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 never leaves the house without wearing a cup, Pete Chwaba.

Welcome to Night Light, ladies and gentlemen.

Hey great to have you and happy Monday everybody or should I say it's finally Monday.

So glad to be back on the air with so much to discuss after an incredible weekend.

So much going on with the holidays.

We have got a lot to get to so thank God we have three hours to do it and it is great to have you here.

Phone lines are always open, folks.

Be part of the show 855-752-4842, 855-75 Civic.

Let me know what's on your mind throughout the course of the show and participate.

Conrad Krieger is here tonight as per usual.

I don't understand why people always say that as per usual.

Per usual?

I am here.

But you could just say as usual.

As usual.

Yeah, without throwing it in that extra word.

Anyway, how are you, Conrad?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Yeah.

We've got, you just brought something up, right?

And it will definitely talk Packer bear stuff because I know that's probably still on people's mind.

It was an unbelievable game.

It did not end well for Packer fans, obviously, and the Packers are pretty banged up, but we're going to talk about all of that with Conrad, one of the hosts of Make the Call here on Civic Media and with Mike Clemens at 535.

But right now, Con, I want to ask you,

We were literally leaving the studio last Friday.

And did we ever talk about Jake Paul on the air or

was that

off the air?

No, we talked about it.

And I said, you know, I think he's going to lose one here soon.

So he can, you know, I said he

needs to.

You said, I think he's going like you actually predicted it.

I didn't.

Yeah, I thought he was going to lose one of them upcoming fights, whatever he was going to have so that he could be like, no, it's not rigged.

It's not rigged.

OK, well, me at Culpa, I thought.

It's not rigged unless he's crazy enough to tell this huge guy To break his jaw in two places.

That is insane.

He definitely lost and You know, maybe he wanted to have some plastic surgery anyway And he's like this would be a good time to get my face beat in that was insane.

I think this guy who he fought Wasn't he doesn't care about the money He wants to show people that he's a good boxer and he yeah

I

mean

when did that happen in the fight?

Like did you watch the actual fight?

I just saw highlights.

So I thought it was at like midnight Yeah, it was at like 10 or something.

So I totally missed it But I saw you know replays and stuff and I just saw the smile on His face when he was about to throw a massive haymaker

Yeah, he's kind of kind of taunting the guy a little bit

Jake Paul.

Yeah, and I'm talking about the other guy too.

He was smiling when he was about to punch him

Oh, really?

Okay, cuz I saw Jake Paul get

clocked pretty good and

then

he kind of stuck his

tongue out or

some kind of crazy thing.

You know, he's on his butt with a broken jaw in two places in two places.

That really like a broken jaw freaks me out.

I think you have to have it wired shut.

You can't eat.

Maybe he's looking for a way to keep the weight off.

I don't know.

I'm just

saying.

He did say he has to eat.

He already went through the surgery and he can't have solids for like a week.

Just a

week.

That's, I think that's what he said.

Maybe six weeks.

He said that.

That doesn't

sound that bad.

So lots to get to tonight, folks.

We had a fun show.

A lot of great guests tonight, too.

As I mentioned, Mike Clemens will be here at 535, breaking down the Packer Bear game, which was just insane the other night.

And then at 610, my pal, Paul Gannis, Paul's a really good actor.

He will be here at 610 telling a great story about Rob Reiner.

He was on the film.

with Rob, a film set with Rob Reiner and Kevin Costner.

And Paul has a great story about actually both of them, but really more Rob Reiner.

So we'll talk to Paul about that.

I'm gonna ask him to tell that story.

I think Jennifer Aniston was in the film too.

Totally slipping my mind at the moment.

But anyway, Paul will be here at 610.

We'll talk to Paul.

He also has a new project coming out at 635 tonight.

Johnny Beiner.

Madison's own, one of Madison's favorite sons, even though he is a transplant.

He has embraced Madison.

It is now his hometown.

Very funny comic.

And I know you know this, Conrad.

He was the last new stand-up comedian on the late show with David Letterman.

Before David Letterman retired, Johnny was the last guy they booked who had never done the show before.

And he crushed it.

So he's got some new stuff coming out involving a really cool thing with Nate Bargazzi.

And we'll tell you where you can see Johnny over the holidays.

And then at 7.20, we've got, this is going to be really fun.

Are you ready for this con?

You know, I like to talk a little mob stuff once in

a while.

Oh yeah, definitely.

Yeah.

And we've got the two hosts of the Milwaukee Mafia podcast.

They're going to be here.

It's gonna be a lot of fun.

I can't wait to have these guys on the show Eric and Steve will be here and we're gonna discuss Milwaukee mob ties to Hollywood that kind of stuff but focusing on the mob in Wisconsin because there's a lot of Chicago in New York talk when it comes to the mob and all that but we'll focus on that Milwaukee tonight and some some really cool stuff So they'll be here in studio and I hope they're actually not with the mob because that would be one heck of a mob hit Do you think anybody has put a price on us yet?

I don't think so

We keep

a light hearted

here.

It's pretty good.

I don't think pretty

good guys for the most part.

I think I can do my own or,

you know, there you go.

This has got me thinking about something.

Maybe Jake Paul a 1v2 us against him.

What do you think Scott?

Do you think we're going to

win?

Yeah, I think we would.

I think two grown men who are in reasonable shape could take one.

And now, you know, you just got to go low and hit them fast and hard.

That's that's my advice.

Yeah, we both go at him.

You can't so you ever do you ever notice in a movie like when there's like five guys in an alley

And then

there's like the martial artist who they'll come at him one at a time.

It's like why?

Why

would you go in and get

him?

Yeah, but it's like a movie so it's all choreographed So that that would be the mistake you and I would make with Jake Paul.

We'd have to like

I'd well you'd go in and I'd say get him

Like you didn't know what was

it?

What

was the sketch we did, we recorded?

So it was, who would win in a fight?

Between a bear?

It was a hundred people versus one silverback gorilla.

Oh, that's right.

Right, that was the thing.

Yeah.

And we actually, you know, did, we fought it.

Dude, you gotta find that.

That was kind of funny.

We fought it,

dude.

But I, you fought it.

I thought I was the one just like yelling instructions from the wings.

So...

Yeah, you're just like saying like kick it.

Get him

countered.

I'll tell your parents what happened that you fought bravely.

All right, without further ado, folks, I think it is time to get to our nightlight question of the night.

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.

Tonight's question, very simply, is what's your question?

Are you pondering something in life?

Tell us what question you have.

Amanda posted this, our social media guru said, I think, what did she say?

Ask Pete or something like that?

If

you want

to ask me something, that's fine.

I have no knowledge other than my own knowledge.

But you're welcome to ask me a question.

But tell us what your question is.

What are you wondering?

You have a Christmas movie question, a philosophical life question.

You can ask any question that's been on your mind throughout the course of your life tonight, on nightlight.

I'm turning the tables, ladies and gentlemen.

And what did you say?

Kind of on social media.

Well, I thought it was a Ask Pete.

I didn't realize, you know, I asked after Jake Paul lost, do you still think it's rigged?

Oh, that's

right.

Yeah.

And I do.

But that could have been rigged separately.

That's right.

Amanda kind of took it on herself to change my question.

Well, you know, now you just got to, is it Ask Pete line tonight?

You can ask me.

Ask me anything you want.

I'll try to come up with an answer, whether I have one or not.

I had a really weird

This was interesting.

I think you know, my daughter Kate had the flu.

I had to go pick her

up

at Steven's point.

And, you know, I have two shows to do this week, two next week, the holidays.

I don't want to get sick.

So she said, you know, I'll stay here an extra day and just recuperate and make sure nobody gets sick.

Great.

Great kid.

Sure.

Well, I pick her up and I got an N-94 in the car.

I mean, talk about an incubator.

Like she's got a mask on and she's like, I feel pretty good, dad.

And I have an N95 mask on, like the heavy duty.

I went to the paint department at Menards and got one because I just don't want to get sick and I wore that the whole way home and those are brutal.

You wear one of those?

I just don't, I, you know, I used, when I was in college, I would wear, I had to go to wear a mask every day, obviously.

Oh, that's right.

For the class and stuff.

I hated it so much.

It's kind of brutal, but I was kind of like, like five years ago even more, I would have said, I got a flu shot.

I'm fine.

She had a flu shot and she got knocked on her butt like this is a bad strain going around.

I really didn't want it.

So So far I've been able to avoid and my son Bless his heart did not get a flu shot this year and he's in the house.

So we're trying to quarantine everybody.

I'm in the car I'm scared to even itch my nose under the mask because I think one little germ could get up there and I really don't want the flu this close to Christmas

Yeah, that would suck, you know the the thing about wearing mask where we live is

It's easy to get sweaty under the mask because of how warm it, you know, when you get into the car and you have the heat on.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Here's the worst part.

We had tickets to see Frank Herman's Christmas show at one o'clock on Saturday.

This is going to be my whole day.

I was going to pick up Kate.

We're going to come back.

My wife and my son were going to meet us there.

My parents, we had six tickets to the show.

And Frank does such a great job.

And I had to text him that morning and say, two of us have the flu and my parents didn't want to be around them because they're in their 80s and my dad's just getting over.

It was a nightmare.

The only one who could go to the show was me and I had to pick up my daughter.

And so she's in the car.

I'm gonna say, oh, you're fine.

I'll leave the car warm, Kate.

You can sit in the parking lot.

The show's only two hours.

Am I gonna do that?

So that threw my day into upheaval because here's my thinking con.

Here's where I was going with this.

I thought, if we see Frank's show on Saturday and then go out get a nice dinner, it's already a great day.

If the Bears dropped the second game of the year to the Packers, at least I will have already had a really good day.

So that part was canceled.

A lot of pressure on the Bear Packer game.

And then I'm watching that nightmare for two and a half, two hours and 45 minutes.

And I'm like, and I'm watching Ben Johnson get out coached by Matt LeFleur, a guy he trash talked to.

When he got the job with the Bears and I'm like, why would you why would you add that pressure to yourself?

I'm you know,

I don't

know it was brutal

Let's just say these two teams are severely banged up and it's just

Packers especially now.

Yeah,

I

mean the Bears have lost a couple guys for the season.

They whatever I've got these soft tissue injuries What is that a bruise?

I gotta say that that I don't I can't remember his name that wide receiver They got the touchdown

Like, really stepped up.

Not DJ Marr, but the other

guy.

Oh, Yaday, it looks like it's Jude, but it's pronounced Jaday.

Jaday,

uh, yeah.

The guy, he tweeted saying I was homeless like a year ago or something like

that.

He went to high school with my nephew in Shaker Heights, Ohio, and I...

So we've kind of been following him because he had two clutch catches in preseason We're like, oh, I hope this guy makes the squad and then that's only a second NFL catch like that's just a gene if you have if you're a guy like that under pressure as a rookie and you make a catch like you got to keep that guy around that guy's got the gene But I did I know it was it's a tough, but I will say this the rivalry is definitely back.

Mm-hmm

like now that

the bears

are competitive definitely It's a it's a rival and it's like in the 80s when

You know, uh, was it Charles Martin and Chuck Cecil and there were cheap shots and, and how they were chippy the other night, you got, uh, the Packers cornerback and you got Jaquan Briskar.

If that was a college game, he would have been tossed out of the game.

He took a punch at the guy.

Yeah,

he did.

But I've never seen a finish like that to a football game.

My condolences, Packer fans, you got the Bears a couple of weeks ago in a shocker.

It would be something if they met in the playoffs again.

Uh, that would be fun.

It would be fun.

I don't think my heart could take it, but.

It's a heck of a game.

Mike Clemens is going to break it all down for us at 535.

And it'll be a fun discussion.

And join the show, folks.

Answer the question.

Tell us what's on your mind.

We love it when you do that.

When we come back, I'm going to tell you about a really funny thing I saw, the funniest parody I've ever seen of Home Alone so far.

And who played Kevin and we'll talk about that after a very short break news sports and weather coming up in about 10 minutes So stick around folks.

It's peach wava and nightlight on the civic media radio

network

Welcome

back.

I'm Pete Schwab.

This is Nightlight.

It is Monday night, folks, and we are at it.

During a short week here, a short week of Nightlight will be on tonight and tomorrow night with a brand new material and...

Original content and new shows and it'll be Christmas music from two o'clock Christmas Eve, correct?

Yeah through Friday.

Yeah So there you go.

You got Lou Regani, too If you don't know who Lou Regani is folks, I would go to the civic media civic media dot US and check out his He's a great show where he just plays oldies and Lou has a great voice.

He's got a lot of great stories just a really a great personality in

You'll get a dose of him if you tune in here over the next, well, Wednesday through Friday.

So it should be fun.

And we'll be back live on Monday and Tuesday.

And then we'll have a few more days off as well.

Short weeks.

So we'll make the best of them.

Our question of the night is, what is your question?

Tell me what is on your mind?

What is your question?

You have philosophical questions, the meaning of life.

gift suggestions, you don't know what to buy.

Ask away, folks.

You get to ask the questions tonight.

We thought that would be fun.

Did you see the Ariana Grande thing?

I did.

It was actually hilarious.

So those of you, if you didn't see Saturday Night Live this past weekend, Ariana Grande was the guest star.

She played Kevin McAllister from Home Alone.

And just, I had to like look.

and go, who is that?

Like I couldn't, I was watching it on my phone and I'm like, who the heck is that?

Then when I saw that it was her, it just blew me, it was hilarious.

It was so funny.

And she comes down and it says, what was it?

They answered the questions of what happened in those awkward moments and the whole family comes home and they fall victim to Kevin's traps that had not been released yet.

One guy gets set on fire, a couple arms get cut off.

That was really funny.

Yeah.

Buff?

What's this?

Biff.

No, Buff.

Buzz.

Buzz.

I was thinking about Biff from Back to the Future.

No, Buzz, a fan drop down and... No, it just kept

going down.

It just kept going down.

It just chopped him up.

And the dad got a blowtorch to the head, and then kerosene spit on him, and he like, you know, oh, God, it was so funny.

And then it was just all just a...

chaotic dream.

It was

great.

It was so funny.

And then I saw this other thing I thought was hilarious was Bing Crosby and the David Bowie.

They sing a little drummer boy.

Oh, yeah, which I think is great.

Maybe it's a little corny.

I really enjoy it.

I like both those guys.

And then that was parodied by Will Ferrell and John C. Riley.

But when was that?

That's not recent.

Was that an older one?

Or is that new?

Oh, I don't

Maybe I didn't see that one.

It was very funny and they said watch till the end So the two of them actually saying and they're pretty decent so you got to sit through like two I almost clipped it, but I thought I don't want to make people sit through two and a half minutes of the song and then they just kind of They don't get physical, but they just don't like each other and they start sniping at each other It was one of those few times when I'm watching like a social media video And it has that annoying watch till the end which nothing ever happens and it's a complete waste of time This actually was funny.

It's only three minutes if you go to like

two minutes and 30 seconds.

But I would Google John C. Riley, Will Ferrell, Bing Crosby, David Bowie.

It's pretty funny.

This is just a thing to do when you always have that title that says, watch to the end.

And

if it's on Instagram or TikTok, whatever you're looking, look at the comments first, because the first count will

be like,

nothing happened.

My favorite comment when I read something under a social media post that people hated was someone will say,

I remember my life before I saw this.

It was great.

So yeah, that's a good idea, though.

This was interesting.

I went out to eat with my folks on Saturday and my wife before the game.

We went to a local place and I saw this woman spill food on her shirt.

Now, what would you do if you did that con?

I'd probably like raise my hands in the air and be like, oh, come on, and then walk to the bathroom and clean it off.

Would you like wardrobe change?

Yeah, this woman spilled like this.

It was probably queso on her shirt.

She reaches down with her finger, swipes it up, and puts it in her mouth.

That's not wasting it right there.

Okay, that's fair.

That's not wasting it.

I understood the rationale behind that.

It is bad table manners, I think.

Like most people dip in napkin in water and wipe it off.

This woman just wasted no time.

She's like, nope, you're not getting away from me.

Well, you know, sometimes you just can't waste food, you know?

Listen, I get it.

It just made me laugh.

But we had a fun discussion at our table like anyway.

So we've got new sports and weather coming up in just a couple minutes, folks.

Civic Media's team will keep you informed and tell you what's up.

Then we've got Mike Clemens coming up right after the news for some sports talk and he'll break down the Bears Packers game with us.

And lots of fun stuff going on here tonight.

We've got Madison-based comic Johnny Beiner will be here at 6.35.

We'll tell you where you can see Johnny over the holidays.

And my pal Paul Gannis, a great actor and a fellow elementary school parent friend of ours from Los Angeles will be here.

He's kind of

great Rob Reiner story for you.

And then in our number three, the final act, the final curtain, so to speak, it's going to be mob talk.

So that's an appropriate way to say it.

We've got Eric and Steve from the Milwaukee Mafia podcast.

They will be here.

And that is going to be a lot of fun.

They've got great stories about Milwaukee mob characters and a story about James Kahn.

I'm going to ask them about.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

So am I missing something, Kahn?

I don't think so.

Let's try to get a text in here before we scoot off to the news.

Our questions that I just remembered.

What is your question, folks?

We ask the questions all the time.

And now I'm putting it out there to you.

You can ask us anything you want.

Madison in the 608 says, I specifically took off from work tomorrow, so I didn't have to think.

So I don't have any questions or thoughts for them.

That's fair.

You don't want to come up with a question.

I didn't mean to give everybody homework.

I just thought it could be fun.

But fair enough, Madison.

Monica from the 608 says, Why do we make things harder than they need to be?

Like having to be a contortionist to get the toilet paper started in a public toilet.

Especially when the dispenser is metal or a dark color so you can't see through it to see to the end.

Why do we need to make this harder?

That actually was homework.

That was some serious question asking.

Monica, I have no answer.

Maybe we're all being recorded.

And they just like to laugh at us.

I hope not, because that would be illegal.

Great stuff.

Keep those questions coming, folks.

Great to have you with me.

Mike Clemens is coming up after the news, so stick around for new sports and weather.

It is next.

I am Pete Chihuahua.

This is Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.

In a game like that, even though the odds are against us there that late, we're going to keep on swinging and make some plays when we need it to.

So I couldn't be more proud of the group.

I'm very fortunate to be in the position I'm in coaching these guys and not something I take for granted.

I'm sure there are Packer fans that did not need to hear that highlight again, but that was the voice of Ben Johnson in the final play of the Bears Packers game, which ended at 22.16 in favor of the Bears and here to break it all down.

I mean, the rivalry is definitely back.

There was drama.

There was, uh, there was, you know, the catch was DJ more caught over the same guy that intercepted the past two weeks ago.

Great storylines and here to break it all down is Civic Media Sports Authority in the studio.

I might add.

Mr. Mike Clements.

Hey, buddy.

Hi, how are you?

Well, you had a weekend, huh?

Yep.

Busy,

busy, busy.

Uh, got out of the stadium about one, worked until about four back at the hotel.

Wow.

Uh, gotta call it six from one of the networks that deal with it.

Yeah.

That's football.

Yeah.

Oh, you probably went out and drank and

party and all

that.

Like, no, no, dude.

No, no, there's too much stuff to cover.

that that was the first time I have not heard social field that loud in so long.

And it's it's that to me said, you know, bears fans wanted revenge for two weeks ago, but mostly it said this is a rivalry again.

It's not just the Packers dominance, which has been without exception of a few interspersings 30 years almost.

I started taking note of that in the fourth quarter, because with five minutes left to play, Green Bay had pretty much controlled the whole game.

Yeah,

they had not outscored them.

But they, the offensive line, you know, kept Malik Willis stepped up.

Yeah.

They were running the ball, running jet sweeps, moving the ball.

Defense.

Defense of line contained Caleb Williams, the secondary had plaster coverage on their receivers.

Caleb didn't have much to throw to.

Right.

And then Ben Johnson took the gloves off, started calling shots, started calling plays.

And this is what Caleb does.

And that's how they've been winning a lot of their games.

But on that touchdown play at the end, in overtime, we asked, because I cover both locker rooms.

I never understand why people just talk to one team.

There's great stories on other sides.

Oh, yeah, especially in this game, yeah.

And Ben Johnson alluded to it.

And Caleb, the quarterback, said, yeah, Ben called me on Wednesday.

I went in.

We looked at some stuff.

He showed me this particular play.

We went over, we ran some reps on it on Thursday, and they had that in their pocket all night.

And they pulled that one out when they had a first down after they had regained control of the ball when Malik had this unfortunate quarterback center exchange snap and he fumbled.

And they just took that shot, 45 yard play, and you know, and beat Kieshawn Nixon on a crosser.

It was an amazing throw.

It was like in the air, 55 plus yards, and he was kind of fading when he threw it.

It looked like an Aaron Rodgers type thing, but here's what I don't understand.

I heard that.

Oh, we practiced it.

There was nothing fancy about the route.

It was like a post-route, right?

Right down the field.

Like, they didn't have that in the arsenal already?

No, it's the formations.

Okay.

You know, it's the stuff

you do

pre-snap.

It's the placement.

It's anticipation, what you're going to see in that situation, that part of the field on first down, what you anticipate Halfley is going to give you for a defense and what just might work.

But you know, let's keep that one in our pocket

in that

particular situation.

I just think Ben Johnson essentially just wants to make sure about ball security and keep him in the game and then let him take his shots.

Now

I asked LaFleur about the play yesterday.

after he'd had a chance to see the tape.

Yeah, we see that play.

Yeah, sure.

So he's also trying to be the coach who says, I knew that they were going to do that.

Yeah.

I could have told you they were going to do that.

But he didn't.

Yeah.

They didn't communicate that to their secondary.

And they got burned.

So many times during that game, I'm like, what does he do when he launched?

I'm like, why?

Five yards from field goal range.

Cairo had kicked it well and the Packers, Mike, correct me if I'm wrong, Ben Johnson got outcoached in my opinion.

Like he got cute initially and I thought LaFleur had a great game plan and it was working.

I mean, am I wrong about that?

No, I

actually tweeted by the end of the third quarter, start of the fourth.

It's like, where's the Detroit lines, Ben Johnson?

Yeah, right.

Where's the razzle-dazzle?

You know, the fake to this, fake to that, throwback to the quarterback.

He would set that up with Jared Goff.

And I just started thinking, well, it's because Jared Goff is a little more advanced,

more

years under him.

I had all that time.

But I think he's just he's still bringing this quarterback along the second year quarterback to let's, you know, ball security.

It's not

over

the ball.

That's a really good defense over there.

And I want to respect that defense.

But I even tweeted like, where's this Ben Johnson offense?

This looks kind of stale.

Yeah,

yeah, like

the same thing

over and over again.

Eberfluss was still there.

And they were having a hard time getting their running game going, which just a couple of weeks ago, scorched the Philadelphia Eagles.

They ran 281 yards.

They got to Green Bay.

Their longest run was nine yards in that game that the Packers

won at Lambo.

But it just kept them in the game, kept them in the game.

And then they had a couple of, you know.

plays fall their way.

Yeah,

like, Hey, let's decide to go for after we get the field goal.

Let's go for the onside kick.

And so you make this big declaration, you know, we're we're gonna have an onside kick.

And Cairo Santos makes his beautiful onside kick over to the his right hand side.

There's Romeo Dobbs.

And the ball bounces off his chest.

And there's a huge pile.

And the Bears recover like, Are you kidding me?

And Dobbs is having a good night.

He had five catches.

Nice touchdown reception from Malik Willis.

We had to fill in at quarterback.

Jordan Love goes

down with a concussion.

He took a head shot from big Austin Booker.

Big defensive line for the Bears.

Helmet to helmet.

Right.

But there's Dobbs, a receiver, supposed to be good with his hands.

And he just can't get the handle on the football.

It's bobbling around.

And at that point that after the game, we went up to Romeo Dobbs and said,

All right, so what happened on the mucked onside kick?

I missed it.

That's just this game, bro.

I wrapped this all week.

And yeah, bro, somebody got to be responsible, and I'm going to take on a thousand percent of it.

You injured your arm, though, on the play.

Kind of hard to maintain security of the ball.

Yeah, I mean, dude, that's just this game.

This is.

The injury rate in this s**t is high.

Yeah, that s**t happens.

Did the wind affect it at all?

It was very windy when the ball was in the air.

This was on the ground.

Nah, man.

I just misjudged it.

Credit to them.

It was a great kick right here.

And just on my end, I got to be better on securing the ball in a situation like that.

It is what it is,

man.

Is that the position you're in on side recovery when you rep it throughout the

week?

Yeah, all situations from being down X amount of points or a tight game, something that we do throughout the week.

I just did not, I just didn't do the job right.

Like I said, man, I'll take 100% of this game.

That clip complements of my guest who is here in studio with a civic media sports authority Mike Clemens Who and he was answering your question Mike that was great?

What do you feel for the guy?

It's like not how you want it You don't want to be that guy.

No if he catches that it's over,

right, right?

I mean and he's in the last year of his contract, too

Oh, man, and he got injured on the plate, too

It got his got a injured wrist out of that Then a couple ticks later all sudden Caleb Williams is back at quarterback

They're down by a touchdown and he hits this rookie receiver today.

Johnny Walker

Walker and he's wide open in the side.

Well, they ran a play where they did a bit of a pick kind of a crisscross and Nate Hobbs gets confused with Kishan Nixon and this kid's wide open for a touchdown.

And on that play, I saw Rashawn Gary, you know, the guy's one of their higher paid.

defensive line defensive end linebacker run off the field on third down like it dude it's fourth down what are you doing and I see him I've got the binoculars known as he's he's cramping or something oh really has to get off so Brenton Cox Jr.

who's a second year man he's been on the injured reservedly just got off a couple weeks ago he comes running in number 57 and no one's touching him so Caleb is back to pass and he almost sacks him.

Right

like

a fingertip away could have sacked him instead Caleb gets the ball off and scores that touchdown to tie up the game and send it over time So I went to Breton Cox and said you almost had

him Is that number four to two I mean, that's a play that it's not like they invented something right there.

The one says Breton Cox.

I don't have You don't hmm.

Okay.

All right.

Well, I talked to Breton Cox and he

He just talked about the fact that, yeah, he came that close to having it on that play.

And, you know, the fact that Caleb Williams is good, and just in those moments, can stand in there and deliver.

Joddy Walker, too, in preseason, had a couple of game-winning catches.

Like, there are some guys that just have that.

ability.

And this is his second catch in the NFL in a regular season game.

His first had come earlier in the game, a big catch for him.

But to your point, Mike, there was almost another unsung hero that was the hero if he had gotten to Caleb Williams.

That would have ended the game as well.

Where do you see the rivalry right now?

Is it back full force?

Like there were some cheap shots the other night.

Jaquan Brisker probably would have been thrown out of a college game if he had

if the refs had seen that.

Is the rivalry back in full force?

And do you think the coaches have embraced it?

Because I don't like to trash talk.

I feel like the rivalry is great enough.

I don't think we need to incite it more like Ben Johnson is doing.

And I thought he got cute early on.

And I thought the Bears were way too amped up when they came out.

Like obviously they had watched films of old Bear Packer games or something.

They didn't seem like they wanted to play football.

They didn't want to fight.

Excellent point.

Excellent point.

And I'm glad that you picked up on that.

which to me made no sense why the floor.

They you know they the Bears win the toss they elect to kick off and to defer Packers maintain possession of the ball the Bears are flying around as you

say

but the Packers mean are able to get you know down into the into Bears territory and that drive you know breaks down and they go for it on fourth down I'm like are you paying attention to where the Bears are right now take the points right and he didn't.

And they didn't convert, and the Bears took back over, but they seem to throw out the analytics or whatever.

In the meantime, later in the second quarter, Jordan Love gets his helmet to helmet shot, gets knocked out with a concussion.

So we talked to Aaron Banks, who's the left guard, about if he had a chance to talk to Jordan Love after the game.

I'm going to talk to him for a second and a half time.

There's just a lot going on, so I didn't get a chance to really check in with them, but it's hard.

It's definitely hard, especially the nature of, you know, how it happened.

I mean, they called.

What's the flag they called on that rough in the passer?

I just don't get how guys get kicked out again for taunting, but if you hit a quarterback late in the head, like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, that should get the same treatments.

Something as, you know, simple as taunting, you know, I think that.

that has to be reevaluated.

I think that's ridiculous.

Boy, what, how do you think that?

I mean, Austin Booker, he got penalized.

I would imagine he's going to be fined.

But was it malicious Mike, in your opinion, or was it just a football play?

I mean, Jordan kind of lowered his head at the last moment, but he would have hit him.

It was going to be a vicious hit either way.

You know,

I don't

know.

It all happens so fast.

These guys don't want 15 yard penalties against their team.

right.

But you know he got his shot in.

Then we went to big Colby Wooden.

He is a defensive lineman and said you know at the end of the game the Bears make some sort of an adjustment or did they do something you know to

the

plan you weren't counting

on.

Let's bring let's come back with that.

OK.

We get a really short break.

Mike Clemens is here.

We're going to open with that clip when we come back.

This is Peach Wabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media radio

network.

There were so many plays in this game that if they go different or if we make a play or if we don't fumble or if we aren't over five or whatever in the red zone So it's never just one play It's never just one phase and that's where I have so much confidence with our guys that these guys will rally around each other They'll support one another.

They'll lift the guys that need to be lifted up and they'll battle

That is the voice of Packer Coach Matt LaFleur.

I'm Pete Schwabba.

This is Nightlight and the clip is compliments of my in-studio guest right now, Mr. Mike Clemens, who does such a great job covering the NFL, specifically the Packers.

But you feel for Matt LaFleur too, like you can't game plan any better.

I mean, his game plan was working.

I thought they had made adjustments since the first meeting, because I thought the Bears are just gonna come out and run the ball like crazy.

But they were ready for him.

Well, and then you're making these mistakes.

We talked about you screwed up the onsite kick.

Yeah.

Other things along the way.

You've got a quarterback exchange with your backup quarterback, Malik Willis.

The ball goes on the ground.

Bears recover.

You know, you give them that opportunity.

And then even a face mask call.

You

know, one of the defensive linemen from Green Bay just reaching up trying to make a play.

But you know, if you touch that bar on the face mask, it's going to be 15 yards.

So I went to Colby Wooden, who's one of those big interior defensive linemen who did such a nice job of containing the Bears running game and their quarterback, you know, Caleb Williams.

I said, did you see, did you get a sense that the Bears were making adjustments in their offense or their formations or, you know, what do you think was happening at the end of this game?

We just didn't finish, bro.

We just didn't finish.

We didn't finish, bro.

We didn't finish, bro.

We just ain't finished, man.

That's it.

We just ain't finished.

I mean, and that's it.

What can you say?

Yeah.

And you, I forget, I'm sitting in a toasty press box.

This is nice as the studio is right now, but you go downstairs and you get in that tunnel and that blast hit you from the field.

Yeah.

I was like, oh man, they've been out in this stuff for the last three and a half hours hitting each other.

You can even, when you stand next to these six foot six, 320 pound guys in the locker room.

with the smell of the grass stains on them.

And Nicole is still sort of coming off their body.

By the way, I guess there was this one thing where Erin Andrews, she was the sideline reporter of the game, and she said that the heaters weren't working.

How about that?

I

imagine that.

The

visitors.

On the visitors side, the heaters weren't working.

How about that?

They got them going again though, right?

You know, 60 years ago, how does she do this with Lombardi?

They serve the cold showers

in the visitor's

locker room.

The fine traditions

continue.

What do you make of the coaching rivalry right now, Mike?

I saw this thing on social media where supposedly Ben Johnson went to shake, you know, the first meeting a couple of weeks ago, LaFleur did a very quick handshake and kind of slapped his shoulder with his scorecard.

There is this speculation that Ben Johnson did the same thing, shook his hand and took his scorecard and hit the floor like, are they trying, or maybe it's just Ben Johnson, but is the floor gonna take the bait?

Like he seems like he's handling Ben Johnson's little psychic games pretty well.

I think it's just simply this.

Ben's a sharp offensive mind, had been with the lines, the lines.

You know, the Dan Campbell regime started two years after the Florida already been in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers for a couple of years.

It completely changed the Lions franchise that hasn't had a championship since the 1950s and only been in the playoffs

a

few times, went on 16 a few years.

Right.

You know, that was with Matthew Stafford and quarterback.

And they started beating the Packers.

And, you know, that's a rivalry along alone.

Ben Johnson gets hired by the Bears.

He tells all the fans, I love this job.

Last summer, I brought my family here to a Cubs game.

Had no

idea.

I love Chicago.

And I'm going to love beating Matt LaFleur twice a year.

That's all he said, because he's already been doing it.

Yeah, as as Alliance offensive coordinator.

And it also harkens back to something that lovey Smith did 20, 25 years ago when he said we're the top three things we're going to do is we're going to

beat the Green Bay Packers.

We're going to, you know, win our division and we're going to go to Super Bowl, which he did.

They

didn't win,

but they got that far.

So, you know, he's playing to the press.

That's all.

The floor doesn't want to get any of the part of that.

Yeah.

It

doesn't want to be a meme.

He doesn't want to be right.

He doesn't want to be, you know, Dennis Green and we knew they were going to grow them.

He doesn't

want to do that, but there was competition.

So if they, these guys decide to have these quick.

handshakes, whatever, let it

happen.

Mike, we have about a minute left.

Maybe not even.

No, we have about a minute left.

Malik Willis came in, did a great job with a concussion.

You just don't know who's more likely to be healthy enough to go this weekend if you even know that or I don't.

I would

assume that Jordan Love would be ready.

But who knows?

I mean, that's up to the protocol.

And, you know, and then Malik Willis at the end of the game has a shoulder injury.

Yeah.

To be frank, I'm not sure if it's the throwing shoulder or the left, right?

I don't think if we got that.

But we did find out that the emergency quarterback is either Josh Jacobs, the running back, or

Jayden Reed, the wide receiver.

I heard that.

I was like, oh my God.

Con, any closing thoughts?

Why don't you jump in here, buddy?

I know you're limiting all the injuries the Packers have right as

the playoffs.

I mean, it sucks.

But, you know, and then they play the Ravens

on Saturday night at seven o'clock, a Lambo field.

And Lamar Jackson's got a bad back now.

He had to leave the game yesterday.

The Ravens

game.

Is there a word on him yet for this weekend?

Is he out?

No, we don't know yet.

We won't know until Wednesday or Thursday when they start issuing the injury list.

And if

they're able to participate in practice.

Lots of storylines to follow, Mike.

You got your work cut out for you.

Conrad made the suggestion that at least you're not wasting food, but it is kind of a I don't know if it's proper etiquette

No.

To wipe queso off your shirt and put it in your mouth?

It's not so great for other diners, like we experienced the other night.
