Happy Birthday, Pete (Hour 1)

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.

This is Night Light with Pete Schwabba.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

Let's do it.

It's Friday night.

Friday night edition of Light Night.

Light.

Light Night, I'm off to a good start.

Night Light!

I am so drunk, I have to be honest.

You celebrated in the wiggle room today?

I did.

I threw a few back.

No, I didn't.

I have a... You know what?

That's kind of sad.

I can't even be drunk on the air if I wanted to be because I have an hour-long commute.

There's always a hotel room.

How's that for perspective?

Great to have you with me.

It is Friday night and this is Night Light with Peach Waba.

I am Peach Waba.

And we are broadcasting live statewide.

And wherever you are joining us from, it is a pleasure to have you here, folks.

We've got a lot of fun plans tonight.

We're all about music tonight.

We're going to read some texts.

We have a great question.

Writing shotgun, as always, is the lovable producer, Conrad.

Hello.

I just want to say happy birthday.

And I wanted it to be extra special for you this year.

Really?

So earlier in the week, you know how new stations, they can put your name.

in their broadcast for, you know, for birthdays.

Okay.

Well, I did that.

But the only thing is, for have it to be $0, it had to be a 2 AM.

So I set the DVR

for $0.

I mean, you don't want to pay.

Yeah.

Nothing says love like a freebie.

Okay.

So, well, I did get the audio from it.

Really?

So we can play that now.

Yeah, let's hear it.

I'm curious.

WBLO, false news at 2.

We bring you the scoop.

Oh, is this thing out?

Good morning, I am John Johnson with your WBLO false news at 2AM.

Today we open up with a story from the entertainment world.

Adrian Brody called local radio host about his long Oscar speech.

Adrian was not happy.

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.

Maybe you should've kept it under five minutes,

Brody.

Now let's look at birthdays with Benson Bensonson.

Thanks, John Johnson.

Let's look at the birthdays today.

Happy 12th birthday to Veronica from mom, dad, gram, gram, and gram, gram.

They are now Wow

How about a talented bunch of barking dogs?

Let's throw it to Paul Paulson with a traffic

update.

Well, there's not much traffic because it's 2 a.m.

And then, boy, if you don't go far in sports with that voice, Conrad, I don't know what happened.

That's beautiful.

Thank you, buddy.

That was very sweet.

Thank you.

How funny is it that I pitched yesterday, I told you my new idea, what we're gonna do is the INN network, the Inappropriate News Network, and you're probably in the back of your head like, oh, that's interesting.

Something that's interesting on those lines.

Oh, I mean that the DVR was set.

I had to tune into them They're my favorite.

They're my favorite local news

station crazy that all those names ended up like that.

Yeah, you know, Georgia, Georgia sin George George's Benson

none of them sound contrived either That's what was so great about it.

But no seriously.

Thank you.

When is your birthday again?

I know we do June 10th June 10th.

It is a birthday show.

It is my birthday today, so that Well, let's do let's do guests and then we'll come to the question our guests tonight.

We have a really good lineup and it's all about the music tonight our friends Amelie and John from 7,000 Apart are here and the way it's interesting.

They don't know this but

When I talk about them, I tell everybody I discovered them.

So I don't know how they feel about that.

And if they're listening, maybe they hear that, but I just take credit for them.

And I'm OK doing that.

But they'll be here at 635.

Great musical duo.

They like to perform here in studio as well as on other shows here at Civic Media.

They've worked down the block at Hagermeister Park.

They play live in Sweden all the time.

They're they met.

I love the story.

They met at Preble High School when she was an exchange student.

And they did the long distance thing and that's where the name 7,000 apart comes from.

It's 7,000 kilometers and now they're married and they travel all over the place and they've got

They're going places.

They're doing some really great stuff.

So they'll be here to perform tonight.

They've got a new album out, all kinds of fun stuff.

That's at 635.

And then, ladies and gentlemen, it is a bar band Friday night.

Terry Barr, our friend from Maxink Radio, will be here at 735, as she so often is.

And she will share new music with us and some great conversation.

Now, I want to roll from Terry Barr into what our question of the night is because, yeah, go ahead.

Well, I just got to say, I just got a voicemail.

Oh, really?

It's the weirdest thing this thing doesn't take voicemails, but we got one.

Is it from Bob Boberson?

Should I display it?

I'm curious.

Yeah, let's see what's going on.

Hey, is he on the line now?

Yeah, all right.

Hey peach cobbler.

It's Jimmy Stewart from heaven.

I've got a little poem for you.

Yeah, you know, I like to write poems and everything.

Well, let me tell you something peach cobbler at your birthday today and gee whiz that's just swell

Up here in heaven, we're all tipping our halos and ringing them bells with a jubilant yell.

The peach, you're warm like a Sunday sunset and as sweet as the stars in a clear midnight sky.

If birthdays were movies, well, this one's a classic and a feel-good showstopper and no need to ask why.

So, so peach, you blow out them candles, you make one hell of a wish.

And don't you dare skimp on the vanilla ice cream, because life's just a wonderful, wonderful thing.

And you, dear Peach, you're the star of the scene.

I want to wish you a happy birthday, Peach Cobbler.

I hope you have a great birthday.

Have a good one.

Bye now.

Who the hell names their kid, Peach Cobbler?

I don't get it.

He wasn't hung up yet.

I don't think you realized.

You know, it's such a great touch.

Uh, the vanilla ice cream.

Thank you, Jimmy, from Beyond the Grave.

Not many people get birthday wishes from Beyond the Grave,

so that

was very nice.

All of you guys, it was just great.

Thank you.

It's been a fun day.

I've heard from so many civic media people today.

I didn't even think they'd like me.

because I never bring donuts when I go and do the show from Madison.

But no, it's outstanding and it's been a really great day.

So thank you so much.

We'll keep this train rolling with our question of the night.

Let's talk about

the

question.

Okay, question.

Question.

Question.

Pregunta.

Question.

Question.

Okay, I have a question.

Questions.

This question.

Domanda.

Question.

Question.

Questions.

What is...

Our question of the night.

I went off the page.

There we go.

What celebrity do you share a birthday with?

Very simple.

And here's what we're going to do, folks.

Share what celebrity you share a birthday with.

Text it in on the stream, on the app, old school, on the phone at 8557-524-842-8557-5 Civic.

Text us who you share a birthday with.

And we are going to write down these names.

And at the end of the night, we are going to vote someone.

as the coolest birthday celebrity sharer.

We'll find out who shares a birthday with the coolest celebrity, and we're gonna bring in the talents of our friend Terri Barr.

We'll read them when she's here.

Conrad, Terri, and I will decide who has the coolest celebrity birthday.

That sounds fun.

That's great.

For

yours.

I can't pick myself, right?

No, and you kind of poo

pooed your own.

The mine is June 10th, so I share a birthday with Kate Upton.

Yeah.

Uh, Judy Garland.

Okay.

And Bill Burr.

Okay.

That's good.

So those are three right there.

You kind of sounded like you were a little down on the people you shared birthday with, but those are

good,

I think.

It's all right.

Kate Upton's the best one.

For what reasons?

She's a great actress.

She played a nun in the three, the Fairly Brothers edition of the Three Stooges.

Uh, my birthday celebrities are Vince Vaughn.

Julia Styles I do have kind of a connection to Julia Styles because I co-wrote a film called a guy thing with Greg Lana and That came out in 2004.

I think from MGM and Julia is in the movie.

So I share a birthday with her and Lady Gaga So those are three.

I think Julie is an A-lister but Vince Vaughn and Lady Gaga those are pretty good.

I'll take that I'd say Vince Vaughn's my favorite.

You think so?

Vince Vaughn's one of my favorite

actors.

So

yeah, I It's weird.

I like Vince Vaughn

In the movies I like them in, I love them.

Swingers, phenomenal.

Old school, phenomenal.

Wedding crashers, good.

I didn't like that movie as much as I like the others, but I love old school, love swingers, and yeah, Vince Vaughn is hilarious.

So there was another thing actually today.

When I was rolling into work, I just tuned into a random radio station, and it played this, and I think it was connected to you actually.

Really?

Americans up 40.

Now we're up to our long-distance dedication.

This is a special message for someone even sweeter than their name, and it reads like this.

Dear Casey, there's someone out there who makes life just a little bit warmer, a little bit sweeter, and a whole lot more special.

His name is Peach Cobbler, and today is his birthday.

From the moment I heard him on the radio, I knew he was something special.

comforting, unforgettable, and always the best part of my day.

He lights up every room like a freshly baked dessert coming out of the oven, and the world is a better place because he's in it.

Casey, could you please wish Peach Cobbler a happy birthday and Peach wherever you are?

Just know I'm out here thinking about you, celebrating you, and maybe even saving a scoop of ice cream just for you.

Signed, Gary.

Gary, here's your long distance dedication.

Happy birthday to Peach Cobbler from all of us at American Top 40.

Wow.

Todd Michaels at a busy week.

On my

behalf.

That's so funny.

Wherever Diane McWilliams is these days, I doubt she's listening.

But thank you for the Peach Cobb.

She's the one who thought my name was Peach Cobb.

a lot of

mileage out of that.

So Dennis from Milwaukee, he's in the 414.

He shares a birthday with John Lennon.

And at the end of the show, Conrad, Terry Barr, and me, we will all decide who has the coolest celebrity birthday.

So Dennis is on board from Milwaukee with John Lennon.

That'll be tough to beat.

Angie from Monroe says, Jesus, okay.

He might have just topped John Lennon.

She says, Andy says the 24th.

Isn't Jesus' birthday the 25th?

Unless she's talking about a guy named Jesus who I don't know.

I assume she's talking about Jesus, last name Christ.

But we'll put that one down too.

Angie has Jesus, Dennis from Milwaukee.

Oh, he texted twice.

He's apparently trying to get a leg up on Jesus.

Luann from Green Bay says October 2nd, Gordon Sumner.

Rob from Green Bay says, I share a birthday with Johnny Cash.

I have a feeling, because we're letting Terri in on the fun tonight.

Terri Ryan, she's in the 414, says, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

All right, these are great, outstanding.

Keep those texts coming, folks.

Who do you share?

What celebrity do you share a birthday with?

It was, I forgot.

I forgot

Yeah, me too.

Rich, if you remember, let us know.

And Todd Alba also on the stream.

There's no bigger fan of Todd Alba than Pete Schwabba.

Cheers.

Thank you, buddy.

And a tip of my hat to Aaron Zomers on that thing you put together.

He's

Paul Paulson, actually.

He's Paul Paulson.

Yeet Schwabba's name.

I didn't want to ruin it because I know,

you

know, but whatever station that was, Aaron worked for them before he worked for us.

That was good.

So good stuff.

All right.

7,000 Apart is here right when we come back from the news.

Can't wait to talk to these guys.

They're back from Sweden.

They're back in Green Bay.

They got a whole bunch of shows lined up, and we're going to talk to them about everything when we come back after the news, and we will read some more of your texts.

Let us know what celebrity you share a birthday with, and we'll see if it's the coolest celebrity of the night.

Conrad and Terry and I will all decide by the end of the show.

Great to have you with me on this Friday night.

Thanks for helping me celebrate my birthday, folks.

It's Pete Schwabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio

Network.

Alright.

Welcome back to Nightlight.

I am Pete Schwabba.

Riding shotgun is the lovable producer Conrad and we are reading your text.

Our question tonight is who do you share a celebrity birthday with?

We're going to read the text at the end of the night or read who shares what birthday with whom and we will decide who has the coolest celebrity birthday.

Terry Barber will hopefully help us do that.

Jim from Appleton says J.R.R.

Tolkien.

That's Lord of the Rings, right?

I think it's Lord of the Rings.

That's a good

one.

608 says Mel Gibson, Greta Thunberg, Eli Manning.

Wow.

Some good.

Am I saying Thunberg?

She's Swedish,

right?

You're talking so fast,

I don't even understand that.

Is that Swedish?

Oh, I love it.

Oh, that's

great.

We played at her high school.

You did?

We know

her sister.

Yeah, we know her sister.

She recorded in our studio.

Yeah, we wrote with her sister.

She's an artist, yeah.

So I don't want to sound stupid, but does everybody in Sweden know each other?

Or is it?

Kind of.

It's pretty small.

See, I

picture you guys going back there hanging out with like ABBA.

Yeah, I wish.

We're like one step away from that.

We're one step away.

We know someone who works with one of the ABBA members a lot.

Wow.

So you know, like we're getting there.

Who was the other artist that came out in the 90s?

She had, you've got the look.

Oh, do you mean Rookset?

Roxette,

she's sweet too, right?

Yeah, so they're duo actually.

And she passed away a few years ago.

She did?

But they are touring now apparently, yeah.

Really?

But with just another sweetest.

She is some good tune.

Didn't she sing the song It Must Have Been Love from, that's a beautiful

song.

Wow,

I didn't know she passed away.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's good song.

You can

add that to your

setlist tonight.

We get asked to do a rock set quite often.

Do you

really?

That doesn't surprise me.

All

right, the voices you're hearing folks,

as you're probably

bringing these fine people onto the show, are Amelie and John from 7000 Apart.

They are two of our favorites here at Nightlight, and they've been on the show several times.

Always fun to have you guys.

You're back from Sweden.

You're bi-continental.

Yes.

You spend time in Green Bay.

Yeah.

And in Sweden, so

that's so cool.

So

welcome back.

And how what do you like better?

We can't play favorites.

Yeah, like we can't play favorites.

Yeah, we like we like things about both places.

And I think the more that we are in both places, we want to like enjoy the things about the place that we're currently in.

Yeah, you know, so it's

like there's things we like in both.

Do you, John?

All right.

And both of you, do you like it in your home country a little more, just like to to live?

because it's more convenient or does it not?

I mean, we chose to live in Stockholm for a reason.

I mean, that's why we are there as our base.

But again, it's very little about missing a place.

It's more about appreciating a place when we're in that place.

So when we come back here, we're like, oh my gosh, you have this thing and that thing.

Oh, that's so great.

And oh my gosh, this is so nice and the people.

I would say it's more about appreciating things more.

We

love the touring here,

but in Sweden we

love the recorded music industry side of things.

And we love our van here, but we also love walking in Stockholm.

You know what I mean?

You can't take that with you.

We

cannot take our van with us.

Excellent van.

Oh my gosh, I wish.

I really wish I could do

that.

That's fantastic.

So let's talk about...

Well, first, I want to ask you something.

You said you were in Snow White.

You did the voice of who?

Of Snow White.

In this new

movie that just came out.

In the new movie Snow White, yeah.

In Swedish.

So you went into the studio and like dubbed?

Yeah.

Oh, that is amazing.

Thank you.

So when you watch a Swedish version of Snow White, that's your voice.

That's gonna

be me, yeah.

Or that is me.

I guess it's out already, so yeah.

How did you get that?

So I've been I've been voice acting since I was 10 years old.

And so I have been going in and out of the studio a little bit.

Obviously, like when we moved here to the US, I had to kind of put that on hold for a bit.

But then now that we moved back, I get to come into the studio more.

And so it was called to a voice test, which is like an audition.

And so, yeah, I got to go in in December.

Where did you

go?

So

it's in Stockholm.

It's at a place called IUNO.

They're a big company.

They do

they have like offices all over the world.

And yeah, so I went there and got to sing a little bit and talk a little bit.

And then it was me and I think three other girls who got to do the voice test and then they chose me.

Oh my gosh.

I got

to choose.

Wow.

Yeah.

I was up for that too.

I'm

happy.

If

I didn't

get

it,

I'm happy

it was one of my friends.

Your range wasn't big enough for you apparently.

I didn't know Swedish either.

That was kind of a ding.

One of those things.

Before we get any further, it is.

birthday, we have to sing you happy birthday.

You have some musicians in suit.

We have to.

All right.

And so my question is here.

Do you want your birthday song in Swedish or in English or in both?

Oh, what do you think?

I think I should go Swedish, right?

I think, yeah, I think that'd

be pretty cool.

Can you choose both?

Oh, yeah, if you can do it twice.

I've only had a son.

They're different.

They're different.

The Swedish song is different.

So I need you to help me, though, because we need to clap.

Oh, all right.

Swedish is very specific.

OK, we'll start with the Swedish one.

And then I need four who raise.

And technically you don't have to do it because it's like, it's your birthday, so you don't have to.

But if you want to join in, you have to.

The producer, you're welcome to

do it as

well.

You're welcome to do it.

Okay, so it goes

like this.

Wow, that's actually only the seventh time that's been sung

to

me

in Sweden.

No,

I should have

known that.

That was when the

Horace came in.

For next year.

We'll be here for next year.

Yeah Happy birthday to you Happy birthday

Could you please bring me my handkerchief?

That was beautiful.

Thank you so much, you guys.

That was fun.

Bilingual birthday wishes.

Of course, there you go.

I love it.

Maybe you'll be more memorable.

I

think it

is.

Like that one time Swedes yelled at me.

No, let's okay.

So you're a bona fide and I just got it sung to me by a bona fide movie star Are you hoping to do more that kind of work?

I mean, I love it I adore it and so obviously like the more I get to do the happier I am but But I also I am aware of that I'm hard to book because I spend half of my time here in Wisconsin Right and so I take what I can get but I don't expect much.

Okay So let me ask you this John.

Do you ever yeah?

I mean now that you guys kind of have a foot into the movie world so to speak

Do

you have

any desire to write music for movies or

scores or anything?

Yeah, I mean, I mean definitely like That's something we're definitely in Interested in in like writing music and having our music in movies and TV.

We've had one song in a MTV show actually so

far

But yeah, we'd love to do it more and but I have actually gotten to record at this studio as well for other actors and I got to be a stormtrooper that died in a Star Wars TV show

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

So

that's my

claim

to fame.

Yeah,

the one line

That's all

I

think all Star Wars fans could die the

next day if they have

fun.

He has like a Star Wars tattoo

So is that hard like

Movie music and writing music for movies.

I'm sure it's like a whole other

It's a very competitive field in the same way like live is or anything else.

It's very specific very niche You can like if you get to a certain size as an artist you can get your music into movies and TV a lot easier But

if you're

doing it like as your main thing, it's very niched.

Yeah, but it's fun.

Yeah

Have you gotten to watch the

movie yet with you doing the voice?

I haven't.

No, because it premiered just last week and we were here and I can't find it in Swedish in Green Bay.

Sadly, they don't, they only show

the American version.

I haven't even done that yet, but I really want to.

So we'll probably go this week.

Every Thursday, we do the popcorn pick of the week here, and we have someone on to talk about their movie-watching approach and snacks they like, and then they give us a movie pick, and Frank Hermans from Green Bay, do you guys know Frank?

Yeah,

of course

do.

And

he picks Snow White.

Yeah, that's

public as we just talked about it.

He loved it.

Yeah, oh, that's good.

I'm glad he did.

So we've got a lot to get to.

You've got a date coming up.

But do you guys want to play something before the break?

We have about five minutes.

Absolutely.

Do you want something uptempo?

Do you want something pretty?

Hey, I'm just thrilled to have you guys here.

Let's do one of each.

If you don't mind

doing two songs, you pick what you want to do.

We can also do a verse and a chorus, and then just switch to the next one.

We can do that as

well.

I love the whole song, if

you don't mind.

So you guys

figure out if you want to rock it first or go slow.

It's totally up to you.

Do you want to do it slower?

two months ago and yeah we're just you got you

a friend with you oh

And you

guys, I

think you played that song when you were here.

Tell us

what

that means again.

Oh yeah, it means so much.

I struggled a lot with my mental health, especially during COVID times.

And it got really, really bad, but I did what I could.

And you know, I went to therapy and I took the pills and I tried to take care of my body and my mind and eventually things got better.

And so this song is about when things finally start to get clear again, then you start to like...

appreciate life in a whole different way again.

And you might be changed because of what you went through, but it's not just for the worse, it's actually also for the better.

That's great.

Well, I love when someone is affected by something in their life

and

their life and then turns it into something so beautiful, some art.

Yeah, that's beautiful.

Those high notes must be tough

when you

have a cold or something.

Yeah, yeah, it goes really high.

Can

you go lower if you have to?

Oh, yeah, yeah, just tune down.

That's great.

But thank you for the text.

From the 608, May 6th, Sigmund Freud, Willie Mays, Orson Welles, Rudolph Valentino.

Oh, those are some cool birthdays.

Long list, I know.

Hope I share some of their attributes.

I'm sure my wife sees some Valentino in me.

That's an optimist.

And we'll do one more here.

Gordy from Oregon, that's in the 608 says November 10th.

Tracy Morgan and Sinbad, not my fault.

I would have chose a different day.

Nobody blames you for your birthday.

Yeah,

it's not your fault that would people brag about something like a skin color or a last name, but like you had nothing to do with it

It's

not like

you achieved something.

So

in Sweden, we have name days.

And I share my name day is Hitler's birthday.

Oh dear.

That doesn't feel good, you know what I'm saying?

That's not good, no.

It's up to you to turn things around there.

So that's what we're saying, Gordy.

Don't feel bad about your birthday.

And Sinbad and Tracy Morgan's hilarious, actually.

7,000 Apart is here in the studio.

They just performed for us.

Let's talk about some of the things you guys have coming up.

All right, so if you're in Sweden or anywhere internationally, check out the Swedish version of the new release of Snow White.

Amelie is Swedish Snow White.

She did the voice for that, so that's a really cool thing.

But let's talk about a show you guys have coming up locally, April 4th, right around the corner.

Yes, exactly.

We're running a Kickstarter right now to fund our third album and to kind of have like, it's kind of like a rap party in a way.

So we're, we're wrapping it up on the fifth.

So the fourth will be doing one last little concert here before we head back to Sweden.

And so we're doing that at Hamlet Creek.

Do you remember what it was used to do?

No, but it's off a finger road.

Yeah.

So it's this really beautiful chapel off a finger road on the east side of Green Bay.

And yeah, we're just going to be playing some songs.

It's a free event.

We'll be playing some songs, selling some merch, just telling some stories behind the songs.

And just we're planning on a really beautiful night.

It has like this amazing acoustics.

So like everything sounds amazing in there.

Nice.

Yeah.

So how does that work with with a Kickstarter?

Like you kind of invite people.

They know the drill before they get there.

Like you're trying to finance an album.

So they make a donation like in

person.

Yeah.

So actually like Kickstarter isn't really donation based.

It's rewards based.

So it's more like a preset.

So it's like you can get a CD or vinyl

t-shirt merchandise before basically they're getting Like merchandise from the album before the album is released very cool.

It's like kind of a pre-sale essentially Yeah, the album.

Yeah, you guys must have so many fans.

I mean like I the way I say things around here is that I discovered you But I mean you guys must have like people that

want to empty their pockets, because they know you're going places, right?

I mean, is it hard to?

We have some incredible supporters, absolutely.

But we've also set a very ambitious goal.

So we are still very nervous that we're going to hit it or not, because Kickstarter is all or nothing.

So if we don't hit our goal, we'll get zero dollars.

So we're just really like...

But we're so thankful to everyone that's

supported so far.

And we're going to do our best.

We have one week left.

So we're going to do our best to hit

the goal.

90 people have already back the Kickstarter.

Oh, wow.

And we're about halfway.

Yeah, we're going to work hard this last week.

You got your checkbook with you?

I'll have to go home to get it.

I want to check that old bed.

I got to go.

So is that song you just played, Soul and Some of the Scars, is that on the new album?

Oh man, that's

awesome.

OK.

So the show is April 4th.
