XYZ | Donkey Gets His Own Movie, Pickleball Converts, and Open Kitchen Disasters

The Donkey spinoff from the Shrek universe is officially set to hit theaters in 2028, and we discuss whether everyone's favorite farm animal deserves the spotlight. Mom delivers her Hot Take on modern college majors, Jordan explains the one thing that almost convinced him to give pickleball a chance, and we react to a dragon flying over London. We also debate the actors who are so iconic you can only ever see them as one character, and wrap with the restaurant whose open kitchen experience quickly became everyone's problem. 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).
