Everyone is obsessed with how ridiculous Joe and Carole are, but Doc Antle was the one that freaked me out the most. His harem set off so many cult alarm bells.
I'd be surprised if there's not eventually going to be a damning documentary about Doc Antle. He's clearly exploiting so many people, not to mention all the animals too.
yes, but i belive that the reason they are not showing that much about him yet is because he is probably under a huge FBI investigation and any interference might ruin all that work
"This one almost broke me. There are so many legal issues to go into, so many illegal acts, these people really needed better lawyers." It's almost like Joe Exotic's in prison or something.
Yeah that was best in like a dark ass way lmao. Honestly the best things that idiot ranted about was all the legit insane stuff actually showing this dude is an unstable criminal 🤣 like it's not normal to actually go as far as asking a dude if he can go kill someone for you lol. Or toting guns like a straight maniac all over the place, and hiring the fool who sold you those guns and ammo to basically make you a president 😂
It's funny that you should say that because I was saying to my daughter that if someone had wrote this whole Joe Exotic situation as a book, no publisher would pick it up because it's so ridiculous. That said, that quote applies to this presidency as well.
I’m genuinely upset about how few people talk about the predatory nature of the people in this show. I had to stop after the third episode because I felt physically ill watching these guys be like “I was 40 and they were 16, and they moved in with me, and things just happened.” Like, my made up example is not nearly as gross as some of the other things they actually did.
Everyone talked about Carol's sketchy husband, but no one had questions about Tiger King using drugs to lure troubled underage boys into unwanted relationships with him. I lost faith in the general audience over that
@@basicallymid Everyone talked about that. And in perfect internet fashion, they typically phrase it as "why is no one talking about this thing that everyone is talking about."
"Let that be a lesson to you parents, don't sign something just because your kids put it in front of you. They might be engaging in fraud." Dammit LegalEagle, how am I gonna get out of gym class now.
I don’t know why but this reminded me Chinese manhuas. Those manhuas, especially the ones involving rich CEOs, always involve drugging, rape, abuse, etc. Some of the moms in the stories want their son to get married and have kids. It’s to the point that they’re willing to drug their son and a poor unfortunate lady to get that to happen.
Chinese comics are wild. The Korean ones are always about high school gangs or leveling up, which is why I prefer Japanese manga but now its overly saturated with isekai
@@halinaqi2194 🤣 True. I got hooked on the isekai stories though, both Japanese and Korean. I know there are good Chinese comics, unfortunately my expectations are always low so I tend to avoid them.
If anyone was curious on an update. The GW zoo is effectively closed- On June 1, ownership of the zoo was given to Carol Baskin and Jeff Lowe was given 120 days to vacate. On August 17, the USDA suspended Lowe’s exhibitor license, meaning he could no longer run the zoo. Garvin County Sheriff's Office deputies and USDA officials had reportedly began investigating the zoo after receiving a report that lions were ill, with their ears covered in flies and blood. Of the animals that were onsite, 42 tigers, 4 black bears, 11 wolves and a grizzly are now at the non-profit Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado that takes in abused big carnivores. They have over 600 rescued animals on 10,000 acres.
@Sousa Teuzii The way this was worded was as if the investigation was done while Jeff Lowe was managing the facility but I could have misunderstood that.
@@expfcwintergreenv2.02 I figured out what that saying meant in the third grade when 9/11 happened. It was a weird moment where I knew life was about to get a lot more complicated.
@@expfcwintergreenv2.02 > “May you live in interesting times” -ancient Chinese curse FYI: That being a chinese curse is a myth. There are no actual chinese sources for this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_you_live_in_interesting_times Still a nice saying though.
It doesn't stop there either, for curses wrongly attributed as Chinese. One of the lesser well-known "Chinese" curses goes along the line of 'May you come to the attention of people in power'.
Something else to consider about the word 'disappearance' on the power of attorney is that this is a guy who made numerous trips to Costa Rica for questionable reasons, (according to Carol) flew a plane illegally and without registering flights, and may have been doing other shady stuff. Most people wouldn't anticipate disappearing, but if you're doing dangerous things and deliberately not leaving a trail to follow to avoid getting caught then disappearing suddenly becomes a lot more likely.
I mean, they reached out to him... looks like they made the right move, millions have seen it and a out of people like the music and now we’ve heard of them. If someone reaches out and offer their services for free, exposure or influence that’s totally different than saying you’ll pay in exposure or influence.
@@jaybee4118 Yeah, it is different than someone trying to get you to sell your work for influence/exposure (I'm not sure what the differences between these are). It's still a bad deal though.
Yeah I absolutely despised this show because it did its very best to portray Joe Exotic, a horrific animal abuser, as a an anti-hero and Carol Baskin as a psychopathic murderer based on... the testimony of said animal abuser and a bitter ex-wife?
The Man: Is an abusive, feckless animal abuser engaging in harrassment of a woman in an outrageous and mocking way. Woman: Is a quite annoying do-gooder who has been called a home-wrecking gold digger by her husband's bitter ex-wife. ... Sadly, I feel like we shouldn't have been all that surprised which one the internet decided to side with.
I mean, I completely agree that Joe is trash, but he's paying for it by being in jail. On the other hand, there's a lot of suspicions on carol for her husband's disappearance. And I personally feel like she's abusing people by making them maintain her zoo for free
Apparently, in 1998 Carole, with a notary and lawyers, wrote an apology for the accusations about Anne (Don's assistant): ruclips.net/video/e_7-iefu14s/видео.html
If, as he said in the clip, he doesn't own anything, he might himself have been keeping a low - income look for just the purpose of being judgement-proof.
Beyond the craziness, I feel bad for the cats that suffer because of each and every one of these people. These cats are a means to an end, which is money and fame, and it's terrible.
Agreed. I know if somebody put a box of baby tigers in front of me, I'd be blown away and go "ohhhhh, wanna!" for a minute. And then my neo-cortex would reassert itself and I'd go straight to being furious at people being so bloody irresponsible as to buy a dangerous wild animal, and some self-righteous idiot encouraging, soliciting and profiting from it. Imprisoned? For once, I count that as a happy ending. Gives him a taste of what those cats went through.
@@cheery-hex Well, what can you do? Unless you're a paramedic, you shouldn't try to help, since you're untrained and would probably make it worse, and you don't need to run in a panic since the tiger is still in the cage. It's someone you don't know telling you that there's a situation happening somewhere you aren't allowed to go involving someone else you don't know and it's basically already over.
@@tristonchism1872 I don't know if that's necessarily true that you shouldn't try to help... Maybe I'm biased because I was a lifeguard for many years and therefore have decent first aid training, but I think most people know to try and stop bleeding at least. Obviously you wouldn't be able to completely stop arterial bleeding without knowing how to tie a really good tourniquet but anything is better than nothing in a situation where a person can easily die of blood loss. Not to mention the fact that 911 operators can give you a quick run down of what you should be doing while you are waiting for the ambulance (and they usually have a long list).
"So let that be a lesson to all those parents out there. Don't sign paperwork just because your kids put it in front of you. They might be engaging in fraud." *2 weeks later* Me: No Timmy. I don't care if you can't go on the "field trip" to the "science museum" if I don't sign your "permission slip". I'm not helping you commit a misdemeanor!
True story, years back Joe Exotic threatened me and some of my friend's lives, for opposing a partially paralyzed kangaroo being treated like a child, dressed up and taken around in carriages etc. We all had such a laugh when he first went to jail and when the movie came out it was hilarious.
I could get transporting a paralyzed animal in a carriage. But the dressing up part? No wonder Trump likes this guy. Does anything to get attention, self-aggrandizing, doesn't give three straws about who gets hurt, and most of all: the hair. Basically: Joe Exotic is Donald Trump minus the rich family and the "small loan" from his father.
@@Julia-lk8jn I don't ever want to defend Trump but Trump never said anything in support of Joe. Saying he will look into it when asked about it just means he doesn't know and since there was no pardon he either didn't look into it(most likely) or he looked into it and decided not to pardon.
That's my biggest issue with how this show is being covered! They're not zoos!!! They're prisons for these animals to suffer and die when they're no longer of use!
Objection: Early on you say that these people all need better lawyers. Having the best lawyer on earth won't help you if you refuse to follow their advice or display common sense.
There are very few stories of people raising non-domestic animals that don't end in tragedy. The men who raised Christian the lion were smart because they knew he would have a better adult life living amongst other lions so they sent him to a wildlife preserve in Kenya. He adapted well to his new life. He was accepted by other lions and eventually had a pride of his own. He was last seen in 1973.
@@thabeast5833 More or less, yeah. She's changed for the better long ago, and has committed many years of her life to helping protect tigers and other big cats. The show did nothing to show that.
Zicky Kane it did plenty to show that. She kept them in borderline smaller cages the joe exotic and other zoos. She had them put into smaller cages when they eat and then she complains about how joe is extorting the cubs. She’s having the the large wild cats go into a small cage so people can watch them eat. She makes money of tigers like joe. She probably is rolling in the dough.
@@satanicpony644 Her sanctuary actually has large open-air enclosures in which the cats are free to roam. But oooooh she charges people money to raise funds to keep her sanctuary afloat, clearly a greedy she-devil....
Saff, the employee who lost his arm, refused to let Joe take the fall for it. He constantly says it was his fault for reaching into the enclosure, and was back to work within 5 days.
He must have incredible strength of character considering they all constantly misgendered him throughout the documentary (including the documentary makers, which means almost everyone who saw it thinks he uses she/her pronouns!) and he didn't hold a grudge at all. Hope he's doing good these days.
It's a little concerning to me that he was working after only 5 days. Why the urgency? Why did he not feel more comfortable taking a few weeks to heal and adjust to the massive trauama he'd just endured and it's lifelong consequences?
Ah, but having a good attorney (whom he should just have on staff at that point permanently), those laws would either not have been violated or they would have weaseled him out of the most egregious.
I would say if Scar confessed early one, he would be charged with murder and child endangerment too. Child endangerment cause he almost got Simba killed. But Murder/manslaughter cause of killing Muffasa.
He is/was actually a licensed EMT. He took the course and passed the national test for certification. Additionally he's dancing on a first responder truck for a volunteer department in one of his videos.
@@saulgoodman8501 Doc Antle owns other animals besides tigers, same for Joe Exotic before going to prison. They mentioned having alligators at G W Zoo and they were shown with chimpanzees as well.
@@saulgoodman8501 and yes Carole Baskin owns a "rescue" not a zoo because she only rescues big cats. She just doesn't rehabilitate them besides making them more comfortable
"Because we live in the dumbest timeline..." That might be the most scientifically accurate thing anybody has ever said about the our place in the multiverse and space time continuum.
He got "the dumbest timeline" from RUclipsr Ryan George. Ryan creates skits in which he plays every character, and he did one where they had a "Dumbest Timeline" gameshow, and contestants had to guess what was going on in our timeline, the dumbest one. Apparently, every other timeline has transportation, and it's super easy, barely an inconvenience. 🤣😂🤣😂
if we had four more years of trump, we'd truly be on our way towards the reality of the movie "Idiocracy". i mean it already exists as an exaggerated look at reality...
Objection!: I think calling what Joe runs a “zoo” rather than specifically calling it a roadside zoo or roadside attraction kinda throws accredited zoos under the bus by categorizing them together
Regular zoos are just as abusive to their animals. Animals belong in their natural habitat, not in tiny enclosures at unnatural temperatures and surrounded by gawking people and screaming kids. Ever seen a polar bear in an open enclosure in July? It's heartbreaking.
@@PraiseTheFSMonster so I will agree zoos are problematic yet unfortunately they are increasingly more needed. Accredited zoos generally have a good care for their animals so they do live very full lives as much as possible. They serve as good educational tools for children which again is a good thing for the future. And they provide conservation efforts through their breeding programs that at this point are helping keep the wild animals alive. I wish we didn't have to use them but if we have to do it there are some excellent ones that really are helping the cause for conservation and research.
I actually thought it was hilarious and maddening when I was reading online that people were bashing Carole for going after and suing his mother. I thought to myself if I was going crazy or if no one realize that he was committing fraud and threw his own mother under the bus that he did not own.
I have another movie I'd like LegalEagle to check legal accuracy: The 2004 film: Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events. (Especially in regards to inheritance law involving minors)
Good suggestion, How about that scene in which Olaf tries to marry a child in order to inherit the money then it is invalidated because Violet uses her non dominant hand, it would be interesting to learn if that is at all realistic. I also dont think that Olaf would get the money if the kids died , he would have to have a will giving him the money and his adopted children suddenly dying would make him a suspect.
Joe Exotic had a limo with a hair and makeup crew waiting for him outside the prison in which he's incarcerated with a pre-recorded thank you message to Donald Trump on Jan. 20. Oops.
An unapologetic showman with bad hair that frequently skirts and/or violates the law and who peddles damaging conspiracy theories in acts of petty vengeance against people who have slighted him...
Well a few differences to keep in mind. 1. Trump views his presidency more as a reality show than Obama did and has made that clear on multiple occasions. 2. It isn’t the first time he’s pardoned or defended people with horrendous records. Joe Arpaio is a pretty notable example. 3. He’s crazy. And he claims he was joking based on whoever he’s talking to at that moment.
21:17 glad you shook your head at the "paid in influence" debacle. If you're an artist and someone says that they will pay you in "influence" or "exposure" NEVER TAKE IT,AND BY IT I MEAN NOTHING!!!!!!
I mean... there's almost an exception for when the person offering legitimately has a big enough audience that them mentioning you would legitimately benefit you, however, that person almost certainly would have no trouble affording to just pay you such that if they're not willing to, they're pretty sketchy, so it kind of cancels out.
Guy, it was the two that made the song who approached Joe exotic offering to do it.... If they offer to give their product away for free, it isn't the joe's fault for accepting..... They saw it as an opportunity to get recognition, which they surely got.
@@timovangalen1589 Disbarring should be the least of his worries, it's conspiracy if he's telling the guy to commit a crime so there's potential prison there. Most lawyers that have dubious ethics are usually smart enough to keep plausible deniability.
I've been avoiding this documentary like the plague. When I was a kid, a tiger was running loose in my hometown for a couple of weeks. Keep in mind, this was suburban California. Turns out a couple had moved to my hometown with over a dozen big cats without telling the authorities. They were allowed to keep the cats in their previous home where they could be checked on for the cats' wellbeing, but they didn't have the right equipment or enough space when they moved. The tiger got out and they didn't tell anyone for a week until someone saw it. Then there was a search for it for the next week. It was found one morning getting close to an elementary school and had to be shot because the tranquilizers weren't effective fast enough. The other cats were given to zoos and rescues and I'm pretty sure the couple is still in jail. Just in case anyone was curious I decided to add an article about it. Looking back over it I think I had a couple details incorrect (like how long the tiger was out) www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-mar-17-me-tiger17-story.html
one says it took place in the 50s and one says the couple is still in jail... couldn't be the same story then, could it? that's to say, it's probably happened many different times
@@360.Tapestry the one that I grew up with was around 2004. Unfortunatley it's not uncommon for people to get exotic animals as pets and then get overwhelmed by them or mistreat them. Pet foxes is a big one, where people expect them to act like dogs and they're just not dogs, keeping alligators in bathtubs, and of course big cats. It's really sad, and I don't think people realize how common it is.
@@NeoCreo1 to be honest there's not a really deep reason. I just don't want to watch it mostly because of the animal abuse. People have told me to and that it's really interesting and sucks you in after the first episode, which I get, but I just don't feel like it. I like the more straight forward lense that legal eagle gives about the whole situation rather than sitting through it.
“Fun Fact: Joe didn’t sing that song!” Yeah, we noticed. There’s a part in the show where Joe is listening to, and singing along with, the song, and they sound nothing alike. The guy on the recording sounds like a pretty traditional, generic country singer, while Joe sounds like Arin Hanson’s impression of Larry the Cable Guy. 🤣
ahaha when hes at the funeral "yall my voice is a little broken from crying all day" *proceeds to sing like a shithead for an hour and a half*- I hate to say it but travis lived one of the most embarrassing lives on the planet, imagine killing yourself accidentally and then this asshole shows up to not only ruin your funeral but to further embarrass your memory and your family.
Personally i think of it more as a respect thing. Yes they might be okay with one pronoun being used but using their chosen pronouns are just more polite
By the way, this is still an issue. It's people like Joe Exotic or popular Instagrams that continue to allow people to think exotic predatory cats are "cute". They haven't seen what they can do when they are adults and can readily kill someone. There are reasons why some cats are labeled "man eaters" because humans are easy prey for tigers and lions.
Sadly I think the documentary has just been perceived Hythe masses as such. It isn't glorifying anything abiut these aninals in captivity. There S no narrative offered.
@zhuull1 I consider that a point in their favor, in fact. It's manly. The memes about guys thinking about how they missed out on owning a pet tiger for 2 grand ain't no joke lol.
I've never seen Tiger King, I never want to see Tiger King, and so far I've avoided everything about Tiger King. And, yet, here this video is on my new video page, and here I am watching... damnit.
I watched it and even if I understand the hype, I feel a bit dirty as a human being now that it's finished. There is something rotten and sad about these people.
@@manonsegur7547 I fully admit that I'm not even a reality TV person (or a tv person in general... I can't remember the last time I've turned the TV on or watched a movie) but even then I don't understand the hype. I guess it's like watching a train wreck to where you know it's coming, but can't look away? I guess you can take comfort in that you feel dirty, so you know you're a good person, instead of sympathizing with them?
The wildest part of the whole thing is Carol Baskins husband was FOUND ALIVE and REALLY WAS in Costa Rica! That shits wild but not totally unsurprising. It’s hard to track people down in costs rica they don’t use an address system.
I have a power of attorney clause in my living will where my disappearance is defined as my functional inability to preform tasks relating to my buisness or personal affairs. Ie : comatose. Missing (I hike and spend time in the wilderness. This ensures my company can hire what ever needed to look for me using my powers and funds)... It's a perfectly normal use of a legal premise. Just unusual to have to contemplate for most people.
It's an absolutely appropriate issue to address if you engage in international commerce or even recreational travel to parts of the world where kidnapping or disappearance is even a minor threat. Personally, I've traveled to Africa and parts of South America where that risk is minimal, but real, and in the unlikely case in which I was a victim of such a crime, it makes sense to designate a trustworthy person to handle my business and financial affairs if I am unable to execute such decisions. For me, that person would be my father (since I am not married). Now, in the case of an animal rescue owner who never seems to leave the suburbs of Tampa, umm...?
@@Dreadnaught1985 Also, he regularly traveled to South America, specifically Costa Rica, and had plans to open a business there. Potential for kidnapping there.
@@VisibilityFoggy He was a pilot. Granted without licence. I personally believe he and Carol wanted out but he didn't want a divorce. So he, Carol and thrblawyer came up woth this convoluted mess that has everyone thinkijg Carol killed him. And as long as that's the narrative no one is looking for him (husband). So they all get what they want. The lawyer just seems odd. He is lying when says the clause is unusual. He may be telling the truth about how he never encountered it. But it's a lie that it's unusual legal language.
*walks into coffee shop* Me: "I'll have a latte!" Barista: "that'll be $4.50!" Me: "can I pay for it in publicity? I'm a little short on cash right now..."
Reminds me of some bridezilla (or extra-ordinary imitation of one) who wanted her guests to pay for the wedding, the photographer to work for 'exposition', (meaning the venue was so pretty so he could get some good pictures out of it, which, hint, a good photographer can also get from a spider web), and the gods only know what her brilliant plan about the catering was. Astonishingly enough, her selfish friends didn't go for it. So sad. :C
Oh do a deep dive you'll be flabbergasted why Antle and Joe/Jeff aren't shut down also why they haven't gotten Tim in trouble for running a now illegal business as he no longer has the permits needed to have a open public zoo especially a contact zoo
For real, it makes me sad that people have decided there are heroes and villains in this, there are just a heap of villains and assholes and abused animals in between
as a kid I had the haziest memory of going to a tiger zoo and wandering off before accidentally walking into a tiger feeding interaction and helping feed a tiger. I never watched Tiger King until this video and I have suddenly recognized where I went and that "oh that was real"
I would love it if you can review the people.vs OJ on Netflix. Because honestly there's a part in that show where Johnny Cochran on his legalbasically stage OJ's house before the jury gets to see it and I've always wondered till this day if that's legal or not. great video!
I mean, Legal Eagle just exposed two instances where the documentary used some pretty sketchy information from a biased source (the the documentary politely forgot to mention was biased)
@Lucy Bubz please, white people just rebranded it. Didn't even make it any better. They just made their slaves a tad further away from them physically. Oh, and they don't enslave people of color only. And actual LEGAL slavery in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East? Sources please.
I wonder if Carole Baskin could sue the makers of Tiger King for defamation? They’ve definitely made most people think that she killed her husband and I’m sure it’s caused financial and emotional damages.
Would love to hear your thoughts on why the hit man was never indicted and on Jeff Lowe's legal troubles. Also Doc Antle and his rampant workplace sexual harassment / OSHA violations.
This is just my uneducated opinion, but I think that even though he took the money he never went anywhere near Florida so you could establish reasonable doubt that he intended to actually kill Baskin despite taking the money. Might make it harder to make conspiracy charges stick.
@@lukedodson3267 great point. One thought though - if part of the qualifications of conspiracy includes the federal statute about money changing hands and/or crossing state lines, he did both. And if my many hours of watching police procedurals tells me anything, it's that if one party of the conspiracy is guilty, then all parties are.
@@michaelpetersen703 I did some more digging and Glover, the handyman, did provide testimony to the US Attorneys regarding Joe so it's entirely possible he was given immunity in exchange for that.
@@lukedodson3267 NAL but he did go towards Florida (at least ended up in S. Carolina, I think he said he went to Florida at one point but then retracted that). It seems hard to me to say Joe is guilty for giving him the money, but hitman (Allan?) is totally fine after taking the money and driving towards Florida.
One thing you missed about the will.... the witness admitted she lied and was pressured into saying she witnessed Don signing it but she never did. She was an employee or volunteer and scared she would lose her job if she didn't lie.
I recommend (if you haven't already) you watch well Red Comedy's "Tiger by the Tale" youtube series where they do commentary on Tiger King. The guys are from various parts of the south and their first reactions were "not where I come from" and then they slowly realize that oh yeah.. Down the road there was actually this one guy who had tropical reptiles or leopards or some similar shit. 😂😂😂
"But it's Florida, so I guess a little embezzlement is okay". I grew up and currently live in Tampa Bay and this is the MOST ACCURATE STATEMENT about Florida I have heard yet 😂😂😂
You know, it's a little bit of a throwback, but think it would be a lot of fun to see you tackle some of Night Court, especially since the writers actually went to New York City night courts to get ideas for the show.

"This one almost broke me. There are so many legal issues to go into, so many illegal acts, these people really needed better lawyers." It's almost like Joe Exotic's in prison or something.
That's why he said needed, as in the past before they were in jail.
A huge part of a lawyer's job isn't "Get me out of this charge", but "Put a leash around my neck so I don't get the charges in the first place"

I’m genuinely upset about how few people talk about the predatory nature of the people in this show. I had to stop after the third episode because I felt physically ill watching these guys be like “I was 40 and they were 16, and they moved in with me, and things just happened.” Like, my made up example is not nearly as gross as some of the other things they actually did.
Ew. 🤢
Everyone talked about Carol's sketchy husband, but no one had questions about Tiger King using drugs to lure troubled underage boys into unwanted relationships with him. I lost faith in the general audience over that
Yeah, it was bad- totally messed up.
@@basicallymid Everyone talked about that. And in perfect internet fashion, they typically phrase it as "why is no one talking about this thing that everyone is talking about."

Those manhuas, especially the ones involving rich CEOs, always involve drugging, rape, abuse, etc. Some of the moms in the stories want their son to get married and have kids. It’s to the point that they’re willing to drug their son and a poor unfortunate lady to get that to happen.

If anyone was curious on an update. The GW zoo is effectively closed- On June 1, ownership of the zoo was given to Carol Baskin and Jeff Lowe was given 120 days to vacate. On August 17, the USDA suspended Lowe’s exhibitor license, meaning he could no longer run the zoo. Garvin County Sheriff's Office deputies and USDA officials had reportedly began investigating the zoo after receiving a report that lions were ill, with their ears covered in flies and blood. Of the animals that were onsite, 42 tigers, 4 black bears, 11 wolves and a grizzly are now at the non-profit Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado that takes in abused big carnivores. They have over 600 rescued animals on 10,000 acres.
@Sousa Teuzii The way this was worded was as if the investigation was done while Jeff Lowe was managing the facility but I could have misunderstood that.
@Sousa Teuzii Carol got the zoo, not the animals. She got the land and property, but Jeff took all the animals to another location

FYI: That being a chinese curse is a myth. There are no actual chinese sources for this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_you_live_in_interesting_times
Still a nice saying though.
It doesn't stop there either, for curses wrongly attributed as Chinese. One of the lesser well-known "Chinese" curses goes along the line of 'May you come to the attention of people in power'.
Wrongfully having wisdom accredited to you is the real curse though, am I right?
Something else to consider about the word 'disappearance' on the power of attorney is that this is a guy who made numerous trips to Costa Rica for questionable reasons, (according to Carol) flew a plane illegally and without registering flights, and may have been doing other shady stuff. Most people wouldn't anticipate disappearing, but if you're doing dangerous things and deliberately not leaving a trail to follow to avoid getting caught then disappearing suddenly becomes a lot more likely.

No wonder Trump likes this guy. Does anything to get attention, self-aggrandizing, doesn't give three straws about who gets hurt, and most of all: the hair.

@@Julia-lk8jn I don't ever want to defend Trump but Trump never said anything in support of Joe. Saying he will look into it when asked about it just means he doesn't know and since there was no pardon he either didn't look into it(most likely) or he looked into it and decided not to pardon.

There are very few stories of people raising non-domestic animals that don't end in tragedy.

He must have incredible strength of character considering they all constantly misgendered him throughout the documentary (including the documentary makers, which means almost everyone who saw it thinks he uses she/her pronouns!) and he didn't hold a grudge at all. Hope he's doing good these days.

I think calling what Joe runs a “zoo” rather than specifically calling it a roadside zoo or roadside attraction kinda throws accredited zoos under the bus by categorizing them together
i guess because legally it qualified as a zoo? I don't know if zoos and roadside zoos are different in legal terms.
Regular zoos are just as abusive to their animals. Animals belong in their natural habitat, not in tiny enclosures at unnatural temperatures and surrounded by gawking people and screaming kids. Ever seen a polar bear in an open enclosure in July? It's heartbreaking.
Yeah, good luck getting those animals in zoos out in the wild. People think zoos are on their way out, but clearly that’s not the case.
@@PraiseTheFSMonster so I will agree zoos are problematic yet unfortunately they are increasingly more needed.
Accredited zoos generally have a good care for their animals so they do live very full lives as much as possible. They serve as good educational tools for children which again is a good thing for the future. And they provide conservation efforts through their breeding programs that at this point are helping keep the wild animals alive.
I wish we didn't have to use them but if we have to do it there are some excellent ones that really are helping the cause for conservation and research.

The 2004 film: Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events. (Especially in regards to inheritance law involving minors)
Good suggestion, How about that scene in which Olaf tries to marry a child in order to inherit the money then it is invalidated because Violet uses her non dominant hand, it would be interesting to learn if that is at all realistic.

Well a few differences to keep in mind. 1. Trump views his presidency more as a reality show than Obama did and has made that clear on multiple occasions. 2. It isn’t the first time he’s pardoned or defended people with horrendous records. Joe Arpaio is a pretty notable example. 3. He’s crazy. And he claims he was joking based on whoever he’s talking to at that moment.

I've been avoiding this documentary like the plague.
When I was a kid, a tiger was running loose in my hometown for a couple of weeks. Keep in mind, this was suburban California. Turns out a couple had moved to my hometown with over a dozen big cats without telling the authorities. They were allowed to keep the cats in their previous home where they could be checked on for the cats' wellbeing, but they didn't have the right equipment or enough space when they moved. The tiger got out and they didn't tell anyone for a week until someone saw it. Then there was a search for it for the next week. It was found one morning getting close to an elementary school and had to be shot because the tranquilizers weren't effective fast enough. The other cats were given to zoos and rescues and I'm pretty sure the couple is still in jail.
Just in case anyone was curious I decided to add an article about it. Looking back over it I think I had a couple details incorrect (like how long the tiger was out)
www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-mar-17-me-tiger17-story.html
NJCoogan I vaguely remember something like this back when I was a little kid, in the 50s, growing up in SoCal.
So why have you been avoiding the documentary?
one says it took place in the 50s and one says the couple is still in jail... couldn't be the same story then, could it? that's to say, it's probably happened many different times
@@360.Tapestry the one that I grew up with was around 2004. Unfortunatley it's not uncommon for people to get exotic animals as pets and then get overwhelmed by them or mistreat them. Pet foxes is a big one, where people expect them to act like dogs and they're just not dogs, keeping alligators in bathtubs, and of course big cats. It's really sad, and I don't think people realize how common it is.
@@NeoCreo1 to be honest there's not a really deep reason. I just don't want to watch it mostly because of the animal abuse. People have told me to and that it's really interesting and sucks you in after the first episode, which I get, but I just don't feel like it. I like the more straight forward lense that legal eagle gives about the whole situation rather than sitting through it.
Should have started: Hey all you Legal Eagles and Eaglets
Eaglets are baby eagles. Is this a reference I'm missing?
@@Warrior_Culture Carole Baskin starts all her videos with "Hey all you cool cats and kittens"
Warrior Culture No, you’re right. A baby eagle is called an eaglet, like a baby duck is called a duckling.
@@Warrior_Culture Yes, what StereotypeNerd said. I was playing on her words since she is a part of this topic.
@@PerdomoCigars Got it. I've never seen the show, I just watch Legal Eagle. Thanks.
this needs to become an official episode of the series on Netflix. and then spin off Real Lawyer Reacts as a Netflix show.
That image of "OKLAHOMA where the wind comes sweeping down the meth!" is absolutely savage and hilarious
"Shut it down. Shut it down," with the "I'm never going to financially recover from this" clip had me rolling 😂.
“Fun Fact: Joe didn’t sing that song!” Yeah, we noticed. There’s a part in the show where Joe is listening to, and singing along with, the song, and they sound nothing alike. The guy on the recording sounds like a pretty traditional, generic country singer, while Joe sounds like Arin Hanson’s impression of Larry the Cable Guy. 🤣
Arin is Joe Exotic, confirmed!
Some of that lip synching was awful.
C o n s u m e Prilosec
Was he lipsynching at the funeral?
ahaha when hes at the funeral "yall my voice is a little broken from crying all day" *proceeds to sing like a shithead for an hour and a half*- I hate to say it but travis lived one of the most embarrassing lives on the planet, imagine killing yourself accidentally and then this asshole shows up to not only ruin your funeral but to further embarrass your memory and your family.
"There's no federal law that says you can't own big cats." Ah yes, the Air Bud statute... I know it well
Ahhhh... America... 🤪
Staff uses he/him pronouns mostly. He said in an interview he wasn’t bothered by people using she/her but just for the record he uses he/him. :)
Personally i think of it more as a respect thing. Yes they might be okay with one pronoun being used but using their chosen pronouns are just more polite

@Brit Jade people who respect other people
By the way, this is still an issue. It's people like Joe Exotic or popular Instagrams that continue to allow people to think exotic predatory cats are "cute". They haven't seen what they can do when they are adults and can readily kill someone. There are reasons why some cats are labeled "man eaters" because humans are easy prey for tigers and lions.
Sadly I think the documentary has just been perceived Hythe masses as such.
It isn't glorifying anything abiut these aninals in captivity. There S no narrative offered.
@zhuull1 I consider that a point in their favor, in fact. It's manly. The memes about guys thinking about how they missed out on owning a pet tiger for 2 grand ain't no joke lol.
"Because we live in the dumbest timeline..." hits different in quarantine, lol.
Now with protest
Now with rioting on capitol grounds.
now with my homework
I've never seen Tiger King, I never want to see Tiger King, and so far I've avoided everything about Tiger King. And, yet, here this video is on my new video page, and here I am watching... damnit.
Steph P. tbh you wont have to watch it after this and this is gonna be better. the only good person in it tbh is Saff
But Tiger King were awesome!
...Granted, they collectively kicked by Shermans and T-34, but still.
Devin watched it so we don't have to.
I watched it and even if I understand the hype, I feel a bit dirty as a human being now that it's finished. There is something rotten and sad about these people.
@@manonsegur7547 I fully admit that I'm not even a reality TV person (or a tv person in general... I can't remember the last time I've turned the TV on or watched a movie) but even then I don't understand the hype. I guess it's like watching a train wreck to where you know it's coming, but can't look away? I guess you can take comfort in that you feel dirty, so you know you're a good person, instead of sympathizing with them?
The wildest part of the whole thing is Carol Baskins husband was FOUND ALIVE and REALLY WAS in Costa Rica! That shits wild but not totally unsurprising. It’s hard to track people down in costs rica they don’t use an address system.
Really?? I’ve been looking into it, but I haven’t been able to find anything that says that, what was your source?

9:15 THE POWER OF ATTORNEY *Sparks shoot from his hands*
UNLIMITED POWER
The power of prosecution is a dark art many thought.... Unnatural.
I have a power of attorney clause in my living will where my disappearance is defined as my functional inability to preform tasks relating to my buisness or personal affairs.
Ie : comatose. Missing (I hike and spend time in the wilderness. This ensures my company can hire what ever needed to look for me using my powers and funds)...
It's a perfectly normal use of a legal premise. Just unusual to have to contemplate for most people.
It's an absolutely appropriate issue to address if you engage in international commerce or even recreational travel to parts of the world where kidnapping or disappearance is even a minor threat. Personally, I've traveled to Africa and parts of South America where that risk is minimal, but real, and in the unlikely case in which I was a victim of such a crime, it makes sense to designate a trustworthy person to handle my business and financial affairs if I am unable to execute such decisions. For me, that person would be my father (since I am not married). Now, in the case of an animal rescue owner who never seems to leave the suburbs of Tampa, umm...?
And we do know the guy liked to fly his plane around... So disappearing is a potential.
@@Dreadnaught1985 Also, he regularly traveled to South America, specifically Costa Rica, and had plans to open a business there. Potential for kidnapping there.
@@VisibilityFoggy
He was a pilot. Granted without licence.
I personally believe he and Carol wanted out but he didn't want a divorce.
So he, Carol and thrblawyer came up woth this convoluted mess that has everyone thinkijg Carol killed him.
And as long as that's the narrative no one is looking for him (husband). So they all get what they want.
The lawyer just seems odd. He is lying when says the clause is unusual. He may be telling the truth about how he never encountered it. But it's a lie that it's unusual legal language.
*walks into coffee shop*
Me: "I'll have a latte!"
Barista: "that'll be $4.50!"
Me: "can I pay for it in publicity? I'm a little short on cash right now..."
Reminds me of some bridezilla (or extra-ordinary imitation of one) who wanted her guests to pay for the wedding, the photographer to work for 'exposition', (meaning the venue was so pretty so he could get some good pictures out of it, which, hint, a good photographer can also get from a spider web), and the gods only know what her brilliant plan about the catering was.
Astonishingly enough, her selfish friends didn't go for it.
So sad. :C
Money, worth the value printed on it. Publicity….Priceless
It’s ridiculous but
✨🌟⭐️influencers⭐️🌟✨
Do this all the time and can’t understand why people call them out for it.
All tiger king taught me is that everyone on that show is shady af
Oh do a deep dive you'll be flabbergasted why Antle and Joe/Jeff aren't shut down also why they haven't gotten Tim in trouble for running a now illegal business as he no longer has the permits needed to have a open public zoo especially a contact zoo
For real, it makes me sad that people have decided there are heroes and villains in this, there are just a heap of villains and assholes and abused animals in between
Hey! Reinke, Saf, and Erik seem to be good people! But yeah throw the rest of the cast in the trash where they belong.
I think they murdered Saf as an act of transphobic violence. I feel like he was the most redeemable cast member.
Except the tigers
"Willy wonka and the sweatshop factory"
Such a great title
Neem oompa loompas need a union dude
would you consider doing a video on the series "Making a Murderer" I'm sure many of us would be interested in your view on that series/case
YES!!!
as a kid I had the haziest memory of going to a tiger zoo and wandering off before accidentally walking into a tiger feeding interaction and helping feed a tiger. I never watched Tiger King until this video and I have suddenly recognized where I went and that "oh that was real"
I would love it if you can review the people.vs OJ on Netflix. Because honestly there's a part in that show where Johnny Cochran on his legalbasically stage OJ's house before the jury gets to see it and I've always wondered till this day if that's legal or not. great video!
If there's any case where both sides kinda sucked besides the Tiger King thing, it'd be the OJ case.
I mean, Legal Eagle just exposed two instances where the documentary used some pretty sketchy information from a biased source (the the documentary politely forgot to mention was biased)
Stage a crime scene, I wonder...
@Lucy Bubz please, white people just rebranded it. Didn't even make it any better. They just made their slaves a tad further away from them physically. Oh, and they don't enslave people of color only.
And actual LEGAL slavery in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East? Sources please.
@Lucy Bubz No, it wasn't. XD
"Truth is really stranger than fiction." Joe Exotic is stranger than both, somehow.
OBJECTION
"You have to admit that these songs are a little catchy"
No, I will not admit to such things
I plead the 5th...
Overruled
As far as modern Country goes it's actually really good
@@Nfinittube Yeah but that's a pretty low bar to get over.
I wonder if Carole Baskin could sue the makers of Tiger King for defamation? They’ve definitely made most people think that she killed her husband and I’m sure it’s caused financial and emotional damages.
I cannot unhear "THE POWER OF ATTORNEY" now.
Kept expecting him to shoot lasers out of his hands.
Would love to hear your thoughts on why the hit man was never indicted and on Jeff Lowe's legal troubles.
Also Doc Antle and his rampant workplace sexual harassment / OSHA violations.
This is just my uneducated opinion, but I think that even though he took the money he never went anywhere near Florida so you could establish reasonable doubt that he intended to actually kill Baskin despite taking the money. Might make it harder to make conspiracy charges stick.
@@lukedodson3267 great point. One thought though - if part of the qualifications of conspiracy includes the federal statute about money changing hands and/or crossing state lines, he did both. And if my many hours of watching police procedurals tells me anything, it's that if one party of the conspiracy is guilty, then all parties are.
@@michaelpetersen703 I did some more digging and Glover, the handyman, did provide testimony to the US Attorneys regarding Joe so it's entirely possible he was given immunity in exchange for that.
@@lukedodson3267 NAL but he did go towards Florida (at least ended up in S. Carolina, I think he said he went to Florida at one point but then retracted that). It seems hard to me to say Joe is guilty for giving him the money, but hitman (Allan?) is totally fine after taking the money and driving towards Florida.
One thing you missed about the will.... the witness admitted she lied and was pressured into saying she witnessed Don signing it but she never did. She was an employee or volunteer and scared she would lose her job if she didn't lie.
Countless times when this show came out: I'm not from THAT part of Oklahoma
Unfortunately I am 😭😭
I recommend (if you haven't already) you watch well Red Comedy's "Tiger by the Tale" youtube series where they do commentary on Tiger King. The guys are from various parts of the south and their first reactions were "not where I come from" and then they slowly realize that oh yeah.. Down the road there was actually this one guy who had tropical reptiles or leopards or some similar shit. 😂😂😂
"But it's Florida, so I guess a little embezzlement is okay". I grew up and currently live in Tampa Bay and this is the MOST ACCURATE STATEMENT about Florida I have heard yet 😂😂😂
Reihaa yo it really is though, it’s pretty common lmao (also from Tampa Bay what’s up!)

@@Ghost-bs7oq the fact that Tampa historically had (I think still has) some pretty strong ties with the Mob... This is textbook 😂😂😂😂

Kid: **hands over school permission slip**

Objection!! Just wanted to say, anyone can be a notary. I know a few that will lie and do it for extra cash. So you can't be certain with that
Plus, I'm 99.5% sure they said that the notary on the new POA was Carol's mom, which isn't legal either. He skipped or missed that part.
@@calliew311 oh wow, I was unaware of that
Yeah, it’s literally a form you fill out and mail in with a fee, being a notary is super easy
"because we live in the dumbest timeline"
😭 It's so truuuueee
Everytime you said "lions and tigers" I immediately added "and bears? Oh my."
I'd pay a guy...
There were bears at the GW "Zoo"" so it fits
You know, it's a little bit of a throwback, but think it would be a lot of fun to see you tackle some of Night Court, especially since the writers actually went to New York City night courts to get ideas for the show.
The president saying "I'll take a look" carries no weight.
Exactly. The lawyer doesn't do well trying to hide his distaste for the president, though he'll never admit it.
He laughed when he said it. Like “ok, we’ll see”
@@ChrisM-zp5cr He's not trying to hide it, he just isn't making it the focal point in most videos. lol
@@ChrisM-zp5cr but trump is an awful awful excuse for a human being so its no wonder the lawyer dislikes him, thank god he's not your president anymore
Yeah I think he was joking around, the way he said it and his smile give it away, never never said anything about it afterwards
