have so many things, so many topics to get into
on the Uncle Henry Show.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
But before I go any further, I do have to
acknowledge once again the Tide rolls again. Yes they did,
and yes they did. What a magnificent Oh the Iron
Bowl was magnificent. And I had no anxiety. I know
that perhaps you did. Many of my friends were very

(01:57):
worried about the Alabama Crimson Tide going to Jorden Hair
Stadium and taking on the Auburn Tigers, but I was not.
I just had no anxiety over it and Alabama handled him,
gave us an exciting finish, made you watch until the end.
Wonder just wonderful, just enjoyed it tremendously. Already looking forward

(02:19):
to next weekend. Let me get to real quick a
reaction voicemail that came in right after the game Saturday night.
Let me go to sixty eight year old Chris of
West Locksley.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Don't tide unh Well, I'll tell you this is one
time I have no problem a betting that I was incorrect.
I was wrong. Wow the boy this here scared daylight.
That that's all right? Roll tiede Rogue got Jimmy the

(02:56):
Economist dog next buck boy.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Road roll tid Rose. Sixty eight year old Chris, thank
you very much for your voicemail about the Iron Bowl. Yes,
it was a wonderful, wonderful, just yet another wonderful Alabama
victory for the Alabama fans. What a great lifetime of
Alabama victories to enjoy. Now. Buford, longtime caller Buford. He

(03:23):
left me numerous messages during the game, and I'm going
to get to some of them later this hour, but
I want you to know Buford went to Louisiana and
watched the Iron Bowl with his brother's family and they're
all a bunch of LSU fans. And during the game,

(03:43):
he said there was that every time he yelled roll Tide,
his little brother's dog started barking at him. Here is
a Here is a sample of Buford getting barked at
by the LSU dog.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Betiful, Just to let you know that my little brother's
dog started growling when I yieled roll tied roll So
bro w go ro ro han or mean this LSU
dogs about the fight. You have a good day.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I hear that little dog barking. Now you may be
listening to this, you the listener. You may be thinking, well,
this just that's a grown man yelling roll tied at
a dog and he's deriving some pleasure from it. And
then there's a there's an even older man in Alabama
that has a recording of it that is listening to

(04:40):
it and is deriving pleasure from it. Can't we can't
we be more mature? Can't we all be more mature
about all of this? The answer to that, of course,
is no, No, we can't be more mature than that.
Look on the bright side, people like me and Buford
were not on fentanyl. We're not on crack cocaine or

(05:02):
anything like that. We're not out into the streets. We're
not we're not stealing your gun out of your car
in the middle of the night. We're not doing We're
not doing all those horrible things. This is just just
a wonderful, wholesome thing. It may seem silly to you
to get into some type of yelling fight with a dog,
but it's It's better than being a drug addict. It's

(05:24):
better than being a thief or a killer. So anyway,
roll tied row Now good news though for Auburn fans.
Apparently Auburn fans are happy with the whoever it is
they hired somebody that Golash. I'll learn how to say
it eventually, Goulash. Oh thank you. Shelby Mitchell of ninety

(05:44):
five KSJ. She says, don't thrust her onto the air,
but she is in the studio working diligently on some
CHASJ stuff. Now, Auburn, I've got Auburn fans excited to
learn about their new co Let's listen to this. This
is a news story from WSFA and Montgomery. They sent

(06:05):
this young lady, a female reporter to Auburn to ask
Auburn fans about their new coach.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
After what many are calling a close game, Auburn is
announcing it's new football coach, Alex Golesch. Fans tell me
they are excited about the transition.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
The whole season.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
We could have done it, we could have won. We
really should be attended to tea.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Done out right now. I'm pausing there not because Shelby
Mitchell is doing a pantomime behind me. Onto the YouTube cameras.
Whatever message you want to send a YouTube send them. Okay,
you're wearing your grinch. Okay, all right, there she goes,
Now where were we all? They now think about this?
They sent this young lady reporter to Auburn to talk

(06:54):
to Auburn fans, and she's asking female Auburn fans their
thoughts this Where is there anywhere else in the country
where women are going to be this big a part
of it? Because that's the first person they went to,
was a female football fan, and she's got a lot.
This female football fan has a lot of thoughts. The

(07:14):
first thing the female football fan says, we ought to
be ten and two by Nowsman was.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Made Sunday morning after losing the Iron Bowl, fans say
they are ready for change.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
There was some discombobulation with play calling, okay, and I
also feel like he needed to be a little bit
tougher all around.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Eight has been an urban fans, This lady has been. Again,
what a wonderful We live in a golden time really
for football fans, even though their college football seems to
need to figure some things out. We may get into
that later. They got to there needs to be some
new rules implemented on how they do these coaching changes

(07:56):
and things like that. But think about the love of
a football. They've got a female reporter reporting on this.
You got a woman there in Auburn giving her thoughts,
talking about they need to be ten and two and
they're discombobulated.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Since she was ten. She released Former head coach Hugh
Frees had strengths, but says Alice Golish could be exactly
what albnize to turn the corner and bring back that
winning eg.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Oh, the coach could be exactly what Auburn needs.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Exactly what Albanize.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Could be exactly what Auburn needs.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
He's got a great record at South Florida. He's an
offensive mind and from what to understand, it is our
hope that we can keep our defensive coordinator.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
All right, See, this would be the best outcome. Every
year Alabama beats Auburn, then the Auburn fans they become
happy the next day because they're getting a new coach.
Maybe we could just repeat this year after year, it

(09:25):
says the Uncle Henry Show. It is five twenty. We
have news headlines coming up in ten minutes. Telephone number
if you'd like to call into The Uncle Henry Show
two five one four seven nine two seven two three
two five one four seven nine two seven two three.

(09:46):
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Yes, the Iron Bowl, what
a what a wonderful, what a wonderful, wonderful Iron Bowl
it was and weekend And as I pointed out at
the beginning or at the end of the last segment,
this really it turned out great for both teams. Alabama

(10:08):
got the victory, and then Auburn instead of having to
feel defeated and feel badly in the days, weeks and
months to come after losing to Alabama, instead they get
a brand new coach so they can feel hopeful. They
can feel hopeful, and so this is what this is,

(10:28):
almost like a win win even though one team lost.
It's similar to a win win, even though one team lost,
it's wonderful. And again, this would be a nice outcome
every year probably again. Two five one four seven nine
two seven two three is a telephone nuber. There's two
five one four seven nine two seven two three email
address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. I want to

(10:50):
thank the elderly couple that let me and my wife
watch the Iron Bowl with them. We went to Yes,
we went to Spanish Fort and eight other people's food.
It was wonderful to do that and see the Iron
Bowl in Spanish Fort with the elderly. And then another subplot,

(11:12):
of course to all of it was the Lane Kiffin drama,
which was just so entertaining for me, so entertaining because
I didn't have any didn't care one way or the other,
didn't matter to me. It didn't matter to me what
happened one way or the other. And so it's just

(11:34):
a bystander, just quite entertaining to see the Lane Kiffin
drama going on. Now follow Lane Kiffin on on X
on the X app. And I want you to know
that throughout all of this last year, he's been posting stuff,

(11:56):
just real sweet stuff on X. He posts such on
social media. Lane Kiffen just posts all this sweet stuff.
He was his father had passed away, and he was
Lane Kiffen was posting rainbows. Every time Lane Kiffin saw rainbow,
he'd take a picture of the rainbow and he'd posted

(12:17):
on X and he would talk about I see you
up there, Dad. It was always about his dad and
his dad's spirit in the rainbows and all this kind
of stuff. And he would also post Lane all year long,
Lane Kiffin posting these these aspirational quotes, these these different

(12:40):
things about having a good positive day, just positive messages
posted by Lane Kiffen on X. And a lot of
family stuff, posting fun family stuff on X. Just the
image what I'm trying to convey to you is on
social media all year long, I've seen nothing but all
this real cuddly sweet just such a sweet guy. This

(13:09):
all these Lame Kiffin sweet posts on social media, family oriented,
loving his family, loving his kids, stuff with his dog,
pictures of his dog on just so just if you,
if you didn't know anything else, and all you did
was follow Lane Kiffing on social media. You would have

(13:30):
thought he was the sweetest guy, the sweetest coach and
all of football. Such a soft side. It's amazing that
he could even get the victories that he's gotten with
such a sweetness to him. Is it possible to be
so sweet? The sweetness that we saw on social media?

(13:51):
And by the by last night, whatever whatever he was
building up, whatever, whatever reputation and he was trying to
build whatever work he was doing there to construct this
this image of himself last night, it was all burned
down to a crisp I just I just totally all

(14:16):
of them. Just months. I'm talking months and months of
puppy dogs and rainbows, no exaggeration. Go back and look
for yourself. If you don't doubt me, if you're doubting me,
go back and look months and months of just sweet, soft,
nice And then by last night, me know, my wife

(14:38):
didn't know who he was. And this morning, when I
was leaving for work, she was just saying the meanest
things about Lane Kiffin that never met him, meanest, she
was just saying the meanest things about Lane Kiffing, that
all of them rainbows that he was posting all them
puppy dog pictures, all of that for nothing. Now he's

(15:04):
back to square one once again. And you know what,
the none of it will matter if he wins. Hello
color Oda, Henry, Yes sir, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
This rolling.

Speaker 6 (15:23):
Thanks for taking my call at yes sir, Yes, sir,
And congratulations on Alabama's.

Speaker 7 (15:32):
Win once again.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Thank you that Iron.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
Bowl all I'm an all the fan, even those to
losing his team I've ever saw in my life. But
it don't matter what coach they get if they keep
getting hand me down boys to play. They don't get

(15:57):
quality players. They get the lowest thing on the vine,
the lord saying can't even catch a football. You We
could have got a high school team to play better
than that. They need to focus on getting quality players.
But guess what what, nobody that plays football wants to

(16:18):
play wants to play on.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
A losing team. And you can't blame them boys. They
want to come plays an old team that lose every year.
That's my thinking about it. I don't care what coach
you get to come catching. You could call in all
the players you want to. If the players can't execute them,
you're still dead in the water. That's my thought for today.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Uncle roll tied Roland, thank you and God bless you.
Thank you so much for your phone call. And perhaps
maybe they'll get some better players along with their new coach,
Coach Goulash or whatever his name is. Hand me down players,
how about that? Hand me down players. You know, in

(17:06):
the in the in the clothing world, you can take
your clothes and resell them as consignment. Now as Auburn is,
are you are they getting players on consignment? Is that
what's going on here? These are players that are on consignment,

(17:27):
having been previously purchased by a different school. Don't worry, though,
I think they'll have They'll be able to recruit some
good players at Auburn, don't. Didn't they build it like
a recording studio at Auburn so that players can record
their own albums when they're there, didn't? I didn't I

(17:49):
remember reading about that. The Uncle Henry Show continues here

Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now before
I get back possibly to the Iron Bowl or onto

(19:51):
other topics. I do want to say that I hope
you had a good, satisfying Thanksgiving, and I guess that
would mean different things to differ people. I certainly had
a great Thanksgiving because I got to see a lot
of loved ones that are still around. My own minor complaint, yes,

(20:14):
I've got a complaint. My one minor complaint about Thanksgiving
this year was that the food was mostly cold, and
there was a reason. There was a reason the food
was mostly cold. We had all the food ready to go,
and then it came time to bless the food, and

(20:39):
we had somebody suggested that everybody go around, everybody at
the gathering talk about what they're thankful for. Now, this
is generally a great idea. In fact, it's a great
idea on a daily basis for all of us. Now,
I'm not going to tell you what to do, because

(20:59):
you're you're you, but generally speaking, gratitude can help. If
you can think of some things to be grateful for
every day, it's good for your mental health, even if
it's basics. Like, for example, I'm very glad and very
thankful that my employer provides me with all the coffee

(21:22):
I can drink when I show up to work. We
also have HVAC heating and air conditioning. Here I mean
here that the blessings are piling ups. Anyway, I'm in
favor of count your blessing. But there we are. The
food is ready to go, just out of the oven.
We're ready to go. But somebody when it's time to

(21:44):
bless the food at the family gathering, so I think
we should all we should all say what we're thankful for. Well,
at this particular family gathering, we were blessed to have
a ninety five year old. We had an eighty five
year old owned I think we had a couple of
eighty one or eighty two year olds. We had some

(22:05):
seventy eight year olds. And I tell you, when people
get to be that age, if you're not already that age,
when you get to be that age, you have some
very specific things that you're thankful for, and sometimes you
would like to give a dissertation on why you're thankful
for it. So anyway, this took I don't you know,

(22:25):
I don't know. Later that day I think I could
I could have told time with a sun dial. During
that particular blessing, just watching the shadows moving across the
Thanksgiving dinner table. Anyway, it was wonderful to be around everybody.
But the food got cold, but it was still it
was still delicious. And hats off to all the cooks

(22:46):
that put all that wonderful food together on the table
for all the elderly like me. Also, we had a
shock dish. We had a side dish that appeared for
the first time ever at the Thanksgiving meal. This was

(23:06):
quite this, This was imagine the shock waves that just
reverberated among the people that were over the age of
eighty five, first time ever. A younger relative, somebody in
their early fifties decided to experiment and bring watergate salad. Yes,

(23:29):
Watergate salad was brought to the Thanksgiving meal. And this
was really it was. There was a lot of muttering
there was there was there were things said in half whispers.
I don't I don't even know what the consensus was,
because the consensus wanted to be down below earshot, so

(23:52):
it was it was. I could just tell people were
muttering about them. Anyway, it was quite a shock watergate
salad showing up at the Thanksgiving but it was what
it was a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving, and I hope you
had a wonderful Thanksgiving to two five one four seven
nine two two three the telephone number here on the
Elk Clamberg Show now earlier in the hour, I shared

(24:14):
a brief message from longtime caller Beufford. He had uh.
He called and told me that he was watching the
Alabama Auburn game the arm Bowl in Baton Rouge with
his brother, who has raised a family of LSU fans.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Well, Henry, Alabama and Auburn about to kick off, and
on him watching it in bat Con Riuge Handah, the
beef of children are spending the weekend with their LSU cousins.
It's like LSU was about to lose. But Hannah, this
is a good opportunity for the jew chill Greens to

(25:02):
be superior in front of their LSU cousins. Humbly and
like Nick Saban to follow his lead. Just walk with
an air of confidence and everyone will know you're superior. Henry,
I'm not gonna lie is Auburn and Alabama game. He's
got me a little worried, especially having to watch it

(25:27):
at my little brother's house. The doctor in Baton Rouge
in the heart of LSU country.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh, now that your brother is a doctor and he's
in Baton Rouge is his specialty diabet us.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Man, it's gonna be an uncomfortable stay if the unthinka
what happens anyway, Henry.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Wrote tad roll you Fred to thank you for letting
me know that you were watching the game with your
your brother doctor and his LSU children. Now, Beufford did
give me some updates.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Anna just watched the first series with Auburn with the ball.
I feel a little bit better about this here game tonight.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
It does look like the.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Little children in the trailer parks might be safe tonight.
But I'll tell you what, Henry and Auburn came out
in that first series with the ball. Great booty hoole,
no cheeks, Henry ain't. It's like I don't even have
an offensive line. Let's hope they keep playing that way. Anyway, Henry,
you have a good day now.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Beford, you mentioned that Auburn didn't look good in the
first series, and you said it looks like the little
children and the trailer parks might be safe tonight. Now
what I don't understand that what does that mean.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Henry Taseery wondering why I mentioned this. Little children in
the trailer parks they got a buddy mine. It's a
mobile policeman. He just can convince that domestics go up
when Alabama loses, Especially when Alabama loses an iron Bowl,

(27:11):
A lot of little children and single moms become punching
bags for the drunk boyfriends when Alabama loses. Henry, let's
say a little prayer for them folks that Alabama pulls
through tonight. And Henry, I apologize my saucy language, but
it is the Iron Bowl.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
All right. Well, I hate to hear that, and I
hope that's not true about the domestics going up. Thank
you for the voicemail back with more Uncle Henry's shaw
after the break be used for uh if it is
getting purchased by somebody. But Lanyap says that it's rumored

(27:56):
that it could reopen as a hotel. Glad to hear
that the Gayfers Department store building in downtown Mobile is
under contract and like a lot of people, I'm curious
to find out what would somebody do with it? And
a hotel does sound like a better idea than the

(28:18):
last idea that was floated where they wanted to have
some type of low income housing or something like that
in there, So a hotel possibly going in there in
that Gapers building. Again, if you want to find out more,
lamyakmobile dot com is the website. See again the telephone

(28:42):
number here 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.
Uh I had a couple of phone calls in the
last segment of the show from Buford. He went and
watched the Alabama Auburn Iron Bowl with his brother who

(29:03):
is a doctor in Baton Rouge. Watch them with the
with the LSU fans and Baton roots. Here is one
more call from Beauford from during the Iron Bowl and
it is here's different.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Well, Alabama doesn't score it again, We got ourselves from
breathing room and here just to show that my little
brother the doctor is not a power host. Even though
LSU lost, he went out and got everybody drive food Doakeries.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
And his brother went out and got everybody drive through dakeries.
This is this something I'm guessing not legal in the
state of Alabama right to get a dackery through a
drive through.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
I'll tell you what it might have been to drown
his own sorrows, but he put the bill and got
everybody one. You can't argue with that, you know, say
what you will about LSU, but losey inner as a fate.
They guy some great stuff, great food.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Again, I'm asking you for your brother has relocated. He's
a doctor. He's not come home here, he's there in
Baton Rouge. Is he a diabetes specialist? Because I'm trying,
because I'm thinking you just yeah, Louisiana. In the last
several years, they have overtaken Alabama in terms of overbesity

(30:26):
and all these other things. Is he there for diabetes
specialties or maybe he's he a heart surgeon or something.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
They got drive food jackery shops. I'll tell you what,
Henry ain't a bad place. Really flee anyway, Henry, you
Virginia wanted me to let you know that he believes
Alabama will whip Auburn by.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Forty All right, Okay, well that didn't happen like that,
but it's still Alabama, still one beautiful Thanks for the voicemails.
I appreciate those voicemails. Voicemail number two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. Two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. I didn't I didn't note that when

(31:15):
Alabama scored toward the end of the game to go
ahead of Auburn, the ABC TV people they had people
in the crowd. They had Auburn fans in the crowd
that they were ready to put on TV to show
their their reaction. And I was taken aback. I shouldn't be.

(31:44):
But they had this attractive young Auburn lady in the
crowd who was upset that Alabama scored the touchdown. They
went to this woman. I had trouble counting the number
of different rings and things she had in her nose. Now,
is this becoming a new trend again? Is this is this?

(32:05):
Is this becoming a trend again where women are putting
a lot of different things in their nose Because it
did no offense to her. She was a nice looking
young lady, but it was quite distracting, and I thought
I didn't even look at the score at first. I thought, Oh,
that poor Auburn lady. What did she get stuck in

(32:27):
her head. Well, it might have been stuck in her head,
but she put she put it there on her own anyway.
Is that a new trend? I hope not, because I'll
be taken aback more and more often. I don't want
to be taken aback as I'm walking down the street
and then run into a run into a light pole
or something. There's more to come. The Aunt Glamory Show continues,

(32:52):
but first news headlines from Fox. If you want to
listen to previous shows, you'll find that junk available as
a podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Look for Uncle Henry
Show on the iHeartRadio app or at NewsRadio seven ten
dot com. This is the Uncle Henry Show here on

(33:37):
news Radio seven ten WNTM. Yeah, I'm still here.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
I appreciate very much listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Now,
in this half hour show, I'm going to go over
some news items that I'm missed. You might have missed
them too, then. If so, then we can learn together
about these news items. Now, let's see and I might

(34:05):
have time for some voicemail this half hour as well.
We'll just tough to see you and I how far
we can get. All right, I want to start with
a story from Fox News. This is from Fox National
Radio News about the real ID. Do you remember the
real ID? We were told that if we wanted to

(34:27):
travel in this country on airplanes and stuff, we'd have
to get a special real ID. And this has been
in the works for years and then when it finally
came to pass, and the people acted like they had
never heard of it, and it's just been a mess
for a lot of people trying to get this real ID,
getting appointments, trying to get their real ID. Well, I've

(34:49):
got an update on this. The TSA says that they're
going they're going to have new charges, new fees for
people who don't get the real ID. Now I'm already
curious because I thought we had to have one, But
apparently if you don't get one, they just charge you
more or something like that. Let's find out together. Here's

(35:13):
a reporter from Fox News, Ryan Smells, and good lord,
he must have had a tough time in middle school.
You know, you have to have a tough time in
middle school when your last name is Smells, So God
bless them. This person's probably gone through their test they've
been testing in middle school. Here's the reporter Ryan Smells,

(35:35):
saying there are new charges for the people that don't
get the real ID when they want to fly.

Speaker 8 (35:43):
The US Transportation Security Administration says it will begin charging
forty five dollars for travelers who haven't changed or obtained
a real ID.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Forty five dollars, so that would be the fee for
not getting the real ID.

Speaker 8 (35:57):
Forty five dollars will cover travel for a ten day period.
Back in November, TSA said travelers would face an eighteen
dollar fee for not having a real ID, but the
agency now says it had to raise the price because
expenses ended up being higher than projected.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Then now, wait, no, I'm still confused. So do you
have to have it or not? All now, it's just
you know, forty five bucks if you don't have it,
So do I need to? Should I go get one
just to be in case?

Speaker 9 (36:27):
No?

Speaker 1 (36:27):
And yes, I don't have one yet because I don't
travel unless i'm forced. So do you need it or not?

Speaker 8 (36:36):
Nationwide standardized identification was put in place as part of
the real ID Act of two thousand and five. The
new policy would go into effect.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
All right, Oh, the new policy goes into effect for
the forty five Bucks.

Speaker 8 (36:48):
At the start of February in Washington, Ryan Schmell's Fox snooze.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Oh he calls it Shmells to try so it won't
sound just like smells. But I'm sure in middle school
they call him Ryan Smells. What you're smelling? Ryan are?

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Now?

Speaker 1 (37:07):
So this was this is all because from some some
thing passed back twenty years ago. That's to me. Is
this summing government up? This sums the federal government up.
To me. They have a law passed twenty years ago

(37:28):
about the kind of idea they want you to carry.
It takes them twenty years to implement it, and then
once they finally implement it, after twenty years, people still
ain't getting it and they're charging you extra for it.
So maybe that's the answer to government money problems, is

(37:51):
to just keep going up on the real id fee.
It was eighteen dollars now it's forty five, So you
don't really have to get one. I guess you don't
really have if. I guess that's I guess that's the story.
Is if you're willing to pay the extra fee, I

(38:11):
guess you don't have to get one to fly? All right, Well,
this does some that sums up federal government to me
and the way they can just come up with a fee. Well,
it was eighteen, now it's forty five. I wonder if
all government agencies can just come up with fees off
the top of their head and just throw them in there,

(38:33):
just whatever they feel like, whatever they need that day.
All right, anyway, then me get on to another story.
Today is December first, and they've got new work or
training requirements to get SNAP benefits that go I think
they're going to effect today. Let's see. This is also

(38:54):
a story from Fox News. The Trump administration has new
requirements for SNAP benefits that go and to effect today.
Now this is about where in order to get the
SNAP benefits, you've got to you've got to have eighty
hours a month of job training or volunteering or something.

(39:19):
So let's listen. Here is a reporter named Darren Bethello
of Fox News explaining these new SNAP requirements. To get
the SNAP benefits, they are going.

Speaker 10 (39:29):
To have to work, volunteer, or engage in job training for.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
At least eighty So eighty hours you get to work
or volunteer or go into job training hours a month.

Speaker 10 (39:42):
Those who don't can only receive benefits for three months
in a three year period. This applies to Americans fifty
five through sixty four years old, who may have children
fourteen to eighteen years old. This also, by the way,
ends previous exemptions for many homeless people, veterans, and young
adults aging out of foster care. Forty two million am
Americans are on IT, with a majority at or below
the poverty line and in households that include children, seniors,

(40:05):
or someone with a disability. According to the Congressional Budget Office,
the new requirements are expected to reduce the average monthly
number of SNAP recipients by about two point four million
people over the next decade.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
Okay, so eighty hours a month. Eighty hours a month
that you'd have to work or get job training or volunteer.
Now see the job training part. I've already through the years,

(40:38):
I've interviewed people locally that had job training courses and
they would tell me. I would tell them, well, this,
this looks like a great class. This great this great
job training class you've got. I best you say, you
must be really proud of all these people you're turning
out with all these skills, and the people running at

(41:00):
just rolled their eyes and they said, unfortunately, Uncle Henry,
a lot of the people in here for job training
are just getting the training to get their benefits. That
people had no intention that we're going to class to
ever actually using the credentials that they were being trained for.
They just went to a class so they can get
snap benefits. Now they're saying that volunteering, so eighty hours

(41:25):
of volunteering. I wonder how they're going to police that,
don't you know, somebody's gonna set up some type of
fake volunteering scheme to help themselves and others get snap
benefits with the fake volunteering. Well, anyway, I got to
take a time out. No, I don't need to use

(41:47):
the restroom. That's really none of your business. But we
do have to take a break for traffic, weather and
words from our sponsors, and then back with more Uncle
Henry Show here on News Radio seventy ten WNTM on
this beautiful well in Theory, beautiful Monday. Take the break

(42:26):
call Henry's Show. News headlines coming up in ten minutes.
Before we get to the news headlines, a couple of
news items I want to share with you. Let's see,
the Oxford Dictionary has come out with their word of
the year. This is like, so far, this is the
third word of the year story that I've seen. I've

(42:48):
already seen a couple of other dictionaries come out with
their word of the year. In the media dutifully does
the story of going out and telling people what the
word of the year is. Well, here's a third one.
The Oxford Dictionary word of the Year is rage bait.
And this is about social media scumbags posting mean things

(43:12):
on social media. So let's listen together. His CJ. Pappa
of Fox News tell us telling us about the Oxford
word of the year.

Speaker 9 (43:20):
They say, don't blame the messenger. Many are esteemed from
the messages they're receiving on their social media pages that
are designed to deliberately provoke them. It's called rage beat
and Oxford University Press I selected the term as its
word or Phrase of the Year, also on Oxford Shortlist.
Or a farming a slang term for repeatedly doing things
do if you're cool, stylish.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
This reporter's too excited about the words. Now, I like words.
I like I like learning and stuff and reading books
and things. But do we have to get excited about
the word of the year like this. Do you hear this? Guys,
he's excited. He was rage bait got him excited. And
then what was the next phrase he mentioned? Are farming?

(44:01):
See I'm now. I know you're irritated that I've interrupted
the story, but I had to because I felt rage
over the area farming. I knew. I knew as soon
as he said Aura farming. I didn't want to hear
any more of this. But let's go back. Let's listen
to the rest of this.

Speaker 9 (44:20):
Sure charismatic and biohack making changes to your body or
lifestyle as you improve your physical and mental well being,
The president of Oxford Language says, is this year's winter
rage beat as similar to twenty twenty fourth Champ brainrot,
defined as the mental drain from mindless scrolling on Instagram
or TikTok, CJ Poppa Fox News.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
All right, look, I feel like I need to apologize
for even playing that story for you, and I have
to reflect in this moment, In these moments where I
made a mistake on the air, like playing that story,
I have to reflect not necessarily on my own failures
and at bad decisions, but instead I want to reflect

(45:01):
on how social media itself seems to be just overall
lousy for humanity. It does, it leads to it. From
my end, it's now social media seems to be lousy
because now we're getting Word of the Year about its
rage bait and whatever else he was talking about, oh,

(45:23):
last year's word, which was some other stupid social media things.
So social media ultimately lousy for humanity. The people that
invented Facebook should be in some type of prison. These
are just things I think and believe with all my heart.
All right, before we're out of time, let me go

(45:43):
to a local news story. Fox ten sent their pleasant reporter,
Stephen Moody, and he is a pleasant young man. They
wanted to do a story about people buying Christmas trees
because it's that time of the year, so they sent
Stephen Moody to Fish River Christmas Tree Farm. Let's listen

(46:03):
together as Steven Moody of Fox ten talks to the
people at the Fish River Christmas Tree Farm about people
buying Christmas trees.

Speaker 11 (46:14):
For here come all these people, and you go, oh,
my goodness, look what they're coming to pick up something
that I created.

Speaker 12 (46:20):
Another year means another farm full of Christmas trees waiting
for the perfect home. Fish River Trees has been one
of the best providers of live trees for decades. It
brings them joy to know that families choose them.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Right now, this man about to talk is he is
a fish River Christmas tree guy. He's either the owner
or he's a top dog.

Speaker 11 (46:40):
There somebody cuts down one of the trees that I
grew here. That puts a big smile on my face
and in my heart because I'm creating a product that
they came to get and they're taking it into their
home and decorating the product I created, as.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
You know what. And the guy now, unfortunately you couldn't
see the video because radio still has limitations. I know,
I know, I know you love radio, but we still
have a few limitations, like no video. But the guy
that looked authentic. He looked like he felt true joy
from selling the Christmas trees to the people that were

(47:18):
going to go and take them to their house and
put all kind of garbage on it. He seemed very
authentically happy.

Speaker 11 (47:25):
And decorating the product I created.

Speaker 12 (47:28):
As usual, their busiest day was the day after Thanksgiving,
but Monday they were treated to some special guests from
the City of folly who hands selected trees to be
placed in their park.

Speaker 11 (47:38):
Part of me and part of what we created is
in that park for people to celebrate around. Yeah, that's
a special that's a special feeling.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
I love it.

Speaker 11 (47:47):
I think what they do is really nice.

Speaker 12 (47:50):
And it's all about building tradition.

Speaker 11 (47:52):
I would say two out of every three of our customers,
maybe three out of four, or return customers. They just
come back and it creates a tradition for that family
as the kids grow up, and then sometimes they have
their own kids and they start bringing their kids up and.

Speaker 12 (48:09):
We have more on their schedule over our upside at
foxtowntv dot com.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
All right, Steven Moody reporting from now, I needed to
hear that you perhaps didn't, but I the man felt
simple joy from growing a tree and then selling it
to someone and knowing that they were going to go
into their house and put a bunch of garbage on it.
That man's joy for me was a reminder. It reminded
me that simple pleasures are the best. When I wake

(48:35):
up in the morning, I often note to myself that
I am breathing, and I consider that a simple pleasure.
All right, look out of time blessedly for both of us.
Thank you for listening, as they say in Saarland, have
a good one, as they say in Theodore, take it

(48:56):
easy

Speaker 2 (48:58):
All right later
