Mentors, Money Tips, and Mischief (Hour 2)

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 doesn't have 20-20 vision, even in hindsight, Pete Chwaba.

Hey, welcome to Night Light.

It is finally Monday ladies and gentlemen and you know what?

I love Mondays I celebrate them because we get to go back in the air and talk about stuff in life that we love to talk about It's not even work sometimes I mean there's a lot of work to going into show that it's not a lot of work, but this Monday especially After this ridiculously cold weekend

I'm very thrilled this Monday, and I have something to do.

I sat in all weekend.

I know what you guys did.

Maybe you're the masochistic types, and you go out in snowmobile and ice fish, even in that kind of weather, but that was nuts.

And I'm glad it's over.

And you know it's bad.

When I was looking at my weather app today, just to figure out how I should dress, and I was expecting it to be negative five, and I look at my phone and it said six.

And I actually said, oh, sweet.

I said, oh, sweet.

Because it's six degrees.

That's how miserable and awful it was this weekend.

Ladies and gentlemen, producing tonight's show is Conrad Krieger.

Oh, you packing up?

It is National Bubble Wrap Day, folks.

I just thought I would say that because...

Conrad got some kind of a discount and he is wrapping everything in the studio in bubble wrap just because he can because he got big big savings

Yeah, and I just like the noise.

Okay, you can kill it.

That's

not what do you mean kill it?

I just gotta be done popping it.

Are you sure you're not making popcorn?

Yeah, I'm just so you

could have stole that that sound instead of the bubble wrap and no one would even know

Well, happy national bubble wrap day.

Very exciting stuff for all you movers out there, people putting priceless artifacts away, packing them away.

You have a day to celebrate the wrappings thereof.

So that's exciting.

Do you have a good weekend?

Yeah, I did.

I did.

Yeah.

I worked out, you know, my card, my card in starts, watched, you know, because of the cold.

Yeah.

Well, man, just had a dead battery, I guess, too.

Yikes.

Luckily my brother was there to help me out and give me a jump.

Okay.

Got to the auto body shop and got a new battery in there.

You had to get a whole new battery.

Yeah.

It was bad.

They tested it.

It said bad.

Did they put the old one in bubble wrap before they threw it away?

That's my question to you.

Not bubble wrap.

No.

I think they just tossed it actually.

I just totally lobbed that to you to allow you to play your bubble wrap sound effect, which

are obviously thrilled that you found.

But it's

popcorn, I guess.

Pop up some popcorn and watch them change your battery.

Well, that's that kind of sucks, but

yeah, but we you know, I still get to you know, spend time working out and I did watch it's called a skyscraper live If you didn't know what that is.

Well, it was a Netflix event Alex had an event Alex Hammond, I believe is how you say his name, right you want he climbed 101 stories in Taiwan and There was no safety

Anything like no ropes no nets nothing just him chalk and sticky shoes

So Like what are you watching that for you know what I mean like no honesty God cuz I'm I probably have nightmares if I watch it.

I don't particularly like heights

But you're watching that on the off chance that someone could die.

I mean, basically.

Basically he could, yeah.

Because the climbing part, that's not exciting.

As he gets higher, you're like, oh my God, that's a skill, that's incredible.

But you're watching that on the off chance that something horrible could go wrong, really.

That's why I'd be watching

it.

But it was really, really, really impressive.

Like just watching him actually every single movement, like he knew it down to a T, though.

You

want to really impress me, do it without the sticky shoes.

Or the truck doing some slippery socks.

I would be really impressive That's horrible.

So that was live now.

Can you watch did they I assume they posted

it?

Yeah, you can watch it on Netflix.

Okay, and I mean It was funny like there's people in the building like watching him do it and he'd still wave at everyone while he was climbing

Probably to take his mind off what a psychopath.

Yes

Yeah, like I can't believe you did that

That is not it's it's something that's never done been done before so like Good for him.

I guess what will he now?

I hope I hope at least he'll cash in It's

a Netflix event.

So hopefully you got paid well, but I mean just even an endorsements or whatever like He's obviously a thrill seeker and a guy who wants to do stuff like that.

He probably is climb mountains or whatever but

if you keep doing that, eventually,

something is gonna go horribly wrong.

I feel like, I guess I'm totally different from him, but I'm just saying, if that was me, that would be my last thing ever.

Yeah, see ya.

I've done it for

that.

I made it.

Because I don't, I'm sure it's in his blood though.

He probably won't stop doing that because that's just what he lives for.

And you know what?

He's probably one of those guys that was like, if I die doing this, okay.

At least I wasn't sitting around

like

Peachwaba.

You know, he's not an indoor guy.

He's not an indoor guy.

Not only am I an indoor guy, I am a proud indoor guy.

Not proud, but I'm an indoor guy.

So there you go.

We got a really fun show tonight, folks.

Great guess.

Mike Clemens will be here at 535 after news, sports, and weather, which is just 18 minutes away.

Stick around for that.

Mike is going to keep us updated.

Well, on a lot of stuff, we'll talk to him about the...

Super Bowl matchup, what's happening in Milwaukee with Yanis?

There's some rumblings, according to you Conrad, that people are not very happy with.

There's always rumblings with Yanis and, you know, it's just like, is it ever going to happen?

And it's like today is like, I saw, you know, it's from an analyst or whatever.

And he says, this is the time that the Bucks are thinking about, is it time to mutually part ways?

And you know

what?

If they do, it's okay.

You'd hate to see him

go.

It'd be the dumbest move they can make, probably, but.

But what it like even if they get a boatload of picks back or whatever

just you're never gonna get the talent back to be honest That's no, but I guess yeah

three decent play or not decent but ideally better than decent right

the thing I would do before I'd let Yanis go is fire dock rivers

Why is he the hold up?

He's not great just because of his voice.

Are you judging him on his voice?

He does sound like the Hulk

the guy can't sing cut him some slack

We've got Chip Chinnery.

We'll be here also, folks, in hour number two at 635.

Chip founded a website called Chip's Money Tips.

He makes money fun and funny.

Not funny money.

That's a different thing, but Chip is a very successful stand-up comic and actor, and he is also the founder of this really fun site that kind of helps you nut.

Game the system, but make it work a little bit more to your advantage.

Credit card deals, ways to do certain things that you might not have thought of.

He's very good with money, and his site is very successful.

So Chip will be here at 635.

And he also was the guy in Seinfeld.

I think Chip is the guy that was in the T-Bone episode.

where George wanted his nickname to be T-Bone.

But somebody, his boss said, oh, we should call you T-Bone to one of his other employees after George brought it up.

And Chip's in that episode, which I think is funny.

I would have loved to have been on Seinfeld, but

he's done it.

He's been on Friends.

We'll talk to Chip about all kinds of fun stuff in hour number two, and then in hour number three, I'm very excited for this guy because...

You know, it's happened a few times on this show where, like, John Legend will come on, or Shahroh, or somebody that I kind of grew up watching.

Not John Legend.

I'm actually probably older than John Legend.

And tonight is a similar situation.

We've got Sean Cassidy on in hour number three.

Sean will be performing in Wisconsin in February.

He's going to be down at the Meyer Theater here, February 17th, I believe, and at the Barrymore Theater.

right there in Madison, February 18th.

So two fun nights here in Wisconsin by an actual pop or showbiz icon.

Sean is David Cassidy's brother and Shirley Jones' son.

Jack Cassie was his dad.

He's sort of a Hollywood royalty, but a really good guy.

I've been doing my research on Sean Cassie, who I haven't thought about in a while, to be honest.

And he has been up to a lot of really cool stuff.

This guy is not just an ex-pop star.

Like he's a producer.

He turned himself into a TV writer, which is pretty amazing.

And we'll talk to him about what people can expect if they go out to see his show in Green Bay or Madison next month.

I'm very much looking forward to talking to Sean.

So and I think you know Conrad without further ado.

It's time.

We get to our night like question of the night

Let's talk about the question.

Okay question question

question question question question question this question

Who would you choose to be your mentor I can't remember why I chose this question.

It's it's tomorrow's either national mentor day or

You know, I think there was a birthday of someone who, I don't know, it doesn't matter.

But tonight's question is, who would you choose to be your mentor?

I said probably Warren Buffett or Sydney Sweeney.

It's a toss up.

What would you need from Sydney Sweeney?

Oh, you have no idea, buddy.

How to make soaps?

I

feel

like she could really give me the career advice I need.

Did you recently see what she was up to?

With the soap?

No, with her lingerie brand.

Oh dear.

She recently... What do I need to Google now?

She recently took to the Hollywood sign and put all of her new bras that are available on the Hollywood, on the H.

On the actual H of the actual Hollywood

sign?

Yeah.

She did that?

Yep.

How is that?

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble with that one.

Look it up.

There's a video of her actually doing it.

I seriously doubt that but I will She get that guy from to pie to climb up into it So I didn't know yeah, I didn't know who to put Gary Busey I was gonna put for a joke.

He's kind of out there.

Who did you put

Mark Wahlberg?

He can teach me a lot of things about life.

Yeah, he could about getting up at 3 a.m.

To work out

Like a psychopath.

I want to know how he makes some fabulous movies.

He has his own brand.

He has his own clothing brand.

He has his own restaurant.

Like, I mean, this guy is all over the place.

Oh, sorry.

I must have knotted off there.

Do you think he could teach you how to make the same movie over and over?

Yeah, that's what I want to do.

I think he's probably an okay guy.

I don't know anything about him.

But

listen, let us know who you would want to be your mentor because there are a lot of great options out there.

You don't have to go with Gary Busey.

But if you do, that's fine.

There's no judgment, folks.

855-752-4842-8557-5CIVIC.

You can also text us on this Civic Media app, which is so easy to use.

Or if you are watching the radio on YouTube, Facebook, or X, go ahead and drop us a stream comment and I'll read it on the radio.

Would love to know who you would pick to be your mentor.

We got some great social media responses.

We'll read those in a bit.

And as I mentioned, Sean Cassidy will be here.

Terry Barger sent a text and said, Sean Cassidy, fire.

He's still a very good looking guy, Terry, if you're still listening.

And I think he, I would imagine he puts on a really great show.

Like he's probably got

Endless amounts of stories to tell.

I'm sure there's tons of music He had a number one hit with to do run run, which was a a remake.

I forget who sings the original Dini I think it was called hey Dini won't you come out tonight, which I always thought was deety when I was a kid And then my personal favorite that's rock and roll which is a fun song.

So he was a pop star Turned stage actor then he went on and produced tons of television and movies and he also co-wrote

a sequel to one of my favorite movies, which I had no idea about.

So very excited to have Sean Cassidy on the show tonight.

Mike Clemens is coming up after news sports and weather in just about 15 minutes or so.

We'll talk to Mike and see what he thinks about the Super Bowl matchup, too.

And I'm going to ask him about a picture he took in his backyard.

That'll be fun, folks.

You don't want to miss that.

This is Pete Schwab in Nightlight.

We are coming right back on the Civic Media Radio

Network.

I wonder what I would find if I met you and let my eyes caress you.

Until I meet the dawn, this is princess who.

I often wonder what makes her work.

I guess I'll leave that question to the experts, assuming that they're awesome out there.

I'm Pete Schwab, and this is Night Light.

Happy Monday, everybody.

We are back at it.

Great to be back on the air.

And great to have you with me tonight.

I hope you're staying warm and having an outstanding start to a new week, which will bring so many possibilities.

If it's not enough that you have a reboot on everything in your life on this Monday, it should give you a boost that it's National Bubble Wrap Day.

So that's exciting.

National Popcorn Day.

Alright, now you're changing it.

That's just because it sounds like it.

You're kind of throwing in the towel, like... That sounds like popcorn popping through rain.

Yeah, that's- was it- did you like Google bubble wrap sound effect?

That was the closest one I could find.

The other ones I didn't like, you know.

Maybe I should have picked the other ones

out.

We're not gonna be able to have as much fun with that as we did with Wrestle's leg syndrome.

For sure.

So that's obvious.

Or your cough.

Or my cough.

Or sneeze.

It was a sneeze.

But it was a guttural demonic sneeze.

So we've got a really fun show tonight, folks.

Sean Cassidy is here tonight.

Mike Clemens is coming up after new sports and weather, which is just seven minutes away.

And then my pal, the very funny Chip Chinnery, founder of Chips Money Tips, will be here at 6.35.

Lots of fun tonight.

Our question of the night is, who would you want to be your mentor?

And now it's really bothering me.

During the news, I'm gonna have to figure out where I got this question from.

Not that it's important, but let us know who you would like to be your mentor.

I said Warren Buffett or Sidney Sweeney.

I probably have lots to learn from both of those.

But since Chip's money tips, since Chip is gonna be here tonight to teach me about money, I feel like I can kick Warren Buffett to the curb and just roll with Sidney Sweeney.

There you go.

Yeah.

And who was your mentor again?

Well, you know, I picked Mark Wahlberg,

but if I'm,

you know, cause I...

You know, I really like sports.

I like sports, you know, broadcast and everything.

Yeah, I think I have to go with Skip Bayless.

Oh, boy, if there was ever a guy that needed a beating.

Holy smokes.

You know, there's a time when I actually kind of liked him, like he was OK.

And then he got outlandish because outlandish because I think he realized I can make a lot of money.

Yes.

Back like a

complete idiot.

Jerk.

Yeah,

exactly.

Yes, his takes.

Every time he has something to say, well, it gets a lot of clicks and a lot of comments.

So people want to

just

tear him

a new one.

Tear him a new one, exactly.

So this is something I learned over the weekend.

I might have heard this years ago, but every week I clean up my desktop because I've got all kinds of things from Nightlight kind of scattered about.

And I learned this weekend.

When you click stop, when you get a spam text, you're not supposed to do that.

Do you know why?

Well, I this is my if you click send stop.

Yeah words, you know, you can Have them be like, okay.

He is can text

back.

This is an active.

It's a real person Yes, exactly exactly.

So what you're supposed to do is not do that you're not supposed to hit stop Unless it's from a place you trust but even then you know, they could be inundated with like

I don't know, malware or something, but you're supposed to just block the number.

Yeah, that's what I do.

I was gonna say, I block it and go on with my day.

I think on Apple phones though, on iPhones, you have the option to block and report, right?

And I usually do block and report because I don't want it to come back because sometimes they still do.

Block

doesn't always work.

But that is something that...

Or you can send it to your junk folder, I guess.

I've done that.

That's pretty effective for the most part.

But then you still got to empty your junk folder.

And it's funny, this is from Apple News, where I saw this.

Oh, there you go.

So that's probably how they enhance their... It's an advertiser.

...followers.

Yeah, exactly.

And there was something you said earlier.

Things got so expensive, but there was a country music show.

I thought this was interesting.

This is from Whiskey Riff.

You ever heard of that news outlet?

Whiskey Riff?

Nope.

I like it.

The Watershed Musical Festival, Music Festival for you country music fans just announced it will not return in 2026.

And whenever a festival goes away like that, I'm always like, well, ticket sales must have been down or whatever.

But it said in a statement, organizers said the festival will be taking hiatus in 2026 and plans for the future are still unclear.

And there were some heavy hitters behind this.

It was produced by Live Nation and has featured big country names like Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert.

the country roads music festival also shut down.

You know why?

Why is that?

Tickets are too expensive.

Yeah.

People are finally getting wise.

Now, when will this happen in pro sports?

I don't know.

Probably because a lot of corporations, I think, buy up the sports seats.

I don't think most blue collar families are plopping down thousands of dollars to go to sporting event.

No, I don't think it'll ever change either.

there is

there's

I mean there is like you know good deals still like regardless of where you go for I feel like NFL is the most expensive probably for baseball you can get away with some nice tickets still at low price same with basketball but every single time I look for a ticket you know for a Green Bay Packer game you're still even if you're in those bleeds you're still giving out 200

bucks

Well, and especially like I think I said when I was in Chicago a couple weeks ago for that play out for the Bears Packers game I'm like well, okay.

It's gonna cost me about 3,500 bucks To take four of to take all four of us to a game then there's food.

That's another 24 grand And and then your team might lose so what I just so we ended up not doing that and just going to a bar and it was just as much fun, but

I don't, like a baseball game, I agree, but those have gotten crazy, too.

You used to be able to get Bleacher Seats at Wrigley Field, or Dodger Stadium, they were like six bucks when I moved to LA.

Bleacher Seats at Wrigley Field now are like 80 bucks, I want to say, something like that.

Like, what happened?

I don't know.

Well, I mean, it's also like, it's not like, oh, we're raising our prices so you can get cheaper food.

It's like,

or something like that.

Or for charity.

We're raising

our prices because we...

We want more money

and that's what like I don't and somebody said years ago on sports radio They're like go to the games.

Just don't buy any concessions stick it to them that way that will cost them a ton of money But nobody's ever gonna do that.

No, you're there you want,

you know, even if you just want to water it's like

Yeah, it's terrible and I so I applaud these country music fans for saying no

Yeah, that's that's pretty cool.

You know, there's enough other festivals out there But eventually just greed gets to you and I think that is one way to drive down prices if there's some sort of concerted effort So all right, folks.

It is Monday.

This is nightlight.

I am peach wobble We are doing the news and then Mike Clemens is here to talk sports.

We're coming right back on the civic media radio network

This is Nightlight.

I am Pete Schwabba.

Great to have you here, folks.

We are celebrating a Monday.

We are finally back at it after a long weekend of sitting indoors, doing nothing.

I did watch a cool movie.

I'll tell you about it a little later.

And I'm watching a new TV show that I really like, too.

A good cop show.

Those are hard to find.

So we'll get to all of that.

And maybe we'll talk to our new pal, not new pal, but our next guest about such things as...

Well, as sports, because that's what his specialty is.

He is the Civic Media Sports Authority and one of our best pals here at Nightlight.

He joins us from time to time to keep us posted on all things sports and beyond.

Mike Clemens joins us now.

Hey, buddy.

Good evening, Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, who once again is going back to the Super

Bowl.

Unbelievable.

How about that?

All those years with Belichick and Brady taking you to the Super Bowl, and you're down a couple of years, and you reinvent and you hire Elliot Wolfe

The son of Ron Wolf, who was the longtime GM of the Packers back in the 90s.

It took him to that first Super Bowl and brought in Brett Farve with that famous trade and all that.

And then Elliott, you know, was there at 12 or 13 years old, helping put up names on the personnel board back when it was not a computer, but they were putting names at the board.

And he's helping out Uncle Ted Thompson.

And then when he got to be like 20 or early 20s in a scout,

You know that there was a feeling from some of the senior writers that cover the team like ellie will you know what they're grooming him to be the next GM's one Ted steps down.

Well, he didn't get the job brian goodie kins did Now mark burpees that was mark burpees are and ellie hung around maybe a year and said all right, you know blank this place and he went out and he worked for the browns and One or two other teams and then he got into a good organization with the Patriots who?

Let him do his thing and they probably already had a pretty good scouting department already in the building and look what he did in two years.

He's got him back in the Super Bowl.

That is unbelievable.

And what do you make of that, Mike?

Like, there's been all this stuff talking, you know, made about the Patriots schedules, the easiest schedule in the history of the NFL.

They're still going to the Super Bowl.

They

still go to the Super Bowl and they beat a good, a very good Broncos team and well coached Sean Payton team.

And Robert Kraft...

you know this is a sharp guy he's always got the right stuff you know he's to the point and i was reading a transcript of a little gathering yet with some of those patriot guys out there i know great bidard he's to work for the journal sent on always got his own boston dot com sports thing out in boston and mr krabs said you know how well the league is doing right now i'll tell you how well he's doing we just got some numbers in from nielsen you know the people take you know that they track the ratings top 100 shows

ninety three of the top one hundred shows amongst your csi's and you know it may have a habit elementary and all the other number one ninety three of the hundred shows are nfl football games

is that right now with

all the streaming that's going on

yeah

you know you go back to the remaining broadcast stations and of course you know more and more these games are occasionally popping up well thursday night on amazon

And then they put, you know, they put that Packers Bears game on Peacock.

But isn't

that crazy?

It's insanity.

Yeah.

Do you think Mike?

You know something that's making a difference in that?

One of the people from the Packers, because I was having this discussion with them about a month or so ago, because, you know, like the Super Bowl numbers, the last two or three years have gone nuts.

Like they beat a Powell 11.

Man landing on the moon like two years ago, and it's gone like 110, 120.

hundred thirty million watching this thing and i think some of the folks in the league think that part of the nielsen is doing a rapidly better job in the last five years of tracking the viewing on streaming on phones so you know if you if you're the security guard you're watching the game on your phone or if you know mom and dad are downstairs watching one thing and you know that the fourteen-year-old upstairs with his phone

That's like a whole second audience you're getting credit for.

But they're doing a better job of tracking that stuff and everybody's watching the NFL.

Will Robert Kraft celebrate that, Mike, by getting a massage?

Would you like to explain that story

here?

People can Google it.

Let's just say it ended well.

I don't want to use the happy ending line.

Is that a good Super Bowl?

I mean, there's a lot of drama.

I love that Seattle is kind of a new coach, underdog quarterback who kind of had this rap as being not a big game quarterback.

I love that storyline.

And then you got the Patriots, like as you mentioned, are back after two years.

I think my guess would be people still have Patriot fatigue unless you're a Patriot fan.

But is this a good Super Bowl from a rating standpoint?

Or doesn't it matter anymore what markets the teams are from because of what you just said?

well we'll see what how bad bunny does

you

know i mean right at the last two or three half times of featured you know hip-hop or rap type artists and and and that's really been a huge draw for them as well uh... for me personally after the packers drop off and then frankly you know the chicago bears i think that would have been a great story

that

would have been a real Cinderella story and the number two market in the country television wise right is uh...

I was hoping that Sean Payton and the Broncos were going to get in there because Sean Payton is such a good quote.

And I say, I'll be going to the Super Bowl next week.

You know that?

No, I didn't.

That's awesome for you, though.

Yeah, it's like him.

I have 22, 23rd, something like that.

I go every year because there's so many great stories.

You

know, and I get there and I turn around like, is that Jordan Love walking in the back of the Toyota trailer?

Hey, Jordan.

Hey, we're here doing a show.

oh yeah where you have an okay i'll come and catch up with you and next thing you know i got you know fifteen minutes with your love at my table you know for but your wisconsin radio stations or or just jacob's a year ago we're down in orleans he's walking by in the hallway because he's on his way to some promotional thing and i tap him on the shoulder and he turned around he comes sit down he goes yeah you know what we still need a number one receiver and then they go out and drive

you

know matthew golden so there's there's there's packers walking around there picking up

promotional paychecks and doing their marketing thing like that.

So that's one of the reasons I go to.

But yeah, I'll have stuff.

My updates will be from San Francisco all next week on your show.

I love it, Mike.

And to me, one of the coolest things in media seems like that.

I think they call it Reporters Row or Super Bowl Row or something like that.

Radio Row.

Radio Row.

Everything is just people walking by.

It looks like such a gas.

Yeah, it is.

you know and it's i'm got some of these guys are now pat i got to talk to scale fairs you know so i'm a ten-year-old kid we lived in displace for a couple years rematch in bobby hall in the black hawks and gale fairs and did but because after that after the the the the lombardia we happen to move to the chicago area and then you know as a kid in a grade school and we watch uh... brian song and the importance of that with you know billy d willing and jimmy cut

and there i get to sit down with gale sears for fifteen minutes and and just you know find out about how he is these days and what he likes about the game all that i think uh... what uh... what a tremendous guy tremendous i get all these experience jimik man i interviewed him baby uh... for for a long time so i get all these former players or coaches you know did cut or any of these guys

uh... man

i've bought all these former packers to win dickie comes

You know, it goes on and on

and on and

a lot of the 90 Super Bowl teams as well.

Yeah, that sounds that's one of the perks of your job.

I'm sure that you never get tired of.

That's outstanding.

Let me ask you this, Mike, is skyscraper climbing a sport?

Have you heard

about this?

I know.

Is it in the Olympics already or what?

Not yet, but Conrad watched it.

It was a Netflix special called Skyscraper, I believe, or a guy climbed a 101-story building with no ropes or whatever, just freeform.

And to me, I don't even know if it's something I could watch, but I think that's as athletic as anything I've ever heard of.

Well, then there's also the guy that was in the street performer in New York who, back in the early 70s,

Walked between the world trade centers and a high wire.

Oh, yeah, that's It's great.

It's really petite or so.

I can't what was his name.

It was that it and I was in New York a few years later as a teen A family had gone there and we had a family friend to live right there in Greenwich Village And so we're out getting some food and we're walking on the street at this great New York Street and stuff and he goes.

Oh, hey, hey

it look it's really petite and set in a circle goes around the guy puts a hat down people throwing money into it and this guy take the cable and draws it between like a stop sign and a telephone pole and he does this whole act street act for about twenty minutes and then takes you know cash donations but he's bouncing and juggling and all this on a on a you know a made up tightrope it's like years later i found out that was the guy that walked between the world trade centers like spider-man

God, I love that kind of stuff.

That's so great.

Do you have a prediction, Mike?

Is there a line out yet for the Super Bowl?

No, I don't.

They just had the conference games yesterday.

We find out about injuries, things like that, arrests.

You never know.

I'm not a betting guy.

I don't really know when the line even comes out.

I would imagine Seattle might be slightly favored, but who knows?

It should be fun.

Either way, Mike, I don't

know.

I don't know, man.

Patriots are a pretty solid team, you know?

Yeah.

Rable's been around, you know?

That's

true.

I would submit he's got the.

He might have the better defense and quarterback.

I'm not sure.

He's got at least a couple of reins, too, from his time there.

Right.

At least two, probably.

Mike Clemens is my guest.

He is our Civic Media Sports Authority.

We talk sports with Mike from time to time and love when he's here.

Mike, let's pivot here.

Conrad was telling me earlier about Giannis.

And what did you call it, Con?

Disinterest?

Or does he just seem like he's kind of

limbo?

Like he's losing interest

in

the team.

He's also injured.

He blew out his right calf again.

One that kept him out for eight games earlier this season.

Said he felt it pop.

Doc said he didn't look right through most of the game.

Probably should have pulled him earlier.

With about a couple minutes left to pull him out of the game last week.

Now, you know, Yana's talked to us and said, yeah, I think I know it's going to be the solos again.

And I've got to have an MRI.

It could be four to six weeks.

we don't know how that turned out we were going to talk to the box yesterday but then the game gets canceled because the dallas mavericks were their opponent they got on their team playing yesterday morning was to was until an eight o'clock start usually i thought these guys fly the night before anyway they get on the tarmac down there dallas texas is just you know brought to its knees by this winter storm right and after like three hours is sitting out there they just turn around said that we're not going to make it to milwaukee in a

canceled the game i think it's been rescheduled for sometime after the all-star break maybe february nineteen-thorso so uh... we don't know if i'm assuming that this weekend that you know according to what the others told us in the night and

in

the locker room was that uh... he'll get an MRI this weekend and they'll find out what the status of that is but i mean it's just the wheels are coming off you know gary porter junior with a bleak you know uh... uh... miles turner was able to get back out there despite

a sprained ankle earlier in the week.

And Doc is trying to figure out how to get through to these guys.

In that Doc voice, it has to be unsettling for these guys to listen to Doc talk like

that.

Don't make me do an impression.

Don't make me do

an impression.

Oh man, I would love it if you did.

You could think about that over the break though, Mike.

I don't want to stress you out with that.

In about 30 seconds before we go to this little break, and then we'll just have Mike for a few minutes after that, what can you tell us about the Packers new defensive coordinator?

Jonathan Gannon is a very intense dude, whereas Jeff Halfley is a guy that reaches for your heart.

This guy is more of an android, you know, but he's had a very good record at drawn up, you know, hard to figure out defensive schemes, and he gave the Packers some trouble when they played the Cardinals out in Phoenix.

We know he's losing record.

He's getting out of a bad organization, the Arizona Cardinals.

We'll see what happens.

Mike Clemens is here.

When we come back, I'm going to tell you, or I'm going to ask him what movies he's seen because there are a couple good ones.

And I'm going to ask him about a photo he posted earlier on social media and make sure the deer have not invaded his yard too violently.

It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight.

We're coming right back with Mike Clemens on the Civic Media Radio Network.

I'm Pete Schwabba.

Great to have you with me here tonight, folks, at Nightlight.

News, sports, and weather coming up in just about eight minutes.

In hour number two, Chip Chinnery, very funny comedian and founder of Chips Money Tips will be here.

And then in hour number three, Sean Cassidy will be here, the legendary Sean Cassidy.

Very excited to talk to Sean about his two Wisconsin dates coming up in February.

Right now on the phone with us is our pal, Mike Clements, who we talk sports with.

But Mike is also, Mike has many other interests, like taking pictures and posting them on social media.

Mike, what was going on in your yard this morning?

Let me tell you that in just a second.

By the

way, we were

talking about Jonathan Gannon, the new Packers defensive coordinator who had spent time, he actually spent some time with the Vikings too, but he took the Eagles to the Super Bowl as a defensive coordinator, head coach of the Cardinals last three years.

but uh... jeff haffley your defensive coordinator the last two years who got the job of the head coach of the dolphins has already poached one guy from the packer staff it's ryan downard a high-energy uh... younger guys been the safety's coach for the packers of the last

uh...

three or four years ryan now is going to be moved on to miami and get probably a bigger role maybe a past coordinator role the miami dolphin so that's going on yes so i today

I mean, I've been in Green Bay or on the road with the Packers or the Brewers for the past six or seven months.

And since the Packers didn't get past the week one of the playoffs, I'm actually back at my home in the Milwaukee area.

And today, I wake up and I look out the window after the snow that we've had.

And it's like, OK, that looks like deer tracks.

But at one point, there's this nice, neat path.

One leg goes to the left.

and one leg goes to the right.

I mean, it's like this big oval shape and like, how is that possible?

Is it a baby or something?

Is it a second one?

It's just, but you know, the thing is, is it the path leading up to this circle and then past the circle?

You know, unless, maybe were you ever a kid and you know, if you're in your winter boots and you

You followed your big brother or something in his footsteps

or yeah,

it's it's like it's just it's a little weird It's an odd and I wondered if I was like we heard about exploding trees on your show Friday night Maybe this was exploding deer.

I mean

Conrad just put the picture up in the stream if you're watching what is going on Thanks, could you you might have like the next like crop circles thing going on in your bag?

in your backyard, cosmic deer or

something.

Hey, let's talk movies for a couple of minutes before we let you go.

What you said you've seen Song Song Blue in Sinners.

I think Sinners is going to win Best Picture, even though it's not even my favorite movie.

I loved it.

But what were your thoughts on Sinners first?

It's very well done, very well produced.

Michael B. Jordan is great.

He plays twins.

And there's some new

There's some new cast members that I didn't recognize but you know very well acted It's a weird movie and I don't want to talk anymore about it because they would blow it.

I don't want to talk about Anything that happens because I just think it was spoiled it but I would say I can talk about the opening scenes and the settings in Mississippi back in the day In a you know in a black community and it reminded me of a guy that I talked to that started the

the Black Museum of Milwaukee.

And he wrote a book and talked about that this kind of gets into that area of lynchings in the 20s and 30s and people fearing the Klan back then.

And he was actually taken out of town, strung up on a tree, and somehow survived a lynching and wrote a book about it.

So it reminded me of that.

I see it.

It's artsy.

It's different.

It's got a different ending, but it moves along.

It moves along.

No question.

And what you just said, too, is great because it is different.

It's not a Marvel movie.

It's not a franchise.

It's the zone.

Ryan Cougar's Visiony wrote it, directed it.

It's got great sets, great music.

Michael B. Jordan plays Smoke and Stack, two twins.

About

three-fourths through it.

You look at yourself and say, is this really happening?

Yeah,

yeah.

You're on it.

But it stays to it.

Yeah.

Song sung blue.

For me, personally,

So in the 80s, I'm on the radio, unlike in my early 20s, and the Big Chill movie came out.

And there was this huge wave of throwback to the 50s and 60s and 70s music on the radio.

And so it was very popular to play that on the radio.

And then we had all these artists from Chuck Berry to the Righteous Brothers to Dion coming back and coming through Milwaukee.

And I got to introduce all those shows and get to know those guys.

and then in the nineties then they put me on the mix in the walkie and i was doing more top forty stuff like you know nickleback and you know christen aguilar and whatever and so i i i i would i wasn't doing i i i was following all these tribute shows like mark shrill and buddy holly tom green and his Elvis act at state fair at summer fest at clubs and stuff and in the nineties i moved on to more contemporary stuff there was this

you know, Neil Diamond, Patsy Klein, you know, Lightning and Thunder thing, and I'm like, man, I've been there, done that.

I saw him one time, Stifler, and they're okay.

Well, anyway, I go to the theater and watch this thing, and I'm like, I knew all those other guys, like the Mark Shirley character and the Elvis character.

I knew all these other people, except for Lightning and Thunder, but I think it's a great movie.

It's really well done.

and irreparate you know some people they might have been like like with cancer state fair no they shot it in new york and you know about the production costs and all that

sir

just understand you know that the exact names of the bars like liquid johnny's and the brother places in milwaukee those guys used to play you know that they don't use the real names but the story is there and it's i think it's great and kate hudson unbelievable

and Oscar nominated now, and I'm embarrassed to say I still have not seen this film, but I've heard nothing but great things, and I want to see it.

You'll love it.

Yeah, I want to see it for the Wisconsin angle, and just because I've heard it's a remarkable film, so... Yeah,

you'll love it.

Great stuff.

And you

appreciate it.

Yeah, thank you, Mike.

Always fun to talk to you, and yeah, let's connect with you next week from Radio Row.

I think that's so fun,

but... I'll call you from the Super Bowl next week, pal.

All right, pal.

Have a safe trip, and have a great night.

Thanks, Pete.

All right, you got it.

That's Mike Clemens, folks.

Check out.

He's a great follow at Mike Clemens NFL.

Is that where he posted the deer thing?

No, I saw that one on Facebook.

Okay.

Very funny stuff.

Always love talking to Mike.

All right, when we come back next hour, Chip Chinary will be here from Chips Money Tips and Sean Cassidy in hour number three.

Won't want to miss that, folks.

Our question of the night is, who would you like to be your mentor?

We are coming right back.

It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight.

New sports and weather is next.

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 doesn't have 20-20 vision, even in hindsight, Pete Chwaba.

Welcome back.

I am Pete Schwabba, and it is great to have you here, folks.

Thank you for being part of Nightlight on this gorgeous Monday night here in the beautiful state of Wisconsin, where is it?

At least in Green Bay, it's a, I would say a balmy 10.

But that's better than what we had this past weekend.

So hopefully the days get a little longer, slowly but surely, and the temperatures will start to creep up at some point in the meantime.

Let's all just hang out on the radio together and talk about the things in life that make us feel good, like movies and TV and music and comedy and all the great things, the gifts we have together.

If you missed our number one, Mike Clemens joined us and talked to us a little bit about the Super Bowl.

He will be on radio row next week down in or out in Santa Clara, I should say.

Beautiful setting for this year's Super Bowl between the Seahawks.

And the Patriots should be a good game kind you got a favorite you're kind of a sport you like a good sports contest You like to slap fives with your friend while you watch a sports contest.

What do you what do you make of this Super Bowl?

I'm very happy that it's not you know Eagles against Chiefs or Chiefs against 49ers

for sure.

Yeah,

I'm

glad it's something different I'm gonna root for Sam Darnold

same

just cuz his story.

Yep, and But I can't say that I hate the Patriots.

I think they got

Drake may is a good quarterback in the playoffs.

He's been kind of shaky, but that defense that they have is Crazy

not quite ready to anoint Drake may is the next Tom Brady just yet.

No, not even definitely good That's Tom

Brady,

right?

Yeah, if it may be if Drake may wins seven Super Bowls I'll say okay if you you know

look if he wins two or three I'll be like okay.

He's pretty good.

Yeah, I mean but it is cool to see someone who's not

Not won a Super Bowl to win one this year.

Yeah, just as a quarterback standpoint I should

say exactly and Donald's a great story Heisman Trophy winner all this hype coming out of college.

It was kind of considered a bust for a while How crappy do the Vikings feel now?

I mean are you kind of Chris Casper must be?

Just down there in Madison at the knock rolling over on that couch all over they like can't That would drive me crazy if I were Chris or a Vikings fan,

you know, I just can't believe they let him go like

Well, it's crazy me that they like he had a great season for the Vikings

and they went nine and eight this year the Vikings, but if you have Donald I Mean, what are you twelve and five or I

would say so

who knows you know, that's uh, well, you know,

they They lost the Sam Darnold and did not get a good replacement.

No, they did not

If you did miss hour number one folks, check it out at civicmedia.us.

All our shows are catalogued in podcast form there.

You can hear my interview with Mike and his take on the Super Bowl and the Packers new defensive coordinator and all kinds of fun stuff.

He talked about Conrad and I also covered a guy who climbed a skyscraper with no ropes, no CGI.

No, nothing except sticky shoes, 101 stories or something insane like that.

We had kind of a fun opening as we got back at it here for this week.

So check that out in hour number one as well.

My guests tonight still coming up here in hour number two.

Chip Chinnery will be here at 635.

Chip is the founder of Chips Money Tips.

He is a former stand of comedian and actor and has done quite well for himself out there in Los Angeles, California.

in some parts known as Hollywood.

But Chip is, he's one of these guys Conrad that like would buy a property and rent it out and then he's just making money on what he's are.

He's making a profit.

Like I've always been scared to do that.

Like I feel like if I bought something and rented it out, people would trash it or I wouldn't be able to get the rent and then I'd still owe four grand a month.

It's kind of terrifying but Chip has done really well with that stuff and he's got great tips for people just.

in ways to save money in their everyday lives.

So he will be here at 6.35 and we'll talk to him about some of his TV credits as an actor too.

He's been on Seinfeld and Friends and got tons of credits and it's just an all-around good guy and a pretty damn good poker player too, I have to say.

And then in hour number three, I don't know what kind of a poker player he is, but Sean Cassidy will be here, the pop legend who, pardon me, has gone on.

way past his pop, you know, teen idol career and done some really amazing things in Hollywood, including something that, you know, is strictly for a good cause, which we'll talk about with Sean as well, that involves wine.

So that'll be fun.

It'll be great to talk about.

to Sean about his dates coming up here in Wisconsin next month, too.

So we'll do all of that.

And, Con, I think right now we need to reintroduce our question of the night.

Conrad, have you ever stolen anything out of a hotel?

Like, more specifically out of a hotel room?

I wouldn't say stole because like, I paid for a night there, so I deserve some

of their soaps.

I deserve their soaps.

Or their mini fridge.

I deserve their pillows.

Okay.

No, actually, I don't want their pillows.

You don't want the pillows.

No.

But I'll take the TV remote.

Why not?

I

paid for the room.

You paid for the room?

And to rent the room?

Why would you steal a remote control?

Can you reprogram those things?

No, I just want the batteries.

Well, just take the batteries and leave the remote.

Be a sport.

This is from Deluxe Holiday Homes.

The top things we steal from hotel rooms include towels, hangers, and remote controls.

I just can't see it stealing a towel from that from a hotel room because they're so small compared to like true.

I like the ones that like are huge.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know.

But a lot of hotels don't probably maybe for that reason.

And here's the interesting thing.

Like when I'm in a hotel, I usually stay in a hotel once, maybe twice a month.

And I tend to use when I'm at home, I have one towel that I use for like a week and then I wash it because it's starting to get stiff.

But when I'm in a hotel, I use, I don't know, 17 towels

in

one night.

Somehow I find a reason to use all of them.

Even though I don't think I've ever used a washcloth at home.

But in a hotel, I just need to dry my hands.

Oh, I'll take that right there.

I mean, it's really kind of strange.

Yeah, you know, if I take like two showers, you know, at a hotel, I'll use a different one for the second time.

The second towel, right.

I'll use a different towel.

Yeah.

No, I get it.

Well, most of the time, like I would use the same towel, but typically I've thrown it on the floor and I'm not going to reuse that.

Maybe I was, if I anticipate another shower though, I'll use the same towel, but sometimes you don't.

And they do say, tell us if you want your sheets washed because let's save water.

If you don't, we won't wash them.

And I respect that.

But yeah, I don't know what it is.

I use all kinds of towels.

But it says, I will say, I'll come clean too.

The only thing I've ever stolen from a hotel room, aside from the little mini shampoos and soaps or body lotion that they want you to take, I take those and I bring them home to my wife and the shower caps.

That's kind of like our thing.

When I started doing stand-up in my early to mid-20s, I would bring home just as a weird thing, like the shower caps.

from my wife.

Here's a shower cap, and it got to be a thing.

And I don't even know if people use shower caps anymore, but they still have them in hotels.

It's like a retro thing, so I still bring them to my wife.

But aside from those things, I've taken maybe a couple coffee cups, because I think like, it's not like they encourage it, but like, I think they are okay with that, because it's swag, and I love a good coffee cup.

Yeah, I can see that.

I mean, I feel like the last times I've been to...

Hotel room that has coffee in in the in the room.

It's like

a plastic cup or something

true Yeah, if you stay at nice for hotels like I stay at a little higher class So I have numerous coffee cups at my house that say red roof in on them No, but I've stayed at nice hotels where I did like the coffee cup, but you're right typically now It's like you get paper cups or styrofoam cups or whatever Yeah,

you know I won't take those probably

It's not worth the

There's no swag on that.

It's not worth the spillage.

Towels, 88% of hotel workers say they're stolen a lot.

That doesn't surprise me.

Bathrobes, you're not usually allowed to take them.

Even at resorts or hotels with a spa, but people do.

Hangers, a lot of places now have the kind you cannot take off of the bar.

Because people stole those nice wood.

I've seen

those I've seen those yeah,

yeah toiletries that aren't meant to be taken and I at first I was like come on the little shampoo bottles.

No They're talking about the big shampoo and conditioner strapped to the wall People are taking those.

Yeah That's a stretch.

Yeah

Blankets this is disgusting that is gross 36% say they are stolen a lot

Oh, man.

You know what I'm lacking in my house?

Blankets with other people's sperm on them.

That's what I want.

Let me go to a hotel and take the blankets.

Are you serious?

I'm like, and it's kind of sad because maybe that's how desperate some people are.

I don't think seven

times in the washer would let me be okay with using

that.

No.

Pillows, 32% say, 32% of the hotel workers say that hotels are

Okay with that, but they'll charge you But you could also it says you could also buy a new one that hasn't been drooled on by 500 people That makes sense hair dryers come out people hair dryers those aren't meant to be stolen Pens I've taken a few pens Dishes most hotels have water glasses some have kitchenettes with plates and silverware like if you're going to practice thievery

Just admit you're taking it, but don't act like I'm pretty sure this hotel wants me to have these ceramic plates And of course the remote control here are a few other things that people took Hotel workers have seen people steal light bulbs rolls of toilet paper I Will admit I took a roll of toilet paper once from a hotel because that a cold and I just wanted it in my car.

I thought that was kind of forgivable lamps

Oh, that lamp that says roadway in on it is gonna look good in my living room.

Can opener's irons and 1% have seen trash cans go missing.

Wow, people will just steal anything.

On some level, I find that kind of funny that people just take liberties like that, like they're meant to steal these things.

Makes me laugh.

All right, so we are gonna read some of your texts coming up in just a few moments.

You know, I have this, we live pretty close to the water in Marinette.

And the bay is frozen over Green Bay And every year they have these races these guys go out in their cars And they make a big track And they circle it and they skid all over the place and it is like It's I call it the yahoo 500 or the mullet motorway But they have these races and a few years ago they set up lights out on the ice And as much as it's not my thing I kind of admired these guys for being out there this past weekend And how much they must love

Just doing donuts on ice to be able to go out in those temperatures and do that.

That's insane.

But hey, you know what?

It's winter activity in Christmas City, USA, also known as Marinette, Wisconsin.

All right.

When we come back, folks, we're going to read your texts and find out who you want your mentors to be.

It's Pete Schwabba in Nightlight on the Civic Media radio

network.

Welcome

back.

Hey, this is Pete Schwabba in Night Light.

Great to have you here, folks.

Really fun show tonight.

Coming up in just a few minutes after the news, my pal Chip Chinnery will be here.

Chip is a very funny stand-up comedian, very successful actor.

And the founder of Chip's Money Tips, a great website that can teach you things on how to waste to save money on a daily basis, good credit card deals, all that kind of stuff.

Chip will be here at 6.35.

And then at 7.35 in act three, Sean Cassidy will be here, the singer of Do Run Run and many other pop hits.

He is, I wouldn't even say reinvented himself.

He's actually on his first tour in over 40 years and the biggest tour he's ever done.

So we'll talk to Sean about that because he's got a couple of Wisconsin dates coming up in Green Bay and Madison and I'm very excited to talk to my guest in Act 3.

That will be a great time.

Our question of the night, who would you want to be your mentor if you could choose?

I said Warren Buffett or Sidney Sweeney.

Conrad said the great Mark Wahlberg.

All kinds of great mentors out there.

Brett in Brown Deer says, I take Dr. Timothy O'Leary as my mentor.

Brett wants to drop a little acid with the T-Man.

Nothing wrong with that, Brett.

Great answer.

Monica in Mount Horrib in the 608 says, not the moron.

I just saw jogging on the Ice Age trail in spandex shorts with bare legs.

I can't think of a mentor right now.

My brain must be frozen from waiting at the bus stop.

Monica, I don't know where you're going in the bus.

or how cold it is there, but I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you listening to this show while you're waiting for the bus and watching a guy in spandex in this weather.

That is troubling.

But thank you for the text.

920 Steve in Florida.

Conrad's dad says, I would have loved if Jimmy Stewart could have been my mentor.

Class act guy all his life.

Great actor, well respected and a World War II vet.

He could have taught me how to fly an airplane too.

That is a great choice Steve Jimmy Stewart you can't go wrong with Jimmy Stewart I'm always amazed to like these actors these guys that leave the acting world and have successful careers To go fight in a war Do you think that would ever happen now?

No, I

don't know No, I don't

know there are exceptions like Pat Tillman after 9-11 a successful NFL player joined up and became a ranger

Other than that, I can't think of any other.

People don't do it.

Teddy Roosevelt resigned as Undersecretary of the Navy, because he felt bad about sending men into battle, and he led the charge.

I mean, those people don't really exist anymore.

And I put Jimmy Stewart in that category.

Great text, Steve.

Jack from Merrimack says FYI.

Honnold.

Honnold.

Oh, is that his name?

Alex Honnold.

Alex Honnold, okay.

Is the only person
