Fart Walks and Pocket Items (Hour 1)

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.

This is Night Light with Pete Chihuahua.

Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now a guy still not convinced computers are here to stay, Pete Chihuahua.

Welcome to Night Light, ladies and gentlemen.

I have something in my throat there.

You know what it is?

It's gelato.

Hey, I was gonna say,

is it gelato?

Welcome to night, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm having a little gelato.

It's a Thursday night.

It's the Christmas Eve of weeknights, and I'm in casual mode.

It's like basically casual Friday.

Just having some gelat.

It's good stuff.

You know what?

And it should be like happy gelato because they're open again, but this weather, I'm telling you, I've about had it.

I almost woke up this morning and I was gonna take a walk and then I go out in my living room and it's raining and I just wanted to crawl in bed.

I wanted to crawl back in bed and do the show from bed.

That's how, that's what the mood I'm in.

Like this has been like the suckiest spring that I can remember.

Yeah, I mean yesterday it was, I was wearing shorts, you know, and I was sad when I had to put pants on again

today.

You were sad.

You had a sniffle while you were putting your pants on.

Exactly.

No, but it's, you're kind of winter shorts guy anyway, to a degree.

This is getting, you know, it's,

the rain's hitting your legs then, it's kind of cold.

Get

your leg hair all wet, it's a bad look.

all the way around, even in downtown Green Bay.

It's fantastic.

This is fun, folks.

We have a great show tonight.

It is great to be on the air talking with all of you, building a community here through entertainment, through movies and TV and music and comedy.

Let's connect here tonight and really get this thing done because we want to go into the weekend feeling good.

There's some great movies out there.

There's some big movies opening this weekend and lots to watch on TV.

If the weather is going to be like this,

I say, I'm gonna stay and watch TV.

Checkmate mother nature, that's what I say.

So we'll cover all this kind of stuff tonight.

In fact, it's Thursday and that means there's gonna be a popcorn pick of the week.

A new pick that you can check out this weekend and making that pick will be my pal, Dobie Maxwell.

He is a Wisconsin based comedian.

He's an author.

He did radio for years.

This guy is a show business.

just a workhorse and hilariously funny.

He'll be here at 6 30.

We'll talk to Dobie.

We'll get his popcorn pick of the week.

He has a new comedy special he wants to talk about.

We'll certainly bring that up as well.

And then at 7 20, my pal Jim Healy from Jim is one of the program directors at UW Cinema Tech and the Wisconsin Film Festival.

And the word cinephile gets thrown a lot thrown around a lot.

Jim is an absolute cinephile like he's

A couple years ago on Facebook, he posted that he watched almost 800 movies in one year.

Now, he has to do that to some extent for the Wisconsin Film Festival, but he's just a movie buff, and he is very knowledgeable and really fun to talk to about film.

So we'll do that.

We'll dabble into a little Gene Hackman at 720, maybe some Michael Mann on the heels of our conversation last night with Mike Schmidt.

Maybe we'll touch on David Lynch and

He'll tell us what he's been watching, too.

I know he saw Sinners.

Have you seen Sinners?

I have not seen any of the big releases yet, you know?

I want to go see that and Thunderbolts.

Yeah, Thunderbolts reviewed well.

It got like high 80s on Rotten Tomatoes, but I feel like they kind of grade Marvel movies a little differently.

I feel like they

just did not like Marvel movies, the critics kind of put bad reviews on them most of the time.

Yeah, but I mean what are I mean the one with

I'll admit the Captain America movie that came out was bad

And that you know what countered that I want to say if I remember correctly got about a 50% a rotten tomato and that's not panning it It's just not fresh, but it's not like You know, I don't know I I don't know how I feel about that But anyway, it got good reviews, but sinners is like crushing like it typically folks when when a movie opens big

And let's say it makes $100 million of the box office.

If the next week it makes like $40 million or $50 million, that's still considered a healthy gate and not huge drop-off.

And especially in the horror genre, which Sinners is in that realm, there's an even bigger drop-off typically.

Well, Sinners set a record last weekend.

It made like $45 million in its opening week and it only dropped off 6% in its second week.

So that is

insane, crazy word of mouth.

And it's a vampire film.

And Ryan Coogler just has a magic touch.

Everything that guy makes, whether it's Creed or Black Panther, he just he's got it.

He's a very good filmmaker.

So I'm very excited to see Sinners.

I'll probably see Thunderbolts at some point.

But I have to say Sinners is probably first on my list.

And I haven't seen a good vampire film in a while.

So I'll probably check that out.

You know, the last the last good vampire movie was Renfield.

Wait.

Oh, you're joking.

What does

Ren feel like?

That's the Nick Cage movie.

Spacing

out.

Oh, dear God.

The Nick Cage with, uh, I can't think of his name.

Let me go to the Google quick.

Yeah, go to the Google.

I kind of remember that, but I don't really, but I don't really remember that.

There is a new Nick Cage film opening this weekend too, um, called The Surfer.

He takes his son back to surf where he surfed as a kid.

And as it turns out, it's been taken over by tough guys surfers.

And you might be laughing at that, the idea of tough guy surfers, because I did too.

When I lived in LA, I kind of laughed when somebody alluded to the fact that surfers were tough guys.

Because on the surface, at least, they don't seem like that.

They just seem like chill and riding waves, but they're extremely territorial.

And that was news to me.

That was an education.

So this movie, The Surfer,

Think it looks pretty good and it got good reviews, so I'll probably check that out, too So sinners and surfer I think are on my list,

so it was Nicholas Holt

Oh Nicholas Holt.

Oh, he's all over the place

Yeah, he was the he was Renfield's like he played his

assistant or something like that

and yeah, so It was a good movie though.

I enjoyed it.

It was it was a fun movie I got a rotten tomato

that

because

I remember that being out but not seeing it or

You know on Google users 72% like this movie.

Okay.

That's pretty good 58 58 and rotten tomatoes.

Yeah That's not awful So lots to watch especially if we're gonna have crummy weather.

I know Sunday is supposed to be like 60 and sunny so that'll be fun But we also I need to get to we had a couple of texts come in overnight from our pal bud

who listens between four and six when he's tossing papers out of his van.

I think that's how he described his gig.

But these came in very early, 4.27 a.m., very admirable bud.

Bud does more between, you know, four and five a.m.

than most of us do all day.

And hopefully he wasn't getting rained on this morning.

He says, Pichuaba, man who can fart in any key, ha, love your show, bud from Janesville.

Boy, I already regret bringing up that fart walk thing last

night.

I just, I went there and I haven't really gone there with the show, but it was so silly to make the term is go have a fart walk, get rid of the, you know, it's supposed to be healthy.

And you just don't, you don't need to make it clinical.

It's like, you got to rip one, go outside and be a gentleman.

We don't need to give it a name or a title for medicinal

purposes.

A gentleman's walk?

A

gentleman's walk, that's great.

I love it.

But texted us again, he says, hey, Pete, in my pocket, that was last night's question of the night.

What's in your pocket?

A beer bottle cap and my car keys.

Probably not a good combination.

Love your show, Bud from Jamesville.

But you know what?

At that hour, I'm not encouraging anybody to drink and drive, but I don't know.

Just make sure the papers get to where they get to.

And thank you for listening and thank you for the text, buddy.

Great to hear from you.

Ed in Madison says, keep up the good work.

You are awesome.

That might have been meant for Maggie, though.

I don't know if you could keep it right as we were going on the air.

And then Brian from Green Bay, that's the 920 says, OK, Yoko doing the show from bed.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah, I'm not above that.

Right.

If this weather continues, I will find a way to do nightlight from my comfortable warm bed because this is getting ridiculous.

I don't blame you, Brian, but I'm not saying you're innocent either.

All right, that catches us up, but I think we should get to the question of the night.

Let's talk about

the question.

Okay, question.

Question.

Question.

Pregunta.

Question.

Question.

Okay, I have a question.

Questions.

This question.

Domanda.

Question.

Question.

Questions.

What is your favorite, or least favorite, emoji?

We are just the emoji culture.

Even in business emails now, people put an emoji at the end of something.

And that fascinates me.

I remember as early as like, I don't know, 2009, 2010, whatever, if another man sent me a smiley face, I felt weird.

I wasn't comfortable with that, but now, look at me, I'm Mr. Emoji.

Laffy face, thumbs up, disco guy.

I'm like, so I've totally become part of the culture.

I've embraced emojis, but I don't know how I feel about it.

So.

What is your favorite or least favorite emoji?

We're letting you go two ways here.

You can go both ways.

Or you can pick a lane and tell us your favorite or your least favorite emoji.

8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2-8-5-5-7-5 Civic or text us on the app.

Very easy to use.

How great is the Civic Media app?

It's great.

I mean, rarely.

This is going to sound like I'm blowing smoke.

But sometimes when I'm out with my friends having a beer, I'll just talk about how great the Civic Media app is.

You just download it.

You click on the station.

It's

that simple.

And guess what?

You can just click the text button.

It gives you

the number right there.

Text in.

No excuses.

So

easy.

Get to it.

Or if you're listening on the stream or watching on the stream, I should say, at ex Facebook or YouTube, send us a message there.

We will read it on the radio.

What is your favorite or least favorite emoji?

Do you have one?

Do you want me to be

serious here?

I don't care.

I like the middle

finger emoji.

Really?

Sent it to all my friends all the time.

You know what?

I went through a phase a few months ago where I'd seen one too many people flipping off the camera and posting it on social media.

I'm like, enough.

This is stupid.

Like, OK, you're a rebel.

I get it.

Relax, easy rider.

But then I found a picture.

I was going through an old bin of pictures.

trying to find my light blue tux picture for when for when my straila was

here

and I couldn't find it but I found a picture of me in college with another guy and we're both flipping off the camera so I am a total hypocrite I admit that so but I think what I where I was going was I think it's funnier in emoji form it is funny looking emoji

it is and I'll say this with the you know flipping off the camera and

It's funny when you just are scrolling on like Facebook or something and that's what comes up.

Like, did you really have to share that to?

Right, you didn't need

to post that.

Yeah, you know, you're not breaking new ground.

I will say it.

Probably the most used one, though, is the laughing one.

I

send it when things aren't even that funny just to make them feel better.

Ellen DeGeneres used to do a great joke about how people would put in parentheses, ha-ha.

After they wrote something like, you wouldn't have figured it out.

If you have to say ha-ha, there's probably not a great

joke to

begin with.

But yeah, I totally get that.

So that's what we're talking about tonight, folks.

That's our question.

What is your favorite or least favorite emoji?

Feel free to chime in and we will read your text on the radio.

That's always fun.

I'm already anticipating what Bud is gonna say at 4.30 in the morning or where his head will be.

the newspaper when it comes to the newspapers exactly I read this in our our favorite hard news website puberty here we go 65% of people say they're afraid of phone calls

you know honestly I I don't answer phone calls that I don't know because I

don't

either obviously they're trying to sell you something or whatever

but I'm not afraid are you afraid to answer

Yeah, what if they tell me something and then I believe it?

You don't trust yourself.

I had one one time that said, I think I was around, I don't know, 17 or something around there and said I was in debt.

I was like, what?

I'm in debt.

How do they know that?

They don't.

Who is this?

They just, they're trying to get money.

All right, so that's what we're talking about folks.

What is your favorite or least favorite emoji?

That's tonight's question of the night.

It is a popcorn pick Thursday night.

Dobie Maxwell will be here making that and Jim Healy and I will talk great directors in the second hour.

It's gonna be a lot of fun and we'll we'll continue with this after the break this hate picking up phone calls.

I think I'm with you.

It's Pete Schwabba and Nightlight.

Great to have you with me on this Thursday on the Civic Media Radio Network.

last bite of gelato with the end of the break, and it didn't really work out very well.

I got one of those headaches now.

Hey, it's Pete Chihuahua.

This is Nightlight.

Welcome back, folks.

Great to have you with me on this rainy, horrible, miserable spring day in Wisconsin.

I know I'm usually like a pretty positive guy, but I've really had it.

I'm done with this weather.

And we were talking about during the break, and I probably should have brought this up on Monday, but it completely slipped my mind.

Shadr Sanders.

Oh, we got a phone call, okay.

Conrad's like, it's very similar to like when I get to a punchline, when I'm with a table full of people, and right as I'm about to say the punchline, the waitress walks up and I have to restart the whole story.

So, was that for me?

Just had to do, I have to take some tools to the box.

We

got problems with the phone again?

I'm just gonna eat, I'm just gonna eat yogurt all night, or gelato, sorry.

All right, our question of the night, folks, is what is your favorite or least favorite emoji?

Ed from Madison says, you're awesome too, but yes, that was from Maggie.

That's all right, Ed, Maggie is awesome.

I kind of figured that, but I just thought it was good to read a positive text, regardless of who it was directed to.

Lori from Hayward says, favorite ones, Lori from Hayward.

I don't see emojis though, do you?

If you scroll down?

Yeah, yeah, there's some emojis there.

That's kind of a

funny one.

It's the happy face with one eye closed and the tongue out.

Now, whoever designed that is really doing a deep dive because I don't think anyone's ever made that face.

Like most emojis are based on a face, a smile, tears coming down, whatever.

This is interesting, Laurie, because I've never seen an actual person make that face.

You know...

It is, I think most emojis aren't actually based on.

It's like something you wish you could do but you can't.

You don't think there's a bunch of guys in lab coats getting people to make faces and doing scientific research?

Yeah, this is clinical now.

Could be.

It's like the fart walk.

There we go.

That's the one I like.

And then she sent another one.

Laurie sent another one with a tongue sticking out and eyes like going all googly.

That's a funny one.

I think that looks like a dog.

The tongue out one?

Yeah, the tongue out with the sad eyes kind of thing.

Okay.

If you're, if you have an emoji and you want to share it with us folks, we can share it on the stream.

So feel free to do that.

Thank you, Lori.

Those are awesome.

We've got, oh yeah, the phones are going haywire.

What's the deal?

What if we have to make an emergency call?

We probably should use our personal cells then.

No, that's going to be affected too.

Mike, on the social media.

He texted a microphone, a movie camera, a box of popcorn, and a star.

I assume that was specifically geared toward nightlight because of what we talk about in the subject matter.

So that's awesome, Mike.

Thank you.

Mike also texted me the other day and he said, you no doubt know Mike Straylow is from Marinette.

He keeps just having my back.

But I'm like, like, how in the dark would I have to be to book this guy in the show?

and have no idea Mike had a connection to Marinette.

And have him take the Marinette quiz.

And have him take the Marinette

quiz.

Mike's awesome.

He always helps me out.

He's found us a few guests, actually, and he was an extra in the Godfather of Green Bay.

Yeah.

He was the guy who was squatting in the woods.

I know, I mean, it was phenomenal acting, but he was a real sport and a great guy.

Matt Harper on social media, oh, he gives, he gives, is that the rock and roll sign, the two fingers up?

You got the pinky and the index finger and then your thumb is holding down the two middle fingers.

I think that just means rock and roll Conrad did you see Matt Harper's?

Yeah,

it's rock and roll rock star

rock star

because

the other ones hang loose with it's just the thumb and

I use

that one.

Yeah, I like that one.

Yeah, I can dig it Thank you Matt awesome rock rap artist love Matt JB Thompson guy behind the guy Dan Davies has the best collection of emojis Dan has been on the show and Dan says coolio

If a guy uses the word Coolio, I guarantee he uses emojis.

Oh, yeah.

That just lends itself, that kind of language.

And he says, Dan Davies, please share one.

And I think Dan, he shared a kitty cat or something, a kitty cat rocking, rocking out.

I think this is just a personal conversation these two gentlemen are having on our text line, but thank you for playing, guys.

Nikki Sergeev, our pal Nikki, miss her so much.

Least favorite.

Thumbs up, she says, I loathe this emoji.

Boy, that's a strong.

I'm kind of indifferent.

It's like, all right, it's an emoji.

I don't love it or hate it.

But, you know,

I guess he hates it.

She probably doesn't like it because instead of getting an actual answer, some people just put a,

yeah, maybe that's why I can't be bothered by actually typing to you.

So here's a thumbs up.

I get that.

Todd Michaels says light bulb.

What's the other one Todd had on there?

I like the light bulb.

I don't know what the light bulbs for though.

Hey, we have a phone call.

Yes, we got on the phone.

Oh, we got Cindy from Appleton.

Oh, love, Cindy.

Cindy, how are you?

Hey, good.

How are you?

Doing great.

What's on your mind?

Well, my

least favorite moji is the poop moji.

Oh, that's a good one.

It makes a point, but it's kind of gross.

It is

gross.

It's like it reminds me like I got to go clean up after my dog or something.

It's terrible.

That's a great.

Do you have one you like or one you actually use, Cindy?

Well, smiley face I guess is my favorite but you know the like I say the poop one just kind of turns me right off

It kind of ruins your day.

Yeah

Thank you, Cindy appreciate the call.

Have a great night Ronnie on the text line from the 920.

Oh, he did the one with the or maybe it's a she I don't know but that with the eyes Looking straight ahead But the eyeballs are looking up and there's just a nothing expression.

I love that one too.

I like I also like the emoji with the little yellow

face, obviously, but it has the glasses on.

And it's just kind of a nothing expression, just glasses.

I like that one, too.

Can we squeeze a call-in counter?

Yeah, this is Ollie from

the Northridge.

All right, Ollie, what's up?

Hi, well, being a foodie, I like any of the food emojis.

Oh, sure.

And I'm borrowing my grandson's Android phone, and they have a ton more emojis than the iPhone does.

Oh, is that

right?

But I wanted to say that because of the game last night, I didn't get to hear your whole program.

But I was listening in the morning when your newspaper guy was out and about.

And I wanted to say what was in my pocket was a set of keys because I have been bothered by bears coming in.

garbage.

And so I use the key.

I sleep with the key and that way push the car alarm and scares the bear away.

Ali that is awesome.

We got a run.

We're about to get cut off by a break.

Thank you for the call.

OK.

And that's you need some scary emojis for the bears.

All right.

We're coming right back.

It's a nightlight with Peach

Waba.

It's time for the Nightlight Popcorn Pick of the Week, where we recommend a movie that you'll either enjoy or won't.

Here's your host, Pete Schwabba.

All right.

One of my favorite times of the week here on Nightlight is our Popcorn Pick of the Week.

And I always seem to, you know, we get some films that are popular or that you're not surprised by, and that's fine too, because sometimes they're great films and you just forget about them.

And then we get movies like we've had like with Todd Alba.

I don't even remember the name of Todd's, you know, but I have them all written down, but I love getting an obscure one that you don't see coming.

So we have no idea what is in store for the pick of the week from our current guest.

who is here tonight and going to make a said pick.

He is a Wisconsin comedian.

He's also done radio.

He teaches comedy.

He's got a new special.

He's all over the place.

I think he's written several books too.

He's a man of letters and he's here tonight on Nightlight.

Dobie Maxwell, hey buddy.

There are Pete of Schwab, but thanks for having me back.

It's a treat.

You know, when Johnny gave you the, you know, it used to be when he gave you the one of these, you know, and same thing, I was great on the first time and thinking, I wonder if we had a good time.

You called him, asked me back.

I got the call from Conrad.

I am delighted.

So I made the cut.

Thank you.

Dude, I, first of all, you know, sometimes you just, you were awesome.

That was a lot of fun.

And

sometimes you

just kind of forget, you know, it's like you've done radio and you're like,

oh yeah, I got

Adobe on again.

So

I'm glad you made the

time.

Thank you.

Love the show.

How you been?

You know, it's uh, I was assaulted in a parking lot and it's like when you assault the comedian, I'm pretty laid back.

It really is a hard job.

And I was, I'm a guest on a sports talk show in the Milwaukee area and I've become a fun.

I've been walking now.

Uh, I had type two diabetes.

I got diagnosed.

I've been walking 1100 straight days of a 10,000 steps a day.

That's five mile.

So I went in there and I brought her veggie tray and people made fun of me and it was fun.

So now it's become a tradition.

When I go in, I bring a veggie tray.

So I stopped at the grocery store, picked it up, I'm in the car.

We've all been in this situation.

It's you're right by the front door, five miles an hour, you're trying to leave the grocery store parking lot.

There was a, I don't want to call her a woman.

It was a female.

The NFL draft just was, she would have been about a third or fourth round nose tackle to Ed rusher, large woman.

And which is fine.

You know what?

Hey, we all have our thing.

And she thought I was trying to hit her.

I'm doing five miles an hour, Pete.

And she comes up and she just starts yelling and screaming.

It goes from zero to I'll kill you and learn how to drive.

And she's swearing at me.

So I'm thinking, I got to diffuse this with humor.

You know what I'm saying?

She's in a bad mood, probably had a bad life.

My window's down.

I said, hey, sweetie pants, are you coming on to me?

You talk to me like that.

You got to buy me dinner.

Okay, come on now.

Let's just calm down a little bit.

Pete, she walks up a foot from my face and spits right in my eye, spits in my face.

Have you ever had that happen?

I've never had that happen in my life.

Wow.

And I'm thinking, okay, this is a salt.

Now, do I have to go home and boil my face?

Do I have to drink bleach?

Maybe.

It could be, it could be, you know, COVID or trench mouth or foot and mouth or hoof and mouth, whatever it is.

So I'm thinking, okay, this day and age, every parking lot in America has probably has to have to be filmed.

So I'm just gonna, I'm going to go in, I'm going to report it.

Like, just look, this is not good.

I'm trying to, you know, be nice here.

I'm not trying to hit anybody.

Yeah.

You got this big piece of luggage.

And I'm assuming it was a purse.

And I looked at her and I said, what's that?

Your feed bag?

And she turns around and clocks me right in the face.

My glasses go flying.

I'm laughing.

I'm thinking, nothing good can happen here.

If I, if I attack her, which I'm not a violent person, but if I attack her, I beat up a woman.

If she beats me, I got beat up by a woman.

Nothing good is going to happen in this situation.

So I had to go fill out a police report and they looked at the video.

It's like John Madden with the Telestrator and said, well, we can't really be.

We can't be sure that she spit in your face.

And I was late for the radio show, so I had to go there.

And the guy said, I saw it wasn't his fault.

She spitted him.

It took two men to tackle her down.

And I had to leave.

I had to be on the radio station.

So I think I broke my finger on my left hand.

It looks a little

swollen there.

Yeah.

It looks like it was brought worse.

Oh my gosh.

And then my left knee is messed up.

So it messes my walk.

So you know what?

I'm thinking, OK.

I got to watch my smart mouth.

There's a lot of people that are that are just ready to go in the world right now.

Oh, yeah.

You're just picking time bombs.

I'm thinking, you know what?

You got to shut your mouth sometimes.

You know, there's so much to unpack there.

I have to go back to

start with that.

But that's

what's happened.

And that's a great intro.

And, you know, but you who made fun of it?

First of all, OK.

here in Wisconsin, you show up with a veggie tray and someone makes fun of you.

That seems wrong.

That was the first red flag of the whole story.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're

You are right, though.

Like, you have to be ready.

Like, you almost can't—like, I've never been—since I've been about 30, probably.

I haven't been afraid to confront people.

If something's BS— Sure.

And now, I got to be honest, it's not like I'm more—I'm just more hesitant because things escalate so quickly.

You don't know

who you're

dealing with.

You don't know if they have a gun.

It's just—it's a terrible time to confront people.

It's under five seconds to—I'll kill you.

Okay, maybe I was close to it.

Dude, it's five miles an hour.

We've all been in that situation.

It's a grocery store.

move your tuchess honey let's go it's like it's cars you gotta cross the thing but she just it just rage and anger i'm thinking okay she probably had a hard life i'm not trying to be but i tried to just freeze it with humor and she did she was not in a laughing mood i'll say

that you said she went up to the window i thought you were gonna say and we're now registered at bedbath and beyond but

it went the other

way and i can't like do you think you could have taken her

Let's, let's say you

guys did throw down.

No, I would say in the WWE, she would have been a light heavyweight champion.

She was a big woman there and she had the red hair, looked like, you know, Ronald McDonald with a condition.

And I said, you know, the tattoos, and I don't want to be stereotyped.

I don't judge people.

I really don't.

You know what?

I've had a hard life.

I'm just trying to get through.

But to go from that, you know, I'm trying to say, okay, let's have a laugh about it.

I got too close.

I'm sorry.

But this, no, this was not a.

I'm glad you're OK, dude.

Yeah, thanks,

man.

Yeah, that's scary.

Very unsettling to hear that right out of

the game.

Let's talk happy things.

So if you're up in Krivitz and somebody, I think in the city, that's why I like the hinterland.

You don't get that in Rhinelander.

Oh, come on over for the Packer Draft.

True.

Did

you watch your draft?

I know you're a Bear Stand.

It's totally cool.

But every football fan watches a draft, no matter what happened to be in Green Bay this year, but you watch it and you're just assuming your name's going to get called.

Well,

I wasn't assuming

my name was going to get called, but

I

did watch.

And yeah, I don't we talked a little bit about it because Conrad took some time off and went over to the draft.

Did you were you happy with how things unfolded?

You know what?

I just think it's cool, you know, because we're never going to how many people actually get to experience that.

Yeah.

Not even just get dropped in the first round and you're on TV and everybody's in your living room.

It's just a cool thing.

Most people don't get I would love the backup punter, the Buffalo Bill's draft Beach Schwabba.

called Cajun End-Arounder.

I don't think, I do think I've reached a point in my life where I live vicariously.

I can relate to people sitting in the living room.

And I'm genuinely happy for them.

I'm like, this is, what a great moment.

This must be for this person, you know?

Except

for

people who like Shadr Sanders, like we were talking about.

You know, I don't know what the guy's deal is.

I don't know what happened, but that was getting a little weird.

You know, it was, and you look at a situation where, hey, okay, his dad's an NFL coach.

Well, you know what, if you had a kid, you would protect your kid too.

Yeah.

And you know, at the end standards, I look at it, it's like.

I wasn't there.

I don't know.

I thought everybody

liked him though.

I thought Dion Sanders was really popular with like

the NFL

alumni and but I don't know anything about it.

So who

knows?

And Shadr seems, you know, he had a good good college career and his teammate went number two and it's like, hey, he's got a great chance now to prove everybody wrong.

Okay, I'm going to come in there and be good.

I look at it as a pot.

You wish the guy well.

I'm sure anybody bad.

Well, all right, let's go to, let's get this popcorn pick going here

and then we'll

talk about, you got some other cool stuff we have to talk about.

My guest is Dobie Maxwell.

He is here to make the popcorn pick of the week.

Dobie's a comedian, Wisconsin based.

He's lived all over though, but I know he loves his home state and he's got a few things we'll get to in just a minute, but I want to ask you like what

How do you watch movies, though?

Are you a theater guy or

at home?

I thought about this when you approached me and said, I love this concept.

I'm old school and I'm cheap, okay, which I don't know that's gonna be, and I'm from Wisconsin.

So I went to a rummage sale maybe three or four years ago.

And it was so funny, this married couple, they're moving out of their house.

And this guy had about four or 500 DVDs in the binders.

Yeah.

And

all the guy movies, all the Star Wars, all the Godfathers, all the Guy Hard movies, just everything.

And I just got a wild hair up my nose and I said, how much for all of these?

And his wife perked up, you can have them all for $100.

because she wanted to have gone.

You could tell that that was a big bonus content.

She wanted to have gone.

And the guy's like, oh, well, that's all I said.

Well, sold $100.

So before he could say no, I bought them.

So I went through them all and I figured it out.

They come to about 14 cents a DVD.

for all these and there's great movies in there and there's like 400 of them and all the guy movies in there so I'm thinking okay I have DVD players like 40 bucks at you know Menards has them and I pop in movies and I you know I own them I can watch them as many times as I want to I can put them on pause I can change my transmission fluid I can do whatever I want to and watch them that's how I like to watch movies and you say what what I like to make my own food and watch them so

That's probably not the sexy answer, but that's how I like.

Hey, however you do it.

I mean, I know there's this big movement now to try to get people back to the theater.

I'm all for that.

I love

I love going

to the movies, but I probably watch more at home than I do in the theater just by way of convenience.

So no, I think that's a great answer.

What's the last film you've seen in the theaters, dope?

Oh, man, that's a really good question.

It's been a while and.

I can't that's a good you caught me off guard there.

I can't God father been that long.

You got Father Green Bay.

I think was I really don't recall.

Okay.

Give me off off guard.

Yeah, do you I love the I do see DVDs at garage sales once in a while and I don't go to many of them but if it's like on the way home

and

I see something I'll stop.

but I rarely like the movies.

Like it'll be like a 70s or like Steven Segal movies or something.

I wouldn't even pay 14 cents for something like that.

But like, I, and I also hate, this is what drives me crazy when I'm walking through the garage sale and the owner is bird-dogging me, trying to give me

the history

of every little

item.

I'm like, I don't, I'm not going to do the same thing you did with your stuff.

Just back off and let me, you know, kind of visualize this end table in the basement, you know.

So,

but anyway,

what is your, do you like, let's, all right, let's do this though.

If you were watching a movie in a theater and a bunch of people were talking, and I run into this often in Marinette, it's either older people who think they're in their living room and they talk loud or the kids who are in there just hanging out and wanted to pay 10 bucks to do it.

I don't get that either, but what would you do?

Do you confront them or do you just kind of let it pass?

You know, again, I try to be nice and after this latest incident, I don't know if I'm going to confront anybody in my life.

You know, I'll get, I'll get whacked at the old folks home.

But I like to, you know, do the whole cough thing like, like you got whooping cough, like, you know, go right behind him.

You try to be nice about it.

It's like, shh.

And some people, depending on where you are, will write to them.

We all paid to get in.

Isn't it fair?

Talk afterwards.

Go outside and talk.

You don't have to.

I did that too and I Conrad I told you this when I went to see I think it was long legs kind of a creepy movie And I get in there and I sit down.

I'm the only one in the theater So I kind of want somebody else to show up so I'm not on my phone like I could be in my living room So this couple comes in and they sit I'm in the last row.

They sit right in front of me Like it's their favorite spot.

You got the whole theater.

Yeah, and they sit right in front of me So I had to be the guy to leave

and go somewhere else in the theater.

Oh, God, that drove me crazy.

Now, see, okay, now, that's cool.

What I would have done is just reached over and had helped myself to popcorn and snow caps, you know, taking a suck off the big Pepsi.

You sit that close, you're paying for my snacks.

I believe you.

I believe that you would do

that.

Do you have a favorite genre, dope, of movie you like to watch?

You know, the guy movies, the mob movies are kind of cool.

Yeah.

Like stuff you'd never do.

And comedy, I don't know, as a comedian, do you watch comedies?

I do.

Once, you know, it's hard to get me.

So again, I love I love Godfather Green Bay.

It exceeded my expectations.

It was wonderful.

But not a lot of comedies do with with the masses.

I'm with

you.

I don't tend to think it's funny.

I know disrespect there.

But we're comedians.

We think differently.

And I like I'm with you.

I like to watch something different typically if there's like a new comedy that's all the rage.

and it's a good movie and not just a silly one line, you know, whatever I'll do it.

But all right, we're going to get Dobie's pick.

We're going to do a very quick break and then we'll come back and I've got a couple more questions for Dobe.

We'll get his popcorn pick of the week and then we're going to talk about his new comedy special, which is pretty cool.

This is Pete Schwab and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.

Welcome

back.

You have got Night Light with Pete Schwabba.

It is a pleasure to be here tonight and thank you for being with me folks.

Our question of the night is what is your favorite or least favorite emoji?

So send those in, and if you want to send a picture with your text, we can share that on the stream as well.

We've got some good ones so far, and we will get to text in just a little while.

Right now, we usually, I'll tell you, Dope, usually our popcorn pick of the week is done by now, but

that

story was so epic.

I don't mind.

It's worth it.

I have a favorite emoji, too.

The one with the party hat, where they're blowing the noise maker.

Right.

I

like that one.

I like

that one,

too.

And I like the guy in the disco outfit is kind of disco-ing.

When

I first saw that, I

actually laughed.

And now I'm the guy that shares it.

So let me ask you this.

A couple more questions, and we'll get your pick.

Do you have a favorite movie star or someone you'll just go see a movie because this movie star or stars is in it?

Yeah, John C. Riley of all people.

Oh, nice.

I just have that guy.

He does comedy.

He's great.

And he just, every movie he's in, I love.

And the other one is Michael McKean.

He is in everything.

He's in Spinal Tap.

He is in Better Call Saul.

He's in just all my favorite movies.

He was, he was Eleni or Squiggy.

Not that

I love that

show, but I grew up in Milwaukee.

I just, I just, I would love to meet him and say, you, if you're in it, I'll watch.

He's one of those

guys.

I don't know.

When he achieved this or there are certain guys that get to that that point in their career where everybody just wants them in their project

And

he's great as an actor.

He's funny.

He just can do everything and he that's a great Those are

probably a good guy to like in comedy.

It's like you have to be the funniest.

No, you got to be good in the car I'd rather

be with a guy on the road who's good in the car than on stage because on stage

I can walk out of

the room, but if you're stuck with someone in the car

Yeah, it's it's trouble.

All

right, so so what was I going to ask you?

OK, so what is your favorite movie snack, though?

When you're watching movies in the theater or at home, or is it the same thing?

Well, in the theater, actually, I like raisinets and goobers because I like the raisins and the peanuts.

It can't be.

It's got to be a mix.

You eat them together.

I do eat them

together.

And I know that's

probably against the movie snack laws.

And I don't know, but it's because double, it's only, you know, it's $14 for one box.

You got to have two.

But I do like, I do like that.

And at home, I know this is weird.

I grew up in Wisconsin.

I have an affinity for liverwurst.

I just do brown swagger.

A good brown swagger is great.

I love it in a sandwich form and I have a good thick liverwurst sandwich.

I love sauerkraut.

I know that's bad.

I eat weird stuff.

But that's what I like.

I'm home watching these DVDs.

I can do it.

So nobody has to do it but me.

I love it.

I don't bother anybody else.

What do you're making a face Conrad?

What is that face

like?

I don't like I don't like that

food or I do like

that.

My dad is trying

to get me to try liverwurst for probably my whole life and I still will not do it.

Conrad,

it'll

open new vistas in your personality.

What is it?

What is Braunschweiger, too?

Is that just sausage?

No, it's liver.

It's liverwurst.

I don't know if it's the German word for it, but it's just like using it.

It's a good Braunschweiger.

At the store, they have the cheap ones.

I don't know what part of the pig or any other critter that they chop off, but Braunschweiger means the creme de la creme.

Probably

best to ask questions.

No.

I

did that too.

Whenever we would come to Milwaukee, my mom's family, it was from Milwaukee.

The Murphy's were

from

Milwaukee, and my uncle Pat would use the, my mom's brother would put the raw hamburger with onions and salt and pepper on rye bread.

Yes, sir.

And I tried one just to try it, and I don't know why people eat that.

Is it a badge of honor?

Is it kind of like...

Well, I think it comes from about 14 paps blue ribbons and he's just washing them out.

But what I like to do is that's a New Year's Eve tradition and where I come from and Wisconsin.

Well, that I get.

Yeah.

If you make an event somehow, but just

really 24 seven.

All

right.

I like it.

If I'm going to the electric chair, that's what I'm having.

Cannibal sandwiches, liverwurst and everybody.

The person will be like, what did

he ask for?

I'm glad he's gone.

Yeah.

All right.

Myself.

What about the movie, dope?

Which

one did I pick?

Yeah.

Oh, no.

No, I'm sorry.

What about if you're at the movie?

What's your favorites?

Oh, you said I'm sorry.

You told me raisins.

Gubers and raisin that's together got to

be the peanuts and the raisins together

We got a text on the stream PJ says liver worst is and then emojis green face

Give

me the

bar face.

A puke emoji.

All right.
