Chris and Gabe talk about working in live events, both at the best of times and the worst of times, how they imagine these shows will change, and what it really takes to execute and pull these shows off on-site.

Full Disclosure: Chris and Gabe are great friends, so this one is casual, but opens up a lot of fun tangents that give a look into how the industry works.

The Lapsed Fan is a podcast that focuses on professional wrestling the way it was meant to be. For 7 years now, Jack Encarnacao and JP Sarro have espoused the fact that "it used to be better" during marathon episodes of their passion project. TLF - for short - does what most podcasts are unable to do - it makes money.

On the show this week, we go back to Jack and JP's chance meeting in college, we talk about pain, post-modernism, and how they've managed to turn a highly engaged audience into a 6-figure paycheck. Spoiler: It isn't easy.

Buckle in, like everything TLF does, this one is long and deep.
