[{"role": "system", "content": "Robert Norman Ross (October 29, 1942 \u2013 July 4, 1995) was an American painter, art instructor, and television host. He was the creator and host of \"The Joy of Painting\", an instructional television program that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS in the United States, and also aired in Canada, Latin America, and Europe. Ross went from being a public-television personality in the 1980s and 1990s to being an Internet celebrity in the 21st century, popular with fans on YouTube and many other websites. Ross was born in Daytona Beach, Florida, to Jack and Ollie Ross (a carpenter and waitress, respectively), and raised in Orlando, Florida. As a child, Ross entertained himself by caring for injured animals, purportedly including an armadillo, snake, and alligator. One of these animals, a squirrel named Peapod, was featured in a few episodes of his show. He had a half-brother, Jim, whom he mentioned in passing on his show. Ross dropped out of high school in the 9th grade to work as a carpenter with his father, Jack Ross, where he lost part of his left index finger. This, however, did not affect the way he held his palette while painting. In 1961, then 18-year-old Ross enlisted in the United States Air Force and was put into service as a medical records technician.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I was just watching Bob Ross on youtube.

What else can you tell me about Bob Ross?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Although he was a high school dropout and lost part of his left index finger doing carpentry with his dad, it never affected the way he held his paint palette."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is very interesting. So he probably took up painting at a young age?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, but before that, in 1961 he actually joined the United States Air Force as a medical records technician. I actually didn't know that myself."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Really cool. Where can I find Bob Ross episodes?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Twitch has run marathons of it in the past, and most of the episodes are available on YouTube, since I believe it is public domain content."}]
