Naked Bob22m · Bob is invited to pose nude for a nude celebrity coffee table book. At first the idea of posing naked doesn't sound so good to him, but he decides to do it after Janet and Jeffrey say he has issues with his body. The problem arises when he finds out the photographer is french. Bob can't hear a woman speak french without getting 'excited', so he takes some tea Janet indicated to keep him down. When the photographer makes a move on him, he doesn't get excited because he's under the tea effects, so she thinks he's gay. To make things even better, she calls a bunch of built up men to pose with him, just as the tea loses its effect.▶4. Awards Bob22m · Bob is facing Warren Wellman, America's number 2 motivational speaker, for the Motie award.
