Tod Olson: Hello, my name is Tod Olson, which is very hard to mispronounce and very easy to misspell because my parents chose to spell it with just one "d", T-o- d. Which in German spells a noun death, I don't know what message they were trying send to me but years later I made the dubious choice, from a literary perspective, to marry a woman of Italian heritage who's last name is Mata. Now, Mata refers to a club, a kind of a medieval mace which on occasion was used to beat people to death. Now, if you're listening to this you're probably familiar with the literary device known as foreshadowing and I'll just leave it at that.
