3/16/26 STAYCATION SETUP - BODY COUNT COMPETITION

It is not hard to destroy a college.

Last season, the podcast Campus Files brought you stories of fraternity drug

rings, stolen body parts, campus colts, and more.

And now Campus Files is back for another season.

There's a guy screaming into his phone. He's like, I just saw Charlie Kirk assassinated right in front of me.

Every week is a new episode and a new story.

It was so chaotic. It's almost like a university on a siege.

Listen to and follow Campus Files, available now wherever you get your podcasts.

It's time for the stay case to set up with the morning mess.

The point of the show where we try to catch cheaters live on your radio.

We have live in Scottsdale on the line. I live.

You think your man is cheating on you because you have a higher body count than him?

I know. This is like supposed to be.

But I just need to find out if my boyfriend is just trying to compete with me or something because of my body count.

Oh God. Well, what is it?

You're sorry. We've been dating exclusively for four months now.

And a month ago, this all went down.

We stayed in for dinner one night. We were drinking some wine.

And we started playing like one of those stupid couples card games that asked you like questions.

So you get to know each other deeper.

That's dangerous. Yeah.

To my breakup.

These are tough games. I hated them.

Exactly. And like one of them was share with your partner what your body count is.

Oh Lord.

Wrong stack.

So he like immediately answered it.

And he was like seven.

And I was like, oh, I kind of like was caught off guard.

I don't want to tell him the real number.

What is it?

Share with the class.

I can't even say it.

Say it. Say it.

Say it. You do it.

I'm not telling you just like you got like he's not letting it go.

It's been a month and he just he's asking me.

So like I exploded.

And I told him my number was 35.

35?

Yeah. Well, my number was 35.

And he's completely shut down since then.

I just completely think that I don't know.

Maybe I heard his ego.

Maybe he's cheating now.

Like it's just been super weird.

So he's like going out with his friends more often.

And like not just going out on weekends.

But he's going out like after work on weekdays.

And yesterday he had all these text pop up on his phone with different girls name.

And I asked him like who are these random people that you're getting text messages from.

And he told me like, oh, don't worry about it.

And now I'm like kind of skewed out like what's going on over there?

And is he cheating with random chicks?

To like touch up to my number?

I don't know.

Is this like some twisted game of him playing ketchup?

Because like his ego can handle it.

I don't know.

Probably he's my theory is right.

So I want to put him to the test.

Okay. Well, we will do that.

We will call him up off from a free romantic hotel stay and see who he wants to put on the reservation live.

We hope he says your name.

If not, then he's definitely trying to play a game of ketchup, which is damn near impossible.

You're at 35.

Jesus.

You don't need to go in order so much, man.

Don't even respond to what I just said.

She has experience, guys.

He's lucky to have a woman with experience.

Absolutely.

Exactly.

Like I can't help it that his number is that low?

Right.

Right.

Enough about JD though.

Okay.

All right.

So all right.

Well, we're going to find out in a few minutes if he is cheating.

Is it automatically over?

Are you killing the relationship?

Or are you going to give him a second chance of an ultimatum?

We'll talk if he works.

I guess.

Fair enough.

Here we go.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

May I speak to Eli?

Yeah.

This is Eli.

Who's this?

Hi, Eli.

My name is Selena.

And I'm calling with the Aurora Hotel with some awesome news for you.

You're the winner of our free romance giveaway for two.

No, I'm good.

Thank you.

I didn't sign up for anything.

Thank you, though.

Oh, no.

I completely understand that you didn't sign up for anything.

But what we actually did was saw your really present on Google and your reviews.

So I pulled your name from those sites because all we ask in return for this day is a review of it.

And that's pretty much it.

I'm not trying to spend any money here.

I don't have any money for this right now.

So thank you.

Of course, I completely get it.

And that's the best thing about this giveaway here is it's completely free.

And you get to bring a guess so you get to enjoy this completely free stay for a weekend.

What's someone special on your life?

Okay.

And for real free.

Yes.

Correct.

Then yeah.

Awesome.

Congratulations, Eli.

I'm really excited to set this up for you.

Something fun we do here at the Aurora Hotel is address this sweet or saucy note to that guest you're bringing with you.

So I can give you a moment to think on what you want this note to say.

And then I can write it down whenever you're ready.

Okay.

Let me do a saucy note.

Okay.

Can you write?

And I guess what you're wearing underneath all of that?

I can most definitely write that down for you, Eli.

That's a good one.

I'm sure your guest is going to love it.

Now that it's written down just one more question for you who check to bring on this free romantic stay.

Jessica.

Jessica.

Hello.

Yeah.

So live is on the line where a morning show called the morning mess your life on the radio.

Legally, we got to let you know that she has a few questions for you.

Is there an ego that must have been cheating on me with other people?

How many other people are there?

What the fuck do you expect from me?

Do you think I was going to be okay with you with more people than I have?

I can't get that shit out of my head.

Are you serious?

Hello.

35.

That's me.

Stop.

I do something with us with you.

And now I am right about everything.

Apologize me.

Don't waste any more of my time.

Apologize to you.

Apologize to you.

Oh, man.

What the hell, bro?

Bro, we just caught you trying to cheat or cheating again on your lady.

The least you can do is Apologize.

Exactly.

I don't know why I should apologize for trying to catch up to like what she did.

Do you hear yourself, man?

Yeah.

You are bad and secure.

This is why I didn't want to tell you anything.

I told you that I didn't care that your body cat was lower.

I like that about you.

Instead, you're like feeling emasculated with a heart problem.

I just don't know how you expect me to feel that my own damn girlfriend is sleeping around that many times.

She's not.

She's not, bro.

Yeah.

She's with you.

It doesn't matter if it's 35, 35, or 350.

Well, that's different.

It's a lot different.

Before you, if you're going to be this judgmental and secure, we do not need to be in the relationship anymore.

And you need to apologize for me before.

Fine.

Whatever.

We can be done.

You can go sleep with whoever the fuck you want because clearly that's all my life.

Yeah, okay.

He's an idiot.

We're done with Eli.

All right.

Eli, are you there?

Yeah.

He hung up.

So it gives you an opportunity to go find 36.

I've never heard of a man who wants to try to catch up to his lady like.

I knew he was cheating though.

I knew it.

Did you tell it was seven?

Yes.

Yeah.

You told it.

Should have told about that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She dominated the bedroom for sure.

Some time.

You got to risk it.

35 biscuits.

Yeah.

It's a biscuit.

It's a gravy without biscuit.

He did not like that.

No.

He did not want to stop up that.

Stop is a good word.

Hey, everyone.

I'm Josh Radiner.

And I am so excited to tell you about how we made your mother a rewatch podcast looking back at how I met your mother.

And I'm here with Craig Thomas, who co-created the show along with Carter Bayes,

Hi, Craig.

Hey, Josh.

Somehow, it has been 20 years since the show premiered.

I'm going to check the math on that.

10 years since it went off the air.

And we thought that made this a perfect time to look back, see what the hell we did,

and why the show still seems to resonate with fans around the world today.
