What do fake friends, missing legs, and tiger dens have in common? Oh honey—everything if you're John Reinke. You might know him from Tiger King, but let’s be clear: Netflix barely scratched the surface.

In this episode, Marley sits down with the former zoo manager of Joe Exotic’s big cat circus—aka the guy who held the whole damn place together while the rest of them were burning it down. From animal attacks to media betrayals, John spills what really happened behind the scenes… and why he’s still picking up the pieces.

And yes—Marley drops an f-bomb or two, because same.


Inside the Episode:

  • Losing his legs, not his fight: The accident that changed everything—and what kept him moving
  • Herding tigers and egos: How he ran the zoo while the cameras chased chaos
  • What Netflix left out: The receipts, the setups, and the people who vanished when it mattered
  • The moment he walked away—for good
  • Marley’s honest reaction: “Holy sh*t.” (And trust—she meant it)

✨ If you’ve ever trusted the wrong people, stayed too long, or tried to fix a hot mess with duct tape and dignity—this one’s for you. Press play. You’re not alone, and this story? It’s WILD.
