I think the YT comments section went easy on Adam for not immediately recognizing the name, I was expecting more comments after this went live🤣 IMO the trains thing is remarkable because it demonstrates how powerful propaganda can be.

Biscuits are lighter, fluffier, and more buttery than scones. We have scones in America that are the same as what you guys call scones. Biscuits and gravy is very good, but it's definitely a heavy meal. I personally prefer a biscuit with butter and jam though. Definitely worth trying biscuits and gravy if you ever get the chance though.

Friends with Hitler, founder of facism and was just generally pretty evil. The part about the trains is because, as part of his propaganda, he would take credit for ton of public services (including overhauling the railways.) A famous saying from the time is "say what you like about Mussolini, at least he made the trains run on time."
