Okay, this there's the Uncle Henry Show here on news
(02:00):
radio seventy ten wnt M. Thank you. I appreciate very
much you listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Here we
are together again once again, just the two of us,
me and you trying to figure out what is going on,
(02:21):
what's happening in the world around us. It is hard
to figure out, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
We can figure it out together. Two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. The telephone number here
on the Uncle Henry Show. It's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. As usual, I got so many
different topics to get into, so many different things to
talk about, so many voicemails to get to. And I
(02:51):
also love to talk to the live callers again at
two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
Before I get into anything that I had on my
list of things, let me take a call here.
Speaker 9 (03:03):
Hello caller, Hey, good evening, Drew Cliff.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Cliff, good to hear from you again. You are live
on the radio.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (03:13):
I've been sitting here reading some of these nice books
I don't collected over the years since I hadn't got
my knee, I breaded on and I've been running across
some useful information.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (03:27):
One of them is, did you know that nobody ever
brought up the fact that there's a group of Indians
called it the chalk Taw Indians.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, I've heard of the chalk Tong Yes, Well.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
They're celebrating Juneteenth in eighteen sixty five, when the slaves
of Texas finally find out they were free. Well, the
chalk Taw Indians didn't release they slaves to around May
of eighteen sixty five. But nobody say nothing about those
indigenous people, of the Indians having slaves. They only looking
(04:03):
at the white people.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I didn't I didn't realize that there.
Speaker 9 (04:07):
Wasn't even white people then the Europeans and the Spanish
and all of that. But they never, Uh, they give
credit to the Indians for owning the land, but they
don't give credit for Indians having slaves too.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I know that is something that you don't hear about
it very often, do you?
Speaker 9 (04:23):
No? And another one other thing before I go. I
keep hearing these faith based preachers in Alabama and all
these places are praying and marching and protesting cuts to
medicaid and all this stuff. If these people are supposed
to be learned people, even like Barbara Drumming and all
our black leaders and politicians down here, they're supposed to
(04:44):
be learning leaders where they can tell people the trap
that's going on. When when you talk about cuts, the
government gives certain states a certain amount of money every
year for medicaid, food stamp welfare. What what they're talking
about a cut is not a cut. They're not getting
anything added because they added all these legals and stuff
(05:06):
to it. They're getting the same amount of money that
they received last year, maybe year before. Call nobody okay,
or raised and sort of this stuff like they did.
They the politicians, they self parraise. So it's not a cut.
It's actually you have to deal with the same amount
of money even though you put another twenty million people
(05:26):
on That position is not being cut. It's just that
they ain't adding anything to the new budget.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Okay, you too, Cliff, thank you very much for your
phone call, and I hope you're hope you're doing well.
After having some time to procedure with your knee. I
can understand how how much that would done, how painful
that can be, and how important it is to be
able to get around two five to one or seven
nine two seven two three the telephone number here on
(05:52):
the unc Cleinner show. That's two five to one or
seven nine two seven two three.
Speaker 10 (05:56):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
In Cliff's phone call, he mentioned Barbara i'm goo is
running for mayor of the city of Mobile. Channel five
wk RG announced that they are going to have a
live primetime TV debate on Channel five Monday, August fourth,
at seven o'clock at night. So if you are interested
(06:18):
in the mayor's race of Mobile. All four of the candidates,
Barbara Drummonds, bureau Perra Goddess, Paul Prime, and Connie Hudson,
they will all be on TV seven o'clock Monday night,
August fourth, and they say that Channel five says they're
going to have questions formulated by the people at News
(06:40):
five plus, submitted by viewers and also submitted by the
candidates themselves. Well, that would be that would I would
be interested in seeing what the candidates would like to
ask each other. That would be a fun element there
in a debate. So for those that are looking for
(07:02):
more exposure to the candidates and learn what they have
to say, you have that Monday night, August fourth on
Channel five. It'll be one hour from seven to eight.
And who knows, we may there may be more. I
know there have been a lot of forums, a lot
of opportunities to meet candidates. Maybe more opportunities as the
days go by here in Mobile for voters again, the
(07:26):
telephone number two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. There's two five one four seven nine two
seven two three email address Uncle Henry dieheartmedia dot com. Hey.
Before going to break all week long. Every week, I
see lots of different news items, especially for my job
on FM radio. I'm also on ninety five KSJ playing
(07:47):
country music in the middle of the day Monday through Friday,
and all kind of dumb things pop up that people
are hoping that DJs will talk about around the country,
different surveys of people, news, corporate press releases about products
and things like that, And I saw one this week
(08:09):
one of the dumbest things I've seen in several years.
The news story was that if you want to bond
with a rat, you should tickle it. Yes, researchers, university
(08:29):
researchers claim they've studied rats and they've found that if
you want to bond with a rat, all you need
to do is tickle it, and it will release certain
hormones in the rat's brain that will make the rat
bond to you. So maybe there's some news you can
use if you're lonely and you'd like to make friends
with a rat, I just tickle it. New's Radio seven
(09:15):
to ten WNTM. This is the Uncle Henry Show. It's
five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes from
Fox ten and from Fox Radio National News. If you'd
like to call the show, you can two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. It's two five
to one four seven nine two seven two three email
(09:37):
address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now there's a
I've got a lot of things to bring up to you,
some of some of them more serious than rat tickling,
as I mentioned in the last sement of the show.
But uh, before I go any further, there's a message
I wanted to share with you that was phoned in
earlier this week. I don't think we can.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I don't want to wait on this because this story
might even get regional or national attention once people find
out about what happened with Snake Trapper this week.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Hey Henry, snake Trapper Amen. Leaving this morning to go
to work. I was a box turtle, Uncle Henry, right
in the middle of the road at.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
My driveway, a box turtle.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
So I shot a little video that I posted on
the Snake Trapper page of me assisting that box turtle
across the road.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Well, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
In that video, I referred to that box turtle.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
As a hymn. It was clearly a her.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Uncle Henry, and I got some blowback because a person
reached out to me and act like they was offended
because I misgendered this box turtle.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
So this snake trapper is admitting publicly that he misgendered
a box turtle. Now, in modern America, you never know, Wow,
there could be people. You remember when we had the
beaver incident and Mobile, where the city of Mobile hired
beaver wranglers to wrangle beavers to make sure they didn't
(11:12):
flood neighborhoods with ill advised beaver dams, and we had
beaver advocates. Beaver advocates showed up at the Mobile City
Council meeting and then I think Josh Woods or the
Mobile City Council talked about all these emails that the
council was getting, and most of them were out of towners,
people from around the country that didn't live here, that
(11:35):
were beaver advocates that wanted to make sure that the
beavers were treated properly. We could have I don't know
how many local people will care about the misgendering of
a box turtle, but there may be a lot of
people in other parts of the country that are very
sensitive to the topic of mis gendering. Of really any
(11:56):
living creature, including a box turtle. So snake Trail hopes
this stay Trapper is okay. He's help his Facebook page
and getting inundated with communications about the misgendering of the
box turtle. But anyway, there is more to this.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
It's set out to me and act like they was
offended because I misgendered this box turtle. Wanted to know
if I knew how to tell the difference so they
could educate me. I told him, sure, I know the difference.
I just happened to call it to him. It didn't
appear to offend the turtle.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
It didn't try to bite me or nothing.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
So I set it down and send it on its
merried wayland. But yeah, for those folks out there that
don't know how to tell the difference, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Now this is important at this point now for you
the listener for educational purposes. So this portion of the
unc cleantary show presented for educational purposes on how to
properly gender a turtle, specifically a box turtle. This could
you never know when you might be asked. You know,
you might have a neighbor ask you to, hey, come over,
(12:57):
can you help me figure this out, so this is
news you can use.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Uh, the male underbelly is kind of concave to where
the female underbelly is flat.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
This isn't clearly had a flat belly.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
And uh, that's the way nature made. I'm uncle Henrid.
So when they're doing.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
The aromazome zone mina zoom boom, it kind of helps
that old wall.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
That old male turtle out.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
So snake Trapper instead of using the clinical, medical or
scientific terms for box turtle reproductive activity, instead gave us
sound effects that he created of the the sound of
box turtles reproducing.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
And uh, that's the way nature made. I'm uncle Hendrix.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
So when they're doing the here we.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Go, this is the sound effects of box turtles reproducing
romantically on a moonlight night.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Romo zoom zone, mina zoom boom.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Coan just uh, I will be saving that in the archive.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
It kind of helps that old uh, that old male
turtle out, if you know what I.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
See, I do not.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
Actually you don't like to talk about that kind of crap, no,
but yeah, man, uh you get a chance. Check out
that video on the Snake Draper page. Uh, but I
wasn't apologizing for misgender and it. Uh. The turtle didn't
tell me it had certain pronouns so uh and didn't
act offended.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
So to each his own.
Speaker 11 (14:29):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
But yes, I do know how.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
To tell the difference between a male and a female
turtle or trust.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
But yeah on glendr some moth.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
There's some cats out there that don't want you to uh,
don't want you to make up, don't want you to
misspeak in any way.
Speaker 11 (14:44):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
But I you know, and I should have. I should
have called it the proper uh uh uh sex or
or gender if you would.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
But anyway, Benny, I just wanted to share that with you, brother.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
You take care save Trevor. Thank you again that I
love the fact that we can present this type of
programming for the citizenry of the Gulf Coast and anybody
listening on the iHeartRadio app from around the country. Because
there are there are other shows in the city of
Mobile and on the Gulf Coast that do excellent jobs
interviewing local politicians and covering news and things like that,
(15:21):
covering state politicians and things like that. I like to
think that the elk Henry Show can fill in the
gaps with things like this, like how do you how
do you properly determine the gender of a box turtle?
These are the kind of things that sometimes the other
shows don't have time for, but I love to make
time for this type of thing here on the program.
I feel like it's so almost a calling for the
(15:42):
Ulkle Henry Show to fill in these type of blanks
in our communities. Collective knowledge. Two five to one four
seven nine two seven two three. The telephone number that's
two five to one four seven nine two seven two three.
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now let's see before we
go in to break, what else can I tell you
(16:03):
about instead of getting into some really serious stuff, which
I may do in the next half hour of program.
I did see a news item about the last living
member of the cast of Hogan's Heroes passed away, an
(16:24):
actor named Kenneth Washington, who joined the cast of Hogan's
Heroes in the final season. Hogan's Heroes was six seasons long,
and the man passed away. His name Kenneth Washington. May
he rest in peace, eighty eight years old. Appearing on
(16:46):
a lot of TV shows, but was in the cast
of Hogan's Heroes in the last season of the show,
and just anything to do with that show fascinates me
because Hogan's Heroes, of course from nineteen sixty five to
seventy one, a comedy about Germans in their pow camp,
(17:09):
which you think about modern sensibilities. A generation Z could
never understand how there was a comedy show about a
German pow camp, but it existed. It won two Emmy Awards,
(17:29):
it was a top ten show at one point, and
most of the German officers on the show were portrayed
by Jews. That says the Uncle Henry Show. Here on
(18:00):
News Radio seven ten WNTM. It is five thirty five
here on a Friday telephone number. If you'd like to
call the show two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. That's two five to one four seven
nine two seventy two three. You can also hear me
on FM radio Monday through Friday. I'm on ninety five
(18:21):
KSJ playing country music and tomorrow is going to be
at the Parker McCollum concert in Orange Beach at the Wharf.
If you're in that neighborhood, whether you're going to the
concert or not, If you're in that neighbor neighborhood, you
can stop by and say hello. Me and Shelby Mitchell
from ninety five KSJ are going to be at Island
(18:41):
Time Dackeries at the wharf starting at three o'clock for
a pre concert party. She says. There's going to be
some Parker mccollumn merchandise to hand out and other stuff
like that, so come by and say hello, maybe you
can get yourself some merchandise. Later we're going to be
moving down to the wharf ticket gate number four with
(19:03):
the ninety five KSJ tent and the boot Hole game.
You can play that game to win prizes from the
boot store, hats and t shirts and things like that.
So again, if you're going to the concert or just
in that neighborhood, stop buying see us. They're at the
wharf tomorrow evening for the Parker McCollum concert again. The
(19:24):
phone number two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. That's two fine one four seven nine two
seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
Now there's a horrible story. I hate to even I
haven't wanted to talk about it on the radio because
it's such a horrible story, and you probably know the
story I'm about to mention to you. Well, maybe I won't.
I do have a caller. Maybe the caller will save
(19:46):
you from the horrific story. Hello caller.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Oh yeah, sir, I'm not too late.
Speaker 11 (19:53):
You was talking about yesterday with the local rivers in mobile.
Speaker 3 (19:58):

Speaker 11 (20:09):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (20:10):
Nobody? Did anybody mention Paul Brown he used to be
Uh he used to work with the Undertaker or working
with the Undertaker?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Did they mention who Paul Brown?
Speaker 10 (20:24):
He worked for the Undertaker? He was carried his coat
and carried the iron in front of him.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Uh, well, they mentioned the Paul Bearer. You're talking about
Paul Bearer? Yes, yes, yes, yes we did.
Speaker 11 (20:35):
We talked.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I mentioned Paul Bear. He's one of the few that
I actually got to meet and know.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
Yeah, he went a little flower. Sure?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah? Were you friends with him?
Speaker 10 (20:46):
I worked with him? Yeah, well years ago.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Was he a nice guy?
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (20:51):
He was great.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
He was great, you know he was he was super professional,
but he was great. Yeah. And also, y'all you mentioned
that old hippie boy yet, yes, a little getting the
little rough. Yes, well, his son used to own a
club up on Highway ninety and you and my drinking days.
(21:12):
I used to visit him and sit there and talk
to here and hear all his war stories. And he's
a real nice guy. I thought he was incredible.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah, he was very nice. I had a chance to
interview Mike the Hippie Boyett several times back when I
was doing TV in nineteen eighty nine and nineteen ninety.
He was he was a lot of fun to talk to.
But yeah, he one day he got really mad in
the ring and it turned into quite a brawl.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
Was awesome, yes, sir. And also I remember back in
the maybe just a little bit before your time, when
we only had Rabbit Ears and three stations yep, Saturday
Night I think it was WKRG at the time, did
wrestling right before he went off the air.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I remember that that's where I would see Cowboy Bob Kelly. Yeah,
and uh he thought a guy named that called himself
gorgeous George.
Speaker 11 (22:10):
Oh yeah, I was.
Speaker 10 (22:16):
Yeah. I grew up with all them guys, and I
thought they was, you know, I just they was really
entertaining and I'm sad to see they go away, me too.
And if I can change subject real quickly, it's like,
you know that the USS America that's been down here,
yes and everybody, and it's turned into a big old
tourist trap. Yeah, I'm just curious, you know, how come like,
(22:41):
you know, a battleship people hadn't tried to get something
like a funnel from them and put it out there
next to the B fifty two or something, you know,
be a nice little tourist trap thing.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Well I don't I don't know what how much all
that would how much effort and cost that would be,
but you're right, I mean people been very interested in it.
Speaker 10 (23:02):
Yeah, I didn't take taking two people by town that
came in from out of town down there to look
at it. You know, and there's and you know, there's
a spot right where you can get and get out
there and just standing on the pile right have your
picture taken and everything, and it's getting crowded out there.
(23:22):
So I just thought maybe those people are battleship, you know,
I mean, Kady could pay scrap for it or something,
you know, and that would be really cool to have
something else for people to come see and my.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Will indeed, it would be I'm sure day. Thank you
for listening, thank you for calling.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
Well, thank you for picking up the phone. And you
have a good weekend you too, sir.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Thank you very much for telling me that you got
to sit and talk with Mike the Hippie boy ed
about his stories. Uh, I've told the story before, a
few years before he passed. I was in a bank
waiting in line to go to the bank teller and
Mike the Hippie boy At was ahead of me in line,
(24:05):
and he got incredibly angry because he wanted to cash
a check with no form of ID at all, and
the people that work there they did not recognize him
as Mike the Hippie boy At, and he was I
thought he was going to tear the bank apart. But anyway,
he was a He was a wonderful guy, unless you
were trying to cast that check or wouldn't let me
(24:27):
do that. Two five one four seven nine two seven
two three is a telephone number that's two five to
one four seven nine two seven two three. Email address
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Before the caller called
in about the local wrestlers. I mentioned that there was
a horrible story. You probably know the one I'm talking about,
the story that's getting international attention out of bib County
(24:49):
in Alabama, where children were horribly, horribly abused in an
underground bunker. They have seven suspects. Just it's hard to
even talk about all the things that happened to these kids,
ages between three and ten. The only reason I'm bringing
it up here on the Uncle Henry Show after seeing
(25:09):
this story over the past week and all the horrible details.
When you hear about what we're done to these kids,
this is one of those instances where I have to
wonder to myself why we don't use the death penalty
(25:30):
in this kind of case. And I don't want to
be bloodthirsty about these kind of things. I know that
the death penalty being abolished around the world. I think
the United States, United States, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, I think Russia.
Only a few developed countries used the death penalty. But
(25:55):
something like this, if you've seen the details on this,
if you've done a deep dive on this, seeing what
these kids went through, I think society has to defend itself,
and I don't think life in prison is enough of
a defense. Yeah, there are, they're they're off the streets.
They're not going to do it to another kid, But
(26:19):
you really, this is something that people need to this
would I'm not I'm talking about death penalty where it's
public and the public can can witness it. I know
that sounds very old fashioned, very throwback, but we like
to think of ourselves as being very progressive and mankind
(26:41):
has has really ascended and we're better than that now.
I don't believe we are. If we're capable, people living
in bib County are capable of this, We're we're we're
human beings are just as capable as being as awful
as we've ever been in the history of humanity. And
(27:05):
this is one of those cases where I know the
death penalty, I guess Alabama law doesn't have it apply here,
but it really should. This is the kind of thing
unfortunately now take no comfort in it in a death
penalty there, but it ought to be public. These people
(27:26):
should be put to death. I hate to say something
like that, but they should be and it should be
public as a deterrent to send a message to all
the other animals masquerading as people. It says the Uncle
(27:55):
Henry Show here on news radio seven ten WNTM news
headlines in ten minutes and then more show, Hello.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Color, good email, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Burt, Burt, you are live on the radio.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
When you said what ought to happen to these serial
child molesters? I couldn't agree more, Henry. There was a
judge in Fort Smith, Arkansas, back in the Old West
days on the Oklahoma border who had a gallows big
enough to hang six at a time, like in the
Clinton Eastwood movie Hang Them High. Yeah, that's what ought
(28:35):
to happen to these kind of people. However, many was
in that ring that was doing that to these kids
should stand on the gallows like that in the morning
after they're convicted, all of them at the same time.
And Uncle Henry, whenever I see a post about John
Lennon on Facebook, I comment that the worst part of
the John Lennon story is that his killer is still
(28:56):
being fed and cared for by the taxpayers of New York.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yes, and that should.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Have been a public hanging in Central Park or someplace
where one hundred thousand people could have attended. Uncle Henry,
so help me. Somebody claiming to be Paul McCartney himself
like my comment, Oh really, okay, Britishers are supposed to
be above those kinds of sentiments. But he was John's
(29:25):
friend and co worker, and I can I can understand
if he really did feel the same way I do
about that.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, but you know this is Bert See for me,
this is more about feelings. You know, most of us
are just completely disgusted beyond words about what happened. This
is not this is for me, this is about self
defense as a people, as a society. It doesn't make
any sense. It doesn't make any sense to to to
(29:54):
put him in jail for the rest of their lives.
If we want to protect future children, you would make
a tremendous example so that we wouldn't have these things
happen again.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Exactly. And it's not necessarily for the rest of their lives.
Either they find ways to get out or their their
lunatic judges in the future that let them out. Hinckley
was was let out recently. Yeah, for me, that tried
to kill president. For Mary jay uh what was the name,
(30:28):
Mary Jane Moore or something like that, that tried to
kill Ford. A few weeks after the Manson girl did
all these people have gotten out on parole. The Manson
girls come up for parole just about every couple of years. Yes, sir,
handsome man tried to kill that killed Bobby Kennedy up
for parole every few years. These people should die for
(30:49):
their crimes. Uncle Henry and I agree. It's not just sentiment,
it's survival as a society. We need to have a
credible deterrent for these kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I'm with you all, Thank you very much for your
phone call. And again, it's not about being bloodthirsty. For me,
it's not about being blood thirsty or exacting some form
of revenge. It's all about protecting people in the future
from it. I got a call about something like this
(31:22):
back in about I think it was nineteen eighty three.
I got this phone call.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
Oh yes, I'll tell you. I say that life imprisonment
should be abolished. If they're going to give a.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
Person life in prison, I don't think we ought to
have it.
Speaker 12 (31:48):
We ought to cut that out all together. If the
crime is bad enough for life imprisonment, it's bad.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Enough to execute them. Because this country can I afford
to keep all these people for life in prison. It
ought to be cut out. If they have committed a
crime that is bad enough to give them life, it's
bad enough to execute him. And what's the reason for
us to let them set up in prison and keep
(32:17):
them alive all this time? No, indeed, I feel like people.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Ought to talk about that, all right, and we have
and we have, all right. I got about a minute
left in the segment.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Hello color hell Henry.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
How are you doing, snake Trapper? You've recovered from misgendering
the box turtle?
Speaker 11 (32:39):
I did, Uncle Henry? Man, I didn't. I just turned in,
Uncle Henry. Did you play this today?
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah? That was I think the first segment of the show,
maybe or the second.
Speaker 11 (32:49):
Okay, I will go back and listen to the podcast
on Henry. Is that all that burp? Uncle Henry? He
makes some good points. I mean, the death penalty is
a is a deterrent to make these people not do
these heinous crimes. Is that guy that I've just pled
guilty to the stabbing of the college students up north? Uh,
he's fearing death, Uncle hen And that's the reason he
pled guilty to all them hainous crimes. It is so
(33:12):
that he wouldn't have to face the death penalty. But yeah, man,
eye for an eye two for too. I truly believe
in that. But what a call tell you about Uncle Henry.
Our great friend Leah uh sent me a picture of
late yesterday evening of a large watermarksk and in her
pond on her property.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
And I just want to warn people out there that
the uh they are trying to cool down. They are
very active. This is uh like I said, I it's not
moxsin Zilla where my property is too far away from hers.
But it was a large mocks and so people beware
when you swimming in them creature streams.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
All right, Snake Trapper, thank you very much for your
snake report and phone call. I think I may play.
There may be one more snake tramper voicemail I've got
to get to before the end of the show. There
is more Uncle Henry show coming up after the news
break here on wnt M. This is the Uncle Henry
(34:26):
Show here on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. Thank you
for listening to the show and to me. Now coming
up this half hour, I'm going to talk to a
DJ from ninety six to one, the Rocket and TK
one one Crash. I've asked Crash to come in and
(34:46):
tell me about what they have special going on this weekend.
There's some kind of an Ozzy Osbourne tribute and I'll
tell you it's been a shock this week. This week
has been a shock finding out how many Ozzy Osbourne
fans listen to talk radio. How did that happen? Anyway,
(35:07):
we'll get to that that's coming on. I'm going to
do that in the next segment of the show. Right now.
I want to get to some voicemail and who knows
what else here in the first segment of this half
hour now. Earlier this week, I shared with you a
story from Fox ten about a stank. There's a very powerful,
unpleasant stank odor that was permeating Westmobile and some portions
(35:33):
of Midtown Mobile. I don't know if it was Monday
night Tuesday night, but a lot of people were upset
about a stank, some type of mysterious stink. And this
prompteday call from the Snake Trapper.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Hey a rand Snake Trapper, Hey man, I was listening
to your program after six o'clock yesterday where there were
news reports of a foul older out in West mobile.
Speaker 11 (36:03):
Yes, over, Henry.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
I'm not sure what these folks were smelling, but I
can tell you at the intersection of Snow Road and
Tanner Williams. You go through there, and there is a
very horrible, pungent smell there.
Speaker 11 (36:20):
Henry.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Now I'm pausing there just to say, first of all,
I appreciate the Snake Trapper calling in about this particular stank,
but I'm proud that the Uncle Henry Show can bring
you this kind of vital information about living in South Alabama. Now,
there's other shows out there that do outstanding jobs, that
(36:42):
interview local politicians and stay politicians and just do wonderful work.
But where are you going to find discussions of where
it might stank? I mean, is there's a place for this,
And I'm glad that it's here on the Uncle Henry Show.
So I'm very proud to be able to present this
to you. Thank you for receiving the stank information. And
(37:03):
let's find out. So Snake Treppor's talking about a horrible
stank at the intersection of Snow and Tanner Williams Road.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
At the intersection of Snow Road and Tanner Williams, Yes,
you go through there and there is a very horrible,
pungent smell bear me, but I'll tell you.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
Exactly what that is. That was a skunk hit in
that area.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Hiit skunk?
Speaker 8 (37:32):
Now. Like I said, I'm not sure what these folks
are smelling, but for those of you that do not
know what a hit skunk smells like, it is horrible.
And you're getting this information from someone that has been
sprayed by skunk. Now, it is very hard to get
(37:53):
that smell off of you once you've been sprayed by skunk.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
I'm sorry to pause this again, but I've just been
as I'm listening to this, I'm reflecting on skunks, and
it occurs to me that back when I was a child,
there was a lot of skunk talk. Skunks were a
popular animal back when I was a child. Now, we
didn't have him as pets, but they were talked about.
(38:18):
The Children of America knew what skunks were, and I
guess part of that was because pepe Le Pew was
very popular when I was a child. Pepi la pu
was a movie star. I don't know if he was
only on TV or if he was in the movies,
but Pepi la Pew, the very romantic amorous skunk that
(38:41):
was trying to romance a cat. If I remember the
premise of the cartoons correctly, he was a skunk that
was trying to hook up with it to use this
slang term hook up with a cat? Is that correct?
So my generation lots of skunk talk and respecting skunks
and things like that. Do modern children know about skunks?
(39:03):
Just I don't know. Do they? Do modern children know
about skunks and how they want to date cats?
Speaker 6 (39:12):
The way to do it?
Speaker 8 (39:13):
Ogaheada and I can remember about I guess it's been
about eight years ago when it happened to me. I
actually went up and when Dixie to purchase about a
gallon and a half of buttermilk. That's right, Ogaheandry. You
pretty much have to bathe in buttermilk. Now why that works?
(39:35):
I have no idea. It is a method that my
grandmother told me many many years ago.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
See, back in the day, you needed to know how
to do this. I guess nowadays you don't need to
know anyway. So you went into a grocery store to
buy buttermilk, and you went in there while you were
covered in skunk stank? Is that right?
Speaker 8 (39:57):
And it is the only way I know to get
that smell off of you. So what these folks are
smelling out there.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
I do not know.
Speaker 8 (40:06):
But if you smelt that in the area of Tanner
Williams and Snow Road.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
That's exactly what it is. So yeah, it is a
horrible smell.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
And anyway, Elah hen Ra, I hope federal help out
with folks that are going through that area and think
that the CIA or the FBI or even our federal
government is leaking something that will poison us.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Sorry, it's just an old skunk that had been here.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
You have a good day, my friend, Snake Trapper, thank
you for this valuable insight, this valuable information on skunk stank.
We've talked a lot on this show about snakes, of course,
with Snake Trapper a variety of snakes. We've talked about possums.
Snake Trapper came in to today Possum Show once. However,
we have not talked in depth amount skunks. This is
(41:00):
a future avenue of discussion for the Uncle Henry Show.
Moving forward now, before we go to break here on
Deon Clamberg Show, time for a quick story. Alabama Senator
Tommy Tuberville is saying that the Space Command, the United
States Space Command will be moving to Alabama. Now here's
(41:22):
the story from WSFATV up in Montgomery at Stepsister Station
to Foxtown. I believe the reporter lady is named Sally Pitts.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
Senator Tommy Taberville says Huntsville remains the best location for
Space Command. He says he has spent several hours this
week on the phone and in the Oval Office with
President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He says
they've been discussing moving Space Command to Alabama. He said
the question is not if, but when Space Command we'll
(41:53):
move to Redstone Arsenal. Taberville says they're excited to seal
the deal, but want to do it the right way.
Speaker 13 (42:00):
When the move happens, it's going to save the American
taxpayer at least a half a billion dollars good. More important,
they will receive in more lethal, effective and secure Space
Command when it's behind the fence at Redstone. So I'm
confident we'll get this done very soon.
Speaker 5 (42:20):
Temperville also addressed the FBI transfer of hundreds of agents
to Redstone Arsenal. Temperville says five hundred employees are in
the process of moving.
Speaker 13 (42:28):
My understanding is the ones that have moved in are
living all over the area. They're enjoying it. They're glad
they moved to Huntsville out of Washington, d C. And
we're glad to have them. But there will be other
people that will also move in from the FBI, so
we've got a perfect place, perfect area.
Speaker 5 (42:44):
Tapperville says another five hundred FBI employees should move by
the end of the year. Sally pits WSFA twelve News.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Right good, all right, and I'm sure they would. There's
a lot to love about living in Alabama. All right,
back with more, u cle Henry continues after the break.
Let's take the break.
Friday evening. What a feeling I feel like saying, week,
do what you wanna do? Week in be what you
wanna be week.

Speaker 7 (01:24):
What that role?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Okay, this there's the Uncle Henry Show here on news
(02:00):
radio seventy ten wnt M. Thank you. I appreciate very
much you listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Here we
are together again once again, just the two of us,
me and you trying to figure out what is going on,
(02:21):
what's happening in the world around us. It is hard
to figure out, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
We can figure it out together. Two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. The telephone number here
on the Uncle Henry Show. It's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. As usual, I got so many
different topics to get into, so many different things to
talk about, so many voicemails to get to. And I
(02:51):
also love to talk to the live callers again at
two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
Before I get into anything that I had on my
list of things, let me take a call here.
Speaker 9 (03:03):
Hello caller, Hey, good evening, Drew Cliff.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Cliff, good to hear from you again. You are live
on the radio.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (03:13):
I've been sitting here reading some of these nice books
I don't collected over the years since I hadn't got
my knee, I breaded on and I've been running across
some useful information.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (03:27):
One of them is, did you know that nobody ever
brought up the fact that there's a group of Indians
called it the chalk Taw Indians.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, I've heard of the chalk Tong Yes, Well.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
They're celebrating Juneteenth in eighteen sixty five, when the slaves
of Texas finally find out they were free. Well, the
chalk Taw Indians didn't release they slaves to around May
of eighteen sixty five. But nobody say nothing about those
indigenous people, of the Indians having slaves. They only looking
(04:03):
at the white people.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I didn't I didn't realize that there.
Speaker 9 (04:07):
Wasn't even white people then the Europeans and the Spanish
and all of that. But they never, Uh, they give
credit to the Indians for owning the land, but they
don't give credit for Indians having slaves too.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I know that is something that you don't hear about
it very often, do you?
Speaker 9 (04:23):
No? And another one other thing before I go. I
keep hearing these faith based preachers in Alabama and all
these places are praying and marching and protesting cuts to
medicaid and all this stuff. If these people are supposed
to be learned people, even like Barbara Drumming and all
our black leaders and politicians down here, they're supposed to
(04:44):
be learning leaders where they can tell people the trap
that's going on. When when you talk about cuts, the
government gives certain states a certain amount of money every
year for medicaid, food stamp welfare. What what they're talking
about a cut is not a cut. They're not getting
anything added because they added all these legals and stuff
(05:06):
to it. They're getting the same amount of money that
they received last year, maybe year before. Call nobody okay,
or raised and sort of this stuff like they did.
They the politicians, they self parraise. So it's not a cut.
It's actually you have to deal with the same amount
of money even though you put another twenty million people
(05:26):
on That position is not being cut. It's just that
they ain't adding anything to the new budget.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Okay, you too, Cliff, thank you very much for your
phone call, and I hope you're hope you're doing well.
After having some time to procedure with your knee. I
can understand how how much that would done, how painful
that can be, and how important it is to be
able to get around two five to one or seven
nine two seven two three the telephone number here on
(05:52):
the unc Cleinner show. That's two five to one or
seven nine two seven two three.
Speaker 10 (05:56):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
In Cliff's phone call, he mentioned Barbara i'm goo is
running for mayor of the city of Mobile. Channel five
wk RG announced that they are going to have a
live primetime TV debate on Channel five Monday, August fourth,
at seven o'clock at night. So if you are interested
(06:18):
in the mayor's race of Mobile. All four of the candidates,
Barbara Drummonds, bureau Perra Goddess, Paul Prime, and Connie Hudson,
they will all be on TV seven o'clock Monday night,
August fourth, and they say that Channel five says they're
going to have questions formulated by the people at News
(06:40):
five plus, submitted by viewers and also submitted by the
candidates themselves. Well, that would be that would I would
be interested in seeing what the candidates would like to
ask each other. That would be a fun element there
in a debate. So for those that are looking for
(07:02):
more exposure to the candidates and learn what they have
to say, you have that Monday night, August fourth on
Channel five. It'll be one hour from seven to eight.
And who knows, we may there may be more. I
know there have been a lot of forums, a lot
of opportunities to meet candidates. Maybe more opportunities as the
days go by here in Mobile for voters again, the
(07:26):
telephone number two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. There's two five one four seven nine two
seven two three email address Uncle Henry dieheartmedia dot com. Hey.
Before going to break all week long. Every week, I
see lots of different news items, especially for my job
on FM radio. I'm also on ninety five KSJ playing
(07:47):
country music in the middle of the day Monday through Friday,
and all kind of dumb things pop up that people
are hoping that DJs will talk about around the country,
different surveys of people, news, corporate press releases about products
and things like that, And I saw one this week
(08:09):
one of the dumbest things I've seen in several years.
The news story was that if you want to bond
with a rat, you should tickle it. Yes, researchers, university
(08:29):
researchers claim they've studied rats and they've found that if
you want to bond with a rat, all you need
to do is tickle it, and it will release certain
hormones in the rat's brain that will make the rat
bond to you. So maybe there's some news you can
use if you're lonely and you'd like to make friends
with a rat, I just tickle it. New's Radio seven
(09:15):
to ten WNTM. This is the Uncle Henry Show. It's
five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes from
Fox ten and from Fox Radio National News. If you'd
like to call the show, you can two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. It's two five
to one four seven nine two seven two three email
(09:37):
address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now there's a
I've got a lot of things to bring up to you,
some of some of them more serious than rat tickling,
as I mentioned in the last sement of the show.
But uh, before I go any further, there's a message
I wanted to share with you that was phoned in
earlier this week. I don't think we can.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I don't want to wait on this because this story
might even get regional or national attention once people find
out about what happened with Snake Trapper this week.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Hey Henry, snake Trapper Amen. Leaving this morning to go
to work. I was a box turtle, Uncle Henry, right
in the middle of the road at.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
My driveway, a box turtle.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
So I shot a little video that I posted on
the Snake Trapper page of me assisting that box turtle
across the road.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Well, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
In that video, I referred to that box turtle.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
As a hymn. It was clearly a her.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Uncle Henry, and I got some blowback because a person
reached out to me and act like they was offended
because I misgendered this box turtle.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
So this snake trapper is admitting publicly that he misgendered
a box turtle. Now, in modern America, you never know, Wow,
there could be people. You remember when we had the
beaver incident and Mobile, where the city of Mobile hired
beaver wranglers to wrangle beavers to make sure they didn't
(11:12):
flood neighborhoods with ill advised beaver dams, and we had
beaver advocates. Beaver advocates showed up at the Mobile City
Council meeting and then I think Josh Woods or the
Mobile City Council talked about all these emails that the
council was getting, and most of them were out of towners,
people from around the country that didn't live here, that
(11:35):
were beaver advocates that wanted to make sure that the
beavers were treated properly. We could have I don't know
how many local people will care about the misgendering of
a box turtle, but there may be a lot of
people in other parts of the country that are very
sensitive to the topic of mis gendering. Of really any
(11:56):
living creature, including a box turtle. So snake Trail hopes
this stay Trapper is okay. He's help his Facebook page
and getting inundated with communications about the misgendering of the
box turtle. But anyway, there is more to this.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
It's set out to me and act like they was
offended because I misgendered this box turtle. Wanted to know
if I knew how to tell the difference so they
could educate me. I told him, sure, I know the difference.
I just happened to call it to him. It didn't
appear to offend the turtle.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
It didn't try to bite me or nothing.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
So I set it down and send it on its
merried wayland. But yeah, for those folks out there that
don't know how to tell the difference, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Now this is important at this point now for you
the listener for educational purposes. So this portion of the
unc cleantary show presented for educational purposes on how to
properly gender a turtle, specifically a box turtle. This could
you never know when you might be asked. You know,
you might have a neighbor ask you to, hey, come over,
(12:57):
can you help me figure this out, so this is
news you can use.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Uh, the male underbelly is kind of concave to where
the female underbelly is flat.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
This isn't clearly had a flat belly.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
And uh, that's the way nature made. I'm uncle Henrid.
So when they're doing.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
The aromazome zone mina zoom boom, it kind of helps
that old wall.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
That old male turtle out.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
So snake Trapper instead of using the clinical, medical or
scientific terms for box turtle reproductive activity, instead gave us
sound effects that he created of the the sound of
box turtles reproducing.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
And uh, that's the way nature made. I'm uncle Hendrix.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
So when they're doing the here we.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Go, this is the sound effects of box turtles reproducing
romantically on a moonlight night.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Romo zoom zone, mina zoom boom.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Coan just uh, I will be saving that in the archive.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
It kind of helps that old uh, that old male
turtle out, if you know what I.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
See, I do not.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
Actually you don't like to talk about that kind of crap, no,
but yeah, man, uh you get a chance. Check out
that video on the Snake Draper page. Uh, but I
wasn't apologizing for misgender and it. Uh. The turtle didn't
tell me it had certain pronouns so uh and didn't
act offended.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
So to each his own.
Speaker 11 (14:29):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
But yes, I do know how.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
To tell the difference between a male and a female
turtle or trust.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
But yeah on glendr some moth.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
There's some cats out there that don't want you to uh,
don't want you to make up, don't want you to
misspeak in any way.
Speaker 11 (14:44):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
But I you know, and I should have. I should
have called it the proper uh uh uh sex or
or gender if you would.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
But anyway, Benny, I just wanted to share that with you, brother.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
You take care save Trevor. Thank you again that I
love the fact that we can present this type of
programming for the citizenry of the Gulf Coast and anybody
listening on the iHeartRadio app from around the country. Because
there are there are other shows in the city of
Mobile and on the Gulf Coast that do excellent jobs
interviewing local politicians and covering news and things like that,
(15:21):
covering state politicians and things like that. I like to
think that the elk Henry Show can fill in the
gaps with things like this, like how do you how
do you properly determine the gender of a box turtle?
These are the kind of things that sometimes the other
shows don't have time for, but I love to make
time for this type of thing here on the program.
I feel like it's so almost a calling for the
(15:42):
Ulkle Henry Show to fill in these type of blanks

Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now let's see before we
go in to break, what else can I tell you
(16:03):
about instead of getting into some really serious stuff, which
I may do in the next half hour of program.
I did see a news item about the last living
member of the cast of Hogan's Heroes passed away, an
(16:24):
actor named Kenneth Washington, who joined the cast of Hogan's
Heroes in the final season. Hogan's Heroes was six seasons long,
and the man passed away. His name Kenneth Washington. May
he rest in peace, eighty eight years old. Appearing on
(16:46):
a lot of TV shows, but was in the cast
of Hogan's Heroes in the last season of the show,
and just anything to do with that show fascinates me
because Hogan's Heroes, of course from nineteen sixty five to
seventy one, a comedy about Germans in their pow camp,
(17:09):
which you think about modern sensibilities. A generation Z could
never understand how there was a comedy show about a
German pow camp, but it existed. It won two Emmy Awards,
(17:29):
it was a top ten show at one point, and
most of the German officers on the show were portrayed
by Jews. That says the Uncle Henry Show. Here on
(18:00):
News Radio seven ten WNTM. It is five thirty five
here on a Friday telephone number. If you'd like to
call the show two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. That's two five to one four seven

on FM radio Monday through Friday. I'm on ninety five
(18:21):
KSJ playing country music and tomorrow is going to be
at the Parker McCollum concert in Orange Beach at the Wharf.
If you're in that neighborhood, whether you're going to the
concert or not, If you're in that neighbor neighborhood, you
can stop by and say hello. Me and Shelby Mitchell
from ninety five KSJ are going to be at Island

moving down to the wharf ticket gate number four with
(19:03):

Now there's a horrible story. I hate to even I
haven't wanted to talk about it on the radio because
it's such a horrible story, and you probably know the
story I'm about to mention to you. Well, maybe I won't.
I do have a caller. Maybe the caller will save
(19:46):
you from the horrific story. Hello caller.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Oh yeah, sir, I'm not too late.
Speaker 11 (19:53):
You was talking about yesterday with the local rivers in mobile.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
The Lucky Yes, sir, I can barely understand you here.
Speaker 10 (20:03):
Okay, can you hear me? Better?
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Now?
Speaker 10 (20:05):
Better?
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Better?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You called about the local wrestlers?
Speaker 11 (20:09):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (20:10):
Nobody? Did anybody mention Paul Brown he used to be
Uh he used to work with the Undertaker or working
with the Undertaker?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Did they mention who Paul Brown?
Speaker 10 (20:24):
He worked for the Undertaker? He was carried his coat
and carried the iron in front of him.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Uh, well, they mentioned the Paul Bearer. You're talking about
Paul Bearer? Yes, yes, yes, yes we did.
Speaker 11 (20:35):
We talked.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I mentioned Paul Bear. He's one of the few that
I actually got to meet and know.
Speaker 10 (20:41):
Yeah, he went a little flower. Sure?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah? Were you friends with him?
Speaker 10 (20:46):
I worked with him? Yeah, well years ago.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Was he a nice guy?
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (20:51):
He was great.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
He was great, you know he was he was super professional,
but he was great. Yeah. And also, y'all you mentioned
that old hippie boy yet, yes, a little getting the
little rough. Yes, well, his son used to own a
club up on Highway ninety and you and my drinking days.
(21:12):
I used to visit him and sit there and talk
to here and hear all his war stories. And he's
a real nice guy. I thought he was incredible.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah, he was very nice. I had a chance to
interview Mike the Hippie Boyett several times back when I
was doing TV in nineteen eighty nine and nineteen ninety.
He was he was a lot of fun to talk to.
But yeah, he one day he got really mad in
the ring and it turned into quite a brawl.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
Was awesome, yes, sir. And also I remember back in
the maybe just a little bit before your time, when
we only had Rabbit Ears and three stations yep, Saturday
Night I think it was WKRG at the time, did
wrestling right before he went off the air.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I remember that that's where I would see Cowboy Bob Kelly. Yeah,
and uh he thought a guy named that called himself
gorgeous George.
Speaker 11 (22:10):
Oh yeah, I was.
Speaker 10 (22:16):
Yeah. I grew up with all them guys, and I
thought they was, you know, I just they was really
entertaining and I'm sad to see they go away, me too.
And if I can change subject real quickly, it's like,
you know that the USS America that's been down here,
yes and everybody, and it's turned into a big old
tourist trap. Yeah, I'm just curious, you know, how come like,
(22:41):
you know, a battleship people hadn't tried to get something
like a funnel from them and put it out there
next to the B fifty two or something, you know,
be a nice little tourist trap thing.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Well I don't I don't know what how much all
that would how much effort and cost that would be,
but you're right, I mean people been very interested in it.
Speaker 10 (23:02):
Yeah, I didn't take taking two people by town that
came in from out of town down there to look
at it. You know, and there's and you know, there's
a spot right where you can get and get out
there and just standing on the pile right have your
picture taken and everything, and it's getting crowded out there.
(23:22):
So I just thought maybe those people are battleship, you know,
I mean, Kady could pay scrap for it or something,
you know, and that would be really cool to have
something else for people to come see and my.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Will indeed, it would be I'm sure day. Thank you
for listening, thank you for calling.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
Well, thank you for picking up the phone. And you
have a good weekend you too, sir.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Thank you very much for telling me that you got
to sit and talk with Mike the Hippie boy ed
about his stories. Uh, I've told the story before, a
few years before he passed. I was in a bank
waiting in line to go to the bank teller and
Mike the Hippie boy At was ahead of me in line,
(24:05):
and he got incredibly angry because he wanted to cash
a check with no form of ID at all, and
the people that work there they did not recognize him
as Mike the Hippie boy At, and he was I
thought he was going to tear the bank apart. But anyway,
he was a He was a wonderful guy, unless you
were trying to cast that check or wouldn't let me
(24:27):
do that. Two five one four seven nine two seven
two three is a telephone number that's two five to
one four seven nine two seven two three. Email address
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Before the caller called
in about the local wrestlers. I mentioned that there was
a horrible story. You probably know the one I'm talking about,
the story that's getting international attention out of bib County
(24:49):
in Alabama, where children were horribly, horribly abused in an
underground bunker. They have seven suspects. Just it's hard to
even talk about all the things that happened to these kids,
ages between three and ten. The only reason I'm bringing
it up here on the Uncle Henry Show after seeing
(25:09):
this story over the past week and all the horrible details.
When you hear about what we're done to these kids,
this is one of those instances where I have to
wonder to myself why we don't use the death penalty
(25:30):
in this kind of case. And I don't want to
be bloodthirsty about these kind of things. I know that
the death penalty being abolished around the world. I think
the United States, United States, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, I think Russia.
Only a few developed countries used the death penalty. But
(25:55):
something like this, if you've seen the details on this,
if you've done a deep dive on this, seeing what
these kids went through, I think society has to defend itself,
and I don't think life in prison is enough of
a defense. Yeah, there are, they're they're off the streets.
They're not going to do it to another kid, But
(26:19):
you really, this is something that people need to this
would I'm not I'm talking about death penalty where it's
public and the public can can witness it. I know
that sounds very old fashioned, very throwback, but we like
to think of ourselves as being very progressive and mankind
(26:41):
has has really ascended and we're better than that now.
I don't believe we are. If we're capable, people living
in bib County are capable of this, We're we're we're
human beings are just as capable as being as awful
as we've ever been in the history of humanity. And
(27:05):
this is one of those cases where I know the
death penalty, I guess Alabama law doesn't have it apply here,
but it really should. This is the kind of thing
unfortunately now take no comfort in it in a death
penalty there, but it ought to be public. These people
(27:26):
should be put to death. I hate to say something
like that, but they should be and it should be
public as a deterrent to send a message to all
the other animals masquerading as people. It says the Uncle
(27:55):
Henry Show here on news radio seven ten WNTM news
headlines in ten minutes and then more show, Hello.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Color, good email, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Burt, Burt, you are live on the radio.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
When you said what ought to happen to these serial
child molesters? I couldn't agree more, Henry. There was a
judge in Fort Smith, Arkansas, back in the Old West
days on the Oklahoma border who had a gallows big
enough to hang six at a time, like in the
Clinton Eastwood movie Hang Them High. Yeah, that's what ought
(28:35):
to happen to these kind of people. However, many was
in that ring that was doing that to these kids
should stand on the gallows like that in the morning
after they're convicted, all of them at the same time.
And Uncle Henry, whenever I see a post about John
Lennon on Facebook, I comment that the worst part of
the John Lennon story is that his killer is still
(28:56):
being fed and cared for by the taxpayers of New York.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yes, and that should.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Have been a public hanging in Central Park or someplace
where one hundred thousand people could have attended. Uncle Henry,
so help me. Somebody claiming to be Paul McCartney himself
like my comment, Oh really, okay, Britishers are supposed to
be above those kinds of sentiments. But he was John's
(29:25):
friend and co worker, and I can I can understand
if he really did feel the same way I do
about that.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, but you know this is Bert See for me,
this is more about feelings. You know, most of us
are just completely disgusted beyond words about what happened. This
is not this is for me, this is about self
defense as a people, as a society. It doesn't make
any sense. It doesn't make any sense to to to
(29:54):
put him in jail for the rest of their lives.
If we want to protect future children, you would make
a tremendous example so that we wouldn't have these things
happen again.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Exactly. And it's not necessarily for the rest of their lives.
Either they find ways to get out or their their
lunatic judges in the future that let them out. Hinckley
was was let out recently. Yeah, for me, that tried
to kill president. For Mary jay uh what was the name,
(30:28):
Mary Jane Moore or something like that, that tried to
kill Ford. A few weeks after the Manson girl did
all these people have gotten out on parole. The Manson
girls come up for parole just about every couple of years. Yes, sir,
handsome man tried to kill that killed Bobby Kennedy up
for parole every few years. These people should die for
(30:49):
their crimes. Uncle Henry and I agree. It's not just sentiment,
it's survival as a society. We need to have a
credible deterrent for these kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I'm with you all, Thank you very much for your
phone call. And again, it's not about being bloodthirsty. For me,
it's not about being blood thirsty or exacting some form
of revenge. It's all about protecting people in the future
from it. I got a call about something like this
(31:22):
back in about I think it was nineteen eighty three.
I got this phone call.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
Oh yes, I'll tell you. I say that life imprisonment
should be abolished. If they're going to give a.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
Person life in prison, I don't think we ought to
have it.
Speaker 12 (31:48):
We ought to cut that out all together. If the
crime is bad enough for life imprisonment, it's bad.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Enough to execute them. Because this country can I afford
to keep all these people for life in prison. It
ought to be cut out. If they have committed a
crime that is bad enough to give them life, it's
bad enough to execute him. And what's the reason for
us to let them set up in prison and keep
(32:17):
them alive all this time? No, indeed, I feel like people.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Ought to talk about that, all right, and we have
and we have, all right. I got about a minute
left in the segment.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Hello color hell Henry.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
How are you doing, snake Trapper? You've recovered from misgendering
the box turtle?
Speaker 11 (32:39):
I did, Uncle Henry? Man, I didn't. I just turned in,
Uncle Henry. Did you play this today?
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah? That was I think the first segment of the show,
maybe or the second.
Speaker 11 (32:49):
Okay, I will go back and listen to the podcast
on Henry. Is that all that burp? Uncle Henry? He
makes some good points. I mean, the death penalty is
a is a deterrent to make these people not do
these heinous crimes. Is that guy that I've just pled
guilty to the stabbing of the college students up north? Uh,
he's fearing death, Uncle hen And that's the reason he
pled guilty to all them hainous crimes. It is so
(33:12):
that he wouldn't have to face the death penalty. But yeah, man,
eye for an eye two for too. I truly believe
in that. But what a call tell you about Uncle Henry.
Our great friend Leah uh sent me a picture of
late yesterday evening of a large watermarksk and in her
pond on her property.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
And I just want to warn people out there that
the uh they are trying to cool down. They are
very active. This is uh like I said, I it's not
moxsin Zilla where my property is too far away from hers.
But it was a large mocks and so people beware
when you swimming in them creature streams.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
All right, Snake Trapper, thank you very much for your
snake report and phone call. I think I may play.
There may be one more snake tramper voicemail I've got
to get to before the end of the show. There
is more Uncle Henry show coming up after the news
break here on wnt M. This is the Uncle Henry
(34:26):
Show here on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. Thank you
for listening to the show and to me. Now coming
up this half hour, I'm going to talk to a
DJ from ninety six to one, the Rocket and TK
one one Crash. I've asked Crash to come in and
(34:46):
tell me about what they have special going on this weekend.
There's some kind of an Ozzy Osbourne tribute and I'll
tell you it's been a shock this week. This week
has been a shock finding out how many Ozzy Osbourne
fans listen to talk radio. How did that happen? Anyway,
(35:07):
we'll get to that that's coming on. I'm going to
do that in the next segment of the show. Right now.
I want to get to some voicemail and who knows
what else here in the first segment of this half
hour now. Earlier this week, I shared with you a
story from Fox ten about a stank. There's a very powerful,
unpleasant stank odor that was permeating Westmobile and some portions
(35:33):
of Midtown Mobile. I don't know if it was Monday
night Tuesday night, but a lot of people were upset
about a stank, some type of mysterious stink. And this
prompteday call from the Snake Trapper.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Hey a rand Snake Trapper, Hey man, I was listening
to your program after six o'clock yesterday where there were
news reports of a foul older out in West mobile.
Speaker 11 (36:03):
Yes, over, Henry.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
I'm not sure what these folks were smelling, but I
can tell you at the intersection of Snow Road and
Tanner Williams. You go through there, and there is a
very horrible, pungent smell there.
Speaker 11 (36:20):
Henry.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Now I'm pausing there just to say, first of all,
I appreciate the Snake Trapper calling in about this particular stank,
but I'm proud that the Uncle Henry Show can bring
you this kind of vital information about living in South Alabama. Now,
there's other shows out there that do outstanding jobs, that
(36:42):
interview local politicians and stay politicians and just do wonderful work.
But where are you going to find discussions of where
it might stank? I mean, is there's a place for this,
And I'm glad that it's here on the Uncle Henry Show.
So I'm very proud to be able to present this
to you. Thank you for receiving the stank information. And
(37:03):
let's find out. So Snake Treppor's talking about a horrible
stank at the intersection of Snow and Tanner Williams Road.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
At the intersection of Snow Road and Tanner Williams, Yes,
you go through there and there is a very horrible,
pungent smell bear me, but I'll tell you.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
Exactly what that is. That was a skunk hit in
that area.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Hiit skunk?
Speaker 8 (37:32):
Now. Like I said, I'm not sure what these folks
are smelling, but for those of you that do not
know what a hit skunk smells like, it is horrible.
And you're getting this information from someone that has been
sprayed by skunk. Now, it is very hard to get
(37:53):
that smell off of you once you've been sprayed by skunk.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
I'm sorry to pause this again, but I've just been
as I'm listening to this, I'm reflecting on skunks, and
it occurs to me that back when I was a child,
there was a lot of skunk talk. Skunks were a
popular animal back when I was a child. Now, we
didn't have him as pets, but they were talked about.
(38:18):
The Children of America knew what skunks were, and I
guess part of that was because pepe Le Pew was
very popular when I was a child. Pepi la pu
was a movie star. I don't know if he was
only on TV or if he was in the movies,
but Pepi la Pew, the very romantic amorous skunk that
(38:41):
was trying to romance a cat. If I remember the
premise of the cartoons correctly, he was a skunk that
was trying to hook up with it to use this
slang term hook up with a cat? Is that correct?
So my generation lots of skunk talk and respecting skunks
and things like that. Do modern children know about skunks?
(39:03):
Just I don't know. Do they? Do modern children know
about skunks and how they want to date cats?
Speaker 6 (39:12):
The way to do it?
Speaker 8 (39:13):
Ogaheada and I can remember about I guess it's been
about eight years ago when it happened to me. I
actually went up and when Dixie to purchase about a
gallon and a half of buttermilk. That's right, Ogaheandry. You
pretty much have to bathe in buttermilk. Now why that works?
(39:35):
I have no idea. It is a method that my
grandmother told me many many years ago.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
See, back in the day, you needed to know how
to do this. I guess nowadays you don't need to
know anyway. So you went into a grocery store to
buy buttermilk, and you went in there while you were
covered in skunk stank? Is that right?
Speaker 8 (39:57):
And it is the only way I know to get
that smell off of you. So what these folks are
smelling out there.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
I do not know.
Speaker 8 (40:06):
But if you smelt that in the area of Tanner
Williams and Snow Road.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
That's exactly what it is. So yeah, it is a
horrible smell.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
And anyway, Elah hen Ra, I hope federal help out
with folks that are going through that area and think
that the CIA or the FBI or even our federal
government is leaking something that will poison us.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Sorry, it's just an old skunk that had been here.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
You have a good day, my friend, Snake Trapper, thank
you for this valuable insight, this valuable information on skunk stank.
We've talked a lot on this show about snakes, of course,
with Snake Trapper a variety of snakes. We've talked about possums.
Snake Trapper came in to today Possum Show once. However,
we have not talked in depth amount skunks. This is
(41:00):
a future avenue of discussion for the Uncle Henry Show.
Moving forward now, before we go to break here on
Deon Clamberg Show, time for a quick story. Alabama Senator
Tommy Tuberville is saying that the Space Command, the United
States Space Command will be moving to Alabama. Now here's
(41:22):
the story from WSFATV up in Montgomery at Stepsister Station
to Foxtown. I believe the reporter lady is named Sally Pitts.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
Senator Tommy Taberville says Huntsville remains the best location for
Space Command. He says he has spent several hours this
week on the phone and in the Oval Office with
President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He says
they've been discussing moving Space Command to Alabama. He said
the question is not if, but when Space Command we'll
(41:53):
move to Redstone Arsenal. Taberville says they're excited to seal
the deal, but want to do it the right way.
Speaker 13 (42:00):
When the move happens, it's going to save the American
taxpayer at least a half a billion dollars good. More important,
they will receive in more lethal, effective and secure Space
Command when it's behind the fence at Redstone. So I'm
confident we'll get this done very soon.
Speaker 5 (42:20):
Temperville also addressed the FBI transfer of hundreds of agents
to Redstone Arsenal. Temperville says five hundred employees are in
the process of moving.
Speaker 13 (42:28):
My understanding is the ones that have moved in are
living all over the area. They're enjoying it. They're glad
they moved to Huntsville out of Washington, d C. And
we're glad to have them. But there will be other
people that will also move in from the FBI, so
we've got a perfect place, perfect area.
Speaker 5 (42:44):
Tapperville says another five hundred FBI employees should move by
the end of the year. Sally pits WSFA twelve News.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Right good, all right, and I'm sure they would. There's
a lot to love about living in Alabama. All right,
back with more, u cle Henry continues after the break.
Let's take the break.
