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.

In this life story episode, Herman sits down with Sabrina Ball, a Fort Worth wife, mother, and activist who has spent her life navigating loss and moving forward from it without ever losing her footing. From growing up biracial in a small North Texas town with a controlling stepfather and a mother who worked nights, to building a life of independence before choosing to trust someone enough to set that independence down, Sabrina's story is one of quiet resilience. She talks about the white Southern family that raised her and the painful decision to walk away from them, her complicated relationships with both of her fathers, losing her mother too soon, and what it means to give up a career to raise your kids only to redirect that same energy into trying to change the world they're growing up in. We meet her at a crossroads, uncertain whether she is building toward something new or finding closure on the life she has known, and wrestling with that uncertainty with the same forward momentum she has always had.Li

Today's show is cut into two halves, the serious and the fun. We start with updates on the US war with Iran, and Trump warring with the Pope. The working class may be rising up. The supreme court makes a ruling that stops a harmful practice from being banned, and an Ohio bill that if becoming law could be very harmful as well. We check in with the treasury and CDC before finally taking a big sigh. In science news, Artemis 2 has launched and returned, a new dinosaur is discovers, and new lifeforms are living on garbage in the ocean. Weird crime and local news wraps the show. Enjoy
