Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's Georgios Cuffy. You like taking your photo on your phone,
don't you you go to.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Why what have you seen? What have I done? Did
you go through my phone? It wasn't me. Someone else
took it.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
But it's not my bomb. I thought it was your armpit.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
There's a guy who's in trouble because people in the
quest for a good photo, I don't think they're realizing
the consequences of their actions.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
So there's this Spanish guy.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
He's allegedly damaged cave paintings that are thousands of years old,
so he wanted to make them pop for the photo,
so he poured water over them, so that can bring
out It's like putting a lacquer over the particular paintings.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
So these weren't etchings because water wouldn't damage. And this
was a painting.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I wouldn't have destroyed it so much.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
But it can't be good for it, but it will
make the painting stand out.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
He's got in trouble. I presume, of course.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
He's got in trouble because he's trying to do it
for social media.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
But the cave paintings.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Were made on limestone, which contains water soluble salts.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
It's like if you had a fresco.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
A fresco is painting on wet plaster, and if you
took water with the paint, the pigmentation sits into the plaster,
but if you tip water on that, you would make
the colors run.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
You know when you.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
See people at art galleries taking selfies in front of
the art, and I thought, well, that's so cheesy, But
that's how modern art is appreciated now. It gets a
whole lot of people to go and see the Mona
Lisa because they went a photo with her.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's an interesting thing.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
People don't stand there anymore and just look at paintings
that has walk up and go yep, and you just
get a photo off. You stand next with it, so
you get evidence.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
There's you doing veggie fingers in of the Monal Lisa.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
She loved it. I left the last supper alone.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
You have you ever restored anything? Like when I say
restored but broken something? I guess this is different to
breaking like a ladder. Remember that kid in that ad
that broke the laddro and he.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Was trying to yellow pages commercial so he's gluing it.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Do you remember that time there was a picture it
was a small fresco, now that we're talking about frescoes
in a small village in Spain, and it was of Jesus.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Oh, just a woman who restored it and made him
look like a potato.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I just like that.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
She took all the features away from him. Have you
ever seen the documentaries about how they restore them.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
You've got to be so careful.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
It's with tiny little cotton buds, taking away one molecule
of grime at a time. I don't know what she
did to it, but she's turned him into a potato
looking monkey.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, this is what the artist was going for. I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Also it must be the Spaniards.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
I don't know what's with the Spaniards, because now there's
another one botched restoration of a Spanish church has left
restorers and officials upset. So you got the little cherubs
at the front of the church. But they've painted them,
and the cherubs are like a little human monkey type cherrups.
They're a bit of a combo. But they've painted them

(03:07):
and as you can see, they look, they look a
little bit alarmed.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
They've given them bright red lipstick, so they've painted them white.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
And now it looks like event Sulik was dull.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, it looks they look dude.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Imagine Van Suk was dull on the news. That be alarming.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
I'd be feeling alarmed too. That high up on a
building in no clothes. No one looks good.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Remember the picture of Muntz's scream Edvard Munch, Munch, Munch,
I'm thinking of you the months Edvard Munch.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Remember his scream like he was in home alone.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yes, someone stole that one type.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
And I often wondered, as the robber is running away
with his bella clava.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
And he's got Edvard Munch the scream under his arm.
He's running down the road.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
They'd see the painting they think needs help.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
If you saw another painting of.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Dogs playing pokey some day, look relaxed, they're happy.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
If you saw some ken donat he's stealing that pokakeds
that's it? What come back tomorrow for moral Chauncey and
