Welcome tonight, ladies and gentlemen.

Happy Friday, everybody.

Hope you're having a great day.

Great to have you here with me tonight.

Got a great show for you.

We are going to kick off the weekend in style.

For many of you, it's already started.

Maybe you're at a happy hour.

Should we try it would it be you think people would get upset if they were happy hard and they put on a radio show like ours I

think you'd be pretty cool.

I think it'd be great.

I would I would love the challenge of trying to entertain Drunken maniacs

toss a couple back and

listen to

nightlight

exactly That's the voice of Conrad Krieger working the board tonight the kid Conrad Krieger We're gonna talk about a few minutes one of Conrad's favorite shows.

I feel like you know

I do, I do, I trust your judgment.

You know, we've talked about enough TV and movies where I feel like we're, you know, mostly on the same page.

I have to, I have to watch how I met your mother.

I've just never, I don't know.

And I can't see myself.

I will, because of our working together, I'll go back and check it out.

But is there like a network sitcom?

You'd go back and watch, you're doing it with Seinfeld, I guess, but that's an iconic show.

Yeah.

Nothing really like,

You know, it's out of me.

The only thing that jumps out Seinfeld how I met your mother in the office I feel like are the big three like comedy

the last ones

You go back to those and you just you can laugh every every episode,

right?

I would say modern family was more recent than Seinfeld in the office.

I do I think that's a great show, but yeah as far as like

Network shows, nothing really gets me, and like I said, I'll go back and watch.

I am gonna check out how I met your mother one of these days, but nothing other than that really, oh god, look at this guy trying to parallel park out here, that's awesome.

Student driver, he's gonna back right up into the window here.

I just got off on a tangent there, folks, but I will check out how I met.

how I met your mother, and I'm going to take a quiz.

Conrad is going to give me a quiz in a few minutes.

It's quiz night here.

It is.

At Nightlight with Pete Chihuahua.

So we've got our guest tonight, our Stuart Waddles from, he is the Southeast Wisconsin news director here at Civic Media.

He will be here at 6.35.

We're going to talk about Dolly Parton, who made a big announcement this week.

Talk a little bit maybe about Robert Redford, because I can't seem to let that go.

See what Stewart's take is.

And he's going to just kind of fill us in and tell us what's going on in Southeast Wisconsin.

And then, ladies and gentlemen, it's a bar band Friday night.

Our pal Terry Barr is here with new music and outstanding conversation.

It is always fun to talk to Terry.

Friday nights were made for Terry Barr.

So we'll do all of that tonight.

We got a great question.

and we hope desperately that you will be part of the show and phone lines are open, text us whatever's on your mind throughout the course of the show and we will read it on the radio.

So with that said, we've got, it's Friday, everybody's kind of thinking about the NFL and you got your Packers are playing on

Sunday at noon

against the Browns.

My nephew Griff is a big Browns fan.

He grew up, my sister Molly and her family, believe me.

They have their, they have their beefs with the Cleveland Browns.

It's not a well run organization.

No, no, definitely

not.

But they're

big fans.

They still go in there.

You know, you got to love that.

I do.

I appreciate loyalty to one's team, even if it's especially if it's a team, like it's easy for you to be a Packer fan.

You know, you've had a pretty good run, dude.

They have been good your entire life.

Yeah, that's true.

They've won a Super Bowl.

They won one a few years before you were born.

That's kind of cool.

And so, you know, I'm not saying you're less of a fan because you have a good team to root for and they make it kind of easy, but you're less of a fan.

No, but it's true.

If your team stinks, you know, that's, it's a little more admirable, wouldn't you say?

I

would say just sticking through them, sticking

through the

bad years.

Yeah, I would definitely say so.

I have never been a bandwagon fan.

I do have teams that I like.

Like, I like the Steelers.

I like the family owns it.

They're kind of like the McCasky's only successful, at least in the last 30, 40 years.

I like the Steelers, always kind of liked the Niners.

I thought they were a well-run organization for a while.

And this is gonna sound weird.

I like the NFC, the other NFC North teams.

I mean,

I think Detroit is a great story because Detroit has been through hell.

The city is on a rebound and I think that's a great story.

And people in Detroit are gritty Midwesterners.

And the Twin Cities I like, it was a good comedy town.

I don't mind the Vikings.

So I don't really hate any of the NFC North teams.

But there are teams I hate.

That's a question one night.

What NFL team do you always root against?

Yeah, I got a big answer for that one.

Who is it

the Cowboys

that same I think everybody unless you're a cowboy fan.

Yeah, no one's indifferent on the Cowboys

I Just disagree with that nickname that they give themselves.

Yeah

America's team

because you think it should be the Packers.

Yeah, I any other team besides the well besides the Browns, but

Besides the Browns, but it right now.

I agree

I don't know.

And there's teams I love to hate, and the Cowboys are one of them.

Whatever one of the New York teams is on, for whatever reason, I have no interest in watching.

The Giants, they usually suck.

The Jets are a joke.

Yeah, they just, neither one of those teams.

So I don't know, we got off on a tangent there too, but that's a good question.

We'll do that soon too.

So, lots of football this weekend.

The Badgers play Maryland, I know.

We'll see what happens there.

I have a lifelong Badger friend, my friend Mike, who said, if they lose tomorrow, Fickle will be fired this year.

Yeah,

I thought that was interesting.

He's definitely on the hot seat.

I'll tell him that.

But we'll see what happens.

All right, so that's the show tonight.

A great show.

Let's get to the question of the night.

Here's the nightlight question of the night, ladies and gentlemen.

Let's talk about the question.

OK, question.

Question.

Question.

Pregunta.

Question.

Question.

OK, I have a question.

Questions.

This question.

Domanda.

Question.

Question.

Questions.

It's National Love Your Lunch Day.

A weird day.

So tonight's question is, what is in your sack lunch?

You have to bring, you got a brown bag, folks.

What's in your sack lunch?

I'd love to know.

855-752-4842, 855-75 civic, or you can text us on the app, or drop us a stream comment at YouTube, on YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter, ex Twitter.

And if you're watching the radio, we will read your text.

Phone lines are open.

Let us know.

You know, I'm going to let you go first.

I don't know.

You kind of were born after the whole sack lunch thing.

I think people still brown bag it, so to speak.

But they got their coolers and their thermoses and, you know.

You

know, I think my mom kept it pretty simple for me, which was great.

It was just PB&J.

I feel like maybe some other type of sandwich.

But I feel like most days, PB&J, there's some chips, some fruit in there.

Yeah.

And a little dessert.

So maybe a little candy bar or something like that.

Oh, Mrs. Krieger.

Are you like the sweetest mom ever?

Yes.

Well, yeah, you're going to say.

I mean, you're biased.

I'm saying she sounds like an excellent mother.

And I don't.

When I was a kid, it was peanut butter sandwich, taco flavored Doritos.

I don't think nacho flavor was even invented yet.

This is like late 70s and.

I had the peanut butter sandwich.

I had taco Doritos.

I would put the taco Doritos on the peanut butter sandwich.

My mom would pack like an apple, which I'd never eat.

And then we'd get milk from it was Catholic school in Chicago.

So we'd get like, and my mom was one of those that she didn't want us to have chocolate milk, even though now it's kind of a healthy thing.

I mean,

it's a staple in the lunchroom.

It's just milk chocolate milk.

Yeah.

So that's my sack lunch.

Now as an adult, here's what I'm doing.

I'm going reheated Chinese food.

That's what I would do.

That's what I would bring to work.

If I brought my lunch to work, I'd probably bring leftover Chinese food.

What if you didn't have leftover Chinese food from the day before?

I don't

know because... Would you

go to a Chinese restaurant before?

Yeah, probably go to a Chinese buffet.

Leave it out for like five hours and then grab it.

And then mow it at lunch.

I would probably do that.

I probably hit the... There's a Chinese buffet down the street, you know.

I

didn't

know that.

We've never hit that.

We should hit that.

I'm never here early enough.

But if I'm ever here for lunch, we should hit the Chinese buffet because we have one in Marinette.

Pardon me.

And I love Chinese buffet.

It's like, there's something about it.

It's like liberating.

It's like, I can eat as much as I want.

And

you never do.

You slow down.

You go back to that second plate and then like four bites in, you're like, whoa, okay.

This is all going to waste.

Yes.

I'm sorry, God.

I'm wasting more food.

But I do love a Chinese buffet.

You know what I'm a sucker for at a Chinese buffet?

Crab brain goons.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll have about four or five of those things and then I'm full and I'm like, all right.

Well,

they're

good for

you.

It's seafood.

I mean,

yeah, it's great.

Not the cream cheese and it's, you know, really good for you.

It's dairy.

No, I love the one we have in Marinette.

It's, uh, I think I told you I went home one night and it was like eight.

This is so weird.

It's eight 30.

I thought they closed at nine and I called and I thought, I'm in.

You know, I made it back in time.

I could put a box together and take it home and eat some Chinese food tonight.

And I call and I go, hey, are you up until nine?

No, 10 more minutes.

I go, you close at 840?

She goes, yes.

Like, all right, I'll be right there.

So odd.

But I did it.

I like the orange chicken

or the

general sauce chicken.

I have chow mein noodles I've been reintroduced to.

I like, but yeah, I like all that stuff.

And they have cocktail weenies, which is.

a nice delicacy at the Chinese

buffet.

I'm trying to think of a buffet.

I went to the head cocktail weenies.

Who's eating that?

I don't know.

First of all, nobody is eating cocktail weenies.

Even if you have a gourmet recipe at home, you're not making cocktail weenies.

You're certainly not eating them when you go to the Chinese buffet.

And the other thing they have for dessert is royal fudge stripes out of the box, out of the cookie.

They just went to the grocery store and kind of weird.

So all right, but the question is backtracking.

What is in your sack lunch?

You can tell us what you brought to school for lunch in a brown bag or your lunchbox or what you bring now.

No right or wrong answers, folks.

There's only your answers and they're all wonderful.

So let us know.

So we have a quiz.

We'll do that after the break, I think.

But why don't you set it up?

Why don't you tell people what you want?

How I met your mother is my favorite show of all time.

I've rewatched it probably about nine times now through.

Wait a minute, you've watched every season nine times through.

My brother introduced this to me when I was like 14 or something around there.

And I fell in love with it the first two episodes.

It catches you so fast and it's hilarious.

All the characters, the group that they have is the main five are just so great together.

And

you mean it's funny from the get go.

It is what you're saying.

Like you're hooked immediately.

The chemistry these

characters have in it is just amazing.

Like it seems like every time I come back to it, it feels like I'm visiting old friends.

That's how it

feels like.

And yeah, that's a great show.

That's a comfort show.

And I have this quiz that I made because there's nine seasons of it.

And you know, it really gained popularity in around the third season.

OK.

And with that comes a lot of guest stars.

And there's some ones, I made a quiz that's like, was this person in it or not?

And you not knowing how much your mother I think makes it better.

It's so random,

it's just

like, but I'll see, maybe I'll do all right.

You know, it's not like you have to do well on it.

No.

I think it's cool the names that have been on the show.

Okay.

And some of the names you're gonna be like really he was

they were on it.

I think I'm gonna do okay Just because I've worked with you for a while now and I think maybe I can guess what you're going for when someone hasn't been on the show So I'm kind of looking forward to that So we'll do that folks after a quick break, but also I think I teased that this is quiz night here on Friday But I don't think I said what we were doing Stuart J. Waddles will be here at 635 We'll talk to Stuart a little bit and then he's gonna take he's the one that told me about this Dolly Parton event

So I thought, he's a fan.

We're going to give Stuart a Dolly Parton quiz.

She is an American treasure, ladies and gentlemen.

You could tell us your favorite Dolly Parton song or movie or whatever.

Text us, drop a stream, comment, whatever.

Be part of the show.

But Stuart will take our quiz.

We are becoming known all over the world for our nightlight quizzes.

In fact, we just started getting texts from North Korea.

Really?

Unfortunately, I'm not bilingual, so they feel ignored, but it's nice to know they're listening.

So we'll do all that.

But right now, when we come back, I am going to take Conrad's How I Met Your Mother quiz and tell you about a movie I am looking forward to more than I have any other movie in like a year.

He's gonna take a Dolly Parton quiz.

Right now, I'm gonna take a How I Met Your Mother quiz.

This kind of a fun tangential quiz, but first, I'm gonna tell you, Paul Thomas Anderson, I cannot wait to see this movie, One Battle After Another.

It does not open until next Friday.

But it's Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, who, I don't know if anybody plays a better badass than Sean Penn.

And Leo DiCaprio is great.

And Paul Thomas Anderson, supposedly this is his most anticipated movie in 20 years.

It's getting close to, it's at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, 80 reviews in, and it doesn't even open until a week from tonight.

But a lot of people have seen it.

That's when you know you have a good film.

They're not scared to show it to critics a week out.

And I don't even know how old these reviews are.

This could be from two weeks out.

But this film, I am very excited.

I'm a little too excited.

I think my expectations are way too high.

Did you see

how long the movie is?

Two hours and 50 minutes.

You know what?

I'm okay with that.

Yeah.

Because of the reviews.

If it was getting like a 41%, I wouldn't even go see it.

But there are some movies that are that long that I don't want them to end.

You know,

I hope this is one.

I just wanted to see that you know the cast of it and Sean Penn's name in this film is Steven J. Lockjaw.

Lockjaw, I know.

What a name.

That's terrible.

Benito Del Toro's in it.

Love him.

Regina Hall, great.

It's gonna be a fun movie.

I'm feeling good about it, but we'll see.

All right, so I have never seen the show How I Met Your Mother.

It's kind of its favorite show of all time and we're gonna do a quiz.

He put together a quiz for me.

on he's gonna name a guest star or potential guest star, alleged guest star, and I have to guess if this person was really on the show or not.

Yeah, I don't know if we mentioned why we're talking about how I met your mother.

I can't.

Good point.

It is

dropped today, right?

It's

the 20th anniversary of the show.

It came out in 2005 today.

Okay.

So it means a lot to me.

So

that's, you

know, nine seasons?

Nine seasons.

Nine seasons.

Yeah.

And...

You do do you want to get started?

Let's do it.

All right.

We've got some time

special guest appearances and how I met your mother is it?

Is he were they

not on the show

or yeah?

Yeah, so the first one is Justin Bieber was he on the show or was he not?

Wait a minute.

When did the show go off the air 20 like 16?

Yes, it was I yeah 2016 Yeah,

he did it

no

damn you

See, I normally would say no because he's, alright, just whatever.

I'm not gonna make excuses.

I'm gonna go for

one.

Okay.

The next one, Bob Barker.

Was he on the show?

No.

He was.

Come on.

And he plays hilarious in it.

It's, Barney doesn't know his father in the show and his mom, he was bothering his mom about it when he was younger.

He's like, mom, who's my dad?

And he goes, and she just points at the screen.

That guy.

And it was

Bob Barker.

So this

whole life you believe that it was Bob Barker.

Oh, funny.

Yeah.

So he actually meets Bob Barker in the show and has an awkward moment with him and

be like, you did?

That's great.

OK.

All right.

0

for 2.

This is not

going well.

John Cena.

If I was a quarterback, I'd be headed to the Pro

Bowl.

All right, Seth Green.

Yeah.

He plays a really, really creepy college.

Like one of their friends in college and he stalks Marshall and Lily all the time

here my thinking on that was he he was kind of big in the early 2000s Yeah, I really likes that green didn't do much and I thought yeah He would do that and I and a lot of people like him so I could see them offering him a walk-on roll.

Yeah, okay Wayne night Yeah He plays Barney step brother.

Here's the next one.

John Lithgow.

Yeah.

I'm going to kind of against my instincts there.

Okay.

Jennifer Lopez.

No.

She

was.

What?

She was in one episode and she plays hard to get with Barney.

So now I'm six for 10.

Six for ten all right Kanye West no Correct all right Conan O'Brien Yeah, he was really and he didn't have an actual role.

Oh, man.

Yes.

He was.

Whoa!

Get down on it.

What am I, 8 for 12?

And I went against my instincts twice, so I could have done better.

Excuse us, excuse us.

Our question of the night, folks, what's in your sack lunch?

It's like national lunch day or something.

Janet says homemade chicken and veggie soup on social media.

Great Janet.

Eric Ratsack, our pal stretch, says turkey sandwich, the classic American meal.

And my buddy, Vince Morano, says beef jerky and a 40 ounce.

We are coming right back, folks, with Stuart J. Waddles.

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

This is Nightlight with P. Schwab.

Great to have you with me, folks, on this Friday night.

A gorgeous Friday night.

Technically still summer, but it feels like fall, and I'm gonna go with that.

You know, Conrad, every time you show up fresh from the beauty parlor with your haircut, I always make a comment.

You haven't said jack about my ridiculously handsome haircut, and I'm not, you know, I've about had it with your crap.

You know, I'm kind of intimidated, so I can't say anything.

I understand that.

Okay.

You're forgiven.

Let's find out.

You know what?

My first question for our next guest is going to be, I want to ask Stuart about how often he used to get his haircut.

He's one of those dudes that looks awesome, like bald.

Some guys just pull off that look and let's get into it.

What am I talking?

Stuart is here in, he's on the stream and I'm just talking about him and speculating.

He's giving himself a scalp massage.

My pal.

This is not that bad.

Stuart Waddles, he covers news here for Civic Media.

He's the news director for Southeast Wisconsin and Civic Media joins us now as he has often in the past, we love when Stuart drops by.

How you doing, buddy?

Hey, well, thanks.

I just decided one day I was getting a little thin up here and decided to go for it.

It feels great, doesn't it?

I was going with like an actual razor.

Now I went on Amazon and I found like a barber's professional, the closest you can get with a buzz.

Okay.

And you can do that yourself?

Like, you don't need

to.

I can.

Well, I'm doing all of it.

I mean, as long as I do all of it, I'm all right.

How often do you have to do it, Stuart?

Kind of depends on my well-being.

Every couple of days.

Let me ask you this, because I know a friend who does that, and he looks awesome bald.

And he's like, I'm more handsome.

I look better bald than I did with hair.

Do you put yourself in that category?

Well, there's a reason I did it.

Right.

But yeah, I mean, it started to get a little thin up here and I was like, yeah, I don't like to move it over here.

And I used to be, I used to have nice, beautiful, luscious hair like you.

Look at you.

What kind of product are you using?

That's not bro cream.

I can tell it's not bro cream.

Something that's oily and but not too oily.

I use bro cream and I use electric shave when I do my face So no, I I just the cheap stuff I get whatever is on sale and you know, okay for product But and it doesn't what kind of stays in your hair for a long time.

I don't

know.

Well, I think it looks good I'm not sure if Conrad said anything or not, but

he didn't say a word Stuart and

you

know

I'm not saying, like, he's not a good person, but this is just getting to be a little bit too much.

But it is great to have you here, buddy.

How have you been?

We haven't talked in a while.

We haven't talked since Bluey, and that was so fun.

That was a lot of fun.

And have you watched any of it?

Have you come across a few episodes?

Have you watched a unicorns?

No, I haven't.

But I will say regarding Bluey, when my kids were home, 24 and 20, I made them sit through with my wife.

an episode of Bluey and it was the one where the kid was dreaming.

Oh, that's the one.

Just got me.

And with having the kids there and they always know I ball so easily and they make fun of me and it's terrible.

But yeah, it was really, what a great show.

Thank you for that.

Yeah.

And go watch the last two.

I can't even have some of these final episodes that they've done on just because they're so heart wrenching and well

done.

But then the episode before that, like the dad's

playing a game where he's given birth that in Disney is like scrubbed that one like there was a while there's one episode that they don't show in the States because they think it's too graphic I'm not sure but it doesn't it's bluey so it doesn't get too crazy but yeah

when people get so soft when did when did they get scared of a kids show or comedians or what was happening

It's one of the best ones because he's calling he's pretending like people don't know the dad is like a heavy player He pretends hard and he brings the neighbor dad into it where the neighbor dad just joins in and it's hilarious Just because he gives up what he's doing and it's a great show movie coming out in a couple of years

Yeah, that's what I heard that.

Hey, are you you're a movie fan, but I don't know how often you get to the theater because you have young kids.

But have you heard of this this film opening with Leo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, the one battle after another?

It's a Paul Thomas Anderson film.

No, very

excited about this.

I'll probably be talking about that quite a bit over the next it opens next week But let's I want to ask you what are you at?

Did you take a sack lunch to school when you were younger Stu?

Oh, yeah, I packed it myself starting like second or third grade Yeah, look at you folks are working.

I got to get stuff done.

So yeah in J with the Conrad Ruffles or a ruffled variety

didn't have

to be specifically ruffles And then the trick is once you get there at the lunch table you open up the sandwich place the chip inside

That's the move.

Yes.

I'm so with you there.

And did you ever like, did you ever trade or try to swap with other people at the table?

Cause I could never have pudding.

My mom was not a big processed sweets person.

I couldn't have pudding.

I never had Pop Tarts or anything like that.

And I

crave- No little

Debbie's?

Maybe the occasional little Debbie.

Not that that's any better, but yeah.

Well, that's the other thing in my sack.

That's a Swiss cake roll.

Maybe one of those peanut butter things.

Those

are dynamite.

When you went on a field trip, you get to bring a soda with.

Yeah.

I could put a big red in there.

We're going to have a successful trip to the museum.

That's great.

What is happening in southeast Wisconsin, buddy?

You're the guy down there, man.

You got your WRJN.

It's such a great station.

You're hanging with Don Rosen and Chris Morrow and all these swell gents.

What's happening?

Well, they're buying signals too.

Yeah.

I don't know if you read the trades at all, Pete, but they picked up a few signals in the other metro area in Milwaukee.

100.3.

Yeah.

W. A. K. And is being put into the other big city.

Okay.

UK is on an additional signal.

So exciting.

Some exciting changes possibly coming to a UK real big on that.

News wise, you probably heard about Microsoft, right?

The big data center.

It's getting even bigger.

They call it the world's largest supercomputer and it's going to be like on my way to the mall.

Wow,

that is really cool.

The other thing that's kind of cool is, well, it's been cool for the last 30 years when they've been talking about it, but a rail service connecting Milwaukee to Kenosha.

And in Kenosha is the end of the line for the Metro train getting into Chicago.

So theoretically, if they could put this all together, you can hop on a train in Oak Creek and get down to Chicago and vice versa.

Yeah,

that would make your way all the way up.

the megalopolis, right?

That's something that's being worked on.

And then the port bar downtown Kenosha, they're getting closer to that Al Malinero statue.

Are

you

serious?

Kenosha's very own Al Malinero.

Yeah.

There's a bar downtown that they're working on putting up an Al statue.

They're in contact with his widow and that's progressing.

They're doing fundraisers and they're moving that along.

So he's not interested in that.

Absolutely.

I didn't know he wasn't around anymore.

Oh, he passed.

Yeah, it's been a while.

Did he really?

Yeah, when I worked at Tanuta's, have you heard of Tanuta's a big famous restaurant in Kenosha?

Or not a restaurant.

It says there is a restaurant called Tanuta's.

I'm talking about the delicatessen.

No, anyway, when I worked there, Al came in and I took his groceries out once.

So wait a minute.

Did he really live in Kenosha?

Yeah.

That's a lot of local causes.

He came down to Coho Rama all the time.

Oh man, we got to do a deep dive into that one night, Stuart.

That's

so great.

I could find the organizers of that thing.

That'd be a fun segment.

Absolutely, yeah.

I didn't know that.

So I assumed during the happy days here is he lived out like in LA near the soundstage or whatever.

But then he

came back.

Yeah.

Yeah, he came back around.

And yeah, so that should be exciting.

They're going to put the Almalon arrow statue up.

So you could come here, check out that one, then go on up and see Fonz.

Is it wrong is it wrong?

Chachi or it's Chachi from up your way.

No, Scott Bale can

I don't

think so.

We'll see You know, I'm

more gosh idea

I'm more excited about the Al Malanero statue than I am the Microsoft thing and I know I don't know what that says about me But I think it's

I know that's why I put it in my bullet points.

I knew I got to hit the serious stuff But the important stuff that a hard-hitting Pete Schwabba news

That's my speed Al Malanero

That's awesome.

So we're talking about how I met your mother before we get to Dolly Parton.

We've got big Dolly Parton news to her too, by the way.

Tell us what happened.

Let's just tease it.

What

happened this week?

She's, she's doing better.

She was supposed to be at a Dollywood event celebrating this big roller coaster.

They're putting like a half a billion dollars into a renewal, new, new coasters and such at Dollywood.

She was supposed to be there.

However, last minute she didn't show up.

Apparently, she's got a kidney stone.

She's not feeling well.

And at least me, I'm on edge.

She lost Carl D. She lost Carl D. like six months ago.

I know.

Sometimes, you know, I can get weird when folks have been together like 60 years and one goes away.

So I'm on Dolly Watch.

Even if you never heard about the guy, it can be weird because they obviously had some bot like you heard.

I knew she was married to but he was so out of the spotlight.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah.

And again, for 60 years out of the spotlight.

Right.

So I'm on Dolly watching and she's again, America's sweetheart and she's 79.

She's fantastic.

All right, we're going to do the quiz soon.

We'll talk more about

Dolly

Parton.

I have to ask you though, regarding sitcoms, I know we've talked about 80 stuff before, but Conrad loves how I met your mother.

Where are you at?

What kind of sitcom do you relax with, Stuart, if any?

30 Rock.

I think the greatest show ever

made.

I

mean, there's more jokes per second in that show than any show I've ever seen.

And then you can even go back and watch what, 20 years later now, and there's things that, oh my goodness, how did I miss that?

But yeah, 30 Rock's top of the list.

Do you want to know, I've only seen like three episodes of that.

It's

one of

the, I know, it's one of those shows that I watch and I laughed and I loved it.

And I'm just like, I was on the, you know, I don't know, the wire or whatever.

I just, the sitcoms.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, that's what your thing was.

That was a show that debuted at the same time as 30 Rock and with a similar premise.

It was like a Saturday Night Live-esque, but that was like the Aaron Sorkin drama and 30 Rock succeeded.

They were not for like 10, 15 years.

Beat Aaron

Sorkin, very nice.

Remember that one?

Yes, I

do.

I remember another one that came out.

This is a little before that.

It was called Wind on Water with Bo Derek.

And it was like this family, they were all good looking, go figure, and they lived near the beach.

And it was the creepiest ad ever.

It was like, you're two guys, and you like to surf, and you like to chase girls.

Bo Derek is your mother.

It was like, was this a porno?

Like what the hell?

And it lasted about four episodes.

It had nothing.

It had no legs.

You know, it was awful.

I think you should be the new voice of the Civic Media radio network.

And pipes.

Look at that.

I couldn't even recreate that if I tried.

Stuart Wattles is my guest.

He covers news.

He is the Southeast Wisconsin news director here at Civic Media.

And we always love when Stuart stops by.

So.

What else was I gonna ask you Conrad?

Help me out here.

What was

I gonna read for you?

Well, you said you had read for yes, of course

So where where are you at?

I'm Robert Redford.

Obviously you mourn him.

You know, he was a great actor But do you have a favorite Redford movie Robert Redford the environmentalist

or

the

activist?

Well, yeah, it's to me.

That's like the the doc Brown from back to the future.

I'm writing the active Because for me he wasn't my era.

I mean, I'm back to the future Ferris Bueller

and he was doing legal eagles at the time.

So that wasn't my bag as a kid.

But Quiz Show was good.

I remember watching Quiz Show.

That was a fine film.

Sneakers?

Yeah, I'm not that well versed in the record.

And I'm more familiar with his activism work and Sundance work.

That actually his

work work.

You are so high, bro.

I just thank you for being

here, even

though you're like, no, I think when I got into Redford was because of like HBO, when that came about in like 1980 and the movie channel and all these, they were putting on electric horsemen and Jeremiah, whatever, Jones or whatever.

And all these Robert Redford movies were on.

And that's how I, cause most of those were made before my time too, but he was, he was phenomenal.

The guy was a great, he was a, you've seen the sting, right?

Yeah, you know, I have

it's been a while though.

I don't I don't I don't remember

you got to rewatch

that a long

time That's a movie for the whole family show the kids.

Okay

After

you that was that where I should start with with redford.
