The Morning X with Barnes & Crash - 99X

David Arquette & Courteney Cox Call in From Their Honeymoon

In this surprise honeymoon call-in from The Morning X Archives, Scream star David Arquette checks in with Barnes and Leslie fresh off his wedding to Courteney Cox. The couple is celebrating in the most David Arquette way possible—by going on a roller coaster tour after a stint in the Caribbean.

David sounds happier than ever, and Courteney jumps on the call for a quick chat, confirming she’ll be in Scream 3—but insists it's the final film in the series (spoiler: it wasn’t).

Highlights & Funny Quotes:

• Barnes: “Only you, David, would honeymoon with a roller coaster tour.”
• David (laughing): “Yeah, we did some other stuff too… but we did a lot of roller coasters.”
• David (to Courteney): “Come here, say hello to my Atlanta friends!”
• Courteney: “David loves you guys so much. He was cleaning out his wallet and said, ‘I’m gonna call my friends.’”
• Barnes: “You guys realize Scream is gonna hit Scream 10 eventually, right?”
• Courteney: “No, this is it… the trilogy is over.” (Narrator: It was not over.)

Barnes Joins the ATL Police Force (ish)

This episode of The Best of The Morning X is pure chaos as Barnes tags along with Atlanta PD, riding shotgun for a night on the beat. Things escalate quickly—high-speed chases, sketchy excuses, and Barnes interrogating suspects like he's on Cops.

The highlight? A Jamaican dude pulled over for speeding who admits to a single beer and then gets grilled by Barnes about his radio station of choice (spoiler: 99X wins again). Crash and Leslie are in disbelief as Barnes asks the guy about Black Crowes concerts instead of just letting the cop do his job.

Highlights & Funny Quotes:

• Barnes (during the chase): “Oh boy, we’re about to slide into a brick wall… Oh Jesus!”
• Leslie: “Barnes, did you make a citizen’s arrest?”
• Barnes (to the suspect): “What was that stunt? Cutting through the parking lot? What was that all about?”
• Crash: “Barnes, are you trying to start a fight?”
• Barnes (to suspect): “You could’ve gotten a ticket for that taillight too.”
• Suspect: “I really appreciate it, officer.”
• Barnes: “What radio station do you listen to?”
• Suspect: “99X.”
• Barnes: “That’s right, baby!”

Barnes and Crash check in from Mexico, where they’re supposedly doing “geospatial data collection” for Barnes’ business, but let’s be real—things have already gone off the rails. Crash is more focused on making margaritas than science, and Leslie is just trying to figure out what the hell they’re actually doing there.

Things take a turn when Barnes and Crash get invited to a swanky cocktail party. Thinking it’s a casual sunset hangout, they roll up in golf shorts—only to find a full-blown, dressed-up affair straight out of White Lotus. But the real shocker? A life-sized nude portrait of the host’s wife is proudly displayed in their home.

Barnes struggles to keep a straight face, Crash can’t stop staring, and then—because of course—Crash takes a selfie with it. 📸😂 That’s when Barnes decides it’s time to leave before they get banned from the entire country.

Highlights & Funny Quotes:

• Barnes: “We should have just turned around and left.”
• Crash: “Camera in my right hand, thumbs up with my left.”
• Leslie: “What happened to the etiquette lesson? Right out the window?”
• Barnes: “Imagine hiring the painter for this gig—‘Alright, have a seat. This is gonna take a while.’”

Will they be invited back? Will the selfie come back to haunt them? And most importantly, does anyone else do this? 🤔

The Top Sex Fetishes of 2024 & Crash’s Office Confession

Barnes, Leslie, and Crash tiptoe through this very delicate topic—the top sex fetishes of 2024, as ranked by a Bumble-backed survey of over 4,000 people. Somehow, Crash reveals an office sex story (?!), Leslie loses it over the word cowgirl, and Barnes struggles to explain certain activities without getting fined.

  3️⃣ Sex while playing video games – Leslie: “I’m picturing a dude in his mom’s basement.”
  2️⃣ Open-air balcony sex – Barnes: “Is this about the thrill of getting caught or the breeze on your biscuit?”
  1️⃣ Continuing after the finish line – The number one fetish of the year. Leslie: “How is that new?”

  • #1 for Gen Z Men: Cuddling. 🥹
  • Hotel showers & spa pampering ranked way higher than anything risky.
  • Zoomers prefer missionary over anything wild.

• The Most Awkward Radio Moment Ever 🤦‍♂️

Senior Pranks Gone Wild – Exploding Lockers, Chicken Raids & Stolen Cars

This episode of The Best of Morning X is a masterclass in chaos as listeners share their wildest, dumbest, and most illegal senior pranks. Some were funny, some got people arrested, and some… well, let’s just say Homeland Security would not be amused today.

🎓 The Prank Hall of Fame (or Shame?)

• Honorable Mentions: Morning X Graduation Speech Tributes

  • Multiple grads name-dropped Barnes, Leslie & Jimmy in their speeches (because obviously, they belong in the same sentence as Bill Gates and Abraham Lincoln).
  • If you mentioned Morning X at your graduation, you owed them $500. Fair deal.

• Volkswagen Bus Welded to a Tree 🚗🌳

  • A group of students cut a VW bus in half, welded it around a tree, and left it there.
  • The school loved it and left it up until summer.

• Porch Pirates Were Just the Beginning…

  • Someone poured Limburger cheese into their school's AC vents, making it smell absolutely rank.
  • Another prank involved pouring Tide into the school's industrial AC, flooding the hallways with soap.

• The Chicken U-Haul Incident 🐔🚛

  • A group borrowed (not stole, allegedly) a U-Haul and filled it with chickens from a local farm.
  • They dumped them in the school courtyard and also overturned trash cans.
  • Result: Six days in juvenile detention.
