Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach · Fri Aug 8, 2025
You're listening to Civic Media.
You can tune into any of our live shows on any radio station across the state with the Civic Media app.
Find us in your phone's app store and listen anytime,
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to Night Light, a Friday night version.
You made it, folks.
The week is over, more or less.
Maybe you're still working, but either way, it is upon us.
And thus, our Friday night version of Night Light is here as well.
And we got a fun show for you tonight.
Hope you had a great day, whatever you decided to do today, even if you took the day off.
or worked even harder than you usually do.
I know nightlight listeners are probably the hardest working people there are, even though they're okay with sitting in the couch and being a couch potato and watching some colored TV.
There's nothing wrong with that either.
So happy Friday everybody and let's do this right because after tonight, no nightlight for two days.
I will sit around waiting for Monday.
You all will be doing yard work, going to the beach, whatever, but
We'll get through the weekend one way or the other.
Great show tonight.
Another Civic Media All-Star show.
We talk about sports occasionally on nightlight.
I would say probably once a week or a couple times.
We address sports.
Sports is entertainment.
But there's too much going on in Wisconsin right now regarding sports, not to address what is happening.
The Brewers are the hottest team in baseball.
They have the best record in baseball.
And we have to talk about it.
Mike Clemens is gonna be here at 635 to help us do just that.
We'll talk about the Packer training camp.
Conrad was there yesterday.
Did you go today too?
You burnt out yesterday?
Yeah.
All right, that's the voice of Conrad Krieger.
He is working the board tonight, as per usual.
Mike will be here at 6.35.
We'll talk Brewers, Packers, and he's got some Badgers news.
So we're going to cover everything tonight with Mike, everything we possibly can.
Mike is always up on, you know, whatever documentaries there are too.
He's always, he's quite a savvy TV watcher.
So we'll find out what Mike, what Mike can recommend tonight as well.
And then it is Friday, ladies and gentlemen, that means it's a bar band Friday night.
Terry Barr will be here, our civic media music guru, our Wisconsin music expert, if you will, will bring us new music and sparkling conversation like she always does.
Terry also is the co-host of Max Inc Radio on WMDX.
So if you're in the Madison area, tune into Max Inc Radio Saturday nights from six to 9 p.m.
And Terry and Rocker do a great job there.
Terry will be here with us though at 7.35.
Like she always is.
And she's got a couple of, wait, it's just one artist tonight, I think, right?
That is correct.
That is correct.
So we got two songs, one artist, and that will be fun.
As usual, so we got the Civic Media All Stars.
Mike Clemens, Terry Barr, got a great question.
Lots to talk about.
A couple of things involving James Cameron, which I found interesting.
I found an Arnold Schwarzenegger clip where he's talking about Cameron.
Cameron kind of not bullying him but telling him to say the line the way he wanted him to say it.
That's a fun story and it's Arnold Schwarzenegger telling Rich Eisen this story.
So we'll probably get to that at the top of hour number two or act two if you will and and I have another story about James Cameron Matthew McConaughey was also was almost cast in the film Titanic.
So we'll tell those stories at the top of the second hour and
Great question tonight, too.
This is kind of a callback to what we were talking about the other night.
Yeah.
Because you found this article about a Heinz ketchup and fruit smoothie.
it?
Yeah, not really.
Not even if you like ketchup.
I'm sure they did something for it.
I'm sure they test marketed the heck out of it and people finally weighed in.
But I feel like or approved it, but I feel like it's.
Just not appealing sounding.
Like even if it tastes good, and maybe people will taste it out of curiosity, but why would you do that?
Why do you need ketchup in a smoothie?
I totally agree with that, but it doesn't have to involve Heinz ketchup in my smoothie.
A burger?
Why not just chop up a burger in there and put it, drink your burger?
with Heinz ketchup.
some cheese.
With strawberries.
But ladies and gentlemen, that does bring us to our question of the night.
Let's talk about the question.
Okay, question.
Question.
Question.
Pregunta.
Question.
Question.
Okay, I have a question.
Questions.
This question.
Domanda.
Question.
Question.
Questions.
What is an even more disgusting smoothie than the new Heinz ketchup and fruit smoothie?
Put on your thinking caps people and tell me a gross smoothie name With terrible ingredients if you want you can put anything you want in there I have a brother who like basically empties the fridge and puts it all in a smoothie not to waste food and drinks it People put anything in a smoothie peanut butter avocado stuff you'd normally wouldn't think would be good in a smoothie
Like kale is one thing I would put kale in a smoothie because it's so healthy and you can't really taste it but ketchup I mean Even avocado I guess it's more for texture if you put enough fruit in there you probably wouldn't taste the avocado and I love avocado The idea of it being blended doesn't really do much for me or peanut butter for that matter But let us know what is an even more disgusting smoothie than the new Heinz ketchup and fruit smoothie the worst one I could come up with
You still have the picture of that blob fish Yes, you can see if you can go how about a blob fish smoothie?
Oh blend that sucker and put it in a smoothie.
Yeah, that's a fish that gets no action.
I don't care what kind of game a blob fish has he is getting or she is getting no action They're just too ugly.
That is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
have a major.
Self-pleasure.
They would have to.
I don't know, and I'm not gonna judge him for that.
That's fine.
Gotta do what you gotta do, but I would say probably anything.
I can't see, even though we had Barry Levinson on last week, who was the curator of the National Mustard Museum.
We had him on just before National Mustard Day.
I think he mentioned a couple smoothies with mustard.
like smells that would be good.
Yeah, but what is this?
You put on the social media responses Arby's new cheese steak.
know if you can see in a
Blended something up and poured it between those two buns.
Yeah, it does not look good
you got called out at it on social media to Dan Dan Wheeler Danny wheels I Don't have to wet my lips to say that name Danny wheels.
That's a great name.
Yeah, Daniel Wheeler should Dan think about it Danny wheels And I said that about my lips because Daniel's the one that said you have to wet your lips before you say the last name Schwab it to get it right Daniel says
Conrad Krieger, oh lord, that looks like a lamprey eel with necrosis.
I don't even know what that means, but it sounds awful.
Yeah, maybe this is a bad question.
Our pal, Christy Barlamen.
Hi, Christy.
She says, Peach Shwaba birthday cake smoothie.
I don't want to be blended, I'll be honest.
Christy and I have the same birthday.
I think that's what she's getting.
And I have ripped on birthday cake flavor.
I think it's very blah.
I don't like it in ice cream.
I don't like it in actual birthday cake.
And I've seen that birthday cake flavored birthday cake.
You don't have to do that.
We know it's a birthday cake.
Thank you, Christie.
Good to hear from you.
Paula Krieger just made a gross emoji face like puke.
nah, no thanks.
Let us know what you think, folks.
8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2-8-5-5-7-5.
Civic, that is our nightlight question of the night.
What is an even more disgusting smoothie than the new Heinz ketchup and fruit smoothie?
I'm gonna say the blob fish.
Let's just say anything with fish in a smoothie cannot taste good.
That's terrible.
And do we have that clip?
Let's play the Bart.
This is the Simpsons.
You know, in a day where they have hot dog water, even though that was a hoax, all these bad smoothies coming out.
The Simpsons were way ahead of the game like they usually are when it comes to parody.
And here's Bart Simpson watching TV and a commercial he's seeing.
Finally,
in a soft drink.
Staky.
They just nail it.
And they were nailing it decades before anybody else was.
Like the onion.
That's just great stuff.
But let us know.
We'll read your text on the radio.
We've got a lot of fun stuff to get to tonight, folks.
Eddie Murphy.
I love Eddie Murphy.
Eddie Murphy says, he's willing to like, he sat down recently with Complex 360, which I guess is a podcast, and he was talking about all of his bad movies.
So we'll talk about that a little bit now.
We're number two too.
He said, and this is what I love about Eddie Murphy.
Like he admitted he's made bad movies.
And he pointed to, what was the one with the, oh, Pluto Nash, the adventures of Pluto Nash.
The Holy Man.
And when they asked him about Norbit, which got crucified by critics, Eddie Murphy plays different characters in it.
He held his ground.
He said, no, no, no, I like Norbit.
I wrote it with my brother, Charlie.
I'm standing by Norbit.
That movie sucks.
I just like his honesty.
And yeah, Norbit, I don't think I saw more than five minutes of it.
And I saw it kind of accidentally.
But he had a tough go between 2000 and 2010, where he made some bombs.
Norbit got a 9% on Rotten Tomato.
That's
that's
Yeah, there's shooting big there.
Let me see what the adventures of Pluto Nash got All right, so this this one I think got even pay I could be wrong, but Yes, six per six percent You've got Eddie Murphy one of the most talented guys in Hollywood
And the movie got a 20% from audiences.
So audiences hated Eddie Murphy in this.
But you know what?
What is he going to do?
He calls it out.
He calls it how he sees it.
He's very honest.
He's had enough big hits where he doesn't have to feel insecure about anything.
I think that was kind of cool.
But we'll talk about maybe some more Eddie Murphy films a little later in the show as
Oh, that's the one you were talking about.
Okay, so let's, before we get to that though, tell me what you thought of last night we had Craig Benzing on the show.
Craig goes by the handle Wheezy Waiter on YouTube.
He's got like over a million, well over a million subscribers.
He's also a director now.
He made a film called No Packers, No Life.
Fun movie about the Packers.
We'll keep you posted on when that comes out.
He should have news on that soon.
But he was a great guest last night.
We had a great time talking to Craig.
His popcorn pick of the week was Logan Lucky.
And I said I was gonna go home and watch it last night I ended up having to do more work for the show today and get all the stuff out the information out You actually watched it though.
Tell us give us a thumbnail review.
It's It's a heist that like you wouldn't think would be a heist like it has actual thinking in it not just oh Let's go rob a bank or something like that.
It's like actually in depth.
They have a huge plan
and they have to go into prison to get Daniel Craig's character out
so
Oh, right.
I did read that.
That sounds cool.
Okay.
though.
I'm okay with that.
We talked about this recently.
I don't like action comedy.
I don't think it's that funny and I don't think the action is that great.
It usually ends up being really stupid or like a movie like with the rock in it.
All of the rocks movies.
Give me one of the other comedy or, but Craig said that was one of his favorite genres.
So I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and I can't wait to see that film.
We got to read a steady eddy text countered when we come back to We Miss Last Night.
We'll do that when we come back after this very short break and we'll read the rest of your texts as well.

Hope you're having a great day.
We got a lot going on here tonight at Nightlight with Peach Waba.
Civic Media All-Stars are on their way.
They're not coming like in a van or anything, Conrad.
They won't be here in person.
But Mike Clemens is probably in Green Bay, right?
All right.
Bless you.
I was wondering, it seemed like kind of an abrupt answer.
Yeah, I had sneeze.
So my climbers will be here at 635, folks.
We're going to talk about your Red Hot Milwaukee Brewers.
They have taken over.
They rudely took first place from my Cubs.
And now what are they up for?
Four games.
And I said this two weeks ago.
I said, don't get too excited, Conrad.
The Brewers cannot stay that hot.
this long and here we are two weeks later and they are still crushing it.
They're the
Yeah.
No, they're on fire.
And you know what?
Maybe they can't keep it going.
I don't know.
But we'll talk to Mike about that.
Mike will have all the answers, as he so often does.
And Terry Barr comes along at 735 with new music, a fun chat and her outstanding personality as always.
We love having Terry on every Friday for our barbie on Friday nights.
Our question of the night,
Heinz ketchup has a new smoothie.
Heinz ketchup mixed with fruit.
It's supposed to be delicious, according to Heinz ketchup.
I think it sounds gross.
That's our question.
What is it even more disgusting smoothie than the new Heinz ketchup and fruit smoothie?
I said the blob fish smoothie.
Conrad said the Arby's new cheesesteak smoothie.
So our question last night.
Was the sea creature one right?
That's why you're talking about bomb fishes.
What is the scariest sea creature?
mythical or real and we had pre-recorded content playing at 735 when our pal steady Eddie Texted us as he saw often does right around that time Steady Eddie says Pete sharks are scary.
They never sleep and are always looking for a meal Pete if you want to get a million subscribe
Pete, if you want to get a million subscribers to Nightlight, you should literally have Conrad bench press you live on the radio.
It would go viral.
You should probably get a couple of spotters for Conrad just in case.
First of all, Conrad said he could bench 275.
I may or may not believe that, but I don't weigh that much.
I will say that.
He signs it steady, Eddie.
And then there is a post script Conrad.
You remember what that
yeah.
Yeah, PS.
Dash BS.
I also once shaved my chest for charity.
She said she liked it as did Chastity and Gertrude.
Sounds like Steady Eddie's been spending a little time down at the Gentleman's Club with his shaved chest.
Thank you Steady Eddie.
Sorry we missed you last night, buddy.
Let's go to the text line here.
We've got Jim from Appleton who says, and Chovies and Beats.
How's that for a delicious combo?
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
Not as bad as the blob fish, but that does sound you know what actually take that back beats are pretty good, and they're super food.
They're great for you I Don't know about the anchovies, but I think beats I think you could pull that off and a smoothie Jim, but thank you for the text Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids says Sidney Sweeney's sensual sweat smoothie
Well they sold out a soap pretty quickly
I guess the jeans thing turned out to be like a hoax or whatever, you read that?
Yeah, I don't, I
keep informed
whole thing.
That was like a, a right wing political guy started that saying she, I don't know.
I'm, I would like Sidney Sweeney to remain a political.
Yeah.
Just my own taste, but Tyler, that's good.
You should pitch that over there at Sweeney Enterprises.
Sidney Sweeney's sensual sweat smoothie.
Tyler also, oh, he's in it twice.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Chris, er, now I know Chris's first name.
How are we saying that last name?
Is it herb?
Okay.
We don't have to say the last name actually.
Chris from Sun Prairie says, Pete, stop.
Fish smoothie really just ate.
It has to be the worst.
I know Chris, that's the question buddy.
What's the worst smoothie?
What's a worse smoothie than a ketchup and fruit smoothie?
John Murray from Madison says, nothing sounds worse than a smoothie with coconut, pina colada flavor, just can't go there.
It's a gagger.
Wow, that's interesting.
I love it.
He'd get a lot of pushback on that.
Yeah.
Sounds delicious to me too.
Yeah.
Sorry, John.
John, we can't agree on everything.
John says, saw Eddie Murphy raw at Rosemont Horizon, best show ever.
I was too young.
I remember that album and listening to it and going, I don't think I'm supposed to be hearing this.
But that was a great album totally I think that was his second album if I'm not mistaken But he was already kind of on the map, but that was like a huge album everybody had that AJ from the 608 says good evening Pete and Conrad pickled pig feet for sure I think we I think we have a winner.
I think that's worse than the that could be worse than the blob You know the bobfish is ugly, but it could taste great Yeah, I don't the texture looks gross the look on the face is horrible, but maybe it tastes better than
Pickled big feet.
So far, AJ, you're our winner.
Michael Steele from Tosa, SNL.
Oh, the bass, nice pull.
Michael, he's referencing the Super Bass-O-Matic 76, a Dan Aykroyd skit from the original Not Ready for Primetime players.
The Super Bass-O-Matic 76.
Just take a bass, put it in the blender, and he blended it up.
That's beautiful.
I guess I feel a little less original now with my blob smoothie.
Tyler from Wisconsin Rapid says, with strawberries.
Yes, that is the key.
Steve from Florida Conrad's dad says, I love sauerkraut, but not in a smoothie.
It might not taste so good.
Maybe an asparagus smoothie to clean out your urinary system.
I read a historical article that asparagus, asparagus.
Oh, your mom sent a text and it cut off your dad's.
I read a historical article that Asparagus inspired the bright color of yellow, not the sun.
What do you make of that, Conrad?
What's your dad,
happens when you despair?
I do.
And sometimes I forget, and I'm like, what is that?
Oh, yeah, I despair.
We will get to the rest of your texts.
When we come back folks, Civic Media Sports Authority, Mike Clemens is gonna be here to talk about your Red Hop Milwaukee Brewers.
We'll do some Packer Talk, maybe some Badgers.
We'll ask Mike how much he makes a year or two, that'll be fun.
It's Peach Wabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio
Beautiful Friday night here in the state of Wisconsin.
Ladies and gentlemen, Wisconsin, I equate Wisconsin with summer.
And this is a gorgeous, if not a bit steamy Friday night, but I will take this over what we're going to be dealing with in the winter.
So enjoy the summer, folks.
Enjoy nightlight.
We have to go away for the weekend.
We will be back Monday, but right now before we sign off for the week, we've got a lot of show coming up here.
We've got the Civic Media All-Stars, Civic Media Sports Authority, and our pal, Mike Clemens, joins us now.
Hey, buddy.
Hi, Pete.
How are you doing?
Better now.
How are you?
Yeah, it's a little toasty.
It's like 89 degrees.
It feels like 97.
Dewpoint is up there.
But, you know, hydrate before the game.
Bring a fan.
And I think sure should be optional.
You know what I'm saying?
I totally agree with you, Mike.
And very good use of the word dewpoint.
I haven't ever really considered the dewpoint when I've gone outside on a hot day.
But maybe I should.
Right, right.
It's toasty, but you know, uh, the brewers are have won nine or the last 10 games.
They just come back from back to back sweeps on the road and they're playing a good met theme, a met theme of the over $300 million payroll that has lost eight other last 10 games.
So the brewers might be able to catch these guys at the right time.
And at least if they could win this series, just continue to distance themselves from the cubs.
They're four games ahead of the cubs going into this game tonight.
I know I was telling Conrad that's so rude how the Brewers just wrangled first place away from my Cubs, but they are on fire and I said they couldn't keep this up, but they are Mike.
How are they doing it?
I mean, I know they have great pitching, but do they hit for average or is it the manager?
Pat Murphy's a great manager.
How are they doing this?
I think there's like three things.
I mean, Freddie Peralta is your ace and he's consistent.
Brandon Woodruff comes back two years later.
He's 3-0.
I mean, I'm looking at the screen over here.
ERA of 2.22.
And he's pitching tonight.
He's pitching tonight.
And then, you know, besides the Miz, Jacob Mizorowski, 103 miles an hour, is this a Quinn Priester, who's going to be like 25, I think, next month.
But that kid, you know, is like 6364.
He's just a big traditional right-handed pitcher.
and they've won 12 in a row whenever he's out there.
So when you've got that for just your first five, six, seven innings of the game, and then two or three pretty good relievers, and then Trevor McGill to close, that checks off the pitching thing.
They've been a good defensive team for the last couple of years, even though they lost William Domus, and then the bats, and then these nobodies, like Isaac Collins and Andrew Vaughn, who they traded away a disgruntled pitcher
to the crummy White Sox and the White Sox sent them a player that was in the minors batting like 187, you know, and one of our sales guys, Rich from, from our stations, uh, tweeted, he said, that guy's good.
He's been good in the past.
Well, he was right because it's whatever changes scenery.
Andrew Long's coming up with RBI doubles clutch home runs.
He's holding down first base.
You know, Reese Hoskins, you know, jammed his thumb about six weeks ago.
I don't, how do you take Andrew Vaughn out right now as productive as he's been?
So, and then tonight, we had a really good one-on-one with Pat Murphy back from the road trip.
And, you know, he, he says, listen, man, those Braves, there's just some serious players there.
They just can't seem to get it together like the Dodgers right now.
So we're taking advantage of this.
And he said, you know,
We've got a bunch of hungry guys.
We
got Caleb Durbin and Isaac Collins and these guys, they just figured they're one step away from getting sent back down when trio comes back up or whatever.
So they're playing for their lives.
And when they've got that hunger, they put in that extra effort.
There's more of that focus.
They play like a playoff level with every pitch, every ad bet and that's going on.
And the other things that Murph knows,
He's really becoming popular because of this team is is pulling this off must be part of the manager, right?
And he said, you know, I'm gonna make an effort though.
I gotta dial it back I gotta let these players be in the spotlight I get because I don't want to lose the team now like oh there goes Murph with all the credit, right?
So he needs to sort of watch that and I said yeah, but isn't it nice then when we keep talking about Collins and Andrew Vaughn and Sal Freelick
That you've got a quiet veteran like yellow should just comes in does his job and doesn't mind that the kids have got the spotlight and goes That's an excellent point.
He said
what I got send a yelling with it's not complaining There's no ego there.
He's getting paid and he's just you know, he's hitting home runs and trying around the bases So when you got all those things working, that's a balanced team and a hard baseball team to beat right now
Boy, that's a great point, Mike.
And they've got, and even what I said, even if the Brewers can't keep this pace, if they get a big enough lead, like they're four games ahead of the Cubs in almost no time, if they go up a few more games, they're going to be hard to knock off with as much time that's left in the season, right?
And one coaching point, like to a kid like Isaac Collins, Murphy says, do not take the outside pitch.
Don't be reaching for pitches.
Don't don't think oh wow here's a slow change up.
Oh, I'll go chase it right don't Be disciplined make them put the ball over the plate Make it go to full count make a pitch to you 10 15 pitches Where are these guys out and then make hard contact?
You know run the bases be ready to steal the bases You're young you got the speed and that's what they do there and as he calls them the woodpeckers They just keep chipping away at you for nine innings
And the next thing you know, you know, it's it's 10-3 and you're going into the ninth inning
Man, and I wouldn't say they have like the hardest schedule coming up either over the next few weeks They've got the Cubs five games on the road Cubs aren't playing that great either.
I mean, I don't see any let up in sight, but let me ask you this Mike We all like Pat Murphy.
He's such a great interview and a really good manager Murphy or counsel What do you who do you
pick?
I I'm taking Pat right now because Craig is really smart and very analytical But like I said a couple weeks ago and it seems to becoming more true every day Bob Uker was the class clown that kept the place loose, right?
Yeah The guy doing that now is the manager.
Oh, it's interesting So the man your boss comes in and keeps a light but at the same time says hey, you screw up You may not be in the lineup tomorrow night.
So
It's almost better that that focus now is on the manager and not the announcer, not the legendary comedian.
You know, the class con is gone and now you've got to answer to the teacher.
Very interesting, too.
What you say is right about Pat Murphy.
He's great for a quote.
He's a funny guy, but we saw him walking to the mound.
I was watching a game.
I think they were probably playing the Cubs.
And it looked like the Cubs were making a run and he had to go pull the pitcher and you could read his lips.
You're like, this guy's
really serious
too.
He's not just all about the
laughs,
right?
It's salty.
It's salty.
Trust me.
My guest is
Mike Clemens.
He's our Civic Media Sports Authority.
We're talking about the Red Hot Brewers and we only have Mike for a few more minutes.
Mike, should we pivot to the Packers?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Packers have got their first pre-season game tomorrow night.
You know and and there's always this controversy.
Do you play your veterans or not?
Yeah,
you know and in years past Matt LaFleur has done what his mentor Sean McVeigh the head coach of the Rams has done and You know, you got 30 starting players on the sidelines.
They don't touch the field So you don't end up like Jordy Nelson 10 years ago who blew out an ACL and you know kind of wreck his career in a meaningless game in the preseason in Pittsburgh, but yesterday yesterday LaFleur said, you know
I got a new study here in my hand.
And it says from the NFL, the teams that play their players, at least in the first game or second game of the preseason, the injury rate goes down to the month of September because they're mentally better adjusted to the speed of the game.
Guys flying around, arms and legs flying and all that.
Because even though if you've been playing this game since you were a kid, those first couple of quarters, maybe first couple of games,
It, it takes a while for the game for everybody to slow down and, and that's when you make mistakes or, you know, you make an awkward step or something like that.
And you get tangled up in, you know, you have to adjust to the speed of the game and the physicality.
So, you know, now if he's got 30 guys on the sidelines tomorrow night, including Jordan Love, you know, I won't be surprised.
It'll be just another dog and pony show, but we might be more inclined to follow that study.
That's interesting.
I'm sure the fans would love to but I think they trust the floor But we all want to see the guys play, you know what I mean?
You understand why they sit them out, but yeah, even preseason
and I want you fans to be able to see what I'm seeing in camp every day and that's number 22 Matthew Golden the wide receiver they took with the number one pick I'm you know get that kid four or five passes and watch his speed watch how great he catches the football And just how advanced he is that?
The thing I'm watching though for is backup running back because after Josh Jacobs, you know, the two guys on the depth chart that they were hoping are currently injured.
I don't know if they're going to be able to play.
So these, uh, the second and third string running backs tomorrow night, look for those guys, look for number 23 kid that says parents originally from Nigeria.
Um, and his name is Israel.
Izzy is his first name.
Watch for that kid and see if he can take off, uh, like maybe in the second half.
and be a candidate to be that third running bag.
Oh, interesting.
Mike, if you had to, what do you think of the Vikings right now?
They seem like they're a little, after a good year last year, are they going to compete, do you think, in the North?
They've got a good defense.
Yeah.
It's, you know, they're thrown in JJ McCarthy, and they moved on from Sam Darnold last year, who got him to the playoffs.
But what I do know is this, Kevin O'Connell, their head coach, took another step up, and that dude's going to be
difficult to deal with.
So, you know, if J.J.
McCarthy can get the ball to Justin Jefferson, and Aaron Jones still looks great up there.
Yeah, you know, the Packers, that's the challenge.
The Packers are no longer, you know, the kings of the NSE North.
They were one in five last year, and they're now looking at third or fourth place.
And so that's going to be Matt Maddell's first challenge this season.
That's interesting.
And what do you think about Detroit?
I mean talk about dealing with changes from Frank Ragnar losing your coordinators I mean we have no idea what to expect from Detroit either do we?
No, we don't and you know, they've played long for the last couple of years to they might be kind of banged up They had a horrible game the other night with five turnovers.
It's just the preseason, right?
It's just a Hall of Fame game But you know, don't don't count out Dan Campbell.
He's a lot smarter than we thought he was
Mike, before the show, Conrad and I were talking and he told me about Bo Melton switching from wide receiver to cornerback for the Packers.
Have you seen him during camp?
How does he look?
Yeah, we thought that that could be the kiss of death.
Well, there's no way you're going to make wide receiver.
We're too deep at that position now with the guys we drafted.
You know something?
Then all of a sudden Nate Hobbs jacked up his knee and torn meniscus had to have surgery.
He's going to miss the rest of the camp.
And all of a sudden, there's Bo Melton as the number two corner, or number three corner in rotation.
So he's got a shot at making the team.
And the other thing is talking to the coaches, if not just at the end of the depth chart, the end of the line of defensive backs, they love this guy as a player so much, they'll find spots for him on special teams too.
So I count Bo Melton into the top 53.
We have about a minute left, Mike.
You also mentioned the Badgers when we were emailing earlier.
A free, or not a free, but the publicers can look at them or watch them tomorrow at Platfield as they
wrap up
camp.
Yeah, Luke Fickle has taken his team to UW-Platfield to get away from campus.
It's a little bonding.
That two weeks has now passed.
The last practice is open to the public.
The other ones have been closed.
So if you're in the Platfield area tomorrow night, seven o'clock, Badgers last practice of the UW-Platfield campus,
five bucks for adults, three for kids 12 and under, and the proceeds go to the Platteville Athletics Department.
I was about to make a joke, like I don't even think it should be five bucks after the last two years, but that is a great cause.
So
that's fantastic.
Hey, you five dollars.
Send me some cab fare here.
Mike, I also
want to let you know we
got a shower curtain up here now, buddy, at WGBW.
So if you ever need a place to crash, you can actually shower responsibly.
Fantastic.
That's fantastic.
Thank you.
As
long as there's soap on a rope, too.
We'll set you up.
We got a guy.
Hey, you're the best, Mike.
Thanks so much.
Have a great night out there at the old ballpark.
Thank you, Peter.
All right.
That's Mike Clemens, Civic Media Sports Authority.
When we come back, we're going to talk.
I got our great Richard Pryor clip.
You're going to love it, folks.
It's Peach Wabba in
Nightlight.
You're listening to Civic Media.

Great to have you with me tonight folks.
That was the great Mike Clemens.
We just spoke with about the Brewers and the Packers and the Badgers and I thought he was in Green Bay, but yeah, the the Brewers got a lot going on too.
So yep, he's back home tonight in Milwaukee.
Terry Barr will be here at 735 tonight folks with new music and great conversation in keeping with the civic media tradition.
Isn't that our mission?
That's one of our our phrases, right?
New music, not new music, but great conversation.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah
Because we like to converse.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
All right, Conrad Krieger working the board tonight.
Terry Barr will be here at 7.35.
Our question of the night is, what is an even more disgusting smoothie than the new Heinz ketchup and fruit smoothie?
So far, our winner has to be the pickled, what was that, one of the pig's feet?
The pickled pig's feet.
Oh, that just sounds so awful.
And it was AJ.
from Madison, from the 608 Pickle Pig Feed, for sure.
And so far, she is the front runner, leaps and bounds.
So let us know what you're.
Just give us a disgusting smoothie flavor, folks.
You could have fun with this.
I say the blob fish smoothie because we did a deep, deep sea creature thing last night in our question.
And I think any fish in a smoothie would be horrible.
And one of our textures tonight mentioned the super bassomatic 76 from Saturday Night Live in the 70s.
So there you go.
That was kind of a, it was a blended bass was what Dan Aykroyd was making.
Let's do this.
Okay.
So let's read some text Conrad.
We don't need, you know, we can do whatever we want here.
Right?
I know you're kind of following my lead.
Frank from the 414 in Dellafield says, oops, he just gave us his email.
Did we miss the text from Frank there?
I
to him.
He obviously wants us to contact him.
Frank, we'll be in touch.
Paula Krieger, Conrad's mom, says in the series, young Sheldon, the grandma blends pork chops, mashed potatoes, and gravy because he refuses to eat it after choking on a piece of meat the day before.
I would think that would look pretty gross.
it.
You know.
That probably looks worse than it tastes.
I'm sure it doesn't taste good the texture and the consistency would be horrible
You know in how I met your mother there's one episode where Marshall goes and he's training for a marathon Mm-hmm And he's like well I need to be on the run all times so he instead of making breakfast he goes all right put a bagel in there oh Yuck get some eggs in there some bacon and then some I Think sour tribes.
I think that's what it is that uh
you put on baggles and he drinks it.
He's like, I gotta be fast.
He drinks it, starts running out the door and immediately goes to the bathroom and pukes.
I heard a story yesterday.
My sister was telling me a story about one of her friends who was at a party in high school and she was in line waiting to go to the bathroom to puke and she couldn't make it and she went and she took a box where there were beer cans, beers that they put in the fridge.
She took the box, puked in the box,
went back and stood in line to empty the box in the toilet.
Got into the bathroom, was still drunk, and missed the toilet with the puke.
One of the funniest, oh, puke stories would be a fun segment to do one night.
people
Absolutely.
You got a good one?
All right, let's do that because I got a couple good ones too.
We'll do that next week.
That could be a really fun segment, I think.
Anna from Madison and the 608 says, Hi, Pete and Conrad.
I saw Eddie Murphy's Raw Tour at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison in September 1987.
That is insane.
When you reach as a stand-up comic who works clubs, when you're selling out the Dane County Coliseum, that is just insane.
That's insanity.
And that's the reason Jerry Seinfeld
He was like the biggest comic, I think, in the world, probably right about that time.
But Eddie Murphy was already on TV.
Seinfeld wasn't.
He was just a comedian.
And he was selling out theaters.
And that's why he could take his time before he got the show he absolutely wanted to do.
Great text, Dan.
Ross from Crawford County says, any one of the breakfast cereals, maybe especially Lucky Charms, the kids might like it.
Oh, that's a good one, though, right?
The the cereal or the fruity cereal protein or you know cuz I've had that it's fruity pebble protein shake You've had a fruity pebble protein shake.
I had a big big tub of it got like 30 servings out of it.
It was fantastic every time You had a big tub of it.
I'm not following like what
is like a
And
It's so good really bad so good
All right, well, that is your text, folks.
Ketchup, I don't know.
I guess the point of this question was to make the Heinz ketchup and fruit smoothie sound even better.
And, you know, some of these definitely are.
The pig's feet thing is disgusting.
What you just said, the fruity pebbles, I'm sure that doesn't taste horrible, but it can't be good.
good.
It is?
And I think the lucky charms would be okay too.
But I think the blob fish is pretty bad too.
All right, we are gonna do intermission in just a few minutes here.
It's just about a minute here, folks, but we've got a great second hour coming up.
Terry Barr is here at 7.35.
And I'm gonna tell you something after intermission in Act 2.
I got two fun James Cameron stories that involve Arnold Schwarzenegger and Matthew McConaughey.
We'll talk about that.
And I'm going to tell you what Eddie Murphy's worst movie is.
We thought 6% was low for, I think it was Pluto Nash.
He's got a goose egg.
Really?
He has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.
We will talk about that as well in the second hour.
Terry Barr will be here at 7.35 with some new tunes.
And I got a really fun, risky business clip that I've been sitting on all week.
But it's a fantastic clip and those of you who are old enough probably remember The classic scene in risky business where the they coined the term sometimes you just got to say And if you don't know how I'm supposed to finish that sentence You're just gonna have to stick around past intermission for act 2.
This is peach wabba in nightlight We're doing it here tonight folks.
