Though Earl never managed to get his goat in all the matches Earl went crazy on him, Efren always enjoyed laughing at Earl in untranslatable Tagalog. He loved making a fool out of Earl. In one match in Muntinlupa, Efren pushed out freezing the cue with the 9 that covered the one. You could almost hear Earl say "go ahead and eat your stupidity". Then came a spinned kick shot that bounced and made the cue ball cling to the short rail, missing an obstruction by a hair, into the one and one into the pocket. Only Efren can make Earl clap smileless.
