On today’s special Nostalgia Mini episode, Dan, Manny, & Billy spin The Nostalgia Test Wheel to see what classic Christmas movie they’ll put to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“Welcome to Jurassic Park. Um, I mean, Merry Christmas.”
-Billy

The guys introduce the Nostalgia Test Wheel to the pod to pick which movie they’ll watch for the annual Christmas episode. They year’s movie will be either Charlie Brown’s Christmas, A Muppet’s Family Christmas (TV Special), March of the Wooden Soldiers, Scrooge (1951), Miracle on 34th Street, or It’s a Wonderful Life. The boys also can’t stop themselves from other tangents like the announcement of a sequel to Heat with Leonardo DiCaprio, taxes, Gen X’s obsession with everyone being able to do math on the spot, and so much more.

So grab a strong hot toddy, throw on the yule log, and get cozy with The Nostalgia Test Wheel, because it’s going to make a lot more appearances in 2026 (we’re available for parties people!)
