I'm your friend David Pierce and I am sitting in my new bathroom.

0:11.0

It's been almost a month since we've been doing this construction and

0:15.2

I'm sure you've heard me complain about all of the construction noise and

0:19.5

chaos on the show over the last month. You've probably even heard some of the noise and

0:24.4

chaos on the show over the last month. So I'm sorry for all of my noise and
