In this episode (our last one till November), we talk to Joe Exotic from a federal prison in Texas. We then break down why he's there and why Cory believes he should be free. This episode humanizes Joe with all his trauma and flaws without excusing his actions. We also eat some gross gummy corn (Nicole loves it). See ya soon, Sunken Pressketeers!
