listen to Uncle Henry on news talk.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
This is the Uncle Henry's Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. And I thank you very very much,
thank you so much for listening to the Uncle Henry Show.
I appreciate it. I appreciate it now more than ever.

(01:22):
I do, now more than ever. I appreciated it then
I did, but now even more I appreciate it. Having
a job, having that income is a wonderful thing, it
really is. I really need the job, and so thank
you for allowing me to remain employed. And I like

(01:43):
the perks of employment. I've talked all about. I've talked
for years about how my company that I worked for, iHeartMedia.
They have just really they've done an outstanding job providing
coffee all these years. Since nineteen ninety eight, I don't
think there's been a day think of that. A stretch
from nineteen ninety eight they provided me coffee. What a

(02:05):
great employer to provide me with some coffee like that.
And also this time of year they provide free to
me indoor air conditioning. Yes, I can come in here
and get air conditioned. Now, that is so valuable. So
I'd like to thank my bosses and iHeartMedia for the

(02:26):
coffee and the air conditioning on a daylight today. Uh now,
in fact, let me start off. I got a lot
of things on my mind. I'd like to discuss with you,
but I got a message before the show started about
the weather. Let me go to the Uncle Henry Show
voicemail voicemail number two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. That's two five one two one six, nineteen

(02:48):
seventy six to leave a message Henry.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
If we can't say dagon, I'm hotter. I don't believe
we might see the devil him else we'll get out
and start walking around.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
It's hot.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
But anyway, Henry like.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
To remind everyone during this extreme heat to check on
your elderly.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
So, Henry, I'm checking.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
On my elderly. That's you, Uncle Henry.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Are you okay, Henry?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Hey, I'm pausing there to answer you. Yes, thank you.
I am okay. I've had As I explained, I have
a place to be during the day. I don't have
to worry about will I be able to afford the
AC at home or anything like that, or even have
a working AC. I'm blessed to have a job that
does provide air conditioning. So thank you for checking on me.

(03:45):
Thank you. This is important. We must all check on
on people who are elderly or less fortunate than us
to make sure that they also have the air conditioning
during the extreme heat.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
Are you okay, Henry?

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Do you have air conditioning in the inside is working?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
You don't have your thermostat accidentally moved over.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
To heat needs not this time?

Speaker 6 (04:09):
No, but uh anyway, Henry, I'll try to stay cool.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Because it is Dagum hot. But it's supposed to be.
We live in the Dagum subtropical climate and it's middle
of summertime, right. It's as hot as it needs to be.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Yes, I want to hear no Dagum.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
Tomfoolery about the global warmings.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Or the climate changes.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
It's always hot in the time of year.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
Anyway, Henry.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Just making sure you're beating this heat.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
You have a good day, differ. Thank you for caring
about me. You're the only person that checked on me today.
So Beauford, I'm counting on you, I guess from now on.
But you make a point about how this is summer.
We should expect this, right, we should expect this. But
I've noticed over the past and I know you've noticed
this too, over the past several decades, last twenty years,

(05:08):
especially weather. Younger generations act like weather has not happened before,
and they're I'm and I've tried to figure out what's
going on. Why is it always you know, wanting to
blame it on climate change or global warming or this
is this is being done, that is being done. See,

(05:28):
a lot of younger people act like weather has never happened.
Young adults people should know better, act like it's never
been hot in this summer, that we've never had floods,
we've never had hurricanes. They're looking for all these outside things.
And Beaufort, I'm wondering, is this have we raised a

(05:49):
couple of generations of narcissists. Is it does it tie
into narcissism where younger generations think, well, yeah, it might
have been hot for grandpa and mom and dad but
this is different. I'm the one feeling this. Certainly, the
weather that involves me has to certainly be more exceptional

(06:15):
in some way, because it's affecting me. It must be.
It's got to be grander. It's got to be grander
than what my grandparents experienced. They were just having a
regular summer. But this weather right now, it's affecting me,
it has There must must be more to it. This

(06:36):
is my new theory on why people are going around
acting like weather. There's something new about the weather. It's been.
It's been hot in the summer in these parts as
long as there's been summers in these parts. There have
been floods. Anytime it's rained a lot, there's been floods.

(06:59):
We have evidence that hurricanes have hit here before. It's
not it's not something exceptional.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Though.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Somebody cut funding for something, and now they cut funding
for this, and they keep driving these other cars, and
now we're not having just regular summer. We're having super
summer with heat domes and all these kind of things,
and the hurricanes are going to be stronger and all
this kind of stuff. Now, sorry, I think that's just

(07:29):
I think we've just raised a couple of generations of
narcissists that everything is just somehow more because if they're
if the younger person is experiencing it, it, there has
to be something exceptional about it, because we've been we've
been raised to believe that we are each one of
us extremely exceptional in every way, incapable of, incapable of

(07:53):
every individual, capable of somehow being master of the universe,
an emperor of all time, space and and everything. And
so yes, the weather must be. It's got to be.
This can't be like Grandpa's summer. Grandpa, you just had
regular summers. These are special. These have been affected by

(08:14):
different kind of emissions, these cows or having flatulence over
in Australia. And that's combined with Trump caught, he cut
the electric vehicle mandates and all this kind of stuff.
And here here we are super summer. No, it's regular hot,

(08:40):
and we'll make it through if we just have some
common sense. All right, there are many things to talk about,
and I'll get to a bunch of them as the
Uncle Henry Show moves forward. On this Monday, Uncle Henry's Show,

was thanking me for the dot more clip. Here is
the clip that I opened the show with from the
late great dot Moore. Oh this is dot more and I.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Just love to listen to Uncle Henry on Talk to

Uncle Henry on news talk.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
All right, thank you dot Moore. So the email reached.
Thank you for the dot more clip to open the show. Outstanding.
All I need to complete my day? Is an old
clip from What's Cooking with Dick and Samantha? Or how
about some gardening advice from Missus Morrison tighten up and
have a beautiful day. In that email from the common Man,
common Man, thank you for your email email address, Uncle

(11:05):
henrietiheartmedia dot com. So the common Man reminiscing about old
shows that used to be on this station years ago,
What's Cooking with Dick and Samantha and the Garden the
gardening show with Missus Morrison. I think it was called
the Garden Spot Now. Unfortunately, common Man, I don't have
any of the Missus Morrison show in my audio archives.

(11:29):
Unfortunately I do not have any of that. Although I
was a listener myself loved listening to Missus Morrison for
the years that she did that show on this radio station.
She was fantastic. It was a great show, had a

(11:52):
lot of respect for I think a couple of times
I had to come in. There was a couple of
times where we have and somebody had quit or had
been let go or something. I had to come in
and run the controls for her. So I got to
have a ringside seat for a couple of weeks and
actually run the controls while she hosted her show. That
was a lot of fun. And you mentioned What's Cooking

(12:14):
with Dick and Samantha, the cooking show that used to
be on this radio station, common man. Unfortunately, I don't
have any audio clips of What's Cooking with Dick and Samantha,
so I'm sorry I can't. And that was a cooking
show on radio where they talk about food and people
would send in recipes and they'd give recipes. I don't

(12:36):
have that, but I do call her.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Hang on.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
I'll get to your call here in a second. I
do have one brief clip of Dick Scott, the late
great Dick Scott. I recorded this at a staff meeting.
This is him not on the radio. This is him
talking to the other people that worked here on this frequency.

(13:01):
Back in like nineteen eighty six. He was talking to
people like me. Ron Reims was on the staff, Randy
Patrick was hosting the Randy Patrick Show. Here is a
Here is a brief clip of the late great Dick
Scott telling all of us how we should conduct ourselves

(13:24):
on the air.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
Please try to refrain on anything you do, whether it's news,
whether it's sports, whether it's talk, whether it's the weather,
makes not differ. Let's be up about mobile in South Alabama.
Just because we've been in a drought or maybe it's
rained for ten days, don't say, well, it's another chromy

(13:46):
day on the air. You know, let's be up whether
it's the weather, let's not get our a listener. Then
let's try to make you know.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
There was a part timer that brought her baby to
the meeting. These were ain't times.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
The thing is, we want our listeners to think that
everything is quoted. You know, you may be having a
rotten day in studio, or you may have just totaled
your car or your house burned down or something.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
But you know, even if my house burned down, I
was supposed to come in with a be very happy
on the air.

Speaker 7 (14:25):
The part of your life or the part of their life,
if you're projecting, is something that you're supposed to be
bringing them entertainment on radio. And we're one of those
few stations in the market that you can say that.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Really all right, So his instructions to us all were
to be upbeat, to be upbeat and positive and not negative.
So common Man, thank you for your email. Think thank
you for reminding me that I had that I forgot
I had that clip of Dick Scott from all those
years ago. Two five, one, four seven nine, two seven
two three. The telephone number, Hello caller.

had him on the show, and I talked with mister Switzer,
the owner in pennsycol and well, I'm gonna tell you

I said, I'll be stepping into a misunderstanding between business
partners and they're doing, you know, in business here. I'm

hiding son. Something bad's gonna happen. Let's gonna get wet.

(15:49):

you know, or anything of that sort. That's that's not
what I'm all about. I just want to talk about
the good things mobile and cover the good news and
mobile for a change. That's what I want to start
doing from now on. So my investigative reporting will be
on good stuff night you know, the drama going on

(16:11):
in Mobile.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Okay, So from that you've called a telescrip. From now on,
you're going to be upbeat and not report on drama
on your podcast.

Speaker 8 (16:22):
No.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
I don't even allow drama in my home, Uncle Henry,
not with my friends or anything. I don't want to
be a part of any drama. I want to be
a part of this good stuff, you know. So I
got to stay away from the drama from now on.
And it's just some good things that's going on there
I don't want to talk about.

Speaker 9 (18:36):
Hello caller, Yes, Uncle Henry.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yes, sir? I can you are live on the radio.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yes, sir, I just I just had to complain about
our wonderful US Postal service. What happened here in Mobile? Well, uh,
they want to go up on the rates if you've
got a post office box, and on top of that,
they want to close the box down your access from
six I think six pm to six something in the morning.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
It's taking their twenty four to seven privileges away, and
it's like they're gonna have to get some kind of
security assigned because the homeless are coming in there and
tearing up the place and whatever. And it's just not
right to the ones that having to pay that full amount.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Isn't it amazing? It's amazing, isn't it what's happening with
the postal service.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
Yes, it's just seems like it's always an issue with them.
They got it. They got to go up on their
rates or whatever. And Jude, I paid what my dad's
paying right now. He pays in six months. I used
to pay in a year in North Alabama yep, for
a post office box. Now you don't have your twenty

(19:52):
four to seven privileges because of the homeless messing all
that up, and they don't want to do any have
any kind of security to stop it.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, it is I look, it's they keep losing more
and more money as each years goes by. I have
no idea where it's headed.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
Yeah, a swirl gets crazier by the day. It seemed
like that's right.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
And the simple pleasure of being able to go to
your post office box at two am if you want to.
That's that's now that's taken away from us.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Well, sir, I feel your pain, I really do.

Speaker 5 (20:33):
Well. I hope they do something about it. Maybe they will,
maybe they'll get embarrassed by me putting this on the air.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well, please don't hold your breath.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
Well, no, not not these days on anything.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Exactly what it is. All right, We'll appreciate you left
me all right. Well, hey, thank you for sharing that
with me. I appreciate your phone call today, Thank you,
sir for calling, and I do. I talked about it
last week. The more you if you think about what
the post office was created to do, when it was created,
and where we are now, it doesn't make three quarters

(21:12):
of what it does, doesn't make any sense anymore.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
But but.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
No change. Just allocate more money, raise money, change your prices.
Caught the stamps cost more. Everything costs more. But let's
keep on doing what ain't working? Two five one or
some nine three the telephone number. Hello color, Hi, Hey,

(21:37):
you are live on the radio.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
Hi.

Speaker 9 (21:40):
You were talking about global warming and climate change. I
think that's a miss.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
It is well, it certainly appears to be. Yes, yeah, hey, I.

Speaker 9 (21:49):
Wrote a poem about it. Can I read it upon
your show?

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Please do.

Speaker 9 (21:54):
Climate change the myths. Nobody can explain why it's starting.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
We all know the way.

Speaker 9 (22:00):
There's getting warmer because Henry's mother's party.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
What just hell dare you?

Speaker 5 (22:04):
How dare you?

Speaker 1 (22:05):
How dare you attack my mother in a sick what
a sick, filthy, perverted way. It's getting worse, It's getting worse.
That's sick. And to use a rhyming, I mean that
is just ugh because the brain, you know, the rhyming,
when you create verse and rhymes like that, it lulls

(22:27):
the brain into a false sense of opening. I mean
the brain is more open then it's it's a it's
seductive in its way when you put it in a
rhyme like that, and then you you you open up
the brain, You lower the brain's defenses because the brain
think it's getting a wonderful little nursery rhyme or something
nice like that. That'll that'll feel good in your brain.

(22:50):
And then you slip in something perverted and sick. You're
a sick pervert. And I hope you know what I'm
hoping is some good governmental agency. We know they're all
spying on us at all times, all of us. I
hope that one of these governmental agencies is picking up
on all the kind of stuff you're saying. I hope
they're picking up on it. I hope that you're writing

(23:12):
it down somewhere. I hope it's I hope you have
some type of record online in one of these cyber units.
Sheriff Birch out there. I hope that the sheriff is
aware of this Sheriff Birch in Mobile County. I'm assuming
that sounded that's either if I had to pick where

(23:34):
that call came from, I believe it's either Mobile County
or near Baymonette. That's what look And don't be offended
baming at people. I'm just basing this on previous previous
life experiences. That's where the perverts are. And I hope that.

(23:54):
I just I hope that the sheriff and these cyber
units they keep catching all these online predators. I hope
they can catch this guy. I'm gonna tell I'm gonna
as disgusting as it is, I'm going to send an
email to the Sheriff's department, and I'm going to put
in the certain keywords to look for and it's I
hate to even type amount, but I ugh disgusting. It's

(24:16):
getting worser and worser. All right, listener, I apologize for that.
But as we as we're all learning, as we have
evidence every day, just like the call about the post office,
so many of our institutions are crumbling in this country
and are unable to provide us with the services they
used to provide the post office. This man can't check

(24:37):
his He wanted to be able to check his post
office box at two am. One of the simple pleasures
in life is if you've got insomnia, you go see
as anybody mail me something. Now you won't be able
to do that. And the simple just being able to
take a phone call. Somebody calling in about a pothole.
Now I can't. I can't take that call without wondering

(24:57):
is somebody gonna say something filthy and perverted about my mother?
These these simple interactions in life, and it's and it's
all because people didn't raise their People have just given
up on raising their children because they want to be
they want to be adults. Drinking all kind of hemp
beverages and things just going off and doing their own

(25:20):
thing and not raising their kids. All right, let me
go back to the phones. Hello caller, Hello, all right,
that is disgusting. All right, that's an i'm i'm, i'm,

(25:46):
I'm stopping the live calls for this segment of the show.
If you want to call in, maybe in the next segment.
But I at this point, the they're out, they've activated
each other. You know. All it takes is one free
and then it stimulates another freak, and it's kind of
like it's that horrible you know, the first time we

(26:07):
had that horrible shooting out there and Columbine, and then
there were copycats that erupted and all over the country
there are all these copycat things threateningo. It's the same
with these prank calls. It's just one person and then
that stimul you know, there's another freak or another weirdo
out there, and before you know it, every type of
odd and end lunatic has been activated again. You know,

(26:32):
I need to I need to get with a sheriff's
department and start compiling all of this and let them
see if they're cyber unit, maybe this would fall under
the purview of one of those government agencies that spies
on us all the dad gum time. Certainly, this weirdo
that is calling in about my mother is saying things

(26:53):
in front of an Amazon Alexa or a Google Voice
thing or something. Certainly there's some corporate, some quasi corporate
governmental entity that is spying on this person. There's got
to be a way to access this and find them
and cuff them and beat them and put them in
a paddywagon and drive them off to somewhere away from here.

(27:14):
That would be my dream. All right, There is more
to come. Probably shouldn't be, but there is. I still
do need the job, and even enduring all of the
filth and the demonic attack, this still is an air

(27:39):
conditioned building, so I'm not leaving yet. Uncle Henry's Show.

(28:05):
It is five fifty. We have news headlines coming up
in ten minutes from Fox Radio National News, and then

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Tight huck been.

Speaker 10 (28:30):
I'm sitting out here on the front porch's been listening
to some sports talking podcast and whatnot. A reminder forty
days until the University of Alabama football team peas it
up with the Florida State Seminoles.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Forty days Roll, Ted, Roll, and if.

Speaker 10 (28:50):
I'm not mistaken, memory serves me the two point thirty
pm Central Time kickoff in Tallahassee.

Speaker 9 (28:57):
Also Uncle to let you know what I have done.

Speaker 10 (29:01):
This weekend, mew TV had an outstanding movie help from
nineteen thirty four. It was The Black Edgar Allan Poe's
The Black Cat with Boris Carlong and Beyla Lagosi. It
was It was awesome, buddy, it was awesome.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
By the way.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
A little tidbit on it.

Speaker 10 (29:26):
It was the first movie that was done with a
continuous music playing in the background. Of course, it's all instrumental,
kind of horror sounding, you know, from a symphony I spit,
but it from start to finish it played in the
background the whole time. That was the first time they'd

(29:48):
ever done that in a movie. Just a little bit
for you there.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
I think it's sixty eight year old Chris, thank you.
You know this could be a new a new hobby
for you. Is movie reviews for the Uncle Henry Show.
Just whatever you find on me TV.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
Oh yeah, well what about this?

Speaker 10 (30:09):
What about this stuff on old King Obama? Yes, what
we've known all along. I'd blame it. Biden sures he
couldn't enforce any orders, and Hillery thought she had it soda.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
But I'll let you call me more on that.

Speaker 10 (30:31):
It will nothing ever happen to him anyhow. All Right,
I reckon, that's gotten me covered for now. I'll be
listening intently back to Sean Hannity at the moment.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Take it easy, brother, all right, sixty eight year old Chris,
thank you for the report. Thank you for the kickoff
notice forty days to kick off roll time row. You
mentioned the stuff about President Obama and all of those
different issues with Tulsi Abberd, the Director of National Intelligence
releasing a lot of documents that showed that originally the

(31:10):
original intelligence assessments were that Russia did not have a
big impact on that election, and then they changed the
intelligence assessments to create Russia Gate. Yeah, that's been in
the news all weekend long. Here is Fox News reporter
David spunt.

Speaker 11 (31:32):
D and I Tulca Gabbert put out this information on Friday,
more than one hundred documents. Gabbert says the Obama team
previously found no Russian interference in the twenty sixteen election,
but then the narrative change shortly before Donald Trump took
office in twenty seventeen.

Speaker 12 (31:49):
There's no question in my mind that this intelligence community
assessment that President Obama ordered be published, which contained a
manufactured intelligence document, it's worse than even politicization of intelligence.

Speaker 11 (32:03):
Now, critics say miss Gabbert is confleeting two different things,
and Democrats.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Well, you can look at the documents for yourself. The
critics can look at the documents. The documents tell the tale.
But will anything happen to anybody over all? This hard
to believe it will, sixty eight year old Chris, It
is hard to believe that anything will happen. I like
that the documents are being released, and I hope more are,

(32:32):
but there are many reasons that I don't think anything
will happen to anybody over this. One of them is
that it's it was not just Democrats involved. There were
Republicans involved too. You'll remember that were there were investigations
allegedly into it. There was a lot of a lot

(32:54):
of covering up things that went on, and a lot
of Republicans participated. So us let's see the Select the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Cotton, who's a Republican.
They've come out with the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year twenty twenty six, and in that legislation, they are

(33:19):
looking to modify the responsibilities and authorities of the Director
of National Intelligence. They want to remove the ability of
the Director of National Intelligence to actually do independent review
of intelligence findings. So they have already decided Tulca Gabbertt

(33:42):
is looking around a little bit too much, and so
they've already got legislation ready to go to change the
definition of that particular job to make sure that she
doesn't stir up any more of this trouble. So though
the wagons are being circled by people in both parties,

(34:04):
but still before that's passed, I hope as many documents
come out as we can get, just so we can
all know it, says The Uncle Henry Show here on

(34:35):
News Radio seventy ten WNTM. Thank you for listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate it very very much.
Now in this half hour of show, going to get
to some news items that I missed. You may have
missed them too. Now let me start off with something
that I have to wonder, is this news? Is this

(34:57):
really news? And that's something I ask myself every day
when I watch local news from both the Gulf Coast
and from around the region. I'll see news items and
I wonder, why did they cover that? Why? Why are
they not out investigating something? Here is an example. Here's

(35:21):
a story from w SFA Television in Montgomery. They're a
stepsister station of Fox tent Now, instead of investigating something
telling us what's going on in the world around us,
they have a story about how July is National cell
Phone Courtesy Month. Now, this is considered a big enough issue.

(35:47):
People apparently are not courteous enough on their smartphones, and
so this is something that needs to be brought forward
on a newscast. Yes, so let's I know there's people
out there being shot, there's government entities that are wasting money,
who knows what kind of stuff is going on, but
no people people being rude on their smartphone is a

(36:11):
big enough story to get some time, to get several
minutes on the news. So let's learn together. July is
National cell Phone Courtesy Month. Let's turn things over to
WSFA to find out what we should know about rudeness
on our cell phones.

Speaker 13 (36:27):
My consumer watch this morning, July is National cell Phone
Courtesy Month. It's a time to reflect on your cell
phone habits and maybe even make a few changes.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
All right, now, this is a time to reflect on
your habits. This has already been put in your lap.
You just tuned into the news to find out what's
going on, and they're already talking about you needing to reflect. Really,
by the way, to anybody in the news industry, in
television news, if I turn on the news, I don't
want to hear about me because I'm the number one

(36:58):
source on me. I live as me. There's not much
you can tell me about me unless there's somebody coming
up behind me about to do something to me, and
then you can tell me, hey, update, there's somebody behind you.
You better turn around. Other than that, I'm the number
one source on me. I don't need you to ask

(37:20):
me to reflect on nothing. I need you to tell
me about other stuff going on. All right, back to
the I'm sorry, I just had to say that. Back
to the story from where we left off war it
to being told that now we need to reflect You
and I need to reflect on our habits with our
cell phones.

Speaker 13 (37:40):
Or your cell phone habits, and maybe even make a
few changes. WSFA TELV newsporter Bethany Davis did a little
research on cell phones and how people use them. Bethany,
this is one of those topics everyone.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Has because we have to do search on it because
most of us have no idea what one is or
how people use it.

Speaker 13 (37:57):
Right, hanging on, and everyone has a pet peeve about both.

Speaker 14 (38:01):
And cell phones are a part of our lives. They
aren't going anywhere, and just like everything else, there is
an etiquette to using them.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
And by the way, she says, cell phones are not
going anywhere, don't be so don't be so sure of that,
because they're now putting the same technology in watches, in eyeglasses.
I'm there may be a day ten years from now,
fifteen years and from now that you'll just have it

(38:27):
implanted in your head. Yeah, it could happen. You could
become a cyborg. All right, back to the useless report
on cell phones.

Speaker 14 (38:35):
Just like everything else, not everyone is so polite. So
let's first go over how cell phones have become such
a prominent part of our everyday life. G research survey
found the vast majority of Americans ninety eight percent now
owns a cell phone of some kind. Now, sixty seven
percent of cell phone owners find themselves checking their phones

(38:57):
for messages, alerts, or calls even when they don't even
notice their phone ringing or vibrating. And here's another interesting finding.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Well, of course, we of course we do this because
that's that's how we get messages.

Speaker 14 (39:10):
From a US Cellular survey, thirty seven percent of users
say others get upset with them for their phone use.
Sixty three percent say they get upset at others for
phone use. So I ask etiquette coach Regina Cooley about
some of the most common pet peeves about cell phone.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
An etiquette coach, I guess I need tom, I guess
I need to be grateful that there's such a thing
in twenty twenty five as an etiquette coach, because the
cell phones, the smartphones, and many in many cases that's
the that's one of the top technologies with lots of innovation.
I saw commercial over the weekend for a new phone

(39:50):
that's going to be that folds out and folds in
half and all. This kind of stuff always new innovation there.
But when it comes to etiquette, it's not that different
from when people first came up with the concept of etiquette.
Who was it, Emily Post? All right, I'm sorry back.
We're going to hear from an etiquette coaches is.

Speaker 8 (40:13):
That they don't want to hear the people next to
them conversation, especially if they're out and they were hoping
to get some peace and quiet, or they're at the
restaurant and trying to enjoy their time with someone else.
They don't want to hear another person's conversation.

Speaker 14 (40:27):
So we'll talk a little bit more this morning about
what cell phone a courtesy really means and some things
we can all do a little differently to minor manners
a little better when it comes to our cell phones.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
All right, So that was I guess we had to
do a two part story. The first part was to
just remind us that people can be rude on their
cell phone, and then the second part to tell us
what to do. Now, I'm not going to share with
you the second part of the story, but I do
have the outline on it, and this is what they
let The reporter was making sure that you and I
reflected on. She says that the way to mind your

(41:03):
manners with your cell phone is to turn your cell
phone off before meetings, meals, and meaningful moments. Whatever a
meaningful moment would be. If you accept an emergency call
during some gathering, excuse yourself as quietly and calmly as
possible from the gathering with an apology. Also, use text

(41:28):
messaging so that you don't have to say a word,
keep it private. Don't display anger during a public call
that people might overhear. Avoid sell, yell. Remember to use
your regular conversational tone when speaking on your phone in public.

(41:51):
Also avoid having ridiculous and loud ring tones. All right,
So that's where we are, and instead of reporting on
governments wasting money or information we might need, this is
part of the news, is being told to not have

(42:12):
a ridiculous or loud ring tone on your phone. Now
this kind I don't know why, but this makes me
want to have a ridiculous and loud ring tone. I
don't know what that says about me, but just hearing
that some etiquette coach is saying, don't have a ridiculous
ring tone, now I want to find the most ridiculous
ring tone. I can, and I'll keep you updated on

(42:35):
whether or not I find one sufficiently ridiculous. All right,
Well that was of no use to any of us,
was it. But can we just get back to the
news outlets. Can we get back to actually covering news
and not like it's National cell Phone Etiquette Week or
whatever the heck it is? All right, just just asking,

(42:57):
all right, there's more to come. Yes, I'm going to
find more. I'm going to try to find actual news
or something passing as it in the next segment of
the show. Meanwhile, let's take the break, it says the

(43:26):
Uncle Henry's show, News Radio seven WNTM. News headlines are
coming up in ten minutes. Before we get to the
news headlines, I have a few stories that I missed.
You might have missed them two. Both of them are
from Fox News. This first one is a report about

(43:49):
a brand new gigantic cruise ship that is about to
start taking people on cruises. It's a gigantic ship. Let's
listen together to the this new cruise ship story.

Speaker 15 (44:01):
A new star becomes visible from Florida's space coast. It's
the Star of the Seas. The largest cruise vessel in
the world, underway on its shakedown cruise from its construction
port in Finland, docking at Florida's Port Canaveral August fifteenth,
The crowning jewel of the Royal Caribbean Fleet will embark
on its maiden voyage August thirty first, a virtual city

(44:24):
at sea with thirty decks for a mind boggling five
thousand passengers.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Thirty decks and five thousand passengers. I just, even though
it sounds really big, I think I would feel claustrophobic,
knowing I couldn't leave if I were stuck on really
any vessel of any size, for I don't know how
many days you're on it, But what if you didn't

(44:52):
like the people you were with?

Speaker 8 (44:55):
What if?

Speaker 12 (44:56):
What?

Speaker 1 (44:56):
I just this is the kind of thing that I
would love to learn about. I'd even love to see
a documentary about how it all works with five thousand
people on there. But I definitely wouldn't want to be
a part of the group.

Speaker 15 (45:08):
The largest water park on the sea and even a
Broadway stage lowest price ticket nine hundred and fifty one
dollars making stops in the Caribbean. Then the floating city
docks off the Royal Caribbean private island. Terrese Crowley, Fox News.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
I'm just when I go on vacation, when I the
rare times I do get to take some time and
do something other than just rest at home, I don't want.
I don't want it to be completely regimented the way
a lot of cruise ship stuff is. I just I
would feel claustrophobic, even on the largest cruise ship. I've

(45:46):
only been on one cruise in my life. This would
have been in the early nineties, and I, unfortunately, about
a day into the cruise I contract acted a stomach bug.
Back back in the early nineties. The people on the

(46:06):
ship referred to it as Montezuma's revenge, and I had
to spend most of the cruise in the bathroom. I
apologize for bringing that up, but maybe that is why
I have a psychological issue with cruises, because I know
you love them. I know a lot of people that
love cruises. I've got a coworker that anytime she can

(46:29):
get off from work, she's I don't know how many
times a year she's out on a cruise ship, but
five thousand people and thirty decks that's just a lot
of cruise. Again, I would watch a documentary or even
a TV show about what it's like to be on
the thing. It's got think about it. With that many people.
You need a police force, you need a hospital, you

(46:51):
need everything you need on land practically, So I'd be
interested in learning about it. I just don't want to
be stuck on it or in pre on it. Maybe
that's uh. If it doesn't work out for whatever reason,
maybe it can be retrofitted as some type of special prisonship.
All right, one more story here before amount of time.
This has to do with the national economy of France.

(47:18):
They have a new idea in France to cut their
national debt, and that idea is to get rid of
two national holidays. Here is Fox News's Jonathan Savage reporting
now on how France is thinking about getting rid of
two national holidays because of their economy.

Speaker 16 (47:39):
The goal to cut overall spending while allocating more money
to defense. The plan two more days at work for
everyone in France. Prime Minister Francois Berroux says Easter Monday
should be a regular working day. Also May eighth, when
the Allied Second World War victory over the Nazis is marked.
The centrist Prime minister has been criticized for his idea

(48:00):
by politicians from both the right and left.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Of course, look, nobody, no politician wants to go to
the people and say we have not managed money properly.
The answer is you must work two extra days a
year to pay for what we have mismanaged.

Speaker 16 (48:18):
They think all eleven public holidays should stay in place.
Prime Minister Beru insists the French economy is in mortal
danger and radical solutions such as fewer holidays are the
only answers. Jonathan Savage, Fox.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
News, I don't know anything about this, which makes me
perfectly qualified, of course to be on radio talking about it.
But look, they probably have too many national holidays in France.
I think we have a few too many in the
United States. But the idea that canceling two of them

(48:53):
will suddenly strengthen their economy does not fly for me.
It just does not. You can't, that's just no no.
I'm if I were living there, I would say come
up with a different idea, maybe manage the money better,
because it just the idea that all they have to

(49:13):
do is I'm going to eliminate two national holidays and
suddenly they can afford to spend more on their national defense.
And no, it just sounds like it just sounds like
a BS from politicians, is what it sounds like, even
in French. All right, out of time for this edition
of the unc Lenberg Show. Thank you very much for

(49:35):
listening to it, or trying to listen to it, listening
to it as much of it as you can stand.
I appreciate whatever it is that you're doing there, but
thank you for listening. As they say in Sarland, have
a good one, and as they say in Beautiful Theodore Alabama,
take it eaves

Speaker 3 (49:58):
All right later
