Packers Triumph and Football Flicks

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.

This is Night Light with Peach Waba.

Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now a guy who prefers to travel by catapult, Peach Waba.

Welcome to Night Light, ladies and gentlemen.

Oh man, it is finally Monday.

We are back on the air ready to talk about the things in life that make us happy.

And start your week off on a good note, hopefully.

Hope you had a great day.

Hope you're staying warm.

It was a frigid, frigid weekend here in Wisconsin over most of the state.

And it looks like there's no sign of let up in sight.

We've got weather on the way.

We'll talk about that a little bit.

And we'll talk about two big sporting events over the weekend.

Packers Bears, Marquette UW, lots going on there.

We've got, oh my gosh, so much going on.

We've got Netflix mergers and Don Rosen.

If you listen to WRJN or hear Don Rosen here on the network, he's been a guest on this show.

I have a really interesting tidbit that Don shared with me earlier about Netflix.

And we've got news about a big beer coming to Wisconsin that's going to be released here in...

and I'm going to have to lead on Conrad a little bit.

for that because I'm not a huge beer drinker, but apparently this beer in this news is huge.

Lots going on.

Great guests.

We are going to kick off the week right here tonight and do it in style.

We've got Mike Clemens coming up at 535.

He's going to break down the Packer Bear game.

It was a good one.

And we'll talk to Mike about that at 535 and get his thoughts.

And we've got, God, we've got Wisconsin Historical Society guests on tonight.

All kinds of fun.

guests.

Mike will be here at, as I mentioned, at 535.

Glenn Silver, Wisconsin native filmmaker, will be on to discuss his really cool new documentary called Baristas vs. Billionaires.

That's coming up at 610 when Glenn will be here.

He's in town in Madison, that is, for a

A couple night run over at the beautiful Barrymore Theater, our resident mob expert Bob Dennis is going to drop by the studio at 635 to talk about Wise Guys and their connection to Wisconsin and their connection to the holidays.

Should be a really fun segment as it always is with Bob.

At 635 we've got Bridget Zilke from the Wade House, one of the many fascinating Wisconsin historical sites.

Bridget will join us and tell us about a really, really cool event going on at Wade House this weekend.

So you're here on a great night, folks.

We're covering several different topics from all over the state.

And it should be a good show.

Working the war tonight is Conrad Krieger.

Hello, Conrad.

Hello.

Are you exhausted after trying to figure out this?

You know, sometimes technology just doesn't like you.

You

got it working, though.

It looks like, I mean, I can see myself.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad

thing.

It's a working camera.

You know, it's on my side of the glass, so there's a little bit of reflection.

But

that's all

right.

Works

fine.

I have to have the lights on in the studio tonight because we can't see otherwise.

Yes, correct.

I like my nightlight back there on, but that's okay.

We'll do the show in a well lit room.

I

usually turn on the lights anyway when guests come into the studio because I don't want to give them the wrong idea.

And Bob Dennis has been here several times.

So lots of fun stuff.

We got a great question tonight, folks.

And it is a theme, kind of a theme question here at nightlight tonight.

Why don't we do this con?

Let's do the question of the night before we do the text-to-win because I've got text-to-win information coming up too and you're gonna get the keyword in this first segment folks so don't go anywhere but right now it's time for our nightlight question of the night.

Let's talk about the question.

Okay, question.

Question.

Question.

Pregunta.

Question.

Question.

Okay, I have a question.

Questions.

This question.

Domanda.

Question.

Questions.

Oh, here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen, what is your favorite football movie?

We are in the throws.

The NFL season is really heating up.

We've got a great battle that we're coming off of yesterday with the Packers and the Bears.

The NFC North is still open for the taking.

We had a great game last night that saw Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City lose, which is always fun.

Great night.

It was a great night.

So that's our question tonight.

What is your favorite football movie?

There's been a lot of great ones and some that were like had football is a theme You can even say something about Mary because that had football Brett favre was in it or favre

So if it's remotely tied to football, we'll accept that answer, 855-752-4842-8557-5CIVIC.

What is your favorite football movie?

If you're listening on the app, you can text us on the app as well, very easy to use.

Just click the little text icon and fire away and I will read your text on the radio.

And if you're watching on the stream and people can see us on the stream, correct?

That is correct.

All right, drop us a stream comment.

And I will read it on the radio.

Love when you guys participate.

Just a reminder, too, the phone lines are open, folks.

You can jump in and talk about anything we're talking about here in hour number one and throughout the course of the show.

We've got some bad weather on the way, Conrad.

I don't know if you know that.

I do.

I just found out, and you and I found out the exact same way.

We got a spectrum notice.

And, you know, I have the Apple iPhone weather app.

There was no snow in any of the next few days.

Yeah.

But then I clicked like in the middle of the night and there were snowflakes and we're supposed to get like four inches of snow in Marinette, about four inches in Green Bay.

Madison and Milwaukee on Wednesday are supposed to get freezing rain.

So that'll be interesting.

Just a mess.

And it's only December.

You know, it always scares me when it says freezing rain.

I'm like, great, that's going to be a beautiful day.

Yeah.

And I need new tires too.

My mechanics at edge probably take.

change your tires.

I'm like, it's only late November.

I'm fine for at least another month, because I've been going based on what it's been like the last few years, but as it turns out, I went to Milwaukee this past weekend for the Milwaukee Independent Film Awards and had a great time there.

But that was the, I think that was the fifth time I woke up Sunday morning, ready to go back up to Marinette and my wife and I get to the car and we had to brush it off like five times already.

It wasn't even forecast.

I stayed over at my brother's on Saturday, so Sunday, I was like, I didn't even go outside until after the Packer game.

Yeah, it sucked.

But you could watch the game, you could watch the game and go, all right, it's not snowing out.

So that was the one advantage you could do.

I guess, yeah.

So anyway, we'll keep you posted if there's anything huge weather, any huge weather related news, at least in Northeast Wisconsin, it's supposed to start tonight, very late, as I understand it.

And then again, was it tomorrow night?

Yeah, you said around six.

Six o'clock, yeah.

Which sucks.

Yeah, and then I think Madison and Milwaukee might get a little bit, but not quite as much.

But so we'll keep you posted.

But let us know.

This is kind of cool.

We've got, for you beer drinkers, and I'm not even a drinker anymore.

I don't really do alcohol per se.

Maybe a little rubbing alcohol once in a while if I'm really thirsty.

But, you know, in a pinch.

We've got a beer coming to Wisconsin that is 200 years old, yinling.

Now, if you're a beer drinker, you've probably heard of this.

You heard of it.

I have never

heard of this beer.

I

love yinling.

And Aaron Coreno, one of our civic media colleagues here, gave me this information.

It's coming to Wisconsin and Iowa in 2026.

It came to Illinois, I believe, this year.

They're going to be in 30 states after they're here.

Tell me, Conrad, why this beer is so

good.

Let's just say it has beer with flavor.

It has what?

It's a beer with flavor.

Oh, okay.

You know, you got those light beers that taste a little bit like water.

Yeah,

this one actually has flavor to it.

Okay.

I don't know else to explain it besides it's just a great beer.

Well, that's great.

Is it going to compete with like spotted cow?

It's not as good as spotted cow.

No, I mean, no beers as good as spotted cow.

Let's just put

it out there.

But it's my second favorite.

They're yingling just

Lager their basic one great beer

good stuff, and

they also have a light beer too called the England flight, which is decent, okay?

So nothing to be scared of it's not gonna overtake a spotted cow or anything like that But people in Wisconsin at least will have the option of this beer that is yeah supposedly this guy built a billion dollar fortune on this beer It's been around 200 years.

That's insane.

Yeah, and I mean we couldn't get in Wisconsin of my those I think that's my brother's one of my brother's favorite beers and

He'd go down and get beer and come back.

How far do you have to drive?

I think it's in Georgia around there, but you have to go pretty far down.

Your brother might be an alcoholic.

That's all I'm saying.

If you

wanted

to drive

to

Georgia for a

beer.

Well, no, he was working there at that time, so it was like, yeah.

Your brother is a fine upstanding member of society.

If you haven't tried Yingling, highly recommend it.

when it comes to Wisconsin in 2026.

Absolutely.

So my favorite football movie, I'll go first and let me know folks, I'm about to give you text to win information and I know the text line will be dominated by that, but if you want to get your vote in early for best football movie, I'm gonna go first and I'm gonna say all the right moves.

A Tom Cruise movie from probably 84, 85, I think it came out right after Risky Business, but a really good football movie where Craig T. Nelson plays as coach,

And Tom Cruise is growing up in a Western Pennsylvania steel town, just trying to get out and study, I think, engineering.

But he's got to get a scholarship because everybody from town goes to work in the mills.

Really good football movie, really good story.

I would say a runner up would be, remember the Titans.

What about you, Con?

The longest yard.

Let me guess.

The Adam Sandler one and... I

actually...

on social media.

I said both versions.

They're both funny films.

They're both great.

I think that was one of my first football movies I think I saw, to be honest.

But I remember going to Remember the Titans.

They did a screening at my local theater, and we went with the whole football team.

So

that was a pretty

cool experience.

Oh yeah, that was great.

My only issue with Remember the Titans is at the end of the movie, this is just bad writing, but

The Titans are down by a touchdown.

There's like four seconds on the clock.

And the opposing coach yells, they're going to throw it deep.

Cover deep!

Like, wow, really?

Like the most successful coach in the history of the state?

It's

such a bad line.

Like,

you don't need

it.

Yeah.

I mean, he could have actually went to some coaches and be like, what is the formation for when you have everyone back instead of just saying cover

deep?

Either that or just like, yeah.

like let's not worry about the off tackle run right now, you know, something.

But a great movie, really good movie, solid film.

So let us know what your favorite football movie is, folks.

As I mentioned, the Packers beat the Bears yesterday.

Packer fans are thrilled.

And I will say this, all my Bear fan friends weren't like, like the game was there.

You catch that touchdown,

And everybody seems to think Ben Johnson would have gone for two, because that's who he is.

Probably.

Maybe they could have snuck out of there with a win, but the Packers, the Packers offense were like surgeons.

They'd come out and answer what the Bears did precisely and quickly.

And the Bears were like power football in the second, in that second half, just running over the Packer defense, which to a Bear fan was like, okay, here we go.

But they just don't have the players the Packers

have.

the second half they came out and they wasted, I'm not, they used a lot of clock and that kept our defense on the field and it really tired them out.

You could easily, you could tell.

And I

mean, it was just, it was such a fun game and I can't wait for in two weeks.

That should be good.

And it was, it was.

really cold.

We'll see if it's as cold next time.

But hey, folks, it is time for me to give you some details on our grown-up gift list, multi-stay text-to-win contest we're doing here at Civic Media through the 12th.

Okay.

So this is interesting because I didn't know this until I got here, but you told me that, and I did this in my beats.

I think they ran today.

Netflix was threatening to buy Warner Brothers.

And I say threatening, pardon me, because

The CEO of Netflix has basically said he doesn't he said the days of people going in the movies are over He wants people sitting in their living rooms watching movie movies further Isolating us from each other You might as well sit home on your phone and watch TV.

That is not the right look.

We all do that I love that, but it's a terrible outlook So they offered Netflix offered like I thought it was 72 billion you said 82 billion 82 billion yeah, it's a ton of money to buy Warner Brothers

and their catalog and all their franchises and all their great films.

So now today I got here and you told me Conrad that Paramount is making a play for Warner Brothers as well.

Yes, a lot more money too.

I believe it was $108 billion to buy it.

They don't come in at $83

billion, an extra billion.

It seems like bad negotiating.

Yeah, so you know.

I don't know who I want to own it.

I wish Warner Brothers would just keep it because I think what they've done with their films is great.

Sure.

The oldest

studio in Hollywood, I believe.

I think it predates Disney.

I could be wrong about that.

Like you said, Netflix, they want to keep you at home.

Right.

And I don't know.

I do like some Paramount stuff, but I don't feel like their movies are that compared to Warner Brothers.

There's no real...

Well, they're movies, they have good movies, but recently, I would say Paramount, and if you subscribe to Paramount Plus, they've got all the Taylor Sheridan movies on there, or TV shows on there, but he left, and now he's somewhere, I think he's at NBC, that's the network that canceled, I believe, Co-Bear, or was it Kimmel?

I don't know, but they had to, so whatever.

I don't think either one of them, I wish Warner Brothers would just stay Warner Brothers, but I don't want people not to go to movies, and I don't want,

you know, CEOs and executives overseeing content politically of what we should be watching.

Leave that up to us, but we'll see what happens.

This is interesting though.

Don Rosen, our civic media brother who does an amazing job down on The Morning Show at WRJN, spinning the oldies like we do here at WGBW, in my beat about this

I said, Netflix has come a long way since they used to mail DVDs in those paper containers mid 2000s or like 2005, whatever it was.

Don said, and I didn't know this either.

In his email, he said, I was one of the last customers that actually got my movies that way.

And he said it was like a year ago as it turns out he shared with me the email.

And this is from Netflix to our pal Don Rosen.

Dear Don, for 25 years, it's been our extraordinary privilege to mail movie nights to our members all across America.

On September 29th, 2023, we will ship our final iconic red envelope.

While times have changed since our first shipment in March of 1998, our goal has remained the same, to provide you with access to the broadest collection of movies and shows possible, delivered directly to your door with no due dates or late fees.

As the DVD business continues, blah, blah, blah.

So you get the idea and Netflix closed it by saying, pop popcorn, fire up the player and enjoy this final season of red envelopes.

Now, to be fair,

I think Netflix recently became my favorite streamer.

Like if you're gonna watch something at home, at least they drop all the episodes at once and it's ad-free.

It's a little more expensive than the other streamers, but I like that.

So as streamers go, I don't mind Netflix, but I don't like them trying to discourage people from going to the movies.

So there you go.

Lots going on here tonight.

Mike Clemmons coming up in just a few minutes folks and we're gonna have some mob talk in hour two as well as talk about a great documentary that is playing at the Barrymore Theater Wednesday and Thursday of this week and then we're gonna have a little Wisconsin Historical Society talk in hour three Regarding the Wade House and a really cool event that's coming up there.

But did you see you know what?

How much time do we have?

About a minute and a half.

A minute and a half.

I can read some of these.

There's some of our social media responses to our question of the day.

What is your favorite football movie?

Conrad Krieger, The Longest Yard.

Both versions are great.

Peach Waba, All the Right Moves, Rich Luccasio, our WRJ and pal says invincible.

What

is that one?

I

don't think I remember

that one.

I'm trying to remember it, but I don't know if I've seen that in a

while.

Thank you, Rich.

Matt Harper, Green Bay Rockwrap artist says Rudy.

Great

film.

Oh, yeah.

Eric Rathsack from Ask Your Mother.

We love Eric when he and Adam come in.

He says, Rudy is an all-timer of the replacements for a comedy.

Nice, Eric.

Love the replacements.

All right, well, Keanu Reeves.

Scott Tom says, the longest yard, the original with Bert Reynolds.

Rudy, leather heads with John Krasinski and George Clooney was pretty funny.

I never saw that.

Great one, though, Tex.

Yeah.

Scott, good.

Good contribution.

Kevin Williams, my pal Kevin Williams says everybody's all American.

Dennis Quaid, forgot about that one too.

Eric Pratt says the blind side.

Lots of good movies, lots of great football movies, folks.

Keep those texts coming and get that keyword in.

This is Pete Schwabba in Night Light.

We're coming right back with our pal Mike Clemens to break down the Packer Bear game.

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

really close at the end, but give a lot of credit to Green Bay.

They made made a couple more plays than us.

Fortunately there in the second half our offense was able to find its footing a little bit both in the run game and the passing game and it felt like felt like we had a little bit of rhythm.

So made it a game, but felt short at the end of the

day.

Caleb a chance to run it.

The bootleg to the left.

Komet gets behind him and Caleb not enough on that ball.

Nixon recovering in coverage on Komet under thrown and Nixon makes the game saving play in their own end zone.

What a game.

Halfly fired up.

Great defense and it's not a sixth game winning fourth quarter comeback for this Bears team.

They showed a lot of fight today KB.

It certainly was not and the game ended a really good game ended on a fantastic play by the Packer defense Joining us now to break down the game is our pal and he is no stranger He spent a better part of an hour with us last week even even stuck around for barbie on Friday night Which is pretty cool civic media sports authority Mike Clemens joins us over the phone.

Hey Mike Hi, Pete.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

I was treated to a wonderful football game yesterday.

My team didn't come out ahead, but they look competitive, and that's all I can ask for.

And tip of my hat to the Packers.

That was a pretty phenomenal way to end the game.

Yeah, Packers' defense won after Caleb Williams.

I mean, I even took this video that had a million views at practice, Packers' practice last week, where it's like, why is Micah Parsons running around?

It wasn't until I

actually could got back to the office and looked at it and a second all look at it he's got football he's playing Caleb Williams scrambling around and the other defensive linemen are chasing him so number one was playing the role of Caleb Williams for the package defensive line and i'll tell you he did a pretty good impression because Caleb can really move yeah and so they kept him on the run

uh... i mean he started out one for seven because he's under so much pressure yeah but you know by half time i think he kind of got used to what the temple is going to be and maybe where you could find some lanes where you could at least set up and throw and he made some pretty spectacular throws and then it gets down to a fourth and one and green base up twenty eight to twenty one answer uh... you know they've got the the chicago's got the ball in the green bay sixteen sixteen yards away

from scoring a tie in touchdown and then they might have the decision do we kick up point after and tied up or do we go for two and try and win it and you know avoid over time so Caleb takes the ball and he starts scrambling over to his left and kisha nixon is lined up on the left hand side over the right tackle the bears because the guy he's supposed to cover dj more a wide receiver starts out there but he goes in motion

before the snap, over to the left tackle.

So Kishan is trailing him down the line, ball snap, plays underway, Caleb is rolling out to his left, and all of a sudden you see the other tight end, Cole Comett leave from the right left tackle position and kind of slip through all the guys, and there he is in the corner of the end zone wide open.

And Kishan has enough sense to say, whoa, I'm not going to cover this guy, he's still

mess around the backfield i better get that guy that just released in his uh... and uncovered so he rolls over there goes flying through the air and i asked him i asked each other after the game what he saw on that play that he ended up making the interception to secure the win for green bay

We was in like a zero call and my guy went behind the backfield and I was chasing.

I saw the tie didn't freeze so I knew he was the only person to get the ball.

So this just ran to me through the ball.

I just think I kind of got high.

It was kind of high.

Did I jump high?

I thought he was

going to overthrow it over me and then I jumped and I was like, I can't grab it.

Did you know before the snap of the air were to throw, was there any kind of tell that?

No.

I was a losing man and my guy went behind the line of the streams I was chasing and I just saw somebody go free.

I just chased him.

20 my man

Wow, yeah, that was a great play mic and you know did what surprised you about the game mic like either from the Bears of the Packers

I Guess I would have thought that the Bears would have more success at running the football because you know for me I thought the Packers run defense did a pretty good job on that And I'm surprised that Caleb was not able to make

some completions earlier in the game.

Yeah.

Or that, you know, Jeff Halfley had Ben Johnson's offensive tricks figured out, you know, because Ben Johnson is a sharp coach.

Look, how much, you know, production he's gotten and turning around the Bears had him in first place, you know, heading into yesterday's game.

So then, you know, it's, hey, it's old Bears and Packers and the Bears have got a rookie receiver

uh... by the name of a looser i covered this guy kid down in uh... at the combine looser burden because there's a uh... radio network in missouri that uh... they they call me and say hey if you go to the nfl combine the galley's kids we got a kid from a zoo from missouri name looser burden we think he's going to go high in the pic could you get an interview with them at combat sure which i did and he was

He's not an outgoing guy.

He's not like a high-energy guy.

He's a low, competitive guy like this.

You know, tough dude, very built, wide receiver.

So the Bears picked him in the second round.

So he's out there running around, running some passes, blocking, hitting.

And then after a play, there's kind of an excursion.

And the next thing you know is you see Keisha Nixon walking up to him and this kid, this rookie,

grabs nixon by the throat and so kishan makes a swim move with his arm like hey get your arm off my throat well that's all that the referee saw because the referee was coming up from the back he threw a 15-yard unnecessary ruffles flag on on nixon and to which the floor is you know going nuts right and yelling at nixon when he gets up like you know why did you take the bait so why ask kishan were you surprised that you were the one penalized

Afterwards the Bears, you know, burdened this rookie grabbed him by the throat

Who I mean I had them and then I let them go and they let them come back around and try to you know It's a division game.

It's gonna always be like that.

We want that smoke.

We'll see him again in two weeks.

They ain't changing No,

it's always the second guy that gets caught right Mike

That's exactly what happened, and he didn't want to, you know, get into it.

It's like, hey, it's past.

And in the meantime, LaFleur gave him a game ball.

But, you know, he was upset, you know, after the game at the post-game press conference that, you know, Nixon got baited from this rookie burden when he grabbed him by the throat.

That's the voice of Mike Clemens, our civic media sports guru, does a great job covering all sports, specifically the Bears and the Packers, which happened yesterday.

We're breaking down the game here with Mike.

Mike, what did you think of the lightning fast handshake between the coaches at the end of the game?

LaFleur seemed like he wanted no part of Ben Johnson.

I don't know what Johnson would have said to him, but they have a history thanks to Ben Johnson's introductory press conference that we talked about on Friday.

That was a pretty fast handshake.

I think it was intentional.

Yeah.

Me too.

I mean, what are you supposed to do,

right?

If you're LaFleur.

Well, for

people to know and what we're talking about, the game is over.

It ends on this, you know, thrilling play.

And, you know, the Packers take a kneel down.

And so Matt goes run across the field.

He locates Ben Johnson, the head coach.

And I, like, take almost like slapped hands.

I mean, he just, hi.

And then he ran away.

It's not like he stopped and put his arm on his shoulder and, you know,

a good game like i said visit a you know and i believe will force it all i just was a few two weeks which they will

right

now in two weeks will be down chicago playing the bears again but then that ran over to the total before we went to the locker room he jumped up a couple times like a cheerleader you don't get to get the crowd all wrapped up and uh... so that was pretty funny there's uh... uh... we also got that you know here from Caleb Williams on what happened on that uh... past intended

to Cole come at what he saw on that play that got intercepted by Keyshawn Nixon if you have that one Conrad.

We had about two or three guys in front of either either stacking Swift or right there with Swift and so you know rode out and saw Cole and tried to give him a big boy ball try and let him go up for it because I end up seeing 25 starting to sprint and so.

try to try to slow them up and, you know, kind of give them a chance in those moments.

It's, you know, got to have a moment and they had a guy trailing me and so didn't feel that I could go get it myself.

And so I just got to give Cole a better, you know, a better shot at it.

I think, you know, next time, just extend them a little bit more and kind of lead them.

You know, but in those moments, you want to put the ball in play and trust your guy or, you know, try to have your guy go make a play and just got to give him a better ball.

Well said.

I mean, there's not much you can do about it.

Nixon made a great play and Williams just a couple of weeks earlier.

completed that same pass to Cole Comet Mike, I can't remember what game it was successfully.

So it really was just Nixon making a great play.

Yeah, and I asked LaFleur this afternoon about the play, now that he had time to watch the film.

And I said, um, so am I right that, that Keisha Nixon was following DJ Moore, but then when he realized no one was covering Cole Comet in the end zone, he broke off from that assignment and ran over there when flying through the air.

and somehow picked that pass-off for an interception and prevented the bearish from scoring a touchdown and tying the game.

And I also said, and who's supposed to be covering Cole Comett when he releases from the line?

And then one of the other reporters, I knew this.

I was going to see if LaFleur was going to admit it.

He didn't say it.

But Evan Williams admitted to the other reporters.

It was me.

I was busy looking at the stuff they had going on in the short.

You know, area of the flats as they call it by the sideline.

That was my guy.

I should have followed him into the end zone.

So, and LaFleur said it wasn't that unique a play.

It's just, you know, they, like you say, they've executed that play before and it's worked for her from the past.

The other thing I think thought was interesting, maybe for the Bears fans standpoint is, so, you know, how did the Bears take this?

Well, the fact is they've won nine of the last 10 games.

They're the

Cinderella team of the NFL, like we talked about the other night.

And so Cole Comet,

who was intended for that pass was asked, how do you feel about losing this game to the Packers tonight at Green Bay?

We're a good football team, and I think that's a really good football team.

Look, it wasn't our best first half of football, but I thought we responded really well coming back.

Cato made some really amazing throws on the ground, and yeah, definitely some good stuff there.

Obviously, it sucks with the result, but we'll regroup, get back to it, and look for a win here this upcoming week.

Wow, yeah, it's interesting a lot of my friends Mike are saying that they have no doubt Johnson would have gone for two if it had gotten to that point I have to say though for a guy who has been is probably a coach of the year candidate I did not like that last drive as a fan.

He would they were kind of running the ball successfully and a lot of time ticked off that clock

Yeah, that's a good point because they had some time outs there at the end of the game.

Yeah, and time on the clock

So why were they kind of in a hurry to take those shots?

But they were on a roll, because the last couple of plays before that, Caleb Williams was on the run, being chased around, but he made some spectacular completions in order to get to that 16-yard line play.

And just before that was a weird thing that the Bears were set up to run a play, and then all of a sudden the floor called a timeout.

And today we asked him about that.

He said, you know, I was going to call a timeout anyway, just to try and get them a little bit out of their rhythm or see what their lineup was.

But the other thing is, the package had made a substitution.

They had 12 men on the field.

So LaFleur called a timeout to avoid getting 12 men on the field.

Otherwise, it would have been a first down form.

So LaFleur won that battle in terms of game management, avoiding his team getting penalized for 12 men on the field.

But that might have gotten a...

The Bears a little bit out of rhythm and also might have let, you know, the Packers defense set up a little bit for that fourth in one play.

That's great stuff, Mike.

We're going to do a very short break.

We'll have a couple more minutes with Mike, then he's got to get back to work.

But I'm going to ask Mike when we come back, what he thinks we can look for in the second matchup, which is just two weeks away, a great game yesterday.

Mike Clemens is here.

It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight.

I'll also ask Mike his favorite football movie when we come back.

This is the Civic Media Radio Network.

Officials, I don't think that their jobs are easy by any stretch.

I think it is a difficult job, but I guess I don't know what holding is anymore because I thought that was pretty clear and clear and obvious hold, but I guess I don't know what that means.

That was Packer Coach Matt LeFleur, compliments of Mike Clemmons.

We got a couple more minutes with our Pelt.

Mike Clemens here talking Bears Packers.

A great game yesterday.

Mike, what can we expect in a couple weeks, you think, a similar game?

They'll be in Chicago this time.

Both coaches, I'm sure, have had a look at each other now.

What do you think we can expect?

Well, now the Bears are in second place.

The Packers are back in first place in the division.

But the Packers have got a tough assignment.

on sunday afternoon three twenty-five kick against the Denver Broncos who currently are the number one feed

their

top over in the air see they've got eleven wins whereas the bears are going to play the cleveland browns one of the struggling teams in the league and then then the packers and bears will read me to uh... in at soldier field following saturday night for seven twenty-five kick now one of the things that was happened in this game uh... yesterday you heard metal floor referring to it

was micah parsons the path rusher for the packers to get the difference maker wearing the number one jersey that the packers made that huge trade for at the start of the season with the dallas cowboys you know as uh... as weeks go on these offense alignment just can't keep them off their quarterback or out of their backfield there's a couple times where they were just holding it you know there was one play where mike is coming off on the right tackle

and the right tackles like practically got him in a fireman's carry like his arm wrapped around his neck as you try to get around him to get to the quarterback they took a still shot of it from the ground from the stadium cameras and they put that up on the scoreboard and people were screaming and so michael parsons was asked after the game are you like are you getting used to the fact that they're just never going to go call holding uh... on the office of lineman trying to block you

Yeah, I'm immune.

I just got a key fighting through I mean that's been a Definition my career is always fighting through whatever.

I'm a smaller guy and I think they realized that and I got Advantage on the defensive side and I play with a great leverage and I'm able to get under people's arms But no point.

I think the rulebook is they got to be in a chest area And I'm just not getting grabbing chest here.

But like I said, there's nothing I Can do about I just got a key fighting through

Well, he's had some great quotes this past week, hasn't he Mike?

He's had great quotes since he read.

That's the way he is.

He's well read.

He knows all kind.

He knows everything from Oli to Kobe in terms of competitor and thought, you know.

He's quite the leader that way.

He's very detailed.

He's very smart.

He's really quick that way.

I mean, he reminds me of, I think he's destined to be one of the greats.

And so then Michael was asked,

So, you know, the Bears offensive game plan has been like what you've seen the last three or four weeks.

It's like, keep your quarterback on the move to get away from him.

Run the ball a lot.

Don't pass it so much.

Don't have your quarterback stand back there, you know, like a dead duck just waiting for it.

And we asked Micah, did the Bears offensive plan, was it aimed at him on defense?

We definitely had their attention and respect.

I mean, you go watch any of their games.

They never played a football game like that.

I mean, a run game, of course, but...

I mean, max protection.

I mean, I mean, a guy that directed Darnell, right?

I mean, you know, I expected a more of a drop-back game, but no drop-back, a lot of boots, a lot of sifts, and just really trying to get the ball out of his hands as much as possible.

So I think we earned a lot of respect schematically, but we just got to adjust for the next time we see him, understanding how they're going to play us.

I don't think anybody would argue with that.

That's great stuff, Mike.

Hey, this is always fun, buddy, when you come on here.

I look forward to the next matchup between these two teams when they play for the 212th time.

Outstanding.

Do you have a favorite football movie, Mike?

Yeah, when I look at football movies, I can't help but look for realism, because football is really hard to capture.

And Warren Beatty's Heaven Can Wait, they've got some moments.

Oliver Stone had one called on any given Sunday with Al Pacino playing a head coach.

It got a little kind of corny.

There's a movie called North Dallas 40 from the 70s with Nick Nolte and Mac Davis.

That's pretty close to the real thing.

But you know, the longest yard with Bert Reynolds and some former players in there, Nitchki's in there.

But you know what's really got the most authentic looking scenes from that era?

His Brian song.

Oh, yeah,

con is Brian Pickleau who, you know, passed away from cancer and Billy D Williams playing the great Gale Sayers, you know, the Chicago Bears in the late 60s.

They did it, you know, at the Bears training camp.

There's a lot of actual Bears players that are in the scenes.

And it's, I mean, it takes you right back to the real, the way it really was in training camp and say, you know, 1966, 67.

That's great stuff.

He just gave us like four movies to check out, Mike, and they're all good.

Thank you so much, buddy.

Keep bringing the truth to the people.

It's great to talk to you as always.

Thank you, boys.

Have a good night.

All right, you too.

That's Mike Clemens.

Check out his work.

Follow him on Twitter.

Mike Clemens NFL.

He does great work there and here at Civic Media as well.

Going back to the text line, some of your text, Alan Whitebird says the program.

Have you seen that con?

I've never seen it.

I have not.

No, I'll have to check that out.

Boris Hamilton, who is on the show later this week, very funny.

Boris Hamilton says Rudy, another vote for Rudy.

Civic Media's own Tony Zimmerman says the replacements.

There you go, Conn.

That's a great one.

That's one of your faves.

Civic Media, our fellow Civic Media colleague.

Also, Jenny Brand agrees, says such a solid choice, Tony Zimmerman.

Jason Jerry says, necessary roughness, starring Kathy Ireland as the kicker.

I forgot about them.

Was that HBO show?

You know, I think that was a movie.

Thinking about it would probably be like a Disney one.

Yeah, if Kathy Ireland's the kicker, yeah, maybe.

And then Eric Pratt says the blind side.

George Chimmers, remember the Titans, totally agree, George.

Richard Vargas says mash, there's some football in mash, that's a good one.

Arpal Mike Schmidt, the hilarious Mike Schmidt says agree on Rudy, an original longest yard.

I'll throw in North Dallas 40, Brian's song having to wait.

He just mirrored, he said exactly what Mike said.

Hey, we're coming right back for hour number two.

It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight.

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.

This is Night Light with Pete Chwaba.

Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now a guy who always reads between the lines until he sees a car coming.

Pete Chwaba.

All right.

Welcome back folks.

This is night light and we are kicking off act two here on a beautiful supposed to be snowy night as we move on here in northeast, Wisconsin Be careful out there if you're driving late Con what is your app say about?

Madison Milwaukee tomorrow.

I didn't I usually don't look at Madison Milwaukee probably should

We are on statewide, my friend, that is inexcusable.

We will see what we can find out for all of you folks listening in Madison and Milwaukee.

But there is going to be some weather here in northeast Wisconsin.

It is great to have you with me, folks.

I am Pete Schwab.

This is Nightlight Conrad Krieger working the board.

We just had a great talk with Mike Clemens.

So much fun talking to Mike about the Bears and the Packers.

Man, does that guy know his stuff?

Yeah.

It was, you know, if you, even if you didn't watch the game, you pretty much just watched the game right there.

Exactly.

And, you know, Mike was here Friday and we kept him for like an hour.

He ended up sticking with us through Barbie on Friday night.

And then I forgot about this.

He stuck around for like another 45 minutes and we were just kind of shooting the breeze back

here

after the show was over, which I'm sure thrilled you because I still had work to do.

So you could get out of here, but Mike and I were hanging like a couple of pals.

It was fun.

Speaking of sports, you had a great prediction, Conrad.

Tell the fine listeners what your prediction was.

Well, for those of you who don't know what my favorite sport is, it's basketball.

And I pay a lot of attention to badger basketball.

And I make the call, this great show that we do with Jimmy Cusco, Parker Olsen, and Greg Gunnerson.

I'm part of it, part of the round table.

And we talk at 7am, well, we do a prerecord, but it's 7am with top seven.

Sports stories of the week.

Yeah, and this week obviously Marquette faced Wisconsin in-state rivalry and I had a prediction and Let's just say it was pretty it was pretty good pretty spot.

I am

super hype I can't wait to see John Blackwell and Nick Boyd put up, you know Maybe 20 and 30 on the on the Marquette Golden Eagles the Golden Eagles aren't that good this year They're five and four and they've they've lost to not that great teams, but one against like terrible teams So I'm thinking we're gonna win by 20 points.

I'm putting it there

Ooh, I like it.

Tell us the final score.

It was 96 to 76.

Can it really?

Well done, tip of the hat.

Can that

really be is a rivalry?

Yes.

But when

you don't hate the other team, it's not like Bears Packers,

Clubs

Brewer.

No.

It's like my parents went to Marquette.

They met there.

My brothers and my son went to UW Madison.

I love math.

Like I would cheer for both of those teams.

You know,

there's like a happy rivalry and those are no fun.

I do know some people that, you know, did get really into it.

Yeah.

And they hate the Badgers because they're Marquette fans because they're from Milwaukee or something, you know, and it's like they always want to see Marquette win against them.

But it's like Wisconsin just always plays better those days.

So I feel like the guys do feel it, though, like during those games.

Yeah, I guess.

Who am I?

I still have all four years of eligibility left on both schools.

You're going to play a market?

Yeah, exactly.

Hey, we got some fun.

Sydney Politics on the stream was at the Godfather of Green Bay screening last Thursday night at the Atwood Music Hall.

Again, for all of you that came out and celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Godfather of Green Bay, I was

thrilled to meet some of you.

It was fun to show the movie again, and Sydney shared a photo of he and his girlfriend.

Her name escaped me, but the three of us, looking up at, if somebody took the picture, I think it might have been Zombers, because it looked like it was coming down from like 20 feet, and he's a very tall individual.

So it was fun though.

Thank you very much, Sydney, for sharing the photo.

And he says, remember the Titans.

Easy.

Hands down.

Our pal Terry Barr, watching and or listening on the stream, says, any given Sunday.

Now Conrad, I think we need to remind the people what our question of the night is.

Let's roll it, buddy.

Let's talk about the question.

OK, question.

Question.

Question.

Pregunta.

Question.

Question.

OK, I have a question.

Questions.

This question.

Domanda.

Question.

Question.

Questions.

Oh, what is your favorite football movie?

We are in the throes of football season, approaching the playoffs.

a Bear Packer game yesterday in a rivalry that was discussed in my film, The Godfather of Green Bay, which we showed last Thursday night.

So what is your favorite football film?

I say all the right moves.

And with a close second, remember the Titans, but I might...

Listed like four really good movies all about football.

I

also loved heaven can wait with Warren Beatty and Julie Christie and Charles Groton who is hilarious in it So I added a third we've got some great Responses and Conrad said the longest yard both of them.

Yeah, both versions You know, I didn't find the Bert Reynolds one till later

Cause obviously when I was young, just Adam Sandler, still one of my favorite actors, but that Bert Reynolds one was great too.

Yeah, it was really good.

Rita from the 608 says, no packers, no life is the best.

There we go.

That is another fun packer movie made by our pal Craig.

I'm Craig Benzing.

Craig Benzing.

My God, I'm losing it.

Craig was at the Godfather Green Bay Screening too.

It was great to see him out there.

Thank you, Craig.

And congrats again on making a great movie, as Rita will attest to.

Also, Christine in the 414 says, Invincible from 2006 about Vince Pavley in the Philadelphia Eagles.

Vince, I think, is that a typo or is that the name?

I remember that movie.

I think Mark Wahlberg was my least favorite actor ever played.

A guy who doesn't need to make another movie.

We've seen it all, Mark.

Stop.

But thank you, Christine.

Appreciate that.

Stacey says Wildcats.

Stacey's in the 608.

Yeah, Woody and Goldie.

I think we're in that.

1986.

I remember I was in Chicago.

They filmed that at Lane Tech High School.

And that is worth a rewatch.

I have to go back and check that out.

Tom from Minona in the 608 says the longest yard.

Great choice.

Tom, we've heard a lot of longest yard options tonight.

And then Matt from Middleton in the 608.

Actually, he's in the 512, which makes no sense.

But we'll go with it anyway.

He's just what happened to Netflix showing their movies in the theater thought they considered that a while back I would say death race 2000 or a lead a battle angel as they have sports in them if they count sure they count Matt There's no right or wrong answer and Netflix does show a movie in the theater even though they seem to hate theaters

just to be Oscar eligible.

They're doing some good movies.

They're doing a Stranger Things, right?

The finale episode.

That's

like two and a half hours long.

And this movie Train Dreams, which is on Netflix right now too, which is supposed to be great.

I have to check that out as well.

Okay, so we've got a lot of fun.

Bob Dennis will be here at 635 talking about mob ties to Wisconsin, which should be fun.

And then we've got Bridget Zilke from the Wade House, one of the great Wisconsin historical sites.

She's going to be here to talk about a great event.

They have

coming up.

You're here on a great night, folks.

And turning our attention now, I love when Wisconsin filmmakers join the show.

This next gentleman is, we've never had him on before, but he's got a great movie coming out called Baristas versus Billionaires.

And it's going to be at the Barrymore this week for two nights.

And the filmmaker has agreed graciously to join us here tonight to talk about this.

What sounds like just a phenomenal film, Mr. Glenn Silver.

Hey, Glenn, how are you?

I'm good thanks.

Thanks for having me.

You're welcome.

Thanks for making this work short notice.

It's great to have you here and I love having guests on the show that I've never met but I realize when I do my research that I've seen your work before.

You've had this prolific career making documentaries and TV specials and all kinds of work and I applaud you because your resume is incredible.

You're also a University of Wisconsin grad that's not lost on our audiences here, so congratulations on that.

Barely grad.

I like you even more now.

I was a solid C student, so I can kind of relate to that last statement you made there, Glenn.

So you're a very accomplished documentary, documentarian, but do you have a favorite football movie?

I have to ask you that first.

You know, I did.

I was trying to think of it.

I was desperately trying to think of it.

It was one that's probably from the late 60s or 70s, and I was racking my brain.

And I just can't remember.

It is one where it was based on a biography of a Dallas Cowboy lineman, I think.

And it's a great movie where they are just having a bitter rivalry and at the end they go to win the game and the field goal kicker clunks it off the upright.

And I'll have to get back to you on the title.

I just couldn't remember it.

It's a great film based on a biography of I'm pretty sure a Dallas Cowboy pro.

Are you thinking of North Dallas 40?

Thank you.

Yeah, you're welcome.

That's a great movie.

It was one of the first movies I saw on HBO when I was like in sixth grade or something and I couldn't believe I was watching.

Well, I can't remember much of anything anymore.

So thank you for finding that and resurrecting.

You'll save me some sleep tonight.

Well,

I'm glad.

Happy to help any way I can.

This is really fun.

You're an Oscar nominated, Emmy nominated filmmaker.

Your work is won WGA awards and all kinds of great stuff.

You've got

baristas versus billionaires at the Barrymore this week.

Tell us about this really cool sounding documentary and where you got the idea.

Well, let me start by saying this is the first film in a 50 year career that I was not the director I was called by the director who's a friend of mine named Mark Morai And he'd been working on it for two years and he was really in a bad way because he just couldn't see the movie anymore I had a very long rough cut and he asked me to look at it and one thing led to another and I wound up spending the last eight months working on it with him to get it into shape

And it's really, I mean, we took out 20 minutes of a kind of a long rough cut, added material, rewrote everything.

And I'm pretty good at, you know, doctoring documentaries.

And I signed on to it because after we got rid of the first 12 minutes, you could really see a film starting to emerge with these great young characters.

And the film is really, Barista's versus Billionaire's tells the story of the inside story of the Starbucks workers United Union.

which started four years ago in Buffalo, New York, town the same size as Madison, pretty much.

And it was really just a small, young group of kids who were pissed off at how they were being treated.

It wasn't just about pay.

It was really about, you know, their practices of speeding them up and not having enough staff and not treating them with much respect.

And they formed the very first Starbucks Union store ever in Buffalo, New York.

And they won the elections, and it caught fire.

And within the next couple of years, they were signing up five stores a week, all winning their own elections.

And what's so amazing about it, by the time it started traveling all over the country, there's a quote I love from the store in Memphis, where they went and won an election.

And the organizer there, who's like a 22-year-old young woman's call, says, I would call it a millennial and Gen Z uprising.

for the workplace.

She started out earlier in that quote saying, you know, I didn't think I could get, I didn't think I could be in a union.

I'm like a fast food worker.

And that really says a lot too.

And so these people all over the country now, they had one elections and over 600 stores in the last four years, 12,000 workers who are now

union workers in Starbucks, taking on a massive brand who is not the store we used to think about it 40, 30, 40 years ago.

So when I saw those young people in the rough cut, I was just, I was sold.

I was just charmed by them.

What do you say to people like,

When you have a film like this, there's a sentiment out there I've noticed on social media where there are people that don't think they deserve benefits and they so many people defend billionaires who could easily afford to take care of people.

But do we have a masochistic outlook in our society or something?

Think about that.

We're gonna do a very quick break, Glenn.

And then let's come back and address that question.

Glenn Silver is here.

He is one of the producers of the film, Baristas vs. Billionaires.

It's playing Wednesday and Thursday.

night in Madison at the Barrymore.

It just looks like a fantastic film.

We're going to come back and have a few more minutes with Glenn before we let him go.

Bob Dennis is here at 6.35.

It is great to have you, folks.

This is Nightlight with Pete Schwabba on the Civic Media Radio

Network.

I'm never gonna be

I'm Pete Schwab, and this is Nightlight.

Great to have you with me, folks.

Lots of show still to come.

Bob Dennis, our Northeast Wisconsin mob expert, will be here in just a few minutes.

And then in the seven o'clock hour, we're going to talk a little bit about the Wade House, one of the many great Wisconsin Historical Society

campuses, if you will, with Bridget Zilke.

She'll be here shortly.

Right now, we have a few more minutes with our current guest, the very accomplished documentarian Glenn Silver, who is a Wisconsin native.

Glenn, do you not live in Wisconsin anymore?

No, I live in I was here for 12 years starting in as a student and I then wound up doing some work for the corporate world in terms of making a living for a while.

That was interesting For CBS news and ABC news and now I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Oh, nice.

Very nice.

Wonderful place

You've got, so I was asking you before why people, there is a certain segment of society that apologizes for billionaires and they think other people don't deserve stuff.

Is that a mentality you've come across?

No, that's a new one on me.

I don't know many people that apologize for billionaires and I don't see why you would.

They could be bots.

The whole, we're living in a billionaire economy now.

and the billionaire economy is not interested in their workers, they're interested in their share price.

And I don't have a lot of sympathy for that because I think one of the things that's driving this strike that this union is having now against Starbucks

is the fact that, you know, there was a survey done a couple of years ago, maybe more like a year ago, of the top 500 companies in America.

And they were rating it, the employees were rating it for burnout, exhaustion and depression.

And out of 500 companies, Starbucks was rated in the top five.

Worst for that.

And it's that kind of lack of respect for workers.

Right now, you know, Pete, I think that the working class and low wage workers are under assault.

by that billionaire class you're talking about.

And it's so stupid because for very little money, they could treat their workers so much better.

And there's some kind of a mentality.

I have zero sympathy for billionaires, to be honest with you.

So I'm hoping that if you see the film, you'll see why these workers are now on strike in 85 cities across the country.

And I think you'll see why the mayor elect of New York and Bernie Sanders was on their picket line last week and made a lot of news.

And I think we're really at a turning point where the what's so inspiring to me is seeing these young people.

One of the heroes of the film is 19 years old when she confronts Howard Schultz, who comes into town for a special meeting to try to crush the union.

And she pretty much crushes him.

And it's just amazing to see.

I don't think I would have signed on to the movie if it wasn't.

for the fact that the young people organizers, at least in Buffalo, are really the ones who get it together.

That's great.

Wow.

You've done some great stuff, Glenn.

The War at Home, the Matthew Shepard story.

You also were either one of the creators or contributors to this show.

I remember back from the late 80s called West 57.

I think Bob Surratt was the host.

How is journalism or news magazines like that?

How has that changed?

Well, that was the luckiest break in my life.

You know, I just had my first, uh, child and I had a break when I was back in New York showing him off and someone offered me to come and interview for West 57th.

It was pitched on CBS News as a hip 60 minutes.

Yeah.

And Bob Serratt, who was from Chicago, was kind of a DJ, but we also had Meredith Vieira later on, Steve Croft joined.

And boy, I really didn't know how good I had it because I'd hear had been a radical filmmaker up to that point.

like 15 years and I was barely making my rent and all of a sudden someone said well do you want to go interview at CBS for this new show now you got to imagine Pete I hadn't had a TV since I left home as a teenager and I thought the bubble over my head is what am I going to do with CBS like the windows and it turned out I was really good at that and I rode that wave for 20 years in between my documentary careers and

I'm amazed you actually mentioned that show because it was, I won an Emmy, my first Emmy for the show was the first Emmy for a show when I was, and I was also the only one living in Los Angeles, which was such an advantage.

Everyone else was back at the mothership in New York.

I did this piece on children of the homeless called Homeless in America, Suffer the Children.

It was like a four hanky piece and it just rocked the world at that moment to show the changing nature of

you know, being homeless in America.

Wow.

I

was really proud to be on that show.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're also Oscar nominated.

You've got a host of awards and did some great work for PBS 60 Minutes 2020.

Just a phenomenal career.

I would love for you to come back sometime, Glenn, and discuss more in detail some of the cool things you've done.

But I really appreciate your time tonight.

And for those of you listening in the Madison area, check out Baristas versus Billionaires this Wednesday and Thursday night at the Barrymore.

Uh, in Madison, it sounds like a great time.

And I hope you have a great turnout.

Well, thank you.

And I can just promise if you come to the show, it may be cold outside, but you'll, you'll leave inspired and feeling really warm inside.

It's that kind of movie.

Conrad, does that sound familiar?

I just did.

But Glenn, we

had a screen.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

We had a

screening of a

film I did last Thursday, and I think I said the same thing on social media.

The Atwood Music Hall will be warm with laughter, but it's freezing outside, so I hope you get

that.

That's where I found that line.

Anyway, I just want to mention also we're going to have a panel discussion afterwards on stage with several of the baristas who are on strike right now, and I'll be happy to be part of that.
