Often on the show while trying to tell the story of the topic...we accidentally land on a wild fact that stops us in our tracks...this week we revisit the ten moments and give them a deeper dive...also KP had to do two episodes in a row so he wouldn't miss a week when his son was born!

*Disclaimer* - This is NOT a "best of" list of moments from the show.
