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. #bionic_benny #jerseyguysballs #fifteenminutescontest #snakesandthefatman

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 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!

… 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.
