In this episode, we travel to Paris, France, exploring The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Episode 19: "Paris, September 1908."Today’s episode introduces 9-year-old Henry (our future Indiana Jones) to the Parisian art scene, where he meets a young Norman Rockwell and a Spanish maniac named Pablo Picasso—who loves to party with sex workers and fire his gun into the air. Thrill as Henry and Norman brawl with French pimps and engage in Scooby-Doo hijinks in a graveyard. All this is framed by old Indiana Jones reminiscing about the fraud he committed on the art community. It’s a wacky romp in Paris as we see how little Henry gets one step closer to cinema’s favorite two-fisted archeologist!

Hey, Dr. Joe, no time for no! We got company! Oh! Hello, young lady. Yeah. I see you're looking at this four million dollar painting. Uh-huh. And did you know that it's actually a fraud that I held perpetrated on the art world? I've spent decades fucking with rich people just for fun. Don't even get me started on the number of fake Jackson Pollock paintings of sold over

the years. It's not easier than fighting Nazis for Jewish artifacts. Let me tell you. Welcome everyone to No Time for Love, Dr. Jones, where we follow the fictional adventures of Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr. as he bounces off of real-world history and important figures and occasionally art. For whatever reason. I am your host, Jamie Chambers, and this is my sister, baby.

So for anyone who wants to follow along with our little adventures of currently young Indiana Jones, you can go to a YouTube channel called Young Indie Restored, at least until the Disney Corporation finds out, and you can actually watch. There's one of the playlists on there called, it's called chronological order, and it literally is following along the same

order we are, because in our trek through the life of Indiana Jones, we started with him at nine years old, a leaving with his parents as his father goes on a worldwide lecture tour. And at this point, let's see, we have bounced from, we went from London to pick up his tutor. We bounced down to Egypt, where we had a murder mystery. Yeah. Then a... A sheet! Yes, then we zapped up to Morocco for adventures in child slavery.

Which was very weird. A little jaunt in marital infidelity in Italy. Which was also very weird. So at this point, you know, we've had some heavy stuff. Actually, honestly, every episode has had a serious shit going on. We've had a murder. I mean, let's see, we had a murder child slavery. And yes, abandoning your family to run off

on a romantic adventure. And then this one is kind of a comedy. This one's kind of a more goofy romp. And when you're coming into it with the other episodes weighing on you, you're not expecting it to go this way at all. No, it's very like the tone of this one is hysterically weird. Yep, so like this episode, just to give you a little peak as to what's ahead. This episode features a Spanish maniac, repeatedly firing his pistol into the air,

a nine-year-old boy hanging out with naked women in prostitutes, desecration of a corpse, and of course the aforementioned art fraud. Plus, many historical figures in this one. Oh yeah, like, like, this is gonna be the longest one of those sections we get to. And speaking of sections, I don't know, I'm making this up psycho. one of those sections we get to and speaking of sections This is the section where we talk about the plot and major story points of each episode such as they are so you're ready Always let's talk about it. So our adventure begins as always in the 1990s as for some reason

Old-ass Indiana Jones. Yes, this ancient fucking guy who wears the exact same thing every single day This is a certain bow tie his rumpled coat, but always his signature fedora and his cane his signature Fedora. And his cane. His eye patch with his glasses over. And he is this time he has wandered into an art gallery where apparently he's going to be a very high-end auction. Yeah, and we, it's never explained why he's there. Well, it's never explained why he's anywhere. Yeah. Even though, like I said, you're assuming at least unlike some of these other ones where it's like, let's see last episode It was just like he's playing pool and that makes him think about the time his mother cheated on his dad Because of physics at least this one is a little more direct like he probably came here because he heard this painting Yeah, he's like he's like I got personal history with this fucking painting

And I got to tell a random stranger about it for four straight goddamn hours I'm what she was really into that. Oh no, she gets insulin into it. So here's, so let me let's set the stage for our listeners. So you see old Indiana Jones wanders in as a number of people are remarking about a digga painting. And it is actually a very famous painting called a woman by the toilet or woman at the toilet or whatever but just basically it's a bathing woman seen from behind with a kind of arm kind of up with a sponge and she's in like a basin. Yeah an old wash tub and then old

Indie just immediately decided to start volunteering information to this pretty blonde yuppie who's just there, you know, admiring the day gone. There's a few other like fussy art people making their own comments about the painting. And she's like, you know the day gone. And he's like, yeah, I was there when this was painted. She gave me a whole new understanding of art. And then the lady was the reaction was a little like, you were there, it was painted? That's really neat.

You clearly see now, I'm old bastard. But like but like you said sheep like most people in the show old Indiana Jones has this like spell he casts over people where the mowing south talking they're like they can't leave yeah they're cornered they're trapped and for whatever reason they're excited to be there yeah like by the end of like the last one he got a like a biker mama crying over the romance of his mother. Uh, and this guy who is not his dad. And then this time, he's got this woman just like, mesmerized. And apparently, like, as we see later, like, he's followed her from the floor of the art gallery into the auction itself.

But that's it. Because the moment he starts talking, we dissolve. Because we've got, we've got like 42 minutes, you know, it's like, you know, we've been back coming for commercials. We've got to pack some shit into this one. Yeah, there's so much shit packed, so. So, in old Indies, like, picture this, France, 1908. I was on a world lecture tour with mom and dad.

And so, he immediately starts giving us like history points like the fact that George Lucas did some like I don't talk about this part much because like I'm not gonna watch all of them but every single episode of this show had like little historical documentary is that were meant to like be used in the classroom you know the whole pitch was that you would show episodes of the show in the classroom. Then you'd watch these documentaries about the people that were met in the show. So that's why, and so it's like there's always this, and they always just cram extra stuff, which is why Miss Seymour was always like, Henry, what when was that pyramid made?

And he's like, oh yeah, that was the pyramid, blah blah blah. Again, it's like, so in this case, you hear the old Indiana Jones voiceover going back home chaffed was elected president and Jack Johnson was the first black heavyweight boxing champion. Yeah, let's just throw that in. Literally nothing to do with anything else, but those are those are true historical facts, baby. They're giving it's he's like, I got to set the scene for you. So then we, we see him as Seymour taking little Henry

around just gorgeous iconic locations in Paris because as you say, the real money in this show was spent on the cinematography and the location scouting. And in this one, it was just like, he said kind of a sad goodbye to his mom as his dad whisked her off to whatever the fuck they were this time mom and dad aren't even like like in once again we're not going in the

order this aired on television but like in our order like last episode Henry really like Indiana Jones was not the main character it was actually his mom yeah whereas this one they aren't even characters they literally you see them at the very beginning fucking off to god knows where they don't even characters. They literally, you see them at the very beginning, fucking off to God knows where they don't even say, because it doesn't matter. All you need to know is that it's just Henry and Miss Seymour in Paris alone, staying in a hotel. Nope, and he's mostly bored.

Yeah, so Miss Seymour's taking him, so at the beginning, they're walking down the streets of Paris, so Henry gives some change to a dude with a monkey in a squeeze box. And he has denied delicious candies and cookies. Yeah. He was like, I would love the candy and she is like, it is too early for candy. You just had your breakfast, young man. Show me brain enhancing nutrition for you.

And then we find out that they're heading to the Louvre before it even opens They got to get there for just so that when they first unlock the doors are gonna be those people so Remember how last week Henry seemed overly fascinated with that statue of The angel cupping a woman's breasts and David yeah, and the statue there But this time he seems sort of bored by the painted titties on the wall. He literally rolls his eyes and walks away from a completely nude woman, which is displayed on network television because it's art. And this is like the second week in a row we've gotten prime time titties on display for a nine-year-old boy. Which, you know, is not the worst thing that happens to him in this episode.

We're going way farther than that in this episode. This is France, baby. So then they stroll over to the Mona Lisa, where Missymore seems horrified by the concept of the model being forced to repeatedly smile for three or straight. It's like, it just wounds her British soul. Even though it's like, you anything, about the real Mona Lisa,

that woman was spoiled and constantly entertained in order to come back and sit there for Da Vinci over and over again, which we'll talk about later. So in front of the Mona Lisa, they meet this skinny young dude, about 16 years old. And insert famous name. It's name very first

pointing here his name is Norman Norman Rockwell is staying there in front of the Mona Lisa and interestingly enough this is the first time in the show I've noted little Henry introduces himself as Indy and Miss Seymour instantly corrects him. Now I did see in the script there was a few times of there was lines that were cut where Henry referred himself as Indiana Jones and there's a few lines where one of the adults in a previous episode would just call him Indy randomly, but they never even established why ever. This is the first time he's actually saying no I am self-identifying as Indy and then she knew, no, introduce yourself probably young man, you are Henry Jones, Jr.

And he's like, that's, fuck that name. I hate that name, that is not the name, that is going to be gonna movie marquee. That is a lame name. That's my dad's name, and have you seen that guy? He's like, yeah, that guy sucks. So, yes, as you say, importantly, this is they just ran into teenage Norman Rockwell,

whose painted this is they just ran into teenage Norman Rockwell, whose painter is this scrawny kid. And they and the three apparently spend like the rest of the day studying paintings and Miss Seymour says they still have the modern art left to go. So this is where we see our first day go and Henry gets an art lesson about impressionism. And Norman says, impressionists claim it's the freshest way for an artist to see the world And this is the point where little ADHD Henry is bored as shit Because if there's one consistent character trait of young indihinid Jones is that is he cannot sit still He cannot just stand around and do nothing. He gets bored so easily Which explains why he's the professor who doesn't actually like to teach class?

He would rather get shot at by Germans So then Missymore says yeah, you even realize this may be a little much to ask Even for her so she offers to take the boys just think a little more interesting and they're like oh cool We're in Paris. This is gonna be fucking awesome and then nope cut to you. Please. Please describe They go to this like they go go to a weird ass puppet show. And it's like a moral, like a, like almost a medieval morality play with like demons and hell and.

I mean, and the two kids are like bored as shit. And there's little kids all around. Yeah, they're surrounded by like five year olds. And then like they're even Indy is the older kid and then Norman is like I'm fucking teenager. I get drunk with artists every night. Yeah, because so they're bored. But when the little demon puppets, but they pretend they loved it to miss. Yeah. Because they want to pull some bullshit. This is where the hijinks begin and they do not stop for the rest of this episode.

Yeah, this is where you get to buckle up Yes, so they sure miss Seymour that it was great, but oh well She tells him it's time to go back and write your giant fucking term paper on leader of DaVinci you nine-year-old And they were like no One more puppet show. No, yeah, we need what we need in our life is to close this fucking puppet show down Papa, I know. Yeah, we need what we need in our life is to close this fucking puppet show down Please miss Seymour and we Norman gaslight miss Seymour convinced her they want to they want to shut the puppet theater completely down see the next showing and she's got like

Letters to write and personal business to attend to and and want some peace and fucking quiet so she's, this sounds like a great idea. One hour. And she's like, you must come back to the hotel straight away and get back in your paper. So like, you know, if we're going thinking back to the last episode, she has to be thinking of this point that the child's slavery thing kind of scared him straight. Like, there's no way he would pull and he shit after what happened in Waco.

And he didn't do anything like after what happened in Waco. And he didn't do anything like the last episode in Florence. He was like, he was right. He like, at one point, he kind of ran over to a balcony, but never out of her sight. So she must be thinking, you know what? I got this kid whipped in his shape, and he saw what happens when he just run off

in a strange city. So I can just trust this wholesome Norman Rockwell fellow who would never get my young charge in any kind of trouble whatsoever. And then the shenanigans started. Never trust children. No. She is a long time teacher as naive as fuck. Well that's because she taught grown people. Well no and also to her student, previous student was his dad who didn't do any of this and never did anything interesting even once. That we know of. So having ditch Miss Seymorton,

Norman uses reverse psychology to trick Henry into going to see the real artists. Because at first, Henry's like, art, I've been doing, I've been doing with art all fucking day, dude. I would rather do anything else. But then he's like Norman's like, yeah, you're right It's probably too dangerous, you know for a little kid like you and then Indiana Jones is like Danger I'm in I love danger

Danger's my favorite so we see them walk in the streets some more you see acrobats and blacksmiths and general weirdos everywhere They stop at an art supply store so Norman can pick up some pencils and a notebook and Henry for the first time looks and Norman sketchbook and suddenly sees Like really great You know He was really good. So the first picture he sees is apparently Dr. Alfonso Rockwell, who Norman explains is the inventor of the electric chair. Now I didn't actually, this is one I didn't look up because I already have a thousand other people.

I'm just going to assume that is a correct historical fact and I'm never going to find out and I will violently defend my right to never be corrected on this. So Dr. Alfonso Rock Rockwell totally the eventually electric chair. He thought hanging was inhumane and wrecking the chair was kinder. But we learn that Norman's parents are extremely religious, only moments before the two boys are solicited by French sex workers. And Henry takes a second look at the blonde. Yeah, he's like, hey, and the blondes are like, and the prostitutes are like,

we don't give a fuck. You got money? Hey, baby. but no Norman drags them away. In fact honestly, it's like those girls are thinking like you know Well, maybe not the nine-year-old but like you know teenage boy you can get them get paid and it won't take long Yep, which is good solid business the sense right there, but nope business the sense right there. But nope. Nope. They've got places to go. There's art. This is about art, baby. Uh-huh. The boys reach their destination and grab a table nearby Beethoven is being played on another fucking accordion because it's Paris. And they spot, they spot the actual de ga, the man at a nearby table talking mad shit straight to an artist face about this guy's work. And day guys is old ass.

Describe, describe, describe day guy for us. He was just like this like, like frail Santa Claus looking dude. Yes, and day guy is absolutely fucking brutal on this younger Mastashioid artist that is looking over the piece. And then this other guy just jumps up and starts yelling. And we learn quickly, it's our next historical figure. Picasso. Pablo Picasso. So yes, that's the guy who's been shit on by DeGa is not other than Picasso himself.

And I think you all know where this is going. Pablo screams about how he can paint better than DeGa in his sleep that he could paint DeGa Into the ground and Norman Rockwell will not listen to shit about DeGa on his watch So he walks up looking yeah, so he walks up looking piss like he's gonna just like throw hands With Picasso and then Henry looks down and sees that Picasso is this fucking strapped. He has got a pistol tucked in his belt. And he looks like a goddamn man. No, he is a, and no, doesn't look.

He is an maniac. This entire episode, he is a lunatic. Which, you know, Picasso? Fair. So, so Pablo Picasso, as he loudly tells us, invites the boys to his studio to see him be the best artist in the history of all fucking goddamn time. Cause, you know, Picasso is humble. Uh-huh.

So we cut to a naked woman. Yep. Like literally, you literally see her bare ass. Yeah, in a washroom, which I found out that I own the original network airing. They actually used the cut of the scene where you couldn't see her. No, they'd literally just just cut it slightly differently So you it was after they'd pulled away from her butt cheeks But but for the home video release they were like it's fine

Because we can have bare butts on television even now, but this was pre in my pd blue So they weren't ready for butts on TV yet. Yeah, so anyway, boys get a full display. But yeah, the whole point is Indiana Jones, young Henry, nine year old Henry is just 10 feet away from a full frontal naked woman. And we are just calling it art. And he's like, I'm into art now. It's like suddenly his appreciation for artists somehow born his first site of some real in close in person TNA. Yeah, and he was also very impressed with painting. Yeah, so Henry and Norman watch and listen is Picasso,

Rance and Explains. And he's like doing this, his imitation de ga painting. At one point, you even see like this technique where his buddy brings in hot, like boiling hot water and you like sprays it on the canvas to wipe it down to get this effect that he's going for. Is this impressionist? To get that whole thing. And so Norman tells the other guy hanging out, who by the way happens to be another famous figure, but we'll talk about him later, because he's not...

I think only really mentioned by name at the end of the episode. So for now, he just knows he's just Picasso's best friend, this French dude. And so Norman tells me he really likes Picasso's paintings, but he doesn't want to see Picasso painting like other artists. He wants to just Picasso's like best friend, this French dude. And so Norman tells me he really likes Picasso's paintings, but he doesn't want to see Picasso painting like other artists. He wants to see Picasso painting like Picasso. So he gets taken into the side room to see the real shit. He pulls the canvas or the tarp off rather to reveal the actual like what we think of the Picasso,

the cubist paintings, classic Picasso shit. And Picasso walks in with a piece that looks suspiciously identical to the one we saw in the museum with Old Indie at the beginning of the episode, the woman washing herself, the woman at the toilet. And he's like, see, I can do a dig up, but he can't do one of mine. And he looked really unimpressed by the Cubism paintings by the way. Yeah. He was like, what is this?

I don't get this shit. Yeah, like a lot of people who first exposed to this kind of like, because like impressionist was already one thing because like, you know, the cycle, I mean, we'll talk about this later on, but like, yeah, the whole movement toward art was always toward realism. And then it was like, this suddenly hit that period where they started saying, well, realism is not everything. And you can capture other things through that. So that's where we get doing that.

So N.H.C. Norman himself, like once he got a good look at cubism, he's, he immediately did his own sketch. And Picasso is so impressed by Norman's quick little sketch. He signs it with his own name and just like haha so he's like I'm yeah I have a souvenir kid. And he's declared I'm hungry! So now we move along to the French police arriving at the hotel because Miss Seymour has declared Henry missing in presumed debt. Yeah yeah she was a little frantic and And in the meantime, Henry, she's just no one off party. And she's like, do you have any idea what Professor Jones is going to do to me? I will not be found. Oh, she's in

she's in bad shape. So, uh, so the fat old French inspector declares that he speaks perfect English. And then he's an expert expert kidnap heir of small children. And then she did not look very pleased with that. Yeah, she's like, a professor clues though here is really gonna solve this case. Fuck, she's like, the only person who's gonna solve this mystery is me. So back in the streets of Paris,

Picasso recruits the prostitutes to accompany them to dinner, which is going to become important. Cause he's like, we're working and he's like, you gotta eat, don't you? Come eat and party with us and oh do they they do they have a great fucking time is what they do honestly it looks like a pretty cool party it's us it's wild they go into a yeah they're walking they're walking towards the party and that's where Henry has his last little moment of reflection that maybe Miss Seymour is going to be worried about him. And his teenage older friend is like fucker. Yeah, and then the other in the other fully adult older friend is also like forget that. Because apparently it's totally cool to go like fucking hardcore party.

Well, it's the other one of the little Henry superpowers is that adults just love the shit It was like I want to bring you into every inappropriate situation that a nine-year-old should never be in like you want to You don't have a shelter life anymore, kid Like you want to see some naked chicks you want to get drunk with people in a bar until three o'clock in the morning boom Let's do it. All right, so this is Paris someone delivers a box to Picasso at the bar and Picasso has Henry open the box and he looks inside and it's like it's like wooden model airplane He's like holy smokes a Louis Bluah plane. I can never pronounce Bluah

And you see burles dancers are on the stage shaking what their mom has gave them Everyone's just having a great fucking time. Yeah, they start. Everyone gets up and starts standing. The prostitutes drag both the boys, Norman and Henry out on the dance floor. Norman's all about it. Henry's a little reluctant at first, but he gets into it.

He starts dancing with the blonde that he liked earlier. Mm-hmm. Cause, you know, blonde and mommy issues. Yeah. So anyway, and then while the boys are doing that, that's when Picasso, lean Zoda was friend and hatches his evil scheme to get one over on Old Day God.

Picasso tells his friend that he's gonna get Day God a sign, the copycat painting he did earlier that day. The one he did just to kind of make a point to Norman and Indy and I was like, no, I'm gonna trick him into signing my painting because that's how good I am. And his friend was like, that sounds terrible. Don't do it. Why are you being such a dick? Yeah, stop it. Like the whole time, even Picasso's friends are like, you're a little much. You won't just turn it down from the 11. But he never does.

Never. That is against the Picasso. Wait. All right. So we go jump back to the Parisian streets where the two pimps are checking up on the girls that Picasso dragged off earlier and they're supposed to be working. So as we make in them that money, they got to get paid and they are not happy. Yeah. Their girls should be working not having a good time. Now, right at the moment, at least, despite the fact they're ridiculously dressed this seems like a legitimate like threat These are these are criminals potentially violent criminals who are looking for yeah, these are pimps They're probably gonna they're probably gonna slap around yeah, they're gonna slap some bitches They're going to they're going to smack around you know some kids if they have to yeah these guys every every moment Those girls are not working the streets. That's money left right on the table, maybe that's Yeah, these guys are serious. Every moment those girls are not working the streets,

that's money left right on the table, baby. That's bullshit. These guys are not having any of it. And one of them is wearing a ridiculous, like, top hat, like Abraham Lincoln. And like, these guys are cartoon characters. Oh, they really are. I mean, they kind of look like the villains

from 101 Dalmatians. Yeah, like the two henchmen of the Wella de Vil, they're very, and that vibe is spot on. Yes, it really is. So imagine them as French pimps, and you pretty much got a mental picture of what we're talking about. So they jump into the bar and they confront Picasso

and his friend and to show them they miss us, one of these pimps pulls out a goddamn straight razor He unfolds it like I'm about to slice you up and then a good old fashioned bar room brawl and sews Yeah, things go around yeah, things like people are going crazy and Henry demonstrates his usual suicidal bravery Because like the pamphuk grabs his the girl he was dancing with and Henry immediately squares up and raises his fists and is ready to box and then he's just like so he grabs him and throws him across the room like a cabbage basket. You are tiny child, get out of the bar room brawl.

Which is funny, he's like you know, it's funny he's like later on, he will be the guy who could take on every single person in this room and beat them have to death Well, you gotta start somewhere. He starts getting tossed like a rag doll Now it's absolute chaos. There's punches being thrown everywhere And then and Henry just decides to grab the model airplane and just sail it through the chaos just for fun just screaming decides to grab the model airplane and just sail it through the chaos just for fun. Just screaming. It's like... Well, it wasn't like deliberate to hit someone.

No, I think it just sailed back though, because he catches it like a boomerang on the way back. So, if it did, I missed that moment. So then... So Picasso just takes one look around at this absolute madness and smiles his biggest smile and whips out his pistol and fires it into the ceiling like a goddamn maniac. And it's like what? And he screams, I love this town! And that's that's when Henry and Norman the gun is what makes him as maybe we should sleep.

Yeah, it's probably time to head out. So everybody pours out of the streets, and the two pimps are unconscious at this point. They have been knocked out by the various insanity. And Picasso screams for Henry to stay by his side. And then we have a little montage of them going a little further down the street. So we're getting later and later.

Like we're in the middle of the fucking night at this point. And Picasso was lecturing Henry about how artists are visionaries, because I guess Henry's telling him, it's like, yeah, I got to write this paper on Da Vinci. And I was supposed to be already back and I'm dead. And he's like, I don't know what I mean. I'll tell you about Da Vinci and drunk Picasso. I was like telling him. And so this is where I guess he's being inspired about how you can just corner somebody and force them to listen to lessons. He will take to heart.

But for whatever reason, he's also mesmerized with crazy apps because it's like there. So he tells him, he's like, he gives us, Picasso this Um, he's talking about how like Da Vinci imagined airplanes hundreds of years before they were invented and then on And talk about how these artists are great visionaries and this is juxtaposed by the the other artist digging through the fucking trash for food So what are they doing? He's like, no oranges is like sometimes the shop boys miss an orange. I don't want to do this. What are you talking about? I'm visionary and amazing artists are, is there hobos dumpster diving? Which for the record, this is the third time that they've eaten with Picasso in the same night because they started out one place and ordered food. He didn't get to eat it all

But he ordered his omelet and then they went into the the crazy ass fucking bar where they were getting food Yes, right now they're digging for oranges. It's like why don't you just ever stay and eat? You slow the fuck down You would actually get to eat. Alright, so Picasso continues his unhinged lecture on art by putting bicycle handles on his head to make himself into a bowl. He's like, magic! Change your one thing to the other. That is what I do. Create a new way of seeing things. And Henry points out that Picasso's art doesn't look like anything real, and which Picasso gently pushes to the side.

And he explains that all the other great artists before were always striving toward realism, but if they paint a wild horse, it will only just look like a wild horse. And with Picasso paints a horse, you might not see the horse, but you will certainly see the wildness. And Henry kind of digs it. He's into that, and not only that, but at that moment, he says the wildness line. Picasso looks over at his model, girlfriend, and they exchange a look that implies a lot of pornography. Picasso explains he's trying to give spirit a form. And like, like you said, little Henry soaks us all in very wide-eyed.

Then the dumpster diving friend says, tell you or two, tell you that Picasso told you that. And Henry explains that Miss Seymour doesn't know who that is. And that's when the hot French model says, but the one day she will and she ain't wrong. Yeah, she not wrong. I mean, actually Miss Seymour will get to know

Picasso a lot better in this episode. So the adults leave Norman and Henry. And at some point we presume like three o'clock in the morning uh you know on the streets of Paris and insisting they come to the party tomorrow night at nine o'clock not worrying for a moment that Henry would be grounded for approximately ever after you know this whole incident. But he's into it he's like I really wanted to this party. I can make it happen. Yeah so yeah so So then he sneaks into his. Yeah, we'll get about to get to that. So because we have

new because there's a whole thing that happens before they even get back. So while walking the streets of Paris at night, Henry says Picasso's paintings are stuck in his head and they look different to him now. And it's sort of like he looks out at the streets of Paris and he's like it looks different. And it's sort of like he looks out at the streets of Paris and he's like, it looks different. And Norman's like, well, they're the same. And he's like, not to me. So it's like Picasso has opened up his third eye. Like he can now see the world in this artistic way after that, after that talk that they had. And it's like, this wow, this really cool moment. And then holy shit, a pimp grabs Henry, you know,

by the shirt slams him up against a fucking wall and hoist him three feet off the ground. And then we get a hilarious, like, three stitches, like, that is literally what I have in my notes. So the guy grabs the pimp grabs him, lifts him off the ground and says, where is the girl? And the other pimp grabs Norman. And so if you like just

Setting the tone up until this point, you know, there was the bar the bar room brawl was a little silly earlier So it's like gives you a kind of it But like in terms of violence against children We're not that far away from the Moroccan slave episode where people were just straight up killed on camera And like little children being whipped and crying So seeing like these kids just being accosted in the streets is kind of like at first where people were just straight up killed on camera and like little children being whipped and crying. So seeing like these kids just being accosted in the streets is kind of like at first,

it literally did. I was like, Jesus Christ, we saw this guy with a straight razor in his hand earlier. And now he's literally threatening a nine year old. However, like he said, three stooges bullshit happens. Poked some in the eye with two fingers. Yep, he does the two finger eye poke. That causes him to drop.

So then he stomps the guy's inset and then he immediately punches him in the bread basket with all of his nine year old strength. And the guy he heals over. And just heals over. And then scrondly little Norman easily best the hardened French criminal. And they immediately are able to take off running.

And in the style of all Indiana Jones movies everything We just described gets punctuated by these little cartoony sound effects and music because it's like it's very silly and it's Mint I mean literally it was boy and to be fair there's plenty of even the later cinematic Indiana Jones it is Campy and goofy this is of that tradition so the kids Make a break for it and I like even the punch, like Indie punching this guy in this stomach sounded like an anvil being hit with a shovel. It's fucking ridiculous.

So, so the kids make a break for it and run into a graveyard. And that's where we get another taste of how silly these French pimps are. Because one of them is, do I am too scared? Oh no, the ghosts are gonna get me monomy. Which by the way, most of the time you'll see these foreigners talking in silly French accents, even though there's nobody like they do it once again for the benefit of the audience.

But at other times, they will have a foreign language of subtitles. It is just fucking like throw it at the dartboard, which one we're going with at any given moment. And it's very clear from the beginning of the episode that he cannot speak French yet. Yeah, he and Miss Seymour never even tries to speak other languages. Yeah, it's like English is superior in other language can fuck right off. Henry just got to France and French is still a little new to him. He does use a few French phrases and stuff like that, but. But it's fine because apparently everyone speaks English.

Everyone speaks English even to each other when no one else is around But it is like to do it for fun. So he's like, I'm so scared So Henry's like come here Norman and they drags him into a mausoleum to hide which turns would be a terrible idea Because suddenly he sees a skeleton and shits and fans and screams he freaks the fuck out Which is stupid because in the very first episode he was looking at a dried out mummy. Well, no, yeah, but the mummy fell on him. He still got some fucking PTSD from Ka falling on his face. And so he sees the skeleton freaks the fuck out. And then they run over there and they see the the night watchman is passed out drunk like a good little stereotype.

So since the fat old French dude is there and he's got like a white sheet pulled up over him and a bottle of wine tucked under his armpit. And that's when Henry grabs the white sheet off and wiggles his eyebrows like his new friend, the French prostitute, was doing earlier. He's like, I got an idea. Let's fuck with these guys. So, the evil pimps are getting closer to the boy's hiding spot

when suddenly there's another worldly moaning ahead Then a spectral figure with a skull face floats up from behind the bushes and the two men scream and cry And run away comically by the way like this whole scene with them is so cartoonish. Yeah, it's very funny No, it's completely ridiculous And then you know they they run off and then the two boys laugh at the cleverness revealing that they had just simply desecrated a grave. And then they throw the skull away. Grabbed a skull out of the mausoleum, tucked it under the sheet, and then lifted, then Norman lifted Henry up so they could make this spooky looking thing.

And they used the lantern to underlight it from within to make it look glowy. I mean, it was basically, I call it a reverse Scooby Doo. You know what I'm saying? So back at the hotel, Norman tells Henry, you gotta come to the party tomorrow night. And he's like, long as I can get past Miss Seymour. I'm probably dead. However, I will give Henry some creativity points

because he admittedly pulls his greatest con yet. And is one of the we're quickly learning one of Indiana Jones greatest powers. He can bullshit. Oh God. So what he does we see him creep pass I was like Miss Seymour's passed out in a chair. Clearly like parked by the front door to see if he sneaks back in and she looks worried Is shit? She even her sleep. That's the thing is like this bitch looks worn out. She's worn out and that's the thing is this the earlier episodes of really kind of warmed like originally Miss Seymour was presented as total like emotionless ice queen. But over time, he realized that she's actually got this like very maternal like thing. And she was absolutely worried sick.

And then we see later, you know, different sides of her like this. Seymour is one of the more rounded characters, honestly, she's a more well-rounded character than both the parents. Both the parents and Henry, honestly, because he doesn't really change all that much other than he just learns educational shit. Like I have learned about art. I've learned about infidelity. Yeah, he apparently does not learn to ever like just stay put, not get in trouble. Sitting still and not getting into violent trouble is not ever in the cards. So anyway, so Miss Seymour has passed out worried about us, so he manages to sneak past her.

Like a little ninja, any grabs a midnight snack, goes into his room, gets his books and papers, and then sneaks off again and goes into a different room. We're like, wait, what the fuck is he doing? So then we move ahead to the next morning. Miss Seymour wakes up, looks in Henry's bed, finds it empty, and there's like dramatic music playing, like the child is missing. What's going on?

And she's Henry, Henry. Well, Henry, and then she opens up the wardrobe only to find little Henry inside, tucked down. Sound asleep, like an angel. Where have you been? She yells, studying. Here's my divinci paper, Leonardo in the meaning of hearts. And he tells her that he was working in the wardrobe,

where it was quiet, and he must have just fallen asleep. And so it's like, he must have stayed up for two extra hours, even after that. He must have gotten zero real sleep. As he stayed up all night working on this thing so he could pull this bullshit because like having the paper convinces her that the lie is true. And the fact that he was able to crib from all the lectures that Picasso gave him about DaVinci the night before. I mean, as a con, a nine-year-old con job goes, not bad. And again, she kind of looks like she doesn't thoroughly believe him, also can't just prove it. Yeah she can't prove it and it's like and she's

just sort of relieved. And he looks at her. Am I in trouble? Am I in trouble? Am I are you going to punish me and she goes no? But then she also tells him he's not allowed to leave the room until he finishes a little book called Lay Mizorab by Victor Hugo and And he's like, great title, because you know, how miserable he is, because he wants to go to a party with artists and prostitutes and not be stuck here reading about his sad life of Jean-Veljean.

Yeah, and he sits there all day until finally. Missy Marstarts to head off to bed. Yes, then he's like, on my own. Okay. Anyway, so- Which is hilarious, then he's like on my own. Um, anyway, so, uh, which is hilarious because it's like he doesn't even give her time to like get ready for bed. He immediately jumps. No, the moment she's like, so the moment she takes her frok off, I am out. Because she told him she was like, stay up for, you can stay up for one more hour, then put yourself to bed, Henry. Yeah.

So, and he was like, oh, fuck that nonsense. He gets all of his shit and fucking climbs out the window. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, that's the thing. When the door was locked, he's like, got a time for plan B, going out the window. Yeah, she thought locking a man would be enough. But now- And said she just endangers his life much more.

So he finds him, so yeah, so he dresses for his evening out with his little chappo. And he slips out onto a ledge and nearly dies. So yeah, so he he dresses for his evening out with his little chapo and He slips out onto a ledge and nearly dies We see gorgeous views of Paris streets that imply and once again kind of giving us that hint that he look He's looking around and we get this this idea Through the camera is shooting it like that we're getting a peek at how Henry's now seeing the Parisian night with his new artists eyes And then he falls and is apparently dead getting a peek at how Henry's now seeing the Parisian night with his new artist's eyes. And then he falls and he's apparently dead.

Like it like the way it cuts away from him. Because like, something like what was it? It cuts him a seam or dropping something inside, like whatever. And like, it's very much like he falls. Then we see a book fall on the floor, which is very much. Oh, shit. He's dead. And now granted it was like he, it wasn't, he'd fell directly either. Because it's like, didn't didn't uh yeah the thing like yeah

The he was only got whatever like some kind of Trainage pipe or whatever kind of fell over So then we just seem fall out of frame and we see the book fall to the floor Which I suppose it gives us that heart-stopping moment that little Henry splattered to the ground 80 feet below But no, man. he just hit a balcony. But Miss Seymour is like suspicious. I think she heard something. And so this time she goes to check and finds out,

oh no, the window is open. He is gone. He's definitely not in the fucking wardrobe this time. Except Henry was stupid enough to leave evidence behind. But the note, he wrote down a note to himself so he wouldn't forget where he was supposed to go. And then he left the note behind. So Miss Seymour would know where to go. So now Miss Seymour is on the note. He wrote down a note to himself so he wouldn't forget where he was supposed to go. And then he left the note behind so Macymore would know where to go. So now Macymore is on the trail. She is. She's hot on the trail. No more French detectives. So Henry catches up to Norman on the streets. He's like, the world's gone crazy, Norman. First Macymore locked me up in my room,

but then I escaped and nearly fell from the rooftops. And he's like, whatever you're late. It's like, don't fucking embarrass me, dude. This is a grown-up party. It's kind of serious, is what he says. Right before they open up the door, and it's like pure lunacy. Like, everyone's in costume. Picasso's dressed like a mime.

It is absolutely ridiculous. Like, everyone's bright colors and like smoky haze everywhere. And Henry is like, this is a damn good time. Yeah, I have arrived. And so then Picasso's girlfriend offers to introduce the boys to the other Americans who are at the party. So the boys meet a dude named Conviler, who's apparently a famous art dealer. And then the guy goes like, he kisses the model's hand and then goes to kiss Henry's hand.

And he, you know, correctly snatches his hand away from the obvious pedophile. Because what the fuck? He's like, yeah, don't be weird. It was a weird scene. Like, don't get me started about that dude we were hanging out with a Morocco. It's like, I hear no, you're not kissing my hand, motherfucker. That was such a weird detail.

Anyway, standing with him is some lady named, you know, Gertrude Stein, and they're also introduced to Alice B. Tockless. Like, the names are just dropping like rain. Missymore finds the address for the party. Le Lape Agil, which is a bar. And she gets there, and she finds this stuffy kind of drinking establishment. And she's like, looking, she's like, I'm looking for a, you know, young boy and a teenage boy who have gone to a party and Immediately one of the guys there's like Picasso It's like everybody knows this is the person who's contributing to the delinquency of children. It's got to be Pablo

Yeah, it's like who else is hanging out with kids weirdo. Yeah, so now we cut you Picasso Once again drunkenly firing his gun into the ceiling and Henry's like Once again, drunkenly firing his gun into the ceiling. And Henry's like- Little lunatic. Henry's like, it's like the alama. Wee! This is awesome. I love Paris.

And then we're introduced to yet another name drop. It's some guy named Russo, nobody important. And apparently, he and Picasso have this like, neutral admiration society. And they kind of do this like, playing for the whole crowd in the room in front. And Picasso's like, tell us your ghost story and the old man gets very dramatic and begins to tell his tale of a ghost walking through the catacombs.

Just as a sinister shadow drifts through the hole, the door handle opens. And it's Miss Seymour, she pops up in dramatic fashion. And they're like, Indy literally screams her name. Like it's like simultaneously spooked by the story and fuck busted. Like all coming out all in one little moment. And then hilariously, because it's got his pistol up by his face, turns and looks at her like the camera in a sinister fucking way and says the tutor. tutor like oh shit. He is going to drill See what how about some lead poisoning bitch. Oh, so then say hello to my little friend. Blam blam No, that's not how that goes. No, it's more of a cutscene. Yeah, so we're gonna go away as a say drags

Miss Seymour off to where you soon be murdered Yeah, and at gunpoint and so so out of concern, Henry hidden and Picasso's girlfriend go over to the keyhole. Henry's genuinely worried that this lunatic's gonna kill his tutor. You know, his girl was like, no, no, nothing. It's not gonna be bad. And so we, and they're looking through the keyhole to see what's going on. Why don't you explain what we see in the inside of this room? It was Miss Seymour sitting there as Picasso yells at her not to talk or move and he's sketching her.

Yeah, he has against her will forced her to be his model. So we see him up there quickly drawing. He's amazing. God, he does not move. God, his pencil, and he's literally, she's like, can't I talk? And he's like, no, you'll leave the talking to me.

He's just like so unhinged. Her Britishness does not know how to handle a spanner turned up to 11. However, apparently Miss Seymour is way, way into art. Well, yeah, that's a thing. And it's like, and also not immune to flattery. Just the fact that he's even wanting to hurt a model and he's doing this.

You can see her trying not to smile, even while she's sitting there. And as she goes through this whole scene, it goes into a full smile toward by the end of it it has warmed her cheeks and her eyes and she is like just genuinely into it but it but it progresses because at first it's like this little little thing is he is asserting all kinds of dominance over her and she is not used to that but she kinds of gets into it yeah she kind of does, finally a man who can tame me.

I mean, she's like such. She's like strong man. Henry Jones Sr., for example. And he's like, yeah, he's like, the two boys have shown me they love art. You should let them be more independent. They will really understand art if they spend more time with me.

Because Picasso and his massive ego cannot stop talking about great Picasso is. So, Missymore threatens to call the cops and Picasso immediately can fire back. He's like, the police are like critics. They have as much to do with art as onethology does the birds. And that clever line breaks through Miss Seymour's icy heart, and that's when her first genuine smile pops up, and she is an art lover. And, um, she declares him the rudest man that she ever met and he's like when I want lessons of good manners from the English I'll ask and she just continues to smile. It's like god damn it

you're charming. Which I do not get because he doesn't come off his charming at all. He just comes off as fucking crazy crazy person. Like you should avoid him at all costs. I don't know why everybody's like. Yeah, so then she finally goes to see him because he was working so quickly, I guess she was expecting it to suck and then she's like, she sees this very nice realistic looking sketch portrait of her sitting there and she's, oh you really can draw and he's like, better than anyone alive because of course. And she says that it's beautiful. She says it's beautiful but then he does a switch of

route. He pulls the first sketch through, she was doing two drawings at once and the one behind it was a cubist version and it's still very clearly missing more. Same pose, same emotion, but it's in this like completely wild new style that Picasso's invented and her smile gets even bigger. She is like what she likes it. She's into it, because she's an art person and she realizes this is exciting and cool and he's helped her see what he's doing there. So, Miss Seymour just isn't mad anymore.

But it's still time to go. And Henry asks, but then Henry's like, I wanna once you come over here, what do you think of this painting that Picasso did the day before, the one the imitation de ga. So Picasso is over there bullshitting the art dealer, Conviler, claiming that he purchased the piece from de ga for a few hundred francs. He's trying to convince this other guy, it's a real de ga.

And this guy, you know, this guy being a guy who knows his de ga, that's part of the flex, is saying, I can paint so good, I can just imitate de ga and no one will even know yeah, so yeah, put it off as a digger Conviler offers a thousand for it, but Picasso says he couldn't possibly take such a generous sum because the piece Wasn't signed a bit convoy. He says no problem. We can get day God assigned a day. God is right We can get him out here anytime I'm Picasso agrees he'll take the thousand Franks get him out here anytime. I'm Picasso agrees he'll take the thousand francs but he demands to be there for the honor of watching DeGos sign it. Basically of course this is all part of his

fucking prank to get DeGos to sign one of his pieces to show off and flex that Picasso is the greatest and the best and the smartest and the most cleverest. And yeah the most narcissistic by far. Yes and this is where we're going to take our, this is where Indiana Jones is going to be a hero to help, to help put a pen in this guy's ego for two fucking seconds. So on the walk back, Norman gives Henry a,

a memento for their adventures, which was that cubist drawing that Picasso had signed himself and Henry folds it in Tuxedo. That's pretty cool, but he's now got a fucking Norman Rockwell signed by Picasso in his pocket. Now back in La Panna Agio, Picasso is bragging about taking down De Ga. He's like an old bull being taken down by a dashing Matador, you know, because Picasso is Spanish, you see. And his friends are calling him out for being a complete asshole.

Like, why are you going to this link? Just for your fucking ego, get over yourself, but he will not listen. He is so in love with this plan to get one over on DeGa. This is the big scene where DeGa is supposed to sign this painting for the art dealer, Cartviler, and Henry is standing there at this moment. And at one point, DeGa kind of is looking at it, he's like, like he doesn't really remember, he's like, I must

have been tired. But then he goes ahead and he leans over to Henry and he says, the pigment I use doesn't smell anything like this. So he totally knows this is not one of his paintings, but he signs it anyway. Picasso loses his goddamn mind at this point and goes on a narcissistic rant about who he's a genius and digaz and old fool and just I mean because it was it was never about money because Picasso if he wanted money he just sell his cubist work which he will not sell. He is so but it's not because it is just purely about the flex it's about the ego. So he's just

running around the room and then pissing on cart-bodies like well I'd I believe you owe everyone here in apology, but Pablo drags in the boys as witnesses like yeah You saw me you saw what it did, but they're a little over Picasso at this point. They're like no see you do shit, buddy Yeah, no didn't see a damn thing. Degas is obviously Degas Yeah, and then Norman says looks like a Deg, and it's signed by DeGa. Tint Picasso goes violently insane and probably would have shot everyone in that room dead if he wasn't stopped. So Henry decides to pull another one and maybe sprinkle a little salt in his wound and once again kick Picasso in the nuts just a little bit more. So he pulls out Norman's cubist sketch that Picasso had signed and offers

to sell it to a conviler who is absolutely delighted because Picasso does not sell any of his cubist paint and pieces whatsoever. That's why they're so fucking in demand and everyone's crazy for them because he keeps... He hordes them. He hordes them and suddenly there's this signed Picasso that he gets his hands on because it belongs to this little kid And everyone praises the sketch including Picasso's friends just because once again they were in on this plant you fucking Yeah, they're like we're really Filing Picasso over you Picasso and they were like yep, and then he starts Yeah, and then well then best of thing they start praising the sketch like only Picasso could do such a great work

And because of Picasso's ego he can't help himself so he's like yeah, it's me Sure, and then Conviler cost up a thousand francs because they kept driving the price up and but then Henry gives half of it to Picasso and half of it to Norman because he didn't want the money He just wanted to make everybody feel better and make his point. Everybody's friends again, thanks to the power of money. And we still don't know why he's there because he should have been dragged away never to return to these fucking limited. Miss Seymour was very trusting of Norman Rockwell once again. Whatever. So at the end you see Pablo lifts little Henry up

and joyous celebration of fraud. And they hug it out as we fade back into the 1990s as old as you. And he said he was like, I should be your art. Oh, yeah. I should be your art dealer. He has like, you should have me as your agent. I could, we could be making some sweet bank

because you see I am a hustler. But no. So yeah, they're hugging. And that's when we fade back into the 1990s, his old Indies' story is winding down. At this point, he's followed the yuppie blonde lady into the auction itself. And he's like, I'm not sure if Picasso ever knew, but DeGa was almost blind at the time. But DeGa was a sly old fox.

I think he knew what was going on. So in the end, the joke was on Picasso. So the woman at her toilet by DeGa hits the auction and goes and eventually sells to this Japanese businessman looking dude to for four million dollars. And they get a little private chuckle out. Yeah, yeah. And so Indy taps the the winner on the shoulders like goodbye. the the winner on the shoulders like goodbye. And the guy answers, I hope so. One day we'll be rich enough to afford a Picasso smirk smirk. Get it, get it. Because it really is a Picasso. And no one knows except old Indiana Jones and this random lady that's there at this auction for some reason. Yep. Because everyone else presumably very dead. And there we go. That's what

happened in that episode. It was weird as shit. There was so much fucking just weird. And what a tonal shift from the episodes we've been doing before. Everything's so fucking dire and serious. Like I said, murder, child slavery and a family near being torn apart. And then now we get wacky hijinks with public Picasso screaming firing his gun to the ear and and you know, pimps chasing children and the graveyard and being scared away by Scooby-Doo hijinks. Yeah, and he became friends with a young, young, young, normal rock well. So speaking of all that, that leads us perfectly into the next section This is where we go over the historical figures places lessons and artifacts featured in the episode and holy shit Yeah, this one names to chew through this one's packed

So our very first name dropped today is Edgar Degas known as for being a French artist for paintings, sculptures and drawings. Best remember it as a key figure in the Impressionist movement. And he is very very good. Personally I think I like Degas better than Picasso, but that's me. Yeah. Well, they are, you know, two different areas. Very different. And again, I like impressionist paintings. I'm a monega, but I'm certainly. I love monega.

I do, I wouldn't turn down a Degas. Somebody wanted to give me one egg on my wall. So yeah, just in brief, you know, Degas was born in Paris, studied art, traveled to Italy, to study the works of the Renaissance masters. Degas was born in Paris, studied art, traveled to Italy to study the works of the Renaissance masters. Degas actually rejected the term impressionist and preferred to be called a realist or an independent, because like in his idea, like, impressionism was realism, because it was sort of like when you first glance at something that first flash of an image you get before you've had time to

really pull in the details, that's that instant that he was trying to capture. So he didn't like impressionist. Just didn't he wasn't his thing. He loved doing experimentation with various oils and different mediums and he liked me in real like he was like a George Lucas is with movies, you know, to tie it into Indiana Jones. How George Lucas was more of a technical filmmaker doing all this fancy stuff. It was kind of like he used to up the cost to do the thing, where he blew the hot water onto it.

Like that was part of a diggaard technique to get that kind of like loose, I don't even know, I'm not a good person to describe art terms, but to soften those edges to get that impressionist look that he was going for. Like Old Indie said, diggaard suffered from deteriorating eyesight in his later years. So he actually focused way more on sculpture. And Picasso, maybe not even realizing it, but was even hinting it when he was talking about how,

he's like, he literally closed his eyes in one point and saying, DeGa feels. And it's like, because DeGa can't see shit, there's a whole other side sort of Picasso will get to a regarding vision in a second. DeGa had an extensive collection of art, including works by Delacroix, Gray, and like he had a ridiculous art collection with sold letters death. Woman at her toilet is an oil painting created by DeGa in the late 19th century, was as according to the real world is actually

painted before 1890. So the fact the idea was just according to the real world was actually painted before 1890. So the fact the idea was just popping on the scene in 1908 is historically bullshit. The painting was part of Dig-I-Dita whole series of these intimits. I mean and the idea of Spakasso was imitating this. But still. Yeah and it was a very unconventional composition. Like the woman was partially cut off by the edge of the canvas. It was not something you would normally see at the subject of a painting framed center. But it's like a weird thing. The color palette was unusual, just, you know, it's a striking painting.

There's very loose brushstrokes and it's just light and a lot of color in this piece. That painting, by the way, can now be seen in person at the art institute of Chicago. Oh very cool. Not. It's whisked away by Mr. Yamaguchi or whatever that guy's name was at the Great by. Yeah, great by. So next up was Henry's pal Norman Rockwell. You know paintings you can't get away from if you wanted to. American of all artists, or at least if you're of the boomer generation now looking back on that old 1940s and 50s nostalgia, you can't get away from the image of Norman Rockwell

America. His work graced the covers of the Saturday evening post for over four decades, which made him one of the most beloved artists in the United States and most recognizable. You can instantly tell a Rock well when you see one. He was born in 1894 in New York City. It's showed instant talent for art and made it all the way of prolific career dyed in 1978. So you were born.

He produced over 4,000 original works during his lifetime. So I made one of the most prolific artists ever. You know, he painted the four iconic images known as the Four Freedoms during War War II, which were inspired by FDR's famous speech, which earned him the presidential medal of freedom, which was the highest civilian honor ever in 1977. So the year before he died, he was granted that same one,

that same honor that Donald Trump bestowed on Rush Limbaugh. Sorry to remind you of that, but that's the first thing that popped in my head. And despite how great, and I agree that Rockwell is, his art is often dismissed to this day as sentimental and idealized and just not, you know, pushing the envelope or whatever, but fuck those guys. I think Norman Rockwell is great.

He deserves his place. Yeah, absolutely. He's also a dedicated supporter of the Boy Scouts of America and illustrated their annual calendar for over 50 years straight. Oh, he don't. There you go.

However, I don't believe there's any reason at all to believe that Rockwell was hanging out in Paris at 16 years old in 1908. Apparently alone. Yeah, just hangin' The episode, it's so implausible, it doesn't even bother to come up with the reason why. He's just 16 year old Norman Rockles

just livin' in Paris on his own. Just hangin' out in the Louvre waiting for Indiana Jones to show up. So they didn't even bother, didn't happen. All right. Now of course, the kind of center of the episode is Mr. Picasso. I mean nobody needs to be told who fucking Picasso is, but just in case you have time traveled here somewhere.

Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker. He co-founded the Cubist movement. Turned out that French dude he was hanging out with that whole episode. Was the guy he co-founded it with. And he became one of the most influential and famous artists in the 20th century. He revolutionized our in an incredible way and this episode was very much trying to show us that he was a genius just- He was also a goddamn lunatic. He was completely lunatic and maybe a bit of a prick.

He was born in 1881, like Norman Rockwell also showed an incredible talent for art in his early age. And his career spanned over 75 years because he didn't die until 1973. As an old fucker. His actual full name was Pablo Diego Oze, Francisco de Paola Juan, Nepamoncina. I came to pronounce that when Maria Delos, Rémeros, Kipersonos, Delesatisma, Trinidad Mar, Pachico, Gl Glito Ruiz y Picasso. None of that was pronounced correctly. So he just went by Pablo.

You can't say his name in a single breath. His blue period lasted from 1901 to 1904 and then his rose period until 1906. We're named after the dominant colors in his paintings during those periods. He had this one groundbreaking painting in 1907 that was like paved the way for the whole cubist movement. Also hugely prolific. They said estimated 50,000 artworks in his name, including over 1,885 paintings, over 12,000 drawings. Jesus Christ.

That's a lot. And during WWII, Picasso remained in Nazi-occupied Paris, where he continued to create art and even joined the French resistance as a member of the Communist Party. Picasso. He was, yeah. He was a lot.

He was a lot, lot. And now now we're gonna move on to that pretty lady who's a bear ass We saw in the episode Foranando Oliveye She was a French artist model writer and muse who was most famous for her relationship with Picasso During his early years in Paris She was the subject of many of his paintings and drawings and her presence was considered a huge influence in the development of his artistic style. She was born in 1881 in Paris. She had a very difficult home life in her early years and left to become an artist model because she was hot and not at all shy about taking off her clothes. Nope. She met Picasso in 1904 and became his

companion and muse for nearly seven years. Olivier later wrote memoirs about her life with Picasso and her experiences in the Bohemian Parisi and Art scene and she died in 1966, so she actually made it all the way to the 60s. She was probably a gruvious fuck ol' lady, so she started her relationship with Picasso when she was still married to another dude and she and Picasso never got married. She was considered Picasso's first great love as she appears in Minivus early works, including that famous painting that launched the Cubist movement.

She was also romantically involved with other prominent artists over the day, including Arinwara and Matisse. Ooh, good for her. She boned herself a few well-known. Yeah, she was like, I want to be in all the art. I am literally it's like she is immortal because she inspired some greats. And I can imagine how she did that inspiration. Sounds like she would. Seriously, so it sounds like a good time. Olivia's memoirs, Picasso and his friends and loving Picasso provide value. And so they're one of the reasons we know so much about what a

fucking uninhabited lunatic Picasso was, because it really gave us inside. It was like she lived with him and loved him and all that for years, especially during that part of that artistic community in the early 1900s. But their relationship ended in 1911, but they did remain in contact and Picasso continued to paint her Even after they separated so he was not so bitter that he she still inspired his artist soul even after they were part of well I mean he at some point he had to understand that he was a fucking lot. Yeah Yeah, he probably wants to why you just calm down like this Jesus. Yeah, sorry And this this episode portrayed her as being a pretty chill chick.

Pretty cool. Yeah, she was actually really calm. Yeah, she was, she was, she was warm calm, but just very into the art. I mean, she was the one who was, she, she was talking more to the boys and not at them constantly. Right. And then there was that, you know, the guy that they just hung out with. And that turned out to be Georges Brock. He was a French painter, sculptor and printmaker,

who guess what, alongside Pablo Picasso, co-founded the Cubist movement. So he really got the short shrift in this episode. Yeah, I mean, he was just like, he was just persistent. He's just like, I am Pablo's assistant instead of being like, no, this guy was a peer and a fellow artist and at the time, you know, just as big a deal.

They would have been sharing his space, not like. But you know, like he was like, oh, bring me my pants. Yeah. So like, him and Picasso kind of developed the visual language of the Cubist movement. Basically, they broke art and made something new. It's just something that only happened so often. He died in 63. Brock was also, not only for being a skilled artist,

but he also created designs for jewelry, tapestry, and stained glass. So there's a lot of, he varied off and actually cubist stained glass. Very cool. He started the French Army during World War I and was seriously wounded in 1915, which kind of fucked with his art career for a little while, but it became more colorful

and expressive after the Great War, and he distanced himself from those geometric cubist forms and got more into other styles. And it was eventually awarded the Grand Prix for painting at the 1954 Venice Biennale. Brock was an avid bird watcher and birds frequently appear as motifs in his work. Okay. Now we know a little bit more about Brock. Well, I don't even think they mentioned his name. No, they did. At the end of the episode, I caught it

where it was literally like Henry literally says, miss your Brock over there. What do you think? Like that was literally, I think the only time his name was said. I might be wrong because there was a lot of French and a lot of names There was a lot of things going on in the sepsil just a lot

So and we're not even done yet because we're gonna move on to To Daniel Henry Conviler. He was a German-born prominent art dealer collector and publisher even though they portrayed him as American and you know That's the whole thing but he actually traveled around quite a bit He played a significant role in the development of the modern European art movement, because he was a guy with money. He actually moved art around and got it seen by the people with the money. He was born in 1884 in Germany, but he moved to Paris in the early 1900s and opened an art gallery.

So him being portrayed as American doesn't seem very legit, but whatever, whatever, he became a champion of the modern artists. He was like one of the like, like he was shown in the thing like obsessed with the qubits. He really wanted to get his hands on Picasso, and include in Brock and one greece. So Matt five facts about Conviler, he is considered one of the primary promoters of the Cubist Art Movement, like without him, we might not knew who the fuck Picasso is. Because Picasso was going to lock all the shit

in a room forever. During World War I, his gallery was seized as enemy property due to his German nationality, so the French were not happy with him. Any temporarily relocated to Switzerland. In 1920, he returned to Paris and opened a new gallery, the Gallery Simont, which later became the, guess it's called the gallery, Louis Larry, which I guess is famous. And I probably said it wrong, because my French is only so-so.

And so in addition to his work as an art dealer, Conviler was also an art historian and wrote several important texts about cubism and modern art that you can read to this day. He continued working as an art dealer until his death in 1979. The oldest fuck from this list so far, you know, I was four years old. When this guy croaked and through that long and prolific career really brought a lot of important artists up to the forefront.

Very cool. So sometimes you got to respect the money man. Yeah, I had no idea who he was. Basically nothing more than a name drop and a standing there cameo we got Gertrude Stein Who is a you know being a writer that was the name that popped up for me because she's a novelist a poet playwright art collector And she is known for her development in the popularization and modernist movement in literature and art She was born in Pennsylvania in 1874 and she moved to Paris in 1903

Where she became a very prominent figure in the city's Avonthagard art scene. She hosted a salon in her home and frequented by numerous renowned artists and writers of the time. So for her, here's some interesting facts about Gertrude. Her writing style is characterized by repetition and a focus on the kind of the musicality of language. I have a lot of sort of musical rhythm to reuse. She popularized the phrase, lost generation, to describe what happened to everybody after World War One. Like there was the attitude before World War One and then the attitude after. She was friends with and collected the works of many famous artists,

including Guess What? Picasso and Henri Matisse and Wangerie. She collaborated with composer Virgil Thompson on the opera Four Saints and Three X, which premiered in 1934. And her most famous work, The Autobiography of Alice B. Tochless, is a memoir of her life written from the perspective of Dot dot dot next person Alex B. Tockless She was an American born member of the Parisian Evans guard art scene Best known for her relationship with Gertrude Stein and her involvement with the artistic and literary circles So she was born in San Francisco in 1877 and moved to Paris in 1907 where she met with and became the forever life partner of Gertrude Stein, where they stayed together

in Lesbian Bliss. And Toceless managed her estate and promoted her work posthumously. So like after Stein was gone, her, you know, all but in name wife kept her legacy alive. So Toceless played an important role in managing Stein's literary and artistic affairs. So, she's kind of like her agent and manager while they were together, including their famous salon in Paris. And then, after Stein's death, that's when Tochless published her own memoir,

titled What Is Remembered in 1963. It's also known for her cookbook, the Alice B. Tochless Cookbook, which included a recipe for hashish fudge, which is something that you and I might enjoy very much. That's awesome. Yes, a concoction of fruits, nuts, spice, and cannabis. Shwee.

We can look this recipe up and try it ourselves. A tockless converted to Catholicism later in life, and a relationship with Stein remained a source of controversy within the church. It's like, yeah, I'm sure. She never regretted loving Gertrude Stein. Following her death in 1967, she was buried next to Stein and Paris' famous cemetery that I'm not going to try to pronounce.

But she actually got to be married in spousal fashion. That's awesome. Yeah, so that's who that person was that was mentioned for a half a second in this episode. Yeah, I liked it. I liked the lesbian love affair. I dig it. And I dig that the French gave no fucks either. Definitely Paris was a lot cooler than certain other places. At least, but again, also in the scene that they were in. Yes. The avant-garde art seems a little bit easier to be. Which again, it's like we had avant-garde art scenes here in America that were just as cool. Oh, yeah.

The cool bohemian art college. Oh, yeah. Anarchists and gay people and just having cool parties and doing drugs and having way more fun than everybody else. Yeah. Riders and artists and creatives of all kinds just kind of you know millen together and sometimes like doing drugs and having lots of sex. Absolutely. And now we're going to move on to the old guy that was introduced toward the end of the episode, Henri Rousseau. Lots of

people heard about him. Kind of a famous post-impressionist painter who gained recognition for his naive dreamlike and sort of fantastical scenes, completely untrained, like no formal art training is self-taught, Russo nonetheless giant impact on modern art and was a huge influence on, guess what, Picasso and Henri Matisse. He was born in 1844 in Le Valle, France, and Rousseau worked as a customs officer before turning to painting full time in his early 40s. So he was like middle age before he really got going. He was working.

He was working. Yeah, he was a working man. Like I said, largely self-taught and developed this unique, like they call it a naive dial that sent him apart from his contemporaries, and his work gained attention and was celebrated by the avant-garde autistic community. He died in 1910, so we saw him two years before he would have croaked if it was the real world.

So here's a few little tidbits about Russo. He never traveled outside of France. Yet he painted exotic jungle-like scenes inspired by visits to botanical gardens and just illustrations from books. He uses imagination to do some really cool stuff, having never once, you know, left Western Europe or even France. His paintings were initially ridiculed by critics, who once again called him childish, and that's a fiscate. This is like think you know kids, finger paintings, you silly man, and then of course critics,

I believe Picasso had something to say about but critics early in the episode, about how the police and critics were about as useful as each other, kind of a based thing for Picasso to say. Despite his lack of formal training, Russo was a meticulous painter who really did work in his details. It may have looked like naive and childish, but it was like, it was all very much on purpose. Yeah, and it was layered. Yeah.

In 08, same as yours, our episode, Picasso held a banquet in Rousseau's honor that recognized him as an artistic genius and wanted to introduce him to this younger generation of artists, like he didn't want his old friend to be forgotten because he's about to, you know, to drop dead any day. So that, you know, Picasso did have his moments and his good side and certainly had respect for that guy. Rousseau's work has been associated with the primitivism movement, which sought to explore and celebrate non-Western artistic traditions. So the bar that we was hanging out with was actually a pretty famous cabaret, la la paixazille.

Well, it looked like a damn good time. Yeah. That bar, established in the late 19th century, played a significant role in the early 20th century art scene as it was a hub for artists, writers, and performers, contributing to the vibrant cultural scene from the Mon Mart district empire. So just a few little things. The name of the place, La Lapan, Agile, is French for the nimble rabbit. OK, do OK.

Which was a change from its original name, Cabaret de Assassin, literally Kebure of Assassins. Yeah, they're like, that seems a little. Well, apparently there was a painting by artist Anjai Giel that depicted a rabbit jumping out of a saucepan that was hung over the door so they decided the art, the name needed to go with the art. So the nimble rabbit became the name of this watering hole. The cabaret was owned and managed by Frederique Gerard, also known as Pair of Fred, Paul Fred, who was a supportive patron of the arts and encouraged emerging talents.

So like I said, we're talking at the nimble rabbit we got Picasso. We got, I'm going to mispronounce that name. So I'm not going to say it. You'll never know. It's Italian. On the ring Matisse, George Brock and just and many others. Everyone that was in this episode. And more. Picasso's painting of the same name as this place in 1905 depicts a scene inside

the cabaret and is considered one of his most important early works. It was sold for $40 million in 1989. Wow. Today, it continues to operate as a cabaret and remains a popular tourist track. We went to Paris, we could hang out in this bar. Sweet. Which actually sounds like something. Yeah, that was, that sounds rad.

Let's do it. So remember the little model airplane that was featured for 30 entire seconds? That was that guy I was trying to pronounce badly a Louis-Louis Blu-ru Blu-ru? He was a French aviator, inventor and engineer. He first achieved fame for making the first airplane flight across the English channel in 1909, which is like he had not even done yet when this episode was supposed to have taken place. This dude was born in 1918- which is like he had not even done yet when this episode was supposed to have taken place.

This dude was born in 1872 in France, came an engineer, and before he did that famous flight, he designed and built a bunch of experimental airplanes and a helicopter-like thing that totally didn't work. But everybody was trying that ever since DaVinci thought of it, the big historic flight was July 25th, 1909, and it was the blue 11 monoplane, so it's the 11th model, and it took him 36 minutes and 30 seconds to make it across the English channel. Earning him prize of a thousand pounds offered by the Daily Mail newspaper to anyone who could actually pull the shit off. So following the success, he founded this aeronautics company, which became one of the largest

manufacturers of flying war machines in Europe, and going into World War I. Okay. And his contributions to aviation extended far beyond that. So he just continued to push the edge of of the industry and the science of aviation until his death. And of course, let's see, we visited the Louvre at the beginning. Oh yeah. Might know. Now that happened, that building just happens to go back to, you know, the 12th century. One of the largest and most iconic art museums in the world. It houses an extensive collection of arts, sculptures, and artifacts that span many centuries. In the early 20th century, point where this episode was, the Louvre was already considered the major cultural center and repository of important orcs of art, which is why Miss Seymour wanted to be there, like before the doors opened, because there's a lot of Louvre to see. So it was originally built as a fortress

under the reign of Philip II and the late 12th century, then turned as a royal palace under Louis the 14th until he moved the residence to the palace of Versailles in the late 17th century. The museum officially opened the public during the French Revolution in 1793 with the collection of 537 paintings, many of which were confiscated from the royal family in the church by angry peasants who says, no, the art belongs to the people! Vive la la revuition! Yeah. In 1908, the Louvre's collection had grown to include works such as the Mona Lisa, Venice de Milo, Winged Victory, and other significant pieces. The Louvre played an important role in the development of art and art history as a discipline in the early 20th century,

and is one of the first museums to employ curators who specialized in different periods of art. You're going to be in charge of making sure we have a good collection of this period and type of work. The Louvre's iconic glass pyramid entrance was designed, was not constructed until the 1980s. In 1908, the visitors would have entered the museum through like what they call the Napoleon entrance, because the thing we know didn't happen until our lifetime. And there was also a book by Victor Hugo named Rob.

Another French dude, because poor Henry had to read. Lem is a rob. Just so you know, Victor Hugo, awesome. French poet novelist and playwright widely considered one of the most important and influential figures of French literature. Best known works include The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Le Miserable, which in case you missed the musical starring Hugh Jackman. Oh, don't bring that one. We don't want to think of that. No, Hugh Jackman wasn't the bad thing about that. He wasn't the bad thing about that. That's a whole another conversation

But the story of the novel of Liam, Mr. Robb Follows the story of a dude an ex-convict named Jean Valjean who's seeking redemption in a tone for past crimes And it's just a long sad story that goes from From one terrible thing to the. And into the French Revolution. It's one of the longest novels in the world, which is why it's so hilarious that she gave it to a nine-year-old to read in an evening. It is approximately 1500 pages in unabridged editions.

And well, you know, that's why we can't... That's why she couldn't get too mad that he wanted to escape. It's kind of fucked. The novel initially met with mixed reviews, but eventually gained widespread popularity, just for how the tragedy and many, many adaptations. Victor Hugo spent 17 years writing that book, and it was inspired by real people and events that he encountered throughout his life.

So there's this sort of mullage of stories he'd picked up in France and it's like, well, I'll just I'll just I'll turn every horrible story I've ever heard about bad things happening to good people just put it into one one novel. We'll just get it all out of the way then call it the miserable. So there you go. And boy, that was quite a section. It was. It was much longer than usual. Whew, we're almost done. Because here we get to. It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage.

It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. it's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. It's the mileage. of Henry Jones Jr. into the man and hero he will one day become. Oh, well, this one really opens that door.

Oh, yeah, no shit. Like there's a lot going on here. He kicked open that door was like, this is much nannigan's episode. So in like thinking about this in terms of like things or so, we all like again, curiosity on full display. Always wanted to see what's in the next room. Look at the thing he's not supposed to be escaping out windows. If something is too dangerous, he's got to see, do, or try it. He absolutely loves to sneak out windows.

That is something that continues on throughout the rest of his life. He'll just keep on doing that. He's very adaptable. So the moment he's thrown into a new environment or situation, he's just like, yeah. And he goes with this superpower, where these adults just fucking love this little, little, chirubic, little boy from nature.

And there's no reason for it at all. Because he's not. Yeah, he's not that interesting. I mean, there's these little moments every once in a while. Yeah, but for the most part, but very much like that. Like I said, he's able to just fit in and make himself welcome in all these situations.

He does not belong in courage, high marks again, like necessarily in zero common sense, but incredible bravery because he like, he tries to fist fight a French pimp and win. And, and, and we're one point. He just fucking like said, pokes the dude in the eye, stomps his foot, punches him in the gut and runs away. Yeah, I mean he earns some experience points in this Disapps over sure. I mean, you know, he tricks them. Yeah, that was the creativity

Yeah, a couple of different moments of creativity in this episode where he's like let's fuck with these guys and he creates the ghost We using this the skull. He was frightened of. He's like, what the scared me? I bet it'll scare these assholes too. So he scares them off. And then at the end when he helps reverse the joke on Picasso and plays a joke on the art world for the rest of time.

Yeah, I mean, that was pretty epic. We're like on his death, but he's like, I know some shit. You guys don't know. Perseverance, you know, despite being locked in his room and told this or that, he's like, I got a party to go to, bitch. We're going to do this. And he always figures out a way to get his way. And then, oh, his little trick with the closet. Like, I don't think she thoroughly bought it, but at the same time, it was very clever. He, I would once say, yeah, he is, I mean, we've demonstrated, this kid is a super genius.

He's a little ADHD genius, because I mean, he is reading at college level, at nine years old, having to write these ass term papers. He's learning multiple languages, he's learning science and physics, and he's doing physics lessons off the fucking leaning to Arapiza and the same time like in these moments where his click required to be quick-witted. He's very he comes up with all these ideas. So yes, artistic appreciation. Another thing this was like said he this was the the story that opened up his eyes opened up his eyes Even more even though he was in fucking Florence

Very recently a city I would argue is even more artistic and beautiful than Paris I've only been to Florence so I may be biased, but either way It's just like he'd already seen a ton of paintings and sculptures Like now fuck those guys. This is what opened me to art that I was a little bit too focused on my mom banging that opera dude. Yeah I mean he didn't really get to appreciate the art. Yeah and it was a little bit more about the music anyway. So but this time he it's this deeper appreciation. It's like he literally got a new way of looking at things. Oh now I understand what he's seeing when an acute is painting. Another thing he shows off is the loyalty and teamwork, which is,

you know, he's shown previous to this, but like he and Norman really hit it off and get this whole Tom Sawyer hook fin thing going on in this episode. It's very cute. Yeah. And then, and then at the same time, he pulls this little trick, which also helps throw some incredible praise at Norman, being able to pull off a completely convincing Picasso and sell it for a thousand francs. And I mean, he did it so fast. I mean, that was one of the things they were like,

he just picked it up and was like, Pichou. Yeah, so it's like we got these two artistic geniuses and Henry made sure that both of them got their thing. And he was a way to boost up his friend and he gave him the cash, even though he didn't have to. Yep. He could have just pocketed that money and been buying drugs the rest of this trip.

But instead, he gave both the artists the money. He's like, you guys need this way more than I do. I'm being taken care of. Y'all need help. Take this. Also diplomacy because like he's able to, this is another time kind of ties in with his quick thinking and creativity. But just like he

he was able to talk Picasso out of shooting everybody dead and then got him all happy again, lifting up his arms. So you know, when he when he doesn't need to poke somebody in the eye, he can sometimes talk people down. And of course, the art of lying. Oh, he is fabulous. Maybe his highest level traits so far because every episode he comes up with increasingly creative levels of bullshit. Yeah, and sells it. He can both planned lies like the whole wardrobe thing and also just like, oh, on the fly, I'm gonna come up with a shit right out of my ass lies. Yeah, he's good at it. He's a little fucking lion ninja.

And of course, there's escape artistry. Oh, he's good little fucking lion ninja. And of course there's escape artistry. Oh he's good at that too. Yeah. Again. Well, once he wasn't as good at it in the slave episode because he failed every single time. However, you learn a lot through failure in this time. He had a down. He's got it fucking down. They escape the window. He escapes from the pimps. This is where he starts really becoming his this I think is the first time. This is where he starts really becoming. This is the first time we've really seen him do some violence. And this is someone who's gonna become an intensely violent man.

But this time he just pokes a pimping the eyes, stomps his foot, punches him right in the gut. There's little bitty soft fist. And then defeated him. Defeated him easily. And to be fair fair to this little shit He does have academic diligence because even though he did blow off his homework He then stayed up all night to finish his homework. Well, yeah, because that's that's how we got to go to the party to be fair

But I got a feeling that he doesn't he always I think he always turns in his shit to miss Seymour I don't think he I have to get zero impression that he's a guy, for one thing, she won't let him because she's usually standing over him. Like, I would lock you in this room for three days and I expect a dissertation when I come back and a, and a jaw full of piss. But yeah, he's, he's, he knows that he has to do his homework.

Yep, so he does that, he completes the paper on DaVinci, pulling in some quick, clip notes from Picasso. Oh, we also get literature because he has to fucking read, we read like half of Les Miserables. Yeah. In an afternoon, or at least he pretends to,

but honestly, I think he does because he is. Yeah, he is, he is both an adventurous little kid and a fucking nerd, which he will remain. Again, the rest of his life. Yeah, he's, he is both an adventurer, a little kid, and a fucking nerd. Yeah, he's a scholar. Which he will remain, again, the rest of his life. Yeah, he's a scholar, for sure. Indiana Jones, you know, as an older guy, is a cool, tough adventure, and also a giant nerd. Who knows all the things? Yeah, he knows, he knows, he knows books.

That is a book. He's the guy who can, who pulls out the book and can tell you about the arc of the covenant. And I think that's, I think that pretty much covers it. Yeah, that's it. We did it. We did it. We have made it through. We have Indy has now leveled up. Finally, because you know, at one point he was at negative points. Yeah, he was not so in a good place. And this time we had a fun, a fun little happy adventure. We've been saying people. And speaking of
