Hello, it's John Pollock, and this is a special free sample of the most recent edition of Book Club, a show that Neil Flanagan and I host on a monthly basis for our Double and Espresso members.

On this month's show, we are chatting about Under the Black Hat, which was Jim Ross's second biography that he released in 2020, along with Paul O'Brien, talking about his tenure in WWE, his tumultuous relationship with

Vince McMahon, and many other topics, including signing with AEW in 2019.

So we're going to give you the first 20 minutes or so of the episode.

The full show is two hours, and if you would like to upgrade to the double double or espresso

tier, you get the

entire show, and this comes out monthly. Next month, we're going to be chatting about say hello to the

bad guys, Mark Remundi's new book that is coming out this week covering the history of the NWO. So here is

Neil Flanagan and I starting things off with our thoughts on Original Sin by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson of Axios and then getting into Under the Black Hat.

Neil Flanagan joins me. Today we are going under the black hat.

Well, we are here to talk about Jim Ross's second autobiography that he put out.

This was back in 2020, but we're going to, first of all, get Neil, what is on your

Is there anything that you have been focusing on of late?
