Hello everybody and welcome to the We know Traders podcast over here on R8.

I am your host to Disception, please and Vikili.

Ready to talk about another cast member of the Traders Weston.

Here's January 8th.

Welcome to our road to premiere.

So today we're going to be going over and talking about somebody who is from known to the

Dancing with the Stars universe, unknown to me.

I decided to hear about this man, Mark Atlas, and with me today is someone who I'm happy to be able to call

a friend. My favorite player to have ever participated in the circle U.S. and a fellow

updateer. How are you doing? Oh my gosh, Pooya. That just literally made my day. Like, I'm going to

But no, thank you for that. I'm so excited to be talking about this, though. I love the traders. I love your recaps of the traders always. I feel like that's what really

excited to talk about Mark today. It's so crazy that you're saying that like Mark's not even a person

you really know where he's been so ingrained into like my pop culture knowledge for years since he started dancing with the stars.

So very excited about this.

Well, that's incredible.

That means we've come to the right place because, yeah, truthfully, I and like here's the thing, right?

A Dance with the Star just wrapped up a season.

And this was a season that I kept up with

looking at the results. I still don't quite know how it works. And like I feel like for the most

But it sounds like the dancers are just as important and stick out to the fans of Dancing
