't like a couple of them seven was too many because we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1051">TS</a>]

00:17:37   slightly doing this just like the New Zealand flag referendum although we must [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:41   say here in advance that we have chosen are five and we will not negotiate with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1061">TS</a>]

00:17:46   flag designed terrorists who came up with additional flags to try to get on a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1066">TS</a>]

00:17:50   referendum at the last minute what if someone comes up with a really good when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1070">TS</a>]

00:17:54   we have chosen our flags these are going to stick with we went with five we did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1074">TS</a>]

00:18:00   have seven and when I was looking at the list there were two that I did have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:06   slightly uncertain feelings toward I asked you if you had to get rid of two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1086">TS</a>]

00:18:11   which would you pick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1091">TS</a>]

00:18:12   and you pick the same to you that I had on my mind and so I thought ok perfect [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1092">TS</a>]

00:18:15   this reconfirms that is well off those to go now we have five matches New [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1095">TS</a>]

00:18:20   Zealand's perfect we can get on with our flag referendum that great before we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1100">TS</a>]

00:18:25   reveal the five men and talk about them what's a policy going to be in terms of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1105">TS</a>]

00:18:30   expressing a preferences my gut reaction is that we should not express the way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1110">TS</a>]

00:18:39   that we intend to vote I think our personalities are too strong and two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1119">TS</a>]

00:18:45   greats that we could influence the voters too much and the whole reason for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1125">TS</a>]

00:18:51   having a referendum like this is that we also genuinely want to flag that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1131">TS</a>]

00:18:56   greater hello Internet community will also be happy with ya so this isn't just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1136">TS</a>]

00:19:00   about you and me it's about all of us dear listeners and by the way we say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1140">TS</a>]

00:19:05   influence the voters were not necessarily saying that you're gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1145">TS</a>]

00:19:08   vote the one we were in fact the opposite yeah I was gonna say that out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1148">TS</a>]

00:19:13   loud but I'm also aware that entirely out of spite people could decide to vote [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1153">TS</a>]

00:19:17   in a different way so we're going to discuss them we have some thoughts on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1157">TS</a>]

00:19:21   each of the flags but we are not going to express what our ranked preferences [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1161">TS</a>]

00:19:26   are although I will be voting in our own reference yeah and we will be sending a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1166">TS</a>]

00:19:30   postcard to send a postcard that's how you have to do it you have to send a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1170">TS</a>]

00:19:35   postcard to you can't just add it to the pile in your house ok now and also don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1175">TS</a>]

00:19:43   think you know which one we liked by what we say there could be a double [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1183">TS</a>]

00:19:46   bluffing going on here we're both very clever people who now we are so cane for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1186">TS</a>]

00:19:52   this to be done by us that we even going to reveal them and then reveal them on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1192">TS</a>]

00:19:56   the website in a random order yes I believe you in front of you have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1196">TS</a>]

00:20:03   some very loud there we go I have post yes you have a series of marbles one for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1203">TS</a>]

00:20:11   you to the five flags that you are going to drive around on the go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1211">TS</a>]

00:20:15   yes we can all hear Brady and the order that you draw them in is going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1215">TS</a>]

00:20:22   obviously determine the order that we discuss them in now because we didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1222">TS</a>]

00:20:25   want to buy anything and it's also going to determine the order that they appear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1225">TS</a>]

00:20:30   on the website because I have no ability to make them appear in a random order [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1230">TS</a>]

00:20:35   what's the code when someone gets the ballot paper and just takes them in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1235">TS</a>]

00:20:40   order to donkey voters and I don't know this phrase I believe that saddam maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1240">TS</a>]

00:20:46   we should check out this check out to a bit of on the spot research I think if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1246">TS</a>]

00:20:50   there's a ballot paper and someone just walked in the post and does the mall in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1250">TS</a>]

00:20:53   order 12345 just so they can leave the boat and say they voted that's what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1253">TS</a>]

00:20:58   advantage to be on top of the ballot and I think the voters a well-designed if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1258">TS</a>]

00:21:04   like if you're doing it for a government bridges doing our flag referendum here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1264">TS</a>]

00:21:08   but if say you are in charge of a government and you don't have a method [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1268">TS</a>]

00:21:12   to randomize the appearance of the candidate names being at the top of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1272">TS</a>]

00:21:17   list has a surprisingly big advantage to give you a viewer if your local [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1277">TS</a>]

00:21:22   municipal government is running an election and they're just putting the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1282">TS</a>]

00:21:25   names on the end of the list in alphabetical order it is intrinsically a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1285">TS</a>]

00:21:28   biased election obviously that's not gonna happen with us cause we haven't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1288">TS</a>]

00:21:31   got printed out ballot papers they will be appearing on the web site in order [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1291">TS</a>]

00:21:36   but you still need to write stuff down so I'm hoping that our random selection [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1296">TS</a>]

00:21:40   already down a little bit like a great I have selected the first model was the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1300">TS</a>]

00:24:27   design together the club in cause I would describe as a light gray [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1467">TS</a>]

00:24:32   background there is a darker gray central image which is a circle behind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1472">TS</a>]

00:24:41   it going in one direction like crossing each other there is a caveman club going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1481">TS</a>]

00:24:48   in the other direction there are two little robot arms and in the very center [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1488">TS</a>]

00:24:53   of this gray circle there is a white podcast microphone of course there will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1493">TS</a>]

00:25:00   be a picture in the show notes as well because it is almost impossible to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1500">TS</a>]

00:25:02   describe something like this out loud but this is the club in cloth design [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1502">TS</a>]

00:25:08   what are your thoughts on everything I like all of them I really like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1508">TS</a>]

00:25:13   of course I would say it is the most is one of the most sort of logo like it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1513">TS</a>]

00:25:21   like it's not a traditional flag it's not something you would have seen flying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1521">TS</a>]

00:25:26   in the seventeen hundreds that's for sure it has a modern look but that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1526">TS</a>]

00:25:31   nothing wrong with i mean we're a modern podcast we are so there's nothing wrong [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1531">TS</a>]

00:25:37   with expressing that modernity I mean I'm assuming the club the caveman club [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1537">TS</a>]

00:25:42   is supposed to represent me for some reason I think that's fair assessment [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1542">TS</a>]

00:25:45   and the robotic are supposed to represent year I mean I think of same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1545">TS</a>]

00:25:50   story many many submitted designs was the the perceived difference in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1550">TS</a>]

00:25:55   personalities and received you say it as though it's not really receiving a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1555">TS</a>]

00:26:02   difference in their personalities but really we're almost exactly the same yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1562">TS</a>]

00:26:06   so sorry it reflects that really nicely and the way they're crossed his got that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1566">TS</a>]

00:26:12   nice old-fashioned feel and the modern market having the microphone i think is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1572">TS</a>]

00:26:17   a nice touch it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1577">TS</a>]

00:26:18   perhaps better than any other candidate represents that we are a podcast [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1578">TS</a>]

00:26:22   certainly the other flags to my mind don't do that as strongly as this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1582">TS</a>]

00:26:27   microphone image great I think people are gonna pretty quickly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1587">TS</a>]

00:26:34   expect great to be in a lot of these designs because what caused your name is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1594">TS</a>]

00:26:37   great but also it's there it's the color of all our branding on our website and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1597">TS</a>]

00:26:40   our logo and everything so it's official color of her into it is the official [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1600">TS</a>]

00:26:44   color really is the official color of lol yeah even I cannot secretly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1604">TS</a>]

00:26:48   chartreuse or anything so so yeah it's it's it's it's really cold it's really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1608">TS</a>]

00:26:56   cool like 05 I'd be really happy that one it's it's got a lot of really useful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1616">TS</a>]

00:27:02   really useful design what are your thoughts on yeah it's an interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1622">TS</a>]

00:27:06   it's an interesting flag to me something about it captures the feeling of hello [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1626">TS</a>]

00:27:14   internet there's something about the way that it is drawn that is friendly is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1634">TS</a>]

00:27:19   way I would describe it but you are also right in that it is almost logo like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1639">TS</a>]

00:27:26   almost crashed like and of the options that I am looking at before me right now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1646">TS</a>]

00:27:34   because I have all five on my screen at this moment it is probably one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1654">TS</a>]

00:27:38   two least flag looking like flags at a glance might be the way that I would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1658">TS</a>]

00:27:44   think about it so I think it is it is an interesting is interesting choice as it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1664">TS</a>]

00:27:49   goes without saying all of these flags we like and all of these flags we would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1669">TS</a>]

00:27:54   be happy to have as our hello Internet flag we're just discussing the things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1674">TS</a>]

00:27:58   that make the flags unique or that capture our attention about these flags [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1678">TS</a>]

00:28:03   ready for another one another and randomly choosing the next one we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1683">TS</a>]

00:28:13   going to speak about is white cross white cross and this was when we had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1693">TS</a>]

00:28:19   quite a bit of debate about what to name as well but we seem to have settled on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1699">TS</a>]

00:28:23   white cross cuz I just said and that's how we actually had 100% settled on what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1703">TS</a>]

00:28:28   the name should be but you just ran with it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1708">TS</a>]

00:28:31   yeah and there's no fixing that an editing now and what cross was my choice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1711">TS</a>]

00:28:35   so I have abused my position as a mile below their fair enough [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1715">TS</a>]

00:28:40   with great power comes great responsibility that you're happy to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1720">TS</a>]

00:28:44   abuse and that's what is white cross well do you want to describe it because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1724">TS</a>]

00:28:48   we even have a disagreement about how it should be described white cross is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1728">TS</a>]

00:28:53   black flag is very simple just plain black and then it has a white design in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1733">TS</a>]

00:28:59   the middle and that what design could be best described as a cross obviously but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1739">TS</a>]

00:29:06   both sticks of the cross for lack of a better term have sort of seraphs on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1746">TS</a>]

00:29:13   end they look like to capitalize crossed over each other but of course a capital [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1753">TS</a>]

00:29:19   I turned on its side does bear a striking similarity to the letter H so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1759">TS</a>]

00:29:27   think one could easily see an H if that was the way they would chose choosing to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1767">TS</a>]

00:29:32   look at the flag but it's not obvious it's not an obvious hii it would only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1772">TS</a>]

00:29:37   say hii to someone I think he was looking for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1777">TS</a>]

00:29:40   otherwise you just think it was sort of an old fashioned I cross it's definitely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1780">TS</a>]

00:29:45   the most old-fashioned of the designs we have oh yeah without a doubt it's easy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1785">TS</a>]

00:29:49   to miss the age I it does look like a much more old-fashioned d symbol and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1789">TS</a>]

00:29:56   creator of this design muscled pancakes explicitly said that it is designed to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1796">TS</a>]

00:30:02   be Herald directly informed periodically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1802">TS</a>]

00:30:07   character from the field of heraldry from the field of heraldry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1807">TS</a>]

00:30:14   I would go with my use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1814">TS</a>]

00:30:16   it'll just be competent and don't apologize for my mouth was not even able [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1816">TS</a>]

00:30:20   to make sounds good approximate what this word would be stumbled upon it but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1820">TS</a>]

00:30:24   from the from the field of help heraldry is exactly right that that's what it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1824">TS</a>]

00:30:28   looks like I almost like you could see this design on a night shield who was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1828">TS</a>]

00:30:35   about to do some jousting it would not look out of place [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1835">TS</a>]

00:30:38   definitely definitely yeah it's very it's the sort of Game of Thrones [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1838">TS</a>]

00:30:43   what's the risk of womanhood pancake said that they read some more that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1843">TS</a>]

00:30:48   muscle tank acts like their big words don't know it a base the laws of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1848">TS</a>]

00:30:52   tincture and maybe blaze and for any English learners out there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1852">TS</a>]

00:30:58   sable across potent elongated fest wires argent well done they're pretty well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1858">TS</a>]

00:31:04   done thank you I'm sure the players in the field of heraldry will know exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1864">TS</a>]

00:31:10   what this means I won't even have to look at the show notes they will just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1870">TS</a>]

00:31:13   immediately have the image appear in their mind so I mean this obviously is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1873">TS</a>]

00:31:19   little bit New Zealand 80 cuz its black with a white image so in keeping with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1879">TS</a>]

00:31:23   the times it is in keeping with the times but as always you can't think of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1883">TS</a>]

00:31:28   current events when selecting a flag that may last far far into the future [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1888">TS</a>]

00:31:34   far beyond either of us Brady but I think that this is a flag design that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1894">TS</a>]

00:31:40   can definitely stand the test of time and it I think it's also an interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1900">TS</a>]

00:31:45   choice because in some ways it is one of the least hello internet looking flags [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1905">TS</a>]

00:31:52   just at a glance [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1912">TS</a>]

00:31:54   because of the black color and because of the cross in the center but I like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1914">TS</a>]

00:31:59   the subtleties of thi and I think in a flag referendum like this it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1919">TS</a>]

00:32:04   definitely good to have a choice that is more different from the other flags yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1924">TS</a>]

00:32:12   it's interesting in that it doesn't use great as well I wonder will help or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1932">TS</a>]

00:32:17   hinder yeah that's what makes it stand out is that is it does not have a gray [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1937">TS</a>]

00:32:21   background I mean I can imagine the New Zealand committee would have given [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1941">TS</a>]

00:32:25   people two options with this a black one and a great one definitely a black one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1945">TS</a>]

00:32:29   definitely a great one without a doubt that would be in there by the way if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1949">TS</a>]

00:32:33   send in your vote and say I vote for white cross but I want to have a great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1953">TS</a>]

00:32:38   background that is and now vote your vote yes you have spoiled your ballot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1958">TS</a>]

00:32:44   yet say it's the black background or nothing that's what you're getting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1964">TS</a>]

00:32:49   people like a right do you want to pick another flag for speeding I'm loving [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1969">TS</a>]

00:32:56   this I'm loving this pulling pulling these models as my favorite I think you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1976">TS</a>]

00:33:03   just your reveling in the power [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1983">TS</a>]

00:33:06   next is this is one that great and I have decided to co leggy flag [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1986">TS</a>]

00:33:14   I'm not gonna lie flag flag as far as names go is my favorite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/1994">TS</a>]

00:33:21   just think it's funny because something you fly a flag as listener might be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2001">TS</a>]

00:33:26   imagining flag flag is the flag that most looks like a flag no one would ever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2006">TS</a>]

00:33:34   look at this and think Oh what is that thing everyone would know that it is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2014">TS</a>]

00:33:38   flag now it is a bit of a variant on a traditional tricolor flag but here here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2018">TS</a>]

00:33:47   is what the designer has done trick allure of you on a sounder posh tickler [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2027">TS</a>]

00:33:51   is that some people say oh wait a min you just sayin tri-color in a fancy way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2031">TS</a>]

00:33:57   now I don't accept that now I don't know I don't accept that I'm hard as nails [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2037">TS</a>]

00:34:02   and push you hard as nails and you're very posh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2042">TS</a>]

00:34:06   Bipasha some pushes a nice cushion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2046">TS</a>]

00:34:09   look at how does niacin pushes cushions and I hope that one follows you around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2049">TS</a>]

00:34:20   anyone who knows me knows I'm not push all rights the tricolour flag designed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2060">TS</a>]

00:34:29   by THP 44 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2069">TS</a>]

00:34:32   if we're thinking of dividing the flag vertically in half the right half of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2072">TS</a>]

00:34:39   that flag is the traditional hello internet great color now the left half [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2079">TS</a>]

00:34:46   has been vertically divided into again so that there is a black vertical stripe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2086">TS</a>]

00:34:54   and a white vertical stripe that are taking up the other 50% of the flag so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2094">TS</a>]

00:34:59   sad that right away I find most tricolor flags just deathly boring but I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2099">TS</a>]

00:35:05   the little bit of asymmetry here with the vertical tri-color this helps this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2105">TS</a>]

00:35:09   design quite a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2109">TS</a>]

00:35:11   whereas it was a regular tri-color I would just fall asleep simply looking at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2111">TS</a>]

00:35:15   it so I think there's this little design element really helps and where this flag [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2115">TS</a>]

00:35:20   comes from is that the designer is basing this off of the line from hello [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2120">TS</a>]

00:35:25   Internet episode 38 where you finish the show by saying that i speaking is your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2125">TS</a>]

00:35:32   brady and a black-and-white kind of guy and you my friend are gray so that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2132">TS</a>]

00:35:38   the design for this flag say the left hand side the black and white side is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2138">TS</a>]

00:35:44   his may remember the right hand side which is all gray his grave another way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2144">TS</a>]

00:35:50   to describe this would be just to say as we go from left to right the first 25 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2150">TS</a>]

00:35:55   percent is black [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2155">TS</a>]

00:35:56   the second 25% is white and the final 50 percent is great that is not the way I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2156">TS</a>]

00:36:02   would have described it and it's no I know it's not you chose a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2162">TS</a>]

00:36:05   convoluted way described you went from right to left and then you started [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2165">TS</a>]

00:36:08   splitting things into it you would do it also the rubbish I was just doing a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2168">TS</a>]

00:36:12   series of two bisexual but I I like this I like this flag simply because it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2172">TS</a>]

00:36:20   sort it sort of the the two of us but also I think almost everything that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2180">TS</a>]

00:36:25   discuss in this show sometimes one of us is wishy washy and isn't going with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2185">TS</a>]

00:36:30   something and sometimes the other person has a very harsh opinion that they will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2190">TS</a>]

00:36:34   not be budged on so I think there is definitely something hello internet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2194">TS</a>]

00:36:38   about this flag and this design even if it is the most flag of the flags also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2198">TS</a>]

00:36:46   the the white vertical stripe which is sort of going down the middle but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2206">TS</a>]

00:36:51   obviously is a bit off-center does look likely I internet so it also it's it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2211">TS</a>]

00:36:56   sort of looks a little bit like a logo and branding as well so has actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2216">TS</a>]

00:37:03   definitely does next time let's let's pick the fourth of the five sound [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2223">TS</a>]

00:37:13   effects and affects their guys next we are talking about this one is code hii [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2233">TS</a>]

00:37:24   logo in many ways this is the news the existing New Zealand flag of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2244">TS</a>]

00:37:32   referendum it's the one you would have expected established look it's kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2252">TS</a>]

00:37:37   what we are already it's the incumbent if we did have a flag here's how you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2257">TS</a>]

00:37:42   best imagine this flak [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2262">TS</a>]

00:37:44   take a look at your podcast player right now and look at our logo and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2264">TS</a>]

00:37:49   imagine that logo just on a slightly larger field of gravy turns it into a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2269">TS</a>]

00:37:54   rectangle yeah the established logo flag and you're right it is the Contender [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2274">TS</a>]

00:38:01   that everybody already knows it is our logo on a gray background yes I say the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2281">TS</a>]

00:38:07   square of a logo is made a bit smaller so it nestles a bit more nicely inside [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2287">TS</a>]

00:38:12   the gray of the rectangular flag thought I mean obviously you like it cuz we used [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2292">TS</a>]

00:38:18   your the designer of this I you know I never I never once you and everyone to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2298">TS</a>]

00:38:22   bias and election but yes I am the designer of the hello Internet logo and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2302">TS</a>]

00:38:29   I spent a number of hours that I never want to describe trying to get all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2309">TS</a>]

00:38:33   little dots to match up in a way that I found a statically pleasing that also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2313">TS</a>]

00:38:37   matches up with the H in the eye in a way that nobody ever notices are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2317">TS</a>]

00:38:41   comments on it but I know is there and so I appreciate that but yes without a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2321">TS</a>]

00:38:45   doubt I would say that this is this is the New Zealand flag of our referendum [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2325">TS</a>]

00:38:51   is interesting and an early draft of this when we were gonna flag guys put it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2331">TS</a>]

00:38:56   into this referendum you initially had the HRI in the middle of a great leg and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2336">TS</a>]

00:39:02   sort of the dots around the edge of the flag and also said you know it's going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2342">TS</a>]

00:39:05   to be the square and put a centralized it oh yeah this is this is another case [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2345">TS</a>]

00:39:09   of where we we had even in the flag selections we had very many things that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2349">TS</a>]

00:39:15   we were messing around with the other problem that I ran into with flag izing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2355">TS</a>]

00:39:20   the hello Internet logo is of course there is an extraordinarily subtle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2360">TS</a>]

00:39:26   gradient on our actual actual logo and gradients are just verboten on a flag [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2366">TS</a>]

00:39:32   you cannot have a gradient on a flag if we were say ever to print the flags you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2372">TS</a>]

00:39:38   cannot possibly try to print something with a gradient so I had to spend a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2378">TS</a>]

00:39:42   little while trying to pick the exact right color of grades you be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2382">TS</a>]

00:39:47   monotone a background for flag [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2387">TS</a>]

00:39:50   yeah there's a lot involved in this referendum people I know it I know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2390">TS</a>]

00:39:54   sounds because we're so professional and just so smooth like this is just this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2394">TS</a>]

00:39:58   Justin no easy fast work for the two of us everything's going along smooth but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2398">TS</a>]

00:40:03   there was there was much discussion behind the scenes about this stuff so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2403">TS</a>]

00:40:07   the final leg I will I would draw the bow for the sake of completeness and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2407">TS</a>]

00:40:12   sound effects of course you well it can only be one the final one we're going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2412">TS</a>]

00:40:18   talk about has been given the name Nile and Kia mail and hear this one has this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2418">TS</a>]

00:40:27   one has an interesting history because it first appeared on the radar with one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2427">TS</a>]

00:40:32   color scheme and then evolved to another color scheme which is the color scheme [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2432">TS</a>]

00:40:36   it now has in a referendum it is a great flag surprise surprise it has a white [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2436">TS</a>]

00:40:44   design in the middle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2444">TS</a>]

00:40:45   surprise surprise but the design in the middle of this is very reminiscent of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2445">TS</a>]

00:40:51   kind of sort of communist hammer and sickle in some ways at first glance but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2451">TS</a>]

00:40:56   what it is in fact is the the coke or beer made famous by CGP grey zone logo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2456">TS</a>]

00:41:04   that he uses in his own videos and and branding with the flask test you were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2464">TS</a>]

00:41:09   removed and in place of the test tube is a stylized no presumably representing my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2469">TS</a>]

00:41:18   hardness yeah Brady washes cushions yes the couple of times I said how does now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2478">TS</a>]

00:41:27   is for reasons that remain a mystery to me seem to have stuck with me and I come [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2487">TS</a>]

00:41:32   up all the time so the total mystery that you keep bringing up all the time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2492">TS</a>]

00:41:35   to reference yourself whenever you possibly can I don't know why it's lived [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2495">TS</a>]

00:41:39   on the podcast for as long as it has been that way but what people have gone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2499">TS</a>]

00:41:43   with it is beyond me that you know I'm not actually was but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2503">TS</a>]

00:41:47   anyway and this this this gear and no stylization has sort of been rotated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2507">TS</a>]

00:41:54   anti-clockwise by about 45 degrees it's cool look at this is the one that as you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2514">TS</a>]

00:42:03   referenced by far went through the largest number of people modifying the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2523">TS</a>]

00:42:08   design on the reddit I think the two people most responsible for this design [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2528">TS</a>]

00:42:14   are appearing for the second time in our contest here is laws barred chemists and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2534">TS</a>]

00:42:20   then this final coloration was done by will bob 15 but there were definitely a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2540">TS</a>]

00:42:26   bunch of variations on this particular one so this this flag is gone through a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2546">TS</a>]

00:42:31   big evolution and when we were discussing options we think that this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2551">TS</a>]

00:42:37   the best and final evolution of this particular design I think it I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2557">TS</a>]

00:42:43   it's very interesting for the color selection [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2563">TS</a>]

00:42:48   they've they've they've done a kind of light gray on dark grey background in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2568">TS</a>]

00:42:55   way that still that still makes it distinct and I think that the overlay of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2575">TS</a>]

00:43:00   the nail for you and the gear for me has worked out very well on this one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2580">TS</a>]

00:43:04   in some ways I think of this flag as a bit like the opposite of the one that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2584">TS</a>]

00:43:10   started out with the club and claw flag if the club in and cloth flag is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2590">TS</a>]

00:43:16   friendliest of the flags this one on this on the spectrum might be angriest [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2596">TS</a>]

00:43:22   of the flags because it has these very sharp design elements it has the spike [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2602">TS</a>]

00:43:27   email in it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2607">TS</a>]

00:43:29   but there's no denying that this is a cool looking flag yeah it does have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2609">TS</a>]

00:43:33   another dubious honor and this is not to pass the vote because I'm sure over the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2613">TS</a>]

00:43:37   course of the vote other things are going to happen to buy anyway but this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2617">TS</a>]

00:43:41   has the dubious honor of being one of the few flags that has pained [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2621">TS</a>]

00:43:46   unofficially very unofficially printed out and flow and because a fan of as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2626">TS</a>]

00:43:51   code Vasiliki actually printed this onto a piece of paper and took it to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2631">TS</a>]

00:43:56   Royal Society open day and posed for a bunch of pictures with it which I have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2636">TS</a>]

00:44:01   previously posted on my blog I believe so we have seen pictures of this one out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2641">TS</a>]

00:44:06   in the wild but it is by no means our official flag nothing is our official [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2646">TS</a>]

00:44:10   flag until the vote is done right there is no official flag until you dear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2650">TS</a>]

00:44:15   listeners help us select one so there we go is 250 it's looking at the mall next [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2655">TS</a>]

00:44:22   to each other I have to say Brady I'm going to give us a pat on the back for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2662">TS</a>]

00:44:27   selecting such excellent flags yeah I mean I'm looking at them all together on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2667">TS</a>]

00:44:33   my computer and I think they look good as a bunch I think they are good as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2673">TS</a>]

00:44:38   individual options for the flags and I am I'm going to be very curious to see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2678">TS</a>]

00:44:44   how this referendum goes yeah I mean I completely agree with you i think it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2684">TS</a>]

00:44:50   really cool cool list now I know a lot of people are gonna say once we should [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2690">TS</a>]

00:44:55   have chosen to submit more nothing is going to change this list this is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2695">TS</a>]

00:44:58   only one to vote on if you send anything else on your postcards you've wasted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2698">TS</a>]

00:45:02   your ballot it will be shredded it will be shredded [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2702">TS</a>]

00:45:05   but that doesn't mean fixtures ready yet to actually read these things I haven't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2705">TS</a>]

00:45:11   to get you in your place so you could do the shooting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2711">TS</a>]

00:45:15   but you can bring your showed it to my place that's a funny the idea of you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2715">TS</a>]

00:45:23   getting on the train coming all the way here the shredder and let us send you an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2723">TS</a>]

00:45:28   industrial shredder so just to recap we have five you are voting on them by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2728">TS</a>]

00:45:32   their names [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2732">TS</a>]

00:45:33   the details of how to vote including the old important address is on the website [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2733">TS</a>]

00:45:38   so you have to go to the website at read the instructions are clever and devious [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2738">TS</a>]

00:45:43   plan to make sure that we could show people instructions one more time by not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2743">TS</a>]

00:45:49   reaching out the address on the podcast where does and your vote you have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2749">TS</a>]

00:46:01   see the instructions one more time of exactly what we want and exactly what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2761">TS</a>]

00:46:05   makes a valid ballots and also to find the address to actually send a postcard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2765">TS</a>]

00:46:11   do so Brady those who have made it to the end of our little episode on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2771">TS</a>]

00:46:17   flag referendum they want to know what does being an official flag [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2777">TS</a>]

00:46:24   of hello Internet mean how does this affect the world's how does this affect [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2784">TS</a>]

00:46:29   their lives and perhaps you as a person to always trying to create official [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2789">TS</a>]

00:46:36   things for hello Internet you have an answer to have an answer for our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2796">TS</a>]

00:46:39   listeners well I mean I know what it means to you you're just going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2799">TS</a>]

00:46:43   digitally archive it and and recorded as the winner right it might go on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2803">TS</a>]

00:46:49   Wikipedia page as the official flag think it that much more thoughts I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2809">TS</a>]

00:46:57   you know I like a good physical object and I do believe it or not I do have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2817">TS</a>]

00:47:03   contacts in the flag making world no really so I will I have already made a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2823">TS</a>]

00:47:10   few inquiries I've put the wheels in motion and I think I will endeavour to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2830">TS</a>]

00:47:15   fly the hello Internet flag at some point perhaps we could fly over the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2835">TS</a>]

00:47:20   penguin enclosure Bristol Zoo when I do I do I don't know where we would fly I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2840">TS</a>]

00:47:26   sure people will suggest places the internet flag could be flown I'm not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2846">TS</a>]

00:47:30   ruling out the White House some point you don't want to rule out any option [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2850">TS</a>]

00:47:34   straightaway yeah so i mean i'm hopeful that I mean what possible reason could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2854">TS</a>]

00:47:41   they be flying a flag over the white house the White House the podcast at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2861">TS</a>]

00:47:47   that point will be so large it will have so many listeners as visiting will be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2867">TS</a>]

00:47:52   the equivalent of the pope visiting we're basically a defacto nation at that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2872">TS</a>]

00:47:58   point that's why the white house [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2878">TS</a>]

00:48:01   yeah so I believe these flat the winning flag will come into existence it will be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2881">TS</a>]

00:48:07   officially endorsed I don't know what else I don't know what happens when a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2887">TS</a>]

00:48:12   flag is officially appointed like it will be written into the hello Internet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2892">TS</a>]

00:48:16   constitution that we gotta get their constitutions started somewhere I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2896">TS</a>]

00:48:21   they're gonna have to be like rules of use is a legend isn't allowed to touch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2901">TS</a>]

00:48:26   the ground any point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2906">TS</a>]

00:48:28   oh yeah rules for how to fold it into various circumstances before our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2908">TS</a>]

00:48:35   military personnel how they handle it exactly if if the podcast evergreens big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2915">TS</a>]

00:48:41   enough to have its own me for example they would need guidelines for its use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2921">TS</a>]

00:48:46   so so that there is there is much to be done in fact there may even be another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2926">TS</a>]

00:48:51   referendum requires we have weak weak weak and these things that will have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2931">TS</a>]

00:48:57   referendum for the flag and then we'll have another referendum for the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2937">TS</a>]

00:49:00   rules of use of the flags and if you think a referendum is convoluted and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2940">TS</a>]

00:49:05   confusing wait to you see that one yeah that's going to be great so that website [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2945">TS</a>]

00:49:10   address again great for those who want to put in place to vote we not only do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2950">TS</a>]

00:49:14   we want your vote we really want your votes because that's just for fun and we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2954">TS</a>]

00:49:18   want you guys to have helped choose the flag but but we are also really excited [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2958">TS</a>]

00:49:22   about the other side of the post cut to the face side where we were really que [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2962">TS</a>]

00:49:29   no where you send your postcards from as well and we will be looking at that site [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2969">TS</a>]

00:49:32   you know could be hello from the black stump in Adelaide those votes my count [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2972">TS</a>]

00:49:36   double great-looking double double of the come from Adelaide you had a lady [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BgMVIPl3g/2976">TS</a>]
