Girlfriend Floods My New House

The roots got in the pipes. He told me the total price was going to be $14,000 to fix it. So I got my plumber friend on the phone and he knocked it down to $10,000, which is ridiculous. So it's $10,000, which is the worst part about spending $10,000 on something like this is it's for a problem that you can't see. It's not like a broken window where you're like, oh nice, it's a new window. Or it's not like installing a hot tub or installing a brand new bathtub. It's like, it's like under the underground stuff where, where they dig up the ground. And if anything, it looks worse after they're done because it's brand new cement and that doesn't look well with the old cement. It doesn't look good with the old cement. So yeah, it was a $10,000 job.

Next time Liza poops and she's not embarrassed, you can have satisfaction in that.
David20:08
I guess. But here's the thing, after the job was done, I went, I went to use the bathroom in my room because I'm like, okay, everything's done, it's all good. This is a week later, I open the toilet bowl and just Liza's poop is there. And it's just all like d…
