Which is exactly my gripe.. We spent a decade on the road together preaching don’t educate the suckers.. lol.. Yes, very good in the booth, but it’s maddening..
These interviews are what keep me coming back to this show. I know nothing about pool and could really care less about it but this guy is great. Love this show.
Dude is awesome. I played against him in a tournament at Texas Billiards Pool Hall in Baytown when I was 13 in the second round of the winners bracket. I broke and ran 4 balls after sinking one on the break, then he ran out to beat me. He gave me a bumble bee graphite stick after the tournament. Was an awesome experience to have.

It is a culture that died right along with the wise guys, the word hip hop, or actual punks. From The clash to funk disco, from Sinatra to Sabbath. From the street games to the vending machines in the pool halls. When you answered your doorbell or just left it wide open. When you didn't tell your family to run and hide. When you knew your neighbors every week, and people could really speak. When it was cool to be well read, and literacy wasn't just excused by a word like income. When airports or hotel lobbies were a place for travelers to connect. When socializing didn't run out of track, because multiple pursuits was a virtue. When people saw the magic and were interested by it and interesting because of it. When it was a book you brought home, or mastering a craft just because. Playing a guitar or building a work bench. When we were exciting. That world doesn't stop at nostalgia, it was a blend of roots and raw cultural ways of life that spread far and wide. And in the coolest ways or most interesting places.

His storytelling is bar none, and he tells a pretty endless amount of them. (Regardless of what the personal opinions of his word are at times.)

They really do though... my best friend RIP was a semipro player and him and everyone else were some wild cokeheads and gamblers...used to go with him to watch the tournaments, saw a lot of shit go down in the pool halls and bars
THIS IS THE SHIT I SUBBED TO THE POD FOR!!! I love aliens and conspiracies, I can tolerate comedy business bs (and even enjoy it if it’s stories, but business just makes me think of my failed dreams), but diving into a fkn random ass topic and hearing the experts tell you their beliefs is where this pod shines
You ain't lying. I have zero knowledge of pool expect for my Filipino neighbors loving it and karaoke. But i ain't even know what a stake holder is. Now i get to look it up and learn new things.
JJ is a legendary player, coach, commentator, and storyteller. He’s won some of the biggest pool tourneys ever like the US open, he is the captain of team America in the Mosconi cup (US vs EU) and is generally everybody’s favorite commentator for his stories, analysis, and voice 😂 Gem is an understatement.
Ronnie Allen Road Stories video here on TH-cam is another great listen when you have the chance. He was an old school pool hustler one of the best one pocket players in his day. His story telling is second to none.
I watch/play a lot of pool and always hear his commentating but never knew what he looked like. Hard Times!!! My first shootout was there and it was awesome. Thanks JRE for sheddin light on the pool world 🙏
I met this dude at q-master billiards in Virginia Beach in the 2000’s. I met all the pros during the US open 9ball championships every year there. Worked there for too long, but it was crazy awesome.
Jeremy "It's all about focusing on the balls" Joe "Did you know a male chimp's balls grow with more promiscuous females around?" Jeremy "What? No. I just meant...." Joe "Jamie, pull up hairless jacked chimps with giant testicles for Jeremy, please."
Jeremy "This ball went down and swirled around in the pocket." Joe "I tripped balls when I first did DMT." Jeremy "Anyways, he rifled this 4-9..." Joe "Ever try DMT? Any psychedelics?"
Super interesting guest, great story teller. This was so much more interesting than some of the guests lately, I'm not even a player, not even a good hack, but like the game, and the stories.
All the American pool players were huge in the Philippines when pool was coming up in the early 2000's... Strickland, Archer, Varner, Van Boening, Jones, Sigel, Robles... even Jeanette Lee who went to the Philippines to play against Efren Reyes in an exhibition. Would be awesome if Lee went on the podcast.
My dad was a hell of a pool player and was a sort of “pool shark” back in the 80’s and 90’s. He had some real, crazy stories. There a long one but to make it short, a guy got shot in the forehead, point blank with a .22. The bullet hits the skull and follows it around and out the back of his scalp.
At 27, I thought I finally beat my dad and if he hadn't curved the cue ball around my last ball to sink the 8, I probably would beat him. He was phenomenal.
To be the last player to truly be on the road with Jack and Barbra Cooney was spectacular. They portrayed my mother and father. I still talk to them often.
I've been waiting forever for pool enthusiast joe to have a pro player on. Double J is a legend. I've seen him play so many times and dreamed I'd have his game one day
Joe listens to the guys greatest hustle story, containing a very vivid description of the event and how it unfolded..... then proceeds to ask "So when he beat you those first two sets even, were you, were hustling a little?"
It's absolutely WILD to hear Jeremy telling stories about my grandfather Frank! A few corrections though.... He never wore overalls in his life, and was only 59 when his wife killed him, not 75.
@@schoolboy6633the story itself is all true, the age and overalls are forgiveable details, but I assure you it's all true, I heard what happened a few days after they played from different people, just saying!
@@schoolboy6633 WTF.. because he didn't know how old somebody was? lmao Do you know how many people you run into on the road that you don't even know their NAME.. You have to realize as well this was 25-30 years ago.
@joeschmoe1645 It's not a pool thing, it's a hustler, conman, criminal thing. Toss in money, several different kinds of mental health issues and things go sideways with these guys all the time
could listen to these stories all day...Im not into pool anymore but my buddy and I used to play alot as young teenagers and it was fun, we got real good...lost money to people better than us but whatever.
Fascinating. I work a regular job and I’m very reluctant to play even the occasional Powerball ticket for a couple of bucks. Meanwhile, these guys are having these extraordinary moments while walking on the edge. Fun to listen to, for sure. Okay, back to normalcy. 😀
I grew up going to a pool hall daily all through high school. A new guy came in and he had loads of cash from his brother who was locked up. He bought the house pros cue before even learning how to play. I took a match with him with my Jeep wrangler on the line because I didn’t have the 5k he wanted to put up. I won the 9 ball match and when I look back I don’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t beat him…
I remember in the late 90s this pool hall that was full of sharks, very good players and i remember i couple of times some heavy hitters playing for 10k first to 11, 5 sets, right there in the middle pool table, usually those games for that money are private but on this occasion it was happening right there, a lot of people maybe almost everybody stopped playing and were watching this go down. Dude murked him 5 - 0 in those sets. Also what an insane ending for these stories, his wife had shot him and 10 years later she really put him out. I had friend that he was always on and off with his GF, both of them crazy violent people. One time my friend was in a hotel with another friend, somebody knocks on the door and the GF (which i think they had broken up like 2 days before but they always got back together) anyways the gf comes in the room and stabs my friend in the ass cheeck, like bad, a deep cut and then crazy GF turns over to the girl that was there, the girl runs and locks herself in bathroom and Shirley is just screaming "open the door, imma kill u" while swinging a knife. Luckily my friend grab her and someone called the police and my friend had to go thr hospital with a deep ass wound😅. Funny enough they got back together and stay that way a couple of years but now, thank God😅, they are separated and both have beautiful families.
THANK YOU JOE ROGAN! I have been bugging you on every platform I use to make this step and give Pool a Big ROGAN Boost! You came thru my man! Pool, the players and all of its fans will benefit from Rogan doing this on his HUGE platform! Rogan will be the boost that the game needs to one day be like golf is today! Thanks again Joe Rogan and JJ is the best!!
Double J came to Akron in the mid to late 90’s and let’s just say the players I idolized got rolled over in just a few short days! The last game I watched he spotted a buddy of mine who plays really good 9-6 playing one-pocket and crushed his hopes and dreams 😉 No lie my buddy gave up the game soon after!
Hell yeah, there's a pool hall in my home town, Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Luther "Wimpy" Lassiter was a local legend and a seven time world champion. I had a buddy who was Jehovah Witness, who would sneak out to hustle grown men in pool, "borrow" cars and woo women, at 16. I never really got good myself but I'll never forget those days. Good times.
Always good to have Fred Durst on the pod.

a few occasions where
could have been killed.

and hung it up totally, there was a

whether he had hung pool up
for Christianity or had given it up

@@schoolboy6633the story itself is all true, the age and overalls are forgiveable details, but I assure you it's all true, I heard what happened a few days after they played from different people, just saying!
@@schoolboy6633 WTF.. because he didn't know how old somebody was? lmao Do you know how many people you run into on the road that you don't even know their NAME.. You have to realize as well this was 25-30 years ago.
Gambling circles is such crazy stuff.
A completely different world.
Step in it if ya want an adventure, but careful, these peeps don't play nice
Can you explain that?
@joeschmoe1645 Yes, but what would happen to Man's quest for knowledge if I did.
@@Bubbles99718 I suck at pool bro
@joeschmoe1645 It's not a pool thing, it's a hustler, conman, criminal thing. Toss in money, several different kinds of mental health issues and things go sideways with these guys all the time
could listen to these stories all day...Im not into pool anymore but my buddy and I used to play alot as young teenagers and it was fun, we got real good...lost money to people better than us but whatever.
Love these old gambling tales.
PLEASE BRING MORE POOL PLAYERS ON TO THE SHOW!!!
Fascinating. I work a regular job and I’m very reluctant to play even the occasional Powerball ticket for a couple of bucks. Meanwhile, these guys are having these extraordinary moments while walking on the edge. Fun to listen to, for sure. Okay, back to normalcy. 😀
I love these gambler interviews best
The JRE needed a guest like this
Nice! I use to see Jeremy shoot all over Houston back in the day. Nice guy and one heck of a one pocket player.
I'd sign up for the Joe Rogan invitational pool tournament. Make it happen Joe!
This was your best interview in years! Felt original..
Finally someone with cool stories...
Just listening to Jeremy Jones's voice, you could tell he's been through some shady gambling/dealings.
I was at the tournament he won in Tunica. Back in the 90s. Great players there. Fun tournament to watch.
Man love pool stories. Loved the game all my life. Seen some crazy shit.
I grew up going to a pool hall daily all through high school. A new guy came in and he had loads of cash from his brother who was locked up. He bought the house pros cue before even learning how to play. I took a match with him with my Jeep wrangler on the line because I didn’t have the 5k he wanted to put up. I won the 9 ball match and when I look back I don’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t beat him…
Lucky they let you walk away!
You would have walked your ass home. That's what.

@@tomi-jon8798😂FRFR
You dropped this 🧢
Jeremy is like a younger version of Danny D with his great stories.
Love it!!!! Keep bringing it!
This dude is a gem
Moral of this story, if your wife shoots but does'nt kill you...leave her.
Definitely going to Spotify on this one.
I remember in the late 90s this pool hall that was full of sharks, very good players and i remember i couple of times some heavy hitters playing for 10k first to 11, 5 sets, right there in the middle pool table, usually those games for that money are private but on this occasion it was happening right there, a lot of people maybe almost everybody stopped playing and were watching this go down. Dude murked him 5 - 0 in those sets.
Also what an insane ending for these stories, his wife had shot him and 10 years later she really put him out. I had friend that he was always on and off with his GF, both of them crazy violent people. One time my friend was in a hotel with another friend, somebody knocks on the door and the GF (which i think they had broken up like 2 days before but they always got back together) anyways the gf comes in the room and stabs my friend in the ass cheeck, like bad, a deep cut and then crazy GF turns over to the girl that was there, the girl runs and locks herself in bathroom and Shirley is just screaming "open the door, imma kill u" while swinging a knife. Luckily my friend grab her and someone called the police and my friend had to go thr hospital with a deep ass wound😅. Funny enough they got back together and stay that way a couple of years but now, thank God😅, they are separated and both have beautiful families.
A deep wound like that must be a living hell,
you have to somehow get it to heal without infection..acck!!
She was a real pain in the ass.
Sounds like when he played David G at Bogies.
THANK YOU JOE ROGAN! I have been bugging you on every platform I use to make this step and give Pool a Big ROGAN Boost! You came thru my man! Pool, the players and all of its fans will benefit from Rogan doing this on his HUGE platform! Rogan will be the boost that the game needs to one day be like golf is today! Thanks again Joe Rogan and JJ is the best!!
More please. Of this pod
Big pool player here and love to see you dabbling in it! Joe you can do well in the pool world which ever way you want to do it!
He'll play for the nookie😂
That's a storyteller right there. I'd sot for hours
It's about damn time you get pool players on the podcast Rogan!!!! First Fedor, now JJ; Alex should be next!!!!
I’m so fucking stoked to see Jeremy jones on here!!!! I love pool and love heating pool players talk about their lives
Double J came to Akron in the mid to late 90’s and let’s just say the players I idolized got rolled over in just a few short days! The last game I watched he spotted a buddy of mine who plays really good 9-6 playing one-pocket and crushed his hopes and dreams 😉 No lie my buddy gave up the game soon after!
Dee?
Oh, I didn't see the last part about giving the game up.. I was around when he locked horns with a few folks in Ohio.
Let's goooo with that hitter Joe!!
“Let’s go” is incredibly unoriginal
Love these old stories.. Met Jeremy and Earl at Ft Worth Billiards a year or so ago.. Twas a good time.
Didn't miss a beat when he said, "It was a Crownline."
Fvae part for me. Great story teller
This will be a real banger for the tens of fans of professional pool.
Hell yeah, there's a pool hall in my home town, Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Luther "Wimpy" Lassiter was a local legend and a seven time world champion. I had a buddy who was Jehovah Witness, who would sneak out to hustle grown men in pool, "borrow" cars and woo women, at 16. I never really got good myself but I'll never forget those days. Good times.
One of the greatest announcers in modern pool. Thanks for talking me through so many match ups.
Wow those were some crazy stories to hear lol. Always enjoyed his commentating
Joe Rogan officially is gunna make billiards blow up and become very popular
RIP Frank. If he was still alive I bet he had some wild stories himself haha
I loved these stories
I wish i knew the names hes saying and could undestand the pool lingo some more. This was great!
Man, Fred Durst really let himself go
Yeah but he'll strait take yer lunch money off a game of 8 ball 😆
Enjoy the episode everyone
Thanks doc
Dont tell me what to do
