5 4 26 May The Wack be With You!

May the Wack Be With You It’s Monday, May 4th, 2026, and DaWack in da Morning is blasting out of the low-rent, rammin’ jammin’ Nut Hut Studios with a full tank of weird, wacky, and mildly unstable morning-show energy. This episode celebrates Star Wars Day, because May the Fourth only comes once a year — unless you’re the kind of person who owns three lightsabers and corrects people on Wookiee pronunciation. Zack Da Wack also runs through the May 4th holiday lineup, including National Orange Juice Day, International Firefighters’ Day, Bird Day, Anti-Bullying Day, International Respect for Chickens Day, National Candied Orange Peel Day, National Renewal Day, Melanoma Monday, National Weather Observers Day, and World Give Day.

Expect birthday cake, questionable candles, and enough punchlines to make the frosting nervous. The show also takes a respectful DaWack-style look at May 4th celebrity and notable death anniversaries, including Moe Howard, Cathryn Damon, Bonnie Lee Bakley, Fred Baur, Dom DeLuise, Adam “MCA” Yauch, Ellen Albertini Dow, and Don Shula. In This Day in History, May 4th brings everything from Peter Minuit arriving in Manhattan, Rhode Island dumping King George, and Abraham Lincoln being laid to rest, to Al Capone heading to prison, the first Grammy Awards, the Freedom Riders, Kent State, Margaret Thatcher, the I Love You computer virus, and movie releases like Sixteen Candles, The Mummy Returns, Spider-Man 3, and The Avengers. Plus, in This Day in U.S. Music, we hit Stevie Wonder, Grand Funk Railroad, Queen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Run-DMC, Jennifer Lopez, Metallica vs. Napster, Niall Horan, and Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” — because apparently May 4th is not just Star Wars Day, it’s also a playlist with legal issues and bass. And finally, it’s Stupid News, starring Chonkers the giant sea lion, a teenager accused of licking a vending machine straw, a prom entrance in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, and a Vermont sheep that had six lambs instead of twins — because nature apparently accepts bulk orders.   Star Wars jokes, orange juice, chickens with self-esteem, celebrity birthdays, weird history, music madness, movie nostalgia, Chonkers the sea lion, and just enough stupidity to make the galaxy file a noise complaint.   DaWack in da Morning, May the Fourth, Star Wars Day, stupid news, comedy podcast, celebrity birthdays, this day in history, music history, funny podcast, weird news, Chonkers, Wienermobile, May 4th.   zackdawack.com wack@zackdawack.com

5 1 26 The No Pants May Day Spectacular

It’s May 1st, and DaWack in da Morning is kicking off the month with a holiday lineup that sounds like America threw a calendar into a blender and hit “turbo.” In this episode, we celebrate May Day, Law Day, Loyalty Day, National Chocolate Parfait Day, National No Pants Day, Purebred Dog Day, Sauvignon Blanc Day, and Lei Day — because nothing says “springtime” like patriotism, legal paperwork, fancy dogs, wine vocabulary, and people refusing to wear pants. We also run down May 1 birthdays, including Judy Collins, Rita Coolidge, Ray Parker Jr., Tim McGraw, Wes Anderson, Jamie Dornan, Charli D’Amelio, and Rema — from folk legends and country stars to TikTok fame and ghost-busting theme song royalty. Then it’s a respectful-but-DaWack look at May 1 death anniversaries, including David Livingstone, Spike Jones, Ayrton Senna, Olympia Dukakis, Gordon Lightfoot, and more. Plus, we hit This Day in History, where Great Britain becomes official, the Empire State Building opens, a U-2 spy plane gets shot down, Amtrak starts rolling, and Obama announces the death of Osama bin Laden. And in This Day in Music History, Johnny Cash walks the line, Herman’s Hermits top the charts, Deep Purple gives every guitar-store employee a national anthem, and May 1 proves it has more musical receipts than expected. Finally, we close it out with the official DaWack in da Morning Horriblescopes — where Taurus needs snacks, Gemini needs a filter, Leo needs applause, Scorpio serves ghost-lawyer energy, and Aries may become the reason somebody says, “Can we not do this today?” Episode vibe: May Day chaos, no pants energy, celebrity birthdays, history, music, horoscopes, and just enough nonsense to make the calendar nervous.
