Original subtitles

- Who's the most famous person you've ever fucked?

Was it an actor, a politician?

Or maybe he was a priest.

The priciest suite in the place.

Maybe Chayce finally came through.

Did he hire two of us?

- What?

No, come inside.

- That'll cost extra.

So you're really not a second escort?

- So you don't recognize me?

- Sorry, who are you?

It's the kind of trick every hustler dreams about.

And most of them lie about, a celebrity.

- Larry Shippers, your gay best friend

and 5 million subs to this week.

Of course, a YouTuber.

The biggest type of celebrity Chayce could think of.

- Nice to meet you.

- Call me X.

As stealth as Chayce was, I figured you'd be

a closeted actor.

- I'm the opposite of closeted.

I post anything and everything about my life

and people tune in to watch.

We develop a relationship, sort of like a virtual

best friend or boyfriend.

- Providing a boyfriend experience

is something that we share in common.

It used to be when a celebrity called a person like me,

he was a closet case.

This is a first for me.

- I just wanna build a roster of 10 to 12 clients

and leave it at that.

- You don't know the first thing about hustling, do you?

- Excuse me?

- Look, I know you're annoyed

that I'm not finding you better stuff,

but you have to help too.

You're literally nobody in this town.

- Actually, I'm figuratively nobody in this town.

Now that I think about, doesn't sound that much better.

- I'm serious, you need better branding, my friend.

- Branding?

Why would I wanna brand myself

when the whole point of doing something illegal

is to keep a low profile?

- It's low profile, not no profile.

It's like pizza.

You need to have a brand.

Nobody ever says let's get pizza, I don't care what kind.

- It does wonders for your confidence

when a kid who is better at what you do

than you are compares you to pizza.

- See, this is my only fan's profile, 200 subscribers.

My Instagram, 30,000 followers.

I just post underwear pics

and these random guys message me.

One of my junior high teachers messaged me.

Look, Andy Cohen wanted to know, "Sup?"

- So you advertise your toppings?

- No, I'm creating a persona.

If guys know who you are, they want a slice.

Guys are willing to pay more for a slightly less hot guy

if they have a fantasy built up around you.

What social media do you do?

Facebook?

- Nothing, I do anti-social media.

- Then we gotta get you on Rent Me.

We say you're 26.

No face pic until you tan some more.

We hype you up as Seattle's most in-demand top.

New to LA, and we ask for premium rates.

The more stupid expensive you are

the more the serious clients want you.

- I'd always avoided public stuff like Rent Me.

I'm not a fame whore.

Just a whore whore.

Those underwear are very specific.

Yeah, they were free.

I, I don't even post underwear pics

but they keep sending 'em.

So, don't worry, they come off.

- Either way, I can work around them.

- The hotel's free too.

As long as I make a post about that.

- Sounds like you get a lot of things for free.

You do realize that I'm not.

- Don't worry, I could definitely afford to pay you.

- From all the YouTube ads?

- Listen, it's cool you don't understand what I do.

I mean, you're not exactly my target demo.

Most of my followers are teenage girls and gay boys.

And a few creepers.

A few, a few million creepers.

- So you could have anybody.

Why me?

Why not Chayce?

- Chayce didn't tell you?

I'm, I'm into older guys.

- Older?

- You're young for me.

I usually like guys that are older than 45.

- He told you I was 45?

He probably thinks I was at Stonewall.

So all the secrecy is because you don't want

everybody out there in the world to know

that you're into creepers.

I think that's what you called us.

- It's just everything's so public these days.

Everything I do gets posted to D-Listed or Vicious Gossip.

When I'm shirtless, it's everywhere

with thousands of comments

about every square inch of my body.

I just, I just want something to be private for a change.

My parents are just now coming around to me being gay.

And that was a long road.

I just think them seeing me with someone

literally my dad's age, I don't know,

I just need a beat before we get there.

So you are a closeted actor after all.

- I mean, aren't all of us?

About something?

- Oh, hi.

Sorry, am I interrupting?

- No, hi.

- He's just a friend and he's just leaving.

- Okay, I'm Andrew.

- I'm Chayce, with a y.

As in, why don't you join us?

- Is he for real?

- Pizza box, twink with his legs spread,

are you shooting porn?

- We are not shooting porn!

- Although we should talk about this X.

Again, branding.

And I'm not a twink.

I'm just young.

- Who is this person?

- I'm his pimp.

Let me know if you wanna work.

I could totally book you solid.

- Okay, this is worse than walking in on sex.

Let let me know next time you have this toddler over.

- Ooh, she's a bad witch.

- You know I have to live with that person, right?

- Who cares?

I don't.

- Negative, Prep, or undetectable?

Do you bottom often?

- Those are all good questions.

I'm negative.

I'm on Prep.

And I always wear a condom.

And I don't bottom a lot.

Actually ever, outside of my last relationship.

- Well, I told Chayce I'm more of a top.

- Oh, well, tops don't say they're more of a top.

- I don't think it's my thing.

- Trust me, it's your thing.

I have bottom-dar.

- I just, I don't see myself that way.

- That's homophobic bull.

And if we're doing it right,

you won't see yourself at all.

- I mean, I'm not totally against the idea.

But you can't tell anyone.

- Being worried about people finding out

that you're a bottom, that is just another closet.

- Okay.

- Upload in progress.

You know I made a shit-ton of money without ever

taking out a single ad.

- Stop thinking of this as an ad.

This is foreplay.

- It's not very intimate.

- Not yet.

Take off your clothes.

- I'm flattered, but. - Right.

No, we're gonna take some pictures.

- For the internet?

- Is there any other reason to take pictures?

- He's not so much a pimp as a pimple.

Strategically-lit profile pics

isn't exactly how I see myself.

- Yeah, well nobody really sees you as anything right now.

Look, people used to be all about mysterious anonymous sex

with random cowboys they'd never see again.

They thought it was hot.

But times have changed.

It wasn't just the gays who came out of the closet.

The whole world did.

Everyone shows everybody everything.

The best version of what you want is just a click away.

So why fuck someone anonymous

when you can fuck someone famous?

You don't have to pay some homeless drug addict

to suck you off when you can just log on

and order a goddamn porn star.

Now take off that ugly shirt and let's take some pictures.

- But sometimes I fucking love this kid.

Yes, sir.

- Is that hair on your back?

- That was.

Daddy.

Okay, maybe I'm starting to like being called daddy.

Or maybe I'm just learning to turn the other cheek.

Here, I'll show you how easy it is

to be a YouTube star, just talk, it's not that hard.

- Hi.

Call me X.

- Okay, maybe that is harder than I thought.

Well, I learned a lot from you anyways.

- Maybe next semester, I'll fist you.

- I'll call Chayce next time I'm in town.

I have this fan event I'm doing,

and you're definitely my biggest backer.

Oh.

Take this.

Branding.

- If Andrew comes home, he'll flip out

when he realizes there's shaving cream

all over this stupid couch we've owned forever.

- Hold still.

You're not that hairy, but you do not show up on this date

I'm sending you on, ungroomed.

- I hope it's as exciting as the last one.

God, I never knew I could pee so much.

- Hey, you got paid to do what you have to do

every day anyway.

Plus that guy was an influencer, John.

He works at a studio and knows a lot of potential clients.

I'm building you up as an A-lister.

- I feel more like a P-lister

- Man, you never quit with the dad jokes.

You are gonna love this, John.

He'll be good for you.

I always got nervous when Chayce talked up a client.

The ones he said would be good for me

were usually chosen to teach me

some kind of lesson

that made sense in his warped little mind.

- Okay.

I texted you the address.

Be there by five.

Just go straight up to the room.

You are not allowed to be seen going in.

Got it?

- I think I got it, Mom.

Who is this client anyway?

- Let's just say this guy's gonna teach you

a little something about branding.

- As long as it's not the same kind of branding

they do to cows.

- I love you, Larry Shippers.

- Thanks, how long have you been in here?

- I won't say anything, I promise.

I just wanted a selfie for my profile.

My friend is gonna shit and die when she sees this.

- Hashtag goals.

- What do I do?

- Just do what you do best.

Be yourself.

- All right, let's do a selfie.

- What?

- Do you mind taking it?

Iconic.
