Could you be mine?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It says The Uncle Henry's Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you, Thank you for listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate it very very much.
I want to thank you the listener. I just want
to thank the wonderful sponsors of the program. I'd like
(01:25):
to thank my boss, Ronnie Bludworth and all the other bosses,
all of the people that can tell me what to do,
and there's a long list. I want to thank them all.
Thank you all for allowing me to continue performing the
Uncle Henry Show. Well I say that word. I'm really.
All I'm doing really is just standing here speaking to
you on the microphone. Glad to be back here on
(01:45):
the Uncle Henry Shaw is off for four days last week.
And another thank you. I want to thank Killer Bees
and missus killer Bees for inviting me and my lovely
wife to go see Killer Bees perform at the Grand
Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. We had a wonderful time.
I'd never been to Nashville. Now I've been to Tennessee
(02:08):
like many people have. Tennessee one of the top tourist
spots in our country. A lot of people love Tennessee,
and I've been up there several times. I've just never
been to Nashville. I've been to a lot of other
places up there, but never been to Nashville. Had a wonderful,
wonderful time in Nashville, Tennessee. In fact, working on ninety
(02:29):
five KSJ playing the country music. It almost felt like
I needed to go so that I could learn more
to help me in my job on ninety five KSJ.
So the wife and I we went up there. Before
we went to the Grand Ole Opry to see Killer Bees,
we visited the part of Nashville known as BroadWare Broadway
(02:49):
where they have all these honky tonks and restaurants and bars.
Many are owned by or have the name of country
music stars on the establishments. So we went and saw
the Jelly Roll Bar, and the Kid Rock Bar, and
the John Rich Bar, and the Morgan Wallen Bar and
(03:13):
the Eric Church Bar. Chiefs. We saw all these bars
and many more that I can't even remember, I can't
remember all these different places that we saw up in there.
Now they had the bar. There's a bar called Chiefs
owned by Eric Church that a couple of years ago
country music superstar Morgan Wallen made the news in he
(03:35):
went to the rooftop of that bar and threw a
chair off of the roof and he got charged with
a felony. This was pending in the courts for over
a year. He had to pay a fine and all
this kind of stuff. But it was a big deal
up there when he threw the chair because somebody could
(03:55):
have been hurt. Nobody wants a chair to fall on
top of them from a roof, and he almost hit
some police by accident. So hefty find for Morgan Wallen
and Shelby Mitchell said, when you go to Nashville, please
take a picture in the spot where Morgan Wallen through
the chair. So that was one of the first places
(04:17):
we went when we went to Nashville, was to go
to a crime scene. Yes, we went to a crime scene.
We went up there and they have turned it into
its own tourist attraction. The bar has installed a permanent sign.
There's a plaque there at the roof where Morgan Wallen
(04:42):
through the chair, and the plaque says something to the
effect of you you ain't Morgan Wallen, don't even try it.
So they have the spot marked and a warning not
to try and throw anything off the roof. And I
wanted to get a picture. As Shelby Mitchell told me,
she said, we want you to take a picture there.
So I wanted to get a picture. And there was
(05:03):
a guy standing there that just would not move. He
just stood there and he stood there, and I thought,
I wonder if this guy's ever going to move, And
finally I went up and talked to him. Turns out
that the guy works for the bar chiefs. His name
was Jay, and he said that it was his job.
(05:24):
He had to stand there all day long guarding the
spot to make sure that tourists didn't throw things off
the roof. So that's a So the Morgan Walling incident
has created a few jobs now, it's been a drain
on the well. I don't know if it's been a
(05:44):
drain on the business chiefs because I don't know that
we would have gone in there. We wouldn't have gone
in there if we hadn't had the reason to see
where the chair was thrown, and they created a drink
called the Chair that they sell up there. They have
the Chair drink that you can purchase, so they're making
money off of it. And there's somebody that's all. This
(06:07):
is capitalism for you. They're they're selling a drink about
the crime, and they have somebody that's making he's he's
making an hourly wage standing there preventing people from copying
the crime. So capitalism at its finest. And we talked
(06:28):
to the guy Jay. Jay was very nice. He said
that people try. People end up having a few too
many and they try to stand up on the side
of the roof, and so it's they do have to
police it a little bit more now that the chair
was thrown. So that was educational for me, getting an
economics lesson capitalism lesson up there. But enjoyed seeing all
of that, just had a great time and then visiting
(06:54):
the Grand Old Opry. It was quite a night at
the Grand Old Opry. We've got one of my favorite
country songs of all time is George Jones he Stopped
Loving Her Today. I don't know if you remember that one,
but it was one of the it's considered one of
the top country songs of all time. George Jones he
Stopped Loving Her Today. I think it was released in
(07:16):
the eighties, nineteen eighties. Now George Jones is no longer
alive to perform the song at the Grand Old Opry.
But the night we went to see Killer Bees the artists,
Stephen Curtis Chapman was there. Stephen Curtis Chapman, renowned for
(07:41):
his Christian music, he performed the George Jones song. I
did not expect to have one of my favorite country
music songs performed there, but there was Stephen Curtis Chapman
performing he Stopped Loving Her Today at the Grand Old Opry.
And the reason he did it is that Stephen Curtis
Chapman explained that when he was a young man, he
(08:05):
used to perform at opry Land, and he said that
Roy Acuff went over to opry Land and saw him
singing and invited him to come over the Grand Old
Opry at age like eighteen and perform that song. And
he said he went over to the Grand Old Opry
at age eighteen to perform he Stopped Loving Her Today.
(08:29):
Back then it was a hit, and he said that
he forgot the words. When he had that opportunity at
age eighteen, he forgot the words, and so he wanted
to make sure they actually came back and performed the
song correctly and knew all the words. So I got
to see I got to see one of my favorite
(08:50):
songs there performed, had a wonderful time. I have a
little bit more on this when we come back from
the break. Let's take the break Uncle Henry's Show, Uncle
(09:16):
Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM. It's five twenty.
We have news headlines coming up in ten minutes from
Fox ten and from Fox Radio National News. And the
last segment of the show was telling you what I
did when I was on vacation and went up to Nashville.
Was invited by Killer Bees and Missus Bees to go
and see Killer Bees perform at the Grand Old Opry.
(09:43):
And in the middle of the Opry experience, at intermission,
Killer Bees and his wife invited my wife and I
to come backstage and spend the rest of the time backstage,
and he gave us a wonderful backstage tour. If you're
interested in that kind of stuff, you can go to
the Uncle Henry Show. Facebook page and look and see
the video. Killer Bees did about a nine minute video
(10:05):
for the Uncle Henry showed giving us a tour backstage.
A lot of fun. To me, the most interesting thing
about it was how all of the performers that were there,
Killer Bees, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Michael Ray, Connor Smith, Morgan Wade,
(10:25):
the Cody Norris, bluegrass group Breeland, all these different country
music artists, they all acted just they they were all
acting like kids, like they were so delighted. They were
all so delighted to be there, so grateful to be there.
They just I guess the history of it really intoxicates
(10:47):
these people, but they were just I've never seen such
a happy group of people as were the people that
are that were happy back there at that grand old opry,
All the people that were all the people that were
perform we're all meeting up with each other backstage and
exchanging pictures and greetings and trying to get together with
each other in the future. It's just tremendous fun to
(11:09):
see all that kind of stuff. And just again, gratitude
to Killer Bees and missus Killer Bees for inviting us
up there. Now, before I tell you anything, else and
I've got I only have a little bit more left
to tell you about the trip up there in Nashville.
I do have a caller, Hellove, caller.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Hey, Henry, how you doing today?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I'm doing good as this Stevey.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Sir is Steve on my hands free device, so I
might sound him funny.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
No you sound just find Steve. Steve, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Oh? I just.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I'm loving the Tennessee story. I enjoyed going up to
Tennessee on vacation with my wife a lot, and aside
from the college football team, it's a really good place
to to to to go vacation, especially around like the
Pigeon Forge and in uh Severeville area. You know that Severeville,
(12:10):
Tennessee has the single largest knife shop in the world.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Really, it's called.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Smoking Yes, it's called Smoking Mountain Knife Works. And it's
like a it's like a three to three or four
story I think it's a three story, very large story.
Almost takes up a whole city block. It's this uh
but it's it's like for a night guy. It's it's
just it's a wonderland. It's just like a kid in
a candy store for for a night guy. But you
(12:39):
go in there and spend hours looking around and not
seeing nearly all of it. But that's that's one thing.
But the other part about it is is that in
a place called Clinton, Tennessee, and me and my wife
did this, uh not this past fourth of July, but
the fourth fourth of July before that. They do the
anvil shoot up there. That's where they take one anvil
(13:01):
and turn it upside down, fill it with gunpowder, stick
another anvil on top of it, and a fuse in there,
and they blow that anvil fifty hundred feet in the air.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Now, that is something I would never have thought to
do that. I wonder who thought to do that the
first time.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Well, apparently it's been going on for a long long time.
It's kind of like, you know, the old hill billy's
answer to fireworks, back before fireworks were a thing. Yes,
and apparently they've been doing that for many, many years.
And they do that every fourth of July. They'll shoot
that anvelope in the air about you know, every every
(13:41):
hour on the hour, they'll they'll do another one. And
they have like old period costumes and old muskets and
stuff that you can see. They got the bluegrass music
and the Buck dancers and just it's just a real
Americana festival and celebration. And uh they even had an
(14:03):
aide Lincoln impersonator that looked really really good with his
wife that looked just like Mary Todd Lincoln, and uh,
they were roaming around and it's really a really if
you want to do something for the Fourth of July
out of the ordinary and you feel like getting on
the road or something. Man, me and my wife we
had a blast up there. It was literally I mean,
(14:25):
you know, no fun intended, but it was a really
good time for for you know people, people with a
few years on them kids probably wouldn't enjoy it except
the thing blowing up, but uh, you know, and they
had forging demonstrations and it's a it's at the Museum
of Appalachia up in Clinton, Tennessee, which is just a
(14:46):
good tourist attraction to go see it on a on
a regular day, but on the fourth of July the
real party.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Well, Steve, thank you for telling me about that. That
is that is I just Tennessee has a lot to offer,
you said, other than their football team. They got a wonderful,
wonderful setup for tourism up there.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yes, sir, they do, Yes, sir, they do. And I'm
still playing on getting by there to do a show
which you saw.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Very good. Hey, let me know. I'm I'm ready to
talk knives with you, Okay, buddy, we sure will.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Man, and uh uh keep watching my videos, man.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Appreciate it, very very good. Make it stick. I believe
it's the channel there on YouTube that's Steve knife throwing,
Steve here on the unk Leander Show two five, one
four seven nine two three the telephone number here on
the unk Gleandar Show. Yes. In terms of tourism and
going to Nashville just as a tourist, one of the
(15:47):
things that I enjoyed the most. I did not I
don't believe I saw any police at all when I
was there, But at the same time, quite a perception
of safety. Now it may not have been safe. I
might have been in danger, but I never would have
(16:10):
known it. I felt there was a tremendous perception of
safety in the tourist areas. Now, I didn't go off
out of a tourist area. I stayed where the tourists
were supposed to stay, but quite a wonderful perception of
safety there and lots of I'd say there were half
of the people I ran into reminded me of anybody
(16:33):
you'd see in Mobile, Alabama. Half the people reminded me
of the folks from home. And the other half of
the people that I met did not seem to speak English.
There was a little bit of a divide there. There
was a little bit of a divide there with the
English speaking and the non English speaking. Now, let's see,
(16:58):
do I have time. There was one more thing I
wanted to share with you, and I don't know that
I've got time. Well, I'll try. I met a panhandler. Yes,
on Broadway in Nashville. I met a panhandler and he
said when I walked up to him, he said, you
(17:19):
look like a mayor from a TV show. You look
like a small town mayor from a TV show. Oh,
don't have time. I'll share with you what he said
to me, and then get into other things when we
come back from the news. We have news headlines coming up,
and then more Uncle Henry's show. By the way, if
you missed last week's shows, they are now available as podcasts.
(17:46):
You can find those shows on the iHeartRadio app Right now.
(18:09):
Uncle Henry Show. It is five thirty five back on
the radio again after taking off most of last week
going up to Nashville with Killer Bees to see Killer
Bees perform at the Grand Old Opry. If you want
to see any of the pictures and the video, you
(18:29):
can find them on the Uncle Henry Show Facebook page. Now,
when I was in Nashville on Broadway where all the
country music stars have their bars, my wife and I
encountered a panhandler that as soon as I walked up
(18:50):
on the guy, he said, you look like a small
town mayor on TV. And so I whipped out my
smartphone to to record what the man had to say
about me.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Now you from Broadway in.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Tennise and on Nashville. Now you told me I look
like somebody.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
He looks like the mirror I'll come Junkinville, and he
looks like an honest mirror. He don't shuck and jive
no one. He means business and take care of everybody.
He's so cool, he's going he can sell a man slive,
he can steal a fly off of man's ass.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Bad word. I mean, I looked like I was from
a TV show. What's Yes?
Speaker 6 (19:34):
He was a pedacle Junction. You know he looks good
Petigal Junction.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It all right. So a man told me that I
looked like I belonged on Petticoat Junction, which was, you know,
when you're in a strange environment. I don't know about you,
but I do want to feel confident about myself and
know that I'm presenting myself in a good way when
I'm in a specially when I'm in a new environment.
(20:02):
And so to have a man on the street tell
me that I look like I belong on Petticoat Junction.
As the mayor of a small town, I just I
took that as one of the most wonderful compliments. I
just I was floating on air for the rest of
the day having been told that I look like I
belong on the TV show Petticoat Junction. So, and if
(20:28):
you're unfamiliar with Petticoat Junction, many episodes on YouTube too.
If you wonder what good TV is, you can find
some Petticoat Junction on YouTube and find out what the
man was talking about. And yes, I did tip the
man for his compliment. I have to say, we have
panhandlers a mobile not as entertaining. This guy, and maybe
(20:51):
you have to work your way up to Nashville, but
not as entertaining as the guy in Nashville. I was
more than willing to slip a few bucks to this guy,
especially with that kind of a compliment. But again, wonderful
time at a wonderful time up there. And if you
want to see all the pictures in the video Uncle
Henry Show Facebook page and a couple of the videos
(21:13):
up on my X account. If you are on the
X app, look for Uncle Henry on X and you
can find the videos there now. Last week on the
Uncle Henry Show, while I was gone, I did have
three interviews that aired. Interviewed Eric bump Overstreet, who last
Friday was going to raise money for Ryan's refuge by
(21:36):
going out and living with the homeless for a month now.
I've not been following it on Facebook, but my wife
has been following it, and some of the stuff she'd
show showed me has been pretty interesting, the way that
the homeless are treated, both good and bad in the
(21:57):
Mobile area. Look for Eric bump Overstreet on Facebook if
you're interested in watching him live with the homeless for
a month. He's already been. He's been raising some good
money for Ryan's refuge doing this so again, Eric, if
you want to hear that episode, you can find that
show on the iHeartRadio app. Look for Uncle Henry Show
(22:19):
on the iHeartRadio app and you'll find the Eric bump
Overstreet Show. You'll also find the interview I did with
mobile mayoral candidate Paul Prime. That Paul Prime interview is
now available as a podcast, and also the interview I
did with Spiro Serragattis, who is a mobile mayoral candidate,
(22:42):
that's also available as a podcast. So if you want
to hear all those interviews, you can go to the
iHeartRadio app look up Uncle Henry Show. You can find
him there, or you can go to NewsRadio seven ten
dot com and look under podcasts for those interviews. And
as I mentioned Thursday, I've had Paul Prine and Spiro
(23:07):
come in for interviews, enjoyed the experience, enjoyed learning more
about them. I have emails out to the female candidates
and open invitations to them. I have not heard anything
from their campaigns. I just want them to know that
they are more than welcome to come in and also
get interviewed in a similar way to Paul Prime and
(23:32):
Spiro Chargatdas two five to one four seven nine two
seven two three. The telephone number to reach the Uncleander
Show two five to one four seven nine two seven
two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now,
I do have some voicemails that have stacked up from
my week out of town.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Here is a call that came in last week while
I was in Nashville.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I wanted to Uncle Henry, Well, it's gonna give me
good afternoon if this message gets played.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Yes, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
My question is do you think that the United States,
this country is headed maybe for another housing bubble? I
don't know any other way to put that. And the
reason I asked, housing has had a tremendous increase over
the last few years.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Yeah. By the way, I have many of us have
noticed this.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Around my area, Dolls Road area. They're building a couple
of new neighborhoods, and honestly, the Adams Company neighborhood looks
like the old old style row houses. There's just a
big loop was I don't know, two hundred houses. Maybe
they all look the same. They have no personality. The
(24:54):
neighborhood has no personality. It really looks like government from
the old days, And just kind of curious because I
spoke to a real estate friend of mine who says,
those houses are going for two hundred and seventy three
thousand dollars and something. The old school payment plan may
(25:17):
be coming back. They felt like, because your first year's
note is kind of low, your second year note bumps
up a little bit, and the third year you feel
the full effect of your note. Now to me this
at one time, I think we did this in America.
It pretty much set people up for failure. And are
(25:38):
we doing that again in two or three years? Are
we going to be faith with another housing I don't know, collapse.
You know, all these mortgage companies, these home builders are saying,
come on, everybody, come get your house. Well, you know,
in three years or the mortgage company's gonna come back
and get those houses. Just kind of curious, that's the
(25:59):
thought of my real estate buddy, And he doesn't see
how this could be sustainable. Brand new houses popping up
everywhere for outrageous pricing, and just kind of a concern.
Don't know why I'm concerned because, well, I guess because
it's gonna hurt your economy. If it does, if that
does happen, But just my fault for today, off for Henry.
Speaker 8 (26:22):
I'm kind of riding around out here.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
My mind's going, you know, just wheels are turning.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Everybody, have a good one.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Thank you very much for your voice, ma'am maryan the
And it's nice that you've got wheels in your head turning,
because there's a lot of times I'll be driving around
and there's not much up in my head and I'm
worried about it. I do. I get worried about the
vacancy in my head, the excessive space in there.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I don't have a I'm not uh, I'm not an
expert on this topic. So I don't know that I
can shed any any good insight for you here, other
than I know that in my life I asked real
estate shows that I was doing a few months ago
that I have no by the way I've noticed what
you've seen, I've been I've been kind of shocked myself
at what some houses have gone for in many different
(27:12):
neighborhoods of Mobile But over the last year or so,
I don't know that they have skyrocketed in value the
way they did the previous years.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I don't I don't know what to tell you about it.
On a national level. I know that on the local level,
our economy is good, and I would not be fearful. Again,
I'm not an expert. I just I would not be
fearful here on the Gulf Coast of things losing dramatically
(27:45):
their value. But again I ain't an expert. Uncle Henry
(28:07):
Show News Radio seven ten WNTM. It is five fifty
news headlines coming up in ten minutes and then more.
Uncle Henry Show on the way for you. Telephone number
if you'd like to call in two five to one
four seven nine two seven two three. That's two five
(28:28):
one four seven nine two seventy two three. Email address
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle Henry at
iHeartMedia dot com. Now mentioned to you that I had
some voicemail stack up from when I was out of town.
Let me check another message. Last message we checked was
about home prices going way way up.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
Let's see what this message is about this, Henry, I
ain't forgot about the turtle cooking show.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
Just ain't had no look catching turtles.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
However, I spied a soft shell turtle hanging around my
dock today, So Henry, hopefully I can catch him up.
And I will also call the h Alabama Game Warden
people to make sure it is legal for me to catch, cook, and.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Clean a soft shell turtle. I believe it is, but
you know, you can never.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
You can never beat actually asking the feller that shows
up in the green jeans with the gun and the
big old fat ticket book. I mean, that's winning. Doubt
always calls a man himself, is what I say. Anyway, Henry,
I'll keep you up then hopefully I catch this here turtle.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
You have a good day.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Thank you very much, Beefford. Looking forward, I hope that
we can't have a turtle at least a turtle tasting
I would love to have at a turtle cooking show
on the unc Henry Show. But maybe a turtle tasting show.
And of course we would have to involve the snake
trapper who's been evangelizing about the deliciousness of turtles on
(30:14):
the program. Now, speaking of.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
The snake trapper, Heyl Henry snake trapper, Hey man, I'm
listening to the list. Just come on, glue about this
beautiful young lady that does this gene commercial.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Well, by the when I was on vacation, that story
was great entertainment for me and my wife. We followed
the It was about three days of solid entertainment of
people getting angry about a good looking woman selling blue jeans.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Uncle Henry. This young lady, I would admit, she does
look like she was maybe melted and poured into them jeans.
But Nazism, I can't see it on the Henry man
that they are really losing it. And I take a
moment to look at who is complaining about this Uncle Henry,
(31:09):
and it appears to be these type of people that
has pink and purple hair, somewhat three hundred and fifty
plus pounds, facial tattoos, in facial piercings, and wants to
be a man Henry. They sound like they are very
(31:31):
confused in life. And if they find a problem with
a young female model that is making a living advertising
for a gene company and want to accuse her of
being a Nazi over Henry, that shows you that these
are the people that is the problem in this country.
(31:53):
I mean, I know I'll never have a body to
model anything for one I'm overweight, and uh, I just
don't have a muscular body in them, you know. But lord,
don't you know if somebody offered me five million dollars
to do a gene commercial, they would just have them
a gene commercial with an old, fat white man.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
You.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
Uh, They're they're actually demonizing this beautiful young lady strictly
because she's making a living.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
I just want to say, there was nothing wrong with
this commercial, and and I think it's jealousy of Henry.
These these people complaining about this are kind of like,
uh uh the way I look at it, I know
I'll never be able to be a model, and neither
will be. So don't don't hold it against people, you know,
(32:45):
for making a living, and definitely don't call them Nazism. Uh,
I'm Henry. This this Uh, this country's turned upside down,
and uh it shows you the reason the Democratic Party
has such a very low disapproval reading.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, and I'm sorry to interrupt you there, but think
about the reaction people complaining bitterly about this genes commercial.
What about real adversity? Do we do have some problems
in this country? How do these how do these people
react when faced with real life adversity. If your world
(33:22):
can be can be rocked by somebody in a Genes commercial,
I just think, uh, there is a there is a
toughening up that needs to occur with some folks. I
mean just just mental toughness. Whatever happened to that? Whatever
happened to mental toughness? If you, uh, if you are
(33:43):
sent into uh days of rage over a good looking
woman selling blue jeans, what is your life like when
there's actually real adversity in it? Snack Trapper, thank you
for the voicemail. Coming up, there's uh, there's news headlines,
(34:04):
and then another half hour of Uncle Henry Show. One
of my coworkers got to spend a lot. He got
to spend the evening with William Shatner, having dinner with
William Shatner. And we're gonna listen to that story after
the news break free with funks. This is the Uncle
(34:34):
Henry Show here on News Radio seven ten WNTM. This
half hour of show, I'm gonna get to some voicemail,
maybe a news item or two, but first I want
to talk to Crash from t K one oh one
and ninety six to one the Rocket. No, I'm not
here to talk to him about the terrible music on
(34:56):
both stations. Instead crash all. I want to hear about
your time spent with William Shatner. How did you get
the job of being on stage with William Shatner at
the Sanger in Pensacola.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Well, oddly enough, TK one to one. We gave away
tickets to go see start Her two, The Wrath of
con Yes, and then get to be there for the
Q and A with William Shatner. And then William Shatner's
people reached out and said, would you like to be
the guy on stage moderating this asking the questions? Who's
(35:30):
going to say no to that?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Well? I agree, who's going to say no to that?
But are you? Are you a guy that likes Star Trek?
Had you ever watched Star Trek? I know that's a
silly question to ask, but there are people out there
that don't watch it. Had you ever watched it before?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Of course I'd watched it.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Had you ever seen the movie Wrath of Kahn? Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I had. Also, I was also a big TJ. Hooker
fan when I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
All right, So I was all in, all right, So
this is good. Little Heather of Locklear influence here, I'm
the whole thing. So what was first of all, William,
how much time did you spend with William Shatner?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I probably spent about three hours with William Shantner.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Three hours? Now, was that you together watching the movie
or what were y'all doing?
Speaker 6 (36:12):
So?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Sure he didn't watch that movie again.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
We were in the green room. We had we had
dinner from the district in downtown Pittscola, Okay, and just
the two of you, well me, him, the stage manager,
and his assistant. Okay, so the four of us had
dinner together while the movie played in the background. Okay,
so we actually did have the movie on while we
had dinner.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And what was what was William Shatner like to have
dinner with?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Really nice guy? Okay, really nice guy. I mean, grantedy
question is Calamari have gone?
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Now?
Speaker 10 (36:45):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
And we had to let him know, well that's Calamari.
He's like, you, guys, this is really good. You should
all have some I mean, trying to get everybody just
to pick off of his appetizer, which I found that
a little surprising, but okay, it was quite entertaining.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
He's sharp for hisay, I know, he's in his early
nineties or in ninety four, So where is his brain
all there?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
His brain is all there. He does now. Granted he
does have his little remembering techniques for some things just
to kind of remember this person's name or that person's name.
So it was kind of kind of fun watching him
go through all of that. So he can remember from
his intro like okay, this person this, and like he
full unadmitted to me. He's like, I always draw a
(37:26):
blank on Stephen Hawking's name, like, just for some odd reason.
Every time Steve, you know, I get to a story
about this guy, He's like, and I know it's Stephen Hawking,
but I always forget his name, just draws a complete
blank on me every time. He's like, so if I'm
telling this, if I'm telling a story and he kind
(37:47):
of let me know the story that would be into
He's like, help me remember that's Stephen Hawking.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
So I was like, okay, got you now. Granted that
did not come up when we were on stage, but
I thought that was hilarious that it's like, who forgets
Stephen Hawking.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I'll coam Shatner all right, So William Shetner was nice
to have dinner with. Now, did you get any what
indication did you get of how he he feels about
talking about this topic because he's been asked questions about
Star Trek since the nineteen sixties, since sixty six or
sixty seven or whenever it went off TV. Do you
(38:26):
did you get a sense that he's tired of this
or did he seem did not to bother him at
all to talk about it?
Speaker 1 (38:31):
You know, I don't think it bothers him at all
to talk about He actually told some great stories about
you know, went back when they were shooting the series,
and he told some great stories about the movies and
all that other stuff. But you know, I think it's
when people get into the minutia of everything, like, okay,
you know in episode six, you started this, you started
(38:52):
that episode with you know this on this side of
your shirt, and you ended the episode with this on
this side shirt. I think it's that stuff that gets
annoying because nobody really wants to hear that there wasn't
his responsibility that was kind of noity is issue, not is,
But I mean when it came to telling stories about
you know, just breaking for lunch and racing Leonard Deimoy
to the to the commissary to have lunch. He had
(39:15):
a great story about that.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Does because I'm trying to think of the motivation at
his age, he doesn't need the cash. Did he seem
like he enjoyed this? Was it a lot of fun
for him to go and talk to these people like.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
He enjoys it. He was telling me about his week,
about this week, have everything he had going. It was like, dude,
you're going to be home for a day after doing
all this because I think he did the last show
on Sunday and then Monday, so today he was going
home and then he flies out on Tuesday to go
shoot something in Salt Lake City, and then he was
(39:49):
going to turn around and fly to the other side
of the country and had something else going on the
next day, and then he was going to turn and
get on a plane fly back to law Vegas for
a comic con in Vegas and that. So that was
his week this coming week. And I'm like, man, I
can't keep up with that travel schedule. And he's ninety four.
(40:09):
I don't know how he does it now.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Did he did he talk about because he's in his
mid nineties, did he talk about the end of his life,
did he talk about his legacy? Did he give it
any indication of thinking about his own mortality?
Speaker 1 (40:23):
He did not, didn't hit it at all, didn't even
did he brush on the subject. Okay, And I definitely
wasn't going to ask him that question while we were
sitting there having dinner, because I wanted to say, up
beatn positive, what about.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
The questions on stage? Where did those come from? Did
they come from the audience?
Speaker 1 (40:39):
They came from the audience, So the audience had written
down their questions on their way in, and you know,
then of course they were brought back to me and
I sorted through all the questions. So, you know, I mean,
you've got what two thousand people in this place, and
everybody's writing down a question. So of course, obviously he
can't get to everybody's question, of course, And so it
(41:00):
was a lot of okay, a lot of these people
want to know about a trip to space. So here's
our giant pile of people. Let's just jot down everybody's
name that wants to know about space and let him
tell his you know, trip to space story. And okay,
here's all the people that want to know some of
the behind the scenes stuff from Rathacon or behind the
scenes stuff about the series, because a lot of people
had very similar questions, so we were able to kind
(41:21):
of loop all of that together. And then of course
you had some some people that didn't know what to ask,
So the ones that didn't make it to stage, like one,
what's your favorite cereal? Okay, that one didn't That one
did not make it to stage. Okay, it didn't figure
there would be a great story behind what's your favorite cereal?
I might have missed. I might have missed something there.
(41:42):
Somebody might have known something I didn't.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
But you know, did anything surprise you about William Shatner
or the event?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
The thing that surprised me. We're sitting backstage and you know,
just setting in the green room killing time, and so yeah,
he's scrolling on his phone and I'm not thinking about it.
I'm so used to people scrolling on their phone. That's
what people do now. And they starts sharing things from
about what he's reading. And he was reading science stories
(42:12):
at on Popular Mechanics dot com while we were sitting
there in the green room. Okay, so you know, it's
kind of one of those It didn't really expect, you know,
William Shanner to be sharing things about empirical evidence in
an article that he's reading at the time. So I
did not see that one coming. So that was kind
of my shocker.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
Okay, well he is. I mean he gets into arguments
with people on the X app all the time, so
he is. He is that Obviously the mind is working great,
a very sharp. You would not know he's ninety four
to be sitting there having a conversation with him. The
thing that got me when I'm sitting there and I'm
talking to him or going through the whole thing my
(42:51):
mind the entire time, I'm like, who do I know
that's got a personality close to Shantner Uncle Henry of course,
but I'm seriously from a performance angle and everything else
from a personality thing like you two are some Panico
Like I didn't have to go I don't have to
go hang out with William Shatter.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
I go hang out with Uncle Henry. He's closer and
more accessible.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
Thank you and that, and we're out of time for
this segment. Crash from t K one oh one and
ninety six one The Rocket, Thank you.

This man was once a lawyer before he became a judge.
Right now, Huncle Henry, I've never met a judge that
had a heart onceoever, so we're going to have to
name him the tim Man because he has no heart
and that and by.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
The way, on judges not having hearts, I've not been
a bad, big fan of judges myself throughout my life,
but I would encourage you to meet judges that do
that deal with juvenile cases.
Speaker 5 (49:41):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (49:41):
The juvenile court judges that I've met have been have
had a lot of heart over the years. All right, Well,

Weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
To quote mister Rogers, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood,
a wonderful day in the neighborhood. Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It says The Uncle Henry's Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you, Thank you for listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate it very very much.
I want to thank you the listener. I just want
to thank the wonderful sponsors of the program. I'd like
(01:25):
to thank my boss, Ronnie Bludworth and all the other bosses,
all of the people that can tell me what to do,
and there's a long list. I want to thank them all.
Thank you all for allowing me to continue performing the
Uncle Henry Show. Well I say that word. I'm really.
All I'm doing really is just standing here speaking to
you on the microphone. Glad to be back here on
(01:45):
the Uncle Henry Shaw is off for four days last week.
And another thank you. I want to thank Killer Bees
and missus killer Bees for inviting me and my lovely
wife to go see Killer Bees perform at the Grand
Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. We had a wonderful time.
I'd never been to Nashville. Now I've been to Tennessee
(02:08):
like many people have. Tennessee one of the top tourist
spots in our country. A lot of people love Tennessee,
and I've been up there several times. I've just never
been to Nashville. I've been to a lot of other
places up there, but never been to Nashville. Had a wonderful,
wonderful time in Nashville, Tennessee. In fact, working on ninety
(02:29):
five KSJ playing the country music. It almost felt like
I needed to go so that I could learn more
to help me in my job on ninety five KSJ.
So the wife and I we went up there. Before
we went to the Grand Ole Opry to see Killer Bees,
we visited the part of Nashville known as BroadWare Broadway
(02:49):
where they have all these honky tonks and restaurants and bars.
Many are owned by or have the name of country
music stars on the establishments. So we went and saw
the Jelly Roll Bar, and the Kid Rock Bar, and
the John Rich Bar, and the Morgan Wallen Bar and
(03:13):
the Eric Church Bar. Chiefs. We saw all these bars
and many more that I can't even remember, I can't
remember all these different places that we saw up in there.
Now they had the bar. There's a bar called Chiefs
owned by Eric Church that a couple of years ago
country music superstar Morgan Wallen made the news in he
(03:35):
went to the rooftop of that bar and threw a
chair off of the roof and he got charged with
a felony. This was pending in the courts for over
a year. He had to pay a fine and all
this kind of stuff. But it was a big deal
up there when he threw the chair because somebody could
(03:55):
have been hurt. Nobody wants a chair to fall on
top of them from a roof, and he almost hit
some police by accident. So hefty find for Morgan Wallen
and Shelby Mitchell said, when you go to Nashville, please
take a picture in the spot where Morgan Wallen through
the chair. So that was one of the first places
(04:17):
we went when we went to Nashville, was to go
to a crime scene. Yes, we went to a crime scene.
We went up there and they have turned it into
its own tourist attraction. The bar has installed a permanent sign.
There's a plaque there at the roof where Morgan Wallen
(04:42):
through the chair, and the plaque says something to the
effect of you you ain't Morgan Wallen, don't even try it.
So they have the spot marked and a warning not
to try and throw anything off the roof. And I
wanted to get a picture. As Shelby Mitchell told me,
she said, we want you to take a picture there.
So I wanted to get a picture. And there was
(05:03):
a guy standing there that just would not move. He
just stood there and he stood there, and I thought,
I wonder if this guy's ever going to move, And
finally I went up and talked to him. Turns out
that the guy works for the bar chiefs. His name
was Jay, and he said that it was his job.
(05:24):
He had to stand there all day long guarding the
spot to make sure that tourists didn't throw things off
the roof. So that's a So the Morgan Walling incident
has created a few jobs now, it's been a drain
on the well. I don't know if it's been a
(05:44):
drain on the business chiefs because I don't know that
we would have gone in there. We wouldn't have gone
in there if we hadn't had the reason to see
where the chair was thrown, and they created a drink
called the Chair that they sell up there. They have
the Chair drink that you can purchase, so they're making
money off of it. And there's somebody that's all. This
(06:07):
is capitalism for you. They're they're selling a drink about
the crime, and they have somebody that's making he's he's
making an hourly wage standing there preventing people from copying
the crime. So capitalism at its finest. And we talked
(06:28):
to the guy Jay. Jay was very nice. He said
that people try. People end up having a few too
many and they try to stand up on the side
of the roof, and so it's they do have to
police it a little bit more now that the chair
was thrown. So that was educational for me, getting an
economics lesson capitalism lesson up there. But enjoyed seeing all
of that, just had a great time and then visiting
(06:54):
the Grand Old Opry. It was quite a night at
the Grand Old Opry. We've got one of my favorite
country songs of all time is George Jones he Stopped
Loving Her Today. I don't know if you remember that one,
but it was one of the it's considered one of
the top country songs of all time. George Jones he
Stopped Loving Her Today. I think it was released in
(07:16):
the eighties, nineteen eighties. Now George Jones is no longer
alive to perform the song at the Grand Old Opry.
But the night we went to see Killer Bees the artists,
Stephen Curtis Chapman was there. Stephen Curtis Chapman, renowned for
(07:41):
his Christian music, he performed the George Jones song. I
did not expect to have one of my favorite country
music songs performed there, but there was Stephen Curtis Chapman
performing he Stopped Loving Her Today at the Grand Old Opry.
And the reason he did it is that Stephen Curtis
Chapman explained that when he was a young man, he
(08:05):
used to perform at opry Land, and he said that
Roy Acuff went over to opry Land and saw him
singing and invited him to come over the Grand Old
Opry at age like eighteen and perform that song. And
he said he went over to the Grand Old Opry
at age eighteen to perform he Stopped Loving Her Today.
(08:29):
Back then it was a hit, and he said that
he forgot the words. When he had that opportunity at
age eighteen, he forgot the words, and so he wanted
to make sure they actually came back and performed the
song correctly and knew all the words. So I got
to see I got to see one of my favorite
(08:50):
songs there performed, had a wonderful time. I have a
little bit more on this when we come back from
the break. Let's take the break Uncle Henry's Show, Uncle
(09:16):
Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM. It's five twenty.
We have news headlines coming up in ten minutes from
Fox ten and from Fox Radio National News. And the
last segment of the show was telling you what I
did when I was on vacation and went up to Nashville.
Was invited by Killer Bees and Missus Bees to go
and see Killer Bees perform at the Grand Old Opry.
(09:43):
And in the middle of the Opry experience, at intermission,
Killer Bees and his wife invited my wife and I
to come backstage and spend the rest of the time backstage,
and he gave us a wonderful backstage tour. If you're
interested in that kind of stuff, you can go to
the Uncle Henry Show. Facebook page and look and see
the video. Killer Bees did about a nine minute video
(10:05):
for the Uncle Henry showed giving us a tour backstage.
A lot of fun. To me, the most interesting thing
about it was how all of the performers that were there,
Killer Bees, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Michael Ray, Connor Smith, Morgan Wade,
(10:25):
the Cody Norris, bluegrass group Breeland, all these different country
music artists, they all acted just they they were all
acting like kids, like they were so delighted. They were
all so delighted to be there, so grateful to be there.
They just I guess the history of it really intoxicates
(10:47):
these people, but they were just I've never seen such
a happy group of people as were the people that
are that were happy back there at that grand old opry,
All the people that were all the people that were
perform we're all meeting up with each other backstage and
exchanging pictures and greetings and trying to get together with
each other in the future. It's just tremendous fun to
(11:09):
see all that kind of stuff. And just again, gratitude
to Killer Bees and missus Killer Bees for inviting us
up there. Now, before I tell you anything, else and
I've got I only have a little bit more left
to tell you about the trip up there in Nashville.
I do have a caller, Hellove, caller.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Hey, Henry, how you doing today?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I'm doing good as this Stevey.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Sir is Steve on my hands free device, so I
might sound him funny.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
No you sound just find Steve. Steve, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Oh? I just.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I'm loving the Tennessee story. I enjoyed going up to
Tennessee on vacation with my wife a lot, and aside
from the college football team, it's a really good place
to to to to go vacation, especially around like the
Pigeon Forge and in uh Severeville area. You know that Severeville,
(12:10):
Tennessee has the single largest knife shop in the world.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Really, it's called.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Smoking Yes, it's called Smoking Mountain Knife Works. And it's
like a it's like a three to three or four
story I think it's a three story, very large story.
Almost takes up a whole city block. It's this uh
but it's it's like for a night guy. It's it's
just it's a wonderland. It's just like a kid in
a candy store for for a night guy. But you
(12:39):
go in there and spend hours looking around and not
seeing nearly all of it. But that's that's one thing.
But the other part about it is is that in
a place called Clinton, Tennessee, and me and my wife
did this, uh not this past fourth of July, but
the fourth fourth of July before that. They do the
anvil shoot up there. That's where they take one anvil
(13:01):
and turn it upside down, fill it with gunpowder, stick
another anvil on top of it, and a fuse in there,
and they blow that anvil fifty hundred feet in the air.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Now, that is something I would never have thought to
do that. I wonder who thought to do that the
first time.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Well, apparently it's been going on for a long long time.
It's kind of like, you know, the old hill billy's
answer to fireworks, back before fireworks were a thing. Yes,
and apparently they've been doing that for many, many years.
And they do that every fourth of July. They'll shoot
that anvelope in the air about you know, every every
(13:41):
hour on the hour, they'll they'll do another one. And
they have like old period costumes and old muskets and
stuff that you can see. They got the bluegrass music
and the Buck dancers and just it's just a real
Americana festival and celebration. And uh they even had an
(14:03):
aide Lincoln impersonator that looked really really good with his
wife that looked just like Mary Todd Lincoln, and uh,
they were roaming around and it's really a really if
you want to do something for the Fourth of July
out of the ordinary and you feel like getting on
the road or something. Man, me and my wife we
had a blast up there. It was literally I mean,
(14:25):
you know, no fun intended, but it was a really
good time for for you know people, people with a
few years on them kids probably wouldn't enjoy it except
the thing blowing up, but uh, you know, and they
had forging demonstrations and it's a it's at the Museum
of Appalachia up in Clinton, Tennessee, which is just a
(14:46):
good tourist attraction to go see it on a on
a regular day, but on the fourth of July the
real party.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Well, Steve, thank you for telling me about that. That
is that is I just Tennessee has a lot to offer,
you said, other than their football team. They got a wonderful,
wonderful setup for tourism up there.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yes, sir, they do, Yes, sir, they do. And I'm
still playing on getting by there to do a show
which you saw.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Very good. Hey, let me know. I'm I'm ready to
talk knives with you, Okay, buddy, we sure will.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Man, and uh uh keep watching my videos, man.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Appreciate it, very very good. Make it stick. I believe
it's the channel there on YouTube that's Steve knife throwing,
Steve here on the unk Leander Show two five, one
four seven nine two three the telephone number here on
the unk Gleandar Show. Yes. In terms of tourism and
going to Nashville just as a tourist, one of the
(15:47):
things that I enjoyed the most. I did not I
don't believe I saw any police at all when I
was there, But at the same time, quite a perception
of safety. Now it may not have been safe. I
might have been in danger, but I never would have
(16:10):
known it. I felt there was a tremendous perception of
safety in the tourist areas. Now, I didn't go off
out of a tourist area. I stayed where the tourists
were supposed to stay, but quite a wonderful perception of
safety there and lots of I'd say there were half
of the people I ran into reminded me of anybody
(16:33):
you'd see in Mobile, Alabama. Half the people reminded me
of the folks from home. And the other half of
the people that I met did not seem to speak English.
There was a little bit of a divide there. There
was a little bit of a divide there with the
English speaking and the non English speaking. Now, let's see,
(16:58):
do I have time. There was one more thing I
wanted to share with you, and I don't know that
I've got time. Well, I'll try. I met a panhandler. Yes,
on Broadway in Nashville. I met a panhandler and he
said when I walked up to him, he said, you
(17:19):
look like a mayor from a TV show. You look
like a small town mayor from a TV show. Oh,
don't have time. I'll share with you what he said
to me, and then get into other things when we
come back from the news. We have news headlines coming up,
and then more Uncle Henry's show. By the way, if
you missed last week's shows, they are now available as podcasts.
(17:46):
You can find those shows on the iHeartRadio app Right now.
(18:09):
Uncle Henry Show. It is five thirty five back on
the radio again after taking off most of last week
going up to Nashville with Killer Bees to see Killer
Bees perform at the Grand Old Opry. If you want
to see any of the pictures and the video, you
(18:29):
can find them on the Uncle Henry Show Facebook page. Now,
when I was in Nashville on Broadway where all the
country music stars have their bars, my wife and I
encountered a panhandler that as soon as I walked up
(18:50):
on the guy, he said, you look like a small
town mayor on TV. And so I whipped out my
smartphone to to record what the man had to say
about me.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Now you from Broadway in.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Tennise and on Nashville. Now you told me I look
like somebody.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
He looks like the mirror I'll come Junkinville, and he
looks like an honest mirror. He don't shuck and jive
no one. He means business and take care of everybody.
He's so cool, he's going he can sell a man slive,
he can steal a fly off of man's ass.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Bad word. I mean, I looked like I was from
a TV show. What's Yes?
Speaker 6 (19:34):
He was a pedacle Junction. You know he looks good
Petigal Junction.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It all right. So a man told me that I
looked like I belonged on Petticoat Junction, which was, you know,
when you're in a strange environment. I don't know about you,
but I do want to feel confident about myself and
know that I'm presenting myself in a good way when
I'm in a specially when I'm in a new environment.
(20:02):
And so to have a man on the street tell
me that I look like I belong on Petticoat Junction.
As the mayor of a small town, I just I
took that as one of the most wonderful compliments. I
just I was floating on air for the rest of
the day having been told that I look like I
belong on the TV show Petticoat Junction. So, and if
(20:28):
you're unfamiliar with Petticoat Junction, many episodes on YouTube too.
If you wonder what good TV is, you can find
some Petticoat Junction on YouTube and find out what the
man was talking about. And yes, I did tip the
man for his compliment. I have to say, we have
panhandlers a mobile not as entertaining. This guy, and maybe
(20:51):
you have to work your way up to Nashville, but
not as entertaining as the guy in Nashville. I was
more than willing to slip a few bucks to this guy,
especially with that kind of a compliment. But again, wonderful
time at a wonderful time up there. And if you
want to see all the pictures in the video Uncle
Henry Show Facebook page and a couple of the videos
(21:13):
up on my X account. If you are on the
X app, look for Uncle Henry on X and you
can find the videos there now. Last week on the
Uncle Henry Show, while I was gone, I did have
three interviews that aired. Interviewed Eric bump Overstreet, who last
Friday was going to raise money for Ryan's refuge by
(21:36):
going out and living with the homeless for a month now.
I've not been following it on Facebook, but my wife
has been following it, and some of the stuff she'd
show showed me has been pretty interesting, the way that
the homeless are treated, both good and bad in the
(21:57):
Mobile area. Look for Eric bump Overstreet on Facebook if
you're interested in watching him live with the homeless for
a month. He's already been. He's been raising some good
money for Ryan's refuge doing this so again, Eric, if
you want to hear that episode, you can find that
show on the iHeartRadio app. Look for Uncle Henry Show
(22:19):
on the iHeartRadio app and you'll find the Eric bump
Overstreet Show. You'll also find the interview I did with
mobile mayoral candidate Paul Prime. That Paul Prime interview is
now available as a podcast, and also the interview I
did with Spiro Serragattis, who is a mobile mayoral candidate,
(22:42):
that's also available as a podcast. So if you want
to hear all those interviews, you can go to the
iHeartRadio app look up Uncle Henry Show. You can find
him there, or you can go to NewsRadio seven ten
dot com and look under podcasts for those interviews. And
as I mentioned Thursday, I've had Paul Prine and Spiro
(23:07):
come in for interviews, enjoyed the experience, enjoyed learning more
about them. I have emails out to the female candidates
and open invitations to them. I have not heard anything
from their campaigns. I just want them to know that
they are more than welcome to come in and also
get interviewed in a similar way to Paul Prime and
(23:32):
Spiro Chargatdas two five to one four seven nine two
seven two three. The telephone number to reach the Uncleander
Show two five to one four seven nine two seven
two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now,
I do have some voicemails that have stacked up from
my week out of town.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Here is a call that came in last week while
I was in Nashville.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I wanted to Uncle Henry, Well, it's gonna give me
good afternoon if this message gets played.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Yes, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
My question is do you think that the United States,
this country is headed maybe for another housing bubble? I
don't know any other way to put that. And the
reason I asked, housing has had a tremendous increase over
the last few years.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Yeah. By the way, I have many of us have
noticed this.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Around my area, Dolls Road area. They're building a couple
of new neighborhoods, and honestly, the Adams Company neighborhood looks
like the old old style row houses. There's just a
big loop was I don't know, two hundred houses. Maybe
they all look the same. They have no personality. The
(24:54):
neighborhood has no personality. It really looks like government from
the old days, And just kind of curious because I
spoke to a real estate friend of mine who says,
those houses are going for two hundred and seventy three
thousand dollars and something. The old school payment plan may
(25:17):
be coming back. They felt like, because your first year's
note is kind of low, your second year note bumps
up a little bit, and the third year you feel
the full effect of your note. Now to me this
at one time, I think we did this in America.
It pretty much set people up for failure. And are
(25:38):
we doing that again in two or three years? Are
we going to be faith with another housing I don't know, collapse.
You know, all these mortgage companies, these home builders are saying,
come on, everybody, come get your house. Well, you know,
in three years or the mortgage company's gonna come back
and get those houses. Just kind of curious, that's the
(25:59):
thought of my real estate buddy, And he doesn't see
how this could be sustainable. Brand new houses popping up
everywhere for outrageous pricing, and just kind of a concern.
Don't know why I'm concerned because, well, I guess because
it's gonna hurt your economy. If it does, if that
does happen, But just my fault for today, off for Henry.
Speaker 8 (26:22):
I'm kind of riding around out here.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
My mind's going, you know, just wheels are turning.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Everybody, have a good one.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Thank you very much for your voice, ma'am maryan the
And it's nice that you've got wheels in your head turning,
because there's a lot of times I'll be driving around
and there's not much up in my head and I'm
worried about it. I do. I get worried about the
vacancy in my head, the excessive space in there.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I don't have a I'm not uh, I'm not an
expert on this topic. So I don't know that I
can shed any any good insight for you here, other
than I know that in my life I asked real
estate shows that I was doing a few months ago
that I have no by the way I've noticed what
you've seen, I've been I've been kind of shocked myself
at what some houses have gone for in many different
(27:12):
neighborhoods of Mobile But over the last year or so,
I don't know that they have skyrocketed in value the
way they did the previous years.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I don't I don't know what to tell you about it.
On a national level. I know that on the local level,
our economy is good, and I would not be fearful. Again,
I'm not an expert. I just I would not be
fearful here on the Gulf Coast of things losing dramatically
(27:45):
their value. But again I ain't an expert. Uncle Henry
(28:07):
Show News Radio seven ten WNTM. It is five fifty
news headlines coming up in ten minutes and then more.
Uncle Henry Show on the way for you. Telephone number
if you'd like to call in two five to one
four seven nine two seven two three. That's two five
(28:28):
one four seven nine two seventy two three. Email address
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle Henry at
iHeartMedia dot com. Now mentioned to you that I had
some voicemail stack up from when I was out of town.
Let me check another message. Last message we checked was
about home prices going way way up.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
Let's see what this message is about this, Henry, I
ain't forgot about the turtle cooking show.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
Just ain't had no look catching turtles.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
However, I spied a soft shell turtle hanging around my
dock today, So Henry, hopefully I can catch him up.
And I will also call the h Alabama Game Warden
people to make sure it is legal for me to catch, cook, and.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Clean a soft shell turtle. I believe it is, but
you know, you can never.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
You can never beat actually asking the feller that shows
up in the green jeans with the gun and the
big old fat ticket book. I mean, that's winning. Doubt
always calls a man himself, is what I say. Anyway, Henry,
I'll keep you up then hopefully I catch this here turtle.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
You have a good day.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Thank you very much, Beefford. Looking forward, I hope that
we can't have a turtle at least a turtle tasting
I would love to have at a turtle cooking show
on the unc Henry Show. But maybe a turtle tasting show.
And of course we would have to involve the snake
trapper who's been evangelizing about the deliciousness of turtles on
(30:14):
the program. Now, speaking of.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
The snake trapper, Heyl Henry snake trapper, Hey man, I'm
listening to the list. Just come on, glue about this
beautiful young lady that does this gene commercial.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Well, by the when I was on vacation, that story
was great entertainment for me and my wife. We followed
the It was about three days of solid entertainment of
people getting angry about a good looking woman selling blue jeans.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Uncle Henry. This young lady, I would admit, she does
look like she was maybe melted and poured into them jeans.
But Nazism, I can't see it on the Henry man
that they are really losing it. And I take a
moment to look at who is complaining about this Uncle Henry,
(31:09):
and it appears to be these type of people that
has pink and purple hair, somewhat three hundred and fifty
plus pounds, facial tattoos, in facial piercings, and wants to
be a man Henry. They sound like they are very
(31:31):
confused in life. And if they find a problem with
a young female model that is making a living advertising
for a gene company and want to accuse her of
being a Nazi over Henry, that shows you that these
are the people that is the problem in this country.
(31:53):
I mean, I know I'll never have a body to
model anything for one I'm overweight, and uh, I just
don't have a muscular body in them, you know. But lord,
don't you know if somebody offered me five million dollars
to do a gene commercial, they would just have them
a gene commercial with an old, fat white man.
Speaker 7 (32:16):
You.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
Uh, They're they're actually demonizing this beautiful young lady strictly
because she's making a living.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
I just want to say, there was nothing wrong with
this commercial, and and I think it's jealousy of Henry.
These these people complaining about this are kind of like,
uh uh the way I look at it, I know
I'll never be able to be a model, and neither
will be. So don't don't hold it against people, you know,
(32:45):
for making a living, and definitely don't call them Nazism. Uh,
I'm Henry. This this Uh, this country's turned upside down,
and uh it shows you the reason the Democratic Party
has such a very low disapproval reading.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, and I'm sorry to interrupt you there, but think
about the reaction people complaining bitterly about this genes commercial.
What about real adversity? Do we do have some problems
in this country? How do these how do these people
react when faced with real life adversity. If your world
(33:22):
can be can be rocked by somebody in a Genes commercial,
I just think, uh, there is a there is a
toughening up that needs to occur with some folks. I
mean just just mental toughness. Whatever happened to that? Whatever
happened to mental toughness? If you, uh, if you are
(33:43):
sent into uh days of rage over a good looking
woman selling blue jeans, what is your life like when
there's actually real adversity in it? Snack Trapper, thank you
for the voicemail. Coming up, there's uh, there's news headlines,
(34:04):
and then another half hour of Uncle Henry Show. One
of my coworkers got to spend a lot. He got
to spend the evening with William Shatner, having dinner with
William Shatner. And we're gonna listen to that story after
the news break free with funks. This is the Uncle
(34:34):
Henry Show here on News Radio seven ten WNTM. This
half hour of show, I'm gonna get to some voicemail,
maybe a news item or two, but first I want
to talk to Crash from t K one oh one
and ninety six to one the Rocket. No, I'm not
here to talk to him about the terrible music on
(34:56):
both stations. Instead crash all. I want to hear about
your time spent with William Shatner. How did you get
the job of being on stage with William Shatner at
the Sanger in Pensacola.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Well, oddly enough, TK one to one. We gave away
tickets to go see start Her two, The Wrath of
con Yes, and then get to be there for the
Q and A with William Shatner. And then William Shatner's
people reached out and said, would you like to be
the guy on stage moderating this asking the questions? Who's
(35:30):
going to say no to that?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Well? I agree, who's going to say no to that?
But are you? Are you a guy that likes Star Trek?
Had you ever watched Star Trek? I know that's a
silly question to ask, but there are people out there
that don't watch it. Had you ever watched it before?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Of course I'd watched it.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Had you ever seen the movie Wrath of Kahn? Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I had. Also, I was also a big TJ. Hooker
fan when I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
All right, So I was all in, all right, So
this is good. Little Heather of Locklear influence here, I'm
the whole thing. So what was first of all, William,
how much time did you spend with William Shatner?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I probably spent about three hours with William Shantner.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Three hours? Now, was that you together watching the movie
or what were y'all doing?
Speaker 6 (36:12):
So?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Sure he didn't watch that movie again.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
We were in the green room. We had we had
dinner from the district in downtown Pittscola, Okay, and just
the two of you, well me, him, the stage manager,
and his assistant. Okay, so the four of us had
dinner together while the movie played in the background. Okay,
so we actually did have the movie on while we
had dinner.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And what was what was William Shatner like to have
dinner with?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Really nice guy? Okay, really nice guy. I mean, grantedy
question is Calamari have gone?
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Now?
Speaker 10 (36:45):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
And we had to let him know, well that's Calamari.
He's like, you, guys, this is really good. You should
all have some I mean, trying to get everybody just
to pick off of his appetizer, which I found that
a little surprising, but okay, it was quite entertaining.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
He's sharp for hisay, I know, he's in his early
nineties or in ninety four, So where is his brain
all there?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
His brain is all there. He does now. Granted he
does have his little remembering techniques for some things just
to kind of remember this person's name or that person's name.
So it was kind of kind of fun watching him
go through all of that. So he can remember from
his intro like okay, this person this, and like he
full unadmitted to me. He's like, I always draw a
(37:26):
blank on Stephen Hawking's name, like, just for some odd reason.
Every time Steve, you know, I get to a story
about this guy, He's like, and I know it's Stephen Hawking,
but I always forget his name, just draws a complete
blank on me every time. He's like, so if I'm
telling this, if I'm telling a story and he kind
(37:47):
of let me know the story that would be into
He's like, help me remember that's Stephen Hawking.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
So I was like, okay, got you now. Granted that
did not come up when we were on stage, but
I thought that was hilarious that it's like, who forgets
Stephen Hawking.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
I'll coam Shatner all right, So William Shetner was nice
to have dinner with. Now, did you get any what
indication did you get of how he he feels about
talking about this topic because he's been asked questions about
Star Trek since the nineteen sixties, since sixty six or
sixty seven or whenever it went off TV. Do you
(38:26):
did you get a sense that he's tired of this
or did he seem did not to bother him at
all to talk about it?
Speaker 1 (38:31):
You know, I don't think it bothers him at all
to talk about He actually told some great stories about
you know, went back when they were shooting the series,
and he told some great stories about the movies and
all that other stuff. But you know, I think it's
when people get into the minutia of everything, like, okay,
you know in episode six, you started this, you started
(38:52):
that episode with you know this on this side of
your shirt, and you ended the episode with this on
this side shirt. I think it's that stuff that gets
annoying because nobody really wants to hear that there wasn't
his responsibility that was kind of noity is issue, not is,
But I mean when it came to telling stories about
you know, just breaking for lunch and racing Leonard Deimoy
to the to the commissary to have lunch. He had
(39:15):
a great story about that.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Does because I'm trying to think of the motivation at
his age, he doesn't need the cash. Did he seem
like he enjoyed this? Was it a lot of fun
for him to go and talk to these people like.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
He enjoys it. He was telling me about his week,
about this week, have everything he had going. It was like, dude,
you're going to be home for a day after doing
all this because I think he did the last show
on Sunday and then Monday, so today he was going
home and then he flies out on Tuesday to go
shoot something in Salt Lake City, and then he was
(39:49):
going to turn around and fly to the other side
of the country and had something else going on the
next day, and then he was going to turn and
get on a plane fly back to law Vegas for
a comic con in Vegas and that. So that was
his week this coming week. And I'm like, man, I
can't keep up with that travel schedule. And he's ninety four.
(40:09):
I don't know how he does it now.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Did he did he talk about because he's in his
mid nineties, did he talk about the end of his life,
did he talk about his legacy? Did he give it
any indication of thinking about his own mortality?
Speaker 1 (40:23):
He did not, didn't hit it at all, didn't even
did he brush on the subject. Okay, And I definitely
wasn't going to ask him that question while we were
sitting there having dinner, because I wanted to say, up
beatn positive, what about.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
The questions on stage? Where did those come from? Did
they come from the audience?
Speaker 1 (40:39):
They came from the audience, So the audience had written
down their questions on their way in, and you know,
then of course they were brought back to me and
I sorted through all the questions. So, you know, I mean,
you've got what two thousand people in this place, and
everybody's writing down a question. So of course, obviously he
can't get to everybody's question, of course, And so it
(41:00):
was a lot of okay, a lot of these people
want to know about a trip to space. So here's
our giant pile of people. Let's just jot down everybody's
name that wants to know about space and let him
tell his you know, trip to space story. And okay,
here's all the people that want to know some of
the behind the scenes stuff from Rathacon or behind the
scenes stuff about the series, because a lot of people
had very similar questions, so we were able to kind
(41:21):
of loop all of that together. And then of course
you had some some people that didn't know what to ask,
So the ones that didn't make it to stage, like one,
what's your favorite cereal? Okay, that one didn't That one
did not make it to stage. Okay, it didn't figure
there would be a great story behind what's your favorite cereal?
I might have missed. I might have missed something there.

Somebody might have known something I didn't.

just setting in the green room killing time, and so yeah,
he's scrolling on his phone and I'm not thinking about it.
I'm so used to people scrolling on their phone. That's
what people do now. And they starts sharing things from
about what he's reading. And he was reading science stories
(42:12):
at on Popular Mechanics dot com while we were sitting
there in the green room. Okay, so you know, it's
kind of one of those It didn't really expect, you know,
William Shanner to be sharing things about empirical evidence in
an article that he's reading at the time. So I
did not see that one coming. So that was kind
of my shocker.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
Okay, well he is. I mean he gets into arguments
with people on the X app all the time, so
he is. He is that Obviously the mind is working great,
a very sharp. You would not know he's ninety four
to be sitting there having a conversation with him. The
thing that got me when I'm sitting there and I'm
talking to him or going through the whole thing my
(42:51):
mind the entire time, I'm like, who do I know
that's got a personality close to Shantner Uncle Henry of course,
but I'm seriously from a performance angle and everything else
from a personality thing like you two are some Panico
Like I didn't have to go I don't have to
go hang out with William Shatter.

You can't be a goddess if you're a guy. Anyway,
This man was once a lawyer before he became a judge.
Right now, Huncle Henry, I've never met a judge that
had a heart onceoever, so we're going to have to
name him the tim Man because he has no heart
and that and by.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
The way, on judges not having hearts, I've not been
a bad, big fan of judges myself throughout my life,
but I would encourage you to meet judges that do
that deal with juvenile cases.
