is Mr. Pete Schwabba and
then
Hey, that's Pete right there.
And then I'm Greg Bach coming to you live from radio park in Racine.
So we here are having some fun, having a good time.
We got the quiz coming up in just a little bit.
Then we'll close down everything with the nightcap.
Get more of your texts, more of your messages, and we talk about what we learned tonight.
So, stick around for some great fun, but before we go any further, let's restate the question of the night.
What's the first thing you cut from your budget when money is tight?
Again, let us know by calling or texting 855-752-484-2855-757.
You can leave a comment on our live stream and you can also text call.
via the Civic Media app.
Love to hear from you.
And there's also another great way you can get in touch with us.
Nightlight at civicmedia.us.
N-I-T-E-L-I-T-E at civicmedia.us.
Let us know your thoughts on the show.
Give us a guest idea, topic idea.
We read them all.
We appreciate your feedback.
So Pete, when the budget is tight and the belt needs to be tightened, what about you?
What happens?
What's the first thing?
What's the first luxury?
Is that go away?
It's kind of
OK.
That's interesting.
OK.
I would have to go with probably like, we actually did this last year.
We decided to make some financial, you know, cuts, nothing bad.
We're fine.
But part of the reason why we wanted to stay fine is because we realized what we were spending money on was streaming services, eating out and coffee trips.
Those were the big ones we had to cut down on.
We still go out to eat every once in a while and we still enjoy a coffee, but it's not two, three, four, five, six times a week.
So
For us, it's like those things because we have coffee at home.
We have plenty of movies we can watch.
We have food in our refrigerator.
And honestly, especially now, none of the shows are even current.
So cutting out streaming for me is easy because, you know, that is too many.
there's a
on the shows,
Because again, I mean, I'm not watching those streaming networks when I'm not, when I don't have shows to watch, I'm not rerunning whatever.
But yeah, I mean, it's,
It's a real thing and we've seen a lot of people responding on this question as well because it's I mean as you said the article that that prompted this question is CEOs and like billionaire Business owners are saying yeah Americans are broke.
They don't have enough money and we're seeing it in our Dollars going down too because people are making tough decisions.
So
remember exactly that was from the that was regard to Bruce Springsteen the song yeah yeah I mean because that's what happens we see this all the time we see Republican candidates having big rallies playing these songs and then the next day saying hey don't do that you didn't ask permission stop playing my music and yeah every five years someone gets incensed over born in the USA
it's
It ain't me.
I know Senator Sun.
Yeah.
And yeah, the fortunate son.
And they say, oh, it's anti-military.
No, he's saying rich kids don't have to serve.
You should be on his side.
He's saying, don't send all these blue collar kids to war or young black kids or Hispanic kids.
That's what the song is about.
And poor whites, those are the ones who go fight in wars.
So get your facts straight before you judge my favorite
That's when you really
hit it.
Like if you go to public schools and I was a big believer in public schools, even though I went to a Catholic school, I want public schools to work.
And we were committed to that.
My wife teaches in public schools and has taught in public schools in LA and a Catholic school in Chicago.
But yeah, education is way too expensive.
Wow.
a $200 million piece of property there, but they can't get tax certainty and they would pay higher taxes.
I know they would pay higher taxes than anybody in the NFL if they went there.
They're not getting any help from the Illinois legislature downtown, which is where they should be.
Cause it's the most beautiful view of any stadium in the thing.
And they can't figure that out because the McCasky's have been bullied by a park district for decades.
I was like, wait a minute, what?
Laugh emoji and then streaming subscriptions on point.
Our Palomanda Nimmer, our social media guru here at Civic Media says, budgets tight as is, I start selling my stuff instead.
That's another option.
Tim on Facebook says, true answer, going out to eat.
Wise guy answer, feeding the hobo who lives in our basement.
Is that your kid?
Well, they're taking someone in either way, whether it's
That was a shot at me.
That's Andrew Brown.
I've known that guy for like 30 years.
He knows how much I love a telecaster and I do not.
I will, I will sooner, I will sooner sell my TVs before I get rid of my guitars.
Appreciate.
Yes, they do.
And I appreciate my guitars.
So thank you very much.
All right, folks.
We got to take a really quick break, but when we come back,

And
not to rub salt in the wound, but one of those I kind of gave away because I, but anyway, that's neither here nor there.

I guess we run a different server.
Great!
Yes, I have four of them at home right now.
I've named them all.
One is Pete, one is Dom, one is Tucker, and the other one is...

I wanted to say I wanted to try to remember the name that David Zucker said like a Framus.
Oh, we have that play that Framus.
Yeah, Framus.
Yeah, Framus.
Yep, just took myself right to the edge for that joke and just fell right off there.
All right Thank you everyone who got in touch with us.

Brent
Yeah, culture critic.
That's pretty sweet.
And I learned that people still do not understand the song, Born in the USA, which Springsteen, that guy you said said he was duped.
He didn't put it in Braille or in a secret code.
The words are right out there.
So I'm flabbergasted by people who like that.
No,
Let's see.
What did I learn?
I mean, I love, I love the fact that, uh, that Norm Capesca is going to be having a great event this weekend to benefit our veterans who always need help, who always deserve our help, who always deserve the best in my opinion.
