Great opening category, a lot of fun. The whole "No more men, then no more women, checkmate" thing is interesting (outside of the existence of NB people), I think to counter that, you could have a self-destruct rule. If a player genuinely believes that, after a category was issued, there are no more valid plays, they can say so, and it's up to the other player to name one final person. If the person who set the category cannot think of anybody, or they think of someone who is challenged, then the self-destructing player wins. Otherwise, the category setter wins. It would keep the spirit of the game, which is narrowing categories but still keeping a sliver of people available. Of course, when you really think about it, I find it likely this rule will never come up anyway.

This episode brought about musical classics like: "Whooah Kitchen conversions" "Sometimes we see silhouettes and sometimes we see colours" "My watch is the same size as my head" And "pour it on your head" The no more jockeys EP, out soon...
This was a true BTL treat. A whole new pre-game game, one of the best opening gambits of all time, and a song about silhouettes which is still in my head. When you really stop to think about it, I don’t mind it at all.
Apologies to everyone in my household who have to put up with me shouting at what appears to be someone else's Zoom calls. Especially this week when I did that... a lot.
I did not realise someone was within earshot when I reacted to Key's opener - I wish I had that information at the time, because my family are definitely judging me.
I would have put money on Watson being first out with his added culinary distractions at the beginning. Just goes to show you can't stifle a natural flair for the game. In the same way I imagine Ronnie O'Sullivan would still wipe the floor with an opponent whilst discussing the finer points of his proposed barn conversion with a contractor, gripping his phone using his shoulder.
Watto:"I am just going to spoon the balls onto them." Alex: "Better" The sheer tenacy of him insisting that these should not be called MEATballs is just fascinating.
Ye, people seem to have a real problem with that for some reason. Yet no one bats an eye when 'bbq rib' or 'chicken' flavour crisps, are actually vegetarian. Weird.
"meat-free meatballs" = "balls" is more a mathematical joke than something puritanical or carnivorous. I support meat-free sausages and chicken-flavoured things and all the rest, but "meatballs" is a bad name for a meatless ball.
@@AlexRoseGames a vegy meatball might taste like meat though. Fail to see the difference in my comparison. Crisps and many other product are simply labelled as 'chicken' or 'beef', why's that different to calling a meat flavoured vegetarian ball of food a 'meatball'?
Some great banter in this one. Key totally knew the Banksy challenge as soon as Horne said him, then was trying (not super hard) to avoid obviously giving it away to Watto. I wasn't sure on Banksy myself, I know he came up before but could only remember when his category was not accepted on the grounds of job gloves. I'm glad Watto got it, and that Key knew it. Even if they're pissed 50% of the time, some of it sticks.
I don't think you can deny it that - when you REALLY think about it - your friend and mine, No More Jockeys, has become the new thing I fall asleep to.
I remember when Jon Hamm was on Travel Man with Richard Ayoade, and when Hamm was on 'The Last Leg' so I thought you might have crossed paths at some time. Jon Hamm was also on the Graham Norton Show, "Toast of London"(TV series) with Matt Berry (IT Crowd), "Black Mirror"(TV series). Hamm was in "Good Omens" (with David Tennent and Michael Sheen), Hamm was in "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret" (which also had Sara Pascoe, John Bishop, James Doherty, Peter Serafinowicz, Matt King (Peep Show)). Jon Hamm did collaborations with Charlie Brooker, Mark Chappell, Alan Connor, and Shaun Pye; also in "A Young Doctor’s Notebook" opposite Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter).
A game for the history books. And, it further illustrates that Key is the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon of the No More Jockeys universe. No, he didn't win. But, perhaps, to him, it's more about the skill and beauty of the game. Bravo, men. Bravo.
I think Watto meant that he's going with Moss because if he went with someone no one knows, i.e. his personal friend, then it wouldn't be a fun game for the viewers
(Elizabeth Moss) who was on "The West Wing", "Mad Men", "Top Of The Lake", "Us", "The Invisible Man", "The Handmaid's Tale" - with here multiple Golden Globes, Emmys, BAFTA Award, Empire Award, Screen Actors Guild Awards, among others... Elizabeth Moss is pretty famous. She's played on Broadways & the West End, (she holds dual British - American citizenship too)
@@MsKatyDod as a 21 year old brits who’s watch The West Wing, Us and The Handmaids Tale, I don’t think that can be true! Made they three of them are just not big fans of American dramas😂

Absolutely brilliant stuff guys, as always. Glad I got here before you decided you had let enough people see the video and took it down. Has really helped me weather lockdown.
Is this the first time an episode has featured a song from Holst's The Planets in the background? I only know it from Bluey but it made this episode of NMJ all that more emotionally impactful. Well done.

Genuinely gasped at Key's opening play. One of the greatest players of all time.
If only Key remembered the categories! He's played some great ones this set.
He's gotta be top 3 for sure, I really don't mind him.
Love it when Dan states the obvious.
He’s definitely in the top 3
WHAT WHY ARE YOU HERE
"I might have been in the car behind you"
"Is that what you get when you eat potatoes? "
"Carbohydrates"
How they got from A to B there... Mindblowing
The joy in keys face when 2 sons is mentioned to the anguish of 'and 1 daughter' was priceless
Needs to be a gif
Well but cruelly played by Watto there.
Why did they interrupt that kickass game of kitchen conversions to play that weird other game?
I think I remember your profile picture (TISM). you're Henning from James acasters Lahnsteineringa!
I was just happily watching when suddenly some lemon juice drips on my head.
Admittedly, I'm new to all this, but... Overhearing Key politely ordering his room-service beer was a seminal moment for me.
"Yeah it's lucky that you got your TV format"
Surprisingly brutal from the usually mild mannered Watto. Don't mind it actually.
Yeah, I was thinking that! I think since Game 5 they've all gone a bit feral.
He's right, I don't mind kitchen conversions.
I'm yet to be converted to it.
WOOOAHHH kitchen conversions!
Perfect format for Radio 4 I reckon.

"Whooah Kitchen conversions"
"Sometimes we see silhouettes and sometimes we see colours"
"My watch is the same size as my head"
And "pour it on your head"
The no more jockeys EP, out soon...
With a bonus track "Whoops, I'm unconscious for most of my life!"
The Japanese limited release will feature “Your hand is touching your one!”
Including the absolute sing-along banger “In it goes - yum yum yum”
"Buck wheat noodles, here's the man for you..."
These are all absolute bangers! I can't believe I missed them first time around.
A truly great game. Was sure Banksy had been said before. Below the line doing the work on that one.
I'm pretty sure that Plato was mentioned before as well and Mark could've been challenged on it very early on.
"Don't call it a cheating device."

The thing about Watto is sometimes he’s in silhouette and sometimes he’s in colour

Great delivery from Watson with the Sibling Stinger. Razor sharp execution
“...and one daughter!” Classic NMJ.
I've just taken out a monster from my pants and slung it at the screen is a phrase I will be utilising in future.
"He's run from the back, of COURSE he's got three kids"
The episode that spawned the most excellent of RUclips show companion websites
Wow. Massive opener from Key.
I've always wondered how it would go if this was a rule! Only just started the vid but very excited to see how this goes :)
Also I think the new category for BTL should be "No more people who accuse Watto of cheating"
I can't keep watching him go through this 😅
Name another
Key coming in HOT to start this game. Four minutes in and I'm already feeling like this episode is an instant classic.
Also I've never been the biggest Watson fan but he's growing on me as well. Loving his enthusiasm and jingles this episode.
When a remarkably inebriated Mark Watson gives you lemons, squeeze them on the people below the line. They don't mind it.
"He's got two I's, has he?"
"He has yeah, I saw him being interviewed." 😂
As soon as The Planets started blasting, I knew this would be one of the great games. Immediately not disappointed by the first category.
