All right, we’ve got Steve back and we’re going to do a little challenge. We’re going to set each other some shots. Could be pots, could be getting out of snookers, could be trick shots. So, the idea is first to five points. We each set each other a shot alternatively. You get three chances of that shot. If it’s the shot that I’ve set Steve and he doesn’t do in those three shots, I’ve got a chance of doing it in one shot to get a bonus point. We’ll wing it as usual. Of course, we’ll wing it as usual like we do our punditry. This video is sponsored by Caddy Comps. I’ll tell you more about them later on. Which hands are frogging? That one is dead. Yes, dead frog. Okay. Uh Okay, you say a shot. Yes, I’ll start. And um I just thought to start with a little trick shot. Uh you say but but you’re not even going to tell me what to do then. H you’re going to tell me what to do with the trick shot. Yeah, but surely the trick shot’s just going to it’ll be good. Unless you set it up wrongly deliberately. Trust me, I’ve set it up right. You’ve got to try and pop the blue, pink, and the black in one shot. And you’re not going to tell me how to do it. Is that CQ ball where it’s supposed to be? Hold on. One second. All right. You’re not gonna tell me how hard to hit it. What’s it? Okay. Well, I don’t know. I mean, you know, I could tell you exactly how to play it or let you three tries. Maybe you could work it out after the first one goes wrong. Maybe work it out. Interesting. Okay. All right. It’s like taking candy off a baby. I mean, you could be setting it up wrong deliberately. No, I’ve not set it up wrong. All right. Okay. What do I get if I win? Um, what’s the prize? I’ll buy you a case of your I’ll buy a case of your favorite beer. Is it like a game of conquers? Whoever wins trick shot. I’m not going to do it and you’re just going to step up and do it. That’s not fair. Surely wrong. Mind you, if I set up a pot for you, that’s going to be the same same thing. Is it done wrong? Uh, what? One second. It’s all gone wrong. Where did I where I set them up? Right. I can’t wait. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. That’s it. Yeah. There you go. And that there. This is your second try. Well, I mean, I’m absolutely clueless. You got to pop both. You got pop the three balls. Oh, I think I think I might I might Well, you left it light. You got I’m good at potting balls, but I have no idea how they work. One second. [Music] Okay. I get another shot. Miscues don’t count. Making the rules up as it goes along. I suppose that’s the advantage of having your own channel. Yeah, you can’t, you know. Okay, fair enough. All right. So, where was that here? Was it you can put the wiper wherever you want, but why? What sort of chalk are you using that new chalk? Have you ever put top spin on a shot before? Do you know it worked? Right. I’ve failed. No, no, no. Have have another go cuz it’s more fun if you have one trial where you have to get sort of half half right. But you could you could easily get this right. You know, you hit above you hit you above center but not too far above you. Okay. Well, okay. That’s a fail. Right. You do it. I only get one try. You only get one try to get the point. I mean, it’s your shot. I mean, you’re always going to do it. No, I’m not. It’s not a guaranteed certainty, is it not? No, of course not. Feel like one try is tough. This is tough with one try. He’s like, see, you have side on and everything on there, didn’t you? You had like sneaky side on and everything. Watch this. Watch this. Yeah. You see the pot? You want to see what I do for you now? Then my turn. Oh no. Can’t see that far. Okay. What is it? Pot the red. Just put the red. Just put the red. Oh, that’s really kind of you. Maybe. Will you get that close again? Well, this is actually uh you you’ve been very kind, but it’s also it is a test, isn’t it? I was quite pleased with that first go. No pressure. Okay. Okay. Stand down a shot. Big breath. Have you missed it left? Walk into it. Oh, the first guy was a good go. I was creeped with the first one. But I put pressure on myself now. But I need to get it now. One go. One go is tough. Oh, that’s fantastic. That’s fantastic. One each. Thank you to Caddy Comps for sponsoring the video. I love golf. I play 8 days a week. If I’m home 7 days, I’ll play four or five days at least.

Well, or or I could I’ve got a chance to do. Yeah. Okay. In the billiards. Yeah. Something you know nothing about. No. Right. So, proof that you don’t have to be a great snooker billard player to be a great snooker player. At one stage, it was considered to be the case that in order to be a good snooker player, you have to be a good billard player. Okay. It’s the breakoff shot at Billyards. Ball in hand. You’ve got to try and double bulk your opponent by getting because at Billy you can’t play backwards. So, you’ve got to get both the red and the Q ball. Ah, into the bulk area. Not impossible. You gave me a fair chance. I’ve given you a fair chance as well. Three goes, you should be able to do it. Oh, that’s nowhere. That’s nowhere. Is that Did you get one in? Well, that’s that’s that’s actually more pathetic than the first one. Thank you. Come on, Red. Come on, Red. Come on. Come on. Yes. Well done. Well done. Well done. 2-1. Right. It’s all gone wrong. It’s all gone wrong. I’m going have to resort to trick shots. Pop the black off the spot. Make it a bit easier. Hit the brake. Well, that much gap. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, going I’ll make it. See, I don’t want you just do I don’t want the one cushion escape. Okay. Well, my first attempt. [Laughter] Okay, I won’t I won’t try that anymore. I’ve got no chance. Okay, I’m going three cushions. It’s close. Very good. Do you remember this [Laughter] 147 then retires? I go uh 21 two. It’s not that this hasn’t been seen on the television, but I remember thinking it was good fun to do when we first in thought it was possible. Where’s the pink? Got to play position on the black off one cushion and that cushion is the bump. Oh, so I mean this is one of my favorite shots. Yeah. So, okay. Yeah. You got three goes and you got to get on the black. Yeah, but I mean what you what you term is on the black here or below the pit line of the pink. Well, listen. You’re going to pop the pink, hit that bump. Yeah. Yeah. It’s going to come be this side of the table. Oh, no. No, it’s not, is Well, I suppose. Well, as long as you get your you you got to push pot on the black. You got to put on the pink. Remember that bit. Take two. Okay. You know, you know what that bump is? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It’s that far bump. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, unlucky. Nice try. That was pathetic. I used to play that shot all the time. Nice try. I used to play that show all the time. Yeah. Did you? Oh, bless you. Yeah, those were the days. I think I sort of set it up so that you don’t get a point. Even though I don’t get a point, but Well, you could do that. This is sort of This is sort of the shot that you might do. What does that mean? Well, that straight red, you know, needed some actual potting skill technique. Oh, that thing. Oh, that thing. I I I don’t think I could pop the pink in the first go. Yeah. Okay. Well, so that’s still two two. Okay. But that’s one for the that’s one for the viewers to try at home. Yeah. Right. These are the balls. I’m I’m playing into your arena here. You know, safety shots. I mean, why are you put Yes. Yes. Yeah. What if What if it’s a This is actually I’ve set my Is this to try and set the balls up? Yeah. I need all the balls. I need the balls set up. Do you want them? You want all the ball set up? Yeah, I want a triangle. Yeah. Do they have to be set up perfectly? Yeah. Okay. Oh, you’re the ones who play the shots. You want Well, I don’t know. You hit the red. Yeah. Yeah. Could have been some other stupid thing. Three shots to hit the chalk. Break off. What? Break off. Give you three chances to hit the chalk with a cubo. Uh, okay. Fair enough. Really? there. Okay. Yeah. Oh, mind you, I could go two cushions, but you can do do however you want. I’m going to go two cushions. I’m going to go steady Eddie. I tell you what, I tell you what. Let’s Let’s make it Let’s take the bolt colors out the bit. Let’s make it easier for you. There you go. Now you can play it whatever way you want. Well, you trying to make it easier for me? Yeah. I think the billiard player would go two cushions. Of course. Oh my god. That a bit thick. This is turning into one of the channels not to one of the shows not to bother to watch. Eh. Yeah. This is the one that’s going to finally put the nail in the coffin. There might be people like having bets on this. Like who? Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Is that red touching the other red at the top there? Oh, it’s getting a bit picky now. Not quite. Closer. Yeah. Well, it’s going to be tough for you to get it right as well, but obviously that’s the Maybe we’re setting the bar too high. That’s got a chance. Ah, it’s too thin. I made the adjustment, but this is like I beat you in a kind of a safety challenge. This is like quite way I want to go. If you get this right, I This is going to be This could be a I’ll be gutted if you get this right. This is a Oh, it’s Oh, didn’t come off the cushion. Did you put accidental right inside on that? No. There we go. Okay. Still two each. Okay. This could be the longest video we’ve ever done. Yes, we would start saying, “Well, all right. Here we go. Straight black over a spot.” Great idea. Great idea. There’s the position. You got to pop the blue and you’ve got to get right side of the pink. Okay. Either any side. You got to get the correct. Yeah. Yeah. Any side. You got to get the correct side of the pink. Oh, that was a great shot. A fantastic shot. That wasn’t what I was thinking. You know what I was thinking? What were you thinking? I was thinking the jump. Yeah, you jump it and screw it. But fair enough. Fair enough. You did it. Yeah. Well done. Three. Oh, what a what a fool. I gave him another option. How hard do you think you can hit the ball? Not very hard. I was thinking of giving you a Jud Trump shot. Well, you can give it to, but you got to play as well. I might break my neck in the attempt. Oh, is that one where it goes? Uh, I’ve seen him on the television. I’ve never done it. Okay. Okay. So, there’s a judge drum shot for the yellow. So, it’s black. It’s off here. Here. Green and brown here. Back in his cushion there. There. Can you even hit it that hard? I can’t. Now, the table the table might not be fast enough. Well, I will I will be lenient. That That will be my excuse. Yeah. If I mean, if you end up about here, I I’ll take it. What I would say is I don’t think the room’s big enough because I’m going to need to run run up at it. I might have to start I might have to start on the main road in the club. I can’t hit it that hard. I cannot hit that. Well, I can never hit the ball very hard anyway. [Applause] Now, now I’ve got a bad ow pulled a muscle in my nose. Oh dear. Oh my. That’s just honestly that that was like that’s what I made. Try try waiting at the back a little bit. Oh, did I snatch it? Yeah. Yeah, I did, didn’t I? Yeah, I totally snatched it. I might have to use the loot bridge. White. I don’t know. Good hit with the white. Yeah, I’m pleased with the white. The white’s perfect. You just put the black and then and you’ve got a point. Look at that. Oh, you have to look at that. You have to put the black, do you? You have to put Well, who said that? What’s the point in not putting the black? I didn’t I have Can you run that back to just say that he did say pot the black as well? Good. Good cub. Yeah, I was quite pleased with that. If I had a pedi, it wouldn’t have been anywhere near there. Okay. [Music] Oh. Oh, it [Music] [Laughter] Oh, well done. Well done. A point by default. I’ve got a flick off the green as well. It’s just perfect. I mean I mean like how well am I on the yellow? Yeah. I mean well done. Yeah. That’s a point for you. It’s three three. This is now down to the wire. If you do win, I will remind people there was a fluke involved. But there you go. Three each. Your shot. Here’s one where where it’s really sort of, you know, it’s it’s in the balance. It’s not massively difficult. It’s just a little bit of You’ve got to put the queue on the table like that. Yeah. However you want to do it. Yeah. You’re then going to put the pink here or a ball here and the white ball there. And you’ve got to put both balls in the middle pocket. So you got to get the pink and the white ball in that middle pocket. Right. Why do I keep my skewing every time I put top spin? Chalk. Do you know how to use top spin? Yeah. I mean, well, let’s let’s start again then. Yeah, I mean I was a good idea. I’ll give you I’ll give you a clue just so that it doesn’t look totally on your awardw winning YouTube channel. Right. Right. So the pink ball Yeah. right goes along there. Yeah. And the white ball if you put screw back on goes along that side. Jesus. Go on. Go on. Yes. [Laughter] Why did I make it so easy? Why did I tell you? What an idiot. I’d have been there all day. What an idiot. What sort of idiot am I? 43. Okay. 43. Now comes the Jimmy White screw back. No. No. This is This is This one pot the blue. Yeah. Part of the blue is is involved. How do you think of them so quickly? I don’t Well, just because you takes so long to think of yours, it gives me time to think of something. Um, right. This is a Well, everyone says I invented this shot, but I didn’t. But yeah, when you play this shot, I always say in commentary, you got to get a full contact in the pink. Yeah, because you got to keep the Q ball in the middle of the table. Keep CQ ball in the middle of the table. Guaranteed a red. So, so it’s got to be keep it in the middle of the table. Q ball’s not allowed to hit a cushion. Full pace, pot the blue, split the pack. I mean, uh, does it matter exactly if the I don’t care what’s happening there, but if the CQ ball hits the cushion, it’s a it’s a it’s a miss. Okay. Do I have to pop the blue? Yes. Oh, well done. That was sweet. That was sweet. Well done. That’s four each. Four each. Right. how the mess shot comes out. Um Um Right. So now I think we got to think of a shot as it’s a decider and basically the first one to do it wins. Would you think? Yeah. How many go? Oh, we both get three shots. How many go it take? Well, we need to think of a shot between us between ourselves. Yeah. So it’s I mean if this was in planned we could I could have sent out to the ring and say send in a shot you want us to play. Um it’s Well, I mean it’s it’s your choice but you can choose the shot. No, because it’s only fair that Well, if I choose a shot, I I would probably try and make it as hard as possible. The tactics would be I try and make it impossible. Yeah. So that then you choose the show. So don’t make it impossible. So it’s got to be a reasonable I’ve got the shot, right? I’ve got the shot and it’s I’ve never played it before in my life. I used to see somebody in Grimby do it. He did it two times on a trot. A snooker player from the past in Grimby called Tony Graham going back into the 70s showed me this shot. All the reds away. All the reds away. Just want the blue on the table. The first one to get this shot. Okay. How many tries you get and you get your shots all on the trot. Otherwise, I think you you need to be in stroke a bit. Okay. So, this is the shot. And actually, just for the sake of for of the uh video part, if you get the the one of the one of the cameras dead in line with the with this pocket. Yeah. So, this is the shot. Cube on a green spot spot blue on the spot. You got it thin and going off in the top right hand corner pocket. Oh my god. Well, I mean, what time you got to be home? You could have your goes all on the trop. Okay. It’s the thinnest of thin contact to going off in that pocket. Am I going first? You can have your goes first. Yeah. Yeah. But how how are we going to judge the C? Because if you say you give I’m going to having all my shots then Well, you’re going to do it in Then you’re going to have all your shots. You might do it then it’s still a draw. No, no, no. You you do it for as long as as until you get it right. Yeah. Right. It might take you 10 goes. Yeah. And when they And if I can beat 10 goes, I win. Ah, if if uh if I say good. Steve’s making up the rules as we go along. That’s that’s very good. I think it’s a fair sort of penalty shootout. I mean, what sort of I saw Tony Durham do his two two shots on the trot from a standing start. Yeah. Close one. I mean, I could be here all day. Wo. That was close. Yeah, I didn’t like that. I thought you got it then. Three. It’s one of these really annoying shots. You either get early or you’re here all day. Four. That’s what I wanted. I wanted to miss one just to get the get the feel. Yeah, get the feel. I just short my queue for no good reason. Five. That’s cool. That five. My god. I was going maybe 10. But I’m pleased you got it because otherwise, you know, we’ve all got a life. We got a life to lead. Yeah. I’ve got to get this in five. You know what? Missing it was was a real help. Thanks. Cuz then I could see I’ve never said that in my career. Ah, five goes. Go and stand ready to get ready cuz I need the I need the rhythm. I’m assuming I’m going to miss the first one. Yeah, but you need that one. Yeah, you need that one. You do it first time. Now you need to miss it completely. And I think you might do it three. That’s your glider. I was pleased with that. Oh my god. Come on now. Come on now. Wait. So, so if you take five then it’s we just call everything a tie. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Oh, went backwards. Sorry, I spoiled your rhythm there. Yeah, it’s bought my rhythm. What a joke. This is This is it. This is Tatai or Or what is the prize? Oh, it’s a meal in China, wasn’t it? Yeah. No, that was a great That was a great photo. Great. That was great. Good fun. That was good fun. Fun. And And better fun when I’m winning. Oh, yeah. That one. I think you I think everyone would agree. Yeah. Thanks again to Caddycoms for sponsoring the video. [Music]
