MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WGNS) — Ed the Zebra’s escape and eventual capture may have played out in Middle Tennessee, but the story continues to trot into conversations across the country—including on nationally syndicated talk radio.

On the Rick Burgess Show, which airs weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on WGNS, host Rick Burgess and co-hosts Calvin “Speedy” Wilburn, Greg Burgess, and Chris “Eddie Van” Adler shared their thoughts on the viral zebra saga. Their discussion came just one day after Rick experienced travel delays returning from Texas due to storms—making the lighthearted topic of Ed the Zebra a welcome shift in tone.

The group gave humorous commentary on the now-famous animal, who captured hearts—and headlines—during several days on the loose in Rutherford County. WGNS kept the show’s team updated throughout Ed’s adventure, which made national news.

From airport delays to runaway zebras, the Rick Burgess Show offered its audience a dose of laughter and levity, all thanks to one striped escapee who became an unlikely celebrity.
