What Is The Most Random Fact You Know? – #TQOTD
Today's text question of the day was "what is the most random fact you know?" Connie, told Steve that he had to be quiet during the segment because he was a know it all. So, what did Steve do? He fact checked everything and put links to the information and shot a video about it. There are a couple of bonuses in the video though. First their cat tried climbing up his back and second Charlotte made a couple of appearances. Enjoy! Oh... And please correct me if I am wrong on any of these!
