Foosball Radio | On the Road | TKO Open Doubles Winners Tommy Yore & Erik Hueltner

[00:00:01] The following is a presentation of Foosball Radio Foosball Radio On the Road And here we are live from the World Foosball Tour Tour kickoff 2025. Man, it's it's what an extraordinary time. What a what an odd

[00:00:27] moment in history for Foosball. Odd in the sense that we haven't seen this before much. And now we're seeing a whole new standard at the World Foosball Tour. Of course, this is the first event in history for this brand new tour. And the excitement of course has been, I would say amplified because of the production value that goes into this this whole weekend.

[00:00:53] Especially when we watch the the open doubles last night. And it just so happens I have the winners of open doubles with me on Foos Talk Live and Foosball Radio on the Road. First, let's welcome Erik Heltner from Land O'Lakes, Florida. Hey, how's it going? I gotta say, Erik, last night we had you kind of fill in some details about, you know, your achievements in in foosball.

[00:01:18] And I had difficulty pronouncing some of those things. You want to give us your your your intro? Well, I was asking for the last titles or whatever, and I was just over visiting Tony. So I we played a UK tournament, the London UK Masters. Yep. And then I went to Tony's house, hung out. And then we went to we drove from Bucharest to Sofia, Bulgaria, and played a tournament there on Land Hart.

[00:01:47] So we won both of those tournaments. Wow. Those were my last two. So I jotted them down. And nobody else in the room can say this. So but that intro that was that was great. I had to I had to read it verbatim. Otherwise, I would have messed it up big time. So right next to you, Erik, of course, is is it someone we all know so well and has come a long way in a very short period of time. And we're proud to say is from the Albany, New York area these days, although originally from Tampa, Florida.

[00:02:17] Let's welcome to the show. Tommy, you are. Hello. What's up, dude? What's up? What's up? Hello, everybody. So your your your win last night was amplified by the setting. Now, first of all, Erik, as far as the stage is concerned, how did you feel about that whole experience being the whole experience as far as the just being on the stage, being on the table with, you know, the the way it's set up there with the spotlight. Everybody's just watching it.

[00:02:46] It was, I guess, a little bit bigger production than a normal state or TKO or something like that. It felt more. I don't know if you want to say prestigious. I guess that's a decent word for it. It was a very good production. It made the finals feel like a real event. Right. Right. Right. Right.

[00:03:07] Right. Which I know that Ryan last year, as he was talking about his plans, one of the phases of his plans, number one was taking care of the players. Yeah. Making sure the players are appreciated. Well, he's doing good so far. Nice. It's it looks great in here. It's yeah. I mean, it's it's a big step forward. He says that Vegas is going to be a bigger step forward. So I'm excited to see what he does. Yeah. No, no question.

[00:03:36] So tell me, how about you? How did you feel about the spotlight last night? It was cool. I think that it felt it felt very, very similar to worlds or in the world, the world finals. Right. Last year, which is a good thing. I'm glad that this year because it was weird because last year they did the NTKO. They had the singles final and the singles final. They did something similar to this, but for the doubles final, they didn't. So I'm glad this time we got to like have that experience.

[00:04:06] And last year, as I recall, it was you versus Ryan in the singles final. Yes. Yes. I mean, that was that was pretty thrilling. You know, that was pretty amazing. Yep. And oddly enough, if we reminisce a bit about that, there had been a fire in the in the building earlier that weekend. And a TV crew had come over to cover the fire. And then they discovered there's a tournament going on. Oh, and so the TV crew showed up for the the open singles and the open doubles finals. And you guys got on TV in the whole nine.

[00:04:36] Were you aware of that? I didn't know. I will. I knew that I knew that the news crew were there. I didn't know that they were there because only because the fire. Right. Right. It was kind of like a. Do you know that me and Tommy saved the hotel? Did you? Oh, yeah. We're right out. Tommy. Tommy's the one who pulled the fire alarm. You I'm the one who saw the smoke. I'm the one. It was it was directly across from our room. Oh, we just we just so happened to be walking back. And I was like, is that smoke? And then we got to the door and it's like, yeah.

[00:05:06] Tommy's like, should I pull a fire alarm? Yeah. Well, well, thanks for your heroic acts. I'm sure lots of people in the hotel would thank you. Yeah. If they only knew. Yeah. Go figure. Now, I mean, hey, that happens, right? You go to a hotel, sometimes, you know, a fire breaks out. So knowing what to do and how to handle it anyway. So this this whole new setup, obviously, there's there's phases they're going through.

[00:05:35] I know, obviously, there are certain groups of people who are took first place in their events are now fully sponsored for this next year. Does that include you guys? Yeah, it was all it was the singles one of the singles events and they got sponsored full packages for full packages, gear. I guess, I guess, outfits and for all the singles.

[00:06:02] OK, that were I think in the open events. Is there anything else or was it just open? I don't know. I think it was just go. OK, but that's for the majors. You know, that's I don't know easily at least a thousand bucks. Plus, that's nice. That's great. Yeah. So step in the right direction.

[00:06:22] So let's say in a year's time, TKO is fully sponsored by, I don't know, some fill in the blank major, major corporation. And they're willing to spend money on people like yourselves who are top pros, pro masters to be out on tour. Do you all have a point at which you'd say, you know what? I'm going to tour a whole lot more often because I can make better money if I'm touring. What do you what do you say about that, Tommy?

[00:06:53] Well, I would definitely I would definitely tour more. OK. Yeah. I mean, I feel like everybody would do would be similar. Honestly. Yeah. Eric, how about yourself? I bet I go to about 80 percent of the stuff anyway. So I got you. Probably there anyway. Probably about to say. Yeah. Well, I mean, here's the thing. We were talking earlier today in the 80s, 70s and 80s.

[00:07:20] There was a few few fortunate few that were able to tour around the country and make a living, you know, doing foosball. If that era were to happen again, I mean, it looks like word world foosball tour might be the possibility. We never we never know until it actually happens. But sponsors. What do you think? What do you think?

[00:07:43] Eric, what do you think the first step should be in getting people like yourself more status within the media coverage? I guess more media coverage. Yeah. I would imagine. I mean, that's what's going to you bring in eyeballs eyeballs brings revenue revenue translates to more sponsors, more opportunities, more money coming in for the actual. Yep. I don't know if you want to call us athletes players.

[00:08:07] Oh, well, I think we should get used to the term athlete because I mean, you two dudes certainly fit the bill. Yeah. So tell me, what about you? What do you think the first step is to moving this forward for the pro masters content content content content? That's the most important thing in everything. Like in modern foods has been doing a good job with that.

[00:08:31] The YouTube shorts, my opinion should have been doing that for a long time, but finally doing it in the views on it are crazy. Yeah, I saw I saw a video of Sam and Sully playing each other. They had 2.3 million views. 2.3 million. Yeah. 2.3 million. One video. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can brag. Go ahead, Eric. I know you want to. I'm not saying anything.

[00:08:57] So Eric has a video on modern foosball where he has a lot of views. He did a slingshot. It's like this 3 point something million views. Was that the shot that won it last night, by the way? No, no, no, no, no, no. It was from. No, no, it's the same shot. Same shot. The clip is from worlds last year. Okay. Same shot. Yeah. That amount of views is so is like unheard of for foosball. And it's so important to get that many. Yeah.

[00:09:27] Yep. It's it's a step in the right direction. Modern Fosball has been doing a good job with that. Like I've been telling Clay, like, keep doing that. Keep doing the shorts. Keep, keep, keep putting out that content. The more I see it, the more easier it'll be to get sponsors. Oh, no question. And people who are saying, wow, do you see what these dudes are doing on the table? I mean, I played this in high school or college and you know, we had fun, but damn. Yeah. I'd say that we have the, we have the skill. We have the talent.

[00:09:56] We have, we have people that can do amazing things that can impress people like the stuff that Munoz can do. Billy can do. Ryan can do. Kind of. Not really. But like we just, we have, we have the people, we have the, we have the people. We just have to be able to produce the content. Right. And make sure that everybody out there who wants to sample it can be aware and know, Hey, where do I find this? Where? This is, this is amazing.

[00:10:26] Um, the other thing I think I really found compelling last night, especially about the coverage with, uh, with modern foods, uh, the, the instant replay. Now, Tommy, is that a distraction for you? Is that, is that something that bothers you in any way when they do an instant replay? I've never noticed it. Okay. Never noticed it, Eric. It's not, uh, they weren't doing it here. Like they run it at, uh, some events where it's basically wait. Okay. Yeah. You know, they weren't, it wasn't like that.

[00:10:54] It didn't, and nothing that they were doing affected gameplay at all. Okay. Good. So if they are running instant replay, that's not affecting gameplay. Great. You know, but even then, even if you got to wait a second, it's not really that bad. They did that at Dallas. Yeah. There you go. That's, that's where it was. I remember them doing it somewhere. Yeah. Okay. You just play with one ball and you just wait for the ball. I gotcha. I gotcha. No, it's, it's that aspect of it to me to, to get a, a more, um, diverse group of people

[00:11:21] watching is people who are not necessarily civic, uh, savvy or, or, you know, top players, they see what is possible slow motion. Right. Exactly. That looked kind of easy. Yeah. So how do I learn how to do that? You know? Um, anyway, so we're, um, we're going forward with the world foosball tour. This obviously was an experiment. Um, if you, Eric had Ryan in front of you right now and you had the opportunity to tell

[00:11:50] him anything you wanted about what went wrong, what would be one thing you'd want to mention? I don't think actually anything went wrong. We had, uh, I'd said a couple of things to Ryan that, um, one that he should have basically every final should have an official at it. Yes. And, uh, he said that was something he was working on. Okay. And then, uh, on top of that, there was, um, some of the stuff was delayed a little bit,

[00:12:19] which is kind of just any foosball tournament, but he, uh, we're going to have, he's going to have to implement something as far as kind of like how they did in Texas, where you're going to have to pick X amount of events because when you have certain players that are, you know, expert or women that are very good and they're playing a bunch of the main events and stuff like that, it ends up holding up a lot of matches. Yeah. Understood. Understood.

[00:12:49] So, is it going to be done in a different day? Maybe? Um, I don't think so much of a different day. I think they just have to be, you can, if you're going to play this, you're not going to play that. Okay. Okay. I got it. I mean, it seems like the ITSF when they did the, uh, the, the world series last year in Dallas, they had that idea, you know, there'd be four events in a day and you can only play one. That's it. Well, they've been doing that in, uh, you know, Texas was you can pick these. If you pick this, you can't play that. Right. Right. So, less conflicts, more pure play.

[00:13:19] And then the finals are very predictable as to when they're going to happen. It's a lot easier to schedule it that way. For sure. Yeah. No question. Um, so, so tell me, how about you? If we put Ryan in front of you right now and you could say anything you wanted to him about what you noticed this weekend, what would you tell him? Um, I would say I, main thing is the conflicts definitely need to get that down, especially if you want to stop the whole tournament for four matches for three hours. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:13:46] You, yeah, you definitely are gonna have to figure something out with that to optimize it. Um, the other thing is don't put open singles first, please. Okay. That goes for all. Okay. Directors. I was very surprised to see it on the schedule for Friday. Yes. I am. I understand. I understand why I understand the thought process for what I've heard is that you don't want to have like open doubles on Sunday night because people aren't going to be there. Right. But I don't know.

[00:14:15] It's somehow there has to be a happy medium. I, that's yeah, that, that, that's what I would say. And I have already accepted. So, so, well, Hey, the suggestions I'm sure are going to be flying. Oh yeah. And, and Ryan has got so much to absorb after this one experience. Um, I gotta say, I mean, overall, as far as I'm concerned, uh, just the look of the place is pretty, pretty extraordinary. Yeah. Pretty amazing. Yeah. They definitely, they definitely planned it out really well. And everything, everything looked exactly how they wanted it to.

[00:14:45] It's about branding. Yes. So, okay. Let's forward fast to a world cup this year, world cup, Eric. Uh, what, what are you doing to prepare for world cup? Um, gonna be practicing on the other tables. Nice. Which are at my house. So how many of the tables do you have? Uh, at my house now we got a lane heart tornado, Banzini and can move a Garlando in that. That I think Tommy's dad has somewhere. Yeah.

[00:15:15] Yeah. Okay. Can make its way in. So we'll have, uh, well, there's a Roberto sport floating around too, but it's not the, uh, latest version of it. So technically you could pretty much have everything there. Okay. Nice. And Tommy, what about you? What are you doing to prepare? Playing a lot of singles against Sam, Sam, Sam, John. That's pretty much it. Singles against Sam. And by the way, for those who don't know Sam, John, uh, of course being Nino, John's, uh, kid, uh, he grew up with a basement full of foosball tables. There's five.

[00:15:45] They still have five. Yeah. I'll he, they have all the tables also. I'll be, I'll be playing singles against multi-table against Sam. Okay. A lot. So yeah, he'll be my practice partner. All right. So, okay, Eric, world cup, they take away tornado. You don't, you can't play a tornado. It's not there. What's your next favorite? Leonhardt. Leonhardt. Okay. Tommy, how about you? Okay. So my favorite table is Ponzini, but I would have to practice a lot on it to actually be able to play.

[00:16:15] Okay. But it's my favorite table. It's the coolest table to me. Um, I love hearing that man. Cause I've been, I feel like I've been in the cold all my life cause that's all I played as a kid was Ponzini. Yeah. I, to me, it's very cool. It's very different. It's just like all, it's more finesse. It's I, I, I like it, but, but, but Leonhardt would be a good idea. It would be my second best. I got you. I got you. So, uh, are you guys bringing extra, extra jackets to trade with the other, the other countries, the, the teams that are exchanging?

[00:16:45] I haven't thought about it. Yeah. That's kind of a, not for me. I was talking first time on the team. I'm keeping that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I blame you for that, but you can get extra for a place. No problem. No, I was talking to, uh, Hannah and Sully earlier today and, and they both were charged up about, yeah, we're bringing extras so we can trade with other countries and stuff. And I think, um, Hannah said she loves the, uh, the Japan, Japan, uh, uniform, their style. Japan always has really cool. Right.

[00:17:15] Right. So I've never seen that before though. You go to a tournament and you're trading your jacket with somebody. I mean, that's, it's cool. Yeah. It's cool. I mean, it's, it's, it's promoting good, uh, good relations between nations. I've got a, I've got a pile of the, uh, other country jerseys and stuff like that. That came from, uh, Tony over the years that somehow filtered to me. So. Yeah. So Eric, what can you tell us about Tony's situation this year?

[00:17:43] Is he going to be at a tornado worlds? Oh yeah. Okay. And, uh, uh, the classic in Vegas. Yep. Okay. Awesome. So we'll be seeing him stateside pretty soon. Yep. It's ITSF world series in Texas. He'll be there. Um, not sure what else, but those, uh, he'll be definitely in Vegas, definitely at, uh, Texas and I'm assuming definitely at worlds. Awesome. Very cool. I see he been talking to you about, uh, playing. It's it's Texas. We're playing. Oh, nice.

[00:18:14] Oh, very cool. Very cool. Well, um, that's, that's a killer pairing. You guys are a killer pairing, but that's a killer pairing as well. Uh, so Tommy, what about yourself? What are you planning on for, uh, for a partner when it comes to ITSF and, uh, ITSF Dallas. I'm playing with, uh, Brandon Munoz. Brandon. Wow. Now you guys did that before. Yeah. We played Florida state. Uh, it was, it was, it was good. All right. It was definitely really good.

[00:18:42] I really enjoyed playing with him. Okay. And yeah, I'm really excited to play with him again. I mean, it's, that's a really tough combination right there. So, um, this weekend you guys were coming through the brackets pretty, pretty heavily. Uh, I mean, it's championship format. Uh, of course you, you, you won. So I'm wondering how you both feel about staying with the championship format. Is that something Eric you're, you're cool with?

[00:19:08] Um, I actually probably would prefer, uh, qualifying and single. Okay. But, uh, the champion format's great when you win. Oh yeah. Or you're in the final. Sure. But when you don't and the tournament's basically over, you watch the final and then you're playing the next day for a tournament that you can't win. Maybe third it better. Right. That's it.

[00:19:33] But at the same time, such as this, when third place pays decent, then there's still that incentive to do it. So it's cool that the money's good enough to, you know, try. Yep. But at the same time, I, you know, I mean, I don't know the money's the money is what it is. Me, I would rather just win. I gotcha. Yeah. Well, there's always that. And tell me about yourself. How do you feel about that? I definitely like championship format a lot more than double elimination.

[00:20:01] It makes more sense. It makes more sense. Um, and I think I, and what he said, qualifying into single elimination, that doesn't work unless you pre-seed the top 16 teams. Okay. It doesn't work because then you're playing if an upset, an upset or two, then you're playing against like the best team in the world. Yeah. In the quarterfinals or whatever. Which had happened to us in Texas a year or two. Yes. Okay.

[00:20:31] I gotcha. But it's not even what happened to us. It could happen to anybody. Yeah. And like, to me, like that is single, that, that is probably the best way of doing it the way TSF does it. Okay. Single elimination. But you have to see the top 16 teams. Oh, sure. Maybe even top eight. But, um, but I think championship format is definitely better than double elimination. Okay. Okay. It's, it, it, it makes more sense because, well, and I like it a lot more.

[00:20:59] And I say that I lost this weekend, but to me, there's still isn't enough incentive to keep playing and trying to win. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, something to strive for to, to just be undefeated for the entire round. And that's it. That is a, it is a, I'm not, I'm, I'm fine with the championship format. I wouldn't be my first choice clearly, but at the same time, there's a hundred percent something to be said for the winner should have never lost. Yes. Yep.

[00:21:28] And I've been on the other side of that where I've came back and doubled it before, but still technically you kind of think that the winner should have never lost. Right. Right. Right. Well, in most sports, that's the way it is. Right. So you have to kind of follow the, the, the contemporary trends. So guys, I got to say, I mean, it's, it's watching you guys play last night. Um, I have to ask, um, Eric, when it comes to those clutch moments and you, you closed the

[00:21:56] deal last night with that slingshot from the two run was that how much time did it take you to actually decide to do that in the, in the instant of the play? What? I knew I was doing it. You were doing it. Yeah. Gotcha. You had it already. Well, no. So I, I, I'd shot one early in the match that was on goal that got blocked. Okay. I shot another one that scored. Yep. And it was, they had switched.

[00:22:21] So we had Cody up front and it's a shot where I'm setting up and Cody, who's a bank shooter. Yep. And I'm setting up where he thinks I'm going to shoot a bank. He's kind of selling out on making sure he's in the right spot for me to shoot a bank. So I thought if I blast this thing and hit it clean, there's a good chance it's at least going on goal. Oh yeah. Yeah. And it went, it went on goal. So Tommy, how about yourself? What was going through your mind there? You know, you get down to that.

[00:22:48] I mean, Cody and Sam, tough competitors. Yeah. But what was, what was your, what was your thought? How long did you think you were going to, you would have to play to, to, to make it? You mean, are you talking about Eric shot? Well that, but also what was going through your mind as you, as you were plotting the next move? Next move. Um, I don't know. I was just trying to figure out how I want, how to score on Sam. Uh, he, he has a very good defense.

[00:23:18] I play, I play, I played so much against him. He knows all my options. He knows everything I like to do. He's blocked me hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times. Uh, it's tough. But Sam, Sam has a, Sam has a good defense. Sure. And, uh, he's, he's really weird with his defense. Like he doesn't react sometimes. Sometimes he does react and then he's, he, it's, he's tough to score on. Um, is he trying to force you to do things? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:23:46] He, in, especially if I'm having shot on him, he can be tough to score on. It's been, I haven't shot on him in a long time. Normally, normally I play against him before a tournament, but this time I play against him. So I didn't really, I couldn't, I couldn't really remember exactly what I, what I normally did. So I was in that moment, I was just trying to figure out like what I wanted to do. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm from my next shot. And, and knowing his, his game and you, him knowing your game as well, there's a lot of adjustments that have to take place in the, in the split, split second.

[00:24:15] Definitely. The chess match gets really intense. Yeah. And then with me and him, we go back and forth. Like I'll, I'll do like a certain shot on them and I'll just like, like I'll, I'll do like a near side. Like I was always getting him on a near side tap middle or I tapped in the near side, go back middle. Okay. And I was scoring that on him all the time. Then he bought his, then eventually started bringing his three bar guy in and I would go tap near side, deep push side. Then now he's blocking it with his two bars. So now I do tap to the near side, hitch, pull side.

[00:24:44] And yeah, there's a lot of that stuff. That's just what you just did. What you just calculated it. That's a, that's a masterclass in, in, in shooting that three row. I mean, yeah. My God. Yeah. And Sam, Sam also already understands all that stuff. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm quick opinion about Sam DeJohn, obviously 16 years of age, was a pro at 13. Um, and we always wondered if he, you know, once he met, well, his girlfriend and got his

[00:25:10] license and stuff, whether or not he'd stick with it, but he seems as dedicated as ever. What, what do you think about Sam's game? What do you think is the potential of him becoming pro master soon? I don't, I don't think he definitely, he definitely can. I think his thing is going to be to keep staying motivated, keep, keep wanting to play. He has the talent, obviously. Um, he definitely can.

[00:25:39] It's going to be about if he really, really wants it. Sure. Because there's a lot of good players and it's going to be tough to, there's a lot of good players that won, especially at the big tournaments. Oh yeah. So he's, he's going to have to really decide that he really wants to really, really wants to go all out on it. Which he may. Okay. And he's still only 16. He can improve. Right, right, right, right. So he definitely has the potential. It's very, very possible, if not very likely. What was the last time?

[00:26:09] I guess what? Billy Pappas turned pro master, what, at 17? That I don't know. Yeah, I forgot. 17, 18. That was, that was before my time. Yeah, yeah, right. I didn't start playing until I was 30. That's right. The first two, my first, my first tour event, I think I was 30 years old. Dude. Maybe, maybe it might've been 29, but it was either 29 or 30. How did you get that good that quickly? Living with Tony. Yeah. Well, there you go. Okay. Nevermind. Nevermind.

[00:26:38] Oh, incidentally, I, while I'm thinking of it, when's your next novel? What's the novel do out? Uh, I'm actually pretty close to wrapping one up. So maybe, uh, eh, next month. Any, uh, any characters we can recognize when we read your book from the, uh, I know cause you draw a lot of, uh, inspiration from people, you know, in foosball. Yeah. Then this one is, uh, uh, the previous bad guys kind of coming back. So no, no, no foosball players getting killed in this one. Interesting.

[00:27:08] So the bad guy in the last book, um, we maybe assumed that he was done for that was it. It was over, but not a brother of someone from a couple books ago coming back to get some revenge. Oh God. Oh, love that man. The family connection. Dig that. Well, and, uh, so when it, when it comes out, I mean, you come on the show and talk about it. Sure. Why not? Cool. Awesome.

[00:27:32] It's, uh, it, it, not often do we get a chance to talk to not only a top pro foosball player who plays goalie mostly, but also an author, man. I mean, that that's, you know, it just blows my mind. It's a job. Everyone's got a job. And of course your partner here. Well, he's got a job too. And it, uh, you can't talk about it by the way, you'd have to kill us both. I try to get him to talk about it all the time. He just won't do it, which is probably for the best. I would think so.
