  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to the latest edition of the Jovanella Report.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_01: I believe this is episode three, but it is week four.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_01: We were preempted last week.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_01: I probably should have said something like, hi, we won't be here.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_01: But I felt like by the time I could put that out, I may as well see if you noticed.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_01: So here we are back for the latest from the television show, The Traders, with Spencer Haig.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, thanks for having me.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll give you a quick correction.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: They actually did two episodes the first time,
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: two episodes the second time, and one episode this time.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: So we're actually on episode five.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, wow.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_01: So you're on episode five.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: We're on episode three.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_01: And so are we still in the game?
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_01: What's up?
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this was an interesting week.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: They started off at a round table to kick it off.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: And Joe kind of was fairly quiet and In a setback,
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: a lot of heat went on some other players and he just kind of let that play out.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: And this episode was particularly interesting for our industry because right after
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: that concluded,
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: the host announced that they were going to be attending a wake that evening for one
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: of the players that was going to be murdered that night.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: And so Joe and the other two traders found out that throughout the day that day,
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: they were going to have to Murder someone in plain sight.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: And what that essentially meant was they were going to have to they had
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: a task they were given,
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: which was to take an apple from the kitchen and toss it to someone
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: and whoever caught that was going to be killed that night.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: And but everyone is like highly suspicious of everything that's going on in the castle.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not as easy as like you just like do it and don't look suspicious.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: And Joe kind of took it upon himself to be the leader in this group.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: So he went and immediately grabbed an apple and he was playing with it nonchalant,
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: tossing it around to himself,
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: trying to make it look like he was just a guy playing ball.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I thought it was a really good strategy.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: It was smart.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: People didn't really think anything of it while he was doing it.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: But then the group came together and they decided who they wanted to murder.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: And Joe...
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: She was sitting down and he tossed her this apple and she,
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: not in a way that she suspected that he was trying to do something,
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: but she just,
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if it was a lack of athleticism or what it was, but she did not move.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: And so the apple just fell to me.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: And so he just immediately grabbed it and started eating the apple in a moment of panic.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Oh no!
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: And tried to play it cool.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: And so then there was like some chaos around that.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then you have these other traders that are then trying to also get people to take an apple.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: And so now at least one person we know for sure is on to the idea
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: that someone was being murdered by fruit.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: And so since she didn't catch it, she's not the one.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: They have to pick somebody else.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: They have to find another way to flip an apple.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: The second apple flipper is an even worse shape than the first apple flipper, I think.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: And so I think speeding it up,
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: what it eventually came down to is Joe ended up in the final seconds being able
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: to get someone to catch it.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: And then they went from that to moving on to getting dressed into nice clothes
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: and going to this wake where they all proceeded outside, went to a graveside.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Service where the players that were up for murder,
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: Joe being one of them, because no one knows that he's a traitor.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: They all laid down in coffins that were in the ground.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then they shut the lids on them.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then they slowly announced who was going to be free.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: And then they kind of left us on a cliffhanger with three people plus Joe.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: So four total in the coffins.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: And we know that Joe tossed it to one of those three, but we don't know which one.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, so you didn't see the person, that's like a hearsay thing.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: You know that someone caught the apple at some point, but we don't know who it was.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it kind of like panned off a Joe.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: He said, you know, the deed is done, but we don't know who caught the apple.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: That's interesting.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: I wonder, so, and were there any other traders in the caskets?
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: Were they...
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: They were originally, but they were pulled out.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: And so...
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: At this point, it's just Joe and three people that he could have tossed it to.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: So they really left you on the cliffhanger at the end of this one.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have any speculation?
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: Who could have possibly... Who do you like for this?
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: So Joe is definitely...
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: He was targeting one guy in particular,
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: not because he didn't like him, but because he is actually the opposite.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: He actually does like him and they had a good rapport.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: And so he was tossing gummy bears in the guy's mouth trying to get this...
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'm guessing that he tossed him an apple somewhere and towards the end of
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: that and he caught it.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: And so that is my suspicion,
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: but there are two other people that were in the same vicinity
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: that he could have tossed it to as well because they were kind of all part of
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: that dynamic.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: Now, a couple of weeks ago,
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: You mentioned that Joe had this affinity for one of the other players and felt bad
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: about, is this the same guy?
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: Different guy, no.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, all right.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: But that guy did come into play here,
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: which was interesting because while they were in the coffins and the ground shut,
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: lid shut,
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: everyone else is sitting at this long,
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: beautifully decorated table outside in their suits and they're giving words
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: of Kind things about the players that are buried.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: And that player in particular really gave a heartfelt speech about Joe.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: And they kind of panned to the camera inside the coffin.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: Joe's like, you know, he's struggling with it a little bit.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: You know, a lot of the players had a lot of really nice things to say about him.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: And he's obviously handling it well.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, there you go.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: He's getting a lot of attention for being a good guy,
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: and I think it's going to really hurt some people when they find out he was
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: a traitor.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's interesting.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: It makes me think of,
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how much you know about Benedict Arnold,
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: but that was kind of his deal, right?
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: He was such a patriot, he became a traitor.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: But I was trying to be helpful, and everybody's like, yeah, well, thanks for your help.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: He ruined it, yeah.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: That's fantastic.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: And so what else do we have to report from this week?
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: Any other any other incidents?
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_01: Any other events?
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: Those are the big things.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: I think I kind of summed it up.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: It was kind of,
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: with only being one episode this week, it was a little bit shorter, punchier.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: there were some like disputes going on between other cast members at the roundtable,
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: but nothing that really involved Joe too much.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: He was kind of,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: you know, resided kind of Take a step back from that because it was a little spicy.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: And I think he did well to kind of avoid that altogether.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I think the big thing going into next week is really going to be,
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: we know for a fact,
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: the player that knows about the fruit situation or is highly,
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: he doesn't know, but the person that is highly confident in this, he did survive.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: And so he's now going to have this theory that,
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: Joe and, um,
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: The other traders were passing around fruit and that one of those was the person
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: that was killed.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: And so when they find that out,
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: that's going to really put a lot of heat on Joe and the other traders.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: And then the question will be, how do they spin it?
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: Can they spin it or are they goners?
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: And so we'll see how much longer they last or maybe it all washes away.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know, but it'll be interesting.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: And among the traders, how do you like Joe's odds?
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: If one of the three of them leaves,
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: besides 30%,
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: what are
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: a different set of odds that he's the first trader to go at this point?
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: I would say his is one of the lowest.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: Katie, she has been in the light a lot just because I think she's younger.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: She was kind of a little panicky.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I think like overall people were a little hesitant just on her as a trader.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um, they think that, you know, I think they thought that she was one.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: And so I think that suspicion was already there before this.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: So then when this gets added to the top, I think her odds are the highest.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: And then I think you can put Joe at the bottom just because he is so well liked by
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: so many people.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: I think he'll be able to spin it as just like, what are you talking about?
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: I was playing with an apple.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and, um, Yeah.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: So I, and I think Tamika kind of sits, um,
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: right there in the middle as you know,
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: she's our, we'll call, we'll give her like 50, 50.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: And so just to remind me of the rules,
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: do they try to guess a trader every week or just when someone thinks there's
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: a trader,
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: they guess that person and that person's out,
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: whether they're a trader or not,
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: but is that every week or.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's every week.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um,
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: So they sit down every week at this round table,
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: and then they bring up all their evidence, so to speak, from the week.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then they hash that out at the table in front of each other.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: And they be like, hey, you were really quiet this week.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: What was going on there?
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: You were acting weird.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then someone else would chime in and be like, yeah, you were acting weird this week.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: And now all of a sudden this person that's just a quiet individual is being targeted
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: because they didn't say enough.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: And then they get voted out.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so it really is a game of like building relationships,
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: building trust and kind of creating these networks within the broader group
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: to make sure you have the support going into these situations.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: Well, thank you for your weekly Jovanella report.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_01: We will see you next week.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: See you next week.
