Pete Schwabba

We are kicking off act two here of Night Light on a Monday from beautiful downtown Green Bay.

Great to have you with me tonight on this gorgeous, almost summer night.

For those of you who missed hour one, our question of the night is what is your favorite kind of iced cream?

Yeah, there's all kinds of great ice cream ice cream, especially here

in Wisconsin.

So let us know.

You can text us on the app or the stream or old-fashioned at 855-752-4842.

So let us know and we talked to my pal Lance Barber who just finished a great run on the show Young Sheldon.

Lance is a great guy.

It was good to catch up and we've got some great text already.

We talked about the fact that Michael J. Fox has raised two billion bucks for Parkinson's.

A disease he suffered from for over 30 years, which I think is just incredible.

And also, Conrad has dressed like a coach tonight.

You should be holding a clipboard with a headset.

Well, you got a headset.

I just need the piece.

The mic attached to it.

You should be sending in plays to Jordan Love, and I know that would be.

Conrad

I think

Pete Schwabba

we go on

Conrad

16 on 17

Pete Schwabba

At least you don't overestimate yourself So let us know what your favorite kind of ice cream is you Conrad you told me that you saw the movie surfer and that has been on my radar for a long time But then I kind of forgot about it.

I know you can stream it now What did you think of this film?

Conrad

It is a total trip

Pete Schwabba

It goes interpreted

Conrad

many different ways like

It's not that long, but it feels like it goes on for like three hours

Pete Schwabba

The

Conrad

story of it it just it takes time to develop a little bit.

Pete Schwabba

Yeah,

Conrad

and once it gets to it.

It's it's pretty badass, but like It feels like you're just on a trip during the whole thing, you know Well, that's kind of good though, right?

Yeah, I think the story is something that hasn't it's new It's something that hasn't really been done before I feel like yeah

And it just takes so many different turns.

OK.

Nick Cage, I think he did a good job in it.

Am I going to like it?

I think you're going to have mixed feelings about it.

All right, that's fair.

And then it's just the story is he's a surfer that was born in Australia.

His dad was a surfer that was raised on this beach.

He passed away and then they moved to America.

Yeah.

Nick Cage kept surfing.

He toured all around America, do surfing stuff.

Okay, and with his family now he moved back to Australia and wants to buy his childhood home All right, but the beach that's on it is now run by the locals and The local

Pete Schwabba

or territorial yes surfers I didn't know this until I moved to California surfers are very territorial

Conrad

and

Pete Schwabba

I

Conrad

didn't know that either until I mean I don't know if it was true or not, but He goes down to the beach with his son to just catch you know catch some waves

and this guy gets really mad, he says, locals only.

If you even try to go on that, on the water, I'm gonna break your skull and your sons.

So they leave, obviously.

And he just can't, he's gonna buy the house.

He's like, I wanna surf on this.

So he just keeps trying to find a way to surf down there and he just doesn't stop.

Eventually, it just gets to a point.

I'm not gonna say too much more because the trip part of it is like the middle of it.

Pete Schwabba

What goes on in the middle is crazy.

I might watch it tonight.

That's been on my radar for a while.

I didn't know, like I said, how territorial surfers were.

I always thought they were like, oh, chill, whatever.

A fellow preschool dad who was from South America loved surfing.

And he would drop his kid off at preschool with my son.

And then he would drive to Malibu and surf until he had to pick up his son.

And he said a guy,

paddled out on his surfboard, went right next to him and out of nowhere, just clocked him right in the face.

And then kept paddling on.

And my friend was like, he didn't know what to do, like he's not gonna fight the guy in 10 feet of water or whatever, and the guy had all his friends there, but yeah, there are a lot of...

kind of crazy, so I am curious to see the film though.

Mike Destel says, he texted in the question for Lance, which I thought was awesome.

Mike says, Lormans chocolate maltcone.

All right, Lormans is a department store in Marinette.

It was this kind of department store that was a destination for like people in the UP and people from an hour away.

It was like the, not JC Penney, but let's say like the Marshall Fields of Marinette.

It was a great store.

They had a soda fountain, they had jeans, you could get everything, stereos.

So I'm assuming Mike means, I think most of it was about to close when I moved there.

I had nothing to do with that though.

But Mike says, Lorman's chocolate malt cone.

Love it Mike, thank you.

Dave also from Marinette says, chocolate peanut butter at the Memorial Union.

I should clarify Dave lives in Madison now, but he is originally from Marinette.

Chocolate peanut butter at the Memorial Union.

I think that's chocolate shop ice cream Dave, if I'm not mistaken.

But I can't remember.

Scratch.

Love that name.

Scratch, listening on the stream says, I'm a vanilla fan.

As of late, I'm groovin' on either Stone Ridge Creameries Double Vanilla.

It's so good.

All right.

Conrad

You know, I don't know why this made me think of this, but so is the vanilla iced?

Pete Schwabba

Vanilla iced.

Iced, baby.

I thought you were gonna say, because his name was Scratch.

I don't know what made me think of this, but I have a horrible rash that just formed over the break.

Thank you, Scratch.

Great name.

Don't be a stranger.

Love it.

We got to get some texts here too.

God, we're going back to our number.

We're a little bit behind here.

Steve, Conrad's dad says, Kelly's country creamery.

Yes.

Located on the family farm highway B between Eden and Fondlec.

Steve, your whole family seems to be a fan.

That was Conrad's favorite too.

He says, best ice cream in the world.

I don't know how your dad knows that.

Seems pretty cocky Conrad, but I'll take his word for it.

Gordy from Oregon, Wisconsin says, enjoy your banter.

But in my 72 years, I've never,

I have never seen iced cream on any sign or carton.

Conrad

There we go.

Pete Schwabba

Doesn't mean it's not right, Gordy.

Nice try, buddy.

I'm the grammar police right here tonight.

Oh, and then who is this?

Who's sending this picture of Biscoff?

Oh, that's so good.

Conrad

That creamy cookie butter.

Pete Schwabba

Yeah.

That's Ronnie from Horikin.

He says, Pete, you need this.

I love that.

Conrad

You know, I've never tried that, but that looks so good.

I am

Pete Schwabba

so trying that now.

How far back?

Oh, Conrad's mom checks in.

I can't leave Paula off.

She says, she's in the 9-2-0, but she's really not in the 9-2-0.

She says, Gil, am I saying the right counter?

Gilles and Fondilac, yes.

Okay, Gilles and Fondilac.

Their Sundays are the best.

Conrad

They're fantastic.

Gotta try one.

They make really good grasshoppers.

Pete Schwabba

Yeah.

Oh, I love a grasshopper.

Conrad

Or Brandy Alexander.

With booze?

They put booze

Pete Schwabba

in?

No, no, no, no.

Okay.

Just like a virgin.

A

Conrad

mint grasshopper, you know.

When I was younger, loved those things.

Yeah, yeah, totally.

Pete Schwabba

Jim from Appleton says Culver's frozen custard.

Or doesn't that count?

It absolutely counts, Jim.

And not just because we like you.

It's a great, it's a fine answer and a wonderful text.

Robert from La Crosse says, when did iced cream become ice cream?

Here's another one.

Thank you, Robert.

He says historians estimate that this recipe evolved into ice cream sometime in the 16th century.

I'm an old soul, what can I say?

England seems to have discovered ice cream at the same time or perhaps even earlier than the Italians, cream ice.

as it was called, appeared regularly at the table of Charles during the 17th century.

I have to Google every word in that text.

See, it's not cream iced.

Well, it should be.

No, but in that case, it would be cream ice or creamy ice.

Maybe technically it would be better.

Thank you, Robert, from La Crosse.

Something's going on outside.

Have you noticed that?

When I was outside during the break,

There were like 30 people on segway.

It's like there's a Paul Blart convention in town.

They were all crossing the street.

I love that.

Take the rest of the night off counter.

Lee from DePierre, he's in the 920.

He says, favorite, mint chocolate chip.

That's his favorite flavor.

Side note, where does custard fit in?

It's acceptable, right?

Yogurt.

I mean, we're not sticklers here.

We are for the grammar part, but for the ice cream part,

Civic Media Announcer

it

Pete Schwabba

doesn't matter.

Civic Media Announcer

He

Pete Schwabba

says, never heard of it until I moved to Wisconsin.

I didn't either, Lee.

I didn't know what custard was either.

I only knew it was part of a donut, and I never liked it in that form, but I can certainly eat a cold.

Good stuff.

Sherry from Horakon says, Dairy Queen, old school, and that's iced milk.

Conrad

You know, I can still get down with a Dairy Queen blizzard.

Yeah, I can too.

Pete Schwabba

Or peanut

Conrad

buster

Pete Schwabba

parpe.

Parpe.

A peanut buster parfait.

Bridget in the 818 says, hot fudge Sunday with pecans from Leon's in Oshkosh.

Yes.

She says, favorite for decades with a big heart sign.

My son was at Leon's in Oshkosh last week and sent us a picture of a juice burger because we love their juice burgers, which is basically Sloppy Joe's.

Sloppy Joe, Luke Mathers says, Civic Media's own, Luke Mathers, by the way.

Oh, Tillamahook is good.

I forgot about Tillamahook.

Coffee Almond Fudge is probably my favorite store-bought type.

Luke, they make like a chocolate.

It's not like dirt.

I can't remember what it's called, but they have all this chocolate stuff in there.

It is so rich.

I'm totally with you.

I forgot about Tillamahook.

He says the cops flavor that they used to have called a Sprecker Roopier Float is my favorite ice cream flavor of all time.

Oh, I never tried that.

I love Sprecker though.

Love the Rupir.

Thank you, Luke.

Monica from Mount Horribb says, instead of a bromance, you have a bro lance.

Can we play his second promo?

I don't have it.

Oh, you know, you gotta edit it or something.

I can say that, right?

He said schwa balls.

You're listening to Nightlight with Pete

Show Announcer

Schwab.

Hey, this is Lance Barber, and you're listening to Nightlight with Pete Schwab

Pete Schwabba

balls.

It's just the weirdest thing ever.

It's like the first time I met him on the set that he called me balls.

And it's a thing ever since.

Thank you, Lance.

Thank you, Monica.

Yes, that's great.

We have a brolance.

I love that.

Chris Sheridan from Jamesville says, hands down Rocky Road.

Yes, great stuff.

Thank you, Chris.

Brian from Green Bay says, how old is Mike getting it?

Brian from Green Bay says, how old is Mike getting it from Mormons?

It's not that old, Brian.

Come on.

Don't be a hater.

Brian says, ice cream.

No, I know.

I knew what you said.

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

Coming up next, after a very short break, we're going to do a nightlight quiz with our pal, Heather Heil.

She is coming into the studio.

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

But for tonight, she's here in the studio, probably for a good 30 minutes.

So don't go anywhere.

We're coming right back.

Pete Schwabba

This is Nightlight with Pete Schwabba and you are listening to the Civic Media Radio Network.

It's great to have you here on this Tuesday.

Remember what I was just saying about the mental sharpening?

Yeah, it's Monday and we've got our question of the night folks is what is your favorite brand of ice cream?

So all kinds of fun stuff going on here.

And if that weren't enough, if talking about ice cream wasn't joyful enough, that was something that our senses can taste.

Now we have a presence in the studio that we can feel like ice cream tastes.

Boy, that's a good, that's a good.

That was good.

Thank you.

Her presence is like ice cream tastes.

We got to work.

We got to work on that.

Yeah.

Not

Heather Heil

cold, not freezing.

Just a nice kind person that you like.

Everybody likes ice cream.

Pete Schwabba

She's the business development director at the Green Bay Children's Museum and she knows everything about Green Bay and she is here at nightlight as she so often is.

It's great to have you.

Heather Heil

Thanks.

Good to be back.

It's been a while and we were just, you know, it has.

And every time I come in here, I bring

Pete Schwabba

you food.

Heather Heil

And then you're fasting.

And then I have to ask the questions of like, what is this?

Yeah.

So Conrad got right after it.

That's actually from Dan

Pete Schwabba

because you were talking about this earlier.

Is that a good, okay.

He brought this because we were talking about this.

Oops, upside down.

Biscoff.

Heather Heil

Biscoff.

Pete Schwabba

And it is delicious.

There's

Heather Heil

cookies.

You can get them on Delta Airlines.

Pete Schwabba

You can get

Heather Heil

them at like fancy hotels.

So you don't always want the cookie right away.

So we saved them and we, he wanted to share them with you, but you're not able to eat that because you're fasting, but

Pete Schwabba

how many

Heather Heil

do you talk to me about the fasting?

How often are you fasting?

Pete Schwabba

every week for some amount of time.

Sometimes it's hard, you know, you travel or you just, I'm having a bad day and I want a mouse and food.

But I try to do like it just because of the health benefits.

I mean, I'd like to lose a few pounds, obviously, but the health benefits are very good for fasting.

Heather Heil

Okay, so what are the health benefits?

Pete Schwabba

Well, it lowers your level.

Listen, folks,

Those of you listening, I am not a doctor contrary to popular opinion.

So don't listen to me, do your own research, but you- This works for you.

What does that for you?

Okay.

Yeah, okay.

So it lowers your blood pressure and your cholesterol supposedly.

It gives your digestive system a break.

I don't think we're supposed to shovel food in throughout the course of the day too much.

You sleep better, your mental clarity.

despite what you've experienced

Heather Heil

since you've been here.

See, I feel like if I'm fasting,

Pete Schwabba

I would be like, oh my God, I'm so hungry, my belly hurts, and all I would like

Heather Heil

food, food, like it would be reversed for me.

And it's not?

Pete Schwabba

It's not, it's the exact opposite.

And when you work through, and based on the research I've done, when your stomach is grumbly, that's when you're eating into your fat reserves.

Oh.

So to me, I just have a little water and I take a walk and it passes, and it's not that difficult, really.

Heather Heil

But I would, yeah.

Also, I believe with fasting for people who might be doing this, if you have a stick of gum, your fast is over.

It's any caloric intake, correct?

Yeah,

Pete Schwabba

there's some different schools of thought on that.

I've heard coffee and tea are okay.

But you're right, if you eat gum or a piece of candy, you're a vitamin.

If you have a gummy vitamin that has five calories, technically.

Yeah, so can you

Heather Heil

take your vitamins when you're fasting?

Pete Schwabba

I don't, I skip them for a day.

Well, I mean if the vitamins gonna tide me over that's Like no vitamins I need my college.

Come on.

We have a lady of a certain age Conrad is saying we have a call.

Yes, who do Ali from the Northwoods.

Oh Ali.

How are you?

Well, oh Ali, you know what?

I've had about enough of your crap Ali Yeah, please call back and say hello to Heather Hile who is here in the studio Let's let's get some of this stuff out of the way

before we get to the quiz and all kinds of other stuff.

I really wanna know, you have such a great museum.

You do a great job, you love your work, and you're very good at it.

What is coming up at the Green Bay Children's

Heather Heil

Museum?

Yeah, so we, actually this Wednesday, we have our Taste of Summer event.

So four times a year, we offer a free food event that we offer nutritious food, and we bring in other partners, not cookies.

I'm not bringing in cookies to

Commercial Voice

the

Heather Heil

event.

I'm positive.

And we invite the Green Bay Police Department, so Craigers comes in and helps to serve food.

I know, I just had to slip that in there because- I want Craig to know, I

Pete Schwabba

do not say Craigers.

Yes, he does.

No.

I do not, and certainly not in the air.

I don't need that guy on my, I don't need that guy bird-dogging me all over.

He's so awesome.

So

Heather Heil

like Officer Craig and some other of the amazing men and women from the Green Bay Police Department come in and helps our food so you can engage with them

Civic Media Announcer

in a

Heather Heil

really positive manner, and it's absolutely free.

So we also have local musician, child musician, Randy Peterson, who's coming in for that, and that's this Wednesday from three to seven.

Oh, very

Pete Schwabba

cool.

Absolutely

Heather Heil

free.

We have some bubble play, some watch.

you're going to want to bring an extra change of clothes for your kids because they're going to get

Pete Schwabba

wet.

They're

Heather Heil

going to get wet.

So they're sprinklers and pools and all sorts of fun stuff as well as face painting and you can paint some chairs and again, free.

And then also coming up, we have Dairy Days at the Museum for June Dairy Month on

Pete Schwabba

Heather Heil

So those are the really fun things that we have.

And of course, I mean, it's fun every day.

at the

Pete Schwabba

museum or a museum.

There's a ton of stuff to do there.

What do you do if the police are there serving food and a guy going through the food line is doing one of these?

Like he doesn't want to be

Heather Heil

seen.

Shockingly, I have had that happen,

Pete Schwabba

but it

Heather Heil

has not been at the museum.

It has been at a different event

Pete Schwabba

where I've had

Heather Heil

someone who might have been indulging in recreational behaviors coming to

Civic Media Announcer

a

Heather Heil

very heavily policed, it might bark in blue event.

And I'm like, what are you doing?

These are drug sniffing dogs.

I can't fix you.

Pete Schwabba

You know, I totally stole what I just did because I was part of a, we were filming something in Las Vegas once and the director of photography had the camera set up and he was pointed just to get an establishing shot and people were walking back and forth.

One guy is approaching the camera and at the last second he sees the camera and goes like this.

Oh no.

And I was like, what did that guy

Heather Heil

do?

I know, something he did not want

Pete Schwabba

to be seen.

I know.

You

Heather Heil

know what, the law is the law and they're gonna do

Pete Schwabba

what they

Heather Heil

have to do.

So just be a good human.

Pete Schwabba

And if you do get arrested by Craig, do not call him.

Heather Heil

Craigerson, officer Craigerson.

Pete Schwabba

All right, Heather Heil is here.

You're going to tell us about a wedding you went to.

I did this again.

I think this is kind of cool.

I know.

There was a different thing to happen.

It's wedding season.

And we're going to give Heather a quiz.

And these are always fun.

I'm really

Heather Heil

nervous about this, my friends.

You're going to do fine.

Pete Schwabba

We are coming right back after the news on the Civic Media Radio Network.

Hi, I'm Pete Schwab, and this is Night Lights.

But Sydney, correct me.

He said it's actually a little city, the little city of Chicago.

Oh no, I'm sorry.

Cause there's an Oregon, Illinois, and he has an Illinois area code.

I don't know.

But he says the little city of Chicago Heights, Illinois has an ice cream shop.

Zarlangos, interesting.

He says with the best chocolate soft serve on the planet and basically nothing else worth a visit safety safety not guaranteed You have a chance at a serious injury going in to get soft serve Wow, okay Chris all right Heather I need you to weigh in on this Chris Sheridan from Jamesville.

Pete Schwabba

Do not denigrate the guests Conrad.

No better than that.

Don't

Heather Heil

Look at you

Conrad

in

Heather Heil

your good hat.

Doesn't

Pete Schwabba

Heather Heil

look like

Pete Schwabba

Heather Heil

patterns.

He does.

I like the look today.

Conrad

I just need to clipboard and I'm almost out.

Heather Heil

The whistle.

Conrad

Exactly.

Pete Schwabba

All right.

Heather Hiles here.

She's in studio.

You just went to a wedding, and I think this is interesting.

I have not talked about weddings on this show since I've been doing this show.

Oh, really?

And there's always funny stories associated with weddings.

When you come from one, there's tropes, I guess, or stereotypes.

Tell us what this wedding you went to was like, and I like why you

how you thought it was different.

That was kind of cool.

Heather Heil

I loved this wedding.

So we were invited to a wedding and it was in Upper Michigan, first and foremost.

And

Pete Schwabba

I have

Heather Heil

not been to Michigan Pete ever.

It is beautiful

Commercial Voice

there.

Heather Heil

Oh my stars.

It is so gorgeous.

And it was at a ski resort, Bohemian ski resort.

I apologize.

I don't know the name of it offhand.

And the couple that was getting married was just so sincere and so genuine and really just did the wedding.

their way.

So it was outdoors and they did their own vows.

Very sweet and like I said, genuine.

Of course, there was music

Pete Schwabba

and band or DJ.

Heather Heil

They had a band and it was the couple actually took

and went to different breweries and listens to different bands, defines

Commercial Voice

they

Heather Heil

really wanted like that brewery feel

Commercial Voice

band.

And

Heather Heil

they were really fantastic.

So we had our dinner, they had a caterer come in and it was really good.

But for dessert, which we've talked about, and again, you're fasting, I apologize, I'm like talking

Civic Media Announcer

about food.

Heather Heil

I love a good piece of wedding cake.

Civic Media Announcer

They did not

Heather Heil

do wedding cake at this event.

They brought out

Uncle Mike's Kringle.

Are you kidding me?

Uncle Mike's from Swamigal?

Uncle Mike's?

Up in the UP?

Kringle.

They had brought up for their dessert.

Wow.

So good.

Pete Schwabba

Like they are winning.

The rich like caramel nuts.

They

Heather Heil

had a sea salt caramel and a raspberry.

Pete Schwabba

Was it huge or did they just put out?

They just

Heather Heil

bought normal ones and just kept like bringing them out.

So they bought them by Kringle and

Pete Schwabba

it was... I

Heather Heil

like that.

So delightful and people were going crazy and they win the dessert for that.

I love that.

Pete Schwabba

I love that too.

That's outstanding.

So and was it the kind of thing you stayed overnight for?

Because it's so far away.

What part of the UP was it?

Heather Heil

We did.

So it's Mohawk, Michigan.

So we ended up staying in Eagle Harbor.

And there's also an Eagle River.

So we took

Pete Schwabba

our time

Heather Heil

on Sunday driving back and exploring some of those towns, which I haven't been to.

So a couple of the falls.

And honestly, it was like a five hour drive, I think.

Oh, that's far.

It is.

But if you think about like, I'm getting old.

Sunday.

Drivers like you know people that drive on a Sunday.

It was a perfect drive even if you go to Eagle River, Wisconsin It's a really cute community.

Commercial Voice

They

Heather Heil

have a ton of ice cream places up

Commercial Voice

there.

Yes, they

Heather Heil

do where I was like, okay I just want a burger, but that's all ice cream

Pete Schwabba

everywhere You know what I spent a lot of time up in three lakes area drive up from Chicago and

God, after a day of swimming, getting a burger at one of those local burger joints or ice cream.

But you're talking Eagle Harbor.

That Eagle River is probably two and a half from here, maybe?

Heather Heil

Correct.

Pete Schwabba

So we

Heather Heil

drove back through that way to

Pete Schwabba

come back

Heather Heil

home and stopped.

And that's kind of, we don't just go from point A to point B ever.

Commercial Voice

We

Heather Heil

take the scenic route and we're like, oh, hey, there's a giant something we want to take a photo of.

And as you know, the falls around Copper City.

I believe it's called.

They're right there on the road.

Also when you're driving in, there's a set of waterfalls.

Civic Media Announcer

And

Heather Heil

they're gorgeous and beautiful.

Pete Schwabba

It makes those two lane highways more tolerable.

Absolutely.

Heather Heil

Take your time, enjoy what's going on.

Pete Schwabba

Would it kill you to drive through Marinette and see your old pal Petey or stop off at one of our fine establishments?

Heather Heil

I'm gonna have to do that.

Pete Schwabba

I really am.

There's some nice places to stop there.

We got a harbor, we got some restaurants.

We got a logging museum.

You do?

Heather Heil

I've never been to a logging

Pete Schwabba

museum.

Can you,

Heather Heil

like,

Pete Schwabba

Fred

Heather Heil

Flintstone on a log?

Did they give you that opportunity?

Pete Schwabba

They have had those contests before, and I'm amazed that people could do that.

I know, I don't think I could do it,

Heather Heil

but I would try.

Pete Schwabba

I've fallen, hit my head on the log and never be seen

Heather Heil

again.

Pete Schwabba

I think you

Heather Heil

probably could hold on to something while you're doing it.

Pete Schwabba

So we have a quiz for you, which I think will be fun to do.

And I think this is a little nuts, but I think we're going to pull it off.

And Conrad, there were two sheets in here.

Can I have

Heather Heil

like a phone or friend?

Like, is someone going to help me with this one?

Because it's history.

Pete Schwabba

I'll tell you what.

We'll do this.

If people listening want to text in the answer to help Heather, that's totally fine.

I think I'm probably going to do OK.

We've got it broken down into different categories.

We've got Appleton questions, Oshkosh questions.

Oh, boy.

And Green Bay.

And Green Bay.

Pittsburgh questions, Conrad, that's too much.

No, we'll do that.

Mr. Rogers.

Who is Mr. Rogers?

All right, that's true.

So we'll do, are all these documents are from here?

Conrad

One of them has the answers on it, one of them doesn't, so Heather can

Pete Schwabba

go along with it.

Check

Heather Heil

them.

Pete Schwabba

Oh, I see what you're doing.

OK, so I was going to say, we should have started this a week ago, Tuesday, with all this.

Heather Heil

I know.

I'm like, there's a lot of papers.

Pete Schwabba

So here's OK.

You can do this.

Oh, my

Conrad

Pete Schwabba

Welcome back to nightlight ladies and gentlemen.

We are in the home stretch here We've got a great show tomorrow night as well Matt Miller Milwaukee film critic will be here and my pal Frank Anderson who founded Wisconsinology and is a writer director and Okay, we've got to get to some text because I don't know what happened here I kind of lost track of time and I feel bad about that.

So let's get a

Heather Heil

party in here Yeah, we're

Pete Schwabba

talking a party.

Heather Heil

What are what are they saying?

Pete Schwabba

So all right?

We got to get to... Oh, I wrote down this email.

All right.

Steady Eddie from the 608 says, Pete Conrad with a K is correct.

It's ice cream dude.

Get over yourself, Mr. Big Ball.

Can I read that on the

Conrad

radio?

He's

Pete Schwabba

talking about

Conrad

tennis balls.

Pete Schwabba

Balls are just balls.

We don't know what he means.

There is no... That escalated so quick.

There is no...

Contraversy, call it ice cream or I will scream.

Okay, steady Eddie.

He says, when I get the Blas, I will often indulge in an ice cream called Hagindaz.

It's like a visit from Santa Claus ice cream, a trillion Haras for the ice cream named Hagindaz.

Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.

Say it with me a trillion times.

Civic Media Announcer

No, I won't

Pete Schwabba

steady Eddie.

He says, Conrad, we'll keep count.

I'll wait.

Go Hagindaz, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.

I will also sometimes make an ice cream stop at the glorious and enchanting store called the chocolate shop.

Great stuff.

Shop spelled S-H-O-P-P-E.

Now that's something that should get your undies in a bunch.

Sometimes I'll have ice cream for lunch.

Steady Eddie, we were just talking about Dr. Seuss.

We were.

Heather Heil

It sounded very Dr. Seuss-y.

Pete Schwabba

He says P.S.

Young Sheldon was great.

Agreed Steady Eddie.

That's a great

Heather Heil

text.

Took some thoughts,

Pete Schwabba

Eddie.

Eddie, I

Heather Heil

like that.

Pete Schwabba

He's the king.

You

Heather Heil

contribute.

Pete Schwabba

Absolutely.

Tony, the trucker says, Pete, Sassy, Cow, Creamery and Sun Prairie, I pick up trailers of milk and while waiting, they offer me either a cone or dish.

Ever since ice cream they make is, every ice cream they make is outstanding.

My favorite is raspberry swirl.

Love it.

Anna from Madison's High, says, Hi, Pete and Conrad.

My favorite ice cream is from Babcock Dairy on UW campus.

I don't know where that is.

Is that the UN?

UW campus.

You're talking about that maybe?

Yeah, I don't know.

Brian from Green Bay says, I was hoping ice cream was the word since I missed it.

Sorry, Brian.

Heather Heil

It's the magic word.

Pete Schwabba

Yeah.

And then Lee from Dupir says, random 1961, Dairy Queen had the most franchises in the fast food category.

That's true.

Is that true?

Yeah.

You can vouch.

Heather Heil

I can vouch for that.

My red, actually I saw that on social media.

I think it was Dairy Queen and I don't remember the other ones, but I was not Burger King.

Burger King was like number five.

But if McDonald's wasn't in there, it was just all, yeah, before that.

Pete Schwabba

That's fantastic.

That's a cliff cliff fact right there.

Yeah, thank you, Lee.

Tom from New Berlin says, love history.

Want to their freezer technology in the 1600s?

There has to be.

Thank you, Tom.

Appreciate that, buddy.

All right, we are caught up on techs.

Heather Hiles here.

She was taking our quiz.

You have another thing you want to talk about.

I do, I've been,

Heather Heil

cause when you talk about, I always want to have something prepared for you

Pete Schwabba

or what I'm

Heather Heil

like watching and reading.

I'm watching the TV show Hacks right now, but I just watched the documentary.

the

Pete Schwabba

Pee Wee Harman, the Paul

Heather Heil

Rubens documentary, which I think was so incredible.

Pete Schwabba

You loved it.

Heather Heil

I loved it.

Well, full disclosure, growing up, I loved that show.

My parents hated me watching

Civic Media Announcer

that

Heather Heil

show.

They didn't feel that it was educational, but in watching this, it's a two-part series in the life of Paul Rubens, he was such a...

genuine like he was one of us just trying to make it and find his voice and he was with the groundlings acting and he was some Saturday Night Live like big players

Commercial Voice

and just

Heather Heil

we forget about all of that stuff and he turned the persona the one that stuck was the

Pee Wee Herman and the Playhouse thing and he went into that but he full on and I don't want to like give anything away with the documentary but he immersed himself in that character so hard that when other things happened in his life people forgot that he was still just Paul Rubens and that was a character.

Yeah.

And I found that to be very

tragic on our part so that we're judging that way.

But also like having loved that show and how he really wanted to foster children to look at things in different ways.

So he had a talking chair and you

Civic Media Announcer

didn't

Heather Heil

see talking chairs and teaching children vocabulary through the word of the day.

And all of his different characters were really meant to do that play-based learning.

which I do now at a children's museum.

And

Pete Schwabba

you said that came full circle.

It just full circle for me of

Heather Heil

like, okay, first it was like, it was Mr. Rogers for me and learning through that.

And he did the same thing.

And then, so I just, I am not ridiculous in thinking I am in the category of Mr. Rogers and Pee Wee Herman.

However, I just think the work that they've done to help

foster children's imaginations and curiosity and let them think for themselves has just been so unparalleled.

And I just think them both.

Pete Schwabba

His show is legendary.

I mean, he found a niche and ran with it.

And I think there's times I'm sure as a serious actor, he would have been like, Oh, I hate doing this.

We're got sick of it.

But like, and I don't know, I'm just guessing and I've heard people talk about him.

And they always thought it was funny how he would be just talking like Paul Rubens.

And then Paul, you're

Heather Heil

on.

Yeah,

Pete Schwabba

and he had to do that.

I can't wait to see that documentary.

Yeah,

Heather Heil

so worth watching.

And again, even as like younger years, like the ground link, I can't think of the actor's name right now who is Steve Hartman.

Pete Schwabba

Phil Hartman.

Phil Hartman.

Thank you.

Yeah, I love Phil Hartman.

Heather Heil

Also, like with that stuff.

So yeah, just really, really cool improv stuff.

So support your improv, people.

Pete Schwabba

Absolutely.

And thank you for that review.

because that's exactly what that was and I'm going to check that out.

I can't wait for so many good things about that.

We have time for a couple more questions, Conrad, before we can do it.

I'd say

Conrad

we have time for two.

We

Heather Heil

can

Pete Schwabba

do what we

Heather Heil

want.

Pete Schwabba

Conrad, it's just, we can do it.

Look, we can stay here and do the quiz all night.

We just have to go off the air.

Heather Heil

No, we don't.

I mean, come on.

Let's just

Pete Schwabba

keep

Heather Heil

going.

Are the on-air police going to come get us?

Pete Schwabba

Yes.

Probably crackers.

Oh, I didn't say that.

Number one, this is a Green Bay category.

Heather's crushing the quiz.

Heather Hiles here, business director.

of the Green Bay Children's Museum.

What happened there?

Sorry.

Dance party.

Dance party break.

Civic Media Announcer

Guess the

Pete Schwabba

tune.

Civic Media Announcer

All right, we

Pete Schwabba

have time for one more.

What is the oldest city in Wisconsin founded in 1634?

Green Bay.

OK.

Correct.

What was originally the name of Green Bay?

Heather Heil

It was, I'm going to say, the Bay of Papers.

Conrad

Bay of Stinkers.

Bay's Elm.

Yes, it is.

Because of the green algae

Pete Schwabba

that was formed

Conrad

around the bay.

It's stunk.

The Bay of Stinking Waters.

I will not

Pete Schwabba

accept that in an adopted work town.

We don't talk about that.

Last one.

What French explorer discovered Green Bay?

Heather Heil

Gina Nicolet.

Pete Schwabba

Oh, she's too good.

I knew that one.

The next time you're here, these quizzes are going to be much harder.

Heather Heil

No, I know.

Keep them easy, so

Pete Schwabba

let me

Heather Heil

feel like I'm winning.

Pete Schwabba

Thank you to Heather Heil.

Thank you to Lance Barber from Young Sheldon.

Thank you for all your texts and calls, everybody.

We're coming back tomorrow night, and I hope you'll join me.

It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
