Cinco de Mayo is one of the most widely misunderstood holidays in America — and most of us were never really taught what it's actually about. In this episode I dig into the real story, starting with the Battle of Puebla in 1862, where a hungry, outgunned Mexican army turned back one of the most formidable military forces in the world. We'll look at what was actually at stake, why it may have changed the outcome of the American Civil War, and how a day that started as a political act by Mexican Americans in California got buried under beer commercials and sombreros. The history is better than the holiday it became.

From the It's Time to Be a Father series. Before there was a show, there was just two dads who couldn't stop talking about parenting. This is where it started. Mike and Herman introduce themselves, tell the story behind the show's name, and dig into discipline, compliance, and what it actually means to raise kids you're proud of — including being honest about the ways their own upbringings got it wrong.

This week Newsish has a theme — men in power, sexual harm, and accountability. The New York Times investigation into César Chávez, a Norwegian royal on trial, and a Waco attorney who got 30 days for three years of child sexual abuse while Ken Paxton's office initially offered him nothing.

Second half: chimps at war and making music, sperm whale language, bear costume insurance fraud, a dead alligator under a white sheet, the Ship of Gold treasure hunter walking free with the gold still missing, a man who won't pay for gas because money isn't real, and a German coaching swap too perfect to spoil.

Local: Cowboys draft, Stars playoffs update, FWISD mass firings, and a Dallas adult venue raid with a legal question attached. Closing in Waco with a Whataburger brawl.
