On this Friday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, we recognize and celebrate Cinco de Mayo, which in Spanish means "fifth of May." The holiday originally commemorated the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla. The smaller, Mexican forces were poorly outfitted and won against the much larger, better equipped French army and boosted morale for the Mexicans. Over the years, ‘Cinco de Mayo’ has become a day to celebrate Mexican culture, music, mariachi, dance – baile folklorico, cuisine and heritage around the world. The day became popular in 1980 when many companies, especially beer companies, began promoting the day. Today, 77 WABC Radio is celebrating ‘Cinco de Mayo’ with special guest interviews throughout the day on-air! You won’t want to miss it! In other news of the day, more protests take place around the city following the subway chokehold death incident, podcast host Joe Rogan speaks out regarding President Joe Biden opting out of debates, James Comer appears on Hannity to say that he's confident that documents implicating President Biden, and five Proud Boys involved in January 6th are convicted. Curtis Sliwa, John Catsimatidis, Brian Kilmeade, Bob Unanue, Rob Astorino, Chef Fernando Deso, Dick Jerardi and Dave Barry join the program on this very special day of programming!
