Episode 107… The last full episode of the year has dropped with my brother “cap” Bionic Benny. As you could see, I’m being a little selfish with the last episode of the year. Benny was one of the first people that called me during my sh!t time this year and has been a rock of a friend that I could depend on. Benny went thru the same things I have and more and I just felt he deserved to tell his story.
 
Plus the last all new 15 Minutes of Lame of the year with Brett Towers of Jersey Guys Balls.
 
The 2023 15 Minutes of Lame contest begins on December 1st at 8PM with a live episode of SATFM featuring last years winners Leviathan Snakes where we will also simulcast the new film 15MINS – A Ball Python Documentary at 9PM EST!
 
Thank you guys for a year of unbelievable support… way more than a guy like me deserves.

Episode 105 drops with Tim Jackowicz of Intrepid Exotics. I met Tim at ReticFest this year and due to circumstances beyond my control, I didn’t get to talk to him enough there. We have now remedied that situation!
 
Also, on a brand new 15 Minutes of Lame, we have West Coast powerhouses Danny and Renae Rocha of Portuguese Pythons!
 
We have 3 episodes left until the launch of the 2023 15 Minutes of Lame Contest and the premiere of “15 Minutes: A Ball Python Documentary” by Courtney and Steven Capps of Leviathan Snakes! We’re ending this year with a bang!
 
Oct 17, 2023
… And we’re back with Episode 104. Just remember, ¾ of the Fatman is still better than all of the other sh!t out there. We prove it by bringing you the legend Ken Macek of Ken Macek Reptiles. I’ve known Kenny for over a decade and we talk stories from days gone by and how the basics never change.
 
Not only that, but on a brand new 15 Minutes of Lame, we bring you the southern Irishman Matt O’Malley of O’Malley’s Morphs.
 
It’s good to be back guys. This episode premiers at noon tomorrow on the SATFM YouTYube Channel.
Jul 16, 2023
Episode 103 with Dr. Joe Ferrara, where we talk about how he literally houses his collection in the classroom to teach his students about genetics.
 
On a brand new 15 Minutes of Lame we have the Brooklyn Hipsters who raise snakes and chickens from Minnesota, Chakra Scales!
 
Also, my take on Ball Python hypocrites and shouting out one of the best people in the hobby! Hint - he's an old cement worker with a Chicago attitude and is probably the most charming hideous dude you'll ever wanna sleep with!
 
Jul 1, 2023
Episode 102 with my West Coast twin Bob Bledsoe of Green Room Pythons. Scruffy beard, fat guy, comedian, musician, loves reptiles…. The “in common” list goes on and on… Brother from another mother… Brother from another f’n mother. You’re gonna love this guy.
 
Also, my take on the Slither Files, hypocrites, and the infamous phone call that took place yesterday and was released publicly.
 
I know you’re thinking… “Chris there can’t be more can there?”…. YES… The hot, badass pirate Ann Ring of Mosaic Morphs is gonna be on an all new 15 Minutes of Lame!’
 
This is one of those must watch episodes. Trust me.

Recorded LIVE for the first time ever.  

We celebrate Episode 100. Will there be special big name guests? Will there be smoking hot chicks? I don’t know yet. I’m just putting this sh!t together now. But… I got a feeling the answer will be yes.

I sit down with my old friend Brian Kaczmarczyk of Reptile Deli for basically what is a master class on reptile business development 101. I’ve known Brian for almost 15 years and have watched him grow his business from a storage pod to a 25,000 square foot facility in a state where they make it almost impossible for a small business to succeed, let alone grow! Plus a brand new 15 Minutes of Lame with the Pacific North West’s own Justin Brill of Stoneage Ball Pythons. Stop by and have a little fun. Premiering tomorrow 5/15/23 at noon only on the Snakes and the Fatman YouTube Channel.

Episode 98 with Blues Visual Artist and Guitarist Grego Anderson of MojoHand. My place is covered in Blues Art by Grego and he’s a guy that I wanted to have on the show since I bought my first piece. Talkin’ to this guy about playin’ the small clubs, the music industry, and stories about the blues just felt like home. Such an awesome southern gentleman. It’s not a reptile discussion but I hope you guys enjoy it all the same!
 
Not only that, but we have Ray Becker of Alluring Serpents on a brand new 15 Minutes of Lame!
 
Don’t forget the contest to win a 2023 Mertens Monitor by the one and only Mike Stefani of Mike’s Monitors is still open so check that out too!
