QI Series 18 XL: Quaffing | With Jo Brand, Phill Jupitus and Prue Leith 

“When the big man with the bah-bah, when he was on... There was an episode when, eh, something and he went 'no it will kill you, bah'" HAHAHAHAHAHA❤❤

I remember watching QI back in college, and Jo Brand was always one of my favorites to see for her biting wit. Glad to see it hasn't aged a day.

35:46 Rocky Mountain Oysters!!!! They're genuinely delicious. If it helps anyone, they're typically sliced thin, breaded, and deep fried. They're not eaten raw, like real oysters. Funny, QI worthy story: up in Montana, my little brother and I were loaned out to work for my grandparents friend on his ranch for the day. We were explicitly told not to race the ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles, aka 4-wheelers). Of course, a 14 and an 11 year old were gonna race them! And of course, we got in trouble. To keep us occupied while our grandpa came to pick us up, the rancher sent us to root around in the creekbed to find "rocky mountain oysters." It wasn't until a couple years later that I appreciated how he made himself laugh while distracting us

Thank you again for another full episode! 🎉❤

My parents, both PhD nutritionists, ‘discovered’ quinoa when they were researching foods in Peru in the mid 1950s. Documented that it contained all the amino acids.

Alans should be his charcoal with pottassium acetate, which is what the romans got from mixing PotAsh (KOH) with vinegar (acetic acid)

One of the first Sporks was called a Runcible Spoon. One version had sharp knifelike edge, too, but it did not take off.

Alan's song: *The Wurzels* / _I Am a Cider Drinker_ The official video is just wonderful.

such a fun episode

I first heard of breatharians in an episode of 'Barney Miller'. An arrested man swore he would go on a hunger strike until released Deitrich (the great Steve Landesburg), says" Why don't you become a breatharian?" and explains how it works. The guy in the cell (Larry Gelman) begins taking in huge breaths. Deitrick: "Hey...don't stuff yourself".

I think one should drink ginger beer before going to the disgusting food museum.

Oh Prue, love apple is tomato! :)

I don’t think Jo has aged in 20 years!

The big man also told people to eat insects yet couldn't eat one himself without getting a bit queasy.

Fun

When I first read the title of the show I thought it was about vaginal farts (Queefing). 🤪

Is it my imagination or has the censorship gotten more pronounced over the years? I am genuinely curious if anyone knows.

29:31 This stuff is just awful, cheats, scammers and liars convince some people to try this, which is obviously dangerously foolish. Anyone who claims to be a breatharian is a liar.

I will never understand why Jo goes on these shows, she absolutely hates them and never participates

FIIIIIIIIIRST!
