App Got anything good?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Right, I
need some help this morning. I really really need some help.
This now is going to become a show and tell.
I've brought something into studio from home. This is a
real life deaf con situation. I have a deep love
(00:43):
of Sharpie pens, all right, and they're always on me. However,
I came home yesterday I didn't realize there was one
capless and that is like pin out of a grenade
in my back pocket. I'm sat on the couch having
a couple of team my wife were talking about our days.
I get up and she starts screaming, I've left a
(01:04):
stain on the couch from a dark black, vivid, angry
scar of a Sharpie pen that's leaked onto there.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So we start googling. Then we started going to AI
AI help US AI.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Fire up, AI, come on chat GPT sharpie Panics's go
get some rubbing alcohol. We're like, what is rubbing alcohol?
We've got drinking alcohol, but I don't think pouring a
peanut or a nice sheaar ass on. This is going
to help chat GPT. It ain't that smart. After all,
you haven't got street smarts.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Rubbing alcohol is one of those things you never have. Also,
before you hang a picture rubic propole.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
That propole, Yes, it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Was a thing during lockdown when we're told to start drinking.
It was that RFK, Juneral or Trump or Boris are
one of the bozos.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Isn't it just like METHI though I don't know what
metho methylated spirits? Is that a nosy thing?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
No, I know what you mean. So I found a
hand sanitized it. Basically the committing something whichs got a
high alcohol content. So there's hand sanitizer was seventy percent.
I start putting it on, it just changes it to indigo.
The stain remains. So it was as we went to
bed last night, my wife looked at it, you know
(02:25):
when she sort of looks at you, you see what
you done.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I brought it in this morning. It's still it's faded,
but it's there. It's always going to be there.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
We have the same one, yeah, same one.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Out scene on the radio. It's the couch to have.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So this is all woven fabric, which apparently makes it
harder because it seeps in.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Right, So I got sad out as well.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Just you know, it always solves everything.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's sad, sadly couldn't do this, and then I put
it on a cool wash for an hour. That did nothing.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
You can get a can't you get like a color
correct at the supermarket?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yes, there's one. It's called doctor Something's color corrector.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I've used this doctor Nickerbocker. I know a song about
him from the Whiggels Nikoba Nikobuck number nine. He likes
to dance and sing on time.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I had one of a white blanket that I put
in with like red undies or something in the white.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Red undies. Don't know, Okay, let's all the gaye do
it red undies? Wow? Anyway, back to my stain. What
a segue? What do I do with this? It's woven fabric.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
The color correct I must have seen my wife and
I must have said the phrase woven fabric two hundred
times yesterday. You know, you never said anything. And then
it's the thing, it's the catchphrase of the week is Chris,
this is woven fabric. You couldn't have put it on
anything worse. It's a woven Is it woven or just
what is that?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
It looks woven to me?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
What do they call that? The bumpy stuff?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
The bo.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
That's trouble A lot.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
This is a lot cheaper if you touch it, pats.
It's like Hessian sat like you sit on this on shorts.
It's really uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
On the old is it linen? Is a thick ass fabric.
It's more like a doormat.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's a classic like natural.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
What makes us worse for st I just did the old.
I don't worry about that. I'll just flip it over.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
However, sadly on the reverse side, is this horrible kind
of Ladies nineteen six?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Is Hosier aramel?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It looks yes, no, no no, So I don't know.
The composition with.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
The fabric is key here as to how we get
it out, you need a Shannon Lush who's like an
ausy cleaning expert who is lash.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
No.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Shannon Lush will see she will know what fabric it
is and what interacts best with the fabric to get
the stain.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So, thank you. How do we get hold of Shannon Lush?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Let's go on a week.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
We say her name three times and she materializes on
the phone.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I just looked, she's the queen of stain pain, which
excuse me?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I think I went to see that lady once in Soho.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
A queen of what is the queen of stain pain?
So you've got stain pain?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So much pain right now? Mainly the pain is from
my wife.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You need miss Lush, you need miss Lash.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I think that's someone else. How do you get hold
of Shannon? No, sorry, Shannon?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Who is it Shannon Lush?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Let's see if we can email.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I'll be getting he's speaking to the manager of Shannon.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
No, can he come round? It's if it's cash, he
do anything right now? It's desperate for the gig rio.
Just came round to my side of the studio and
can have a look at it. I showed him the
vivid stain from my sharmpypan that's on this couch cover
that I brought him today to see if anyone can
tell me how to get it out? I went, no,
you can't carry on like that. You can't, you cannot
(06:09):
carry on, And then ask a very warmant question, where
on the couch is this cushion?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And also the number one thing people in to know moment.
What is the couch? If you've got it, re recognizes
it from the seat cover.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Freedom? It's the Freedom l Sorrento. Yes, you've got it, Pats,
have you got it? No?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I have not.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I've got leather because of that, because no, with the
kid you wipe it clean. You can just about, you know,
hose it clean.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
At the end of the day, I've just seen half
the team produces Sarah also as the Freedom serrnsal. People
are going to think we've got a contract with you.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I wish we had.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Would have saved the silk quite a few dollars. Actually, Freedom,
I am open to be a new ambassador.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
If you free live reads.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Suddenly you know, push names in a hat and someone
can donate their cushion to you, so then it's all
new again.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
How do you say that he has a great idea Christian.
The solution to cushion gate is close sits a home.
Rio said, he has the same couch. Simply order him
unsafe workplace. We don't do that here. Simply order him
to give you one of his order. I wish you
(07:21):
had that power over this team.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Go home. And replace your Christian. Go out to my
house right now, Christian.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
This way happy Sarah happy Christian, unhappy Rio. But as
Meetlow said, two out of three eight bad Christian follow
me for more life acts.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Jason had just throw me under the bus.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Christian Morning Fresh dishwashing liquid that actually made the most
difference yesterday, really more than the hand sanitizer. But it's
only just turn it from dark black. I mean black
is black, and eat kind of dark black. Yeah, and
you have dark black, but that is it's indigot, it's
a vivid scar.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's still there. Christian is simply buy a new couch.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
That pillow is never going to be the same, even
if Shannon managed to get it out.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It's just going to have now an overly white bit
of it. Where the score.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It's going to leave a tour in shroud mark there.
Get a new couch. The only way Sarah's going to
be happy again.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Christian.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Take the cover to the dry cleaners. This happened to
me with a whiteboard marker. They will get it out.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I don't think they do that, No, I reckon they might.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
That's actually a really good idea shot.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, I'm slightly intimidated by a local dry cleaners. The
last time I went in, he accused me of being poor.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh no, what do you mean.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well he had a great, big, life size poster of
Oscar Piastro in the window. I went, do you know
my He goes, oh, you have known his family in
Oscar for many years. I wash his his racing outfits.
When he comes back to Melbourne. He brings like he
years ago and he washes them all. And I went, oh,
apparently he lives around the corner from me. He goes, no, no, no,
(08:54):
he doesn't. As a rich man sport. You're too poor
to him.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And I went and he went.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I went, I'm on the radio, and he goes, he goes,
you own the station. I went, no, you're poor. He's
a legend there, him and his wife been running it
for like fifty years. I'm slightly If I take that in,
I'll have an hour being told off by him and
his wife. You're right, you should have your velvet on
(09:22):
hermin couch told you you about. That's woven fabric, not
leather or anything cheap. Pass So hopefully we're gonna passy.
Thank you very much for as always when winning situais helping,
not at all. Passy just sent us a link to
the website for Shannon Lush.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
That's just the first place anyone do the world's greatest producer.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I thought you might have it in that news Rollerdex.
You know we got all the world leaders Albow Shannon
Lush books. I have a death colm one situation at home.
I have sharpie pens all the time. They're always on me. Sadly,
one of them I must have lost its cap. It's
in my back pocket. It's leaked from my backside onto
(10:10):
a sofa couch cover. If you're playing along at home,
mister freedom, cerinto it has to be. It can only
be into that woven fabric. I tried, sad I tried
everything on it. I tried hand sanitizer, put it on
a delicate wash cold of course, for an hour, and
I did nothing. So I brought it in today pleading
for someone to help me. One name has emerged, and
(10:32):
they say that in times of need, the right hero
or heroin emerges a lady hero.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Suddenly, the name kept being cried to the gods.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Lush, Shannon Lush, And if you say her name three times,
she materializes and sure enough, she joins us on the show.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Right now, Shannon Lush, is that you Shannon? You come
in my hour of need?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Thank you, Shannon Lush?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
What have you done? Give a show?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
First of all, thank you for coming over to the
bright solid ol here on FM radio. I understand your
every Monday night on Talk about Radio. But thank you
for coming and seeing us on the FM side of
the dial. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Not a problem. What have you done?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
A Sharpie black Sharpie has basically bled into my sofa
couch cover and it's like a woven fabric, woolen. It's
a couch. It's called the Sorrento from Freedom and l
shape one. It's almost like a Hessian sack.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Washed canvas, is it?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah? Washed canvas?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Okay, and you know it's the per fact that it
was Sharpie brand.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Definitely.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I carry them all the time. Yeah, black, I'm afraid.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Okay, you just need to use white spirits to remove it.
That's not not vodka, so don't drink it. It's cold
white spirits. It's not mesilated spirit. In between metho and
turps and the hardware store you'll find it comes in
a small bottle. Sometimes it comes under the name of Shellite.
(12:19):
It's ninety nine percent liquid hydrocarbon. Just use a small
amount on a cotton bud and just rub it over
until it comes out. Once you've removed it, you'll need
to remove the white spirits and you do that with
a cake of soap in the bathroom, just normal bathroom
soap that you wash your place my hands with, lightly
damp it till it feels sticky, and then you just
(12:40):
scribble on it like it's a crayon, rub it out
with a cold damp cloth, and then evenly damp the
entire panel. That way you don't get water marks or
what look like spots left over after you've finished Chaddon.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
How do you know all this off the top of
your head?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Oh, I don't forget, and my experiment all the time,
and I've been doing it since i was born.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Wow, all right, So I need to get so the
most of more things to get the white spirit Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah, white spirits and a normal cocoa bathroom.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So there was a lot more steps after that, I've
got to say. And I can see you.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Once you got about Shannon, there's about five five different
damp cloths. I'm concerned about the bit, scrubbing it again
like a pen.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
No, okay, we run again.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Please.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
While we're running, Stuart, I want you to imagine yourself
doing it.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
We're going through the stained window and play school now, yes,
all right, So I get I get the I get
the methylated spirits.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
No, white spirits, not metal.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Is that white vinegar, because I've got some of that
same thing.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
It's ninety liquid hydro carbon. It's white spirits. It's called
white spirits.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Sometimes it comes under the name of shell.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Right now, I've got I think my wife is to
do with her nails. Is that like now a polish remover.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
The first step?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
This is crazy.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
You're just going to get what he's doing this, so
Sarah will do it.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You don't know my why she said you did it?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
This is your problem, I said, I'm taking it into work,
all right.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
So white spirits.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Soak on it, called white spirit You use cotton bud,
dip it in the white spirits, and you just draw
on it with the cotton bud again and again until
the chaffie pennant mark is gone. Once it has gone,
get a caker soap in the bathroom. Lightly damp the
cake of soap scribble on the stain like it to
(14:53):
cray on, and then you just rub it out with
a cold damp plus and you damp the entire panel
so it doesn't get walk.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Will now, Shannon, thank you very much. How will that work?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Because this is almost like you know, we're coming up
to sort of six in eighteen hours. Would is no?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Now, the deal is with staying is that it's basic
chemistry and so long as you know what you're doing
it doing it, it's it's easy. What if I left out.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
What if I left this for a year then played
this back and then did it? Would it still work?
The chemistry?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Yes, of course it was the only difference. I'm leaving
it for a year with a sharpy ben because the
inch sets harder and harder. You would need to stoppen
the ink first with blistering. But that's the only thing
that would be different. But that would take a long
time to do that. You know when you feel in
(15:52):
an ink stone as it age is it gets of
this crispy feel to the edges of it. Yes, that's
because it's the air drive. So it goes hard. It
almost forms of plastic, right, and you would need to
break it down all.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Right, now, Shannon, one last question, and what is the
worst stain? What is the worst stain to ever try
and remove?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
There is one? Wow, No, it doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Chemistry, chemistry. It's fun.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That's like your Sharlotte Cohen's phrase. It was elementary for him,
but it's chemistry. Now listen, a lot of people be
listening to this and they might want to contact you.
What's the best way for them to do that?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Shallon Lush if they want to hear or get this
stone to remove by talking to Musa and they aren't
contact me through the radio otherwise the books are available.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
The contact to the radio.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I don't use websites. I gave up on that was
just too hectic, and I don't see people in person anymore.
People were bringing me at three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
In the morning, joint that that's parts of my show.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
It's just not good.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, no, it's not good.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
All right, Hey listen, Shannon, love to speak to you,
and thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
You help have a good day, no worry.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Thanks for having me see you.
