Christian Matyi (a.k.a. "XN") would seem to be at the height of his brodcasting career. In other words, it doesn't get any better than this garbage.

The sideshow from which XN escaped has not yet caught up with him. In the meantime, XN has been involved with the competitive physique sports for over 15 years,and has also coached scores of competitive athletes. He is also the founder of an academic project to expand the humanities track of physique studies, and of a team-based competitive physique spoirts league. But mostly XN been making himself laugh (even while no one else joins in) since he was a child.

Master of the unnecessary tangent, XN doesn't just encourage his listeners to dive into his pool of esoteric facts -- he shoves them in head first. Always drawing on the "big picture," XN has been occasionally known to make a cohesive point. He has been in performing arts since he was a child, and is also a creative contractor, branding manager, copywriter, illustrator, graphic deisgner, and megalomaniac.

XN drinks about 5 pots of tea every day and rarely takes "his pills.".

But to say The Big Inside was only XN's fault -- er -- we mean, XN's work, well, that would be a gross understatement. It takes a lot of idiots to make a mess this big.

XN is joined each week by one of his many tech producer's, Chris Villani, Brian Uluski ("B.U."), or the infamous Mike McKay. generally, these guys hang out in the booth, order pizza, and try to look busy by pressing as many of the shiny little buttons they can find. They also tend to give XN no end of crap, which is actually their main job.

XN also has a cast of regular guests who fill in the canyon-sized gaps in XN's field of information. Field reporter Kevin Quinn brings us his weekly updates on gyms and comeptitions (an also his bowel movements). Dr. Mike Nicolosi comes on to discuss the medical end of things, and also beg women for dates. Scott Bottorff beings us into the world of dynamic and sports training while doing really awful Arnold impersonations. These goons and many others stop in to make the show an even bigger debaucle than XN could all by himself.

Simply put, XN starts every show with three simple goals:

• Try to finish at least one sentence without going off on a tangent.
• Make sure no one gets to take themselves too seriously. (Read: everyone's a target.)
• Make the show accessible enough that even his mom could get something out of it. (Hi, Barbara.)

One day he may actually manage to accomplish these tasks.

Until then, welcome to The Big Inside.
