Cause I could kinda use the money

[Aaron]

Rachel: How would you feel about taking out my assistant Tag? I’ll pay.
Joey: Huh, Rach I got to say it’s gonna take a lot of money for me to go out on a date with a dude.
Rachel: I’m not asking you to go on a date with him!
Joey: Really? ‘Cause I could kinda use the money.

What does Joey mean? Does he mean he can go on a date with a guy? I guess this conversation supposed to be very funny, but it isn't yet for me.

In other words,

Joey: Really? You don't want me to take him out? Because I will, if you pay me a lot of money. (Joey would date a man (i.e., do anything) if the price were right.)

Joey's so funny.
Thank you so much for your help every time.
