We kick off the morning with a Big Wig Trivia showdown and an instant win as Eli from Taylor scores AZ Renaissance Festival tickets in a fast, funny start that sets the tone for the day.

Then we welcome stand-up comedian Patrick Kean to the show ahead of Patrick Kean and Friends at Mic Drop Chandler (Wednesday, February 4th). Patrick and Chris swap stories from the road, what it’s like performing “in the round,” and the behind-the-scenes systems that make great comedy rooms feel effortless. The conversation turns competitive with a Super Bowl trivia challenge that proves Patrick might just be smarter than a very handsome radio DJ.

Jineane jumps in with nerd news updates before we dive into a real-life relationship advice segment: a woman gives birth in a friend’s car and suddenly finds herself blamed for the mess. We break down empathy, boundaries, and what grace actually looks like when friendships get complicated.

We wrap with a redemption win in Big Wig Trivia, and a listener moment that turns “donate” into “designate” before finally landing on “dedicate” — the kind of live radio chaos that makes mornings memorable.

Two ticket giveaways, one bold redneck philosopher, and a costume debate nobody saw coming.

We kick things off with a Curmudgeon Day challenge as callers battle real vs. fake headlines for Arizona Renaissance Festival tickets — from duck drama to neighborly nonsense. Brian from Pinedale swings and misses, opening the door for Susan from Snowflake to swoop in for the win.

Then Paul from Beaumont checks in with a no-filter weight loss update after using “the fat shot,” sharing what it’s really like maintaining after quick results. He sticks around for Relationship Advice Thursday, where a listener asks how to respond to their partner’s plan for a “sexy baby” costume — and Paul delivers a blunt but hilarious take on boundaries and communication.

We wrap things up with Puzzle Day and a fast-paced riddle round that sends River from Snowflake home with another set of Renaissance Festival tickets.

It’s a morning packed with laughs, honesty, and just enough wisdom to keep things interesting. Subscribe, share with a friend, and let us know — where do YOU draw the line on “sexy baby”? 🎭😆

A vacuum sparks a neighborhood standoff, and Am I The Jerk court is officially in session. We kick things off with a listener-judge ruling on whether you owe moving help to the same neighbor who called the cops on your Saturday cleaning. Is it about being kind—or keeping your boundaries intact? The verdict sets the tone for a morning full of laughs, logic, and a little moral math.

Things get wild fast with Rattlesnake Roundup Day trivia, mixing fun facts with real-world safety as we test whether Brian from Pinedale is smarter than a very handsome radio DJ.

Then court reconvenes for a family dilemma: WWE tickets, a rescheduled baby shower, and a house volunteered without permission. We unpack sunk costs, personal space, and why being “reliable” can sometimes get you steamrolled.

Two cases, one message: courtesy matters—but so does standing your ground. Press play, cast your verdict, and join the conversation. Be nice to yourself, be nice to others, and don’t be the jerk.

Good vibes take the wheel on Talk About Something Good Tuesday, and the phones light up with laughs, wins, and stories that restore a little faith in humanity. We kick things off with vacation-themed trivia for Arizona Renaissance Festival tickets, where a rocky start opens the door for a comeback victory and sets the tone for a morning full of surprises.

Jineane Ford joins us from our sister stations Majik 101.7 and iTalk 106.7 to share a round of good news, from a dusty porch crock that turned into a $32,000 antique surprise to teens in Virginia restoring donated cars and gifting them to single moms—proof that small acts can drive big change.

Paul from Beaumont returns for an “Are You Smarter Than a Redneck: Travel Edition,” calling in from what sounds like the world’s echoiest bathroom and running away with a “Trip to Nowhere” victory. We wrap with Sharon Kaiser sharing an inspiring update from the Darren Reed Foundation, including scholarships and community programs helping White Mountain students and schools.

If you need laughs, heart, and a reminder that good still shows up every day, this one’s for you. Follow the show, share it with a friend, and tell us—what good news made your week better?

Big stages, small-town heart, and a morning full of wins. We kick things off with Country News Minute as we cheer on one of our past Country Climb Stars of the Week and Playlisted Podcast A-Lister, Julian Kalel, who begins his journey on American Idol tonight. From mental health advocacy to national TV dreams, we celebrate what it means to chase something bigger while staying grounded in purpose.

Then Timber Mesa Fire Department Fire Marshal JD Pepper joins us for a must-hear Fire Marshal Minute, sharing simple winter safety tips that can protect homes and save lives — from smoke detector checks to smart space heater habits.

The fun keeps rolling with a four-ticket giveaway to the Arizona Renaissance Festival, where Spouse Day trivia stumps one caller and crowns another champion. Paul from Beaumont checks in to talk comedy, picks our Motivational Monday quote of the week, and we close things out with a round of Boo or Cool judged by Show Low’s own Dave Ramsey.

National buzz, local voices, and a whole lot of laughs — this is The Morning Brew at its best. Subscribe, share the episode, and tell us what you’re calling Boo or Cool this week.

Friday brings the fun—and a country radio first. We kick things off with a double ticket giveaway, sending one lucky caller to an ASU men’s basketball showdown in Tempe and another family to the Arizona Renaissance Festival when it opens January 31st. National Pie Day keeps things light as we play Spot the Real and Fake Fun Fact, slicing into trivia that’s equal parts ridiculous and delicious.

Jineane Ford checks in with a fresh round of nerd news before we roll into the main event: our Country Climb Star of the Week, Aaron Newsome, sent our way by Austin Burke and the Playlisted Podcast. The Pontiac, Illinois native shares his journey from choir kid to country storyteller and introduces us to his breakout single Dead Animal Bar—a song so rooted in a real place and real people that it literally helped him book the venue it’s named after. We spin it for its country radio premiere and talk writing, influences, and staying true to small-town stories that hit everywhere.

We wrap things up with Paul from Beaumont, a wild comedy club story involving a toilet seat, and a round of Are You Smarter Than a Redneck: Football Edition to close out a jam-packed Friday.

Follow Aaron Newsome Music, download Dead Animal Bar, and stick around for quarterly releases as he builds toward a full album. Subscribe, share the show, and leave a review—Friday radio is better with friends.

Relationship Advice Thursday kicks off with a giveaway and a curveball. We hand out tickets to the 38th Annual Arizona Renaissance Festival and put Will from Taylor in the expert chair for today’s first dilemma: a 22-year-old who’s been hiding a “small” secret from his girlfriend — his naturally curly hair is actually a perm. We talk through why little lies can feel big in relationships, how to own the truth without making it worse, and what honesty really costs and gives back.

Between cases, we roll into a Country News Minute, spotlighting Dolly Parton’s milestone release supporting pediatric cancer research, Brad Paisley’s unforgettable dad moment with Mick Jagger, and Midland’s road-worn new song “Marlboro Man.”

Then we tackle a second, very real household debate: when one partner works long shifts and the other stays home with three kids, how should chores and childcare really be divided? We break down expectations, teamwork, and simple ways couples can reset from “helping” to actually sharing the load.

Laughs, giveaways, and real talk — it’s a morning built on honesty, balance, and better conversations at home.

It's Wednesday and Am I The Jerk Court is in session, and the cases are wild. We kick things off by giving away tickets to the 38th Annual Arizona Renaissance Festival and appointing Logan from Taylor as our official judge. His first ruling? A neighborhood showdown after a duck runs under a truck, a $200 payment changes hands, and the big question lands: if you pay for the duck, do you get to eat it — or does it still deserve a pet’s burial? It’s small-town logic with surprisingly big lessons about responsibility, ownership, and empathy.

Then we head into the digital age with a modern etiquette case. A boyfriend uses AI to “clean up” his Instagram profile picture — by erasing his girlfriend from her own birthday photo. Is it harmless social media polish, or a red flag about boundaries and respect? We break down trust, transparency, and how online choices spill into real-life feelings.

Along the way, we check in with Jineane Ford for some polite cutdowns, welcome a passionate call from Kirk Nurmi, and get a no-nonsense verdict from Jan from Heber, who has a strong opinion on spending $200 on a duck. Laughs, rulings, and community energy carry this one from start to finish.

Subscribe, share your verdict, and remember: be kind, be honest, and don’t be a jerk.
