In Alabama a man said "Roll Tide" to me as a greeting. Later that same day, the same man said "Roll Tide" as a goodbye. I asked a woman at the store what it means. She said, "Roll Tide." I asked what it means. She said, "It means Roll Tide, sugar." So I began collecting evidence. I kept a list. I am not embarrassed about the list. I have now heard "Roll Tide" used as: hello. Goodbye. Thank you. I am sorry. Congratulations. That is unfortunate. I agree. I disagree. And once, in a hardware store, as a complete set of instructions for installing a ceiling fan. I heard it said at a funeral. It was appropriate. It was the most appropriate thing anyone said that day. I began using it. Carefully at first, the way a man handles a borrowed sword. I said it to a cashier. She said it back. I said it to a police officer who had stopped me for a broken taillight. He looked at me for a long moment. He looked at my face. He looked at my taillight. Then he said it back, and nodded once, and did not write the ticket. I wish to be extremely clear that I am not claiming those two events are related. I am also not claiming they are unrelated. A man at a gas station heard my accent and asked where I was from. I told him Japan. He said, "Roll Tide." He meant welcome. I knew he meant welcome. There was no ambiguity at all. I have been in Alabama eleven days. I have one word. It has been enough for everything. I have started saying it in other states. It does not work in other states. I said it in a warehouse store in Oregon. One man turned around. He was from Alabama. He said it back. We did not speak after that. We did not have to. I say it anyway.

Happy birthday to Sean Waltman Here’s some highlights of an awesome Superstars match vs Pat Tanaka

Holly got to meet Jacob Fatu, and honestly, he is hands down one of the nicest people we’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. Holly was looking over at him when Jacob spotted her and smiled, saying, “I’m coming over, little lady!” From that moment on, he made Holly feel so special. He spent time talking with her, joking around, laughing, and making her smile. Holly had made a bracelet especially for him, and when she gave it to him, he genuinely seemed really touched by Holly’s gift (you can see him wearing it in the pictures). His immediate reaction was, “I’ve gotta give you something.” Before we knew it, he was taking off the NFL cap he was wearing and giving it to Holly. Jenna and I both told him there was absolutely no need to do that, but he insisted that Holly have it. That simple act of kindness meant far more than he’ll probably ever know. That cap now has pride of place on Holly’s bedroom shelf. 🤩 I even joked with him, “Definitely don’t be giving Holly that!” while pointing at the awesome Werewolf pendant he wears. That gave all of us a good laugh together.🤣 The best part? Holly saw Jacob a few more times during our stay, and every single time he came over to speak with her again. He even asked Jenna and I, “Mom & Dad, you guys doing OK?” He didn’t have to, but he did. We’ve been HUGE fans of Jacob Fatu ever since we first saw him in WWE, but after meeting him, we can honestly say he’s not just an incredible performer, he’s a genuinely kind, humble soul who kept it 💯 with our wee Holly! 🤩 This is a moment that will stay with Holly and our wee family forever. We’ll never forget the kindness the Samoan Werewolf showed. 🐺 Daddy even got a picture with the man himself!😁 Thank you, Jacob Fatu!💙🩷 We feel truly blessed to have met you. You’re a great man and a real Champion! ❤️ YADADAMEAN… FAAAATUUUU!
