He's too talented a speaker and comedian; I'm confident he knows what, ahem, holes he's digging. He may not know where the panelists will go through them, exactly (he probably has _some_ idea), but he knows what he's doing.
There is a story of the women's Chinese Olympic race walking team where the pace-keeper out-walked the team leader. Other teams were beating them, so the leader and the rest of the team quit the race. The pace-keeper continued and won the race. However, because the team leader wasn't the winner, the team ostracized the pace-keeper, who ended up celebrating with the Australian team instead.
As they've ignored our requests for years, I'm guessing never. Strange as many other sites much smaller than them have them or at least the auto generated ones which are the next best thing. Some even put their own subtitles in the video itself as well as allowing auto generated ones. Sad, really.
if you have to drink your own pee unfiltered, something went terribly wrong and you wont last long anyways, pee is like salt water and might contain stuff the body wants out of the system, not a good idea to drink anyones' pee
Drinking yourself won't help. Ignoring all the waste and bacteria that your body has just gone through the effort to expel, the water is going to be too salty to get much hydration out of. And even if you purify it each time, it would be quickly diminishing returns because thats only where a portion of the water you drink goes. And by the time you're really dehydrated, you probably won't be able to get much liquid of any sort that way.

Here's the actual history of Race Walking: In Roman times in the Coliseum during a long distance running event one of the runners suddenly experienced a terrible case of diarrhea. Not wanting to lose the race and embarrass himself by shitting all over the course, he tightened his anus and continued on as best he could sort of running & sort of walking. Unfortunately he didn't make it all the way to the finish before explosively & nastily staining the course. The dignitaries and the audience couldn't stop laughing finding it terribly funny & entertaining. The emperor who was in attendance ordered that the event be included in the games thereafter with the runners made to eat very spicy & slightly rotten food that would ensure a good show. Whoever made it to the finish line regardless of time without messing themselves were praised & invited to banquets & fed similar fair for private races. Believe it or not!
First of only two rules of walking: Contact: The athlete must never have both feet off the ground at once. So sick of this show giving false answers for no apparent reason.

Just watched the episode with Bear Grylls, it was excellent! Well done Stephen!
If the thumbnail features Stephen with his head in his hands, I know I have to watch 😂
"After 45 minutes the arse was completely ripped out of my trousers and I couldn't walk."
Just an everyday account of time with Bear Grylls.

I am starting to cry-laugh and I haven't even started the clip yet.
Bless You Stephen!!
Stephen really needs to brush up his awareness of the law of holes: "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging".
'But my innuendo ladder will get me out of this.
Watch as I whip it out......'
He's too talented a speaker and comedian; I'm confident he knows what, ahem, holes he's digging. He may not know where the panelists will go through them, exactly (he probably has _some_ idea), but he knows what he's doing.
Or maybe it's a case of when Stephen digs a hole for himself, he uses both hands!
This clip is appropriately titled, because Stephen's Bear Grylls story is by far the best part of it.
"Arse luge"! 😂
New Olympic sport ?
There is a story of the women's Chinese Olympic race walking team where the pace-keeper out-walked the team leader. Other teams were beating them, so the leader and the rest of the team quit the race. The pace-keeper continued and won the race. However, because the team leader wasn't the winner, the team ostracized the pace-keeper, who ended up celebrating with the Australian team instead.
Oh dear, when is QI going to add subtitles to their clips?
An excellent question. Hard to hear some answers/queries because they're all so intent on interrupting and upstaging one another.
As they've ignored our requests for years, I'm guessing never. Strange as many other sites much smaller than them have them or at least the auto generated ones which are the next best thing. Some even put their own subtitles in the video itself as well as allowing auto generated ones. Sad, really.
If I were put in a survival situation with bear grylls, I'd rather just face the eternal music than drink my own pee... :P
You can always procure a mug of ocelot pee and use that to toast the king.
If I were in a genuine survival situation with Bear Grylls, I'd spend my time praying for Ray Mears to turn up out of the blue...
if you have to drink your own pee unfiltered, something went terribly wrong and you wont last long anyways, pee is like salt water and might contain stuff the body wants out of the system, not a good idea to drink anyones' pee
@@twocvbloke If you're ever in a survival situation with Bear Grylls, there's probably a film crew nearby with some spare water. 😏

Here in America we call that speed walking and it's for older people to get exercise instead oh running
The front leg must be straight when it contacts the ground.
No refreshments except from approved sources.
Does this mean that Hal was wrong about that guy he couldn't beat was a race Walker and not a 'common jogger'
This always seemed like a very silly approach to me, but then, racewalking is a very silly sport. So I guess it fits.
Race walkers ruin their hips so badly since its so unnatural to maintain the motion for hours
