LOS ANGELES — Robby Echo has formally announced that he will be performing under the name “Robby Apples” going forward.
“I’ve been in the industry for 10 years now and so many people know me as the ‘Apple Man,’” he told XBIZ. “So I decided 2024 was the year to flip this turkey. There was a time I thought about saving ‘Apples’ for mainstream stuff and ‘Echo’ for porn, but it just seemed like too many names. I’m just one man!”
The XBIZ award-nominated performer credits colleagues Alison Rey and Kasey Warner for coming up with the pomme-rific moniker.
“Those rascals made a fake Twitter account years ago called ‘Robby Apples’ where they would post photos of me eating apples,” he explained.
The Robby Apples rebrand is also more in tune with his often zany public persona — he and fellow “Valley boy” Shawn Alff are notorious at industry events for skimpy coordinated outfits and psychedelic shenanigans — and with his personal commitment to a natural lifestyle.
“I’ve been a health-oriented person since my early 20s,” Apples said. “I had an ailment that forced me early on to make the connection between eating healthy and feeling better and happier. So when I started shooting porn, I knew immediately I was going to need some apples to get all this fucking done. Fucking requires a lot of energy and apples are a great complex carb, which means they will give you longer sustained energy than a simple carb. In my book, every carb should be complex just like the beautifully complex beings that we are.”
The quintessential fruits, Apples concluded, are “just like us.”
“Their mothers eat from the earth to create them and then we eat them, poop them back into the earth so that other apple mothers can continue eating from the earth to create more apples. We’re essentially the same. Remember, everyone: We are all in this together. The more healthy and happy you are, the more healthy-happy people we have to hang with.”
