Pull My Leg

What happens when a motivational speaker refuses to let being blind stand between him and absolutely terrible career choices?Meet Trent Walker.Trent is blind in real life—and completely in on the joke—as he joins Pull My Leg to portray a motivational speaker whose résumé includes driver's ed instructor, fighter pilot, scuba guide, archery coach, wildlife photographer, professional referee... and knife juggler.We talk about his inspirational philosophy, his bestselling memoir Eyes on the Prize, why nobody will challenge him to a game of darts, and what happens when you ask Trent for a few simple words of encouragement.Plus, technical difficulties, viewer mail, an intern crawling across the studio floor, and considerably less professionalism than we had planned.Trent was an absolute blast—and reminded us that sometimes the best comedy comes from being willing to laugh at yourself.Watch here or listen to Pull My Leg wherever you get your podcasts.#ComedyPodcast #BlindHumor #MotivationalSpeaker #ImprovComedy #FunnyPodcast #Blindness #PodcastComedy
