The Zipper, Road Rash, and a Poodle in the Microwave.
In this inaugural catastrophe of Nice Pull!, Jeff and Chris drag you kicking and screaming into the unsupervised, borderline criminal childhoods of Gen X—where safety was a myth, nutrition was a joke, and parenting mostly consisted of hoping you came home before dark (or at least before the cops showed up). They break down the science of why every school had at least five kids in casts at all times, how roadside carnivals were basically mobile death traps operated by ex-cons, and why ‘urgent care’ was just your dad telling you to “walk it off.” If you ever ate a lunch that was 80% sugar and 20% broken glass from your own thermos, played with actual explosives before hitting puberty, or got flung around the back of a pickup truck at freeway speeds like a human pinball, this episode is your church. Strap in—wait, no. There were no seatbelts. Just hold on and pray.
