Dan, Manny, & Billy put 5 classic Love Songs for Valentine’s Day to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“Yo! 2026, Nostalgia Test declares love is dead.” -Billy

Happy Valentine’s Day nerds! On this special episode of The Nostalgia Test Podcast the guys open up their nostalgic hearts to rank and put to the test Michael Bolton's “When a Man Loves a Woman,” Celine Dion's “It's All Coming Back to Me Now,” Etta James' “At Last,” Otis Redding's “These Arms of Mine,” and Savage Garden's “Truly Madly Deeply.” This episode is filled with memories, laughs, and unreal nostalgia test tangents. They talk about the emotional toll and impact these songs have on them, why they’re sick of hearing some of these hits, and do Love Songs even exist anymore? Find out how they each rank these 5 songs, what are the guys’ honorable mention songs, and around 30 minutes into the episode they lose their minds about Manny’s “winter chili.”
