I think the majority of his are unnamed maricultured that he gives weird names to. 😂 Unfortunately he lost all of his OG SBB Acros back a few years ago.

Did I ever tell you the story about when I was in WWII and I ate a German shorthair pointer covered in sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard? Never mind.
 
Good morning Tom! Enjoy your breakfast bagel sandwich.
Thanks I did. I still can't handle coffee though. When they mentioned side effects and possible complications they never mentioned the trouble with coffee or I'd have taken a hard pass on the whole thing.
