Alex & Omar Take SAT Math Day... And It Doesn't Go Well 😂

Today on The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends, we celebrate Talk About Something Good Tuesday with Jineane Ford as we share heartwarming stories from around the world, including Scottish soccer fans taking over Boston during the World Cup and a heroic teenager rescuing a stranded dog.

Then Alex and Omar from Alibertos stop by the studio to promote this Saturday's Summer Comedy Series show featuring headliner Nancy Norton at the Show Low Elks Lodge. Things get interesting when the brothers take on SAT Math Day trivia, and let's just say... math may not be their strongest subject.

Plus, Dakota and Misty try their luck in Sibling Secrets for comedy show tickets, and Paul from Beaumont battles the Alibertos crew in a National Hydration Day edition of Are You Smarter Than a Redneck?

It's good news, laughs, giveaways, and plenty of Morning Brew shenanigans—all packed into one episode.

Thanks for listening, best friends!

Talk About Something Good Tuesday

SPEAKER_03 1:06

brew. Janine, you there?

SPEAKER_00 1:07

Yes, I am. Good morning, Chris.

SPEAKER_03 1:09

Good morning. Happy talk about something good Tuesday.

SPEAKER_00 1:13

I like that.

SPEAKER_03 1:14

I love that. How's your Tuesday so far?

SPEAKER_00 1:16

Good, good. And you know what? Speaking of your talk about something good Tuesday, that's such a good thing you do because there's a whole story out today about how the human brain is not wired to handle so much negative negativity and negative news. Take in more positive stuff.

SPEAKER_03 1:33

Exactly. And there's plenty of bad news to go around. Yes. I think it's important to focus on the good news.

SPEAKER_00 1:39

We need to focus on the good, yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:40

And I have some good news for you today. You want to hear some? Yes, yes. Well, one, uh, I have my friends from Alberto's coming in today. We're talking about our big comedy show happening at the uh Elks Lodge this Saturday with headliner Nancy Norton from Dry Bar Comedy. It's 18 and over, and show starts at 6 30 p.m. For more information and for tickets, go to Chris Bennettcomedy.com.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

That's what everybody needs to do is go laugh.

SPEAKER_03 2:05

Go laugh. Go laugh and have a good time. It's gonna be a lot of fun. And uh I have a uh good news story from the uh World Cup. Uh, you know, in Boston, they had 30,000 Scottish soccer fans uh traveled to Boston, and instead of causing problems, they ended up creating friendships all over the city. There was one group, Janine, that started playing bagpipes at six in the morning.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

Nine.

SPEAKER_03 2:32

Yeah, at their Airbnb. And uh their neighbor didn't get mad. Instead, they came over, came uh inside, and grilled them breakfast, and they became friends uh with the Scottish group. And the Scottish fans drank so much beer uh that one Boston tap room had to order four emergency deliveries. I'm not surprised. Yeah. Emergency beers. And emergency beers, it's an emergency. And the Boston police officers were seen kicking soccer balls with fans in the street, and one officer even got gifted a kilt uh from a Scottish fan after going viral online. So by the pretty cool. So by the time all the uh Scots left town, the locals were sad to see them go. And my favorite quote from this whole story is it took 30,000 strangers to remind us that we're all neighbors.

SPEAKER_00 3:24

That's so cool. I love the Scots. I love Scots, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:27

Pretty and it's cool to see all the World Cup fans coming to America and just what a great time and great experience they're having here uh in the United States.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

Oh, yeah, I love some of the remarks, and it's kind of funny because they'll they'll say, Yeah, there's so many things here and so cool. It's kind of like they were somebody who was talking, it's kind of like in Europe, you know, you have to search for fast food restaurant here. They're like every three feet. And I'm thinking to myself, that's might be not a great thing to eat like that.

SPEAKER_03 3:55

Yeah, and it's funny to see what they're like mesmerized by our buckies, and they it's fun. All right, Janine, it's time for your good news story. What you got for us?

SPEAKER_00 4:05

Okay, I'm gonna bring it in, bring it in, bring it in. Just a couple of cute little ones.

unknown 4:09

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 4:09

These are two videos that are going viral. It's so awesome. A teenager in California, he's a hero. He dove into a parbour to rescue a struggling little dog, and his name is Mateo, and he noticed that the dog was getting exhausted, he was swimming back and forth, could not get up on the dock. Of course, docks are kind of high, you know. So he dove in, carried him to safety, and you can see where he's um and and he used the dog's collar to get a hold of the owner, which is great. But he had him wrapped up in a towel. It was one of those terriers that shakes uncontrollably. So he had him wrapped up on the beach there, and it's so cute how he ran jumped in and saved him. And the other little one, I love that you have to see this going viral. We'll look these up because they're too cute. This teeny little kitten, you know, when a kitten is just like so little, they just have opened their eyes, they're confused. He just wanders onto the New York subway.

unknown 4:57

Oh my gosh!

SPEAKER_00 4:59

This teeny little she was she just is like walking in there, like totally owning the pl. And all these people are just crushing in the subway, and they notice this teeny little thing, you know, crawling on the side. Anyway, it has a happy ending because the commuter safely picked up the kitten in the chaos that was about to be crushed and probably fall through that crack. You can see where it tried to jump across, you know, into the car. And uh, she decided to adopt the kitty. So her name named her Emmy.

SPEAKER_03 5:28

Oh I love it. Some great news on this talk about something good Tuesday. We love you, best friend. I hope you have a great rest of your day.

SPEAKER_00 5:34

Love you too, Chris. Have a good one. Bye-bye.
