Unparented Childreng Could Destroy Us All

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
One of the things I've learned in life is ignorance
is bliss Not only not only does that go for me,
it goes for the everybody. If, uh, if you're ignorant
of the subject, it's very blissful, it says.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
The Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio seventy ten
w n T M. No, thank you very much for
listening to the Uncle Henry Show. And once again here
we are together, me and you trying to make sense,
trying to make sense out of what what is happening

(01:12):
in the world around us. What's happening If you'd like
to call in, you want to bring something forward, as
long as it ain't nasty. Telephone numbers two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. That's two five

(01:34):
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle Henry at
iHeartMedia dot com. I hope all is well with you.
After our weekend, of course, we did have a very
alarming activity and mobile with a shooting at Sanger Theater.
Somebody shot dead in the Sanger Theater during a dance

(01:55):
recitaled suspect arrested for this at twenty seven man the
mayor of Mobile Standy Simpson has released a statement on
what happened at the Sanger Theater. He released us a
few hours ago. The mayor, in his statement says, it
is shocking that anyone would bring a loaded gun to

(02:16):
a child's dance recital, and even more unimaginable that someone
will fire a weapon into a crowded theater just feet
from where young children were performing on stage. There's no conflict, dispute,
or disagreement worth putting so many people at risk, or
subjecting children to such lasting trauma. It's sickening. Yesterday's event

(02:37):
brought together an incredibly talented group of young dances and
performers whose skills have been shaped by the passionate and
caring teachers at Dan's One oh one. Those children should
be celebrating an amazing performance today, not dealing with the
aftermath of witnessing a fatal shooting. Please keep the family
of Carl Williams in your prayers, as well as the

(02:57):
dance one on one students and teachers, and everyone impacted
by the tragic event. The mayor's statement goes on to
say we have been in close contact with our management partner,
Oakview Group to discuss security measures that were in place
last night. Magnanometers and handheld metal detectors are used for
all public, ticketed events at the Sanger Theater. During private

(03:20):
events like the recital last night, the use of these
devices is determined on a case by case basis. All
events at the Sanger Theater and Mobile Convention Center will
require additional security going forward, additional security screening moving forward.
As we continue to work with Oakview Group to review

(03:42):
our policies and procedures, We're exploring every option, including investing
in additional security measures and tools, to ensure that both
public and private events hosted city facilities are safe and secure.
That was the statement from the mayor. I don't know
what else. What else more can you do at this
point other than try to provide even more security at

(04:06):
these facilities when this is what this is unfortunately a
part of the culture that we're living in today, which
you wouldn't think. You wouldn't think that something like this
would spill out into a dance recital, but it has happened,
and so what more could you do other than this?

(04:29):
I was, of course you may have been thinking along
the same lines of what would what could you do.
The only thing I know that could make an impact
would be difficult, and that would be to make sure
that anybody that does some liketh this goes to jail,
and they go to jail for the rest of their
lives and we all find out about it. Our media

(04:54):
does a great job of showing us all the people
that get shot in this city, and they they show
us getting arrested. They show these folks getting arrested, and
the news every now and again. We'll keep up with
it in court. But along the way, we don't get
nearly as many stories in the news of people getting

(05:17):
convicted and going to prison as we do people that
are getting in trouble. And I don't know. Maybe if
there was, if it was more in people's faces that
there are consequences for these things, maybe that might make
a difference, because you just get the feeling that people
see zero consequence. Otherwise, what would you even consider something

(05:37):
like this? Two five one four some nine two two three.
The telephone number whatever you'd like to talk about, as
long as it ain't nasty, is available here on the
Uncle Henry Show.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Hello Color, Hello boy, Henry.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yes you are live on the radio.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
It's the Alabama Bhusah calling checking in.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I have a bushowk what is on your mind today?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Well, I'm going to tell you how longer I heard
what you were saying. You know what, too long ago
that I was at the Singer Theater and what's three
Dog Night perform and nobody's saying anyone?

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Okay, Well that's good.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
We had a great time. I don't understand what's going
on in the world with all that. Maybe they can,
they can stop it from happening. That's what we can
hope for anyway.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Right, well, we all, we all hope for it.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Unfortunately we see that nowadays conflict resolution seems to involve
guns for a lot of young people.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah. Well, people need to sell things with the mine
and words instead of using any kind of bodence. Yes, sir,
on a light or note. Look, we were talking last
week about some exotic barbecues of grilling whatever.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
You know, Yeah, I had.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
There was talk about eating turtles and things like that
on the show. Yes, well, you know.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Right here in Mobile we got plenty of possum to
go along with that too.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Right, Well, I don't know, I haven't heard a lot
of people talking about eating possum.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well I've never had it either. They say it tastes
like chicken, but just give me chicken, will you. I mean, okay,
I never met I never met a chicken, and that
I didn't like.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well, congratulations there, Well, yes, sir, yes, sir.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Also, now, if you wanted to get really exotic and
do a little traveling, you could go to Baton Rouge
and take I twelve down to New Orleans and along
the way at a certain time of the year you
could find dead nutra on both sides of the road
and on Interstate.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Okay, oh, that sounds that that is the most appetizing thing.
To think of it. New tree littering the highway, that
does that does get an appetite going.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Guys drilling, barbecuing. They
say they look like Louise had a smop rass his
biggest housecat. So that's a lot of eating out there,
if you want to look at it that way.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay, I'll keep that in mind. That might be a
fun day trip.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, Well, let me know, I'll come to the cookout.
And in other news, you know about Trump and Harvard.
I mean, Harvard's just gone overboard with all the crap
they're doing up there. So Trump just sold them said, look,
we're gonna pull all your.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Funded right right.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
They trying to go to court and have the last word.
Well I heard today he gave them the last word.
He just said, go fund yourself.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Go fund yourself. Alabama Bush had thank you very much
for your phone call. Here on the Uncle Henry Show.
Starting a Monday off. I think it's isn't it fun?
The idea of South Alabamian's pondering the fate of Harvard.

Here on the Uncle Henry Show. Telephone number two five
one four seven nine two seven two three. That's two
five one four seven nine two seven two three. Email

(09:42):
address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. Now speaking of a guns now,

(10:04):
the mayor's statement about what happened at the Sanger Theater,
he mentioned what did he say? He said, it's shocking
that anyone would bring a loaded gun to a child's
dance Recylum. There are lots and lots of people here
on the Gulf Coast, as you're aware, that conceal carry

(10:25):
that are not looking for trouble, not looking to get
into a fighter, not looking to settle a dispute with
their firearm. They're just trying to protect themselves. I would
never be surprised that anyone would be concealed carrying anywhere
here on the Gulf Coast, especially these days, just for

(10:46):
their own self protection. In fact, I got a voicemail
about this over the weekend from Buford. This was not
about what happened at the Singer Singer. He was just
calling to say that he was standing in line at
a gas station on Dauphin Island Parkway and knew that
everyone that he was in line with they were all armed.

(11:11):
They were all armed.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
Henry started to get gas at the gas station on
the parkway that UH caught the big oak. That gas
station like that at the corner of d I P
And the Hamilton Boulevards. Henry, I was in line with
a lot of salt of the earth tight, some commercial fishermen,
some UH carpenter fellers do construction out here on the

(11:38):
waterfront hair building of warriors and bulkheads and such and
uh and one maxan Feller, Henry. We were all armed,
Henry the sort of an earth Fellers, the commercial fishermen
and the crabber and the UH marine construction workers all
had built chief dives Xican had a raisor in his shoe.

(12:00):
And let me tell you this, Henry, I, of course
was on armed with my my Sunday pistola, my pocket
pistol for when I'm in a more casual environments.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
But Hanley, and by the way, that might be a
good show. Also UH Friday talking about the idea of
doing some type of turtle cooking, turtle cooking and turtle
eating on the Uncle Henry show at some point in
the future. Also, you're just hearing Beauford described as special
as a special Sunday pistol for more, more and more

(12:32):
casual environment it'd be good to do a show about
responsible gun ownership and what is what would be good
and responsible for a casual setting.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
Armed with my my Sunday pistola, my pocket pistol for
when I'm in a more casual environments. But Hanley, I
never face standing in the line of.

Speaker 7 (12:57):
The gas station.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
And there were old dad gum degenerates in there either, Henry.
Wonder what that was anyway, Henry, just a flash alive
from the parkway.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
You have a good day, Ford, Thank you very much. Now,
I don't know how you could tell that there was
not a degenerate. You said there was no degenerate in there?
Now many don't Many degenerates pass through society hard to detect. Well,

(13:31):
I wouldn't know, But Buford, let me if there's any
tailtale sign of degeneracy that has escaped me, let me know,
because it sounds like you can detect the degenerates a
lot better than I can. Oh, and there was a
quick follow up because Buford's daughter was in the parking lot.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
Who my thing, Henry, As I was in the gas station,
mine a drink and paint for gas. My baby girl,
who's now pinning you old were sitting in the car
and Henry, she was just as safe that she live
my own griveway anywhere here.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
You have a good day, right, Beautifred, Thank you very
much for your voicemail. The Voice Fund number two five
one two one six nineteen seventy six two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six to leave a message
for the Uncle Henry show. Uh, and you ever mentioned
he was in the line there at a gas station
on the Parkway with all these Salt of the Earth

(14:29):
types all armed and no problems, everybody watching out for
everybody else's safety. I have noticed this new trend all
around South Alabama of new, brand new gigantic gas stations.
Not just a gas station, but these big ones, you

(14:52):
know what I'm talking about, similar to wah wah. They're
not as big as a buck EA's, but they're they're big,
don't I don't quite understand the trend there are are
is anybody building these days just a regular gas station

(15:13):
back what they used to be. Do you remember what
they used to be lying the filling station? I wonder
if they do those get built anymore. It seems like
everywhere everywhere now that is new that is opening up
to sell gas is UH has got you go in
and they're open twenty four hours, and they've got a

(15:35):
complete fast food restaurant in there, and they've got every
every type of suite in there, like a bakery. I
just it's hard for me to imagine that a lot
of people are a lot of people stopping and doing
and eating at these places and buying all these baked
goods and everything. How can people afford all this stuff?

(15:57):
And these monstrous gas stations are they what are they
taking the place of now? Used to be that we
had giant drug stores on every corner, then after about
twenty twenty five years, not anymore. So I wonder if

(16:17):
this trend. I wonder if this will be a trend
like that, that we'll have twenty to twenty five years
of giant gas stations that have bakeries and restaurants inside
set by souvenirs in there, and then I don't know
what will happen in the next twenty five years, what
they'll be replaced by, maybe a giant vape shop where

(16:40):
you can get your eyelashes and your nails done, something
like that. All right, let's see going to be going
to break here in a moment and then coming back
with more Uncle Henry's show. Before we go to break,
I want to let you know that I can be

(19:00):
with Tyler Schilders myself. You may not be aware of
Tyler Childers. Shell Be Mitchell of ninety five Cashtrey described
him to me as Americana, whatever that is. I guess
if you sound like you fell off of a truck
or something like that, maybe that's what Americana is. I

(19:21):
don't know. But it was a sellout. It was a
complete sellout. A lot of young folks going down and
listening to Tyler Childers. And I met a lot of
wonderful people there at the Wharf in Orange Beach. I

fudge brownie. Lord of Mercy, I'll tell you what, huh, Oh,
I know what else I had? I had mashed potators

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Sixty eight year old Chris of West Likesley thank you. Now,
if you're a younger listener, somebody in their sixties listening
to this instead of their seventies and eighties, like most
of most of the listeners and me, Uh, this is
what people our age like to talk about. Yeah, I
know there's major issues going on in the world. We
might be on the brink of World War iie, Uh,

(23:14):
the the country. There's huge political vinds going on in the country.
We've got law and order issues here locally. But uh,
people like me were always willing to listen to what
somebody had for dinner. But uh, krit Now your question
about evening, When do I consider evening? Well, I always
considered evening. I guess around the time you would consider it.

(23:39):
I would consider evening more based not necessarily on the clock.
But where are we where the sun is setting? I
would consider right around sunset as evening. That would but
that would be me and I don't want to I
don't know what the dictionary says about evening and what

(24:00):
the definition of evening is, but I was I was
thought of it as around Uh, around sunset is when
you're getting into evening at the end of the day.
Two five the telephone number here on the onunk Limberg Show.

Speaker 7 (24:14):
Hello Color, Hey man, Al, you still got a job?

Speaker 2 (24:21):
You know I do.

Speaker 7 (24:23):
Look at I've been with my son recruiting. Man. He Uh,
he recruited girl out of Lake City, Indiana, and he
got one out of Augusta, George. He lost one in Chattanooga,
and brother, I gonna have some talent just coming.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
You're Henry, Well, good hey, good luck to him.

Speaker 7 (24:41):
Yeah, listen, man, this is what I want to call
to tell you, Henry. You know I'm gonna ran about something.
You already know that, don't you all right?

Speaker 2 (24:47):
What you're gonna ran about?

Speaker 7 (24:48):
Well, why are you two guys trying to mess with
the waves? Now? The city councilor would say, cost him
take him hour and the half to leave here, Chris
on way to get down to the city council means,
but do you know for the for the for the disable,
and the handicap and the elderly, it'll cost him three

(25:10):
dollars to get down there. They can't take no Hoover
for no twenty dollars man like he can and one
Tyler ain't never rode a bus in his life. Tyler
had mom and Daddy to take wherever he wanted to go.
You know that. You know they're gonna kill the minority,
the elderly, the disable, the handicap to come out of

(25:33):
Hoover and shall riding when they could get on that
way for a dollar in a quarter sixty cent man.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Wait, well, look, nobody, I didn't notice anybody. And Alice
calling in about the city relooking at how to handle
public transportation. Nobody down there talked about ending public transportation.

Speaker 7 (25:54):
Listen, Henry, you look.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
You know you're you're acting like they want to get
rid of buses. They do not want to get rid
of buses. They don't want to be stupid about it.
If your bus only has five to ten people on
it and it's and it's fill thirty or forty capacity,
that's kind of dumb to run a bus where nobody's
on the bus.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
I ride the bus to tomorrow to rom up to
the peanut shop. It ain't five people on there every
time you go somewhere. Now, that's a lot.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
There, right, But they're trying to think is there a
better way to do it? But nobody's gonna get rid
of it because everybody knows what you said is true.
There are people that really do need that transportation.

Speaker 7 (26:35):
I I'm gonna pay twenty dollars the ride, the ride
a guide to the city council meeting. Man when I
could ride it for three dollars.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I don't think they're going to have people having to
pay twenty bucks. There's no way they would do that.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
You ever rode the hoover or whatever they call that thing.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
The hoover, I've, you know, from time to time, I've
ridden a big vacuum cleaner.

Speaker 7 (27:00):
Okay, I know you're gonna pay some money. I'm a
tell this ain't Henry, and I'm gonna let you go
when I tell you it's right here. We got three
set of council them where the bus it run through
the district all the time, and number three councilorm let
this thing go through. They don't need a ben offer
no more. You know who the three I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
You are well because everything you call in about is
racially based. I can understand what you're talking about, but you,
of course have it all wrong. Nobody's talking about getting
rid of the buses or public transportation. They're trying to
find a smarter way of doing it, and nobody wants
a disabled person to have to come up with twenty

(27:38):
to thirty bucks to go somewhere. All of that is
bas back with more after the break.

Speaker 10 (27:47):
And if you're trailing in Milton. Lanes of traffic are blocked.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Uncle Henry's Show. It is five point fifty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes, and then more Uncle Henry's Show.
Telephone number two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. That's two five one four seventy nine two
seven two three.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
Hello Color, Hey over Henry.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
How you doing, Snake Trapper? You are live on the radio.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
Hey on, Henry. My friend Bufford reached out to me. Uh,
he and Beufford Junior had caught a large and I
mean a large soft sell turtle.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah. We uh we talked about that Friday on the show.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
Yeah, Uh yes, sir, and he went to get a
tug to put it in and why it was on
his dock. That thing turned over the basket that it
was in and got away, and uh that thing was
probably eighteen or twenty pounds. Over, Henry. I posted a
video of it on the Snake Trapper page.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Oh you've got video of Beefrid's turtle.

Speaker 5 (29:05):
Uh yes, sir, I just posted a few minutes ago.
And uh too, Uncle Henry. I'm kind of glad it
got away. And the reason is, uh, you know, these
rules and regulations constantly changed with the wind and uh
for some reason, now you cannot harvest the saft sell
turtle or the yellow belly slider in the month of May,
June or July. So uh man, that's kind of heartbreaking

(29:28):
because uh you know, I guess I'll have to catch
one uh after July and uh you know, put him
on ice or freeze him and until uh you know,
or maybe even took him then. But man, they these
regulations that they're putting on stuff on Henry. I also
they did it to the yellow belly slider and uh

(29:49):
this pond uh lake I live on when there entered
absolutely overrun with yellobelly sliders. There's no reason. I mean
I could see in areas where the population may be decreasing,
but my goodness, man, I mean they're just very plentiful
out of this world.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Now, now tell me this. I don't understand all this stuff.
So the yellow belly slider turtle. Does this mean you'll
never be able to eat the turtle or it'll be
you'll be able to eat it only certain times of year.
How does this work?

Speaker 5 (30:17):
Well, there's certain times of the years you're not able
to catch it. Uncle Henry. You can eat it any
time of the year, but you're just not allowed to
catch it between May first and June thirty first, So no, no,
I sorry, July thirty first. So there's three months there.
And the only reason I could think of that is no,
Hendry's because that is the peak of their nesting season.

(30:40):
So and I said, man, I don't understand it. You know,
I don't understand I'm putting restrictions on bullfrogs like they do,
and it's it's I think it's just the government just
trying to control folks. I mean, like I said, that
turtle would have fed probably twenty twenty five people.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Uncle, Henry, twenty five people.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Go check that thing out. I posted.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
What did you say? It was eighteen pounds.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
I'm thinking at least, don't Henry. It was as big
as his dip net. I mean, the turtle barely did
fit in his dip net.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
So and you say that would that would feed twenty people?

Speaker 5 (31:16):
Oh, yes, sir, it would make a large probably about
a five gallon soup on that size.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
What would you put in addition to the turtle meat?
What else goes into a turtle soup? What kind of
vegetables go into a turtle soup.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
Oh, Henry, you can pretty much do it like you
would do your gumbo. You can make your brown root.
You know, you could put corn in it. You could
put a hamburger meat. You know, whatever you would put
in your gumbo would be the way it is, just an
Instead of chicken or shrimp, or sausage or or seafood
or oysters, you would have turtle meat. Okay, man, it

(31:53):
would be delicious, but one that size. I mean I
would cook it in many different ways. I would definitely
eat some other fry.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
So what now, what's better the super fried?

Speaker 5 (32:05):
Uh? Well, if it's de tend On who coached it,
Uncle Henry, I mean I love it fried. I mean
I would do it both ways.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Has your wife? Has your wife ever had fried turtle?

Speaker 5 (32:18):
No, not that I know of, On Henry, I'm pretty sure.
But after Stephen Brilin got on there and talked about
she's ready to get on that amtrak when it comes
because she does want to go to New Orleans and
try it at that restaurant that mister Stephen Brilin spoke of.
Oh okay, she is willing to try it there. You know,
I hadn't had it many years on. Henry Grandma used
to cook it and she died maybe six so, uh,

(32:41):
you know, so's this's been a long time since I've
actually have heard. I've had other people's but not hers
in a long time, and hers was the best.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
All right, Well, keep me up to date on this
if because Buford wants to have some type of turtle
cooking event on the show, and I'm all ready to
go for it whenever, but I want to make sure
it's legal and above board. I don't want any kind
of exotic or endangered species as a delicious food.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Uh, yes, sir, that that one will be legal. It's
just depending on the time of.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Year you catch it, okay.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
And and also a Sevnaire, you know, he's gonna challenge
me to a turtle cook off, so he's he's gonna
be a part of it too. So man, I was
kind of heartbroken to find out that it got away,
and then uh checking the regulations on it before harmed
it or anything. You know, I was gonna make sure,
you know, like I said, I don't want to break
any kind of rules of regulator, right, I've always tried

(33:36):
to honor the laws of man's and all of the Almighty.
So uh man, like I said, well, we're gonna make
it happen on ken very very.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Hey, Snake trappor thank you for calling.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Yes, everybody go check that thing out. He is lords
all right.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
I'm gonna look. That's on the snake Trapper Facebook page.
Two words snake and then and I appreciate those phone
calls when the world seems insane. It makes me feel
better when people call in about eating turtles. This is

(34:38):
the Uncle Henry's show here on news radio seven ten WNT.
Thank you so much for listening to the unc Glanders Show.
I appreciate it very very much. Now this half hour
of show going to get to some news items. I
may even get to some voicemails. Now, let me start
with a few news items for you. And this falls

(34:59):
under a cat at least in my mind, of a
nation that is going more and more unparented. Yeah, I
just you've noticed it too, where there are lots of
people a reach adulthood and they have not been properly
parented and then they remain like children or adolescents all

(35:21):
throughout their adulthood. You've noticed this, You've seen it. Now.
There was a story last week in the news about
how there's lots of colleges and universities around the country
are starting to offer adulting classes, classes on how to
be adults. These are just basic classes, teaching things like

(35:42):
consumer math, how would you manage your checking account? Do
you understand how a credit card works? Just the basic stuff,
just basic stuff you need to be able to survive
as an adult. They're having to teach now apparently parents
are not teaching their kids these things adulting classes. And

(36:02):
it also gets into the base these adulting classes are
not just about basic consumer math, consumer finance, but also
really basic stuff like to had to cook for yourself
and how to do your laundry. People are just not
being parented. Well that was last week. I noticed this
story about all these adulting classes popping up in universities

(36:24):
and colleges where you can pay somebody to tell you
what your parents should have taught you. I've got a
few other a few other stories along those lines. The
Alabama Law Enforcement Association is now offering tips to Alabamians
on how to cross the road. Yeah. Yes, people are

(36:49):
not being raised. Their parents are not teaching them the
simple basics of how to cross the street. And now yes,
and now, Alabama Law Enforce Association is offering tips to
help pedestrians not be killed when they're out and abound
this summer. I've got this story for you from WSFA

(37:12):
Television in Montgomery. They're a stepsister station to Fox ten.
Let's listen. What is the government teaching us how to
cross the street? Doors?

Speaker 4 (37:22):
That means walkers and joggers who at some point will
need to cross the street. Sadly, the number of traffic
accidents involving pedestrians is on the rise in Alabama. WUSFA
twelve News reporter Emma Ellis has our story.

Speaker 11 (37:36):
In the first six months of twenty twenty four, there
were sixty eight pedestrian deaths from traffic accidents in Alabama,
a one point five percent increased since twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Now, now they're already implying it's the pedestrian doesn't know
how that a pedestrian doesn't know how to cross the street. Now,
could it be just between you and me? Could it
be the that maybe there's more pedestrians getting hit because
people are not looking. People are not looking at the
road anymore. They're looking in their car, at their phone

(38:11):
or some type of smart display on the dashboard. They're
not actually looking at the world. They're looking at their
phone while they're driving. That's got to be why. It's
not that people have forgot how to cross the road,
is it?

Speaker 10 (38:23):
Everyone is a pedestrian, And what we mean by that is,
once you get out of a vehicle and you are
a round a roadway, you've gotten to understand and realize
that you are a pedestrian.

Speaker 11 (38:34):
A pedestrian right now?

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Now that was a state trooper. Now I want that man.
I need to find his name. I love his accent.
What a wonderful Southern accent this guy has. Everyone is
a pedestrian.

Speaker 10 (38:49):
What we mean by that is, once you get out
of a vehicle and you are a round a roadway,
you've gotten to understand and realize that you are a pedestrian.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Might see, you have to understand that once you're out
of the car, you go into a different category of
human people. Are people that dumb? Now do we need
to be told when we're a pedestrian?

Speaker 11 (39:13):
Pedestrian safety isn't just the job of the pedestrian or
the driver. It's a collaborative effort.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
So to make sure that you're are you come on,
how stupid. I'm sorry, listener, I know you're getting frustrated
with me, but are we that dumb? Now we have
to have we have to be told these things. Who's
doing the parenting in this country.

Speaker 11 (39:33):
Of the pedestrian or the driver. It's a collaborative effort.

Speaker 12 (39:36):
So to make sure that you're traversing in the right direction.
This trail that we're on right now has actual arrows
that kind of help guide traffics to make sure people
are walking towards the cars that are coming to them.
Also making sure that intersections they are paying attention. Also
for drivers, just to be mindful of the fact that
we are trying to become a more walkable city and
that's something that we should embrace, not something that is
a challenge. It's the way forward and it's the way

(39:57):
that we're going to grow as a city.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
By the way, that was a Montgomery City councilman explained
that they have they've got some sidewalks with arrows to
tell you what direction to walk in. Because you're too
dumb to be able to know how to walk.

Speaker 11 (40:11):
Crossing the street at a crosswalk, make sure you wait
for the walk sign to tell you it's your turn
to cross, then.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Now don't look both ways. Forget that. Forget looking both ways.
Look at the crosswalk sign because it gives you the
government thumbs up on walking.

Speaker 11 (40:28):
Look both ways before crossing. Oh remember, you may have
the right of way, but a driver who chooses to
ignore a red light can still cause substantial damage. But
what really you do when you need to cross the
street where there isn't any pedestrian infrastructure?

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Well, here we go, this is advanced. What do you
do if you have to cross the street and there's
no crosswalk? What does this mean? You just you're just
out of Look do you have to wait?

Speaker 10 (40:54):
You need to find the safest location with the least
amount of traffic possible to cross that roadway.

Speaker 11 (41:02):
Stay sick?

Speaker 2 (41:03):
How stupid are we? Again? I apologize for that. I
can't believe we have to tell people this.

Speaker 11 (41:08):
Efe and stay aware, Emma ls WSFA twelve News.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
Safety experts say it's always worth walking a little further
to find the safest place to cross a busy street.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Well really a safe safety experts say that it's worth
walking a little extra distance to find a safe spot.
All right, Well, thank you safety experts. What's next? How
about are they going to come in and what's some
type of you know, you can hurt yourself making a

(41:40):
sandwich if you're using a knife to spread mustard or
something like that. Do we have anybody to give us
a special class on how to make a sandwich without
stabbing ourselves to death while we're doing it. I just
it is how dumb can we be? They literally did

(42:01):
a TV report telling people to look both ways before
they cross the street, and we're this now. Think of
the Think of the distance between somebody that needs to
see this on TV. They don't know how to cross
the street. They've made it to twenty twenty five as

(42:22):
as an adult and they own a television. They need
somebody on TV to teach them how to cross the street.
On the other end of the spectrum, there's somebody like
Elon Musk that is inventing rockets that can go into
space and then come back and parallel park themselves. I mean,
what a great gulf there is in between somebody like

(42:45):
Musk and then somebody watching this TV channel needing to
learn what a pedestrian is and what you're saying, I
should look both ways? What all right? I'm sorry listen,
I apologize. I'm gonna take a time out. There's other
things to get into as the Uncle Henry Show continues,

(43:06):
but first a break for traffic and weather and words
for our sponsors. Let's please go ahead and take the
dad gum break, it says The Uncle Henry Show Here

(43:27):
on News Radio seventy ten WNTM News headlines coming up
in ten minutes on WNTM. In the last segment of
the show, I shared with you a sad report about
how the Alabama Law Enforcement Association is having to parent

(43:49):
Alabamians and teach Alabamians how to cross the road that
we don't have. We no longer have the intellectual capability.
We as citizens no longer have actual capability to safely
cross a road, and we need the government to teach
us how to cross a dad gum road. That was
That was the last segment of the show. An example

(44:12):
of how nobody is raising their kids. Well, I shouldn't
say that there are some people still raising their kids.
I still meet wonderful young people that are that are
full of vim and vigor and promise for the future,
that have learned how to read and write and do
arithmetic and they're just they're bright, young kids, pointed in
the right direction. But unfortunately, there's a lot more people

(44:35):
that just they're not raising their kids. They're going off
being kids themselves. When they're in their thirties, forties, fifties,
and sixties, they're being kids themselves, and nobody's raising their kids.
All right, Well, here's a here's another news item. Kind
of it kind of fits under that umbrella. There have
been lots of bear sightings. There have been for years

(44:58):
down here in South Alabama, and now Alabama has become
a bear wise state. Now what does that mean. Well,
there's some organization it's called bear Wise. Their website bearwise
dot Orge, and it's all about teaching people how to

(45:23):
live alongside of bears. Now, this is not about getting
rid of bears. This is about living alongside bears in
your neighborhood. I've got the story from Fox ten from
over the weekend. I believe the the highly experienced Steve

(45:44):
Alexander did the story. Let's listen together. I've got the
report here from Fox ten. Black bears.

Speaker 13 (45:56):
They've been spotted in several parts of Alabama, and we're
familiar with them. We've showed you here on foxtend News
videos of bears wandering around in sarah Land looking for
the basic necessities to survive.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
By the way, if you wonder what the bears were
looking for, Steve Alexander revealing to us the basic necessities.
That's all they're looking for, the bear necessities.

Speaker 13 (46:20):
But if you are thinking of helping them through leaving
food out for them, wildlife experts are asking you to
think twice. Alabama is now recognized as a bear Wise State.
That's a program dedicated to education on coexisting with wildlife,
especially black bears. Bear researcher Hannah Leeper said, bears getting

(46:42):
human food can turn into a death sentence for them.

Speaker 14 (46:47):
So there's a common adage out there. A fed bear
is a dead bear. And what that means is once
a bear is fed from a human or has access
to human provided foods, that bear will often have to
be euthanized or put down because it has learned that
humans are a food source.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
And so you'll notice, and I'm sorry for interrupting the
bear expert. You notice the focus is on the safety
of the bear. And now I've not heard a lot
about the safety of human beings in this report. It's
all about don't give the bear a twinkie, because then
the bear might be euthanized.

Speaker 14 (47:21):
I really want to avoid that.

Speaker 13 (47:24):
Although there have been several sightings of black bears, according
to Audoor Alabama, the majority of the bear sightings in Alabama,
interestingly enough, are in sarah Land.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Okay, congratulations to Saraland for having all these different bear sightings.
I do remember one of the recent sightings, and I
say recent in the last five years ago. It was
on TV some bus driver. She had live video of
her seeing a bear while she was driving the bus.

(47:56):
Do you remember this was no and that was not
a recreation. That was not me asking someone to do
an imitation of the the bus driver upset about the bear.
That was the real I think that was the bus driver. Now,
if you are in Sara Land, whether the bears are

(48:18):
being sighted, remember, according to the bear Wise bear expert
that we just heard on Fox ten, this is all
about the safety of the bear. Making sure that the
now your safety, that's up to you, that's up to you,
but trying to make sure that the bears are okay.

(48:39):
That's what a bear wives state would be. Now, if
you really want to learn about bears. Instead of watching
a Disney movie or something like that, maybe you should
watch the bizarre documentary called Grizzly Man. You may have

(48:59):
already heard of Grizzy Man. You may have already watched it,
but it is It is weird, weird documentary directed by
Werner Herzog. It is available on Amazon Prime Video. If
you already have Amazon Prime Video, you can watch Grizzly Man.
And it's about a nature photographer. I think he was

(49:22):
a photographer who fell in love with bears and wanted
to live with the bears in the woods. And spoiler alert,
it doesn't go well. Now, believe it or not. Believe
it or not, going and living with grizzly bears was
not a wise move anyway. That is a weird documentary.

(49:49):
Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man. Grizzly Man available on Amazon Prime
Video for Prime subscribers. All right, out of time, Thank
you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. As they say, Sirland,
have a good one, as say saying Theodore, take it easy,
all right Later,
