Tony And The Ticket Tease

SPEAKER_00 0:06

Well, well, well, if it isn't Tony from Snowflake, Tony, you entered uh to win some Billy Currington tickets. Guess whose name popped up? Hello? Tony, call back. Hello, best friends. It's me, Chris Bennett. And stay tuned. We're gonna find out if Tony called back or if we had to give out those Billy Currington tickets to someone else. Plus, we had some Cinco de Mayo chaos with our friends from Albertos. Alma and Omar were in studio, and we gave away a ton of stuff today. Let's get the show started. Chris Bennett and the morning brew. It is talk about something good Tuesday, so we're gonna start talking some good news today. Uh, this story comes to us from Mississippi, where five middle school students are being called heroes after the school bus driver lost consciousness behind the wheel. The driver suffered a serious asthma attack while driving a full bus of kids. But that's when the students jumped into action. One student grabbed the steering wheel to keep the bus from going off the road. Another hit the brakes to slow it down, and a third called 911 while two others rushed to help the drivers. One of them even held her head up so she could breathe and reach her medication. Thanks to those five students, everyone on board is safe and stayed safe. The driver later said she can't thank them enough and that things could have turned out much worse. Just an incredible reminder that even in scary moments, people can step up to do something amazing. That is your good news on this talk about something good Tuesday. All right, best friends, we were doing a giveaway for some Billy Currington tickets. Our last pair of Billy Currington tickets, you had to sign up on my social media page, follow, and click the link. I just spun the wheel of names, and we are gonna call the winner right now. See if he answers. Tony, you entered uh to win some Billy Carrington tickets. Uh you went on my website, or you went on my social media, followed, and uh hit the link in the bio, entered your information. I just spun the wheel of names of all 13 people that entered to win those tickets. And guess whose name popped up? Hello? Tony, call back. Alright, we're gonna try. He's like, it was a prank. He thought it was a prank.
