And now, a guy who never leaves the house without wearing a cup, T. Chwaba.

Welcome

Pete Schwaba

back, ladies and gentlemen for Act 2 of Nightlight on this glorious Friday night here in the state of Wisconsin.

Such a gorgeous night in our beautiful state.

It is a bar being Friday night, ladies and gentlemen.

Terry Barr will be here at 7.35 and she has got...

Outstanding music tonight, and she never ceases to amaze me.

So you're going to find out about some really great local stuff if you can stick around for Bar Band Friday night.

We talked about our least, well, not least favorite bands, but overrated bands.

That's our question of the night.

What is a rock band or a musician that is really overrated in your opinion?

I said holla notes.

I kind of said Bon Jovi too, but I pick on Bon Jovi a lot not that they care because they're Bon Jovi, but I said holla notes and Conrad said Taylor Swift.

Yes, I keep forgetting She broke my heart, you know, I'm trying to put that behind me.

Yeah, I know I'm sorry about my exes, you know and But a lot a couple people Chris Moreau civic media zone Chris Moreau said you too

I think they're underrated, if anything, but that's why this is such a great discussion.

So let us know who you think is overrated when it comes to rock bands or musicians, folks.

Conrad and I also talked, I talked about earlier when a guy passed me today on the right and then kind of juked around me and then passed the car in front of me on the left to make a left turn onto Main Street here in Green Bay.

It was horribly dangerous.

The guy was probably in his 70s with no shirt.

and moves, but he was in a hurry.

Conrad and I discussed where we thought that guy could be going.

The guy in his 70s with no shirt.

Where are you in a hurry?

I said the grocery store.

Maybe.

I don't know.

Maybe that should have been our question of the night.

Who knows?

Right now, it is my pleasure to bring back onto the show my guest who helped us close out the first hour.

She is the...

host of New Whisco Weekend here on Civic Media and does a great job as the news bureau chief here in Northeast Wisconsin as well.

And she's a good pal, Lisa Hale.

Welcome back.

Howdy,

howdy.

Howdy,

Pete Schwaba

howdy.

Thank you.

All right, you said you had, it's October.

Right.

And I

Pete Schwaba

think I would love to find out what you thought.

You saw two scary movies.

You've been watching them leading up to Halloween.

What can you recommend to listeners?

Lisa Hale

Ooh.

If you want me to recommend, I don't like scary movies like say the Friday the 13th and the saws and all that.

Oh, I hate the saws.

Yeah.

Oh, I really despise the saws.

Don't get me started.

But because, you know, I've outgrown that when I was younger.

Oh, yeah, slash a film was great.

But

Lisa Hale

now I've outgrown that I want more substance to my scary films.

So recent.

I go back, you know, there's classic scary films that I like.

The Others is one of the best ghost stories ever put on film, if you ask me.

Tell me you've seen The Others.

Pete Schwaba

I have not.

I haven't seen...

a high amount of scary films.

Because I don't like slash your film.

I don't mind being scared, but I don't need to see the special effect.

I

Lisa Hale

can't tell you anything more about

Pete Schwaba

the

Lisa Hale

others.

I can't say another word other than Nicole Kidman is in it.

You must watch.

Oh, but she's good.

And you must Christopher Eccleston's in

it.

Lisa Hale

You must watch the others.

Find it somewhere.

It is a ghost story to beat all.

I love it so much.

Pete Schwaba

Now, see, from 2001, an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, and that's kind of before Nicole Kidman turned really strange in my opinion.

So I will definitely check that out.

I love a good ghost story.

Lisa Hale

It's it is.

It's a good ghost story.

Another one that I really enjoyed that is a more recent film was Black Phone.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, I

Lisa Hale

really thought that was very, very well written.

And then if you want to go classic, kind of not even classic, but taking a classic monster per se.

And we're going to talk about vampires.

If you're going to watch any one vampire film, make it sinners.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, love sinners.

Uh-huh.

You know what?

Actually, that was my favorite movie of the year until I saw one battle after another, and now I would say they're still neck and neck, but sinners is a masterpiece.

Lisa Hale

It really is.

Pete Schwaba

It really is.

On all cylinders.

Yeah, it's great.

Those are both great recommendations, Lees.

Hey, do you mind if we give you a quick scary movie quiz?

Lisa Hale

You can?

I don't know that I'll do so good, but I'll try.

Pete Schwaba

I think you'll be OK.

I think you'll do just fine.

All right.

Lisa Hale is here, folks.

She is the host of New WISCO Weekend here on the Civic Media Radio Network.

You can hear it on WGW, or if you're listening on WISS, or you can go to civicmedia.us.

all the podcasts are catalogued from past shows.

It's a great show.

She has agreed to take the Nightlight classic Halloween movie quiz compiled by the kid Conrad.

You already look depressed Conrad.

The brewers haven't even started yet.

What is going on over there?

You look, you just look like it is a hang dog expression.

That's just

the thought

Pete Schwaba

of the brewers.

Lisa Hale

Oh, poor Con.

Pete Schwaba

Are you a brewer, families?

Lisa Hale

It's sports.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

Lisa Hale

It's one of those things that has a ball, and I know that people throw it or do something with it.

That's about the extent of my sports.

Pete Schwaba

I'm familiar with sports.

That's a good analogy of sports.

Thanks for breaking that down like only a journalist could.

Lisa Hale

That's me, honey.

Pete Schwaba

All right, here we go.

Our classic Halloween movie quiz, taken by Lisa Hale, number one.

And these are multiple guests.

So, and I will say, when I looked this over, the first question was the hardest.

So don't panic.

Okay.

In Hocus Pocus from 1993, what are the names of the three witch sisters?

Is it A, Pete, Peter and Patricia?

B. Winifred, Sarah, and Mary.

C. Serena, Elvira, and Morticia, or D. Konkani, or Cortado.

Lisa Hale

It's Winifred, Sarah, and Mary, definitely.

Pete Schwaba

Very well done.

Very well done.

You're going to sail through the rest of

this

Pete Schwaba

now.

All right.

Number two, what kind of creature is Michael Myers and Halloween from 1978?

A. A vampire, B. A teen wolf, C. A human serial killer, or D. A

Lisa Hale

ghost.

That one's so hard, a human serial killer.

Pete Schwaba

Yes, very well done.

I almost might have said ghost there because isn't he kind of dead or?

Lisa Hale

Kind of.

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

That's all right.

He could

Lisa Hale

be considered a zombie too because he's kind of not living.

Pete Schwaba

True.

That's kind of why I was thinking like you probably, we probably would have given you ghost as well.

Yeah.

Number three in Beetlejuice from 1988, what must you say three times to summon him?

A. Goosebumps.

B. Yummy.

C. Beetle juice.

Or D. It's dark outside.

Lisa Hale

You have to say Beetle breakfast, Beetle orange, Beetle juice, Beetle juice.

Perfect.

Beetle juice.

Pete Schwaba

Well done.

You are crushing this, Leesh.

You're three for three.

Number four, who is the friendly ghost in a 1995 Halloween themed family movie?

Is it A. Danny Phantom?

Love his work.

Be ghosty.

C. Schwab's or D. Casper.

Lisa Hale

It's D. Casper.

Oh my gosh.

I was so scared that you were going to be tough on me and these are easy.

Pete Schwaba

I feel like maybe we should have been, but you're doing well.

No.

Lisa Hale

No.

Pete Schwaba

Number five.

What kind of monster is the main character in Frankenstein from 1931?

A. A vampire.

B. A stitched together human creation.

D. A mummy or I'm sorry.

C. A mummy or D. Mark Wahlberg.

Lisa Hale

Okay, who came up with the ABC and D?

Was that Con or

Pete Schwaba

was that you?

Yeah, that's

Lisa Hale

Con.

Putting Mark Wahlberg in there was classic.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, he knows how to push my buttons.

Lisa Hale

Let's see.

I would say that Frankenstein himself was none of the above.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, well, he did say what kind of monster is the main character in Frankenstein?

Lisa Hale

Okay,

Pete Schwaba

well then

Lisa Hale

I'll give him that.

It's

Pete Schwaba

a

Lisa Hale

sitch-together human.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, awesome.

Well, you're cruising, my friend.

Five for five.

All right, number six.

What Halloween movie, only 94 mortigolis.

What Halloween movie features the quote, it's just a bunch of hocus pocus.

Is it A, the nightmare before Christmas, B, hocus pocus, C, the Adams family, or D, Jumanji?

It's hocus pocus.

Six for six.

Conrad, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Number seven, in the nightmare before Christmas in 1993, what is Jack Skellington's nickname?

Is it A, gross-looking thingy, B, the skeleton king, D, the pumpkin king, or D, the ghost host?

Lisa Hale

I don't know this one.

I think it's the skeleton king.

I think, but it could be the pumpkin king.

I think it's skeleton king.

Oh, no.

Pete Schwaba

I was trying to cheat for you, but I'm sorry that is not correct.

It's the Pumpkin King.

Yeah.

You had it with King.

You were very close.

All right, three more.

Here we go.

Okay.

What classic movie features a vampire named Count Dracula?

Oh, God, seriously?

Is it A.V.

Invisible Man?

B. Dracula.

C. The Mummy.

D. The Godfather of Green Bay.

Lisa Hale

It's Dracula.

Conrad, you're terrible at putting the Godfather Green Bay in there.

Pete Schwaba

He's averaging one per every other here.

He takes it funny.

You could have put Schwabs for that

one

Pete Schwaba

too.

Yeah, that's true.

All right.

Number nine, what type of creature is featured in the movie Gremlins from 1984?

Is it A, Zombies, B, Goblins, C, mischievous little monsters, or D, Tourists?

Lisa Hale

Well, it's see mischievous little monsters and aren't they called Mogwai Oh

Pete Schwaba

The bottom line is you got you got to answer right please I forgot about my way All right 10th and final question which of these is a Tim Burton movie a Coraline be monster house see paranormal or d beetle juice

Lisa Hale

That's not fair

why

Lisa Hale

I Think it's core line, but all of them I think had Danny Elfman music in it So it's like

Pete Schwaba

well the question is which of these is a Tim Burton movie

Lisa Hale

Right, and you know Tim Burton uses Danny Elfman all the time.

So that's how I connect.

Pete Schwaba

I think

Lisa Hale

it's core line though.

I think

Pete Schwaba

Unfortunately, I'm sorry it is Beetlejuice.

Lisa Hale

Oh

Oh,

Pete Schwaba

I thought you'd get that one.

Well, yeah, I thought, I thought.

Pete Schwaba

Lisa, you are tossed over.

And you are so much fun.

Thank you for being on this show.

Keep up the great work with New Wisco Weekend.

It's such a great show.

And I'm thrilled and honored to be a part of it.

And let's do this again soon.

Lisa Hale

Absolutely.

Pete Schwaba

All right, my friend.

Have a great night.

Don't watch too many scary movies.

You'll be up

Lisa Hale

early.

No, nothing keeps me awake.

Are you kidding?

I'm a journalist.

We sleep through anything.

Pete Schwaba

I believe that.

All right.

Have a great night.

Thank you, Lisa Hale.

Bye.

Bye.

Check out Newisco Weekend, folks, and check out her newscast.

She is so good at, you know, I'm always kind of fascinated by people who are good at news and they're good at something else, too, like hosting a show.

Because have you ever done news con?

You ever broke a story?

No.

See, I could never keep my cool.

I was like, oh my God, listen to this.

And that's not how we can do things.

That's a way to grab attention, though.

Yeah, who's this moron?

Let's go to some text.

We're kind of behind on our text.

Our question tonight is, what is your name a band?

What rock band or musician is really overrated?

I forgot I put really in there.

From the 920 Wait, where am I?

I'm sorry from the 608 John Murray says hanging with his Is that not for us

that is for what that guy is doing Speeding past you.

Where is he going?

He's hanging with the side piece at the park.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, she must be a catch based on his wardrobe That's great.

I did tell people to text him about that.

I missed that somehow.

All right, and John says I go man go

All right, we will finish it.

We will read more of your texts coming up next.

Almost a whole block for texts.

That's what we do here at Nightlight.

And Terry Barr coming up at 7.35 for Bar Band Friday night.

And don't go anywhere, folks.

We're coming back.

This is a very short break.

Pete Schwaba

Nightlight with Peachwaba.

It's a fun Friday, Con.

You gotta admit.

I agree.

Pete Schwaba

I know you're trying to preemptively be depressed about the viewers.

I get it.

You know, I thought about this, you know, it's already happened.

The game two and game three kind of is just like, all right, nothing else can hurt me

Pete Schwaba

now.

Here's what I will say.

If it has a game, has anyone ever been down three, oh, in baseball and come back?

Okay.

The Red Sox.

Yes.

David Ortiz is on the team.

I figured what year it was.

Pete Schwaba

That was incredible.

Netflix actually just dropped a documentary on that team, which is, I might watch that.

Sounds

Pete Schwaba

pretty cool.

Maybe like 03, 01, something like that.

Was David Ortiz

Pete Schwaba

there?

Yeah.

Big Pappy, right?

Yeah, Big Pappy.

I thought it was in the early 2000s, but he, but listen, all I'm going to say is if the Brewers are able to somehow come back, how, how Euker like, like, I mean, I guess, yeah, that's.

people would lose their minds and say, this is some kind of euchar intervention, right?

Well, it all starts with one game at a time.

Pete Schwaba

One

game.

They just got to win today.

Pete Schwaba

Just a little bit of momentum.

Absolutely.

Our question of the night, folks, is you still have time to get in on this if you want, is what rock band or musician is really overrated?

And in the 608, we've got...

Anna from Madison says, hi, Pete and Conrad.

The most overrated rock band is Kiss.

That's number two for Kiss Tonight.

The most overrated performer is Kanye West.

This afternoon, I saw No Packers, No Life, a great movie.

I'm so excited to see that.

Was Todd Alba out there today?

Yeah, he might have been.

I think he did like a remote.

But one of the songs that Terry is bringing us tonight for Bar Band Friday Night in just a few minutes is from that movie, and it's really good.

Great text, Dan.

Thank you.

John from the 608 says, ZamFear is so overrated.

Pan flute, come on.

That's a great text, John, but maybe he's underrated as pan flutes go.

I just don't know enough about the pan flute, but great text.

Angie from Monroe in the 608 says, hey now, it's more like alcohol than someone with the marijuana.

No, it's still the where he's going

Pete Schwaba

the guy with no shirt in the mobs maybe Thanks, Angie John Murray also in the 608 says whole was talentless.

Oh, that's a Kurt Cobain's Courtney loves band.

Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan either John Angie from Monroe says kid rock totally agree.

Yeah, you don't like him.

Do

Pete Schwaba

you?

I don't like him Get write your own song stop sampling

And

Pete Schwaba

you put a shirt

on.

You didn't like his hair or something like

Pete Schwaba

that?

I don't like much about him.

But you know what?

I did like a couple of his tunes again.

The one he did with Cheryl Crowe, kind of an ice ballad.

I liked it.

But it's something I don't know.

I don't know what it is.

I'm not a huge fan of his music.

And maybe he's great.

Look, this is my opinion.

I don't know much about music.

Bridget from the 818 says Beyonce.

That's as controversial as Kid Rock, no?

She dresses better though.

I would say

Pete Schwaba

John from Madison again in the 608 Britney commercial only can't sing live.

There's a lot of people like that Britney Spears Britney Spears.

Yeah, and I think Madonna was like that too Madonna like they had tracks of her singing and they played them and released him apparently it was awful Tony the trucker in the 608 says Pete don't understand the village people's music However, I do get the diverse costumes.

Yeah, I'm with you there Tony.

They had a couple cool tunes though

How much money have they made off YMCA?

It's at every wedding.

Not that you have to pay a residual for that, but macho man in the Navy.

Come on, the hits just keep on coming, Tony.

Steady Eddie says, Pete Taylor Swift is way overrated.

Her net wealth is 1.6 billion.

Are you kidding me?

She is pretty.

A cultural phenomenon and a great businesswoman.

But to me, she is a mediocre music

maker.

Totally agree.

Pete Schwaba

You guys are kindred spirits, Conrad.

Hollinote's overrated, yes, but the song Sarah Smile is beautiful.

Yeah, I like Sarah Smile.

That's a good one.

And she's gone.

He says, I picked the Beatles over the Stones.

I think they were more creative and willing to experiment and grow and knew when to call it quits.

The Stones are still doing their same old hits 60 years later.

Why?

I'll tell you why, steady Eddie.

Cha-ching.

Yeah, the only reason for them to keep doing it.

Pete Schwaba

I mean, and what else are they going to do?

Like, if Mick Jagger isn't up on stage dancing around, what is he going to do?

Like, I think that's a job I would never retire from.

The rush has got to be amazing.

I'm sure they get sick of the songs, but maybe they've got such a huge song catalog.

They probably, you know, mix it up sometimes.

But thank you steady Eddie as usual Monica from Mount Horrib in the 608 says hoody in the blowfish all their music sounded the same That's interesting Monica.

I when you said that I was like hoody in the blowfish, okay?

I liked a couple of their songs, but I'm with you that they all sounded the same and As a result they didn't last that long

quick question.

What's one of the friends characters kissed one of the blowfishes?

Pete Schwaba

Monica

It was, yeah.

It was Monica, right?

And it was a blowfish, though.

It wasn't Hootie.

Hootie had already broken off and gone his own.

Darius Ruckers got his own career and everything.

I just want to say this.

This drives me crazy.

I write these Hollywood beats, and I comb all the trade papers and all the gossip stuff, looking for fun stories that I can write up, make a joke about, or just be informative, because I break all the big stories, like Lisa Hill.

This drove me crazy.

The New York Post is the worst.

The fall of an icon, Diane Keaton's cause of death revealed after shocking passing at age 79.

Then you read the article and it's like, well, she died of pneumonia.

She wasn't young and she battled skin cancer.

It's such a misleading headline.

Well, it's, you know, they do it to get the clicks.

Of course they do, but sometimes they don't.

It's not like everything they post is like that.

So when this I was like, oh my God, what was she into?

Like I was expecting heroin

or

Pete Schwaba

meth or something.

And it's like, oh, she's that pneumonia, like many people who are 80 years old.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to get you too excited, but in just a few minutes, our pal Terry Barr will be here.

It's a bar band Friday night and we are coming right back.

It's Pete Schwabba in

Nightlight.

Time

to check out original music with Bar Band Friday on Nightlight.

Now your host Pete Schwabba and special guest Terry Barr.

Pete Schwaba

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to one of our favorite times of the week.

It is 7.35 on a Friday night, and that can only mean one thing, our pal and MaxSync radio co-host and our Wisconsin music expert, Terry Barr joins us now over the stream, and she has outdone herself, folks.

If you don't like the music she brought this week, I will give you your money back.

It's free, Terry.

It doesn't matter to me.

How are you?

I'm good.

How are you and Conrad doing and how are all the listeners?

Pete Schwaba

So far, so good.

We have a great question tonight.

And I kind of chose this because I knew you would be here.

And the question is, what is a really overrated band or musician?

And, you know,

But it's kind of serendipitous, like it's a good question, but also Ace really passed away.

I know you're a huge Kiss fan, so I am sorry for your loss.

I don't mean that facetiously.

I know that we get connected to musicians and people that bring so much joy to our lives.

So I am sorry about his passing.

But do you have a band that you think is overrated?

Someone who knows music?

I was

listening earlier, and

Pete Schwaba

I heard

someone say it was Kiss.

A

Pete Schwaba

couple people.

I would

absolutely argue against that, but that's okay.

I appreciate everybody's opinions.

You know, I had to really think about this and kind of think outside the box because when you listen to pop music, current pop music, I don't know, it all sounds the same and how are they making it and the people that are really so good are not.

But I think what really gets me is all the K-pop music.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

Are they singing?

Do they sing?

Do they

Pete Schwaba

write their

songs?

I just, I can't stand it.

Pete Schwaba

Conn, I'm going to change Terry's mind on that.

I think when we go to the break, a little BTS, let's fire that.

Well, you haven't played that in a while either.

So I think Conn read with you.

I give him all these songs.

He plays like two of them.

Um, so he either hates my taste in music or he finds it.

That's a good indication.

Pete Schwaba

Yes.

So I will agree with you though, like rock and roll all night.

Uh, I was made for loving you.

Detroit Rock City that was the first album.

My own was destroyer and I mean doctor loves a little thing.

I'm not saying they don't have their You know

every every band does but sure put out music in the way that they did and stood up and said we are going to be famous Yeah, it's like they had that mantra in their head when they were kids and they made it happen It's incredible.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, here's another here's another one.

I like of theirs

Oh, I just had it here.

Got a thunder.

No, no, no, no.

King of the nighttime world.

Oh, that's a great song,

right?

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

So sorry.

If you listen

to Ace Freyley's solo album, though, obviously it was the best seller of the time.

Pete Schwaba

That's what I hear.

Yeah.

Those songs back to back to back still stand up today.

Of course, New York groove is still played all the time.

Huh.

And the very first song on that album is actually my favorite.

It's called Rip It Out.

And he's talking about some girl that took his heart and ripped it out of his chest and how that felt.

And I just love it.

It's such a jam, too.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, that's great.

Yes.

I was just reading about him yesterday and how his solo album was.

Considered critically to the best of all of their solo albums because they all did one.

So

yes

Pete Schwaba

Anyway, I knew we were gonna have some some kiss talk with you when I was happy about that Absolutely Conrad's most overrated was Taylor Swift.

Mine was Hollanoots.

Oh, so, you know, okay, slightly controversial.

I don't know

Uh, let's jump into some music here tonight.

Oh my gosh.

You, I like both of these songs.

One of them blew me away.

I love it.

And it's part of a movie.

Should we start with that one or should we start with, uh, well Dylan Chambers or Driftless Horses?

It's your show,

Pete.

Pete Schwaba

I know, but... You

tell me which... Yeah, but... What

Pete Schwaba

are you feeling?

What are you feeling?

Let's go with, uh, Dylan Chambers first then.

Let's do an opening.

I feel like Driftless Pony Club is kind of a showstopper, so let's not let's let that headline.

But Dylan Chambers is a great tune.

I really like what you had to say about this in the connection to Wisconsin too.

It's incredible.

Sam Lyons is the connection to Wisconsin.

Born and raised in Madison.

He only moved to L.A.

a year ago and only because he wanted to see what would happen.

He felt young enough.

He didn't have any ties.

So off he goes.

He writes his whole new album out there.

It is now up for a Grammy.

So something, yeah, something is inspiring him.

He made it through the first round.

of voting for Grammys.

So again, his name is Sam Lyons, L-Y-O-N-S.

He comes back and plays around Wisconsin every couple of months.

So he hasn't left Wisconsin totally behind.

But why we're listening to this song tonight, it reminds me of so many people that go to Nashville to write songs for other people.

And

that's what happened with Sam.

He met this guy.

And the guy liked what Sam was already doing.

He said, would you write a song that I could do?

But I think they became such good friends through the process that Sam is on the song.

He's playing guitar.

He's doing background vocals.

And then he's the songwriter as well.

I just love

Pete Schwaba

that.

Wow.

So how old

Pete Schwaba

is

he?

Sam is still I think only in his 20s.

Pete Schwaba

That's impressive.

So yeah, I guess

if you're gonna do it do it then right?

Pete Schwaba

Absolutely.

You've

done it.

So you know

Pete Schwaba

I have but like to I've never been nominated for a Grammy because I can't sing but but he It's impressive that these I'm amazed when I hear lyrics like this from someone so young That's really what I find kind of fascinating.

Should we should we play this song?

Sure.

Pete Schwaba

This just dropped last night, right?

It did.

It's brand new off of Dylan Chambers' brand new album.

And this is one of the first songs that was released last night.

Pete Schwaba

I love it.

This is whatever happens compliments of Terry Barr through Sam Lyons and Dylan Chambers.

To find someone like you I must have done something right Cause you made my dream come true

Pete Schwaba

Great tune.

Love it.

Pete, I think we need to keep these names.

Dylan Chambers and Sam Lyons in front of us.

This sounds like a hit to me.

Pete Schwaba

Absolutely.

And if he's already Grammy nominated, that's incredible.

Has he been on Max Inc?

Yes, a long time

Pete Schwaba

ago.

It

was before he moved to LA.

But I need to actually get ahold of him and ask him next time he's in town to come back on with us.

He's the nicest guy.

He's so terrific.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, that's so great.

Yeah.

And you love seeing a nice, like you said, if you know him a little bit, he's a good guy, you just cheer for their success even more.

That's so.

So great.

And I

like to bring these different things to you when I can, just to show, you know, you can make it here, but sometimes when you go somewhere else, it's fun to see what happens to people too.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, definitely.

And check out folks, go to YouTube and type in Dylan Chambers, whatever happens because the, I don't know if that's album artwork or whatever, but it's pretty

cool.

Pete Schwaba

The guy opening the door and there's like a

big

Pete Schwaba

rainbow and a wheat field.

It's just really cool.

I love the album work.

All right, so tell us about this song I thought was great and I love the connection to the movie No Packers, No Life.

Tell us about the Driftless Pony Club.

What a cool name that is.

Isn't that

Pete Schwaba

the best

name?

The minute I heard the name, I said to myself, I gotta find out who these guys are.

They formed at UW Madison in 1999.

They are now based out of Chicago.

They haven't been touring because a couple of the members in particular, the lead singer who also writes a lot of the songs, his name is Craig Benzine,

He is the director of the film that just came out.

It was released publicly today called No Packers, No Life.

Pete Schwaba

All right, time out.

Craig Benzine is great.

He's been on this show a couple of times.

I interviewed him on PBS Wisconsin for the film festival episode of the TV show I host.

Yeah, he's incredibly talented.

He's Weezy Waiter.

He's got like over a million followers on YouTube.

So he's an influencer.

He made this movie.

Are you telling me he's in this band too?

Yeah, he's been in this band since 99.

And he is one of the guys that wrote this song that we're going to

Pete Schwaba

listen to.

You've

got to

Pete Schwaba

be kidding me.

That's amazing.

No, no, no.

Pete Schwaba

As you know

then, yes, director of No Packers, No Life.

Yeah.

crazy cool look at this Japanese cheer club that turns out loves the Green Bay Packers.

So as part of this film, they bring them to Green Bay.

I mean, it's just crazy cool.

And so they wrote this song for the movie.

Pete Schwaba

You probably maybe already know this.

Sean Hannish, who made the film just a bit outside with Kelly Gull, they've been on the show too.

And Sean's been on several times.

And last he was on, I got an email from a publicist saying, you got to have Sean on to talk about No Packers in the Life.

I'm like, what?

So he's distributing it on behalf, you know, for Craig.

So much talent tied to this film.

And this song is great.

Is this song in the movie?

It is in the movie written for the movie.

And as you know, Craig's ties are all back to Wisconsin again.

We made it as far as Chicago.

So, you know, whatever.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, he's staying pretty close.

That's kind of

cool.

Yeah.

I've heard some interviews with him recently as the movie was coming out where he just loves Wisconsin sports so much that he was thrilled to be part of this.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, he does.

He's a really fun guest to have.

If you could ever have him on Max Inc Radio 2.

I

love the idea, Pete.

Pete Schwaba

Thank you.

Yeah, he's terrific.

So all right, we are going to do a very short break.

And then we'll come back and we are going to play the song Man of Action.

And this will knock your socks off, folks.

You don't want to miss this song out of the movie.

no life, a great tune.

We're coming right back.

It's Peach Wabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network with Terry Barr.

Pete Schwaba

on this Friday night edition of Night Light, a beautiful, positively beautiful night here in the state of Wisconsin.

Hope you're having a great night and glad you're with me tonight.

We've had a lot of fun here and still more to come with our guest and my co-host here for Bar Band Friday Night, the lovely and talented and crazy music fan, Terry Barr.

I

love when I can surprise you with something too.

Pete Schwaba

This is so great.

I had no idea.

We were saying before the break that Craig Benzine is also part of this Driftless Pony Club.

And I didn't know that.

I knew the guy was multi-talented and a heck of a good guy.

But this will be fun.

All right.

So

this

Pete Schwaba

is the song Man of Action by the Driftless Pony Club.

And you can see it if you check out the movie No Packers, No Life, a really great movie.

It's in theaters right now.

It

is.

It is all around the state at Marcus Theaters.

Pete Schwaba

Outstanding.

So let's hear Craig's latest creation in addition to his movie.

And he's got some great people around him, I'm sure, in the band as well.

This is the Driftless Pony Club Man of Action.

It was so hard for me to stay in my chair.

That is such a great song.

That is so fun.

And can't you even hear that?

At some point, the Packers actually play that at Lambeau Field.

Pete Schwaba

They should.

They've got that great riff.

Pete Schwaba

That's

a

Pete Schwaba

great

song.

Pete Schwaba

Wow, I'm even more excited to see.

Even though he's been on the show a couple times and I interviewed him on PBS, I still haven't seen the whole movie.

So I'm very excited and we'll have to have Craig back on Con and see how the release goes because he's such a good guy.

Oh yeah, that would

be really fun.

Pete Schwaba

And now he's like ridiculously talented.

This is like a 30, he's an influencer, a filmmaker and a musician.

I don't even think I'm going to be able to perform sexually with my wife for the next six months.

Oh gosh.

Pete Schwaba

Conrad just buried his hand in it.

You know what I'm saying?

There's people like that that

are just like,

Pete Schwaba

I'm blown away by how talented they are.

You know, I have friends

that- He sounded so surprised when I said his name in conjunction with this group that he's been part of since 99.

It's

Pete Schwaba

amazing.

It's amazing and it's such a great song.

It makes you want to go check out the rest of it because I love the band Driftless Pony Club too.

That name is so great.

It's really good.

Yeah, if you go to their YouTube, their videos are ridiculous.

They do really funny behind the scenes at shows.

How do you do a show?

They're just, well, they're comedians basically.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

All right.

We got to get Craig back on the show.

I'll try to get him on next week.

Terry, so much fun as always.

Thank you.

You guys too.

Thank you.

Pete Schwaba

I'm going to be cranked.

This is my new workout song

too.

I love

Pete Schwaba

it.

So when I bench 40 pounds, I'll be, uh, I might look

ridiculous,

Pete Schwaba

ridiculous, but I'm going to be really pumped up

for it.

Go for

Pete Schwaba

it.

We'll be playing this again tomorrow night on max inc radio too.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, I was just going to ask you who you have coming up.

So that's, is Craig that

will be a reveal since, well, it's a reveal in Madison since you already got the reveal across the stage.

Pete Schwaba

Thank you and sorry.

We have

a great author on Tomorrow Night though.

Also, Susan Messino wrote about ACDC and Van Halen.

She's a local author.

She toured with them and has books out.

So I'm looking forward to talking

Pete Schwaba

with her.

Oh, very cool.

All right, check out Max Inc Radio, folks, on go to civicmedia.us if you don't live in Madison.

Con, anything else?

Brewers are losing already.

Oh,

Pete Schwaba

come on, dude.

Your quiz was so great.

That was so much fun.

You cannot let the brewers get you done.

You cannot take this negative energy into the tournament, man.

That's right out of Big Lebowski.

All right.

On behalf of the lovable for Easter Con, right on P12.

I say good night, Wisconsin.
