I've always said CJ is the most successful pool players of all time. He turned himself into a millionaire and it started with his pool game and then went into business adventures. Unfortunately his game today is only a fraction of his old self, but I'm sure he wouldn't change anything.

Yep. I was sitting next to Buddy Hall on the rail. When Keith missed that ball after saying, "You can put that in the internet," I cringed. The entire room broke out in laughter and cheers. Sally Timko of InsidePOOL replied, "We will." Everybody loved it except me. I turned to Buddy and said, "What am I going to do?" Buddy said, "Hope he gets another shot," which he did. Whew!

Meanwhile, on the live stream table, Efren and Busty were in a match. They started watching Keith and Alex, as were the entire audience. Efren started laughing. They eventually had to actually stop playing until The Keith and Alex Show ended. Johnny Archer was on the next table, and he also quit playing until Keith and Alex's match ended.

Across the room, high in the bleachers. Mika Immonen and Marcus Chamat laughed so hard that Marcus fell out of his bleacher seat. Everybody was having a good time except me. You could fry an egg on my head at that moment.

Check it out. I put it at the counter mark where it starts. You can hear Keith chirping in the background, and soon the cameras zoom in on their match:

Thank you T411 for "liking" a couple of my previous posts on this old thread.

I just re-watched the "You can put that on the internet" thread between Keith McCready and Alex Pagulayan, and I can't believe I never noticed and/or thought about this previously. The last game in the hill-hill thriller, Keith bends down to shoot the 5 left-handed and pulls back. Keith accidentally moved the 9 ball. Instead of losing because of all-ball foul rule, Alex walked up to the table and moved the 9 ball back, allowing Keith to continue shooting for the win.
