Hi everyone, welcome to this week's episode of No Switch Thinkers of Fish, where we are joined by one of our favorite

favorite people in the world, Rosie Jones. Now those of you in the UK will not need to hear an introduction for Rosie because she is one of the great

comedians of our time. Any of you who've watched QI, which I know is a lot of you will recognize her. She's been on all sorts of stuff.

So she kind of came into the limelight on the last leg and worked on the Paralympic. She'll hear a lot about that in this show.

She's a writer as well. She wrote for the Netflix show Sex Education. She's written a brilliant children's book called The Amazing E.D.

Eckhart, which is about an 11-year-old with cerebral palsy. She's just an all-round, very, very funny person.

And I really, really hope you'll enjoy this week's show. I'm absolutely certain you will. It's one of my favorites that we've ever done, I think.

If you want to see Rosie in real life, then I think her tour has, I think it's literally just started maybe this week.

And if you want to go and see that, you can go to rosyjonescomedy.com and all the dates are up there. Rosie is R-O-S-I-E.

And that's all to say, really. I really hope you enjoy this show with Rosie and on with the podcast.

Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Hobern.

My name is Dan Schreiber. I'm sitting here with James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, and Rosie Jones.

And once again, we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days, and in no particular order, here we go.

Starting with fact number one, that is my fact. My fact this week is that the world's greatest Paralympic equestrian with 14 gold medals under his belt is also allergic to horses.

That's not his Paralympic qualification. That's not the disability that means, OK, OK.

Absolutely, no, it's not. So, yeah, this is an extraordinary guy called Lee Pearson, who has over the years 114 gold medals, a bunch of bronze and silver along the way as well.

And he's just an amazing character, generally. I'll mention a couple of things, but I'm really excited to ask whether or not you've met him because I know you've been to the Paralympics, right?

But so he's the kind of guy who says like, my training is curry Malibu and Coke. And you know, and he loves to party and he's got a life story, which is, you know, he was born and put into a broom cupboard as soon as he was born.

We've got to say, OK, we've got to, yeah, can I take this?

So he was born with a condition, which I've never heard of before, it's called a thyrographed, griposis, multiplex congenitor. I think I've said that right.

I think that was known when he was born and he wasn't looked after especially well by the hospital he was in. So he was put into a cupboard for a few days in a, you know, sort of a crib thing.

And his mum was heavily sedated so that they didn't know she was trying to find out where he was when she eventually came around.
