Speaker 1 0:00
So Jamie, I've been looking to kind of switch up my exercise routine, and I love Zumba, so I decided I was going to go to a class that I'd never been before. No, it was kind of far. So it's like a third week 30 minute commitment, and I had messaged the lady. She said, class is at 630 like, cool. So I get there a couple minutes early, and I see in the window that people are already dancing, and I'm like, fuck.
Speaker 2 0:33
Well, I could have been another class, right?
No. :(
Speaker 1 0:37
Oh, so there's also all these people milling about, and this guy asks me, you know if I know what's going on and when they're gonna be done, because they're supposed to have the room at 630 Oh, and so I'm like, um, I don't know. This is my first time here, so I kind of, like, didn't know what to do, but then I decided to just go into the class late and just join in. Yeah, I mean, I drove for 30 minutes. Want to make the best of it. So then the lady goes outside to talk to the like angry mob,
Unknown Speaker 1:20
and they're staring in with their hate eyes. I
Speaker 1 1:43
and then the way she was teaching class, like I could not fucking follow her. And then I realized, like, I'm not even wearing a sports bra. Oh, no. So I just left.
Unknown Speaker 1:59
Yeah, it was
Speaker 1 2:03
really traumatic. And when I told Gee, he asked me why I didn't leave right away. That was like, I don't I'm trying to make the best of it. This was, like, an hour round trip of driving commitment. I
Speaker 2 2:16
don't want to get in trouble. Or you could have gotten, like, I would have had to get, like, a few treats to make it worth it. You know,
Speaker 1 2:23
I did go to Goodwill and buy some things. So, yes, I did that. But you know, what is the biggest treat of all? Hosting nervous laughter podcasts with you. Welcome everyone you is me, which is my name is Jamie, and my name's Alyssa, yeah, I had a lot of people staring at me really hateful yesterday. Yeah, I'm sorry. Okay, it was
Unknown Speaker 2:51
I wouldn't be able to,
Speaker 2 2:55
yeah, no, I would just have to, like, look down and leave. I wouldn't be able to take it.
Speaker 1 3:00
Yeah, so I was, well, I'm like, dancing there was, like, my floppy boobs because I didn't have the right bra. And then I'm, like, contemplating leaving, but I'm thinking, what if somebody's like, Hey, where are you going? And I was like, You know what to commit. I gotta go. And then talk. I'll just wave. Hey, get your ass back here.
Unknown Speaker 3:27
We're not done with this class.
Speaker 1 3:33
Oh, my God, fluffy titties back
Speaker 2 3:40
here. Oh, god, yeah. Sometimes when I'm out in public, I'm like, Hmm, I thought it was, you know, I like wearing a bigger shirt if I'm not wearing a brawl. And I'm just like, oh, and then your purse, like, will split down the middle. And I'm like, No, oh, my titties.
Speaker 1 4:00
Yeah, that's complicated. Um,
Speaker 2 4:03
and you know what else is complicated? What trying to figure out more information about the guy that supposedly died at the modern night project on session five, I did email the LinkedIn guy like you. So genius brain recommended,
Unknown Speaker 4:21
and genius,
Unknown Speaker 4:24
yeah, and I asked him, I was like,
Unknown Speaker 4:29
just like, genius, brain, floppy, titties, big ass. That's what this
Unknown Speaker 4:36
podcast is all about.
Speaker 2 4:38
Um, so, so, yeah, I you know, like, if you have a name, like, or, you know, any kind of information that would be helpful, then he said he didn't have any more information. So
Speaker 1 4:48
I don't know if he just made it up to sound harder than I guess.
Speaker 2 4:53
So, yeah, I don't know. Maybe he made it up. Maybe he remembered zero information about it. Maybe they. Do have an ax, but there's no name, or I don't know, but I'm just kind of with where my research has brought me. I have concluded that this is false as of now, so
Unknown Speaker 5:13
diagnose. So yep, that's
Speaker 2 5:16
what I'm concluding. I feel like someone's gonna dig it up and be like, You're such a fucking liar. You have no journalistic integrity.
Speaker 1 5:25
No you have all the journalistic integrity. You did open records request. I did. I've had to do those pain in the ass sometimes. Yeah,
Speaker 2 5:34
it is. I yeah, I've done one before, and they were just like, it seemed like I should be able to get that record, but it just seemed like they were just like, we don't want to do that for you. Well,
Speaker 1 5:47
then you're also at the mercy of whoever is digging up the records. I mean, I've done it where I submit a request and then weeks later I don't have anything like, um Yeah. Forget. So I feel like you got yours pretty quick. Yeah, I did, which
Speaker 2 6:05
also kind of scares me, that like maybe they didn't even look into it. But also, it's a city in California, and I feel like some places there might have their staff more together. I don't know. Everyone's
Unknown Speaker 6:19
high, yeah? Maybe
Speaker 2 6:23
Yeah. And for all I know that yeah, they could have seen the year and been like, No, fuck that. Just just deny it. But all I'm just concluding that it is that's a that is a false claim by that one guy on LinkedIn. Well,
Speaker 1 6:36
I speak on behalf of all the listeners when I say I think that we would like to award you this floppy, titty journalism award.
Unknown Speaker 6:46
Oh, wow, it's like a bobblehead.
Unknown Speaker 6:50
It's the highest honor in journalism.
Speaker 2 6:53
Thank you for trying, man. This is like spike awards, and the thing I'm gonna talk about today is just a little bit of drama from the art world. It's kind of, it's like, a little outdated, but it's still fun. And I thought it might be fun to talk about. I thought our listeners might enjoy it, and you, and you, of course.
Speaker 1 7:23
Um, so I call this one man's hate for Anish Kapoor. Um, some awesome, petty art drama. And I'll kind of explain who these artists are as I as I go. Right off the bat, this reminds me of a Facebook group I'm in called, oh, look, another man with an unwashed ass has an opinion.
Speaker 2 7:45
Maybe that's not true, but I think one of these men have a cleaner butthole than the other. So okay, so in 2014 a paint called vertically aligned nanotube array black, or vanta black, was created by the UK's National Physical Laboratory, then manufactured by sorority nano systems. It absorbs 99.965% of visible light, making it the quote, blackest black at the time it was created. So it was made for scientific applications, because I can, you know, does stuff with, like heat and everything. But they also realize that it's cool as fuck for art, because it makes, it makes 3d objects look flat. So like it's cool, I don't, you Well, I, for some reason, I like assume everyone sees these videos. But this is my algorithm, tailor, tailored feed. But, yeah, if you've ever seen, like, a video where it's like, straight on, it's just, like a black square, and then they, like, go to the side, and it's like, I don't know, like a bias someone riding a bicycle. It's like, painted black over like, that's like, what that that is? Oh, um, since it can be used for art like that. It makes stuff look cool. Sell the color to the art market, right? Nope, license it exclusively to the artist, Anish Kapoor, okay, so, yeah, he, like, bought the rights to it, I will say to like, I don't know how expensive it would have been for, like, any artist to just come use it, because I think you have to, you have, like, have to use it in a certain, like, room that's, like, sealed and stuff, because it has, like, all these chemically things and stuff. Because, I mean, it was produced by, like, science people to conduct things with heat and do things with lasers. I don't look into all that. Um, so Anish Kapoor is the guy who made the bean in Chicago, that giant mirror bean, oh, which is actually called Cloud Gate. And he hates it when people call call it the bean. So it's actually so I just find that extra friendly representing by all. Orange. Yeah, I made this giant mirror being no one should call it,
Unknown Speaker 10:06
don't call it a fucking bean. And
Speaker 2 10:09
so it's just even funnier, because there's just a bunch of people that make memes about like the bean and stuff. It's like windex the bean. Paint the bean, black. And then yeah, so he kind of just has a general reputation of just being a rich art asshole and, like, you know what people are like, Oh, that's what's wrong with the art world and things like that. So he's just general asshole reputation. So although I'm not really clear and on, like, all the ins and outs of like, the licensing and rules of this paint. I didn't do my journalistic integrity there.
Unknown Speaker 10:53
My titty is no longer flop.
Speaker 2 10:57
But yeah, I'm just going to report the tea, how it was drunk for this one. So the artist Stewart simple enters the story, so he's outraged. Simple, yeah, that's his name. He's not a mouse
Unknown Speaker 11:16
made up name.
Unknown Speaker 11:18
I mean, it probably is. We have
Speaker 1 11:21
a with a very made up sounding name, which I don't want to say, since it's a customer, but
Unknown Speaker 11:30
I feel like his
Unknown Speaker 11:32
and then Stuart simple,
Unknown Speaker 11:36
it's not a real person.
Speaker 2 11:37
Um, so yeah, he was, he was outraged, along with, like, a bunch of other artists and other people, oh, because
Unknown Speaker 11:45
they wanted to use it, yeah, well, and
Speaker 2 11:47
just to just making a color, like, exclusively for one artist and stuff makes sense, yeah? Because there, there was also an artist a long time ago, like, something Klein, he made some kind of, like, specific shade of blue that was, like, licensed only to him and people, you know, same with same with companies like Tiffany blue, and I'll mention a little bit about Tiffany blue later. Tiffany blue, I think, like Target has their signature red and shit like that. So in response, Stuart developed the brightest pink pigment ever, called the pinkest pink.
Speaker 1 12:27
Um, really original name Stuart, simple. Thank you.
Speaker 2 12:32
Well, if someone's got the blackest black you gotta have, maybe he's being a little sassy. Yeah, so he's okay with his products. I think, I think you'll like him. Yeah, so, so let me just say, I don't know how much of Stuart simple's sassiness and pettiness is justified, but I will say he's not hurting anyone. He's not restricting stuff from people, and it's just really funny. Okay, so, I mean, I don't, I don't have a problem with them. Every once in a while, I'm kind of like, Are you being a little too petty? I'm like, Yeah, whatever. I don't know if that exists. Fine. I'm
Speaker 1 13:10
a petty bitch myself. I will say
Unknown Speaker 13:16
I enjoy some pettiness, but I just,
Speaker 2 13:20
I enjoy watching pettiness, but I just it's hard for me to participate because I'm just like go. So below the Add Cart button, there's a little like note about purchasing terms. It says, by adding this product to your cart, you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor. You are in no way. You are in no way affiliated with Anish Kapoor. Oh, yeah. You are not purchasing this item on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. So the best of your knowledge, information and belief, this paint will not make its way into the hands of Anish Kapoor. So I don't know if, like, at some time in the past, they had like, a dedicated checkbox or any other kind of, like requirements before you checked out, but yeah, that's like, on all of his products, like, pretty much so hell yeah. But Anish got someone to acquire him a jar of the pinkest pink, and he made a post to Instagram with his knitter middle finger coated in the pink pigment. What slipping off the camera with the jar of the pinkest pink in the background. Shut up,
Unknown Speaker 14:33
you fucking
Unknown Speaker 14:40
bean who's not a bean.
Speaker 2 14:42
It's not called beans clone gate. Oh, fucking bean baby bitch,
Unknown Speaker 14:48
triple B, triple B.
Speaker 2 14:52
And so bean baby bitch. He commented on his post, which I was confused why he didn't just make this like the caption, but. Comment Up yours. Hashtag pink.
Unknown Speaker 15:05
I hate this guy. Yep,
Speaker 2 15:06
see, people hate him. He's just easy to hate. This made people even more angry and annoyed. Good. So, yeah, Anish is like this greedy color troll, and Stuart is like a color fairy who's creating pigments and paints without, oh yeah, he doesn't profit off of his
Speaker 1 15:29
pigments. Sorry, I made some of your name. You're cool. He's cool, dude. Yeah.
Speaker 2 15:34
So it's like 20 to 30 bucks for like a pigment or a paint, which, hey, I mean, he, I'll get into some of his other, like, pigments and stuff later, but yeah, he makes, like, cool specialty stuff. So it's like a really good price for that kind of stuff. So in response to Anish, is act of defiance, uh, Stewart created the glitteriest glitter. Created the glitteriest glitter, which wasn't that, yeah, it's beautiful, and it's even, I guess you could say, like, more legit than a lot of the other glittery products that are out there. A lot of that stuff's made with, like, tiny plastics. But he made this with like, tiny pieces of glass. Like, oh, cool. And so that was kind of saying, like, hey, shove your finger in this. Anish, I fucking suck
Unknown Speaker 16:31
it. Oh, my God,
Speaker 2 16:36
yes. Um, so, so, so, yeah, so he made that, and then he also made black 2.0 which is slightly less black than the, you know, that blackest black that I mentioned earlier, but it also offered that same like flattening quality that you know, artists were kind of looking for but it was also a lot safer. It smells like cherries, and it's only $40 to purchase in a Tum, a tumbler user, which I definitely trust with my life, mentioned that, and they further explained, quote Vantablack, is highly toxic, potentially explosive, needs to be applied in a special laboratory and sealed properly, can't be moved across borders. Can reach 300 degrees Celsius if you're not extremely careful, and cost 1000s of dollars. So obviously, there's a lot of advantages to using black 2.0 opposed to that. So of course, both glitteriest glitter and black 2.0 follow the trend of like those buying agreements with like you can't be a niche to poor. So that's across all his products. And you know, it's kind of like a meme with him. And there's even a bag that they were selling, I don't know if it's still for sale, but it was the baggiest bag, and they just changed the quotes. That's like, you know, you cannot buy the baggiest bag if you're Anish Kapoor had that white coat on there. Um, and even the site cookies agreement on their website, culturehouse, hustle.com which is where you can buy these lovely products. And I'll link in the description as well. Is worded to basically be like, you know, Anish Kapoor, like you accept these cookies if you are not Anish Kapoor. And so it's just funny. So what do you what do you think so far? Alyssa,
Speaker 1 18:46
I love Stewart, simple, yes, I definitely want to get some of the glitteriest glitter. Yes, I love glitter. I know it's bad for the planet, so I'm glad to hear that
Speaker 2 18:59
it's glass. Yeah, you just have to be super fucking careful with it. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1 19:04
but don't judge me for liking glitter, because
Unknown Speaker 19:11
I have you whore.
Speaker 1 19:14
It's bad for the environment, but I'm like, I have anxiety about everything I consume and the environment. So glitter is by one thing. Okay,
Speaker 2 19:25
everyone gets a little plastic pass here and there. It's true.
Speaker 1 19:28
We all have our micro or our credit card worth of micro plastic that we eat a week. Yeah, it's gonna do really cool things to people in the future. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 2 19:40
it's in your balls. It really is probably in our boobs too. Yeah, and wasn't there? Was there, like, a specific percentage that they mentioned, or
Speaker 1 19:51
No, I just saw that. It was in semen. Actually, I think it's in like, most bodily fluid, bodily bottle, you know what? I mean? Yeah. The fluids,
Speaker 2 20:01
the fluids of the body. Um, yeah, maybe we'll just, like, give birth to, like, plastic babies Cabbage Patch. I will be mother cabbage one day. Uh,
Speaker 2 20:18
so I guess back to the back to this art drama. So Anish told BuzzFeed that he was planning to sue Stuart, but there's been no such actions that have taken place yet
Speaker 1 20:37
sue him like he's just being sassy.
Speaker 2 20:41
I think a lot of a lot of being bitch boys, being baby bitch boys tend to do this kind of thing. Like, I watch a lot of YouTube drama too, and that's a big thing, because a lot of guys are like, I'm gonna sue you, and then their whole claim is just like, you hurt my feelings. And it's like, bruh, yeah, he's a very bitchy baby. So let's go to 2017 when Anish decided that one of his large studios somewhere in London needed an additional floor, or at least an extended ceiling. This extension would block the light and view of some of the residential houses behind it. So, yeah, obviously residents were not happy about that, and, you know, some other people around the city were not happy. My brain is still computing that. Well, maybe
Speaker 1 21:40
he's not British, but he lives there, so now I'm picturing him with an English accent. He's like, I don't care about your life, mate. I think that was Australian, but I need more
Speaker 2 21:53
room for my flat. Whoa. What accent? I
Unknown Speaker 21:58
don't even know what that was. Jamie just gripped her chest,
Unknown Speaker 22:03
touching my pearls, my titties. What?
Speaker 2 22:12
So those residents started a petition to try to prevent this, and they also contacted Stuart to see if he might just have any, you know, little petty ideas.
Speaker 1 22:26
Do you want to comment on this?
Speaker 2 22:33
But so what he did was created a another pigment
Speaker 1 22:37
or paint.
Speaker 2 22:42
It's a color changing paint called phase. It is a mix of the pinkest pink and super potent purple that he has called haze. So it's phase with a P, pH, phase and a Z, and it's a it reacts to heat, so it like changes between those colors. So it's really looks cool. And the message on the site has the same, you know, Anish can't buy this, but it has an additional note that says, if you've got five minutes, please sign the petition to stop Anish Kapoor from stealing
Unknown Speaker 23:25
my role model.
Unknown Speaker 23:26
Yeah, he's pretty he's doing it man,
Speaker 2 23:30
um, so yeah, please sign to keep to stop Kapoor from stealing the light and colors from his neighbors and so, yeah, this was a little light, really cool, pretty pigment he made for that. It had a link to the petition. I'm not sure how well the petition did, but regardless, the plans wound up getting approved with minor tweaks anyways, despite the pushback from local residents, so they got their shit blocked. Dan so in a lower effort petty slaps, Stuart made a Facebook event in 2018 called Kiss the bean for niches birthday. He encouraged guests to Please wear your pinkest lipstick and kiss the bean if you really want to make some Vaseline with the pinkest pink. And that will work too permanently. Well, I think it would probably wash off. But, um, and then he continues to list, it was just like a huge post with like complaints and articles about just all the like douchey shit that Anusha has done and for the last like little bit, if any listeners, or if. Familiar with the story and I missed anything? Please let me know. Because, like, most of the this information I got was just like a Reddit post that is a bunch of pictures like put together for the timeline, a couple other articles with articles, articles don't really mention everything. So that Reddit post with the huge picture is kind of like a the best reference I have found. Stuart also created a pigment called lit that was a light emitting pigment that just seems to work way better than all the other like glowing pigments out there, like it seems like it seems like after a while a lot of glowing paints and pigments will, like, lose their charge, ability for to make light again. But this one doesn't seem to lose that. So it's pretty sweet, and it's very, very, very fucking bright.
Unknown Speaker 25:59
So this was kind of
Speaker 2 26:03
like a, we shared the blackest now, let's share the light kind of thing. That's cool. So it was kind of like a, you know, let's, let's spread the lights and the, if you are not in each Kapoor notes on this product page was changed so it's worded differently than the other ones. It says, if you are Anish Kapoor, can prove you are associated with Anish Kapoor, or to the best of your knowledge, information and belief, the substance is going to make its way to Anish or its way into the hands of Anish Kapoor, your order will be free. We want you to know how lovely it feels to hashtag share the light.
Unknown Speaker 26:48
Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 26:49
So him, yeah, we kind of, I guess, ended with him playing on his own, like thing. So I
Speaker 1 26:58
love it. So yeah, a wonderful level of petty. Yeah, it's goals, very
Speaker 2 27:04
creatively petty. And it's just, I don't know it's, it's cool to be able to pull your pettiness into fuel acknowledgement for, like, the arts and like, oh, because he also, I don't know if I made a note about it, oh, I guess I didn't, but, yeah, he also has a pigment called tiff blue, which is his, I guess, I don't know how, like, it all works legally and stuff, but it's like, basically Tiffany blue, like A very matte Tiffany blue. Oh, I don't know if he was allowed to do that by making it matte, or if it's maybe just like, like, one teeny, tiny color shade away. So yeah, on the product page, it talks about, you know, like a Tiffany licensing bear color, and being the only ones allowed to use it. And he also has, like, a Klein Blue, which is that blue that I mentioned earlier about the artist. I don't think that Blue's license anymore. I think it was only when he was that guy was alive. This was like in the 60s, or some shit, or earlier 40s, I don't know. But yeah, so he he does cool stuff for art,
Speaker 1 28:23
yeah, and like helping community try to
Unknown Speaker 28:29
not get their view blocked.
Speaker 2 28:31
That's cool. Oh, and I guess I'll also add, just since we're kind of piping them up right now, Stuart also made the gay blood collection.
Unknown Speaker 28:43
Yeah, because
Speaker 2 28:46
in 1983 the the FDA introduced a guideline that basically banned men who have sex with men from donating blood. And so Stuart simple got a bunch of, I guess, blood from gay guys to make this a paint, and they made some shirts with it, and stuff that, you know, said, like, stuff about that, like, you know, like, fuck yeah, Being gay doesn't make your blood bad, or some shit like that. I sorry, I don't have those details.
Unknown Speaker 29:19
That's fucking cool. Like, that's cool. Yeah. I
Speaker 1 29:24
mean, I've worked in blood banks and stuff, and always thought that rule was fucked up, because, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 29:31
you know, you have
Speaker 1 29:34
a gay guy come in that wants to help out and is perfectly polite and nice, and you have to turn him away. And then there's a guy that's like the most man whory, man whore like, you can just tell by looking at him, he's the smell. Yeah, okay, so we're not gonna look at other people. People in their habits, yeah, yeah, okay, it's like,
Speaker 2 30:04
I had sex with a man. What about me? Yeah, it's crazy. Um, so, yeah, so kudos to Stewart simple for doing cool stuff. Um, even if he is super petty about it, we love it. We support it. Um, the only other thing I'm gonna talk about today is just a very tiny art related thing, um, I Oh god, I'm probably gonna pronounce this wrong, even though I looked up a video of how to pronounce it before, um, so I'm calling this uh, gayotaku, and how we fucked it up. Oh, and by we fucked it up, I really just mean two people online that are American. So Whoa, Americans
Unknown Speaker 30:51
fuck things
Speaker 2 30:53
up. But I did also find a lot of American studios ran by Americans that actually do this art very nicely and legit. So just, I know there's a big asterisk there, but let me just have the title. So gayotaku is a beautiful traditional Japanese method of printing fish dating way back to the 1800s gaiyu means fish, which means rubbing. And then I guess, you know, Taku means rubbing or impression. So that makes Kai Taku, so it's kind of just like ink impression. So they'll kind of like, you know, ink the fish. So it gets all kind of like into the scales and stuff. And then they can put the sheet on and kind of press it down, and then they'll have like a really nice detailed, like print, like people do with flowers and shit, I guess. So I found a couple of cringy examples of people that I think just saw that, and they were like, I can do that too.
Speaker 1 32:01
The first thing I thought is guys doing it to their dick, like, I'm gonna take this beautiful art form and just make it disgusting.
Speaker 2 32:13
No, I feel like guys would do that. Because you saying that made me think of a lot of there's like, a lot of women that are doing like period art. And I feel like that would be like, guys being like, Oh, this is my manly stand. And just like, doing like Dick stamps and like, this is what I want to do with my body, which I'll talk about period art in another episode. Hell yeah, I can't wait. I started kind of looking at one artist, but wanted to kind of get more on it. So look, look forward to that in the future. Oh, yeah, but, um, I guess anyway to, uh, swim back on track to the guy who Taku. Um, so there's just two examples that I have that I just think are awful examples of this. I'll show you the video in just a second. But just to explain, it's like, like an 80s, 90s, like infomercial, kind of like craft, kind of looking thing. They're not selling anything. That's just kind of like what it looks like. And the lady is doing like an art show, and she's like, it's summer, so what about something really cool? Yeah. And then she just fucking, like, gets like regular acrylic paint, not like the inking, but the traditional Japanese fish thing is done on she just gets like, acrylic paint, like pink and purple, and just, like, slaps it on, and then she just stamps it on a fish, or she stamps it on a towel, and it looks like shit. Traditional gaitaku, you know, you do the inking, and it has all the details of the scales and all the, I feel like it honors the fish in a better way. So, yeah, that just looks like shit, and she's like, and then you can also toss the fish on the grill after but, yeah, here's the video of that.
Speaker 3 34:14
Well, have I got a catch for you? If you've been fishing for a craft idea, I want you to come along, because I have the perfect catch, I'm going to take this fish and actually make these prints that you see on these towels over here. And are they fun? I'll tell you, it's one of the most fun projects I have ever done. I mean, if you've wanted to have a perfect fish, you just go to the store and buy one. And the nice thing about it is, we're going to use Deco Art paints, and they're non toxic, so if you do it quickly, you put the paints on it, make your print. You then can clean the fish off and take it out on the grill. So you've got to fish to go along with your beach tiles by the pool or out on the beach. Okay, we'll come back over this side with some more kind of mix that in so they mix together. That makes it a lot more fun. Kind of a red enough. Pink. I want the fish's head to be here, so we'll put that right in the middle. Just lay that down, and then you begin pressing. Well, I guess the time has come to open up and see how we were doing. It turned out just great. You can see the eyes. There we go. You're all set with a beach towel. Go ahead and wash this off, take it out and put on the grill, and I'll tell you, you've got a wonderful project that is really unique. And by the way, you could also put this on a t shirt. Have fun with your fish.
Speaker 1 35:33
Have fun with your fish. Wow. Way to take a beautiful art form and fuck it up. Thank
Speaker 2 35:39
you, ma'am, and make it into a it's just a fun summer activity for the family.
Speaker 1 35:46
Here's the shitty towel. It's like, Oh hey, you
Speaker 2 35:50
like your fish. Oh yeah, it tastes great, Dad. Oh, awesome. We also used it to make that ugly ass towel that you're sitting on. Dude
Speaker 1 35:58
growing up, did your mom or any other adults that you know, have, like, decorative towels that you weren't allowed to use?
Speaker 2 36:06
No, really, we didn't have money for that shit. I mean, I
Speaker 1 36:12
don't think that we did. I can't remember, but, yeah, that was, I feel like that was a big thing and the I don't know, maybe I've
Speaker 2 36:22
definitely been to like, I've been like a guest at someone's house that has had decorative towels, but not like, not not in our family tradition of ours.
Speaker 1 36:36
It's a Lin tradition, yeah, but I feel like this would be one of those shitty towels that your mom would yell at you for, don't use a fish towel. It's
Unknown Speaker 36:44
a decorative towel.
Unknown Speaker 36:46
I spent so much time making that
Speaker 1 36:50
it was the most fun activity I've ever done, or whatever she said. Artist.
Speaker 2 36:58
So, yeah, that's one example of it being poorly executed. And then there's this other one. I found it kind of long time ago, and then was only able to find it through a Reddit post again, but it's this guy that's like, I wanted to do something different in my bathroom, so I thought I could make, like a beautiful like fish stenciling on the ceiling, and use real fish. And I don't know if he saw this art form and was like trying to mimic it, or if he saw the towel thing, you know. But yeah, I'll show you the video for that. And it is very ugly, in my opinion, some people like it, but here you go. So
Speaker 4 37:45
today, I painted my bathroom ceiling using real fish as paintbrushes. So here it is, before you know, just plain old vanilla ceiling. I knew I wanted something fun, so I got all set up and I got a brandzino, and adored. I painted the brandzino, this Prussian blue, beautiful sesame is on my new step stool. Got a nice even coat. I thanked the fit the fish for giving me its life. And here I am carefully doing the printing. As you can see, you kind of roll it on. Mm, hmm. It was really fun. So yeah, so we got some branzinos going on. I tried to arrange them in this kind of, like naturalistic way, the way fish, it was messy, too, the way fish kind of are in a pond or something. So, yeah, I'm really happy with how it looks with so this is the first the franzino prince. Yeah, love it. And then I did black paint on the door rod, and I just did a few prints of these, like five or six. And here is the final product. So it's not for everyone, but that's what I want. I wanted a unique, weird, playful, fun, lively ceiling for my bathroom. And, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 39:19
beautiful, right?
Speaker 1 39:20
I'm angry. I hated that. It doesn't really look like fish. It doesn't.
Unknown Speaker 39:25
It looks like
Unknown Speaker 39:26
just a strip of paint that
Unknown Speaker 39:29
you didn't
Unknown Speaker 39:31
do properly. Yeah,
Speaker 2 39:33
it does, yeah. It looks like, yeah, you got some type of stamp that just didn't work.
Speaker 1 39:38
Wow, I bet the comments on that were amazing, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 39:43
absolutely roasted. Yeah, of course,
Unknown Speaker 39:46
the
Speaker 2 39:48
Reddit, redditing communities doesn't think it looks great, but I'm sure the Tiktok community was mixed. But yeah. Of it when he's like, I think the fish for giving me its life
Unknown Speaker 40:02
as I died in vain, yeah,
Speaker 2 40:05
as I just use it as a fucking stamp. Awesome. The shittiest
Unknown Speaker 40:09
stamp that's ever been created.
Speaker 2 40:13
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure, okay, let me roll back. I'm pretty sure one of the videos I was watching when I was learning about Guy utaku, one of the women said that it was originally created because Fisher fishermen had to, like, I guess, as, like, a way to prevent them. It's like lying about, like, the sizes of the fish that they caused. Okay, so, so, yeah, they, you know, they were doing the inking and eating the fish and stuff afterwards, not just like slabbing the slabbing the paint on it and sticking it to the ceiling.
Unknown Speaker 40:52
Awful. For some reason I feel like he's a vegan.
Speaker 2 41:00
Yikes. But um, so yeah, that's um. That's all I have today. Is just the Yeah, the Stewart simple, and the guy who Taku ruining, I
Speaker 1 41:13
