I love Sandy for still being cross about the Prussians taking a piece of Denmark more then a 150 years ago😂
My wife had knee issues and was seeing a specialist for them. One day, she had excruciating pain in her left knee and went to see him. He took x-rays and showed her that there was nothing extra wrong with her knee. She got a second opinion by another doctor who was sent that x-ray and he showed her her fractured femur just above her knee, that the first doctor missed by focusing on her knee.
I adore Joe Lycett. His mischief is the stuff of legends.
can you IMAGINE the mayors face when joe sent his second email going "its a public event now"

this episode was one of the most tidy at referring back to previous jokes i have ever seen in QI. eberyone did such a great job- their chemistry as fellow comedians really gelled quite nicely
Joe is such a troll, I love him.
Look I Stan Sarah and Duck about the same, I learnt about it at a friend's place one night when they were feeding the toddler in front of the tv. That was such an awesome time. They put the kids to bed and us adults ate pizza and watched another three episodes.
QI is a great show but the comment section provides so much more information and often clarification. People are awesome!
stop shitposting
this show reaches such a broad audience that you often get great insight and even relations to people mentioned in the discussion.
Yes, Google searching is such a chore
Yeah, people are awesome - absolutely true! But I must point out that this is social media, and the things people write, even well-intentioned people, aren't always true. If something matters to you, always check with trusted sources. If it's just a cool factoid (things that make you go hmm...), then who cares. Am I right? 😀
@@dcs002 Even the Elves have had to declare retractions months later for wrong answers.
Sandi is so great. She's like the cool substitute teacher that's initially non-threatening, makes learning fun, informative, but won't hesitate to make you look like an idiot if you step out of line
I remember a shoe shop in Henley on Thames that had a working x-ray fluoroscope in the late 1960s. As a child I would look at my feet bones through the machine.
I remember putting my feet in one of those too.
Marconi also used 17 of Nikola Tesla's patents (including one on the design of a device to transmit radio waves specifically) in order to create his radio. Marconi definitely did not *invent* the radio. He just built the first successfully demonstrated radio transmitter/receiver setup.
So he invented a working radio. With your logic you can never invent anything. All inventions make use of previous knowledge/inventions.
Then who invented the airplane? The Wright Brothers built the first one that successfully flew, but they used lots of ideas first put forward by others. Being the first to make something that works is generally what gets inventor's credit. I think Marconi relied more on the work of Lodge and Hertz than anyone else. Lodge had demonstrated the generation and reception of radio waves, but Marconi's breakthrough was in seeing the potential of this phenomenon as a means of communication at a distance, something that hadn't been done before.
Marconi said he didn't understand a lot of it, but he was being humble. He understood enough to transform a device that could only transmit a few meters into one that could transmit many miles. That made all the difference.
So the Wright brothers didn’t even the airplane because they bought the engine form GE. If you build the first working radio, you are the inventor of the radio. And if Tesla was such a genius why didn’t he do it?
Your arguments are strong, but In 1943, a few months after Tesla's death, the US Supreme Court finally overturned Marconi's patent in favor of Tesla for the invention of the Radio.
That's what we call "inventing something". Good try.
Okay, I really need somebody to do a really slow, mournful, heart-rending rendition of the QI theme song for cello or viola.
:) Did you know the theme was specifically meant to sound laidback and happy? John Lloyd said they couldn’t get the rights to Sam Cooke’s *What a Wonderful World* (“Don’t know much about history, don’t know much biology…”), so he asked Howard Goodall to write something with a similar feeling.
@@alleeum Howard Goodall is a scoring genius. I absolutely love his work! I compose music for plays, and I often ask what Howard would do when I get stuck. I learn so much by listening to him.
In Russian, an x-ray is basically called a röntgen (рентген): "I'm going to have a röntgen of my arm done tomorrow"
It's like they've got their own words for everything. :)
It was a little exciting hearing Wilhelm Röntgen's name, knowing I'm vaguely related to him.
Gyles, is that you? :D
3.6 roentgen: not great, not terrible.
But you aren't him, so no one cares.
@@famine92 😂😂😂
It's not 3 generations of ancestry... it's 15,000.
11:43 Sandi's timing is impeccable 😂 as a Yank I personally have never seen a whole aisle dedicated to hemorrhoids...😂😂😂
I grew up in the 60s and our local shoe store also had a fluoroscope x-ray at the entrance on the floor to the store and we loved it. We looked at our feet every weekend...over and over again!
13:57 - mate, that's not a gorilla, that's sassy the sasquatch
Humans have the same radiant heating & cooling as toucans because we're also tropical animals. Our extremities warm up (increased blood flow) to shed heat when we're warm, and they cool down (decreased blood flow) when we're cold in order to conserve our body heat. Temperate animals like squirrels and foxes do the opposite. They increase blood flow to their extremities to warm them up when they're cold. That's why they can stand on the snow barefoot all day. They generate their own heat internally by mechanisms we tropical animals don't have (uncoupling in brown adipose). They pay for that heat generation by having to eat a lot more food for their body weight than we tropical animals do.
I was totally expecting one of the buzzers to be Kraftwerk
Can a Brit please explain Alan's Buzzer Sound? It is clearly something meaningful to the general British audiences, but I am a very confused but curious foreigner😂
It's the theme song from a BBC radio soap opera called The Archers. It's been running for decades and it a good contender for being simultaneously the dullest and the most pretentious soap opera in the world.
What he said, so it's the worst type of 'radio activity'. Just a dad joke.
Josh was bitten by a radioactive sheep ... He can now do tasks in a single bound 🤣
As someone who studies historical fashion, the corset was actually okay for you, like bras they can help your chest but also a back. No one was dying from corsets, they were dying from other reasons. The woman who was x-rays was likely a poorer lady who from lack of proper nutrition was more likely to have her bones shifted from long tight lacing(which is bad!) Women wore them for hundreds of years, if it was killing them someone would come up with the bra faster not 5 different types of corsets. I wrote a 10 paper on this for college and plan to add to it so I would gladly go on but in short corsets were fine and if you just wear it properly without tight lacing you shouldn't have problems. If you do have problems, you likely have back or rib related problems and need a special corset made for your condition
I think you have to differentiate between corsets as a whole and tight lacing which was definitely injurious to health, though probably not as responsible for as many issues as were ascribed to it.
It is well documented that women quite often fainted because of those Corsets. Something causes you to faint can potentially kill you too.
An apt moniker name for someone what doesn't doesn't have a clue about what can happen when a body gets compressed in some parts of the body. And that views his job in fashion to disprove what medical history has proven. Indeed a basement dweller.
@@atri-us I think that only happens when it's the wrong size. Same with shoes, wearing smaller shoes will cause harm to your feet.
“If it was killing them someone would come up with the bra faster.”
You clearly overestimate humans. Think of the inbreeding in royal families that went on for centuries in various eras. Or a current example: smoking. People are dumb.
Sarah and Duck is the best kid's programming of all time.
"im so livid"
i would be too, joe xD
26:20 Actually, it’s “New-fund-LAND” - with the accent on LAND and pronounced like we Americans pronounce the word “LAND.” And I know this because I visited St. John’s, Newfoundland and was PROMPTLY corrected and given a five minute lesson on how to pronounce “Newfoundland” by one of their citizens, so……..”New-fund-LAND.” They basically said, “You foreigners always pronounce it like that, but it’s pronounced “New-fund-LAND.”
I was in the International Spy Museum about a year after it had opened and they did not have the fake scrotum then. It has trippled in the amount of stuff they started with since then. Fascintating place in Washington D.C. but it is not part of the National Museums. It is privately owned so you do have to pay to get in but is worth it.
Classic episode...
I had my feet x-rayed in a fluoroscope in the early 60’s in Burbank, CA. Probably used my allotment of 12 in that one visit.
Where in Burbank? That's where I live now. Must have been more common in the 60's in the US, because my dad remembers doing it as well in Palo Alto as a kid.
@@nathanhaimson I remember seeing one of those in a shoe store when I was a kid in the 70s, but Mom said I couldn't use it. (It might have been a display for the curious, and not a working model.)
I only wish the captioning worked on these QI videos. I miss so much due to the accented English. 😩
Every time I need medical advice I ask a fashion scholar for a definite opinion.
Dutch also call an x-ray a "Röntgen picture"
Bulgarians as well, probably many others too, but she just said Danes. Probably an off the cuff fact they didn't research further.
... and also Indonesian. We usually call it _foto rontgen_ (pronounced as RON-sen, literally "a photo from the Röntgen machine").
I find it interesting at how many comedians were teachers..
I agree with you Josh, I am from Devon, my mum is from Cornwall and we also always put jam on first then the clotted cream
When I was a child Buster Brown shoe stores had them. We only got Buster shoes once a year to wear to school.
Josh looks like a young Austin Powers. 😁😁
His teeth are too nice.
@@dcs002 give it time
She was right, his middle name is Conrad
Ha! I was waiting for the shoe shop one. Nasty bit of business.
im in my 40s, grew up in the 80s and 90s. i feel like i NEED Joe's shirt. that is fantastic
Have your fiber!
Can someone explain to me the joke of Alan's buzzer?
I thought it was from Fallout video game. But now I'm not so sure
It's clearly the intro to a British radio program, but I do not know which one.
@@caesarsalad77 The Archers, long running rural soap
On the RADIO but very famous.
Allen is kind of right when he asks if you shout loud enough, will the whole world hear it, obviously not, with the human voice. In the same thought, There have been Volcanos, and thermonuclear bombs that have been heard around the world erupting/detonating.
17:52 she didn't say if they seen the gorilla or not
Walking definitely helps delivery.
So does a shop of pitocin!
"one time I noticed my gums were shrinking; turns out I was brushing with preparation h!" --Rodney Dangerfield
mixing up preparation H with Colgate. my teeth arent any whiter, but i can whistle really good! - Bill Engval
Lol so funny ❤
All sound is from the past. To make the sound waves something has to do a thing (ooh, how sciency!). But by the time you hear it, the sound waves were created in the past.
I think it's cool that there's one latitude north and one south where you can face west and scream, and your scream will hold in place above the spinning earth.
It will go back and forward in time as the time zones are crossed, but it'll generally just hang there in time and space until the International Date Line comes around. Or until it dissipates...
Sandi’s deadpan delivery will be missed!!
Where's she going?
I was scared of skeletons until my daddy shined a flashlight(torch). To show my bones and through my doll ( I was way younger then). To show that she didn't have bones. And that it was an irrational. Maybe or maybe not? Just saying!
Mr Eldridge quotes Mr Dangerfield who cleans his teeth with Preparation H. As a public service, and because l've been so lucky (66) l hereby inform Brits and others that Prep.H is a haemorrhoid cream.
i hear that if you DO mix those up, you can in fact whistle VERY well afterward.
Who keeps inviting this Shazia woman.
I heard the reason Röntgen (better known as Conrad) took his wife to the laboratory that day was that he told his wife that he would probably be working in the laboratory late that night. She replied "For Gott's sake, Raddie! If you're having an affair, just tell me! Don't give me those lame excuses about working in the lab late again."
Raddie (his wife's pet name for Conrad) figured after that outburst that it would be safer for him if he just took her to work with him that day. Of course, he really had planned to have another 'X-Ray party' with his beautiful assistant, Elsa, but discretion is the better part of valor. Sadly, Elsa died young due to radiation sickness. Of course, Elsa was the first person to be X-rayed.
Women in red B so rude😩
However, some female actors are still required to wear corsets, and still have organs displaced, as a result.
It isn’t permanent, but I still think it’s disgraceful. It happened to Emma Stone in the Favourite.
Do we really need so much period accuracy
"Thoron". Hold up, don't you mean thorium? Nope, learned something today, gaseous thorium decay product.
Entertaining to watch, but the accuracy of the science is a bit disappointing.
For example, convection moves the warmed air up, it's heat RADIATING into the air that makes that happen.
Hence they are indeed radiators...
No, 80% of the heat of the metal is transferred to the air molecules directly. Could have explained it better.
I'M THE 666TH LIKE😈
I don’t know if you know, but your ads have actual video in between them.. You should probably watch out for that. Jesus Christ. Like every two minutes at least. 🙄
that is the google ad-sense for larger channels. all streaming platforms have greatly increased the length and commonality of advertisements, especially for longer videos. this is why i do not use any youtube on my mobile devices, and use an ad blocker on my browser for youtube. i absolutely despise any and all unsolicited advertising and will always refuse that product, basically forever, because i dont like getting ads shoved down my eye holes.
@@ghomerhust Does your ad blocker still work? Mine suddenly became detected by TH-cam, and after ignoring it for a while, YT blocked my ability to watch videos. So I switched accounts, and the ad blocker seems to be working fine again - on this account. The ad blocker was updated Oct 4, I think, along with my Firefox browser. YT is doing something different.
Please let me know where I can find the ad free version you spend your time making?
A study was done to find out how to give birth from 1500 women? It took that many to find out! I find it's best to just ask mom and she will have the answer. What a crazy amount of money waisted to do this study...Mom know all. If you asked Dad he would just answer... Some one bring me a pint please!
Some mom's don't know diddly squat.
I am reliably informed by women in my life that being in extended labor can be a rather terrible experience. It's also a very expensive experience if done in a hospital. It's not wasted research money. If it can relieve suffering and shrink medical costs, everybody wins.
Shazia added absolutely nothing to this episode.
She's neither funny nor clever.
There must be some glaringly obvious reason they chose to put her on the show,
but for the life of me I can't think of what it might be...
this was such a great episode
