I read about this.

They just, like, shove it under the carpet, basically.

With a gun to your head, James, could you name another three trenches?

Because I'm thinking it's the only one I've got.

I'm very impressed that you've named even one of your friends.

But Dan, you're saying this presumably doesn't work?

Well, let's change the law.

Let's keep on firing it into space like we normally do.

okay it's time for our final fact of the show and that is andy my fact is in the 1970s the american car industry complained about new rules which said you could no longer include sperm whale brain oil

Woke gone mad.

This is crazy.

I can imagine Clarkson having a go at that in one of his columns.

Since you can no longer use... Whale oil was a massive business for a couple of centuries.

There is a separate thing.

I'm sure we'll talk about both kinds of oil.

There's a separate thing in sperm whale's heads.

The sperm whale brain oil, also known as spermaceti.

And until 1972...

Which is really quite recent.

Lots of American car brands included in their transmission sperm whale brain oil.
