The name is derived from the song "Proud of Your Boy" originally
created for Disney's 1992 film Aladdin but left out following story
changes in production, and later featured in the 2011 musical
adaptation. In the song, the character Aladdin apologizes to his
mother for being a bad son and promises to make her proud. McInnes
interprets it as Aladdin apologizing for being a boy. He first heard
it while attending his daughter's school music recital. The song's
"fake, humble, and self-serving" lyrics became a running theme on his
podcast. McInnes said it was the most annoying song in the world but
that he could not get enough of it.
