| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk podcast. |
| 0:29.9 | Smackdown review with a bit of AW rampage on the side. I am El Fakidor, Laurie Blake, and I am |
| 0:35.2 | standing in for Chopper Pete Quinnell who's having an early Christmas Christmas by having some |
| 0:39.2 | time off. And I'm joined by his regular partner in crime tempest. How are you doing my friend? |
| 0:45.3 | We don't get to do these very often. I know it's just about to say I think this is like the second |
| 0:50.0 | one that we've ever done together. So that's very exciting. I'm doing well, you know. I think I've |
| 0:55.7 | finally reached a bit of that Christmas spirit and that I can watch Smackdown and just be like, |
| 1:00.9 | oh, it's not that big a deal. Who cares? Let's just watch a show and then get on with |
| 1:05.2 | with the Christmas spirit and get on with life. It's almost the end of the year. We won't have to |

| 1:32.5 | watching AEW content most of the time. So if I get to the end, it's like nine or 10 o'clock on |
| 1:39.2 | Christmas day. I'll probably be about ready to pass out full of turkey by that point. So if I |
| 1:44.5 | want to just put something on and follow sleep to it, it'll probably be Ram Page. |
| 1:48.7 | Nice. I mean, is there a big tradition in Canada of like Christmas specials of regular TV shows |
| 1:55.3 | because we obviously have that over here. We get, you know, the doctor who Christmas specials, |
| 1:58.9 | we get Christmas specials of all these kind of like cult classic programs that have just been made |
| 2:04.8 | specifically to go out on Christmas Day or New Year's Day even. And that becomes quite a bit |
| 2:09.7 | of a thing to be like, are you going to watch the Christmas strictly come dancing? Are you going to |
| 2:12.9 | watch the Christmas this? Are you going to watch the Christmas that? I mean, I don't. To be honest, |
