A bit of your car was once in the head of a sperm whale.

It's insane.

Do you have a list of celebrities who are older than non-sperm whale cars?

Everyone I've named before.

Everyone I've named before.

And more besides.

Try 1917.

When Johnny Knoxville was a little baby, they were still putting whale brain oil in cars.

I think that's insane.

and i think this is a very good news story like wales you know the human species our species we decimated wales we have now changed the laws in all sorts of ways and all sorts of like brave campaigners and you know clever lawyers and all this that the laws have been changed and now with a very few minor dishonorable exceptions japan norway anyway whatever no one kills wales anymore and let's not forget iceland

And Iceland!

No, but basically, and it is a good oil.

As in, if you were looking at it purely from an effective transmission point of view, it was the best oil to use.

Really?

Well, the car industry complained a lot.

They whined massively saying, well, you know what, your transmissions are going to break down more.

And the terrible thing is, for the first couple of years, they did.

As in, car transmissions became a little bit worse for a couple of years.

I think potentially an electric car wouldn't need sperm whale brain oil.

Yeah, because it doesn't, I don't think it operates.
