Am I the Jerk for Snatching It Back?! + April Fool’s Chaos 😂

It’s April Fool’s Day on The Morning Brew… but don’t worry — no pranks here (well… maybe a few 😆)

We kick things off with Am I the Jerk Court, where James from Show Low helps decide if someone went too far after snatching something back from a coworker — and walks away with Diamondbacks tickets in the process.

Then Show Low’s own Dave Ramsey (not the financial guy) joins us for a hilarious April Fool’s edition of Boo or Cool, with some very questionable takes.

And we wrap things up with Virgil the Cowboy from Eagar, who brings some friends, shares a few ranch stories, and plays Fool or Fact with us.

It’s fun, it’s local, and it’s everything you love about The Morning Brew.

👉 Listen, share with a friend, and join us live weekday mornings from 7–9 on Q Country 92.5!

Welcome And April Fools Setup

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Good morning, best friends, and welcome to the morning brew with Chris Bennett and best friends. Today's show is all about April Fool's Day, but don't worry, no pranks here, just fun. Uh, we kick things off with Am I the Jerk Court, where James from Sholo helps us decide if someone is out of line for snatching something back from a coworker, and he ends up snatching up four tickets to see the Diamondbacks versus the Atlanta Braves this Sunday. Then we check in with Sholo's own Dave Ramsey for a special April Fool's edition of Boo or Cool, and then wrap things up with Virgil the Cowboy from Eager, who brings some friends and uh plays Fool or Fact with us. Let's get into it. From the Horn Auto Center Studios, Chris Bennett and the morning brew. Good morning, you are first caller. Who's this?

SPEAKER_01 0:53

This is James.

SPEAKER_00 0:54

James. All right, James. You're gonna win four tickets to the Arizona Diamondbacks this weekend against the Atlanta Braves. All you have to do is be my judge for Am I the Jert Court? Do you have a Robin wig on?

SPEAKER_01 1:07

I do not. Oh, okay. Well, that's all right.

SPEAKER_00 1:11

I'll read the rain jacket count. A rainjack is fine. Heck yeah, yeah, there we go. Uh I'll read the story and when we come back, we'll get your ruling on this. Alright, am I the jerk court is in session? James from Sholo presides. Here we go. All right, tell me if I'm the jerk here. I have a coworker who has this habit of just grabbing things out of people's hands. I'm talking snacks, papers, pens, like no warning, no asking, just snatch. He does it to everyone, and people just kind of laugh it off, but it drives me crazy. I've talked to him about it multiple times. Like, hey, uh just ask. And every time he says he understands, then does it again. What a jerk. So the other day, I decided I was done. He grabbed a bag of chips out of my hands and I immediately snatched it back and said, ask first. Well, he got annoyed, grabbed it again super aggressively, and ripped the bag open. Chips everywhere, mess everywhere. Mmm. And now he's mad at me, saying I treated him like a child. So, am I the jerk or did he finally get a taste of his own medicine? What say you? I say no. Oh no, okay, perfect. Uh, so he so you think they just got a taste of their own medicine?

SPEAKER_01 2:41

Yep, I think so.

SPEAKER_00 2:42

Has anything like this ever happened to you at work?

SPEAKER_01 2:45

Hmm. Not not at work, but at home with my kids.

SPEAKER_00 2:49

Oh yeah, kids are always snatching things. When was the last time someone snatched something from you at home and what was it?

SPEAKER_01 2:56

Um, not too long ago, actually, and it was my drink. That happens a lot.

SPEAKER_00 3:00

Oh, what drink was it?

SPEAKER_01 3:02

Uh, Power Aid.

SPEAKER_00 3:03

Oh, Power Aid, okay. I was I was hoping it wasn't like a vodka soda or a whiskey that your kids were grabbing. And then how do you handle it when your kids snatch it out of your hands? Same way she handled it with her co-worker?

SPEAKER_01 3:14

Yep, I just take it back and tell them that they're gonna learn one way.

SPEAKER_00 3:17

You're gonna learn one way just like this co-worker does. In the case of Am I the Jerk for snatching things back from my colleague, the honorable James from Full Sholo says, No, you are not the jerk. He does the same thing to his kids. Well, congratulations, James! You're going to the D-Bax uh game this Sunday against the Atlanta Braves. What radio station hooked you up?

SPEAKER_01 3:43

92.5. You know it.

SPEAKER_00 3:47

On the phone, we have our best friend from Sholo. It is Sholo's own Dave Ramsey. How are you doing on this wet Wednesday hump day? That's good. Any uh any surprises left by uh your dogs or cats this morning? Harry. Harry? Gosh dang it.

SPEAKER_03 4:06

Well what he wanted to go out earlier, but it was raining. Uh-huh. And he looked at the door and looked at me and said, uh, screw that.

SPEAKER_00 4:16

And then just went, does he look at you in the eyes when he's uh going inside? No. No, he hides and then waits for you to find it. What a jerk. Yeah. Um, did you hear today's Am I the Jerk court case? The first one we did with uh James from Sholo, where the person wanted to know if they were a jerk for snatching things back from their colleague that is constantly stealing things? You just read it and I I heard it now. Yeah. And so what is this person a jerk for uh snatching the chips back from them? I just snatched it and shoved him and knocked him on his butt. Oh, you can't do that, Dave. You you haven't worked uh in in uh in the workplace for a while. They don't uh they frown upon that.

SPEAKER_03 5:01

You'd probably Well, you can frown from the ground, too.

SPEAKER_00 5:05

You can frown from the ground. Uh well today is April Fool's Day, so do not be tricked today. Uh Boo or Cool on April Fool's Day. Cool. Cool? Really? I hate this day because I'm so gullible and I fall for everything, so uh I'm not a big fan of it. It is now time for Boo or Cool with Sholo's own Dave Ramsey on this April Fool's Day. Dave said, totally cool on April Fool's Day. I'm gonna give you some April Fool's pranks. You tell me if it's Boo or Cool. Uh switching the salt and sugar in the kitchen. Boo. Why is that boo? Who would want to put salt in a pie? Yeah, but it's just it's a prank, and I thought you loved April Fool's Day. There's a big difference between a prank and being nasty. Okay. All right. What about uh replacing family photos with Nicolas Cage pictures? Don't like that. Nicolas Cage is alright. That would be cool. That would be cool, okay. Oh, what about the fake lottery ticket prank? Buying someone a lottery ticket and making them think they won the lottery. That's cool. That's way cool. I've had that done to me. No, that is not cool, Dave. That is like the meanest thing ever. You really so so you think it's boo to switch to switching the salt and sugar, but totally cool in making people think they won the lottery.

SPEAKER_03 6:37

I had that done to me. I thought it was I went elated when I thought I won the lottery. Then all of a sudden I read the dang fine friend, and it's like you thinking I ain't gonna go there.

Uh, changing someone's uh uh phone language on their phone. That's cool. That's funny. What about putting a fake spider in the shower? That's cool. Cool? Oh wow, okay.
