Doghouses, Cowboys & Junk Food Face-Offs: A Brewed-For-You Monday

Send us a text

Wake up with a smile as Chris Bennett brews the perfect morning blend of laughter, community connection, and heartwarming moments. Join the conversation as locals share their stories and participate in delightfully quirky games that turn ordinary Mondays into opportunities for joy.

When Brian from Pinedale calls in, the show transforms into a humorous exploration of National Get Out of the Doghouse Day, determining which relationship faux pas deserve banishment to the metaphorical doghouse. From returning empty milk containers to the fridge to more serious transgressions, the conversation captures the everyday dynamics we all navigate in relationships.

The heartbeat of small-town America pulses through the airwaves when Virgil the Cowboy shares his monthly hospital check-up routine and offers his quintessentially Western solution for entertaining alien visitors: "Put him on a horse." These authentic moments are balanced with practical community updates about Show Low High School's back-to-school days and seasoned with thoughtful motivation from Henry David Thoreau, reminding us to "launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."

First-time caller Joyce wins tickets to Chris Bennett's Comedy Birthday Bash through a playful Junk Food Face-Off game, creating a moment of genuine connection as Chris expresses excitement about introducing someone to their first-ever comedy show experience. These interactions aren't just entertainment—they're the threads that weave our community together, reminding us that in this fast-paced world, it's the simple moments of human connection that truly matter. Whether you're a long-time listener or just discovering the show, you're invited to sit back, sip your coffee, and become part of our Morning Brew family.
