''This article is about the episode. For the occupation, see here.''

Plot
The episode starts with Muscle Man saying that it is the day that 5 years ago he started to work at the park and he is having a celebration at Fry it Up in honor of this accomplishment. However, everyone coincidentally has plans that same day (Mordecai and Rigby planning on hanging out with Margaret and Eileen, Skips, Pops, and Benson going lawn bowling, and High-Five Ghost going to see his brother Low-Five Ghost graduate from the police academy) so Muscle Man goes by himself to Fry it Up.

When Muscle Man is at Fry it Up, two agents from Mommy Monthly tell him that he could be a gut model for their magazine because he looks exactly like a pregnant woman. Muscle Man isn't sure at first, but then he remembers that everyone at the park didn't want to go to Fry it Up with him and was ignoring him, so he eventually takes the offer. The next day, Muscle Man tells all of the groundskeepers that he is quitting his job at the park to become a gut model. Surprised by this, Muscle Man sees that everyone is happy for him instead of begging for him not to leave.

Muscle Man then says to Filbert & Mulligan that he will take the job and he starts immediately after agreeing. However, Filbert & Mulligan do not like how Muscle Man is acting on the job by joking around and giving high fives. So they tell him to stop doing it. And they also say that Muscle Man should make himself known in the Gut Model industry by debuting at the park.

During the debut at the park, Muscle Man becomes frustrated at everyone being happy for him rather than being sorry for him leaving, and as a result he goes on a rampage. During that rampage, he accidentally forms the Grease Monster, which is a very destructive fry-greased monster. He was about to get attacked until he was saved by High Five Ghost by morphing into a shield. The reason why everybody was happy for him is because that they didn't want to get in the way of his new job life and Muscle Man said that he never wanted to be a gut model, he just wanted to hear that people needed him because they didn't go with him to Fry it Up. They all say that they do need him, even High-Five Ghost. Muscle Man sees the monster attack his friends so he leaves High Five's shield form and throws himself into the grease monster (afterwords he thinks he saved everyone but Mordecai explains he just gave them time to get to safety). Muscle Man then cannot take the gut model job due to his severe gut burns and therefore continues to work at the park.
