"Work Out" Recaps: Episode 3.6 "Get Nasty"

Tens of thousands of dollars are raised, but Brian, who's wasted, thinks the room is being cheap and starts yelling for everyone to give more. The lure of the spotlight proves to be too much and he slowly inches his way onto the stage until he's holding the mic, shouting at a stunned room.

Jackie's face freezes in a brittle smile as Brian proceeds to make a total jackhole of himself in front of all of Doug's friends and his former Sky Sport co-workers.

The next item up for bid is some Sunfare food and a Gold's gym gift card. The bidding stalls at $600, so Brian throws in a free week of training sessions with him. The room goes silent. Even the auctioneer lady is speechless.

After the winning bid comes in at $700, Jackie looks off to the side, shakes her head and rolls her eyes. It's a new kind of train wreck and even Jackie, who's ridden her share, is utterly mortified.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself — Afterward, Brian approaches Jackie and whispers that he wants to talk to her. Her spidey senses tingling, she takes him outside in case he makes a scene.

This is going to be good. Hold my calls.

Brian: Let me start.
Jackie: OK, go ahead.
Brian: You and I, we're like a triangle.

Oh yes, this is going to be most excellent.

Brian: You're this corner, I'm this corner. You put it together, ya know where we're going? We're going to the same point.
Jackie: Here's the deal. Brian, look. This isn't about our business things. It's about are you OK? Are you OK? Are you in a good place or are you not … that's it.

Brian: I'm not. I'm not. I'm not f---ing … ya know, everything comes down all at once, it's like …
Jackie: I know. It's always like that.
Brian: I don't want to be just a trainer. I honestly think you're a very smart businesswoman. I do. And I look up to you. And I want to learn a lot from you.

Jackie's face visibly hardens. She had heard from the others that Brian was going through the ringer and wanted to check on him. But the minute the ass-kissing started, she knew this was a mistake. You cannot bull s--- a bull s---ter.

Brian: Listen, I love you as a person. I'm telling you this right now, as an honest person. Look at me in my eyes. I'm telling you I love you. We don't get along on a lot of stuff, but I love you and I want to f---ing see you succeed. I want to see both of us succeed.
Jackie: I think you're a little buzzed, 'cause you don't usually speak like this.

Oh Brian, please pull over, I'm begging you.
