  • Fast Food in America
    2026/05/04

    Fast food in America is a $300 billion industry—and every day, we all make the same choice: cook or drive-thru.

    This week on Pull My Leg, we’re diving into fast food and asking the real questions:

    • Why does “no onions” always mean extra onions?

    • Why are entire meals just different shades of brown?

    • And is Grimace somehow behind everything?

    We break down:

    * Our go-to orders and forgotten chains

    * Totally real stats

    * The psychology of the drive-thru

    * Why the bag check never works

    * And whether the ice cream machine is ever actually working

    Plus, we introduce some little known fast food spots like No Forkin’ Way.

    If you’ve ever panic-ordered at a drive-thru, this episode is for you.

    ABOUT THE SHOW:Pull My Leg is a comedy podcast where everything is made up on the spot—but the audience is always in on the joke.

  • The hidden meaning of dreams (from a neuropsychologist)
    2026/04/20

    We’ve all had dreams…


    But are they trying to tell us something or are they just nonsense?


    This week on Pull My Leg, Miles and Mark sit down with Dr. Phillip Cincinnati. Dr. Cincinnati is a leading expert in recreational neuropsychology (and proud holder of a “Dream License” issued by the state of New Jersey) to uncover the hidden meaning of dreams.


    According to Dr. Cincinnati, 87% of dreams are “emotional leftovers,” while the remaining 13% are your brain “freestyling.” Which raises the question: should we be taking any of this seriously?


    We cover it all:

    * Do dreams actually have meaning?

    * If two people have the same dream, who is to blame?

    * Is déjà vu just a dream trying to reload?

    * If you dream about work, should you be paid overtime?

    * If you fall asleep on a plane and dream you’re flying, are you flying twice?


    Plus, we hear from totally real callers with totally real dream questions, including:

    * Recurring anxiety dreams

    * Showing up completely unprepared (and somehow naked?)

    * Fighting someone with arms made of cooked spaghetti


    Whether your dreams are meaningful or just your brain doing improv, we’re here to figure it out. Watch now and decide for yourself.

  • Board Games in America
    2026/04/06

    What if board game weren’t actually games?

    Welcome back to Pull My Leg — the podcast where we investigate the questions nobody asked yet somehow make them worse.

    This week, we’re diving into the world of board games — those wholesome little boxes that showed up at family gatherings, long car rides, and nights where someone inevitably flipped the table and stormed off.

    But what if they weren’t created for fun?

    What if they were designed to shape how we think?

    Think about it:

    • Monopoly teaches us that the rich get richer while everyone else slowly goes bankrupt

    • Candy Land trains kids to follow instructions without asking questions

    • Risk prepares you for global domination or at least surviving Thanksgiving dinner

    Coincidence? Or were board games the earliest tools of psychological conditioning?

    In this episode, we break down the hidden agendas behind the games we grew up with, explore completely made-up conspiracy theories, and ask the question no one was brave enough to ask:

    Who really created these games and why?

    Because somewhere out there…there’s a person who invented Chutes and Ladders…and they’ve been quietly manipulating our emotions for over a century.

    Let’s roll the dice and learn more.
