They are all cataloged at civicmedia.us.
We talk to Ian Teal about what is coming up at the YWIGA International Film Festival next week.
Very exciting stuff and a beautiful
setting there for a film festival too, an international film festival at this little opera house.
In Why
We Go Wisconsin, I was
born in Why We Go Wisconsin.
Aren't you serious?
Why
We Go Fremont, that's where my family hails from.
I'm dead serious.
That is the voice of one of the village people who is joining us.
It is, I was doing the YMCA.
I'm in
construction mode today.
That's Heather Heil.
Tonight's question, folks, is what is your favorite documentary?
We had a great documentary on last night named Doug Prey
who was a native Wisconsinite, but has been part of some amazing projects.
So it got my wheels turning.
And I think we need to talk more about documentaries.
So that's our question of the night.
Let us know what your favorite documentary is, and I will read your text on the radio.
It's 855-752-4842-855-75 civic.
You can also text us on the app, or if you are watching the radio on the stream at YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter, and give us a like or a follow if you're there.
You just cannot wait to start talking.
I'm just waiting for you.
I'm just
gonna follow you.
I know I'm holding
on to the headphones.
I'm glad Conrad's here.
Let me just say that.
I got
an
email from
someone I didn't know, and I was like, what is happening?
We
were teasing Conrad in his absence about how many vacay, somebody said, what does Conrad have like 38 days vacation?
Yeah, how many days of vacation do you have Conrad?
And I think that someone was me, but, and then I think I can't remember who it was.
It was either Todd,
or Emerson.
Well, it's a great company to work for.
You get all this vacation.
And he's the only Conrad gets up any day.
So he was in Tennessee at a wedding.
Oh, congratulations to the lovely couple.
Was it a good wedding?
It was great.
It was fantastic.
He had a great time.
Did you take
a date?
I did not.
Did you leave with a date?
I didn't.
No?
Okay.
You see, listen, you watch Guy thing on the plane on the way down, which I think is cool.
It's a movie I co-wrote, but he, I would think you would like watch wedding crashers to get yourself ready for this.
Yeah.
Well, they crash weddings, you know, I was invited.
So it's a little different.
Oh, so like bridesmaids, like you go hardcore press.
Yeah.
Put your out of state, you're rolling in like a big shot, you know.
I'm a big
radio producer.
Was there any potential there for?
No, no.
No, it
was a small
wedding.
Oh,
okay Conrad we love you.
We need to find you a lovely Lovely human to be paired with
listen.
I stay out of that, but I will defer to Heather.
She's I'm always about this Conrad I
think that you're awesome, and I love you.
Thank you You're welcome take her up in that case if that's something you want some guys like being rolling stag and that's fine, you know I Do and I'm married so I know just like hey It's not for everybody the stag world, but you know Conrad will figure it out.
He will he will
He's just a good, he's a good one.
So I just want him to find happiness.
That's all.
He is getting relationship advice right now from someone wearing a hard hat and a reflective vest.
How ridiculous am I
right now?
I'm in
my media like mode right now.
I think we just have to jump in and say what is going on.
My guest is Heather Hile.
She is from the Green Bay Children's Museum.
She's the director of business affairs or development?
Development.
And she joins us here periodically.
Love having Heather in the studio.
You're one of my favorite guests.
You know that.
Thank
you, Sam.
I love coming in.
I told you, I'm like, we should do this like once a week because I feel like we get so off track
all the time.
We get off track and sometimes we don't even get to the, like the stuff on my sheet until we've been here two segments already.
So let's get to it.
Let's get to this construction outfit.
Let's get in.
Let's get to the, it looks like apparently you're doing all the work.
when it comes to the district.
I'm really good at
this.
I am not doing all of the work, but
it is- But you just like to look the part?
I do like to look the part.
And we, as you know, non-for-profits, everyone like does anything that they have to to get it done.
And right
now we are in our last phases of getting this new museum built.
So we are adding on to our current children's museum located across from Babies Road.
We are two million short and my friends, we are literally
starting to prioritize putting education over revenue streams to help us operate that museum.
This is a very awful place to be.
I mean, it's an amazing
place to be, but- Yeah, you should be applauded for that because it's like saying, I can't stand when people, we need to run these schools like a business.
No, it's an investment in our community and our world.
So hats off to you.
Hard hats off to us.
So it's this great new reaching new heights campaign.
You guys have raised like four and a half million dollars or something like that, but you're still a little short.
We're still a little short.
So we have our building ordered.
We have all of the things, but as you know, like building costs are starting to go up.
So
we need to really push for this last, you know,
million to get this thing built.
And I know there's people out there listening going, oh, the corporations will do it.
Oh, there is so much need in communities right now, and no donation
is
too small.
So if you are like, you know what?
I wanna support play-based education in this children's museum.
$5 does a ton for us.
A ton.
Is that
true?
That's
great.
Are you kidding me?
If everyone listening right now gave $5?
Are you parked?
See, I had a little donation I was going to make, but I found a meter spot.
And then that took care of everything.
But seriously, how much can people, you know, what is, you need a million dollars to finish.
You've already got four and a half.
So you guys are serious about this.
It's a 16,000 square foot addition to an already amazing facility.
Correct.
With five new exhibits that is going to house.
So let me share with you our capacity right now is about 350 people.
If you come to our museum on a Saturday, there's about 700 bodies trying to get through our museum.
We have a ginormous holiday extravaganza coming up on the, I believe the 22nd, do you have that date in front of you?
I should have that,
I
apologize.
Holiday extravaganza, we have reindeer, we have Santa, we have all of the things coming to the museum and we are at, we're full.
We're at capacity and any parent out there going, I'm not going to take my kids somewhere that,
I'm not gonna be able to
get into
or have to wait if it's cold or any of those things.
So we're denying that education to children at a place where we say that play is the right of every child that comes to our museum.
And it's not like you're raising money for some new concept.
This is a museum that's been around for decades, right?
We
are tried and true.
And honestly, people are like, what about the money that you're making at the door?
Absolutely, like a business.
That's our operational cost.
That pays for day-to-day things.
It's a non-for-profit,
right?
It's a non-for-profit, correct.
So adding on 16,000 square feet costs a lot of money.
Anyone tried to remodel a room in their house lately?
Yeah, it's crazy expensive.
Right.
So what do you do?
Where do you go?
I mean, you've got, you know, I mean, I can give you a fiver.
I can give you a sawbuck.
Can you?
I can.
I can put cash in your pocket.
It is cash in my pocket.
Yeah, no,
it is a lot.
Yeah.
But you're, obviously you're doing all the work yourself and that's got to set you back a little bit.
We
are all
doing it.
Yeah.
I like, I'm out there digging in the dirt,
moving the
stuff.
They won't give me
a jackhammer yet.
I
keep,
Pete, I keep saying, hey, they're like, no power tools.
I don't get out of bed in the morning unless I've got a jackhammer.
I know.
My guest is Heather Hiles.
She is the business affairs director at the Green Bay Children's Museum.
They are in the middle middle of their, what is this called?
It's reaching new heights.
They've raised over $4 million.
they're trying to raise another million.
Just to
finish this off, I'm going to tell you friends, give because it grows.
the simplest way I can say it.
When you give money to the museum.
I was not expecting this to be a PBS telethon tonight by the way, but I'm happy to
help.
You know what, I'm normally not a hardcore press like, hey, please help us out financially, but if you can and you are compelled right now, get us over to the finish line so I can do my job.
Especially now because culture is not, I wouldn't say culture is an abundance right now in our society.
that you can never have enough, and especially a place where kids can go to learn about stuff like this, and talk about some of the stuff they would learn about.
You've got- Oh,
all the STEM-based learning
that we're doing.
AI festivity, yeah.
Yeah, all of the AI.
We're bringing all of that, the CAD programming.
All of that is coming into the education that we're working through with children.
And Pete, we're finding out that
that education is starting earlier and earlier than we originally thought.
Experts are now saying you should be reading to your baby before it's even born because they're hearing and that helps with their literacy and
all that.
So that zero to three is so critical in brain development and the block building and where there give them every opportunity
you can.
Especially, you know, I remember going to museums as a kid.
My mom always took us.
Science and industry museum, museum, all these great places.
I mean, you can't, you just make kids curious and that's half the battle is getting them to want to engage in
something that's not a screen.
Is there any, anyone saying amen to that out there right now?
I
can't really cast the first down there.
But I'm an adult.
I'm a lost cause.
Right.
I might as well just look at my phone all day.
No, you shouldn't.
Pete, I can help you.
What?
What of these events would I like the most?
You've got AI stuff, you've got 3D printing, SNAP circuits.
Is that supposed to be SNAP circuits?
Yeah, it is.
That's all
right.
So Pete, I honestly for you, so one of the new exhibits that we have coming is a trades and training exhibit.
So it is literally a two by four house that
When you and I went to college, we were told, go get your four year degree and you're gonna get a job and things are gonna be great.
That
is
not the world that we live in.
And our trades are being desecrated right now.
Anyone out there who is looking to get a plumber or to get an electrician, like it's few and far between because people just aren't going into those.
We're bringing in an exhibit working with those skilled trades, working with NWTC, working with UWGB to help.
teach those kids at those early ages with the snap circuits about how electricity truly works and about plumbing and about Virtual welding and all of that really cool stuff.
All right fine.
I'll learn how to I know we're gonna grow with your kids So what are they doing cuz kids aren't really going to college either so if they're not going to college and they're not learning trades
Are they in the service industry or what?
Are they in the service industry or
what?
They need to have these dreams.
They all want to be gamers and influencers?
No,
they do want to be influencers.
Number one thing that they want to be right now is influencers.
There's only a small room for influencers.
There are.
I mean, I hate to say it, but it seems like.
Agreed.
I mean, I mean, don't, and listen, I've got, I'm not trying to brag, I've got over 200 Twitter followers.
You do?
I destroyed Twitter today.
And only took me 12 years.
Are you serious?
Oh, good luck.
It's brutal.
I'm dead serious.
First of all, it's horrible.
I know it is.
I was like, why did I do
this?
Yeah.
You people are not kind.
Here's what you do.
When you join Twitter, you don't use an actual photo or your real name.
Oh, I did.
You just put an avatar and a bunch of numbers, and then you say, crazy crap.
And you rile people up.
That's what controls.
It's horrible.
Good luck.
Oh no, my little heart's gonna be broken there.
Twitter followers are not gonna get you to your goal of a million dollars.
I'm just saying that right now.
Okay.
It's really not
a safe space for me.
Well, I mean, you never know.
There's some good people on Twitter.
I'm not saying there's not, but it's hard out there.
You're there.
If I wasn't doing this show, I would not be on Twitter.
Really?
No.
Oh, interesting.
I mean, whatever.
I'm on Instagram, but I don't really do anything.
I'm on Facebook.
I'm on Blue Sky.
But Twitter's the worst.
Do you do the
TikTok?
Do you TikTok?
I have a TikTok account.
I think I have two followers, and I only follow Rob Brackenridge.
Conrad, we should make a TikTok tonight.
Look at me, I'm like village person.
It'll be so good.
This is a tailor-made moment for a TikTok creator.
All right, Heather Heil is here, folks.
We are going to have more with Heather when we come back after a very short break.
Steve in the 920, that's Conrad's dad, says Band of Brothers is his favorite documentary, mini series based on Easy Company, the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.
Wow, you're dead.
really pulled those numbers out of nowhere, didn't he?
He says, I try to watch it once a year and there you go, that's why.
Conrad's mom following suit, I picture them on the couch just texting together.
Isn't that sweet?
I love
this,
I'm so sweet.
They got the YouTube pulled up.
It's like day and night
for them.
Awesome, Kriegers.
Paula says I like documentaries about the life of singers and their bands.
Great.
I agree.
Keep those coming, folks.
What's your favorite documentary?
We'll be right back with more with our friend Heather Heil from the Green Bay Children's Museum.
It's Pete Schwabba and Nightlight.

Welcome back, folks.
It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight with the dancing Heather Heil.
Dave on the stream says, just a bit outside.
There you go.
That's a nice Conrad.
Are you over the Brewers yet?
No.
Did you watch any of the World Series?
No, I had to.
It was maybe the greatest World Series ever.
A lot of people are saying that.
I mean, come on, my team was out.
I know your team went out after mine.
Your team knocked mine out.
So if I can get over it, enjoy the World Series.
Yeah, but, you know, it just wasn't as fun for me because we got swept.
I
get it.
Look, I get it.
That sucks.
I
know, but by the national champions,
I've got to look
at
this
like
positive
world champs.
World champs, not nationals.
World.
I wanted Toronto to win more than anybody,
but.
Yeah, I've really wanted them to win
this tournament.
Oh, I so
did.
I was back and forth because my parents were going for the Blue Jays and I would go over there and I, you know, I'm not, the Dodgers, not my favorite team, but I lived there long enough, took my kids, blah, blah, blah.
So I like the Dodgers.
So they get a hit and I go, yeah.
just from instinct and my mom would go, who are you cheering for?
I'm like, why are you mad at me?
Like the Blue Jays are not your team either.
But we
just hate the
Dodgers that much that we wanted them to win.
I was going
for the Blue Jays, I admit
it.
Tyler on the stream in the 608 says, the gods must be crazy about the effect that a discarded Coke bottle can have.
I forgot.
Have you ever seen that?
The gods must be crazy.
Yes,
I did see that.
From like 1985, maybe.
Wild.
They've been a Coke bottle and kind of upon a sub-Sahara African culture.
Very great stuff.
And all right, I think, are we caught up on Texcon?
We got a couple more.
We got a couple more.
Okay, we can say, let's not, let's not.
That's easy.
We'll blow all the text right away.
Okay, yeah.
All right, so Heather Heil is here from the Green Bay Children's Museum.
She is the director of business development.
She was telling us all about this great campaign.
They have the Reaching New Heights campaign where they've raised
I mean, more than about three quarters of the money you need.
We do.
Yeah.
A million bucks short.
About a million to go.
So
we're just, it's nothing to shake a stick at.
You know what you should talk to?
Who?
Elon Musk.
Oh, Elon.
Yeah, my buddy.
He's got some, he's got some walking around money.
Like, hey, maybe a little something, something for a girl.
He should, he should help out here in Green Bay too.
I agree.
You're doing great things here.
So tell us about some other stuff coming up at the museum.
You've got really
I love reading about your events.
I wish I had young kids again.
You can
always volunteer.
I would welcome you with open
arms to come volunteer.
What would I do if I was a volunteer at the Green Bay Children's Museum?
Well, you
would tell me what you would want to do.
So you would tell me your skill set.
Like, hey, I'm not really people-y, so maybe I could clean something, or I'm really people-y, or I want to do a science experiment with kids, or I want to...
read to kids, or this is where I really feel I would be most impactful.
And after the background check on you, and you
would pass.
Oh, yeah, I got to do a background check.
No, thanks.
Hard pass.
I would say these hands are registered lethal weapons.
Is that what the kids want to hear?
That's exactly what the kids want.
The kids do the parents don't.
I was working at my daughter's school, and I went up to the principal at the end of the year, and I said, hey, when you do the background check on me, everything checked out, right?
And he goes,
Yeah.
And he was like, I didn't really do it.
He already started sweating.
And I just went, huh.
And he goes, what's up?
Is there
something
you need to tell me?
Is this that moment?
Of course, I pass.
Can I read your background check?
I think so.
Did you have to do it to get this job?
I can't remember.
I don't think, I don't, I think so.
I don't remember.
The only thing on my record is that I stole a bunch of radio equipment.
Other than that, I'm fine.
All right, let's
talk.
I got parking tickets, you know.
That's about all
I have on my record too.
That's not too bad.
Yeah, I know.
So, but
I've had it
pulled on me a couple of times.
Speeding?
Not, knock on wood.
I don't, I don't really speed anymore just cause I don't want to get a ticket.
All the
time cause I'm always late.
I am.
But
it
saves you like
30 seconds at the end of the day, you know?
I know, but I just am like gotta go.
I've got business to develop.
All right, so what does the matter with you?
Tell us.
Tell us what is coming up at the Green Bay Children's.
The holidays are right around the corner.
The
holidays are right around the corner.
So we have our holiday extravaganza kind of kicking things off coming up on November 22nd.
So that's where we have right after the holiday parade Santa and his live reindeer come to the museum and we have the largest indoor snowball fight Green Bay has
ever
seen.
So you
can come inside and do that and Santa gets involved and get some really great photos and again get your signs on with that stuff.
After that we go
into our breakfast was Santa that we have.
And then we, of course, go into all other holidays because we celebrate equally at the museum and learn about all of the different traditions that people here in Northeast Wisconsin do.
And we have, um, so Hanukkah
and
we celebrate, um, uh, the, so the Hanukkah is the minority.
I see I'm going to talk your.
not firing at all cylinders.
You're fine, the menorah.
The menorah, just in work with lights and the Chinese New Year and all of those things are coming up.
Also our New Year's, one of our other biggest events is our Kids Rock and Eve event on New Year's Eve.
And at noon, the fire department comes with their ladder truck and does a countdown with us and like lowers their ladder
and they can do.
The kids lose their mind over there.
The kids
lose their mind.
It's so awesome.
We're excited.
I'm gonna let a little sneak peek up.
might be something with K-pop happening
as
well.
Love some K-pop.
Gonna put that out there.
What is it about firefighters?
Because I remember when I took my son Joe to his elementary school, they had firefighters coming.
This is shortly after 9-11.
It was about probably a couple months after.
And the firefighter, oh no, we went to the firehouse in Van Nuys, California.
We were doing this tour and then they got a call.
Yeah,
so cool, right?
It was unbelievable.
And I was, here's what happens when you hang out with a bunch of comics.
I said to my friend Paul Gilmartin, and I think my friend Jimmy Dora was in the car, the three of us are in there.
And I said, and this fire truck pulled away and the kids are watching these firefighters.
And I got to tell you, I had a lump in my throat and Paul goes, are you sure it was in your throat?
But
it was.
It
was exciting.
Kids love firefighters.
It's unbelievable.
Honestly, one of my greatest fears in this world is that kids at some point will not want to grow up and be a firefighter or a police officer anymore.
So as long as I am living in this world, I will always, always champion for them to see that and to feel that because police officers and firefighters are amazing human beings and we love you and people do support you and just...
keeping you.
And you can say that because you dressed like a construction worker for the first part of the second.
I love all people.
Heather
Isle is here.
We're coming back after the news.
We're going to give her a Green Bay Packers quiz.
That'll be fun folks.
Don't leave and tell us what your favorite documentary is.
It's Night Light with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media Radio
Network.
Hey, this is Lance Barber and you're listening to Nightlight with Pete Schwabba
All right, I know what you did you cleaned it up because someone from the Children's Museum is here.
You have well done Conrad.
Yep This is Pete Schwabba and I like Conrad's like
Oh, yeah, that's what I did.
Wait a
minute.
Hold the phone.
I have two versions.
And I, you know, you just got to change it up sometimes.
And I think it's good that we have the G-rated version we just played.
So that's great.
And always good to hear from Lance Barber.
So Heather Heil is here, folks.
She is the director of business development at the Green Bay Children's Museum.
They are in the middle of a campaign.
They're reaching new heights campaign and they love your help if you're willing.
They're building a brand new addition, 16,000 square feet.
It's going to be spectacular when you guys get it done.
It
will.
We're building big things.
We're building dreams.
Think of your younger self and how you want to help others in our community and what our...
our future
looks like.
Do it for the children.
I mean, really, it is.
It's an old phrase, but it's true.
It is great to have you here, and it's great to catch up with you.
You are kind of my conduit to Green Bay, because I don't live here.
And the show is on statewide, so I can't just move to one city.
No, you have to know all of the things.
Correct.
So you are my Green Bay person, so what is happening?
Is there anything exciting we should know about coming up?
prior to the holidays, either at the Children's Museum or just in town.
In general, someone looking to come visit Green Bay, some must do for the holiday season.
Downtown Green Bay and the Broadway Market has a, I always say this incorrectly, the Chris Kringle Market, is that how you say that?
It's called something.
It's a market though.
It has little shops and they do wine walks and they do all of these special activities and it's quite spectacular.
So they have that there.
The Wisconsin Public Service does a garden of lights at our Botanical Gardens that are unbelievable and if you have a chance you should check those out.
Our Meyer Theater here always brings in amazing tribute bands and check their schedules and it's just a
glorious theater, and you and I talk about this all the time.
We need to support those arts and those
theaters
because if we don't, they will go away.
And Frank's Christmas.
Frank's Christmas.
We saw that last year.
What a fun way.
My son drove up, we picked up my daughter, and we all met at the Meyer Theater.
Yep.
And Frank's show, let me be frank, had kicked us or kicked.
Kicked off the holiday season.
It was so much fun.
Yeah, so much fun.
Like Frank and Frank is just a...
genuinely great human
being.
He's so much fun when he comes in.
He's like the male version of Heather Heil.
He kind of is.
I would say
so, yeah.
I actually teased him one time.
I'm like, hey, you and me on the road together.
Can you imagine?
Like
whatever he's like, oh, okay.
That's a show.
That's awesome.
Well,
just a couple of things.
If you're looking for things to do here, I love doing those things.
And I'm actually kind of bummed this weekend, Heritage Hill, which is like a historical park here in Green Bay.
They have a Snapdragon
Tavern happening this weekend and it's sold out.
So they go back
to like in 1816.
60s Tavern and they have like
all
costumed and like the spirits that you would be drinking and the games and the travelers and I am all about an immersive experience.
So yeah, it's so cool.
So just watch Heritage Hill because they do that a couple times a year.
That sounds really fun.
I remember I was reading this book about Teddy Roosevelt if I could name drop and he and they said they were celebrating an election win back in the
when Roosevelt was like turning the century, but they said they were, all the great songs were playing and one of them was called, there's going to be a hot time in the old town tonight.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, shake it up.
That was before like jazz, I think even.
What was the music like?
So to go to hear it and chill to something like that.
And they have like
musicians
and
it's just really, like I love that kind of stuff.
So
very, very cool stuff happening here in this area.
Those are great suggestions.
Should we do the quiz con?
Okay,
I'm a little
nervous about this quiz because I really just am new to football, believe it or not.
So I am like a tailgate.
You're new to football.
I'm a tailgate queen.
Like
I
love to go out there and get out there and do all of that, but I'm just starting now to learn the game.
So, I
might need to take you in.
I'm glad.
Well, I made it, so I can't be tagged in.
Oh, can I
take you in?
What
do
you
mean, tag?
Like a
lifeline?
He is the answer guy.
We could be like the
Bushwhackers, and I could be like, take
you in.
So I'm like, okay, so that
can help out with the answer.
Yeah,
just give a
little hint maybe or something.
I made it.
pretty easy.
So
I listen, I don't even know what you say every time.
I don't know if I would know all the answers to this.
I'm like, I like a good sports contest once in a while, but I wouldn't call myself a
story.
Like, is there like a vein that we stayed in with these packer questions?
Or is it like,
it's all it's about the quarterbacks.
And there's like, there's like two questions about the history.
Okay.
So actually, like, all right.
The Packers are having a good season.
I don't know if you've been following.
They're like, are they five, two and one?
Listen, yeah.
I know
we
were all
a
little
heartbroken after the game.
Like, let's just be honest.
However, we are still number one in our division, you guys.
Number one.
Yeah.
Number one.
Okay.
When you say we.
Oh, I... Me.
Me.
I am an owner.
Yeah,
exactly.
So...
We, in Green Bay, you can say we.
That's okay.
Fair enough.
That's fair.
All right, so this is our nightlight Green Bay Packers quiz, history quiz.
Quarterback history quiz.
Quarterback slash history quiz.
Quarterback sneak.
And I can't think of anyone I'd rather have taking this test here in the studio than the unbelievably talented Heather Heil, who is here with us again on nightlight.
And it's just great.
So here we go.
Number one, I'd like to start with number one.
I know that's usually a good place to start.
Who is the first starting quarterback in Green Bay Packers history?
Was it A. Bart Starr, B. Ricky Weeks, C. Michael Redd, or D. Redd Dunn?
Number one.
Is
this going to be brutal?
I don't know.
I don't know.
You're close.
Go three down.
No, okay.
See, you weren't helping
me there.
Who was it?
What was the answer?
Red Dunn.
Red Dunn was the first quarterback
for Green Bay.
That was kind of a tough
question, Conor.
That was a really tough question.
Who knows that?
Did you know that before you put this quiz together?
Yeah, I... You did not.
I took some tours.
I took two tours of the...
You did two
tours of the Packers
Stadium.
I did two tours.
Guess who's going to be
assigned
to do a tour because I don't know.
He almost said to do a third one.
All right.
You're doing fine.
You got a long way to go here.
Just 102 questions.
Sorry, my people.
Number two, which Packers quarterback won the first two Super Bowl MVP awards?
Was it A, Bart Starr, B, Brett Favre, C, Aaron Rodgers, or D, Matt Flynn?
Number one.
Number one.
Well done.
Alright, that's one for two.
Okay, and I
just didn't know the red one actually that was a hard question.
I've never heard that
before I knew I probably would have guessed it wasn't who is Ricky weeks by the way is that Ricky?
No,
isn't that first player?
Oh, okay.
I'm like 2010.
I know he was in a major league Ricky weeks
for
it.
Even all right Michael Rex from the Bucks come on now
He's trying to trick me.
Number three, who did the Packers draft to eventually replace Bart Favre as the starting QB?
Is it A. Jordan Love, B. Matt Flynn, C. Aaron Rodgers, or D. Brian Baumgart?
Aaron Rodgers.
I'd say Kevin from The Office.
A. Rod.
All right, Heather is a two for three.
Heather Heil is my guest here on Nightlight in the studio.
Well, we've had
like three
quarterbacks for
15 years.
Gonna get some of that in there.
It's just before that, that gets a little, when we get Magic Man and all that.
It's a little hazy, lindic-y, yeah.
In what year did the Packers win their first Super Bowl?
Was it A, 1966?
Season played, the Super Bowl would have
been
1967.
B, 1990, C, 1870 or D, 2010?
66.
Yeah,
it was 66.
They started in 1919.
Is
that when the backers started?
I think so,
right?
Probably.
I don't know.
It
might be
a
question.
That's why the restaurant is called 19.
It might be a question on there, so I don't know.
All right.
Interesting.
Food for
five.
Number five, how many NFL MVP awards did Brett Favre win during his career?
Was it A1, B2, C3, D, none, too many interceptions.
Two?
Two or
three?
Well, if you could commit to... Two, three.
I'm gonna commit to three.
Let's go through.
All right.
Dee probably would have been true to, but Farv's already in the hall of fame.
Because
you get the MVP when you win Super Bowl, so I was just trying to do the math there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, you don't get the MVP.
You don't have the MVP just for winning the Super Bowl.
No, but if you play in the Super Bowl, don't you have to be in the Super Bowl to get the most valuable player?
You have to play in the Super Bowl to get the Super Bowl most valuable
player.
Oh,
okay.
Yeah.
See?
We're learning something.
Man, I'm the sports authority.
Drop in our sports knowledge
on you.
Right now,
my Dan right now is going ballistic at
how horrible I am.
He's pacing at home.
Yes, sorry,
I'm letting you down.
You're four for five, Heather.
Number six, which Packers QB famously started 297 consecutive regular season games, was it A, Bart Starr, B, Brett Favre, C, Aaron Rodgers, or D, Don Majkowski?
Brett Favre.
Very well done, five for six.
Heather Heil tearing it up, folks.
Number seven, what QB of the Packers was drafted in the first round from Utah State University?
Was it A?
I think it's Aaron Rodgers.
Was it A, Peter Schwabler, the third?
Is that your cousin?
I actually have a cousin named Pete Schwabba.
And an uncle named God rest their souls.
B, Jordan Love, C, Brett Favre, D, Tom Brady.
It's not Brett Varv.
Utah State.
Because Brett Varv was OK.
Schwabler did not go to Utah State.
No, it wasn't
Schwabler.
It was not Brett Varv.
It was who were the other
two?
Jordan Love and Tom Brady.
Jordan Love.
Oh, she is on a roll.
Six for seven.
The process of elimination.
That
Schwabler was really good in the NFL, though.
He had a good arm.
He didn't.
That's not a made-up person.
That totally sounds like a Conrad name.
I'm like, Schwabler?
He was a good quarterback.
He did not throw for strength or accuracy.
And he really couldn't read his progression.
I would have
named a dance after him.
The Schwabler.
The Schwabler.
Yeah, because that just makes me want to wiggle.
Makes you want to wobble.
He does.
I like that.
Peter Schwabler.
OK.
I love how you went with Peter, too.
to make him sound like an intellectual, further distancing him from the world of the NFL.
Number eight, what year was the Green Bay Packers franchise founded?
Was it A, 1345?
No.
B, 1919, C, 2002, D, 18, 18.
1919.
Very well done.
Heather's on a roll.
Okay, you weren't sneaking
around there.

again.
I know he's like,
okay, whoo, she's not that embarrassing.
Number
nine, who
looks smart?
Who is the Packers head coach?
During their Super Bowl XLV victory.
Mike Holmgren?
Is that 55?
I
think it's, isn't it 45?
I
don't know, who are my
choices?
Is
that Mike Holmgren?
We have to put this to the committee because this is a very confusing question.
Neither one of us really know what it is.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Honestly, Dan's probably texting and screaming at me right now.
Let's just do this.
Who was the Packershead coach?
Was it A. Con Happy Kruger?
No.
B. Mike McCarthy.
C. Matt LaFleur or D. Vince Lombardi?
B. B?
Yeah.
Is that the answer?
Yes.
We need to get the question right.
It is
45, by the way.
Is it a 45?
Okay,
yeah.
Because I'm weird with yours.
Yeah, and numbers me too.

Oh
He did so much for this community, him and his wife and really like elevated, not only on the field, but off the field.
And so to me, a good player is someone who can perform on the field as well as off the field.
So that's why I loved him so much.
That's a

Good for him.
And who was it?
It was a John Roach.
Last week was on the show and he made this great documentary about UW.
basketball player was a little bit of a tragedy.
And John said, sports is the best when it elevates above sports.
Correct.
So many people don't want athletes ever to talk or say
anything.
And I'm like, okay.
All right, we are coming right back.
We've got three more questions for Heather.
She's the only missed one.
Her boyfriend will not break up with her as of yet.
Hopefully she'll do well in these last three and we'll read more of your texts before we close things down.

Recently, it's gonna be that John Candy documentary.
I fell in love with that thing so hard, like it was just,
So good.
It has all
of the things.
Did we talk about that last time we were here?
We did
because we was coming out and I was like, and we, John Candy movie and did
the whole
thing.
And now it's come out and there's just this glorious scene in this documentary where it goes into the Steve Martin scene of planes, trains, automobiles.
And when Steve Martin's character is berating him on like what an awful
person he is and how nobody,
nobody likes him.
And all of a sudden John Candy just says, I like
me.
My wife likes me.
Yeah, and I just it just made me stop in my tracks and like it was waterworks and I mean I've seen the scene before but just the He was a good human.
He gives me faith in humanity and I love that and behind that is I'm in a documentary club, you know So once a
month I meet with
ladies and we all pick different documentaries the other one we just watched that I am Obsessed with it's called Crip Camp and it was made in about 2020
And it's about people with different abilities who in the 70s and 80s would go to specialized camps to be together.
And one of them wanted to be a film producer.
So there's all of this raw footage of them at this camp.
And it's kind of like a cat skills camp and how they all form together and go against the Disabilities Act against Ronald Reagan and all of this activism that they did.
It's really a beautiful historical piece.
Wow.
What is that
called?
It's called Crip Camp.
Okay.
And regardless of your political beliefs, though, Obama's had some backing in on it, like Michelle Obama is like a producer on her.
It's like, it's a really incredible watch.
Wow.
That's awesome.
All right.
I'll have to check that out as well.
John from the 608 says, best docs anything by Ken Burns, dude, the goat.
Hard to argue with that.
I loved the Civil War.
I mean,
There
was a guy
there called Shelby foot a professor.
I can't remember what college he's the best voice and he was an expert on the Civil War and talks about the Confederates and Just that was such a beautiful documentary.
I'm so heartbreaking to
any time that you can learn about something in a fun way Yeah,
it's a
win
and I want to say that the John Candy
that scene in Plain Strains and Automobiles where he's defending himself.
It's so hard for me to get past the fact that his pajamas match the drapes in the hotel.
I know, of course they do.
But then he starts talking and you feel like you're going to cry.
It's so good.
And Catherine O'Hare's in there and she's a national treasure.
