WEBVTT

00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:03.010
We\'re on an elliptical
together and you know

00:00:03.011 --> 00:00:06.000
start a conversation like
everyone does on the ellipitcal.

00:00:06.016 --> 00:00:08.999
What exactly do you do when you leave here?

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.014
We’re talking all this time
and you know everything I do

00:00:11.015 --> 00:00:15.017
and I still don\'t have a freaking
clue what it is that you do.

00:00:15.018 --> 00:00:17.005
He’s like, “I\'m a one man band.”

00:00:17.006 --> 00:00:18.009
I said, “Oh,

00:00:18.010 --> 00:00:20.018
so where do you play?

00:00:20.019 --> 00:00:22.001
He\'s like, “45th and Broadway.”

00:00:22.002 --> 00:00:25.003
So now I\'m thinking, OK it must be
like this little dive of a place

00:00:25.004 --> 00:00:28.003
because he\'s not telling me the
name of the place he works at.

00:00:28.004 --> 00:00:29.018
He\'s like, \"I\'m famous, people know me.\"

00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:32.011
And I\'m like, “Oh.”

00:00:36.009 --> 00:00:38.012
I grew-up in a small town.

00:00:38.013 --> 00:00:41.004
I was basically a notoriously bad kid.

00:00:41.005 --> 00:00:44.012
I was literally once arrested
for farting in a woman\'s face.

00:00:44.013 --> 00:00:47.000
I was constantly told what I couldn\'t do.

00:00:47.001 --> 00:00:49.002
No one ever told me that I could
do something with my life.

00:00:49.003 --> 00:00:51.013
So of course I just showed that I could.

00:00:51.014 --> 00:00:52.022
I had already been a stripper.

00:00:52.023 --> 00:00:54.017
Danced naked on a hundred
different bar tops

00:00:54.018 --> 00:00:56.001
across the country.

00:00:56.002 --> 00:00:59.011
Every thing short of being
just a full blown prostitute.

00:00:59.012 --> 00:01:00.020
You know what I mean?

00:01:00.021 --> 00:01:03.011
I went every single place
you could possibly go to be

00:01:03.012 --> 00:01:07.004
seen, filmed, videoed, you
know, the center of attention.

00:01:07.005 --> 00:01:08.013
I want to be a movie star or I’d

00:01:08.014 --> 00:01:09.018
wanna be President of the United States.

00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:11.004
Those are the coolest people.

00:01:11.005 --> 00:01:13.012
I wanted to be the most
beautiful thing in the world.

00:01:13.013 --> 00:01:14.019
Every man woman and child
would want to come up

00:01:14.020 --> 00:01:17.017
and lick my balls because
I was so freaking cool.

00:01:19.004 --> 00:01:23.001
I went from going nowhere... fast...

00:01:23.002 --> 00:01:24.020
to going anywhere I wanted to go.

00:01:24.021 --> 00:01:27.022
Alright, I gotta check this out for myself.

00:01:27.023 --> 00:01:29.021
I\'ve been friends with
him for a few months.

00:01:29.022 --> 00:01:31.999
He\'s Robert from the gym to me.

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.000
I got over there and I went, “Oh my god .”

00:01:47.008 --> 00:01:49.008
This guy is seriously like in

00:01:49.009 --> 00:01:50.007
his underwear.

00:01:50.008 --> 00:01:51.011
Oh my god this is ridiculous.

00:01:51.012 --> 00:01:53.000
I\'m like afraid. I can\'t even
go over there now because

00:01:53.001 --> 00:01:54.019
I can\'t keep a straight face.

00:01:54.020 --> 00:01:57.001
We get to the parking garage

00:01:57.002 --> 00:01:59.009
and he opens the hatchback of the truck

00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:01.017
and starts putting his clothes back on.

00:02:14.004 --> 00:02:15.001
He gets in, and all of a sudden

00:02:15.002 --> 00:02:17.004
we are having our normal conversation.

00:02:17.005 --> 00:02:19.015
I have to tell you honestly,
I like this Robert better

00:02:19.016 --> 00:02:20.023
than the one out there

00:02:20.024 --> 00:02:22.016
that’s just like too weird for me.

00:02:32.009 --> 00:02:35.001
I went out there to just to sing
and play guitar in my clothes.

00:02:35.002 --> 00:02:36.004
I was ignored

00:02:36.005 --> 00:02:38.001
and the photographer who
was shooting me for the

00:02:38.002 --> 00:02:38.022
naked magazine

00:02:38.023 --> 00:02:39.022
said “Why don\'t you play
in your underwear?”

00:02:39.023 --> 00:02:41.007
I thought it was the greatest
idea I\'d ever heard.

00:02:41.008 --> 00:02:42.999
So the next day I went out
and played in my underwear.

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.012
No brainer, why didn’t I
think of this before?

00:02:46.013 --> 00:02:49.018
First naked cowboy tour I get
in my car I go to Nashville,

00:02:49.019 --> 00:02:51.009
get arrested, make the news.

00:02:51.010 --> 00:02:53.006
I call all the newspapers.

00:02:53.007 --> 00:02:54.020
The news comes, they film it

00:02:54.021 --> 00:02:57.002
and I\'m in the next city an hour later.

00:02:57.003 --> 00:02:57.022
Page after

00:02:57.023 --> 00:02:58.016
page after

00:02:58.016 --> 00:02:59.009
page after

00:02:59.010 --> 00:03:02.015
page, about 40 something arrests.

00:03:02.016 --> 00:03:05.017
I think he’s adorable. We
feel like Sex in the City.

00:03:05.018 --> 00:03:09.012
I was like 40 thousand
dollars in credit card debt.

00:03:09.013 --> 00:03:12.010
I wasn’t making money. I never
even thought to ask for a dollar.

00:03:12.011 --> 00:03:13.003
He’s hot.

00:03:13.004 --> 00:03:14.015
A lady tried to put a five-dollar

00:03:14.016 --> 00:03:16.000
bill in my boot one time.

00:03:16.001 --> 00:03:16.013
He’s got a lot of muscles.

00:03:16.014 --> 00:03:17.022
After that five,

00:03:17.023 --> 00:03:19.016
every time they tried to give me a dollar,

00:03:19.017 --> 00:03:20.013
I said, “Ah just put it in the boot.”

00:03:20.014 --> 00:03:21.999
He’s got a nice butt.

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.018
After that it was like 600 bucks
to a thousand bucks a day.

00:03:24.019 --> 00:03:26.006
Except he’s not all the way naked.

00:03:27.008 --> 00:03:30.003
Maybe I’d like to see him completely naked.

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.014
So I literally went from massive
debt to completely out of debt

00:03:34.015 --> 00:03:36.017
and sending money to everybody I know.

00:03:37.021 --> 00:03:41.019
There is definitely a
huge difference between

00:03:41.020 --> 00:03:45.020
the Robert I met at the gym
and the one I started dating.

00:03:45.021 --> 00:03:48.018
It\'s becoming more of the cowboy

00:03:48.019 --> 00:03:50.002
and less of Robert.

00:03:50.003 --> 00:03:51.011
There was even a point when he tells me

00:03:51.012 --> 00:03:52.012
he\'s changing his name

00:03:52.013 --> 00:03:54.005
officially and I need to call him that.

00:03:54.006 --> 00:03:57.009
I\'m like, Bob, I\'m very sorry,
I\'m not calling you that.

00:03:59.001 --> 00:04:00.999
What I’m doing is creating a huge

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.016
advertising campaign for
the city of New York.

00:04:03.017 --> 00:04:05.009
The last two Popes together don’t have

00:04:05.010 --> 00:04:06.999
as many pictures as I do.

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.013
And now I’m the third
rated tourist attraction

00:04:08.014 --> 00:04:09.012
in the city of New York,

00:04:09.013 --> 00:04:11.021
after the Empire State building
and Statue of Liberty.

00:04:11.022 --> 00:04:13.016
Even grabbing asses is boring now.

00:04:13.017 --> 00:04:15.013
I mean I’ve been doing it all freaking day.

00:04:15.014 --> 00:04:16.010
Oh yeah – you’re hot –

00:04:16.011 --> 00:04:18.003
come on, let me squeeze
it and get out of here.

00:04:18.006 --> 00:04:19.006
It\'s a movement.

00:04:19.007 --> 00:04:20.014
And it\'s a word of mouth epidemic

00:04:20.015 --> 00:04:22.006
where a guy comes into a city,

00:04:22.007 --> 00:04:25.009
throwing naked brashly into advertising

00:04:25.010 --> 00:04:28.002
and now it\'s naked this, naked
that, naked everything.

00:04:28.003 --> 00:04:31.001
It\'s like a virus that\'s going
across the entire world.

00:04:31.002 --> 00:04:32.162
We’re in a world of branding.

00:04:33.002 --> 00:04:34.242
What can you make yourself into

00:04:35.012 --> 00:04:38.023
represent it, and then proliferate it.

00:04:38.024 --> 00:04:40.019
I’m not attached to you.
You’re my girlfriend.

00:04:41.006 --> 00:04:44.008
Um... I know he loves me.

00:04:44.009 --> 00:04:47.013
I do know a big part of that
is his ego and his image

00:04:47.014 --> 00:04:51.014
that he upholds but it doesn\'t
make it any easier to hear.

00:04:51.015 --> 00:04:54.008
When he does at the end of
the night finally sit down,

00:04:54.009 --> 00:04:56.002
he is a totally different person.

00:04:56.003 --> 00:04:59.004
It’s like he doesn’t have the
energy to put on the act anymore.

00:04:59.005 --> 00:05:02.005
He doesn’t want to think about all
his goals and everything else.

00:05:02.006 --> 00:05:03.009
He wants to just relax

00:05:03.010 --> 00:05:04.999
and now all of a sudden he’s a big baby

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.002
and he wants 100% attention from me

00:05:07.003 --> 00:05:09.015
and he wants to know why I
don\'t love him like I used to.

00:05:09.016 --> 00:05:11.999
The way you feel about
yourself and the way you

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.023
communicate to yourself about who you are -

00:05:13.024 --> 00:05:15.008
that\'s the kind of life
you\'re going to live.

00:05:15.016 --> 00:05:16.019
Who are you?

00:05:16.020 --> 00:05:17.010
Naked cowboy.

00:05:17.010 --> 00:05:18.003
What’s your religion?

00:05:18.003 --> 00:05:18.017
Naked cowboy.

00:05:18.018 --> 00:05:19.019
What’s your philosophy?

00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:21.021
Naked cowboy. You know what I mean?

00:05:21.022 --> 00:05:23.016
You know, it\'s freaking unbelievable.

00:05:23.017 --> 00:05:25.023
That I would be the
leader of the free world

00:05:25.024 --> 00:05:28.010
where I’m the free-est man in it.

00:05:28.011 --> 00:05:30.001
In the freest society,

00:05:30.002 --> 00:05:32.999
living without any inhibitions
or rules or regulations

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.004
and doing whatever the fuck I want

00:05:34.005 --> 00:05:36.001
regardless of what anybody else is doing.

00:05:36.002 --> 00:05:39.016
And a guy who doesn\'t
have a care in the world

00:05:39.017 --> 00:05:42.002
naked, just singing and playing the guitar

00:05:42.003 --> 00:05:44.007
in the heart of it all.

00:05:44.008 --> 00:05:46.021
People just conform and do
what everybody else does

00:05:46.022 --> 00:05:49.022
but your power is in your individuality.

00:05:49.023 --> 00:05:53.010
He desperately needs
attention, which is why he

00:05:53.011 --> 00:05:56.023
is good at what he does. It’s
why he’s become so successful.

00:05:56.024 --> 00:06:00.000
But not everybody\'s fame lasts forever,

00:06:00.001 --> 00:06:01.011
so when that\'s not there

00:06:01.012 --> 00:06:03.013
and you push away all the
people in your life,

00:06:03.014 --> 00:06:05.022
you know, then what?

00:06:05.023 --> 00:06:10.011
Like Emerson says, work like a
digger in the field all day long.

00:06:10.012 --> 00:06:12.011
That\'s how you get rich.
