Welcome to Night Light, ladies and gentlemen.
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.
No, no.
What is that, like six bucks?
Yeah.
Gas.
Yeah.
You know, honestly, I just Uber, so.
You can't win anyway, but they're great seats, club level.
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.

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.

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.
No, it's just, you know,
you're just so sports focused.
You can't get, how can I equate this to sports is what kind
of.
No, it's not even really, it's just.
I went to school there.
So I always, you know, anytime I can bring it up.
You were and
always will be a
panther.
Yes.
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
she's ever taken one once before.
What have we quiz around?
That's you know, it's one of nightlights many quizzes obstetrician terms
The forms of lube oh my god, I'm gonna ask her about that too.
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.
That sounds
pretty cool.
He is a doctor of travel.
He is the senior communication specialist at Travel Wisconsin.
And I think the last took, the last quiz I took from Logan, I got like a one out of five.
It's called fester fiction.
It's a fun quiz.
They're pretty hard.
It's a hard quiz.
And
he brings it.
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,
you know one of the funniest things I saw though from this past weekend She was on the sideline and it just said said can I have some money for concessions, please?
She's like his manager or something.
Oh, it's so good.
Yeah, I sense like a Brian Wilson thing going on where she's like his handler and
Just, I don't know, a project of hers or
something.
I think she needs to put all the focus on the football because he's not doing that well coaching right now.
Has he won yet?
He won once.
Okay, but that's like a pre-conference game or something probably, right?
Well, the first game they got, I don't know, was like 40 something at seven.
Yeah.
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?
You just let it take its course, you know?
Yeah.
A lot of stretching.
Okay,
what broke over there just now?
Is everything okay?
A couple speakers, some of the, you know, packer glasses I have back here.
Some of the older equipment, I
hope.
They just redid the studio, not knowing Conrad has restless leg syndrome.
So we'll be dealing with, oh.
I'm sorry.
This is a serious thing.
What are we gonna do here?
Can we put some pillows down there?
I'm concerned about you too, but throughout the show, it's just
like- Get some staples and we'll staple my shoe to the ground.
On the hell would you staple your
shoe to the ground?
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.
Well, you never know when you need jelly.
That's true.
That's true.
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.
I don't
read this.
Do you need a
bandage or something?
Huge
flare up.
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?
I think they'll
just be a warning.
Might just be a
warning.
Yeah, we'll see.
But that's serious.
Like Travis Kelsey, a staple on all those Super Bowl teams getting yelled at by the coach.
And you're talking about that AI video you saw of...
You know, but I saw a video of AI Travis Kelsey punching Andy Reid in the face and back in the mountains And also, you know, Derek Henry fumbled last night
again,
yeah,
and three games in a row, right?
I saw another video of Lamar Jackson punching Derek Henry in the face
It is getting
out of hand, because people are going to see that and go, did you see that Derek Henry got punched?
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.
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?
Well, you know, is it embarrassing to write in a diary?
No, it's not it but what is what if you wrote something in your diary?
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.

Coming to you live from downtown Green Bay broadcasting live statewide.
That is the boss.
He is 76 years old today.
So I saw him two years ago at Wrigley Field.
Did a three hour and two minute concert at 74 years old.
I can do
that.
Yeah, you just need some songs.
You can stand up there for three hours.
I'll
steal the songs and
yeah,
I
could
sing.
Can you?
No.
But the auto tune will help, you know,
yeah, that's true and you could you have other talents too that you could you know bestow upon people Okay, I'm getting a little worried here, and I'm really glad we have it there will be a doctor in the house
I think all right.
This is this is the big idea I'll just go up on stage and let it flare up and just break stuff
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.
All those glasses of jelly.
Oh, that's terrible.
That's a lot of wasted jelly.
Um, so his restless leg day, if you have this, this thing, my, I think my wife had it years ago and it happens when you sleep.
If I'm not, we'll ask Dr. Kristen Lyrely about that when she gets here.
I'm sleeping right
now.
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?
You know, I just looked at the stream comments and I thought this was hilarious.
I'm just gonna agree with them.
Tell me.
David Kunich said Taylor Swift.
My Tay Tay.
I saw on Willow Island when she was a nobody.
Teardrops on my guitar.
Is that a song?
I don't know.
That's a great name for a song.
If it's not, it should be.
David should write that.
I'm guessing it's a Taylor Swift
song.
Definitely a rocker.
Not a country singer at all.
Definitely
a rocker.
No, she's a rocker.
And country singers can be maybe not rockers, but you could put a country singer on there if you want.
All
right.
I will say Taylor Swift.
Yeah, but she's not a country singer, but she could do it all though.
Yeah, I mean she's not just your Tay-Tay Dave I'm the one who dated her.
She's one of my exes and we've talked about this ad nauseam on the show and when I say ad nauseam I mean ad nauseam
So you're not gonna say your exes is your favorite.
No It's funny I don't think of her I guess I left her off the quiz too because I don't think of her as a rocker even though she is she's like a pop star, you know
But I think of like Gwen Stefani as a rocker or like, you know, anyway, that's a great technique.
Thanks.
I will actually say though, I think Joan Jett probably because of the most those are the most songs I've probably heard.
Yeah.
And I really like that song.
I love rock and roll
reputation.
Oh,
how does it?
I forgot about that one.
What is that?
It's
Listen to it during the break.
I'm not gonna.
You're not gonna sing
it for me?
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?
I
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,
but
I would say Tina Turner.
Oh, yes.
Do you have a favorite Tina Turner song?
Well, two favorites.
The first one by far is Proud Mary.
Awesome.
And then also I liked what love got to do with it.
Great song.
I love I love tiny dancer.
What is it private dancer?
What's love got to do with it?
And I don't know if you know she remember she had a song called simply the best that they always played it like sporting events and stuff.
Yeah, she
is
outstanding
Yep,
so
well, I hope she's a rocker in your eyes.
She's absolutely a rocker.
You can't sing proud Mary and not rock.
That's what I say to you.
All right
All right, you have a great night.
Thank you for the call.
Okay He better take care of those legs
Sounds like you won't have much of a studio left.
Conrad's just a bloody mess over there.
Thank God we have a doctor who has just arrived.
All right, thank you very much, Ollie.
Have a wonderful night.
All right, bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
That's Ollie from the Northwoods.
And we finally... Don't say finally.
I can
finally call this a radio show.
No, I didn't mean finally because I didn't want you to rush.
What is going on?
You're in crutches?
I
got my knee replaced like four weeks ago, not even.
And there's zero handicap parking around here.
Having a condition like this really makes you appreciate what people who live with a disability go through every single day of their
life.
Right.
Yes.
Do you want to know what I...
When I was a kid in Chicago, they were changing the sidewalks to make them handicap accessible.
Curb cuts.
Curb cuts.
And my friend Scott, I won't say his last name.
I think he went on to be a doctor.
He said, do you believe that?
I bet we got like one cripple on the whole block.
But that's how people used to sing.
That's enough.
I know.
It's not even that.
Once they did the curb cuts, guess who else started using it?
people pushing strollers and kids on bikes and skates.
It just became like it was easier for everybody.
There are just some people you just can't make it.
It's like they always have to find something to complain about.
You're right.
That's not us.
No, not us.
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.
This weekend, we have a really cool show.
I was kind of looking for a shout out there, but that's
okay.
Tell me who's on this
one.
Oh yeah, Pete, you were my guest.
That was a super fun show.
I really enjoyed that.
That was a lot of
fun.
But you have, I mean, I was like, you have guests from all different walks of life.
You have handsome radio hosts.
You
have,
no, but tell us who is coming up
tomorrow.
We have, it's sad.
Remember the school shooting in...
Minneapolis, there are so many.
I can't even read exactly.
Right.
Well, this one didn't get a ton of press, but it was a Catholic school.
It was August 27th.
A family whose son goes to that school and he's fine.
He's okay.
Okay.
But they're going to tell their story.
Oh my
gosh.
And then we're going to talk about what can we do?
You know, as, as citizens, we hear about this all the time and we've just kind of written it off.
And if you're like, oh,
that's terrible.
And then we move on.
Right.
We feel bad.
And then we, you know, we point fingers on the right.
they say mental health issues on the left, they say gun issues, nobody's solving this problem.
So it's different when you've been through it.
So
we're gonna hear their side.
I'm trying not to go, and I don't even think it's political, but when a major celebrity, who was a talking head on the right, was recently killed, all the stuff for him, and that was horrific, what we
saw.
It was horrific.
Everybody
was
like, that was awful.
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.
That's the cool thing about my show.
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.
It's incredible.
And you can almost justify any guest and tie them to, like even your guests this weekend, tie them somehow to the medical field or health, right?
I mean, that's pretty cool.
Yeah.
Let's talk about this knee.
I'm concerned.
What happened?
How did you, did you run so hard for office?
You needed your knee replaced or what happened there?
I had a bed skiing accident a couple of years ago.
Oh, did you really?
Yeah, and then like surgery after surgery.
This is the fifth surgery when we finally said let's just start over.
That is terrible.
Does it hurt
right now or
are you doing the rehab?
eat both of those things.
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.
You're a little too bendy.
I have to ask you, do you have, oh
man.
Conrad dancing
again?
dealing with his own medical issue over there.
He's got restless leg syndrome and he keeps kicking all the jars of jelly under his desk.
I don't know why he's keeping them there.
I was listening on my way in.
I'm sorry.
Have we listened to, I missed the beginning because I was searching for parking.
Did you listen to Reputation by Joan Jett?
No, we have not.
You should pull that for bumper.
In your quiz, I'm not gonna tell you.
what question, but I do have a Joan Jett question.
I was singing in the car.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Like you brought up Joan Jett and I was singing a reputation.
Lita Ford, I knew it before you did.
You know, they used to be in a band together.
What do you mean you knew it before I did?
What does that mean?
You were like, oh, what was her song?
I'm not sure.
Oh, Kiss Me Deadly.
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
fight.
Like
she just sounded so ballsy and like just, it was, I'd never heard a song like that from a woman.
Yeah.
It's just a song.
Yeah.
Well, that wasn't my experience either, but.
No, but we sing kind of, we, like I sing.
We sing about what
we know.
Could we sing right now?
We could.
What do you want to do something?
We could do a day in the life by the Beatles.
I heard a request for that earlier.
I woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head.
Oh, that's what that
was.
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?
We did have a big meeting last weekend in St.
Louis.
Oh yeah, you told me that.
Okay, so what was that all about?
That was a blast.
That was a regional meeting for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
This is the biggest U.S.
organization of OBGYN docs.
So it's over 60,000 doctors.
What?
Yeah.
There are that many OBGYNs in America or is it worldwide?
It's worldwide.
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 truly love what you do.
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?
Yeah, and we're taking on more of that too, because we're doing a lot of remotely, because so many of our guests are remote, so it's even more of a burden on me.
And my oldest son Abe, who is helping out in a big way, he's a public school teacher, so he's a grown-up.
Your oldest son is a public school teacher.
Yeah.
Would you have guessed she had a son?
Conrad, that's your age.
Well,
I've met Abe, yeah.
Oh, okay.
It'd be nice if you guys kept me in the loop
on
some stuff here.
Apparently there's a lot of socializing going on when I'm not around, but that's fine.
You met one of my boys.
I did.
Lindsay, he's that supporter.
Lindsay, yeah.
He goes to school with your daughter.
He's in Steven's point.
That's right.
And he is in the same program, I believe, correct?
Yeah.
That's so great.
I wonder if they've met.
I meant to, we were there last weekend.
I meant to ask her and I, because there's another, I think,
Kim, Chef Chick, I don't know if you know Kim.
Oh, yes, I know Kim.
Okay.
She's got a lot of fans.
Kim is my BFF.
Kim was my PA when I worked at Bellin.
Oh.
So when I was, we worked as a team together, so I know Kim very well.
Were you a good boss?
Would she say the same thing about you?
She was the boss.
She was the PA and she was the boss?
You know Kim.
She was definitely the person in charge.
She frightens me a little
bit.
I know, but I love her so much.
She has...
an angelic voice.
When she comes in here with the Piat family and
they sing, it
is incredible.
Well, the Piat boys are at Stevens Point too.
I think I knew that.
But she has someone that's an enemy.
Anyway, I gotta get this straight because, yeah, our kids are gonna cross paths.
We could be in-laws one day, Dr. Liarley.
I don't think you want that.
You met Lindsay, no?
Oh, he's a good kid.
He's a wonderful kid.
So why don't I wanna meet him then?
or why don't they want, he's not dating material
for young
women.
He really hasn't been, I don't know, I love him.
Well, you're the role
model, you gotta give him some pointers, right?
We're so similar too, it's funny.
He's
a little
bit of a late bloomer, but he's a delightful child.
Better, that's a good, because I think late bloom, I wish I was a late bloomer.
I went through puberty in second grade.
You did.
It was brutal,
yeah.
No, I, it's.
No wonder you're so traumatized by that lead-a-forward song.
Oh,
listen.
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
like
take your time.
You have the rest of your life to be an adult
Yeah, but you just are who you are.
You know, it's not like they make a choice They just are being themselves, especially at that age.
Correct.
Yeah,
you're so smart
Conrad, are you happy Dr. Lyrely is here?
Of course.
Can you look at Conrad's Restless Leg during the break?
Happily.
Okay.
There's a lot of
jelly
back
here.
Not
the kind you're used to at your conventions.
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.
You're listening to Civic Media.
Find the latest news, information and archives of all your favorite shows on the Civic Media website, civicmedia.us.
Welcome back.
This is Nightlight with Peach Wabba.
I am Peach Wabba.
Our question of the night is who is your favorite female rocker?
And I kind of thought this was going to be a popular question.
Jim from Appleton says, Lita Ford saying, close my eyes forever with Ozzy Osbourne.
I remember that.
Were you a fan of Lita Ford?
Not really.
Not particularly.
I mean, if we're talking about the runaways, I was more of a Joan Jett kind of gal.
OK.
Lita was a little harsh for me, too.
But I sang her songs.
Yeah.
She scared me when I was that age.
From the 512, Matt from Middleton says, it's a toss up for me between Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics or Stevie Nicks, phenomenal, unique voices and talent.
Very true.
Could not agree more, Matt.
Thank you.
Let's do one more here before we, we're going to give you a quiz.
You okay with that?
Yeah.
Female rocker quiz.
You did sign off on that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Christine from Slinger, she's in the 401 forces, Tina Turner and Cindy Loper.
I was just talking about Cindy Loper with Kristen here.
Conrad is so funny with his crashes tonight.
Keep it up.
That's easy for you to say.
It's a bloody
mess.
Strawberry.
He's got strawberry jam.
I got strawberry apricot.
I got all the jelly.
You got to have the rhubarb.
Oh, yeah.
Do you
like
rhubarb?
I love rhubarb.
Do you?
Rhubarb, to me, not only do I like how it tastes, but I like that it means that summer is coming.
You know, it's weird.
I'm not against rhubarb, but I remember it grew in the alley by our house, and I thought that was weird.
You know, like a cat peed on it the night before or something, so to eat the gas.
But if you know a cat peed on it, would you still eat it, even if you washed
it?
I don't know, I'm probably not.
You probably
chucked that piece, right?
Yeah, I mean, you'd have a hard time with it, like the psychological thing, but you know, it gets rained on and then you wash it and like, you don't know what happens to your fruits and vegetables when they're bird poop and all that stuff.
Right, and I've always said that like, I can use a public toilet unless I see the person who came out of there.
Really?
Then it's off limits, like nope, can't do it unless it's like a handsome man or
woman.
But if someone looks like the least bit non-hygienic,
is that a word?
Hygienic?
I
know
hygienic is, but I wouldn't, I'd probably wait.
What about a port-a-potty?
No, thanks.
Those are horrible.
I wouldn't, I mean, for women, I don't even know how you guys, because I have like, you know, I don't want to turn this into like a bathroom show, but I peed in a port-a-potty, but you couldn't pay
me.
I'm pretty talented, Kristen.
You should know that by now, especially when it comes to the bodily functions.
Yeah, but I wouldn't sit in one.
And I think women just kind of sort of squat, right?
They don't actually touch.
I'll just go ahead and share that I actually sit.
Do you?
Yeah, I do a lot of biking, like events and things where you'll stop, you know, you'll bike for 20 miles and then you'll stop and eat.
and pee and do all that.
And it's mostly just porta-potties then.
Or I did Reg Brie.
I rode my bike all the way across Iowa and that was all porta-potties.
So it's like to save time.
Do you do the old eat and pee?
Do you sit down and have a sandwich?
No, that's terrible.
You kind of said that all together.
I drive a line.
Okay.
I don't know.
You're a doctor.
You should be earthy by nature.
I
should tell you something.
Yeah.
It's the boss's birthday.
I know.
I know.
I
was just going to ask you what your favorite
I
was there, too, at Wrigley.
You were?
Yes, two years ago.
Two years ago.
Yes, and you're right, he performed for over three hours, and did you notice this?
The fans got tired.
They were still going up on stage, and the fans were like, we can't take it.
The fans started to sit down at like our 2.15.
Right, because you're right, it was so funny.
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.
So
do you have a favorite Bruce song?
Yeah, Glory Days always makes me feel, you know.
Schmalzy about
high school.
Yeah.
Schmalzy.
That is actually my maiden name.
So I'm owning it.
I think
mine would have to be probably Thunder Road because you can
make it fast.
You
can make it more ballady.
But it's what he's singing about in that.
And because that song is kind of about glory days too.
He sings about glory days a lot in other songs.
But and then his Devils and Dust album.
I like every song.
He's a phenomenal songwriter.
Fade away.
Yeah.
I don't wanna fade away, I
don't wanna fade away, I don't wanna fade away, I don't wanna fade away, I don't wanna fade away, I don't wanna
fade away, I don't wanna fade away, I don't wanna fade away,
I
don't wanna fade away, I don't wanna fade away, tell me what can I do,
what can I say?
I
love that
song.
Kim
Marie Shevchik, if you're listening.
We sung together.
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.
When you're delivering a baby, do you take requests?
Sure,
whatever my patient wants.
Wow.
Usually they have their own music.
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.
From the Lion
King.
It was the greatest.
Oh my gosh.
Yes.
That is bizarre.
I love that.
We got the whole thing on video.
Yeah.
What would you pretty cool?
You could do Justin Bieber, baby, baby, baby.
Is that kind of too hack?
No, we can do whatever my patients want.
Well, I probably won't be in any more delivery rooms.
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.
Pete Schwab and Nightlight, we're coming right back on the Civic Media radio network.
