five boss brought to you by our new friends at
livit Well. If you listen, if you're going to be
if you're going to join us with the Unwrappening, you
better live it right and you better want it Yes.
Livit Folks was built on a simple idea, put the
most proven performance ingredients in one system at the right doses,

(00:23):
so you don't need a shell full of supplements to
train at a high level this holiday season, or maybe
to work off those holiday pounds. That's a good point.
You need to work off those off those off the turkey,
Off the turkey sandwiches number one, the sandwiches you gotta
or work off that pumpkin pie. You gotta work off
that mincemeat pie coming up Christmas time. Yeah, a lot
to work off the New Year champagne as well. Absolutely.

(00:44):
Instead of piecing together pre workouts creating electrolytes and amino
acids from different brands, TLF proved Livit Yes brings together
the ingredients with the strongest research behind them for building
muscle and proving endurance, supporting hydration and maintaining energy. Motherfucker
activate from livit sets the tone before training with clinically
supported ingredients for focus, blood flow, endurance, and sustained energy.

(01:07):
We know something about flow, don't mean absolutely, and I'm
not talking about progressive. We know that we know about flow,
We know about flow, and we know about endurance and
going for the long haul. Recover from livit delivers what
your body relies on afterward, essential amino acids, creating electrolytes
and carbohydrates so you can rebuild muscles, stay hydrated, and

(01:29):
actually benefit from the work you put in. It's a complete,
clean system designed by doctors and former wrestlers, ladies and
gentlemen who wanted formulas based on real evidence, not trends.
If you're looking for performance and you want to do
it in a way that's TLF approved this holiday season

yourself like this?

Speaker 1 (05:21):
It's insane. It's insane.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Unlike the last few unwrappings where I have annoyingly filled
your houses with wrestling if ef firma ephemera, this time
I have focused on stuff you've mentioned wanting, sometimes facetiously
on one of the many shows that fall into the
Laps Entertainment Group's audio empire. Yes, I probably went a
bit overboard as usual, but I stand by the dream
of the big Christmas while also promising to slow down

(05:46):
next year, which she said last year as well. I
should mention there are a couple of notes with the gifts,
with explanations and in one case instructions yes to be
opened after you've opened the actual gifts. Thank you for
another incredible year featuring the X for chronicling of the
death of Scenamanium as one of my old buddies said
about good old John. Anyone can kill one wrestling. Anyone

(06:07):
can kill one wrestling boom. It takes a special talent
to kill two. Right, Merry Christmas and half a new
Year to you and yours and thank you for the
Vienna Mania best Tom.

this was a thing if they did, but apparently they do.

(13:55):
And uh it's not Xanta clause. It is just old clause.
Me just a Santa. It's a Santa fucking Well, there's
always a Santa angle every year, so usually where I'm
Survivor series, it makes sense that there'll be a wrestling
action figure of Santa Claus as well. That is wild.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
This is I'm hud. That really is like, I haven't
received this many toys for Christmas since I don't know

I mean, some of those Hasbros. When I always tell
that story of that Christmas when I got all those Hasbros,
dug In and Piper, I'm pretty sure we're in there.
So I'm I'm right back there right now, and it
feels pretty damn amazing. This was a wild, wild, fucking haul.
Someone said earlier in the unwrapping it wouldn't be Christmas

(14:41):
without wrestling toys. And consider that box checked Boss Savage, Sad,
all Hogan's opponents, even Santa Claus, Big Boss. This is
fucking look at them, look at Big Boss. The problem
is here because I really want to open it. Yeah,
it's in package, you know, that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
I really want to open it because I mean It's
like it ruins any kind of worth it has.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Does that matter?

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Probably not, He's go open it. I don't know, there's
a part of me. I mean, this was like the ultimate.
This was the This was the ultimate, my ultimate Hull Cogan,
that Hull cogd right there, that one right there that
was Hasbro on from earlier. Hasbro would fucking slam you know,

(15:32):
I do all the things. He'd lift him up, fall back.
You know, he'd sit on his face, you know for that,
you know, you know he did drop the leg. I
don't know, this was crazy. This is a good one.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
God damn remarkable stuff. Jesus well, I guess all up
all night and actually, can you believe it? More to
