Melbourne and Canada, we got exciting news for you. And we should also say this is 2026. Jess, what year is it? 2026. Thank God you're here. Right now, I'm in Melbourne doing my show with Serenjai Amarna, 630 each night at the Cooper's Inn Hotel, having so much fun. We'd love to see you there.

Canada, we are visiting you in September this year. If you've somehow missed the news, we are heading up Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto for shows. That's going to be so much fun. Tickets for all this stuff, I believe, are online. And I'm here too. Hey everyone, just Dave here letting you know that the episode you are about to hear was recorded live in Melbourne at the European Beer Cafe. It's the third or four of these that we did.

They're all done now, so thank you so much to everyone that came along. We had an absolute blast getting back in front of a live audience. I had to cut out a bit of audio here that was still a bit of stuff going on in the room. But if you'd like to see it one day, we did film it and eventually it will be up on SOSPresents.com. So keep an eye on social media when we'll be able to tune. into that if you want to see it. We've got another exciting live show to announce on next week's episode, a new thing that we haven't done before, which we're really excited about. So again, stay tuned for that if you are interested. But until then, thank you so much,

and enjoy this episode recorded live in Melbourne. Hello, and welcome to another episode of Do Go One. My name is Dave Warnocky. 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 on stage and save me. Could you please give it up for Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart? You know what that means, you fucking horny dog.

You knew exactly what that meant. I wasn't listening. What did he say? He said we're all going to get wet inside. Gross, Dave. That sounds even worse than what I see. 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. I'm not. 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. That sounds like I'm about to be sacrificed. That is, that's full on.

No, no, no, no, it's not interactive. It felt like I needed to get that in earlier. I was laughing where that was. Shut up. I know, I'm like, yeah, I'll bring you with Jess. It's like, fuck off. Great, how are both of you? Feeling 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, the bitches are back. You're fucked. I'm terrified. They're coming for you, little man.

Well, too much. Too much, Bob, too much. All right, rain it back in. Rainer back in. Yeah, when I said getting wet, I meant crying on my friends. Just give me a little tabby, by the go too far. We take it in terms of a report on a topic, often suggested by a listener, and it is my turn to do the report with the SaaS twins

who have no idea what I'm about to talk about. 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? Okay. And then he said, too bad. That's right.

I get in early with the SaaS twins, yeah. I'm a bitch. A thirsty bitch. So, all right. Oh boy. We always start with a question to get us on the topic. And I have a, 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 it, I'll throw it over to the audience. Some of you may know because you voted for it if you're a Patreon supporter, some people have. But which man holds the honour of being the only person to have a mustache category named after them at the World Beard Championships?

Hitler. Gotta be Hitler. Locking in Hitler, please. Every year, 600 men turn up with Hitler muster. The local bar looks so fun. It is not Hitler. It is Tom Selleck. Honestly,

A great mustache. Abraham Lincoln. Mustache free. Can you describe the stash? 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? No. That'd be good though. Is it Salvador Darlary? It is Salvador Darlene. Is it Salvador?

Oh. I heard that as well from over there. But on delay. 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 my misery.

I appreciate that. This topic has been suggested, two people Lewis Head Jones from Rexum in tonight didn't think so what a noise that was Rexum drayman coming in from Rexum good luck in this traffic and also vaguely I just in case they get annoyed Jenny Asaro from Huntington Station in New York State who kind of suggested a spin-off topic about an Adali 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, you little cuck. Let's get on with a report. I am holding back tears. We'll get them out of you. You want me to break once tonight. Did I need to lean in there? That was weird. Sorry about that. I'll write myself back in there. I'll get out of you.

I'll get out of you. Sounds like to me we've got a purve on stage. Right here. All right, let me tell you about Salvador, Felipe Jacinto Dali and Dominic. Born on May 11, 1904, in the Catalonian town of Figueres, just inside the Spanish border with France and the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. Beautiful, beautiful. Beautiful part of the world.

Gold's country. Beautiful, beautiful. His father, also Salvador Dali, was a well-paid notary who drew up... Wait, what? No wonder he became a surrealist. He's his own dad. Well, what do I tell you? It gets even weird.

But we'll get to that in second. His father was a well-paid notary. He drew up legal documents, and according to the Smithsonian, he was an authoritarian figure in the artist's life. His mother, on the other hand, Felipe 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. She sold boxes. Very artistic stuff. Very artistic stuff. Yeah, very inspiring for a child. Well, according to Darley 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 Mama Dalai. Is he the melty guy? Are these

melty ducks? Melty swans? Am I thinking of the right guy? You think you're the right guy. When he says it's a melty duck, it's a melty duck. This is where it gets weird. His older brother, also named Salvador Dali. 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 his alive older father. He was quite an impressional rural child, as many children are. Apparently they took him to his brother. Graveside and 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 Dahlia. I wanted to be a cook, and at seven, I wanted to be Napoleon. That sounds all right. We all make that transition. It's also not... 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 He also wrote

Uh That's what You're letting that She swings, she misses We never know what's going to happen up here I'll keep swinging Yeah, you'll keep swinging at the audience violently

He also wrote in this secret line At 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. Ozzy Osbourne was just a poor man, Salvador Darlene. Where were the ants, Ozzy? So when he tore it almost in half, what are we talking about? Like two thirds?

Yeah. I don't... What are we talking? 98%. It's hanging on by it, but a thread. That's not nearly half day. That's nearly 100%. Half is 50%

This is a maths nerd You suck Thanks You lent in again, it was weird Yeah sorry Yeah no good note He was pretty prolific from a young age Dali painted one of his earliest known works

Landscape of Fugeres His local town in 1910 When he was six years old The Oil on Postcard work Depicks a scene in his hometown And now hangs in the 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 dads or his brothers?

That is his dad's. His parents built him an art studio to encourage him from young age. But formerly speaking, he wasn't a great student. He was prone to mucking about and his father made him move to a French-speaking school after he failed at his first school.

But he wasn't that interested in learning. Instead, he daydreamed 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're no good at school. Go to this other school that talks a different language.

That'll fix you up. Care? I can picture a little, so I want to care. 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 and teachers. The international language.

We've all been through that phase. Salvador, where's your homework? Well, let me answer your question. Let me just go to the top of these stairs to answer 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.

This happened many times. As a child. As a child, as a teenager. as an adult. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. He was also terrified of grasshoppers and other students threw them at him. They are weird, though, eh?

Oh, yeah. And not surprisingly, he remained scared of them for life. They really scared him. Right. They're the ones that the woman grasshopper eats the man grasshoppers head after they fuck. Praying man is what I was talking about. That was a good test.

Yeah, well done. Ah, well done, grasshopper. That's pretty good. It's a reference to a thing I don't understand, but I think it's from the 80s. Is that right? Fast forward did a sketch about it before any of them were born, so... That's your only reference in life.

I only know things from Fast forward, full front on the Simpsons. That's all parodies. I've never lived a life. Well, let me say, you Matt by saying tragedy struck when Dali's mother died of cancer when he was 16 which he described as the greatest blow I had experienced in my life

She described that No he said that 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's 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. A lot of hate in the hearts of our audience here tonight. Which is disappointing to me, but maybe someone like you, Dave, 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 his first public exhibition 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. Side burns. Oh my God. Can you believe it? What? He's crazy. I can't believe it. Long hair and sideburn.

Even longer hair. That's crazy. It's like he just didn't cut it. It 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 Vasquez Diaz was denied a professorship. Allegedly, was so annoyed that he started a riot on campus. But they allowed him back. Falling down the stairs. Come with me, guys. It's starting a riot, boo.

He's just pushing people down the stairs. That guy did have a brilliant name. Daniel Vasquez Diaz. Oh, love that. Oh, yeah, that is good. I like it. Just saying, like, sometimes we're all allowed to agree with each other. Really?

No, fuck you. So they let him 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. And they kicked him out. That is awesome. I love that. Do you?

I do. I mean, he backed it up. He became a legend. That's true. It's amazing. He's more successful than them, almost certainly. Yeah. All right, bringing it back to the main man, Salvador Dali.

I can't remember 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 Spaniard in his studio and found inspiration in what Cubists were doing. Dali then worked through a number of stars. I did make another weird noise. Just warming up the pipes. This is your captain speaking. I was on a plane today.

He did it. Oh, I was on a plane today. Oh, I just landed. Shut up, Dave. We get it. You're worldly. Have you had a COVID test? Where'd you fly from?

Bermuda. 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 artists and writers like Joan Miro, René Margreite, Paul Elouard and Max Ernst

that really attracted the young artist. These artists were trying to apply the new psychoanalytical 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, I forgot who side I'm on there.

That was so good. Fuck you, Dave. And we're back. A little quiet time for Matt. Yep. A little quiet time for both of us, maybe. Yeah, I've got a bit of text to get through here. Dahlia himself was already an avid reader of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theories.

He knew of Freud's ideas 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, ideographic imagery. So he had a bit of a perverse fascination with sex, and not to psychoanalyzing 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 Dali, and he continued to associate sex with putrefaction. Was it like melting dicks? Honestly, yeah. wearing wristwatches doing the wristwatcher

puppetry the penis style oh my god you've cracked something there so yeah a bone so as well as sexy is up here I feel there's no better thing to hear

from an audience than oh Jesus that makes me feel good it makes me feel like I should shut the fuck And I did say I would do that, what, 30 seconds ago? And look, how good you did for 30 seconds? All right, I'm going to... Hey?

Okay, no, no. As well as sex, his art frequently depicted Freudine 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 Dichenova, a Russian immigrant.

10 years he's senior, commonly known as Gala. At this time, she was married to Dali's friend, the aforementioned surrealist writer Paul Elouar. Although they had an open marriage and they both regularly had affairs, Gala eventually left Elouar for Dali and would become his life partner, muse, business manager and eventually his wife in 1934. So, quadruple threat there. According to biroghry.com, quote,

she helped balance, or one might say, counterbalance the creative forces and 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 with him hooking out with Gala

and for some of his outlandish behaviour, calling him a, quote, perverted son on whom you cannot depend for anything, and he permanently banished him from the family homes. Perp. Thank you. For being a perp. Get out here, perp.

He's just a couple of years away from becoming a multi-millionaire. Bad move by dad. But Darleney and his future wife became inseparable. He even signed his paintings with both of their names. Oh, okay. Oh, something wrong with me because I went, bleh. Sorry, did anybody else feel like that?

Yeah. Okay, oh, thank God. I was like, oh, I need help. Oh, I was like, Buh. Gross. He'd definitely bring her to a wedding even if it didn't have a plus one.

Yeah. Oh. Exclusively uses we. Oh, I'm not sure if we're free. I didn't invite you both. Sorry, I've got a therapy appointment very soon. Join Eam. I join Facebook.

Dali once claimed that without Gala, he would be insane, There's probably no coincidence that after meeting her his 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 parodied 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 Great Assault. They know a good thing. The persistence of memory He originally sold up at $250 bucks and since 1934 it's hung in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City 250 I could buy that

Blag? You got $250? Well, not on me but you could put a down and pass the hat around but you're sitting there thinking where did he get these wacky ideas was during this time that he started to make himself

hallucinate He pioneered what he called the paranoiac 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 Sometimes 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 Like we all do That's a relatable thing isn't it Fuck you Thank you. What kind of childhood did you have? Well, I understand when you see something in a cloud, but I'm picturing Dave going,

I'm going to see some one of these clouds. I will, I'll do it. Nah, still nothing. I'm a virgin. Oh, look, I'm just Jess has got a sign writer. Virgin, oh, okay. So basically, he's asking, he stares at shit or try 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

until he became only semi-conscious. Just do drugs, yeah, fuck! What are you doing? He's doing it the old school way. Fucking take a cap, here we go. Fuck me. Grow up, Salvador.

It didn't always go well. Often I would have put him into a self-induced paranoid state. And after emerging from the state, Dali would create, quote, hand-painted dream photographs from what he'd witnessed. Hand-painted dream photographs. What? Yeah, that's confusing.

That is confusing, isn't it? I'm absolutely confused by that. 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 here, Jess. 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 are you right way here. You could learn a thing, obviously, mate. Too much. Too much. I do like this quote. Often people would say, are you crazy? And he would say, the difference between a madman and me is that I am not mad.

And it is hard to argue with that. Honestly, it is. I hate people who answer questions like that. Is he yes or no, your piece of shit? Beautifully said, Jess. 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.

The 30s are going great. I bet they'll end it just as well. 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's Surrealist exhibition in 1936, he delivered a lecture titled Authentic Paranoid Ghosts while dressed in a wetsuit carrying a billiard cue and walking a pair of Russian wolfhounds Okay, now I like him

Before I was like Now I'm like This guy rocks He's in a wetsuit Yeah That's sick That's bad Because surfers are hot

He's a hot guy And he's got two hot dogs And a billiard cue He later said that he's The tire 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 art.

You get art. I get art. That's the cue. Shooting pool shark in the depths of the ocean. Oh, yes. And he's in a wet suit. And he's running out of water and he's having a go, isn't he? Yep. What were you talking about?

There's no wrong answers in art. Which is what makes it so cool. It sucks. It sucks. Sorry, the artist in the room, which I include myself as one. You're an artist. Oh, okay. You saw my show last week.

And it was pretty good. Pretty good. Well done, and we're very proud of you. But pretty good art, yeah. It was very artistic. I got sassed. It doesn't feel good. No.

How do you put up with this? I cry every night. Cool. Crying is cool. Yeah, crying's great. The only way virgins get wet. I've got really good aim now. How is that the crookest thing that's ever been said on this podcast?

You did it. Those fucking tables a few weeks ago. Don't bring up the tables, no. Look, we got here because he's in a wet suit. I've got to tell you about that. So he's in a diving. So are you in your picture. every suit's a wet suit and you're crying

but he's not as in a wet suit 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 and he'd been bolted in by a mechanic and in a few minutes in he started to run out of oxygen he tried to gesture that he needed help removing the helmet but the audience took it as part of his performance and just started laughing and the more he gestured the more more they laughed.

It's been said he nearly died in the suit until someone eventually cottoned on and freed him. I thought that was going to be the end of the report. Oh, I wish that's how he died. That'd be amazing. A little insight there. To our little German friend. Have you seen...

The only time I've seen him portrayed on the big screen is in midnight in Paris. Have you seen him in that? He's the famous actor? Is Adrian Brody? Adrian Brody, that's right. I love it so much. It's not worth bringing up now, but... The way he says,

Rinosaurus. I love it. I love it. I think about it so much. Rinosaurus. Dali. Rinosaurus. I love it.

William. I haven't seen it. Oh, okay. You don't support the works of that quite bad man, but... What's the guy of the name? Woody Allen. Regret.

Bringing that up. Rhinoceros. Great film. Great film. Yeah, saved it. He also made... He frequently made controversial statements that landed in hot water, according to the 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 woman, quote, whose flesh ravaged me. Oh, you've made someone furious.

Or real horny. Oh, no. I really hope the mics picked that up. There was quite a clattering at the back of the room there. 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 were allied to the French Communist Party expelled him in 1939 so he was kicked out of his own thing. Oh, you can't even have a sex dream about Hitler. Now they're trying to police what's going on up here. Oh, okay, there's a few fucking... Mine Nazis in the room tonight.

Not even late you're having horny Nazi dreams, all right. 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. Can you explain that a little bit more? Or don't. I'll never mention it again.

Don't dwell. Don't dwell on it, please. I've tried it. Yeah, I try to fuck a hot water bottle. Battle? It was... It was a bit of a battle. A bit of a battle.

So we made controversial statements. He also once praised the Spanish dictator and fascist Francisco Franco and that really upset a lot of people. But the Stamers didn't stop him from making many famous friends. He met Coco Chanel, who invited him to paint her house. Just paint her house? Yeah.

One of those. Hey, you want to come over for a barbecue and frame my house? Just make a white, please. But before we do that, I've got to move some stuff over. Could 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 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 in February he met the Marx Brothers in Hollywood along with Harper we began working on a script for a film entitled

Giraffes on Horseback Salies. which was never produced Giraffes on horseback salad I hate it They ended up making a film called duck soup though Did it come from that? Yeah As long as you have no follow up questions

Did you see his face there? That's his pity face Yeah Why did he pity me? I was just asking a question Don't you do Does he hate learning Don't you dare 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 it on YouTube, and it is fucking weird.

But Dali and 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, his notoriety only grew. And it was during his time of the 40s that he began to sport his now iconic mustache. Ah, the Hitler mustache. In the middle of the 1920s, Salvador Dali had been beardless,

repeat, beardless. But in the 1930s, he grew a mustache in the style of American actor Adolf Mengu. He called... He did. It was an Adolf style mustache. And Dali himself called it the smallest mustache in the world.

And Hitler was like, yeah, I beg to differ. Hold my beer, bitch. Famous Adolf Hitler's saying. Hold Zibir, bitch. Sorry if that's offensive to your people, Dave. That's offensive to everyone. That was the worst accent I've ever heard. But my 1954, it had become his iconic look,

to the point that he was able to publish a book about it called Dali's Mustache. And at the time of publication, the mustache was 25 centimetres 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 crossed many mediums. Basically, he's the biggest sellout you'll ever know.

He made sculptures, designed jewelry, clothing, furniture, painted sets for ballades, which he also designed costumes, and sometimes wrote the script, made documentaries, gave talks, appeared in numerous commercials, wrote for magazines, and wrote in publicist poetry and fiction, including a book called 50 Secrets of Magic.

He wrote a magic book. So he's very busy. 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 magic books. There's a lot of awe over here.

This is the most sympathetic crowd with having quite a while, and I love that. I too am an empath. Poor little virgin. Jess is a big empath too. Look at it. Just feeling all of what you're given. I don't understand what it means. So he did a lot of stuff, but in 1969...

Nice. Thank you. He designed one of his most enduring creations, the logo for chuppa chupps. What? Yes. Yes. All right, quickly. Favorite chop, chop, go. Strawberries and cream.

Oh, that is my least favorite. For me, it's anything but chock banana. Yeah, I hate chock banana. The cream ones suck. Number one, strawberry, classic. Number two, lemon, classic. Okay. I had a lot of stuff.

The cream ones are fucking no good. Yeah, gross. What's green? Cream. Cream. The one you said. Cream That's what I just saw from you

Cream Something Dave's never done 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 admitting to it.

But I also loved how much we connected in that moment. I've been thinking it for ages. So he designed... Yes. 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. High five and whoever's around. Feeling like we're bordering on oversharing now. It does feel like we're doing do going after dark a bit, doesn't it? You're doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Of my dick.

You fucking perth. So he made the chopper chops logo. Did you guys know this? Some people know this. A Spanish candy maker Enric Bernat. Originally called the lollipop's goal. Take an 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 not like that at all. And then he reached out to an advertising company and they said, you should change this. So they called a chopper chop's reference to the Spanish. for chuppah which means to suck. It's not much better.

And chop, a small child. Honestly made it worse, but... And you are on your own now. So they'd go with me on that and they left me much like a woman left out. Oh, I wish there was someone to leave me. Thank you. Too empathetic, this crowd.

It's okay. a joke guys Dave fucks. To be honest, to be honest, honestly when he's on stage, he's one of the few times he's not fucking... That's why it's funny. He fucks a lot! Look at him! Too much.

I have a problem. This is a cry for help. So the guy, he's rebranding. He's like, Chobber Chubba Chubb's, they're still not taking off. So one day he's having coffee with his friend, Salvador Dali. This is according to the website, Co-Design. And he complained about the Chubber Chubber Chops 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 remained largely unchanged. And according to Forbes, Dali was paid a million dollar sum for drawing on a newspaper and handing it to his mate going there you go. I love it. That's sick.

Did you know that about Darlene Chop Chop? And 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 bill would come, he would pay with a check and then do a quick doodle on the back, knowing that as an original Darley 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 might have mentioned it. Yeah. That's a fun fact. I remember that very well. And then I probably would have said

that I did a tour in Montmart in Paris. Yes, the Bobo, as we know. I think I've said it every four or five episodes. You wish you wanted in somehow. But Pablo Picasso, his hero, would go around doing the same thing. He'd do a picture to pay his bill. And they'd go, could you sign it?

And he's like, I'd only want to buy this meal, not the restaurant. What a... Sorry to paraphrase you there, so. After World War II, he became obsessed with the splitting of the atom and referred to this period of his work as nuclear mysticism incorporating optical illusions, holography, holographs, fuck you, and geometry in his paintings.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. That was you trying to say holographs? Holography. That's not a word, this is it? No, that's not good. Holography. That sounds all right. Yeah.

Thank you. But I prefer when you say, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha. Holography. Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho baby 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 Dali and 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. Dali borrowed monkeys from the San Francisco Zoo for the evening. And guests were served to 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 to, it actually lost the money. The zoo just lent him monkeys. Sound like for a cost, if they were losing cash. Yeah. In 1950s.

His fucking dog of the zoo. Hey, you know, I'm just going to lend Darley monkeys? He's having a fucking good time, you 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 kind? Howler? Howler? Baby did a bad, bad thing. Beautiful. It works with everything. Easy been saving me a lot.

tonight. In 195 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 barely fit in the car. The painter told journalist Mike Wallace that the point of the stunt was that

he had discovered the logarithmic curve of a cauliflower, which is just bullshit. 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 in a Manhattan bookstore, attended by a doctor, a nurse, and gala.

He signed books while wired to a machine that recorded his brainwaves and blood pressure. A copy of this data was then printed and given to the purchaser of the book. So he's doing these crazy stuff. In the 60s, he made friends with Andy Warhol, and while staying at a hotel on Fifth Avenue, Warhol, brought over a silk screen painting as a gift for Darley. Dali reportedly threw it on the ground at the hotel and proceeded to piss all over it.

rather than get offended, Warhol supposedly loved the whole episode. Which is what we're going to do for you all tonight. If you brought your ticket printed out, we will piss on it as a memento. 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? What do you want? If you want, I will cry on it.

I will do that for you. But he will not come on it. He doesn't know how. Again, Dave fucks. We have been told. By Dave, yeah. He probably doesn't fuck. He's a virgin.

We're back to where we began. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. In the 1960s, the mayor of Figueres in Spain, Dali's hometown, asked the artist to donate a piece to the city's art museum. Instead, he declared he would donate an entire museum. Whoa. 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 still open as a very, very popular tourist structure. Bakery. Yeah. It is a bakery. They were like, we just wanted one painting. Yeah, and he was like... This took 14 years. He's all of them.

He bought Gala a castle as a retreat in the town of Pubiol, which was apparently only allowed... He was only allowed to visit her there on written invitation. Oh, okay, so things are going well. Yeah. Did you buy 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, though things weren't not going that well. His last year's were his hardest. Dali 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... the Pubial castle attended by nurses. And quoting from the Smithsonian, he needed a lot of care and attention. His incessant use of a call button caused a short circuit that set off a fire in his bed and badly burnt his leg.

He was hitting the call button so much it started a fire. Look, I'm on inside there. That feels like that's not his fault. No matter how much you call the nurse, I reckon a fire shouldn't be started. 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 good things must come to an end. And Salvador 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 kind of place he would have loved it his artistic legacy has been debated over the year 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 in his very small hometown receives over a million visitors per year wow that's cool and that's a small town, right? Basically that's the reason that people go there. Yeah, amazing. 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 had an affair with the artist while she was working as a maid for his neighbour. Wait, her father, that's going to be very hard

to prove. Two dudes. My dad. and Salvador Dali had an affair. I reckon one of them was my mum. And the judge is like, dig him up. Dig him up. I did misspeak it. It was his mother. Apparently had an affair.

But in September, the results from the... So they dug him up. They did the DNA test. The results from the DNA test revealed that Dali was not the father. But we did learn one important thing from the exhumation. His trademark mustache is intact. Whoa. Even like mummify.

According to the forensic experts who saw the body, his famous waxed mustache has remained in perfect position since his death 28 years earlier. That's amazing. Still up like that. Wow. On the like, on Salvador Scully. Really?

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 Jess 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 apologize. No. That's wild. That's great.

I love to think that that mustache is living on beyond us all. I hate it. Yuck. Why is it there? Although where does hair go? What do you mean?

Where does it go? I don't want to ask follow-up questions. Where does hair go? Where does it go? What are you mean? We ask the big questions here. Where does hair go?

That's such a fun question. Where does it go? I wish science could answer it. Sadly, they don't know. Well, never know. But that's the life of Salvador Dali. Wow. Dave Warnocki, everybody.

Thank you. Well done. What a tale. I can't look. The rhinoceros is never brought up, but... Rinosaurus. His 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 off of his name. Still annoyed by that. Well, don't make your text so big. All those heroes of his, like, you read them, like,

we were all meant to know who they were. Did you know who they? Like Picasso. Yeah. he's also in that movie see Dave what a fantastic effort wow

you've already applauded him we can't go through that again now why don't you give it up for the sass twins nothing wrong with asking for applause 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 Beer Cafe. Yeah. We got Holy Owen's out. Yeah. Emma and Vinnie are filming this thing. Thank you so much.

And to all of you for coming out, we love you. We'll see you next time. Good night. Later. And you're back with Dave. Wasn't that just a bit of fun? Honestly, it really was. Matt did say it sounded a bit like a late night show that one.

Somehow 8.30 on a Sunday night. It was honestly like we were doing 11 p. on Saturday. 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, some benefits that other people don't get, including three bonus episodes a month. We put out just for those people. There's over 100 to get through now if you want to sign up and go through the back catalogue, got a bit of time to kill. Lots of funny stuff in there, I think. You also get access to presale for any shows we're ever doing, including this one, live at the European Beer Cafe. The Patreon got first. You 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, a quote, or a question, they also get to give themselves a title. And first up this week, we have Colin and Lee Wright. Thank you, Colin and Lee, who have given themselves the titles of volunteer local guides and location scouts for the 22 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 just keep getting in the way, but hopefully the world opens up again soon and we'll be over there. And Colin and Lee, right, I can't wait to see where you think we should go. Because I guess we'll just follow your itinerary. It's just easier that way. So thank you so much. And Colin and Lee have given me a quote to read out.

I love a quote. It's 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 Harpalese to Kill a Mockingbird, and in the words of Colin Lee,

one of my favorite books which Dave did a great job covering on booksheet. 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 about how incredibly important empathy is for getting 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 thing.

Yeah, I get that. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. Until you're climbing his skin and walk around in it. It's very Hannibal Lecter-esque, isn't it? Great stuff. Thank you so much, Colin Lee. The next one comes from John Jason Matthew Luna. A fantastic name.

It's given themselves the title of Australia's first Texas Ranger and cat wrestler, in brackets, I Fear 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. Who's told us that deodorant wasn't invented until 1910. Wow, that's late. So don't time travel to before then Folks were 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 Leela and Brock I'm super proud of them both Can I do it? I'm also honestly Jason John Jason I'm happy to let your kids know Leela and Brock 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 all are 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 Touter in brackets.

It doesn't bother me how you say it, but it's a hard C.H. Like, chew, chew, chew. I nailed it, Sophie! Sophie Tuter. Who is giving themselves the nickname Triptitch Club Chef? Oh, just trying to find a way to get in early.

Oh, okay. You would like to be one of the staff out the back, helping us out. Well, okay. Obviously, the Triptych Club is something I'll introduce in a second where you get access all areas to our very exclusive club. We have some fantastic hors every week. And so if you're tutored, if you'd like to organize those, but of course you will be in a curtained-off area of the place.

We 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 Sophie Tudor is, there are only two countries in the world that are double landlocked,

meaning they are surrounded only by landlocked countries. Does anyone know them? Obviously, this would be better if I was with Matt or Jess right now. I'm going to pause for anyone at home? No, not that one. No, okay. One in Europe, yes. Lichtenstein is correct, well done.

And the other one, okay, it's one of the stands. That helps. It is Uzbekistan, 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 we'll know that we did have to edit out quite a bit of stuff. And that is Saraj Pyrrhus. Thanks, Saraj. He's given himself the title of the accidental drink thief. Huh.

Whose drink did you steal? Well, never know. Well, maybe you'll let us know. Thank you so much, Siraj. Who has given us a fact as well, and that is the royal family changed their name to sound less German. It used to be Warnocky, but anglicised it to Windsor. I did not know that.

No, he's written, no, that's not true. It used to be Saxe-Coburg Gotha. They changed it in 1917 and chose Windsor because they had ties with the English town. Aha! 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-monicus, but I think that my... On the Queen episode, Jess and I were very pro-Queen. Who knows? It's hard to keep Cannon going here on your own. You've got to attack it from all sides So thank you, Sahara, Saraj is what I mean to say

So Colin Lee, John Jason, Sophie Tudor and Saraj. And the next thing to get to is to thank a bunch of our Patreon supporters. Now you get a shout out, of course, if you are on a certain level of our Patreon. And we usually come up with something to give them a shout out, connected to the topic. And because it was a live one,

I had to cut this bit out like just on the spot. I didn't have, I had a list of some of Salvador Darlies's greatest artwork titles. I think that he was a great self-promoter, great at getting attention, if you will, by throwing himself down the stairs, but also other stuff. And I also think he's just great at 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 so on because it's a bit erotic, but one of his titles this 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

California. for naya, Patrick Villagas, Patrick Villegas. And your title is the hallucinogenic Torridor. Hallucinogenic Torridor. I think Torridor 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 hallucinogenic drugs before you get out there in your bullring. Patrick Villagas, thank you, Or Villegas. I would now like to thank from an unknown location. I can only imagine they live in the fortress of the moles, deep beneath us, Andrea Dezano.

Thank you so much, Andrea. And you can hang in the fortress of the moles. 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 Dezano. 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 Jen the 5th? Gen V, Jen the 5th. I'm not sure, but Jen, this is what you're getting. 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. the Salvador Dali-based art heist 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 Rotherglen, not the place in Victoria here in Australia where they have fantastic Parker pies, but I imagine they also have fantastic pies in Rutherglen, Scotland. And a big shout out to Chloe, Chloe, rather, Nicole Edwards. And Chloe,

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 Triptych or Triptitch Club. And I have got a few people joining us tonight. This is of course people that have been supporting the show for three consecutive years on the shoutout level And we induct them into a Hall of Fame type clubhouse where we have food we have drinks we have live music And I also try and hype them up a little bit We've got Sophie Shooter in the kitchen Of course we've got a Daliesque 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, the drink tonight, it's a classic screwdriver, orange juice and vodka, but it's not orange, it's blue. What? 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 that 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 our 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, 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 tonight.

I've got Humphry. He's my hype man. You want 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. Appreciate that. Okay.
