A Break in the Case

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Uncle Henry Show weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Uncle Henry. This is Proverbs twenty five seventeen, the King
James version, withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house, lest
he be weary of thee and so hate thee. The

(00:21):
New International version seldom set your foot in your neighbor's house.
Too much of you, and he will hate you. Proverbs
twenty five seventeen.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
And now live from Mobile, Alabama, as the Stomach Churned,
starring Uncle Henry, coming to you through electro voice microphone.
Joining Henry will be callers, emailers, radio and Internet listeners. So,

(01:05):
without further ado, in the style of that great country
music legend Mini Pearl, here's in.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Thank you all right, thank you for listening to the
Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate it, Bear bear much. Once again.
Here we are together, me and you trying to figure
out what on earth is going on? What is going on?

(01:43):
What is going on in the world around us with
all these people acting as wild as they're acting. Maybe
you can help me figure it out. Well, here we
are two five, one, four seven nine, two two three
the telephone number here to reach the Uncle Henry Show.
I'm here with you, spending some time talking about what
is going on in the world around us, trying to

(02:05):
figure it all out. Today was a Mobile City Council meeting.
I will provide you with just a little bit, just
a little bit of coverage, not a lot, but just
a little bit. There was there was some good news
at today's Mobile City Council meeting and lots of boring
stuff as well. I'll let you watch the meeting. If
you're that interested. You can read about it at lanyapmobile

(02:29):
dot com. They do a very good job at Lamyak
lambyakmobile dot com with their coverage of the council, and
also you can watch the entire meeting on the City
of Mobile's YouTube channel. This is something I've told you
before that anytime you have some issue getting to sleep
at nine, if you want to use these councilmanies, these
council meetings will help you fall asleep. I guarantee it.

(02:49):
I guarantee it. Even when they're misspending tax dollar. Yes,
that's how how boring the meetings can be. Even when
they're wayting your cash, which happens from time to time.
Even then the boardom will overtake your anger and cause

(03:09):
you to fall asleep. Now, let's see from the council meeting.
Let me share with you just briefly, we had we
had the mayor out. The mayor was not at the
meeting today. Mayor Standy Simpson was not at the meeting today.
So there was an announcement from the Stemson administration made

(03:32):
by the Chief of Staff James Barber, the very tightly
wound James Barber. He had an announcement about the chu
Choo train. You remember the che Choo train that people
wanted to have for Mobile, federally funded chee Choo train.
That Mobile also had to kick in. I think the

(03:52):
City of Mobile the only city that actually had to
kick in on this. Otherwise it was states and federal government.
Somehow the City of Obil strong armed into putting some
money into this. Anyway, there was a chu Choo announcement.
So if you're one of the people that has just
been you just been, you've been wanting to ride that
chi Choo train, that federal chee Choo train to New
Orleans so you can have cocktails and things on the train.

(04:15):
Here is an announcement from the tightly wound chief of Staff,
James Barber. Now I'm warning you if you're driving the charisma,
don't let this charisma shock you and cause you to
just jerk on the steering wheel and cause some type
of accident. So just at a warning in advanced. The

(04:35):
charisma that's going to come out of this could blow
your mind. But here is the tightly wound James Barber
with an announcement from the stem Sing Administration about the
Federal Chu Choo Train Amtrak.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Amtrak Martigrass service. Less than a week away, we returned
to the Gulf Coast passenger rail service. First run of
Amtrak Martigrass service will be next Monday morning, August the eighteenth.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Next Monday morning, the first Choo Choo train drunken trip
to New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Our crews are paving and restriping the parking lot right now.
This wasn't required, but the city was able to do it.
And then there's a special things in Nick Amberger, who
worked with Amtrak to helped pay for this paving and restriping.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Right so, it was not required, but they wanted to
make sure that you've They wanted to make sure that
you had some nice pavement to park your vehicle on
when you're riding the cheat Choo train. Now they got
it there. It wasn't required, but they got it done.
Now think about this the next time you see a
pothole on Oakdale.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
So that we have a brand new, fresh facility instead
of an old parking lot with a new platform. The
City and Visitmobile working diligently with Amtrak to create a
welcoming space. Lots of excitement around the first trains, many
of which are sold out thanks to those who made
it happen. Governor Ivy, the Portomobile City Council, Southern Rail Commission,

(05:58):
and many others that I probably couldn't never name. Take
you some more information?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Would you like more information?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Here?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
The tightly wound chief of staff, James Barbaro will tell
you how to get additional information on the Chuo Choo
train for drunken excursions to New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Listen, carefully available at amtrak dot com slash Marty Gross
service hyphenated and nobody is going to remember that, all right?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
So isn't it fun when people feel like they've got
to give out websites in public meetings? It always is,
isn't it? All right? Let's see, there's more from the
council meeting. But before I get to that, let me
go to the phones.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
Hello caller, good evening, Uncle Henry.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Bert Bert, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
First of all, the last time I rode the train
to New Orleans, I was way too young to have cocktails,
Uncle Henry, Well good, me and my dad went to
see the autobon zoo. Was many many a year ago.
But it's been many a year since I within Mobile
city limits. I've been either in Theodore or in West Mobile,

(07:09):
where I am now. But I still keep up with
the mayor's race, and I still go, all right, if
I could vote, which candidate would I would I fit
to be?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
And I'm glad. I'm glad you're calling because these are
my favorite calls about the mayor's race, the calls from
out of town. So what are your thoughts as an
out of town or what are your what are your thoughts?

Speaker 5 (07:28):
So I was leaning toward Connie Hoodson Uh, And it
looks like we have a fifty to fifty chance. Half
of our candidates are women, So we had the fifty
to fifty chance of having the first female mayor of
Mobile between her and Barbara Drummond and Henry, I can
tell you right now, my mom would have made as

(07:51):
good a mayor as any mayor Mobile has ever had.
She would have said, uh, before we get anything else
with's fixt these days streets, let's pay these.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Pop holes very good.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
So I watched intently when when they had this debate,
and it seemed like they were all saying a lot
of the same things, what they were planned to do
and all that. And then then there came one point
where one candidate was distinguished from the others in the
answer that was given.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
All right, no, wait now, Bert, I've got to go
into the break. Can I get you? Can I get
you to hang on through the break so we can
have your your your your, your endorsement or whatever it's
going to be right out of the break.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
Certainly, all right, stand by.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I love the out of towner opinions. The non voters
are the most fun people to talk to in terms
of mobile municipal elections. And that happens after the break.
Uncle Henry Show News Radio seven to ten WNTM. It

(09:05):
is five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.
If you just tuned in due to your lack of
initiative or your lack of interest. We've been talking about
city Mobile stuff, and we've got Burt on the phone line.
Burt does not live in the city limits, and that
makes him the perfect person to talk about the mayor's race.

(09:27):
So Bert, as someone not eligible to participate in Mobile's
municipal election, you were about to tell us what you
noticed in the debate that made up your mind for
your fantasy vote.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
Yes, indeed, I'm going to tell you I'm not totally
committed now, but I'm now leaning towards the candidate that
said this. When it came to the issue of repealing
permitless concealed carry, yes, something that signed into law just
a couple of years ago by Governor Memol, it seemed

(10:01):
like all the other candidates were saying, uh, well, in
order to be pro law, in order you gotta be
anti gun rights. They were all in unison about that.
So then it came down to police chief all time,
and as police chief, I was expecting him to chime in, Yeah,
we got to get rid of that permitless concealed carret thing.

(10:23):
And that was a big cash cow for the police
for a long time. They always got that money for
that permit. But he was saying, well, before I'm a politician,
I'm a citizen, and I got to tell you right
now I support the Second Amendment and I support permitless
concealed carrit Well, at that point I started leaning toward Prime.

(10:48):
And by the way, the drummer from my band has
an all Prime sign in his front yard. So if
I was living in the city limits, I'm strongly leaning
towards supporting Prime.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Houn and you're not fully committed. You're leaning, but not
fully committed.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
Not fully, but I'm leaning heavily toward Primes. Okay, speaking
of my band, Doucle Henry. One more thing I gotta
mind everybody. This coming Saturday is going to be a
benefit at the Blues Tavern on Haulsville Road for a
musician friend of mine named Charleton McNabb that's been diagnosed
with tank creative cancer. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
I love the mcnabs. The mcnabs are just wonderful people
also great musicians, and I hope that's a very success.
Will you Will you call back Friday if you can
remember and talk about it again, because we need to
get people down there to that benefit.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Absolutely, absolutely, there's going to be pork chop plates for
ten dollars. I used to play in a band with
both of the mcnabs, well actually all three. One of
them is up lord now. But I don't know for
sure yet whether my band is going to be playing,
but we are going to be there. We're gonna show.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Up, very very good. That's this Saturday at the Blues
Tavern in Mobile. And what time do you know when
it all starts?

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Probably sometime in the afternoon. I can by Friday, I'll
know for sure, and I'll call back.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
In and mind everybody, all right, please do.

Speaker 8 (12:14):
All right?

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Thank you for taking a call, Henry, Thank.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
You bird for your phone call. As I mentioned, I
love it when people from out of the Mobile city
limits comment on who they would vote for if they
could vote for the mayor of Mobile, just like for example,
I'm leaning in the New York City mayor's race. I

(12:38):
haven't fully committed, but I'm leaning toward anybody but the Communist.
I'm leaning toward anybody. I guess that'd be Adams if
Adams is still in it. But I'm not committed fully
on the New York City mayor's race, but right now
leaning away from the Commie and toward non comedies. But
that's just me in that picular mayoral race that I

(13:02):
cannot vote in. Two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three. The telephone number on the Uncleaner show,
that's two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now I
mentioned that there was a there was a bit of
good news at today's Mobile City Council meeting, and the
good news was a man came down to speak to

(13:26):
the council. It's the first time I've seen this happen
in a long time, but it does happen from time
to time. A man showed up and all he did
he wanted to show up and just tell the council
what a great job they're doing, and tell all of
the city workers in administration what a great job they're doing.
And it was fun. It's it's a lot more fun

(13:49):
on the YouTube video because they show the council why
the man's speaking. And I don't think I've seen the
Mobile City Council give anyone their undivided attention the way
they've given this guy because he was praising them and
they just loved every minute of it. I don't know
if i'll play all of this, here's a little bit
of mister Freddie Wheeler talking about how great things are

(14:13):
in Mobile.

Speaker 9 (14:14):
Thank you for allowing me this time. I come before
you today to say thanks for your leader, for the
leadership that you exhibit on a daily basis, and your
efforts on behalf of the citizens of this city. Mayor Simpson,
thanks for guiding the city for the past twelve years,
and your administrative staff past and present. You have always
managed to have a very capable people working to make

(14:36):
our city a better place. I particularly want to say
thanks to the current Chief of Staff, James Barber, Joe Snowden,
Ricardo Woods, Shanda Williams, NT Bamberger, Bob Laski, Chief, Randy
Jackson Interim Chief listen, and all of these folks come

(14:57):
to work every day to work make Mobile a better
place for all of us. I wanted to say also
thanks to downtown Keisha Brown, Candice Cooksy and this Lisa Lambert.
Y'all are outstanding. I want to say thanks to the
current city council.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Now he's got them eating out of the palm of
his hand. There's everybody. All of these city works, these people,
they're used to the public going down there and telling them, hey,
if you don't mind, there's a ten foot hole in
the ground. Can you go over there, that's right in
the middle of a street. Can you feel it? But
they're not used to this. They are not used to this.

Speaker 9 (15:34):
Because just over two years ago, you voted in Nanaisley
to allow us and West Mobile to decide if we
wanted to become a part of Mobile, and on July eighteenth,
we voted to do just that. On August twenty sixth,
many of us will vote for the first time in
the City of Mobile elections. So many times I'll watch
city council memory meetings and people come to tell you

(15:56):
what's wrong with Mobile. I'm here to remind people what
is right. The city keeps improving, it keeps getting better
each day. Many things are right. The miles of asphalt
that have been laid over the past few years are amazing,
and I dare say this will continue to happen. Each
of you have.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Thank the Lord, and that wonderful. He's optimistic that they
will actually continue to pave and eventually all of the
torn up, neglected streets that I have seen every day
for many decades, maybe one day they'll be on the list.

Speaker 9 (16:30):
Have improved numerous parts within each of your districts. Each
of you have made work to make homes more affordable,
and everyone continues to answer your phones and answer questions
citizens have at all hours of the day, most times,
at the cost to you and your family. The future
is bright the addition of Downtown Airport, the new river bridge,

(16:53):
the expanding cruise lines, and other opportunities such as finishing
Brookly by the Bay.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Before I up the oil.

Speaker 9 (17:00):
Industry in twenty eighteen, one of my jobs was to
look forward at future needs and resources, and the hordest
was replacing institutional knowledge that was lost. I hope this
election cycle people will know that those seated today need
to continue so we don't lose that institutional knowledge.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Oh, don't lose it. So this is a big vote
for the incumbent. Speech made in front of all the incumbents,
and they loved it. You know, he made mobiles sound
so wonderful. Almost got dizzy. There's the Uncle Henry Show

(18:01):
here on news radio seven to ten WNTM. It is
five thirty five. Got callers waiting to talk, So let
me go to the phones here two five one four
seven nine two three the telephone number on the Uncle
Henry Show. Thank you for waiting. Hello there, Hey, ok Henry.

Speaker 10 (18:21):
My name is Bobby.

Speaker 11 (18:22):
I live out in Wilmam and I'm not in the
city limits. And I too, I used to live in
the city limits, so I can tell you why I
left the city limits. I mean, uh, one of the
things I'm curious about, though, you know, the city basically
owns all the land around Bee Creek Lake now, and
my land actually butts up against it.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Huh.

Speaker 10 (18:43):
So my question is, after, you know, will they be
able to consider that all city property and start hand
Axingvite Samson toward Mississippi. If they were able to do that,
then that would put me back into the limits again.
And the reason I left the sittments were just all
the weird, crazy rules they have. They'll give you a
free guard can if they don't tell you. If you

(19:05):
put it out a day early, they'll write you. If
you don't put it up the day after, they'll write
you a ticket. If you have a vehicle in your
yard that doesn't have a tag on it, they'll write
you a ticket. And though it has nothing to do
with that vehicle being on the hall. Yep, it has
to have a tag on it you on your property,
and then in the city there is a permanent burn

(19:26):
band so you can't burn anything you kind of limbs
or anything in your yard. So I mean, it's it's
just that's why I got left. I was so sick
of all the credit stuff and the crooked politicians and
everything down there. But if I could vote if the
city in the city's race, it would be Paul Pine.

(19:46):
I think he's the right job. And if I lived
in the city limit, that's who I would vote for.
Is Paul Prynt. Well, you know, well.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
I really appreciate you calling in and letting us know.
As I've said, I love the out of town perspective
and I and you're the first call from Wilmer in
a while. I really appreciate that.

Speaker 10 (20:05):
Uh yeah, And you know, I'm listening to your show
and listen to the i'm mens and everything. But I
just you don't wonder to kind of give everybody a
a birth's view of something somebody that's been in the
city and why I left, you know, And because the
people that are looking to be annexed, they'll get promised
all this stuff but they don't get they don't get
told you know what the consequences are of not bringing

(20:28):
your trash can in or put out a day early,
or are putting your trash. You know, they'll pick your
limb and stuff, but if you put them out on
the wrong week, they'll write you a ticket. And I mean,
it's just crazy what they do. I mean, they threatened
to write me almost a four dollars ticket because my
dad had had a stroke and was bedridden and I
couldn't get to his vig stuff to get him a

(20:50):
tag on his truck, so they was gonna write me
a ticket. So basically I turned the truck, ran back
it up to the house and pretty much told them
they sent in foot of my property them arrested by
the deputy sheriff for coming onto my property at the
back of that truck. Yeah, And so, I mean it
was just just ake and I was so glad to
get out of Titty, and I just I mean, I

(21:11):
just hope and pray that they're not able to start
handacksing backward SEMs because of all the land they owned
around Big Creek League.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Well, I don't think you have much. I hope you
don't have anything to worry about. And I think the
land out there, I think it's malls and not the city.
But I am not really sure about all that. But
I don't think you have anything to worry about. I
think the city has enough on its hands without trying
to get out there near Big Creek Lake.

Speaker 10 (21:35):
Well, the malls has been talking to giving that land
to the city, so that's my concern.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
All right. Yeah, well, sir, I really appreciate your phone call.
Thank you for listening out there.

Speaker 10 (21:47):
Yes, sir, thank you, and you have a day out
Henry you too.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
There he goes. Wilmer love getting the calls from Mount Wilmer.
Way the stories I could tell, and one day I
might about Wilmer. But this man did out line the
pros and cons of being in the city limits. There
is uh, there are all the the the wonderful things
about living in the city limits, and I'll let you

(22:10):
figure out what those are. But he talked about all
of the simple pleasures that he can enjoy being outside
of city limits, the simple pleasures of being able to
burn something in your yard whenever you want to just
have just I know some people out in the county,
they'll they'll just invite friends over and they'll look for

(22:32):
things to throw into a fire, like big TVs and
things like that. And then there's there's the simple pleasure
of having a junked out car in the back or
front yard. What a pleasure that was, you know, when
I was a child, Uh, there was a time I
lived out in Mobile County, outside of any city limits,

(22:54):
and one of my neighbors had a junked out car
in their yard and that was that was all our
swing set. We didn't have a swing set or playground
equipment or anything like that, but we had that junked
out car and we had so much fun. We'd sit
in that car. We could pretend that we were on
a pirate ship or a spaceship, or or it was

(23:16):
our own car and we were driving around. It was
just so much fun as a child playing around with
the junk car. And also the just the fun of
the the refrigerators in the yard and all that, just
all the fun. So yeah, there's pros and cons to
being in the city limits. Two five to one four
seven nine two seven two three. That's two five to

(23:38):
one four seven nine two seven two three. Now I
played before I went into break I shared with you
the man, this mister Wheeler, that was at the city
council meeting today. That is just so. He loves Mobile.
He just became a citizen of Mobile two years ago
through annexation, and he loves everything about the city. Uh,

(23:59):
here's what sounds like again if you didn't hear the voice.

Speaker 9 (24:05):
Thank you for allowing me this time I come before
you to day to stay. Thanks for your leader, for
the leadership that you exhibit on a daily basis.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
It was just very complimentary. Now I got a voicemail.
Let me play this voicemail for you. This came in
during that phone call from RT.

Speaker 7 (24:24):
Hey, uncle Henry, this is RT. I'm listening to this
guy you're playing right now praising the city council. Yes,
that has got to be the same guy that calls
in and harasses you about your mother what and your
wife what? Out there waiting everything you are right now?

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Let me pause it. So you're saying this man is
You're saying that you think this is the guy that's
been calling in and attacking my family.

Speaker 9 (24:56):
Thank you for allowing me this time I come before
you today to stay. Thank for your leader, for the
leadership that you exhibit on a daily basis.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
I don't you know, I don't Rtie, I don't know
if I hear it.

Speaker 9 (25:07):
Mayor Simpson, thanks for guiding the city for the past
twelve years and your administrative staff past.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
So you so you think that's the guy that's been
attacking my family, Rtie, that's what that's that's I guess
that's the message here.

Speaker 7 (25:19):
Hey about their weight and everything. You who are who's
being calm and harassing you? That that's the same that's
the same individual. Uncle Hendring. Wow, I recognize that voice.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (25:35):
I mean my gosh, I mean, uh, he dangers. I
think everybody should be concerned anyway, Be safe, have a
good day.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Artie, thank you. Rt thank you. This is the first
break in the case we've had and well over a year. Artie,
thank you. I'll begin the investigation during the show, of course,
but I'll begin the investigation soon on this and see
if we can get to the bottom of it. We'll
have to do some voice analysis between recordings of that

(26:09):
ne'er do well that calls the show versus this audio
from city Council and see if there's a similarity in
voice patterns. But Artie, thank you, Artie, thank you for
listening to the show. I do appreciate that. And voicemailing
in voicemail if you'd rather leave a voicemail two five
to one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two

(26:31):
five one two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave
a message for the Uncle Henry Show. Now, and I
did not play the entirety of that man, mister Wheeler,
that was praising the City of Mobile and talking about
how every incumbent should be back because you don't want

(26:52):
to lose their institutional knowledge. It would be a loss
for the city to lose their institutional knowledge. Now, I
didn't play all of that c for you. You should
watch the rest of it on the city's YouTube channel,
because I think Joel Daves gives the man an extra minute.

(27:13):
He was enjoying the praise so much. He gave him
an extra minute, and there was praise. The council praised
him back, a little praise. Best down there. All right,
gotta go to break for traffic and weather and words
from the lovely sponsors, and then back with more Uncle

(27:34):
Henry Show, it says The Uncle Henry Show here on

(28:00):
news Radio seventy ten WNTM IT five fifty news headlines
are coming up.

Speaker 7 (28:12):
He love caller, I'll gole Henry.

Speaker 10 (28:15):
Yes, sir, Hey, this is Dwane Dwayne.

Speaker 6 (28:20):
Yes, okay, I was talking about the mayor race and
I heard where Chief Brian was all for concealed carry.
But going back to the permits, now, I'm all for that.
I have a permit. It expired in April. Of course
you can't get them anymore. But I feel like if
an officer sees someone caring, he should have a legal

(28:42):
right to ask to see the permit. If you don't
have a permit, you were charged with carrying a concealed
weapon without a permit. Right not necessarily arrested, but you'll
have a court date. You can go down there try
to get your gun back on your court date. But
if he arrests, if he takes your gun and then

(29:04):
runs a background check and you're a felon, automatically you're
going to jail because there's against the law for a
fellon to even own a firearm.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Right, So how do you get around the actual part
of the constitution telling us that you shall not infringe
on my right to carry a gun?

Speaker 6 (29:21):
Well, you can carry a gun, but go through the
legal channels and get you a pistol permit.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
But that infringes on the right to carry it.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
If you're a fellon, you're not going to be able
to obtain a pistol permit.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Right, But I'm not a felon, well not yet anyway.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
But in other words, you just don't want to have
to go get the permit.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Well, no, I'm look, I've had pistol permits, didn't mind
having it. But the whole question is, you know, people
remind us the Constitution says a certain thing which you're
not to infringe on someone's right to bear arms, and
there's all kinds of people try trying to infringe on it.
And you're what you're calling. You're calling to tell me
that you agree, you do not you do not agree

(30:06):
with the constitution you would like to infringe on it
just a little bit.

Speaker 6 (30:10):
Well, now that you put it that way, I can
understand that side of the the argument also.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
But I understand you're you have a very good side
to the argument because this is a tool that the
law enforcement can use to get the guns away from
the felons exactly.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
You know, and these underage kids carrying guns they don't
have a Okay, they're miners, but does the Constitution not
apply to miners? I mean, I don't feel like a
miner should be able to carry a fire up pistol around.
You know, We've got these kids out here killing, killing
each other every day, A.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Right, I agree, I mean, you.

Speaker 6 (30:50):
Know, and we just got to get these guns out
of these young kids' hands that think the only way
to solve an argument is by pulling a gun and
shooting somebody.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Well I would, yes, Look, I agree with you on that.
That is a terrible problem that we are not even
beginning to to solve.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
Yeah, it's it's and it's rampant, and it's not just
in mobiles. I work up in the country a lot too,
and things are getting bad all up around Thomasville Jackson. Really,
this is where you wouldn't think.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Now, tell me about tell me about that. I love
that part of Alabama. I love that whole area. Grove Hill, Thomasville, Jackson.

Speaker 6 (31:27):
What I what, Jackson, Grove Hill, all the way up
to Camden.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
What's happening up there?

Speaker 6 (31:33):
Well, it's just it's not as concentrated as it is
in Mobile. But the young people not that the whole
people are just as well mannered, respectful. I love work
in this area up here, But some of the kids
they're just coming out there, they've just got that belligerent attitude,

(31:57):
you know, like hey, I'll just shoot you, you know.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
And they're not raised that way, not by no means
up here, but you know, they're getting it. I guess
fear pressure at school or whatever. It seems to be
the younger generation twenty and younger.

Speaker 11 (32:11):
Right.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Well, it's all in the culture, isn't it. I mean
it's it's in the music, Yes, sir, it's it's in Uh,
it's it's all over social media.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
Yeah, exactly. And as far as that guy that was
speaking at the town hall meeting addressing city council, Yeah,
that's not your prank caller, Uncle Henry.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
I can tell oh good good.

Speaker 6 (32:32):
You're gonna have to learn to recognize this guy's voice
when you answer the phone and say hello collar and
you hear his voice say hi, just hang up the phone.

Speaker 10 (32:41):
All right.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Well, I'll try to do better on recognizing the voice
when I.

Speaker 6 (32:47):
Hear it on the radio, arm like, oh lord, here
it goes.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
I might need to I might need to have you
text me when these things happen, we'll have to we'll
have to talk about that.

Speaker 6 (32:56):
Yeah, when I retire and lesson that year, Uncle Henry,
I'll volunt wonderful.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
All right, very good. Hey, well, thank you, thank you
for your phone call. And I agree with your concerns
about it. And I don't know who knows where we're
gonna go with these uh these permits. Uh, we're in
a we're in a situation in the country where a
lot of the people that make the laws they want
to they want to stand up for Second Amendment because

(33:23):
they know that is a big voting block in the country.
But law enforcement always wants to have the the permits. Yeah,
I guess it depends on the strength of the lobbying
efforts between law enforcement versus gun folks. All right, there's

(33:45):
more show after the news break here on news radio
seven to ten WNTM. We have Fox News coming up
and then more Uncle Henry's Show. Listen to previous episodes
as podcasts on the iHeart Radio app or at NewsRadio
seven ten dot com. It says the Uncle Henry Show

(34:26):
here on news Radio seven ten wnt M. Thank you,
Thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Now,
in this half hour of show, I'm gonna get to
some news items that I missed. You may have missed
them too. Now I've got some mobile Alabama news in here.
But before I get to that, there's a story out

(34:47):
of Birmingham. I don't know how much of this will
will cover. I just thought the beginning of this story
was quite was quite intriguing. Listen to this. This is
from WBRCTV in Birmingham, a stepsister station of Foxtown. Listen

(35:07):
to how the reporters introduced this story. Now, this is
a story where human remains have been found, unfortunately, but
listen to how this story starts, and you'll understand why
I wanted to share it with you.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
He's waiting on DNA results on some skeletal remains that
a dog found in a Jefferson County neighborhood and a.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Dog found some human remains. Now, listen to this.

Speaker 12 (35:31):
A dog found in a Jefferson County neighborhood and.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
This is the third time since last year that this
dog has found a human bone.

Speaker 13 (35:38):
Your reporter, Jazz William.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Wait, what did you hear that this is the third
time this one dog since last year? Has now found
human bones for a third time. What is going on
in Birmingham? Found in a Jefferson County neighborhood and this

(36:01):
is the third time since last year that this dog
has found a human bone.

Speaker 14 (36:04):
Your reporter, Jazz william Is live and studio Now, Jazz,
what do you find out out about this unusual case?

Speaker 3 (36:10):
By the way, they have I'm sorry I can't show
you the video because radio still Radio still doesn't have video.
We're working on it, but we don't have it yet.
Orsha could show you the video. They have video of
a dog, a cute little dog, just frolicking, just having
fun finding human bones. It sounds like every other week

(36:34):
finding human bones. Let's hear let's find out what's this
all about?

Speaker 14 (36:38):
Really is unusual, Morgan Jonathan, Like you said, this marks
the third time that family's dog has found human skeletal
remains on or near their property since August of twenty
twenty four.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
On their property or near it. Now, before we hear
anymore of this, how many times would you have to
fine human remains on or near your property before you
thought maybe maybe we picked the wrong place to live.
Maybe maybe we might want to put this for sale.

(37:12):
And find a different neighborhood that has less human remains
laying around on their property.

Speaker 14 (37:20):
Human skeletal remains on or near their property since August
of twenty twenty four, and on Friday, officials say it
was another long bone that the dog found in the
front yard. That's that black dog right there. In fact,
I just want to walk.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Here, the black dog having so much fun playing in
the video. I don't know, Maybe I may, I don't.
I don't even want to speculate what finding remains repeatedly
would do to a dog psychology.

Speaker 14 (37:43):
Through a quick timeline here back to August of twenty
twenty four, that's when that dog found a man's skull
on the shoulder of the roadway next to their house.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
What's going on? What is going on up there? Finite
skulls on the side of the road. It's not Halloween time,
all right. So in August of twenty twenty four, finding
a skull on the side of the road near the house.

Speaker 14 (38:09):
On fifth Place Northwest in Birmingham. Now police later declared
this a homicide investigation. They told us the skull belonged
to an unidentified man who died as a result of
a gunshot.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
Wound and back lord to have mercy.

Speaker 14 (38:22):
When they initially searched the property, they found nothing else.
That was until December of twenty twenty four, when that
same dog found a human left tibia or lower leg
bone that was in front of the yard of that
same house. Now officials were able to determine both bones
belonged to the same person. They placed trackers on the dog.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Lord, have mercy. All right, Well, you know, I don't
want to see anybody torn apart or whatever happened here.
But better to be just one person than a group
of people if you're finding remains.

Speaker 14 (38:55):
Dog In March of this year, and after thoroughly searching
that property, they that Friday, August eighth is when that
same dog found a third bone. Let's know what the
owner said about when she discovered it.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Okay, now, this is this is what I've been waiting
for in this story. Let's meet the owner.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
She probably brought it around seven thirty to eight, because
when I was heading to.

Speaker 14 (39:21):
Work, she had left and in front of my vehicle.
That's a scary sight to walk out too in the morning.
I'll tell you that much.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Well over the weekend, JACKA, Yes it is, Yes, it is,
and now you never know when your dog is going
to show up with human remains and bring him to
the house. Wow.

Speaker 14 (39:39):
Po sheriffs they utilized k nines to search out a
wooded area nearby. They also found more skeletal remains lower
and have mercy and I also did reach out to
the coroner's office, who told me it is still too
early in this investigation for him to give any more
information on the most recent findings, but he did say
officials are actively working to find out if those remains
belonged to the same man. Jas Williams w BRC six

(40:03):
News on your side.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
All right, I think glad you're on my side. By
the way, I can use all the help I can get.
All right, well, dog finding bones. I guess this this
just sounds like the beginning of either a TV some
type of TV show, either fictional or nonfiction, because this

(40:27):
is one of those points where the actual nonfiction is
probably more interesting than anything anybody could invent in terms
of this. All right, Well, the lady that owns the
dog shouldn't sound too rattled. Maybe once you get the
second bone, you're not as rattled as the first one.
I think the skull would have really rattled me more.

(40:48):
And and I get that kind of makes sense to me.
Once you get to once you go from skull to legbones,
then you maybe lose your sensitivity to bones being found
in the yard. All right, let's see, let me move
on from that, and I'll keep you updated if there's
any any more remains found up there in Birmingham. Let
me see. Let me get back to Mobile, Alabama. Here's

(41:09):
a story about the new Mobile Downtown Airport. The Mobile
Airport Authority had a meeting and Fox ten had a
reporter in the meeting to tell us what happened at
the meeting today.

Speaker 8 (41:25):
As vertical construction continues, the new terminal at the Mobile
International Airport is still expected to be finished by September
of twenty twenty six, with flights starting in the fall.
And now we're learning more about what may be featured inside.

Speaker 12 (41:37):
We have some fantastic restaurants here, so we reached out
to some local restaurants just to gaze their interest, and
there seems to be a lot of interest in possibly
locating a new establishment in the new terminal. So we
will formally ask a lot of different restaurants for possible bids.
As we get closer to the build out, which should

(41:59):
be towards the end of the show.

Speaker 8 (42:00):
And the buzz isn't just at the airport. We've seen
the opening of new businesses and hotels in our area,
which is just a ten minute drive away, and the
airport says businesses in Baldwin County are anticipating the opening
of the terminal as well.

Speaker 12 (42:11):
We're approaching four hundred thousand implayments per year, so that's
folks coming and going into mobile booking, hotel rooms, getting ubers,
eating in restaurants, and we believe that will continue to
grow and it'll benefit all sorts of businesses around mobile.

Speaker 8 (42:27):
The timeline was pushed back from the initial twenty twenty
five completion date, but the one thing that hasn't changed
is the budget of over three hundred and eighty million dollars,
which the airport Authority is proud of.

Speaker 12 (42:37):
At the end of the day, ticket prices are based
on your cost frame.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
All right, Well, so I guess the news here is
they're looking at getting mobile restaurants in there. I think
I'd like to have a Grier's Shaint Louis market inside
the airport terminal and all show maybe food sackles. All
right back after the break with more Uncle Henry's Show.

(43:20):
It says the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. News headlines are coming up for you
in about ten minutes. Before we get to those news headlines,
a few more stories that I missed and you might
have missed too. Now, if you've listened to recent episodes

(43:41):
of The Uncle Henry Show, last week, talked on the
air with you about whether or not people are getting dumber?
Are people in Western civilization getting dumber and dumber? Or
have people always been at this level of dumbness and
we're just noticing it more because of social media and

(44:05):
all of the spreading of narcissism, where everybody feels like
they've got to share every thought, every activity of their
lives on social media. So now we have more evidence
that people lack brain power? Is which one is it?
Are people dumber or do we just see it more
because of the advances in technology and the advances in narcissism.

(44:30):
Well maybe this story would fit one of those things.
I've found out that McDonald's is coming back with adult
happy meals. Now, why why would we need this? If
everything were going good with our culture? Why would an

(44:52):
adult need a happy meal? Think about it, Why would
an adult need a happy meal? If everything is going
good in our culture, in our societ, why would an
adult want to be treated like a child with an
adult happy meal? Let's say I've got the story here.
Here is Fox News's Tanya Jay Powers reporting on the

(45:16):
return of happy Meals for grown ups.

Speaker 15 (45:21):
Six collectible tens with a side of nostalgia. McDonald's new
adult happy Meals bring back its classic characters. The new
Welcome to McDonaldland meal features Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Birdie, Hamburglar
and the Fry Friends, and don't worry, even though Mayor
mccheese hasn't been seen since nineteen eighty three, he's also
returning for the promotion. The meal comes with a quarter

(45:42):
pounder with cheese or ten piece McNuggets plus fries and
a shak named for Mount McDonald land, inspired by the
pink clouds and blue lava of the mythical volcano.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
I mean, come on now, look, why does why do
adults want to be nine years old all the time?
Sometimes you need to be whatever your real age is.
I know it's still allegedly a free country. It's still
allegedly a free country. And you can go to your
job and work really hard all day, earn a nice living,
buy your family house. And you're saying to me, probably screaming,

(46:14):
it aut me right now, it's none of me. What
is it your business? Uncle Henry? If I want to
act like I'm nine and play with Mayor mccheese as
i'm eating nuggets, well you're right, it's still allegedly a
semi free country. So if you want to be an infant,
if you want to be infantile and sit around, maybe

(46:35):
you should put on a diaper and get your pacifier
and listen to the show while you play with your
hot wheel toys to relieve whatever stress is in your
adult life. What is it? What's going on? Why do
we have to be nine years old? Even when people
are forty fifty, sixty years old, Why do they have
to act like they're an eight year old?

Speaker 15 (46:52):
Electable tens include character postcards, stickers, and more.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
McDonald Yeah, that's just what I need at my age.
I want some stickers. I want some Mayor mcchee stickers.
Maybe I could put Mayor mcchee stickers on the side.
Of my headphones.

Speaker 15 (47:08):
Wells is also teaming up with pacsn and a way
for limited edition merchandise like sweats and teas, as well
as bag charms. Tanya J. Powers Fox News, all.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Right, well, it doesn't seem like fun, nostalgia or even
cute to me. It just seems to be another symptom
of our culture having a tremendous mental health problem. And
what are the symptoms? Half the states want to legalize

(47:37):
all kinds of drugs so people can be out of
touch with reality, and they want to bring they want
to have adult happy meals. So when you get a
hamburger and chicken nuggets, you can also have stickers to
play with. It's a mental health problem, all right. One
more story. This is for the snake Trapper. I don't

(47:57):
know if he's listening right now, but snake Trapper a
caller to the Uncle Henry Show. Here, This is for you,
Snake Trapper. A Florida man has caught eighty seven pythons
in one month.

Speaker 13 (48:13):
He's been awarded one thousand dollars for doing it through
a state incentive plan. Aaron Mann given the money as
part of a python elimination program, which encourages python hunters
to capture and kill as many as possible. The Burmese
pythons were first spotted in the Everglades in the nineteen nineties.
Since then, their numbers have multiplied. Roughly nineteen thousand have

(48:38):
been removed the nineteen.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Thousand this decade.

Speaker 13 (48:42):
Gary Baumgarten, Fox News nineteen.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
They've removed nineteen thousand pythons in ten years out of
the Florida Averglades. You think you're they think they're gonna
get rid of these things. No, it's not funny, but
it looks to me. It looks to me like the
pythons are going to be there way longer than we
are at this rate. But this one man eighty seven

(49:08):
pythons in a month in the story, unfortunately didn't give
us any of the details on how what the methods were.
Did he just get up early and work harder. I'd
like to know. I bet the man that caught eighty
seven pythons in one month does not go get an
adult happy meal so he can have special stickers and

(49:31):
little toys of Ronald McDonald. All right, out of time
for this edition of the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate
very much you listening to it. You can listen to
previous episodes as podcasts on the iHeartRadio app. As they
say in Sarahland, have a good one, and as they
say in Theodore, take it easy

Speaker 7 (49:55):
All right later
