The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett
Dudes, Dogs & Dead Comedians: Chaos & Connection on The Morning Brew
Ever wonder what happens when a 21-year-old calls his date "dude" repeatedly? The Morning Brew brings you Joey's latest dating adventure alongside producer Ryan's memorial service fashion faux pas - showing up in formal black attire to a beach ceremony where one attendee wore only a bikini!
This episode captures the beautiful chaos of everyday life as Chris Bennett shares exciting news about his upcoming Halloween comedy challenge. He'll be channeling the legendary Robin Williams for a series of "dead comedian" tribute shows - a high-energy assignment that has him both thrilled and terrified. "I think I'm going to be doing the early Robin Williams," Chris reveals, hinting at a rare opportunity to explore edgier material.
The heart of this episode shines through during Talk About Something Good Tuesday with Janine, featuring truly moving stories. Most touching is the tale of Cleo, a three-legged dog who survived a gunshot wound and found her perfect match in Zach Monticello, who lost his right arm in an accident. Their unexpected connection reminds us how healing happens when broken pieces find each other. Meanwhile, Joey delivers the profound financial wisdom only a newly independent young adult can provide: "Save your frickin' money, bro." The episode wraps with a spirited beer trivia challenge celebrating International Buy a Priest a Beer Day, proving once again that The Morning Brew blends humor, heart, and community in perfect measure.
