WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.960 Good morning, Kentucky and and welcome in seven oh five 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:04.960 here Kentucky and is Morning News with Niic Coffee on 3 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.919 News Radio eight forty whas So, the big story nationally 4 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.359 is what took place yesterday in Idaho. Just a tragic 5 00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:16.839 situation where two firefighters our dead. One the latest we 6 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.679 heard was was in surgery and the suspect. 7 00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:22.719 We still don't know who that. 8 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.920 Person is as far as we haven't learned the identity, 9 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:26.679 but we do know that they are there dead as 10 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:31.399 well as for reasons unknown. And the reason doesn't matter. 11 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.079 I'm sure there's going to be a lot of coverage 12 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.679 and interest in what would lead somebody to do such 13 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.159 a thing. However, what has been a little bit of 14 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.399 an adjustment for me is when it comes to just 15 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:45.840 coverage of news and whatnot. Clearly what led this awful 16 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.280 human being to set a fire in rural Idaho and 17 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.799 then know that of course first responders, firefighters were going 18 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:54.960 to be coming because that's what they do, and then 19 00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.039 just waiting as a sniper to take them out. I mean, 20 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.640 there's no explanation, there's no no justification as far as 21 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:03.799 the reason why somebody would do this. We we'll sit 22 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.920 back and say, Okay, that makes sense, so it'll be 23 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.159 covered but doesn't really matter. But again, that person is dead, 24 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.560 and what we don't know is who that person was. 25 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:14.840 But certainly that's a big story we were following, and 26 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.560 if there is any update on it, and really any 27 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.560 development on the story at all, we'll be sure to 28 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.560 let you guys know. Here locally, big story is the 29 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.640 passing of a legend. Eighty nine year old horse trainer, 30 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.719 d Wayne Lucas, passed away on Saturday evening. Churchill Down's 31 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.840 released a press release on Sunday morning to get it 32 00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.239 out there nationally and also just let folks know. Would 33 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.599 imagine there's some that are connected to the horse racing 34 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:39.879 industry that were maybe aware of this before it became 35 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.319 big news yesterday, But yes, eighty nine years old, and 36 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.159 what a legendary career that Dwayne Lucas had. A four 37 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:50.000 time Kentucky Derby winner, had fourteen Triple Crown race wins, 38 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:54.319 twenty Breeders Cup victories, and an all around legend. And 39 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.480 I never had a chance to meet Dwayne Lucas, and 40 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.040 I know that if I did get a chance to 41 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.879 interact with him and meet him, I would feel as 42 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.239 if it was an honor, just because that's the kind 43 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.599 of presence that he had, that's the kind of reputation 44 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.080 that he'd created in this city and of course in 45 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.639 his industry of horse racing. And what stood out to 46 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.159 me is even prior to of course hearing that he'd 47 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.000 become ill in recent weeks and then of course his 48 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.840 passing this weekend, he is discussed when it comes to 49 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.840 horse racing, one because of how successful he's been. 50 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:25.800 He's been doing it a long time as well. But 51 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:26.400 those that have. 52 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.360 Gotten the chance that I did not get to get 53 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.280 to know him and cover him over the years, they 54 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.080 speak highly of him, but not just in a way 55 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.000 of he's great at what he does or he seems 56 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.439 like a fun guy. He was able to leave an 57 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.439 impression on people that certainly stood out, as somebody from 58 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.039 Afar could tell. 59 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:47.240 So. 60 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.159 In fact, the more I. 61 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.719 Hear people discuss Dewayne Lucas, meaning those that have covered 62 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.520 his career in horse racing, my background prior to being 63 00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.960 here was in sports, and obviously you can't you don't 64 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.840 have to be in sports or to even follow horse 65 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.280 racing at all to know who de Waye Lucas is 66 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.039 I wouldn't think, but you'll hear more about him and 67 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.000 what he you know, the impact he left on people 68 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.280 that had nothing to do with the Derby winds that 69 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.879 he had and whatnot. So obviously he left, he left 70 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.319 loved an impact here not only on his his profession 71 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.879 of horse racing, but also just in this community. And 72 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.960 he will certainly be missed. So yeah, eighty nine years 73 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.080 old and a legend he was, and certainly thoughts and 74 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.919 prayers go out to him and his family and and 75 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.439 all those that that that that are dealing with this 76 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.759 in a way that that most aren't meeting, they knew 77 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.919 him and he he had an impact on their life. 78 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.400 So very very very sad news. All right. 79 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.639 So something else we were discussing in the seven in 80 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.120 the six o'clock hour for those that are just now 81 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.000 getting the day started and joining us, there's potentially going 82 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.599 to be parking meters in the Highlands, which this will 83 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.080 be the first time that if you just go and 84 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.680 park on the street on Barchtown Road there in the 85 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.280 Highlands area that you will you will have to pay. 86 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.039 And as you could expect, there's plenty of people in 87 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.800 the area that don't like that, and I do think 88 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.960 it's a legitimate, legitimate gripe if you are a business 89 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.479 owner in the Highlands that yes, although if there's a 90 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.840 parking meter, maybe people won't sit there and park all day. 91 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.840 But also if they know they have to park, people 92 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.759 may easily just say Okay, yeah, I'm going to go 93 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.920 to Frankfort Avenue, because that was mentioned by some of 94 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.720 the residents that opposed the plan, meaning that there are 95 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.759 other areas like Frankfort Avenue that remain meter free. So 96 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.879 apparently there could potentially be if this all if their 97 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.920 plan is successful, meaning they put three hundred and twenty 98 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.240 eight parking meters along Barchtown Road. It's expected to be 99 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.480 complete by June of twenty twenty six. And I just 100 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.959 turned that into remember when parking just used to be free, Well, 101 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:42.680 now I just. 102 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.839 Expect to park, pay to park wherever I go. 103 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:46.759 We talked about other things that just used to be 104 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.000 considered free or at least you know, it was rare 105 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.759 to have to pay for something. Well now it's just 106 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.199 become something. I mean, parking is one of those things. 107 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:55.879 But we had somebody on the talkback feature on the 108 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.439 out radio app that mentioned you can leave the music 109 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.759 play whenever I played it, because it's it's still people 110 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.560 should still be able to hear it. But this is 111 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.079 another one that I hadn't thought about. But it's the 112 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.920 perfect example of something that you used to just would 113 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.040 never think to pay for. Now it's insanely hard to 114 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:11.839 find it for free. 115 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.319 Hey, Nick, when you're talking about things used to be free, 116 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.160 remember when you could actually even get free air. Now 117 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.079 you gotta pay for the air to pup up your tires, 118 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.959 so it's pretty bad. But even air in free, hepe, 119 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:23.000 you guys have a great day. 120 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:24.160 He's right. 121 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.480 I remember I would. I would drive around thinking I 122 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.519 gotta pay No, I'm gonna go find a gas station 123 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.720 that has free air. And then I realized now that 124 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.040 I'll be looking for a long time. In fact, if 125 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.879 my car has a tire that needs air and i'm looking, 126 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.000 by the time I found one for free, my tire 127 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.920 may be completely low. So that's a good It's a 128 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.959 good example of things that used to just you never 129 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.240 would think you'd have to pay for, and now you 130 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:47.959 probably aren't surprised when you find out that you do 131 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.720 have to pay. All right, let's get an update of 132 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.439 traffic and weather, and we have got another update of 133 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.199 sports coming your way in about fifteen minutes. Right here 134 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.480 on there's Radio eight forty WHS. I'm sure a lot 135 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.079 of you, like myself, are interested to see what develops 136 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.959 in the trial going on in Bowling Green in regards 137 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.480 to the Crystal Rogers case. And on Friday afternoon there 138 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.879 was testimony that I believe was as damaging as anything 139 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.360 throughout this trial so far when it comes to the defense. 140 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.279 So we now have a neighbor that provided testimony that 141 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:25.959 Brooks Howke's family was suspiciously moving bags from their trunks 142 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.639 into his basement just days after she had vanished. Sounds 143 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.040 as if they moved vehicles to not only I guess 144 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.600 I'm sure that well I shouldn't say I'm sure. I 145 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:38.800 don't know that for certain, but they were also moving 146 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.399 vehicles to block and kind of hide what it was 147 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.519 they were doing, which, again, according to the testimony, is 148 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.199 that they were moving big bags suspiciously from their trunks 149 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.519 into his basement, which again there's no way to prove it. 150 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.160 But what was in those bags, I'm sure a lot 151 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.240 of folks are of the belief that it was probably 152 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.360 her remains, because again the belief is that she is 153 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.639 she dead, but there's nobody and that has been of 154 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.439 course mentioned quite a bit when it comes to the defense, 155 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.319 because that's their best chance of having a successful outcome 156 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.720 for brooks House here is that despite all the circumstantantial evidence, 157 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.839 and certainly I just don't know how you could look 158 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.680 at what's out there, not only now during this trial, 159 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.079 but even before that. This is ten years old, and 160 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:24.639 I know there's some that may think, well, it could 161 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.000 just be manipulated by the media, that the coverage of 162 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.639 it and the interest level has just made it to 163 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.759 where everybody is the public opinion has already convicted everybody 164 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.240 involved here, And I mean, I don't think that's a 165 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.439 factor for at least I can only speak for myself. 166 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.000 But to me, I mean again, I don't know how 167 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.040 you could come to the conclusion that if you had 168 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.680 to guess who was responsible for this, it would be 169 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.360 those that of course are on trial. But the keyword 170 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.639 there is guess. You got to be able to prove it, 171 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:54.920 or at least you got to be able to prove 172 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.519 it to a jury. So also another piece of testimony 173 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.319 was from a woman named Heather. Heather's snelling. She testified 174 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:06.240 overhearing both Josh Joseph and Stephen Lawson discuss moving a 175 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:10.040 body on the Hauke farm using a skid steer. I mean, 176 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:14.480 that was a pretty pretty big development. So you've got 177 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:20.279 a neighbor mentioning suspicious activity at the house of the Hawkes, 178 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.000 both not only I mean not only Brooks house, but 179 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.160 the neighbor testified that it was Hawke's mother, Rosemary, and 180 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.000 his brother Nick that were at the home after the 181 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.279 disappearance and doing some suspicious stuff as far as moving 182 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:36.440 cars to back trucks, to back trunks of vehicles toward 183 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.279 the basement and carrying bags and clearly just that suspicious 184 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.639 in its own right, but also not only backing the 185 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.799 trunk up, but also moving vehicles to probably try to 186 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.080 hide what it was you were doing as best you could. Also, 187 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.799 the phone of Nick Howk, the brother of Brooks Houk, 188 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.080 who was former law former law enforcement and of course 189 00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.759 has been fired since then and is now listed as 190 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.320 an unindicted co conspirator along with his mother. His his 191 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:08.600 phone was off from July second through the fourth. And 192 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.440 that I mean that that's that's not really proof of anything, 193 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.559 but that's just highly suspicious behavior to just have your 194 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.879 phone off, especially when you've given your I mean, I 195 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.240 don't know what this person's daily activity would be on 196 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.679 said phone, but I feel like if you are somebody 197 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:25.600 that at the time you know is working in law enforcement, 198 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.759 you'd have a tough time doing anything if you just 199 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:28.559 had your phone off. 200 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.440 So again, the evidence. 201 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.000 Is is is there, But again it's not, it's not proof, 202 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.840 and it's just it's it's all circumstantial evidence. So the 203 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.759 defense team for for Brooks, how as you could imagine, 204 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.519 just keeps mentioning that this case stems from media and 205 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.480 family pressure. There's no body, no weapon, no eyewitness, and 206 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.679 their defense as far as the the cell phone pings 207 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.240 that that again aren't aren't aren't. 208 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.480 A good look here for Brooks. 209 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.159 How as far as where his phone was, the defense 210 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.600 claims that it's they those pings reflect Wi Fi connections, 211 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:04.759 not a campground stop, which that's what the prosecution include 212 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:06.480 that that's one of the things they mentioned that that 213 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:08.879 happened that night, is that he stopped at a campground 214 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.120 with one of the lawsons. So we'll see what happens 215 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.159 over the next the next few days, but it's set 216 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.039 to resume today and I think the more testimonies expected. 217 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.080 But this this case itself, the trial, I should say, 218 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.240 it sounds like it was expected to be about ten days. 219 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:25.960 All right, We've got another update of traffic and weather 220 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:27.799 coming your way.

It 236 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:12.919 is Knentucky, this morning news here, our news radio. Wait 237 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.559 forty whas Nick coffee with you. John Alden is alongside 238 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:21.360 and before we get into this reality TV casting director 239 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.200 who's given some tips as far as if you've ever 240 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:26.480 wanted to get past a very competitive field of probably 241 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.200 one hundreds thousands trying to get a spot on these 242 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.360 popular reality shows. 243 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:31.200 She's got some tips. 244 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.159 But first I did want to let you hear Josh 245 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.720 heard a little bit of what he had to say 246 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.200 on Saturday morning, as Tom Jurich was honored by both 247 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:41.039 the University of Louisville and the city the former Louisville 248 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.200 a D. I don't think it's a stretch to say 249 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.039 he was as impactful as anybody in the history of 250 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.320 the University of louisll when it comes to athletics, and 251 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.159 that's not taken away credit from others that have been 252 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.639 impactful as well. But I just don't think how you 253 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:55.879 could argue that when you think of where Louisville athletics 254 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.759 is today and where it was prior to Tom Jurich, 255 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.120 you know, being here as the athletic director, I mean, 256 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.120 he's he has left an impact that from now until 257 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.679 the end of time, the university, the city, and the 258 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.960 athletics department will will benefit from. But Josh Herd is 259 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.159 somebody who's now I think, doing a great job, and 260 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.279 there's real good momentum with you of all athletics right 261 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.879 now where I thought made this the timing of this 262 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.159 almost perfect. But heard also worked for Tom Jorge, and 263 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:23.559 I'm not sure a lot of people know that it 264 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.600 became just a revolving door of interimad and then I 265 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:32.399 mean with Jorge getting fired and then Tyree stepping in, 266 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.120 and then Tyree having that very odd and unusual fallout 267 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.360 with Neolie ben Depouti, and then you had Josh as 268 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.720 the interim and then it looked as if maybe they 269 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.000 were going to have others maybe interviewed for the job, 270 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.279 and maybe they did. But anyways, prior to becoming the 271 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.039 athletic director and before I guess he was at Villanova 272 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:52.759 before he came back to Louisville, Josh Hurt was, but 273 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.080 he also worked for Tom Jurche. And here is a 274 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.519 part of what he had to say during Saturday's ceremony. 275 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.919 Lastly, on a more personal note, I would be remiss 276 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.159 if I did not take a moment to personally and 277 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.639 publicly thank you for all you did for my family 278 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.519 and my career. You gave me my first opportunity in 279 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.440 college athletics. You put up with a lot of mistakes 280 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.759 I made during my ten years working for you. You 281 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:16.519 helped and supported me as I was trying to get 282 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.399 the job at Villanova. So for me and Abbey, thank you. 283 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.279 We'll have more as we roll along this morning, just 284 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.600 from those that were part of the ceremony that I 285 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.759 thought was just really well done and certainly deserve for Tom, 286 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.039 and if he had any doubt about how much he 287 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.159 was appreciated by Louisville fans, I would hope that that 288 00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:37.120 doubt has been removed because certainly a special weekend for 289 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.240 a lot of Louisville fans and as some may as 290 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:44.240 somebody coming from the sports world, where you know, there's fanatics, 291 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:45.879 there's people who it's a big part of their life, 292 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:47.279 it's a big part of their culture. They make such 293 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.679 an emotional investment into being a big time fan and supporter. 294 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.799 I mean that Tom jerg Era was special and then 295 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.440 of course it had an ugly, ugly ending, and that 296 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:00.720 wasn't good for anybody, all right. So this casting director 297 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.279 who's given us the scoop here as far as how 298 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.399 you can how you can end up getting through and 299 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.879 making it on shows like The Bachelor, survivor Big Brother. 300 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.840 What you need to do is figure out which type 301 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.240 you're going to be. And what I mean is the villain, 302 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.679 the sweetheart, the wild cards. So if you go into 303 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:29.279 the auditions and you identify, I guess internally as one 304 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.600 of those, and you really sell that, maybe not as hey, 305 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:36.120 here's why I'll be the great villain, just do it 306 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:39.279 and make it seem natural, because what they try to find, 307 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.960 according to this casting director, is the balance of authenticity 308 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.200 and performance. And I totally think I understand. I think 309 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.440 I understand exactly what that means is that you've got 310 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.320 to be able to kind of turn it up a notch. 311 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.960 Because again, you are on television like reality TV and 312 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.240 documentary TV. I think a lot of people just throw 313 00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.159 them in the same thing. 314 00:14:59.200 --> 00:14:59.519 They're not. 315 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:04.320 Big Brother has producers, Survivor has producers to where they're 316 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.679 building out a cast, and yes, it's average joes who 317 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.399 end up making it on TV and we watch and 318 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:13.000 we're we can relate because maybe this person that's the 319 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.879 favorite and Survivor, he you know, he's a he's a 320 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.879 lawyer like me, or he's a he's a Dennis like 321 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:24.399 my dad or something. But they they don't manufacture drama, 322 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:27.080 but they certainly amp it up a little bit. So 323 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.240 I think if you are somebody that just naturally you're 324 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.759 a good villain or you're a good sweetheart, and you can, 325 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.440 you know, you can have a level of turning that 326 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.399 up when it needs to be turned up for entertainment value. 327 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.200 I feel like that's from what I've read here, that 328 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.000 seems like the way to really stand out. And John, 329 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.600 you you told me you wanted to be on Big Brother, 330 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.519 not Big Brother Survivor Survivor. 331 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:49.320 I'm sorry. I grew up. 332 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.600 I used to watch Survivor with my family, and there 333 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.000 was a point where I decided when I turned eighteen, 334 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.840 I was going to audition for Survivor. But by the 335 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.360 time I got to that age, I no longer had 336 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.039 the interest for I think I just didn't want to 337 00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:02.720 put forth the effort to maybe try to get on 338 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:03.080 the show. 339 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.840 So you're telling me you gave up on your dream. 340 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:06.240 I did. 341 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:07.559 I did give him my dream. 342 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.039 Very sad, very sad to hear that the dream can 343 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.320 can be alive again. 344 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.360 I mean, I don't think I can do, especially now 345 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.240 that you hear the tips and tricks. I don't think 346 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.840 I could find the balance between performance and authenticity. 347 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.320 But you are you we'll talk about it more on 348 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.159 the other side, because I now think I got to 349 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:26.799 get John in front of this casting director for Survivor 350 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:28.320 because he's got to fill out his dream. 351 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:30.639 The dream shouldn't be over. But we'll get to that 352 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:31.279 at a lot more. 353 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.519 As you move along, it's time for another update on 354 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.360 traffic and weather right here on news Radio eight forty 355 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:40.159 WHS seven forty six here Kentucky, Anda's Morning News on 356 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.279 news Radio eight forty whas.

I will say this about John for 359 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:50.480 those who missed it. Just a moment ago, we were 360 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.559 talking about the breakdown from a casting director that was 361 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:55.840 given advice on how you could get through a very 362 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.960 competitive process with reality television making your way onto shows 363 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.159 like The Bachelor, Survivor and Big Brother. I don't think 364 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.640 anybody knows how they would do when it comes to 365 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.599 Survivor and what that is until you're actually out there. 366 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:11.000 But I will say of all the people that I 367 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:16.960 know you are in the small group of friends acquaintances 368 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.000 that I would say I would have some confidence in 369 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:23.359 more than ninety eight percent of the people that I know, So. 370 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:24.119 Why would that be? 371 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.519 Then, I'm just because you are not someone that you're 372 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.119 an old soul things that I think a lot. And 373 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:31.680 I say that knowing you're a lot younger than me. 374 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.640 You I think you would. 375 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.480 You would deal much better than most without just every 376 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.160 day things we have that if you didn't have it, 377 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.240 people will, like myself, would lose their mind. You could, 378 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:44.759 You could not have a cell phone and probably not 379 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.279 notice it. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but you are I 380 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:50.279 think you would deal with the conditions better than most. 381 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:51.039 I'll put it that way. 382 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.519 Yeah, I think that aspect I would do well with. 383 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:55.839 I don't know how I would do with, like, you know, 384 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:58.759 eating certain foods. I am a fairly picky eater for 385 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.720 certain things. Yeah. And then in terms of the like 386 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.000 living on the like the beach or whatever, creating your 387 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.599 own habitat your own shelter, if we did a good 388 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:09.680 job at creating a good one, I could deal with it. 389 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:11.720 But like if we if my team or whoever it 390 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:14.279 might be, wasn't it wasn't full of people who knew 391 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:15.960 how to build that sort of stuff, I might be 392 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:16.799 in trouble there too. 393 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.160 I think you can have the and clearly the survival 394 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:22.519 skills and all that that is that it's a real 395 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.000 value when it comes to competing and Survivor. But I 396 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.400 also think it's not nearly as valuable as a lot 397 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.920 of people first timers on the show expect, because again, 398 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.240 that's more so for just you being able to survive 399 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.000 winning the game. You know, if you have that value 400 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:40.039 and you're good at winning challenges, then clearly you're going 401 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:40.240
