Key Discussion Points & Insights

Setting the Scene: Midland, West Texas

• Backdrop: Host Jonathan Walton introduces Midland, Texas with its oil booms, busts, and unique character—including a detour through the 1987 Baby Jessica well rescue, which involved local oil workers (03:16–04:23).
  • “Driving through Midland, Texas is a unique experience... constructed in the 1950s, 60s and 70s during a series of West Texas oil booms.” — Walton (02:35)
  • “...oil field workers like Mickey who suddenly show up to help and drill down into the bedrock to create a rescue tunnel...” — Walton (04:23)

Life in the Oilfields

• Danger and Pace: Mickey describes the perilous lifestyle of a fracker: grueling hours, high risk, constant vigilance, and minimal sleep (05:13–08:56).
  • “It's a dangerous job and you kind of have to stay on your feet and eyes wide open, head swiveling, always know the dangers around you...” — Mickey (05:31)
  • Oilfield camaraderie comes with aggression: “You can't yell at people in the real world. You can't throw stuff at people in the real world... But it’s oilfield life.” — Mickey (06:45)
• Fatalities: There are heatstroke deaths ("he just fell dead on the spot") and tragic accidents. Mickey has witnessed a few (07:54–08:56).

Oilfield Money: The Upside

• The oilfield pays extraordinarily well:
  • “It's like a $9,000 check [for the week].” — Mickey (09:18)
  • “You can live like a king out there.” — Mickey (09:41)

Mickey’s Accidental Foray into Sex Work

• First Encounter:
  • After a routine handyman call, a wealthy housewife propositions and pays Mickey $200 for sex rather than the repair (02:00–02:09, recap at 10:17).
    • “She gives me $200 for nothing other than the time we spent on the floor naked because I didn't do any work.” — Mickey (02:00)
  • Neither discusses money upfront; the amount becomes the standard fee for subsequent encounters.
• Quick Spread of Reputation:
  • Word travels among local housewives, turning Mickey into a local legend (“8 1/2 inch Coca Cola can”, referring to girth) (02:09–02:22).
    • “Before long, Mickey and his 8 1/2 inch Coca Cola can are literally mugging it up for the cameras.” — Walton (02:09)

Discovery of Sexting and “Coke Can” Fame

• Sexting Rookie: Mickey wasn’t aware of sexting until well into adulthood and after his divorce (11:13–11:39).
  • “I had never exchanged naked pictures... I was completely, you know, oblivious to, to, to that whole thing.” — Mickey (11:16 and 11:39)
• Infamous Dick Pic: On request, Mickey uses a Coke can for scale, leading to his local fame (13:39–14:08).
  • “The one that most likely, you know, configured to the thickness and the girth was a Coke can. You can barely see the outline of the Coke can behind my —” — Mickey (14:08)

Clients and Encounters: The Routine

• Second Client, ‘Kathy’:
  • “Kathy” invites Mickey under the pretense of hard-to-reach spots in her kitchen; she answers the door scantily clad, and sex ensues (15:48–17:06).
  • Notable moment: “I reach down, I start squeezing her ass.” — Mickey (17:08); “She starts sucking away... going on an hour.” — Mickey (17:38–18:41)
  • Afterwards, she hands him $200 cash, having never discussed payment beforehand (19:54–20:20).
• Payment Ritual:
  • All clients seem to know to pay $200—Walton and the interviewer speculate this is spread word-of-mouth:
  • “If you're not asking for money, how do they all give you the same amount? Unless someone gave them a heads up like, hey, it's 200 bucks.” — Interviewer (21:15)
• Client Count and ‘Success Rate’:
  • 75% of calls for handyman work turn into sex; Mickey estimates he’s lost count, but it is at least hundreds of women (26:48–28:09).
    • “75%.” — Mickey (26:48); “Is it hundreds? — Yes.” (28:09)
• Repeat Business and Discretion:
  • Mickey doesn't call clients; it’s always up to them to reach out, preserving their discretion and avoiding jealous husbands (25:26–26:01).

Video Requests and Sexual Acts

• Client Kinks:
  • About 10% of women request to be filmed during sex; Mickey obliges only upon request (28:24–28:40).
  • “I’ve sent thousands of dick pics... I need to see something to reference. Put a bottle behind it, put a soda behind it...” — Mickey (13:39)
• Oral Adventures:
  • Notably, some encounters last for hours: “I think the longest blow job I ever got was something like six hours.” — Mickey (21:38)
  • “You've been sucking on my for the last six hours. I have to call it.” — Mickey (21:46)
  • Anal/oral acts discussed openly; most women are initially hesitant but become enthusiastic (30:49–31:53).
    • “All you got to do is move that tongue a couple inches south and... Wow. Dude. All of a sudden, it’s on their top to do list after that.” — Mickey (31:50–31:53)
• Unique Requests (Preview for Next Episode):
  • Cliffhanger for next episode: a client wants to be punched in the head (“This woman wanted me to punch her in the head...”). — Mickey (32:18–32:22)
