Speaker 3 (01:58):
It serves The Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you for listening to the Uncle
Henry Show once again. Here we are together, me and
you once again just trying to figure out just the

(02:23):
two of us, what on earth is going on in
the world around us? What is what is going on
in the world around us? If you want to help
me figure it out. You can call place a call
to the program. Two five one four seven nine two
seven two three is a telephone number. That's two five

(02:44):
one four seven nine two seven two three email address
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Feel free to call
in with any just about any topic, as long as
it's not filthy or pornographic or attacking a member of
my family. Now we got so much. I've had so
many things going on today in the national news, especially

(03:04):
to talk about. I'm going to get to a bunch
of this stuff, I hope as the program moves forward.
Now that could be derailed. Anything I have planned could
be derailed by a good phone call with a recipe,
or somebody finding some new emergent jagged deep potholes somewhere.
Anything like that could derail that. But I'll get to

(03:25):
all that stuff. I'll get to a bunch of stuff
as I can moving forward on the program. But I
don't want to mention a couple of things before I
dive into any deep topic. I've noticed over the past
numerous Saturdays that anytime I'm driving through downtown Mobile on
a Saturday, now I see protesters out in front of
government plaza protesting something. I'm assuming they're just protesting because

(03:49):
President Trump is in office, but I'm not exactly sure.
But I keep noticing when I go by the protesters,
I don't know if they're really taking it seriously. Look,
if you're a protester, God bless you. We still allegedly
live in a free country. We have a history of
non violent protests in this country. So you're exercising your

(04:12):
right for free speech and you're gathering and you're protesting.
That's fine, that's wonderful. But do you want to persuade people? Now?
If you're are you trying to persuade me? Do you
want Are you trying to get me to change my
mind on something? Are you trying to get me to
ponder your message? And maybe at the end of the day,

(04:33):
reflect that I saw some protesters, and you know, maybe
these people, maybe these people have a point. Maybe I
need to look into what they're talking about, and maybe
I should research all the things they're saying. They might
have a point. If you're trying to if you're trying
to persuade me, be a little more persuasive and don't

(04:53):
be out there in a lawn chair. Now, if it's
important enough to protest. Ain't it important enough to stand
up about and hold your sign up?

Speaker 8 (05:04):
Now?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I understand if you've got an infirmity, some type of
physical infirmity, because many of us a are ailing in
this country, you get to be a certain agent. Your
body starts breaking down, and you might have to protest
from a lawn chair. But if you're physically able, don't
go sitting out there in a lawn chair holding up

(05:25):
a sign, just just giving half an effort. Come on,
you can be persuasive. Stand up there, hold that sign up,
hold it over your head, don't just have it down
at waste level or something. Put a little gumption into it,
non violently. Let me sitting there in a lawn chair

(05:47):
acting like you're watching your your grandson's horrific soccer game,
or some other boring thing like that, Act like if
it's important enough to go out and protest, an important
to stand up And again, if you're infirm, I understand.
Maybe there could be a special infirm section of protest

(06:07):
that would be even more potent and powerful and persuasive
if you had a special section for people that are infirm,
that have dragged themselves out of their home to protest,
even though they have physical and all kinds of physical problems.
And then for the rest of the people that are
able bodied out there. A lot of times I've mentioned

(06:32):
this before. I drive by as you're out there in
front of the government plaza, and many of you look
like you dressed like you're going to the laundromat, that
all of the good clothes whatever you got, are dirty
and you're in your last clothing and you've got to
go to the laundromat and wash all the good stuff.
Now I understand now if you don't have really nice clothes,

(06:54):
that's one thing. That's Look, we're all at different positions
in life. I've certainly gone through periods of my life
where I didn't have nice clothes or did not care
to want to even go get any. But I'm married
now and I kind of have to wear, you know,
as good as I can. But if you can, please

(07:16):
dress up a little bit better than you have been
because and also if you've got the gigantic unusual facial hair.
The last time I drove by a protest, there was
a guy that he was protesting and his facial hair
was so odd I would struggle now to even describe it.
So if you could just just do a little basic trimming,

(07:40):
And if you're wondering what a basic trimming would look like,
just look at any other look at a person's considered normal,
and then kind of match their facial hair. Look. I'm
just saying, I know it's still allegedly a free country,
and if you want to look like a lunatic, you can,
But please, you want to persuade us, don't you. You
want to persuade me and make me ponder your points
and wonder if maybe you're right. Maybe I need to

(08:02):
be out there with you. Dress a little bit nicer, please,
if you could, and if you don't have much, just
kind of make sure it's clean. And it doesn't cost
much to take a beard that looks like a starfish
or something, or an octopus and then and just take

(08:22):
a pair of scissors and clean it up a little bit.
Just all a mask. And if you want to be persuasive,
there is more to come. I know you're thinking, why, Well,
there is there's more to come. I've got other things
to talk about. There's been some big news stories today
I want to get to and I'll get to them

(08:44):
as I can as the unclandary Show proceeds forward here
on this Friday, Uncle Henry's Show here on News Radio

(09:11):
seven ten WN TIM It's five twenty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes from Fox ten and from Fox
Radio National News. Telephone number if you want to call
the Uncle Henry Show is two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. That's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. Now real quick before

(09:34):
I go into a few topics or news items of
one sort or another. Uh, this Sunday, there's a there's
this big Hiller Bees was in here a week or
two ago talking about this. The Light of Life Festival
is this Sunday out at the grounds and Westmobile. It's
being held indoors so you can be in the air conditioning,

(09:57):
and it's a big event where they're gonna have a
lot of praise music, a lot of churches are involved.
They're gonna have carnival games for kids. They're giving out
free school supplies while supplies last beginning at noon. Also
free back to school haircuts being offered, and they're gonna
have free lunch. I am gonna be out there. I

(10:17):
don't know how long I'll be there, but I am
going to be out there during this event. It's again
from noon to five thirty at the grounds with the
as I said, lots of praise music and stuff. Light
of Life Festival dot Orge is the website Light of
Life Festival dot Orge if you want to find out more,

(10:39):
if you want to go, get the free school supplies,
or the haircut or the barbecue sandwich, or just listen
to the praise music. Meet all the church people, come
see me. That's all going on Sunday starting at noon
at the grounds indoors in the air conditioning. Now, let's see.
One of the big stories today that has emerged is

(11:02):
that the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsa Gabbard. She has
been controversial for the entire time that she's been Director
of National Intelligence. Some people like her, some people don't well,
and some people have wondering what she been up to.
We haven't seen a lot of her lately. What has

(11:24):
she been up to? Well, today she has released some
declassified documents and she's done a lot of this on
the x app. Now if you want to read about it.
Fox News has the story on their website, and now
other news organizations have start to pick up on this.

(11:45):
Let's see what she wrote in her post on X
she wrote, Americans will finally learn the truth about how
in twenty sixteen intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the
most powerful people in the Obama administration to lay the
groundwork for what was essentially a year's long coup against

(12:08):
President Trump, subverting the will of the American people, in
undermining our democratic republic. And she if you want to
look at all of it again, it's on the X app.
She's posted all kinds of documents and without me going
completely in depth on it, she's saying that at one

(12:32):
point there was an intelligence briefing created for President Obama
that claimed that there was no significant Russian interference in
the twenty sixteen election, that he was going to be
briefed on how there was no there was no Russian interference.

(12:56):
This was I think in early December, before before he
left office and Donald Trump came into office. And she
lays out in all these documents how that intelligence briefing
was hijacked and other people jumped in to rewrite it
and claim that Russia did do something and that it

(13:18):
was all a hoax. And she's got all these documents
She's released them for us to all look at, and
she says, well, here, here's another thing. She tweeted today
out on the ex app She said their goal was
to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the people.
No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy

(13:40):
must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of
the law. The integrity of the Democratic Republic depends on it.
We are turning over all documents to the Department of
Justice for criminal referral. Now, many of us have heard

(14:01):
a lot of this before, have heard details of the
meetings a lot of the people involved. But now she's
providing documents that back up all of this. Now, will
anything My question is, will anything actually come of this?

(14:23):
This is being referred to the Department of Justice. I
don't know how. I don't know how you go forward
and actually prosecute former heads of the CIA or for

(14:43):
national directors of national intelligence. It just seems like it
would be very, very difficult to do this. I don't
know how you get people to talk at that level.
How do you get anybody to talk if you are
investigating them, how do you get them to answer question?
On all this? You may have been paying attention to

(15:04):
the investigation that the Congress is doing right now. The
Congress is trying to trying to investigate the cognitive impairment
of Joe Biden when he was president, and they've called
in numerous people who worked at the White House with
Joe Biden, and they've asked him questions behind closed doors,

(15:26):
trying to find out what they can they can get
on whether or not Joe Biden was cognitive cognitively impaired,
and if so, who was making the decisions. All of
the people that they've been questioning have been pleading the
Fifth Amendment. None of them are talking. So I don't know.

(15:49):
I don't know if we're ever going to get whatever
justice Tulca gabbartt is talking about, because she says that
people need to be brought to justice to prevent it
from ever happening again. What if what if President Obama
were implicated in all of this, all these people were

(16:10):
allegedly working for him, that were doing all this. I
don't know that I'm optimistic that justice will be done.
If indeed there's crime here, looks like there is a
lot of documents here to back it up. I don't know,

(16:30):
but I don't know how optimistic I am that anybody
will be brought to justice. Maybe the best we can
hope for is citizens would be as much transparency as
is possible, which is what people have been asking for
on the Epstein thing. I think a lot of people
just want things declassified and unbredacted and just let us

(16:53):
make up our own minds and look at all the documents.
But look for this to be I don't I don't
even know how much the other media is going to
talk about it, the whole all of this stuff, because
a lot of the media, they've won awards, They were

(17:15):
winning awards for their reporting on a hoax. The documents
are coming out proving that it was a hoax. How
much appetite do you think the media has for reporting
this when it shows that they spent years reporting things

(17:36):
that weren't Truecle Henry Show News Radio seventy ten WNTM.

Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot Com. Hello caller, Hello, Uncle.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Henriet is Alabama busauger and investig JATA reporter for al Right.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
He just now, I didn't hang up on him. He
hung up on me. All right, So bush Hog, if
you are listening, feel free to call back. Feel free
to call back bush Hoog. If there's all right, Here
we go with round two. Hello, is this is this
the Alabama bush Hog again?

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Now give her I had rambling in the building and
mess up my telephone conversations. I am your investigator reporter
for Mobile reporting live for you about the Crescent Theatre debacle. Okay, okay,
today I did speak with mister Trey Williams, who is

(19:40):
the manager of the Crescent Theater. Now, I did not
ask him as you suggested that ask him as the owner.
I hated mobile because I think you give me a
life lesson that you do not do character assassination live
or even in France. So on. So that didn't come up.

(20:02):
But he was very informative about the problems and challenges
he's having and keeping the theater open.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, well, what did you learn?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Well, I learned that there's that was never a contrast
signed between the proprietor and the owner. There was never
any real documentation made. I'm not well, I'm not saying
it was a handshake and an agreement. There was some documentation,
but nothing legal that the poor guy, the manager of

(20:35):
the present theater, mister Trey Williams, can stand on. However,
I do have the owner of mister John Tutzer from
Pensacola did contact me today. When we spoke for about
a half hour. He gave me his side of the story,
and we're going to meet for coffee sometime next week

(20:57):
and I'll have a brother update for you. As soon
as I talked to this gentleman.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
All right, well, I don't understand why this is it
why are you even pursuing this? What's going on? Is
the Crescent open or closed?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Well, the president is closed. But do you do you
understand it's a historical site on Glenary. It was established
in eighteen eighty five. I believe it should be on
the historical documents somewhere. It's within the historical Society and
Mobile and just because of its name, just because of
its historic value. A lot of tourists, he says, has

(21:29):
been coming in and a lot of locals and saying,
we're so glad you've opened this place up.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
All right, So but you're is it open? Didn't you
say it's closed? Is it open?

Speaker 9 (21:41):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
So it is closed for this time being. But we're
hoping to work out the challenges and whatever is going
on between the owner and here in Mobile with mister
Tree Williams, the manager, and hoping to get the bottom
of it and straining it all out so we can
get kids back in. Because if you watched the podcast
I did with mister de Trey Williams, he has a

(22:05):
lot of big plans for the youth of Mobile and
get I'm interested in other things and vocations and I
think it's worth worth listening to you.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
All right, so people can see that on the Mobile
Pirate Radio Facebook page.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Correct, you see it on Mobile Pirate Radio Facebook and
Mobile player Radio YouTube.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
All right, well, Bush Hawk, thank you, thank you very
much for your phone call.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
You're quite working. I'm on the scene and road.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Tide on Roll Tide roll Okay. Well, look, I didn't
know anything was going on there one way or the other,
so this is all of this is news to me.
I'm uh. As I mentioned yesterday the LA I went
to the movie theater and saw the new Superman video
game movie earlier this week, but otherwise rarely go out

(22:52):
to the theaters these days. And I'm glad that the somebody
who's trying to do something for the youth of mobile.
I don't know what that would be. I don't know.
If you'd show Tom and Jerry, Tom and Jerry and
Bugs Bunny and three Stooges and Laurel and Hardy. That
would be pretty good if you were going to If
I were, if I were running a theater and I
wanted to do something for the youth of Mobile, I

(23:13):
do three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Tom and Jerry and
Bugs Bunny. That would be pretty much all you need.
But I wish somebody out there, uh, please think about
doing something for the elderly of mobile. The young people
got their whole life to figure something out. The rest
of us that are that are at the other end

(23:35):
of the age spectrum, we don't have a lot of
time left. How about doing something for us? All right,
let me move forward here on the Uncle Henry Show,
now yesterday the news. Uh, maybe maybe somebody has something
further on this issue.

Speaker 10 (23:53):
Hello caller, Uncle Henry L D.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
The mad Tracker.

Speaker 10 (23:57):
I am not going to attack your mother today, are you?

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Oh wow? All right, Well, thank you.

Speaker 10 (24:02):
I want you to know that, thank you. I just
want to know I heard now that this guy seemed
that this guy the investigator, he seemed to be on
top of it. But I heard that the guy that
bought it is going to turn it back into the
Midtown Cinema. You used to go down there all the time,
did you.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
I know I never went to the Midtown Cinema.

Speaker 10 (24:20):
There's a triple X the area. I think I've seen
you down there.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Know you? You never did?

Speaker 8 (24:26):
Right?

Speaker 3 (24:26):
And then he hung up l D. So he didn't
attack my wife or my mother, but LD then implied
that I would go to a Triple X cinema. Now
I can't get mad about that allegation because listeners, even
if listeners don't like me, they know instinctively that no,

(24:46):
I would not go to the Triple X theater. But
isn't it nice that Mobile has moved forward to the
point that we don't have such a thing in downtown Mobile.
We don't have some type of phil cinema. That's good
that we don't have a Field cinema. I'm glad of that.
All right, Let's see what was I going to bring

(25:07):
up before LD's phone call. Yes, I think when is
it in the next few days? It is Shark Week,
and I guess that is a lot of people. Now
I let it. Let me confess that I've never been

(25:28):
a viewer of Shark Week. Now, I am interested in
the world around me. I do think that sea creatures
are interesting, but I've never I've never felt like I
wanted to sit and watch a bunch of TV about sharks.
I think I know all I need to know about
sharks that they want to eat me. They're in the water,

(25:52):
they swim around, and they want to eat me. Teeth,
A sharp I think that's about all I need to
know Sharks. But Shark Week is about to start, and
if you're into that, it's allegedly going to be quite
a big deal this year because this is the fiftieth
anniversary of the release of Jaws, and so if you're

(26:16):
into that, expect a lot of extra I don't know.
I don't even know what the extra shows. I don't
know how you do. What new things can they think
of to do with sharks after doing Shark Week all
this time? But I do I do like. I do
like the fact that we're at that fiftieth anniversary of Jaws,

(26:39):
and I was I was remembering reflecting on Jaws, both
the book and the movie. If I remember correctly, I
think I read the book as a reader's digest condensed version.
Do you remember the reader's digest condensed versions of books?

(27:01):
Do they still do that? I thought that was a
wonderful idea. I read a lot of books that were
edited to be more easily digestible in the reader's condensed versions.

(27:21):
You know, the next time I go to yard sales
and thrift stores, I think I'm going to start looking
for some readers digest condensed books. Back with more. I've
got more after the break Uncle Henry's Show. It is

(27:54):
five point fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes
before we get there. A little bit more Uncle Henry's
Show here. Now, the news was out yesterday that CBS
Television has decided to get rid of the late show

(28:15):
TV show that comes on at ten thirty after the
ten o'clock news. Now, for years that was David Letterman,
and he was replaced by the truly disgusting Stephen Colbert,
and they're canceling that show. They're they're not replacing Colbert,
they're canceling the entire franchise. They're getting rid of it,

(28:38):
saying that that has lost a lot of money, saying
it's strictly financial. Well, I did get a voicemail on
this topic from RT. Let's listen together to RT, calling
in about this.

Speaker 8 (28:52):
Hey, good afternoon, Uncle Henry's This is RT. Hey, I
understand we lost one of our late night television propaganda
host and they're talking like he's been fired in everything.

(29:14):
I was wondering, do you have a contract that allows
you to get fired but you can work for the
next ten months?

Speaker 3 (29:24):
And yeah, but yeah, if you didn't see that story
or didn't care about it. The guy is going to
stay on the air until May of next year, plenty
of plenty of time to say goodbye and bash Trump
every day between now and May.

Speaker 8 (29:37):
We'll probably pay you a nice severance package and everything,
even though you're fired. I've never I don't understand that.
I wish our local CBS affiliate will go ahead and
pull them off the air. I don't think they're allowed to,
but I wish they would. If they would show eighty

(29:58):
Griffith ree runs, I'll start watching them. Yeah, I'm away.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
That would that would do better?

Speaker 8 (30:06):
Anyway, I've never heard of you know. That just baffles me.
You get fired, but you could still work for the
next ten months. Anyway. It's just interesting. You know what,
if our incumbent president loses an election and we need

(30:28):
we just telling us start packing immediately. I mean, I
would think so if you're an incumbent president, I can
understand waiting to January otherwise, But if you're an incumbent president,
wouldn't that be nice? Pack your bags and get out immediately.
That's how most people get fired. That's how I have

(30:50):
always been fired. I've been fired a couple.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Of times, but.

Speaker 8 (30:55):
Anyway, I just don't like it. Maybe I hope our
CBS station we'll get rid of them the Center. Maybe
that could happen. Anyway, have a great day, Roll Tie,
Roll Tied, roll RT.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Thank you for calling in. Yeah, I agree that Andy
Griffith reruns would probably do better than that program with
local viewers. But I tell you, we've those of us
that have been part of that have been alive during
the ascendancy of television and now are seeing television kind

(31:30):
of go by the wayside and be replaced by internet streaming.
We've seen several forms, very very popular forms of television
go just about extinct, like the soap opera. There used
to be soap operas on TV. All the major networks, ABC, CBS,

(31:51):
NBC would have soap operas on during the day. That
is practically gone. I don't know that that exists anymore.
So maybe there's a few left, but that's gone. That's
something that is gone. And I guess the late night
talk show, the style of Johnny Carson, I think that

(32:13):
is that is kind of dying slowly and will be gone,
maybe even before I'm gone myself on the planet, I
really and that is a form of entertainment that I
really enjoyed. I really enjoyed watching Johnny Carson and in
similar shows, and I've been sad kind of over the

(32:35):
past several years that those kind of shows really don't
exist anymore because they have been so highly highly politicized,
to the point that half the audience is completely thrown away.
They really don't want you to watch if you're of
a certain political bent. I miss I missed the type

(33:00):
of show that Carson did, Leno did that both political
parties would get made fun of, and the personal views
of the host weren't the primary thing that drove the show.
But that's extinct now. I guess it's a shame, because

(33:23):
I really did enjoy watching all that stuff, and from
time to time I do head on over to YouTube
and watch some old Johnny Carson. I even watch. I've
even been known to look in every now and again
on some old MERV Griffin or Mike Douglas, although those
are not nearly as good. RT. Thanks again, and I'm

(33:47):

involved with for Monday. So if you don't have plans
Monday evening, you're gonna want to pay attention to what
Mary's going to tell you before we get to that. Though. Yeah,
I was at the doctor's office this week. I had
to be there for about two hours and forty five minutes. Wow,

(35:10):
And I listened to your station. They were playing mix.
Oh yeah, I got to just have a question about
it mix because I was listening. I listened to Mixed
for two hours and forty five minutes.

Speaker 7 (35:19):
Bless your heart.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
And I'm in there and I'm hearing I'm hearing Karma
Chameleon oh yeah, my boy George and Culture Club and
then a few minutes later, here comes the police. With
every breath you take? Has there not been any good
music since the eighties?

Speaker 7 (35:35):
Oh we've got luck, you have.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
What's going on with this eighties music?

Speaker 7 (35:38):
We've got shaboozie. We've got all kinds of things. It's
the best variety of the eighties, nineties and today. So
we got a little bit of everything. So if you're
listening at work, you've got you know, everybody at work.
It's something they like. It's a mix of all genres
and it's clean. So you can have kids in the car.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
If I live, If I live an they're fifteen years
will will the eighties stuff start to leave mix?

Speaker 7 (36:04):
Oh? Probably?

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Okay, I just want to check. I thought, what decade
is this?

Speaker 7 (36:09):
I don't think I'll still be around. But boy George,
well I've been there twenty eight years.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Who knows in that's something twenty eight years on the
same station. Congratulations, see you for that. That's in a company.
There should be I don't know.

Speaker 7 (36:20):
I'm in there.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
There needs to be longevity awards. I'm still there now. Mary,
tell me what are you doing Monday night? What is
this event Monday night.

Speaker 7 (36:30):
Okay, Now, this is a fun event for a great cause.
It's called Cheers to Children with Grace and it's at
Grace on Dolphin Street.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah, nice place.

Speaker 7 (36:40):
Oh, it's great. And they're gonna be cooking up a
whole bunch of orderous and they're gonna have a wine
tasting and there's gonna be a live auction and it's
all to benefit the Child Advocacy Center of Mobile. This
is a huge fundraiser for them. I am involved with
them with these events this time of year and also
at Christmas they do especially event like this, and this

(37:02):
brings it a whole lot of money to help a
whole lot of kids at the Child Advocacy Center because
most of us don't want to think about how many
kids are dealing with abuse and what the families have
to go through. But the Child Advocacy Center provides a
place where abuse children and the family, the rest of
their family, not the abusers, can get counseling, can meet

(37:25):
with police and law enforcement and lawyers and know what
to expect from the process, you know, going through court
and everything like that. And it's a very safe place.
They have you know, rooms designed for children of all ages,
teens and younger, and it's just it's a wonderful place
to help them through a horrible time.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yeah, the people the Child Advocacy Center are helping people,
and this is one of the It's got to be
one of the toughest things to have to face every
day hearing all those stories, because the stories must be
heartbreaking of what people do with kids these days.

Speaker 7 (38:02):
I know, I know, and most of us don't want
to think about it exactly.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
We we're glad they're there. We don't want a lot
of details, but we're glad that they're there. We know
the work is incredibly important.

Speaker 7 (38:11):
And the thing is you can help with that work. Yes,
going out and having fun, I mean, what's wrong with that.
That's a great way to do a really good thing.
These tickets are only fifty dollars, and when you talk
about a wine tasting and the ordures at Grace, fifty
dollars is not at all.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
I was about to say, this is a great price
for that experience at Grace.

Speaker 7 (38:33):
Yeah, Plus there's live music. Harrison McInnis plays and I'm
going to be part I'll be MCing, but I'll also
be keeping Matt McCoy in check when he does the
live auction because he gets so excited what people are
bidding on. But they have so many great packages to
bid on. And iHeartRadio actually contributed some Parker McCollum tickets
for wonderful all the packages of Balwi County package. And

(38:55):
when you talk about the fact that these are packages,
first of all, the volunteers with a child a Center,
they do things right. All of these packages are in
nice little baskets and you can see all the things
and they've decorated them and everything. But they've got cool
things in there, like what well, Okay, so the Baldwin
County package has one night at the Hampton End in
Fair Hope, a twenty five dollars grace card. They've got

(39:18):
the uh oh. There's also twenty five dollars to Sunset Point.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
Okay, and there's such another great restaurant.

Speaker 7 (39:24):
And this is so hard for me because I'm having
to pronounce things like Chateau Bordeaux. Well, that's a little
fancy than when I drink. And plus the tickets to
Parker McCollum. Yeah, all of that's in one package. And
there's just one of ten packages you can bet On.
So the fun part is getting there early at six
and then going around and checking out all of the

(39:45):
packages to see what's in there. My daughter decorated her
house with one of these packages because there were like
five pieces of art in one of them. So she
has an exquisite living room decorated from one of these
packages and help the child advocacy center. You can't go
wrong with that.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Can you tell us about one or two more packages?
Any details on them?

Speaker 7 (40:06):
Okay, well, there's the sports package.

Speaker 3 (40:08):

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (40:46):
So there's a lot in that one package.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
By the way, I do have to point out for
the listener Steve Spurrier, Alabama's coach. Mike Dubos beat Spurrier
twice in one season. I just want to mention that
we all know what we think of Mike Dubos.

Speaker 7 (41:01):

you need to probably head back over to mix and
play some culture.

Speaker 7 (42:50):
Club along with some Michael Jackson and all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
All right, let's take the break, It says the Uncle
Henry Show, News Radio seven ten WNTM. News headlines coming

(43:19):
up in ten minutes before we get there, a couple
of news items for you. Now, here's some good news,
at least for me. I don't know if you like
eating eggs, but I do. I like eating eggs, and
egg prices keep going down. Here's a report on the

(43:40):
eggs from a stepsister station of Fox ten WBrC in Birmingham.
They actually did a report on egg prices going down.
So let's listen together.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
May have noticed you're saving a little bit more at
the grocery store compared to a few months ago. After
setting record price high is in March, the cost of
eggs has now gone down for three straight months.

Speaker 6 (44:04):
It went off for brunch this morning.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
Maybe that's why my omi tasted a little bit better.
You're report of Brady Talbert on your side with why
this is?

Speaker 3 (44:10):
This guy was on my side earlier this week about
hot pavement, how you you need to touch the ground
before you walk on it to make sure you don't
hurt you sow you remember that was that was a
couple of days ago. All right, he's still on our side.

Speaker 6 (44:23):
This is a dropping Brad. Yeah, this is the news
breakfast lovers like you. Steve baker's and business owners have
been waiting for. But while you're probably already seeing a
drop at the grocery store, it may take a little
longer for some of you who choose to dine in.

Speaker 9 (44:35):
Economically, We'll always take some good news, right, And I
think this gets lost a lot of times with.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Like we're listening to an assistant professor from UAB here.
This is a long haired, bearded professor type chaos great.

Speaker 9 (44:51):
We focus on bad news and ever the good news.
So I'm excited that we're doing a story on good.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
News, some good news. After some tough conversations. When egg
price is shot up earlier here, local business owners made adjustments.

Speaker 7 (45:02):
I'm thinking about raising chickens at this point.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Well, we investigated how to actually do it.

Speaker 9 (45:08):
You definitely want to cope and you want a predator prefit.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
But for three straight months, egg prices have decreased. After
reaching a record high of six twenty three a dozen
in March, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the
average price of a dozen eggs is now just three
seventy seven.

Speaker 9 (45:26):
The answer why is actually pretty simple.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Supply and demand. You ab assistant professor.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
Of ECON isn't it nice that there's somebody out there
to explain just the basics of life. Of course, we're
not learning it anywhere else. I guess these days it
now has to come. We have to actually learn about
it here. On a TV news show.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Nomi's Been, Meadows says the Avian flu outbreak made prices sore.
There weren't enough eggs to meet demand, so.

Speaker 9 (45:52):
Prices climbed up. And that's where you saw some fast
food and like breakfast chains do like egg fees on
their entrees. This was to reflect that they knew this
wasn't gonna be permanent.

Speaker 8 (46:04):
Right.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
While the Avian flu outbreak is now behind us, Meadow says,
not all restaurant chains will feel led to bring their
egg prices down, at least not immediately.

Speaker 9 (46:13):
It's more expensive for me to make an omelet if
I'm a breakfast chain, so I have to raise prices
as egg prices go up. But if I find that
consumers are okay with paying for that omelet at a
higher price, I'm not gonna lower prices that quickly until
I feel like there's a pressure to do so.

Speaker 6 (46:31):
Fittingly, he described this economic phenomenon as up like a rocket,
down like a feather because business owners want to make
a profit.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Of course, this is on a case by case basis.

Speaker 6 (46:41):
Waffle House, for example, has already ended its fifty cent
egg up chart.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
All right, so that is good news that the eggs
are going down, and I'm glad. I'm glad that we're
getting really dumb down basics from TV news. Somebody needs
to provide it, you know. I might need to start
doing teaching segments here on the Uncle Henry Show, just
basics of life, like how to address an envelope, so

(47:07):
a lot of hey, some people don't know how to
do it that nobody taught them. In fact, I've encountered
people in their twenties that they struggle to make a
phone call. If they need to call a business, for example,
and talk to somebody, they really struggle on a telephone.

(47:29):
I've noticed this with some young people. So I might
have to start teaching the young as part of my
final leg of my career, teaching the young here on
the radio. Just have to find some young people that
we can force to listen to this. All right, before
I'm out of time, here is a report from Fox
News about fast food restaurants. Somebody decided to list the

(47:53):
most unhealthy fast food chains. So if you're looking for
health when you go to get double cheeseburgers, pay close
attention to this report from Fox News.

Speaker 11 (48:06):
World Atlas reviewing the nutrition data of items at major
fast food chains, ranking Wendy's as the most unhealthy. According
to the report, those eating a triple baconator meal with
large fries and a medium frosty are consuming more than
twenty one hundred calories, exceeding most daily limits.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
Hey, think about the idea of the triple Baconator, a
sandwich that is three three beef patties and bacon and
stuff on there, triple baconator. Imagine taking that meal into
a time machine, back into a McDonald's or something in

(48:43):
nineteen sixty one. Ors just nobody ordered anything like that
back then. You know, I know that's a shock thought
to a lot of people. But back in the day,
a regular sized burger was considered enough. But now Americans,
we want triple baconated food.

Speaker 11 (49:01):
Wendy's Wrap tells Fox Business, We're proud to offer a
diverse range of fresh, iconic menu options that can be
customized to suit our fans' unique lifestyles and preferences. Yeah
Sonic ranked second with its cheeseburger combos and medium tots
at a large cherry limead hitting sixteen hundred calories in
three thousand milligrams of sodium. Taco bell in third, followed
by Dairy Queen, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Quiznos, McDonald's, Smashburger, Little Caesar's,

(49:26):
and Chick fil A.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
Well, when I go to those places, I'm not necessarily
looking for I'm not looking for a healthy meal. I'm uh,
I'm looking for I don't know if I'm looking for
food or entertainment anyway, out of time. Thanks for listening,
as they say in Sarahland, have a good one, as
they say in Theodore, take it easy

Speaker 7 (49:49):
All right Later
