You're listening to Civic Media.

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay, this is Night Light with Pete Schwabba.
Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.
And now, a guy who does his own stunts, Pete Schwabba.
Welcome to Night Light, ladies and gentlemen.
I do my own stunts, which includes sitting behind this microphone.
It is great to have you with me on this Tuesday night, a sunny Tuesday night here in northeast Wisconsin.
Hope it's beautiful wherever you are in our fair state, in our phenomenal state, I should say.
Wherever you're joining us from, welcome.
We have a great show tonight.
Conrad, we got a great show.
We do.
I need a voucher.
We got a
great show.
All right, good.
I thought so.
Yeah, we got a lot going on tonight.
We're gonna do one of our fun nightlight quizzes tonight with one of our guests.
Heather Hile will be here at 635.
Heather is kind of the genocid.
I think she took our first nightlight quiz and I thought she was an expert at Friends because I said, how much
do
you know about Friends?
It was the anniversary
of the day the show dropped, and Heather said, her response was, we were on a break, which is what Ross says about Rachel.
So I thought, oh, she knows everything.
She can handle whatever we throw at her, and I think she went 0 for 10.
And
she said, I'm not an expert.
I
said, well, why did you respond like I felt horrible about it?
You know, because she's a really sharp, intelligent person.
but I think she bit off more than she could chew that night.
What did you make sure she's an expert on the topics that we're going to do?
I think she's
an expert enough.
I did a little bit of research.
She said sports movies.
I kind of expanded that to movies that were shot in Wisconsin and I added some Packer movies in there.
So I think she'll do okay.
I think we're staying in her wheelhouse.
Heather Heil will be here at 6.35 tonight.
She's always fun because she comes into the studio.
And she will be here to tell us what's going on at the Green Bay Children's Museum.
She's the business development director there.
That's her day job.
She's also very tied into everything going on in Green Bay.
So she might have some draft information for us.
I'm excited for that.
I need all the information I can get.
It sounds like you had something backfire on you.
You had a place to stay.
Well, even though you have your own crib here.
Well, all right.
So the plan was is that
You know, I have some friends coming up from, you know, down south and one from Rhode Island.
And, um, well, the plan was we were going to split with one of my friends.
He has a cabin in Ocanto and then I have an apartment down here.
So it was going to split, you know, just
perfect.
But it turns out we can't use this cabin until Saturday.
So now I have, I have some people, a lot of people staying at my apartment.
So now you're gonna go up on Saturday and it's gonna turn into like a horror film like a cabin in the woods It's like seven friends got together,
you know, I enjoy the
draft
What's actually funny about that is we did a prank at one of our friends doing that once we stayed there a couple times already and One time he was in the camper that's outside of the cabin We played bear noises you played what bear noises
How'd you get bear noise?
Who
has
bear
noises at the ready?
You two.
You got a speaker and then we started like pushing the camera.
Oh, that's
funny.
And he calls us and goes, guys, there's a pair outside.
You know, you have to be scared.
You have to be careful.
When you scare someone, like when I was, I think I was like late high school and my buddy Rob, we all hung out at his house.
He had a full court basketball hoop or playing basketball.
He has to give someone a ride home.
and we all pulled out like we were leaving.
There was like five of us.
So the second he was out of sight, we went back to his house, parked behind the garage, and we all went inside the house to freak him out.
So he gets back like 10 minutes later, we all are like upstairs hiding in his room, in the hallway, in the bathroom.
We're gonna freak the living daylights out of him.
Well, we hear him getting the house, his family was out of town, they were up at their cottage, and he's got his dog Buffy.
We hear Rob come in and the house is dark.
He's already scared.
He says, Buffy, get up there.
Go on upstairs, Buffy.
Come on, Buffy, go on there.
So he's obviously freaked out.
We're all hiding.
You know that feeling like you have to go to the bathroom because you're so intense and you have to hide?
We're all nervous to scare him.
We all jump out and he freaks out.
He's holding a knife.
Like that's how scared he was.
Like one of us could have died trying
to scare
our friend who obviously
had
a lot
going on in his head.
I don't know who he thought was there.
It was like Ed Gein or Dahmer or something.
Dahmer hadn't even happened yet.
But oh my God, like you really have to be careful if you're going
to
free people out, you know?
That reminds me of a time I was, had some friends in my basement when I lived in Camelsport and my parents were gone and I had, I still, I had two cats and a cat made a noise upstairs.
And for some reason we all thought it was someone intruding.
A meow.
So I grabbed like a screwdriver from the basement.
Oh, man.
And I had it.
I was like, guys, I don't want to go out like this.
And you stabbed your own cat.
No, that's good.
All right.
So we got sidetracked.
Heather Heil is here tonight.
She's going to take one of our awesome nightlight quizzes.
It'll be really fun.
She's a blast.
She'll tell us what's going on at the Green Bay Children's Museum.
And then this is kind of fun, too.
I've talked about this a little bit last week after the Wisconsin Film Festival.
Brewmaster at Flix Brewhouse in Madison.
I talked to him today.
Dave Hanson is his name.
Great guy, great Brewmaster.
He's got a really cool gig.
I mean, the guy walks around this awesome movie theater and creates beer.
What a gig.
I forgot to tell you, I tried the Nightlight Beer over the weekend.
Oh, you took it home?
Yeah.
Oh, it was, I usually am not a fan of IPAs, but it wasn't.
It didn't have too much of that IPA taste.
It was fruity.
It was nice.
It was very refreshing.
It was enjoyable beer.
I'm glad to hear that.
I bought one of those athletic.
That's all the rage right now.
Yes, those are actually really good.
I had their hazy IPA thinking, oh, that's what Dave made.
Maybe it'll taste like the nightlight beer, but it doesn't have alcohol.
So I tasted it and it tasted like I was drinking a liquid pine cone.
It was not good.
So.
But I knew at the film festival, people in the bar that weren't drinking were drinking athletics.
So I gotta try the golden, I think it's called golden.
So I'll try that one next.
My brother really likes that
one.
Okay.
All right, I'll try
that
too.
Cause anyway, Dave will be here.
He's a great brewmaster.
He made this great beer called Hazed on Radio, Nightlight Inspired.
And he told me that it was selling two to one over all the other local brews.
that Flix was offering.
So today I found out there's still some left.
So we're going to try to make a mad dash here to the finish line and get this nightlight IPA, this hazed on radio sold.
So Dave will be here at 735.
That will be fun.
Last night, we had a, I thought that was a fun question.
What's your favorite chick flick?
Oh yeah.
So tonight's question is kind of a
tangential revisiting of that, in a way, it's female geared.
And I will tell you what the question is right after this.
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.
Who is your favorite female sitcom actress?
I guess I could just say who's your favorite sitcom actress not I don't have to say female because I think that's implied who is your favorite sitcom actress so many and I think if I were to start You kind of have to say I mean I have to say Mary Tyler more because she was so Influential for women in television and opened a lot of doors.
I read this article recently where she
stood up for the network.
She had been on the Dick Van Dyke show.
Hollywood loved her, but she said she didn't want to be married on the Mary Tyler Moore show.
She didn't want to be divorced and she didn't want to have a boyfriend.
And the studio didn't know what to do with that.
So she and her husband at the time, Grant Tinker, the other partner in MTM Productions, walked away.
They said, no.
And the studio caved.
And they said, we want oversight over every script.
And they said, okay.
And then they just kind of did their own thing.
And the show was a massive hit.
But when you think about that, in the early 70s, a woman who was the lead in a sitcom had to either be divorced, married, looking for love, or have a boyfriend.
And Mary Tyler Moore said, no.
So she's on my list just for that alone.
That takes major guts.
But I think from pure laughs,
I'm gonna say Laurie Metcalf from Roseanne.
Brilliant, brilliant comedic actress.
And to me, the best thing about that show, even though I love John Goodman.
And I would give Julia Louis-Dreyfus a second.
What do you think, man?
You got one?
I do got one.
And I was thinking about this, and I think it's Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe Buffet.
Oh, she's great, yeah.
Every time she's on camera on the show, it's a laugh.
Yeah.
So funny, and I think she's better than any of the other characters on Friends, so.
Really?
So
she's your favorite friend?
I think it changed, because it used to be Chandler, but I think Lisa made me laugh a little bit more.
She's very funny, very, very talented.
This will be interesting because Matt Miller will be here tomorrow night, and he said he did a Facebook post the other day where he's
Watching he's rewatching friends and he's really digging it.
Yeah, so we'll ask Matt about that and hard to argue Lisa Kudrow is great She had another hit in the comeback and I think anytime someone can have two hits as an actor on a sitcom or a comedy That's pretty impressive.
So mine Mary Tyler Moore Just from a trailblazing standpoint Laurie Metcalf
from a funny standpoint, and Julio Weidreifus from, as Elaine on Seinfeld, top to bottom, just great.
Conrad says, Lisa Kudrow.
So what do you say?
855-752-4842-855-75 civic.

Very easy to use.
If you haven't downloaded the Civic Media app, get to it, folks.

folks We'd love to read your texts on the radio.
Who is your favorite sitcom actress?
So This is funny I'm you know, I'm on blue sky.
I'm trying to like create this identity.
I have I've had people on this show Charlie Barron has a
100 million followers, this Craig Benzine had a million YouTube followers, all these great influencers.
And I got to get more.
So I joined Blue Sky.
And again, I'm getting all the girls looking for love
who
aren't
really
girls.
And they say the same thing.
In their profile, I've had four people follow me in the last three days.
And it says, all I seek is love and peace of mind.
All four girls verbatim.
All of them have the same thing.
All of
them have the same thing.
This has
to be some
operation out of Moscow.
We'll get to the bottom of it, folks.
Heather Heil here in studio at 6.35.

Tom from New Berlin checks in, says, vintage is the Golden Girls recently Jean Smart and Hannah, oh boy, Jean Smart.
I gotta add her to my list too.
And Hannah Endbinder, great comedic chemistry.
Nice.
Very well done, Tom.
Anna from Madison says, Hi, Pete and Conrad, my favorite sitcom actress is Valerie Harper.
I loved her as Rhoda.
I also like Leah Remini and Patricia Heaton.
There you go.
Patricia Heaton from Everybody Loves Raymond, Leah Remini from King of Queens.
Two great shows there.
Very well done.
Thank you, Anna.
Paula, Conrad's mom checking in says, Betty White is the funniest.
Hard to argue with that, Paula.
Another one I just kind of didn't think about, Betty White from The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
I think she was on The Golden Girls too.
Great responses so far.
Bridget from the 818 says, Betty White is very funny.
Another vote for Betty White.
Bridget says, Grandma Peg says Lucille Ball, another trailblazer.
Great responses.
Tom from New Berlin also says that Mary Tyler Moore was a boyhood crush.
Yeah, for all of us, Tom, no kidding.
Beautiful, beautiful, funny, great actress and a TV trailblazer.
A treasure, Mary Tyler Moore.
Craig Anthony Kinnit checks in on the stream and says, when I was in high school, I thought that Suzanne Summers was a brilliant actress for all the wrong reasons.
Today, I'd say that Tina Fey is up there as well as the sister on Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
That's a great text, Craig, top to bottom.
Thank you for coming clean with Suzanne Summers.
Bad choice anyway.
He says, and then Tina Fey is great too.
But the fact that you can't remember the name of the actress on Always Sunny in Philadelphia probably says she's not in Tina Fey's league.
And you know what?
Suzanne Summers was good on Three Is Company.
She played a ditzy kind of airhead very well.
And she's not like that in real life.
So you could argue she's great.
So great tech so far.
Bridget from 818 also says Eden Schurr from the middle.
So funny.
Who
is
that?
Do you know who that is, Conrad?
Going to the Google right now.
Go to the Google.
Eden.
Maybe that's a
voice text?
I
don't know who Eden sure is.
That doesn't sound
familiar.
No, she is in the middle.
She plays Sue Heck in the middle.
Oh, Sue's very funny.
I've never seen the middle, so yeah.
It's got nice moments.
She, that's a great choice, because I kind of remember that show, and I remember her standing out.
Yeah, Bridget says Sue Heck and Patricia Heaton.
I think is the mom on the middle too, right?
So that's another hit for her.
She's a she's a two-timer But Sue is very funny So all right, Heather Heil is coming up.
She's gonna take one of our nightly quizzes Our question of the night is who was your favorite sitcom actress?
I said Mary Tyler Moore Laurie Metcalf from Roseanne and Julie Louis-Dreyfus from Seinfeld.
I know I'm listening three.
That's
I don't know if that's allowed or not, but it is my show, so there you go.
Conrad says, Lisa Kudrow.
Tough to argue with that one, too.
Another great one.
Tyler from the Wisconsin Rapids says, I loved Bailey from WKRP in Cincinnati.
Whatever happened to her?
Isn't that part of the intro song, Tyler?
Whatever happened, I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati.
Maybe she's still there.
Yeah, Bailey was great, because everybody, like...
Lonnie Anderson was like this blonde bombshell.
And I remember everybody in school talking about how, cause she's so, she's so like, she's just a bombshell.
She got the blonde hair and she wore those tight dresses.
She was a conversation piece for middle and high schoolers.
But Bailey had the smart, pretty, sharp on the ball look.
She was great too.
It was like half the guys I remember loved Bailey.
The other half were like Lonnie Anderson people.
Yes, Jan Smithers.
That's Bailey, right?
No,
who's Jan Smithers?
That's, yeah, that's Bailey.
Oh, is the actress Jan
Smithers?
Yes.
Okay, great.
Yes.
Nice work.
All right, Tyler, thank you.
Who is your favorite?
Sitcom actress.
There are so many.
I actually do have one more.
Alison Hannigan.
I'm guessing you can know where she...
How I met
your mother.
Yeah, she plays she plays Lily.
She's from bandcamp or
yes, American Pie Well, no that that is a bandcamp.
That was the sequel, right?
That was American Pie Bandcamp.
Yes.
That's the first time I saw her But no, she's she's great, you know, I met your mother.
So yeah, I'd say those two are mine
We have
This is interesting.
In my beats tomorrow, I talk about Katy Perry who went into space with five other women, compliments of Jeff Bezos and his Blue Origin company.
You know, I'm so tired of billionaires doing crap that means nothing.
How much did it cost to send six women all wearing bell-bottom pants, very snug outfits, including his wife Lauren Sanchez?
into space for eight minutes.
I know they have to do it because they can do it, but why?
Because it's a private company.
We've already been to space.
We have enough problems here.
Stop looking at Mars.
We have a planet that works.
It's beautiful.
It has natural resources if we take care of them.
I gotta be honest, I could not care less that Katy Perry went into space and Gail King went and Lauren Sanchez and three other women who
Cares.
You see what Katy Perry did after she landed?
Kiss the ground.
What did she do?
She kissed the
ground.
Yeah,
that's what people
do.
I
kiss the ground after I get out of a car when I'm a passenger and someone's speeding.
I love the ground.
I love Earth.
But she, you know, they broke the plane of the outer space barrier and came right back down.
Big whip.
You almost do that when you're in a 747.
And I just don't, unless there's something like they're bringing minerals back to save people, this is so pointless and stupid.
It's a publicity stunt.
Having said that, I'm going to space tomorrow.
Wow, really?
Elon Musk, yeah, he's gonna send me in the space.
We're gonna do a nightlight broadcast from space.
Heather Heil is here, folks.
She's the business director, business development director at the Green Bay Children's Museum.
She will be here in studio momentarily.
We are awaiting her arrival.
She will be coming in via spacecraft from the outer.

network
in Green Bay.
We are rocking out to some Springsteen here.

Daniel Wheeler on the text line or from the social media post says, any polar as Leslie, is it Canope or Nope?
You guys watch Parks and Rec?
I think it's Nope.
Yeah, that sounds right.
I think it's Nope.
Okay.
Cause I know
a guy,
a comedian.
Nope.
Who spells it that way?
He uses the K and Craig Canit.
on the text line.
Anyway, Daniel Wheeler says, Amy Pollard, that's a great one too, Daniel.
Thank you for playing my friend.
And Craig on the text line says, Caitlin Olson, Dee on Always Sunny.
Oh, there it is.
But he just Googled her.
I'm sure she's still very funny.
He says also Kristen Wiig and anything she touches.
Has she done sitcoms though?
I love Kristen Wiig.
No, I just think movies, right?
I mean like Bridesmaids and... I think you're right.
Yeah.
And then Craig says, and
Marge Simpson for the win.
Actually,
she has a new sitcom called Palm Royale.
Oh, yes, she does, and I
watched the show.
I mean, that show is really good.
I really enjoyed it.
I love that show too.
Ricky Martin is in there.

Hey, that's the voice of Heather Howe.
My guest, she's the business development director.
of the Green Bay Children's Museum.
Welcome back.
Hi, thank you.
It's been a little while.
Good to see you.
I know, has it?
It has been.
It always feels that way.
To the point where you
were thinking it was getting weird?
Yeah, where I was like, didn't we break up?
Did I do something the last time?
Like, I didn't come in studio or I was at home and he was like, no, we're breaking up.
Or maybe it's the fact that I come in here and I'm like, so you told me you want to talk about this, but I'm going to derail everything and
we're going to talk about this.
I don't think we've ever had a guest breakup.
Have we?
I don't think so.
Okay.
Everyone
is welcome.
I don't, don't let me be the
first.
No, you were,
listen.
Okay.
I did
ask you
though.
I know.
You did a couple of times.
Yes.
You're a busy guy.
You're a busy girl.
You got important people.
I do.
You do.
I'm a
very important person.
Can I tell you my favorite?
My favorite?
Sitcom actress?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Is going to be a national treasure.
Okay.
Catherine
O'Hare.
Oh, she.
From Schitt's Creek.
She is fantastic.
Now she's movies we normally think of her up,
right?
Yeah, but she's Yeah, my favorite in everything.
I just I think she's fantastic.
I just started watching her new show the studio.
Yeah
What did you think Conrad?
I think it's pretty funny.
You do I'm having a hard time with it like my anxiety is going through the roof because I'm like, what is he doing?
He needs to stop himself
Wow
The third episode had me like boiling.
Okay, I only got through two and then I was like,
oh,
I need a break or a shot or a cigarette or something.
It's a comedy.
It's a comedy.
It's actually the acting I think is really pretty fantastic.
What is the lead actor's name?
Seth Rogen.
Yes.
Oh, cause Conrad loves Seth Rogen.
Does you?
Yeah.
Does you?
Wait, you're talking to the studio.
I think you're
talking about Palm Royale.
No, I
know
the
studio.
The studio, I think it just dropped like last week.
It
did.
Three weeks ago, it came out, and now they're on episode four this week, I believe.
So today, actually, they have a new episode today.
Ooh,
very
good.
I can't stand that nonsense.
I can't either.
You just need to binge it.
I also really love the Righteous Gemstones, and I can't think of the actress's name that's in there, the woman actress in there.
I think she does a really fantastic job.
She swears a lot.
But she does
her
work.
I feel like she's probably.
No, she's really a sweet woman, but she...
because I follow her on Instagram.
So the role I think is really like out of her, Edie
Patterson.
Patterson, Edie Patterson.
Yeah.
She's great.
I haven't seen the Righteous Gemstones.
I haven't either.
But I think
she is.
It's about a religious family that grows up with the dynasty and like the mega church.
And it's pretty funny.
I did see, and I know it's
Danny McBride who I
like,
but it's.
I know there's one scene, I was at a friend's house over the weekend and another friend who was there said, I have to show you the scene.
Oh boy.
And it's Walton Goggins water skiing naked.
Completely
naked.
Yeah, there's a lot of him being naked in the show.
He just likes to be naked.
He admitted, I don't have a problem with, we're about to get off on a tangent here.
But it's been sticking in my craw and I've been, I've meant to make it the question of the night, but I haven't done it yet.
All these guys appearing naked.
and using
prosthetics.
I love it.
Oh, is it prosthetics?
Yes.
Are you sure?
I'm positive.
How do you know?
Because about three weeks ago, I started going, wait a minute.
All these dudes, no, I'm sorry.
The guy from White Lotus, season two.
I haven't watched that yet.
Okay.
If you watched Westworld, and then this, you know, Walton Guyants who said he had a prosthetic.
And I'm like, women have been naked for years.
regardless of their endowments or body types or whatever.
But why are men, if you're that bold, be naked.
Yeah, be naked.
Expose yourself.
Show the real self.
Show the real body.
Yeah.
Baby Billy, I don't think that was real.
I'm just gonna say.
This is Baby Billy.
From the Righteous Gemstones.
There was the Jetski guy.
Is that their Long Dragons?
Yeah, he just is like standing there.
And I'm like, whoa.
I mean,
it's just like, it might as well be AI.
Okay.
You know?
Yeah.
I just, I have a problem with that.
I feel like-
Women do it?
Men should do it too.
When I was
naked in a movie, I didn't have that option.
What movie was this?
Whoa, wait a minute.
No, I've never done it.
And we used to have this conversation around the dinner table sometimes.
I remember my brother was pursuing acting.
It was a long time ago.
I was like, would you show your butt in a movie?
Would you show this in a movie?
And he's like, no, I wouldn't.
Like on a moral thing.
And I'm like, look, if Robert De Niro did it in Dear Hunter, he ran naked
down the
street,
It's just a body.
So what?
So you would do it.
Well, I don't know if I do it now.
It looked disgusting.
But from the film perspective, do you know ahead of time that there's a nude scene?
Do they tell you?
Yeah, I think we'll
over it with you.
Yeah, that would have to be worked out ahead of time and probably contractually.
So I don't know.
I just think it's unfair.
I think it's sort of, and I'm not, look, I consider myself a good guy.
I'm typically on the side of people who are
trying to strive for justice and social justice and gender justice.
I just think it's not fair.
Like, I wanna say, I'm sorry you have a little thing, but so what?
It's a movie.
People, you know, George Costanza had shrinkage
and
they
did a whole thing on that.
They talked about that.
So people know
about it.
They know, they're not expecting you to put your best foot forward
when you're
naked in a movie and it's cold.
Pete, I feel that the movie Pretty Woman that
Julia Roberts used a body double in some of that.
I'm not saying it's
never been done.
Right.
So I feel that women sometimes do it too.
I see what you're saying about equality.
I'm done with like, let's just be ourselves.
Let's not, everything doesn't have to be, and part of this to blame, in my opinion, is like the Kardashians and like having all these surgeries to try to look like a doll.
I have no patience for that kind of stuff.
Well, we talked about this the last time I was here.
About the woman, no, about the woman who had a bunch of plastic surgery from the Dumb and Dumber movies.
How beautiful she was, how beautiful she is now, yeah, Lauren Holly.
She's still beautiful, but you look at her and you think, oh man.
She was in my film, The Godfather of Green Bay, she's stunning.
She's a beautiful lady, like embrace that beauty.
Did we talk about that?
We did.
I typically
would not.
I don't think I would go I because I don't know if she's I if you're saying that I believe you
I don't I feel that yes, she has one yet her forehead.
I think she
had calf
implants I don't know about that.
I don't know that well Come on now.
Um, all right, so
guess what we haven't talked about anything that we were supposed to
let's see if we can keep that going a Charles
Now here's another one, no Kraus, I think it's his name, because I saw the K, but I know my glasses on.
Traus Kraus says Betty White too, that's the third vote for
Betty White.
And
I
guess we've got a Todd Michaels comment.
Yeah, on the stream.
Hello Todd.
Putting your
best foot forward, are we talking feet?
No Todd.
My best foot.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
Leave it to Todd.
I know, he's on it.
If you need a nickel for every.
accidental innuendo I made on this show.
I'd have probably not
a couple bucks.
But that's what makes a good producer, Toddles.
We love you.
I miss you.
Yeah,
Todd's the best.
And is this beard growing back?
I haven't seen Toddles.
Oh, it's growing back fast.
Really?
Yeah.
He's already rocking the full beard again already?
Yeah.
Really?
Well, not the
full full.
Is he got like a
Sean Hannish kind of beard going there?
He might.
He might.
We need a selfie, Todd.
Phenomenal beard.
Let's see what you got.
Dave on the stream says, Christy McNichol back in the day.
Oh yeah.
Family.
Remember that show,
Family?
No, I don't know that.
I don't either.
I'm not old enough.
Thank you, Dave.
All right.
So we don't have to.
So all right,
we've
tackled prosthetics.
We've tackled.
What do we got here?
So you brought me leftovers and I want to thank you for
that.
And
I want to apologize.
I told you I'm fasting.
I'm doing a 36 hour fast.
So I hate when people bring in stuff.
that smells great, not that you would do it, because it's the thought that counts, but it tempts me.
And I don't even get that hungry, like it's not that difficult anymore, but man, that.
That smelled good.
It was good.
I went to Copper State with my friend Craig and Dan, and we had some little snacky snacks, and we had the Thai Brussels sprouts from there and their bruschetta, and there was, of course, leftover.
It was terrible.
Did you eat them yet?
It was so terrible.
Conrad?
Conrad, it's really good.
So
terrible.
It's so good.
Now you're trash and the established.
No, I'm not.
I just hope it's good.
No, it's very good, and I thought I would share the wealth.
I didn't know you were doing the fasting, so I apologize.
No, look, it was very nice to be thought of.
Do you had a cocktail with someone from law enforcement?
No doubt planning a sting operation here tonight at WGBW.
Always,
yeah.
How did that go?
Was there good cocktailing?
I
had a little glass of wine and he had some beers.
Well, one, because you know we're driving and we're responsible adults.
So just a little something with dinner.
And I needed to relax to come in here because I was nervous.
Oh, come on.
I'm just kidding, no.
What kind of a drinker would you say you are?
Are you a lush?
Can you pack it away as they say?
What kind of booze does Heather typically
have?
Usually during the week, we'll have a glass of wine with dinner, and then on the weekends, maybe a couple of carblists, but
it just
depends.
How big is that glass
of wine with dinner?
Is it a good
service?
But I have a glass of wine.
I don't know, like a little pour, just a little, yeah, nothing much.
So you like it to
compliment the meal?
I do.
You're not like on a mission every
night, okay.
And it's not every night either, it's just more of like a...
and enjoying the wine and the dinner.
I'm gonna segue into the children's museum
and find out how much you drink.
Where do you stand on day drinking?
Well, depends on the day.
I have to say, I haven't had a drink in quite a while, but I used to love when I didn't have anywhere to go and there's like a sporting event.
Hacker games are my favorite.
Like if there is a noon game and you are out there at 9 a.m.
amongst all of that, like.
Yeah.
Yes.
It's fun.
When I lived in LA, the game started at 10 a.m.
So
we'd get our spot at a place and I'd drink Bloody Mary's.
And the
game my team would have lost, because I'm a bear fan, they would have lost by one o'clock and I can go home and take a nap
and then wake up and watch the Sunday Night
Football game.
But it's fun.
I mean, I love the good, I love Good Bloody
Mary.
It's a social thing for me to be with my peers and just having fun and social thing.
It's not usually a crazy.
That's how it starts though.
Yeah, sometimes it does though, where else in your
life, whoa.
Funwheel is calling.
We have a text for Heather.
You do?
Yeah, from the 920.
Listening in WGBW, 920 says, snacky snacks plus beer plus Heather equal fun.
Yes.
Could that be
your law enforcement partner there?
I
don't know.
Does that
number look familiar?
No, I don't know who that is.
No.
But you sound, I'm getting a nice, like I can smell a little bit of alcohol in your breath and
that's making me feel good.
Can
you really?
A little bit, not an obnoxious amount.
It was just a little pino.
Really?
I'm sorry.
The pino is the worst.
That's what stays with you.
All right, so we have a lot to catch up on.
Are we already up?
920, why don't we have a 920 day?
Like a 920, why don't we celebrate that?
Can we have a day?
It's 920 day.
And that's like 420?
Yeah,
but you just do other things, like have Brussels sprouts and wine.
So wait, I
think this is your law enforcement friend, because I think that's what I asked, and they responded.
Hi, Craig.
I don't know him well enough to call him Craigers.
Yeah,
don't call him Craggers.
He doesn't like that, right?
I don't think I don't think you should call him.
If my name were Craig and someone called me Craggers, I would probably try to make a citizen's arrest.
Probably.
For
harassment, because I don't like that either.
I'm still trying to figure out Conrad's little pet name, though.
I don't have one for him yet.
K-Red.
You know.
Con.
It's Con.
The Conny.
Con.
I know, but it needs like a Y, a sing-songy thing, like Craggers and paddles, and yeah, they're just more...
Conners.
Mine are called me Convoy for a while, so... Did that take?
Did
that stick with you?
by anyone other than Mino.
I don't think so.
Jim did it too, didn't he?
Didn't they both call
you Jim?
No, he goes by Khan.
That's it.
Jim bailed.
He didn't want to give Mino the satisfaction.
Khan air.
Khan air.
Oh, that's
a good one.
Khan air with a K.
Yeah.
Tom from New Berlin says, Pete, I love Earth until I hit my golf club into Earth instead of the ball.
Well, that's why I don't
golf.
I feel that.
I feel that.
I would still kiss the ground after a bad golf swing.
How do you pronounce this, Heather?
Ryn?
Ryn?
Probably Ryan.
Um, I would say maybe rain, rain, rain, rain.
From Madison.
Let's just say.
R, Y, N, rain.
From the 608.
Jane.
From the 608.
Please.
Daphne Moon on Frazier.
Oh
yeah, she's great.
Oh yeah, that's a good one too.
She's fantastic.
Okay, we are coming right back.
How are we doing on time here, Connor?
Oh, we're good.
Okay.
Heather's here.
We haven't even gotten to one question yet, so
we're gonna
jump into the question.
She's gonna tell us what's going on at the Green Bay Children's Museum, and she's gonna take our movie and Wisconsin Sports Quiz.
It's Pete Chihuahua and
Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
What is that?
A pamphlet?
It's a draft guide that I found over at Copper State.
And one of my favorite things so far for real with this draft is all of these pamphlets with everything that's going on.
So even if you live here locally, you need to pick these up and look at what's going on in your community because it's like really fun stuff.
But I did learn about Delevin.
Have you ever been to
Delevin?
I did stand up there on the 90s.
It looks like it's a cool place.
I've never been to Deleven before, and I kind
of
want to go there.
Um, it says recreational lakes, dining, pristine golf courses, historic downtown, great shopping, beautiful parks, unique attractions.
Deleven.
Road trip.
Who knew?
Hey, this
is Pete
Schwab at Nightlight.
Welcome back.
Hi.
So where did you get?
Why is Delevin in the draft?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Trying to get
people to get hotel rooms
from Delevin to the draft?
I think so.
To like go tour our state and see everything that's great here.
But I'm telling you, if you're local, pick these things up.
Absolutely.
Because there's cool stuff going on.
Todd Michaels, who made the inappropriate joke before, said that...
the hotel rooms aren't, there are still some left, I guess.
Correct.
I've heard the same.
What do you
make of that?
You're a Green Bay girl.
I think that there's a couple of different factors going on with the hotel stays, because I've heard from people that are renting out their houses, anyone that I know that's renting out their house, aside from the mayor, which I don't know if he is or not.
He's doing that?
I think so, he was going to.
They all know the people that are staying in their house, like, oh yeah, my brother-in-law is coming from Florida and staying in my house, so it's not any new.
Okay,
random person just coming in but I mean there I'm sure there's that happening, but I I don't know what's really happening I don't think we know what to expect with this draft.
It's gonna be busy Is it gonna be all local people?
Maybe?
Was you will not be able to get a hotel room?
Mobile Alabama is gonna be booked like it was
yeah doom and gloom with everything Yeah, there's still availability with rooms and granted you get closer in the
the rates are going to go up, but that's going to happen.
I've also heard, you know, traffic is going to be an issue and, you know, to be here.
Well, yeah, stay off the main, I mean, it's like a packer game.
Stay off those major roads.
You know, the back roads people.
Yeah.
Conrad and I are staying at Jim's house that week.
Are you the ones renting?
Yes.
Okay, perfect.
He's got bunk beds.
You're sleeping here.
His wife
usually sleep in the bunk beds, but Conrad
and I are going to take it.
Where's the dog going to go?
Well, actually, you see that chair behind you.
That's where I'm sleeping.
Hey,
you know what?
That's not a bad idea.
We're getting air mattress.
We've got Steve says, Gilda Radner, still the funniest of the Saturday Night Live
actresses.
Yeah,
Gilda.
That's a great text.
Thank
you, Steve.
Yeah, that was.
And did you actually see the Saturday Night Live documentary on Netflix right now?
I still heard that too.
Yeah, it's pretty great.
I've heard it's
really outstanding.
And
Craig, Officer Craig confirmed that was Craig.
Oh, it is.
Thank you, Craigers.
Hello, my friend.
Thank you for being.
Snack of these snacks
plus beer plus Heather equals fun.
Okay, so let's talk about the draft and the children's museum.
Let's
talk about the children's museum
because this is
a big day for you.
It is a big day for us.
Tell us
please why this is a big day for you, Heather Heil and the
Green Bay children.
Today is... Yeah, you almost forgot.
my 13th anniversary with the Children's Museum of Green Bay.
Where's the bell?
Do we have like a ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding?
Yes, 13 years I've been serving the community and the families and our museum and we're growing and doing all sorts of crazy stuff.
We're in a capital campaign right now.
Wow.
So we're building on.
So if you'd like to be a part of that fun, please give me a call or email.
I'd love
to talk to you.
So how would people
do
that if they wanted to get a hold of you for something like that?
Through our website, I'm right on there.
You see my photo and you can.
Click right
there.
Okay, that's fantastic.
Well, congratulations.
13 years at the same location.
Same location.
And you're
still crushing it.
You must still love it.
I love it.
I do.
I love it so much.
And it's always changing.
And even with this draft, like it gives me reason to be creative with things of like, okay, the draft is coming to our community.
How can we involve families in that?
So we came up with this really brilliant idea to have families in our community.
So you listening out there, not necessarily tourists,
you
here because kids have office school.
You're looking for things to do.
can come to the museum and you can tailgate together in our parking lot before we open.
So bring your tailgate stuff.
Let your kids tailgate.
We'll have some fun kids games.
And then inside we're going to do like a steam event with.
the draft.
So it's a ticket tailgate takeover.
So the Green Bay Packers are allowing us to let your children sign up to be on the season ticket waiting list for Packer tickets.
You'll get a little sticker.
It'll be like a mini combine.
So we'll let you do, you know, no contact like running and we'll 40 yard dash and that kind of thing as well as their equipment team.
The equipment manager, Chris Keane, gave us a bunch of equipment, helmets, and pads,
and actual shoes
that you'll be able to try on and put your hands on and learn.
And hopefully, you know, do your own little drafting thing.
So this is happening on the Friday of the draft.
So before the draft opens at noon that day.
That's a
week from this coming
Friday.
On that Friday.
So we do ask if you are tailgating just to let us know.
So I make sure to reserve a spot for you.
We are a children's museum.
So we ask that no alcohol be brought on premises while you're doing
that.
Even the tailgaters?
Even the tailgaters.
You're bringing your families.
So you can come and do that and then come into the museum.
And it's all included with your paid admission, which is $8.
person.
That is a steal.
How do you
not do
that?
That's fantastic.
So come burn off some energy.
Is that your idea?
Be a part.
Yeah, it was part of my
collaborative.
Yeah.
I have a team.
I have a really great team.
Okay.
Yeah.
Jet GPT.
So let's just, we can, we can, I want to remind people of that again after the news, but this is a big day.
I want to celebrate Heather because 13 years and here's the thing, like you've been there.
I'm sure they, here's the problem though.
See, if I were your agent, I would say I am not married to Green Bay.
Don't think I want to take a better
gig at like
the crazy Guggenheim Museum in New York
or something, but
if they know you're here and you love the area, you
know.
I do.
Big fish, little pond.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Actually, I do.
It's a challenging role for me.
It's continually changing.
My title keeps changing.
The museum keeps changing.
Again, I mean, look at even when we had the pandemic with COVID of how we were able to, we're a police touch, but like learn through.
Yeah.
And we're like,
okay, don't touch.
And then we were trying to teach children to talk to adults without a mask on and stranger danger.
And so that's been really exciting to work through that.
with families and grow together.
You can't ever
leave.
You're too much a part of the
community and it's so
funny.
And who would come in here after knocking down a bunch of booze?
Okay, easy
tiger.
I'm joking.
And Craig
also said, please don't
craggers.
You got
it buddy.
I'm not going to mess with
the
police.
All right, Heather Heil is here.
We'll have more with Heather.
She's going to take our sports movie quiz
and our Wisconsin movie
quiz that's coming up after the news, which you are definitely going to want to hear.
Let Civic Media keep you informed.
It's Pete Schwabba and Nightlight.
