The Rumor Mill

On this episode, Joe Exotic calls into the podcast from the federal prison where he’s currently serving his 21-year sentence to share a big update on his latest appeal. The ex-Zookeeper who starred in Netflix’s infamous docuseries “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness” exclusively tells us about new evidence recently approved in his plea for exoneration, his thoughts on the 2024 election and if he can expect a presidential pardon, what allegedly happened behind the scenes in the “bogus” murder for hire "set-up" with rivals Carole Baskin and Jeff Lowe, what his plans are after release, and the abuse he’s suffered behind bars.

Join us and the black widow of competition reality TV Parvati Shallow to recap and rehash Season 2 of (arguably the best show on television right now) The Traitors! We chat with the Survivor legend about her time as a Traitor on the hit Peacock show, whether or not she would feel “bitter” in MJ’s shoes following the finale, who she would’ve recruited as a traitor instead of Peter Weber, squashing the beef with costar Tamra Judge after their off-camera feud, how Sandra Diaz-Twine hilariously broke the fourth wall with Bergie during filming, and if she’d return for another season! Parvati also weighs in on what’s changed about reality TV since her first Survivor win, and how mental health is now more of a “trending” conversation among competition games.
