| 0:00.0 | Good evening. You are listening to Three Moves Ahead, and I'm your host, Rob Zackney. |
| 0:03.4 | Joining me today, once again, is Three Moves Head founder, Troy Goodfellow. |
| 0:07.1 | Good afternoon, everyone. |
| 0:08.9 | And once again, I am joined, but not in person this time, sad to say, by our elite |
| 0:14.4 | irregular panelist, Dr. Bruce Garrick. |
