The Best Sporting Event(Hour 1)
Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach · Wed Mar 19, 2025
and gentlemen.
Hello, Wisconsin.
Did you guys enjoy spring?
All it was here?
It was here for a little while.
Conrad, how you doing?
I know you get extra bummed out by the weather.
Yeah, it sucks.
I have to check with you first because your mood seems to be affected, as does mine by the weather.
I'm not happy.
I like being at the studio to do the show.
I just feel more like with it.
But man, is it crappy out.
What did you do to tick off mother nature?
That's all I want to know
I don't think so.
you thought Oh, it's awful.
I mean, it's just like and then you know Here's what typically happens like I'll do something or I'll change my plans and then the weather isn't really that bad and I'm like, oh, okay I could have traveled or gone somewhere or whatever
But today, no, I decided early on, I'm not driving to Green Bay and sure enough, it got really bad.
So what are you looking at there?
Give me your window weather forecast.
But now it's
Well, I'm hoping this show cheers me up as much tonight as we hopefully will cheer other people up given the weather and Whatever happened during their day.
It's great to have you with me here at nightlight with Beach Waba Wherever you're joining us from in Wisconsin.
Hope you had a good day despite the weather I sometimes you know It's just best to stay inside and accept the powers that you know What what is thrown at us in terms of weather or circumstance?
So let's talk about movies tonight.
I have two great guests you guys are gonna love
from the show Bosch Legacy.
And he's also been on the show Bosch.
He has been on the show for the entire run.
I want to say it was seven seasons of Bosch with Titus Welliver.
And now the third season of Bosch Legacy is about to drop on Freevy, March 27th.
So that's just a week away.
Actor Scott Klase will join me at 635.
He is such a great run.
He plays Mank, the watch commander.
of the Hollywood station on Bosch, and it's just a great cop show.
It's one of my favorite all-time cop shows.
If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend it.
I've seen, I've gone through the whole series twice, once initially, and then I got sick about five years ago, and I watched almost all of it again.
So a really, really good, a really solid show.
Scott is a great part of it.
He'll join us at 635, and then our pal and Madison Film Critic and city cast newsletter editor,
You know his name right Conrad.
I think he's been on the show a couple times before he's been on the show a few times He's one of our good pals Rob Thomas comes by at 720.
We're gonna talk about Some new films Rob has seen and what we should be watching and we'll maybe dip our toe in TV was constant film festival waters They have some cool films that will be shown there Coming up it starts in just about a couple weeks.
So Rob will he did an overview of the festival in city cast Madison
So I'll ask him about that tonight at seven twenty as well.
In the meantime, I have to say this is an exciting week and it feels like spring right now.
And I know people probably aren't thrilled with the snow because even people who like snow and like the outdoors, you can't really go snowmobiling in crappy weather.
That's not going to be here.
That like the snow was not going to last that long.
You can't ice fish.
So it's just a bad deal for outdoor guys and girls and inside people like myself.
Yes, I'm a self-professed couch potato not to say I don't exercise, but I'm an inside guy So what?
Let's celebrate that tonight on nightlight.
We got some good conversations some good interviews and some good clips and We're gonna talk right now a little bit about a big game happening tomorrow Conrad.
How do you like the Badgers chances?
against Montana.
yeah,
Is that who you picked I still have two brackets I have to fill out I filled out one last night
Well, this is you know, what are we doing here?
You can tell us this is radio if it's a crazy amount I can tease you about it And if I don't think it's a crazy amount I can tease you about that too.
How many
trying to be that one
is incredible.
Yeah, now here's what you got to tell me to now
Tell me that you filled out all of them are the exact same like buying the same lottery ticket.
Is that right?
Wow.
That is incredible.
correct, to be honest.
For being an absolute loser.
Yeah, you should get some money for that.
I agree.
But the Badgers play tomorrow.
I think it's at noon, if I'm not mistaken.
12 30.
12 30.
Okay.
So it's good.
We'll get to watch it.
I'll get to watch it while I'm prepping the show.
Hopefully the roads will be plowed by then and I can be in green by tomorrow night.
But either way, it'll be good to watch the Badgers and it gets me thinking every year at this time, folks.
How great the NC, what can I say and what can't I say?
I can say the big dance.
The big tournament.
We just can't use the words mm, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
So if I were to go out marching in the madness of this storm, no, I think folks that I think this is the greatest sporting event that we have of the year.
Hands down.
and I'm gonna tell you why after we introduce our question of the night.
Let's talk about the question.
Okay, question.
Question.
Question.
Questions.
What?
Very important, folks.
What is the best sporting event of the year?
The best...
sporting event.
And I'm saying that as we enter the NCAA tournament, which kind of technically has already started.
There's still, there's another play in game tonight, right?
but like two 11 seeds or something.
Yup.
Okay.
So technically the tournament has started, but to me.
This is the best sporting event.
Hands down.
The Super Bowl can be great.
It isn't always.
Sometimes it's a blowout.
Sometimes it's just not that exciting.
More often than not, I would say it's fun to watch.
It's exciting.
But it's one game.
If it's a clunker, it's a big let down.
The World Series can be a sweep.
You might...
Somebody might win four to one four to nothing maybe you get a game seven that goes into extra innings or whatever Maybe for that year the world series is better same thing with the NBA finals or the NHL The Masters I guess can be exciting not personally to me That's not my thing, but I get why people like it and why it can be so exciting and come down to a putt The Indy 500 maybe but the NCAA tournament To me is easily the best sporting event
There is.
With all those games, you are certain to have upsets, heartbreak, amazing moments on the court.
It just is unparalleled.
To me, it is the greatest event in sports.
I wouldn't even say basketball is my favorite sport to watch, but you cannot be.
These are kids, basically, who are becoming adults.
And it doesn't matter women, men, whatever.
Both tournaments, you have the same elements, and that is why the NCAA tournament is the greatest sporting event that we have.
Fight me on it if you want.
I'd love to hear what your reactions are, 855-752-4842-855-756.
What is the best sporting event?
That's tonight's question.
Hey, man, what do you say?
brings
I always have a big pool with my friends.
So it's always fun to fill out and just kind of see what they think and stuff like that.
But some of my best memories are in high school.
The teacher's like, all right, today we're going to do a lesson, but on the on the smart board over there, it's going to be it's going to be a game
because they were really into the tournament.
room for lunch.
Are they?
Okay, great.
And, you know, you just reminded me, I was going purely from a sporting event aspect, but the community and the camaraderie you have with your friends, I remember going out after NC State beat Houston, you mongous upset in 1983.
Me and my buddy Tony went out and shop baskets for two hours.
It was just a gorgeous spring night.
And it was like one of my favorite memories.
Then in college, you sit around and you watch the tournament for four straight days in week one.
And then you keep watching.
When I was on the road with the other comics, I'd watch it.
Now I watch it with my son and my daughter.
It's just a great gathering event too.
So that's a great point you just made.
And some of the memories you have just watching this tournament.
To me, by far and away, the best event in sports.
But completely open to other opinions.
What actually welcomed them?
So tell me what your favorite sporting event is.
What is the best sporting event or your favorite?
855-75-248-42.
You can text us on the app.
It's very easy to use.
Just go to any one of the stations on Civic Media and click the text icon Conrad.
How can people reach us on the stream?
Love it.
And if you're there, if you're at one of these platforms or Facebook watching, give us a like or a follow.
We'd love to get those.
Always nice to feel appreciated.
And give us your texts, folks.
You guys are as much a part of the show.
as anybody because it's so fun reading your texts.
We've had a lot of fun.
And this is not a food related question, Conrad.
We're putting ourselves out there tonight.
But I think the people will speak if they're not already watching the amazing NCAA tournament.
Scott Klase from the show Bosh Legacy is here in just a few minutes.
Rob Thomas in the second hour.
When we come back, we'll read your texts.
And a very funny clip that involves, I can't believe I'm doing this.
I found a clip that involves Gary Oldman and farting.
and we're going to play that next.
This is Pete Schwabba in Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
question tonight is what is the best sporting event?
I say the NCAA tournament hands down Conrad says the NCAA tournament hands down.
We both like it because
of what it does for sports, the actual sport and the games are amazing.
But as he pointed out earlier, just bringing groups of people together to watch the tournament, it's such a great event.
It's like, it's like a constant Super Bowl party.
And you know what?
I'll say this, it's that first weekend that's the best.
You've got 32 games over the first two days.
And there's always, there was a year like maybe last year or the year before where there were not as many upsets and I was kind of bummed.
It seemed like kind of a downer, but it still wasn't.
It was still amazing.
So even in an off year, the tournament is great, but it's an absolute blast.
So that's our question tonight.
What is your favorite or the best sporting event?
855-752-4842, 855-755 Civic.
Corey from Watertown says the rolling.
of the wheel of cheese is the best sporting event.
I'm not sure what to do with that.
You know what he's talking about, Conrad?
I don't know.
Corey, we need some help with that one, buddy.
The rolling of the wheel of cheese.
I don't know if it's a metaphor or if that's actually some kind of sport that exists like cock fighting that's like under the table or something that I don't know about.
So let us know, Corey, what you're referring to there.
Brian from Green Bay says, Olympic luge and skeleton.
The Olympic luge.
All right, that's interesting.
I will say like, I like all of those, you know, Olympic events.
Watching the gymnasts is incredible.
Some of the things they can do are more impressive than a guy catching a pass or even hitting a baseball.
I cannot believe what they do with their bodies.
And I have the ultimate appreciation for that.
However, I kind of watch it for a few minutes and I'm like, they can all do it.
This guy's doing it just a shred of a hair better than that guy or that girl.
So they get a little bit better score.
It's a competition, but not necessarily head to head.
So I totally appreciate what you're saying, Brian.
I like all those sports.
And you could argue the Olympics too, maybe outshine the NCAA tournament.
The Olympics are once every four years, but that's a good argument.
Monica from Mount Horrib says, the Luca Libre Mexican wrestling, very entertaining.
You've ever watched that kind of?
Not Joe
Luca.
Look, there are no right or wrong answers here.
It's whatever you like.
So I actually love these answers.
The luge.
I like the two man luge.
You think that gets a little awkward sometimes?
The two man?
Playing on another dude.
right though.
Probably.
Uh, Brian says, I sold beer at the Kentucky Derby a couple of years.
One time I was close enough to close enough to have mud kicked on me by the horses.
That was amazing.
You know, I've heard that from a lot of people that the Kentucky Derby, I've never been there, but it's like, what do they call it?
The most exciting two minutes in sports or something like that.
And for two minutes or however long it lasts, you know you were going to get a bonafide font of edge because it always comes down to the wire, but it's so fast.
That's why I would argue maybe it doesn't compare to the tournament, but phenomenal because I've heard a lot of friends that go every year.
They absolutely love it.
More for the atmosphere too, but the horse race is definitely very exciting.
Steve from Florida says the best sporting event is if anyone of our Wisconsin college teams are in the finals.
The Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl, Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series, and the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals.
No question about that, Steve.
When your team makes it somewhere, it's great.
Although I need more from the Badgers, they got so close in 2015.
Hopefully that's not as close as they ever get.
Yes, I would enjoy that more than I would the tournament as a whole.
However, thinking without bias here of my teams, I'm the event as a whole as it stands.
Sounds like your dad's kind of agreeing with me though.
Conrad.
they're gonna frighten you how much your dad and I agree I Don't I don't know not frightened.
Maybe
Do you would it be weird if he and I started palling around?
I mean you know the guy you guys would just stand out with your
That's right.
Jim from Appleton says, the NCAA, both men's and women's are the best.
The only sporting event that comes close is the World Cup.
Yeah, okay.
Men's and women's, lots of intrigue, plenty of upsets, so much drama.
Yeah, he makes a good argument there.
World Cup's a pretty big deal.
Again, I don't, it doesn't have the franticness of the tournament.
The one and done, all these games, you know,
I don't know.
Ed from Madison says, I agree with you, but in second place anytime, there is a game seven in MLB, NBA, or NHL.
Yes, Ed, no question about that.
A game seven.
I will watch a game seven in any, you know, I don't really follow hockey ever.
NHL, Stanley Cup Playoffs, game seven.
I'm watching that.
Love a game seven.
Great text, folks, keep it coming.
What is your favorite sporting event?
And we've had some great answers so far.
Let's play this Conrad.
I found this clip last night.
This is Gary Oldman who's in the show Slow Horses.
He plays a despicable bureau chief who runs the Slow Horses.
They're kind of like MI5 outcasts and he's a slob and his character farts all the time.
Very funny.
And here is Stephen Colbert interviewing Gary Oldman and asking him about that.
Do you think any of your previous characters, any of those performances could have been improved?
bypassing gas, because I've had to hear an example.
We took some of our favorite performances of yours and added that undefinable Jackson Lam quality.
Here we go.
And I bid you welcome, Mr. Hardcore, to my
house.
The Goldman can't stop laughing.
I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry.
Any regrets?
I'm holding out this long.
Before adding that je ne sais quoi to certain characters.
is
worth it Google folks Gary Oldman cannot he's crying he's laughing so hard great bit by Colbert
All right, we are coming right back with actor Scott Klase, one of the stars of Bosch Legacy.
Rob Thomas joins us later in the show.
We'll be right back with Night Light with Beach Wabba.
So
in response to our question tonight, what is the best sporting event?
There is Conrad and I both say the NCAA tournament.
Ed in Madison says, I agree with you.
But in second place, oh, I already read that.
I'm sorry.
Hey, where's Tony's comment?
I want to make sure I don't leave Tony out.
Yeah,
I said that to you.
Oh, you did.
OK, got it.
OK.
Tony Zimmerman says on the stream the NCAA tournament is so good.
It ruined the regular season He also says I really like the MLB playoffs the series format builds the intensity no question about that Tony and that's a great point, you know, I Still think it's worth it.
I still think the tournament even if the regular season Isn't as exciting I still think the tournament is the best but great comments keep in common folks.
We love to read your texts on the radio
Rob Thomas, Madison Film Critic, is coming up in the second hour to give us a preview of the Wisconsin Film Festival and talk about some new films he's seeing and reviewing.
Always fun to talk to our pal Rob.
And right now, I'm very excited to welcome my next guest.
He is an actor on Bosch Legacy.
And before that, on the entire run of the show, Bosch, he's got over 100 credits, and he's an excellent actor.
And he joins us now over the stream on Nightlight.
Scott Klase.
Scott, how are you, buddy?
My friend, how are you?
I'm just sitting here looking at my brackets, my friend.
I was going to start with that with you.
I wanted to ask you this question.
Yes.
And I have a feeling I know what you're going to say.
I know you're a big Ohio State fan.
Indeed.
Is this your favorite sporting event of the year, the tournament?
It absolutely is.
It absolutely is.
Everybody does brackets.
I probably do four of them through.
of various companies or whatever.
But a friend of mine, do I have a second to tell you this?
Absolutely.
A friend of mine started a pool, I don't know, probably 10 years ago.
I've only been in it for about seven.
And what you do is you pick 10 teams.
Of the 64, you pick 10.
And each time one of those teams that you picked wins, you receive the number of points they are seeded.
which
I think is a fantastic format.
And just to make sure people just don't pick long shots.
If your team makes it to the finals, you get 10 points.
If they win the whole thing, you get 20.
And it is just the, you have to pick some 13 seeds and some.
And because if you just pick all ones, they could win every game and you'd only have a total of like 16 points.
You know what I mean?
And the winner usually, go ahead.
No, I was going to say it forces you to take some underdogs or pick some upsets.
for sure, for sure.
I mean, you have to do more than one entry because you're a lot of times you're out of it by Thursday evening of the opening weekend, you know, because you can only pick so many 10, 11, 12, you know, but lately it's like so many
Upsets every year that it's it's wild.
It's a lot of fun though.
I really look forward
to it.
It's funny.
We were just talking about this, Scott.
Like I like the first weekend, even though, you know, ones are playing 16s, threes are playing 14s.
It's the upset and the it's the amount of games.
It's just
a
frenzy of hoops.
And it's so amazing.
I got four DVRs going, you know, I'm trying to record every game.
And I cut out little pieces of cardboard, and I put it across wherever the station I'm on has that crawl that tells you all the scores.
So I blocked that so I can't even see it so I can go back and watch the game and not know who won.
That's how crazy I am.
That's monotonous.
I love it.
I did.
What is that called, Scott?
system you just told us about where you get points.
Does that have a name or where could we
find one?
You know, a friend of mine's brother started it years ago.
Oh, OK.
And he is, I mean, he's got Excel sheets.
I mean, when he sends you everybody's entry, because after the opening day or whatever the game starts, he sends you a list of all the entries of the people and the teams they took.
And we're talking about easily three, four, five hundred entries.
and it's $25 per entry.
That's probably, I hope I'm not going to mention any names, but the guy is just an Excel, Microsoft whiz, and it's just so much fun.
I mean, it is, it truly is a lot of
fun.
That's so great.
You, when we hung out a lot when we were younger or when we had kids in school, I saw some really cool pictures of you.
You played college basketball, Scott.
I did.
That's weird when you see like I only knew you at that point as an actor.
And I was obviously we were friends, but I was a huge fan.
And I saw you in this picture and you had this huge mop of hair.
My hair.
You know, the
shorts.
I had a bale of hay on my head.
Literally, if I went underwater at a swimming pool and I would come back up, the water would just roll off the top layer.
It wouldn't even get wet.
I mean, it was ridiculous.
But I played in high school in Columbus at, you know, one of the bigger schools.
And then, I mean, I was okay.
I went to a smaller Division III school, but I was one of two freshmen on the varsity, my freshman, I'm sorry, one of two freshmen on the varsity, yeah, my first year.
But believe it or not, I had started acting a little bit in high school.
And there came a point in my sophomore year when I got the lead in the play and the coach called me into his office and he's like, dude, you can't do this play.
You know, you're going to miss, you know, it wasn't during the season, but, you know, college sports, I've learned they just run all year long, you know, they're always been conditioning.
They're always having meetings.
They're always doing all kinds of stuff.
And I kind of thought to myself, you know, I'm never ever.
going to make any money playing basketball.
I maybe have a shot at this other thing.
And so that's kind of what made the decision for me.
Well, you made the right choice.
Let me put this way.
When you played, could you dunk?
I was very close a couple of times.
I really was.
I was 5'10".
And I could get my whole hand over, but I just couldn't get it.
No, to answer your question, no, that's a long-winded way of saying that.
The
problem is you can't palm the ball.
I was like an even six feet.
And if I had the right sweat amount and I had like a volleyball, I could get it down.
I could
dunk.
You can't do that in a game and say, throw me that volleyball real quick.
I'm going to throw this thing down.
And I was second string anyway, but it's funny you say that because I had
I was into theater two in high school and my basketball coach, even though I was like second string, he knew how much I liked it.
And he said, how come you weren't at the open gym last night?
I said, well, I had rehearsal for Windsor players.
You know, when he goes, well, that's not making you any better at basketball.
Like as a 16 year old.
Yeah, I didn't even know how to take that.
I'm like, are you telling me not to do that?
You know,
it's
crazy.
So how did you make the jump, Scott, from, you know, you're acting in college, you're playing hoops in college.
when did you start acting?
You must have started right around that point, I'm guessing.
Well, I started, it's really weird.
I hate to tell long stories, but you know what?
Let's just do it and you can come out.
Oh, go for it, man.
The high school I went to, my freshman year, it was a brand new high school.
We had one high school in my town and it had grown so large that they had to open up another one.
And my freshman year,
because it was a new high school, they didn't want to break up that year senior class.
And so all the seniors were still at the old high school.
So we just had freshmen, sophomores and juniors in my high school.
And a friend of mine who was a wrestler was doing a play.
I'd never seen a play.
And I went to watch him.
It was that, you know, that high school staple, the diary of Anne Frank.
And I was watching him up there.
And I thought it was just like the coolest thing I had ever seen.
Wow.
So I signed up for an acting class and I was doing a scene, I'll never forget it.
I was doing a scene from this old play called The Rainmaker, which is an old Bert Reynolds movie about this con man who goes to these desert towns and swears he can make it rain.
And I was doing the scene, I was really nervous.
And I was like one fifth of the way through it.
And the teacher said, let's just stop for a second.
And I thought, oh, God, this is not good.
And he said, Scott, I need to talk to you out in the hall.
And I was like, oh my God, this is really bad.
And he took me out to the hall and said, listen, you and I are going to walk down to the registrar's office right now and you're going to sign up for acting one.
Wow.
I know this is a true story.
I swear to God.
And I was really kind of blown away by that.
And that's how I started doing plays in high school.
I thought like all high schools were like mine.
And when I went to college and started nosing around the theater department, that's when I saw that it was a lot of, you know, alternative kind of kids.
I mean, I was doing plays.
We were all jocks for God's sakes.
They were, I mean, in my high school.
And I was just kind of blown away by that, but I really kind of liked it.
And so I started in college.
And then when the day I graduated, I drove to New York City like an idiot.
I didn't know anybody.
I had no, not my college was not one of those that prepare you for stuff like that at the time.
You know, you hear about colleges.
Now they send their kids to New York, LA for six months, you know, in an agent's office, you know, working on a sounds, whatever.
I had none of that.
And I lasted about three years, never had one audition.
And I finally went back to Ohio with my tail between my legs and.
A childhood friend's father knew of this new theater that was opening up that was with some really good people.
And that turned out to be, you know, great for me.
It was this little tiny theater in the basement of the church.
And it was so hot in the summer that they handed out these little fans that you like a postcard with a, you know, paint thinner or a paint stirrer stick.
Yeah.
And on it, it said, I'll never forget it.
It said, live theater.
it won't kill you.
And I thought that was kind of a cool thing.
And that little theater, you know, at that time ended up becoming like 10 years later, this $3 million a year budget, huge space downtown Columbus, it's still there.
And I was like there on the ground floor and just met a bunch of great people.
And that's where I was when I finally moved out here.
That's so cool.
Is that still there?
Like, is it?
Do you ever go back and do shows like?
I
did.
Yeah, the first like, like 10 years, I've been here about 10 or 15 years and they asked me to come back because it was an anniversary of theirs.
But in the years since then, it has gotten new artistic directors and I don't know anybody there anymore.
My pictures are still up in some of the production stills on the walls, but no, I haven't in a long time.
I want to ask you, before we get into Bosch Legacy, Scott, since we're up against a break here in a couple minutes, so I'll just wait until after the break before we dig in there.
But you, I want to make you feel really good about living in LA today because it looked like summer was on the way here or spring and we get dumped on with snow today and sleet is so ugly outside.
Is it really?
Yeah.
So, you know, you're in a good, you made the right decision is what I'm saying, at least to avoid this one day.
Um, but I want to ask you since we're in Wisconsin, most of our listeners are in Wisconsin.
Um, do you, you were in the onion movie years ago and I somehow that slipped past me last time you were on or I didn't
know.
Yeah, I was
started here.
What was that like?
I was really hoping it was going to be something.
Um, I think unfortunately the guys who were directing it and they couldn't have been nicer.
They were great guys.
They were actually pretty big.
names in commercials are directing like a lot of guys get their start, you know, right?
And I had done a couple of commercials for them.
But for whatever reason, when this movie was supposedly completed, they didn't have an I don't think it was long enough.
I think it was like, you know, 68 minutes or something or I don't know how that happened.
It was one of the very first things I did movie wise down here.
I mean, I had some really funny stuff in it.
Everybody that was in it was great.
I mean, we had some really nice big names in it, but it did come out, but I think it was kind of straight to video and didn't really make much of a, you know, a dent.
Yeah,
that's crazy because my buddy Lance Barber was in a movie that those guys had done and I couldn't wait to see it because I love the onion and
I saw the film, and I was like, God, as funny as they were on paper, or at least with their publication, I just didn't think it translated the
film
for some reason, which was too bad.
And I don't even know if it's the same guys.
There are so many people who claim to have created the onion.
Who knows?
Well, they
had a TV show for a while.
I don't know whatever became of that.
Okay, I think we're about ready.
Yeah, I remember that show.
That was a good yet.
Don't don't worry ignore Conrad.
I will take care of this Scott.
I am just so glad you are here, buddy.
You talk as long as you want to Scott places here.
He's from the show Bosch legacy and he's got a ton of other credits.
We'll talk about the new season of Bosch legacy which drops March 27 with Scott when we come back.
It's peach wabba and nightlight on the civic media radio
network.
Jack Romero-Max says, my favorite athletic event of all time was watching the US Olympic four by 100 medley relay team swim to gold in the Atlantic Olympics.
It was before the bombing, so there was virtually no security.
I was down on the pool deck and had just talked to a couple of the swimmers.
It was the thrill.
I'll never forget wow I've heard a lax security, but that's Maybe jack were you wearing a speedo and they just didn't know maybe they just let you down there Jack always wears a speedo.
I remember that I was working I was doing stand-up in Myrtle Beach in 96 and my wife and I were just going back to the place They put us up and I heard someone yell on the street a bomb went off at the Olympics
One of those times you remember exactly where you are in history.
A.J.
from the 608, he says, hey, Pete and Conrad, I love Badger Women's Volleyball.
I also love watching the Packers and Badger Football, but the volleyball is super exciting to me.
No argument there, A.J., they have a great team too.
So keep those texts coming, folks.
Rob Thomas is here at 720 to talk about movies and a little bit about the Wisconsin Film Festival.
i'll be hosting a really q&a down really cool q&a down there this year uh that we'll talk about as well right now my guest is my pal scott clays he is one of the cast members of uh bosh legacy and before that bosh uh scott season three drops march 27th i i can't believe how much i've enjoyed this show um oh man it was one of those things like when i saw that you were on it i was like oh my god scott's on it and then later jamie mcshane our friend
Right.
Right.
I'm like, this is such a great show and it's got a
couple of my
pals
in
it.
And it's just, I absolutely love it.
Tell us about season three if you can.
Yeah.
What can I tell you about season three?
You know, it's one of, Bosch legacy for me was kind of a surprise.
Like, initially, you know, if people remember when Bosch, the mothership ended,
Harry basically quit the LAPD turned in his badge.
Right.
And they had told me, Michael Conner here told me that they were going to be doing kind of a spin off of it.
And I did not think I was going to be involved because they weren't going to be in the precinct.
And I was pretty much only in the precinct.
And the first season, I think I maybe did too.
And those both felt like.
Uh, almost like gifts from them to me.
Cause I didn't have a lot to do.
It was like walking out to my car and one of them.
Uh, but it was just kind of a nice thing for them to do for me.
But then all of a sudden that season two of wash legacy, I was in like every one of them.
And I was just so shocked and, and grateful.
Um, it used to sound terrible, but we shot season three so long ago.
I don't, I mean, I, I kind of remember what it's about, but.
You know, my stuff is pretty, pretty limited to Maddie, you know, his daughter and a little bit with Titus.
Correct.
And that's how I was able to kind of still be a part of the show was they're still on the LAPD.
I know I can tell you that it's really good.
And I know Harry gets into a little bit of trouble.
And but, you know,
That's Harry Bosch for you, you know, he's hot water of some kind
and that's why it's kind of It's it's been such a good show.
I like that.
He's kind of an antihero in a way But did you say before you were talking with Michael Connelly the author of the books?
Is he that involved in the TV show?
Oh, yeah, yeah Michael was very involved and I'm not sure if he has been but as
Involved as much in Bosch legacy as he was in the original but he's still very involved like I see him on set and He's very good about coming and and say you know talking to the actors.
He's just he's a really great guy, man I tell you he's I really think the world to him That's one of the the hard thing, you know, and of course, this is our last season I don't know if you've heard that yeah Bosch legacy which we didn't know and it wasn't
I don't want to cause any controversies because there's been enough of that around here.
There's a whole petition started.
I think that's up to like 30 or 40,000 signatures now.
You know, the producers have kind of echoed or voiced their sentiment.
Titus has said, you know, he was shocked and we didn't know.
So I know it's very, the thing is it's very popular.
It's the numbers are not the problem.
I think the problem
As you probably know as well as anybody has to do with like demographics, you know, what's our what's our audience?
Is it young enough?
You know, everybody's got to be young.
So right Well, you're
like what late
30s now or yeah, almost 40.
Yeah You
play Scott places my guest he's one of the regulars on Bosch and Bosch legacy.
I love your role Scott you play Mink
the watch commander.
Watch commander is the coolest sounding vocation I've ever heard.
And I loved it in LA Confidential when Ed
actually used the watch
commander.
And you're at that same desk basically at Hollywood Station playing the watch commander.
I mean, this has to be a dream role come true.
It
really, at first I didn't even know what a watch commander was.
I thought a watch commander was like that guy.
You see an NYPD blue that's like at the front desk when people walk into the station and say, what do you get out of here?
You know, that kind of a thing.
I asked the producers at the time when we first started, if I could possibly go over to Hollywood Station and hang out with the watch commanders and they allowed it was one of the first times they allowed something like that.
And so I spent a couple of days over there and I was.
Totally surprised.
They're in charge of the detectives.
They're in charge of the patrol.
And the thing that is so great about Bosch and Bosch legacy is Hollywood Station is an exact replica of Hollywood Station.
And I mean exact.
That's amazing.
I was in there once and I think we talked about this last time and you said that I couldn't believe it I thought it was the actual I was going from memory But hey, can we keep you for a few more minutes Scott?
Of course of course fantastic actor Scott places here We'll have more with Scott and maybe a surprise clip if we can find it for him
after the news
You got peach wabba and nightlight hanging out with Scott place here on the civic media radio
network
It's happened to me and I'm telling you It's too late to turn back now
