Today's Dropping Bombs episode goes behind bars with Joe Exotic, the Tiger King himself, calling in live from federal prison where he's serving a 22-year sentence for crimes he insists were manufactured by a corrupt system.
Joe breaks down how solitary confinement, suppressed evidence, and a deal made before trial put him away with no real defense. He also gets into the Netflix empire built off his name, the clemency request sitting in Trump's office, and why the system works differently depending on how much money you have.
The world never forgot Joe Exotic. The real question is whether justice ever will. This is the call you weren't supposed to hear.
