Ladies and gentlemen.
So great to have you with me on this Monday night.
What better way to spend a Monday night than to call the entire family in around the radio and have a discussion about beer and aliens and Gene Hackman.
Where else can you find that on a radio program in this day and age?
Conrad, a little help.
You can't, right?
I'm lost.
I don't know.
OK.
Very exciting.
We have Dave Hansen will be here at 735.
He's the brewmaster at Flix Brewhouse in Madison.
And Dave reached out about a month ago and suggested creating a night light inspired beer, which is very exciting.
So that will be ready in probably a couple of weeks.
We'll talk to Dave about that at 735.
Todd Michaels is here.
A new look, Todd Michaels is here.
Well,
Oh, that's right.
I saw that it was Matt Harper on Facebook.
Listen, if there's a way for me to make money somehow with this,
entire body, which is important in radio.
Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, our question of the night is, does Gene Hackman,
He did not leave his kids any of his $80 million fortune.
Not judging, but on my initial glance at this, after he admitted to being an absentee father as an actor where he would leave home for months at a time, not leaving his kids any of his $80 million as it turns out, they will get it because of how he died in proximity, the timeline with his wife's death.
There were no secondary beneficiaries, so they're gonna get the money anyway.
Does Gene Hackman not leaving anything to his kids and as will change your opinion of the legendary actor that is tonight's Question of the Night?
Text us.
App us, stream us, whatever.
We would love to know what you think and I will read it on the radio.
Todd Michaels is here.
He's the producer of the Mino and the Mayor show here at WGBW and WISS.
Every morning you can hear those guys so much fun and a great way to start your day.
He's also a paranormal investigator.
We're talking about a new documentary that came out insisting that aliens live among us and do exist.
But we have our doubts.
but we're discussing it and we're talking aliens.
Todd, we have a text or AJ from the 608 who kind of touched on something we said before.
AJ says, hey, Pete and Todd, what is your take on interdimensional beings?
Because I thought that's what I believe the Sasquatch to be, very intelligent, but have powers we don't have enough information on.
And in my belief system or my mindset is,
Since we can't seem to grab hold of this Sasquatch thing, even though we've got a little bit of evidence or stories and all that kind of stuff, maybe that's what's going on.
Maybe this thing is coming and going from some wormhole or portal or something like that, that we just don't quite understand.
But when you talk about that and you talk about skinwalkers and then you talk about aliens, I just think there's a ton of stuff that we just know nothing about.
Right.
What's a skinwalker?
Well, that goes back to Native American beliefs and things like that.
I just was on a podcast this weekend that talked a little bit about skin walkers.
Kind of freaky stuff, but they are beings or entities that can kind of change shape and become other things.
And yeah.
Wow.
Hey, do you want to drop what the podcast was or tell people where they can follow you in your paranormal investigating?
If you look on Prime, I think it's still on Prime.
There may have been some sort of disagreement on funding it or something like that.
But you can find Haunted State on Prime Video.
And the podcast is The Sandy and Toddcast.
One of my friends Sandy and I talk about ghosts and other weird stuff every week, every other week, something like that.
The Sandy.
and Todd Cast.
I love that.
And I saw that episode.
Well, I saw one of the episodes.
I think I actually saw two, but we talked about your Dork County investigating a really fun show.
And it was really fun to see you on TV as opposed to just hearing your golden pipes on radio.
But I think, OK, here's my issue.
I feel like water.
I feel like if there was something on land.
We would have by now seen it.
I feel like we're in an age of conspiracies where we want to believe something.
Like life is reality TV right now.
And I'm kind of with you.
I think something could exist.
But where is the proof?
Like, I just haven't seen any.
And people, it seems like people want to will this stuff to be true.
And it's also difficult because every once in a while you'll see a brief clip of something that somebody caught on their close circuit television cameras or their ring camera or whatever.
And the problem with that is it's not 1939 anymore and it's not the Wizard of Oz meaning that
with just a little bit of talent and all the technology that's out there, you can fake this stuff very easily for video.
So it's tough to determine what's real and what's not real.
And again, so far I've not seen anything that makes me believe.
Here's the thing, if there are...
dead alien bodies or something.
Roswell, for instance, if there was an alien body that was found and they were researching this thing, where did it go?
Where is it?
Why didn't we see it at least by now, all these years later?
And that's what I was going to ask you about.
What is the, what supposedly happened at Roswell?
I remember watching something probably 40, 30 years ago on this, but what happened there?
Why do people think something happened at Roswell?
The government said, hey, this was just a weather balloon that people saw come out of the sky.
It was not alien related, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That was the United States government that said that.
The problem with this, the timeline on this is right around that time when this news came out, there were people who were trying to scam.
people into believing that they found pieces of UFOs that turned into be like old pieces of jukeboxes and stuff like that from from record players and all that kind of stuff.
So there was this string of people
that were doing hoaxes.
And so that kind of muddied the water on the real research on this and the information that came out on this.
Do you remember the Brady Bunch episode where Greg gets his room up in the attic of the house?
And so
he's up there with
a
whistle and a flashlight.
And
Bobby and Peter are down on the ground and they see this UFO.
And it's just basically Greg and Marsha up in the attic playing a prank on the two of them.
That's a lot of that kind of stuff was going on back in the late 40s and into the 50s where people were making this stuff up.
And then it kind of washes away.
And this happens today with paranormal research, with some of the TV shows that take ghost hunting over the top.
And every time they're out hunting, they're getting possessed and all this kind of stuff.
It takes away any credibility that may actually be there from an investigation like Roswell.
That's really interesting.
Amanda on the text line or on the stream says AI is ruining the ability to find what's real.
Is that true?
Do you know what she means by that?
Basically, what I was just saying is with any kind of talent, even a little bit, you can find an AI generator online right now and say, here's a picture of Peachwaba.
Make Peachwaba a flesh-eating nightmare.
And
it will take your life.
not far to imagine this, but it will take your likeness, Pete, and it will create that.
And it takes everything that is in our nightmare dreams, and it brings it to reality.
And like Amanda saying, it's tough to determine what is AI and what's not.
You've probably seen it too with...
political people where they fake a speech and they say whatever they want these people to say.
I'm talking about Donald Trump or Joe Biden, all that kind of stuff.
They're having conversations that never really happened.
And so while we're doing all this, we're muddying the waters of determining what is real and what's not.
And it's not just aliens, but it's our political climate.
It's what's going on in other parts of our own planet.
It's really tough to determine what's real and what's being made up.
Yeah, and that's the problem.
It really is.
Todd, that was great.
I want to ask you, I sent you an article earlier.
Have you heard this?
This is in northern Wisconsin, a faceless snowmobile ghost on an old rickety arctic cat up near Minakwa.
And what do you think?
That's creepy.
It's almost like headless horseman territory.
Like when I read that, it was a great read.
Have you heard anything about this or is it worth investigating?
And quite honestly, I giggled a little bit through it, only because I've done a lot of investigating of what I would call folklore kind of stuff.
And I've never come across something that was somewhat folklore-ish that ever turned out to be anything
real but apparently somebody up there not only saw this this ghost motor snowmobilist but actually had the snowmobilist ahead of him right behind him on the side not being able to see his face and all that kind of stuff it again show me something real get me a picture
find me something, get an autograph by the ghost or something.
It's hard for me to believe that that it's true.
The other thing with a lot of these these claims, not necessarily this one, but we we've talked before about something called the Pauling light, which is up in Upper Michigan.
Oh, yeah.
There's another one.
on the east coast called Somerville lights or something like that.
Very similar situation.
They figured out it's not cars in the direct eyesight of the person seeing them, but it's a refraction of the light from cars in another location that makes it look like they're there.
Again, scientific proof showing that this is what's really going on there.
The motorcycle one is just kind of a fun little story and there's a guy that I know that loves.
Winter, his name is Kerry Longery, and he loves below zero temperatures and he loves all the snow.
So I think maybe it's just part of his spirit up in northern Wisconsin doing this around Monaco, I think is where this story took place.
I thought
it was cool because it was an ex marine, I guess it was trying to catch.
this ghost with no face and couldn't, like he kept speeding up and the ghost, it just had really creepy elements to it.
And sometimes I read those and I'm like, man, that would be really cool if that was true.
Unless it was me chasing
Todd, I was going to let you go, but we have a phone call.
Can you hang just through a very
take a call.
And then
want to recommend something.
I think you might like to watch along
lines.
So we'll do that.
Todd Michaels is here.
He produces Mino and the Mayor every morning here at WGVW and WISS.
And he's talking paranormal activity here with us tonight.
One of his hobbies, he's a paranormal investigator and always just an absolute blast to talk to.
Dave Hanson, the brew master at Flix Brewhouse in Madison will be here at 735 to tell us all about the new nightlight inspired beer and his process.
That'll be fun.
That's all coming up.
We got a long way to go, Conrad.
Yes, we
look a little too comfortable over there, buddy.
We got a
show left.
All right, we're coming right back with Todd Michaels.
It's Peach Wabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
about that song and I sent that to you today but I there was a teacher at my daughter's school and that song was on over the PA when the kids were changing classes and I said I said what is this what is this song to one of the teachers and he goes shut up and dance with me and I said I really don't think this is the time for that I just want to know the song and he did not really get it and just kind of give me a weird look
Folks, Todd Michaels is here and our question is that I'll share this with you, Todd.
My daughter is...
Kind of a smart ass.
And our question of the night is, is this an effect?
Conrad, what's the question?
That stupid Google just logged
$8
my daughter on the text line, because she's on spring break.
She says, literally could not care
I will pass that along because she thinks, you know, she plays Taylor Swift one time on the show and she thinks she has carte blanche to criticize.
Yeah.
Todd is here.
He is the producer of Mino and the Mayor.
Check that show out every morning here at WGBW and WISS.
We are talking paranormal investigating because that's one of Todd's hobbies.
And we have a phone call, right?
Let's
get to the phone.
Yeah, Ali called.
Maybe Ali has information for us.
Well, I have a question.
for your guest there.
I have a relative who is very much into paranormal and that kind of stuff.
And she always points to the pyramids and the intricate design of the pyramids and how there must be another world out there that helped design that.
And I just wonder what your
thoughts on that might be.
Boy, that's a great question, Ali.
I've heard that before, like people saying we didn't have the technology yet or the whatever.
What do you say to that?
And this just goes off of things that I've seen and experienced on my own and in my investigations, whether you're talking about the pyramids in Egypt or whether you're talking about the Aztec.
pyramids and all that.
There's something going on there, right?
Can we definitely point to outer space and the universe for that?
I don't know that we can do that, but it's a very interesting thing.
And again, if we just sit back and go, well, you know, people came together, they planned this, they built these things, and that's it.
That's the end of the story.
I think we're being really naive.
There's got to be more to it.
Where will we find the answers to that?
I'm not necessarily sure.
I think that if Leonard Nimoy had stuck around a little bit longer and his show in search of would have gone on for many, many decades, he would have gotten to the bottom of it for us.
That's a great
think.
Yeah.
Ali, thank you for the call and thank you for the question.
Todd, before we let you go, do you have a favorite ghost story that you've either investigated or one you'd like to investigate?
It used to be home to what was known as Lakeview Sanitarium.
And I don't like to investigate those kind of places that often because I think that they're over-investigated and I worry about the energies that are left behind there.
But that is one in the Madison area that I would love to get into and do a little research on and just see if there's anything going on there.
So
yes.
That sounds like a really cool place to investigate.
Just the title or a sanitarium or asylum, all those places.
There was one in Pestigo that they've since closed, but it was the Pestigo Asylum.
I think it was called and
It would be fun just to walk around in there, even if you weren't investigating.
I'd be so curious to see how everybody there lived.
Todd, I have two recommendations for you along these lines.
One is the host.
It's a Bong Joon Ho film.
He did Parasite.
He has the new Mickey 17 movie right now in theaters.
He made a film called The Host, and it was about hazardous waste dumped in a river in Korea that morphed into this crazy creature.
That always, that seems like, I like when I find something semi-realistic or at least that I can make the leap and think, okay, maybe this could happen.
That was
And then right now on Apple TV is the Gorge with Miles Teller and Hannah Taylor Joyer.
Yeah.
Is it good?
It's streaming good.
Yeah, it's good that you can watch in your own, that you can watch in your own.
And it would be okay in a theater too.
I like those two actors.
I like that they're looking over the gorge and it's not supposed to let anything leave the gorge.
And then they kind of explain what's under there and how it happened.
So it's kind of like a, you might see this and say these are ghosts, but they kind of explain things.
It's just interesting.
I'd love to get your take on it if you ever get a chance to check it out.
Awesome.
Buddy, thank you so much.
Thank you for your big donation in the cure to fight cancer for St.
Baldricks.
You look awesome, and you're even more fun to talk to.
Thanks so much.
stuff to learn.
He's getting there though.
Thank you, buddy.
I appreciate that.
Have a great night, guys.
Yeah, you too.
That's Todd Michaels.
Check out Minor with the Mayor every morning here on WGBW and WISS.
And check out the Sandy and Toddcast if you're into paranormal investigating.
It's really interesting.
And we'll have to see if we can find the name of that show that Todd had on Prime.
Because I did watch a couple episodes.
Long time ago when I first met Todd and it was pretty interesting.
Especially Door County.
Door County just lends itself to those stories, I think, right?
It does.
Have you ever thought your apartment might be haunted?
Okay.
Oh, wow.
Might not
It could be the last guy that had the lease before you.
Have you ever thought about that?
Maybe something happened.
I don't know.
You might want to.
They have to disclose that, don't they?
If someone died in the apartment?
Yeah.
Yes, but he could have killed many others in the apartment.
I think he'll be okay.
Craig Canett checks in on the stream.
He says, Hey, Pete, I think in the end, Gene Hackman was suffering from Alzheimer's.
So I don't know just how cognitive he was about things at the end.
That's true, Craig, but the will was done like in 2005 or something like that.
He says, I did read that his grandchildren are going to miss him dearly.
So I shouldn't, couldn't have been too much of a jerk if the grandchildren are going to miss him.
Yeah.
All right.
That's fair.
Thanks, Craig.
We're coming right back after the news.
Flix Brewhouse, the brewmaster.
Dave Hansen joins us here on Nightlight.
We're coming back.
From the 818, Bridget responds to our question of the night.
Do you think less of Gene Hackman for not leaving his children any of his $80 million inheritance even after he said he was an absentee father?
Bridget says no.
I wonder why, but maybe his children knew.
I remember thinking it was odd that none of his children called to check in.
He was alone for several days.
Sad.
Yes, indeed, Bridget.
Thank you for the text as always.
AJ, I'm sorry, I just saw this text after we let Todd go.
But he will be back on again at some point.
AJ wanted to know what was Todd's most real supernatural experience.
So that's a great question.
And next time we have Todd on, we'll try to catalog that question and have that ready for him.
Thank you for listening.
We'll get to more of your text in just a bit.
Tomorrow night on the show, Christina Laurie, the founder and editor of Up North News, will be here at 635.
And then Civic Media Sports Authority, Mike Clemens will be here on Wednesday from the TV show Bosh and Bosh Legacy.
Scott Klase will be here at 635.
followed by Madison film critic Rob Thomas.
Lots of fun coming up.
Mike Toomey will be here making the popcorn pick of the week.
Another fun week here at Nightlight.
Right now, I'm very excited to introduce a guy I feel like I've known for a long time.
I haven't really known him that long.
We've been social media friends.
But he is the brewmaster at Flix Brewhouse in Madison.
And the one charged with making a nightlight inspired beer was his idea.
So.
He brought this on himself.
He joins us now over the phone.
Mr. Dave Hansen.
Dave, how are you?
Good.
How are you doing, Pete?
Doing very well.
So are you taking a break out of making and concocting this magical brew you're making that we've inspired?
Well, right now, we're just waiting.
It's sitting in the tank.
You put the dry hops in yourself.
I did.
And so it's just me.
time to just chill, settle down, you know, let the flavors meld.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then soon and, you know, about a week, I'm going to transfer it over, you know, so it's completely off in yeast in the top particles that are left over, and it'll be transferred over, it'll be nice and nice and clean, and then bring it up to the carbonation and it'll be ready to go.
You make that sound so easy, but that you probably have to be really patient.
Like I poured the hops in, we took a couple pictures.
It was really fun last week at Flix.
How much patience goes into the beer making process?
Like it sounds like there's a lot of steps.
I don't know that people realize and I know some people make their own brews at home, but tell us a little bit more about that process from soup to nuts.
When you have an idea for a brew, how much work goes into getting it into a glass where people can drink it?
Well, it all depends on what you're going for, but it'll take a good amount of time.
It's not an instant thing because you need to figure out what you're doing.
Like for us, we made a pale ale with Wisconsin hops.
So we needed to figure out which hops we were going to go with.
So we needed the lead time to get those ordered and then make sure all the malt was on hand.
And then that can be, you know,
a week can be can be months honestly sometimes depending on the specific ingredients but and then come you know the day before brew day you got to get your water ready you know you know by that time you have to have any calculations to you know add some specific brewing salts or brewing minerals into the water make sure you have that exactly right on and
then comes the brew day where you're actually introducing the malts, you know, the wheat, you know, the oats that, and then, when it is done radio, but, you know, in multitude of those, among others, depending on the beer, and then that pops, waters at the right temperature, and then, you know, six or so hours to do the actual brew until the point where you're
Everything's been boiled everything's been separated and then you're pumping it into the fermentation tank Cooled down to the right temperature that the yeast love Added in the yeast to it and then you get to wait
It's so yeah, go ahead.
Sorry Dave
So the next day you get to see some signs of life you get to see that the yeast is working So it might be
raising the temperature a little bit, but you'll see, you know, bubbling of, you know, the vent stack, it's bubbling in water because during fermentation, the yeast is letting off CO2 while it's making the alcohol.
And sometimes it's very active and, you know, bubbling like a straw in a cup kind of thing.
It's so great.
It was fun being there and watching you work last week because you're kind of,
I don't know if this is an accurate comparison, but you kind of reminded me of like Sean Connery in The Hunt for Red October.
You're walking around all these huge tanks pulling levers and like just, I can't even like, all right, so let's get this out of the way.
The brew is going to be called Hazed on Radio, a play on words from the Journey song or just an old cliche?
It's, you know, kind of the phrase, but yeah, it's probably known most as the Journey song and album.
Okay, so Hazed on Radio, inspired by Nightlight with Peach Wabu, and you came to me with this idea, Dave, I just thought it was great, and thank you again for that, but how do you, is that your typical process as a brewmaster?
Where do you find inspiration to create a new brew, typically?
Sometimes you never know.
Yeah, just comes to
you.
With Flix, we're in a unique position that
can look forward to things that are coming up on the movie schedule and tailor it to that and sometimes it's
You know
an easy thing to figure out to kind of Have a pairing with a movie that's upcoming and coming out Sometimes it's just you know, you know a lot of people are gonna be coming through the door with this movie And you know, I better make sure I have something new and fun
That's great.
How did you end up at Flix?
Did you learn to become a brewmaster while you worked there or was this something you planned for years ago and you found a nice niche between you and Flix?
It's a matter of finding they had an availability and I had availability at the time because the brewery I was working for previously had shut its doors and so I was looking for somewhere
Flix just, you know, rose from the ashes of the pandemic and they were looking for somebody and the timing just worked out perfectly.
That's so great.
Let me ask you this, Dave, because I think I told you this last week.
I don't know a lot about what goes into making of beers, but let's say you've got Hazed on Radio, the Nightlight Beer, and then you've got something else.
How many
How many, is there a lot of nuance between beers or is it basically the same ingredients and you tweak something here and there or are they totally different sometimes?
Some are completely different.
Some are very similar.
Like, you know, most of the hazy IPAs I do, they're roughly the same.
You know, they've got, there's tweaks you can do with different kinds of malts being, whether it's from different origins or
You know, different companies producing them.
So there's some light tweaks that you do.
But if you're trying to stay inside the framework of one style, then you're kind of, you know, hindered by that style you're trying to make.
Okay.
Oh, that's interesting.
Um, like, yeah, go ahead, Dave.
So if you want to compare like making an American Pilsner, you know, to.
making a hazy IPA, it's very different.
You're looking at different temperatures, there's almost nothing other than just pilsner malt, maybe a little corn or rice if you're going for that kind of classic American blogger style versus with a hazy IPA, you're looking at oats, you're looking at wheat, you're looking at anything in between.
Is one of those that you just described, pills or IPA healthier?
Not particularly.
You know, you're going to have a beer with lighter body, like a American logger.
It's going to be lighter body, lower alcohol.
And so it's going to ultimately be fewer calories, but
It's not a health elixir by any
means.
Dave Hansen is my guest.
He's the brewmaster at Flix Brew House in Madison at Easttown Mall.
He does a great job there.
Joining us here on Nightlight.
Dave is the one who had the idea for a nightlight-inspired beer.
It'll be called Hazed on Radio.
It should be rolled out.
Are you still on schedule for the Wisconsin Film Festival, Dave?
Oh, yep.
It'll be right on.
So it'll be real...
The beer itself will be ready on the third of April.
OK, perfect.
That's exciting.
So if you go to the Wisconsin Film Festival, a lot of the films, Flix is one of the venues, and it's a great film festival.
I'll be there doing a lot of Q&As and stuff like that.
But stop into Flix, order a hazed on radio, and you can show your support for Nightlight and Flix Brewhouse all at the same time.
Dave, in terms of the brews that you've created,
What's been your favorite?
Like, what would you actually sit back and toss a couple of back?
Toss a couple back.
Do you have a favorite?
There's a lot.
You know, there's a lot that happened that our favorites for like the, you know, the month and a half, two months that they're around, and then you move on to something else.
Okay.
You know, one of the first ones I did when I got to Flix was a Czech dark lager that it was...
It was rich, but yet it was light and crisp.
So that one was definitely one of my favorites.
So when these go away, can you still, like if you like it a lot, do you save some or do you just kind of make it at home because you like the taste so much?
How does that work?
You know, I just kind of file it in the back pocket and bring it back whenever you can.
All right.
And just try and make it again.
So let me ask you this.
You've got, and you might have told me this last week, but your beer is your thing.
Like, I've got some beers I like.
I'm a connoisseur by no means.
But a guy like you, if you're in the mood for a beer, what kind of over-the-counter beer does a brewmaster, dare I say, an expert like yourself, what do you go for?
I'm a very simple beer drinker at home.
Right now in the fridge.
It's I got Miller light.
I think there's a Guinness tucked away in there still.
We've got some Negro Medello and then there's indeed brewing companies pistachio cream ale Interesting but other than that, it'll be you know Go to store out at a restaurant.
Just try something new try something I haven't had before Very nice, it's rare to drink this
Same beer twice.
It's not, you know, again, it's a Miller light really.
Okay.
Oh, that's interesting So let me ask you this you just said medello those commercials are so great It makes me want to drink a medello like that's that's how effective that advertising is.
Do you have a favorite beer commercial?
You know, honestly
not
really
I'm coming across a beer commercial it's you know it's watching football it's watching the brewers play and it's just the same commercials over and over and over so they tend to get old very quickly.
Well said.
AJ checks in on the text line.
She's in the 608.
Dave, she says, hey, Pete, I haven't been to Flix Brewhouse yet, but I would love to try it out.
You definitely should, AJ.
It's a great place to watch a movie.
She says, but I would also like to try the Thrill Factory.
Is that helping?
I've only heard about it through the Shark Tank.
Does that make sense to you, Dave?
Do you know what she's
talking about?
Yeah, it's a new, you know, big kind of arcade-y...
know all sorts of fun you know trampolines laser tag
I
think there's bowling there too but it yeah on the you know other side of the mall okay yeah it's been there only a couple months
Now, what better thing to do after you add down a 12 pack of beer than to jump on a trampoline?
That's what I say.
There you go.
Hey, buddy, this was fun.
Thank you so much for taking time out.
I know you got young kids at home, and I appreciate you taking the time out.
And thank you again for approaching us with this beer.
I can't wait to taste it.
Absolutely.
It's already starting to come into flavor.
I tasted it today.
Oh, really?
All right.
It's going to just get better and better.
My mouth is officially watering.
Thank you, sir.
We will talk soon.
All right, sounds good.
All right, Dave Hansen.
Check out Flix Brew House in East Town Mall in Madison just to grab scene two movies there when I've been in Madison and it's just a great theater.
You get some good food, some good beer and look for Hazed On Radio Nightlight inspired IPA that is coming out and will be ready by April 3rd for the Wisconsin Film Festival.
When we come back, we're gonna read your texts and shut this thing down.
Please be here to help.
It's Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media Radio Network.
from Wisconsin Rapids.
He's in the 608 says, pour me a Blatz.
I don't even know, like is Blatz considered, it used to be cheap.
I know that.
And I know it's brewed in Wisconsin.
I don't even know if they still make it.
But I always assumed, since it was a beer we drank in college, that it was not one of your upper echelon brews.
How was
lie.
When I was younger, I couldn't even tell what beer I liked or didn't like.
Like, I just couldn't, I didn't have the palate or the tongue or the taste buds, whatever, to really understand nuance.
I just wasn't crazy about the taste back then.
What is that short for?
Oh, I've heard of that.
That's like the cheapest beer you can buy, right?
name.
I remember Jay Cutler used to drink Coors light.
Yeah, that's supposed to be like close to water, I guess.
the joke about it.
Kerry from Tosa says, not too surprising about Gene H. not leaving his money to kids since his wife was so much younger.
Makes sense to leave it all to her if he was distant from his kids.
His kids probably knew his will was that way and likely didn't put forth much effort because of it.
Sounds perfectly dysfunctional, like most families famous or not.
Doesn't sound like Kerry's leaving her kids anything.
I'm making an assumption, Kerry.
Thank you for the text.
That's great.
Steady Eddie chiming in.
He's got shamrocks all over the place.
He says, top of the evening to you, Leprechaun Schwabba and your lovable producer, Mr. O'Conrad.
I
I'm celebrating St.
Patty's Day with a big bowl of Irish fried rice.
It's a lot like regular fried rice, but sprinkled with three leaf shamrocks.
What?
Sounds tasty, steady, steady.
He says, I'm a little disappointed to hear that Gene Hackman did not include his kids in his will.
For now, I will reserve judgment on Mr. Hackman's likability and character.
He was nevertheless a great actor.
That is certainly true.
uh steady eddy continues the universe is a big place the number of estimated galaxies is between 200 billion and two trillion
with billions of stars in each galaxy.
I believe it is more likely intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe.
I think we might find primitive life in our own solar system.
Maybe Mars.
But to me, the probability that Earth has been visited by space aliens is remote.
Though I keep an open mind, as Carl Sagan said, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Yes, I agree, Steady Eddie.
He says in these crazy times, the bigger question for me is, will intelligent life ever be found on the planet we call Earth?
Steady Eddie, Steady O Eddie, Shamrock, Sunglass Emoji.
Very well done, Steady Eddie.
And a great question.
And that's kind of where I'm at.
I do believe there's life out there in that kind of expanse.
But how would they get here?
The 262.
This is like an obscene.
The 262 from listening on WAUK says, this is how blatant, no, this is how Blatz is brewed.
And he's just got a cartoon of what looks like an alien peeing or Yoda.
But the thing, the question is, 262, does it get you where you wanna go?
Does it get you drunk?
Because as Krusty the Clown says, open your yaps, boyos.
Tomorrow night, Kristina Laurie, the founder and editor of Up North News, such a great publication.
I love reading Kristina's work.
She'll be here tomorrow night at 6.35.
And then Civic Media Sports Authority, Mike Clemens joins us in the second hour.
Do we have time to play our...
all right fast lead and Conan O'Brien is gonna host the Oscars again He's coming back for another year and he said it was because he needs to see the end of Adrian Brody's speech Which we've had a lot of fun with here at night light and here is Adrian Brody's phone call with me that we debuted last week
Hello, yeah
Is this Pete Schwabba?
Yeah, who's calling?
It's Adrian Brody Chief.
They're gonna talk about me about my acceptance speech.
How did you get this number?
I could get to anyone.
You see how broad my shoulders are.
Yeah, but what's that got to do with it?
Yeah, I know you think you're hot with your little radio show, but people love my speech.
I'm sure they did.
I'm surprised you're not still giving it, to be honest.
Yeah, I want an apology, and I want it right now.
Dude, I don't know what you're hoping to accomplish here, but most people thought your speech sucked.
It was meandering, it went on forever.
I'm sorry, but it was almost as long as the brutalists for God's sakes.
Aw, yeah, I know a lot of people didn't like my speech.
You think I don't know that?
You know how many phone calls I still have to make?
Yeah, no one understands
me.
Uh, um...
Yeah, hey Adrienne come on man relax.
It's it's cool.
Look you got two Oscars Why would you care what anyone thinks about your speech or feel the need to talk for that amount of time and not really say anything come on?
Oh, you know what here?
I am opening up to you and you take another shot at me.
You've seen my shoulders.
Yeah, but
have you seen?
My shoulders.
Yeah, man.
I saw a lot more of you than that in The Brutalist, which was totally unnecessary, by the way.
Look, dude, I- Yeah, look, it's cool, Schwab.
You know, I'll do anything for a role, but yeah, people love my shoulders.
Hang on a second.
R.B.
Weinstein's calling from prison and make sure I'm treating his ex-wife well.
You believe that guy?
Yeah.
Hey, no hard feelings, chief dick.
He does have broad shoulders.
You can argue with that.
And he wants you to know that.
It's weird that a movie star a two-time Oscar winner would be that insecure But whatever he found me a lot of calls to make
times four times.
I'm glad you were counting all right Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for being here tomorrow night is a Tuesday edition of nightlight typically
One of the best episodes of the week, so you can't miss it.

A fun question.
More chances for you guys to chime in on text.
Love reading your texts.

And thank you for all your texts and calls.
