Speaker 2: his patrol car, the deputy became concerned. After searching homes
Speaker 2: in the area and finding nothing, he returned to the
Speaker 2: pup and she led him down a nearbay path. Nearbypath
Speaker 2: to her injured owner in the cabin, he heard the
Speaker 2: elderly man calling for help. In addition to his leg injury,
Speaker 2: the men had been unable to take his essential meds
Speaker 2: for several hours and was an urgent need of care.

Speaker 3: Good on the cop and good on the dog.
Speaker 2: Following massive flooding caused by hurricanea Leen, a dog named
Speaker 2: Athena in Tennessee was found and rescued twenty feet up
Speaker 2: in a tree last Wednesday. The Kingsport Fire Department, along
Speaker 2: with the Murphreysboro Police Department, located Athena in Washington County
Speaker 2: near the Nola Chucky River.
Speaker 4: That's a good river.
Speaker 2: That's a country song, right, Nola Chucky. She was initially
Speaker 2: spotted by police dog canine Ki, who led rescuers to
Speaker 2: the tree. Her handler, Officer Angela Alexander, shared how proud
Speaker 2: she was of her canine partner's action during the rescue.
Speaker 2: You safely down and brought to her owners, who had
Speaker 2: their home swept away and feared their dog had died,
Speaker 2: overjoyed to be reunited with Athena.

Speaker 1: last three or four weeks with Helene, and of course
Speaker 1: now Milton. It is these these dogs are just they
Speaker 1: don't know what to do. The cats and everything else,

Speaker 1: wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2: It yeah, and this one will kind of make you
Speaker 2: go m So. As Hurricane Milton was barreling toward Florida,
Speaker 2: many people, of course evacuating, grabbing their valuables, but one
Speaker 2: person left something behind, their dog. Florida Highway State troopers
Speaker 2: came across a frightening scene just north of Tampa, a
Speaker 2: helpless dog tied to a fence along I seventy five.
Speaker 4: Oh my lord, on not.
Speaker 2: When they found the people they know They found him
Speaker 2: yesterday morning. Floodwaters had already reached his stomach. Oh damn it,
Speaker 2: and it was still several before the hurricane was expected
Speaker 2: to make landfall. The troopers found the defenseless dog, barking
Speaker 2: as the water crept higher. They rescued him in the
Speaker 2: nick of time and on social media said do not
Speaker 2: do this to your pets.
Speaker 4: Please.
Speaker 1: You have to be there has to be a mental
Speaker 1: there has to be something mentally wrong with that person

Speaker 7: work out, So he's now he's going to try his
Speaker 7: hand in filmmaking, and I want to talk. I want
Speaker 7: to talk about trying your hand in filmmaking or being successful.
Speaker 4: But I gotta ask you. Arguably one of the greatest
Speaker 4: magicians ever all the time.
Speaker 7: And the story I get is, you're a South End
Speaker 7: guy and you pack up your car, you drive out
Speaker 7: to California. You say, I gotta get a break somehow,
Speaker 7: and you stand outside Carson's Gate where he comes in
Speaker 7: to do the Tonight show and you do tricks there
Speaker 7: and magic until he noticed you, and he goes, I
Speaker 7: want you to book the guy, and then he winds
Speaker 7: up booking you multi dates in a row and he's
Speaker 7: never done that before. Is there any truth to that?
Speaker 7: Is that just South End?
Speaker 4: Fu?
Speaker 5: There much better stories? Oh you couldn't story?
Speaker 4: Is that just south in folklore?
Speaker 6: I think so?
Speaker 3: Well, some of it's true.
Speaker 6: Okay, I did pack up and drive out to Los Angeles,
Speaker 6: but had I had two weeks work waiting for me.
Speaker 6: When I got nice, I was I was booked to
Speaker 6: do a show that was put on by Bill and
Speaker 6: Milt Larson, the two brothers. These guys are the guys
Speaker 6: that founded the Magic Castle out in Hollywood, California. They
Speaker 6: were both writers and producers in the TV industry, but
Speaker 6: their true love was magic. So once a year they
Speaker 6: would do a big public show in a theater They're
Speaker 6: in LA and they would bring magicians in from all
Speaker 6: over the world. Was a very prestigious show to be on.
Speaker 6: So the year I did it was nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 6: I was twenty one years old. They hired me to
Speaker 6: come out and perform on the It's Magic Show.
Speaker 4: Now, typically.
Speaker 6: One of the acts from the show, because this is
Speaker 6: a two week run they want to sell it out.
Speaker 6: Typically they would get one of the acts on The
Speaker 6: Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 6: Now, the year I did it, the star of the
Speaker 6: show was Aldo Richiardi, great illusionists from Peru. He should
Speaker 6: have been the guy that went on the Tonight Show.
Speaker 6: But they called up the Tonight Show and they said, oh,
Speaker 6: we're doing our It's Magic Show. We want to get
Speaker 6: our big star, Aldo Richiardi, who's this great illusionist from
Speaker 6: Peru on the on the show and the Tonight Show says, oh,
Speaker 6: we just had Doug Henning on last week doing illusions.
Speaker 6: What else do you have? And so now they go, well,
Speaker 6: we got this young kid from Kentucky who does this
Speaker 6: sleight of hand magic with with birds and cards and
Speaker 6: and he just won his first international award in competition.
Speaker 4: Will take him.
Speaker 6: So I get out there and they informed me that
Speaker 6: I'm on the Tonight show. So so this is of
Speaker 6: course every young intertainment dream yes to launched their career
Speaker 6: on Johnny Carson.
Speaker 7: I got to think of the dreams last nightmare. I
Speaker 7: can't imagine the press. No, it is a twenty one
Speaker 7: year old. I can't imagine the pressure.
Speaker 6: But go ahead, Well, but I have to explain even
Speaker 6: though I was young, I was twenty one, I had
Speaker 6: I had a thousand shows under my belt for strangers
Speaker 6: because growing up in Louisville, I worked cheap. I worked
Speaker 6: at clubs all over town.
Speaker 3: For children, whatever you're doing.
Speaker 6: In the summertime, my buddy Matt King and I would
Speaker 6: go down would go down to Cumberland Falls, Kentucky. There
Speaker 6: was a theme park down there called Tombstone Junction Western
Speaker 6: you know, like like Guntown Mountains or Stone. And they
Speaker 6: had gun fights and they had a train and in
Speaker 6: the saloon they had a magic show. And that was
Speaker 6: in max So we were doing three shows a day,
Speaker 6: seven days a week, all summer long. Oh so when
Speaker 6: you when you when we were like nineteen or twenty
Speaker 6: years old. So I spent three summers down there. So
Speaker 6: when you're doing twenty one shows a week, yeah, your
Speaker 6: act really gets smooth, gets good. So I had all
Speaker 6: that under my belt. So by the time I got
Speaker 6: out to LA the act was even though I was young,
Speaker 6: the act muscle memory was in muscle memory. So even
Speaker 6: if you go on a show, you know, as big
Speaker 6: as that, as big as that, your your body just
Speaker 6: sort of goes into muscle memory.
Speaker 7: Exactly when we're talking about cars. In the time you
Speaker 7: did that, there's only three four networks. I mean, that's
Speaker 7: a big deal. That's a lot of pressure network.
Speaker 6: This is before the Fox Network and Lansburg's your real
Speaker 6: name William Lance Burton, Okay, so you got to Yeah,
Speaker 6: I use.
Speaker 5: My real name.
Speaker 6: And the reason I go by my middle name it
Speaker 6: was apparently a family tradition. Yeah, that's my grandfather was
Speaker 6: William Taylor Burton, he went by Taylor.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: My dad was William Jerry Burton. He went by William.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I did say. My father, me and my son, we
Speaker 3: do the same exact thing.
Speaker 6: Every other generation is supposed to go by the middle.
Speaker 4: I got to chase the squirrel and that I want
Speaker 4: to get back to the cars.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, did you ever think about changing into something?
Speaker 1: You riding on your talent, but you're thinking, should I
Speaker 1: need some possess?
Speaker 6: Lance Burton turned out, turns out my mom my dad,

Speaker 6: I said, well, it's twelve minutes. He says, well, you
Speaker 6: can't do twelve minutes on the tonight show, but bring
Speaker 6: the entire act with you to the studios tomorrow for
Speaker 6: the rehearsal. Do the whole thing in rehearsal. We'll figure
Speaker 6: out what you're gonna do on the broadcast. I said, yes, sir,
Speaker 6: I show up the next day, I do the rehearsal.
Speaker 6: After the rehearsal, I'm standing there on the stage talking
Speaker 6: to the stage manager. I see a hand coming towards
Speaker 6: me out of the corner of my eye. So I turn,
Speaker 6: I reach up, I shake the hand, I grab it.
Speaker 2: I look up.
Speaker 6: There's Johnny Carson.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6: So we chatted for just very briefly a minute or two.
Speaker 6: He was very nice, very complimentary. Now you know, he
Speaker 6: was a magician.
Speaker 3: I did not know that drummer before he was a
Speaker 3: stand up comic.
Speaker 6: He was a magician as a teenager.
Speaker 4: I mean, and I do not know that. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Speaker 3: So he's and he is not a slouch.

Speaker 6: watching the rehearsal. Johnny said, let the kid do the
Speaker 6: whole act, the whole twelve minutes. So they put me
Speaker 6: on twelve twelve minutes on the Tonight show, which I

Speaker 7: sold out on. This is still way to get in.
Speaker 5: I mean it's we're sold out. Wow, we are totally
Speaker 5: sold out. Well it's Lance's fault.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, yeah, once again Lance, same the magician.
Speaker 7: Yeah, once again Lance Burton's little magic thing didn't work out,
Speaker 7: so you just try his hands in filmmaking.
Speaker 4: We'll get to that.
Speaker 5: Burton.
Speaker 1: You've been doing this h festival a while, a couple
Speaker 1: of years, sixteen years, sixteen years, sixteen.
Speaker 5: Years to start, seventeenth year.
Speaker 4: Does Louisville.
Speaker 7: Does Louisville need more venues for this? Because I think
Speaker 7: it does. I mean this is something to be grown.
Speaker 8: Well, we haven't use we do it in Muhammad Ali
Speaker 8: and then we just started sports as part of the
Speaker 8: festival and we're at Slucker for that, so we still
Speaker 8: screened films.
Speaker 5: It's Slucker too.
Speaker 3: He's international. So this is all of it. I mean this.
Speaker 8: We've got films from all over the world. And I
Speaker 8: gotta tell you something. We got a film this year
Speaker 8: from China which is literally almost like Sound of Music.
Speaker 5: It's the most wonderful film.
Speaker 8: But the best film in the festivals are Opening Night
Speaker 8: film that's with Lance Burton. Yeah, and it's a magical
Speaker 8: show and oh oh okay, yeah, and he's gonna make
Speaker 8: me younger tonight.
Speaker 6: Really.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to tell you I saw that movie,
Speaker 4: wait to see this.
Speaker 7: I saw that movie. I saw that movie made in China.
Speaker 7: Twenty minutes later I wanted to see it again. All right, Lance,
Speaker 7: burn you got a movie that's in this Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's this movie about Is this who you were just
Speaker 1: talking about?
Speaker 7: I was talking about because the premise of this sounds amazing.
Speaker 7: It's Billy Toppit master magician. Tell people about this film.
Speaker 7: Because here's the thing, Lance, nothing original comes out of
Speaker 7: Hollywood anymore. It seems like they say, hey, we need
Speaker 7: a new movie. Go down to Red Draft Video, rent
Speaker 7: a video.
Speaker 4: Let's redo it. This sounds great.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, this is a thank you. This is an
Speaker 6: independent film. That I produced, and I cast all of
Speaker 6: my friends in it. We shot it in Las Vegas
Speaker 6: on location, so we had a great backdrop for it.
Speaker 6: But the premise of the film is it's a story
Speaker 6: of a magician and his name is Billy Toppit, okay,
Speaker 6: and he's not very successful. He performs at children's birthday parties.
Speaker 6: He's a really good magician. He's working on his career.
Speaker 6: He's pursuing the woman of his dreams and and he
Speaker 6: gets the mob mad at him and they're trying to
Speaker 6: kill him.
Speaker 3: That old story.
Speaker 4: That is great.
Speaker 6: It's a comedy and it's a family film, so you
Speaker 6: can bring your kids, you can watch it with your grandma.
Speaker 6: And there's a lot of magic in it, and I
Speaker 6: try to incorporate a lot of magic performance but also
Speaker 6: using magic tricks as part of the plot to to
Speaker 6: in other words, when when when the bad guys are
Speaker 6: chasing Billy Toppit, Yeah, the big car chase scene, he's
Speaker 6: driving around, Well, what does he do to get away?
Speaker 6: He makes his car invisible, right, So he uses magic
Speaker 6: techniques and and the other thing. And you get to
Speaker 6: you get to see how that unfolds as you watch
Speaker 6: the movie. You're you're in on the secret.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: And the other thing I wanted to do with the
Speaker 6: film is I wanted people, especially kids, to be able
Speaker 6: to watch the film and get interested in magic and
Speaker 6: then go away and be able to perform a simple
Speaker 6: magic trick for their friends. And so you you you
Speaker 6: learn how to do a magic trick as you're watching
Speaker 6: the film.
Speaker 4: So obviously this is probably inspire children somehow along the way.
Speaker 4: You got inspired?
Speaker 7: Yes, and it hooked you, man, It hooked you so
Speaker 7: much you became probably one of the most recognized phases
Speaker 7: when it come You're a master magician?
Speaker 4: Who hooked you?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 4: Gal?
Speaker 6: When I was a kid, Uh, my dad worked at
Speaker 6: the Levy's Building supplies off and Breckinridge. My mom worked
Speaker 6: at the fred Lay plant Hively making potato chips.
Speaker 4: Boy Buddy's Bakery.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, and so so what it was It was
Speaker 6: a Christmas party for all of the Freedo Lay employees.
Speaker 3: That's hilarious.
Speaker 6: That's so so we show up they Now they had
Speaker 6: a guy that worked there at the plant who was
Speaker 6: at that time a salesman and then became sales manager.
Speaker 6: His name was Harry Collins and he was from Glasgow, Kentucky.
Speaker 6: He was a fantastic magician, a brilliant entertainer and magician,
Speaker 6: and he was doing a magic show for the employees.
Speaker 6: He asked for a volunteer from the audience, and I
Speaker 6: was the kid, Wow, that went up on stage five
Speaker 6: years old. He pulled silver dollars out from behind my
Speaker 6: ear and I went, Okay, I'm hooked.
Speaker 4: This is wow.
Speaker 3: All right, now let's get back. How do we go
Speaker 3: to this film festival?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Look, I love movies. I love going to the movies.
Speaker 1: I love sitting in the theater.
Speaker 2: I did that.
Speaker 1: I grew up in the seventies, so they had that
Speaker 1: run of Jaws and Star Wars and King Kong and
Speaker 1: all these great movies, and I was hooked.
Speaker 3: I was in.
Speaker 1: Going to the movies is a little different now because
Speaker 1: some of the best movies and films that are made
Speaker 1: are on Netflix and Prime and Apple is making some
Speaker 1: great movies. They're spending one hundred million dollars on great
Speaker 1: stories and great movies, but they're not in the theater.
Speaker 4: I hated.
Speaker 1: I like going to the theater. How do I get
Speaker 1: to this festival? How do I watch these movies? What's
Speaker 1: the schedule, And how do I get the schedule?
Speaker 5: Well, you can take a street car drive.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, the festival sold out.
Speaker 8: You go to Louisville's International Festival Film dot org and
Speaker 8: the whole festivals right there. But yeah, we're packed already.
Speaker 8: I mean, there may be some more room in there.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure yet. We haven't been over there yet.
Speaker 5: Color Red.
Speaker 7: How difficult is it because you you have the burden
Speaker 7: of command of cutting films? Does it hurt your heart
Speaker 7: because you know that people were coming out wanting to
Speaker 7: get their film and there's only so much room, that's right.
Speaker 7: Does it hurt your heart when you have to do that.
Speaker 8: It's the toughest thing in the world. It's the hardest
Speaker 8: thing in the world. And in the very beginning I
Speaker 8: refuse to cut any film at all. But the more
Speaker 8: fils we got, the more I had to start looking
Speaker 8: at it, picking out the best phones. But I got
Speaker 8: to tell you, I want to go back and talk
Speaker 8: about something else. The reason I got involved in films
Speaker 8: was because my mother was the model for the Columbia
Speaker 8: you know, the girl now, And she was a singer
Speaker 8: and she used to sing all over the house and
Speaker 8: she had a chance to go to hollow I would
Speaker 8: and become an actress.
Speaker 5: And my grandmother didn't believe in all that stuff.
Speaker 8: But we used to come downtown Fourth Street all the
Speaker 8: time to movies.
Speaker 5: He's always dragging my brothers.
Speaker 3: Movie theaters were here.
Speaker 4: Told me the Kentucky Theater. Non stuff.
Speaker 5: God man.
Speaker 8: I used to love to take the street car and
Speaker 8: come down to the movies and we went.
Speaker 5: To a musical line.
Speaker 8: I walked out of that and I said, I know
Speaker 8: what I want to do, and I got involved in it.
Speaker 5: But I wanted to give back to my hometown.
Speaker 8: And I thought I was doing all of these various
Speaker 8: film festivals all over the world. Actually yeah, And then
Speaker 8: I said, you know what Loyal needs a great film festival.
Speaker 4: Great.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So that's why I started. It's just exploded more
Speaker 8: of the story. We need more places to show felms though.
Speaker 7: Yea more of the story. Get your tickets for next year.
Speaker 7: It's a little international film festival.
Speaker 5: That's a good point.
Speaker 7: A sap and real quick, I want to say Lance
