  2. It's the discovery of oil. It's the minor, it's third element. It's huge. I'm evolutionised. Because I mean, Ederson is talking to Ford, I think. They're having conversations about whether to go big and produce electric cars on mass. Because at this point, you know, so London got electric tube trains in 1890. It got electric trams 1901, and it got electric buses called electric buses in 1907.

  3. It's also the discovery of oil, right? Yeah. The discovery of all was a minor third element, hugely revolutionised. Edison is talking to Ford, I think. They're having conversations about whether to go big and produce electric cars en masse. Because at this point, you know, so London got electric tube trains 1890. It got electric trams 1901, and he got electric buses called electro buses in 1907.

  4. Imagine if you went to see that and it's just in a box. You're like, could we look inside the box? No, no. Jenny Ryan is inside the box and she's busy thinking. It is time for fact number three and that is Andy. My fact is that Ford has a car wash made of giant ostrich feather dusters. The whole car wash. The whole thing. Yeah. That's amazing.
