00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Well, howdy, partner, welcome to QI for some highfalutin, rootin, tootin, sharpshootin'
00:39in our Wild West special, yee-haw!
00:41Let's meet our lawless varmints.
00:44What in tarnation?
00:45It's Eshan Akbar.
00:50Wanted, dead or alive?
00:51It's Alex Brooker.
00:56Shilkin Jehoshaphat, it's Joe Brand.
01:00And yippee-ki-yay, Mother Superior, it's Alan Davis.
01:10Their buzzers are from our own rodeo radio.
01:13Eshan goes...
01:22Oh, nice.
01:24Alex goes...
01:25This is great.
01:30Are you just getting overexcited, then?
01:35I need that chair for other people.
01:37Joe goes...
01:41Oh, yeah.
01:49And Alan goes...
01:52I have three wheels on my way, and I'm still rollin' along.
02:01Right, let's mosey on down to question one.
02:03Stop me when you know what I'm talking about.
02:05OK, they used whips, they wore leather chaps, big boots, even bigger hats, used lassoes, invented the rodeo, were mostly boys who herded cows in the 18th century.
02:19It's not cowboys?
02:21No, it's not cowboys.
02:22Cowgirls.
02:25Cow-them's.
02:27It's not cowboys. No, it's not cowboys cowgirls
02:42How thems
02:50I mean, let's just go for cows
02:52So most of the things that we associate with the all-american cowboy originate from the Mexican
02:57Vaquero a cattle hand so vaca meaning cow it comes from Spain starts in about the 15th century
03:03When established by the 17th century, so the cowboy that we think of which is honestly mostly from the movies
03:09Comes to the US in the 19th century when they begin to get these big cattle ranching regions
03:15Now you've all got some bits and pieces to put on some little bit of dressing up today
03:20Yeah, okay. Oh, yes
03:22There we go. Yeah. Now we're talking about the good stuff
03:26Oh, they're spurs, Sandy. They're spurs. Yes, yes
03:29They're very sharp. Have I meant to put that on?
03:34I'm gonna say Joe if you just wear that you will definitely win. I'm just
03:39What kind of hat are you wearing Alex? What is it called?
03:43It's not a trick question
03:45You look like a sort of, I don't know, a mad mystic woman who's going to
03:52What were the hats called? Anybody?
03:54Ten gallon hat. Ten gallon hat. Do you think it had ten gallons in it?
03:58Yes. No
04:00It actually came from the vaquero's sombrero and it really didn't become popular until the 1920s
04:06Which is like way after the Wild West. Most cowboys wore bowler hats
04:10They were called them derby hats and of course they didn't hold ten gallons
04:14Maybe it came from the Spanish tangalan meaning so gallant
04:18Probably it's just an exaggeration. So we had a go at making a hat that could actually hold ten gallons
04:25Now this
04:36It looks like you're about to go on a hen do and drink out of that
04:40I'm on if you are
04:42Weirdly, this is actually only five gallons. You want to try it on if it had been ten gallons
04:47It would have been as tall as me so tiny then
04:49Oh
04:51That's fantastic
04:53You could have a funnel off a steamship
04:59The other thing they had of course is they had whips and lassoes
05:02But they had this thing when they were lassoing you had to be incredibly careful because the rope was very very strong and
05:09You could get your thumb trapped in the rope if you didn't throw it properly and it would come clean off
05:14Oh
05:16I don't know why I'm looking at you
05:26I tell you I'd have made a shit cowboy
05:30He still ain't learned with the rope. He took the thumb. He took the other two buggers
05:34It was called rodeo thumb
05:36It was called rodeo thumb
05:38I know you wouldn't think it'd be that strong would you the rope?
05:40I know absolutely
05:42What is one of the things in the movies though about the way in which cowboys are pretty much always depicted?
05:48They're always having a row, wouldn't they?
05:50Yes
05:52They're always there in the pub
05:54There were some football fans
05:56So almost always depicted as white men
05:58But it wasn't true about a third of cowhands were indigenous Mexicans or mixed-raced mestizos and about a quarter were black
06:06There was a guy called Nate Love
06:08He was known as Deadwood Dick
06:16He became a cowboy after he was freed from slavery and he has an amazing autobiography
06:20It's the only complete story of a black cowboy
06:22He's amazing. He drank with Billy the Kid
06:24He got shot 14 times
06:26He once lassoed a train
06:30Wow! Yeah
06:32He'd just met his future wife and he was absolutely drunk on love
06:34I imagine and whiskey
06:36And he was dragged into a ditch and he wrote in his autobiography
06:38Roping a live engine is by long odds worse than roping wild buffalo
06:42But my love was as strong as ever and I thank my lucky star
06:46She did not see me as they dragged me out of the ditch
06:49Wow
06:51The thing is, if you've survived being shot 14 times
06:54Yeah
06:55You'd back yourself lassoing a train, wouldn't you?
06:57Yeah, exactly
06:58You were going to see 50 cent at that point
07:00LAUGHTER
07:02I've had a 50 cent reference to a QI audience
07:04Yeah, yeah, yeah
07:05You were like that
07:06We crossed over
07:07The QI audience and the 50 cents
07:0950 cents
07:10OK, here's another question
07:12Where did the famous gunfight between the Clanton gang and Wyatt Earp's gang take place?
07:18Yes
07:19Well, I wanted to make a noise so I'm going to say the OK Corral
07:23So we're looking here, Ike Clanton on the left, a wrong'un and Wyatt Earp who at that time of the photograph was a marshal in Dodge City in Kansas
07:38So we've got the bad guys against the law guys and we talk about the OK Corral but where did it actually take place?
07:45Croydon
07:46LAUGHTER
07:47The OK Corral was near Tombstone wasn't it?
07:50Yeah
07:51It actually took place in an empty lot next to a photo studio and it should be called the gunfight outside Fly's photographic studio
07:59LAUGHTER
08:01In fact that picture that we showed of Clanton in Tombstone was almost certainly taken at Fly's photographic studio
08:08So the gunfight did take place 1881 in Tombstone, Arizona
08:11But when the newspapers wrote about it the first thing they wrote was there was a fight on Fremont Street
08:16and that lasted for about 50 years and then Wyatt Earp published his biography in 1931 and that's when it became the fight at the OK Corral
08:26So it is remembered as a shootout between a group of lawmen and a gang of outlaws
08:30Although lots of the lawmen were a bit dodgy themselves
08:33Here's the thing about it, there were 30 shots fired in the 30-second fight
08:37How many people do you think died?
08:39They were only six feet apart these people
08:41All of them?
08:42No, three, they must have been really shit shots
08:45Oh, God
08:46LAUGHTER
08:47Six feet apart, 30 shots, 30 seconds, three dead people
08:51It doesn't seem like a very good...
08:52Who was shooting Brooker?
08:53LAUGHTER
08:55I'd have been in 30 seconds, I'd have still been trying to get it out of your own stuff
09:04Get this out for me mate, would you?
09:07I'll hold it, you pull the trigger mate
09:09LAUGHTER
09:12Now here's some Wild West legends, can you tell me how they got their nicknames?
09:17So this is Wild Bill Hickok
09:20Oh, is that how you say it?
09:21What did you think it was?
09:22Wild Bill Hickok
09:24Yes
09:25Oh!
09:26I mean, depends if he's wearing the chaps
09:28I don't know
09:29LAUGHTER
09:30Highcock sounds like a condition
09:31Yeah, it does
09:32LAUGHTER
09:34Guilty!
09:35LAUGHTER
09:38My little brother, when he was about six, he thought he was called Wild Bill Hickups
09:43LAUGHTER
09:45So his real name was James Butler Hickok
09:48We're not sure, but it's possibly to do with a bit of teasing
09:51So some people said that he had a long nose and quite protruding lips
09:55and he looked a bit like a duck
09:58Duck Bill?
09:59Yes
10:00His nickname was Duck Bill
10:02And he decided he didn't like Duck Bill, but he would OK if it was Wild Bill
10:06Has he not realised he's got like the wrong hat on for a cowboy?
10:10I'm Cossack
10:11I'm Cossack
10:12Wild Bill Cossack
10:13Shut up, Dirt Bill
10:15Fuck you, man
10:16I ain't Duck Bill
10:17I'm Cossack
10:18LAUGHTER
10:19I'm starting to think on Wikipedia and you is going to be Dirt Bill
10:24LAUGHTER
10:25LAUGHTER
10:26He did have a really boring brother called Lorenzo, who used to be known as Tame Bill
10:32Tame Bill
10:33LAUGHTER
10:34But it did kind of predict what was going to happen while Bill was shot in the back
10:38while playing cards when he was just 39
10:40And old Lorenzo, Tame Bill, lived into his 80s, I'm just saying it
10:44The next one is called Big Nose Kate
10:47Oh
10:48LAUGHTER
10:49Which one do you think is Big Nose
10:51LAUGHTER
10:52It's definitely normal noses so far
10:54I know, right?
10:55It's like you've got to go to VAR on this
10:57LAUGHTER
10:58LAUGHTER
11:00Is it referring to another part of their announcement?
11:03LAUGHTER
11:05So, which one do you think?
11:06So, one is her sister Wilma and the one is Big Nose Kate
11:09Kate's on the left
11:10Kate is on the left, yes
11:11I mean, some people say it's because she used to stick her nose in other people's business
11:15She was the long-term companion of Doc Holliday
11:19She was with him at the gunfight at the OK Corral, or the photographic studio
11:23Watching from a nearby window
11:26I'd do that
11:27Would you? Just watch
11:28LAUGHTER
11:29I'd go to the window if I heard a gunfight
11:31Yeah
11:32She worked as a sporting woman, anybody?
11:34Is that like a...
11:35Is that a prostitute?
11:36It is a prostitute, yes, yes
11:38Is that like a brass?
11:40LAUGHTER
11:41What did you say?
11:42LAUGHTER
11:43What a team we are
11:45LAUGHTER
11:46Get that on a BBC poster
11:48LAUGHTER
11:49LAUGHTER
11:50APPLAUSE
11:51APPLAUSE
11:53APPLAUSE
11:59The BBC, for everyone
12:01LAUGHTER
12:02LAUGHTER
12:03LAUGHTER
12:04There are other ones
12:06Richard Rattlesnake Dick Barter
12:08Oh!
12:09What?
12:10Rattlesnake...
12:11Rattlesnake Dick
12:12Rattlesnake Dick
12:13Rattlesnake Dick
12:14What a nickname that is
12:15That is good
12:16LAUGHTER
12:17At the urinal
12:18I can hear him
12:19LAUGHTER
12:20LAUGHTER
12:21Rattlesnake Dick
12:22Rattlesnake Dick
12:23Rattlesnake Dick
12:24Rattlesnake Dick
12:26LAUGHTER
12:27LAUGHTER
12:28LAUGHTER
12:29Got Richard D again
12:30LAUGHTER
12:31Rattlesnake Dick
12:33Rattlesnake Dick
12:34You were the Rattlesnake mine
12:35Where he kept telling everybody
12:36He was going to make his fortune
12:37OK, next question
12:38What use is a square wagon wheel?
12:42Stop me rolling away
12:44Stop me rolling away
12:45That is a very good point
12:46But in this case
12:47Wagon is a person's name
12:48So in 1997
12:49There was a professor
12:50called Stan Wagon
12:52At Macalester College in Minnesota
12:55And he made a functioning
12:57square-wheeled tricycle
12:59OK?
13:00This is not him
13:01This is a man who
13:02I don't know
13:03In a suit
13:04LAUGHTER
13:05And he's called Stan Wagon?
13:07The guy who invented it
13:08Is called Stan Wagon
13:09Did JK Rowling name him?
13:10LAUGHTER
13:13So in order for a wheel
13:14To work at all
13:15The centre has to be level
13:17Right?
13:18So the easiest way
13:19Is to make a round wheel
13:20But if you make a specific track
13:22So you can see
13:23He's on a very specific track here
13:24Then the wheels can be
13:25Any shape pretty much
13:26Apart from
13:27Triangles really
13:28So look at this
13:29Right?
13:30This is a rather brilliant bus
13:31It doesn't go anywhere
13:32Because it's got square wheels
13:34However
13:35If you make a surface
13:37Like this
13:39Which has got
13:40These humps are called
13:41Inverted catenaries
13:43And basically
13:44Look
13:45Along it goes
13:46Like that
13:47I know
13:48So the reason
13:49This is interesting
13:50There's an engineer
13:51Called Gerard Font
13:53And he thinks
13:54Because stones
13:55With very similar curves
13:56Were found in Giza
13:57This method
13:58May have been
13:59What helped people
14:00To roll the blocks
14:01Into place for the pyramids
14:02So I guess
14:03You can see
14:04It's kind of pointless
14:05But it's also interesting
14:06Yeah
14:07How did they do that?
14:08But that road there
14:09Looks like every
14:1020 mile an hour
14:11They're near a school anyway
14:12Yeah, that is so true
14:14Isn't it fascinating?
14:15Wouldn't it be great
14:16To have a car
14:17With square wheels?
14:18I just really like it
14:19I really don't think it would
14:20It's just me
14:31I like a square wagon wheel
14:33That's just the way I roll
14:34Nice
14:35Come on
14:36I like it
14:37Thank you, I appreciate that
14:39Right
14:40Let's move on
14:41To a question
14:42About wondrous wealth
14:43In which state
14:44Was the first
14:45American gold rush?
14:47Wasn't it?
14:48Like California
14:49Oh
14:50Oh
14:51Oh
14:52Oh
14:53Oh
14:54Oh
14:55Arizona
14:56Nevada
14:57We're talking about 1799
15:06The United States is newly formed
15:08Oh, so it's got to be over to the east
15:10Yeah
15:11New York State
15:12Er
15:13We have another 46 years
15:16We have another 46 to go
15:17So
15:18I'm going to stop you there
15:20North Carolina was the very first time
15:22So there was a child playing called Conrad Reed
15:24And he found a nugget of gold
15:26Described as the size of a shoe
15:29And for three years the family used it as a doorstop
15:33So 1799 they find this thing
15:35They keep it as a doorstop for three years
15:37And then his father thought
15:38I wonder what I could get for it
15:39And he took it along to Silversmith
15:40And he got $3.50
15:43It was actually worth $3,600
15:47Oh
15:48Exactly
15:49I mean this is at the time, right
15:50Yeah
15:51They found out that they had been rooked
15:53So they thought oh let's go and look for some more
15:55And over the next 20 years they found $100,000 worth of gold
15:59This is $100,000 at the time
16:00I mean we're talking millions
16:01Damn
16:02Yeah
16:03And basically it was just what they could find in the river
16:05There were no actual mineshafts dug until the 1830s
16:09So the geezer who bought it off and didn't go
16:10By the way just out of interest where do you
16:12Yeah have you got any
16:13The California gold rush doesn't come until 1849
16:18What is the most successful method that people used to make their fortune in the California gold rush?
16:25Probably selling things to the gold rushers
16:28Sell supplies to the prospectors absolutely
16:30The very first American millionaire was a journalist and also a shopkeeper called Sam Brannan
16:35And someone came into his store with a lump of gold and instead of looking for gold himself
16:40He bought all of the shovels and pickaxes and so on
16:43And went out into the town shouting there's gold in them there hills
16:47And everybody came
16:48He bought pans for 20 cents which he then sold for $15
16:52There are accounts of single lemons selling for a dollar which is about $40 today
16:58Because people were frightened about getting scurvy
17:00A single pair of boots today in our money $2,300
17:04And one farmer earned the equivalent of $160,000 in 1849 just selling onions
17:10Like Disney they get you with the merch didn't they?
17:13Yeah
17:14Shop every five meters they know
17:17Now who has been unfairly called a glutton for as long as we can remember
17:22Is it me?
17:24Yeah
17:30Can I just say you're looking very beautiful
17:32Fuck off
17:33Yeah
17:36Genuinely true, I told a friend of mine that I wanted to go on a weight loss kick
17:40And she said to me, yeah, but you're so handsome
17:42That's got nothing to do with it
17:44She was in her own way in a woman's way saying yeah, you should
17:47My stepdad Keith went on a diet and he's a big old geezer and he just wasn't losing any weight
17:55And my mum went he's trying so hard bless him and he ain't losing any weight
17:59And then one day he said he was going out to get the papers
18:02And when I look back on the CCTV on the door
18:05I saw him around the side of the house smashing fish and chips
18:07It's the sort of thing where I could have gone up to him privately and gone
18:11Here mate, look, I know you've been smashing the fish and chips on the side
18:14Mm-mm-mm
18:16Not me, I wait until everyone was in the house
18:18My wife, my mum, my in-laws
18:21And I got the iPad out and I went, here's the evidence
18:25I don't know which is weirder, him doing that, are you watching it or...
18:30So are you doing that a Zen pic thing then?
18:35No
18:36No
18:37I considered it, I'm just trying to go
18:39Just trying to be in a calorie deficit really
18:41And erm, it's not working, so
18:43Oh, you poor thing, it's very boring doing calorie
18:47Oh, that's why I've stopped
18:49There you go
18:51We are talking about the wild life of the Wild West
18:55Anybody think if it's a W?
18:57Particular creature in the Wild West
18:59A warthog, no
19:01I don't think of a single movie where a cowboy goes, oh my lord, it's a warthog
19:10We've got three different versions of the Lion King
19:12Yeah
19:15So, not a wallaby then?
19:17No, no, no
19:18Er...
19:19The Wolverine was...
19:21Well, how would we get...
19:22How the...
19:23Isn't it magnificent?
19:25Do you not think?
19:26Its range reached down the American West as far as California's Sierra Nevada
19:30I thought it was Hugh Jackman
19:32Yes, so did I
19:33I think it's been to a dentist in Turkey as well
19:37Don't you think it looks weird when people's teeth are that perfect?
19:41Yes!
19:42It looks so weird
19:43That's why mine are all yellow with bits of green stuff in them
19:48It's nice to keep a bit of salad for later
19:51So these are most closely related to Martins, which is a weasel-like carnivore
19:56They were called Gulo Gulo, their Latin name meaning glutton glutton
19:59But it's a mistranslation
20:01So the old Norwegian for a wolverine was fjellfrås, which means mountain cat
20:06It was translated into German as a rather similar sounding vjellfrås, which means eats a lot
20:13Oh
20:14It's not fair
20:15One nickname sticks
20:16I know, right?
20:17There are stories that it eats so much it forces its feces out of its body to make more space
20:21Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
20:26It forces its feces out of its body to make more space
20:31We've all been near Boxing Day
20:35Well then after eight, hang on, I've got to go to the loo
20:41Does anybody eat after eights at any other time other than Boxing Day just after lunch?
20:45I have some on my coffee table, so I have it pretty much every night
20:48How's that net deficit going?
20:50LAUGHTER
20:55Every time you meet someone who says, oh, I'm trying to lose weight
20:58And then the next sentence, yeah, I always have after eights
21:01No!
21:02It's not the whole thing, just one
21:05No-one has one after eight
21:07It's the single most moorish thing in the world
21:09I've got really good self-control actually
21:11LAUGHTER
21:12Well, I can't think why there's a problem
21:16So they are amazing creatures, they're really adapted to snowy mountainous conditions
21:22But what is incredible about them, so when they step onto the snow
21:25Their paws spread out to twice the original size
21:28So it's like having built-in snowshoes
21:30And each paw has got five extremely sharp claws
21:33So they can climb a sheer cliff or an icefall or whatever
21:36They have an extraordinary keen sense of smell
21:39So they can smell prey 20 feet under the snow
21:43Why might that be a good thing?
21:46Because that's where prey hides
21:48It's where prey hibernates
21:50Oh, how annoying!
21:52Yeah, they never even see it coming
21:53And they also use snow a bit like refrigerators for keeping food fresh
21:57They have special teeth
21:58These are not from Turkey, these are their own teeth
22:00Special teeth at the back of the jaws which are rotated 90 degrees to the rest
22:05So that they can crunch frozen food
22:08That's something you could get, that darling
22:10And then...
22:11What is happening?!
22:13You wouldn't have to defrost
22:16Yeah, just go straight in, Iceland, boom
22:20Yeah, boom
22:21I want nice food, I'm not that desperate
22:25Well, that's good
22:27LAUGHTER
22:29OK, time for general ignorance
22:31Fingers on buzzers, please

23:48Yeah, hello
23:49Hello
23:50What a ride!
23:51Who's got one there at that cookie
23:53One halfway
23:54A cake or tart

24:05LAUGHTER
24:06God, now Alan's going to be naming biscuits all night
24:09LAUGHTER
24:10So...
24:11A pink wafer
24:12You can't tell me, don't you?
24:13I can't repeat it
24:14LAUGHTER
24:15Neither John Denver nor Bill nor Taffy who wrote the song had ever been to West Virginia when they recorded this song
24:22And they chose it because it's got loads of poetic sounding landmarks like the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River
24:28But they're mostly actually in Virginia
24:30I mean really the song should be called It's About the West of Virginia
24:33Right
24:34There was a brief while they thought about using Massachusetts to fill in a four-syllable gap in the song
24:38You know the wonderful song Moon River by Johnny Merceau
24:41It's got a great line in it
24:42My Huckleberry Friend
24:43It's one of the kind of great lyrics of all time
24:45And Huckleberry was a placeholder by Johnny Merceau when he was writing it
24:49Because he wanted that sound
24:51Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
24:52And he thought I'll just put that in for a moment
24:54And then they recorded it and it has now become one of the great lyrics of all time
24:57I never knew what apple-bottom jeans were
25:00LAUGHTER
25:03Oh, yeah, yeah
25:04Have you ever heard, do you know that?
25:05No
25:06LAUGHTER

25:11And as you know
25:12She got low, low, low, low
25:15Do you have one of those buzzers to stop people auditioning?
25:18Sorry?
25:19It's the young people's turn now
25:21LAUGHTER

26:14Along with a man called John Butterworth in 1850 they set up American Express to deliver
26:17goods around the east coast and the Wells Fargo company was created to move goods around the west
26:23Basically it was profiting from the gold rush American Express extraordinary by the end of the Civil War 900 offices in 10 states
26:30Almost 10,000 miles of railway and express routes the largest empire of stagecoaches in the world and they made an absolute fortune
26:39In fact when Fargo died his home was so expensive to maintain they knocked it down
