Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today we talk about America’s favorite Mexican holiday that celebrates the victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla. Wait, you didn’t think Cinco de Mayo was Mexican Independence Day, did you? Oh, ho, ho, ho! We have got some learning to do! Listen to Today is The Greatest and Did You Know to learn more about the history of today’s celebrations. 

Emily’s birthday is this weekend, and she’s excited to host her live event. But she’s even more excited to declare that birthdays don’t necessarily need a birthday cake. If you don’t like cake, why celebrate with one anyway? Not that Emily hates cake or anything – she just wanted to make banana pudding for her birthday week. Celebrate with cookies! Or pie! Or ice cream! We discuss our favorite treats on today’s Leftovers. 

And we hear a lot about how artificial intelligence, or A.I., is potentially harmful for society. But on today’s Weird or Wired Matt has found an instance where AI is helping people, and it’s making them money. Progress is great! Sometimes!
