R.I.P. to my best friend, Benjamin. I was incredibly lucky to basically have the ideal dog that the childhood boy in many of us dreams of (for 14 yrs, no less). Aside from being a literal super dog from smarts to athleticism, Ben was always there for me, even when I had no one.

Also, remember the alternate #UFc318 round robin I put out on my Stak/the @DogOrPassPod YouTube comments? Well that sucker just hit 3/5 legs with that Costa sub for roughly a 7.8 UNIT payout with 1 leg to go!!!!
