Welcome into the Josh Hendrickson show.

I'm Neil McCready, joined as always by one Josh Hendrickson, chair of economics at the University of Mississippi.

Josh, welcome back into the show.

We got a lot of big things to talk about but i'm just going to

after we say hello and stuff we're going to get right to the most important thing right off the

top so prepare yourself mentally for for uh what's coming how are you pretty good all right

i feel guilty about this.

There's a room full of things to prove that I'm,

I've been a very loyal, diehard Chicago Cubs fan,

pretty much my whole life.

I have not really kept up this year.

I'm aware of what's going on,

but I haven't,

I've only watched a handful of games.

You watch every game, pretty much.

You came in here today.

We're just chatting before we start.

And you did something I've never heard you do before.

You're like, I think the Cubs are good.

Expound.

No, I think that just watching them so far this year,

they've played a really tough schedule so far in terms of the teams that they're playing.
