Welcome back to Nightlight, folks.
We're just kicking off EC2 here on this Thursday night from beautiful downtown Green Bay on this gorgeous summer night.
Conrad Krieger working the board as usual here at Nightlight.
And we've had a lot of fun.
Jane McNair was here in the first hour.
It made the popcorn pick of the week.
Her pick was, did you already forget Conrad?
I forgot.
That's right.
It's the sex of the city reboot.
And that was James Pick, a great pick.
And it was great to talk to Jane.
Check out Matt and Aaron here every weekday here on the Civic Media Radio Network from 9 to 11 with Greg Bach.
They do a great job.
We also talked about to call them a fire in the first hour.
And we got a little mileage out of our Wabino fire.
I
think Reddit
You mean like a reboot to find out what their story is?
Yeah, I think they had any good calls or anything.
I
I like that.
We
Road.
Yeah, right.
A spin-off, if you will, from our little comedy skit.
And we've established that Matt Damon turned down 10% of the profits of Avatar.
Because he said he did in a recent interview.
He probably cost himself a couple hundred million dollars and He says no one in Hollywood has ever lost as much money as him by saying no to a deal, but he had a good excuse.
He's working.
He's working hard I'm excited to see there's a couple big movie openings this weekend.
Nobody to I'm going to see that Kirk.
I think I'm gonna see the other one first I'm excited to see nobody to because I like the first one, but I'm really excited to see what Spike Lee did
with Denzel Washington and this remake of Highest to Lowest, so.
Well, because it's a great movie.
I don't know.
I haven't, I'm not saying I wouldn't watch it.
I love Jimmy Lee Curtis.
I don't know much about Lindsay Lohan, but.
Lindsay Lohan, for that movie?
Well, we've got a lot going on.
Steve Martin turned 79 today, and our question of the night is, what is your favorite Steve Martin movie or TV show or role?
You could just share a fun thought about Steve Martin.
He is a beloved Hollywood icon.
I'm on record as saying I don't love, it's not that I don't love he and Martin Short, him and Martin Short together, I'm just over it.
Now it's a little too folksy, a little too schmaltzy when they're together, and it kind of makes me a little bit sick.
as much as I love both of them together.
So there you go.
And coming up at 720, we've got in studio rock and roll, ladies and gentlemen.
The kids love their rock and roll.
Horace Green will be here rocking the studio here at Nightlight.
That is coming up in just about 10 minutes.
They'll be here.
Are they in route?
Do we know?
Oh yeah.
Okay.
And we should probably get to some of these texts.
This is a great question.
People are having fun with it.
And obviously they love Steve Martin because we're getting a lot of text activity.
Melissa from Willy Street, she's in the 608 says the jerk all day.
Did I read that?
That was somebody else's.
Okay.
Melissa likes the jerk.
And that's in my top five, Melissa for sure.
And that's another movie I was watching probably in like...
middle school going home.
I
don't even understand half of this or it's like a lot of sex jokes.
But he's so great in the jerk, Steve Martin.
If you haven't seen it, check it out.
David from Richland Center says the jerk.
All right, another vote for the jerk.
And yes, Melissa did correct herself.
We read her text earlier.
She was talking about the Goonies and her adventures as a young bike rider in her neighborhood.
And she typed Googies, but she corrected herself and said Goonies.
We figured as much.
All right, Chris Casper our pal our civic media pal who says those aren't pillows and that is an iconic line From planes trains and automobiles, so we know Chris Casper likes planes trains and automobiles That's one of our favorites.
My wife and I just call it PTA We watched it so much when we first started dating or shortly thereafter.
We just called it PTA because we knew We didn't have the kind of time where we could actually say planes trains and automobiles because we're in our early 20s
Tony the trucker he's in the 608 he says planes trains and automobiles hands down that said it doesn't happen without John Candy RIP John Totally agree Tony the trucker and I would say I said the man with two brains as just an absolute pure comedy But planes trains and automobiles is my favorite Steve Martin movie and one of my all-time favorite movies.
It's a masterpiece.
Well done
John in Madison in the 608, Melissa's John says, the man with two brains, Dr. Afer.
And hoping, and if, I don't know if you remember this John, Kathleen Turner's name was Ann O. Melmahay.
It's like U-L-U-L-U-L.
So great.
He says hopping on one hand saying, blank, damn, your drunk tests are hard.
Oh my God, I forgot about that.
Oh my God, so, so funny.
John recommends the man with two brains, as do I. Eric from Madison says, Roxanne, I forgot about Roxanne.
And I just gave that a rewatch like three years ago with my kids.
It holds up okay.
Steve Martin is great in it.
Thank you, Eric.
Everett from Sun Prairie, the jerk is still one of the funniest movies ever.
Totally agree.
Conrad highly recommended it.
I gotta give it a rewatch too.
It's been about 20 years probably.
I don't know.
That's the one I would recommend.
But Man With Two Brains too.
Like those first three movies, Deadman Don't Wear Plaid, The Man With Two Brains.
and the jerk are all just complete Steve Martin goofy comedies.
Like Plains Trains and Automobiles is a great movie, top to bottom.
There's good drama, there's good comedy, but Steve Martin being the wild and crazy guy, goofy Steve Martin in those first three movies, they're just gold.
Well done over.
Thank you.
Jameson in Pennsylvania That's the 814 folks if you're scoring at home.
He says con has it right I lived in Olympia the capital of Washington very close to Tacoma as funny as the show is it's a bit true to life as well How can that be?
Just like it's a goofy town if that's even
Did you see super troopers?
yeah.
they're great.
Jameson also says, also the jerk has my vote.
It's so corny, but it's great.
Well, it's corny, but it's, I don't even know if I'd say it's corny.
It's just supposed to be stupid.
It's silly.
The movie's called The Jerk.
And that's the movie, Jameson.
I don't know if you remember, Steve Martin goes out, he leaves.
He is the one white guy in an all black family, and he feels different.
He feels different.
And he goes
out and he hitchhikes to leave home.
And there's a truck that stops at the end of the fence.
And the trucker says, St.
Louis?
And Steve Martin says, no, Naven Johnson.
Oh, you're going to St.
Louis.
Yeah.
How far are you going?
The trucker says to the end of this fence.
Beautiful scene.
Great stuff.
Jack from Merrimack says, my favorite Steve Martin movie by far is Roxanne.
There are so many great scenes in that movie and it's hard to consider any other, but the scene in the darts, oh, it's great.
Steve Martin, that is a great scene.
Great set piece.
He says, the scene in the darts bar is absolutely brilliant.
Totally agreed, Jack from Merrimack.
If you haven't checked out Roxanne.
Please do so.
Steve, Conrad's dad checking in.
I gotta say Steve Martin became one of my favorite play actors first when he played the now iconic Saturday Night Live skit with Dan Ekroyd.
They were two wild and crazy guys and one of his first movies, The Jerk.
All right, there you go.
Your dad loves it too.
That means you have to watch it.
Thank you, Steve.
Conrad's mom, following suits, says the pink panther or little shop of horrors.
God, he's done so many great moves.
I totally...
I forgot about both of those movies.
Great stuff, Paula.
Brian from Green Bay says, oh, we already read that one, the best to go fire.
Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids says, special alert, someone has thrown a book of matches in the monkey house.
Is that from Tacoma?
FD or is that a Steve Martin line?
Tyler's.
Tyler's a mad TV watcher.
That's awesome.
Thank you, Tyler.
Nancy from the 331.
Hey, Pete.
Nancy from Illinois.
House sitter.
Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn.
Another one I forgot about.
Just watch The Godfather of Green Bay.
Enjoyed it very much.
Spent a lot of time in Rhinelander, Love, Wisconsin.
Thank you, Nancy.
Thanks for watching The Godfather of Green Bay and your great text tonight.
Steve from Florida also says, I gotta say, Short and Martin are great in only murders in the building, but I agree, Pete, Short and Martin have to separate when they are not shooting episodes.
Even the recent charge, oh, yeah, they did that credit card commercial.
Yeah, those are really hard to
watch.
Or bringing real comedy writers or something, it's just so bad.
He says, and Steve says that commercial is really, really bad and not funny.
I agree, Steve.
Tom from New Berlin says, with you, Pete, and Jane with the gore.
Okay.
Jane McNair was here a few minutes ago, said she didn't like gore.
Not a huge fan of gore either.
And Tom is with us.
We got to voucher.
Tom says, Jane, you melted me.
Oh, sounds like Tom has a little crush, Conrad.
Have we ever played Cupid for anybody who's been on the show?
I don't have the right nightlight marriages or I mean James marriage is a happy I don't think we can speak for Tom, but Little crush is okay, and I think he just means he loves her show Tom says it's like weeding Around the flowers.
Maybe he's talking about the honeysuckle stuff All right, we got through all the text we're caught up.
No, we've got a stream comment from Craig Kennedy says Pete first thought is the jerk which is a classic classic comedy classic but
As a performance as a whole, I love his role in Parenthood.
Certain parts of that film are so beautiful, it brings me to tears.
That's a sign of a great actor.
You can be funny.
And bring you to tears.
Great stuff, Craig.
Thank you for all your texts.
Keep them coming, folks.
It's not too late to get in on the fun.
What is your favorite Steve Martin movie or TV show?
Steve Martin turns 79 today.
Craig says, Craig, can it says, also the fake annoyance that Steve and Martin have for each other is exhausting and not funny.
You know, I've always said this to it's hard for comedians to be funny past like 60 maybe Maybe they just don't know that or their audience doesn't care.
Look, they're selling out arenas with their show My parents went and saw it.
I think here at the rest center.
They made the drive from Marinette and saw and loved the show and I'm sure it's entertaining.
I Just don't need to see it John Murray from Madison
Back on the text line in the 608 Peter the jerk Steve had me at I was born a poor black child.
It's so funny Such great stuff Keep those texts coming folks.
What is your favorite Steve Martin movie or TV show?
We've got Horace Green coming up in just a couple minutes.
They're gonna be in the studio Playing what I like to call rock and roll Conrad, what do you call it?
Do you call it the rock and roll?
So you're going to see, we've established this, you're going to see Nobody 2, which opens this weekend.
I'm going to check out Highest to Lowest with, it's a new Spike Lee film with Denzel Washington.
It's their fifth time they've been working, they've worked together.
So I'm excited to see that, but I will definitely see Nobody 2 as well.
That was a great movie.
Like you just, I remember my son Joe and I just scrolling one night.
I think it was Netflix.
And it's like, oh, what's this movie with Bob Odenkirk?
Cause we both love Bob Odenkirk.
He's a great guy in real life and he's incredibly talented.
So we played it.
We said, let's give it a try and we were riveted.
Nobody was, it was so unassuming.
It's like all of a sudden it's this great movie and Bob is so good.
Bob Odenkirk is so good in it.
It just kind of catches you off guard.
He plays a very unassuming badass.
And nobody too is reviewing well too.
So I have every reason to think it's gonna be a good flick.
So we should have a report on that on Monday as well, folks.
All right, it's Pete Schwabba in Night Light.
We have Horace Green in the studio.
They are coming up next after this very short break.
You're welcome to still play our question of the night, folks.
What is your favorite Steve Martin movie or TV show?
Eric on the stream says Horace Green plays something they like to call cream.
Now I'm intrigued we'll get into all that next coming up on nightlight with peach wawa on the civic media radio network

Good night with Beachwaba on the Civic Media Radio Network.

The band has arrived.
We've got, oh my gosh, this is exciting.
We've got Horace Green in the studio.
They're just getting set up right now.
Our question of the night, if you still want to get in on the fun folks and have us read your text on the radio, what an amazing moment in a listener's life.
Let us know what your favorite Steve Martin movie is or TV show.
It's Steve Martin's birthday today.
He turns 79 Jane McNair was here earlier host of McNair on air She made the popcorn pick of the week and picked and just like that That's the first time a TV show has been picked.
I think
so
right so it's fun to have Jane on and right now is my pleasure to introduce they are fresh off an Incredible performance at the mile of music northeast
Northeast Wisconsin based Horace Green is here.
Hey guys.
Hey.
Hey Pete.
Okay, so we've got Tony Austin I don't want to do with my questions Let's let's have you guys introduce yourselves and you can tell us a little bit about you as individuals and we'll learn about the band and then you're gonna rock us, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, sweet Yeah, I'm Tony I play guitar and sing
I'm Sam I play bass and sing
and I am Austin and I play the drums
outstanding
It's good to meet you guys.
You too, man.
How long have you been?
Well, first of all, I have to ask you, where does the name Horace Green come from?
Yeah, so it's just an old man's name.
Really, like, you know, you get like a dog or a cat, you name the cat, you name the dog, you get a band, you name the band.
I don't know.
Just one of those names.
It happens to coincide with the movie School of Rock, which was not necessarily intentional, but it's a
more of a happy accident.
Can you grab my questions, Connor, right there?
I don't know if you guys heard of this.
This is a great story about Pearl Jam.
Do you know what the name of Pearl Jam was supposed to be?
They liked the NBA player Mookie Blalock and they were going to call their band name.
They were going to name the band Mookie Blalock.
And
they went
away from that.
I think that was smart because Pearl Gems are great.
But it kind of reminded me of you guys, like Horace Green.
You said it's like an old guy.
So
that's kind of cool.
I was really into like blues music back then, and that's kind of like where the inspiration came from.
That's interesting.
So talk about that.
What brought you guys together and how long have you been playing?
Well, Austin actually joined the band in 2019.
Yes, late 2019 was my first
show with
these guys.
Perfect time to join a band.
Seems like
a
good
time.
Let's just set those live shows aside for a while.
Yeah, right, which is pretty much what we did.
Yeah, I think it was like September you joined and then learned all the music and we had like a full next year of shows and then everything got canceled.
Wow.
Yeah.
So what did you do during that time?
Did you go back to the drawing board with just writing a
lot or?
Yep.
I did a lot of writing for the album we're going to be coming out with in May.
Okay.
And yeah, Cream.
Cream was incepted during that time too.
Nice.
It
was a COVID baby.
Yep.
That's exciting.
So we might as well stick with that.
We got a text on the stream, Horace Green plays something they like to call Cream.
Because I said your genre is what I like to call rock and roll.
And is that the song that's dropping tomorrow?
It is.
Could you guys, could I twist your arm to play that after the news?
Would you guys be willing to do that?
Absolutely.
That's so cool.
Tell us how.
All right.
So Tony, you're the lyricist, typically.
OK.
Where do you, where do you get inspiration to write lyrics?
Usually I just have an idea, like one little idea for a song and then I try to just build it around that and make a lyric message that seems cohesive.
One thing I used to do when I first started writing songs is I would make these lyrics that only made sense to me.
Yeah.
And then no one else, I mean, they weren't like totally gibberish, but I kind of over time have tried to make the lyrics more relatable and make sense to a bigger group of people.
Okay.
Um, but yeah, I just try to make sure it makes sense and, you know, says some kind of message.
Yeah.
Cream is, uh, well, there's, there's a couple of messages in cream.
Sends a message.
Yeah.
I like to let people, uh, make their own meaning for the song.
Okay.
We put it out there.
And you can listen to it and then whatever you feel, that's probably the right answer.
Do you ever do that like after shows or interviews like this when someone has their interpretation?
It was nothing like what you thought.
You're like, oh, I love how you were trying to say this.
And you're just like, yeah.
Yeah.
No, that definitely happened.
That happens within
the band.
Oh, I'm
still.
like there's some misheard lyrics from like our first album.
We were listening back to a live performance and I was like, oh, is that what you're saying?
And then it was something completely different.
So all
these years later,
I'm still learning.
Todd thought it was Fish Fry on that one song, one of the lyrics.
Yeah.
No, it definitely
happens.
How was Myla Music?
You guys just performed there.
It's just gotten to be this humongous music event right here in Northeast Wisconsin, which I think is so cool.
It's a treat.
Yeah, and we're on statewide.
So we talk about summer fest sometimes.
They just had Atwood Fest in Madison.
This is kind of like our thing in Northeast Wisconsin.
Have you played a lot of festivals and how does that rank?
Yeah, we played Atwood Fest last year, right?
Yep.
That was really fun.
I love that one.
They're all great.
I would say Myla Music is probably our favorite.
It's special.
It's in our backyard, you know, it's a beautiful place.
They, it is a mile of music and it's straight down all of college avenue.
It's straight up a mile of music and there's what, maybe 30 different venues
around that.
I think maybe even more.
Yeah.
And it's just wild.
Just to see.
Different genres of music too, right?
Like everything.
It's a special festival.
Yeah.
What do you guys, we're going to go to a break here, but what, it's a straight up rock and roll.
Is that what you call Horace Green or?
We
struggle with that question.
We don't
know what to say.
You said blues
before,
so you don't have to, right?
Who cares if you don't?
It's a little
psychedelic.
It's a little disco-y and dancy.
It's rock and roll-y,
genre-bending.
I love Nighttime Boy.
I saw it on your website earlier.
That had kind of a funk, psychedelic kind of thing too.
All right, Horace Green is here.
We're going to do the news.
And when we come back, we're going to get a sneak peek at their new song called Cream.
It drops tomorrow.
You're going to hear it here on Nightlight First.
It's Peach Waba.
on the Civic Media Radio
Network.
I am Pete Schwab, and this is Nightlight.
It's so great to have you with me, folks.
Conrad, this doesn't happen very often, but we've got Horace Green in the studio here, Northeast Wisconsin-based rock band.
Well, we don't know if it's just rock, but a lot of different genres.
But I literally had the chills when they were warming up.
So I don't mean to put the pressure on you guys, but I'm very excited to hear you guys play.
So let's talk about this.
You've got a song dropping tomorrow called Cream.
Give us a little background, and then we'll hear it.
Cream is the climax to the summer of cream, which was our summer tour this year.
And we are releasing it on what is now the Cream Solstice.
Okay.
It's a new
holiday.
We're going to be celebrating every year.
I love it.
That's so cool.
All right.
So, Horace Green, they just finished great performances at Mile The Music.
They had a blast.
They're here in the studio.
We're going to hear their song that drops.
Where can people find the song tomorrow?
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, anywhere you listen to
music.
Pretty much anywhere.
Okay.
Yeah, I will not sing background.
Are you guys okay with that?
Oh, we were hoping you were gonna.
see how it goes.
Maybe I'll jump in.
Alright, this is Horace Green in the studio here at Nightlight playing their new tune, Cream.
Alright.
You want me to count it off?
Sure.
Must be
Given into the groove, there's nothing you can do.
That's so cream.
The currency of ecstasy.
Turn and go to ju-
Sister Sonic, fill the ocean
There's nothing you can...
into the groove there's nothing you can do is that your brain giving into the groove
Jealousy
Great job you guys all I knew is when I was listening it made me wish I could do what you're doing And I think that's
that
was great.
That's cream folks.
It drops tomorrow The band is Horace Green.
That was just a little taste You guys are gonna play something again in the next segment.
I think that was so six minutes does that
I'm trying to figure out, too, while I listen.
Like, who are your influences?
I heard a little bit, almost a prince, maybe, or got a good funk sound.
Like, you know, who are your influences?
Who'd you guys grow up listening to?
Prince
is good.
Okay.
That's a good pull.
That's a good one.
You could be compared to a lot worse, right?
Yeah, yeah.
He's up there.
It's
a great compliment.
I don't know the answer to that question.
We're terrible at the genre thing.
I think when I'm writing music, I just write whatever feels right, and you know what?
If it comes out good, it comes out good.
You say you turn the music off.
Yeah, I can't listen to music when I write, because then I start writing of the song.
Right, thinking of someone else.
Yeah, exactly.
It gets derivative, yeah.
When I was growing up, my dad, he played a lot of like 80s rock and 70s stuff.
He had this Bee Gees DVD.
that I played when I was like five to 15 years old on repeat all the time.
The disco Bee Gees are like the Bee Gees before they have all of it.
All of it.
Yeah.
They're an amazing unbelievable.
Yeah.
Did you ever hear Springsteen play like staying alive in concert?
It's it's unbelievable.
The songs hold up no matter how you play them.
But they're just yeah.
The lyrics are
great.
You should see them when they were kids.
They're amazing at harmonizing.
Yeah.
So good.
Wish I wish I could
do
that.
Yeah, it's goosebumps.
So how do you guys how do you start Tony?
Did you write the lyrics first or you get the music first and is it easier to write lyrics to music or vice versa?
It's totally random.
I Over time I've kind of like gotten the idea that it's about the spark.
So like there's always a spark.
Yeah,
maybe it's like a guitar riff or a lyrical idea
And then that's like the North Star of the song, and everything kind of goes off that.
Nice.
Very cool.
You have a couple dates coming up we should talk about, because they're like upon us.
So where are you going to be tomorrow?
We are in La Crosse tomorrow, playing an event called The River Roast.
The River Roast.
I've heard
it.
It's supposed to be a great festival.
Yeah, it seems
pretty
cool.
There's like a hotel.
The Charmont, I think, and they shut down the whole street and everything.
Do people dance when you're playing?
You do some rock and roll, but it's very danceable stuff.
Do people get up, and you said you did at Wood Fest last year.
Was that something people got up in?
Yeah, yeah.
At Wood Fest was fun.
There's a good crowd there, good energy.
Yeah, people dance to some
stuff.
All right, so you got La Crosse tomorrow, and then, I mean, this must be a misprint.
It looks like you're in Green Bay at IG, the IG Night Market tomorrow as well, August 15th.
Is that date not right?
It's right.
Not on the 15th, on the 16th.
Oh, okay.
And then Appleton at the Stone Arch is...
That's in October.
Oh, it is, okay.
All right, I was looking
at that.
It was
on the website.
Somewhere.
Okay.
I might have misclicked
something.
So...
Where do you guys want to take this?
I mean, right now you're based in Northeast Wisconsin.
Do you travel far outside of Wisconsin?
Where are your favorite venues and where are the best crowds that you've encountered so far?
Appleton's always fun, whether it's Myola Music or not.
Milwaukee's fun, we like playing Milwaukee.
Milwaukee Madison.
Minneapolis and Rochester were really fun this year.
Two weeks ago we were there.
Beautiful
area both areas.
Yeah,
love the what's uh, where are the Japanese gardens
Anderson Japanese garden Rockford
That's we love playing there, too
Yeah, we've been there a couple times and it's this big like botanical garden
and they do like
a Tuesday night thing so gorgeous
down
there and Like there's like 500 people and it's just right in the middle of the garden.
So super cool
Very nice.
Horace Green is here in the studio.
Their new single, Cream, drops tomorrow.
And anywhere you get your music, they're out there.
It's great stuff.
They're gonna play for us again.
We're gonna do a really short break.
We did hear, okay.
Do you guys know Steve Martin?
You know Steve Martin.
Do you have a favorite to Steve Martin movie?
That's our question of the
night.
Oh man.
I'd need
a list.
I'm so bad at bringing up.
All right.
Think about it during the break.
Okay.
We'll get when we come back.
But Ross Bigley dropped us a stream comment and he says, I think Bo-Finger is brilliant.
Another Martin classic or the man with two brains classic.
And then Eric, he's a big fan of you guys.
That's his second stream comment.
And he just wrote cream in all caps.
Cream, Eric.
That's our guy.
Cream.
We love him.
Thank you, Eric.
John from Madison says, Peter, the jerk.
Steve Hapniad, I was born.
Oh, we already read that one.
Sorry, John.
John has another one though.
He says, never again.
Then, will this be a movie line for a pasty white fellow like Steve, vintage classic comedy at its best?
Should this be taboo for a modern movie?
Maybe, it's just so damn weird nowadays, sadly.
And then Jim from Appleton says, Steve Martin in Pink Panther, parts one and two.
We are coming right back, folks.
Horace Green is in the studio.
They're gonna play for us again.
And then they're gonna help us close things down here, which is exciting.
All right, little peach wabbit nightlight.

Just had a great showing at the Miracle Mile, or Miracle Mile.
There we go.
Mile of music.
Back in LA.
We're back in LA now.
And they just played their new song, Cream, which drops tomorrow.
We got a little sneak preview here, which was very exciting.
And it's a great tune.
So check it out.
Check that.
Where can people find what platforms are you guys on for social media?
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube.
Okay.
Everything.
The big boys.
And your website is great too because you have like a player and you could just click play and random stuff comes on.
That's what I was doing today when I was, so check out their website as well.
And there is an Easter egg somewhere on the music.
There's a secret.
Yeah.
What do you win?
You win, you could say you win something.
I can't give too much away.
All right, check it out.
Go to their website and good luck with the Easter egg.
Is it, you know, speaking of social media, is it harder now with, you know, I remember when I was younger, it was like, you had to play, you had to go hand out flyers post on bulletin boards, get your friends to come to the bar.
Now you have music you can put out on social media.
It seems so easy, but.
is it hard keeping up with all that?
You have to find content constantly.
What do you think is, what are the challenges
there?
You should still do all that street stuff.
The social media, there's so much noise.
There's so many people posting things all the time.
The trick is to get through the noise.
So that's what's
tough.
There's so much, like it makes it easy for people to put out.
So there's so much on there.
You have to stand out in the crowd.
That's interesting.
So when you guys come up with a song, how do you do it?
Do you go into the studio?
I've been amazed just having bands on this show where they think of a song and they play it and it's great.
But then they go in and produce it or they work with a producer who adds so much like all this composition.
What's that process like for you guys?
Or do you just produce it yourselves?
So I usually will write a song and I'll demo it just like at home.
And then I'll share it with the boys, and then we jam it in the... We have a little me and Sam of a little studio in Oshkosh.
That's where we recorded this whole album we're coming out with in May.
And yeah, we just jam it out.
Sometimes things change when we have to play it live.
But yeah, we record up there too, and then I'll mix it.
And then I like to send it off to a different person to have it master just to get another ear on
it.
But that's usually what we do, yeah.
What if you guys had to pick a band?
that your career would sort of parallel, or to reach a certain level of fame, if you will, what would that be?
What would that band be, or what would that look like?
That would be The Rolling Stones, Ero Smith.
Even high, all
right.
That's
awesome.
I'm hoping we can be the first band to play on the moon.
They're getting close with Space Force.
Yeah, it's gonna happen at some point.
It's gotta happen, right?
I always wanted to be the first guy to walk on the sun.
I think
Smash Mouth did that already.
That's true.
Very well said.
Conrad, do you have any requests?
boys.
Do we have any nighttime boys here?
You want to explain what that is?
A nighttime boy, I mean, it's an open term.
If you feel like a nighttime boy, you probably are one.
Okay.
And you may be one after the song too.
All right, fantastic.
Horace Green is here.
Love the name.
Love the band.
Check them out.
Their new song, Cream Drops Tomorrow.
Thank you everybody for listening.
They're gonna play us out.
I'd like to thank Jane McNair for being here and making the popcorn pick.
And just like that, which wraps up tonight, she said, right?
For those of you who like and just like that, check it out.
It's the end of an era, and I would like to thank all of you for your texts, calls, everything.
Steve Martin was celebrated tonight, properly, I think.
And I'd also like to thank you guys for being here, Horace Green.
Thank you, man.
They're gonna play us out.
The song is Nighttime Boy.
On behalf of the lovable producer, Conrad, we'll be back tomorrow night.
Good night, Wisconsin.
Here's Horace Green.
One, two, three, four.
But we ain't coming down Strangest feeling I got now Got me breaking down And lately things just don't feel right Maybe I gotta follow mine But my God, how can I keep away?
I wanna be an attempt
me out of my mind.
How could I be missing this?
Summer sweetie and they're getting it.
And I think I'm working in the morning.
But I'm forgetting it.
And babe, I could be your midnight boy.
And stay bringing in the light next morning.
Don't be sleeping on this night I'm coming through the other side
