8:04 – 8:52 – How much of your memories of him (William Jensen) do you see when you see him play now?
8:52 – 10:27 – You are another person that is eligible for the Hall of Fame. This year, with excellent finishes, when will the talk be about you being on the top of the ballot?
10:27 – 11:04 – Would it be easier for you if you could just play the Pro Tour because you are a Hall of Famer?

17:09 – 18:47 – Because of all the Hall of Famers on the team, have the standards been raised on who becomes a part of it?
19:04 – 20:18 – Working with someone like Frank Karsten for the next Pro Tour and seeing quality players like him come back to play again on the Tour, how special is that to you?
20:18 – 21:12 – Who do you think that didn’t make the Hall of Fame this year should’ve?
