QI Series O XL Episode 8 FULL EPISODE | With Bill Bailey, Rhod Gilbert & Katherine Ryan

[@ghomerhust]

I could listen to bill and alan complaining about 1940s health and safety violations for hours 😂

[@joshp8535]

I would have a absolutely lost it if the Claxon had gone off and flashed "49" on the screen when Rhod said he was 49.

[@DebraGreenhill]

One of the funniest episodes ever. Love Rhod and Bill.

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

Well, I adore Katherine.

[@grahamstrouse1165]

One of my favorite episodes! Rhod not knowing his age was so perfect…

[@KJFMZ]

"I've been to the bottom of the sea." "What's down there?" "My feet." is BULLETPROOF.

[@PtolemyJones]

Rhod is so funny, loved him on Task Master.

[@spacewarpphotography1667]

I'd like to see Rhod as the Doctor.

[@Sonosoz]

Rhod is an international treasure. Ow, and the "famous story" about the boy with his finger in the dyke, is only known by the Dutch because people from abroad kept bringing it up. It's not really a Dutch story, well maybe it once was, I don't know, but I grew up in the 70's and never heared about it until I was about 30, from an English friend.

[@Ludifant]

It is a famous story, I heard it growing up in the 70ties.. I always wondered what they meant with the "don´t tell sonosoz" part.. Glad I found out..

I found the ‘Bills of Mortality’ history fascinating.

[@retrocentral]

Dual taps are just old plumbing. Having two taps and one faucet is a relatively new thing, like I think the last 40 or 50 years? Britain is notorious for not getting rid of things that are old.

[@carlyoung6111]

Hence the house of Lords and King Charles.

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

Presidents Trump and Biden ? Mad and/or senile.

[@Anil18834]

I agree Brits can be reluctant to change. The single faucet was invented by Moen in 1937. The design was improved over several years and the ball valve was launched into the market in 1945. Even if the UK struggled economically after the war, and there's an incurred expense to also change the ceramic washbasin, I being Southamerican, cannot find an adequate excuse as to why this change has been implemented in even the most humble home in Latinamerica and the same cannot be said of the UK.

They covered that later in series R and corrected themselves

[@captainsensiblejr.]

Archaeologists believe trepanning was done to remove Hydatids worms from their brains that they caught from their sheep and dogs. The localised headache and other signs would indicate where the trepanation would be done. While cutting and peeling the scalp would hurt and bleed profusely, cutting through the bone and removing the worm would not hurt as much. Some archaeologists have speculated, in the absence evidence, that natural sedatives were used.

They all missed the opportunity to shout: “Jimmy Carr” at 12:17.😢

[@jeanlongsden1696]

the answer to the 2 taps are thus .... firstly you put the plug in the hole and mix the water in the basin, sink or bath. the reason for 2 taps is that heated water (not boiled) will create bacteria. this is why if you split open an type of water heater, hot water tap or the spout on a mixer tap the internals are either green or black. having a separate cold water tap allows you to have fresh mains drinking water that would be contaminated if used through a mixer taps spout. surely the QI Elves should have told Sandy that.

[@vegasbrit9440]

I completely agree w/Cathrine’s feelings about mixer faucets for the home. It’s 2023, no reason why anyone needs the inconvenience of an outdated version of anything else. I’ve lived in USA 19yrs, could never go back to British bathrooms, homes without a utility room etc.

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

@@ripdbtpoo1441 every bathroom in the US has a mixer tap, including subsidized affordable housing and public restrooms. They are more efficient and cheaper over time, as well as better for sanitation. If your tap was installed and never replaced for 50 years, sure, but compared to most home maintenance it’s basically nothing.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

22:58 You're supposed to use both taps to partially fill the sink with water at your desired temperature, then wash your hands in the sink (that's why it was called a "Hand Basin"). And of course, some European plumbing is centuries old, so it can be a little old fashioned, to put it mildly.

[@johnjohnson8575]

Seems quite wasteful

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

@@johnjohnson8575 Not so much if you only put a couple of inches of water in the sink. And that's why bathroom basins are that bowl shape (rather than more cube shaped like a kitchen sink), so that a small amount of water is enough to dip your hands into. Personally, I just use cold water unless I need to wash off something stubborn like oil.

[@esteban280889]

Katherine Ryan is so pretty here

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

27:47 Obviously, the moon's gravity is too strong to escape by just jumping, but the same would be true for a very small satelite as well. I read an Arthur C Clarke short story (I believe called Jupiter V), where some astronauts land on Jupiter's fifth moon and discover it to be a hollow artificial satelite, which has almost no gravity. One of the men turns out to be a traitor, so is thrown off the moon towards Jupiter. "You've just murdered him!" another says. But he explains that the traitor still maintains almost the exact same orbit as the moon, and in 45 minutes will descend right back to where he was thrown. You have to remember that orbiting satelites are travelling at immense speed around their parent bodies, so that dwarfs any small velocity you may have in any other direction. In order to "fall" to Earth, you'd first have to reduce your orbital velocity to zero, which would take an extended period of rocket thrust in a retrograde direction. (This is why George Clooney in "Gravity" wasn't in danger of falling to Earth, he was just drifting into a lower orbit.) Clarke wrote the story around some orbit calculations he did that he thought were a neat basis for some fiction.

Is it just me or is there always exactly one person with a positive score? I may be overthinking it but it feels like the scores aren’t real?

[@andrewrobertson444]

You're basically right. When QI started, they were quite finicky about the scores but just gave up as it went on. Audiences, however, still like to have a game show element so there's a rough score round up at the end..

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

28:22 Of course people have been to the bottom of the sea (even the deepest parts). What she means is that the sea floor is relatively uncharted. We have more detailed maps of the Moon or Mars than we do of the sea floor.

[@dianefields6056]

Why did Sandi say "gripping in the guts", when the word was "griping", which makes sense? Gripe - intestinal pain.

People had the wrong hip replaced, or knee. Mostly accidents with a limb and tge wrong side. They draw a black arrow towards to body part that needs operating on when the patient is still awake. We check the side with the patient on admission

2 TAPS. The proper way was to plug the hole, then fill the basin to the right temperature guys. Don't mock we invented them.

[@ghomerhust]

The point is that it's a very old system. North America has been using mixed taps for over 50 years. Kits to convert old dual taps are cheap and easy to install and so much easier

21:45~21:54 😱😱😱 I am shocked that a religious authority, would knowingly make up things and then spread the lies far n wide. 😱😱😱 Its as if they are the problem. Or to put more accurately. They are the problem.

[@whilwheatonIII]

If you get rid of religion, people would not stop exploiting power stuctures, they would just not have religious power to exploit, and seek other means. Religion is not the problem, some people just suck, and they will find a way to exploit others, regardless of whether they use god as an excuse.

[@happivaras]

@@whilwheatonIII Yeah Nah Obviously HUMANS are the problem. Its just that they (religivermin) are all insane and proud of being insane. Then there's the vermin that are involved in murdering sharks, for their fins only, or the entire worthwhile lifeform. Or the vermin involved in murdering Rhinoceros for their keratin content. Or the vermin that "own" cats, which are allowed to murder useful, worthwhile, endemic species. Just to name a few. The reality is, that it is all irrelevant, humans will be extinct within 150 years probably much sooner and the environmental damage we are dedicated to doing will be barely detectable in a couple of thousand years and a beautiful natural environment will again be all over the planet.

Boston Corbett has another claim to fame, at least according to the author (a word I am using quite wrongly) of a book on my shelves. According to this person, Boston Corbett was in fact Jack the Ripper! In defence of his theorem, he adduces no meaningful evidence whatsoever, and whilst doing so, demonstrates such a total lack of knowledge of the dynamics of prostitution, and human sexuality, and serial killers, that I can only assume he is a 16 year old Amish boy.

How does the scoring actually work ? Catherine won with 4 points when she didn't answer or even attempt the answer a single question ? 🤔

[@Veruca419]

From what I can tell, you earn 1 point for a correct answer or saying something funny or "quite interesting", but you get minus 10 points for a klaxon. So basically if you avoid a klaxon you'll probably win.

She was not one of the better QI guests.

Whereas Katherine Ryan has a wide variety of talents, stand up comedian of course, lyricist, rapper, "dancer"😉 very quick witted, brings lightening fast comebacks, and those comebacks are sharp to the point but not hurtful. Katherine works hard to be the best person she can be, work, family, personal life, Katherine takes on the challenge with joy, determination and dedication. And Katherine actually is a mum.
