Ben: Tom, what decade was the first taxicab produced?

Tom: Oh wow, this is a big deal... uh... uhm, I'm going to have 
to do a Mobile Shout Out on this one. (audience laughs) Dana, 
throw me your phone.

(Dana hands Tom his phone)

Tom: Hello? Hello? Yes, hi, Ben and Beth from Cash Cab are 
here and... what? ... Yes, Cash Cab!  I know, right? Anyway, 
the question is: what decade was the first taxicab produced? 
The 1870s, the 1890s, or the 1910s? 

Sorry, you're breaking up... what? (audience laughs) No,
I said taxicab! ... The 1890s? Are you sure? Okay, okay, 
we'll go with that...

I'm going to say the 1890s.

Matt: I'll agree.

Beth: The First Taxicab was produced by Gottlieb Daimler in 1897.

Ben: X gets the Secret Square and the Block!
