We're celebrating National Seafood Bisque Day, National New Friends Day, Evaluate Your Life Day, and International Gin and Tonic Day.

🔮 DAWACK’S  MONDAY HORRIBLESCOPES
October 12–18, 2026
Disclaimer: For entertainment only. The stars accept no responsibility for your stupidity.
♈ Aries (Mar 21–Apr 19)
Your confidence is impressive for someone so full of shit. Try listening. Your coworkers are taking bets.
♉ Taurus (Apr 20–May 20)
You’re stubborn, lazy and convinced everyone else is the problem. The stars suggest growth. You suggest they screw themselves.
♊ Gemini (May 21–Jun 20)
Your two personalities are fighting again, and both are losing. Consult your remaining brain cell.
♋ Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22)
Stop inventing emotional problems. Not every unanswered text is an attack. Sometimes people just don’t like you.
♌ Leo (Jul 23–Aug 22)
You’re not the main character. You’re the loud asshole ruining everyone else’s scene. Try silence for 24 hours.
♍ Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22)
Your socks are organized, your spices alphabetized and your breakdown scheduled. You’re the zodiac’s most efficient pain in the ass.
♎ Libra (Sep 23–Oct 22)
You’ll spend 45 minutes choosing a restaurant, then order chicken fingers. The universe is embarrassed.
♏ Scorpio (Oct 23–Nov 21)
You suspect everyone because you’re shady yourself. Accept a compliment without opening a criminal investigation.
♐ Sagittarius (Nov 22–Dec 21)
Your mouth writes checks your intelligence can’t cash. Your sarcasm will backfire, and you’ll blame everyone else.
♑ Capricorn (Dec 22–Jan 19)
You work hard, complain constantly and have the personality of a parking meter. Your boss recommends a permanent vacation.
♒ Aquarius (Jan 20–Feb 18)
You think you’re mysterious and brilliant. Everyone else thinks you’re exhausting. Try one conversation without a conspiracy theory.
♓ Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20)
You live in a fantasy where everyone appreciates your sensitivity. Reality wants its security deposit back.
 
The stars may guide your destiny, but they can’t fix stupid. That’s a full-time job with no benefits.

Monday, September 28, 2026
🎧 THREE GOLF BALLS, ONE HORNY SPIDER & ZERO MOTIVATION
Monday is back, and apparently it brought snakes, horny spiders, rock stars, stupid criminals and a whole truckload of bad decisions with it.
On Pod #8 of DaWack in da Morning, Zack DaWack crawls back behind the microphone at the low-rent, sleazy, double-greasy Ramin Jamin Nut Hut Studios to kick off another week with history, music, celebrity nonsense, stupid news and enough questionable comedy to make responsible adults change the station.
This time around, we've got a snake that swallowed three golf balls, a desperate pet owner trying to get his dying tarantula laid, a 9-year-old who allegedly blew $118,000 on YouTube ads, Wendy's apparently discovering emo music, and a teacher accused of turning burglary into an extracurricular activity.
But wait — there's more crap!
We travel back to Yorktown, revisit the Black Sox scandal, watch Ted Williams hit .406 and later homer in the final at-bat of his career, remember Miles Davis, Coolio, Kris Kristofferson and Harpo Marx, and dig through a monster pile of music history featuring Stevie Wonder, Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, Kate Bush, The Police, Garth Brooks, Tina Turner and George Harrison.
Then it's on to the latest music and showbiz buzz, weird sports rules, reasons pets may be better than partners, celebrity birthdays, and another catastrophically inaccurate visit to the stars with the Monday Horriblescopes.
So grab some coffee, lower your expectations and come waste part of your Monday with us.
No useful information guaranteed. Side effects may include laughter, confusion and explaining to somebody why you were listening to a story about Tarantula Tinder.
