Today On KSR: 'Tiger King' is the entertainment you need right now

There is a new show on Netflix and it is exactly what the world needs right now. "Tiger King," the story of Joe Exotic and many other characters I struggle to believe are real human beings that walk this Earth in real life, takes us into the underground world of tigers and backyard zoos, and all of the drama we didn't know existed in that industry. We follow the main character, Joe Exotic, as he builds a tiger empire in Oklahoma, only to find himself in a nasty war with a tiger sanctuary in Florida. Then there is Joe's private life, his marriage(s), the circus of an operation he oversees, the other tiger collectors, a murder plot and so much absurdity that each episode of the seven-part docuseries could be its own seven-part docuseries. I'm telling you, friends: this one will go down as an all-timer on Netflix. When our grandchildren and great grandchildren look back at 100 years of Netflix, they will talk about Joe Exotic and "Tiger King." Watch it now because it will be discussed on KSR later this week. https://youtu.be/acTdxsoa428   Kentucky's coronavirus count is over 100. On Sunday, Governor Beshear announced more confirmed cases in the Bluegrass, bringing the state's total to 103. There have now been over 2,000 tests across the state and the average age of the confirmed cases is 53 years old. We will of course hear from Beshear again today at the same time (5 p.m. everyday) and Kenneth better have that St. Louis slide ready to go. All non-essential retail must close by end of day today. Beshear also made the big announcement that all in-person retail businesses that are not life-sustaining must close by 8 p.m. today. Grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, hardware stores and gas stations are some of the exceptions, most everywhere else must close the doors until this blows over. For more information on this new order that will affect just about everyone, including the list of businesses, click right here. Wake up with "Big Blue Swish" by Miraage. "Big Quick, Big Nick too; gon hit 'em with the Big Blue..." https://youtu.be/bfxyoaSAjdM Me at the computer right now: "They don't really want no issues. BBN, this for you."  There are no live sports in America today. However, live Czech Republican table tennis is coming up in fifteen minutes and you can bet on it on Bovada. I think Jiri Vrablik gets it done this morning. We asked for you Laettner reaction videos and you delivered. CBS re-aired the '92 UK-Duke game on Saturday and we dared you to film your young children experiencing the heartbreak for the first time. Here are some of the submissions you sent in: https://twitter.com/JSarver7/status/1241492861566287874 https://twitter.com/miamiboggs/status/1241490393449062406   KSR is live on your airwaves today. I don't know where we will all be or how we will get connected or if Shannon The Dude will be able to join in, but we will be on the air in one hour, somehow. So tune in at 10 a.m. as we talk about the weekend and draw another topic from the bucket of topics.   Stay safe out there, friends. Don't be the idiot.
