It’s Throwback Thursday, and today’s game is all about nostalgic sweets. Mr. Nesi puts Mr. Levy to the test in “Dessert Detectives,” a multi-round snack showdown featuring Otter Pops, pudding cups, ice cream sandwiches, and classic school lunch throwbacks.

From finishing iconic snack slogans to debating whether Choco Tacos deserved better, the episode blends humor, childhood memories, and just enough snack trauma (looking at you, Butterfinger). If you grew up cutting open silver pouches, licking ice cream wafers off your fingers, or digging gummy worms out of dirt pudding cups, this one’s for you.

Warning: You may leave this episode extremely hungry.

It’s Feel Good Friday on the Zebra Morning Show, and the energy is all about small wins and big growth. Angel joins the show to share his Win of the Week — attending Cinderella through the Metropolitan Opera screening with theater and chorus students. From funny glass slipper moments to appreciating live performance, it was a cultural highlight.

Adriel jumps in to talk about his first boxing sparring session, earning praise from his coach and building confidence in the ring. The episode wraps with weekend plans (Jersey Gardens mall, gaming uploads, indoor pickleball), reflections on staying on track in class, and a reminder that progress — whether in school, sports, or creative projects — is always worth celebrating.

It’s a warm, encouraging way to close out the week.

It’s Wild Card Wednesday, and things get nerdy in the best way possible. Mr. Levy joins the Zebra Morning Show and casually drops that he’s officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — having appeared as an extra in Captain America: The First Avenger during the Stark Expo scene.

From there, the episode dives deep into superhero debates: Marvel vs. DC, best villains, favorite portrayals of Superman, Christian Bale vs. Henry Cavill, Loki vs. Scarlet Witch, and whether the Zebra Morning Show is now officially MCU canon. There’s also heartfelt reflection on favorite history teachers, what inspires someone to become an educator, and how storytelling connects both comic books and history classrooms.

It’s superhero chaos, teacher shoutouts, and Wild Card energy all wrapped into one.

It’s Friday, February 13th, and love is officially in the air at the Zebra Morning Show. Mr. Nesi kicks things off by sharing his Win of the Week — surprising his wife with secret Valentine’s Day flowers — before walking listeners through his family’s fondue tradition (yes, steak, cheese, and chocolate are all involved).

Angel and Genesis join the show to talk about their own Valentine’s plans, from opera trips and logo design to self-love heart-shaped pizza and chocolate. The episode wraps with wrestling senior night shoutouts, theater program love, and a reminder that Valentine’s Day is about appreciation — whether that’s for someone else or yourself. It’s cozy, positive, and the perfect sendoff into a three-day weekend.

It’s Throwback Thursday on the Zebra Morning Show, and today’s game is all about classic commercial jingles and slogans. Mr. Nesi puts Genesis to the test with a rapid-fire round of iconic lines from TV and radio ads — and let’s just say… the results were mixed.

From confidently crushing “Like a Good Neighbor” to completely blanking on “I’m Lovin’ It,” Genesis battles through cereal mascots, coffee slogans, insurance ads, and the legendary “Break me off a piece of that…” moment. There are some flubs, some saves, and a whole lot of dashboard-smacking listeners. It’s nostalgic, funny, and proof that advertising works — even when you don’t think it does.

It’s Wild Card Wednesday, but since Trivia Tuesday didn’t happen, Mr. Nesi turns the studio into a surprise trivia battleground. Oscar and Genesis go head-to-head in a rapid-fire round covering chemistry, movies, books, geography, history, music, and art — and things get intense fast.

From confusing O₂ with “O” to forgetting Leonardo DiCaprio’s role in Titanic, the competition starts rocky. But Genesis heats up with strong finishes in literature, art, and history, ultimately pulling away for a decisive victory. There’s laughter, mild panic, questionable guesses, and one official “bloodbath” declaration. Classic Zebra Morning Show energy.

It’s Maestro Monday on the Zebra Morning Show, and the spotlight is on Mrs. Cooper, the new 12th Grade Vice Principal at New Brunswick High School—who is also a familiar face returning home. Joined by Oscar and Genesis, Mrs. Cooper shares her journey from teaching history at NBHS years ago to returning as an administrator, explaining what drew her back to the community and why this school still matters so much to her.

The conversation covers her path into education, her love-hate relationship with history that turned into a passion, and why she chose leadership as a way to support both students and teachers. Listeners also get to know Mrs. Cooper beyond the role: her creative hobbies, fashion sense, love of plants and books, and the pride she has in being a mom. The episode closes with thoughtful advice for students—about being present, taking advantage of opportunities, and staying unapologetically yourself.

It’s Wild Card Wednesday on the Zebra Morning Show, and with only a few minutes before the day officially starts, the conversation goes exactly where Wild Card Wednesdays always go—everywhere. Mr. Ness and Mr. Alex check in on what’s top of mind, starting with Super Bowl excitement and unexpected Seahawks fandom before drifting into the surprisingly wholesome side of Reddit.

The episode turns reflective as the hosts talk about online communities, helping strangers through teacher and podcasting forums, and the importance of not overthinking creativity—especially when it comes to naming a podcast. It’s a short but thoughtful episode that blends humor, real talk, and a reminder that sometimes helping someone else is the best way to start your day.

It’s Trivia Tuesday on the Zebra Morning Show, and once again…the soundboard is not working. With Chuckles “locked in the closet,” Mr. Nesi steps in to host a full science-themed trivia showdown featuring Mr. Alex as today’s lone contestant.

From easy questions about planets and cheetahs to harder science covering meteorology, chemistry, space, and noble gases, this episode is packed with learning, laughs, and plenty of confident-but-questionable answers. Along the way, listeners learn about floating rocks, blue sunsets on Mars, oxygen-heavy Earth crusts, and why pumice is definitely not edible. It’s Trivia Tuesday at its finest—educational, competitive, and just a little unhinged.
