  • Is Social Media a Problem? | The Debate Club Sparks a Conversation at NBHS (10/22/25)
    Oct 22 2025

    In this lively Wild Card Wednesday episode of The Zebra Morning Show, Mr. Nesi sits down with Haley, Francisco, and Kevin to tackle a question straight from the Debate Club: Is social media a problem? The conversation dives into how students actually use platforms like Instagram and TikTok — from posting soccer highlights to sharing sunsets — and whether social media helps or hurts in everyday life.

    Listeners will hear authentic student perspectives on privacy, friendships, and the weird quirks of online behavior (“Because you’re weird… like Kevin!”). The crew also shares a shout-out to a listener tuning in all the way from Brazil — proof that Zebra Nation reaches far and wide!

  • Motivational Monday: Keep Trying, Keep Learning, Never Give Up (10/20/25)
    Oct 20 2025

    It’s Maestro Monday — or at least, it was supposed to be! When the scheduled guest couldn’t make it, the Zebra Morning Show crew turned the episode into a powerful Motivational Monday instead. Mr. Nesi leads the conversation with heartfelt advice about courage, learning from failure, and the importance of trying new things even when success isn’t guaranteed.

    The rest of the team—Mr. Alex, Oscar, and Jeffrey—join in to share their own words of wisdom. From keeping perspective when life gets hard to remembering that every day ends, this short but uplifting episode reminds listeners that growth comes from effort, not perfection. It’s the perfect way to kick off the week with positivity, humor, and Zebra Nation pride.

    Oct 16 2025

    It’s Throwback Thursday on the Zebra Morning Show, and today’s episode is a mix of nostalgia and excitement! Mr. Nesi, Haley, and Jeffrey kick things off by giving a shoutout to their listener in Brazil, Mr. Leo, who’s planning an international Trivia Tuesday crossover between his students and the Zebras! The crew reflects on what it means to represent not just New Brunswick High School but the USA in a global trivia challenge.

    From there, they take it way back — sharing their earliest childhood memories, first days of school, favorite cafeteria foods, and funny stories from growing up. Haley talks about her kindergarten birthday, while Jeffrey remembers launching himself off a bunk bed into a pile of pillows. Along the way, the conversation drifts into favorite school lunches (meatball subs and tater tots!), middle school memories, math class confessions, and future sports plans like tennis and softball.

    With humor, heart, and a few surprise revelations, this episode captures what Throwback Thursday is all about: friendship, reflection, and laughter that spans generations — and even continents.
