The Professional Bull Riders Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour Finals are coming to Corpus Christi this Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Hilliard Center Arena, and we sit down with one of the sport's most compelling figures: 2025 Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour Champion Marcus Mast, who's chasing his second title and his 15th career event win.

An Unlikely Cowboy Story: Marcus Mast didn't grow up in Texas or Wyoming dreaming of riding bulls. He grew up on an Amish dairy farm in Middlebury, Indiana, where bull riding wasn't even on his radar until his brother Nate started sneaking away to events. This isn't your typical cowboy origin story, and Marcus opens up about how that unique background shaped his approach to one of the most dangerous sports in the world.

From 18-Year-Old Rookie to 150+ Career Rides: We take Marcus back to that 18-year-old kid who won his first jackpot in Van Wert, Ohio. Now, with 155 career rides under his belt and knocking on the door of his 15th event win, he reflects on what about the "pro life" would surprise that younger version of himself the most. The journey from dairy farm to professional arena has been anything but conventional.

Rising from a Career-Ending Wreck: In 2023, Marcus went through a massive wreck that many thought would end his career. Now he's in Corpus Christi fighting for his second Velocity Tour title. We ask the tough question: when he's in the chutes and that gate is about to crack, is that history a weight on his shoulders, or is it the fuel that keeps him on for the full eight seconds?

The Mental Game: Marcus has spent time training with the legendary Gary Leffew, who's famous for teaching the mental side of bull riding. For fans who just see a guy holding on for dear life atop 1,800 pounds of muscle, Marcus reveals one mental trick he uses to stay calm when matched up against some of the toughest bulls in the sport.

The Road to Fort Worth: Five riders leaving Corpus Christi this weekend earn berths to the PBR World Finals: Unleash The Beast at Cowtown Coliseum in Fort Worth, May 7-10, with only those riders advancing to the second weekend at Dickies Arena May 14-17 where a World Champion will be crowned. As a veteran leader for the Kansas City Outlaws and a top contender, Marcus discusses what it would mean to his legacy to walk into Fort Worth with that second Velocity Tour buckle on his belt.

What to Expect This Weekend: Over the two-day event, 44 of the sport's top qualifying riders—who've traveled coast to coast competing in 25 events throughout the season—will advance to two full rounds taking on some of the toughest bulls in the sport. After two rounds, the top 10 riders with the highest aggregate scores attempt one final bull for a chance at the event title.

Entertainment Beyond the Arena: After the bull riding action, fans get world-class entertainment: Friday night features country star Carly Pearce, while Saturday brings comedy legend Larry The Cable Guy to the stage.

This conversation captures the grit, determination, and mental toughness required to compete at the highest level of professional bull riding. Marcus Mast's journey from an Amish dairy farm in Indiana to championship bull rider defies every stereotype about the sport—and proves that sometimes the most unlikely paths lead to the greatest stories.

Sometimes the best conversations happen when we stop talking about the news and start talking about us: how we work, what we want, and why we do the weird things we do. Today's show dives into the quirks of modern life, career surprises, and scientific discoveries that feel almost too good to be true.

Work Email Warning: Think that smiley face emoji softens your work emails? New research says it might not be doing what you think. 

Video Games = Career Training? If you've got a teen who loves gaming but has zero interest in coding or engineering, listen up. The FAA is actively recruiting video gamers to become air traffic controllers. 

The Driveway Pause Explained: Ever pull into your driveway and just... sit there? Not scrolling, not texting, just staring through the windshield or listening to one more song? Turns out you're not weird—you're human. 

Life Goals You Don't Actually Want: Someone on Reddit asked a freeing question: "What's a popular life goal you secretly don't want?" The responses were eye-opening. 

Gen Z Chooses Trades Over Desks: There's a major shift happening with younger workers. New research shows 75% associate desk jobs with burnout and instability, and nearly one in four have seriously considered a trade career. 

Taylor Swift, Earth's Ambassador: Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson says if aliens ever made contact, the best person to represent humanity wouldn't be a politician—it'd be Taylor Swift.

Science Validates Cheese & Chocolate: A massive study of over three million people found that eating chocolate, cheese, and fermented dairy could help you live longer. If science says cheese helps keep me alive longer, I just want it noted I would've arrived at this conclusion on my own with enough time.

National 4-H Week Special - Available on iHeartRadio

During National 4-H Week, we sit down with two outstanding young leaders from Live Oak County who embody everything the 4-H program stands for. Camarron Guerrero and Jenna Lee, both seniors at George West High School, share their transformative journey through 4-H and how the organization shaped them into the confident, capable young women they are today.

More Than Animals and Projects: While many people think 4-H is just about livestock shows and agriculture projects, Camarron and Jenna reveal how the program goes far deeper. They discuss the leadership skills, public speaking abilities, community service mindset, and personal confidence they've developed over their years in 4-H, skills that will serve them long after high school.

The 4-H Journey: Both young women reflect on their experiences from their early days in the program through their senior year. They share memorable projects, competitions, and achievements, but also talk about the challenges they faced and how 4-H taught them resilience, responsibility, and teamwork.

Leadership in Action: As seniors, Camarron and Jenna now serve as mentors and role models for younger 4-H members. They discuss what it means to lead by example, how they've learned to guide and encourage others, and why giving back to the program that gave them so much matters. Leadership isn't something they learned about in 4-H: it's something they practice every day.

Life Skills That Last: The conversation explores the practical skills 4-H has taught them: time management, financial literacy through project budgets, record-keeping, goal-setting, and decision-making. These aren't abstract concepts. They're real-world abilities that prepare young people for college, careers, and life beyond their hometown.

Community Connection: Both young women emphasize how 4-H connected them to their community in meaningful ways. Through service projects, county events, and working with local businesses and volunteers, they've built relationships and understanding of how communities function and thrive. 

Their Message to Young People: When asked what they'd tell someone considering joining 4-H, Camarron and Jenna offer genuine, heartfelt advice. They acknowledge that it requires commitment and sometimes stepping outside your comfort zone, but the rewards—friendships, experiences, skills, and personal growth—are worth it. 

The Four H's: Throughout the conversation, we explore how the organization's core values—Head, Heart, Hands, and Health—manifest in real life. It's not just a motto; it's a framework for developing well-rounded young people who think critically, care deeply, work diligently, and live healthfully.

What 4-H Means for Rural Communities: Camarron and Jenna also discuss 4-H's special significance in rural areas like Live Oak County, where the program provides opportunities for youth development that might not otherwise exist. It's a place where every kid can find their niche, discover their passion, and develop skills regardless of their background or interests.

This National 4-H Week conversation celebrates not just an organization, but the young people it empowers and the communities it strengthens. Camarron Guerrero and Jenna Lee are living proof that 4-H's mission isn't just words on paper. It's transformation in action.

Available on iHeartRadio 

This Saturday, the Coastal Bend Heart Walk takes place at Whataburger Field—and it's more than just a walk. It's a powerful movement to fight heart disease and stroke while raising critical funds for the American Heart Association. You can form a team with coworkers, family, or friends, or walk solo. Details at CoastalBendHeartWalk.org.

A Survivor's Story: This week marks six years since Terry Schade had a heart attack that changed his life. In this deeply personal conversation, Terry opens up about ignoring the warning signs, and convincing himself he could power through it. Like many people, he dismissed symptoms that his body was desperately trying to communicate. When he finally sought help, that decision saved his life.

The Reality of Recovery: Terry doesn't sugarcoat his journey. Recovery hasn't been easy, with setbacks and complications along the way. But through lifestyle changes, leaning on his support system, and staying focused on long-term health, he's worked hard to get healthier both physically and mentally. His perspective is clear: every day is a gift, and he doesn't take that lightly.

Turning Experience Into Action: After surviving his heart attack, Terry knew he wanted to give back. He joined the American Heart Association's board of directors, transforming his personal experience into meaningful action. Now he helps others avoid what he went through and supports those still fighting their own battles. It became personal—and that drives everything he does.

Community Leadership: As a Heart Walk water station sponsor and co-chair of Executives with Heart, Terry shows up for his community. The Heart Walk brings together survivors, families, and advocates, and his involvement reflects his commitment to health advocacy. Working alongside other leaders who care deeply about wellness energizes him and expands the impact of the mission.

The Message That Matters Most: Terry's advice to listeners is direct and urgent: Don't wait. He's living proof that early action saves lives. If something feels off, get it checked. Your health isn't just about you—it's about everyone who loves you. Ignoring warning signs isn't toughness; recognizing them and taking action is wisdom.

Why This Walk Matters: Heart disease and stroke remain leading causes of death, but they're often preventable. The Coastal Bend Heart Walk funds research, education, and community programs that save lives. Whether you've been personally affected by heart disease, want to honor a loved one, or simply believe in the cause, this Saturday offers a meaningful way to make a difference.

Terry Schade's story is a powerful reminder that the symptoms we ignore could be our body's last warning. His six-year journey from heart attack victim to health advocate demonstrates that survival is just the beginning—what you do with that second chance defines the rest of your story.

]]>387falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/reverse-alert-how-the-new-regional-alert-system-could-save-your-life--67939219San Patricio County Emergency Management Coordinator and Fire Marshall, Chief Scott Marion, joins us to explain the game-changing Reverse Alert Notification System that's transforming how coastal bend residents receive life-saving emergency information.

Why the Change from Code Red: Chief Marion breaks down why San Patricio County, along with Aransas and Refugio counties, transitioned from Code Red system to the new Reverse Alert platform in September 2025. The old system had significant limitations that left gaps in regional emergency response coordination.

The Regional Advantage: The biggest breakthrough? Alerts that cross county lines. This matters more than you might think. When a refinery incident occurs, chemical plumes don't stop at county borders. When severe weather sweeps through the region, communities need coordinated information, not fragmented messages from four separate systems.

What You Need to Know: We walk through how to register at www.reversealert.org and customize exactly what alerts you want to receive and how you want to receive them: whether that's text, email, or phone calls. You can opt in for your specific county and city, or receive alerts from all four counties depending on where you work, live, and travel.

Real-World Scenarios: Chief Marion discusses the types of emergencies this system addresses: refinery flaring, severe weather events, road closures, natural disasters, and other time-sensitive community safety situations. The system provides instant notifications directly from local officials when every second counts.

Seamless, Unified Protection: Previously, each of the four counties managed their own independent emergency alert systems, creating confusion and communication gaps. The Regional Reverse Alert System consolidates everything into one platform, ensuring consistent messaging and broader coverage across the entire coastal bend region.

Enhanced Functionality: Beyond just crossing county lines, the new system offers upgraded features and more reliable delivery methods compared to the legacy Code Red platform. Chief Marion explains how this technology represents a significant leap forward in emergency management capabilities.

Taking Action: The system only works if you're registered. We discuss the importance of taking five minutes to sign up at reversealert.org—because in an emergency, you can't rely on word-of-mouth or stumbling across information on social media. Direct alerts from emergency management officials could be the difference between safety and danger.

Whether you commute across county lines for work, have family spread across the region, or simply want comprehensive emergency information for the coastal bend, this conversation explains why the new Reverse Alert system is essential for every resident.

The San Patricio County Emergency Management Coordinator and Fire Marshall, Chief Scott Marion, joins us to explain the game-changing Reverse Alert Notification System that's transforming how coastal bend residents...San Patricio County Emergency Management Coordinator and Fire Marshall, Chief Scott Marion, joins us to explain the game-changing Reverse Alert Notification System that's transforming how coastal bend residents receive life-saving emergency information.

Why the Change from Code Red: Chief Marion breaks down why San Patricio County, along with Aransas and Refugio counties, transitioned from Code Red system to the new Reverse Alert platform in September 2025. The old system had significant limitations that left gaps in regional emergency response coordination.

The Regional Advantage: The biggest breakthrough? Alerts that cross county lines. This matters more than you might think. When a refinery incident occurs, chemical plumes don't stop at county borders. When severe weather sweeps through the region, communities need coordinated information, not fragmented messages from four separate systems.

What You Need to Know: We walk through how to register at www.reversealert.org and customize exactly what alerts you want to receive and how you want to receive them: whether that's text, email, or phone calls. You can opt in for your specific county and city, or receive alerts from all four counties depending on where you work, live, and travel.

Club Set: We dive deep into Lynch's club set concept. He explains the creative freedom these smaller shows provide and how the energy differs when you're connecting with fans in a different setting.

The Whataburger Field Experience: Lynch shares his excitement about performing at the unique baseball stadium venue, combining America's pastime with country music. The postgame concert format creates a distinctive experience—fans can catch the Corpus Christi Hooks take on the Wichita Wind Surge at 6:35 PM, then stay for Lynch's performance followed by fireworks.

Supporting First Responders: Thursday's show also serves as First Responders Night, presented by LyondellBasell, with 2,000 fans receiving commemorative jerseys.

Friday, August 29, 2025 - Labor Day Weekend Edition - Available on iHeartRadio

Labor Day Weekend is officially here! It's National Lemon Juice Day, we're 63 days from Halloween, and on this date in 1966, The Beatles played their final concert. Plus, Friday Night Lights kicks off across Texas tonight with a new twist—officials can now remove disruptive spectators without warning, so keep it classy.

NFL Bombshell: The Dallas Cowboys just dropped a massive trade bomb, sending Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round draft picks. This is a franchise-altering move that's got football fans buzzing heading into the weekend.

Cracker Barrel's Logo Disaster: The restaurant chain tried to mess with tradition by ditching their iconic "Old Timer" logo for plain text, and customers revolted so hard that even President Trump chimed in. Stock prices tanked, and within a week they announced they're bringing the Old Timer back. As I said on-air: Cracker Barrel could use a smiley face emoji for a logo and I'd still pull off SPID for that hashbrown casserole.

Local Weekend Highlights: The Corpus Christi IceRays are hosting a Select-A-Seat Open House tomorrow from 11-2 at the American Bank Center with their Red vs. Black scrimmage, player meet-and-greets, and the new Kids Zone. My hometown of Tilden is celebrating the 75th Annual Lions Club Rodeo with free admission all weekend, plus Kevin Fowler and Moe Bandy performing at Saturday's dance.

Community Events: Heroes Weekend at Hurricane Alley offers free admission for first responders, veterans, and active military. Rockport features Biplanes and Breakfast at the airport supporting aviation scholarships, while Bay Area Brewing hosts Jimmy Buffett Day as a flood relief fundraiser for Hill Country families.

Traffic Safety Alert: Starting Tuesday, the US 59/FM 624 intersection in Live Oak County becomes an all-way stop. Law enforcement will be monitoring as drivers adjust to the new traffic pattern designed to reduce crashes.

Hero Story of the Week: In Alabama, referee Joey Shelnutt collapsed during a high school football game, but his best friend and fellow referee Lew Murphy immediately performed CPR on the field, saving his life. Joey had three major heart blockages and is scheduled for bypass surgery, but he's alive today because his friend of 40 years was there when it mattered most. Sometimes the hero isn't scoring touchdowns—it's the guy in stripes.

Tech Warning: Google is urging all 2.5 billion Gmail users to change passwords after hackers used fake sign-in pages. Time to retire that password that's just your dog's name plus "123." Nothing makes you feel more exposed than changing a password, especially when you forget your own "secure" creation a week later.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: You know, I can’t help but get a little fired up today. It’s the first real Friday Night Lights of the season here in Texas. A few games kicked off last night, but tonight…tonight is when it really feels like football season has arrived. For me, football isn’t just about the game itself—it’s about what happens around it. The whole town gathering, the marching band echoing through the stadium, the cheerleaders on the sideline, the families in the stands, and kids running around with footballs behind the bleachers. It’s about community. This year hits even closer to home, because our son is suiting up for 7th grade football. I couldn’t be more excited to watch him take the field. Those memories he’s making are the same ones for all the players, the cheerleaders, the band and they’ll carry those with them forever. So before we head into kickoff tonight, let’s celebrate what makes it all special.

Monday, August 25, 2025 - Available on iHeartRadio

It's National Banana Split Day, giving you the perfect Monday ice cream excuse, and we're just 7 days from Labor Day marking summer's unofficial end. On this date in 1939, The Wizard of Oz was released nationally, and we're celebrating birthdays for JoDee Messina (55) and Billy Ray Cyrus (64).

Major Local Infrastructure News: The desalination vote has been delayed. Two critical agenda items for Corpus Christi's Inner Harbor Water Treatment Campus—our major desalination project—have been pushed from August 26th to September 2nd council meeting. One involves design contracts and costs, the other covers financial agreements with the Texas Water Development Board for low-interest loan funding. Staff say the delay gives council more time to review state regulator responses. This desalination project is huge for our long-term water strategy around affordability, reliability, and sustainability.

Big Renovations: The Ortiz Center at the Port is getting a $17 million facelift. Originally a cotton warehouse when the port opened, it's being refreshed top to bottom and will reopen to the public in January. Meanwhile, Kingsville breaks ground soon on their first new fire station in nearly 70 years—the last one was built in 1955. The new facility will house four emergency vehicles and dramatically cut response times, with completion expected by next September.

Pumpkin Spice vs Texas Taste: It's still summer but pumpkin spice is already invading. DoorDash reveals pumpkin spice isn't Texas's top fall flavor—we prefer pecan. Makes sense: pumpkin spice may be loud, but pecan's got soul. Creamer sales spike 1,400% every fall, but Texas stays true to our roots.

Hero Story: 16-year-old Joshua Gomes saved his entire family when his dad went into cardiac arrest while driving on a Massachusetts highway. Joshua jumped forward, safely stopped the car, and used CPR skills from health class to keep his father alive until paramedics arrived. His dad now has a pacemaker and doesn't remember the incident, but thanks to Joshua's quick thinking, a potential tragedy became a survival story.

A deep dive into the week's biggest Texas stories, plus some surprising entertainment news and personal reflections on nearly three decades in radio.

The Water Crisis Continues: Corpus Christi Water COO Drew Molly announced his resignation this week, departing September 3rd for a Houston leadership position. This marks another significant chapter in our city's ongoing water challenges—from conservation efforts to boil notices to reservoir management. Rather than engaging in social media shouting matches, maybe it's time we step back and actually educate ourselves on these complex issues. 

Texas Political Landscape: The Texas Senate is voting today on congressional redistricting plans designed to be more GOP-friendly, with State Senator Phil King warning it'll be a long day but ultimately up to voters to decide. Meanwhile, Dallas Congressman Colin Allred believes he can become the first Democrat to win statewide office in decades, citing internal polling showing he'd beat Ken Paxton by a narrow margin—though public polls tell a different story.

Billion-Dollar Scandal: Texas's white-tail deer hunting industry has been rocked by a massive illegal breeding investigation. Texas Parks and Wildlife made 14 arrests leading to 1,400 criminal charges after discovering ringleaders allegedly forged reports to smuggle animals around the state, circumventing disease testing and risking Chronic Wasting Disease outbreaks.

Transportation Dreams: The push for passenger rail along the I-35 corridor is gaining new life through a TxDOT working group examining why the Lone Star Rail District failed and how to fix it. Legislative funding attempts died on the House floor during the regular session.

Entertainment Coming to Austin: Mark your calendars for some nostalgic fun—Elizabeth Berkley brings "An Evening with Elizabeth Berkley" to the Paramount Theatre October 9th for Showgirls' 30th anniversary, with behind-the-scenes stories and personal memories. Tickets on sale Friday at 10am. Plus, Macaulay Culkin hits Bass Concert Hall November 29th for a 35th anniversary Home Alone screening—tickets Friday at 11am.

Personal Milestones: Celebrating my 9th wedding anniversary with my amazing wife Addie this  past week—3,285 days of love, laughter, and a marriage like fine wine that gets better with age and occasionally gives her a headache. Also reflecting on National Radio Day and the incredible honor of being inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame last year, sharing my acceptance speech audio from that special night.

Monday, August 18, 2025 - Available on iHeartRadio

It's National Fajita Day, honoring the true heroes—the tortillas that hold it all together! Without them, we'd just be awkwardly eating veggies and meat with our hands and pretending it's totally normal. Plus, with 14 days until Labor Day, we're counting down to when everyone pretends they've always been passionate about not wearing white.

Win Big: iHeartRadio Music Festival trip to Vegas plus $1000 at 9am, 1pm & 5pm! Tonight's Powerball: $605 million!

Local Headlines That Matter: The City of Corpus Christi is looking at water-rate hikes tied to the Mary Rhodes Pipeline capacity boost—changes coming next year. We're also getting a new city logo featuring the new Harbor Bridge instead of the old one, unveiling at this week's city council meeting. Baseball fans, get excited: Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez starts his rehab assignment with the Hooks tomorrow as designated hitter after being out since May 3rd with a hand fracture.

Gen X Wisdom: Skip the motivational quotes today—instead, let's celebrate the truth about Gen X: we still print boarding passes because we survived "Microsoft Word has encountered an error" watching our term papers vanish at 1 AM. We learned technology will betray you at the worst possible moment, which is why we still hit 'Save' every three seconds like a nervous twitch.

Food Fight Results: The bros have spoken and Texas already knew it—Whataburger officially wins as America's best late-night fast food! BroBible ranked it #1 over In-N-Out, Steak 'n Shake, and Jack in the Box. Why? Bigger burgers, better taste, non-disappointing fries, spicy ketchup, and those glorious 2 AM taquitos. USA Today readers also voted Whataburger into the Top 10 best burgers nationally. Remember: nothing good happens after midnight... except Whataburger.

BBQ Blasphemy Alert: Here's news that might burn some brisket—Las Vegas was named America's #1 BBQ city with 107 top-rated spots, supposedly beating Franklin Barbecue in Austin.  Somewhere in Austin, a pitmaster just threw down his tongs in disgust.

America Goes Sober: Americans are putting the brakes on booze—only 54% drink alcohol now, the lowest in 90 years of Gallup polling. Every demographic is cutting back, with two-thirds of 18-34 year-olds thinking even moderate drinking is unhealthy. The next generation is more "Topo Chico and tacos" than "shots and karaoke." Don't worry—us narrow-minded Texans will still find ways to wash down brisket with something stronger than sweet tea.

The Good News: Two California plumbers saved a grandmother's life when she was attacked by a swarm of bees. They caught her before she hit the ground, used a fire extinguisher to drive away the bees, then lured the swarm into their van while enduring dozens of stings until help arrived. Quick thinking literally saved her life.

Today's Headlines & Weather

• National Hawaiian Shirt Day - The one day when everyone's dress code screams "I'm not sure if I'm going to a board meeting or a beach party"
• 81 days left until Daylight Saving Time ends - Because nothing says modern efficiency like changing clocks to trick ourselves into outsmarting the sun
• This Day in History: 1911 - Procter & Gamble introduced Crisco, marking the first time people questioned "Do I bake with it or change my car's oil?"
• Birthday Spotlight: Jennifer Lawrence turns 35
• Storm Watch: Stay informed with StormWatch updates at K99Country.com

LOCAL NEWS THAT MATTERS
Shrimp Scandal Alert! A SeaD Consulting study tested 44 Corpus Christi restaurants and found 57% are NOT serving genuine wild-caught Gulf shrimp despite menu claims. Only 19 restaurants confirmed authentic Gulf shrimp, including:

• Water Street
• U&I Restaurant
• Snoopy's
• Catfish Charlies
• There are more but these were the only one's that I have dined at recently so I thought I would include them. Now I want some Water Street!

Pool Closure Notice The Corpus Christi Natatorium is shut down for the rest of August due to planned upgrades and maintenance. Reopening September 1st. Use Collier Pool or Bill Witt Aquatic Center instead.



Retail Update Claire's at La Palmera Mall is closing as part of nationwide downsizing. The company plans to close over 1,000 stores and is seeking buyers for 800+ other locations.

KENNEDY CENTER HONORS 2025 President Trump announced this year's honorees, including:

• George Strait - The King of Country and Texas icon!
• Sylvester Stallone
• Gloria Gaynor
• KISS
• Michael Crawford (Phantom of the Opera)

WEIRD NEWS ALERT Horned Rabbits in Colorado - Northern Colorado residents are spotting wild rabbits with black "horns and tentacles" growing from their heads. Don't panic! Colorado Parks and Wildlife says it's SPV virus, spread by fleas and ticks. The horn-like growths are benign and disappear once the bunnies' immune systems fight it off. No risk to humans, but maybe don't pet the horned bunnies.

RELATIONSHIP ADVICE Forget Couples Therapy - Try Gossip! New study shows couples who gossip together feel closer, whether talking smack after parties or reliving funny moments. Basically, if you and your partner roll your eyes at the same people, congratulations... you're soulmates.

GOOD NEWS SPOTLIGHT Teachers Get Surprise Support - Hicks Automotive Group and Subaru surprised every teacher at Gloria Hicks Elementary with $500 in school supply funds plus tubs of classroom materials.

It's National Tattoo Removal Day—a special shoutout to all the tattoo artists who've perfected the art of "I told you so" in ink! Here's to those 2 AM decisions that looked cool then but not so much at your job interview.

Alien Alert! An object traveling 135,000 mph is heading straight for Earth, arriving in about 115 days. A Harvard professor thinks it *might* be an alien spacecraft. NASA says it'll pass at a "safe" distance—but safe according to who? That's just enough time to finish Christmas shopping... or build a bunker.

Corpus Christi Making Headlines: Travel + Leisure Magazine just named Corpus Christi "America's next great beach destination," praising our natural wonders, top-tier food scene, and historic sites. This is a sharp contrast to FinanceBuzz calling us the third-most boring city—apparently, we're either the most exciting boring place or the most boring exciting place!

Local Water News: City Council unanimously approved spending up to $169 million for water rights from the Evangeline Groundwater Project in San Patricio County. This could deliver 24 million gallons per day from brackish groundwater—because in South Texas, water is getting to where it is worth more than oil.

Nostalgia Corner: Texas Monthly reminds us that Corpus Christi was THE windsurfing destination in the '80s and '90s. The U.S. Open Windsurfing Regatta at Cole Park drew world champions and TV coverage, but by the late '90s, the sport collapsed—too expensive, too technical, and too hard for beginners. Now a few dedicated locals keep the dream alive while kitesurfing rules the bay.

Country Music Updates: Sad news from Bakersfield—Buck Owens' Crystal Palace, the legendary honky-tonk that's been a country music pilgrimage site for nearly 30 years, will soon close its doors. Meanwhile, Luke Bryan is proving Friday nights aren't just for concerts—they're for family, as he prioritizes his son Bo's high school football games over everything else.

Special Programming:
Friday:  Stand Up To Cancer special featuring Dolly Parton, Sheryl Crow, Jon Pardi, Jelly Roll, and Dan + Shay
Sunday 7pm:  Band Together Texas concert live from Austin with Miranda Lambert, Parker McCollum, Cody Johnson, Ronnie Dunn, Lyle Lovett, and more

It's International Lefthanders Day, and we're celebrating the only people who can use right-handed scissors better than righties while maintaining smudge-free handwriting! Plus, with just 19 days until Labor Day, we're preparing to celebrate hard work by doing absolutely none.

Local Updates That Matter: Starting tomorrow, I-37 detours near the Harbor Bridge in Corpus Christi will test your patience, so plan accordingly. Our water situation remains critical with combined lake levels at just 14.5%, keeping us in Stage 3 restrictions—time to perfect those shorter showers and fix those leaky faucets. On a brighter note, Brewster Street Icehouse opened their newest island location with live music, sunset views, and a playground for the kids.

The End of an Era: AOL is finally pulling the plug on dial-up internet this September 30th. After ruling the internet in 1999 with 18 million subscribers, they're logging off for good—presumably so someone's mom can finally use the phone.

Gen Z vs. Cereal: Are Gen Z cereal killers? Cereal sales have dropped 13% since 2021, and it's not just because they can't wake up before noon. Maybe if we start packaging avocado toast in boxes, we'll see a comeback.

The Labubu Craze: These fang-faced dolls in mystery boxes are America's hottest toy, with crazy resale prices and fake knockoffs everywhere. But sometimes a $20 fake from a truck stop in Pleasanton is worth it for a 6-year-old's smile—because authenticity can't buy happiness.

Surprising Science: Juggling isn't just for clowns—it's a brain workout that boosts neuroplasticity and keeps you sharp. Broccoli might prevent lung disease (but you still have to eat it). And ladies, 98% of women find men who read attractive, so maybe ditch that crypto portfolio discussion for a good book at the coffee shop.

Brain Rot Summer: Forget "Hot Girl Summer" or "Brat Summer"—2025 is officially "Brain Rot Summer." No viral anthems, no clear vibes, just scattered cultural chatter and the mental deterioration from overconsumbing trivial online content. The only six-pack we're working on is in the fridge.

Good News Spotlight: Constable Kevin Lloyd's patience and compassion literally saved a life when he spent over an hour convincing an elderly man to seek medical help. Doctors said he wouldn't have survived another 24 hours—proof that taking time to connect changes everything.

From their debut performance on September 16, 1971 at Mesquite Grove on the Texas A&I University campus (now Texas A&M-Kingsville) to becoming a cornerstone of the South Texas music scene, Sandy's Six Pack left an indelible mark on regional entertainment. Over their 15-year run from 1971 to 1986, the band performed an astounding 2,150 dances across South Texas, entertaining combined crowds of over one million people.

In this intimate conversation, Sandy reflects on the band's journey through the golden era of South Texas dance halls, sharing stories from the road, the evolution of their sound, and what it meant to be part of the fabric of weekend entertainment for countless families and communities. We explore how the band became synonymous with good times and great music, creating memories that have lasted generations.

Sandy also opens up about what it's like to bring the band back together after all these years, the challenges of reuniting longtime friends and musicians, and why they felt compelled to give their fans one last night to remember. This isn't just a comeback—it's a celebration of an era, a tribute to the fans who never forgot, and a chance to say a proper goodbye.

Whether you danced to Sandy's Six Pack back in the day or you're discovering their legacy for the first time, this episode captures the heart and soul of South Texas music culture and the bands that defined it.

Beer Pancakes Are Taking Over TikTok
The latest breakfast trend involves adding beer to pancake batter. Dark beer creates rich flavor while light beer keeps it neutral. Flavored beers add hints of lemon and orange. Don't worry parents - the alcohol evaporates during cooking, so your pancakes won't get a DUI! Because nothing says "balanced breakfast" like flipping a stack that smells like last night's regrets.

Dad Bod Officially Declared Ideal
New study confirms women's ideal body type for men is the "dad bod." Researchers believe high testosterone levels contribute to this physique preference. So fellas, time to swap that gym membership for a family-sized pizza membership - apparently abs are out and "able to devour an entire pizza in one sitting" is what's really turning heads at the beach!]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66892762Tue, 08 Jul 2025 12:18:08 +0000Big FrankToday's Headlines & Weather - Cow Appreciation Day - Moo-ve over other holidays! - 115 days left until Halloween - Start planning those costumes - This Day in History: 1776 - Declaration of Independence first read publicly - Birthday Spotlight:...Today's Headlines & Weather

July 7, 2025 - A Special Episode

In the wake of the devastating July 4th floods that swept through the Texas Hill Country, we dedicate this episode to honoring the lives lost, celebrating the heroes who emerged, and providing vital information for those wanting to help with relief efforts. The numbers are heartbreaking: around 80 confirmed dead, with 68 in Kerr County alone, and search and recovery efforts continuing for those still missing.

But amid the tragedy, we've witnessed incredible stories of resilience and the true spirit of Texans helping Texans.

Stories of Survival and Heroism: We share the harrowing account of Houston brothers Brock and Braeden Davis, who survived 13 hours of rising floodwaters at Camp La Junta. Plus, the remarkable story of Jonathon McComb, the sole survivor of the 2015 Wimberley floods, who has returned as a volunteer with TEXSAR to help with current rescue efforts—proving that sometimes our greatest pain becomes our greatest purpose.

How You Can Help: The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has established the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, with 100% of donations going directly to trusted local organizations. We explain why cash donations are most effective and share the website: communityfoundation.net.

Relief Efforts in Action:

• The Salvation Army Kerrville serves as the Official Partner for Volunteer Coordination at 855 Hayes St. (phone: 830-465-4797)
• HEB's rapid response, including mobile kitchens in Ingram and support across impacted areas
• Kerrville Pets Alive's efforts to rescue and reunite flood-displaced animals (kerrvillepetsalive.com)
• Grape Juice Kerrville's grassroots meal preparation for evacuees and first responders

A Personal Connection: As someone who has vacationed in the Hill Country for years and spent childhood summers at Bear Creek Scout Reservation, this tragedy hits close to home. We discuss what makes this region so special and why its recovery matters to all of us. This episode serves as both a call to action and a testament to the unbreakable spirit of Texas communities. In our darkest hours, we see the brightest examples of human compassion and resilience.

Governor Abbott declared July 6th a "Day of Prayer" for the victims, survivors, and recovery efforts. We continue to pray for the Hill Country and stand ready to help however we can.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66883748Mon, 07 Jul 2025 13:50:39 +0000Big FrankTexas Hill Country Flood Relief: Stories of Tragedy, Heroism, and Hope July 7, 2025 - A Special Episode In the wake of the devastating July 4th floods that swept through the Texas Hill Country, we dedicate this episode to honoring the lives lost,...Texas Hill Country Flood Relief: Stories of Tragedy, Heroism, and Hope

Join us for a great conversation with Keen, ahead of his visit to Corpus Christi on July 2nd. The Houston-born troubadour opens up about returning to the road after stepping back from his relentless touring schedule, sharing what it feels like to reconnect with audiences after decades of living on the highway.

We dive deep into the mystique of the Texas Hill Country that has shaped so much of Keen's storytelling, exploring how the landscape and culture of his adopted home continues to inspire his songwriting. Robert discusses his latest album "Western Chill," revealing the creative process behind this new chapter in his two-decade-plus recording career.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore Keen's role as podcast host for the "Americana Podcast: The 51st State," where he's discovered a new platform for celebrating the genre he helped pioneer.

We also get the inside story behind one of his most beloved songs, "Gringo Honeymoon," and what makes it resonate with fans across generations.

Over the course of 20+ albums and countless live performances, Robert Earl Keen has established himself as nothing short of a living legend. Inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters' Hall of Fame and honored with the Texas A&M Distinguished Alumni Award, Keen has built his reputation by avoiding mainstream trends and staying committed to his craft of telling a good story. A true pioneer of the Americana genre, he continues to engage his legions of die-hard fans from both studio and stage, though perhaps a bit more selectively these days.

This is essential listening for anyone who loves authentic American songwriting, Texas music, or simply a great story told by one of the masters.

Big Frank caught up with bull rider Wyatt Rogers ahead of the event. 

ABOUT WYATT ROGERS: 
Growing up in the sport, son of steer wrestler and team roper, Rogers began his cowboy lifestyle before he even left the crib. Excelling from a young age, Rogers was a multi-time Oklahoma High School bull riding champion before embarking on his professional career.

After making his PBR debut in 2017, Rogers began to hit his stride in 2022, excelling both individually and being signed as a free agent to the Carolina Cowboys for the inaugural season of PBR Teams.

The charismatic Oklahoma native continued to reach new heights in 2023, qualifying for his career-first PBR World Finals, and riding for the regular-season No. 2 Kansas City Outlaws when the bull riding league held its second season.

He repeated those successes in 2024, returning to the World Finals and helping Kansas City to a regular season Teams Championship.

With the 2025 campaign now in full gear, Rogers is determined to not only return to the PBR World Finals, but also win a Velocity Tour Championship in the process.

SHOW NOTES:

INTEL FOR MONDAY MARCH 31ST 2025 . . .
*Today is National Tater Day
*There are 20 days left until Easter
*1932, Ford introduced the V-8 engine
*1995, Selena was murdered her in Corpus
*HBD actor Christopher Walken (82)
*Men's College basketball 4 teams left standing are Duke, Florida, Auburn and Houston...they face off in San Antonio this weekend
*The Jason Statham thriller "A Working Man" topped the box office
*Legendary actor Richard Chamberlain, star of 1980s mini-series The Thorn Birds had died at 90
*And congratulations to my daughter Leighann Franklin. She is on the rowing team at the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!) and her team won gold at the Sarasota 2K beating Univ of Miami, Alabama and others. Yes I'm a proud Dad. I was posting on socials like a crazy Dad this weekend, too.

THREE THINGS TO KNOW . . .
#1 - TxDOT sent word out Friday that a ceremonial ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Harbor Bridge will take place May 10th. It replaces the legendary bridge which has been a part of the Corpus Christi skyline since the 1950s. As far as the bridge opening to traffic, KIII 3 NEWS reports that additional details will be released on when that will take place.

#2 - Great to get rain, but not great to get an increase in mosquitos. Vector Control will start spraying today in Calallen and Annaville, and will spray around the area in the coming days. Make sure you're doing your part to drain any standing water outside, and try those mosquito dunks if you have it ponding up. 

#3 - I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it was 30 years ago today that Selena was murdered. a day that many of us remember. “The Queen of Tejano” music died at the peak of her popularity. At only 23 years old, she became the first female Tejano artist to win a Grammy. I remember driving back from Corpus Christi that day, picking up a paycheck from a radio station I was working for, and then heading back, being on Business 77 between Bishop and Kingsville, turning on to FM 1355 and crossing the rail road tracks and hearing the news reported here on K-99, and then flipped over to KSAB Tejano 99.9. Tragic day. Her music lives on. 

GOOD NEWS STORY . . .
After her truck driver owner passed away, Honey, a 14-year-old yellow lab, was taken in by an Indianapolis nonprofit who are on a mission to give the best possible farewell. Over a hundred volunteers responded to a social media post and Honey was treated to several truck rides, honoring her late owner's memory. She also reunited with the owner's family for her final ride and enjoyed her favorite special treats, surrounded by love in her final days.

Jim calls himself to be an inveterate peregrinator who has traveled for 30 years by dogsled, boat, horse, mule, donkey, plane, ATV, ARGO and by foot around this world. He has climbed the Sierra Madres of Mexico, spiritually "smudged" with the Beaver Cree of Canada's north and traveled the water roads of the Northwest Territories searching for caribou with the Dene first nations people. Jim has learned his tracking skills from the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia, learned to live off the land from the Aboriginal People in the Australian Outback and has "faced his lion" with the proud Masai warriors in Tanzania. Jim has stood, feet on the ground, between the Sudanese Rebel Poachers and the last remaining herds of Central African elephants. He has travelled the Ancient Silk and Salt Roads through Iran, Pakistan, Nepal and China; walked the steppes of Russia, hunted the Gobi Desert and sipped fermented mare's milk with the Mongolian nomads; he has spent nights with our warriors in Afghanistan and shared tears in lament, with his Inuit friends, as they sing of a world rolling over, the old ways passing on, harpoons and seals, polar bears and igloos ... a way of life gone.

Jim's personal hunting experiences include travel to the remotest, wildest and most beautiful reaches of the world. He has hunted in over 45 countries and on six continents, where he has taken more than 350 species. He has attained 88 world records for SCI and over 400 total record book entries, 13 Boone and Crockett (B&C) ALL TIME RECORD BOOK SPECIES taken with muzzleloader and one official world record (muskox) for B&C. During the course of his adventures, he has taken numerous muzzleloading world records, including, Stone's sheep, bison, Roosevelt elk, Shiras moose, muskox, walrus, white-bearded wildebeest, Grant's gazelle, steenbok and many more. He is the first hunter to complete the "NORTH AMERICAN SUPER SLAM" AND "ULTIMATE SLAM" using only a muzzleloader. Jim has written three books and published more than 1,000 adventure articles for the largest outdoor magazines, including American Hunter, Outdoor Life and North American Hunter. He has produced over 50 DVDs and hosts Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures and Jim Shockey's Uncharted on the Outdoor Channel.

Jim has been an award-winning outdoor writer, wildlife photographer/videographer, wilderness guide and outfitter for nearly 30 years. He owns several exclusive outfitting territories in the wild lands of Canada, including the renowned Pacific Rim Guide Territory on Vancouver Island, British Columbia and the famed 12,000-square-mile Rogue River Outfitting in the Yukon Territory. His television productions have won 15 Golden Moose Awards from 2009-2015, and he is accomplished in archery, muzzleloader and rifle. He serves as the Honorary Lieutenant Colonel of 4 Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (4CRPG) Canadian Armed Forces and is a Member International of the Explorer's Club in New York City, and works in production with his entire family-Louise, Eva and Branlin.

Jim was formerly an All-American swimmer in university (combined Biology Psychology major) and then played on the national waterpolo team for six years. Jim participated in both the 1978 and 1982 Aquatic World Championships but did not attend the 1980 Olympics because of the international boycott against Russia. Jim is considered to be one of the world's foremost experts on the Ethnocentric Folk Art forms from Western Canada. Jim dealt in and still collects tribal art, artifacts and antiques, and his collections have appeared several times in Country Living magazine and Century Home magazine.

ABOUT JIM'S DEBUT NOVEL CALL ME HUNTER
"Astoundingly original, relentlessly paced, and purely authentic." -Jack Carr, #1 New York Times...]]>564falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/bill-o-reilly-killing-the-witches--57445241
Killing the Witches revisits one of the most frightening and inexplicable episodes in American history: the events of 1692 and 1693 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. What began as a mysterious affliction of two young girls who suffered violent fits and exhibited strange behavior soon spread to other young women. Rumors of demonic possession and witchcraft consumed Salem. Soon three women were arrested under suspicion of being witches--but as the hysteria spread, more than 200 people were accused. Thirty were found guilty, twenty were executed, and others died in jail or their lives were ruined.

Killing the Witches tells the dramatic history of how the Puritan tradition and the power of early American ministers shaped the origins of the United States, influencing the founding fathers, the American Revolution, and even the Constitutional Convention. The repercussions of Salem continue to the present day, notably in the real-life story behind The Exorcist and in contemporary "witch hunts" driven by social media. The result is a compulsively readable book about good, evil, community panic, and how fear can overwhelm fact and reason.

BILL O'REILLY is a trailblazing TV journalist who has experienced unprecedented success on cable news and in writing eighteen national number-one bestselling nonfiction books. There are more than eighteen million books in the Killing series in print. He lives on Long Island.
