## Resource

This week we're joined by Matt Starr who co-created Dream Baby Press and heads creative strategy and events at Substack. We talk about the start of Dream Baby and how the Penn Station Sbarro is both the saddest place in New York City and home to some very horny poetry. We review our therapist dating histories and Matt ranks the best Substacks of all time. If therapy's not for you don't worry, because we reveal the one side dish that's worth living for in your darkest moments AND where to get it. Dr. Fil who?
