0:00.0	Hello, everybody. I'm Brandon Thurston Broadcasting live and on-demand, South Buffalo, where I gave
0:09.0	myself just enough time to maybe make this live in-person broadcast. A long-time listeners
0:16.1	may remember when we did this. We did this once before in-person, but wow, this was
0:23.0	a production. I've been working now and stopped for the last hour. We've moved things around
0:27.9	in this room here. Goal, we've got a new microphone, so I decided to come over here and set it up
0:33.3	and play with a lot of other audio interactions that I've acquired recently. And here's my
0:39.2	co-host, Chris Gull, to tell you what we're going to talk about today. Yeah, so we actually have a
0:43.2	very packed show today. We're going to talk about AEW paperview buys. We're a week since revolution,
0:50.7	so we'll kind of touch on that and compare it to previous paperviews. We're also going to discuss
0:56.0	WW2K22 that came out this past week. We got some streaming rights deals for baseball that we're
1:04.9	going to discuss, as well as we got compensatory agreements for Nikon and Vince McMahon. They got
1:12.7	raises. They got raises. That's right. Well, we'll get right into AEW paperviews as we have an
1:21.7	estimation as far as revolution that happened, like I said, March 6, 2022, and we're estimating about
1:28.4	146,000 to 170,000 paperview buys. Yes, that's according to Dave Meltzer. I did ask about that too,
1:36.0	and that looks like the number of paperview buys that I was told that that is accurate. That would
1:42.0	put it, you can see over my right shoulder, the massive, all-out number that all-out did. The first
1:50.6	paperview with CM Punk, the paperview where Brian Danes and Adam Cole were not advertised, but they
1:55.2	debuted. That's the record with about 205,000 buys. This one looks to have done just over what, at
2:03.0	least just over what full gear did in November. AEW paperviews have been up year over year, and this
2:08.4	continues that streak. Double or nothing is coming up next. Ticket sales are strong. Double or nothing
2:16.6	will have to be more than 115,000 buys to keep that year over year increase streak going. Again,
2:24.9	this one did between 146 and 170. The median of that is what? Well, I mean, it's pop quiz.
