On today’s special Nostalgia Mini episode, Manny shares a harrowing air travel story and puts Delta Airlines to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“In my head, I survived the crash, and all I needed to do is figure out how to keep Marty out of the water and get my wife onto the floating device.” -Manny

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and gratitude, Manny recounts flying home from Dublin when suddenly there’s catastrophic engine failure. That’s right! He goes over how the flashing of his life was kind of disappointing, the strict laws about dogs in Iceland, his plane for surviving the freezing ocean, and the almost insane amount of professionalism and calm of the in-flight crew. Dan has a little fun with on this episode by adding a nostalgic soundtrack to his story around the minute 10. Make sure your tray tables are in the upright and locked position, your seatbelts are securely fastened, and all devices are on airplane mode because this is a good one!
