of time this year but I got to tell
2:35
you what happened to me yesterday. For a story
2:37
you know. This is my life as life happens.
2:41
I'm not going to say where this happened because I
2:43
have to see these people on the regular. It's
2:46
a thing to do. I'll just say
2:48
it's parents of parents
2:52
of other kids at my kids school and stuff like that. You
2:54
know what I mean? So I was at a stuff.
2:57
It was at me kids baseball. All
2:59
right. Me kids baseball the other day.
3:02
And I had a hemorrhoid that's popped.
3:05
Right. What does that mean? It
3:07
means it was bleeding profusely. But
3:09
I thought I thought
3:12
I'd gotten it earlier that day. Right. Yeah.
3:14
Now you know when you shit yourself. Yeah.
3:16
Right. There's a smell involved. Right.
3:18
So even if you don't feel
3:20
the shitting of yourself, you can smell
3:23
the shitting of yourself. Yes. And that can work
3:25
as a survival technique in its own way. I
3:28
have to get home and clean the shit off
3:30
myself. Well I
3:32
did not know this but I had
3:34
a hemorrhoid that had popped that had
3:36
seeped through my pants. You wrote to
3:38
me I had a hemorrhoid popping
3:41
blood all over my pants at Hank's baseball practice.
3:43
I go was it was
3:45
it showing? And you go you tell me. Show
3:47
the picture. No the public can't see. It
3:52
was a gunshot wound. Yeah. Inside
3:54
the bed. It looks like I
3:56
committed suicide by putting a shotgun up my ass.
4:00
the pants though, is it that bad
4:02
outside? It had to go through underwear,
4:04
the underwear was in a real state.
4:11
And you didn't feel like, oh you were just a bit
4:13
swampy down there? I wasn't feeling
4:16
it, I knew that my hammer... The
4:18
next thing you wrote, I feel great now
4:21
because it's gone but you saw it. There's
4:23
inside, there's outside. Oh jeez, I think I
4:25
got three partner at the outside. There's outside,
4:28
yeah, outside's no good. Hey, don't move on,
4:30
the screen's on it for a second, I'll take the screen shots.
4:33
Pixelated. And
4:35
I was like, you don't know if anyone saw it. They
4:38
must've. But the brother thought you'd catch up with something.
4:40
No one said, yeah, that's my out. My out is
4:42
I sat in something because it was red and I
4:44
was like... I came home and the wife was cooking
4:47
dinner and I came home like this, my son doesn't
4:49
know either because I didn't tell him, I was just
4:51
like this. I had
4:53
a bad hemorrhoid today, how bad was it? I had
4:56
turned around and she was like, oh my God, get
4:58
upstairs quickly, you have a shower, and I was like,
5:00
oh. Were you not lightheaded? It
5:02
looks like so much blood. I like so much
5:04
blood. I'm
5:07
not allowed to give blood because I'm anemic. I go in
5:09
there and they don't let me. Wow.
5:12
They don't let me. Also, there used to be a question
5:14
back in the day, have you ever seen
5:16
an escort, you had to tickle the different boxes whether you
5:18
could give it out or not? I did an
5:20
escort. Yeah, I was like this, I can't give blood. Sorry,
5:23
rest of the world. I
5:26
think they're a bit more lax with it now because they
5:29
can test the blood. Back in the 90s with the worrying
5:31
about the AIDS and that type of stuff, that
5:33
was on the list of shit. I
5:36
remember trying to give blood in the 90s and I
5:38
was like, can't give it away, anemic. What
5:41
are you doing with these pants? I washed them,
5:43
they came out great. Yeah, threw them straight
5:46
in the machine, they fixed. That would be like an ad for
5:48
hide or something. I was just there, I put them up for
5:50
auction. These
5:52
things here look like I sat on a murder. It
5:55
was unbelievable. And now I'm
5:57
completely better, I had no problems with hemorrhoids.
6:00
One swelled up and then I had a bad poo and
6:02
then it was dripping a bit and then... Because
6:04
you gotta understand, Zabariko's vein, it's
6:06
a vein that's busted, right? It's
6:09
squirting fucking blood. It's squirting
6:11
blood, right? It was an episode that everyone tuned
6:13
out of. Yeah, and I
6:15
thought I'd fixed it. I thought I'd
6:18
pushed it back up. If I
6:20
knew it was gonna be like this, I would've put a fucking... Did
6:24
you stand up a lot at the game? Give a rally on
6:26
the drums! It was training.
6:28
I was helping collect balls. If
6:33
I just sat in the stand, I would've gotten away
6:35
with it. But I'm out there going, there you go
6:38
lads. I'm not
6:40
very... This is in front of kids. I'm not
6:42
very coordinated. Some
6:45
of the dads are there with gloves and stuff and trying to
6:47
help out and stuff like that. I try
6:49
to make myself busy. I collect a few balls and put them in the
6:51
buckets and stuff. I
6:53
do things like that. I do a bit
6:55
of low maintenance work around the place. All
6:57
whilst having a fucking Japanese flag on my
7:00
fucking asshole. That's more than
7:02
a Japanese flag. It's three parts. It
7:04
was the Japanese flag when they opened
7:06
up the flag for the World Series
7:09
final. Anyway,
7:13
let's see. Before
7:15
we go, April 24th, 26th, Factory Theatre, Sydney. I'll
7:17
be there. Please buy tickets. Sydney,
7:20
Australia. Jack, we recorded this bit
7:22
after the first bit. You'll
7:25
now know why I'm referencing. Let's
7:29
just say that what I did was not
7:32
what this next subject is. Now
7:36
let's meet our guest, Jason Tatinger. G'day
7:38
Jason. Thank you for being on the
7:40
podcast. But more importantly, now it's time
7:43
to play... Yes, no.
7:45
Yes, no. Yes, no.
7:47
Yes, no. Now,
7:49
Jason, I'm looking at you. You've got
7:51
art behind you. It's
7:55
art of wildlife. We've got elephants. We've got birds. We've
7:57
got a skull there with things. We've got paint. brushes.
8:00
We've got a soundproof booth which
8:02
means you probably do something. I'm going to say
8:05
it's the life and times of Bob Ross, am
8:08
I correct? I
8:10
wish. Is
8:12
it art related? Yes
8:16
but not in the present. Is
8:18
it the history of art? That would
8:22
be a long bug. Is
8:26
that a no? History of
8:28
art? That's a no. Okay,
8:31
okay. Is it the difference
8:35
between oil and acrylics? Look
8:38
at you Jim. Well I've got to go further back
8:40
than that. My son's in art so I bought all
8:42
oils and acrylics and stuff. I've gone to acrylics. I
8:44
didn't know that if I had oil paint that my
8:47
skin would be stained for the rest of my life. You
8:50
fucking watch Bob Ross. That cunt's doing it
8:52
in a white shirt just like this and
8:54
mix a bit of the titanium white with
8:57
the blue and over here then
8:59
fix your brush. I
9:01
was doing that in the garage. I look like a
9:03
Jackson polypaint. I'm pretty sure I've got
9:10
some type of cancer from it. Anyway. I
9:13
know that you're really in the Bob Ross now. At some point
9:15
we'll do a Bob Ross. Oh you've got to do Bob Ross.
9:17
It's not Bob Ross. Bob Ross is fantastic. How does he do
9:19
it? It's like watching magic. Is
9:22
it Aboriginal dot
9:24
paintings? What?
9:29
There was going to be a segment originally
9:31
but we narrowed the focus down a little
9:33
bit. Oh. You guessed what it
9:35
was going to be. Is it modern
9:37
art? No.
9:42
Like I said
9:44
it predates the oil
9:46
and acrylic. Is it
9:49
Ruben and Fachix? No.
9:53
Okay. That's what Ruben liked right?
9:55
Ruben like the Rubens? Ruben-esque. Yeah
9:58
it was Pee Wee Herman. Yeah. Ha!
10:00
Ha! I would think... Curvy women!
10:03
Ha! Ha! I would think a
10:05
time period. Oh. Oh.
10:07
Is it the Renaissance? Well, if
10:09
you're gonna say it like that, we're
10:11
gonna stop the podcast right now. Yeah.
10:13
Renaissance. Renaissance? You say Renaissance? I say
10:16
Renaissance. Renaissance. Renaissance. How
10:18
do you say it, Jason? Renaissance or Renaissance? I
10:21
say Renaissance, but, you know, Jim's
10:24
a little... maybe his English is
10:26
a little better than ours. Yeah.
10:28
I probably say it the way
10:30
that the British say it. Yeah,
10:32
they're Renaissance. And the language is
10:34
called English. That's true. Not Australian.
10:36
He's a Renaissance man. Renaissance man.
10:38

12:26
to sticky Always found it weird that I was at
12:28
school. I was stepping in dog shit that Who
12:32
brought the dog to school? Let me tell you
12:34
something funny that happened from our last episode was
12:36
you mentioned that you never step in dog shit anymore It
12:38
was like a curb episode and then literally the next day
12:41
I came over to your house to play pinball I brought
12:43
Arnie and Arnie was running around my yard in your yard
12:45
and then I went talking for a walk and he
12:47
hadn't Pooped and I'm like, oh my god that he pooped
12:49
in Jim's yard And I didn't know that and then I
12:51
thought you're gonna say and then he pooped right after that
12:54
But for a moment if you wouldn't have pooped I
12:56
would have thought there was poop in your yard I would have to go back there.
12:58
You would have stepped in it, you know the rest.
13:00
So here's what we're gonna do I'm gonna ask
13:02
Jim a series of questions about the Renaissance and
13:05
Renaissance art at the end
13:07
of him answering these questions Jason You're gonna grade him
13:09
on his accuracy 0 through 10. Yeah Jackson grade him on
13:11
how confident he is and I'm gonna grade him I
13:13
know hungry. I am Hmm.
13:17
Jack didn't think that was funny. Yeah, I I
13:21
We actually record the first bit before the
13:23
second bit because our guest has been here
13:25
before earlier And so you're gonna record the
13:27
first bit So I'm gonna tell a story
13:29
in the first bit the Jack doesn't know
13:31
yet, but I'm gonna reference it now. Uh-huh
13:33
as a Bit
13:36
of modern art, okay All
13:39
right. So we're gonna add all the scores together
13:41
if you score 21 through 30 year ceiling painting,
13:43
you know old Michelangelo 11 through
13:45
20 canvas. Ah, that was the Sistine Chapel my
13:47
friend. I hope that's a question. I've seen it.
13:50
I was so drunk Wandering
13:55
around just looking at pictures. Where is he?
13:57
Where's the bloke on the roof? You
14:01
must have been a delight for all the people
14:03
that saved all their money to go there. I
14:05
was twenty-one years old, I was fucking blasted walking
14:07
around museums in Italy, drunk at everyone. People that
14:09
were like fifty, like we finally made it, there's
14:12
just some Australian guy and we're like, rah! Yeah,
14:14
this is still a church. Where's the bit where
14:16
was he just extend his fucking finger? He's
14:19
trying to touch God. Who is it, is
14:22
that him or is it Abraham? Who is he just trying to touch God
14:24
there? I don't know. It's Adam.
14:26
It's Adam, right? Extend your finger,
14:29
cunt. What was the Renaissance? The
14:33
Renaissance was a rich and
14:35
fulfilling and bold era of the art world.
14:37
Was it? Yeah, it
14:39
was maybe where we got true imagery
14:42
of Renaissance paintings. Do you want to
14:44
know what years? Sure. That's
14:49
the next question. Is that your answer for what? Yeah,
14:52
the 1800s. 1800s,
14:55
and that's the end of your answer for what
14:57
the Renaissance was? Yeah, man. Define
15:01
a Renaissance man. Ah,
15:03
he's a person that has a little
15:06
bit of je ne sais
15:08
quoi, a little bit of
15:10
Jacques-Coudeau. Jacques-Coudeau. I just say
15:12
things now. It's like I'm on
15:14
the one percent club and people come up to me and ask
15:16
me for one percent questions, so I've made up ones that don't
15:18
have any answers and I walk away. I
15:20
go, if Tuesday is a Monday and
15:23
February is August, what
15:26
is July? And then I
15:28
walk away, leave it with them. Yeah. Is
15:32
that the end of your answer, Define a Renaissance? The answer
15:34
is seven. What
15:36
converging events and technologies helped
15:38
spark the Renaissance? Oh,
15:41
the invention of oil
15:43
paint. Yeah? Yeah, oil paint. Oil
15:45
paint, putting it in. The Renaissance was all
15:48
about art, just so you know. Ah, there
15:50
was other things, mandolin playing. There
15:53
was lots of things. It
15:56
was when Europe was at its peak culturally,
15:58
when it was really doing it. all
16:00
the best stuff it could do. Actually I'm gonna go further back
16:02
than the 1800s. 1700s give it a go. Give
16:05
a rally on the drums. And then so the
16:07
converging events of technologies was oil
16:10
paints, sparked it. Oil paints and
16:12
the first bloke that invented stretching
16:15
canvas. Before it was just like a
16:17
blanket and no one really painted it and then the
16:19
guy goes put wood behind it and stretch it out make
16:21
it a bit, make it taut.
16:23
Okay name five artists that
16:25
for, name the four
16:27
artists that the four ninja turtles are
16:30
named after. What were their
16:32
weapons? Like what did they do?
16:35
Okay so Raphael had size right
16:37
which is like three prongs. No no
16:39
I mean like their weapons and quotes
16:41
like as the Renaissance what did they
16:43
do? Donatello used to stick. No no
16:45
in the Renaissance what did they do?
16:48
Like nunchucks. Were they painters? No painters.
16:50
No no each one. Okay
16:53
okay so Michelangelo. Yeah. Michelangelo
16:57
wrote did the Sistine Chapel, the statue
16:59
of David, other statues that he never
17:01
finished. He was a
17:04
master statue
17:06
maker with marble but also could paint
17:08
like a motherfucker man. Okay. Yeah
17:10
so that was him. He was
17:12
probably Italy's finest of all time.
17:14
And Raphael was. Raphael was a
17:16
painter. He did that painting that
17:18
had that sort of bloke who
17:21
had like a little bit of a goatee. He
17:23
was into the paint Raphael. Donatello.
17:26
Donatello did a Banksy
17:29
style thing with stencils and
17:31
spray paint all around the Sistine
17:33
Chapel. Like if there was a hole in spray paint a
17:35

17:42
Raphael Michelangelo. Leonardo
17:46
da Vinci. What did he
17:49
do in real life? Leonardo da Vinci.
17:51
He painted the Mona Lisa. And
17:54
he also painted things like the
17:56
inventor. Yeah but he's also an
17:58
inventor. He invented. the idea
18:01
of helicopters and stuff
18:03
like that. He was
18:05
a master engineer on top of being a painter.
18:08
And what weapon did he have as a turtle?
18:11
Leonardo. Leonardo was
18:14
swords. Name
18:18

stick. Much better than a stick. Much better than a
18:22
stick. Name
18:24
some Renaissance artists that are not Ninja
18:26
Turtles. Monet. He would have been one.

other artists? Any
18:51
other artists from the Renaissance? It
18:53
was more than four. Yeah, no, it was
18:55
more than four. But I'm trying to think.
18:57
Reuben. Reuben. Reuben. He
19:00
would have been one. He made the sandwich, right? He
19:02
made the sandwich and that's to feed to the
19:05
women to make the paintings. They're fat. Look,
19:15
I'm no water painting. I
19:17
love that saying when someone goes, you're no water painting. I've never
19:20
heard that before. You never heard that saying? No, I use that
19:22
all the time. I like it. I'm gonna... Any
19:25
other artists? You must be a water
19:27
painting, Jack, because I would have said it to you otherwise. I'm gonna
19:29
say Rembrandt. That's
19:32
a good one. Rembrandt. Rembrandt.
19:35
What do you think about that? I'm pretty excited for you.
19:37
Yeah, Rembrandt. Venus, drink,
19:39
smile-o. Okay.
19:43
That's a good one. It's the oldest bit of art in
19:46
the Louvre, which
19:48
is also
19:51
where the Mona Lisa is. painting
20:00
terms mean you ready
20:03

Italy okay scuro
20:12
small little spotty strokes scuro
20:14
small okay what about
20:16
smooth model move model is
20:18
a gay slur from the
20:21
olden days yeah that Michael
20:26
Angela was a smooth model move
20:29
on smooth model yeah
20:31
which means ceiling painter okay
20:33
next question who painted the
20:35
Sistine Chapel Michael Angelou the
20:38
Sistine Chapel is painted with what
20:40
ancient now obscure method tip
20:43
your dick okay
20:46
so Picasso I told you yes
20:48
what's the question yeah I couldn't
20:51
I could do Aboriginal
20:54
dot play the
20:57
Sistine Chapel was painted with what
20:59
ancient now obscure method there's a
21:01
method that Michael Angelou used ancient
21:03
yeah it was all catapult all
21:06
catapult 24-7 it was amazing
21:08
it came out so good how long did it
21:10
take Michael Angela to complete the Sistine Chapel you
21:12
were there you should he started on a Sunday
21:15
and it took him five
21:17
years but he would
21:19
have had a terrible bad back because he was
21:21
always like laying in his back like working under
21:25
a car now we must
21:28
have had some type of what type of paints
21:30
was using would have just been clay would have
21:32
been the method probably Oh clay clap
21:35
clay clay clay clay
21:37
clay what other items did
21:39
Michael Angelou complete like famous well David is his
21:41
most I'll say this Michael Angelou is David
21:43
and I went to Florence and I saw all
21:46
this there's all the different ones but when you
21:48
see the real one even I didn't see his
21:50
palace the other day and they have an
21:52
exact replica and it's very impressive yeah but when
21:54
you see the real one and you figure out
21:57
that that can't did that with a fucking washcloth yeah
21:59
make any mistake and a hammer and
22:01
you can see the veins and his head is
22:03
bigger than his feet because he knew people would
22:05
be watching it at a certain angle and
22:08
I'll tell you stuff. I saw it,
22:10
I watched it and I'm not a big art aficionado
22:12
or anything like that but I went back again. The
22:14
only time I went back the next day I said
22:16
I have to see it again. I
22:20
would like to go take my children to
22:22
see it or something like that. I don't
22:24
know if he also did the
22:28
big fountain in Rome where everyone flips the
22:30
coin over the back tively, fountain not tively.
22:34
You know the one. David and the fountain, anything else? There's
22:37
a whole lot of work that he hadn't completed in
22:39
the same museum as Florence which is amazing. It's
22:42
like Moses but he's coming out of
22:44
the stone. It's like something's coming to
22:46
life out of rock. It's even
22:48
with these ones that were half finished. They were
22:50
amazing. I
22:52
would say the Sistine Chapel and there was another,
22:55
there was a mother Mary, there's a Mary statue
22:57
he did that was a bit of a winner.
22:59
What is Leonardo da Vinci's most famous piece? Leonardo
23:06
da Vinci. Da Vinci was
23:08
the Mona Lisa. Okay, what else?
23:12
What? Okay. The Last Supper. Is
23:15
he the Last Supper? I'm going to say he was the Last
23:17
Supper. Who's the Last Supper? I don't know. I don't know.
23:20
Leonardo's... It's not a wall. That one's
23:22
painted on a fucking wall, man. Leonardo's most famous works, you know
23:24
where it is? That's in
23:26
the Louvre. Okay. Leonardo's most
23:28
famous works were painting. In Paris. What
23:30
else was he known for? Country.
23:33
Leonardo da Vinci was an inventor and
23:35
he invented aircrafts long before
23:37
we had aircrafts and stuff like that. And he
23:39
always... Leonardo da Vinci already did what you do.
23:41
You may have mis sketched them but he did
23:43
something. I don't even sketch mine. Yeah, yeah. Jack
23:46
sent me one the other day. There's like a battery that won't run
23:48
out. Yeah. It's real. It's
23:51
real. It's real. There's
23:53
one now. Who were the top two
23:55
financiers of the Renaissance? I
23:59
would say... the Catholic Church and
24:04
Scientology Catholic
24:06
Church and Scientology Alright
24:08
Columbus sailed to the New World in what year
24:10
and who finances voyage might be related to the
24:12
last question So
24:15
Columbus was Italian we did we did an
24:17
article we did an episode and he was
24:19
selling in in 1672
24:22
who finances wage do you
24:24
remember Gilligan Gilligan? Who
24:27
is considered the most significant what is
24:29
considered the most significant invention of the
24:31
Renaissance? paint
24:35
Oh the paintbrush Before that they would just add
24:37
horses tails and they were going back up and
24:40
they differ when they go Live and then they
24:42
went we should put that bit on a stick
24:44
and just cut this bit off Yeah, and like
24:46
that was like this you change the old ways
24:49
you change the new ways Did
24:52
any artists did any of the artists
24:54
make any money? They
24:56
always say that they never made money within their
24:58
lifetime, but I imagine some of them would have
25:00
made money They would have been people who as
25:02
you said they were they were funded I don't
25:05
believe Michelangelo was living in a fucking
25:07
box now You've got like say van Gogh, right?
25:09
It wasn't part of the Renaissance who's more current
25:11
than that, right? He made nothing they reckon until
25:13
he died But they but but when you scratch
25:16
the surface a bit more about him, it turns
25:18
out that he was a well-acknowledged painter in his
25:20
lifetime It's just that you know, it wasn't a
25:22
shit ton of money that he was making I'm
25:25
a Ken Doon guy Ken
25:27
Doon. I'm gonna put I gotta put Ken Doon
25:30
in the Renaissance. He's still alive He's only in
25:32
his early 80s. If you're listening Ken Hi,
25:35
and if he was a ninja turtle, what would his weapon be?
25:37
Ah Bloody if he
25:39
was a ninja, sir What would Ken Doon's he
25:42
would be the stars ninja stars? Oh, yeah, Ken's
25:44
all about working quick It's black black black and
25:46
he's like color color color color I
25:49
got a story about Ken Doon that when my nephew
25:51
died, I went to his gallery and Just
25:54
I was walking around because I was working in Sydney and
25:56
I went I've been to my nephew's funeral and the next
25:58
day I went to the gallery and I
26:00
saw his paintings that reminded me of my
26:02
childhood and they were all colourful and it
26:05
cheered me up for some reason. Whatever reason
26:07
these paintings spoke to me. Child-like paintings
26:09
and I bought one that day. It cheered
26:13
me up. Art can move you. I
26:15
believe in art. I
26:17
think art is very important. I believe in
26:19
putting money into the arts as well. I
26:22
think that at school I'm as happy when
26:24
my son does well in as good an
26:26
art class as he does in maths. I
26:29
have to be because he's from my gene pool and
26:31
the chances of him doing good at maths or spelling
26:33
is very low. Okay last
26:35
question. What is said to have ended
26:38
the Renaissance? Um...
26:40
Is that meteor? Oh, disco.
26:44
That would have done it. Yeah. Alright. Disco

as a. Fucking Eilish kind of
30:01
you was right, but I ate a hot dog on
30:03
front of there and missed the only show I ever
30:05
missed Yeah, yeah Forrest couldn't get on the stage. I
30:07
tried to get I was it was coming
30:09
out of all ends It
30:11
was a sausage right out front of them bango. Yeah
30:14
We were doing 8,000 people in Amsterdam before I
30:16
couldn't make it to the animals was there luckily
30:18
still but it was when I went I almost
30:20
had some other sausage. I had one and it
30:22
was not good. Not good What wasn't the sausage
30:24
a weird color to you're like I shouldn't eat
30:26
it was I was it was bad You wasn't
30:28
even drunk just eating it at the front of the
30:30
Bangkok Museum. I was like, I'll be right down and
30:32
I'll meet you there I
30:36
only eat sausages out the
30:38
front of the Anne Frank
30:40
Museum better quality Hard
30:44
to define though. All right, I'm not that hungry. So
30:46
you're a cave painting right now What
30:49
was the Renaissance Jim said a rich and fulfilling
30:51
and bold? Bold
30:53
era of the art world where we got true
30:55
imagery. How does that? That's
30:57
what I'm a question. I think that was in
30:59
the 1800s and up 1700s Jason got any so
31:01
he didn't back it up quite enough There but
31:04
as far as the Renaissance goes
31:07
So things moved slower back then they didn't have
31:09
the internet to say hey, we've got this cool
31:12
stuff going on. So it
31:15
there was humanism earlier in the 1300s and 1400s
31:17
and that was an expression
31:22
of that people
31:25
are more than just People
31:28
in the Bible, I guess, you know,
31:31
they have potential to paint to create
31:33
and to do good things and So,
31:37
I mean it was you know
31:39
a good fun time But if you lived
31:41
a hundred miles from Florence, you might not
31:43
have ever heard of Michelangelo or any
31:46
of the Ninja Turtles Yeah,
31:48
that's the thing with everything known it's like it's
31:50
like back then you only lived 20 miles Yeah,
31:54
in it That's a
31:56
good way to put it no internet because we see
31:58
the Renaissance is like well everyone in the world must have been talking
32:00
about it. Oh, they were all going on about it. I mean, I was like, some
32:02
smaller. They were all going on about it. But
32:05
yeah, different cultures doing different style of
32:07
paints. Like the art they
32:09
were doing in Africa was different from the art in Europe, was
32:11
different from the art in South America. But
32:14
art was everywhere. What years would you say it
32:16
was? There's no culture that doesn't give
32:18
it a go. Yeah.
32:21
What years, Jay? So the years have a
32:23
pretty broad range from the 1300s to the 1700s.
32:28
What we're primarily talking about is the high Renaissance
32:30
from 1490 to 1520. So
32:34
it really decreased at that point. And
32:37
there were some other factors that kind of
32:41
brought it to a screeching halt. But
32:43
it only got to Australia in the 1600s. And that's
32:45
why I said that. So yeah, good. Good. And
32:50
how do you define a Renaissance man? Jim says the person
32:52
has a little bit of Genesee Coieux. I'll
32:55
also add to that pocket
32:57
squares. Pocket
33:01
squares? Well,
33:04
they dressed a little bit more flamboyantly
33:06
than pocket squares back then. A
33:09
Renaissance man was very well rounded,
33:11
studying anatomy,
33:14
botany, architecture.
33:17
I mean, Leonardo is kind of
33:20
viewed as the pinnacle of the
33:22
Renaissance man because of his
33:24
journals he painted. So
33:28
he's kind of the poster boy for the Renaissance
33:30
man. And he did the famous, what's it called?
33:32
That guy where he's standing like that and then
33:34
his arms are a little bit like that. It's
33:36
the Vitruvian man. Yeah, where you go. That's the
33:38
human body. What's it called? Vitruvian
33:41
man? Vitruvian man. I know the thing you're talking
33:43
about. I bet you there's a movie called the
33:45
Vitruvian man, right? There's
33:48
a museum here, and I'm sure other
33:50
museums do this, but it's the Getty,
33:52
which is free to go to. They
33:55
have the artwork set up where, As
33:58
you go from room to room, it goes in that crime. The
34:00
logical way you know and when you
34:02
go the initial stuff is on enough.
34:04
Where. You call but as like really not
34:06
real realistic looking up at not really
34:09
nuts, are super religious and you can
34:11
see overtime right when he gets to
34:13
the Renaissance. Otherness Candlelight Years as a
34:15
winner winner They start scientists in paintings
34:17
what you what you is that from
34:19
the beginning I think not only does
34:21
able gonna why know that he really
34:23
days and sends you know and and
34:25
where was the first two I'm that
34:27
was. When. You get into. Three,
34:31
like the pre Raphaelite and
34:34
pre Impressionism arm or during
34:36
impressionism. But like that booger
34:38
Oh was known for painting
34:41
scantily clad women dancing wes
34:43
mythological creatures move out, the
34:46
Greeks were doing skid statues

35:16
it descends that the imagine of oil
35:18
pants and tanks and stressing canvas know
35:20
it's I have a stretcher. I.
35:22
Was out of the if it was it. Other physicists
35:24
have a. So
35:28
the The Renaissance
35:30
really? Was.
35:33
Because. Of the black Death years before.
35:35
a lot of on like if the
35:37
blacksmith down the road died of the
35:39
black death and you survived. Now.
35:42
You had more business so you had more
35:44
money. Ah, I'm. Confident. Constantinople
35:47
ah spell due to war
35:49
and a lot of the
35:51
by. agitation the
35:53
books that bob scholars
35:56
from their came to
35:58
i to italy and
36:01
then rediscovery of the Greek and Roman
36:03
text. So that kind of brought everything
36:05
together. Plus if we think about Marco
36:08
Polo and all the travel that was going on
36:10
around the world, silks, so it was just a,
36:13
it's kind of like think of
36:15
what it was like when, you
36:17
know, the.com thing happened before the.com
36:19
bust or, you know, chat GPT,
36:22
we're in our own Renaissance
36:24
as we speak. Have you been to Greece,
36:26
mate? I have not.
36:28
Okay, they're not taking care of their art very well.
36:30
That's all I'm putting out there. You
36:34
can go up to the Acropolis and all
36:36
that stuff. You can just sit on really
36:38
old things, but no one's stopping you from
36:40
doing nothing. You could take a shit on
36:42
the Acropolis and it wouldn't get cleaned up
36:44
for a month. No, no, no. Like if
36:46
it would. That would be the Acropolis. Some
36:48
local stray cats would scrape over the top
36:50
of it and move on. Yeah, no,
36:52
like those marbles that they have in the British
36:54
Museum that the Greeks want back and the English
36:56
are going, you won't take care of them. I'm
36:58
going with the English on this one. Yeah,
37:01
that's, they got some problems. Remember that place
37:04
we went to, the Poseidon, I think we've
37:06
talked about about, but the Poseidons, we're staying
37:08
across there. The signs are all faded. Buses
37:11
and people coming up there said you're like, what
37:13
does that say? The
37:16
most beautiful setting over the
37:18
GNC. Oh, it's stunning. And they're
37:20
like, ah, we'll get some new signs. They have
37:22
all the natural beauty and architectural things to
37:28
be the greatest location on earth. They can't
37:30
lock it down. They're
37:32
fucking hopeless. They can't do it. They can't
37:35
do it. Name four artists that the four
37:37
Ninja Turtles are named after and their weapons.
37:39
Jim said Raphael Painter did a
37:41
painting of a dude with a goatee, Donatello's
37:43
Banksy type art. Michelangelo, Justine
37:45
Shabel David, and Leonardo painted the Mona
37:47
Lisa invented helicopters. Like, yeah, so Donatello
37:50
did like that famous sketch of the
37:52
Pope, but he was wearing a dress
37:54
on the bottom half. It was like,
37:56
but it was a stencil. You're not seeing that Donatello in lockdown
37:58
as far as what he did, but yeah. Can you? talk a
38:00
little bit about these guys Jason. Yeah
38:03
so Donatello was also a
38:05
sculptor who inspired Michelangelo and he
38:07
also lived most of these artists
38:10
other than Raphael lived to be
38:12
pretty old especially when you consider
38:14
the time Donatello lived to be
38:16
80. He did a
38:19
statue of David that inspired Michelangelo
38:22
or Michelangelo. Leonardo
38:24
he was
38:27
a painter, scientist, and
38:29
inventor and he died at
38:31
the age of 67. Raphael was a
38:33
painter, architect, believe
38:36
you was also a poet and he
38:38
only lived to 37. He got a
38:40
really bad flu or fever and died
38:42
of that and then Michelangelo
38:47
was 88. He was a
38:49
sculptor, painter, and an architect and
38:53
probably the most financially successful and if
38:56
you look at just the volume of
38:58
work he did, he was a machine
39:00
and I heard
39:03
he also was very difficult to work with
39:05
but... This is Michelangelo yes? He probably
39:07
didn't care. Did you say Michelangelo? What was that? Was
39:09
that Michelangelo you were just talking about at the end
39:12
there? Yeah he lived to 88. And
39:15
you said he's a machine. I heard that he only worked
39:17
when God told him to
39:19
work, is that a thing? No
39:22
I don't think so. I mean he did a lot of work
39:24
for the Pope. He
39:27
was very religious but I
39:30
mean he did quite a lot of work. He does
39:32
have a lot of things that aren't finished but he
39:34
did do quite a bit, quite a volume of work.
39:37
And did any of these four lads
39:39
have kids, families, is there ancestors that
39:42
are still claimed to be... No
39:45
none of them were married. Right,
39:47
the arts. Looking good
39:50
for me. Yeah
39:53
I remember reading something that Michelangelo used to sneak
39:56
into or knew somebody in some crypts or something
39:58
and he would... Dissect Bodies however
40:01
is a red blooded the group's now
40:03
and added are you so get it
40:05
like knowing the human body was by.
40:08
It. Is was highly illegal. I don't have this church
40:10
as I member. And. I know why. I
40:12
believe that there was. Because.
40:14
Of the humanism, there was a little bit
40:16
of a. Ah, I'm
40:19
blind. die turn turn
40:21
towards I'd dissection. Ah
40:23
but it was probably
40:25
still like. You know,
40:27
people were probably sneaky around by? Yeah, there
40:29
are. Like. I've.
40:32
Seen people who studied the statues
40:34
of the carvings that is done
40:36
and like if you ah movie
40:38
arrest you can see a little
40:40
bump right here and one your
40:42
hands open it's it's that bomb
40:44
goes away and when you close
40:46
your hand and he actually carved
40:48
that I think on to David
40:50
like that little bump is coming
40:52
out and so he was That
40:54
for size and are a must
40:56
have been famous was in his
40:58
last time right that we didn't
41:00
discover him afterwards. They eat. Did so
41:02
much work for the Axle Church and what I was
41:04
of that he was. he was A or oh yeah
41:06
I was. He was a rock star knees or last
41:08
time robust. You. Know I. I
41:10
think that Rock Star would be the
41:12
a good term to use for artists
41:15
in that period because I mean there
41:17
weren't any sound recordings. In
41:20
other wasn't any amplification and the music
41:22
fried so I mean but obviously you
41:24
know we look at the Greeks and
41:26
they did have theater but it was
41:28
always there and it was always. I
41:30
mean you think about how much of
41:33
a presence God had in the lies
41:35
of everyday people back then? that or
41:37
the church. how are you on a
41:39
phrase. That ah, I'm. So.
41:42
It was like just awe inspiring and that's what
41:45
it was for. Have to show the power of
41:47
God not to show the talent of the app
41:49
artist. God
41:52
that credit. Oh
41:54
god made everything from arm and as
41:57
was like a young lady who was
41:59
when we. We were talking beginning at like
42:01
what is the Renaissance? This is like when things
42:03
are became more realistic too, right? Is
42:05
that? No. Yeah,
42:08
prior to this
42:11
period and we've
42:14
got the chiaroscuro and
42:16
sfumato, a lot of
42:18
stuff looked like if you did a collage
42:20
and you cut characters out of a magazine
42:22
and then taped them on, a
42:25
lot of paintings looked like that
42:27
pre-Renaissance. So they started softening edges,
42:30
doing light and dark and just adding dimension
42:32
and also a lot of
42:36
perspective. The
42:39
Last Supper was a great example of
42:41
perspective. Unfortunately, Leonardo messed
42:44
with different kinds of paints that
42:46
weren't compatible and it
42:48
started crumbling within a few hundred years of it
42:50
being made. And where
42:52
is that? It's on a wall, right? I was
42:54
right about that. It was on a wall? Yeah, it's
42:56
on a wall as well. It's in Milan.
42:59
Because I wanted to go there when we were there.
43:01
That's one reason I know it because I like looked
43:03
up shit to do. We didn't do that? We didn't
43:05
do it. No, no, we were going to do it
43:07
but you need to make a reservation ahead of time.
43:09
You know why? Name drop? Milan?
43:13
Well, we know Jesus. Yeah. The
43:16
reason is that stupid meal, you
43:20
say you're God, organize a party
43:22
but everyone's sitting on one side. Yeah.
43:25
Move around, then Jesus can talk to everyone.
43:27
It was just for the photo. It's like
43:29
he's just sitting in a fucking... Yeah, maybe
43:31
it's just for the photo. But like he's
43:33
sitting at a counter in a fucking diner.
43:36
Jesus can only have conversations with the bloke
43:38
next to him either side. No
43:40
wonder Judas went fuck this cunt. He's right at
43:42
the end. He keeps trying to lean over. Hey,
43:45
what's that famous painting in the diner? And it
43:47
has the... What, the dogs playing poker? No,
43:49
no, no, it's got like... It's a good one. It's gonna
43:51
have like James Dean or no, maybe... Yeah, I know what
43:53
you're talking about. Maybe that's not the way the... I think
43:55
that's the Edward Hopper. The Hopper.
43:58
I believe. Night
44:00
night or hawks are night watch. Some like
44:02
that I sox yeah I'll make it. does
44:04
have. That. The gay and they put. This.
44:07
When I hear him. On. The scene
44:09
that years. The. Name leaflets read that
44:11
he was an internationally for liver disease.
44:13
Yeah just regular t wasn't necessary. did
44:15
it for James The In and other
44:17
different Elvis on are thrown as other
44:19
version by I'm. Where we
44:22
either it's out them for are aware that
44:24
name some other Renaissance hours or not and
44:26
does her said Monet Rubin Rembrandt mean as
44:28
drinks milo. This
44:30
or same I was in. This
44:32
is a Monet I was a
44:35
few hundred years later. He was
44:37
an impressionist. Ah, The.
44:39
During the Renaissance. I mean, we're mainly talking about
44:42
Italy right now, but in Belgium there is I,
44:44
Jan Van Eyes. And
44:46
then in L A there's also
44:48
bought it sally. Ah I'm thrown
44:50
his boss and now the Netherlands
44:52
to send to. There are a
44:54
lot of artists from it all
44:56
around Every it's also a very
44:58
much say i western European focus.
45:01
Bizarre. Yeah lot of different artists
45:04
from of that reason year the
45:06
Eastern Europeans. I wasn't as good
45:08
though. It was a sculptor he does did
45:11
potato and steaks most of us both of
45:13
bursts as a society while it was there
45:15
as was it old is he like gonna
45:17
use mention holland then and we have you
45:19
know as in later on we have been
45:21
guys come from holland and different things were
45:23
in that case so that that the British
45:25
they party or but not really you know
45:28
we not at all anymore thought was a
45:30
turning out anything with the British was it
45:32
was it was a gary. Gary.
45:34
Davis and Sorry got more than
45:36
I do. I raised him and
45:38
he's fucking statues Iraq not try
45:41
to sorry. We got Gary diverse
45:43
and Gary normally fights things that
45:45
ah so what'd Gary paint? The
45:48
Life of Guinness. And
45:51
so the I it was primarily
45:53
as I don't know. On
45:56
the on the British side, i
45:59
am sure if their empire hadn't been
46:02
built up quite to the degree that
46:06
most of this was in Rome later
46:08
to be overturned. There
46:13
wasn't a lot on England as
46:15
far as what was going on, but
46:17
obviously there were art movements as far
46:19
as these people painted them before gestures.
46:21
Yeah, it would be the Normans or
46:23
something. You know what they were
46:26
doing back then in England? They were dancing around
46:28
fucking a pole holding a bit of ribbon where
46:30
they run underneath each other. It was
46:32
a bleak society. They figured out music later, so we'll get
46:34
on that. What I'm saying is it rains a lot there.
46:37
It rains all day. Of course you're going to have
46:40
someone play. You know, when I first moved to England
46:42
in 2001, I did a lot of shows
46:45
in Bristol, and Bristol is where Banksy began.
46:48
I remember getting drunk back from Jester's Comedy
46:50
Club, back to my bed
46:53
and breakfast motel walking
46:55
back. I used to walk past Banksy's
46:57
that were just freshly painted and
47:00
just be like, this guy's got something. A bit of
47:02
fun. A bit of fun, like the two cops kissing
47:04
each other or the guy dangling out of the window.
47:06
Then you'd walk by the next day and they'd be
47:08
painted over. People hadn't
47:11
quite embraced it yet as
47:13
this guy's intelligent. There's my
47:15
interesting story that went nowhere. That
47:18
was good. You ran it up. Well, you know
47:20
what I mean? I remember seeing it before it
47:22
was something. If I had my five over, I
47:24
would have gotten a jackhammer out and taken it.
47:26
Do you think you met Banksy, but you just
47:28
didn't even know? Were
47:30
you Banksy and you were just blacked out? I
47:34
have a friend who
47:37
in some way knows Banksy, but
47:39
that's all I can say. But I have not met
47:41
Banksy. Oh yeah, J.J. Whitehead? No, but I have a
47:43
friend who in some way knows Banksy. What
47:46
do the following painting terms mean? Chiaro.
47:49
Chiaro, chiaro. You said long strokes.
47:52
Long strokes. It doesn't mean.
47:55
So Chiaro and Skiro usually go together,
47:57
so if you think of obscure and
47:59
dark, So, Skiro is
48:01
dark, Chiaro is light.
48:03
So it kind of
48:05
is about modeling and
48:08
not having the features
48:10
be so flat, rounded,
48:12
you know, light and dark,
48:14
giving some dimension to the
48:16
subject. And
48:18
a lot of the subject matter. I mean,
48:20
there weren't a lot of landscape paintings. It
48:22
was all pictures of Jesus and Mary or
48:25
statues. But in the painting world,
48:28
Chiaro Skiro is
48:31
light and dark. And then,
48:33
Spumato is smoky. So
48:36
giving a smoky appearance to say
48:38
the background, instead of having the
48:40
background in focus, it kind of
48:42
takes it out of focus and
48:44
then that makes you focus on
48:48
the main character. All the
48:50
paintings from that era, they all had that same
48:52
light, like candle light sort of effect on the
48:54
face. You know what I mean? And that's when
48:56
everyone looks their best. If you
48:59
ever want to look hot, man, candle lit
49:01
dinner, everyone looks good. Look over at the
49:03
table of candle lit dinner, you're like, everyone looks really nice right now.
49:06
I want to die by candle light. Die?
49:08
It's going to take a long time to die
49:10
by candle light. When you're almost dead, you want
49:12
to play the candle light. Why is he dying
49:14
too much candle light? Ah. Yeah.
49:17
One of those candles, Yankee candles, the
49:19
filament. All right, so you get some
49:22
candles. Okay. Who painted the
49:24
Sistine Chapel? You said Michelangelo. And then the Sistine
49:26
Chapel was painted with what ancient and obscure method?
49:28
You said the tip of your dick, a catapult,
49:31
and then clay paint. Or any of
49:33
those right here. All of them. So
49:36
the clay paint is close
49:38
and is painted with plaster.
49:41
So if you look, being as you guys
49:43
are in Los Angeles, there's stucco everywhere. So
49:46
if you think of, you know, if you've
49:48
ever seen somebody building a house and
49:51
stuccoing the exterior or interior walls, imagine
49:53
putting down that plaster and then painting
49:56
on it while it's still wet. So.
50:00
In addition to being in the dark and
50:02
candle lit, Michelangelo
50:04
was, he built a
50:06
giant scaffolding. You
50:09
can still see the mounting holes
50:11
in the Sistine Chapel. He
50:13
built this giant structure where he could
50:15
stand or lay down and
50:18
he would transfer the drawings onto the wet
50:20
plaster and then paint on it. So it
50:22
was kind of like watercolor
50:25
into it or
50:27
a trowel of colored pigment
50:31
that he was laying down just as if he
50:33
was putting stucco on the building.
50:37
What a pain in the ass. Yeah,
50:40
it's very permanent. It's
50:42
very sturdy, but I
50:45
can't imagine. I mean, and just the
50:47
scale, I was in
50:49
Los Angeles in 2019 at,
50:54
there's in the
50:56
city of Orange, there's the arch
50:59
diocese of Orange building. It's
51:01
a giant chrome building. And
51:03
they had a traveling exhibit
51:06
of life-size copies of
51:10
segments from the Sistine Chapel. And I
51:12
was just amazed at how big those
51:14
things are. And he
51:16
painted them, knowing
51:19
that something was gonna be in a corner or
51:22
in a curve, he painted them to look realistic
51:25
from the viewer's standpoint, but they were
51:27
very kind of a skew
51:30
when he painted them. If you're standing there
51:32
looking at it from 10 feet, it
51:35
didn't look correct, but from the ground it
51:37
does. Oh, well, yeah, see people, I think
51:39
the Sistine Chapel is just the finger touch
51:41
painting. There's only one panel, there's loads and
51:43
loads of panels. Some of
51:45
it's just like a Garfield cartoon. Mondays.
51:49
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Family Circus, Marmadude.
51:51
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then it's that one. And
51:55
one of the biggest fucking books of
51:57
Genesis back or up to... you
52:00
know, God's creation of Adam, God creating
52:02
the planets,
52:04
you know, it was kind of the six days of
52:08
God's life, you know, shaking things up.
52:11
And then how long did it take him, Jim said, he started on a
52:13
Sunday and then it took him five years. I
52:16
gave him a half point for that. I mean, it's
52:18
kind of hard to know. It was four years. There
52:20
was a small break because
52:23
of payments. He was trying
52:26
to get the Pope to pay him. I think the
52:28
Pope was trying to not pay him to get him
52:30
to hurry up. There's
52:32
a not, it's not a very
52:34
good movie, but there is a
52:37
movie starring Chuck Charles Heston as
52:39
Michelangelo called the
52:41
agony and the ecstasy. And
52:44
it goes over the building of or
52:46
the the painting of it and just,
52:48
you know, how Michelangelo was like,
52:50
I'm a sculptor. I'm not a painter. He
52:52
wanted out, but he had to finish it.
52:56
Because of his, his faith, he
52:58
didn't want to disappoint the church. Yeah, I read
53:00
that book by Irving Stone, but I remember anything
53:03
in it. That's why it's the life of Michelangelo.
53:05
I remember a few things, but Martin Heston. I
53:08
thought there was a Steve McQueen one where
53:10
he played an artist or something. I remember.
53:13
I remember something where there's a guy laying
53:15
in the scaffold painting and he looks down
53:17
in some movie. I can't remember. Might have
53:19
been the one with Chuck Heston. Maybe that's around with the
53:21
monkeys. Is it the one with the monkeys? No.
53:25
That must have been the monkeys. That
53:27
movie didn't even have sharp messages. Maybe
53:33
it's the fictional band for the sixties. Good.
53:37
You went there. Okay. What other
53:39
items did Michelangelo complete? He said David and
53:41
the big fountain and Rome question mark. So
53:46
definitely right with David and I was looking
53:48
up David because that
53:52
the marble other sculptors had looked at it and
53:54
they said they wouldn't take it on. And
53:57
so I looked it up that the finished
53:59
piece is. 12,500 pounds. And
54:04
from the quarry, the Carrera marble,
54:07
it had to go 40 miles, so they
54:09
didn't have cars, they didn't have trains, and
54:11
that's 40 miles by modern day road. I
54:13
don't know how they got it down there.
54:17
But he said that the
54:19
carving, that
54:22
David was already in there, he
54:24
just released him from the marble.
54:28
And Jim was right about the head size
54:30
being disproportionate, because they were originally going
54:32
to put it on top of a
54:34
church. But they were just so blown
54:37
away by it that they were like, we can't put it
54:39
up there and let it just get shit on all the
54:41
time. So they made
54:44
replicas of it. And his right
54:46
hand is also bigger, to give it the
54:48
illusion of strength, since he was about ready
54:51
to take on Goliath.
54:54
The other one, I think that Jim was alluded
54:56
to. One
54:59
thing about David quickly, right? So he's holding the
55:01
slingshot on his shoulder, right? And he's
55:03
got his other hand down here. Why
55:05
no pants? You think even back in
55:07
those days, if you're going into battle,
55:09
cover up your dick. I
55:12
think it was probably a bit of an
55:14
homage to the Greek Olympians,
55:17
they competed in the nude. And
55:20
it maybe was a sign that he was
55:22
poor, or
55:25
that he had a minor
55:27
circumcision. All I know
55:29
is that if I was fighting a guy called
55:31
Goliath, I'd keep my dick
55:33
to myself. Yeah. You
55:36
show me yours, I'll show you mine. If
55:38
I'm fighting a guy called Tiny, let's do
55:40
it. What
55:44
else are you saying after the David? The
55:47
other, Jim
55:49
kind of mentioned another sculpture with
55:52
Mary and it's the Pieta. And
55:55
I've never seen this, but I'm just
55:57
fascinated with that he
55:59
completely. it at the age of
56:01
23 and it is just it
56:04
is just a magnificent piece of art and
56:06
I guess
56:09
it's when you were walking
56:11
in the Louvre and you just pull a
56:13
corner and it's there it's not really showcased
56:16
and to me it's like you know this is an
56:19
incredible piece of work especially when you consider
56:21
he was 23 years old. Holy
56:23
cow. Yeah he's gonna look down on that one.
56:25
Sculptures to me are always the most I mean
56:27
it's all impressive but when
56:29
you see a sculpture in person even if it's
56:31
not a famous one and you get up right
56:34
next to and you start looking all these little
56:36
folds of the cloth and the hair. There's one
56:38
sculpture who's that sculpture it's a woman's face
56:40
and it's like nylon or
56:42
silk like like curtain material over the face
56:44
and you can see through it but you
56:46
still like do you know the one I'm
56:49
talking about? There's
56:51
a veil on it. Yeah veil but you
56:53
can see through the but like the stone
56:55
is the veil the stone is the veil
56:57
it's carved through so at the same time.
56:59
I think I have it there. Yeah it's
57:01
something else. Like is that
57:03
it? That's the one that's
57:06
the one where it looks like material. Veiled
57:08
lady. Veiled lady. Veiled
57:10
Tascano maybe? I don't know this is
57:12
like all reaper creations of it. Yeah
57:14
but it's something else man. The
57:17
sculptors know what they're doing. Oh whoa. This
57:20
says the veiled there's a lot of veiled women though
57:22
there's a lot of ones that are like veiled like
57:24
that but so. But you see what I mean the
57:26
marble looks like material. Yeah how they do. Very good
57:28
very good very good because my dot paintings of my
57:30
dick. Let's
57:33
come close. The Veiled Virgin on Wikipedia
57:35
says is a Carrera marble statue carved
57:37
in room by Giovanni
57:39
Strasa. Yeah about him what was he
57:41
up to? Evidently
57:44
carving. What
57:48
was he up to?
57:51
What is Leonardo da Vinci's most famous piece? Is it the
57:54
Mona Lisa? He said the Mona Lisa and then the Last
57:56
Supper. Mona Lisa. I would definitely
57:58
say that I mean there's probably more more copies
58:00
of the Last Supper in old
58:03
ladies' houses, but like my
58:05
mother-in-law has a copy of it. Mona
58:08
Lisa's on phone cases and the
58:10
Last Supper's in dining rooms of
58:12
old Catholic women. My, I wasn't
58:14
married to Kate, but a very
58:17
nice person. Kate, not that I...
58:19
That's got anything to do with being
58:21
married. We love Kate, but Kate's mother,
58:23
who was somewhat my mother-in-law for a
58:25
while, but I had a she
58:28
loved Jesus. She's still
58:30
alive, but she loves a Jesus head
58:33
bust, right? And she had one
58:35
on top of the telly, right? Back when you could put... Remember when
58:37
you used to put things on top of the telly? Yeah. When
58:40
something was really good, when before flat screens, you
58:42
go, I'll put that trophy up there. Yeah.
58:45
You know, I've just gone, you know, go cutting with
58:48
my brothers and I've won. I'll put that on top
58:50
of the telly. So, on top of her telly, she had
58:52
a bust of Jesus. Jesus's
58:57
head with thorns with blood dripping out and he said,
58:59
was like this. And
59:03
she found that to be relaxing in some
59:05
ways. So it was always... That was Catholic.
59:07
Oh yeah. Loved it. Loved
59:10
it. I got her a crucifix. That was
59:12
before a gift one. She was over the moon. That's
59:14
great. When she was leaving her house, she
59:16
had a box of crucifixes. Just one box
59:18
that said crucifixes. Fun. Yeah.
59:21
Couldn't pick it up. It was so hot. Look,
59:24
if someone gets possessed in that family, they've got it
59:26
covered. The car they've got it covered. Leonardo's most famous
59:28
works were paintings, but what else was he known for?
59:30
Jim's said he invented aircrafts. And
59:32
other things, the skateboard. He
59:36
did have a lot of, like a
59:38
parachute type device, a tank, some...
59:43
I can't remember the name of the movie. It was a
59:45
Bruce Willis movie where they had the... Hudson Hawk. Like
59:48
little bat wings for flying. Hudson Hawk. So
59:50
he did have a lot of inventions. Or
59:52
was it die-hoc? It was Hudson Hawk, yeah. Wasn't
59:54
die-hoc for him? Yeah, Hudson Hawk. Yeah. All
59:59
right, thanks. The and where do they get
1:00:01
the you know that as a bit of the
1:00:03
Bruce Willis I was terribly poor. Get them into
1:00:05
I can move on as in they're not as
1:00:07
robust as none of you know. I wasn't as
1:00:09

1:01:41
Gilligan know that that wasn't a tie and on
1:01:43
that I was just gonna throw in that one
1:01:45
and because of. Since. You guys have
1:01:47
done a Columbus Episodes Are you saying about
1:01:50
remain month? With
1:01:52
that you are checking if I remember
1:01:54
one of the Axis and he didn't
1:01:56
miss it. I watch the game show
1:01:58
the other day. this cycle. the floor which
1:02:00
you got to check this show out. Watch it
1:02:02
from the beginning, it's on Hulu. It's Rob Lowe's
1:02:05
hosting it. Rob Lowe hosting TV. It turns out
1:02:07
he's not a very warm fella. It
1:02:09
turns out he's been good looking at his whole life and
1:02:11
just sort of rocks up like this. Okay, so you women
1:02:13
want to have sex with me?
1:02:16
Hi. But this is what...
1:02:18
So all it is is you watch things and you have
1:02:20
a clock on each side. Yeah, in the preview. And they'll
1:02:22
go kitchenware and they'll put up things and you got to
1:02:24
answer quickly as your clock goes down and you think, so
1:02:26
it's literally like this. You feel like a genius as you
1:02:29
do it. You go fork, spoon, spatula,
1:02:31
ladle. Right? Like you're fucking,
1:02:33
you're killing it, right? Anyways,
1:02:35
they were doing these episodes and I had a friend
1:02:38
over, I was telling him about the show and I
1:02:40
was doing the episode again. I'd watched the episode three
1:02:42
hours earlier and I didn't recall any of the... All
1:02:45
the answers I got wrong, I got wrong again. So you
1:02:48
don't remember Columbus? Yeah. No, I remember he
1:02:50
directed the Home Alone movie, is the end.
1:02:54
It was Spain and it
1:02:56
was, I thought it was Portugal, it was Spain. I don't
1:02:58
remember our episodes. The
1:03:02
Spanish funded him to
1:03:04
go to either
1:03:06
the end of the world and disappear forever
1:03:08
or to the new world in
1:03:12
1492. Who was considered the most
1:03:14
significant invention or what is considered the most
1:03:16
significant invention of the Renaissance? Jim said the
1:03:19
paintbrush, for that reason, horse tails. Correct.
1:03:23
So in the
1:03:25
1400s, the Gutenberg press was invented
1:03:27
and there had been
1:03:29
printing presses before that, but the thing
1:03:32
with the Gutenberg press was it was a movable
1:03:34
type press.
1:03:37
So you could set it up to print, I'll
1:03:40
just say the Bible, you can print
1:03:43
page one, a hundred times and then
1:03:45
page two. And so that was probably
1:03:48
not artistically speaking, but the
1:03:50
most significant invention. Artistically speaking,
1:03:53
I would say perspective
1:03:55
and Sfumato
1:03:58
and stuff like. That by
1:04:00
dad the most significant actual invention
1:04:03
was the Gutenberg movable type press.
1:04:05
And then any of the artist
1:04:07
make money on. And. I
1:04:09
said Michelangelo may be dinner. Yeah.
1:04:12
Michelangelo was I. Estimated
1:04:14
era. It's now estimated that Who's
1:04:17
worth about. The. Modern equivalent of
1:04:19
fifty million dollars. So he was a
1:04:21
very much a workaholic to and I
1:04:23
did old. I mean he. I think
1:04:25
he was accepted into a studio when
1:04:27
he was thirteen. He started his formal
1:04:29
training at the age of thirteen. So
1:04:31
I'm and like I said, he did
1:04:34
the Piazza when he was twenty three
1:04:36
years old. So to have that much
1:04:38
talent and skill at twenty three and
1:04:40
to live and tell, I think I
1:04:42
said he was eighty eight had quite
1:04:44
a long. He was tart. He was.
1:04:47
Carving. A statue in his studio when he
1:04:49
dropped dead. Than.
1:04:52
Enjoy money on! What is said
1:04:54
to have ended the Renaissance was
1:04:56
a disco. The
1:04:59
ah yes it was funk and
1:05:01
disco music mass the now it
1:05:03
was the. The
1:05:06
Reformation. Ah. So.
1:05:10
There, there were so many names as I was
1:05:12
looking this up, I'll just it was like. I.
1:05:14
Got lost. So basically the king was
1:05:16
mad that the pope with had a
1:05:18
little too much power and the king
1:05:21
the an hour we think of. Italy.
1:05:23
And in the terms of today are
1:05:25
the boot. But it was just Rome
1:05:28
at the time and then the team
1:05:30
was also the King of Austria and
1:05:32
then later the King of Spain. So.
1:05:34
But basically he got mad that
1:05:36
the Pope had too much power and
1:05:39
and a debt and then also the
1:05:41
Pope. Was getting tired of
1:05:43
you know, people being a little
1:05:45
too. I've. Not. humanistic
1:05:47
cel was kind of though but
1:05:50
other areas of the world that's
1:05:52
where then england and france had
1:05:54
their own with their was mainly
1:05:56
the fall of rome is what
1:05:58
ended the italian renaissance All
1:06:01
right, great. Now is a time apart
1:06:03
of our show called dinner party facts. We
1:06:06
asked our expert to give us a fact something obscure interesting
1:06:08
they can use to impress people about this subject. What do
1:06:10
you got for us? So
1:06:13
I've got a
1:06:15
few but the first
1:06:18
one I'll just say really quick. The only
1:06:21
thing that Michelangelo ever signed was
1:06:23
the pieta and he
1:06:26
overheard some people saying that there was no
1:06:28
way that he could have created that. So
1:06:30
in the middle of the night he grabbed
1:06:33
a chisel and a mallet and
1:06:35
went in and carved on
1:06:37
the on a ribbon across the
1:06:39
the chest of Mary. Michelangelo
1:06:42
Bunerati made this and
1:06:46
later he said he regretted that that
1:06:49
you know active of his ego but
1:06:51
that was the only piece that he
1:06:53
ever signed. So that
1:06:57
was pretty significant I mean
1:06:59
considering that he lived another 50 years. Thank
1:07:02
fuck he wasn't around during the internet. One
1:07:07
person he heard overhearing and oh
1:07:09
no fucking the criticism you
1:07:11
could call that a fucking ceiling you
1:07:14
know what I mean like fuck you know.
1:07:17
And then the other one is that
1:07:21
there's a painting called Salvatore
1:07:23
Mundi and it's the
1:07:25
most expensive painting ever sold and it
1:07:27
was found like 25 30
1:07:30
years ago and it's
1:07:34
partially attributed to Leonardo and nobody's
1:07:37
really 100 sure but it was in
1:07:39
horrible shape it's
1:07:41
more restored than it is real and
1:07:45
it it was bought at basically almost like
1:07:47
a garage sale for 1200 bucks
1:07:49
and then it sold for 10
1:07:51
000 and then it went for 75 million and then
1:07:53
the Saudi prince bought it in 2017 for
1:07:55
450 million dollars.
1:08:00
NFT. That's what it is now.
1:08:02
Can we all agree that the Mona Lisa
1:08:05
is overrated? What's your opinion? Umm...
1:08:09
You know, not seeing it in life,
1:08:12
I can't say. I mean... Oh, I've seen
1:08:14
it in life. It's small. You walk up
1:08:16
there... Everyone's doing the same. No
1:08:18
one's going... When you watch David,
1:08:20
everyone's going, wow. Everyone's going, wow. Everyone in
1:08:22
the room is like, fuck. Everyone
1:08:25
does this in front of the Mona Lisa. Huh.
1:08:28
That's it, huh? Why is it
1:08:30
so famous? I wonder if part of that is,
1:08:32
like I mentioned earlier, the Mona Lisa's on phone
1:08:34
cases. You can't have David
1:08:37
in three dimensions on your phone case. So there's
1:08:39
probably a lot more. And plus, he's 17 feet
1:08:41
tall. So I think
1:08:43
you're right with the scale of it all.
1:08:46
It's just if she was a better looking
1:08:48
bird, you know, maybe that would be time.
1:08:51
It was Marilyn Monroe, ain't it? Yeah, give
1:08:53
me a bit of any wool, any day.
1:08:56
She's no watercolor painting, whatever the phrase
1:08:58
is. She's no watercolor painting. Well,
