## Resource

Years in the making, we hosted someone who inspired the show, someone whose influence is undeniable, someone whose hot takes are scorching, we welcome the one, the only Mordechai Rubinstein, photographer, writer, father, dude, Deadhead, archivist. Truly a man of many parts! Our extended conversation was exactly what we'd hoped for: explosive, enjoyable, telling, and a barrel of laughs. We talked uniforms, we talked photography, we talked ethos, and perhaps most importantly, we talked about the origin story and the lore around who he is. We even got a speedrun through a portion of his closet! We hope you'll enjoy this journey of a nearly mythical man as much as we did.
