So I was thinking of interesting people in the pool world to interview for my segment on American Billiard Radio. There are plenty of them out there but finally decided to reach out to my old buddy "Pretty Boy Floyd". I told him that I just wanted some of his history and opinions on pool in general. He said "Mark, ask me anything you want I don't care but just know I am not going to sugar coat things I am going to give you straight answers". So we shall see where this interview goes but I do know that Jimmy isn't afraid to say what is on his mind.

Listen in tonight 9pm CST at www.americanbilliardradio.com
 
I really want to hear the story behind that corny "How to hustle" video he made. :D

The radio show is on Wednesday this week instead of Thursday?
 
He means tomorrow nite. (Thurs) lol
Holiday weekend got him all jacked up I guess.

Stay out of the sun Mark lol
 
You called it Mr Bond. The holiday has mixed me up. Sorry about that BRussell I am doing the interview today but will be aired at the usual time on Thursday.

People should be paid to have to listen. He is an idiot and always has been.
If you have never met him or heard him, tune in. You will sit there saying "WTF is this guy nuts or what".

Might be true but one thing I know is that he played strong in the mid 70s and had no fear when it came to matching up for 5 figures. People might write him off as a wing nut but he was smart around the gambling circles of pool and moved good. His video is the corniest thing in history but that was just Showtime he's no dummy don't kid yourself

If you get the chance, ask him about playing Mike Carella.

Well the interview went long as you can imagine. Jimmy didn't get too crazy or out spoken but had his moments. I think the 2nd part had a lot of passion from Jimmy all in all interesting as I predicted.
