So many things to get into on today's show with
all just all the stuff going on with Israel versus Iran,
(03:20):
and you got the big protests planned for tomorrow across
the country. Uh, there's one thing going on in Mobile though.
I just wanted to mention to you. This was a
story that was put out on the Lambyak newspaper's website,
Lambiakmobile dot com. They put this out a few hours ago.
The headline on the story Herman Thomas running for Mobile
(03:44):
City Council. Herman Thomas running for Mobile City Council. The story,
written by Brady Petree, says former Mobile County Circuit judge
Herman Thomas appears to be running for a seat on
the Mobile City cant Council. According to social media posts
made on his personal account. In a Facebook post dated
(04:07):
June five, Herman Thomas announced he would be seeking to
unseat the incumbent councilman, Corey Penn District one. On June tenth,
Thomas posted he had filed the paperwork necessary to be
listed on the ballot August twenty sixth in Mobile. In
his announcement, Thomas introduced a five point platform for his campaign.
(04:29):
The story goes on. It does mention that Herman Thomas
resigned from his judgeship in two thousand and seven, prior
to being indicted two years later on criminal charges related
to abuse of power. The charges stemmed from allegations that
he had blankial relations with prisoners, paddling them in his
(04:54):
chambers and having cases transferred from others judges dockets onto
his his docket. Now this went to trial, he was
dismissed in two thousand and nine. The jury was deadlocked,
and the story reports that Thomas was dismbarred in Alabama
(05:15):
and Florida after the trial. So the jury deadlocked, he
can't practice law even though he was a district judge.
He can't practice law in Alabama or Florida. Now, I
don't know, I don't know who is he is? He
(05:37):
is he betting on people not remembering all of this stuff.
Now do you remember if you were around back then,
do you remember just how wild this whole thing was,
with him paddling people allegedly it was. It was just
(05:57):
it was amazing all the details of that. You know,
if he does go forward with running for office, a
lot of this is going to get brought back up,
and I think a lot of people that weren't here
then will be titillated to read and hear about all
of the details of the things that he was accused
(06:19):
of doing and documented of doing. I think the Press
Register covered it quite a bit. Lan Yap and the
Press Register back then. There were all kinds of stories,
just so many stories of him going to the jail.
They were claiming he'd go to the jail as a
judge and just get a get an inmate out of
the jail and take him fishing and then take him
(06:42):
back to the jail, almost like checking a book out
of the library. And then there was the special chamber
in Government Plaza where the paddlings would take place. Now,
let's see, I've got I went into my audio archives.
Let's listen Here is a story from w k RG
(07:04):
from the day he was arrested for these charges. This
is getting you ready for Herman Thomas running for city council.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Hours after a grand jury indicted Herman Thomas on fifty
seven felony counts.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Fifty seven felony counts.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
The former judge stood beside his attorney, calling the DA's
investigation racist.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Ladies like Thomas said, it's a high tech lynch and
this is racism at its very finest.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
The attorney cowboy, Bob.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
We ought to be proud to be citizens of Mobile
County and proud that we elected him.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Thomas's attorney called a two o'clock press conference to discuss
the indictments, which he claimed he had still not been
notified about. But the press conference was cut short as
three investigators walked up and arrested the former judge.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Okay, how about you, let's look.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Oh, I guess what.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Thomas was escorted just a few feet to the booking
room at Mobile's Metro Jail, the same jail housing inmates
he's accused of forcing to perform sexual acts.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Are you going to arrest me or you're not taking
me anywhere, and his lawyer put on quite a show.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Let me stay on, say you're under rid under rist
thank you.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Just minutes later, at a press conference called by the
District Attorney, Thomas's attorney, Bob Clark, was also arrested for
not obeying an officer's order to leave, but Clark was
allowed to return just in time to hear the announcement
about his client's indictment.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
We have eight victims in each For each victim, there
is an array of charges.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
An array of charges. Now, one of the victims I
believe was the son of Vivian Davis Figures. I believe
she testified in the trial. Herman Thomas running for City Council.
Insanity Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven ten WNTM, It's
(09:16):
five point twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.
In the last segment of the show, I was sharing
with you the story from Lamyac about how former district
Judge Herman Thomas looks like he's running for Mobile City
Council despite his history of being disbarred and all that
(09:39):
kind of stuff. Being put on trial for allegedly paddling
jail inmates and seeking blankial activity with the inmates. Now,
it was something to I did enjoy listening to the
(10:00):
the old W Carrog news report I just played with
you for you of Herman the day that Herman Thomas
was arrested in front of the media, and his attorney,
Cowboy Bob Clark, was really he was really putting up,
putting on a show there as you heard, asking to
be arrested and then getting carted off, and then coming
(10:22):
back and then coming back and all this kind of stuff.
Real quick, here's one more Cowboy Bob quote from that
era that I had saved in the archives because it's
this is kind of an evergreen bit of audio that
you can use in a lot of cases.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Grand jury does what the district attorney's offered. You take
a ham sandwich j over and you can get it indicted.
That's not the issue. The issue is now can they
prove it?
Speaker 11 (10:49):
All?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Right? So, yeah, it was the trial, and I don't
remember all the details because it was back in two
thousand and nine, but I do remember that they had
to find a judge, so it was a former judge
going on trial. So no other judge locally wanted this,
(11:10):
you know, hear that case. They were all recused or
so they had to find some judge. I forget where
they found the judge, but I remember people telling me
that there were times that looked like the judge was
falling asleep in the trial. And also it had the
spectacle of a former judge. Is the defendant and one
(11:33):
of the witnesses for the prosecution was Vivius Davis Figures
because one of her sons was one of the people
that was allegedly paddled and went through all this stuff.
So now here we are in twenty twenty five with
the city council race and Herman Thomas allegedly running for council.
(11:58):
It would be interesting to ask Vivian Davis figures are
by gone? Would you endorse him now? After all these
years you did testify against him? Would you have you forgiven?
Do you forgive and forget? Would you would you endorse
him in this Vivian Davis Figures Now, also Chamari Figures
(12:23):
happens to be the congressman. One of them is a
congressman representing Mobile, one of the brother of one of
the victims allegedly, So maybe you could ask Congressman Shamari Figures,
uh uh ready to let bygones, be bygones and endorse
this guy anyway, gonna be that this will be quite
(12:48):
intriguing to follow the race between herm and Thomas and
Corey pen two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. The tel phone number that's two five one
four seventy nine two seventy two three. Email address Uncle
Henry atihearmedia dot com. Many things to get into here
on the Uncle Henry Show today.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Hello Color, Hey, your uncle is JD JD.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You are live on the radio.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
Man, I don't remember this whole Herman Thomas thing, but
he sounds like a real sleezebag. Question. Can I can
just anybody run for counsel?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well, you know, when you hear all that you've heard,
it looks that way, doesn't it. I don't know what.
I don't know what the rules are. I don't know
what would prevent you from running from council. I guess
I need to look into that.
Speaker 9 (13:43):
Well, you know, I have an idea. You know how
when they do the uh, the nappies, how they have
like what is it, two hundred different categories now that
you can go in and vote for you know what
the nappis ought to do is have a list of
people that they think might be good for counsel and
(14:04):
let people vote on it that way in the nappies
and then maybe take the winners of the nappies and
put them up to run for city council.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh well, I mean that you could, you could at
least show what people's preferences would be. But it would yeah,
it wouldn't where they're finding these people, Well, yeah, people
are coming up. Yeah. It is Uh, it is odd
it and I don't know what it says when people
people And we've had a couple of cases of this
(14:35):
where people locally who have been on trial and had
these big, big media trials that got a lot of
attention coming back a few years later thinking that they
can run for office that people will somehow forget.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
I was sitting next to a guy Judy's place a
couple of nights ago, and he had a Paul Prime
had on and I said, do you think Paul Prime's
going to win? And he said, oh, absolutely, after everything
that went down with the mayor and everything, Paul Prime's
gonna win for sure. And so I just think it's
gonna be an interesting, uh election coming up. And uh,
(15:11):
but this the I'll hope the whole thing about Herman Thomas.
I hope nobody votes for this guy. Hey, speaking of
this uh, speaking of something else, Actually, have you heard
about the mass protests that's gonna happen downtown tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Well? Absolutely, yeah, it's it's been all over the news.
Speaker 9 (15:26):
Yes, I just uh, I hope that it doesn't turn
into a circus like it is in these other cities. Huh.
I hope the mobile police Department gets control of these people.
If they're all paid, and you know, as you look
in Los Angeles and Dallas and the places that it's
going up, I mean, all these people are being paid
by somebody, you know, to get out there and cause
(15:48):
these problems. So you know, I really wish that people
would just calm down because it's not going to make
any difference. And so I just uh, I was thinking
about going downtown tomorrow and riding, maybe throwing some light
some of my skull spit bottles at some of these people,
but I think I'll just go to work instead.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
All right, Well that's a good plan. Thank you JD
for listening, Thank you for calling.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Have a good man you too.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I appreciate that. And as I've said, I don't you know,
anything can happen. It's these days, making a prediction is
very they're they're not worth much making predictions these days.
But it's hard to imagine it getting out of hand. Locally.
There have been other protests, as I said yesterday, against
(16:37):
the Trump administration immobiles since Donald Trump has taken office
for the second time, and none of them have gotten
out of hand. None of them have been violent in
any way. I would not expect any violence at all,
But then again, you never know. Some people, you've noticed this,
some people may not even have a dog in the
(16:59):
fight and might just want to get violent just for
the sake of it. So I don't know. I know
law enforcement will be watching very closely and hoping that
nothing gets out of hand, but I don't I don't
think it will, and I hope I'm right in that situation.
Let's see, gonna take a timeout for news headlines. News
(17:21):
headlines are coming up, and then there is more Uncle
Henry Show to come here on News Radio seven ten WNTM.

(18:53):
I've got some callers waiting. Before I get to the calls,
I have a very brief email that just came in
because I was playing that old report on from WKRG
about the day that Herman Thomas got arrested and we
heard the the we heard his attorney, Cowboy Bob Clark.
Cowboy Bob, I got an email about that. Subject line
(19:19):
on the email is Cowboy Bob Clark. Email reads Happy Friday, Henry.
No one could ever say Cowboy Bob lacked showmanship. He
always brought up the old legal theory that you can
indict a ham sandwich, a mobile icon, tighten up and
have a beautiful weekend. And that email from the common
(19:42):
man coming man, thank you for listening, thank you for
emailing the Uncle Henry show email address Uncle Henry at
iHeartMedia dot com. And yes, the quote from Cowboy Bob grand.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Jury does what the district attorney's offered. You take a
ham sandwich, jovin, you can get it indicted. That's not
the issue. The issue is now can they prove it?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Uh? And also, once upon a time there was a
da in this town, way back way back who on
an elevator told me that he says, I can I
could indict Santa Claus on Christmas Eve if I wanted to. Yes,
those are the things, yes, the things that lawyers say,
(20:25):
all right to the phones two five point one four
seventy nine two seven two three, Hello color.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Oh, I'm go Henry, Yes, sir as Dwayne Hey, Dwayne
and Reverence Hey. In reverence to what JD was saying
about these protests, I really admire that sheriff down there.
And uh, I'm I can't remember what county now in Florida,
but he gave the protesters a stern warning about throwing
(20:54):
something at his police officers or uh, you know, if
you throw a brick or point of gun at his
police officers, your family will be notified where to pick
up the remains. But I have a bad I've just
got a bad feeling. Even in Mobile. I know they've
(21:14):
been pretty good about keeping things under control, and our
police department usually does a good job about de escalating
certain situations with the younger generation. But you know, just
as soon as somebody shows up down there with a
Trump shirt or a Maga hat on, I feel like
(21:35):
half of these people, like Jad said, are being brought
in from other places, and I can see where violence
could erupt very quickly down there at Mobile tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I hope not. I hope not. I hope you're wrong.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I will do to her, I mean by all means,
but it seems like the people that are going to
planning to protest tomorrow are just looking for trouble they're
not going to get. They're just about all of Mobile County,
all right. I know the majority of it are Trump supporters,
(22:14):
and you know, I know, I can't think of too
many people voted for Biden in this last election. You know,
I just I feel like that they're just looking for
trouble and just trying to stir up trouble. And anyway,
that's about all I had to say about that. But
(22:34):
uncle Henry, you have a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And roll tide, Roll tide, and you have a good weekend.
Two and let's uh, let's all pray for peace, not
just in the miss mid East, but all over the world.
Two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
The telephone number, Hello, caller, roll Tide, Roll tied Roll.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
It's KP and calling about herm and Thomas.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
KP of Shirt Butter dot com. Oh, you call about
Herman Thomas. Do you have memories of Hermon Thomas.
Speaker 12 (23:05):
Yes, and you have a memory of Herman Thomas. And
I'm going to remind you of and see what you
think about it.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (23:10):
Do you remember, way back in two thousand and nine,
when my firstborn was a newborn born? You and I
talked behind the scenes and I realized that the website
domain Herman Thomas dot com is not registered.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Oh yes, I do remember this.
Speaker 12 (23:25):
I registered it. And listen, people, do not google this,
do not go near this considered it radioactive, but I
registered it and forwarded it to domain I think the
title black Stinkmaster dot com or something like that. Yes,
a very nasty site. And then you can got to
mention in the land yapp. And I've got a letter
from his campaign to the website hosting company, Yes, explain
(23:46):
why it was done and why they should relinquish the
domain and blah blah blah blah. And I've always kept
that letter as the trophy because it was hilarious trolling
on my part.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
It was, And I'm surprised you're revealing this publicly, revealing
that master trolling effort of yours.
Speaker 12 (24:03):
Well, hopefully the statue limitations was passed whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yes, But for for those for you the listener, if
you weren't following along what KP was talking about. After
the after the story was out and there were all
these people coming forward UH with these allegations of sexual
abuse and stuff. UH, KP went online and got the
domain Herman Thomas dot com and then if you entered
(24:31):
that in to a UH into your web browser, it
would take you it would redirect you to Blackspankmaster dot com,
which was not for young people. It was. In fact, Uh,
most people would not want to see what was on
that website.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
I know, I want to describe my with bleach after
seeing it, but I did what I had to do
to be an expert troll.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Well, it was quite the troll. And yeah, that letter.
I hope that you have preserved that letter because that
is a wonderful part of mobile history.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
I did.
Speaker 12 (25:07):
I have to go through the files and to get up. Hey,
I'm gonna let you go. I appreciate you have a
good one.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Hey, thank you, and thank you for reminding me of
that I had forgotten that I had forgotten that now. Also,
as a result of the Herman Thomas spanking trial, Neo
con Ron, a caller to the Uncle Henry Show who
did parody songs. He wrote at least three parody songs
(25:35):
that I can't my company will not let me play
these anymore because it's now against company rules for us
to play parody. I know that sounds bizarre in radio
not to play parody songs. I mean, we're to Al
Yankovic made a fortune with parody songs, but I'm not
allowed to play those songs anymore. But we had let's
(25:57):
see to the tune of Aerosmith back in the saddle again,
there was the song Spanked with the paddle again, and
then there was to the tune of I think it
was Roy Rogers or Gene Autry singing back in the
saddle again, that was spanked with the paddle again, and
(26:20):
then to the tune of zz Top doing thank You,
there was spank You. There was numerous parody songs about
these spanking incidents that were airing on the radio locally here.
So yes, it was again astonishing that he would think
(26:43):
he's going to run for city council and not have
all of this unpleasant stuff none of us. Hey, I'm
not sitting around thinking, man, I'd sure like to talk
about the spanking case today. Anyway, expect a lot more
of this, unfortunately, if he does decide to move forward
(27:06):
with running for city council, would have to go maybe
go find all those newspaper articles and maybe go over
some of those articles, go come forward with some of
the details, maybe look at some of the testimony in
the trial, because it was quite salacious and it would
get maybe even more attention now than it got then
(27:32):
in that people from out of town are going to
be amazed at the guys running for office. After all
of that stuff, there is more to come. More Uncle
Henry Show, to come after the break here on news
radio seven to ten WNTM. Uncle Henry Show, News Radio
(28:12):
seven to ten WNTM. It's five point fifty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes, and then more Uncle Henry Show.
I see before, I wrote, before I run out of time.
I got roll tided with a voicemail. Let me go
(28:35):
to this voicemail, briefly, wrote Ted wrote.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Speaking of roll tide, seventy eight days from today, kickoff
flick the Alabama Crimson tide in the Florida State Seminoles.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
There's what's seventy eight days from today is kickoff. It's
getting closer and closer. You can begin to feel it.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
It's in tide in the Florida State Seminoles in Tallahatchie, Florida,
at two thirty tem Central time. And speaking of today,
I noticed on the calendar it's the thirteenth of the
month of June twenty twenty five, and it just so
happens it's Friday. Have you any reservations on the Friday
(29:25):
the thirteenth? Stigma if that ever concerned you like you
get your opinion on that. Seems like I remember when
LeAnn Er was working with you. See she had things
about that superstitions or something I reckon. All right, have
a good one and once a game, Roll tide, Roll
(29:46):
Tide Rowlan.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Sixty eight year old Chris, thank you. No, I have no,
I'm not superstitious. I was not raised superstitious. I feel
like it is Friday the thirteenth is for the weak
minded in our society, the people that have mental issues,
a weakness of spirit that they would that they would
allow a day on a calendar to somehow plague their
(30:10):
mind like that. Now, I'm not superstitious, uh, and just
wasn't raised in that type of environment where you'd be
afraid of a day on a calendar, or walking under
a ladder, or a black cat crossing your path or
or whatever. All the other superstitions are for weak minded people. No,
(30:32):
but thank you for asking. Thank you for asking. Sixty
eight year old Chris of West Loxley. Now, yesterday, at
this time, I had a voicemail from a man that
was talking about watching me TV and he saw an
episode of Dragnet where the lapd had a they were
investigating people robbing candy stores. Now Buford Bufford called in
(31:01):
because Viewfford knows a little bit about old He's talked
to people that have been involved in law enforcement in
years past.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
Hen There's here's different, Henry, Uh listening to the fella
talking about the dragnet episude on the me TV. Henry Man,
I tell you what if you ever if you ever
talked to an old school police man. I mean many
of them a left around, those that poll leased in
the sixties, seventies and even eighties. There used to be
(31:34):
like candy shot capers and such those things. You know,
criminals would have a flavor of what they like to rob.
You'd have one that liked to rob cigarette machines, and
then you have another one that loves to regularize coke machines,
and other ones would like to rob pool hauls or
(31:54):
candy shots. But anyway, Henry fairly enjoyed that horsemail. But Henry,
I was wondering, I can I am unable to get
the me TV, Henry, where I live a regular inten
I will work. Is there listener out there in the
(32:15):
radio land that knows some other way to where I
can get the me TV on my TV. I got
one in there rod two television sets. There's an app
or a device I can buy. But now I have
been wanted to have the me TV in my home
for years and just been unsuccessful in getting it done. Anyway, Henry,
(32:38):
you have a.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Good day, Befford. Thank you for your voicemail. Voicemail number
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. I
believe me TV has an app. Look it up. I mean,
if you if you've got a smart TV, see if
there's a MeTV app, and I think you get that.
I think you can watch me TV on the app
(32:59):
on your fund or if you have a smart tablet
or something like that. I think now I've never done
it myself because I've been blessed enough that the places
I've lived my intenna would pick up me TV. But
check it out, Beauford, look and see if there's a
me TV app. I believe there is a me TV app.
(33:22):
I don't know if it goes to the smart It
seems like it would be smart of me TV to
have an app that you could get on your smart TV.
So look it up. And then you have all those
old shows that aren't as nasty and aren't as filthy.
You know, Beauford, You're raising kids in our modern society.
(33:44):
They'd be better off watching whatever whatever stuff is on
me TV. Then they would really anything else. Unfortunately, everything
everything out there has some filth in it. All right,
there's more to get to Uncle Henry's show coming up
(34:08):
after the news break. This says the Uncle Henry Show
(34:40):
here on News Radio sevent ten WNTM. Thank you for listening.
Thank you for spending some of your Friday here with
me on the Uncle Henry Show. Now, in this half
hour of show, going to get to a few news
items that I'm curious about. And also earlier today, I
was looking through my audio archives for something and I
(35:04):
found a few things I forgot I had that if
I have time, I want to share with you some
stuff from way back that I have collected in my
audio archives from previous Uncle Henry shows years ago. First,
I want to start with a story, this one. Let's
listen to it together. All I know is this is
(35:24):
about Christianity allegedly losing influence globally. This is a story
reported by w AAF that is a stepsister station of
Fox ten located up in Huntsville, Alabama. Let's listen together
(35:46):
as we're being told that allegedly Christianity losing influence globally
better Church.
Speaker 14 (35:54):
A new study by Pew Research Center shows Christianity continues
to grow, but growing faster is Islam and people who
aren't religious at all. Way for forty eights, NOA Cow
spoke to local experts about this shift in religion.
Speaker 15 (36:10):
Recent Pew Research studies indicate Christianity has been losing influence
globally and right here in Alabama, but some local experts
believe these trends are somewhat misleading and they're hopeful they
won't last. Pew Research Center released a study three days ago.
So in Christianity grew from twenty ten to twenty twenty,
but not as much as Islam or the people with
(36:31):
no religious affiliation.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I'm sorry to interrupt people with no religious affiliation. Now
this is personal opinion time. Now, of course you will,
I'm sure you'll disagree with me. But just looking across
the country, the United States of America, and how over
the past twenty years especially, it seems like we have
an epidemic of mental illness in the country. I think
(36:56):
a lot of that corresponds to people not having a
belief system personal opinion. The more people turn away from
the LOWERD, the worse the mental health is in the country,
and they just well, you see it all around you.
There's examples every day of the world going to hale
all right back to the news story.
Speaker 15 (37:18):
As much as Islam or the people with no religious affiliation.
It aligns with other Pew Research data showing the steady
decline of Christianity in the US. The percentage of Christian
adults in Alabama decreased by thirteen percent over ten years.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
And think about that. How about that is a stat
over ten years, thirteen percent less Christians in Alabama.
Speaker 15 (37:40):
Now, as of twenty twenty two, only sixty three percent
of Americans were Christian, compared to ninety percent thirty years before.
Lyell Lead, the president of Huntsville Bible College, says these
trends could be due to attendance declines at churches during
the pandemic, as well as religious views being associated with
politics and a cultural shift over the past few decades.
Speaker 16 (38:00):
Identifying compared to actually being a believer, those two totally
different things. I think people are more honest now, and
I think they're open to say I don't have to
identify as a Christian just because my mom was a Christian.
Where back in the day people identify as a Christian
because that's what our househill identified. Even though I've never
been to church, I may say I'm a Christian.
Speaker 15 (38:20):
Lee doesn't think this data truly represents the trends we're
seeing in our everyday lives, and neither does Dale Cohen,
a pastor with Florence's United Methodist Church. He says many
parents stop going to church after becoming empty nesters, but
he's noticed a recent rise in younger generations.
Speaker 11 (38:35):
We've had an influx of younger families, and part of
I think the reason for that is we've tried to adapt.
We have a family worship service that is shorter. It's
thirty minutes, parents and their children are able to sit
in worship together. We're just going to have to adapt
our ways to be available, not just in person, but
(38:58):
online where peopleeople are gathering.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Huh, all right, well, I don't know that that is
well two eaches zone, I suppose, but maybe you're having
more people show up. More young people are showing up
for your services, not because your services are shorter or something.
Maybe they're showing up because they realize they have an
(39:23):
emptiness in their lives and that nothing else will work,
nothing else will fill that emptiness other than the Lord.
Maybe that's why they're showing up. Kind of weird to
hear people in churches like this guy that was just
interviewed talking the way he did. Think of that, Well,
maybe if the service is shorter and we put it online,
(39:44):
maybe them.
Speaker 11 (39:46):
Now we're just going to have to adapt our ways
to be available, not just in person, but online where
people are gathering.
Speaker 15 (39:57):
Lee suggests that future religious studies should include core that
show the beliefs of the person aligned with the religion
to prevent people who aren't actually religious from skewing these trends.
Reporting in Huntsville Noah Cowell forty eight News on.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Your Side, all right, so they what the questions changed.
When they're asking the questions, they want the questions to
be different. So maybe you will. People will give an
answer they like, all right, well you heard the stance there,
the stants about I don't know. At one point, ninety
(40:31):
percent in the country identified as Christian, and then decades
later it's down to sixty percent. Any coincidence, that it
seems that the world has gone nuts, any any coincidence,
and that it looks more insane than ever before out
there in our country. Now, you of course will disagree
(40:56):
with me on this, but I think it has a
direct correlation that the the less Christianity we have, the
worse off it gets in public life. That's just a Again,
that's a personal opinion of mine. All right, Let's see
what other news item can I get to here before
we go into our break. Real quick. Here, I've got
a story from Fox ten that just reminds me of
(41:18):
my childhood. It is about jellyfish. Yes, the Baldwin beaches
are seeing jellyfishes. Here is how Shirk of Fox ten,
talking about the jellyfish.
Speaker 17 (41:32):
Beach safety offish, will say, we're really just getting into
jellyfish season. You'll see more and more of these purple
flags as you get to the beach. Yes, and there
are some steps you can take to prevent getting stung
and treat yourself.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
If you do.
Speaker 18 (41:47):
Visitors to Cotton Buyu Public Beach Thursday were greeted with
mild surf conditions, but along with the yellow flag of
purple warning of jellyfish in the surf. While this day
didn't see many encounters, reported them in much higher numbers
over the last few days, with several saying they've been stung.
They can definitely put a damper on the day if
(42:08):
not treated. Beach safety officials say there are some things
you can do out on the beach to ease the sting.
Speaker 19 (42:15):
The first thing you need to do is just remove
the stingers, and you can do that by getting a
credit card and scraping it against the grain. Or you
can get some warm, dry sand, which is plentiful out here,
and you can scrub it on there as well. And
if things you want to avoid is cold fresh water,
it's better to use the salt water with sand mixed in,
but dry sanded obviously ideal.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Lots of memories from my childhood right there, the family
would go down to the guff, would get into the water,
get stung, deal with it, and wrench and repeat. Just
memories of childhood getting stung by the jellyfish. All right, Look,
gonna take a quick time out and then I'm gonna
(42:54):
go into the on Clenberg Show archives. I've got some
some items I forgot I had that i want to
hear again. After all these years. So that's coming up
after the traffic and weather break here on news radio
seventy ten WNTM. Let us now go ahead and take
the break, it says the Uncle Henry Show here on
(43:25):
news radio seventy ten WNTM. News headlines coming up in
ten minutes now. I mentioned that I was going through
my audio archives today and I found some things that
I forgot I had, and I'd like to listen if
you don't mind, and I'll share these with you. The
first thing I want to share is for Alabama fans
(43:49):
like me, roll Tide role. I met a guy named
Nathan I believe his name is Nathan Davis. I think
this was at the opening of a new grocery store
or something like that. Anyway, this guy covered in Alabama tattoos.
Let's listen together. This is from twenty fourteen. This is
(44:09):
from what eleven years ago. Here is Nathan Davis talking
about his Alabama tats.
Speaker 6 (44:18):
All right, please, and your name is what it's Nathan Davis.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Nathan Davis. Is that your real name?
Speaker 6 (44:24):
Yes, sir, it is all right.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Describe to me your tattoos.
Speaker 20 (44:28):
I'm known as the Alabama super fan because of all
my tattoos devoted to the University of Alabama's football team.
My back is an entire portrait of Bear Bryant.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
His back an entire portrait of the Bear.
Speaker 20 (44:41):
I have Bear Bryant and Joe Namath on my chest.
I have Bear Bryan on my left arm. I have
prayers that he used to say to the football team
down my arm. On the right side, I have Kenny
Stabler and prayers he used to say. Have Rammer Jammer
roll tied, yellowhammer, distant birds of our states, the tom
the chimes eighteen thirty one. It's all covered my entire
(45:03):
upper body, all.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Right now, the wife Julie, Is that right?
Speaker 15 (45:06):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Is he accurate in his description?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
Is absolutely?
Speaker 2 (45:10):
I can verify. So did he have all these when
you met him?
Speaker 6 (45:14):
Oh? He did?
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Oh he got more after I met him. So, so
did this at all enter into Did it? Did it
make you more cautious about him?
Speaker 12 (45:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (45:26):
It was a turn on?
Speaker 11 (45:27):
What?
Speaker 8 (45:28):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (45:30):
I know it did it for me?
Speaker 4 (45:33):
What can I say?
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Well, Nathan, I have to admit that this sounds like
the best use of tattooing that I've ever heard.
Speaker 20 (45:40):
It certainly is I think if you put a tattoo
on your body, it should be of somebody that you
idolize for life. And when I go to football games,
I wear a kilt because I'm an Irishman and that's
how everybody gets to see all my tattoos. And I
do face paint, so my face is basically the colors
of the school or of a death mask, you know,
for intimidation purposes, especially with Lsu and Auburn.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
With all the tattoos. Were the Sholy years difficult for you?
Speaker 6 (46:08):
Very difficult.
Speaker 20 (46:09):
I almost knew that we were going to lose every
time we played Alburn because he had no tatiscular fortitude,
if you will.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
There was a lot of Jumbo package.
Speaker 6 (46:17):
Yes, Joma package was no game.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Okay, Now did you mention Saban at all when it
came to tattoos?
Speaker 20 (46:23):
No, I see, Saban was never my hero grown up
as a child. So I respect the man. I really
admire him. I love his style of football, but he
was not my hero grown up as a child, and
Beer Bryant was my hero as a child.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Could Saban ever earn a spot on your body?
Speaker 4 (46:41):
No?
Speaker 6 (46:41):
I'm done with tattoos. You know.
Speaker 20 (46:43):
He has my respect, he has my love. And loyalty,
but no more tattoos on my body for football coaches?
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Have you persuaded your wife Julie to also get Alabama tattoos?
Speaker 20 (46:54):
You know, I've been trying to ask her, you know,
when she's comfortable to get one, if she is great,
If not, hey, but I told her to put on
a spot that will always get her on national TV.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
Julie, are you ever going to consider it?
Speaker 1 (47:07):
You know?
Speaker 17 (47:07):
I told him he's got enough tattoos for the both
of us.
Speaker 15 (47:10):
So I'm good for now.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
I'm good with the body Y'd gave me. I love that.
That's elegant. I'm good. I'm good. He's got a coupboard. Well, Nathan,
thank you for stopping in.
Speaker 20 (47:20):
Thank you, and God bless you truly are the inspiration
when we drive over through the nasty traffick and mobile.
Speaker 6 (47:26):
We love listening to you. God bless you, my friend.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
God bless you. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (47:30):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
All right. Last time I played that on the radio
was in July of twenty fourteen, Nathan. If you're still
out there, Nathan Davis, God bless you, and you enjoyed
some great football since then. Right, A real quick here's
something from twenty ten. This is a report from twenty
ten that always makes me laugh. This is a report
(47:54):
on NBC fifteen where they got a Mobile County commissioner
to cut his nose hair on television. Here we go, Yes,
this is a county commissioner cutting his nose hair on television.
Speaker 10 (48:11):
Personal Hair Remover promises to erase on wanted hair instantly
and painlessly. But does it really work as the commercials claim?
Local fifteens and Lindsay Bramson puts it to the test
and tonight's buy it and try it.
Speaker 21 (48:27):
It claims to remove hair instantly and pain free, good
for your chin, ears, even sideburns, and that's exactly what
Mobile County Commissioner Mike Dean wants to try it on.
Speaker 22 (48:39):
Hopefully it's going to work out in some of the
places that I want to touch up.
Speaker 21 (48:43):
Running from meeting to meeting, Dean doesn't always get a
chance to shave, you.
Speaker 22 (48:47):
Know, being in the public eye, people look and judge you.
And with this high definition TV now you need to
make sure you up you.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
Look your best.
Speaker 21 (48:55):
Claiming to be powerful enough to remove even the thickest
hair anywhere. We decided to buy it and try it.
Speaker 14 (49:02):
Embarrassing nose hair gone like that unsightly ear hair. Watch
it disappear.
Speaker 22 (49:08):
Well, you know, naturally where you get hair gets to
grow in just about everywhere, mainly around the ears, you know,
and you know the eyebrows and back of the neck.
Speaker 21 (49:18):
Now it's time to start trimming.
Speaker 22 (49:20):
I'm gonna do the nose, Okay, yeah, trim that up, next.
Speaker 21 (49:25):
Up the ears. You feel the hair coming.
Speaker 22 (49:27):
Off, yeah, I can feel it and see it.
Speaker 4 (49:31):
It works pretty good.
Speaker 21 (49:32):
Finishing touch even comes with a light if.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
You want to touch up. This is the best thing.
You can get.
Speaker 22 (49:38):
It on the go and has a battery and you
can travel with you to the beach and for nine.
Speaker 21 (49:43):
To ninety nine you can have your own personal hair
remover so gentle and painless it doesn't even pop a balloon.
Remember if there's a product you'd.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
Like to see, fine, you know I like being on
TV too, but not enough to cut my nose hair
on television. All right, out of time, Thank you for

So many things to get into on today's show with
all just all the stuff going on with Israel versus Iran,
(03:20):
and you got the big protests planned for tomorrow across
the country. Uh, there's one thing going on in Mobile though.
I just wanted to mention to you. This was a
story that was put out on the Lambyak newspaper's website,
Lambiakmobile dot com. They put this out a few hours ago.
The headline on the story Herman Thomas running for Mobile
(03:44):
City Council. Herman Thomas running for Mobile City Council. The story,
written by Brady Petree, says former Mobile County Circuit judge
Herman Thomas appears to be running for a seat on
the Mobile City cant Council. According to social media posts
made on his personal account. In a Facebook post dated
(04:07):
June five, Herman Thomas announced he would be seeking to
unseat the incumbent councilman, Corey Penn District one. On June tenth,
Thomas posted he had filed the paperwork necessary to be
listed on the ballot August twenty sixth in Mobile. In
his announcement, Thomas introduced a five point platform for his campaign.
(04:29):
The story goes on. It does mention that Herman Thomas
resigned from his judgeship in two thousand and seven, prior
to being indicted two years later on criminal charges related
to abuse of power. The charges stemmed from allegations that
he had blankial relations with prisoners, paddling them in his
(04:54):
chambers and having cases transferred from others judges dockets onto
his his docket. Now this went to trial, he was
dismissed in two thousand and nine. The jury was deadlocked,
and the story reports that Thomas was dismbarred in Alabama
(05:15):
and Florida after the trial. So the jury deadlocked, he
can't practice law even though he was a district judge.
He can't practice law in Alabama or Florida. Now, I
don't know, I don't know who is he is? He
(05:37):
is he betting on people not remembering all of this stuff.
Now do you remember if you were around back then,
do you remember just how wild this whole thing was,
with him paddling people allegedly it was. It was just
(05:57):
it was amazing all the details of that. You know,
if he does go forward with running for office, a
lot of this is going to get brought back up,
and I think a lot of people that weren't here
then will be titillated to read and hear about all
of the details of the things that he was accused
(06:19):
of doing and documented of doing. I think the Press
Register covered it quite a bit. Lan Yap and the
Press Register back then. There were all kinds of stories,
just so many stories of him going to the jail.
They were claiming he'd go to the jail as a
judge and just get a get an inmate out of
the jail and take him fishing and then take him
(06:42):
back to the jail, almost like checking a book out
of the library. And then there was the special chamber
in Government Plaza where the paddlings would take place. Now,
let's see, I've got I went into my audio archives.
Let's listen Here is a story from w k RG
(07:04):
from the day he was arrested for these charges. This
is getting you ready for Herman Thomas running for city council.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Hours after a grand jury indicted Herman Thomas on fifty
seven felony counts.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Fifty seven felony counts.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
The former judge stood beside his attorney, calling the DA's
investigation racist.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Ladies like Thomas said, it's a high tech lynch and
this is racism at its very finest.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
The attorney cowboy, Bob.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
We ought to be proud to be citizens of Mobile
County and proud that we elected him.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Thomas's attorney called a two o'clock press conference to discuss
the indictments, which he claimed he had still not been
notified about. But the press conference was cut short as
three investigators walked up and arrested the former judge.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Okay, how about you, let's look.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Oh, I guess what.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Thomas was escorted just a few feet to the booking
room at Mobile's Metro Jail, the same jail housing inmates
he's accused of forcing to perform sexual acts.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Are you going to arrest me or you're not taking
me anywhere, and his lawyer put on quite a show.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Let me stay on, say you're under rid under rist
thank you.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Just minutes later, at a press conference called by the
District Attorney, Thomas's attorney, Bob Clark, was also arrested for
not obeying an officer's order to leave, but Clark was
allowed to return just in time to hear the announcement
about his client's indictment.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
We have eight victims in each For each victim, there
is an array of charges.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
An array of charges. Now, one of the victims I
believe was the son of Vivian Davis Figures. I believe
she testified in the trial. Herman Thomas running for City Council.
Insanity Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven ten WNTM, It's
(09:16):
five point twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.
In the last segment of the show, I was sharing
with you the story from Lamyac about how former district
Judge Herman Thomas looks like he's running for Mobile City
Council despite his history of being disbarred and all that
(09:39):
kind of stuff. Being put on trial for allegedly paddling
jail inmates and seeking blankial activity with the inmates. Now,
it was something to I did enjoy listening to the
(10:00):
the old W Carrog news report I just played with
you for you of Herman the day that Herman Thomas
was arrested in front of the media, and his attorney,
Cowboy Bob Clark, was really he was really putting up,
putting on a show there as you heard, asking to
be arrested and then getting carted off, and then coming
(10:22):
back and then coming back and all this kind of stuff.
Real quick, here's one more Cowboy Bob quote from that
era that I had saved in the archives because it's
this is kind of an evergreen bit of audio that
you can use in a lot of cases.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Grand jury does what the district attorney's offered. You take
a ham sandwich j over and you can get it indicted.
That's not the issue. The issue is now can they
prove it?
Speaker 11 (10:49):
All?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Right? So, yeah, it was the trial, and I don't
remember all the details because it was back in two
thousand and nine, but I do remember that they had
to find a judge, so it was a former judge
going on trial. So no other judge locally wanted this,
(11:10):
you know, hear that case. They were all recused or
so they had to find some judge. I forget where
they found the judge, but I remember people telling me
that there were times that looked like the judge was
falling asleep in the trial. And also it had the
spectacle of a former judge. Is the defendant and one
(11:33):
of the witnesses for the prosecution was Vivius Davis Figures
because one of her sons was one of the people
that was allegedly paddled and went through all this stuff.
So now here we are in twenty twenty five with
the city council race and Herman Thomas allegedly running for council.
(11:58):
It would be interesting to ask Vivian Davis figures are
by gone? Would you endorse him now? After all these
years you did testify against him? Would you have you forgiven?
Do you forgive and forget? Would you would you endorse
him in this Vivian Davis Figures Now, also Chamari Figures
(12:23):
happens to be the congressman. One of them is a
congressman representing Mobile, one of the brother of one of
the victims allegedly, So maybe you could ask Congressman Shamari Figures,
uh uh ready to let bygones, be bygones and endorse
this guy anyway, gonna be that this will be quite
(12:48):
intriguing to follow the race between herm and Thomas and
Corey pen two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. The tel phone number that's two five one
four seventy nine two seventy two three. Email address Uncle
Henry atihearmedia dot com. Many things to get into here
on the Uncle Henry Show today.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Hello Color, Hey, your uncle is JD JD.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You are live on the radio.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
Man, I don't remember this whole Herman Thomas thing, but
he sounds like a real sleezebag. Question. Can I can
just anybody run for counsel?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well, you know, when you hear all that you've heard,
it looks that way, doesn't it. I don't know what.
I don't know what the rules are. I don't know
what would prevent you from running from council. I guess
I need to look into that.
Speaker 9 (13:43):
Well, you know, I have an idea. You know how
when they do the uh, the nappies, how they have
like what is it, two hundred different categories now that
you can go in and vote for you know what
the nappis ought to do is have a list of
people that they think might be good for counsel and
(14:04):
let people vote on it that way in the nappies
and then maybe take the winners of the nappies and
put them up to run for city council.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh well, I mean that you could, you could at
least show what people's preferences would be. But it would yeah,
it wouldn't where they're finding these people, Well, yeah, people
are coming up. Yeah. It is Uh, it is odd
it and I don't know what it says when people
people And we've had a couple of cases of this
(14:35):
where people locally who have been on trial and had
these big, big media trials that got a lot of
attention coming back a few years later thinking that they
can run for office that people will somehow forget.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
I was sitting next to a guy Judy's place a
couple of nights ago, and he had a Paul Prime
had on and I said, do you think Paul Prime's
going to win? And he said, oh, absolutely, after everything
that went down with the mayor and everything, Paul Prime's
gonna win for sure. And so I just think it's
gonna be an interesting, uh election coming up. And uh,
(15:11):
but this the I'll hope the whole thing about Herman Thomas.
I hope nobody votes for this guy. Hey, speaking of
this uh, speaking of something else, Actually, have you heard
about the mass protests that's gonna happen downtown tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Well? Absolutely, yeah, it's it's been all over the news.
Speaker 9 (15:26):
Yes, I just uh, I hope that it doesn't turn
into a circus like it is in these other cities. Huh.
I hope the mobile police Department gets control of these people.
If they're all paid, and you know, as you look
in Los Angeles and Dallas and the places that it's
going up, I mean, all these people are being paid
by somebody, you know, to get out there and cause
(15:48):
these problems. So you know, I really wish that people
would just calm down because it's not going to make
any difference. And so I just uh, I was thinking
about going downtown tomorrow and riding, maybe throwing some light
some of my skull spit bottles at some of these people,
but I think I'll just go to work instead.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
All right, Well that's a good plan. Thank you JD
for listening, Thank you for calling.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Have a good man you too.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I appreciate that. And as I've said, I don't you know,
anything can happen. It's these days, making a prediction is
very they're they're not worth much making predictions these days.
But it's hard to imagine it getting out of hand. Locally.
There have been other protests, as I said yesterday, against
(16:37):
the Trump administration immobiles since Donald Trump has taken office
for the second time, and none of them have gotten
out of hand. None of them have been violent in
any way. I would not expect any violence at all,
But then again, you never know. Some people, you've noticed this,
some people may not even have a dog in the
(16:59):
fight and might just want to get violent just for
the sake of it. So I don't know. I know
law enforcement will be watching very closely and hoping that
nothing gets out of hand, but I don't I don't
think it will, and I hope I'm right in that situation.
Let's see, gonna take a timeout for news headlines. News
(17:21):
headlines are coming up, and then there is more Uncle
Henry Show to come here on News Radio seven ten WNTM.
A reminder if you want to listen back to some
previous shows. The last year or so of shows available
as podcasts on the iHeartRadio app and at NewsRadio seven
(17:45):
ten dot com. If you're on the app, just look
for Uncle Henry Show and you'll find the Uncle Henry
Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
This is NewsRadio seven ten WNTM.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Uncle Henry's Show, news Radio seventy ten WNTM. It is
five thirty five. Thank you for listening to the Uncle
Henry Show. You can also listen to me Monday through
(18:32):
Friday on ninety five KSJ FM Radio where we play
today's honest country. Next week more chances to win tickets
to see Thomas Rhett at the Wharf June twenty eighth.
Find out more about that at ninety five KSJ dot com. Now,
(18:53):
I've got some callers waiting. Before I get to the calls,
I have a very brief email that just came in
because I was playing that old report on from WKRG
about the day that Herman Thomas got arrested and we
heard the the we heard his attorney, Cowboy Bob Clark.
Cowboy Bob, I got an email about that. Subject line
(19:19):
on the email is Cowboy Bob Clark. Email reads Happy Friday, Henry.
No one could ever say Cowboy Bob lacked showmanship. He
always brought up the old legal theory that you can
indict a ham sandwich, a mobile icon, tighten up and
have a beautiful weekend. And that email from the common
(19:42):
man coming man, thank you for listening, thank you for
emailing the Uncle Henry show email address Uncle Henry at
iHeartMedia dot com. And yes, the quote from Cowboy Bob grand.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Jury does what the district attorney's offered. You take a
ham sandwich, jovin, you can get it indicted. That's not
the issue. The issue is now can they prove it?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Uh? And also, once upon a time there was a
da in this town, way back way back who on
an elevator told me that he says, I can I
could indict Santa Claus on Christmas Eve if I wanted to. Yes,
those are the things, yes, the things that lawyers say,
(20:25):
all right to the phones two five point one four
seventy nine two seven two three, Hello color.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Oh, I'm go Henry, Yes, sir as Dwayne Hey, Dwayne
and Reverence Hey. In reverence to what JD was saying
about these protests, I really admire that sheriff down there.
And uh, I'm I can't remember what county now in Florida,
but he gave the protesters a stern warning about throwing
(20:54):
something at his police officers or uh, you know, if
you throw a brick or point of gun at his
police officers, your family will be notified where to pick
up the remains. But I have a bad I've just
got a bad feeling. Even in Mobile. I know they've
(21:14):
been pretty good about keeping things under control, and our
police department usually does a good job about de escalating
certain situations with the younger generation. But you know, just
as soon as somebody shows up down there with a
Trump shirt or a Maga hat on, I feel like
(21:35):
half of these people, like Jad said, are being brought
in from other places, and I can see where violence
could erupt very quickly down there at Mobile tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I hope not. I hope not. I hope you're wrong.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I will do to her, I mean by all means,
but it seems like the people that are going to
planning to protest tomorrow are just looking for trouble they're
not going to get. They're just about all of Mobile County,
all right. I know the majority of it are Trump supporters,
(22:14):
and you know, I know, I can't think of too
many people voted for Biden in this last election. You know,
I just I feel like that they're just looking for
trouble and just trying to stir up trouble. And anyway,
that's about all I had to say about that. But
(22:34):
uncle Henry, you have a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And roll tide, Roll tide, and you have a good weekend.
Two and let's uh, let's all pray for peace, not
just in the miss mid East, but all over the world.
Two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
The telephone number, Hello, caller, roll Tide, Roll tied Roll.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
It's KP and calling about herm and Thomas.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
KP of Shirt Butter dot com. Oh, you call about
Herman Thomas. Do you have memories of Hermon Thomas.
Speaker 12 (23:05):
Yes, and you have a memory of Herman Thomas. And
I'm going to remind you of and see what you
think about it.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (23:10):
Do you remember, way back in two thousand and nine,
when my firstborn was a newborn born? You and I
talked behind the scenes and I realized that the website
domain Herman Thomas dot com is not registered.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Oh yes, I do remember this.
Speaker 12 (23:25):
I registered it. And listen, people, do not google this,
do not go near this considered it radioactive, but I
registered it and forwarded it to domain I think the
title black Stinkmaster dot com or something like that. Yes,
a very nasty site. And then you can got to
mention in the land yapp. And I've got a letter
from his campaign to the website hosting company, Yes, explain
(23:46):
why it was done and why they should relinquish the
domain and blah blah blah blah. And I've always kept
that letter as the trophy because it was hilarious trolling
on my part.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
It was, And I'm surprised you're revealing this publicly, revealing
that master trolling effort of yours.
Speaker 12 (24:03):
Well, hopefully the statue limitations was passed whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yes, But for for those for you the listener, if
you weren't following along what KP was talking about. After
the after the story was out and there were all
these people coming forward UH with these allegations of sexual
abuse and stuff. UH, KP went online and got the
domain Herman Thomas dot com and then if you entered
(24:31):
that in to a UH into your web browser, it
would take you it would redirect you to Blackspankmaster dot com,
which was not for young people. It was. In fact, Uh,
most people would not want to see what was on
that website.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
I know, I want to describe my with bleach after
seeing it, but I did what I had to do
to be an expert troll.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Well, it was quite the troll. And yeah, that letter.
I hope that you have preserved that letter because that
is a wonderful part of mobile history.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
I did.
Speaker 12 (25:07):
I have to go through the files and to get up. Hey,
I'm gonna let you go. I appreciate you have a
good one.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Hey, thank you, and thank you for reminding me of
that I had forgotten that I had forgotten that now. Also,
as a result of the Herman Thomas spanking trial, Neo
con Ron, a caller to the Uncle Henry Show who
did parody songs. He wrote at least three parody songs
(25:35):
that I can't my company will not let me play
these anymore because it's now against company rules for us
to play parody. I know that sounds bizarre in radio
not to play parody songs. I mean, we're to Al
Yankovic made a fortune with parody songs, but I'm not
allowed to play those songs anymore. But we had let's
(25:57):
see to the tune of Aerosmith back in the saddle again,
there was the song Spanked with the paddle again, and
then there was to the tune of I think it
was Roy Rogers or Gene Autry singing back in the
saddle again, that was spanked with the paddle again, and
(26:20):
then to the tune of zz Top doing thank You,
there was spank You. There was numerous parody songs about
these spanking incidents that were airing on the radio locally here.
So yes, it was again astonishing that he would think
(26:43):
he's going to run for city council and not have
all of this unpleasant stuff none of us. Hey, I'm
not sitting around thinking, man, I'd sure like to talk
about the spanking case today. Anyway, expect a lot more
of this, unfortunately, if he does decide to move forward
(27:06):
with running for city council, would have to go maybe
go find all those newspaper articles and maybe go over
some of those articles, go come forward with some of
the details, maybe look at some of the testimony in
the trial, because it was quite salacious and it would
get maybe even more attention now than it got then
(27:32):
in that people from out of town are going to
be amazed at the guys running for office. After all
of that stuff, there is more to come. More Uncle
Henry Show, to come after the break here on news
radio seven to ten WNTM. Uncle Henry Show, News Radio
(28:12):
seven to ten WNTM. It's five point fifty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes, and then more Uncle Henry Show.
I see before, I wrote, before I run out of time.
I got roll tided with a voicemail. Let me go
(28:35):
to this voicemail, briefly, wrote Ted wrote.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Speaking of roll tide, seventy eight days from today, kickoff
flick the Alabama Crimson tide in the Florida State Seminoles.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
There's what's seventy eight days from today is kickoff. It's
getting closer and closer. You can begin to feel it.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
It's in tide in the Florida State Seminoles in Tallahatchie, Florida,
at two thirty tem Central time. And speaking of today,
I noticed on the calendar it's the thirteenth of the
month of June twenty twenty five, and it just so
happens it's Friday. Have you any reservations on the Friday
(29:25):
the thirteenth? Stigma if that ever concerned you like you
get your opinion on that. Seems like I remember when
LeAnn Er was working with you. See she had things
about that superstitions or something I reckon. All right, have
a good one and once a game, Roll tide, Roll
(29:46):
Tide Rowlan.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Sixty eight year old Chris, thank you. No, I have no,
I'm not superstitious. I was not raised superstitious. I feel
like it is Friday the thirteenth is for the weak
minded in our society, the people that have mental issues,
a weakness of spirit that they would that they would
allow a day on a calendar to somehow plague their
(30:10):
mind like that. Now, I'm not superstitious, uh, and just
wasn't raised in that type of environment where you'd be
afraid of a day on a calendar, or walking under
a ladder, or a black cat crossing your path or
or whatever. All the other superstitions are for weak minded people. No,
(30:32):
but thank you for asking. Thank you for asking. Sixty
eight year old Chris of West Loxley. Now, yesterday, at
this time, I had a voicemail from a man that
was talking about watching me TV and he saw an
episode of Dragnet where the lapd had a they were
investigating people robbing candy stores. Now Buford Bufford called in
(31:01):
because Viewfford knows a little bit about old He's talked
to people that have been involved in law enforcement in
years past.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
Hen There's here's different, Henry, Uh listening to the fella
talking about the dragnet episude on the me TV. Henry Man,
I tell you what if you ever if you ever
talked to an old school police man. I mean many
of them a left around, those that poll leased in
the sixties, seventies and even eighties. There used to be
(31:34):
like candy shot capers and such those things. You know,
criminals would have a flavor of what they like to rob.
You'd have one that liked to rob cigarette machines, and
then you have another one that loves to regularize coke machines,
and other ones would like to rob pool hauls or
(31:54):
candy shots. But anyway, Henry fairly enjoyed that horsemail. But Henry,
I was wondering, I can I am unable to get
the me TV, Henry, where I live a regular inten
I will work. Is there listener out there in the
(32:15):
radio land that knows some other way to where I
can get the me TV on my TV. I got
one in there rod two television sets. There's an app
or a device I can buy. But now I have
been wanted to have the me TV in my home
for years and just been unsuccessful in getting it done. Anyway, Henry,
(32:38):
you have a.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Good day, Befford. Thank you for your voicemail. Voicemail number
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. I
believe me TV has an app. Look it up. I mean,
if you if you've got a smart TV, see if
there's a MeTV app, and I think you get that.
I think you can watch me TV on the app
(32:59):
on your fund or if you have a smart tablet
or something like that. I think now I've never done
it myself because I've been blessed enough that the places
I've lived my intenna would pick up me TV. But
check it out, Beauford, look and see if there's a
me TV app. I believe there is a me TV app.
(33:22):
I don't know if it goes to the smart It
seems like it would be smart of me TV to
have an app that you could get on your smart TV.
So look it up. And then you have all those
old shows that aren't as nasty and aren't as filthy.
You know, Beauford, You're raising kids in our modern society.
(33:44):
They'd be better off watching whatever whatever stuff is on
me TV. Then they would really anything else. Unfortunately, everything
everything out there has some filth in it. All right,
there's more to get to Uncle Henry's show coming up
(34:08):
after the news break. This says the Uncle Henry Show
(34:40):
here on News Radio sevent ten WNTM. Thank you for listening.
Thank you for spending some of your Friday here with
me on the Uncle Henry Show. Now, in this half
hour of show, going to get to a few news
items that I'm curious about. And also earlier today, I
was looking through my audio archives for something and I
(35:04):
found a few things I forgot I had that if
I have time, I want to share with you some
stuff from way back that I have collected in my
audio archives from previous Uncle Henry shows years ago. First,
I want to start with a story, this one. Let's
listen to it together. All I know is this is
(35:24):
about Christianity allegedly losing influence globally. This is a story
reported by w AAF that is a stepsister station of
Fox ten located up in Huntsville, Alabama. Let's listen together
(35:46):
as we're being told that allegedly Christianity losing influence globally
better Church.
Speaker 14 (35:54):
A new study by Pew Research Center shows Christianity continues
to grow, but growing faster is Islam and people who
aren't religious at all. Way for forty eights, NOA Cow
spoke to local experts about this shift in religion.
Speaker 15 (36:10):
Recent Pew Research studies indicate Christianity has been losing influence
globally and right here in Alabama, but some local experts
believe these trends are somewhat misleading and they're hopeful they
won't last. Pew Research Center released a study three days ago.
So in Christianity grew from twenty ten to twenty twenty,
but not as much as Islam or the people with
(36:31):
no religious affiliation.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I'm sorry to interrupt people with no religious affiliation. Now
this is personal opinion time. Now, of course you will,
I'm sure you'll disagree with me. But just looking across
the country, the United States of America, and how over
the past twenty years especially, it seems like we have
an epidemic of mental illness in the country. I think
(36:56):
a lot of that corresponds to people not having a
belief system personal opinion. The more people turn away from
the LOWERD, the worse the mental health is in the country,
and they just well, you see it all around you.
There's examples every day of the world going to hale
all right back to the news story.
Speaker 15 (37:18):
As much as Islam or the people with no religious affiliation.
It aligns with other Pew Research data showing the steady
decline of Christianity in the US. The percentage of Christian
adults in Alabama decreased by thirteen percent over ten years.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
And think about that. How about that is a stat
over ten years, thirteen percent less Christians in Alabama.
Speaker 15 (37:40):
Now, as of twenty twenty two, only sixty three percent
of Americans were Christian, compared to ninety percent thirty years before.
Lyell Lead, the president of Huntsville Bible College, says these
trends could be due to attendance declines at churches during
the pandemic, as well as religious views being associated with
politics and a cultural shift over the past few decades.
Speaker 16 (38:00):
Identifying compared to actually being a believer, those two totally
different things. I think people are more honest now, and
I think they're open to say I don't have to
identify as a Christian just because my mom was a Christian.
Where back in the day people identify as a Christian
because that's what our househill identified. Even though I've never
been to church, I may say I'm a Christian.
Speaker 15 (38:20):
Lee doesn't think this data truly represents the trends we're
seeing in our everyday lives, and neither does Dale Cohen,
a pastor with Florence's United Methodist Church. He says many
parents stop going to church after becoming empty nesters, but
he's noticed a recent rise in younger generations.
Speaker 11 (38:35):
We've had an influx of younger families, and part of
I think the reason for that is we've tried to adapt.
We have a family worship service that is shorter. It's
thirty minutes, parents and their children are able to sit
in worship together. We're just going to have to adapt
our ways to be available, not just in person, but
(38:58):
online where peopleeople are gathering.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Huh, all right, well, I don't know that that is
well two eaches zone, I suppose, but maybe you're having
more people show up. More young people are showing up
for your services, not because your services are shorter or something.
Maybe they're showing up because they realize they have an
(39:23):
emptiness in their lives and that nothing else will work,
nothing else will fill that emptiness other than the Lord.
Maybe that's why they're showing up. Kind of weird to
hear people in churches like this guy that was just
interviewed talking the way he did. Think of that, Well,
maybe if the service is shorter and we put it online,
(39:44):
maybe them.
Speaker 11 (39:46):
Now we're just going to have to adapt our ways
to be available, not just in person, but online where
people are gathering.
Speaker 15 (39:57):
Lee suggests that future religious studies should include core that
show the beliefs of the person aligned with the religion
to prevent people who aren't actually religious from skewing these trends.
Reporting in Huntsville Noah Cowell forty eight News on.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Your Side, all right, so they what the questions changed.
When they're asking the questions, they want the questions to
be different. So maybe you will. People will give an
answer they like, all right, well you heard the stance there,
the stants about I don't know. At one point, ninety
(40:31):
percent in the country identified as Christian, and then decades
later it's down to sixty percent. Any coincidence, that it
seems that the world has gone nuts, any any coincidence,
and that it looks more insane than ever before out
there in our country. Now, you of course will disagree
(40:56):
with me on this, but I think it has a
direct correlation that the the less Christianity we have, the
worse off it gets in public life. That's just a Again,
that's a personal opinion of mine. All right, Let's see
what other news item can I get to here before
we go into our break. Real quick. Here, I've got
a story from Fox ten that just reminds me of
(41:18):
my childhood. It is about jellyfish. Yes, the Baldwin beaches
are seeing jellyfishes. Here is how Shirk of Fox ten,
talking about the jellyfish.
Speaker 17 (41:32):
Beach safety offish, will say, we're really just getting into
jellyfish season. You'll see more and more of these purple
flags as you get to the beach. Yes, and there
are some steps you can take to prevent getting stung
and treat yourself.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
If you do.
Speaker 18 (41:47):
Visitors to Cotton Buyu Public Beach Thursday were greeted with
mild surf conditions, but along with the yellow flag of
purple warning of jellyfish in the surf. While this day
didn't see many encounters, reported them in much higher numbers
over the last few days, with several saying they've been stung.
They can definitely put a damper on the day if
(42:08):
not treated. Beach safety officials say there are some things
you can do out on the beach to ease the sting.
Speaker 19 (42:15):
The first thing you need to do is just remove
the stingers, and you can do that by getting a
credit card and scraping it against the grain. Or you
can get some warm, dry sand, which is plentiful out here,
and you can scrub it on there as well. And
if things you want to avoid is cold fresh water,
it's better to use the salt water with sand mixed in,
but dry sanded obviously ideal.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Lots of memories from my childhood right there, the family
would go down to the guff, would get into the water,
get stung, deal with it, and wrench and repeat. Just
memories of childhood getting stung by the jellyfish. All right, Look,
gonna take a quick time out and then I'm gonna
(42:54):
go into the on Clenberg Show archives. I've got some
some items I forgot I had that i want to
hear again. After all these years. So that's coming up
after the traffic and weather break here on news radio
seventy ten WNTM. Let us now go ahead and take
the break, it says the Uncle Henry Show here on
(43:25):
news radio seventy ten WNTM. News headlines coming up in
ten minutes now. I mentioned that I was going through
my audio archives today and I found some things that
I forgot I had, and I'd like to listen if
you don't mind, and I'll share these with you. The
first thing I want to share is for Alabama fans
(43:49):
like me, roll Tide role. I met a guy named
Nathan I believe his name is Nathan Davis. I think
this was at the opening of a new grocery store
or something like that. Anyway, this guy covered in Alabama tattoos.
Let's listen together. This is from twenty fourteen. This is
(44:09):
from what eleven years ago. Here is Nathan Davis talking
about his Alabama tats.
Speaker 6 (44:18):
All right, please, and your name is what it's Nathan Davis.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Nathan Davis. Is that your real name?
Speaker 6 (44:24):
Yes, sir, it is all right.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Describe to me your tattoos.
Speaker 20 (44:28):
I'm known as the Alabama super fan because of all
my tattoos devoted to the University of Alabama's football team.
My back is an entire portrait of Bear Bryant.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
His back an entire portrait of the Bear.
Speaker 20 (44:41):
I have Bear Bryant and Joe Namath on my chest.
I have Bear Bryan on my left arm. I have
prayers that he used to say to the football team
down my arm. On the right side, I have Kenny
Stabler and prayers he used to say. Have Rammer Jammer
roll tied, yellowhammer, distant birds of our states, the tom
the chimes eighteen thirty one. It's all covered my entire
(45:03):
upper body, all.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Right now, the wife Julie, Is that right?
Speaker 15 (45:06):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Is he accurate in his description?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
Is absolutely?
Speaker 2 (45:10):
I can verify. So did he have all these when
you met him?
Speaker 6 (45:14):
Oh? He did?
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Oh he got more after I met him. So, so
did this at all enter into Did it? Did it
make you more cautious about him?
Speaker 12 (45:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (45:26):
It was a turn on?
Speaker 11 (45:27):
What?
Speaker 8 (45:28):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (45:30):
I know it did it for me?
Speaker 4 (45:33):
What can I say?
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Well, Nathan, I have to admit that this sounds like
the best use of tattooing that I've ever heard.
Speaker 20 (45:40):
It certainly is I think if you put a tattoo
on your body, it should be of somebody that you
idolize for life. And when I go to football games,
I wear a kilt because I'm an Irishman and that's
how everybody gets to see all my tattoos. And I
do face paint, so my face is basically the colors
of the school or of a death mask, you know,
for intimidation purposes, especially with Lsu and Auburn.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
With all the tattoos. Were the Sholy years difficult for you?
Speaker 6 (46:08):
Very difficult.
Speaker 20 (46:09):
I almost knew that we were going to lose every
time we played Alburn because he had no tatiscular fortitude,
if you will.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
There was a lot of Jumbo package.
Speaker 6 (46:17):
Yes, Joma package was no game.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Okay, Now did you mention Saban at all when it
came to tattoos?
Speaker 20 (46:23):
No, I see, Saban was never my hero grown up
as a child. So I respect the man. I really
admire him. I love his style of football, but he
was not my hero grown up as a child, and
Beer Bryant was my hero as a child.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Could Saban ever earn a spot on your body?
Speaker 4 (46:41):
No?
Speaker 6 (46:41):
I'm done with tattoos. You know.
Speaker 20 (46:43):
He has my respect, he has my love. And loyalty,
but no more tattoos on my body for football coaches?
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Have you persuaded your wife Julie to also get Alabama tattoos?
Speaker 20 (46:54):
You know, I've been trying to ask her, you know,
when she's comfortable to get one, if she is great,
If not, hey, but I told her to put on
a spot that will always get her on national TV.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
Julie, are you ever going to consider it?
Speaker 1 (47:07):
You know?
Speaker 17 (47:07):
I told him he's got enough tattoos for the both
of us.
Speaker 15 (47:10):
So I'm good for now.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
I'm good with the body Y'd gave me. I love that.
That's elegant. I'm good. I'm good. He's got a coupboard. Well, Nathan,
thank you for stopping in.
Speaker 20 (47:20):
Thank you, and God bless you truly are the inspiration
when we drive over through the nasty traffick and mobile.
Speaker 6 (47:26):
We love listening to you. God bless you, my friend.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
God bless you. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (47:30):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
All right. Last time I played that on the radio
was in July of twenty fourteen, Nathan. If you're still
out there, Nathan Davis, God bless you, and you enjoyed
some great football since then. Right, A real quick here's
something from twenty ten. This is a report from twenty
ten that always makes me laugh. This is a report
(47:54):
on NBC fifteen where they got a Mobile County commissioner
to cut his nose hair on television. Here we go, Yes,
this is a county commissioner cutting his nose hair on television.
Speaker 10 (48:11):
Personal Hair Remover promises to erase on wanted hair instantly
and painlessly. But does it really work as the commercials claim?
Local fifteens and Lindsay Bramson puts it to the test
and tonight's buy it and try it.
Speaker 21 (48:27):
It claims to remove hair instantly and pain free, good
for your chin, ears, even sideburns, and that's exactly what
Mobile County Commissioner Mike Dean wants to try it on.
Speaker 22 (48:39):
Hopefully it's going to work out in some of the
places that I want to touch up.
Speaker 21 (48:43):
Running from meeting to meeting, Dean doesn't always get a
chance to shave, you.
Speaker 22 (48:47):
Know, being in the public eye, people look and judge you.
And with this high definition TV now you need to
make sure you up you.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
Look your best.
Speaker 21 (48:55):
Claiming to be powerful enough to remove even the thickest
hair anywhere. We decided to buy it and try it.
Speaker 14 (49:02):
Embarrassing nose hair gone like that unsightly ear hair. Watch
it disappear.
Speaker 22 (49:08):
Well, you know, naturally where you get hair gets to
grow in just about everywhere, mainly around the ears, you know,
and you know the eyebrows and back of the neck.
Speaker 21 (49:18):
Now it's time to start trimming.
Speaker 22 (49:20):
I'm gonna do the nose, Okay, yeah, trim that up, next.
Speaker 21 (49:25):
Up the ears. You feel the hair coming.
Speaker 22 (49:27):
Off, yeah, I can feel it and see it.
Speaker 4 (49:31):
It works pretty good.
Speaker 21 (49:32):
Finishing touch even comes with a light if.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
You want to touch up. This is the best thing.
You can get.
Speaker 22 (49:38):
It on the go and has a battery and you
can travel with you to the beach and for nine.
Speaker 21 (49:43):
To ninety nine you can have your own personal hair
remover so gentle and painless it doesn't even pop a balloon.
Remember if there's a product you'd.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
Like to see, fine, you know I like being on
TV too, but not enough to cut my nose hair
on television. All right, out of time, Thank you for
listening to the unk Ray show. As they say in Sirland,
have a good one, as they say in Theodore, take
it easy all right.
