It’s Relationship Advice Thursday, and today’s episode proves that sometimes the words “just kidding” don’t fix the damage.

We kick things off by giving away Arizona Renaissance Festival tickets to Megan from Show Low, who steps up as our Relationship Advice expert of the day. Then Paul from Beaumont calls in for another shot at tickets and brings his usual redneck charm to the conversation.

Today’s big question: When does a joke cross the line?
We tackle two wild scenarios — a fake $10,000 lottery ticket prank and repeated fake proposals that start to feel less funny and more hurtful. Is it harmless humor… or a red flag?

Plus, in honor of National Arabian Horse Day, we play Horse Name or Band Name, and we wrap things up with a bonus round of Relationship Advice with Jineane Ford.

Laughs, lessons, callers, and a little chaos — just the way Thursday should be.

Hit play, share with a friend who needs relationship wisdom, and tell us… where do YOU draw the line?

Kindness, honesty, and a little courtroom drama take center stage on this Wednesday edition of The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett & Best Friends.

We kick things off by sending John from Show Low to the Arizona Renaissance Festival as our first guest judge in Am I the Jerk Court, ruling on a hungry husband who grabbed a late-night sandwich after his wife’s dinner didn’t land. From there, Show Low’s own Dave Ramsey joins the fun for a special Thumb Appreciation Day edition of Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down, delivering laughs and strong opinions.

Next, we call Jineane Ford from Majik 101.7 and iTalk 106.7 to weigh in on a jaw-dropping case: a bride who paid for her friend’s trip to a Bali wedding… only for the friend to skip the ceremony and use it as a honeymoon. Is suing for the money fair—or too far?

We check in with Paul from Beaumont for Valentine’s Day reflections and wrap it all up with Stump the Redneck: Real or Fake Headlines on the wildest holiday yet—Cow Milked While Flying an Airplane Day.

Laughs, tough verdicts, and small-town heart all in one episode.
