Country Climb with Audra McLaughlin, Drunk Monkeys & Friday Shenanigans

Send us Fan MailToday’s episode of The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends is packed from start to finish! We kick things off with our Country Climb Artist of the Week, direct from Austin Burke’s Playlisted Podcast — the incredible Audra McLaughlin! We chat with her about her journey, her music, and debut her brand-new single “Hate Being Me” on Arizona radio. Later in the show, Show Low’s own Dave Ramsey even calls in to request another Audra track, Beautiful Pain!Then we check in with Jineane Ford from our sister station Majik 101.7, who brings some fun Friday news — including why cats meow louder for men (because men don’t listen!) and the story of monkeys who might be getting… a little drunk. Chris and Jineane also share everything happening this weekend across the White Mountains.Next up, Chris’s wife Andrea delivers another Hallmark Christmas Movie Review — this time for Operation Nutcracker. And just when we think the show is wrapped, everyone’s favorite redneck Paul from Beaumont sneaks away from work to call in (very quietly!) for a bonus round of Are You Smarter Than a Redneck?Music, laughter, Christmas chaos, and one of the best voices in country music — it’s all inside today’s episode of The Morning Brew!
