"Here Kitty Kitty" might be the greatest thing I have ever seen.

New York Magazine did a long piece on Joe before the show came out. Here's an excerpt with an LSU connection:

quote:

Around this time, Joe’s never-ending supply of Insta-friendly baby tigers had begun attracting a number of high-profile fans. The porn actress Rachel Starr and the former pro basketball player Shaquille O’Neal were frequent visitors. (Upon seeing Shaq for the first time, Joe failed to recognize him. According to Joe, he turned to one of his employees and said, “Goddamn, did you see that big [N-word]?”)

there was a moment during an interview where she was talking about why she couldn't have killed her husband, I don't remember what she said but she did that cackle, held it a little bit too long, then sort of gazed off in the distance like Dennis Reynolds or some shite. Right then I said oh hell she actually killed him.


This exact moment has been posted here before and can't be overstated, this moment is when it's most obvious.

I felt so bad for Travis’s mom. Joe Exotic brainwashed him and ruined his life, then he makes his funeral all about himself.



I didn’t hate Joe until that moment. God damn that was hard to watch, especially him singing and like four people clapping out of a group of about 30

Also there's one maybe two likeable people on the whole show. That's hard to pull off



The only people I actually liked were his campaign manager, the guy with no legs and the chick that got her arm bit off. They seemed like the only ones thinking somewhat logically


The guy with long hair was alright but he got annoying at the end, the opposite of James. He was growing on me

There needs to be a documentary series about the Gypsies in North Augusta and the South Carolina area. Could rival Tiger King in terms of weird trashy characters


I remember we'd always see them at the Regal Theater off of Wheeler Rd. They'd never show up with less than about 8 people and they all looked like Twisted Sister. They would be carrying baby girls too young to walk and even they would be wearing eyeliner, hairspray, blood red blush, turquoise eyeshadow, and about a pound of gold jewelry. It was freaky enough that when I was really young I thought they had powers

Was the reason Joe was using the cane stem from the tiger biting his foot?

There's really no other reason to walk down Nebraska Ave...

Watched all but episode 7. I’m digging it so far. I did have a question though.

Did Travis kill himself on purpose? Wife said she read up on it and it was an accident, and that makes sense since he was saying the gun won’t fire “without a clip.” But at the same time they showed him talking about the whole “last cigarette before I die” thing and then he literally puts a loaded gun to his head and pulls the trigger. I assume it was an accident, but was anybody else confused by that?

Lost it when Joe put a picture of Don up on the screen and said:
"Hey Carol, it's a blast from your past, I'm buried under a fricking septic tank!"


My old lady had been half watching and telling me how stupid the show was until this point. She completely lost it and made me rewatch the previous episodes so she could get it in all it’s glory.

Accident
Some guns have a safety mechanism in place when the gun is "without a clip" it doesnt fire. This gun didnt have that safety mechanism.

I don't think Travis meant to shoot himself in the head at that moment but he probably had a meth induced overall death wish
