Episode Details

This week on Pull My Leg, we're tackling one of America's most important cultural institutions: Mascots.

From sports teams and schools to restaurants and insurance companies, mascots are everywhere. But what actually qualifies something as a mascot? Where do mascots live when they're off the clock? Can two mascots date? And if they have a baby... who owns it? Those were among the highly necessary questions we explored.

We also play Real Mascot or Completely Made Up, hear from the Pull My Leg fan voicemail, consult Alexa, and meet Betty the Blobfish, Gary the Possum and Wendell the Peacock—three candidates competing to become our official unofficial mascot.

Plus, for just a moment, we actually tell the truth about the strange and surprisingly serious world of professional mascots.

Watch, listen, subscribe—and tell us which mascot should represent Pull My Leg!
