Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: I am so in the doghouse, I really am. Uh so.
Speaker 1: One of my daughters was pressurizing me to you know,
Speaker 1: it's like Patsy see, always just under pressure. There's no delay,
Speaker 1: there's no sort of delayed gratification. It's now. They better
Speaker 1: live in the internal present. They're very e cart told,
Speaker 1: they're very the power of now. Anytime I get a message,
Speaker 1: it's like, can you pick me up? I don't even
Speaker 1: say when I'm already leaving the house. It's like now,
Speaker 1: they don't even presume you'll have plans the mountain times
Speaker 1: I've just had to leave the gym mid workout. I've
Speaker 1: just got there to go and get a kid from somewhere. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so they're going it's school shirt now, and so I was.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I started try and get the ironing board out,
Speaker 1: which is a nightmare just getting out because it's like
Speaker 1: joy shoved somewhere is it's never in a convenient place,
Speaker 1: and says we haven't got time for that. I need
Speaker 1: it now. So I just laid a towel down on
Speaker 1: the dining table. I need to explain, Okay, the dining
Speaker 1: table we we it's shipped over is very important to
Speaker 1: my wife.
Speaker 2: And it's a beautiful table.
Speaker 1: It's a lovely table, right, and we've had it like
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Every single photo of like the girls having
Speaker 1: a birthday party at home in an old house is
Speaker 1: all around that table. We've had kitchen at Christmas dinners
Speaker 1: on that table, New Year's celebrations. It's a big part
Speaker 1: of our family that my wife loves the table. You're
Speaker 1: not allowed to put a hot drink down there without
Speaker 1: a coaster. Who certainly aren't allowed to put a flipping
Speaker 1: grape steamline.
Speaker 2: Traditionally they are hotter than a.
Speaker 1: Hot tea hotter steam iron and a love flimsy towel,
Speaker 1: and like home, working in the dry and cleaners. And
Speaker 1: of course I didn't realize what was happening underneath it.
Speaker 1: I was making my own kind of turin shroud on
Speaker 1: that table. There is a big, vivid stain. I guess
Speaker 1: I must have steamed the wagons off. You've seen it.
Speaker 3: I have seen it.
Speaker 1: It's an ugly, as my wife said, ugly vivid stay.
Speaker 1: It's rather big too, a huge so as you can imagine,
Speaker 1: this is put a little bit of a damna over
Speaker 1: life generally. That weekend, Sarah actually said, I'm even want
Speaker 1: to go out this weekend. Life will be okay. I
Speaker 1: reckon if I said, listen, I've just had some terrible
Speaker 1: news Altorf and it got like a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: But we can do about that stain. It's typical you're
Speaker 1: going to die. So obviously there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: people giving me what I call home remedies. I don't
Speaker 1: know if any of these work. I mean some of
Speaker 1: the comments, samear it with mayo, leave it for a
Speaker 1: few hours overnight, Trust me, it works. How is mayonnaise
Speaker 1: going to work?
Speaker 2: I mean, you've taken the top layer of it off.
Speaker 1: You need you to help me out right now. I
Speaker 1: know what I've done you in this morning. I saw
Speaker 1: it at five am. It's there. The moment you walk
Speaker 1: into the kitchen and go, oh god, it's there.
Speaker 2: I think the only thing you can do is strip
Speaker 2: the whole table of the wax and then start over
Speaker 2: the top of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why how do you even do that?
Speaker 2: Take the iron to the whole the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It should try out? Fine, I had this happened to me.
Speaker 1: You just leave it and the spot was gone. Nothing
Speaker 1: ever gets better by just being left alone.
Speaker 2: That's how I try to fix everything.
Speaker 1: Try rubbing the side of a walnut into the wood grains?
Speaker 1: What are these medieval cures? Iron? Again, gentle heat, no
Speaker 1: steam user to tell steamers what got you into this mess?
Speaker 1: So steam's what's going to get you out of it?
Speaker 2: All right, Dad, it's definitely not gonna work.
Speaker 1: You could try furniture restorers oil. Where would I it gets?
Speaker 1: I've done enough damage? Where am I going to find
Speaker 1: that sand it back? Restain it? Try that? Christian? What
Speaker 1: about buying I've got an ironing border. K These comments
Speaker 1: aren't happening. If there is anyone listened to Liz who
Speaker 1: actually has got some ideas that don't involve mayonnaise or
Speaker 1: rubbing a walnut on it, please call me. What can
Speaker 1: I do to save the weekend of my life? This
Speaker 1: is the Christian o'commel show podcast. How can I get
Speaker 1: a big stain out of a wooden table? I put
Speaker 1: an iron on it? Not just I didn't obviously put
Speaker 1: the iron on it. If you just tuned in, I
Speaker 1: did have a layering down of a towel. Because I'm
Speaker 1: not a fool.
Speaker 2: It must have been a very thin tail.
Speaker 1: It was, it was a very thick tail. Guys, I
Speaker 1: need you to back me up on this today. Christian,
Speaker 1: just heard your dilemma. I'm a qualified furniture maker that
Speaker 1: can easily solve your problem. But in return, you wanted
Speaker 1: to cook me a barbecue lunch, preferably lamb cutlets, and
Speaker 1: buy me a carton of beer. All right, Lee Mandalaid
Speaker 1: Custom Furniture. How about you just come around and do it?
Speaker 1: Why have I got to do it all this? We
Speaker 1: lamb cutlets for lunch, Christian. Strangely, rubbing walnuts can work
Speaker 1: because of the oil they contain. I use them on
Speaker 1: scratches on timber floorboards. That comes from Jody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're not talking about a scratch, a big cuts, a.
Speaker 1: Huge, big, ugly stain. Jeff, Good morning, Christian, Jeff. Can
Speaker 1: you save my life and my weekend? What can I do?
Speaker 4: I had exactly the same thing happened to my dining table,
Speaker 4: and the stain was there for years, and I tried
Speaker 4: everything to get rid of it, and the friend suggested
Speaker 4: just running a hedge while over it, very slowly, and
Speaker 4: it actually took off. And I've never had it back.
Speaker 1: So what with the hair do I do? Jeff? What
Speaker 1: would you get rid.
Speaker 4: Of the Yeah, that's something we was getting it out
Speaker 4: from underneath. It's what she just tripped underneath and it
Speaker 4: slowly comes down so it.
Speaker 1: Melts away the white stuff the stain.
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly as I said. I had exactly the same thing.
Speaker 4: And we had put hot food on the table with
Speaker 4: a thin tail over it and left them period of time,
Speaker 4: and when we listed up, we had this huge white
Speaker 4: stain that was horrible and it actually worked.
Speaker 1: Do you know what? They should have warnings on these towels,
Speaker 1: shouldn't they do not use as an airport. I'm blaming
Speaker 1: the Town Manufacturer company actually, and mom was a thick tail,
Speaker 1: by the way, not a thing one like you. For
Speaker 1: the record, you're Jeff, do you know what? I've got
Speaker 1: nothing else to do, so I would try that, Thank
Speaker 1: you very much.
Speaker 4: A brainer.
Speaker 1: Now you're listening to the question, you know Carl Show podcast, Christian.
Speaker 1: When my daughter was got as younger, we'd commissioned a
Speaker 1: one direction birthday cake made for her. Getting out of
Speaker 1: the car, I managed to chop Harry Stars's head off,
Speaker 1: ruined it.
Speaker 2: Oh age that reminds me. Actually, the first time you
Speaker 2: guys came over to our house, do you remember you?
Speaker 2: You daughter made a pavlof and the German shepherd stepped
Speaker 2: in the pavlova in the back of the car.
Speaker 1: Is very temperamental, baker, my daughter. Do you whan they
Speaker 1: try to blame it on me? My daughter? It was
Speaker 1: because I wasn't watching the dog. I didn't know who
Speaker 1: was going to stand in a pavlova. It's a dog,
Speaker 1: all right. What did you ruin, Hailey? I ruined a
Speaker 1: carpet trying to get bubblegum out. I remember my mum
Speaker 1: told me a paper bank and a line can remove
Speaker 1: wax al gum from clothes. So I tried it on
Speaker 1: a cheap synthetic carpet. The result was a rather large
Speaker 1: melted circle of carpet in the middle of our living room. Christian,
Speaker 1: I remember trying to super glue my moccasin sole back
Speaker 1: on to my shoe. I thought we had a great
Speaker 1: idea to put my foot on the ground to act
Speaker 1: as to the weight while it dried. Include the whole
Speaker 1: thing to the carpet. Let's do super glue stories next week.
Speaker 1: There'll be so many mishaps you've had using superglue. Karen,
Speaker 1: I ruin my high school winter skirt standing too close
Speaker 1: to the heater, burnt a massive hole in the back
Speaker 1: of it. Didn't get a new one though, Mom just
Speaker 1: patched it up. Not embarrassing at all to weren't a
Speaker 1: skirt with a massive patch on the back of the eye.
Speaker 1: Do you remember patches? Yeah, my mom would just do that.
Speaker 1: So if you were like put your knees through like
Speaker 1: a pair of jeans, you would just have patches put
Speaker 1: on them. You don't get kids on it because you've
Speaker 1: got rights, now, human rights. You can't just patch patch
Speaker 1: it up. Fine, get back out there.
Speaker 3: They had a kit and there'd be buttons and zip.
Speaker 3: But mother's so nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, patches. What did you ruin?
Speaker 2: Jack my headphones? You know, the AirPod buds. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: getting him mixed up with anchors one. So I wanted
Speaker 2: to paint mine so I could tell them apart easily,
Speaker 2: I thought. I taped them up tightly in the areas.
Speaker 1: That the paint glossy. So what were you going to
Speaker 1: use like a special paint?
Speaker 2: No, I was using the leftover paint from the kitchen
Speaker 2: semi on your AirPods. So I taped up the end
Speaker 2: so the paint was seepin, and dipped them in the
Speaker 2: paint and they looked really good. But then the problem
Speaker 2: was they stopped working. So I guess I didn't tape
Speaker 2: it well enough.
Speaker 1: Patsy, what have you ruined?
Speaker 3: I ruined Chris's front lawn once. Chris used to really
Speaker 3: pride himself on the front lawn. He do you know,
Speaker 3: like the criss crossers and.
Speaker 2: He was like, he's carving out the mcg It.
Speaker 3: Was like a hobby for him. And he used to
Speaker 3: cut the what did you do for hobby? No, he
Speaker 3: loved it. You'd get out there, he'd love it, take
Speaker 3: great pride in it. He'd even cut the edges with scissors.
Speaker 1: And the royal flowers shows.
Speaker 3: I swearssors.
Speaker 1: Out there and a ruler and when those squares to
Speaker 1: get the angles right, he's combing it as well with
Speaker 1: his hair comb.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we love them. Anyway, he went he was away
Speaker 3: one weekend. I thought, you know what, I'll surprise him
Speaker 3: one myself because he hadn't had time to do it.
Speaker 1: If it's his hobby, you don't have a go at something.
Speaker 3: Indeed, anyway, the mole was on the lowest setting. I
Speaker 3: didn't realize it had settings anyway, So I did the
Speaker 3: first couple of rows, and I realized it was too
Speaker 3: low because it was down to the clay there was.
Speaker 1: Suddenly it's bald? Is it?
Speaker 2: It was bald?
Speaker 1: He wasn't get it worse than a busker? Did he
Speaker 1: say when he got when he saw it, MO, my god,
