Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connor show podcast, isn't it fascinators hit about
Speaker 1: this proposed plan about some sort of AFL hub. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm all being in an isolated area, safely together,
Speaker 1: separated from basically everybody else the outside world and their
Speaker 1: partners and kids for some like twenty weeks so we
Speaker 1: can have footy.
Speaker 2: So we can enjoy you watching you play football. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it kind of feels Roman, and doesn't it like the
Speaker 2: Gladiator's like you will do what we say, no matter
Speaker 2: what for our entertainment.
Speaker 1: Yeah. A couple of weeks ago, Dana White, who's the
Speaker 1: big kingpin behind the UFC, there was a big fight
Speaker 1: that he was trying everything to get to go ahead,
Speaker 1: and he even hired a private island. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is like something out of out of a futuristic TV show,
Speaker 1: And I don't remember the swarching of a movie Running Man.
Speaker 1: But they eat hide an island, right, it was gonna
Speaker 1: fly the fighters in, they fight, and then they depart
Speaker 1: Fighter islander. It could only be better if they lose.
Speaker 1: Ifighters a swim off the island.
Speaker 2: It's actually better as a reality TV show rather than
Speaker 2: just a five minute round.
Speaker 1: And now they're looking at AFL Harbor, Afl Island. It's
Speaker 1: amazing all right. Time now for this week's tried and Tested.
Speaker 1: We rolled this out last week after Patsy gave me
Speaker 1: a great one. It was after a painting one of
Speaker 1: my kids bedroom. To get rid of the smell, you
Speaker 1: leave half an onion in the room, and first I
Speaker 1: thought it was a joke, but it worked a treat,
Speaker 1: And so I always think the best things are tried
Speaker 1: and tested, stuff that you actually know works, rather than
Speaker 1: something you read on our blog. It's something you can
Speaker 1: verify one hundred percent. You've tried it, you tested it.
Speaker 1: This really works. Here are some of the ones we
Speaker 1: had last week.
Speaker 3: Rubber Bend and a letter boxes did the trails. I
Speaker 3: don't like them. You know when you go camping right
Speaker 3: right w DA forty before you leave home and the bugs, well,
Speaker 3: when you come to wash your car, they'll drop up.
Speaker 3: Use roll on and if you're saying bit mostuado.
Speaker 4: My hiccup cut in your ear.
Speaker 3: And then you need a friend to you do the
Speaker 3: drink of water. You need to drink. Yeah, that's all
Speaker 3: you need to do. And you know what if you
Speaker 3: don't have a friend, you just use a straw and
Speaker 3: it works the same way.
Speaker 1: Now I should just say about some of those once again.
Speaker 1: Just heard about snails not liking rubber bands. I can
Speaker 1: never get that fact out of my mind. It's brilliant.
Speaker 1: I think about hiccups, right, lots of emails about that
Speaker 1: in the last seven days. I don't want to see
Speaker 1: another email about hiccups.
Speaker 2: Okay, people are just trying to help.
Speaker 1: The help the one that that lady suggested does actually work.
Speaker 1: My mum's had terrible hiccups for her whole life, and
Speaker 1: last week when we were talking on Skype, she tried it.
Speaker 1: She got her friend who she lives with, Bob, to
Speaker 1: put his well what does that mean but his fingers
Speaker 1: in her is Bob? Now I just said she got
Speaker 1: her friend, Bob who she's living with them, Well, not
Speaker 1: really for me to go into details about my mum's
Speaker 1: private life.
Speaker 5: Friend.
Speaker 1: Well, he's a friend who's a man. Okay, So anyway,
Speaker 1: she tried it out. It worked, It worked to treat,
Speaker 1: so thank you very much for that. But we're up
Speaker 1: to speed now and then we're calls about various other
Speaker 1: alternatives for hiccups. I'm done with it, but thank you
Speaker 1: very much. For those so tried and tested what else works?
Speaker 1: The other day, I've absolutely stained the Douna cover with
Speaker 1: permanent marker and it's black and where he sort of
Speaker 1: leaks out into like a splotch. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've tried the you know that that kind of gritty
Speaker 1: stuff you put on and then you truck it in
Speaker 1: the washing machine and doing it on a long hot
Speaker 1: wash for like two hours. It hasn't worked. It's black.
Speaker 1: It's called permanent for a reason.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I told you about signing autographs
Speaker 2: in the bed again.
Speaker 1: I need to practice them. I need to practice it.
Speaker 1: You know. It's my new limited edition merch. I've got
Speaker 1: the moment of Christian O'Connor Douna covers you can sleep
Speaker 1: with me and wake up with me as well. So
Speaker 1: I'm pre signing some at the moment. So if anyone's
Speaker 1: got anything to help with that. But tried and tested,
Speaker 1: what do you know definitely works? Will we find one
Speaker 1: as great as snails? Hating those elastic mans? Who knows
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell show podcast, So we don't tried and tested
Speaker 1: where you call us up and you say one hundred
Speaker 1: percent this works. Okay, I've tried it. I've tested it
Speaker 1: over and over again. I can definitely recommend it to
Speaker 1: you to people. And I was just saying, how I've
Speaker 1: accidentally got permanent. I carry with me sharpie pens everywhere.
Speaker 1: I have them in a studio. There's about ten, and
Speaker 1: there's backups for those ten. There's some in the car.
Speaker 1: They are everywhere. I've got them in the kitchen. I've
Speaker 1: even got some in the toilet. I've got I could
Speaker 1: count them now. There are two in my pocket here
Speaker 1: and I even get catch them by the bedside table,
Speaker 1: and sometimes I have one under a pillow sometimes. Well, anyway, John,
Speaker 1: the night, I must have written something on my hand
Speaker 1: and just left the top off and gone gormously back
Speaker 1: to sleepland and the old the bear neighbors leaked given
Speaker 1: that big old splurge as it goes out with like
Speaker 1: a dark sun onto the douna cover. And obviously my
Speaker 1: wife is really impressed the Egyptian cotton. Tell you one
Speaker 1: thing about those Egyptians. I mean, they've given us the
Speaker 1: Pyramids and the most beautifu for cotton in the world.
Speaker 1: And now at the moment, I've tried everything to get
Speaker 1: it out. But unfortunately, what it has mean is it
Speaker 1: I said, if there's anyone's got any cures for that,
Speaker 1: what we've got now is grab a pen and paper.
Speaker 1: Make sure that pen doesn't touch it, doo to cover
Speaker 1: by the way, use that pen wisely. But you're going
Speaker 1: to have at the end of the next run of calls,
Speaker 1: whatever the stain, you're going to have a cure for.
Speaker 1: I'm looking through the calls all lined up. They're all
Speaker 1: stained specialists. It's the tried and tested stained special all right,
Speaker 1: let's find out. So perhaps you're in looking for one
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 5: Oh well, our eight year old got black sharpie on
Speaker 5: a beautiful little velvet, pink velvet bedspread. I was very unimpressed.
Speaker 2: She's trying to be like a hero. Christian O'Connell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was everywhere with her. Listen, we know that
Speaker 1: I'm not a hero. She accidentally overheard I might fire her, mum,
Speaker 1: And now she growls whenever I speak bad.
Speaker 5: Man, bad man, she calls you.
Speaker 1: Now, I know that those pins in that voodoo doll
Speaker 1: she must have shoved it the other day did make
Speaker 1: me sick.
Speaker 5: On choose they did their work yesterday.
Speaker 1: Badman be sick just for one violent day. Bad man's
Speaker 1: down toilet for the day. All right, let's go to lines. Sarah,
Speaker 1: good morning, Good morning guy doing. Yeah, we're good. So
Speaker 1: welcome to tried and Tested the Stained Special. What have
Speaker 1: you got for us?
Speaker 6: Okay, So my two year old at the time decided
Speaker 6: to color in our brand new carpet with that black
Speaker 6: feminine mark. So we did use icicle rubbing alcohol. So
Speaker 6: you get a kick brushed and you get the rubbing alcohol.
Speaker 6: You've got to do it a few times, but it
Speaker 6: does eventually come out.
Speaker 1: What is rubbing alcohol? Yeah, I heard of it.
Speaker 6: So it's bullets down a steps of your cross. But yeah,
Speaker 6: so it actually it's the stain remover as well as
Speaker 6: a black sharpie permanent marker remover.
Speaker 1: Right, okay, yeah, I never leard of rubbing alcohol. And
Speaker 1: you does work.
Speaker 6: It's eats in a green bottle and it's got a
Speaker 6: crocodile on the front of it.
Speaker 1: It's called icicle, And of course that makes perfect sense
Speaker 1: having that because crocodiles one thing is they don't knock
Speaker 1: over or stain anything. They've got their problems crocodiles, but stains,
Speaker 1: it's not one of them. So you want that crocodile
Speaker 1: on the front of that rubbing alcohol? What's to stop
Speaker 1: you just using like a beer or something pulling that one.
Speaker 1: They're just rubbing it. That's rubbing alcohol. Okay, Sarah, thank
Speaker 1: you very much for your call.
Speaker 2: Didn't even dignify that with a response.
Speaker 5: And did you get that at the supermarket?
Speaker 1: Though? I wonder what rubbing alcohol?
Speaker 5: No icicle? Icicle with the croc on the front.
Speaker 1: All right, one of those things that sounded like a
Speaker 1: Bunnings thing or something like that rubbing out? Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: like a Trady's friend Helen, good morning.
Speaker 4: Morning christ.
Speaker 1: Whilst you're tried and tested for us.
Speaker 4: Well, mine's actually slightly different. It's about getting some water
Speaker 4: stained out of polish ward services. So you know tables
Speaker 4: and did you put your coffee cup off for your
Speaker 4: hot flanner and then it's ruined?
Speaker 6: Well I discovered the other day.
Speaker 4: And when I was trying to starget it and throw
Speaker 4: the table, which was very expensive before we moved throw it.
Speaker 1: It just throws away at table because you're a coffee
Speaker 1: ring on it.
Speaker 2: I mean the kitchen Every kitchen table has some sort
Speaker 2: of mark on it.
Speaker 1: Last days of the Roman Empire. Where do you live?
Speaker 1: I'm going to swing by there on the home from
Speaker 1: work and get this nest of occasionals. Don't you move
Speaker 1: house by just chucking out after stuff driving along to
Speaker 1: the new place, Just open the car door and just
Speaker 1: chuck it out, kick it out the door, staying table.
Speaker 1: So what did you do, Helen? Anyway?
Speaker 4: Yes, the actual remedy that I googled and found out
Speaker 4: was there was a couple there and things about toothpastes
Speaker 4: and things about mayonnaise. But the one I tried was
Speaker 4: ironing it and it worked. So when I had come
Speaker 4: on there is a hot steam on a teatail. No sorry,
Speaker 4: no singe, just a hot dry iron and find it
Speaker 4: and after a few minutes of lining it was amazing.
Speaker 4: The saying, which was about a foot round head one
Speaker 4: so beautiful.
Speaker 1: Table, big old coffee staate. You fill the kettle up
Speaker 1: with coffee, spelt it. I'm still spelling it. Before we move.
