John & Gordy & Pete in the Evening (Hour 1)

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.

This is Night Light with Peach Wabba.

Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now, a guy who travels so he can pretend he's on the lam, Peach Wabba.

Welcome to Night Light, ladies and gentlemen.

Great to have you with me great to be on the air on this Thursday night the Christmas Eve of weekdays The weekend is almost here, and I've got nothing to do this weekend, which I'm excited about you ever have a weekend like that kind of where you're like I got nothing planned And yeah, so you could just chill

that's good.

That's about to be my weekend this this weekend You know same just about to do some chores around else.

That's about it

not even doing that

I'm not getting out of bed.

I'm gonna pull a Ron Livingston in office space and do nothing.

Actually, I am gonna do something.

I'm gonna go see your pal and our pal, Emerson Lehman, play pickleball.

Oh, there you go.

He

reached out today and he was good to his word.

He said, I'm playing pickleball in Marinette.

And he said, come on out.

I said, thank you for the reminder.

I'm gonna go out there.

I'm gonna get some audio that we can play on the show.

Yeah.

maybe of Emerson grunting or pulling a hammy or whatever he does on the pickleball field.

I'm excited to see it.

I've never seen competitive pickleball.

And having said that, I've played pickleball.

I just don't compete.

So that'll be fun.

Those are, I will partake in pickleball.

Those are my plans.

But other than that, I'm not doing a damn thing.

Yeah.

I think you're going to just get bored at what I'm going to do.

The sound of it is I'm going to watch the Masters.

That just hurts to think about.

So you're not even going to be golfing.

You're going to be watching golfing.

That's like that Brian Regan joke.

I'm not even fishing.

I'm watching fishing.

Yeah.

Well, people love the Masters.

If it comes down

to one putt, I'll love the Masters.

You know what

I

mean?

Like I just don't want to spend 12 hours watching the whole thing.

It's like the anti NCAA tournament.

I think it's gonna be a good tournament, so that's why that's why I'm gonna watch

it.

Do some chores.

What kind of

chores?

What do you have in mind chore-wise?

Well, there's some laundry that needs to get attended to.

Yeah.

That's, that's the worst thing.

Are you at the point where you're like turning your underwear inside out

to

wear it again?

You're not quite that desperate.

No, that's the main thing I make sure.

I've been running out of that.

I'm like, all right, I don't care what time it is.

I need to do some laundry.

Yeah, that's brutal.

But no, I have that laundry chair going on right now.

Just a bunch of shirts and stuff is on it.

Do you separate?

Do you like your, I'm curious.

You're a young bachelor.

Do you separate whites, dark colors?

We don't do that.

That's my boy.

My washing machine is very small.

So whatever fits in it, fits in it, and it goes.

Do you

have your own or is it

like community?

Yeah, that's the good thing about my apartment.

Oh, nice.

I got it.

It's just a little small, so.

Are we talking like one pair of jeans at a time or what?

We're talking about, I'd say, three outfits worth of clothes.

OK.

Three outfits.

If you're being resourceful, that's one pair of pants and two shirts.

What can mix and match one

pair?

I'd say two pairs of pants a sweatshirt two shirts and then throw the rest of the other stuff in there the accessories,

okay?

Sounds like you got a really good laundry plan

there.

It takes me a long time to get through

I just did a whole bunch to I

We'll be right back with more laundry talk, folks.

We're gonna come back and

finish these

amazing anecdotes we've got going on here, laundry-wise.

But I don't plan on doing anything.

I think I will go see some pickleball.

I wanna see if Emerson is, how funny, I would love to show up and see him just dominating 80-year-olds.

I think that would be so great.

This is exciting.

I heard this.

I've been talking a little bit on the show about the nightlight-inspired beer, Hazed on Radio, at Flix Brew House in Madison.

So yesterday, I don't know if I said this on the show, but I'll say it again anyway, Brewmaster Dave Hansen, who, in my opinion, made a really good beer.

Again, I'm not a beer aficionado, but I liked it.

It had a light kind of a passion-fruity type taste to it, like a little bit of a...

Kind of a spotted cow, but maybe Just a hair lighter.

It was a hazy IPA.

Thus the title hazed on radio Dave told me yesterday.

I said how's it selling and he said he pulled some numbers On my way out of town and he told me it was selling it was beating all the other local brands two to one so I Might have a new career.

I might be a beer mogul

I Did you help with the

I did

I poured in the hops.

That's right.

That's right.

You have a

picture of that.

Yep.

And Dave was, he told me what to do, but yeah, it was, did you try that?

I see it sitting over there in one of those crawlers.

Well, that one was supposed to be for Todd, but he didn't take it home.

Interesting.

Mine's in my fridge.

Okay.

And you know, it's not resealable, so

I'm waiting

for

the weekend.

Have a buddy over, split it, or was that 32 ounces?

If Amanda wants some, I hope they split that.

I don't know, Todd's a beer drinker.

He likes spotted cow, right?

I don't know if he likes IPAs or not, so maybe you'll like it.

Spotted cow and IPA?

Todd, if you're listening, it's right there.

Let us know.

Take it home.

Have some sips.

And

let us know what you think.

But that's exciting.

You still get it.

That's the last night of the Wisconsin Film Festival is tonight at Flix Brewhouse.

So if you're there, check out a Hazed On Radio.

It's selling well.

So that's exciting.

Great show tonight, folks.

It's 6.35.

We are doing the popcorn pick of the week.

It is Thursday night.

John and Gordy, radio legends from WMDX in Madison.

We'll be here as a team.

to make the popcorn pick of the week.

And they will probably have their own picks, which is great.

We'll get two for the price of one.

Like you get every day on the morning show here on Civic Media on DMX, at least in the Madison area.

You get two for the price of one.

You get John and Gordy's picks.

They're both movie nuts.

They're both a little nuts.

And I can't wait to have them on the show.

That's at 635.

And then we've got Maximilian Blaska.

Max Blasca have you ever heard of a better name than that?

That's the name that my dad wants Max.

Yes.

He said that last night.

That was our question.

You're right and Max a million Blasca is cool, too But Max Blasca.

Are you kidding me?

That guy's going far in life with that name.

That's a really sick name

And then our pal Logan Rogi joins the show at 735 from travel, Wisconsin.

He is the senior communications Person there.

Do you know what that means?

Not entirely.

He gets to boss around all the junior communications people at travel, Wisconsin.

Well, that means

probably a lot of

them.

That's awesome.

That is awesome.

He's not.

He's

a very nice guy.

He's

not the type that would just like be authoritative just for the sake of doing it.

You know, any better not ever try to tell me what to do when he's here.

Put him in his place.

Logan's awesome.

He'll be here at 7.35.

And ladies and gentlemen, I think that brings us to 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 celebrity commercials do you dislike most?

What celebrity commercials do you dislike most?

I saw a slew of them last night.

And it just gets under my skin.

I'm so tired of it.

I'm so tired.

And this kind of sparked the two.

Telemarketing.

I can't handle it.

Stop.

This should not be legal.

Clogging our voicemail boxes with junk.

People telling me it's urgent that you get back to me.

Not for me, for you, because you're a telemarketer.

I don't have to do anything.

People say oh just empty your box.

Oh, that's fine, but I've got like 12 messages in there.

I shouldn't have to deal with that but while I was Contemplating this last night.

I saw I can this is my least favorite commercial.

It's the Zach Braff and Donald face on I think is his last name the two guys from scrubs

Those things suck enough It's terrible.

They're so bad every time I hear that I mute I will mute

If

I think of it, I mute commercials.

I don't need to hear any of them.

I don't

need

stuff, people trying to get me to buy more stuff.

And I'll tell you, I don't even like the, I like the comedian, Irish guy, what's his name?

He's hosted Saturday Night Live.

He does the one with Post Malone, the commercial where they're sitting there and they can't drink beer

on TV.

Sean?

Sean Gillis.

Sean Gillis.

Yes.

He's hilarious.

I can't even stand that commercial anymore

and they played away too much now too

much and mayhem can't stand that guy Also, I think it's all stayed

that's the one I they at least change it up sometimes.

You don't see the same one every time.

Yeah Flow oh, no, thanks next done

those ones terrible Jake from

State Farm.

I'm done with that one too.

Yeah, those

it's been what how many years now since

way too

long that guy's taken over it's been like five years i feel like and they kind of replay him you know

it was a weird choice of casting to like he looks like he should be skateboarding he looks like he's like 20 and he's the guy you do you talk to at state farm

you can see him sitting courtside at nba games now

i know he's made a ton of money and good for him good for the actor good for him but i don't i i cannot stand the jake from state farm commercials

I don't know.

I'm gonna go with Zach Braff and Donald Fasson, though, T-Mobile.

I really... The we're buddies and this is what we do and I cannot take it anymore.

That's my least favorite celebrity commercial.

What about yours?

You got one?

I was thinking about this.

Actually, I got two.

So Theo James in those ranger over commercials.

Because he goes out of a really expensive house and do a really expensive car and it just is like, look at how much money I have, you know.

Theo James is from white lotus season two, right?

That's that's the thing

is

like

yeah, he's never recovered from that like in my eyes.

He's still He's still a mean person from that's right and I'm a terrible

person.

He plays another show.

It's called the time traveler's wife.

Yeah

He's he's terrible in that too.

Really?

Yeah, I think he's just meant to play terrible people.

So what's the other one?

You said you had to

So this one actually really grants my gears.

Okay

And it's influencers like, uh, I don't know if you know who Druski is.

No, or, um, sketch.

These guys, they go prize picks and they promotes, Oh, it's really easy to make money higher or lower on all these NBA NFL, you know, games like betting.

Yes.

And it's like, no, it's not easy to bet higher or lower.

You, it's never a for sure thing on anything.

So I just hate how they say.

Really easy just put in my code get $20 off and win money.

It's easy to lose money It's easy to place the bet.

It's not easy to win.

Yeah, that's terrible

So those are the ones that I just do not do not like

All right, let us know, folks.

And all of your texts, great to have you with us on this Thursday night on Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media Radio

Network.

Welcome back to Nightlight with Pete Schwabba.

I am Pete Schwabba, your host for this evening's broadcast.

We had texts last night.

What was our question?

It was, what would you change your name to?

So I got to find that because there was a couple I did not get to.

I had a very long one from my friend, Mike Gregory.

But I know I did not read Andrew Genzer's text, who made a joke, and he was hilarious because I wrote with him on Sports Supo.

He says, nightlight with Beach Wamba.

Yes, finally.

He's referencing, I think, the comment earlier where we posted under the comment saying, what should Pete change his name to?

And I think he's saying, he's finally changing his name.

Oh, Gensher is hilarious.

Some other people checking in on social media, Mike Dessertel says, what's commercial?

The fast forward button is the greatest invention of all time.

Yes it is.

It is.

And then Barbara of Pfeiffer-Wooge says, Mike Dessertel, if it weren't for my DVR, I wouldn't watch TV.

I kind of agree with her.

I just don't think I could sit through it.

Even on like last night, I was watching a show and it's just, it's that.

I think it was prime and you used to get prime and there were no commercials.

Yeah, it's just like oh now we have free V But there's commercials, but it's free.

Well, no you have to get prime to get that and now primes got the commercials to air Eric Ratsack from ask your mother our pal Eric says I actually loved a little way Lil Wayne in Samsung.

I don't know that one.

I don't think I've seen that one actually.

Yeah me either

Mary Picconi my old pal Mary from PBS Wisconsin says anything with a Kardashian.

Yes

That is my that's that's the best thing I've read on the internet in months I cannot stand But I don't do they do a lot of ads I do see them in them and I don't like them But

so I know that Kim Kardashian does just doesn't her ads for skims Which is her

like skims skims.

Yeah, what

her clothing line which she actually did a Super Bowl commercial

right

for that which is Honestly, I didn't think they would do that with how much it costs

Do you own any skims?

I

can't

say I do.

Is it just for women?

No, they got men's underwear.

It's supposed to look like just like you're naked, right?

Pretty much.

Okay.

Yeah, we need to see more of Kim Kardashian.

You know what?

The Lil Wayne thing reminded me of something.

I don't know why my mind went there.

But do you remember when Shaq was in literally every commercial?

Yes.

I like this likable guy, but enough.

Yeah.

You go like four separate commercials and you say, hey.

Good for him for making

his money,

but okay, that's enough shit.

Enough.

Tom from New Berlin says, Pete, the Scottish term for staying in bed all day is called, I remember this, Erkel Dirkle.

Yep.

We talked about that on the show.

Tom is paying attention, man, or maybe he just knew that.

Thank you, Tom.

He says therapeutic, and I could not agree more.

From WMDX and the 608, Peyton Manning, oh, that's those two again, Peyton and Eli Manning.

stop forcing them on the American public.

They're hard to listen to.

They're not as funny as they think they are.

I'm done with the Mannings.

And they're an annoying

dad.

I can tell.

I know.

I

know you love the Mannings, but I'm sorry.

No, I mean, Peyton's getting along.

I like Eli better.

I'm gonna work on a Peyton Manning impression.

There you go.

So we'll do that.

Maybe we'll do a skit with Peyton Manning.

Anna from Madison, that's in the 608.

She says, hi, Peyton Conrad.

I can't stand Joe Namath doing health insurance and hearing aid commercials.

Yeah, those are bad, Anna.

I don't know if I have an opinion on Joe Namath.

I don't really know anything about him.

He played football long before I was born, but those are just bad commercials.

Like the production quality is terrible.

It's like all old.

Oh my God speaking of older people and this is not meant to offend anyone but the Marinette You know, I live in Marinette.

Yeah,

the Marinette unofficial Marinette town car is the Buick Le Sabre and Today this is funny because yesterday I was talking about how I can't stand when two people Drive in a two-lane road and they just stay the same speed.

They can tell traffic is building up behind them

Neither one of them will get out of the way.

They're just both going the same speed.

That happened to me two days ago on the way back from Madison for like 10 minutes.

I was stuck behind these two clods.

Today in Marinette, I was stuck behind two handsome gray Buick Le Sabres.

Neither one of them would get out of the way.

And the Buick Le Sabre folks, if you're not familiar with it, they're all over Marinette.

If you're in the market,

Get yourself up to Marinette and you I guarantee you'll get a if it's supply and demand has anything to do with it You'll get a great deal on a Buick Le Sabre in Marinette.

It is the most It's has the least amount of sex appeal of any car on the market if you don't want to meet girls or guys for that matter get yourself the Buick Le Sabre and Put yourself out there There it is Look at that thing.

Oh, that's a piece of engineering right there

If you have an erection lasting more than four hours, go sit in a Buickless Sabre.

It'll clear that up right away.

I just thought that was funny, because we were just talking about that yesterday.

Kurt on the stream says, Hayes on Radio is on tap at Flicks Brewhouse Madison.

That's right, buddy.

He says that's definitely going to be our audience choice award for beer at the Mental Health Warrior Film Festival.

Jeff Beinkenship and I will be leading the way.

Please do, Kurt.

Say hi to Jeff Forrest.

He was a great guest.

We've got your other friend Max on in just a little bit.

We've decided, Kurt, that Max Blaska is one of the coolest names we've ever heard.

Craig, can it?

Another friend of the show who's been in here several times says, I hate seeing past icons like Mr. T or Ice T selling life insurance.

Got no kidding.

He said, I know I'm old, but those make me feel ancient.

It makes you feel old, and it's like, how desperate are they?

Iced tea has got residuals from like 24 years of special victims, law and order, SVU.

He does not need the money.

Maybe he just loves life insurance.

I don't know.

Maybe that's his passion, his side hustle.

Who knows?

Craig also says, Pete, if you aren't doing anything Saturday night, we're shooting a new short in Greenville.

You'd be welcome.

I need a signing bonus and a per diem, Greg, Craig, and I need airfare from Marinette to Greenville.

If you can make that happen, I'm there.

Unfortunately, I have plans with my wife and I will be scoping out pickleball before that, Craig.

But I do appreciate the invite.

One of these days, I'll make it out there and break a leg.

Have a great time with the shoot.

Jennifer says, hey, my mom had a 76 Buick Le Sabre that got stolen from Staggerin and Nicosia, Wisconsin in like 1978 or 79.

LOL.

I think she's using voice text.

That's great.

Sorry to hear that, Jennifer.

That was a hot car back then.

Hey, it's the popcorn pick of the week on Thursday.

Keep your texts coming, folks.

What celebrity commercial do you dislike the most?

That's what we're talking about here on Nightlight.

Two radio legends coming up next.

John and Gordy from the WMDX morning show are making the popcorn pick of the week next.

On Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media Radio Network.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.

It's a night bite.

Great to have you with me on this Christmas Eve of weekdays, also known as Thursday.

Very exciting.

Our question of the night is what celebrity commercials

do you dislike the most?

And I have to say, I agree with every text we've gotten so far.

Just awful.

So let us know, be part of the show.

Great to hear from you guys.

Find us, get ahold of us any way you can.

Stream, Pony Express, whatever.

We'll read your text on the radio.

I'm very excited because Conrad, as you know, this is Thursday and it is the popcorn pick of the week.

Two guys have decided to join me to give, we're getting two for the price of one, which is what Madison area listeners get every morning when they listen to these two guys on the radio.

They are the hosts of the WMDX Morning Show on Madison here on Civic Media, and they are here to give us their popcorn pick of the week.

John Peterson and Gordie Young, AKA John and Gordie, great to have you guys.

Yeah, it's great to be here finally.

Hey, Pete.

Hey.

We've

been together for a long time, right?

That's right.

Here we are.

If we have to do it on the radio, that's what we do.

I know.

Why are you guys both at, it looks like you're just at your home.

I always picture you

guys just

at the studio hanging out, even when you're not on the air.

No.

Like that's just your life.

We like to spend as little time with each other as possible.

We're paid to stay together for two hours a day.

That's it.

I don't believe that.

That's in our deal.

I'm very strict on that.

But feel for the price of one.

I didn't come up with that.

You know, I feel like we could now.

So

yeah, listen.

Yeah.

And that's the way they pay us to two for the price of one.

So that's radio.

What are you going to

do?

We don't need

to get them in trouble.

That's outside.

You guys are awesome.

I love, I'm such a huge fan.

You've been great to me since I started here and I just think you're both terrific.

So I'm thrilled that you're both doing this.

I also want to say your popcorn pick of the week can be something you saw last week or when you were a kid, you use your whole life as a reference point when you pick your movies.

You probably already picked them and that's fine.

But I'm just letting you guys know that.

So I also want to say, I'm not a snitch.

But I saw Sam your hard-working producer the second year in a row at the Wisconsin Film Festival and Damn that guy can party

We've heard yeah, listen the studio sometimes yeah, we trained him well

I admire that he goes all out and he parties till he is asked to leave and Usually for good reasons, so I was great running into Sam.

He's such a great guy

Yeah, he's he's a projectionist, you know, yeah.

So he he's very, very busy when the film festival time rolls around.

Today, the last day for the festival, I think he had

to leave

early

today, you know, 930 in the morning movie.

What?

Wow.

Yes, I don't know what it was.

Listen,

I don't want

to start anything.

He and Conrad don't get along at all.

There's some kind of weird, I think there was a leg wrestle years ago and it went awry, but we need to.

They are dangerous.

That's right.

Have you

ever seen Sam's vehicle of choice?

Do you know about this is his Volkswagen?

He has a Volkswagen 1974 Volkswagen bug.

It's all beat up.

It's all cruel.

It's got different.

colors on it, different fenders, you know, nothing matches on it.

I think you painted a blue mini on one of the doors.

Yeah, blue mini from Yellow Submarine.

And yeah, it's got weird decals and it's really something we're going to take it out this summer as our John and Gordy vehicle if any events.

Well, if the engine lasts that long.

Well,

it's lasted this long.

I mean, that would be terrible luck.

He's had different engines.

He's put this thing together a couple of times and with us.

Yeah.

He almost killed himself.

He put the engine up on a, uh, like a card table between two card tables to work on underneath.

And then it's, he got his finger caught in, in something and tried to pull it down.

And then the engine was, you know, teetering and he barely escaped with his life.

So.

He loves that car.

I like him even more now.

That's fantastic.

You

know, Gordy and I have a long history in cinema.

I didn't I don't know if you know this.

We had the big sky theater outdoor movie drama that we had each and every Friday night, right?

was

a tv show on fox 47 in madison it was late at night around 11 or midnight and we did the interstitials you know we did the little breaks commercial breaks and we did little skits and everything and uh that was a lot of fun we put you

guys taking care of the concession stand and uh and i had this thing about the uh sporks and i wanted people to return the damn things you know they

you

know they're running guys you know

Yeah, but it was fun doing that.

Oh, that is hilarious.

I love that.

Oh, and we had special guests.

We had, you know, local celebrities of the day in Madison that would stop by during the show.

It was it was a good time.

I think it's time to bring that back.

That sounds hilarious.

Yeah, I kind of miss doing that.

You know, John is really John is really the film buff, by the way.

I, you know, I'm a very casual.

movie goer.

I don't really see a whole lot of movies, but I'm happy to offer my choice.

Okay, I think I kind of really the movie critic.

Okay.

Just so you know.

So I'm a

pressure sign me.

Yeah, you gotta pick something good, John.

This is fun.

So all right, knowing that.

Let's talk about what are your what do you guys eat like when you go to the movies or when you watch them at home?

What is your favorite movie snack?

Let's start with Gordy.

Oh, God.

Movies net.

Well, when I go to, you know, I only go to a few movies a year.

But when I go and if I want to snack, I go with the I think they make them still the bunch of crunch, the Nestle's bunch of yeah, those are great.

So I like chocolate, you know, and I like the crunch.

So that would be my choice.

Nice,

John.

What do you got?

I am kind of a traditional I like popcorn, lots of butter, lots of salt.

Awesome.

And you know, the fact is now that you know, give you beer and all these

Foods that you can take back to your seat now at the Marcus Theaters usually right

so

it's kind of nice every once in a while I get a beer, but you know by the end of the movie, you know, you're really struggling See to run right through you know beer

is

the movie popcorn, but sometimes like when there's a butter on it, which makes it good, your fingers get all crazy.

And even when you use a napkin, you still have like this, it's like a residue that lasts like the better part of a week, it seems like.

But I do like it.

You know, I don't mind the fact that you can bring food now into the theaters.

But I got I actually got about four free passes one time because I sat on somebody's nacho.

Dips in the seat and it was dark, you know, and I see it and I sat right in it, you know, and and then he gave me four free tickets.

That's just my story.

So much.

That is a miserable time at the movies.

Was it almost over?

What did it just start?

That was right at the beginning.

Oh,

yeah, that's terrible.

The four passes though.

I like that I like when movie when you guys are at home watching films Is it different?

Do you cook something like I like to make food?

When I binge watch something or when I watch a movie at home like I like to go outside the box a little bit and get stuff eat stuff at home that I can't get at the theaters What about you guys?

Yeah, that's kind of fun to do every once in a while.

You know, I've got a dog.

I've got a two-year-old border collie that wants to eat everything I'm eating.

So we have stopped having foods like that even popcorn drives me crazy.

She wants to eat all my popcorn.

That's about it for me.

As far as I'm concerned, just a bag of chips.

I'm good to go.

Bag of chips and a soda.

That's it.

Um, you know, I like to vary it up.

I'm trying to find the healthiest chips, uh, and there's some tostitos, uh, or something like that, that, that are really healthy, but they're really hard to find.

Tostitos are really healthy.

Well, there's one, they have one brand of, you know, how they have different flavors.

This one is multi grain.

Oh yeah.

And it's got, uh, it's got, I don't know, some other good stuff, but I can't find

it anywhere.

Well, they've got chips that are.

I guess fried in avocado oil.

Oh yeah, those are great.

My wife will say that she'll go well why don't we just have sandwiches for dinner but on your way home pick up a fun chip.

Yeah.

What's a fun chip like chips like you

know.

I'm that guy in my family you know way back in the old days in the movie theaters they had like three or four movies you know you know

That that was what you write three or four marathon movies.

So I always bought at that time, Slow Pokes.

I don't know if they have Slow Pokes anymore.

Have you seen anything like that?

I haven't

seen them for decades.

No, that's like a milk dud on a stick, right?

Yeah, that's what it is.

I think

if they had marketed it that way, they would have done better and maybe still been still been in business.

But hey, guys, can we John Peterson and Gordy Younger here, also known as John and Gordy from the W.

MDX morning show here on Civic Media in Madison.

We've got a phone call, and I think this pertains to our conversation.

Do you mind if we take a quick call here?

Sure.

All right, who do we have?

Brian from Milwaukee.

Brian from Milwaukee.

How are you doing tonight, buddy?

Hey, good.

Yeah, when I heard you guys talk about everything, you feed your dogs and how they want to eat just everything, we had a black lab, Coonhound Mex, his name was Boomer, and he loved bananas.

And it was crazy because...

We couldn't call it banana anymore.

We just knew what that was.

Then we started calling it manna

and he knew

what that was.

And then it came to the point where he could be at the end of the hall on my parents bed.

I'd be in the kitchen grab a banana and as soon as it popped down to that banana, he hears that and here he comes drooling and he'll sit down right next to me like, oh, you got banana.

Like, dude, he loves his bananas.

You know, incredible.

I mean, those dogs have them.

Big round eyes, you know, and you just can't resist and

you have

to give them something.

No, you can't.

You can't even eat like a banana nut muffin.

Probably.

It sounds like your dog is just totally onto you, Brian.

Yeah.

Really?

He's figured it out.

Brian, that's

awesome.

Thank you.

They

love popcorn too.

Like when I bought my green popcorn, like, oh, someone's making popcorn.

It's like, mm-hmm.

Sounds like boomers are a great way to keep the weight off because you just have to give up food altogether.

Right.

Exactly.

Thank you, buddy.

Thanks for the call.

Your

own diet plan out there.

That's right.

Boomer's diet.

All right.

I think we're at that point.

Conrad, what do you think?

Are we ready to get the pick from these guys?

I know they have great movies.

Their popcorn pick of the week is about to happen.

Ladies and gentlemen, Conrad, if you please.

John Peterson, Gordy Young from the WMDX Morning Show in Madison are about to make the popcorn pick of the week.

Who wants to go first?

I'll go first only because I recommend movies all the time to everybody.

I recommend movies to Gordy and Sam and they don't want to see them.

They never remember the names of the movies that I give them to see.

Like, you know, Derby O'Gill and the Little People or maybe Metropolis, you know,

the

latest version

of

that.

But they haven't seen those so I'm trying to get them to see it.

Okay, my pick and this will change constantly, you know, your favorite picks just whatever comes to mind, right?

Yeah,

but one of the movies that really shocked and stunned me was Speed Racer.

Oh, wow.

The actual movie Speed Racer 2008 live action as you know.

Yeah, Emile Hirsch.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was it was probably one of the most colorful.

Nicely, sweetly produced movies I have ever seen.

I've never seen transitions from scene

to scene

done like that ever and it is so colorful and so perfect.

My Gen Z sons love the movie.

It's a classic.

It is.

But you know, it had so much bad publicity when it came out.

No one went to see it.

You know what, so is Disney's Snow White that just came out.

And everybody I know that's seen it loved it.

So I don't understand it.

My son loves Speed Racer too.

And he was like seven years old when it came out.

I think Conrad likes it.

It's a great pick.

Yeah,

it was not

expecting that job.

Yeah.

All right, fantastic, Gordy Young.

You are up, my friend.

What is your

popcorn pick of the week?

See, now the pressure's on.

John is, you know, he's Mr. Movie, really.

He knows all these movies.

He's seen them all.

You know, I'm very pedestrian in my choices.

And, you know, I had a list.

I had it down to five different movies.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Because I really couldn't figure.

But the one that sticks with me,

that if it comes on TV, I'm going to sit down and watch it.

There's actually two like that.

But Shawshank Redemption, I know everybody says that, right?

That's pretty popular.

It's a great movie.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then the other one is Goodfellas.

I'm not really a blood and gore kind of movie gore.

But I love

I love the mob movies, especially Goodfellas and, you know, anything in that genre.

But Goodfellas, I always, I always watch with DeNiro and Ray Liotta.

She's

way too nervous.

Well, Pesci made me way too nervous.

I

didn't know what he was going to

do

next.

You never know when he's going to go off on something.

Yeah.

That's why he's way too intense.

All right.

John Nagortier here from the WMDX morning show.

We'll have a few minutes left with these guys when we come back and we'll break down these picks.

They were fantastic.

This is Pete Schwabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media

radio network.

I feel it's helping to me.

Here's

a great one and I can't believe I didn't mention this at the beginning of the show.

Our question tonight, folks, is what celebrity commercial drives you?

the most crazy.

What do you dislike the most?

I said the T-Mobile guys from Scrubs.

Bridget from the 818 says, anything Ryan Reynolds is in.

I am tired of his shtick.

I could not agree more.

Yeah, I'm with her on that.

Enough.

Yeah, with the

mint

and just stop.

That

guy is so annoying.

I know his act.

I know what he's into.

You know, he talks fast.

He's very ecstatic.

Okay, you know, stop bringing it to the commercial screen.

I don't want to see it there.

Just leave it in the movie.

Totally agree.

He thinks he's real cute, you know, the way he talks.

I just

I think the three of us should give him a beating.

I don't want to advocate violence.

You

guys already have a

partnership, but let's be a trio and go around and beat people

up.

This

is good, too.

On the stream, PJ says, my go-to is Pop Corner.

Popcorners are a brand of American corn chips.

Conrad's

doing the thumbs up.

Those are great.

Those are really good.

Really.

Those are

good.

Owned by PepsiCo that are popped like popcorn.

I think I'm going to make a pit stop on the way home.

Yeah, popcorn.

They're triangles.

And the good thing about them is they chose not to put garlic and onion seasoning on them.

I am so done with onion and garlic seasoning on them.

everything stop it you know I just want the real flavor of jalapeno or whatever it is lime

You know, that's my big complaint

folks who are seeing a side of John Peterson You might not be at least not a nightlight anyway.

That's awesome John When you guys heard a movie, what do you do?

Do you do you tell people like if people are quiet?

Here's my issue It's either kids being jerks and talking loud and I'll shush them But it's it's equally as annoying are the old people who think they're in their living room now Who's that actor?

Oh, he was in that other movie with the thing.

It's like come on You know, do you guys shush people or do you just kind of try to get through it?

I get through it.

In fact, I'm probably the one that everybody hates who talks during a movie.

Because I'm telling my son, you know, I'm referencing an older movie, and I'm telling him that I like this or the actor is forcing it or he's overacting or, does he actually, you know, think he believes this?

I'm making comments all the way through very, very quietly.

Yeah, maybe not.

I don't know that radio voice.

So I'm not quite sure.

I give them one kind of but I don't look at them.

Okay, do it maybe once once or twice.

If that doesn't work, I get up and move.

Oh, that's

in the middle of the movie.

I'll go find another seat.

See, I do the opposite.

I'll give the look like I'll give the look but I think that the anonymous shush

is smarter because if they are packing, they don't know who to shoot, right?

When you're in the

movie

theater.

So I

think

that's probably probably

more science.

Yeah,

actually.

You guys, this is fun.

Who do you have coming up tomorrow on the show?

Well, every every Friday, we have our friend, Rocker, who does Maxi preview.

The show is on the Civic Media Network on the weekends, Saturday night and replay on Sunday.

So we we always talk to Rocker.

and get a get a little preview.

Kind of like you talked to Terry Barr.

Yeah.

A bar night.

Friday.

Friday

night.

Yeah.

Take a half hour play Wisconsin music.

That's what it's all about.

Wow.

Yeah.

You guys talk about a lot of different stuff.

You do politics sometimes you do entertainment and you got rocker coming out.

What what gets you the most excited?

You've been doing this for a while.

What do you get excited to talk about on your show the most?

We never get excited.

We're too old to get excited.

We

just move on.

We

just

got a big pile of papers and we go through them.

I kind of get excited about tech.

I like the new tech that comes out.

It's always something new, like the new EVs that are coming out.

China has these incredible EV vehicles now that are actually more popular than Tesla's.

The most popular EV vehicle in the world right now.

It sells for like $15,000 an EV and it's yeah, and it's got like 300 miles you know per charge

It's just an incredibly high tech interior of the car.

John likes a lot of tech, and he spends most of his free time at Costco also just wandering around

aimlessly and

looking for the next big great buy.

He's a lifelong Costco member.

We're listening to Mike Mercury talking about going up to what is it, Bay Peninsula?

Bay Mills to Sino.

Mike's so great.

There's nothing up there.

There's nothing up there.

And if there's no Woodmans and if there's no Costco, I'm not there.

No part of

it.

Uh, I gotta let, I gotta share this text with you guys too.

I totally forgot about this.

Anna from Madison says, Pete, did you know John and Gordy are nominated for the best of Madison radio team?

That's exciting.

We've heard that rumor and we're trying to substantiate it.

We're not really sure.

We already already asking for a recount.

We have that.

We're

in.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's all you want.

Right.

You just want to be in the conversation.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's it.

That's it.

I can't believe it.

They have like three selections, you know, first, second and third place.

Now they have like seven people we have to choose from seven.

Why not just have three to pick from?

I

hope you guys win.

Well, thank

you.

You guys are
