head of the table

i think a lot of people have wanted to see us run it back again, and like colby already said—this is probably going to be one of the last chances we have to do something together, so you know we're going to make it count.

sure can't. they've always been good to me—providing the good eating whenever we're close by, and even serving up a special "roman reigns roll" on the menu at one time. that still makes me laugh thinking about it. i always make an effort to stop by when we're in town, but it was a surprise when they reached out ahead of time. much appreciated tho.

also got to give a shout out to my uce @ucey--jucey for being quick to step in with that fan who got a little grab happy last night. goes to show you can always count on family to have your back.

much appreciated, uce! and don't even worry—you've been doing your thing, showing everyone what you can do on the indies and making waves practically the entire time. makes me happy to see.

yeah, things always get busy during tours like this. i'm only here for tv but i still remember how crazy it can get when you're working the full thing. it's great to see different places and the fans are always on a whole other level, but a lot of times it also means being on the go nonstop until you're able to get home again. i'm sure we can find some time to hang out and catch up on everything tho. unfortunately we're not getting any younger, but i think it's good that we know when to start toning things back. you've got plenty other ventures you can focus on, and that's a good thing.

that's for damn sure. there's never a dull moment when you're around. see? unlike a certain somebody, i do more than yap and i do back up the things i say. tho between me having more family out there and lizzie's connection to chicago, we do have more chances to make a detour when we're close by. like i said—i'm going to hold you to that. if i don't see you in tampa at some point before the summer's over, then you and me will have a real problem.

yeah, she always comes along when she can. luckily that's most of the time, since a lot of the stuff she does is over the weekends. haha, thanks a lot. i'm lucky to have her.

thanks, nikki! believe me, i think we're all missing you but i'm glad you're looking after yourself and focusing on getting better. any news on when you might be back? that's too kind, but we'll take you up it!

man, if you don't stop. 😂 it's a wonder you don't give yourself whiplash with how quickly you switch things up. nah... nah! i know you aren't rickrolling in the big '26! only you, jon. never change. you better—you know i always make an effort to come by if i can when we're near, so you better do the same when you find yourself near tampa. and don't even joke about that. if you're going to start talking about possible vacations then i'm going to hold you to it and expect to see your mug.

thanks, colbs! it's no problem—that's what happens when we're filming live tv, right? sometimes they have you running all over the place, so it's tough trying to work anything in between all the coming and going. chances are i'm going to be wrapping things up once this contract's over with, so got to make it count and enjoy being around while i can.

thanks, toni! still had to show up for work, but it was an easy night all things considered so it could've been worse. i'd say it was a pretty good birthday.

thanks, bron! i can't complain—didn't get laid out at work, and i got to spend time with some great people. not a bad way to spend the day at all.

if you want me to quit calling you scrappy, then stop acting like him. what else am i supposed to say when you're constantly looking for a fight? and now here we go with the old comments... i was wondering how long it would take. you're only a few months younger, so you're no spring chicken yourself. come on, we both know you wouldn't skip out on me. it was good to see you, and i hope we won't have to wait so long before the next time comes around.
