Morning Round Up | July 28, 2026

In this segment of The Morning X, they start off by pressing Crash for details on a mysterious, ongoing HR situation that he is refusing to fully explain. Barnes then reveals an incredible luxury suite giveaway for an upcoming 99X arena show, leading to an on-air pop quiz when someone complains about not getting an invite despite knowing absolutely nothing about the band. The conversation takes a serious and emotional turn as they analyze a heartbreaking, desperate plea from a famous morning TV anchor regarding a missing family member, debating the right way to negotiate with completely "soulless" individuals. Plus, stick around to hear the genius, covert trick a college professor used to bust dozens of his students for using artificial intelligence to cheat on their midterm.
