Tiger King Mimosa Chat
Spoiler Alert!
In this quarantine-inspired mimosa chat, we discuss Tiger King. Spoiler alert, we discuss it all and you'll want to watch it before you listen to us talk mad shit. We also talk about some deformed bunnies from Penguin's childhood which hopefully doesn't trigger anyone.
Note: After recording this episode, it has come to our attention that a person who goes by the name of Saff on Tiger King was misgendered throughout the docuseries and in our show. Saff's preferred pronouns are he/him and we apologize for misgendering him, as we didn't know.
