Welcome to Night Light, ladies and gentlemen.
How are we doing tonight, Wisconsin?
Great to have you with me on this Thursday night.
Conrad, what is Thursday night again?
It
We dates how right you are.
Yeah, so Merry Christmas everybody great to have you here on nightlight We are broadcasting statewide over our beautiful cold state tonight from beautiful downtown Green Bay and The phone lines ladies and gentlemen are open you are welcome to share anything you'd like with us throughout the course of the show always more fun when you guys Participate in the tomfoolery that we have going here every night from six to eight.
So we have a good show tonight.
It's great that you're here
We have a great show tonight and tomorrow night.
We sort of have packed the show with nothing but fun.
And you know what?
What are we doing here?
That's what we're here for, right?
We're trying to get you to escape your day, have some fun show biz talks and entertainment talk and ease into the rest of the night here on the Christmas Eve of weekdays.
Tonight, folks, it is our popcorn pick of the week.
It's Thursday.
That means we do that every week.
And tonight, making the popcorn pick of the week, giving his pick.
is none other than Main Street's host, John McGivern.
He will be here at 6.35.
John is a public television rock star.
I want to say his last show was the most watched PBS show, I think, ever.
And it was only on in like three or four states.
That's how many people found this show and love it.
And now he's branching off into even more states with his new show, Main Streets.
And we will talk with John a little bit about that as well.
After he gives us his popcorn pick of the week, we'll talk about the launching of season four of Main Streets.
Very excited to talk to John about that.
I had the opportunity to be a guest on his previous show, which was called Around the Corner when they came to Marinette.
And that was a lot of fun welcoming John into my house.
And he made fun of me.
And I gave it right back to him.
And he was okay with that.
We had an instant friendship.
John's great.
And then at 720,
all the way from down the street here in Green Bay, Nick Wattier will be here talking about a really fun event at next month's Green Bay Film Festival.
They're having an event to honor, I think it's the 50th anniversary of the film, The Giant Spider Invasion, and Bill Rabain will be there as well here at the, I think it's the Tarleton, if I'm not mistaken.
That's where they do their...
There are venues for the Green Bay Film Festival.
So Nick's been on the show before.
He's always fun to talk about.
The Green Bay Film Festival is a really, really cool festival and I love the way they do it.
They don't do it all at once like many film festivals where it's just one week of craziness.
That's fun too, but they space it out.
They do like one event a month and it works for them.
So good for him.
Nick will be here.
We'll talk to Nick about what they have coming up.
It'll be great fun as always.
Conrad, how you doing tonight, buddy?
That is a much less salacious way to say that than you were on mino in the mayor.
Yes So you were here they were in Oshkosh?
Yeah,
yourself a big old
I was off the
It was just you
home
take a
Oh, OK.
And
Went home.
There you go.
All right.
It's nice that you live close enough like that.
it's only about 13 minutes.
It's only about 13.
It's about 13 minutes, 19 seconds or so, give or take.
I don't have the exact time, but you know, it's around there.
Depending on if I hit the lights.
It took me an hour and 40 minutes to drive home last night in that slop.
Really?
In town?
Yeah.
In town,
We had a convoy of about, and I talked about this last night of the year on my way down, how I got stuck behind a snow plow because they take up like a lane and a half.
And last night, there was like five cars.
And I'm like, all right, this is O'Connell County.
When we hit Marinette County, it'll probably turn, but nobody wanted to pass them.
We're all doing like 30 miles an hour is maddening.
On the highway, on 41, yeah.
Pardon me.
So there you go, but much better tonight and they got the roads cleared and it's fantastic.
So now we just sit back and wait for even more snow this weekend.
Should be fine.
Can't wait.
Speaking of Groundhog Day.
So I saw this, this cracked me up.
You know what?
Let's do our question first.
Let's get this out of the way because tomorrow night, ladies and gentlemen, is a very romantic night.
One of the most romantic nights of our year.
Would you agree with that Conrad?
I don't think I'm going out on the limb here.
It's
It's no sweetest day, but it is Valentine's Day and it's happening tomorrow night.
And that leads us to our question of the night.
Question.
What are your Valentine's Day plans?
Now, I want to sort of set this up a little more.
If you don't have a special girl or a special guy, that's fine.
It's still a day you should kind of lose yourself in you, though.
Like what are you gonna do?
It's Valentine's Day treat yourself order some good food buy yourself some flowers if you're alone That's fine, too.
If you're a couple with someone you can tell us what your plans are I want to know what everybody's Valentine's Day plans are and I don't think it's any coincidence that today is national condom day right before Valentine's Day So go out and pick up a boatload just in case you never know
Oh,
Oh, no.
I kind of messed that up didn't I?
everywhere give people the wrong everywhere
Yeah, so if you're listening In Sri Lanka right now get out there get yourself some condoms.
It's let's celebrate this all over the place But it is Valentine's Day.
So tell us your plans eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five civic I'll be honest.
I mean, I'm married and my wife tolerates me But I still will probably go home tomorrow night after the show kick my feet up and watch a movie
or some color television, maybe make some popcorn, something like that.
And then we'll probably celebrate on the weekends.
But I don't have huge plans tomorrow night.
But what are your plans?
Let us know in the stream too, or the app.
If you've got the app, it's very easy to use.
Just click on the little text icon next to whatever station you're listening to, and let us know your Valentine's Day plans.
Conrad, what are you going
very romantic.
It is
Oh, yeah, and that's significant because
You know what I'm gonna do just to celebrate tomorrow this might be too information too much It might be too much information folks.
I'm gonna wear a condom throughout tomorrow night show just to celebrate both days because I feel like radio
Condoms they kind of go hand-in-hand.
It's also get a different name day.
I'm not gonna do that I like my name Dude, there's not a name you you ever wanted Not that I'm not embarrassed about now like when I was a kid, you know
Brent there you go.
That's a dude's name
No, I will, at this point I'm keeping my name, there's no point in changing it, but I will be, I'll be wearing a condom tomorrow night throughout the show.
like a
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I'll be wearing a condom so I won't be focused too much.
Or as Glenn said last night,
I know something you don't.
That's what he would do in the meetings, why he put syrup in his shoes or a piece of bologna in his underpants.
So that was a lot of information.
And I feel like, I feel like I have a bond not with Glenn that I did not have before last night's show.
I had a great text exchange today with Glenn though, very good guy, and he was a really fun guest to have.
So we'll definitely...
In fact, he said in his text today, he said, you know, while I was making funny faces last night on the radio, I could have been talking about a new movie I have coming out that's the best work I've ever done.
So I love
about that and lost himself in the show.
But we'll have Glenn back on to talk about his new movie coming up, coming out soon.
So this cracked me up.
And just in time for Valentine's Day, folks, I think this is just terrible news.
Kanye West.
and Bianca Sensori are most likely splitting up.
And I mean, you know, the divorce rate is very high, but I feel like if they can't make it work, who can?
Yeah, he's out of his mind.
I mean, he's...
a very nice platform.
It's awful.
And, you know, it's funny because it's Twitter.
It's a privately held company.
He could do whatever he wants.
But people that are so wrapped up in free speech, it's like you don't really have free speech when it comes to a private company.
They have their own expectations.
But Elon Musk, he really has none, except as long as you say crazy stuff, he doesn't care.
Yeah.
Or give the Nazi salute.
Yeah, that hit home, though.
I thought if Kanye and Bianca can't make a go of it, who can?
Maybe we're just not supposed to be together for our entire lives.
I mean, I thought they had something special.
I was wrong.
She has something special that we've all seen.
But Kanye is crazy.
I mean, what, what?
Apparently now there are lip readers and they say he was, people could see him saying, drop the coat now.
And, I mean, it's so weird.
She really did look like she was in a hostage situation.
And he, apparently, I don't want to make light of it.
I think he probably struggles with mental illness.
Obviously, I think that's been made public.
But at some point, yeah, you got to call quits on that marriage.
You know what?
Maybe he can get Kim Kardashian next.
Did you see she came out, Kim Kardashian?
Her cluelessness is just incredible to me.
She said on the Kardashians the other night, and I just read about this.
She said she couldn't believe she got booed at the Tom Brady roast.
She's like, they booed me.
I'm like, do you watch your show?
She's booable.
Yeah.
Like epic proportions.
She said she'd never do a roast again.
Because they're not good for the soul, and she never imagined she would get booed.
And then they edited him out.
Like, how fragile are you?
Don't get me started.
Too late.
Alright, I don't care though.
You know what?
I'm happy because John McGivorn is here at 635 to do the popcorn pick.
Tomorrow night's Valentine's Day.
It's a wonderful couple days at Night Light here, folks, and I am so glad you're here with me tonight.
We're coming right back.
This is Pete Schwabba, and Night Light on the Civic Media, radio network.
Peter Gabriel's birthday today That's one of my all-time favorite songs.
I love in your eyes.
Happy birthday to Peter Gabriel.
I don't even remember.
I think he was like 76 Did it say?
Oh We don't have it on the sheet.
All right,
he he he turns 76 or I don't know I'm trying to
He's still putting on new music though.
guys a gamer 75 75 he's got to be older than that.
Whatever it doesn't matter.
It's good to have him in the world.
He makes beautiful music and happy birthday Peter Gabriel so
This Kanye stuff, it's like the world is falling apart, folks.
Kanye West and Bianca are getting divorced, it looks like.
And the announcement comes right before Valentine's Day, on National Condom Day.
A conspiracy theorist might look at this and connect the dots.
And I'm sure they are right
I'm sure there'll be some new thing we hear that all the lunatics will be buying into.
Did you see this picture of Zoe's Aldana and her three boys?
I put it on the show sheet.
If you could put that on the stream Conrad, I just think it's hilarious.
She has three sons all within like four years of each other.
They're like from six to 10 in ages and they all look exactly like her.
Which is great.
I mean, she's a beautiful woman.
I don't know if that's good though for three young boys to look exactly like their mother and they have long hair like her too.
Which is insane So That kind of cracked me up.
I don't know that I would want I would feel bad if my kids looked exactly like me I Would want them to aim higher when it comes to their looks But I realized they have no No control over it really and then did you see this?
Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelsey thing cheese fans are really upset apparently they went out to eat with Brittany
What is the matter with people?
You know, honestly,
No, not because of that.
They played like crap.
Yeah, but a lot of that could have to do with the Eagles and Yeah, it's it's just hilarious to me like they're truly blaming this double that like they've got to eat Do you not think people eat within 72 hours of the Super Bowl?
There we go.
All right If you're watching on the stream folks, we've got Zoe Saldana up and the picture of her three sons who look exactly like Zoe Saldana
They look like
lioness program.
I mean, I don't want to judge, but if your three sons look exactly like you, a beautiful woman, maybe at least in the formative years, cut their hair.
Do something to differentiate them physically from their mother.
But you know what, they're Hollywood kids.
They don't care.
They're not they're not on this on the playground here in Green Bay or in Milwaukee hanging out They'd probably go to some rich school You know we get away with stuff like that probably have names like like Will Smith named his kids.
What are his kids?
Or Nick Cannon's kids
outrageous.
They're completely outrageous.
They make no sense on any level.
We also, folks, I obtained some information, an audio tape of the Philadelphia City Council planning the Super Bowl Parade in Philadelphia.
And we're going to be premiering that on Nightlight.
Maybe tomorrow, possibly Monday, we'll have that.
It's a meeting.
It's pandemonium.
Trying to do their best to juggle Philly sports fans and keep them You know just kind of keep a harness on them so to speak because they're pretty crazy the amount of puking and public urinating and fighting Like why would you ever go to a sports parade in Philadelphia?
And if you do you should expect one of those things to happen to you someone's gonna pee on you You're gonna go home with vomit on your clothes.
You might get your hat tag.
You might have a fan in your face because you don't like their sports team.
But you might just get randomly sucker punched.
It's a, it sounds like a miserable experience.
Yes it does.
Yeah.
But we've got some audio and we'll be, I've got my top secret source delivering it to us as we speak.
So it will either be here tomorrow or Monday.
Oh man, it's tough.
I, you know, you put yourself out there because you want to break a big story.
We will be debuting that on Night Light in the very near future.
You won't want to miss that.
All right, our question tonight is what are your Valentine's Day plans?
Valentine's Day is tomorrow night.
Whether you have a special someone or not, make it a great day.
How are you going to celebrate?
That's our question tonight.
What are your Valentine's Day plans?
And as I mentioned today is also International Condom Day.
Do you are you I don't want to get too personal here Conrad, but do you like one of those guys that keeps a condom on hand just in case?
you got to like run to the gas station and break up that moment
But in your nightstand, I would imagine you have a healthy supply I
You know I can I just want everybody listening to know I don't ever expect Conrad to answer Honestly, I wouldn't so
I'll take ways to make sex even weirder Alex for 500 Susan from McFarland says since it's National Condom Day, maybe the president of the United States or should I say Eli and the Musk
Condoms today all over the world and Air Force One You know what Susan?
Nothing would surprise me you might be honest something there Terry from wasa says I quit smoking recently And I have to give my wife credit helping me to quit you see I always enjoyed a cigarette after we had sex Then he says fix this joke I Have nothing to add to that Terry so maybe all right, you don't smoke anymore
After sex with the wife, have a nice milkshake.
Get yourself
chocolate.
Maybe some lamb chops.
I don't know.
And then Brian in Green Bay says, VD plan, washing my minnow in the mayor mug.
Oh, that sounds like fun.
All right, folks.
John McGivern's coming up next to make the popcorn pick of the
Ladies and gentlemen It is Thursday night it is 6 35 and you know what that means Conrad you know what that means?
All right before I introduce our
There we go.
I couldn't launch into the Popcorn Pick of the Week until I heard the whole shmere, the whole production.
Welcome back, folks.
We are broadcasting live statewide from beautiful Nattown Green Bay.
Great to have you with me on this Thursday, the Christmas Eve of weekdays.
And it's a Popcorn Pick of the Week.
And it's even more special because my old pal, my old acquaintance, no, he's a pal.
John McGivorn is here joining us now on Nightlight for the second time.
John, how are you?
how are you?
Good.
Great to have you, buddy.
You as well.
This is really fun because, you know, like I said, I don't know you well, but every time I've been around you, you just kind of, you have this great energy.
And I knew that you would be perfect for this because I assume you love movies and a good movie snack to go with it.
So I thought this is a perfect segment to have you on.
How are you?
I appreciate that very much.
Thank you.
Before we get into some really cool stuff happening with Main Street and Season 4 and all that kind of stuff, let's knock out this popcorn stuff.
So what kind of movies typically
Does John McGivern like?
Do you have a favorite genre, John?
I have seen a real pain and I enjoyed it.
Yeah.
Just a very little bit a couple of weeks ago right after I saw it.
I thought initially when I saw it, John, I made the mistake, you know, all these nominees kind of run together and I thought it was up for Best Picture.
It's not, but Kiernan Culkin is up for Best Actor and he was great.
And so was Jesse Eisenberg.
I did not know that, no.
You're going to play the role that he did.
And I just thought he was so understatedly brilliant.
And I thought the movie stayed with me.
I saw it a couple of weeks ago, and I've been talking about it for a couple of weeks.
He was, I will say this, John, and not to, I'm not really disagreeing, but he was very similar to his character in Succession, but he plays that role so good.
Like you're right, he was really good and I could see why he got an Oscar nod, but I'm kind of with you, I feel like Jesse Eisenberg,
He just has such a great expressive face.
He always looks like he's kind of in pain, and you're always trying to read his mind with what he's thinking, especially when he's playing off Kieran Culkin.
That's a great movie, I saw it, and I liked it, yeah.
So what did you think of Wicked?
I thought Wicked was a spectacle, I liked it, but I'd be surprised if it won Best Picture, and I don't know why I'm saying that.
and
I
Yeah, I'm with you there.
I thought it definitely should have gotten nominated.
In fact, of all the best picture nominees, John, I will say, I like them all for a certain reason, but none of them really jump out at me as like, I haven't seen, I'm still here.
And I haven't seen the brutalist those are the two I still have to see and those both sound like Oscar films to me These other ones like even a complete unknown really liked it, but I'm like, okay, maybe that could win or maybe this could win Anora Best picture.
I don't know
no no it'll be interesting year to see where they go and what they you know because it's It's it's really kind of a crapshoot for any of them.
Yeah, as you said, I'm not sure what what will but
The fact that Ariana Grande, like I loved her, I liked her more than I like Cynthia.
Like I just thought that that role is really, is kind of specific and she made it broader than I thought.
And I thought she was charming and like I loved her in it.
Yeah, I agree.
I thought she stole film in a lot of ways.
So let's talk about your movie.
Viewing experience time.
Do you prefer to go to the theater?
Do you prefer?
Do you have a chair you like to sit at home and kind of curl up with some snacks?
What's your approach to movie watching?
So we went to the historic Oriental Theater.
That's where I saw everything growing up.
It was nine blocks from our house.
And on Sunday, my father would give us 50 cents and we'd walk down.
So that's where I saw everything as a kid, the sound of music, the Oriental Theater, the quarter to pay a quarter for snacks and the snacks that we bought.
um we're always like a box of red hots because red hots there were a lot of them and it could last you a slow poke do you remember
yes like a tootsie roll right sort of
a big tootsie roll on a stick that would take you the whole movie to eat unless you were me and and and made your way through it melt duds is what we always got as kids um at the oriental
and a jawbreakers.
We didn't have enough money to buy the popcorn and the soda, so we would get the nickel candy and we'd buy a couple of world's boxes.
But the Oriental Theater, which is still today, now blocks from where I live in downtown Milwaukee, and it's about nine blocks from where I live on the other side.
You know, so I think the oriental is the middle of where I live now and where I lived as a kid.
So it's
great.
Such a beautiful theater.
That's great.
What about when you're sitting at home, John?
Do you have a different snack for like when you binge watch TV or when you watch movies at home?
Popcorn.
There you go.
You know the Whirly?
No, it's Whirly.
It's the popcorn maker that has, you put in your...
you're a quarter of a cup of popcorn and you fill that quarter of a cup with the oil and you put it into the whirly, you put the top of the whirly and then you turn it.
It takes like three and a half minutes to pop the entire batch and it makes the best popcorn.
So we'll do that on a movie night.
Otherwise, when we're watching TV on a regular
faces.
We don't do it.
But if we're like tonight, we're watching boom, we'll make the popcorn.
You got to make it an event.
And that that's that's perfect.
I love that.
And what kind of shows does John McGivern binge at home when you're not watching a movie?
Do you have a TV show you guys like to watch or that you're into?
Yeah, that's been on a while, right?
I think I watched it right when it came out.
asleep.
Hey, did you see Amelia Perez?
You want to talk about, all right, there's so much going on in that film, but when it comes to subtitles, you know, a lot of it's in Spanish, so they're singing in Spanish, they're talking in Spanish.
You've got, if you've got the regular subtitles on, you've got English, Spanish, Italicized Spanish for what the song is.
It's like, it's a nightmare trying to follow that movie, but I totally get what you're saying.
All right.
So that's great.
So is your popcorn pick of the week, John, the one we just discussed before?
Do you have something?
Is that what it is?
Or have you not given it yet?
OK, a real pain.
All right.
We usually do a drum roll, but we jumped into it right away.
And that is a great pick, folks.
If you haven't seen A Real Pain, it is a really good movie to watch.
So definitely check it out.
And it's free to stream right now.
I think I watched it, I don't know, at Prime or something like that.
Didn't cost me a penny.
All right, here's my issue, John.
I live in the Marinette area, as you know.
You've been in my house, you know.
I've been on
porch.
You've been on my porch.
You've got a great porch.
I was kicking underwear out of the way of the cameras when you went through the house.
So you know exactly, you literally know all our dirty laundry.
But I
Our theater there is great, but it doesn't really, we don't get a huge variety.
We get the rom-coms, the action films.
There's no foreign films to speak of, very few independent films.
So I typically stream, or when I'm in Chicago or Milwaukee, I love the Oriental Theater.
I'll take the opportunity to see whatever I can there.
But mostly these days, and that's not how I like to watch movies.
I just do it because it's convenient.
Yeah.
So, John McGivern is my guest.
He is the host of Main Streets on PBS.
And I think we should turn our attention, John, to season four.
Let's talk about what you're doing.
You're doing such incredible things.
You're a TV rock star, possibly the most likable host in the history of television.
Am I overstating that or am I understating that?
I don't know.
Who knows?
No, I think you're right, Pete.
Oh man, that's funny.
So what, what can we expect?
Season four just dropped recently, right?
Or just started your few episodes in, I believe?
Not that people should not listen to you at seven, but at seven o'clock on your PBS station will be Frankenmuth, Michigan.
Have you been to Frankenmuth?
It's that it's got the largest Christmas store in the world and it's it's this Bavarian village sort of like I had this preconceived notion that we're going to a Christmas village German village and I thought we're going to Wisconsin Dells but in the German sort of way when in fact it was really kind of incredibly well done and To watch the episode you will see
a destination spot that you'll want to visit.
Frank and Muth, Michigan.
That's great.
We did
Oh,
to Luddington.
Oh,
Yeah.
Do you know that there are people who pay to do a John McIverne, go where John McIverne's gone?
There were two buses, 48 people on each bus counted up and they were on the
they got on the badger with us, which meant that I started working the moment we got on the badger because there were 96 people who were like, hi, John.
That's like a four hour ride, right?
They made me call bingo.
But that, that's happened now.
They did that for around the corner, which is the show we did for nine years.
It was
That is so great, John.
Um, so
All right, Frank, it's funny.
I looked at your schedule today on your website and you have all the cities lined up.
And that was like, it took me back to like the 90s when I did stand up.
I think I worked every one of those cities, so I probably had some crossover with your audience.
But John McGivern is here.
We have to do a very quick break and then we'll come back with a few more minutes with John.
We're talking Main Streets.
They're in season four.
Such an incredible run for John as the host of several shows.
And we'll talk to John a few minutes more about that when we come back on Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media.
What are your Valentine's Day plans ladies and gentlemen that is our
question, our nightlight question of the night.
What are your Valentine's Day plans?
Reach us on the stream, the app, the old fashioned radio, the text line, just reach us because we'd love to hear from you throughout the course of the show.
John McGivern is my guest right now.
He's the host of Main Streets on public television.
And I would say Wisconsin public, or I would say PBS Wisconsin, but you're kind of all over the place now, John.
You've, you guys are in like what six or seven states now it seems like.
it's
I think I remember you saying that about around the corner, too, which I know you're not one to toot your own horn too much.
But that's pretty incredible, John.
I mean, to do that with two shows, that's remarkable.
You've got Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin this season, Cedar Rapids, Long Grove, Illinois, Kokomo, Indiana, West Bend, Wisconsin.
It sounds like it's going to be just a great.
Let me ask you, John, what's the biggest city you would go to?
It seems like most of these are sort of smaller towns or small ish.
Did you guys do a big city?
So if you watch this season, we did Indianapolis.
We did a neighborhood in Indianapolis.
We did Cathedral Hill in St.
Paul.
We did Northeast in Minneapolis.
So we're going into the bigger cities and claiming a neighborhood.
So Mass Ave or the bottle district in Indianapolis aired a couple of weeks ago, I believe.
those are my favorite to get into those big cities and kind of feel what it's like to a city like Indianapolis felt so much like my hometown of Milwaukee
and
That's a great Yeah, cuz a lot of those neighborhoods are like small towns anyway Sometimes the people don't ever leave and you've they've got their customs and that's just great So let me ask you this you've got all right.
You've been in some pretty big movies You were in sheer madness.
I remember in Chicago that that ran forever And now you've been hosting
your own show in a couple different derivations thereof, I guess.
What is your favorite thing to do?
Are you at home more now than you ever have been?
Do you like doing bigger productions where other people write for you?
What's your favorite?
So in fact, this Saturday, a week from Saturday, I'm in McGwanagall at a 900 seat performing arts center.
And I do that.
while we're not shooting.
So we shoot from May through October.
And if I had my way, I love doing the theater stuff where it's just me.
I don't work with anybody but me.
I get
I make sure the lights and the sound is good.
And then the people show up and I spend an hour and a half with a group of a thousand people usually.
And that's kind of my favorite thing.
And it still gets me where, you know, my heart is
racing before I walk out on stage and I think every time, why do I do this?
I got to quit doing this.
I hate this.
I get out there and I leave and I'm like, oh my God, that was the best.
So that's what I really love doing.
That TV stuff has now is so second nature since I've been doing it for 15 years.
We've been doing a show.
Wow.
Yeah, it
That's fantastic.
We have a couple of texts here, John, that are sort of directed at you.
Well, part of this one is anyway, Monica from Mount Horrib says.
Disregard the first part, John.
She says, like the sex positive program.
Thank you, Monica.
That's why I'm here.
She says, love John McGivern.
For Valentine's Day, she will be trying to avoid her loser ex-boyfriends.
Moon is full.
They all come out.
Well, curl up with some John McGivern.
That's what I say, Monica.
I mean, you can't go wrong.
And then Tom from Jackson says, hi, Pete.
Is John Irish?
I would assume you are, John, but I don't want to answer for you.
wish
Oh, yeah, we're so Irish.
Yeah, you could get in fights with yourself after a few drinks with that being that John we got about a minute left favorite memory of Main Street's over the last four seasons something you want to share
Yeah,
And then, so what's coming up is that we just decided on the next 13 episodes because season five has been given a green light.
So I think my...
Memories will be made again, starting in May through the end of October.
And we're spending eight of the weeks in Wisconsin again.
We're coming back home and only doing one episode for the other states and eight of them in our great state of Wisconsin.
So I'm looking forward to
it.
They're so lucky to have you.
Keep up the great work, John.
It's so great.
And if you ever come up this way to do another live show, give us a heads up.
I'd love to have you in the studio and we can have some fun here and help you promote it.
It would be a lot of fun.
be
Pete.
All right.
Have a great night.
Keep watching those movies.
That's John McGivern.
Check out Main Streets on PBS Wisconsin.
He is a bona fide, uh, such a great host and a good guy and even better guy.
That's what they say.
Where does that come from, Conrad?
He's a great talent and an even better guy.
I didn't worry.
Have you never heard that before?
I've heard it before.
I don't know where it's from, though.
All right.
Let's go to the Google.
All right.
So we'll read some more of your texts when we come back.
Civic Media's news team is going to keep you informed and tell you what you need to know.
And then at 7.20 tonight, folks, Nick Watier will be here from the Green Bay Film Festival.
We'll be talking about a very fun event they have coming up there with giant spiders invading the Tarleton Theater right down the street here.
We'll do that at 7.20.
We'll read your texts when we come back, and we'll talk about one of my favorite actors, too.
This is Pete Schwabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media radio network.
