0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Fleet.
0:20.0	Ah, yes, welcome back, my friends, to another audio adventure here on Insight.
0:25.9	I'm CBV, Chris Van Fleet.
0:28.3	Thank you for hitting play on this episode.
0:30.6	And thank you for making Insight the number one wrestling podcast on the planet.
0:36.4	Hit an elbow drop on that follow button on Spotify or Apple
0:40.2	or wherever you're listening. You certainly don't want to be one of those gibronies who just
0:45.5	listens to the show all the time but hasn't hit follow yet. And according to the numbers,
0:50.8	that's a lot of you. That's like more than half of you. And I don't want you
0:55.9	specifically to be known as a gibbonny. So just check right now. Check to see if you're following the
1:02.1	show. And if you haven't yet hit that follow button with an elbow drop, it would be so, so

1:18.6	going to be such a good one. Tickets are available now at CVVTX.com. That's CVVTIX.com. Great to have
1:27.4	Matt Cardona back on the show. Also, happy 40th birthday to Matt.
1:32.4	As you're listening right now, his birthday was yesterday, May 14th. He's been on the show many
1:38.5	times since he was released from WWE in April 2020. And I'm always so impressed by his business mindset when it comes to
1:47.1	wrestling. And that's not a new thing. Like this dates back to when he was doing the Zee True
1:51.5	Long Island story on YouTube and calling himself the internet champion. But I don't think there's
1:57.3	anyone in wrestling, certainly not an independent wrestling who approaches
2:02.0	it the way that he does. There's actually a perfect example during this interview where he talks
2:08.0	about reaching out to John Sina to ask if he would be his opponent for when G.CW was at
