Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Early Impressions of the Milan Winter Olympics

• The guests share excitement about ongoing events, spotlighting:
  • US Women’s Hockey dominance and men's tournament upsets.
  • Underdog stories like Mexico's first cross-country skier.
  • Notable upsets: "Finland beating Sweden and the Slovakians coming out and putting on a good show." (Jeremiah, 01:30)
• Men’s hockey now features NHL players, fundamentally altering the competition:

  “You got the top of the top now in the men's side.” (Joe, 02:23)
  “It definitely changes… I like both for their own reasons—having the amateur players and the pro players—but just to see kind of the top of the top…” (Jeremiah, 02:35)

2. Olympic Relationships: More Drama, Please!

• Discussion on famous pairs like ice dancers Chock & Bates—married and media-friendly—and a desire for more visible, gossipy relationship info onscreen:

  “I want on the screen country and then relationship status. Are they cousins? Are they dear friends? Are they currently separated? Are they having an affair?” (Joe, 03:30)

• Calls for a soap-opera, Real Housewives style treatment of coverage, adding layers to the athletic contest:

  “Give us the Days of our Lives version of the Olympics.” (Jeremiah, 05:20)

3. How Technology is Changing Sports Coverage

• Drones bring new, thrilling angles to events like cross-country skiing and bobsled:

  “The drones have really changed the game… you can see the drones following them down. It just gives you a whole new viewpoint…” (Jeremiah, 08:14)

• Unexpected drawback: microphone noise on drones giving a "swarm of bees" vibe (Jeremiah, 08:14-08:46).

4. Olympic Events: Surprises & Favourites

• Cross-country skiing earns major respect for sheer athleticism, made more vivid by new camera angles (Joe, 07:01).
• Meme-worthy sports:
  • Two-person luge as “a lie that someone really committed to” (Jeremiah, 09:07).
• Ongoing question: "Are they married? We need that on the chyron in the lower third.” (Josh, 09:29)

5. The Thrill (and Confusion) of Split-Second Finishes

• Amusing observations about the drama of close finishes, trusting unfamiliar announcers, and “photo finishes”:

  "A truly one second difference that you might not even notice… the announcer's just like, 'Oh, really off to a lousy start. No chance here.' ... A lot of trust is involved with the broadcasting of the Olympics." (Joe, 10:18)

• Historic tie in speed skating (both awarded gold):

  “They gave them both gold medals because of it, which is incredible.” (Jeremiah, 11:58)

6. Old-School Judging Scandals & Nationalism

• Persistent judge biases, both real and perceived, delight the hosts:

  "It is just people that have aesthetic preferences and, like, national biases. It's pretty spectacular that every four years, we get together and people from countries all over the world take out their personal grudges on one another." (Josh, 12:55)

• Comic ideas about notorious “career judges” and Olympic tribalism (13:29-14:00).

7. Game Time: Kiss, Marry, Kill (Olympic Equipment Edition, 14:40–16:17)

• Jeremiah:
  • Kiss: Skis
  • Marry: Luge sleds (“That seems fun.”)
  • Kill: Snowboards (“The only time I ever snowboarded, I broke my tailbone.”)
• Joe:
  • Kiss: Snowboard (“A good time here for a short time…”)
  • Marry: Skis (“More reliable, more established.”)
  • Kill: Luge (“That is literally death on a sled.”)

8. Olympic Events You Might (Not) Survive (16:19–19:42)

• Bobsled and skeleton might be survivable, “a lazy river kind of pacing” preferred (Joe, 17:56).
• Ski jumping is the unanimous hard no:

  "That's the one for me because… once you get to that jump… there's no way." (Josh, 18:24–18:39)

• Newly noticed dangers: Sled speeds reaching 80 mph (Jeremiah, 19:19).

[A]

Hello. You're about to drift into an episode of the Nightly a podcast designed to help you unwind and relax. For the full phone free immersive light experience, visit Hatch Co. Enjoy.

[B]

Hello and good evening. Good evening everybody. I'm Josh. Welcome to the Nightly from Hatch, a slumber party for pop culture lovers. It's just me hosting tonight, but I am joined by two returning guests tonight here in the pillow fort, the dynamic duo Joe Simons and Jeremiah Coughlin, hosts of Hatch's Sleepytime Sports. Welcome back to the Nightly Joe and Jeremiah.

[C]

Josh, so good to be here. Thank you for having us. I'm sleepy and excited.

[B]

Truly a pleasure and that is kind of the combo we try to cultivate here. So excited and so sleepy. The reverse of a caffeine pill addiction on Saved by the Bell.

[D]

I'm so scared.

[B]

So excited and so sleepy. We had you on the show not too long ago and you talked to my co host Kristen about what you're excited for when it comes to the now current Winter Olympics in Milan. And now we're really in the thick of it. How are you all feeling about it? What's your overall take on the Olympics so far?

[D]

Yeah, it's in full swing. It's been really exciting. There's been some cool stuff. I'm very kind of keyed in on the hockey right now. The US Women are crushing it, doing so well, even probably better than expected. And there's been some kind of interesting upsets in the men's hockey so far with Finland beating Sweden and the Slovakians coming out and putting on a good show. So it's, I mean, kind of everybody's very afraid of Canada, but it's been really exciting to watch. And then yeah, there's some cool stuff with like Mexico's first cross country skier getting it done and yeah, just like some, some really cool stuff going on so far. I'm staying up late. Those hockey games start at 3am Pacific Time. So. Wow, burning the midnight oil.

[C]

And you got the NHL dudes are in the hockey now and I didn't realize Jeremiah, but they hadn't been in the last few Olympics because of extenuating circumstances. So you got the top of the top now in the men's side.

[D]

Yeah, they really, they brought them back and I don't know, I mean it kind of, it definitely changes sort of the dynamic of all of it. I like both for their own reasons of having the amateur players and the pro players, but just to see kind of the top of the top really and you know, like what's at stake and what's on the line.

[A]

It's.

[D]

And it's hard to, it's like hard to handicap too because there's like just so many names, you know, it's like beyond an all star team and you know, like teams that don't necessarily have like a big presence in the NHL. Like you're still seeing, you know, guys show up and then you're like, oh, well, this guy's actually pretty good. I mean, he might not be NHL good, but he's doing, he's doing really good right now. So that's, that's also like another element of it that's pretty cool.

[C]

It's Mike Piazza on Italy's team.

[A]

Is that.

[D]

Yeah. He's playing goalie, right? Actually, yeah, it was a very natural.

[B]

You know, the catcher of the ice. Yeah, of course, that's what they call it.

[C]

I am loving the, the whole chalk and baits of it all. I can't get enough. I love the branding with those two. I love that they're a married couple. It's this great story and it got me thinking. Guys like that is a very well known pre existing relationship into the Olympics. But sometimes I'm watching like the two person bobsled or other pair skating and I just want to know how these people relate to each other outside of their event. I want on the screen country and then relationship status. Are they cousins? Are they dear friends? Are they currently separated? Are they having an affair? What. What is the situation with this pair? Because I think it provides an extra dynamic to my viewing pleasure.

[B]

Completely agreed. I think it's like when you're working. Cause I've, I've worked in close creative partnership with people and I think probably an athletic partnership, something like Ice D. There is a creative element, but it's also like, you know, when I'm working on a script with my writing partner, there's no chance that I'm gonna drop her on her head. So like there is an added element of trust there.

[C]

No question. Jeremiah and I and our creative partnership, we've never had a situation where he's dropped me on his head now for a photo shoot. He did cradle me in his arms, so that was probably the closest we got to ice dancing, I think.

[D]

Jc yeah. How could they drop me on my own head? Uh, well, and I just to like another, another layer of that too is I think there's a curling, like a mixed curling pair that just got paired together to be a curling team. And then they fell in love and they got Married, you know.

[B]

That's beautiful.

[D]

It's very sweet. We want the tea on that. Like, you know, like, give us that story. Give us a little bit of the.

[C]

Made the first move.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Give us the Days of our lives version of the Olympics. Yeah, it is.

[B]

I love those. I do think we get all those human interest stories. Right. But I do think they could be a little more gossipy. We get like, you know, this person grew up curling in the remote wilderness of Canada and their parents were curling team and taught them. But I want to see like, well, you know, they used to be part of this curling team and then they got divorced and it is a whole national scandal.

[D]

Yeah. Who. Who do they have beef with? Yeah, you could make it a little more, right. A little more WWE or something. You know, like give.

[C]

Give us with a dasher. Real house are below deck.

[B]

We're already like doing so much nationalism. Let's bring a little more hype to it. A little more razzle dazzle.

[D]

Yeah, exactly. Make a. Make a little more turf involved, you know, besides just your country. Now you're like, well, if those guys show up in my curling end or whatever they call it, then there's going to be trouble. Big trouble.

[B]

Yeah, that's right, brother.

[D]

You don't know how to sweep a stone like I do, buddy. The cream of the crop, brother.

[B]

I'm coming to your house. That's houses, I think, where you try to get those stones into.

[D]

Oh, yeah, Again, there you go.

[B]

You know, kind of freestyling where. This is why we have a writer's room. Are there any sports that. Or events that you all didn't have a ton of experience with but have like, really enjoyed by surprise or just kind of by like, oh, I stumbled across this and I was riveted.

[C]

Cross country for me, the sheer athleticism involved to make yourself propel up the hill. I watched a race that I think took like three minutes and roughly 90 seconds into the race, it was pretty close and. And all of a sudden this dude from a Scandinavian country I can't remember immediately turned into eek, Lance Armstrong going up the hills in the Tour de France and just left everyone in the dust like. It was a remarkable achievement and just absolutely trucking up the hill. And what's great about the Olympics now is they have all these remarkable drone camera angles that they weren't like they didn't have before. And now you can really see a lot of the crazy athleticism of these people that you weren't privy to before. And cross country just blew My mind because, you know, if you're on an elliptical for five minutes, my thighs start burning. I can't imagine what it's like out there.

[B]

Totally.

[D]

And just to piggyback on that, I will say the drones have really changed the game. I mean, because it was like before, it was like a static camera, top of the hill, bottom of the hill. And now we were watching some of the slalom skiing and I don't know why, but there was a mic on the drone and you could hear it. I don't know if you've experienced.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

And it's like, why can I like, let's just turn that mic off. Because it just sounds like bees are in my house and I think I'm being attacked by thousands of angry bees. But it's like you can see it when they do the bobsled. You can see the drones falling them down. And it's like really changed, I think. I don't know if they've done that before so much. I think it was mostly like cable cameras and that kind of thing and static. But it's really changed the game. The drones make it so cool. It just gives you a whole new, like, viewpoint of all of it, obviously.

[C]

And the best thing about drones is there's no problems with them. Nothing. Nothing problematic about it at all. So we can just enjoy it.

[B]

Technology that has never been misused.

[C]

We did it.

[D]

Yeah. I mean, God forbid that technology gets in the wrong hands. But so far, so good.

[B]

So far. Just first watching skiers and snowboarders and.

[D]

The two person luge. That's my. That's my thing.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

I just sent Joe this meme that was like, the two person luge looks like a lie that someone really committed to. Or they're like, no, no, you go.

[B]

You.

[D]

We both. You both go at the same time. They're like, no, you don't. They're like, you know, watch. And then someone did it.

[B]

That doesn't seem right.

[D]

Then they're like, oh, well, I guess. I guess this is the sport now.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

We're.

[B]

We're so intimate.

[C]

Yeah. And are they married? You know?

[B]

Yeah, I need to know. We need that on the chiron in the lower third.

[D]

Who's married if they're not, they probably should be after that.

[B]

Yeah. To make it an honest luge in God's eyes. You know, though, this was a little hiccup I had because it's so thrilling to watch a race where someone pulls out ahead of the others, but you lose a little bit of that. Like, oh, photo finish, right? When it's one person and they show the little green for like this person's like 0.2 seconds ahead of the other. The previous best time, we're like 0.4 seconds behind. And it's like, I believe it. And that is helpful context. But gosh, it's so exciting to watch someone just like get out in front and take the bull by the horns, as it were.

[C]

It is funny. Cause I was watching some speed skating this morning and they have that as well. And the announcer, the person was ahead of the pace the person had set previously, like, you know, a quarter of a second. And the announcer's just like, oh, really off to a lousy start. No chance here. And they kept gaining on the person and they're like, boy, they're really disappointed in this run. I'm thinking I have no idea what's going on. And I have to trust this person I've never heard before to tell me that this is actually a bad job. Because my eyes are telling me the opposite. A lot of trust is involved with the broadcasting of the Olympics.

[B]

It's so interesting too, because a truly one second difference that you might not even notice if you were counting, if you're count how fast this person finished their speed skating run, you would probably be off one direction or another and have no idea. And when you're watching and you have the hundredths of a second in front and they're announcing it and they're going, wow, this is just a brutal. They were really a favorite coming out of nationals and their family is going to excommunicate them after this. They are really bringing shame to their home country.

[D]

Going to be an awkward Thanksgiving.

[B]

They're going to get together on Thanksgiving. Even though they are from a country that does not celebrate Thanksgiving, they're going to get together just to shame their skater cousin.

[C]

The successful. The American exceptionalism was in this Olympics. They're now all celebrating Thanksgiving.

[B]

They all have to have an awkward Thanksgiving. That's right.

[D]

There was just a speed skating one that where they literally tied and because, I mean, it's like, whoa. It's a laser across the finish line. And if you watch them in the speed skating, they. They all like kind of put one skate ahead. And it was literally like photo finish on the laser and it was exactly the same. And they're like, this is like almost improbable.

[C]

Wow.

[D]

And they gave them both gold medals because of it, which is incredible.

[B]

That's nice.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I've never heard of it being that close before.

[D]

It was really crazy to see because, I mean, like I said, you know, they have all this technology around it now, where probably in, like, 1963, they would have just been like, well, you're a communist country. You get third or whatever, you know. But now.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The judges are having a fist fight.

[D]

There's been some of that, too. There's been some. Some judging controversy, right?

[A]

What?

[D]

Oh, I haven't heard no fist fighting, but I can, I think. In one of the figure skating competitions, there was. There was, like, a judge that has a bad reputation of kind of, like, sandbagging, you know, like, countries that they don't like.

[C]

But you see that in the NBA, so, you know, I like when I have things that are, like, personal to me that make sense in the Olympics, like, oh, that's just the Scott Foster of figure skating. Just in there, right? Yeah, it's perfect.

[B]

Because I feel like that was always, like, kind of joke logic when I was a kid. People would go like, oh, the Russian judge. They're very tough. And it's like, oh, no, they actually. It is just people that have aesthetic preferences and, like, national biases. It's pretty spectacular that, like, every four years we get together and people from countries all over the world take out their personal grudges on one another.

[C]

What a privilege to get to that point, to be a judge of an Olympic sport and just be like, oh, I can't wait for Sweden to come in. Finally. We're going to put them in their place.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

It's so funny that a judge, like, a judge, has a bad reputation. And, like, they're like. They. They're not just, like, kicked out. They let them come back again.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

The Same lady for 30 straight years has had the same grudge. It's like, well, yep, that's just Barbara, you know, what are you gonna do?

[B]

Bulgarian Barbara.

[D]

She knows where the bodies are buried. And she's just like, no, I'm a judge. And, you know, you're gonna. You're just gonna have to deal with this. And I don't like anybody.

[B]

Yeah, you're gonna have. Well, before I let you go, I would like to play a little game that we play frequently on the nightly. It is called Kiss, Marry, Kill. And we're gonna play Milano Cortina edition of Kiss Marry, Kill. It is much like a game you might have played at slumber parties in your youth.

[D]

Real mature, Josh. Real mature.

[B]

Because we try to keep it a little family friendly. There's no sexual intercourse, but there is murder as part of this.

[D]

This all makes sense.

[C]

The American wife.

[B]

Let's start here. Kiss, marry, kill. Just as equipment. Skis, snowboards, luge, sleds.

[D]

Okay, well, I'll just. I'll just kick it off and I'll say, I'm gonna. I'm gonna kiss skis. I'm gonna marry Lou Schledz, because why not? That's fun. That seems fun. And then the. The only time I ever snowboarded, I broke my tailbone. And it's been the bane of my existence for the last 30 years. So I'm thinking I killed snowboards because they tried to kill me. So.

[B]

Yeah, just vengeance.

[D]

Yeah, retribution.

[B]

Classic Olympics vengeance.

[D]

But I'm marrying that loose sled, baby. Wow. Lock it. Locking it up.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

Yeah, lock it down. When you. When you know, you know.

[D]

Yeah. Put a ring on it.

[B]

What about you, Joe?

[C]

I'm gonna kill the loosh.

[D]

Yeah. Kill the luge.

[C]

I. I absolutely have to kill the luge. That is. That is literally death on a sled.

[B]

That is.

[C]

That is a terrifying object. I don't. I don't trust it with my heart. For short term, for a kiss. Or long term to marry. So we gotta get the luge completely out of there. I think skis are more stable, they've been around longer, they're more established, they're more reliable. You know, they drink less Mountain Dew than a snowboard does. So I'm gonna. I'm gon marry the skis out of stability, and then I'm going to smooch the snowboard. It's a good time here for a short time, not a long time. So we're going to smooch the snowboard, we're going to marry the skis, and we're going to kill the loosh.

[D]

Keep it extreme.

[B]

Got to keep it extreme. This raises. Joe, you raised an excellent question. And, Jeremiah, to your snow burning injury, not to make you relive past trauma. What is the number one Olympic sport, especially winter Olympics, especially while we're here, that you. If someone was like, could you complete this activity without grievous injury? What would you be the most likely to be like? I cannot.

[D]

Oh, I cannot. Oof.

[B]

Or what's the one that you're like, I could do that. Like, I wouldn't win. Sure. But I could get from end to end.

[D]

Yeah. Like, I could. I could do the speed skating. Like, you're just skating. You're just skating in a circle. Like, I wouldn't. Like, you know, like, my tines would not be close to anybody. But I could do it it.

[B]

But you could get there. I could do it.

[D]

What I couldn't do. Well, now with the ski mo thing, where you've got to climb a mountain and then ski down it.

[C]

You love the ski mo.

[D]

That's probably it because I. I probably couldn't do either, if we're being honest, you know, Like, I think I could do the bobsled. You know, I mean, it's like you get in the thing. Like, not to say that it's like, not hard, like, you know, to steer and all that stuff. Like, there is. There is, you know, talent and skill to it, but. But I think once you're in it, gravity does.

[B]

You could go top to bottom and survive.

[D]

Gravity does most of it once you're in there. I think, you know.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I do think anything in a sled is. Is realistic. I. I would probably try to slow that thing down. It's going awfully fast. Same 75 miles an hour is probably like 65 miles an hour too many that I want to be at like a comfortable 10. Just a leisurely pace.

[B]

A lazy river kind of pacing.

[C]

Precisely. We can just have some snacks. Sort of enjoy myself. I do like skeleton athletes. They have the helmets because they're face down. One person has like the venom helmet. Others have like, really cool things that like, I guess intimidate the track. I don't know. They look cool, though.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Anything sled related, I would like to do it. Then basically anything on a mountain, I'm going to be out of ski jumping.

[B]

That's the one for me because that's one you. There's. You have to do it.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, you know what I mean? Even with moguls, it's like I would just put my skis in pizza formation and just try to go as slow as possible over those suckers. Once you get to that jump. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. There's no way.

[B]

Well, here it is. Yeah. Even like the half pipe, you go, I bet I could get myself up and down without getting up in the air. Just kind of like you, like, I could survive. They would be like, this is the worst half pipe run we've ever seen. This person seems to have a deep fear of the activity. I don't know why he's.

[D]

But he's alive at the end.

[B]

He is alive at the end. Which you don't get a lot of points for. Like, they're probably. I bet you could get more points showing up dead at the end but doing really well at the beginning. The middle that I would get being Alive the whole time.

[C]

What can I do that I won't be banned for life by the IOC afterwards? Like, I want that to be my floor.

[B]

Yeah, well.

[D]

And I just sent. I just sent Joe a text, like, a week ago when I realized. I don't know, I felt like a grandparent, where I was like, are these sleds really doing 80 miles an hour? Like, I guess I just never noticed that. But now. Now it's, like, on the screen where it gives you like, a. You know, like, current miles per hour, and it's like, I didn't think it was 80. Like, that's insane.

[B]

Yeah, well, because there's no. There's no context. You're just like, that looks fast and it's. But there's no. Like, they don't show it against, like. Okay, here's what it looks like against city traffic, and here's what it looks like against highway traffic.

[D]

Right? Against a crotch rocket. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like.

[C]

Like, when you see a bullet train going by itself, you're like, that's a train. But when you see it next to a moped, you're like, wow, that's dangerous.

[B]

That's so fast. Totally.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

So it is. It is really thrilling to watch all these athletes at kind of the peak of their skills in ways that we don't see most of the time. Like, there's only. Usually it's just during the Olympics that I see, like, a downhill skier or a speed skater. And it's been so wonderful to have you both along for the show tonight. Before we all turn in, as you know, we like to ask our guests to give a special good night to someone or something out there in the world. To a friend, a loved one, a group of people, a mountain, whatever feels right. Before we. Before we say goodbye.

Well, I'll start. These two are not technically my friends. It's an unrequited friendship, but I've really fallen deeply in love with both Chaac and Bates, and I know they're listening right now. Great job on getting that silver medal. Great job on the love that you've shown not only for sports, but each other. And I hope you have a wonderful night's sleep clutching your new prize. Congratulations.

That's very sweet.

Thank you. Joe and Jeremiah, do you have a good night to send out there in the world?

[D]

I do, and it's also to an Olympian that doesn't know who I am, but I'm, like, sort of deeply crushing on it. And that is Francesca Lollobrigida, who is an Italian speed skater. Who won a gold medal. She won a gold medal on her 35th birthday, which is just like the coolest story. There's like all these clips of her with her family and she's got like a 3 year old son that kept trying to grab the microphone when they're trying to interview her after she wins the gold medal. And she's a four time Olympian and she's been doing a long time and she's just like a bright light. And also just like, like when they interview her in English, she has like that quintessential Italian accent, you know, where she's just like, I'm so happy. And it's just like this. Oh God, it just warms my heart. So good night, Francesca. I hope you enjoy your gold medal and your beautiful family. You're just a ray of light in this world.

[B]

That's wonderful. Thank you both so much for those good nights and thank you so much for being here this evening on the nightly. It's time for me to scuttle off to bed at a slow and safe and gentle speed. So good night, Jeremiah and good night, Joe.

[D]

Night night.

[C]

Good night, Jo.
