Speaker 1 (00:04):
And I know that I did.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
When I woke up this morning and a quarter of six,
I said, this is going to be a great day
in the city of Mobile.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
And I felt so good.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Good morning, Uncle Henry.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
When I woke up this morning at five thirteen and
thirty two seconds, I knew this.

Speaker 5 (00:19):
Was going to be a great day in the city
of Mobile.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Let's not forget elderly. This says the Uncle Henry Show.
Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio seventy ten WNTM.

(01:17):
I appreciate you listening to the Elkle Hendry Show. Thank
you very much for listening to the Uncle Henry Show
here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. Once again, here
we are together. It's me and you trying to figure
out what is going on in the world around us.
If you would like to call the show, you can

(01:37):
two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
That's two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That is
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Uh, any communication to
the show. I don't really care what you call in
about as long as it's not about filth. As long
as it's not pornographic in nature, about human reproduction, anything scatological,

(01:58):
you know, nothing nasty on the Uncle Henry Show. And
that is for the safety of the listener as well
as the host. Now we've got, as usual, so much
to get into. On the Unk Henry Show, a new
pope was selected, a new pope, Pope Leo, an American pope.

(02:20):
I'll tell you this. I was on ninety five KSJ today.
I was playing Today's Hottest Country, a lot of Morgan Wallen,
Luke Bryan and then additional Morgan Wallen. And while I
was playing Today's Best Country, the Hottest Country on ninety
five KSHJA, they had the new Pope and they announced
that the pope was an American, an American pope. Now

(02:41):
found out later he's got dual citizenship. I think he's
also got citizenship in Peru or something Perubian, but also
American Pope. Now, I was on the X app you've
heard of. X used to be called Twitter, and they've
got a feature where you can search with a keyword
and then see the very latest tweets about any topic. Whatever,

(03:04):
whatever you search for, you can see the latest thing
and it can be a lot of fun. If you're
watching sports or something, you could see the very latest thing.
People are saying, you should have seen the people when
they found out it was an American pope. People in
other countries they were not they were not. Now a
lot of Americans very happy that there's an American pope,

(03:25):
But I was looking at all these people from around
the world. They were not having it. They were not
having it. They didn't like it. So that's kind of good. Now, look,
at least from my standpoint. Now, the new Pope, I
understand the new Pope is from the South side of Chicago.

(03:46):
Did you do you hear about that? The new pope,
Pope Leo from the South side of Chicago? So if
I were interviewing the new Pope, I would, of course
the first question would obviously be growing up on the
South side of Chicago. Did you know Leroy Brown? Was

(04:07):
Lee Roy Brown in your circle? Did you know of
bad bad Lee Roy Brown? Because we've heard a lot
about Lee Brown through the years, and I'd like to
know if the Pope knew Leroy Brown. If the Pope,
I don't know, maybe he was bullied as a child
by Lee Roy Brown. We don't know, because Lee Roy
Brown you're aware of Lee Roy Brown, baddest man in
the whole dang town. So you've got to be very

(04:30):
careful about around the South Side of Chicago with Leroy Brown.
So anyway, new Pope, congratulations to the Catholics on this.
I understand that a lot of non Catholics worried about
the politics of the Pope because they've looked. They looked
at all of his ex posts and the Pope the

(04:50):
new Pope Leo not a fan of Trump, an open
borders kind of pope. Verry woke, very woke. But I'll
leave that to the Catholics to figure out how they
feel about it. So congratulations new Pope, and from America

(05:10):
the South side of Chicago with ties to bad bad
Leroy Brown. Now I've already received a voicemail that mentioned
the new Pope. Let me go to the elk Cuandary
show voicemail.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
Well, Uncle Henry, this is Rob Morris with Mobile Partment
Radio contacting you for the first time. Well, you know,
we got a new pope, and that's an American guy
who speaks Spanish Italian Aladin. Pretty impressivet I just wasn't impressed.
He didn't he didn't speak in English at all.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Hum, all right, well, give him time, give him time.
He's just freshly. I'm sure he'll talk a little English
for yourange.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
And other news you haven't heard, the United States Supreme
Court has said that transgender people cannot be in our military. Right,
great news of the militay. And now the Marine Corps
has updated their motto, the Marines looking for a few
good men and women with nope.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
All right, rob thank you, Uncle Henry, Yes, thank you,
Thank you for your voicemail. The voicemail number two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. But rob, if
you're gonna, if you're gonna call the program, that had
to be bleeped because rob Uh talked about a body part.
And as I mentioned earlier, just a few moments ago,

(06:36):
I would prefer this program not have body parts mentioned
any especially the parts that we cover up intentionally, you know,
the ones I'm talking about. We make an effort to
make sure that at the very least certain parts of
us are covered. So if those parts are mentioned, don't
call in about those parts of the body. Keep it
to parts of the body. That we can see like
an arm, or a leg or a head. All right,

(07:00):
let's see what else? What else did I want to
mention to you here in the beginning of the program,
I got a delivery today. The self appointed poet Laureate
of the Uncle Henry Show has submitted a new, a
new a work for the program. I'm going to share

(07:23):
with you. This is a new poem about Amtrak going
to New Orleans. So coming up in the next segment
of The Uncle Ambry Show. I don't know, maybe you'll
call in. There are many other news items to talk about,
but I also have a new poem. Yes, this is

(07:43):
I don't know how many talk shows have poems featured
on the program, but have a new poem from the
self appointed poet Laureate of the program about Amtrak's new
Marty Grass service between Mobile and New Orleans. So we'll
get into all of that and much much more as

and there's plenty news items to get into. I mentioned
I got a poem mailed to me in the mail
by someone who describes themselves as the self appointed poet

(09:33):
Laurid of the Uncle Henry Show. Uh this mailing. Uh
they used three forever stamps, and I don't know what
a forever stamp costs these days, but it took three
of them. Hey, caller, hang on, if you want to wait,
I'm just going to read a brief poem. Uh, this reads, Uh,

(09:54):
dear Uncle Henry, please find in closed apologies to Bats Domino,
Johnny Mercer, and Robert Frost. So this is a poem.
I guess it is loosely based on Walking to New
Orleans the song. The poem is entitled Riding to New

(10:17):
Orleans a Fable, and it reads as follows. I was
walking to New Orleans, mister Domino and me. But now
I'm riding on the Amtrak. The ticket's almost free. No
pickup truck, no turnip truck, no greyhound motor bus going
to New Orleans. Come on now and join us. I'll

(10:39):
wear my wide brimmed panama and my seersucker coat and
in my well worn Oxford's I'll be a dirt road sport.
I go up to the dining car and watch the
world go by. I'm sure to have some coffee and
perhaps a piece of pie. Lake Poncher train wider than

(11:00):
a mile crossing over Pontcha train crossing you in style. Yes,
going to New Orleans, going to the zoo, Going to
New Orleans, you come to And that was the poem.
Writing to New Orleans a Fable by the self appointed
poet laureate of the Uncle Henry Show in honor of

(11:23):
the new Amtrak boondoggle that will be the Marty Gross
service between Mobile and New Orleans. Thank you, thank you
for the poem. I appreciate that bear very much. Mailed

The telephone number to call on the Uncle Henry Show.

Speaker 7 (11:46):
Hello caller, Well, mister Henry, this is honor like you've
been around here forever. I never know I get in
become a mayor. But I'm having a question. It seemed
like a problem over there with the water people. Now,
if you ever pay the water bill, it comes out
of Birmingham, So I think the folks own the water

(12:08):
or says they owned the waters from Birmingham and Birmingham
don't give a hood if nobody gives a hoot in
Alabama about us past the salt line. And could you
give me any info on what's going on?

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Well, now, what is the problem. Are you having a
problem or you just wondering why your bill comes from
out of town?

Speaker 7 (12:25):
No, I'm having a problem. Why they can't let the
people cold fish there? You know?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Oh, the Big Creek Lake thing. Yeah, well, I mean
you've heard all the arguments. They're worried about invasive species
that you might get your you might bring a dirty
boat in there with all kind of invasive species hanging
on there and a fall off into the water and
reproduce and clog up all the fly about, clog ab
all the drink of water, and who knows, they're just

(12:51):
worried about you getting all that water dirty and messing
it up.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
Well, I mean like a bird to come down there.

Speaker 8 (12:58):
And drop these droppings, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 7 (13:01):
I mean, like the rain to do it, you know,
And you can't say no, that's all God's stuff. If
you can't stop God, if you want to sit there,
He's gonna put.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
It there, that's right. Hey.

Speaker 7 (13:13):
And having a clean I ain't going to stop one
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (13:17):
Well, I just tell I'm saying what I mean, How
do you feel about it? Do you like?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Well?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, I love to fish. I used to live out there,
and I've told the story about after Hurricane Frederick, Uh,
just about everybody in the neighborhood went and bathed in
Big Creek Lake. I mean that was it was just
a part of life. The people out there have lived
in that lake and on that lake for their lifetimes,
and you're suddenly being told you can't do it anymore. Uh,

(13:45):
it certainly doesn't sound right to me.

Speaker 7 (13:49):
They got hometown? Was that Homeland Security?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yes, yes, Homeland Security.

Speaker 7 (13:56):
I mean that I knew them boys was taking on
the big boy ways up in Birmingham. I didn't know
they're going to bring out the big guns.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Well, yeah, I mean, who knows. I mean, they're worried
about whatever you might put in that lake. They're worried
about you, and like your dirty.

Speaker 7 (14:10):
Boat after you said you people bathed. Oh yeah, you
know how many drunks fell in there? You know? You
know what drunks do in the water.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yes, sir, Unfortunately they make it nasty.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
Yeah, I mean, and nobody complained then, So they're gonna
complain about a mysterious bug coming down from up north.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
I guess, sir. Yeah, you've seen it line up. The
forces have lined up against the people that want to
fish in that lake.

Speaker 7 (14:39):
Have you do you fish out there? Do you do
you really care that what we're being really invaded? Again?
One of the big boys, Well.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, I don't fish out there. But I think you
ought to be able to Yeah.

Speaker 7 (14:51):
Yeah, okay, well you know, I mean, you're an important
person in town, and I figured I just call and
tell you t tell you about it and maybe you
can help them guys.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right, well, sir, thank you for thank you for calling.
I'll see, I'll try and figure if I can do anything.

Speaker 7 (15:10):
Yeah, you can do anything. You've been around forever. I mean,
like I mean, you first first person you had on
air was in that country station with a chicken, and
that was way back then, So you can do anything.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Country station with a chicken.

Speaker 7 (15:25):
Okay, Then you work at the country weren than your
first gig at a country station?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
No, uh, my first gig, to use a slang term
for radio job, My first gig was at wab F
and Fair Hope, Alabama. Then I was at w m
m L Country Radio in Mobile, so that was my
second stop.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Huh.

Speaker 7 (15:52):
But like I said, you've been around forever and you
can do something.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
All right. All right, Well, I'll give it some thought,
So thank you sure, thank you very much for your
phone call. I enjoyed talking to you and remembering the
life around Big Creek Lake and bathing in it and
fishing in it and do all that stuff in there.
But sir, you've noticed people are there's we've had a

(16:16):
division in the culture where a bunch of people have
gotten more masculine and more able to deal with the
pressures of life. They're going to gymnasiums, they're eating all meat,
and they're getting all built up. And then there's another
part of our society that's just gotten softer and more
afraid of everything. They enjoyed wearing masks, and they don't

(16:38):
want to stop wearing them, and they're they're very worried
about what you might do. What you might drop into
that lake with your dirty boat going down there. What
would happen, What would happen if you smoked a cigar
and put the ashes in there? We just think about
just think about the ramifications, sir. I'll give it some thought.

(16:59):
You've told me that I can actually get something done.
It's been a long time since I've even thought that
I could get something done in this town. So let
me think on it. See, typically I can't get into
the restaurants I want to get into, let alone influence
a political figure. But I'll think about it. There is

(17:19):
more to come. Got a lot more junk to get
into as the Uncle Henry Show proceeds here on News

That's Uncle Henry Dieheartmedia dot Com. Plenty to get into
on today's show, But let me go to the phones.

Speaker 8 (18:26):
Hello caller, Hey over, Henner, how you doing, Snake.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Trapper, snake trepvor You are live on the radio, o'ra, Henry.

Speaker 8 (18:33):
I was watching now Brett Baar yesterday on Fox News. Yeah,
and uh he was interviewing Bernie Sanders. Yes, and now
Bernie Bernie Sanders stated that we are now living in
an oligarchy system in the country. Yeah, I'm go, Hendry.
If this is an Ola guardic system, man, I got

(18:54):
no problem with it. I mean, it's definitely better than
the last four years we lived under Joe Biden and yeah,
you know what I'm saying. I mean, in one thing,
I would like to know. You know, he seems to
take it offense that that somebody can in this country
can actually become a billionaire. Uncle here. I don't understand that.

(19:17):
Why would why would he be so against that?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
You know, I'm I don't quite understand it myself. I've
met other people. I've met other people adults that have
that same opinion. They get really mad about it. I
had one friend of mine tell me that he didn't
think that anybody should ever have that much money, and
when I tried to press him on the whys and

(19:41):
all that kind of stuff, would not discuss it further.
But there are some people that have that opinion, and
it's a very emotional opinion.

Speaker 8 (19:49):
Well, Henry any just Elon Musk or Jeff Bezo, anybody
in this country can become a billionaire. If they you
don't have the edge of and to know how to
do it and the free will to actually go out
and get it. I mean, no, the entering, I mean, Lord,
I don't understand it. I do believe if I would

(20:11):
have been born anywhere else in this world, I believe
I would be running around, would a bone in my nose,
you know, trying to hunt and others.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Well snat Trevor. I like the idea that we we
have a way of life where if you get a
really really good idea and you can get it out there,
you can't achieve something like that. I like the possibility
is there now. Most of us are either going to
fail in that we don't have the idea, or we

(20:40):
don't have the self discipline and the ability to self
sacrifice to get where we want to go, all those
different kind of things. But I like the idea that
it's a possibility that some of us can make it
and make it.

Speaker 8 (20:52):
Like that, Yes, sir, and you don't even have to
be the smartest person in the world. But if you
are a kind person and you are willing to work
hard in this country, you will go far, Uncle Henry,
doors will open for you. That is what this country
was built though, is hard work. And I don't care
what company you want to walk in the door. If

(21:13):
you walk in there and you're known as a hard worker,
they're going to put you to work.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
They are, yes.

Speaker 8 (21:19):
And I just don't understand why he is so offended
by somebody becoming a millionaire or a billionaire.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Well, and coming from him, it's just the hypocrisy. The
guy has become quite wealthy because of his position in life.
He's got more than one home. He's flying around doing
rallies in a private jet. For him to get up
there and complain about rich people, you know, when he
gives all his money away, then he can go on

(21:48):
TV and tell me that rich people are bad. But
until he gives all of his money away, then I
don't want him going on TV and telling me a
dad gum thing because he's full of it.

Speaker 8 (21:58):
And the thing about it, Brent Barry pressed him on, well,
looking here, you and AOC was getting off of a
private jet, and you know what he stated, right, well,
I mean he he could do that because it's for
the calls, Uncle Henry. Oh well, I mean that that's saying.
I mean, I'm gonna fly around on a private jet
and try to have a cause against him. Right, He's
a he's a nut. He's a nut job. And what

(22:20):
what Bernie Sanders want brought you people out there that
like Bernie Sanders?

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (22:24):
I mean, I think as far as a person, he's
probably a pretty decent person. But he thinks that all
the money should go in a pot and it be
distributed out equally. Okay, there won't be nobody, you know,
everybody will be equals.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
And then good luck on having people wanting to generate
that money.

Speaker 8 (22:42):
Exactly, because if if you're gonna if everybody's gonna be equal,
shoot over, Henry, I would I wouldn't go to work tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Well exactly, there's a lot I got things to do
around the house, exactly.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
Man, Yeah, you're right. I mean I'd like to be
out there of you know, chasing brogs and turtles, but
evidently I got to put in you know, forty sixty
hours a week. Sore. But I mean, man, this country,
if you're willing to work hard, I don't care your race,
your gender, are your religion. You can go far in
this country strictly on hard work. That is true in

(23:14):
the Bible. You know, these people they want to go
to thirty two hour work week, uncle, any the Bible
says you should work six days a week. So man, uh,
I just don't understand Bernie Sanders' way of thank.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
You, well good, that's a good sign.

Speaker 8 (23:32):
It definitely is on. He just wants to be on
top and be able to control everybody, and to justify
why he gets to fly around in jets. Why he
don't even want you to drive a car?

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Right, So he's a nut uncle, Henny, Well most of
them are.

Speaker 8 (23:45):
Well, you take care of my buddy.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Thank you, Snake, Trevor. Snake, Trevor, thank you very much
for your phone call. Two five one four seven nine
two seventy two three. That's two five one four seven
nine two seventy two three. You know, it's still allegedly
a semi free country where people gonna have whatever opinion
on that kind of stuff they can. But if he's
gonna get on TV and lecture everybody about it, we're
in an oligarchy and the rich got too much money.

(24:08):
Why would I want to listen to one syllable? If
you're going to be a rich guy with multiple homes
flying around on a private jet, Come on, some people
are dumb enough to buy that, but I hope not
all of us are. Hello Color, Oh, Henry L. D.
The mad trucker.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
You did not I know. I started thinking about this.
I'm getting kind of mad. You didn't invite me to
your wedding, and.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Nobody was there was no one at my wedding. It
was just me at the courthouse.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
And I can imagine that there were probably no pictures
taken either, so no one could see the girl.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Now, don't do it, ld don't go down this road.
Do not go down this road. It's like a tempted murder.
At my age, with my heart condition, you are a
tempting murder when you attack my family. It's like you're
trying to kill me. You're trying to get me to
drop dead on this show.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
It's kind of like Snake Trapper said, you know, a
four day work week. The only thing that will happen
if you go to a four day work week is
you'll get fatter and fatter and fatter. And all all
that we have to do is look towards your mother
and probably your new wife.

Speaker 8 (25:17):
You're trying to kill me.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
No, stop it. I don't know what this is. I
don't know why you're doing this. I don't know where
you're trying. You're trying to get me to have a
heart attack on the air. I know I see it now.
At first I thought it was an attack on my
family just to just just to disrupt the message. Any
kind of good good message on this show, any type
of good will, any type of message of freedom, any

(25:39):
type of message of kindness to your fellow man on
the show. I thought it was an attack on the
values of the program. Now I know it's more personal.
Now I know. I think you're trying to get me
to die. Look, look, what do you think they're going
to replace me with when I drop dead? When you

(26:00):
call in, you attack my wife, you say she's fat
when she's ten ninety. What do you think is gonna
happen when I die? What do you think they're gonna
replace me with? It's gonna be some syndicated garbage. It's
gonna be some syndicated garbage show from some other city,
somebody from another town around the country, and they're gonna
be on the air and they're gonna be repeating the

(26:21):
same garbage that all the other shows are repeating. They're
gonna play some clip, they're gonna play a clip from
a politician day, and they're gonna complain about them. It'll
be a bunch of garbage. Don't you keep trying to
kill me? L D. You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.

(26:42):
I'm telling you right now, you're thinking, I'm not gonna
miss that guy. Guys the same old garbage every day in,
day in and day out. You'll miss trust me, you'll
miss it. You'll miss it. You're gonna one day there's
gonna be Joseph Blow, the Joseph Blow Show, some syndicated
Joseph a Blow show, and you're gonna think, you know,

(27:03):
back in the day, Uncle Henry was on there and
he was weird. But it was good, well, maybe not good,
it was fine. You'll say something like that. It was okay.
You'll miss me. Stop trying to kill me. By the
way I did. I forgot to get my I'm out
of my blood pressure medicine. I took my last pill

(27:23):
this morning. I forgot to go to the pharmacy. I'm

(28:14):
to the phone, Hello caller, Good.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Evening, Uncle Henry Rod time roll Tad Rod.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Reagan Girl, Reagan Girl, you're live on the radio.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Yes, sir, well, thank you very much, if you will
allow me a moment.

Speaker 7 (28:32):
All right, B.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
You should be ashamed of yourself. And I know that
I used to say that I thought that uncle that
LD had better raising than that. Yes, but you know what,
Uncle Henry, I don't think he has, and LD, you

(28:54):
should just be ashamed of yourself. And Uncle Henry's mom
and his beautiful bride are of normal size LD. And
quite frankly, LD, I don't think it's any of your business,
but Uncle I just wanted to, you know, send him

(29:18):
a little bit of correction. But Uncle Henry, I don't
think he's had the proper raisin. And don't let it
upset you. You just hold your head high and you
have a good evening.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Okay, regular girl. Thank you. You have blessed me more
than you can know by having come forward with your
on air correction of LD. Thank you for that so much.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
You take care.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Thank you very much. What a wonderful way of correcting LD.
And you know I cut him a lot of slank
because he's told stories from his childhood that indicate that
he's Look, you can tell he's struggling right now, attacking
my family, trying to kill me on the air. Hello,
color Force development with all the acs at the hell

(30:06):
you wouldn't want to Hello. All right, here we go,
Here we go, just just when it rains and pores,
as they say, when it rains and pores. All right, look,
uh before I'm at a time in this segment of
the show, let's see a couple of things I saw
in the news. I saw it. Do you remember there

(30:29):
was a rock and roll band once upon a time
called The Who? Do you remember them? Very loud? Just
just awful trash? Lord, have mercy? What trash? That music was?
The Who? You remember them? They they were famous, I
think for like the guy that played guitar would like
bust his guitar at the end of the concert, which

(30:50):
I always thought was a courtesy because it was something
that I wanted to do whenever I saw him, I
wanted to bust his guitar. Well, The Who they announced
they are going to retire and they're going to do
a farewell tour in North America. Now, the guy, the

(31:10):
one guy that played the guitar and kept busting his
guitars up. He's seventy nine years old. The lead singer
of The Who that does all that horrible catterwallin he's
eighty one years old. Now you remember that music. We
were forced to listen to it when it was the
theme song for every CSI show, CSI, CSI Miami, CSI,

(31:36):
New York, CSI New Orleans. How are they going to
be able to do this? Can people that age scream
like that? It's gonna what? I think? One song? Could
they survive one of those songs before dropping dead? Maybe ELD,
you know, I'm ld might be one. Might want to

(31:56):
call The Who seventy nine years old in eighty one
and they're going to tour North America. I was real
I read about it. They did a performance recently, and
one of them said that they had big problems in
the performance because he had he tried to perform four

(32:17):
weeks after a total knee replacement see rock and roll.
You folks think that it's not It obviously damages the brain.
Either that or they're so addicted to the money they
can't they's it's either get the money or or drop dead.
On their part, but anyway, the who are going to

(32:39):
be touring North America, I'm sure not too many, not
too many dates because they're falling apart. What else? Almost
out of time here in this segment of the show.
Hello Coller, Hey, hey, we got one minute.

Speaker 8 (33:00):
Well, I gotta ask you this. Why am I seeing
a lot of uh Connie Hudson signs in the city
right of way?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Well, I don't know. Maybe people, uh maybe Connie Hudson
fans like to see their sign scene.

Speaker 8 (33:22):
Yeah, but it's against city ordinance.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
All right, Well, is there anybody you can Is there
anybody you can call about that?

Speaker 8 (33:32):
No, they made that perfectly clear two or three city
council meetings ago that they would not tolerate that.

Speaker 7 (33:41):
Oh okay, oh they made that.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
They were not tolerate no signs on any.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Sir.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I'm sorry, but we're out of time for the segment.
Thank you for that report. Let's all find out if
they get removed or not. This is the Uncle Henry

(34:23):
Show here on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. In this
half hour of Uncle Henry Show, I'm going to share
voicemail from listeners and also news items. I'm gonna start
real quick with a voicemail here from the snake trapper. Now,

(34:44):
I don't want to disappoint you, but this does not
have anything to do with snakes or the trapping of snakes.
It does have it doesn't have anything to do with
raccoons or possums or any other animals. All right, let's
hear what is the snake trapper calling the Uncle Henry
Show about?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Hey for Henry, snake trapper?

Speaker 8 (35:09):
Yes, hey man, I'm not one to paint.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
A group of people with a broad brush.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Oh, here we go.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
I'm for Henry, but I'm viging to do that right now.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Oh no, Oh, by the way, if you want to
leave me a message like he is two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two five to
one two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave a
message for the Uncle Henry Show. So snake trapper about
to paint a group of people with a broad brush.

(35:39):
Let's praise ourselves because this can always this, This is
always very treacherous when one is painting with a broad brush.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
I'm vixing to do that right now. These folks riding
around with these jacked up SUVs and pickup trucks, Uncle Henry. Yeah,
so are the ones with a front end pointing toward
the sky and the back ends almost.

Speaker 9 (36:02):
Dragging the ground.

Speaker 8 (36:03):
Okay, over, Henry, that looks dumb.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Now we talked about this, haven't we talked about this
for over a year on the show. Some states outlawing
that because the driver can't can't see over the hood
of the vehicle, they can't see the road. A lot
of these drivers, haven't we been talking about this?

Speaker 8 (36:24):
Man?

Speaker 2 (36:24):
It looks like y'd you remember how back before Frederick
took out all the drive in theaters, Uncle Henry, how
you'd go to the air show and you would set
up on that hump so you can look up and
see the screen.

Speaker 9 (36:38):
I mean, they look like the driving down the road like.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
That snake trap. And I paused the Snake Trapper just
to pause and reflect briefly with you, the listener, because
I feel I don't know, I don't I feel close
to you. I don't know why, but I do. I
feel close to you, listener. And I do remember all
the fun of going to drive in movies. Now I
think about today and how I enjoy air conditioning so

(37:04):
much that I probably would not enjoy it this time.
Certainly would want to do it in the autumn or
the spring. But I can remember going to the drive
in movies all the time, just all the time, for
many many years here on the Gulf Coast, and enjoyed,
just enjoyed the experience, just all of the It was different,

(37:28):
of course, than going to a movie inside a movie theater.
Different and in a little more intimate because yes, you
were seeing a movie with a group of other people,
a group of strangers. You had that shared experience that
you get in a movie theater. But it was also

(37:48):
intimate because you were closed in your vehicle, except if
it was hot and you had the windows down. You
know what I'm driving at, But it was it was
still more intimate with something you shared with the people
in the vehicle with you. Of course, there's lots of
stories about people, young people, teenagers, young adults getting amorous

(38:09):
in drive in movie theaters. I don't condone that, and
I hope you don't think less of me for this,
but I do remember going to drive in movie theaters
and having a friend or friends hiding in the trunk
of the vehicle. Yes, I know you're disappointed in me
for that, but anyway, right back to the voicemail about

(38:32):
people driving jacked up SUVs and trucks.

Speaker 9 (38:36):
Man, can you imagine if they went to a drive
in theater and a vehicle like that over Hendry, they
would be stargazing. I would say to you both out there,
fix your vehicle. It don't look right, man, ain't no
way you can see out in front of you. You

(38:56):
probably can always see about one hundred yards ahead. Man,
I be driving over all kind.

Speaker 8 (39:02):
Of all construction barrels and highway cones, probably.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Children over Hending. Oh my lord, I mean a Virginian
houses are setting out in front of your vehicle.

Speaker 9 (39:13):
You get in it and just go pulling off. Man,
you're liable to run over them.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
You can't feel them.

Speaker 8 (39:19):
Man.

Speaker 9 (39:20):
That that driving me crazy, over Hendry.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Uh, people, fix your vehicles. You have a good day,
my friend.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Hey Steg Travor you too, Thank you for calling in
about that. I'm trying to look at the bright side
of this, the silver lining over a dark clown. The
good side of this is that I like the fact
that people take pride in their vehicles. At least at
least you know the person that's doing all this is
taking pride in their vehicle and they want to they

(39:50):
want their their vehicle to look knife and all that
kind of stuff. So I do like the pride of
ownership involved in this, but I agree with you that
it is not safe. And that's that's why around the
country that type of stuff is getting outlawed. And I've
already forgotten if it's I don't remember if if it's
outlawed in Alabama or not yet, because uh, because I'm

(40:11):
I'll never drive a vehicle like that doesn't apply to me, unless,
of course, one of those guys runs over me again.
The voicemail number two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six, that's two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six, to leave a message for the Uncle Henry Show. Now,
there was a story, a national news story that made

(40:31):
me think of snake trapper today. This was out of Miami, Florida.
Somebody called and seeing Miami they've got a problem with iguanas,
an invasive species that got a lot of iguanas in Miami,
and a person called Humane Iguana Control. They've yes, they've

(40:56):
got enough iguanas in Miami to have their own Humane
Iguana Control department. This was actually Palmetto Bay. So somebody
called Humane Iguana Control Palmettobey, that's Miami suburb, and they
said that they saw iguanas burrowing in their yard. So

(41:20):
Humane Iguana Control went out to this person's yard and
they found that the person had three female iguanas that
had nested in burrows that were all interconnected in the yard.
Each female iguana had laid their own clutch of eggs,

(41:42):
and the Humane Iguana Control went on social media to
say that they had removed ninety eight iguana eggs. It
was their biggest ever harvest. They had never removed that
many iguana eggs before, but they removed ninety eight iguana
eggs from that homeowner's yard. Now the homeowner and it

(42:05):
was shocked. The homeowner was shocked by this, but relieved,
and they reported the homeowner was grateful for the team's
success and locating and removing ninety eight iguana eggs. Now,
Snake Trapper, I can't remember if we've talked about this before.
I know that iguanas themselves are eaten in Central and

(42:28):
South America. They've been eating these iguanas for a while.
Snake Trapper, have you eat an iguana. Do you eat
iguana eggs? Would an iguana egg taste like a chicken egg?
Could we devil some iguana eggs? You know that'd be
extra weird having a deviled iguana egg. Anyway, Look, I've

(42:49):
got to take a break. Gonna take a time out
for trafficing weather and words from our sponsors. Then back
with more Uncle Henry Show. Let's go ahead and take
the break. That says the Uncle Henry Shawn News Radio

(43:20):
seven ten WNTM News headlines coming up in ten minutes
here on WNTM. Before we get there, I got a
few news items I want to share with you because
of my longtime association with Mobile Bay Coins and Fine Jewelry.
They've been advertisers on WNTM for many many years and
sponsors of the Uncle Henry Show. I'm interested in things

(43:42):
gold and silver. I don't know if you saw this
earlier this week in Missouri, the Missouri legislature passed a
bill It goes to the Republican governor to sign. Missouri
legislature passed a bill that would make gold and silver
legal tender in Missouri, meaning that you could go buy

(44:04):
groceries with a piece of gold or silver bullion if
the business agreed to accept it. So they've made it
so that you can do these transactions in Missouri. But
here's the part that really got me. The bill is
now going to require all the state government entities in

(44:26):
Missouri to accept electronic versions of gold and silver as
forms of payment for taxes and public debts. Now, this
was popular enough to pass their legislature, but still a
lot of people complaining about it and very confused about it.

(44:48):
One Democrat in Missouri wanted to know what would happen
if you went to a convenience store to buy a
soft drink and you handed them like a gold bar.
Would they be able to make change all this kind
of stuff. They're just they're confused by it. So anyway,
I planned to next time Ron and Anna come in

(45:09):
here from Mobile Bay Coins and find Jewelry, I'm gonna
ask him about this. Just I know Ron would have
a great instant take on this. I want to find
out what he's got to say. Oh, by the way,
if you miss those shows with Ron and Anna of
Mobile Bay Coins and Fine Jewelry, The Ask the Expert
Show is available as a podcast at NewsRadio seven ten

(45:31):
dot com. You can go find the latest episode there
and listen to it, or you can look for Ask
the Expert on the iHeartRadio app and find those shows
with Ron and Anna. We've got all the Ask the
Expert shows with John McNeil, Mobile Bay Coins and find Jewelry,
Mobile Bay, Financial Solutions, Kitchen and Bath Center, Lucy Greer

(45:55):
Hansen Supertext. We've got all those shows available as podcasts
at NewsRadio seventy ten dot com and on the iHeartRadio app. So,
Missouri accepting gold and silver to pay taxes, and if
a business wanted to accept gold and silver they could.

(46:17):
I'm going to guess that most businesses in Missouri are
not going to opt in on this unless the owners
of the businesses are really into gold and silver. Now,
also from the Weird News file, this is out of Turkey,
the country of Turkey. There's a small town in Turkey,

(46:40):
twenty five thousand people. They had seized a bunch of marijuana.
They seized a bunch of cannabis in this town, twenty tons.
Think about that, twenty tons of seized cannabis in this
small town in Turkey. So the police there decided to

(47:03):
burn it. They wanted to get rid of it. They
wanted to burn it, so they took it to the
center of the town. The town's name is Lice Lice.
I don't know if it's pronounced lease or lice or whatever. Lice.
So they put all of the marijuana in the town

(47:25):
center and they arranged the burning bags of marijuana the
burning bags of cannabis to spell the name of the town.
Then they set all of the marijuana, all of the
cannabis on fire to burn the cannabis. Well, this scent

(47:45):
thick marijuana cannabis smoke all over the town, all over
the town. This made the people living there breathing it
feel dizzy, nauseous, some of them even hallucinated. This went
on for five days. People stayed inside their homes with

(48:11):
their windows closed because they were all getting high by accident.
So the police department there being criticized and they are
rethinking the future ways of getting rid of marijuana or cannabis.
But they did not do I guess they didn't research

(48:34):
it well enough. You'd think people would know by now.
You wouldn't think people would know none to do this,
But they did a twenty tons. They burned twenty tons
five days. People were getting sick from it in the
town all right, out of time for this edition of

(48:55):
the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seven to
ten WNTM. I mentioned to you that you can find
Ask the Expert all those shows with all the different sponsors,
