Real Milwaukee | October 20, 2026

Derica, this is news you can use. All right. Costco loyalty is taking on a whole new meaning in the housing market. A new Zillow study shows homebuyers are prioritizing houses that are just 5 to 15 minutes away from a Costco. Analysts say that bulk shopping convenience has become such a big draw that about 3% of home listings now highlight Costco proximity as a top selling point. But buyer beware, researchers warn that living too close can also mean heavy traffic and crowded roads. So you want to hit that, like, three bears sweet spot of just right. I get it, though, because when you're looking at my house, you're looking at all the amenities around it. And if that's, you know, a frequent stop for you, it makes sense. What is the first amenity that you guys looked at? Schools. Okay. No, I agree fully. That's what my parents chose when they were around. was ours and then we didn't end up going to the schools in the district that was yeah okay so we got kind of coaxed into it so it was schools first there was uh green space parks around that was a huge thing for us uh and then a convenience to downtown Milwaukee because having lived in downtown i still have an affinity for all party cramp like that yeah you can take the cramp out of downtown Milwaukee but you cannot take the downtown Milwaukee out of the party cramp there you go um just like that i think when i when my parents were looking it was always schools like resources for my little sister things like that but like for me as like a bachelorette like i want a nice shower really i want oh yeah i guess you could do that on your own but yeah i want to be hosed off like an elephant in there i want like jet like you know what the fisler spa you know it's like a car wash in there you just get like hit with multiple jets that's what i want okay In my Barbie dream house. I think that's fair because to put one in takes time and a lot of money nowadays. So if that has that, that's actually a good selling point. Yeah. I look for walkability right now. I mean, this is just me I have to worry about. Walkability to bars, restaurants, other retail spaces. And then if it's near, like, a body of water. True. Like Lake Michigan. Not with you. You feed off the energy of nature. I think water does that. You feed off that energy, too. It's so recharging. Man, I remember being in that situation. that you just described. I tell you what, it was a good time. Come on now. Walkability. I don't think I can live in a landlocked place that did not have a lake or an ocean nearby. That was how I felt living in Nashville. It was like all we had was the Cumberland that we nicknamed the Cumberland because it looked like chocolate milk most of the time. It was a real thick river. And it does affect the way that you feel. Now, granted, Tennessee is like a gorgeous landscape, greenery, Don, you know that. There's something about seeing Lake Michigan. I don't know what it is, but it just makes you feel so at peace. It's almost like your problems get smaller because you're faced with this, like, greatness. You realize... There's a sunrise over it. There's a sunset over it. There she is. This is a cool view, though, too. It made me feel like I was in a plane descending all morning. No, for real. The fog is lifting. That's too good. Shall we get into the weather? Yes, it's time. Let's do it, guys. And we are going to talk about something major here. It is official. The Brewers are now set to take on the Rays, the Tampa Bay Rays, in the World Series. And this is really cool, too. History will be made. Neither team has ever won the World Series. So it will also be a game of familiar faces. If you know, you know. The starting pitchers for Game 1 have not been announced just yet. But it wouldn't be surprising if former Brewer and ALCS MVP Freddie Peralta was not on the mound for the Rays. So this will be cool. You know what else is kind of a cool touch here, too? Jake Bowers also used to play for the Tampa Bay Rays. And so his former team's coming home, and then we're playing Freddie Peralta, you know, as his former team. So it's kind of a cool, like, element there for both teams. It's weird. But then it was like this morning there was an interview with Freddie Peralta when they asked him about, you know, going back to Milwaukee or whatever. And he said, look, that city launched my career. It will always be special to me. And I love to hear that because I think it is just a business. Like, I know we all kind of got upset when Craig Counsell went to Chicago. And obviously, we've done really, we've done just fine without him. But it is a business. Yeah, it is a business. But it's cool to see those connections that you once had for those folks here. You heard the folks in the locker room. They're like, we're going in Milwaukee. Let's go. Yes, you are. Let's go. I was the first person that went to my house. Like, all right, let's go. I love that. What was that? You know what it reminds me of? Not to bring this up, but that Stephen Smith. Do you remember that during the box? Oh, yeah. Where he said, oh. The unfortunate things that were said about Milwaukee. Oh, yeah. But then we, like, totally owned it and made T-shirts out of it. Something like that. Yeah. He said, like, the S-word, right? Yes. But a nicer version of that. Yes. Yeah. Anyway, so it's nice to hear this positive outlook coming. Because we are wonderful. Yeah. We know that. Yeah. And soon everybody else will, too. Okay, so here's a look at the World Series schedule and how that's going to look. So Game 1, Games 1 and 2, excuse me, are Friday and Saturday at American Family Field. Then the series moves to Tampa Bay for Games 3 and 4. If necessary, Game 5 would also be down in Tampa. Then Games 6 and 7 would be back in Milwaukee. All of these games start at 7, and you can watch all of them right here on Fox 6. We're so grateful for that. So our coverage is starting, though, on Friday at 4 o'clock in the evening, and then we have a special Brewers edition of Fox 6 News at 5. First pitch, of course, is at 7, and then stay with us after the game for a special edition of Fox 6 News. And this is really an exciting time for us because we're going to, you know, be there a lot. Yeah, we just left a coverage plan meeting about what we have working on at the station. So I'm excited to see nightside, our sports teams, dayside, wake up, all get involved in making what's going to be history for this city. And it's going to be a first, too, for certain generations, you know what I mean? Kind of going all in on this celebration, so it's going to be a really good time. Yeah, I like how we can lean into both generations, but also remember the past and pull some of those stories out. Like this one, this was a great story. Obviously, a lot of excitement and great stories leading up to the game on Friday. For two dads, it will be a game that they will never forget. They were surprised with World Series tickets thanks to their kids. And Christina Van Zelt explains how the Brewers are uniting families all over the country. I don't even know what to say. Thank you guys. Oh my gosh. You and me and him. first disbelief what is this and then reality hits these brewers fans are going to Game One of the world series thanks to their kids when the emotions poured out um there wasn't a dry eye in the house miguel maldonado started watching the brewers in 1970 his family grew up going to games maldonado wasn't able to go to the world series in 1982 that changed this time around his sons surprising him with the memory of a lifetime there's so many things that they sacrificed while we were growing up and all of that and it's just so awesome to be able to do this for him they weren't the only family knocking it out of the park these kids really love me there's no way jimmy d'amelio lives in south dakota but his roots are in milwaukee as a kid i used to ride my bikes to County Stadium. The longtime Brewers fan looked at tickets for the World Series and couldn't justify the price, but his kids had their own plan and surprised him with a ticket. Both kids serve in the military. His daughter is in D.C. and his son is overseas. We've been long distance as a family for a really long time now, and so just being able to connect this way has been really beautiful both families didn't just hand dad a gift they threw a curveball Christina Van Zelst Fox Six News wow i love that story meaningful it is so special and it's something about seeing for me your dad cry yeah oh yeah my dad is not emotionless but when he cries like the whole world seems like it just stops like oh my gosh like he can really he's really feeling it yeah so i'm sure those dads can appreciate that as well and even with him also being long distance he had like the new gear you know being a top fan i love it i'm so excited that's happened to both of those dads out there okay well speaking of the brewer spirit whitefish bay is showing a lot of it one street in the village is lined with inflatable bernie brewer displays some are right in front of the house others are right along the sidewalk when everywhere you look there's bernie look at him if you want to check it out for yourself they are on lexington boulevard the same homes decorate with inflatable santas during the christmas season so maybe you've seen those uh if you've driven by the area okay i i noticed the santas you can't miss them because when you drive really anywhere on lake drive you know you see them yeah i think i'm here for bernie i like it i like it i kind of want to go take a selfie with it i know right go all down the line whitefish bay is down with inflatables that's hilarious they like them all What if we could keep that trend going? I mean, these are going to sell out probably, right? Keep that trend going. How far do you think that could go? Oh, yes. All the way down. There was that buy-in. You'd be that household that doesn't have it. Like, boo-hoo. There's always going to be one. A Rays fan or something. There's always going to be one, right? Somebody will poke a pin in that one. Yeah. I'm sure. All right. So we've got to talk about the Bucs now because they start playing. Their season starts tomorrow. Their home opener is on Friday. So much going on in sports right now. It makes your head spin. So sports teams across the state really buzzing. And the Bucs are now entering the chat. The team's home opener is this Friday against the Bulls. Dustin Godsey, the team's chief sales and marketing officer, shared what he's looking forward to this season yesterday on Fox 6 Now. We're going into this, what we're calling the next great era of Bucs basketball and really starting to build that out. Coach Taylor Jenkins has been incredible as we've gotten to work with him and really understand what his philosophy is going to be throughout the offseason. And then you could get a guy like Tyler Hero coming back home and being able to play in front of his home team crowd or hometown crowd. And, you know, Ryan Rollins and all these guys coming back. I think we're going to have a really exciting, energetic, young team. All right. Yeah, I think exciting, energetic, all that. I'm ready for the season to begin. They got their team ready to go. They do. The Bulls are, you know, it's going to be interesting to watch these guys, I think, too. And anybody that plays sports knows that there's always a cycle of youth coming in to an organization. This is ours. We get to witness it. And hopefully, similar to what happened with Giannis those first years, there's going to be some issues, obviously. But hopefully we're going to be cheering at the end of the season. And I'm hoping the preseason kind of got some jitters out, too. You know what I mean? I'm so glad you brought that up. I went to the Bulls. I went to their preseason game against the Bulls last week. And I was like, ooh, defense needs some work. So hopefully that gets worked out as the season progresses. Obviously it should, but we'll see. Either way, they're going to put on a show. It's always fun to go to a Bucks game, This year there's new beverages, new food as well. You can expect those menu items when you're heading to Fiserv Forum, Some of the new options include spicy chicken sandwich, a King's Hawaiian churro bite at the Cluckery, half-court smashed tacos at the Johnsonville Stand. Pizza looks pretty good. Burger from Mecca Burger Bar, brisket elote. Wait, bring it back. Bring it back. Wait, what are you looking at? I want details on that burger and that brisket. What does that comprise of? Let me go to my notes there. And what's going on? What's going on at Park Fair? What do we got here? That situation. What's in that? If we could slow down the things a little bit. You want to go back to the situation? I want to go back to the burger and that brisket. The Mecca Burger Bar will add a Cream City Smash Burger to its stands at sections 106. and 116 perfect okay now a smokestack is going to be there with new brisket elote that's that smokestack uh palermo's pizza three brand new stands which is great so a roman style crust pizza they're gonna have that sometimes you want more than just like the tenders and oh yeah i agree like you want it from anywhere yeah they're stepping it up i love that yes i did notice that it's getting better yeah i know and it's not like it's not like a foodie destination i think the milwaukee brewers have set the tone for what can be done yes um i do think that that dining is a little different at Fiserv i think milwaukee you go there with the idea excuse me the brewers you go there with the idea that you're going to tailgate possibly you're going to go you're going to hunker down there's some serious time you're gonna you know it's a good how many hours is the game you're there for two and a half hours right before you need a bite to eat, the game can go a little bit quicker, sometimes after dinner as well. So if you're not eating late, then you don't get that. I do like their, so, go ahead. You know what their official wine is? Is it Dow? They have Dow. Oh, I love, that's right. They are proud of the wine. That's great, yeah. No, they're Dow carriers and La Crema. They got La Crema this year. Oh, let's go. Ask me how I know. You can order your food, though, for me, because you want to beat those lines at halftime or between quarters, you know? I love it. Delicious food. There it is, guys. Thank you, guys. Okay, still ahead this morning, help solve a mystery in American Family Field. The author of a new children's series is joining us live next. Very timely. I know. Excitement about the Brewers is happening pretty much everywhere, and a children's book series is celebrating Milwaukee's baseball traditions in a big way. This is so cool. Author David A. Kelly joins us live with more about his ballpark mysteries series. Brother, this is so cool. We know you've spent a lot of time in our wonderful city of Milwaukee. Before we get to the book, what surprised you most about Milwaukee that helped you write the book? I think that the thing that surprised me the most about Milwaukee is actually the fans. What a great fan base you have for the Brewers and the rest of your sports teams and so much history. So the Ballpark Mysteries are a series of books, mysteries set in baseball stadiums. And when I got to Milwaukee, I decided I had to actually write two books about it because you've got so much history and the fan culture is just so great. And you probably noticed, too, watching some of the fan reaction here as we head into the World Series. Some of the best soundbites that we've had have been from kids because they're really locked in and really, really excited. Is that something that you found, too, was maybe writing a plot line that was going to interest them, but also maybe teach them something that they didn't already know? Absolutely. And that's one of the fun things about writing the ballpark mysteries for me, is I'm able to mix history and cool facts about the teams and cool information about the stadium, like bratwurst and the secret stadium sauce that you have there as well as mascots like Bernie Brewer I think maybe I'll have to get one of those inflatables from my front lawn and Gus the Wonder Dog, you've got so much cool history that is really attractive to kids that it helps me kind of turn the love of baseball into the love of reading so it hooks the kids with baseball but gets them hooked on reading which for me as an author is just wonderful yeah and speaking of getting kids hooked on reading obviously there's a local draw here with you know our team um but i'm looking at some of your other books with you know Babe Ruth, the baseball curse, what does that mean for kids being able to kind of read books in a series or um picking up something that really piques their interest that will kind of help them grow throughout you know life i think actually it's really important so these books are really for readers in kind of second first second third grade and they're making the transition from picture books to books that they actually reading chapter books and building a series such as the ballpark mysteries which have 28 books in the series around topics that the kids get energized about like sports or like mysteries really helps hook them and gets them reading more than one book so in the series they can start with the first book they can start with the Brewers books but once they read one book they're going to discover they loved reading and they want to read the rest of the series and these fun mysteries are like not only hooking them with facts but they're also like um making them think about things you know giving them that curiosity that they're kind of tapping into as well yeah now david i love a good caper right so did you by chance pull the sausage race chase from an actual news story when the sausage one of the sausages got stolen just asking because one of the sausages got stolen years ago and it was a big thing here in milwaukee i don't think i knew that you know i didn't so the sausage race chase, my characters Mike and Kate, get to the stadium and they discover they're really excited to see the sausage race. but when they get to the stadium they discover that the costumes have been stolen. So that's the mystery in that book. And I actually didn't base it upon that incident that you're talking about. But I just I knew that the sausage race chase had to be a real core part of the mystery. And that's how I came up with it. Just wanted to make sure you weren't in cahoots with those. I got nothing to do with it. But I'm sure you get great feedback from kids on these books. But I have to hear about what parents tell you, because as Derek kind of alluded to, it can be hard to get kids to read. So having a topic that they're interested in has to help really does. I mean, there's so much competition for adult and kids eyeballs these days with screens and everything else going on to get kids interested in reading is tougher than ever. And that's why I think that books, whether it's sports books or mystery books like mine or some other subject, is a great way to get kids into reading. So you want to give them material that's going to get them excited. And, you know, reluctant readers, boys often are a little bit slower to get into reading. So when you give them something about the Brewers or one of the other teams or football or baseball that they're already into, it's actually a natural hook. And the other thing about these books is they've got a lot of nonfiction information. I've got a chapter of nonfiction information in the back where I talk about things like the Bobblehead Hall of Fame in Milwaukee or the Harley Davidson Museum. So it gives kids real locations that they might know or be able to learn about. And that gets them excited about reading as well. David, I'm sorry, guys. I didn't mean to do that. David, I'm curious, where are you from and how does maybe the sports fan base or the fan base around sports in your neck of the woods compared to ours? and like why Milwaukee of any place sure well i'm actually living outside of boston so there's there are some sports teams out here and people do get pretty rabid about their their teams including the Boston Red Sox uh but um you know it's it's great to go and visit all the different major league stadiums that I have for my series because all the fans in different areas they love their teams they love their city but again when i went to milwaukee um i wrote two books it's the First time I've written two books about one stadium because I just love the environment. It was such a great stadium, such a great team, such incredible history and again, wonderful fans. So it was really fun to do it. Yeah. So obviously we're looking at some of these pictures right here. You visited some local attractions. You talked to folks at AmFam Field. Book aside, we're going to the World Series. How are you feeling about that? I think it's thrilling. That's so exciting. I'm so excited for Milwaukee Brewers fans in Milwaukee. it's such a great team and i think this is going to be the year for the Brewers um uh i would love to see the Boston Red Sox in the World Series but that's clearly not going to happen so i think i think you guys are my team this year and uh it's going to be so exciting to see a World Series uh at at the Brewer's stadium or maybe when we can get another book out of this maybe yeah david uh first of all congratulations but also thank you for writing books that kids will want to read. That is a tough thing as a parent of a 10-year-old to get your child to want to read, and I believe that these will truly do that. So thank you so much for joining us today. Where can we find the books before you take off? You're welcome. You can find the books at most local bookstores. I know that many of the Wisconsin bookstores stock these books and have them on order. I'm also sending some signed book plates to many of the bookstores, and of course you can get them online at your favorite online bookstore. And I'll put in one more plug. I've got a couple of Green Bay Packers books coming out after the World Series is over. So stay tuned for those with my same characters. And I think some of you people out there like the Packers. A little bit. Yeah. Thank you so much. David Kelly. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Still ahead on Real Milwaukee. This is the time of year where the party outside tends to move inside. tip to make sure that your home is ready next let's circle back okay sounds good all right entertaining season is officially here and apparently the stress of having your home guest ready can actually prevent people from hosting that's right Esteli art director and diy expert Lindy Kataria is here with some uh quick cleaning tricks right some easy fall projects and ways to be a great host nothing says get it together like someone saying i'm on my way for sure and then we did a survey and it actually said that the cleaning is more stressful like double the time double the stress of cooking believe it or not i could see that sure baseboards yeah because you don't you know you feel like you're judged by your whole you know because you are at the first place is the bathroom, that's exactly what we're talking about, so like one of the most overlooked entertaining spaces because you don't think of a bathroom as entertaining but it's the place where people can go and sit and judge your cleaning skills, so you want to make sure you take care of that, and like you said you're rushing around you're doing a bunch of different things so let's talk about like some multitasking, okay, um this is our pink stuff, it's the power foaming toilet cleaner so basically you just dump it in the toilet let it sit for 10 minutes and you can clean the other items while it's basically cleaning itself, oh wow, and then you just brush it and flush it, i'm looking at the video right there so it foams up it gets all the sides and look like underneath the rim which is perfect, yes, and it smells amazing even though we're talking about toilets, it smells really nice, your pink stuff almost has like a um, how would you describe it? it seems like a rhubarb, yep, and it's funny my son said, oh i love cleaning with the pink stuff, i was like really because your bathroom doesn't say that you love cleaning, but it does otherwise, okay good to know so this, and then this is the paste, this is also easy run around your house, you can squeeze it directly onto the surface, okay, and then you wipe it down with a sponge and it's a mild abrasive and also smells amazing, okay so you could use that on this stuff, it wouldn't scratch it, yeah, always read the back just to make sure you're using the right product you know for your cleaning okay and for the surface and then we have these two, these are wipes and I had the man, you thought of everything here I can get you have nice nails let me do them there we got it oh they're pink they're pink but they I mean they smell nice but like you're running around at the last minute yeah just easily go through and wipe it well Derek I love a good wipe I sure do and this was a good could oh oh this is lovely and it has a good consistency too of a cloth you know what i mean like you can scrub a little something get up yeah it's oh that's very nice fragrance oh i love that and you're right it does have a good texture to it would actually clean some of them i feel like you pull them out and they don't even make it out of the thing because they just rip right away yeah you saw you saw how aggressively i pulled that out and still it lived don't mind if i do yeah thank you so much for tidying up for our guests so the other thing i was thinking of with our guests I have a cousin and every time she's the host everything's seasonal in her bathroom and I'm like all right Ashley you know overkill there but anyways I was like you could I could do it too and it was some simple things and one of the things our survey also showed us is that Midwesterners will judge clutter that's another thing so you want to declutter your space but you don't want to have people come into your restroom and not have the supplies right so we need toilet paper in there so what I did with this toilet paper holder I used just a regular box you can get at craft store, I painted it with our 2x espresso and then I added a little bit of our Modern Masters metallic gold, oh that gives it that look, yes, I didn't even realize that, I thought it was stained, me too, I didn't realize that that was wow and it is super simple, there I am doing it on it just literally just brushing it and just in wiping it, it's super simple, and then I added these hinges just because I thought it looked cool and I like to be a little extra, so I gave it layers, it gave a texture and it gave it, you know, that, yeah but it feels like cabinets, yeah, yeah, it's very very those are super easy, those uh little hinges, see I just screwed them right now, is there anywhere people can watch these videos, um, do you post them on your Instagram or anything, I I can talk to us about that, I feel like you should do because I, yeah, I feel like this, I we need it, we need to step by step because this is really good, oh well thank you so much, so I did the same thing with we had a little wooden frame in my bath in my, not my bathroom, in the studio and I used this less mess which I've brought on here before because it literally just rubs on like shoe polish and I put a little poem in here I told my husband, it was inspired by us and he uh didn't think that he looked like himself in it but whatever, no, I like that also because I have a couple of frames that I had wanted to redo but I didn't want to mess up like the inside of it and you wanted something that was just right for the width of oh yeah and yeah and if you don't want to yeah if you don't want to disassemble your frame it's super easy like less mess it literally is you can see me using it right there it didn't even get on the paper i was staining it i don't really question if you furniture that's like a little banged up around the edges would that do it or no um i don't you know what i mean just you know what i mean you can like we have lots of things for oh nick for uh her living room over here we have lots of like little in my nesting area sticks and things like that but i can't imagine why you couldn't use that if you match the stain right anyway um i want to talk about these because this is a beautiful touch right here that kind of just even elevates a frame. Thank you so much for acknowledging that but again like I said I love to find stuff that I can just reuse and so this was a frame that we used on another set and I thought you know what instead of doing like a traditional wreath and some of my co-workers are like Lindy we don't know how to do the things you know how to do and making a wreath is hard. I was like this is not hard. I painted it with the low odor which we've talked about before and I did the matte moss green because I kind of want the green theme but I wanted it to be a little different it's almost like a cream it's very neutral and celery kind of like the color of the year it is yeah and using the low odor like talking about what we're wanting everything to get ready quickly for our guests this dries super fast and you don't have to wait to recoat it so it's a really fast project to do but all i did was just tie on the leaves to this so who could not do that everybody can do that and then i added a ribbon that's the easiest wreath ever and it was very popular in our studio lots of people called dibs on it but oh this is absolutely beautiful too i almost forgot about that so you're talking about having guests over you want you wanted to have one of these yes so having the disposable paper towels versus a wet towel that you're having to go back and like making sure it's okay for your guests this is always a good tip and same thing i painted it with the espresso but i did not use the gold distressing on it but i did add a handle that we had in the um in the studio it was probably off of a cabinet or something but i think adding those little touches just makes it feel you know elevated and it's also making you think of how you can reuse things around your house and repurpose um because it's beautiful right there well thank you yeah i thought it looked really nice too and yeah and if your guest comes in how could they judge this poorly right yeah the bathroom smells amazing it's decorated for the season and it should be a uh i was gonna say judgment free zone but we want them to judge it give it a high i'm obsessed with this before we go i want you to get to the table yes oh yeah we're talking about hosting guests and just a couple tips is you don't want your guests to come in and feel like you're running around so always try to be ready about 15 minutes before they come have a place for their coats if you're a shoe free home have a place for them to put their shoes and then have some nice music playing always have your appetizers ready and have like a drink to offer your guests a signature cocktail yeah a nice little cocktail but also it helps them because when they're coming to your house they're standing around some of them feeling awkward and so having the snacks where they can access them and then giving them a drink it makes them feel very welcome and what we have learned from our survey too is that most people don't want to come to your house for perfection they want to come and feel welcome they want to feel comfortable and feel like they've had a nice experience yeah because you don't want to go to a house and be like this feels like a museum you can't sit down right touch something you want it to feel lived in but then i also feel like these touches make it feel homey right you know there's a lot of care but nice and you're so right Lindy the host sets the tone oh yeah yeah for sure so yeah so some nice music offer a drink and welcome your guest and if anybody is inspired by any of these please share your ideas um use the hashtag #myrestoleum on any of our social media all right Lindy Godfrey thank you so much thank you for your idea thank you all right we'll go milwaukee after the break the New York Times article is getting a lot of parents talking so it asks should letting children play alone outside be a crime uh the question comes after parents have ended up in trouble after letting their kids do things like walk to the store by themselves. I mean, I think you know your children, you know your area, you know, you know, just, I say, do what makes you feel safe and your children safe. You know, we grew up in like, well, at this time of our lives, grew up in a cul-de-sac and there were other kids, you know, to our left and to our right and down the road. So our parents together would let all of us kids play outside without parental supervision but we weren't like drifting far off into the middle of nowhere in the neighborhood either but just close enough where our family would know and their family would know where we are yeah i think it's the walking to the store thing it's not just kind of the question was can they walk to the store by themselves for me it's the cars on the road it's the people not paying attention i feel like so many times they're looking at a driver they're looking at their phone i'm even scared for adult bikers on this side of the road much less you know your kids so i just kind of feel like it depends are there sidewalks or just kind of what is the route that your kids are taking walking to the store you know i've seen this a couple times in our neighborhood i love the fact that neighborhoods are so tight but it just doesn't happen as much anymore that's what i hear you know like playing flashlight tag yeah like you just can't play flashlight cops and robbers flashlight tag growing up do you know what that like what that is no so i know Once it hits, it's dark outside, then the kids grab the flashlights, and it's like tag. So you try to find them, and you're like, gotcha. We just didn't have flashlights back then, but it was a manhunt. Can't do that nowadays. No, you are not hiding behind somebody's bushes in the middle of the night. Not with something that looks like an object in your hand. Well, I think the times have changed. People, I think, are just less comfortable in general with having people even over, having people knock on their door you know what i mean it's a community isn't the same though i know some people who live in neighborhoods who don't know the neighborhood their neighbor to their left or to the right and i'm like what happened right now that's why i like living in an apartment is because i feel like i know everybody you know we all know each other yeah we grab each because you see each other in the elevator it's social yeah you should know who's on the wall next to you i don't know i kind of like that aspect of it because you're right i feel like even i I go home a fair amount, and I notice in my own neighborhood, I'm like, where is everybody? I ran into a fellow Lions fan last week in my elevator. I bet you did. Yeah. No, I'm with you. I think it's just like assess where the store is. We always walked or took our bikes to the store, but it was in this little plaza where it was all back roads to get there. You didn't have to go over any big, scary streets. So I don't know. I think it just depends on where you live. Do you think that, when it comes to neighbors, do you think that you have nosier neighbors in apartments or in houses? Oh, houses. Houses. I agree fully because I lived in a condo for years and I didn't feel like, again, didn't really know the ones to the left or care to know the ones to the right. Yeah, fair, fair. And in the house, I need to know exactly what's going on. I don't know why it's so different. They were like on the wall aside from the kitchen. Maybe it's different because people are kind of, you know, sitting in their windowsills, sitting on the driveway, sitting on the porch. They're looking around, you know, in an apartment. The last time I was home, the neighbors next to my parents, they put up this, like, tent in their backyard that looked like they were doing something in the tent, like they were, like, some kind of a project. And so we were all, like, standing at the window being like, I wonder if they're, maybe they're spray painting their cabinets out there. We had, like, a whole narrative of what they were doing. You know what I mean? It's just, like, I think you just get nosy because it's, I don't know. Apartments, I feel like there's a code in an apartment. It's like, you don't... I do agree. Stay clear. Don't knock on my door. Yeah. That's absolutely necessary. Totally. Yeah. Do you give small talk in the elevator to get to know and be nosy? I do small talk in the elevator. I'm sure. You don't even have to ask. I do small talk in the elevator all the time. But that is my way of meeting people. That's how I ran into the Lions fan. And yeah, I do small talk in the elevator. You know what? And it pays off. So a couple months ago, there was a carbon monoxide leak in my building. And the fire department came. It was this whole thing. And people, it was like at 7 or 8 o'clock at night. And so all of my neighbors know what I do for work. They know that I go to bed early. So I will say, now, I did sleep through it, which I know. We have detectors now. We fixed that. But the number of texts I got from neighbors, the number of people who were banging on my door, the people who told the firemen, like, go get her. She's sleeping. Oh, that's scary. I felt like the warmest hug. You know what I mean? like to know that you people who are looking out even though they're separate you guys they're even the world to me so i think that had i not i don't know chatted them up they wouldn't have known like she's sleeping go get her like bang on her door make sure she you know they wouldn't have known that so i'm for chatting everybody up but then also as a building as a whole you want that safety you want that security you know you want to have eyes on the front door all together totally yeah good stuff all right good talk here i by the way i love my hood but i also love to living as well guys uh gino's coming up next here we've got some stuff from hollywood we need to talk about it's coming up next later in real life well selena gomez is opening up about her struggle to quit vaping and miley cyrus has her godmother dolly parton the late dolly parton sent her a sign after her death and gino we begin with that particular story what's this about this is really special for miley i can't wait to hear what you guys have to say about this so during a performance at the hollywood bowl miley cyrus described the events to fans now she explained that dolly gifted her a mannequin of herself of dolly one year for christmas now after her passing cyrus said she turned on jolene lit a candle put a flower on the floor and thought quote dolly if you're here right now flicker the lights she told the audience the entire hallway started flickering wow the appearance marks cyrus's first major concert engagement in nearly four years Cyrus said that performing does not come as natural as it once did. Have you ever gotten a sign from anyone? Oh, for sure. I mean, I think I get one every time I see a Cardinal. Yeah. For me, it's the butterfly from my gram. Oh, nice. When you see one? The butterfly? Yeah. That's a good one. Donovan, you got one? A song. A song. I love that. It's called I'll Be by Edwin McCain. It was my granddad's favorite song. And I will go years and not hear it, and then hear it, and I'm like, oh, my God. Then I freeze. I get a little emotional when I hear it. So for me, that's beautiful. This is an interesting story here. Selena Gomez opening up about vaping. She's quit the habit, but it wasn't easy. Yeah, so she shared a video on Instagram saying she believes that heavy nicotine vaping changed her voice. and warned friends, it's just not worth it. Well, I'm not going to be able to change my voice. I vaped nicotine a lot. Nicotine is so hard to quit. and I think I just wanted to say if you're going through it or if you're even trying to vape it's just not worth it yeah so in recent years fans noticed that her voice sounds raspier and less powerful than it used to some say that they've been confused by her soft and monotone sound well you know I really appreciate her coming forward and saying like hey I think that this is what this is because vaping is still a new thing there's not a lot of research surrounding it yet so and a lot of kids do it yeah she has a lot of folks who look up to her i give her credit yeah because there are some lasting effects so the fact that she is coming on saying something you know that's pretty good all right so an Abbott Elementary star is making her way out of the classroom and onto the stage yes actress Janelle James announced her debut stand-up comedy special with Netflix the one-hour special will cover several topics from body counts and bank accounts to why women should wrestle men i don't know if i endorse that how romantic will premiere globally on november 10th i think she's hysterical like even outside of Abbott Elementary i've seen a couple of her stand-up she is so funny i'm looking forward to this you said november 10th yes and i will tell you that i interviewed her we had her on real milwaukee and i loved her so much that she tweeted a picture of the two of us being interviewed she said this man must be my biggest fan i am i love you oh cool all right so we know that nobody puts baby in a corner but now we've got to focus on johnny i don't know how they're going to do this so the dirty dancing sequel will honor patrick swayze's character but they're not going to bring him back with ai thankfully now the producers say it's important to let fans mourn him they're also chasing the feeling and spirit of the original film they want to find the thrill of young love again but so far no word on a plot or a release date we do know this jennifer gray will be back as francesca baby houseman with a bunch of new co-stars no i just want to kind of leave this one where it was everything does not need a sequel and it's beautiful the way it was with them as the original actors the dancing it was lovely i agree you want to honor patrick swayze don't make the yeah agreed there it is all right you know thank you see you tomorrow thank you see you all right more real Milwaukee returns after the break. All right, let's talk about this. Your pet might be your best friend, but most Americans would prefer they stay at home. According to a new survey by Talker Research, nearly half of Americans say they'd be irritated to see a dog while sitting down to eat at restaurants. You know, 45% of people say they do not want to see pets in grocery stores either. Coffee shops, airplanes, and workplaces also ranked high on the list of places where people do not want to see a pet. Now, there are some generational divides on this, kind of creating some friction here. Baby boomers are twice as likely as Gen Zers to object to pets on planes. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. That does make sense. I was just in Holy Hill over the weekend, and there was a sign that said no dogs from this point on. This woman brought her dog. It wasn't a smaller dog. It was a big dog. And the dog started becoming rambunctious, and she gave the dog too much room in the leash. And it started jumping on myself, my buddy's wife, and Karen, the little girl. And they think it's funny. So then I get ticked off and say something that maybe is not the most polite thing. But I'm like, number one, you shouldn't have a dog over here in the first place. Number two, you're allowing the dog. She didn't even yank the dog back when it started going crazy. And you allowed that. And so then, yeah, you kind of get what you want. People, it's okay you don't have a service animal. But even if that was, it was not a service animal at all, you need to keep it in your area because people could be allergic to it. People could not want you to be licked or jumping on us. It was that's not highly inappropriate. Yes. And to laugh it off like it was a scratch to her could have hurt her. There's a baby involved. She's pregnant. They have a two year old. What are we doing? No, you're so right. And the reaction, I think, is the most disappointing. That's, I think that's what ticks me off and sent me over. That never is. Start laughing. You'll be in an elevator and these dogs, like, and again, like, I love dogs too, but like not, it's just, they need to know how to behave if you're going to bring them into these kind of public places. And not all dogs. People have their own dogs. It's exciting for them. Like, there's all these new smells and all these new people and like, they can't contain it. It's on the owner then to know their animal and know that they can't handle this. Like, it never ceases, like, drives me so nuts when you're like in an elevator, you're dressed nicely. There's a dog that gets in the elevator. They're all of a sudden, they're all over your nether regions. They're ripping on your tights. Like, you're just like, no. And I just, and they don't do anything about it. It's like, that's not other people's dog. It's your dog. You should control them. And restaurants, grocery stores, no. You're gone for half an hour. Leave the dog at home. I just, I'm sorry. I think it's so inappropriate. An animal that licks its own butt shouldn't be where there's food. It's just, it's a health hazard. I'm sorry. And this is coming from somebody who had a dog growing up. Yes, a dog. We have a dog now in the family. as well. Yeah. Scotch should not go to the grocery store. Scotch should not lick its butt. Our dog doesn't get on the furniture or in bed with us. We don't play that. No. I like that you guys are passionate about this too because... Wouldn't you be? To be honest, I have issues with larger dogs that are getting jumpy. So your situation speaks volumes about kind of taking care of your dog. The little dogs are cute, but when it said on the story about airplanes, I was like, wait a second here. I can only imagine that somebody that's bringing on the dog, if that dog is not properly trained, there's going to be probably an issue with at least one, if not several people that are on that plane. I think there needs to be some sort of warning that on this plane today, there's going to be blah, blah, blah. And then give an opportunity for people to take the voucher or whatever it is. Because even in carriers, that could be disruptive. What you hear, what you smell, you know, they need to let them out for a little walk. All of the above. Understandable. Yeah. I mean, love them, but just. Yeah, I love dogs. I really do. But like us, our family dog, we don't take him in public places because we know how he acts. And I think what bothers me is that when you. He acts like a dog. He acts like a dog. He gets a little bit beside himself. And when you do have that reaction, people are like, oh, you don't like dogs. It's just like, no, I just don't like dogs in my crotch in an elevator. Like, sorry. There you go. Sorry, that was rude. I like goose. I like scotch for a dog's name. Yeah, she was sweet. She was wonderful, and we never had any issues with her. But we also didn't take her places that were not appropriate for her. Exactly. People know their dogs. Yeah. Scotch. There we go. Clearly, I feel like I had to wait. There you go. On that note, see you tomorrow. See you later.
