The Joe Rogan Experience.
Was there the fear that you entering into professional tournaments would knock
your gambling?
Because people would know that you...
By this time, people, everyone knew, I mean, you know, it didn't take long
before a few trips I went by my middle name.
Yeah, because there were magazines that, you know, you could see what's going
on around the country.
Right.
You just might not get a picture or a video of it or whatever, so you start to
hear names, you know.
So, like, first time I went to California, I did that, actually.
And, you know, it worked out nice, so.
What did you do?
Did you just use a different name?
Well, it's a funny story, and I think he can laugh about it now, but you know
Marcus Shumat is, right?
Mm-hmm.
From Sweden, so.
So there was a guy that was staking him and a lot of other great players, and
he was big action, the guy was.
And I knew Marcus was out there, and so I'm in hard times.
And I think I told you about this the other day with Keith, but the only two
people in the hard times that knew me, all right, was Keith and Jose Perica,
all right?
So everyone else didn't know who I was.
So Marcus Shumat is standing next to two other guys that I know play but won't
play kind of thing.
So I go up and I ask those two guys, I was like, you know, when do y'all want
to play some, you know, $50, $100 sets of nine ball, you know?
Knowing Marcus is going to just jump right on me, you know what I mean?
Like, he's right next to him.
So long story short, that happened.
But I introduced myself as Tyler, my middle name, you know, like I just did,
you know?
So we start playing.
He beats me a set for $100, playing even, I quit.
He offers me the $8, beats me a set for $200, I quit.
Now he offers me the $7.
So now his stake horse starts coming over near me because Marcus is just
stealing this little $400, $500.
It ain't got nothing to do with the stake horse, you know what I mean?
This is like pocket money.
So now his stake horse comes over and he's kind of interested in the game.
And he says, he'll give you the $7, but you got to bet, you know, everything
you got.
I got like $25,000 or $30,000 on me.
You wouldn't know it, but I do, you know?
So I can't pull out $25,000 or $30,000.
They're going to know something's up.
So me and my buddy, we just talked for a second.
So we end up pulling out like $4,500.
So we play for a little bit.
And now we're playing seven ahead.
We were playing a race of seven for the $100 and $200, right?
So now he thinks he's stealing because, I mean, the way I played in the other
two sets, you know what I'm saying?
So he just comes out like gangbusters.
He's got me like four games down.
I'm talking to my buddy.
I'm like, man, this is sick.
We're going to get beat in this spot right here.
I'm getting the seven, you know?
So finally I get a shot, and I start to run out.
Now I'm starting to run out.
And so his steak horse sits there, and he says, man, ain't this something?
You know what I mean?
He says, we thought we were stealing.
It looks real bad now.
So I beat him that set.
So now, at hard times, you've been there, right, in L.A.?
Yeah, Bellflower.
Yeah, so they got the player side, right, with the tight tables, and they got
the looser tables.
Well, he had me on the looser tables thinking, you know, I'm just a sucker, you
know?
So he says, the steak horse says, double the bet, and we'll give you the eight
on the tight tables.
Right?
So this is, like, really good for me.
You know, now I'm getting a spot on even a tougher table.
So I beat him that set, but during that second set, a friend of mine had built
me a cue and sent it out to the guy that ran the tournaments in L.A., right?
So I'm going by Tyler, and this guy walks up, and he says, real loud, he says,
are you Jeremy Jones?
Oh, no.
He says, if you are, I got a cue for you, you know?
And I was like, no, I ain't Jeremy, because I'm in the middle of this $9,000
set playing, you know?
So I said, no, I ain't Jeremy Jones, you know?
And I just sent him on his way.
And then the next day when I came in, Mark knew who I was, and, you know,
everyone spilled the beans kind of thing.
I had to go tell the guy, all right, that's my cue and everything.
Was he mad at you?
No, no, not at all.
He understood.
It's kind of like a funny story around there now, I think.
But Marcus was mad at me for a little while.
Yeah, that's what I was asking.
Oh, yeah, because he was European, you know?
And it was just kind of like, you know, if someone got me like that, you know,
it's going to sting,
but it's going to be more like, all right, touche kind of thing.
You know what I'm saying?
Later on, you know, we're going to laugh about it and stuff.
But it took, it's almost like if you first beat Efren, he walks by you, but he
don't say much to you for about a month or two.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
He's got to let that wear off a little bit.
But it took Marcus probably about a decade before.
It was bad, yeah.
So when he beat you the first two sets even, were you hustling a little?
Well, I might not have put forth my best effort, but he played real good, you
know what I mean?
He was just, all right, let me pick up this four or five hundred and get out of
here.
But were you purposely trying to set something up?
Well, I thought, you know, I'm definitely not trying to win for 200, you know
what I mean?
Like his steak horse, who now is actually, after that trip, became a real good
friend of mine.
You know, at that time, he was known you could beat him out of, you know, 40
and 50, you know, thousand, right?
So you're not going to start off doing anything like that for 200 or so.
So when you first start playing, you play good, but you're not really bearing
down.
Right, right.
So you're showing him that you can play a little, but you might miss some shots
that...
Plus, I wanted to see him play.
Right.
You know, I heard the name.
Right.
I kind of wanted to really see, because eventually, to beat him out of the real
money, he's going to be playing even.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Because he's another great player.
So that eventually was going to happen, but Marcus ended up having to leave the
country for his visa, got shortened up or something like that.
He actually ended up leaving the next day.
But I stuck around for about a month.
In these other countries, is there a lot of gambling going on?
Obviously, in the Philippines, there is.
But is there a lot of gambling going on in these other countries where all
these players are emerging?
Some of Asia, for sure.
Southeast Asia, especially, I think.
You know, Thailand, like you said, Philippines, Indonesia.
Europe here and there, not a whole lot.
Not a whole lot at all.
And I think it's more of the steakhorse kind of situation.
It's just not the mentality.
You know, there's not a steakhorse.
You know, people aren't just thinking, oh, let me go put somebody else in
action for thousands of dollars and give them a half.
You know, it's just not your everyday thing.
One of the fun parts of American pool culture, the steakhorses.
Oh, absolutely.
They're some of the biggest characters.
Yes.
Wild, crazy people with tons of money.
Yeah, and how they got it.
Yeah.
Yeah, and they're interested in gambling on pool.
Yeah, I've been paid and buried money quite a few times.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It stinks.
It stinks.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Not nice.
Wow.
The whole car stunk.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Real bad.
Do you think there's, like, bodies next to the money or something?
I don't think so.
Why did it smell?
Just mildew and shit?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, I'm talking about, yeah, I think this has been there a long time.
30 years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was a guy one time, we were in South Carolina.
It was another place that I frequented in the summers, especially because we
gambled
to golf.
But this guy, Frank, and he was a great, great guy.
And he was coming in overalls.
Didn't know he had a penny.
But he staked a lot of players.
And he did a lot for the pool community.
So he comes in one morning, because we'd all meet at the pool room about 10 a.m.,
and we'd
all make a golf game.
Then we'd go out to the golf course, gamble golf, come back to the pool room
and make pool
games, right?
It was awesome.
I mean, the whole summer was like this.
So this Frank comes in one morning, and he looked real upset.
And he never looked upset.
Always happy.
Even if he lost, he was happy.
And so I said, Frank, what's wrong?
You okay?
He said, I come out my back door, and I saw one of my bushes dug up today.
So one of his sons that was kind of a little detached at times from the family,
for one
reason or another, he let it stay there.
And he said he knew it right.
It was a $30,000 bush.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so he took it like a grain of salt.
He was more disappointed.
It was kind of like a disappointed father kind of thing, more than upset.
He had plenty of money, you know?
Yeah.
So, but it's amazing what people do with their money.
Oh, I can't tell you.
Probably maybe the craziest.
I'll tell you later on the craziest ones on here.
But let's see.
So one time I was at a tournament in Mississippi, and to get on with this, I
won the tournament.
Tough tournament.
Johnny Archer, all the great players, and his bar table.
So I won like 8,000.
So by the time I won the tournament, I think I was about 25,000 losing in the
casino.
Okay?
Like, terrible trip.
I mean, I wasn't even trying.
You remember Tony Ellen?
Yes.
So he was 20 minutes late to get a steak dinner at the Horseshoe.
It cost me about 12,000.
I went down there and said, let me just pitch 300, you know?
And they just pounded me, right?
So I got the tournament money after winning.
It was 8,000.
Went straight to the cage and cashed it.
Went straight to the blackjack.
Yeah.
I had it about 10 minutes.
So the 8,000 was gone.
And so this guy that was playing there, his name was Frank Seals, and he was a
legendary
steak horse.
And he used to take CJ when he was a kid and a lot of players throughout the
years.
And he said, hey, if you're ever bored and you want to come up to Morristown,
Tennessee,
I got a kid.
I'll let you play if you still want to play, you know?
I like the way you gamble is what he said.
He watched me play blackjack.
Blow all my money, right?
Yeah.
So, yeah, I told him, I said, you ain't dealing with no blackjack up there if I
go up there.
So anyways, I go up there.
So he's got this guy, Mark Owens was his name, good player, and real high gear.
Maybe not the most steady player, but real high gear.
So we're playing.
We start out playing races to 9 or 10 or something for 1,000.
So long story short, I got him 10,000 loser, okay?
And it's because we raised it and whatnot.
And so now the whole town, this is a small town, okay, just up in the northeast
corner
of Tennessee.
So the whole town starts coming in, and this is their hero.
So my buddy starts taking bets on the side, you know?
So now I got him 10,000 loser, and he says, we want to play a set for 10,000.
This is what Frank says, the steak horse.
He says, but we need to call eight.
You know what the call eight is, of course, right?
So I said, okay, yeah.
So we're going to race to 15.
So we're betting about 10,000 on the side, okay?
So we're playing a set for like 20, all right?
Because my buddy's got a list of bets this long with all the town people.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's nine to eight me.
Instead of playing safe on the eight, I try to jack up off the end rail and
stab it in
and draw my ball.
You know what I mean?
And I bobble it.
He makes it.
He breaks and runs five racks.
He's up 14 to nine.
So now he breaks, going to 15.
And the four nine is wired over the spot.
He makes an incredible shot on the one.
He's got the three down the rail, and he's just got a cupcake on the four nine.
So I turned my buddy, and I said, man, we ain't got but like 8,000 left, you
know?
Because we were a winner.
We start off 1,000 a set.
I said, we can't lower the bet.
You can't do that.
Then they know you're short.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm like, what are we going to do?
You know, we'll get more money tomorrow, whatever, right?
So the pool table's here, right?
He's shooting to this corner.
Now Frank is the only guy, he's sitting right here on a stool chair, right?
Like a little school chair.
Everyone else is way back over here besides me and my buddies over here, right?
All the people watching.
So he knocks a three in, Mark does, and he comes down.
And he was kind of one of those guys that would fire the nine in.
You know what I'm saying?
You've seen him.
He rifles this four nine.
He could have just tapped it, and it would have rolled right in the corner.
This ball went down and swirled around in the pocket.
Jumped almost all the way back out to the spot.
That's how far it went.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
All the money's on the light, right?
So Frank, he knows about pool, and the ball's aimed directly at Frank.
So as soon as he hits it, he knows it's in.
So Frank starts to get up and get the money.
I said, oh, Frank.
I said, the nine's on the table.
You know, Frank's like 75 years old.
He's got glasses.
So I said, the nine's on the table.
He says, oh, I'm sorry.
You know, like he didn't realize it didn't go in.
Well, it did go in.
It just came back out.
Yeah.
Never pocketed another ball the whole set.
I played safe on that first shot.
I broke and ran, played safe, broke and ran, beat him 15-14.
Wow.
Yeah.
So now the kid, he quits, and he's literally crying out on the stairs.
Okay?
So Frank says, come back the next day.
We'll play you some more.
So we come back the next day.
We start out playing like for 3,500, races to 11.
So I beat him three sets.
So he says, hey, he's going to take a break.
He said, I'll play you some more in a minute.
I'm like, sweet, man.
This is good.
Good action, you know?
So Frank's sitting in this chair right here, and the kid's practicing a little
bit,
and he hits a ball in that same pocket.
It jumps the pocket, hits Frank dead in the eye, right?
And his glasses.
And blood's going everywhere.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it was ironically crazy, right?
So we end up having to quit, and we never end up playing again.
So the same pocket that kind of saved me the day before, right, kind of got him
the next day,
and we end up never playing, yeah.
Funny story.
What kind of shitty table is that?
It was a gold crown, but it had replacement pockets.
You know, the big black ones that go in.
They're kind of bulky.
They kind of move around a little bit.
Oh, they did a shitty job.
Yeah, yeah.
It was an old-school pool hall.
Oh, man.
Yeah, that Frank, he was something else.
So I'm playing, right?
And he pulls up his overall.
And I see a gunshot wound in his leg.
I said, dang, Frank, you got shot?
He said, yeah, my wife shot me about 10 years ago.
I said, man, you mean your ex-wife, don't you?
He says, no.
He says, I'm still with her, right?
I said, damn.
About three months later, she killed him.
Wow.
After I played it.
Yeah, same lady that shot him 10 months before.
Oh, my God.
She shot him dead?
Dead.
Dead.
I think she did six months in a mental place, and then she's out.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, yeah.
Six months?
Six months, that was it, yeah.
That's it?
She had shot him twice?
Oh, she, no, I think it was like.
Did he not tell about more?
I think it was like five of them in the chat.
Oh, when she killed him?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Remember I was telling you about that buried money?
Yeah.
Frank gave me some of that buried money.
Did he?
I think he was kind of like a numbers guy, you know, how they run the lottery
out in the
country on their own and stuff.
Yeah, I think he did stuff like that.
I think he was kind of like, oh, my God.
I think he was kind of like, oh, my God.
I think he was kind of like, oh, my God.
I think he was kind of like, oh, my God.
I think he was kind of like, oh, my God.
I think he was kind of like, oh, my God.

We're going to get beat in this spot right here.
I'm getting the seven, you know?
So finally I get a shot, and I start to run out.
Now I'm starting to run out.
And so his steak horse sits there, and he says, man, ain't this something?
You know what I mean?

And he said he knew it right.
It was a $30,000 bush.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so he took it like a grain of salt.
He was more disappointed.
It was kind of like a disappointed father kind of thing, more than upset.
He had plenty of money, you know?
Yeah.
So, but it's amazing what people do with their money.
Oh, I can't tell you.
Probably maybe the craziest.
I'll tell you later on the craziest ones on here.
But let's see.
So one time I was at a tournament in Mississippi, and to get on with this, I
won the tournament.
Tough tournament.
Johnny Archer, all the great players, and his bar table.
So I won like 8,000.
So by the time I won the tournament, I think I was about 25,000 losing in the
casino.
Okay?
Like, terrible trip.
I mean, I wasn't even trying.
You remember Tony Ellen?
Yes.
So he was 20 minutes late to get a steak dinner at the Horseshoe.
It cost me about 12,000.
I went down there and said, let me just pitch 300, you know?
And they just pounded me, right?
So I got the tournament money after winning.
It was 8,000.
Went straight to the cage and cashed it.
Went straight to the blackjack.
Yeah.
I had it about 10 minutes.
So the 8,000 was gone.
And so this guy that was playing there, his name was Frank Seals, and he was a
legendary
steak horse.
And he used to take CJ when he was a kid and a lot of players throughout the
years.
And he said, hey, if you're ever bored and you want to come up to Morristown,
Tennessee,
I got a kid.
I'll let you play if you still want to play, you know?
I like the way you gamble is what he said.
He watched me play blackjack.
Blow all my money, right?
Yeah.
So, yeah, I told him, I said, you ain't dealing with no blackjack up there if I
go up there.
So anyways, I go up there.
So he's got this guy, Mark Owens was his name, good player, and real high gear.
Maybe not the most steady player, but real high gear.
So we're playing.
We start out playing races to 9 or 10 or something for 1,000.
So long story short, I got him 10,000 loser, okay?
And it's because we raised it and whatnot.
And so now the whole town, this is a small town, okay, just up in the northeast
corner
of Tennessee.
So the whole town starts coming in, and this is their hero.
So my buddy starts taking bets on the side, you know?
So now I got him 10,000 loser, and he says, we want to play a set for 10,000.
This is what Frank says, the steak horse.
He says, but we need to call eight.
You know what the call eight is, of course, right?
So I said, okay, yeah.
So we're going to race to 15.
So we're betting about 10,000 on the side, okay?
So we're playing a set for like 20, all right?
Because my buddy's got a list of bets this long with all the town people.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's nine to eight me.
Instead of playing safe on the eight, I try to jack up off the end rail and
stab it in
and draw my ball.
You know what I mean?
And I bobble it.
He makes it.
He breaks and runs five racks.
He's up 14 to nine.
So now he breaks, going to 15.
And the four nine is wired over the spot.
He makes an incredible shot on the one.
He's got the three down the rail, and he's just got a cupcake on the four nine.
So I turned my buddy, and I said, man, we ain't got but like 8,000 left, you
know?
Because we were a winner.
We start off 1,000 a set.
I said, we can't lower the bet.
You can't do that.
Then they know
