| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Conrad Thompson and you're listening to 83 weeks with Eric Bischoff and Eric. |
| 0:05.8 | We've got something special lined up today, don't we? |
| 0:09.2 | We do indeed. I'm so excited about this. Actually, the industry's first real journalist, |
| 0:16.6 | a real journalist, and a real book on the history of Nitro. And I'm so excited to be here and be |
| 0:22.8 | a part of it. Of course, we're talking about the book that has basically been the basis of this |
| 0:27.6 | podcast. Nitro, the incredible rise and inevitable collapse of Ted Turner's WCW. And today, |
| 0:33.6 | we are joined by a very first thing we've ever done on the show like this, the incredible guest |
| 0:39.8 | that we've been waiting for, Mr. Guy Evans. Guy, welcome to the show. We don't normally do |
| 0:45.8 | guests from making an exception here because Eric and I are so high on your book. We appreciate |
| 0:50.3 | you taking the time out to join us here today and talk a little bit about the good old days of WCW. |

| 1:14.0 | so many people I know find out about the book from your show. So I'm really pleased to be here with you. |
| 1:19.9 | Well, you guys, I just want to say, kind of, I'm sorry to interrupt you, bro. I just want to say, |
| 1:26.0 | just right off the bat because I'm sure we're going to have listeners that are going to think, |
| 1:31.3 | well, the only reason Eric and Conrad have a guy on the show is because he's putting Eric over |
| 1:38.2 | or he's putting WCW over from Eric and I want to say that when I got your book and I went through |
| 1:44.8 | it online and I burned through it like in about 12 hours straight. I'm not a speed reader, |
| 1:50.8 | but I went through it as fast as I could. There were a lot of things in this book that were not |
| 1:56.6 | necessarily complimentary to me. And that notwithstanding the accuracy and the effort that you put |
| 2:06.4 | into this book is what makes it stand out for me. Not whether it put me over or buried me, |
