Every morning across the White Mountains of Arizona, radios tune in to the familiar, friendly voice of Chris Bennett as he connects with locals, shares community news, and celebrates the unique character of rural mountain life.

Today's Morning Brew showcases the authentic voices that make this region special. Virgil the Cowboy from Eager calls in with updates from his Flying V Ranch, casually mentioning UFO sightings while discussing branding season. The conversation weaves through time travel fantasies and concludes with a request for a patriotic Billy Ray Cyrus song – a perfect snapshot of the show's charm and unpredictability.

Game-changing economic news arrives when Jineane Ford announces that Zenni Home is bringing approximately 250 manufacturing jobs to the old paper mill in Holbrook. With positions for plumbers, electricians, engineers and more – plus benefits and training opportunities – this development represents a significant boost for the local economy. A career fair scheduled for June 25th offers residents a chance to get in on the ground floor of this exciting opportunity.

The community spirit continues with an announcement for the Chuckwagon Festival on August 2nd in Pinedale. This annual tradition features authentic Dutch oven cooking from 10-13 chuck wagons, with proceeds supporting the volunteer fire department. Between listener contests for Diamondbacks tickets, fairy tale trivia with regular caller "Paul from Beaumont," and promotion of AZ Native country artist Austin Burke's new music "I Missed The Boat", the Morning Brew demonstrates why it remains the heartbeat of White Mountains community life.

Join us tomorrow morning as we continue celebrating the people, events, and stories that make our mountain home special. Call in to share your news, participate in our daily contests, or simply be part of the conversation!

What really happens when husbands are left to their own devices? The Morning Brew uncovers the truth in this hilarious episode featuring Paul from Beaumont, who spent a week home alone while his wife Rhonda was away visiting friends. With nothing but "chicken wings and couch" to keep him company, Paul proudly claimed to have cleaned the house before her return—a claim that quickly unraveled during our on-air conversation.

Through our entertaining "DIY or Don't Try" game, we discovered that Paul's definition of "cleaning" was limited to vacuuming and mopping, with toilet scrubbing, laundry folding, and even making the bed firmly in the "don't try" category. Just when Paul thought he'd convinced us of his domestic prowess, we called Rhonda for the real story. Her revelation that she'd secretly arranged for a cleaning service during her absence had everyone in stitches. "He just cleans the surface," Rhonda explained, offering insight into the different cleaning standards that often exist between partners.

The episode wasn't all about Paul's housekeeping deception. We celebrated National Hydration Day with drink trivia, heard about Jineane's exciting weekend at X Diamond Ranch where she connected with Wink Kregler (soon to be inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame), and selected our motivational quote of the week from Bryant McGill: "Your calm mind is the ultimate weapon against your challenges."

Dave Ramsey brings the summer vibes as he kicks off the season with a lively "Boo or Cool" segment on the Morning Brew. With characteristic enthusiasm, Dave shares his passionate opinions on quintessential summer experiences – giving hearty approval to backyard barbecues (especially when cooking his favorite "wingy doggies") and water balloon fights, while firmly rejecting flip flops with the memorable explanation, "I hate things between my toes."

The community pulse beats strong as Jineane highlights important weekend happenings in the White Mountains. From the comprehensive safety fair at Walmart featuring impressive emergency vehicles and demonstrations to a heartfelt fundraiser breakfast supporting a young couple facing serious pregnancy complications, listeners receive valuable information about ways to enjoy their weekend while supporting their neighbors in need. The genuine concern for community members facing medical challenges reveals the show's deep connection to local listeners and their lives.

What makes this episode especially memorable is the celebration of American Eagle Day, packed with fascinating facts about our national symbol. Did you know eagles lack vocal cords and possess a grip ten times stronger than a human hand? Or that they nearly vanished from American skies in the 1960s? The episode concludes with two engaging segments – Dave rating blockbuster movies (where his distaste for "Men in Black" for being "too phony" provides an unexpected laugh) and serving as judge in "Am I the Jerk Court" for a compelling roommate dispute over expensive skincare products. Join us for this perfect blend of summer fun, community connection, fascinating facts, and everyday wisdom that will leave you entertained and informed.
