Hi everybody, I'm Ashley Bannfield and it's Sunday and I am in my Sunday track suit.

0:11.0

Look, I don't typically do a whole lot of work on Sundays and it's not because it's the Lord's Day or anything like that.

0:18.0

I just work really hard during the week and I try to get downtime

0:21.0

when I can on the weekends. But I can't today because it's Diddy Day tomorrow. And I had to talk to you about this.
