No More Jockeys: Live - Game 1 [19.02.21] (with Alex Horne, Tim Key + Mark Watson)

[@NoMoreJockeys]

🦄 Join us for some hi-octane, balls-out action that is the final live game on Thursday 6 May. 🎟 link.dice.fm/ybLiobM6Lfb

I can only hope that “balls-out action” doesn’t require photo proof found within 90 seconds?

Key was messing up by counting subheaders on the wikipedia articles as hyperlinks. He could've just done: Joan Bakewell -> BBC Radio 4 -> List of BBC Radio 4 Programmes -> Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better but since you might argue that doesn't count: Joan Bakewell -> University of Cambridge -> List of University of Cambridge People -> Mark Watson

[@midleton92]

Also Joan Bakewell -> Stephen Mangan -> 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown -> Tim Key. There were a lot of ways to do it. Neil Kinnock also worked because he linked to Have I got news for you.

There are 22 different ways you can get from Joan Bakewell to Mark Watson in 3 clicks, according to a website I am not advertising but which will do this for you (I think my comment got deleted for linking? It's just a webtoy I found). Also: 39 ways to get to Tim Key, 30 ways to get to Alex Horne. That's 91 ways for that challenge to succeed... and yet.

[@nathan87]

Horne definitely had the right idea, though. BBC Radio 4 would have done it.

Joan Bakewell has a link to Frank Skinner, who has Horne on his Wikipedia page. I've done the work.

The subchapters on Wikipedia are not hyperlinks! On a computer they don't need to be clicked at all, therefore the click count was completely wrong.

Mark yelling "treats" out the window has me in tears 🤣

[@samc7634]

Weird watching this sober tbh. Other than sharp shoes and Serena Williams I remembered very little of the actual game and A LOT more nonsense... Really gives you a whole new appreciation for Haiminh's editing prowess.

[@leileleileleile]

I wonder if 10:37 is inspiration for that Taskmaster banter section where Horne does the same thing with his finger?

[@pemo2676]

well when you think about it, his finger clicking in general is probably the thing that inspired the section on taskmaster and not the fact it's included on no more jockeys, if you really think about it.

[@Thorpefan]

The whole 'Alex being on the left' thing going on is messing with my brain.

[@northwall9243]

"Big might" Wow Key, that's fresh. You love to see it.

[@michaelbartmeier9016]
