It was official. A new season had begun. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know. The ones you love

are always in your heart. Hello, everyone, and welcome to everything iconic with me, Danny Pellegrino.

Today on the podcast, we're going to be covering the summer house season finale, plus in the city,

the very first episode. I thought it was fantastic. I got excited to hang out with those new people. It seems like they're all a little bit messy. It feels a little more aspirational to me than the Valley. Because I think the valley is actually like the biggest comp for In the City. The Valley was spun off from Van der Pruyles. It's about the next phase in these people's lives. But one of the things with in the city, the first episode at least, is like we're getting into the city, we're at the rooftop bars, and it feels like a little more glamorous, even the apartments in the city, which doesn't make much sense to me, but the apartments feel a little nicer, a little shaker, a little better decorated. Like, when I'm watching the valley, I'm kind of looking like, what are we doing here in these houses? And I know everything feels bleak when we're going

to Santa Clarita and they don't even want to be there. But at least in the city,

it feels like there's livelihood, there's life, there's excitement, there's lights and

people everywhere. And it feels a little more aspirational to me in a way that I was not expecting. It didn't feel as sad and bleak as the valley often does when I'm watching that, and I'm just seeing all these couples who ate each other and have children involved. At least in the city, they do have children involved, but it seems like we're going to be focusing more on the people without the kids. I don't know. I'm excited. I'm excited. In the summer house finale was great. I didn't know how they would cover it. I knew they were going to be focusing more on the people without the kids. I don't know. I'm excited.

I'm excited. And the summer house finale was great. I didn't know how they would cover it. I knew they were going to be leading in from summer house into the city and doing like a seamless transition where they're leaving the summer house and going into the city. And so that's what happened where it was like they left the house and then we're all of a sudden getting confessionals on a couch.

And so that was thrilling.

However, my one kind of minor complaint They left the house, and then we're all of a sudden getting confessions on a couch.

And so that was thrilling.

However, my one kind of minor complaint is that we're also enthused by the West Amanda, Sierra of it all.

And with West and Sierra not on this show, they did pick up cameras and film a scene with Kyle and Amanda,

but I think we're all invested in that storyline. So it feels difficult to kind of go back in time, and we're doing this sort of

backwards inception situation where at the beginning of the In the City episode, we're flashing ahead,

then we're flashing back, then we're flashing. And so it feels a little bit disjointed,

which I don't know how they would have fixed that, because the West and Amanda of it all happened probably after they already had the first episode of In the

city edited and ready to go. And so they had an impossible task. But I think they did a great job.

They, at least, it didn't bore me. And that's good. That's good. So first we're going to cover

this Summer House finale episode because it was intense. The previously on, you know at the beginning of the episode when they did the previously on Summerhouse, even that had like that real house of Salt Lake City choir music where it was like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You know, it was like that and an angry violin in the background. And I love that. And I don't know if it was just the, the episode that I saw, I saw like an unsensored version. You know how sometimes on Peacock they air, the uncensored versions of like the finale's and the reunions and stuff. The episode I saw was uncensored.

And so, even on the previously on Summerhouse, they showed Kyle telling Amanda to fuck you

when he said, fuck you. And I'll tell you what, hearing it without the sensor bar, it was actually
