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

Let's

Pete Schwaba

do it.

Let's do it, folks.

Welcome to Nightlight, ladies and gentlemen.

It is Thursday night.

Such a great night.

Heading into a long weekend.

A little extra long for me, because I'm off tomorrow night, too.

But long weekend right around the corner, folks.

And I'm sure it's going to be well earned.

Whatever you're doing to get you to this point, you're almost there.

And you can sit back this weekend, have some bratwurst, some, what else you got?

Conrad sausages.

Burgers.

Burgers, hot dogs.

Beer.

Just stuff your faces until you're sick.

That's what long weekends are for.

What are you gonna eat?

Well, seriously, what, are you going to a cookout or what do you think you're gonna eat this

weekend?

You know, I gotta keep it healthy

Pete Schwaba

for

myself, you know.

We

don't

Pete Schwaba

have to.

Got

some chicken, some rice.

some

Pete Schwaba

eggs and

egg whites.

I got the good stuff.

Pete Schwaba

That's great.

Are you going to like a barbecue or something?

No, I just, you know, that's just what I eat.

It's just how you roll.

Pete Schwaba

However,

yeah, you know, last week I was like, you know, I need to be a little bit more healthy with what I'm eating.

So I asked ChatGPT to make me a fitness plan.

Seriously?

And I think it did pretty

good.

Wow.

You know.

I know what I'm doing in the gym, but when it comes to, you know, eating the right stuff, it can be hard sometimes.

So.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, it is.

And it's hard.

Like for a guy like you, you're still a young guy.

You could probably eat crappy food for another 10 years.

Well,

Pete Schwaba

you don't want to.

I'm not saying you should.

Well,

see, I have a very slow metabolism.

So it adds up pretty quickly.

Pete Schwaba

You do have a slow metabolism.

Oh, yeah.

How do you

know that?

Well,

Pete Schwaba

you measure that

I think it was the doctor that told me that when I was younger

Pete Schwaba

So it's like a clinical thing like you actually have a slow metabolism.

I think

I think it's something with with blood drawn that you can see that Oh, wow, cuz I think when I was younger kind of did some blood tests with with my mom when I was younger, but Interesting.

Yeah, you know, it's just you gotta eat right ends Absolutely, I think in it's it's time.

I'm turning 26 and

Two weeks.

Pete Schwaba

Are you really?

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

And the longer you like, I ate a lot of fast food when I was younger, especially when I was doing stand up and on the road, I ate like crap.

And I feel like I'm, you know, you kind of pay the price.

You eventually have to pay the check on that.

So the quicker you can get the healthy eating.

Yeah.

at a younger age, I think you're better off.

Even like weightlifting, all that stuff, you pay, it pays dividends down the road.

So, all right, this has been Health Talk with P. Schwab and Conrad Krieger.

Hey, welcome folks.

This is, we got a great show tonight.

First of all, we're, okay, I got to kind of plug both shows because we're not going to be here tomorrow night, but we have a, how does this sound?

How is this for a rocking show where we are not even in the studio tomorrow?

WBAY's Morning Anchor Emerson Layman is going to join us.

Director Michael Collins will be here talking about his movie, Almost Sunrise, which is a documentary about two veterans that walk from Milwaukee to LA to increase awareness for veteran suicides.

Beautiful film.

And that's the new WISCO Weekend Classic Pick of the Week from Yours Truly, and we'll also play on the network.

Who else do we have Eliza Eliza will be here

new civic media

Pete Schwaba

latest yeah, and then it's a bar man Friday night Terry Barr has agreed to Let us pre-record her and she's a trooper and that's a four guest show tomorrow night folks So all original stuff you're not gonna want to miss it.

There will be no question.

Unfortunately, which is part of the

That's the only drawback, because it's more fun when we get to read texts and take calls and all that kind of stuff.

But we can do that tonight, folks.

The phone lines are open, as far as you know.

And we do have a great... Let's do the question of the night, and then I'll tell what awesome guests we have coming

up.

Let's talk about the question.

Okay, question.

Question.

Question.

Pregunta.

Question.

Question.

Okay, I have a question.

Questions.

This question.

Domanda.

Question.

Question.

Pete Schwaba

All right.

The question of the night is what celebrity passing would make you the most sad?

And I thought of this last night because we've been talking about George Wendt the last couple nights and it's always harder to me when people that bring laughter pass.

They leave a legacy of just total laughter in a career like even George Wendt, you got Cheers, he was in Fletch,

He was an airplane too like everything.

He was in second city.

Everything George went did Basically resulted in making other people's lives more pleasurable through laughter, which I think is fantastic He's also Conrad.

I don't know if you knew this.

He's Jason Sudeik is his uncle Ted lasso himself.

Yeah, cool.

I Don't know how I didn't really research that but I thought that was kind of a cool nugget Anyway, so it got me thinking what celebrity passing would make you the most sad?

I'm gonna say right now for me, as much as laughter is a big part of my life, I love to laugh, I love to watch comedians and funny movies, and I grew up watching all that stuff.

The biggest loss for me personally, I think, would be Bruce Springsteen.

That would make me the most sad.

So I'll say the boss, I'll start things off.

Springsteen is 76, still playing three hour concerts, still singing about what he believes in.

That would be a sad day for me.

And my whole family really.

I think the guy has walked the walk his whole adult life and even people that disagree with him politically.

Look, those have been his songs his whole career.

He's been singing about the working man and all that kind of stuff.

He is the genuine deal whether you like him or not.

That would make me the most sad.

Conrad, what say you?

You know, I would probably say Adam Sandler for me.

Okay.

Because I still really like his movies and what he's putting out I think.

It brings like it's like a comfort movie

Pete Schwaba

right

like it's always I know what I'm gonna get it's gonna be funny I'm gonna enjoy it So I'd say him because I wouldn't want to miss those

Pete Schwaba

movies brought a lot of laughter in his life a lot of people So that would be a big one too.

So this is kind of an honor of George went who I didn't know But I just it just got me thinking so what celebrity passing would make you the most sad?

Let us know folks 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2

8-5-5-7-5-CIVIC.

You can text us on the

Kathryn Lake

app,

Pete Schwaba

or if you're watching on the stream, shoot us a text on the stream on YouTube, Facebook, or X, or the WGBW website, the WISS website, Google.

No, we're not on Google.

You can't watch us on Google.

Yet.

Yet.

You can type in Nightlight with P-12, and then there's links on Google to get to a stream.

Pete Schwaba

A lot of other ways.

Quicker ways to do it though, right?

Don't make extra work for yourself.

It's funny you mentioned AI because we've got a song.

My buddy Mike used AI to make a Pete Schwabba song.

And we will play that in the next segment.

So it's very funny.

It's silly.

And Mike is doing it as a joke, I want to say.

I mean, we're friends.

He likes me.

I think he likes my work, but the song is utterly ridiculous and funny, and you will crack up.

And I believe my name is repeated twice in the chorus, which is just a strange thing.

But I was cracking up earlier listening to it.

We'll play that in the second segment tonight, folks, and get your reaction in, and we'll read your text.

And we've got a great show tonight.

The Doctors in Recital.

Kim Shefchick and the Peots, right?

Yes, we'll be here in studio will singing to their hearts content at 635 they got a big event Cure for cancer.

What's it called Conrad?

I got it.

I got I had the poster right here.

No, I can't remember it Kim sent it to me stand by because this is a big deal This is so much fun.

They do the doctors and recital concert every year, which is for a great cause on stage for cancer Which happens in July they're gonna sing we'll probably have them back before then and try to help them increase awareness

for On Stage for Cancer, a great, great event.

And the show is called Serenades for Supper.

So there you go.

That's fun.

So they'll be here in just a few minutes.

Always fun to have Kim and the Peots in the studio.

And then my pal and Milwaukee based filmmaker, producer, director, cinematographer and film professor, Tate Bunker will be here.

Tate's done some great work, and he is an artist, and we will talk to him about his process and some of his movies.

It's just great stuff.

So there you go.

That's a show.

Let us know.

We'll read your text on the radio.

What you think, what celebrity passing would affect you the most or make you the most sad?

We got a call, Conrad?

Yes, we do.

Brian

from

Pete Schwaba

Milwaukee.

All right.

Brian, what's up, buddy?

Hey, not much.

How are you?

Pete Schwaba

Doing great.

Good.

Yeah, the one passing that would really affect me and get to be would be Dick Van Dyke.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, wow.

Now, listen.

He's still alive.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, he is in his mid-90s,

I think.

Almost late 90s now.

I think he just turned 98 or 99 like last week or this week.

Pete Schwaba

I think you're right.

Isn't it?

Okay, so that's really interesting to me that he's your choice because he is so elderly.

But he's left so much in his career for us to enjoy that that would still affect you like that.

That's a great answer

I because I remember watching him as a kid when I was younger Yeah, I prefer watching the classic shows like Dick Van Dyke and all those other shows that were on TV land at the time Because I prefer that over what was on regular TV and I still do

Now I don't

mind watching me TV and you know, Nick and I and stuff like that, but he

just like Lucille Ball and a lot of those others have great legacies.

And considering that he's in his late 90s and he's still singing Barbershop, he's still doing dance and he's still making appearances

Pete Schwaba

at the

work shows.

I mean.

Pete Schwaba

That's insane.

So great.

Thanks for the call, Brian.

Outstanding.

Thank you.

Yeah, Dick Van Dyke's a good one.

And that shows you what kind of track record he has as a celebrity, as an entertainer, as an artist, leaving behind so much stuff.

For people to enjoy great call Let's see what else we got.

Oh mission impossible the first mission impossible was released today movie in the Tom Cruise Genre if you will 1996 and now here we are on the cusp of the eighth film in the series being released The final reckoning mission impossible the final reckoning drops in theaters this weekend.

I am I'm so excited.

We got a big group

Go on Sunday.

We'll have a celebration of life on Saturday for a friend of mine and we're gonna go see Mission Impossible and I cannot think of a better way to spend Well under the circumstances anyway Memorial Day weekend so Mission Impossible Alien 3 dr. Quinn medicine woman the movie was released on this day I don't know if you've seen that Conrad but I know I do remember the Simpsons used to kind of not make fun of But they used to have a lot of fun with dr. Quinn medicine woman

And that was one of Homer's favorite shows.

So that's the show, folks.

We've got Doctors and Recital here in studio at 635, singing the night away.

They're going to make the popcorn pick of the week also.

So they're going to sing and tell you a movie that they all really love and give you a recommendation.

So we're getting a lot of bang for our buck at 635 with the Doctors and Recital, and then Tate Bunker at 735, Milwaukee based director.

We'll talk about that.

And in just a couple of minutes.

You're gonna You just have to hear this this song was written for me by my friend Mike all with AI and You know I Can't believe it.

I'm sure AI does more important more important things than writing songs about radio hosts, but I Will say for what it is Conrad it sounds amazing Right yeah, I'm not saying it's a good song

Okay, but it sounds you know, I mean it's clever what Mike did is really funny So I think you guys will like it.

We'll read some of your texts.

We're doing all of that We got a lot going on here tonight.

Pete Schwaba

Pete Schwabba for this evening's broadcast Conrad Krieger riding shotgun as he so often does.

We're gonna premiere an AI song about Pete Schwabba.

Probably the only radio show in America.

You'll hear play such a song given that I'm the host but it is kind of funny.

I think you'll get a kick out of it.

We'll read your texts.

We have a phone call, Conrad?

Yes, we do.

Just bang these calls out, huh?

Yeah, Richard from Walker Show.

Hey, Rich, how are ya?

Hey, I'm doing pretty good.

I got a true story memory of a humorous happening for you.

Okay

I'm standing in a bus stop shelter and there's a gentleman in there and we're talking him and I find out he's a veteran Okay, and he was in Vietnam And we're talking and I told him, you know, I just heard Bob Hope died and he said no, he didn't die.

He's in the hospital

So I said, well, I think I heard he died, but he's really old.

He's probably not coming out.

It doesn't sound good.

And he said, well, I don't know.

He said, you know, I met Bob Hope.

And I said, really?

He said, yeah.

He said, when I was in Vietnam, I went to a show and I personally met him and he helped me get through the war of Vietnam.

I said, that's pretty cool.

He said, matter of fact, I became a fan club member and I write letters to him.

No kidding.

And I said, really?

So now what happened is on public radio after Bob died, I hear his daughter's interview.

His daughter's got a book out about him.

And she told him in the hospital bed the story of two guys had a bus stop shelter.

saying you died and she said he laid in bed there laughing so hard he couldn't stand it and uh that's a story and i think it's a true happening

Pete Schwaba

that is a

great

Pete Schwaba

story you

know you saw us talk about dying in front of the fans yeah dying on stage so

There it is written by a veteran in his club, fan club.

Pete Schwaba

Fantastic.

Thank you so much, Richard.

That was

fantastic.

Have a

Pete Schwaba

great day.

You too, buddy.

Uh, great stuff.

We have another call.

Uh, yeah.

Let's take, uh, let's take that call too.

That's hilarious.

Uh, Dave on the stream says Morgan Freeman.

Oh, that's good.

Clint Eastwood and Steve Martin.

He's got three and those are all Titans of industry.

of the show biz industry.

Yeah, those would all be huge losses.

Morgan Freeman's got to be in his 80s.

I know Clint Eastwood's in his 90s.

But great answers.

Who do we

have?

The phone is just a little.

The phone's messing up.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

Caller, I think it was Susan.

Yeah, Susan.

Try us back if you would.

We're having some phone issues, but sorry about that.

All right, we got to play this song.

This is my buddy, Mike Desitel, who is from Marinette.

He was an extra in my film, The Godfather of Green Bay.

He is a...

He's a titan of social media.

I will say that Mike is all over the place He worked here in Green Bay in the news game for years and years wrote for the Marinette Eagle Harold He's had a long career in media and TV and he's a really good dude and he wrote wrote this song About me and it's a little weird to introduce a song about yourself, but it's all tongue-in-cheek And I think you guys will get a kick out of this.

What is this called Conrad?

Which one today peach while was nightlife peach while was nightlife not nightlight well

We know what we're doing

here.

Alright, go ahead and play it.

We'll see you in a couple minutes.

That

Pete Schwaba

song actually goes on for 18 minutes.

It's like the Inna Gata De Vita.

Mike, thank you buddy, that was great.

Now we found out, we'll have to get to this Tuesday, but there was another song.

He slowed it down.

It's one you can slow dance to a song about peach wabba that you can slow dance to which I think is exactly what the world needs right now,

you know Todd on the stream said new theme

Pete Schwaba

I Think I think we make that the thing that was a I yeah the singer the music everything

All you have to do is type in a little description

Pete Schwaba

Crazy,

and it just makes a song for you.

Pete Schwaba

Thank you.

What

he typed

Pete Schwaba

in that was fun.

I'll probably peach wabba peach wabba

I'm surprised

Pete Schwaba

that I got the name right.

It's a dessert for all.

Thank you, Mike.

That was fun.

And we'll do it.

Maybe Tuesday we'll have some more.

We can make that our question.

We can have people choose between the two different Peach Wabba songs.

There we go.

Todd Michael says, yes.

Killer theme.

All right, Todd.

Mike, your work is getting noticed here.

Thank you, buddy.

All right.

Our question of the night is what celebrity passing would make you the most sad?

Getting our social media responses up and running here.

Rich LaCassio says, Billy Joel.

Todd Michaels, David Letterman.

I'm with you, Todd.

Love, love DL.

Nick Wallander from Comedy City says that Larry McCarron or Bill Jartz, a couple of local heroes, absolutely.

Nikki Zerjav, our pal Nikki, who we miss very much, Tom Hanks, the beloved Tom Hanks.

That would be a big loss too.

Daniel Wheeler, I love Daniel's texts.

He says, Kate McKinnon, because of the heartbreak it would cause to Conrad.

Not because she would be dead at 30-something, because of how it would affect Conrad.

Yeah.

Conrad's response.

I'm appreciative of that.

Daniel Wheeler, you're right about that.

All right, we'll read more of your texts as the show progresses.

Please be part of the show.

It's always more fun when you guys participate.

Coming up next, the Doctor's Inrecital in the House.

Thursday nightlight episode.

I am Pete Schwabba.

Great to have you with me.

My weekend is starting tonight, folks.

Hanging out here, the weather's supposed to get a little better.

So hopefully everyone will have a great weekend on Memorial Day.

Exciting.

Tate Bunker is here.

He is a Milwaukee based director who will join the show in the second hour at 7.35.

Pete Schwaba

We are good.

So much fun.

We are so grateful to be back and we're wearing actually our other hat tonight with on stage for cancer, which is conflicting, right?

Because doctors and recital.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

Like Dr. Jekyll, doctors and recital and then on stage for cancer hide.

Pete Schwaba

Well, I thought.

So this does not that's not like the name of your you guys need like a just a threesome band name, you know But

is it

three beer, but you just mispronounced it free beer

free beer

Because

if it's not free,

nobody's going to come to listen to

us.

No, but there's three of us.

Oh, come on, Paul.

Three.

We meant to say three beers.

I'm pretty

sure a lot of people would show up.

It was threesome, too.

Right?

Pete Schwaba

With the wrong idea, maybe.

Yeah,

exactly.

Pete Schwaba

Show up with a bottle of L of Kristen Lyrely was here.

We know what she'd bring.

OK, that's inside joke.

They don't go over well on radio.

Either way, whatever you guys call yourselves or whatever your side hustles or hobbies are, I don't want to know.

I'm just glad to have you guys here.

We

love being here,

Pete Schwaba

and we

love when you let us talk about things that are important to us.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, well, and we were talking about the four of us getting tattoos.

We were.

Pete Schwaba

During maybe one visit, and we could do that on

the air.

What do you think about that?

Do

you need a tattoo artist?

I could do it.

I'd never done one before.

Oh, well, you sold that.

What's a better

way to

learn?

No.

Pete Schwaba

You can

start on Pete.

I

Pete Schwaba

would say that by the time you

get to me, it might be okay.

Pete Schwaba

I don't know what he's doing.

This is the popcorn pick of the week, by the way.

Yes.

Did we hear the music and I just missed it?

It's time for the night light go and pick of

the week.

Will we recommend a movie that you'll either

Pete Schwaba

enjoy or won't.

Here's your host,

Pete Schwaba

Pete Schwabba.

All right.

The doctors in recital, Kim Shevchick, Paul and Chris Piat are here and they are beautiful singers.

We're going to talk to them a little bit about their movie preferences.

Thank you for agreeing to do the popcorn pick of the week.

Yes,

Pete Schwaba

even though as I understand the pee outs just found out about this a couple

but they love surprises.

Pete Schwaba

Oh,

yeah Sure do

Pete Schwaba

all right.

So since there are three of you will do this will do this in order This will be very orderly.

Let's start with movies and then before we hear your beautiful voices, which I can't wait for but What genre is typically your favorite?

Let's start with Kim

I like historical fiction.

Pete Schwaba

Oh,

OK.

I specifically like a little bit of drama and a little bit of love story.

World War Two movies.

Those are my favorite.

Pete Schwaba

Nice.

All right.

It depends on my mood.

I mean, the rom-com is always nice when

Pete Schwaba

you

just want to kind of not think.

But I do like action.

You do?

I did not know this about her.

Pete Schwaba

Wow, you guys are.

It's supposed

to be friends.

Pete Schwaba

Wow.

We

don't watch

movies

Pete Schwaba

together.

Because neither of us are good at watching movies.

No.

No, we're both like

both adjusting during a movie.

They'll be

creating a nonprofit organization while they're watching

Pete Schwaba

a movie.

Yes, that's actually true.

Pete Schwaba

That's type A movie watching.

What about you, Paul, what's your favorite

genre?

I don't know if I have a favorite, but I do enjoy the psychological thriller.

Pete Schwaba

Ooh,

okay.

I like something

that...

Keeps you thinking about it for a day or two.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, you know, have you ever seen house of games?

Joe Montaña That's kind of a con hustle.

Have you ever seen the sting?

Yes,

Pete Schwaba

Paul Newman Robert Redford classic.

Yeah, great stuff Those are all outstanding genres.

How do you guys like to watch movies?

Let's start with Paul this time You like to go to the theater or watch him at home.

What's your

tactic?

I like snuggling up on the coach at home.

Okay

It

Pete Schwaba

was

fun,

Pete Schwaba

but can you can you watch a movie like that?

I feel like I'd fall asleep in about two seconds

Oh at home all the

way she'll be sleeping right away

Pete Schwaba

Okay,

well at home because I can do things people in the

theater

So while I will multitask three movie I actually like going to the theater.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, I mean

I love the big screen.

I like the smell of the popcorn I

Pete Schwaba

always get

popcorn.

I always get snacks.

I'm that person who's got the full

Lap.

Pete Schwaba

It is tough because when you're at the theater, you don't look at your phone as much.

Hopefully not at all.

You've silenced it and that.

When my wife and I watch movies at home, one time we had one, we had

Kathryn Lake

one

Pete Schwaba

on, we have a good sized couch and we were both kind of laying there, kind of cuddled up watching a movie.

And I could tell she was asleep.

She's laying in front of me so I can't see her eyes, but not a peep, the whole movie.

She fell asleep during the opening credits, wakes up during the closing credits, and says, so what happened?

Oh, man.

Oh, that's my favorite.

Nope.

Nope.

You get to watch it again.

Exactly.

So that happened with me and my husband.

We were watching Conclave.

He fell asleep at the beginning.

He wakes up towards the end.

He goes, what happened?

I said,

Pete Schwaba

they picked a new pope.

Yeah.

Oh, that's the way to go.

Did you hear when they picked the new pope, all the Cardinals were watching Conclave?

No

Pete Schwaba

way.

I swear, that was a real

story.

Do you think they watched it and were like,

Pete Schwaba

oh,

that's not how it happens?

Do you think they critiqued the?

Pete Schwaba

Totally.

Well, apparently it was pretty close to, are you Catholic Paul?

Yes.

Okay, 16 years in Catholic school.

Yes.

Now, first they picked a guy who was a mechanic.

So maybe they didn't know what they were doing and they went to the movie that, no,

I

Pete Schwaba

don't know.

All right, let's keep this going.

All right favorite movie snack Kim start here.

Well, okay.

I like traditional popcorn, but I like milk duds

Hates

I

love that

you

can eat it and it takes like 20 minutes to disappear.

That's

the worst thing about

this.

You are no longer doing my tattoo.

Yeah,

exactly.

Sorry, you just lost

Pete Schwaba

that.

Conrad hates chewy goodness.

What about you?

Oh,

that's my answer.

Pete Schwaba

Popcorn and

milk duds.

Pete Schwaba

Now, my wife likes popcorn and like bunch of crunch or chocolate, but...

The Milk Duds is interesting.

I don't even know what a milk.

It's

chocolate and caramel.

Pete Schwaba

But is it chocolate or

something?

Oh,

yeah.

Coated in

chocolate.

Pete Schwaba

Look, I haven't had a Milk Duds

since the

70s because I'm kind of a contemporary guy.

That's one of my earliest memories is going to see Superman in the movie theater and having Milk

Duds.

Was that your first movie?

It might have been my first movie.

It's either that or Benji.

My first movie in the theater was Top Gun.

Oh.

No

kidding.

Oh, you're a kid, Paul.

I am.

He is,

Pete Schwaba

baby.

He's the

youngest.

No, not the one that just came out, Pete.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

Yes, you're fourth.

What is your favorite snack, Paul?

Well, I do like the milk though as well, but Raisinets.

Raisin'

Pete Schwaba

us?

Another popular one, absolutely.

Doctors in Recital, if that is your real name, are here in the studio.

Kim Chef Chick, Paul and Chris Piat, they're gonna sing for us soon.

We're talking about movies right now and making the popcorn pick of the week as we do every Thursday night here at Nightlight.

So where do you guys, let me ask you this.

You're at a theater and there's a bunch of young punks, John running their traps.

What do you do?

You tell them to be quiet?

Do you get the theater people to do it?

Do you give them dirty looks?

You

Pete Schwaba

ignore it.

I'm a dirty looker.

I'm

Pete Schwaba

all over

that.

She's a middle school teacher, so she's got this.

Oh, yeah.

Mama

puts her foot

down.

With the three of us in the theater together, Kim and I aren't even going to have to do anything.

We're just going to let her do the thing, and

we're just going to keep watching the movie.

OK.

It's usually just a look.

Yeah.

You can do it with a look.

But if I have to go over a look, I can do that.

Pete Schwaba

Here's what I do.

I just say typically, I'll just say, shh, kind of because I feel like that's sort of not as invasive as, hey, come on.

or seriously, or this isn't your living room or something like that.

I've done that on occasion, but typically I just like to do a subtle shush,

right?

Is it effective?

Does it work?

Pete Schwaba

Sometimes, yeah.

It doesn't happen that often, but we have a theater in Marinette where sometimes kids just go there to hang out.

They're like, you know what?

I'd rather pay eight bucks and talk somewhere where there's sound and picture going on instead of in their cars or whatever.

So that drives me crazy, but I don't know.

What's the last movie you saw in the theater?

Pete Schwaba

Warfare.

War.

Really, a deep movie.

A couple of weeks ago, it's a new movie about Iraq.

The director is a guy who, it was his platoon in Iraq and they came under heavy fire and I'll watch war movies.

I don't like to watch them, but this was an incredible, you love

war movies.

I do, I really love war

movies.

Pete Schwaba

I think it's the explosion and the dismemberment I like.

Well.

I would say the dismemberment is not a high point.

That whole band of brothers and that was

Pete Schwaba

some of them are great movies.

There's no question about that.

I'm not but some of them like this was intense.

Yeah, and they were like these guys in this unit were like kind of concussed and some of them were really injured.

It was so hard to watch and it may but you know what you left the theater saying

If you want to support troops, don't send them where they don't have to be or only send them if they really have to.

You know what I mean?

I think that's what the director was trying to say too.

What kind of movie?

Big Marvel film?

Franchise film?

Mission Impossible 8 opens this

week?

No, I boycotted Tom Cruise ever since the couch incident.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, you need to come back around, Kim.

No, I refuse.

Pete Schwaba

Conrad.

have removed.

Put a man on her.

Can

we

just

talk

Pete Schwaba

about

how he's sold his soul to the devil somehow to look the way he looks at his age?

Like it's just

ridiculous.

He is a freak.

There's

Pete Schwaba

something wrong.

He's 82.

He's 82.

Well, look, the guy has all these movie stars.

They have access to the best health stuff.

True.

The guy's got his quirks.

I don't disagree with you, but I've said this before.

I think earlier in the week, I loved him in risky business and all the right moves.

And he did taps.

Then he went into the Scientology and danced on Oprah's couch.

But now he is one week back over.

He does not make a bad movie.

He is a perfectionist.

And we played, we had a clip of him.

It was a joke he played and a friend of his, he's a pilot and he took this flight.

And there was another guy in the front seat and a friend of his in the back seat and a friend back in the back seat would not shut up.

So Tom Cruise took the flight up really high, really fast, forcing the friend to pass out.

But the best thing is him telling the story.

I think it was David Letterman or something.

He couldn't even catch his breath.

Like it was so diabolical.

He's laughing because his friend couldn't.

And he's like, he wasn't in any danger.

He kept insist.

I just think he seems like a interesting guy.

He's an interest.

Pete Schwaba

Makes good

sense.

That's fair.

That's safe.

Pete Schwaba

All right.

So, um, have you ever cried during a movie?

Paul, let's start with you.

Oh,

absolutely.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

Do you know offhand what it was?

Oh, there's been multiple.

Okay.

Any, any good, like, you know, get on your desk movie.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

At the end to save the professor

Pete Schwaba

or.

Oh, that's a great one.

Hope you know what I'm referring to.

Absolutely.

Braveheart,

Pete Schwaba

okay.

We were just like dumbfounded.

We couldn't believe what we had just watched.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah,

that's a great answer, Chris.

I can tell you the movie hands down that I cried the most.

I know where you're going with this.

Like literally the entire movie was The Shack.

The entire movie.

The Shack.

Oh my gosh, it's phenomenal.

I don't

Pete Schwaba

know that

movie.

The Shack.

It's like a spiritual religious type.

experience that this man has.

And it is pretty powerful.

Yeah.

Well, and God is a

woman.

God is a woman.

Oh, and you meet the Holy Spirit and they're all a different ethnicity.

Pete Schwaba

Oh,

that's why it was so cool.

Pete Schwaba

So

cool.

It's it's it's really, really good.

Pete Schwaba

Do you think it's weird when people still say he with God?

Because I'm like, we don't know what

who knows.

You know, I don't

Pete Schwaba

know.

Not to make this weird,

Kim.

Oh my gosh, yes, I've definitely cried at lots of movies.

I'm trying to think the last one.

You

Pete Schwaba

know,

anything where there's, anything where there's an old person who, you know, like, overcomes anything.

The old people get me, oh, the dog movies, the art of racing in the rain.

That movie, I

Pete Schwaba

cry.

All right, we're going to do more.

We're going to get the popcorn pick of the week when we come back.

We're going to dry our eyes and we'll come back and we'll get each of their popcorn pick.

And then they are going to sing, folks.

You don't want to miss that.

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

Welcome

Pete Schwaba

back to Night Lights with Pete Schwabba.

I am Pete Schwabba.

The kid Conrad Krieger is riding shotgun as usual.

Brian from Milwaukee.

Said not the lube again, I roll.

Oh, Kristen Lyrely has left a lasting legacy on the show.

Hey, this is fun, folks.

On stage for Cancer is here.

I was referring to you guys as the Doctors in Recital, which you are for part of the year.

We are for part of the year.

Pete Schwaba

But we're going to talk about this great event after we get your popcorn pick of the week.

So Conrad, if we could have a drum roll, that would be outstanding.

Kim chef chick your popcorn pick of the week.

Well, I am a little bit of nostalgic with Forrest Gump.

Oh, it was my first date with my husband

Pete Schwaba

I

still enjoy watching it.

Okay, and I've been to several of the places where it was filmed.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, do you still enjoy your husband?

Whenever we have a fight we just put in Forrest Gump.

That's a great one.

What about you Chris?

The American president

Pete Schwaba

Oh, nice.

Look at this.

Not a typical

Pete Schwaba

tear-jerker, though.

I mean, there's some emotional stuff there.

There's some

emotional stuff.

Honestly, I don't know why.

I just said, did you want to be president?

Is that why?

I'd be so good.

Pete Schwaba

Why not a middle school teacher?

I'm fine with that.

What about you,

Paul?

Well, sticking with the tear-jerker theme from Before the Break, a movie that I loved was I Am Sam.

Great music, wonderful acting.

I mean, it's a sad story, but it's definitely worth a watch.

Pete Schwaba

None of these have been picked yet as the popcorn pick of the week, so I love all of those answers, you guys.

Thank you

for...

Pete Schwaba

Well, definitely that, but

unique.

Yes.

I heard unique.

Pete Schwaba

That is unique.

All right.

On stage for cancer is this outstanding event you guys have.

It's coming up July 31st.

So it's a ways off, but people can start getting prepared, getting their tickets, that kind

of stuff.

Yeah.

So right now you can get a table, a reserve table of eight.

So it's at Riverside Ballroom.

We have, um, we're going to have dinner and then we will entertain with a very amazing show that Chris is putting together.

and it is essentially what a lot of people are doing other than our sponsors are reserving a table in memory or in honor of a cancer thriver so for example I lost my mom to cancer in the last year so we are having a table that will be in honor of her and so

Kathryn Lake

some of our

family will be at it so that's what we're we're encouraging people to do we're also gonna hopefully sell tickets and

hopefully have live stream as well.

We will have live stream

Pete Schwaba

as well.

So even

if we sell out the event, cause you know, you can only fit so many people in, we'll have live stream tickets too.

Pete Schwaba

So are you going to do another backstage thing like you did for Doctors and Results?

That was so fun.

Actually

we can because the night you're, uh, you're, are you Wednesday night?

Pete Schwaba

Monday through Friday.

Yeah.

So

Wednesday night, the night before we'll have rehearsal.

Awesome.

Totally in for that.

Pete Schwaba

Yes, that'd be awesome.

We have to do that.

That would be really fun.

Yeah, that is fun.

It's called a serenades for supper.

Yeah.

So you get food, you get drink, you get all that kind of stuff.

Yes.

I assume with a nice ticket package.

Yep.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

We'll have an auction.

We'll have a silent auction.

We'll have a live auction.

We'll also have, in our live auction, we'll be auctioning off art, live art.

that is being painted during our numbers.

And then at intermission, we'll actually live auction off the art that Trisha Spice will be doing.

We have a wine and liquor poll.

We've got...

Pete Schwaba

What is that exactly?

A wine and liquor poll?

Oh, sounds obscene.

Where's

Jackie?

Jackie, where are you?

You're in charge

of that.

Basically, pay some money, you get some corks, and then they draw your number, and then you take the wine or the... You get to pick a bottle.

Pete Schwaba

And it

could be a $100 bottle, or it could be a $10 bottle.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, what a jib.

If you get the $10 bottle... They're all gonna be

very, very valuable, Pete.

I'm sure.

And probably come with

Pete Schwaba

milkshakes.

I didn't mean to denigrate.

Okay, you're

right.

Tape to every bottle.

Pete Schwaba

Individual tickets, $62.50, dinner drinks, silent auction, live auction, singing, dancing, and so much more.

What will you guys be doing?

Will you be performing there?

We are.

Kim is leading Dolly Parton's nine to five.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, love it.

Paul's going to be singing James Taylor's How Sweet It Is.

And Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett.

Pete Schwaba

Great tune.

Yep.

I'm

Pete Schwaba

excited.

I heard of you

first.

Pete Schwaba

You've got a lot of time to practice, don't fall.

I

sent an email

out if you didn't read it.

Pete Schwaba

And we do

have the Power Tool horns with us,

Pete Schwaba

and they are

incredibly talented.

We've got all sorts of wonderful local musicians donating their time and talent as well.

Pete Schwaba

So much fun.

Doors open at five, dinner at six, performances to follow.

So people are going to be dancing to those songs?

Or you have a separate DJ?

Or how does that work?

Yes.

So some of the numbers, there will be people in the show dancing.

And then there is one number where everyone is invited to dance along.

Oh, fun.

Pete Schwaba

Do you guys need me to dance?

If you need me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

I'm not joking.

I'm a phenomenal dancer.

I'm

serious.

Well, are you going to do your show that night?

Probably as you come after your show.

Pete Schwaba

What do you think you

could do your show live?

Yeah, we could we could

we could take the show on the road We

Pete Schwaba

could do that.

I like it.

My nickname was growing up golden feet.

That's the kind of dancer I am

Okay, I need to explore this

Pete Schwaba

Kim is looking like he might be serious, but there's no way he is

All right,

Pete Schwaba

how should we do this because I I want you guys

to do a couple tunes.

Can we have them play us to the break con?

Yeah.

And then we'll have more time.

Yeah, we have about a

minute.

Pete Schwaba

Is there something you want to play just to get us to the news or intermission coming up here, folks?

On stage for Cancer, Kim, Chef Chick, Paul, and Chris Piat are in the studio here.

They're going to sing something to take us to the break, and we'll have a little more time after, and they can sing something else too, right?

Oh, yeah.

Sounds

Pete Schwaba

good.

All right, whatever you

want.
