The Alcatraz Coyote Cupcake Incident

Show NotesThe Alcatraz Coyote Cupcake Incident

It’s Monday, May 11th, 2026, and DaWack in da Morning is entering another dimension — one where calories wear disguises, cupcakes have legal representation, coyotes swim to Alcatraz, and the universe starts the week by tracking dirt across your peace.

In this episode, Zack Da Wack runs down the May 11 holiday lineup, including National Eat What You Want Day, National Twilight Zone Day, National Women’s Checkup Day, National Foam Rolling Day, Hostess CupCake Day, National Mocha Torte Day, World Ego Awareness Day, National Technology Day, and Somerset Day. That means today we honor cake, coffee, medical appointments, haunted printers, painful exercise tubes, and egos so big they need their own ZIP code.

Then it’s time for the May 11 birthday list, featuring Irving Berlin, Salvador Dalí, Richard Feynman, Mort Sahl, Eric Burdon, Pam Ferris, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Martha Quinn, Tim Blake Nelson, Jeffrey Donovan, Cam Newton, Prince Royce, Blac Chyna, Coi Leray, Lana Condor, Sabrina Carpenter, and Yuki Tsunoda. It’s a birthday table loaded with songwriters, surrealists, scientists, comedians, actors, athletes, pop stars, and enough candles to make the fire marshal clear his throat.

The show also remembers notable May 11 death anniversaries, including John D. Rockefeller, Lester Flatt, Bob Marley, Chester Gould, Fritz Pollard, Douglas Adams, Noel Redding, Floyd Patterson, Peggy Lipton, Jerry Stiller, Norman Lloyd, and Susan Backlinie — with respect, nostalgia, and just enough DaWack seasoning to keep the room awake.

In Stupid News, the planet continues behaving like it lost its instructions. A coyote swims to Alcatraz like a furry prison-island athlete, real-life WKRP call letters arrive in Cincinnati, a kitten gets rescued from tornado rubble, a bear tries to break into a bakery for cinnamon rolls, Jimmy Fallon bites a microphone at the Miami Grand Prix, teens in Argentina go full animal mode, and a PGA golfer takes his shirt off near a gator-filled hazard.

Plus, Shooting the Bull brings dog-sized World Cup jerseys, Atlanta’s surprisingly social “Death Cafe,” Mother’s Day research proving households would crash and burn without Mom, Tripadvisor’s top tourist attractions, funny tweets from women, Ask Jeeves finally shutting down, whack facts, signs it’s time to move out of your parents’ house, and classic Momisms just in time for Mother’s Day.

And finally, the stars get dragged back into the studio for the official DaWack in da Morning Horriblescopes for Monday, May 11th, 2026 — where Taurus protects snacks and sanity, Gemini has 47 brain tabs open, Leo enters like an unbooked lead singer, Scorpio smells nonsense before it logs in, Sagittarius flirts with bad ideas, and Aries starts the week like a lawn mower full of espresso.

Cupcakes, Twilight Zone energy, haunted technology, birthday chaos, Bob Marley, Jerry Stiller, Alcatraz coyotes, bakery bears, microphone biting, Mother’s Day truth bombs, weird facts, and Monday horoscopes with absolutely no emotional support from the universe.
