Real Milwaukee | October 16, 2026

Oh, that just feels so good. I still get the chills. I've got goosebumps right now without a doubt. And you didn't have to be in Los Angeles last night to feel the excitement over the Brewers' NL championship win. They beat the Dodgers. And you know what? They got that early lead in the game. And a lot of people were worried, you know, when they were down four. But the Brewers turned things around, turned it up, was coached there. And they were down 4-0, as I said, in the fourth inning. Patience, speed took over. Brewers got five walks in the fourth and fifth inning, along with two stolen bases. So this is the kind of ball they've been playing all year long. They continue to play it. In last night's game, two ground rule doubles, and that all adds up, right? And Garrett Mitchell, then, with a go-ahead homer in the sixth. Wow. I mean, just seeing the faces, the emotions, hearing the crowd, and seeing them back home, what it was like, all of that accumulating to this. Man. This momentous occasion. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's adding to the electricity of the city, you know? From the West Coast to the Third Coast, people were turning up everywhere. I mean, this is a night, a moment that no one's ever going to forget this. No, it's going down in history, not only for the team, for the fans, for us here at the station. It's also going down in history for Brandon Cruz. He's been covering the NLCS for us out in Los Angeles. He's there now. Brother, I can imagine what you're feeling as you've been covering this team for years now. I think it's just a very special time for Brewers fans and for the Brewers organization, obviously. I mean, 44 years they've been waiting for this moment, and now it's here. And what's really cool about this group, they're not done. Yes, they had a huge celebration last night that was so fun for them, and it was such a celebration of accomplishment. But they still have to get four more wins to become the world champs, and that has never been done with the Milwaukee Brewers. It happened in Milwaukee with the Braves, but not the Brewers. The Brewers got to the World Series in 1982, losing in seven games to the St. Louis Cardinals. And now they're back, and they're just hoping that they can give this fan base a special moment that has never been celebrated before in Milwaukee. And a really big reason for the success of this team, obviously, they're really talented players. But as Pat Murphy said last night on the stage, he called, you know, all the Hall of Famers on the Dodgers. Well, he's got a bunch of gamers, and they show that night in and night out. You talked about coming from behind last night. They did that, and the reason that happens for this team so often is because they are so close. They are tight-knit, and it does start with Murphy. He spoke about how close this group is after this celebratory win. Well, a lot of winning and a lot of, you know, when you get closer and closer to your goals, you know that that brings about a lot of happiness and guys you know support each other even more but these guys were doing it when you know we're 16 and 14 in April you know so i think it's you know a special group and it starts with Yellie and uh the way he embraces everyone the way he leads i think he's the he's the key, he's our captain and that's what is really special about this is You know, Christian Yelich was named a captain of the Brewers late in the season. That had never happened in this organization's history. He is the first captain, and if you think about it, Robin Yount is what would come to mind, especially from that 82 team, the two MVPs. And Christian Yelich did reach out to Yount about that before accepting being named the captain. And I think that shows you how unselfish this group is, And it's not about me, it's about the we, and that's why they won 103 games and now have 110 wins so far in this season. You listen to any interview, Brandon, these guys will say, you know, it wasn't about me, it wasn't about the season, oh, this was a team win. They really believe that, and it shows not only, you know, kind of behind the scenes, but on the field as well. I wanted to ask you, because I think going into this matchup, it's a similar set of, or a familiar set of circumstances, right? We saw something similar last year, but the outcome could not have been more different. You've been following this team since spring training. We've got to ask you, from where you're standing, what's different with this team this year? Confidence. They are a confident group, and they believe in themselves. You know, Ted Lasso, they have the believe sign up above their locker room. I wouldn't be surprised if there's something actually like that with the Brewers somewhere. They do have a win tonight sign in their clubhouse. But that's what it is. They believe in themselves. They believe in the unit collectively. And they know that the guy next to them is going to pick them up. Think about game three. Abner Uribe did not pitch well. But all of a sudden, all the other guys came in and did their job. D.L. Hall, everybody else. And they win that game. And nobody was hanging their head with Abner Uribe. It was just, it wasn't his night. But the other guys came along and did it. And that's how this season's gone. It's everybody doing something to help the guy next to him, and in the end, it generally produces wins. No kidding. Brandon, can you take us inside, like, what it was like, what the celebration was like? Take us inside there. Celebration for the team, the fans. What was it like being there? It's cool. It's a sensory overload. When we walk in, there's kind of a circuitous route to get to the clubhouse at Dodger Stadium. In that visitor's clubhouse, you go down these stairs, and then you kind of go through a maze. And you can start, the sound starts getting louder and louder as you get closer to the clubhouse, as does the aroma. You can smell the champagne and the beer and the cigar smoke very early on, well before you breach the door. And then when you breach the door, there's all this plastic hanging down to protect the clubhouse as best you can in a situation like that. But then it's so loud, the music's playing, the guys are singing, they're hugging, they're spraying each other left and right. And, you know, when you're trying to interview them, beer's being poured on their head, champagne's being sprayed on their face. You know, it's really a unique moment, and it's something that those guys deserve, and they clearly have had a lot of fun with these three of them so far this year. What a memory you have, Brandon. We're seeing that footage, too, Brandon. I mean, just being inside there. I have to ask you about your wardrobe. Did you just throw those clothes away after you got back to the hotel? They're in the hotel, and they are airing out the best they can before they're going to be tied up in a plastic bag and tucked away in a suitcase away from everything else. Brandon was telling us earlier that he's on his second shower already today. I bet. And he still smells like beer and champagne. Hey, it's the smell of victory. Brandon will take it. Yeah, without a doubt. And I know that there's plenty more to come, Brandon, too. You had said this really eloquently. It's not about the me. It's about the we. If you could separate it, you know what it's like to be part of a team here at Fox 6 because you've been here for quite some time. Were you able to, once the champagne and beer stopped flowing and you turned the microphone off, did you absorb some of that feeling of the win as a fan at any point yesterday? Well, I mean, I've always loved sports. I mean, this is the passion I have. This is why I do what I do. Baseball has always been my favorite. And, you know, just to see it unfold the way it has this year, that's what's been special. I, you know, to me, it's covering this group is great, trying to give, you know, the viewers at home an inside look at who these guys are and what they do and what they're about is what we try to do. And so, you know, it's definitely special to watch. but as a baseball fan it's very cool I grew up in northern California so to watch a team beat the Dodgers wasn't so bad for me but you know it's one of those things that to me this is their moment we just you know get to kind of provide you some insight and get their thoughts and and as a sports fan it's always cool to see I I don't care who's winning normally it's just fun to see it. And I'm so glad it's the Brewers because Milwaukee deserves it. This group deserves it. And it shows you how special they are from the top down. Mark Attanasio, the owner, has put together a great group. Matt Arnold picks the right guys every single year to build this team. I mean, they've gone to the playoffs now eight of the last nine years, and now they're finally at the World Series. I mean, this is special. Yeah, definitely special. The New York Times did a really excellent article this morning on how we got to this point this was really something that wasn't that just happened in the last year although it feels that way I think um to fans you know because last year obviously things did end differently um but it really started with drafting Christian Yelich that's when they really started to shape this team the starting lineup then the dugout you know this is something that we've been working on for years and it's just so fun to watch Brandon Bruce thank you for everything I know you got like what four hours of sleep last night, so we're going to let you go take a little nap. Maybe you can sleep on the plane on the way home. Excellent work out there. Thank you. Thank you, guys. So fun. This is really fun. This is fun, too. There's a smell to this. I did get a smell. I can't smell it. It's not a bad smell. It's nostalgia. It's an old library smell. Do you want to take it with you? And hence, with that in mind, there are some pages there. Oh, this is so cool. I love that. right here this stuff are the last time from the last time that the brewers were victorious champions in the AL this is Mark Krieger's personal stash look at this i gotta say here if you're a brewer fan and you were alive at this point you had a pennant like that you saw that Journal Sentinel or the Sentinel i should say you saw the journal actually had a different one as well uh both of them that mark has dropped off at the desk for us to see the shirt uh the shirt you know and look at that i want that recreated for 2026 i think that would be a fun design to have come on for people who don't know mark krieger works at our assignment desk he's a die hard Brewers fan and um this is why i think we saw so many people rushing to the team store last night you know they were throwing out t-shirts like they were hot cakes yes um sam had a really fun kind of a story that he did where you can just see them saying like who is small who needs small we want a medium got a medium like they're throwing shirts at people because you you'll save it and you can remember it for moments like that later i mean people i wish i wish newspapers were still printed like this me too and because on days like yesterday people would cut this out or save the front page and frame it perhaps and keep it for generations until their own children can look at it displayed in their own home yeah i'm just loving seeing the other headlines like yeah sandra d from digit days to now it's just fun at a time when milwaukee had two newspapers because that's the way we consumed our news i know it was one of the many ways it just goes to show like the history and the legacy here you know this morning i was talking to um our milwaukee county executive because you know guys it wasn't a couple years ago that on this very show we were talking a lot yeah about how we were at risk of losing the brewers they were negotiating their lease there was some thought or there was a chance that they could leave um obviously we don't have to worry about that now we're renewed until 2050 um but it kind of goes to show like it's you can you cannot even fathom now the city the state without this team so i'm so glad that they're still with us it's a cinderella story it is a cinderella story i love that. I don't know if you guys can see this, too, but this was typical with pennants. You put the little pins up there on the corners. One, two, three. You got your pinholes, and Mark placed them over the same pinhole every single time. You can see it used to be white, too. Faded over time. That gives it its character. That is character. 44 years ago, guys. Somebody else pointed out on social media, and I thought it was interesting. Hank Aaron played for the Milwaukee Brewers as well as the Braves number 44 and it was 44 years since the Brewers have been in there and somebody said I think Hank knew you know just it's things like that that are all going the right way and we hope you know somebody put a beer out by Euchre statue last night I mean you know this one's for Bob all of these things those people that were here the first time that got to enjoy seeing them there never got to see them finish it and I think this is the year and I think you're right and I I think, you know, you talked, too, about just the economic impact that we're going to see, guys, in the next couple of weeks. Every playoff game that we've had here would bring in millions of dollars. We're talking billions. I don't think people know this. It's not a well-known fact. But with the way the MLB works and how they do their taxes, every time a player, any player, plays a game here, they pay state income tax in Wisconsin. So for every, so that's what I, this team is huge for us. So there's a huge financial impact. There are jobs here. And it's so, yes, of course, it's emotion, it's morale, it's spirit, it's our culture. But it's also a lot more than that. It's our livelihood, too. So I'm just, I'm so happy for us that this is going to continue and that we're going to continue to reap the benefits of something we have worked decades together. I kind of want to break out some of the old stuff that I have tucked away at home, too. Do it. You should. Show and tell on Monday. I don't know if I want to show, tell, and drink out of one of the cups. But there's some nostalgia tucked away in the basement. I don't want to drink anywhere near any of this stuff. I got to tell Krieger, he's got to put this in casing because I feel like I don't want to smudge it. I know. I don't want to be at risk of tearing or something. I know. But somebody out there, I would love if the Brewers recreated that logo with, you know, 2026. All right. So, clearly we have something to look forward to with the World Series. The schedule is pretty much set here, except for the team that the Brewers are going to be playing. Looking ahead now to the World Series, whoever wins the AL Championship Series is going to be at AmFam Field next Friday on the 23rd for Game 1 of the World Series. Then Game 2 is Saturday on the 24th. The series will then move to the home of the AL champion for Games 3 and 4. If necessary, I don't know, I mean, I was the one that said six games out of this first one. I was clearly wrong. I think Sarah had said, you know, Brewers in eight. That can definitely still happen here. If necessary, Game 5 will be Wednesday the 28th on the road. And the series would then shift back to Milwaukee for a 6-7, if necessary, on the 30th and 31st. I know we talked about this, the possibility of there being a Halloween World Series game. Super fun just to think about that. But also I think, you know, a lot of fans are getting ready for the next phase. The team is getting ready. They have time to recover from last night's party. And then it's game time. Well, normally I think they fly back after their games. They're sleeping in today. I think they're flying in this evening. For good reason, huh? Yeah. I love this. Well, we've got to talk about those ticket prices, guys, because we know all eyes are on those. We took a look at where prices stand for World Series Game 1 tickets. As you can see, it is going to cost you. Okay, so tickets across various sites are starting anywhere from around $2,000 to $2,200. So maybe you want to make that an early Christmas, birthday, Valentine's Day present all in one. Combo gifts. Exactly. All the graduation gifts. Yes. Don, we were talking about that this morning a little bit. To me, no judgment from this girl. It costs what it costs. Yeah, totally. Some people are into trips. Some people are into purses, cars. If you're into the Brewers, I'm all for it. Spend it. Going back to this, though, 1982, tickets then were $8 for standing room, $12 to get a seat. So things have changed in that department as well. A couple of zeros got tacked on. And I got to say, I was lucky enough as an eight-year-old to go to the game, one of the games at County Stadium when the Brewers played the Cardinals. It was game five. I believe they lost. So I will not be going to any games because I don't want to jinx anybody. Well, you know, there are some great watch parties at home. There you go. There it is. All right. More real Milwaukee, excuse me, will return right after the break. Stay with us and continue celebrating like these guys. Oh, look at that. We need our own champagne. Sparkling, I should say here. Everybody, welcome back to Real Milwaukee. Hey, consider your weekend booked. Over 50 galleries are opening their doors tomorrow and Saturday for Gallery Night MKE, and you should probably check it out. We have no reason not to. I was planning on maybe watching the Brewers tonight, maybe Sunday night, but now, Jordan, we've got to make other plans because there's no games for us to watch, at least no Brewers games. Good morning to you. Exactly. Jordan DeChambre joining us live from the Historic Third Ward Association with everything we need to know about Gallery Night. All right, Jordan, first question for you. What is Gallery Night for folks who have never heard of it? Yeah, absolutely. So Gallery Night MKE is Milwaukee's original gallery hopping event. So believe it or not, it is celebrating 40 years next year. So, so exciting that, you know, this really amazing event that's all about art and creativity has been happening for that long and still has the most incredible following. So essentially what happens is galleries and other venues throughout the city open up their doors, come in, meet the artists, see some amazing art, talk to the gallery owners, and just really have a fantastic weekend of getting inspired. And I think, you know, feeling a little less intimidated by art than sometimes we might do if we just kind of stumble into a gallery any day of the week. This is such a cool, organized space for all of this. There's about, what, 60 galleries, Jordan? How do folks know kind of where to start participating? Yeah, I know. It can be a little bit overwhelming, I think, for everyone. So we have, I believe, 58 participating galleries this fall. um the best thing you can do is go to gallery night mke.com and what that is going to do is separate where these participating venues are by neighborhood so places like the historic third ward or walkers point east town the west side wherever it is that you might be looking for inspiration you can kind of plan your night and day based by what you're seeing in those neighborhoods i always think it's interesting to approach it one of two ways either pick a neighborhood and that's what you're going to do on Friday night or a different neighborhood on Saturday or really look through and and take a look at the pictures of all the art and what the actual exhibitions are and then plan your trip around that there's a really cool exhibition I want to see in Walker's Point I'm going to go there first but then I'm going to you know jump on over to the to the third ward to see something else I want to see so you really have a couple different ways that you can choose your own adventure you know we're seeing a lot of pictures of galleries, but, you know, not all the stops are actually galleries. So there are some places in there that are just switching up the vibe a little bit, right? Absolutely. You know, one of the things that we try to do with Gallery Night is really welcome artists from the Milwaukee area to display their artworks. Now, not every artist is associated with a gallery. So we wanted to try to find spaces for them to be able to display their art. And that is where places like hotels and boutiques, even the Third Ward Beer Garden, come into play because they are able to get involved and host an artist in their space and really showcase, you know, what this incredible talent is right here in Milwaukee. So I always say, check out places like the Pfister Hotel and the St. Kate Hotel. They always have really incredible gallery night exhibitions. And then also, you know, different restaurants and boutiques in the area as well. I know tomorrow The District Row here in the Third Ward at Women's Boutique is bringing in a really excellent jewelry designer that they are showcasing. So there's different places that you can visit and have a really unique experience that is outside of the typical gallery experience. But at the same time, I would certainly never, you know, I would never ask anyone to not go to a traditional gallery because I think that is where you can learn the most about art. talking to the people who are curating it for those spaces they are just a wealth of knowledge i will say this that i'm sorry that we're we wouldn't didn't cover it today you know we're going on jordan usually i'm down there with you and i love that the artists are approachable at their galleries and it's not just them talking to their friends or other artists they're very open and having those conversations with those that are walking through. It's so true. And Brian, you've done such an incredible job of covering this event for us on site on Friday mornings. And you've gotten a chance to share those stories and you realize how impactful they are. I mean, so many of these artists and these gallery owners, their journey to get where they are today is absolutely incredible. And you want to talk about feeling inspired. I mean, just listening to their stories, you know, people who started out as lawyers or doctors or whatever it was and ended up becoming artists because it's what made them feel the most alive. These are conversations that you get to have during Gallery Night MKE. And I think it's one of the things that makes an event like this so incredibly important. I often tell people Friday night is very much a party atmosphere for Gallery Night. But if you want to have some really longer conversations or really more of a chance to learn about individual pieces of art come out on Saturday because it's a little bit slower and it just gives you more of a chance to really learn and dig in, you know, what inspired you? Why did you curate your gallery in this way? Why did you create this piece? I mean, I think curiosity is one of the, you know, best things that, that we have, right? Being curious and getting a chance to talk to these people and letting them tell their stories is really incredible. Jordan, I have to give you all credit because one of the things I love about living in the city is that, you know, from the sports teams to our art scene, all the above, our music scene, our comedy scene, we really, I think, you know, kind of pitch above our weight, so to speak, when it comes to that. And events like this, it really makes you feel like, you know, you're in a New York or in a Chicago. You don't need to go to those places to take in this kind of culture. You can check it out right in the Third Ward. I love that. You absolutely can. Several neighborhoods, Third Ward, Walker's Point, throughout Milwaukee. And it, you know, it really is like thank you to the brewers for wrapping this up in four. We were, you know, a little concerned maybe people are going to be a little spread thin tonight if there is a Brewers game. But my phone lit up last night with people saying, go Brewers. And oh, yay for gallery night. Yeah. It sounds like everybody wins. Jordan, thank you so much for everything you do down there in the historic Fort Third Ward. Also, there are other areas, like you said, best place to go, gallerynightmke.com. We will see you down there this weekend. Thanks so much. Sounds good. Thank you. All right, guys. Well, coming up next here on Real Milwaukee, our cell phones usually aren't too far away, but could restaurants be changing the game when it comes to devices during meals? We're going to have a chat about that. Coming up next. I do. Let's go back in time, shall we, folks? You know, remember that time when restaurants used to just have smoking and non-smoking sections? And the two tables could be right next to each other. Yeah, absolutely. I guess I'm glad they split up. Well, phones and non-phone sections might be kind of the modern version of that. Some restaurant and bar owners have offered lockable phone pouches. Others are offering rewards for customers who are not pausing or not pushing their phones out during a meal, rather. So if a server asks if you'd prefer the phone or non-phone section, which one are y'all picking? No phones. It depends on who I'm going with to the restaurant. Or what you're there, like... If I'm on a date, fine, because we should be engaging anyway without looking at our phones. Yeah. Cool. But then I feel like if I'm going to the restaurant in general, I don't want my phone out. Like, I can look at my phone and eat at home. You know what I'm saying? Like, if I'm going to, I don't want to be looking at this when I'm... Yeah, that's fair. You know what? Okay, this is maybe me being weird. These are gross, too. I'm like, get them off the table. You know what I mean? I mean, they touch everything. Yeah. They're gross. You should probably wipe down the case once in a while there. My take on this is because we take our son out when we go dine out, I mean, the majority of the time. So I like the idea of the no phone thing because at home he gets the iPad once in a while during dinner. Okay. I like the idea that he needs to, like, lock it up. No devices. Yeah. then we all can enjoy the time together. And you're not the bad guy. So you can be like, hey, bud, no phones allowed here. No phone section. Fair. And the restaurant can bear the weight of that. When I'm eating with my family, be it at home or out in public, we don't do phones at the dinner table, especially at home, because we're like, that's more of an intimate gathering space, you know? And so my mom and dad are like, even at our old age, uh-uh, put the phones down. It's time for us. And I really love that and have adopted that with my own buddies. I agree. I love that. You can never stop parenting. Fair. No, no, no, exactly. I mean, you can be a parent as long as you want here. That's so true. This, so sorry, I was going to go into the next one, but I clearly know you're not. Well, yeah, so the one thing that I do do, so I pull my phone out. I'm a food selfie girl. Okay. You guys know that. If you follow me, I like to take, I love beautiful food, and I like to take pictures of beautiful food. I appreciate it. So, like, when I went to London with my sister, everywhere we went, I'm like. Were you snapping? Was she like, put that away? She thinks it's so weird. My sister is, she's an analog girl. She doesn't, she's not on any social media. And for that, I find her very mysterious and interesting. And she thinks it's so weird. And I was like, look, ma'am, this is my souvenir. I'm having a nice time with you. I want to remember this. So let me take my food picture and put my phone away. Are you guys those folks where if you're out with a group of people, your friends presumably, do you have to take a picture while you're out? I feel like I've got to cement the moment with a picture. Because I feel like the older I get, the more I want to have those memories. Not just up here, but, like, I want them to, like, look at tangibly. Like a one-and-done type thing. Yeah. I do. I think it depends. Like, I think for guys it's a little bit different. For girls, I feel like they are kind of concerned sometimes about, like, how they look. And it can almost be, like, distracting from the dinner. But I feel like when you go out with your guys, like, you guys are so cute at the table. We'll just snap it one take. I love it. Donovan and his bros. I love it. Those are my guys. Those are my guys. Y'all make me very happy. I guess you know them because we take so many pictures and post them. It's like they're my bros, too. all right still ahead on Milwaukee jokes and questionable life stories we got comedian Chris Porter here with us next, I'm gonna clean my phone case though in the break in this room that have never been lost and said where are we because they're like we're right here how do we get home I type home oh yeah you may know him from Last Comic Standing or from his Ugly and Angry Netflix special yes comedian Chris Porter is here ahead of his shows tonight and tomorrow at the Milwaukee Improv seeing you on stage and talking to you here it's two different people you are so calm in person but boy you get it out on stage oh yeah I would lose my mind if I was like that all the time if I was just that's me in the car yeah I'm sure that's me in traffic yeah but yeah no if if I sat here and was just like what is going on I think uh it'd be more of wrestling vibe right yeah and you have a vibe up on stage too there's some self-deprecating humor involved yeah in your stand-up there's also uh some some jabs at society so I guess which one's easier what do you say they're both pretty easy targets especially when I'm looking in the mirror okay uh yeah I try to just turn it towards me you you seem to make a lot less headlines yeah when you aren't making fun of others I don't know if you've been keeping track of Yeah, you've got to watch what you say. So, no, I find it's better just to – everyone has a much better time when you're the butt of the joke. That's for sure. All right, you get this gig in Milwaukee, and it turns out to be right when the Brewers are at their hottest and most important. So what happened last night? I was the biggest Brewers fan in the city because I was like, please don't mess with my Friday shows. Yeah, no, it was a lot of fun to watch. And I called it. I ran an ad where I was like, odds are you sweep on Thursday. So you come out on Friday. And so you're welcome. Okay, you want to make a call right now? So we'll say Chris Porter said it's going to happen. This is what's going to happen. Oh, yeah. I don't even know who you're going to play, but I got Brewers in five. There you go. We'll take that for sure. Go to his show just for that. I mean, are you kidding me? I'm also a sports handicapper. I don't know if you guys know this. You're taking bets right now. Bookie as well? Yeah, well, the feds might be watching. It's fun to talk to a comedian because everybody has a different way with humor. I think sometimes when we make fun of ourselves, like you said earlier, that's an easy one, and you're doing it right now. Do you make bad mistakes, I mean, horrible decisions yet as an adult as much as you did maybe when you were in college or shortly after first becoming a comedian? I mean, I hope not. But if you ask my mom, I think her answer might be different. Yeah. But, yeah, you know, I hope to learn from my mistakes. But, yeah, the ones that I make in my adult life, you're definitely going to hear about. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. Those are the best ones, yeah. I watched your first special and then your latest special, and I cannot imagine having to come up with that much material to be able to do that in front of a big crowd for that long. How long does it take to come up with that type of show? I mean, to put up a full hour is about 18 months to two years. Wow. Yeah, so it's one of those things where as soon as you get done recording a special, you have, like, it's almost like winning the Super Bowl, kind of, where you're like, oh, well, that was great. We did it. Now we have to start all over and do it again. And that's the next day. You're like, I'm not funny anymore. This is never going to work. But highly recommend it. Go on YouTube. You'll see some of Chris's specials. So good. Really impressive. Oh, thank you. Yeah, the new one's called Middle Rage, and I took middle age and put an R in front of it. And so it's a lot of stories about just kind of realizing that I'm old. Yeah. The new tour, the tour you're on, obviously at Milwaukee Improv, too, that is the Relentless tour. Yes. So how relentless are you? Well, funny enough, I was like, oh, I'm calling this because I'm relentless. I'm never going to stop. And then I got the schedule. I'm like, oh, no, the schedule's relentless. and I'm never going to have a weekend off and I'm never going to meet anyone. And so it kind of took on its own thing. But yeah, initially, I'm relentless. I'm coming out and I'm not going to stop until the hour stops. And again, you on stage, what you were... I'd like a blood pressure cuff on you to watch what happens. Because I'm imagining that, you know, you get Riley worked up. Yeah, there's a spike. Right, and then you go on stage and you're like, oh, okay, there we go. Oh, yeah. No, it's a definite thing where i just shut down and i just melt into the couch yeah i i have to i'm envisioning that now so you're getting up there the blood pressures and then how do you bring yourself down after a show you probably have fans that want to meet you uh yeah that's because they buy you drinks you're in milwaukee yeah tequila definitely helps okay that's for sure yeah uh but yeah it is a weird section where you you've been staring at all these people and now now you have to shake hands with them, but you know, it's not, I'm not going to complain about eight minutes where people tell me how great I am. That is true too. So obviously you did last night's show. You have four more coming up here. Tickets still available for that one. Yeah. those four, I should say. Milwaukee improv something.com. Are we at that place in life where we can just say Milwaukee improv to the phone and then we can get the information like where, Well, we don't need to know all the specifics, right? You don't need the dots. It's elderly parents are doing Milwaukee Improv Yeah, Chris Porter, and you see it for the driving too The same thing, just please when you do speak Milwaukee Improv into the phone, make sure you go to the Milwaukee Improv site if you're spending 200 dollars to see Chris Porter, you're on the wrong website. There you go. Well, congratulations and what a great career you've put together and I just am impressed with how much material you come up with and how relatable and good it is. Well, I appreciate you guys having me. This has been a lot of fun. Our pleasure. Yeah, thanks, Chris. Appreciate your time. And I really like those kicks, too. I saw them on the screen. Those fours are looking good. If you know, you know. Athletes need to stay loose, and so do fans. Seven-inning stretches, well, we got them for you. At home, maybe? We're going to teach you a few new moves coming up next. Lucky for Brewers fans, there is still more baseball left as we're headed to the World Series. And we know that Brewers fans are pretty locked in every time the crew takes the field. And they don't ever leave the TV screen sometimes. Matt Gibbons, owner of Physical Therapy, spelled greatly, by the way. This is in Waukesha. Okay, so this is so timely because of what we've been experiencing the past couple of days. If you're anything like me, I just stay glued to the TV and rarely get up unless I have to use the restroom. I never really get up to do that even if it's a good game. Or to get another snack. Yeah, or another beer. So we can all relate. So why is it important, though, for fans not to stay glued, to get up and stretch a little bit, have some movement, get the blood flowing, the importance of that. Yeah. Well, you know, the players are out there. They're moving. They're having fun. And so it's important for you to move, too, get a little exercise. And the seventh inning stretch is a great tradition, right? But your body would really appreciate it if you get up and move a little bit more often than, you know, a couple You know, throw a couple of the other innings in there, too. But it's important because when we sit still, we stiffen up in our back and our hips and everything else. And arthritis loves immobility. That's when it comes on. People think that it's because of all the hard work they did in life, and they did work hard possibly, but when they sit still, they don't lubricate the joints, and that's when arthritis hits. And so that could be exacerbated by sitting for a game that's, you know, three, three and a half, maybe four if there's extra innings, even longer. We had some games that went double last year, yeah. So what are some stretches that you can do during the seventh inning stretch or really any time throughout the game at home that might be a little bit more than just standing up. Right, sure. So we've come up with four different stretches you can do to kind of hit different parts of the body with the baseball theme here. So one is just, we're going to call it the slugger stretch, slugger shoulder stretch. So just bring one arm across your body. I think we're going to join you here. I took off the sport coat so I could be a little more loose and not so limited, sir. Grab the elbow and just pull it across. And then while you're there, it feels good. Right in here, huh? Yeah, big time. It's really nice. And then you can just rotate your body a little bit to get more to it. Kind of stretch out the whatever this is called. Yeah, your QL, quadratus lumborum. There you go. Okay, now we can do it the other way. Yep, you want to go both ways. Okay. The thing I like about this too is it's not like super distracting either. You're not like flailing your arms everywhere. It's pretty contained, you know, if you're tightly packed into the ballpark. You can do it at the game. You can do it at home. Sure. So are these pretty good stretches for folks who typically are mostly immobile, like maybe our senior citizens who need a little more practice with that perhaps they can be for anyone you know so like another one here is called a catcher's chest opener okay it's depending on what your shoulder mobility is you can just do go here and just lift it up okay and that just opens up your shoulder, feels great yeah like why don't we do this more often well we spend so much of our life with everything in front of us our phones we're eating we're driving and we get here So this opens up, but if you have more shoulder mobility, you can go up here with it Okay, or sometimes people just need to brace on their neck and do it and that's something that could be done sitting down, too Okay, so okay the back of the chair is a good way to extend over that We should probably get used to these because we sit for a longer period of time anchoring the news and chairs What we want to do is we call it reversing the curves our curve gets here. We want to reverse thing What is this is the steel second standing stretch? What's that one, the steel second standing stretch? Well, what we have here is to stretch out the hip flexors. Oh, we're going to, okay, let's do it. So I always like to have something to balance on so that people who might have balance issues. So you just hold onto a chair, put one foot forward, and then you're going to just bring your hips forward until you feel a stretch in that back. Oh, like a little lunge situation. Okay. Yeah, exactly. You look great. Johnny, try it. You look, there you go. I also like to call this the first baseman stretch because you see that first baseman stretching out there. I noticed, too, if you go to a game early, which I never do. Yeah, neither do I. But you can see the guys out stretching in the field before, and they do a lot of, like, hip openers and stuff. There's something to this. There is. And I run, and I can tell when my hips are tight. If I don't stretch like I should before running, like, I can feel it before and after. Yeah, all the time in the sauna, I was thinking I'd do that. You've got to stretch. It's not. I'd say the last one, the closer stretch, okay, for the pitcher, right? Okay. So, again, if you have a chair, something to hold on to, flexing forward and then reaching across the body great for the back and the hip because we really haven't done anything that's going to get that loosen up so we're like oh wow interesting i kind of felt that one first right i don't know if i'm doing it right sir no you are okay okay wow okay thank you so those are kind of hit everything you know full body stretches that's right and these are stretches too i think you can do that again they're just stretches it's not like you're there We're like, you know what I mean? Being obnoxious with it. Fair. Overdoing it. You're not doing a downward dog in the aisles. Right. And there's always adaptations for different people, different abilities. But that's where you come in. If you need something different, come in and see. I bet that if we do this, we will feel the difference. I like to think so, especially as you get older. I mean, we're not as nimble as we used to be at 18, 17 years old. So I feel like this is like paramount to good health. So instead of doing the seventh inning stretch during wake-up, we'll do the 7 a.m. Exactly. That would be good for us. For folks at home who might want to learn more about physical and the services that you provide, where can they do that? So they can go to www.physical.com backslash Waukesha or just the main site. We'll put in the location and it'll find us there. 262-349-9297. And that's our phone number. Matt Gibbons, thank you so much. Go Bruins. There we go. There we go. All right. And on that note, we're going to continue celebrating during the break. Stretching. But we sure will be stretching. We'll see you on the other side, all loose. We were so wrapped up in Brewers coverage. Man. We almost forgot to talk about the morning kickoff. We can do that. Not too late. We've got some time on our side. You want to get into it, given the interest of time? Yeah. Looks like your crew right there. This is my crew here at Indian Trail High School. Well, it's kind of a mixture. But I was at Indian Trail High School, home of the Hawks. There were a lot of good folks. I had a lot of fun with them there. I love it. Yeah. We're seeing Case definitely showed up as well. Wait, can you explain that to me? Did they sleep there last night? They did. They had a lockout. Oh, crap. I didn't know. A lock-in, a lock-in. I didn't know that. Our church used to do lock-ins. Oh, okay. I didn't know that the high school kids did that. I didn't either. But the dance team was there. So there were 25 that stayed overnight. I think that's a great idea. I think that... Oh, that's so much fun. We continue this next year. Maybe that might be the way to get all the students there. For our high school, like, senior thing, we, like, camped out. Maybe we should do it, too. But lock-in for here? Can you imagine? That's an early start for you guys. You've got to shower in the basement. Shower in the basement, what are you doing? Wouldn't you say, though, I'm wearing gloves there, and that was because we had the ProStart culinary students there. Out of 1,800 students at Racine Case, 120 participate in that. That's not home ec from our days in high school. They've taken things to a different level, and I love the fact that we got to highlight, again, all of the greatness at these schools. What was pretty cool about Mind the History, It didn't start out as the Indian Trail Hawks. They used to be the Tigers, and that high school wasn't even in existence until September of 2011. Oh. Yeah, it started out in 1998 as, like, four different, like, academies on the same campus. Okay, okay. And then through a referendum, that was passed, money was granted, and there came the high school X number of years later, and a change in mascot. So now they're the Hawks, their mascot is Mohawk. Oh, I like that. So it's a lot of history in between those walls on that campus. Well, we have a lot of history as well. Sometimes we share it with you. Oh, boy, let's see. That's my picture from high school. A rollback. Oh, is this the one that you used again? Well, I'm not sure what they used for me. You look good, man. It's getting a lot of play. It's getting a ton of action. You know what? One of our photojournalists, Gabby, was making fun of me, I believe, because of my stupid look and my hair. I love it. You're like mean mugging. I am mean mugging. Well, mine is the direct opposite. Go ahead. Mine was so smiley. I was cheesing. This is my sophomore year of high school. I look the same. My head is still big. It was homecoming court. I was on homecoming court. And my date is somewhere around there, Bria. Not to be confused with Bria Jones here. A different Bria. However, I think she's a doctor now. You should have reached out to Bria. Should have wiped that up, Paul. so i submitted a picture earlier this week and it didn't get used so i posted it on facebook i thought for sure that this was the photo that they were going to show but apparently that's not the case look at you look at this photo look at that guy is this 80s this no this is early this is early to mid 90s okay sorry i didn't mean to misdate you sorry cram puck i arbitrarily threw out a number. I'm sorry. Either way, the 90s, everybody a lot of money on haircuts and shampoo. I hear that.
