["Blow My Mind" playing]
[mystical music playing]
[Margo] Congratulations!
Your penis is a Tentacruel
with bulging pink glans
and glittering mushroom blue veins.
Your penis is filled with a…
quiet menace.
Your Bulbasaur's special move
is Ooze Attack, extremely potent pre-cum.
Watch out for…
Accidental pregnancies.
Your Flygon's special move
is Poison Prison.
In which you ask a girl for so many
reassurances that she loves you,
that she stops loving you.
[chuckles]
Hmm. [sucks teeth]
[gasps, sighs]
[groans]
Your Gengar's special moves
are Ooze Attack and Clear Body,
in which your penis completely disappears,
which can happen when it's cold out
or if you hear your mother's voice.
[gasps] Whoa.
[chuckles]
Your weiner is the cutest little Pokémon.
Pikachu, Pikachu.
And it ejaculates with a sneeze. Achoo!
Achoo!
[shutter clicking]
You got 200 fans?
- A hundred-ninety-six to be exact.
- [scoffs]
And you're just describing dicks
as Pokémon?
Turns out the ones that hate their dicks,
they tip the most.
- [chuckles] That is amazing.
- [chuckles]
No, what's amazing is WangMangler99.
She has 50,000 fans.
[sighs] But no one can find me.
I need more exposure
if I want more subscribers.
That's why I need to hook up with someone
who's better at this than I am.
- Mmm.
- [sniffs]
[chuckles] Mmm.
Aw. [chuckles] Who's the cutest?
Isn't he the cutest?
Yes, he is.
["Shout at the Devil" playing]
Shout, shout, shout ♪
Shout, shout, shout ♪
Shout at the devil! ♪
- [Susie] Nice.
- [shutter clicking]
[both] Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs.
- Boobs. Boobs.
- [chuckles]
It's so meta, dude. [chuckles]
Don't make me look too fancy.
We want things to feel authentic.
I know.
I just have a thing about flat lighting.
[shutter clicks]
Can I try on some of your cosplay stuff?
Oh, my God. Yes. Yes, please.
Just not Shadowheart, she's not ready yet.
But anything else.
- Nice. Oh, that's nice with your hair.
- Like this? Like that?
- [shutter clicks]
- Sick.
- You wanna see?
- Yeah.
[Susie] There you go.
[chuckles]
Oh, my God. These are funny.
[Susie] They're also hot.
[Margo exhales]
Where you going?
Well, day job does call from time to time.
Shuffling papers in the education mines.
Oh, right.
What?
[inhales deeply] Hmm, nothing. Just…
jealous, is all.
Sorry.
[Jinx groans, sighs]
[sniffs, sighs]
What are those?
Uh, Cheri just shipped me
all of my belongings.
[sighs] Media Mail. The cruelest class.
Kind of makes it official
when your stuff gets sent.
You've been in your room a lot.
Yeah, so have you.
In Susie's room.
What are you two doing in there?
[stammers]
We're making educational videos.
Ah.
Look, guys, I'm not just gonna pour
hot wax all over my tits for free. Ooh.
[content creator] Yeah, guys,
it's-it's a very complicated process.
If you wanna see that,
we'll do a payment plan, okay?
But we have to lay down a tarp.
We have to get protective eyewear.
- It's like a whole situation.
- You gotta think of the furniture.
- You have to think of the furniture.
- Somebody think of the furniture.
[chuckles]
[content creator]
I want to go to a scare zone right now.
I need to go to a haunted maze.
You like the one with the spiders
- at Knott's Scary Farm.
- You know damn well…
[content creator] But she doesn't like
the clowns that come and jump at you…
Knott's, huh?
[gasps]
- Wait.
- [typing]
[chuckles]
I knew it. I knew it.
That's the Huntington Beach pier.
You woke me for this?
- These girls are locals.
- Okay.
With like 50,000 fans each.
Last week, they had a couple thousand
people watching their stream, live.
HungryGhost needs to be buddies
with these girls.
Hmm, it does sound beneficial.
I'm gonna message 'em. Hmm. Okay.
"Hi, I love your streams
and I also live in Orange County
and I would love to be a guest someday,
if you would be willing to help a new
creator survive in this crazy world."
No, you're being way too thirsty.
"PS. Big fan."
You said that already.
And $50 tip. [clicks tongue]
You can't buy buddies, Margo.
Watch me.
[birds chirping]
Zero response.
[sighs]
[computer chimes]
[scoffs] "Ha ha."
That's what I get for $50?
"Ha ha." Okay.
"Fuck the fuck off,
you flat-lit, flat-ass,
Orange County, trash heap bitches."
[sighs]
Fuck you. [sighs]
[computer chimes]
What?
"Titmouse"?
What do you mean you're going over there?
I mean, I'm going over there.
I paid them 50 bucks.
I deserve satisfaction.
These could be dangerous people.
Well, huh. I can be dangerous too.
- Hey, how we doing?
- Hey, hi.
Could you watch Bodhi for a couple hours?
I have a job interview.
Uh, yeah. It just so happens
my schedule's free today.
[Bodhi cooing on monitor]
[Susie] Margo.
[buzzer rings]
[inhales deeply, sighs]
- [hip-hop music playing on speakers]
- Hey.
[sighs]
Hey. Oh, ah.
Don't take it personal, sweetie.
She's just really annoyed at you.
Come inside.
Hi, um, I'm…
[exclaims] HungryGhost.
We protect our precious identities
around here. I'm SucculentRose.
Rose for short. Welcome, welcome, chica.
You look "funkadelic."
You got some balls
to actually show up here. [chuckles]
- [dog barks]
- Aw. Hi, baby.
That's Biotch.
She's a thousand years old.
She hates the Roomba.
And KC.
I mean, WangMangler. [chuckles]
She acts mean,
but really it's an affectation.
In actuality, she's fine.
Right, you're fine? Use your words.
Look, I'm sorry. It's just, I paid $50
and all I got back was "Ha ha"
and it triggered me.
Aw. It triggered you?
You're not getting back your 50 bucks.
Okay. K, K, K, K. Hey. Hi.
She's really pretty and young.
So, what are we? Chopped liver?
No. You've been saying it's time for us
to introduce some new characters
and our lighting is flat.
Maybe she can help. [sighs]
[sighs] Look at her, she's green.
Green? I'm not that green.
Don't get crazy, girl. [chuckles]
[chuckles] Oh, yeah,
you're not that green?
You showed up to a random person's house
in the middle of the week,
wearing fucking space buns.
You don't even know us.
She's got a point.
[KC] Did you even share
your location with anybody?
It's just not something
that an experienced person does.
We could be human traffickers.
Skin suit people. You don't know.
But you're not human traffickers.
You don't know.
What's skin suit people?
Like the movie that we watched
the other day. Like Buffalo Bill.
- Oh.
- [KC] Yeah.
He was sweet
and he loved his little dog too.
Either way, you're not ready.
[Rose] I think she's right.
You know, you risk being a liability.
[chuckles]
Guys, look, I know that I am new to this…
[sighs] …but I am so,
so eager to collaborate.
And I've been told
that I'm a really good writer by people.
I've got big ideas,
world-transforming concepts
to drive your numbers up and up and up.
[presenter on TV] There she goes.
And listen to this crowd. Electric!
As Leather and Lace take on Jinx.
Oh, my goodness.
See? You get him around.
You see, how she's got him?
[chattering on TV]
- [knocks on door]
- [grunts]
Guess again, ladies!
[grunting]
[presenter] Brutal…
Hello.
Hello.
- Where's Margo?
- Job interview.
Goddamn it.
You watching yourself fight women, Jinx?
No. It's just an old match
with Leather and Lace.
She was supposed to do
wedding prep with me today.
You can't reschedule?
You can't unbake a cake.
Marcy from the church
has a bakery in Yorba Linda…
How is church, Shyanne?
Are you enjoying church?
And she's doing our wedding cake for free,
but I have to pick the flavor.
What's your favorite Psalm?
Mmm. And there is no way
I am stuffing myself
with all this sugar so close to the date.
I happen to have developed
quite a refined palate.
Mmm.
- Fine. Go for it.
- Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
All right.
[babbling]
Hi, baby. Hmm.
- You got him?
- Uh-huh.
Hey. Hey, baby.
[Bodhi crying]
This one's…
- [shushes]
- [Jinx] Mmm…
Mmm. Mmm.
Nice crumb.
[chuckles] Mmm. Mmm.
- What the fuck?
- Mmm.
He just cries with me.
[stammers] I pass him back and…
Bend your knees.
- I'm sorry?
- Go ahead. Bend 'em.
[chuckles] I didn't say squat.
Just slightly.
Okay.
[exclaiming]
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
[Shyanne] Mm-hmm.
- Yeah. It's all in the legs.
- Mm-hmm.
When you bend the knees,
kinda works like a shock system.
They feel safe. Mmm.
What?
I don't suppose you could've shared this
with me back then?
When you walked out on her,
she was a baby, you know?
Of all the times
when she would need to be held,
would need to be made to feel safe,
and you?
No, couldn't bother to say to me
just bend your fucking knees.
What's your problem, Shyanne?
My problem is that
she has always innately…
I mean, you don't even know her.
[stammering] And she doesn't have
the slightest idea of you.
And yet, with you she feels held
and she feels safe.
[groans] I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Oh, just wedding stress and the planning.
[groans] I'm just…
[grunts]
[sighs] Sometimes I think
the whole wedding industrial complex is…
[chuckles] …is designed to, uh,
make a woman feel like a failure.
This one right here, is the one.
It's pink champagne.
[sniffs]
[slow instrumental music playing]
Ooh, hello, sexy Zelda.
You're born to cosplay, bitch.
[shutter clicking]
[Susie sighs] I still can't believe
they actually asked you to collab.
Well, it's just a trial. A couple
photo shoots in their weird sex-loft.
- Ooh.
- A mutually beneficial agreement.
[Susie] Mm-hmm.
They're worried
that they're gonna get stale.
- And I'm fresh meat.
- Oh.
High in Omega-3s.
Oh, gobble, gobble.
Think I might actually
make a real living out of this.
- Hey, cool dad shirt.
- [chuckles]
Listen, um…
There's this fan expo.
It's, uh, it's wrestlers, ex-wrestlers.
Signing autographs, that sorta thing.
I typically avoid 'em because
they're for somebody I used to be,
which I'm not now.
How would you feel about coming with me?
- Everything okay?
- Your mother made a remark.
How you don't have
the slightest idea of me.
- [chuckles] That's not true.
- It's true enough.
Anyway, it would be good for you
to get a glimpse of my prior life.
The prior me.
I'm-I'm trying.
This is me trying.
I think he might be depressed.
Or it was what I said.
Mm-hmm. Nice.
Okay, um…
Well, you know, it's natural
for a father to want to know his daughter
and for said daughter to have feelings
if she doesn't actually know him.
True.
Mm-hmm.
I think I might talk to him.
You know, clear the air.
It'll be fine.
- Girls, have you seen Bodhi's binky?
- [screams] No! No!
[screams] Never mind!
[panting]
[Susie] Oh, my God.
I'm sorry. Uh, I should've assumed.
I mean, I guess it makes sense
that you and Susie
would be in a romantic relationship
- and decide not to tell me.
- Ugh. That's…
That's not it at all.
Okay.
Then… Then what?
[sighs] It's…
my job.
[Jinx] Your job?
[inhales deeply, sighs] Um…
I'm just gonna say it.
I made an account on OnlyFans
and that's my job.
You're on OnlyFans?
[Margo] I am.
It's, um… It's mainly writing.
It's like descriptive prose, really.
There are… There are
sometimes some images.
Oh. May I see?
Um, absolutely not. [laughs]
So, it's pornography.
[stammers] It's not pornography.
Sometimes there's…
some nudity.
Oh, God. Margo.
Oh, I hate this. I hate it.
You don't wanna be
one of those kinds of girls.
What kind of girls?
Sluts? Those kind of girls?
Girls who use sex and exhibitionism
to get what they want.
[mutters] This is not you.
So…
what's me?
Why don't you tell me what's me?
Well, my mom worked at Hooters
and my father was a pro wrestler.
So, tell me what's me.
What about Bodhi's dad?
- What does he think about this?
- No. He doesn't get a vote.
- He's not in the picture.
- Well, he may one day
- want to reenter the picture.
- I don't wanna talk about him ever.
This is not something
an honorable person does.
I have a son…
who needs to be provided for.
How dare you judge me?
["Be My Baby" playing]
The night we met
I knew I needed you so ♪
And if I had the chance
I'd never let you go ♪
- [knocks on door]
- Hey.
- [music stops]
- [Shyanne] Hey.
- What are you doing?
- What do you mean what am I doing?
I'm picking you up to do our errands.
Do you remember
we have a wedding coming up?
No, I mean what are you doing
suddenly jerking the radio off like that?
Like what?
Like you didn't want me to hear
what was playing.
Was it vulgar?
[laughs] No, it was not vulgar.
[stammers]
Well, why didn't you want me to hear?
Uh…
[sighs]
I was listening
to some sample wedding songs
and I thought I'd surprise you.
We have our wedding song.
W-Which we need to rehearse, by the way.
[sighs] Does everything
have to be so orchestrated?
- What's the matter?
- No, nothing's the matter.
I just… I just… I don't know.
I… I would think we…
we would want the moment to be…
I don't know, more spontaneous.
W-Well, it's a ceremony, you know?
It takes work, Shyanne.
Probably a bit like marriage itself.
What? Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you, uh,
having second thoughts about us?
No.
Well, then what's going on?
[sighs]
You're like a…
a new car, Kenny.
When people buy automobiles,
more times than not,
they're buying the narrative.
The, um, driving it.
Being seen driving in it.
The way the car makes them feel.
I like how I feel when I'm with you.
Being seen with you
and I even like me with you.
That's awesome
because I don't always like myself.
I…
I love you so much, Shyanne.
[Margo] Well, maybe it's not meant to be.
- [Shyanne] Of course it was meant to be.
- Mom…
I didn't call you
to talk me out of my marriage.
I just called to talk.
Yeah, well, I can't talk right now.
I'm at a wrestling convention with Dad.
What? Why?
Because of something you said.
About the cake?
And now here he is. So, I'll just…
I'll talk to you later. Bye.
- All set.
- All set.
Hey, uh, for today, can we…
can we just forget about that?
Of course.
["MF From Hell" playing]
Well, here we go.
[bell rings]
[crowd cheering]
Whoo!
Wow. So, these are your people?
[Jinx] Uh, past tense.
These were my people.
[wrestler] Jinx?
Lace?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- [chuckles]
Wow.
Wow.
[both chuckling]
[Jinx] Oh, my God.
[stammers] Uh, do you remember Margo?
- Hi.
- Margo.
- Do you remember meeting her?
- Yeah, you were like, three.
Feels like yesterday.
- [Margo chuckles]
- Now I feel old.
- You look fantastic.
- Oh.
Well, I'm doing some photos later, so…
Man, I lost all track.
I assumed you moved to Melbourne
after you and Leather…
Leather is dead to me.
Fair enough.
So-So what happened?
You fall off the end of the earth
- or…
- Oh, pretty much.
I went to law school.
- Say what?
- Yeah.
I have an office in Costa Mesa.
- A nice little practice.
- Jinx? Jinx.
Uh.
- Can we get a photo?
- There we go.
- Excuse me.
- Go for it.
- Sorry.
- Hey, guys.
Wow. Look at that. People love your dad.
- [chuckles]
- They just love him.
- Aw.
- [shutter clicks]
[imitates choking]
- Thank you so much.
- How about we give 'em a little show?
- Uh. [chuckles]
- Come on. Come on. Jericho's game.
- Whoa. No. I don't think so.
- Yes. For old time's sake.
Come on, man. Come on.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] Lace! Lace! Lace!
Just like riding a bike.
[fan] Yeah, man! He's scared!
- [crowd chanting] Jinx! Jinx! Jinx!
- [bell rings]
[announcer] Jinx!
[crowd cheers]
[crowd] Whoo!
Whoo!
[Lace] Come on now. Come on, old man.
Come on!
[crowd cheering]
Yeah!
[Jericho] Jinx.
I love you, man.
Now give me a hip toss.
What do you think about that?
Now you can make some noise!
[whoops]
[grunts]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd laughs]
[kisses]
[both grunting]
Just block this punch. Shoot me off.
I'll take care of you.
Don't you dare take it easy on me.
- [grunts]
- [bones crack]
- [cheering]
- [crowd chanting] Lace! Lace! Lace!
[chuckles]
- [crowd chanting] Lace! Lace! Lace!
- [grunts]
One, two, three!
- [bell rings]
- [crowd cheering]
Lace! Lace! Lace! Lace! Lace!
Okay, lover boy. You can get up now.
- I actually can't.
- What?
I just… I can't move.
Hey.
[Margo] He says he's fine,
but he can't quite move,
so they're sending us to urgent care.
Anaheim somewhere.
Okay. I-I'll call you in a bit.
- [inhales, sighs]
- Oh, Dude!
Oh, Jinx!
- [Jinx mumbling]
- [fan] Hey, Jinx!
How you doing?
Uh, better.
I think I was just in spasm.
Listen. Come a little closer.
Um…
When we get to urgent care,
the doc is probably gonna ask me
if I have any history with drugs.
I'm just gonna say no.
We can figure it out after.
I can just refuse to take
whatever they send me home with.
I just know from my experience,
as soon as you bring it up,
they instantly treat you like a criminal.
Okay.
Also…
I was so wrong to judge you before.
I'm sorry.
I was feeling protective of you.
But what you're doing,
we're all just putting on a show.
Entertaining.
As Lace or as Jinx.
- Or as?
- HungryGhost.
Mmm. That's what I'm calling myself.
[chuckles]
I like it.
And I love you.
And I'm gonna be there by your side.
No matter what.
The father. I know you told me
to never talk to you about him,
but is this young man even
aware that he is a father?
He… uh…
He was my teacher.
I beg your pardon?
[Margo] My lit professor at Fullerton.
Your teacher?
I signed an NDA.
And it means I can't go back to school.
But he paid me, so it's done.
Margo, he… he fucking paid you?
- What are you… What are you even…
- Just…
- We'll just talk about this later. Okay?
- Fuck.
Fu… [sighs]
You're sure he's okay?
[Margo]
The doctor said he's completely fine.
No compromise to the spinal fusion
or anything.
Yes. And he's okay to walk, right?
Yeah. They actually recommended walking.
Basically, he just seized up.
Probably more from moving boxes
than wrestling.
- Just keep an eye on him.
- Yeah, uh, the reason I called…
I haven't got an eye on him.
What?
Uh, well, he went for a walk
about 20 minutes ago.
- But he seemed okay.
- Susie.
Look, it's difficult to keep an eye on…
[singsongy]
…two different people. Yes, it is.
One who can walk, and one who can't.
[KC] Ghost, come on.
- We don't got all day.
- I'm coming. [sighs]
I'm sorry. I'll call you back.
Okay. All set.
I just wanna say one time,
if you don't wanna do this, it's okay.
It's easier to get in
than it is to get out.
- I want in.
- Okay.
Well, in that case, you need to make
a TikTok and an Instagram.
- I have an Instagram.
- Mmm. No, baby.
You need to make a TikTok and an
Instagram as your HungryGhost persona.
Link it back to your OnlyFans,
totally separate
from your personal accounts.
And try not to let the civs know what
you're doing because they'll dox you.
And destroy your life. You know,
put your real identity online.
- Okay.
- A lot of times you're gonna get messages
saying that you should kill yourself,
or destroy your pussy
with a cheese grater.
So, just find like,
a really deep well of strength
and just tap in, you know?
What's this?
- [chuckles]
- [singsongy] NDA and waiver.
You gotta sign it.
'Cause your life's about to change, girl.
And if not for the better,
we can't have you suing us.
Just… fuck it.
[Rose] Now, where are you with your taco?
- I beg your pardon?
- Your vulva, my love.
What are you charging for pics?
Oh, I haven't even shown that yet.
What?
Zero vag pics at all?
Just boobs and butt only.
That's actually really good.
No. Like, that's insanely good.
Like, you cannot waste the vag debut.
It's the biggest debut
- you'll make in your life.
- No, we had no idea,
and we wasted ours weeks into the process.
- It was just… [blows]
- Dude.
- Puss in the wind.
- And we sold ours for like $3. Pathetic.
[gasps] Oh, my God. I got it.
For your first vag shot,
we'll make you a scary girl. [growls]
- Scary girl?
- Yeah. Like a sexy, scary girl
like, crawling up the walls,
on the ceiling
and your head's flying around.
And you're floating in the air like a real
hungry ghost ready to chomp on a dick.
Oh, my god! Like The Grudge.
[both groaning]
Yeah, yeah. Like, it's your legs open
and then the hand comes out of the puss.
And then there's another puss in the hand
and another hand comes out of that.
- And it's like, infinite puss.
- I'm obsessed.
- You give the best ideas.
- You love it, right?
You know, I'll marinate on it.
Ugh, fine.
Your vag your choice, girl.
Now, why don't you tell us about some of
those big, world-changing ideas you got?
[pop music playing]
[music ends]
[door opens]
Professor Gable. Sorry to interrupt.
James Millet.
Hi.
How do you do?
I guess I'm doing okay.
As okay as a 54-year-old man
who has a daughter
and the last name Millet
could expect to be doing.
You're hurting me.
What? With my handshake?
A firm handshake is
a sign of good character.
You would be
a proponent of good character,
wouldn't you, Professor?
I mean, if you had a kid,
you would want he or she to grow up
to be a person of good character.
Am I right?
You're really hurting me.
- [professor grunts, screams]
- [bones cracking]
