Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Uncle Henry Show weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
One of the things I've learned in life is ignorance
is bliss. Not only not only does that go for me,
it goes for everybody. If if you're ignorant of a subject,
it's very blissful.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
We only shared as words of wisdom with this. Ignorance
is bliss, you know. And while that may be true,
that also brings back to my mind many years ago
my dad whipping me and and in between uh lashes,
(00:51):
if if I exclaimed that, oh I don't know something
effected that well I didn't know or I didn't understand
or something on them lines, well he just keep right
on a wailing and say, ignorance is no excuse.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten wnt M. Thank you for listening to the
Uncle Henry Shaw. I appreciate that bear very much. I
love having a job, all the benefits these days. I
enjoy the shelter when it rains in thunders and also
(02:07):
the heating and air conditioning. It's all good, all from
a job. Well, here we are together again, me and
you on the Uncle Henry Show. Another day, another Monday,
trying to figure out what on earth is going on
in the world around us. Whatever it is you want
to bring forward to the show, you can two five
(02:30):
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.
That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com to send me
an old fashioned electronic mail message. Yeah, here we are together.
We're at the beginning of a week. And by the way,
tomorrow tomorrow, if I understand the way calendars work, tomorrow
(02:55):
will be the beginning of a new month. Tomorrow will
be April Fool's Day, the first day of April. This
show will not be playing an April Fool's Day prank
on you. I will not come in here tomorrow but
some wild proclamation or there will be no April Fool's
prankery on the unc Lenary Show. I've always been one
(03:18):
of those people that didn't like April Fool's Day. Now,
I'm sure to you you probably think that makes me
a stick in the mud. Uncle Henry. He's just a
stick in the mud, doesn't want to have fun. He's
an old prude, doesn't like watching all rated movies, doesn't
like April Fool's Day. Well, I just I've never liked it.
I've always felt that it was based on deceit. Yes,
(03:42):
always based on deceit. So there will be no April
Fools pranks or anything like that on the program. So
when you tune in tomorrow and you hear something weird,
which I'm sure you will, just know that it's organically weird. Yeah,
organically weird. It wasn't thrived weirdness. It was organically weird.
(04:03):
Didn't sit around and come up with ideas about some
type of April Fools prank. Now I have. I've been
around some radio April Fools pranks in fact, years ago.
I don't know how old this must have been. Fifteen
years ago. I think Shelby Mitchell of ninety five KSJY
went on the air and explained that she was going
(04:24):
to be leaving for months because she had become a
contestant on Survivor, the TV show Survivor or something. And
the reason I'm bringing that up as an April Fool's
prank is because years past I was at a funeral
for a loved one and people at the funeral were
(04:45):
asking me about Shellby going to Survivor. Years later, I said, no,
she did not go. That was an April Fools prank.
And you know the look on their face when they
found out that they had believed a lie. They had
believed a lie for years and years. So no April
Fool's prankery on the unc Leimer Show tomorrow or today,
or any time that I'm doing a show. Now, let's
(05:13):
see what else what can we get into. There's so
much to get into. We are living in times where
I never know at the beginning of a week where
we're going to end up at the end of the week.
I don't know what political figures could be gone. You
just never know. Some political figures could end up in jail,
others could get released. You just never know in the
weird environment we're in, or what new thing people are
(05:36):
mad about. In fact, over the weekend, things have been
going so fast. Over the weekend, I decided just to relax.
I started looking up old newspapers from one hundred years ago,
just to see what was the news. What was the
news like? Then? You know, I'm going to share some
(05:58):
here with you in a little while because news was
different back then. Hello Color, Hey.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Uncle Henry, Yes sir, you're live on the radio.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
I just wondered, you know, I was me talking about
that April fool? Was there? I remember one time a
hold on the radio station, one of the radio stations.
I don't know if you remember. They they was offering
it was giving away one hundred grand, and then uh,
you know, I had this big competition and then the
(06:29):
person thought they was really getting one hundred grand? Did
it turned out to be a candy bar?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Oh? No? Oh? Was that local?
Speaker 6 (06:37):
I don't remember where it was, but all I do
remember is the person was really really mad.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Well, yeah, I would be yeah, that would be a
horrible an April fools. No, I don't know if that
were If that were local, the radio people here would
be will head talk about it for years because it's
that is a horrible I see it's based on a seat.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
But it was a radio station. I remember because that
guy was really vaculate. Did it get his one hundred grand?
And I handed them a candy bar?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh? That is so terrible. That is terrible.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
That's all I had to say. I just I just
can't mind. When I was thinking when you're thinking about
some of these pranks of so many radio stations or
whatever put on. But that was one that I had
heard of.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
All right, well, sir, thank you for sharing your memories
with me.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
All right, yeah, great day you too.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Thank you very much for your phone call. Now speaking,
I mentioned before the man called in with that terrible story,
I mentioned that I was looking at news from one
hundred years ago. Uh. This story is dateline Chicago. This
was printed in the Montgomery Advertiser one hundred years ago
in nineteen twenty five. The headline on the story is
(07:48):
Liquor Squad. Liquor squad rescues woman quarry in raid. So
it was a liquor squad. This sounds like a name
of a TV show, doesn't it. The liquor squad. Now,
these were people trying to catch I guess moonshiners or something.
(08:09):
And Prohibition. The story reads a municipal Prohibition squad brought
a raid to a successful fruition tonight by rescuing one
of their quarry from the Chicago River. Missus Kate Nickel
attending a twenty gallon still over a small oil stove
(08:29):
aboard a house boat. The weeping waters docked at the
foot of Wolf sunthin Street attempted to defeat Justice by
kicking the equipment overboard, and she plunged headlong into the
murky waters. Patrolman Lelly snatched victory from defeat by diving
in first for missus Nickel and then for the still. Besides,
(08:53):
the rescued three men, three kegs of beir and four
gallons of weeping water whiskey were removed to the Shakespeare
Avenue station the liquor Squad. Uncle Henry Show News Radio
(09:21):
seven to ten WNTIM It is five twenty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes from Fox ten and from
Fox Radio National News telephone number if you'd like to
call the show two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three. That's two five to one four
seven nine two seven two three, Hello.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Caller, goody mean Uncle Henry, Bert, Hey, Burt, how you
been doing great? Doing great? Good Uncle Henry. I saw
this story on Facebook recently, and I've just got to
share it with your listeners.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
All right, do it?
Speaker 7 (09:59):
This story already kind of encapsulates in a nutshell. What's
wrong with this country?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Back in the seventies, I answered phones one year for
the Jerry Lewis Muscular District Telethon, and people have spent
fifty years sending money to the Muscular District Association trying
to find the cure. Yes, well, there's a group called
Wallacks Warriors WA l l a h S. Wallacks Warriors
(10:28):
Critical heelpnews dot com. These are doctors that are thinking
outside the box to find cures that people can't make
a whole lot of money off of. Yeah, and they
discovered that muscular dystrophe is a deficiency in selenium, an
essential trace mineral, and people who are gluten intolerant can't
(10:49):
absorb selenium from their food, so it has to be injected.
And once people were injected with selenium, the muscular distrophe
went away. Wow, they went in the last years of
his life, they went to Jerry Lewis with this news
and he was just overjoyed. This is something that they
had spent fifty years trying to find a cure for
(11:10):
and here's the cure. But the problem is you can't
get a patent on selenium and get rich off of it.
So he went to the Muscular Dystrophy Association with the
news and they fired him and shut down his telethon.
He was taking away their cash cow.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So that's why Jerry Lewis stopped doing his telephone.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
That's why he stopped doing it because he discovered the cure,
but the cure was not profitable.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Wow, I have never heard this story before.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
You probably won't from many places because the story pinpoints
the problem is that if it's not profitable, a cure
is not allowed, and that applies not just to muscular dystrophe,
but a whole lot of diseases.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, Bert, in a.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Nutshell, is what's wrong with healthcare in this country?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Well you I'm going to be looking into that. But yes,
there's there's a lot of wondering about just just the
health candidst Tory right now, a lot of us are
wondering about it because you know, as one doctor told
me last year, A doctor told me, he says, uncle, Henry,
(12:24):
I hope you realize I get paid just the same
whether I do a good job or a bad job.
I thought, okay, well, thank you doctor for telling me that.
I filed that away just to remember when I go
to the doctor.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
A call.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Thank you, Bert for giving me something new to look
up online. I'll ask artificial intelligence to tell me all
about the Selenium two five one four seven nine two
three the telephone number modern medicine. Let's see. I saw
an interview with a doctor over the weeekend that made
the claim that a lot of what bothers us if
(13:05):
we just got adequate sleep and sunlight and quit eating
processed food, that would take care of most of it. Now,
that probably oversimplifies things, but could it be that simple?
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Hello Color, Hey, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
Hi, This Sabrina Mass.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Sabrina Mask. What is going on with you? Sabrina Mass?
Speaker 9 (13:29):
Oh? Nothing, I've just been relaxing these last few weeks.
You know, I thought I need a little break, you know,
from politics and this and that. But you know, Uncle Henry,
I will say this, you know, I'm kind of I'm
happy to say that in the marriage, you know, Race,
I'm happy to say that, everybody's been real peaceful and
(13:49):
you know, respectful to each other and moving forward. And
I feel like the city needed that refreshing part of
that because people can choose who they like and who
they want, you know, because this is America, this is
you know, I mean democracy. But I'm happy to say that,
you know, all candidates does far, because you know, I'm
(14:10):
a Facebook lurcher and a lurker, and I watch people
and look at blogs and this and that and yours
as well. But I'm happy to say this thus far,
all the candidates have you know, had a couple of debates,
and they're being cordial to each other and the base
of people that our voters and mobile are being very
(14:31):
cordial and communicating, of course who they like and don't like,
but in a in a classy type of a way.
So I like that.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
I really like that.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Now, Sabrina, should we start wagering on when this is
gonna end? Should we wager on when it's gonna get money?
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Well? Well, now, ceonca Henry, how you did that? So
this is what I I believe around July, I would say,
at the mid mid May and July, I think that's
when it will really start. Uh. I think that that's
(15:15):
when the fireworks will will begin. But I can make
you a prediction.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Okay, if you do that please. I like predictions.
Speaker 9 (15:24):
Yeah, I'm not saying that I'm you know, I'm not God,
of course, I'm just Sabrina. I believe that the race,
when it's all bit and done, I believe the runoffs.
You ready for the drum.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Roll, Yes, here we go.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
I believe it will be between former Chief part Prime
and Spiro Charry Goddis.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Now, I'm real curious as to why do you think
because Connie Hudson, I don't know that she's ever lost
an election yet.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
No, she hasn't never lost an election. But that's but
she's she's a she's a county. She's a county. She's
been a representative on the county committee. You know, this
is city. We're talking about Media Mobile.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It'll be a different different voters are going to be
involved in this.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
Yes, there you go. I can hear her. You're smart.
Different voters with more invested invested into the city. Now,
don't get me wrong, I have great respect for Missus.
County has a great, great respect. She's a very nice lady,
very cordial, very classy, very smart. However, this is the
city of Mobile, the city the city of Mobile. Citizens
(16:37):
are going to look at the background of the city
and what what have you done for the city, What
have you contributed to the city. Not saying this take
away from anything she's done for the county, because she's
represented the county. Very well, I will say that, but
I just just me keeping up with everything that's going on.
It seems like Cherriot Goddess based that they're ramped up
(17:01):
and excited, and it seems like cheap our price based equally,
we're ramped up and excited as well. It seems like
that's where their excitement and the back and forth conversations
seem like that's where they keep narrowing down to. As
far as you know, Facebook, social media, Fox New, NBC fifteen,
(17:25):
maybe even your podcast, okay, or your iHeart. I just
feel like that I can kind of predict that because
I watch how people communicate and how things move in
the city, and so I believe it would be Terror Goddess,
and I do think it would be close.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Wow, Okay, I hate it would be close.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
I don't think. I don't think anybody's going to win
by a landslide.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I don't care that hate Shabrina. I've got to go
into the break here. But thank you for making your prediction.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
Thank you for calling, Yes sir, Thank you hearing Hello
to everyone. Yes Sir.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Called Henry's show, News Radio seven ten WNTM. It is
five thirty five telephone number to reach The Unk Henry
Show two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
That's two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
You can also hear me every weekday Monday through Friday
(18:32):
on ninety five KSJ playing Today's Hottest Country between ten
and two weekdays. And this week we've got a couple
of chances for you to win a trip to Austin,
Texas to go to the iHeart Country Festival. For details,
listening to ninety five KSJ, or go to ninety five
(18:54):
KSJ dot com. Hell, let me go to the phones event.
Somebody waiting here?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Hello, Color, Hello Color, Hello Henry, Yes, sir, blind dog Mike, Yes, sir,
you are live on the radio.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
The previous caller before the break come about talking about
what was it slinity or something, selenium selenium. Yes, yeah,
he was probably right on target on that because you know,
in this last pandemic that we had during COVID, the
whole medical industry poo pood h, CQ, hydroxy coloquine and
(19:35):
ivermectin as being quackery. And the reason that they did,
I found out later on, was because if any drug
that was already on the market and had already been
approved was useful to mitigate symptoms for a particular disease
or pandemic as they call it, then the emergency use
(19:56):
authorization would not be valid. So they had to pooh pooh,
you know, HCQ and ivermectin in order to retain the
emergency use authorization. And you know, the AMA said that
nobody could. American Medical Association said that nobody could prescribe
(20:20):
HCQ for that, and then six months later they very
quietly reverse their decision. So it's going to take it's
going to take beyond my lifetime for a lot of
at least seventy five percent of the doctors in the
pharmaceutical industry to regain my trust because of that.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Oh, I'm with you on this. This has opened a
lot of people's eyes to the reality of medicine and
how a lot of us have to well have to
be our own doctors.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
Well, you have to do some research. And my luckily,
my wife is very good and research on things like that.
And so we if I'm prescribed something or by my
doctor and look at it and go, no, I don't
want to do that. And I tell a doctor and
I said, no, I don't want to do that, and
most doctors say, fine, if you don't want to do that,
we'll do something else, and they're good with that. The
(21:17):
ones that argue with me are the ones that don't
get anywhere. So just the way it is. But you
know what, what I hate for anybody to go to,
you know, be confined to hell. But there's a special
place in hell for people who prescribe something or go
for something just because it makes money rather than help people.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I'm in complete agreement with you. I think most people
generally would agree with that as well. And it's been
amazing to watch because I know you remember, like I do,
way before we had Obamacare Affordable Care Act, people were
complaining about health insurance and the medical industry back then.
And even though you've got people in both political parties
(22:01):
that feel like things need to change, we are still
where we are trying to figure out how to make
medicine work in this country.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Well, you know the Affordable Care Act, Yes, I mean
I know they were supposedly trying to trying to make
it better, but you know, even the guy who designed
it said it was going to cost more, but they,
you know, they didn't want to talk about that. But
my my really good blue Cross Blue Shield helped savings
(22:33):
account insurance went from two hundred and fifty nine dollars
a month to eight hundred and fifty Okay, wow, yeah,
and that's super self employed. And that's that's real world figures.
That's yeah, I'm not making that stuff up. I'm not
saying Billy Joe said this, and and you know this
(22:53):
is real world figures. So I had to deal with that,
and you know, there we are. So I just urge
people to, you know, background check things. You look at
something like hydroxy coloquin which has been on the market
for like sixty years, and ivermactin, which has been on
the market for a long, long long time. You know,
(23:17):
just understand that these things are probably some of the
safest drugs out there. And I'm not saying I'm against
pharmaceuticals at all. There's plenty of pharmaceuticals out there that
do really well and have been on the market for
a long time, and they have a lot of beneficial uses.
But boy, when you try to start to try to
(23:37):
restrict a particular chemical of pharmaceuticals strictly because it doesn't
make enough money, I'm sorry. That's that's the epitome of
evil to.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Me, it really is, it really is. I'm with you
on all that day.
Speaker 10 (23:52):
One way or the other because I appreciate your show.
You allow people to call in and talk about things,
and you do get some different interesting information off your show.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, blind that's a great way of putting it. Blind
Dog Mike, thank you, Just serve Bye bye, there he goes,
Blind Dog Mike. Yes. And and as you've noticed, I
think I mentioned this last week. I don't get paid
by the word. So sometimes when somebody can call in
they've got a good story ready to go, it gives
(24:22):
me an opportunity to let them talk on the radio
while I'm looking at my grocery list trying to figure
out I need to do laundry tonight. There's a lot
of multitasking that can go on during the program.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
Hello caller, Hey over Henry, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Snake Trapper? How was your birthday? Snake Trapper celebrated his
birthday Friday. How was the birthday?
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Uncle, Henry? I had a birthday party that I will
never forget. The wife posted a video of me with
my little sparklers inside Aszteca, and she said it reminded
her of a six year old, the way I was
dancing and kind of hitting the table before they put
the sparklers in my hand. And I watched it, and
(25:04):
I do believe I was probably active like a six
year old at that time.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Over, well, that's a blessing when when you're at your
stage of life to be able to feel that kind
of joy.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
Oh, it's one I'll never forget, Uncle Henry. But ma'am,
what I called to tell you about. I got you
a snake report, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Here we go, snake report.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Yes, there, you know I told you. Friday morning, my
buddy turkey hunting came across the copperhead and he wind
up killing it right well, well late that evening, Uncle Henry,
he almost stepped on one and it bit him on
his boot. Had it not been for his leather boot,
he would have been in some deep trouble. Now, the
cotton mouths thins are probably one that size, probably around
(25:49):
half an inch, and did not penetrate his boot. And
also another turkey hunter came across copperhead, so it seems
like the copperheads are plentiful this year. Now, his brother
came across a timber rattler, which is what they call
the cane break. You know, it has actually two different names.
So the snakes are out in Fulham, Henry. And this
(26:11):
evening when I got home, I scoured the lake trying
to see what I could see. You know, look, hoping
I can finally fought maccason Zilla, but I didn't see
much activity there. But yeah, for those folks that are
wandering around in the woods during little turkey hunting, the snakes.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Are out all right now, real quick, you I was
on Facebook earlier today and I saw that you posted
a video. Did you post a video of a possum
eating a snake?
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Yes, sir, I sure did. Matter of fact, that snake
bit that possum. But the possums are immune to uh
to snake venom. It'll make them a little dizzy and wildly,
but it doesn't harm with at all, and they will
eat They will eat the snake if the snake bites them. Wow, okay,
that's another good reason to save the possum. Uncle Henry.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
All right, and you the listener, if you go to
Snake Trapper's Facebook page, don't look at that video if
you're getting ready to eat it is it is not
necessarily a pleasant video to see the possum eating the snake.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
If you'll notice, right when that video first come on,
that snake hit that possum right in the side. It
was a little snake.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, I saw that awesome.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Right in the side. And though possum probably would not
have eaten the snake, they like eating dead rotten stuff.
But since the snake bit him, he decided to take
him out.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Avengeful possum.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Just there.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
You have a good day, my buddy.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Thank you you too, Snake trapper, thank you very much
for your phone call, and happy birthday again to you.
Back with more. There's more to get to as the
Young Glenvery Show continues here on news Radio seventy ten.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Trap.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I'm called Henry Shaw News Radio seven to ten WNTM.
It is five point fifty news headlines coming up in
ten minutes. We had some callers. Let me go to
a voicemail message. This was found in this morning about
(28:28):
something that happened over the weekend.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
Did a destinute Not for Henry. This is Nelson better
known as Marion on the spreen. But what for Henry.
My faith in mankind kind of dropped a notch over
the weekend. And uh, the reason I say that is
because we went to Louisiana to watch the kids play ball.
(28:51):
And you know, how should I put this. I'm not
singling out Louisiana by any means or the people in Louisiana,
because I've kind of experienced it where it must be
really difficult for some people to tell other people good morning,
how are you doing. I hope you have a great day.
(29:13):
I'm just I'm just just an estimate. But we got
to the ball park about eight thirty. There was maybe
me and twenty other people on the sidewalk going in
the opposite direction, Uncle Henry. I would swear before Congress
that not one of those people looked up to bring
(29:35):
theirselves to say good morning, how you doing. I guess
they were all just already having a bad day. So
my question is is man kind getting less and less
sociable or am I just missing something? Well, Uncle Henry,
(29:56):
have a good day, and all your listeners with who
I doubt would ignore someone else on the sidewall who
I'm sure the upper hendor listeners would tell everyone good
morning that they possibly could. Oh, anyway, that's my two
cents today. I'm Henry, everybody have a goodness.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Thank you and thank you and you take it easy. Nelson,
thank you for telling me about your experiences in Louisiana.
Now are people less social now? A couple of things
to say about that. First, you can look back through
history and see that people have been mean to each
other for quite a while. People have the capacity, let
(30:40):
me put it in a different way, people have the
capacity to be really mean to each other or be
really nice, and we've seen examples from all of recorded history.
But nowadays in this country, maybe people are less social
because if you're in a situation where there's a bunch
of strangers you don't know. You see all of the
stuff going on in the streets of this world where
(31:03):
if you drive the wrong car, somebody might try to
run you off the road because they don't like the
company that made the car. That kind of that kind
of stuff going on. So maybe, and after the pandemic
where people were encouraged to not be around each other,
so maybe people are a little less social than they
were before COVID and all this horrible politics. But I
(31:27):
don't know, because, as I said, all throughout human history,
people have had the capacity to be really mean or
to be really nice, and you can see a wide
range of behaviors. But Nelson, I'm sorry. You're right. If
I saw you on the sidewalk, I would definitely give
you a good morning Hello color LD the mad trucker.
Speaker 11 (31:49):
Hey, did you said people found that possibly a snake revolting?
Speaker 1 (31:54):

it LD my mother. First of all, my mother has
never been a cheese whiz person and she would never
overeat on that or anything else. She's normal sized. You know,

(32:44):
They're gonna meet each other. It's gonna happen. It's gonna
have to happen. So this and he needs to face
her because she's aware of some of this, because every
now and again she she's aware of her surroundings. On

her height and age and activity level. Based on all
the different insurance industry actuaries, she is she's of normal weight.
I've had numerous witnesses attest to this. Bradley Burne, John McNeil,
many other reputable, reputable people in the community have testified
(33:29):
on this show that she's of normal size. This is
I'm gonna have to have to It's gonna have to happen.

was unpleasant, listener, but we've got more to come. We'll
we'll cleanse your palette with some news coming up from
(33:49):
Fox News and then back with more Uncle Henry's Show.
If you'd like to leave a message, you can 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 and the listeners
(34:09):
of the show back after the news break with more.
(34:36):
It says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seven ten WNT, thank you so much for listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. Now in this half hour of show,
gonna get to some news items and perhaps a voicemail.
I've still got a bunch of voicemail stacked up. Voicemail
number two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six.
(34:58):
That's two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six.
Before I get to any voicemail, if I do a
couple of news items I wanted to get to see.
The first one to hear is from Fox ten. This
is old news to you maybe, but new news to me,
and that is that there was a bunch of people
(35:20):
got together Sunday night or Sunday evening at a mobile
church to talk about Big Creek Lake. I know you've
heard about how the malls, the waterboard people have said
that people can no longer use Big Creek Lake the
way they have since people have been around Big Creek Lake,
(35:41):
they've said it's just too much. Now, this is the
water supply for Mobile and you get all these people
out there frolicking. I don't know if it's actual frolicking
in the water. Who knows what it is people are
doing in the water that they don't want people doing
in the water. Anyway. People are upset because from the
(36:04):
beginning of time up until now, people have been able
to use Big Creek Lake and frolic in it if
they wanted a frolic, and now they can't. Here is
the story from Fox ten. I think we'll hear Aeriel
Mattori introduced this, or she may do the whole story here,
But this has to do with people wanting to use
(36:25):
Big Creek Lake the way they always have.
Speaker 12 (36:28):
Yeah, new tonight, people in Mobile County continue to speak
out in opposition of the recent closure of Big Creek Lake.
This moth closed the lake permanently to all recreational boating
and fishing. Well tonight, a plan was put in place
to head to Montgomery this week in support of a
new bill to reopen the lake.
Speaker 13 (36:48):
They're breaking the laws. They're breaking the law of the
land and the water. They're breaking water laws and thought
nobody would call them down on it than we did.
Speaker 12 (36:57):
Frustration and anger continue to come out after recent changes
surrounding Big Creek Lake.
Speaker 14 (37:02):
Anybody can fish out there.
Speaker 12 (37:06):
This month, Mobile Area Water and Sewer announced the lake
is permanently closed to all recreational boating and fishing. But
tonight's rain didn't stop a crowd from packing out this
Westmobile church to find a way to fight back.
Speaker 13 (37:20):
I knew that I had to stop that, no matter
how big the monster is.
Speaker 12 (37:24):
Matthew Fraser created the Facebook group take Back Big Creek
Lake from Mars. The purpose of tonight's meeting was to
put a plan in play, as the group plans to
head to the state capitol this week in support of
House Bill four seventy three. Under the new bill, introduced
by Representative Shane Stringer, it would ensure water boards and
sewer commissions cannot restrict public recreation on water bodies they
(37:48):
own or control.
Speaker 15 (37:49):
The malls can prohibit people from coming on their lands,
but they cannot prohibit people from being inside the lake.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
And on the border.
Speaker 15 (37:57):
Commissioner Chris Blankenshall put out an opinion saying that the
lake is a navigal waterway.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
That I'm sorry to pause the story there as you,
I'm sure you were concentrating acutely the way that I
was concentrating acutely on the words being spoken to us
in the story. Now you just heard Shane Stringer say
that a commissioner had determined something. He's talking about Chris Blankenship,
(38:26):
a commissioner where the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources,
referencing the closing of Big Creek Lake. So that's the
commissioner he's talking about, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
Speaker 15 (38:43):
Or from being inside the lake and on the border.
Commissioner Chris Blankenship put out an opinion saying that the
lake is a navigal waterway that should be open to
the public.
Speaker 12 (38:52):
Fraser Phil's this is about control, and they won't stand
for it.
Speaker 13 (38:56):
The city is doing all they can to imminent domain
and take land and stuff behind people's back that we
don't like. Now I have to look in my kid's
face and tell him that we can't go there. Anymore.
I'm not gonna it's not going to be that way.
Speaker 12 (39:13):
Now. This Wednesday is when the public hearing will take
place in Montgomery. Representative Stringer says a vote has anticipated
that will either pass or block the bill.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Okay, all I can All I can tell you is
I remember living out there back in the seventies. Yes,
the ancient times of the nineteen seventies. I lived out there,
And I remember I've told you this before that after
Frederick Hid, we couldn't uh. Of course, we had no
(39:47):
electricity for over two weeks living out there after Hurricane
Frederick Hid, no electricity to run the pump with our
well water. So a lot of people just went in bathed.
And I apologize for bringing up human bathing because you
might be heading home to eat, or you might be
(40:07):
eating right now. But yes, we bathed in Big Creek
Lake after Hurricane Frederick. Now, maybe is this why they're
closing the lake after all these years, is to stop
human beings from bathing in the lake. I don't know,
it'll be it'll be something to see. I have no
(40:27):
idea how this is going to turn out. I don't
know what the dangers are of allowing the public to fish.
I don't know if they're worried about the drinking water
being contaminated by whatever it is people are doing on
the lake. But I have no idea how this is
going to turn out. I hope that people are allowed
to use the lake for recreation as long, of course,
(40:50):
as long as it doesn't poison the water. Now, us
bathing in it didn't poison the water, and we used soap,
so I don't know what else. What can we get
to real quick before we go into our first break?
I have another news item for you. This is from
WBrC in Birmingham about pollen. We all see the pollen
(41:13):
that collects on our cars this time of year, our
cars and trucks. WBrC says it's more than just a nuisance.
Speaker 16 (41:21):
Fortunately, the wet weather will wash some of that pesky
pollen away that we are all dealing with, but it
will not last forever. Your reporter Braddy Talbert on your
side tonight with why you shouldn't be careful about letting
all that pollen just sit on your car breeding.
Speaker 17 (41:34):
Yeah, the experts tell me that yellow powdery substance we
all hate is more than just a nuisance. It can
cause actual problems with how your car looks and functions.
Pollen is an abrasive substance that means. Triple A says
it can scratch your paint under the right conditions, decreasing
the value of your car. Experts also say pollen can
get into your air filter, clog it up, and affect
(41:55):
the performance.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
So could I have follow an insurance claim for excessive pollen? Serious?
Can I follow an insurance claim for excessive pollen.
Speaker 17 (42:04):
Performance of your car's engine? Clay Ingram with triple A
Alabama recommends paying close attention to how much pollen and
dirt is on your car. You need to wash it,
but you don't want to overdo that, all.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Right, You need to pay close attention to the pollen
and dirt on your car, but don't overwash it.
Speaker 14 (42:27):
What do we don't want to overdo that this time
of year. You can wash it one day and it'll
be covered again the next day. So you don't want
to run it through a car wash every single day
because the car washes can, over a period of time,
be somewhat bad for your paint as well, So you want.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
To be smart about it.
Speaker 14 (42:46):
You know, every few days, once a week maybe something
like that, to be sure that you're keeping your your
paint as free from dirt and debris and pollen as possible.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
How did we ever survive as a species without experts?
Experts to tell us to wash our car but just
not too much. All right, back with voicemail after the break.

voice smail from l D about sixty seven year old Chris.
Speaker 11 (45:56):
Hey, I'm Ald.
Speaker 18 (45:59):
You know when I think about Chris from Lotsley, I
was starting to think about you know, he is retired now, yes,
and if you heard him, does he cut the grass?
Does he does he volunteer anywhere around Lotsley to make
Lotslely a better place? You know I volunteer. I volunteer
(46:20):
to several things.
Speaker 11 (46:22):
Yes, well, I have a full time job.
Speaker 18 (46:25):
I'm sure that when I retire I'll pick up two
or three more volunteer things.
Speaker 6 (46:30):
To do on my community.
Speaker 18 (46:33):
But it looks like to me with Chris, after he retired,
he just sat on a porch and just doing a
slow melt.
Speaker 7 (46:40):
You know, I don't know I a.
Speaker 18 (46:43):
Would say one thing about Chris f LOTSI. He went
from filling prophylactic machines to filling his gut and nothing more.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
In retirement right now, LD. Look, I don't know the
full story, but I believe sixty seven year old Chris.
I think he had to retire due to some type
of a an ailment. But I don't want to look,
that's none of my none of my business. I don't
know that. I'm I don't know that I should even
talk about what's going on in a listener's life. But
(47:14):
I think, uh, I don't know that he wanted to retirement.
I think he had to with a physical issue. But uh,
he's I'll tell you one thing he does. He's got
a daughter, a young daughter still, I guess in middle
school or elementary school or something that is a job.
That's a job too, in addition to whatever else he
(47:36):
might be up to. So we do not know, but
I'm sure he is up to something. Two five one
two one six, nineteen seventy six The number to leave
a message for The Unculinary Show. Two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. Let's see if I have
time for another message before we're out of time for
this edition of the un Clanary Show.
Speaker 19 (48:00):
Tell Henry Cliff, I see a lot of people calling
about losing their jobs. The irs the people you hate
anyway and enjoy read you hate anyway. But they're losing
their jobs. I think this is a good time for
(48:21):
those people. Like they told all those people on the
pipeline that were losing their job with their families to
find them a job working in green energy. How about
that for being something funny. You have a blood dem.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Day, Cliff, Thank you very much for your phone call. Yes,
there were I do remember when people were told that
they should learn the code. I do remember that. I
think that was was that from from Jim Sanki when
she was the press spokesperson for Biden when the pipeline
people were laid off and they were told to learn
to code or something like that. Well, there may be, hey,
(49:07):
there may be jobs for people working for the irs
and stuff like that, if they want to help with
home construction roofers. There are some people that are deporting
themselves and that may open up jobs for other people
in the country. We'll just have to I guess we
all have to wait and see how it all turns out.
