What started as a disastrous trip to the Packers-Vikings game with a Packers loss and mics that didn’t work for half our interviews turned into an unexpected episode when we met Kaity and Grayson, two Packers fans who traveled all the way from New Zealand. When we found out they were heading to Milwaukee a few days later, we knew we had to get them on the podcast.

Katy and Grayson join us to talk about how two people from New Zealand became Green Bay Packers fans, what it was like seeing Lambeau Field for the first time, and their honest reactions to some of the most Wisconsin things.

On this episode, we talk about:

  • How Katy and Grayson became Packers fans in New Zealand
  • Seeing Lambeau Field for the first time
  • Their Packers-Vikings game experience
  • Their first trip to Culver’s
  • Experiencing Kwik Trip
  • Their thoughts on Wisconsin roads and potholes
  • Making a stop in the Wisconsin Dells
  • A surprise call during the episode

Our first stop was Culver's. Unfortunately it was a Friday night so it was busy so I had to wait for an hour. And then we went to the high school football game.

SPEAKER_04
0:06

Clean bathrooms.

SPEAKER_01
0:07

The bathrooms are immaculate. That was nice. Normally you go into like a gas station bathroom and you just kind of like brace yourself.

SPEAKER_04
0:13

The food isn't that great.

SPEAKER_01
0:16

Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_00
0:17

Uh oh. You're gonna anger people.

SPEAKER_04
0:19

Bumpy roads.

SPEAKER_00
0:21

Are they bumpy outside of Milwaukee or just in Milwaukee?

SPEAKER_01
0:24

I think it was kind of all over the show a little bit.

SPEAKER_04
0:26

Just through the wo Wisconsin state.

SPEAKER_01
0:28

But Milwaukee's probably worse. And I kind of have to be like, oh, coming up.

SPEAKER_00
0:32

It went through your mind in the Wisconsin Delps.

SPEAKER_04
0:36

We were kind of like, what is this place?

SPEAKER_01
0:38

Kind of like half town, half amusement park, half fair ground. Like every every store looked like it was, I think there was a store that just did like cheese croquet.

SPEAKER_00
0:50

Hey guys, welcome back to Milwaukee on Cut. Um, so Bree and I decided to make the very wise decision to go up to Minneapolis for the Vikings Packers game a couple weeks ago, which um, you know, it was a it was a disaster. Not only did the Packers lose, but we went up there to get content, and then um, you know, we go into the stadium, which by the way, very nice stadium. Need to give it to the Vikings. Doesn't have the tailgate atmosphere Lambeau does, but night, nice stadium. So we uh, you know, we get it get in and uh sit down, and then Cody, our editor, texts us about midway through the second quarter, and we, you know, we want to get those clips out as quick as possible while the motions are high during the game and uh informed us that the mics were not working well on about 60 to 70 percent of what we got. Um, so not only did that happen, then then we all know what happened in the game. I don't need to rehash any of that. Big win against the Jets last week, and hopefully we take care of business against the Falcons. But something good did happen. We we got to meet uh two Packer fans from New Zealand that were in town, Katie and Grayson, and then we found out they were coming to Milwaukee a couple days later, the Tuesday after the game. So we met up with them, took them around a little bit, and then had them on the podcast to talk all about their experience. They went to Green Bay before Minneapolis, then went to Milwaukee. They were in New York before that. They're kind of going all around, all around the country for seven weeks. So they were great to hang out with. Got to have them in here. It's a fun episode, and it was awesome. Spending time with those two. And before diving in, I just want to thank our partners who make Milwaukee Uncut possible. We'll kick it off with Annex Wealth Management. The fall is a great time to get your life together, and that means taking a hard look at your finances too and finishing the year strong. Annex is a holistic wealth management firm with offices in and all around the Milwaukee area that helps you with everything from retirement planning, smart investing, estate planning, legacy planning, and tax strategies all under one roof. That is Annex Know the Difference, AnnexWealth.com. Next, we got Nikolay Law, the Midwest Law firm injured. Get Nikolay and Russell and the team will take great care of you, including, including, but not limited to if you get injured on any of the quote bumpy roads that we have around Milwaukee and Wisconsin. That was that was a quote from uh from Katie on this episode. They're not used to to bumpy roads in New Zealand, apparently. If you end up in an accident, give Nicolay a call. And I mean, if you're looking for a nice canned old fashioned this fall, great time of year for an old-fashioned or 10, like our friend Nate Moody, drink Wisconsin Obliv Beverage Company, best vodka, brandy, and canned cocktails in the game, available at bars and liquor stores across the state. And in the corner bar and right field over at Ampham, perfect for hopefully a deep brewers playoff run that is Drink Wisconsinably Beverage Company. All right, let's dive in with our New Zealand friends, Grayson and Katie.

SPEAKER_04
3:58

Kyoda from New Zealand.

SPEAKER_00
4:01

Randomly ran into you guys. I think I I think I approached you on the street in Minneapolis. Um we don't need to rehash what happened that afternoon, but it was an honor meeting you two. You you were here. Um you've you've been in in the States for a little while. You were in Green Bay, Minneapolis, now now Milwaukee for over 24 hours. And um, yeah, I we've never had I I have personally never met anyone from New Zealand, and I don't know if we ever had any foreigners on the show. Um who have just been passing through town? Oh no, yeah, I don't think so. So well uh welcome. Yeah, I mean, first time for everything. Thank you. It's been fun. It's nice seeing you guys this morning popping by, and um yeah. We were just at Sobelman's in Great Lakes Distillery.

SPEAKER_01
4:52

Yep. It was a guy it was a great little experience. Uh thanks for taking us along.

SPEAKER_00
4:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04
4:57

I had my first Bloody Mary.

SPEAKER_00
4:59

What'd you what'd you think? Had you heard of Bloody Marys before coming over here?

SPEAKER_04
5:03

I I'd heard of them, but I've never had one. And I liked it.

SPEAKER_00
5:08

Did you think there would be a cheeseburger coming out of it?

SPEAKER_04
5:10

I didn't expect that.

SPEAKER_00
5:13

You didn't like it as much.

SPEAKER_01
5:15

No, I mean, I used to work in a bar and I've made them before and I've tried them. Uh to be fair, this one was a little bit nicer than this. I I don't really like it, but the kind of display of all the food sitting on top was pretty good, but not for me.

SPEAKER_00
5:28

We didn't get the one with the entire chicken in it. We just got the one with the cheeseburger, some celery, some shrimp, sausage, cheese. Yeah, it was like a whole meal over there at Silverman. So that was uh I think that was the lowest end one you could get to, or maybe one one above from there. Um how's the states been so far?

SPEAKER_01
5:49

Yeah, no, it's been good. It's been good. Um obviously our first couple days were in New York and that was chaotic. And then obviously we've traveled up to we traveled up to obviously Wisconsin. And uh we originally planned to go to a game at Lambo, but then the schedule came out, and then we had to kind of shift our plans, and that's when we met you guys in Minnesota.

SPEAKER_04
6:11

Um we stopped in Green Bay. We did stop in Green Bay, and we did the Lambeau Stadium tour.

SPEAKER_01
6:17

That's right, yeah.

SPEAKER_00
6:18

What was it like seeing a Lambeau? Okay, and um Grayson, you're you're a big Packer fan. Yes, very big. Yeah, and that's that's why you guys came to Wisconsin in the first place?

SPEAKER_01
6:29

Pretty much, yeah.

SPEAKER_00
6:30

Why are you a Packer fan?

SPEAKER_01
6:32

Uh I started watching football with my friends probably 10 or so years ago, and it was during the Rodgers era. Um, Aaron Jones is playing, and I just love the team, and I kind of stuck with it. So um you also don't have any outside influence when you're in New Zealand because we don't have football there at all. So you kind of just gravitate towards the team and you stick with it.

SPEAKER_00
6:53

How do you even find it or watch the games there? Um you said 17 hours ahead of the game.

SPEAKER_01
7:00

Yeah, yeah. So originally you couldn't really you'd have to like find a legal stream and watch it or something like that. Um, but now Disney Plus has everything available for like ESPN. So we can just kind of watch Red Zone. But it is awkward because it is during work hours. So I kind of just hope I'm in the office and I pull it up on my second screen.

SPEAKER_00
7:18

But I'll on Monday morning.

SPEAKER_01
7:20

On a Monday morning, yeah. Uh sometimes if we have to wake up, I wake up at like five o'clock um before my normal wake-up time, and I'll just start watching the games in bed while Caitlin's asleep.

SPEAKER_00
7:30

Yeah, and you and your friends is is your you have a podcast. Is it specifically about football, or do you guys just talk about that?

SPEAKER_01
7:37

Uh it's specifically about football, yeah. The tackle American football. Tackle for loss podcast, yeah. Um we talk about American football, and that's pretty much it.

SPEAKER_00
7:45

And for those listening, we're coming off our week one loss against against the Vikings in in your your your mates. Do you call them mates or friends or what do you want to do?

SPEAKER_05
7:54

Yeah, mates, friends, yeah.

SPEAKER_04
7:55

Bros. Burros.

SPEAKER_00
7:57

Oh, so you use you use some American term terms over there. Okay, great. Um, they rated the Packers second to last in the NFC. They did, yeah. Uh without my influence, I don't really have it. We should phone, we should see if we can get one of them on the line to explain them. That'd be funny. We should see if we can do that to have them explain themselves. Um yeah, um, so Green Bay, did you fly into Chicago and then drive up?

SPEAKER_01
8:20

Yeah, just rented a car, drove, drove up. Um, and I'll uh we drove up in the afternoon, and I kind of had a plan for a month because it was on a Friday night. Uh our first stop was Culver's after we got to ABB, so we dropped our bags off, went to Culver's. Unfortunately, it was a Friday night, so it was busy, so we had to wait for an hour. Um that's wild.

SPEAKER_00
8:40

I've never waited for more than like 30 minutes, but it was right it was right by a high school football game.

SPEAKER_01
8:45

Yeah, and then we went to the high school football game, uh Notre Dame Academy, and uh they absolutely smoked the other team 52 no. So tell the people about your first culverse experience.

SPEAKER_04
8:58

Well had you heard of had you had you guys had you guys heard of culvers before you came here? No.

SPEAKER_01
9:03

I had. Okay. I kind of she had New York all planned out, and then this portion of the trip was kind of me. She had the city of New York, and you had culvers in Notre Dame football. That's high school football. That's right, yeah. I had the big job.

SPEAKER_04
9:18

Yeah, well, I love the custard at Culver's. That was really good.

SPEAKER_00
9:24

What kind did you get?

SPEAKER_04
9:26

Just the vanilla. Vanilla, was it called concrete?

SPEAKER_01
9:30

Vanilla concrete, yeah.

SPEAKER_00
9:31

The concrete mixer. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04
9:34

Cookie dough and caramel.

SPEAKER_01
9:35

Yeah, salted caramel.

SPEAKER_00
9:36

Oh, you didn't you didn't just get vanilla then? No. So you had a how had you heard of Culver's? Just on social media? Yeah, social media. Because you get you saw some of our clips on there, right? Yes, I did, yeah. The just the Packer ones, probably circulating.

SPEAKER_01
9:51

Well, no, I saw some of your other things uh pop pop up every now and again when I was obviously looking up for stuff to do when it was my portion of the plan trip.

SPEAKER_05
9:58

So nice.

SPEAKER_00
10:00

Now you're here. Yeah, yeah, now I'm here. Crazy. Um I got the concrete mixer. You you got a butterburger.

SPEAKER_01
10:08

Yeah, it was great. It's kind of similar at home to like a Wendy's, but like ten times better.

SPEAKER_00
10:15

You're comparing Culver's to Wendy's.

SPEAKER_01
10:17

Yeah, I said it was ten times better.

SPEAKER_00
10:19

Okay, okay. Okay, what would you prefer, Culver's or Solomon's?

SPEAKER_01
10:24

Oh no, Soberwoman's is good. I like Soberman's.

SPEAKER_00
10:28

You'd go Sobleman's or something.

SPEAKER_01
10:29

Yeah, I think the atmosphere was great. Okay.

SPEAKER_04
10:32

Because they had sport playing.

SPEAKER_01
10:33

Well, they'd have sport playing. But I think the conversation was they had the brewers game on it since the conversation was great. We didn't have any conversation at Culver's. We had to wait around for an hour. So we didn't really have the basic experience.

SPEAKER_00
10:43

Yeah, I mean, Soberman's had great service. They brought out a drink with a a meal placed into the drink and another burger. And yeah, good service down there in the valley. Um, so you do that. Any other highlights from Green Bear? Do you guys just go to Minnesota the next day?

SPEAKER_01
11:00

I think that's pretty much it. Yeah, we went to the high school game. Which was great. Uh, we don't really have high school football over there or the same atmosphere for any high school sports, so um that was good to experience. So I was very hyped for that. Uh, and then the next day, yeah, we just drove to Minnesota.

SPEAKER_00
11:18

What was that drive like? That's like a four or five hour drive. Four and a half, four and a half, right across rural Wisconsin. Yeah. Was it weird seeing all the farms and stuff where you kind of do you see a little bit of that in New Zealand?

SPEAKER_04
11:31

Uh cornfield after cornfield.

SPEAKER_00
11:34

And then Red Barns. You see some animals too?

SPEAKER_04
11:38

Some horses and cows.

SPEAKER_01
11:39

Some dead raccoons.

SPEAKER_00
11:41

Saw a dead raccoon.

SPEAKER_01
11:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00
11:43

You didn't run over a raccoon.

SPEAKER_01
11:45

No, no, that was good. It was dead before we got there. Um, and then yeah, I think that's when we also made our first stop at a quick trip.

unknown
11:53

Oh.

SPEAKER_01
11:53

Which was an experience.

SPEAKER_04
11:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_00
11:55

Caitlin, what did you think of Quirk Trip?

SPEAKER_04
11:56

We like Quick Trip. We like it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00
12:01

What'd you like about it? Did it was it mind-blowing or was it like, oh, this is just a nice place.

SPEAKER_01
12:06

What was kind of like a gas station in New Zealand or a petrol station, as we call it. Uh you just kind of go in, you pay for your gas, you maybe grab a snack and then you leave. Um, you don't really have a whole assortment of food on display. Um, and then you don't have a whole like coffee bar at the back and um clean bathrooms. The bathrooms are immaculate. That was nice. Yeah, shout out to Quick Trip. The bathrooms are amazing. Why? Normally you go into like a gas station bathroom and you just kind of like brace yourself. But no, that was nice.

SPEAKER_00
12:41

So the the pet the petrol station bathrooms are probably similar to most American BP bathrooms or other gas stations. Yeah, we have BP. You go you go in, you you you kind of lock it and just hope you can get out.

SPEAKER_01
12:55

Yeah, then find some uh hand sanitizer afterwards.

SPEAKER_00
12:58

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Did you get any food from Quick Trip or just admire the the selection?

SPEAKER_04
13:04

The food isn't that great.

SPEAKER_00
13:07

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. You're gonna anger people. Hopefully you'll be allowed back in the state, Caitlin. What what did you try and you did not like at Quick Trip?

SPEAKER_04
13:16

A crispy chicken burger. I think it was uh maybe a day old. Maybe that's why. Uh Quick Trip.

SPEAKER_01
13:25

Uh yeah, that was the first time. Uh, and then the second time we just had like a breakfast croissant.

SPEAKER_00
13:32

Is that a little better?

SPEAKER_01
13:32

That was hex better.

SPEAKER_04
13:33

Okay, so Quick Trip redeemed itself.

SPEAKER_00
13:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04
13:37

So yeah, we carried on along the bumpy roads.

SPEAKER_00
13:42

Are they bumpy outside of Milwaukee or just in Milwaukee?

SPEAKER_01
13:46

I think it was kind of all over the show a little bit.

SPEAKER_04
13:48

Just through the Wisconsin state.

SPEAKER_01
13:50

But Milwaukee's probably worse.

SPEAKER_00
13:53

Did you run into any any they're called potholes.

SPEAKER_01
13:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00
13:57

Where there's a hole in the road, hence a pothole.

SPEAKER_01
14:00

We call them potholes too.

SPEAKER_00
14:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01
14:02

Yep. Uh there's there's a couple of those here and there. Uh and then Caitlin, when we're driving kind of along the road, sometimes she's on her phone while I'm driving. And I kind of have to be like, pothole coming up, just to warn her that she doesn't just get a fright when we just hit the hit the pothole in the road. Yeah, but when it's large enough.

SPEAKER_00
14:21

Oh man, you run into some big ones in rural Wisconsin. Yeah, a couple of them.

SPEAKER_04
14:26

And not when there's cars driving way faster than we are.

SPEAKER_00
14:30

Oh yeah, you made a comment about the speed limit when we were talking here.

SPEAKER_01
14:34

Yeah. Yeah. So like back home, the speed limit's kind of the speed limit. Yeah. Like by definition of the word speed limit. Whereas here we notice that if you're going the speed limit, you look a little bit like a dick because everyone kind of just goes speeding past you.

SPEAKER_00
14:50

Yeah, we got ten ten over is the speed limit. We know that now. Yeah. Alright, you're learning. Probably just don't do that. If you get pulled over back home, you just get a a ticket and keep going.

SPEAKER_01
15:01

Pretty much. Yeah. Well, you either get a warning depending on how fast you're going, or you do get a ticket.

SPEAKER_00
15:06

No, okay, so it's nothing too bad. No, nothing too bad. What'd you think of Minneapolis?

SPEAKER_03
15:12

We liked it. We liked the city.

SPEAKER_01
15:14

It was nice.

SPEAKER_03
15:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00
15:15

Yeah. Were you all just there two nights?

SPEAKER_01
15:19

Uh yeah, it was two nights.

SPEAKER_00
15:21

Um was Saturday and Sunday, probably.

SPEAKER_01
15:24

Yeah. Yeah. And then yeah, after the game, we kind of had like half a day.

SPEAKER_04
15:29

Yeah. We went to the Mall of America.

SPEAKER_00
15:31

Oh, what'd you think? A Mall of America.

SPEAKER_04
15:34

There's a theme park inside.

SPEAKER_00
15:36

We did go on the American American American. Yeah, there is a theme park inside. We grew up an hour away from there.

SPEAKER_01
15:42

Uh we did go on a couple of theme park rides, which were kind of the mall? Yeah, we're a bit more extreme than we first anticipated, but um uh it was good. It was a good experience. The mall does seem like a little bit run down. Was anyone there or was it just uh not as not as busy as you'd expect it for the size of it, I think.

SPEAKER_00
16:03

Okay. Yeah. Any other highlights from Minneapolis?

SPEAKER_01
16:08

Uh I don't know.

SPEAKER_00
16:13

What do you think of the game? Have you been to many major sporting events before?

SPEAKER_01
16:18

Just at home. Um yeah, nothing to the scale of like an NFL kind of production, I guess as they call it. Um that was insane.

SPEAKER_00
16:30

Um that stadium's massive. Yeah, like you watched. Those are those are you hadn't been there before, had you, Brie? Yeah, those are first time there. I think that was my first time ever going. It was my first time ever going to a Packer away game, too. Um the fans were really nice. At least they were to me.

SPEAKER_04
16:50

I was a little bit worried about helping. I was like, how are the Vikings fans gonna be?

SPEAKER_00
16:57

Because the Vikings fans I know around Milwaukee, like Shane Krangle, who wears Vikings overalls and paints his face, is so fucking annoying when the Vikings are doing well. At least he wasn't. I thought I thought a lot of Vikings fans would be like that. And um at least before the game, Bree and I had to leave at halftime because we had technical difficulties on the production we were doing. So um we didn't have a very good performance there, similar to the to the Packers in that sense, but we got to miss the meltdown. But so I can only speak to the the pre-game experience in the first half, but like yeah, I mean, people yelled skull at us and stuff, but in in a in a in a friendly jabbing way. And every everyone was nice. We talked to at the bars. I mean, ever mostly everyone talked to us, or they were polite. Yeah, I remember the first place we went, I think it was the crooked tap. Um, that was a good good brewery that we stopped at. Yeah, some guy like bumped me while ordering a beer and apologized, and he was a Vikings fan. I was like, they got some Midwest nice. Yeah, yeah. You're in Minneapolis. So um Minnesota nice. Yeah, shout out to the Vikings fans. I did not I did not expect that at all based on the Vikings fans I know in Milwaukee.

SPEAKER_04
18:08

So and we we joined a really nice tailgate. Yeah, most of them were Vikings fans, and yeah, they were all really nice towards us as well.

SPEAKER_01
18:20

Yeah, because we weren't too sure we wanted to tailgate, we weren't too sure where to go the day before. So Caitlin actually just posted in this Facebook group, um, the Die Hard Packers fan group or whatever. And we got so many responses, and yeah, we had I think Jill read read Jill reached out to us and said come along. So after running into you guys at at one of the uh one of the bars, we ended up going there, and yeah, we did our first shot ski.

SPEAKER_04
18:48

Um it was a pickle shot.

SPEAKER_01
18:50

The pickle and vodka shot shot ski, and that was fucking Minnesota.

SPEAKER_00
18:54

At least at least at least give the New Zealanders something nice to drink.

SPEAKER_01
18:58

Yeah, it wasn't great. Like I don't I don't dislike pickles, but I did for about a day or so after that.

SPEAKER_00
19:03

We'll give you a better shot ski at Lambeau when you come when you come back. Yeah, that'd be nice. We can do that. Probably can't get too much worse than the uh the pickle vodka shot in Minneapolis. Um but yeah, that was uh that was a cool experience going there for the first time. And uh yeah, I I think Lambo, I'm looking forward to you seeing Lambeau at some point because it's such a special place, it's like in the middle of a neighborhood which is completely foreign. Like the thing about US Bank is um really nice stadium, but it's in the middle of downtown. And there it surprised me that there was only one bar. Yeah, what seemed like around the entire stadium because that place must just print money on game days, and you'd think it would get other traffic, you know, on the off days. Um you'd think there'd be more bars around, and then they had that concert going on, which was cool, but that um shuts down when the game starts. So uh yeah, even like the Pfizer, if you go to a Bucks game, kind of very close to where you guys are staying, like yeah, you can literally walk to like 30, 40 bars within a few blocks of there where you know I was kind of surprised it wasn't like that in Minneapolis. Um but then you came back, you've spent the last 24 hours in in Milwaukee.

SPEAKER_04
20:18

Well, yeah. Where have you gone? We hit the road and came through the bumpy road and came through.

SPEAKER_01
20:23

We go we hit the bumpy road and we stopped in the Wisconsin Dells on the way to Milwaukee.

SPEAKER_00
20:27

Oh geez.

SPEAKER_01
20:28

Uh tell me about it.

SPEAKER_00
20:31

What went through your mind in the Wisconsin Dells?

SPEAKER_04
20:34

We were kind of like, what is this place?

SPEAKER_01
20:37

Yeah, because we just wanted a place to stop over on the way through, and Caitlin found a boat tour, but then we started driving into town, and it was kind of like half town, half amusement park, half like fair ground. Like every every store looked like there was I think there was a store that just did like cheese croquet. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04
21:00

Do they give you an actual cheese ball? And then you get to play croquet.

SPEAKER_01
21:04

I've never heard of cheese croquet. I can't say I have either until that point. You you you read it correctly? I I I read it a couple times just to be sure, yeah. Um but we uh then we just did the the boat tour with the rest of the old folks.

SPEAKER_00
21:19

That was the Dells boat tour.

SPEAKER_01
21:20

It was lovely, it was really nice. We went through uh the Upper Dells Tour and we went to the Witches Gulch, did the walkthrough there and to the Stand Rock. And Stand Rock, uh and I was just photographer for most of the time.

SPEAKER_04
21:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00
21:37

Oh, Witches Gulch is really pretty, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01
21:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00
21:40

Yeah, I've never been there.

SPEAKER_01
21:41

It's kind of a weird, surreal place to kind of walk through, and it just doesn't seem like it should be there, but it is next to all the amusement parks and Noah's Ark and And yeah, the water parks and everything else, yeah.

SPEAKER_00
21:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03
21:54

Because he said that it's the water park capital of the world.

SPEAKER_00
22:00

SPEAKER_01
22:15

Yeah. Can't say we're in the mood to do any water parks.

22:18

SPEAKER_03
22:27

Supper club.

SPEAKER_00
22:28

How'd you describe a supper club? Usually you kind of step back in time almost. Almost kind of like you're if it's a good one. You'll feel like you're in the 60s or 70s. Get nice old fashioned. We just had one of those over at Great Lakes, so at least you got one of those. Usually a fish fry. Yep. Some steaks. You usually see taxidermy on the wall. Like, you know, just deer heads on the wall staring at you. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good time. Oh shit, we forgot to get pull tabs, Bri. There's put there's pull tabs at those places as well. Um yeah, those are good spots. How's Milwaukee been?

SPEAKER_01
23:09

Milwaukee's been great. Yeah. Kind of uh it would have been good to see a brewer's game. Uh, but just the timing obviously was off.

SPEAKER_00
23:18

Yeah, I can't believe you guys came. No, the Packers were away and the brewers were away.

SPEAKER_01
23:22

What are the what are the chances? I think it was just poor time, poor planning on my part. I'll I'll take responsibility for that one. But um, yeah, that would have been the one thing extra I would have liked have liked to see. Um, but we did uh the lakefront brewery today. Got some uh fish curds, uh some cheese curds and some beer. Uh what else did we do? We saw the market.

SPEAKER_04
23:43

Yeah, walked along the road front.

SPEAKER_00
23:44

Well the public the public market.

SPEAKER_01
23:46

SPEAKER_00
24:05

You probably didn't have to wait an hour. No, it was back there. It was about instant. It was about a minute and a half. Yeah. Good service over at over at Lakefront. Um, yeah. Any and at public market, you go anywhere in there and just walk around. Just had a walk around. Yeah. And then did you walk around the third ward area?

SPEAKER_01
24:36

Uh I think we just pulled up by the uh the art museum and just kind of had a had a brief walk along the waterfront. It was nice. It's kind of weird seeing a lake and then not being able to see the other side. Just seeing the horizon, that's about it.

SPEAKER_00
24:48

It's like an ocean, right?

SPEAKER_01
24:49
