Gigolos (2011) s06e06 Episode Script
Season 6, Episode 6
1 Being a gigolo isn't always easy.
I'm very proud to be called a gigolo.
There's nobody out there more competitive than me.
I try to break a sweat six days a week.
Well, the Brace philosophy is to really be good to people.
I've had so many women in my life, it's just a blur.
I really love women learning about them, learning what makes them tick.
Holy crap! I consider myself a real feminist.
Being in this business, you have to be a very caring, giving person.
- And I believe in what I'm doing.
- Awesome.
I was brought up in the Bible Belt, and I enlisted in the Marine Corps.
I see life as a gift.
You go balls out and just do it full force.
It's Vegas, baby.
Come on! There you go.
Whoo-hoo! Perfect.
You look quite dashing.
Thank you.
- Try this wine out? - Yes.
Thank you.
This was all very sweet.
I kind of feel like I'm going to prom.
You wanna go to the prom with me? You should see what I looked like when I was a kid in prom.
I was 12.
I was like this right here.
You know, like a little, like, 10-year-old.
My name's Lexi.
I'm 43.
I'm from the Seattle area, and I'm a critical care nurse.
I am actually recently divorced about a year and a half ago due to infidelity.
My husband left me for my friend and informal triathlon coach.
- Fill 'er up.
- There you go.
Oh, boy.
We were married for 20 years.
Three kids.
So - How's the kids and things? - Kids are great.
- Yeah? They're growing up? - Yep.
- Got one graduating in June.
- Oh, my God.
- Technically an adult.
A little frightening.
- Oh, my God.
Bradley knows that I needed someone who would simply listen and understand where I come from.
- The youngest one's driving now, and - Oh, my God.
But also, he understood that what I needed the boyfriend experience without the boyfriend drama.
Well, the good thing is they can take care of themselves sometimes, - so you don't have to be there all the time.
- Sometimes it just gives Mommy time to come and enjoy Bradley's company.
With Bradley, I don't get the inconsiderateness, the flakiness that I would get from somebody that I just meet out in the normal world.
- Here you go there, little pup.
- "Little pup.
" Ding! This eliminates those.
There's no expectations, and I appreciate that.
So, how's work been? Work's been interesting.
I actually switched jobs.
Back to taking care of patients.
What's the craziest thing you've seen in there lately? Lately? There's always the interesting foreign bodies in various orifices, and Tabasco bottle.
That was That was one I've seen.
- Tabasco bottle? - Mm-hmm.
- Oh, up their - Rectum.
Yeah.
- You serious? - Yes.
Goddamn.
Welcome to my world.
How big around was So, it was, like, a little, like - Like, tiny - Yeah.
Heard of some weird shit up there before, but never a Tabasco bottle.
Di Was it Was it, like Di - Was the lid on it or off of it? - It was on.
Oh, thank God.
Imagine if the lid was off of it.
Well, it was a glass bottle.
Imagine that bottle broke.
Oof.
- Was it Tabasco or TapatÃo? - Tabasco.
Brings a whole new meaning to "ring of fire.
" You like your new place, then? Yes.
I bought it as an investment property.
A lot of my clients have looked for the boyfriend experience, because they want a guy And that goes for every girl.
They want a guy that's gonna be real with them, or treats them like they're a couple and not like it's a job.
I've always been romantic.
I like doing extravagant, different things for clients, because it makes me feel happy knowing that they were surprised.
And they get something different.
And we do give a lot of ourselves to these clients.
We give a piece of ourselves out.
And it's the little things like that that really mean something with a girl.
A little bit.
Bradley is clean cut.
He's fit.
He's this Southern gentleman who just knows how to treat a lady.
He is incredibly intuitive about what a woman needs and adjusts what he does based upon that.
Coming out of a 20-year marriage based on infidelity, using a gigolo, for me, was a great way to boost my self-esteem.
Bradley's efforts today were simply amazing.
The flowers and wine and having the limo pick me up I can't describe a more romantic date.
It is absolutely a freeing experience, and something that brings new qualities to my life.
Sorry.
I'm gonna have marks all over me.
I've always wanted to do a country song.
I've heard a lot about this local country music star named Justin Mather.
I went to one of his shows, and I was definitely impressed with his work, and I asked him if he'd be interested in collaborating with me.
- What's up, guys? - Hey, what's up? - Hey, man, what's going on? - How's it going, man? - Good.
Good.
- Welcome.
- Thanks.
- You all right? - What's up? - Ready to do this, or what? I am.
I think so.
My name is Justin Mather.
I'm a country singer here in Las Vegas.
I think we should probably start with some, uh, vocal work.
As I told you, I haven't had, uh, too much formal training besides, like, high school chorus and singing in the shower.
So, if you can help me with that a little bit, then maybe go into the strumming and patterns, and talk about how we're gonna record it.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Sounds good.
- Is that cool? I just finished my fourth album.
Played at the Palms and opened for Gregg Allman.
I've opened for Robert Earl Keen, and so I've done some relatively big things, and Let's do that again.
What do you think? - That's good.
That's good.
- All right.
Nick actually had a country song in mind that he hadn't finished, and we wrote it together, and here we are.
Let's talk about some lyrics really quick first.
I think I like the Hong Kong and Peru.
It's It's a little more fun.
- A little more interesting.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
One of the reasons why I wanted to do the country song is, it's kind of a feel-good, warmhearted song.
You know, the track's called "Everybody's Got a Little Country in 'Em.
" And I kind of associate country with, you know, good.
So here's your first note.
- Don't - Don't Don't - Don't - There you go.
Hold that.
- You might be - You might be - From Hong - You might be from Hong Hong - Kong - Kong Yeah, right there.
- You might be from Hong Kong - From Hong Kong One.
A little country in me A little country in you Yeah, that's good.
Let's go to the chorus.
From Madison to Oh, yeah.
Are you gonna you gonna rap this, or do you wanna sing this part? Creating a rap song and creating a country song are definitely two different animals.
You know, they both require different skills and abilities.
Maybe if I rapped or kind of talked in a low voice while you sung the chorus? Yeah, let's try I feel like I wanna sing it.
Maybe if I sing it and you rap as as closely in in rhythm with it, or speak it, it might go good together.
I had this this guitar lick from a song that I'd written.
I never finished the song, but I I remembered that lick, and I was like, "You know what.
Maybe we can use this.
" From Madison to Dallas To Las Vegas This town's to me prayin', beggin' for forgiveness Can I get a "yee-haw," "hallelujah" And a witness too For some reason, I wanna go up one level for "forever red, white, and blue.
" Forever red, white, and blue Forever red, white, and blue Let's try it.
So, we're gonna be coming out of a chorus.
Forever red, white, and blue Forever red, white, and blue Um, what do you think? I think I'm liking that.
It's great to find out just how talented Justin was, and to get some guitar lessons from him too.
I was thinking for an intro, I can take this lick.
And do it, like, three times.
Here's number three.
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna do anything fancy.
I'm good with just the strumming.
You can just go You can kind of just go And then I'll do a I'll do a stop.
- So, it'll be - Put on my boots - Put - Put on my - Put - Put on Put, put, put - Put - A little higher.
There you go.
I'm getting the singing down.
I got the strumming down.
Now, it's putting those two together.
That's That's the tricky part.
That's where I need To be honest, I wasn't sure how our first meeting would go.
I knew he was a very intelligent and talented guy.
A little country in me A little country in you It definitely wouldn't have come out as good without him.
A little country in me A little country in you Yah-hoo! Why don't you come down here more often? Because the weather's never like this.
Warming up.
So, are you ready for this? It's been four years.
It's been a long time.
Well, hold on.
I need to warm my arm up first.
- Oh, man.
Feels good, though.
- It does.
My name's Forrest, and, uh, I'm Vin's brother.
I, uh I currently live in Chicago, and I'm a professor of sociology.
I spend my time kind of questioning why it is that America doesn't accept, uh, people that are different.
And, I mean, I think that that my brother's profession kind of falls squarely into that.
I'm in Vegas, really, just to catch up with with Vin.
Uh, we both lived together in L.
A.
, and we don't get to see each other very much anymore.
You know, I haven't even gotten a chance to go back and play back in Cali, man.
- But you know what? - What? What's wild is, you're really not missing anything.
When we were living together, uh, in L.
A.
, we both ended up playing in tournaments.
We'd try to play as partners as often as we could, but we'd wind up almost in fights on the sand just because we're so competitive with each other as brothers, and then we wouldn't talk for weeks at a time.
- I could've done that forever, man.
- Yeah.
Just, like, work a software gig, play volleyball in the morning, tournaments on the weekends.
Right? I gue I mean, - for me, it was like I could do that - Or? And not take the next step in my career.
Fair.
I guess that's sort of the same thing for me.
There was always this running competition of of who was better, but in the end, it drove us both to excel at everything that we did, because we constantly sort of had this other person as a benchmark.
And at the end of the day, now especially that we're so close, I think it was all for the best.
- You don't miss the tournaments, though? - Oh, God.
- Uh, you know what I do miss.
- What? You showing up in a velour suit.
- Hey! Swag! - Totally, dude! Swear to God, on the beach in a velour, like, FUBU suit.
That's swag.
I found out my brother was a gigolo on a on a random phone call.
And he's always been incredibly good with women, and so, it wasn't too much of a surprise that that he had found a way to to make a profession out of that.
That's swag, dawg.
It's It's like a It's like a bunch of white dudes in sandals and board shorts, and you've got, like, a velour suit and a gold chain.
Gold chain You know it's the best, though.
That's how I do it.
A lot of people don't realize that he's he's probably one of the most kind of caring, genuine, loyal folks out there, and he's he's really an amazing guy.
- One more round? - Sure.
I'll set you, if you want.
Okay.
That's how you bounce 'em.
But, God, I'm out of breath.
- Isn't that weird? - Ohh! I used to be able to do this for two hours.
I had no idea what was gonna happen with this song, but it went so well that Justin decided to, uh, bring in a full band.
Hell, yeah.
Whole band's here.
Oh, he's here.
- Look who's here.
- Hi, man.
Nick.
- Yeah.
Steve.
Nice to meet you.
- What's up, man? - How you doing? - Good.
Okay.
My man! He made it.
This is my favorite, right here.
The country twangy thing.
What's up, man? I've been playing with these guys for years, and they also are all part of other bands as well.
We're ready to roll when you are, man.
Ready to rock and roll, huh? All right, boys.
Let's do this.
One, two, one.
No matter where you're from No matter what you've been through You might be from Hong Kong You might be from Peru A little country in me A little country in you I can milk them cows I can sure bail hay I can saddle up a horse And drink a keg on my birthday There's a little country in me And a little country in you Hey! It was challenging for him to sing this song, and I tried to help him.
But, I mean, he's a rapper.
He's used to speaking the parts.
Beggin' for forgiveness Can I get a "yee-haw," "hallelujah" Country in me A little country in you - Ow! - Good job, guys.
- Owww! - Nice.
Well, how you doing? Well, hi.
My name is Billie, and I'm 48, and I moved to Vegas a couple years ago.
- Can I get you something to drink? - Oh, yeah.
For sure.
I'd love a little bit of, uh, tequila.
- Do you Do you carry tequila? - Of course I do.
- Okay.
That's my drink.
- Yes.
Have a seat, and I'll be right back.
Okay.
It sounds great.
I hired Brace 'cause I'm needy.
I'm a single woman out in the desert.
And Brace is perfect.
He's confident.
What do you got, whiskey for yourself? Thank you.
- Yeah.
I am a whiskey girl.
- Appreciate that.
Yeah? I like his personality.
He's funny.
He's into his body and and taking care of himself.
So, where are you from there? I live here.
I moved her a few years ago.
Yeah? From where? I moved here from Oregon.
And what's up in Oregon? Not much anymore.
"Anymore"? No.
Just Why, did something leave? What left? Yeah.
Mom and Dad.
Oh, really? Okay.
Yeah.
Mom and Dad aren't there no more, so I kind of got a nice little inheritance from them.
Well, that's nice.
So, um, I bought this house, and I live here alone, and I'm just really overwhelmed trying to keep up with it all.
I wanted to hire a gigolo because of the fantasy of having the perfect man take care of me.
Now that I have you here for a few hours, I got a honey-do list for you.
- Oh, that's my list? - Yes.
- Oh.
Oh, wow.
- I made it for you.
- So, this is what you want me to do? - Well Yes.
I'm just overwhelmed, so I'll just let you go at it.
- I see you've got "dust blinds" - Yes.
"leaves out of the pool, plumbing leak under the sink.
" All right.
I can do that.
Yeah.
I needed some housework done.
I really did.
And I like having a guy around.
So, instead of hiring a handyman and a housekeeper, I have the best of both worlds today.
Okay.
So, periodically, I'll probably come down here, take a little swig of this.
If you need a drink, just let me know.
Just make yourself at home.
- Git 'er goin'.
- Git 'er goin'.
I'll get, uh, whatever I need to get, and I'll, uh, you know, just evaluate the job and make sure that, uh, I can get it done for you at the proper time.
I got lots of tools too.
I am a very handy guy.
I'm very smart.
I can build things, fix things, whatever.
I'm gonna put this bad boy on.
Well, sweet! I was a skilled tradesman at General Motors, so, really, I could build a house, I can build this, I can build that.
How's this contraption work? But I decided to become a gigolo so I wouldn't have to do that shit anymore.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Gettin' somewhere.
Do I wanna do this list for Billie? Not really.
But I will because I'm a professional.
Goddamn it.
- You need help? - No.
- I'll figure it out.
- Okay.
You just do whatever you you're doing over there and, uh, I'll deal with this.
This mechanical nightmare.
Jesus Christ.
Probably be thirsty for another one in a minute here.
Someone hires a gigolo because of the fantasy of having the perfect man, the body.
And it turns me on.
Don't forget to get in between every one of them.
Okay.
I'll get 'em.
You got lots of chores to do.
- I do? - Yes.
Maybe I should've drank some coffee so I could get jacked up for this.
I need you to sweep the bottom of the pool and get the leaves out.
The bottom of the pool.
I'm thinking to myself, "Cleaning a pool? That's a joke.
" I have my own pool.
I used to clean my neighbor's pool when we were young.
How bad could it be? Fuckin' nasty swamp pool.
Man, this thing is nasty.
Wonder when the last time she had this fucking thing done.
Cleaning the pool is like, uh, cleaning something that's never been cleaned before.
Christ, I wouldn't swim in this goddamn swamp water for nothing.
And I'm, like, thinking to myself, "Oh, do you actually swim in this damn thing?" It's murky.
It's green.
Ugh! What is that? It's like seaweed.
There's shit swimming down I saw a few shadows down there.
I thought there was a great white or a big catfish down there.
It's a maintenance nightmare.
Get out of there.
I could just picture her swimming in there, like, thinking it's all like, oh, Shangri-La, and we're swimming together, and I'm holding 'em, like Oh, shit.
No.
I think that could turn into a health hazard.
What a mess.
What do you think, fish? Can I get it for you? Okay.
I thought I was here to lay pipe instead of actually laying pipe.
There's nothing better than watching a man work.
Okay.
Can You got a nice plumber's crack.
Oh, did I get one? Do I got one? All right.
Well, I think I got your leak fixed here.
Perfect.
Now you can fix my plumbing.
Oh, God.
I was really enjoying the scenery and watching Brace.
It was very sexy to watch him in a different mode of what he does normally.
You've done an awesome job.
Did I get 'em all? You're not too tired, are you? I Kind Kind of.
Yeah.
A lot of being a gigolo is really trying to figure out what my clients really need.
One thing about Billie is this: She just wants what we all want, which is companionship and love.
And I think she's into a man's man.
She likes a guy that's not afraid to get dirty.
Get up on here.
All right.
Ride me like the little cowgirl that you are, Billie.
You like that? I'm very happy.
Brace made me feel comfortable.
He fulfilled every expectation that I had.
Oh, yeah.
And I would definitely do it again.
I've got something that's very interesting.
What have you got, Brace? I'm one to always, you know, notice the new artist you know, whether they're actors, comedians, singers, or whatever and I discovered an artist in this new field of, uh, singing, and I think it's something that everybody should hear.
Who's the artist? Yeah, just tell me what you think of this What's the artist's name? It's an artist that's converting - Kind of country.
- No matter where you're from No matter what you've been through - You might be from Hong Kong - Hong Kong, baby! - Hong - Is that Nick singing? - Nah.
- Sure.
There's a little country in me - A little country in you - In you It is.
I'm not usually speechless.
I can sure bail hay I can saddle up a horse - Listen to that.
- And drink a keg on my birthday There's a little country in me And a little country in you - Hey! - Hey! I think before Nick goes too far in his country music career, I think, uh I think he needs to go back home and hang out with some of my people first.
Get that accent down a little bit better.
Yeah, I rapped the chorus, but I sang, uh, all the verses.
- You rapped the chorus? - You rapped the chorus? I don't know.
Nick, I think you should go country, man.
I definitely feel the rap a little more, but Nah, it was fun.
Fuck it.
Nick Hawk is doing country music now.
I mean, shit, maybe he's got a career in gospel.
But you've done you've done rap, and now you're transitioning into country.
What's next? I think Nepalese throat singing should be the I was thinking about that.
That's exactly what just ran through my mind.
Let's get some beer and shit tonight.
- Yah-hoo! - Good job, Nick.
Everybody's got a little country in 'em
I'm very proud to be called a gigolo.
There's nobody out there more competitive than me.

You can just go You can kind of just go And then I'll do a I'll do a stop.
- So, it'll be - Put on my boots - Put - Put on my - Put - Put on Put, put, put - Put - A little higher.
There you go.
I'm getting the singing down.
I got the strumming down.
Now, it's putting those two together.
That's That's the tricky part.
That's where I need To be honest, I wasn't sure how our first meeting would go.
I knew he was a very intelligent and talented guy.
A little country in me A little country in you It definitely wouldn't have come out as good without him.
A little country in me A little country in you Yah-hoo! Why don't you come down here more often? Because the weather's never like this.
Warming up.
So, are you ready for this? It's been four years.
It's been a long time.
Well, hold on.
I need to warm my arm up first.
- Oh, man.
Feels good, though.
- It does.
My name's Forrest, and, uh, I'm Vin's brother.
I, uh I currently live in Chicago, and I'm a professor of sociology.
I spend my time kind of questioning why it is that America doesn't accept, uh, people that are different.
And, I mean, I think that that my brother's profession kind of falls squarely into that.
I'm in Vegas, really, just to catch up with with Vin.
Uh, we both lived together in L.
A.
, and we don't get to see each other very much anymore.
You know, I haven't even gotten a chance to go back and play back in Cali, man.
- But you know what? - What? What's wild is, you're really not missing anything.
When we were living together, uh, in L.
A.
, we both ended up playing in tournaments.
We'd try to play as partners as often as we could, but we'd wind up almost in fights on the sand just because we're so competitive with each other as brothers, and then we wouldn't talk for weeks at a time.
- I could've done that forever, man.
- Yeah.
Just, like, work a software gig, play volleyball in the morning, tournaments on the weekends.
Right? I gue I mean, - for me, it was like I could do that - Or? And not take the next step in my career.
Fair.
I guess that's sort of the same thing for me.
There was always this running competition of of who was better, but in the end, it drove us both to excel at everything that we did, because we constantly sort of had this other person as a benchmark.
And at the end of the day, now especially that we're so close, I think it was all for the best.
- You don't miss the tournaments, though? - Oh, God.
- Uh, you know what I do miss.
- What? You showing up in a velour suit.
- Hey! Swag! - Totally, dude! Swear to God, on the beach in a velour, like, FUBU suit.
That's swag.
I found out my brother was a gigolo on a on a random phone call.
And he's always been incredibly good with women, and so, it wasn't too much of a surprise that that he had found a way to to make a profession out of that.
That's swag, dawg.
It's It's like a It's like a bunch of white dudes in sandals and board shorts, and you've got, like, a velour suit and a gold chain.
Gold chain You know it's the best, though.
That's how I do it.
A lot of people don't realize that he's he's probably one of the most kind of caring, genuine, loyal folks out there, and he's he's really an amazing guy.
- One more round? - Sure.
I'll set you, if you want.
Okay.
That's how you bounce 'em.
But, God, I'm out of breath.
- Isn't that weird? - Ohh! I used to be able to do this for two hours.
I had no idea what was gonna happen with this song, but it went so well that Justin decided to, uh, bring in a full band.
Hell, yeah.
Whole band's here.
Oh, he's here.
- Look who's here.
- Hi, man.
Nick.
- Yeah.
Steve.
Nice to meet you.
- What's up, man? - How you doing? - Good.
Okay.
My man! He made it.
This is my favorite, right here.
The country twangy thing.
What's up, man? I've been playing with these guys for years, and they also are all part of other bands as well.
We're ready to roll when you are, man.
Ready to rock and roll, huh? All right, boys.
Let's do this.
One, two, one.
No matter where you're from No matter what you've been through You might be from Hong Kong You might be from Peru A little country in me A little country in you I can milk them cows I can sure bail hay I can saddle up a horse And drink a keg on my birthday There's a little country in me And a little country in you Hey! It was challenging for him to sing this song, and I tried to help him.
But, I mean, he's a rapper.
He's used to speaking the parts.
Beggin' for forgiveness Can I get a "yee-haw," "hallelujah" Country in me A little country in you - Ow! - Good job, guys.
- Owww! - Nice.
Well, how you doing? Well, hi.
My name is Billie, and I'm 48, and I moved to Vegas a couple years ago.
- Can I get you something to drink? - Oh, yeah.
For sure.
I'd love a little bit of, uh, tequila.
- Do you Do you carry tequila? - Of course I do.
- Okay.
That's my drink.
- Yes.
Have a seat, and I'll be right back.
Okay.
It sounds great.
I hired Brace 'cause I'm needy.
I'm a single woman out in the desert.
And Brace is perfect.
He's confident.
What do you got, whiskey for yourself? Thank you.
- Yeah.
I am a whiskey girl.
- Appreciate that.
Yeah? I like his personality.
He's funny.
He's into his body and and taking care of himself.
So, where are you from there? I live here.
I moved her a few years ago.
Yeah? From where? I moved here from Oregon.
And what's up in Oregon? Not much anymore.
"Anymore"? No.
Just Why, did something leave? What left? Yeah.
Mom and Dad.
Oh, really? Okay.
Yeah.
Mom and Dad aren't there no more, so I kind of got a nice little inheritance from them.
Well, that's nice.
So, um, I bought this house, and I live here alone, and I'm just really overwhelmed trying to keep up with it all.
I wanted to hire a gigolo because of the fantasy of having the perfect man take care of me.
Now that I have you here for a few hours, I got a honey-do list for you.
- Oh, that's my list? - Yes.
- Oh.
Oh, wow.
- I made it for you.
- So, this is what you want me to do? - Well Yes.
I'm just overwhelmed, so I'll just let you go at it.
- I see you've got "dust blinds" - Yes.
"leaves out of the pool, plumbing leak under the sink.
" All right.
I can do that.
Yeah.
I needed some housework done.
I really did.
And I like having a guy around.
So, instead of hiring a handyman and a housekeeper, I have the best of both worlds today.
Okay.
So, periodically, I'll probably come down here, take a little swig of this.
If you need a drink, just let me know.
Just make yourself at home.
- Git 'er goin'.
- Git 'er goin'.
I'll get, uh, whatever I need to get, and I'll, uh, you know, just evaluate the job and make sure that, uh, I can get it done for you at the proper time.
I got lots of tools too.
I am a very handy guy.
I'm very smart.
I can build things, fix things, whatever.
I'm gonna put this bad boy on.
Well, sweet! I was a skilled tradesman at General Motors, so, really, I could build a house, I can build this, I can build that.
How's this contraption work? But I decided to become a gigolo so I wouldn't have to do that shit anymore.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Gettin' somewhere.
Do I wanna do this list for Billie? Not really.
But I will because I'm a professional.
Goddamn it.
- You need help? - No.
- I'll figure it out.
- Okay.
You just do whatever you you're doing over there and, uh, I'll deal with this.
This mechanical nightmare.
Jesus Christ.
Probably be thirsty for another one in a minute here.
Someone hires a gigolo because of the fantasy of having the perfect man, the body.
And it turns me on.
Don't forget to get in between every one of them.
Okay.
I'll get 'em.
You got lots of chores to do.
- I do? - Yes.
Maybe I should've drank some coffee so I could get jacked up for this.
I need you to sweep the bottom of the pool and get the leaves out.
The bottom of the pool.
I'm thinking to myself, "Cleaning a pool? That's a joke.
" I have my own pool.
I used to clean my neighbor's pool when we were young.
How bad could it be? Fuckin' nasty swamp pool.
Man, this thing is nasty.
Wonder when the last time she had this fucking thing done.
Cleaning the pool is like, uh, cleaning something that's never been cleaned before.
Christ, I wouldn't swim in this goddamn swamp water for nothing.
And I'm, like, thinking to myself, "Oh, do you actually swim in this damn thing?" It's murky.
It's green.
Ugh! What is that? It's like seaweed.
There's shit swimming down I saw a few shadows down there.
I thought there was a great white or a big catfish down there.
It's a maintenance nightmare.
Get out of there.
I could just picture her swimming in there, like, thinking it's all like, oh, Shangri-La, and we're swimming together, and I'm holding 'em, like Oh, shit.
No.
I think that could turn into a health hazard.
What a mess.
What do you think, fish? Can I get it for you? Okay.
I thought I was here to lay pipe instead of actually laying pipe.
There's nothing better than watching a man work.
Okay.
Can You got a nice plumber's crack.
Oh, did I get one? Do I got one? All right.
Well, I think I got your leak fixed here.
Perfect.
Now you can fix my plumbing.
Oh, God.
I was really enjoying the scenery and watching Brace.
It was very sexy to watch him in a different mode of what he does normally.
You've done an awesome job.
Did I get 'em all? You're not too tired, are you? I Kind Kind of.
Yeah.
A lot of being a gigolo is really trying to figure out what my clients really need.
One thing about Billie is this: She just wants what we all want, which is companionship and love.
And I think she's into a man's man.
She likes a guy that's not afraid to get dirty.
Get up on here.
All right.
Ride me like the little cowgirl that you are, Billie.
You like that? I'm very happy.
Brace made me feel comfortable.
He fulfilled every expectation that I had.
Oh, yeah.
And I would definitely do it again.
I've got something that's very interesting.
What have you got, Brace? I'm one to always, you know, notice the new artist you know, whether they're actors, comedians, singers, or whatever and I discovered an artist in this new field of, uh, singing, and I think it's something that everybody should hear.
Who's the artist? Yeah, just tell me what you think of this What's the artist's name? It's an artist that's converting - Kind of country.
- No matter where you're from No matter what you've been through - You might be from Hong Kong - Hong Kong, baby! - Hong - Is that Nick singing? - Nah.
- Sure.
There's a little country in me - A little country in you - In you It is.
I'm not usually speechless.
I can sure bail hay I can saddle up a horse - Listen to that.
- And drink a keg on my birthday There's a little country in me And a little country in you - Hey! - Hey! I think before Nick goes too far in his country music career, I think, uh I think he needs to go back home and hang out with some of my people first.
Get that accent down a little bit better.
Yeah, I rapped the chorus, but I sang, uh, all the verses.
- You rapped the chorus? - You rapped the chorus? I don't know.
Nick, I think you should go country, man.
I definitely feel the rap a little more, but Nah, it was fun.
Fuck it.
Nick Hawk is doing country music now.
I mean, shit, maybe he's got a career in gospel.
But you've done you've done rap, and now you're transitioning into country.
What's next? I think Nepalese throat singing should be the I was thinking about that.
That's exactly what just ran through my mind.
Let's get some beer and shit tonight.
- Yah-hoo! - Good job, Nick.
Everybody's got a little country in 'em
