Speaker 1 (00:56):

(01:16):

today with you, so many just great, uh fascinating news
items to to chew up and try and figure out.
But before we get to that, before we get to

(02:04):
all these news items, I've had a I've had a
difficulty in my life. Now you've you've heard about my marriage,
perhaps as a as a listener to this show, you
may have heard in the past couple of weeks I
did get married to a lovely woman. And I hate
to bring this to the Uncle Henry Show, but I'm really,

(02:25):
I really don't know what to think of this. This morning,
me and my new wife, we got into our first
heated argument. Yes, we had our first heated argument as
a married couple this morning. It happened this morning, and
I'm really struggling here because I believe that I am

(02:48):
in the right. I believe that I have the right
attitude on this, and I believe that she is. She's
just she is not right on this issue. And I'm
sorry to bring a public I know you're thinking, why
can't I leave you just bringing up public? Well, I'm
bringing a public because I want to make sure that
I'm right on this. Now. What happened is this, I

(03:09):
was taking my lovely new wife to her doctor's appointment
this morning and had to be there by seven forty five,
so we were out in morning traffic, rush hour traffic
around seven thirty in the morning, going to her doctor's appointment.
My new wife, she averages about two point five doctor's
appointments a week, which I think for her age group

(03:32):
is about right. So we were driving, driving to the
doctor's office, and was that a red light behind somebody
in a white bmwsuv And the light turned green, light

(03:52):
turned green, and the person in front of us, they
just didn't move, They did not move. They just sat there.
Seconds ticked by on the clock, each second feeling like
a minute or more. Because you know what it's like
to be in rush hour traffic. You want to go,
you want to get where you're going, especially in the morning.

(04:16):
The seconds were ticking by. Other cars were going past
us in the opposite direction, just enjoying the freedom of
their green line. They had a green light, they were
in the green zone, they were heading out, and I
was sitting there behind this person at a green light.
They were just sitting there. And so after what felt

(04:42):
like an eternity, I honked the horn. I honked the
horn to let the person know. And I was imagining
that they were watching, I don't know, some some cat
video on their phone, or they were writing whatever they
thought they needed to write on Facebook, some statement of there.

(05:02):
They're not going to take it anymore, whatever it is
people do on Facebook. So I honked the horn, and
my wife she got so mad at me. She got
so mad at me at honking the horn. She says
to me, this is what she says to me. She says,
that is so rude. She says, that is so rude.

(05:25):
It's the morning. You're supposed to be nice in the morning.
That's what I was told. Now, this person in front
of us was not being nice at all. They were
blocking the traffic. There were cars behind us. They were
also inflamed. But she was angry at me for honking
the horn. And then as we began this very heated discussion,

(05:48):
she told me that she didn't believe that I should
ever honk the horn. Yes, yes, she said she didn't
think cars should come with horns because they were rude,
that car horns themselves were rude, and you should never
ever honk a horn. That yes, And so I told her, no,
this is this is I'm helping this person. This person
was in front of us, they were sitting there. They

(06:10):
want they originally had wished to drive through the intersection.
They didn't just want to sit there. They just didn't know.
They didn't know any better, and I was helping them
by letting them know that it was time to go,
so that their lives could move forward, and everybody behind
them could move forward, and all of us wouldn't resent
the person in front of us. I said, I'm doing
them a favor. I'm doing them a favor by honking

(06:33):
the horn so they know that they can go. No,
she said, you're not know you're being rude. She says,
it's not even eight o'clock in the morning. You're being rude.
And we got into talking about car horns, and I said,
car horns are important. What if? What if? Some what if?

(06:54):
A how can I describe? What if a really unintelligent
person walks right out in front of me? Isn't it
better to honk the horn so they know not to
jump out in front of the car? Am I not
helping them by honking the horns so that they can
avoid getting crushed by my vehicle going forward? There's a
lot of applications for the car horn. What if I'm

(07:14):
picking somebody up at their house, Am I not allowed
to honk the horn and let them know them in
the driveway? No, she's Uh, She's told me she never
wants to hear me honk that horn again. I've already
I'm into I'm two weeks into this. I'm two weeks
into this, and I've gotten ane ultimatum on the car horn.
Now I'm asking you, Am I wrong? I mean? Is it?

(07:37):
Is it rude to honk the horn? I didn't know?
I mean, is this new? I come from a generation
of honkers. We did. We honked, sometimes celebratory honks. You
remember that. Sometime it was celebratory. Sometimes it was a
safety issue, get out of the road. Sometimes it was
just a matter of courtesy. Hey, the light turned green,

(07:59):
it's a Curtis honked. So anyway, am I right? Am
I wrong? Two? Five one four seventy nine two seven
two three the telephone number. I'm about to go into
break here, Hello caller.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Hey Henry, how you doing?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I'm doing good? Am I right to honk the horn?

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Well?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah? But I mean, what what does right and wrong?
I've been married twenty almost twenty five years. Right and
wrong doesn't enter into it, Uncle Henry. It really doesn't matter,
you know, whether you're right she's wrong, because she's never wrong.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
All right, Look, hang on Steve, God bless you. Hang on,
you have some insight on this. Hang on, I've got
to go to break. I don't know what am I
gonna do? What am I gonna do if I can't
honk the horn? Is there some type of flashing light
that I can get?

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Seven ten timesaver traffic from the main Street flooring.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Uncle Henry Show. News Radio seven to ten WNTM. It's
five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes from
Fox ten and Fox Radio National News. If you just
tuned in due to your lack of interest or lack
of initiative. I mentioned in the last segment of the show,

(09:36):
I got into a big argument with my new wife
this morning over me honking my horn in traffic. She
says that she told me there's that I should never
ever honk it ever for any reason. Now, Steve, thank
you for holding so, Steve, have you ever had this

(09:57):
issue with your wife and all your years of marriage?

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, My wife tries to calm me down and in
all the time because quite oftentimes my my my my
horn honking is if you make me mad enough to
honk the horn at you, you're probably going to get
a gesture. Also and in this day and age, it's
not really smart to do that because even just honking

(10:24):
a horn in this day and age, with everybody just
their their impulse control is at such a you know,
such a load that just honking the horn at somebody,
even if they're doing the stupidest thing on the road,
you can't get a person shot in this day and age.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
You know, now, I didn't think of it from that standpoint.
She may have been trying to save my life from
the uh. Even though the crime stats are down allegedly,
still somebody might take a shot at me for honking
the horn.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Well, it just really depends on who, Uncle Henry. I mean,
if some but is behind me and they honk their
horn at me and I'm not paying attention, i look
up and I notice the light screen. I'm like, ooh,
sorry about that. But other people are so indignant that
you would dare dare to honk the horn to try

(11:17):
and tell them what to do or guide them in
any way shape me. They don't need you to do
nothing for them, to them about them or anything like that,
and they'll get so indignant on just like you said,
trying to help them out. But it may be I don't.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
Know, you know.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
The the way I look at it in a lot
of cases with with you know, me being married for
so long, is that my life has kept me out
of a lot of scrapes and a lot of trouble.
And it's, you know, it's my nature. My nature will
go find that trouble a lot of times. You know, Man,

(11:57):
you not to not do that, you know, And uh,
it's you know, you got to choose the heels that
you die on. I don't think that, you know. I mean,
you explain to hey, look, you know, if I'm bearing
down on somebody in there, you know I can't stop
and my brakes aren't working or something like that. Guess what, lady,

(12:17):
I'm a honk the horn, okay, But other than that,
I'll try to reduce my horn honk. And if you're
in the car, another good solution is is that if
you find that your wife's complaining about things you do
behind the wheel, SLATTERR drive whenever y'all go anywhere.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Well, I normally do, but this was a special situation.
She's had to go to the eye doctor recently, so
I'm doing the driving. Maybe this will change once I'm
being the one driven.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
But I think you find Uncle Henry. I mean, you know,
I think I think everything be all right, just you know,
try to keep believe it or not. The thing that
annoys my wife, one of them things that annoys her
the most is the sound of an opening folding knife. Oh,
the flicking of an opening folding knife.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
All right, one.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Maybe it's because I do it too much, but you
know that is just like nails on the chunk board
than my wife. So I've had to cut out a
lot of my fidgeting with my.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Knives, all right, will Steve, I'm gonna try and get
a few more calls on here before the break, But
thank you so much for your insight on this very
valuable I'm glad you kind of calmed me down a
little bit, Steve. Thank you very much for your phone

couple of nights ago, that caller retired from their job,

Henry, in my entire career, I never had an accident,
not on any state highway, not on any national highway,
not anywhere. I don't know how I did it.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
I had to be careful.

Speaker 9 (17:20):
I enjoyed what I was doing.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
But I don't have to do it anymore.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Now.

last driving of the the big rig and now he
has retired. He no longer drives the big tractor trailer rigs.

Speaker 11 (19:36):
Well, congratulations LD on your retirement. Yes, however, I think
he may have made a error. Hell well, he discussed
how many pounds a freight he has delivered.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Correct, No, he said, uh, six twenty seven trips. Uh,
he said thirty six million miles.

Speaker 11 (20:04):

discussing how many towns is in is in his car
when he's driving his family somewhere.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Oh oh oh.

Speaker 11 (20:19):
Okay, okay. Well I confused when when he said six thousands.
You know, I thought he may have been referring to
how many pounds is in his car when he's driving
his his family somewhere. Okay, all right, all right, Well
I'm sorry about that.

three to call the unc Lenary Show. Hello, caller, very
uncle j D j D. What is on your mind today? Uncle?

Speaker 4 (21:02):
I was gonna call you and tell you what my
opinion was about your wife and blowing the horn.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Please please tell me your thoughts on this.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
After being married for twenty plus years. Yes, I've discovered
the hard way several times that anything that upsets your wife,
try to avoid it at all costs, because what is
that old saying a happy wife means a happy life?

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yes, indeed. So now this is your way of telling
me that I'm not going to be honking my car
horns anymore.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Now if you're by yourself, and uh, you know, I
haven't honked. I can't remember the last time I honked
my horn at somebody. I think I was in the
drive through at McDonald's and your mother was blocking the
drive way.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
No what, no, wait, no, what are you doing? Dad?
Gum it dated? Look, don't let now. LD's retired and
you think you've got to pick up you've got to
pick that up. That's sick. That is sick. All right,
I'm that's enough. I'm not having any of that, JD.
I'm not having any of that. You can you can
take that kind of filth talk off the program. You

(22:15):
were trying to give me an actual, what I thought
was a meaningful insight on married life and how to
relate to between a man and a woman and their
their marital relationship and in handling these disagreements, and then
you ruined your call. You ruined your call two five
one or seven nine two seven two three the telephone

(22:37):
number here on the Oak Clinton Show.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
Hello caller, Hey, oklenter, this is Eric.

Speaker 8 (22:43):
Eric.

Speaker 7 (22:44):
Yes, yeah, I unfortunately I have to agree.

Speaker 10 (22:49):
Uh, you're probably in the right to hunt, but HiT's
ross the hassle.

Speaker 12 (22:56):
You know.

Speaker 10 (22:56):
The something that I've learned to do is just let
my wife drive, you know, because she could decided me every.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
Time I'm driving.

Speaker 10 (23:08):
Uh, and it's just it's just easier to let her drive,
and uh, that way, I have no houses.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Well, now, what am I supposed to do if I
if I let my wife drive? What am I supposed
to do when I when she's driving?

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Well, yeah, just.

Speaker 10 (23:26):
Kick back and enjoy being the passage.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Well, I don't want to. I don't I'm not gonna
don't tell me I'm gonna have to start doing needle
point or something I don't want to be. I don't
want to sit over there crocheting or anything like that.

Speaker 10 (23:39):
No, no, no, no, but you know, at least at
least it's you know, you know, I see I can
include your rights. It's always gonna be a losing battle.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
Okay, I understanding you haven't been married too long that's right.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
So yeah, you don't.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
You don't want to start off on her wrong foot.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
All right, well, look, I thank you, thank you for this.
This this helps. You're helping me understand that the realities
of married married life.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yeah, it's uh.

Speaker 10 (24:11):
Can it can turn sour real quick?

Speaker 4 (24:13):
You The best thing to do is, you know, say
I'm sorry, honey, I love you. I tried not to
do it again.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
All right, Well, thank Eric. I'll try and memorize that
for the next time. All right, thank you, Eric. I
appreciate very much your phone call.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Hello Color, Hey, Jimmy the Economist.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Jimmy the Economists, you're live on the radio.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah, just listening through the holisification of America from these
last two callers.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
How about that?

Speaker 4 (24:47):
What happened?

Speaker 1 (24:49):
All the men are telling me not to be a
man anymore?

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Jimmy, Just yield, Just yield to the woman.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
Yeah yeah, well maybe that's why things I'm so screwed
up in our world these days, because all the men
just yield to women.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
That might be.

Speaker 5 (25:07):
I would disagree with both of those guys. Throw that
those opinions out in the window.

Speaker 8 (25:12):
Do what you want.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
She married you because you're you, not because she wants
you to be somebody else.

Speaker 9 (25:20):
So you're so, and if expressing myself to that is
the car who gets in the car and says, Okay, you're.

Speaker 8 (25:27):
A better driver.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
A male talking to his life. You're a better driver
than me. You change tires better than me, you change
old better than me. You're better at cars. You go
take the realm of the car. How many times does
that happen in this world?

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, it's it's every caller that's called in today's told
me to turn the car over to her and be quiet.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
No, when she starts changing the whole of the car,
you can turn it over to her. Until then a
man rules the car. Honk or no, honk, whatever you want.

Speaker 8 (26:00):
What is wrong with this world?

Speaker 1 (26:04):
And there he goes elegantly and in unmanly way, he
hung up on himself. He determined that the call was over.
There was no need for any pleasantries. There wasn't like
a minute of goodbyes and take care of each other
and on it just elegant hanging up the phone as
a testosterone filled mail that probably honks his horns numerous

(26:26):
times a day before even leaves the driveway. Look, not
enough time for another call until the break, but I
do have time for more calls after the break, should
you choose to call the Uncle Henry Show here on

some other city, some exciting place. I don't know what
radio is like in Andalusia, but you could use the

add us Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. This past Friday, I played
a voicemail from longtime caller Bufford about the mayor's race.

(29:13):
Bufford is a Spiro fan, and he was he was
talking about a city worker he ran into.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
That was.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't remember exactly what he said about the city worker,
but he was He was implying at his phone call
that there were some city workers that were worried about
Connie Hudson becoming mayor. That is what Bufford was saying
in his phone call, that there were some city workers
worried about Connie Hudson becoming mayor. And he said it

(29:44):
was a woman that he talked to, and he claimed
that women. This was Beufford saying it, not me. Bufford
was saying that a lot of women don't like working
for other women. So after that voicemail was on the
show Friday, and again Bruford has already said he is
for Spiro. I got a call from a Connie Hudson

(30:05):
supporter that wanted to wanted to take up for Connie.

Speaker 8 (30:09):
Hey, uncle Henrews, Okay, I'm calling to respond to a
late by day beautiful focol.

Speaker 9 (30:22):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (30:23):
Look, you know where Spirow wins the mayor's raise, I'm
okay with that he would probably do pretty well. But
to go after Connie Hudson like he is, I don't
understand that Connie Hudson's done a lot of wonderful things.
Was his community. I mean, I think the fact that

(30:50):
we were watching page Man on national television at the Olympics,
Connie Hudson and making swimming and sports, opening up the
soccer fields, doing all you know, the Holls Mill Road expansion.

(31:11):
Connie Hudson's done a lot of good things for our communities.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
My pause, briefly pausing, Rtie, apologize for pausing. You mentioned soccer.
I forgot about that. Well. Does somebody need to ask
all the mayoral candidates their their campaign position on soccer?
Because there's a lot You've noticed, there's a lot of
people locally that just have a burning desire for more

(31:37):
soccer fields. So I guess we should ask every mayoral
candidate their position on soccer.

Speaker 8 (31:44):
So if even one of those two candidates win, I'm
okay with that, And I want to say, why were
so far enough about it? He knows fearal wins. I'm
who knows, I might go. You got what I'm worried
about is a Democrat winner. And there's a whole list

(32:10):
of things that over the last four or five years,
maybe even more over the last decade, Democrat mayors across
the United States aren't nice. So uh, I hope on
next mayors, either Connie Hudson or Spiro that'd be great.

(32:37):
We'll mobile will be five if we get a Democrat.
I'm not sure, so sure. Thank you, Mincle Henry. Have
a good weies in.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Hey, Artie, thank you for the voicemail. Voicemail number two
five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two
five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. Speaking of
having a Democrat mayor, art he Lanyap. On their website
today lamyacmobile dot com, they had the story that former

(33:09):
United States Senator Doug Jones has endorsed Democrat Barbara Drummond
for Mobile mayor. So you're worried about a Democrat mayor
in Mobile Barbara Drummond getting the endorsement of senator former
Senator Doug Jones there for mayor, and Lanyap says that

(33:33):
in their story, they say, the Barbara Drummonds campaign has
teased exciting endorsements coming in the next few weeks, So
we may have more more Democrats, more leftists and socialist
types endorsing her in the next few weeks. We'll keep
our eye on it for you. RT. All right, there

(33:55):
is more Uncle Henry Show to come after the news break.
We have news headlines coming up and then more show
on News Radio seven ten WNTM, The Uncle Henry Show,

(34:31):
it says, The Uncle Henry Show on News Radio seven
ten WNTM, and I thank you, thank you for listening.
I appreciate it very very much. In this half hour
of show, I'm going to get to a few news items,
also some voicemails from listeners. I'm going to start off
with a story about hemp in the state of Alabama.

(34:59):
I've not been following hemp lately, but the Alabama legislature
passed a bill regulating hemp in Alabama, changing what is
legally allowed to be sold in certain stores, and this
has got a lot of people that sell hemp products very,
very upset in the state of Alabama. Now, I don't

(35:22):
know if Governor Ivy has signed it yet as of
this broadcast, or maybe she signed it a few hours ago.
I don't know, but it's ready for her to sign
this legislation, and a lot of the business owners that
sell hemp derived products in Alabama are very upset about this,
and there was a protest, yes, a pro hemp protest

(35:44):
recently here in the state of Alabama. I've got a
story so that you and I can learn about this
from w SFATV in Montgomery. They are a stepsister station
to Fox ten. Let's listen together as they explain what
these business owners are upset about and exactly what the
legislation is going to do.

Speaker 13 (36:06):
Tests are making one final push to stop House Bill
four forty five from officially becoming law. The bill would
significantly restrict and further regulate the SLA hemp derived cannabis products,
which would call force shops to close its doors. And
it now waits for Governor Ivy's signature, but canna protest
convince her to veto the bill. Car Simon Schusler was

(36:27):
in downtown Montgomery where protesters gathered today.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
And so protesters were in Montgomery, And I don't know
if that was Sunday or Saturday that there was a
Now would you on Mother's Day? Would you go out
and protest for dope smoking?

Speaker 14 (36:41):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (36:42):
How would you? Maybe your mom would approve of that.
I don't know. My mother would not be happy if
it happened on Mother'sday. My mother would not be happy
with me. If I said, Mom, I'm sorry, I can't
be with you on Mother's Day, I've got to go
protest for some type of hemp smoking. If you just
I'll catch up with you, tomw my mother would not
be happy with this, all right, Let's let's find out

(37:03):
what this is about.

Speaker 12 (37:05):
These protesters are desperate to stop a bill that would
completely reshape the hemp industry in Alabama. HB four four
five is a stroke of the governor's pen away from
being law. Please, Governor Ivy, listen to the people of Alabama.
They are speaking to you. They are begging and pleading.

(37:25):
The bill bands any hemp derived product unless it is consumable.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Any all right, So consumable would be what that you
would eat?

Speaker 12 (37:38):
It is that begging and pleading. The bill bands any
hemp derived product unless it is consumable. That means no
smoking or weight products. The goods that are available would
need to contain ten milligrams of THHC per serving. The
ABC Board would license businesses and enforce compliance.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
By the way, they're lowering them, so you wouldn't be
able to smoke it at all, at least not what
you wouldn't They wouldn't be able to sell it to
you now, I don't know. Maybe if you got it
from some other state, maybe you still could, but you
wouldn't be able to smoke it. These hint products, And
notice they are lowering the amount of the THC stuff

(38:23):
that goes into gummies and things like that. You know,
one thing about the Alabama legislature. I noticed this when
they were doing the medical marijuana. They are trying. They're
doing whatever they can to make sure that anybody that
buys any of this products doesn't actually enjoy them. They're
trying to they're trying, Yes, they're trying to take the

(38:44):
enjoyment out of it. So you and I'm sure it's
for your own good, right.

Speaker 14 (38:50):
There has been rumors by some of the legislators about
children having access to some of these products. But we've
asked for the quantitative data on the or just some
documentation to show us that that really happened, and they
have not replied to any of our emails.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
The owner and I'm sorry, that was a lady, one
of the protesters. And you can't see video because we
don't have we don't have video and radio yet. Yeah,
I know, we're working on it, but we still have
not figured out how to do video on radio. But
we're working on it. But the lady, this was a protester.
She's trying to get the governor from signing a bill

(39:28):
into law. And I want to describe her to you.
She appears to be a mature woman, and I hope
I don't offender when I say she looks like she'd
be over the age of forty, and she's wearing a
hat on her head, that is, it's a black hat
covered with a pattern of what looked to be marijuana

(39:52):
or hemp leaves, and then buttons all stuck all over
the top of the hat. And then there's a green
necklace that I'm going to assume has some type of
hemp thing on it. Now, if you're trying to convince somebody,
if you're trying to convince a governor to change their

(40:14):
mind on something, do you think they're going to listen
to you more because you're wearing a a pot leaf hat?

Speaker 5 (40:23):
Do that?

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Do you think that lends credibility? Now, if you were
to if you were to dress up like in business
business clothes, do you think maybe the governor would pay
more attention. I'm just I don't know that. I don't
know the answer to this. I'm just wondering, if you're
trying to influence what a governor is going to do,
do you think a governor is going to pay closer

(40:44):
attention to what you say and change their mind if
you're wearing a black hat with dope leafs all over it,
I just do are they are they thinking it through?
I just want to are you thinking it through? Or
are you? Are you using the product before you go protest?

Speaker 14 (41:03):
I just just curious ATA on that or just some
documentation to show us that that really happened. And they
have not replied to any of our emails.

Speaker 15 (41:14):
The owner of the CBD Place in Montgomery is extremely
concerned with the bill banning smokable THCHC. He says that
accounts for up to seventy five percent of his business.

Speaker 16 (41:26):
I might have to close down to open a bar
because the poison that's alcohol is legal, whereas the plant
that grows naturally out of the ground is not.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
For now he now wait a minute, now, see they're
not selling actual marijuana. They're selling some It's some federal
loophole where they're selling because marijuana is not legal in Alabama.
This is a The product itself is legal, but the
state is just changing who is allowed to sell it.
I guess so, I don't know if all right? Anyway,

(42:02):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry again. And this man that is
talking is wearing a big tied ed eyed T shirt again,
is does that help? Does that help you convince the
governor when you're wear your tie die so down to.

Speaker 16 (42:15):
Open a bar because the poison that's alcohol is legal,
whereas the plant that grows naturally out of the ground
is not.

Speaker 12 (42:27):
For now, he and the dozens of other business owners
in Alabama that rely on HELMP can do nothing but
anxiously wait and prepare to adapt. Simon Schustler, WSFA twelve News, Montgomery.

Speaker 13 (42:40):
Okay, and if the bill is signed, he will go
to an into effect on January first of next year.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Okay, so goes into effect January first next year. I'm
trying to figure out why the governor wouldn't sign it,
because she just just I'm guessing she probably is. She's
probably gonna sign it because I've never se to wear
a dope leaf hat or anything like that at any
official press conference. All right, back after the break, the

(43:08):
Uncle Henry Show continues. Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven
ten WNTM, New headlines coming up in ten minutes. Before

(43:31):
we get to those new headlines on WNTM, a little
bit more Uncle Henry Show. I've got some voicemails from listeners.
Don't want to get to voicemail number two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six. I've got messages stacked up.
I need to make sure I get to them before
they're way too out of date to play. Now. The

(43:53):
snake trapper has called in. During all of the rain,
We've had a lot of rain over the past numerous days.
Are on the Guff Coast snake trapper telling us that
the rain will be affecting snake activities.

Speaker 9 (44:07):
Hey Hendry, snake trapper. Hey, man, looks like we're having a.

Speaker 7 (44:11):
Wash out on Greenley.

Speaker 9 (44:13):
Yes, sir, I believe it rained started probably around midnight
last night and it continues the rain this morning.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
So I called that a wash out on Glendry.

Speaker 9 (44:23):
Okay, just tell people to be aware because the snake
activity this year is very heavy and too much rain,
they will seek higher ground.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
All right, now, this, I'm sorry for pausing him. Let's
just remember what he said. Keep this in mind. The
snake activity this year is very heavy. This is according
to an expert, the trapper of snakes snake trappers. So
the snake activity is heavy and they're gonna be seeking
higher ground with all this rain.

Speaker 9 (44:54):
Are your cars, your patios, your bushes, they will be
getting in bush, So just kind of be aware, okay,
to know that they are being driven out of their
little pits. So just be careable. But uh, one thing
I worry about the most is these dead gum drivers

(45:17):
in mobile, Uncle Henry, my commute into work this morning,
My goodness, Uncle Henry. One thing I've learned about mobile.

Speaker 8 (45:26):
The people here.

Speaker 9 (45:27):
Don't know how to drive in the rain. I'm wondering
if it's because mobile's been snake bit ha ha ha,
no pun. Intending you have a good day, my.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Friend Stak Trevor, thank you for your voicemail voicema number
two five one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six to reach the
Uncle Henry show voicemail. We've talked for many, many generations
in this town about people in mobile losing the ability

(46:01):
to drive once rain hits their vehicle. We don't know
why it happens. We don't know why mobilions lose the
ability to drive when it rains, but this has been
documented throughout the generations. When it does rain, in this town.
It is a little more dangerous to drive and roads.
The first rain after a long drought is always very

(46:23):
rough driving around here. So Snake Trapper, is it just
the rain or is it a combination of rain and
people wanting to post on Facebook or Instagram while they're driving.
I think a lot of that is also involved. Let's
see that was that call? I have a call from
Friday morning. I was unable to get to this call

(46:47):
Friday afternoon. I had a lot of phone calls, but
let me get to this. This is from sixty eight
year old Chris and West Locksley calling this past Friday
morning to the Uncle Henry Show voicemail.

Speaker 8 (47:00):
Old tunk Uncle.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
It is a beautiful Friday morning. Just had a light
shower here in west Locksley and the air smells so
fresh and clean. And we managed to get the rest
of the yard cut yesterday. Arts back from Thailand. So
after I had cut the back a couple of days ago,
I had him put him on the front and the

(47:22):
side he got that took care of. So now we're
just waiting on the rain and ford to bake. The
grass grow again and the pollen will be back and
all that other good stuff, and then it'll rain again
and clean the air once again.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Uck, you know that I believe that it wasn't this
in a Disney movie. Isn't this the circle of life
as taught by the Lion King's Lawn service Man?

Speaker 3 (47:51):
I sure, I'm looking forward to this afternoon show so
much so that I think that I may I may
skip one of the sports programs that I listened to
good and just dig up a podcast. I might start
with Last Mondays and go from there in the meantime, roll.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Tiede, huh, roll tied Roe. Thank you so much for
the roll tide. I always appreciate roll tides to the program.
And to me, two five to one two one six,
nineteen seventy six is the number to leave a message.
Two five to one two one six, nineteen seventy six
to leave a message for the Uncle Henry Show. Now,
before we're out of time, real quick, I saw a dumb,

(48:33):
a dumb cruk story that was on the Gulf Coast.
This was out of golf Port. A woman went to
rob a golf Port dollar general. The alleged crime occurred
over the weekend. The police there say that this lady

(48:53):
entered the business brandished to firearm, demanded money, got into
a physical altercation with an employee of the Dollar General
before fleeing the business with an undisclosed amount of money.
And then the woman came back to the business later

(49:15):
to ask about her phone because she dropped her phone
during the robbery, and we can't modern Americans can't leave.
They just can't do anything without their smartphone. So she
returned to the scene of the alleged crime because she
left her smartphone, and she was arrested, taken into custody,

(49:36):
one can of arm robbery, one hundred thousand dollars bond.
So dumb crook story out of Gulf Port, all right,
out of time for this edition of the Uncle Henry Show.
Thank you so much for listening to the Uncle Leader Show.
I appreciate it very very much. As they say in Sarahland,
have a good one, and as they say in Theodore,

(49:56):
take it easy.
