from Pull My Leg · host Mark Manning and Miles Harrison

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.#PullMyLegPodcast #Birthdays #ComedyPodcast #FunnyPodcast #ImprovComedy #PodcastLife #Humor
