In 1993 I moved to Venice, California to pursue my competitive bodybuilding aspirations. In a matter of weeks I had landed a job at the front desk at Golds, Venice. I worked with the legend Kent Keuhn at the time. During my time working the front desk, we used to recieve many perverted phone calls from some sick muscle worshipping freaks. But the weirdest one of all was this........A guy with a heavy southern accent called the gym early one morning and asked me if Lee Priest trained there. I replied yes. He then asked me if Lee was looking lean or bulky these days. And if he was really short. I knew immediately what I was in store for. He then asked me if I was stronger than Lee Priest and if I was a big tall muscleman. I said that I wasnt stronger but that I was a big tall muscleman. I knew that I was in store for some good shit now.....Then he asks me if I would like to put Lee Priest over my shoulders and parade around the gym with him. He said that he would like to see a big guy like myself put Lee over my shoulders and crush his feet with my hands. And that he would like to see Lee naked and covered in Gold's Gym posing oil as this happens. He then proceeded to tell me that he would love to see me turn Lee into a Human Muscle Trophy. And that he would like to see the look on Lee's face. And the embarrassment on Lee's face as a big guy carried short Lee around as people laughed at him. And how Lee would cry. I was laughing my ass off as this guy spewed his shit. I motioned to my co worker to pick up the other line to listen.Afterword we laughed our ass off for days. This guy had some sick Lee Priest degradation fascination. So many stories from that time. But this one has stuck in my mind for 15 years. What a freak. But those were great days at Gold's,Venice the rest of the time.
