著名财务顾问和媒体人物，创立了广受欢迎的“婴儿步骤”财务计划。
Josh: 我认为Waffle House Index是关于Waffle House连锁店最有趣的事情。我们之前也多次提到过Waffle House，甚至考虑过专门做一期节目，但现在看来，关于Waffle House Index的内容已经足够丰富了。我最后一次去Waffle House是和Hodgman一起，那次经历让我印象深刻。
Chuck: Waffle House不惜一切代价都要保持营业，这实际上是公司的一项设计。他们有备用发电机和有限菜单，以应对食物短缺和停电等紧急情况。Waffle House还有专门的“跳伞队”，可以迅速开设Waffle House。Waffle House Index是前FEMA局长Craig Fugate的主意，他意识到可以根据Waffle House的开放情况来评估灾害的严重程度。如果飓风过后Waffle House不接电话，那就意味着社区有麻烦了，FEMA应该首先去那里。Waffle House的移动指挥中心被称为EM50，这体现了他们对灾难应对的重视。
