A second season of ‘Task’ should be a Tom prequel. I want the story of a priest who gives patients last rites & falls in love with a woman he works with, resulting in him leaving the priesthood to join the (checks notes) FBI. That’s a second season I would support.

I know there’s a lot going on this nice Sunday evening what with the rallies & football & General Trumpness happening but the ‘Task’ finale is tonight and I’m very excited. Second best show of the year (behind ‘The Pitt’) and some of the best performances on TV this year. Can’t wait for tonight.

So sorry for your loss but that was a nice write up. Sounds like he was a heck of a guy.

Listen, this is just another example of the woke left, the people who had nothing better to do on a Saturday then spend the day blocking city streets and causing problems for local law enforcement, not being able to take a joke. It’s sad really.

That’s one of the things about this whole shit show- they’re soft as shit and are the epitome of dish out but can’t take it.

I figured something would come out. Just how these things go now. But his response was perfect and resonated as well. Our past defines us, for better or worse. It’s part of us. And him saying that was refreshing to hear.

Graham Platner just shared an amazing response to the article that came out, highlighting past social media comments he made & everyone should check that out.
But they should check out this response too because it’s equally amazing.

I agree. There was a collective releasing of pent up energy both by the band and fans because of COVID that made summer and fall 2021 special.
