It’s Feel Good Friday on the Zebra Morning Show, and the good vibes are strong. Mr. Nesi kicks things off by sharing his win of the week: Alumni Day 2026, celebrating former Zebras who’ve gone on to college, careers, and meaningful lives—and who are willing to come back and give advice to current students.

The episode also features a student spotlight with Angel, a senior who talks about being part of Zombie Prom, balancing drama club, culinary arts, photography, debate club, and Key Club, and looking ahead to life after graduation. From personal pizza week to debating cell phones in school, weekend plans at the mall, and dreams of a future in computer programming, this episode perfectly captures school spirit, student voice, and the feel-good energy heading into a long weekend.

It’s Throwback Thursday on the Zebra Morning Show, and the spotlight is on Oscar’s first-ever theater performance. After years of being around productions, Oscar finally steps on stage for real—and discovers he actually loves it. Mr. Nesi digs into what pushed Oscar to finally join drama club, how encouragement from teachers made a difference, and what it felt like to perform in front of a full audience for the first time.

Oscar shares highlights from rehearsal, the post-show celebration, and the moment of walking into the lobby to see family, friends, and administrators waiting to congratulate the cast. From stage lights and ensemble singing to playing a protective (and very angry) dad character, the episode captures the excitement, pride, and nerves that come with trying something new. It’s a great reminder that sometimes the best throwbacks are the “firsts” you’ll remember forever.

It’s Wildcard Wednesday on the Zebra Morning Show, and the conversation goes exactly where Wildcard Wednesdays tend to go—everywhere. Mr. Nesi and Mr. Alex start with a simple question: where does school sports history actually live? From there, things spiral into missing records, century-old hockey championships, imaginary NBHS hockey jerseys, and the need for a school “Hall of Records.”

Along the way, the episode detours into hockey fandom, loyalty to struggling teams, Costco finds, teacher fashion ideas, and a surprisingly solid proposal for individual teacher spirit weeks. It’s a Seinfeld-style episode where nothing and everything gets discussed—perfect for a midweek morning laugh and a reminder that the Zebra Morning Show doesn’t always need a plan to be entertaining.

It’s Trivia Tuesday on the Zebra Morning Show, and things get competitive (and hilarious) as Mr. Nesi puts Mr. Alex and Oscar to the test with a round of Guess the Sitcom Theme Song. From classic shows like The Simpsons, Friends, and Everybody Loves Raymond to more modern favorites like The Office and Parks and Rec, the trio works their way through decades of TV history—sometimes confidently, sometimes… not so much.

Along the way, there are fun facts, debates about what actually counts as a sitcom, plenty of missed guesses, and classic Zebra Morning Show banter. Whether you’re a TV superfan or someone who “recognizes the song but not the name,” this episode is a lighthearted way to kick off the school day.

It’s the first Feel Good Friday of 2026 on the Zebra Morning Show, and Mr. Nesi is feeling good, healthy, and ready to roll. After officially retiring the “Happy New Year” greetings for the year, he shares his win of the week: welcoming ninth graders back after winter break and getting everyone back into the rhythm of school. With the school year nearly halfway done, he reflects on how rewarding it is to see students grow and change over time.

Mr. Nesi also previews his weekend plans, including taking his ten-year-old son to boxing class (a new passion) and, of course, continuing his undefeated winter tradition of indoor pickleball on Sundays. He wraps things up by inviting listeners to share their own weekend plans, encouraging more interaction across platforms, and reminding students that anyone can get involved with the Zebra Morning Show.

It’s Throwback Thursday on the Zebra Morning Show, and Mr. Nesi is joined by Mr. Alex for a snowy walk down memory lane. The conversation naturally turns to childhood winter memories, especially the legendary Blizzard of 1996, when snow was measured in feet, not inches—and school was canceled for almost an entire week.

Mr. Alex shares unforgettable moments like ice skating in the street, tubing down driveway snowbanks, and climbing massive mall snow piles that reached light poles (until they turned black and gross). The duo also reflects on how snowstorms used to linger for weeks, compares past winters to today’s weather patterns, and predicts that more snow is still coming this season. The episode wraps with shoutouts to listeners, continued teasing of the long-awaited international trivia challenge, and a reminder that Feel Good Friday is coming up next.
