Radio sevent ten. You can also find the Uncle Henry
Show on YouTube. Look for the Uncle Henry Show on YouTube.
(02:41):
Once again. Here we are together, me and you trying
to figure out what is going on? What is going on,
what is going on in the world around us, What
is happening to people these days? You got any ideas
on a two five one four seven nine three. That's
two five one four seven nine two seven two three
(03:03):
email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Here we are on a Friday,
on the precipice of a weekend. As what Willy has
taught us through the years by living in Mobile Wet
Willy through their song Weekend, We've been taught weekend, do
what you want to do weekend when your working days
(03:27):
are through weekend, weekend, weekend, weekend, weekend, And here we
are on the precipice of a weekend. Many things going
on this weekend. We can talk about all that kind
of stuff as the show continues, but there are many
things to get to as usual here on the Uncle
Henry Show again the number two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. Now before I talk about
(03:49):
other things, and there's many things that can be both good, bad,
and ugly to talk about. UH, very disappointed today with
the Congress of the United States they had a resolution,
just a simple resolution to honor the life and legacy
(04:09):
of Charlie Kirk, who, as you are aware by now,
I'm sure, was assassinated, was murdered. And if you live
in Mobile, your Congressman Chamari Figures voted against this. Your
your Mobile Alabama Congressman Chamari Figures voted against a resolution
(04:32):
honoring the life and legacy of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk.
So that's if you just in case you were wondering
what kind of how will this is the first term
for Shamari Figures, what can you expect from him in
Congress representing Mobile? And we've been told how amazing he is,
He's just an amazing guy. Well, this will be the
(04:55):
first thing I remember when I when I think back
and how this first term has gone for him. Uh
And as you're aware, the the the lines were drawn
in this particular district to make sure that a Democrat
would be in there and hang in there. So I
guess the first of his many terms. I don't I
(05:16):
don't know, I don't know. I can't predict the future.
But you know how it is, once you're in Congress,
it's hard to get you out of there. So he
has decided he voted no. You voted against it, along
with a Representative Terry Sewell of Birmingham, two Democrats, Alabama's
two Democrats Democrats in the House of Representatives voting no
(05:39):
on honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. So
kind of a disappointment that that is, uh, if you're
if you just it's answered some questions for me, because
you when you have a new congressman in there, you
wonder how they're going to go and clearly going to
(06:00):
stick with the National Democrats and go along with whatever
it is that they want to go along with. So
many people also disappointed in it around the state. Now,
will that disappointment translate into any difficulty in him getting
re elected? Probably not, probably not, but still a disappointment
(06:25):
and trying to figure out under what circumstances you could
get somebody else into that particular unusually drawn seat or
the House of Representatives. But that's not the only thing
going on. We got many other things going on that
you may consider positive coming up. Going to go to
(06:46):
some voicemail in the next segment of the show that
does tie into the mayor's race in mobile trying to
think of I don't want the first segment of the
show to have that kind of a you know, that
vote from Shamari figure, such a negative and nasty kind
of vote. What positive can I have for you here
(07:07):
in the first segment of the program. Well, there's an
activity tomorrow going on in South Alabama, the Alabama Coastal Cleanup,
going on from eight to noon at various locations beaches, streams, rivers,
anywhere there's water where people go out. You may have
participated in this in the past. I have where you
(07:29):
go and you clean up the waterways. You get all
the litter in the trash out of the waterways. This
is a big effort. We got details on it at
NewsRadio seven to ten dot com. If you want to
find a cleanup zone near you and join some people
tomorrow picking up litter from the beaches, the streams, the rivers,
(07:51):
whatever body of water you might be near, whatever stream
you might be near. The most interesting thing to me
through the years with the Alabama Coastal Cleanup has been
some of the odd things they people have found. Now,
in the last few years, I don't remember news reports
about that, but for a number of years every year,
(08:13):
reporters would report on weird things they would people would
find just happen to find different stuff as they're trying
to clean up the beaches. I guess now the main
takeaway would finding out what really are the most popular
brands of beer and drunk people seltzers, because you're gonna
(08:35):
find these people are going to find a lot of
beer cans, a lot of liquor bottles. So the people
at the Alabama Coastal Cleanup will have a better indication
of what are the most popular beers, seltzers, and liquors
in our community. I hope somebody will compile a report
(08:55):
for us again Alabama Coastal Cleanup tomorrow. Right back with
but first, got to take a break more Uncle Henry Show.
After the break from the spring.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seven ten wnt M. It is five twenty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes. Telephone number if you want
to call the Uncle Henry Shows two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. That's two five one
(09:37):
four seven nine two seven two three.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
Hello caller, Hey over Henry, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Snake Trapper snake Trapper, you are live on the radio.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Hey Elver Hendry, I've seen a wonderful piece today from
my miss Sarah Wall at Fox ten.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah that now. I'm sorry to interrupt you already, but
I just I sent this the snake Trapper on Facebook.
Sarah Wall of Fox ten went on their website today
and did some lengthy snake segment. Now, Snake Trapper, why
do you think they would wait until almost the end
of September to do a snake segment?
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Well, Uncle Henry, like she stated in that little segment, we
are at the height of for activity for snakes in
our area. I did a lot of things going on.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I didn't know that. What now, why are we at
the height of snake activity?
Speaker 8 (10:33):
I'm Henry. For one reason, all the snakes that do
lay eggs, their eggs are starting to hatch, and the
ones that basically hatched eggs, like the pitt Burgers before
they're younger born, Uncle Henry. There that's going on, and
the cool weathers starting to move in, and they also
know that they're fixing apps start fattening up to get
(10:58):
ready to bed down for winter. Man She did a
wonderful peace I wish you could share that with the
snakes for page on Henry. I tried doing it, and man,
I'm not at tech savvage. But she described about the
different types of venomous snakes we have in our area, uh,
the non venomous snake.
Speaker 9 (11:17):
Man.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
She she did a wonderful job, uncle, Henry, and I
would love for that to be shared on that page
so anybody could take a look at it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Okay, well I will see. I'll trying to help you
figure out how to do that. But yeah, how wasn't
it like isn't that something like an eight minutes or
it's a long thing that she did on snakes.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
It was very long over Henry, And she's told about
the best way to identify the snow venomous snakes in
our area is basically by the color of the snake
and the shape of their heads and their eyes. It's unmistaken.
Once you realized what snakes we have in the area,
it's easy. She also describe how you don't need to
(12:01):
actually catch and kill the snake that bites you carry
it to the emergency room because all of the pit
vipers around here are all hemo talks and so the
one anti venom that they give you on entery the
medicine that it works for all of them except for
(12:22):
coral snake because she described it that is a neurotox
and that snake's venom. So it's very important if you
are bit by one, you need to be able to
identify the color the snake and you know, they know
if it's red and yellow and black, and they know
that it's the coral snake. And what type of anti
(12:43):
venom to give you to wear the anti venom for
the pit vipers like your copperheads, your cotton mouths, and
your rep snakes. That one anti venom works for three
of them type of snakes.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Wow, Okay, So lots of lots of heavy duty snake
info there from Sharah Wall at Box ten.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Henry. She done a wonderful job. Was very informative on it.
Uh man. I mean I wish I could extend how
the snake world worked as eloquent as she did on Henry.
She did a wonderful job. Like I said, man, if
you can share that with the snare up of age
and uh, you know people, we check it out.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Man.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
She she did the snake world of justice for doing that.
And she also stated, don't kill them just with the snakes.
Somebody tagged me in identification snake video want to meet
identifying and you know, and I let them know that
it was a cotton mouth to leave it alone and
stay away from it. And man, it just blowed my
mind to people that chimed in and wanting to shoot
(13:46):
it with a ordin beat it to boberine, you know,
all because it's a snake, and help it, and it
does have a right to life. Now, if you get
one this large and it's menacing your area or something,
by all means, harvest a snake, but definitely don't kill
something just because of what it is unless you intend
indeed it then by all means take and have you
(14:06):
a fine meal out of it.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You know, you should do a snake cooking another snake
cooking contest or something and have Sarah wall as one
of your guests. Wouldn't she make a great judge for
like eating snake.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
She would make a great judge on Henry and I
do have fillers out there for anybody that catches one
of them timber ratlers, which is one of the ones
that she talked about. Most people call them cane breaks,
but timber Ratler is also a name for them. They're
probably one of your best eating snakes out there on
they're beautiful white meat. They actually get between five and
(14:41):
six feet long, so there's plenty of meat there on them.
But yes, sir, I would love to cook her up
some snakes.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
All right, will snake trap or anything else?
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Oh that's in on, Henry. I just let people be
aware that when you're walking through the woods, definitely pay
attention because you know, like she said, we are at
the height. So this is the time of the year
where if you're going to see one in the wood
or in the stream or in the creek, it is now.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
All right, snake trapper, have a great.

Who's paying you? That's what I want to know. That's
what I want to know. Who is paying LD to
do this? This has got to be some kind of
operation to derail, to derail this, to somehow drive me
off the air, delegitimize the program. There's gotta be somebody
paying who's paying you?
Speaker 7 (17:03):
LD?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You know these calls didn't start happening then until it
got close to him quitting trucking. And I can remember
years ago this guy LD, then the mad trucker, would
call this show and he would scream about his four
oh one k being destroyed. You remember back when President
Obama was president and everybody's retirement savings were destroyed there
in the first term. This is about money, isn't it.
(17:31):
Somebody's paying him, who's paying you to do this?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
LD?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I just wish I could take LD's I just wish
I could grab his tongue and take some steel wool
to it and clean it, wash my mama's name out
of his mouth. It says the Uncle Henry Show here

email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now let
(18:50):
me go to a voicemail that came in this afternoon.
Speaker 9 (18:55):
Bu Fata, hope your Friday afternoon is going well.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
Thanks is once again as I do on a daily basis,
while the weather is still permitting sitting out here enjoying
it on the front porch. Uncle, A couple of things
I wanted to run by you. First of all, I
don't know if you've seen it yet or not. I
sent you a link thing, excuse me, a link thing.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I sent a link thing to Snake Trapper earlier. That's
what I guess men my age do that we send
each other link things.
Speaker 9 (19:32):
About the Barbara Drumming deal.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh now, what was it? This was a link thing
about the barbar drumming deal.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
Link thing, excuse me, about the Barbara Drumming deal. And
it looks like they might have been listening to the
Uclah Henry Show, the Yellahammer News, because they've got posted
on there that clip from what you've played on the reditio.
(20:00):
So you're here for the Uncle Henry Show.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
All right, Well now I'm pausing the voicemail there. Now
that clip may have been played on other radio shows,
sixty eight year old Chris, I don't know, but you're
talking about the clip where Barbara Drummon, the candidate for mayor.
She was speaking in twenty twenty three at a press conference,
and the very beginning of her statement was.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
I am proud to say it is.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
No, that's not actually the statement. The very beginning was.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
I cannot overstate the danger that Donald Trump and the
Maga Republicans Ajenda poses for our nation's future.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
So that was a brief clip, and I saw the
video that Yellowhammer has, the Yellowhammer website has of Barbara
Drummings saying that, But that's only the beginning of about
four minutes of her talking about how as a woman
in Alabama, Alabama women do not have reproductive rights and
(21:07):
Alabama women do not have good health care because of
those dadgum Republicans just stopping women from living their best lives. Now.
So after after I saw that on Yellowhammer, that short clip,
I thought, well, I wonder about that whole press conference,
(21:30):
because I did. I played that weeks ago on the
Unklah Henry Show. So I went back to where I
founded in the videos gone. I found the video from
twenty twenty three on Facebook and it was on a
Sinclair news website, the National Desk or something like that. Well,
(21:52):
that video is not there anymore. It's gone. The video's gone,
And I don't think there's anything more inflammatory in flammavatory
than what I just played you. But the video is gone.
Isn't that interesting? Isn't that strange? So because the video
is gone, I thought I might as well play it
(22:12):
for you just one more time, just and I'm sorry,
sixty eight year old Chris, You're paused. But in case
you wanted to hear the whole video before you make
up your mind on how to vote. Here is what
she said. This was a press conference she did with
Doug Jones in Tuscaloosa in twenty twenty three. They had
(22:34):
a Republican presidential debate in December of twenty twenty three
in Tuscaloosa, and they went there the Democrats did to
talk about how bad the Republicans are. So here is
Barbara Drummond from a couple of years ago.
Speaker 10 (22:49):
I cannot overstate the danger that Donald Trump and the
Maga Republicans agenda poses for our nation's future.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
The Maga Republicans that might be you.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
I want to take a little bit, tell you a
little bit about what it's like as a woman to
live in the state of Alabama where there's no reproductive rights.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
All right, so you women have no rights reproductively here.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
And how my experience would be the reality for every woman,
if America, if America elects Donald Trump, or any of
the Republicans that is on the debate stage.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Tonight, any of them. You know, Chris Christie was there.
Even Chris Christie is bad according to her first.
Speaker 10 (23:38):
And foremost, I want to start with the facts. When
Republicans say that they wanted to overturn role in order
to return the decisions to the states, they were lying
after successfully gutting fifty years of legal president.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
That fifty years of legal press was gutted, that.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
Protected America's women's freedom to make their own choices and
decisions about abortions. Extremist Republicans aren't stopping there. Every single
Republican on stage tonight is united in supporting banning abortion.
(24:23):
And Donald Trump has the audacity to brag about his
role in gutting our fundamental freedoms as a woman in
the state of Alabama and this nation. Without him, Alabama's
near total abortion ban would not be in place. The
reality is is a national abortion ban would have devastating
(24:48):
consequences on the health and the safety of women across
this nation.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
It would have a devastating These Republicans can be devastating.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Restricting access to health care puts our lives and our
health at risk, leads to increased rates of maternal mortality,
creates a climate the fear among health care providers that
impease their ability to provide adequate care for women in
this state and reduces access in all forms of health care.
(25:25):
In Alabama. Women have been denied life saving care for miscarriages.
Health clinics have been shattered, and our Attorney general.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Health clinics have been shattered, and our Attorney general on.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
General has threatened that he will prosecute anyone who even
helped someone to travel out of state to receive the
care that they so needed for us. Abortion bands aren't
political issues. Their fundamental question of our freedom, our freedom
(26:02):
as women in this country and in the state of Alabama.
So this is the contrast that voters who will be
confronted with when they cast their votes in twenty twenty four.
Republicans are running on the anti freedom agenda.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Republicans are running on the anti freedom agenda.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
Are taking away the rights in dictating women's private health care.
Freedom or Democrats or do you want Democrats who are
committed to making sure people have rights, not fewer rights?
Time and time again, voters in every corner of the country.
They've rejected the Republicans extreme anti abortion agenda.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
However, strangely enough, when it came time to vote, they
did not reject the Republicans. You may remember, it went
pretty good for Donald.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
Trump, and they are rejected again in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
They didn't though.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
As a woman in a state where that we have
no freedom, you.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Have no By the way, if you're a woman, you
may not have realized that you have no freedom in Alabama.
According to Barbara Drummond, I.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
Think there's a dire call that we have got to
fight in twenty twenty four, that we fight for an
agenda that not only will we restore freedom to women
and also restore healthcare to those women, but also take
away the extreme magas agenda to cause chaos not only
in the country but in women's lives. So I thank
(27:36):
you for being.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Here this morning, all right, trying to stop chaos from
being created in your life by some dad gum extremist
maga person. Back with more after the break. This is

state of Alabama. I was in the middle of a

riding a ferris wheel or something. Now, I don't know
what it costs, but I'd still love to do a
helicopter ride. But sixty eight year old Chris, thank you

two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
I'm wondering. You know, we have this mayor's race and
mobile and then typically this mayor's race has been different
from many of the mayor's races that I have watched closely.
And I've watched them all pretty closely since Outlaw versus
(32:36):
Dow back in the day. Back in the day, you
had to be very you had to you had to
watch your uh, you had to watch things on the
weekend before the election because oftentimes there would be there
would be surprises pop up during the weekend before the vote.
(32:57):
Now what kind of surprise am I talking to? I
don't know, because it wouldn't be a surprise if I knew.
But you just never know what might happen. I remember
in one race, the Sunday before a vote, somebody put
out some really horrible flyers on the cars of churches.
(33:21):
This was over twenty years ago about a candidate, and
it was just just that kind of thing stuff that
really gets people fired up. So I don't know if
any of that might happen this go round or not,
but pay attention to the news this weekend, because you
never know when you have this kind of a hot
(33:43):
runoff going on, might be some news made Saturday or Sunday.
All right, well, out of time for this segment of
the program, gonna take a break for some news headlines.
We'll get those news headlines from Fox and then more
Uncle Henry's Show here on News Radio seven ten WNTM.
(34:09):
Don't forget. You can listen to previous episodes as podcasts.
You can find those on the iHeartRadio app. This is
(34:40):
the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seven ten WNTM.
Thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Now
this half hour of show, I'm going to get to
some news items that I'm that I missed. I want
to learn about these things, and may we all have
time for a voicemail. I guess we'll find out together
(35:04):
should you choose to continue to lifting to the unc
Leanry Show. Now, I want to start with a news item.
I found this news item on Fox ten. I think
this is something that probably won't make me mad, which
would be good. And maybe this is happening with you.
I'm seeing a lot of news items, not just this week,
(35:27):
but all throughout the last few years. It just kind
of make my blood bull Does that happen to you
where you don't want to be mad? And then you
look at the news and you feel a wide variety
of negative emotions. I don't want to feel those negative emotions.
And so here's the story. Probably won't make me mad,
So let me start with this before I move on
(35:47):
to things that might make me mad. This is a
story from Fox ten about a family discovering a fossil
in Clark County that they're claiming if somebody's claiming that
it's thirty two million years old, now how would we
know that? But first, let's listen to the story. Here
(36:08):
is here's a Lenisla Gon introducing the story.
Speaker 11 (36:13):
Family of four a few years ago turned up one
in a million fine. The Colemans were on the Alabama
River in Clark County when they discovered a fossilized shell
of a leather back seat turtle or Shelby Myers has
their first on camera interview.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Oh, they're first on camera interview. Apparently when you find
a fossil, there's numerous interviews. Keep this in mind because
if you ever find a fossil, you need to be
prepared to go on camera.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Apparently testing is just the once in a lifetime experience
for let's find something like that, something I probably never
had to us again, and it's pretty special.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
The Colemans liked to be outside. They spend much of
their time on the water, in particular hunting fossils, a
tradition passed down from Adam's dad.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
I'm on the river. We'd like to stop on the
river bank and take a break for fishing and walk
around see we could find sharks, teeth and shark Verter.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
Brave, his wife, Adrian, and their two children.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I'm sorry for pausing this. I just want to reflect.
I hope you don't mind that I'm reflecting with you,
but I'm reflecting on my own life, and I'm thinking
maybe I would be happier. Maybe I'd be happier if
I was looking for fossils, if I was just on
a river looking for fossils, because these people seem calm, collected.
(37:31):
I know you can't see the video because radio still
we still don't have it figured out where we can
put pictures on the radio, but we're still working on it.
But I can't show you the pictures the video. But
these people look very, very calm, almost even halfway board,
as they're talking about their pastime of looking for fossils.
(37:51):
It just sounds so relaxing compared to what I do,
which is look through the news and get mad at it.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
Tala and Corey love to tag along too. In twenty
twenty one, on the Alabama River near Jackson, at just
thirteen years old at the time, Talas spotted something curious.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
I was the one that pointed it out because I
was like, that rock looks a little weird, and me
and my de went and checked it out because we
thought it was just mud, and we got up closer
to it, we were like, that's that's not mud, that's something.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
And it was something all right. After sitting on it
for about a year, they finally found the right person
to talk to about identifying what they found, doctor Andrew
Gentry from the Gulf State Park Learning Campus.
Speaker 11 (38:35):
It is such an absolutely extraordinarily rare occurrence to get
an intacked fossil leather back shell like this.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
It is beyond one in a million.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
He gathered a team to excan and I apologize for
interrupting again, but now I'm thinking about this giant turtle
because you can again. You can't see the pictures, but
it's a big it's a big turtle. Makes me wonder
what it would have tasted like. This is because of
Snake Trail, you know, the collar Snake Trapper that calls
(39:05):
the show. He's always talking about how delicious turtles are.
Now it's now I'm wondering what would what would the
the ancient turtle tastes like? Was it delicious?
Speaker 6 (39:17):
Ex goov eight the sea turtleshell fossil the Coleman's pitching
into it.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
Was drilled around it and then hammer spikes into it
and hammer and hammer.
Speaker 11 (39:27):
Yeah, they're out there with the sledgehammers.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
And I was actually the one that made it move
and busted it free.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
There out When you saw it actually shift, you knew
it was free and everyone was just it was his cheers.
Speaker 6 (39:38):
The doulphin Island Sea Lab.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Doesn't that sound fun? Taking a sledgehammer up and busting
on things? What a what a relaxing high. I never
knew that you could have such a good and relaxing
time looking for fossils with sledgehammers in the woods.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
Loaned them one of their boats to load up the
fossil weighing roughly one ton.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
And when we finally got it onto the battle of
the boat, the back of the boat was out of
the water. Yeah, and we set it on the battle
of the boat. It finally went down. We worked it
down into the bottom of the boat to make the
motor go back into the water.
Speaker 6 (40:09):
Once the fossil was secure, Gentry reached out to other
palaeontologists around the US to determine how old the fossil was.
And it was ancient, thirty two million years old.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
It was all right. Now, look, I'm not doubting this,
but we're aren't. We at a point where you and
I can't figure out how old something like this is.
We have to trust them. Whoever's telling us that it's
thirty two million years old. I guess we have to
trust them because you and I could never figure it out. Right,
You don't know some old technique of your grandma's to
(40:46):
use bacon, soda or something to figure out how old
something is, or some some way of I know, they
have carbon dating and things like that, things like that.
Maybe your grandma had something special she did with oatmeal
and coffee grounds that could determine how old something was.
But thirty two. They could tell us that it's sixty
million years old, we wouldn't. How could we argue? Or
(41:09):
it might be five hundred years old. How we can't
argue with them. I guess we have to take them
at their word that it's thirty two million years old.
Speaker 6 (41:18):
Also determined to belong to a never before discovered species
and genus of leatherback sea turtles. And since it was
found on some of the Creek ancestral homeland, members of
the Porch Creek tribe got to name the species in
their native Muscogee language.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
So it is a combination of the word now. So
this now, this is another learning thing. So if you
find a fossil of a new species on a reservation,
the Native Americans get to name it is that is
that the rule on.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
This Scogie language.
Speaker 8 (41:53):
So it is a combination of the words uba had
locha which means water and turtle.
Speaker 6 (41:58):
The Colemans are already to find their next big fossil discovery.
Does it make you want to get out there and
do more? Y? Yeah, we're ready, Shelby Myers, Fox ten News.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
All right, so they're and they're ready to go out
and find another giant fossil.
Speaker 11 (42:16):
What a neat story. That fossil, by the way, is
on display in Birmingham at the mcwayne's Science Center.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
All right, well that was Wasn't that a wonderful diversion? Mentally?
I don't know what you're up to, but there are
some people that are just looking for fossils and hoping
they can find something big enough to sledge hammer out
of the ground. By the way, on a completely unrelated note,
I was I was checking this video out online and
(42:44):
I wish it were a crime. I'm sure we could
talk Congress into making it a crime for videos to
play automatically when you go to a website. I think
that ought to be against the law when you go
to a website and the video plays automatically when you
didn't want it to play. Just just a little thing.
Maybe Congress could do that. All right, Gonna come back
(43:05):
with more junk, but first gonna take a time out
a break. The Uncle Henry Show continues. After the break,
Let's go ahead and take the dad gum break, that
says The Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seven
(43:27):
to ten WNT News headlines coming up in ten minutes now,
maybe been earlier this week or last week. I had
a message that I shared with you from a listener.
A voicemail phoned him by a listener named Buford, and
he talked about his son, Bewford Junior had made some
(43:48):
comment about how if Alabama didn't play better, he was
gonna switch his allegiance to following some other team. I
don't know if he mentioned Auburn or some of the team,
and it upset Buford. Wellford phoned in a follow up. Yes,
I have a follow up on this. Uh. Buford's phone
(44:12):
broke up just a little bit, but I think we
can still understand most of this message. I'll try to
translate if need be. This has to do with his children.
I think his daughter playing volleyball.
Speaker 8 (44:26):
And you know my middle one.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
Mile child, she plays volleyball and she discovered it and
a few fights roll.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Tide, all right, So she's discovered something about roll tide.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
What her before her volleyball game? She plays a lot better,
all right?
Speaker 1 (44:52):
So she does something involving roletide before her volleyball game
and she plays better some there's some psycle logical boost
from the roll timing? Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (45:03):
On her before her volleyball game? She plays a lot
better here. That's just the power of the Alabama legacy.
And uh, she stored the winning point in her volleyball
game today.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Congratulations.
Speaker 3 (45:19):
That's right, Henry. The tide rolls strong in the Beauford household.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Now. But now point made. She's not actually at the
University of Alabama or playing for Alabama, but still thinking
about Alabama helped her score the winning point. If I'm
understanding this correctly, Befford, thank you for this all right?
What now?
Speaker 7 (45:45):
And uh, just an update on Buford junior. He sawwd
a lot, he said. He is not no fair weather fan.
He was just aggravated and.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
Sad at Alabama's performance when they lost that football game,
which is understandable. He's still quite.
Speaker 7 (46:03):
A young way.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
He's still a child. He's still trying to work his
way to those type of emotions.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
You know. And that reminds me of a time, Beaufford.
And there's a little bit more to Beauford's message, but
it reminds me of when I was a child and
I had a cousin come over and we were we
were listening to the Iron Bowl. For whatever reason, we're
(46:31):
unable to watch it. But a cousin came over. We
listened into the Iron Bowl. When I was a little child,
I must have been about ten or eleven, and my
father was there with us, and he was paying close
attention to the game. And I think Auburn did well,
and my cousin celebrated that Auburn did well, and I
was really mean to my cousin and my father. My father,
(46:57):
he got onto me, he did my father, he got
onto me as a child not being gracious. I was
not being gracious to the Auburn fan in the house,
even though I felt the Auburn fans display of emotion
was unprecedented and inappropriate in an Alabama household when Auburn
was doing well. But father, my father did not show
(47:20):
favoritism to the Tide or to me, and he disciplined
me for being unsportsmanlike. I was unsportsmanlike at age ten,
and my father, he tried to drill it into me
to be respectful even to the Auburn fan who was
being inappropriate in our home. So yes, as a child,
(47:40):
your passion can run wild, and it is important for
the fathers and the mothers, to especially the fathers, to
discipline the children and help them control their emotions during
the watching of the sports, and so be you Ford.
I'm glad that you're helping your son grow in this
important way. All right back, there's a little bit more
(48:05):
to this voice one, not.
Speaker 3 (48:06):
Much anyway, Henry. Yeah, little beauf his Warner volleyball game.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
And oh wait, did you call her beauford At. I've
not this is new. You've never called her beauford.
Speaker 3 (48:18):
At Little beau his Warner volleyball game.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
And Beauford that you know that sounds a little awkward,
no offense to be for that if that is her
given name. And I don't know if you know Beuford
and Beford Junior and Beuford ad. You remember when George
didn't George Foreman name all of his sons George Foreman Also,
(48:45):
I mean the names can be different depending on family culture,
in the way that a family wants to name their children.
Beauford At that's kind of a throwback name. There were
a lot of a lot of names that you don't
hear that often anymore. Clydeine, Clyde and Clydeine, Maxine. What's
(49:10):
a lot of names you don't hear as much. Geraldine,
my grandmother was named Geraldine.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Beufiford Junior is in the process of thanking the dog
miss out of ums tonight.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
Ooh, anyway, all right, Beautiford, thank you for that role
tied role that was disrupted there by the by the
bad connection on your cell phone. All right, well, anyway, Beuford,
Beufford Junior, Beauford at whatever variations of Beauford, Thank you
for your voicemail, the voicemail number two five one two
(49:46):
