Get ready for a wild ride, as we venture into the fascinating world of alligator catching with our guest, Frank Robb aka Alligator Robb. Rob transports us to Chicago, where he tangled with the notorious alligator, Chance the Snapper.

What if falling in love with an alligator could save your life? Frank Robb shares his remarkable journey from professional alligator catcher to heart surgery survivor. Uncover how his connection with these formidable creatures led to his life-saving medical treatment.

A special mention goes out to the glass lizard, a 'snake' with unique lizard-like qualities!
Finally, join us in a crucial conversation on environmental issues and the imperative role of unity in tackling these global problems. Frank's recent heart surgery gives him a unique perspective on life, and he shares his thoughts on the potential of shaving his iconic beard off !
