Summary

Roses are red, violets are blue, the magic school bus is yellow, and thanks to science, now we know why your piss is too. What's in a generation? Turns out, it's not as clear-cut as you might think! This Feel Good Friday, the boys dive headfirst into the chaotic, fascinating world of generational names. There's no secret council deciding who gets to be a Millennial or who falls into Gen Z; it's a wild mix of media, public opinion, and the impact of global events. The fellas unpack each generation's moniker, revealing surprising origins and the "squishy" spans that separate Boomers from Zoomers. But it's not just about labels. They explore how the era you're born in shapes everything from beliefs to how you spend your downtime. In classic Sickboy fashion, the conversation takes a very drastic turn as the boys shift into the world of science with a revelation about why our pee is yellow. No, it's not from Mrs. Frizzle's magic school bus paint melting in the depths of your bladder, but rather a discovery about the enzyme urobilin. To cap it all off, Jer drops some historical knowledge about antimony pills. These 19th-century "everlasting pills" weren't just a bellyache – they were the real deal in regurgitation, rejuvenation and a disgustingly questionable form of recycling. So, if you thought your generation had quirks, wait until you hear about the puke-and-rally routine of our ancestors. Join the post-episode conversation over on Discord! https://discord.gg/expeUDN
