Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before
I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.
Oh that's so powerful I'm hearing. It just means so

So without further ado, in the style of that great
country music legend Minnie Pearl, here's.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
In Thank You, Thank You, Uncle Henry's show underway here
on news Radio seven ten WNTM. I appreciate very much
in listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Once again. Here

(02:53):
we are together, me and you trying to figure out
what's going on in the world around us and what
we need to do about it. Now today, this Thursday,
May Day, first day of May, it is also the
National Day of Prayer, and you've got a prayer service

(03:14):
if you're looking for somewhere to pray with some other folks.
This evening, you've got the City of Mobile's National Day
of Prayer. They had a sunrise service this morning and
now they're doing an evening event that starts at six
this evening. So you've still got time to get yourself

(03:35):
to Brooklyn by the Bay for this National Day of
Prayer gathering. Now, this is going to be held, as
I said, Brookly by the Bay. That's at twenty five
Old Bayfront Drive in Mobile, Alabama. It's free and open
to the public. The gates are open right now, So
if you want to go ahead and get a good spot,
you can do that. They've got pastors Joe and Linda

(03:58):
Johnson from out he Braught Church Ministries and Pam Haines
and Pam Haines Ministries, and they're going to have some
musical performances as well. So that is going on this evening.
National Day of Prayer going on today all day and
you've got that service tonight at six o'clock at Brooklyn
by the Bay. Prayer is it's well worth engaging in.

(04:24):
We're told to pray all the time. I'm paraphrasing whatever
that is in the Bible about praying all the time.
But we're told to pray a lot, and there's a
lot of people that need prayer in this world. We
all do, I suppose in some form of fashion. I
know a lot of people that call this show. There
were some people that called yesterday that I'd like to

(04:44):
pray for their minds to be healed from the sickness
that has infected the mind. There's a lot of people
to pray for, So National Day of Prayer. We'll talk
perhaps more about that as the program moves forward in
the time stream. Now Here on the first day of May.
May Day, May is National Barbecue Month. All right, I

(05:05):
can get behind that. Very good National Barbecue Month. It's
also a National Hamburger Month. I'm a big fan of
the hamburger that. You know that what a great invention.
You know, the sandwich is a pretty good invention, but
the hamburger I really just I feel superior to just
an ordinary sandwich. So you got National Barbecue Month, National
Hamburger Month. It's also a National bank month. It's National

(05:29):
strawberry Month, National salad Month, It's National walking Month. What
is When did all this start? When did all this
making everything some type of a month where it's any item,
any activity or item or health problem or a good

(05:51):
cause or bad causer. It always gets a month. When
did this start? Why does it have to be all that?

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Now?

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Again, I'm not against barbie queue and hamburgers and all
that kind of stuff, or walking. I like walking from
time to time. It beats the alternative. But when did
this start? And does it have to be a whole month?
Could we not have like a week for some of
this stuff? Like salad month? Do we need a month
of that? Couldn't we have like a week salad week

(06:22):
instead of a month for that. Now, I'm not against salads.
I'm just saying, and does a hamburger I mean a month.
I would like to have like an entire quarter of
the year devoted to the hamburger. To be frank with you,
So I don't understand all that stuff. Is there a
month that we could have that could be like leave

(06:42):
me out of It month? That's yes, no offense to
all these things. These are all good causes and good things.
But could we have a leave me out of it month? Please? Now,
it's not just all those things. I told you a
national barbecue month, national Hamburger month, walking months, salad month,
strawberry month, bike month. It is also no meat May. Yeah,

(07:10):
the same month that's Hamburger Month and barbecue month is
no meat May. Now No Meat May is a challenge
to go thirty one days without eating any meat products.
And they've got a website for it, No Meatmay dot Orge.
Now I have not. I don't know why they would
do this because I ain't clicking on that link. I

(07:32):
ain't going to no Meatmay dot Orge. I mean that
I don't know. I don't want to click on things
that I'm not involved in or don't care about. Why
would we? Why would Why do you have to have
no meat May and make it a month? I give
this is another example where do we need an entire
month of this no meat May? How about a no
meat week? Or I don't know, for me, for my

(08:00):
for my tastes and my current state of mind, I
might could do a no meat minute. And that's and
why not just have a no meat minute, like right now,
this entire minute that I'm immersed in right now, and
you may not realize it, but I'm immersed in this minute.
I'm just I'm just I'm just marinating in it. How

(08:21):
aboutter just a no meat minute? Just take baby steps
toward these things? Do you need an entire month for
all this? Though? Anyway it is? It is May Day,
a new month of possibilities, and there is more to come.
The possibilities for this show, I don't know how, They're

(08:43):
probably very limited. But this show will continue after the
break here on news radio seven to ten WNTM, The
Uncle Henry Show on the first day May. It's May Day,

(09:08):
Uncle Henry Show. It's five point twenty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes from Fox Stand and from Fox
Radio National News. Now. I mentioned in the last segment
of the show that there's a movement to make May
no Meat May, challenging people to deprive themselves from essential

(09:29):
protein and just not eat meat for the month of May.
No meat May. Now. I think it was Steven Briland
on Facebook that suggested it be double meat May. Steven,
I love the way you think double meat May. You know,
to counteract no meat May. I don't want to harm
the meat industry. So while other people are observing no

(09:52):
meat May, I'm going to make a challenge to myself
to have double meat May and have extra servings of me.
I don't want. The meat industry's got to survive. So
thank you for Stephen Bridland. Thank you for that inspiration.
In fact, with all these different National Barbecue Month in Maine,
National Hamburger Month in May, National Salad Month in Maine,

(10:14):
all that kind of stuff, there's a certainly room for more.
In fact, I would like to start a campaign to
make August National Deodorant Month to encourage the the excessive
use of deodorant products in the month of August, because

(10:37):
we need it all year round here on the Gulf Coast.
But I have to go to a lot of these
concerts at the wharf, and I meet a lot of people.
I meet a lot of people in the summer working
for ninety five KSJ out at these concerts. And it
would be nice if there was a national deodorant month
to encourage people to use excessive amounts of deodorant in

(10:57):
the month of August. I have to feel figure out.
I'll do some research and figure out how to launch
one of these months, one of these mean meaningless months,
see if I can help with that. And then and
some other month of the year I'd like to create
would be a national no cologne month. Maybe I might

(11:19):
do that in like November, no novembers filled, December's filled
up to with a bunch. Maybe January. Make January national
no colonne or perfume month, because people have to be
indoors more often in colder weather, and some people just
they go the opposite. Instead of wearing deodorant, they put
on so much colone, almost like they want you to

(11:40):
smell it out on the road when you're driving by
their house. I don't I don't understand it. I don't
understand it all. But anyway, enough of that This is
the Uncle Henry Show. If you want to call in
if there's something you want to talk about. Two five
one four seven nine two seven two three. That's two
five one four seven nine two seven two three email
address Uncle Henry and iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle Henry

(12:02):
at iHeartMedia dot com. Also get voicemail messages from listeners.
Got a voicemail about a story that was on the
air yesterday. Yesterday, we're talking about this cruise ship terminal

(12:23):
garage that Mayor Stimpson is talking about how it might
be cost effective to tear it down because back when
when the City of Mobile built this parking garage back
in two thousand and four, they built it out of
something that was described in the news report as vulnerable

(12:44):
to salt air, which is it's quite a thing to
ponder that you would build anything near the water that
would be vulnerable to salt air, especially a parking garage

(13:05):
that you kind of needed to be sturdy, right, We
kind of needed to be sturdy if we're going to
drive cars and truck something on top of it. Now,
I got a voicemail about this, But how they uh,
they built this out of out of something that was
vulnerable to salt air. Let's go to sixty eight year
old Chris of what slocks at least I believe this
is him.

Speaker 8 (13:26):
Bro tyd Huck, Uncle Henry. I just read something that
fascinates me, and I'm going to read it to you.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
Oh I love this. Now, you the listener, if you
ever read something that fascinates you the voice and at
any time twenty four hours a day. My voicemail number
is two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six.
That's two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six.
I would love for you to read to me on
the voicemail, especially news items that saves me the time

(13:54):
of going to the trouble and do it to myself.
So what did Chris read?

Speaker 8 (13:58):
And this is relative to the parking garage that Mayor
Stimpson has recommended me torn down and a new one
built in its place, about because the concrete's going south.
I read the following. This comes from a website called

(14:18):
the History Archives on.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Facebook Read the History Archives.

Speaker 8 (14:23):
Ancient Roman concrete can heal its own cracks, scientists discovered
in twenty twenty three using special lime chunks that react
with waters. This two thousand year old liquid stone automatically
fixes damage. The Pantheon's dome still stands, while modern concrete

(14:45):
fails in decades. How about them apples read on the Facebook.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Thank you very very much, sixty eight year old Chris
and Westlocks. Thank you for reading to the Uncle Henry
show on Facebook. I mean, yes, thank you for reading
to the Uncle Henry show on the voicemail about some
of you saw on Facebook. Now that reminds talking about
this concrete faling uh years ago. I don't know if
it was ten years ago or longer or sooner than then.

(15:19):
But back in the day, I was invited to go
on a church mission trip to Cuba by KP of
Shirt Butter dot com. KP's church was going down and
I'm sure still keeps going down to Cuba helping a
church in Cuba. And one of the things that I
learned when I was there the You know, of course,

(15:40):
the Russians had had a close relationship. I don't know
if they still are as close as they used to be,
but had a close relationship with Cuba missile crisis. You
remember that. Well, they kept talking about the Russian concrete
in Cuba, that things made out of the Russian concrete
were just incredible. And there was at least a day

(16:06):
or two that we were trying to bust a hole
in some Russian concrete. There was a young couple had
just got married and they were going to move into
this this structure that the Russians have built with their
Russian concrete, and I just I had That's one of

(16:30):
the things I'll never forget about that trip to Cuba,
is spending hours trying to put holes in that stuff.
Didn't I think we did. I think there was a
jackhammer involved. It was. That was It was amazing how
tough that stuff was. So I don't know, you try

(16:51):
to think are communists good at anything other than killing
and starving people and censoring people, treating people horribly well,
I guess one thing they were good at was building
concrete structures, because we could not. I mean, that was
just it was a great way to get a workout

(17:13):
trying to put a hole in that stuff. Maybe maybe
as part of this Russia Ukraine deal, we could get
some concrete experts to come to Mobile and tell Mobile
how to build parking structures that forty and fifty years later,

(17:34):
you can't put a hole in a right, there's more
to come. Yes, I'm paid to stay here for a
while longer, so there will be more Uncle Henry Show
after the news break.

Speaker 1 (17:51):

Telephone number here two five one four seven nine two

(18:49):
seven two three. That's two five one four seven nine
two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
dot com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. And
let me see I have another voicemail phoned in today
that I would like to get to while it's still afresh.

Speaker 8 (19:08):
Tired, Uncle listening to The Hennity Show, and they're in
a commercial break here after the top of the hour
of the three o'clock hours, listening to it on my
app and I just hear the commercial four I'm not
gonna say the name of the product, but their slogan

(19:28):
and this was reiterated a couple or three times during
the commercial spot. The year twenty twenty five has been
designated as the Year of the poop. And then they
go on about their product, how to make you have
a better poop, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (19:48):
All right, now, I'm pausing the voicemail just here. I'm
pausing the voicemail there just to uh, I'm sure that
I don't know what sixty seven year old Chris or
sixty eight year old Chris this is going to say next?
But do you ever if you're old enough to remember,
and I know you probably are, are you old enough

(20:11):
to remember? When this kind of stuff was not discussed
in the media, The bodily functions were not discussed in
the media, when the media had enough civility and decorum
and manners and class to not have bodily functions discussed
all over the television all over the radio. Now, if

(20:36):
your body is involved in it, you can't escape hearing
about it. You can't escape escape seeing it. There's all
these discussions about it. It's disgusting. It is disgusting. I
wish there were a way to opt out. The technology
keeps getting better and more complex as each day goes

(20:59):
by in our lives. Is there ever going to be
a time?

Speaker 8 (21:02):
You know?

Speaker 5 (21:03):
On social media apps sometimes you can you're asked to
select ad preference where you can you can get rid
of commercials you don't want to see again and things
like that. Wouldn't it be nice to tell your television
that you don't want to see somebody talking about uh,

(21:24):
personal hygiene. Wouldn't that be nice? Wouldn't it be nice
to be able to tell your television, Hey, tonight, we
don't want to see any we don't want to learn
about twenty twenty five being the year of the poop.
We'd like to we'd like to opt out of that.
Could we opt out of that? There's place sell me soap?

(21:45):
Whatever happened to turn it on the TV and the
commercial would be about soap instead of some some pharmaceutical
product to that I need to take. So that I
can have unprotected you know what, I don't want to
at any of that. I don't want sell me some soap.
You don't have to sell me all this other stuff,
like something so I can improve the quality of this

(22:07):
that or the other. That's a bodily function I would
love to go to. I don't want to go to
the past. I don't want to go to the past
because I like the modern inventions of today. I like
being able to wear glasses to be able to see,
and all the different innovations that we have, being able
to watch an Alabama football game on my phone, if

(22:30):
I'm invited to a ridiculous wedding that is at the
wrong time of year, stuff like that. Use this technology
and help me opt out from the kind of stuff
that Chris is talking about here. We don't need to
have this, all right, let me, Chris, I apologize for
interrupting your message. Back to the Voss mail.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
You're twenty twenty five has been designated as the year
of the poop, and then they go on out their
product how to make you have a better poof et cetera,
et cetera. Is there no shame or dignity anymore? And
radio and TV.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
No, there's not.

Speaker 8 (23:12):
I mean back in my day when I worked at
the college radio station in the early eighties, if you
just said something like that, well you probably got kicked
out of school.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yes, yeah, me.

Speaker 8 (23:28):
Times they had changed, you know.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
And I every year I've got a special test and
learning thing I have to do with my company that
outlines all the stuff we're not allowed to talk about.
We're not allowed to you ain't you ain't allowed to
talk about that. Don't you dare talk about that? And
it's a it's and it's always about dirtiness, filth iness
and nastiness. And then so I'm not allowed to talk

(23:54):
about this, and then a commercial comes on and there
it is all right any way, sixty sixty eight year
old Chris of West Likesley, thank you for your voicemail
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. To
leve a voicemail two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. Now, since I'm on the topic of the voicemails,

(24:15):
here's here's a fresh one from The Snake Trapper.

Speaker 9 (24:20):
Hey, I'm green the Snake Trapper. Hey man, I see
where Kamala Harris crawled out from under the rock that
she's been living under from give a speech yesterday. Yes, Uh, listen, man,
And for any Democrat or liberal out there, if you
want even a half a chance of getting anywhere in
politics today, uh, you need to uh throw away the

(24:44):
judges and due process cards. Uh because it's not gonna
work because American people are realizing that you are not
for America.

Speaker 8 (24:53):
You are for illegals.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (24:55):
And for all them Democrats that loves to get us
stuff animal and go to a corner and start squalling
and sucking on their throne because they don't like the
way the Orange man is doing. A due process is
for American citizens, not rapist murderers and gang members that

(25:17):
cross our borders illegally. And until a Democrat can get that,
I don't believe they're gonna get anywhere. America has rejected.

Speaker 8 (25:27):
That and they will continue to reject that.

Speaker 9 (25:30):
So Democrats, I recommend if you come out and start
praising what President Trump's doing and stand up for American citizens,
you might have a shot. So, Kamala Harris, I listened
to that little speech you give on Henry sound like
she was a little boozy, And what I mean by

(25:51):
that she was hitting the old nippogin drinking out the bottle.
She's an idiot on View. You have a good day,
my buddy.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
All right, stake Trevor, thank you, and and I have
I knew she made a speech. I did not listen
to any of it. Even though people nowadays, anytime she
pops up and gives a speech, there's always people coming
coming out with video clips claiming that she's got to
be on something. You know, maybe maybe she is, but

(26:22):
maybe maybe that's just how she is. Maybe that's just
how she is. I've met people in Mobile that that
you would think that they were on something, but they're not.
They're just weird. It's just maybe she's just a weird person.
But uh, you snake, Trevor, you say that the American

(26:42):
people are going to continue to reject that Democrat message,
I'm I wouldn't be so sure. Uh. There are I
don't know if they're they're paid or not, but there
are a lot of people that are that are starting
to protest, and I think protesters in Tuscaloosa now for
President Trump. So I don't know. I don't know if

(27:06):
I am optimistic or not about people rejecting those messages.
In our country, snaketap trapper. All right, going to take
a quick time out for a break, and then yes
we have traffic, weather, words from the sponsors, and then
more Uncle Henry Show. A reminder if you'd like to

(27:27):
listen to previous shows, they are available as podcasts on
the iHeartRadio app. Look for Uncle Henry's Show. You'll find
it easily on the iHeartRadio app. Just set a preset
for it and you'll always find the show back after
the break. Uncle Henry Show. News Radio seven to ten WNTIM.

(28:14):
It's five point fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.
It's a National Day of Prayer. There is a service
that is beginning at six o'clock at Brooklyn by the Bay,
So you have time to get to Brooklyn by the
Bay if you want to participate in the National Day

(28:35):
of Prayer service this evening, and they will have some
nice music there as well as prayer. Now, if you
missed it, Governor Ivy k Ivy put out a special
National Day of Prayer video. Let's listen. It's been a
while since I've heard k Ivy, so let's listen to

(28:57):
Governor k Ivy.

Speaker 10 (28:59):
My fellows, I am proud to join you in people
all across the country for the seventy fourth National Day
of Prayer. This year's theme, pour out to the God
of Hope and be Filled, reminds us of the promise
in Romans, chapter fifteen, verse thirteen. It reads, Now the

(29:24):
God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace
in believing that you may abound in hope through the
power of the Holy Ghost. So through the power of
the Holy Spirit, we can be filled with peace and hope.
And I think we can all agree that the strength

(29:45):
of our nation has always relied on these spirit given qualities.
In this season of new leadership and bold steps forward
in Washington, we pray for wisdom and strength for President Trump.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
Start to interrupt her, I just want to let you
know I did not. I did not digitally alter this
this audio to make it slower. I did not. This
was not digitally altered.

Speaker 10 (30:12):
And all those entrusted with the responsibilities of governing as
people of faith, we are called to pray for our
leaders that they may govern justly and uphold the values
that make this nation strong. We also pray for our
brave men and women who have worn the uniform and

(30:35):
still wear it today. Our veterans, military, law enforcement, and
first responders. They protect and serve us. May God continue
to shield them and their families. We pray for our children,
for their education and their future. Alabamians know first hand

(30:57):
the power of prayer. Time and time again, we have
seen the Lord's hand of blessing in the goodness that
defines our state. I've long said Alabama is the best
state in the country, and that is because of the
character of our people and the faith that ankles us.

(31:18):
So today I encourage every Alabamia and take a moment,
say a prayer, pour your heart to the God of hope,
and trust that life will fill you with what you need.
May God bless each of you. May He continue to
pour out his blessings on Alabama, and may He forever

(31:40):
bless these United States of America.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
That was governor I've been talking about the National Day
of Prayer. Now, like her or not, agree with some
of the things she's done or not, I know I'm
gonna miss her accent. I'm gonna miss her accent when
she's gone, and I can only hope that whoever becomes
our next governor is somebody that sounds as Alabama as

(32:07):
she does, or even more. I'm hoping for someone as
close to fog horn leghorn as possible for governor. Now
now i'm talking. I'm not talking about policy, fog horn
leghorns policies or anything like that. I'm talking about the
fog horn leghorn way of speaking. I'm looking I'm looking
for a good accent is what I'm looking for in

(32:29):
the next governor. And since it is the National Day
of Prayer, let me close this segment with a prayer.
Here is a caller calling in with the Lord's prayer.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want He
make me to lie down in the green pastor he
leades me besides to steal waters, he restores my soul.
He leaders me in the past of righteousness for his

(33:05):
name's sake. Yedo, I walked through the valley of the
shadow of death, our people up evil for God or
with me thy law and their staff that comforts me,
that prepare a table before me. In the presence of

(33:27):
my enemies, die unerted my hair with all my cup
runners over. Sure is goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life. And I will drill
in the House of the Lord Forever.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
National Day of Prayer. There is more Uncle lan Re
show to come after the news break at the top
of the hour here on news Radio seven ten WNTM.

(34:30):
This says the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seven ten WNTM. In this half hour of show, I'm
going to get to some news items for you, but
first I want to put a spotlight on a charitable
event coming up this Sunday Inmobile. This is a fundraiser
raising money for a very good cause, the USA Children's

(34:50):
and Women's Hospital. I've got Danaswick and SHAWNA. Thorpe on
the phone here from University of South Alabama. Ladies, how
are things going at you?

Speaker 11 (35:01):
They're great. We're rocking and rolling. We have lots of
events coming up. The biggest one we have coming up
on Sunday is local Goodness. So we're excited to bring
that back to Children's and Women's.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
Okay, so local Goodness. This is an event to raise
money for the Children's and Women's Hospital. We'll talk about
that in a moment, but explain to the listener what
local Goodness is. I know it's Sunday evening starts at
four o'clock at Magnolia Manor on spring Hill Avenue. But
what happens during Local Goodness?

Speaker 11 (35:30):
Yeah, So Local Goodness started back in twenty fourteen, and
obviously the last time we had it in person was
in twenty nineteen. So we have a big committee of
great volunteers and stewards of Children's and Women's Hospital, and
with them we were able to help raise enough money
to help cover the cost to open the new pediatric

(35:51):
emergency department over at Children's and Women's. So this year,
in particular, we're looking to raise money for pediatric interventional radiology,
which we can definitely tell you a little bit about that,
but I'll let Dana tell you more about the details.
Happening on Sunday, Yeah, Like, like.

Speaker 12 (36:06):
You said, the event is from four to seven at
Magnolia Manor on spring Hill Avenue. There's a cocktail hour,
there's going to be a great kind of farm to
table local cuisine served by more sets and Company catering
company dinners. At about five thirty, you'll hear some great speakers,
some great music. The band that's playing actually participates in

(36:28):
our other event that was back in January called Dock
Rock Down at Pulkitchen. So they're one of our favorite
bands who have a real heart for the mission that
we're raising money for. So just come and get some
good food, some good music. There's Game of Chance prizes
that you can enter for a chance to win some
of those prizes, and really just coming and hanging out

(36:50):
with the community and raising money for a really great cost.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
Now, I went to the website and you the listener.
If you want to find out more about this and
buy tickets to the event, you can go to USA
health system dot com. That's USA health System dot com
slash local Goodness. Now, when I went and looked to
learn about local goodness ladies, I saw something about, uh,

(37:14):
a contortionist. Is somebody gonna be? Is there somebody gonna
be I'm gonna be eating delicious food and there's gonna
be somebody contorting. What's going on?

Speaker 11 (37:22):
Yeah, we thought you were the contortionist.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
No, no, no, no, I'm hey. It is a victory
when I can tie my shoes, That is a victory.

Speaker 12 (37:31):
It'll make more sense when you know that the theme
of this year's event is under the Big Tops. Oh
kind of circus themed.

Speaker 11 (37:37):
YEP.

Speaker 12 (37:38):
Probably could have mentioned that, so there'll be a contortionist,
a fire breather, and stilt walkers, lots of cool entertainment
during that Coppill hour portion, just to kind of, you know,
make people think that they're at a circus. It's gonna
be great.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
Now. That's now, that does sound like a lot of fun.
Now you you've explained that the food is going to
be quite top notch. This is gonna be some fantastic food.
And as I'm there enjoying the ambiance of magnolia manor
with this great food, somebody might breathe fire for me.

Speaker 12 (38:07):
Right, absolutely, just keep you a little warm, you never know.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
Now, talk a little bit about these opportunities for people.
You call it game of Chance. Can you explain to
people what this is?

Speaker 12 (38:20):
Yeah, So we have three packages that people can enter
for a chance to win. So they just have to
answer a question and purchase a ticket, and that ticket
then gives them a chance to win one of our
three prizes. One of the prizes is a John Deere gator,
so we've got some pretty big ticket items. Another one
is a kind of great Outdoorsman package, which is a

(38:42):
lot of hunting an outdoors material that was provided by
mossy Oak, and the other package is actually from our caterer,
or part of it is from our caterer. It's a
twelve person, five course tasting menu for an in home dinner,
and then some gift cards from local boutiques. So we've
kind of got something for everybody, something for her, something

(39:04):
for him, something for the family. So your people are
welcome to enter for a chance to win all three
of them or put all their eggs in one basket,
whichever you'd like to do. But there's something for everyone.

Speaker 11 (39:14):
Okay, Now we'll have to be present to win. In
the outdoors package, Dana forgot to mention the best part,
there will be a pick of the litter through the
Mascio kennel, and so they will also get the opportunity
to choose a hunt and dog when the time comes.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Yeah, I was, I was just about to say, because
I didn't know about that package, and when I saw
the details, I thought, wow, Well, there are so many
great charitable efforts here on the Gulf Coast. I've been
to lots of different great auctions and things like that.
This is quite this ultimate outdoorsement package. I believe it
is the ultimate outdorsement package. I've not seen anything like

(39:52):
this at any other charity event.

Speaker 12 (39:54):
That's yeah, well, so make sure you buy a ticket
in that enter for a chance to win it.

Speaker 11 (39:58):
Yeah, or in our many big shout outs to them.
They're the ones that reached out to their networks to
make these packages happen. You know, Beard Equipment was very
gracious in donating the John der Gator for us, and
then Hillary Hayes and family work together to put together
that macioak package.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
And again, you the listener, if you want to find
out more about this, get tickets. Look at these packages
we're talking about because we're not going over all the details.
It's the website is USA HealthSystem dot com slash local
Goodness and you get all the information there. Now, this
is all for a very good cause. The Children's and

(40:38):
Women's Hospitals, such a tremendous asset to this community and
has been for so many years. Talk a little bit
more about how the money is going to be used.
You mentioned radiology.

Speaker 11 (40:49):
Yeah, so it's going to be specifically for pediatric interventional radiology.
Doctor Kevin Wong joined Children's and Women's about two years ago,
and he is one of three hundred residency trained and
certified pediatric interventional radiologists. So basically they're using minimally invasive

(41:13):
techniques using guided imagery to help diagnose and treat children
with a wide range of conditions. And so he has
a great team they're looking to build out we call
it an ir so an IR suite to be able
to do these procedures there on campus.

Speaker 5 (41:33):
It is, as I said, it's just such an asset
to this community. It's I had an opportunity to tour
the Children's Women's Hospital years ago. It might have been
fifteen or twenty years ago, but I think the most
impressive thing I've ever seen in my entire life is
neonatal intensive care at Women's, Children's and Women's. It's just
amazing the work that has done at that hospital.

Speaker 11 (41:56):
Absolutely, and Uncle Henry, we will have to che back
him for a tour because we have the new pediatric
emergency room and it really caters to all different populations,
whether you know, you have some some kids that might
get overstimulated with sensory and things like that. So it's
a very very special place. It seems like everything has

(42:18):
been thought about when they when they built that pediatric
Emergency Department.

Speaker 5 (42:22):
The event is this Sunday evening. It starts at four,
goes from four to seven. Beautiful location, Magnolia Manor spring
Hill Avenue. The money goes for one of the best
causes you can find on the Gulf Coast. And it
sounds like great food, great music, great opportunities to win,
great prizes. Have I left anything out?

Speaker 11 (42:41):
I don't think so. No, it's sounds great, all.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
Right, So again, listener, it's USA HealthSystem dot com. Slash
Local Goodness. To get tickets or even just make a donation. Ladies,
thank you so much for your time today, Thank.

Speaker 11 (42:54):
You for having us.

Speaker 8 (42:55):
Thank you, and I'm.

Speaker 5 (42:57):
Back with more. Uncle Henry Shall after the break here
on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. Let's take the break,

(43:22):
It says the Uncle Henry Show. News headlines coming your
way on WNTM. In about ten minutes. Before we get
to the news headlines, a news item or two. President
Trump speaking in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. That speech coming up sometime soon.
I think it's scheduled for six thirty. I don't know

(43:44):
if he's speaking right at six thirty or sometime after,
but happening soon, I'm sure you can find its streaming
all over the place. Now, there's been a lot of
reporting up in the Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery area about President
True t arriving in Alabama and speaking as part of

(44:05):
the commencement for the University of Alabama special ticketed event tonight. Now. WBrC,
a step sister station to Fox ten. They did a
report to analyze the support that Donald Trump may have
with young voters. And I don't know a lot about
this because I don't talk to a lot of young people.

(44:29):
I realize they are our future, but I also realize
they don't know a lot. And yeah, no offense to
the young, but they don't know as much as old people.
I'd rather talk to somebody, you like, eighty ninety years old,
because they know a lot. But anyway, there's been talk
that young people, some young people were supporting Donald Trump.

(44:51):
Let's listen to this report together from WBrC where they
try to analyze all this.

Speaker 13 (44:58):
Wondering why President Trump chose to speak at the University
of Alabama and what he's going to say in his address.
Your reporter Josh Kant, speaking to a political science professor
at Jacksonville State All right.

Speaker 5 (45:09):
This is a warning we're hearing a political science professor,
or just a warning that it's a political science professor.
So it might be a giant load whatever you hear it.
And I haven't heard this yet, so we may we
may hear something good. We may hear a giant load,
because it's a professor.

Speaker 13 (45:29):
About why college students are a big audience for the president.

Speaker 14 (45:33):
Yeah, President Trump no stranger to Alabama. This is a
ruby red state. He knows he plays well here. And
in the last election he made big inroads with younger
voters that was eighteen to twenty nine. Some political analysts
say the president won a majority of that age group,
who chose pocketbook issues like the economy as their top concern.
Trump also made big gains in almost every swing state.

(45:55):
In twenty twenty four, I spoke with Jacksonville State political
science professor doctor Lorrie Owens about why she believes Trump
resonated with younger voters.

Speaker 15 (46:04):
Going back to the state of the economy and inflation.
I mean, college students are thinking about you know, they
need jobs and they need now.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
I would like to say I'm sorry to interrupt the
political science professor, but I don't know if this is
going to be a load or not. But I like
her accent. Yes, if I'm going to be taught in
a school, I would like somebody to have an accent
like this. All right, back to the political science professor about.

Speaker 14 (46:30):
Why she believes Trump resonated with younger voters.

Speaker 15 (46:33):
Going back to the state of the economy and inflation.
I mean, college students are thinking about, you know, they
need jobs, and they need to be able to pay
off their loan, and they want some economic stability. And
you know, the inflation was a big was a big
point during the twenty twenty four election.

Speaker 14 (46:54):
Fast forward to one hundred plus days in office in some.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
Point by the way, sure to interrupt again, But I
also wouldn't that apply to every voter what the lady
just said. Don't all of us want some form of
economic stability with no inflation, stable job, be able to
pay back money if we owe it. Wouldn't we all
like that?

Speaker 14 (47:18):
All show President Trump now losing support among young people
who helped put him in office, especially among young men.
They cite the economy and other issues. So it will
be interesting to see what type message Trump delivers tomorrow
to graduates. Of course, we'll be there and we'll let
you know. I'm Josh Candy.

Speaker 5 (47:35):
All right, Well, now you heard the reporter say, it'll
be interesting to see what It'll be interesting see what
message he shares. Hasn't President Trump shared about the same
message with every crown? Does he give a different speech
depending on who the audience is a lot of politicians do,

(47:57):
And I'm sure he changes a little bit, but I
would expect he'd say the same thing to this audience
he'd say to most audiences. Well, whatever he says, we
will all find out soon, because as Fred Richardson used
to tell us, time holds the answer to everything, and
time will all know unless it's classified, unless it's in
the Epstein files, and then we we'll never know that.

(48:20):
All right, Let's see. If you are looking for something
fun to do tonight, there is a mayoral forum for
the people running for mayor of Pritchard that's starting up
in just a few minutes at six point thirty. This
is going to be at Destiny Vision Christian Center Church,
five hundred Dykes Road in eight Mile, Oh the Beauty

(48:41):
of eight Mile in spring. So that'd be a lot
of fun. If you're looking for something fun, to do
this evening, head to five hundred Dikes Road in eight Mile, Alabama,
go to Destiny Vision Christian Center Church, and hear the
candidates for mayor of Pritchard, the current mayor Jimmy Gardener,
Carletta Davis, Rodney Clements, Terence Harris, Helen Wright, and Anthony

(49:05):
Clark Banks. So I guess the number one question I
would have at that forum is why on earth would
anybody want to be mayor of Prichard. Seems like it
seems like quite a difficult job with not that big
of a payoff. So what that would be the first
question is why would you want to do this? Isn't

(49:26):
there something else you could do? That would be my
first question at that mayoral forum. And that is going
on here in just a few minutes at Destiny Vision
Christian Center Church, Dyke's Road an eight mole. All right,
out of time for this edition of the Uncle Henry Show.
As they say in Sarland, have a good one, and
as they say in Theodore, take it easy, and as

(49:48):
I've heard in a convenience store in midtown mobile from
a foreign clerk, keep it easy.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
All right.

Speaker 13 (49:58):
Later
