Welcome back for your finale helping of oysters, clams, and chicken coops presented by Bolin Media.

I am Ross Bolin here with Barrett Dudley to discuss and review the final episode of Task, episode 7 of Task on HBO.

Barrett, are you emotionally prepared to unpack this finale?

I've steeled myself and I'm ready.

Look at us.

Recording on a Sunday afternoon before Gin Pop can even watch the episode.

Yeah, I didn't know if we were allowed to even comment on this.

Oh, we're commenting.

We're commenting.

We're bragging.

Yeah, I mean, we've, I think, I think this is a sign that we've, that after nearly 10 years, we've officially made it as a TV podcast. Nine years. That's my, that's my take on this. Nine years in the game. And we finally got screeners for, um, for the last couple episodes of a show, of a major show that we're covering. We didn't take advantage of it last week

because the schedule wasn't going to work out anyway. Well, and they didn't send it to us.

But here we are, recording early for the finale. We watched on a very special app, and it was thrilling.

It was, as you said, i think it was intoxicated it was

intoxicating i felt so cool um watching on a watching on a thursday or a friday when when nobody

else can even can't even fire it up until sunday night it was sick they've got to miss

sunday night football like plebs yeah you know? Not us, buddy.

No, I'm kidding.

You know, I, it's, there's something enjoyable watching it communally with everybody as well. Oh, no, 100%. I mean, obviously for our jobs, this is helpful. And a big deal. Correct. It's helpful and a big deal. Those are the two most important things. and I'm very, I mean, look, obviously somebody out there knew that we were covering this show and I guess, you know, covering it well if, if we want to gas ourselves up a little bit as well. And we should just let them know right now if they're, if they're, if they got peoples out there, hey, we're going to be covering, um, 9 of the 7 kingdoms in January.

We'll certainly be covering House of the Dragon season three.

Euphoria probably as well.

Most likely euphoria.
