Hear a wild story involving Eddie Vedder and a bottle of wine that got traded for a jersey. Barnes' dentist was at the show and managed to score the bottle, which Barnes now has in his possession. Apparently, Eddie’s wine of choice is a $40 Barolo from Fontana Fredda. It’s not breaking the bank, but it’s still a pretty cool way to drink like a rock star. Want to get in on that action? Barnes is planning to pass it around, so stay tuned for your chance to sip like Eddie Vedder. See the story here.

Also, Amazon has launched "Shop the Show," which lets you buy products from your favorite TV shows and movies. From Avengers toothbrushes to Dateline socks, it’s a treasure trove of themed merchandise. While it might not have the iconic props fans crave, it does offer a lot of fun gift ideas.

A Morning X round table looks at ChatGPT’s new venture into social media, with the AI giant planning to launch a platform focused on AI-generated content. Could this be the next big thing, or is it a step toward a tech-driven nightmare? Meanwhile, AI has already made its mark in the courtroom, helping a family deliver a posthumous impact statement from their deceased relative. The statement had a surprising influence on the judge’s sentencing decision, marking a first in the courtroom and leaving everyone wondering how AI will reshape the justice system.

In other news, Bill Gates believes that teachers and doctors could be replaced by AI within the next decade, and with technology advancing so rapidly, that prediction might not be as far-fetched as it sounds. And in true Morning X fashion, Leslie’s Zoom fail took center stage when a mysterious black screen caused chaos during a meeting.

• Pope Francis in his final interview with Martin Scorsese? This documentary promises a behind-the-scenes look that will make you rethink your Pope knowledge.

• Shaquille O'Neal’s new Netflix series Power Moves is here, and it’s all about his mission to save Reebok. Will he really bring the brand back to life?

• Tom Brady talks about his regrets from the 2024 roast, and yeah, it’s not what you expected.

• Michael Pitt, once a breakout star, is now in the news for all the wrong reasons—this time, it’s cinder blocks and serious allegations.

• Tom Segura's hilarious Mother’s Day story involves a little gift that takes his mom on a wild ride. Maybe you should consider it for your own mom this weekend?
