Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy made a joking confession about his bladder during the team's championship parade, according to a Fox News report on Murphy's parade remark. The headline of the report says Murphy described his biggest challenge during the parade as not peeing himself.

The report's summary says the remark had the crowd "roaring" at the end of the parade route. The summary places the crowd's reaction at the end of the route but does not describe the exchange in further detail.

The headline and summary agree on the substance of the remark. The headline uses the phrase "peeing himself," while the summary refers more generally to Murphy's bladder. Neither describes the exact wording Murphy used beyond those terms, so this account does not quote him directly.

The material available for this story does not include the full text of the Fox News report, a transcript of Murphy's words, or details about where or when the parade took place. It also does not identify the championship the parade celebrated. Those details are not confirmed here.

The remark, as described, concerned a personal and lighthearted matter rather than a team decision or public policy. Neither the headline nor the summary addresses any other part of the parade.

This account rests on a single Fox News item. No other outlet's coverage of the remark was among the sources provided, so the crowd's reaction and the wording of the remark are not independently confirmed.
