Time To Take My Tigers For A Walk!
Yes, those are Tigers being walked by sexy Assistants! It’s just one of the head-shaking moments from an incredible documentary series…here is another:
Tiger King
Yes, this Tiger is being fed – with a baby bottle!
Time to meet the guy who is behind so much of this – time to meet Joe Exotic!
Meet Joe Exotic And His Co-Stars!
Yes, this is Joe Exotic, and his story is now one of Netflix’s most talked-about new shows – and for good reason!
“Tiger King: Murder Mayhem And Madness!”
Get ready for a story of wild animals, the people who train and exhibit them, and the murder and madness that is part of their life!
First, check out the trailer – it’s wild!
This riveting new documentary mini-series is called “Tiger King”, from the Producers behind Netflix’s outstanding Fyre Festival documentary.
It tells the story of Joe Exotic, an Oklahoma man who presided over an exotic animal park with hundreds of lions, tigers, bears, alligators and more!
Joe is one of three “big cat” owners whose stories are told: Joe Exotic, the other two include Carole Baskin, an “animal activist” with a wild story and dark past of her own…
I don’t want to give anything away, and encourage you to dive into this show without reading too much background – it will make it even more incredible!
Baskin runs a “big cat rescue” shelter, and it’s her conflicts with Joe Exotic that drive the narrative….the other “big cat” owner is equally fascinating:
Meet Doc Antle – And His Girlfriends/Wives!
Doc Antle’s story is as wild and the others: he has a “cult-like” preserve where women come to work, live and in some cases, marry him!
These are Joe’s “co-workers” – and again, just like the others in this remarkable show, he gives candid and lengthy interviews throughout the entire series – it will blow your mind!
Speaking of mind-blowing:
Joe Exotic Sings!
Yes, Joe’s not only an exotic animal owner, he’s a singer as well!
And for your listening pleasure, here is Joe Exotic’s music video for his surprisingly beautiful song “I Saw A Tiger”:
This came from the “JoeExoticTV” channel on YouTube!
As they note:
Joe Exotic co-produced his first music video to help protect and save tigers from China poaching and tiger farms. China allows more animals to be slaughtered for Chinese medicines that have no proven effects.
I cannot recommend this masterful and mesmerizing TV documentary-series highly enough – it’s incredible!
As I pointed out above, the Producers of this mesmerizing mini-series most recently made the equally fascinating documentary about the collapse of the Fyre Festival:
This is an incredible documentary as well – see the trailer here:
There are so many incredible TV shows and documentaries on the air right now – just earlier this week I told you about this one:
Another incredible real-life mystery about the man who rigged the McDonad’s Monopoly game!

I am absolutely OBSESSED with this …. and now all my daughters in lock-down in the UK are watching it too as of yesterday when I told them they had to! How brilliant to find you have written one of your excellent articles about this bonkers docu-series. It’s just the tonic we all need. Far stranger than fiction and wild all the way!!!

I know he is saving tigers from Chinese medicine, but I am not sure this is the right way to do that.
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, the story is wilder than any fiction you can read! It continues to make me sad for the state of our country -there are more lions and tigers in the US owned by private owners than are still left in the wild!!!

I’ll have to verify this, but I think Joe Exotic ran for President in 2016. That was the first time that I had heard of him.

The payoff is about 1:40 into the clip, and then sprinkled through the rest of the segment. He was a write in candidate, not sure if that really qualifies as “running for President” but certainly he thought he was. (Make America Exotic Again!)
