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.

On this episode, Mark and Miles sit down with Porche La Fiesta — the self-proclaimed “Groupie Whisperer,” memoirist, and founder of an entirely unaccredited series of workshops for aspiring rock ’n’ roll companions.

Porche shares stories from decades on the road, the unwritten etiquette of backstage culture, and why biscuits and gravy can make or break a tour. Expect questionable advice, unbelievable anecdotes, and wisdom delivered with a can of hairspray in hand.

Porche has spent decades backstage with some of music's biggest names, and she's here to answer the questions nobody else was brave enough to ask:

Is being a professional groupie a W-2 or 1099 situation?

Which artist had the best snacks?Is there a correct way to stand in a tour bus bathroom?

Can Porche read minds... or at least guess how you're cooking your eggs?Which hip-hop star had the smallest feet?

We also dive into her bestselling memoir Big Hair, Bigger Stories, discuss backstage etiquette, fog machine incidents, rapper arguments, exotic pets, and a workshop tour that may or may not change your life.

🚨BONUS CONTENT ALERT 🚨

After our Cryptids episode, we still had questions. Important questions.

Like:

• When was the last Bigfoot sighting?

• Does Bigfoot wear clothes?

• And how much can we realistically trust Alexa with cryptid research?

In this special bonus episode of Pull My Leg, we go deeper into the world of Bigfoot, folklore, and extremely questionable evidence.

We also crack open the Pull My Leg voicemail box and hear from callers around the world, including:

- A lonely caller trying to befriend Bigfoot

- Someone convinced Sasquatch is trading household items for peanut butter

- And at least one caller that may or may not be Chewbacca

Along the way, we discuss:Bigfoot behavior, Sasquatch fashion choices, Cryptid snack preferences, AI-generated answers about mythical creatures…and the proper etiquette for interacting with woodland legends.

If you enjoyed our Cryptids episode, this is the strange little follow-up your life was missing.

People say there’s no such thing as Bigfoot.

But just because you’ve never seen something… doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

I’ve never seen the Taj Mahal. I’ve never seen Tom Hanks. And yet, people insist they both exist.

This week on Pull My Leg, we dive deep into the world of cryptids, folklore, and mythical creatures from around the globe: Bigfoot, Yeti, Mothman, Loch Ness Monster and somehow John Lithgow becomes part of the investigation.

We explore:

• Whether Bigfoot is uniquely American

• Bigfoot-like creatures found around the world

• What cryptids supposedly eat

• Why humans continue telling these stories

• And whether Bigfoot could survive Hollywood fame

PLUS…

For the first time ever…

we interview Bigfoot himself.

That’s right. The actual Bigfoot joins Pull My Leg for an exclusive interview, where absolutely nothing is off limits.

If you’ve ever stared into the woods and thought “something’s out there”. - this episode is for you.

You ever stand in your kitchen at the perfect time of day…

The sunlight hits just right…

And suddenly you see it…

Thousands of tiny particles floating in the air.

Dust. Hair. Debris.

And then someone sneezes and it somehow gets worse.

This week on Pull My Leg, we ask a simple question: What if dust isn’t just dust?

We’re joined by Dr. Leonard “Lenny” Crumb, a leading expert in particulate entomology, who claims your home isn’t just messy—it’s a timeline of your life.

According to Dr. Crumb:* Dust forms in emotional and chronological layers* Your couch may contain its own ecosystem* And most homes eventually reach “critical dust mass”

We cover it all:- What dust actually is (and how much of it is you)- Whether your home is quietly building something- The dangers of “letting dust settle”- And what might be hiding in places you don’t look

If you’ve ever looked at a sunbeam and thought “that can’t be good”… this episode is for you.

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.
