On today's episode of The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett and Best Friends, we put another case on trial during Am I the Jerk Court.

A woman spent nearly eight minutes at the butcher counter debating sausage options, changing her order, and asking for special requests while customers waited behind her. One impatient shopper finally muttered, "Geez Louise," got called rude, and responded with a little sarcasm. So the question is: Was he the jerk?

We also welcome Trent from Walmart, Ray from the Arizona Rangers, Chuck from the Show Low Police Department, and Priscilla from the Pinetop-Lakeside Police Department to talk about today's Safety Fair happening at the Show Low Walmart.

Plus, we give away Diamondbacks tickets to a lucky Wheel of Names winner and play a Father's Day edition of TV Dad Trivia to find out if one listener is smarter than law enforcement.
