Today on The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends, the cast of Show Low High School’s production of The Prince of Egypt stopped by the studio—and things got fun real fast.

We talked about the show, what goes into putting on a production like this, and played some games that proved these theater kids might be smarter than all of us 😅

It’s also Motivational Monday, so we shared some quotes about confidence, courage, and chasing your dreams—and picked our favorite with the cast.

We also checked in with Jineane Ford from Magic 101.7 and iTalk 106.7, and heard from JD Pepper with Timber Mesa Fire Department for a Fire Marshal Minute and a fun round of trivia.

🎭 The Prince of Egypt opens this week at Show Low High School!
📅 Shows: April 23, 24, 30 & May 1–2 at 7PM
📅 Matinees: April 25 & May 2 at 2PM
🎟️ Tickets available online or at the door

If you’re in the White Mountains, go support these incredibly talented students—you won’t regret it.

Is forgetting your partner’s birthday a dealbreaker? That’s the question we asked on today’s Relationship Advice Thursday—and the answers did not disappoint.

Chris Bennett is joined by Janine Ford from our sister stations to break down a relationship dilemma that had listeners divided. Would you stay… or walk away?

Plus, we talk about our upcoming Morning Brew 6-Year Anniversary Bash and cornhole tournament, where you could win $1,000 cash and tickets to see Kenny Chesney live at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

And congrats to Aiden from Pinetop, who calls in, gives his take on another relationship situation, and walks away with a free entry into the tournament!

It’s a fun one—great calls, great laughs, and a question that might spark a debate in your own relationship.

Today’s show got WILD 😂

We kicked off Am I the Jerk Court with a case that had everyone divided…

👉 A guy told his wife he wanted a simple birthday… but she planned a fancy dinner anyway… so he ditched her and went to Olive Garden alone.

Was he a jerk… or just doing exactly what he asked for?

Judge Jineane Ford from Majik 101.7 and Italk 106.7 gave her ruling…

…but then things got interesting when Kirk Nurmi called in with the COMPLETE opposite take.

Plus:
🎟️ We gave away Arizona Diamondbacks tickets to Bo Taylor on Jackie Robinson Day
🍔 Played “McDonald’s or Made Up” (yes… McSpaghetti is a thing 😂)
🤠 And caught up with Virgil the Cowboy from Eagar

It’s everything you love about The Morning Brew — fun, chaos, and real conversations with the Best Friends.

👉 Listen, laugh, and share with a friend who would 100% choose breadsticks over everything.

Yeah… today got a little out of hand 😭😂

We kick things off with Paul from Beaumont recapping his son’s bachelor party… and let’s just say it ended with matching tattoos in a place you probably weren’t expecting.

Then we put Paul to the test in “Are You Smarter Than a Redneck,” give away Diamondbacks tickets with a round of Dolphin Fact or Fake Fact, and wrap it all up with some feel-good stories on Talk About Something Good Tuesday.

Big thanks to Jineane Ford from Majik 101.7 and Italk 106.7 for joining us to share some good news — including a viral dad turning his daughter’s imagination into songs and the world’s oldest gorilla celebrating her birthday 🐒

It’s Motivational Monday… but we’re not taking life too seriously today 😂

We’re recapping Little League Opening Day, where Jineane Ford from Majik 101.7 and Italk 106.7 absolutely roasted Chris’s “glowing white socks” legs (and yeah… it got worse from there).

We also give away Arizona Diamondbacks tickets with a fun Scrabble Day game to Teresa from Concho, and Dave Ramsey from Show Low joins us to judge motivational quotes with a little “Boo or Cool” — and let’s just say… not everyone agrees 😅

Plus, stick around to the end for a bonus community spotlight on Global Youth Service Day with Jett Walker and Stephen Harrington.

☕️ The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends | Relationship Advice Thursday

Today’s episode gets a little… weird 😳

A woman catches her boyfriend sleeping with a pacifier and has no idea what to do — bring it up or pretend she never saw it? We break it down with our relationship expert Janine Ford.

Plus, we hook up a Best Friend with Diamondbacks tickets playing a brand new game called “Drunk or Dumb” (you won’t believe some of these stories 😂).

And we wrap things up with some brutally honest advice from Show Low’s own Dave Ramsey on a boyfriend who suddenly “doesn’t know how” to do anything around the house.

💬 Would YOU say something about the pacifier… or ignore it?

👉 Listen, laugh, and let us know what YOU would do!
