But the episode is about chimpanzees, other furry friends, and the stonkiest place on earth: Wall Street. Please enjoy, and hey, feel free to leave a comment. It's a feature.

Whale, let's dive into another exciting episode of Fast Facts. What's the porpoise of life? The mammal of it all.

It's trivia; it's a list; it's my comeback episode from paternity break. Is there a better way to come back than to lay out some facts that sound unreal, but are in fact, true? I don't think so.
