It was a night like any other. I went to YouTube to do my usual perusal of the latest videos. The first thing I see is, “Wait for it…” Intrigued, I clicked on the 49 second long video. It was a small multi-leveled carousel covered in different-sized chocolate birds. I started to play it. Big [...]

Chadwick Benefield — Wed, 22 May 2013 12:00:23 +0000

As we learned from Rip Torn in the movie Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball! If you can dodge traffic, you can dodge a ball." But as we learned from our new WBKR intern, Jordan Roos, you can't dodge a DOZEN balls being launched by the 3rd graders at St. Wendel Catholic School in Wadesville, Indiana. This is brutal! LOL! And you have to watch. Jordan never stood a chance!

To The Class of 2013 by Josh Shipp: The Speech All High School Graduates Should Hear [Video]

Chadwick Benefield — Wed, 22 May 2013 10:00:40 +0000

A classmate of mine vomiting during the ceremony. That's what I remember most about my high school graduation. A fellow Daviess County High School senior, who shall remain nameless, was power-puking during graduation because she had gotten hammered shortly before all the pomp and circumstance began. As soon as I heard the heaving, I was immediately glad that my last name started with a "B" and she was rows and rows back in the latter half of the alphabet! But, I suppose if motivational speaker Josh Shipp had delivered THIS speech in front of the Daviess County High School Class of '89, I would have remembered it the most. This is incredible, honest, funny and, most of all, right on the money. If you know someone in the Class of 2013, someone about to begin their quest to make a mark on the world, make them watch this video!

Oklahoma Tornado Survivor Finds Dog On Live TV [VIDEO]

Jaclyn Graves — Tue, 21 May 2013 18:19:54 +0000

The devastation caused by the tornado yesterday in Oklahoma is heart breaking. I think it's safe to say that we all held our children a little tighter last night and prayed a little harder than normal after watching the terrifying coverage of the storm. We all pray for survivors to be found and for those who lost loved ones to be comforted in this nightmare.

As a television station was interviewing an elderly woman, the unthinkable happened. Just as she was talking about her storm experience with her dog, who she had presumed was gone, the dog peeked his little head from under the rubble of what was once their home.

We watch with hope in our hearts and tears in our eyes that there are many more stories just like this one and that everyone is found safe.

Everyone pops a squat, right? But not everyone gets caught on camera doing it. You have to watch this! This is hilarious. The Daily Hiit offers free, daily workouts online and has dozens and dozens of videos available on the web. But it's THIS one that has proven to be the most popular.

For the last challenge, Donald Trump's finalists, Vegas magician and mastermind Penn Jillette and country music superstar Trace Adkins, had to develop a brand new flavor of ice cream for the new Walgreens DeLish brand.

You can't haze people in college. But we can sure do it here at WBKR! And that's exactly what Jaclyn and I did to our brand new intern, Jordan Roos, a senior at Brescia University. His first day on the job was last Friday, which just so happened to be the first day of the International Bar-B-Q Festival here in Owensboro. Naturally, we invited Jordan along for a crash course in live, on-location broadcasting. Well, watch what happened when we passed Paula Martin's Paintopia booth.

Tim McGraw Addresses Distracted Driving In Latest VIDEO

Jaclyn Graves — Thu, 09 May 2013 16:13:07 +0000

I like to think that I don't drive and text. I like to think that I am a safe driver and keep distractions to a minimal. Truth is, I do sometimes send a quick "I'm on my way" or "LOL" response. I've seen the commercials pleading drivers to not text and drive. I was just behind a teenage girl yesterday and I could tell that she had both hands around the steering-wheel, texting away, driving down Frederica. This is not ok. We MUST STOP driving and texting!

Tim McGraw's latest single "The Highway Don't Care" is a beautiful song, I've loved it every since I heard it for the first time. Tim's video for this song acknowledges the problems with texting and driving and is a must see!

PLEASE watch this video and let's all STOP distracted driving!

Who, as Randy Jackson would say, is really "in it to win it." And who may be missing her ultimate dream by just a single episode. Let's check in with WBKR's American Idol expert, Steve Thompson!

Pistol Annies "Hush Hush" [VIDEO]

Jaclyn Graves — Thu, 09 May 2013 01:57:26 +0000

Just when I think I can't love those crazy girls from the Pistol Annies anymore, there they go releasing the video for their latest single "Hush Hush"! This song is awesome (and Carsyn's latest favorite) and the video is absolutely perfect!

It's set in (what looks like) a country Southern Baptist Church. The girls even have some of their own family members in the video! Oh, how could I forget?!? Ashley Monroe even goes all "Cameron Diaz in every movie she's ever made" and does a little dancin in her panties! Ha!

My New Non-Country Obsession: Emeli Sande [Video]

Chadwick Benefield — Wed, 08 May 2013 13:00:39 +0000

Today on Confessions of a Country Music DJ! I never buy CD's. Seriously, I really don't. The summer I graduated high school I worked at Disc Jockey inside Towne Square Mall and I think I gave just about every paycheck back to Terry Woodward. I used to buy CD's all the time and then, with the advent of ITunes, stopped cold in my tracks. ITunes is to music what Whitman's was to the Sampler, right? But, the other day, I caved and bought my first CD in years. And it wasn't country (insert gasp)! And it's a CD that is setting HUGE records in the UK! It's not even American (insert another gasp)! In fact, Emeli Sande (who is my new non-country obsession and my favorite new Brit) just broke a record that was held by The Beatles for nearly five decades . . .
