listening to the Uncle Henry Show. I really really appreciate
you listening into the program. Thank you for doing that.
I also want to thank all the Uncle Henry Show
listeners that showed up up down at the Wharf Saturday. Normally,
(02:03):
when I do these concerts down at the Wharf, like
I did this past Saturday for Thomas Rhett Country and
Western Music concert, normally, I'm talking to the ninety five
KSJ listeners that come in and want to talk about
their favorite country stuff. But I had a lot of
WNTM Uncle Henry Show listeners show up as well to
talk to me. So if you're one of the people
(02:24):
that stop and talk to me, thank you. I appreciate that.
I enjoyed it. We had some talk show conversations. Some
of the conversations I had down at the wharf were
almost like somebody calling into the show to tell me
about the mayor's race and about what they think's going
on with the president. It was very refreshing, So thank you.
I really appreciated it. Thank you very very much. Now
(02:45):
Here we are together on the radio. We're we're not
at the wharf. We're on the radio together. We want
to call in. We have so much to talk about.

things to get to real quick though. I've got a caller. Caller,
(03:09):
hang on, I'll grab you here in just a second,

a lot of mobilions very excited about the Marti Gras
drunk train that is supposed to start the Amtrak Marti
Graus drunk train that's supposed to be taking people from
Mobile to Marti Graus and back. And we've been waiting
(03:29):
to find out when that Marti Graus drunk train is
going to start up. And this was on Fox ten today.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
We big news this morning from Amtrak. Tomorrow morning, Amtrak

Misissippi Gulf Coast. Now, the announcement is set for eight
am at Government Plaza. Fox ten News will be there

Jen This is something we've all been waiting on for
(04:13):
a really long time.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That Marti Gras train.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Not only is it going to be a party going
from the Port City to New Orleans, but also it's
going to be a party on the train.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's going to be a party on the train. It's
the Marti Gras drunk Train. All the details tomorrow morning
at eight o'clock. I'm looking forward to hearing the fairs.
How much will the taxpayer have to subsidize it? We'll
learn more tomorrow during that press conference. Two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. The telephone number
(04:41):
on the Unkleann Show. Whatever you want to bring up,
as long as it's not pornographic.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Hello, caller, good E Neil gle Henry, is this Bert?
This is Bert.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You are live on the radio.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Well, I had originally intended to raise Kine about the
upcoming ban on hemp flower.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Well, you can still do that.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
I'll maybe I'll go into that briefly. Okay, I wanted
mainly to talk about something else. But if they want
to ban something that kills millions of people every year,
how about banded cigarettes? Uncle Henry, one of my most
loving and devoted girlfriends smoked four packs a day. I
(05:28):
was with her twice when she tried to quit cigarettes.
She was not able to because of the withdrawal symptoms.
She had been smoking since she was a teenager, and
she smoked right up until lung cancer took her out
of this world. If they want to take care of
a major public health hazard, banned cigarettes for goodness sakes, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It doesn't. It isn't it odd that they have made
it more and more socially unacceptable as years go by,
but never fully ban it. Guess there's too much money
in it.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Bert, exactly.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
That's one thing, Uncle, Henry. I'm going to give a
shout out to the Seper Club, where I've played a
couple of times this year. They do not allow smoking
inside the club. They have an outdoor patio.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
Wa can go out and do that.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
But the main topic of my cost today, Henry, is
the one little ray of sunshine that goes into effect tomorrow.
Not here, but in the state of Florida. They have
banned fluoridation of water supplies. Governor de Santis, who I
will support next time he runs for president, said that
(06:37):
it violates the principle of informed consent. Well, I wish
somebody had said that eighty years ago when they first
do it, started doing this stuff. The very principle of
mass forced medication is absolutely anti American. First of all,
it only works when it touches your teeth, not when
(06:57):
it's when it's consumed internally. It does a lot more
harm and good and flooride isn't just about every brand
of toothpaste now, so it's been completely unnecessary for about
the last forty years. If you want fluoride on your teeth,
you can choose those brands that have it. And I've
even heard doctors and medical professionals say that that's just
(07:19):
the beginning. They want drugs and vaccines added to water supplies.
Uncle Henry, Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I've heard. I've heard other things like that.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I've also heard that fluoridated water allegedly lowers IQ Have
you heard that it does a.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Lot more than those It causes your body to accumulate aluminum,
which causes Alzheimer's. So Uncle Henry, way to go. Florida,
Alabama should follow suit immediately.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
All right, Hey, before we're out of time, when is
the next time you're playing live somewhere so people can
see you.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
We played live a couple of weeks ago at Club Cebral,
and it's probably gonna happen again when it When it does,
I'll either let you know on Facebook or I'll let
you know on the radio.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Please do.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
A lot of my old friends and family showed up magnificent.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Night, so it was called it's called Rip Van.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Rock, Rip Van Rock. That's the man named.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
All right, well, let us know keep me informed so
we can find out about this. I know a lot
of listeners would love to see you.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
I certainly will, Henry, and thank you for taking McCall.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Thank you for listening, Thank you for calling Bert, Bert
doing well. Glad to hear Bert doing well and out
playing gigs, which is a slang term listener for a
band's job at a at an establishment when they play music,
they call it a gig. Back after the break on
(08:57):
the Uncle Henry Show, Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seventy
(09:27):
ten WNTM, it is five twenty news headlines coming up
in ten minutes from Fox ten. We'll have Lenise Lagone
delivering headlines this evening along with Fox Radio National News
telephone number, here's two five one four seven nine two
(09:48):
seven two three. That's two five one four seven nine
two seventy two three. Got some callers waiting to talk.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Hello, Color Collo, Henry LD, the Mad Trucker Man.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
I just got a few things to say other than
love the retirement life good.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
I cannot believe how great it is.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Wonderful. Hey, how's your sleep schedule?
Speaker 7 (10:10):
I've got I'm back on.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I'm back on thing.
Speaker 10 (10:12):
I go to bed about now and wake up about six.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
I'm ready to roll.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Roll.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (10:18):
I just passed the Connie Hudson signed with a light
on it and the light lickoring. It's just like I said,
low energy, low energy. But that's not why I call it.
Governor me mal is going to ban the hemp flower.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Huh.
Speaker 10 (10:32):
But I can see she's not banning seagum seven or
Crown Royal or anything like that, because the liquor lobby
must be in her back purse. But I'm sick of that.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
Uncle.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Let people smoke the weed.
Speaker 10 (10:45):
If they want to smoke the weed, let them smoke
the weed. What's the big deal about this?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, why don't we have to do? We want a
population that's all high, all the time. How are we
gonna get anything done if everybody's stoned all around here?
Speaker 10 (10:59):
Everybody walking around, I want a suppository in them, a
gelatinous cube shoved in a bad spot.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, you know that's from Medica and he hung up. Well,
come on now, seriously, what is going on in this
country where from coast to coast it seems like one
of the top goals of Americans now are to leave reality.
They want to leave reality whatever way they can. They
want to watch trash on Netflix. They want to get
(11:27):
virtual reality video games so that they can pretend they're
inside the computer. I don't know what you're doing inside
the computer talking to little Italian men on mushrooms. What
is it? What's the matter with America that America doesn't
want to live in reality? Do you realize how we
look back through history and see how great we've got
(11:50):
it now compared to the way it was one hundred
years ago, two hundred years ago. Why do Americans want
to escape reality so badly that they all want to
legalize every drug and be out of their mind, stoned, drunk, high, inebriated,
whatever it is they want to be that twenty four
to seven days, twenty four hours a day, seven days
(12:12):
a week. Why is this? What has happened? What has
going on in our national consciousness that has made everybody
hate reality? When if you look, if you look at
it now compared to two hundred years ago, one hundred
years ago, look how great we've got it. Look at
life for the average American one hundred years ago versus now,
(12:38):
way better. I mean, the flush toilet thank you for that.
A lot of people didn't have indoor plumbing one hundred
years ago. A lot of people didn't have the didn't
have a refrigerator and air conditioner. Why are people wanting
to get high and escape? What are you escaping from?
(12:59):
Is that you not not? Not enough people are liking
your posts on Facebook? Not enough people liked my post
I need to go buy some flower. You gonna get
some flower lighted up.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
L D called in about this. If you now, if
you're if you're a person that doesn't have this strong
desire to be out of your mind stoned all the time,
you won't know about this. But there's a a bill
goes into effect, a law goes into effect UH tomorrow
statewide that makes it a felony to have this HEMP
(13:39):
that's allegedly low THC. And it's already it's already got
lawsuits for it. Let's see, I've got the story here.
Here's a brief story about protests. There was a bunch
of people protesting Saturday in Montgomery, UH, protesting about that's
(14:00):
going to effect. Here's the story on this.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
House Bill four forty five. It's just days away from
going into effect today. A smokeout was held on the
Smokeout Capital steps in protests. The bill will regulate hemp
sales in Alabama and band smokable hemp products and high
potency gummies. Today protesters say they are inhaling freedom.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And see they are inhaling freedom, all right. Number one,
if you want to persuade me to be on your side,
drop the dope smoking puns.
Speaker 11 (14:29):
A note to the bill. During the protests and demonstrators
wrote letters on how the bill will impact them and
say why they are opposed to it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
It does.
Speaker 12 (14:41):
It benefits so many things in life.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
All right, here we go. It benefits so many.
Speaker 12 (14:47):
Things, industrial medical, you know, just as a user myself
against PTSD, there's so many benefits. You know. There's not
one depth strictly from cannabis. You can't say that for alcohol.
You can't say that for big farmer.
Speaker 11 (15:06):
All right, So no, not one death goes into effect
on July first.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
No one death from cannabis. All right. Well, I don't know.
I mean they're there. I think the jury is out
on that because there because it's been so highly illegal
throughout the country, there hadn't been as much study of
cannabis smoking as a studying tobacco. But as far as
(15:32):
people getting getting high and driving, I'm sure there's unfortunately
somebody that has lost their life from something like that.
Now there's already been a lawsuit filed. Let me go,
I've got that story for you as well. Let's see,
here is the Hemp lawsuit story.
Speaker 13 (15:51):
Hemp companies have filed a lawsuit against Alabama Governor k
Ivy at Attorney General Steve Marshall following the new House
Bill four four five. Well, the law bans smokeable hint
products and high potency gummies, criminalizing possession or sale of
certain synthetic THC products in the state of Alabama. Well,
(16:12):
the suit claims that the bill goes directly against a
twenty eighteen federal Farm bill at a commerce clause in
the US Constitution. Tritt and Garman with the Alabama Cannabis Coalition, Well,
he agrees.
Speaker 14 (16:25):
It makes our business industry and sabbing this look poor,
lacking intellect, and lacking proud it because it tells other
states you can't even legally transport this hint through our state.
Speaker 13 (16:40):
Additionally, this suit claims that the exclusion provisions within the
bill are unconstitutional constitutionally vague. They claim the bill is
being enacted with little warning, with vague definitions on what
hint products even are, and doesn't give the average person
a chance of understanding what's legal.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
And that's not all right. Well, I think a lot
of average persons already have already called in and realized
what is illegal and not legal. Here, by the way,
a little note on protesting, because I saw the video
with the story about these these the pro dope smoking
protesters in the Capitol. Remember that when you're out in
(17:24):
public protesting something, the way you dress and look is
kind of it's going to affect how persuasive you are.
I didn't hear what one protester was saying in the
video because of her She was running a tank top
(17:44):
with numerous all these different wild tattoos and things. Hard
for me to pay attention to what the protest was
about because of the lack of serious dress. Uncle Henry
(18:12):
show here on News Radio seven ten WNTM. It is
five thirty five. You can also hear me on ninety
five KSJ playing Today's Hottest Country Music Monday through Friday
between ten and two. I want to let you know
(18:37):
on KSJA starting Thursday afternoon. We're going to have a
Fourth of July weekend on ninety five KSJ with patriotic
music and summertime favorite songs and some just some great
throwback music, patriotic music. That's going to start Thursday afternoon
on ninety five KSJ. And then if you're going down
(19:01):
to see the Red Clay Strays, they're in concert July third, fourth,
and fifth at the Wharf in Orange Beach. Look for
me and Shelby from ninety five Cashjay. We'll be down
there Thursday and Saturday for the Red Clay Strays concert.
Two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
The telephone number that's two five one four seven nine
(19:22):
two seven two three email address Uncle Henriet, iHeartMedia dot
Com caller. Hang on just a second. I just want
to tie into something I said right before we went
to break talking about this protest, that a protest in
Montgomery at the Capitol Saturday was a smoke out protest
about this new law going into effect tomorrow about hemp
(19:45):
making these certain forms of hemp illegal to smoke or
even possess in Alabama. Now, I was mentioning the protesters
when I saw in video I thought, well, if you want,
if you want to persuade me, I don't know, maybe
take the protest a little more seriously and not be
dressed like you're going to the laundromat. Because a lot
(20:10):
of the people that were there no offense to them.
I'm not I'm not downing their cause or anything. I'm
just saying they were dressed like they were going to
the laundromat. I mean, if you're when you're protesting, I
think the goal of protesting is to to persuade other
(20:30):
people to come over to your side on an issue.
And so when you protest, I just you might to
be more persuasive. Maybe maybe don't look like you're you're
you're going to the laundromat or going to Walmart right
(20:51):
before midnight. It's just saying no, no, and and God
bless them. Maybe the the hemp smoker didn't have anything
but a tea, a tank top or whatever it was.
And I also saw I saw protesters Saturday when I
was driving down to the wharf for the time of
Shrek concert. I was dry. I went through the Bankhead
(21:13):
tunnel and I saw a small number of elderly protesters
on the side of government street protesting, who knows what.
I can't figure out what they were protesting. One of
these folks was out there sitting in a lawn chair
(21:33):
waving a sign from a lawn chair. Now, look, I
would consider lawn chair protesting. Okay, if you're actually physically
disabled and you cannot stand for your protest. But if
you're dressed like you're and the person was also dressed
like they were going to the laundromat, because all the
(21:54):
good closers need to be washed. If you want to
persuade me to join on your side, to understand your
point of view, be more persuasive. Maybe, if it's important
enough to protest, is it important enough to stand up? Seriously,
if it's important enough to drive all the way down there,
(22:16):
and it's an important enough to that you're gonna stand
down there for two if you're gonna be down there
for two hours with a sign, it's an important enough
to make a sign and you feel passionately is there?
Why do you have to be in the lawn chair?
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Again, if there's a physical malady, maybe you've got gout,
maybe there's maybe there's a knee camp issue, whatever it is.
If you've got a physical malady, that's one thing. But
if you're healthy, don't dress like you're going to the
to wash your all the good clothes are dirty and
you've got I'm wearing this because I'm with the launderman.
(22:48):
Dress at least presentably and take and stand up for
a little while. That's all I'm saying. Remember, you're trying
to persuade. You're trying to persuade. All right, callers, I apologize, Hello.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Collor, Hey Omana, how you doing, Snake Trapper?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
You are live on the radio, Snake Trapper.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Oleanah, I'm gonna try to persuade you.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I'm tired with ld Uh. You know, if a gold
man wants to wants to burn him adobe to each
his own, if that's what he wants to do, then
by all means do it now. Unfortunately, my job for
the past forty years UH does not allow me to
even attempt to try to do something like it.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Now you're saying, unfortunately, this has probably preserved your brain
and that's why you're you've you've you're reaching all this
acclaim as the famous snake trapper. You you do you
think you could remember all them snake facts if you
were stoned out of your.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Mind, Oleannah, I definitely would not want to try to
remove a snake or like I was doing Friday before
I went down to the Sneaky Chicken is try to
remove a a mother out of somebody's attic high. But now,
once I retire and uh able to man, I don't
(24:08):
know that I won't dabble in a little bit of
it and by no means in my four drugs or
anything like that. But but far something like as a
natural plant like uh marijuana.
Speaker 15 (24:20):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
You know, like I said, Man, if a grown man
wants to dabble in a little bit uh to each
his own, you know, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
look at him differently or hold it against you. So uh,
I do believe after I retire from Henry, I may
burn in one. I mean I did it before, you know,
before I started my career when I was a young man.
And uh but uh and then and I got off
(24:42):
of it before it damaged my brain. But when I'm
through using my brain doing what I do, I mean
I may try to run in.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
A little bit man, all right, I never dreamed. I
never dreamed when I started the Uncle Henry Show that
it's that at some point in the future people would
be calling w NTM with their dope smoking confessions. Just
I just never thought this would happen.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh, it ain't something like I would want to do
every day or so, but you know, maybe once a
month or something. Over him, you know, like I said,
when when?
Speaker 6 (25:12):
When?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
When my career is finished? And you know, by no
means would I even attempt to ruin my career over
something like that. But UH shoots him. Man, maybe after
I'm done with it and done with my brain, I
may give.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
It a shot out after you're done with your brain, all.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Right, after I'm done with it.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Brother, all right, well, stick driver, thank you, thank you
for your phone call. I appreciate that. Have a have
a great rest of your day. Hello color.

Snake Trappers shirt on. You will be surprised how many
people that's into snakes trappers and and and and and.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
What he does.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
But what does it for me is that he gave
me a shirt. The fact that snake Trapper not only
deals with animals, but he deals with people where they are.
If you don't a lack of food, he's not gonna
(30:02):
treat you like a food. You and all the people
that I ever met, you know, dealing with you around
the world. I had a white man many years ago
in the nineties, gave me a list of places. He say,
send rhythms to all these places. And uh, I started
(30:29):
getting right after that. He said, a lot of people
don't want you to know, y'all to know about this,
But I started going around the countries. I was in
the Caribbean write off and then then this Afghanistan, Africa, uh,
going Japan, all these different places and and and it's
(30:50):
it's people see people and treat people like people. My
mom always said that the way you at is the
way people going pretty much perceive you. And I just
want to thank you this radio station and the people
(31:11):
that associated with you and mobile that treat people like
they supposed to be treated. It's not that it's racism
and nothing. You got race hustlers, you got everything out there,
but the worst thing that ever happened to black people.
Like my mom said, how you gonna let some white
(31:31):
people tell you about how bad some other white people are.
You better check the white people that's telling you that
you have blood deal and.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
You have a blood state too. Cliff, thank you very much,
very much for what you had to say about me
and mobile, me and the radio station mobile and snake trapper.
Thank you for also revealing that snake trapper very popular
at the Chevron Plant. Snake trapper. You might have to
go do some snake trap in that area. But as
(32:03):
far as people being nice to each other, it's something
that if you look back through history, people there've always
been some horrible people. I mean they're already there. There
have always been some horrible people, and then there's always
going to be some great people that are going to
(32:23):
uh they're going to try to treat you the way
they want to be treated. And we all hope that
we meet those people. We want to meet the the
treat others. Golden rule people, those are the those are
the people we all want to meet. So I'm glad, Cliff,
I'm glad that you've been able to meet your fair
share of Golden Rule type people. They're going to treat
(32:44):
other people the way they want to be treated. But
there's always going to be some great people and there's
always going to be some horrible people until until he
comes back and things get rearranged a little bit. All right,
let's see just about out of time here on the
(33:06):

Uncle Henry Show proceeds. On the final day of June,
(34:44):
it says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you for listening to the Uncle
Henry Show. I appreciate it very very much. When you
listen to this show, you make one my dreams come true.
You do, you make one of my dreams come true
when you listen to this show, because by you listening,
(35:07):
that means I continue to hold a job, and that
is one of my dreams in life, is to hold
a job. In fact, when I was growing up, my family,
my mom and my dad, they had just simple dreams
for me. They dreamed for me. They had, they had things,
they had wished and hoped and dreamed that I would
(35:29):
achieve in life. My parents they dreamed that I would
graduate from high school. Which I did. They dreamed, wished
and hoped that I would move out of the house,
which I did. And they wished and dreamed and hoped
that I would get a job and support myself and
(35:50):
not come to them and ask them for a bunch
of junk. And I was able to do that. I
was able to get out on my own and support myself.
So dream Yes, my parents' dreams have in fulfilled. They
didn't care what I was doing as long as I
was not doing it around their house. And so by
you listening to the show, you help my entire family
achieve their dreams of me being self sufficient enough that
(36:12):
I don't have to go ask my extreme elder family
for any kind of assistance. Now, what can we get
into here in this segment of the Uncle Andrew Show.
I want to learn about a new campaign that is
being launched by the Alabama League of Municipalities. They've launched
something called live Locally Alabama. Now, already, the name sounds
(36:38):
a little odd to me because it's hard to live.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
In.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
How would I not live locally Alabama? If I'm living
here in Alabama? Am I not automatically living locally? Well? Anyway,
The campaign is called Live Locally Alabama, and this is
supposed to incur to deepen your appreciation for where you
(37:05):
live in Alabama. Let's listen together. I've got the story
here from WSFA Television. They're a stepsister station of Fox ten.
Let's find out what is this about Live locally Alabama?
Speaker 2 (37:19):
You live?
Speaker 11 (37:19):
The Alabama League of Municipalities just launched it's Live Locally
Alabama campaign inviting all of us to take a closer
look at the cities and the towns we call home.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Now some no offense, sorry, Enwrich, but some small towns
would probably benefit if you didn't look close. Some you
might have wanted to ask all the cities before you
launched this.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Have USFA twelve new support of Bethany.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
David shows us live this morning in Pike Road and Bethany,
that's just one of the towns asking for people to
live locally. Talk about what that means. Yeah, what does
that mean?
Speaker 15 (37:55):
Well, really, it just means it's asking all of us
to take a little bit of a step back. I
can't recognize how where we live is unique and how
it adds to our lives. Gordonstone is Pike Rose mayor
who also sits on the board the Alabama League of Municipalities.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
And I know, okay, before we hear from this mayor
guy from Pike Road, you heard this. You're encouraged to
step back and just appreciate where you live. Take a
look step back. Do you realize, for example, if you
live in Satsuma, do you realize how magnificent it is?
It really is nice up there. That's on my list
of places I might end up if things go wrong
(38:32):
here and mobile. Have you stepped back and looked at
your communities even if you're on your way to your
house in Macintosh right now? I mean there's a lot
of unique things about Macindo. I mean the word unique
might have been invented for Macintosh. Think about this, all right,
let's listen again. She's this lady reporter Bethany Davis, questioning
(38:52):
the mayor of Pike Road, Alabama, about live locally Alabama.
Speaker 15 (38:59):
Pike Road been very intentional as it grows to make
sure it keeps that quality of life for the people
who live here. Why has that been such a top priority?
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Well, it's one of our four pillars, quality of life.
And it's really when we found it as a town,
people said we love our quality of life. Let's don't
lose that. You know, one of the things that all
our municipalities all four to sixty five have in common
in Alabama is that people chose to live there because
they like the place. And so what we try to
do as mayors and municipalities is is make sure that
(39:29):
we offer people things they can do locally. And that's
what the League and proud to be on the League
board because we have promoted living locally, doing things locally.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
And in Pike Roads.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
You know, we have everything from our Summer Fest, which
we just finished a huge success because people, well, is.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
This something that they're trying to tell us not to
leave on summer vacation. They just want us to stay
here and spend our money here instead of leave engaged.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
And we have our summer series of activities from movie
Nights and our showcase of local businesses is coming up
in July with them.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Then we know back to.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
School programs, homecoming parades, we have our Heybale program which
is one of our favorites, Christmas programs, all kinds of
things so people will get involved and enjoy living locally.
Speaker 15 (40:13):
That's what this is all about, is getting people involved,
and you mentioned a number of things that make the
town of Pike Road unique. What is it that makes
people so involved here? What is it that makes this
place such a special place.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I think it's both intentionality and then kind of an
attitude that develops.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
You know, you's got a wonderful This guy has a
wonderful command of gobbledegook, doesn't he? And they say, hey,
what do you do for the fourth Why do people
like living here? Well, there's a certain sense of intentionality.
All right, build that rep. I'm immediately tuned out when
I heard.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
That tsire within your community because you have these intentional programs.
And that's what live Locally is about statewide is the
League wants to encourage our cities in towns to do so,
and also to remind our people that, you know, sometimes
you don't really have to get the car and go.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
You can look local.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
Most of us have websites, most of us have.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
See again, this is what this is really about us. Hey,
summer vacation, don't leave, spend your money here.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Programs are listed in I'm not against that use letters
or or local district communication pieces. So the campaign and
the reason the board is so excited about this through
the League is that we want to make sure people
know what we have locally. It builds our economies, It
helps strengthen you know.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
By the way, do you even realize what you have
in your town wherever you live? Are you aware of
where you live because you're being asked to live locally?
Speaker 4 (41:35):
Really, it helps strengthen the whole fiber because it makes
people also more aware that local government impacts their lives,
which helps us with programs like support for our fire department,
support in our case for our great Sheriff's department, and
other programs at that type.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
I know that my local government impacts my life every
time I run over an unfilled pothole. Every time I
run over an unfilled pothole, I realized that, yes, my
local government does impact my life.
Speaker 15 (42:05):
It is sometimes easier to see though the uniqueness and
the specialness of a small town. But this Live Locally
Alabama campaign has actually geared towards all municipalities, big or small.
So we'll talk a little bit more this morning about
some ways that we can get involved ways a week
all right.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
I don't not think we will. I think we get
the gist of this Alabama League of me. I wonder
how much of my tax dollar did any of my
tax dollars go to this? The Live Locally Alabama campaign,
which the gist of is a reminding people where they live.
Doesn't that sound like what this is? This is an
effort to remind you, hey, remember where you live and
(42:46):
remember to look around and see if there's anything you
might like where you live. That would be the campaign
Live Locally Alabama. All right, well, I feel so much smarter.
I've learned new gobbledegook about intentionality. All right, coming up,
there is more. Yes, we're going to talk about men's
(43:07):
mental health. Yes, I've got a topic in the next segment,
men's mental health. That and more on the way as
the Uncle Henry Show continues on this fabulous Monday. Let's
take the break. This is the Uncle Henry Show here
(43:40):
on news radio seven ten WNTM. News headlines coming up
in ten minutes. Tomorrow is July one. This is the
last last remaining hours of June, and June has been
Men's Mental Health Month. Men's Mental Health Month in June created.
(44:04):
Let me see, I've got all this information in front
of me here from the gigantic Internet. The Internet says
that Men's Mental Health Month is to raise awareness about
the unique mental health challenges that men face and encouraging
men to seek support. The month highlights the importance of
(44:26):
breaking down stigma, fostering open conversations, and promoting resources for
men's mental well being. Well, I'm in favor of all this.
We have a society from coast to coast in the
United States of people that are losing their minds. You
can see it in the news every day, people losing
their minds. In fact, if you listen to my show,
(44:46):
you can hear me slowly losing my mind through the
course of my career. Now, I thought, before we're out
of time for the Uncle Henry Show in June, I
would have an open conversation about men's mental health. Well,
but I don't have anybody I really have that conversation with.
I do have a caller that used to call the
show for years, a caller named Bill. Bill used to
(45:12):
call in about his mental health, and I thought I
would share with you so that we could have an
open conversation to reduce stigma. A few of his messages
about his mental health. Here's a brief one about his
mental health.
Speaker 8 (45:27):
Thank god I had a nervous breakdown this morning. Uh
like to Craig, worries of anxiety attack when you call
it yes, and wanting things you know, and when you
can't handle no.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
More, you know, right?
Speaker 3 (45:48):
Message deleted?
Speaker 1 (45:50):
All right, Well, so he was there, we were. What
we're doing here is reducing stigma for this. All right,
here's another call from Bill where he goes into great
detail talking about his mental health situation. Again, we're trying
to foster open conversations on men's mental health.
Speaker 8 (46:09):
Hey, Henry, this is Bill. Had a neck problem, a
crick in my neck something all day long. Henri has
finally left.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
Me just now. I apologize this is not this is
not neck health month, but this is this is included
in the mental health discussion.
Speaker 8 (46:25):
Feels so good that this crick is going out of
my neck, Henry. Uh, Henry, you remember I got ass
I've got dropped tiger that ashes all over burning myself.
Oh my good, going down my t shirt. I'm okay there,
get it out there anyway, Henry.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Okay. And again I apologize, this is not a cigarette
safety awareness month. It's men's mental health month. We're now
going to foster open conversations about men's mental health.
Speaker 8 (46:55):
Remember a couple of years ago, I was telling you
there was no hope, Henry, Yes, and you kept telling me, Yeah,
everything's gonna be alright, right, there's always hope. Well, there's
no hope, Henry, there's no hope. And uh, it's two
things you wanted to demand, Henry. If you have a
(47:15):
nervous breakdown. Demand when the paramedics, they are so nice
when they come out, when the last time they come
out to uh take me down for evaluation is what
they call it. I demanded they take a straight jacket out,
a brand new one out of the plastic. I didn't
want one of those so dirty ones you know it's
(47:36):
been used. Demand the uh a new straight jacket. And
also tell 'em that you want a a room where
it's got a wonder you can look out of it.
They've got rooms and with with windows and without wonders.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Henry, yep.
Speaker 8 (47:53):
But uh, what you gotta do, Henry.
Speaker 4 (47:57):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (47:57):
You know, I I've I've studied your program and about
fifty of the people call in there, good people, but
taking they beginning to see the light of day that
you know, we have stepped off into it as a country.
So what do you have to do, Henry, is when
you get mentally getting mental problems, you have to fight it.
(48:18):
You have to fight it, Henry. You have to fight it.
So so good luck, and you've got my number. And
if you need some consultation, consultation, Henry, I'll be more
than glad lead you in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
All right. See this again now, was this was actually
great advice if you ever have to go to an
institution of some kind for mental health issues. He gave
great advice. There's no doubting that. Again. This is to
promote open conversations and break down stigma involving Men's Mental
(48:56):
Health Month so that men will get the care they
need and take care of themselves mentally as well as physically.
Almost out of time, here's one more message from Bill
that is about his mental health for Men's Mental Health Month, Henry.
Speaker 8 (49:12):
Another drug and alcohol free day. I went flying to day.
I got on a back porch and took off and
started flapping my hands and I took off and I
started flying. I just flew all around the neighborhood, look
at everything, and about ten or fifteen minutes later, I
(49:34):
just came back and just lit on the back porch
just slowed it down, just a good landed. I just
want to let you know about the flight I had
today Hanking, all.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
Right, very nice for men Men's Mental Health Month. Let
us raise awareness and get rid of the stigma and
have open conversations. All right, out of time for this
edition the Uncleanary Show. Thank you so much for listening
to The Uncleanary Show. As they say in Fairland, have
a good one. As they say in Theodore, take it
(50:09):
