"This is bugging me, I can't decide about this person." I don't know why but this comment from you made me laugh really hard. Several folks mentioned Breaking Bad to me when I told them I was writing about a car wash guy, but I never saw the show so I can't confirm. Thanks as always Rob!
That car wash broker interview was fascinating. I love stories that look at niche things most people don't even know exist. Might have to check my Southwest points to see if I can get to Nashville for the car wash show.

Can you please profile the sesame street tarot guy? He's from NY. https://www.tiktok.com/@zmannzilla
So funny! I was just reading about him for first time on the Garbage Day Substack yesterday. I'll check him out. Thanks for the idea Bridget!
Always the most fascinating, unexpected stories!
Had to do a double take on those kitten/puppy interviews.
Thanks Emily!
“Grand Canyon was more like Grand Blandyon!” This is bugging me, I can't decide about this person.
Also: Wasn't a car wash a key Walter White business in Breaking Bad? Not important but I couldn't help but think about it.
Anyway superlative stuff as ever!

Oh wow! someone mentioned this to me recently... it's really real! And a NYT bestseller no less. Whoever did this is a genius.
I laughed so loud with the one star reviews 🤣 what on earth is wrong people?????
"postal worker" - heh!
Another great episide! The "good news" feels like The Onion. I like Captain Bayonne better than the Gas Man. Good to have a favorite superhero.
Thanks Mark. I understand where you're coming from, but we have to give Gas Man a chance!
I can give him a chance, but cannot stand behind him :)
Regarding the puppy-kitten-kidney story, please give me the contact information for your mushroom dealer. Thanks!
It's more of a caffeine thing, actually.

Road trip!
