“Chocolate Chips, Flying Mickey & Elf Ears: The May 15th Madness Episode”

On this episode of DaWack in da Morning, Zack Da Wack fires up the May 15th weirdness machine with holidays, birthdays, history, music, showbiz buzz, stupid science, and enough oddball facts to make your coffee question its life choices.

We celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, National Pizza Party Day, Bring Flowers to Someone Day, National NASCAR Day, Work From Home Day, Dinosaur Day, and a few serious observances including Peace Officers Memorial Day, Endangered Species Day, and awareness days for HG, MPS, and Kangaroo Care.

Then it’s the May 15 birthday roll call featuring L. Frank Baum, Madeleine Albright, Trini Lopez, Chazz Palminteri, George Brett, Dan Patrick, Emmitt Smith, Ray Lewis, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Birdy, and more — all getting the DaWack-style treatment.

In This Day in History, Cape Cod gets the most obvious name ever, John Adams sends the federal government to Washington, Lincoln creates the Department of Agriculture, Standard Oil gets busted up, Mickey and Minnie take off in Plane Crazy, McDonald’s starts as barbecue, Sputnik 3 launches, and California makes same-sex marriage history.

In This Day in Music, Elvis has a dental disaster, Bob Dylan hits the Top 40, The Byrds bring folk rock to the charts, CSNY tops the album chart, McCartney and Stevie Wonder go No. 1 with “Ebony and Ivory,” Asia goes full arena-dragon, Aerosmith gets a grip, and Blur takes a walk through Parklife.

Plus: showbiz buzz on Stephen Colbert’s final Late Show, Martin Short’s new Netflix documentary, Dave Coulier’s health update, Stanley Pup, Shakira’s World Cup music return, Dua Lipa suing Samsung, Billie Eilish in 3D, Red Hot Chili Peppers selling their catalog, Oasis documentary news, and Gene Simmons teasing new Kiss music.

And because this is DaWack, we also get birds apparently more afraid of women than men, South Korea’s “elf ears” beauty trend, wellness obsession burnout, luxuries that are actually worth it, Guitar Center’s most overplayed riffs, crying as emotional maintenance, tapeworm terror, etiquette tips, and ways to make NHL playoffs more exciting for people who don’t understand icing.

DaWack in da Morning — where the facts are real, the punchlines are suspicious, and May 15th comes in hotter than shredded cheese over the sink.
