On today's episode of The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett and Best Friends, it's another Relationship Advice Thursday, and we've got two relationship dilemmas that sparked plenty of debate.

First, a guy wonders if his girlfriend's best guy friend is trying to break them up after telling her they're not a good match—even though he's never met him. Then, another guy questions whether his fiancée's suspicious behavior is a red flag or if he's simply overthinking things after seven years together.

Paul from Beaumont joins the show to weigh in with his thoughts (and even breaks out a classic '90s song), Jineane Ford from Majik 1017 and Italk News and Maria from the Salvation Army share their perspective, and Paul also takes on Chris in another round of Are You Smarter Than a Redneck for National Refreshment Day.

Who do you agree with? Listen along and decide for yourself.

Producer Ryan McKee is back with a dating update after his therapist challenged him to stop dating other people and start dating himself. Things were going great...until he briefly dated the owner of his favorite breakfast restaurant, and now he can't even enjoy pancakes the same way.

Then it's Am I the Jerk Court Wednesday! We tackle two dilemmas: Should you help a girlfriend of just six weeks move out financially, and should one sibling have to pay for all of their adult children's share of a family vacation?

Join Chris Bennett, Producer Ryan McKee, Jineane Ford, and Timber Mesa Fire Marshal J.D. Pepper for laughs, debates, and a few life lessons along the way.
