Get ready to take a deep-dive down the nostalgia wormhole with Dan, Billy, & Manny as they put nostalgic jingles and commercials to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!
“Before the barbecue sauce [goes on the McRib] it looks like corpse flesh. Like I worked at McDonald's, and it's like the color of like corpse flesh.” -Billy D’Elia
The guys put the commercial & jingles from their childhood to the test like 'Zestfully Clean', 'Big Red', 'Pizza Bagel Bites', and the infamous 'Chili's Baby Back Ribs'. They also try to figure out what was so fancy about Mount Airy Lodge, how did anyone survive Action Park, the infamous ‘Crocodile Mile,’ and let’s not forget the most Long Island commercial of all time for the 'Commack Motor Inn'. This classic Nostalgia Test, so come hangout, chop it up, and drop your favorite commercial in the comments!
