Dan & Manny are releasing a lost Nostalgia Test News from Sept. 2024. This was an audible so it’s more chaotic than usual, and then Billy joins them to put 55 classic toys to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“ I recently was, had a chance to play with a hacky sack and I was like, fuck that.” -Manny Coelho

With the Yankees Dodgers playoff game in the background, Dan & Manny discuss the bombardment of potential sequels like Beetlejuice, Constantine, and Goonies. Manny reflects on playing catch for the first time in ages, they try to figure out surprising developments like an Oregon Trail movie and a streaming service from Chick-fil-A. Billy joins in later while Dan & Manny dive into a list of 90s nostalgic toys, evaluating their significance and impact. This is one of many lost episodes waiting to be released. If this one does well, we’ll release more lost eps!
