Have you tried that nail polish that doesn't taste very nice? Yes, I have, and it is horrible, and it makes you feel sick when you keep eating it. Oh, I bet. It's poison. Wow. Okay, well, you're dedicated, that's for sure. You're taking on our tradie. He's from Christchurch.

He's 19 years old, and it's his last day working in his current job. Welcome to the show, Hamish. G'day, Hamish. How's it going? Going on to something new, Hamish? I'm actually going to try and get my paragliding license. What? That was not what I was expecting you to say.

You should have led with that. Fun fact, Hamish. Your buzzer, Hamish, is tradie. Amy, yours is lady. First to three correct answers gets $50 cash from KFC. Good luck, guys. Here we go. Question number one.

Where were fortune cookies invented? Japan, the USA, or China? Lady. Yes, Amy, just in. Me. Yes, Amy, Justin. China. Incorrect. Hamish? US.

That's the game. God, Amy, unlucky. Hamish, too good this afternoon. You got $50 cash thanks to KFC. Awesome, thank you so much. This might be a bit insensitive, but Amy, that was a real nail-biter. Now we've got none to do. Yeah, she didn't need that. She got none left.

Bree and Clint. A box of deluxe Christmas crackers has been slammed online by someone on TikTok after they revealed the prizes to be a little bit shite. Christmas crackers, I was prizes to be a little bit shite. Christmas crackers, I was going to say

a hit and miss. They're not. They're not hit and miss. They're all bad. They're miss and miss. They're all bad, but hear me out. This pack of six Christmas crackers retails for $15. Six of $15. And a guy by the name of

Roy Malloy. That's his real name guy by the name of Roy Malloy. That's his real name. Get out. His name is not Roy Malloy. His name is Roy Malloy. Okay. And he's done a review on the prizes that you will find inside these Christmas crackers. Roy Malloy's toy review.

Exactly. So take a listen as to what you get in the deluxe Christmas cracker pack. Let me show you what's in these bonbons, right? So there's a spring with a paper clip. There's what I presume is a bookmark. I have no idea what that is. I think it's a piece of string. Okay, a padlock, if you need a padlock.

It's Christmas morning and you pull your cracker and you get tweezers. I get this one. It's a key ring, right? And then equally, that's a bottle opener. But this is literally one of the prizes. A bulldog clip is one of the prizes. Yeah, that's taking the piss. A bulldog clip.

This is meant to be a deluxe Christmas cracker pack. And a stupid hat and a bad joke. That's what you get. Yeah, that obviously comes with it. But that's what you expect. I often wonder, what do you want in a Christmas cracker pack. And a stupid hat and a bad joke. That obviously comes with it. I often wonder what do you want in a Christmas cracker? Because they're always rubbish, but what do you want to come out of it? I feel like in recent years

we have excelled in the advent calendar. They've really upped the game in different advent calendars you can get. Beauty products and little candles. Cheeses, a beer advent calendar. I did have a look into the deluxe world of Christmas crackers, and this is kind of what I've found that's on the market at the moment.

So you can get an – I never know if it's OP or OPI, but it's a very popular nail polish. But they do a Christmas cracker pack. So you get a different nail polish in each of them. I believe so. You get like little nail polishes. Uncle Derek would love that. He would love it.

But I mean, you know, better than a bulldog clip. It's good. I like that. That retails at about $33. For a pack of Christmas crackers? For a pack of Christmas crackers. That's not bad. Not bad.

How many do you get? Like six. I'm not too sure. I think it's six. I think it's six. That's not bad. Not bad. Wait, how many did you get? Like six. I'm not too sure. I think it's six. Yeah, fun. I think it's six. Great, love that. Next one on the list that I found is on the market at the moment.

It's called the Mystige Gold Stardust Crackers with Swarovski crystals in it. Okay, wow, yeah. So it retails at about $65, but I believe there's different jewellery items in the crackers. That's fun. Like necklaces and rings and that kind of thing. Yeah, that's nice. Not bad.

And the last one I found, if you're looking for bougie Christmas crackers this year, is Glasshouse Fragrances. They're killing it. They are killing the game. Glasshouse Fragrances, They're killing it. They are killing the game. Glasshouse Fragrances, we all know Glasshouse Candles. They do some amazing candles. They have Christmas crackers and it comes with a bunch of different things. So you can get a room scent or you can get like a moisturiser

and different things like that. If the Glasshouse people are listening, we would love to review those Christmas crackers for you. We are the people to review them. crackers for you. We are the people to review them. We would gladly. We are the authority. Would review your Christmas crackers from Glasshouse Fragrances. I've had an idea for a while that I've never put into practice.

Yes. Where, you know those little mini bottles of alcohol? Great idea. I buy those. I get the Christmas crackers. I undo the end and I just slip them in before Christmas. And then at adults table, you pull the Christmas cracker and whatever mini bottle of alcohol you get,

if you get it, you have to drink it. Like it. You drink it at the table in front of everybody. I can just picture, you know when people get way too into pulling the Christmas crackers apart and it flies open and a little bottle of vodka hits Aunty Julie in the forehead? Yeah. Yeah, well, she wouldn't have to drink it

because she'd be knocked unconscious. That's part of the magic of Christmas, though. It's part of the forehead. Yeah. Yeah, well, she wouldn't have to drink it because she'd be knocked unconscious. That's part of the magic of Christmas, though. It's part of the fun. Brie and Clint. Brie and Clint. Because it's America, there's a lot of chat around who is going to be the next president of the United States. And again, because it's America, they're not talking about politicians.

They're talking about which celebrity, which TV celebrity, which movie star they think would be the best person to run the most powerful country in the world. Why are movie stars all of a sudden? I mean, I know Arnold Schwarzenegger did it. Yeah. But then... He wasn't the first.

It was Jimmy Carter. Who was the president? Who was the guy who... They had someone who was like a bona fide Claude at the research desk. Google Hollywood actor president. And he quit Hollywood. He was really good looking. And he was super popular. And he quit Hollywood to run for president.

Are you talking about Reagan? Yeah. Ronald Reagan? Am I? I am, eh? Are you calling Ronald Reaganald reagan really good looking he was is that your type he was in this day was he i'm out of my depth there was a really handsome like reagan vintage hollywood actor who who left acting and went to become a yeah ronald

and nancy reagan i'm not wrong question me it's on google you can't be wrong no i'm just questioning whether ronald reagan was a deliciously hot man. Google young Ronald Reagan. Okay, hold on. Young Ronald Reagan. Yeah. Oh, this is the moment we find out. Hold on.

I want to make sure. Oh, he was all right. What are you talking about? I mean, he was all right. That's a handsome man. Well, it's good to know we know your type. Well, the next handsome man putting up his hand, his handsome hand to be the president is The Rock.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson from Fast and the Furious. No, The Rock. No. Just because you made a wonderful transition from WWE into the world of acting. And tequila. And tequila. You've done very well.

Doesn't mean you can be a politician or the president. He's coming about it in an interesting way by saying he's been asked to be president. He's not saying, I want to run for president. He's going, people keep asking me to be the president. That's like people jumping on Instagram going, people keep asking me where I got my nails done. And I would love to tell you because I'm being sponsored.

People who say, people keep asking about my skincare routine. No one ever asked. No one. No one. Maybe one person asked. Last night The Rock went on Jimmy Fallon to address it. Okay, what did he say? Straight to the heart of it.

Have a listen to this. You mentioned on a podcast that you were approached by a party to maybe run for president, run for office. How does that feel, by the way, when that happens? It's crazy and it's wild. This run for president talk has kind of been in the ether for the past couple of years. And it just it never stops being surreal. The poll was something like almost 50 percent of Americans would support me running for president.

It was just crazy. It's so weird. Like half of the country think that I am the best president ever. I mean, I can see it because I would be amazing. He keeps dancing around it though and saying oh they want me to do it they want me to do it

so Jimmy Fallon to his credit asked him straight up and they said are you going to run for president would this be something that you would ever consider

I think down the road for sure I've said this before I'm a proud girl dad and I know what that's like to have an occupation that takes me away from being a daddy and this time around with my seven and girl dad, and I know what that's like to have an occupation that takes me away from being a daddy.

And this time around, with my seven and my five-year-old, I want to be a daddy. So put it in your diaries. He's got it as young as five. In 15 years' time, The Rock will be running for president. He gets up to the podium to make a speech, and he goes, Can you smell what the coalition is cooking? What a world we live in, right?

Oh, God. Brian Clint. Bill shock, one of the worst feelings you can have. You've eaten something, you've drunk something, you've put some sort of clothing down on the counter. You've said to the mechanic, yeah, just fix the car. And then you realise you're in big trouble with how much it costs. There's a woman who has shared online her immense bull shock.

Bill Bull? Bull shock. That's even worse than Bill shock. You know what? Bull shock. Next minute, bull comes around the corner. I'm shocked. I'm shocked.

I'll pay. I'll pay. I'll pay.'ll pay I'll pay I swear She was staying at a five star hotel With her husband I think they were there For like five nights

Yeah And it sounds like a Bougie AF hotel Nice Like a real nice hotel Yep Her and her husband Were at the

Were at the bar And she decides She'll order a cocktail Yep And she's made a slight error And when she got the bill Oh my god Take a listen to how much this cocktail she just drunk cost when i discovered the cocktail i had ordered was

two thousand pounds i showed my husband the receipt and he was furious at me i said to the young guy behind the bar look i'm so'm so sorry. I had no idea this was £1,890. It was set out on the menu where it said 1-8 Gap 9-0. So I presumed it was £18.90. This was a five-star hotel. So the manager was so discreet and so wonderful. He was like, look, it's fine. Don't worry about it. Go up to your room, enjoy the rest of your stay, and we will sort this out. So many things. So misleading.

So many things. So let's break it down. It's nearly a $4,000 cocktail. In New Zealand dollars. In New Zealand dollars. The look on Ella's face when she just heard how much it was. So I was like. I was like, that's more than my car.

Literally, like how? What's in it? I was thinking the same thing, Ella. I was thinking that too. And it was a whiskey-based cocktail, which if you know whiskey, you would know that there is, you know, like 50-year-old or 100. And if they're using that 100-year-old whiskey, they charge exuberant amounts.

I know whiskey but they're not putting a whole bottle in they're putting in a shot i know crazy crazy and i love how misleading the menu obviously was yeah because she said yeah she goes on to say that the other cocktails on the menu were like you know 30 pounds or 25. There is nothing they can put in it that would make it actually worth that much. It would be all about the status of ordering a $2,000 cocktail, like how I imagine everything is in Dubai. Even if I was a billionaire, I don't think I could ever bring myself to order a 2,000 pound cocktail.

If I was a billionaire, I'd get great pleasure out of ordering like a JDd's and coke yeah you know yeah give me a woody's uh anyway i can't believe they let her off she caught up with the manager like days later and he joked with her and said that he'd fired the bartender yeah and he should have that's that's that would be appropriate because the bartender should have told her like just gone hey just so you know do you understand this is a 2000 but then you can imagine some people getting offended by that 100% Why do you not think I can afford it I'd much rather someone get offended

than the look on someone's face when you tell them they've just drunk $4,000 in a cocktail If I was the barman and someone said to me do I not look like I can afford it I'd say I don't think anybody can afford this drink. Unless you're Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos,

I don't think you can. Well, there you go. There's a life hack for you this weekend. Go to a restaurant, order the most expensive drink on the menu, and then at the end go, oh, I didn't know it cost that much, and they'll give it to you for free. I thought it was the house wine. Brie and Clint. Once upon a time There was a girl

Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. That's Timmy Trumpet and Savage on ZM. It's Freaks. The winner of Birthday Banger, that song, 2014. It will be 10 years old next year. Wow. Still gets me going just as much as in 2014.

I don't know what it is about that song. Takes me back to my uni days where I was at a toga party and just the vibes were there. I think there's a version of that song that doesn't have Savage on it. Like I think it was a Timmy Trumpet song. And he came on later. And he came on later. I'm pretty sure you're right.

It doesn't hit the same. Nah, it's nowhere near as good. And just the combo. Just magic combo. We're talking about like it's like a Grammy winning song. It's Timmy Trump hood and Savage Freaks and it's bloody good. It's very good. I love it. Play it at my funeral.

I'd be keen. We need to talk about what's going on in the baby products world. Well, this is big around Christmas as well. And people who want to get bougie baby presents for Christmas. I just want to say before we talk about this, I'm not on board. I'm not on board at all. Baby's not on board here.

We're not on board. There's quite a few different things popping up that are just strange. One of them is from fashion brand Dior, very luxurious fashion brand, but they have sparked backlash for their baby product. It's new and it's scented water for babies. So baby perfume. Essentially baby perfume, but get this, it retails at $361. It's scented water. It's scented water. It retails at $361.

It's scented water. It's scented water. Here's some intel that you might have needed before you put this product out, Dior. Babies smell incredible. Babies smell the best. Like there's something called new car smell. There's also something called new baby smell. Smell their heads. You can't recreate it.

It can't be beat. I don't want my baby to smell anything else, except maybe when they poo themselves. But, you know, that's temporary. Then you wipe that off and then they go back to smelling like a baby. They should bring out a Dior perfume for adults, but it's baby scented. But it's baby scented. See, that's a good idea.

And you just spray it on the top of your head. They say that it's got notes of pear, wild rose and white musks. That same company, Dior, they have a line called Baby Dior now. They've released a baby moisturiser, a baby cleansing water and a baby cleansing foam as well. So your baby can be like a beauty influencer. Imagine if your baby started a skin routine when they were three months old. Like that's what it is.

That package of products for your baby from Dior is $910, by the way. Honestly. No baby needs that. It's getting to the point where rich people have so much money that they don't know what to spend it on. So they're creating products that are just so superfluous. I thought, you know, in this world, stuff that they could create for babies that would sell like hotcakes.

Yeah. Baby high heels. Yeah, little stripper heels for babies. Yeah. Baby bras. Okay, yeah, okay. Baby G-strings. Oh, okay.

And then bottle openers for babies. Okay, right. Can we put those on the maybe pile? You know how dumb it sounds? It feels a bit Balenciaga to me. You know how dumb it sounds? Because Dior, you sound that dumb. Like you know how dumb it sounds a bit balenciaga to me you know how dumb it sounds because do you sound that dumb like you sound that dumb like baby baby perfume come on do you let your partner win to keep the peace uh there's new research from uh the north china university of science and Technology,

what a mouthful, where they've found that competitions like Jenga, Connect Four and mini golf, men are happy to let their partners win to keep the peace. Which I've read what they've done in the study and I don't know how legit it is. So what they did was is they split a group of women into two groups. They pitted one group of women against their partners and then the other group of women were competing against total strangers

and they had their brain activity monitored. So the study found that even though women concentrated and competed harder against the strangers than they did against their partners, they were still more likely to win when playing against their partner. Right, okay. So the scientists have put it down to spouse retention behaviour in men, i.e. men let their partners win so they don't get in trouble.

It's just, I mean, you've uncovered our secrets here, Bree, but it's just something that us men do as a kindness. It's like how I always let Claudia or Ella win Google Down. You know, it's just a... Sorry, did you say let us win? I think, no. Well, I'll just say, if you look at the data, I haven't won Google Down in a very, very long time, and both of you have. So according to the same science that the North China University

of Science and Technology is using, the only logical answer for that is that I am letting you win. Or you're not good at it. You're welcome. Thank you. You're welcome. You're welcome. Thank you.

And as part of my kindness, I will let you think that I am not letting you win and that you're beating me with your own. He's so kind, isn't he? I might let him win next week. I've honestly zoned out. Claudia. Claudia, I love that little jab from you in the corner. I might let him win next week.

If you could, that would actually be quite nice. My ego could really do a little impression. I'll do that for you. You know who we should stop letting win? No. His children. Oh, yeah. You know how you always let kids win because that's the nice thing to do.

Yeah. But, nah, not me. Especially in touch rugby. It's game over, bitch. It's game over. Bree and Clint. I'd said before that I've got a hack for you to get 11 days off this summer and only spend three days of annual leave.

Because I don't know how much annual leave people have got by this time of year. Not much. Once you've done your hot girl summer in Europe and you're... It's gone. It's gone. Yeah, that's enough. It's gone. So before I start, this only works if you have a Monday to Friday job.

Okay. So if you normally have the weekends off. But I mean, there's info in there that you could use to hack your own schedule if you do shift work or whatever it is. But this mainly works for the Monday to Fridays. Got it. Yeah. So by default, you always get four public holidays over Christmas. You get Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day,

and the 2nd of January. They're your public holidays. You get those for free. Okay, so those count as part of this. Because both sets of those public holidays this year fall on a Monday and Tuesday, Christmas is a Monday, Boxing Day is a Tuesday, New Year's Day, Monday, Christmas Day,

sorry, 2nd Tuesday, you are automatically getting two four-day weekends in a row got it uh so if you take three days of annual leave between those two four-day weekends the 27th the 28th and 29th you will end up with 11 days of leave from the 23rd of december right through to the 3rd of jan. Perfect. Pretty good, right? Love it. And then, say you've got a bit more leave, if you took the 3rd, 4th and 5th off of Jan, then you would get a 16-day summer holiday and it would only cost you six days of annual

leave. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty bloody good. And you should do it too. You should do it. Absolutely, you should do it. And you know how there's times or at some workplaces where they're like,

oh, you know, but you – and they try and detour you from doing it. No. It would be great for your career if you – I mean, someone's got to run the building. This would give you a great opportunity to be your own boss. Great experience. You know what is good experience? Having a hot girl summer.

At the beach. Yeah, at the beach. The beach is a great experience. It's such a good experience. Hopefully you're getting a break whatever you do this summer. There's your hack. Use it as you will. This is another one of those stories about someone who has cheated

by using a car during a marathon, which just makes no sense to me. Yeah. No sense. Like way more subtle as a motorbike. Or a lime scooter. Or a lime scooter. Top British ultra marathon runner has been banned for using a car during the race. Her name's

Joanna Zak Zakrewiski. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. She's had her punishment. She's a GP from Dumfries in Scotland. So she's not a dumb person. She might be from Dumfries, but she's not dumb.

Of course she's not dumb. She's a GP. Yeah, she's smart. That's why she used a car for an ultramarathon. I'm on board with Joanna. She claims there was a miscommunication

after she was sick, tired and jet lagged heading to this ultramarathon. I mean, fair enough. She says that she developed a pain in her leg and then accepted the offer of a lift from a friend

in a car to the next checkpoint that she ordered on Uber. She also said that she told the race marshals about her using a car for part of the race and she says that they were fine with it. On what planet? I love her.

I want to party with Joanna. On what planet? I love her. Because it says she's like a proper representative ultra marathon runner. It's an actual serious marathon. It's not just like the Auckland Marathon where you can sign up and you do it because you get the satisfaction. She's been banned for competing in any licensed races, representing Great Britain, coaching or managing for 12 months. Oh gutted. That's her stand down

period. Gutted. I can't do any more ultra marathons for 12 months. Oh, gutted. That's her stand down period. Gutted. I can't do any more ultra marathons for 12 months. Oh, I'm so sad. I wouldn't want to do another ultra marathon for 12 months after I did one. You know, I had a friend, my friend Jackie, who competed. She was one of the youngest people ever to complete five ultra marathons in one year throughout different parts of the globe. Oh, yeah, okay. On five different continents or something. Five different continents.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Five different kind of like landscapes. Like one was like in ice and snow and one was in like the desert and all that kind of stuff. It nearly killed it. Yeah. Like, duh. The human body is not made to do that.

Like just outrageous how much your body goes through in one ultramarathon. The most outrageous part about this lady using a car to cheat in the ultramarathon is that she only came third. Yeah, but she didn't want to make it too obvious. That's smart. If you're going to cheat. That's smart.

She's still on the podium. They're still going to look into her. Yeah, she should have went with fourth. No one's looking into fourth. Joanna, that was the one flaw in your seamless plan. Free and Clint. We are done for the day. We are heading down to Spark Arena to get amongst Friday's live.

We're actually already there. This is pre-recorded. No. Nah, just jokes. We're just kidding. I'm pre-recorded. No. Nah, just jokes. I'm being serious though. I wasn't going to miss Kelly Rowland. Nah, and we won't. I mean, we won't. She's waiting for us. We are already there. We have an Uber waiting for us.

No. We've been there for an hour. We've got an Uber waiting outside for us. Just talking the truth. We've got to go. I like to be transparent on this show. Well, legally you're not allowed to be transparent. We're coming to you from the grave. Have a great night, everybody. Hopefully, we'll see you down there at Spark Arena. And if not, we'll catch you tomorrow on the Brian Clint Show.
