  1. Episode #051 | "We're Still Not Done Talking (A Very Special Episode)"

    In March 2025, the Squad ripped both Gen Z and Alpha new assholes for their lack of common sense. In July 2025, they ripped them new assholes again for the same reason, plus more. Now, over a year later, common sense is less common, stupidity has reached an all-time high, the economy is fucked…

  2. Episode #050 | "Hi, We're the Nostalgia Pod and Welcome to Jackass!"

    In their 50th episode, Carleigh is seemingly kidnapped. But the boys decided to be loving jackasses by not helping her and instead watching Jackass, the show about a group of jackasses doing jackass shit on TV while telling others NOT to do those jackass shits, but who the hell listens to...

  3. Episode #049 | "We've Seen Stranger Things In Philly Than in Hawkins (LIVE! From The Mancave)"

    It's been 10 years since one of the greatest television shows of all time premiered in our households on Netflix, Stranger Things. When this show came out, the Squad were just kids watching kids battling supernatural forces and government mysteries, while the Squad themselves battled dumbass…

  4. Episode #048 | "GOOD: Two Music Episodes in a Row! BAD: We Expected This, 2010s Music Part II..."

    This was pretty much expected; it's the 2010s. So whatever the Squad missed in Part 1, here they are in Part 2. Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@nostalgiapodofficial⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@nostalgiasquadofficial⁠⁠ TikTok:...

  5. Episode #047 | "Our 47th President Is Controversial, So Are These Songs."

    DISCLAIMER: This episode contains disturbing mature subject matter and outdated, offensive lyrics. They do not reflect the views of the artists today or the Nostalgia Squad.

  6. Episode #046 | "The Most Gooniest Episode in Disneyland"

    Seriously, how many Disney-related episodes are they gonna do?!

  7. Episode #045 | "Thirteen Reasons....No, a Kabillion Reasons Why"

    Carleigh, like the normal, completely sane psychopath she is, somehow finds herself in "pool jail" after dropkicking a boy because he stole her chair.

  8. Episode #044 | "Finally! Another Music Episode! Shit, It's the 2010s...(Part I)"

    Last episode, it was announced that Jazz would be departing from The Nostalgia Pod. It was meant to be taken as a joke that has now aged poorly, as Jazz is unfortunately - with no joke - departing from the Squad (NOT because of the Scientology bit). This was a mutual, amicable, but unfortunate,...

  9. Episode #043 | "Teamwork Sometimes Doesn't Make the DreamWorks..."

    The squad hitched a ride on Jack Frost's cane to join the little boy on top of the DreamWorks moon and fish out some of their favorite and most nostalgic animated movies. Seriously, how did that boy manage to get up there? Follow us on Instagram:...

  10. Episode #042 | "A Long Time Ago in a Drug Den Far, Far Away"

    The wait is finally over, Carleigh returns from her getaway! And in this episode, she takes charge and takes the squad on the Millennium Falcon to a galaxy far, far away from their hellhole of Philly. Yes, Family Guy, you're not the only ones who can do a Star Wars special. Follow us on…

  12. Episode #040 | "One Fish, Two Fish, Black Fish, White Fish, Mixed Fish, Bitch Fish"

    The Squad grew some special "WhoHash" in the drug den and are somehow transported into a world far more chaotic than the streets of Philly. No, this is the wonderfully whimsical, whosical, wubbulous fucked up world of one of the greatest authors to ever wield the pencil: Dr. Seuss. And maybe when...

  13. Episode #039 | "If You Have an I in Your Name, Congratulations! You're Fucked."

    More Disney......but it's necessary considering it's the 40th anniversary of Pixar, and they're making ANOTHER F*CKING TOY STORY movie that's coming this year.

  14. Episode #038 | "Back to the '80s! Part II"

    The squad heads back to the 1980s....again. Yes, despite Doc Brown putting a restraining order on them and locking the DeLorean up in a storage unit, the squad, using their "ways", stole the DeLorean and headed back into the decade they wished they had grown up in. However, things go awry…

  15. Episode #037 | "We Got Banned From Disneyland (For Like 5 Years...)"
