1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Mark Watts has a podcast called Picture Discuss. It's out

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: on iHeart or wherever you get your podcasts. Right now

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: and right now with us is Mark Watt's Morning.

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: Good One and listen lovely to talk to you now.

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Merek take us through the concept of Picture Discuss It.

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 3: Look clearly, it's in the title, it's literally just a picture.

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 3: And then we discuss it is that it is the dumbest,

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 3: easiest concept and I can't even believe that anybody would

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 3: back it in and go, yeah, let's make that because

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: it's literally so simple it's terrifying. It's like at the

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: premises that you, myself and two other comedians, we have

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 3: a look at a picture that we're found on the internet,

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: and then for about ten minutes we discuss it and

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 3: we try to figure out what is going on in

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: that picture, that one picture that you can see the

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: picture when you download the podcast. You can see it

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: on the face page of the podcast.

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: So everything.

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, So it's the first time that somebody's kind

20
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: of made accessible for you to kind of play along

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: like that. So you look at the visual depiction on

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: your phone or on your device and you're listening and

23
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: we talk about it, and it's it's pretty funny and

24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,279
Speaker 3: I don't know, like I said, a very basic concept

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 3: from a very basic man.

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: Well, is.

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: It a famous in any way picture or does it

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: have any landmarks in it that might indicate what could

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: be going on?

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: Or is it a completely random picture?

31
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: It's so random. One of the pictures that we discussed,

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: for example, is a group of nude cyclists. Oh yeah,

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: mood cyclists.

34
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: Why would you think that that's a good idea?

35
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly exactly, Like I mean, you want to be

36
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: very careful about the spokes.

37
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I think that was the least of you, exactly.

38
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: And that's that's and that's how you have a discussion

39
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: for like ten minutes about like all of the things

40
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: that are going on in that picture. When you've got

41
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: like a half a dozen people mood on bicycles riding

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: through a street, you're going to figure out where in

43
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: the world that is, why would they, yes, how many

44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: creams that applied to themselves in advance of doing this,

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: and exactly how many emergency vehicles will be required? And

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 3: at the end of it, we just we just kind

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: of try to find out or try to discuss why

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: something would do that, and then at the end of

49
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: it we reveal.

50
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: It, ood, are you accepting photo submissions from listeners? Obviously

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 4: not body parts? Of course, look I would.

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, I'll tak those from people listening. Absolutely.

53
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 3: If you think you've got a cracker and you want

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: to explained, great, But yeah, I don't think that's an

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: too intimate family photos, family photos, let's leave those out.

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly.

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: So who are the who are some of the comedians

58
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: that are popping up to discuss I've got.

59
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: All sorts of people are involved. Like literally, it's a

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: bit of a who's who of Australian comedy. I've caught

61
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: on lots of my mates. It's been a part of it.

62
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: Tom Ballard is very very funny. I've got Gy Montgomery

63
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: from New Zealand who's a bit of an open coming star.

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: Jim Tierne. There's like, honestly, there's so many. Brett blake

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: who's a fantastic West Australian comedian, Blakey, he's actually I

66
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: think he's the one. It might have been involved in

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: the new bicycle incident nothing to do with the podcast

68
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: is I think generally I think he was involved in

69
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 3: an ad bicycle incident. So yeah, it's an assortment each time.

70
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: Each episode. There's two episodes a week. One's dropping today

71
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,520

72
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: listen to them short, sharp and sweet and lots of fun.

73
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,880

84
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: My greatest like having done Essays Australia, My greatest hope

85
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: now is that I go on a show where a

86
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: bear can eat me.

87
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: Just the threat of us better, isn't it?

88
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,080

Speaker 3: member you so I mean I'll take both.

90
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: Thanks. Yessay's Australia. You've got quite emotional for a few

91
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: of you didn't it because they're really working hard and

92
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 4: getting you lack of sleep and all that physicality.

93
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look, I mean they do.

94
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: They deliberately try to tune into people's personal emotions and

95
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: the feelings. But unfortunately I don't have any. I'm a

96
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: very very shallow human being. So as a result, when

97
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 3: they tried to tap deeply into me, they went, this

98
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: is a very shallow pond, and I went, well, there

99
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: you go.

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: Is open, not shallow.

101
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: They're going, we'll go deep, deep into your personality, and

102
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: it's not.

103
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: Deep small pond.

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 3: I don't even have an emotions.

105
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: Eric is not a common first name. Have you ever

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: met another Merrick?

107
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've actually only met a couple in my entire life.

108
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: I think I've met two other merics, right, But I

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: do know that there has been at least two children

110
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: who have been named after me, which makes me feel

111
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: really good that neither of them. Well, I think I'd

112
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 3: be worried if they were mine.

113
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, that's amazing.

114
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Picture Discuss is out now. What's on
