Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's cut is cutting the room.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm on the cutting room floor today, Amanda. Another case
of a child damaging a very expensive artwork in a gallery, yep,
at the Dutch Museum, the Rothco painting, eighty five million
dollar painting. It was what the kid do? Kids got
up and just fondled the painting as kids do, fondled it.
(00:37):
That sounds sad. Scratch scratched, the scratched, just scratched it.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
The painting gray orange on Maroon number eight by Mark Rothkoine,
one of my favorites, sustained superficial damage. That's not too bad.
But the kid, the kid has got the kid doesn't
say how old the kid was, but you know it's
It's not like one of those stop oiled douchebags go
and throw and red paint on everything so we will
have to be boring and drive electric cars. It's a
(01:06):
kid who has no control of their sense. No, but
a parent felt like a stop oil protester.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
This drives me crazy because why what parent, let's say,
kid run up and touch a painting. I don't understand
how undisciplined children are. I sound like a curmudgeon, but
I don't get how these kids can be so undisciplined.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Well, you'd imagine that they'd cover it up a little
bit more, though at least put the velvet rope around it.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I'm surprised, But not every painting is going to be that.
You can get up close and personal for the kid
to get there and presumably reach up, depending how old
the kid was, reach up and do it.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That's bad.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
How much damage did it?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Call? No, it's not bad. Officials have expressed confidence that
the painting will be able to return to public display
in the future.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
And funny, if it was Edward Munch's, you know the
screen and he's scratching it and the faces going stop.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, remember that time Edward Edward Munch's scream got stolen
by those robbers. So I imagine the robbers down the
road with it under his arm, and.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Then she'd scratch the dogs playing poker and the dogs
had just going.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
But kids, when you take them out in public, there's
always there's always.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
There's always a fear. There's always a fear. One of
the first times we thought we'd try and blood lie
and when he was earlier and we'd go to a
restaurant is a fish and chip place down the road,
and he was he went to the loo and then
he charmingly was chatting to a one at the next table.
What she didn't know when I saw, to my horror
when he stepped away, he had tomato sauce all over
his hand. He's had his hand on the back of
the jumper, chatting to her like he was a matredeer.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Isn't he delightful with a big red hand print? Oh terrible,
my son. Years ago, I was wearing in a radio
station in Brisbane and they used to do a thing
called the River Fire. Basically to make the Brisbane River
look more interesting. They put fire doctor bing brown. They
put fireworks to take the focus away from the brownness
(02:55):
of the Brisbane River. They put fireworks all around it
and it culminates were that if eighteen I think of
the time. One of the big get out of it,
the one warplane we've got. It goes down the length
of the Brisbane River and does a giant burnout and
after burn so they dump all this fuel into the
Brisbane River and it's all fire, and it's done to
(03:19):
this rock and music track. You got Phil Collins in
the air tonight and all this stuff has to be
timed out to the second. So in the broadcast studio,
we've got our music timed out. And then there was
a master clock.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
So you were working on the night.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, I was working on the night and the head
technician said, everything has to be timed out perfectly to
this master clock. Every song. When Owner of a Lonely
Heart by Yes comes on, then it's got to go
into Phil Collins in the air tonight and it was all.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Got up your face. All the songs were lined up.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
For when all the fireworks go off.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You're a radio guy, you know how to do.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
This plane comes over the top to burn drama, timing
perfection and then trip so good at the end, and
that's all he had to do. I took my son,
who at the time was four years of age and
long just to see dad at work in his workplace.
So while the tech nician was explaining all this, and
(04:18):
what do you know about technicians.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
They're quite down and the likes.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Our guys are great, but they can be a little
humorless sometimes is this guy and no one touched this clock.
And as to say that everything as he's turned his back,
I've watched Morgan put his finger through the clock face.
The clock didn't have a class or anything in front
of them. So he's put it through this.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You're one of his parents and their kids do no,
it was the kid.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Was like he just because as soon as he said,
don't touch this clock, Morgan's put his finger through there,
and it stopped the second hand for at least I
reckon two and a half seconds to three seconds tops.
It was almost like thing slowed down one thousand, two thousand,
you know, And I didn't say anything, No one noticed,
(05:07):
No one noticed anything.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And how did your sphincter go when you're watching this spectacle?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
My sphincter was just And then the tech came in
and said, that clock is three seconds out. What's happened.
So this is before this is as it's going, as
the whole thing's going to air like as it's happening.
So the master clock that we'd all timed out to
was now three seconds out the other clock. So there
was a series of clocks.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
What was the plane going to be on?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
The plane was on the master clock. That's why we
had the master clock. And they're talking to the pilot.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
But so if you're all on the same timing is
it okay? Or do some of the fireworks on another clock.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
As it turned out, a headwind slowed the plane down
a little bit, so three seconds dovetailed nicely. Wow. It
was at that point that I bought up with my
son and put his finger in did you say it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
But that didn't lots of kids fun.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That didn't go down well.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
With your after burners were going, I bet.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And for a while then my andies were going to
look like the Brisbane River. Okay, kids, that's it today.
