And no, from the center of the universe.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, family and friends. Welcome back to the incredible

Thraftime show on your podcast, download and radio dial. Dr. Z, we are in store for an

for an incredible show today. We're going to be interviewing none other than Tom Peters,

the renowned business, the best-selling author of In Search of Excellence. And he has a new

book called The Excellence Dividend that is hitting bookstores everywhere. And he's

going to be on the show talking about it. But first, Z, we've got a little housekeeping.

We got it. We have to take care of it.

First of all, I just want to say I'm, I'm slight to moderately jacked up today.

Are you really?

I'm just, I'm fired up.

Yeah, your Cubs apparel on. I got my Cubs apparel on. Yes, I died. Yes, I went up to

the world series when they went a couple of years ago. So yeah, didn't tell us about

that. Was that a good time? Oh, it was a great time. Yeah, sat in the outfield. I was

in left left field. And we lost that game. We as if I'm, you know, Cubs, a Cubs guy.

I'm a Cubs fan.

Most responsible.

The World Cup.

Holy cow.
