    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.

    Jun 19 2025

    Relationships and safety take center stage as we dive into both matters of the heart and practical community protection in this dynamic episode. When our regular relationship expert is unavailable, Producer Ryan steps up with his unique perspective on dating standards. Is it shallow to only pursue Instagram-model types when you don't fit that mold yourself? Ryan's surprising take: dream big and aim high! After all, personality often trumps looks, and dating "out of your league" happens more than you might think.

    We then pivot to community safety with a comprehensive preview of Show Low Walmart's Community Safety Fair happening this Saturday. This free event brings together an impressive array of first responders and safety organizations from across the White Mountains. The Show Low Police Department will demonstrate off-highway vehicle safety while letting kids explore their massive SWAT truck. The Arizona Rangers will tackle the critical issue of proper child car seat installation, addressing common mistakes that put children at risk. Meanwhile, Navajo County Sheriff's Office will showcase their K-9 unit and drone technology, while other organizations cover everything from water safety to electrical hazards.

    The episode takes a fun turn with our "Law or No Law" game, testing our guests' knowledge of bizarre regulations from around the country. Did you know it's illegal to let a donkey sleep in your bathtub in Arizona? Or that Georgia prohibits tying giraffes to telephone poles? These surprising facts highlight the entertaining side of law enforcement while showcasing the approachable nature of our local safety experts. Whether you're looking for dating wisdom or practical safety knowledge, this episode delivers valuable insights wrapped in our signature Morning Brew humor. Don't miss the Community Safety Fair this Saturday—your family's protection is worth the visit!

  • Worth the Splurge? Celebrity Extravagance and School Building Dreams
    Jun 18 2025

    What happens when a man plans to propose at his ex-girlfriend's wedding? Judge Janine weighs in with her bedazzled robe and no-nonsense attitude in this episode's Am I The Jerk Court. The verdict? Surprise proposals at someone else's wedding—especially your ex's—might just be the definition of tacky.

    We're joined in studio by Steph G and Jen B from St Anthony's Catholic Private School, who share exciting news about their school's future. After operating from the back of St Rita's Parish since 2006, they're finally building their own dedicated facility. With small class sizes capped at 18 students and open enrollment for all denominations, they're creating something special for White Mountain families. Their Starlit Soiree fundraiser on July 19th at the Gathering Place in Pinetop promises to be an unforgettable evening under the mountain stars.

    National Splurge Day brings out confessions of extravagant purchases—from Ryan's manic-episode-induced $5,000 bed to celebrities' outrageous indulgences. Is Beyoncé's $80,000 diamond-encrusted Barbie justified? What about Paris Hilton's $325,000 dog mansion? Our hosts and guests debate what's worth the splurge and what's just wasteful excess.

    The podcast-exclusive segment delivers the most unexpected story: Ryan's date with a dominatrix. Despite anticipating a wild evening, he experienced "the most normal date ever" with someone who confessed that "nobody ever takes her on dates." It's a reminder that people are always more than their jobs or appearances—and that a mini-golf date in dinosaur costumes might just be the perfect second date.

    Join us for laughter, community news, and surprising human moments. And remember to be nice to yourself, be nice to others, and don't be a jerk!
