Time Community Theater (Hour 2)
Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach · Mon Jun 16, 2025
Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay, this is Night Light with Peach Waba.
Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.
And now, a guy who always reads between the lines until he sees a car coming, Peach Waba.
I forgot about that one.
Hey, welcome to Nightlight, everybody.
All these bumpers are true, folks.
That is me in a nutshell.
I wear my heart on my sleeve.
If I'm joking about something, it's usually true.
I have read many books on the highway.
Great to have you here.
It is finally Monday, ladies and gentlemen.
We are back at it, and it is great to be back in the air talking about the things we love in life, like movies and TV and comedy and theater and all kinds of fun stuff, some sports.
We've got a big rivalry happening this week, Conrad.
I thought I would get your thoughts on that.
We've got some Cubs Brewers happening.
Yeah, I'm excited to see if the Brewers can pull it off.
Think they can?
Yeah, I think we're only about four games back now, so maybe even less.
Here's what I am.
I'm a Cub fan, but I'm trying to be unbiased here.
And usually when I'm like that, I'm coming down against my team because that's usually the way it goes.
The Brewers were red hot lately, and the Cubs withstood it and kept the lead.
They're playing great baseball.
The Cubs are for real, and I feel like the Brewers are for real, and I feel like it's gonna come down to those two teams.
Yeah, it's looking like it.
The Cubs, I didn't expect them to be this hot this year, to be honest.
Yeah, same.
It surprised me.
It surprised me, too.
But it's a great one.
It's great when there's a good rivalry between the Bears and the Packers, the Cubs and the Brewers, to a lesser degree, the Bucks and the Bulls.
I don't think people are quite as passionate about that rivalry.
Well, the Bulls, you know, they need some.
Oh, God, I hope the Cubs wipe
the field with your Brewers this week.
If you're going to talk like that, young buck.
Yeah, no, the Bulls have been pretty bad.
But even when they were, that's just, that's not the same as.
I don't think as the bears and the packers or the cubs and the brewers.
But that's not to say it couldn't be.
But we'll see what happens.
Some fun stuff going on this week.
We've got a great show tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
Sheri Stoka is here.
She is a nutritionist and dietitian.
from Wellness MD that is just outside of the Milwaukee area.
Sherry's been on the show before and I love picking her brain about all things health and nutrition and all that kind of stuff.
So I think last time we got a couple of texts for Sherry.
So if you have nutritious questions or dietary questions, I think she had a lot of fun answering those last time.
So share those with us if you would at 635.
Conrad, you got any questions for Sherry?
Yeah, yeah.
On your mind?
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, we'll do that.
That's at 6.35.
We're going to talk a little bit about Ozempic, which she called it by the clinical name of GLP-1.
I had never heard that.
And then we'll talk about a lot of other stuff.
Sherry's a great guest, coming up in about a half an hour.
And then a new guest.
I'm always excited when we have new people on the show.
Phil Krause will be here.
Phil owns the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh.
And we talked, I think it was Friday, we gave a shout out to Phil.
He was showing the Magnificent Seven last night on Father's Day, the 2016 version.
And they do some really cool stuff at the Time Community Theater.
We'll talk to Phil about that.
I think independent movie theaters are a treasure, especially when they do other things like not just host movies, but host different events too.
And we need to do whatever we can, folks, to help these independent movie theaters because
I think the people that own them, it's a kind of a passionate thing and they're very into what they do, but they need the help and I think the support of the community.
I know nothing.
You know, Time Theater, he could be pulling in 10 million bucks a year.
I have no idea.
I'm just saying in general, I would love it if we could all come together and support independent movie theaters.
So that's our show for tonight regarding guests.
We've got a great question.
We're gonna talk a little bit about, feel free to share your father's day.
Events with us, if you had a good day, the phone lines are open.
The text line is open, 855-752-4842.
Man, I don't know where to even start, Conrad.
We got a lot to get to tonight, don't we?
Well, why don't we start with the question of the night?
I couldn't have said it better myself.
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.
Who is the best on-screen couple?
Movies or TV folks, who do you like?
I was kind of thinking about this earlier.
I'm kind of like, I don't dislike rom-coms, but I don't really...
I don't seek them out, but I will say there was a very rom-com-y element to the show in 1923, and I loved the relationship between Brandon Sklenar's character, who was a Dutton.
And I said this before on the show, Yellowstone, I got really bored with really quick, maybe sometime in season two.
But I did like both prequels.
I liked 1883 with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and then I liked the 1923.
two seasons that with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren and this Brandon Sklenauer who played a Dutton nephew.
And he gets married in season two.
And I've never really liked watching romances develop on screen.
There are some good ones.
Maybe you think Titanic with Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet or Greece with Danny Zuko and Olivia Newton-John.
Speaking of Olivia Newton-John, Paul Blart in his mall.
fellow mall employee, you got Ross and Rachel, Sam and Diane.
There's all kinds of couples that have graced the big and little screen.
So who is your favorite?
I'm gonna say 1923, I really liked that storyline.
It was fun to kind of watch this couple fall in love.
And I don't say that very often.
So I really enjoyed that.
I thought they were, Brandon Sklenar's character was kind of this strong silent type.
He's sort of the hero.
And then the woman he ended up marrying, whose fate did not turn out very well.
I think her name was Julia Schlepfer.
I don't know if I'm saying her last name right, but they were fun.
They were a fun couple to watch.
So let us know who your favorite on-screen couple is.
Big or little screen, TV or film, 855-752-4842.
8-5-5-7-5.
Civic, baby.
You can text us on the app as well.
Or if you're watching the radio on the stream, that's fine, too.
YouTube, Facebook, or ex.
Twix, ex Twitter, whatever you want to call it.
Would love to hear your thoughts, and we will read your text on the radio.
Con, you got someone?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm thinking Jamie Lannister and Cersei Lannister.
The Lannisters.
Oh, they're a functional couple.
I'm just
kidding.
That's probably the worst one.
Which one Jamie Lannister was their brother and sister?
I Thought so she took his name or what I didn't know what okay
Bad of one from Game of
Thrones.
I'm very compatible.
I don't judge.
You know what?
This is the 19 I
will I will say you probably know where I'm gonna go with this Lay it on me how I met your mother.
I knew you're gonna say that
Lily pad and marshmallow
I don't even know their nicknames.
I really don't know that show.
I gotta check it out.
It's a Lillian Marshall.
Yeah That's what they could see the marshmallow thing That's kind of stomach-turning Lily pad you like that one we pad marshmallow.
I like Lily pad better than marshmallow God if I was like a dude and somebody started calling me marshmallow I don't think I'd like that very much.
Well, he says, you know He's kind of a big
Is that Jason Segal's character?
Yeah,
uski guy.
Yeah, probably pull it off, but he's he's like seven foot
He's just a big teddy bear though.
Apparently.
Yeah, we'll soft on the inside
You know, I just like I really like their development with their because they yeah the first episode it's Jason Segal's character proposing
oh Yeah, right.
Okay,
and You know they just go through a lot of adversity through the whole show.
It's all nine seasons
It's funny because I like I love
Cheers I'm kind of in that's cheers is like my go-to show when I'm laying in bed at night and I want to laugh before I go to sleep and Sam and Diane are so volatile and contentious That's typically the kind of couple.
I like to watch what that says about me You know my wife and I are pretty emotional people.
We have our arguments, but We had an argue jar at one point
throw a dollar into a jar when you argue.
Okay.
By the end of the year, had enough to vacation in Hawaii for three weeks.
No, but we have, we, you know, I don't mind that.
I think watching people arguing is funny.
And George Costanza and anybody he dated loved all that stuff with all his neuroses.
But I would say 1923, Brandon and Alexandra, the Dutton.
And what was her name on the show?
I gotta find this out now.
She was just Alexandra and he was Spencer Dutton, right?
Okay.
Conrad says how I met your mother no surprise there.
What do you say eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five civic Man, I'm getting more and more distracted by people that walk by the window here gelato and
I
want to wave I don't know if it's gelato or if it's just downtown Green Bay in the summertime, but it's sort of like It's kind of hoppin.
It's better than in the winter.
Yeah.
Well, I mean,
you know, not a lot of people want to go for a walk in the winter
Certainly not down here
So how was your, alright, I have to ask you, because you did a, you went to a comedy show.
I did, yes.
A very filthy comedian.
Yes, I can't repeat anything he said.
It would just be bleeps.
Yep.
Wow,
that's really, that's kind of impressive.
You know, you never know what he was gonna, because I've went to his shows before and every time I'm like, I wonder if he's gonna reuse something.
Yeah.
He didn't reuse one thing.
That's pretty impressive.
From his last
show.
And the last show I saw him was like two years ago now.
But
he also put out.
two specials on YouTube between that time.
And he didn't use any of those jokes he used in that special either.
And I'd say let's play a clip, but it doesn't sound like we could even pull it off here on.
I would have to do a lot of bleeping.
Just play a bleep and we'll get an idea of his potty mouth.
What, how long did he do?
How long was he on
stage?
So it was about 50 minutes, I think.
50?
Okay.
It was opening act.
There was a, there was a like a 15 minute opener.
Which he was pretty funny.
He's good.
He's pretty good.
Those are the sweet spots, man.
I used to love opening because like when you open at a theater, like I opened for Huey Lewis and the news and Myrtle Beach and it's just such a sweet gig.
It's like good money.
And, you know, you don't have to do that long either.
And the crowd is there like they paid big money to be there.
They're ready to laugh.
You get no jackasses or no hecklers.
Typically, I mean, unless you really suck,
well, you would get that.
But this one says that we don't do any heckling at all or you'll be thrown out.
Where was it?
It was the improv in Brookfield.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I know the big thing that they made a joke about it was is that it's in a strip ball and they kept talking about this in a strip ball in Brookfield.
Okay.
And I'm surprised anyone showed up.
Well, it sounds like fun.
I had a good father's day.
Did you talk to your dad yesterday?
Well, my dad was back in town.
He's in Wisconsin.
That's
right.
Well, he's he's I believe he's on a flight right now
back to flow back to fly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So
yeah, we went out to
Went out to dinner.
So I said he came to you on Father's Day.
Actually, I went to Appleton and then as he was staying at my brother's house.
Okay.
Just your dad or your mom
too?
Just my dad.
My dad came back to check up on grandma.
Oh,
sweet.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was a good day.
I like to do nothing on those days.
I don't like to make decisions.
I don't like to really be talked too much.
just like to play video poker, maybe watch a movie, take a walk, play some soccer golf.
But we did go to my folks for dinner and I was glad the Cubs won yesterday.
So my dad was happy because he gets really, this is what my dad did.
And he's done this a couple of times more recently.
He's like, Pete, cause I watched the last three innings of the Cub game with him and it ended in a tie.
So I was like, well, I gotta go, you know, so I can go back later.
And he says, all the Cubs pulled it out in the 10th, pull up the highlights.
So as I pull up the highlights on my phone to put it to their TV, he tells me play by play what happened.
I'm like, dad, I got the highlights right here.
And want to watch it.
I wanted to watch it, but he was excited.
So it was a good Father's Day all around.
Spent some time with my daughter.
She got me some nice gifts.
Lots of fun.
So I hope all the dads out there had a great day.
We are doing it Monday style here at Night Light, folks.
We are broadcasting live from downtown Green Bay all over the beautiful state of Wisconsin on what is finally a warm day here.
Hope you're having a great day.
And we are coming back with maybe some Bill Burr.
What else did I say we might play?
Well, whose birthday is it?
Laurie Metcalf.
Laurie Metcalf.
Oh, we got a funny clip from
her.
And we'll read your texts.
That's all coming up next on Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media Radio Network.
Welcome
back.
This is Nightlight with Pete Schwabba.
I am Pete Schwabba.
It is great to have you here on a Monday, folks.
We've got great guests tonight.
A really fun question.
Who's your favorite on-screen couple?
Movies or TV, it doesn't matter.
You can share either one.
I said Spencer Dutton and Alexandra from 1923, mostly because it's just current.
There's been, obviously, over the course of Hollywood, there have been some incredible movie couples, Bogey and Bacall.
You can go back if you want to go back a ways.
I said Sam and Diane were fun to watch just because they argued so much.
Conrad said, the couple from How I Met Your Mother.
But let us know what you think.
We got our social media responses here.
Did you see Rich Tolerico's response?
Was it?
His favorite movie couple or TV couple is Dolly Parton.
Just Dolly Parton, all right?
Well, use your imagination.
Brilliant, thank you, Rich.
Matt Harper says, Timothy Olyphant as Raelyn Givens and Natalie's, oh yeah.
Raelyn Givens and Winona Hawkins.
Oh, I gotta look the, Raelyn Givens is a great character.
I love Justified and I am totally due for a rewatch, but I'm trying to remember if Winona Hawkins was,
his ex-girlfriend or his ex-wife.
He had like two main love interests.
That is such a good show.
And Walton Goggins was on that show too.
I think it's Natalie Zea.
I don't know if I'm saying that right, but she was great.
And he had an ex-wife who I thought was really good too.
But great show and great text.
Thank you, Matt.
Monica Hale says, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn on and off screen.
Okay, that works.
Boy, they've been together a long time.
Like kind of like Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.
Maybe we'll do an off-screen couple next time.
That could be fun.
So our question is, who is your favorite on or off-screen couple?
Let us know.
855-752-4842-8557.
We are going to read some text now and then we'll get to a funny clip I found.
Anna from Madison.
She's in the 608.
Obviously, she says, Hi Pete and Conrad.
My favorite on-screen couple is Robert Redford and Barbara Streisand in the way we were.
Yeah, they were a good one.
That's a great one, Anna.
I like the classic stuff too.
Like the Hollywood classics are great too.
Travis and Eau Claire, he's in the, or dialing us from the 618 or texting us.
It says, since you already said Marshall and Lily, I also really liked Ted and the mother.
I was so bummed by the ending, I don't think they should have killed her.
What?
Spoiler alert.
What happened there, Conrad?
Well, she got a disease, and her name is Tracy McConnell.
On a sitcom?
Yeah, and she was played by Kristen Malody, I believe that's how you say her name.
Okay.
Yeah, it's, I mean, that's one of the reasons that where people are like, man, the ending just sucks to that show.
I do remember hearing that.
And then the whole thing is pretty much like him asking his kids like,
Can I date your aunt Robin?
He gets together with the sister.
No It's you know, it's like one of those friendships where they call You know his friends like aunt or uncle, you know, okay, they're not actually related Interesting.
All
right.
I agree.
They were a good couple though.
Yeah.
All right.
Very good Thank You Travis Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids says
Who does Tyler say?
I think his text got kind of mixed up there.
So I'll come back to that one.
Tom in New Berlin says, Pete, if it comes down to brewers, cubs, what a joy both cities share so much.
I agree, Tom.
It is weird that we have, we're not the same state, but you know, like I grew up, all my mom's relatives are in Milwaukee.
So I went through a ton of brewers games and my grandparents lived there.
My parents met at Marquette and then my dad's family was raised in Chicago.
So I'm kind of with you, Tom.
I don't get the vitriol sometimes.
It's a fun rivalry, but some people take it too far.
I think it's just kind of fun.
Tyler from Wisconsin Rapid says, Moonlightings, Civil Shepherd, and Bruce.
He said, Bruce, what's his name?
You couldn't remember, Bruce Willis?
He did correct himself with another text.
But that's a good one.
Moonlighting was a fun show.
Ed in Madison says, Beatrix, Kitto, and Bill, kill Bill.
I don't remember the names, but I remember the movies very well.
Love it, Ed.
Thank you.
What did you say?
So, on the social media, Monica Hale actually changed her mind.
Who did?
Monica Hale.
Oh, what did she say?
Instead of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, she said, I'd like to change mine to Miran Loy and William Powell in the Thin Man movies.
Oh, I have not seen
those.
I haven't either.
Sounds kind of morbid though, right?
Is the Thin Man a whore film?
If it is, then that's definitely why I haven't seen it.
Oh, Monica, you need help.
Totally kidding.
Thank you for the text, Monica.
Let's Google that con.
I will, yeah.
And find that out, because I want to kind of, I always like to know what the textures are talking about if I'm not clued in, which oftentimes I am not.
Anna from Madison says, hi, Pete and Conrad.
Oh, we already read that one.
Jim from Appleton says, let's hop into the TARDIS and visit the best, sometimes contentious couple, Desi and Lucy's.
And Desi and Lucy, you got some splendid to do.
Let's hop into the tar, was that their last name?
Conrad says the character from the movie and book series, Thin Man, the internet meme, urban legend inspired by the character and the term used in the supernatural episode, Thin Man.
So it is kind of a horror.
It says it's 1934 is when the movie.
How do I not know about this?
I gotta do a little research.
Detective
Nick Charles and his wealthy wife, Nora, investigate a murder case.
Mostly for the fun of it.
Nice.
Like heart to heart.
Monica, I will look more into this.
Thank you for keeping me honest.
Jack from Merrimack says, best on-screen couple, George and Gracie Burns, if you're too young to know whom I'm talking about, with second place Fred and Ginger.
I'm a really old guy.
Jack from Merrimack.
Sorry, Jack, it's good.
People should stretch their boundaries a little bit.
Look up some of those classic Hollywood couples.
They're fun.
Mark from Prairie to Sac says TV Chuck Chuck and Sarah movie just like heaven David and Lizzie TV Chuck.
I don't know TV Chuck.
Did you watch that con?
No, thank you mark All right, keep those texts coming folks.
It's a fun question tonight.
We will come back very shortly after the news We're gonna be here and we'll be joined by
Dietitian and nutritionist, our pal Sherry Stoka will join us over the stream.
She'll answer some questions if you have them, and we're going to talk a little bit about the ozempic craze.
Can I take it just for one leg?
I don't know.
Probably not.
I'm
asking you.
Dave on the stream says Dave Kunish reposted the stream.
I don't understand that.
He reposted it.
Reposted what?
The stream.
I don't get it.
So it goes to his, his, his, his.
Oh,
fantastic.
Love it.
Thank you, Dave.
All right, we're coming right back.
It's Pete Schwab and
Nightlight.
thing if I just start dancing on the radio?
Well, I mean, if they tune into the stream, they can see a lot too.
We're grooving tonight.
It's a Monday night on Nightlight.
I am Pete Schwabba.
Welcome back to the show, folks.
It is great to have you here tonight on this first warm day, probably since last summer here in Wisconsin.
That's what we do, folks.
We live in the cold.
And this spring in particular has really sucked.
but I see us turning the corner.
I'm very excited.
I hope you're having a great day and I'm glad you're here to talk movies and TV and comedy and anything that catches our interest.
One of the things I'm very interested in folks and I don't talk about it that much on the show but I feel like it's important to talk about from time to time because you wanna live long, you wanna live a healthy life so you can watch movies and TV and listen to music into your very high 90s and 100s and here to help us do that is
My pal, she is a nutritionist and a dietitian and she is the owner of Wayless MD just outside Milwaukee.
She joins us now on the stream, Sherry Stoka.
Sherry, welcome back.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for inviting me back.
Oh, it's a pleasure.
This stuff I could honestly, you know, people do podcasts for like three hours.
I could just sit here and pepper you with questions all night, but I know you have kids and a family and I won't do that to you, but I appreciate you giving us a little bit of your Monday night.
Absolutely.
I mean, I love talking about it as well.
And I'm all about getting information out there because I feel like there's just a lot of misinformation.
So anytime we can talk through things, I think it's amazing.
I think it's great too.
Let me ask you something before we jump into the topic of Osempic, which I find fascinating.
Do you find that most people in your field, like they say psychologists or psychiatrists,
And I'm generalizing, but I kind of messed up themselves.
Do people in your line of work struggle with this stuff too?
And that's why they're passionate about it, or are they like fit from the get-go and just want to help people?
Oh geez, yeah, no.
I mean, as a nutritionist or dietitian, I mean, the reason why I got into like the more of...
the integrative medicine like holistic approach is because I have me got like suffered with gut issues forever.
And like, that was like, a big thing for me.
And I have a lot of my clients are dietitians.
So I do feel I mean, not like not the majority by any means, but I definitely feel like people, you know, within their profession, they still
they still struggle in various ways.
Yeah, that's interesting.
So what you, I know last time you were here, you talked about being a college athlete.
When did your, when did your passion hit and when did you realize you wanted to make this a career?
Yeah, I, well, I knew
I knew that like the health and not, we didn't use wellness, we didn't use that term, you know, back in the day, but I knew I wanted to be in healthcare and I went into healthcare and probably 10, 15 minutes into healthcare, I felt like things were not what I had planned for, you know, because I talk a lot about just
our system and the conventional medical system.
And it's a bit, a bit misguided.
It's a bit corrupt.
And so that's where I feel I'm, I'm big into root cause illness.
I'm big into root cause disease, like let's, let's understand the underlying condition so we can fix it rather than have a pill for every ailment.
And, and so I, I
I did kind of realize that somewhat early on, I mean because I only spent really like 10 years in the system before I realized that I wanted to do my own thing.
Hmm interesting and what you do is more preventative too.
I think in some ways it's almost more important like I have a great primary care physician who is focused on preventative stuff and I like I love finding people like that because I agree with you It's like let's throw a pill at it or something after the fact, but if we can prevent this stuff We're all gonna be better off.
So let's jump in like you called I wanted to ask you about this because I have more and more friends
who are AnoZempic, and the commercials are all over the place.
You called it GLP-1, which is the technical or clinical term, I guess.
What are your overall thoughts?
And for those of you who don't know, why don't you just tell us what GLP-1 is for people listening?
You'd probably do a much better job with that than me.
Yeah, so GLP-1 stands for glucagon like peptide.
So the medications are agonist.
So they're designed to mimic
what the body is designed to do when when we consume food.
So GLP-1 agonists just mean that we're inducing a signaling in the body that really is supposed to happen but no longer happens.
So you're injecting with a peptide.
A peptide is essentially a chain of amino acids.
So I mean we could go down like
a zillion rabbit holes, but I do I do tell people that because I'm against the majority of medications.
I speak about it all the time.
I think that so many things can be fixed just by tweaking certain things.
I do look at these medications a little bit differently because in our
In our state of health, we have diseases of modernity.
We have diseases of our environment.
The standard American diet is like highly processed.
We no longer get real food.
Our water is terrible.
We drink out of plastic.
We're full of microplastics.
So we have to adapt to that.
And the low grade inflammation that's going on in everyone's body is really prohibiting
certain GLP signaling to happen.
So in a sense, we call it a medication, but I like peptides because I take various peptides.
I think they're super amazing, like more longevity and rejuvenation type of treatments.
But we are mimicking what the body essentially is designed to do.
And a GLP is designed to help you feel full, right, when you
eat.
It's designed to slower, you know, gastric motility.
So, you know, you get certain signaling to the brain that signals appetite suppression.
But one of the main roles of these medications is to help with insulin secretion.
And the majority of people have metabolic dysfunction.
So
they're insulin resistant.
And insulin resistance is the foundation for metabolic dysfunction, meaning we can't clear sugar from our bloodstream very effectively anymore.
So these medications come in and now we're able to kind of get the insulin to take the sugar out of the blood, get it into the cell.
so the body can use it, and now you actually can burn fat.
Because nowadays, nobody can really lose weight on their own anymore.
It's just completely changed.
That is what fascinates me.
My guest is Sheri Stoker.
She's the owner of Wayless MD and a dietitian and nutritionist.
She's joining us on the stream tonight.
Sheri, how do you feel about that?
I'm kind of on the fence.
Like I feel like if people, whatever they have to do to keep the weight off or prevent diabetes or knee replacements or whatever is good, but where should that happen?
How much should be exhausted with other preventative measures before they go to something like Osempic or something else?
Yeah, I mean, so this is the problem because the root cause is standard American diet.
That's the root cause.
The root cause is obesogens, preservatives, dyes, fillers, emulsifiers that are in our food.
So it's not as easy as telling someone to just eat healthier.
We work on the foundational things all the time, but now the conversation with clients is, find a farm.
Find local sources eat real we're missing.
We're missing the real food component that's feeding our gut that's causing normal functioning normal signaling and So so all of those things are very very important and so it will take longer For you to get into a healthier state, but and eat healthier and like all things will eventually happen.
It's just now people have
the patients for it because they get frustrated because they resort to the standard American diet, which unbeknownst to them is not really helping because of everything that's in the food.
Yeah.
And that's got to be where you come in, I mean, or any dietitian or nutritionist.
Like, have you ever like
encourage someone to go on something like Osempic, or are you more like, no, we are gonna see this through, you're gonna lose more weight, you're gonna do this the right way.
That must be kind of a weird line for you to walk.
Yeah, well, I mean, we offered.
I mean, we're seeing, I see 30 people a day on these things because how I explain these medications is that they are supporting the process to better health.
So if you go on Osempic and just to just to provide context Osempic the the generic is some is is semi-glutide So Osempic or will gov is the same exact product.
It's just one is approved for diabetes and one is approved for weight loss It's the same exact thing.
So we give we get our product through a company pharmacy and it's some it's semi-glutide and so
the majority of our patients have major metabolic dysfunction.
So this, this is addressing the root cause with the insulin, you know, the insulin part, the, the appetite suppression, people immediately say the food noise is gone.
We, it is helping support the process, but we are working on everything else at the same time.
So it's kind of like a crutch.
You think about an injury.
Right.
If you were to break your leg and you go on a crutch and the entire time you're on the crutch, you do nothing to, to, to improve the healing process.
You will always need the crutch.
Right.
But if you're doing physical therapy, if you're doing the things you're doing, um, you know, all the things to get you to a healthier state, then you can go off of the crutch and you're, you're fine.
So it's kind of like the same exact thing.
So what what about the side effects are people are and I've heard also that I had a friend who was upset because he put all the weight back on pretty quickly like how do you Is there a transition phase or something people can do to help because that that was a shock to him
Yeah, well, unfortunately, the majority of people are who are managing people on these on these injections are not managing them appropriately.
So number one side effects are side effects absolutely can happen.
I mean of what they're doing, you know, but it's the titratable medication.
So you start someone on a low dose and you titrate
You customize it but the way that the pharmaceutical industry sets it up is that it's a one-size-fits-all titration So people are increasing their dose on these medications and they're feeling terrible.
Yeah,
they're having so many medications But they're like, oh my god, but one three it said I had to go up to this so the pen injects it Injects, you know that amount they're tearing they're losing weight They're happy but it's actually causing more issues because of the trauma that it's causing in the body so
So the customization and the management is so crucial, but the other piece is that when you are losing a weight, whether it's slow, whether it's fast, whatever it is, you have to know what you're losing.
Let's let's
pick up right there.
Okay, we gotta do a really short break.
This is great And we're coming right back with Sherry Stoka and we're talking about ozempic folks.
It's the big rage right now We'll jump more into that with Sherry when we come back after this very short break.
This is Pete Schwabba in Nightlight on the Civic Media radio network
This is Nightlight.
I am Pete Schwab.
Great to have you with me on this Monday night.
We don't like to miss out on texts.
And Bud from Janesville, he's in the 608, drives around between 4 a.m.
and 6 a.m.
I don't want to know what he's doing at those hours.
I'm kidding, he's delivering papers.
So he often texts us during the rebroadcast and he says, hey Pete, this came in what Saturday morning probably right, Conn?
After
a Friday show, because
our question, yeah.
He says, hey Pete, I appreciate your perspective on Kendrick Lamar.
He made some good points and since you said you like him more, since the halftime show, I'm gonna give a longer listen and see if I come away singing a different tune.
Thanks, well done, bud.
He says, I love the show, bud from Jamesville.
Again, I'm not the biggest Kendrick fan.
I just oftentimes my kids will explain something to me, like why I should like something.
And I'm like, okay, yeah.
And I see things through a different perspective.
So that's kind of what happened there.
But yeah, I think he's kind of cool.
We have Sherry Stoka here from WaylessMD.
She is answering our questions about health and wellness.
And we were talking about Ozempic.
Sherry, I asked you what people can do to kind of
transition awful is that because a lot of people have gained weight back and you were in the middle of a point before I had to cut to a break.
Yeah.
So I was talking about the importance of looking beyond just the weight on the scale, right?
Metabolic health is driven by our muscle mass and our lean body tissue.
So if you're not approaching weight loss in the correct way, your body will go to muscle.
And so this is the problem that the majority of people are facing.
They're going on these medications.
They're not really changing anything other than they're eating less.
And so they're not getting their body into a healthier metabolic state.
So then
of course, you know, you can actually lose weight and put yourself in a worse state of health.
And for the people that gain weight right away, that's probably what's happening.
They probably have lost more muscle mass and we can't afford really to do that, especially as we age.
And so that's kind of the result.
That's fascinating.
I wanted to ask you this too because I know there are medications for this as well.
I had a physical recently and the only, you know, they test all your blood and all that and my cholesterol because of my age is starting to creep up a little bit, not medication worthy yet.
But what, like, what would you tell someone who came in?
Are there natural or holistic ways to bring down your cholesterol or increase your good cholesterol with just diet and exercise?
see another rabbit hole.
Like, okay.
So first of all, cholesterol and elevated cholesterol, I mean, and maybe you already know this, but I just want to say it because I feel like this is just more misinformation that's out there.
Cholesterol has is not from like cholesterol in our food.
So I just want to like debunk that.
I want to debunk the fact that
People say that cholesterol is from saturated or high cholesterol is from saturated fat and you know like eggs and things like that Elevated cholesterol is from some sort of inflammation in the body.
Okay, so when you when when You go to your doctor and you know your cholesterol is getting a little bit above 200 or what have you which I think any you know
I don't know, again, I'm trying to not to go down the rabbit hole, but I just try to help people understand like statins are not the answer because it's not addressing the root cause, right?
I mean, so we're trying to get your cholesterol down to a level with a statin that's stopping the production of cholesterol when really the root causes, let's kind of figure out where the inflammation is happening in the body.
So usually inflammation is from
The standard American diet, it's usually from sugar.
It's not from the fat in your diet.
It's usually from, you know, again, eating too much sugar, eating too much breads, carbs, things like that.
And so to decrease or help get cholesterol to a...
correct level, it's usually looking at the diet and looking at like the carbs and the sugar.
It's not fixating on like the fats or anything like that.
So does that mean like more of a gluten-free diet would be better to control cholesterol if you didn't have carbs or gluten?
I mean, not necessarily because there's a million gluten-free products out there that are terrible, you know, and they're still carb-y.
They're just so gluten-free.
It would be more like a lower carb diet.
rather than like gluten-free.
So eating lower carb real foods versus finding a box on the shelf that says, oh, gluten-free, because a lot of people are very tricked by that and they think, oh, gluten-free is healthy and it's low carb.
That couldn't be further from the truth.
So if people wanted to come to you on an official basis, Sherry, where can they find more information about you or Weyla's MD?
Yeah, well, I mean, they can certainly go to our website at waylossumd.com.
We have a lot of information there.
Setting up, you can set up a free consultation and you can also call us and it's our number is 262-226-2046.
I mean, we're on social media just to get a sense of the messaging that I'm putting out there.
Yeah, so multiple ways.
I'm trying to think, can we keep you for a couple of minutes after the news?
Of course.
All right.
Let's see.
We got about a minute before the news.
I'm trying to think of what I can ask you.
Have there been diet trends?
Like, you know, first it was low carb, then it's high protein and all this stuff.
What should people avoid?
Should they avoid all those altogether and count calories and eat more whole foods?
Or has there been a craze that you've kind of been, or a trend where you've kind of been, yeah, that one's okay.
I do like a couple things, but again, it's all about getting the body into a healthier state.
Otherwise, none of them will work, right?
So like you, I think you would put a couple of things out there like the, like a vegetarian, the keto.
instrument and fasting.
They're all good short-term and they all have their little, they all have their nuances.
I try to get, one of the main things that I do in the most simplistic way is get people to eat whole foods and you have to go organic.
There's controversy with that but your chances are it's going to be better than the alternative.
and to stop eating so frequently.
We have to extend the period of time between meals.
So intermittent fasting a couple of times a week is usually where I will start with people and start from there and Whole Foods.
I love that you said that.
We can talk more about that too.
Sherry Stokas here from Whales MD.
We're going to do intermission folks and she's going to stick around for a couple of minutes of act two.
We're coming right back.
This is Pete Chihuahua on the Civic Media Radio Network.
Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay, this is Night Light with Pete Schwabba.
Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.
And now a guy who prefers to travel by catapult, Pete Schwabba.
Welcome back!
to act two of nightlight on this Monday night.
I am Pete Schwab.
It is so great to have you with me, folks.
I hope you had a great day.
I
hope all the dads had a great Father's Day.
We just heard that promo, DeLorean Walls.
He will be on the show.
Is it Wednesday, Con?
It's Men's Mental Health Month, so we'll have DeLorean on.
He was on Mino and the Mayor and crushed it.
Yeah, it's Wednesday.
Yeah, yeah, Wednesday.
It's 7
20.
Very excited to talk to DeLorean If you missed the first hour of the show, we've got our question of the night is who is your favorite big screen or little screen couple?
It could be TV or movies Bridget from the 818 says Shrek and Fiona.
That's a great answer.
Yeah We've got to catch up on some text.
We'll do that in a few minutes and then from the Time Community Theater and Oshkosh Phil Kraus will be here to talk about what's going on at his really cool
Independent Theater.
We talked about Ozempic with our guest, Sherry Stoka, and she is guiding us into healthier ways here and her appearance on Night Light Tonight.
It's always great to have her.
Sherry, do you have a favorite on-screen couple?
Well, when you asked that, I was like, I mean, I don't know if it's my favorite, but it's the first thing that popped in my head.
And it was Ross and Rachel.
Oh, that's a great.
We haven't, now unless somebody texted that in, I have not heard Ross and Rachel yet.
So I'm, I was surprised because I thought that would be one of the go-tos, but that's a great choice.
Thank
you.
Yeah, I was like pretty
upset with that.
Same.
So, all right, so let's do this.
Before we let you get on with your evening, tell us, for people that don't have, you know, I have friends that have had their blood drawn and figured out the root cause of gut issues and what to do, but a lot of that,
testing can be elective and very expensive.
What would you tell people listening who don't have a ton of money to spend on health necessarily outside of what they make?
What can they do on a very simple level in their life to eat better, have better gut health and just have a healthier lifestyle?
Yeah, I mean, it's just really getting off of the processed foods is gonna be, it's gonna be huge.
I mean,
people don't really eat fruits and vegetables anymore.
We don't get the fiber.
I mean, you don't the amount we're supposed to back in the day, like the recommended amount of fiber was like 50 grams to 75 grams a day.
We don't get we don't even get like 10 grams.
So now the recommendation has changed to like 25 to 35 fiber regulates so many different things and like, but health obviously is like foundational to the human body.
So
I know it's I know it's difficult because a lot of people will think okay standard American diet.
I am eating I'm pretty like as we hear it all the time I'm eating healthy Yeah, like I'm choosing this but but you have to take it a step further and you have to look on the labels like The number of people that drink those premier drinks from like Costco like they think it's fine because the label is like oh my gosh I'm getting 30 grams of protein and there's no sugar and there's not it's the worst poisonous food
that you could be consuming.
So it's really taking a step back and eating clean.
And because these toxins, what we'll call them, their preservatives, emulsifiers, dyes, et cetera, those get stored in our fat stores.
And when the fat stores, the fat stores become inflamed.
When they become inflamed, they become resistant.
You no longer can burn them.
So the first step is really
getting the fake stuff out, that is truly what will move the needle without any specialists.
You really don't need any specialists.
That's really fascinating.
You talked a little bit before the break about lower carb.
I used to eat cereal with high fiber, and then I just thought cereal wasn't good for me.
So I've cut out a lot of the carbs from my diet.
How do you get that fiber you're talking about?
Because it seems like high fiber foods have a lot of carbs sometimes, or they can.
If you're on a low carb diet, how do you offset that by taking in?
I mean, it's a challenge because you're exactly right.
Grains have the most fiber, but now our grains, our GMO,
they're not real, they're a hybrid of who knows what and so it's really really hard to to get the fiber unless you're going above and beyond and getting um there are now places that you can order from and get like real grains but but what we do what we'll do is just ensure that you're getting the fruits and vegetables because that has a lot of fiber and then there there are there's supplements you know but
But I'm not like, I'm not talking about metamucil and things like that.
I'm talking about real, real fiber that is from like a credible company that it's actually benefiting, you know, benefiting our gut health.
That's a great answer.
Uh, do we have a couple of textures that have questions for you?
Can I, can I throw these at
you?
Absolutely.
All right.
Uh, Lori from Hayward, she's in the seven one five says, can you ask your dietician?
What's the best thing for elderly people to keep up muscle mass and what is the difference between high cholesterol and low cholesterol?
That's Lori from Hayward.
Thank you, Lori.
Yeah.
So studies show that we can increase muscle mass at any age.
And so anytime you can get some type of resistance training is going to be crucial.
Getting adequate protein by far is going to be essential.
So usually, you know, you can estimate your calorie needs, but
the recommendation is is easier, easier conversion would be like one gram per ideal body weight.
Like, okay, so if you weighed like 100 pounds, then actually that no, I see, there's nuances to the like the record.
Sure.
And I don't want to throw it out there.
Because then, you know, I don't want people to like start
Following that without it being customized, but adequate protein adequate protein is crucial But the other piece to this and this is another mistake people make is they focus so much on the protein for muscle mass But they don't get enough calories So if you don't get enough calories your protein will just be used for energy for calories
you can't build the protein if you don't have the foundation of the calorie.
So it's really making sure that you have all those pieces and doing some sort of muscle resistance.
It doesn't have to be obviously like heavy weight, but just stimulate the muscle in, you know, as much as you can.
It's great advice and then we have one more here from one of our regular textures as is Lori Steady Eddie says a serious question How does sherry feel about taking a probiotic supplement any recommendations taking high quality probiotic works for Steady Eddie?
Yeah, another another really kind of like a complex question so probiotics Study after study shows that probiotics on like a retail shelf of like Walgreens
Walmart, like those are no longer viable.
I mean, probiotics are live bacteria.
So they have to be viable in order to help.
So typically my suggestion to people is always this, never buy from Amazon, never buy from the big retail, find somebody where you can or contact us because we have a whole online store where you can get a good, viable, credible, clean,
probiotic.
But the other key thing is, is switching the product over time.
There are so many different strains of bacteria that make up our ecosystem.
And people take one probiotic.
So that's, I mean, it's, it's not doing much because you need to support all of the different strains of bacteria, not just one, two or three.
So I definitely think it's
Everyone should be taking one, but don't waste your money by buying from Amazon or Walgreens.
Such complicated stuff.
I know.
It's so nuanced.
That's why maybe you need someone like Sherry to kind of guide you at Wayless MD.
Sherry Stoke is my guest.
As I mentioned, she is one of the owners or the owner of Wayless MD and a dietitian and nutritionist.
Let me ask you, I got two more quick questions for you, Sherry.
You obviously stay in shape.
You were a college athlete, like we mentioned.
Do you have a cheat day or what do you adhere to in your life?
What has worked for you?
Yeah.
So what works for me, I've kind of like played with my diet quite a bit.
And so in order for me, I focus on protein in order for me to get a lot of protein, I do take a lot of clean protein powder.
Okay.
Because I don't like to eat a lot of animal protein.
And that's where you get your most protein.
I don't eat processed foods as much as humanly possible.
And and I just I mean,
like if you were to ask if my if my sisters were like right next to me like oh my god she doesn't eat anything but i do like i will i mean we're human right we're meant to have the human experience and and there are days definitely that i eat that i don't eat ideal but i don't have like a day where um i'm gonna have i that i go to mcdonald like i don't eat fast food i don't do any of that but i will have like dessert on occasion but i'm always like getting back on track i mean i kind of feel like that's
more.
And I don't eat, I don't eat all day long.
I used to eat all day long.
And we talked about this like previously, like, we humans were not designed to like eat snack, small frequent meals, we were designed to have three meals a day and have five to six hours between meals.
That that in itself, if people did that without putting food in their mouth, like snacking all day long, that also can change things.
Wow, that's interesting.
And that's what's confusing too, because I remember that was all the rage for a while.
Well, just grades
throughout the day.
Exactly.
And then I found fasting and I'm like, I only need to eat once a day.
Like I love this lifestyle.
I sleep better.
I mean, it's, so next time you're here, let's do more of a deep dive on fasting because I know you and I have talked about that over the years and I've become a big fan of it too.
And as usual, having you on has motivated me not to eat Taco Bell for at least three or four days now.
So I really appreciate.
listeners really like when you're on, my goal is to provide a service and help them be healthy and good TV watchers into their 90s.
I know that sounds like a conflict there.
Yeah, but the key thing is, and people always say, like, why do you usually do so many things?
Because I do.
I'm like on top of it.
I'm like, exercise or galore.
And I'm like, I don't want to live to 90 or 100.
I just want to feel freaking amazing when I'm alive, you know?
I want my brain health.
I want my body to be physically fit.
So that's my goal every day.
Yeah, you don't want to outlive everybody and the next generation.
You just want to be healthy while you're here.
I just want to feel good while I'm here.
Well, we feel good when we talk to you.
This is fun as always.
Let's do it again.
And thank you so
much for your time,
Sherry.
Thank you so much, Pete.
I really enjoyed
it.
You got it.
Likewise.
Thanks so much.
All right.
Check out Wayless MD, folks.
Sherry does great work there.
And it's always fun to talk to her.
When we come back, we're going to talk to Phil Krause.
We're not leaving yet, though.
I think I can get a text or two in here.
Let's do some stream texts.
Joseph Wolfe on the stream, he's watching on YouTube says, screen couples, movie giant, Liz Taylor, Rock Hudson, love the classics.
A lot of people throwing the classics out there tonight.
Thank you, Joseph.
Joseph also says, screen couples all in the family, Maureen Stapleton, Carol O'Connor.
They were a fun couple, kind of like Homer and Marge.
But that's OK.
Dave says Greg Nelson.
Oh, Greg Nelson and Jenny Gardner.
I think 1980s soaps.
I might have teared up.
Nothing wrong with that, Dave.
Paula Conrad's mom checks in and says Kate Beckett and Richard Castle from Castle.
That's a show I have to check out.
I haven't seen people are people flip for Castle.
I had it's definitely one I need to check out.
We've got let's see.
We read Bridgettexed.
Let's do steady Eddie.
Uh, he says Pete.
Oh, we already read that.
Okay.
He says, unserious question.
He has to serious question to our guest, Sherry.
And now steady Eddie says, unserious question.
Uh, is it okay to eat Kentucky fried chicken with my fingers?
The doctor says, no, your finger should always be eaten separately.
Hi.
Oh, he says that guy should be a comedian.
Steady Eddie says, P.S.
favorite celebrity couple, Pete and Conrad.
That's just wrong.
Steady Eddie.
We're just friends.
All right, we're coming right back with Phil Krause, owner of the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh.
It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio
Network.
Welcome back.
This is Nightlight.
I am Pete Schwabba, your ever-loving host for this evening's broadcast.
Great to have you with me.
Lori, I don't know if you know this Lori from the 715.
She asked a question of our last guest, Sheri Stoka, and then she sent a video of who I assume is her adorable grandchild playing.
And I don't know if that was meant for us, but if it was...
It was very nice, Laurie.
It's nice to see you influencing and raising a fellow future TV watcher.
So good for you.
Thank you, Laurie, for sharing.
Tom from New Berlin says, Van Dyke.
Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore, both funny and more accurate to Barron Goodman than they ad-lib.
That's acting chemistry.
They are a great couple.
Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke agreed that was outstanding.
And Mark from...
Prairie to Sax says the movie After the Thin Man, an affable fellow played by Stuart.
Yeah, I admit I am ignorant on those Thin Man films.
I'll have to check those out.
Thank you, Textors.
We'll read more of your text in just a little bit.
Right now, I'm excited to talk about one of my favorite, well, my favorite buildings, I would say, in general.
are theaters.
I love a crowded new megaplex, but even more than that, I love old theaters that have been around forever and have stories to tell, and especially those that are independent.
And right now, we are going to pivot here and talk to Phil Krause, the owner of the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh.
He owns just such a facility.
Phil, how are you?
I'm doing great.
How about you?
Doing very well.
Thank you very much.
It's great to have you on the show.
First of all, tell me, because I always thought, you know, I've kind of been in the entertainment business my whole adult life, whether it was comedy or writing or whatever.
But I always thought if I shift and do something else, I want to own an old, cool theater.
And you are the guy that owns an old, cool theater.
Tell us about the Time Community Theater and how you found it.
I tell you what.
The time community theater, it's a it's an exaggeration to say I own it.
Oh,
okay We're a we're a nonprofits We we rent the place from the owner Who owns most of the block?
There's been a theater in that spot since about 1907.
Oh,
wow
And the time community theater has been around since about 2007 and I was president about
I don't know, it's maybe 10 years into that.
So we're a
non-profit group.
We're run by a board and we're all volunteer.
And I definitely have a key to the place.
And since I'm an old white guy, everyone thinks I own it.
And that's fair enough, but... You
could play that card sometimes, pretend to be the owner, if it gets you somewhere.
Oh
yeah, no.
No, I'll show up at your mom's house with a clipboard and a nice tie and I'll own the place in 15 minutes.
My
mom would slam the door on you, Phil.
She likes... Oh, go ahead, sorry.
I was going to say she likes the mega places.
No,
we're run by a... Oh, okay.
Well, you know, maybe, uh, maybe, uh, maybe she'll be seduced by our prices,
but... Alright, let's just move off the topic of... Let's move off the top of my... The topic of my mom altogether.
You can show up at my house, Phil, and I would love to talk to you about the Time Community Theater, so...
Did Phil freeze?
Uh-oh.
I think we've got a bad, maybe we need to call Phil or something.
Or he's just doing that.
He's playing a joke and he's not moving so we think it's frozen.
I have friends that do that kind of thing.
David from Richland Center texted us and he says Finch and Stifler's mom are his favorite on-screen couple from American Pie.
That's a great one, David.
I was not anticipating.
Finch and Stifler's mom, that's great.
Let's see here.
Barb from Waukesha, she's in the 262 says, I love funny couples.
So Tina Fey and Steve Carell in Date Night.
Date Night was a great movie.
I've forgotten a lot about it, but I love when they end up in the apartment of the young couple who's kind of like, they've got like piercings and tattoos.
And Steve Carell and Tina Fey are like the conservative couple from the suburbs and the conversation and the dialogue.
in that scene is so funny.
That's a great one, Barb.
Nice pull there.
Mark from Prairie du Sac.
Oh, no, this is the part.
Okay, I read the Mark II text first.
He says, the thin man is detective-themed.
Their dog is named Asta, Jimmy Stewart, in a debut role.
Yes, I know some of this information.
I just have not seen it.
And I'm ashamed of myself.
And I think Annie is picking up on that.
Annie from Watertown in the 920 says, jeesh.
I think she meant sheesh.
She says, you missed this?
Yes, I did, Annie.
I haven't seen everything.
Look, I'm a fan.
I'm not a film scholar.
I'm a fan just like everybody else.
So you guys have given me something to watch and for that, I appreciate all of you.
Chris from Sun Prairie.
She says, you always make it so hard to choose.
One, I'm tied with best on-screen couple, sir, Lord and Gamora, and Peg and Al Bundy, I'm married with children.
Oh, that's a good one too.
Who, I'm blanking here, Lord and Gamora.
Khan, do you know who that is?
And if not, let's go to the Google.
I feel like that's like a Game of Thrones dealio.
Annie from Watertown, she's in the 920.
Or that's where her cell phone is at least.
She says, thin man movie series, the heavy, heavy drinking couple mingle with the high society crowd and the gangster community.
Nick Knew from his previous life as cop reporter.
I'm getting an education here tonight.
That's what I love about this show.
Thank you for these are all great texts.
And this is now on my list.
to check out.
All right, we're gonna try to get our guest Phil Krausey back.
Do we have his phone number?
We should just call Phil.
Yeah, I'm going to call
him.
Okay, call him after the break.
Phil is probably retooling.
We had a weird delay there.
There's nothing that kills jokes more than a weird delay.
So excited to get Phil back on the show.
Steve Conrad's dad listening tonight.
Happy belated Father's Day, Steve.
Steve, I told Conrad you look like a sports, your dad looks like a play-by-play guy on that social media post that Amanda did.
Yeah.
He's got that like...
He doesn't look like Vince Scully, or he looks like, I don't know, he looks like a sports play-by-play guy.
I think that's kind of cool.
Steve says, Michael and Carol Brady had a great chemistry to raise six children.
That's a great one, too.
Thank you, Steve.
All right, we are gonna do a short break for the news here, and then we will be back.
Hopefully we'll get Phil Krausey back on the phone and talk about the really cool Time Community Theater in Oshkosh that he does not own.
It's Pete Schwabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
Hey, this is John Legend and you're listening to Night Light with Pete Schwabba.
Welcome
back.
We are in the home stretch here.
This is Night Light with Pete Schwabba.
Great to have you with me.
Tomorrow night on the show, Madison movie critic Rob Thomas will be here to talk about
a juggernaut of a box office weekend, and PG movies are back.
What's the Minecraft movie?
Lilo and Stitch.
How to Train Your Dragon.
They've made over like a billion and a half dollars so far this summer.
Half of the take at the box office is from PG movies.
So we'll talk about that with Rob a little bit tomorrow and then Pete Levy from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel will be here talking about Summerfest right now We have a few more minutes.
Well, we really didn't even start Conrad.
We kind of got Streamy our kind of bonus there.
Yeah.
Yeah, so we have our guest back He is on the phone now Phil Krause.
He joins us.
He is the president El Presidente Phil would that be a proper term of the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh?
I do insist that that's what people call me
as you should.
All right, so we kind of got cut off, Phil.
Tell us a little bit about the cool history behind this theater.
You touched on it a little bit.
Give us some, some details too, maybe like capacity and that kind of stuff.
Okay.
So when I was a kid, the time was, I'm a, I'm a hoshkosh boy.
And the time is at 445 North Main Street in the hoshkosh.
And when I was a kid, it was a
two-screen Marcus movie theater,
and
they stopped doing movies there in the late 80s or early 90s.
For a while, it was a theater troupe called the Rebel Alliance Theater, who is still in Homero, I believe.
They'll teach us your Shakespeare, I think, is what they mostly do now.
They tore down the wall of the balcony theater, I believe.
And so now we're one big theater.
We're 444 seats approximately.
We've got a
few spots in the front, tables when we've got a live event.
We just had like Simmons out of Indiana, his family's from.
So we had him in and we had Greg Warren in earlier in the year and Jackie Cation and.
other degree comedians in and We've got tables for when that you know when alive comedians there And if you come with the wheels instead of your legs you can use those tables too Yeah And We're entirely won by volunteers.
I'm a volunteer Everyone on my board is a volunteer and everyone who comes and serves you popcorn and beer
when you come see our shows is a volunteer.
Well, that's great.
You have community in the title of the theater.
I love that.
And it sounds like it's just a great staple of the community there.
You've got some fans on social media when we posted that you were going to be on the show tonight.
Dan Davies said, Phil Rocks.
Oh, yeah.
Dan's done a couple things with us.
And maybe as well, definitely at least one more on the books.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah,
yeah He made that movie in 2010 maybe the editing the musical
yeah,
and we did a couple shows of that in the past couple years and then I believe he wrote it as a stage play and then brought in a great cast of folks And we did three shows with it on on our stage First couple days of April
We did that with them and they're coming back with their disc release of that show, like in September.
So yeah, Dan's a great guy and he's one of the folks that brings the live stuff to our stage.
So what gets you more excited?
You obviously put the shows together and you're kind of in charge there.
Do you like the live shows better than showing like, I know last night we gave you a shout out on Friday for your screening of the Magnificent Seven from 2016.
How did that go over and what do you prefer?
Do you prefer the live events or showing really cool films?
I tell you what, seeing comedy at the time is really great.
That energy is amazing.
When we have music which I don't know musicians or have the You know the chops to be a musician So but when there are musicians about once or twice a year music sounds amazing at the time nice, but really one of that one of the things that I Had been volunteering and then I got to watch I think it was Ghostbusters in a theater with About 300 people in it
Maybe that's over egging it a little bit.
And just, you know, some of them were seeing it for the first time.
Most of the people haven't seen it for the 20th, 25th time.
And just sharing the laughing and the screaming and the shouting and everybody having the same energy is really great.
So we're showing a movie you love.
Come see it at the time and share that energy because it's great to watch a thing on your couch, but
You know, if you
can have
444 people in your living room, please invite me
over.
Absolutely.
You just, you can't beat that.
My guest is Phil Krause.
He is the El Presidente of the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh.
They do some really cool stuff there.
What other events do you have coming up, Phil?
I know you have Cabaret on June 21st.
That looks like a lot of fun, speaking of classic movies, but tell us what else is coming up.
So that's on 21st.
The 27th is...
the gold rush.
That's 1925 or so, Charlie Chaplin.
And then we've got Bucca Rubanzai in the 28th.
Now, that'll be a free one.
Gold rush is free as well on Friday.
But Bucca Rubanzai is a free one.
And that is kind of honoring the memory and the family of Randall Moreau, who was Zach Moreau on
Chiller Theater on a Green Bay there.
Oh,
yeah.
And he used to do some events with us and I think two years ago he was sent to come and we got a message from his family like on Wednesday.
I was supposed to show up on Saturday that he wouldn't be well enough to come and then I think on Thursday we got news that he passed.
Oh, what a
bomber.
So we're doing this in memory of him.
The fellow that took over his mantle is going to be there.
uh whether he'll be wearing the white the white wig in the lab coat i don't know but so yeah so if you love if you love uh horror hosts come to the time and uh buckaroo banzai was his and his stepdaughter's favorite thing then the first one is in july we've got um final goes west you know um little mouse cat uh western story that's uh
great one for kids.
We try to do one for kids every month, so keep an
eye
on that.
And when we do, we've got a parents group that does a little respite area up in our upper lobby.
So the kids that aren't used to sitting through, you know, to our movies can come do a coloring page and then come find mom and dad.
And then right after that, we've got Honor Among Feeds.
It's from 2023, I think, the Dungeons and Dragons movie.
Oh,
yeah.
And we're going to call that our volunteer recruitment.
show, find your party as it were.
So if you fill out a volunteer interest form, we'll give you a free bag of popcorn because it's literally the least we can do.
Well, not literally, but almost literally.
But
yeah,
let me, Phil, let me ask you something.
When you show a movie, is the Chaplain film
the gold rush is that that's a silent film right
um i've got the yes
to this how do those go oh i remember like when i lived in la there was a silent movie theater you've got all these movie buffs and nine million people so they had a great uh you know sort of clientele to pull from how does that go over in ashkosh are there enough movie fanatics that would really dig a silent film like that because i think it's so great that you're offering that to the public
So I tell you what, we do a series, one of the presidents immediately before me, and maybe I'll get a chance to talk to him someday, John Pada.
He's made
a movie or three on his own.
He's been on the show, yeah, I know John.
Yeah, great
guy.
He knew you could show these public domain movies, and you know, you ethically shouldn't charge for the door, but you can...
been charged for beer and popcorn and t-shirts and put out a donation bucket.
And basically the time was built on John throwing a projector in the middle of the floor and showing, you know, Ega and, you know, Hercules and Gamera and, you know, Cave of the Forgotten Monster or whatever.
And then it got, so we did those, that was called Friday Fright Night.
And we did those and then basically it got to be, you know, everything that was out there that people wanted to see, you know, they'd already seen it.
Yeah.
So we threw in for public domain everything before 1927 this year, I think is public domain.
So a lot of the great classics of silent comedy.
You know, we can show a lot of Buster Keaton and a lot of Charlie Chaplin and throw some Edward.
Harold Lloyd.
Yeah,
that's so great.
And so once here we do it, we call it Friday Fool Night.
And that is a Gold Rushes Friday Fool Night.
I love it.
Conrad will be interested to know that your boy Adam Sandler has taken tons of gags from Harold Lloyd.
So it's all derivative, right, Phil?
I mean, we
all are
influenced by our influences, and that's a pretty good guy to be influenced by.
Let me ask you this, like, with so many older theaters, is the time community haunted, or are there ghost stories?
So I'm there a
lot,
and I have not ever felt any presence.
That said, if you would like to write us a check and come find ghosts, please do.
many have and more will.
I'm told by the medium that books a show with us once in a while
that
there's a ghost in the ladies' bathroom.
There's a spirit in the upper projection room that's something about
sexes.
And then there's a spirit behind the screen.
They don't remember what that spirit's job is.
We had another ghost hunting group come in and tell us that there was a man dressed in a full cowboy garb in
like,
you know, a seat, I don't know, let's say 3A.
And by the way, I'll say that to say, for almost every show we do, including the free ones, you can reserve a special spot.
Oh, nice.
Let me ask you this, was the ghost... Okay, well, I hope you don't, unless it's like your thing.
I mean, if you want to see one, I hope you have the pleasure, but I don't think I would want to see one either.
Or sit in a seat where a ghost was rumored to have sat and ate popcorn.
So, all right, so...
You've got the gold rush coming up on June 27th, and then you've got some other stuff.
A lot of it's free.
It's a great thing for the community.
Did it take you a while to get tied in with the community before you knew what they would respond to, like with you being the one who brings in all the events?
Well, so if it's a live event, we book a little bit of comedy with a group out at Indianapolis,
Mad
Hatter.
And a lot of it through Lyle, who runs Fox Valley Comedy.
You might have spoke to him or maybe I'll put you in touch with him.
And Lyle is just a big comedy fan who works in the Fox Valley.
And so if it's a live event or it's like Dan or we've got a couple of homeschool groups that do a play and they'll say, come, we want to do a play.
Let's pick up right there.
Phil, let's pick up right there.
We got to do a real quick break.
We'll come back with a few minutes with Phil Krausey coming up next.
Welcome back to Nightlight.
I am Pete Chihuahua, and this is a mea culpa to Chris on the stream.
Here's my issue.
I've referred to Chris as a female at times, and Chris is unmistakably male.
And Chris even corrected me and said, he says, my texts are very masculine.
Here's the issue.
My wife had a friend in college named Chris, Elsing.
If you're listening, Chris Elsing, hello.
She spelled her name the same way you spell it, Chris.
So I think I immediately go, but now I know we've had this back and forth a couple of times, so I won't forget again.
Thank you for being part of the show and texting from Sun Prairie, but also with a 773.
So, Chris is working through some issues there with his Chicago area code and his Madison area residency.
Chris said, you always call me her Star-Lord and Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Yes, of course, I should have known that.
even though I've only seen it once years ago.
Thanks for sticking with me, Chris, despite my name miscalculations.
All right, we have a few more minutes here with our current guest, Phil Krause, who is the president of the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh.
They do such cool things there.
A lot of them are free.
Check out this great theater and support it right there in Oshkosh.
It's been around forever.
And Phil, what are you most looking forward to?
What's your favorite event you have coming up?
I should probably take that to say, on September 20th, we've got the Rocky Horror Picture
Show
that could sell out.
So we'll probably sell over 400 tickets for that.
We don't have a cast for that.
You might go see it in Milwaukee or Madison.
And then there's a, there's a Brad and a...
Janet and, you know, Dr. Frankenferter and the whole crew on the stage or on the floor doing the dances and everything.
We do have, we do have dumb games, fasting contest.
You know, we let you throw the toast and the cards and the confetti and the rice and the whole deal.
Don't bring anything that starts on fire and don't bring anything wet.
That's probably one of my favorite events, although the movie itself is only
okay.
Yeah, I honestly have never seen it all the way through.
My daughter was in the stage production of it about a year or two ago, and it is a spectacle, no doubt.
I would imagine there's a lot to clean up for the cleaning crew after that.
So we do that on a Saturday night,
and it goes from...
It goes from, you know, seven or eight till pretty late with all of the shenanigans beforehand.
You know, it might make people do a great bluff.
You guys all know what that is, of course.
But, and then the cleanup, we usually start the next morning.
And usually, well, there's a crew that starts at like
you know, seven or eight and there's a crew that starts at noon, but usually we're done before dinner.
Oh my gosh.
But yeah, that's, uh, that's, uh, leaf blowers and snow shovels full of, uh, rice and confetti and cards and bells and, and whatnot.
That's excellent.
Phil, uh,
Thank you for your time tonight.
I'm excited to have you back on and talk more about what's going on at this really cool theater, folks.
If you have not checked out the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh, please do so and support this independent theater, which is so great.
I have one more question for you, Phil.
When you're not volunteering at the Time Community Theater and not acting out your duties as El Presidente, what are you watching?
Are you binge watching anything on TV that you could recommend or have you seen a good movie lately?
Um, I mean just done with, uh, I'm just done watching through, um, the day of the jackal, the series on, uh, on peacock.
I have
about a half of a series
of
that.
That's pretty intense show.
If you like that sort of thing.
Um,
I liked
it.
I just watched, uh, I just watched hot buzz for the millions time.
Oh,
that's my suggestion for a great couple.
If that's a question, uh, Nicholas Angel and.
and Danny Buttermann.
And yeah, that's what I, those are my recommendations.
Great suggestions.
And I'll say just quick, the time is all volunteer running cash only when you get
there.
Oh, that's good to know.
Okay.
So come with a serious bankroll and buy the popcorn in the
concessions.
10 bucks gets you a long way.
Fantastic.
Phil,
thanks so
much.
Let's take it in a beer and a popcorn.
There you go.
Great meeting you, buddy.
We'll do it again.
All right.
Good to talk to you.
Let me know.
You too.
Thanks, Phil.
All right.
That's Phil Krause.
Check out the Time Community Theater.
And Oshkosh, I'd also like to thank my guest, Sherry Stoka.
Always fun to talk nutrition and diet with Sherry.
And I, Conrad, how do you feel about that?
You eat pretty well.
You stay away from fast food, although you do dip into a quick trip quite a bit for the chicken sandwich, I know.
Well, I try to stay away from quick trip now, but there's
60th anniversary was today.
Yeah, they got it's actually now an official
day In Wisconsin quick trip day.
Yes.
Wow.
We live in a state that celebrates a gas station
That that's a place.
I want to be
They did so much more than a gas station and the problem is with quick trip.
I love their like they have these cheesy potato puffs
that are dynamite.
Their egg rolls aren't bad.
The best egg roll I've ever gotten at gas station for sure.
But I don't always know what they're going to have when I go in.
And I don't just eat anything they put out there.
You
know what?
I will draw the line.
I saw that they serve sushi there.
Yeah, I've seen that too.
I'm not doing gas station sushi.
Here's what's really sinful on my part.
One night I had a taste for sushi.
We can also get it across the bridge of Menominee at the grocery store.
They have really good sushi.
I did see that once in Quick Trip and I bought it and I got it home and my daughter said, you're gonna eat sushi from a gas station.
And I
took the wrapper off and I looked at it and I didn't eat it and it went to waste.
And I feel terrible about that.
Like I didn't even taste it.
I just panicked.
I would not.
even if I bought that, like you did, I still think I would have thrown it out too.
Or give it to the
dog.
We agree on that.
And Conrad, there is no bigger fan of Quick Trip than Conrad Krieger.
So happy 60th birthday, Quick Trip.
You are an institution here in Wisconsin.
Thank you for all your texts and calls, folks, as fun, or as always, tons of fun.
We'll be back tomorrow night to do it all over again on behalf of the lovable producer.
Conrad, I'm Pete Schwabba saying good night, Wisconsin.
I'll see you at your best friend's house.
