Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mary Kenniston - Part 7 (Survivor, Storyteller, and Keeper of Pool’s Memory)
Q: How would you like to be remembered?
As a survivor and the de facto historian who preserved the sport's memories for future generations, and as someone who kept the stories alive for fans through photography, writing, and archiving.
Mary Kenniston - Part 7 (Survivor, Storyteller, and Keeper of Pool’s Memory)
Q: If you could take one career mulligan, what would it be and why?
In 1989 at the US Open, I over-amped on a critical shot that would have won me the tournament, and that mistake still haunts me because the position play was there all along with a smoother stroke.
Mary Kenniston - Part 7 (Survivor, Storyteller, and Keeper of Pool’s Memory)
Q: If you knew at 20 what you know now, what would you do differently?
I would have finished college, not delayed by knee injuries, and focused more on documenting and learning the game earlier, which would have helped me develop a more systematic approach to my pool career.
Gerda Hofstatter-Gregerson - Part 4 (Hall of Fame, Family, and Life Beyond the Table)
Q: If you had one career mulligan, a shot you would do over, where would you take it?
I would likely choose a moment where I could have played it safer or chosen a more defensive option instead of going for a riskier shot that didn't pay off, recognizing that strategic defense often wins at the highest level.
Mitch Laurance - Part 3 (From Balboa to “Bula Vinaka Beachside”: Mitch Laurance on Golf, Great Actors, and the Freedom to Perform)
Q: Which performance, looking back, are you most proud of?
Mitch mentioned his role in LA Law where he had an important closing monologue, noting it was a significant moment of freedom for him and a highlight of his acting career.
