Welcome to Nightlight.

The Christmas state, as I like to call it.

It is great to have you here.

We've got a fun show tonight.

Lots going on.

I'm going to introduce you to a young middle school aged judo champ.

That is going to be really fun.

I'm excited to have my first guest on Ileon Hoskins.

He joins us at 535 over the stream.

He just competed at the Pan Am Games in...

Man was it Venezuela.

I don't remember but we'll have him on and we'll talk to him.

He did very well I'll have him tell you how he did and just talk have a general discussion with this kid who's just kind of a Wonder kid it's gonna be fun And then we've got bear packer talk in hour number two with the guys from make the call gray and Parker and Conrad and also Dom Lee will join Dom is the producer of John and Gordy on WMDX

and the network here, and we'll talk Bear Packers, Bears Packers, and Dom is gonna be on my side for that, because I'm a Bears fan, Dom's a Bears fan, and we'll be outnumbered, but it'll be a fun discussion.

That's at 635.

And then in hour number three, ladies and gentlemen, it is Friday, as I mentioned, and that means it's time for Terry Bar, it's Terry Bar time.

It's Barman Friday night.

That's coming up in hour number three.

One of my favorite nights of the week.

Definitely top five.

My kid, Terry's awesome.

And it's a fantastic segment that she brings every week with great music and fun conversation.

And I'm glad you're here because we got a great question.

We are going to answer the age old.

You know what, Con, let's get to the question right away tonight so people have time to respond and we can catch up on some text from last night as well too.

This is the nightlight question of the night.

Let's

talk about the

question.

Okay, question.

Question.

Question.

Pregunta.

Question.

Question.

Okay, I have a question.

Questions.

This question.

Domanda.

Question.

Question.

Questions.

Very simple question.

Eggnog.

Yes or no.

It's just that simple.

Tell us how you feel about eggnog.

You could do more than yes or no.

You could elaborate a little bit why you love eggnog or dislike eggnog.

Have fun with it.

8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2-8-5-5-7-5-CIVIC.

If you want to go the text line route, you can also text us on the app or the stream if you're watching Nightlight on YouTube, X, or Facebook.

If it's not too much trouble, leave us a like or follow us there.

Always fun to see who's following.

And folks, this is like, I admit, I was wrong.

I thought Conrad...

Did not like eggnog, but you're a huge fan

All right, so listen I've gotten that wrong listen this to this all right.

Yeah, I wanted to be like Clark Griswold all right when I was younger all right I wanted to drink that eggnog in that mousse glass

warp it

Have it in the huge punch bowl and just have it in it, you know over there on the table Okay, I do really like eggnog I you know, it's it's funny that some people just don't like to taste

But I just, it does kind of taste like a dessert drink to me.

Yeah, I agree with you

there.

And I enjoy it.

Obviously only during this time of year.

I don't drink it during summer, you know, it'll just be weird.

After like a workout, slam some eggnog.

You'd have to probably stock up at the holidays anyway.

I mean, they don't even sell it year round,

do they?

You know, there's so many different like protein, you know, flavors.

Yeah.

It'd be hilarious if they actually had an eggnog, like protein flavor.

And people actually like people would probably I'm gonna get that in July.

Absolutely.

I think they would that sounds like a like a crime

Exactly, so last night's question folks was who is your favorite?

Christmas movie character and I neglected to read some of our social media responses So I'm gonna jam through those because I don't like to let responses go unnoticed or unappreciated So the responses to last night's question who is your favorite Christmas character from a movie Sean on?

These are all social media responses.

He says, old Sam Heehaw Wainwright from It's a Wonderful Life.

Great one, Sean.

Yeah, he's the guy that always said Heehaw.

Have

you seen the movie?

Yes, I haven't seen it in a while, though.

And a lot of people said Mary Bailey, but they were all on social media.

Jenny Brand from Civic Media says, Mary Bailey, It's a Wonderful Life.

She's a true hero.

No question about that, Jenny.

Mike Corwin.

Clark Griswold.

Mike joins me.

I

think Mike and I are the only two that show did anybody else choose Clark Griswold last

night I think there might have been one on the tax line, but I don't think there is that many.

Okay, Nick Wallander Ellen Griswold.

I mean, she's great to love Ellen Griswold I love when she's smoking a cigarette, you know in the kitchen and her mom was are you smoking again?

No

She was I love Beverly Daniels.

I'm totally with Nick there Erica Larson shared a funny meme of the Muppets

In their Christmas special, great choice.

Derek Fister, what's his name?

Hans.

Is it Hans from Die Hard?

I actually...

I don't remember anything by heart.

I haven't seen it in so

long.

It's a Jeremy, I can't think of his name, but he passed away not too long ago.

I'm totally blanking.

Another vote, Brett Kissinger.

Our pal says, Clark Griswold, great one.

Conrad, oh, you said the sticky bandits.

That's from Home Alone 2.

Danny Wheels says, Hermie, the misfit dentist.

Love that.

Thank you, Dan.

Janet on social media agrees with Daniel.

Lisa Hale, our pal, Lisa.

Who covers news here at WGBW and WIS?

That says, Ma Otter and Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas.

I don't know that

one.

I've never seen

that.

Yeah.

But I'm not surprised Lisa found something that

was

not on the beaten path.

Janet from social media says, first thing I thought of was Hermie the dentist from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.

Maybe it's the hair.

He's got good hair.

He's got the Trump wave going there.

It's crazy hair.

Janet also says, I realized I didn't read the instructions that said movie.

That's okay, Janet.

We accept that.

She says, in that case, it would be Darren McAvon and a Christmas story.

We were talking about that last night, how we thought Christmas story didn't get a lot of votes for the dad or the kid.

It got a few.

And our pal, Eric Rathsak from Ask Your Mother says, top three, Buddy the Elf, cousin Eddie, Frank Cross, Bill Murray from Scrooge.

Awesome stuff.

But tonight's question, folks.

Eggnog yes or no feel free to elaborate to I Saw this I didn't really understand how popular eggnog was state-to-state or the discrepancy there could be Take do you know what state it's the most popular in?

What state?

Vermont no, I'm sorry New Hampshire.

Okay.

I knew it was one of those small states Not Rhode Island.

It's what it's one of those small states where when they were making the map they thought

We don't know how far this goes, then they realized how big the country was.

They just make the whole damn thing to the state.

Yeah, no, it's not Rhode Island, but it's close, New Hampshire.

Nearby Vermont is second, followed by Alaska, Maine, Oregon, Wyoming, Utah, Washington State, Wisconsin's ninth.

We made the top 10.

I need to drink more eggnog.

Yeah.

You could maybe boost us up to like number seven or something.

New Mexico is 10th.

So there you go.

I guess I'm not.

I figure like the cold weather states would be the most popular eggnog states, but the bottom states are New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois, all cold weather states.

That's where eggnog is least popular in California, Texas, Oklahoma.

Other surges.

During the holidays in particular foods ready for this kind I'm ready.

You still

here.

Okay rich red meats Okay, like rib eye roasts

prime rib tenderloin

roast that does not surprise me at all fruit cake Got no

use

for fruit cake Keep the fruit out of the

cake.

Yeah, they're both fine products.

Don't mix them Gingerbread cookies.

Oh love gingerbread cookies same and ant acids for the aftermath

I was surprised there, but they said that the state that supposedly in Alaska's on that list, Maine, Hawaii is not.

Hawaii does not like eggnog.

Okay.

Fair enough.

All right.

I want you to tell the story.

These funny news stories we have.

Tell us, Con, about the guy who ripped off very expensive jewelry.

And what did he do not to get caught?

All right.

Okay, I actually don't got the full story in front of me.

Do you get it?

He swallowed jewels and the cops are

waiting for him to pass the the the jewels and they're not uh They're not kidney stones.

They might be different kind of stones, but anyway, they're following this guy around Waiting for him because that's the evidence.

Well.

Yeah, they took him in a custody Yeah, and now they're just watching him

now.

They're waiting for the custody

That

was well

It was terrible.

Here's another one I love.

Conrad found this one on Christmas Eve in 2019.

It was reported that David Wayne Oliver robbed a Colorado bank only to throw all of the stolen cash in the air while exclaiming Merry Christmas.

He's

trying to be like Santa.

He's trying to be like a big shot.

And kind of Robin Hood asked to those who happen to be passing by the opportune moment, the 65, 65, robbing a bank just to

do that.

That's insanity.

I'm just confused.

I wish there was more that I It was a it happened in 2019, so I didn't get too much of this

breaking

news But I really how did he even rob the bank in the first place?

Yeah, I want to know and did he go?

Give me all the money and give it to other people 65 I

just retired give me all your money I'm on my pension.

I don't need it.

I'm giving it to others

He was arrested

Don't arrest me no arrest the people that took the money from me.

They're robbing him.

Yeah, they arrested him at a nearby Starbucks Where I'm guessing he blew all the money on a large coffee.

I was gonna say on that bear mug that they sold

insanity Crazy,

where did you find that?

I just typed in weird Christmas stories.

Okay Here's kind of a bummer of a Christmas story You're ready for this Seinfeld on Christmas Day in 1997 that's when he told the cast and crew

The show was over.

They were gonna, I believe it, finished in spring of 98.

So on Christmas Day in 1997, Jerry Seinfeld took it upon himself to say, the show's over.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Imagine he put it in like everyone's gift.

It's like, all right, here's a saw book, but look at the note on the back.

You're done.

You're going for like a Joe DiMaggio hitting streak with the sawbuck.

Trying to mention sawbuck every night.

I think you should keep it going.

Whenever I can mention it, it'll be mentioned.

I don't know if I believe this story 100% though.

He's, uh, Seinfeld said, I wanted to end the show on the same kind of peak we've been doing it on for years.

Um, he says I wanted to be, uh, from a point of strength.

I wanted to end and be graceful.

Okay.

So he told people on Christmas day, but I don't know if I believe that.

First of all, what did he do?

Send an email?

Like, nobody's working on Christmas Day.

What if he made everyone go in to do a shoot?

Call them in to work and then just hold them.

Merry Christmas,

everybody.

You're done.

All right, I'm just kidding, guys.

No one's acting today.

Just list.

You know, you're all done.

Update your resumes, suckers.

Get those LinkedIn profiles going.

Yeah, I don't know.

That's crazy.

I like Seinfeld.

He's a brilliant observationalist because that's the basis of all of his comedy, was observational comedy.

But as he gets older, he's kind of crabby, and I don't... They might still be brilliant, but I just don't like him.

I don't think he's as fun to listen to as he used to be.

Just old and crabby.

But whatever.

All right, so Eggnog, yes or no, that is tonight's question of the night.

And we're going to do a very short break here, folks.

News and weather and sports is coming up at 5.35, and then we will talk to young Judo champ Ileon Hoskins.

We'll be here.

on Night Light Tonight for the first time.

Very excited to talk to this young man.

And after this break, I'm going to tell you the top five pizza days of the year.

That's all coming up.

So you need to know when to order pizza, folks, and when to be

cool.

When to get that sawbuck

out.

Yeah.

Dude, you've already got

the

sawbuck criterion.

We're coming right back as Night Light with Peach Waba on the Civic Media Radio Network.

You're listening to Civic Media.

It's just about seven minutes away, folks.

We will keep you updated here.

I am Peachwaba.

This is Nightlight Conrad Krieger, producing the show tonight, working the board.

Here's the- this is what.

Social media.

It's just awesome sometimes.

Because where else?

Like, I never- this guy posted something about Waffle House.

I never would have found this.

If we were still in the world of newspapers or radio, pure, just straight-up radio, but social media, this story I found, this is Ken, a guy from the UK, says, as a 51-year-old British man who had never visited the States, I was especially excited to visit the Waffle House upon everything I had heard over the years.

For most of the night, I was slightly disappointed and underwhelmed.

It was just me quietly enjoying my hash browns and coffee while everything seemed normal.

Then out of nowhere, I heard a woman scream, I don't know if I can say this word, biatch, stop emailing my man and suddenly two large women were locked in a full on brawl right by the counter.

One of them cracked the other over the head with a napkin holder and just like that, it was over.

The staff barely batted an eye.

as I was recovering from the shock, my waitress leaned over and said, another Tuesday night at the Waffle House.

And then he gives it five stars.

Wow.

Oh my gosh.

I spent a few nights in Waffle

Houses.

You know, I gotta say, with reviews, it's kind of funny sometimes.

People just totally make up stories and stuff.

Yeah.

That had nothing to do with the food.

It's just funny.

That's like...

Is this true or not?

Do I go to this store or not?

Right.

On the off chance, it's real.

I'll stay away.

Yeah, I don't know.

It could be making it up.

Either way, it was funny to read that.

Of

course.

Just to watch two girls square off in a waffle house while this fine gent is eating at the counter.

What do you think Conrad, the top five pizza days in 2025 were?

This

is from the Vegas

Insider.

The top five, I'd say definitely one.

July 4th.

Okay.

Then Memorial Day.

Hmm.

Okay.

Valentine's Day.

Hmm.

Big

Spender.

July 30th.

Bingo.

That's your top four.

Uh, and then let's see.

The last one, I'd say... Thanksgiving Eve.

Interesting.

Or...

Christmas

Eve.

Or the day after.

Here's what they are, the top five pizza days according to Vegas Insider.

One, New Year's Day.

Oh, day, I was off.

That kind of surprised me.

Two, Super Bowl Sunday.

Oh,

how did I not think of

it?

I know, I thought that would be number one.

I mean, New Year's Day, I guess I could see that,

but.

Super Bowl Sunday with pizza has to be, those stores have to be making.

Definitely, but I think a

lot of people make their own food too, they do something fun.

Number three, you were close with Valentine's Day, February 15th, the day after.

Okay, it's probably frozen pizza, too, because people went out and spent a boatload.

Hey, I was thinking the same thing.

Right.

March 15th, right before March Madness.

That's a good one.

Yeah, the NCAA tournament and started yet, but a bunch of conference championships were going on.

That was in 2025, on March 29th during the Elite Eight.

So all sporting events, basically, except New Year's Day

or the day after.

Not July 30th?

Not July 30th.

Didn't even make the top 365.

And I don't even know how that's possible.

So there you go.

Be careful.

And then they also looked at which states googled pizza the most this year.

The top five.

Delaware, Pennsylvania, Michigan, South Carolina, and Ohio, Montana ranked last.

OK.

Because they're going out and slaughtering a cow and

cooking that

up.

All right, so you got a big show tomorrow night or tomorrow morning with the

call Yeah, make the call, you know, obviously we we're talking bears backers, you know, but a big thing coming up is the college playoffs Yeah, now I want to ask you one of the questions that we had.

Are you excited for any matchups?

You know

I Honestly kind of fell off this year with the only thing that keeps me into college football or the Badgers really.

Yeah, maybe if like

There was a you know what I take that back.

I'm excited about Indiana Mm-hmm a new team that that I thought that's where I thought Wisconsin would be After they hired Luke Vickles, so I'm bummed the Badgers didn't do anything this year But yeah, that's a Cinderella story so to speak I like Indiana.

Yeah, I mean I said this all right I'm not really excited about the college playoffs because I know you know It's gonna be the same as last year all the teams that made it in from those

kind of bad conferences.

They're gonna lose.

It's gonna be the big guys against each other again.

The thing I'm excited for is one of the bowl games.

What is it?

If you look on the stream here, the Pop-Tarts Bowl.

I can't

even... There's like two...

They have custom helmets, okay, and the stripe.

You know the frosting on a strawberry Pop-Tart?

Yeah.

And the sprinkles?

Yeah.

That is the stripe down the middle.

Okay.

Is it Boise State?

No, these are just example helmets.

The teams, I believe, were just released today.

I didn't get pictures of the actual helmets, but I thought that's so cool that they actually have custom jerseys and helmets for the Pop-Tarts game.

And as Jimmy Cusco said, this is the only game that they sacrifice a mascot because they put the Pop-Tart in the fake toaster.

Let me ask you this.

Is there an actual

game you're excited about I

mean, I'm just excited to see that I mean how cool is that?

Yeah, it's kind of cool.

Um popped hearts bowl There's a there's a bowl whatever brand can you know offer the most money like Duke's man.

I get it But

yeah, but it's just like I wish it was still called like the fiesta bowl

or their

cotton ball I know they add those words in with

the

sponsor, but like quick and loans arena.

Oh, that's exciting

Let's go watch a contest at the Quicken Loans Arena.

Alright, so I'm just saying this.

Watch the Pop Tarts Bowl this year.

You'll be thrilled.

You'll be entertained and you'll love that you watched it.

I doubt that.

Go Hoosiers.

That's what I say, though.

Yes.

Is Ohio State still undefeated?

No, they lost to Indiana.

They

lost to

Indiana.

That's right.

So who's the number one seed?

Indiana.

Overall,

that is

unbelievable.

All right, folks, news, sports, weather.

It's all coming up next.

And then we've got a young judo champ.

Iliana Hoskins, a fine young man, joins the show tonight.

It's Night Light with Pete Schwabba.

I'm the Civic Media Radio Network.

Guava, this is Night Light on a beautiful Friday night in the state of Wisconsin.

We are broadcasting statewide from beautiful downtown Green Bay tonight.

Hope you're having a great day.

It is great to have you here tonight, folks.

Let us know.

Our question of the night is very simple.

Eggnog, yes or no?

I am a serious no.

In fact, I think I put my response down as no with about 17 O's and then a P.E.

So I said, nope.

Conrad is a fan.

But let us know what you think at 855-752-4842-855-75 Civic.

You can also text us on the app.

Or if you're watching the radio on the stream at YouTube, X, or Facebook, you can drop us a stream comment.

That would work just swimmingly as well.

Right now, I'm very excited to welcome my next guest.

This guy is maybe one of my youngest guests ever.

Probably.

He's definitely probably top five, Con.

Top

10 maybe?

Yeah, I

think so.

He's a middle schooler in Madison at Ray Senate Middle School, and he is an absolute beast when it comes to the sport of judo, a fine sport.

He has racked up trophies and awards since he's been four years old.

Mr. Ilian Hoskins joins me now on Nightlight.

Hi, Ilian, how are you?

Good and you?

I'm doing very well.

I'm kind of glad you're joining the show over the stream because if I got you mad at me and you were here in person, I fear for myself what you might be able to do to me.

You don't seem the type.

You seem like a very nice kid, Ilya, and it's great to have you here.

Let me ask you first before we start.

How do you feel about Eggnog?

I don't think I like

him.

You see Conrad, he's on my side.

He's a good kid.

It's great to have you here, Ilian.

Listen, let's talk about your passion.

Judo, you got a lot of publicity here in Wisconsin and other places for competing in the Pan Am Games earlier this month.

Tell us how that went.

They were really good.

I'm proud of myself for placing there because all the hard work, I got dirt.

Nice.

So that's like a bronze medal, right?

Yep.

Oh, good for you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

How did you feel?

Did you like on the plane ride home or you like

just?

I was happy.

Yeah.

That's excellent.

Well, congratulations.

You also won the national championship in June of this year.

Now that, I mean,

How do you feel after these victories, Ilian?

Does that just make you keep wanting to go on further or are you excited and can't wait to get to the next competition?

What's that like winning something like on a scale like that?

It's like when I win it, I want to keep trading so I can win the other championships and get better and fight new people.

Yeah, that makes sense.

And I read somewhere that you are hoping

to go to the Olympics one day in the sport of Judo.

Talk about that a little bit.

I want to become the first male to win gold at the Olympics in Judo.

So no one from the U.S.

has ever won a gold medal in Judo at the Olympics, is that right?

Only woman.

So how old do you have to be, Ilyan, before you can qualify for the Olympics?

18.

Okay.

And how old are you

now?

You're like 12.

You're 12.

Wow.

That's impressive.

So you can, you got a lot of time to practice.

That's, that's good before you have to do Olympic trials.

That's, that's exciting.

Um, so, okay.

So your rank, in terms of your junior ranking, Ilian held the nation's top junior ranking in 2022 and you made the USA.

Judo 13 15 Pan American Championship team in June you placed you placed third you said How do you feel like what is that like when you have to go back to school like middle school is a tough age Right like and you come back to school is this judo champ.

What are your classmates like when you get back?

Are they excited for you or are they a little jealous?

Yeah,

how is that?

They're like excited.

Yeah Did they have a little reception for you at the school?

Like a little party so to speak.

They did.

Yeah.

What was that like?

It was cool.

I

liked it.

Okay.

So what is it?

Listen, I've never been any kind of great athlete, Ilyan, so I'm trying to live vicariously through you.

So what is it like to be ranked number one in the world as a junior athlete?

What is that?

I would feel like I'd be so excited.

It'd be hard for me to go to sleep at night.

I feel extremely proud of myself.

When I started competing in my freshman championship, it was my goal to do that.

Yeah.

Wow.

Great.

All right.

I've read articles about you and I've heard school administrators or teachers talk about you and refer to you as a role model.

Do you consider yourself a role model or a leader to other kids?

I think so, yes.

Yeah.

How do you try to do that?

Like obviously you, you, anyone who practices martial arts, it's a discipline and it's an art.

Um, do you lead by example or do you try to, uh, give other kids pep talks?

Like, are you a good friend that way?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like how to help them be more respectful of things.

Yeah.

Is your school, are the kids pretty respectful for the most part at your school?

Yeah.

That's good.

Are you a good student?

I am.

Yeah?

That's good.

Let me ask you this.

Has being a good student made you better at Judo or has Judo made you a better student in school?

Did the two compliment each other?

I

think being good at Judo has helped me in school because it teaches me discipline, focus.

and not giving up when things are hard.

But these skills can help me pay attention and study better in school.

Being a good student has also helped me in school in Judo because school teaches me how to listen, follow directions, and be more respectful.

Yeah, that's

great.

And they both let me do my best.

That's excellent.

What's your favorite class in school?

Like social studies or

math.

OK.

My guest is Ileon Hoskins.

He is just an absolute all-star when it comes to Judo.

He's won awards and tournaments and he's been ranked number one nationally.

And this has all happened in the last eight years.

He's been practicing Judo since he's been four years old, which I find really just fantastic.

Do you think he'll always practice the sport, Ileon?

Yeah.

Is it the kind of sport you can do like martial arts are different?

Some of them involve more kicking some of them are more holds or throws like judo What what is a martial art or maybe it is judo that you could do as you get older like when you're even maybe 60 or something Can you do judo judo at that age?

Yeah, I could be like a coach like a teacher.

Yeah, well, that's great

What is your goal?

Obviously, let's say let's say you go to the Olympics and you win a gold medal what then?

Open

up your own judo school, maybe

Yeah,

yeah That'd be pretty

cool.

Yeah

What's next for you?

What's your next big competition, Ilian

and March?

And what is that?

What is that tournament?

The youth nationals.

Okay.

How do you feel?

You feel good about your chances?

Yeah.

Yeah.

If you were here in person, I would love it if you could teach Conrad a lesson, the producer, because he gets really mouthy sometimes.

You think you could do that?

Yeah.

So let's talk about this, Ilya.

And your older sister, Yoana, is also

pretty accomplished in martial arts.

Tell us about her and how that is being in the same house with another really accomplished martial artist.

It's cool because when I was younger I always used to watch my sister compete and that made me want to compete

too.

She practices karate and kickboxing.

Do the two of you, they're different art forms, did the two of you ever just kind of spar goofing around or how does that work?

Do you make each other better

at your

martial art?

Yeah, we do.

Who usually wins?

Spar.

For now anyway, right?

Yeah.

So, all right, so how often, Ilyan, like at your age, you've got middle school.

You've got all these classes, school's hard work, but what you do in Judo, it takes a lot of dedication too.

How often do you train and for how long typically?

I train three times a week and I train for an hour and 30 minutes.

Okay.

Well, that's not too bad.

And do you, when you around the house to your parents, even though you've won all these great competitions, do they still make you do work around the house?

Yeah, they make me clean up around the house back in the floor clean my room.

How do you feel about that alien?

It's sometimes like Like don't want to do it, but I like it when it looks better.

That's great What kind of music do you listen to do you ever listen to music when you train to get yourself pumped up?

Yeah, I like rapping pop

who are your favorite artists?

I have a lot.

Like, one of them is like Biggie.

Who is it?

Biggie.

Do you know who that is, Con?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, Biggie Smalls?

Yep.

Oh,

The OG.

Oh, OK.

I thought there was like... I'm not on first name basis with them like Ilian is.

I'm not pals with them anymore, but... Well, that's cool.

So, and what about TV, Ilian?

What kind of TV do you like to watch?

Like or do you even have time to watch?

Yeah, go ahead.

Sorry.

I like to watch like sports or like anime

Yeah, what's your favorite sport outside of judo?

Soccer.

Oh nice.

Do you play soccer?

I do

you have time to play soccer in addition to all the judo.

That's pretty impressive

That's very cool.

All right.

So what I typically ask most of my guests, Ileana, I talk about movies and TV here a lot.

So are you watching anything that you could recommend to people like a great show or anime or something like that or a movie you saw?

Or

do you have a favorite Christmas movie?

That works too.

And if you don't watch movies, that's okay.

We could go back to Judo.

That's totally fine.

Uh... Like, I like the Grinch.

Oh, the Grinch.

That's a great one.

Okay?

Yeah.

Well, hey, you're a great kid.

Keep up the great work and I appreciate you.

I know how busy you are.

I appreciate you taking time out to come on the show and talk to us a little bit about, I love martial arts.

So keep being a role model, keep being a great kid and a good student and listening to your folks and get to the Olympics so I can say that I met you and that you're my best friend, okay?

OK.

All right.

That's Ilya and Hoskins took third in the Pan Am Games.

That's unbelievable.

You know, I didn't even qualify for the Pan Am Games.

I didn't even know you tried.

Well, I tried.

I tried in the 13 to 15 division thinking I would.

Did they take you out of there?

Exactly.

That's Ilyan Hoskins.

We are going to do a very short break here, folks.

And then we've got, I'm going to tell you, this is kind of funny.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to this Friday night edition of Nightlight.

It is great to have you here.

I hope, if you're in the car, I hope you're driving safely.

The roads are good.

Boy, we got snow last night, Conn.

That wasn't even forecasted.

Yeah, okay, so I woke up.

Ninth

time I had to wipe off my car, by the way, so

far.

You're up there now.

It's horrible.

You know, in a week, I won't have a garage anymore, so I'll be doing, joining you.

Ooh, that's a tough, you know what's weird?

In my house, the house that we bought several, many years ago, the garage is like six feet.

From the house.

Mm-hmm.

What are you doing?

Just connect the damn garage at that point what on earth like I don't know why anybody living in northern Wisconsin wouldn't have an attached garage Obviously it didn't stop us from buying the house But my god, you're it's I could spit on my garage from my back door And I've done it many times because I'm a bear's man.

No, but it's uh, I don't know why you just wouldn't connect the garage But

yeah, it's gonna

be a big thing for you because

it's a difference, but also

It's right across the bridge there Right, so I don't really have to drive to work anymore after that.

That's nice, too Do I want to wipe my car off or walk to work?

And you know, so you're talking about the roads.

It's kind of slippery out, you know with with With the the rain that we had and then it kind of got colder Yeah, I was walking, you know through the usual little walkway that we like through the grass there.

Yeah

It's like all ice and I didn't realize that

but you wipe out.

I almost did

That was so close.

I almost did that

last year.

Right by Shriver here

in downtown Green Bay.

Yeah, right in front of it.

There's a

little path you can cut across the grass.

And usually by the time I get here, I think everybody leaves that building at like 3 p.m.

Yeah.

So

they're never there

when I'm walking.

But I think it was last winter, same deal.

I almost did a header and there were people around a conference table and they all looked at me and I could tell they were kind of like trying not to laugh or like maybe thought they might have to call paramedics or something.

You know, so, all right.

So this is my white boat story here, right?

Yeah.

Last year I was, my friend invited me to like this work function yet at the Northland.

He's like, yeah, you can come and we're just, oh, there's like a work party there.

So I went with them.

And then after we were going out to some of the bars down here and it was slippery out, it was, it just rained and it's, you know, kind of froze over and we get outside and I pretend like I'm going to slip, you know, like to my friend, I'm like, oh, oh, and I actually fall.

He's laughing from what like literally like a five-minute walk of laughing so hard

the jokes on you.

Yep.

Nice

try Our question of the night folks is eggnog.

Yes or no Dave on the stream says no very simple no punctuation

Known nothing just a flat out no Dale from Waukesha in the 262 says, I'm a 74 year old man.

I haven't had eggnog for many years, but I always enjoyed it.

Pasturized milk, eggs, nutmeg, very safe, always delicious.

Well, it sounds like he could be on the eggnog council or something.

Our pal John Murray in the 608 says, love some eggnog during the Christmas season and Baileys and Kalua for coffee drinks.

Only get these three beverages once a year, all good for celebrating the holidays.

That's

great.

I know and I'm strongly in the no category here, but Is Bailey's Irish cream that much worse than egg?

It's it's the idea of the egg that freaks me out Honestly,

yeah, I mean I can see where you're coming from where but I I Look past it.

I'm just like this tastes good.

So

yeah,

but I mean Bailey's and Kahlua and coffee drinks is phenomenal.

This is so good It is good.

Um, we had I thought I found this story I can't remember where I think it was just like Shepherd Express or whatever but a raccoon

fell through the roof at an eatery

in Lake

Geneva and bit someone.

It got me thinking, is there an animal?

Any animal that falls on your plate of food is not good, but is there an animal that you would not freak out if it fell on your plate of food?

An animal that I wouldn't freak out?

Yeah.

Dolphins are nice.

Why would that fall from the...

Why would it you know if a raccoon falls through the roof that

that's

more

establishment because it can walk on land, you know, yeah, but still don't fall through the roof I'm trying to think that one of those animals that really prides himself on being clean probably I don't know offhand.

I mean dogs mouth Yeah, that's what I want my

what

I want my

dish to smell like

That's like, uh, the rich Jenny joke.

Oh, the dog's mouth is cleaner than humans.

But he licks his... blank.

And he kept going with that.

That was the punchline

already.

Yeah.

But

he,

how can that, he licks his... You know, maybe, uh, like a kangaroo would be cool though.

It just came down and started boxing you.

While

you're trying to eat your lamb chops?

Yeah, that'd be kinda cool.

Teresa in the 608 says New Year's Day has bowl games.
