BONUS | The Waffle House Index: America’s Strangest Dining Minisode
We’ve been a lot of places together on this show. I’m trying to think of the weirdest. Nuclear reactors, insane asylums, the mouths of volcanoes; but now, by fan request, it’s finally time that we visit our strangest location yet: a restaurant. And before we begin – IHOP you survive the experience!
On today’s episode: we’re visiting an American institution, recognized around the world for it’s bizarre duality as a magnet for cartoonish levels of violence (for an all-day breakfast place) – and its role as America’s most well-respected king of disaster logistics.
And if you were listening on Patreon: I would specifically teach you how to incapacitate an opponent and pull their still-beating heart out of their chest like you're Mola Ram from Temple of Doom. I am not kidding. It won’t be as easy as it sounds, so we’ll have to baby step our way through it, and when we are done, just knowing you have that knowledge is going to give you a kind of confidence and strut you’ve never felt before – so I am sorry, and you are welcome.
On that note, two things: I’m almost jealous of those of you from other countries who’ve never heard the tales of the Waffle House. And I’m going to continue this minisode in the future with a sequel exploring an unexpected way my life was profoundly changed during the making of this show. It involves secrets and intrigue and DNA and it'll be a tale more personal and private than I’ve ever shared, but that will only be for my Patreons. In the meantime, I do hope you enjoy this minisode, and maybe even feel a little safer for it. Part one starts now.
