    For anyone wondering, a certain actor's refreshingly friendly and reasonable lawyers took issue with a few sentences in our original version, so simply asked us to change I think it was literally one word in each of those few sentences. Didn't change much of anything about the overall content obviously. And you'd have to pay extremely close attention to figure out what is different if you watched the two side by side, but they were correct and perfectly justified in the word change they were wanting, so we didn't argue and happily obliged. :-) -Daven

      By the coyness, I figure you were served with a gag order over what the exact changes were?
      Someone else in the comments who has the original version: can you please go through and post a list of changes, with timestamps?

      Listen to The Brainfood Show and you'll learn all about me. ;-) Or just look at the credits at the end. I write about 1/3 of each script (and occasionally 100% when something needs done more rapidly but still maintain normal quality) and am in charge of making sure there is a consistent voice, style, and ensuring accuracy and depth of detail. :-) I founded TIFO the website about 10 years ago and then we later expanded with Simon to the TH-cam channel a few years back. :-) -Daven

    One note: Nick Cage didn’t buy a pyramid shaped “tombstone” - he bought a pyramid shaped tomb. It’s in the same cemetery Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen.
    Down here in New Orleans we don’t bury our dead - we use above ground tombs. The water table is only two feet below ground surface so this Keeps ‘em from revisiting us every-time it rains.
    Tombstones are those small stone inscriptions above a buried body. Cage’s tomb is a literal pyramid large enough for his casket.

      You'd think you be able to get an annulment instead of having to file for a divorce in a situation like that. Also, if they were together for a while beforehand it not's that surprising that she would try for that because in the US, while the specific rules differ slightly from state to state, even if you never got married, and were just living together with someone for a significant period time, or other specific requirements are met and you separate, you can technically file for support in some cases. In this case, I believe it's called Palimony instead of the traditional and more commonly known Alimony.
      So while it does sound outrageous and completely unfair, especially if entire relationship only consisted of 4 days total, it does have legal precedent. Most people with wealth like usually take certain precautions to ensure things like this don't happen...but then again this Nick Cage were talking about here, the same man who bought two albino cobras, a shark, and a octopus as pets, he isn't like most people! LOL! Honestly, he sounds more like a bond villain than a very successful actor!

    I loved how "real" and natural this video felt, compared to most others, who sound at times a bit too stiff and professional (like watching national geographic or history channel). Don't get me wrong, I immensely enjoy those, too, but this one made Simon so much more relatable and showed the little class-clown hidden somewhere deep inside this professional narrator. Please, if possible, let loose more often as it added so much entertainment to the already high level of information. Best video in a long time, in my opinion, if not solely judged on the content.
    Thanks for showing more of the "average Joe" side of Simon who can crack up on something silly.
    On a side note, I didn't like some of the nasty comments about Devin. While I think Simon is the better "presenter" for this channel, after watching your long "behind the scenes" documentary, I think Devin doesn't get all the credit he deserves for his excellent work.
    (Please excuse if I slaughtered your name, but my autocorrect insists it is Devin while I was sure it's Davin. Autocorrect won. No disrespect intended)

    Anyone figure out what was different in this reissue?
    Edit: Okay it seems the only parts that were changed are in the beginning. You can tell it's different because Simon is wearing a gray undershirt (but still the same blue shirt and vest). You can notice it by his neck (along with a change in the video definition). At 7:40 and 8:55 you see the undershirt on again and can tell that is another scene they changed for the reissue. The rest of the video that undershirt is missing because it's from the original version.
