Monday, July 27, 2026 - Available on iHeartRadio It's National Chicken Finger Day, which is just a reminder that some of us never emotionally moved past the kids' menu. But today's show is also tackling some serious South Texas issues alongside the fun and ridiculous—because that's what Monday in the Coastal Bend looks like.
Water Alert: The Nueces River is rising, and officials in Live Oak County are going door-to-door in low-lying neighborhoods near Three Rivers and George West, encouraging folks to prepare. The river could potentially go above 40 feet this week, with emergency crews staged across the county. But here's the silver lining: all this water is great news for our watershed. Choke Canyon is already up thanks to the Frio, and Lake Corpus Christi should see a big increase. We officially passed 20% combined capacity for the first time since December 2024. Stage 3 water restrictions are still in effect, but the water situation is improving.
Mosquito Prevention: After all the rain, mosquitoes are coming. The Health District is giving away free mosquito-prevention kits this week at senior centers—mosquito dunks, insect repellent, and emergency prep materials. Today at Broadmoor and Ethel Eyerly, tomorrow at Garden and Northwest Senior Centers. One per household, first come, first served, walk-up only.
Lottery Madness: Powerball is $633 million tonight, Mega Millions jumps to $800 million tomorrow. Nearly one-and-a-half billion dollars up for grabs this week. And apparently some mathematician claims he's cracked the lottery secret—conveniently available in his new book. Because nothing says "I won" like needing book sales.
House of Rock Celebrates: Downtown Corpus Christi institution House of Rock is celebrating its 21st anniversary tomorrow at 5 p.m. Two decades of supporting original music, local artists, and unforgettable live shows. Congratulations to owner Casey Lain and the team.
Good News: Abigail Seymour walked 485 miles across Spain in her twenties, then at 47 enrolled in law school while raising two kids. Failed the bar twice. Her therapist told her, "Everything you want is on the other side of comfort." She tried again, passed on the third attempt, and at 59 now runs Camino Law, a bilingual women's law firm with seven employees. Named one of North Carolina's 50 Most Influential Women. It's never too late to start over.
Weird Food Trends: Cheez-It and Coors Light created beer cheese crackers with the malty hoppy flavor of Coors but no alcohol. It sounds terrible and amazing at the same time. Welcome to a world where food companies keep asking, "What if we made normal food taste like beer?"
Miracle Treat Day: This Thursday at participating DQ restaurants in Texas, one dollar or more from every Blizzard sold benefits Children's Miracle Network and Driscoll Children's Hospital. New Blizzard flavors include Biscoff Cookie, Mexican-Style Hot Chocolate with ABUELITA, and Strawberry Mango Mochi. I'll be at the Odem DQ—grab a Blizzard and help the kids.
Shark Week Comedy: Discovery's Shark Week is teaching people to "read" shark body language through fins, posture, and movement. My shark body language chart has one entry: Shark nearby = leave. I don't need to know if he's curious or playful. If I see a shark, I'm becoming a speedboat.
BigFrankShow2GO: Where rising rivers meet lottery dreams, good news stories, and shark body language tutorials you don't need—available on iHeartRadio.
