Hmmm, there seems to be a reluctance by some here to learn anything about cultures other than their own.

Bob..think he was saying balls were made "like it was a hanger"...or perhaps a 2 rail kick shot to make a hanger?

(edit) Okay, listened again. "He banked in 4 or 5 two railers...the ball near a pocket like it was a hanger.". That means, an object ball was near a pocket, but not the one pocket Corey had to sink it in. So, he hit the object ball so it hit a rail, then the rail on the other side of the pocket, and it travelled on a path into the pocket he was shooting for. (a bank is when the cue ball hits the object ball first. A kick is when the cue ball hits the rail first.) So, he's saying that Corey made 4 or 5 of these shots...takes talent with a bit of luck to do even one of these. A hanger is an easily made ball. "hanging" between the jaws of the pocket. But even a hanger can create problems...easy to scratch.

Obvious that this guy was highly impressed with the talent display he'd witnessed...
