- No Wins This Week? Think Again! | Feel Good Friday (11/13/26)
Sometimes the biggest win of the week is simply making it through—and sometimes you have to be reminded that you've accomplished more than you think!
It's Feel Good Friday on the Zebra Morning Show, and Mr. Nesi is checking in with Nelson, Julennia, and Adriel to find out what went right this week. From finally completing night school to marching in a Veterans Day celebration and making progress in the boxing gym, the conversation proves that victories come in all shapes and sizes.
The crew also gets honest about the realities of student life. Not every week is amazing. Work can be exhausting, schedules get busy, and sometimes the best weekend plan is simply getting some rest.
There's plenty to look forward to, too. Grocery shopping, a Veterans Day photo opportunity, a comedy show, softball playoffs, Friendsgiving, and even a little pickleball talk make their way into the conversation.
Whether you're having an amazing week or just trying to get to Friday, this episode is a reminder to recognize your progress, appreciate the little things, and give yourself credit for showing up.
Press play and find your own win of the week!

6 min - Pizza, Throwbacks & Trivia: Can You Name Them All? (11/12/26)
Pizza has a way of bringing people together—but how much do you really know about the pizza chains, toppings, and memories behind America's favorite comfort food?
Mr. Nesi is flying solo for this Throwback Thursday edition of the Zebra Morning Show, and he's bringing a trivia challenge that's guaranteed to make you hungry for more. With no co-hosts available to compete, he's putting the questions directly to Zebra Nation and everyone watching or listening.
The challenge starts with five questions about familiar pizza restaurants, unforgettable advertising slogans, legendary arcade birthday parties, and the rectangular pizza that became a school cafeteria staple. Then it's time to identify mystery pizza toppings using a series of clues. Some answers might seem obvious, but others could spark a debate at your lunch table.
And here's the twist: Mr. Nesi isn't revealing the answers just yet. You'll have to submit your guesses and tune in Friday for the results.
Whether you're a pepperoni traditionalist, a pineapple enthusiast, or someone who remembers the pizza places of years past, this is your chance to prove your pizza knowledge.
Grab a slice, play along, and see how many you can get right!

5 min - Building Something Bigger: The Future of Zebra Football (11/11/26)
What if the most important victories in a football season aren't always reflected on the scoreboard?
New Brunswick football is in the middle of building something special, and Head Football Coach Mr. Chrisman is here to explain why the future of Zebra football is worth getting excited about.
Joining Mr. Nesi and Mr. Alex, Coach Chrisman takes an honest look at the 2026 season and the progress happening throughout the program. While the varsity team finished without a win, the bigger picture tells a different story. The program has grown from just 13 players to approximately 50, team GPAs have improved, disciplinary write-ups have nearly disappeared, and the younger players are gaining valuable experience.
But building a football program takes more than showing up on Friday nights. Coach Chrisman explains the demands of preparation, the importance of strength training, the commitment required during the summer, and the work that happens long after the final whistle.
There's also an exciting look ahead. With a more experienced roster returning, a stronger JV structure taking shape, college recruiting opportunities approaching, and connections growing throughout the New Brunswick community, the next chapter is already underway.
Whether you're a football fan, a student considering joining the team, a parent, or someone who wants to see New Brunswick athletics succeed, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build a program.
The message is simple: the foundation is in place. Now it's time to take the next step.

14 min - Can You Guess These 5 Famous Brands? | Trivia Tuesday (11/10/26)
Think you know the biggest brands in the world? Let's see if you can recognize them without seeing their logos!
Mr. Nesi is flying solo for Trivia Tuesday, but that doesn't mean Zebra Nation can't play along. This week's challenge is Guess the Brand, a five-question game that puts your knowledge of popular companies, products, logos, and business history to the test.
Each question comes with three clues. You'll hear about a company that began as an online bookstore, an athletic brand recognized by its famous swoosh, a search engine that once had a very different name, a coffee company with a mermaid mascot, and a DVD rental service that helped make binge-watching part of everyday life.
Think you've figured them out? Don't keep your answers to yourself! Send them through Instagram, email, or stop by the studio and take your shot on Wild Card Wednesday.
There's also an open invitation for students interested in joining the Zebra Podcast Network. Three seats are available, and you don't need broadcasting experience to get started. Sometimes all you have to do is show up.
Your school. Your voice. Your opportunity to be heard.

4 min - Motivation Monday: Fix Your Grades Before the Break! (11/2/26)
With a school break approaching and the first marking period nearly over, Mr. Nesi and Mr. Alex encourage students to check their grades, complete missing assignments, and communicate with teachers rather than waiting until the last minute. They also explore why extra credit isn't always the answer and share an example of how genuine curiosity can make learning more meaningful.

4 min - Small Wins, Halloween Plans & a Little Friendly Conflict | Feel Good Friday (10/30/26)
What's one good thing that happened to you this week? Sometimes, the smallest wins deserve the biggest celebrations.
A perfect test score. Making it to school on time. Helping bring a major school event to life. Everyone has something worth celebrating, and this Feel Good Friday is all about finding it.
Mr. Nesi welcomes students Jose, Jayden, and Susan for a relaxed conversation about the week's highlights and the Halloween weekend ahead. From Susan's perfect environmental science score and Jayden's successful test to the behind-the-scenes work of bringing school events to the community, the conversation is a reminder that progress looks different for everyone.
Then the Halloween stories begin. The group talks costumes, trick-or-treating, favorite candy, and childhood memories—including a ladybug, Bumblebee, and a last-minute clown costume. There's also a little superhero debate, a discussion about what makes people bond, and a very clear invitation for anyone who doesn't want their Reese's candy to keep it moving.
Whether you're a student, educator, parent, or simply someone who enjoys hearing real conversations from a school community, this episode offers a little humor and a useful reminder: you don't need a huge accomplishment to have a good week.
Press play, celebrate a win of your own, and enjoy the Halloween weekend!

4 min - Each Day Is a Gift. Go to Class. | Mrs. Morcos on Making the Most of High School
What if one of the simplest things you can do to improve your future is also one of the easiest to overlook?
This Monday, the Zebra Morning Show welcomes Mrs. Morcos, New Brunswick High School's tenth-grade vice principal, for her first appearance in the studio. From lining up stuffed animals and pretending to be a teacher as a child to earning degrees at Rutgers University and pursuing a career in education, her story is rooted in a passion that started early and never went away.
But there's more to Mrs. Morcos than her role in the school building. She's an English teacher by training, a counselor, a therapist with a private practice, an instructor in Kean University's counseling program, and a mom balancing the busy schedules of two children. Her conversation offers a glimpse into the many roles educators take on and the experiences that shape the people students see in school every day.
The most important part of the conversation, however, is her message to students. Education is an opportunity, even on the days when class feels boring, the schedule feels long, or something more entertaining seems to be happening in the hallway. Mrs. Morcos encourages students to look beyond instant gratification, stay patient, and trust that their effort can pay off over time.
And when it comes to advice for high school? Her message is refreshingly straightforward.
Each day is a gift. Go to class.
