and psoriasis. I've learned. I learned quite a bit today.

in all of the heat, just enjoying the beautiful heat
that we have here, one of our natural resources. And
now I'm here back at the station with you to
talk about whatever is going on in the world now.
The City of Mobile, in anticipation of the fourth of
(04:25):
July Independence Day holiday, they've been putting out press releases
today so that the citizens will know how to behave
there are there. And this has been happening more and
more as each year goes by, that people are less parented,
people are doing less parenting, they're letting the TV parent
(04:46):
the child. They're letting the school teachers parent the child.
There's just a lot less parenting going on, and so
because there's not enough parenting, the government feels like it
needs to continuously parent people. And let's see, we've got
all kinds of things here. Let's see. The first press
release is about the Downtown Mobile curfew. The subject line
(05:10):
on this email is Downtown curfew reminder. This came from
the public affairs manager of Mobile, Blake Brown. He writes,
as the fourth of July holiday approaches, we want to
remind everyone about the curfew regulations for individuals under the
age of eighteen in the Downtown Entertainment District. The Mobile
(05:31):
Police will enforce the curfew from ten pm to five
am daily to protect our community's youth. We appreciate the
cooperation and understanding from all community members during this time.
We also urge parents and guardians to be aware of
(05:52):
the curfew times and a company the young ones during
late hours to ensure their safety and add hand terrance
to the ordinance. So just a reminder to you and
me and to everybody under the age of eighteen that
you can't be running around in Downtown Mobile after ten PM.
(06:12):
And this is generally speaking, if you're eighteen and under,
why are you out at night? Anyway? You've got no
reaton now. It's still allegedly a free country, so I
still I would love for you to be able to
do as you wish as an American. But what are
you doing now?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Get home?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It's after dark? What are you doing out here? All right? Anyway,
curfew will be enforced in downtown Mobile. Just a reminder.
Let's see who we have here.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Hello, Color, good evening, Henry.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Bert Bert, you are alive on the radio.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Okay, this is a sad story that I've got to
comment on. But I've got to put in my two
sets on this one.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
All right.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
There was a young man's in a who deala Idaho,
which is, by the way, a very very beautiful place.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I've been there.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
And he started a fire so that the firefighters could
be brought in, and he was laying in wait for
the firefighters with a loaded gun. Yes, his intention was
to kill firefighters right now. At first I didn't know
what this was all about. Wines that did he have
a beef with a particular firefighter that he wanted to
(07:28):
take out of this world? Well, recently, I saw a
Facebook post that explained everything, and it's infuriating. Uncle Henry.
The story of this young man is infuriating. He is
a poster child for the failure of our criminal justice
system in this country and our mental health system. He
(07:54):
went after a woman with a knife and I never
learned the motivation why he did this. But he was
originally charged with a felony for doing this, and it
was plea bargain down to a misdemeanor, so he only
did six months and then he was released and there
(08:18):
was mental health.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
The value with all right, wait, Bert, I've got to
go to break. Would you like to hold on to
tell the rest of your tale?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
All right, please do all right, listener, we got traffic
and weather coming up. Words from our sponsors. The Uncle
Henry Show will continue. I'll be back, Bert will be back,
and who knows what else will occur in the next
segment of the show. It is a mystery until it happens.
(09:01):
Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WN ten,
but it's five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.
In the last segment of the show, we went into
the break with Bert describing this horrible case out of Idaho,
out of Idaho where a young person shot at these firefighters. Now, Bert,
(09:26):
you were telling the story that the guy had been
accused of stabbing a woman with a knife, and it
was plaid down to a misdemeanor, and then what happened.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
What happened was this person is walking free among those
who should have been walking free. Right, that's the bottom line.
They said, Well, he's twenty years old, but he's living
in his car. Why is that, Uncle Henry? When I
was twenty years old, I was still living with my
(09:59):
parents and attending the University of South Alabama, Go Jays,
and I can't imagine why somebody would be homeless at
the age of twenty. Well, I finally found out when
I researched it on a Facebook post. This young man
(10:20):
threatened everybody in the world. He was under fore order
to stay away from his family because he had threatened them.
He had threatened everybody alive on this earth. He saw police, firefighters,
everybody that was an authority figure as an enemy. And
that's why he went after firefighters. That's why he applied
(10:42):
to be a firefighter, because he wanted to kill firefighters.
His next Cark target would probably have been police, so
he had to start with firefighters.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So Bert, your point of making the call is that
we are the justice system and mental health services severely
lacking nationwide to deal with people like this. There seems
to be no avenue to deal with people that have
flipped out like this guy did.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
People that really really need to be in a padded cell.
I mean, this guy needed to be in a straight
tacket in a padded cell, and instead our legal system
and our mental health system allowed this German as I see,
to walk free among us with a loaded gun. And
(11:36):
by the way, one of the you know, I had
many many problems with Governor Bentley. Yes, one of the
biggest problems I had with Bentley was that he shut
down Seerse Hospital because there were people who were at
Seirce that really really needed to be in a padded cell.
(11:59):
Right now, walk free among us, now walk free among us,
threatening all of us. That's the bottom line. That's the
stufff can my call. There are people walking free among
us who really need to be in a fatted cell.
This guy in Idaho was one of them.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Bert, thank you so much, Thank you for your phone call.
Thank you for bringing it up. Goodbye, all right, and
then he hung up. All right, thank you Bert for
disconnecting the phone line. Two five one four seven nine
two s two three the telephone number here on the
Oulk Cleaner Show. And yes, the he the We all
(12:42):
have seen examples in the news of people that have
flipped down, that have mental issues, well documented mental issues
going back, that did not get any kind of help
or not the right kind of help that they needed. Uh.
We many of us have it affecting us in our
daily lives in a variety of ways. And this is
all over the country and it is never seems to
(13:04):
be a priority, does not seem to be a priority
at all among the political class, and maybe not even voters,
because when you look at at people listening issues on
what they might vote for, what are their top issues
in an election, it could be anything from economy, national security,
(13:26):
stuff like that. People don't bring up the mental health thing.
But we're all affected by it, aren't we. Two five
to one four seven nine two seven two three. The
telephone number that's two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
dot com. Now, let's see I did get a voicemail
(13:47):
that kind of relates to mental health. Today, the Mad
Trucker placed a phone call to the Uncle Henry.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
Show ocle Henry ld Well, I'm wavling well pulling out
of the big box store out here on Range Line Road,
and there's a guy over there on the side of
the road, and he looks kind of hungry, looks kind
of tired, you know. So let me tell you what
I did, Uncle Henry. I bought my lunch in there,
which was a loaf of bread and a little package
(14:17):
of that. But egg corn beef costs eighty eight cents.
Well stead eating two sandwiches on the way home, Uncle Henry,
I saved myself a lot of money doing that.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
All right, I'm pausing there just to say I want
to thank LD for sharing his frugality with the listener
many listeners right now, a lot of people are still
even though we've seen some prices come down, we're still
trying to make ends meet because of these last several
years of rampant inflation, and LD with an important money
(14:50):
saving tip in modern In modern slang, you might call
it a life hack. And instead of owing to a
fast food establishment, LD is buying bread and a package
of corned beef that cost eighty eight cents of making
his own sandwiches. He is being frugal. That is an
(15:12):
LD life hat because my lovely wife, as an example,
she wanted to have a hamburger and some iced tea
a few weeks ago. Her hamburger and iced tea cost
nine bucks nine dollars. Now, I didn't say that when
she told me that. I didn't yell nine dollars. I
(15:33):
don't do that because we're newlyweds. But yeah, loaf of
bread and a package of corned beef, what LD outstanding frugality?
All right? Back to the.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Message cost eighty eight cent, well said eating two sandwiches
on the way home, Uncle Henry, I saved myself.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
A lot of money doing that.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
I made him a sandwich and I handed it to him.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
All right, so LD sees a man that looks like
he needs help on the side of the road, and
he makes him a corn beef sandwich and hands it
to him. And then this is the side of LD
that you rarely hear. We normally you hear the demonic
side where he's attacking my family due to some type
(16:16):
of demonic affliction. In his life. But this is the
angelic side of LD. He's making sandwiches for people on
the sidewalks.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I made him a sandwich and I handed it to him,
and he thanked me for it, Uncle Henry. He really
did thank me for it. And guess what he did,
Uncle Henry. I looked in the rear view mirror, and
when I passed him, he threw it onto the ground.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
Never help him again?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Never all right, Well, that's kind of a sand It's
kind of a sad end to your call. LD. Look
l D, don't lose, don't lose faith. Don't lose faith. Yes,
this man rejected your delicious eighty eight cent corn beef sandwich.
(17:06):
He rejected it. Yes, but in the future there might
be somebody that there might be somebody that really appreciates it,
and you really help with that gesture. Don't stop those
gestures of kindness, LDE, don't stop the gestures of kindness.
And you don't know. This man may have thrown the sandwich,
(17:27):
but your act of kindness to him may permeate his
mind and cause him to may cause him to turn
over a new leaf. You never know, it, says the
(17:53):
Uncle Henry show here on these Radio seven to ten WNTM,
it is five thirty five. You can also hear me
Monday through Friday on ninety five k s JAY, where
we play today's hottest country music. And starting tomorrow afternoon

(18:35):
going to see the Red Clay Stras concerts down in
Orange Beach, Red Klay Strains are going to be in
concert three nights in a row, and I've looked, and
I mean they are. They may sell out all three nights.
This is quite an accomplishment by a local band to
sell that many tickets. It's gonna be great if you're
(18:57):
going to the If you're going to the concert tomorrow,
look for me and Shelby from ninety five KSJ. We're

you're there to see the concert, if you're just at
(19:18):
the wharf Thursday or Saturday afternoon, stop over and say hello.
I would love to talk to you down there at
the Red Clay Stras concert. Two five one four seven
nine two two three The telephone number to call. We've
got a couple of people holding here. Let me go
right back to the phone.
Speaker 9 (19:32):
Hello caller, Hey on man, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Snake Trapper? Snake Trapper, you are live on the.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Radio on Hendry.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
I don't know if it's all sun spots or solar flares,
but uh, something is going on with AT and T phones.
That just started over the past few minutes. My mother
in law can't call in or call out and when
she does, you know, And I called your show on
my phone and all of a sudden it started acting
up adopted call. So I'm actually calling you from the
brides on Uncle Henry. But besides that, man, what I
(20:03):
called to tell you about Uncle Henry? Longtime caller Buford
text messaged me an identification the snake identification picture of
a snake that his wife come across on her morning walk.
Uncle Henry had wind up being a juvenile copperhead. I
told him it's a very very venomous snake, dangerous stairway
(20:25):
from it. And also to his neighbor cutting his grass
come across a larger copperhead. So I just want to
let people out there in radio Land know, Uncle Henry,
that the uh for some reason, and I don't know why,
the copperhead snake population is very plentiful this year. A
(20:46):
neighbor in monroevill Or a coworker in Monroebl's friend went
to get in his car this morning and felt something
hit his foot and looked down Uncle Henry, and a
juvenile copperhead had.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Hit him on his ankle.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
Now, baby copperhead doesn't have long enough things to go
through boots and a pair of blue jeans. But the
spot was wet where the copperhead hit him, so I
had not been for the boots. If it had been
in just soxy, he would have suffered a severe bite
from the copperhead. So I would recommend that all the
people out there in radio Land google that snake and
(21:25):
so they can identify it and if they come across it,
just kind of avoid it.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Okay, So copper heads are out, snake treppor what wonderful
advice to give right before a holiday weekend.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
Thank you for that, yes, sir on Henry, And like
I said, that is not one of the most dangerous
venomous snakes we fool with in this area. If you
receive a bike from a copperhead, if it hits you
just in a muscle, I mean, you're gonna have a
nasty wound. It's gonna take it four or five days
(21:56):
to heal, but you will survive. Now, if it fit
hit say blood vessel or a main artery, you will
be in serious trouble. The deaths are mainly caused by
diamondbacks or cotton mouse. But yes, sir, the copperhead does
produce a nasty bite. So just just kind of be
aware and know your surroundings. They're probably looking for cool
(22:19):
places to get into. So you know, like I said,
every report I'm getting the copperheads are very plentiful this year.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
All right, well, snake Trapper, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yes all for Henry.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
You have a good day, my booby two.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
There you go, Snake Trapper with very valuable information. Now.
Buford has told us in his voicemails through the last
few years that he lives down in the Dog River area,
So if you live in the Dog River area, be
advised that there is copperhead activity in the Dog River area. Hello,
Coler Henry LD, the mad trucker.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Look, you know, I'm retired now. I'm trying to be
a kinder, gentler person. And I just offered that guy
sandwich with the you know, the warmth in my heart
right that he would want it, right, he didn't want it.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Well, let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I just want to say this. If I saw your
mother or your.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Wife on the side of the road, I would offer
them a sandwich too, But I don't think there's enough
room in my truck for thirty sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Oh stop that LD dead dum it. I look, I'm
gonna spend time the next time killer Bees bring some
church people in here. We're gonna do an entire segment
trying to pray the demon out of LD. We're gonna
pray the demon out of him, and I'm gonna use
(23:43):
killer Bees to do it. He's gonna bring in. Fact,
I might ask Killer Bees the next time if he
knows some good uh, some pastors that are really good
at that at praying the demons out.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Ld needs hands laid upon him. Uh And I don't
mean slapping him. I mean he he just he needs
to be prayed for and this needs to be prayed
out of him. He's now retired. Why it's I can
imagine this demon wrapped around Eld's skull almost like a
big snake, and we're gonna have to We're gonna have
(24:15):
to get rid of it. We are, and I'm gonna
I'm gonna make that a mission, the the saving of
Ld from that demon, because really, it would really take
some somebody immersed in Satan, somebody with the influence of Satan,
to even suggest that my normal sized mother and my
(24:36):
petit wife would ever be of extra large carriage. That
would be a Satanic suggestion. Two five, one, four, seven, nine,
two seventy two three Hello Color, that's nae yes, sir,
you are alive on the radio.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I hate LB came back on you on that again.
I can't attest I met I met your then wife
to be about two weeks before you got married, and
I can't at test he is of uh normal size
and stature. So, uh, there are witnesses, Thank you, thank you.
I was calling. I was calling along l D, along
(25:18):
the lines of the l D and the homeless. Uh.
You know, some of them can be quite creative. I
don't know if anybody's paid attention. There was one last
summer or summer before last, down at the Grand Bay
exit and uh, I chuckled when I came by and
he was holding up a sign, uh, and it said,
why lie, I need a beer?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Oh, well, honesty. He was trying the authentic approach.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The authentic approach. Yeah, why line, I need a beer?
And these people there were that were stopping and handing
out beers really was happily taking them. Oh yeah, he
was happily taking them and uh and going about his
business with his uh, with his beer collections. So there
are some crew was out there and just I guess
(26:02):
honesty prevails at most any anything.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And where where was this? Where was he doing this.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
At the Grand Bay exit exit number four?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Okay, so we need to we now know that the
Grand Bay exit is is a lot of people are
traveling with beer in that area.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
That is correct.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Well, thank you, You've given us a wonderful uh story
and a fact we might be able to use in
the future.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There are you good?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
All right? Well, hey, thank you for the kind words
about my normal sized wife.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Oh yeah, congratulations to you, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I really appreciate that. Have a great day, do you think?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
All right? There he goes people just driving around. See
that's people driving around that have beer at the ready.
That is something that that is just that's never been
a part of my life that you would have it
at the ready. There's been beer around, of course, it's
just never been never been just available whenever needed, like
(27:11):
as part of an emergency kit in the car. There
is more to come. There is I'm contractually obligated to
complete the hour. More to come after traffic, weather and
words from our sponsors. Here on news Radio seventy ten.
(27:42):
This says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. It is five fifty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes, and then there's additional show. We've
got a bunch of voicemails that have stacked up, by
the way, if you'd like to leave a message, the
voicemail number is two five one two one six nineteen
seventy six. That is the voicemail number. I started using this,
(28:07):
I guess at the beginning of the year. If you've
been calling the old number, I have not heard your messages.
Two five one two one six nineteen seventy six. That's
two five one two one six nineteen seventy six. Let's
see what we have here.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Hey you Oxpat Newly.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
I hope you're having a great afternoon. Yes, hey, listen,
I'm kind of a little upset about these lawmakers stopping
these hemp cells. I guess maybe I'm not up on
the issue. Would kind of crep up on me.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
I don't buy that hemp that you smoke. I mean
I may partake of a little gummy every now and then,
but you know, the uh, it's a federal farming bill
that allowed for the selle of hemp well up to
three percent. But I don't know what they're selling at
(29:05):
these little smoke shops.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I mean, now you say what they're selling. What they
used to sell at these little smoke shops, because now
they ain't selling it anymore.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
It looks like a bud of weed. I mean a
friend of mine told me it looks like a bud
of weed.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Now this, by the way, listener, this must be some
type of dope head slang talk to hear. So if
you if you don't understand it, you might just turn
on the internet and try and find out what this
all these slang terms are about.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Told me it looks like a bud of weed, and
it smells like a bud of weed. But anyway, I
was in panic mode because I go to the Pigley
wiggy On University and they got these little camp.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Seltzers kemp seltzers.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
And uh, I've been drinking them things since I found
them down there at Greer's Saint Louis Market Gres.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
By the way, Griers celebrating their one hundred and ninth
anniversary this month. Happy one hundred ninth anniversary to Griers.
Grier's got it. I guaranteed they'll.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Take the edge off of you. But I'm wondering about
these people that use that hemp for pain relief. It's
not dope pets now, and the ones that use it
to sleep.
Speaker 9 (30:29):
In the PTSD.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Again, if I'm not mistaken, that farm bill allowed hemp sales.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
What is up with Alabama?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
They got reefer this legal admitted these states, and they
don't let these people sell hemp. I mean, hemp ain't marijuana.
That's what people don't understand. Hemp is not marijuana. Anyway.
I'm not a stoner up anyways, I hope you have
a good afternoon and Relati.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Thank you Pat Nellie for your voicemail. I don't understand
all the ins and outs of it, either, the hemp
versus the traditional dope. I'm confused by the new law
in that I was, and I talked about it last
night in the six o'clock hour of this show where
(31:22):
there's some provision. I think this stuff that you're calling
this hemp stuff that you say looks like regular marijuana.
Now it's a felony to have it in Alabama, if
I understand it correctly. It's now felony to have it.
But if somebody's transporting it, Let's say they're transporting the
(31:49):
hemp from Georgia, driving from Georgia through to Mississippi. They
can do that, but you're still not allowed to add
actually have it on you in Alabama. So I'm confused
by it. How can you drive through the state with
it but it's still a felony to have see, I
(32:09):
don't get it. I don't understand it myself, and so
I guess we'll all have to wait and see how
this is all going to work out. I know there's
at least one lawsuit in the works against the law.
Now I wouldn't come and I wouldn't hold your breath
(32:30):
on a judge saying that the law is unconstitutional or
something like that, because this is Alabama. Alabama will be
the last state and now more than ever, just watching
all this, Alabama will be the last state or legalized
dope smoking. So if you were maybe you came here
(32:50):
to Alabama to flee all of the legalized dope around
the country, Well you picked a good place, I think,
because I think Alabama will be the last place that
will legalized dope smoking, just like Alabama will be the
last place to have full on legalized gambling. Just Alabama
will be last on those things. And that is and
(33:15):
if you have if you'd like to change that, you're
going to have to be persuasive. And we've kind of
lost in this country the art of persuasion. You may
have noticed people would rather fight than try to persuade
each other. There is more to come. I got a
(33:39):
little bit more Uncle Henry Show coming up after the
top of the hour. News break here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTMAN. This is the Uncle Henry Show here
(34:15):
on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. Thank you. I appreciate
you listening to the Uncle Henry Show. I really do.
Now in this half hour of show, going to get
to some Uncle Henry Show voicemails and also perhaps a
news item or two. Let's start with some voicemail. Voicemail
(34:39):
number two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six,
that's two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six
to leave a message for the Uncle Henry Show. This
message was phoned in this morning.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
Oh kata, beautiful morning out of here on the front
porch in West Locks to the Alabama, USA on this
two July two k twenty five. Uncle, I'm curious about something.
I'd follow a few podcasts around the States, most is
(35:12):
not all our sports related one that I follows in
Birmingham after yesterday, well, we'll be back next Monday. Y'all
have a happy fourth about that blank taking that long?
And then today one that I listened to out of Montgomery, Well,
we'll be back next Monday. Have a happy fourth. My goodness, gracious. Now,
(35:37):
I know after today you won't be on there, but
you'll still be working. These clowns were saying about, you know,
talking about where they were vacationing and all that good stuff.
But I know that you're working the gig tomorrow and
I think you got another one this weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yes, I'm sorry about pausing sixty seven or sixty eight
year old Chris's voicemail sixty eight year old Chris of
West Locksley talking about how he's all these podcasts he's
listening to around in the sports community, or people are
taking off starting on like a Tuesday. But yes, I
will not be on the air on WNTM tomorrow, but
(36:22):
I'm going to be on ninety five KSJ tomorrow and
then as soon as my shift is over on ninety
five KSJ, I'm driving down to the wharf in beautiful
Orange Beach, Alabama for the Red Clay Strays concert. One
of three nights in a row the Red Clay Strays
are going to be there, and then I will be
going back to the wharf Saturday for the Red Clay
(36:44):
Strays concert. So if you're going to the Thursday Red
Clay Strays concert or the Saturday Red Clay Strads concert.
You can come and meet me, talk to me if
you'd like to have a talk show conversation with me.
I'll be right near wharf ticket gate number four with
the ninety five KSJ tent. Shelby Mitchell will be with you,
what will be with me, and we'll all be sweating.
(37:07):
We'll just be sweating happily together. Sixty seven year old
Chris and you described it as work, a gig, to
use the slang term, it's kind of worksh I don't
know that. I don't feel like it's work because all
I'm really doing is meeting radio listeners, and most of
the time the people I meet when I'm representing ninety
five KSJ or WNTM are just it's great fun for me.
(37:31):
I'm having fun meeting listeners and hearing what they like
and what they don't like and all that kind of stuff.
So it's kind of kind of like work. I guess
the hardest part of it is actually driving there, which
sometimes it'll take me two and a half hours or
three hours to get from Midtown Mobile depending on the
(37:53):
time of the year. Down to the wharf. But anyway,
sixty seven year old Chris, I'm kind of working, kind
of sort of, But you're asking about people slacking off.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Good stuff.
Speaker 9 (38:03):
And but I know that you're working the gig tomorrow
and I think you got another one this weekend. But uh,
I wonder if everybody else around the news Radio seventy
ten is slacking off, like a lot of these other
people seem to be slacking off, why didn't they just
(38:27):
go ahead and take the whole dad blame WEEKO. I mean,
you know what happened? What happened to working.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Until it's the holiday or whatever?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Oh, I got a theory on this. By the way,
you asked about the people around news Radio seventy ten.
I'm the I'm the only local person that is on
news Radio seven ten WNT, So I don't know. I
don't know what. Now. There are people in the company
that that handle things on WN ten, but I don't
even I don't know where they are or who they are.
(38:58):
So I don't know if they're slacking or not this week.
But uh, around the building, I don't know anybody that
took parseh part of the week off. I don't know
anybody that has done that, but you feel like they're
slacking off. Huh. Well, if if a company gives you
a certain number of vacation days a year, what difference
(39:21):
does it? What difference does it make when you take
the day? Oh, by the way, let's see you. You
mentioned people getting lazy. Whatever happened if you were working
until the holiday? What did you say?
Speaker 6 (39:36):
What happened?
Speaker 9 (39:38):
What happened to working until it's the holiday or whatever? Think,
for sure are getting lazy in this country, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (39:47):
All right? Look, I've got my theory on this. There's
just a snap theory that is not based on intelligence
or evidence, just in my mind, in my imagination. You
may remember COVID lit downs. You may remember where people
who did have to work were told no, do not work,
(40:10):
stay at your house and will send you a check.
I think a lot of people. I think that really
affected people and their their attitudes toward a job and
their attitudes about being idle. I think people are more
comfortable being idle than they used to be. There's just
(40:31):
a personal opinion, personal opinion time, But this happened to
a lot of people. And if you're working, if you're
working a low wage job, that's pretty lousy. Where you're
trying to work your way into this or work your
way into that, and then you're told to take some
time off and they give you a check and get
you get the you get used to the feeling. You
get used to the feeling of being idle and non
(40:54):
productive and still getting paid for it. That is probably
something that some workers are still reminiscing abouts. There are
probably people in this country nostalgic about COVID because they
got to sit around for a while. That's just a
just a theory, and I'm sure that all depends on
(41:15):
your personal situation and what kind of job you have.
But if it's not a job that you feel like
has meaning that a lot of people out there probably
have changed their attitudes completely about work or whatever.
Speaker 9 (41:29):
People sure are getting lazy in this country, aren't they.
All Right, I'm gonna check it out and let you
know a little bit later. Have many more days we've
got I know, fall practice opens up. I believe it's
four weeks from this Saturday. I mean I'm not Saturday,
four weeks from either tomorrow or Friday, and then about
(41:54):
three or four more weeks after that. You got you
opener against Florida State. I'll give you the exact date
and let you know about what they are good in
the meantime, if I don't speak to you again, hey,
you take it easy to have a good win.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
In roll roll tiede row. Thank you very much, sixty
eight year old Chris of West Locksley for your kind
words and your your comments. Your but people people, people
are more well you've noticed, Chris, not only do not
only are people uh getting they got used to being
(42:29):
idle during COVID. Now there's all this clamoring for a
four day week work week and work life balance and
all that kind of stuff. All right, Look, hey, I've
got more Uncle Henry Show coming up. I got to
take a break for traffic and weather and words from
our sponsors. I'll be back in a moment. Let's take
the break. Let's take the break. This is the Uncle
(43:07):
Henry Show. These radio seventy ten WNTM news headlines coming
up in ten minutes. Before we get to the news
headlines more show. In the last segment of the show,
sixty eight year old Chris was asking the question about
(43:29):
He was asking if people have been slacking off around
here and talked about people getting lazier in this country.
One more thing on that, sixty eight year old Chris
of west Locksley, another thing that occurred to me. You
might remember as a child being taught that hard work
was a virtue, that hard work built character. That was
(43:55):
told to me all throughout my childhood, that hard work
built character, and that that was a virtue. And there's
a lot of stuff in proverbs if you look in
there about working hard. But the last generation or two,
what have they been taught about work? You got a
lot of Americans that have been taught that corporations are bad,
(44:19):
that whoever you're working for is making huge profit off
your efforts, and it's just you might as well not
even go over that you're you're just being stolen from
when you go to work, and all that kind of stuff.
We also have all this discussion of a concept called
work life balance, asking people, is your work life balance correct?
(44:40):
Do you have too much work and not enough life?
When was that phrase invented? Work life balance? Back in
the day you had to work in order to have
a life. And sixty eight year old Chris as I said,
we've had all these people now clamoring for a four
(45:01):
day work week, acting like you know, once upon a time,
you just worked until the until the job was done,
and you were you were praying that you got Sunday
off so you could worship. You'd work until the job
was done. Now people act like five days a week
(45:25):
is just too much. It's just too much where they
just can't handle it. How are we going to survive?
How could we possibly have a good life if we're
working five full days week and they want to cut
it down to four. And I'm sure four day work
week will happen once they have more a I and robots.
You'll I don't know. I don't know what what it's
(45:47):
going to do to society, But sixty eight year old Chris,
I think we we came along at a good time
in history, at least to be an American citizen on
planet Earth. Let me see do I have I want
to have time for another voicemail real quick. Let's hear
from the snake Trapper.
Speaker 6 (46:03):
Hey O, Henry snake Trapper, hey man. First of all,
I'd like to give my condolences to the family of
the murdered firefighters in Idaho on Henry tragedy Marble, and
I see where the family members of the shooter has
(46:23):
come out and give their condolences and claimed that they
don't know what happened. Well, Uncle Henry, I'm going to
use my speculatory knowledge and tell you probably exactly what happened,
all right, Oh Henry. They have never exposed that child
(46:44):
to Jesus, probably never told him who he was, never
told him about his teachings, and therefore they allowed evil
to enter that child's heart.
Speaker 7 (46:59):
Very horrible.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
But Uncle Henry, if you out there and you don't
know who Jesus is, you are a lost soul. You
need to find out who he is, what he died for,
and your purposes in life. We are here on this
earth for a very short time. Your material things and
(47:24):
your pleasures in life are just the blink of an eye.
Speaker 9 (47:30):
Amen, you prepare yourself for eternity. Yes, I'm Henry.
Speaker 6 (47:34):
I'm not worried about dying because I know that Jesus
Christ died for me, and the minute I leave this world,
I do believe I will be in the presence of
God by.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
The way, And because of that, I do not believe
in ghosts. All these people talking about there's a ghost
of a there's a ghost of an old lady at
the top of that house over there on the next street.
And now I don't believe there's an old lady ghost
up there, I'm sure. Anyway, back to the voicemail, I
am I'm with you, snake trapper. I am with you.
Speaker 6 (48:08):
Christ died for me, and the minute I leave this world,
I do believe I will be in the presence of God. Yes,
So you know you're kind of like you almost looking
forward to it, you know, not saying I want, I'm
ready right now.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
But you know what I'm saying, I do, I do,
I do.
Speaker 6 (48:30):
There's a lot of evil in this world. There is,
and it's said, but you know, you you if you
don't expose your child to Jesus Christ, uh you are,
there is a big chance they'll get evil.
Speaker 7 (48:45):
In their heart.
Speaker 6 (48:46):
It's just just the way it is over handing them.
Just my thoughts, uh, you know, like I said, I'm
grieving with the family members of the firefighters, you know,
and I and they will peace in this tragedy, free
Jesus Christ. That's just my thought.
Speaker 2 (49:06):
Uncle.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
You have a good day, buddy, youk snack Trevor, thank
you very much for sharing that that kind of a testimony.
Thank you for that, and I'm with you on all
of that. And we're out of time for another edition
of the Uncle Henry Show. I will be back Monday
with new shows, and I hope good stories to tell
(49:27):
from whatever it is I encounter over the long holiday weekend.

if you like to discuss the times that we live in.
(02:57):
Two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
The telephone number that's two five one four seven nine
two seventy two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
dot com. Now, I hope you've had a wonderful whatever
day of the week it is. What is it Wednesday,
I hope you. I hope you've had a wonderful Wednesday.
I have. I spent some time on ninety five KSJ
today playing Morgan Wallen and then additional Morgan Wallen and
(03:19):
a little bit more Morgan Wallen. So I did that
on ninety five KSJ. Then I went out wes Mobile
and I met with doctor Thomas Bender of Advanced Dermatology
and Skincare Center, who had a wonderful talk about the
differences between the differences and similarities between a topic dermatitis
and psoriasis. I've learned. I learned quite a bit today.
(03:40):
I feel like I should get credentials in some way.
And then I left doctor Bender of Advanced Dermatology and
I went and talked spent some time at Mahindra of Mobile.
It was so wonderful to go and just spend some
time with some tractors. You know, tractors, They just they
bring out something in a man. I don't know what
they brought out of me, but I think it's good
(04:00):
whatever they brought out of me. Just spend just I've
had a wonderful time running around in beautiful Mobile County
in all of the heat, just enjoying the beautiful heat
that we have here, one of our natural resources. And
now I'm here back at the station with you to
talk about whatever is going on in the world now.
The City of Mobile, in anticipation of the fourth of
(04:25):
July Independence Day holiday, they've been putting out press releases
today so that the citizens will know how to behave
there are there. And this has been happening more and
more as each year goes by, that people are less parented,
people are doing less parenting, they're letting the TV parent
(04:46):
the child. They're letting the school teachers parent the child.
There's just a lot less parenting going on, and so
because there's not enough parenting, the government feels like it
needs to continuously parent people. And let's see, we've got
all kinds of things here. Let's see. The first press
release is about the Downtown Mobile curfew. The subject line
(05:10):
on this email is Downtown curfew reminder. This came from
the public affairs manager of Mobile, Blake Brown. He writes,
as the fourth of July holiday approaches, we want to
remind everyone about the curfew regulations for individuals under the
age of eighteen in the Downtown Entertainment District. The Mobile
(05:31):
Police will enforce the curfew from ten pm to five
am daily to protect our community's youth. We appreciate the
cooperation and understanding from all community members during this time.
We also urge parents and guardians to be aware of
(05:52):
the curfew times and a company the young ones during
late hours to ensure their safety and add hand terrance
to the ordinance. So just a reminder to you and
me and to everybody under the age of eighteen that
you can't be running around in Downtown Mobile after ten PM.
(06:12):
And this is generally speaking, if you're eighteen and under,
why are you out at night? Anyway? You've got no
reaton now. It's still allegedly a free country, so I
still I would love for you to be able to
do as you wish as an American. But what are
you doing now?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Get home?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It's after dark? What are you doing out here? All right? Anyway,
curfew will be enforced in downtown Mobile. Just a reminder.
Let's see who we have here.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Hello, Color, good evening, Henry.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Bert Bert, you are alive on the radio.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Okay, this is a sad story that I've got to
comment on. But I've got to put in my two
sets on this one.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
All right.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
There was a young man's in a who deala Idaho,
which is, by the way, a very very beautiful place.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I've been there.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
And he started a fire so that the firefighters could
be brought in, and he was laying in wait for
the firefighters with a loaded gun. Yes, his intention was
to kill firefighters right now. At first I didn't know
what this was all about. Wines that did he have
a beef with a particular firefighter that he wanted to
(07:28):
take out of this world? Well, recently, I saw a
Facebook post that explained everything, and it's infuriating. Uncle Henry.
The story of this young man is infuriating. He is
a poster child for the failure of our criminal justice
system in this country and our mental health system. He
(07:54):
went after a woman with a knife and I never
learned the motivation why he did this. But he was
originally charged with a felony for doing this, and it
was plea bargain down to a misdemeanor, so he only
did six months and then he was released and there
(08:18):
was mental health.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
The value with all right, wait, Bert, I've got to
go to break. Would you like to hold on to
tell the rest of your tale?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
All right, please do all right, listener, we got traffic
and weather coming up. Words from our sponsors. The Uncle
Henry Show will continue. I'll be back, Bert will be back,
and who knows what else will occur in the next
segment of the show. It is a mystery until it happens.
(09:01):
Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WN ten,
but it's five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.
In the last segment of the show, we went into
the break with Bert describing this horrible case out of Idaho,
out of Idaho where a young person shot at these firefighters. Now, Bert,
(09:26):
you were telling the story that the guy had been
accused of stabbing a woman with a knife, and it
was plaid down to a misdemeanor, and then what happened.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
What happened was this person is walking free among those
who should have been walking free. Right, that's the bottom line.
They said, Well, he's twenty years old, but he's living
in his car. Why is that, Uncle Henry? When I
was twenty years old, I was still living with my
(09:59):
parents and attending the University of South Alabama, Go Jays,
and I can't imagine why somebody would be homeless at
the age of twenty. Well, I finally found out when
I researched it on a Facebook post. This young man
(10:20):
threatened everybody in the world. He was under fore order
to stay away from his family because he had threatened them.
He had threatened everybody alive on this earth. He saw police, firefighters,
everybody that was an authority figure as an enemy. And
that's why he went after firefighters. That's why he applied
(10:42):
to be a firefighter, because he wanted to kill firefighters.
His next Cark target would probably have been police, so
he had to start with firefighters.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So Bert, your point of making the call is that
we are the justice system and mental health services severely
lacking nationwide to deal with people like this. There seems
to be no avenue to deal with people that have
flipped out like this guy did.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
People that really really need to be in a padded cell.
I mean, this guy needed to be in a straight
tacket in a padded cell, and instead our legal system
and our mental health system allowed this German as I see,
to walk free among us with a loaded gun. And
(11:36):
by the way, one of the you know, I had
many many problems with Governor Bentley. Yes, one of the
biggest problems I had with Bentley was that he shut
down Seerse Hospital because there were people who were at
Seirce that really really needed to be in a padded cell.
(11:59):
Right now, walk free among us, now walk free among us,
threatening all of us. That's the bottom line. That's the
stufff can my call. There are people walking free among
us who really need to be in a fatted cell.
This guy in Idaho was one of them.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Bert, thank you so much, Thank you for your phone call.
Thank you for bringing it up. Goodbye, all right, and
then he hung up. All right, thank you Bert for
disconnecting the phone line. Two five one four seven nine
two s two three the telephone number here on the
Oulk Cleaner Show. And yes, the he the We all
(12:42):
have seen examples in the news of people that have
flipped down, that have mental issues, well documented mental issues
going back, that did not get any kind of help
or not the right kind of help that they needed. Uh.
We many of us have it affecting us in our
daily lives in a variety of ways. And this is
all over the country and it is never seems to
(13:04):
be a priority, does not seem to be a priority
at all among the political class, and maybe not even voters,
because when you look at at people listening issues on
what they might vote for, what are their top issues
in an election, it could be anything from economy, national security,
(13:26):
stuff like that. People don't bring up the mental health thing.
But we're all affected by it, aren't we. Two five
to one four seven nine two seven two three. The
telephone number that's two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
dot com. Now, let's see I did get a voicemail
(13:47):
that kind of relates to mental health. Today, the Mad
Trucker placed a phone call to the Uncle Henry.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
Show ocle Henry ld Well, I'm wavling well pulling out
of the big box store out here on Range Line Road,
and there's a guy over there on the side of
the road, and he looks kind of hungry, looks kind
of tired, you know. So let me tell you what
I did, Uncle Henry. I bought my lunch in there,
which was a loaf of bread and a little package
(14:17):
of that. But egg corn beef costs eighty eight cents.
Well stead eating two sandwiches on the way home, Uncle Henry,
I saved myself a lot of money doing that.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
All right, I'm pausing there just to say I want
to thank LD for sharing his frugality with the listener
many listeners right now, a lot of people are still
even though we've seen some prices come down, we're still
trying to make ends meet because of these last several
years of rampant inflation, and LD with an important money
(14:50):
saving tip in modern In modern slang, you might call
it a life hack. And instead of owing to a
fast food establishment, LD is buying bread and a package
of corned beef that cost eighty eight cents of making
his own sandwiches. He is being frugal. That is an
(15:12):
LD life hat because my lovely wife, as an example,
she wanted to have a hamburger and some iced tea
a few weeks ago. Her hamburger and iced tea cost
nine bucks nine dollars. Now, I didn't say that when
she told me that. I didn't yell nine dollars. I
(15:33):
don't do that because we're newlyweds. But yeah, loaf of
bread and a package of corned beef, what LD outstanding frugality?
All right? Back to the.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Message cost eighty eight cent, well said eating two sandwiches
on the way home, Uncle Henry, I saved myself.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
A lot of money doing that.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
I made him a sandwich and I handed it to him.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
All right, so LD sees a man that looks like
he needs help on the side of the road, and
he makes him a corn beef sandwich and hands it
to him. And then this is the side of LD
that you rarely hear. We normally you hear the demonic
side where he's attacking my family due to some type
(16:16):
of demonic affliction. In his life. But this is the
angelic side of LD. He's making sandwiches for people on
the sidewalks.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I made him a sandwich and I handed it to him,
and he thanked me for it, Uncle Henry. He really
did thank me for it. And guess what he did,
Uncle Henry. I looked in the rear view mirror, and
when I passed him, he threw it onto the ground.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
Never help him again?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Never all right, Well, that's kind of a sand It's
kind of a sad end to your call. LD. Look
l D, don't lose, don't lose faith. Don't lose faith. Yes,
this man rejected your delicious eighty eight cent corn beef sandwich.
(17:06):
He rejected it. Yes, but in the future there might
be somebody that there might be somebody that really appreciates it,
and you really help with that gesture. Don't stop those
gestures of kindness, LDE, don't stop the gestures of kindness.
And you don't know. This man may have thrown the sandwich,
(17:27):
but your act of kindness to him may permeate his
mind and cause him to may cause him to turn
over a new leaf. You never know, it, says the
(17:53):
Uncle Henry show here on these Radio seven to ten WNTM,
it is five thirty five. You can also hear me
Monday through Friday on ninety five k s JAY, where
we play today's hottest country music. And starting tomorrow afternoon
(18:14):
on ninety five KSJ, it's an iHeart Country Fourth of
July weekend where we're going to be playing a lot
of patriotic songs and some great throwback music, summertime songs.
That's all weekend long on ninety five KSJ starting tomorrow afternoon,
the iHeart Country Fourth of July weekend. And if you're
(18:35):
going to see the Red Clay Stras concerts down in
Orange Beach, Red Klay Strains are going to be in
concert three nights in a row, and I've looked, and
I mean they are. They may sell out all three nights.
This is quite an accomplishment by a local band to
sell that many tickets. It's gonna be great if you're
(18:57):
going to the If you're going to the concert tomorrow,
look for me and Shelby from ninety five KSJ. We're
going to be there tomorrow right near wharf ticket gate
number four that is right down down from Alentime Dacres.
And then we'll be back there Saturday. We'll be back
there Saturday at the Red Clay Stras concert. So if
you're there to see the concert, if you're just at
(19:18):
the wharf Thursday or Saturday afternoon, stop over and say hello.
I would love to talk to you down there at
the Red Clay Stras concert. Two five one four seven
nine two two three The telephone number to call. We've
got a couple of people holding here. Let me go
right back to the phone.
Speaker 9 (19:32):
Hello caller, Hey on man, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Snake Trapper? Snake Trapper, you are live on the.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Radio on Hendry.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
I don't know if it's all sun spots or solar flares,
but uh, something is going on with AT and T phones.
That just started over the past few minutes. My mother
in law can't call in or call out and when
she does, you know, And I called your show on
my phone and all of a sudden it started acting
up adopted call. So I'm actually calling you from the
brides on Uncle Henry. But besides that, man, what I
(20:03):
called to tell you about Uncle Henry? Longtime caller Buford
text messaged me an identification the snake identification picture of
a snake that his wife come across on her morning walk.
Uncle Henry had wind up being a juvenile copperhead. I
told him it's a very very venomous snake, dangerous stairway
(20:25):
from it. And also to his neighbor cutting his grass
come across a larger copperhead. So I just want to
let people out there in radio Land know, Uncle Henry,
that the uh for some reason, and I don't know why,
the copperhead snake population is very plentiful this year. A
(20:46):
neighbor in monroevill Or a coworker in Monroebl's friend went
to get in his car this morning and felt something
hit his foot and looked down Uncle Henry, and a
juvenile copperhead had.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Hit him on his ankle.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
Now, baby copperhead doesn't have long enough things to go
through boots and a pair of blue jeans. But the
spot was wet where the copperhead hit him, so I
had not been for the boots. If it had been
in just soxy, he would have suffered a severe bite
from the copperhead. So I would recommend that all the
people out there in radio Land google that snake and
(21:25):
so they can identify it and if they come across it,
just kind of avoid it.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Okay, So copper heads are out, snake treppor what wonderful
advice to give right before a holiday weekend.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
Thank you for that, yes, sir on Henry, And like
I said, that is not one of the most dangerous
venomous snakes we fool with in this area. If you
receive a bike from a copperhead, if it hits you
just in a muscle, I mean, you're gonna have a
nasty wound. It's gonna take it four or five days
(21:56):
to heal, but you will survive. Now, if it fit
hit say blood vessel or a main artery, you will
be in serious trouble. The deaths are mainly caused by
diamondbacks or cotton mouse. But yes, sir, the copperhead does
produce a nasty bite. So just just kind of be
aware and know your surroundings. They're probably looking for cool
(22:19):
places to get into. So you know, like I said,
every report I'm getting the copperheads are very plentiful this year.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
All right, well, snake Trapper, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yes all for Henry.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
You have a good day, my booby two.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
There you go, Snake Trapper with very valuable information. Now.
Buford has told us in his voicemails through the last
few years that he lives down in the Dog River area,
So if you live in the Dog River area, be
advised that there is copperhead activity in the Dog River area. Hello,
Coler Henry LD, the mad trucker.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Look, you know, I'm retired now. I'm trying to be
a kinder, gentler person. And I just offered that guy
sandwich with the you know, the warmth in my heart
right that he would want it, right, he didn't want it.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Well, let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I just want to say this. If I saw your
mother or your.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Wife on the side of the road, I would offer
them a sandwich too, But I don't think there's enough
room in my truck for thirty sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Oh stop that LD dead dum it. I look, I'm
gonna spend time the next time killer Bees bring some
church people in here. We're gonna do an entire segment
trying to pray the demon out of LD. We're gonna
pray the demon out of him, and I'm gonna use
(23:43):
killer Bees to do it. He's gonna bring in. Fact,
I might ask Killer Bees the next time if he
knows some good uh, some pastors that are really good
at that at praying the demons out.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Ld needs hands laid upon him. Uh And I don't
mean slapping him. I mean he he just he needs
to be prayed for and this needs to be prayed
out of him. He's now retired. Why it's I can
imagine this demon wrapped around Eld's skull almost like a
big snake, and we're gonna have to We're gonna have
(24:15):
to get rid of it. We are, and I'm gonna
I'm gonna make that a mission, the the saving of
Ld from that demon, because really, it would really take
some somebody immersed in Satan, somebody with the influence of Satan,
to even suggest that my normal sized mother and my
(24:36):
petit wife would ever be of extra large carriage. That
would be a Satanic suggestion. Two five, one, four, seven, nine,
two seventy two three Hello Color, that's nae yes, sir,
you are alive on the radio.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I hate LB came back on you on that again.
I can't attest I met I met your then wife
to be about two weeks before you got married, and
I can't at test he is of uh normal size
and stature. So, uh, there are witnesses, Thank you, thank you.
I was calling. I was calling along l D, along
(25:18):
the lines of the l D and the homeless. Uh.
You know, some of them can be quite creative. I
don't know if anybody's paid attention. There was one last
summer or summer before last, down at the Grand Bay
exit and uh, I chuckled when I came by and
he was holding up a sign, uh, and it said,
why lie, I need a beer?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Oh, well, honesty. He was trying the authentic approach.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The authentic approach. Yeah, why line, I need a beer?
And these people there were that were stopping and handing
out beers really was happily taking them. Oh yeah, he
was happily taking them and uh and going about his
business with his uh, with his beer collections. So there
are some crew was out there and just I guess
(26:02):
honesty prevails at most any anything.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And where where was this? Where was he doing this.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
At the Grand Bay exit exit number four?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Okay, so we need to we now know that the
Grand Bay exit is is a lot of people are
traveling with beer in that area.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
That is correct.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Well, thank you, You've given us a wonderful uh story
and a fact we might be able to use in
the future.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There are you good?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
All right? Well, hey, thank you for the kind words
about my normal sized wife.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Oh yeah, congratulations to you, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I really appreciate that. Have a great day, do you think?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
All right? There he goes people just driving around. See
that's people driving around that have beer at the ready.
That is something that that is just that's never been
a part of my life that you would have it
at the ready. There's been beer around, of course, it's
just never been never been just available whenever needed, like
(27:11):
as part of an emergency kit in the car. There
is more to come. There is I'm contractually obligated to
complete the hour. More to come after traffic, weather and
words from our sponsors. Here on news Radio seventy ten.
(27:42):
This says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. It is five fifty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes, and then there's additional show. We've
got a bunch of voicemails that have stacked up, by
the way, if you'd like to leave a message, the
voicemail number is two five one two one six nineteen
seventy six. That is the voicemail number. I started using this,
(28:07):
I guess at the beginning of the year. If you've
been calling the old number, I have not heard your messages.
Two five one two one six nineteen seventy six. That's
two five one two one six nineteen seventy six. Let's
see what we have here.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Hey you Oxpat Newly.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
I hope you're having a great afternoon. Yes, hey, listen,
I'm kind of a little upset about these lawmakers stopping
these hemp cells. I guess maybe I'm not up on
the issue. Would kind of crep up on me.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
I don't buy that hemp that you smoke. I mean
I may partake of a little gummy every now and then,
but you know, the uh, it's a federal farming bill
that allowed for the selle of hemp well up to
three percent. But I don't know what they're selling at
(29:05):
these little smoke shops.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I mean, now you say what they're selling. What they
used to sell at these little smoke shops, because now
they ain't selling it anymore.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
It looks like a bud of weed. I mean a
friend of mine told me it looks like a bud
of weed.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Now this, by the way, listener, this must be some
type of dope head slang talk to hear. So if
you if you don't understand it, you might just turn
on the internet and try and find out what this
all these slang terms are about.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Told me it looks like a bud of weed, and
it smells like a bud of weed. But anyway, I
was in panic mode because I go to the Pigley
wiggy On University and they got these little camp.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Seltzers kemp seltzers.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
And uh, I've been drinking them things since I found
them down there at Greer's Saint Louis Market Gres.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
By the way, Griers celebrating their one hundred and ninth
anniversary this month. Happy one hundred ninth anniversary to Griers.
Grier's got it. I guaranteed they'll.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Take the edge off of you. But I'm wondering about
these people that use that hemp for pain relief. It's
not dope pets now, and the ones that use it
to sleep.
Speaker 9 (30:29):
In the PTSD.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Again, if I'm not mistaken, that farm bill allowed hemp sales.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
What is up with Alabama?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
They got reefer this legal admitted these states, and they
don't let these people sell hemp. I mean, hemp ain't marijuana.
That's what people don't understand. Hemp is not marijuana. Anyway.
I'm not a stoner up anyways, I hope you have
a good afternoon and Relati.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Thank you Pat Nellie for your voicemail. I don't understand
all the ins and outs of it, either, the hemp
versus the traditional dope. I'm confused by the new law
in that I was, and I talked about it last
night in the six o'clock hour of this show where
(31:22):
there's some provision. I think this stuff that you're calling
this hemp stuff that you say looks like regular marijuana.
Now it's a felony to have it in Alabama, if
I understand it correctly. It's now felony to have it.
But if somebody's transporting it, Let's say they're transporting the
(31:49):
hemp from Georgia, driving from Georgia through to Mississippi. They
can do that, but you're still not allowed to add
actually have it on you in Alabama. So I'm confused
by it. How can you drive through the state with
it but it's still a felony to have see, I
(32:09):
don't get it. I don't understand it myself, and so
I guess we'll all have to wait and see how
this is all going to work out. I know there's
at least one lawsuit in the works against the law.
Now I wouldn't come and I wouldn't hold your breath
(32:30):
on a judge saying that the law is unconstitutional or
something like that, because this is Alabama. Alabama will be
the last state and now more than ever, just watching
all this, Alabama will be the last state or legalized
dope smoking. So if you were maybe you came here
(32:50):
to Alabama to flee all of the legalized dope around
the country, Well you picked a good place, I think,
because I think Alabama will be the last place that
will legalized dope smoking, just like Alabama will be the
last place to have full on legalized gambling. Just Alabama
will be last on those things. And that is and
(33:15):
if you have if you'd like to change that, you're
going to have to be persuasive. And we've kind of
lost in this country the art of persuasion. You may
have noticed people would rather fight than try to persuade
each other. There is more to come. I got a
(33:39):
little bit more Uncle Henry Show coming up after the
top of the hour. News break here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTMAN. This is the Uncle Henry Show here
(34:15):
on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. Thank you. I appreciate
you listening to the Uncle Henry Show. I really do.
Now in this half hour of show, going to get
to some Uncle Henry Show voicemails and also perhaps a
news item or two. Let's start with some voicemail. Voicemail
(34:39):
number two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six,
that's two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six
to leave a message for the Uncle Henry Show. This
message was phoned in this morning.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
Oh kata, beautiful morning out of here on the front
porch in West Locks to the Alabama, USA on this
two July two k twenty five. Uncle, I'm curious about something.
I'd follow a few podcasts around the States, most is
(35:12):
not all our sports related one that I follows in
Birmingham after yesterday, well, we'll be back next Monday. Y'all
have a happy fourth about that blank taking that long?
And then today one that I listened to out of Montgomery, Well,
we'll be back next Monday. Have a happy fourth. My goodness, gracious. Now,
(35:37):
I know after today you won't be on there, but
you'll still be working. These clowns were saying about, you know,
talking about where they were vacationing and all that good stuff.
But I know that you're working the gig tomorrow and
I think you got another one this weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yes, I'm sorry about pausing sixty seven or sixty eight
year old Chris's voicemail sixty eight year old Chris of
West Locksley talking about how he's all these podcasts he's
listening to around in the sports community, or people are
taking off starting on like a Tuesday. But yes, I
will not be on the air on WNTM tomorrow, but
(36:22):
I'm going to be on ninety five KSJ tomorrow and
then as soon as my shift is over on ninety
five KSJ, I'm driving down to the wharf in beautiful
Orange Beach, Alabama for the Red Clay Strays concert. One
of three nights in a row the Red Clay Strays
are going to be there, and then I will be
going back to the wharf Saturday for the Red Clay
(36:44):
Strays concert. So if you're going to the Thursday Red
Clay Strays concert or the Saturday Red Clay Strads concert.
You can come and meet me, talk to me if
you'd like to have a talk show conversation with me.
I'll be right near wharf ticket gate number four with
the ninety five KSJ tent. Shelby Mitchell will be with you,
what will be with me, and we'll all be sweating.
(37:07):
We'll just be sweating happily together. Sixty seven year old
Chris and you described it as work, a gig, to
use the slang term, it's kind of worksh I don't
know that. I don't feel like it's work because all
I'm really doing is meeting radio listeners, and most of
the time the people I meet when I'm representing ninety
five KSJ or WNTM are just it's great fun for me.
(37:31):
I'm having fun meeting listeners and hearing what they like
and what they don't like and all that kind of stuff.
So it's kind of kind of like work. I guess
the hardest part of it is actually driving there, which
sometimes it'll take me two and a half hours or
three hours to get from Midtown Mobile depending on the
(37:53):
time of the year. Down to the wharf. But anyway,
sixty seven year old Chris, I'm kind of working, kind
of sort of, But you're asking about people slacking off.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Good stuff.
Speaker 9 (38:03):
And but I know that you're working the gig tomorrow
and I think you got another one this weekend. But uh,
I wonder if everybody else around the news Radio seventy
ten is slacking off, like a lot of these other
people seem to be slacking off, why didn't they just
(38:27):
go ahead and take the whole dad blame WEEKO. I mean,
you know what happened? What happened to working.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Until it's the holiday or whatever?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Oh, I got a theory on this. By the way,
you asked about the people around news Radio seventy ten.
I'm the I'm the only local person that is on
news Radio seven ten WNT, So I don't know. I
don't know what. Now. There are people in the company
that that handle things on WN ten, but I don't
even I don't know where they are or who they are.
(38:58):
So I don't know if they're slacking or not this week.
But uh, around the building, I don't know anybody that
took parseh part of the week off. I don't know
anybody that has done that, but you feel like they're
slacking off. Huh. Well, if if a company gives you
a certain number of vacation days a year, what difference
(39:21):
does it? What difference does it make when you take
the day? Oh, by the way, let's see you. You
mentioned people getting lazy. Whatever happened if you were working
until the holiday? What did you say?
Speaker 6 (39:36):
What happened?
Speaker 9 (39:38):
What happened to working until it's the holiday or whatever? Think,
for sure are getting lazy in this country, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (39:47):
All right? Look, I've got my theory on this. There's
just a snap theory that is not based on intelligence
or evidence, just in my mind, in my imagination. You
may remember COVID lit downs. You may remember where people
who did have to work were told no, do not work,
(40:10):
stay at your house and will send you a check.
I think a lot of people. I think that really
affected people and their their attitudes toward a job and
their attitudes about being idle. I think people are more
comfortable being idle than they used to be. There's just
(40:31):
a personal opinion, personal opinion time, But this happened to
a lot of people. And if you're working, if you're
working a low wage job, that's pretty lousy. Where you're
trying to work your way into this or work your
way into that, and then you're told to take some
time off and they give you a check and get
you get the you get used to the feeling. You
get used to the feeling of being idle and non
(40:54):
productive and still getting paid for it. That is probably
something that some workers are still reminiscing abouts. There are
probably people in this country nostalgic about COVID because they
got to sit around for a while. That's just a
just a theory, and I'm sure that all depends on
(41:15):
your personal situation and what kind of job you have.
But if it's not a job that you feel like
has meaning that a lot of people out there probably
have changed their attitudes completely about work or whatever.
Speaker 9 (41:29):
People sure are getting lazy in this country, aren't they.
All Right, I'm gonna check it out and let you
know a little bit later. Have many more days we've
got I know, fall practice opens up. I believe it's
four weeks from this Saturday. I mean I'm not Saturday,
four weeks from either tomorrow or Friday, and then about
(41:54):
three or four more weeks after that. You got you
opener against Florida State. I'll give you the exact date
and let you know about what they are good in
the meantime, if I don't speak to you again, hey,
you take it easy to have a good win.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
In roll roll tiede row. Thank you very much, sixty
eight year old Chris of West Locksley for your kind
words and your your comments. Your but people people, people
are more well you've noticed, Chris, not only do not
only are people uh getting they got used to being
(42:29):
idle during COVID. Now there's all this clamoring for a
four day week work week and work life balance and
all that kind of stuff. All right, Look, hey, I've
got more Uncle Henry Show coming up. I got to
take a break for traffic and weather and words from
our sponsors. I'll be back in a moment. Let's take
the break. Let's take the break. This is the Uncle
(43:07):
Henry Show. These radio seventy ten WNTM news headlines coming
up in ten minutes. Before we get to the news
headlines more show. In the last segment of the show,
sixty eight year old Chris was asking the question about
(43:29):
He was asking if people have been slacking off around
here and talked about people getting lazier in this country.
One more thing on that, sixty eight year old Chris
of west Locksley, another thing that occurred to me. You
might remember as a child being taught that hard work
was a virtue, that hard work built character. That was
(43:55):
told to me all throughout my childhood, that hard work
built character, and that that was a virtue. And there's
a lot of stuff in proverbs if you look in
there about working hard. But the last generation or two,
what have they been taught about work? You got a
lot of Americans that have been taught that corporations are bad,
(44:19):
that whoever you're working for is making huge profit off
your efforts, and it's just you might as well not
even go over that you're you're just being stolen from
when you go to work, and all that kind of stuff.
We also have all this discussion of a concept called
work life balance, asking people, is your work life balance correct?
(44:40):
Do you have too much work and not enough life?
When was that phrase invented? Work life balance? Back in
the day you had to work in order to have
a life. And sixty eight year old Chris as I said,
we've had all these people now clamoring for a four
(45:01):
day work week, acting like you know, once upon a time,
you just worked until the until the job was done,
and you were you were praying that you got Sunday
off so you could worship. You'd work until the job
was done. Now people act like five days a week
(45:25):
is just too much. It's just too much where they
just can't handle it. How are we going to survive?
How could we possibly have a good life if we're
working five full days week and they want to cut
it down to four. And I'm sure four day work
week will happen once they have more a I and robots.
You'll I don't know. I don't know what what it's
(45:47):
going to do to society, But sixty eight year old Chris,
I think we we came along at a good time
in history, at least to be an American citizen on
planet Earth. Let me see do I have I want
to have time for another voicemail real quick. Let's hear
from the snake Trapper.
Speaker 6 (46:03):
Hey O, Henry snake Trapper, hey man. First of all,
I'd like to give my condolences to the family of
the murdered firefighters in Idaho on Henry tragedy Marble, and
I see where the family members of the shooter has
(46:23):
come out and give their condolences and claimed that they
don't know what happened. Well, Uncle Henry, I'm going to
use my speculatory knowledge and tell you probably exactly what happened,
all right, Oh Henry. They have never exposed that child
(46:44):
to Jesus, probably never told him who he was, never
told him about his teachings, and therefore they allowed evil
to enter that child's heart.
Speaker 7 (46:59):
Very horrible.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
But Uncle Henry, if you out there and you don't
know who Jesus is, you are a lost soul. You
need to find out who he is, what he died for,
and your purposes in life. We are here on this
earth for a very short time. Your material things and
(47:24):
your pleasures in life are just the blink of an eye.
Speaker 9 (47:30):
Amen, you prepare yourself for eternity. Yes, I'm Henry.
Speaker 6 (47:34):
I'm not worried about dying because I know that Jesus
Christ died for me, and the minute I leave this world,
I do believe I will be in the presence of
God by.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
The way, And because of that, I do not believe
in ghosts. All these people talking about there's a ghost
of a there's a ghost of an old lady at
the top of that house over there on the next street.
And now I don't believe there's an old lady ghost
up there, I'm sure. Anyway, back to the voicemail, I
am I'm with you, snake trapper. I am with you.
Speaker 6 (48:08):
Christ died for me, and the minute I leave this world,
I do believe I will be in the presence of God. Yes,
So you know you're kind of like you almost looking
forward to it, you know, not saying I want, I'm
ready right now.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
But you know what I'm saying, I do, I do,
I do.
Speaker 6 (48:30):
There's a lot of evil in this world. There is,
and it's said, but you know, you you if you
don't expose your child to Jesus Christ, uh you are,
there is a big chance they'll get evil.
Speaker 7 (48:45):
In their heart.
Speaker 6 (48:46):
It's just just the way it is over handing them.
Just my thoughts, uh, you know, like I said, I'm
grieving with the family members of the firefighters, you know,
and I and they will peace in this tragedy, free
Jesus Christ. That's just my thought.
Speaker 2 (49:06):
Uncle.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
You have a good day, buddy, youk snack Trevor, thank
you very much for sharing that that kind of a testimony.
Thank you for that, and I'm with you on all
of that. And we're out of time for another edition
of the Uncle Henry Show. I will be back Monday
