  • Dust is More Than You Think
    May 18 2026

    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
    May 4 2026

    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)
    Apr 20 2026

    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.
