I mentioned last week that at the conclusion of each episode, I would be providing lesser known reasons for attending the Power Athletes Symposium in Texas on Dec 7, 8, and 9th. This week I present Reason #308: seeing John in real life. Not because of his impressive athletic career or creation of CrossFit Football and Power Athlete…nobody cares about that. But just seeing his size in person. You’ll no longer have to stare at a picture of him, searching for objects near him that you’re familiar with just to provide some idea of scale. The real shocker, he is incredibly petite. But don’t take my word for it, go to powerathletehq.com/symposium to get your tickets. Go ahead and bring your own dollar bill for scale.

When @john started talking about kobe bison & kobe buffalo I had to use the Google machine out of pure curiosity to see if someone had actually crossbred and made a kobe beefalo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beefalo), but I was immediately distracted by this chunk of internet gold instead; https://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/02/kobe-buffalomeat-jimmy-kimmel-live-college-football
Now I’m also hungry and it’s not lunch time yet…damn.
