One day in 2010, John Frank Hamann was approached by a stranger at Veterans Park who excitedly came running up to him with his cell phone “You're the Milverine!” the man said.  The newly appointed Milverine was a combination of amused and confused.  The jacked, power-walking construction worker had no idea that he had a dedicated Facebook fan page and a Reddit thread of people tracking sightings of his whereabouts around the city and that he was gaining a cult following. 

His life hasn't been the same since and he even has a Vice documentary with over 8 million views.

In this episode, we get to know the man behind Milverine and cover a wide range of topics including

How much he walks every day (it's mind-blowing)His strict diet routine Why he doesn't leave Milwaukee (like ever, not even on vacation) How well he knows the city he loves during a round of Milwaukee trivia And more
