Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.
This is Night Light with Pete Chwaba.
Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.
And now, a guy who does his own stunts, Pete Chwaba.
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 had a great show.
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 6.35.
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?
Because she's a really sharp, intelligent person.
But I think she bit off more than she could chew that night.
Well, 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.
Uh, 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 I was gonna split, you know, just
perfect.
But it turns out we can't use this cabin until Saturday.
So now I have some people, I have 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 to 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 bear 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 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 get in 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, and 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 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 like Ed gain or Dahmer or something Dahmer hadn't even happened yet But oh my god like you really have to be
Careful if you're gonna freak people out, you know
That reminds me of a time I was had some friends in my basement when I lived in Campbell sport 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.
Yeah.
Oh, it was I usually am not a fan of IPA's,
but it
wasn't it didn't have too much of that IPA taste
Yeah, it
was fruity.
It was nice.
I it was
very refreshing
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 Yeah, so I taste it and it tasted like I was drinking a liquid pinecone It was not good so but I knew at the film festival people in the bar that weren't drinking had we're drinking athletics So I got to try that the golden.
I think it's called golden.
So I'll try that one
next my my brother what really likes
okay, all right, I'll try that too because
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.
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.
Questions.
Who is your favorite female sitcom actress?
I guess I could just say who is 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 Moore 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 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.
So funny and I think she's better than any of the other characters on Friends.
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.
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.
You can also text us on the app.
Very easy to use.
If you haven't downloaded the Civic Media app, get to it, folks.
It's so great.
Or you can text us on the stream.
If you're watching on X or YouTube or Facebook and WGBW, right?
Yeah, you got it YouTube civic media and WGBW and then Twitter WGBW or civic medias
get a hold of us 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 635.
Brewmaster Dave Hansen at 735.
When we come back, we're going to talk about more really fun stuff, including Katy Perry going into space.
This is Pete Schwabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
Tom from New Berlin checks in, says, vintage is the golden girl's 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 Schur 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 listing 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 what I was a sequel, right?
That was
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 kissed the ground after I got 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 into space.
We're gonna do a nightlight broadcast from space.
Heather Hile 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
space barrier I think they call it whatever Heather will be here and then brewmaster Dave Hansen will be here at 735 great fun tonight on nightlight our question is who is your favorite sitcom actress so good to have you with me on this Tuesday night here on the civic media radio
network
It is a Tuesday night in Green Bay.
We are rocking out to some Springsteen here.
This is Night Late with Peach Wabba.
I am Peach Wabba.
Daniel Wheeler on the text line, or from the social media post, says Amy Poehler 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.
OK, because I know
a guy,
a comedian.
Nope.
Who spells it that way?
He uses the.
Okay, and Craig Kinnit 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, D 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 think so.
I mean, like Bridesmaids and... I think you're right.
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've watched the show.
That
movie, I mean, that show is really good.
I really enjoyed it.
I love that show, too.
Ricky Martin is in there.
He's a funny one.
It's a thick one.
It's cute, yeah.
Okay.
I'll check it out.
And Carol Brunette is in there, and... Really?
Yes.
Carol Burnett, I just call her Red.
She's in
there.
We're tight like
that.
Of course you are.
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.
It has been.
I always feel that way.
To the point where you
were thinking it was getting weird?
Yeah, where I was like, did we break up?
Did I do something the last time?
Like I didn't come in studio or was that 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.
OK.
Everyone
is welcome.
I don't.
Don't let me be the
first.
No, you were.
Listen.
OK.
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?
Sid Comac just absolutely.
Is going to be a national treasure.
Okay.
But is it?
Oh,
here.
Oh, she.
From Schitt's Creek.
She is fantastic.
Now, she's movies we normally think of her of.
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.
Yep.
I
started watching that.
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.
Shocking.
It's
Apple
TV,
right?
Yep.
The third episode had me, like, boiling.
OK, 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.
Yeah, 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, I love 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.
Two, three weeks ago it came out, and now they're on episode four this week, I believe.
Oh, because they do.
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 like binge it.
I also like 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.
Like 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 out of her.
Edie
Patterson.
Patterson, Edie Patterson.
Oh,
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 the megachurch.
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.
Baby Billy.
From the righteous Jones Jones.
There was the Jetski guy.
Is that their long daggers?
Yeah, he just is like standing there and I'm like, whoa.
I mean, 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.
I look 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.
I wanna say, I'm sorry you have a little thing, but so what?
It's a movie.
George Costanza had shrinkage and they
did a whole thing on that.
They talked about that.
So people know
about it.
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 said 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
Here's another one.
No Krause.
I think it's his name because I saw the K but I know my glasses on.
Charles Krause is Betty White too.
That's the third vote for Betty White.
Oh, 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 to catch that.
I know he's on it.
If I had 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?
Yep.
He's already rocking the full beard again already?
Yep.
Really?
Well, not the full full.
Does he got like a Sean Hannish kind of beard going there or what?
He
might.
He might.
Both of those guys have phenomenal beards.
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 know.
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.
What was that from?
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.
Dave, now you're trashing 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, you had a cocktail with someone from law enforcement.
No doubt planning a sting operation here tonight at WGBWA.
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 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
after I 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 grid.
I love Good
Bloody Mary.
It's a social thing for me, to be with my peers and just having fun in a social thing.
It's not usually a crazy...
That's how it starts, though,
unfortunately.
Yeah, sometimes it does, though, where else?
And
you're like,
whoa!
Funwheel is calling.
Woo!
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!
My
people.
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
a little bit.
It was just a little peanut.
Really?
I'm sorry.
The peanut 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 would like that.
Officer Craig, you should call him.
Yeah.
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.
Kayred.
You know?
Con.
It's Con.
It's Con.
The Conman.
Con.
I know, but it needs like a Y, a sing-songy thing, like criggers and paddles.
Yeah, they're just more...
Conners.
Mino called me convoy for a while, so... Ooh, convoy.
Did that take?
Did that stick with you?
No.
By anyone other than Mino?
I don't think so.
Jim did it too, didn't he?
Didn't they both call you two?
No, he goes by con.
That's it.
Jim bailed.
Con.
Jim bailed.
He didn't want to give Mino the satisfaction.
Con air.
Con air.
Oh, that's a
good one.
Yeah.
Con 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.
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 by Ryn.
I would say maybe Ryn Ryn Ryn
from Madison.
Let's just say Ryn Ryn
from the 608.
Jane
Cleese, 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.
Yay!
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 Peach Wabba 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 Delavan.
Have you ever been to
Delavan?
I did stand up there on the 90s.
It looks like it's a
cool place.
I've never been to Delavan before.
And I
kind of... The Delavan Brick Road.
I kind
of want to go
there.
It says recreational lakes, dining, pristine golf courses, historic downtown, great shopping, beautiful parks, unique attractions.
Delavan.
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'm trying to get people to get a hotel room 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, for the draft.
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.
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.
That
was.
And did you actually see the Saturday Night Live documentary on Netflix right
now?
I still haven't seen
it.
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 Nets 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.
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.
Right.
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 off at 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.
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
find you and yeah, 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
next 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.
as a 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.
More of a 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.
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, 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 and- 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.
We're coming right back.
Remember.
Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.
This is Night Light with Pete Chwaba.
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
Chwaba.
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.
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 Thai.
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 vodka martini if I'm at a tailgate.
I want a carbless if I'm
It just depends on where, yeah.
Okay, first, I was hungry because I'm fasting and you brought in these Thai Brussels sprouts that I
can smell.
Yes, 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 Sun Prairie, that's the 608.
Steve says, my new bride, Anne, says Loretta, sweat from mash.
That's a great one.
Oh, yes.
You 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?
S. Well, that means 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 combined 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 fostering this year.
So
it would be really funny is if you did this combine for kids and there's some kid that ran like a three, eight, 40,
vertical
like 50 inches or something in the pack.
I know people do 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, because 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?
Because 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 had, we kinda came
up with this.
Can Conrad and I do this together?
No,
cause he created like half the questions,
the other 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 men active.
played the wild thing in Major League.
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, 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?
Is it... You want the
choices?
I'm gonna say it was the blonde-haired guy who 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,
boom.
I
don't know how easy Conrad is making this.
He says...
No, he's not.
This is
hard.
I didn't even have to read the choices.
He said, A, Brad Pitt.
Just so smart.
B, Aaron Rodgers.
C, Pete Schwabba.
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.
OK, 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'd like our guests to do well.
So you're three for three on the Nightlight Sports Movie Quiz.

There was something about it.
Do you want me to do it?
I don't know.
You had the line.
Yup, was the John Wick 5 dodgeball assassination.
I gravitated
back.
I'm like, what is
that?
All right, you're three for three.
Disregard that last question.

No, it is Hoosiers.
Yes.
Very well done.
Okay.
If you haven't seen
Larry the Cable Guy on Ice, it is a spectacular show, by the
way.
Wasn't there like a, for real?
Will Ferrell was on Ice, Blades of Glory.

movie.
He asked me those questions.

Oh, we just read it because I saw you had hoop dreams as one of the.
Choices, that's a phenomenal film.
I don't
know.
What about Peach
Wabba can dunk?
That was a good movie too.
Yeah.
Peach Wabba could dunk.
She had a prosthetic doll.
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 friend's 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.
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 draft?
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, he's a good player.
I don't think he's going to go in the first round.
He had no idea what he was talking about.
And
the other hosts played
that over and over all day.
I almost felt bad for the guy.
That's funny.
All right.
Is Heather 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 for 8?
She's crushing.
All right.
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, is it a challengers be tennis dudes?
At
least make it
sound
real 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.
It's one.
Number one.
Chandler.
Challengers.
I didn't know that one though.
You didn't know
that one?
I didn't know that one.
It's a really, it's a very interesting movie.
I liked it.
Okay.
What 1993 movie stars Sean Aston as a student for Notre Dame who plays, who wants to play football?
What 1993 movie star Sean Aston as a student for Notre Dame who wants to play football?
Is it a
the Goonies?
No, remember the Titans be
Rudy C Notre Dame pride and D the Goonies to Rudy Rudy
Rudy How about radio we didn't talk about radio or radio like all of these
that was one of the selections You just you know, you didn't have to read the multiple choice for that question
Yeah.
So we've got more questions for Heather.
We're going to do a very, very quick break.
Folks, this break is so fast.
You're not going to blink.
We're going to be back.
So don't go anywhere.
She's crushing the quiz.
You're undefeated.
You have a perfect attendance.
All right.
We're coming right back.
Heather Hiles here from the Green Bay Children's Museum taking our movie quiz, which will segue into Wisconsin sports.
Oh, there's
more.
It's Beach Wabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
That's our space girl.
Yeah, nicely done Conrad.
She went into space
for eight minutes with five other
women and
achieved absolutely
nothing.
Welcome back to Nightlight.
This is Pete Schwabba.
Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids says, I dream of Jeanne's naughty sister too.
Oh, I don't remember.
What was he referring to, Conrad?
You have to scroll
back.
Now I'm curious, because I loved I Dream of Jeannie, Barbara Eden, she was great too.
Barbara from Waukesha says, Edie Falco in the Sopranos and Nurse Jackie.
Yeah, that's a great one too.
Oh yeah, she's fantastic, good
one.
Lee from Depeer, 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.
Barbara from Waukesha also says, disregard my Edie Falco text, those aren't sitcoms, it's been a long time.
That's okay,
Barbara, we weren't gonna call you out.
Is it 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 watch.
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 picture.
I already
bought
it.
No, it's awesome.
He's like sold guitars to like...
Anybody was anybody?
Yeah.
Is this local?
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'd go in 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.
Yeah.
I was at
Norman's Rare Guitar.
Norman's Rare Guitar.
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 in an X-ray and I should have known that one.
Oh
nice.
Yeah.
Okay.
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 got to 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 going to give you this forum to insult my friend.
Yeah, you are.
Because, you know, every time I'm going to...
Well, he's your friend.
Craig and I know each other, but not well.
I mean, we went,
okay.
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.
That's not
the least bit awkward.
You're welcome.
All right, this 20...
12 film involving the Packers explores the last day or 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
still undefeated 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 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.
Craigs is 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 gonna
get
the cable.
I got
the Uber.
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, yeah.
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 Wisecracking 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
Kahl.
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.
All right, 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 don't.
Stick around if you want.
Man, I don't.
She may or may not be.
I gotta 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 gonna 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 wanna 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.
Steady 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.
Steady 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 Steady 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 Brew House in Madison in the Easttown 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 $100,000 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 want to 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 going to 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 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 will still be a little left.
I planned, 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 amount left.
It should maybe even reach to the end of the month.
Oh, fantastic.
So what do we do then, Dave?
Cause 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.
Well, to start with the festival, the festival was fantastic this year.
This is our second year having a portion of it at Flix.
And it just, you could tell things were more ironed out than the previous year.
And it just, it went so smoothly.
And yeah, 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, it 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 Kugels, 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.
That 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 brew master at Flix Brew House in Madison in Easttown Mall.
Stop 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 stop 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 hazed on 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.
Yeah, it's the best deal that you're going to get at Flix.
All right,
so stop by and
yeah.
That's fantastic.
Thank you for letting us know.
So Dave, I was going to ask you, because I'm fascinated when I see from the outside someone with a great gig, it looks like it's fun, it's creative, you get to do your own thing.
Have you kind of had it when you get home at night?
Or do you even make your own beer at home?
Or is this just a job now and you leave it at the door?
Well, it's a job, but it's also, you know, I've got the freedom to make what I want.
I'm not just making one beer.
So if there's something
I want for myself and I know it's going to at least sell a little bit.
I can make what I make it when I want for myself.
You got all the
equipment and
everything.
Yeah, I don't need to experiment at
home.
What other, like, aside from Hazed On Radio, you've got so many, you know, you go to the website, you've got so many beers there.
What are your favorites to make and what do you recommend right now if people come in and aren't in the mood for a Hazed On Radio?
Where would you steer them?
Well, right now, one of the newer beers that I brought on board recently that has just, you know, taken off is a pastry sour that is on
Nitro tap so it you know, it's like a Guinness tap where it's all foamy and creamy Okay, so it's there and So I make one base and then I you know flavor it up separately So for now we've got a keg or two left of so it's a lemon meringue pie.
Oh
Wow,
you know, so so it's it's nice.
It's creamy.
It's smooth.
You know, there's some tartness to it
You know, a little bit of vanilla, you know, it's really a dead ringer for lemon meringue pie.
And then, you know, so it's a great go-to if you want something that's not very hoppy, a little more tart, you know, a little more drinkable if you're not into hops at all.
And that's been a fun one that I've done.
Before we let you go, Dave, I have to ask you, do you have a favorite sitcom actress?
Um, it's honestly tough to be what Kirstie Alley did on her time in Cheers.
Oh, wow.
There you go.
We haven't heard anybody from Cheers.
Diane, Carla, anybody.
That's the first Cheers and it's Kirstie Alley.
I love that.
Um, there's that.
There's, you know, night court.
You could go anywhere.
Yeah.
There's a lot of great ones.
I forgot about that one.
Dude, thank you so much for the experience of making this beer and making me part of it and the show part of it.
I hope whatever you do sells gangbusters because I think you just do a great job and it was great working with you.
So I look forward to hopefully doing
it
again.
Well, I hope so.
Sometime we'll get your back out on the next one and have you shovel some grain and fill up the buckets and keep the cows happy.
That sounds, it sounded fun until you said that, but yeah, we'll figure out a way around that.
All right.
Thanks
so much, Dave.
The farmer comes and picks it up here.
I'm
in.
Count me in.
All right.
Thank you, buddy.
Have a great night, Dave.
All right.
Thanks, Pete.
Thanks.
That's Dave Hansen.
Check out his work at Flix Brewhouse in Madison.
He does great stuff down there.
Dave Kunish says, Granny from Beverly Hills.
Oh, that's one we haven't heard.
I don't remember that show.
I mean, it was black and white reruns when I was on, but I really don't remember Beverly Hills.
PJ, who just texted S earlier, says, sorry, I fumbled my phone with the S. He says my favorite sitcom actress was Christina Applegate from Married with Children.
I love it when we get somebody new that we haven't.
Haven't heard yet.
That's awesome.
Keep those texts coming, folks.
You still got a few minutes.
Who's your favorite sitcom actress?
We are coming right back to close this thing down, and we're going to give you a little teaser as to what you'll hear tomorrow night from actor Mike Starr, who will be here at 6.35.
We'll play a little bit from his scene from Dumb and Dumber, and I'll tell you why Dumb and Dumber is important this week and how it relates to your weekend.
That's coming up next on Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media Radio
Network.
Welcome back to Nightlight, folks.
This is a Tuesday night edition, which isn't that much different from other nights, except we have different guests and topics.
I'd like to thank my guest tonight, Heather Heil, who is here.
Hang out with Heather.
That's always fun and Dave Hansen from Flix Brewhouse in Madison Thank you for all your texts and calls.
I think we're caught up in everything text wise call wise, right?
Okay, and Yeah, it was fun.
I I'm really looking forward to tomorrow night Mike Mike star is just one of those guys who
You know, you look at him, you see his work, he's so great.
He does comedy, he does mob films, he's just a great actor.
And we have a clip, and here's the reason I wanted to play this clip, because Mike is gonna be on the show tomorrow night, and he got very excited when I said, we'll talk about Miller's Crossing, because he said everybody asks him about Dumb and Dumber.
So Miller's Crossing was last week's classic movie pick of the week.
This week's will be Dumb and Dumber, and you can hear that on New Isco weekend with Lisa Hale every Saturday and Sunday here.
Dumb and Dumber will be the classic movie pick this week.
And here is a clip, this is Mike, and this is the clip we use in the classic movie pick, but this is Mike and Dumb and Dumber, when he gets picked up hitchhiking, he's trying to find these guys, and they're so stupid.
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels pick him up as a hitchhiker.
Are you guys going to Davenport?
My car died and I'm late for a luncheon.
We usually don't pick up hitchhikers, but I'm gonna go with my instinct on this one.
Saddle up, partner.
Want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?
Guys!
Guys!
Guys!
Fellas, you think we could listen to the radio or something?
Radio?
Who needs the radio?
Ready, Harry?
Mock!
Yeah!
Yeah!
He reaches
into his coat for his gun and they'd see more hitchhikers.
After he says they
usually don't pick up hitchhikers.
Beautiful stuff.
Great movie.
Mike will be here tomorrow
night.
I want to play this other clip before we get out of here.
And this is Tom Cruise.
When you're Tom Cruise and you have the world on a string, so to speak, you're a pilot.
You can do everything you do your own stunts.
The guy's amazing.
This is these are the kind of jokes Tom Cruise plays on people.
Go
ahead.
I'm a pilot and I was One time we were flying to Colorado and I was flying this airplane that we had to go on oxygen and the winds were better at a higher altitude so we climbed up and I realized that we couldn't stay at that altitude if On oxygen I had to descend because I didn't have enough oxygen so had a passenger in the back so we figured out
You know, me and the co-pilot, that if we turned the oxygen off from the back guy, that we could make it at this altitude.
So, you know, it wasn't dangerous or anything, you know.
What happened when you turned his oxygen off?
He was very quiet.
He
fell asleep.
He fell asleep.
He slept the whole
way.
I'm
getting the talk.
Wow.
That was the kind of guy you wanted to have him sleep the whole way.
But honestly, looking at it from another direction, isn't that a tempted manslaughter?
You just turn a guy's oxygen off?
You're lucky you're not doing time for the love of
God.
He woke up.
He did wake up, yeah.
You know, when we were landing on DeSantis.
My hands are... He's my... He's my... He's my... My hands are your old hands.
He said, my hands are tingling.
I said, the whole thing.
I said, must have been the way I was laying.
I said,
you must have been the way I was laying.
Oh, my God.
He's pushing getting enough oxygen to his
brains.
Oh, my God.
I know.
Well, it's funny
now.
Yowl.
No, it wasn't such a high altitude that it would have caused death or anything.
That's so great.
There's nothing funnier than when someone can't even talk because they're laughing so hard.
And those are the kind of Tom Cruise jokes Tom Cruise can play in people because he's a pilot and he's loaded.
I don't like flying.
Uh, as much as I used to, and I certainly wouldn't go into space.
Would you Conrad?
I don't think I would.
I'm not that adventurous.
And just to go and break the space
barrier and come back, big whip.
I, you know, I think if I did go, I would sing a song like Katy Perry, just to live in a moment.
Well, you wouldn't sing it like her.
You would sing it similar to...
No, I can definitely do it like Katy Perry.
Let's hear it.
What a wonderful world.
You
know that song?
Just give us
a
couple bars.
All
right great stuff tonight folks.
Thank you so much for being here at nightlight Yeah tomorrow night we got a great show too we gotta come up with it.
Should we just keep the female
powered questions going this week, like do some girl power questions all week.

We'll think about it.
We'll noodle it and we'll be back tomorrow night at the same time.
