14 分钟Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish presents the World Cup of Facts brought to you by VisitEngland.com.
This is a football podcast in which we make absolutely no mention of football whatsoever.
We are the QI Elbs, my name is Dan, I'm sitting here with Jack,
Anna and James and once again we're pitting two countries against each other to find out who the most quite interesting is and today those countries are Cameroon versus Chili.
We're gonna start with Cameroon so let's go.
Yeah I read something really interesting.
During the Great Depression in 1931 the people of Cameroon clubbed together to collect money to send to the starving Americans and they managed to send over a total of three dollars seventy seven cents.
I love that fact that's amazing.
You could buy a bagel for that.
It would have been worth more though wouldn't it?
Three dollars.
Yeah probably two bagels.
Two bagels.
Yeah I'm not sure it would have brought them out of extreme depression but yeah.
It probably would have made them more depressed the idea that Cameroon was sending them money.
Yeah.
Like wow that's how bad it's got.
Yeah how times have changed because and so I'm kind of interested by the president of Cameroon,
Paul Beer, who's been president since 1982.
Paul Beer.
