He's smoking indoors, wearing sunglasses. He's clearly the Bad Boy of Pottery. And he's come here to roast modern art.
And that could be fine. Even funny. And his opening is okay, a simple 'Modern art fucking sucks!'. It's like a comedian opening with 'You know what I hate? Shopping carts!' Followed by an expectant laughter from the crowd. But the next line better be the joke.
Similarly, Tucker doesn't give this man much. Perhaps a 'hmm'. So the next line better crush. But the Bad Boy of Potter dosen't have anything! He just repeats 'It's fucking shit'. And then they sit in silence.
Or when he tells Tucker something like 'Out there in the farm, you learn some fucking hard life lessons'. When the Tuck-man follows up with a simple 'like what', the Bad Boy is caught completely off guard. Again, he has nothing!
I mean his views were silly, but it's hilarious how bad he was. Intentionally or not, Tucker completely pantsed this man without even trying.
That one was so weird to me. If he mainly works with clay, that's a very complex mixture of multiple compounds, only "elements from the periodic table" inasmuch as literally everything else is too.
Just about the only (reasonable) way to make stuff from pure(ish) elements would be with metals. Forging, stamping, casting, or machining. We can write off machining, since you need basic math for that
Also, from the earliest posts on his website, his (now deleted) Etsy page was "Ceramic Cock"
And yeas those are the titular ceramic cocks in the profile picture.
I'm all for people making whatever they want, but his current crowd (if TC is anything to go by) would drive him out for making "degenerate art" if that page was still up.
Every time Dan claimed he was depressed, bored, high, whatever blew my mind. No he isn't.
Didn't everyone go to high school with his guy? Convinced he should be the best, but reality reminds him he isn't. So clearly, reality is wrong. It must be.
"Teachers are stupid. Math is useless. I'm not dumb! Your stupid letters for numbers are dumb. That art isn't better than mine, it's not even symmetrical. I don't want a nice car because they're all trash, not because I've never had a real job and still live in my parent's house. My family hates me because of architecture, not because I'm an insufferable prick that always has to be right, but rarely is."
I agree with all that, but there were definitely some some times where he spoke so slowly, he definitely sounded like he was on something. Just the intonation and spacing between words was off and slow.
A very good friend of mine is, if not the best, certainly among the leading wood fired ceramics practitioners in our country.
I’m no expert but I’ve seen enough to have this opinion on his work:
While there are some interesting approaches to structure, the finished product appears to be painted on. And not the result of considered pot placement to take advantage of the variation in temperature of the kiln which gives the effects he appears to be chasing.
In short, it is kind of an ‘AI’/superficial approach to achieve a desired outcome.
I thought this episode was hilarious. The guy is clearly struggling but just like, tucker having this guy on who was like a drunk rambling guy. I actually laughed out loud on a lot of parts. it was so good
and letters?! in MATH?! what are letters doing in math? and I was like hell no! I won't stand for LETTERS in my math!
My Grandparents met in Boston but they didn't get married until they left.
My mom studied there, but she didn't get married until she left.
Do you see a pattern?
Fkn Fenway.
You could mash both of my gothy teens together in a supercollider and the resulting particles would
not be even a millionth as angsty as this pissy bitch.
Everyone is an idiot but him. The narcissism is so high.
His math teachers were shown up by him. Conventional art is a joke. Don’t ever get a loan you idiots (easy when you live on your parents “farm”). All art sucks except mine. I’m deep because I discuss “art” as a hate monger and live in a rural area (which still sucks and they suck).
My contrarian ways means I’ve thought about this more than you. He just makes fun of things he can’t understand or learn (like algebra).
I’ve never seen such a confident, arrogant narcissist with such a low IQ in a long time.
Carlson is such an aggravating idiot and his guest sounded like a stoner rambling about the real story. Everything is bad, everything is against him, he can see what no one else does....on and on. It's such garbage.
My favorite part of the episode wasn't that Fuentes was claiming he was a plant to make conservatives look like white supremacists, but that he was a plant to make white supremacists look stupid.

I've never met a guy who more clearly needs a hug and a therapist but who also would never accept either.
