Real Milwaukee | October 22, 2026

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. I've been saying all morning on Wake Up, we have BFE. Big Friday. Come on, baby. Because it's World Series Game 1 Eve. Yes, it is. I stole a pom-pom from Donovan because that's how excited I was. I love that. And I stole a Kringle. That's how excited I am. I didn't steal anything, but maybe your energy. How about that? That's right. I love it. These are so cute, though. These are the pocket Kringles. Donovan, you had one of them earlier, right? I split one with Nicola. though they're very good they look good she and i could barely finish the rest of the show that part of the show because we're so focused on eating and just like relishing in the moment oh my gosh it's just some of the excitement though as you're prepping for your own parties every surrounding business there's something Brewers that you can just get so festive love it because primarily you know we know what it's like to live here the good food that exists here the restaurants but i'm thrilled to see other people experience what we already know and love about Milwaukee yes i know come to Milwaukee yeah yeah check us out we're cool people we are got a lot of heart yes we do yes we do well all eyes of course are on the Brewers ahead of game lineup the World Series so Derica, she has been out at American Family Field all morning getting us hyped up and you unveiled a new banner the last time we saw you big news yeah so before i get to the banner. Can someone save me a pocket Pringle? I got you. I've been out here all morning. All I had was an apple. So put it in the fridge and put my name on it. Hopefully it's there when I return. But you know what's here now? This banner. Take a look right here. Just moments ago, they unveiled that banner up there. It says World Series 2026. And look at our guys. Our team is up there for everyone to see who's coming here now. Folks have been filing in this morning. Today is media day so we're having media from all over the country come here they're going to be talking to the players coaches on both sides uh just getting a little insight before the game we're going to have our crew here too lily's inside um i know ted perry's taking some questions from the fans of you know there's six pack of questions to ask to them so this is just a really big day that we're you know experiencing here in the ballpark so i'm okay missing a Pringle um i'll get them soon enough i do want to talk about what else is happening right now because it just hit 1003 which means moments ago but the tickets are open so i'm looking ahead to monday and tuesday because i think we need to prepare for that so check this out the games we're having some watch parties here at AmFam Field so the tickets just went on sale at 10 a.m for games three and four obviously the crew is on the road on monday and tuesday so the watch party tickets will cost you 15 bucks a piece you'll have to pay for parking i think that's ten dollars but it's going to be electric inside of here so if you can get those tickets i would say after you watch real or maybe during our commercial break then sign on and grab them um if there is a game five that information will be announced at a later date so this party is going to be bumping obviously here tomorrow for the World Series and Saturday as well but it's going to continue throughout the next couple of games too and speaking of parties the Deer District is having a party uh so that's happening tomorrow as well a lot of teams all over have been adjusting their schedules including the Bucks to accommodate fans who want to watch the party happening here at AmFam Field so after their home opener at three o'clock they have a party going on in the Deer District so that will be right after the Bucks home opener which shifted up to three o'clock because of the World Series so that's just going to kind of be in that common area and i think they may have a giveaway as well for a pair of tickets I will double check on them but speaking of the Bucks I have to always think about Giannis right I know he's in Miami but you know he's still has Milwaukee in his heart the two-time MVP is still a minority owner of the Bucks here so we asked him you know just kind of his feelings about this milestone here that we are dealing with with the Brewers. It's incredible. I'm so happy for the team. It's been a lot of years in the works. Mr. Margot Ignacio and his family and his partners, they've really invested in that city, in that team. They've done a great job developing players. I wish them back home the best. And I love what the coach said. But, you know, the man had a lot of Hall of Famers, but we had a lot of gamers. That's a quote that will, you know, last forever. And, of course, you know, Milwaukee's support and pride still is resonating. So it's great to hear from him. And also great to hear from all of the connections, you know, beyond just the fans to the Milwaukee Brewers. And that also include Bob Uecker's family. I know this is bittersweet for the team to be having this milestone. you passed away last year but his presence is really being felt among us in the city his family did release a statement which i wanted to kind of share it with you guys it says in part while we could never speak for him this is certain milwaukee the brewers and the fans meant everything to bob whenever we gather at a packed stadium a neighborhood bar or a living room with the radio turned all the way up we know he is right here cheering alongside of us and it goes on to thank the team thank the fans thank the management and it ends with Milwaukee let's get loud let's do this together let's win our way and I think those are the words that you know kind of give us chills that we all need to hear and I really think the players are going to take that to heart too and give them the oomph that they need going into tomorrow's game i really love that because i spoke with yesterday josh mauer who's one of the broadcasters for the brewers and i asked him like hey like you're gonna be in the same booth euchre would have been in if he were here physically like are you carrying his spirit he's like absolutely we're doing this for him for his fans and the people who love the brewers it's meaningful in so many ways yeah yeah and it's so meaningful because you can almost get the chills when you're thinking about just how meaningful this is and this is spanning generations um it's just amazing i i'm excited i'm excited to say the least guys i cannot wait that parking lot behind you filled up with tailgaters derica it's gonna be insane tailgating a world series i mean it's you everybody can say that yes there it is thanks derica oh man and derica has been changing into so many different outfits throughout the morning she's had like all of her brewers gear underneath all of her like heavier stuff because it was colder this morning and so she every time we'd come back to her for another hit it'd be a new outfit a new shirt a new hat you know yeah yeah got the time she's got the she does she's got the swag the time the talent triple threat you know what i have been actually looking into brewers earrings i do not you love a good thing i've noticed you do like them so i i wonder if i can get those by tomorrow Probably not, but we'll see. Well, you could for sure at least get like a baseball earring, don't you think? That's true. We're going to figure this out. We'll figure this out. Fingers crossed for the Brewers one, though. Yes. And we know everybody's going to be wanting to watch the big game, game one of the series, if they cannot go to American Family Field. So we know there are so many of them, though, announced around our community, and it's hard to keep track of them all. Yeah, there are a lot. Especially one place, because there are so many. Luckily, look no further, because we here at Fox 6 have you covered with kind of a watch party finder, if you will. There is a website that you can go to to find a party near you. We spoke with the co-founder of what's called the Crew-tober, which is kind of a one-stop shop for those watch parties. Here's what he had to say about kind of coming up with this idea. Milwaukee is a wonderful sports town, and we all like to have fun watching the games together. So I figured this is going to be a pretty epic time to come back, even if I don't have tickets. So I decided to build a tool called Crew-tober. and lists as many watch parties across Wisconsin, including Milwaukee, and soon to be nationally, so that people like me can find a place to find their crew and hang out and watch the game together. Love Taylor. So we had the chance to chat with him yesterday on Fox 6 Now. He is from Milwaukee originally, but he lives in Denver now. Oh, wow. And he is still, if you couldn't tell from the Brewers gear that he's wearing and the Packers gear in the background, he's still all about the Wisconsin sports. I love it. And so he knew for sure he was going to come back to Milwaukee for the World Series. He tried really hard to get tickets. It was in his cart. Before he could finish the checkout process, he lost his ticket. Oh, that's hurt. And so I love that he's channeled the frustration of I can't be at AmFam into, well, how can I help other people who also can't be at AmFam? And, yeah, he's created this website, Crewtober, where he's putting all of the watch parties. He's coming for games one and two, so he's going to go to some of these bars. Oh, sweet. But what I love is it's not only here in Wisconsin. If you go to Crewtober, I mean, he's found places in California, in Chicago, and Denver. That are supporting the brewers? That are for the brewers. So if you're like him and you've moved somewhere else, but you still want that opportunity and maybe you can't come to Milwaukee, just go to Crewtober and hopefully you can find one where you are. That's huge. How did he find other states? Did he just call around? So he has done a lot of research. He said he posted on Reddit, too. Okay, okay. that's how he's gotten some but also these bars on the website have an opportunity to like submit what they're doing and they go through it and validate it and put it on the website and i said taylor this sounds like a ton of work that's a job, is this a labor of love and he said yeah i've poured a lot of hours into this website but again for him he's also waited 44 years for this moment he said the last time i went to the world series he was two so like this is his chance oh my gosh he's got he went in 1982 as a two-year-old no i don't think he actually oh oh i I don't know if a parent brought them. The last time the Brewers went to a World Series. I know, yeah. That's what I thought you meant. I thought maybe his mom or dad took them. That's what I thought you meant. Yes, okay, well, maybe, maybe not. That's super cool. That is so nice. Yes. I feel like it's a summary of this World Series, which is that everyone is doing what they can to help each other out and to be a part of the moment, and here he is. I have some, you know, notes out. I don't know how to make a website. I could not have done this. But Taylor was like, this is what I can do to help out. And I love this, this vibe. Oh, that's super cool because many people won't be, majority of the people who we know and love won't be able to. They're so expensive. We need these watch parties. We need these watch parties. Come on. All right, good stuff. Well, we're going to keep the good times rolling. We'll have your Brewers coverage all day long. Yeah, there it is. Got the energy coming along with it. I'll pretend I have it. I'll share my part. You can raise the roof, Steph. That's so cool. We can still do that. We can do that. We're millennials. Okay, more Brewers coverage will be coming up at 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock in those newscasts, followed by a Fox 6 World Series Media Day special starting at 6 o'clock. And we know Lily Zhao will be there, TVV, likely all of our sports crew will be there, getting you prepared for every inch of the World Series starting with Game 1. Yes, Ted Perry will also be at today's media event. He will be taking your questions that you submit through this QR code to the manager and the Brewers players. Again, just scan the QR code, tell us what you want to know, what you want to ask. Ted will review those questions and pick some to ask to all those guys out there on the Brew Crew team. You can catch some of those responses on our broadcast for Fox 6 News, where we will be broadcasting the World Series. You get to talk, so I get to pump. There you go. And this Friday, our coverage ahead of World Series Game 1 starts at 4. Then we will have a special Brewers edition of Fox 6 News at 5. First pitch, you guys, it's at 7. We're getting so much closer, then stay with us after the game for a special edition of Fox 6 News. There you go. So much to look forward to. Also something to look forward to, breathtaking views and a great menu to back it up. Nicola is at Il Cervo, and we're talking to her next. All right. From pizza to pasta to breathtaking views of Milwaukee, Il Cervo has upped the game when it comes to dining downtown. Nicola is there this morning checking out some of their new additions to the menu. Hey, Nicola. Hey, guys. Good morning to you. The timing for this segment could not be more perfect because this place is called Il Cervo, which means deer in Italian. Perfect name for it because we are right here in the Deer District at the top floor of the Trade Hotel. Obviously, this place is super busy all year round. We know that they have an awesome rooftop, a great bar, a fabulous menu. But they're especially busy this time of year because the Bucs are playing. Okay, so I'm so excited now to join you live from the Il Cervo kitchen. Not my kitchen. This one has way fancier stuff. And I'm joined live by the chef himself who's responsible for coming up with all of the incredible, tasty, decadent Italian recipes. Wow, thank you. that you can find right here all year long, but obviously your fall menu is probably the most important. And again, this is Chef Mike Ciaro. Good morning to you, Chef. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Okay, so what is your favorite menu to create all year here at Il Cervo? Well, I'd say late summer and early fall because you get all the late squashes from summer into your hard ones, which is pumpkins, butternut, red curries, and then we have all the great mushrooms that are coming into play right now. Comfort food. Oh, those look beautiful. So we are adding quite a few mushrooms to the menu. So we have a mushroom pizza, mushroom Bianca pizza. We're gonna be making a gnocchi today with wild mushrooms and Madeira. Let me just grab this. Amazing. So yeah, guys, this morning, we're not seeing how the sausage is made. We're seeing how the gnocchi is made. Yes. Can I say that this is a health food? Because we're talking about a lot of vegetables this morning, Chef. So we are talking about a lot of vegetables, but I'll be honest, Italian food is... Delicious. It is quite delicious, but there is quite a bit of cream, quite a bit of cheese in there as well. As the Lord intended. Okay, so how do you mix up these mushrooms here? And what kind of mushrooms are they? So I have a hen of the woods, cremini, some portobellos, and some oyster mushrooms as well. Beautiful. I've been sauteing them with a little bit of onion and garlic and olive oil. We're going to finish with a little bit of Madeira. What's Madeira? Madeira is a fortified wine. Wonderful. I love that flick of the wrist there. You know? So I just want to deglaze with that a little bit. I'm going to hit this pan for a little show. There we go. And I'm going to drop our gnocchis in. You guys, this is so cool. I feel like I'm at one of those hibachi restaurants where they make the food for you at the table. They do. Because I'm getting a show here. So we have our mushrooms that have been sauteed. They're about to finish. We're gonna mount it with obviously a little bit of butter. I have some fresh oregano that's gonna go in to finish right at the end. And as the gnocchis have come out, in one minute here. This looks amazing. So we make everything in-house. We have focaccia that we make in-house. We have sourdough we make in-house. It's called ciabatta in Italian. All of our pastas are made in-house. Pizza dough, everything. So from desserts the sauces to fresh gnocchis as well are all made in-house. And it really shows in your product and the flavors that you bring out. It really tastes fresh. Now, Chef, I'm so honored to be... Oh, a little pasta water in there. Okay. A little pasta water. A little cheese. Some mount. Yeah. I'm very honored to be in the kitchen with you, because you're kind of a big deal. I did some reading on you. Yeah, you're a very well-known cook, or Chef Mike, I should say, is a very well-known cook in Chicago, known in particular for this kind of cooking, farm-to-table. What makes you so passionate about farm-to-table cooking over, you know, other kinds of cooking? Well, I'm just passionate about cooking, number one, but farm-to-table is about more supporting local and artisans as well so being at the top of the trade hotel we're all about trades or craftsmanship so being a farmer being someone that makes sausage or bread and all that it's it's to me it's all about the love of of giving to to other people and feeding and feeding so and it really shows in your product here you can see just how carefully this one dish is made this This is the kind of service, the kind of quality that you can expect every time you come here to El Cherubal. I have to ask you, Chef, I'm sure you're busy all year round, but Bucks season has to be really busy for you guys. It's the best season. So, number one, we've got basketball right across the street, but just lively entertainment with people coming in every day and just enjoying the end of the patio season and also our wonderful bar up front. It is fantastic. All right, Chef Mike Sheeran, thank you so, so much. This is a look, guys, at the finished product, the gnocchi, which looks absolutely beautiful. Oh, boy, now he's going to plate it. Oh, you've got to try some. Nicola, really quickly, is he making anything in honor of the World Series, Game 1 and Game 2, being here in our city? We're going to finish with a little bit of... Oh, Don, that's a good question. Okay, so I have a question, Chef Mike, from one of my co-anchors. He was curious if you're doing anything special for the World Series on your menu. Well, we do have some new sausages that are, we have a couple of bratwurst sausages. Oh, perfect for the brewers. Yep, you got to do that with the brew crew. And we'll probably do a couple pizzas as well. Amazing. Oh my gosh. Yeah, okay, so Don, there you have it. They're doing a special line of, oh my God, are those truffles? These are, these are the last of the summer truffles. Oh my gosh, I love truffles. Okay. Guys, it's been so fun to show you inside of the kitchen here at Old Chateau. They just launched their new fall menu. It looks delicious, lines up perfectly with the Bucks season. As we know, their home opener is Friday at 3 p.m., but really we have all season to enjoy the food here. I mean, how lucky are we to have such a lovely, classy, sophisticated restaurant so close to the Deer District? I mean, it kind of gives you the best of both worlds here. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks, Nicola. It looked incredible. Yes, delicious. Yeah, perfection there. All right, well, frightfully fun. All the essentials for your Halloween gathering that's coming up next. Good news, you guys. Halloween hosting, it does not have to be a horror story. It certainly does not, thanks to lifestyle expert Jen Munoz, who has decor, treats, and gear that'll make your party look planned without taking over your whole week. Good morning, Jen. Thanks for being here with us. Yeah, good morning. I think the only thing scary at my house during Halloween is how fast all these treats are going to disappear. Oh, it might get scary in here in just a few minutes. They're going to disappear as well from here. Thanks for sending all this fun stuff. Yeah. You know, when I do a party, the first thing I like to think about is the photo op. So this balloon, any of the heirloom balloons, this one's actually available on Amazon. They're air.

He does such a great job. That's chicken parm. Yep. Looks amazing as well. And your homemade sourdough ciabatta. Yeah, focaccia. Yeah, we do. I think Chef spoke about it earlier. One of the best things that we do um in this business in our building i'm sorry is we make everything for the most part so the gnocchi which he spoke to all of the bread all the pizza crust and then obviously with our uh restaurant manager and bar focused uh mixologist Nicole Dursey who is uh uh makes all of our cocktails uh we do all of our syrups in-house we do all of our batching in-house so we try to make everything as much uh you know um uh field to table right you know what i mean at the end of the day whether it's beverage and or food or just homegrown Midwest hospitality is what we kind of put ourselves on yeah and that's what people in this community love so much okay so tell me a little bit about the cocktail that we're taking a look at yeah so it is a it is the Fiori Rosso it is a hibiscus syrup you can use any vodka we use Tito's as our house vodka and then Then we have a passion fruit liqueur, which we use you know, which is used in a lot of the bars. And then we just, we shake it up and we put some love into it and we've got a beautiful flower to showcase it and it is the perfect cocktail to be with a loved one, to be by yourself or just stare out of the window at a night here on the ninth floor in the Deer District looking over downtown Milwaukee. I mean, it's so versatile. It's perfect for anything and anything you want to do. I love how you took a classic cocktail, Cosmopolitan, and then kind of gave it your own twist here. And that's something that guys, you know, they really do well here. They take, you know, fabulous dishes that maybe you've seen before, but you haven't seen them quite like this because you really put your own edge and your own spin on it. But, you know, not everybody's a cocktail person. Some people are more into beer and wine. And I have to compliment you guys. This is what I call a holiday pourer. That is generous. Well, we knew you were coming. so normally it's not that much so anyone who's coming don't act like it it's like that all the time but no it's a normal six ounce pour but yeah we're definitely wine focused we have over 125 skus from a wine standpoint obviously italian managed but a lot of stuff from over the globe and then we try to stay local with some of our beers yes i saw that right and then obviously we got to have the italian with the peroni but yeah we're we're very versatile we have something for everyone whether it be on the menu from a food standpoint whether it be on the menu from a beverage standpoint and again everything is served with that Midwestern hospitality right so everyone feels welcome you can be in a hoodie you can be in a suit just come in relax enjoy yourself enjoy the view, it's the best place in downtown Milwaukee by far to dine in and by yourself with a loved one like I said just a just a great great space to sit back relax whether it be lunch oh excuse me whether it be happy hour starting at 4 o'clock Sunday through Friday whether it be dinner service which is seven days a week starting at 4 p.m till midnight and on the weekends we do brunch starting at 10 o'clock till 2 o'clock with our boozy brunch which is a 44 dollar deal um you get two cocktails you get an entree uh and you get a bottomless coffee so i mean it seems like a good deal to me yeah yeah and then you look out there right so that the the the view is a million dollars the brunch is 44 you're winning and the view is included of course the view is free yeah it's gratis of us yeah exactly so yeah it's a It's a great place for everything from food, from beverage, from hospitality, ambiance. I think this space really checks those boxes pretty perfectly. Oh, it's spectacular. I know you guys have been here for, what, a couple years now since the Trae Hotel. And obviously, you're still doing so well. You're so successful. There's clearly a need for a place like this in the Deer District. We love in Wisconsin our fun, like, sports bar vibes. But I think everybody, sometimes you just want to have, like, a nice, you know, more fine dining experience before or after you go to a Bucks game. Yeah, I don't like to use their fine dining. i think we're polished right we're polished we're elegant but we're casual also at the same time i think fine dining gives people this pretension piece of what we are we're not we're very laid back we just enjoy having a good time taking care of guests and producing great product on all levels of the spectrum and just making people happy when they walk out feeling like that was worth it right and then they come back and they come back and they come back so that's what we're looking for we need more we want more and we're ready for more so come on down well congratulations on this brand new fall menu that you can get right now is that right yes we are and we are in that process. So we're looking probably much bigger for wine, some cocktail and food, probably the last week of November, right after the Thanksgiving holiday. So Black Friday. A reason to go now? Yeah, totally. Go now and then come again. Perfect. And you will give patrons a reason to do so. This all, guys, looks amazing. I can tell you firsthand it smells even better. This food looks spectacular and I'm sure that having a lovely beverage to go with it would only enhance those incredible flavors um so yeah we are live at El Cheval in the deer district and they are uh open ready to go of course for the Bucks season and they would love to feed you every option looks incredible as i say i don't know which one i would want a bite of because i feel like i want a bite of everything probably one of those spots where everybody gets something different and then you share i don't want i don't like to go out with people who all get the same thing like no oh no because i'm that shouldn't be allowed you know exactly that's like It's like an unwritten rule. It's a menu. Yeah, you don't need to get something different. Then we'll just try each other's. But everyone has to understand, too, like we are sharing. Right, exactly. Let's set that from the get-go. Yes. Please understand that I'm stabbing my fork in your plate. Yes. I'm going to keep that. I'm just going to start referring to myself as polished. I love that. Polished, distinguished. You know, it's nice. It's elegant. It can be casual. I love that. It's Haley to a T, actually. Oh, my gosh. Guys, what? you're gonna walk in monday morning with a t-shirt that says polished there we go there we go but like not too over polished just like just enough yeah right yeah right can't overdo it i'm picking up what he's putting down well we could all use a little grace we know that uh are getting a new perspective with some tips for healthy aging that's next right back everybody to real Milwaukee well wouldn't we all love a few tips to help us age gracefully i know i would yes absolutely we've got chef Michael Davis and Kevin Sardo here from new perspective with how they help older adults maintain their health as they age certainly an important topic today i i would think so right one of one of the most important conversations we have in our community yeah well first of all thank you guys for being here um just what are our tips for um i guess all ages but especially you know as you get a little bit older just the simplest tips for us for for for us is uh you have to talk to the residents you have to you have to get out in front of them and see uh what their desires are when when they're moving before they move in we actually like to have these conversations with them um just so that we can understand how to mold our our menus we change our menus three times a year we have a dining room menu so we can make pivots where needed additions subtractions and then also to working with our vendors and our dietitians usually with me i'm on the menu development team so usually where the menu starts definitely that's not where it ends because the dietitian has scratched off so many things because of you know dietary needs and sodium and things like that but we understand i'm sure there are so many needs within that community too, I'm sure everybody is different absolutely absolutely and again that's just us learning us working with our uh our other leadership in the building and just really understanding our residents and then getting that experience then you'll just kind of know how to uh get that nutrition over to the residents but then you got to make sure you like it too, nutrition taste is equally as important, no I I love that it's kind of a reminder here about the plate because often when we talk about aging gracefully I think people go to skin care or those types of treatments, but really what you consume and what you're putting in your body makes such a difference as well. So you've brought us some, some ways that we can age gracefully through food. Walk us through the menu. Yeah. So, you know, our residents eat with their eyes as well. You know, it's not just us. So we want to try to make sure we're focusing on our plating. So we have a soup bowl that we put on. I worked with it this summer. You know, Residents really appreciated it, they liked it. We put it on the menu and we'll just see what happens. This one's gonna be a little different. It may be on our next menu cycle, but it's a mole chicken and we added a Latin rice on our menu this year. So, also too, a poached salmon, which is another different cooking technique with using a stock to cook your salmon down and holds the moisture in, and it has a sweet pea coulis. And then I wanted to just show a stir fry to kind of tie in with our activities and our life engagement because some of our communities have, we have the commercial kitchen, some other kitchens out in the dining room that we can use. And it's nice to get out in front of the residents to actually do live cooking. We do omelet bars, pasta bars, stir-fry bars, and things like that. And we usually tie that in with some kind of activity. But working with our activity coordinators through that. So it's another nice experience that we have, you know, for our residents. And that is equally important, right? Yep. Being social, being with other residents, that has to be a big part of aging gracefully, too. Yeah, and like Michael said, at the time of movement is where we're obtaining a lot of that information. We're getting life stories, we're getting histories, we're getting, you know, occupations, and then we can team them up with other individuals as well and really do person-centered activities, you know, engage them in that socialization. meal prepping. We do a lot of activities with meals. It's sometimes the only time a resident comes out of their rooms. It's a really, really big socializing time. We want to make sure we're giving them a good experience when they're coming out. Then we want them to keep coming out. I love the idea of having a full social calendar, especially because that's the time of your life where you have the freedom, you have the availability. fill it up with different activities especially as we talk about you know wanting to age gracefully maybe one of those activities should be some exercise some movement is that helpful here yeah actually studies have shown that as we age there's a reduction in our muscle mass so by exercising daily by doing all the range of motion exercises keeps us healthy moving the blood flowing reduces risk of falls maintains independence and so on and so forth every morning 9 30 in the morning we've got i don't know 20 25 people they're sitting and just doing chair exercises lifting little weights and things like that it's it's it's pretty neat to see even just walking the building yeah you know just walking the buildings and getting that exercise but we make sure we give them a meal so that they have their exercise they're ready to go it's very clear that you guys care a lot about your residents if anybody is interested in looking into new perspective what exactly what they do we can uh just look on our website at mpseniorliving.com it'll have a list of all of our communities and all the local areas um it'll have information about us about the leadership and we'll set up any kind of appointments for them and get them moving forward that's great because i have to imagine too that's that's a big step when you get to that age for a resident and family alike so to see even just the the simplicity of how much you put into each meal that that has to be really reassuring for the family and that's why we asked you know we that's why we we teamed up with our marketing team we wanted to we want our culinary team also to come out of the come out of the kitchen uh during these tours and then just kind of give a three to five minute uh pitch you know about the culinary department just to kind of create that comfortability because it's a nervous time it's like from eighth grade to a freshman year where my daughter is going here soon or um you know after high school to college it's just a it's a it's a really uh tough time so we just want to kind of create that connection and get that stuff which is show them you know it can be tough but then it can be really exciting once you're there and you realize this is the right spot for me i'm getting a gourmet meal i'm hanging out with social hours getting my exercise in people can absolutely thrive and speaking of social hours can i ask real quick are residents going to be watching the world oh absolutely yeah that was a conversation in one of our meetings yesterday oh goodness yeah hey is Is the pub going to be open? Yeah. Absolutely. Everyone likes a good old-fashioned. They like their spirits throughout the week. I'm loving this. Thank you both so much for being here. Not a problem. All right. We have a bit more coming up on Riverwalk We'll be right back. All right. Game one right around the corner, guys. I can't believe this is tomorrow. I know. I know. The excitement's been building, which seems like forever. Yes. We've been rooting them on from the start. Yes. NLDS be the Padres. NLCS the Dodgers. Now we're like, oh, my God, we made it. I think back to the home opener. All the way back, yeah. Going back to wake up and all the fun we had in the studio. And that feels like yesterday. And now here we are about to be in the World Series. Absolutely nuts. So much anticipation. We do have some updates, though, when it comes to the viewing parties at American Family Field. So those tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. for games three and four. And they are sold out, which a lot of us thought would be the case. So that's another good opportunity now to go to that Crewtober website or Fox6Now.com has a list of watch parties as well. You just find a different spot to go and to watch the Brewers. And if you really wanted to be inside AmFam and there happens to be a Game 5, they said those details would come in the following days. Perfect. And then just maybe for Game 5, if there is one, be online at 10 a.m. to try and sign up. And remember. No, go ahead. I was just going to say, remember, this is on Fox6, too. See, there it is. If you just want to stay at home with a group of friends or, you know, set up a screen in your backyard, that's the way to go, too. And I believe if you do have an at-home viewing party, we would love to be a part of that. Yeah. Send those details to us. Look out. What could possibly go wrong? Send us a friend. Nothing could possibly go wrong. We're, like, begging to be invited to your watch parties because we know you guys are going to do fun things. Right. Exactly. I think somebody will let us in the door. I think so. Yeah. We'll bring our cameras. We won't steal any of your beverages. But we'll take one if you gladly offer. Again, guys, game one tomorrow night right here, 7 p.m. And then keep your TV on Fox 6. If it's not Brewers, we've got Packers for you. Exactly. A lot happening. It's going to be a great time. Let's go Brewers!
