Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now, a guy who likes pina coladas, but hates getting caught in the rain, Pete Schwabba.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to hour two of this Tuesday night edition of Nightlight with Pete Schwabba.

I am your host, Pete Schwabba, and I am joined here in the studio right now by Green Bay Children's Museum, director of business development.

But don't let that fool you, folks.

She will take a gig at the Guggenheim or the Science and Industry

Museum.

I'm in,

yeah.

if there's like a signing bonus and a podium, she can be swayed.

It's great to have you with me tonight here on Nightlight.

Our question of the night is, who is your favorite sitcom actress?

And I would say Betty White maybe is in the lead or to say.

From her

since I've been here, there's been a lot of Betty Whites.

Three or four

Betty Whites.

Lee from Depeer says over the text line, I heard Miss Heather likes my ties.

Lee I do I do this is a true statement only if they do not have pineapple juice in them Pineapple juice or orange juice should not be in a traditional Mai Tai.

I mean they can be but yeah, I don't like no

Is that your favorite

drink?

It's one of my favorites

what you're if you had to have if you could only have one more cocktail

You know what it depends on where I am if I'm listening to jazz I want a really dirty martini about the martini if I'm at a tailgate I want a carbless if I'm

It just depends on where, yeah.

Okay, at first I was hungry because I'm fasting and you brought in these Thai Brussels sprouts that

I can smell.

It's so good, sorry.

And now I haven't had a drink in like two and a half years and all I can think about is a dirty martini.

You are messing

me up tonight.

Like Ron Jeremy dirty, like yes.

So good.

Speaking of prosthetics, okay, hi-o.

Or not speaking of them.

Steve from San Prairie, that's the 608.

Steve says, my new bride, Anne, says Loretta, sweat from mash.

That's a great

one.

Oh, yes.

I forgot

about mash.

Congratulations on the new bride, Steve, and hello, Anne.

Thank you guys for listening tonight.

And then on the stream, PJ says,

S. S. Well, Rick, back at you, PJ.

Am I missing something there again?

S. What's that mean, money?

I don't know.

We need clarification, PJ.

But thank you for playing.

So we've got Heather Heil here.

She is the business development director of the Green Bay Children's Museum.

Give us another quick recap about the great event you have regarding tailgating and kids, because that sounds like fun.

And then we're going to take our movie quiz.

You got it.

A future season ticket holder tailgate event, Friday, April 25th, 9 to 12, sponsored by the Green Bay Packers Give Back.

And you can bring your family, you can tailgate in our back parking lot, and then come on into our museum.

And we have a little mini combine, sign up for season ticket holders.

You can paint yourself up like a fan, make a mascot.

you know, do all of the things.

So it's really a fun day for the kids to get involved, burn off some energy and take part in those traditions of something new that Green Bay is posturing this year.

You know,

what would be really funny is if you did this combine for kids and there's some kid that ran like a three, eight, 40.

I know we're like vertical

like 50 inches or something in the pack.

I know people.

Do you really people?

Yeah, I could be like, yeah.

Yeah.

What is getting on the packers ticket list, though, is it was like a 400?

It's like,

yeah, it's still

The Greenland Sharks

will be born and die before you get your tickets.

You will probably be 20s, 30s before you can get on that list.

However, you still need to sign up to be a season ticket holder.

So now is the time.

Bring in those kiddos.

Let's get this done.

Fair enough.

Todd from DePierre says we're learning a lot all in caps about Heather tonight.

I'm sorry.

It's kind of an open book.

I am really whatever you want to

know.

you've done radio before, you're

sort of

open anyway about stuff, you know, cause you've had quite a history, let's be honest.

I've never been up in a spaceship

though.

That I have not, yes.

All right, let's take our, all right, Heather, we'd like to give these nightlight quizzes once in a while.

We have some that are about Wisconsin or sports

or show

business or whatever.

You said I'd love to take a sports movie quiz.

I did say that and then I immediately regretted it.

Why?

Cause I was like, if it's not like feel.

to dreams or like movies I've seen, I don't know that.

I

think you'll do okay.

How I'm gonna do with this.

We kinda came up with this.

Can Conrad and I do this together?

No,

cause he created like half the questions.

Yeah,

half of mine.

Shoot.

So, well, let's start with, all right, here's a Conrad question.

All right, you ready?

All right, this is ready?

Conrad, you got the bell ready?

Can we get it in like a British accent, please?

Hold on a second.

You got this.

Two and a half minutes, Octo.

I'm gonna go with the American.

What two and a half, what two and a half men actor played the wild thing

in Major League?

He was in two and a half men.

I just said that.

Charlie Sheen.

I didn't

even have to read it.

You should see the smoke coming from my ears

right now.

I

didn't even have to read

the choice.

I

was gonna say there's multiple choice.

Conrad's questions are multiple choice.

I'm not as forgiving.

Thank you Conrad.

All right, here's another con question.

What actor played Billy Bean in Money Ball?

I'm

gonna say it was the blonde-haired guy.

He was in Oceans 11 and 12 and he was really smoking hot and he was married to Angelina Jolie.

Is that the correct actor?

Well here are your options.

Red Pit.

I didn't even see it.

Like, did you just see that?

Like, do

you know how easy Conrad is making this?

He says

no, it's not

hard.

I didn't even have to read the choices.

He said a Brad Pitt so smart be Aaron Rodgers CP Chwaba D. Jonah Hill.

I was going between Jonah Hill, but I couldn't come up with his name either.

In what movie do the average Joe's gym and Globo gym face off in the dodgeball championship?

Is it

dodgeball?

Okay, Conrad, was that a Conrad question?

Good

lord, Conrad.

If this were an IQ test, you'd be an absolute rocket

scientist right now.

I know, I'm just crushing it.

But that's

good, we like our guests to do well.

So you're three for three on the night light sports movie quiz.

What 1986 movie stars Gene Hackman as coach Norman Dale?

Okay.

Did we not just ask that question?

You just asked that question.

You just asked me that question.

So what's the question after that?

There was something about it.

I was like, who's been drinking?

Do you want me to do it?

I don't

know.

Who had the wine?

John Wick 5 dodgeball assassination.

I

gravitated back.

I'm like, what is

way.

Oh, we just read it because I saw you had hoop dreams as one of the.

Choices, that's a phenomenal film.

What about Peach Wabba can dunk?

That was a good movie too.

Yeah.

Peach Wabba could dunk.

She had a prosthetic dunk.

He couldn't dribble.

Why can't he just be himself?

I was one of the few basketball players on our team that wore a prosthetic, which

was

weird because I had shorts on,

so it

didn't really matter.

I know, I was like, what's happening?

But it helped me dunk.

I just couldn't dribble or pass or shoot.

All right, what football movie based on a true story stars Sandra Bullock?

Blindside.

She's crushing this thing.

We got to get the right questions.

She's ace.

I was nervous.

I'm like, this is gonna be terrible.

Well, we still felt, we felt bad after that Friends quiz we gave

her.

Well, but I came back and was crushed to the other quiz.

You did very well.

Mm-hmm.

All right, what movie stars Adam Sandler as Bobby Boucher?

Bobby Boucher, The Waterboy.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

I have to tell this story.

There's, I listened

to

a podcast and there was, you know, I'm a...

For college, I like Wisconsin teams.

For,

oh,

I'm a Chicagoan or that's where I sport.

So I was listening to a sports show and there's a late night host there and he was doing a draft over the phone.

and say, who do you think the bear should raft?

And one guy texted in Bobby Boucher

from

Southwest Missouri State.

And the host didn't know the movie.

And

he was trying to play along.

And he goes, well, Bobby Boucher, you know, he's a good player.

I don't think he's going to go in the first round.

Like, he had no idea

what he was talking

about.

And

the other hosts played

that over and over all day.

Like, I almost felt bad for the guy.

That's funny.

All right.

That's good stuff.

Is Heather one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight for eight?

Alright, what 2024 movie stars Zendaya as a tennis coach and former player and has transformed her husband from a mediocre player into a world famous Grand Slam champ?

I do not do we have multiple choice on this one?

Okay,

least make it sound

real like legit see tennis threesome

All right, that sounds kind of interesting.

And then D, Grand Salami Tennis.

When I said make this easy for her.

Conrad.

I didn't mean, she's not a toddler.

Okay.

My face is flushed.

It's not the wine.

a

very, very quick break.

Folks, this break is so fast.

You're not going to be blank.

We're going to be back.

Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids says, I dream of Jeanne's naughty sister too.

Oh, I don't remember.

What was he referring to, Conrad?

Yeah, I don't remember that.

You have to scroll

back.

Now I'm curious, because I loved I Dream of Jeanne.

Barbara Eden, she was great too.

Barbara from Walk of Shaw says, Edie Falco in the Sopranos and Nurse Jackie.

Yeah, that's a great one too.

Oh yeah, she's fantastic.

Lee from DePierre, Elaine Benes.

Our question of the night, folks, by the way, is who is your favorite sitcom actress?

And we've had all kinds of amazing answers.

Barb from Waukesha also says, disregard my Edie Falco text.

Those aren't sitcoms.

It's been a long time.

That's okay,

Barb, we weren't going to call you out.

Isn't Nurse Jackie, wasn't it?

I think it was a sitcom, a drama.

All

right, that is the voice of Heather Heil.

It's so fun to have Heather here.

like we always do.

And you know, Kristen Lyrely, you guys are like interchangeable almost as guests because you come on and you can just talk about anything.

I know.

Actually, I was with her significant other and my significant other before I came here.

I will not say his

name.

Craigers.

No,

Craig, that was not me.

I have too much respect for law enforcement to call you by a name you don't want

to be referred

to.

My significant other said, so what are you guys going to talk about tonight?

And I'm like, nothing that we talked about because I walk in there and it's bull in the china shop.

All

bets are off.

So and I can't remember, did you introduce me to Kristen or she introduced me to you?

I think

she introduced.

Yep.

Because she was already kind of in

the next year.

I introduced her to Mino and Mayor and then she introduced me to you because she's like, I think you do need to know each other.

Can you introduce me to Mino and the Mayor?

I sure can.

I don't return my call.

I can get you in.

All

right, sweet.

I'll slip you a double sawbuck for that.

Thank you.

All right, we've got a few more minutes with Heather, unless you want to stick around, which is fine

too.

No, I got to go.

I got to watch some more TV.

Yeah, you got to.

I got to finish my guitar documentary.

What's that?

The guy who owns the guitar shop, the famous guitar shop, they did a documentary.

I know it's my documentary club.

Already bored.

Yeah.^?

OK.

No, it's awesome.

He's like sold guitars to like.

Anybody knows anybody?

Yeah.

Is this local?

Green Bay?

No, it's like California.

Okay.

It was fun.

Like when I lived out there, you could go into guitar center

because I

play poorly, but I once in a while if I was bored or had time because I went and you could see like people like slash.

Yes.

So he would like go to this place and like that's where they would and they let you actually play there.

It wasn't like a

place.

Yeah, you just picked up a guitar.

I was at Norman's Rare Guitar.

Norman's Rare Guitar,

Conrad.

So that's good.

The

documentary I'm watching right now.

Is it a

docu-series?

Nope.

Just a documentary.

Just a documentary.

All right, let's try to get a few more questions in.

You're like, what is she, 10 for 10?

10

for 10.

Smartest guess ever.

Here are the questions that I came up with.

These are not.

Multiple choice.

Multiple choice.

Boo.

Multiple guess.

Let's start with movies that have packer themes.

OK.

This film shot in 2012 in and around Lambeau Field has a cameo by Green Bay Mayor at the time, Jim Schmidt, and has a certain yard line in the title of the film.

50 yard line.

Close.

40 yard line.

We'll accept that.

It's 60 yard

line.

60 yard line.

That's

pretty good.

That movie's 13 years old.

Yeah.

That's the movie I was an extra in.

I should have known that one.

Oh nice.

Yeah.

Okay.

I was.

This movie that often references Green Bay Packers refers to their team colors and was just released a couple months ago in theaters.

The green and gold.

Have you seen it?

Not yet.

Oh, you gotta check it out.

We were just talking about that at dinner tonight, too.

Oh, really?

I guess it's

with Craig.

See?

I'm not gonna give you this forum to insult my friend.

Yeah, you are, because you know, every time I'm gonna...

Well, he's your friend.

Craig and I know each other, but not well.

I mean, we went...

I'm trying to make you friends.

Okay, thanks, Craig.

My friends are your friends.

It's just like a blind date for a friendship.

It's not

the least bit awkward.

You're

welcome.

All right, this 20...

12 film involving the Packers explores the last day or the the last day of quarterback Brett Favre and includes Lambo in the title The whole title of the film isn't what I just read if you can remember it.

No, I don't know what you're talking about.

It's called

last thing about Mary The last day at Lambo

she got it.

Yeah, I'm defeated All right, we're gonna segue these are movies that were just shot in what?

You didn't do something about Mary.

Brett Farve was in that one.

He was.

Yeah, he's a good actor.

He was so,

so good.

He does great charity work.

All right.

In this 19, this 2009 film starring Johnny Depp as John Dillinger was shot around Oshkosh,

Wisconsin.

I saw this and I remember this.

Multiple choice.

I need... All right.

Multiple choice.

We'll say, let's say The Omen.

Nope.

Um, major league.

Nope.

Public enemies.

Yes.

Public enemies.

Very well done.

And they were in Managua and there were like bull holes and like the whole thing.

Yeah.

That's

right.

Good memory.

That's tough though when they're not.

See, I don't coddle people like Conrad does.

You are graded on a curve, but well.

Okay.

Wow.

Crack just beat.

Please arrest Heather for me.

Never.

Citizens arrest.

Freedom.

All right, I'm doing my best here, Craig.

This film starring Bob Uker and Tom Beringer was shot primarily in Milwaukee County Stadium in 1989.

Is

that the major league?

Yeah, it is.

You did that

old person thing.

Just a bit outside.

You

did that old person

thing

where you out of the.

Yeah, I'm going

to get

the cable.

The major.

Have you seen the Batman?

No, I have not.

Or the Twitter was able to, on a serious note, was just in Milwaukee and was able to pay my respects to Bob Yooker in the cemetery there.

So that was quite an amazing, like, experience.

Was he buried there?

He is.

He was a military person, so it was like really impactful for me to be, that was, I wanted to meet him and not the way I wanted to do it, but it was nice to thank him for giving a kid like me a chance in radio.

Can you

imagine Bob Yooker in the military?

Like he must have been that guy, like Bill Murray.

Oh my

gosh, for sure.

Probably wise, cracking and getting in trouble.

Such a funny

guy.

Let's try to do this.

Let's try to get a couple more in before we bring Dave, our brewmaster onto the show.

This film was released in the last few months.

This film, which was released in the last few months, looks at the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers World Series appearance, and it's titled after a famous Bob Hucker phrase.

Just a bit outside.

The

story of the 1982 Brewers.

Yes.

That's right.

Made by Sean Hannish and Kelly Call.

Great film.

I have not seen this.

I didn't realize.

I'm halfway through.

I watched it

the other night, and then I got a phone call, but I'm going to go back to it.

It's really, really good.

OK, babe.

Mark that down on our list.

All right.

This 1999 film.

David Lynchfilm is about a man unable to drive a car who rides a tractor from Iowa to Wisconsin to visit his alien brother.

Is this a film that just came out with

the...

No, 1999.

The Straight Story.

Oh, The Straight Story.

Connie got that

buzzer.

No,

no, I'm playing music now, so I can use the buzzer.

All right,

we're gonna one more quick one.

You ready, Heather?

This film from 1986 shot in and around Madison's UW campus in Stars Rodney Dangerfield.

Oh, back to school.

Yeah.

Heather Heil, ladies and gentlemen.

We

are coming right back with Brewmaster.

Thank you very

much.

Dave Hansen.

Thank you, Heather.

Thank you.

You are really good

at courses.

I adore you.

I know.

Stick around if you

want.

Man, I got to go.

She may or may not be.

I got to go.

We're

coming right back.

Welcome back to Nightlight.

I am Pete Schwab, your host for this evening's show.

Tomorrow night, we've got a lot of fun folks on the program.

We've got a lot of movie talk.

So Mike Starr will be here at 6.35.

Mike was in Goodfellas, Miller's Crossing, Dumb and Dumber.

You know Mike Starr, Conrad.

He's the guy that picked up the hitchhiker.

He's sitting right between him and he's like, guys, guys!

Mike is great.

He was phenomenal.

And he's just one of those guys who does great work in every movie he's in.

And I'm very excited to talk to him about Miller's Crossing.

So Mike will be here and that will be fun.

That's tomorrow night.

And then Matt Miller joins the show.

We're going to talk about the Milwaukee Film Festival, which is right around the corner and some movie and TV talk as well.

Going to the text line here, our question, if you want to still get in a text, you have time, is who is your favorite sitcom actress?

and Steady Eddie in the 608.

Our pal Steady Eddie says, Pete, favorite sitcom actor?

No, he said, favorite female sitcom actor.

Mary Tyler Moore in the Dick Van Dyke show, perfect storm of a sitcom, still holds up 60 years later.

I agree, Eddie.

I don't think it's the funniest show in the world still, but it's just a great watch, and I agree it holds up.

Even with the black and white, I think it's great.

Steddy Eddie continues saying, the only dunking Peachwa ever did was when he attended Duncan Donuts University on a four-year scholarship.

Actually, I walked on Eddie.

That makes it even more embarrassing.

Steddy Eddie knows way too much about me.

He says, PS, legend has it that steadfast Edward in his prime could jump and touch the rim on a 10-foot basket.

Well, who better would know that about steadfast Edward than Steddy Eddie, his alter ego?

Fantastic.

Brian from Green Bay says, Jesse Spano saved by the bell.

Oh, wow, that's going back.

That's a good one.

I like when we get something out of the blue like that.

Thank you, Brian.

That's great.

Favorite actress in a sitcom.

That's the question.

Join us.

Join the fun.

We'll read your text on the radio right now, folks.

I'm excited.

OK, so a few weeks ago.

Well a couple months ago Dave Hansen who was the brewmaster at Flix Brewhouse in Madison in the east town mall reached out and said hey how about we do a nightlight inspired Beer for the Wisconsin Film Festival, so I said forget it.

He said how about a hundred thousand dollars in your pocket?

I said let's talk

They bumped it up a little bit and we agreed.

There's no money involved here.

No money changed hands, folks.

But Dave did create a great beer called Hazed on Radio, a hazy IPA for the Wisconsin Film Festival.

I understand it sold like gangbusters, according to Dave, which was exciting.

They still have some left.

So I said, we got to have Dave on the show to get people out to flicks and finish off what's left of the Hazed on Radio IPA.

Dave joins us now via what I like to call the telephone.

Dave, how are you?

I'm doing excellent.

How are you doing?

Good.

I'm excited.

Well, I was excited when I stopped by on my way out of town last week.

You said it was outselling other local beers, two to one, which was very exciting.

And now I'm talking about it on the radio.

That probably helped.

But I think you made a great beer, too.

Yeah, that definitely makes it easier to sell.

And it actually turns out really nice.

We tasted it and we share the video of you and I tasting the Hazed On Radio today.

It's on our Facebook page.

If people wanna go to Facebook, give us a like or a follow while you're there, please.

But Dave and I toast and we taste the beer and it's kind of a, I'm gonna tell you this, Dave, when I was down in Madison for the film festival, everybody at the parties, at the after parties that wasn't drinking, was drinking this athletic beer.

And Hazed On Radio is a hazy IPA, correct?

Correct.

Okay, so I tasted it.

I tasted you said you had passion fruit in there It was very fruity very refreshing.

It was great.

So I bought one of these athletics It said hazy IPA and I tasted it and Dave it was like drinking It's like they found a way to liquefy a pine cone.

It was not that good and I thought

it's a tough balance for those the NA NA beers,

but why is it yours tasted so fresh and like

What is it the can or do they I just didn't like it at all

It's it's all between the different hops that are used the different yeast that's used and also just how fresh it is.

Yeah

Well,

I didn't ask you on to trash another beer I want to focus on your work because I thought what you did was great How much of it is left if people come out for the next week?

Will there still be haze on radio there at Flix?

Yeah, there was still be a little left.

I plan we did a pretty large amount So it was enough to I know it would the film fest would take a big dent out of it But we still got a good a good amount left.

It should Maybe even reach to the end of the month.

Oh Fantastic.

So what do we do then Dave?

Cuz I want I want hazed on radio to be like the next old style.

How do we make that happen?

People just need to drink it keep on drinking it.

Okay

Will you guys make more if you run out?

Potentially.

OK.

We've got other stuff on the docket, but we can always get it back.

All right.

I'll see what I can do.

So how was the film festival in your experience?

You're there.

I said earlier on the show, Dave, you have such a great gig.

You walk around in this cool flicks shirt.

You get to create beer.

I mean, how did you fall into this job?

This is a great gig for you.

And tell me how the festival was.

To start with the festival, the festival was fantastic this year.

This is our second year having a portion of it at Flix.

You could tell things were more ironed out than the previous year, and it went so smoothly.

It's just great to get people in to experience Flix, to experience the film fest, and it's just great to see full houses.

Yeah, it was Pat I went to see that Russ Meyer film that night.

I'm at you there and I could not believe there's like one seed left This movie that was out in the 60s.

It was like this campy movie.

It was almost a porno flick But it looked like they were crushing it and do you have to be there for stuff like that?

Like in case there's an issue with one of the beers or one of the beers you created I

tend to keep my eyes, you know

You know, I'd spend a little extra time there, but otherwise I'm I'm a phone call and you know 15 minutes away at most so if something's going Completely cuckooly I can get back in and help out

What kind of beers are your favorite to make?

To make it's tough to beat a brew day when you're brewing a dark beer like a stouter or porter Because it just with that roasted barley

It kind of, it both smells like a brewery and it has like a real roasted chocolate coffee aroma in the air.

And just smell-wise, that's like my favorite brew day.

Wow, nice.

All right, so I kind of asked you this before.

How did you end up at Flix?

Tell us a little bit about your career trajectory and how you ended up with, from the outside at least, looks like a dream gig.

Yeah, it just worked out.

So I ended up.

you know, kind of after college and everything, you know, was bartending, baking, all that kind of stuff and wanted to go to school a little more and ended up finding beer school.

So it's a master certificate program at University of California Davis.

So I just leapt in with two feet.

You know, I had done, I hadn't really done any home brewing, anything like that.

I did a batch of cider.

at home and I was like, yeah, this is fine.

We can do this as a job.

Let's figure it out.

So, you know, moved up to, out to Davis, California, did a lot of intensive training and ended up with a master's diploma.

That's so great.^?

And then, yeah.

And then came back, got a job with, uh, then lining coogles, Milwaukee.

Which, unfortunately, that plant is now shuttered.

Yeah, that's too bad.

You know, the small satellite lightning coogles brewery that was in downtown Milwaukee right off I-43.

Right.

Was there for almost nine years.

Moved back when my high school sweetheart moved back into Madison.

And then, you know, got a job at another brewery, next door brewing company.

It was on Atwood.

It is also no longer there.

The pandemic kind of shut the doors for them.

And then right after pandemic reopened, there was a job opening at Flix, and just timing worked out.

That's so great.

My guest is Dave Hansen.

He is the brewmaster at Flix Brew House in Madison in Easttown Mall, stopped by Flix Brew House.

They still have some Hazed on Radio Nightlight IPA that Dave created.

I tasted it myself, really liked it.

I thought it was great, so they still have some left, or stopped by Flix anyway.

It's a great place to watch a movie.

Dave, is this a job?

I

can

jump in and say, if you want to get a good taste of hazelnut radio and any of the other beers as well, on Friday nights, we always have a special with crawlers where you get three full crawler fills for $20.

Oh, wow.

That's a great deal.^?
