Welcome into another edition of the Josh Hendrickson show here on MPW Digital.

I'm Neil McCready, joined, as you might expect, by the chair of economics at the University of Mississippi, otherwise known as Ole Miss.

That's Josh Hendrickson.

Josh, welcome back into the show. How are you? Not too bad. Full disclosure, we were scheduled to go last week. My schedule got in the way. This actually works out better long term for our schedule, so it was a blessing in disguise. So we'll be with you today, which is the 8th, and then we'll be back with you again on the 22nd.

And had we done it the other way, we would have missed probably two shows in a row.

So the podcast gods were looking out for me.

There you go.

All right.

I know everybody expects us to start with Trump and with Iran and there's a lot

going on and social media posts and threats of nuclear obliteration. Although I don't know

that he ever said nuclear obliteration. He just threatened to obliterate all of Iran. I think he said

he was going to wipe out an entire civilization or something along those lines.

But we sometimes start with our shared love of the Chicago Cubs.

And you said you have a theory or a thought on Tommy John.

People will say, what is Tommy John?

It's the elbow surgery.

That is the death nail for a season for a pitcher.

The Cubs have a young starting pitcher named Kate Horton,

who was the runner up for National League Rookie of the Year, a year ago.

His first start this season was excellent.

And so I guess it was Friday or Saturday.

He was pitching Friday.
