And welcome to another episode of Duke I-1, Hello, good evening! And welcome to another episode of Do-Go-One, my name is Dave Warnicky.

How are we feeling tonight? Who's gotten wet out there? Who's ready to get wet in here? Alright, here we go. Well, I have no idea what that means. So I'm going to ask two more people to come and say to me, could you please give it up for Jess Perkins and Max Stewart? Yeah!

Yeah! Woo! You know what that means. You fucking horny dog. You knew exactly what that means. I wasn't listening, what did he say? He said we're all going to get wet inside. Right, stay.

That sounds even worse than what I said. We're all going to get wet inside. Stop saying it. I don't know what that means. Virgin. I don't know. I'm not a virgin. I've said that into a microphone so often lately. It's really weird.

No! Dave, tell him. It's the night to tell him. You're a virgin, let him know. Let him know! No! It's a safe place. You'll be okay with Dave's a virgin. Virgin! Virgin! save the Virgin. That sounds like I'm about to be sacrifice. That's full of them.

No, no, no, that's not interactive. I feel like I need to get that in, really. Well, I was loving where that was. I'm like, yeah, I'll bring where that was. Shut up. I'm like, yeah, I'll bring you with just as like, fuck off. Um, great. How about you? Fill it bitchy.

Yeah. Well, historically, when I come on stage with the iPad, I'm doing the report. That means we have not one but two sass twins in tonight. Yeah. Yeah, the bitch is a bag. but two sass twins in tonight. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yeah, the bitch is a bag. LAUGHTER

You're fucked. Oh, I'm terrified. I'm terrified. They're coming for you, little man. Well... Too much, too much, Bob. Too much. All right, Ryan, it back in. Ryan, it back in.

Yeah, when I said getting wet, I meant crying. LAUGHTER That really is. Just give me a little tap if I go too far. We take it in terms of a report on a topic often suggested by listener, and it is my turn to do the report with the SAS twins, who have no idea what I'm about to talk about. So...

Do you know what he said earlier? No. He said, do you want to know what the topic is tonight? And I was like, what? OK. And then he said, too bad. Oh. That's right. I get it early with the sass twins, yeah.

I'm a bitch. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER A thirsty bitch. LAUGHTER Sorry. All right. Oh, boy.

We always start with a question to get us on the topic. I have a, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Nearly saw it. question for you here and I'll give it to you guys and then if you can't get our throw it over to the audience Some of you may know because you voted for it if you're a patron support some people have but which man Holds the honor of being the only person to have a mustache category named after them at the world beard champion Hit loss God of the Hitler. Locking in Hitler, please.

Yeah. Every, every year, 600 men turn up with Hitler Masters. The local bar looks so fun. It is not Hitler. It is Tom Selik. That, honestly. So honestly is a great mustache. Abraham Lincoln. Mustache free.

Can you describe the stars? Can I describe it? It goes out like this. Oh, the walrus. Is that a person? The walrus. The animal, the walrus, is that a person? That'd be good though. Is it Salvador Dali? It is Salvador Dali! Is it Salvador? Oh, I heard that as well from over there. But I'm delighted. I heard it up here. Also, I read it on his iPad before. I lied, but I was like, nearly totally.

Well, you put us out of it, I appreciate that. This topic has been suggested by two people. Lewis had Jones from Rexham, in tonight. What a noise that was. Pat, Rex and DREAMEN. Coming in from Rex and Good luck in this traffic. And also, vaguely, I, uh, just in case they get a new, Jenny Isaro

from Huntington Station in New York State State who kind of suggested a spin-off topic about a dally related art heist but I hope to do that at a later stage in a bonus episode. We don't have time. We don't have time for your apologies, little cuck. Let's get on with the report. I am holding back to you. We'll get a man of you. You want me to break once tonight?

Did I need to lean in there? That was weird. Sorry about that. I'll get out of here. I'll get out of here. It sounds like to me we've got a perv on stage. Right here. Alright, let me tell you about Selvador Felipe Jacinto Dali-E Dominec. Born on May 11th, 1904 in the Catalonian town of Figueres, just inside the Spanish border with France and the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains.

Beautiful part of the world. Goat country, goat Mountains. Beautiful. Beautiful part of the world. Gold Country. Gold Country. Beautiful. Beautiful. His father, also Salvador Dali, was a well-paid notary hero. Wait, what?

No, one of you became a surrealist. He's his own dad. LAUGHTER Well, what about tell you it gets even weird though? But we'll get to that in a second. His father was a well-paid notary hero, legal documents, and according to the Smithsonian, he was an authoritarian figure in the artist's life. His mother, on the other hand, for Leaper, came from a family that designed and sold decorated

fans, boxes and other art objects. And that's where many people think the artistic street comes from. Yeah, yeah. And his mother greatly encouraged him. She sold boxes, very artistic stuff. Very artistic stuff, yeah. Very inspiring for a child. Well, according to Dali Biographer, Ian Gibson, she was proud of her son's childhood drawings.

She would boast, when he says he'll draw a swan, he draws a swan. When he says he'll do a duck, it's a duck. Big brag there from Mama Darlie. See the melty guy. Are these melty ducks? Melty swans? Is it, am I thinking of the right guy? You think of the right guy?

When he says it's a melty duck, it's melty duck. And this is where it gets weird. He's older brother, also named Selva Dordali. No. He's his own dad and his own brother. I'm tripping balls right now. His brother had died nine months before he was born, so the young artist was often told

that he was the reincarnation of his dead older brother. And he's a alive older father. And he was quite an impressionable little child as many children are. Apparently they took him to his brother's graves, I'd said, you are his reincarnation. So yeah, he became a weird kid. At the age of six, he wrote in his 1942 autobiography, The Secret Life of Salvador Dali. I wanted to be a cook, and at seven, I wanted to be Napoleon.

That's something we all make that transition. If you're going to write a book about it, not much of a secret life anymore, is it? No, keep that secret to yourself, buddy. Okay. Okay, all right, I'll start telling all your secrets in a book. How are you like that? Fuck you. Well, he had some weird secrets. Okay. He also wrote, uh, Uh... That's what...

You're letting that... Two swings, few misses. We never know what's gonna happen up here. I'll keep swinging. Yeah, you'll keep swinging at the audience violently. He also wrote in this secret life, uh the age of five years he encountered an almost dead bat covered with ants and then put it in his mouth, bit it, and then tore the bat almost in half.

So he confessed to some weird shit. That's right, Aussie Osborne was just a poor man, so little darling. Where were the ants, Aussie? So when he tore it all almost in half, what are we talking about, like two thirds? Yeah, I don't. What are we talking? 98%. Ah, hang it on by. That's not thread. That's not nearly half day, that's nearly 100%. Half is 50%. This is a mass nude. You suck. Thanks. You lent him again, I was weird. Yeah, sorry.

Yeah, good night. He was a pretty prolific from a young age. Dali painted one of his earliest known works, Landscape of Fugueres, he's a local town in 1910, when he was six years old. The oil on postcard work depicts a scene in his hometown, and now hangs in the Selv Salvador Dali Museum in Florida. But honestly, if you look at it, it doesn't look like the work of a future superstar. Right.

It's a bit shit. It's a bit shit. Salvador Dali. What was it? The Salvador Dali Museum. Is that his dad's or his brothers? That is his dad's. His parents built him an art studio to encourage him from a young age.

But formally speaking, he wasn't a great student. He was prone to mucking about. And his father made a move to a French speaking school after he failed at his first school. But he wasn't that interested in learning. Instead, he day dreamed in class and already started standing out from the others by wearing eccentric odd clothing and sporting long hair.

Can you believe that? I like it. You know good at school. Go to this other school that talks a different language. That'll fix you up. Okay. I can picture a little salary. Well, maybe he couldn't speak to them with his voice, but he began to embrace his love of public attention by throwing himself downstairs in front of his classmates in the international language. The international like wish. We'll be in through that phase. Sell it all, what's your homework? Well, let me answer your question.

Let me just go to the top of these stairs, dad's your question. His father couldn't tolerate his son's outbursts or eccentricities and punished him severely. He was constantly being kicked out of the family home. There's not many time. As a child. As a a teenager as an adult cool He was also terrified of grasshoppers and other students threw them at him They are weird though. Oh, yeah, I'm not surprisingly he remained scared of them for life. They really scared him

They're the ones that the woman grasshopper eats, the man grasshopper's head after they fuck. Oh, that's right. Praying manches is what I was talking about. That was a good test. Yeah, well done. Ah, well done, grasshopper. That's pretty good.

That's a reference to a thing I don't understand, but, um, thing is from the 80s. So, Rob? Fast forward did a sketch about it before any of them were born, so... That's your only reference in life. I know, I only know things from fast forward full-frontal and the simpsons. It's all parodies. I've never lived a life. LAUGHTER

LAUGHTER Well, let me save you, Matt, by saying tragedy struck when Dali's mother died of cancer when he was 16, which he described as the greatest blur I had experienced in my life. She described that. No, he said that. I thought that was weird. Which still sounds weird.

Dying was honestly really shit for me. It was not good. I would not recommend. His father married his dead wife, sister. And this move put further strain on Dali's relationship with his dad. They did not get along. People did not like.

He found love again. What a hate in the hearts of our audience here tonight. It's just disappointing to me, but maybe someone like you David would appreciate that. Yeah. Team hate over here. So he's not a good student. Always fighting with his dad. But the whole time he obviously had talent,

because he's first public exhibition in his's in his hometown at just 14. And at 17, he was enrolled in the Madrid School of Fine Arts, where he lived on campus and grew his hair even longer and now even rocked sideburns. Oh my god. Can you believe it? What? I can't believe it.

He's crazy. Long hair and sideburns. Even longer hair. That's crazy. It's like he just didn't, didn't kinda just kept growing. That's fucking wild, man. He didn't counter, just kept growing. That's fucking wild, man. He didn't know what to do. It just keeps growing.

And again, formal study was not for him. He was expelled not once but twice. The first time for protesting when artist Daniel Vazquez Diaz was denied a professorship. Allegedly, Salvador was so annoyed that he started a riot on campus. But they allowed him back to... Falling down the stairs. Come with me, guys. allegedly Selvador was so annoyed that he started a riot on campus but they allowed him back falling down the stairs come with me guys that's it he's just pushing people down the stairs that guarded have a really name the Vesca Oh, lovely. Yeah, that is good. I like it. Just say, like, sometimes we're all allowed to agree with each other. Really?

No fuck you. No fuck you. Um, so they didn't come back the next year, despite being expelled. But he was expelled for good when it came to his art history oral examination. I am very sorry, he declared. But I am infinitely more intelligent than these three professors, and I therefore refuse to be examined by them. I just know this subject too well. That is fucking badass.

Oh, they kicked him out. That is awesome. I love that. I do. I mean, he backed it up, he became a legend. Yeah, that's true. It's a main thing. He's more successful than Benz almost certainly.

Yeah. All right, bring it back to the main man, Selvado Dali. I can't remember if I've read this sentence, so let me know. He returned, once again, to his hometown of Figueras and devoted himself intensely to painting. Is that new information? Yeah.

Fantastic. This is after he's been expelled. He then took a life-changing trip to Paris where he visited his hero, Pablo Picasso, fellow-spanied in his studio, and found inspiration in what Cubus was doing. Dali then worked through a number of us. I did make another weird noise. Just warm enough, the pipes. This is your captain speaking. I was on a plane today. He did it.

The captain didn't have a plane today. Oh, the plane. Oh, just landed. Shut up, Dave. We get it. You're worldly. Have you had a COVID test? Where'd you fly from?

Um, Amida. Is that good or bad? So he met up with his old mate, Pablo, and he worked through a number of styles, himself, trying Cubism, futurism, impressionism, but it was the ideas of the surrealist artist and writers like Joan Mirro, René Magritte, Paul Eloir and Max Ernst, that really attracted the young artist. These artists were trying to apply the new soccer analytical theories of Sigmund Freud to painting and writing.

Yeah, Mum's hot. Sorry, a little slip there. You don't have to take every single chance. Sorry, forgot who signed him on there. That was so good. Wasn't the worst of them. Fuck you, Dad. And we're back.

A little, uh, little quiet time for Matt. Yep. The quiet time for both of us maybe. Yeah, I've got a bit of text to get through here. Darling himself was already an avid reader of Segment Freud's Saka-Alenic theories. He knew a Freud's psychedelic theories. He knew Freud's idea is about sexual repression, taking the form of dreams and delusions.

And he, Dali, attempted to recapture these dreams in paint and prose. And according to biography.com, Dali's paintings became associated with three general themes. Number one, man's universe and sensations, two, sexual symbolism, and three, graphic imagery. So he had a bit of a perverse fascination with sex and not to psychoanalyze in myself, but

that can also probably be traced back to his childhood with his dad. In Dali's youth, his father had left out a book with explicit photos of people suffering from advanced untreated venereal diseases to educate the boy. And the photos of grotesquely damaged disease genitalia fascinated and horrified young darling and he continued to associate sex with putrification. Were there, was it like melting dicks? Honestly, yeah.

Wearing wristwatches. Doing the wristwatches. Pupadry the painter style. Oh my god. Are you cracked something there? So, yeah. A barren up. Crocs. So, as well as sexies up here.

I feel there's no better thing to hear from an audience and oh Jesus That makes me feel good. Yeah it feels right. It makes me feel like I should shut the fuck up And I'll I did say I would do that what 30 seconds ago And look how good you did for 30 seconds. Oh I'm gonna. Hey, hey little bud. Hi. Hi, little bud. Like, I know, no. As well as sexes, art frequently depicted Freudian imagery, like staircases, keys, dripping candles,

and a range of personal symbols, like crutches, ants, and grasshoppers that he was still terrified from. In 1929 at the age of 25, he met the most significant person in his life, Eleanor Diaconova, a Russian immigrant 10 years his senior, commonly known as Gala. At this time she was married to Dali's friend, the aforementioned surrealist writer Paul Allewar, although they had an open marriage and they both regularly had affairs, Gala eventually left Allewar for Dali and would become his life partner, muse, business manager, and eventually his

wife in 1934. So quadruple threat there. According to Baurikfi.com, Quart, she helped balance, or one might say counterbalance, the creative forces in Dali's life. With his wild expressions and fantasies, he wasn't capable of dealing with the business side of being an artist. Gala took care of his legal and financial matters and negotiated contracts with dealers and exhibition

promoters. So she sounds great, but his father wasn't happy within hooking out with Gala, and for some of his outlandish behavior, calling him a quote, perverted son on whom you cannot depend for anything, and he permanently banished him from the family homes. Oh, thank you. Oh, for being a perv. Thank you. For being a perv. You get out of your perv.

Just a couple of years away from becoming a multi-million bad move by dad. But Dali and his future wife became inseparable. He even signed his paintings with both of their names. Oh, okay. Something wrong with me, because I went, oh, sorry, did anybody else feel like that? Oh, okay. Ah, something wrong with me, because I went, ugh. Oh. Sorry, did anybody else feel like that? Oh, okay, oh thank God.

I was like, aw, I need help. Aw, I was like, ugh. Gross. He definitely bring it to a wedding even if it didn't have a plus one. Yeah. Exclusively uses whey. Yeah. Oh, I'm not sure of Weffrey. I didn't invite you both.

No, I got a therapy appointment very soon. Joining me, my joint Facebook. Do I only once claim that without Gala, he would would be insane and there's probably no coincidence that after meeting her he's art really took off. The 1930s was his decade. In 1931 he painted what is still probably his most famous painting, the persistence of memory featuring melting clocks and watches and it's been frequently referenced and paraded in culture. That was very good. I was trying not to interrupt, and then I fucking nailed it. For those at home, people are politely applauding Dali's greatest song.

They know a good thing. The persistence of a member here is usually sort of a 250 bucks. Since 1934, it's hung in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. 250, I could buy that. You can lag? Yeah. You have 250 bucks. Well, not on me, but... You could put a bone pain on the hat around, okay?

But you think, Sid, they're thinking, where did you get these wacky ideas? I was during this time that he started to make himself hallucinate. He pioneered what he called the paranoic, critical method, designed to help him access his subconscious. One of the ways he would access this delirious state without drugs or alcohol was to stare at an object and try and see something different within it. Like when you try and see an object in a cloud, but he would just stare at something for like hours.

You know, like when you try and see an object in a cloud, but he would just stare at something for like hours. You know, like when you're trying to see an object in a cloud, like we all do. That's a relatable thing, isn't it? Yes. Fuck you. What? What? Thank you.

What a sound. What did you have? What a sound when you see something in a cloud, but I'm picturing Dave going, I'm gonna see someone in these clouds. I will, I'll do it. Not still nothing on the version. Oh my God, it's just Jess's got a sign right.

Virgin, okay. So basically, he's, he's, he's, he's staring at shit or trying to keep himself in the state between sleep and wakefulness. According to Mental Floss, he would nap with a spoon in his hand and a mixing bowl in his lap. And when he fell asleep, the spoon would fall into the bowl and would wake him up. And he would continue to do this over and over and over and over. Until he became, until he became the only semi-conscious. Just do drugs, yeah fuck!

What are you doing? Just don't get the old school away. Fuckin', take a cap, here we go. Fuck me. Grow up. Grow up. It didn't always go well. Often I would put him into a self-induced paranoid state.

And after emerging from the state, Daly would create quote, hand-painted dream photographs from what he'd witnessed. Hand-painted dream photographs. Wow. Yeah, that's completely, that's completely pleasing. That is confusing, isn't it? I'm absolutely confused by that. Hmm.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. And you're thinking, hang on, is this guy crazy? Well, he addressed that. Stop telling them what they're thinking. Well, I'm trying to answer a question, you're just. He addressed that question, which he often got, which was... Sorry, Jess.

No, it's fine, David. I'm just trying to tell a story that you're right way here You could learn a thing. I'll say man Too much too much I do like this quite often people say are you crazy and he would say the difference between a mad man and me is that I am not mad And it is hard to argue with that. Honestly, it is. Oh, I hate people who answer questions like that.

Is he a yes or no? Your piece of shit. Beautifully said. Thank you so much. Fuck you, Dave. Fuck you, Dave. Thank you. In 1933, he enjoyed solo exhibitions in Paris in New York City and became quote,

surrealism's most exotic and prominent figure. He'd hit the big time baby and in 1936 he was featured on the cover of Time magazine. Whoa. Wow. Oh, the 30s are going great. I bet they'll end it just as well. where they'll end it just as well. LAUGHTER I'm no history buff, but I've got a good feeling about this. I think the early 40s are going to be great. Well, some art critics argued that his colourful personality and antics was overshadowing his art. Oh, no.

For example, biography.com recalls, at the opening of the London surrealist exhibition in 1936, he delivered a lecture titled Authentic Paranoid Ghosts while stressed in a wetsuit carrying a billiard cue and walking a pair of Russian wolf hounds. Okay, now I like it. Before I was like, now I was like, oh, now I'm like, this guy rocks. He's in a wet suit. Yeah. That's sick.

That's bad. Because surf is a hot guy. He's a hot guy. Yeah. He's got two hot dogs. All right. And a bill gives you. He later said that his attire was a depiction of plunging into the depths of the human mind.

You know? That's what I was thinking as well. Yeah, me too. You get it. I get it. That's what I was thinking as well. Yeah, me too. You get it. I get it. That's the cue. Shouldn't pull chuck in the depths of the ocean. Oh, yeah.

So in a wetsuit, Annie is one of the water and is having a go, isn't he? Yep. What were you talking about? There's no wrong answers in heart. Which is what makes it so cool. Sucks. It sucks.

Oh, sorry, the artist in the room in art. Which I include myself. But I guess you're an artist. Oh, okay. You saw my show last but... And it was pretty good. Pretty good. Well done and we're very proud of And it was pretty good. Pretty good. Down and way very proud of you.

But pretty good. Ah, yeah. It was pretty artistic. I got sast. Doesn't feel good. No. How do you put up with this? I cry every now.

Cool. Crying is cool. Yeah, crying is great. The only way versions get wet. I've got really good aim now. That was not the crookest thing that's ever been said on this podcast. You did it. I was fucking tables a few weeks ago. Don't bring out the tables, man.

Look, we got here because he's in a wetsuit. I've got to tell you about that. So he's in a diving... So are you in your pajamas, man? Every suit's a wetsuit in your prime. But he's not as in a wetsuit. He's in a full diving suit. So no one could actually hear his lecture that he was given.

But it was one of those old school diving suits that he'd been bolted in by a mechanic. And in a few minutes in, he started to run out of oxygen. He tried to adjust to the United Health removing the helmet, but the audience took it as part of his performance and just started laughing. The more he gestured, the more they laughed. It's been said he nearly died in the suit until someone

eventually caught and done and freed him. I thought that was going to be the end of the report. I wish that's how he died. That would be amazing. A little insight here. That's our little German friend. Have you ever seen... The only time I've seen import trade on the big screen is in Midnight in Paris.

Have you seen him in that? A famous actor? Adrian Brody, that's right. Man, I love it so much. It's not worth bringing up now, but... The way he says, Arinosos, I love it. I love it, I think about it so much. Arinosos.

Dalí. Arinosos. I love it. I'm eating them. I don't say that. Oh, okay. You don't support the works of that quite bad man, but what's the other word?

Woody Allen. Woody Allen? Regret bringing that up. He knows it all, great film. Great film. Yeah, saved it. He also made, he frequently made controversial statements that landed him hot water, according to this Smithsonian again.

In the mid-1930s, he confessed that he dreamed of Adolf Hitler as a woman whose flesh ravished me. Wait, wait, wait, what? Can you start that again? He dreamt of Adolf Hitler as a as a woman quote his flesh ravaged me. Oh, you've made someone furious. All real horny. All real horny. Oh no. I really hope the mics picked that up.

That was quite a clatter in at the back of the room then. How did that start? What was the sentence before that? He had made controversial statements that often got him in hot water. Although he insisted he rejected Hitlerism, despite such fantasies, the surrealists who allied to the French Communist Party expelled him in 1939, so he was kicked out of his own thing. You can't even have a sex dream about Hitler.

Yeah. Now they're trying to police what's going on up here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, OK, there's a few fucking... My Nazis in the room, no. Not even let you having horny Nazi dreams, alright?

I'm losing control of this. Hot water, is there some way we can work that into the wetness you were talking about before? I've tried it. Oh. Can you explain that a little bit more? Or don't. I'll never mention it again. Don't dwell on it, please. I've tried it. Yeah, I tried to fuck a hot water bottle.

It was a bit of a battle. Oh, it is a battle. So he made controversial statements. He also once praised this man named Big Tater and Fattas Francisco Franco, and that really upset a lot of people. But the statements didn't stop him from making many famous friends. He met Coco Chanel, who invited him to a painted her house. And then he met his paint Just painted a house. Yeah.

One of those, yeah. How do you want to come over to Barbecue and paint my house? Just make a white please. But before we do that, I've got to move some stuff over. Did you pick me up? He also met his hero, Sigmund Freud, after painting his portrait, Dali, was thrilled to learn that Freud had said,

so far I was led to consider completely insane the surrealists. Who I think had been, I think I'd been adopted as their patron saint. But this young spaniard with his candid, fanatical eyes, and his undeniable technical mastery has made me change my mind. You love that.

Apparently Freud also said, that boy looks like a fanatic. And Dali was like, that's sick. LAUGHTER In February, he met the Marx brothers in Hollywood, That boy looks like a fanatic. And Dali was like, that's sick. LAUGHTER He was in February. He met the Marx brothers in Hollywood, along with Harper, where he began working on a script for a film entitled, Giraffes on Horseback Salad, which was never produced.

Giraffes on Horseback Salad. Yeah. I hate it. I ended up making a film called Duck Soup, though. Did it come from that? Yeah. I hate it. I ended up making a film called Duck Soup though. Did I come from that? Yeah. As long as you don't follow questions. Did you see his face there? That's his pity face. Yeah. Yeah. But he did. He pity me. I was just asking a question. Does he hate learning? No. Does he hate people being inquisitive? He went to Hollywood to work with Alfred Hitchcock on the film Spellbound whose dreamlike sequences were created by Dali and Walt Disney approached him to make a short film in 1945.

It got shelved but they made it in 1999. Sheld is a funny word. I regret it saying it. They eventually made the Disney film in 2003 and you can watch on YouTube and it is fucking weird. But Dalyan, his wife, Gala, moved to the United States during the Second World War when German troops entered France and he was like, go get the fuck out of here. And in the USA, he's notoriety only grew. And it was during his time in the fuck out of here. And in the USA, he's notoriety, only grew. And it was during his time in the 40s that he began to sport his now iconic mustache. Oh.

The Hitler mustache. Oh. In the middle of the 1920s, Salvador Dali had been beardless, repeat, beardless. But in the 1930s, he grew a mustache the style of American actor Adolf Menjou. He called it, it wasn't Adolf's style mustache. And Dali himself called it the smallest mustache in the world and Hitler was like, yeah, I make a difference.

Hold my beer, bitch. Famous at all, it was saying. Holds you be a beach? Sorry if that's offensive to you, people, though. That's offensive to everyone. That was the worst accent I've ever done. But mine, 1950 for it, it had become his iconic look to the point that he was able to publish a book about it called Dali's Mustache. Another time for publication, the mustache was 25 centimeters long. He became a household name and the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York City gave him his own retrospective in 1941. Dali was obsessed with money and admitted he felt the need to accumulate wealth and his

output was prodigious and cost many mediums. Basically he's the biggest seller you'll ever know. He made sculptures, design jewelry, clothing furniture, painted sets for ballet, which he also designed costumes and sometimes wrote script, made documentaries, gave talks, appeared in numerous commercials, wrote for magazines, and wrote in Puppetless Poetry and Fiction, including a book called 50 Secrets of Magic. You wrote a magic book! So he's very busy.

In 1915... Wait, hang on. Was he a virgin? 50 Secrets of Magic, that's the kind of book I've seen on your shelf. I love matching books. There's a lot of awe over here. This is the most sympathetic crowd I've had in quite a while, and I love that. I too have an empath. Paul Little Vento.

Jess is a big empath, too. Look at it. Just feeling all of what you're giving. I don't understand what it means. This episode is brought to you by Progressive.

Nice. Thank you. Thank you. He designed one of his most enduring creations. The logo, Fitchupper Chups. What? Yes. Yes. Aw, quickly. Favorite Chup Chups. Yes. All right, quickly, favorite chopper chop.

Go. Storberies and cream. Oh, that is my least favorite. Oh, for me, it's anything butchok banana. Yeah, the cream ones suck. Oh, the gum ones strawberry classic. Number two lemon classic. Classic.

I had them a lot. I had them a lot. Yeah. The cream ones are fucking no good. Yeah, gross. What's cream? Cream. Cream. The one you said.

Cream! That's what I just saw from you. Cream! Something Dive's never done. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! He's done it!

Was that the Sigmund Freud perv again? Was that you? Who was that? Who was that? I loved it. I loved the shame that he felt and met it to it. But I also loved how much we connected in that moment. I've been thinking it for ages. So he just... Another thing Dave's never said. That's what I say every time I go.

Yes! Did it again! Thank God! Thought I was out of this game, but I did it again. Well, thank God. I thought I was out of this game, but I did it again. I fauve and I rub it around. I feel like we're bordering on oversharing now. It does feel like we're doing do-go-on-after-dark, it doesn't it?

You're doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Oh, my dick. LAUGHTER You fucking perv. LAUGHTER So, he made the chopper chops lower. Did you guys know this? Some people know this. No.

Spanish candy maker on Rick Bernat, originally called the lollipops goal. Taken inspiration of scoring a goal in football. In his mind, the lollipop was like a ball going into the kid's mouth, which was like a net. Do you not like that at all? And then he reached out to an advertising company and they said, you should change this. So they called it chopper chops a reference to the Spanish verb, chupa, which means to suck.

It's not much better. And chop a small child. Honestly, matter worse, but... And you are on your own now. And then, so they'd go with me on that, and they left me. And you are on your own now. So they'd go with me on that and they left me. Much like a woman left. Oh, I wish there was someone to leave me.

Thank you. Two empathetic, this crowd. It's just a joke, guys. Dave Fox. He finally honest. To be honest, honestly, when he's on stage, is one of the few times he's not fucking... Yes!

That's why it's funny. He pocks along. Look at him too much. I have a problem. Yes. This is a cry for help. So the guy, he's rebranding, he's like, oh, chopper chopper, they're still not taking off.

So one day he's having coffee with his friend, Salvador Dali. And this is according to the website co-design. And he complained about the chopper chopper logo. Dali, no stranger to an opportunity, reportedly spent an hour drawing designs on a newspaper. And then he gave it to him and insisted the logo be put on the top.

And then the candy took off around the world and the logo has remained largely unchanged. And according the candy took off around the world and the logo is Remained largely unchanged and according to Forbes Dali was paid a million dollar sum For drawing on a newspaper in Hany to his mate go and there you go. Oh, love it. That's sick Also, he probably didn't pay for the coffee that day because I think I may have mentioned this on episode one of this Podcast when the would come, he would pay with a check and then do a quick doodle on the back, knowing that as an original, dali artwork, the art would be worth more than the check and the business would never cash it. So he could just get free shit everywhere he went. That's clever. That is very clever. You mentioned that on the Mona Lisa episode.

I think I'm out of music. Well, that's a fun fact. I remember that very well. And then I probably would have said that I did a tour in Montmartre in Paris. Yes, the Bobo as we know. I think I've said it every four or five episodes. You always shoot on it in some way. But Pablo Picasso is hero would go around doing the same thing. He'd do a picture to pay his bill.

And they go, could you sign it? And he's like, I only want to buy this meal, not the restaurant. Oh, my God. Want to do it? Ah! Sorry to paraphrase you there, so. After World War II, we became obsessed with the splitting of the atom and refer to this period of his work as nuclear mysticism incorporating optical illusions, holiography, holography,

holography, holography, holography. That's not a word, that's not good.

Bimmy did a bad bad thing. That's what I sound like. We're getting towards the end here, but he also continued his outlandish stunts, all of which contributed to his fame and mythology. Mental Floss writes, Dalian Gala were known for throwing elaborate bizarre dinner parties. At one, a fundraiser in Monterey, California in 1941,

guests like Bob Hope and Alfred Hitchcock were asked to dress up as their own dreams. Gala, for example, wore a unicorn's head. Darlie borrowed monkeys from the San Francisco zoo for the evening. And guests were served fish in satin shoes, followed by live frogs. The event was so lavish that rather than raising money

for refugee artists, as it was designed lavish that rather than raising money for refugee artists as it was designed to, it actually lost the money. The suit is lent him monkeys. They have like for a cost, if they were losing cash. Yeah. In 1952. A dog with a zoo. Hey, you know, I'm just going to lend Dali monkeys. He's having a fucking good time, he dogs. What a pack of dogs.

What a pack of dogs. Give me a monkey. All right. Nice. Matt, I got us a monkey. What's going on? Howl, huh? Howl, huh? Oh, oh, oh, oh,. Beautiful, it works with everything.

Easy being saved me a lot tonight. In 1955 he showed up for a lecture in Paris in a Rolls Royce stuffed to the roof with 1100 pounds of cauliflower. I love that. So he could belly fit in the car. The painter told journalists, Mike Wallace, at the point of the stunt was that he had discovered the logarithmic curve of a cauliflower, which is just bulls-chew.

The Smithsonian refers to a time in 1962 when to promote a photography book called The World of Salvador Dali. He dressed in a golden robe and lay on a bed in a manhand bookstore, attended by a doctor, a nurse, and gala, he signed a book swell wire to a machine thatattan bookstore, attended by a doctor, a nurse, and gala, he signed a bookstraw wire to a machine that recorded his brain waves and blood pressure,

a copy of this data was then printed and given to the purchase of the book. So he's doing these crazy stuff. In the 60s, he made friends with Andy Warhol and whilst staying at a hotel on Fifth Avenue, Warhol brought over silk screen painting as a gift for Dali. Dali reportedly threw it on the ground at the hotel and repeated

proceeded to piss all over it. Rather than get offended, Warhol supposedly loved the whole episode. Which is what we're gonna do for you all tonight. If you brought your ticket printed out, we will piss on it as a memento, so... Hey! I've never seen such an ungrateful... I'm telling you, I'm going to piss on your stuff! It's like, what do you want? If you want from us. If you want, I will cry on it.

I will do that for you. I will do that. But he will not come on it. That's what he doesn't know how. Oh, no. Again, day fucks. That's what he doesn't know how. Well, he doesn't know how. Again, Dave Fox. We have been told. You say one by Dave, yeah.

Yeah, no, yeah. He probably doesn't fuck. He's a virgin. We're back to where we began. I'm not. I'm not. You were all a ghost, sir. In the 1960s, the mayor of Figuerre is in Spain, Dali's hometown, Arceatus, to donate a piece to the city's art museum. Instead, he declared he would donate an entire museum. He spent the next 14 years setting it up, decorating the facade with giant sculptures of eggs and bread rolls.

It opened in 1974 when he was 70 and was still open as a very, very popular tourist attraction. Bakery. Yeah. It is a bakery. They were like, we just wanted one painting. Yeah, and he was like, this took 40 years, all of them. He bought Gala a castle as a retreat in the town of Pupiul, which was apparently only allowed, he was only allowed to visit her there on written invitation.

Oh, OK, so things are going well. Yeah. Do you want me a castle? On written invitation. Okay, so things are going well. Yeah. You want me a castle? On written invitation. I wasn't following. Okay, I'm going to send you a text inviting you to buy me a castle. Thou shall be done. You're right, the things we're not going that well. His last year's for his harder, Stali lived in fear of gala's abandonment and this caused him into a spiral of depression. And she died in 1982 at the age of 87 and after Dali's depression worsened, he moved

into the Pupiol Castle attended by nurses. And quoting from the Smithsonian, he needed a lot of care and attention, his incessant use of a coal button caused a short circuit that set off a fire in his bed and badly burnt his leg. He was hitting the coal button so much it started a fire. Oh, look, I'm on his side there. That feels like that's not his fault.

No matter how much you call some the nurse, a wrecking a fire shouldn't be started. Yeah. Crazy. That's crazy. That's nuts. Friends moved him into an extension of his own museum back in his hometown of Figueres where he spent his final years. In the last couple of years he suffered from a motor disorder that many couldn't hold a paintbrush anymore and he couldn't express himself that way, which obviously was pretty awful for him.

Sadly, all with things must come to an end. And Selveteau Dali died on January 23rd, 1989 at the age of 84, and he was buried in the crypt of his own Dali theatre museum. Like a dinner and show, can't I? He would have loved it. He's artistic legacy has been debated over the years. Some art critics say everything he did post his surrealism in the 30s is no good, having peaked very early. But his popularity has not waned. Many of his paintings hang in the most famous art galleries

in the world, sell for millions of dollars. And his museum is in his very small hometown receives over a million visitors per year. Wow. That's cool. And that's a small town. Like, the basically, that's the reason that people go there. Yeah, man. And never far away from controversy, even in death,

in June 2017, a judge in Madrid ordered that Dali's body be exhumed to settle a paternity case. A 61-year-old Spanish woman claimed that her father hadn't a fair with the artist while she was working as a maid for his neighbor. Oh, wait. Wait, her father had an affair with the artist while she was working as a maid for his neighbour. Wait, her father? That's gonna be very hard to prove.

Two dudes, my dad and Salvador Dali had an affair. I reckon one of them was my mom somehow. And the judges like, dig him up. Dig him up. I did misspeak it. What's his brother apparently having to fare? But in September, the results of the dog him up, they did the DNA test.

The results of the DNA test revealed that Dali was not the father, but we did learn one important thing from the exonation. His trademark mustache is intact. Whoa. Like it likes mummified. According to the forensic experts who saw the body, his famous waxed mustache has remained in perfect position

since his death 28 years earlier. It's amazing. Seal up like that. Wow. On the like on Salvador Scully. Really? Like... LAUGHTER We're going to end on a pun, yeah! Is that a pun?

That's a pun. Technically, we did not end on a pun, we ended on just questioning whether or not I should have gone for that. Scully, really? No, I was more like, are you okay? Oh, you meant that. I bulge up. No. That's wild. That's great. That's, that's, I love to think that that mustache is living on beyond the soul. I hate it. Yeah. Why is it there? Although where does hair go? What do you mean where does it go? I don go? I don't want to ask follow-up questions.

Where does hair go? Where does it go? What is it, man? We asked the big questions here. Where does hair go? That's such a fun question. Where does it go? I wish science could answer it, but.

Sadly, they don't know. Well, never know. But that's the life of Selvete Dali. Wow, Dave Warnak here, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Well done. What a tale.

I can't believe that in Norse Rost is whenever it brought up, but... Yeah, that's the story. And in Norse Rost. He's greatest legacy. That was a great tale. Thank you so much. Yeah, well done, Dave. he knostered alls. He's greatest legacy. That was a great tale. Thank you so much. Yeah, well done Dave. Thank you very, very much.

I knew none of that. Really? Not one bit, other than his name, that I read of you for the name. Still annoyed by that. And I'll... Well, don't make your texts so big. All those heroes of his, like you read him, like we were all meant to know who they were. Like Picasso.

Like Picasso. OK. He's also in that movie. See. Dave, what a fantastic effort. Wow. You've already applauded him, Adam. We can't go through that again.

Now, why don't you give it up for the Sess Twins. Yeah! Nothing wrong with asking for applause. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks so much for coming out. We really do appreciate it.

Thank you so much for coming out. We have a big round of applause for the European Big Cafe. Yeah! We got Holy Onset. Yeah! Amber and Jenny are filming this thing. Thank you so much. And it's the only people coming out. We love you. We'll see you next time. Good night! Bye! And you're back with Dave. Wasn't that just a bit of fun? Honestly, it really wasn't. Matt did say it sounded like a late night show that one. So I'm out, 8.30 on a Sunday night. It was honestly like we were doing 11 PM,

I was sad today, but sometimes these things happen. And yeah, it was really, really fun. So I'm back basically to let you know that it's time for everyone's favorite part of the show. And that is the fact quote or question segment, which goes a little like this. Sing along, Humphrey, my dog's here, by the way. Fact quote or question, ding.

The ding came from Humphrey. He's a good boy. No, it is my turn to take you through the fact, quote, or question and basically give back to the people that give us so much. The Patreon supporters, people have been supporting this show for years now on Patreon at patreon.com slash do go on pod

and in exchange for you supporting the show we'll give you a bunch of rewards. So benefits to other people don't get including three bonus episodes a month. We put out just for those people. There's over a hundred to get through now if you want to sign up and go through the back catalog. Got a bit of time to kill. Lots of funny stuff in there I think.

You also get access to pre-sale for any shows we're ever doing, including this one live at the European beer cafe, the Patreon got first to get to vote for topics, which is actually what happened on this episode, change the history of the show. And of course, contribute to the fact-quote or question. And that is when people give us a, can you believe it, a fact-quote or a question, they also get to give themselves a title. And first up this week, we have Colin and Lee Wright, like you Colin and Lee have given themselves the titles of volunteer local guides and location scouts for the 2022 in brackets fingers crossed, do go on American tour.

Honestly, I'm crossing every single digit I have for this. It's been our dream for many years now. Things keep getting in the way, but hopefully the world opens up again soon, and we'll be over there. And Colin and Lerite, I can't wait to see where you think we should go. Because I guess we'll just follow your artillery. It's just easier that way. So thank you so much.

And Colin and Lerite have given me a quote to read out. Love a quote is probably the least popular of the contributions but you know honestly very well received by us. So the quote is quote, you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb in his skin and walk around in it. And that is Atticus Finch from Harper Lee's to Kill a Mockingbird. And in the words of colony, one of my favorite books which Dave did a great job covering on bookcheat. Oh thank you so much honestly that was one of my favorite episodes too. And one of my favorite books I'd say it's very very good. Colin Lee continue, I like this quote

because it's how about how incredibly important empathy is forgetting through this life together and also because it could be taken out of context as a quote from a serial killer. But mostly the empathy, empathy thing. Yeah, I get that. You never really understand a person too. You consider things from his point of view. Until you climb in his skin and walk around in it. It's very Hannibal Lecter-esque, isn't it?

Great stuff. Thank you so much, Colin and Lee. The next one comes from John Jason Matthew Luna. Fantastic name. It's given themselves the title of Australia's first Texas Ranger and Cat wrestler in brackets, Ifea no cat. I love it. Thank you so much, John Jason, who's given a fact.

Love a fact as well? I love to learn. And of course, I don't fact check these and like Matt, I'm reading these for the first time right now. So let's give it a crack, but I'm trusting you, John Jason, you know your stuff. It was told us that Diodorant wasn't invented until 1910. Wow, that's late. So don't time travel too before then. Folks, we're extra stinky, and it just wasn't a good time to have a sense of smell. Also, can I get Matt to tell my kids Lila and Brock, I'm super proud of them both. Can I do it? I'm also, honestly, John Jason, I'm super proud of them both. Oh, can I do it?

I'm also, honestly, Jason, John Jason, I'm happy to let your kids know, leave them in a box that you're proud of them. But does that mean anything to you? Do you want this? No? They only respect Matt, I get it. I get it, I really do. Thank you for giving us a fun way to learn some history each week.

You're all truly the best. Hey, so are you, and you know what, John Jason? I'm proud of you. Appreciate that. The next one is another fact, love a fact. And this week we are learning from Sophie Chuta. In brackets, it doesn't bother me how you say it, but it's a hard C-H like Choo Choo train.

I know that's Sophie! Yes. Sophie Chuta, who is giving themselves the nickname triptitch club chef Oh just trying to find a way to get in early Ah okay you would like to be one of the staff out the back helping us out Well okay obviously the triptitch club is something I'll introduce in a second where you are You get access all areas to our very exclusive club. We have some fantastic all-durs every week.

So, if you'd like to organize those, but of course you will be in the curtained-off area of the place where you can't let anyone get in before their time is due. I know you understand. No, thank you so much. I appreciate your support. And your little snacks. you are quite the chef. And the fact from Sovichudri's, there are only two countries in the world

that are double land locked, meaning they are surrounded only by land locked countries. Does anyone know them? Obviously this would be better if I was with Matt or Jess right now. I'm gonna pause for anyone at home. No, not that one. No, okay, yes.

Uh-huh, one in Europe, yes. Lichtenstein is correct, well done. And the other one, okay, it's one of the stands that helps. It is also Beckerstan correct. Wow, two from two, you guys. That is amazing. Lichtenstein and Uzbekistan. They are landlocked surrounded by countries that themselves are landlocked. It's a good trivia fact. Thank you Sophie Tudor and

finally a man that witnessed the episode that we just recorded live in the room and will know that we did have to edit quite a bit stuff. And that is Sirage Peerus. Thanks Sirage, it's given themselves the title of the accidental drink thief. Huh, who's drink did you steal? Well never know. Well maybe you'll let us know. Thank you so much Sirage, who has given us a fact as well and that is the Royal Family Chains, their name to sound less German. It used to be Warnike, but Anglicised it to Windsor, I did not know that. No, it's written, no, that's not true. It used to be Sax, Coveg, Gotha.

They changed it in 1917 and chose Windsor because they had ties with the English town. Ah-ha! There you go, my family did not change their name because they're not cowards like those clowns from Buckingham Palace. Now I'm trying to be Matt, be anti monochist, but I think that my on the queen episode Jess and I were very pro queen.

Who knows? It's hard to keep can going on your own. You got to attack it from all sides. So thank you so hard. Surage is what I mean to say. So Colony, John Jason, Sofichuta and Surage. from all sides. So thank you so much. So the next thing to get to is to thank a bunch of our Patreon supporters. You get a shout out, of course, if you are on a certain level of our Patreon. We usually come up with something to give them a shout out, connect to the

topic. Because it was a live one, I had to cut this bit out like I just on the spot I didn't have. I had a list of some of Selvardor Dali's greatest artwork titles. I think that he was a great self-remoter, great at getting attention if you will by throwing himself down the stairs, but also other stuff. And I thought, what's the thing you just great packaging himself up as a product if you will? And one of those things was coming up with titles for his work. For example, I'm not going to give this to someone because it's a bit erotic, but one of his titles is Young Virgin Auto-Sodomized by the horns of her own Chastity, and that one once hung in the

Playboy Mansion. So I've gone through, there are a couple of thousand of these listed online, but I've picked out some of my favorite titles and you know what, I'm going to give these pieces of art to these Patreon supporters. They're chucking in a few bucks a month and in exchange they are now getting millions of dollars worth of art. This could be you. So first up I would like to thank from Canterbury in England, Charlie Cleary. Charlie Cleary, I'm going to give you the Salvador Dali painting, autumnal cannibalism. Autumnal cannibalism.

You can hang that in the study if you like. Probably not the kitchen, but you do you. Charlie Cleary, thank you so much for your support, autumnal cannibalism. I would like to thank next from Lexington in North Carolina, a state where I believe, in some places they have blue fire engines. Maybe in Lexington, Renee Lazar is who I'm talking about.

Thank you so much Renee, and your title for your work that you can now hang proudly in Lexington is Honey is sweeter than blood, which is both factually accurate, and also a great title. Honey is sweeter than blood, which is both factually accurate and also a great title. Honey is sweeter than blood. Thank you so much Renee.

Next up from Alamonte in California, Patrick Villagas. Patrick Villagas. And your title is the Hallucinogenic Toriador.

Hallucinogenic Toriador, I think Toriador is, of course, a bullfighter. Not a job you want to be taking Hallucinogens before you get out there. I, of course, do not support bullfighting in any form, but if you are to do it, do not take. Listen to the drugs before you get out there. In your bullring, Patrick Villagas, thank you, or Veeergas. I would now like to thank from an unknown location, I can only imagine they live in the fortress of the moles, deep beneath this Andrea Dizarno. Thanks so much Andrea, and you can hang in the fortress of the malls. This is your title. It's a bit of a mouthful.

Geopoliticus child watching the birth of the new man. Geopoliticus child watching the birth of the new man. Wow. Andrea, does Ahno. Thank you so much for your support. Now from Kings Langley in New South Wales, I would like to thank Gen V, or is that Gen V, Gen V, Gen V, I'm not sure, but Gen, this is what you get in. Raphael-esque head exploding. When you look this one up, it is what it says on the tin. Raphael-esque

head exploding. That is yours. Yours to keep, honestly. Seriously, don't ask me how I got these artwork. I did mention at the start of the episode that there was a Selvardor Dali based art house that I am hoping to do a Patreon bonus episode on soon. So is this where I got those artworks? Who knows, Jen, thank you so much. And finally, from Rutherglen,

not the place in Victoria here in Australia where they have fantastic parker pies. But I imagine they also have fantastic pies in Rutherglen, you will have Venus Demilo with draws. How's all furniture and high art? Venus Demilo with draws. I love it. So thank you so much to Charlie, Renee, Michael, Brighton, Jessica, Patrick, Andrea, Jen and Chloe for support of the show. We really appreciate it. And honestly, there's only one thing left to do, and that is check if there are any members of the Triptic or Triptic Club, and I have got a few people to joining us tonight. This is of course people that I've been supporting this show for three consecutive years on the shout out level,

and we induct them into a whole of fame type clubhouse, where we have food, we have drinks, we have live music, and I also try and height them up a little bit. We've got Sophie Tudor in the kitchen. Of course, we've got a dali-esque party going on tonight and Everyone's coming dressed up as their own dreams and There's the monkeys borrowed from the San Francisco Zoo and guests will be served fish in satin shoes Followed by live frogs. And if that's not wacky and weird enough tonight, the drink tonight, it's a classic screwdriver,

orange juice and vodka, but it's not orange, it's blue. What is this a blue? No, it's orange juice. And as for a band, I have picked a book to group that I think the Dali would be impressed by because their show is sort of out of this world. It's not just the music, there's a lot going on on stage and that is the flaming lips will be joining us.

So cannot wait for that to accompany out frogs. And these are the people that have been supporting us this week for three consecutive years. And honestly, a huge shout out to all of you. And what I'm going to try and do is hype you up. I'm your hype guy. Obviously, you usually have Jess hyping me up. So we'll see how I go. As I'm hyping these people, then usually Matt's here being a bit negative, trying to bring

me down. But no, it's just positive vibes. I'm like, a hungry is my hype man. You won't hear from him because he is a dog, but he is looking at me like, you can do it man. You can do it. So thanks so much, Humph, I appreciate that. Okay, let's do this.
