On this Friday edition of The Morning X, Barnes and Crash are on pins and needles waiting for a career-defining callback. Plus, they count down the top five most viral audio clips of the week. Tune in to hear a woman's "granite slab" test for personal attractiveness, an unhinged rant from a famous rock frontman's son, and a 14-year-old prodigy blowing a stadium crowd away. Finally, they reveal the real-life romantic rejection that inspired one of alternative rock's biggest anthems, and debut a crude, song-ified leak of the actual text messages explaining someone's mysterious absence.
