Dan, Manny, & Billy invite friend & fan of the pod Meghan P. Nolan to put the 1985 action/adventure comedy The Goonies to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “I had this epiphany while I was watching it this time where I was like, ‘Holy shit! Like Goonies are just like a bunch of nerds, they're all just sitting around playing D&D, Mikey is the dungeon master, and this is their quest.” -Meghan P. Nolan Around 2 years ago, Meghan sent us a suggestion to put The Goonies to the ultimate test and because Dan is super lazy it took him this long to get her on the pod. This episode is off the rails from the start filled with classic Nostalgia Test drops and a live Zoom audience of one, (haha! it's a start) Courtney from the Fiction Fixation Podcast who added some hilarious ideas while Billy dealt with his North Carolina internet service. The gang talks about “Goonies” comes from their town name The Goon Docks, what did the parents of these kids do to get all their houses foreclosed on, why was Troy and his flunkies hanging around a wishing well, are the Fratellis really Italian, and who was resetting One Eyed Willie's booby traps in the 1600s. They also analyze all the amazing characters, unpack the stereotypes, plot holes, and put Cindy Lauper's song to a quick Nostalgia Test. Most importantly, they talk about the real heroes of this movie Rosalita and Sloth. This episode is what The Nostalgia Test is all about, laughter, hot takes, and a bunch of hypothetical scenarios for what a Goonies sequel or TV series might look like. This is a must-listen for any fan of 80s classics.

Put your Nostalgia helmet on and join Dan & Manny on a dangerous journey to put some 90s Commercials to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “I'm surprised we survived. Like, what we were putting in our bodies, what they were allowing us to play with. It's amazing that we even got this far” -Dan Before Billy joined the chaos, Dan & Manny embarked on a weird walk down memory lane with these super odd 90s commercials. They try to figure out why anyone would by their kid a doll that pees, if Nerf is just human dog toys, why were water guns to big and crazy, and how did anyone go to Action Park. Plus, Dan tells a ridiculous story about his dad, the time he went to Action Park, and Manny slowly loses his mind.

The RTD cocktail segment has experienced massive success in recent years, helped by its convenient format and the rise of the at-home cocktail occasion during the “Great Shutdown” era. But while the RTD cocktail market has seen an abundance of new entrants, as it predictably followed my CPG industry adage that “strong demand growth breeds intense commercialization activity,” there have been smarter and more effective launches as the category matures and has a clearer view of the consumer. And it appears these RTD cocktail drinkers are selecting health-conscious products with premium ingredients and flavorful options…oftentimes seeking a fun, refreshing taste of their childhood with an adult beverage spin. Moreover, A LOT of categorical success is in recreating or reimagining something where there's already consumer behavior. And that was a key motivating factor behind Adam Kost creating Dirty Shirley, a nostalgic yet boozy twist to the classic Shirley Temple beverage we've likely all enjoyed growing up. Last year, Dirty Shirley, which contains organic cherry juice, natural flavors, and super premium vodka, grew almost 1000% YoY. Yet, as you'll hear in our conversation, Dirty Shirley is only getting started by continuing to thoughtfully expand markets and creating a variety of powerful strategic retail and brand partnerships.

Let's be REEEAAALLLLYYYY honest with ourselves here…do we really need a “better for you” Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) version of every nostalgic sweet treat? I understand that many of my fellow Millennial parents want to give our kids the same joys of childhood that we had, but can we agree that some of Willy Wonka's candy ideas should be off-limits? And that's because…even if sensory experiences can be closely mimicked, what's fun about dipping a pectin-based fruit strip into freeze dried organic fruit powder! I'd hate to use this short format for deep introspection, but maybe we should be asking ourselves…why are we so obsessed with making candy “healthy” anyways (and marketing it to children)? Are we projecting our complicated (and conflicted) relationship with food on the next generation…pretending that the process of pursuing health is one of constant pleasure and abundance?

Ready to watch two passionate metalheads go down the rabbit hole of obscure bands, Metallica deep cuts, and unfiltered comedy? This episode takes you on a musical adventure you won't forget.John and Jay kick things off by discussing a potential recording opportunity for their band, weighing the merits of a surprisingly affordable studio package that includes recording, mixing, and mastering. Their excitement is tempered with the healthy skepticism of musicians who've learned that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is—but this opportunity might just be the real deal.The conversation shifts to an extensive analysis of Metallica's controversial 2003 album "St. Anger." The hosts dissect why the album was initially maligned (that infamous trash-can snare sound!) while arguing for its importance as a creative stepping stone in the band's evolution. "St. Anger crawled so Death Magnetic could run," they conclude, showcasing their ability to appreciate the nuances of a divisive release. This segment shines with genuine passion as they compare studio and live recordings, highlighting how production choices dramatically impact an album's reception.The most entertaining portion arrives when the hosts embark on a journey of musical discovery, searching YouTube for underground industrial and metal bands. Their authentic reactions to discovering gems like After Dusk, Gloomlight, and The Cold Shoulder capture the pure joy of finding new music. "It's like discovering an artifact that hasn't been found yet," they marvel, sharing their excitement with listeners who might be seeking fresh sounds beyond mainstream metal.The episode wraps with updates on personal health journeys and upcoming endeavors, including a job interview and radio appearance. Throughout it all, John and Jay maintain their signature blend of humor, insight, and unabashed enthusiasm that keeps listeners coming back for more.Whether you're a dedicated metalhead or simply enjoy authentic conversations between friends, hit subscribe and join us each week for more musical explorations, comedy, and unfiltered takes on the things we love.Send us a text message and let us know how awesome we are!

Dan, Manny, & Billy put the 1993 action/drama Free Willy to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “[They abused a whale] to make a movie about whale awareness [...] You fucking basically murdered [a whale] in the making of [Free Willy].” -Billy Okay everyone, this was a weird journey back for us because no one knew what to expect from Free Willy. We didn't remember it was two hours long. We didn't remember about Jesse's friend Perry. We sure didn't remember Mykelti Williamson being saddled with another clueless white person?

Jeans are getting baggier by the day, and a new generation of viewers is watching “Friends.” What's with all this '90s nostalgia, and will it ever end? Plus, how a tiny Arizona town with a tortured past is remaking itself as a tourist destination.

Denver-born songwriter, guitarist, singer, activist, and performer Jill Sobule, is possibly best-known because of her breakthrough hit of “I Kissed a Girl” (pre-dating Katy Perry by more a decade), and “Supermodel,” the anthem from the film Clueless. In her over seven albums, the troubadour has "mused on topics such as the death penalty, anorexia, shoplifting, reproduction, the French resistance movement, adolescence and the Christian right." She has also written music for TV and theater, been active in numerous social and political causes, and been a pioneer in the art of crowdfunding.On her 2018 album, Nostalgia Kills, released on her own Pinko Records, the songwriter/composer tackles adult topics, and looks back without sentimentality to “exorcise some junior high school demons.” The late Jill Sobule and her band joined us to perform some of these songs in-studio in 2018.

They're back! And I don't mean the Novice and Nostalgic. The YinzBoyz return on this episode of A Good Squeeze to discuss our viewing of the classic “Austin Powers in Goldmember”. From skin flakes to trivia, this conversation truly determined who among us were the truly nostalgics.

Dan, Manny, & Billy are joined by their longtime friends Jeremy & Mike to talk about a whole bunch of craziness to put to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “Hellraiser, I think is the most overrated horror franchise of all time.” -Dan Dan, Manny, & Billy pulled this Nostalgia Test News/Audience Suggestions/Friend Hangout out of left field! They're surprised by their longtime friends Jeremy (from Mrs. Doubtfire, the Metallica episodes, and the 2024 Hangout) & Mike (from the Iron Eagle episode). This dives into SNL funny or not, Reboots (again), Hockey and can Dan find a skate for a size 14 shoe, 100 men vs 1 gorilla, and insane drinking stories.

It’s a Monty type of day - and thank god, because this week we welcome the brilliant Monty Dimond into the studio. In this episode, Monty opens up about the heartbreak of losing her mum—her person, her sense of home and safety. She speaks candidly about the tunnel vision of ambition, living with imposter syndrome, and how a debilitating chronic illness left her bed-bound for 90% of last year. Hugh and Monty share an incredibly vulnerable chat about parenting neurodivergent children; sharing the intense challenges, boundless love and ways they can show compassion to themselves and others. If you're not familiar with Monty yet, she's the founder and co-host of the Show and Tell platform, which includes the newly released podcast iChronic, Monty is a pillar of Australian media (including a co-hosting a national drive show with our very own Sheltzy). Monty, we are in awe of you. To watch this full video of YouTube, follow this link: https://bit.ly/3GVUYmf

Nostalgia is one of those complicated emotions: we long to be transported to a place or moment in the past that we have loved but at the same time feel sad that it has gone forever. It is also a bit of a slippery intellectual concept: regarded as a malady when the term was first coined in the 17th century, nostalgia is now thought to be benign or even mildly therapeutic. And beyond personal recollections, business uses it to sell all manner of things and some politicians skilfully deploy it to hide their real objectives. So what actually is nostalgia?Iszi Lawrence explores the past and present of nostalgia with Dr. Agnes Arnold-Forster , author of Nostalgia: A History of a Dangerous Emotion, Prof. Krystine Batcho who devised the Nostalgia Inventory and Dr. Tobias Becker author of Yesterday, A New History of Nostalgia. We also hear WS listeners' views on nostalgia.(Photo: Vintage photographs with a dried rose. Credit: Alicia Llop/Getty Images)

HELLO FROM MIAMI!!! We actually recorded a podcast (UNRELEASED) from here right when we started dating and so we were feeling NOSTALGIC and wanted to do a little relationship Q&A.  We dive into some of YOUR questions about our relationship! From navigating parenting style differences to deciding when the right time is for another kid, we're getting personal and answering your burning questions. We kick things off with a weekly house update—spoiler alert, it involves cameras, alarms, and doorbells (read: you now need security clearances to enter our house lol). Then, we get into how we were so confident in our decision to have a kid after knowing each other for such a short time, and whether we've ever second-guessed our decision.  And of course, we touch on the big question: Are we ready for baby #2? Plus, does marriage feel more or less important now that we've got the house and baby? As always, we wrap up with some fun Things We DMed Each Other—including new parents getting reimbursed $36,000 for childcare and why we think DoorDash's “DoorDad” is a game-changer.

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Heather Neary, CEO of Taco John's, in-person at the Restaurant Leadership Conference in Phoenix. Heather took the reins at Taco John's a little over a year ago, shortly after the brand experienced the bright spotlight of the Taco Tuesday trademark battle with Taco Bell. Her strategy at the chain has been to tap into Taco John's roots as a 56-year-old Mexican QSR that has a presence in a lot of small communities across America, and to remind fans who may be nostalgic for the chain why they should fall in love with it all over again. She joined the podcast to talk about how Taco John's plans to capture the attention of young consumers in particular and why it's pursuing disciplined, responsible growth across the country. In this conversation, you'll find out why:You can go a long distance by taking little steps every dayNostalgia is a powerful marketing tool Sometimes the things you should be talking about are the most obvious In volatile, uncertain times, it's helpful to tackle things as a teamDisciplined, responsible growth is usually more productive than shiny opportunities Have feedback or ideas for Take-Away?
