  • Technology in America
    Mar 2 2026

    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.

  • Small Town Vibes
    Feb 16 2026

    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.

    Jan 19 2026

    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.

  • Horns, Strings & Musical Things
    Jan 5 2026

    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.

  • Mid-Season Check-in
    Nov 10 2025

    How many podcasts take the time to reflect honestly on their own season? Not many. But we do — partly because we care, and partly because our guest accidentally fell into a well and couldn’t make the Zoom call.

    This week, Mark and Miles look back on the first half of the season, share what’s coming next, and reveal what life is like when the microphones are off (spoiler: quieter, but not by much).

    🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
