<v Speaker 2>of the big Christmas while also promising to slow down
<v Speaker 2>next year, which she said last year as well. I
<v Speaker 2>should mention there are a couple of notes with the gifts,

<v Speaker 1>So I'm I'm right back there right now, and it
<v Speaker 1>feels pretty damn amazing. This was a wild, wild, fucking haul.
<v Speaker 1>Someone said earlier in the unwrapping it wouldn't be Christmas
<v Speaker 1>without wrestling toys. And consider that box checked Boss Savage, Sad,

<v Speaker 2>that Hull cogd right there, that one right there that
<v Speaker 2>was Hasbro on from earlier. Hasbro would fucking slam you know,
<v Speaker 2>I do all the things. He'd lift him up, fall back.
