So I met this guy one day when I was at a grocery store in San Jose. Now this was a very nice guy so I'm not trying to talk bad about this fella, only going to explain some of the dumbshit he was trying to brag about. So I met this guy, we will call him David. I was walking around in Safeway snacking on some peanuts and I could see this guy admiring me in a no homo way. Right away I knew this guy was probably going to come up to me and say something, and he did. He comes up to me and he's like "hey man, blah blah blah, and he's like dude you got pretty big arms" I'm like " thanks man." He replies, " you ever measure them?!" And I'm like , " uh yeah." And he's like, " how big are they?!" I'm thinking wow this guy is really excited, so I tell him, " yeah they're like 17s." I really wanted this guy to calm down a little.
So David goes on to tell me that he makes very expensive custom swimming pools. He told me he once made a custom pool with a taj Mahal theme for a person in los altos hills that cost 2.2 million dollars. He also told me his best year in the business he made over 1.1million dollars. Now at this point I'm pretty fucking impressed, and he was talking about this shit like it was not even that impressive and its just the work he's been doing for 20 yrs.
Now here's where the topic of the conversation changed. David switches the conversation back to bodybuilding. He told me, " I used to be a bodybuilder." Now I'm looking at this guy, he was 46 years old, about 5'6" 210lbs, slightly stocky but pretty fat. This guy looked like he maybe touched weights a few times in his life. So he goes on to tell me was bodybuilding in the 80s and 90s, took steroids, the whole deal. But I'm still looking at this guy like wtf. He's like ," yeah I had a 365lb bench." So I'm trying to act like I'm at least somewhat impressed by this guys fitness stuff but I think he could sense I wasn't very impressed. So what he goes on to say next was ridiculous. At this point we are still just standing in the aisle at the store and I'm still eating these peanuts. He glances at my bag of peanuts and then looks up at me and says, " you know most people get fat from eating peanuts." So I'm thinking wtf, most fat people arent fat from eating peanuts lol. Also most people I know who have a problem dropping fat don't even eat peanuts lol. So then David goes on to say in the most bragging tone, "I can eat peanuts all day and not get fat. Back when I was bodybuilding I was eating 10,000 calories a day." So at this point I'm like wow this guys on some sunnyvale shit right now. I mean when did eating peanuts all day and not getting fat become impressive? Lol. Plus this guy was already fat too, lol. I honestly couldnt believe he said that and he was giving me this look like , " yeah, you're impressed now.." no I wasn't impressed lol, I was more confused and on the verge of laughing.
So it wasn't even clear if he was talking about present or past. The guy was clearly fat now, but even talking about in his bodybuilding days. I mean the guy told me he was running steroids and training regularly, and of course in that case eating peanuts all day should never make you fat lol, unless you're eating like 3lbs a day on top of everything else you fucking eat. So yeah I said ," that's cool man." And we ended the conversation, David walked off and gave me a friendly wave, I could tell the guy liked me but that whole peanut talk was just fucking stupid. I mean the guys pool business was impressive as fuck, but he wanted to brag about eating peanuts all day and supposedly not get fat lol.
So that's the story of David aka "Mr peanut" the bodybuilder. I never saw him after that, but who knows maybe ill run into him again one day.
