Fuckin' people...

[theroymccoy]

Was at the shop and just got off the phone with some creepy sounding guy with a New Yorker accent. He said he stopped by about a week ago and was "impressed" by me...mmmmkay that's cool...anyway...

He was inquiring if I did any personal training to which I replied not really but if he stopped by the store maybe I can help him out or point him in the right direction. Then, shit got weird...

He goes something like, "You know I was really impressed with you and your physique...would you be willing to you know...show off your stuff for a little bit extra money?"
Me: "Uhhh...no sorry man strictly personal training...I appreciate it though."
Nutjob: "Really? Because I'd pay really good money if you just strutted your stuff...I'm not gonna touch you or anything just you know, show off...would you be interested?"
Me: "No really I'm flattered man but I'm not interested...check craigslist..."
Nutjob: "Hmmmm well do you have any friends that may be interested?"
Me: "Craigslist is probably your best bet man I gotta close up pretty soon so, see ya..."
Nutjob: "Oh okay, thanks anyway stud."
Me: *hangs up*

fuckin' people...

This had to be a prank...if this ends up on Howard Stern's show or something...somebody let me know

[Macho Man]

Aww shit, you should have said you had a buddy that would be down, and then gotten ahold of Sammich. I bet that fucker would have paid big money to see the "Dino Bird Frog Squat" do his thing naked, now that he's hairless!

probally was sammich on the phone:sammich::sammich::sammich::sammich::sammich:

LOL I'm amazed that this was on the phone.... Youtube on the other hand it's like a daily occurrence for someone to ask for a show of some sort. There's a lot of pervs out there.

This made me laugh my ass off.

Welcome to the world of bodybuilding. If you haven't been hit on by someone asking if they can pay you for photos, wrestling, etc., you are one ugly son of a bitch. It is incredibly common amongst competitors.

Skip...I'm not even kidding I'm dead serious...but he said his name was Ken. TriIiIiIpPpPpYyYyY.

Yeah...I remember my uncle almost got conned into doing a photoshoot literally an hour before the night show at the USA's (or was it nationals?) in Vegas. The "agent" said he got his number from Steve Blechman and he'd get paid a few grand for the 30 minute shoot and it'll be on a bodybuilding website. So my uncles like, "let's do this shit, it's one of Blechman's guys, etc."

We show up in the seedy, industrial area of Vegas where it's just big white concrete buildings and no casinos or bars or even liquor stores. We go inside and it's like a antique car showroom...we walk towards the back and we see the photoshoot with 2 Harleys and lights and cameras set-up.

Tip-off #1: All the camera guys, lighting guys, were dudes...no girls to do make-up or girls to do wardrobe for a girl...hmmm that's weird...

Tip-off #2: Right when my uncle asked, "Okay so what's this website for again?" a huge white bodybuilder wearing nothing but a leather skull cap, leather short shorts, and military boots steps out of some room from the back.

Right then and there we bone the FUCK OUTTA THERE. I'm talking we didn't even react when we saw this leather-bound superheavyweight, we just saw him, looked at each other, and turned around and got outta there.

My uncle had a hunch and we took our own car to go to that place. Lucky for him, because they offered to give him a ride in a limo from his hotel to the place. They could've easily said, "fuck you guys, you didn't do the shoot" and left us stranded there and he would've missed the night show.

My uncle called the "agent" and cussed him out, we sped back to the hotel to get a few things, and laughed about this entire ordeal.

FUCKIN' PEOPLE, MAN.

Once had a guy hit on me when I was in the health food store buying cereal, usually you can just do the no thanks but this guy was insistant and I had my kids with me and it had to get a little nasty. The kids wanted to know who the guy was and I had to explain that he was asking for money to spend on alcohol and that's why I was saying no and getting loud.

Good thread

Fuckin' people alright.

[Godsmack]

This is definatly epic.......


Glad I don't have to deal with that shit.

Roy,

Contrats on your first schmoe!

FWIW...

If anyone does a Jon Lindsay Show in Cali, you'll see several photographers backstage taking shot all day long in the pump up room - hours and hours of footage. If you're in shape they will be ALL in your face. (This is different than at the national level shows where repetrope / USAMuscle is there taking pics and vid's. The mostly let you do your own thing when pumping up, but do ask for a few shots so yuo can get the free coupon for the show video. The photographers at the Cali show are a LOT more interactive and VERY friendly LOL They'll bath you in compliments until your ego fills the room...)

So, John Lindsay's site is www.muscleconte$t.com (substitute "s" for "$") which takes you to his lindsay productions site.

The site where YOUR PICS and VID's from pumping up at the Cali shows will end up is www.conte$tmuscle.com (again substitute "s" for "$").

Check it out if you're interested...

I was a tad upset to find this out b/c this is a paying site and they use the images and vid. of competitors without their knowledge. (I might have technically been told this at some point, but as brain dead as you get on show day... I simply presumed the video was a vid. of the show I could find if I searched it out. I generally don't bother too much about that.)

I found this out (Fade LOL ) from a comment on a vid I put up on youtube from a "fan" who was asking me about vid he saw on the above site. Apparently they put ALL The footage up. I'm guessin' its a super spank bank over there... LOL

So, just a heads up for Cali competitors.

agreed, i have heard of this many times. I have a couple of gay friends, one is muscular he said other gays hve asked him to do this and offered big money. He also said some are willing to pay 500 dollars for muscular straight guys to "show off their stuff," for a half hour.

Definitely part of being muscular.

[Quadriceps]

LOL, reminds me of this video. I think there are many competitors too lazy to get a real job and do gay4pay instead.

You have his number? I could use the money...lol.

Yea man...what really tripped me out was how composed he was; like he's done this before. That's why I thought it had to be a prank...but I guess you have to be super bold to call up a stranger and offer to pay money to do that.

With your kids around? I mean hey, I'm all for doing whatever people want to do in the privacy of their bedrooms and all (I myself have a few gay friends and gay cousins) but that guy's an asshole.

Thanks for that, Scott.

He kept throwing out "admire" and "admirable" like 10 times within 2 minutes...suffice to say I was really uncomfortable.

Man, the more I talk the more I sound like a rape victim LOL...but whatever, it was an interesting situation that I thought you guys would get a kick out of.

Hahaha, funny you bring that up...he kept asking for my measurements "so do you know your chest and waist size? How much do you weigh? How tall are you?" :shocked:

You have his number? I could use the money...lol.

Private user...ANOTHER funny thing was that he asked for my number because he wanted "motivational texts" from me.

I was like "Nahhhhh...I'll give you my e-mail (store e-mail) instead." (Now that I think about it, this is when the weird convo really started)

This fucker's persistent!..."Really? Because texts are much easier and more convenient."

"Ummm...yeahhh...nooo...e-mail is better."

"Oh okay fine." *sounds dejected*
