The RNC happened in Milwaukee and got plenty of mixed reactions. After the perception of an economic windfall, some businesses absolutely thrived while others had their slowest weeks in months. But what actually happened and what are its effects? I brought on three Milwaukeeans who were in the trenches all last week: Omar Shaikh (RNC Host Committee, Carnivore, 3rd St Market Hall), Kristen Brey (As Goes WI, WTMJ, Journal Sentinel) and James Groh (CBS58). 

We covered the following: 

• The real economic impact of Milwaukee and why some businesses thrived and others didn’t 
• What it was like inside the perimeter 
• Craziest things seen at the convention 
• Biggest surprises covering the convention 
• Notable celebrity interactions 
• Polarizing political media 
• Overall lessons learned from the RNC coming to Milwaukee 

The Milwaukee LEGEND returns to discuss an array of topics. The last episode got a lot of people calling cap on Milverine’s walking routine. Does he really walk 45-55 miles per day? We do a mathematical analysis. 

What is the Milverine’s love life like? Are there Milverine groupies in Milwaukee? (This part is hilarious)

Additional topics include: 

• What he’s seeing around the RNC 
• Did he ever consider running for office?

How does a Milwaukee girl find herself on a reality TV show that takes place on a farm????

For those of you that don't know, Grace was on the dating show 'Farmer Wants A Wife'. A FOX original, this reality show is like the Bachelor - if only they wore cowboy boots, donned cowboy hats, and understood how to operate heavy-duty agricultural equipment.

Grace jokes that she applied 'for the plot' after her (reality-tv show obsessed) aunt mentioned the show was looking for applicants following their first season. Despite not knowing the first thing about farms, she decided to go for it:  "I live in the middle of farmland so it's kind of wild to me that I had never been on a farm before."

Following a rigorous interview process, Grace would go on to become a contestant and finalist on the show.

As reality dating TV connoisseurs, we naturally had a lot of questions for her. Joined by my partner and co-host for this episode, Bre, we got the inside scoop from Grace on what it's really like behind the scenes of a reality TV show. We hit her with questions like:

- What was it like creating an on-screen romance?

- How did you handle living with (and dating against) multiple women?

- Was the drama scripted or organic?

- Who's still together?

This is an entertaining episode full of secrets, drama, and the realities of what it was like on 'Farmer Wants A Wife'. From the prep leading up to the show (impromptu tractor lessons) to how her life has changed since, Grace tells all in the latest Milwaukee Uncut episode.
