Weird Museums, Spoiled Dogs & $250 Million Diamonds | The Morning Brew

It's Motivational Monday on The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends, and we're starting the week with laughs, motivation and plenty of morning show shenanigans!

Virgil the Cowboy checks in after a weekend at Sunrise with some very important advice about using the bathroom BEFORE riding the Drop Zone — and leaves us with a little Monday motivation: “Don't ever give up!”

Show Low's Dave Ramsey joins us for TWO rounds of Boo or Cool. First, in honor of National Spoil Your Dog Day, we find out how Dave feels about personal chefs for dogs, doggy braces, pet perfume and even CLONING your dog. Then, for Smithsonian Day, Dave rates some of the world's strangest museums — including a toilet museum, hundreds of creepy ventriloquist dummies and the Museum of Broken Relationships.

Plus, Jineane Ford joins us for Motivational Monday, and Lou from Taylor plays Price Is Right: Smithsonian Edition for VIP tickets to our August 22nd comedy show at the Show Low Elks Lodge!

You gotta go to sunrise. Heck yeah. So you told me about their drop zone, and you said if you do the drop zone, you better use the bathroom uh beforehand. So did you make the mistake and not use the bathroom before doing the drop zone? Uh smarter than that. Well, so what's your uh favorite thing at sunrise? Is it the drop zone, the alpine coaster? If I only did one thing, what would you recommend?

Boo Or Cool Pet Spoiling

SPEAKER_01 2:48

On the phone, we have Sho Lozone Dave Ramsey for some Boo or Cool. How's your day going so far? Boo or cool. Cool so far. Cool so far. Did you know today is actually Spoil Your Dog Day? No, I didn't. A boo or cool to that. Cool, minor constantly spoiled. We are gonna do boo or cool to ways people spoil their pets. Here you go, Dave. Uh, a personal chef for their dog. Out of control, totally boo. Totally boo. Even if you won like the $500 Powerball, you wouldn't get a personal chef for uh your dogs?

SPEAKER_02 3:30

Oh, hell no.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

All right. Uh what about flying their dog first class? Some people have flown their dog first class.

SPEAKER_02 3:41

Service animal cool, otherwise, boo. Say that again. Service animal will be cool, totally boo together.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

Okay. Oh, so like your pets aren't service animals, so they don't get to fly first class. No. Alright. What about uh dog braces? Some people have gotten braces for their dog's teeth.

SPEAKER_02 4:01

No way.

SPEAKER_01 4:05

You'd love to spoil your dogs. Like, if one of your dogs had a jacked-up smile, you want to fix it with some doggy braces?

SPEAKER_02 4:12

I'd take them to the vet and have them pulled. How about dog perfume?

SPEAKER_01 4:20

I get enough of that from Harry. Don't I you, boo? Well, Harry, you're talking about his farts. That's I would think maybe you would want some perfume for Harry so that you don't have to smell that. I keep a bottle of cologne on the coffee table for just such an emergency. Oh, perfect. All right. And uh how about uh a dog clone paying to have uh a clone of one of your dogs?

SPEAKER_02 4:44

No, I don't think so. You want it? Once you lived with them for as long as I've lived with mine, having a second go-round, I don't think I should deal with.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

Okay, all right. That was Boo or Cool. Spoiling your dog edition on the spoil your dog day. Uh, what's the craziest uh way you've ever spoiled some of your pets? The only thing I do is get them groomed. Nice. And you give the cats wet uh wet uh cat food.

SPEAKER_02 5:15

Oh yeah, they get wet cat food and dry cat food. There you go.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

Heck yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:20

My doggies, my dogs don't like wet food.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

Oh no, just dry food. Well, the dogs are definitely spoiled

Boo Or Cool Odd Museums

SPEAKER_01 9:54

We are back for a bonus Boo or Cool with Show Low's Dave Ramsey. It is Smithsonian Day, and so I thought we would do Boo or Cool to different types of museums across the world. Uh, you tell me if you would go to these Boo or Cool. Ready? Ready? The International Toilet Museum in New Delhi, India. I don't think so. No, no interest in seeing a bunch of different toilets from civilization.

SPEAKER_02 10:23

If you do the same thing in every one of them, so why look at all of them?

SPEAKER_01 10:28

Oh my gosh. How about the Vent Haven Museum? It's a ventriloquist museum, a museum with the largest collection of ventriloquist dummies, hundreds of creeping, creepy-looking figures. Boo or cool. Cool. Really, Dave, you and I are so opposite. That seems terrifying to go into a room full of uh just uh ventriloquist dummies.

SPEAKER_02 10:52

Brother still has one back when from when he was five years old. He still got it. He still got what?

SPEAKER_01 10:59

Oh, is Ventriloquist dummy? Yeah. Oh, dang it. Uh, how about the International Banana Museum?

SPEAKER_02 11:06

Cowdown on your way around. Yeah, that's cool.

SPEAKER_01 11:13

And last one, the Museum of Broken Relationships. People donate objects from failed relationships along with stories behind them. Everything from old love letters to random items left behind after bake uh breakups.

SPEAKER_02 11:28

That'd be cool, but most of the time you'll only find probably most of it would be rings and bracelets and necklaces.

unknown 11:36

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 11:37

Yeah, so it's all mostly gonna be all jewelry because they're gonna walk out and just take it off and say adios. Adios.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

Yeah, and uh, you know, but they'll have some good letters and maybe, you know, some good drama about each piece. So yeah, I think that one is you said cool to that one. Yeah. All right, you and I could go together, but it's in Croatia, so we're probably not going anytime soon. That was Boo or Cool with Solos, Dave Ramsey. We love you, best friend. Love you too.
