0:00.0	Hi everybody. Welcome to another episode of Altacall. I am your host, Tane, here to talk about
0:16.8	Traders, Season 4, Episode 9, we are winding down to the end.
0:21.2	And as always, I have a fun guest with me today. It is an avid consumer of pop culture. And it is Mel, better known as Mel, got served. Hi, Mel. How are you doing? Hey, Tane, it's so good to be here. I'm so excited to, like, meet talk to you about traitors. Yes, I'm excited to,
0:39.2	my listeners know, I say this all the time. When I meet my tribe of people who just love reality
0:44.8	TV show, and I think we've talked a little bit about culinary class wars, I think it was. Yes.
0:51.9	Which is so niche. I'm not happy with season two, by the way. I didn't like it. I'm with you on that. I am
0:58.2	with you on that. But the journey was, yes, the journey was tricky though this season.
1:03.3	It was like a fun journey for those who haven't seen. And I won't spoil. It was a fun journey for about, what were there, 10 episodes? Actually, it felt like foreverless. It felt very long. Yes. Just they introduced a twist that was, to me, counter to the point of the show. Yes. And sort of ruined any excitement and rooting interest. And I didn't really, I thought the casting itself too this year was kind of me. It was just tricky for me. There were just certain things.
1:27.8	I'm like, how do you expect to go to that? And my faves were eliminated early. So it was just
1:32.5	harder to move on with that. But yes, so I hear your takes. You guess on podcasts every now and then.
1:39.1	We share a Patreon together. And it's just fun to have you here for us to talk about traders. I know. I haven't
1:45.8	been able to talk traders before so I'm excited. I've been enjoying the season. It's definitely,
1:50.8	you know, an interesting season. But why I like Traders is it's so different every time you
1:56.0	watch it and plays out around the world. I know I won't spoil Traders UK that just happened,
2:00.7	but we were watching that.
2:02.0	Just every time you watch, it's so wildly different, even with, you know, a similar variable.
2:06.4	So can't wait to talk about this.
2:08.2	Okay.
2:08.7	Before we diving, there's a question I ask all my guests before we go into the episode.
2:12.8	And it's like, can you share three players that you are not familiar with before you started watching
2:19.4	the show that now you're like, huh, I'm intrigued by you.
2:22.9	Like, I like you now.
