Speaker 1 (00:01):
There's one picture with no context and two comedians with
no clue.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
This is Picture Discuss.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
In this episode, a man sits atop of bed in
a hotel room. For the odd bits, everything in the
room is built by room key cards. Can Andrew Hamilton
and Guy Williams figure out why?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
The answer will be revealed at the end.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now here's your host, Merck Watts.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
As ready to go.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Guy Williams Andrew Hamilton, Welcome to Picture Discuss. All right, Andrew,
do you want to describe what you are seeing in
front of you?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'll give it a crack.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
So it looks like it's a guy sitting on a
bed in like a hotel room that's made of room
key cards from like the holiday Inn.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
I believe it says there yep.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
So it's it's just hundreds and hundreds or thousands of
what appears to be room key cards making up everything
in the room, including the bad the walls, the tables,
the lamps, everything, putting bar the TV screen.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Guy, in your opinion, is this a weird sex palace
that he's built for himself.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
I hate this. I hate this podcast, I hate being here.
I hate how warm is in this room. I look
at this and I just go, it's a promotional image
for some sort of shitty holiday in promotion. I'm going
to dispute the I'm going to dispute my esteemed colleague
Andrew's assumption that has room key cards. I thought it
(01:40):
was like gift vouchers or something like that. So big
for a room key card. Maybe he's a holiday and
gift vouchers. I'm going to say they do.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Look, I mean, it's it's we can see holiday in
printed there for the people listening along with this, you
can actually just make out holiday in. But I can't
tell you exactly what that card is. All I know
is that there is a bit in and that royal plastic.
And I think we've also too glossed over the fact
that this person is serial killer looking in there.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yeah you know it's a haircut.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Bro is his haircut?
Speaker 7 (02:12):
It's like he looks like a like a terrifying Anthony Ketis.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Yeah, Oh you nailed that. Yeah, Anthony Ketis. If Anthony
Ketis had like blonde highlights.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
It's horrific and it's got a weird look on the
face as well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He's too old to.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Have that haircut, you know, Like, I mean, if that
haircut was on a young boy, you'd be like, Okay,
it's a Justin Bieber, a man and is like i'd say,
late twenties at least man.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
He's pushing forty. Yeah, he's pushing forty.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I don't know. I feel so sorry for this basket's
brain actor. He's desperate.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
He wanted to me in Hollywood and instead he's in
a fucking holiday in prison made out of gift vouchers
or some sort of cards. I'll give the art department
props that they have. Considering they've got to make the
entire room out of only one material. They have done
well to create contrasts, like they've used the green, the black,
the white to like really to credit bit and a light.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's quite a war was different.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
You say, Team Andrew, Do you think this is team
Will drinking? This is a solo effort. I can can
this guy has done this.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I mean he looks like the kind of weirder that
would do it right, and he looks like he's got.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Some kind of obsessiveness to him, but he's to please.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
The reason why guy, the reason why I thought that
it was room key cards is because I'm projecting a
little bit here because I'm staying in a hotel here
in Melbourne with my girlfriend and we've just had to
ask about having a hotel break about having a girl.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
We does it, asked for our eighth room key card.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So I'm saying this, and I'm thinking, like, by the
time we check out, this may be what my room
looks like.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Ok because they're just everywhere because you do lose them.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
But he's appears to look at his face, Andrew, if
you focus on that, like he's got that kind of
like this as a smugness, but like a real self
satisfaction on that guy's face of like creep.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, he's terrible.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Like if I was in that room, I would be fearful,
very scared.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
You're an asshole here, because that's clearly a paid actor
who's like he's been told by a director to be
like that.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, what are you what's your plausible scenario? This guy's
I'm going to tell.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You why, and he's it's a very very small and
difficult detail to find the television screen on the right
hand side there. If you look at it, it's an
image of him, but in a green T shirt with
no jacket on, which means that they're actually projecting an
image on that television screen of that guy, which means
that he's somehow like it is a backstory.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
To that, you know what I mean, where you were
going with it. It's like a ghost image, you know
what I mean. This is like that.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
There's like that scene in the movie Ghost where there's
a ghost, you know, like that's you have seen the ghost.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
It's a ghost, ghost a ghost that movie Ghostbusters, were
there's a ghost. Another movie with the ghosts. Well, I'll
get another movie with the ghosts. Ghost in the Shell. Wrong,
there's no ghosts in that. There's no ghosts. There might
be a ghost the ghost the show. I've actually ever
seen Ghost of the Shell, but I'm pretty sure there's
no ghosts in it.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
I'm pretty sure there's no ghosts.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Ghost.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I haven't seen Ghosts of the Shell. I'm pretty sure
there isn't a ghost.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
I'm pretty sure it's the characters. Like the lady's name
is she's like a ghost, but she's a spy. Yeah, great.
I don't mean I don't need it for the reveals.
But you've been in jail, right, Yes? Yeah, it was
that embarrassing to say no, no, I talk about all
the time. This is reminding me of living in a
house of cards.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Well, I was involved in my crime days.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Were you would you rather be in jail or in
this fucking holiday and tea card?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Hell, I'll be honest, jail wasn't that bad. I had
a bit of good time, So send me back to
Long Bay?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Would you?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Would you rather be in jail or would you rather
be in this shitty holiday and promotional photo?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
That's what I wonder when I see a foo like this.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
It looks like a stock image that these photographers take.
And sometimes you see some of them and they're so weird.
You're like, what's going on with the photographer? The guy
that is everything all right at home?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
With some of these outlandish ideas that they come up with.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Yeah, I don't I don't think it is like these photographers,
Like these photographers are dodgy people. I think this is
a marketing company. They're marketing gift vouchers for some sort
of promo.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
See, that's what I don't reckon because the guy if
he wasn't in that photo, or if you had somebody
else in there, I'd be with you, guy, I'd be like, no, okay,
this is this is definitely just a promotional thing that's
been made by an elaborate team of people.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Right, No, this is a solo effort.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
This guy has made this out of I think room
key cards, and that then beats the question where's the glue?
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Right, where's the glue? And what does he used for glue.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
As looks hulf glue to make this abomination of an
art piece.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Well is it glue or is it just balanced on
top of each other?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
What do you say? Like a house of cards? This
is exactly what it is.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Also, the card says ah, right, it says ah, which
makes it seem like maybe it is a promotion to
some relief that you can get the holiday in.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Yeah. I actually presses me off that Merrick's disagree with me.
I hate coming on this podcast and I hate you.
Other than that, having a great time, glad to be here. Okay,
I'm going to say this is my final answer. This
is a promotional photo for the holiday and they're giving
away a lifetime supply of free holiday in stays to
(07:28):
someone in America, and this is a promotional photo they've
taken to advertise that promotion. And now I'm the winner
of the show.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I can leave now, and you what do you reckon?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I think it also is a promotion, but maybe it's.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I'm seeing the word ah, and I'm thinking it's they're saying, hey, relax,
if you lose your room key, we'll give you another.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
And it's not going to charge. We're not going to
charge you anything we've got.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
There's that problem is giving you another room. We've got
a guy that looks like Anthony Key. This bit a
murderer who's on start anyone.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Anyone in here. Again, it's an individual effort.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And there's a couple of reasons why I say that,
right is that number one, right, this is not something
that a promotional company would come up with because it's shit.
The other reason, and I support that with the fact
that if you look at the bed right and the
way the bed has actually been constructed, there is like
(08:23):
a blanket across the base of it. There's very neatly
folded in a way that you would see somebody with
really meticulous observation towards Linen would have and that's that
guy there, he would have a meticulous observation of Linen standards.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He I keep going back to him.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Look at his shoes, they're matching part of the bed. Yeah,
he's got a green T shirt which is matching him
with it as well. Right, so he is colour sincd himself.
So he's been put in that situation. But he looks
too comfortable in those classes. It's like that's part of
his world that matches his Lego Land hairstyle. Right, He's
obviously he started that with Lego as a kid. And
(09:02):
when I'm going to take this into two different forms.
Number One, I'm going to continue with the construction standards
that I've learned from Lego. Number two, I'm going to
wear the same hair as the Lego people.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yeah, okay, well I do think you've raised some strong arguments.
But I'll say this, have you not, in your career
and your long career, done some horrific promotional things where
you sharp and you're like, what the if is this?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah? I'll do that every week.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah, I know that what I'm saying, that's what this
man is stuck in promotional prison.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Emotional theory.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
If it's not that, I reckon that he is some
sort of fanatic.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
That is, why has he got all these holiday and
gift cards? I reckon.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I reckon he's either got them from staying there, no
how many times. If he lives with another person, he
can't live in another person, he'd eat them.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I'll take this doesn't have a family.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Oh, entertain this plausibility. I would say, yeah, there's a
chance that maybe he's a man who has stayed at
the holiday it lives on the holiday in for twelve
years and that and that's using this as a visual
representation for a news photo or something.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I reckon this is his I reckon, this is his hobby.
I reckon he does this full time. I don't reckon
he has another job. I reckon this is full time.
It's a record or something he's going for.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
So is this some kind of like B grade rip
off movie of like Psycho? This is instead of the
baits Motel, this is this dude at the holiday?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I mean, great promotion for the holiday into chain to
be related to the baits Motel.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I mean this is so many a bit more baitsy y.
We're not getting enough murderers.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
In Okay, I need to know the answer. Here here is
actually pushing me off, and I think I might throw hands,
Like we might have to go and find the car park?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Did they guess it right? The reveal is coming right up?
Want more pitcha discussions?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Check out our back catalog. Here we go, gentlemen, Are
we ready?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I'm more ready than I've ever been in my life.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Brian Berg, What a surprise. His name is Brian Bird.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Really, Bryan Berg is a world record holding card stack
card Yes no, here he sits in the bedroom of
the Key Card Hotel. He built a structure using over
two hundred thousand key cards. It spanned four hundred square
feet and was complete with a guest bedroom like you've
(11:22):
got anyone coming around for your psycho, a bathroom, lobby,
and decked out with full sized furniture. The Key Card
Hotel is the largest card structure Burg had ever built,
and the only one of that's kind. It was opened
to the public for a few days in two thousand
and nine in Manhattan, or to celebrate the relaunch of
twelve hundred holiday in hotels.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Thank you, Okay, thank you?
Speaker 6 (11:46):
I think I think okay.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's a compromise.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
I think that's almost a draw. It's a draw draw,
So here's a psycho. We've established that, so Merrick's correct
time that it's.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Such a weird flex.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yes, but what's interesting though, is that like it's basically
it's a it's a holiday card prison and the only
person with prison experience couldn't pick up on that.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
One. Job.
