train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day
all right
mark kendall ladies and gentlemen yeah thank you sir thanks for doing this man
i really appreciate it
thanks for having me man it's awesome when i hear that there's a guy out there
that's a celebrity that
plays pool better than me i get very excited and uh according to our mutual
friend jay helford he says
you're the best celebrity pool player there is that's a yeah i mean compliment
yeah that's a high compliment
coming from jay because he knows a lot about pool but i mean i don't have to be
the best all the time i mean
you know i'm definitely i'm i'm capable of playing like you know a d player or
whatever i can just go
just dog my brains out but when i get going with my arm you know loosened up
and i'm you know been
hitting balls for a few days i i can get in into a my you know play my speed
yeah that's you know
folks who don't know like pool player lingo speed is how like a guy will say oh
he plays a speed you know
he's got a great speed that means it doesn't even mean going fast it just means
your your your game
there's you know it's funny uh in pool there's there's so many different levels
though it i think
it goes way beyond like a player b player c player but i i see guys that i i
can't imagine playing
better than this guy if i ever got this level i'd like the bucket list would be
totally happening
and he has to get weight from this dude and all this stuff and it's it's almost
confusing how many
different and what weight means is for folks who don't know the pooling
handicap yeah yeah handicap
meaning like say if uh if mark and i played and mark's an a player and i'm a b
player mark would
maybe like if we played nine ball mark would maybe like give me the eight ball
and what that means is
like he would have to make the nine ball to win but i could win making the
eight ball or the nine ball
and oftentimes when you're you're seeing like really even big name guys match
up like i saw
rob saiz match up with mika eminen right they play and rob size is a top pro
but mika eminen had to
give rob weight and sure you know he gave him i think he gave him the eight
ball sure and uh and that
eight ball might not show up very much yeah on that level it might not with
that you know when for folks
who don't know um ten ball or nine ball either one of them they're rotation
games which means you play
the one ball first and then you go to the two to the three and then to win you
get the ten ball in
but to win with a handicap you could give a guy another game like you could
give a guy i've seen a guy
like shane van bonig uh he gives people like crazy games like he'll give some
live out yeah yeah
two out even yeah i mean if the guy can't play at all i mean you know he'll
give you every ball
on the table yeah that means all you have to do is make the two ball and you
win whereas he has to
make the two three four five okay now imagine this how good this guy is uh you
know cory dole i mean
he's one of the best in the world shane gave him the five and six ball playing
ten ball just now up in
the north up north and you know it was laughable like even cory laughed i can't
believe it he goes i
guess i need the four and five you know he beat him with the five and six he
beat him yeah with him
giving giving him the five and six ball in ten ball like you know it's crazy
but it really is not going
to show up if he's breaking the way he does you know also he's going oh there
goes my money ball and
there goes my money ball like every game you know from the chair you know what
i mean so even though
it sounds like oh shane's really giving something up here it you know if he
breaks because that that's
the whole thing with him um well people you know some say he just breaks you
know good or whatever but
that you know you know that's crappy this guy plays behind the break like crazy
good but um but
that break is big when you get on that level of you know he's pro level yeah if
some guy is breaking
like god and getting shape on the one and all this stuff you know and another
guy is a dry breaker but
he plays like god too the guarantee the guy that's the breaker is gonna destroy
the inside lingo dry
breaker breaking like god what it's up about is the initial shot on pool is the
break shot you smash
the balls hard and the balls go flying into the pockets ideally if they don't
you spread the whole
table out and then you leave a lot of shots for your opponent the problem with
a guy like shane van
boning is he breaks so good that you know almost almost every break he's making
one if not two i've
seen him make five balls on the break playing ten ball and he gets shape on the
one that's the whole thing and and
players complain about that and i don't understand it i'm like why are you
complaining because this guy
breaks good you know the answer to me would be work on your break yeah don't
complain because some
other guy's great you know well you make it too much sense there mark am i yeah
you make it too much
sense you gotta give people the opportunity to just complain about that's what
they like well you know
i complain about stuff i know this guy is breaking he's a fag well one of the
things that i wanted to
talk to you about because you know because you're such a really good pool
player is there's there's
something involved in like trying to get like really good at pool or really
good in anything that requires
an incredible amount of time where it's like the level of commitment that you
have to have to get
really good at that i guess it's got to be kind of similar to guitar playing in
a way like the amount
of practice that you have to put in the level and that there's just levels and
levels and levels to
this stuff i've had different loves in my life i mean i've i've always gone
back to the guitar because
i my family was there's just so much music in my family my grandpa was a
touring piano player my
dad is a jazz trumpet player my mom sang music in the house all the time but i
at the same time i still
played baseball from the time i was eight till i was 18. you know and my dad's
dream for me was to
not be the big you know star musician because he just thought there was no
chance at that but but to
be the la dodger you know what i mean we thought it was a chance at that more
than there was you must
have played really good i can tell you uh no i really didn't i mean i i you
know i was a really good
pitcher probably when i was like in pony league i was kind of known as one of
the top pitchers
my arms started hurting when i was around 17 like after three innings i would
have my dad come out and
take me out you know usually that guy comes out and says oh how you feeling and
all that kind of stuff
no i didn't wait for all that i i told him you know put me on first my arms
hurting again
i threw curveballs when i was like 11 years old and everybody said oh god he's
gonna throw his elbow
out that never happened what happened was from fastballs my arm got kind of
jacked you know so
after three innings it was hurting not to mention you have to be such a standout
player to get scouted
by some you know by pro you know scouts your numbers have to stand above the
entire league right
i had two guys on my own team when i was you know this is 16 17 18 year olds
two guys on my own team hit more
home runs in me ran faster threw harder you know what i mean so my chances and
i even told my dad
this when i made the decision i'm going full-time music and you know kind of
say la vida baseball is
i have zero chance to make it in baseball none is that true did you really have
zero chance or would
it have to be something that you completely abandoned everything else and just
threw your life at
baseball it seems like if you're really well i did i mean i really i could have
played maybe a different
position but i really wasn't um i didn't have enough power to i think who's
going to skip o
