Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach · Tue Sep 23, 2025
Oh, this is, this is how you Tuesday.
You listen to the radio, we've got great guests tonight, a great question, almost too much show for two hours, an incredible contest I'm gonna tell you about if you don't already know about it, and some fun little tidbits of information from the world of entertainment that I'm gonna share with you as well.
I hope you had a great day, folks.
Wherever you're joining us from in Wisconsin, thank you for being here.
It's great when you guys participate in the show, too.
In fact, I sort of need to apologize.
We had a lot going on last night.
We had a great guest in studio in Eric Jelland and another great guest in Jim Healy.
And we talked movies and we just fell behind and didn't read all the text.
So we will get to some of those.
the ones we missed last night tonight.
We also have the civic media go for the green and gold text to win contest, our multi-state contest that we are in the throes of that goes till October 3rd.
And coming up in hour number two, I will give you a keyword that you can text in and make yourself eligible to win 200 bucks cash or gold or and gold jewelry, I should say, and two club level tickets to Green Bay versus Minnesota.
on November 23rd.
That's a noon kickoff.
And it will give you a gas card to get there as well.
So Conrad, that doesn't do much for you.
And it's the green and gold squaring off against the purple and gold.
It's a great contest.
In the seven o'clock hour, folks, I will give you the keyword you gotta play.
It's our civic media, go for the gold, green and gold text to win contest, our multi-state contest.
And that is one heck of a grand prize.
And when you text in that word on the app, that's the only stipulation.
You have to have the app and text in the keyword over the app.
You are eligible for the daily prize of 200 bucks cash and gold jewelry and the grand prize.
That's all you have to do.
Text one word.
So I'll give you that word in the seven o'clock hour.
And oh, I have to I have to tell you guys this too once you text in the keyword We'll send you a link a confirmation link you can
or an extra contest entries following the link in the text response and subscribing to our newsletter or any of our other things listed.
Follow us on Facebook, subscribe to our podcast or sign up for Civic Media today.
They all give you extra chances to win.
So I have to tell you guys that as well.
Let's get some more business out of the way here, Con.
We've got a new signal in Milwaukee, 100.3.
It's still AUK though, right?
Yeah.
It's our downtown Milwaukee FM signal and it rocks.
It is fantastic.
So if you're listening there, welcome, welcome.
And if you're not, check it out because it is a, uh, it's a, it's a great signal and it's brand new here at Civic Media.
All good stuff.
Wait, is it, but it's not, it doesn't have anything to do with UW Milwaukee.
That's correct.
That is awesome.
Um, so all right, fun show tonight.
Dr. Kristen Lyrely is here in studio at 635.
She will be here sitting in this chair.
If you're watching on the stream, the chair I'm pointing to right now, that is the chair.
We are going to give her a quiz in Chris.
Has Kristen taken a quiz?
I don't know if
I'm sure she was at a lube conference recently But she will be here and well it's always fun to talk to Kristen She'll take our female rocker quiz and then folks you for a Tuesday night What are the radio show is gonna give you two quizzes in the same show?
I'm gonna take a show
I'm gonna take a quiz, give it to me by our second guest at 735, Logan Rogie.
I almost said Dr. Logan Rogie.
He brings it.
He does bring it.
He challenges me and I don't really know what's going on anyway.
So I'm sort of behind the eight ball, but he's going to really, I'm fully expecting him to stick it to me.
So Logan will be here at 735.
We'll tell you what's happening in and around the state this fall.
Some really cool festivals in Wisconsin.
Did you see this?
It was on Twitter.
It has to be AI of Bella Czech's girlfriend jumping into him's arms on the sidelines.
Yeah, that's definitely a that was so funny,
Lots to get to today.
I have to tell you guys too.
We got overnight texts from two of our listeners who are very loyal listeners, and I love when they text us.
But they texted in the keyword because they heard us talking about the contest on the rebroadcast.
And unfortunately, if you're listening from 4 to 6 a.m.
during the rebroadcast of Nightlight, you're not eligible when you text in a keyword at those hours.
So if you can,
try to text in between seven and eight tonight.
That's when all the texts will come in and we'll give the keyword.
And that is how you become eligible for the go for the green and gold text to win contest.
So now that we got that out of the way, it is, this is kind of a weird thing.
It is restless leg syndrome day.
And I didn't know this, but you suffer from restless leg syndrome and, you know,
It can be, now it hasn't really flared up when you've been in the studio, but I understand you're going through a bout of it right now where it's hard to control your leg.
And you gotta be careful.
There's a lot of expensive stuff around this studio.
So, oh, huh?
What do you do for, just some bengue or acetaminophen?
What do you do for that?
That's funny.
It is also, folks, the birthday of a gentleman who, as far as I know, does not have restless leg syndrome.
Uh, Mr. Bruce, uh, spring home.
This is just getting out of hand.
And you shouldn't keep your collection of jelly back there in the jar.
I don't know why you keep that under your desk.
It is Bruce Springsteen's birthday, folks.
The boss turned 76.
We will be celebrating throughout the show with bumper musical or from my true hero.
Bruce Springsteen.
This is like a, I wouldn't say it's a national holiday for me, but I'm glad he was born and he's brought a lot of joy to my life.
And you know, not to spend too much time on sports, but this was funny.
Travis Kelsey and Andy Reed had a big flare up.
And Andy Reed supposedly said, wait a minute, I wrote it down here.
He said, tell me why I shouldn't kick you off.
That was what a lip reader supposedly said that Andy Reed
said to Travis Kelton.
You gotta be joking.
bandage or something?
Huge
Wow, man, I'm sorry.
That's gotta be tough.
Oh, I hope you get some sleep tonight.
I don't know.
That could be a real bear.
Dr. Kristen Lierly just texted me saying she's coming in hot.
Okay.
That could mean a few different things.
Is she saying she's hot?
Is she saying she's cutting it close?
Or is she saying she's about to get a ticket?
Now, her boyfriend is a police officer.
And he's a stickler for the rule.
What if he's the one giving her the ticket?
No one would punch Derek Henry in the face.
Definitely not.
Yeah.
Maybe Lamar Jackson.
Oh, come on.
It's a good thing Dr. Lyrely is coming in.
She can check out your leg.
And is it both legs or are you just?
It's just my feet.
It's kind of my feet.
Is it your kicking?
Hey, with that in mind, folks, I think it's time we get to our nightlight.
Question of the night.
Let's talk about the question.
Okay, question.
Question.
Question.
Pregunta.
Question.
Question.
Okay, I have a question.
Questions.
This question.
Domanda.
Question.
Question.
Questions.
All right.
Joan Jett turns 68 this week.
It got me thinking.
I don't know.
I think we've had a similar question to this, but not one that is so spot on.
Who is the best female rocker of all time?
Who is the best female rocker of all time?
That's our question of the night, folks.
Let us know at 855-752-4842-855-75CIVIC.
Or you can text us on the app, which you should have anyway, if you want to play our green and gold contest, go for the green and gold contest.
You can drop us a comment over text, or if you're watching on the stream, on X Facebook or YouTube, drop us a stream comment and let us know who the best female rocker of all time is.
If you're on any of these platforms, folks, we would sure love it if you gave us a like or a follow.
Those are always fun to get to if you're there anyway.
But that is our question of the night, so let us know who you think is the best female rocker and we will read your text on the radio.
And there's one, I'm gonna text, I'm gonna.
quiz Dr. Lierly on this when she gets here.
And she says she's confident.
She thinks she's going to crush it.
So I mean, I'm sure she's a good student.
She's a doctor.
But we'll ask her.
But I just realized I left a very important one off the quiz.
So I'll probably have to add that at some point.
But that's our question tonight.
Let us know.
We have, what was our question last night?
Do you remember?
What is it that you would not want people to read like what do you find would be too embarrassing and Your dad alright, I read that one.
I read Jack from Marinette Marama John Murray's I read last night Bridgets I didn't get to private conversations that I would never really say to anyone Now I can just picture Bridget writing something to her diary like she's Pete stinks
Pete, why would Brad, why would Brad Chip be writing about me?
Pete Snakes, Conrad has this syndrome called a restless leg syndrome that we can't seem, that we, oh, that one was a little, sounds like you're losing some bang for your buck over there.
All right, we're coming right back.
This is Pete Schwab and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
legs going to start spasming and you think people are going to bathe.
You sell out, you sell out Wrigley Field with your restless legs.
You're mailing it in.
That's for sure.
Our question of the night folks is who is the best female rocker of all time?
And this is an honor of Joan Jett's birthday.
She turns the rocker turns 68 And I'm gonna say my favorite female rocker She's not my favorite, but she's the one I left off the list of the quiz for Kristen Lita Ford and
To me, I think she's kind of a one-hit wonder when I was a summer DJ like in 1989 or 90 I would play this song by Lita Ford What the heck is the name of that song I have to look it up now because I'm totally I'm totally forgetting.
Oh, she is 67 years old Close my eye.
No, that's not I close my eyes kiss me deadly that is her song and
Here are the lyrics in this song.
And this like made me blush.
I was like 20 years old or whatever.
I went to a party last Saturday night.
I didn't get laid.
I got in a fight.
Oh, I didn't even know girls like that.
I'm like, she's so gritty and like singing about this stuff.
And she had this crazy like, not muscle rock, but like hairband type.
So I'll say lead afford because those lyrics really did knock my socks off.
back in whatever it was, 1989.
And I left her off the quiz.
So kind of a one-hit wonder.
And not my favorite female rocker, but I will give her props for that because those lyrics, whether she wrote them or not, I don't know.
But she is 67 years old now.
All these rockers are getting older.
So let us know what you're... Do you have a favorite, Con?
Daniel Barry sports highlights also says hello on the stream.
Happy Tuesday.
Hey everyone.
Hey Daniel.
Great to have you with us tonight Another a few texts here from last night if we can get through these Sydney from Oregon's after 34 years of living I don't know if my sister's birthday is March 20th or 21st a confession only for my diary until now That's not so bad.
I'm sure you're still a good brother Sydney
Cindy was in the 708, by the way, texting all the way from the Chicago land area.
Duffy from Mount Horrib, that's the 608, says, thanks for what you do, Pete and Conrad.
One of the best shows on civic media.
Well, thank you.
Duffy, that's very nice to hear.
Duffy says, I have to ask if you have seen the documentary Listeners.
or listeners on YouTube.
Absolutely fantastic.
All right, I'm writing that down, Duffy.
I love when we get suggestions from listeners.
That's fantastic.
And thank you for the compliments, Duffy.
Great to have you on board and thank you for listening.
Chris in the 773 says, you ask for honesty didn't mean any disrespect.
You usually have really great questions.
This one I'm trying to...
to relate to also very in touch with my feminine side.
Keep up the great work.
Chris, remember we thought Chris was a female, but Chris is not a female.
But Chris spells his name like a girl I know who spells it the same way.
That's what makes me.
There's tons of ways to spell Chris, but thank you, Chris.
And I meant no disrespect either if I said something.
Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids says, woke up, got out of bed, dragged the comb across my head, found my way downstairs and had a cup.
and looking up.
Notice I was late, grabbed my coat and grabbed.
What is that from?
don't know if Tyler's listening because this is from last night, but Tyler, give us some clarification.
Tyler in the 608, our pal, let us know.
I think we're caught up on text from last night.
We got a lot to get to and we do what we can take.
Call her if you can, hold on through the news and we'll take the call after the break.
I think Dr. Lyrely, she said she's coming in hot.
So she could be giving birth right now.
That's what you're dealing with when you book a doctor on the show.
And Conrad's restless leg syndrome, by the way, is, you know, needing to be dealt with.
He's got serious issues on the other side of the glass.
All right, we're coming right back.
This is Nightlight with Pete Schwab on the Civic Media Radio Network.
We are having a swell time here.
We have, coming up in the second hour, I'm going to give you information on civic medias.
Go for the green and gold text-to-win contest, our multi-state text-to-win contest with outstanding prizes.
All you have to do is text in the keyword, but that's coming up in hour number two.
Dr. Kristin Lierly is running a little bit behind, so we will expect her...
Hopefully soon, but I hope she takes her time.
She said she's on crutches.
Did she is this a you think she has restless legs in So bad All right, I get we have a caller Conrad.
Yes, let's not forget about our caller.
Yeah, it's Ali from the North Woods.
Ali.
How are you?
Well, I'm doing okay.
I'm not very Savvy or maybe not politically correct
in my answer tonight,
I would say Tina Turner.
Well, two favorites.
The first one by far is Proud Mary.
And then also I liked what love got to do with it.
is
Yep,
well, I hope she's a rocker in your eyes.
All right
Okay He better take care of those legs
Sounds like you won't have much of a studio left.
All right, bye-bye.
That was a 10 year old kid sounding like he was 60 years old.
Hey, I am glad you made it.
Dr. Kristen Lyrely is here, folks.
You can hear her here on the Civic Media Network or more specifically on WGBW and WISS for the Dr. Kristen Lyrely show.
Yeah.
Every weekend, you have some amazing guests.
and traumatizing.
But these kids get none of the pomp and circumstance and they suffer what you saw in that video, that's happening to kids when they get shot.
And we don't hear about that and we don't really honor it.
It's just terrible.
So I applaud you.
I think that sounds like a phenomenal show.
And now I feel silly that I made jokes about myself.
When they first offered this amazing opportunity, they insisted that I call it just like my name.
Yeah.
Because then I could do anything I wanted with it.
Because I was thinking, you know, do you want to talk about health care or politics or health care and politics?
You know, like those are the things that I kind of do all the time.
But this way I can talk to anybody about anything and really just help them tell their stories.
And I love people.
That's the thing I love about being a doctor.
I love people and I love helping people be the best that they can be.
And this is just a different facet of that.
Yeah.
I'm doing incredibly well, though, because I went into it pretty healthy.
So luckily I can bend it.
A big problem after a knee replacement is can you bend it?
So that has not been a problem for me, although that's probably what got me into the situation in the first place, because I'm a little too bendy.
man.
Conrad dancing
Yeah.
I couldn't think of the song, but those lyrics.
When you're a 20 year old guy and you you hear this song about a woman saying, oh, I didn't get laid, but I did get in a fight.
It's like.
That's like out of that Amy Schumer movie where David tells us, that's kind of girl, you bring a knife to a knife
Yep.
See, I was listening.
That was from last night.
That was one of our texts from last night.
And for the life of me, sometimes I look at words, even if they're from famous songs and I can't.
I just can't do it.
You know, I can't figure out where it's from.
Dr. Kristin Lierly is here, folks.
She is here in one piece.
She was on crutches, but she found parking, made her way into the studio, and she joins us here on Nightlight as she so often does.
Check out the Dr. Kristin Lierly show this weekend and every weekend here on the Civic Media Radio Network and WGBW.
So what's been going on with you in your day job?
Any lube conventions that you've been to?
We claim that there's some medical stuff going on there.
What is happening?
Most of them are in this organization are...
you know, in the U.S.
But like I took over as district chair, there are 12 district chairs.
Really?
Yeah, so I now have the Upper Midwest and Manitoba and Saskatchewan and Peru.
So I've got like all of these diverse voices and it is so interesting just hearing delivery of care and patient experience all across like in South America and Canada and the U.S.
You're very good at it.
Your bedside manner is I'm sure there are some people that actually want to be sick so they get to hang out with you or have babies, I guess.
But what made you want to do a radio show?
Like even a two hour show on the weekend, there's production that's involved in that.
It's a lot of work.
So what made you want to do that?
You don't even know the half of it.
No, but when you're a late bloomer, you get to enjoy childhood more.
You know, there's, because let's be honest, I worked, I did some work in a middle school for a few years when my daughter was there and some of these eighth graders.
They're already sexually active and there's other eighth graders still playing army guys in their back like it's such a swing And I'm like those the kid I don't want I never wanted my kids to grow up that fast I'm
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are coming back.
Dr. Kristin Lyrely is here.
We have a quiz for her about female rockers.
And when we come back, I'm going to ask her her favorite Bruce Springsteen song.
You won't want to miss that.
It is Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media Radio Network.
mess.
Strawberry.
me.
Okay.
I don't know.
It was like everybody's on their feet like they're 15, going crazy.
And then they took a break and then they do born to run and people would stand up again.
That was so cool.
I have somebody shared a video with me of him walking from one of those Wrigley Field Apartments through into Wrigley, like they obviously rented the apartment so he could be close.
He is a national treasure.
And I just love him.
Have you?
She actually, I have performed in Doctors in Recital because I sing in the exam room because I can't help myself.
Sorry to all of my patients for my patients out there.
Is that awkward?
I don't know.
Or I'll sing like when I'm walking down the hall, because you know you get a song in your head and it just comes out of my mouth.
So Kim was like, you should sing in Doctors in Recital.
So there were a couple, quite a few years where I did.
Can I tell a funny delivery story?
Yeah.
Recently this happened.
The dad had a whole playlist.
I mean, he had it all set up.
They'd been making this playlist for a really long time.
And when she was just about to have to have the baby, I said, baby's coming.
It's going to be here any second.
And he like was fumbling with his phone.
And all of a sudden we heard.
But folks, our question of the night is who is the best female rocker ever?
Dr. Kristen Lyrely is here.
And after intermission, we're going to come back for Act 2.
We're going to give her our female rocker quiz.
And I'm going to tell you all about the Civic Media's Go for the Green and Gold text-to-win contest.
And you will get the keyword very early in the hour.
So stick around.
Lots of fun here tonight at Nightlight.
We might even do a picture window type dealio.
Oh, all right.
We'll talk.
