Rob puts his hands together and pulls them apart to reveal his name on a yellow block and moves into the background. Ross Federman moves into the foreground and pushes a grey block against his head with his right hand, it comes out the other side of his head and the grey block with his name on it gets grabbed by his right hand. Ross moves into the background. Joe Hawley comes into the foreground doing a finger gun motion, the red block with his name on it comes out like a flag from a prop gun. Joe moves into the background.
