re: The Tiger King (Netflix Docuseries)

Just finished this and holy shite what a rollercoaster .

-Doc was a pimp

-Here Kitty video is savage af

-Carole is insane and her current husband has to be the most pussywhipped man on earth. That scene where he was serenading her after the guilty verdict was so cringy

- Reives (no legs) is probably the only cool dude on the show.

- That "slickest thing I've done in my life" quote from Carole's missing husband makes me think his millions weren't exactly clean money and he was murdered trying to do a deal of some sort.

- Jeff Lowe should be rotting in jail with Joe.

Travis’s eulogy scene made the Shane eulogy in EB&D look pretty reasonable

And it happened IN REAL LIFE

I was watching the first episode thinking how hypocritical this Carole chick is and how crazy every person was. Then I get to the beginning of the second episode and we learn half the people they've been interviewing are missing arms or legs. Then I knew this was going to be wild ride

15 pages and nothing about his comments on free balling and Price Albert with the locks hanging on the wall....that’s how you know there was all sorts of crazy that this doesn’t even scratch the surface

Did these dudes actually frick joe or just pretend to be his husband for drugs and presents ?

---

Judging by the couple of awkward kisses shown I’d say no. But judging by how fricked up on drugs they seem I’d say yes.

My thoughts through 5.5 episodes

1) Doc is tGoat. Basically running an exotic animal playboy mansion

2) frick Carole. Literally doing the same shite as all the other big cat owners. She brainwashed her followers into thinking the others are bad. Also she either knows how her husband died and/or killed him. Hope she gets hit with the Rona bad.

3) Joe bit off more than he could chew. Probably should have only kept like 75-100 cats not over 200
Trying to copy their name is where he fricked up though

4) More people in this on Meth than the Meth Storm documentary about the meth addicts in Arkansas

want to see Danny McBride recreate the Tiger King into a HBO series

That's exactly who I was thinking.

I saw on Facebook Dax Shephard said if he's not the one to play him then something is wrong. But I definitely think Mcbride is the right man for the job.

Joe now is suing for 94 million and wants a presidential pardon

The “Tiger King” wants to be freed from his cage.

Joe “Exotic” Maldonado-Passage — the star of a hit new Netflix series — has filed a jailhouse lawsuit against the feds and is asking President Trump to pardon his conviction for orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot on a rival and violating the Endangered Species Act.

The former roadside zookeeper and “big cat” enthusiast — who is serving a 22-year prison sentence — is demanding a combined $94 million from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, his former business partner Jeff Lowe and several former colleagues said.

The polygamist issued a call for a pardon from Trump and announced his lawsuit on March 19 on his Facebook page.

“This lawsuit has been filed in the name of Justice, The Trump Administration must be made aware of the Overreach, perjury, abuse of power and the failure to uphold the Oath of their position which is truth and Justice for all,” the gun-toting Oklahoma native wrote in the post.

Maldonado-Passage is representing himself in his lawsuit — in which he refers to himself in the third person — and filed it in a federal court in Oklahoma.


He alleges that the Fish and Wildlife Service put tigers on the endangered species list “for the sole purpose of allowing animal rights groups to sue small zoos and circuses” and to make ”privately-owned tigers extinct.”
