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.

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.

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.

Today on Pull My Leg, we sit down with Harry Woller — self-described buffet historian, wannabe competitive eater, and lifelong student of abundance.

By day, Harry is a Logistics Operations Analyst optimizing large-scale systems. By night (and weekends and holidays), he optimizes shrimp placement, carving station flow, and soft-serve structural integrity at buffets across America.

With an estimated 400–600 all-you-can-eat establishments under his belt (and waistband), Harry argues that buffets aren’t just restaurants — they’re social experiments. They test patience. Hygiene. Strategy. Elastic.

We talk about:

• The psychology of the buffet line

• Why crispy General Tso’s chicken is non-negotiable

• The engineering marvel of the carving station

• Whether buffet dining is about hunger or victory

Is a buffet chaos? Or is it freedom? Is it indulgence? Or logistics?

Grab a plate. Pace yourself. And remember — abundance is a mindset.

Technology in America was supposed to make life easier. Buttons instead of levers. Convenience instead of effort. A future where everything just works.

And yet… here we are.Grown adults yelling at remotes. Restarting routers. Asking Alexa one question and getting three unrelated opinions.

On today’s episode of Pull My Leg, there’s no guest—just Mark and Miles, sitting down to have a calm, intelligent, deeply reasonable conversation about one of the biggest issues dominating our news cycle: Technology.

We look at real research about productivity, burnout, and attention…Then we examine research that absolutely exists about WiFi acting out of spite and Alexa listening more closely when couples whisper.

We’re not experts. We’re victims.

Topics include:

• Password fatigue and wizard-level requirements

• Printers, ink prices, and spiritual warfare

• Smart devices that aren’t that smart

• Phones, autocorrect betrayals, and other stuff

Pull My Leg.

Technology in America.

Nothing is taken seriously.

Everything feels personal.

What if small towns didn’t need mayors… they needed vibes?

In this episode of Pull My Leg, Mark and Miles welcome Diedre O’Neil, a Municipal Vibe Consultant who travels across North America answering one critical question: Does this town feel right… or deeply off?

From her early days as the internet-famous “Bozo Baby” to scraping bubble gum into sailor sculptures, Diedre’s path to vibe mastery was anything but traditional. After advising dorm rooms on furniture placement, color schemes, and smell management, she dropped out of college to bring her talents to struggling towns everywhere.

Together, we explore:

• What makes a town’s energy “on” or “aggressively wrong”

• Why sign colors matter more than tax policy

• How a single bench can ruin an entire downtown

• And whether vibes can truly be fixed… or only gently judged

It’s civic planning. It’s emotional architecture. It’s completely unnecessary.

Season 1… what a ride.

Joy. Wonder. Confusion. A little terror. On this final episode of Pull My Leg, let’s relive the Season 1 moments that made us laugh, scratch our heads, and say wait… what just happened?

No guests. Just memories.

This week on Pull My Leg, Mark and Miles welcome Benjamin' Mahholife, founder of Horns, Strings & Musical Things — a retirement home for overworked, out-of-tune, and emotionally exhausted musical instruments.

Despite having absolutely no musical talent, Benjamin' has dedicated years of life to giving trumpets, violins, and cymbals the dignity they never knew they needed. In this episode, we explore the origins of the instrument retreat, meet some of its most dramatic residents, and learn why music education trauma affects instruments just as much as humans.

It’s heartfelt. It’s ridiculous. It’s Pull My Leg.
