Alternate versions
Due to Mathew's backlash, the Discovery Channel re-edited the quote mining bit in the third episode for re-airings and the DVD release so that Mathew is now saying what he was trying to say during the interviews, as well as bringing Jason Hildebrandt back to re-narrate that bit. They also fixed Mathew's name, it was misspelled as "Matthew Wedel" in the original TV broadcast.
