I'm not pulling out of the driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work, coronavirus edition. Okay, I've been doing a lot of interviews, and that's not going to stop. So today I brought from the past, from our knees past, Wolf Werpert.

Hey, Mark, how are you doing? So, Worth. Okay, so we're going to start what we always start is talking about how you got into magic.

Yeah, it begins at the beginning.

I walked into a comic shop in 1993 when I happened to be in between my senior year,

just about to start my freshman year of college and found some people playing on a table.

I was a D&D guy and a comics guy forever and obviously loved games too. So I was instantly hooked and sort of from there,

the rest of history. I bought some cards and started playing and then found the pro tour,

which I'm sure we'll probably get into a little bit more later in the segment, which got me

the attention of all of you guys. And then whatever it was, seven years from there into a little bit more later in the segment, which got me the attention of all of you guys. And then, whatever it was, seven years from there, a little less than seven years from there,

I started working at Wizards. Okay, well, we'll get there. Let's back up a little bit. Okay,

so, so interesting, you and I are from the same place, I'm with the audience notice this, but we're both from Cleveland, Ohio. Yeah, we grew up, what, half an hour from each other? Not even, probably.

Oh, less than that, I think.

Yeah, 20 minutes.

So anyway, so you started playing when you were in high school.

So what's the gap between that and you get into the pro tour?

How much time elapsed before you started playing on the pro tour? I mean, literally when I, so I was in California, of all places, staying with a girl.

And in the summer, so it was right after Gen Con 93.

And I'm assuming, I actually think the folks I saw playing might have been at Gen Con

and brought cards back.

And so it was, I had just graduated high school, whatever it was, that previous June,

and was about to start college.

So I don't know, technically I was in the in the between's. But yeah, it was like from the very beginning.
