Podcasts about Waffle House Index

Boy, do we have topics to cover: a go-to kids' podcasts, sweet treat updates, a new approach to nyms, duvet cover drama, and more.    Yes, we know about the Greeking Out podcast from National Geographic, and it is great. Speaking of NatGeo, we love Mickey Rapkin's Pattie Gonia profile.   Our sugar fix(es): Katz Honey Vinegar, tiramisu served tableside at Piccola Cucina Osteria (or in a wee NY Yankees cap), See's Scotchmallows, Zu's Candies chic boxes, and pandan in cereal and ice cream sandwiches and many other treats.    This classic Onion article from 2000.

The 24/7 short order restaurant Waffle House is known for staying open during natural disasters, so much so that federal agencies gauge where to start helping in areas where they’re closed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week JIm and Richard discuss The Waffle House Index, football playoffs, movies, TV, books, and Richard saw something cool. All this plus much more. Enjoy!

Hello! And welcome to this very brief end-of-year update of Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous podcast! Together we rediscover some of the most traumatic, bizarre and awe-inspiring but largely unheard-of or forgotten disasters from throughout human history and around the world.Let me begin today's exciting episode by explaining the next episode will be late but I wanted to use this opportunity to quickly get you salivating over a few things coming up, and explain a few things that'll make you all “say whaaat?”I want to do something reeeally big for December. I've been in discussion with a surprising number of you who've settled on a common and popular request: a Very Doomsday Christmas Chernobylsode! Hang the holly and take your iodide caplets – what's more festive (and on-brand) than a little face-melting horror for the holidays?Not just that – a very unique and singular listener of the show asked, nay, begged to hear a minisode covering and explaining the Waffle House Index. And the request came from highly unusual origins. You ever do a DNA test? Well, I did a DNA test, and for my Patreons, I'm going to be sharing the very complicated, bittersweet, lightly tragic and dramatic story of my discovery. And whatever you're guessing – you're already wrong.When people find a flaw in the editing or sound production, or a week goes by without a show, I point out this show is created while the rest of you sleep, and I'm happy episodes release at all. And if it wasn't for my Patreons, they would not – I can't emphasize that enough. If not for the generosity of our Patreon supporters, I would move onto male stripping or pet theft or something really shady and there would not be a show. If you were lucky enough to live near a Waffle House or already know exactly how your family tree works, why not celebrate by considering becoming a supporter at Patreon.com/FuneralKazoo. Early episodes with no ad breaks and additional ridiculously interesting material in each new episode are up for grabs. If the spirit of the season moves, but only so much, you're very welcome to visit buymeacoffee.com/doomsday and just buy a cup of coffee so to speak. You can reach out on twitter, instagram and facebook as DoomsdayPodcast or fire us an email to doomsdaypod@gmail.comOn the next episode:  Sorry I had to blow you off for a week, but I'm confident that this new episode is going to blow you away. Maybe into a tree, or into a broken section of flying railroad track – who knows. Either way, we're all going to drown! It's the Galveston Hurricane Disaster of 1900!But until then, we'll talk soon. Safety googles off.

Summary The conversation discusses the concept of the pizza meter, which suggests that an increase in pizza orders from government buildings can be indicative of important political or military events. The pizza meter has been observed to predict events such as the invasion of Grenada and Panama. The Pentagon has attempted to combat the pizza meter by sending aides out to physically get pizzas and mixing up the orders. However, the pizza meter remains a popular and intriguing phenomenon. The conversation also touches on the nostalgia and romance associated with pizza, as well as its role in social gatherings and workplace celebrations. The conversation explores the concept of the pizza meter and its potential implications for national security. It discusses how the frequency of pizza orders to the Pentagon can inadvertently reveal sensitive information to adversaries. The conversation also touches on other food-related metrics, such as the Waffle House index and the stripper index, which can provide insights into the state of the economy. The hosts emphasize the importance of paying attention to local knowledge and intuition in understanding societal trends and potential crises.

Surgeons removed an 8-centimetre, living roundworm from a 64-year-old patient's brain followed an abnormal MRI. Doctors believe the infection likely came from foraged greens contaminated with python poo. The most reliable sign that it's about to get bad is a “closed” sign in a Waffle House window. That's right—it's the Waffle House Index. Waffle House's own webpage about this phenomenon quotes FEMA administrator Craig Fugate: “If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That's really bad.”    Tuesday - 8/29/2023See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you familiar with the Waffle House Index? After Hurricane Ian devastated the peninsula of Florida Brian interviewed Bert Thornton President/COO – Vice Chairman Emeritus of Waffle House. Listen in as Bert describes the Waffle House Leadership model, how serving in times of need is a top priority for the Waffle House team. The team is dedicated to keeping their stores open to provide food and a place of rest to first responders and those in the community without power or food. Those who respond to storms can count on Waffle House, this is a distinguishing characteristic in fast food. The leadership at Waffle House has resolved they will not “turn tail and run during bad times” but will work intentionally to provide ground support to the restaurants to get them open immediately when safe to do so.

Disaster Economics, Do We Have The Will To Change? I was writing a piece for this week on the efforts of humanitarians in the world. (This is because I had a great interview published on June 7 on Prepare. Response. Recover.) I could not shake the need to talk about disaster economics. As the hurricane season is upon us, Alex is heading to Flordia with an early-season storm as I read these words. We need to look at some history to address the future. On February 1, 1953, a fierce, sustained storm created a massive surge in the North Sea off the coast of Holland. Floodwaters overtopped the dikes, swallowing half a million acres of land and killing nearly two thousand people. Within weeks of the storm, the government of Holland created a plan known as the Delta Plan, which is a set of recommendations for flood-control measures. Over the next four decades, the Dutch invested billions of guilders in a vast collection of dams and barriers, culminating in constructing the Maeslant (Mas Lont) Barrier, an enormous movable seawall to protect the port of Rotterdam. Since the Delta Plan, the Netherlands has not been flooded by the sea again.In the United States, policymakers fail to look at how disasters and the recovery process are costing taxpayers more money, time, and effort than if we invest in prevention, infrastructure improvements, and meaningful mitigation efforts. Brock Long stated in an interview, "we're in a vicious cycle of communities being impacted by disasters and having to constantly rebuild. And it's almost as if we're not learning anything from what mother nature and history has taught us." In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, which brought havoc to the Northeast and inflicted tens of billions of dollars in damage, it's overwhelmingly clear that parts of the U.S. need a Delta Plan of their own. Sandy was not an isolated incident: Hurricane Irene caused nearly sixteen billion dollars in damage, and Hurricane Michael caused $25.1 billion. There is a growing consensus that extreme weather events are becoming more common and damaging. The annual cost of natural disasters in the U.S. has doubled over the past two decades. Instead of just cleaning up after disasters hit. We need to ask whether we can find the political will to invest in such ideas. Although politicians have called for significant new investment in disaster prevention, reports from Washington suggest that Congress will be more willing to spend money on relief than on preparedness.That's what history would lead you to expect: for the most part, the U.S. has shown a marked bias toward relieving victims of disaster while underinvesting in prevention. A study by the economist Andrew Healy and the political scientist Neil Malhotra showed that, between 1985 and 2004, the government spent annually, on average, fifteen times as much on disaster relief as on preparedness.Politically speaking, it's always easier to shell out money for a disaster that has already happened, with clearly identifiable victims, than to invest money in protecting against something that may or may not occur in the future. Healy and Malhotra found that voters reward politicians for spending money on post-disaster cleanup but not for investing in disaster prevention, and it's only natural that politicians respond to this incentive. The federal system complicates matters, too: local governments want decision-making authority, but major disaster-prevention projects are bound to require federal money. And much crucial infrastructure in the U.S. is owned by the private sector, not the government, making it harder to do something like bury power lines.These are genuine hurdles, and safeguarding the great expanse of the Atlantic coast is a much more expensive proposition than defending Holland's smaller one. But there's a more fundamental problem: the U.S., as a rule, tends to underinvest in public infrastructure. We've been skimping on the maintenance of roads and bridges for decades. The American Society of Civil Engineers gives the nation's infrastructure a grade of C-minus; however, 11 of the 17 infrastructure categories evaluated are graded in the "D" range. In addition, they found that 70% of the nation's electrical transmission and distribution lines are well into the second half of their expected 50-year lifespans. In the United States, utility customers experienced just over eight hours of power interruptions in 2020, more than double the amount in 2013, when the government began tracking outage lengths. Last four times as long as those in France and seven times as long as those in the Netherlands. This isn't because of a lack of resources; the U.S. is the biggest economy. Though we may have the most incredible twenty-first-century technology in our homes, we're stuck with mid-twentieth-century roads and wires.Meaningful disaster-prevention measures will undoubtedly be expensive: Yet inaction can be even more costly; after Katrina, the government had to spend more than a hundred billion dollars on relief and reconstruction—and there are good reasons to believe that disaster-control measures could save money in the long run.  The A.S.C.E. estimates that federal spending on levees pays for itself six times over. That is, the investment in infrastructure is saving taxpayers money. The federal government is already on the hook for all the damage caused by disasters. To be prudent stewards of taxpayers' money, we need to address how much those disasters cost and put money into prevention and preparedness programs. What To Read Global Risk Report 2022: Implications for crisis managementThe Global Risk Report identifies global risk perceptions among risk experts and world leaders in business, government, and civil society. It presents the results of the latest Global Risks Perception Survey, followed by an analysis of critical risks emanating from current economic, societal, environmental, and technological tensions. The report concludes with reflections on enhancing resilience, drawing from the lessons of the last two years of the Covid-19 pandemic.Accounting for probabilities in conflictIn his latest blog, Phil Trendall says that we must stop hiding behind likelihood calculations when it comes to emergency planning. The U.K. needs to think about what civil protection looks like in a war that could escalate.PodcastsThe Todd DeVoe Show  What Disaster Recovery Teaches U.S.Have you ever thought about what happens with the personal effects of the disaster zone? Robert A. Jensen has written an up-close and personal look at the complex work behind the yellow tape. He has chronicled the grim job of sorting through the personal effects and what the unique tool the repeated exposure to mass death brings.Prepare Respond Recover For Waffle House, Keeping the Doors Open is About CommunityIn the Southern U.S., spotting the iconic Waffle House sign means a hot meal, a stop on a long drive, or a place to gather with friends. Waffle House is Americana at its best and a symbol of pride for Southerners. Following the 2011 Joplin Tornado, F.E.M.A. Director Craig Fugate created the Waffle House Index, an informal metric that helped F.E.M.A. determine the storm's impact based on if the local Waffle House restaurants were closed or open. But even before the index, continuity of operations was ingrained in the culture of Waffle House. We are joined in this episode by Will Mizell, VP of People for Waffle House, to talk about how they prepare, respond, and recover from a disaster. While it may not make fiscal sense to remain open, Waffle House keeps operations going for the communities they serve. Don't be surprised if you happen to be in a Waffle House after a bad storm.

Indices galore today, Campers! Today, Meghan takes us back in time with the story of Bridey Murphy, and we once again rail against capitalism as Madison tells us about the Waffle House Index.

When we hear the word “vocation”, many people think vocational training and technical education. But, the word “vocation” has deeper roots in the idea of a calling or an occupation to which a person is especially drawn, suited, trained, or qualified. By no means is this calling obvious, and in fact finding vocation often means a series of unpredictable twists and turns until one finds themselves in a career they would never have imagined at the beginning of their journey. For this episode of Hardly Working, I am joined by Andrew Donaldson to discuss his own vocational journey. He is a writer at https://twitter.com/ordinarytimemag (Ordinary Times) magazine and “https://medium.com/yonder-and-home (Yonder and Home)” where he ties together politics, history, culture, food, faith, and place through words and stories. We discuss Andrews upbringing in West Virginia, his military career and vocational transition out of the military, the ongoing crisis of opioid addiction in Appalachia, and of course his writing on everything from Waffle House to the bifurcation of conservatism. Donaldson's story reflects relentless perseverance, profound sense of place, and the sorts of connections – to family, food, and faith – that sit at the heart of what it means to be human.

The Atlanta Story podcast features meaningful stories of Atlanta's builders, creators, and entrepreneurs. In this episode Jon Birdsong sits down with Joe Rogers Jr, Chairman of Waffle House.  In 1979, Joe brokered a deal earning him and the Rogers family controlling interest of the steadily growing Waffle House franchise. Under his leadership, Waffle House grew to over 1900 restaurants while employing over 35,000 people. In the interview, Joe discusses how Waffle House navigated the Covid crisis, the values that make Waffle House so unique, why most of their restaurants are located in the Southeast, and much more!   The Atlanta Story is put together by the folks at Atlanta Ventures -- and we can't wait to share some of the personalities behind the brand. Atlanta Ventures invests in entrepreneurs through community, content, and capital -- most notably through our Studio with companies like Greenzie and Intown Golf Club.
