Set 2, Game 9 - No More Jockeys [24.09.20]

[@ArtMorte]

"Bye bye, thicko!" is a brave sending off for someone with Key's record in the game.

[@HammGaming]

Glad to see my favourite category making an appearance: No more people, who, you buy a new pot from John Lewis, and then you write all the names, all the letters of the name in a pen, on stamps, then take them out of the pot, and then you put them on your table, and you can arrange them, and there's a chance, HOWEVER SMALL, that you're landing up at the word 'Robe'.

[@johncole5893]

Hey, that is my favoruite category as well.

[@bazh6041]

Has to be a contender for next round of merch

[@neil1865]

One of my go-to Guess Who questions is "Is it someone who, when you think of them, you buy a new pot from John Lewis, and then you write all the names, all the letters of the name in a pen, on stamps, then take them out of the pot, and then your put them on your table, and you can arrange them, and there's a chance, HOWEVER SMALL, that you're landing up at the word 'Robe'?" It's always nice to find out whether it's Robert or not as soon as possible.

[@nathan87]

Can't believe it never came up before

[@PaddyRoon7]

The sort of category that karl pilkington would come up with. Would certainly be different if you asked him to repeat it, too.

[@Anonymouse85]

I love how Alex went from wearing a fancy suit for a full set to wearing... that.

[@franksimon8375]

And what is it

[@BodywiseMustard]

He looks great.

[@SgtLion]

Damn, feeling for Key here. I feel he brought his A-game, the glasses meant business, so rooting for him today. Truly gutted.

[@andrewanyplace]

I was fully expecting a win for Key when I saw his game face in the thumbnail.

[@lnfreeman]

Wow. The instant reaction from both Alex and Tim when Mark swears is juicy!

[@maryjo3255]

Around 15:25

[@dannymashh]

This is genuinely what I look forward to the most these days

[@bazh6041]

They really pushed through some categories that, when you think about them, were incredibly tricky this week. Hands down one of the most cerebral matches I can remember in a long while. Feeling for Key now, overall a far higher standard of play than the first set, yet never quite crossing the finish line. Horne still well out of form. Watson in danger of running away with it. As Kylie Minogue once said, "the scoreline is a bit flattering really".

[@VideoNozoki]

I think you'll find that was "Stanley Minogue" who said that.

[@alanbeavan6229]

Speaking of hands down, get your hands down

[@davidcollins9512]

OVER....

[@jacksonjackson297]

Been looking at the merch. I definitely think they are missing a t-shirt saying "No more people, who, you buy a new pot from John Lewis, and then you write all the names, all the letters of the name in a pen, on stamps, then take them out of the pot, and then you put them on your table, and you can arrange them, and there's a chance, HOWEVER SMALL, that you're landing up at the word 'Robe' " Back to the game, Key cruelly undone by the hiatus and probably the secret, silent N at the end of Clinton.

[@jacksonjackson297]

Also, does anyone find those Grammarly adverts on KZbin incredibly annoying? Something in the disgusted way the voiceover lady says "wordy" really gets my goat. Wordiness is alright isn't it? Or should i say, verbosity is sufficiently cromulent isnt it?

[@ym10up]

They have merch!? That's exciting news!!

[@MB-xw1tu]

I need one that is the reverse of the versions they have (which I definitely don't mind) naming penelope pitstop and listing all the categories key has used her for.

[@adammonk89]

A fantastic in game relocation by Key at 20:35 . You love to see it

[@gryrabild]

This one was loads of fun. I like Mark dropping a quiet “fuck off” in the middle of it. Very good outfits this week too!

[@slothrr776]

Dress code this week: TV Poker Players. Winner: Horne.

[@papamoloch]

hahaha this is excellent

[@peacefulpaul]

Key’s shades worth an honourable mention…

[@ursulageorgeson7086]

I wish this was a free podcast it's so good to have on in the background, like having friends must be. When you think about it.

[@BodywiseMustard]

It is. Just get revanced and it's ad-free and background playable

[@ianlacey]

Tim was on fire there for a while just before the break. Hope we see more of that in the future.

[@Zavala1]

I love how Key keeps coming back to snooker personalities from the late 90s/00s. Nothing is more comforting to me to hear names like Ebdon, Davis, Higgins and Tabb.

[@declup]

Snooker must be pretty popular in the UK, far more than pool in the US at least, since I hear references to snooker constantly on panel shows.

[@savagehenry8286]

Oh it’s wallpaper. For the past two contests I had assumed Mr Horne was still camping.

[@gladtobeangry]

Key having one of his more competitive games here, starting with a very conservative serve, dangerously swerving through a Penelope Pitstop, but keeping it together, through a hiatus. It was determination and diligence that finally brought it home for Watto, but that was some excellent No More Jockeying from both players. Horne didn't show any desire to win here. I mean the outfit...you're not putting that on if you're in it to win it.

Tim Key played so well this time, I really wanted him to win this one.

[@BigHeadWinter]

I don’t think I’ve laughed as much in a while when that pot category came up!

[@MichaelCoombes776]

And then immediately after that, "guess what I had for breakfast", "WHEATOS!", "roast chicken and half a doughnut.". "Judas Iscariot!". What a strange passage of play.

[@lnfreeman]

Did Mawaan Rizwan style Alex for this one? Love the Astroboy jacket. Love the coordination of highlighter yellow cap with highlighter yellow beer with highlighter yellow eyes.

[@rkah6187]

Thing is, it would look amazing on Mawaan but Alex can't quite pull it off.

[@michaellee8816]

Does anyone when these videos load up look at how long they are and use it as a guide to how quickly Key is knocked out?

Also Kelly Clarkson - Remove the y, for Kell (eg Kell Brook the boxer)

Be is still a verb. The very next go Watto played Gary Lineker. Line can be a verb, as in I am going to line my curtains with another material to help keep sunlight off my telly.
