All right, folks, welcome to our podcast today.

Thanks for tuning in.

Today I'm joined by a very cool individual from the far north, the Yukon.

This is Greg McHale.

Is that the correct way you pronounce your last name? Yes, it is.

Awesome. Hey, welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us today. No, thank you very much and I'm going to start off by saying speaking of names Joseph

Van Benedict is like about as cool as they come.

So, well thank you.'s Austrian in background.

Yeah, funny, when I first hired on as an associate editor many, many moons ago,

the editor that hired me is a cheerful, wonderful, tongue-in-cheek sort of chap and he told me after he said,

you know the only reason we hired you is for your last name.

Anybody with the last name, Von Benedict has to be a gunwriter.

It's awesome. When I first learned I was actually listening to your

podcast and yeah I heard your name come up and thought like that's yeah

very distinguished so and then and then the voice comes along with it so you've got the total package there.

So congratulations.

Not that you had anything to do with either one of them but.

Thanks man. Beware, flattery will get you anywhere so. Okay, so last year your show
