Stephen is a good liar, the bit about his grandma swayed everyone

Well, if you're a true snooker fan, you'd have known it was a lie.

Nah, granny part was obviously a lie. It’s a play on sir mixalot, who had a song out late 80s or 90s and nosey a granny would know of sir mixalot, or funny enough to change his name for a cue

@@GagzoD82 Sir Mixalot itself is a play on Sir Lancelot. Sir verb-a-lot was already a stock pun well before Sir Mixalot was known. Sir Mixalot merely caused them to become even more common. It was an obvious lie, but Sir Mixalot wasn't the reason.
Chris was the MVP of this video, his quips were Lee Mack-esque

@johnny207........Mmm - he did when he wanted something! I was a big snooker fan back in the '80's and '90's [played in a number of amateur tournaments] and Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry came to our snooker club to play an exhibition match. When they both entered our club, Steve [Davis] immediately started greeting everyone, saying 'hello' and signing autographs etc. Meanwhile, Stephen [Hendry] just stood there silently. After a while, he looked at us all and said, 'Right - who's going to buy me a drink then?'
Chris was on point here ahaha

His 'lost without my stick' was a great double entendre too.
If someone started this video half way through they would think hendry takes a cue with him everywhere he goes

Bob Mortimer saw to that a while ago.
Paused the video, so I haven't seen the answer. But I figure this is nonsense, becaise otherwise Phil Yates, Dennis Taylor and Joe Johnson would be mentioning that non stop every time Hendry is mentioned.
Chris is a breath of fresh air. Love him
The beauty of the lie is half the story was true. Henry DID have a cue from being a kid and won all his titles with it, and it DID get broken on a flight. And after it got broke he was never the same player

Stephen was very serious and focused around the table with no sense of humour, there was 0% chance that he was going to be in his dressing room giving his snooker cue a pep talk 🤣

But what I want to know was that really a snooker cue signed by Ronnie O'Sullivan or was that a big pork pie too?
I knew it was a lie, Stephen was a single minded winning machine. He wouldn't care about or have had anytime for silliness
Rob pronounced "snooker" the way Brits always think Americans always pronounce "snooker".

@@davidhale8034 I've been watching Americans discovering and getting into snooker on KZread. They always start out pronouncing it incorrectly and they always get comments educating them on the matter. A video or two later, they've changed the way they say it.

I'm sorry but these lot are thick. Even if you know nothing about snooker, anyone should know that was a lie 😅
4:15 Flushed down the “cue” bend... 😏
Of course he doesn't call his cue Sir Potsalot. He does, however, call his right hand Sir Wanksalot.
I feel like very often the panelists lose sight of what the aim of this game is. If the aim is to let the opposing team guess wrong, surely when the story sounds or feels genuine, it must be a lie, right? Because... why would they sell a true story as true and allow the opposing team to score a point?
