| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another edition of Pollock and Thurston. I am John Pollock. He is Brandon |
| 0:05.6 | Thurston. Both of us are indoors right now, staying away from the toxic air that is permeating throughout |
| 0:14.8 | the Northeast United States coming courtesy of Canada that everyone is blaming us for. How are you |
| 0:20.6 | doing today, Brandon? And good. The air quality seems to be better today than it was yesterday, |
| 0:24.8 | but it definitely smelled like someone was cooking up some hot dogs or something yesterday. |
| 0:29.6 | Yes. It's quite the unique smell if you are out and about wherever you are, whether you are |
| 0:35.7 | in Buffalo, whether you are in Toronto or all parts in between. But the question I want to ask you |

| 1:32.8 | spreadsheet of guests that we seek out. And Andrew Zarian definitely someone on the list. So this |
| 1:38.6 | was the week that we want to have you on. Because you know, with with collision coming up on June 17th, |
| 1:44.3 | you've done a lot of great reporting pretty much from the get go of this being an idea that formed |
| 1:50.0 | and now into this two hour prime time show for AEW going back to when you were starting the |
| 1:55.5 | first year rumblings about the idea of a new Saturday night show. What were some of your initial |
