00:00I
00:29Well, howdy, partner. Welcome to QI
00:32for some highfalutin', rootin', tootin', sharpshootin'
00:34in our Wild West special. Yee-haw!
00:36Let's meet our lawless varmints.
00:39Rotten tarnation, it's Eshan Akbar.
00:45Wanted, dead or alive, it's Alex Brooker.
00:51Shoken Jehoshaphat, it's Joe Brand.
00:56And yippee-ki-yay, Mother Superior, it's Alan Davis.
00:59They're buzzers are from our own rodeo radio.
01:08Eshan goes...
01:10Oh, nice.
01:19Alex goes...
01:20This is great.
01:24Are you just getting overexcited, Alex?
01:31I need that chair for other people, don't you?
01:35Joe goes...
01:37Oh, yeah.
01:40And Alan goes...
01:46Three wheels on my wife.
01:50And I'm still rolling along.
01:55Right, let's mosey on down to question one.
01:58Stop me when you know what I'm talking about.
02:01Okay, they used whips,
02:03they wore leather chaps,
02:04big boots, even bigger hats,
02:06used lassos,
02:07invented the rodeo,
02:09were mostly boys who herded cows
02:12in the 18th century.
02:15Two wheels on my wagon.
02:20Er, cowboys.
02:23APPLAUSE
02:24It's not cowboys?
02:28No, it's not cowboys.
02:30Cowgirls.
02:31LAUGHTER
02:32I mean, let's just go for cows.
02:47So most of the things that we associate
02:49with the all-American cowboy
02:51originate from the Mexican vaquero.
02:53Cattle hand, so vaca, meaning cow.
02:55It comes from Spain,
02:56starts in about the 15th century,
02:58well established by the 17th century.
03:00So the cowboy that we think of,
03:02which is honestly mostly from the movies,
03:04comes to the US in the 19th century
03:06when they begin to get these big
03:08cattle ranching regions.
03:10Now, you've all got some bits and pieces
03:11to put on,
03:12some little bit of dressing up today.
03:15Yeah.
03:15OK.
03:16Oh, yes.
03:17Here we go.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Now we're talking for good stuff.
03:21Oh, they're spurs, Sandy, they're spurs.
03:24Yes, yes.
03:24They're very sharp.
03:25Are we meant to put that on?
03:26LAUGHTER
03:27I'm going to say, Joe,
03:31if you just wear that,
03:32you will definitely win.
03:33I'm just...
03:33LAUGHTER
03:34What kind of hat are you wearing, Alex?
03:36What is it called?
03:38It's not a trick question,
03:39do you?
03:40Cowboy hat.
03:41You look like a sort of...
03:42I don't know.
03:43A mad mystic woman who's going to...
03:45LAUGHTER
03:46What were the hats called?
03:48Anybody?
03:49Ten-gallon hat.
03:50Ten-gallon hat.
03:51Do you think it had ten gallons in it?
03:54Yes.
03:54No.
03:55It actually came from the vaqueros' sombrero,
03:58and it really didn't become popular until the 1920s,
04:01which is, like, way after the Wild West.
04:04Most cowboys wore bowler hats.
04:06They were called them derby hats.
04:07And, of course, they didn't hold ten gallons.
04:09Maybe it came from the Spanish tangalan,
04:12meaning so gallant.
04:13Probably, it's just an exaggeration.
04:15So we had a go at making a hat
04:16that could actually hold ten gallons.
04:20Now, this...
04:22Whoa!
04:32It looks like you're about to go on a hen-do
04:33and drink out of that.
04:36I'm on if you are.
04:37Yeah.
04:37Weirdly, this is actually only five gallons.
04:39Do you want to try it on?
04:40If it had been ten gallons,
04:42it would have been as tall as me.
04:43So tiny, then?
04:45LAUGHTER
04:46Oh, that's...
04:47Fantastic.
04:48Could have a funnel off a steamship.
04:49LAUGHTER
04:50The other thing they had, of course,
04:55is they had whips and lassoos.
04:57But they had this thing, when they were lassoing,
04:59you had to be incredibly careful
05:01because the rope was very, very strong
05:03and you could get your thumb trapped in the rope
05:06if you didn't throw it properly
05:08and it would come clean off.
05:10Oh!
05:10Don't know why I'm looking at you.
05:11LAUGHTER
05:12I'll tell you what,
05:23I'd have made a shit cowboy.
05:24LAUGHTER
05:25They'd be like,
05:26he still ain't learnt with the rope.
05:28It took the thumb,
05:28it took the other two bugs,
05:29isn't it?
05:31It was called rodeo thumb.
05:33Rodeo thumb?
05:34I know, you wouldn't think it'd be that strong,
05:36would you, the rope?
05:36I know, absolutely.
05:38What is one of the things in the movies, though,
05:41about the way in which cowboys
05:42are pretty much always depicted?
05:44They were always having a row, weren't they?
05:46Yes.
05:47They were always there in the pub.
05:49There were some football fans.
05:50Yeah.
05:51So, almost always depicted as white men.
05:54But it wasn't true.
05:55About a third of cowhands
05:56were indigenous Mexicans
05:58or mixed-raced mestizos
05:59and about a quarter were black.
06:02There was a guy called Nate Love.
06:03He was known as Deadwood Dick.
06:05LAUGHTER
06:08He became a cowboy
06:12after he was freed from slavery
06:14and he has an amazing autobiography.
06:16It's the only complete story
06:18of a black cowboy.
06:19He's amazing.
06:20He drank with Billy the Kid.
06:21He got shot 14 times.
06:22He once lassoed a train.
06:25Wow!
06:26Yeah.
06:27He'd just met his future wife
06:28and he was absolutely drunk on love,
06:30I imagine, and whiskey.
06:31And he was dragged into a ditch
06:33and he wrote in his autobiography,
06:34Roping a live engine
06:36is by long odds
06:37worse than roping wild buffalo.
06:39But my love was as strong as ever
06:41and I thanked my lucky star.
06:42She did not see me
06:43as they dragged me out of the ditch.
06:46LAUGHTER
06:46Wow.
06:47The thing is,
06:48if you've survived being shot 14 times...
06:50Yeah.
06:50..you'd back yourself lassoing a train,
06:52wouldn't you?
06:52Yeah, exactly.
06:53You were going to say 50 Cent at that point,
06:55wouldn't you?
06:55LAUGHTER
06:56I've got a new 50 Cent reference
06:59to a QI audience.
07:00LAUGHTER
07:01You would love that.
07:02A big crossover.
07:03The QI audience and the 50 Cent.
07:0550 Cent.
07:05LAUGHTER
07:05OK, here's another question.
07:08Where did the famous gunfight
07:09between the Clanton gang
07:11and Wyatt Earp's gang
07:12take place?
07:14Well, I wanted to make a noise,
07:15so I'm going to say
07:17the OK Corral.
07:18CHEERING
07:19So, we're looking here,
07:26Ike Clanton on the left,
07:27a wrong'un,
07:28and Wyatt Earp,
07:30who, at that time of the photograph,
07:32was a marshal in Dodge City in Kansas.
07:34So, we've got the bad guys
07:35against the law guys,
07:37and we talk about the OK Corral,
07:39but where did it actually take place?
07:41Croydon.
07:41LAUGHTER
07:42The OK Corral was near Tombstone,
07:45wasn't it?
07:46Yeah.
07:46It actually took place
07:47in an empty lot
07:49next to a photo studio,
07:50and it should be called
07:51The Gunfight Outside Fly's
07:53Photographic Studio.
07:55LAUGHTER
07:56In fact, that picture
07:59that we showed of Clanton
08:00in Tombstone
08:01was almost certainly taken
08:03at Fly's Photographic Studio.
08:05So, The Gunfight did take place
08:061881 in Tombstone, Arizona,
08:07but when the newspapers
08:09wrote about it,
08:09the first thing they wrote
08:10was there was a fight
08:11on Fremont Street,
08:13and that lasted
08:14for about 50 years,
08:15and then Wyatt Earp
08:16published his biography
08:17in 1931,
08:19and that's when it became
08:20the fight at the OK Corral.
08:22So, it is remembered
08:23as a shootout
08:23between a group of lawmen
08:24and a gang of outlaws,
08:26although lots of the lawmen
08:27were a bit dodgy themselves.
08:29Here's the thing about it.
08:31There were 30 shots fired
08:32in the 30-second fight.
08:34How many people do you think died?
08:35They were only six feet apart,
08:37these people.
08:38All of them.
08:39No, three.
08:39They must have been really shit shots.
08:41Oh, God.
08:42LAUGHTER
08:42LAUGHTER
08:43Six feet apart,
08:4530 shots,
08:4530 seconds,
08:46three dead people.
08:47Doesn't seem like a very good...
08:48Who was shooting Brooker?
08:49LAUGHTER
08:50LAUGHTER
08:51LAUGHTER
08:51LAUGHTER
08:52LAUGHTER
08:53Brucker, no!
08:54I mean,
08:54come back, come back, come back, come back!
08:56LAUGHTER
08:57I'd have been in 30 seconds,
08:58I'd have still been trying to get it out of the old stuff.
09:00LAUGHTER
09:00Anyway, so get this out for me, mate,
09:02we're just...
09:02LAUGHTER
09:03I'll hold it, you pull the trigger, mate.
09:04LAUGHTER
09:06LAUGHTER
09:07LAUGHTER
09:08Now, here's some Wild West legends.
09:10Can you tell me how they got their nicknames?
09:13So, this is Wild Bill Hickok.
09:15Oh, is that how you say it?
09:17What did you think it was?
09:18Wild Bill Hickok.
09:19Yes.
09:20Oh.
09:21I mean, depends if he's wearing the chaps.
09:23LAUGHTER
09:27My little brother, when he was about six,
09:29he thought he was called Wild Bill Hickok.
09:31LAUGHTER
09:32So, his real name was James Butler Hickok.
09:34We're not sure, but it's possibly to do with a bit of teasing.
09:36So, some people said that he had a long nose
09:39and quite protruding lips and he looked a bit like a duck.
09:41That's real.
09:42LAUGHTER
09:43Yes.
09:44His nickname was...
09:45LAUGHTER
09:46LAUGHTER
09:47LAUGHTER
09:48LAUGHTER
09:49LAUGHTER
09:50LAUGHTER
09:51LAUGHTER
09:52LAUGHTER
09:53LAUGHTER
09:54LAUGHTER
09:55LAUGHTER
09:56He did have a really boring brother called Loretta.
09:59His name was Duck Bill, and he decided he didn't like Duck Bill,
10:00but he would be OK if it was Wild Bill.
10:02Has he not realised he's got, like, the wrong hat on for a cowboy?
10:05LAUGHTER
10:06I'm Cossack.
10:07Wild Bill Cossack.
10:08LAUGHTER
10:09Shut up, Duk Bill.
10:11Fuck you, man.
10:12I ain't Duck Bill.
10:13I'm Cossack.
10:13LAUGHTER
10:14LAUGHTER
10:15I'm starting a thing called Wikipedia,
10:18and you is going to be Duk Bill.
10:20LAUGHTER
10:26Lorenzo, who used to be known as Tame Bill.
10:29Tame Bill.
10:30LAUGHTER
10:31But it did kind of predict what was going to happen
10:33while Bill was shot in the back while playing cards when he was just 39.
10:36And old Lorenzo, Tame Bill, lived into his 80s.
10:39I'm just saying.
10:40The next one is called Big Nose Kate.
10:42Oh.
10:43LAUGHTER
10:44Which one do you think is Big Nose?
10:46LAUGHTER
10:47Hopefully normal noses so far.
10:49I know, right?
10:50It's like you've got to go to VAR on this.
10:52LAUGHTER
10:53Is it referring to another part of their announcement?
10:58LAUGHTER
11:00So, which one do you think?
11:01So, one is her sister Wilma, and one is Big Nose Kate.
11:04Kate's on the left.
11:05Kate is on the left, yes.
11:07I mean, some people say it's because she used to stick her nose in other people's business.
11:11She was the long-term companion of Doc Holliday.
11:15She was with him at the gunfight at the OK Corral, or the photographic studio,
11:19watching from a nearby window.
11:21I'd do that.
11:22Would you just watch?
11:23LAUGHTER
11:24I'd go to the window if I heard a gunfight.
11:26Yeah.
11:27She worked as a sporting woman.
11:28Anybody?
11:29Is that like a brass?
11:30Is that a prostitute?
11:31It is a prostitute, yes, yes.
11:33Is that like a brass?
11:35LAUGHTER
11:36What a team we are.
11:40LAUGHTER
11:41Get that on a BBC poster.
11:43LAUGHTER
11:44APPLAUSE
11:45The BBC for everyone.
11:47LAUGHTER
11:48There are other ones.
11:49Richard Rattlesnake Dick Barter.
11:50Ooh!
11:51What?
11:52Rattlesnake Dick.
11:53Rattlesnake Dick.
11:54Rattlesnake Dick.
11:55Rattlesnake Dick.
11:56Rattlesnake Dick.
11:57Rattlesnake Dick.
11:58What a nickname that is.
11:59That is good.
12:00At the urinal.
12:01I can hear him.
12:02LAUGHTER
12:03Rattlesnake Dick Barter.
12:04Oh!
12:05What?
12:06Rattlesnake Dick.
12:07Rattlesnake Dick.
12:08Rattlesnake Dick.
12:09What a nickname that is.
12:10That is good.
12:11At the urinal.
12:12I can hear him.
12:13LAUGHTER
12:14LAUGHTER
12:15APPLAUSE
12:19Richard's gone to the toilet couldn't he?
12:20LAUGHTER
12:21Yeah!
12:22LAUGHTER
12:23Good, Richard.
12:24Do it again!
12:25LAUGHTER
12:26RattlesnakeCAGP
12:28You're at the Rattlesnake mine where he kept telling everybody he was going to make his fortune.
12:33Okay, next question. What use is a square wagon wheel?
12:38Stopped me rolling away
12:40That is a very good point, but in this case wagon is a person's name
12:44so in 1997 there was a professor called Stan Wagon at
12:49McAllister College in Minnesota, and he made a functioning square wheeled
12:54Tricycle, okay, this is not him. This is a man who I don't know in a suit
12:58And he's called Stan Wagon the guy who invented is called Stan Wagon. Did JK Rowling name him like what?
13:08So in order for a wheel to work at all the center has to be level right and so the easiest way is to make a round wheel
13:15But if you make a specific track so you can see he's on a very specific track here
13:19Then the wheels can be any shape pretty much apart from
13:22Triangles really so look at this right?
13:24This is a rather brilliant bus, but it doesn't go anywhere because it's got square wheels
13:29however, if you make a surface like this
13:34Which has got what these humps are called inverted catenaries and basically look
13:41Along it goes like that. I know so the reason this is interesting
13:46There's an engineer called Gerard Font and he thinks because stones with very similar curves were found in Giza
13:53This method may have been what helped people to roll the blocks into place for the pyramids
13:58So I guess you can see it's kind of pointless, but it's also interesting. Yeah, how did they do that?
14:03But not that road there looks like every 20 mile an hour zone you're a school anyway. Yeah, that is so true
14:10Isn't it fascinating would it be great to have a car with square wheels? I just really like it. I really don't think it would know
14:15It's just me I like a square wagon wheel. That's just the way I roll
14:33Thank you and I appreciate that right let's move on to a question about wondrous wealth in which state was the first American gold rush
14:42Wasn't it like California?
14:48Oh
14:50Arizona, Nevada
15:00We're talking about 1799 the United States is newly formed. Oh, so it's got to be over to the east. Yeah, New York State
15:07We have another 46 to go so
15:14I'm gonna stop you there North Carolina was the very first time
15:18So there's a child playing called Conrad Reed and he found a nugget of gold described as the size of a shoe
15:25And for three years the family used it as a doorstop
15:28So 1799 they find this thing they keep it as a doorstop for three years and then his father thought I wonder what I could get for it
15:35He took it along to silversmith and he got three dollars and fifty cents. It was actually worth
15:42$3,600
15:44I mean at the time right they found out that they had been
15:48Rooked so they thought oh, let's go look for some more and over the next 20 years. They found a hundred thousand dollars worth of gold
15:55This is a hundred thousand dollars at the time. I mean we're talking millions damn
15:58Yeah, and basically it was just what they could find in the river
16:01There were no actual mineshafts dug until the 1830s
16:04So the geezer who bought it off and didn't go by the way just out of interest where'd you?
16:08Yeah, have you got any
16:10The California gold rush doesn't come until 1849
16:14What is the most successful method that people used to make their fortune in the California gold rush?
16:21Probably selling things to the gold rushers sell supplies to the prospectors
16:25Absolutely the very first American millionaire was a journalist and also a shopkeeper called sam brannan
16:31And someone came into his store with a lump of gold and instead of looking for gold himself
16:35He bought all of the shovels and pickaxes and so on and went out into the town shouting
16:40There's gold in them there hills and everybody came he bought pans for 20 cents, which he then sold for 15 dollars
16:47There are accounts of single lemons selling for a dollar
16:51Which is about 40 dollars today because people were frightened about getting scurvy a single pair of boots today in our money
16:59$2,300 and one farmer earned the equivalent of a hundred and sixty thousand dollars in 1849 just selling onions like disney
17:07They get you with the merch didn't they?
17:09Yeah
17:1125 meters they know
17:13Now who has been unfairly called a glutton for as long as we can remember is it me?
17:26Can I just say you're looking very beautiful fuck off yeah
17:32Genuinely true I told a friend of mine that I wanted to go on a weight loss kick
17:36And she said to me yeah, but you're so handsome. I've got that that's got nothing to do with it
17:40She was in her own way in a woman's way saying yeah, you should
17:46My stepdad keith went on a diet and he's a big old geezer and he just wasn't losing any weight
17:51And my mum went he's trying so hard bless him and he ain't losing any weight
17:55And then one day he said he was going out to get the papers and when I look back on the cctv on the door
18:01I saw him around the side of the house smashing fish and chips
18:05It's the sort of thing where I could have gone up to him privately gone
18:07Hey mate look I know you've been smashing the fish and chips inside
18:11Not me I wait until everyone was in the house
18:16My mum my in-laws and I got the ipad out and I went here's the evidence
18:23I don't know which is weirder him doing that are you watching it
18:25I'm just trying to go just trying to be in a calorie deficit really and it's not working so
18:40Oh you poor thing it's very boring doing calorie. Oh, that's why I've stopped
18:47We are talking about the wild life of the wild west anybody think if it's a w
18:52new particular creature in the wild west a warthog no
19:00I don't think of a single movie where a cowboy goes oh my lord it's a warthog
19:06We've got three different versions of the lion kid
19:08So not a wallaby then no no no
19:15the wolverine was well how would we get how that isn't it magnificent do you not think
19:22its range reached down the american west as far as california's sierra nevada
19:26I thought it was hugh jackman yeah so did I
19:30I think it's been to a dentist in turkey as well
19:38Don't you think it looks weird when people's teeth are that perfect
19:43That's why mine are all yellow with bits of green stuff in them
19:47It's nice to keep a bit of salad for later
19:49So 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 but it's a mistranslation
20:02So the old norwegian for a wolverine was fjellfrås which means mountain cat
20:08It was translated into german as a rather similar sounding of vjellfrås which means eats a lot
20:13Oh
20:15It's not fair one nickname sticks
20:17I know right
20:20There are stories that it eats so much it forces its feces out of its body to make more space
20:27We've all been there boxing day
20:31Join in after eight hang on i've got to go to the loo
20:37Does anybody eat after eights at any other time other than boxing day just after lunch
20:41I have some on my coffee table so i have it pretty much every night
20:43How's that net deficit going?
20:50Every time you meet someone who says oh i'm trying to lose weight and then the next sentence yeah
20:55I always have after eights
20:59The whole thing just one
21:00No one has one after eight it's the single most moorish thing in the world
21:04I've got really good self-control actually
21:06Well i can't think why there's a problem
21:14So they are amazing creatures they're really adapted to snowy mountainous conditions
21:19But what is incredible about them so when they step onto the snow
21:22Their paws spread out to twice the original size so it's like having a built-in snowshoes
21:27And each paw has got five extremely sharp claws
21:30So they can climb a sheer cliff or an icefall or whatever they have an extraordinary keen sense of smell
21:36So they can smell prey 20 feet under the snow
21:39Why might that be a good thing?
21:42Because that's where prey hides
21:45It's where prey hibernates
21:48They never even see it coming
21:50And they also use snow a bit like refrigerators for keeping food fresh
21:54They have special teeth these are not from turkey these are their own teeth
21:57Special teeth at the back of the jaws which are rotated 90 degrees to the rest
22:02So that they can crunch frozen food
22:04That's something you could get that darling
22:08What is happening?
22:11You wouldn't have to defrost
22:12Yeah just go straight in Iceland

24:11Neither John Denver nor Bill nor Taffy who wrote the song had ever been to West Virginia when they
24:17recorded this song and they chose it because it's got loads of poetic sounding landmarks like the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River
24:24But they're mostly actually in Virginia I mean really the song should be called it's about the west of Virginia
24:29There was a brief while they thought about using Massachusetts to fill in the four syllable gap in the song
24:34You know the wonderful song Moon River
24:36By Johnny Mercer it's got a great line in it my Huckleberry friend
24:39It's one of the kind of great lyrics of all time
24:41And Huckleberry was a placeholder by Johnny Mercer when he was writing it
24:45Because he wanted that sound
24:48And he thought i'll just put that in for a moment
24:50And then they recorded it and it has now become one of the great lyrics of all time

25:28Which company was formed in 1850 by Henry Wells and William G Fargo?
25:35Wells Fargo
25:37They did set up Wells Fargo
25:44But not in 1850
25:46Yeah 1852 they set that up
25:49What did they set up first?
25:52Fargo and Wells

26:02McDonald's
26:03Coca-Cola
26:04It's American Express
26:09Along with a man called John Butterworth in 1850
26:11They set up American Express to deliver goods around the east coast
26:14And the Wells Fargo company was created to move goods around the west
26:19Basically it was profiting from the gold rush
26:21American Express
26:22Extraordinary
26:22By the end of the Civil War
26:23900 offices in 10 states
26:26Almost 10,000 miles of railway and express routes
26:29The largest empire of stagecoaches in the world
26:32And they made an absolute fortune
26:35In fact when Fargo died
26:37His home was so expensive to maintain they knocked it down
26:40Whoa
26:41Yeah
26:41The largest city in North Dakota is called Fargo

26:58Well I think Joe you will like Henry Wells
27:01He believed in the education of women
27:03And you have to understand how rare this is
27:05He described the education of women as the dream of his life
27:15He said it is commonly said that women's mind is not capable
27:18Of attaining to a higher order of discipline
27:21Not acknowledging this let me say give her the opportunity
27:26Yeah
