Boundaries, Briskets, and Belly Laughs

Send us Fan MailSome mornings are just all over the map—in the best way. One minute we’re talking about a country artist stirring headlines with a new protest song, the next we’re tracking Tropical Storm Priscilla and scouting a pop-up haunt night before the rain hits. It’s sharp takes, local updates, and a court case so perfectly petty you’ll send it to your group chat before the verdict drops.We start with a look at music, message, and how artists walk that line between storytelling and politics without losing their audience. Then we swing practical—storm prep tips, flood awareness, and one last chance to hit Willis Farms’ haunted night before the weather crashes the party.“Am I the Jerk” brings the week’s funniest courtroom: a future mother-in-law who opens every package in the house. The ruling? Manners, boundaries, and one strategically embarrassing delivery that finally gets the point across.Friend of the show Paul from Beaumont checks in 27 pounds lighter, swapping Ding Dongs for oranges and pudding for yogurt, and dropping the most accurate metaphor we’ve heard: “Progress stalls like a brisket—then it climbs again.” We turn that into a quick, hilarious “Are You Smarter Than a Redneck” health quiz covering protein myths, sugar traps, and lawn-mowing cardio wins.To close, comedian Zac Allen  joins us ahead of the Best of Phoenix Stand-Up Showcase November 1st at the Show Low Elks Lodge. From Montana open mics to Phoenix clubs and opening for Billy Gardell, he brings stories, laughs, and a game of “Arizona or Montana” that proves cowboys exist everywhere.🎟️ Comedy Show Info: VIP $30 | GA $20 Doors, Aliberto’s food truck, and bar open at 5 PM Show at 6:30 PM | Nov 1 | Show Low Elks Lodge Tickets at ChrisBennettComedy.comIf you love real talk, good laughs, and a morning that moves from weather to wisdom without missing a beat, hit play.
