Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Uncle Henry Show weekday afternoons from five till seven.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
This is Proverbs twenty five twenty four, the King James version.
It is better to dwell in the corner of the
housetop than with a brawling woman, and in a wide house.
The New International version better to live on a corner
of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
Proverbs twenty five twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
That says the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTN. Thank you for listening. I appreciate it
very very much, I really do. Once again, here we

(01:41):
are together, me and you. I'm just trying to figure
out what is going on in the world around us?
What is what is going on in the world around us?
Here we are together again. If you want to call
the show, there's something you want to bring forward, something
you need help understand it, or maybe you can help

(02:01):
me understand, maybe you can teach me something, or who
knows what you might bring forward. Two five one four
seven nine two seven two three is a telephone number
to call the Unclean Show. That's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot Com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot Com.
I've got some stuff to talk to you about that

(02:23):
involves mobile and UH our surrounding areas. We can get
to all of that as the program moves forward in
the time stream, but before we get to that, I
hate I hate to do this. I hate to start
off with a complaint because there's been so many good
things going on on the federal level lately, some some

(02:47):
things that we're going haywire that are being corrected slowly
up there in Washington, DC. But President Trump has done
something this week that has really upset me. He has
He's really upset me this week. And I know that
that may upset you that I would even be critical
if something the President would do. But the President has
done something this week that is upset me, and that

(03:12):
is yesterday he announced the twenty twenty five Kennedy Center Honors.
This is where people that have contributed, I guess, to
our culture in this country, to the arts and entertainment
and all that kind of stuff in our culture. Those
people getting honored the Kennedy Honors. And you've probably seen
the Kennedy Center Honors in previous years where there'd be

(03:34):
all kind of elderly musicians and elderly movie stars and
elderly authors and things like that getting all kind of
some kind of a metal put around their neck and
they get to act like they're big shots the Kennedy
Center Honors and it kind of went off the rails.
It started going off the rails about ten fifteen years

(03:56):
ago when people like led Zeppelin were getting honored. I
believe led Zeppelin was honored once in the past, which,
if you think about it, is absolutely ridiculous. This is
the United States of America. Why would we give some
type of high honor to led Zeppelin of all things?

(04:17):
Don't you remember all the stories of them being involved
in devil worship and all that kind of stuff. But anyway,
but to yesterday. Yesterday President Trump announced the twenty twenty
five Kennedy Center Honors recipients, and he mentioned George Strait.
That's good country music being recognized. We always need more

(04:41):
of that. So George, I applaud that. That's wonderful, George Strait.
Then he mentioned Gloria Gainer. I guess that's okay. I
don't think she's done anything objectionable to my knowledge. I
haven't been keeping up with her lately, but congratulations to her.
He mentioned Michael Crawford, somebody I don't know that. I'm
cultured enough to even know who that is, so I'll

(05:02):
assume he's all right. You mentioned Sylvester Stallone, which is good.
That's good. There's a guy that contributed to our culture.
Whether you whether you liked his contributions or not, he
certainly contributed to our culture with Rocky and Rambo, and
then after Rocky and Rambo, additional Rocky, and then after

(05:26):
that additional Rambo. There was just got a couple of
different moves there. He's got the Rocky move and the
Rambow move. But this is what's got me upset. President
Trump announced that one of the Kennedy Center Honors recipients
are going to be the demonic rock group Kiss Yes,

(05:48):
Kiss k I s S Kiss Knights in Satan's Survey
are going to be honored by the United States of
America with the Kennedy Center Honors. Here's a little bit
of what President Trump had to say. I can't even

(06:11):
believe these words came out of his mouth. It was
such a shock.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Paul Sadley, Gene Simmons Ace Frehley and Peter Chris Kiss
became a global phenomenon, sold more than one hundred million
records worldwide and produced thirty gold albums and lots of
other things they produced.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
They made a fortune a lot of other things they produced,
like just general chaos and demonic behavior among the youth.
And I guess the reason President Trump. You heard him
talking about how much money they made, and I guess
in his world, this is something that must be honored
that they generated in their heyday. Well, sure they're still
making enormous amounts of money, but even in the seventies,

(06:55):
they were making more than some countries made. Back when
they were dressed they were dressed up as demons and
going on stage. Now I learned about their demonicness here
in Mobile, Alabama, back before the internet, they performed. Kiss
was in Mobile. I think they performed twice. They were

(07:15):
Mobile twice in nineteen seventy six. They played Expo Hall
in nineteen seventy six, and then they went into the
municipal Auditorium later that year in December of that year.
Twice in one year they dirtied our community with their

(07:35):
devil worship. And then they came back in nineteen seventy
nine and back before the internet, that is when you
could learn the truth about Kiss, because nowadays there are
people out there that'll tell you, oh, they just wore
that makeup. It was all in that they weren't all
about the devil. But back back when they were coming

(07:56):
to town, you could it was word on the street,
people with people. It was word of mouth knowledge that
it was that Kiss was an acronym that was word
of mouth and mobile. And I was here, you probably
were too. You probably heard it too, word of mouth
knowledge spreading through the community about Kiss Knights and Satan's Service,

(08:22):
dressing up like devils. The one guy, his one claim
to fame was sticking his tongue out, which was this disgusting,
what a disgusting thing. And he's going to get a
medal now for sticking his tongue out, dressed like a devil.
I've got and I've got more to say about this

(08:44):
after the break. As The Uncle Henry Show continues.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Disgusting on news Radio seventy WNTM.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
It says the Uncle Henry Show Here on news radio
seven to ten WNTM, It's five twenty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes from Fox Well from Fox Radio
National News Now. In the last segment of the show,
I was expressing my disagreement with President Trump on honoring Kiss,

(09:32):
the disgusting, filthy Kiss band being honored by our government
with some type of special medal with the Kennedy Center
Honors this year. Just a disgust. I feel almost betrayed

(09:54):
by President Trump that he would honor Kiss, the Knights
in Satan's service.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
UH.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
The the uh. And people watching the Uncle Henry Show
on Facebook. There's a tiny number of people that look
at the show on Facebook, and there's there some of
these people are commenting about how they like, Oh, we
love Kiss. We love their music, if you can call
it music. Let's see one of the viewers, George David Johnston.

(10:26):
He writes in his comment listen to this, He writes,
I love Kiss. They are not a bad group. They
are not a bad group. George David Johnston. There is
no there is no group more overrated in the history
of modern popular garbage music. No group is more overrated

(10:52):
musically from a musical standpoint. Let's forget the fact that
they're all about the devil. Forget that part, forget about
the performances and all that stuff, and the tongue sticking
out a tongue over just from a musical standpoint, their
average to below average in the music. Go back and

(11:12):
listen to it. Well, I shouldn't say that, because it
could open up all kind of avenue for demonic infiltration
of your ear drums and all that kind of stuff.
But if you were to go back and listen to it,
you would hear It's if they hadn't dressed up like devils,
nobody would remember them. They would not be remembered if

(11:35):
they didn't dress up like the devil and stick the
tongue out and brag about the length of the tongue.
But these were these were men. They were putting on PlantForm,
high heeled shoes and painting their faces up looking like

(11:57):
devils and parading out on stage and catterwalling and all
of this and making tons of money. And now they're
gonna get a medal for this. All you got to
do in this country is earn some money, wear platform
shoes and put makeup on as a man, and somebody's
gonna drive up and give you a medal. Give you
a medal. In this country, it's disgusting. I can't believe this.

(12:24):
It's such a it's such a betrayal. And now somebody
else is coming on in the chat room saying, oh,
Kiss was cool. They were not. It ain't cool to
paint your face like you're Satan and stick out your

(12:44):
tongue and have claims about the length of your tongue.
It's disgusting. Now let me tell you a personal story
about Kiss because working in the radio industry, there was
a time in the nineteen nineties where I had my
employer forced me to go to a Kiss concert. I

(13:08):
was forced. I was forced by my employer to go
and monitor a Kiss concert in Bluxi, Mississippi and the
Mississippi Coast Colisseum.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I have a personal ax to grind with Kiss. I do.
It's not just that they're off the Devil. That's enough
that they're luciferian, but listen to this. So I went
to this concert. This was during this was in the
nineties when they decided to stop wearing the makeup. So
I went to Kiss when they weren't dressed like the Devil.

(13:50):
They were just dressed stupid. And this is when their
music they were singing their popular song songs. When they
were performing there in Biloxi, there was a song called
lick it Up? Now, what could that mean? Think about that?

(14:11):
What could it mean? Lick it up? That's disgusting. Why
would you You're gonna put out a song and call
it lick it up? What are you?

Speaker 7 (14:24):
What's the world coming to?

Speaker 3 (14:26):
They're getting a medal they're gonna go to They're gonna
go to Washington, d C. And get a medal put
around the neck. And they were singing lick it up?
What are just? What were they licking? Is what I
would like to know? Or do I really want to know?
And their other song of that era was I Was

(14:48):
Made for Loving You Baby. That was it was about
as intellectually hefty as as your your as a matchbook cover.
So I saw him there in Biloxi. Yeah, there's a
story to this aside from their debauchery. Now, when they

(15:11):
were doing the concert there in Biloxi singing lick it Up,
Gene Simmons went on the microphone and in between sticking
his tongue out, he said, y'all probably are wondering if
we're going to play the song bath because that was

(15:32):
there at the I think at the time that was
their biggest hit. They had one ballad that was Beth
that was sung by their drummer that they kicked out
of the band, probably had too much talent to remain.
And he said, no, we will not play that song.
That's a wimpy, terrible song. We will not play Beth.
And then they launched into some horrible, horrible, car wreck

(15:55):
sounding type of song, and I thought it was interesting.
I thought, well, their number one hit, they will not
play it. So about a year later, Gene Simmons was
a guest on the Larry King Show on news radio

(16:16):
seven to ten WNTIM. We used to carry the Larry
King Show, his radio show on this radio station, and
Larry King was interviewing Gene Simmons. So I decided to
call the Larry King Show to ask Gene Simmons about
not singing that song. And so I made it through. Yes,

(16:38):
I made it through. Larry King goes to the phones.
He says, let's go to Mobile, Alabama. Hello, And I say, hey,
Larry King, Gene Simmons. I said, Gene Simmons, I saw
you in Biloxi last year or this year, and you

(16:58):
said you wouldn't sing the song because you hated the
song Beth. Why won't you sing the song Beth? And
Larry King told Gene Simmons of Kiss told Larry King
and the national listening audience, he said, sir, that's a lie.

(17:22):
He said, of course we would sing Beth. That's our
biggest hit. Sir, you call her in Mobile, Alabama. You're
a liar. Gene Simmons called me a liar on national
radio when I was telling the truth. And now he's

(17:42):
getting a medal from President Trump.

(18:38):
I've got a caller here. Hello Coller, Oh.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
Henry, it's the Bamon Busshog calling in today.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Bamba Bush Hook, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
Well, I appreciate you having me on the Granary. Look
at here, I've heard you talk about kiss all afternoon,
and well, you know, I just told i'd let you
know that I think personally that is one of the
most revered theatrical rock and roll band we've ever had
in America. I mean, these guys at like their their characters,

(19:12):
with their makeup and all. But Jane Simmons, it isn't
really evil. Uncle Henry.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
He called me a liar when I told the truth
on national radio. He called me a liar. Tell me
what a great guy is.

Speaker 8 (19:28):
Tell me, well, maybe he just misunderstood you.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Of course he's this is a guy that dresses as
the devil. He dresses in a Luciferian way. He was
an early advocate of cross dressing, with the high heels
and all this kind of stuff, sticking his tongue out
fukin blood, singing songs about licking something up whatever it is. Oh,

(19:54):
but he's misunderstood. He misunderstood him.

Speaker 8 (19:57):
Well, I think so. I mean, yeah, he took out
that home tongue. But oh, Henry, he was trying to
lick sung it up. I don't know what that is.
I don't know what he was insinuating. But I got
a feeling that he didn't have a hard time finding
any dates.

Speaker 9 (20:15):
You know.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Now, what does that have to do with anything we're
talking about.

Speaker 8 (20:19):
Well, you're just talking about his long tongue.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Well all right, Look, look, you really need to crawl
into a prayer closet and pray this out of your
own heads. You've been programmed. You've been brainwashed to think
that there's something redeeming about the band Kiss. You've got
to work on yourself.

Speaker 8 (20:41):
Well, I don't know, Uncle Henry, I.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Do Mobile Pirate Radio. Thank you. By the way, if
you want more from the Bama Bush Ag, maybe you're
a Kiss fan and you want to get together with
us Kiss fans and talk about licking it up. To
go to a Facebook and look up Mobile Pirate Radio
and you can find the Bama Bush and y'all can
have your little satanic gathering there. Lock it up together.

(21:06):
Two five one four seven nine two seven two three
The telephone number here on the Uncleander Show. Hello caller,
I'm Glenry LD, the Mad Trucker.

Speaker 9 (21:14):
You know the problem with Kiss. The problem with Kiss
is they had no self control? Would you agree, Well,
I don't own tongue, the spitting up of the blood.
They had no self control.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
Well, that that is I guess that would be an objurse.
I'd never thought of it that way, but that's probably
a very accurate observation.

Speaker 9 (21:31):
So I was thinking, Uh, how's your mother doing without
self control and not eating too much.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
She's of normal weight for her age, height and activity
level according to insurance industry actuaries, so she's doing quite well,
all right, and then he just hung up. Well, good,
go ahead. Just maybe you can get together with the

(21:57):
Bamba bush Hog and listen to some kiss albums and
work on your next attack on my family. Two five one,
four seven nine two seventy two three is a telephone
number here on the Uncle Henry Show. Hello caller, Hey
Uncle Henry. Yes, sir, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 10 (22:14):
Yes, sir, I just gonna say shame on anybody that
would that would attack your family, and double shame on
anybody that would call you a liar on TV. Thanks
on the radio. Thank you appreciate that, Yes, sir, I'll
be honest with me, Uncle Henry. I don't know if
I trust anybody didn't like you or your family.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Well, if, sir, God bless you. Thank you.

Speaker 10 (22:34):
Yes, sir, but I was calling but your your previous
caller mentioned it I was gonna tell you the most
disgusting thing that you hadn't mentioned was him spitting the
blood up. But uh, you have that. Yeah, I agree
with you. I don't see why they should be getting
any kind of a medal and unless it's some kind
of pieplate or something to the coovery space with now that, sir.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Now you, thank you. I already feel better. Thanks thanks
to you, I'm feeling better.

Speaker 10 (23:03):
Yes, sir, I totally agree with you. Lorg Henry. I
won't keep you. Just you have a good day, and
God bless you and your family.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
God bless you and your family. To thank you, sir,
whoever you are, anonymous, good person.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Hello, color, good evening, Uncle Henry.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Roll time, roll tied roll Reagan girl.

Speaker 11 (23:27):
Yes, sir, Well, I'm sure that I'm going to have
an unpopular opinion, but Kiss deserves this honor.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Oh, now, come on, Reagan from how.

Speaker 11 (23:42):
Well, Uncle Henry. They they do, they do a lot
to support our veterans. They they are hard working musicians
and they have been you know, they have not received
the recognition of the music world that they deserve.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Well, it's they haven't received the full recognition because they're
not that good.

Speaker 11 (24:10):
Oh, uncle, come on, now, come on now. Peter Chris
is one of the most respected drummers that there is.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
So good that he got kicked out of the band.

Speaker 12 (24:24):
Well, yeah, but that was over other reasons. But Uncle,
I thought that I would share a good story about Kiss.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
All right, please do you'll, please.

Speaker 11 (24:39):
Do, if you'll, if you'll allow me a few minutes.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Absolutely, you've been a wonderful friend to this show through
the years, despite your your blind spot in terms of music.
So please tell me, tell me the story, tell me
the good story.

Speaker 11 (24:52):
Yes, sir, Well, you know, I don't know if you remember,
but I did mention to you that my my dad
was a huge Kiss fan. Oh no, and yes, sir,
and I attended my first Kiss concert when I was
in kindergarten.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
So what in kindergarten? Yes, your dad took you to
see men dressed as devils pukin blood when you were
in kindergarten.

Speaker 11 (25:22):
Well, I even took a Kiss lunch box to school.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Oh that's terrible. Oh, this is so terrible. Lord, I
wish I could get in a time machine and go
back and save you from this.

Speaker 11 (25:35):
Well, Uncle, unfortunately, my dad passed away right in twenty fourteen,
and I actually I was able to locate the office
of Gene Simmons, and I called and I left a
message about what had happened, you know, about my father

(25:56):
passing away, and I UH. Shortly thereafter, I received a
phone call from his office and Gene Simmons had personally
heard my message and he sent kiss drumsticks and kiss

(26:19):
guitar picks autographed by all of the members to put
in my daddy's shadow box, and sent his condolences and
even mailed us some passes UH to attend something that
they were having in Las Vegas. So I thought I

(26:40):
would share that good story and maybe that will help you,
you know, see see a different light, and you know,
and also you know, I don't know how many people know,
but Gene Simmons' mother, she survived in a concentration camp.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Yes, I have heard that story. I've heard Gene Simmons
interviewed many times through the years.

Speaker 11 (27:04):
Yes, yes, sir, well, I hope that was you know,
a good positive thing that you had heard. But on
a funny note, uncle, are you sure that you're not jealous?

Speaker 3 (27:18):
What do you mean?

Speaker 9 (27:20):
Why are you sure that.

Speaker 11 (27:21):
You're well who he's married to? Is it possible. You
saw her in a magazine.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
What what do you mean? Who's he married to?

Speaker 7 (27:32):
Uh?

Speaker 11 (27:32):
Shenon Tweed.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Who's that?

Speaker 11 (27:37):
Well, she was a Playboy Playmate of the Year.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Oh, of course I'm not gonna I'm not gonna want
to be I've got the best wife on the planet.
Why would I want to go out with somebody that
showed their naked body in a magazine. Well, so there's
another reason that this guy should not get a medal.

Speaker 11 (27:57):
Well, Uncle Henry, you take care and I'm Uncle Henry all.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Right, thank you, Reagan girl. I'm glad that I'm glad
that kiss was able to make you feel better after
the passing of your father. So there's one good deed,
and that's maybe the I don't think it erases all
the negative, the horrible stuff they've done to all of

(28:24):
the world, but I'm glad for you.

Speaker 6 (28:28):

Hello, color, Hey over Henry. How you doing, Snake.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Trapper, snake trapper? What is on your mind today?

Speaker 13 (29:23):
Uncle Henry? Here in West Mobile. Uh, it seems like
the worst of it's over, but we got founded by
one heck of a thunderstorm.

Speaker 12 (29:31):
Ocle Henry.

Speaker 13 (29:32):
Standing in my garage, I witnessed one of my neighbors
losing a probably about a thirty five forty foot tree.
Of their limbs down everywhere, and that son appears to
be headed south from where I'm at. I mean, man,
I didn't see. I had to see winds like it
there Katrina, really Latrina but Ivan. Uh so people south

(29:52):
of airport and snow hunger down. It's it's headed way
and it was pretty intense.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Well, I'm glad I'm at your yard's okay, right.

Speaker 13 (30:00):
Yes, I've lost several limbs, Uncle Henry, but there are
limbs that I rode, Like I said, in about four
hours is uh south of me, a neighbor lost a tree,
a pretty good sized tree. Well, I'm going.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
I'm glad you came out of it. Okay. One before
you go, though, there's something I want to ask you
about you used to talk about it on the unc
Leander Show all the time, and I haven't heard you
bring it up in a while. Moccason Zilla, the giant
water moccason has has the has no one sighted it?

(30:34):
Has it moved on? Has it left the neighborhood?

Speaker 13 (30:38):
On on, Henry, we haven't spotted many snakes in that lake,
probably in the past year or so. And Uh, I
believe it is because the geese have taken over. Hen
You know, a geese elik each snakes.

Speaker 9 (30:53):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (30:53):
You know.

Speaker 13 (30:54):
Now we're finding plenty of our garter snakes, king snakes
and rat snakes, uh, stuff like that around. As far
as the water snakes or the moccasin, Uh, they've da've
seems like the geese are taking care of them. I
do believe that that is the problem. The geese may
have run them down the creek.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, Well that I just wondered you were there was
It's felt like a couple of years you were hunting
that snake, and now you hadn't talked about it anymore.

Speaker 13 (31:21):
Well over, Henry, I pull up every evening and uh,
and when I'm down there at the lake, I shot
video of a bunch of the geese my neighbor feeding them,
and uh, you know I mentioned it then. But I
do believe that, you know, you can either have the
geese or the snake. It's you know, as long as
they stayed about three or four hours down from the

(31:41):
geese are flying. But I have had problems with them.
But yes, sir, I do believe that they are keeping
the water snakes and the water fowl snakes or or
or you know, I believe they may be eating them.
They will eat them. I do know that.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
All right, So there's a positive to having the geese
in your neighbor hood.

Speaker 13 (32:00):
Now, Oh, yes, sir, I know uh uh Loki is
terrified of them. I don't know if he got too
close to the water and maybe they got after me
to my cats, you know. Uh he for some reason, man,
he he can hear them and he'll run.

Speaker 9 (32:12):
Up on the porch.

Speaker 13 (32:13):
He don't like them at all. So, uh, yesterday, I
believe I believe that the uh, that the geese have
got him run off.

Speaker 9 (32:21):
Henry.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
All right, well, thank you for answering that question.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
Now.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Is there anything else you wanted to say before we're
out of time?

Speaker 13 (32:27):
Oh no, sir, I just wanted to warn people, Uncle
Henry at that uh that that front moving south. I mean, man,
it was really intense, uh, I said. It appears to
be calmed down a lot now for the past five minutes,
but my goodness, I was Uh, I was kind of
terrified of you know, watching the tree in the neighbor
yard blow up, and then me losing limbs of neighbor's
garbage can blows completely down the street.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (32:49):
You know, it was pretty intense.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
All right, Well, glad you came through it, fine snake trapper.

Speaker 13 (32:54):
Yes, sir Henry, you have a good day, buds, you.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Too, Thank you very much for the phone call. Yeah,
I noticed that with the incredible amounts of rain that
what was it? It was night before, not last night,
but the night before. I don't know, every day running
into the next with me, but a tremendous rain from

(33:17):
these thunderstorms. And I was thinking to myself, in the
last several decades, I remember more big rainy storms happening
in the spring and not this time of year. Of course,
this time of years you have tropical weather, which is
always the possibility of all that kind of stuff, some

(33:39):
intense thunderstorms lately. All right, well, stay trapper, Thanks again
for the phone call. Just about out of time in

news headlines coming up, and then I've got a few
news items. I didn't intend to spend so much time

(34:42):
talking about that horrible band Kiss, but when you have
people pushing back against common sense, I felt like I
had to defend. I had to defend common sense for
the hour, it says the Uncle Henry's Show here on

(35:20):
News Radio seventy ten WNTM, I appreciate very much you
listening to it. Now this half hour of show, we're
gonna go over some news items that I've missed and
I want and need to learn about. Maybe you missed
them too, Maybe you can learn with me. We can
share that time together, share that activity together. Also, I've

(35:45):
got some animal stories, and I'm always interested in the
animal stories. And if I have time, I'm going to
dive deeply into the Uncle Henry Show audio archives before
I get into anything, Before I get into one of
these news items, i just want to make a remark. Yes,

(36:08):
I'm making a remark here on the Unk Henry Show,
and that is that I'm I'm I'm. As I do
the show, I'm having late in the day, early evening coffee.
That's just, that's just. I've had so much coffee during
my career. Because I did so many decades doing morning
show radio, I developed a tremendous tolerance to caffeine. And

(36:30):
I can drink regular strength coffee, caffeinated coffee at almost
any time and it will not I can go to sleep.
I'm going to just pound a cup of coffee and
go right to sleep, even if it's caffeinated. Now I'm
bringing this up because I've got this coffee that's I've
let it get tepid, I've let it get room temperature

(36:52):
instead of steaming hot the way that I like it.
And I still don't understand. I don't understand the iced
call fee industry. I know that the world has passed
me by and there's now a generation or two of
people that love to have their coffee on ice, and
it's a gazillion dollar industry, But I don't understand it.

(37:15):
I don't understand how you can drink it on ice
when at room temperature. It seems almost like a poison
to me. I know it's not a poison, but it's
I can't imagine it being any good other than being
steaming hot. But look, that's just me. I'm having trouble
accepting the reality of the new, weird, old generations that

(37:38):
like their coffee icy. All right, let me get to
the news item. There's a lawsuit going forward in Alabama
that I want to learn about. Now. This has to
do with a lawsuit over an inmate's organs. Apparently, an
inmate passed away in an Alabama prison and the family

(38:02):
found out later that his organs had been harvested and
that they were doing something with them a UAB. So
let's listen together. This story is from w BRC in Birmingham,
a stepsister station to Fox ten. Here they are talking
about this lawsuit over organs, an organ lawsuit, Sir.

Speaker 15 (38:25):
Could judge ruling a lawsuit alleging you ay be removed
and kept organs of a man incarcerated at a federally
run prison in Alabama can proceed. Attorneys representing the family
of Matthew Harrell are also representing the families of nine
other people who were incarcerated, all claiming you may be
removed their loved ones organs without consent.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
All right, now, this is Is there a lot of
money in organs? I say, I'm already at a deficit
of knowledge. My ignorance runs deep, wide and deep. Is
there money in this?

Speaker 6 (39:01):
Can you?

Speaker 16 (39:02):
S Reporter Taylor Pollock was there at that hearing, Taylor,
what can you tell us about this?

Speaker 17 (39:09):
Well, Sarah Morgan, I can tell you that we were
there capturing this emotional moment between Matthew Harel's mother and
her attorney that follows that Jefferson County Circuit Judge's decision
that their case can continue on.

Speaker 18 (39:24):
Judge Patrick ballor denying emotion by uab's attorneys to dismiss
a case alleging that the school, up until recently had
a contract with ADOC to perform innate autopsies, removed and
kept heral's organs without his family's permission. Attorneys representing UAB
claim that we're moving and keeping organs in an autopsy
is a custom procedure in case more testing needs to

(39:44):
be done, and also claiming that organs are not personal property.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
At one point, I'm sorry, okay, so my organs are
not my personal property. Really, I know I'm dead if
I'm on the auto topsy table. I hope I'm dead
if they're performing an autopsy. But it's not. It's not.
But my organs are not mine or my families once

(40:08):
I'm dead. It's just whoever's poking around inside of me
can have them for whatever they want them for. Organs
are not personal property, all right. See, I'm glad I'm
learning about this. We need to know, don't.

Speaker 18 (40:20):
We procedure in case more testing needs to be done,
and also claiming that organs are not personal property, at
one point stating that what they're doing is standard training
in practice and it's not nefarious. That's for autopsy. Judge
Ballard responded, we're talking about retaining organs. Attorney Lauren Ferano
says she was first contacted by UAB students in twenty eighteen,

(40:41):
who she says, we're concerned about the number of organs
from incarcerated people.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
They start w WHOA, okay, So the attorney is claiming
that students are thinking, you know what, we got too
many organs up here? Is that what happened? A bunch
of students thought, you know what we are really we
are up to our eyeballs and organs here? What's going on?

Speaker 18 (41:03):
Students in twenty eighteen, who she says, we're concerned about
the number of organs from incarcerated people.

Speaker 14 (41:09):
They started to ask questions, and those questions were met
with an absolute shutdown by the ethics committee at the
University Medical School. And the students felt completely ignored, and
so they came to an attorney they knew handled cases
like this, although there's never been quite a case like this.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
This was started by the students.

Speaker 17 (41:33):
Efforts to speak with the uab's attorneys following that hearing
were unsuccessful. Herel is the first inmate represented by Parano
that was in a federally run prison when he died.
She tells WBrC the cases for other families with similar
claims are.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Hey, I'm pausing here just to think this is very creepy.
It's very creepy. I wonder if the judge will set
court dates and things to happen close to Halloween.

Speaker 18 (41:59):
Also along with no issues.

Speaker 17 (42:01):
You're breaking news reporter in Birmingham, Taylor Pollock at w
BRC six News on your site.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
All right, on my side. I guess if somebody takes
my organs, you're on my side. Thank you for that.
By the way, okay, all right, said, what would be
the motive for harvesting the organs of the deceased incarcerated
and then keeping a bunch of them up there? So

(42:27):
many that the students are wondering what's going on? What
would be the motive? All right, Well, anyway, this lawsuit
we'll move forward. So perhaps unless they come to some
type of out of court settlement to prevent a lot
of discovery, then maybe we will all learn more about

(42:48):
the harvesting of the organs. I do like the idea
that a UAB attorney says that my organs are not
my property, that they I guess, not even my family's property.
Though this is all, there's more to this, and I'm
looking forward to learning more. All right, coming up, Let's see,

(43:09):
I've got some got some animal stories that I'd like
to share, just in case the Snake Trapper is listening.
I know he's very animal oriented. Have some animal stories
to share. I've also got some stuff I found on
the Uncle Henry Show audio archives that I forgot that
I had, that I want to listen to. So anyway,

(43:30):
that all of that and who knows what else might
be coming up here on The Uncle Henry Show as
we move forward in the time stream. Now, first though,
I need to get a traffic report, need to go
weather forecast. I need some words from our lovely sponsors.
So let us please take the break. Take the break,

(44:10):
that says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seven ten WNTM. News headlines coming up in ten minutes.

Speaker 7 (44:22):
Now.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
I mentioned in the last segment I was going through
the Uncle Henry Show audio archives and I found a
bunch of stuff that I forgot that I had. I
know I've probably played this on the show, maybe even
in the last few years, but I forgot about it,
so I'm going to play it again. I found some
old stuff from back when I was at WABB in

(44:42):
nineteen eighty nine. So this I don't know. I'm not
good at math. So this was a number of decades ago.
And this is a fake radio commercial for Breeze Technical
School that was done by Paul Fuller and Al Matthews.
They were called the Goofy White Dudes when they worked together.

(45:06):
There was a previous morning show called the Goofy White Boys.
This was an updated version of that show that was
called The Goofy White Dudes in nineteen eighty nine with
Paul Fuller and Al Matthews. They are still working now
in Providence, Rhode Island. They're part of the Providence, Rhode
Island Radio Hall of Fame. Here is Paul Fuller and
Al Matthews, the Goofy White Dudes with a fake radio

(45:28):
commercial for Breeze Technical School. See if you can see
how radio has changed between now and nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 6 (45:38):
Say Bill, I'm really bummed out.

Speaker 7 (45:41):
Why is that?

Speaker 8 (45:42):
Bob?

Speaker 6 (45:42):
Well, you know, got no skills to get a good job.
I could fit my whole resume on a matchbook cover
that bad. No, I can write really small.

Speaker 7 (45:52):
Well, what you need is Breeze Technical School. Breeze Technical School, Yep.
They'll teach you skills like school's repair, paper mill, fume
sampling and tunnel cleaning in just six short months, not
a whole half year like those other schools.

Speaker 6 (46:08):
Gosh, but I don't have any experience.

Speaker 7 (46:10):
Don't need any Breeze Technical School will teach you everything
you need to know.

Speaker 6 (46:16):
But I'm not even a high school graduate.

Speaker 7 (46:18):
No sweat. They teach grads and non grads. In fact,
a higher education only gets in your way. But I'm
a Klotz, No problem. The knowledgeable folks at Breeze Technical
School will simply keep their distance.

Speaker 6 (46:32):
Geez financing available Sure.

Speaker 7 (46:34):
If you qualify, just have a head on your shoulders
and pay back an easy installments for the rest of
your life.

Speaker 6 (46:41):
Wow. Sounds too good to be true.

Speaker 7 (46:43):
It does, but it is true, And the folks at
Breeze Technical School can give you all the facts right away.

Speaker 6 (46:50):
But I can't read, no problem.

Speaker 7 (46:53):
Do you know numbers? Some great vin dial five five
five five five five five. That's five five five five
five five five.

Speaker 6 (47:04):
What's that number again?

Speaker 7 (47:06):
Five five five five five five five for Breeze Technical
School Learn a skill you'll be paying for for the
rest of your life.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Again, that was Paul Fuller. Now Matthews the goofy White
Dudes with the Breeze Technical School commercial from nineteen eighty
nine on WABB Radio. Very different today versus then, Let's
see before I'm out of time, I talked about some
animal stories. You never know when the snake trapper might

(47:37):
be listening or other animal lovers, so I got a
couple of animal stories from Fox News to share. Snake
trappers often talked about how turtles are delicious and he
would love to cook turtle for the Uncle Henry Show.
Here's a story from Fox News of a man from
New York who's been arrested for trying to smuggle hundreds

(48:03):
of turtles out of the United States of America. Let's
listen together.

Speaker 16 (48:09):
A Chinese national living in Brooklyn's pleaded guilty in federal
court after he was arrested for trying to smuggle turtles
worth about one point four million dollars to Hong Kong.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Prosecuted right now, I'm sorry, I've already paused this. A
million turtles worth a million dollars. What are the.

Speaker 4 (48:29):
Now?

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Are these real turtles or are they like gold turtles?

Speaker 16 (48:34):
Er say Wei Chang Lin had eight hundred and fifty
Eastern box turtles and three toed box turtles stuffed into
two hundred and twenty boxes. They were intercepted during a
border inspection, when officers said the turtles were bound and
taped inside socks in those boxes. The International Union for

(48:55):
a Conservation of Nature says these turtles aren't endangered, but
they are considered vulnerable as their numbers decline. Lin's facing
up to five years in prison. Jill Nato Fox News.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Think about the work that this man went through. Well,
I guess most of us would be willing to work
and work up a sweat for over a million bucks.
But turtles, all right, well, I guess turtles. There's a
lot more to turtles than I ever thought of. All right,
real quick, this is a new Python story out of Florida.

(49:30):
There's a woman in Florida that has taken the top
prize in the twenty twenty five Python Challenge, and once again,
Jill Nato, I guess she's got the animal beat. Here
is Jill Nato, once again from Fox News reporting on
the woman that won the Python Challenge.

Speaker 16 (49:48):
Teller Stanberry stands just four feet eleven inches tall, but
she towered over Florida's Python Challenge, bagging sixty Burmese pythons
in the Everglades over ten days. Some of those snakes
were three times her height. For troubles. Stanbury took home
the ten thousand dollars top prize. The Florida Fish and

(50:09):
Wildlife Conservation Commission says the hunters in the competition removed
a record two hundred and ninety four pythons. In all,
that's just a drop in the snake filled bucket, though
they estimate there between one hundred thousand two three hundred
thousand in the Everglades, and the invasive species is known
to kill off native wildlife. Jill Nato Fox News.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
All right, well out of time. I wish I could
talk more about the python issue, but amount of time.
Thank you for listening. As they say in Sarland, have
a good one, as they say in Theodore, take it easy.
