ALL RISE! Am I the Jerk Court is back in session on The Morning Brew!

Brian from Pinedale checks in after casting another vote for Chris in the Top Host competition, then helps choose the Wayback Wednesday Song of the Day before putting on the judge's wig for a wild wedding case: If you uninvite your childhood best friend, should her family still cater your wedding for FREE?

Then Jineane Ford joins the fun and takes the bench for another case. A 32-year-old man has his house, car, bills, groceries and even cleaners paid for by his parents—but can't afford a $12 Taco Bell meal. When his best friend finally calls him a “freeloading bum,” who's really the jerk?

Plus, an update on Chris's run in the nationwide Top Host competition!

Listen, laugh, cast your verdict—and don't be a jerk!

Court is in session, best friends!

It's Am I the Jerk Court Wednesday on The Morning Brew, and our friend Joe G joins Chris Bennett in the studio to help hand down today's verdicts.

First up: Is a woman the jerk for refusing to take down her giant Halloween decorations after a neighbor says they're terrifying her kids? That leads to Joe revealing his own slightly questionable Halloween tradition involving a werewolf costume, a garage and some unsuspecting trick-or-treaters.

Then we're giving away tickets to the NASCAR Cup Series at Phoenix Raceway! Congratulations to Janine from Chandler and Tina from Holbrook, who each won a pair of tickets to the October 18th race, compliments of our best friends at Horne Auto Center, the Chevy, Cadillac and GMC store that saves you more!
