Okay, question.

Okay, I have a question.
Questions.
This question.
Question.
Questions.
in yet another bid to find some sort of attention President Trump or I should say the people who love him so much want to put his face on a non-existent $250 bill, which goes against laws and things like that.
But the question we want to ask you is whose face would you like to see on a commemorative $250 bill?
There's no laws at stake here.
You can put whomever you'd like.
You can put yourself.
You can put friends, family.
You can put, I don't know.
The Chupacabra, for all we care, doesn't matter.
Whatever you want, it's your choice.
Call our text, 855-752-4842, 855-755-CIVIC.
Again, leave a comment on the live stream where we are streaming at the Facebook, at the YouTube, and the Twitter.
So, Pete, what about you?
Who would you put on a commemorative $250 bill?
The easy ones for me are Jimmy Carter.
I'm also a big Teddy Roosevelt fan.
Abraham Lincoln, you can make a case for.
But I'm going with the king of salad dressings, Paul Newman or Sidney Portier.
I'm going actor and decent people who've done a lot for their fellow human in addition to brought a ton to the art world.
And those are my two or Bruce Springsteen.
So those are my three, actually.
I've
I'm trying.
There was I had a list and I can't find it anymore.
But like I'm honestly part of the reason part of the reason I picked certain people would just be to annoy other people like we're so hepped up about Donald Trump on the $250 bill, which to me is just so.
Gross.
I'm like, you know what?
Let's put a bunch of people they would really dislike like each in Carol Let's put her on the 250.
I want to put a whole host of people all of Trump's enemies.
That's what I would love, you know from his first wife to Hey, you know what?
You know what we need to do guys.
Here's a great idea.
Here's a good day Donald take a little Donald Trump, Jr.
Could you imagine that would
Why not a great actor?
Why not a great humanitarian who believed in everyone's rights?
Yeah, why not?
We got some other live stream comments to Daniel Barry sports highlights 5851 says what's up all happy Friday.
Hey, buddy.
Happy Friday.
Let's see what else we got here.
JB Thompson on the live stream says rock and roll agreed.
JB Thompson
Bring on the night light.
Yeah.
Like in place of Thunder Road or something.
Absolutely.
Let's get on that.
Let's get him to sing that.
What do we have on the text line for answer?
Oh, actually, I'm sorry.
I take that back.
Let's get to a phone call we have right now.
Bob in West Dallas has an answer for us.
Bob.
Good evening.
Welcome to Nightlight.
What is your suggestion for the $250 bill?
Yeah, it is.
Greg and Pete over there?
Yeah, it's Bob.
Yeah, hey, Bob.
Hey, hey, Bob down in West Dallas.
Listen, I had to go through county stadium with the Packers before they went to Green Bay.
I had to go through misery for years.
put Brett Barb on the $250 bill for all my pain and suffering of watching the passers-by county stadium for all those years.
How's that sound for your boys?
All answers
like Bob would just give him money.
Hey, Pete and Greg, listen, he can take the $250 from me because he gave me a Super Bowl that I was waiting for.
the package were the worst team in the league for 30 years.
So he can take my 250.
Hey, he can even take my wife out on a date.
I don't care.
And bring me some cheese curds and I'm good to go.
I don't think,
And it should be like, you know, go America.
No, it's a picture of Bob.
And then above it is just like a thought bubble.
He says, go Packers.
Exactly.
I love that.
Thank you so much, Bob for calling.
And that was, by the way, the most West Dallas call that's ever happened.
So
Don, what do we have on the text line from the people out there in the world who want to let us know their thoughts?
Uh, we've got, uh, wow, great.
Some great answers.
Uh, Kristen Dassler, alfime says, might as well be Alfred E Newman at this point.
That's good.
She put a poster of mag, mad magazine.
Our pal Boris says guy fury.
Sure.
Why not?
Uh, Josh Stewart says probably the guy from perfect strangers.
I don't know if he means Belki Bartakemoose or Larry Appleton, but

I'm gonna have to shut out.
Yep, I knew I was gonna be wrong.
I knew is too many in a row that would be okay.

I feel like if we go some, if you Google that, I bet you it appears on some chain restaurant in America.
Someone put all of those words together in a dartboard and be like, that's the name of it now.
I like John Murray goes, these are bad products.
