X-Tensive Morning X-Cavation

• Utilizing state-of-the-art carbon-dating technology, leading scientists have come to the fairly solid conclusion that The Morning X with Barnes & Leslie on 99X/Atlanta has been around for, as one white-coated character noted, “a wicked long time.” To best illustrate that theory, look no further than this amazing video footage (courtesy of Barnes Creative Studios) of the show’s cast — Steve Barnes, Leslie Fram, and Crash Clark — captured during the show’s formative years.

“Who doesn’t like babies?!” Fram tells RAMP. “We’ve been a morning show off and on for many, many years. We have discovered in the archives, footage of our show in its infancy and wanted to share with our listeners. This baby trend presented itself at the right time!”

Barnes added, “We’ve been together so long, and it’s special to share this ‘found’ footage of when we started the show back when we were infants.” Explaining his methodology, Barnes noted, “I used a few different AI programs to create our ‘mini me’s.’ It’s a long process, but social media gold.” Pictured, (l-r): Baby Barnes, Baby Leslie, and Baby Crash
