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
group is sitting in ice buckets in the middle of
a water feature. Oh and they are shoving chilies into
their mouths. Ron Lewis and Brett Blake, we'll try to
figure out why. The reveal of what it actually is

(00:22):
will be at the end of the episode. Now here's
your host, Merrik Watts.

Speaker 2 (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.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
It's on your phone, easy as ready to go.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Bron Lewis, Brett Blake, Welcome to this episode of Picture Discuss.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Hello, Welcome, I said, welcome. It's my podcast now, guys.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Two words in and he's already copped it up.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Two words racing got to me. I couldn't handle its lights.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Great, Davy here, Blakey.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
All right, Bron you're going to be in charge of
describing the picture because brick cart.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
No, I wouldn't trust I can introduce them. Welcome, Welcome, Okay,
all right.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
What we have here is we have a number of
wooden barrels in It's what seems like a water park
that has its fenced off the water like the fountains,
and there is a heap of people watching on what
they're watching is the wooden barrels are filled with ice
water and people eating colanders full of bell peppers. It

(01:29):
looks like a competition.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Those are ice buckets that they're in there. They don't
look cold, do they, but like you know that none
of them are, like they're in Struggles Street there.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
It looks like like an ice bucket challenge of some description.
But then they've like it's like a game show or
a contest and they've stepped it up a notch by like,
I don't know those peppers hot or they do normal cats.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I think they're no that I don't. I think there's
a little bit of a kick to it. Yeah, it
doesn't feel like capsicum would have enough kind of Jeopardy
to it.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yeah, But at the same time, the bigger the chili,
the less spicy it is, so they don't look that spicy,
you know.

Speaker 6 (02:04):
I thought the idea was like maybe like they're like
their body's freezing cold and then they're eating something, so
it's like it's like a conflict of whatever. And that's
the challenge, or maybe they're in there and it's soothing
their pot, but it has.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
To be spicy, because as if you're going to watch
on just a ble of hey.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Get around it. There's a dozen people and they're eating
catskins in the bath.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Who's gone the guy that I don't like, This guy
who's taking his shoes off before got into the cold top,
but they're already getting wet.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
On the right hand side.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
To avoid his shoes getting wet, he's left them underneath
the waterfall.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, when you want to hold he wanted them wet,
they're not cold.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
But then he's also to the same guy, the guy
who's standing up on the right hand side with the
fluorescent yellow runners.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
He's standing up and he's decided that it's a tit's
out event for him. He's he's.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
Like Asian thing in Vietnam, and that all the old
guys have got their shirts rolled up, nipples out, bellies.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Out so many times I've never seen that. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
I went down this alley and this guy, this feels
like a club kissy right there on the club.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
No no, I found I found Vietnam to be a
wonderful country and anything he didn't see any of this.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
No, because I didn't go to that club that you
went to.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
I gave you the recommendation for it. I got smooth,
saw two nipples. It sounds like holiday, not me.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
I had a great tign down the alley to know
this guy really well.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
So this guy is rolled up?

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Is he?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Is he taking it more seriously or yeah, less seriously.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
It must be boiling hot to have to do that,
unless he just really likes his reckon.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
There's fountains in now. There wouldn't be fountains in the
bucket shooting.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Up their bottoms, yeah, or.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Something like that.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
So the fountains a shooting up out of the floor,
it appears, and it's raining what you presume is very
cold water. But there's like proper chunks of ice in
those that would be cold. I do have you've done
an I bus before?

Speaker 5 (04:00):
I've never done one. I've heard they're amazing. You do
them all the time. Yeah, Are you surprised that I
do ices.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
All the time?

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Not at all surprised you're not in one right now.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
You don't need an ice bath if you live in Melbourne.
Just hit it to fucking cold. It's like two degrees.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Go for swim anywhere.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Get in there.

Speaker 3 (04:16):

Speaker 6 (04:18):
I tried a health kick about two years ago, and
I it was a fucking worst idea.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Did you get did your ice bath? No? I still
haven't done an ice bath.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
I've brought big containers so I can freeze them because
I got my new place. I got a bath and
I was like, I just get some big blocks of
ice and still it myself. I bought these little silicon
molds and I stabbed it up and I haven't opened them.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Still in the garage whatever.

Speaker 6 (04:36):
And yeah, well the problem is if you go to
the back free Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:45):

Speaker 3 (04:47):

all there, so you never used it.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
I used it yet, but I got an enema.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
I beg your part.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
You know how weird was your Asian journey?

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Right? Is when they put the thing in your butt
and they put the water up there and you have
to ask, well, I don't know it was another guy.
I went in. There's another guy kissing me on the neck.

Yeah, okay, you just bullied me for no reason, then
I don't bully you were just correculate.

Speaker 5 (05:35):

you had an enema?

Speaker 4 (05:39):

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yes? Put an down, that's the problem. And he's putting
in the wrong place.

three kids.

Speaker 4 (05:52):

a very bad job.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Stop sticking things in your hole.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
Spread I mean I had to after I went to
this place. So I thought I'd do it like a
detox or whatever. And someone said, like if they get
the water thing up your ass and like it clears
all the stuff out. And I went to the place
and there's a big machine and there was like the
lady who was at reception quite attractive, not that I
noticed that, and.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
She definitely.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
I felt a bit embarrassing.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
You're there, Well, it was embarrassing because there's a big
machine and I got in the machine the wrong way.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
So I went.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
And I was I was the wrong way like that,
and she's like, what are you doing?

Yeah, well you know it's everywhere. Everyone's got a different king.
Don't yuck my arm. And but then I went on
the right way and then she gives you this like
long stick and like put some lube on it. And
she's like, and I was like, I've got to do
this myself. Do I what I thought? That was part
of hundred bucks?

Speaker 4 (06:54):

a right way for it. I don't know, but I

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I was a front wipe. It's a oh yeah, you're.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
A grub bread no, but it's not I'm not wiping,
I'm putting something in there, and then and I was
sitting down and it's you kind of like in stirrups,
you know, like and your legs are spread apart, and
then obviously your asshole was exposed and there's a gap.
And I put it up there and she's like and
I said, oh, what do I do next? And she's like, oh, well,
it's going to fill with water and then your barey explodes.

(07:39):
And I was like, what do I do now? She's like,
what do you feel like? I was like shitting and
she's like, well, shit. And I just thought it would
be like like a pump system and you just sit
there and you wouldn't know it. And then but you
all you're doing for an hour is just having violent diarrhea.
It is the most awful thing I've ever done. Like,
for an hour straight, you just have diarrhea. It was
a hose clear or is it the host was clipped,

(08:01):
but then went into this and you could see all
the stuff coming out of a little window like a
pool pump, you know when you do a backward Yeah,
you can see the water till it becomes clear.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
It was awful.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
What would you do this?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
I don't know. I thought it would be good for me.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
I went to bed for the first time in like
twenty years at five thirty pm and slept for like
sixteen hours straight.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
It was and I was to fart afterwards because you're
full of water. Yeah, And the lady is like shame
and when would you like to come back?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
And I was like never coming back again.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yeah, that is that's an atrocious experience.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
I mean, I haven't been through birth, but I'm just
going to say it's probably Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
No, you're not going to pace. It's like.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
You can't hit me if I'm on radio. No.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
But also there's like nothing. I feel like you've hit
rock bottom, so there's nothing I can do that can
hurt ear bread, So people.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Like you more like you.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
It's scary, yeah, because like there's nothing that can hurt. Yeah,
nothing to lose, So I like, you can say whatever
you want to me, and I just have to be like, ah,

Speaker 2 (09:03):
He's having a Recently, I grew the world's hottest chili,
which has got a Carolina reaper.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I bought the plant and put in the backyard and
grew it till it through to it just recently, and
then I thought it'd be funny as a challenge to
eat one, and I could only eat half of it.
It instantly burnt my mouth. So an average tie chili
is around about I think it's four hundred thousand scovill
up to four hundred thousand scoville.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
That's how they measure, That's how they measure the heat.
A Carolina reaper is two million, two million, two million.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Oh my, I look at a mask, but that's a
big job.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
So I had to buy and I swallowed it like
almost instantly, and it just burnt My.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Suffoca is like lava going down. I was like, why
did you do this? Why did you do this? You
didn't need to do this? This is so like a
couple of months ago. But who challenged you to it?

Speaker 6 (09:50):
Me?

Speaker 3 (09:51):
I only listened to idiots.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
Between you and Bratt, You're not even like I grew
it myself and let's see what will happen.

Speaker 4 (09:57):

but you did the same.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
So the dumb ship if it was out eating, yeah,
put the pen down. The ivy penis do it? I
do it now.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
I only put things down my asshole guys, and I
need to.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Okay, okay, I went too far anyway. That was the
worst experience I've had all year. It was excruciatingly painful,
and I was like literally had to lay on the ground,
and I was just begging for it to end, just begging.
I was on the ground. Within minutes, I was on
the ground. Oh God, curled up in agony.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
Was your family watching three kids going, look at dad, go,
he's a genius.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
But my kids were just like, Dad's doing some dumb
shit again, Georgie.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
My wife was just going doing some milk.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
But that's all fun, that part of the story. But
what was there?

Speaker 5 (10:40):
When did it come out at the top of the bottom?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
No, it was strangely enough, it was really really like
four hours and hours and hours.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I was still in quite a lot of this company.
I was done for hours, like probably six eight hours.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yes, and they stay. I woke up one and then
my ass caught fire. Yes, I'm gonna actually it burned
down like a forest life.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
It was awful.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
Could you would you use those chili to cook with?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
You can't.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
You can't anything, like, hey, guys, a little bit of
chili about it? You know? I reckon I'm good. I
was going to look this lava rock instead.

Speaker 6 (11:14):
You know it.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
You know, it's really really quite nice, and it's really
quite nice in a piece of pieceful process.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
When you want to get rid of them people doing
their piece.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Of process, what do you do is you just spray
a bit of that on them and it will burn
their fucking eyes out.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
Because what is pepper spray? Is that that would that
wouldn't be a million scoval would it?

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Probably? I don't know, but.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
Indirectly they were aiming for someone else, but I was
in a gain, So you're fucking in there, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 3 (11:42):
And also too, you did it in the bum.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
They got me in my third eye.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
I feel like this entire conversation has really really been
very focused on this picture. Should we actually find out
what is going on in this picture?

Speaker 3 (11:56):
For real?

Speaker 5 (11:57):
And I want to know who wins?

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Did they get it right? The reveal is coming right up.
Want more feature discussions, check out our back catalog.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
This is a peper eating competition no a surprise surprise
at Song Dynasty town in China. The temperature in the
area reaches forty degrees celsius, so the competing tourists try
to beat the heat by sitting in ice buckets in
a fountain. That sounds like a great thing to do.
That's why they're not freaking out.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I guess it's hot, it's cold.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
It's an ice bath slash chili eating competition, so it's
a bit of the both there, So we kind of
know there. And I also feel like the guy in
the foreground there, he's just he's eating.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
His first pepper there, and it's just like having goes.
This is really good start, this really really really good.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
In fact, I feel like they're all really enjoying themselves,
and I feel like none of them are eating the
Carolina Rebut.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Now, however, it is the start, They've got full calenders.
I want to see this photo in six hours, Yeah,
I want to see.

Speaker 2 (13:01):

a different use after we don't changes.
