Speaker 1 (00:01):
There's one picture with no context and two comedians with
no clue. This is Picture Discuss. In this episode, a
black and white photo of a man who has his
hands full holding luggage strapped to his back is a
fake third hand? Can Frew Blake and Chris Ryan tell
us why. The truth will be revealed at the end
(00:23):
of the episode. Now he's your host, merk.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
What thanks for joining me and my friends for Picture Discuss.
If you want to see the picture that we're going
to be talking about, it's on your phone. Easy yet,
ready to go. Chris Ryan, Prue Blake, Welcome to Picture Discuss. Prue,
please describe what is going on in this picture for everybody,
because there's a lot.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, I mean I have a pair HD and this
might be the most complicated question I've ever been asked
to try and descrub this picture. It's a man in
a gray suit. I mean it's in black and white,
but I'm assuming it's great suit. It's got a gray energy. Yeah,
your gray energy with two suitcases. And most importantly, I
(01:04):
would say for us, a belt contraption with a hand
a mannequin's hand sticking out from the top of the
butt with a hole in the middle of the hand
that leads to a pipe that connects to a collector
of probably coins that says no sale on it.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Such a weird device. Is this some sort of reverse
hand job machine? When that's it came out wrong?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Yeah, I don't know why you're asking me, But don't
you think I know how to do it?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I think you both know I'm asking reverse hand job mission.
That was my nickname in high school.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Okay, this is.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
A machine, just like is it for coins or is
it for something else? Look, I thought it was very
obvious when I saw this that this is like a
nineteen fifties sixties staugh to door salesman. He's got two
little suitcases of products that he takes door to door,
and because he's no quitter, he's got this weird contraption
(02:17):
he's rigged up, which I do find a bit disturbing.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
The no sale box.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
It's like, Okay, I didn't win you this time, but
you've got to appreciate the art.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Okay, give us a tip tip on the way out. Okay,
it's a tipping It's a tipping device, okay, as opposed
to like a standard payment device. Interesting though it does
say no sale and it is made out of metal
and it is a belt. Is this an ancient form
of male chastity belt? No, that's a machine. That's a machine.
I ever I've seen one.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I was walking through the city the other day and
a man got his phone out on his hand like
bat and tried to upskirt me. Yeah, it happened like
so regularly.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
What Yeah, but I'm going, what do you think you're going.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
To get it's hot in the middle of summer in Melbourne,
or you're going to get a is a picture of
three old bike shorts and some heat rash? Is that
really what you're asked? But I feel like this is
someone pretty.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Fun I look at your concerned with the images that
he's going to be taking and the quality that they deserve.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
To be creep present, but it's quite funny to think
you were so creepy and for what like that's why?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, you know, so you reckon this is some sort
of pervy device or something like that.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It feels bad whatever happening.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
What are people paying him for? What are they tipping service?
We'll give you money if you believe certainly very bespoke
invention isn't have you? Have you ever invented something or
thought that you've invented something, like you know, you've gone,
oh my god, I've invented. I've invented something, even if
it already was pre existing.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I'm pretty sure as a kid, I thought like I
made up mud pies like no one had done them before.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah. I made some peanuts when I was a kid.
Thought I was a genius just by getting regular peanuts
and then soaking them in vinegar because I like vinegar,
and then then just putting more salt on them than
they deserved, and then just eating them when they were
soggy in pretending to my brother that they are actually
more delicious than they were before. And he was like,
I'm not buying that, and go, no, mate, I have
something tastes to go. No, you can't have my invention.
(04:15):
You can't have any of my invention. I'm going to
eat all of them and the tears to come out
of my eyes. There's a tears of joy.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
So nuts makes quite a bit of money off of that.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Now. The funny thing is, I don't remember some vinegar
peanuts being invented in that time. I think I invented
I think he did.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I think I remember flavor peanuts coming.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I feel like that feels recent to me.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Travel you're the inventor.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Is the thing just just occurred to me? Then? Is
this like a street performer, you know, like when you
you know it's rather than having the hat on the
ground performer, maybe there's like a bag of magic. There's
a couple of cases of magic in there, and that's
the way like he does his act and he's got
this weird.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
That's a favorite.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I still remember that that great reference. They are good
days for you, mate, they can't so and and part
of that is that you know it doesn't make a
trick and then the tips come. I really do.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Love that introduction of the the art out of things
because it is wacky, right, it's wacky as and yeah,
street performers they're up for a bit of wacky and
they're not ashamed put the hand out and they and
they're not afraid of like they're just that's that's real
estate back there. You just just can't see someone doesn't
mean they don't want to give you some money.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's at the front there. He could be twirling fire,
blowing up, you know, draft balloons.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Each nipple.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
No sales still makes me go back to door to
door salesman performance.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I'm like, this is giving one man band energy that
he's gonna get out of the symbols be stamping around.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And say no sale. That's that's my question. What's the
no sale thing though, because like in first that you're
going to get a tip or a payment, but it
says no sale.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
But have we not all gone into a performance where
we've set up a joke that's never going to pay off?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
The show together?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
So much money men, then I'll turn around, it's going
to say no saale.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
We're gonna laugh their heads off, and then it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
All right them so much money.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
We've we've hypothesized on what he could have as an occupation, right,
we thought you think it's to door salesman. I feel
like it. It's I feel like it's theater or street
art or something or something performative. Yeah, I feel.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, performative or like a sex pest, yes, yeah, either way.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
We've put in cast out votes. You have to live
in yours for all. Right, let's find out exactly what
this picture is about.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Did they guess it right? The reveal is coming right up.
Want more picture discussions?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Check out our back catalog. This this invention is a
bell hops aid created ninety fifty five by an amateur inventor. Oh,
you'd never have guessed that amateur Russell Schmick. His name
is Russell E. Oaks. And it is an automatic tip
request for hotel bell hops. And it's the suitca bingo.
(07:20):
It uses a fake hand and a cash box that
could be worn around the waist to make sure no
one because you use the old I forgot card when
they came to tipping time. So he would you know,
he would absolutely receive the tip every single time, even
though if he had his hands full with their bags,
he'd still be able to take the tip.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
The third hand, I'd love if you didn't put cash
in like a siren goes off or something like something
really shaming.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, for those red hotel guests. Yeah jeep jep dropping
marble marble go there you go, mate. Well, I can't
count that because you get your hands full of my baggage.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You didn't hear it, but it was because it was
a paper note.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You're welcome, my taptain got you didn't get this up,
So there you go. We have it. Fair answer.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, not as creepy as I thought.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
No, I know it's going to be disappointed. We find
out that it's not some sort of sex device, but
you know that's not sure.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
It was just that way at some point.
