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.

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.

It’s Trivia Tuesday on the Zebra Morning Show, and Oscar steps into the hot seat for a New Year–themed trivia challenge hosted by the always-unforgiving Chuckles McFlunster. The topic? The iconic Times Square New Year’s Eve ball. The results? Painfully hilarious.

From guessing the wrong decades to wildly underestimating the number of lights and triangles on the ball, Oscar battles through ten questions with confidence, confusion, and plenty of good-natured roasting. Despite the rough showing, the episode wraps with laughs, encouragement, and a reminder that it’s only Day Two back from break — plenty of time to bounce back. A perfect example of why Trivia Tuesday remains one of the most entertaining segments on the show.

On this special Maestro Monday edition of The Zebra Morning Show, Mr. Nesi sits down with Mr. Dziuba, NBHS’s 2025–2026 Educator of the Year and now a two-time winner of the honor. Mr. Dziuba reflects on what the recognition means to him as a first-generation college graduate and how it represents the “fruits of the labor” after more than a decade of growth at New Brunswick High School.

The conversation dives deep into Mr. Dziuba’s philosophy on teaching math, where numbers are the vehicle — but life skills, confidence, consistency, and vulnerability are the real lessons. He shares how math anxiety, discipline, communication, and showing up prepared all connect to success beyond the classroom. The episode wraps with a powerful discussion about why extracurricular involvement matters so much to him, how school “saved his life,” and why learning should always be fun.
