From Cowboys to Sitcoms: Good News & Little League

Send us Fan MailTalk About Something Good Tuesday on The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends starts at full speed — literally. The phones light up with a call from Virgil, a working cowboy in Eagar, hauling cattle across the White Mountains. Chris answers out of breath, proving cardio is optional in morning radio, and Virgil walks us through how cattle roundups really work before putting in a song request for the ranch hands listening in.Then the show takes a powerful turn with a call from Kirk Nurmi, who shares the amazing news of stepping into a lead role in a new sitcom. Kirk opens up about the moment he chose happiness over prestige — after his final chemo treatment — and how that decision led him from the courtroom to the creative world of acting. It’s a reminder that second acts can be just as meaningful as first careers.We keep the good news rolling with Jineane Ford, trading feel-good stories before welcoming Jason and Richard from Mountain Pines Little League into the studio. We cover early registration deadlines, discounts, opening day at Mountain Meadows Park on April 11, and the behind-the-scenes roles that make a season happen — from coaches and volunteers to paid umpire opportunities for teens and adults. The segment wraps with a fun baseball movie quiz that taps into classic sports nostalgia.It’s a morning built on grit, gratitude, and community — from the cattle trail to the ball field — and a reminder that something good is always happening if you stop and listen.
