Let's toughen up brother.

It won't be a short or easy ride. But some are built to take on challenges better than others.

Ben is at the top of that list.

Any updates on Ben? Last I heard he was back in the hospital. Is he out now?

As a disc golfer myself, I found this pretty entertaining. DC needs some practice...

I also play a little disc golf, and it's funny seeing an amazing athlete completely baffled by the way most discs turn hard to the left. It's also amazing to see (not that I doubted their genuine friendship before) that guys like DC aren't just friends when they can have fun on podcasts or in good times, but that he took the time to fly out and visit Ben in his home. 

I really hope this doesn't come out wrong, but as far as the wrestling community is concerned, Ben is the best person that could go through such an arduous ordeal. Between his absolutely positive outlook on most aspects of life, his support from the wrestling, MMA, and even the disc golf community, and how beloved he is by all has been so apparent over the past 2+ months. 

I'm not sure how many of you know (I nerded out on disc golf for a bit), but Ben has custom discs from one of the sports biggest brands Discraft. He also has a course on his property and holds an annual pro-am tournament where several of the top disc golfers in the world take part. 

My father-in-law passed away suddenly two weeks ago today, and between that and following Ben's unexpected journey, it is truly a reminder that none of us know when our time will come. This video brought me a lot of joy seeing even a fragile version of Ben being his truest self. 

Sorry for being sentimental, but this video struck me.
