It's time for our mid-season performance review and HR has concerns.

After twelve episodes of interviewing experts who probably shouldn't have been experts, we're sitting down for our official Mid-Year Review.

Just like every real performance evaluation, we're discussing:

• Personal growth plans

• Key Performance Indicators (that nobody understands)

• Employee recognition

• Anonymous HR complaints

• Fake company metrics

• The episodes we actually remember

• The ones we completely made up

We'll hand out awards, revisit our favorite guests, confess our biggest regrets, and decide whether Pull My Leg Industries is on track for another successful quarter of questionable decision-making.

Will either of us still have a job by the end of the meeting?

Grab your self-evaluation, silence your Teams notifications, and join us for the most unnecessary performance review in podcast history.

Have you ever wondered what your dog is really thinking?

According to today's guest... probably more than you.

This week on Pull My Leg, we welcome Rick Stargate, self-appointed Inter-Species Behavioral Motivator and one of the world's leading experts in animal psychology...according to Rick.

Together we answer life's biggest questions:

🐟 Are goldfish actually misunderstood geniuses?

🐬 Are dolphins secretly monitoring humanity?

🪿 Are geese just brutally honest?

🐿️ Are squirrels preparing for an economic collapse?

🐶 And is your dog really your best friend... or just your home's middle manager?

Rick also explains why animals don't need therapy, why humans constantly project emotions onto wildlife, and why the scientific community hasn't embraced his research.

If you've ever looked at your pet and wondered what was going through its mind, this episode probably won't answer that question—but it will make you laugh.

Every year, on the exact day you survived being born, people gather around you, sing a song at slightly different speeds, and set your dessert on fire.

And somehow we've all agreed this is normal.

This week on Pull My Leg, Miles and Mark dive into the strange world of birthdays in America.

* When do birthday parties stop being fun and start feeling like obligations?* At what age do balloons become suspicious?

* Why are dogs getting birthday cakes, professional photo shoots, and themed parties?

* And if we're celebrating our pets, what about the birds living in our gutters? Do they deserve gifts too?

We also explore birthday traditions from around the world, anniversary celebrations, and whether society has overlooked some truly important birthdays... like the inventor of toothpaste.

If you've ever blown out candles, worn a paper hat, or pretended to love a gift you didn't understand, this episode is for you.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
