Well, I mean by that we had that specific aspect
of Max personality.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Were you being asked to replic I.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Don't really know, but like we we got to pull
back the wizards curtain and commercial radio. You have what's
known as a radio coach, and we'd have a guy
from Australia who'd fly to New Zealand and tell us
how to be. I was always told I was wrong.
I was always criticized. I got thought I was arrogant
and I was just like bro, Like it was a
(01:25):
weird situation where I was like, it was twenty seventeen.
I had Spotify Premium. The listeners were listening to commercial radio.
I might literally been the listener, might definition the listener. Okay,
I'm getting as that's it.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
The arrogance, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
So Peop would come up and be like, Bro, can
you play Bruno Mars. I was like, google it, dumb mother,
we can all play Bruno Marss.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
The future is now.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
They wanted an experience of listening it with other people.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
They liked you, they like So what they did is
they as they as they told me, I need to tone
it back a bit and be list of a knob.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
And so you were given as the example.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I had to turn it back.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, an example of this is when it's not don't
be this guy.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I'm not sure which one.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I'm not sure which one, but it's surreal to be
on a podcast with you now, So for having.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Me absolutely pleasure. Right, let's get into this picture. I'm
going to throw it to you. What do you think
is going on here? Is this an accident? Is this
a deliberate act? First of all, describe the picture and
what you're seeing.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Can I describe the podcast?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
This is the worst idea for a podcast ever heard
in my heyde what is this concept?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Take an audio based.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Format and make it visual and they'll get the poor
bastard from New Zealand to describe this insane time.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
If you think this is bad, we wait for the
follow up to describe the smell.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Here with my radar here Americ Watts on his Weird podcast.
We've got four people in the photo. They look like
old timey American like gangster almost there's like an old
school like American gangster car almost in the background with
like some chromes on it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Not maybe I'm not described.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
It's the era of gangsters, like nineteen thirties, nineteen foot
I would say America. It could be Australia. I don't know,
but in New Zealand their fancy suits like that. There's
one man going into a gutter with the great pulled away.
He's been held by another man who's also holding paint,
a tin of paint or something like that, and there's
two other men. They're all laughing. They're all having a
bird laugh. If I described that well.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Enough, black and white now, I think you've described that
almost perfectly.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It appears as though he's in a drain. Is he
going in or coming out?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
You reckon? He was potentially in there.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
I think he's been lowered in by the man with
the hat who's holding the ankle of said man. I
think that they're going in there to fetch something potentially,
or I like that. You mentioned that does look like
a can of paint, but I don't know why you'd paint.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You'd paint the bottom of a drain. Yeah, it feels
like the least likely place to care about what.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's still like a waste of paint, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
It's so they're so immaculately dressed as the really maybe
we're looking at four perfectionists.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
You know. The one wrong thing about the city the
color of the bottom of the dream.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It's like people who go flying, they dress up to fly.
If you would flying, you would dress up to go.
No one dresses up anymore. You get on jet started
to go to the Gold Coast.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
And that is a strange I mean, you mentioned the
gangster element of this. It's like I had had exactly
the same thought. And it is strange that back then
the fancy of someone dressed there was a correlation with
like likeliness to bash you, I guess, whereas now if
anyone was dressed like this, like the very low likelihood
of bashing, yeah, unless unless there's like a wire from
(04:40):
their ear. I guess if you're in a suit and
then you've got a wire from your ear, you might bash, yeah,
because you could be like some sort of security personnel.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I guess.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
As as as as men, though, are we not disappointed
that we don't put this effort anymore?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Because I'm gonna look at.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
This the bottom of dreams and I really yeah, Well,
I'm just saying that, like we're doing a podcast. Yeah,
we're in a nice situation. There's no physical labor. We
could dress up Merrick's T shirt and jeans. Tom is
Chino's and a shirt You've got a little bit bigger
but still not great.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I look like dog shirts. I think here's an audio podcast.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
It's also being filmed.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I'm just getting word that we're going to zoom in
on you.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's your actual camera here, the one that that's why
it's pointing at you.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Okay, okay, But these guys here, they do look amazing,
and it makes anything you do look amazing when you're
dressed in a suit and tie.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I think the message here is be more like Merrick. Yeah,
all right, I want to just draw a bit of
attention to a small detail bottom right hand corner. That's
a sieve. So then going into the grain into the drain.
Oh yeah, and there's a screwdriver there next to the bucket.
But there's also to what appears to be some sort
of like luggage. It's like luggage, a bucket, a screwdriver.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
And see I think that again that they're correcting the
drain because like these greats what is a grade if
not a bigger sieve?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Wow, so this is just a finest.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It's the finest if so that maybe they're trying to
sift something under there.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
There's also a lot of rain on the bonnet of
the car, and there's a lot of moisture around. So
maybe it's just rained. The drains blocked, and now they're
unclogging it.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Maybe this is actually a reminder because it looks like
the I suppose the age of singing in the rain,
and maybe this is these are the cruel realities, Like
singing in the rain is all fun and good. Later
the drains clogged and then you've got to get down there.
I'll get some stuff out of it. So it's not
all singing in the rain. There's also some stuff manual
eben needs to be done.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Is when you have to unclog the drain. It's like,
you know, I live with my wife and my children, and.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You're saying there was so much pleasure.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
That is normal to live with your wife and your
childre I live.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
With my wife and my children.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, and if I hear this, it's got long hair.
So my daughter and my wife have long hair. So
the drains are constantly getting clogged with like long people's hair.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Like long hair, you're responsibility uncleaner.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, okay, so I have to pull up the great
right like that, Like these guys have the great, and
then I have to go down there and just get
that monta hair there, and it's just like it's you know,
we know what's in that. It's soap, right, it's hair.
But you know, I've got a teenage boy.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Is it all? So?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I like how this this was framed as being the
fault of the long people as you describe them in
your family, your life, who has long and the daughter.
But then as you describe the ingredients hair kind of
normal to have and normal to touch, I would say,
then soap actually quite hygienic, that that's the thing you
do to make things more hygienic.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
And then ejaculate.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Comprehension podcast more like Merrick.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
You're a man.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
It's disgusting that he took it to blame your wife
for the ejaculators to I didn't blame my wife for it.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You did.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
It's called the long people's problem, and it was actually
the short people people's problem, because that's the one doing there.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Can I say this though, and defense, I didn't. I
didn't have my head there. You had your head literally
in the gutter.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Mate, literally in the gut of the.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I will say, I live at home by myself. I'm
just known as a loser, so you don't have no
friends or family or loved ones. And and and in
my in my weird bachelor pad slash Virgin Institute for
Pornographic Researches, I never I never put anything down the
drain that's inappropriate for down the drain. Right, I guess,
I guess I can't talk about this in in a PG.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It does that. I don't have to. I should just
not talking about this.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You can, you can talk about it.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
You just say what do you want to say?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Well, well, it just we're gonna eat most of the
stuff you've said so far, any.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Except when zooming in on your nipples coming through your shirt.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I was going to say it just it always looks
gross down there. I know it's down there, and I
know in my drain it's all good. But when you
pull it up, it doesn't matter how clean you've been,
it's still well.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
This is free flow.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
This could be a sewer for all winner. We don't
know where this is, what's going on here, but they're
trying to retrieve something. Right, Let's stop off the side.
What do you reckon is valuable enough that they're prepared
to go down and drain, and there's four guys there,
and you know, one's being useful too, being useful. The
other two are just laughing. What are they trying to
retrieve from?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
And they were chucking a gun at each other and
I think it's a gun.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, there's not many things that you'd go down to
drain like that and you suit for So I'm going
to go wedding ring WHOA although America, by the way
he talks about his wife and family probably go to
that level of com these people here, I'm trying to
give you a chance to like possitively, No, I.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Don't need to worry. She doesn't listen to the podcast
and she havingowers.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
And that's the solid Well, well you're podcasting. Is your
wife going at home having long showers.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Only when they're available for down like then she's having
your shower. Have you heard the show? I'm having a
shower all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Also, you can listen to podcasts in the shower. Waterproof
speakers do exist.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Listening to a podcast in the shower never works. You
delude yourself into thinking you need some entertainment during the shower,
but you can never hear what they're saying, that's.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
A really good point. I've never thought about that. I
don't listen to anything when I'm in the shower.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I'm tried, and you can't. It's just not satisfying.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Mark.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You're supposed to be plugging podcasts. Yet, can I say,
I've got a bow speaker looks great in the shower.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I can hear everything.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, did you live on your own podcasts in the
shower while you're masturbating?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And they said, I don't need to because I've got
a family. But then I went, well, okay, let's just.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Is that what your nude body looks like? That is disgusting.
Oh my god. You should never show anyone that this
is just for someone listening in the shower.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
That's that is discover razing. Seriously, you should have undis
on even alone.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
If you said to me, I actually shower with underpants on,
I would one hundred believe that.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
He said to me that.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
If you said, Mary, I actually shower with underpants and
a white single it on, I go, of course you do.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
You can't just make up things I do and then
say to you and then say you believe them. I
haven't even been part of this.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
It's a compliment. You've got a strong character and that's
what I love about you. But your character is a
huge loser. Could this be Australia because they are well dressed,
A pureed Australia dressed that well in the nineteen thirty
nine forties.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, I would say, look the other the other giveaway
I think is maybe the car and also to the keyboard,
piano tie on the guy in the background there. I
don't know, I feel like it feels Australian to me. Really, yeah,
it feels there's a bit of joviality there. You know, Americans,
if it was an America, you know, where's the handgun? Like,
(12:00):
so that's I'm looking for what's not there. It's like
searching for a black hole.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You don't look forward to.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
You look for what's not there. There's no guns.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, I'm strong a point. Well, maybe it's America and
they're trying to get it. No, okay, I'm gonna move on.
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I tried to make a joke about why.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Is that Guys like, oh, it's getting political, it's getting political.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I've got a political answer, final answer. It's a bunch
of guys in Australia. I'd assume Melbourne and Sydney fishing
a wedding ring out of a drain in the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
While would a wedding ring fall out the window of
a car?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Don't ask questions and wrap up the podcast. These guys
have pulled over their car to help out. I assume, yeah, you.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Think they're two separate groups of bloke Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know, or they trying. And then there's a
level of matship here. There's a level of we're familiar
with each other. Here, we've got you know, there's some
matship going on there, are we ready? I find out
the true history. To be honest, I criticized guys hypothesis,
(12:59):
but I can't think of a better one wedding ring,
particularly because of the SIEV.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I think it's a pretty good guess.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Okay, so you think it's a wedding ring?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Did they guess it right? The reveal is coming right up.
Did you like this picture discussion? Share it with a
friend and check out some of our older episodes.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Believe it or not, this is actually a group of
men who were searching the drain for a lost fish
a fish on the corner of Liverpool Street in Sussex
Street and Sydney in nineteen fifty nine.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Boys, this was almost the sixties. You got.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And you're still fish, fish and drain. That's so forties.
We do know that all the men are from more Ree.
I don't know why we know that, and not why
they fish fish. However, we don't know why the fish
is there, or how it got lost or who lost it.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I'm so bad I can't leave this podcast not knowing
why there's a fish. It's a fish.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
They're going for fish in the drave Okay, look I
think maybe, I mean it's got to be an expensive fish.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Maybe you know these people have tropical fish.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Someone's accidentally flushed it nearby and they've gone, Oh, maybe
it's still like to a nearby to see if they.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Actly get the toilet.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I think what's happened is the classic case of the
goldfish is dead.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Yeah, then something. They're not actually dead, they just they
do that looks like you would you would go into
the draining your bis suit for a goldfish.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Would in the fifties you would. Now we don't have
the same priorities.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Have you ever seen the film just biggelow.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
This is actually a very pot There's a guy who
cleans the bull, who was responsible for the fish, thinks
it's dead. You go flushes it, and then all of
a sudden they get home they're like, what have you
done to the fish?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It was dead?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I flushed it. No, that's just a fish comba.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
It says, Hilarity with the boys to the drain and
then hopefully successful.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Podcast has raised more questions and answers and I'm so frustrated.
Speaker 2 (14:55):

Here with my radar here Americ Watts on his Weird podcast.
We've got four people in the photo. They look like
old timey American like gangster almost there's like an old
school like American gangster car almost in the background with
like some chromes on it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Not maybe I'm not described.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's still like a waste of paint, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
It's so they're so immaculately dressed as the really maybe
we're looking at four perfectionists.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
You know. The one wrong thing about the city the
color of the bottom of the dream.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It's like people who go flying, they dress up to fly.
If you would flying, you would dress up to go.
No one dresses up anymore. You get on jet started
to go to the Gold Coast.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
And that is a strange I mean, you mentioned the
gangster element of this. It's like I had had exactly
the same thought. And it is strange that back then
the fancy of someone dressed there was a correlation with
like likeliness to bash you, I guess, whereas now if
anyone was dressed like this, like the very low likelihood
of bashing, yeah, unless unless there's like a wire from
(04:40):
their ear. I guess if you're in a suit and
then you've got a wire from your ear, you might bash, yeah,
because you could be like some sort of security personnel.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I guess.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
As as as as men, though, are we not disappointed
that we don't put this effort anymore?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Because I'm gonna look at.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
This the bottom of dreams and I really yeah, Well,
I'm just saying that, like we're doing a podcast. Yeah,
we're in a nice situation. There's no physical labor. We
could dress up Merrick's T shirt and jeans. Tom is
Chino's and a shirt You've got a little bit bigger
but still not great.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I look like dog shirts. I think here's an audio podcast.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
It's also being filmed.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
I'm just getting word that we're going to zoom in
on you.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's your actual camera here, the one that that's why
it's pointing at you.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Okay, okay, But these guys here, they do look amazing,
and it makes anything you do look amazing when you're
dressed in a suit and tie.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I think the message here is be more like Merrick. Yeah,
all right, I want to just draw a bit of
attention to a small detail bottom right hand corner. That's
a sieve. So then going into the grain into the drain.
Oh yeah, and there's a screwdriver there next to the bucket.
But there's also to what appears to be some sort
of like luggage. It's like luggage, a bucket, a screwdriver.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
And see I think that again that they're correcting the
drain because like these greats what is a grade if
not a bigger sieve?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Wow, so this is just a finest.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It's the finest if so that maybe they're trying to
sift something under there.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
There's also a lot of rain on the bonnet of
the car, and there's a lot of moisture around. So
maybe it's just rained. The drains blocked, and now they're
unclogging it.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Maybe this is actually a reminder because it looks like
the I suppose the age of singing in the rain,
and maybe this is these are the cruel realities, Like
singing in the rain is all fun and good. Later
the drains clogged and then you've got to get down there.
I'll get some stuff out of it. So it's not
all singing in the rain. There's also some stuff manual
eben needs to be done.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Is when you have to unclog the drain. It's like,
you know, I live with my wife and my children, and.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You're saying there was so much pleasure.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
That is normal to live with your wife and your
childre I live.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
With my wife and my children.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, and if I hear this, it's got long hair.
So my daughter and my wife have long hair. So
the drains are constantly getting clogged with like long people's hair.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Like long hair, you're responsibility uncleaner.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, okay, so I have to pull up the great
right like that, Like these guys have the great, and
then I have to go down there and just get
that monta hair there, and it's just like it's you know,
we know what's in that. It's soap, right, it's hair.
But you know, I've got a teenage boy.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Is it all? So?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I like how this this was framed as being the
fault of the long people as you describe them in
your family, your life, who has long and the daughter.
But then as you describe the ingredients hair kind of
normal to have and normal to touch, I would say,
then soap actually quite hygienic, that that's the thing you
do to make things more hygienic.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
And then ejaculate.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Comprehension podcast more like Merrick.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
You're a man.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
It's disgusting that he took it to blame your wife
for the ejaculators to I didn't blame my wife for it.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You did.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
It's called the long people's problem, and it was actually
the short people people's problem, because that's the one doing there.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Can I say this though, and defense, I didn't. I
didn't have my head there. You had your head literally
in the gutter.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Mate, literally in the gut of the.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I will say, I live at home by myself. I'm
just known as a loser, so you don't have no
friends or family or loved ones. And and and in
my in my weird bachelor pad slash Virgin Institute for
Pornographic Researches, I never I never put anything down the
drain that's inappropriate for down the drain. Right, I guess,
I guess I can't talk about this in in a PG.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It does that. I don't have to. I should just
not talking about this.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You can, you can talk about it.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
You just say what do you want to say?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Well, well, it just we're gonna eat most of the
stuff you've said so far, any.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Except when zooming in on your nipples coming through your shirt.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I was going to say it just it always looks
gross down there. I know it's down there, and I
know in my drain it's all good. But when you
pull it up, it doesn't matter how clean you've been,
it's still well.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
This is free flow.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
This could be a sewer for all winner. We don't
know where this is, what's going on here, but they're
trying to retrieve something. Right, Let's stop off the side.
What do you reckon is valuable enough that they're prepared
to go down and drain, and there's four guys there,
and you know, one's being useful too, being useful. The
other two are just laughing. What are they trying to
retrieve from?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
And they were chucking a gun at each other and
I think it's a gun.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, there's not many things that you'd go down to
drain like that and you suit for So I'm going
to go wedding ring WHOA although America, by the way
he talks about his wife and family probably go to
that level of com these people here, I'm trying to
give you a chance to like possitively, No, I.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Don't need to worry. She doesn't listen to the podcast
and she havingowers.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
And that's the solid Well, well you're podcasting. Is your
wife going at home having long showers.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Only when they're available for down like then she's having
your shower. Have you heard the show? I'm having a
shower all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Also, you can listen to podcasts in the shower. Waterproof
speakers do exist.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Listening to a podcast in the shower never works. You
delude yourself into thinking you need some entertainment during the shower,
but you can never hear what they're saying, that's.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
A really good point. I've never thought about that. I
don't listen to anything when I'm in the shower.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I'm tried, and you can't. It's just not satisfying.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Mark.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You're supposed to be plugging podcasts. Yet, can I say,
I've got a bow speaker looks great in the shower.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I can hear everything.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, did you live on your own podcasts in the
shower while you're masturbating?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And they said, I don't need to because I've got
a family. But then I went, well, okay, let's just.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Is that what your nude body looks like? That is disgusting.
Oh my god. You should never show anyone that this
is just for someone listening in the shower.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
That's that is discover razing. Seriously, you should have undis
on even alone.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
If you said to me, I actually shower with underpants on,
I would one hundred believe that.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
He said to me that.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
If you said, Mary, I actually shower with underpants and
a white single it on, I go, of course you do.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
You can't just make up things I do and then
say to you and then say you believe them. I
haven't even been part of this.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
It's a compliment. You've got a strong character and that's
what I love about you. But your character is a
huge loser. Could this be Australia because they are well dressed,
A pureed Australia dressed that well in the nineteen thirty
nine forties.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, I would say, look the other the other giveaway
I think is maybe the car and also to the keyboard,
piano tie on the guy in the background there. I
don't know, I feel like it feels Australian to me. Really, yeah,
it feels there's a bit of joviality there. You know, Americans,
if it was an America, you know, where's the handgun? Like,
(12:00):
so that's I'm looking for what's not there. It's like
searching for a black hole.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You don't look forward to.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
You look for what's not there. There's no guns.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, I'm strong a point. Well, maybe it's America and
they're trying to get it. No, okay, I'm gonna move on.
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I tried to make a joke about why.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Is that Guys like, oh, it's getting political, it's getting political.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I've got a political answer, final answer. It's a bunch
of guys in Australia. I'd assume Melbourne and Sydney fishing
a wedding ring out of a drain in the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
While would a wedding ring fall out the window of
a car?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Don't ask questions and wrap up the podcast. These guys
have pulled over their car to help out. I assume, yeah, you.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Think they're two separate groups of bloke Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know, or they trying. And then there's a
level of matship here. There's a level of we're familiar
with each other. Here, we've got you know, there's some
matship going on there, are we ready? I find out
the true history. To be honest, I criticized guys hypothesis,
(12:59):
but I can't think of a better one wedding ring,
particularly because of the SIEV.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I think it's a pretty good guess.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Okay, so you think it's a wedding ring?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Did they guess it right? The reveal is coming right up.
Did you like this picture discussion? Share it with a
friend and check out some of our older episodes.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Believe it or not, this is actually a group of
men who were searching the drain for a lost fish
a fish on the corner of Liverpool Street in Sussex
Street and Sydney in nineteen fifty nine.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Boys, this was almost the sixties. You got.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And you're still fish, fish and drain. That's so forties.
We do know that all the men are from more Ree.
I don't know why we know that, and not why
they fish fish. However, we don't know why the fish
is there, or how it got lost or who lost it.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I'm so bad I can't leave this podcast not knowing
why there's a fish. It's a fish.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
They're going for fish in the drave Okay, look I
think maybe, I mean it's got to be an expensive fish.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Maybe you know these people have tropical fish.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Someone's accidentally flushed it nearby and they've gone, Oh, maybe
it's still like to a nearby to see if they.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Actly get the toilet.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I think what's happened is the classic case of the
goldfish is dead.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Yeah, then something. They're not actually dead, they just they
do that looks like you would you would go into
the draining your bis suit for a goldfish.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Would in the fifties you would. Now we don't have
the same priorities.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Have you ever seen the film just biggelow.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
This is actually a very pot There's a guy who
cleans the bull, who was responsible for the fish, thinks
it's dead. You go flushes it, and then all of
a sudden they get home they're like, what have you
done to the fish?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It was dead?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I flushed it. No, that's just a fish comba.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
It says, Hilarity with the boys to the drain and
then hopefully successful.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Podcast has raised more questions and answers and I'm so frustrated.
