There was nothing to suggest that it is not listed in the video... You may not comment without watching things, but it is clear you comment without reading things.
Actually, I went back to read it again just to make sure I didn't say that there was no listing of the data in the video. When I first read your comment you had me thinking I had said that, but nope, it wasn't there.

I've never seen his show cover any single topic where I have a lot of knowledge where I thought they did even a passable job at conveying facts. It is after all a "comedy" show.
