Show Notes
For over thirty-five years, a bizarre metric has allegedly predicted major military operations with startling accuracy. Dubbed the "Pentagon Pizza Index" (or PIZZINT), this theory tracks late-night food orders around the Pentagon to forecast conflict. We explore the origins of this signal, from the franchise owner who first spotted the pattern to the modern OSINT tools that monitor it in real-time. Is it a genuine intelligence asset or just a coincidence? Listen to find out why the government tries to "stealth" their dinner orders.
