| 0:00.0 | Good evening. We're listening to Three Moves Ahead, and I'm your host, Job, Zachny. |
| 0:03.1 | Tonight, I am joined by Three Moves Head founder, Troy Goodfellow. |
| 0:06.5 | Good evening. |
| 0:07.6 | And our friend Katakus, Luke Blunkett. |
| 0:10.5 | Hey, guys. Thanks for having me back. |
