A surprise prequel to The Bear has everyone talking, and we break down the flashback. A robot causes delays on an Oakland flight (because of course it does), and Erik admits he was that neighbor. We get into the bigger question: have we lost hope as a society when it comes to trusting your neighbors? And wrap with a debate on the best (and most underrated) childish snacks.

Hosted by renowned television and radio personality Erik Zachary and his co-host Jordan Foster, XYZ with Erik Zachary is your escape from ordinary radio. There's conversation, music, and plenty of surprises - but make no mistake, this isn't your parents' radio show. (Although Erik’s mom drops by weekly with her own hot takes). XYZ’s mission: eliminate every reason you've ever reached for the aux cord.

Lox Pratt is being dubbed TV’s newest “bad boy” at just 14, and we get into the rise. We put everyone through THE TEST, talk about doorbell friends and intrusive neighbors, and hit a Tech Tidbit. Then we dive into the oddly fascinating story of a group in Poland that LARPs the 4th of July every year, and wrap with “Homens," a cautionary tale from Jordan that you didn’t know you needed.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 opens to a $77M box office, and we break down the success. Mom delivers her Hot Take on Jamaica, and Jordan shares how he accidentally scared a woman on a plane. We reflect on the phrase “remember what you prayed for,” react to Star Wars fans streaming the franchise for 33 billion minutes in 2025, and ask the important question: if we band together can we all buy Spirit Airlines? All that PLUS more information on how YOU can win a trip to Jamaica!
