It’s Wayback Wednesday on The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends!

Virgil the Cowboy calls back to finally reveal the big birthday surprise he got for his cowgirl friend Jolene — and Chris definitely wasn’t expecting THIS.

Plus, Dave Ramsey helps judge Boo or Cool and picks our Wayback Wednesday Song of the Day, giving Scott his FOURTH victory in a row over Russell!

Then we head to Am I the Jerk Court for two juicy cases. Nicole from Holbrook helps decide whether a man was a jerk for sarcastically saying “you’re welcome” after someone failed to thank him for holding the door — and Michelle from St. Johns weighs in on a baby’s middle name that has caused a full-blown family feud.

Oh, and we give away a bunch of Arizona Diamondbacks tickets along the way!

It’s another morning of laughs, callers and small-town shenanigans on QCountry 92.5!

It’s Talk About Something Good Tuesday on The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends!

Chris and Jineane Ford are back after the long weekend, catching up on their adventures—including Chris’s wife accidentally packing all the clothes she DIDN’T want for their trip to Salt Lake City. Then they share some good news and look ahead to special 9/11 remembrance events happening around the White Mountains.

Show Low’s own Dave Ramsey joins the fun for National Actors Day with Boo or Cool before trying to figure out whether some absolutely ridiculous book titles are real or completely made up.

Then our best friend Paul from Beaumont joins us with a Labor Day cooking story that almost ended with chicken-feed pellets in his smoker, followed by another round of Are You Smarter Than a Redneck?

But today’s episode ends on a very special note. Paul shares the story of his friend, U.S. Army Specialist Lauro Garcia De Leon III, whom he lost 22 years ago, and the song Paul wrote in his memory, “Left Behind.”

We’re honored to share Paul’s complete song at the end of today’s episode.

Plenty of laughs, some good news, and a heartfelt reminder to remember the soldiers, veterans, and families who have sacrificed so much.

Thanks for being one of our best friends. Be nice to yourself, be nice to others, and don’t be a jerk.

Our Country Climb Star of the Week, Christopher James, joins The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends!

Christopher’s Country Climb is a little different. Before stepping out with his own country artist project, he had already spent more than 20 years serving as a professional musician in the U.S. Army, building a career as a performer, producer, arranger and engineer.

Christopher takes us from growing up in small-town Ohio and learning guitar while deployed in Iraq to performing with the U.S. Army Band in Washington, D.C., experiencing some incredible pinch-me moments with major names in music — and eventually getting the call to open for Garth Brooks.

We also hear the story behind his new song, “What If I,” which he took from start to finish in just three days.

Plus, Best Friend Dave Rowe calls in for a little Fun Fact or Fake Fact and plays for four tickets to see headliner Don Friesen September 26 at the Show Low Elks Lodge.

A huge thank-you to Shawn Burke, Austin Burke and the Playlisted Podcast for introducing us to another great independent country artist.
