The Morning X with Barnes & Crash - 99X

The Morning X gears up for a Friday show, teasing a story about two hikers who turned a random trail discovery into a multi-million dollar community by pure happenstance.

Plus, they share their thoughts on a 1980s-set teen thriller that has them completely hooked, and look forward to an anticipated theatrical documentary charting a 99X rock band's emotional road to reinvention.

The tension in the studio rises as a dedicated listener who has been tuning in since the 1990s steps up to take on the ultimate 60-second trivia challenge.

On this hilarious segment of The Morning X, they begin by reacting to a suggestive Facebook photo that has the team questioning "The Queen's" wild Tuesday night menu. But the real challenge begins when Barnes puts their problem-solving skills to the test with a real-world puzzle: How did a major European airport drastically slash its ballooning cleaning budget using a simple trick of human psychology?

With football season just around the corner, The Morning X is gearing up for their annual pools, but they have plenty of distractions to keep them occupied in the meantime. First, someone teases some juicy backstage gossip involving "The Queen" from their recent night out in a concert suite. Then, the studio gets uncomfortable when someone's recent medical treatment prompts them to make some over-the-top bedroom demands. Finally, they react to a fast-acting physical feat caught on a local roller coaster, and debate a security trend in Atlanta that has residents locking up their outdoor property in iron and cement cages.

On this edition of The Morning X, Barnes and Leslie open the phone lines to tackle a massive, hotly debated question: What is actually wrong with their home city? Before the flood of opinions begins, they get sidetracked by an overstock situation in the station’s online store, sparking a playful studio clash over "elephant-sized" merchandise. From there, listeners call in to share their city grievances, including the legendary history of a retro government "posse", a terrifying highway encounter involving a moving truck, the administrative nightmare of calling 911 near city borders, and the high-stakes political movement that almost split the metro area's finances in half.

This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
