Speaker 1 (00:01):
There's one picture with no context and two comedians with
no clue. This is Picture Discuss in this episode, and
none is running an electronic device across the head of
another woman. Ken, Kate Dolan and Mel Buddle figure out why.
The answer will be at the end of the episode.

(00:22):
Now here's your host, Merrick.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
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 as
ready to go. Kate Dolan, Melbuddle, welcome to this picture discuss.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Mel is what do we seeing in front of us?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Here?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Two less? Sorry did I win?

Speaker 5 (00:54):
Let's go into some details. So we have a picture
of I'm gonna assume a Catholic nun. She is doing
the hair of another woman who I assume is not
a nun. From her dress. It feels World War two era.
Maybe she's got like a curling iron. She's doing the

(01:17):
hair of a lady who has not seen any moisturized
I probably wasn't invented back then. And the nunn has
got a cool little smile on her face like she's
very much enjoying doing this lady's hair.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, okay, let's have a look at the female subject.
She's mega nochalon about this, isn't she She feels like
this is possibly like a daily thing. It's a routine
maybe like a security scan to enter the convent or something.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
It feels like she's this is just like part of
the daily process for this woman.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
Yeah, and she's looking very regal.

Speaker 7 (01:48):
It's also don't know why the whole picture is giving
me like a backstage foe to have an amateur production
of Macbeth, like.

Speaker 6 (01:56):
You know what I mean, Like these are the players
the players, Yeah, that's.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Actually McDuff on the road. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 7 (02:03):
Yeah, and it's it's very serious and she knows she's
about to go out there and just become a star.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
She's like, wow, my hair is being touched up. This
is cast like bonding.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Is it a hair styling thing?

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Because the device doesn't resemble anything modern in any realm?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like it doesn't it doesn't look like it's from Like
you don't immediately look at that, like I mean the
first thing I looked at it and I thought, well,
obviously I'm going to try and make it sound like
it's a deal.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Sure with an extension right straight away.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
But then I went, it doesn't actually look enough like aday,
it looks like a So I'll never mentioned that word
on the podcast. Yeah yeah, but that's would have been
my first go to is it's an electronic dildo with
a cord attached to it.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
But well it's not, is it. We don't know what
it is.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
It doesn't appear to be it's been doesn't.

Speaker 6 (02:46):
Look like mine?

Speaker 4 (02:47):
No, yeah, oh god, they it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
It doesn't. Actually, that's a really good point. It doesn't.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
It could be a heavy duty one yeah, three, like.

Speaker 7 (02:56):
An extended you know, the cord could really do so many.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Things indoor and out noor use.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
I think it might be an very early piece of
hair technology. Then the question is still in the air,
why is why is it nun hair?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
What we do now, I reckon we can take from
this image is that it's not styling because there is
no style with this woman like this styles.

Speaker 6 (03:21):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
No style?

Speaker 6 (03:22):
You jakin? No, she's the most stylish woman I've ever seen. Gorgeous, No, reallyredible.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
I can't see it. The way you do this.

Speaker 7 (03:31):
Double breasted jacket and shirt combo. She looks great, does
she don't you think she looks great.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
She looks a little bit like you.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's just a little bit. It's good lovely eye, isn't it. Really?
I think a noble knows she's.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Not extremely undiagnosed. Addie HD as well, this is a
sure of me.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
She can't make on contact. That's why she's looking at that.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I was like, that's right, it is me having my
hair permed. Okay, I don't think. My gut says to me,
it's not a beauty device. So what else could it
be and why would it be in the hands of
a nun.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Baptism electronic baptism, like a hyperspeed baptism.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
It's taken too long. This is the drive through version. Potentially,
What if.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
It's a metal like a security device, a metal detector like.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
But in the hands of a nun to see if.

Speaker 7 (04:33):
She's having any inappropriate thoughts? Perhaps, yeah, perhaps here we go, Yeah,
here we go.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
One of those pieces of technology invented in a time
when you could just say it did something, and therefore
everybody accepted it because they had a power chord. And
you say, this is an exorcist wond and it exercises demons,
and inside the mind of that woman is just pure
sex and really dirty stuff too. It's really quite full
on in there, it is, which.

Speaker 7 (05:00):
She's actually hearing the thoughts and that's why she's got
a little smirt going on.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, she's in there. That's dirty, you know, that's my
speed in there. But delete browser. Yeah, she's deleting the
mental brower, trying.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
To like she's like, you've got anything about God or
Jesus in there?

Speaker 5 (05:16):
You know?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
There's a crucifi Oh yeah, yes, and she has oh
that's I like that Nativity scene.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Oh god, yeah, just hold it.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
On there for a bit longer, Yeah, longer.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Now, butter delete this before God sees it. Yeah, yeah,
corarect So that's what it is. It's some sort of
mind warping device, a tool. There appears to be some
nuns in the background.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Too, yeah oh yes, onlookers.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's a mind orgy.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, that's what it is. So they're all they're all
a part of it. But that woman on the left
doesn't look like she's a god fearing person at all.
She looks like she's just her mind is full of filth.

Speaker 6 (05:53):
Maybe it's a witch detector, could be onto something.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, yeah, so this is the pre burning device.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yes, it's just.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
A gentle scold on the head first, just to.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Warm them up for later on. Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
She's got a barge as well, which makes me think
she's the best at doing it.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
She's really she's really quite good at I can notice,
and I do not want to.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
This is danger territory, but it does feel like that
woman there, the nurse does have a few little whiskers
on her chin there, haven't.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
We all the nun Oh yes, yes, what if she
she got caught trying to burn her whiskers off with
that device?

Speaker 4 (06:38):
And then she's like, oh no, I used to be hairdresser.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Oh yeah, yeah, And all the nun's like, oh great,
I'll get my sibby's and you can do me hair.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
And now she's like, yep, this is how we do hair,
and she's living a lie.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Isn't it possibly an electrolysis? You know, one of those
device where you burn the hairs off.

Speaker 7 (06:57):
I tried to get laser once, which do you know
what layser hair moveals?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I know what it is. I actually don't know how
it's done. Is it's a how's a go.

Speaker 7 (07:06):
In my opinion, it is the most painful torture device
that I've ever gone through, and I've gone through so
many painful torture devices.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
So I'm you know, because I've got medieval.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
But basically it's like it feels like an elastic band
like that, and it's like all of the hair cells
so that you become a dolphin.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
And and this is I presume this is not where
a bed's can I ask you?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Where a bits of skids done.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
All over all over the body wherever there's hair.

Speaker 7 (07:36):
So I have actually I actually relate really hard to
this nun here and her chin whiskers. I have got
chin whiskers that a stronger than my whole personality.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
I brought it up, Yeah, you've brought it up.

Speaker 7 (07:49):
However, in privacy, I do pluck mine in the car.
I've got no sho normal.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
It's meant to be done.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
That is where it's meant to be done.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
My wife does it. I know that my wife is
ever done that. But if she was going to do it,
which she does, she would do it.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
In the car because the light in the car is
phenomenal and you see a black hair on the side
of your face that no one has.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Bothered to tell you about. You mean, swamming around a
piece of black fishing line coming out of your face.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
It sounds like a suiture.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
And I've been making people kiss me on that cheek
and the car just shows you where it is.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
There's no hiding in there because I get them on
a man, So I'm not obviously.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Worried about that. Yeah, slow down, have been for my
entire life. Yea, So follicles on my face, don't worry.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
But I'm now at an age where and I haven't
told anybody this, including my own family, but I'm now
having to pluck hairs adam of ears and you know
where I see them. It's in the car and like
this tweets is there because you know, from my wife's
car particularly. It's just like, oh, I can get that
little guy. And they're just growing out of my earlibes
now and they never used to and now that it's

(09:04):
just like it's just bush.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah out of the yeah yeah yeah ear pubes.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, they're not like beard follicles.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
It's like weird pubes. It's like it's like dick pubes,
but coming out of my earlobs.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
It's so distincssing pubes coming out of your dick. I
would have to check okay, okay, which I wouldn't do here. No,
don't do it in the car.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
In the car where you should be doing is excellent.
That's where you check your dick pube.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
I have a hair coming out of my neck, which
I think is another lesson.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
And it regrows, it's always the same.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
And how long is it?

Speaker 7 (09:41):
Well, as long as I leave it. Like if I
left it, we could do like a little scarf.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
If you were to go on obviously, get me out
of it.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
We have been asked so many times.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
You will be Will you be able to go on
it confidently knowing that you're gonna have a pube gad
of your neck?

Speaker 5 (09:59):
You can have a break down about it around the
campfire with your camp mates and really yourself to the nation.

Speaker 7 (10:05):
Win a lot of the like gorgeous sexy women and
men on there, but they do like the shower get
me out of here. But it's just me with all
of my body hair, just like you know, finally I
can be who I meant to be.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
You could whitt all your own tweezers out of a
stick in there and then get get around the campfire
for the light.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
And every time I just go in the die room,
I'm like, guys, I've got to do this in private,
but like it's to the.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Whole and then just what's there and it really goes on.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
And they can auction your hair off for your favorite
charity fantastic, which is alopecia.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
You come full circle, which ironically, you know, given it's
in the jungles of Africa.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Now that.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
The rooms full of nuns and the subject appears to
be quite comfortable, this is possibly an initiation or even
a hazing.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Is this woman a pig?

Speaker 6 (11:08):
But here they just straighten each other's hair.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Is that what they do?

Speaker 7 (11:12):
Oxford and Cambridge? Well, it's notoriously Oxford. You know they
say that Boris Johnson, our old prime minister.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
Has sucked up.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Really yeah, is this alleged.

Speaker 7 (11:27):
An alleged sexual encounter with a pig? And I don't
know about the consensual And.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Then you get to run the run the country.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Who wants around the country where you have.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
To and then he goes I've already done it.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
That's a weird initiation. He would just usually just like
make you poor beer on your own head.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
It's so much to asshole stuff here. A lot of
put this newspaper up your are slided on fire, a
lot of what's that called the flaming you know this MIRRC.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
No private school, No, my dad.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
I think it's a military that my dad used to
about all the time, Like the days.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
There's something.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Yeah, you've got to put newspaper proper hour side and
the fire and go for a run. But the run
provides more oxygen to the fire. I believe it makes
it go quicker.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Oh yeah, candle.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
You run with someone Clinton, right, I see, I've never
done it because I'm not a boy.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
And that is a problem with this country.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, yeah, that's part of the using the navy, wasn't
he correct?

Speaker 5 (12:27):
They love never mind, they do love a hazing.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
They all right, let's find out exactly what this picture
is all about.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Did they get it right? The reveal is coming right up.
Want more picture discussions? Check out our back.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Catalog and none is being trained up in a class
on how to use an individual DOSSI meter at the
Westminster Burroughs Council Civil.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Defense School in nineteen fifty too. That all checks out.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
This is a Geiget counter device which measures the exposure
rate of intensity of atomic radiation. So this woman may
have been exposed to radiation. And that's a guy that's
you know, that kind of crackly think. That's what she's doing.
She's running over to see whether or not she's had
exposure to atomic radiation, right, individual dosimeter.

Speaker 6 (13:24):
So that's what's caused the autism.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
It's so weird.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
And the nuns are in charge of this signe I know.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Right, Irony Westminster Borough Council Civil Defense School in nineteen
fifty two is a quick tip. In nineteen fifty two,
there was no bombs in the UK, was there?

Speaker 2 (13:43):
So I wasn't alive then, I know, But you're from
the UK.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
I just thought maybe I did a bit of history
at school.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Yeah, did you do a bit of history school? I
mean you knew about the Oxford thing?

Speaker 7 (13:53):
Yeah, yeah, that's pretty much all I retained were that
bombs in ninety fifty two.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Not no, you were blowing them up here and.

Speaker 6 (14:04):
Sure I'm sure we were. I'm sure we were. We
really got around doing that.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
So you're testing, you're testing women in the UK to
see if they had had exposure to radiation when it
was in fact the native people of Australia.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
It's interesting.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Why were the nuns doing it?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I think that they could be trusted to return the equipment.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
They've got no outstanding library fees. They get the job.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Who's going to return this expensive equipment? Nuns would, but
we'll get them to do it.

Speaker 6 (14:29):
That's great, that's so funny.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Kate Dolan Nobuddle, thank you very much for helping me
discover exactly in Picture Discussed.
