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.
