| 0:00.0 | Tell us your name, David Lasseter. Where are you from? I'm from all over the |
| 0:06.3 | place. Well I like to think I'm from all over the place because I went to a |
| 0:09.9 | bunch of different schools but really I've only lived in like three major |
| 0:12.7 | places, Canada, Arizona and Utah. So I like to say that I'm from Gilbert, Arizona |
