Sysday Uncle Henry's Show here on news Radio seventy ten
w n t M. Thank you so much for listening
to the ulcal Letter Show. I appreciate it bury Bury
very much. And once again here we are together, me

(02:00):
and you, just the two of us here trying to
figure out what is going on? What is going on
in the world around us? My goodness, what's going on? Well,
we've only got a few days left until Christmas. If
I understand calendars correctly. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I miss things.
But I believe we have Christmas coming in a certain

(02:20):
number of days, I think single digits. So I hope
you've made all your preparations or you're able to move
forward with your preparations in time for whatever it is
you might have planned on Christmas. And I hope you
do have things planned for Christmas. If you'd like to
call the on Cleaner Shoe, If there's something you want
to bring up. Maybe there's something in the news you
want to talk about, or maybe something happened in your
life you'd like to share with me and the listeners.

(02:42):
Maybe you've got an issue that you'd like to bring up.
Two five one four seven nine, two seven two three
the telephone number. You can bring up virtually anything, as
long a it's not ass not pornographic or something. Don't ask.
Don't ask for advice on on on human reproduction or
anything like that. No scatological stuff, but any other than that,

(03:03):
whatever you'd like to bring up. Two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now,
before I get into any serious topics, I do want
to share with you that it was quite a magnificent
Friday night. Do you remember Friday night? Do you remember

(03:26):
it was magnificent Friday night Alabama? If I remember correctly
all the way back to Friday, I do believe that
Alabama woped Oklahoma, winning a college football playoff game on
the road. And now Alabama with that victory rolled roll
with that victory. Alabama will move on and play on

(03:50):
New Year's Day at the Rose Bowl against the number
one team in the country. Alabama returning to the Rose
Bowl one hundred years after their appearance there in nineteen
twenty six. Isn't that? Isn't that something? Isn't that amazing?

(04:13):
Alabama returning to the Rose Bowl on that anniversary just
an amazing turn of events. Alabama whooping whooput on an
Oklahoma now on the show Friday. Statistically, if I just
look at the stats, it's very likely you didn't listen Friday,
I can just tell. But I was here. I was

(04:34):
here doing the show, doing the unk claimer show Friday.
I'm contractually obligated to do them things. So I was
in here Friday, and I did make the prediction. I
predicted on the program that Alabama was going to win
that game. I rarely make these kind of predictions, but
I felt very strongly about it, and so I mentioned
several times on the show Friday that I believe that

(04:56):
Alabama was going to beat Oklahoma. Made that prediction, and
then after I got home started watching the game, I
started really worrying about now the team the game was
going to turn out, and also me making that prediction.
I thought, Wow, I'm really gonna not only is Alabama

(05:17):
gonna lose, I'll look even dumber. Many people think I
look dumb all the time. I understand that, but it
all depends on your perspective. But I thought, I'm gonna
look even dumber than I normally do. It's gonna be
I'm gonna have like an extra layer of dumbness when
I do the program Monday. But Alabama coming from behind

(05:39):
in legendary fashion. It will, Yes, it will go down
in Alabama history as a legendary comeback in a playoff game.
With victory over Oklahoma. Just magnificent. What a just a
great Christmas present from many Alabama fans. Now I got
this this mess phoned in. I don't know if this

(06:03):
is sixty eight year old Chris of Wes Locksley or
not that phoned this in, but somebody phoned in some
whistling once. Yes, I'm starting to get whistling voicemails. People
have stopped leaving messages where they discuss politics on my voicemail.
Now they're just whistling. So I just want to share this.

(06:28):
This is after the atam m victory. This was phoned
in after eleven PM. I think if I think they
were still covering the game, if I remember correctly, because
I was still watching some stuff after the game. But
this came in after eleven o'clock Friday night. All right,

(07:44):
you know what? That filled me with joy? Yes, now
it didn't sound like a professional whistler like Fred Lowry,
the professional whistler, but it was good. Thank you you
brought me joy. You brought me joy with your whistling
of that one wonderful, wonderful tune. So I think whoever
that was, I don't know if that was sixty eight
year old Christner, but thank you so much for that.

(08:06):
It brought me joy. And now I've got that in
the permanent Uncle Henry Show audio archives to trot out
when I'm whenever I'm feeling both tremendous love and pride
for the Tide. I can play when I feel pride
for the Tide, and for one I want to annoy
the non Alabama fan, which I know that that does both.

(08:26):
It helps me with my Tide pride in it also
annoys the non Alabama fans. So whoever that was, thank
you for that. I'm going to take a quick look
at traffic weather works from our sponsors, and then I'll
be back with more Uncle Henry Show two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. The telephone number

(08:49):
if there's something you'd like to say or whistle to me.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
HI, this is Jack Tilman, wishing you a very happy
holiday from the Mobile County Sheriff's Department and AM seventy
ten Mobile.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Uncle Henry's Show continuing here on news radio seven ten WNTIM.
It is five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.
I had a caller that was waiting to talk, but
there's no telling what happened to the caller. They might
have who knows. Yeah, I don't want to get into
their business. Dinner might have been ready. I don't know.

(09:59):
Telephone number two five, I have one four seventy nine
two seven two three. That's two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry Diehartmedia
dot com. That's Uncle henriyd iHeartMedia dot com if you
want to see me old fashioned electronic mail message before
I get into any issues or news items or topics.
And I've been extremely irritated as a driver over the

(10:23):
past few years as you get to a red light
or a stop sign, and when it's time to go,
the people in front of you are on their phone
and they don't know that it's time to go, and
they might sit at the red light. When it turns green,
they just sit there. You've heard me talk about this before,
and I've and you may have already heard me discuss

(10:46):
how I'm not I'm just not allowed to honk my horn.
My wife has already said that. That is, there's really
no good reason to honk your horn, so I'm not
allowed to honk a horn. Now, this is in vehicles
during this holiday season of Christmas. I've encountered this behavior

(11:07):
now outside of cars. Now, I've encountered it. While I'm
trying to leave a retail establishment and buy something. I've
found people in checkout lines in front of me, looking
down at their phone, oblivious to the fact that it's

(11:30):
their turn to move up and get checked out or
check themselves out at holiday time. In fact, I saw
somebody today I was in a big box store. I
saw somebody today get passed in the self checkout line

(11:52):
because they were on their phone and they didn't realize
they needed to check themselves out, and people started going
around them. Off your phone, what's going on? Get off
your phone, you know, I guess you know. I've noticed
that more people are using these glasses, these eyeglasses where

(12:13):
they they can I don't know what they're seeing in
their eyeglasses, but I guess we need to start moving
people to that more rapidly, so at least they can
be looking ahead when they're checking whatever they're checking on
their phone. Text messages, pornography, I don't know what they're
looking at, or texted pornography. I don't know what it is.

(12:37):
I guess you need to just go ahead and get
this technology going and make them more affordable so people
can be on so it can be on their glasses.
At least they can be looking ahead and not looking
down and missing out on life as life passes them by.
But that was quite annoying today, getting stuck behind somebody
in a checkout line. That was really who knows what.

(12:58):
I don't know if they were reading, looking at their
shopping list, or you know, gossiping about somebody who knows
two five to one four seven nine two seven two
three the telephone number. There's two five to one four
seven nine two seven two three email address, Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot Com. Uh, funny story today, at least
funny to me. You might not find it funny, it

(13:20):
might even irritate you. But I saw that there's gonna
be a new class of battleship. Our country may build
a new type of upgraded battleship for the Navy, and
it's going to be a They're gonna put Trump's name

(13:40):
on it. Now, they're not talking about naming one battleship
after President Trump. It would be a Trump class battleship.
So any future battleships, it would be a Trump class battleship.
They could put anybody else's name on it, the USS

(14:02):
Standy Simpson, but it would be a it would be
a Trump class battleship. Now immediately brought a smile to
my face just knowing how annoyed people are going to
be by this. It is now getting to the point
where it's almost like the President tries to pick one
thing a day he can do that will annoy the

(14:25):
anti Trump people, whether it's put his name on the
Kennedy Center, put his name on a battleship. But I'm
I am getting I'm getting highly entertained. Now I'm looking
out for it. I'm waiting for what is the daily
thing going to be? All right, let me go to
the folks hellop color. Hi, Hey you are live on

(14:46):
the radio.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Hey did you say you wanted people to come whistle
at you?

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Well? I like whistling. So if you have it, would
you like to whistle a Christmas song or something?

Speaker 7 (14:56):
Yeah, that'd be great.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Let me use my twothous whistlers.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Now this sounds more like a tuba. This is not
what I had in mind. All right, that is that is. Look,
and I appreciate you wanting to be a part of
the program and and wanting to be and I appreciate
your and you know, I appreciate you joining in and
everything that is not I was thinking more of traditional

(15:26):
whistling like Fred Lowry, the the late great Fred Lowry
who had many hit albums where he whistled, and like
the I believe that was sixty eight year old Chris
that called in and whistled some Alabama music for us.
But that I don't I don't really appreciate the the

(15:46):
tuba like sound, like the more whistling sound. So if
you could practice on that, in fact, that may be
something that I might practice over over the Christmas holiday
is trying to learn how to whistle myself at a
late age. Or maybe I can invest in a good
kazoo and figure out how to get one of those
things working. The only musical instrument that I've ever been

(16:11):
able to play successfully was wax paper on a comb.
Maybe I'll do Maybe I'll come back after Christmas and
maybe I can play wax paper on a comb and maybe,
who knows, maybe the ratings can go up, maybe get
a raise from that. All right, let's see, gonna be

(16:34):
taking a time out of here in just Ah. Do
I have a whistler?

Speaker 5 (16:38):
Hello, Color, Uncle Anry. How are you John?

Speaker 3 (16:43):
You are live on the radio. We're about to go
to the brig so you might want to hold on
if you have a big point. But what's on your mind?

Speaker 2 (16:50):
John?

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Well, I just one. I wanted to ask you schedule
for the rest of the next two weeks. I hate
I understand he going on vacation. Yes, you need your
time off, but hopefully you can do as many shows
as possible. If you figured that out yet, Well.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yes I will. I'll be here tomorrow and then I'm
out for the.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
Year, Okay till January fifth. Yes, sir, Okay, okay, Well
look man, this was a short little break, but I
just wanted to tell you Merry Christmas. I hope you
enjoy your holidays. God bless you and can't wait to
hear you in the new year.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Okay, all right, Hey, thank you, John. I appreciate your
phone call. Thank you for wanting to know and in
the new year. One of the things I'd love to
hear you call in and give me your opinion on
what did you think of jd Vance getting endorsed so
soon during the turning Point event over the weekend? That
kind of that was really surprised anyway, Thank you, John.

(17:52):
Back with more after the break.

Speaker 8 (18:00):
Sevent ten season from the City of Mobile and AM
seven ten Mobile.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Uncle Henrich's Show. Thank you for listening to news Radio
seven ten and the Uncle Henrich Show. I'd like to
call the show you can't two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. That's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. So the Trump battleship that I

(18:54):
mentioned before the news break, I just heard in the
news break they're gonna it's gonna be called They're gonna
have the Golden Fleet. This is all, This is just
the trolling level is just we will never see anything
like it again. And that's one thing, you know, I

(19:17):
mentioned right before we went into the break when I
was talking to John about how I was surprised that
Erica Kirk endorsed jd Vance. I wasn't surprised that she
did it. I was surprised at the timing that it
would be so early, so early announcing who the turning
point or she was going to support was jd Vance
for president after Trump. One thing I know you probably

(19:40):
already instinctively understand this, maybe you've already thought about it,
but they're gonna be people that really want that Trump vote,
not just jd Vance, but there are others that are
going to want to get get that Trump vote on
the Republican side. And there's going to be people that

(20:01):
are going to try to act like him. They're going
to try to copy him, they imitate him. And I
think a lot of that is going to be by
trying to troll democrats and leftists. Jd Vance has already
done some of this himself on the X app. Got

(20:22):
a little every now and again, use some strong language
and stuff like that. But just prepare yourself. If you've
got if you've got delicate sensibilities, prepare yourself because some
candidates I think are going to try to act what
they think is Trump like, and what they think is

(20:44):
Trump like may be to really really try to trol
the other side, and they certainly won't be as good
at it as he is. They may even be rougher
and tougher and more vulgar. So just be prepared for that.
People that try to troll the way Trump does and

(21:04):
they don't, quint, I'm not going to quite measure up
to it. Two five three the telephone number. Hello, call her.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Uncle, Henry.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
John. There you are, John.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
Yeah, I'm sorry to call twice. I know that's considered rude,
but I'll make my point real quick.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
That's okay with me.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
Uh. The twenty twenty eight election is already underway, yes,
vance they they're pushing them up so possibly Trump can
run with them as vice president. Rubio's excellent, DeSanto's excellent.
But with the twenty six elections, if the House of

(21:52):
Representatives goes Democrats, they're just going to do impeachment two years,
which will damage the Republican Brandy in January. They're gonna
they're gonna do another government shutdown that's already inevitable, and
probably do several more coming up on the the midterms.

(22:12):
So it's it's starting way early that this isn't a
normal cycle. Trump Trump's already had one term, so there's
different dynamics going on right now. But that's pretty much
what I what I see happening. And of course I'm
a Republican conservative, constitutionist and all that, but they're just

(22:32):
it's gonna be campaigning all next year as if it
was another presidential run and they're gonna throw it. These
people are crazy. I mean, they're gonna do everything they
can to you know, cheat and disperse and just be scandalous.
But that's pretty much twenty eight has already started. We

(22:56):
gotta do twenty six first, but that's pretty much the
way it's look and right now we're just gonna have
to watch it play out.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
I agree with it. I agree with everything you said.
In fact, Ron DeSantis. I think he was just recently
in Israel signing some kind of anti Semitism thing for Florida,
but he did it there in Israel. One reason you
do that is if you're running for president. I mean
I I just he's in it. You're right, there's a

(23:25):
lot of people that really want to be president and uh,
and it's already started.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
And I just hate seeing the Republicans beat each other
up because at least the three I mentioned or for
including are all good guys. You know, if you get
a rhino in there, you know, they can be dismissed
or whatever. But hopefully they can figure it out early
and not have a dirty primary. And you know, you

(23:52):
waste so much money and it puts out a disadvantage.
But the Democrats, they have that problems. Everyone's being primaried
and the progressives are trying to push the moderates you know, out,
but that's not gonna happen in these purple districts. It's
it's very convoluted and complicated, but it's gonna it's gonna

(24:16):
this is gonna be like a cycle the next two
to three years like we've never seen. I agree, So
prepare yourself. Well. Thanks for everything you do, Uncle Henry.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Thanks, thank you very much. John. I appreciate your phone call. Yeah,
it's already started. The thing I'm curious about, as a
voter is what kind of primary will we get from
the Democrats? You may remember they didn't have one. Uh,
they went from Joe Biden was running until it was
obvious that Joe Biden was physically infirmed to the point

(24:52):
that could not run, but instead of any kind of
selection process, that immediately went to the Kamala. I mean,
I'm very curious as to how I don't even know
what a Democrat primary will be like. And there's lots
of evidence going back. You remember that they pretty much

(25:14):
cheated Bernie Sanders to give the nomination to Hillary. When
was the last time the Democrats really had a full
on primary? And so yes, if Republicans have a full
on primary and they get into a knockdown drag out,

(25:37):
even though Republicans don't like to see each other get
beat up, I would rather have Republicans fighting it out
than to have some people in a back room somewhere
pick the nominee and not let the voters really get
into it. So yeah, it'll be unlike anything we've seen,
just like the last several years have been unlike anything

(25:59):
we've ever seen. Let's see, I don't have time to
get into another call really before we go to break.
I don't have time to get into a good, full
on voicemail, but I've got a brief voicemail that came
in over the weekend that i'd like to get to
any of.

Speaker 6 (26:19):
The different from my family to yours. I'd like to
wish you and your new wife a merry Christmas.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Befred, thank you for the merry Christmas. I appreciate that.
Uh sometimes I say marry Christmas. Often you'll hear me
say have a merry Christmas and a blessed Christmas, giving
a double dose of Christ in the salutation, because you
can't go wrong that way at all. So merry Christmas,

(26:51):
have a blessed Christmas. All right, Going to take a
time out for traffic, weather and words from our sponsors,

Coll Henry Show. News Radio seventy ten WNTM. It's five
point fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes. If
you would like to leave me a voicemail, the voicemail
number two five one two one six nineteen seventy six.
That's two five one two one six nineteen seventy six.

(28:43):
Let me go to frequent voicemailer in twenty twenty five,
buford Anna.

Speaker 6 (28:54):
And I don't know if you hunting fish or if
you had to buy a hunting and fishing licensees lately.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Let me stop there just to say that theoretically, I
am opposed to having to get a license to catch
a fish or to hunt something that you're gonna eat.
I do. I can't stand the idea. Now, I'm not

(29:22):
a hunter, but I love to fish. I can't stand
the idea that people have to buy a license to
go and throw a line into the bay and catch
a mullet and take it home clean it need it.
That's disgusting. Now I know that they use the money

(29:45):
allegedly for good causes, I don't know. I'm at a
point now in life where when the government gets money,
even though I know the government does need money to
do stuff, I'm still very skeptical of how they're going
to use it. But on a philosophical standpoint, I hate
the idea that you even have to get permission, some

(30:06):
type of license from the government to do something that's
going to feed you. Are you family? Right back to
the voice, ma'am.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
If you had to buy a hunting and fishing license lately,
my lord, it's down right almost unaffordable for normal people. Now,
Henry Hendry, for me to hunting fish how I want to,
that's to get a Dagon Night endorsement for hauling coyotes,

(30:36):
hunting over bait, fear fishing endorsement. Ain't that much. That's
six dollars.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
But Henry, to.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
Get the licenses I need to hunt how I want
to hunt? And go after what I want to go after.
One hundred and eighty one dollars, Henry, almost two hundred dollars,
my lord, I wonder how much a ticket is for

(31:06):
getting caught without license. I have to find that out
because I might just take my chances in it. And
that's absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Almost two Hey, how much is how much is venison?
How much? How much would it cost to just go
out and buy the victuals instead of hunting them?

Speaker 6 (31:30):
To hunting fish? I mean, my gosh, I mean absolutely ridiculous. Enter, absolutely,
And then I asked if I want to round up
and donate extra? No, you're already getting more than you need,

(31:54):
pleasing me to hunting fish God's creatures.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Wait, the government what you want is asking you if
you want to round up for what the national debt?

Speaker 6 (32:07):
I mean, that's I mean, Henry, I gotta wait till
after Christmas. By daggum hunting fishing license. Absolutely, it's moronic,
is what it is. I remember when it was sixteen dollars, Henry,
sixteen dollars for hunting license, sixteen dollars for fishing license.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
You were covered.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
They done itemize all of it. Whatever bureaucrat came up
with that, I'd like to punch him squareing the dagum nogging,
kick him square in the pocketbook. Anyway, Henry, just that
event a little bit.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
You have a good day, Peaver. Do I do feel
your paint on that? As I mentioned, I'm philosophically opposed
to the idea of you even having to pay to
hunter Fish if you're using it for yourself or your
family's nourishment. Now, I do not, and I do not
endorse or condone nogging punching of bureaucrats. I don't know

(33:13):
that it would do a lot of good based on
what may or may not be in that noggin. But
I do not endorse the punching or the the molestation
of a noggin of a bureaucrat. But kicking someone square
in the pocket book. Figure out how to do that.
Let me know on that pocketbook thing, all right, Look,

(33:36):
gonna take a quick time out for news headlines. We
have news headlines coming up from Fox, and then there's
a little bit more Uncle Henry show here on this

news items that I missed. You might have missed these two,
and I don't know what else. Who knows what else
might get discussed here on the Uncle Henry Show. Here
this Monday before Christmas, just a few few days left,

(36:01):
just a few days left before Christmas. Now, the first
news out of my God is from up in Selma, Alabama. Yes,
up in Selma, Alabama looks like over the weekend or
maybe late last week, some Buddhist monks walked through Selma. Yeah,
some Buddhist monks walked through Selma in a walk for peace.

(36:29):
I don't know why they They didn't walk through Mobile,
they walked through Selma. Let's listen together. I've got the
story from WSFA about the people walking for peace through Selma, Alabama.

Speaker 11 (36:43):
My earlier today, Buddhist monks walked into town, marking a
stop in their twenty three hundred mile cross country voyage.
The purpose of this trying to spread the message of peace.
WSFA twelve news reporter Ivan Alvana was in Selma's with
the community and the monks on what this journey means.

Speaker 12 (37:04):
Well, it was just after eleven am when the walk
four piece stopped through downtown Selma, met by the community
with open arms, greeting them and sharing a meal with them.

Speaker 13 (37:14):
Now is time for us to bring this message to all.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Now you're hearing the boss and I apologize for having
to tell you these things, interrupted and stuff. But we
still haven't figured out how to send video through radio yet.
We're working on it. We hadn't figured it out yet.
This is a monk, and I apologize for not being
able to pronounce properly his name. I think it's Panakara.

(37:40):
I think it's Panakara, is the name of this monk
talking about why they're walking through Selma, getting all these
people excited in Selma us.

Speaker 13 (37:49):
To bring this message to all people, hopefully that they
can awaken it, that everybody will live in peace, harmony
and compassion.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
They've been walking for fifty I like that everybody live
in peace, harmony and compassion. You got that peace, harmony, compassion.

Speaker 12 (38:05):
Five days, sometimes up to twenty eight miles a day,
with different monks hailing from different countries like Vietnam, Laos
and Thailand, trawing people to see them from both near
and far.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
I saw yesterday that the monks are going to be
walking through and walking over the Edmund Pettis Bridge, and
I just I got up this morning and I drove
down here.

Speaker 12 (38:27):
As for the city of Selma, they found out about
the Selma stop just two days ago, which led to
quick city planning, but that didn't stop the community who
are ready and appreciative of the arrival.

Speaker 6 (38:38):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (38:38):
I think is a very delightful thing to see monks.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Sorry, and I'm sure it is. I would be delighted
if I saw some monks this is this is a
child looks to be twelve or under. I'm guessing under twelve,
but you never know these days. This is an average
I guess Alabama, Alabamian child there is delighted by the
monks that are walking for peace.

Speaker 14 (39:09):
I all uh, I think is a very delightful thing
to see monks from different countries, and I hope they
exceed in life.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
The walk for Peace will well, that was nice, you
know what. Anybody that's pushing peace and harmony and compassion good.
I also hope they succeed in pushing peace, harmony, and compassion,
especially toward push it toward anybody that would be mean
toward me. I would like that if you could direct
it to any anybody that would be mean toward me,

(39:43):
please push your peace over there.

Speaker 12 (39:46):
Continue on as the monks are set to spend the
night night at Southside High School before they'll get on
eighty again walk towards Montgomery for their eventual destination of Washington,
d C. Ian Alvano WSFA twelve news.

Speaker 11 (40:01):
The Walk for Peace will continue through Alabama, with the
White House in d C planned as the last.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
So Washington, d C. The last stop for the monks
that are marching for peace. Now as they went through
Selma again, I couldn't show you the pictures because we
still have the temporary restriction of not being able to
show pictures on radio. But they look like that a
big turnout of people and Selma just showing up to
look at monks. I wonder if they get the same

(40:29):
welcome here in Mobile. I would hope, so, I would
hope that the people would show up to see the monks. Well.
I wish them the best. I hope they do have peace,
harmony and compassion breakout everywhere the monks march in our country.
All right, let's see what else can I share with you.
I've got some other news items that I missed. Here

(40:51):
is one. There's the possibility that going to the movie theater, nay,
that activity going out to see a movie at a
movie theater may be making a comeback, according to Fox News,
and this would be led by Generation Z. Let's listen

(41:13):
together as the Fox News reporter tries to convince me
of this happening.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
A new report from Cinema United, the movie theater trade group,
says younger audiences are increasingly choosing theaters over streaming at home.
The organization finds movie going among teens and twenty somethings
row sharply over the past year, outpacing older age groups.
A growing share of gen Z fens now go to
the movies multiple times a year, reversing a pandemic era slump.

(41:40):
Cinema United says the draw is not just the film itself.
Younger audiences say, immersive screens, premium sound, and upgraded concessions
matter most experiences.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
You can't get on the couch.

Speaker 8 (41:52):
Angelo Bivaro, Fox News.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Angelo Bavaro, Fox News, Thank you, Angelo, So gen Z,
the young people are going out more. But if I
remember correctly, over the past twenty to thirty years, at
least the biggest segment of the population that would go
out to movies were young people. And if you look
at the kind of movies they put in movie theaters,

(42:17):
do they put movies in movie theaters that grown ups
would want to see? And what I mean by grown
ups is mature people that are not always wanting to
see superheroes fighting, or people in spaceships with a dog
flying the spaceship. That kind of stuff. I don't want
to see that kind of garbage, but children do. And

(42:38):
that's why it's the children that are going to the
movie theaters. Children and simple minded people. All right, Well, anyway,
look there's more. I've got even more more news items
to get to as the Uncle Henry Show continues. But
first I need to take a break. We need to
hear a traffic report, we need to hear the weather report,
and also from our wonderful sponsors. So let's go head

(43:00):
and take the break and come back with more in
just a moment. Let's take the break, take the break.

Speaker 7 (43:08):
I would like to say, Marry Christmas and a happiness
to everybody. Happy Holidays from D I love Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Guy message deleted.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
The Unkle Henry Show here on News Radio seven ten WNTM.
News headlines are coming up in ten minutes. Before we
get to the news headlines. Got a few more stories
that I missed. You might have missed them too. We
can learn about these stories together. Now. This is about
the state of Alabama's driver's licenses and how there's some

(44:07):
legislation being pre filed that would make changes. Let's learn
together about this. I don't know a lot about this.
We're going to a stepsister station of Fox ten waff
UP in Huntsville. Let's let's listen together. The Alabama legislature
will begin its twenty twenty six session.

Speaker 15 (44:27):
Several lawmakers are already pre filing bills.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (44:30):
One bill is looking to make changes to some Alabamians
driver's licenses. Fort they it's Claudia Pepperhorse joins us live
from the Madison County Service Center and Claudia, if passed.
Those with invisible medical conditions would have a different ex
the next time they visit a service center.

Speaker 15 (44:48):
Yeah, Jonathan, that's exactly right. This bill is looking to
add some sort of universal symbol to the driver's license
or idea of those with an invisible medical condition. The
idea is to alert law enforcement to their condition, even
if they can't see it. How HB sixty six was
filed by state Representative Ontario Tillman, who was a special
education teacher for ten years. He says he's seen firsthand

(45:10):
that many with autism, a brain injury, or even hearing
laws are not able to communicate their condition to others.
He's currently in talks with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency
about what the symbol would be, but says whatever they
decide will be something discreet that will also be recognized
across state lines.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
All right, So that would be my question. And I
don't know about this because I've never worked in any
job that required me to look at people's drivers' licenses.
Is there something some other state has done that we
can just copy? Yeah, if some other state has thought
of this first and done a good job with it,
can we copy them?

Speaker 15 (45:48):
If passed, those with a qualifying condition would visit their
local license department with necessary paperwork to receive the designation
on their ID. However, this would not be mandated.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
I think it's pastime.

Speaker 17 (46:00):
I think that what we need to do is be
able to protect our vulnerable population, and we need to
know and make sure that a person who is, you know,
dealing with this invisible medical condition may not respond in
the manner that a typical person would do. So we
want to make sure that we inform all parties.

Speaker 15 (46:23):
Now, other states have passed similar laws.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Here we go, what do they do?

Speaker 15 (46:27):
Senate Representative Tillman says he's already received a lot of
support from both sides of the aisle. Of course, we'll
keep you updated if that bill passes.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
All right, okay, all right, Well, I wonder if I
can get something put on my driver's license indicating that
I'm grumpy, that I'm not being disrespectful. I don't want
to be. I don't want the police officer to think
I'm being disrespectful. I just want them to know that
I'm generally oriented toward grumpiness. I think it might be genetic,
and I do my best when I'm pulled over, I

(46:56):
do my best. All right? What else? What other news
can I share with you? Oh? How about a fish story?
Here is this from Fox News. A quite a catch.
Quite a catch for a California fisherman.

Speaker 8 (47:14):
A California fisherman may have broken state and world records
by catching at ten and a quarter pound canary rockfish,
twenty six year old A Mendocino County fisherman, Brendan Walsh,
says he caught the fish Tuesday off the coast of Albion,
about one hundred and fifty miles north of San Francisco.
Walsh says the rockfish usually catches aren't generally small and scrawny,

(47:35):
clocking in at about three pounds. He submitted details about
his big catch to both the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife and the International Game Fish Association in Florida,
and after all the info was properly cataloged. Brendan Walsh's
mother fried the rockfish with garlic and butter to eat
on Wednesday. Paul Stevens Fox News.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
You know that had a happy ending, didn't it. They
ate the fish. It's always a happy ending when the fish.
The fish gets eaten. Now, they said the fish. Normally
the guy normally catches this rockfish, and that's usually about
three pounds, but this was like a ten pound rockfish,
setting a record, possibly a world record. It made me
think of croakers because I've probably caught more croakers in

(48:20):
Mobile Bay back in the day when I did fishing
than anything else. I think the biggest croaker ever caught
on record was something like eight or nine pounds. So
if you ever catch a croaker that's that big, make

(48:40):
sure people know about it. Yeah. I know. It's more
exciting and maybe more impressive to catch a giant alligator
or a giant shark or some some like that. But
a croker. It'd be fun to set the world record
for catching the biggest croker of all time. All right
out of time out of time for this edition of
the unc cle Ember Show. I appreciate very much you

(49:02):
listening to it. If you want to listen back to
previous episodes of the Uncle Henry Show, you can find
them on the iHeartRadio app. Just look for Uncle Henry's
show on the iHeartRadio app. And as I've told you
in the past, the iHeartRadio app now is like a
radio where you can set presets. So you can set
a precept for the Uncle Ember Show in the app,

(49:23):
and that way you'll always find the podcast. Or you
can set a preset for WNTM and always find this
radio station whenever you need it. I've got a bunch
of presets in my iHeartRadio app. One of them is
so I can find Alabama football and listen to it
no matter where I am when the game is on.
All right, as I set out of time, I appreciate
you listening to the show very very much. As they

(49:45):
say in Saarland, have a good one, and as they
say in Theodore, take it easy.

Speaker 7 (49:56):
All right Later,
