Hello, friend, and it is that time again. It’s time to transform Herth and home into a hellscape of landfill bound fripperies. It’s time to trade the quinoa, salads and avocado ice cream for mom’s deep fried mac and cheese balls stuffed with pizza rolls stuffed with a molten core of sugar soaked gummy worms.
Hmm, and perhaps most important. This is a time to offer Moonlet sacrifices of cured Grinch hides and spiced elf organs to the dimension hopping anti-d Luv demigod Santa Clause in his battalion of bionic beast. Dear Creatures, forged in the third epic of pre-history to do battle with the dead eyed Demonn, prince Krampus for the command of the multiverse.
Okay, I think that is getting to be pretty irrelevant. So moving on, what I really wanted to say, Is Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I hope you and yours are relishing many moments of joyous Mary Minton reveling in all of their pine scented butter lubed and tinsel laden glory, and what will next year bring?
Will the, I’m not a crook, I’m just an idiot. Defense, exonerates, scam. Bank run fraud and his owl faced polyamorous collaborator will the two weeks of transitory and mostly peaceful inflation. Finally. End or will we find ourselves spearing mutated acid hogs in the blasted ruins of toad suck Arkansas. Who could know?
Who can know? At any rate, my merry band of Micin men and women have laid wonderous plans for 2023 that will get you purring like a dog that ate a happy cat, including new and upgraded legion products. Insta by including an energy drink, protein cookie, pulse and recharge improvements, new ingredients are coming, apparel and more new flavors of existing Legion products to take a flyer on, including Rainbow Sherbet and Pina Colada.
Pulse Apple pie, coconut cream and frosted cereal, whey Plus Sour candy and Arctic Blast recharge, and more new sales channels and international shipping options for Legion with which I can better separate you from your coinage, including Amazon uk. That’s gonna be big for everyone in the. And in Europe, walmart.com and target.com.
And finally, lots of new content for you to graze on, including fourth editions of my books, bigger, leaner, stronger, and thinner. Leaner, stronger. New website tools over at Legion Athletics dot. Com blog articles, many, many blog articles planned for next year [email protected] as well. Many podcasts planned here on the most life podcast and more, and that’s really just the quick hose down.
Many more details to follow over at Legion Athletics dot. Com. That’s my primary online hub. Get on our email list if you want to know when all of these things and all of the other things that I have not told you about are dropping as the cool kids say, and also because this really cannot be said enough.
Thank you. Bless your. Cotton socks for your support. Really, if this were another era, I would build a temple to your glory. I would tear out my eyes with a ceremonial spoon and become your oracle prophecy, the doom of all who oppose you and sing hymns about your nascent godhood with my tongue mouth. Alas, this is the current year and all I can offer instead is my eternal gratitude.
Yes, my eternal. Gratitude as in my spectral service across the infinity of space and time. So I hope that’s enough, at least, to tickle the reptilian pleasure centers of your brain. And there’s one more thing actually, for the sake of Santa’s sacred nipples, don’t count calories today. Not on Christmas feast.
Drink hug your loved ones, Hakuna Mat. Well, I hope you liked this episode. I hope you found it helpful, and if you did subscribe to the show because it makes sure that you don’t miss new episodes.

Our “No Return Necessary” Money-Back Guarantee
If you don’t like something of ours, guess what happens next?
No, we don’t request you deliver it to a PO box in the Gobi Desert by carrier pigeon. Nor do we ask you to fill a cursed inkwell with orc’s blood and demon saliva and then use it to complete reams of return forms written in ancient Cyrillic script.
We just . . . wait for it . . . give you your money back. Holy moo cows. And that means you can say “yes” now and decide later.
Free Worldwide Shipping & Returns
Many companies use shipping and handling fees to increase their profit margins, but here at Legion, we hate profits, so our shipping is free!
Okay, so we do dig on profits, but we also go in for happy customers, and free shipping works like gangbusters. So, if you live in the United States, your order ships free regardless of order size, and if you live elsewhere, your order ships free when it’s over $199.
Why the restriction on international orders? Unfortunately, shipping abroad is very expensive, and if we didn’t require a minimum order size, we’d lose a lot of money. But! We’re also hustling to improve our international logistics and will be passing our savings along to our international customers.
Also, if you don’t absolutely love our stuff for whatever reason, we don’t request you deliver it to a PO box in the Gobi Desert by carrier pigeon.
We just . . . wait for it . . . give you your money back. No returns. No forms. No nonsense. Holy moo cows.
That means you can say “yes” now and decide later. You really have nothing to lose.
Clinically Effective Doses
Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.
That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.
Clinically Effective Doses
You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.
100% Natural Ingredients
“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.
That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.
Made in USA
If you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the USA.
That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities that operate in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.
Lab Tested
Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.
Naturally Sweetened & Flavored
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.
That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.
Science-Backed Ingredients
Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits. That’s why we only use choice ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.
No Chemical Junk
“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.
