Gut Health and Fantasy Football Frenzy (Hour 2)

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.

This is Night Light with Pete Schwabba.

Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now, a guy whose house has an actual wiggle room, Pete Schwabba.

Welcome to Night Light, ladies and gentlemen.

Happy fluffernutter day, everybody.

It is National Fluffer Nutter Day, and I just thought that would be something good to open with.

I will elaborate and I will tell you what a fluffer nutter is at some point in the next few minutes.

So you'll want to hear that because it affects and inspired tonight's question of the night.

Great to have you with me.

a little bit of a chilly Wednesday night here in downtown Green Bay, but beautiful weather all over Wisconsin as I understand it.

And I hope you had a great day.

Whatever you did today, join us now and take the stress of the day off your plate.

Let's just talk about movies, music, comedy, Wisconsin, TV, you name it.

We're gonna talk about it tonight.

We'll talk a little Cubs and Brewers too.

I assume

I assume Conrad that people that are listening to this show right now and not watching or listening to the game would like updates.

OK.

But if they're fanatics, and that is a real word, they're probably watching the game.

But they might, if they're not, if they're like, well, we'd rather have a few laughs with Pete and Conrad's banter.

You know, maybe they would just appreciate an update.

That's

all I'm

saying.

So what are we looking at right now?

It's four to two at the top of the sixth.

The burrs are losing right now.

Okay.

And as a Brewer fan, I assume you're following the game on some level.

What is your inclination telling you in regard to the vibe tonight, if you will?

Honestly, it feels close, but it's just our starting pitcher didn't have a hot start because he gave up four runs in the first inning.

Your pitchers have given up runs in the first inning all series.

It doesn't seem to matter.

Yeah, I guess the bats just aren't as hot.

They're still going.

Just not as hot.

Well, we'll see what happens.

We'll keep you guys posted, but we love that you're here with us, too.

So we're going to have a lot of fun tonight.

I have two great guests.

A fun question and some good talking points for the show.

Tonight, recently, I read this article about a woman.

I have her name.

What was her name?

She lived to be 117 years old.

Her name is... Her last name was Banias.

Maria Banias.

Banias.

Maria Banias.

She lived to be 117.

And they did research on her body.

She passed away last year.

And they did all this research about her health and why they think she lived so long.

And I don't mean to be agist, Conrad, but 117 is old.

I would say let's get up there.

You're not restocking shelves at the mart when you're 117.

You're not driving a truck.

as they say.

That's old.

But she had a very young internal body, I guess, because she was so healthy and lived so long.

So that inspired me.

I thought, I got to call my friend Sherry Stoker.

She is a nutritionist and dietitian and founded Wayless MD outside of Milwaukee.

And they do great work there, helping people get in shape and pick out a plan that works for them.

And I thought, hey, I would love to have you on and discuss why this woman lives so long and what her secret is.

And we'll discuss that with Sherry at 6.35.

Among other healthy tips you'll get every time Sherry is here.

She's always a blast to have on the show.

And then we are running the gamut, folks.

A little fantasy football talk in hour number two.

How does that tickle your fancy?

The great Pete Von Doran will be here.

Doesn't it sound like he should be great?

Peter Van, when you have three names like that and

Van is in the

middle, it sounds like, like Kramer was Dr. Martin Van Nostrand.

That was his alias he always used to use.

So Peter Van Doran, I love that name.

It's a guy who knows about fantasy sports, even though he's based in reality.

So Pete will be here in studio.

We'll talk about fantasy football.

I am a very casual user of fantasy football.

At best I dip my toe in I the most I was ever in was three leagues.

I don't think I checked my roster once Yet I've won won twice purely by luck over the last 15 years this year I'm only in one league But if it's something you haven't done Pete might have some good information for you Or if it's something you do, you know, you might pick up a tipper here or there from Pete as well Conrad I'm sure we'll be in on that Conversation as well.

How many leagues are you in this year?

Six that I really keep track

of

And then a couple other, they're just kind of for fun.

A couple others that I just wanted to draft in the beginning of football because I was antsy.

But what does that mean?

Then you just don't check?

You don't care?

Well, no, I just I do a quick lineup change at the beginning of the week.

You can do that on ESPN and I don't look at it again until next week.

Oh, OK.

All right.

Well you and Pete can have a nice talk and I'm gonna kick back and have a cup of coffee and

watch you

guys.

I am curious.

I want to know what he has to say because I could probably put a little more effort.

I know it drives my son crazy that I don't try harder.

It's not that I'm not interested in it.

I do like fantasy football.

I just it's like the last thing in my priority list.

So if I'm struggling or not getting something else done, fantasy football is the first thing to go, unfortunately.

But maybe Pete will motivate us.

So Sherry Stoker 635, Peter Van Doran at...

720 in studio ladies and gentlemen, maybe we'll get a window pick out of Pete,

huh?

Here we go

check out our window picks folks if you go to Facebook We post a nightlight window love every night window fun.

We find is some unsuspecting Sap out on Washington Street.

I'm kidding.

Everybody's been great I've only heard I've had two turndowns when I've asked people if I could take their picture and put them in the window and then post it on Facebook and They were one after the other it was like and those are the only two that said no

And it was in the same night.

It was bizarre.

So anyway, Pete is a very tall.

What do you think, Pete?

He's a tall dude.

Yeah.

You think he's six and a half bills?

Yeah, definitely.

You at least six six?

I feel like six and a half bills, you know.

You think you could take him?

In regards to what?

You don't know what that

means.

Kind of like such a nice guy.

He doesn't even want to go there.

See, you're stocky.

You got that muscle.

But Pete's tall and Pete's no slouch himself.

I think he's in the military.

Yeah, so

Yeah, I could take him in fantasy football.

I think

okay You probably could but then again, he's our expert.

So let's defer to Pete.

He's our fantasy football expert for tonight at least So actually folks I led the show off by saying this is national Look at the word again fluffer and utter day.

I thought that sounded kind of obscene

There's a lot of letters and word combinations in there, letter combinations that make it sound kind of strange.

It's actually a sandwich.

It's a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich that is kind of big on the east coast, I guess.

And I know I've heard about it over the years.

I've heard that term fluffernutter.

Make me a fluffernutter.

But I never knew really what it was, but I looked it up last night.

And that inspired tonight's 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.

What, in honor of National Fluffer another day, what is a food you've never tried but would like to?

What is a food you've never tried but would like to?

eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five civic let us know where you can text us on the app or if you're watching the radio on the stream at youtube facebook or x you can drop us a stream comment and if you're on any of those platforms feel free to give us a like or a follow um i'll go first do you have one ready i do all right why don't you go first con well i actually have two i do too

okay

look at that

yeah the first is is beef wellington

I've never tried that and it looks interesting, huh?

I think I'd want to try a Gordon Ramsay one

I Don't know if I've ever had that either come to think of it beef Wellington.

It's like beef wrapped in like Bread or something like that and there's lots of onions on it.

I like I don't know the full details of it But it looks tasty

like a cocktail weenie and jello.

Is it the same type of

dynamic?

If you ever look a picture of a beef Wellington, it's huge

Okay

And then the next one is a Spagomlet.

You don't need to eat

that.

We had t-shirts made for the Spagomlet.

That was the line that Eric Price ad-libbed in the Godfather Green Bay.

Go to Bart Starr's restaurant and get a Spagomlet.

Half spaghetti, half omelet.

It's awesome.

You know, I was curious.

So I looked up what a Spagomlet actually is.

Did

you find

something?

What it is, it's like...

a mixture of leftovers made into like not like a hot dish where it's like a casserole kind of thing but it's like an omelet kind of structure and it looks instead of egg it's it's um it looks like spaghetti noodles in that form I don't know

but it's not spaghetti noodles no it is but like

there's leftover stuff in it

It sounds like, like hangover, gross.

It doesn't sound good.

And I'm sure that's where Eric came up with it.

So I am looking at beef Wellington here.

It does look delectable.

The beef looks good.

And obviously it was created by Steve Wellington, who tripped one day and dropped his beef in a thing of bread and he came up with beef Wellington.

All right.

So Conrad says beef Wellington and a Spagomlet.

I'm going to say caviar.

I've never had caviar.

I'm not really a caviar kind of guy, but I've been to enough parties that were kind of swanky and They offered it and I just I never took it and I don't know why Because that used to be the go-to food when you were talking about rich people food And is it whale eggs or octopus eggs?

Fish eggs, some kind of fish eggs.

I just it just never appealed

to

me

and Thinking about it just doesn't why is it so sought-after fish eggs.

Yeah, I'll have a Kerner burger with a side of caviar

Okay, the other thing is a fluffer nutter.

I think I actually think that sounds pretty good Marshmallow and peanut butter.

It is you've had one.

I've had it.

Yeah,

where'd you get it?

Made it myself You made a fluffer nutter in the home.

Yeah So what did you do by like is it marshmallows like out of a can you sir a jar that you squeeze or something?

Have you ever had that like the marshmallow like paste kind of thing like probably freaking like

It's like in a peanut butter can pretty much.

OK.

And you just put it on each side.

And I want to stuff further and put bananas in it, too.

Now, that sounds very good, actually.

It was dynamite, but I don't think I'll ever have one because I looked at the facts.

You know,

it's not good for you.

I

mean,

just I'd rather just have a PB and J and just call it a day.

PB and J and hit the rack.

All right, so there you go, folks.

Let us know what is a food you've always wanted to try, but just haven't yet.

I'm very curious to see what people come up with.

I gotta tell you what is really driving me crazy lately.

I went to get moisturizer last night.

I was at Walmart in Marinette, and I needed moisturizer.

The Walmart in Marinette has locked up the moisturizer.

Not even like the designer moisturizer like my wife buys.

I get like $6 bottle moisturizer with some SPF.

Locked up last night at Walmart at 9.30 at night.

Are people stealing equate facial moisturizer?

Well, they must be.

Everything was locked up.

Face wash.

But there's stuff that's like much more valuable just out there on the shelves.

I don't understand that.

If any of our listeners, if there are any couch potatoes out there that are Walmart employees, please tell me why they are locking up the cheap moisturizer.

It wasn't even worth it.

I'm like, I'm not going to get a store employee to unlock.

I just wanted to get home.

I'd gone there straight from here and I went to the gym and I just, I wanted to go home.

So I have no moisturizer today because Walmart locks it up and I lost my patience.

You moisturize can read

yeah,

do you

a little bit here and there

yeah, I do it every day I didn't today.

I use my wife.

I use the good stuff today, but I I found that strange I don't think that is that a problem in America are people ripping off cheap moisturizer All right guess I'm on an island here Okay, so Sherry Stoker is coming up at 635 Peter Van Doran with some fantasy football talk at 720

And when we come back, I'm going to tell you another thing that really irritates me, and it involves GPS.

We'll do that next.

It's Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Pacific Media Radio Network.

Welcome back.

I'm Pete Schwabba.

This is Nightlight.

A fun, fun, fun till our daddy takes the Teebert away Wednesday night here.

Great to have you with me.

We are talking about the Fluffernutter.

That's our question of the night, folks.

It's National Fluffernutter Day.

What is a food you've never tried but would like to?

So are you are you giving me like the steel sign?

Are you telling me there's the phone calls not there anymore?

Call back, please call or we hate missing calls here I have to tell you this drove me crazy and I wrote a note and I kind of forgot about this because the last time I was in Madison I was on the west side.

I had no idea where I was and I'm using my GPS in the car and it says turn southwest out of the parking lot Who know like

That's ridiculous.

I don't know where I am.

I don't know which direction is south or west.

I'm not like one of those people who can read the coordinates of the sun and tell where I am.

It's like I just want to get back to the highway.

So who do I complain to about that?

I don't know.

And the best thing to do is like if your GPS steers you wrong as it does sometimes just pull out onto the road and then it'll tell and then when you know what road you're on.

But the parking lots are crazy.

Turn Southeast.

OK.

No idea.

Hey, we have a winner, folks, to the Go for the Green and Gold Civic Media Multistate Text-to-Win Contest.

It's Dennis from Minakwa.

He listens to Civic Media on WCQM.

He is the grand prize winner.

That's exciting.

And you know what he's gonna he's gonna rake it in on that gas money because that's like a what a two-hour drive three-hour drive So he really cleaned up there congratulations Dennis and thank you everybody for playing that was such a fun contest.

We'll do it again soon The other thing is the uber you sent me this and I literally just seen it I was gonna do a Hollywood beat about it, but some guy set the fire in Pacific Palisades that what do you think a sentence like that should be like I don't know if they determine like will he end up

Don't know did he end up killing somebody because of that or just ruining homes like what it'll be interesting to see what they do and what kind of sentence you get from that like Millions and millions of dollars in damage people's lost homes and memories.

Is that a life in prison situation?

I Mean you kind of think about isn't that kind of arson?

What's totally arson?

I mean absolutely, but I mean like I just wonder how stiff

If this guy gets like five years of probate.

Hey, don't do that again It's not gonna be that but I mean yeah, it should be something something I'm not a death penalty guy anyway, but like that should be You you purposefully set a fire that takes out an entire neighborhoods That should be a question 20 20 years 20 years Yeah

Maybe more.

The guy's obviously nuts.

Who does that?

I'm going to set a fire and ruin people's lives.

How many homes were lost is just wild.

I mean, Pacific Palisades is huge.

And that's where the Will Rogers Park was.

I was talking about the other night on the show that we used to take our kids to all the time.

The Will Rogers Museum was there.

That's gone.

Just horrible.

So that'll be interesting.

I wonder what somebody would get.

Like, what kind of punishment for that?

There you go.

All right.

We are going to read some text here.

We got our social media responses.

We post our question of the day every day on Facebook, folks.

So you can find the question there if you can't listen to the show.

We'll still read it.

Conrad leading things off.

Beef Wellington.

I did not put my response on social media today.

I don't know why I didn't do that.

Daniel Wheeler.

Daniel Wheeler says it's a toss up between caviar and human.

Okay.

Let's maybe start a file on Daniel, FBI, if you're listening.

That's a great answer.

Mike Desitel says, sounds like a porn hub, job description.

That's what I thought, Mike.

I thought it sounded kind of obscene.

Eric on Facebook says, oh, I know what this is.

We just talked about this last week.

Surstromming.

That's the guy that ate something and puked and couldn't wash it out of his system.

Yeah, I don't think I'd want to try that.

He says so I can cross it off my culinary bucket list and because it would probably be funny making a video where the smell of something like that gives me the dry heaves.

Yeah, I think My pal Vince Moranto says I've actually never tried a fluffer nutter me either Vince That's what I said.

That's one of my two.

That's one of my two foods the fluffer nutter So I am I'm totally with you A great movie opening up this week to folks roof roof man

Starting Channing Tatum and Kristen Dunst.

And this is based on a true story.

A war veteran rips off McDonald's by going in through the roof.

And it's getting very good reviews.

All the big openings this weekend on the big screen are getting good reviews.

So I might go to two or three movies this weekend if we get them all in Marinette anyway.

But that one sounds like a really good one.

I was excited about that.

Going to the stream, Sydney Politics says a foodie would like to try but hasn't yet.

A hachapori.

It's a Georgian dish that is a cheese-filled bread with an egg on it.

Please look it up.

That sounds amazing.

Look at Sydney giving us homework.

Georgian meaning America or is that like a Russian thing?

I don't know.

probably Georgia.

It sounds like a southern kind of thing.

Sydney also says, I beat Dave to the comments.

Yes, you did, Sydney.

Very friendly rivalry with the emoji to follow.

I love it.

In just a few minutes, folks, Sherry Stoker will be here.

She's a nutritionist and a dietitian and the founder of Wayless MD who will join us here at 635.

We're going to talk about how one woman

live to be 117 and Sherry has lots of other great health tips, always so much fun to talk to.

So we'll have Sherry on over the stream, Peter van Doren talking fantasy football at 720, changing up the subjects tonight, folks, we're going to cover a few different bases.

In the 217 says I want to try peanut butter soup.

Interesting.

I think that's good.

Like, I love like spicy peanut noodles like

I bet there's a really good soup like that.

That's ENSA from Madison sent that text.

All right, we're coming back.

We'll read your texts.

We're having a lot of fun here.

Great to have you here, folks.

It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight.

We'll be back after the news on the Civic Media Radio Network.

Wow, but this is nightlight.

Culver, or I'm sorry, Culver.

Tyler on the text line, he's in the 608 says, the Culver's Curder Burger, refer to my poem from last night's question of the night.

Yeah, that's not on my list of things to try.

And then we've got, here's Jameson in the 814 says, a peanut butter and pickle sandwich sounds terrible, but is the best combo.

All right.

You pregnant, Jameson?

That sounds like one of those crazy combinations.

Tonight's question, folks.

What is the food you haven't tried yet that you've always wanted to?

It's National Fluffer Nutter Day.

Conrad's tried one.

I have not.

That's on my list, as is Caviar.

But right now, let's turn this... This kind of goes hand in hand with our first guest, because she is a dietitian and a nutritionist, and also the founder of Wayless MD, just outside the great city of Milwaukee.

And we'd love to talk to her about all things health.

She joins us now on the stream.

Sherri Stoka.

Hey, Sherri.

Hello.

How are you?

Good.

It's good to see you.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

I'm good.

You can see I have my friend with me.

Who is this?

Who is this friend?

This is Gigi.

Okay.

She's my she's my little mini Dalmatian.

Oh, very cute.

Is it a

puppy?

No, she's gonna be actually she's gonna be four next week.

She's I yeah, no, she's just small.

So

You know, they have minis now of everything and I just happen to get a small Dalmatian.

I know I'm asking this, I know what the answer is going to be, but do you feed your dog as nutritionally as you feed your family or yourself?

I totally do.

I'm like totally crazy.

I actually just ordered something for her.

heard like dental care and I received it today looked at the ingredients put it back in the bag and submitted return like I'm like this is craziness so yeah I do

why what was it like high fructose corn syrup or something what was in it

no there was parabens which are like known to be like endocrine endocrine disruptors that just like destroy metabolism

and then there

were also preservatives in it

yikes

Um, and I, I think I know where you're going to weigh in on this too, but I wanted to ask you our question last night was how do you feel about the Curder Burger?

You know, here in Wisconsin, Culver's kind of rules and Culver's is great.

They have this Curder Burger.

Have you heard of it?

No.

Okay.

Well, I mean, I've heard of Culver's and I know that they're famous for their burgers, but I've never, I've never really dove deep into like

the, you know, the ingredients and the nutrients, macronutrients and things like that.

All right.

So here's what happened.

Culver's put out this joke of a burger that had a big flat patty of a cheese curd in one big flat patty on top of a huge burger.

And they called it the Curder Burger and people went to Culver's and found out it was a joke and they were irate.

So Culver said we better make the Curder Burger a real thing.

So they did.

And now people, you know, I would say about half and half was our response last night.

We got half the people that said it's the best thing ever and half people said I don't even want to see it.

But you should Google it.

I would love to know.

I kind of know.

Well, what would you want to know?

Because I already would be able to respond.

Yeah, I haven't tried it either.

I just have seen the pictures.

Oh, I

mean, just the taste of it.

I mean, anytime you mix like terrible fats, dairy, meat, you know what's going to taste good, you know, they put.

oils in there.

Yeah.

Like you eat really well.

I mean, do you ever have like in your moments of weakness?

If you have them?

What do you eat?

Do you do you binge and you say, What the hell?

I'm getting nachos Belgrondi or do you go I'm going to make a healthier junk food at home?

Exactly.

I

make a healthier junk food at home.

I find a way to get like my desserts.

I

find ways to satisfy sugar cravings in a totally healthy way.

And that's where it's like, I'm not the norm, I think for sure, because I work with a lot of dietitians as well.

And a lot of dietitians struggle with their weight.

I don't know.

I'm definitely, I've always kind of been like, I mean, I haven't

I have not always had a healthy diet and things like that, but I've learned over the years.

And now, as I get older, I just, yeah, I find different ways to just satisfy what my body is craving.

Real quick, what would you do?

Because I just gave up, I didn't give up completely, but I'm doing a new thing like I always am.

And sugar, I want out of my life.

specifically processed sugar.

But also, what do you do, though, to eat healthy and satisfy that sugar craving?

Is there like a banana?

What is there?

What can we eat that might help us do that?

Well, I have like my famous concoction.

Oh my gosh.

Okay, so I do.

So you can get like really healthy, clean protein powder that has healthy ingredients and it has like natural sweetener, but they will put maybe a little stevia in there.

You know because protein powders are kind of like the wild wild west just like everything else like you have to find the right one because otherwise it could be Just as damaging as everything else, but a really clean protein powder with a I do I love nut butters.

I love cashew.

I love coconut You know, I don't I don't love almond butter things like that, but some people do and then I'll do

you know like on like a nut yogurt and it's like it's honestly like a dessert i'll mix it all i'll blend it and i'll eat that like either in the morning or i'll eat it like late at night if i like if i really want something sweet that's kind of like my go-to but um the one quick protein bar that i just i don't know i found i don't think it's terrible and just a little bit is like satisfying is the um

Oh my gosh, now I'm blanking on it.

It's the, what is it?

It's the egg whites.

They call it, I can't believe I'm blanking

on it.

Is it the company that makes like the peanut butter cups and they're supposed to be low carb?

They have like two net carbs?

No,

I don't think so.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm blanking on it, but it's like.

they have like they're known to have like three ingredients in the protein bar and it does have some at it has a lot of added sugar but everything is else is really clean and I'm more about the cleanness of a product versus if I get a little extra sugar I'm fine with that because I like I work out a lot but it's more about the process stuff I think is what's really destroying people

yeah

That's good advice.

Shari Stoka is my guest.

She is a nutritionist and a dietitian and the founder of Wayless MD.

Where can people find out more information about Wayless MD, Shari, outside of the

Google?

Yeah, I mean, we have a website, you know, we're all over social media.

I have, I do a ton of talks and webinars and radio.

WaylessMD.com is our website.

And I mean, you know, nowadays you can really just kind of like

put it in your search and it's going to lead you to who knows where.

All right, so I explained earlier to listeners, I always want to have you on the show, but this article in particular really got to me about this woman who lived to be 117.

Her name is Maria Brownes or was Maria Brownes.

She died last year.

I don't think it's ageism if I say that's pretty old.

That's a pretty good run.

Do you, I mean,

What are you just off the top of your head?

You must, as a nutritionist or dietitian, think, oh, she took care of herself.

Oh, she didn't eat this.

What did you think?

Did you happen to take a look at the article?

I did.

OK.

Yeah, I

did.

So we could break it down a little bit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, because you do kind of have to break it down a little bit, because it's never one thing, right?

Right.

It's kind of like, how much toxicity are you going to allow in your body?

And you know, when I was reading the article, the first thing that caught my attention is that she was born in San Francisco and she moved to Spain.

So I don't know.

We all know about European food versus American food.

There's no comparison.

What we allow in our food system in America is nowhere near.

what is allowed in European countries.

So

she had the advantage right off the bat there.

Right.

I love what she says.

She claims her longevity was due to order, tranquility, good connection with family and friends, contact with nature, emotional stability, no worries, no regrets, lots of positivity, staying away from toxic people.

That all sounds great.

That's not very scientific, I would say, but

I think we could all do better with that.

But some of the researchers, the research team detected signs of aging.

They also found that she had genetic characteristics associated with neuro protection and cardio protection, as well as low levels of inflammation.

Can you explain that a little bit?

Well, I mean, the first thing that I want to go back to is the things that she said, order tranquility, because I wrote this down like my notes

too.

tranquility, emotional stability, no regrets, positivity, avoiding toxic people.

We have gotten so far removed from the basics of human health.

That is the basics of human health.

Like people don't realize that every time you are in a situation that stimulates the nervous system, that causes

the parasympathetic, sympathetic responses, inflammatory responses.

That's just as bad as eating McDonald's every day, you

know,

not eating at night.

All of that takes a toll from from a cellular level.

And that is how they heal disease back in the day.

We're just as humans in the modern world are so far removed from that.

So like, if you did those, nobody does this anymore, right?

Go back to it.

Nobody does this.

We're in a stress state at all times.

We're constant like social media.

Forget about it.

Yeah, it's stimulating this stressful situation.

We want to be better.

We got to say we got to we got to meet all of these demands.

Every people that are negative that are like drama.

I mean, those people I feel bad for.

And there are people like that that that's how they get their dopamine.

they they and I don't even know if sometimes if they know they're doing it it's just like a reflex almost

it 100%

yeah and I like I agree with what she said I didn't mean to dismiss it but I'm also like well that's hard to do like

I don't know what kind of life she had, but yeah, I could sit out in the country.

When I sit on my porch in the morning of coffee, I feel amazing, you know, and then you get into the day, then I got to go to Twitter and track down a friend.

And the first thing that comes up is all stuff they know is going to piss me off.

So it's like, you can't get away from it, it seems like.

Well, you know, see, I'm not going to go down the spiritual realm with you because, you know, we all have lessons to learn in our lifetime.

Sure.

And sometimes it just takes, it takes time.

for us to kind of like collect and gather different things that are gonna help me ensure that we are living our best life.

And you know, like you and I both, like everyone that's listening to this, we've all endured like extreme stress and you learn from those situations, right?

So you learn from those situations, you make it better, like you start to set boundaries.

And you move in a direction that that doesn't put you in that chronic state of stress at all times.

So, you know, it, it's just, it's, it's complicated.

Yeah.

But I feel I do, I absolutely feel like just the little things that we can be doing.

It's like, I have a family and I like look at my family and I'm like, this person just sucks my energy.

This person is

gives me peace.

Like, that's what we should be surrounding ourselves.

Right.

You know, what people that and not only people, but just like foods that make us feel good.

Yeah, we're kind of a little removed from that.

All right, we're gonna do a very short break.

We'll come back for a few more minutes with Sherry Stoker.

I'm gonna ask her about inflammation and what the researchers found.

And then we'll get into.

Oh my God, I got so much to ask you Sherry.

Thank you for being here.

This is fun.

We're coming right back.

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

Every day is the next hour.

Welcome back.

This is Night Light.

I'm Pete Schwabba, broadcasting live from beautiful downtown Green Bay statewide.

Wherever you're tuning in from, it's great to have you tonight.

My guest is Sherri Stoka.

She is a nutritionist and dietitian and the founder of Wayless MD.

Check them out.

They will help you lose weight and get healthy.

What's that like, Sherri?

You must just beam when you have someone come in and they leave six months later, a year later, or whatever, and they feel like a totally different person.

I mean, absolutely.

I was put on this planet to help heal, serve, you know, I mean, and a big part of all of it is helping people understand kind of just sift through just the nonsense and understand the truth of like what is really going on.

I think that's like even more so kind of a big passion of mine is

putting information out there for people to like take a step back and think like oh my gosh yeah like I need to stop doing what I'm doing because that is hasn't worked for 20 years and I just were continuously told certain things and we keep doing it right so yeah so we we I am very proud of of what I've created because um we treat people

The way that they need to be treated and we're all about healing the body It's all about healing the body so that the the weight loss can be you know, like long-term

What you know when when it came to Maria Brandius and the researchers they said she had a very low level Well the two things I'd like to hit on that she had a very low level of inflammation in her body And I know that you and I have talked in the past about I never feel better than when I'm fasting and I can tell

how much better I feel because the inflammation goes down.

How important to life longevity is low inflammation?

And how do you get it?

How do you stop inflammation?

Yeah, I mean, well, inflammation is everything.

So every, okay, not every, because you can never say every, but almost every single disease.

that someone gets, it starts with inflammation and inflammatory process.

Because the inflammation, if you just think about it, if you injure something, you injure like your hand or your arm and you have like short-term inflammation and the body comes and heals.

It is now in this day and age, we have chronic inflammation.

So the damage is always there and the immune system is always trying

to correct and heal.

And so if we're constantly doing things that are sabotaging our health, we are exacerbating kind of that inflammatory response, that inflammatory condition.

So if you're more prone to get autoimmunity, if you're more prone to get cancer, if you're more prone to cardiovascular, it's all about the immune system in the inflammatory process because they work.

They work hand in hand.

So it's basically like the more inflammation you have, the quicker your disease will manifest.

Wow.

And I think the last time we spoke, you said carbs will do carbs enhance inflammation or certain kinds of carbs.

Like I feel like when I'm on a lower carb, when I'm not eating as many carbs, I feel better too.

Yeah.

Well, again, let's go back to the standard American diet.

So if you eat real whole grains, real, like in Spain or in Paris, that is a very different story.

But in the United States of America, our carbs are no longer carbs.

They're stripped of all the nutrients.

They're stripped of the grain.

they're they're they're absolutely inflammatory so that's why like in America we have to be low carb because you can't really find whole grains anymore unless you're like baking baking your bread at home and doing all that sort of things you cannot find good grains

anymore.

We've talked about in the past gut health too and another thing in this article They said she had ate a lot of yogurt in her life and had very good gut health I don't eat a lot of dairy and my wife eats a lot of probiotics and yogurt and I would love to get the benefits of that First of all talk about how important gut health is and also how do you how do you get those probiotics like this?

Maria Brandius did if you don't eat dairy yogurt

Well, again, you're not getting any probiotics in the standard American diet and you're not getting any probiotics in dairy in the United States.

Everything is processed.

So if you go, if you were to go to a farm and like, so I live in Florida part time and I go to a farm and I get their natural yogurt and it is full of healthy probiotics.

Here it's

stripped, it's pasteurized, it's heat treated, you don't get anything.

And so when that article, that's why the article can be somewhat deceiving, because dairy here is terrible.

It's awful.

And now it's like, oh my gosh, people are probably thinking, oh my gosh, I need to eat yo-play.

I mean, yo-play is probably one of the worst foods ever, right?

Sargento cheese is poison.

And so this is kind of like the message is food was designed to nourish us and keep us healthy, but now it doesn't because it's a commodity.

It's all about the money.

Wow, that's fascinating.

And we have about 30 seconds and we have to do the news.

Can you stay for a few more minutes after the news?

I would love to ask you about how we get hooked on drugs from...

Doctors and pharmaceutical.

I know that's a passion of yours as well.

But how is this something that people like?

Well, let's do the news and we'll come back.

I don't want to rush these questions.

I'm getting education here.

I

got

time.

All right.

Fantastic.

Sherry Stoker is

here.

Conrad, I think we need an update.

What's going on?

The Brewers, it's three to four against the Cubs right now.

The Cubs are winning.

My Cubs are going to make it a series.

Maybe.

There's still time left in the game.

I couldn't care less.

All right, we're coming right back, folks.

Sherry Stoker's going to stick around for a few more minutes.

She's the founder of Wellness, Wayless MD, a great outfit.

You should definitely check out.

And we're going to talk about the pharmaceutical industry a little bit and some more gut health.

And I'm going to ask her if she's binge watching anything too.

We'll do that as well.

It's Peach Wabbit and Nightlight.

We're coming back for EC2 after this on the Civic Media Radio Network.

you

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.

This is Night Light with Pete Chihuahua.

Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now a guy who prefers to travel by catapult, Pete Chihuahua.

Hey,

welcome back

to Night Light.

Great to have you with me With as we kick off act two here.

We will be back to our guest Sherry silka in just a moment We are talking health nutrition Longevity living a healthy life and we will continue to do so.

We'll keep Sherry for just a few more minutes Pete van Doren is here That's a cool name Conrad.

We've established

Peter van Doren sounds

very important And yet he's here to talk about fantasy football, but that'll be fun at 720

If you missed hour number one, our question of the night is, in honor of the fluffernutter, it is National Fluffernutter Day.

That is a sandwich with peanut butter and marshmallow.

It's nothing obscene.

It's supposed to be a very tasty sandwich.

I've never tried one.

But our question of the night is, what is a food you've always wanted to try but never have?

So let us know.

We also talked about, I went in to get moisturizer last night at Walmart.

It's locked up.

Yeah.

It's equate.

It's $4 a bottle.

I don't get this expensive stuff that my wife, I don't need it, it's locked up.

You know how hard it is to find a Walmart employee at 10 o'clock at night to get my crappy moisturizer?

It's ridiculous.

Conrad's not watching the game, you can listen to me.

He's like trying to let me see you're not watching the game.

You know what, I'm done, I don't care, we're going back to

Sherry.

We have lotion talk from time to time with Dr. Kristen Leiser.

We talk about Lube and Lotion.

She's a doctor.

All right.

My guest folks is Sheri Stoka.

She is a nutritionist and a dietitian and she is the founder of Whalus MD.

Check it out.

They do great work there.

Sherry, we were in the middle of talking about gut health, and you said you can't get good probiotics here in the States.

So what do we do?

I mean, this woman who lived to be 117, the researcher said one of the things that kept her going was she had really good gut health.

She ate yogurt.

If we can't get that in the United States, I assume you can go to what, Whole Foods and get some good yogurt?

What do we do for gut health, especially if we're not huge dairy fans?

Yeah, well, you have to eat real food, right?

So probiotics and prebiotics come from fruits, vegetables, definitely dairy.

I mean, so we should be able to get it through our food, but we don't because our food is highly processed.

And when you process a food, you kill all of the live organisms and all the things that provide the nutrients for our gut health.

So typically, I mean, you definitely need to

try your best to eat a whole foods diet, but now there's a lot of different supplements and powders and things like that that we're constantly working with people on to feed that healthy gut bacteria.

The gut is foundational to human health.

It's foundational to your brain.

It's foundational to your hormones.

And again, the standard American diet is what is

the the cause of really a lot of all these chronic diseases.

That is just what is it better?

I know people who keep the weight off, but they eat crappy food.

And then I know people who are a little overweight and eat pretty healthy.

If you had to choose, what's what is it better to do?

Carry extra weight and eat healthy or not carry any weight and eat not so healthy.

I mean, it all comes down to your metabolic health.

So you could have somebody who's gonna get away with eating like completely unhealthy foods, they're genetically whatever they're just thin.

And looking at the full picture, they're not gonna live very long where you can have a, you know, someone with a higher BMI and maybe, you know, they're eating healthy, they're metabolically, they're solid.

And, and so that's where you have to take it to the next level because it's not just about, it's not just about the weight, but I feel like, you know, weight loss, I'm actually starting this whole transformative mission to try to reshape the future of like weight management and help people think differently about it because I mean, we have got to stop talking about calories and we have got to stop talking about, oh, just exercise more.

So I mean, it's more complicated and we've, we've just

gotten a little, we've gotten far removed from like the foundational things.

And like, I thought your article was so relevant because those are the foundational things like we need to sleep at night.

Okay, that's a big huge thing.

We need because that's going to regulate your hormones.

Like, so it is though, it's those things that do go a long way.

Alright, so in our email exchange earlier today, you you said also

The the healthcare system is kind of broken and they they're designed to get every human on drugs.

So How do you other than I mean assuming people don't have the time that you do to educate yourself because this is what you do?

What do we do?

We trust our doctors for the most part.

I mean

we have to take this on ourselves though, don't we?

I know that's that's that's the hard part because I always say, you know

empower yourself, don't just go into an appointment.

And if the doctor is like, oh, you have high cholesterol, let me put you on this, ask questions.

Be prepared before you go in.

And if a doctor is quick, they don't even ask you any questions, they're quick to put you on just another medication and compounding medication after medication.

You know it's time to really look in the mirror and start thinking about how do I do this?

You know, like lifestyle medications are lifestyle medications.

They're given to you because of your choices.

And whether you know it or not, which most people kind of do, I mean, I've been in the business long enough to know that people know what they're doing wrong.

What I will say is the problem with it is the food has hijacked our biochemistry and our neuroplasticity, like you were talking about.

It has hijacked that.

And so now we're not we're addicted.

It's kind of like crack cocaine.

It's kind of like telling someone, okay, I know you're addicted to crack cocaine, but we're going to put you on a regimen to kind of get off of the crack cocaine.

So I mean, I'm like, I know that sounds harsh, but it's the reality.

Oh, it doesn't crack is a great way to keep the weight off.

Alright, so before we let you go, Sherry, I want to ask you, you mentioned, where's my

I have another question for you, what did I do with it?

Okay, one thing, give us one thing we should avoid, food-wise.

If you never could eat anything again, what should we avoid if it's just one thing?

Can I say two things?

Yeah, of

course.

All right, I'm gonna say soda and pizza.

I had a feeling you were gonna say soda.

Pizza, really?

Okay.

But

why?

Because of the combination of carbs

and meat?

All the terrible stuff.

All the processed terrible stuff.

Now, if you were to make it homemade, and you get fresh cheese, and you're eating real meat, like again, it's just, it's, it's not about food is not supposed to be bad.

This is, this is the whole point.

Like, we're not supposed to be killing ourselves with food.

It's

what has happened to our food supply in the United States of America?

Wow.

Well, this has been an education as usual.

Thank you so much.

Are you binge watching anything?

You must watch TV.

You must get nutritioned out and dietitianed out and you just veg out at night ever and watch something.

What do you binge watch?

I mean, I am a learner.

I love to learn.

I like love it more than I wish I could take like a month off and just

Listen to stuff.

Wow TV wise.

I don't like I don't I Don't watch a lot of TV.

I because I don't watch the news.

So I will I'm a Okay, I am a light.

I am a hallmark junkie.

I like everything positive.

I'm like, I love the love stories.

I like graze anatomy.

I love the medical stuff like I love like I graze anatomy was like my favorite.

Yeah.

And, um, and my kids play soccer in college.

So now I'm like, I'm like, I have it on pause right now.

I'm going to watch my kids game from last night that I went to yesterday.

I'm like, such a sports kind of junk.

Are you breaking down tape for your kids?

Well, I know I'm watching it because when I'm at the game, I'm so stressed and I can't even enjoy it.

So now, so now I'm like, I'm going to watch it in a relaxed state because I already know, I already know the

outcome.

That's relaxed.

And that is I have, if you like medical dramas, I've only seen a couple episodes, the pit on HBO is supposed to be like, I mean, I think it won the Emmy for the best TV

show,

medical drama, check it out.

And it's the least I could do for all you've shared here with us tonight.

Thank you so

much

for your time.

As always, my friend.

Thank you so much.

You're very welcome.

Sherry Stokey.

This is Sherry Stokey.

Check out WaylessMD, folks.

Give it a Google and see what she can do down there.

She's very knowledgeable as you just found out.

So Conrad, score update?

This is still the same

score.

Four three?

Four to three Cubs.

What are we looking at?

What ending are they in?

Top of the ninth, I believe.

Oh, wow.

All right.

Well, we got some, you know, we got some sports talk coming up with our buddy, Peter Van Doren.

is gonna be here shortly.

It's gonna be here in studio.

I'm very excited.

And we gotta get to some of our texts.

Our question of the night is what is one food you've always wanted to try, but have just never gotten around to it, but you still wanna try.

And we'll start here at the bottom.

Oh, we got a lot of texts we gotta get to.

Okay, so Everett from Sun Prairie and the 262, or he's in this, his phone is in the 262, says Pete.

I was a cook for many years and had the good fortune to try a lot of foods that aren't terribly common.

One thing I always thought looked oddly delicious but haven't gotten to try is a Cambodian street snack fried tarantula on a stick.

Yeah, I don't know about

that one.

Mouthwatering.

And when I mean mouthwatering, I mean the bile that comes up right before you puke.

Every continues, especially if the dipping sauce is good.

I know it's weird, but since when has deep frying not made something finger-looking good?

Well, that's kind of the problem.

Remember the Kentucky Fried Chicken sandwich last night with the two chicken patties around lettuce or something?

It was terrible.

It

was two chicken patties.

And there was cheese in the middle of it.

I

feel like called the double the KFC double or something

like the double double or something double double stack.

Yeah.

Thank you, Everett.

That's great.

Steve from Florida Conrad's dad checking in says a must to try as we talked about last night is the Culver's Curder burger.

But the dish I also wanted to try was the Beverly Hills Billy's Granny Clampett's famous possum stew.

Yeah, that

sounds gross to Steve.

I

don't that's something you want to try dead.

I don't

little possum soup on the side of your Curder burger.

I think your dad's trying to

leave this earth.

I hope not, Steve.

That's a great text, though.

Ross from Crawford County says a few beers after a few beers, I might try pickled pigs feet.

Oh, that's gross.

You ever see that in the supermarket?

No, it's just check it out.

You'll probably hurl.

Paula Conrad's mom says I have never tried a fluff or nutter, but it sounds like a mellow cup with peanut butter.

Oh, that's interesting.

Yeah.

They had it was so weird at our local grocery store in Marinette.

They had this they took all the candy out and it was all mellow cups And I didn't even thought of the mellow cups since like 1982.

I didn't know they still made them and they had a whole Display of them.

This is in Marinette like three four years ago.

Mm-hmm Thanks, Paula

Jameson did we read Jameson's text here's a Brett from the 920 says a blue banana Yes, they really exist and Kobe beef He said Colby beef, I think he meant Kobe beef that's

like Colby Jack cheese Colby beef That's not a thing is it?

Yeah, I think he

means Kobe Kobe beef is good.

I would try a blue banana

Tyler from the Wisconsin Rappers, do we read that one?

Yeah, it's probably one of us to read his poem again from last night.

Let's see, we'll get to the rest of your texts, folks.

Coming up next, though, is some fantasy football talk with our pal, Peter Van Doran.

He is gonna be in studio, and we will talk all things.

Fantasy, it's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio

Network.

I really wanna see you

I'm Pete Schwabba.

Great to have you with me.

It's Wednesday night, folks.

The game is dwindling.

We're probably going to get some some some.

Pass over from the game.

Some runoff, if you will.

Yeah, the game ended.

The game ended.

Yeah, the burgers lost.

You would have.

I figured they lost because I thought you'd be going crazy if they wouldn't.

I'm surrounded by Brewer's swag and a tire here.

They had the bases loaded.

It just didn't come through.

Did they really in the ninth in the eighth?

Wasn't it the eighth?

Yeah, the way the series is gone if you would have told me the Brewers had the bases loaded with No outs or two outs I would have said they're gonna get a run home right because it's just the way the Cubs have been playing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's the momentum of baseball

though.

It seems you know, I'm sorry boys I'm glad the Cubs are making a series as a cub fan.

That's all I can hope for at this point because I just think the Brewers are

You don't know what you could do.

Hey, that's the voice of Peter Van Doran.

Welcome, buddy.

Hey, thank you.

You work here at Civic Media and at WGBW.

I do.

Tell us what you do here before we get into your other area of expertise.

I'm an account executive.

I'm a multimedia specialist, if you will, because now in addition to radio promotion, we do have a variety of other ways that we can help to promote businesses.

We have a full.

of digital marketing solutions.

We're

also rolling out a new program here in Green Bay that we've had going on in some of our other markets throughout the state called Big Deals.

And it is really catered to entertainment and hospitality industry type businesses.

So if you have a coffee house or if you have a restaurant or a popular nightclub, it is a way for us to help promote you with, you know,

little outliner of cash.

Stop the sales pitch.

I'm in.

How much do you

need?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well,

that's kind of cool.

Yeah.

So it's a lot of fun.

So it's a lot of

fun.

So I've been really busy up here lately meeting with a lot of, you know, our neighbors,

which is always cool.

So that's a good area too.

There's a lot going on downtown here.

I would imagine just a good starting point.

But yeah, definitely.

Green Bay was a great place to be for that kind of stuff.

So for sure.

Well, you're here tonight to talk about fantasy base or fantasy football.

We talked about fantasy baseball last summer.

That was fun.

Yeah.

And we thought we got to do football.

So is this your like
