  <description>Fr. Anthony cohosts our first show of 2022! Taylor shares the yearly "State of the Forte" with how the show did the previous year, top ten episodes and more! 
J.P. Quinn helps us kick off the year with some insanity with his hot takes segment "Forte, Mezzo, Piano" where he shares his takes &amp;amp; the hosts yell at him and tell him he's crazy.
To close the show, Fr. Anthony invents a new Christmas themed game for Taylor called "What Child is This?" It's another game for Taylor to look dumb. We hope you enjoy this episode. Happy New Year!
