The New York Post explains the pair connected after Turner discussed the Tiger King series while appearing on his wife Kourtney Turner's podcast Holding Kourt.

"Hey Kourtney and Justin, this is Jeff and Lauren from the Tiger King show on Netflix. Thanks for watching our show," Lowe said in the video.

"Netflix is adding one more episode. It will be on next week. We're filming here tomorrow."

Lowe signs off by sharing some timely advice to stay healthy during the current Covid-19 pandemic, telling Turner to "stay safe, and put your mask on".
