people and just meet other introduce yourself to other business folks.
We've already got a bunch of people that are lined
up to be here. If you're a member of the Chamber,
it is free, and if you're not a member, you

not a member of the Chamber of Commerce, So get
in touch with the Chamber if you'd like to stop

in tomorrow. It is from four to six, so this
will be going on during the first hour of the
Uncle Henry Show. And I anticipate interviewing Chamber of Commerce
people on the program tomorrow, so we'll get a we'll
take the temperature of the local economy tomorrow. Generally speaking,

(03:10):
local economy stories have been positive over the last several years,
so I'm hoping to get a lot more great news
about our local economy tomorrow from Chamber officials here on
the show. So again that is tomorrow business after Hours
with the Chamber of Commerce from four to six here
at iHeartMedia in Mobile. Now, let's see we've We've got

(03:34):
so many things we can talk about. There's so many
crazy things going on in the world around us, including
in our country, country, state, local, all kinds of stuff.
I want to start off here with you with a voicemail.
A lot of talk yesterday about how the community should
react to we had that shooting at the Sanger Sunday,

(03:56):
yet another horrible shooting in Mobile, Alabama that has people
have said, I got this message phoned into the Unklan Rachell.
Let's listen together. So what this person has to suggest.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
To us, Hey, good afternoon, Uncle Henry. I will have
a suggestion, and I hope everyone will give this consideration
and maybe comment on it. I believe gun safety and
gun responsibility should be taught in school by the Mobile

(04:31):
County Public school system at all levels elementary, middle, and
high school. This is apparently you know everybody's going to say.
You know, we a lot of us carry sight arms
with us, but most of us need to learn how

(04:51):
to put that side arm and lock it in a
trunkier car when going to certain venues and certain business establishment,
especially when children are around. I mean, this is common sense
to me.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Let me pause you there, we will continue with your message.
But yeah, it does seem like common sense that anybody
that would be around a gun would be trained to
use the gun and respect it and understand how to
use it as a tool in their lives. Unfortunately, a
lot of people that end up with guns in our

(05:28):
community are not even getting them legally. They're stolen guns.
They either steal the gun or they buy the gun
as a stolen gun. So there's not a lot of
responsibility involved in a lot of these guns these days.
But you're suggesting it be in the schools. I don't
know now. Back in the day, probably parents would be

(05:50):
all on board with that. I don't know if parents
today would be. See I remember going to school. If
you went out into the in my high school parking
lot when I was in high school, you would see
you would see gun racks in trucks. There would be yes,
there would be I know that to a maybe to

(06:12):
a young person in their fifties, that may shock them.
But back in the day, yeah, there were there were
gun racks in in the back of trucks, in the
back window of a truck. Uh, they were, They were everywhere,
But society very different now.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Uh back to the voicemail, and I think anger management
should be taught in Mobile County public schools.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
I mean, guess what, ladies and gentlemen, people, as long
as you're alive, there's always going to be somebody who
will make you very angry.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Oh I learned that. Hey, all it takes is driving
for about five minutes in this well, no, I'm sorry.
All it takes is about driving for two minutes, not
five two minutes in this town.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
And it's up to you on how to deal with it. Anyway.
We have to educate our people. You can't just get
mad and go violently on a rampage. You must learn
how to deal with your anger. And you also must

(07:19):
be if you're going to own a gun, be a
responsible gun owner. Thank you very much, Uncle Henry, and
everybody please have a great day.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Well, sir, thank you, thank you very much for your suggestions.
As I mentioned, I don't know if modern parents would
go along with a lot of that. Certainly modern parents
would go along with anger management. People are Now, feelings
have never had more currency in society than they do today,
So I'm kind of surprised if there isn't already some

(07:50):
type of anger management class and people in some type
of emotion hour. We're gonna we're gonna learn a little
bit of math this hour, but we're gonna spend the
next two hours on our feelings. But he again, thank
you for the voicemail. Voicemail number is two five to
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave a

(08:12):
message for the Uncle Embry Show. And I'm here right
now if you want to call it live two five
one four seven nine two seventy two three. That's two
five one four seven nine two seventy two three to
make a live call to the program. Now going to
take a time out. We got traffic, weather, words from
our sponsors, and then other things. Have a few more

(08:35):
thoughts on what that voicemail had in it, but many
other topics to get to as we move forward on
the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seventy ten WNTM.
Back after the break, Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seventy ten, WNTM.

(09:24):
It is five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.
Telephone number here two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. And we've got some people waiting to
talk here, at least I think they're living people on
the phone. Let me go to the calls in order
that they have arrived. Hello, caller, Does it mean it

(09:48):
is you? You are the caller?

Speaker 6 (09:51):
What's going on, Henry Steve?

Speaker 4 (09:53):
What is going on with you?

Speaker 7 (09:56):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (09:57):
Nothing? I just got a little response to that. Was
that a voicemailer about how we need gun safety classes and.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yes, and anger management classes as well. What are your
thoughts on all that?

Speaker 6 (10:13):
No? No, no, this is what we need to teach manners.
Not only does it need to be taught, it needs
to be insisted upon and reinforced with negative and positive
reinforcement if necessary. Manners. We need to teach people how
to be decent people, how to be decent citizens. We

(10:33):
need to teach responsibility and consequences, also reinforced with negative
and positive reinforcement if necessary, and insisted upon.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
In essence, we need to parent them.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
Well, no, they need to be parented at home. But
what I'm saying is by the time they get to school.
That needs to be insisted upon. You're going to behave yourself.
You're going, you know, and not to mention the adults,
you know, adults in civilized society.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Well what are you?

Speaker 6 (11:06):
What are you pulling a gun in some you know kids?
What is that some kind of kids recital or something?
Answer recital?

Speaker 4 (11:14):
That's right?

Speaker 6 (11:15):
Uh, what happened to? Just hey, you know, let's go
step outside and talk about it like men.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
You know what, Yeah, what did happen to that?

Speaker 6 (11:27):
You know, if it even needs to be that neanderthal
and idiotic? You know, Uh, can we just keep quiet
for the sake of the children and then maybe you know,
meet tomorrow for for a cup of coffee or something
and discuss our differences.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
I get that.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
Then we need to take it out back of the
coffee shop. We can do that like men, like gentlemen.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
That is that is that has not been taught to
the young generation. They have not They are not seeing
examples of that.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
No, well mean a lot of the young generation.

Speaker 7 (12:01):
The men are.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
Nowhere to be found, right, The men are off with
with the the new whatever situation, are just going from
one to one to one to one, just you know, spreading,
spreading the babies around and stuff like that. Uh but
uh yeah, no, mom and dad are the kids they

(12:24):
are and dad, mom and dad. You can't you know
this this Uh? I mean, you know, tragedy has happen
sometimes and you can't help. Sometimes there's a mom alone
or a dad alone. But you know, we're just Oh,
I can't stand you no more? Walk away after five kids.

(12:45):
You know, don't be surprised if you if you're visiting
them on one or all five of those kids.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
In prison or or or in a cemetery or in.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
A cemetery, or or you know, in some other situation,
or or you know, watching them on TV making you
real proud talking about you know, they don't even know
what gender they really are, or some you know, crazy
insanity that democrats seem to just go get get behind
with all their might. They seem to just uh as

(13:18):
as as someone who was very religious once say, they
seem to be determined to just bust hell wide open.
But uh uh anyway, Uncle Henry. On a more positive note,
I'm gaining followers on the make It Stick Knife network.
I need to come. I need to come see you,
and we need to do a show at some point

(13:40):
in times, right, you.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
Ll you let me know I'm ready. Whenever you want
to do a knife show, let me know I'm ready.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
Okay. I don't know how you know how knives will
translate over the over the air. You know, we can
we can describe stuff, or we can just you know,
talk about just whatever. You know it really does it
have to be about my knife chan or anything like that?

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Uh No, I like I will. I like knife talk
I do, and I believe knife talk will translate over
the radio. The listeners of this show have seen enough
knives and that they'll be able to imagine these knives
and they'll imagine beautiful knives. I was, uh, Steve O,
I want to try and grab another call here before
the break. But thank you, let's do that show, okay,

(14:26):
we will, man, thank you, Thank you very much. Steve
make It Stick is You can find him on on YouTube.
There's lots of make It Sticks, but look for Steve's
Make It Stick Knife channel on YouTube and my other
my other caller two five one four seven nine two
two three the telephone number here on the Uncle Henry Show.

Speaker 7 (14:48):
Hello caller, Hell, Guery's not me, is it?

Speaker 4 (14:53):
It's you you're live on the radio.

Speaker 8 (14:56):
Oh enough, cobil.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Nov cobill, what is on your mind today?

Speaker 8 (15:00):
I figured i'd be in a queue after making stick
got off the line. Uh but uh, yeah. It's funny
because for a while after I found his videos, he
didn't show up in my feet or whatever, and then
he starts showing up a lot. So I've been watching
a lot of his videos, and he does a good job.

(15:23):
And I don't know if he was the first or
it seems like since I've seen his videos, there's a
lot of copycats out there, but I don't watch their videos.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Okay, well that's nice.

Speaker 8 (15:36):
Yeah, Hey about this guy that called in about knowing
when to leave your firearm?

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah in the car right.

Speaker 8 (15:47):
It kind of defeats the purpose. If you are a good,
god fearing, law abiding citizen and you are legally able
to carry concealed firearms, you need to do that and
in a situation. And I know they're rare, although they
seemed to be more hyped. You know, with the Internet

(16:09):
and everything, you see a lot more of this stuff.
But like the Colorado shooter and I can't remember his name.
I don't want to even repeat his name. That went
into the theater and started mowing down people with a
semi automatic rifle. If a few law abiding citizens had
had firearms there, that could have stood up and returned
fire and taken out the threat before he, you know,

(16:32):
killed so many people and injured people. And that's the point,
is that an evil person will find a way to attack,
commit the crimes they want to do and whatever. But
with the Second Amendment, it's a it's a tremendous responsibility.

(16:54):
I was trained first by my father and then by
the US military, so uh, I carry. I carry responsibly.
And a situation like the Sanger, it's a terrible situation
because you've got people everywhere. You have to worry about
your backstop. Yes, that's to say, if the bullet passes

(17:16):
through the threat, what's it gonna hit. But I can't
imagine unless this other person had a firearm. And I
know the facts aren't all out yet or whatever, and
whoever this individual is is claiming self defense. Only time
will tell. I have to do a good investigation and
get to the bottom of it.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
But hey, I'm up on the break. I'm gonna have
to run Nevco bill. But yes, the citizen when properly
trained can do a great They can do a great deal.

Speaker 7 (19:09):
Hello Color, Hey Henry, Jimmy the Economist.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Jimmy the Economist, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 7 (19:18):
It was good to hear from Throwing Stars Steve and
he's brought up knives, but he's don't neglect the throwing stars.
Those are important too.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
I agree with that.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
I can't remember if the ones I had had five
points on them or eight or hexicagnol or I don't know,
but those are really, really, uh highly valuable stuff. When
a knife.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Won't work, throwing stars absolutely.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
Well.

Speaker 7 (19:52):
I've been thinking about how horrible this singer thing is.
I used to go. I say used to because I'm
not going to anymore. But those plenty of shows that
I loved to watch in there, oh yeah, and I'm
not going anymore. I mean, you can't depend on the
management or the city or even the dance recital company

(20:15):
to have magnetometers there. I can't tell you how many
basketball games, football games I've been into Mobile County. Most
every other city owned property in Mobile County has uh
magnetometers there. Why did this one?

Speaker 9 (20:32):
Not?

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Well, they do, but not for the events like dance recitals.
They I think they'd left it up to the people
that rented out the sanger and so they didn't have
them for that. But I'll tell you in the future,
everything's everything is going to have those things.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
Well, you say they may have left it up to them,
I don't know if you're referring to the city or
to the management firm, But I promise you the insurance
company for the City of Mobile, who writes liability policy
for that facility, they have an opinion. I'm quite sure.
I'm probably it's probably in their contract. And somebody dropped

(21:11):
the ball here, and I'm not sure who the party is.
And I'm not trying to point fingers, but there's going
to be some serious implications here, not only with the
future of the singer, but financial implications. I'd be traumatized
if I was there with If I was there watching

(21:32):
my daughter perform on stage and I watched somebody get
shot and killed, I'm traumatized permanently.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yes, you are my life.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
And these people are going to hire lawyers to get
financial compensation for that. And again I'm not sure who
the responsible party is. There's got to be one. I'm
afraid if it's the dance company who called the you know,
the city or the management firm off and said we
don't want this. If they are the party, that are possible,

(22:00):
there's nothing there there. But if it's the management firm
and their insurance company, or the city and Mobile and
their insurance company. There's a lot there there, and I'm
sure these folks. If I was one of these folks,
I would be quite lawyered up right now. And it's

(22:22):
just a real shame. I love going there and watching
shows over there, but it's it's that's over for me now, unfortunately.
But anyway, I don't mean it to be a Debbie downer,
but uh, the city's got a lot of problems ahead
of it on this matter, and them brushing it away
saying it's a societal problem maybe an accurate statement, but

(22:43):
it goes well beyond that.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Take care now, all right, Jimmy the Economist, thank you
very much for your phone call two five one four
seven nine two seven two three to find one four
seven nine two seven two three email address Uncle henrietihearmedia
dot com. I mentioned this brief flee yesterday and I
will mention it again just as an idea because every
time we've had an incident similar to this, and there

(23:07):
have been incidents similar to this in mobile unfortunately over
the past several years, there's always a lot of looking
around and people just trying to figure out what can
we do, what can we do? How do we talk
to the young people, especially young people. Now these were
adult men twenty seven years old, but most of the

(23:28):
cases are going to be young men younger than that.
And how do you what do you do? How do
you change? Now? Long term there's encouraging men to actually
step up and be fathers. That would be that's a
long term thing. Of course, that's what we need. We

(23:50):
need more of that all over the country, probably all
over the world, fathers stepping up and actually being a parent.
But I mentioned this yesterday day. Do I believe this
would actually be very effective? I think it could things. Uh,
there could be changes and attitudes in a in a
few years. And that is, uh, take middle school students

(24:17):
and make it a make it a mandatory field trip
to the jail, not a picture of a jail, not
video of a jail, not going into an empty simulated jail.
But take them to the take them to uh the
county jail, walk them through. Make yes, get the with

(24:39):
prisoners in there. Let middle school students see the consequences
of settling disputes with guns. You know, the Alabama prison
system is so horrible that the federal government has threatened

(24:59):
the the state of Alabama with taking it over. That's
how horrible it is inside of these prisons. Take it.
Instead of sending the kids to Montgomery on a bus
to go look at the Alabama legislature, send them to
one of the prisons. Now. The state is building brand
new prisons. Our prisons are so bad. The federal government
bullied the state into building new prisons. Take them on

(25:25):
a bus and make them walk through a prison with
inmates in their cells. Let them see it. And I
know you're thinking, that's nasty, it's horrible, it might traumatize
your child. They need to see it. They need to
see They don't need to see video of it. They
need to see it firsthand. Men and women in cages

(25:51):
being treated like they're animals because they behaved like animals.
They need to see it. And I'm not talking about
scared straight where inmates are yelling at kids or anything
like that. Be honest. This would be an honest thing. Hey, kids,
guess what. This is how the world works. If you're

(26:13):
going to go out here and settle your disputes with guns,
this is what will happen to you. You will end
up in here. Do you want to look? Do you
want to live like these guys? Over here that are
being treated like they are animals in a cage. Also,
I would make a part of the field trip talking.

(26:36):
Let them go talk to the people that do the
autopsies on people that have died from being shot. Maybe
you don't show them an actual body, show them autopsy photos.
I know that sounds horrible. Traumatize your child. They need
to see it. They need to see it. You need

(27:00):
to see what happens when somebody shot. Take them to
the cemetery. Let that be the last thing on the
field trip. Hey, there's some people buried here that decided
to solve a problem. They were in an argument and
they pulled out the gun and they lost it and

(27:20):
they're buried here. This is where their mama cries on
their birthday. I know those sound like things that would
be traumatizing, but it would be better to traumatize than
to bury the kid or put the kid in jail.

(27:40):
And they need to see this. That's being honest with
a kid. TI Saber traffic from the ten Uncle Henry Show,

news headlines coming up in ten minutes. From Fox Radio
National News Telephone number here two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. That's two five to one
four seven nine two seventy two three.

Speaker 10 (28:28):
Hello Color, Hey, good Emaen Henry.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Cliff Cliff, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 10 (28:36):
Henry, I've been around for a while, yep. And this
is a product from us. Is the result from us
during Martin Luther King time when I was young and
listening at him and we were all neat and clean,
and we had to write out the deals about being

(28:57):
a civil person and of being upstanding in the neighborhoods
and not embarrassing our children. And right along with Lendon
Van Johnson and the drugs and everything, they've been doing this.
This has been a project going for a long time
since the sixties. They always wanted to get the man

(29:18):
out of the house. They wanted even the day Black
Lives Matter, have no problem with telling you to get
rid of the nuclear family. This is the result of
us listening to the new black leaders that on the
payroll for George Soros and Salle Lensky and all of
these guys that need chaos. They need God out of

(29:39):
the house. They need the man out of the house.
They need to God.

Speaker 7 (29:43):
Out of school.

Speaker 10 (29:45):
It comes to now where they'll allow us to take
our kids to perverts, get castrated, or anything but the
good things that the kids need to see and learn.
We don't have have that anymore, Uncle, Henry, my mother,
my mother said, you know when I was young, she'll
never have a child in prison. She'll never have a

(30:10):
child in jail. When you get out of jail, come
talk to me. But other than that, we don't have
this talk. Don't call me when we already had this talk, Uncles,
with the same way, we't already had this talk. We
have lost credibility due to the black leaders that we

(30:30):
are listening at that are still telling us crazy stuff.
If we're listening at them, they will never with any
kind of understanding or enlightenment. There would never have been
a comunist, Socialist Progressive Democrat party at all, because even
our black leaders are getting paid to dupe us and

(30:53):
still tell us that we are victims. We're not victims.
Life ain't easy, and the Bible said ain't fair. That's
what they say. But God gives everybody the same amount
of time in a day. As my mama said, what
you choose to do will determine your outcome. So now

(31:18):
if we listen to that Democrats and voting for Democrats,
these people have them lost their mind.

Speaker 7 (31:23):
Now. I heard one.

Speaker 10 (31:24):
Left this lady say on television the other day that
if we don't let the illegals, saying, we ain't gonna
have nobody to wipe out butts. Now.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Well, by the way, Cliff, I also I saw that today.
I could not. I can't. I just don't understand where
people are coming from anymore.

Speaker 10 (31:45):
It's crazy due to the fact that this thing and
the singer, it's all over YouTube and everywhere else in
other states. But if you'll go travel this country, there
are so many games, there are so many homeless, there
are so many people with middle conditions from some of
the drugs, and you never see this state. The state.

(32:08):
These people do not care about us. They do not
care about the Americans, or they wouldn't have never opened
that border like that. And you see what's happening here,
they wouldn't have never done that. And there no country
I ever been in would allow you to come in
they country and protest them in their country. There's nowhere

(32:31):
they could get away with doing that.

Speaker 7 (32:34):
We have.

Speaker 10 (32:36):
Let ourselves be trained and told we the victim so
long till we killing each other like rats. And this
is where chaos come in. This is what they want,
blowing up, killing so that they can. The Democrat Party
has been mad since the Confederacy on losing this war,
and they still today trying to bring this country down

(32:59):
with a lot of these people from other countries, to
bring this country down. That's what they want. And as
black people, we better get smart because we helping them.
We help them get rid of ourselves. Were helping them.
The older people can't get any rest in the neighborhood

(33:20):
is now most of them for all of the things
that are going on. They got us with loud music,
our pants hanging down. You got your hair with the
dreads on them. Now you're looking like a predator or
something for real. And you don't care what you say
in front of people. What you do. You go in
the stores, You act a fool, you're knocking stuff off
the shell. No more civility. This is what the left

(33:45):
want and we're helping them. Un henry. We have to
get to kids, like you say in school, back to God.
What's right and right, what's wrong is wrong. There's no
boy can be a girl or a girl can be
a boy. But the government that we have for trying
to tell us and make us in certain states, pitch
your girls against boards and stuff.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Yeah, hey, Cliff, I'm sorry, I'm up on the break.
I gotta run, But thank you for your call to
the show.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Uncle Henry. This is Proverbs twenty five seventeen, the King
James version, withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house, lest
he be weary of thee and so hate thee. The
New International version seldom set your foot in your neighbor's house.
Too much of you, and he will hate you. Proverbs

(34:42):
twenty five seventeen.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
It says the Uncle Henry's show here on news radio
seven to ten WNTM. Thank you, thank you for listening
to the Unclenary Show. I appreciate it very very much.
Now this half hour of show, I'll get to a
few news items, maybe even some dubious news items. I

(35:24):
might have time for a voicemail. Not sure. Let me
start out with this. This is a maybe this would
be considered a dubious news item. Today, June fourth is
National Cheese Day. Yeah, cheese gets its own day, National

(35:49):
Cheese Day. I don't know why there needs to be
maybe the cheese industry. I don't know if there's big
cheese lobbyists that have lobbied to have a cheese Day,
but it is National Cheese Day in the United States
of America. I have done a little bit of reflecting
and pondering on the topic of cheese. I guess why not.

(36:11):
You can tell by looking at me that I've enjoyed
cheese in my life. Yes, I've enjoyed a lot of it.
And that's because I've learned through all the years that
I've been alive on the planet that there are many
foods that are just better when you pile a bunch
of cheese on top of them. And now that would

(36:32):
be up to the individual, of course, as to which
foods should have cheese piled on top of them. But
I'm a big fan, yes, a major fan of cheese,
so I don't mind that there's a National cheese Day.
In fact, I want to say, God bless you if
you're a person who cannot consume cheese due to some

(36:53):
type of allergy or condition. If you are unable to
consume cheese, God bless you. I will include you in
my prayers. It seems like something you could you might
even be able to contact the government and see if
there's maybe some type of disability check you can give
for this. Yes, it's that good. Cheese is that good?

(37:14):
Maybe it's maybe it's considered psychologically disabling if you're unable
to pile cheese on type of stuff, and who knows,
maybe there's a check in it for you. Well, anyway,
so National Cheese Day, now, now, why would I even
bring this up? You're saying, Uncle Henry, what about real
news items? Well, I watched the news in the morning.

(37:36):
I watched TV news in the morning. I used to
not do that because I used to do a morning show,
so I was never able to watch news in the
morning because I was doing my own radio show. But
over the last few years, I've stopped doing morning radio,
and now I can watch news on TV in the morning.
And this is the kind of stuff that they they

(37:58):
they'll spend five minutes, ten minutes talking about National Cheese Day,
even if there's a vital local news story. They'll still Now,
a local news story might get ninety seconds, two minutes,
three minutes tops an important news story maybe somebody you

(38:21):
know was shot or something horrible like that. Meanwhile, national
Cheese Day. They might, I don't know, ten minutes on cheese.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Now.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
I saw this, and I saw this today. I saw
a couple of news anchors talking about cheese at length
like I'm doing now. Then a little while later in
the show they mentioned it's National Hug Your Cat Day,
which come on, who came up with this? Somebody in

(38:58):
the third grade came up with an idea that the
teacher managed to get it put into some some kind
of national calendar. National Hug Your Cat Day is today,
June fourth. Now, once again, this morning, I'm getting ready
for work, and the people on the news stopped, they

(39:18):
stopped talking about news, and they spent they spent minutes
talking about National Hug Your Cat Day. And look, we
brought in pictures of us hugging our cats, you know.
They yeah, they went and prepared days in advance for
National Hugg Your Cat Day and they come in with
all these pictures of them hugging the cats. Whatever happened

(39:39):
to actual news? Can we get some of that? Can
somebody go out and report on something instead of It's
National Cheese Day? You know, yesterday was National egg Day,
And I saw like a ten minute dissertation on eggs
where all the news people were, So, what kind of
eggs do you like? I like mine? Scrambled like, how
do you like? Here? Could we just get some news?

(40:00):
Not that I've got any, by the way, I'm not
a news anchor, oral reporter. I'm just a complainer. By
the way, Uncle Henry Show News Radio seven to ten WNT.
Let me see, can I get to an actual news story?
Not a dubious news story, but an actual news story?
So and I will. Over the last couple of days,

(40:21):
I've been sharing with you all the new laws going
into effect in Alabama and all the different things. Well,
I saw a story about the new vape restrictions in Alabama.
We have new laws restricting vapes because you can't you
really can't handle buying a vape. Alabamians just don't have

(40:42):
the cognitive ability to buy vapes without government intervention. Now,
part of the new vape law is forcing schools to
create vape policies. Now I've got this story. I know
you want some real news. This is from WBrC UP
in Birmingham, stepsister station to Fox ten. Here's a report

(41:06):
on what schools are going to have to do thanks
to the new law about vapes or state.

Speaker 9 (41:13):
And this legislation includes a directive for your child school.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Your West Alabama reporter Brian Henry is live and on
your side with this new requirement. Any Way, I like
this reporter Brian Henry up there for WBrC. I like
him because he's he's not young, he's seasoned, he's mature.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
And the reasoning behind these changes, Brian.

Speaker 9 (41:34):
We're Morgan. Based on the reading of House Bill eight,
it requires local school boards to come up with vape programs,
programs that create awareness and prevention.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
I think vaping you have to create awareness. Really, isn't
there a vape shop on it? Don't? Don't kids pass
vape shops at every strip shopping center. Negative impacts on
our young people.

Speaker 9 (42:01):
Tuscaloosa City Public School of Superintendent Doctor Mike Dariel left
no doubt where he stood in the issue of vaping
on Alabama's young people, and.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
Many of those impacts we have yet to see as
the age.

Speaker 9 (42:11):
All the more reason doctor Dearium and the school boards
say they will strengthen the school district's awareness campaign on vaping.
According to doctor Dearia, students throughout the system will see
more direct clearer communications against vaping front and center for
eleven plus one thousand students, and you'll.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
See from both communication.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
But then all right, look, I'm not against this, of course,
I understand it's bad, very bad for the health of
the child to vape. I understand that. But all of
this time, is there ever a mathematics awareness campaign? How
about our arithmetic awareness campaign in a school? We'd like

(42:50):
that we could use that in the state of Alabama, reading, writing,
and arithmetic awareness campaigns. That's what we need. All right,
back with more after the break here on the Uncle
Henry Show on News Radio seven ten WNTM. Let's go ahead,
let us please take the break. Take the break, that

(43:18):
says the Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM.
News headlines are coming your way in ten minutes. If
you can just endure this segment of the show, you'll
be rewarded with news headlines. Between now and then, I'm
going to go over a few news items myself, or
I don't know if you call them actual news items

(43:39):
or dubious news items. Now here's a report from Fox
Fox Business. Ashley Webster of Fox Business reporting on Generation
Z and whether or not they write checks. And I
want to hear this because Generation Z very different from

(44:01):
previous generations, at least to the way I'm perceiving them.
A lot of them are staying home with mom and
dad a lot longer than other generations did. And I
don't know if it's all economics or if they just
like living at home with mom and dad and playing
video games. I don't want to get out in the world.
But anyway, let's listen. Let's listen together. It's the Fox

(44:22):
Business correspondent tells us about Generation Z and how often
they write actual checks.

Speaker 11 (44:30):
Only twenty six percent of Gen z is have ever
written a check. Just twenty two percent of balanced a checkbook.
So four percent rubbly went overdraft.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
That's recording right now, Okay, twenty six percent. Sorry to
already pause that, but you already said twenty something like
twenty six percent have written checks. To me, that sounds
like a high number. I never hear people talk about
checks anymore. I never see adults with check books and

(45:02):
public Really, that sounds like a high number to me.
The twenty six percent way. By the way, if you've
taught your young adult to write checks, congratulations, that's a
good thing to teach them. Okay, back to the story.

Speaker 11 (45:19):
To a new survey from Chime by Talker Research. So
the question is why does it matter. Well, the skills
may seem antiquated in today's digital world, but financial advisors
say using checks and balancing accounts can create a solid
foundation of financial knowledge.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
Also, no, so financial experts say that balancing a check
book and writing a check can lead to to financial
knowledge or something like that. Well, of course it does,
of course, of course, It's one of the best things
you can teach somebody is how to balance a check book.

Speaker 11 (45:56):
So pave the way to better money management skills across
the board. Even if you need to write a check
once or twice a year or even less frequently, it's
often for milestone events like paying wedding vendors or buying
a house.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
Okay, all right, well, twenty six percent of Gen Z
has written a check. I want to know. Now, I
want a follow up report from the Fox Business guy.
Do they write the check incursive? See when I write checks?
Now I'm paranoid about writing my checks incursive because I'm

(46:33):
worried that Generation Z, if they're looking at my check,
they won't know how to read the check because they
have not been trained on cursive the way they should be.
All right, anyway, twenty six percent of gen z has
written a check that sounds like a high number to me.
A good thing for a young person to learn, all right,

(46:55):
before I'm out of time. Something fun just for me, Yes,
just for me. I'm a big fan of blimps. I
really wish I owned a blimp and could cross the Bay,
go between Mobile and Balwin County and my own personal blimp.
That would be to me, that would be true luxury. Well,

(47:15):
the Goodyear Blimp this week is celebrating its one hundred berth,
one hundredth birthday, and that is going on right now.
Here is a Fox News story about the Goodyear Blimp
turning one hundred.

Speaker 12 (47:31):
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio, first
sent a blimp named Pilgrim into the sky on June third,
nineteen twenty five. For three days this week, it's flying
its three blimps over the area wing foot one, two
and three. The first thousand fans in an Akron and
Rubber Ducks Minor League baseball game get a T shirt
with the blimp on it. The first major sporting event
with a Goodyear blimp overhead was the nineteen fifty five

(47:51):
Rose Bowl. They've been common sights ever since. The company
says the blimps two hundred and forty six feet long
fifty eight feet high, fly with a crew of nearly
twenty people on tour.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
Okay, a crew of twenty people.

Speaker 12 (48:02):
Ten full time pilots, flying at speeds of up to
seventy three miles an hour between one thousand and fifteen
hundred feet up. Chris Foster, Fox News.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
All right, so nothing exciting in that report of the
except it excites me to know that one hundred years
and they're still flying their Goodyear blimps. And I just
wish that.

Speaker 10 (48:22):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
I don't have the income unfortunately, to go get my
own blimp. But if I could afford it, I would.
You'd see me. You'd see me traveling all around the area.
I'd have me a little blimp landing area, take off
and landing area in Baldwin. I'd have me a blimp
take off and landing area in Mobile County. I'd go

(48:45):
back and forth. I just I'd float. I'd float around
just for fun, just say hey, I wonder what it's
like let's look at the traffic jam as people are
all trying to get through the Wallace tunnel. Let's go
float over it. Just doesn't that sound like fun? Just
to float over there? All right? Out of time for
