Speaker 1 (00:07):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
That says the Uncle Henry Show here on news radio
seventy ten wnt M. Thank you for listening. I appreciate
very much you listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Now,
in this half hour a show, I'm going to get
some some news items that I missed. You might have
missed them too. Also gonna check some voicemail from the

(00:42):
lovely listeners. Let me start with a voicemail. Voicemail number
to reach the Uncle Henry Show is two five one
two one six, nineteen seventy six. If you want to
leave a message for me, two five to one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. To leave a message for

(01:02):
the Uncle Henry Show. Let me go into the Uncle
Henry Show voicemail and get a message here. This is
a Christmas time type of message from buford An.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
This is Henry. You ever dealt with the Angel tree people?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Now? Have I ever dealt with the Angel tree people?
Pausing already in the voicemail? Now, I've bought stuff for
angel trees before. Mostly my family has dealt with that.
But I think I think I was involved maybe fifteen
years ago. It's been a while. It's been a while.
Why do you ask did they.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Vet them families? The reason I was asking is Andry
buddy of mine, went to do an angel tree and
there was one people left, one's family left, and all
them children they want to like iPads and Apple watches

(02:02):
and stuff like that. And he's like, man, I can't
even afford to buy my own Chill Dreen these things.
But you know, Henry, I get it. You know Chill Dreen.
Today they probably ain't asking for you know, little Susie
dollies and fire trucks.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
And I'm I'm sorry to pause, but yes, the children
of today, at a certain age, they want the electronics,
don't they. Now, I say, I say that I don't
have any that I'm trying to buy Christmas presents for.
I've got there's grandchildren involved. But the modern child, I
guess what age do they?

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Was?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
About nine? Nine or ten? They want all electronics. I
say that without any knowledge of it, which is perfect
for a talk show host. But when I was a child, well, yes,
when I was a child, a toy was almost anything
that you could enjoy. I've talked on the air a
lot through my career about how when I was a child,

(03:05):
my favorite toys were pine cones. Yeah, pine cones, sticks
and dirt. Those were And one of the main reasons
I loved pine cone sticks and dirt is because you

(03:25):
had a lot of it. I was as rich as
anybody in town if you looked at my collection of
pine cone sticks and dirt as far as toys as
a child, all it took was that in my imagination
and some other child for me to throw those toys at,
and that really that's all it was required, all right. Back,

(03:48):
I could talk about this for I could spend an
entire hour talking about playing with pine cones, sticks and dirt.
But instead I'm going back to Beford's question about angel
trees and things like.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
That, little Susie dollies and fire trucks and bicycles or
even the babie guns I reckon. But they gonna want
them high dollar technological devices, because that's that's just the
age to live in. But I mean, man kind of

(04:23):
tone it down a little bit, I guess, But you know,
I guess they're gonna shoot for the moon just to
see what happens. Maybe a Daddy Warbucks might come by
and they might hit the get to lottery.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well, by the way, shout out to Buford for the
the Daddy Warbucks reference.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
And uh, some old rich feller pick it up and
get them all their wildest dreams. But uh, but, Henry Att,
the reason I wanted you ever, if they bet them
is ah, it got made a faking. And I remember
my wife used to work with a few ladies that
put their children on the Angel Trees. Yeah, and these

(05:03):
ladies made eighty ninety thousand dollars a year, but they
said they weren't if they could get somebody else to
buy their chill dreams Christmas, so they might spend no money.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's what they were gonna do, right.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
And so the Angel Tree bought the bulk of their
chill dreams Christmas, and these these moms would just only
have to spend the barrenmental if anything. But anyway, Henry,
I got to thinking, I just wondering if them Angel
Tree people bet these families, are they really in need

(05:38):
or are they just welfare queen's milking another part of
the system. Anyway, Henry, I ain't saying nothing, just asking questions.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
You have a good day, But thank you for your voice, ma'am.
I won't ask and see if I can get an
official answer on this, because I do believe. I do
believe that many, if not most, of these families really
do need the help, at least based on what I've
been exposed to through the years different charitable efforts through

(06:10):
radio stations and stuff where we would partner up with
this stuff. And I never encountered what you're talking about.
Somebody that can easily afford to buy Christmas, but they
just want to jump into I've never encountered that. Now.
I have heard some things I'm not going to tell
you about because I'm not going to tell you because

(06:34):
it's all hearsay that some of the things I've heard,
I haven't seen it myself. And when it comes to
something like this, I would rather it be definitely accurate
when we're talking about it, because you don't want somebody
to not participate when there are people in need to
get help through all this. So, Beauford, I guess my

(06:57):
answer to you is I will I will ask around
and see what I can find out about all this.
But I would operate under an assumption, and I know
it's probably unwise to assume, but I would operate under
the assumption that these families do need the help, at
least based on what I have seen personally over the years, Beautifred.

(07:20):
Thank you, though I appreciate the voicemail, and maybe this
will inspire somebody to go help somebody this this Christmas,
because there are families that do need help. Voicemail number
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six to
leave a message for the Uncle Anders Show voicemail Beautiford.

(07:41):
I'll tell you, I'm trying to think of how I
don't want to cast any aspersions on any program or anything.
I'll tell you the most interesting stories about this are
from people who work at big box stores the day,
the day or two after these gifts are distributed. So Bufford,

(08:10):
if you want interesting stories about all this and people
that see the real world, ask people that work in
big box retail and they may have some stories for
you about these type of things. There are many professions
that are forced to live in the real world. I
would say that first responders have to live in the

(08:33):
real world. Engineers have to live in the real world.
Retail employees in big box stores, yeah, oh, got to
take a quick time out for traffic and weather. Back
with more Uncle Henry's Show after the break. Take the
break that sysday, I'll call Henry Show here on news

(09:18):
radio seventy ten WNTM meyor Christmas to you. We have
news headlines coming up in ten minutes before we get there.
Let me see. I've got voicemail and some news items
to get to. Got a voicemail from sixty eight year
old Chris of West Locksley, Alabama.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Excuse me that frog, get my throat here this morning. Yes, hey,
welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your time off and everything.
Thank you got plenty of the risk and relaxation. Just
heard on the radio and the local news from a
local news standpoint at the Hangout Festival in Glft Shores,
well Hu Tape Place in twenty twenty six, The mayors

(10:04):
there stated that it was due to them not submitting
paperwork in time. Oh boy, he's gonna be some distract hippies,
I bet you. What's your opinion on this?

Speaker 3 (10:21):
What say you?

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Sixteen year old Chris? Thank you for the voicemail. I
was surprised when I heard about that, just because of
the economic impact of Hangout on that part of Alabama.
Now I heard a different reason. In fact, Lanyap lanyapmobile
dot Com reporting that the reason that the city has

(10:45):
rejected the Hangout Music Fest for twenty twenty six, Lanyeb
says it's because the talent lineup did not appear to
match the theme of the Sand in My Boots Festival.
They apparently they liked the way it went when they

(11:07):
did when they transformed the Hangout Festival into sand in
My Boots. You remember that that was earlier this year.
Sand in My Boots was the country and western stuff
led by Morgan Wallen, and apparently the city appreciated the

(11:28):
customers more. I say that, I don't. I don't really.
I haven't heard a speech on this or why they're
where they're doing this, but I know, I know that
they preferred the city fathers and mothers, whoever they are.
They preferred Sand in My Boots with the country music
artists to the Hangout Festival for whatever reason. For what
Maybe they liked the crowd better for sand in My

(11:51):
Boots versus the crowd for Hangout Fest. So I know
that Gulf Shores will be fine, even though it is
a big economic impact. They will be fine. And from
from what I I went to Sand in my Boots.

(12:13):
I'd never been to the Hangout Festival myself, but I
went to Sand in my Boots for ninety five KSJ
this earlier this year, and I talked to a lot
of locals that lived down there, and it was kind
of a toss for the people that lived there, it
was kind of a toss up. It was kind of
a toss up in terms of whether they wanted to
go away permanently or stay in any form. So yes,

(12:38):
even though economic impact some of the you know, there
are pros and cons when you have thousands and thousands
of people show up in your town. So I guess
they figured that if they couldn't get the country and
western Sand in my Boots style acts, then they didn't
want to do it again. So I guess we'll find

(13:00):
out if there's going to be any festival of its
kind again in the future. But they found out they
liked the Country Festival more than the Hangout Festival. Now,
let me see what can I share with you in
a news item while we've got time, got a couple
of minutes left here in this segment. Here's something from
Fox about how long we live. Where you live linked

(13:24):
to your life expectancy. Here is Fox News reporter CJ. Poppa.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
The state where you live in shapes how long and
how well you live. A child born in Hawaii can
expect to live seventy nine point nine years. A child
born in Mississippi can expect seventy point nine years. That's
nine years less. The numbers from a new study from
money Geek, which reason.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
So if you live if you're born and raised in Hawaii,
they're claiming you'll live nine years longer than beautiful Beautiful Mississippi.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Search healthcare across the nation, it found average life expectancy
directly correlates with where you live. A study shows on average,
Americans in general passway sometime in their seventies and on
average can expect to reach seventy six point four years old.
Massachusetts comes in at seventy nine point six, which has
the highest insurance coverage rate in the country. At the

(14:15):
bottom of the life expectancy list West Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana,
and Kentucky Alabama Papa Fox News.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Wait, what we're at the bottom. Well, if we're at
the bottom, is there can we appeal to the federal
government for some type of taxpayer funded voucher to move
us to Hawaii or move us to somewhere where they
where they live longer. Is that what we need? Is that?

(14:42):
Can we apply for some type of moving voucher to
go to a state where I might live ten years longer?
You know, I'd like to I'd like to get a
few more years just to pay for a lot of
the stuff I've already bought. If you can understand what
I'm saying there, all right? Anyway, if you if you're
born and living in Hawaii, congratulations, Thank you for listening
