Our latest bonus episode dives headfirst into the riotous lives of Stephen, Jimmy, Brace, and the gang as we dissect episodes five and six with a dash of humor and a pinch of reality. Chuckle along as we dissect the relationship status of Jimmy and new girlfriend Kelly (it's apparently just mid) and explore the complex and often untold stories of male escorts, revealing how media and different generations have shaped our perspectives on this ancient profession.
During this episode, we get to see our favorite Gigolo (and yours), Vin Armani, take on a salsa competition with his new client, and we are exposed to the spiritual labyrinth that is Brace's life. These unique and contrasting outlooks paint the perfect picture of just how dynamic these companions can be, and why their work is so important. Plus, we talk more about how we're convinced the women in the show are industry plants and how much we have come to love Brace's quirky rants.
Join us as we pull back the curtain on the sometimes chaotic, often hilarious, and always intriguing realm of 'Gigolos'. We'll share a laugh over Nick's digestive woes and fear of butt-related activities and muse over whether we, too, should get colonics as a form of self-care. So, tune in, laugh, and perhaps watch S1 of Gigolos alongside us (currently streaming on Paramount Plus).

Welcome to High Low Brow. The show with high brow takes on low brow culture. I'm your one host, Amanda Scriber, and I'm your co-host River. Gilbert, and we are in our third bonus episode of Jiggle-O, number three number three, number three. It's weird to think that this is the third week of January.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like it's not the third week of January and I'm like, oh no, but for everybody else it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2:Time is a flat circle.
Speaker 1:Time is a flat circle and also it's 2024. And everything is crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Crazy, Wow. Anyways, if you have stuck with us on this journey, we are rewatching season one of Jiggle-O's as I have been dubbing it on social media the Showtime Classic. Is it a Showtime Classic? I mean.
Speaker 2:It is for us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, I mean, it's whatever you want it to be. It's a Showtime Classic for us. Yes, therefore, it should be a Showtime Classic for everyone.
Speaker 2:Yes, we are on episodes five and six. Five and six.
Speaker 1:It seems to have picked up these two episodes.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1:It felt like episodes three and four were like throwaway episodes. Episodes five and six are like they found their stride.
Speaker 2:We started caring about people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, should we just get into it? Let's get into it. Ok, cool. Where do you want to start? I want to start from the beginning because that's a good place to start.
Speaker 2:I love that. So the guys are at the gym.
Speaker 1:They are at the gym and it's very funny because the first thing that Stephen says is that he hates the gym, and I felt that.
Speaker 2:I'm like that's the only real thing I've ever heard this man say.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know, when he was like I hate the gym, it's not for me, and I was like are we best friends?
Speaker 2:Because I mean I would rather do literally anything than go to the gym. It's like, yeah, dude that's fair. Yeah, jimmy, humping the punching bag that was because I think it was like Nick and Brace having a conversation and him just running in and like hugging the like, flying through the air, wrapping his legs around the punching bag, knocking it over and then humping it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's like this reminds me of your quintessential teenager.
Speaker 2:He's such a fuckboy. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:I think it's funny that you remember Jimmy as being the Mr Peanut Butter type.
Speaker 2:To be fair, Mr Peanut Butter is not a good person.
Speaker 1:No or a good dog. No, however, I would not describe Jimmy as a Mr Peanut Butter type.
Speaker 2:He's a himbo For sure. Yeah, I could see that. Maybe that's what I meant. Maybe I just meant he's a himbo.
Speaker 1:Maybe I don't know. I don't know what you were thinking.
Speaker 2:I don't know man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so the other is sticking on that, jimmy vein if you will. We get to see Jimmy and Kelly as a girlfriend.
Speaker 2:Kelly, Kelly's his girlfriend. We get to see them again. Then you get to see them having sex on camera again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, that's not what we wanted, right? No, you didn't ask for that.
Speaker 2:No, I did not ask for that. Oh, ok Well. I mean, we get it, we get it, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, and I wrote down.
Speaker 1:imagine your boyfriend describes your relationship as decent on a reality television show.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Well go ahead. I had Jimmy has the weirdest, grossest monologue where he's just like girls can really have hangups and they can say they're cool with something and they're totally not cool with it. And it's like, yeah, people can have hangups Jimmy, people period can have to hangups Jimmy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like people are a lot. People are complex individuals.
Speaker 2:People's hard, people's hard. People's hard Life.
Speaker 1:Life life hard, people hard, Life hard, people hard.
Speaker 2:Nick hard, nick is hard, nick is always hard, life is hard. Life is hard.
Speaker 1:Life is hard but like I just sat there and I was like first of all, you and this woman, kelly. Kelly, if you're out there, we hope you are well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, please call in. We'd love to talk to you.
Speaker 1:But like, imagine if you're this woman and like you're having sex with this man Maybe Kelly is an industry plant, we have no idea but like you're having sex with this man, apparently you are in a relationship with him, and then he's like, yeah, it's decent, it's decent, it's like, well, I would hope.
Speaker 2:It's better than being bad. Yeah, it's like one level up, I mean OK, on a scale from one to five, it's a three, it's decent, it's mid. Yeah, five being strongly bad, one being strongly good and three being decent. Yeah, I'm like wow, girl, words mean things. Yeah, words mean things. So we go to Brace's house.
Speaker 1:Yeah, brace's house, and we've seen. This is not the first time that we've seen Brace's house, I think it is.
Speaker 2:Is it? I think so.
Speaker 1:I thought they went there.
Speaker 2:Oh yes, with a nutritious. Yeah, they went there showing the.
Speaker 1:PowerPoint so no. No you're right. I think this is even then, during it was episode two or three, when they were doing the whole PowerPoint, I was like ooh, brace made a PowerPoint Start a life, yeah. But then they even made a comment about all the religious artifacts in Brace's house and in this episode I was like there's so many religious. I don't. He's very I don't know if he is religious or if he's just like. These bring a certain energy to my house. He describes himself as spiritual.
Speaker 2:OK, there we go, yeah. Yeah, there's also a lot of like Buddhist iconography and like statues and like it feels like he went into like a new age shop and was like yes, yeah, it's also feels like you know, when white people buy things not knowing what it means. They just think it kind of looks cool. Yeah, yeah, I sure do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it felt. It feels like that because I believe in one of our last episodes we also talked, or maybe we thought it, who knows, but Brace seems like the type of guy who voted for Trump.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we certainly said that we were. If we asked him where he was on January 6th, he would not give us a straight answer. Yeah, yeah, no, he's he's a complicated character Like one moment he's describing a woman as having a little Asian in her and the next moment he's calling the guys out for being racist towards Vin. Yeah, like this is a complex man. Yeah, please choose a lane. We find out that Brace is lonely. Yeah, and he's got a lot of hangups about sex work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he has a lot of hangups about sex work.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and like we saw that partly in like he talked about, like you know, being getting older, but he also has talked about, like you know, she's got cock breath and it's like, oh so you're not sex positive, no, you're just.
Speaker 1:Do you think and this is just a question that I have do you think that has something to do with his age and the time that he grew up in? And you know how, how we, as like Brace is a boomer but like, let's say, there I think, Brace is Gen X, do you? Think like an older Gen X.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would put him at like now a day back then, probably in his mid to late 40s.
Speaker 1:Okay, but like Vin is probably like a millennial 100%. Yeah, so like there's differences in how people experience life. Yeah, not trying to give excuses for how Brace is.
Speaker 2:I did have the same similar thought where it was like, yeah, he. I mean, we grew up in the 90s, we remember when people would call each other gay as an insult.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and like Use the F word.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the hard F, yeah yeah. But like nowadays, like last back at a conference that I was at pre pre everything, the transition and pandemic apparent. The stat I heard was over half of Gen Z identifies as not straight.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:So it's like. It's one of those things where it's like, oh, attitudes are shifting. We have terminology to talk about things. Now, yeah, and things that are new aren't necessarily scary when it comes to sexuality for a lot of people, totally.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I do think that, like a lot of Brace's, hangups with sex work do stem from the time you grew up in. Yeah, 100%, but, like all of the guys have hangups with sex work with the maybe no, I was going to say with the exception of Nick.
Speaker 1:But no, I was going to say Vin is probably the only one who seems the most chill.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh God, yeah, absolutely. Vin is like you stand you stand.
Speaker 1:Yeah Woo, there's moments here Next episode.
Speaker 2:He does get into some trouble, but we're like eh.
Speaker 1:But it's interesting because during this episode, vin actually had a very good monologue, if you will, where he was talking about. You know, part of the dating, the companionship of being an escort, is that nothing sexual has to happen. And if it does happen, great. But if it doesn't like it doesn't have to, it doesn't have to, and he gets hired to actually be someone's dance companion. Yeah, for a salsa competition.
Speaker 2:Which is wild, like it's. I was like what was her name? Was it Maria?
Speaker 1:I think, so I didn't actually write her name down, I did, I think. But while you look that up, you know this woman hired her or sorry, hired Vin to sort of like train with her. I didn't write her name down, ok, well, hired Vin to train with her. Hired Vin to sort of like go to the competition. So that's like I was thinking about this because we've talked about this before. It's like for three hours it's $500, we said Two hours it's $550. Yeah, OK, so like she clearly paid.
Speaker 2:At least $1650. Yeah, Because they showed two practice sessions and they showed the competition. So yeah, and like that was her big thing was like I want to dance, but my partners keep flaking on me. Yeah, and this is like a great way to make sure that somebody doesn't flake on you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I love the fact that Vin was so like. This is what she wants to do. I'm going to make sure that we win. And he took it seriously, yeah.
Speaker 2:I have written in my notes about her. Lol, she's so horny Because she, like she, missed, she lost track of the count because she touched his arm and was like it's so muscular.
Speaker 1:Well, before all of this was happening. I don't know if you remember this, but I wrote down because I think it was while they were having that photo shoot happen well, which we can go back to yeah, we'll talk about photo shoots. But Nick said that wow, vin should know how to dance because he's black and Mexican. And I was like that's, it's the racism for me.
Speaker 2:Like Nick. What the hell? 2011 was not that long ago.
Speaker 1:It was not, but I think it's. It's interesting because this is such a real depiction of like white privilege and also how white people are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, period Period yeah, no, it was. It was a tough one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, should we talk about the photo shoot?
Speaker 2:Yes, that was next. They I have. They want to get photos taken for the website to get everything updated. Yep, I have written down. Brace is so awkward. How does it get work?
Speaker 1:Literally, I think, like every episode where we have seen Brace out on it like a date, we have been like this is an industry plan.
Speaker 2:This is a plan. I can't think of a single time where he's been with someone, where I haven't been, like she's not, they're not planned.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like where is the other guys when they've been out with people and like this seems somewhat legit.
Speaker 2:This could be legit. Yeah, there, there there was like a huh then but like Brace no. No, empathically no.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and maybe they just like had Brace on the show for character. They were like we need an old guy yeah.
Speaker 2:Like not to be agist, I mean like, and Chancellor, he does still work.
Speaker 1:I mean we could Google and find out.
Speaker 2:but oh, I meant while filming the show. Oh yeah, yeah, so Brace was awkward. Vin apparently hates photos. I also have written down wow, wow, nick is racist.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Nick is racist.
Speaker 2:She wants the boyfriend experiences. I think Brice said that about Vin's dancing.
Speaker 1:Yes. And I was like oh, yeah for sure Like okay, but are we still talking about the photo shoot? Yes, we need to talk about Steven.
Speaker 2:I was going to say I get weird vibes from Jimmy, not like Steven but off but Steven wears a suit and then gets into the pool in the suit.
Speaker 1:And then like does a hair flip, but not? Yeah.
Speaker 2:And we were just.
Speaker 1:the guys were like, wow, he's got the best shots, and it's like I mean, like I'm going to be honest, if I saw those photos on like an escort website, I would not. I would not be going for that man.
Speaker 2:I well, I wouldn't either, but for different reasons.
Speaker 1:But like I would probably and I think I said this in the last episode too I would probably go for Jimmy, but it's the crazy behind the eyes for me.
Speaker 2:That gets you. You're like oh yeah. I like it when men have a bit of crazy in them. Yeah, I was like it's a bin bin. For me it's that dog. I call it having that dog in me, and that dog is bin. So we're back at the condo with Jimmy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we are.
Speaker 2:And he gets a call from a regular who is married. I believe her title is housewife.
Speaker 1:I mean, it doesn't matter, she's paying him $350 an hour, $550 an hour, oh no.
Speaker 2:No, you're right, because she gets the break, because she's a regular, yeah, and they have sex in a limo.
Speaker 1:Yeah, here's the thing that I do like about Jimmy's character arc. They always and he does have a monologue about this they always show him using a condom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he does. Like that is, I assume all of the guys do. One would assume I mean when things like unless they're snipped, I wouldn't assume anything.
Speaker 1:I know because if you're buying, the experience you might have like who knows? It does depend, Like I, but he makes it like they show very explicitly in every scene that he's in that he's.
Speaker 1:He pulls out a condom, puts it on he puts it on and he also has a monologue about how, how important it is to use condoms because of, because of the, you know, stds and HIV and all the things which I think to be fair in sex work. In this, like, no matter who you are, even if you're not doing sex work, using condoms, using these, these types of, is so important and I think people forget that sometimes.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm just, I'm also thinking like there was a sex worker I used to follow on TikTok and she, her thing, was like I do glory holes, like that's what I do, that's my profession, I am a glory hole person. And people were like do you use condoms? Because you see you like only thing that you've had today to eat was common chicken nuggets. And she was like I can't, because if I insist that guys wear condoms, they'll go elsewhere and I need to make rent. And I'm like, wow, that is a. That's an interesting conundrum for and I'm wondering if that's exclusive to glory hole work or blow job work versus.
Speaker 2:Yeah anyway um tangent Race. Is that church?
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's, he's a. He's a man who has no idea what he wants to he doesn't know anything about business.
Speaker 2:He doesn't know anything about nutraceuticals. He's apparently done 17 years of martial arts, but he certainly doesn't know what it's like going to confessional.
Speaker 1:I just loved when he's talking to this priest and shares that he's a male escort and the priest's face is like confessed to the priest and the priest is uncomfortable. Yeah, the priest is just like girl.
Speaker 2:I don't know what to say here. Normally people are like I cheated on my wife not I'm the guy that they cheat on, that their wife's cheat on with.
Speaker 1:Yeah, his soul left his body.
Speaker 2:Yeah but yeah, brace is feeling a lot of guilt about sex work period.
Speaker 1:Yeah, someone needs to get Brace a hug. It's not me.
Speaker 2:No, it's not us but it is like he does need to get some shit in order.
Speaker 1:It's almost like men need therapists.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was thinking this is Brace's midlife crisis.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, it could be. It could be his midlife crisis, or it could be that Brace needs a therapist. Yeah, both.
Speaker 2:Both Usually one feeds into the other. I have here as a comment yo Brace's frosted tips, because I think I just realized that Brace had frosted tips and he kind of looks. Do you know who he looks like? Who? He looks like a cross between Donald Trump and Diven's Drivers and Dives Guy Fieri.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but Donald Trump.
Speaker 2:I do not, he's so orange. Oh yeah, he's so orange Sam and Jerky, yeah, yeah. He's so orange.
Speaker 1:Girl, look how fucking orange he looks, oh my God. Well, I think the funny thing about this is that because Brace is a feeling so sad, so lonely, so lost, having so many feelings, he does what any person would go and do and goes sees a sex worker. Yeah yeah. Yeah, and not just a sex worker that he's friends with.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so he describes it as like a fuck buddy. Yes, which is, like I mean, I guess, kind of a good thing to have if you're in the industry.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think people who work in the industry will and again, I've never worked in the industry, so I am speaking like I know things and I know nothing. But from people that I know who have worked in the industry, they will typically have like a circle of friends that I keep around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so that they can sort of talk like talk about those things, because normies like Ami or the rest of the world don't understand those things.
Speaker 2:For sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's like we can listen, but there's some things that we just don't get.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're like cool, so sorry, that's happening yeah.
Speaker 2:Austin. Austin seemed like she had like her shit together.
Speaker 1:She seemed around the same age as Brace.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I thought she may have been a little older.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she also had blonde hair also.
Speaker 2:Heavily tanned, lots of work done. Yeah, she was like Brace, but in woman form yeah, less problematic Brace, hopefully in woman form.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, we had no idea she didn't get a lot of screen time. She did not, but they, they fought.
Speaker 2:They did?
Speaker 1:They talked for like five minutes and then they fucked.
Speaker 2:I have in my notes, lol. I feel out of balance as he's fucking her because it keeps cutting between them having sex and him saying about how guilty he's feeling and he's like I just know when, spiritually, I'm out of balance. And I'm out of balance and it cuts back and he's like oh fuck. And it was wonderful.
Speaker 1:Well, maybe that's the take the racism for this.
Speaker 2:The break yeah.
Speaker 1:That when you're feeling out of balance, you just need to fuck yeah, because I mean, I think that's. That's something we should all take away.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, something we skipped over. Yes, jimmy gets a call from Kelly.
Speaker 1:Yes, we did skip over this.
Speaker 2:And she's breaking up with him. She is breaking up with him Because she apparently has hang-ups about the sex work.
Speaker 1:Like you know, the thing that this episode kind of was about how working in escorting sex work, everything the normal, how you may try to have normal things in your life and then it doesn't quite.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like it was a very introspective episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like where everything else is kind of like well, what other people think about sex work? This one was like what did these people think about sex work?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I know that in my notes about this. How did I say Jimmy got very angry yeah he sure did.
Speaker 2:I have the quote, but you keep going.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I put that. He said that the negatives don't outweigh the positives and that to me it just seemed like that hurt was coming from a lonely place.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, he also said I really wanted to change her so she could be satisfied with the emotional monogamy, not the physical monogamy. And I was like girl saying right after you broke up, I wanted to change her. That's like girl, you, that was the wrong relationship.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and also like you shouldn't get into a relationship wanting to change anybody. That's it.
Speaker 2:Like that's what I mean.
Speaker 1:Like if you are in a relationship and you grow together or you change together. Naturally, that's one thing.
Speaker 2:Alternatively, if you're like, hey, you do this one thing and it kind of drives me nuts, can we work on that? Because we've had those conversations, of course, but like, yes, if you're going into it, being like this is I think this is a character flaw and I hope they just kind of change that's probably not a good basis of relationship.
Speaker 1:No, it's probably the opposite of that. Yeah, yeah, like so, kelly, again, if you're listening, please call in.
Speaker 2:Let us know how your relationship with Jimmy was.
Speaker 1:And also we're sure that you probably dodged a bullet.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we have to talk with the conclusion of the dance competition.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we do. Do you want to start?
Speaker 2:Well, it starts with them entering and we saw a man with the deepest V of all time, the deepest V the deepest V it was 2011. It was 2011.
Speaker 1:And honestly again, I've only watched one dancing competition show on hey you, which was kind of like the same setup as this, and they actually did pretty well.
Speaker 2:They seemed to have Like they weren't awkward. They were making eye contact. They seemed to be having fun.
Speaker 1:They took third. I thought they did second, third, oh okay, anyways, third is not bad, yeah, especially when you think about they had two practices that we know of, and then the actual competition.
Speaker 2:And then it was like I did a little bit of salsa, but don't say that I'm experienced.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then they fucked, then they fucked. So, like you know, it was a win-win for everyone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she was like I'm going to get my money's worth.
Speaker 1:Who's your cheek loopy episode? I think we're going to have to give it to Vin 100% Because, like I have Vin for being a pro, yeah. Vin is the man he won Well, not won, he came in third in the competition, but he won her hearts. He won her hearts. And also, vin has to put up with all the guys faces and like he's so chill with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's more chill than like. I feel like I would have been in his situation Totally. Do you have any bracisms?
Speaker 1:I thought I talked about the bracism.
Speaker 2:Was that the the? I feel out of balance as he's fucking her situation. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean like, what else is there to give?
Speaker 2:Well, that's what I had. He was so tender, he wasn't really giving wisdom.
Speaker 1:No, he was just like I'm bracing, I'm in my feelings, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I think it was that?
Speaker 1:I think it was. When you're not feeling balanced, you just got to fuck, yeah. So that's that's what I'm giving Unbalanced. Fuck it out. Thank you, bryce. So it's six, yeah, episode six Okay, so.
Speaker 2:We start off at the pepper mill.
Speaker 1:We start off, we always start off.
Speaker 2:We start off, always start off at the pepper.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I was reading my notes and I was like I just I don't know what this refers to, but I have saying someone who doesn't want black is crazy. They need to stop shit talking, their clients.
Speaker 2:I mean obviously they're talking about Vin, because Vin likely has had an issue.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2:Just fucking wild dude yeah. But Vin, vin, I have in my notes. Vin really values his relationship with the guys.
Speaker 1:He does.
Speaker 2:Like, despite despite their racism, despite, like their problematicness, he values their friendship.
Speaker 1:I've also forgot to Uh huh, Speaking of people who don't value their friendship with the guys. It's Steven's birthday.
Speaker 2:Fucking hell. So Steven freaks out that nobody remembers his birthday.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like fair, but also.
Speaker 2:And Vin gets defensive. He's like what do you mean? It's your birthday. Why are you being so pissed? I didn't know it was your birthday. Did you know it was his birthday? Everyone's like yeah, so again, Vin has done no wrong, yeah.
Speaker 1:Vin's like bro, how am I supposed to know what I don't know?
Speaker 2:I'd like so Steven leaves because he's a pissy baby? Yeah, and he they are. Like we have to do something for him.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So yeah, we, we get to meet Jimmy's date.
Speaker 1:Yeah, who's like this business woman?
Speaker 2:Allegedly.
Speaker 1:Allegedly yeah, that see, it did not seem real.
Speaker 2:Well, did you see where the secretary was positioned? Yes, because it was a room that was, I kid you not, six feet by six feet and a desk and her.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And she had a door in the back and it's like this is a rental place and not a real space. And she's like we're a prefab company. It's like you're not, but thanks for playing yeah.
Speaker 1:And like they had a camera set up in the room where the secretary was that was recording all of her. It was like in what world.
Speaker 2:It was just like no, this is not real.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm like I can't feel the fantasy when, like, the fantasy is not real.
Speaker 2:And like also, I don't care if you're an exact like. If you have like a camera proof that you've been having sex like, unless you're the owner of the company, then you are gonna get fired.
Speaker 1:Also, the blinds were up, it was like no, this is no. Yeah, and they had like a person walk by and it was like in what words?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like a person walked by who didn't even stop and stare and I was like no this is not real and like they were like, oh yeah, public sex.
Speaker 2:And yeah, ooh, yeah, I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody loves public sex, but no, this isn't real.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is like, and public sex too, like I have had public sex have you.
Speaker 2:We've all had public sex. You're like okay, Emma, Obviously we've had public sex.
Speaker 1:You're not the only one. But like that was not real and that's not in public, it's in an office.
Speaker 2:Quota of words. In an office is public enough.
Speaker 1:If it's.
Speaker 2:I would rather have sex in public than in a place that I worked.
Speaker 1:Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2:Which I have also done.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and not only that. She's like whoa, we're going to have sex in here, and then proceeds to be the loudest ever.
Speaker 2:She's like gotta keep it down and goes ah.
Speaker 1:I'm like what? No, yeah Like.
Speaker 2:So Jimmy Leib's secretary is very unimpressed, yeah, which gave a little more believability.
Speaker 1:Sure or great acting job title of the title no no. And then they show the guys that Brace decides to take Steven to a gun range and in my head all I can think of is that Wayne's World.
Speaker 2:I don't own a gun, let alone enough guns to necessitate a rack. What am I going to do with a gun rack?
Speaker 1:Yeah, Because Steven just is like why are we here? Yeah?
Speaker 2:I have Steven super critical, calls it goofy and says he'll go with it. He is not happy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm like OK. So why would you go to a gun range when someone has never expressed interest in doing that?
Speaker 2:OK, in defense of the gun range. Mind you, it's America, so maybe it is a little more common place than I think it is. I just think it's like, hey, we're going to go do this weird experience that you probably have never done. I'm thinking back to Vanderpump, where they did the digging with the US.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I'm like have I ever talked about going digging with big trucks? No, Do I want to do that? No, not really. But if somebody was like we're going to do this, I would be like, oh my god, this is the best day of my life and maybe that's the same kind of thing. They're going with the gun range. I don't know, we find out. Nick is a marksman.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, because he was in the Air Force, air Force.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And he started up.
Speaker 2:He murdered that target. That's the only believable thing where he's like yeah, like I'm a marksman, Like I qualify for that. So, yeah, I was like oh, I believe that. Yeah, I believe that too.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, we saw it. Yeah, exactly so like I wouldn't want to. If let's say, remember that weird couple from like. Was it episode two or episode?
Speaker 2:Episode three with the one guy who was like going to murder. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:If it was between them and Nick, like that husband and Nick.
Speaker 2:Nick would win.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 100%.
Speaker 2:I mean Nick had probably 20 pounds on him and was in the army.
Speaker 1:Yeah, now granted that man might have been in the mafia.
Speaker 2:We don't know, but the soundtrack certainly implied.
Speaker 1:But what I'm saying is Nick could definitely just pull out a gun and be like nah, yeah, anyways, that's where I'm going with that.
Speaker 2:After a gun range to go gogkarding.
Speaker 1:And Stephen hates that too.
Speaker 2:Stephen is not having fun. Like I have it in my notes, he sucks.
Speaker 1:I say, stephen hates everything.
Speaker 2:His quote was you're trying to make it up to me. I'm over it, Please stop. But he's not over it.
Speaker 1:No, he's not. And then he has some monologue about how birthdays are so important to him yeah. Because, like, when he was growing up, he wasn't loved or some bullshit. Sure, they're just like my man. I have no sympathy for you at all. Yeah, like they are trying, they're doing their best. They're not smart people. Yeah, like the fact that they've done two things means that they're doing their best. Yeah, like, just take the L.
Speaker 2:So they finish gogkarding.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And they hand out their times and Stephen's like well, I won, and everyone's like no, your time, you law you came in fourth. Yeah, and he's like well, I came in first, so whatever, and then leaves. Yeah, it's like are you a real person?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then what comes out? Because Nick was trying, Nick was actually being super competitive and it turns out that Jimmy actually wins and Nick is very upset about that, but Nick is upset about it because he actually wanted to win, exactly Unlike Stephen, who was just like it's my birthday.
Speaker 2:It's my birthday. I'm a winner.
Speaker 1:I'm the birthday boy, I win. Yeah, basically. Then we find out that Nick has always wanted to be a rapper.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, he happened to have my notes, nick rapper, and then immediately followed oh no, he's not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I put. Nick thinks he's a diverse rapper. He's something, he's something. The fact that Jimmy and Nick are jamming together on their couch is like.
Speaker 2:Well, the way Jimmy made it sound was Jimmy was playing guitar and Nick just started cave in and started rapping over him and he was like all right, I mean, I guess that's all good, jam sessions start right.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's how fish happened.
Speaker 1:That's where Nick gets his best feats. Yeah, he's going to take Jimmy into the studio to lay down some beats.
Speaker 2:Oh my god.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but speaking of bromance, we're going to talk about Brace and Nick getting a colonic together.
Speaker 2:This episode is so all over the place. Yeah, we find that Nick has tummy troubles and I'm like this is the most related to Nick I've ever felt in my life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he is very much not a relatable character whatsoever.
Speaker 2:But he got tummy troubles and I'm like, yeah, so do I. I don't know how that be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he comes to the place to get the colonic and he's so deeply distressed he's like thinking it's some gay shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Nick is scared of touching his butt. They were like you have to lube up yourself. And he's like, can't you do it? And they're like, no, of course not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, doesn't he have to, like stick the thing in his butt?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think they might stick it in for him, but he has to lube it up himself, got it?
Speaker 1:The entire time.
Speaker 2:He's just like screaming braces, loving life yeah.
Speaker 1:Braces at the most like zen.
Speaker 2:This is the spiritual side coming through, yeah.
Speaker 1:He's just like. I love it when, when I get shit sucked out of my body. I remember as we were watching the scene, I was like would you get a colonic?
Speaker 2:And I was like, I don't think so. I feel like you have a bidet, and I know colonics go deeper yeah.
Speaker 1:And like-.
Speaker 2:This is why I'm like I can't believe you wouldn't get a colonic so here's the thing like it hasn't happened, like with a bidet, but like when I have had to like douche in the past. I've gone too far and it ruins my nights.
Speaker 1:Like it's a bad night, so yeah, I mean, if you had a professional do it-.
Speaker 2:Maybe I just didn't like how it felt on my tummy. Okay, maybe, maybe it would fix my tummy forever.
Speaker 1:So you, you are more in the Nick category than the brace.
Speaker 2:Well, no, I have obviously had things in my butt. I wiped my ass. Amanda, I don't trust that Nick ever washes his butthole.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true. I think that's what we said after-. Yeah, we were like. Nick has never washed his ass. Period the end.
Speaker 2:I have in my notes. They should have taken Steven for his birthday. That would have been the cherry on top Unreal, yeah, and I also have. Nick is wearing handcuffed bracelets.
Speaker 1:I didn't even notice that, yeah.
Speaker 2:He apparently broke out of jail. But yeah, he finishes it and he does not enjoy himself.
Speaker 1:No, but then that's not even where the episode ends.
Speaker 2:No, there's more.
Speaker 1:There's more. So the final thing that the guys do for Steven's birthday is Jimmy lets one of his regular clients take Steven out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they refer him. I'm guessing they probably paid for it and everything. I'm just like, hey, do you want to fuck this guy? He's really into old ladies.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And here's where it gets weird, though, while they're talking about it and they were like this is where I was like Vin, you're not the jiggle of the week. He's like, okay, what we should do is, while he's fucking her, they'll hit the lights and then I'll switch out and it'll be me. I'm like you're talking about sexually harassing your coworker.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like that's big yikes dude. I don't love that, but they all think it's hilarious.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was like oh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, did not, did not like it.
Speaker 1:Did not like that. Tell us about Ciara.
Speaker 2:Is that the woman? Yeah.
Speaker 1:She was an older woman and she seems lovely. From what I can remember, steven was into it.
Speaker 2:Do you remember what her work title was?
Speaker 1:No Divorce, oh fancy and yeah, I just seem to remember that they sort of were doing their thing and then the guys snuck in. Am I missing any?
Speaker 2:Well, okay, One thing that I don't know if you missed or blocked it out because you're like River's going to bring this up she had a womb tattoo. I did not. She had a womb tattoo. It wasn't like the newer tribal heart kind of deal that they have nowadays, it was like a flower situation. I was like we're going to talk about this on the podcast.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't even notice and I'm so happy that I did not.
Speaker 2:Emma hates womb tattoos.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're not for me, Not for Emma. Yeah, but yes, the guys they sneak in and then they have Steven fuck a cake.
Speaker 2:It doesn't show up.
Speaker 1:Maybe he was supposed to climb.
Speaker 2:I was like I think either Nick is having tummy troubles or maybe he was like I don't feel comfortable with this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 2:So, but no, they don't make him fuck the cake, Steve says. Steven says I'm not a big fan of cake, I'm just like you, sir, don't like anything. But he fucks the cake but then, like the, the Kuros, like you, just stick your dick in that. I bet you'd feel good and I'm like that. She'll feel like a yeast infection, I don't know. Yeah, who's your jiggler of the episode? Not Steven, I had no one. Yeah, I said literally none of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they were all pretty terrible.
Speaker 2:Terrible.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't have any braces. I don't either, but he was so zen getting his colonic. Yeah, I know I think it's just get a colonic twice a year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, get a colonic. That's why.
Speaker 2:I'm like you need to get one. Apparently, I'll get one if you get one.
Speaker 1:Maybe we need to do it together. Couple's day, couple's day. That's the episode. Oh, three quarters. Tell the people where they can find us.
Speaker 2:You can find us pretty much everywhere at High Low Brow, that's H-I-G-H Low Brow Pod. You can find us at highlowbrowpodcom. You can leave us a message. You can find old episodes If you feel like it. There's like three seasons of back catalog. I'm not in them, but Emma is, and they're more professional.
Speaker 1:These are still professional.
Speaker 2:We go off the rails immediately.
