  • All-you-can-eat Buffets
    Mar 16 2026

    Today on Pull My Leg, we sit down with Harry Woller — self-described buffet historian, wannabe competitive eater, and lifelong student of abundance.

    By day, Harry is a Logistics Operations Analyst optimizing large-scale systems. By night (and weekends and holidays), he optimizes shrimp placement, carving station flow, and soft-serve structural integrity at buffets across America.

    With an estimated 400–600 all-you-can-eat establishments under his belt (and waistband), Harry argues that buffets aren’t just restaurants — they’re social experiments. They test patience. Hygiene. Strategy. Elastic.

    We talk about:

    • The psychology of the buffet line

    • Why crispy General Tso’s chicken is non-negotiable

    • The engineering marvel of the carving station

    • Whether buffet dining is about hunger or victory

    Is a buffet chaos? Or is it freedom? Is it indulgence? Or logistics?

    Grab a plate. Pace yourself. And remember — abundance is a mindset.

  • 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.
