I can’t wait to work on this with them and our family, boom. Jennifer said in another tweet that “this project is in capable hands.
In a tweet about the news, Maximum Effort quoted Candy’s line from the 1987 film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. If it makes you feel better, hurt me if you want to. I’m a soft target,” the tweet declared.
