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.

Heather Heil

In Why

Pete Schwabba (Host)

We Go Wisconsin, I was

Heather Heil

born in Why We Go Wisconsin.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Aren't you serious?

Why

Heather Heil

We Go Fremont, that's where my family hails from.

I'm dead serious.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

That is the voice of one of the village people who is joining us.

It is, I was doing the YMCA.

I'm in

Heather Heil

construction mode today.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

Oh, congratulations to the lovely couple.

Was it a good wedding?

Conrad

It was great.

It was fantastic.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

He had a great time.

Did you take

Heather Heil

a date?

Conrad

I did not.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Conrad

Yeah.

Well, they crash weddings, you know, I was invited.

So it's a little different.

Heather Heil

Oh, so like bridesmaids, like you go hardcore press.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Yeah.

Put your out of state, you're rolling in like a big shot, you know.

I'm a big

Heather Heil

radio producer.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Was there any potential there for?

No, no.

No, it

Conrad

was a small

Pete Schwabba (Host)

wedding.

Oh,

Heather Heil

okay Conrad we love you.

We need to find you a lovely Lovely human to be paired with

Pete Schwabba (Host)

listen.

I stay out of that, but I will defer to Heather.

She's I'm always about this Conrad I

Heather Heil

think that you're awesome, and I love you.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

He is getting relationship advice right now from someone wearing a hard hat and a reflective vest.

Heather Heil

How ridiculous am I

Pete Schwabba (Host)

right now?

I'm in

Heather Heil

my media like mode right now.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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?

Heather Heil

Development.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

And she joins us here periodically.

Love having Heather in the studio.

You're one of my favorite guests.

You know that.

Thank

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

So let's get to it.

Let's get to this construction outfit.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

this.

I am not doing all of the work, but

Pete Schwabba (Host)

it is- But you just like to look the part?

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

And right

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

So

Heather Heil

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

Civic Media Announcer

is

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

true?

That's

Heather Heil

great.

Are you kidding me?

If everyone listening right now gave $5?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Are you parked?

See, I had a little donation I was going to make, but I found a meter spot.

Heather Heil

And then that took care of everything.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

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,

Civic Media Announcer

I

Heather Heil

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

Civic Media Announcer

get into

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

It's a non-for-profit,

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

Can you?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

I can.

I can put cash in your pocket.

It is cash in my pocket.

Yeah, no,

Heather Heil

it is a lot.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Yeah.

But you're, obviously you're doing all the work yourself and that's got to set you back a little bit.

Heather Heil

We

Pete Schwabba (Host)

are all

Heather Heil

doing it.

Yeah.

I like, I'm out there digging in the dirt,

Pete Schwabba (Host)

moving the

Heather Heil

stuff.

They won't give me

a jackhammer yet.

I

keep,

Pete, I keep saying, hey, they're like, no power tools.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

finish this off, I'm going to tell you friends, give because it grows.

the simplest way I can say it.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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,

Heather Heil

all the STEM-based learning

Pete Schwabba (Host)

that we're doing.

AI festivity, yeah.

Heather Heil

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

Civic Media Announcer

all that.

Heather Heil

So that zero to three is so critical in brain development and the block building and where there give them every opportunity

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

something that's not a screen.

Is there any, anyone saying amen to that out there right now?

I

Pete Schwabba (Host)

can't really cast the first down there.

But I'm an adult.

I'm a lost cause.

Heather Heil

Right.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

I might as well just look at my phone all day.

Heather Heil

No, you shouldn't.

Pete, I can help you.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

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

Civic Media Announcer

is

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

what?

They need to have these dreams.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

They all want to be gamers and influencers?

No,

Heather Heil

they do want to be influencers.

Number one thing that they want to be right now is influencers.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

I know it is.

I was like, why did I do

Pete Schwabba (Host)

this?

Heather Heil

Yeah.

You people are not kind.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

Oh no, my little heart's gonna be broken there.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

a safe space for me.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

Really?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

TikTok?

Do you TikTok?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

I have a TikTok account.

I think I have two followers, and I only follow Rob Brackenridge.

Heather Heil

Conrad, we should make a TikTok tonight.

Look at me, I'm like village person.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

Isn't that sweet?

I love

Pete Schwabba (Host)

this,

Heather Heil

I'm so sweet.

They got the YouTube pulled up.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

It's like day and night

Heather Heil

for them.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Awesome, Kriegers.

Paula says I like documentaries about the life of singers and their bands.

Great.

I agree.

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.

Conrad

Yeah, but, you know, it just wasn't as fun for me because we got swept.

I

Pete Schwabba (Host)

get it.

Look, I get it.

That sucks.

I

Heather Heil

know, but by the national champions,

Conrad

I've got to look

Heather Heil

at

Pete Schwabba (Host)

this

Heather Heil

like

Conrad

positive

Pete Schwabba (Host)

world champs.

World champs, not nationals.

Heather Heil

World.

I wanted Toronto to win more than anybody,

Conrad

but.

Yeah, I've really wanted them to win

Pete Schwabba (Host)

this tournament.

Oh, I so

Heather Heil

did.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

But we

Pete Schwabba (Host)

just hate the

Heather Heil

Dodgers that much that we wanted them to win.

I was going

Pete Schwabba (Host)

for the Blue Jays, I admit

Heather Heil

it.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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?

Heather Heil

The gods must be crazy.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Yes,

Heather Heil

I did see that.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

About a million to go.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

So

Heather Heil

we're just, it's nothing to shake a stick at.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

You know what you should talk to?

Who?

Elon Musk.

Heather Heil

Oh, Elon.

Yeah, my buddy.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

He's got some, he's got some walking around money.

Heather Heil

Like, hey, maybe a little something, something for a girl.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

always volunteer.

I would welcome you with open

Pete Schwabba (Host)

arms to come volunteer.

What would I do if I was a volunteer at the Green Bay Children's Museum?

Well, you

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

And he was like, I didn't really do it.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

He already started sweating.

And I just went, huh.

And he goes, what's up?

Is there

Heather Heil

something

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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?

Conrad

I can't remember.

I don't think, I don't, I think so.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Conrad

talk.

I got parking tickets, you know.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

That's about all

Heather Heil

I have on my record too.

That's not too bad.

Yeah, I know.

So, but

Pete Schwabba (Host)

I've had it

Heather Heil

pulled on me a couple of times.

Speeding?

Not, knock on wood.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

I don't, I don't really speed anymore just cause I don't want to get a ticket.

All the

Heather Heil

time cause I'm always late.

I am.

But

Pete Schwabba (Host)

it

Heather Heil

saves you like

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

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

Jules Smith from Cross Plains (caller)

ever

Heather Heil

seen.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

So you

Heather Heil

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

Civic Media Announcer

and

Heather Heil

we celebrate, um, uh, the, so the Hanukkah is the minority.

I see I'm going to talk your.

not firing at all cylinders.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

You're fine, the menorah.

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

and they can do.

The kids lose their mind over there.

The kids

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

as

Heather Heil

well.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Love some K-pop.

Heather Heil

Gonna put that out there.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

Yeah,

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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?

Heather Heil

But

Pete Schwabba (Host)

it was.

It

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

And you can say that because you dressed like a construction worker for the first part of the second.

Heather Heil

I love all people.

Heather

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Lance Barber

Network.

Civic Media Host

Hey, this is Lance Barber and you're listening to Nightlight with Pete Schwabba

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

Wait a

Conrad

minute.

Hold the phone.

I have two versions.

And I, you know, you just got to change it up sometimes.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

No, you have to know all of the things.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

theaters

Heather Heil

because if we don't, they will go away.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

Yeah, so much fun.

Like Frank and Frank is just a...

genuinely great human

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

so, yeah.

I actually teased him one time.

I'm like, hey, you and me on the road together.

Can you imagine?

Like

Pete Schwabba (Host)

whatever he's like, oh, okay.

That's a show.

That's awesome.

Well,

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

musicians

Pete Schwabba (Host)

and

Heather Heil

it's just really, like I love that kind of stuff.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

So

Heather Heil

very, very cool stuff happening here in this area.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Those are great suggestions.

Should we do the quiz con?

Heather Heil

Okay,

Pete Schwabba (Host)

I'm a little

Heather Heil

nervous about this quiz because I really just am new to football, believe it or not.

So I am like a tailgate.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

You're new to football.

Heather Heil

I'm a tailgate queen.

Like

Conrad

I

Heather Heil

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

Conrad

might need to take you in.

I'm glad.

Well, I made it, so I can't be tagged in.

Oh, can I

Heather Heil

take you in?

Conrad

What

Pete Schwabba (Host)

do

Conrad

you

Pete Schwabba (Host)

mean, tag?

Like a

Conrad

lifeline?

He is the answer guy.

We could be like the

Heather Heil

Bushwhackers, and I could be like, take

Conrad

you in.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

So I'm like, okay, so that

Conrad

can help out with the answer.

Yeah,

Pete Schwabba (Host)

just give a

Conrad

little hint maybe or something.

I made it.

pretty easy.

So

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

story.

Like, is there like a vein that we stayed in with these packer questions?

Or is it like,

Conrad

it's all it's about the quarterbacks.

And there's like, there's like two questions about the history.

Heather Heil

Okay.

So actually, like, all right.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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?

Conrad

Listen, yeah.

Heather Heil

I know

Conrad

we

Heather Heil

were all

Conrad

a

Pete Schwabba (Host)

little

Heather Heil

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.

Conrad

I am an owner.

Yeah,

Pete Schwabba (Host)

exactly.

So...

Conrad

We, in Green Bay, you can say we.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

this going to be brutal?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

You're close.

Go three down.

Heather Heil

No, okay.

See, you weren't helping

Pete Schwabba (Host)

me there.

Who was it?

What was the answer?

Red Dunn.

Heather Heil

Red Dunn was the first quarterback

Pete Schwabba (Host)

for Green Bay.

That was kind of a tough

Heather Heil

question, Conor.

That was a really tough question.

Who knows that?

Did you know that before you put this quiz together?

Conrad

Yeah, I... You did not.

I took some tours.

I took two tours of the...

Pete Schwabba (Host)

You did two

Conrad

tours of the Packers

Heather Heil

Stadium.

Conrad

I did two tours.

Guess who's going to be

Heather Heil

assigned

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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?

Heather Heil

Number one.

Number one.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Well done.

Alright, that's one for two.

Okay, and I

Heather Heil

just didn't know the red one actually that was a hard question.

I've never heard that

Pete Schwabba (Host)

before I knew I probably would have guessed it wasn't who is Ricky weeks by the way is that Ricky?

No,

Conrad

isn't that first player?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Oh, okay.

Conrad

I'm like 2010.

I know he was in a major league Ricky weeks

Heather Heil

for

Conrad

it.

Even all right Michael Rex from the Bucks come on now

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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?

Heather Heil

Aaron Rodgers.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

like three

Pete Schwabba (Host)

quarterbacks for

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Civic Media Announcer

been

Pete Schwabba (Host)

1967.

B, 1990, C, 1870 or D, 2010?

66.

Heather Heil

Yeah,

Pete Schwabba (Host)

it was 66.

Heather Heil

They started in 1919.

Is

Pete Schwabba (Host)

that when the backers started?

I think so,

Heather Heil

right?

Probably.

Conrad

I don't know.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

It

Conrad

might be

Pete Schwabba (Host)

a

Conrad

question.

That's why the restaurant is called 19.

It might be a question on there, so I don't know.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

All right.

Interesting.

Food for

Conrad

five.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Number five, how many NFL MVP awards did Brett Favre win during his career?

Was it A1, B2, C3, D, none, too many interceptions.

Heather Heil

Two?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Two or

Heather Heil

three?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Well, if you could commit to... Two, three.

Heather Heil

I'm gonna commit to three.

Let's go through.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

All right.

Dee probably would have been true to, but Farv's already in the hall of fame.

Because

Heather Heil

you get the MVP when you win Super Bowl, so I was just trying to do the math there.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, you don't get the MVP.

You don't have the MVP just for winning the Super Bowl.

Heather Heil

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?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

You have to play in the Super Bowl to get the Super Bowl most valuable

Heather Heil

player.

Oh,

Pete Schwabba (Host)

okay.

Yeah.

Heather Heil

See?

We're learning something.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Man, I'm the sports authority.

Heather Heil

Drop in our sports knowledge

on you.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Right now,

Heather Heil

my Dan right now is going ballistic at

Pete Schwabba (Host)

how horrible I am.

He's pacing at home.

Yes, sorry,

Heather Heil

I'm letting you down.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

It's not Brett Varv.

Utah State.

Because Brett Varv was OK.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Schwabler did not go to Utah State.

No, it wasn't

Heather Heil

Schwabler.

It was not Brett Varv.

It was who were the other

Pete Schwabba (Host)

two?

Jordan Love and Tom Brady.

Heather Heil

Jordan Love.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Oh, she is on a roll.

Six for seven.

The process of elimination.

That

Conrad

Schwabler was really good in the NFL, though.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

He had a good arm.

He didn't.

Heather Heil

That's not a made-up person.

That totally sounds like a Conrad name.

I'm like, Schwabler?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

He was a good quarterback.

He did not throw for strength or accuracy.

And he really couldn't read his progression.

I would have

Heather Heil

named a dance after him.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

The Schwabler.

The Schwabler.

Yeah, because that just makes me want to wiggle.

Makes you want to wobble.

Jules Smith from Cross Plains (caller)

He does.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Heather Heil

around there.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Heather Heil is crushing our Green Bay Packers

Heather Heil

Heather Heil

looks smart?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Who is the Packers head coach?

During their Super Bowl XLV victory.

Heather Heil

Mike Holmgren?

Is that 55?

I

Conrad

think it's, isn't it 45?

I

Heather Heil

don't know, who are my

Conrad

choices?

Is

Heather Heil

that Mike Holmgren?

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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

Conrad

45, by the way.

Is it a 45?

Okay,

Heather Heil

yeah.

Because I'm weird with yours.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Yeah, and numbers me too.

It's been a long time since I've been fluent in Roman numerals number 10 favorite favorite packer of all time No wrong answers a all of them.

Conrad

That's that's the correct one

Heather Heil

a all of them or

Conrad

be

Heather Heil

Mason Crosby It is for real how come well, let me just again non-for-profit world.

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

great, and you know what?

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

Civic Media Announcer

anything.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

of the things.

Did we talk about that last time we were here?

We did

Heather Heil

because we was coming out and I was like, and we, John Candy movie and did

Pete Schwabba (Host)

the whole

Heather Heil

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

Pete Schwabba (Host)

person he is and how nobody,

Heather Heil

nobody likes him.

And all of a sudden John Candy just says, I like

Pete Schwabba (Host)

me.

My wife likes me.

Heather Heil

Civic Media Announcer

month I meet with

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Wow.

What is that

Heather Heil

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

There

Civic Media Announcer

was a guy

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

it's a

Heather Heil

win

Pete Schwabba (Host)

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.

Heather Heil

It's so good.

And Catherine O'Hare's in there and she's a national treasure.

Bart Star.

Oh my gosh.

She's only got one wrong, right?

Conrad

Heather Heil

Malik, though, I like that.

No, I'd be rating him.

I told him, make it easy.

Make the guest look good.

Thank you, Conrad.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

No, these are, I wouldn't have.

What unique ownership structure makes the Packers different from every other NFL team.

Orange or yellow?

Heather Heil

Orange.

Pete Schwabba (Host)

Orange totally.

Yellow does nothing for me.

Heather Heil
