Episode 79 is out now and it was a F’N BLAST. All the triggers are discussed on this show… Nido Witch Hunts, Trans and Gay People not being accepted in the community, Victim Mentality, and all thru the lens of one old Eye Talian and one slightly younger Eye Talian Mix. We get a lil bit Chicago, a little bit New York and a whole lot of aggravated with PC and Cancel Culture. Oh, I didn’t mention this earlier but Mike also breeds some of the best monitors in the country! We also have Caleb Howell f...

Episode 78 has been dropped! Stevie Casino is a fuckin’ badass from Brooklyn… Back when Brooklyn had legitimate tough guys and not a bunch of man-bun wearin’, gender neutral, hipster doofus jagoffs like it does nowadays.

All this plus a small rant on...

Episode 76.... It's f#ckin' amazing how many brilliant people we get to come on this dick and fart joke show.

We stick with the TN Vibe with Bre Barham from Smoky Mountain Balls on 15 Minutes of Lame.

Fanboying a bit herel. I've been a huge fan of Seth Breedlove of Small Town Monsters ever since I saw "The Mothman of Point Pleasant" a few years ago. Odds are, if you've ever seen a Bigfoot documentary, a Mothman documentary or any other cryptid, ghost, or alien documentary... you've already seen a Seth Breedlove film. He has a totally different take on filming these docs and it was definitely a bucket list moment for me meeting this guy and getting him on the show. Being that most of you repti...

I cant believe I waited this long to have Albey Scholl on the show. This guy is one of the most bad a$$ old schoolers I’ve spoken with in a long f#ckin’ time. I can call him an old schooler because he was producing geckos in 19 f#ckin 72. A full year before the Fatman was even born. He’s shared the stage with Stevie Ray Vaughn and at least half a dozen other blues legends. He might even make a living doin’ what a bunch of you are trying to do… selling ball pythons. Hey, two out of three ain’t ba...

I’ve known Crazy Ray Tabano for 25 years and even after 25 years I still love just sitting down with this guy and listening to stories about the early days of Aerosmith and the legends that he had the chance to share the stage with. Ray is an amazing storyteller and someone I’m proud to say is my friend. This episode is a little different… not much snake talk but plenty of Rock N’ Roll history talk. Not only that but I get to sit down with another Texas legend… Mr. James Durling of Yellow Rose E...

I can honestly not thank these ladies enough for coming on and discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly within the hobby. These are without a doubt some of my favorite people and I consider myself lucky that I can call all of them friends. Hopefully this episode proved again that these women are not being objectified, but literally know their sh#t inside and out. As a matter of fact… I would go to these women for advice on husbandry and the business end of things before I would go to a lot of ...

Chris Cubed… Usually the three Chris’ on this podcast would be labeled as round… but in this case… Bad joke… didn’t land. I apologize.

Let me repeat that… A wild animal keeper from the Bronx F#ckin’ Zoo said yes to being on this dumb podcast. Chris works with Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My but then adds some Godd#mn Gorillas to the mix too. This dude is a legit bad ass from the Bronx ...

One of the best things about doing this show is every now and then… you get to meet a guy like Warren Booth. PhD… Geneticist… Rare reptile keeper… US Ark Board Member… F#ckin’ Rockstar. This was probably my favorite non-ball python interview that I’ve ever done and is easily in my top 3 of all time. With John Wilder of Wilder Ball Pythons on 15 Minutes of Lame, this show unexpectedly turned into a nice guy episode… so of course I had to be a bit of a douche to offset the 2 nice guys on the show ...
