Bob Ross

It is.

Because I'll tell you, watching you guys on the stream here, it looked like he was watching Bob Ross paint.

[laughs]

It didn't seem like you were bothered at all.

okay?

You know, hey, Kevin Harlan's being a Bob Ross, not a who's the guy you see on OC16, the guy, the painter.

He's being a Bob Ross, not that guy.

Anyway, not to take a shot at anybody.

But the late Bob Ross.

Yeah.

But the...

This text is really funny because it's like, so she's trying to find different painting manuals and she's looking, I don't know if we're going to have time to talk to all of them.

So Mr. Rogers Studio, and she's talking about Bob Ross and those kind of like painting um tv shows and then she's talking about the virtual painting the real as my as manual and then which i just had a note that says this all feels so dated actually craft and the past and then painting as manual So it's just because if we don't take, so the people, it's like weird, it's a weird form of attacks when it's like kind of choosing all these different frameworks and then figuring out what would it be to learn to become a painter if you're using this sort of like framework.

It's kind of using all these, I mean, you know, no, hopefully not that many people are using Bob Ross as an actual way of learning to paint.

But it's this idea of these, I guess they're kind of images of what painting is that get you away from what painting can be.

But yeah, I just, it was funny that she talks about Bob Ross because I know a guy, I used to work with a guy called Neil Wright and his entire career, and he's been pretty successful.

I don't know what he's up to at the moment, but he was selling a lot like five years ago or something.

His entire thing is, and I hope I'm not revealing too much, but he likes to get high.

I think he watched a lot of Bob Ross when he was high and started doing it and then realized that if you use these techniques not to make like single pictures, he basically repeats the techniques across a canvas and makes these kind of hallucinatory abstractions of landscapes where the same landscape appears almost just like a pattern across a landscape.

But, yeah.

Isn't all of life just a happy little accident, Alan? Oh, isn't it? That's what Bob Ross said.

Boy.

He's the painting guy? He's the painting guy.

Yeah, a long time.

Okay.

Bob Ross.

I mean, I'll see the memes or every so often you'll see a piece of video pop up, but I don't ever remember watching Bob Ross when he was on.

He's not too far to kill either.

He get Bob Ross every game day.

Damn, dog.

He like the five yard line when they put the school colors on each side of the yard

of some sort, right? Yeah, well, so that's where I think I started.

It was John Nagy started me, and then everybody knows Bob Ross.

I never did anything with Bob Ross, but Bob Ross learned from William Alexander.

And he was the funniest little guy.

He was a little German guy and he shouted at his canvas.

As a kid, I thought I wanted to be a painter.

But it turns out I just wanted to slap the water off a paintbrush super fast, like Bob Ross.

Hey,

Jeff.
