At a minimum, a screw drive is a set of shaped cavities and protrusions on the screw head that allows torque to be applied to it.[1][2] Usually, it also involves a mating tool, such as a screwdriver, that is used to turn it. Some of the less-common drives are classified as being "tamper-resistant".

So much about screws that I didn't know! Another great episode! In reality, so happy to be included as one of the nine. I'm also super happy you guys took us up on our suggestion that pre-show shenanigans be relegated to patrons. It's extra effort but definitely makes me feel special and glad I'm supporting you guys. 🥰🥰🥰

Malachite

I don't think I was one of the nine before now, so let's push these numbers into double-digits (ten) and go on the record that I do also enjoy the pre-show shenanigans and the whole podcastaverse.

Hugh Mongo Johnson

Those 9 people in 14 comments over 4 episodes really put the screws to you guys! I'm so glad you're bringing the before show shenanigans back for those of us who appreciate it. The episodes just aren't complete without them. Clip clop!

Pär Dahlström

I was actually looking forward to an indept exposé about screws and bolts. But silly me who did not check todays date.

I’mNotSayingThat

If I could propose a topic, I think you guys would have a lot of fun with “Assassination attempts on Fidel Castro,” and the looney tunes BS contained therein.

outaspaceman

I dunno.. but I never no… so, no..? Or, Yes.. Well, yes to what ever this is.. Maybe.. Err..? Probably 7/10…?

Bill Capehart

Where were you sunsabiches yesterday when all I wanted was a #6 1-inch machine screw with an indeterminate (because if F*%#ing COURSE it was!) thread pitch!!!!

Audrey Arnett

This is my favorite episode. Holy shit it’s so much fun

B

This was so, so good

Fredrik

Between this episode and the My Immortal trilogy, I DO love you guys 😄

Paul Freelend

20 minutes on self-referential show bits and not a single mention of the Etruscans. I can't tell if I should be disappointed or impressed.

I’mNotSayingThat

I half expected them to run afoul of the Narrator from The Stanley Parable. 🤣

Audrey Arnett

I love seeing them willing to be themselves and make what they want to make

brian lamb

I am so excited for the shenanigans again!!!

Oke518

That was fantastic now here's hoping it's not an April Fool's joke

Rob

SHENANIGANS! YES!

David Jacobsen

This better not not be an April fools day prank! I almost unsubscribed yesterday because my partner and I were going through forgotten recurring charges, cancelling paramount, appletv, etc. So glad I didn't! My Immortal *and* Shenanigans?!

William

CLIP CLOP TOM!!!! MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE!

Jared Harris

Shenanigans are welcome. Now we can justify that episode on psycho-sexual fugue states as hosted by Eli and presented by Heath for maximum sadist appeal. Happy April Fools to the Citation Needed crew. May your pranks not result in emergency medical need.

Lime Green Morpheus

It took me two minutes to realize it was an April fools day episode. This is one of the best.

David Jacobsen

We're back in, baby! Sorry we ever doubted you!

CarrieBoo

I love CitationNeeded on April Fools. I love you guys so much.

Paulo Lopez

OH YOUR GOD!!! I've miss this...pre show shenanigans 🙀!!! May your videogames, be amazing! May your swords, be sharp! May your cheese closet, be cheesy! May your tofu something, be something something! May your clips, be clops!

Ian (no, not that one)

I cant wait to see all the new and exciting ways the guys are going to die!

Bad at Masking

I love it! Happy to hear the pre-show shenanigans are back!

Pokemod97

Just subscribed for shenanigans and am now waiting for the animal trail episode that got released on the main feed

citationpod

Sorry that was a mistake. The screw lengths and the animal trials should be posted here to day. Libsyn must have messed with the date when I scheduled both there.

Jack

I almost screamed when I realized clip clop tom was back thank you guys! I missed my shenanigans

Anne

*in an Etruscan accent* Clip Clop!!

Jenney Dowd

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BACK SHENANIGANS!!!! I didn't realize what I was missing.

B. King

Clip-Clop!

Karl Jones

Yes! Thank you for bringing back the shenanigans

Tamylyn

Meta episodes are always fun (admitidly their are only two of them, but still.)

Tim Durning

Thank you! I love this kind of episode

literally literally

To quote the great Jim Harrison, “He believes in the Resurrection mostly because he was never taught how not to.” Clip-Clop Tom has risen y’all

Petra Khor

The shenanigans are always a highlight of the show, I'm glad they aren't going away! I listen to - and am a patron of 5 of the shows. The inside jokes do get pretty deep, so I get why new audiences don't appreciate them, but for me (a pre pizza party cog dis, and pre Eli scathing/etc, looong time listener) I LOVE the silliness! Every show makes my day!

SteeljawPanda

Sorry Cecil - I did like it 🤷‍♀️

Erik

Listening to the American Gladiators episode, I thought it was a golden opportunity for an amazing sketch that was never going to happen. LONG LIVE THE OPENING SKETCH!

TenaciousB

I am so happy right now.

Pterrorsaurus hex

Did---- did we win? It's this what winning feels like? Clip Clop Tom?! He's back!! They're all back!!!

Brendan H.

Well that was ...... unexpected. I do want to hear about odd length screws though now.

VermanShane

Happy to have sketches back!

Maddie

Unironically, CN was my intro to PiaT & CogDis and the sketches were a big part of what drew me in. Also I did find it on the new and trending list in my podcast player, it just isn't iTunes.

Patricia Lucas

I was sad when the sketch went away, but didn't think to say anything - we could have had it back sooner!

Erik Aldridge

I’m grinning from ear to ear. Thank you!

Sally Stewart

This was fantastic, had me the whole time.

Ty Stephens

I.... am one of the nine. You're all welcome.

fried goo

Thank you to "The Nine" Thank you to the rest of us patrons. And thank you guys so much for changing your mind about The Sketch. A special thanks for making it "Members Only". The inside jokes with fellow fans now become automatic. P.S. I yelled, "Clip-Clop!" involuntarily today in the moment. Delightfully difficult to explain to a non resident of the podcastiverse.

Moose

This episode was amazing, I missed the shenanigans so much! Thank you to The Nine, and thank you guys, for this amazing episode. Making it members only was a great idea!

Mike

I hadn't realized the shenanigans were gone, but I definitely enjoy them.

Tammy DeWael

I was too, bc I’m a hardware nerd. But this was so much better.

JDK

I would've complained about the missing shenanigans but I believe you should have artistic freedom to choose that yourself. But this is a great middle ground 😊

TheNiceKindOfOrc

Damn it, now I’ll never learn more about the properties of surface area as it applies to the fast securement of holdings

Lee

CLIP CLOP!!!!!! <3<3<3<3

Zach Lőrinc

I was literally going to post something about this today before listening to the episode. I really missed the creativity and playfulness of the cold opens and the podcastiverse. Thanks for bringing it back.

Bradley Bennett

Thank you all so much, glad to have them back

Bradley Reecer II

I finally decided to become a Pateron after several years of listening because I missed the opening sketch.

Julie Wine&Reason

As a patron, I approve of these shenanigans. 🤟😜🔥🌈

Lori Bonilla

I love your April Fool's episodes! Glad the opening bit is back for us! Would love a more consistent ending bit, those are my favorite, it makes the episodes wrap up nicely. <3

J. Vizzle

I am a patron and uber-fan of the show, I also approve of this message!

Scot Boeringer

It’s like the Grey Council… (Oh boy, is that a sci-fi callback. Pre-millennium, even. )

Ricky Burnett

Thanks for bringing back the sketch.

Kevin (Nevu)

Sigh. I'm going to have to stop working on my absurdist sorta RPF fanfic I was making in an attempt to blackmail Tom into bringing the sketches back. It was supposed to be a metafiction crossover with Worm, dammit! Premise was every sketch took place in that work of fiction, since it allows for anything that happens in one. Granted, I only had like 4k words done and a Google doc of ideas. But it was coming! One day... not very soon.

TenaciousB

I patronize all the PIAT shows and I swear the more meta they get the more I enjoy them. "Did you just swoosh a doodly-do? you can't swoosh a doodly-do!"

Moriar

As a parton, I am glad for the return of shenanigans.

James Hamblin

Fingers crossed that someday we will see the return of TomTom, the talking walrus

marqos mashups

I have to say that I am very glad that the opening sketches are back on! I really like listening to them, so hopefully that brings your total up to 10

Myachi episode of citation needed please!

Thank you for bringing the sketch back. I knew you had good reason to get rid of it but I really missed it. Also to answer Eli’s question yes I was very much enjoying that part of the sketch.

Matthew Maxon

I love the sketch for patrons. Thanks for bringing it back.

Kevin McKinney

I really liked and miss the pre-show shenanigans

Leon

You fuckers are going to hide clip clip behind a paywall?! Fine… take my money. 💰

Felladin

Became a patron for the My Immortal, staying for the preshow shenanigans!

Wafflepriest

I missed the sketch and became a patron after years of being a filthy freeloader. Well played gentlemen. Well played.

Diego Guzmán

I understood why the sketch was removed, but it was fun (once you were a regular listenwr xD everytime I shared the podcast I would have to warn people about it.) So glad to see that it is going to be there for patreons! (

MizBean

Meta is bettah! Thanks for resurrecting the sketch!

Trevor F

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

Chris Sweet

Clip? Clop. Clip clop...

Laura

That was amazing! Thank you for bringing them back!

Julie Dawley

As one of the 9 people who wanted the sketch back and a longtime patron, thank you so much! Huge fan of the show, ive heard the entire back catalog at last 3 times over.

Jesse Ozog

I have been meaning to make a comment about missing the sketches for months

Liz

Yaaayyyy! I missed clip clip Tom

Caramiadiva

Glad to have the shenanigans back.

Role Play Journaler

My life has been bereft of a required intake of swooshed doodly-doo

Oz Tilson

I squealed when I heard clip clop Tom.

J T

Hurray! The skits are back!
