Oklahoma’s Own Nomad’s Encounter Owner Guest Stars On Squid Games

The owner of Nomad's Animal Encounter in Seminole, Oklahoma has officially reached new heights on social media. All of the "Oklahoma Tea Time" stories and "People From Oklahoma" skits have helped land him a spot as a guest star on the famous TV series "Squid Games The Challenge."

Matt Crabtree, the owner of Nomad's Animal Encounter, announced his appearance on Season 2 earlier today, October 30. Sporting his turqouise jumpsuit and lucky number 207, he expressed just how excited he was about the news.

"It has honestly been so hard to keep the secret in," he said. Well, now that the secret is out, here's what we can expect from Matt and the rest of the Squid Games experience.

Squid Games: The Challenge Season 2 airs on Netflix on Tuesday, November 4.

It makes sense why they would ask an exotic animal caretaker who has some experience adapting to challenging situations - something any animal owner is familiar with.

The Netflix series was inspired by the original "Squid Games" TV show. Contestants compete in a series of "high-stakes children's challenges" in order to win a $4.56 million dollar cash prize.

Since Crabtree is competing against 455 other players, he'll need to bring out all of the special skills he may have picked over the many years of being a wildlife educator. But, judging by the community's response to his announcement, a lot of people already believe he's on the winning side of the competition.

Oklahomans aren't entirely shocked by the news from Crabtree.

Interestingly, on the competition's website, they include the competitor's name, occupation, location that the competitor is from, and their astrological sign. Crabtree's Aries personality may come in handy while he's on the show.

Many of the followers from the Nomad's Animal Encounter Facebook page are excited, but not necessarily surprised that Crabtree would appear on a show like Squid Games. One commenter wrote:

"[Not Gonna' Lie] ever since I came across your videos I thought you’d do something big and I can definitely see you doing something like this."

Many others were just as supportive, but confessed to never watching the series before. But now that he's appearing on the next season, there's certainly going to be more viewers.

Where to watch Crabtree & other Squid Games contestants on November 4.

Currently, the series is only available on Netflix. Those who want to be notified when season 2 goes live can visit the app and ask to be reminded. Let's see just how far Crabtree can take Oklahoma throughout this competition.
