So far, the big streaming hit of the Coronavirus pandemic has been "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness." It follows the rise and fall of one Oklahoma's most unusual celebrities – Joe Exotic – and the bizarro, truth-is-stranger-than-fiction reality of the big cat underworld.
For many Oklahomans, the show's been a weird watch. Joe Exotic has lived in our backyard for years, and we kind of got used to his weird antics and eccentric behavior. We started writing about him on this website in 2013, after an Ogle Mole turned me on to his bizarre website. It's when Joe was making his transition from aspiring live-performing magician to an aspiring reality star who just happens to run a tiger zoo and star in country music videos. We then proceeded to cover, document and lampoon his turbulent personal life, political career and tragic fall. And it all took place in a short span of about four years.
As longtime members of the Joe Exotic Tiger beat, Lucas and I thought it would be fun to create a drinking game to play with your friends on FaceTime while social distancing...or in a hopefully real and normal life down the road, as you get together to watch and re-watch this amazing show again.
Here are the Joe Exotic Drinking Game rules:
