🎸 COUNTRY CLIMB STAR OF THE WEEK: CARSON MAC!

Things got a little WILD on today's Morning Brew with Chris Bennett and Best Friends! 😂🦎

We check in with our good friend, 47-year-old Ryan McKee, and his 22-year-old roommate, Joey, in Wilmington, North Carolina!

Joey's back on the dating market, his bedroom has apparently become a wildlife sanctuary, and Ryan had to come to the rescue when an unexpected visitor showed up! 😂

And since it's Clean Up the Earth Day, we put these two to the test with some disgusting cleaning trivia! Let's just say Joey might need to spend a little more time cleaning and a little less time running from lizards!

PLUS, it's Relationship Advice Thursday! Our favorite redneck, Paul from Beaumont, joins us to help a woman whose husband refuses to help with the laundry. Paul's advice? Well... let's just say we might need to check with Rhonda to see if he's still alive! 😂

We also catch up with Janine Ford about the wild weather in Arizona's White Mountains.

And don't forget! Tomorrow we'll meet our Kay Supply Building Center Country Climb Star of the Week, Carson Mac, and hear his song "Georgia Love!"
