Eddie Murphy & Barr Band Friday Nite (Hour 2)

Broadcasting live statewide 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's had a paper route for 25 years but never collected, Pete Schwabba.

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 Night Light 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 going to 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?

I did not today.

How

come?

You burnt out yesterday?

Yeah, it's too hot, you know.

I literally burnt out because I got burnt.

But they're out there in pads, dude.

You're just watching.

Well, they're used to it, you know.

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.

Sounds

delicious,

doesn't 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?

You know, it's, you just gotta try new stuff, you know?

There's no limits to it.

I totally agree with that, but it doesn't have to involve Heinz ketchup in my smoothie.

What else would you rather have in it?

A burger?

Why not just chop up a burger in there and drink your burger?

with Heinz ketchup.

You get the mustard, the onions, the burger patty, the buns.

Put it all in there, man,

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, I can see if you can go how about a blob fish smoothie?

Oh blend that sucker and put it in a smoothie.

I just can't stop Looking at the lips on this thing and how wide the lips are

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

you think they self

They don't

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.

I

guess you could pull that off.

Okay, this is what I'm saying that cherry honey mustard that I was talking about that got into it's dynamite

like smells that would be good.

Yeah, but what is this?

You put on the social media responses Arby's new cheese steak.

I don't know if you can see

in a

smoothie I don't think All right, so if you look at the stream, it literally looks like a smoothie in a sandwich

Blended something up and poured it between those two buns.

It looks that's their new cheese steak, but it looks like a smoothie

Yeah, it does not look good

And that that's why I was like actually that that is gross that could

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 but 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, I don't know what that means either.

Yeah, maybe this is a bad question.

Our pal, Christy Barlamen.

Hi, Christy.

She says, Peach Shwaba birthday cake smoothie.

So does that include a birthday cake and you in it?

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, Christy.

Good to hear from you.

Paula Krieger just made a gross emoji face like puke.

Yeah.

Maybe she's just thinking about that tomato ketchup smoothie.

And it's like, 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, the great taste of Worcestershire sauce

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

I mean,

that's

I think that's too high for an orbit.

Yeah, they're 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

well.

I did just see a new film with this.

What one did you see?

It's called Pick Up, and it's a new prime movie.

Oh, that's Pick Up.

Yeah, it's Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, and Kiki Palmer.

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.

I did watch it last night.

Tell us give us a thumbnail review.

I think It the concept of the movie is phenomenal.

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

he can help him with the heist.

And the heist is under a NASCAR track.

Oh, right.

I did read that.

That sounds cool.

Yeah, so I really like the concept.

I don't think it was as funny.

Okay.

More action.

But there's some good comedic parts in it,

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's 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.

It's Peach Wabba in Night Light on the Civic Media Radio Network.

Welcome back!

Oh man, it is Friday, folks.

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?

Yeah, I'm not sure.

All right.

Bless you.

I was wondering.

It seemed like kind of an abrupt answer.

Yeah, I had a

sneeze.

So Mike Clemens 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?

They have four games.

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 first team in MLB to reach 71s this year.

Yeah.

No, they're on fire.

And you know what?

Maybe they can 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 of the night.

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.

Yeah, that would be gross.

It looks already like a smoothie, but if you blend it up even more, I think it'd be worse.

Smoothie on a bun.

So our question last night was the sea creature one, right?

That's

what you're talking about.

Plumfishes.

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 so 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 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 means?

And PS,

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 anchovies and beets.

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, I take that back.

Beets are pretty good and they're superfood.

They're great for you.

I don't know about the anchovies, but I think beets, I think you could pull that off in a smoothie, Jim.

But thank you for the text.

Tyler from Wisconsin Rapid says Sydney Sweeney's sensual

Sweat smoothie

actually that sounds pretty good

Well, they sold out of 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 didn't really keep informed on that That was

like a yeah, but

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 the Sweeney Enterprises.

City Sweeney's Sensual Sweat Smoothie.

Tyler also, oh, he's sent 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.

That's to be the worst.

I know, Chris, that's the question, buddy.

What's the worst 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,

I love pina colada.

See, 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 have a winner.

I think that's worse than the, that could be worse than the blob fish.

You know, the blob fish 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 a pickled pig 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 best somatic 76.

Just take a bath, 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?

Well, if you're dead, buddy, what, you know, you know what happens when you need asparagus.

I do.

And sometimes I forget.

And I'm like, what is that?

What's Oh, yeah.

We will get to the rest of your texts.

When we come back folks, Civic Media Sports Authority, Mike Clemens is going to be here to talk about your Red Hot 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

Network.

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 shirt 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 the, you know, uh, the brewers are have won nine or the last 10 games.

They just coming back from back to back sweeps on the road and they're playing a good medicine, a medicine with a 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, you know, 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 tweeted, he said, that guy's good.

He's been good in the past.

Well, he was right because whatever changes scenery, Andrew Vaughn'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, I,

We've got a bunch of hungry guys.

Yeah,

we got Caleb Durbin and you know Isaac Collins and these guys They just figure they're one step away from getting sent back down when trio comes back up for or whatever So they're playing for their lives and when they've got that hunger they put in that extra effort There's that more that focus they play like a like a playoff level with every pitch every at bat and that's going on and 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 what?

I'm going to make an effort though.

I got to dial it back.

I got to let these players be in the spotlight 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 that when we keep talking about Collins and Andrew Vaughn and Sal Freelick,

If 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 a God send that yelling.

He's not complaining.

There's no ego there.

He's getting paid and he's just, you know, he's hitting the 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 full 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 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.

Packers have got their first pre-season game tomorrow night.

And there's always this controversy.

Do you play your veterans or not?

Yeah.

And 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 know, it ended up like Jordy Nelson 10 years ago who blew out an ACL and kind of wrecked his career in a meaningless game in the preseason in Pittsburgh.

But yesterday, yesterday LaForce 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 in the month of September Because they're might they're mentally better adjusted to

the

speed of the game guys flying around arms and legs flying and all that because you know It's even though if you've been playing this games that you're a kid Let's first couple of quarters.

Maybe first couple of games 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 switch

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.

And I'm sure the fans would love to, well, I think they trust LaFleur, but we all want to see the guys play.

You know what I mean?

You understand why they set them out, but yeah, even preseason, it's.

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.

Get that kid four or five passes and watch his speed, watch how great he catches the football, and just how advanced he is.

The thing I'm watching Bill for is backup running back.

Because after Josh Jacobs, 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.

These, uh, the second and third string running backs tomorrow night.

Look for those guys.

Look for number 23 kid that those 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, you know, like maybe in the second half and be a candidate to be that third running back.

Oh, interesting.

Mike, how, if you had to, uh, 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's their head coach took another step up and that dude's gonna be Difficult to deal with so, you know if JJ 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 a metal first challenge this season.

That's interesting.

And what do you think about Detroit?

I mean, talk about dealing with changes from Frank Ragnow, 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 too.

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 would could be the kiss of death like well

There's no way you're going to make a wide receiver.

We're too deep a dead position now with the guys we drafted.

You know something?

Then all of a sudden Nate Hobbs jacks up his knee, torn meniscus, had to have surgery.

He's going to miss the rest of the camp.

And all of a sudden, there's Bo Meldis, the number two corner, or number three corner in rotation.

So he's got a shot at making the team.

He's got a shot.

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'd count Bull 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 publicas can look at them or watch them tomorrow at Plattville as they

wrap

up camp.

Yeah, Luke Fickle has taken his team to UW-Platteville 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 Platteville area tomorrow night, seven o'clock, Badger's last practice of the UW-Platteville 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.

Hey, you're a good

truck.

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 a great Richard Pryor clip.

You're going to love it, folks.

It's Peach Wabba in Nightlight.

Welcome back.

Hi, I'm Pete Schwabba.

This is Nightlight.

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 Brewers got a lot going on too.

So he's back home tonight in Milwaukee.

Terry Barrow will be here at 7.35 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 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 735.

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 bassimatic 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?

Yeah.

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 think that might have been for a different show,

bro.

I think you might want to reach out to him.

He obviously wants us to contact him.

Maybe he wants to send us a smoothie.

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.

You think Lance Barber had a sip?

I doubt 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.

Oh my.

Got into the bathroom, was still drunk, and missed the toilet with the puke.

Oh.

One of the funniest, oh, puke stories would be a fun segment to do one night.

Oh, that would be absolutely great.

We should do it at 6.30 so

people

are still eating dinner too.

Absolutely.

You got a good one?

There's a reason I can't eat white cheddar popcorn anymore.

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, one of the breakfasts here, any one of the breakfast cereals, maybe especially Lucky Charms, the kids might like it.

Well, that's a good one though, right?

I

think that's where they came up with, you know.

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 protein tub, you know my gosh

And

you know makes it with milk every time

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.

It's good.

It is?

It's good.

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 735.

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.

You got the civic media radio

network

You're stuck in no man's land Ain't nobody on your way back Ain't nobody gonna lend you a helping hand And you start breaking down And you're going to the sound

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.

This is Night Light with P. Chwaba.

Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now a guy who loves the sin but hates the sinner, P. Chwaba.

Welcome back to Night Light, ladies and gentlemen.

Hope you smoked them if you got them during the intermission portion of the show.

This is act two Very exciting.

It's a Friday night here at nightlight.

We are broadcasting as you just heard statewide It is a beautiful night a bit muggy here in downtown Green Bay But it is a gorgeous night along the Fox River here at city deck landing.

Hope you're having a great night Whatever you're doing enjoy those last couple weeks of summer folks and Conrad how are you doing?

You know, I just went outside during the break and I just was like

Wow.

That's all I had to say as well.

It's so hot.

Yeah, it is hot.

Like you said before, you gotta appreciate it before.

I

don't

mind that.

I really

don't.

When it's negative 20 out.

Exactly.

Folks, if you missed hour number one.

We had a great talk with Mike Clemens.

He kept us posted on how the Brewers are doing.

Pat Murphy, that was interesting when he said Pat Murphy is kind of the new comic relief for the Brewers, taking Bob Euker's place.

And he's right.

And it's funny that you can walk that line because I said I saw Pat Murphy going to the mound.

And you could read his lips.

He dropped an F-bomb and he was upset.

But then the fact that he could turn around and be funny at a press conference, you got to love a manager like that.

Yeah, you know, I really.

I'm enjoying watching First Baseball ever since Pat Murphy has came

in.

There's something to be said for, sometimes I say, I don't like to watch baseball.

That's not true.

When a team is jamming and stealing bases and playing station to station or making the right moves, sacrificing, stealing, knowing when to take the pitchers out, there's something to be said for that.

And it's a beautiful thing.

And it's amazing that not every team does that.

Like, especially like Mike said, you got the Mets with a $350 payroll.

And they have a winning record, but they should be better.

Yeah.

Yeah, they definitely

should.

So we had a great talk with Mike.

We also have a great question of the night, folks.

Heinz Ketchup, and it's about time, has a new fruit smoothie.

I think that sounds disgusting.

They mix it with fruit and Heinz Ketchup, which is delicious on a hamburger.

I don't see it in a smoothie.

But our question of the night is, what is even more?

Disgusting, what's an even more disgusting smoothie than the new Heinz ketchup and fruit smoothie?

We've had some great texts so far.

Be part of the fun folks and text us.

You could drop us a stream comment.

Text us on the app.

Do the old fashioned text line at 855-752-4842.

So far the winner is AJ from the 608 who said pigs feet, a pigs feet smoothie.

Was it pickled or not?

It was pickled.

It was pickled.

That makes it a little

better.

But come on, that's horrible.

I said the blob fish smoothie.

I don't think fish belong in a smoothie.

And you said the cheesesteak one.

Arby's

cheesesteak.

And it just looks like super idiot.

Yeah, that's pretty bad.

All right, so you're all caught up, folks.

It's great to have you with me here at Nightlight tonight.

We are kicking off act two here.

And we're gonna start with, I thought this was interesting.

First of all, I want to play a Tom Cruise.

This isn't tied to what I wanted to say, but I love this scene from Risky Business.

I've been sitting on this clip all week and it was, Risky Business did drop this week, but I want to get this clip played because this iconic phrase came out of this scene between Tom Cruise and I forget the other actor's name.

He also played, he plays Miles in Risky Business and he's very funny as Miles.

He also plays Booger in Revenge of the Nerds.

So those are his two biggest roles.

But here's the scene between Tom Cruise.

I really hope you believe this.

I trust that you did a great scene from Risky Business.

Joel, you want to know something?

What?

Every now and then, say what the f***... What the f*** gives you freedom?

Freedom brings opportunity.

Opportunity.

Makes your future.

Wow!

Be right there!

So your folks are going out of town?

Tomorrow.

You got the place all to yourself?

Yeah.

What

the f***?

Have you ever seen that movie?

I actually, I still haven't seen it yet.

It's really interesting because there's, it's a really good movie, like there's good action.

It's kind of got some sexy stuff in it, you know, there's some great scenes between Tom Cruise and Rebecca DeMorne and some of the other call girls and Tom Cruise's friends.

And then there's this great character actor named Richard Messure, I think I'm saying that correctly, who plays an Ivy League recruiter who shows up at Joel's house while he is throwing this party with escorts and all of his friends.

And it's just a really solid movie.

There's a lot of funny stuff in it.

Tom Cruise is great in it.

This is before he was Tom Cruise.

He was just a really solid actor.

It's got great moments.

It's funny.

It's thrilling.

There's a great scene at the Drake Hotel in Chicago in downtown where Tom Cruise took his dad's Porsche out and he and Miles are trying to get away from Joe Pannelliano's character, Guido.

Another classic line that Miles says I have a trig midterm tomorrow, and I'm being chased by Guido the killer pimp And it's a great chase scene So if you haven't seen risky business that that is probably due for a classic movie pick of the week one of these days It's just a fun film and it doesn't I Guess it's a teen comedy, but I don't think it really falls into like a Maybe like fast times type thing, but it's more about the character really great film

So, all right, this is, we are kicking off Act 2 here, folks.

I also want to talk about, I thought this was interesting because I found this clip, trying to figure out, let's do Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Let's do James Cameron first.

This was interesting.

James Cameron, who, you know, he's one of the most successful directors in Hollywood.

He did Avatar, Titanic, Titanic 111 Oscars.

It's really hard to argue with the success he's had.

Avatar's a franchise now.

Titanic can only sink once, so I don't think that one's coming back.

But very successful, but I can't say he's like one of my, like, I don't long for a James Cameron film when I'm sitting at home.

There are these big epic movies, which are fine, but the guy is the boss on his sets.

And I thought this was funny.

This will be in my Hollywood beats for Monday.

Matthew McConaughey auditioned for the role of Jack Dawson.

which ultimately went to Leonardo DiCaprio.

And apparently, I think McConaughey was just coming off of Days in Confused, in which he was great.

And he read for Cameron and produced for John Landau, and this was in John Landau's book.

He said, McConaughey did the reading, crushed it, everyone loved it.

And James Cameron said, he said, he loved it too.

He said, I'd like you to read again.

Give it another read.

McConaughey says to James Cameron, no, that was good.

And according to John Lando, that is what kept Matthew McConaughey out of Titanic.

The role eventually went to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Matthew McConaughey did just fine, but that's one of those roles that must make an actor go, oh, why, why didn't I just read it again?

Cause sometimes that can work in your favor.

Sometimes if you show Moxie,

and guts and you're willing to say stuff like that, they respect it.

And other times, your audition can lead to Leonardo DiCaprio playing the role you wanted.

So I thought that was interesting.

Here's another thing, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

One of my favorite movies from the 80s is The Terminator.

Pardon me, The Original Terminator.

I thought it was creepy, creative, inventive, had some great action and suspense scenes.

This is a clip of Arnold Schwarzenegger talking to Rich Eisen.

Do you like Rich Eisen?

He's all right.

I think he's great.

I love his show.

His interviews are great.

And I love that he interviews a lot of show business people, not just sports people, but Schwarzenegger goes on the show.

And here's a clip between Arnold and Rich Eisen talking about James Cameron.

True or false, the original I'll be back line in the Terminator was written as I'll come back and you had to convince James Cameron to change it.

I'll be back.

Wrong.

So Jim Cameron wrote, I'll be back.

And I said to him, I said, I don't like the way I sound when I say, I'll be back.

I didn't quite understand the L thing.

OK.

Being German speaking.

And I said, well, I'd rather say, I will be back.

Mm-hmm.

Sounds more machine-like.

And he says, all right.

He says, but I mean, are you the writer or am I the writer of the script?

And he says, well, you're the writer.

And he says, well, then don't tell me how to write.

He says, I don't really know how to act.

Let's just keep going like that.

Let's do 10 takes if I'll be back.

Did you pick the one that you like?

And that's the one that we do.

But the interesting thing about it was, no matter how much we argued about this, it was a line that no one thought would be ever repeated again.

And so when the movie came out, I remember I was in New York.

And the guy came up to me after the screening and says,

Oh, I don't know.

I'm a big fan of yours.

Can you repeat the line?

I'll be back.

And I said, I'll be back.

And he says, no, no, no, no.

The way you say it in the movie.

And then I said, I'll be back.

He says, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's an army guy in Iran off.

And then it happened again and again and the next day again and all of a sudden I said to myself.

Wow, this is kind of weird.

I called Jim Cameron and said, I'll be backline.

I said, I think he was so right.

I said, because he wouldn't have been that cool if I would have said, I will be back, right?

And he said, no, I told him it will work.

And he says, but it's going to be the most repeated line, I think, in history.

And it has become really one of the most repeated lines.

Very true.

And did you see the original Terminator?

Yeah, yeah.

So great.

And that line, the first time I heard it, I knew he was going to do something like he did.

But the way you don't know, like, would it have been just as popular if Schwarzenegger had said, I will be back?

Maybe.

But James Cameron is probably right when a guy's got instincts like that.

But I love I love Schwarzenegger like he's so great in interviews.

He's so likable.

But I do have a story.

My buddy Stan Johnson, who is a.

stand-up comic who started doing open mics when I did, like in 1991.

Stan was much older, he was probably mid-40s.

Kind of down on his luck at the time I met him, and he was a cab driver in Chicago.

And you could tell Stan at one point had kind of a built, you know, he's probably like you, how you are now, but he's in his 40s, things starting to sag a little bit.

Heck of a nice guy though.

In fact, he used to go on stage and he has whole acts written out.

And he even wrote out,

before he goes into his jokes, thank you, thank you.

In response to the hopeful applause that he would get when he took the stage.

What if he didn't get up?

I was, I would go, Stan, you had to write that down, thank you, thank you.

And he laughed.

Stan was a great guy, loved him.

But one day, he's driving his cab and Stan told a few of us that he was a bodybuilder back in the day and he was really good.

He brought pictures one night and the guy was jacked, you know.

Schwarzenegger gets in his cab from a hotel and he was at the height of his popularity.

He's probably late 80s probably running man Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stan Johnson turns back at him holds up his bicep and he goes What do you think Arnie?

Can I do anything for these while he makes a muscle?
