1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: I am so in the doghouse, I really am. Uh so.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: One of my daughters was pressurizing me to you know,

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: it's like Patsy see, always just under pressure. There's no delay,

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: there's no sort of delayed gratification. It's now. They better

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: live in the internal present. They're very e cart told,

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: they're very the power of now. Anytime I get a message,

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: it's like, can you pick me up? I don't even

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: say when I'm already leaving the house. It's like now,

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: they don't even presume you'll have plans the mountain times

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: I've just had to leave the gym mid workout. I've

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: just got there to go and get a kid from somewhere. Anyway,

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: so they're going it's school shirt now, and so I was.

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: I didn't. I started try and get the ironing board out,

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: which is a nightmare just getting out because it's like

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: joy shoved somewhere is it's never in a convenient place,

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: and says we haven't got time for that. I need

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: it now. So I just laid a towel down on

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: the dining table. I need to explain, Okay, the dining

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: table we we it's shipped over is very important to

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: my wife.

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: And it's a beautiful table.

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: It's a lovely table, right, and we've had it like

24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Every single photo of like the girls having

25
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: a birthday party at home in an old house is

26
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: all around that table. We've had kitchen at Christmas dinners

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: on that table, New Year's celebrations. It's a big part

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: of our family that my wife loves the table. You're

29
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: not allowed to put a hot drink down there without

30
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: a coaster. Who certainly aren't allowed to put a flipping

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: grape steamline.

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: Traditionally they are hotter than a.

33
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: Hot tea hotter steam iron and a love flimsy towel,

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: and like home, working in the dry and cleaners. And

35
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: of course I didn't realize what was happening underneath it.

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: I was making my own kind of turin shroud on

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: that table. There is a big, vivid stain. I guess

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: I must have steamed the wagons off. You've seen it.

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: I have seen it.

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: It's an ugly, as my wife said, ugly vivid stay.

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: It's rather big too, a huge so as you can imagine,

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: this is put a little bit of a damna over

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: life generally. That weekend, Sarah actually said, I'm even want

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: to go out this weekend. Life will be okay. I

45
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: reckon if I said, listen, I've just had some terrible

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: news Altorf and it got like a couple of weeks ago.

47
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: But we can do about that stain. It's typical you're

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: going to die. So obviously there's been a lot of

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: people giving me what I call home remedies. I don't

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: know if any of these work. I mean some of

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: the comments, samear it with mayo, leave it for a

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: few hours overnight, Trust me, it works. How is mayonnaise

53
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: going to work?

54
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you've taken the top layer of it off.

55
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: You need you to help me out right now. I

56
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: know what I've done you in this morning. I saw

57
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: it at five am. It's there. The moment you walk

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: into the kitchen and go, oh god, it's there.

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: I think the only thing you can do is strip

60
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: the whole table of the wax and then start over

61
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: the top of it.

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, why how do you even do that?

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: Take the iron to the whole the whole thing.

64
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: It should try out? Fine, I had this happened to me.

65
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: You just leave it and the spot was gone. Nothing

66
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: ever gets better by just being left alone.

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: That's how I try to fix everything.

68
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Try rubbing the side of a walnut into the wood grains?

69
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: What are these medieval cures? Iron? Again, gentle heat, no

70
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: steam user to tell steamers what got you into this mess?

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: So steam's what's going to get you out of it?

72
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: All right, Dad, it's definitely not gonna work.

73
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: You could try furniture restorers oil. Where would I it gets?

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: I've done enough damage? Where am I going to find

75
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: that sand it back? Restain it? Try that? Christian? What

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: about buying I've got an ironing border. K These comments

77
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: aren't happening. If there is anyone listened to Liz who

78
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: actually has got some ideas that don't involve mayonnaise or

79
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: rubbing a walnut on it, please call me. What can

80
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: I do to save the weekend of my life? This

81
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: is the Christian o'commel show podcast. How can I get

82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: a big stain out of a wooden table? I put

83
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: an iron on it? Not just I didn't obviously put

84
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: the iron on it. If you just tuned in, I

85
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: did have a layering down of a towel. Because I'm

86
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: not a fool.

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: It must have been a very thin tail.

88
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: It was, it was a very thick tail. Guys, I

89
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: need you to back me up on this today. Christian,

90
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: just heard your dilemma. I'm a qualified furniture maker that

91
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: can easily solve your problem. But in return, you wanted

92
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: to cook me a barbecue lunch, preferably lamb cutlets, and

93
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: buy me a carton of beer. All right, Lee Mandalaid

94
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Custom Furniture. How about you just come around and do it?

95
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: Why have I got to do it all this? We

96
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: lamb cutlets for lunch, Christian. Strangely, rubbing walnuts can work

97
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: because of the oil they contain. I use them on

98
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: scratches on timber floorboards. That comes from Jody.

99
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're not talking about a scratch, a big cuts, a.

100
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Huge, big, ugly stain. Jeff, Good morning, Christian, Jeff. Can

101
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: you save my life and my weekend? What can I do?

102
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 4: I had exactly the same thing happened to my dining table,

103
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 4: and the stain was there for years, and I tried

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: everything to get rid of it, and the friend suggested

105
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: just running a hedge while over it, very slowly, and

106
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: it actually took off. And I've never had it back.

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: So what with the hair do I do? Jeff? What

108
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: would you get rid.

109
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: Of the Yeah, that's something we was getting it out

110
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 4: from underneath. It's what she just tripped underneath and it

111
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 4: slowly comes down so it.

112
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 1: Melts away the white stuff the stain.

113
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly as I said. I had exactly the same thing.

114
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: And we had put hot food on the table with

115
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: a thin tail over it and left them period of time,

116
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 4: and when we listed up, we had this huge white

117
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 4: stain that was horrible and it actually worked.

118
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Do you know what? They should have warnings on these towels,

119
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't they do not use as an airport. I'm blaming

120
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: the Town Manufacturer company actually, and mom was a thick tail,

121
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: by the way, not a thing one like you. For

122
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: the record, you're Jeff, do you know what? I've got

123
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: nothing else to do, so I would try that, Thank

124
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: you very much.

125
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 4: A brainer.

126
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Now you're listening to the question, you know Carl Show podcast, Christian.

127
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: When my daughter was got as younger, we'd commissioned a

128
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: one direction birthday cake made for her. Getting out of

129
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: the car, I managed to chop Harry Stars's head off,

130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: ruined it.

131
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: Oh age that reminds me. Actually, the first time you

132
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: guys came over to our house, do you remember you?

133
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: You daughter made a pavlof and the German shepherd stepped

134
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: in the pavlova in the back of the car.

135
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: Is very temperamental, baker, my daughter. Do you whan they

136
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: try to blame it on me? My daughter? It was

137
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: because I wasn't watching the dog. I didn't know who

138
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: was going to stand in a pavlova. It's a dog,

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: all right. What did you ruin, Hailey? I ruined a

140
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: carpet trying to get bubblegum out. I remember my mum

141
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: told me a paper bank and a line can remove

142
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: wax al gum from clothes. So I tried it on

143
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: a cheap synthetic carpet. The result was a rather large

144
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: melted circle of carpet in the middle of our living room. Christian,

145
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: I remember trying to super glue my moccasin sole back

146
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: on to my shoe. I thought we had a great

147
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: idea to put my foot on the ground to act

148
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: as to the weight while it dried. Include the whole

149
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: thing to the carpet. Let's do super glue stories next week.

150
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: There'll be so many mishaps you've had using superglue. Karen,

151
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: I ruin my high school winter skirt standing too close

152
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: to the heater, burnt a massive hole in the back

153
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: of it. Didn't get a new one though, Mom just

154
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: patched it up. Not embarrassing at all to weren't a

155
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: skirt with a massive patch on the back of the eye.

156
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Do you remember patches? Yeah, my mom would just do that.

157
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: So if you were like put your knees through like

158
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: a pair of jeans, you would just have patches put

159
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: on them. You don't get kids on it because you've

160
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: got rights, now, human rights. You can't just patch patch

161
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: it up. Fine, get back out there.

162
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: They had a kit and there'd be buttons and zip.

163
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: But mother's so nice.

164
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, patches. What did you ruin?

165
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: Jack my headphones? You know, the AirPod buds. Yeah, I'm

166
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: getting him mixed up with anchors one. So I wanted

167
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 2: to paint mine so I could tell them apart easily,

168
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: I thought. I taped them up tightly in the areas.

169
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: That the paint glossy. So what were you going to

170
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: use like a special paint?

171
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: No, I was using the leftover paint from the kitchen

172
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: semi on your AirPods. So I taped up the end

173
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: so the paint was seepin, and dipped them in the

174
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: paint and they looked really good. But then the problem

175
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: was they stopped working. So I guess I didn't tape

176
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: it well enough.

177
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,640

Speaker 3: one myself because he hadn't had time to do it.

194
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: If it's his hobby, you don't have a go at something.

195
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: Indeed, anyway, the mole was on the lowest setting. I

196
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: didn't realize it had settings anyway, So I did the

197
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: first couple of rows, and I realized it was too

198
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: low because it was down to the clay there was.

199
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: Suddenly it's bald? Is it?
