What is happening here? What ishappening to a country? God almighty,

(01:03):
here on news Radio seven ten wntM. Thank you so much for listening
to the Uncleanry Show. I amvery grateful, grateful to have a job,
a job that is indoors. Thatwas a wish of my parents.
They wanted me to graduate from highschool and get a job indoors and that

(01:26):
was the only bar that was set. Well, here we are together on
the LC Leanry Show. If you'dlike to join the show, you can.
If you want to bring something up, you can. Two five one
four seven nine two seven two threeis a telephone number. That's two five
one four seven nine two seven twothree email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot
Com many people. There's, ofcourse, so many things to get to,

(01:48):
and we'll get to some of themas the show proceeds. But I'm
still encountering people, still encountering peoplethat are talking a lot about Jimmy Buffett,
their affection for Jimmy Buffett, theirdistress that Jimmy Buffett is no longer
on the planet doing Jimmy Buffett stylethings. Many people talking about Jimmy Buffett.

(02:13):
In fact, later this evening,right after six thirty, on news
radio seven ten WNTM, I'm goingto be talking with a board certified dermatologist,
doctor Thomas Bender, about the typeof skin cancer that Jimmy Buffett had,
and he's going to outline it andtell us about it. It's very
dangerous, difficult to treat skin cancerthat Jimmy Buffett had. Now, all

(02:34):
of this leading to a message,I received a message from a long time
caller of the Uncle Henry Show.I hadn't heard from him a while.
Now. You may not remember VirgilLLLC, but Virgil call has called through
the past several years off and on. Infamously, he told us how many

(02:55):
perhaps blue ribbons are too many plampsBlue ribbons. He posed a question,
I think I've had too many pastoryribbings, So the question would be how
many are too many? How many? Perhaps blue ribbings are too many?
That was a question that listeners andcallers of the Uncle Henry Show have talked

(03:20):
about from time to time. Andthe answer, according to Virgil, who
eighteen okay, eights, yeah,eighteen eighteen, is that if you're wondering,
the correct answer is eighteen. That'stoo many. Seventeen for him,

(03:44):
not too many, but eighteen toomany. Now Virgil has phoned in with
an idea about Jimmy Buffett, honoringJimmy Buffett because Virgil is still just strongly
affected by the passing of Jimmy Buffett. Glad are you doing? Son?

(04:04):
There's a Virgil seats. Look here, man, I'm still in mourning,
grieving, if you will, thedeath of one. Get the buffs,
yep, ye bout iconic yea nameagain, xplain But man, I'm here

(04:34):
at Hearts. I just wandering,man. Just they made us take down
the h right here, Sam's statue, right, I think we need to
put a life like figure statue,if you will. But Jimmy Buffett overlooking

(05:05):
the baby man. Would that benice? I don't think they'd argue with
dad, wouldn't Henry? Would thatbe wrong? Would that be wrong?
Henry with Black Lives Matter? Arguewith that? I don't care. Boy,

(05:36):
there's drinks of highs cold past blueribbing, just thinking out louds I'm
boy, Virgil, Thank you,Virgil, thank you for the so the
idea replacing the Admiral sim statue witha statue of Jimmy Buffett and downtown mobile.

(06:00):
Now, I don't know, Idon't know. I know there's a
lot of affection for Jimmy Buffett.Is there enough for replacing the Admiral Sims
statue with Jimmy Buffett? That's Idon't know that, Virgil. I know
I can understand your sentiment that you'remourning, you're missing him, you're longing

(06:20):
for him. I don't know that. I don't know if that's the right
thing, but you got me tothinking, and maybe it is. Maybe
it is the right thing. HaveJimmy Buffett there certainly would be a conversation
piece for tourists. But I rememberyears ago, I think that Rob Houlpert

(06:44):
of land yapp You may remember theland YAP newspaper, the last place to
find, you know, print journalismin Mobile. I believe Rob Holpert of
land Yapp wrote a column years agosuggesting that we rename the Causeway or the
Bayway after Jimmy Buffett, or maybewe could name the new bridge after Jimmy

(07:04):
Buffett. And I can't remember thereasoning that Rob Hobart had in his column,
but he was suggesting that we namedthe bridge or the causeway or something
after Jimmy Buffett. I don't knowif that'll happen either, because the state
is involved with the bridge, andthey State of Alabama generally screws everything up.
But I thought to myself, whynot why not change the name of

(07:29):
Airport Boulevard to Jimmy Buffett Boulevard.Now, why, Well, they're moving
the airport. I mean, they'llstill be an airport out there, but
all the passenger service is supposed togo to downtown Mobile. So when they
move all the passenger air service todowntown Mobile Airport, why not make a

(07:49):
clean break from that albatross of anairport out airport Boulevard and change the name
of Airport Boulevard. Now, thinkof the out of town or coming to
town in ten years, wondering whywe're calling that Airport Boulevard when the main
airport they flew in and out ofthere's nowhere near Airport Boulevard. So one

(08:15):
I'd have a clean break and changethe name of Airport Boulevard. You could
change it to Jimmy Buffett Boulevard.I've always been fond of the idea of
calling it Sabing Boulevard. Coach Savement. You could, or you could have
variations like Greatest of all Times,Sabing Boulevards, just something like that,

(08:39):
or even Bear Bryant Boulevard. Ithink it would be positive for everybody involved
whoever we name Airport Boulevard after,and it would also help us like Airport
Boulevard more because those of us thathave lived here for any length of time
generally have a hatred of Airport Boulevardand all the terrible traffic engineering through the
years. Uncle Henry Show News Radioseven ten WNTM. It is five twenty

(09:16):
news headlines in ten minutes on theUncle Henry Show. Telephone number two five
one four seven nine two seven twothree. That's two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. HelloColor hey, oh clean, how are
you doing. I'm good. Howare you all right? I just passed

(09:37):
through that Government Street Bankhead tunnel.I just said, I think they should
dedicated to Uncle Henry. Why wouldbe honorary honorary Uncle Henry tunnel there downtown
Mobile. Okay, now why whyme? Why would I get a tunnel?
I don't know, you know,everybody deserves something special. But you

(10:00):
know, because I was on aboutJimmy Buffett then at him statue, it
actually that tunnel goes right underneath them. So yeah, Jimmy Buffett right there,
and then you are part of thetunnel. But what I was gonna
ask you is did Ron DeSantis?Did he? Did he drop out of
the race? Not yet? No? No, Well, well, well
I say that I because on theinternet. I don't know if you've seen

(10:22):
that video, but somebody somebody createda video of Ron DeSantis actually you know,
bowing out of the race. Butit was the video was like,
must have been artificial intelligence whatever,because the video was very very real and
right now I've seen it on TikTok, so I don't know if it's on

(10:43):
anything other than that, but thevideo was very convincing that it was him.
I mean, they did an excellentjob, which actually made it scary
because I mean, if somebody canmake something that good, I mean,
it makes you wonder, you know, they could do that with anybody and
make it look like they actually saidsomething. But I don't know if you

(11:03):
have, if you get a chance, you want to see this video that's
out right now basically where Ron DeSantisis actually you know, basically bowing out
and apologizing the Trump and then saidhe was gonna do everything he kind of
support Trump and everything like that.And it was a you know, about
a two minute video of him,you know, apologizing and you know and

(11:26):
everything else. And I was Ireally thought it was a real video,
and it turned out that they saidit was actually fake. Yeah, this
is I'm glad you brought that up. I didn't see it, but it
is a real It's a growing concernbecause, as you pointed out, they're
getting better and better to where we'renot going to be able We're not going
to be able to tell if it'sfake or not soon. And then you

(11:48):
could think of what you could dowith that. Okay, you could start
a war, you could crash thestock market, you could you could create
violence. We all know there arepeople ready to fight all over the world
if you disrespect uh this, thator the other. I mean, you
could cause all kind of trouble withthat technology, no doubt trouble that would

(12:13):
that could affect a lot of us. Yeah, because his lips matched his
words, and there was no likedelaying it or anything. It was actually
a perfect, you know, renditionof him speaking of his voice. Everything
was perfect. There was no waythat you could really tell that it was
fake. I mean, like yousaid, I mean obviously you know they
could do that with Trump or somethingand then once again help him where he's

(12:37):
saying, Hey, go out thereand protest against me or whatever you know,
for me, and then you know, and then he had to prove
otherwise. But yeah, but Iwas very surprised really because it really it
really the video seemed very sincere.I mean the way it was worded and
everything. I mean, they didn'tit wasn't sarcastic. If it was a
very sincere you know, saying,you know, I apologize, people gave

(13:00):
me the wrong advice. You know, I shouldn't have ran against Trump,
and I'm going to do everything tosupport him, and all this other kind
of stuff. I mean, itwas very you know, you were very
believable. And then it was toknow it's not really he didn't he didn't
bow out, and I was justI said, wow, that isn't for
that to be that Really, itwas very scary to think they can make

(13:20):
something like that, like you said, where people say things that they didn't
say, you know, and thenit's all right, well, hey,
something's happening there with your phone call. But thank you. Look, I'm
gonna get to the next color,but thank you for bringing that up.
I did not see that, butI've seen over the ever since President Trump

(13:43):
was mug shot in Georgia, I'vealready listened to a couple of Donald Trump
rap songs that sound just like DonaldTrump is singing, but it's not him.
It's not him. So yeah,you could crash the start market with
this. You could start a war, you could do all kind of horrible,

(14:05):
horrible things destroyed. You could youcould cause all kind of trouble with
this technology, and unfortunately we're allgoing to find out because there's nothing there
to prevent it at this juncture.Hello Color, Henry, Hey Cliff Cliff,
you are live on the radio,Uncle Henry, about that call.

(14:30):
I think I've heard this morning thatthe banks are having problems with that boss
over type of type of thing wherethe person is not the person that's speaking
to the bank and it's asked themdoing getting different deposits and stuff going yep
and putting money way they can goget it. But like I say,

(14:52):
I believe this. You know onthe left, there's a lot of people
that believe everything here. But whenyou see that Donald Trump and Rondas sayings,
when you see that, common sensewill tell you that ain't him saying
that that way out of his characterbecause you kind of have a practical wisdom

(15:13):
or something. But to those thatdon't read that really don't try to figure
anything out, it will be abig issue with them because look at what's
happening to day of Henry. Weare on the cliff, and now it's
time for the Democrats. They votedfor this man and voted for everything that's

(15:35):
going on now, all this lyingand deceiving that. They're trying to stop
Trump from winning this election so hecan try to put this stuff back where
go. They're trying to use thefourteen Amendment on him. They're saying things
like treason and all of this stuffthat he didn't do, but they believe
it. I wonder if they're goingto open their eyes, because what's going

(15:56):
to happen when they come for thembecause they don't care about any of us
something, And well, I don't, I don't know what would it take
to get people's eyes open. Idon't. I don't really know. If
you you'd figured that if eyes weregonna open, they would open by now,
Yeah, you're right, But Istill believe in miracles. The fact

(16:18):
that this man, the things thatthese people on the news are saying are
so outlandish on all these news challengethat, like I said, my daddy
said, the Democrats are going tostart politicians are gonna started telling people's stuff.
A real damn fool to half ahard time believing. Yeah, some
of them, damn food's gonna believeit. So it's time for the damn

(16:41):
fools to wake up. Yeah blissthen, Cliff, thank you very much
for your phone call. It isuh. I'm trying to think of what
would wake somebody up that didn't alreadyawake. What do you think the COVID
everything that happened, well, reallyeverything that happened in this country since twenty

(17:02):
sixteen. You should be you shouldbe thoroughly in fact, you should be
begging to be able to go backto sleep by now because the country events
current events would have kept you awakesince twenty sixteen. Cliff, thanks again
for your phone call. We areon the bottom of the hour break.
We have news headlines coming up.I believe Byron Day of Fox ten and

(17:26):
Fox National News will provide us someheadlines here. Also get a traffic report
and then back with more. UncleHenry's Show on News Radio seven ten wnt
M. Uncle Henry Show, NewsRadio seven ten wnt M. It is

(18:10):
five thirty five. If you'd liketo jump in on the shelf. They're
something you want to bring up,you can two five one four seven nine
two seven two three is a telephonenumber two five one four seven nine two
seven two three email address Uncle Henryat iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. Now talkedearlier about renaming Airport Boulevard, which is

(18:37):
something that isn't a wonderful idea.I hope that somebody will get this to
Josh Woods, the New City councilmanbecause Airport Boulevard is a vital part of
his district. It would be awonderful thing to rename Airport Boulevard and Mobile
name. You can name it afterJimmy Buffett if you'd like, But that

(18:59):
would be the when they moved theair service, the passenger air service,
from the airport that's on Airport Boulevarddown to Brookley to the downtown Mobile Airport.
Then I think we need a cleanbreak and they need to just take
the name Airport Boulevard off of AirportBoulevard. And as I mentioned in the

(19:21):
last half hour, this would begood psychologically, I think from Mobile because
for many decades people have had veryresentful feelings toward Airport Boulevard, all of
course a history of just some ofthe worst traffic engineering on the planet.
Before the last municipal election, itwas it was just besieged with potholes.

(19:44):
I think it would be psychologically importantto change the name of Airport Boulevard to
something else. So why not nameit after Jimmy Buffett or Nick Saban or
Bear Bryant or other great people thatwere that had positives for the state of
Alabama. Hello, Color Hello,yes, uh, Julius, Julius,

(20:08):
you are live on the air.Julius. Okay ah. I was on
a Walmart yesterday and it was abad experience, you know it, im.
I was awful, so congested andpeople everywhere. No castris are day.

(20:32):
And when I was really young,I used to love to go to
Walmart. It was about the beststore around. But it's not like that
anymore. And I was on alow store. I was talking with a
guy about it. How bad thatdaddy perhaps soon went up and that was
a he she used to listening.She said this because people still so much.

(20:55):
Said all right, I'm sorry,she said, Julius, I'm sorry.
I'm I'm gonna have to ask youto repeat some of this. Your
phone broke up really bad. Nowyou were saying that, well, it's
it's it's in my house this time, like that on my porch. Can
you hear me? Now? Betterbetter on the porch, Better on the

(21:17):
porch. So you noticed it washorrible. You you had you didn't.
You were uncomfortable in Walmart, verycongested, not cashiers. Then you talked,
what did you what did you learn? What did you learn? The
young ladies said it says, theysteal so bad in there. And I
said, can you steal at Walmart? She says, the people that checks
the this sells out. They scantheir own stuff. She said, they'll

(21:42):
scan something cheap and throw two itemsinto the bag. And she said that's
how they steal. And so Ihad to go out there the day in
all those a young lady that wasguiding people around him, and I'll talk
to her about it, and shesaid, yeah, they still She said,
I'm just one person. I can'twatch everybody. We try to watch'em,

(22:06):
but she says, yes, Andthose are the people that scanning their
own stuff that's doing the uh uhthe majority of them stealing. And the
other thing I want to bring up, uh I went out and counsel my
uh cable subscriptions because they just keptgoing up, up and up on my

(22:27):
bill, and and and and youtry to call in and complain about something,
you can't find anybody locally to complaintoo. And when you finally get
somebody on the phone, they dialin the Philippines. Yep, they can't
help you. You can barely understanda lot of'em. And and and

(22:48):
and and you go to the storethere to uh complaint, and they got
two people. They got two littleold girls, young girls that that you
know. They check you in,but you gotta wait, and there's a
crowd of people. They all sittingthere waiting, and I ask you how
long you've been waiting, and we'vebeen here about thirty minutes. Then all

(23:10):
of that, and they got twopeople trying to handle all that stuff.
They didn't fight everybody locally, allthe people. And then they want to
go, uh technology, Okay,good, you're working on the Space show
and you got top notch people thatcan handle computers and stuff like that.
But these little local people they don'tknow nothing about computers and stuff like that.

(23:37):
And then if they tell you we'regonna fix your problem, oh they
don't fix it. I mean,uh they they'll temporarily fix it. But
the next month your bill come out. You got another astronomical bill, my
cable bill three hundred and fifty dollarswhat nobody but me and my wife three
fifty for one month, yes,three feet. I told him I'm not

(24:03):
gonna pay that. And my wifedon't watch anything but lifetimes. You know,
I watch uh me TV mostly andthat's it. And they got six
stations on there that's got the samething on it. And then they got
a whole line of these music stationsthat nobody listens to. And then they

(24:26):
got the high definition stations. Theyduplicate everything on that and all that they
just they just just steal here running. So I told'em cut it out
now. I said this, it'sa outrageous. But like I say,
then, I theyn't got rid ofeverybody around here. And I wanna know
if everybody else or notice this,to talk to anybody now they transfer you

(24:51):
to somebody down in the Philippines,A lot of a lot of these places,
and did that they want to gowith these computers, laws, technology
and all of these little old peoplecan't handle that. I built warships for
a living. When we got readyto put that sophisticated equipment in, I
was in charge of the engine rooms, and we are ready to put that

(25:14):
sophisticated equipment in. We can mindit, but we couldn't hook it up.
We'd ring the technicians that built thatstuff in the military before they took
you know, when they took over, they had people that can handle that
stuff. When we couldn't handle that. Local people in the negarague. Yeah,
I mean, and most people don'thave a medicalpacity to handle it,

(25:36):
you know. But I just wantedto anybody else know this stuff like that?
Off I'm sure, of course,well I have, uh, and
I know that a lot of peoplehave, if anybody wants to chime in
on this, two five one fourseven nine two seven two three. But
yes, people have noticed it.Customers. People were complaining about customer service
back before the pandemic, but afterthe pandemic, it's I don't know if

(26:00):
it will ever come back. Infact, are you may have noticed this?
But we've lowered our own expectations ofcompetency across the board for everything.
We have lowered our expectations in thiscountry of competency for everything since the pandemic.
I mentioned yesterday they grounded some airlinegranted all their flights yesterday morning.

(26:26):
People acted like it was no bigdeal because we're used to it now.
We are used to it now.We're used to things not working, We're
used to people not showing up,We're used to getting lousy customer service we
have. I hate to say this, Julius, but unfortunately this is the
direction we're headed. Less competency ingeneral in society. Juli yoursel I've got

(26:51):
to run, but thank you verymuch for your phone call. I'm going
to be heading into a break here, so if you want to call in,
join me in the next segment.Two five, one, four seven
nine two seven two three. Probablya lot of factors go into this.
Probably a lot of factors affect this, uh, what we're seeing. But

(27:14):
now maybe you're maybe you still expectit, but we're at a point where
a lot of people now no longerexpect business is not open when they say
they're going to be open. We'renot opening at all. When they say
they're going to be open. Theones that are opening only able to handle

(27:34):
amount a third of what they usedto. This is all over the place.
All right, there's more to come. The Uncle Lenry Show continues.

(27:57):
Uncle Lenry Show News Radio set upin ten WNTM. It's five fifteen news
headlines coming up at six o'clock fromFox. Got a couple of callers here
waiting to talk. Hello color,Hi, Hey, you are live on
the radio. Hi. College footballon TV. And it's still hot and

(28:21):
I'm sick and tired of it beinghot. Well, we are all looking
forward to cooler temperatures. Yes,indeed, yeah, I wrote to rap
about it cow singing on your show. Sure, Okay, my name is
Pat and I'm here to say I'mtired of the weather being hot today?
Would I hate the summer? Iwish you were fall I've been slating like

(28:42):
a pair of donkey ball Hey,all right, look this, look.
I want to respect all these artforms like ramp. I don't understand a
lot of it, but I wantto respect it as an art form.
But if it's got to be nasty, if it's got to be nasty,
don't call in with it all rightnow, maybe there's other stations that have

(29:06):
nasty stuff that you can call int K one, oh one one of
the nastiest stations in our our area. So try to get in touch with
TK with that stuff. Don't don'tsoil the Uncleanry show with nasty rhymes.
You know, nasty language is terriblein and of itself, but when it's
used in a rhyme even worse.It's even more disgusting, Like sewage wrapped

(29:30):
up in a in a gift bagor something. It's disgusting. Hello caller,
Hey, uncle Henry, how areyou doing snake trapper? Snake trapper?
You are live on the radio.I'm handing. I don't know if
you could hear me or not,but I was hollering, hang up on
that fell. I recognize that voice, and uh, he's somebody that needs
to call the Walter and Johnson Showon. He was fit right in well

(29:53):
good. I hope that caller callsthe Walton Johnson Show and deals and they
and they deal with him appropriately.Hey man, you know UH sent your
voice message esterday about a flat earthor person I met right? That was
many people listened to it last nightin the six o'clock hour of the Uncle
Henry Show. Yes, yeah,I met him through the snap on truck

(30:15):
comes around to our shop and sellsnap on toes and actually met him through
our snap on guy. But UncleHenry, he sent me, uh,
he sent me photos today of whatwas supposed to be Uh. He claimed
that India landed a rover on themoon and uh he sent me pictures that

(30:36):
was supposed to be in from thethe India moon landing rover, pictures of
the earth and man in them,pictures that looked flat. Well, come
on, I mean they got himfold Uncle Henry, I mean this this
cat. Uh. And he alsosent me you know, I told him
when he was telling me about allthe stuff he believed. Then you know,

(30:56):
I introduced him to the Chepicago,you know, which is a mythical
uh beast that roams around in theswamps of Louisiana. Yeah, and uh,
he sent me information on the chupocacter, telling me that it does exist.
So he is a believer in thechupacagra. Now but okay, man,
this gut. I won't give hima number. Wrong, and you

(31:17):
got to talk to this fella.But but this is it. Now.
Do you think he's a real flatearth believer or does he just pretend to
believe it so that he can havefun conversations with colorful individuals such as yourself,
Uncle Henry, I truly believe thatthis fella believes that the Earth is
flat. Now he says, it'skind of got like a a half dome
under you know. It's just notlike he could, like, you know,

(31:41):
dig a six foot hole and fallcompletely through. But there's a there's
a subterranean dumb of earth that isthere in case I want to dig,
yes or no? I mean thisguy really truly believes it man, and
he uh, he like said,Man, he was sending me them pictures
and I and I think it waspart of AI. You know. I

(32:01):
think once uh, once they canconvince you of certain things, man,
I believe that that they'll poured onyou. And I think that's what they're
doing to this fella. And uh, like I said, I throw it
out of something that I truly didn'tbelieve in. I don't believe that there's
a mythical creature running around over thereand the swamps losing them. But I've
heard about it a lot, youknow, on some shows, and just

(32:23):
started to throw it out there tohim, and he researched it and he
is convinced, and uh that thereis a tupe of governor around and he
swamps a losing in on you.So you know, if you don't stand
for something, I guess you'll fallfor anything. And that's kind of what
it seemed like. This fella isdoing well. I'm this is I'm not
surprised now now that I've we're livingthe way we're living them, not surprised

(32:45):
that there's flat earthers roamming around withsnap on two people. You know,
and it's really dangerous. I thinkthis artificial and telling stage tent can be
dangerous. I mean, look atwhat Jim Jones done with just his his
voice, you know, I meanconvince you know, thousands of Americans to
move to guy on in South Americaand then wind up causing them to commit

(33:07):
suicide. When the United States wason to what he was doing. You
know, we had a senator thatactually went over there that heard they were
in trouble, and they murdered him. So people need to need to need
to do their own research, youknow, I mean the usually common sense
about things. Uh, I meanit's you know, like this guy told

(33:27):
him, Man, everything in theobservable universe has proven to be you know,
round, and I don't know whyhe thinks that the Earth would be
uh you know, not round also, but you know, people don't believe
what they want to believe on well, and now it's a difficult time to
persuade him because all of the institutionsthat we used to trust, many of
us have trouble trusting those institutions now. So it's it's probably a difficult time

(33:51):
to convince a flat earth. Looksnake trapper. I've got to run,
but thank you Snake Trapper for yourflat Earth update. If you missed yesterday's
show, you can listen to thepodcast available now at NewsRadio seven ten dot
com or on the iHeartRadio app.And here Snake Trapper's original call about the
flat earther and other things the FlatEarth believes more after the news what is

(34:30):

sing along with Mitch? Sing alongwith by the way, sing along with
Mitch. I know this may haveset you, but I feel that sing
along with Mitch overrated. Yeah,no offense to all the Mitch lovers,
but in my opinion, in mypersonal opinion, overrated. Sing along with

may not. Thank you and havea good day. Rule tied, rule
tied, Roule. Yes, Iknow them all, although some of them,

(38:37):
while very familiar, I believe tobe. I had to keep using
the word overrated, but some ofit quite overrated. Flipper. Look,
it's hard for me to be judgmentalabout Flipper because I'm I'm not a three
years Apparently you need to be threeyears old to really track with Flipper.
Now you mentioned The Flying Nun.Think about the United States of America.

(39:05):
Let me look up when that showwas on because because what else was going
on in the country when that showwas on television? The Flying Nun Okay,
nineteen sixty seven, so the countrywas it was had hippies, and
you remember all the turmoil of thelate sixties. With all of the turmoil

(39:29):
of the late sixties. The FlyingRun. The Flying Nun ran from sixty
seven to nineteen seventy eighty two episodes, and the premise is a nun can
fly that a nun can can.I don't know if she I don't know
if her hand was what it was, or I don't know. See I

(39:53):
don't know that. I remember watchinga full episode of the Flying Nun,
so I don't. I don't knowif they've ever explained why she could fly.
I don't know if it was justa breeze and her her habit,
the giant headpiece that she wore.I don't know if that if they tried

(40:15):
to explain that it was natural thatshe could fly. But yeah, for
a couple of years, Americans wouldwatch every week a nun that could fly?
Hey, Sally Field, that's howgood she was that she could carry
such a ridiculous, ridiculous television show. Well, anyway, I'll tell you

(40:37):
what a weird reaction the TV networksput that on TV during a time of
intense societal change and turmoil of flyingNune. Now will that happen again?
We're in a time of tremendous turmoil. Where is our modern flying Nun?
I'd like to know. I mightlike it. Then I couldn't handle it,

(41:00):
But maybe nowadays, maybe I couldhandle something like that. Pops,
thank you for your voicemail voice onenumber two five one seven zero six bull
two five one seven zero six twoeight five five. Let me slip in
another voicemail this one from Beauford Handry. This heys, Henry. We talk

(41:22):
a lot on your radio program aboutthe meteorologies and how they're always trying to
cause public alarm with new meteorological termssuch as the heady dome and the red
alert weather and other sorts of nonsense. Right, Henry, could you please

(41:42):
reach out to John ed Tumps andsee if he'd be willing to come on
to your radio program and talk aboutthe current state of the meteorology meant and
how they're reporting the weather, Henry. With the technology that we have,
it could be done remotely. Hecould call in on a telephonic device.

(42:04):
Anything, Henry, But Henry,I have always loved watching the weather and
observing the weather, and Henry,I can't take it anymore. Henry.
We need John ed Thompson to putthe ship back right, or at least
just give us his opinion. Anyway, Henry, you have a good thing

(42:29):
for Thank you for the suggestion.Of course, John ed Thompson would be
a tremendous guest to have on theprogram. Again. It's been I can't
remember, it's been years, severalyears since he's been on the show.
But he make a great guest butI would not hold my breath waiting for
him to be even remotely critical ofanything that modern weather men are doing.

(42:52):
That is not his style. Idon't think even if he thought of some
criticism, I don't know that hewould dare say it. I don't think
that that's his style. But anyway, great suggestion. Thank you Pewford for
your suggestion of getting John ed asa guest. More Uncle Henry show to
come. I'll be right back withmore here on wnt M. Uncle Henry

expert. Coming up right after thenews at the bottom of the hour here

(44:10):
on News Radio seven ten w nt M. Back to voicemail voice fil
number two five one seven zero sixbull two five one seven zero six two
eight five five. On yesterday's broadcast, long time caller Beauford explained that his
son, Buford Junior was learning howto play the guitar electric guitar that his

(44:32):
mother bought him, and Beauford saidthe child was doing heavy metal, playing
heavy metal, but was he wastrying to talk the child into exploring other
genres of music. Now, Beaufordcalled in on some other topics. But
I think the guitar playing or thethis terrible type of heavy metal music like

(44:58):
interrupts the voicemail. Let me letme see, ain't of that hair is
different? Now? I saw thattheir governor d Fancies refused to meet with
the Biden. That's exactly what heneeds. Hold on a minute, Henry,
what in the world is that boy? There will be no guy go
back Sabbath in this house. SoI will break that game over your cuts

(45:21):
on the head in it out,Bote out amlification, the bis in the
river. Stop it right now,boys, hold on, Henry, I
got something I gotta take care of. Wow. Okay, we heard discipline.
We heard actual discipline. And ifyou're if your child is playing Black
Sabbath in the house, well oranywhere, really, that is a time

(45:42):
for a father or a mother orany other guardian to step in and step
forward to eliminate the Black Sabbath fromthe household and from the life of the
child. This is for the child'sprotection. This is not any anything other
than trying to do the right thing, raised a child in the proper way.

(46:02):
Okay, so Beauford did callback many. This is just wanted to apologize
for that outburst earlier, Henry.The boys started playing the Black Sabbath,
and sometimes, Henry, you haveto discipline your killed green without hesitation black

(46:27):
when they're drinking bleachs under the sinkingor if they're starting to play some demonic
band's tomb heat car their dag gummother got them for no dad gum reason
at all. Yes, anyway,Henry, I understand now why some of
them old men used to hunt withyou, to stay at the hunting camp

(46:47):
all the season. I understand.Now. You have a good day.
Okay, all right, Buford,hanging there. You're doing the right you
know you're doing the right thing.It's tough right now, but one day
the child will well, thank you. Now you might have to wait until
you're like sixty five but you'll getthanked. I promise you you'll get thanked.

(47:07):
Now. A little bit more voicemailtwo five one seven zero six bull
two five one seven zero six twoeight five five, A little bit more
from Beauford. Beauford called in aboutsomething other than Joe Biden and his son's
problem with the devil. Really it'sreally Beauford Junior dealing with the devil and

(47:28):
Beaufort trying to cancel him in thisall right, one more from Beauford hand.
It is Henry reviewing the podcast.And you had mentioned how much your
radio program had changed through the years, and henryette has. But I tell
you what, it stayed the sameas far as keeping that hyper local,

(47:49):
fantastic quality that makes the Uncle HenryShow so great even when you're corporate.
Remember when you're corporate, overlords triedto kill your show, Henry, and
they made it the way you hadto team up with some partner. I
think he was a Mississippi or something, and you had to talk about broader
topics affecting you know, other regents. I mean, it didn't even sound

(48:13):
like a local show. Henry Coulktownvilleis listening to the mobile or Birmingham anyway,
Henry referred to that. Now,wouldn't that be h I'm sorry to
pause there, but wouldn't it behorrible to have to listen to a show
out of Birmingham? No offense toall the Birmingham lovers out there, know
that you the listener probably have fondmemories of Birmingham. But the yeah,

(48:34):
the idea of listening to a showout of Birmingham for any reason disgusts me.
All right. Back to the voicemail, Beuf for talking about how my
show was terrible in his opinion,when I was teamed up with Kelly Bennett,
the magnificent Kelly Bennett out of BILEXIfound like a local show. Henry,
Couldtownville is listening to the mobile orBirmingham anyway? Henry? I referred

(48:55):
to that as the Mike Shula yearsof the Uncle Henry Show. But Henry,
you endeavored to persevere, Henry,and man, you were able to
keep this thing afloat. I'm soglad you did, Henry, so glad
you did. Anyway, thoroughly enjoyyour radio program, Henry, and I

(49:19):
hope to have many more years ofit. You have a good day,
well, Thank look, buff thankyou. I've got bills to pay,
I'm in debt a little bit,and so yeah, many more years of
payments, many more years of paymentsneed to be made. So many more
years of me on the radio,as long as I've got health. Of
course, thank you Gifford for yourvoicemail. If you'd like to leave one,

(49:43):
you can too. Two five oneseven zero six Bull two five one
seven zero six two eight five five. Now coming up, we have news
