Pete Schwaba

Listen, if you're playing pickleball, you wear a cup during pickleball?

You ever take one of the seeds?

I have not worn a cup.

Yes to the second question.

And then you're wishing you had, but yeah.

You gotta watch out, man.

You gotta have fast hands.

Especially when you're standing at the kitchen line.

Pete Schwaba

All

right, you're up

Pete Schwaba

there.

Washing your water bottles.

We were just talking about Wiffleball.

I took, and they put tape on the Wiffleballs when we would fast pitch them.

I took one right in the cheek, and they're coming in at 90 miles an hour.

Oh, dude, I wear glasses.

Pete Schwaba

I wear

protective glasses.

I gotta be able to see for my job, man.

I'm not taking a Wiffleball off the face, and yeah, no thanks.

I'm good.

Pete Schwaba

You can't show up doing the news of the big shiner.

Big black

Pete Schwaba

eye, yeah.

Leon from Oshkosh in the last hour.

That's the 920.

He says, enter Sandman by Motorhead.

That's the one used by the Sandman in ECW, which is wrestling.

And when Rich LoCasio is on next week, we'll ask him about that.

Because I think

Pete Schwaba

I need some intro music, too, for my wrestling

character.

There we

go.

I could see you being a wrestler.

Could you

Pete Schwaba

see

that?

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

I could see me losing.

I mean, but still stepping in the ring.

That's all that matters.

Here's the thing about fighting.

You can always get a lucky shot.

You never know.

It's anybody's game.

So quick little elbow and you're told

different whole different

Pete Schwaba

situation with me and wrestling.

All right, folks, our question of the night is what is your favorite sports related song?

We've heard we are the champions.

We will rock you.

Glory days.

We've got the Sandman jump around is another big one.

Conrad's favorite was bang in the drum.

Back home again in Indiana.

What's that one they sing it before the Indy 500 every year?

Oh, yeah, okay, which is next month very excited and Yeah, it is the year after COVID when

fans weren't allowed in the stands.

Kathryn Lake

I

think I almost cried during Back Home Again in Indiana when I was back there again.

I was like fighting back the tears.

It's my favorite day of the year.

So yeah, that's a good one.

Pete Schwaba

So that's a new one.

We haven't

heard that one yet.

That's probably won't hear that one again from everybody.

Pete Schwaba

Listen, any sport too.

I mean, there are no rules to any time we do our question of the night, but that's great.

Okay, so.

Share your favorite sports-related song.

It's a Bar Band Friday night.

Terry Barr will be here at 7.35.

She's got two great artists, too.

I heard both the songs.

Well, one is a song, the other one's like a half a song.

Yeah, both great.

Pete Schwaba

Both outstanding.

And Terry is so much fun to talk to.

So right now, we are in the throes of another fun segment here with our guest, Emerson Layman.

I need, what, four more to be perfect?

You need, yeah, you're six for six, right, Conrad?

Yeah, six for six.

Pete Schwaba

Yep.

And you got the, no more bell, though.

I think we move past the bell, right?

We're in the big leagues now.

Okay,

give us

Pete Schwaba

this.

Kind of look

Pete Schwaba

disappointed about that.

He hasn't had to do the eh, which is obnoxious.

Oh, that's not

Pete Schwaba

too bad.

because you turned it down last

Kathryn Lake

night that my

Pete Schwaba

ears are bleeding.

All right, so Emerson Lehman, we're gonna finish the quiz.

He's got four more questions.

He's six for six in our nightlight pickleball quiz.

Here's number seven.

Who is currently ranked number one in men's singles in the PPA?

I'm gonna need the

options for this

Pete Schwaba

one.

A, you're gonna get this so easily.

D, Federico S...

I'm

pretty sure that's the answer but I want to hear the other ones.

Pete Schwaba

See Pete the Snail Schwabba or D. Zane Ford?

I'm still going to go Spedereco.

Do you think how Conrad gave himself a cool nickname, the brute?

The brute?

It's like the last time I asked him to do one.

I

feel bad I made Conrad do extra work on a Friday.

Pete Schwaba

No, that's all right.

We like our quizzes.

Number eight, what is pickleball played to A21, B7, C50, dear God, or D11?

That would be a lot.

50 would be a lot.

Conrad.

Pete Schwaba

11.

He got

Pete Schwaba

that one right.

Eight for eight, crushing it.

Number nine, what was the original purpose of pickleball?

A, another addition to four school sports.

B, tennis is a big game, so they cut it in half.

Fair, honestly fair.

Pete Schwaba

C, summer activity for kids.

Or D, a game so adults can drink and play.

It was the...

So the owners or the owners the founders of it they wanted to keep their kids busy So I'm gonna say it was the the kids answer see

drugs all day.

You gotta have another out You want to give them better more positive outlets in the world?

Yes.

I have a feeling you're

Pete Schwaba

gonna get this one number 10

Where was pickleball invented?

Was it A, Kiewaskam, Wisconsin?

B, Bainbridge Island, Washington.

Feel free, Conrad.

I

I want to go out there.

I want to see the island like they have the like original court

Pete Schwaba

ready to go.

Yeah Wooden paddle old school All right, do we have a parting gift we got to get some gifts

There's some water in the fridge.

Pete Schwaba

Do we already blow through

hydration hydration

Pete Schwaba

guy.

You're a big fan

We

got

Pete Schwaba

a lot of pens, too.

We got pens, that's true.

This is awesome, dude.

You crushed our pickleball quiz 10 for 10.

10

for 10.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

And we didn't, honestly, we didn't know like what level, like, because you're a good pickleball player, but that doesn't mean you.

That

Pete Schwaba

does

not mean you know

Pete Schwaba

what's

going on.

I like to

Pete Schwaba

watch football.

I don't know.

Sometimes

these rules.

No, I was,

Pete Schwaba

I was

a little, because you're coming in, people expect, you know, you better go 10 out of 10.

That was, that was, I was kind of set up for failure there.

If you get 10 out of 10, good, you should have.

If you didn't.

Yeah, wow, dude, but you jumped in feet first.

So it's

Pete Schwaba

great.

So

like,

Pete Schwaba

if that's something you didn't score perfectly on, would your colleagues at WBA why I've given you a hard time?

My pickleball friends would have definitely given me a hard time because I know quite a few of them are listening in right now.

I had people send me a picture of you on their TV screen.

Shout out Tanya Valenta.

They're watching Nightlight up in Marinette right now.

So the hometown representing

Pete Schwaba

represent my homies.

So we've got a text from

PJ who says so pickleball can be a brutal sport note taken.

Yeah, PJ, but you don't want to scare people.

No, no, no come come hang out very welcoming Al from Madison says what was the answer to how did pickleball get its name?

I missed it.

That

was a dog, right?

Yeah.

Well,

Pete Schwaba

there's two schools of thought.

Yeah.

Yeah, we'll go with Conrad's though.

I don't want to

guy named Stephon after his dog pickles.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

So he called the pickleball which makes let's be honest.

No sense at all.

I bet it was a great dog, but it's only a golden retriever.

He did his dog, bro.

Pickles lives on.

Oh, Conrad, what's that?

How do we say that name again?

This is Lilerve?

I'm sorry, Texter.

Lilerve on the stream says, queen, we are the champions.

Were you looking out the window like you thought I was talking about someone passing by?

All right, Emerson Layman is here, folks.

He is one of the hosts of the WBAY morning show here in Green Bay.

He does great work.

You've worked in Milwaukee before that.

You're a staple in the community now, and this is pretty cool.

You've got this new segment that you do that you

took

Pete Schwaba

over, Small Towns with Emerson Layman.

What's

come up on that?

Yeah, really been enjoying that.

It's been quite the journey after taking over in January.

You got to meet some really incredible people.

Share some cool stories so far coming up.

So this coming week is draft week So I'm gonna be showcasing actually staying right here in Green Bay.

Usually we

Kathryn Lake

haven't done a

small towns Green Bay, but you know compared to a lot of other cities in the in the nation Green Bay is pretty small So yeah, gonna be highlighting the automobile gallery the Bart Starr MVP car That's on display there for folks that can go check it out doing the draft.

That's really a really neat piece of NFL history Packers history.

So really cool to share that we actually

did a story on the Marinette Pickleball Tournament, the people who run

Kathryn Lake

it.

So we

had the TV crew out there before you showed up on Saturday.

And so that's going to be airing May 1st, I believe that's the Thursday that week.

So

Kathryn Lake

the week

after the draft, really looking forward to sharing that one.

And yeah, just some really cool stories coming up this summer too that I'm really excited to share.

But it's so fun for me being from a small town to be able to go

Kathryn Lake

out to all

these other communities and just seeing the passion and the pride that they have in

the different events, the different people, the different nonprofits that make up these communities and make them so special to be able to shine a spotlight on that and let, you know...

Tens of thousands of people get to learn about it and hopefully bring more awareness to it.

That's a pretty big privilege.

So I enjoy it.

Pete Schwaba

Where are you at now?

You're from a small town, like you just said.

And you've lived in bigger cities now.

Is that something like, are you ever going back to the small town?

Or are you kind of like, I like the vibe in the city.

You're still a young guy.

You've got

Pete Schwaba

tons of time to figure it

out.

Yeah, I'm kind of just, I'm very much a go with the flow kind of thing.

Really enjoyed living in wasa that was my first job out of college and that's a fair It's a growing community smaller than Green Bay or Milwaukee I went to Milwaukee lived in the city and absolutely loved that Really enjoyed being here in Green Bay and kind of the the change in pace it is

Kathryn Lake

here.

So I

just you know Go with the flow see what kind of opportunities are presented to me and I'm never one to not at least explore an opportunity or see

hear things out.

But

I love being here in Green Bay.

I've really, really enjoyed, honestly, enjoyed living here more than I was expecting to.

So

Kathryn Lake

it's been,

it's, this is a really cool city I recommended to a lot of people.

I try and get friends to come, come and visit.

So I, I see myself being here for a while.

And you live only an hour

Pete Schwaba

from Marinette.

which you probably didn't anticipate.

Even better.

Yeah, I don't have to drive three hours to play one tournament and drive back again.

So

Pete Schwaba

that's great.

So what's going on with the draft?

How does that affect your

job?

So excited for the draft, man.

I'm so pumped.

So we're actually going to be live out at the Great North Commons next week, amplified by Bell and Health Studio at the Great North Commons.

We're going to be broadcasting our morning show live out there.

weather permitting, uh, but we've got some contingencies in place.

Hopefully so Monday through Friday of next week, my co anchor, Tammy Elliott, and then I will, we'll be out there.

Uh, we're going to have some live guests coming on, just getting Green Bay excited, right?

Draft weeks here.

It's six days, five and a half days away now, right?

We're pumped, man.

It's going

Kathryn Lake

to be

the biggest event this city has ever seen.

I was in Detroit

Kathryn Lake

last

year and I don't think people understand how huge this is.

Like it is going to be just remarkable.

The

the experience for people.

I mean, my family's coming up next weekend to come experience it.

It'll be fun to have some of them in town.

Go hang out with some friends out there, too.

But it's going to be a very busy, busy work week, but it's going to be a fun work week.

So really, really excited for that.

People should definitely tune into Action 2 News this morning and Action 2 News throughout the draft because we'll have our evening team out there, too.

There's just going to be a lot of really cool coverage.

That sounds like a blot.

That's like one of those events, too.

You're excited, probably, more than other things sometimes.

Yeah, I'm already excited for work on Monday morning.

Let's get this rolling, man.

It's going to be great.

Pete Schwaba

All right, Emerson is here.

Can we keep you for another

set?

Do you want to take

Pete Schwaba

another quiz?

it.

I thought

Pete Schwaba

it's a sleeping bag.

All right, this is a game we came up with, and we'll send you out on a high note, because

I

Pete Schwaba

think, at the very least, this will be fun.

Yeah, I like that.

It's called This Just In, or This Just In.

Did you write both of

those in the title, like, this just in question mark?

You did, okay, perfect.

Yeah, that's great.

Pete Schwaba

Is this a real news story or fictitious?

All right, you ready?

Yep.

All right.

Emerson layman, this is the first we're making radio history.

We've never given a quiz to the same person twice

twice in one show It seems

Pete Schwaba

like every night we make history.

All right, so number one Baseball player Bryce Harper recently used a blue bat as a gender reveal tactic

Pete Schwaba

He's 11

for

Pete Schwaba

11 tonight.

All right.

Number two, the Food and Drug Administration is planning to end its routine safety inspections.

This just in?

Or this just in?

This just in?

Question mark.

That is true,

Pete Schwaba

sadly.

He finally got one wrong.

Okay, well, oops.

They might outsource it to state and local officials, so.

But yeah,

that is it.

So it's not really ending, they're outsourcing, okay, yeah.

The Food and Drug Administration is, I won't hit you with it.

You want a challenge?

No, we're

Pete Schwaba

good.

I gotta be better.

All right, number three.

Emerson Layman got his first one wrong all night.

He's crushing these quizzes.

School children in Canada yesterday had a red, white, and blue water balloon fight at the end of the day in an effort to get the attention of their American schoolyard counterparts as a show of unity.

This just in.

Or this just in I

feel like it's way too cold right now in Canada to be having a water balloon fight This just in that is correct.

All right Actually, I wrote that question.

I'm like God it is kind of

Pete Schwaba

cold Contacts clues.

Yes, that's bad.

All right, so you got that one too.

All right two for three so far.

I'm upset with myself.

That's all right number four

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently revealed that part of the reason he is in such good shape, despite his age, is due to pickleball.

This just is.

And three jazz or size classes a week.

This just in?

Or this just in?

This just in?

Correct.

Pete Schwaba

I couldn't sell

you.

If you would have said anything but pickleball, I might have contemplated a little bit, but take it in my mouth.

You're playing to your audience.

I appreciate that.

All right, so that one, so he's

Pete Schwaba

three for four, right?

Yeah,

still

Pete Schwaba

mad about that second one, but

that's fine.

That's

Pete Schwaba

fine.

Number five, a helicopter flying over Warden Park in Detroit dropped hundreds of marshmallows to waiting children below who scooped them up eagerly.

This just in

or this just in?

I feel like that's weird enough that it would be real.

So this just in.

Marshmallows are the new Easter egg this year.

Pete Schwaba

Well, here's why I thought that was so crazy, but apparently.

My line was, don't worry folks, the marshmallows weren't for eating.

They were just to be collected and then they exchanged them for a prize.

Okay.

Pete Schwaba

We can shake those home and die them, right?

Probably

a sanitary marshmallow that they could eat.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

Oh

Pete Schwaba

well.

So that's good.

All right.

So, wow.

All right.

Pete Schwaba

Ready?

Yeah.

All right.

We got three more.

Here we go.

I think we can do this.

Let's LFG.

Easter is a holiday celebrated by Christians all over the world.

But it was recently revealed that the actual name Easter belonged to an early East Coast pilgrim practitioner named John David Easter.

This just in,

or this just in?

Pete Schwaba

This just in.

No.

Yeah.

Got it wrong.

Yeah.

I

think

you got it right.

Pete Schwaba

A guy named John

David Easton.

That's the Kiosk and Brotherhood right there.

That's the respect.

Pete Schwaba

I say he's right, and I don't care if he

isn't.

No, that one was fake.

All right.

Yeah, that's fair.

You

Pete Schwaba

could buy that.

John David Easton.

That sounds like a silver name.

And you sold that very well, the way you read it, too.

Thank you, buddy.

Yeah, that was good.

Appreciate that.

Pete Schwaba

No, I feel

a little better.

Good.

All right.

Pete Schwaba

Number.

Here to gas you

Pete Schwaba

up.

Number seven.

Five for six, correct?

No.

Five

for

Pete Schwaba

seven?

Five for seven, yeah.

Well, we're on number seven.

Then four for six.

Four for six, I'm sorry, okay.

Number seven, pseudo rapper, former pseudo rapper, Robert Van Winkle, also known as Vanilla Ice, is now in a sales position at a relax the back store in Detroit.

This just in, or this just in?

I hope it's this

just in.

I really do.

Is that your answer?

Yeah.

It's this just in?

I can see it.

Ice Ice Baby making

it in

the business world.

You gotta make it work, man.

He just kind of saunters and does his moves around the store.

I'd buy a chair from him.

I would, too.

Absolutely.

That could be successful.

And

Pete Schwaba

as much of a laughing stock as he was back in the day, like, his, that song is sampled so much.

Yeah.

And it's kind of cool,

even though.

He's

Pete Schwaba

got to be just, yeah, he's making plenty of money off of

that.

I would

Pete Schwaba

think, although he sampled it from under pressure.

True.

So it's not like it's an original piece.

All right.

Number eight, final question for our pal Emerson Lehman.

A court in the UK recently found six men guilty of stealing a cold toilet.

This just in?

This just in.

Pete Schwaba

This just in.

That is correct.

And on a high note, in a related story, one of Donald Trump's toilets is missing.

All right.

Hey, great job.

Hey, we ended it on a positive.

I think so too.

Always a pleasure being here and really appreciate you guys.

This is fun.

Good luck

Pete Schwaba

with small towns.

Thank you very much.

You're

Pete Schwaba

gonna crush the draft, crush it tomorrow with pickleball.

I'm kind of in awe of you, I'm gonna be honest.

It's always a pleasure, my friend.

Always a blast.

Emerson Lehman, ladies and gentlemen, when we come back after the news, we'll read more of your texts about what your favorite sports-related song is, and then we will have Terry Barr here for Bar Band Friday Night.

It's Nightlight with Peach Waba on the Civic Media Radio

Network.

Hope I cut my memories of how I failed to live

Time to check out original music with Bar Band Friday on Nightlight.

Now your host, Pete Schwabba, and special guest, Terry Barr.

Pete Schwaba

Welcome back.

All right.

Another fun Friday here at Nightlight.

Great to have you with me.

I am Pete Schwabba.

We are in our last, it's the fourth quarter, ladies and gentlemen, of a long week and a great show because it's a Bar Band Friday night.

And that can only mean one thing.

Our pal,

Terry Barr brings new music and killer conversation.

How are you, Terry?

Hello, Peachwaba.

How are you?

I'm good.

Thank you.

Pete Schwaba

I'm so glad to hear that.

I'm excited

to have

Pete Schwaba

you here.

And was it just last week?

No, two weeks ago, we were in Madison Live.

You were in the studio

with me.

Two weeks ago already.

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

Time flies.

OK,

so how are you?

You're coming

Pete Schwaba

back soon.

Yes, next week I'll be there.

Are we going to be able to

line something up, do you think?

Oh, I think I can.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, I know you're like, you got all the sweet hookups, you know, every person who plays an

instrument

Pete Schwaba

in Wisconsin.

I

would say you do pretty alright yourself, young man.

Pete Schwaba

Thanks to you when it comes to music, certainly.

Hey, speaking of music, do you have a favorite sports related song?

Wow.

You know, it's probably the typical that other people would say the jump around.

Yeah.

You know what comes to mind though, and I was thinking about this the other day with the stories I'm working on for the NFL Draft.

I remember when the Packers were gonna go to the Super Bowl in the 90s and standing on the field because I worked for the Fox Station in Green Bay at that time, I think is at the Natalie Merchant song, These Are The Days.

Oh yeah, a great song.

Do you remember that song?

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

That song was blasting in Lambeau Field, and I locked eyes with none other than Reggie White.

Oh,

wow.

And he was just bouncing his head to the song.

And that's one of those I just think about him and that song as a beautiful sports moment.

I don't know if it's the music, but just a really cool moment.

That's a

Pete Schwaba

great

story.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

You know what that reminds me of is when...

What I love about jump around that you just mentioned is when the other team on the sidelines, they're doing it too.

Like all the players are doing it.

Opposing team loves being at Camp Randall.

They're doing it.

Those moments in sports are just great.

And that moment you just shared, especially with Reggie White, who just biologist was such a great guy.

Great sports moment.

Thank you, thank you for asking.

Yeah, do you have a favorite?

Pete Schwaba

I do.

Mine is I in the Sky.

When I was in my 20s doing stand-up in Chicago, I was part of a Chicago Bulls season ticket pack.

I got like six games a year with a bunch of guys, you know, and we

would

Pete Schwaba

see, yeah, they would introduce Michael Jordan and they'd play I in the Sky by Alan Parsons' project with this spine-tingling music.

It was incredible.

That's mine.

And then jump around as a close second, I will say, and then bridge it on the text line of the 818 just said, one I forgot about, Eye of the Tiger.

That's a big

sports song too.

Yeah,

Pete Schwaba

Survivor.

So.

Yes, I forgot about that one too.

But oh, when that comes on, you know, everybody's going to be moving around and yeah, grooving to it.

Pete Schwaba

Trying to get in shape.

Yeah, thanks.

And Conrad's is, uh, Conrad's is, uh, jumping the crowd.

What?

He just wants to bang on the drum all day.

He has another pack.

Oh, there you go.

So

Pete Schwaba

you got that.

You got go pack go.

You got your, uh, I would not have equated Natalie Merchant or that's a great song, but I wouldn't have equated it with sports, but it was like the soundtrack to a great moment you had.

And I think that's spectacular.

Yes.

Well, and it was the buildup that season.

They were playing so well.

They made it all the way through the playoffs.

And that was the last playoff game.

And they're going to the Super Bowl.

Yeah.

And someone had that brilliant idea to play that song over the loudspeaker.

And it just hit at the right moment.

That's

Pete Schwaba

perfect.

All right.

So Barman Friday night.

Shall we dive right in?

You got a big

show coming up tomorrow, too.

I love

Pete Schwaba

that both your songs you sent, you're going to also talk about tomorrow night on Maxingradio.

Yes, we are it's gonna be a jam-packed show and I'm really looking forward to it We're starting to get back to some normalcy rockers feeling good You know for people who didn't know he had a heart attack in January, but he he's starting to rock it again So he was great when

Pete Schwaba

he was on the show a couple weeks ago Conrad and I were talking about he just sounds like his old self, you know, and he was

a lot of fun to

Pete Schwaba

talk

to

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, I agree.

It's great to see.

So this is kind of a cool band.

Should we start with PTO?

Sure, let's

do it.

Power

Pete Schwaba

Takeoff.

Okay, so tell us all about Power Takeoff.

This is a new band, but a very seasoned band.

Basically, everyone in this band has been in another project that has done really well.

The lead singer, Scotty Tice,

If you ever have heard of the Weisenheimer's hot, hot band out of Wisconsin in the 80s, 90s.

Okay.

Very popular.

They couldn't hold it together, though, which is, you know, always that disappointment.

Oh, they're breaking up.

Are you kidding?

Boo.

Well, he is the singer and his son is on drums.

And then we've got another young man, a son of a guitar player from another band is in this band.

And then you've got two other young guys who also have family that are musicians and other big bands.

So it's almost one of these all from different bands, from different families that have music connections.

And now they've come together to almost form this little super group.

Pete Schwaba

Wow, it's like the Wisconsin version of the traveling will berries, right?

Oh gosh, I love those guys, but you're right This really is the song that you're going to hear is their first original new release and this song already hit number 29 on

this chart called the secondary market rock chart.

Okay.

And I guess to put it into perspective, Lincoln Park, the band has some new music out as well.

One of Lincoln Park songs is at number 24.

Oh,

wow.

This band song is rolling up and who knows what's going to happen.

Pete Schwaba

All right, well, why don't we the song is called Do You Want It's power take off.

And they can be heard tomorrow.

Are they going to play?

You said they're on eight

o'clock.

They are going to play.

They're going to get us from eight until nine o'clock.

So they will be live in the studio.

They're going to be jamming.

And we hope you will join us to have all the fun with us.

Pete Schwaba

Here is a little sample of what you can hear tomorrow night on MaxInc Radio at eight o'clock.

It's power takeoff.

And do you want to?

Straight up rock

And it's catchy isn't it you can see why it might make it on the charts To radio play because you want to sing along to it once you know the words

Pete Schwaba

It's like I listened to it a couple times on the way down today And I love at the end when he says go out tonight with me like they go up It's great energy and that's for those of you listening that didn't hear Terry before

That's father son, Scotty and Aiden, right?

And it says on their website, father and son, loud and proud, bringing the noise one stage at a time.

I love that.

There you go.

And they're living up to it, which is awesome.

Pete Schwaba

So fun.

So tell us, where do they tour?

Are they just primarily, it looks like they spent a lot of time in Nashville, but are they kind of touring around in Wisconsin a lot too?

They are planning to this summer.

One of the first big shows that they're going to do is at Broadfest.

That's the big Memorial Day weekend music and Broadfestival in Manhattan.

They are playing Friday, May 23rd, and they are going to be one of the openers for Ace Fraley, the original guitar player from Kiss.

That's your guy.

Yeah.

This is going to be.

quite the night that Friday night of Broad Fest in Madison.

Pete Schwaba

That's so fun.

Terry Barr is here, folks.

It's a Bar Band Friday night.

Tune in tomorrow night to her show Max, Inc Radio, where you can hear what we just heard at eight o'clock tomorrow night.

There's an interview with, on the website, it says PTO.

Do they go by that or power takeoff?

Do they prefer one or the other?

You know, I think it's the PTO.

Yeah.

You say power takeoff and then you say PTO.

PTO just sticks to kind of like words in that song.

Pete Schwaba

Well, when I was Googling them, I put in power takeoff and all this like hemi stuff came up for engines.

I'm like, I don't think that's.

All right.

So catch them tomorrow night with Terry Barr and Rocker on Maxink Radio.

And now tell us about Doosy.

This is kind of, this is fun.

This is really fun.

This is a rocker find, my co-host with Maxink Radio.

And he's been searching for this band for a couple of weeks, knowing the NFL Draft is just six days away.

Isn't that incredible?

Yeah.

Doosie.

Went to the Packers and then ended up going to the NFL saying we want to write a song for the NFL draft and Everybody gave them thumbs up So we were able to get our hands on just a little piece of it that we can listen to with you Pete Yeah, they are going to be at the NFL draft and we'll play this song live

for the very first time this next Friday night.

How exciting for them and for us and for everyone.

They're a Wisconsin band.

They're from right outside of Milwaukee.

And they've been together for 20 years.

So they're not just a little fly by night kind of thing.

They know what they're doing.

So

Pete Schwaba

you said Rocker was looking for them.

Why

were

Pete Schwaba

they so hard to find?

Like if they're a Wisconsin band, are they just kind of living in an

and now they've got to break

I'll be honest I didn't hear of them until getting this song to share with you so I sort of had to look up some info even though they've been together for 20 years you know they all

have their own you know family things a job things so it's not like they're playing out constantly or touring or things like that but i love that they got together and said this nfl draft thing is happening in wisconsin we're a wisconsin band somebody should write the official nfl draft song and i just think um you have to really hand it to them for going after

Kathryn Lake

it and

making it happen

When Rocker found out about this, the trouble he was having was first of all, finding the band and second of all, finding the song.

So he has now been in touch with them.

We are going to interview them tomorrow night to get the whole story.

Wow.

And find out, yeah, I want every step.

I want to know every step of the way how this happened.

Pete Schwaba

Absolutely.

That's a packed show tomorrow night on Max Inc.

And when we come back, folks, after a very short break, you're going to get a preview of the official NFL draft song.

And it's happening here in Green Bay next week.

This is Pete Schwabba in Nightlight on a Bar Band Friday night on the Civic Media Radio

Kathryn Lake

Network.

Pete Schwaba

on Friday night, Max Sink radio co-host Terry Barr is here as she always is on Friday.

At this time bringing us new music and just a whole lot of fun.

Terry, you bring your own fun.

That's why I love having you on the show.

Well, we have to bring our own fun, right?

Absolutely.

Those things just aren't fun.

I

Pete Schwaba

could not agree more.

Dave

on the

Pete Schwaba

stream says, this is out there, but the climb by Miley Cyrus.

I saw an inspirational video about Jordan with that song playing in the background.

I don't know that song.

Do

you know that song, Terry?

Pete Schwaba

Climb?

I don't, but now listen to it.

Actually,

That song it was like a Disney Channel song because Miley Cyrus

was a

big part of Disney Channel Okay, yeah, she had her own movie and that was like the big song of that time was her song the climb nice I didn't know was associated with sports though.

I'd never heard it in sports.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, I don't know that one either.

Good one Dave.

Thank you Alright Terry, so we've got doozy I kind of tease this before we went to the break.

This is called last one standing

This is the official song of the NFL Draft, correct?

Yeah.

All

right.

Yes.

And they wrote it with the idea of overcoming obstacles, similar to what the players will be waiting for when they have their name called.

Yeah,

Pete Schwaba

no kidding.

the big moment for sure.

Well, this is great.

We've

Kathryn Lake

got a

Pete Schwaba

we've got a small sample.

It's about a minute long.

And then if you want to hear the whole song, you'll have to watch the draft and doozy will perform it.

But right now here's the official NFL draft song.

Last one standing a small sample.

This is lightning and I'm strong as thunder Doesn't matter what they say I'm gonna do it anyway It doesn't matter if it's dumb I'm gonna march to the beat of my own drum

Pete Schwaba

That's why they call it a tease.

You kind of get into it, and then they just... That's all we get right now.

But that's fun.

That's a good song.

Isn't it?

I think it's a sports song, kind of as the theme of your evening with songs.

Pete Schwaba

Absolutely.

Yeah, it totally works.

Listening to the words, I get it.

the NFL draft thing.

Yep.

Pete Schwaba

I love it.

That's going to be far.

Are you going to be anywhere near Green Bay for the draft or?

I

want to be badly.

I love the Green Bay area.

Worked there a long time.

Family still there.

And I think this is such an outstanding opportunity to be.

of something that's going to be maybe a once in a lifetime thing.

Pete Schwaba

It's interesting because I think it's fun too.

But they also said maybe you should come down and do the show for Madison because I might not be able to park out here.

You know what

I mean?

It's going to be that crazy.

Is that why they're having you in Madison?

Pete Schwaba

No.

And

Pete Schwaba

I

don't

Pete Schwaba

ever have a problem going to Madison.

I like it.

Even if, even if I'm on the burbs, it's just fun to be

in Madison.

So I could be in Green Bay and you'll be in Madison.

So we'll switch it

Pete Schwaba

up.

We may have to swap roles.

Well, I'm holding a spot next Friday night.

If you think of someone you, you could have on or that we could prerecord or whatever.

I think that would be a blast, but no pressure whatsoever.

Oh,

I'll work on it.

Don't you worry.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

Fantastic.

And did you know before we let you go, Mike Clemens.

This is kind of what inspired the sports song tonight question.

He wrote the

Kathryn Lake

pack

Pete Schwaba

arena.

Remember that?

You were talking about the nineties.

Mike wrote the pack arena and Jane McNair was a performer on it.

How crazy is that?

I did not know that.

Pete Schwaba

It's a terrible song.

I'm kidding.

It's a

Pete Schwaba

lot of fun.

No, Mike was on last night.

We played it, right?

Con, we had a couple.

Let's give Terry a couple seconds of pack arena.

Ooh.

One second.

Maybe four seconds.

Oh, he's got to find it.

But it's great.

If you get a chance to listen to it, it's so fun.

It's like to the Macarena music and they just had so much fun with it and it's great.

So

it was fun.

I didn't know

Pete Schwaba

Mike was a songwriter too.

So maybe you have him on Max Inc.

That would be perfect now that you've said that.

Ooh.

Pete Schwaba

Now I've made things awkward.

It's for the idea.

Pete Schwaba

You

have Mike and Jane and they'll sing it.

Thank

Pete Schwaba

you as always, my friend.

We will talk next

week.

Oh, and you guys too and all your listeners have a great weekend.

Pete Schwaba

You too, Terry.

Thanks so much.

Have a great night.

That's Terry Barr.

Check out Max, Inc Radio tomorrow night, folks.

You just got a great sample of what they have coming up.

Power takeoff, PTO and doozy.

with the NFL draft song, official draft song.

I didn't know they had an official draft song.

I

really liked that

Pete Schwaba

riff.

Oh yeah, me

too.

That was

Pete Schwaba

great.

Do you think, did he kind of sound like R&B or rapper?

Like it was sort of had a rap style.

A little bit, yeah.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, I thought that was pretty sweet.

So check out Max Inc Radio tomorrow night from six to midnight.

Power takeoff will be on at eight o'clock.

We got to have Lisa Hale on again.

Don't forget to check out Newisco weekend folks this weekend.

Lisa does such a great job.

and everybody who contributes to that song, that great Northeast Wisconsin magazine show that Lisa does such a great job hosting.

I have a classic movie pick on there.

Brittany Merlot contributes.

Todd Michaels, Terry Barr, Amanda Nimmer, Conrad Krieger, the kid Conrad Krieger.

Has anyone called you that?

The kid Conrad Krieger?

No.

Pete Schwaba

You sound like you're like a shoe shine guy in a mob movie.

Get the kid Conrad Krieger over here.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

All right.

Lots of fun tonight, folks.

Who do we have Monday, Conrad?

I didn't even tease a Monday show.

What are we

Pete Schwaba

looking at?

Before we leave, I just want to end with that.

We got a text down if you saw.

I did not.

Yes.

Who is it?

So we got Carol in Madison.

She said, best song in sports is Chelsea Dagger.

Fight me.

I don't think I know that song.

Pete Schwaba

I don't.

I'm going to listen to that on the way home.

Carol, thanks for getting in under the wire.

Monday.

Kirsten Larson from the Milwaukee Film Festival.

She'll give us a review at 6.35 and our pal Tim Sowers from the Overture Center in Madison at 7.20.

That's Monday.
