Speaker 6 (01:29):
That's my wonder fault, It says the Uncle Henry Show

(01:58):
here on news radio show Up and ten WNTM. And
I appreciate very much you listening to the Uncle Henry Show.
Here we are together again on the Unkleanary Show, you
and me trying to figure out what is going on
in the world around us. If you would like to
call the show telephone number two five one four seven

(02:22):
nine two seven two three. That's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three email address Uncle Henry
iHeartMedia dot com. You can call in about whatever it
is you want to call in about, as long as
it's not filthy or nasty. Try to keep it to
even cleaner than broadcast television standards. And my goodness, there's

(02:49):
so many things we could get into, so many things
to get into on the Uncleanary Show. One thing I
wanted to bring up at the beginning of the program
is uh is Maha America healthy again? There was a
press conference hell today, I believe in West Virginia the
Governor of West Virginia announcing some changes in his state. Now,

(03:10):
the Governor of West Virginia, by the way overweight to
overbeas in his size. And RFK Jr. Was in West
Virginia today with the Governor of West Virginia to make
some announcements about what they're going to try to do
in West Virginia. That could happen in a lot of
states depending on the leadership in the states. The New

(03:34):
York Post is already claiming that RFK Junior has fat
shamed the governor of West Virginia. But don't be fooled
by that. Watch the entire press conference. It wasn't real long.
It's very interesting. I'm going to share a little bit
of it with you here if you stick with me.

(03:54):
The governor of West I'm not going to share that part.
The governor of West Virginia seems delighted that RFK Junior
fact shamed him. RFK Jr. Said that when he met
the governor of West Virginia, he said, you look like
you ate the governor of West Virginia. But the governor
asked RFK for help, and so RFK is putting the

(04:17):
governor of that state on the carnivore died and he
wants to have monthly way ends with the governor. So
the governor himself is going to try to get healthy
like his state. But the gist of the press conference
was that the governor there in that state, he announced
that the schools they're not going to have dies in
the food. He didn't want dies or these harmful chemicals,

(04:39):
allegedly harmful chemicals in the foods that kids eat in schools.
And he also talked about changing the SNAP program. This
has been brought up on the show before, but this
has to do with what people getting food assistance from
the federal government what they can and cannot buy for themselves.

(05:02):
I'll let you hear what the governor of West Virginia
had to say. Governor, his name is Morrissey. Here is
the obese and I apologize for referring to him in
that form, but he talked about it himself. He and
RFK have decided that he needs to lose some weight.
So here is the overbeast governor of West Virginia, Governor Morrissey,

(05:23):
talking about what he wants to do with food stamps
in his state.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
We need to change the stop system so that West
Virginias are incentivized to make healthy choices.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
He before he gets to the I'm sorry, I already
interrupted him. He mentioned the latest stants were. He announced
that West Virginia had pulled the head of Mississippi to
be the fattest state or the sickest state. It was
a bad, bad stance for West Virginia.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
But choosing fresh produce, lean meats, and now natural foods
over a lot of the ultra process crap that barely
qualifies as food. Right, So, beginning today, we're asking for
up to realign SNAP so that good food choices are
easier to make. If taxpayers are paying for it. Let's

(06:19):
make sure it fuls fuel's health, not disease.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
No one in the audience there on food stamps. Probably
that's why they're applauding.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
But and I'm being serious about this, This is not
about judging someone's grocery card. It really isn't. I don't
want to do that. I don't think anyone here does.

Speaker 6 (06:44):
However, I do have callers that want to judge what's
in somebody's grocery card.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
But it is about asking a fair question. Is the
SNAP program doing what it was supposed to do? You
see SNAP stands for so Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. That
end is for nutrition. It's not for nonsense. If the

(07:11):
law says the program is meant to help people get
a more nutritious diet, then that should be the standard.
Why should hard earn federal and state tax dours be
allowed to ignore nutrition. Taxpayer dollars should be targeted toward

(07:33):
nutritious foods. That is why today I'm also intending to
request a SNAP waiver from the federal government to no
longer have taxpayer subsidized soda as an entitlement under SNAP.

Speaker 6 (07:55):
All right, there it goes going after the sugar ray
soda drink in that state, So they're asking for a
waiver to control that in West Virginia. Now I am
the reaction to this. What is the reaction going to be?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Like?

Speaker 6 (08:11):
What do you think is going to happen around the
country if this, if this moves to other states? What
do you think is going to happen? Are people going
to be going out of their minds angry? Angry? I've
already seen some people online claiming that this is punishing,
this is punishing the people that are in poverty, that
this is fact shaming the people in poverty. How dare we?

(08:37):
How dare we tell someone how they can use your
money to feed themselves? I wonder, I wonder if they
should have waited until after the midterms for this. Backw
with Moore, I have a little bit more on this
as the Uncle Henry Show continues Uncle Henry's Show, News

(09:14):
Radio seven ten WNTM. It's five twenty news headlines coming

people living people call the show two five one four

Speaker 6 (10:08):
Happy birthday, Snake Trapper. And you're celebrating tonight with Mexican food.

Speaker 7 (10:13):
Oh yes, sir. I asked the wife what was on

family are gonna take me to ask Teca and they're
gonna put the sparklers in my hand and same, happy
birthday too. And she told me she was gonna get
me all Margarita up on Grahnner and then she said
I had to come home with snuggle with her uncle Heney.
So I got a bit right now.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
We don't we do not need to hear those kind
of personal details. I don't care that it's twenty twenty
five and there's all kind of R rated stuff on TV.
We don't need to hear about that.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
Oh it's definitely not all rated.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
Let's just let's not talk about that part. But she
is taking She's taking you to a Mexican place. I'm
gonna liquor you up. Is that right?

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (10:56):
Yes, sir, over him And we've been on a diet
for the last three months, and we on my birthday
we would both come off of it and celebrate it
with some Mexicans. So, man, I'm excited and looking forward
to it. And I want to thank everybody out there
for all the warm birthday wishes, Uncle Henry. The support
has been just overwhelming, and like said, man, I'm just

(11:19):
really appreciative of all my friends out there, and man,
they just made my day.

Speaker 6 (11:24):
Hey, this is kind of a just sir, I've got questions.
Come on, all right, conversation here. So you just said
that you were on a diet for three months, breaking
it on your birthday. Now we're on. I started the
show with the topic of MAHA Make America Healthy Again
with an overbeast governor in West Virginia going on a
carnivore diet with RFK Jr. How have you What kind

(11:48):
of diet did you and your wife go on?

Speaker 7 (11:51):
Oh, Henry, we've been on one where we've been trying
to consume about twelve to fifteen hundred calories, no more
than that in a day, pretty much what we wanted,
but we just had to watch our calorie count. And
over here, I'm not really good with diets. I mean,
I know I've been blowing it a few times, but
I've been been doing my best.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
And I have actually lost a little bit of weight.

Speaker 7 (12:13):
But uh, we're gonna get back on the old snide once.
Uh once once, you know my birthday's over.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
Now, have you been eating things like snake and other
woodland creatures?

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (12:26):
Hen, I have not been eating a lot of salads.
Wife makes some of the finest salads in the world. Uh,
Now I want I do my buddy, the one I
told you that blows up the beaver dams at his
hunting camp.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yes, he left.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
He left out this morning to go turkey hunting. He
actually played hookies for work today the turkey right and
killed him a turkey right off the bat this morning.
And also come across a copperhead that he sent me
pictures of that uh he shot. He's one of these
types that that uh fully believes that snakes should not
be on the face of this earth, and he was

(13:00):
I'm totally against people, you know, harming him, but uh man,
he he kills everyone he'll come in contact withal Now.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
Wait, now again, I've got questions. So he knows, he
knows that you advocate for the snakes, just like the
beaver lady advocates for beavers. And he still sent you
a picture of a snake he shot, even though he
knows you don't want it shot.

Speaker 7 (13:22):
Uh, yes, sir, it's a pretty good sized copperhead. And
all he did is send me a picture, said that
one didn't make it. And he also heard a rattlesnake
in a pile of brush that he kind of stayed.
He is totally terrified of snakes, and up there where
he's at, he's almost actually heard hisself one time because
he almost stepped on one, and he said he jumped

(13:44):
up so high he'd like to broke his foot.

Speaker 8 (13:46):
You know.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
He limped around for about probably a week and a
half from uh, just trying to get away from it
once he spotted it. But he really hates him. He
thinks that they need to be eradicated off the face
of the earth.

Speaker 6 (13:57):
All right, Well, you know it's it says a lot
of about you that you can be friends with people
that have different beliefs.

Speaker 7 (14:05):
Yes, 're my only thing with him, Uncle Henry, is
the first thing I told him when he shot that
tuberty it sent the picture Dad, you know, I told
him that's a good enough size to eat one. And
I told him I'd have really appreciated if he would
skin it out and just put it on ice, and
when he got back to mobile, I would actually go
pick it up. But man, I know he ain't gonna
go there. I said, he's killed a timber rattler already.

(14:28):
That would have been been a fine one.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Dat.

Speaker 7 (14:30):
So I guess I'm gonna have to give me some
hunting license and just go up there and sit with
my right uncle Henry. If I'm gonna get me once
from them, I guess so, I guess.

Speaker 6 (14:38):
So all right, well, snake Trepper, I'm glad you checked
in on your birthday. I hope you have a very
pleasant rest of your birthday.

Speaker 7 (14:45):
Yes, sir, Uncle Henry, and thank you very much, buddy,
You're very welcome.

Speaker 6 (14:48):
There he goes the older and possibly wiser snake Trapper,
And isn't it isn't it fascinating? How he can be
friends with somebody that's very ti snake and you've all
and you if you've been listening for a while, you know,
just snake trappers, just all wrapped up in snakes. Two
five one four seven nine two seven two three. The

(15:09):
telephone number that's two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three. Now, in the last segment of
the show, I shared with you this press conference. Uh
in West Virginia, they've asked for a waiver from the
federal government so they can control the SNAP program, and
they're going to try to make it so you cannot
use SNAP in that state to buy sugary soda. Now,

(15:34):
some taxpayers like the idea. They like the premise that
if we're going to give people food when they need help,
that we shouldn't give them food that's really bad for them.
Other people are other people get angry at the idea
that you would affect their choices when they are on
the SNAP program. Now I got I got a voicemail

(15:56):
on this topic. I think this came in today.

Speaker 8 (16:01):
Hey, I'm Glenry held listening the TikTok, which I shouldn't do.
But there are a lot of EBT users and welfare
queens that are all upset because we want to take
their drinks away from them, We want to take their high.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
Calorie foods away from them.

Speaker 8 (16:21):
We want them healthy. If you're gonna eat for free,
you're gonna eat healthy. That is the right thing to do.
It's only because we're concerned about your.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
Health, that's all.

Speaker 8 (16:31):
You don't deserve quinkies, you don't deserve sugar smacks, you
don't deserve Captain Crunch. If you're on EBT an old boy,
they are mad as wet hornets or shall I say leeches,
the leeches the blood is drying up, and the leeches
are mad and they're actually thinking that their host is

(16:56):
going to run out of blood and they're gonna actually
have to do something about it, which I E got
to work.

Speaker 6 (17:03):
All right. LD the mad Trucker firmly in favor of
setting parameters on what you can and cannot pausing yourself
with on the SNAMP program. What did he shout out?
Sugar smacks? Captain Crunch Now. Today in the press conference
in West Virginia, RFK Jr. Said that sugar is as

(17:29):
addictive as crack. Sugar smacks in his mind, similar to crack,
Crack Smacks more, Uncle Henry Show, After the News, Uncle

(19:10):
five one four seven nine two seven two three. Now,
before I move on from the topic of changing the
food stamp requirements so that people can't buy sugary drinks
on food stamps. RFK Junior at his press conference today
was talking to the crowd about how the the tobacco

(19:33):
companies bought food companies. Now I've heard that before, but
he gave some detail I'd never heard before. I just
wanted you to hear just a little bit of just
a there's a detail that I had never heard before
that he came out with today that answer some questions
for me.

Speaker 9 (19:53):
They settled those lawsuits, but they also started shifting there
resources to diversify their companies, and they went out and
they bought the food companies. So by nineteen ninety four,
the two biggest food companies in the world were RJ.
Reynolds and Philip Morris tobacco companies. They took about ten

(20:16):
thousand scientists who were all engaged in the various ways
to make tobacco more addictive, and they put them to
work making food addictive, inventing ingredients in the laboratory that
would make it do things to food.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
For example, I've never heard this part.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
They found out that food that you fill up your
brain tells you your stomach gets filled in part by
counting a number of times.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
You chew, so chewing, if you chew a lot, that
tells your brain that you should be satisfied. I've not
heard this before.

Speaker 9 (20:58):
So they started adding soft to our food so that
you wouldn't choose so much, so you haven't had a
sense that you're you're unsatisfied, are you're insatiable, You're never full,
so that you keep pouring it down your mouth. That's
just one of the many things they did. They added.

Speaker 6 (21:19):
So now that he goes on and on, so adding
softeners to food so you don't have to chew as often,
you don't have to chew as much with what they
what they've created in the lab to put in the food.
I've never heard that before, but I have noticed over
the last I don't know, ten, fifteen, twenty years going

(21:41):
to the grocery store, and I could never figure out
why some snack foods, sugary and or salty snack foods
would come and bite form.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
Have you seen this?

Speaker 6 (21:59):
I think they do it with pop tarts. I can't remember.
I can't remember the exact things because I've never bought
anything like this. But instead of instead of the full version.
They've got the full version of the snack food on sale,
and then right next to it is another It's the
same thing, only it's in bites. If you've seen this,

(22:20):
and I kept thinking, are we what has happened to
the American people that were that were? Are we too
lazy that we don't even want to bite it? That
would rather it be bitten for us? I was, I
was looking at this what fifteen twenty years ago? Bites?
But now it makes sense now if that's true, if

(22:44):
the premise of that chewing sends a signal to the brain,
Now it makes sense that these these lousy foods, some
of them are being sold in form, so it's prebitten
for you. You've seen this pre bitten food, and I've wondered,

(23:08):
I thought, well, what's next if it's if we're gonna
instead of biting a pop tart they're gonna make they're
gonna bite it for me and have it ready in bites?
What well, what will be next after that? Are they
gonna have pre chewed food? I guess so? According to
his what he's telling us there anyway, just uh and

(23:32):
and he goes on and on talks about you know,
adding the extra salt, adding the extra sugar.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (23:38):
Well, here, I'll let him tell you. I'm almost done
with this sugar.

Speaker 9 (23:42):
Sugar is his addictiveness crack. And it's almost as bad
for you. It kills you just as surely it just
kills you a little slower. It feeds tumors, It destroys
your body, It destroys your brain.

Speaker 6 (23:57):
And they added, sugar destroy your brain. I didn't know that.
Maybe that's what's happened to me.

Speaker 9 (24:04):
More and more sugar to make us addicted to their products.
And these companies are now, just like the tobacco companies were,
are flooding into the offices of your state leaders and
legislators of the governor, and they're telling them he's making
a big mistake. They're telling them that they're going to
stop writing checks, they're going to run people against them,

(24:26):
that they're going to destroy their political careers. And Governor
Morrisey was telling me that he met with the soda
companies this week and they said to them, you need
to be educated about this. And they said, you know,
food stamps is not a nutrition program. He came in
with his diet coke and he said, is there anything

(24:48):
nutritious in here, and they were like, no, of course not.
But food stamps is not a nutrition program, and he said,
it's called SNAPPER Supplementary Nutrition and Assistance Program. It's supposed
to be nutrition. It's not supposed to be food like
substances that are actually poisoning us.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
All right, Well, anyway, we'll see what happens. I'm I
don't know what the reaction of the public will be
if this spreads. If it spreads and they actually make
it to where you can't buy the very unhealthy food
with food stamps, what will the reaction be. Will it
actually shift votes? Will some people because what's more basic

(25:35):
to some people than what they're eating? Could it motivate
some people who never vote to go out and vote
so they can make sure they can get coke or
PEPSI don't. I have no idea, but it's it is
something to see them try to do this. Now, you
just heard him talk about the big money involved and

(25:56):
how they're already trying to throw their weight around with
the cash like every interest re group does. Will they
prevent this because there's a there's a there's a lot
of money, as you heard, a lot of money involved
in all this trying to get you to instead of
eating fresh produce, they would love to have you eating

(26:21):
some chip that claims it has sweet potato in it.
Two five to one or seven nine two seven two three.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
Now.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
In the last ever since Ron Reims was in a
week ago, uh, there have been a kind of walk
down memory lane here on the Uncle Henry Show with
several calls about former politicians of the past going to
jail and whether or not they were innocent or non
things like that. And I think a week ago when
Ron was here, I asked him about a skating rink

(29:15):
that I thought. I thought that the former county Commissioner
Dan Wiley had a skating rink near where Malfunction Junction
used to be. For those that remember Malfunction Junction, it's
been a malfunction junction hadn't been malfunction junction for a
long long time. Now it turns out that Ld did

(29:37):
remember the skating rink. He said it's it was called
skate Haven. Skate Haven.

Speaker 8 (29:45):
Hey, uncle Henry Keld, I wonder if anybody remembers about
skate Haven. H was really cool about that is they
would have a they had races there for the kids
about midway through the show, through the hours that they
let to skate. They'd have boys races and then girls races.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
And then they had.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
The thing that I love the most, man, you could Uh,
all the girls would get out into the uh get.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
Out into onto the skating thing, and then.

Speaker 8 (30:18):
They would just slowly skate around. And then the boys
could jump out there and pick a girl that he liked.
The little girl this is it was harmless fun and
you held her hand while you skated. And oh my god,
I met a couple of cuties up there.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
In the little right now.

Speaker 6 (30:36):
I'm sorry to pause this now. This is I remember
only a few years ago. Uh, somebody I know had
a had a child that was skating rink age in Mobile.
This was I don't know three years ago, four years ago,
and uh, they took their kids skating somewhere I don't

(30:59):
want to. I don't want to be smirch any place
locally where people could go roller skating. And the surprise
was that they had to have police presence. That the Uh,
I guess that's modern America. But at the skating rink,

(31:19):
the mobile skating rink a few years ago, they had
to have quite the police presence just to keep order
at the skating rink, so a little bit different from
the time that LD was in there with the skating
and holding.

Speaker 8 (31:32):
Hands hand while you skated. And oh my god, I
met a couple of cuties up there as a little
boy and it was really sweet. I did like that.
I forgot what that was called. And then they had
the boys do the same exact thing. The boys drew
me swimming skating around and the girls could come up

(31:53):
and hold your hand while you skated. And and one
time I got out there and I skated and no
one came up and grabbed my hand, and it just about.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
Crushed me, man, about crushed me. But uh, that.

Speaker 8 (32:08):
Was it was good times. We used to go there
every weekend until, like I said, until.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
They had that.

Speaker 8 (32:13):
Uh. I'm the more I think about it, more I
think it was a spexual assault, uh there.

Speaker 5 (32:19):
And it killed it. It killed it killed that place.

Speaker 8 (32:22):
I mean, it absolutely killed it. Now I might be wrong,
but I'm pretty sure that's what it was. We were
not we were forbid to go back there after that,
so I hated it. But that's just the way the
cookie crumbles.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
All right. Well, l D thank you for sharing your
skating rink memories there at skate Haven. I see, I
never went there, but I remember hearing about it there
near Malfunction Junction. All right, just about out of time
for this hour of the Unkleanary Show. There is more
to get to after the top of the hour. I've

(32:59):
got lots of message just from listeners stacked up that
I want to get to. Maybe get to a news
item or two as well in the next half hour
of the Uncle Henry Show. A reminder that if you've
missed any shows, like if you missed last Friday's Ron
Reems Walk Down Memory Lane, that's available as a podcast.
These shows available as podcasts. If you missed the lengthy

(33:19):
beaver discussion on the program, where we learned all about
how beavers have as many rights as.

Speaker 10 (33:26):
We do, beaver's have just as much right to exist
and to live here in their natural habitat as we do.

Speaker 6 (33:33):
So if you miss those shows, they're available as podcasts.
You can find it on the iHeartRadio app. Just go
to the app set a preset for the Uncle Henry Show.
It'll be very easy to find that way, or you
can listen on iTunes or go directly to the website
NewsRadio seventy ten dot com. You can also hear. You

(34:30):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Happy Friday to you. Now in this
half our of Uncle Henry Show, going to get to
some voicemails, maybe even a news item. Let me start
with a voicemail about a news item. This was phoned

(34:53):
in today by sixty seven year old Chris of West Locksley,
reporting from his front porch.

Speaker 11 (35:00):
Right another day on the front porch here, another beautiful
day on the front porch. Yes, Happy Friday to you,
same to you. If you've seen and or heard the news,
you're probably aware of the seven point seven on the
Richter still pardon me earthquake that was centered in Mandalay Burma.

Speaker 6 (35:24):
Yes, to interrupt the voicemail already, Yes, I saw some
of that on the x app. Some video quite terrifying.
Some of some of in terms of when when I
use that word terrifying seeing large buildings collapsing, Yes, that
would be pretty awful. And that Mandalay Burma you say.

Speaker 11 (35:48):
Was centered in Mandalay Burma, which is next door on
the northern border of Thailand, and it affected Thailand also
collapse buildings, people, et cetera. And just want you to
know that Misra's l likely has spoken with her family,

(36:08):
maul in law's sister in laws, and uh, everyone is okay.
Very tragic news coming out of Thailand, but everybody in
the family okay.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
All right. Thank you sixty seven year old Chris. I'm
glad to hear that all your extended family is okay
there in Thailand after the earthquake. Earthquakes, I've never been
through one living here on the Gulf Coast, not that
I'm aware of. Of course, we've had our share of
hurricanes and tornadoes and things like that, never anything like
an earthquake. It's hard for me to imagine what that

(36:44):
would be like to be in an earthquake. But glad
to hear that your family is okay. Voice my number
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's
two five one two one six nineteen seventy six. Oh real,
quick to sell you. Old Chris also called in about
the Alabama Crimson Tide Roll Tide Roll.

Speaker 11 (37:08):
That uh well local I sleing on the YouTube about
or two ago that the gentleman up there in Tuscaloosa
wrapped up their first scrimmage of the spring football season today.
The headman was on there for about fifteen minutes. He

(37:29):
talked for fifteen minutes but said very little. But that's okay.
That's how they usually do. They've been in all the
rest of them the same way. I do wish one time, though,
when he gets past one of those stupid questions, that
he would just haul off and verbally mack the daylights

(37:52):
out of them, you know, head blame it. We like you,
but don't be so nice to them.

Speaker 8 (38:03):
Anyway.

Speaker 11 (38:04):
Like I said, there wasn't a whole lot come out
of it.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
Roll tide, roll, roll tide, roll sixty seven year old Chris,
thank you for watching that stuff and reporting to me
on ED. And you're wishing that coach de Boor would
behave a little more like coach Saban, not just anyone
in football games, but also in the way that he
treats the media. Now, let me see if I have

(38:29):
anything in the archives real quick to give an example
of what you're talking about here. I think this is
an example of what you're talking about Nick Saban and
the way he talks to the or used to talk
to the media back before he was a member of
the media.

Speaker 12 (38:48):
Okay, so it was kind of a strong effort from
the first half starters, but it was kind of a
still a fairly slow start on both sides in the
first quarter, like for the first half the first quarter.
So how much of an emphasis as the first quarter
been in a week of preparation?

Speaker 10 (39:06):
You know, I think you really got to be digging deep.
You know, it's hard to win, and I see people
getting beat. What was the Florida score today against Stamford?

Speaker 6 (39:22):
Yeah, So.

Speaker 10 (39:25):
I mean, do you want me to be critical of
my team because we had to pump once in the
first quarter and they got a field goal. I mean,
I'm not going to do it. Like I said, they
did a couple of things. We made a couple of mistakes,
they did some things different, we adjusted to it. I
think the players did a good job.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
And.

Speaker 10 (39:43):
You know, I'm not going to be critical of anything
that our players did when we win fifty nine to three.
So not not a good question.

Speaker 6 (39:53):
Incidentally, not a good question. You did not So that's
what you want? You want more of that level of
honesty with the media. Is that what you want?

Speaker 11 (40:03):
Chris?

Speaker 10 (40:03):
I don't know why you would ask me that question,
as if I could do something about it when I
can't do anything about it. So we're playing the best
teams that we can get the playoffs. Why don't you
start calling around and see if you can get somebody
else to play us, and we'll play them. We'll play
anybody you can get the playoffs.

Speaker 6 (40:27):
Okay, I'm with you, sixty seven year old Chris, Now,
I'm starting now. Now I've got You've got me now
wanting to go watch old Saban videos.

Speaker 10 (40:35):
Don't draw conclusions because if you do, you're going to
be wrong. You can draw them if you want just
be wrong. I guess you all don't have any consequences
for being wrong, all.

Speaker 6 (40:45):
Right, Well, who knows, Maybe in the future there'll be
opportunities on national television in game analysis for Nick Saban
to have the same level of ferocity. And what that
really was was coaching the media. He was coaching them.
He was coaching the reporters, and they needed it obviously,

(41:07):
and they need a lot more of it. I wish
he would do it with all reporters. Sixty seven year
old Chris, thank you for the messages. Thank you for
making me listen to some Saban. Two five six nineteen
seventy six is the phone number to reach the one
Clanory show. That's two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six to leave a message. Well, speaking of sixty

(41:29):
seven year old Christoph Wes Locksley, h a comment on
him from the Mad Trucker.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
Hey, oh gole, Henry Ald.

Speaker 8 (41:38):
You know what I want to give a man an award.
I want to give him a trophy because he is
so deserving of this award or this trophy, which whichever
you think he's most deserving of.

Speaker 5 (41:50):
But this man needs an award.

Speaker 8 (41:53):
I thought when Chris from Locksley was working, his phone
calls were boring, but now that he's retired, he's doubled
up on it. He's tripled up on it.

Speaker 5 (42:04):
Man.

Speaker 8 (42:06):
The City of Locksley should give him the award for
the most boring retired man in the City of lock
So if thats what he.

Speaker 6 (42:17):
Means, all right now, See I feel differently I do.
By the way, LD, thank you for your voicemail. I
feel differently. I relate to sixty seven year old Chris.
If if I ended up retired, I'd probably be on
a porch doing things similar to what sixty seve year
old Chris is doing, including paying attention to Alabama football

(42:39):
and things like that. So keep those calls coming from
Locksley in from wherever else Again the voicemail number two
five one two one six, nineteen seventy six two five
one two one six nineteen seventy six to leave a
message for the Uncleanry Show. Got to take a time
out for traffic for weather from words for are wonderful sponsors,

(43:01):
and then back with more Uncle Henry's Show here on
news Radio seventy ten Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven
ten WNTM News Headlines coming up in ten minutes.

Speaker 8 (43:29):
Going.

Speaker 6 (43:30):
There's some voicemail here. I think it was yesterday's show.
Sixty seven year old Chris was calling in about the
best or worst towns to retire to in the state
of Alabama. Which towns are best to retire to? Which

(43:50):
ones are the worst? LD the Mad Trucker has a
thought on this.

Speaker 8 (43:58):
Hey, uncle Henry LD. You know, if I was a
city and mobile, I wouldn't want to be known as
the number one, number two, or number three or whatever
plate to retire why several reasons. One, retired people steal
all the sugar, all the sweet and low, and all
the salt pepper shakers off the table.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
That's a fact, thank you.

Speaker 6 (44:21):
And by the way, pausing here just to let the
listener know, I know someone working in Baldwin County, and
I want to reveal his where he's working all that stuff.
But I talked to him a couple of weeks ago
and he was telling me about all the snowbirds that

(44:41):
he has been dealing with, and he said exactly the
same thing that LD is saying right here. Yes, I've
heard this. I just heard this couple of weeks ago
from somebody that has worked with and encountered and served
snowbirds in Bowin County. And this is exactly this is

(45:04):
what the guy was taking. I was told exactly the
same thing that ld is telling us right now.

Speaker 5 (45:09):
He's off the table. That's a fact.

Speaker 11 (45:11):
They steal.

Speaker 8 (45:12):
They steal forts, they steal spoons, They put biscuits in
their pockets, and then they always hill up for the
free ride, the cheaper food.

Speaker 5 (45:22):
And they do not tip.

Speaker 8 (45:24):
On top of that, Uncle Henry's they can't drive, that's right.

Speaker 5 (45:28):
Old people cannot drive.

Speaker 8 (45:29):
They ain't got no business driving. Maybe finding my place
when they can walk around because they garns here, don't
need to be behind the wheel man. I'm telling you,
I would be honder not to be be on that
list of a great place to retire if I can
keep these people from coming to my study.

Speaker 6 (45:47):
All right, the mad truck are speaking at now. He's
about to retire. He's told us that he is about
to retire, and yet we're hearing about his complaints about
retired citizens. All right now speaking, we have truckers. Longtime
caller to the Uncleanry Show, Buford has left a few
messages about his uncle Gordon, who was a trucker and

(46:11):
he left this. This is some kind of a story
about his uncle Gordon, the truck driver.

Speaker 5 (46:18):
An this here hand the final trucking story I know
my uncle was brought about when I ended up getting
stuck with a buddy of mine. We were shining deer
out behind a yellow hammer, plant down and four every
coat in area. Yes, well we ended up getting stuck

(46:39):
two in the morning and cooking, and I got my
truck stuck trying to get my buddy's truck out. And
so the only other person we knew that could get
as out of that predicament was my uncle Gordon. So
he had a tractor and and that whole fiasco brought
about this story that he told me, Henry this Batman Mountain,

(47:00):
early seventies. He was hauling. I forget what he was hauling,
but he was hauling some sort of good through the
Nebraska corn country. And anyway here her He's driving through
nothing but corn fields as far as I could see.
And there's this feller on the side of the road

(47:21):
waving that Marba Gordon's truck to slow down into stop.
Well he did, and that old fella had gotten his
truck stuck in one of them corn fields. He was
a farmer and got stuck in his own fields and
was want to know if Marma could hook up his

(47:42):
dagrig to his truck help him get him mon stuck. Well,
he didn't feel too good about doing it. He just
had a bathroom. About that time, another former buddy and
the other farmer come up and they got one of
them big old tractor combine things and uh so, well

(48:08):
Uncle Gordon kind of put off the side of the
road to watch this unfold because he said that truck was,
I mean, it was so far down in the mud
and the muck it was the man had to crawl
out of the window get out of it.

Speaker 6 (48:21):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (48:22):
And Henry, they hooked up that big old track ginormous
tractor combine thing up to that pickup truck, and when
it went to pulling, it pulled.

Speaker 6 (48:33):
That truck in half, pulled the truck in half. Okay,
that's I have not I don't know that I've seen
that before.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
And uh he said, that old farmer just broke down
crying right then, and there com a Gordon. He just
went tooling on down the road. But uh, we brought
that story to mine for him. Tell me that was
before he took his tack t up to my I
pick up truck. He told me he used to always
call his babies, he said, baby. He said, this tractor

(49:05):
can pull this truck in half. I've seen it done.
And anyway, Henry, he pulled me out of my mud
hole just fine.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
But uh.

Speaker 5 (49:15):
Yeah, he was quite a character, Henry, and he surely was.
I do miss him dearly. But going through Nebraska, he
saw some big old combine tractor.

Speaker 6 (49:26):
All right, and then the voice smail cut him off.
You for thank you for telling me about the truck
being pulled in half in a cornfield in Nebraska. All right,
