Childhood Holiday Memories & Coffee-Induced Chaos (12/4/25)

Today’s Throwback Thursday on the Zebra Morning Show is brought to you by none other than Oscar, who chose the topic for the day: everyone shares their favorite holiday memory from age ten or younger. The crew delivers big, with stories ranging from family traditions to unexpected disasters.Mr. Nesi kicks things off with a hilarious tale from the mid-80s when his entire family gave four-year-old him spoonfuls of coffee — resulting in a day-and-a-half of bouncing off the walls and a lifelong hatred of coffee. Oscar shares his visit to the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree (and the overcrowded chaos), plus the Italian food that made the trip worth it. Amir’s story takes a clumsy twist as he explains how a slip, a cart, and a busted chin turned Halloween into a hospital visit. And Mr. Alex reflects on childhood holiday parties at Bell Labs — and how visiting the site today brings back instant waves of nostalgia.The episode wraps with talk about holiday light shows, jokes about electricity and sockets, and a preview of tomorrow’s Feel Good Friday show live from the cafeteria.-----Submit a shout out: ⁠https://forms.gle/xUhbEC2WU92pewSi9⁠Send us a voicemail: ⁠https://zebrapodcastnetwork.com/shoutout⁠Connect with the Zebra Podcast NetworkX: ⁠https://twitter.com/zebrapodcastnet⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/zebrapodcastnet⁠TikTok: https://tiktok.com/zebrapodcastnetYouTube: ⁠http://zebrapodcastnetwork.com/youtube⁠Twitch: ⁠http://zebrapodcastnetwork.com/twitch⁠Website: ⁠http://zebrapodcastnetwork.com
