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.
Then it’s time for the May 4th celebrity birthdays, featuring Richard Jenkins, Jackie Jackson, Mick Mars, Randy Travis, Will Arnett, Mike Dirnt, Erin Andrews, Lance Bass, Rory McIlroy, Shameik Moore, and a nod to the legendary Audrey Hepburn. 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.
