Good mornings start with great conversations! This week's Morning Brew delivers heartwarming stories, local updates, and plenty of laughs from our favorite callers across the mountain communities.

We kick things off with Virgil the Cowboy from Eagar, who shares details about his busy Fourth of July weekend moving horses and his unconventional dental hygiene routine that had us all chuckling. When it comes to Global Forgiveness Day, Virgil proves to be the most forgiving person we know—nothing seems to ruffle this cowboy's feathers!

The celebration continues as Paul from Beaumont, Texas recounts an emotional proposal that happened on his birthday. His son Carson surprised girlfriend Nikki with help from their young son Knox, who wore a special shirt asking, "Will you marry my daddy?" Paul's marriage advice? Simply "Don't be jerks"—wisdom that's hard to argue with.

Between games like "Real Dive or Real Lie" for National Dive Bar Day and "Are You Smarter Than a Redneck" featuring chocolate trivia, we get serious with Jineane's news update on the devastating flooding in Texas and the Lucy Canyon fire closer to home. Our brave firefighters have made significant progress building containment lines, Thank you to all the brave Firefighters.

We wrap up with our Monday Motivational Quote from Will Rogers: "Don't let yesterday take up too much of today." As Jineane wisely points out, none of us should carry around our "stinky trash" from the past. It's time to throw it away and move forward.
