| 0:00.0 | Hey there, I'm Chris Hill coming to you from full global headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia |
| 0:06.6 | with a bonus episode of Market Foolery. |
| 0:09.4 | And if this is your first time listening, thanks for checking out this podcast. Normally market |
| 0:14.0 | foolery is me and one or two of Motley Fool's analysts and we talk about a few |
| 0:20.0 | news stories from the world of business and investing, but for this episode I wanted |
