Fedor Gorst on the Joe Rogan podcast today

Fedor would also like it to be an all-around with 9b, 10b, banks, 1hole.
Understandably. Fedor a favorite at both banks and one pocket. Three DCC Master of the Table awards in four years tells you all you need to know. In recent years, Filler has won far more major titles than Fedor in rotation games.

And if they went to 14.1 as a tiebreaker, i think Filler would have a pretty big advantage
 
I enjoyed listening to him talk about pressure . In my head I think players like him don’t get affected by it but him talking about learning to deal with it. That his hands were trembling and arm feels weak on big moments like running out for the 250k was eye opening to me
 
I haven't listened yet but enjoyed his last appearance. Nice to see him back for a second time.

Reds pool room Houston, Bata showed, most all were there. Mike Massey and the boys early 80's. Some tall dude is holdin' court ;). Vickery on the left got locked up. The Brun up front, W. Coaster, picked mostly winners.

i think they all get, to a degree. shane shakes visibly sometimes, nick varner does too. they're human. but they still harness their nervous energy and win. filler has a lot of visible nervous energy, he really feeds off it. gerson martinez is maybe the most extreme of the current crop
 
Rogan must not follow the game. Fedor has not won even one title at 9ball or 10ball in 2025. It's a very strange time to try to label him the best of all time. For the true greats, nothing but titles will ever suffice, and Fedor is a true great. He will likely be in the GOAT discussion one day, but he is not in it yet.

While Filler has won several giant field events in rotation pool this year, even he cannot logically be compared to Yapp right now, who has done the almost unfathomable in winning three straight WNT majors. Yapp, who also won the International 9ball in November, is the best right now and, until further notice, Josh and Fedor are chasing.

It's a fun time to be watching pro pool, and yes, there is a dominant player in the game right now. His name is Yapp. Josh and Fedor know it, too. Someone should tell Rogan.

I was able to listen to the podcast and the two most interesting points to me were:

1. Fedor and Filler long race match sounds like it was being negotiated but has since stalled. Joe was very interested in seeing it happen and possibly doing commentary if they set it up in Austin.

2. Top golf founders raising $34m to do something similar with pool.
Nice... I too had a couple. But only saw 50 minutes so far.

A. 9 ball break.... during the shoot.... ''Rogan said he was told to aim at the ''back ball'' then Gorsts body language said he was not to tell us. :)
B. Quote Gorst on playin' good.... ''all comes down to how much time you spend on the table''.
