Hope you're having a great day.
Great to have you here with me tonight Got a great show for you.
We are gonna 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 hour 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 going to 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 and you're doing it with Seinfeld, I guess, but that's iconic show.
Yeah, nothing really like
You know it's out of me.
The only thing that jumps out Seinfeld how much 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 drive, 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 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 Wattles 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.
We 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 Sunday at noon
against the Browns.
Yes.
My nephew Griff is a big Browns fan.
He grew up my sister Molly and her family.
Believe me, he they have their
They have their beefs with the Cleveland.
It's not a well-run organization.
No.
No, definitely
not.
But they're big
fans.
They still go.
You know, you gotta love that.
I do.
I appreciate loyalty to one's team, 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.
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 that's it's a little more admirable.
Wouldn't you say I
would say just sticking through him is sticking
through the
bad years.
Yeah, I would 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 going to 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 are Detroit or gritty Midwesterners.
And the Twin Cities I like, that was a good comedy time.
I don't mind the Vikings.
So I don't really hate any of the NC North NFC North teams.
But there are teams I hate, you know, we should that's a question one night, what NFL team do you always root against?
Yeah, I got a I got a big answer for that one.
Who is it the Cowboys?
That's him.
I think everybody unless you're a cowboy fan Yeah, no one's indifferent on the Cowboys.
I 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 them.
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 in 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, yeah, 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 night like question of the night, ladies
and gentlemen.
Let's talk about the question.
Okay, question.
Question.
Question.
Pregunta.
Question.
Question.
Okay, I have a question.
Questions.
This question.
Domanda.
Question.
Questions.
It's National Love Your Lunch Day.
Weird day So tonight's question is what is in your sack lunch?
You have to bring you got a brown bag at folks.
What's in your sack lunch?
I Love to know 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 8 5 5 7 5 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.
Mrs. Krieger.
Are you like the sweetest mom ever?
Yes.
Well, yeah, you're going to say 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.
Oh, bad boy.
My mom would pack like an apple, which I'd never eat.
And then we'd get milk for 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 gives you 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.
Would you go
to a Chinese restaurant before?
Yeah, probably go to a Chinese buffet.
Leave it out for like five hours.
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 You never do you slow down you go back for 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?
Krabbering goods.
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.
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 8.30.
I thought they closed at 9.
And I called and I thought, 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 9?
No, 10 more minutes.
I go, you closed at 8.40?
She goes, yes.
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 want to do the head cocktail weenies.
Who's eating that?
I don't know.
You 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, like out of the cookie.
They just like 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 lunch box, 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?
Well, How I Met Your Mother is my favorite show of all time.
Right.
I've rewatched it probably about nine times now
through.
Wait a minute.
Yes, every season my time through
my brother introduced this to me when I was like 14 or something around there.
Okay.
And I fell in love with it.
The first two episodes like it's it catches you so fast and it's it's hilarious.
All the characters that group that they have is you know the the main five are just so great.
Yeah,
together and
You mean it's funny from the get go.
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 mother I think makes it better.
It's so so random.
It's just like,
but I'll see.
Maybe I'll do all right.
You know, it it's 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.
OK.
And some of the names, you're going to be like,
really?
They were on it?
I think I'm going to do OK 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 Quiznight here on Friday.
But I don't think I said what we were doing.
Stuart J. Waddles will be here at 6.35.
We'll talk to Stuart a little bit.
And then he's going to take, he's the one that told me about this Dolly Parton event.
So I thought, he's a fan.
We're gonna 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.
Texas, 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.
It's Peach Waba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio
Network.
That's right.
It's Friday, folks.
You can let that play, Con.
Great song.
It
doesn't really make sense, because he's kind of personifying days of the week.
Great song.
Happy Feel Good song.
And hope you're having a happy and Feel Good Friday, folks, as we head into segment number two here on Nightlight with Peach Waba.
on a Friday night.
It is a bar band.
Friday night, Terry Barr will be here at 7.35.
My pal, Stuart Waddles, will be here at 6.35.
He's going to take a Dolly Parton quiz.
Right now, I'm going to take a How I Met Your Mother quiz, this kind of a fun tangential quiz.
But first, I'm going to 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 OK 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 the, you know, the cast of it.
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 going to 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 going to 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.
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.
Yeah.
And,
uh...
You 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 so
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 I would say no because he's all right.
Just whatever.
I'm not going to make you use our room for
one.
OK, 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 got and she just points at the screen.
That guy.
It was
Parker.
And was it really?
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,
yeah.
That's great.
OK.
All right.
0

Yes, 67%.
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 role.
Yeah,
okay Wayne night Yeah, he plays Barney step brother.
Oh nice, so I'm six for eight.
Yeah
Damn.

Here's the next one.
John Lithgow.

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

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 he was just in the background of one shot

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 Peach Wabba 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 going to 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 gonna 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?
Stewart 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.
It's not that bad Stewart waddles.
He covers news here for civic media.
He's the news director for Southeast was constant at civic media joins us now as he has often in the past we love when Stewart 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 an actual razor.
Now I went on Amazon and I found a barber's professional, the closest you can get with a buzz.
OK.
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?
It 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 look, he's like, I'm more handsome.
I look better bald than I did with hair.
Do you, 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.
It's something that's oily, but not too oily.
I use bro cream, and I use electric shave when I do my face.
No, just the cheap stuff.
I get whatever is on sale for product.
And it 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.
Thank you.
But
he didn't say a word, Stuart.
And
you know what?
Come on, Connie.
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 it with my wife.
an episode of Bluey and it was the one where the kid was dreaming.
Oh, that's the one.
Oh,
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 dads.
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's bluey so it doesn't get too crazy but yeah.
When do 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 de Caprio 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?
Because 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 little Debbie's
Maybe the occasional little Debbie and not that that's any better, but yeah,
that's the other thing in my sack.
That's a Swiss cake roll.
Maybe one of those peanut butter things
Those
are dynamite.
And there was a couple of, when you went on a field trip, you get to bring a soda with.
Yeah.
So if I could put a big red in there, we're gonna 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. 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, uh, have you heard of Tanuta's a big famous restaurant in Kenosha?
Any
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 what a lot of local causes.
He came down to Coho Ramah 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 years, he lived out 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.
You're going to put the Almalon arrow statue up.
So you could come here, check out that one, then going up and see Fonz.
Is it wrong?
Is it wrong?
It's Chachi from up your way.
No, Scott Bayhook and
I don't
think so.
We'll see.
You know, I'm
more excited.
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
why I put it in my bullet points.
I knew I got to hit the serious stuff, but the important stuff, the hard hitting Pete Schwab 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 a 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.
No, that
takes out it.
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
Pardon.
I have to ask you, though, what, you know, it's 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.
Wow.
And 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?
Yeah.
But yeah, 30 Rocks top of the list.
Do you want to know?
I've only seen like three episodes of that.
It's
one of the
Pete.
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 to, 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 ask, but that was like the Aaron Sorkin drama.
And 30 Rock succeeded.
They were in on for like 10, 15 years.
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.
And 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 Waddles 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 going to ask you?
Conrad, help me out here.
What was I
going to?
You said you had Redford on your wrist?
Yes, of
course.
So where are you at on 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 the or the
activist.
Well, yeah, it's to me.
That's like the the doc Brown from back to the future.
I'm right in 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
right
was my bag as a kid.
But quiz show was good.
I remember watching quiz show.
I was a fine film sneakers.
Yeah, I'm not that well versed in the Redford.
And I'm more familiar with his, like, activism work and sun dance work, that actual
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.
No start with wind on water with
Bo
Derek and then go to
your whole Redford catalogue.
All right, Stuart Wattles is here, folks.
We are going to give him a dolly.
We're going to talk about Dolly Parton, do a little more of a deep dive, and then we'll do a quiz.
Stuart Wattles has agreed to take our Nightlight Dolly Parton quiz.
We have a quiz for everything.
All right, we're coming right back.
This is Nightlight with Peach Wabba on the Civic Media Radio
Network.
Welcome back!
That is
the wonderful Dolly
part.
And this is Peach Wabba in Nightlight.
What does that sound called?
Love is like a... That was a request.
If
you're looking for some Dolly Bumper music, I offered up a suggestion.
I
actually wanted to come back with something, and Conrad said Stuart already requested something.
So I'm like, that's fine.
You can have the next one.
Yeah.
You can have the next one.
It's your show.
I'll let you
do it.
You can get away with that.
I appreciate that.
I had a great one queued up.
She had a kidney stone.
She is one of those people who I have to be honest Stuart like I was kind of indifferent about Dolly Parton most of my life and I always like I love the song Here You Come Again and a few Dolly Parton songs that would come out.
I don't even know if I knew they were Dolly Parton songs.
I just knew her because of her you know who she was and her image and you know the the big chest and all that kind of stuff when you're a kid but
She's a treasure.
She is a national treasure.
She is a nice person.
She does tons of charity work.
She's been in movies.
She's had top 40 hits.
If you even had to, what could you say bad about Dolly Parton?
I don't know.
Let's find them.
Who's
saying something bad about Dolly?
Where are they?
Right.
Let's go get them.
Yeah, I had a strange introduction to Dolly, so.
You met her?
Well, no, no, just in general in my life.
Oh,
okay.
I was probably in kindergarten and I had the best little whorehouse in Texas soundtrack memorized.
Wow.
Yeah.
So I had a strange introduction and it's weird because you mentioned her physical attributes.
To me that as a kid I'm watching Dolly and that never registered to me and for me it's like almost I saw her as like a family member and that was never a thing with Dolly like it was like.
like oh gross you think that about dolly it's just so yeah my introduction was it started off in a weird place with dolly but yeah she is a national treasure she doesn't say anything bad about people keeps her most of her thoughts to herself
i like how she keeps her thoughts to herself but you they kind of seep through sometimes and you can tell she's a compassionate person who has empathy and sympathy she's just a nice person and
I love her story.
I love that she got to Nashville when she was like, what was it like 16 and met that dude, Carl Paul Thomas Anderson.
No, it was not Paul Thomas.
Carl
Dean, Carl Dean.
And she was living in a house with like dirt on the floor.
Yeah.
And she met him at a laundromat or something like that.
And they just hit it off.
I don't know.
He was older than I don't know.
Was he he wasn't like creepy older than her.
Was he was he just a few years or
what?
Yeah, not too much.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, she's got a great story.
I love everything about it.
Do you have a favorite Dolly Parton movie?
Um, I mean, you have Best Little Horror House in Texas.
Because it's got Dom Del Oise in it.
It's got Bert and Jim Neighbors.
I mean, there's a lot to like about that film.
I totally forgot.
I have to give that a rewatch because I saw that was one of the first ones that came on cable.
And I think all my friends and I in the neighbor are like,
oh man, it's Best Little Horror House.
So we watched it just for the title.
Yeah, and then he got Dom de la Huis singing about Texas has a horse in it So it's like a musical.
It's I don't know.
It's again.
It was it was a strange part of my childhood looking looking back at things It's weird that in kindergarten.
I was watching best of the Whorehouse in Texas So funny and had it up and there wasn't I mean the movie wasn't I mean graphic there was a guy there was one scene at that 4750 that
I'm not sure of the exact time, but there was a scene that there was a God explicit there for a minute.
But other than that, I didn't remember that part.
I just remember Dom DeLewis being funny and and I will always love you as that right at the end.
Yeah.
And that, you know, and it's funny you say that because like that that's like the equivalent of Bart Simpson and his friends going to see the naked lunch.
I think it was like Jimbo or somebody goes, I can think of two things wrong with that title.
All right.
And what about song?
Tell us about that song we just heard.
Is that your favorite Dolly song?
Yeah, that's probably the best one.
Why'd you come in here looking like that in your high heel boots and your painted on jeans?
That's a funny one.
Yeah.
I will always love you as a classic.
Great song.
I don't know why, but I like the Whitney Houston one, but I'm kind of mad about it.
It's like, that's Dolly's song.
I'll dare you.
Uh, Jolene is a classic.
Everybody's gonna say Jolene, but yeah, love is like a butterfly.
Uh, she does a duet with Brad Paisley, uh, when I get where I'm going.
That's more of a recent, recent one.
That's something in the past 15, 20 years.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
I think, uh, I like most of her songs, but I will say that I will always love you.
Dolly Parton's version is better.
And I, that's a...
To me, that's a small, I understand why they made it a big production number in the bodyguard.
Whitney Houston is a beautiful voice.
She's a great singer, but when she just
Bellows it and puts her arms out.
It's too much.
It's like overproduced Dolly's was just simple and sweet and and I heard a guy
I was
bring yeah, and I was doing stand-up in Somewhere, I don't know probably Ohio or something vaguely remember this guy who was singing after the show just an acoustic guy and he sang it very kind of a small production a guy an acoustic guitar and it was just it's such a beautiful song
Yeah, and you know the origin you know what that that song is all about no
So, uh, she was, like, kind of hired on, got her big break in the business from Porter Wagner.
Porter Wagner wrote one of the big nudie suits he had a show, and he got Dolly into the game, and at some point Dolly was leaving, she kind of was branching off and starting her own
thing.
Oh, wow.
And she wrote, I will always love you for Porter Wagner, the guy that got her her big break.
No kidding.
Yeah.
Oh, that's great.
I like a lot of the like, look, I'm an Ann Murray fan.
I admit that I'm admitting that on the air.
Like,
could I have
this dance?
You know, there's just
even though we ain't got
money.
Oh, man.
That's another one.
I heard a guy in the subway in Chicago singing that.
And I've never heard anything more beautiful and nobody will ever know who that guy is.
But there's such beauty.
These people bestow upon us.
OK, so after the news, Stu, can we do the Dolly quiz?
You ready?
You warmed up.
All right, this is fantastic.
Stuart Waddles is here.
And my friend Tom Boyle says the El Malanero statue is also going to be a sundial.

I'm not staying that late.
Edward in the 414 says Vegemite, Branson's Pickle and a Plowman sandwich.
Then again, I'm Scottish.
Thank you, Edward from the 414.
I would heard the term Vegemite sandwich since the Men at Work song down under.
And I still I've heard it's not an appealing looking sandwich.
I've never tried one.
Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids.
He's in the 608 says, I got a rock.
A little Charlie Brown action there.
Thank you, Tyler.
We'll get back to some more of your text, too.
We got some, we just got some new ones.
In fact, Melissa had a great one.
Let's
read
that, but make a note of that one.
She had a good idea.
All right, we're going to get back to our guest, Stuart J. Waddles.
He covers news for Southeast Wisconsin here at Civic Media.
He doesn't just cover news.
You're the news director.
You can boss the news around Stuart.
That's what I get out of that.
Yeah, I'm wide-ranging department.
Do you get to see Don Rosen on a daily basis?
No, I don't wanna.
What?
I was just gonna say, do you get to see Don Rosen on a daily basis?
Not on a daily basis, but yeah, I mean, yeah, I see Don every day.
Okay.
He's on a different kind of part of, yeah, yeah, I see Don.
Okay.
Sometimes he's in a different room where we actually don't, you know...
Oh, you don't interact.
But
sure.
Sometimes I see him through a window, you know.
What about
what about on the way out though?
Rich little Casio.
Yeah, I like rich.
I turned him on to you.
I said you guys up because he was he's a wrestling guy.
Yeah, no, no, I know you like him.
I just didn't know if your paths crossed on a daily basis or not.
Yeah, yeah, cross pass with him.
Got a sales guy in there that I worked at a previous radio station with Steve Salisman.
Good rep.
Nice.
Oh, sounds like things are really cooking down
there.
And Rich Lucasio, do we have that wrestling thing, Con?
Can you find that?
Yeah, I mean, I have it right now if you want me
to
play.
Let's hear the Pine Tree Mauler one.
This is Rich Lucasio.
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Rich Lucasio.
You're listening to Nightlight with Pete Schwabba.
I would like to introduce to you the Pine Tree Mauler from Marinette, Wisconsin.
He is Pete's.
I
mean, I have, I have the chills.
Yeah, I'm surprised you don't have the Intercontinental Championship.
I mean, that kind of intro right there.
My
wrestling talent ends right there, though.
I don't, I think I could take Rich.
I'm not trying to start anything.
He'll be here on Wednesday.
Maybe we can just have a little rasslin.
I could set up a ring.
Would that be weird?
I could
set up a ring.
Looks like he got some room behind you there.
Why don't you guys both shut up?
I'm not wrestling.
All right.
So Stuart, we have a Dolly Parton.
You're obviously a big fan.
You know more than Dolly Parton than anybody I've ever met, certainly.
But let's do this quiz.
This is going to be a fun quiz.
It's multiple choice.
Again, not that you need it.
You seem very well versed in the career of Dolly Parton.
But we're going to do this quiz.
Conrad, you got the sound effects ready?
It's just OK.
What about what if he doesn't get it right, though?
You just gonna do that?
Okay.
You talk like a pirate.
That's what we'll do.
Stu, if you don't get one,
Conrad
has to say that.
Okay.
So here we go.
Our nightlight Dolly Parton quiz, collaborative effort between Conrad and myself and ChatGPT.
And we're gonna give that to,
I know you can't
say that.
We're gonna give that to Stuart Waddles right now.
Here we go.
Question.
Okay.
Number nine?
What the hell is
that?
All right, hold on.
Question
number one.
Here we go.
In which movie did Dolly Parton sing, I Will Always Love You to Bert Reynolds while he was in the bathtub?
Was it A, 9 to 5, B, Rhinestone, C, the best little whorehouse in Texas, or D, Steel Magnolias?
Steel
Magnolias, no, that's the best little whorehouse in Texas.
There we go.
That's ending the album right there.
I kind of knew that after what we
let him
do for the news.
That's an easy one, just to get you started.
Yeah.
Number two.
What movie did Dolly Parton star in with Dabney Coleman, Lily Tomlin, and Jane Fonda?
Was it A, Steel Magnolia?
God, Red's got hooked up on Steel.
B, 9 to 5, C, Rhinestone, or D, Straight Talk?
Yeah, that's 9 to 5.
9 to 5.
Dabney Coleman.
What a fun name.
That's a fun name to say.
It's a fun name to think about.
That guy was good.
I have to admit, I totally forgot about Straight Talk.
Yeah?
Did you see it?
I saw Straight Talk.
I remember seeing Rhinestone, too.
She was in a movie with Sly Stallone.
Stallone,
yeah.
Fine actor.
He's the opposite of Dolly Parton, in my opinion.
All right, number three.
What is the full name of Dolly Parton's husband who recently passed away?
Is it A, Charles Dean Smith, B, Carl Thomas Dean, C, Thomas Carl Parton, or D, Carl Dean Johnson?
Carl Dean.
That's Carl Dean.
Carl Dean.
Carl Dean.
D. How about we go D?
It was Carl Dean Thomas, right?
No.
Carl Thomas Dean?
We don't even have the right.
We don't even have the right.
No, it's B. She called him Carl Dean.
Oh, Carl Thomas Dean.
Okay, there.
I think we
have the right
hand.
Carl Dean, yeah.
He was her CD.
Okay, here we go.
Number four.
What is that?
And he got that right.
Three for three.
Stuart J. Wattles is crushing our Dolly Parton quiz.
It gets harder as we go on.
Here we go.
OK.
What is the name of Dolly Parton's theme park?
Wee!
Theme
park in
Tennessee.
Is it A. Dolly, would it be Smokey Mountain Wood?
You're saying these all wrong.
A was Dolly Land.
I thought Smokey Mountain Wood would have sounded better than World.
Cause you know, it's like a, you know, all right.
See Dollywood or D part and park.
It should be part and park, but I'm going to go see.
Lock it in.
Dollywood baby.
All right.
Four for four.
Before it was Dollywood.
She bought it.
It was an existing amusement park called Silver Dollar City, but Dolly bought in in the early eighties and they rebranded.
Oh,
wow.
Dollywood now and Dollywood forever.
Oh, that's good to know.
Okay.
Yeah.
I was just, I read that because I'm very sophomoric and I wrote a script later where the guy's last name was Longwood, so I had to work out what, I had to work what in the, we've got a stream comment from Sidney Politics says, Jesus, I thought you were doing this because Dolly passed away.
LOL,
she's still good.
I don't want to do that to anybody, I apologize.
Sidney, no,
we could take it quick, doesn't have to be a death.
I mean, come on, thank you for the comment.
Celebrate Dolly.
Right.
Celebrate her while she's alive.
Exactly.
Number five.
What year did Dollywood open its doors?
A, 2025, B, 1946, C, 1986, or D, 2001?
That's going to be 86.
But as I said prior, Silver Dollar City existed, I believe in 81, 82.
They started carving up that mountain in Pigeon Forge.
Fantastic.
I love it.
Number six.
Stuart is five for five, by the way.
For those of you scoring at home, and I'm sure you all are.
In the film, Steel Magnolias, what was Dolly Parton's profession?
Was it A, Nurse, B, Chef, C, Salon Owner, D, Librarian, or F, Welder?
What F?
No, she owned the salon.
Oh, very well done.
Do these get harder?
Because I think they
are getting a little bit harder.
Stuart does
have kids.
He probably wants to.
OK.
Number seven.
Dolly Parton starred opposite Sylvester Stallone in which 1988?
Which 1984, Cody?
A, Urban Cowboy, B, Rhinestone, C, Country Strong, or D, The Singing Stallion?
Yeah, it's Rhinestone.
I like the Singing Stallion, though.
I might have seen that one once.
That's on my list.
Wasn't that Sylvester Stallone before he became a big movie star?
Or was that the one I was called?
He's the Italian Stallion.
Is that what it was?
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
It was an adult film, right?
He was an adult film,
right?
He was an adult film, right?

He
He'd be Cobra fan.
Was that the one where he had the match in his mouth?
He always
kept the match in his mouth.
Stopper, my mom will shoot.
Was he in that one, too?
Oh,
yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah, that was garbage.
Copland was
good, though.
He was good in Copland.
Copland was good.
Yeah, but it makes it, I mean, Rocky, it gives him the car to do whatever he wants.
He made all those
Rocky movies.
He kind of opened with a showstopper, which is probably not very smart, but hey, what are you going to do?
You don't know that at the time.
All right, back to our Dolly Parton quiz.
Number, Stuart is seven for seven, by the way, and this quiz shows no sign of let up in sight for me or Conrad.
Number eight, in Rhinestone, what is Dolly's character trying to teach Sylvester Stallone's character to do?
A, ride a horse, B, cook southern food, B, a C, be a country singer, or D, open a bar?
I think it's C, but it's been a while since I've seen that one, yeah.
God, even though when he hasn't seen it in a while, he crushes.
Yeah.
All right, number nine, Stuart is eight for eight.
This is embarrassing, Conrad.
You should be ashamed of
yourself.
I blame ChatGPT, OK?
You know what?
I noticed these answers aren't as funny because ChatGPT is not funny.
You used to put outlandish stuff on here.
We're done with ChatGPT.
I got to make the questions myself.
Yeah, absolutely.
OK, here we go.
Number nine, what is the name of the character Dolly played in StrayTalk in 1992?
Was it A, Daisy Lou, B, Shirley West, C, Shirley Kenyon, D, Maggie Bell?
I think this is going to be the first loss.
I'm just going to say A, but I'm not confident in it.
Stuart
argh
when Charlie out it was C. Shirley Kenyon
Nothing to be ashamed of them all,
huh?
No, you're doing you're you're doing great.
You're embarrassing.
No questions about Kenny, huh?
Oh, that's what I thought when I was a kid.
I thought Kenny and Dolly were married Hold on a second.
I know we do.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's just jump right
there.
Okay.
Number 13 if you will Dolly Parton Coast are with Kenny Rogers on which famous duet a you light up my life be the dance
Sea islands in the stream.
D. Endless love.
It's islands in the stream.
Yes.
They also do a great Christmas song.
Christmas to remember.
They did a Christmas special in the early 80s.
That's right.
You can pull that up on YouTube.
That's a seasonal thing in our household.
I forgot all about that one.
And I need some Christmas material.
All right.
We got to squeeze a couple.
The quiz was only 13.
So that was the last question.
Let's bounce back here.
You know, that's about.
seven more than I thought it should be.
There's a lot of questions
there.
Well, you're just so entertaining.
We just thought we
would
prolong this.
It's Friday.
Give us
a
break.
Number 11, what was the name of Dolly Parton's first country hit single?
A. Jolene.
B. Coat of many colors.
C. Dumbland.
D. Here you come again.
I
think Jolene came before Coat of many colors, but I'm not 100%, but I'm going to say let's go.
Jolene, let's lock it in.
Erg.
the pirate voice
means.
The money colors came in first.
Since you embarrassed us so much, we're gonna end it on that note, Stuart.
You just crushed the
quiz.
Dude, always fun.
Keep up the great work.
Outstanding to see you, buddy.
Good seeing you, too.
All right, that's Stuart J. Walsh.
You got it, buddy.
Check out his work.

He is always great to have on the show.
Let's get through some of these texts.
Question of the night, folks.
It's a good one.
It's National Love Your Lunch Day.
So the question is, what's in your sack lunch?
You can go back to childhood.
You can tell us what you bring to work now.
There are no right or wrong answers.
Jim from Appleton, he's in the 920.
He says, I was a Packers fan all through the 70s and 80s.
We had such memorable quarterbacks like Jerry, Randy Wright.
John Nales got carbon to the best one and still my favorite was Lynn Dickey Where where where did this come from?
Is that when you're talking about the Packers?
Yeah, you know long of my that bar far behind
I mean Jim was you know through the bad Packer years, too
Yeah, he was he's
he's a he's a Packers fan.
Well, he just said his favorite is Lynn Dickey I mean that poor guy.
I mean, that's just a cool name
it is
It's not as good as John Longwood.
Thank you, Jim.
Monica from Mount Horrib says, took to the office Monday, cantaloupe, tomatoes, and green peppers all from my garden.
Oh, man, that sounds good.
And cheese and crackers, nor not from my garden.
You don't grow cheese and crackers in your garden, Monica?
No, I don't.
I think we need a special plant.
I thought you had a green thumb.
Alright, thank you Monica in the 608 Jim from Appleton again my sack lunch all through school and the first 10 years of work was two slices of big bologna
It's just a funny word,
you know, I bologna
That's what it should
I know it's you know
I like that
one slice of cheese and miracle whip and apple and a can of RC Cola That is old-school, baby.
I can't stand big bologna anymore
Big baloney anymore.
I still like apples and an RC Cola though.
That's awesome, Jim.
Thank you.
John from Madison says, good evening, Peter and Conrad.
Love you guys.
Thanks for the great shows every night.
Oh, thank you, John.
How outstanding do you hear that?
I got the chills, Conrad.
I just got a chill.
I felt it too.
Grab my shawl out of the car.
John also says Manix and Beretta are both a great revisit.
I don't think I could do Beretta just because...
He turned out Robert Blake turned out to be such a creep and I'd live Three blocks from the restaurant where he shot his wife in the car That was so weird But I do remember watching Beretta and I did like it Manics on the other hand All over that buddy John says how I met is a must watch for humans.
I agree.
He limits it to humans though I don't know what to make of that.
I don't know.
I think dogs would like it
too Mark for prairie to sack says nine to five.
Yeah
A little dolly talk there.
Love it, Mark.
Thank you.
Melissa from Willy Street in Madison says, hi, guys.
Just a suggestion here.
I love this con.
You should do a push notification for the question of the night on the app.
Can we do that?
I'll get my tools.
Do you have push capabilities?
You've been working
out.
Maybe if I get my tools.
All right.
Get the tools.
I think there's a slide rule over there.
Whatever.
Just let's do that.
That's a great suggestion.
Thank you, Melissa.
John, Melissa's other half.
I won't say better half.
Maybe is maybe is I don't know best-pack lunch mom's PB and J and Scooby thermos of chicken noodle soup Wow John's mom loved them two chocolate milks and a cup of fruit cocktail obviously I Don't know if that's obvious John, but yeah, all right.
How are you feeling about fruit cocktails?
I mean if it's not as healthy as fruit
But I'll eat it, it's probably better than a little Debbie snack cake.
That, I mean, the sugar is, you know, it could replicate a little Debbie snack cake.
Yeah, no, go
on, it's probably true.
John says 70s pack lunch was amazing because moms were so competitive.
Oh, that's interesting.
Dave, who is usually on the stream, but texting us old school tonight says butter bread with government cheese.
Nothing like it.
Yeah, baby.
The butter bread, I'll take that.
You know, I used to like butter bread, but now it has to be toasted for me.
It's kind of weird just butter on In fact,
it's toasted and there's some butter on it.
Then I'm like, you know what?
Good
even if you're at a fish fry.
It's kind of gross
Wait, I forgot.
I love rye bread.
So I don't agree with that The rye bread with the with the butter and onions dynamite
Alright, before we bring our pal Terry Barron, because it is a Barman Friday night, folks.
We are going to play a clip that I think is really funny, this comedian Gary Gaulman.
He's the guy, and we'll play this one night on this show.
He does the state abbreviation bit, which is maybe the funniest bit I've ever heard, but it's like five minutes long.
But tonight, here's a little taste of Gary
Gaulman.
They feel safe around each other, accepting, they're accepting of non-conforming gender roles and identities.
And I grew up at a time, the definition of manhood was so narrow.
You were either Clint Eastwood or you were Richard Simmons.
There was nothing in between.
There were no Paul Rudds.
No kind-eyed Mark Ruffaloes.
You had to be so hard.
Mark Rufalo
Rufalo.
I love it.
That's a Boston thing.
I he's right though I remember that thinking you know I liked when there was a little bit less testosterone in the world it lasted a little while now it's back to craziness but like Where I grew up my neighborhood where we grew up if you got hot or overheated in the summer you did not wear shorts
That meant you were soft.
You wore blue jeans, and if you got hot, you took your shirt off, your t-shirt, and you tucked it in your back pocket.
So we look like numbskulls walking around with no shirt and pants.
And when I moved to Wisconsin, kind of, I'm not kidding.
Everybody, like, people were, they were kind of ahead of the time.
People wore shorts.
I was like, this is not too bad.
I mean, I wear shorts in the winter, so.
I know you do.
You got longs on tonight, though.
What's going on there?
You know, laundry day?
I got this package.
Pause I Ordered this this you know one of my favorite brands phabletics I Ordered and they said it was gonna be here next Thursday.
Okay,
but it showed up today
So you were excited or I thought maybe you didn't have shorts on hand.
You know it It also could be laundry day, but I was excited
Bottom line, Conrad's wording pants, which is always a good thing.
We are coming right back with Terry Barr.
It is a Barbie on Friday night, folks.
Stay with us, half hour to go, and then we are officially at the weekend.
It's Peach Wabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio
Network.
Time to check out original music with Bar Band Friday on Nightlight.
Now your host, Pete Schwabba and special guest, Terry Barr.
All right, here we go.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for Bar Band Friday night.
And that means every Friday, just about every Friday, our pal Terry Barr joins us with new music, fun conversation, and it's just an all around swell time, even though I can't, can't read the screen is out again.
Oh, no.
You need the tool.
I cannot see Terry.
The tools.
I don't know what to do.
Terry, can you see me?
I can hear
you.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's all we need, right?
It's radio for God's sakes.
Yeah, okay.
How are you tonight?
I am good, Pete.
How are you and Conrad?
Doing very well.
And I'll speak for Conrad because I know he's doing well because I can see him through the glass.
I wish I could see you, but I'm sure you're doing well.
Are you at home tonight?
Are you at a show?
What's happening?
No, this fine evening, I'm happy to be at home.
And when you and I are done, I think I'm going to take a peek at that Brewer's game.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
Did you hear?
You did hear Mike Clemens last night because you texted or you dropped us a stream comment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love when Mike is on any of our shows,
but
you guys were really fun.
He's just a great guy.
I love
him.
He is.
Isn't he the best?
He doesn't even cover my team.
The stories
behind the scenes are so interesting.
Oh, yeah.
How about that one about Pat Murphy?
I love that story.
Oh, my gosh.
He is so much fun.
All right.
So, Terry, I have to ask you, do you have a...
a sack lunch.
Do you remember what you brought to school or what do you bring to work like nowadays?
Because that's our question of the night.
It's National Love Your Lunch Day.
Yeah.
Um, you will laugh.
When I was a kid, we were not allowed to take a, you know, the sack lunch.
We had to eat hot lunch.
Oh,
that's
not too bad
though, is it?
But when my grandmother would stay with us, if my parents were away, she would let us take a sack lunch because we thought that was really cool.
You know what?
So
what did we have?
I think it was often my grandmother's peanut butter and jelly, but she was a big baker.
So we'd always have like these really great cookies or bars or something that we could take with us.
And that's when the other kids were jealous of what we were having.
Isn't that great when the other kids are jealous of you?
Of
your sack lunch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, honestly, when I was a kid, my best friend in the neighborhood was this Italian kid.
big Italian family and his mom used to make these, I mean, these meals were incredible.
And that, but that's all she did all day was cook.
And my mom would make like tuna noodle casserole, you know, she had five kids in six years, she's just put anything out there to feed us.
And it was fine.
But I was always a little envious of the other kids.
And if they had their windows open next to you and in the home next to you, I bet you could smell
that
coming out of the kitchen.
Absolutely.
It smelled amazing.
Oh, that is so beautiful.
And the worst thing was, and it was kind of this way at school too, we never got soda.
Like my mom, you know, my friend, they would always have like Pepsi bottles on the table and we never got to do, we never got to do soda.
No, we had to have milk.
Yeah.
But
sometimes with the hot lunch, you would drink your milk.
And if you hated what you had for hot lunch, you would put some of it in the milk carton and throw it away.
We
had hot lunch.
I didn't
want to get caught with that on my plate and get in trouble.
Exactly.
When we when I went to when I moved to Wisconsin, I went to Marina Catholic Central High School.
They had a hot lunch there and it was in the gym.
And I remember the public school saying, oh, we have a choice.
It's like pasta or a burger or tacos, like all this stuff.
And we had to kind of eat what was served to us.
And they used to serve us like something called hot dish, which I didn't know.
I was like, what?
That's not even a food.
What are you hot dish?
Yeah.
It's like casserole.
In a
part, you still can't figure out what it is.
We would always
call them the lunch ladies.
What are the lunch ladies doing right now?
I don't know.
They were awesome.
I did love the
lunch.
It's
fun to talk about now.
Totally.
Hey, this is great.
All right, we are, I feel like I told Conrad, this is my first full week in like three weeks because of circumstances.
So it's great to have you here.
Let's jump into some music.
Who should we talk about first, Harry?
Let's start with Taylor, only because he's one of those musicians where he's been around a really long time, but he's been, again, we've had a couple of these where we've talked about the voice kind of went quiet for a while.
He has some new music out again, and we're going to hear it right here.
All right, let's hear Taylor.
Am I seeing it?
Is it Sherrick?
Yeah, exactly.
He's from the Madison area and this is his brand new song and it's called out to play.
Love
it.
Isolating feels like fading deep into a hole Feeling energy I haven't felt in ages Because we all were trapped inside a dirty cave
to see I crack as my
like starting over fresh.
I want to say maybe I've either heard him on Max, Inc.
radio before or you've talked about him here.
I know I've heard him before.
He I'm a huge fan.
Yeah.
Well, and his band is his family, which I think is amazing and they don't play out a lot.
They've been quiet for a little while.
If you want to hear an entire show, though, with Taylor.
They were recently on Maxingradio with us the podcast yeah
go to civicmedia.us Maxingradio and check it out.
Yeah, he's I love him and I saw that in his bio he performs with his uncle his uncles like the
drummer, bass player or something like that.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
And then his dad will join him on lead guitar very often.
So that little, uh, woo guitar you heard, that's his dad.
That's really cool.
He also has, I saw, I found this, he has a cover band called the Foo Foo Dolls.
Yes,
that is
right.
Yeah.
And they're, yes, total cover band.
They do a lot of, uh, 90s and I'm wondering now that we're talking about him.
I think this project.
the Fufu Dalles, even though it's covers, I think that's pulled him away more from the family band.
You know, what do you do?
You're getting booked as the foo foo dolls.
You do it, right?
Yeah, and if you're not getting booked as much with your original music But I'm so happy that we can share it with you.
It's surprising too because his original music is really good But you're right you get you get paid.
I mean if they're throwing money at you It's tough not to get especially 90s music right now is so huge.
It's like with the 70s when we were growing up or the 60s
Um, let's do, uh, all right.
So your next artist is Adam Gruhl.
Am I saying that right?
You are.
Love this guy.
He's got many different bands, Terry.
I'll just, his music, he's got, he's part of a progressive bluegrass band called horseshoes and hand grenades.
Love that.
He also has a band called the space burritos and the high hawks.
Tell us about Adam Gruhl.
This guy is amazing and I interviewed him.
I want to say maybe a year ago and He's from Central, Wisconsin He is over in the driftless now because he loves to fish
and his
two favorite things are fishing and music and When I interviewed him he said Terry I have got it all now.
My life is wonderful.
I do the two things.
I love the most
That is really, I mean you could do a lot
worse.
It's our goal, right?
To
find that.
Absolutely.
Why don't we play his song now and let it take us to the break and then we'll wrap up and say a couple things about us, a couple great things about Adam Grewle.
Does that sound good, Terry?
Sounds great.
One thing, if people have seen Charlie Barron's, Adam opens as a solo artist for Charlie Barron's when Charlie is out doing his comedy.
Oh, that's so cool.
That's so interesting because you don't hear that.
Usually it's the comedian first.
Right.
Right?
I mean, that's kind of an interesting choice.
Where is he based out of, Terry?
He is now in the Driftlist area.
So that's like the
Verroqua area.
Yeah, Southwest Wisconsin.
Has he been on Max Inc Radio?
He was on as an interview with me and he played live on both ends of our interview during the pandemic.
And then I did another interview with him about a year ago, but he is so busy with all of these bands, and he travels all over the place.
We have not been able to get him settled down, should I say, on a Saturday
night to
join us.
What about does he have a show coming up that we know?
Oh, here's what we'll do.
We're going to do a quick break because we kind of ran short on time.
And I have no screen.
I can't see time.
Conrad's just flashing me fingers, and I can't tell if he's being obscene or actually telling me what to do.
Be careful, Conrad.
We'll do a quick break.
We'll come back and listen to Adam Gruhl and we'll wrap up with our pal Terry Barr on a bar band Friday night as Peach Wabba and Night Light.
We're coming right
back.
Welcome
back.
Counter is almost the weekend.
Terry Barr is here.
This is the way you kick off a weekend, folks.
I feel bad for all of you that you don't get to take Terry Barr, who helps us launch into the weekend every week.
Terry Barr is here at the Barbie on Friday night.
We were talking about the artist.
Adam gruel and anything else you need to tell us before we hear this song.
I love this progressive blue I
want everybody to put this on their calendar and it means you got to move fast
Okay,
Adam and his band the space burritos Headlining the friends of Rapids music festival tomorrow.
Oh, no way
Rapids Robin Park starts at noon goes to 9 p.m.
And it's free music all day including a
polka band.
For those prices, you can't afford not to go.
That is outstanding.
All right, here is our second feature of the night here on Bar Band Friday night, Adam Gruel.
I hope the muskier in the sweet northern lights shine in your bedroom and wake you up at night.
I hope the band's still playing When it's bar time And I hope that you know Not all lyrics need to rhyme I hope there's still dither beers When my nephew's 21 I hope there's still cold water In the cedar run I hope you don't get so low But you don't give a damn
And I wish I could take your pain
Adam Gruhl, compliments of Terry Barr.
Great song.
Isn't that wonderful?
He's got a great voice.
Oh, he's got such a good voice.
Yeah.
And I love the line where he says you can learn that songs don't all have to rhyme.
That
is outstanding, Terry, Baton 1000.
As always, thank you for bringing us this music every week.
It's just so much fun to talk to you and to hear new tunes.
It's outstanding.
Thank you.
My pleasure.

My thanks to Stuart Waddles.
Always fun to talk to Stuart and Terry Barr.
Thank you for all your texts and calls and helping us make our Friday that much more lovely.
It's been a lot of fun here on Night Light Tonight on behalf of the lovable producer Conrad.
I'm Pete Schwabba.
Have a great weekend.
Good night,
Wisconsin.
Just a step on the
I'm Pete Schwab, and this is Nightlight.
Great to have you with me on this Tuesday night.
That is a song, Hurricane, by Bob Dylan, that we'll talk about with our current guest in just a few minutes.
He is Trapper Shep, a Wisconsin-based singer-songwriter, and we are proud to call him a Wisconsinite.
We were talking about your song, Loaded.
and you mentioned you got Mark Borchart in the video, and I was saying that I would love to have him on the show.
He's a good friend, but he just doesn't want to do it.
What did you have to do to get him out of retirement when it comes to being on camera?
Oh, I don't know.
Mark's a neighbor in a pal.
Oh, nice.
So it wasn't too much of a stretch, but yeah, I'm not sure, to
be
honest.
But he's a great personality and great source of inspiration and energy in the community.
And I don't know, I think he's drawn to projects that interest him.
And he's just a great guy, so.
Could not agree more.
All right, well, without further ado, let's hear.
This is off the album Osborne, Trapper Shep's latest work, and it's called Loaded, and it is a great song.
Doctor said me, do you, do you, do you, do you make any money?
You know I hook a song on the radio, the one that starts fast but ends kinda slow.
like a tambourine where I won't hit ought to be a crime the whole world should know your face on a truth
That was loaded.
A great song by my current guest, Mr. Trapper Shep, a Milwaukee-based singer-songwriter who has collaborated with some great people and put out really excellent material.
Trapper, do you have a song when you tour or when you play live that people want to hear the most or request the most?
Oh, I wish I had a big hit like that, man.
No, there are certain tunes though from from back in the day and on Wisconsin you mentioned that people like to hear that in Wisconsin I suppose right but Yeah, I don't know.
I'm not sure you'd have to ask the people
Well, we will get Rick Conrad take a memo.
Let's get on that and find out what people's favorite song is of trappers Trapper you mentioned on Wisconsin a great song and I don't know that
I'm sure most of the people know the story behind this and how you you kind of found this song and finished it.
But it was a song written by Bob Dylan, but not quite finished like 50 years ago.
And it's called on Wisconsin.
You finished it.
Can you tell us a little bit about that process, how you found the song and what made you want to finish it?
Indeed.
Well, you know, Bob Dylan was one of my my childhood heroes for one.
He sort of
invented what I do in a sense.
He's one of the greats, no doubt.
And in 1960, on the day he was recording his first album, he wrote a song just called Wisconsin.
And it was like four verses.
And it did not make the cut on that first album.
And 57 years later, I was scrolling through the internet.
And his older roommate had posted just this sheet of lyrics as like a relic, you know, a novelty item for auction, $30,000.
And I thought, well, it's sort of in the tradition of folk music to sort of pick up where one generation is left off.
So I took it upon myself without his permission to
Finish the song so I set it to music we added a chorus my band I Did a great job playing it all together and then we put it out there on the internet and Eventually rolling stone took notice and billboard took notice you eventually took notice and Bob Dylan's lawyers took notice too and It was good though.
They said how would you feel about?
You know publishing this song with Bob Dylan for the very first time and I said I feel really good about that so Yeah, that that was kind of how it happened.
That's the spark notes Version of course.
Yeah Yeah, it was it was cool.
It was a trip and I kind of share a co-writing credit with that songwriting giant like that is it's pretty cool
It's incredible.
And did you see Blowing in the Wind?
Or the movie?
The movie, yeah.
What was it called?
The new movie, A Complete Unknown, you mean?
Oh, I'm sorry.
A Complete Unknown,
yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think the kid did a good job.
Yeah.
A tall order.
A tall order.
Absolutely.
I want to ask you, I mentioned sometimes how you do, you know, you write stuff that fall, could fall into different genres.
For someone like you, who is truly, you know, not pigeonholed into one genre or one type of music, is it harder to find a producer who has a grasp of what you're looking for?
Or is it easier because of kind of the uniqueness of your material?
Well, I think it's easier to find a producer, it's harder to find an audience for it, right?
Because
When things aren't easily understood in this world that likes categories, it can be challenging to find where it's going to be heard.
But I just got off a call with a music supervisor type who places things in TV and film.
And I just did a whole album of pop songs for more TV and film.
commercial work.
And that's so specific, right?
But I think my albums tend to go where they want to go.
And there's good and bad in that, I suppose.
But yeah, I think it's maybe easier for a country artist because it's like, hey, I'm country.
And
I'm like, hey, I'm trapper.
I'm not sure what I am.
You know what I mean, so.
Absolutely.
Pros and cons, I
guess.
My guest is Trapper Shep.
He is a Milwaukee-based singer-songwriter who has collaborated with Bob Dylan, and we are going to hear that song in just a minute.
So we've got about a minute.
We'll get the song going, Trapper, and I think we'll let it just take us to the break, and we'll come back and wrap things up afterwards.
But aside from Bob Dylan, you've got so many great influences.
Who else do you like to work
with?
Who do I like to work with?
Well, the latest producer is a fellow named Mike Viola, who's really the power pop gem of a producer.
And he wrote and sang that song, That Thing You Do, famously, but his albums are really cool in his own right.
He's kind of a shape shifter songwriter guy as well So yeah, he's great to work with we worked with Pat from the band Wilco on an album I did at Johnny Cash's cabin.
She's a whole other story
Wow,
but um Yeah, so Yeah, I've been fortunate.
I guess
well,
this is great to connect with people
Yeah, we're gonna, all right, we're gonna play the song on Wisconsin.
This is the song that Trapper finished for Bob Dylan.
He was like the lefty out of the bullpen and it's a great song.
We'll take this to the break.
We'll come back and wrap things up with our pal Trapper Shep.
It's Peach Wabbit and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
Yeah, Wisconsin is a dairy steak, as you all know it well.
I was in Wauwatosa.
The truth, I will tell.
It's a milk and cheese and cream.
Yes, I've known it all my days.
And I'm going back to my hometown.
I'm leaving right away.
I'm headed to Wisconsin 2000.
I'm coming to that state and my heart's beating fast and I'll jerk my banjo gently and twiddle my mustache on Wisconsin on Wisconsin
On Wisconsin I think I'm going to stay The thoughts I left there long ago Runs are coming out, it seems I'll tune my banjo in the hills And feast on milk and cream
Yes, my home's in Wauwatosa and I'm
With your city ways are driving me insane to drink My home's in Wisconsin It's a better place, I think
I'm Pete Schwab, and this is Night Light.
You've got the Civic Media Radio Network for a few more minutes here on this Tuesday edition of Night Light.
My guest is Trapper Shep, Milwaukee-based singer-songwriter.
And what you just heard before the break was the song On Wisconsin that he collaborated with Bob Dylan, ladies and gentlemen.
That is the Bob Dylan, not the guy named Bob Dylan from Wausau.
This is the actual Bob Dylan.
Great song, Trapper.
Really enjoyed that.
Thank you.
I'd be curious to know what Bob Dylan from Wausau has up his sleeve as well.
He is no slouch.
I'll tell you that.
You might just look at his lyrics.
That's all I'm saying.
So this is fun.
You've got, I did some research on you.
I read this article that said, you hurt yourself in a biking accident.
And that's when you started playing guitar.
And I love the moment when I talk to artists that they can look back on and say, that's when it all started.
Is that when it all started for you was when you got that first guitar?
And if not, when was that moment for you where you were like, I'm doing this?
Yeah, I think it was probably, yeah, I herniated the disc in my back.
My mom said, here, you should maybe try this.
It could be safer than hurling yourself off giant dirt jumps and breaking your back.
So yeah, I would say that was...
the defining moment and you know, I was listening to a Watching a movie in my basement in the song hurricane by Bob Dylan came on that you played earlier and there was that like a Minor chord and it just was like boom, you know the the man Bob telling that story was such conviction and his voice wasn't perfect and I thought
Wow, maybe I could sing a song too.
I don't you know my voice doesn't have to be be dialed See I think I think definitely hearing his music at a young age had a big impact on me
Wow, that's great.
And you're very similar to him too I mean I'm not a music expert or anything, but you you seem to take chances with lyrics you use humor to win your songs
Does that just, when you're writing a song, is that just the way things kind of transpire?
Or do you set out to say, this song, I have a funny idea.
I want to put this in a song.
How does it work for you?
Yeah, I think in, you know, you need a balance in your music, the darkness and the light.
Sure.
And yeah, I think humor is always a good solution when you're stuck.
in maybe a darker subject in the song, you're lighting things up.
Even if people don't pick up on it, you pick up on it or the guy who's got to sing it.
Sure.
I noticed you, I love your song, Wildfire too, that was one of the songs I found online.
And you said you were influenced a little bit by Bruce Springsteen as he kind of, where do you put him in terms of legendary songwriters?
Well, he's the boss, right?
All right.
I guess he's the boss.
I love what John Stewart, I think, said about, you know, Bob Dylan at least, or Bruce Springsteen.
It was like if Bob Dylan and James Brown had a love child, it would come out as a Bruce Springsteen.
No, I just love Bruce's lyrics and I think he has a great spirit about him.
You know, he's been through so much and he's had so many different chapters and he's really honest and vulnerable with his lyrics and just the way he carries himself.
So yeah, I think there's a lot to aspire to with the boss.
Indeed.
Just curious, but have you ever heard his Devils and Dust
album?
Oh yeah, I love that.
Me
too.
That's a beautiful one.
It's like right up there with Nebraska as far as I'm concerned.
The lyrics are absolutely incredible.
My guest is Trapper Shep.
You can see him at...
The Burroke in Madison, September 26th for an album release party or September 27th in Milwaukee at Vavarium.
I hope I'm saying that right.
Before we let you go, Trapper, we got about a minute or two left.
I talk about movies and TV a lot on this show as well as comedy and music.
Are you binge watching anything that you could recommend?
Big time.
I'm on my first.
first tried through the X files right now.
Oh, wow.
With
Mulder and Scully at the wheel.
Yeah.
So I don't know, I don't need to recommend that to anyone, but I love it.
I just, I think it's super funny and Mulder is just like, you know, wild man detective, always, always pushing the envelope and he's always
you know, against the system, against the man, he's looking for the truth.
And that's harder to find these days, the truth.
So, yeah, I dig it.
He's cool.
That's a great show.
I love the first few seasons and it seemed to kind of taper off, but boy, it was just great.
It was so creepy and same.
I love Dave
DiCaldi.
Don't tell me it gets worse.
I want it to get better.
I believe it will.
as they find the
truth.
Oh man, I thought that was about as unspoiler alert as I could be, but I apologize if you find yourself getting bored watching the X-Files.
You won't for a very long time.
It's a great show.
Trapper, thank you so much for your time and sharing your music with us.
I hope we could do this again sometime.
I'm a huge fan.
The truth is out there, trust no one.
And it's in Trapper Shep's music, so check it out and check him out in Madison or Milwaukee on September 26 and 27.
Thank you, buddy.
Yeah, thank you.
You're very welcome Conrad we finally made that happen.
We've been trying to get trapped around yes Not like harassing him or anything, but I know Terry Barr introduced us to him and his music is fantastic fun interview very fun guy
and incredibly talented, obviously.
All right, we got a great show tomorrow night too, folks.
I hope you come back and visit us tomorrow night where we will have actor Mike McGill from Bosch and Shameless and comedian and syndicated columnist Greg Schwem will be here.
My thanks to Trapper Shep and to you, the listener for all your texts and calls.
Been a fun night here on Nightlight.
On behalf of the lovable producer Conrad, I'm Pete Schwabba saying good night,
Wisconsin.
I saw him leaving, he says and he stops One of us said better call up the cops
So
our question of the night is, what is your favorite musical performance in a movie?
And Everett from Sun Prairie says, man of constant sorrow, the soggy bottom boys and Oh brother were out there.
That is a great one.
I actually thought of that earlier today.
And I meant to write it down and I didn't.
Good one.
Thank you, Everett.
John Murray, Purple Rain was an amazing display of musical talent.
Totally agree.
And Dave on the stream says, the opera music in Shawshank.
And that is great music.
I think it's called The Marriage of Figaro.
And it is so beautifully used in that movie.
I totally agree, Dave.
Dave also says, stop singing Pete.
Is that the name of a song or is he making a request?
I think he's saying you just can't do it anymore.
All right.
And then Mark from Prairie to Sex says, an animated short that came the Incredibles 2 bow bow is really charming.
Oh, I'm not aware of that.
Thank you, Mark.
Hey, Mike Clemens is here.
Folks, he is in the studio.
I just took his picture through the window.
He was excited about it.
It was fun for all of us, but he is joining us here in the studio to talk.
Yeah, but we had some
women walking by and whispered to each other, what the hell is this guy
doing?
What the hell's going on?
They walked out right before you got out there and I started pointing like this, thinking it was going to be you.
And they were like, what?
Like they thought I was telling them what to do.
It's good to have you here, Mike.
So we were talking about Jim Brown and you said you got to sit next to him.
That's pretty cool.
But yeah, and you know, it's the longer I get into this I you know, just you just the best way to when you're around those kinds of folks is just stay in the moment, right?
Yeah.
Oh gee Jim Brown.
I signed the dirty dozen.
I remember all these movies.
And you read their there.
What's that IMBD thing?
Yeah, you know, yeah, the yeah.
Yes, I know.
Yes.
That's right.
Thank
you.
I did a movie.
Thank you.
Yeah, right.
I mean,
You know, I've, you know, get friendships, if you will, with some of these guys when they just say, do you know where the elevators are?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Just stay in the moment.
Yeah.
Or make an off beat, something that's not
about your career or whatever, you know, great socks that always works for me.
I mean, you can end up going to lunch with them at some point, you know, and then you can get into it.
Sure.
But, you know, don't turn it into an interview.
Just make a contact.
I didn't realize I just pulled him
up.
He just died in 2023.
I thought he passed away like in 2015 or something, but no, just a couple of years ago.
All right.
So, Mike, what is going on?
The Packers are 2 and 0 and off to an incredible start.
And I think probably they might have been 2 and 0 with or without Micah Parsons, maybe, but does this, I told Conrad and I were talking about this and I said, I don't know if Micah Parsons gets you to the Super Bowl, but it.
probably makes you the favorite for the division and my way off there.
I don't know because in these two games, and then you look at the, what they call the all 22, you know, from the end, I can't get over how Jeff Haffley, the defensive coordinator is rushing for, maybe it brings a fifth guy, but they're all coming so fast.
And what usually happens is with each play or every other play, one guy,
breaks through, but it's breaking down these pockets of the Lions and now the commanders.
And then it turns into a jailbreak, but the speed at which they're hitting is.
And you just say, is it Micah Parsons?
Is it because offenses are the quarterback, starting with the quarterback is so concerned where number one is.
And by the way, that number, when you're up in the press box on game day,
It looks like a big dorsal fin coming out of this guy.
I mean, he looks like a shark out there.
I mean, you can see him from all over the stadium, from the highest points, that big number one, and when he comes out of the field, puts down, puts his hand down, the play starts, and you can see him just stick out in between all the players and quickly wiggle his way around, and all of a sudden, he's hurrying the quarterback.
It's unbelievable.
So is that making the whole defense or is it the effort or is it, you know, maybe the boring explanation is it's year two of the defense and they know where they're going.
They know what they're doing.
And that gets down to even Kway Walker, a first round pick out of Georgia in his, what, fourth year now, I think.
But, you know, Kway Walker says, look, here's the deal.
It's to the point now where half will,
give me the defensive call in my helmet.
Cause he's up in the press box and he can start with the first few words and I know what the situation is.
Okay.
Second and seven and I can complete the sentence for him.
So when you, when you don't have to think, right?
And now you can just totally react to the play, right?
Yeah.
You play two steps faster that way and you can go more on instinct and that's going to make your defense faster.
Now, you know,
I've pointed out to everybody.
Yeah.
Well, you know Vic Fangio was his first year in Philadelphia as the defensive coordinator.
How'd that work out?
They won the Super Bowl.
He's great.
Yeah.
And they crushed everybody.
Right.
They had a tremendous roster.
True.
They had a tremendous roster where they beat the Chiefs with just four down linemen led by that Jalen Carter, big dude there on the line.
The guy who spit on Dak Prescott that night.
Which supposedly Dak Prescott
got spit on him first.
Is that not true?
It's a whole Zabruder film.
You know, it's like the Seinfeld.
By way of Seinfeld, yeah.
It was a magic luge.
A magic luge.
Keith
Hernandez.
Yeah.
But that's the difference in this whole team is how the Packers defense is just dominating these games.
Yeah.
And now Jordan Love can sort of get into a groove.
But we got some breaking news here this afternoon.
They let us in this morning, Pete, and we watched the starter practice drills and all that.
And then they get to 11 on 11, and now they're gonna start working on day two of their game plan.
What do we do on second down?
What do we do on third down?
That's when we get kicked out.
They've got all these big tarps.
If you drive by Lambeau Field and the Hudson Center now, you see this big black tarps because of the Resh Center and the Expo Center that they got.
because they don't want people.
They can spy.
They spent a couple of million dollars on these extra, huge, large black tarpolines to block the view in there.
But they excuse us.
And then I, when practice is over, we go in the locker room, we're talking to players.
And I was in there for, I wouldn't want to play poker with these guys because I was talking to him about this Brown's rookie tight end.
It's Harold Finan, Jr.
He set an NFL record for the Browns with most receptions.
in an NFL debut for a tight end in the league.
Yeah.
It's a guy that, number 44, looked for him in Sunday's game with the Browns that, you know, the Packers defense are going to have to cover.
And I'm talking to some of the linebackers, but I say, this kid looks like the next Tucker Kraft, huh?
And they didn't blink.
And as soon as they close the locker room doors, about 15 minutes later, they slip a little thing to ESPN like, uh, Tucker Kraft, you know, had to leave practice today.
Oh, I know what it was.
The injury report came out and it said Tucker craft knee limited participation.
So then a call was put in and then the team responded.
Yeah, he had a knee.
It happened during practice today.
He's currently being evaluated.
We now the later reports from Ian Rappaport from NFL Network says, you know, this is the agent.
Yeah.
And we think he tweaked it, you know, it's not as serious.
We first, so they were concerned that he tore something today.
And now
you know, initial evaluations is a spring.
So Tucker Kraft, I imagine is not going to play this weekend, but maybe it's a two or three week thing.
Not season ending.
Okay.
Well, that's good.
So we have to, I want to ask you if you're okay with this, you posted something on the civic media chat, and I've had such a crazy busy week, I've just been glancing at things.
But what happened with the Bob Euker story?
Did we talk about this the other day, Con?
Pat Murphy.
Well, I'm just gonna let you tell the story.
I sent you guys some tape.
So here's what happens.
The Brewers clinch a spot in the playoffs.
And I thought this was so cool because it was Saturday night.
And Saturday night's game ends in like the 10th inning.
Another dramatic comfort behind win of the year, like they're 13th.
And they win nine to eight, okay?
And so after the game,
We knew some kind of celebration was going on before they opened up the clubhouse doors.
And Murph came out and did a press conference and he was asked, so did you guys have a little celebration in there that you clenched?
Yeah.
And he looks at the PR people from the team and goes, we shot a video, right?
Yeah, there'll be a video coming out later.
So I wait till one or two in the morning.
And the video is they've dimmed the new lighting they've got in the clubhouse.
and they're all raising champagne glasses.
So instead of that silly, you know, goggles and bottles of champagne spraying all over, when you haven't won the World Series, maybe you just got back in the playoffs, you won your division, which I think is kind of nonsense.
They've got this classy, they're raising a toast with champagne glasses, okay?
Right.
And it's quiet.
And Murph says, I've got a letter here.
I got this today from Bob, from Bob Uker, and I want to read it.
and it starts off with, hey guys, you know, and it's a greeting from heaven.
I'm on the ball team up here.
It's great.
There's no night games followed by day games, you know, and he's, you know, and he says, yeah, I'm the third catcher, but hey, it's still great.
So it's like a perfect yuker kind of thing.
And as he gets into it, at midway through it though, you hear Murphy say, so congratulations on your year.
you know, most road wins of the season.
He's reading on some stats, which clearly, okay?
But he finishes it, guys, but play for each other, play your best every day, and good luck moving on or whatever.
And he says, it's Bob Uker.
Now, I watch this thing like three or four times, because the team has labeled it that Pat Murphy reads a note from Bob Uker, just straightforward like that.
And I see Antanasio, the owner, at the start of this little ceremony, hand this note to Pat Murphy.
And people are asking, well, how could Euker have known what the stats were?
Right?
But as I look at it, it's like, you know, though, I could clearly see that Euker wrote a thing like, hey, if they get back in the playoffs, Mark, give this to the boys.
after I'm gone, just a generic note.
And Murphy's probably just ad-libbing the stats.
But it was all identified as this was from Bob.
And I could see, because he's got Antanasio handing him the notes, right?
So people were like ripping it and all this, because it was all kind of weird in a way.
So I reposted that and said, what I should have said is maybe that's what happened.
I just said,
to now see you handed this thing well it got a half a million views in about an hour oh my gosh a million it went major viral the teams went 1.2 million within an hour or two and that went all through Sunday they played a game Sunday they lost the game nobody asked Murphy about it and I'm like what's going on it wasn't until about six o'clock Monday night that they realized
Okay, we kind of created a monster here.
Because people wouldn't let it go.
So they said, the Brewers would like to let folks know.
We'd like to clarify that Bob didn't actually write the letter.
That's something that Pat wrote.
We just thought everybody would have picked up on that.
Like, no, no.
And that alone, if that's what it was, and that's what it was, if it was just Pat Murphy being creative and writing something in the voice of Bob Euker, that's touching too.
Right.
But after the week, the whole world had just had.
Yeah, right.
It just kind of think that maybe it was even more special that they had been holding on to something that Bob did as he knew that he was in his final months of his life and wanted to leave something behind.
Were some people upset?
Yeah.
It's Twitter, man.
Everybody got it.
Oh, God.
Say no more.
Oh, my God.
That's the voice of Mike Clements, folks.
He is here with us tonight.
Can you stick around?
Help us close
it down.
We got a couple of texts to read.
We'll finish up with Mike after this very short break.
It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
This is Night Light, I am Pete Schwabba.
Mike Clemmons is here in the studio.
Terry Barr just dropped us a stream comment and put Mike in all caps, my favorite sports guy.
Hi, Terry.
Could not agree more, Terry.
I am totally with you there.
She's here Friday night, right?
Friday night.
Barbie on Friday night is tomorrow night.
And I fully expect Mike to put Terry in all caps, my favorite music person.
Sure.
Sure.
Oh, with that?
You don't have enough on your plate, Mike, do you remember something like that?
Jim from Appleton in the 920 says, best song from a movie, children don't listen from into the woods.
Bernadette Peters, okay.
Did you, you remember the movie, The Jerk?
Steve Martin.
Bernadette Peters, I think is the one that sang the, if you like me, like I like you.
Like Steve Martin sang, picking out a thermos for you.
She's great.
She was great in The Jerk too.
Thank you, Jim, for the text.
Jim also says best movie of songs.
The Last Waltz, the band, and an all-star cast.
Nice, Jim.
Thank you.
Mark from Prairie to Sax says, Will Ferrell may not have sung the whole wide world, but it was still sweet.
What was that in?
Was that the movie that we just talked about before with Will Ferrell?
Yeah, I believe that is stranger than fiction.
Right, I have not seen that.
And then our last text here of the night, John from Madison says, stripes when Bill and company sing and perform the
bomb, bomb routine for the general army training, sir.
I love, you know, I'm sure you've seen stripes, Mike.
Been a long time, but yeah.
Been
a long time.
They, when they all fall asleep in the hangar after practicing all night, their March, and the one guy says, what time is it?
Two of them wake up, one says, what time is it?
Three o'clock.
The other one says, what time is graduation?
The guy says, two o'clock.
We still got an hour to sleep.
It's just beautiful.
All right.
So, Mike, what can we expect?
I mean, the Brewers are five games up.
They're going to win the division, obviously.
Are they at the, do you think they're peaking at the right time for the playoffs?
And Pat Murphy keeps things light, right?
Like that, I love that story you just told.
He seems like a great manager to play for.
He
expects
high expectations,
but he's this tremendous personality and not overbearing.
It's pretty much keeps it to baseball.
But it's these little jokes off to the side that keep it light and keep people on their toes.
That's just just the way he is.
I mean, he's kind of a former player himself.
And as I suggested to you earlier this summer, you know, when you would come in the clubhouse, it's like, oh, here's this celebrity.
Wow.
It just felt that way, right?
Yeah.
Now that he's not walking in anymore, there's the the class clown is the manager.
But it's a guy that decides if you get to play or not.
And there's just some sort of interesting dynamic because of that.
Because Murphy's almost as, no one could be as funny as Bob Euker ever was, ever.
But Merce pretty close in his own way, but he's also the boss.
So that keeps it light, but keeps them focused in terms of what they need to have for their confidence.
Quinn Priester is pitching tonight to start off the game.
He had five strikeouts.
The guys, I think they've won 12 in a row.
13 a row when he's on the mound.
So pitching, Brandon Woodruff looked good last night.
Freddie Peralta is still looking good.
And then this Quinn Priester.
So at least he got three to get you going into the playoffs.
But we got word yesterday from Murph that Trevor McGill, their closer, and not coming back so soon from this elbow injury, he's got this flexor.
And that's tough.
You know, they got Abner Uribe, they can use as a closer.
But that's not the best news.
Jose Quintana, who also left with a calf injury, that could be a little bit longer.
He's now on a 15-day IL, so he won't be back for the rest of the regular season.
So that's a little touch and go for it.
What year is Jose Quintana?
Is he like his 15th year as
a pro or something like that?
I think he's 35?
35 years
old?
36?
You know how I knew the Brewers were going to win the division?
When?
When the Cubs had the best record in baseball.
And I was getting updates every night from my dad on how the Cubs play.
And I said, all right, I'm going to start following him now.
It's August.
I can't follow 162 games.
But the second I decided to follow the Cubs this year,
that's when it went south and the Brewers went north.
And I just thought, oh, that's so Schwabba, you know,
um, con, you know, we're not going to ask Mike to make a prediction because he's a reporter.
What do you think the Brewers are going to do in the playoffs?
I don't want to say anything either.
You know cuz you really that guy you think you're gonna jinx yourself
or something.
They've they've broken my heart many times before so I Don't have you know.
Yeah, I get it as I can't explain how you can win that many games against those many good how you can sweep the Dodgers Yeah, and and surpass the Cubs who were off to a great start.
We had a decent lead at the time to it, you know, but it just always seems like there's some Team with a higher payroll at the end of the year
that just gets hotter in the postseason when it matters and you lose two out of three or something like that.
And we get sent home again, scratching our heads, here we are, not enough payroll, not enough veterans.
It doesn't make any sense to me how you can win in August and September.
I can have a 14 game winning streak and it's just not quite measure up to the Phillies or somebody else when you...
when it counts.
Yeah, no kidding.
Did you see, we got about a minute left, did you see just a bit outside?
Not
yet.
Oh, Mike,
you gotta see it.
It's fun.
I was there.
Yeah, you lived it, but
I was there.
I was a kid.
Check out the highlights.
21-22, but I'm looking forward to it.
Todd Alba has been talking about it, you know, in our midday show here on the network, and it's on my list of things to do for sure.
It literally, like, we used to go up my mom and dad met at Marquette.
My mom's family's from Milwaukee.
We used to come up in Tailgate.
My uncle, Pat Murphy,
would set us up in the county stadium parking lot.
Some of the best memories of my life.
And it was like you were being transported back there in this documentary.
So fun.
All right.
Mike Clemens, thank you, sir.
Always fun.
Thank you, Pete.
I would also like to thank Victoria Davis for making the popcorn pick of the week.
Conrad, stay away from roundabouts.
And tomorrow night on the show, Terry Barr and Civic PD, his own Stuart J. Waddles will be here.
Always fun with stews here.
This has been Nightlight with Peach Wabba folks.
We'll be back tomorrow night on behalf of the lovable producer Conrad.
I'm Peach Wabba, saying goodnight
Wisconsin.
