I only listened to about 2 minutes of the 2+ hour podcast/video. For anyone interested to hear Daniel, he is a part of the entire program from beginning to end from what I can tell.
As far as the statement of being the 'best' or 'one of the best' poker players, have at it. He is definitely notable and in my opinion has done quite a bit to bring people to poker (much like Doyle, Phil H., Phil I, etc.) however, poker is evolving and there is always new talent or notable up-and-comers, and one could say are 'the best' for that time, too.
