Hello everyone. This is Rob here. I'm with Troy. We're going to tell you a little bit about an announcement you may have heard about online regarding a partnership we've formed with idle thumbs. You probably have a few questions about what that's going to entail. And so the first thing you should know is we're not selling the podcast. And we're going to have a Q&A show, actually, with at least a couple of the guys from Idle Thumbs next week.

But, Troy, do you want to explain a little bit what this is going to mean for three moves ahead going forward?

Yeah, I mean, this is, first of all, something Rob and I are very excited about.

The Little Thumbs guys approached Rob a couple months ago

and suggested that we joined them in a podcast network type thing. Now if you aren't familiar with

idle thumbs, it is a very, very popular gaming podcast that's been on hiatus for a long time.

They just did a Kickstarter and raised a buttload of money.

And they've invited us to join them in this network. It's a very different show from ours.

It's very entertaining. It's got a lot more music that isn't from Bruce's gangster rap collection.

So it's something we're looking forward to, and like we said, we hope to have some answers for you about some of the details next week.

What this means for three moves ahead is, well, a lot of it is we're not quite sure.

This is something in progress. We're learning as we go along.

The big thing is we have full editorial control. something in progress. We're learning as we go along.

The big thing is we have full editorial control over the show.

So that's not going to change, not going to make us do things that aren't strategy games because they like our voice and they approached us specifically because of that.

Three Moves Ahead is now a fully owned partnership between Rob and myself, between me and Rob.

It's only fair, I think, that he get 50% ownership in it because he's done such a kick-ass job running the show.

So we are full partners in moving forward on this, and I'm very happy to have that be publicly known, so I can't, you know, change my mind.

So that's certainly never going to happen as far as I can tell.

The big thing, I think, for the podcast is this will mean a lot of new listeners.

Idle Thumb is a huge audience.

It's a chance for us to expand the audience. And hopefully it means that we can create a lot of new listeners. Idle Thumb is a huge audience. It's a chance for us to expand the audience.
