The Morning X with Barnes & Crash - 99X

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.

• The Locker Room Pipe Bomb 🤯

  • Some genius thought an April Fool’s prank should involve an actual bomb.
  • It blew up a row of lockers, nearly deafened the principal, and got the prankster probation and court time.
  • Quote of the day: “We just borrowed a lighter from a guy… and then he snitched.”

• Teacher Tire Deflation Scheme 🛞

  • A group of students went to their teachers’ homes and removed the valve stems from their car tires.
  • Result: Several teachers couldn’t leave their driveways and had to get neighbors to drive them to work.
  • The pranksters: “We thought it was funny. The teachers didn’t.”

• Stolen (Maybe?) Principal’s Car 🚔

  • Football players stole a car that looked like their principal’s, wrecked it against the school flagpole, and spray-painted it.
  • Three guys got arrested. Turns out… no one was sure if it was actually the principal’s car.
  • Oops?

Best Quotes:

• "You know a story is gonna be good when it starts with ‘Well, there were some charges involved.’”
• "Yeah, we just ‘borrowed’ the U-Haul. And the chickens. And the trash cans."
• "We thought deflating teachers' tires at their houses was funny. They didn’t."
• "Nothing says April Fool’s like detonating half a school hallway."

This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.

Morning X Top 5 – AI Hoaxes, OJ Bombshells & Porch Pirate Roastings

This week’s Morning X brings The Top 5 Audio Clips—from AI fooling the world to OJ dropping a shocking confession. Let’s break it down:

• #5: Kid Rock Walks Off Stage 😬 – At Bon Jovi’s bar in Nashville, Kid Rock decided mid-song that the crowd wasn’t clapping enough, so he bailed. Turns out, they were singing along—just better than him. 🤷‍♂️

• #4: Brad Pitt Passed on The Matrix – Whoa. Pitt finally admitted he was offered The Matrix first but turned it down. Can you imagine him dodging bullets in slow motion? Neither can we.

• #3: AI Patrick Mahomes Says Taylor Swift is Banned from Games – AI deepfake Mahomes went viral, "admitting" he was trash in the Super Bowl, blaming Travis Kelce for being distracted by Taylor, and "banning" her from future games. Sounds legit. 😂

• #2: OJ’s Agent Drops a Bombshell – In the new OJ: Made in America doc, his former agent claims OJ once said: “If Nicole hadn’t opened the door with a knife, she’d still be alive.” … What?! 😳

• #1: The Best Porch Pirate Roast Ever – A guy caught a thief on his Ring cam and absolutely destroyed him.

Best Quotes:

• "Brad Pitt took the red pill… oh wait, never mind."
• "AI Mahomes is too real. Should we be worried?"
• "OJ’s agent knew all this for 30 years and just NOW decided to mention it?"
• "That porch pirate got absolutely cooked—I need a whole show of this."

On this Valentine’s Day edition of The Morning X, Barnes and Leslie dive into a hot topic: plastic surgery. January saw the highest number of procedures, with many aiming for a "new year, new you." Listeners call in to share their experiences and wish lists, from Botox to eye lifts to breast augmentation. One caller even walked away from a consultation with a $6,000 estimate! The crew debates the risks of overseas surgery, the pressure to look young, and the fine line between enhancement and excess. And while women shared their stories, the guys stayed silent—maybe avoiding any awkward Valentine's Day conversations.

SNL Turns 50, Letterman’s Surprise Drop-In, and Harrison Ford’s Dangerous Hobby

On this episode of Morning X, Barnes, Leslie, and Crash cover everything from Amy Poehler’s new podcast, "Good Hang", to the insane lineup for SNL’s 50th anniversary special. Everyone from Eddie Murphy to Paul McCartney is showing up, making it the ultimate nostalgia-fest.

David Letterman made a surprise appearance on The Tonight Show, looking slightly lost but still dropping classic one-liners about being miserable, drinking too much, and never living up to Johnny Carson.

Meanwhile, Harrison Ford says he wants to retire… and fly more planes. Given his history of emergency landings (including one on a golf course), this seems like an objectively terrible idea.

And in the most questionable Valentine’s Day gift idea of all time, Domino’s released a pepperoni perfume. Because who wouldn’t want to smell like a pizza on date night? As Jimmy Fallon put it, “It’s the perfect way to tell the world you’re still single.”

Best Quotes:

• "Amy Poehler finally has a podcast. A little late."
• "Harrison Ford wants to fly more planes? Hasn’t he had enough emergency landings?"
• "Letterman’s back. Kinda. Sorta. Mostly lost."
• "Domino’s pepperoni perfume—because nothing says ‘I love you’ like smelling like an XL Meat Feast."

A Love Story That Broke Two Grown Men

• Jimmy went to his best friend’s wedding, but what started as a casual elopement turned into a moment that hit everyone in the feels.
• The Bride’s Ultimate Gift: She had secretly saved every little piece of their relationship—from handwritten directions to dried petals from every bouquet he ever gave her.
• Barnes called it a “psycho move.” Crash felt nothing. But Jimmy? Sitting in a hotel room crying his eyes out with the groom.
• The emotional scale: Groom goes from nervous 10 to a love-struck 20 in one moment.
• The ultimate test: Would you be touched or creeped out if your partner handed you a relationship scrapbook spanning years?
• Barnes was waiting for the twist: “I thought the last page was gonna be another guy.”
• Crash? Unmoved. The man is made of stone.

🚨 If you ever doubted the power of nostalgia, this story will hit you.

Crash’s Etiquette Boot Camp—Can He Survive the Four Seasons?

• Emergency etiquette training for Crash before he takes his spring break mindset to a high-end resort. Can Alison from Elevate Etiquette work a miracle?
• Step one: No Bud Light shirts, no cannonballing into the lazy river.
• Step two: Avoid pestering celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence at the pool bar.
• Step three: Don’t be the guy who overloads at the buffet and under-tips.
• Crash’s new wardrobe includes a polo that says “Tahiti Slam Island Club.” …And somehow, that’s an improvement.
• Barnes is officially nervous. “I’m rolling you out to my #1 client, don’t blow it.”
• Alison’s etiquette pro tips: Pace yourself, act like you belong, and ditch the tourist move of saving pool chairs with a rolled-up towel at 5:30 AM.
• How did Crash take it? “Yeah, yeah, don’t be a Florida dirtbag.”
• BONUS: Alison just finished her new book, Was It Something I Said? Everyday Etiquette for Life, Work, and Love.
