Set 1, Game 5 - No More Jockeys [28.05.20]

[@markdavis8444]

An important episode. We hear "job gloves" for the first time and we start to establish some rules. This game will go down in history.

[@kyleacab4483]

also 1st time we see watto cheating his ass off before he learned to go outside to do it... 🧐

[@doomdoomdoom1016]

Is this the first Penelope Pitstop as well? And Hancock?! This episode is like the Beatles of No More Jockeys episodes.

It will certainly be remembered as one of the episodes in set 1

Lmao. But actually I'm with him on this. I mean you can participate in a sports tournament without being a professional athlete. If her parents are rich and bought her into the wacky races, she can compete without being a professional racing driver.

Great catch and thanks for the timestamp!

[@SnoodyMcFlude]

@@yaya-mk3nn I dunno, I always pictured her as a socialite racjng for fun on her own dime rather than being a professional. A Michael Fassbander rather than Michael Schumacher if you will.

[@yaya-mk3nn]

SnoodyMcFlude i would say that the biggest flaw in that argument is that her surname is literally “pitstop”

[@SnoodyMcFlude]

@@yaya-mk3nn pure coincidence. Like someone called Carpenter who, when you think of them, works in a bank but makes furniture in their spare time. Given how few paid drives there are in motorsport I don't think that's unreasonable...or perhaps she changed her name, like the ex-BTCC driver John B&Q

[@PaddyRoon7]

I've nearly become numb to the phrase "job gloves" at this point, but whenever I watch this ep, it's just as funny as the first time lol

[@chriskaprys]

My choice stand-in for Watson would be Bob Mortimer. Not that he's equivalent or because I wouldn't want Watson there, just to hear the stuff that would come out of Mortimer's mouth when paired up with Key and Horne trying to play this game. E.g. "Tom Clancy: no more names that would probably smell like school supplies."

[@mayanganggarani]

I immediately remember the strawberry-rubbery scent of my childhood’s fancy eraser, now in the shape of Tom Clancy.

[@rooreynolds2386]

Flo Harper that would be Joe Cornish. He, Adam Buxton and Louis Theroux are old friends who went to school together, before Adam and Joe worked together.

[@TudorH56]

Hope the no google before challenging rule is established from this point moving forward. There doesn't seem to be any risk in challenging anyway?

[@EckoTrustSkulk]

I would like to see some kind of consequence to challenging. I would like to see a bigger emphasis on probing for challenges (think like when Alex Horne wanted to go with Mo Salah in a previous episode but it was a two letter word so it was invalid) and then challenges would always get one person out. It could need a bit of balancing, maybe two strikes or three a player, because the banter is great. But it'd add tension and stakes to challenges, where now, challenges can be thrown without a second thought.

[@BethanyLowe8773]

I thought there was a Three wrong challenges and you're out rule?

[@DevilboyScooby]

I agree with Key, challenging after you've Googled would be like a tennis player challenging a call having watched the VT back several times- unfair.

Re- watching these prior to set 5 and just wondering what on earth Horne googled. 2 seconds effort and Roy Hattersley Italy finds an article he wrote about watching Aida in Verona, having left Lake Garda to do so, both places which, last time I checked, were in Italy. Shoddy research. Why pick Rome when anywhere in the country would do? Did he regret the early challenge and deliberately throw it away? I guess we'll never know.

According to Wikipedia, Herod Archelaus was the successor to Herod the Great. While both were technically "King Herod," that name would normally refer to Herod the Great, not Herod Archelaus. I think that should have failed the mononymous test. Great game and love the videos!

[@SamuelGeist]

Herod the Great was Herod Antipas or Herod Antipater. Herod the Tetrarch (ruler of a quarter) was, interestingly, never actually King of anything.

[@shanearlington7450]

@@SamuelGeist according to Wikipedia (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas), Herod the Great was the father of Herod Antipas, who was referred to as King Herod in the New Testament despite never being king. If, then, that was who was meant, my challenge would fail. However, Herod the Great was actually a king, and so far as I can tell had no second name - if he was the king referred to, then I think the challenge stands.
