And I too have to change the subject for a minute.

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to Everything Iconic with me, Danny Pellegrino.

I know you're used to me covering house size on the podcast, but today we're going to be diving in to the new season of the Traders. That's right. The Peacock series, I love the cock, love the series. The first three episodes, I think were great. To me, actually, last season I liked a lot. But this season, I feel like they got all the bugs worked out of the show. Obviously, they've been doing this long enough.

I think they got the right mix of people. I'm very excited to see where it goes. And the first three episodes to me delivered in a way that I hadn't expected it to. I just had the best time watching it. I'm so excited going forward. And if you've not gotten on board with the traders, hopefully maybe these recamps will help. I'm not going to do like a full recap. I just,

well, we'll see how long we go. I don't know how long we go. I did take like upwards of like a hundred pages of notes. I really was going to do this. I was like, maybe I'll just hop on the microphone and do like a five minute, like a little bonus where I talk about my thoughts about the traders, but then I started taking notes and it was like, I got in deep. And I was just having the best time watching the whole series. So if you haven't watched the first three episodes, turn this podcast up because I'm going to go into spoiler territory. And if there's one show that you can't go into spoiler territory with, it's the Traders. And here's the thing that I want to say. I actually moderated the Traders panel at BravoCon. It was the first time they had a panel that wasn't from Bravo. It was a Peacock show that they had a panel at BravoCon. And I was

honored, honored to get to moderate it. And so I got to meet, we only had like the Bravo

people from the previous seasons of the traders. And then in the panel, we brought out some of the

people from the current season. So we had Caroline Stamberry and Dorinda came out and some of the traders. And then in the panel, we brought out some of the people from the current season. So we had Caroline Stamberry and Durinda came out and some of the current cast. And so it was so exciting, but here's the thing. I tried so hard to get spoilers, right? Like, not only from the cast members, but also from behind the scenes. And I'm like, oh, they're asking me to moderate. Like, maybe I'll get some good scoop.

Maybe somebody will help me clock that T-Sys and give me some good scoop on what happens on this season of the traders.

But they keep that shit under lock and key.

And that's one of the things that I think is best about this show, the traders, is that

they have, nothing's been spoiled.

And I think probably because they film it over in Scotland, is Scotland, right? Yeah. Probably because they film it over there. There's just not a lot of leaks. And so I tried my damnedest. And usually with, when it comes to Housewives or, or Vanderpump, or some of these other shows, it's like pretty easy for me to finagle some spoilers. Right? Like how to put, when I meet a producer's something, like, well, okay, like, let's get, let's get to the bottom of this. Or the cast members, you know, oftentimes cast members,

they're excited to leak information. See it come up on the house size time and time again.

You see this person's leaking a blogger, this Kiki Monique's getting leaks, and this one's

getting leaks, and everything's getting leaked. And it's becoming storylines on the real house size now. Things are getting leaked. But on traders, they keep that shit under lock and key. And one of the, I thought the panel went really great of the traders. If you listen to the BravoCon recap, I'd talk a little bit about it. And I was maybe a little hard on myself. But the only, by and large, everybody was like really nice about it.

But the only kind of maybe little criticism I had heard from people was that we didn't talk enough about the traders on that panel.

And the reason why we didn't talk so much about the traders and I kind of veered questions about their individual shows was because they were very strict

about getting spoilers. And I think that's a good thing for the show. I mean, they were so concerned

because it was a live event. There were so many people in the audience. And because the cast members
