When the hilarious and typically New York-neurotic author Delia Ephron sat down with Marketplace, she had some numbers to share with us. 

• Uber rating: 4.5. “I was in a car uptown and the driver told me, you have a 4.5. If it drops to a 4, no one will pick you up.” The answer? “Tip $5 to get 5.”

• Blowdry rating: (undisclosed). Ephron admitted to 2 blowouts per week, at an untold cost, plus taxi fare to and from. “It’s breaking me.”

• PageRank: “I Googled you [Kai]. The first thing that comes up is your salary.”

• Nervous rating: “I’m not the person you want sitting in the exit row on an airplane. I go from 0 to 100 faster than anyone you’ve ever met.”

Marketplace’s road show, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Numbers, wraps up in Los Angeles, Saturday, November 8. Buy tickets here.
