The Most Honest Answer Ever, a Wedding Prediction That Came True & Dive Bar Trivia

On today's episode of The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett and Best Friends, Virgil the Cowboy kicks things off with what might be the most honest answer we've ever heard on Tell the Truth Day before taking on a game of Two Truths and a Lie.

It's also Talk About Something Good Tuesday, and Chris shares the incredible true story of a bride who correctly predicted her future husband's name when she was just four years old. Could it be fate, or just an unbelievable coincidence?

Plus, we spotlight the RE-Center Community Food & Resource Drive in Pinetop as part of America's 250 "America's Potluck" initiative, play a fun game of Real Dive Bar or Fake Dive Bar, and give away an Aliberto's gift card and movie passes to one lucky listener.

The RE-Center Community Food & Resource Drive is collecting food and essential items this week at the RE-Center, 814 E. White Mountain Blvd. in Pinetop. Volunteers are also needed to help sort and distribute donations. To learn more or sign up to help, visit JustServe.org.

And in the video, little Jordan described what she thought her future wedding would be like, complete with clowns, face painting, and even friends who actually attended the wedding as adults. Then her dad asked, What's your husband's name gonna be? Without missing a beat, four-year-old Jordan answered, Max. The groom's name? Max. Oh, it gives me goosebumps. Everyone at the reception gas uh gas and the groom couldn't believe it, and Jordan burst into tears. She did know a boy named Max as a child, but hadn't thought about him in years. The heartwarming video has now been viewed more than 22 million times online.
