This week, Dan & Manny go back to 1995 with their friend and first guest Jess Stanisic to put that year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) Best R&B Video category to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST! This Nostalgia Test trio gets all 1995 when it comes to talking about:

TLC – "Waterfalls"
Boyz II Men – "Water Runs Dry"
Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson – "Scream"
Jade – "5-4-3-2 (Yo! Time Is Up)"
Montell Jordan – "This Is How We Do It"

They talk about bringing back Jnco jeans, those amazing papayas in the "This Is How We Do It" video, and the Helicopter budget in the "Water Runs Dry" video. Plus, why hire the same guy who directed a Pantera video to direct the Boyz II Men video? 

They also get into:

• Parties at Jess's house.
• Dan's sister, Jo, schools him on Jade & Sistas With Voices (SWV).
• Loving that 90's fashion.
• Why doesn't Manny like baggy jeans?
• Was TLC glued to the ground?
• Is that Tyra Banks?

And much much more!

We recorded this on September 14th, 2020 on Zoom so there are some small sound discrepancies, but don't worry, the content still rocks!

The intro and outro music ('Neon Attack 80s') is by Emanmusic.
