The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett
Horses, Hits, and Hops: Country Climb with Austin Burke + Jineane Ford’s Wild Ride
It’s a jam-packed edition of The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends as we spotlight this week’s Country Climb Star of the Week: Austin Burke — a Scottsdale native turned Nashville powerhouse whose viral songs and Playlisted podcast are changing the game for independent country artists. We talk to Austin about his journey from singing the national anthem at age three to landing a publishing deal with Thomas Rhett’s Home Team.
But the biggest surprise comes from beloved local legend Jineane Ford, who shares her shocking story after being off the air — she was kicked by a horse during a trail ride and had to be air evacuated with a broken leg. Her story is one of resilience, community response, and recovery (complete with a wound vac and all). We’re sending healing vibes her way!
Then, to wrap things up, our favorite redneck Paul from Beaumont joins us for a rowdy round of “Beer Fact or Redneck Fiction” in honor of International Beer Day. From whale testicle brews to beer spas, you’ll never guess what’s real and what’s just good ol’ fashioned country nonsense.
This episode has it all — heart, humor, and a whole lot of hops. Hit play and subscribe to stay connected to your small-town morning show with big-time feels.

Speaker 1:Dude, I'm taking you on the road with me to introduce me before every show.
Speaker 3:Anytime, dude, the first time I ever saw you was at Country Thunder.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Didn't you propose?
Speaker 1:I did. Yeah, I've played Country Thunder a few times, but the last time I played, dierks had me on stage and I proposed to my wife and it was just. It was incredible. Definitely one of those moments you look back and you're just like I don't know how that happened, but it was really cool.
Speaker 3:I can't believe I was there and I'm getting to meet you now, kind of in person, and we're going to find out about your musical journey, your awesome podcast that's doing great things for independent artists. But before we get started, I like to do a little icebreaker game, rapid fire questions with this week's Country Climb Star of the Week, austin Burke. You ready, let's do it. Arizona or Tennessee? Arizona, woo, favorite Arizona restaurant.
Speaker 1:Ooh, there's this salad sauce. That's my favorite. It's a salmon salad and I love I'll go og. We used to go there after church on sundays, ajo alves. First car it was a yukon xl best gas station snack on tour. Uh, now it's probably some kind of protein bar or beef jerky, something a little healthier. I kind of went uh down that rabbit hole for a while. The junk food. The junk food doesn't sit as well as it used to.
Speaker 3:Nashville hot chicken or Sonoran hot dogs.
Speaker 1:Ooh, I'm going to go Nashville hot chicken.
Speaker 3:Ooh favorite city to perform in.
Speaker 1:Definitely Phoenix, scottsdale, anywhere in Arizona really, but definitely just home.
Speaker 3:And if you had one country song that's not one of yours that you had to request for the rest of your life, this was the only one you could request at events or on the radio. What country song are you requesting? Should've Been a Cowboy? Yes, toby Keith and I Should've Been a Cowboy too. We're going to play that right here on Q Country 92.5. We are talking to Austin Burke, this week's Country Climb Star of the Week.
Speaker 1:All right, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3:Here we go. Welcome back to the Morning Brew. We are talking to Austin Burks, this week's Country Climb Star of the Week, and really one of the guys that made it all happen. I actually got a call from his dad originally that said my son's a country artist, would you play his music? And he said it was Austin Burke.
Speaker 3:And I had heard of Austin Burke and I've listened to his music and I saw him at Country Thunder. So I was like, yeah, send him our way. And then his dad's like hey, my son has this podcast called Playlisted and would you like to showcase some independent artists? And I said absolutely. And so that's how this all started. Austin, tell us about what is the Playlisted podcast and why did you start it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's basically a music podcast and you know I started it because I'm a big fan of Kill Tony. You're a comedian, you know about that show I love.
Speaker 3:Kill Tony, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So you know, I wanted it to be sort of that way for artists to come and learn from some people that have been in town for a long time. And you know, initially I was like, oh man, we're going to rip people and their songs suck and everything. But it's. It's just not that show at all. It's become sort of a show where people get to come on and learn and grow and get better and they they call Nashville a 10 year town but, um, you know I'm trying to turn this 10 year town into a five-year town for some of these artists. So they just get insight into the business. You know we have anywhere from lawyers to, uh, you know, produce, uh producers to, uh, publishers, record label executives, you know, songwriters, artists, it's.
Speaker 1:It's a really diverse show but it's really just to give these artists a little insight into the business and how to make their song a little bit better. That's how it started With Kill Tony. I wanted there to be some kind of incentive If you get a regular. So we have regulars. I think there's now seven regulars on the show. Then there's something called the A-List, which is Austin's List. It's basically a playlist. If you make the A-List sometimes, you know, everybody will make the A-List. Sometimes nobody makes the A-List, but it's kind of a package.
Speaker 1:Now we have partnered with a bunch of cool people to get artists in front of record labels. We, you know, now are getting artists the chance to hear their song on Q Country for the first time, and it's just incredible. I, first of all, I just want to thank you for doing what you do to give these artists the opportunity to hear their song for the first time, because, just as somebody that had has had that moment, you know, it just is so special and they're never going to forget that. They're never going to forget you, they're never going to forget Q country, they're never going to forget the radio station that made that happen for them and, I think, for your listeners. It's got to be really cool too to kind of hear these artists before they're anybody you know, and they're really like blossoming before our eyes. It's so cool to see.
Speaker 3:Our listeners absolutely love this segment. Everywhere I go, and they love every artist that you have been sending our way. And why is supporting independent artists so important to you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it's really hard right now, chris. It's a weird time in the industry where you have to have money to make it, unfortunately, and you have to pump your music with a bunch of advertisements or you have to be signed to a record label or you have there's just it's really hard. It's really hard. And so my platform gives artists the opportunity to be heard, um, with with zero. Like I want nothing from them.
Speaker 1:I want nothing other than to for them to blow up and for people to hear their music and, um, it's just really cool to see fans get behind this show and get behind the podcast and want to find new music. You know it's like now people don't realize this. But Spotify, apple, all these you know I'm not going to talk bad on them, but they're like predetermined playlists, like it's so hard to find new artists now. So all these new artists that you're hearing are they're not new, they're just signed to a record label. So I want to get the raw real. The guys that are grinding, working three jobs, you know, don't have parent support. I want those guys and I really believe in them.
Speaker 3:Austin. This is so awesome, I love your podcast.
Speaker 1:Everyone should follow it. It's at playlisted pod, right it is. It's that playlist pod and I want to say, you know I love your listeners. They're so engaged there's they. They have so many personalities on there, the comments, the interaction. They are the best listeners and I just I want to take a second to thank them for supporting these guys, cause I'm telling you, you have no idea what it means to a young artist who's trying to make it, doing the best they can, to have people tell them that their music rocks. It's just it doesn't happen anymore. I love you guys, they love you. So thank you.
Speaker 3:Absolutely. We got the best listeners and we're honored to be a part of your podcast and you sending us these great artists and we love supporting these independent artists. Supporting these independent artists. We're going to be right back with Austin Burke and listen to one of his great new songs right here on QCountry 92.5. Do you want to do Roots first or do you want to do Miss the Boat, which I love? Both these songs. I want to see them live, thank you.
Speaker 1:Let's do Miss the Boat and then we can talk. You said the next segment was what, after the talking about the podcast? Um, let's see, we can talk about being from arizona and stuff and then lead into roots.
Speaker 3:If you want, okay, perfect welcome back to this week's country climb star of the week with austin burke. Austin bur Burke music and the Playlisted Pod and the man that is making this happen and letting us support these independent artists. And it's now time. We played so many other people's music and it's now time to showcase Austin Burke's music. And this next song is your latest release. Tell us a little bit about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a great summer song and you know I just I wanted something that's fun, it's something you can play on the boat, something you can listen to in the hot weather in Arizona and it's just a fun play on words country song. You know, I think Dierks Bentley, if he cut it it'd be a number one, but it's a good old fashioned 90s kind of early 2000s country song and I love it. I just wanted to put out something fun for the summer.
Speaker 3:Heck, yeah. Well, let's listen to it now and you and I will have a little dance party. Everyone, this is Austin Burke with his latest hit. I Missed the Boat on Q Country 92.5.
Speaker 2:I saved up three months of checks, gave up cigarettes every penny I pinched, but I was still sure I needed a little bit more. Yeah, that thing out on the dock was enough for a rock and a honeymoon spot in Cabo for one straight week, cause that was her dream. I got an offer over asking was about to make it happen and I saw forever flash before my eyes. And I miss the boat. I miss the wake. I miss the sun shining off that lake. Miss the ice cold beer with the boys, the full stroke making noise. I miss the bother on the water. There's some things I can't let go.
Speaker 2:Some might say I missed out on that girl, but I miss the boat. I miss the boat. He showed up in an F-152 inch hitch and a cashier's check, all ready to take her away, right hand, ready to shake Right. Then she called and called me crazy, said you're gonna miss me baby, and I couldn't sit here and watch her sail away. Hey, cause I miss the boat. I miss the wake. I miss the sun shining off that lake. Miss the ice cold beer with the boys, the full stroke making noise. I miss the bobber on the water. There's some things I can't let go. Some might say I've missed out on that girl, but I missed the boat. Yeah, buddy, I missed the boat. I missed the boat. I broke her heart. I'm all alone staring at these stars, anchored down, reeling them in, happier than I've ever been. I missed the Bible on the water. There's some things I can't let go. Some might say I missed out on that girl, but I missed the boat. I missed the boat. I miss the boat. I'm not missing her.
Speaker 3:I miss the boat. Heck yeah, that was Austin Burke with I Miss the Boat, this week's Country Climb Star of the Week on Q Country. That song was so awesome and we had a little dance party going on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we did what are?
Speaker 3:the chances I could join the band or be like a dancer or something.
Speaker 1:Man, I think you got a good chance. You definitely. I mean, how many energy drinks are you drinking?
Speaker 3:Just one, just one.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're crazy man. I love it, it, I love it. What's your?
Speaker 3:favorite energy drink. I love orange monster. Well, actually, I love the uh the sugar-free uh rock stars that are a fruit punch yeah, they don't sell them at my speedway and I like my girl, my lady that I buy my stuff from, so I switched to monster orange man, we got to get those.
Speaker 1:Why can't we get those there?
Speaker 3:I don't know, I don't know, I don't want, I don't like to cause problems I'll cause the problems for you.
Speaker 1:Hey, speedway, get those.
Speaker 3:Uh, energy free rock stars, come on well, uh, let's uh start our next segment. Uh, we are talking to austin Burke, our country climb star of the week, and, uh, we've heard a great song from him. We've heard about his playlisted podcast, and now we're going to find out about your musical journey. Uh, when did you first fall in love with music and how did it grab you?
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I started singing when I was two years old Um, I know that sounds weird, but I learned the national anthem at two and a half and my dad was like this is bizarre started filming you know two and a half year old singing and then basically sent it to the Rosie O'Donnell show, the Phoenix Suns Diamondbacks, and just all over and started singing the national anthem at three years old in front of you know arenas. And so that was kind of my life until I was 10 years old. And then, from 10 to 18, I played baseball and I was a freshman in college and decided to basically drop out and moved to Nashville with 650 bucks. I loved country music. I've always loved country music.
Speaker 1:I grew up on, you know, garth Brooks, toby Keith Brooks and Dunn Lone Star. I love the 90s country. So I grew up on that and basically was like I just want to follow my music dream. I feel like I was destined to do it and started waiting tables for four years at a restaurant and one day my life changed forever. I got put on one of the biggest country playlists in the world and then two weeks after that I had another song put on there as well, and within like a month I mean it was pretty crazy.
Speaker 1:I was bringing out Lobster to this guy and I'll never forget this is my favorite story. So I brought out Lobster to this guy, I put down the Lobster and he looks at me and he goes are you Austin Burke? And I was like, yeah, and you know, I'm wearing my, my collared shirt, my tie and my, my apron. And he's like are you Austin Burke? I said yeah, and he goes man, can I get a picture with you? And I said, yeah, let me take my apron off and, uh, and my tie. So I take it all off and I still want to find this picture. It's somewhere. Take it all off and snap a picture next to the lobster, go back to the back and tell my boss hey, I quit, I'm too famous to work here. And I never looked back. I never looked back and that was kind of the moment that I needed to take it seriously and it changed my life and I've been doing music ever since I was in 2017, I believe so and I've been doing music ever since that was in 2017,?
Speaker 3:I believe so. And what would be some of your top three career moments in your musical journey?
Speaker 1:I know that's probably hard because you've had a lot of great moments. Definitely Country Thunder on the main stage. You know, I just always that was a dream venue to play, a dream concert, dream festival to play. Definitely the Grand Ole Opry. My great-grandfather, who passed away last year, got to go and it was just a very special moment with my whole family. And then the third one. I would say this is a weird one. Not a lot of people know about, but I got to play the Ryman with Vince Gill and Reba McIntyre and it was just us three and that was very surreal. I blacked out, I did not know what happened, but it was just me and Vince on stage and got to play a couple songs. So that was honestly more overwhelming than the Opry, for sure.
Speaker 3:Wow, those are some awesome, awesome moments. And you also had signed with Thomas Rhett's home team publishing like a publishing deal. Explain like to us listeners what. What is a publishing deal? What does that mean for you as an artist?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's basically it's. It's a job. You know, you, you go to work and you write songs, and so he was nice enough to sign me, um, and you, you write songs, and so he was nice enough to to sign me to his company and and basically write songs, uh, for him, uh, for other artists and uh, unfortunately, there was kind of a wrench in a lot of it with COVID. Um, I, you know, had plans and talks about a lot of awesome things that were on the horizon and that sort of you know put a wrench in a lot of it, but, um, it ended up being great. I, I'm now with Warner chapel and, um, you know, it got me my first publishing deal and I'm super grateful for him and he's, he's just such a great person.
Speaker 1:I, you know, I learned a lot from his dad, rhett. Rhett really took me under his wing and wrote a ton of songs with me Roots, which I know we're going to play coming up. I wrote with Rhett. That was my first time writing with him and so, yeah, it's, it's been a. It was a really special publishing deal, but yeah, it's just, it's a job. It's a job, that's all it is. You just write, write songs.
Speaker 3:You just clock in and write songs.
Speaker 1:Exactly, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Sounds like a pretty cool job. Well, you talked about that song that you wrote called Roots. It's about your roots here in Arizona. How about we give that a spin?
Speaker 1:Let's do it. Let's do it.
Speaker 3:Heck yeah, here we go. Here's another one. This is Austin Burke, today's Country Climb Star of the Week.
Speaker 2:This is his song Roots. If you wonder why I picked this sick string, still got mud on my F-150. Why am I talking a little different than you? Yeah, if you ever see me sipping my Jack straight Mix Garth Brooks and Drake down the highway, if you wonder why I do what I do. Well, you can blame it all on my roots. All on my hometown, the Marizona roads we rode down. I was raised on the rodeo dust. I am who I am because of who I was. Blame it all on the nights. All them desert stars I kept wishing on. They got me this far. Put the west coast tanning and a little sand on my boots. Yeah, you can blame it all on my roots. We'll be really leaving. That's why I keep singing.
Speaker 2:Blame it all on my own. All on my hometown, the Marizona roads we rolled down. I was raised on the rodeo dust. I am who I am because of who I was. Blame it all on the nights. All them desert stars I kept wishing on. They got me this far With the west coast king and a little saying on my boots. Yeah, you can blame it all on my rules. Blame it all on my rules. Everybody's got a little where they from. You can find me in the desert sun. Blame it all on my moves. All on my hometown, the Marizona roads we rolled down I was raised on the rodeo dust. I am who I am cause of who I was. Blame it all on the rodeo dust. I am who I am because of who I was. Blame it all on the nights, all them desert stars I kept wishing on. That got me this far With the west coast and a little sand on my boots. Yeah, you can blame it all on my roots. Blame it all on my roots.
Speaker 3:Blame it all on my roots. Blame it on my roots. Blame it on my roots, blame it on my roots. That was Austin Burke with his song Roots right here on Q Country 92.5. He is this week's Country Climb Star of the Week. I love all your music. I love Miss the Boat, but I love Roots because I am an Arizona boy. These are my roots as well.

Speaker 3:Janine, you over there.
Speaker 4:Yes, I am. How are you?
Speaker 3:Well, kinda, you're not really over there. Everybody's been asking You've been out all week, janine, and people have been asking Where's Janine, where's Janine? And I'm like, well, she'll be back, don't worry. Don't worry, but I figured you would let us know where have you been all week.
Speaker 4:Well, this has not been a vacation. It's not been a vacation. There were people online talking about the Aerovac person over by Heber like Decker Wash and all these emergency crews and stuff. Yeah, that was me. And basically last Sunday I went on a horseback ride and we're way out past Decker Wash, though we're kind of not close to any logging roads. Oh, my goodness, we found that out later and I took a kick from a friend's horse who were riding with a group and her horse kind of turned and just was kicked off for some reason at my horse and gave us both both barrels, but unfortunately my calf, the calf of my leg, caught the big kick and it pretty much kind of shattered my calf the worst thing I've ever seen was a picture of that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you know, I thought about doing a post on Facebook and I said to my husband I can't post that picture. I mean it is gross.
Speaker 3:And so you were just out in the middle of nowhere. How in the world did you make it out?
Speaker 4:Well, number one I stayed on my horse, I clutched the horn of the saddle and they didn't realize I'd been kicked and everybody yells is everybody okay? Because this horse, just you know, did this and I was trying to breathe and I kind of passed out on my horn but I was gripping the saddle. I never fell out of the saddle and they rushed up and our one friend was on my left leg, which is the injured leg. My husband was to my right and he set a tourniquet above my knee right away. I was bleeding bad and so they set a tourniquet. I had passed out. But then I came to they got me off the horse, got my leg up on limbs. We were able. We were so lucky. We were at the top of a knoll and we were able to get a little service and I was able to text. And I texted Timber Mesa, of all things, and our good friend JD Pepper. I apologize later for just texting him, but I sent him our coordinates and I said this is what happened I got a tourniquet on my knee and then the Forest Service, heber, overguard, fire unbelievable their response.
Speaker 4:They moved and I mean they had to find us in there because it's just an approximate and two kids, I swear to you, with the Forest Service. They look like they're 12 years old, chris. They found their way weaving in with an ATV and found us. They found their way weaving in with an ATV and found us. And then I get put on the ATV with a real tourniquet, which I might say that tourniquets are. Oh my God, they're painful.
Speaker 3:They're not the latest fashion craze.
Speaker 4:No, I was screaming, no, crying, I just get mad. So I might have been screaming some big obscenities there, but they got me put my leg up high on the window. I'm between the two of them. So they got me put my leg up high on the window, I'm between the two of them, and we crawled out, crawled out, crawled out, and so it was almost two hours of finding me, getting me to the Aerovac. It was hard to get to me, but the Aerovac me fast. That flight was like, oh my gosh, native Air, unbelievable. They got me down there within like 21 minutes. And I think, chris, the funniest thing, I'm trying to talk to you, trying to distract you, you know, talking to you the whole time. These medics are amazing. And I'm talking and she says, okay, we're going to land in three minutes, I'm just going to give you a little something so you forget this next part. And I don't think I said okay, I don't remember anything, just boom, knock down, Just boom.
Speaker 3:Tell us what's your road to recovery like, what are you doing and when do we get to see you again?
Speaker 4:Well, basically I'm at home right now. I was in the hospital for about three days after the surgery, got home and home for a few days. Then I have to go back down the valley but I've got this thing called a wound vacuum attached to my leg. So that's a fun thing and I haven't been able to see it. My whole leg is sealed off and then they use this wound vacuum. So I'm hoping that everything goes great when I go down there Monday to the hospital and I can you know progress and get into some sort of a different kind of cast or something the next phase, you know, just hoping the wound holds, because it was really hard stitching this thing up Right, that's where I'm at and I'm taking all the good supplements. I'm going insane sitting here watching some gratuitous series.
Speaker 3:Yeah, your doctor orders would be a death sentence for me. They said no moving.
Speaker 4:You would be insane, Chris, you would be going nuts. But today, this morning, I'm glad you felt this morning. This is the first morning. I felt pretty darn good this morning.
Speaker 3:I'm like yeah, well, we're so glad to hear that you're on the road to recovery. So sorry you had to go through that. Do you want to hear some good news from me?
Speaker 4:Yes, what do you have good news from me?
