Part 2 is up:

https://www.youtube....h?v=T5dko-yQ4w4

We talk about the trials, basketball, poker, chess, maths, HCP/LTC, the Rodwell Files, why I suck at bridge (and so can you!), and finally, life. I enjoyed making it a lot, thanks a lot Justin!
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Thanks Diana, I think Csaba did a great job with the questions and we were both a little more ready this time (aka I was not smoking and lying in my bed drunk :P). I think we will make this a semi-regular thing, and I will also try to talk to other people and try and get them to do some interviews with Csaba. Would be cool if he could get a lot of different people imo.

Yep, you both are easier to follow this time. I struggled a little to understand the first interview (bec of my English, obv, I suppose it's not a problem for native speakers)

super interview, one bit I really enjoyed was when Justin recommended not paying attention as dummy. My partner is a better card player than me, but At times recently I've found myself getting so involved in the decisions he has to make or so annoyed at his line etc etc that I lose focus on the next board. If i just switched off or took myself out of the room when I'm dummy I'm sure we'd do much better!

Some people believe it's important to pay attention as dummy because you need to see your opponents' behavior, but I am just too stupid to follow and go to sleep instead.

What gets me is how often defenders play in such a way as to conceal their card from dummy. I don't think they do it on purpose mind you. It's more like to them dummy (the player) is irrelevant.
