Cryptids in America

Cryptids in America

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.

Dust is More Than You Think

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

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.

The hidden meaning of dreams (from a neuropsychologist)

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.

Board Games in America

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.
