I would go with a voiced palato-alveolar affricate for the first 
phoneme. The third phoneme is of course the voiced labiodental 
fricative. The first vowel (and second phoneme) appears to be an open 
unrounded vowel somewhere between central and back. It's in a spectrum 
between cot, caught, and father--in my dialect, all of those are 
essentially merged but you can perceive slight distinctions between the 
vowels if you listen hard enough.
