KP and Josh spin up the time machine in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
They warm up with peak-snooze nostalgia—freshly washed sheets, cracked windows, and the childhood art of “pretend you’re asleep so you get carried in”—then glide into Drowsy History to unravel the mystery of the Roanoke (Lost) Colony. From 1585–1590 timelines and Algonquin encounters to the ominous tree carving “CROATOAN”, Dare Stones skepticism, choppy-seas delays, and why no single survivor’s account ever surfaced, it’s a cozy, curious wander through one of America’s favorite historical question marks.

Jacquis and Sophia build a comfort-TV Snooze Pack in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
A whisper-soft open (perfect temp, perfectly quiet) sparks big questions: does a tree make a sound if no one hears it, and would teleportation rebuild you as… not you? Then they switch to pure coziness with a “Snooze Pack” draft of six comfort shows. Sophia locks in Grey’s Anatomy, Insecure (Team Lawrence discourse!), and Gilmore Girls; Jacquis counters with Martin, General Hospital, and all-time cartoons (Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, early SpongeBob). Along the way: why comedies need a season to find their groove, how soaps become lifelong companions, and why rewatching favorites soothes an anxious mind.

Jacquis and Matt time-travel the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
Dark-at-5 debates turn into a cozy crusade against daylight saving time (pets and kids do not “gain” an hour), then the Pop Culture Time Machine fires up: Jacquis relives the electric 1998 MLB home-run chase—Chicago in full fever, Sammy’s 20-dinger June, McGwire hitting 70, why the “steroids era” made baseball must-see—while Matt tells the legendary tale of a would-be Premier League striker who talked his way onto the pitch for one surreal cameo. They wrap by admitting the only records they’re breaking tonight are in Dreamland.

Jacquis and Sophia dim the lights in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
An ode to the Irish exit (bed by 11:30, no goodbyes) turns into a sleepy-time summit with comedian Gianmarco Soresi—insomnia, night terrors, doom-scrolling, and the mysterious power that knocks you out at Broadway prices. They trade survival tactics (espresso IVs for Act I, alarm-clock etiquette for couples, neighbor diplomacy letters) before a cozy round of “Would You Rather”: beach nap vs. igloo snooze, and bedroom fireplace vs. clawfoot tub at the foot of the bed. Gianmarco closes with a plug for his hour Thief of Joy (free on YouTube) and his podcast The Downside.

KP and Sophia go full thrift-core in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
A cozy catch-up turns retail feral: KP braves a 25-minute thrift trek for $5 padded folding chairs and begins manifesting a ceramic pour-over, while Sophia’s life is forever changed by perfect sweat shorts. They crown ugly-cute loungewear king (Terry cloth romper supremacy), then play a spicy Would You Rather—spoilers vs. never finishing books (team spoilers) and Bake Off with no skills vs. Drag Race without drag (gentle judges > brutal runway). Cue a TV detour: converting KP’s anti-spoiler mom, Yellowjackets patience, Law & Order comfort, the glorious chaos of 9-1-1 (bee tornado episode!), and a Bake Off/Hell’s Kitchen culture whiplash—technical challenges, birthday caterpillars, and Gordon Ramsay’s “idiot sandwich” era vs. sweet MasterChef Junior dad-mode. They close on talent-show lore—Benson Boone’s “top-24 then dip” and why Susan Boyle was always just a normal person with a great voice.

KP and Sophia crack open the “Nightly Book Club” in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly, serving a cozy, chaotic mix of library love, literary hot takes, and late-night recs that’ll wreck your TBR in the best way.
Fresh off a big move, KP’s exploring her local branches like a social butterfly with a library card—crashing creative writing circles, photo meetups, and an unexpected kids’ chess class—while Sophia makes the case that libraries are the ultimate urban hangouts (free events, free tools, and yes, public sewing machines!). From there, it’s a caffeinated, candlelit chat that jumps between dystopia, memoir, and myth. Sophia evangelizes I Who Have Never Known Men and the haunting internet spirals it triggered, while KP defends Frankenstein’s eternal relevance and admits her new obsession with nonfiction. The duo swap favorite authors (Octavia Butler, Ursula K. Le Guin, Emily Henry), roast the “too many POVs” problem, and debate when a Greek myth retelling becomes just… fanfic with laurels. Equal parts syllabus and sleepover, it’s a love letter to reading, rewriting, and the library card that still does the most.

Kristen and Jacquis snuggle into the Pillow Fort on The Nightly for a full-on holiday immersion — part cozy confessional, part cinematic celebration, part heartfelt pep talk for anyone who’s ever felt lonely during the holidays. From childhood schemes to peek at presents to grown-up rituals of kindness and connection, they unwrap what Christmas really means: warmth, humor, and small sparks of magic that don’t require perfection.
Kristen embraces her self-proclaimed “Christmas mania” with 100 days of holiday films, Brooklyn tree-naming traditions, and the legendary “Box of Crap™” exchange with her sister. Jacquis brings the laughs and the grounding—remembering white artificial trees, Home Alone 2 supremacy, and the joy of giving back. Together, they swap stories, sing praises to The Muppet Christmas Carol, and remind listeners that the holidays are better when you let them be human, messy, and kind.

Kristen & Matt get cozy-season core on The Nightly — slacks, spas, and spooky décor included.
A full fall sampler: Kristen crowns Matt the king of comfy as he discovers the magic of “slacks” (smart joggers in disguise), while she leans into soft living with art days at The Frick, seven Broadway tears during Maybe Happy Ending, and a bird-watching walk for balance. The pair trade spa stories—from Kristen’s hidden neighborhood oasis (hot tub, sauna, steam, cold plunge) to Matt’s homegrown whiskey-barrel plunge that’s now… a planter. Karaoke night segues into a dream sequence: Liam Gallagher guiding Kristen through a cave obstacle course, ending in hugs and selfies.
Then it’s cozy-culture critique and Halloween mania: Matt’s seven-show weekend, PSL ambivalence (“love fall, hate being marketed into it”), and the UK’s commitment to Halloween maximalism—LED ghosts, toppled gravestones, and cats with destructive tendencies. Pumpkins are planned, but not too early—nobody wants a repeat of last year’s pre-Halloween collapse.

KP and Matt hoist the colors in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly
From mead-soaked jousts at Medieval Times (where the Yellow Knight wins hearts but not battles) to cannon-blasting pirate dinner theater, KP and Matt embark on a high-seas history hang that drifts delightfully into Drowsy History. They retell the Battle of Trafalgar with just the right mix of real tactics and bedtime goofiness—Nelson’s perpendicular “break the line” gambit, HMS Victory’s glory, the hazards of shiny medals, and that fabled brandy-barrel ride home.

Josh and Jacquis light up the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
Spooky-season energy meets cozy pop-culture nostalgia as the duo swap childhood Halloween stories (Waldo, Ghostbuster, Gerald from Hey Arnold!), celebrate peak Nickelodeon (Legends of the Hidden Temple, GUTS, Mark Summers, Michael O’Malley—and even a Weird Al cameo), and debate the etiquette of adult trick-or-treating. From Burbank’s cinematic yard displays to award-season predictions, they keep the conversation rolling: Sinners and One Battle at a Time emerge as likely Oscar heavyweights, with talk of IMAX spectacle, 70mm craftsmanship, and scene-stealing turns from Michael B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Sean Penn. The night winds down on the “great once-onlys” list—films too powerful to revisit but impossible to forget.

Matt and Sophia fluff up the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
Sweater-weather vibes lead to big-life tinkering: Sophia’s seven-hour declutter sparks a woodworking itch (stool-building classes and bowl-turning dreams), while Matt wrestles a stubborn thermostat and admits he’s a “try + instructions” handyman. The two drift through moving-season fantasies—Zillow vs. Zoopla, flats vs. apartments, the pain of bedframes, and why a pre-winter purge beats spring cleaning. Finally, Sophia unpacks the internet’s latest redemption-arc gamble: Ned Fulmer’s Rock Bottom return, opening with a raw, therapy-style talk with his estranged wife—and what to make of a comeback that starts at confession.

Kristen and Sophia cozy up inside the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
Fall has officially entered the chat—and we’re playing Snooze or Choose with the season’s biggest culture + style trends. From gorpcore (yes, the techy-hiker pants with a thousand zip pockets), to the eternal pumpkin spice debate, to friendship bracelets (Swiftie beads vs. camp-style woven classics), this episode is peak cozy, low-stakes fun with a side of practical style talk.

Jacquis and Matt stoke the fireplace vibes in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
Fresh off travels (Edinburgh Fringe, Barcelona, Portugal’s Lagos beaches), the duo opens the mailbag for cozy, practical advice: haunted houses (maze vs. “real” haunt, how to keep your cool), supportive listening when your partner’s passion isn’t yours (collectibles, anyone?), and the truth about beauty sleep (sleep = good; moisturize = better; looking refreshed = best).

Matt and KP clink pints and cozy up in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
Welcome to the pub corner: rooftop birthdays, proper pub grub, and a castle-courtyard comedy gig that turns into full-on ghost chat—gray ladies, gravelly carriage sounds, secret rooms with bones (!). Then it’s a detour through local papers, a “Strange Houses” mystery, and Exeter’s most eyebrow-raising listing: a clothes-free river cruise with trivia and a midnight dance floor. Sleepy laughs, spooky vibes, and very British silliness.

Sophia and Kristen scroll and swoon in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
From 1960s Corvette-curfew lore to a cozy “Scroll For You,” the duo dives into ultramarathons (300-mile races, trail naps, hallucinations), toupees/hair systems (at-home installs, glue, confidence boosts), and a Jonas Brothers nostalgia lap—Camp Rock memories, live pipes, and a loving style audit (looser fits, fewer leather caps, embrace the curls).

Josh and KP time-travel through pop culture in the Pillow Fort on The Nightly.
From “Etsy witches” and full-moon burn lists to astrology as mind-expanding (not mind-shrinking), the duo fires up the Pop Culture Time Machine: Josh revisits D’Angelo’s surprise drop of Black Messiah (12/15/2014) and the joy of event albums, while KP rewinds to Survivor: Pearl Islands and Johnny Fairplay’s infamous “dead grandma” play—how it reshaped reality-TV strategy and why Jeff Probst still isn’t a fan. Cozy chatter, spicy ethics, great tunes, and a dash of nostalgia.
