“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. This is one of those weirdo episodes you’ll want to watch so you can see all the commercials they’re talking about. So, grab your Super Soakers, polish those Nerf Vortexes, grab your favorite Kid Cuisine and get ready for a Nostalgia Test like you’ve never seen and heard before.
