The Nightly

Jacquis Neal and Josh Gondelman build the ultimate slumber party guest list: 2025 Movie Edition with Sam Sanders.

What You'll Hear:

Sleep Hygiene, But Make It Heroic: Sam shares the bedtime rituals that work for him — eye masks, ice-cold rooms, and no phones allowed — while the trio imagines themselves as a public service sleep superhero squad.

The Guest List Game: In honor of awards season, everyone drafts two recent movie characters to invite to their dreamy hang. Expect chaotic vampires, jazz club scatting, bone temple dancing, and at least one extremely resourceful island survivor.

Comedy Chops: From SZA’s stoner-with-a-heart-of-gold to Pamela Anderson’s joke-machine performance, they celebrate the movies that brought big laughs and debate what truly makes someone elite slumber party material.

KP Parker and Matt Bragg welcome actor Luke Millington-Drake for a delightfully unhinged pub chat on rage bait, Olympic drama, and the correct way to eat pizza (according to Luke).

Word of the Year: Oxford crowned “rage bait,” and the group dives into what it actually means — from questionable hotel coffee hacks to divisive pizza eating methods.

Crotch-gate at the Winter Olympics: A scandal involving ski suits, aerodynamics, and a “sail-like feature” has everyone asking how far is too far in pursuit of gold.

Cats, Costumes, and Claudia Winkleman: From figure skating fashion to The Traitors, human names for pets, and why Tiffany is secretly medieval, this chat zigzags in the best possible way.

Jacquis Neal and Sophia Wilson Pelton invite Enneagram expert Abbey Howe into the pillow fort to decode personality types and bedtime habits.

What You'll Hear:

Nine Types, One You: Abbey breaks down the Enneagram’s nine personality types—from the ambitious Striver to the loyal, anxiety-prone Loyalist—and explains why this system focuses on your core motivations, not just your behavior.

Three Meets Six: After taking the quiz, Jacquis and Sophia compare notes on being equal parts achiever and overthinker. Abbey walks them through core fears, desires, and the surprisingly tender “soul message” each type needs to hear.

Sleep, According to Your Type: Junk journaling for busy brains. Cozy fantasy novels for anxious minds. Abbey shares gentle, type-specific ways to unplug, unwind, and maybe even treat rest like an accomplishment.

Josh Gondelman and Matt Bragg revisit the "anti-grombolio" controversy from a previous episode and open up the listener mailbag.

The Word Heard Round The Nightly: After comedian Jo Firestone introduced the possibly-made-up term “anti-grombolio” on a recent episode, listeners wrote in with their reviews.

Micro Grombolio, 1 Star: A dramatic restaurant review sent in by a listener raises big questions about greetings, appetizers, and what qualifies as “small food.”

So… What Do You Actually Do?: Inspired by a sweet note from Listener Gigi, Josh and Matt share more about their lives outside Hatch: stand-up tours, TV writing rooms, arena shows, and YouTube specials included.

Bucket List Items: Josh and Matt each share a top-tier dream, from visiting all seven continents to scuba diving through shipwrecks and headlining a massive arena.

Josh Gondelman and KP Parker attempt to solve some very real winter inconveniences before bed.

Hack Me If You Can: Puffers, scarves, hats, gloves — and one very small stool. They workshop purse hooks, suction cups, and the sacred “coat chair” as they search for a dignified place to stash winter layers.

Too Loud, Too Dark: A loving plea for brighter bars, supportive seating, and an end to the reign of the backless stool. Comfort is not too much to ask.

Hard Water, Soft Hair: KP’s shower has turned on her. There's blasting pressure, mineral overload, and mysteriously flattened waves. Enter: Brita experiments, steam tactics, and one surprisingly practical faucet hack.
