Description

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.



What you’ll hear

  • Cozy vs. clock: early sunsets, DST gripes, and why 4:15 p.m. darkness feels criminal
  • Summer ’98, turn it up: Sosa’s June explosion, McGwire’s 70, baseball reborn
  • Rivals & revival: Cubs–Cards drama, Bulls dynasty hangover, a city switching sports
  • Football folk tale: the chancer who blagged a top-flight debut (and got subbed off)
  • Bedtime button: if we can’t fix the clocks, we can at least dream big
