Good morning, best friends! It's Motivational Monday on The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends!

After a weekend of heavy rain and flooding across Show Low and the White Mountains, our good friend Jineane Ford joins us with an update on the storms, local flooding, and where to find important community information. Plus, she's got some exciting news of her own — her dog Mika is giving birth to puppies!

Then, Christmas has officially taken over Chris's house! Chris's wife Andrea kicks off another season of Hallmark Christmas Movie Reviews with Unwrapping Christmas: Tina's Miracle. Chris tries to guess the plot, and somehow turns it into a Christmas movie about a disgraced rapper! Andrea gives the real movie her official rating of 3½ out of 5 cups of hot cocoa.

And comedian, Army veteran, and Dry Bar Comedy performer Josh Novey joins the show! Josh talks comedy, shares some laughs, picks our Motivational Monday quote of the day, and plays a hilarious round of Hallmark or Hogwash, where he tries to figure out which ridiculous Christmas movies are real and which ones Chris completely made up!

Today's Motivational Monday theme is "Finish Strong, Start Now!" Remember, you don't have to wait until January 1st to start making positive changes.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the flooding. Please stay safe and look out for one another!

Featuring: Jineane Ford, Andrea Bennett, and comedian Josh Novey.

Recorded November 2, 2026. Flooding information reflects conditions discussed at the time of recording. Check official local sources for current alerts and road conditions.

Things got a little WILD on today's Morning Brew with Chris Bennett and Best Friends! 😂🦎

We check in with our good friend, 47-year-old Ryan McKee, and his 22-year-old roommate, Joey, in Wilmington, North Carolina!

Joey's back on the dating market, his bedroom has apparently become a wildlife sanctuary, and Ryan had to come to the rescue when an unexpected visitor showed up! 😂

And since it's Clean Up the Earth Day, we put these two to the test with some disgusting cleaning trivia! Let's just say Joey might need to spend a little more time cleaning and a little less time running from lizards!

PLUS, it's Relationship Advice Thursday! Our favorite redneck, Paul from Beaumont, joins us to help a woman whose husband refuses to help with the laundry. Paul's advice? Well... let's just say we might need to check with Rhonda to see if he's still alive! 😂

We also catch up with Janine Ford about the wild weather in Arizona's White Mountains.

And don't forget! Tomorrow we'll meet our Kay Supply Building Center Country Climb Star of the Week, Carson Mac, and hear his song "Georgia Love!"
