In the inaugural episode of the Picasso: Origin Story, we meet Picasso's parents. We also analyze what’s in a name (it's oddly important to this story), being useless at 38, a banana-centric business model, pigeon art (the classy kind), and the weird birth of a future legend.
We do talk about art history. But, if we're being completely honest, we talk more about prostitutes than art.
Also, Mike takes a swipe at St. Louis, Detroit, and the entire state of Alabama for some reason, while Mitch has a clear preference for the majestic bull over cats. Olé!

In a rollercoaster of an episode, we learn about mural negotiations, chicken salad sandwiches that curb masturbation, and which type of gringo is worst. Along the way, we’ll figure out which type o...
