Speaker 1 (00:41):
One two one six nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Now I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Start with sixty eight. You're old Chris of wes Locksley
who made a weekended voicemail about well, it's about evincing
his life, So try hunk.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Well, I'm sitting out here on the front porch at
two forty two pm on the Saturday. Hope everything went
all right. We'd get the country in Western Shindig there
last night. I'm sure you will tell us all about
it come monday.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yes, and I have in the previous if you missed
that previous hour of the Uncle Henry Show. If you
if you care and you want to find out about
sand in my Boots festival and my experiences there. Listen
to the show. It's a podcast Uncle, every show available.
It's a podcast at NewsRadio seventen dot com. So sixty
(01:35):
eight year old Chris on a Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Had a little, uh something different occur here at the
West Lockley the West a Locksley household. Yeah today, woke
up this morning then the internet was out and the
recording on the internet provider stated that a fiber had
(02:00):
been cut during the night and it would be repaired soon,
which they got it fixed at around noonish. So I
guess you would consider that soon.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Now before you go, the message will go on here,
but I just want to reflect for a moment. Sixty
eight year old Chris went a while with his internet out.
Now I feel blessed now. I like the I like
having internet access I do. I like going on there
and reading about this and looking at pictures of that.
(02:30):
Nothing nasty, you know what I'm talking about. But uh,
if something happened to my internet, no panic. Now, I
know some people younger would not know what to do.
Think think about it. Some young people that have been
born after the invention, would they be Can they handle
(02:53):
it if their.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Internet goes out? See if mine goes out.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Oh well, I mean, I appreciate it, but I don't
know that it bothers me, but to a young person.
In fact, think of the young people being raised now
with smart speakers in their houses, like the Amazon Alexa
or the whatever they call the Google version of that.
(03:18):
They're used to walking into a room and just saying
something out loud, asking a question in a room, like
what's the weather going to be like?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Or whatever? People say to those devices. Now when their
internet goes out.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Do they still walk Do they still walk around in
rooms just asking questions to the walls and things? And
I hope you're raising your kids to where they can
live without internet just a case. You never know what
can happen in this world. All right back to sixty
eight year old Chris of West Lovesley.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Which they got it fixed at around noonish, so I
guess you would consider that soon. But you know, I
found myself entertained by something else. Neighbors across the street
was having a tree cut down in the front yard
and I was able to watch them first chainsaw that
sucker and then to get it up by the roots
(04:14):
and all tied to the back of a full full
body forward pickup truck and snatch that rascal up out
the ground and all this last I'm getting around, you know,
a couple of liars. But again it was entertaining, and
it was without the Internet. And the two fellas that
(04:37):
did that fulling the tree up then they migrated next
door to another one and had had the cutting down
sawing down of another tree over there for a different customer.
So this turned has turned out to be a quite
productive Saturday there, Uncle, how is yours gone?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Sixteen year old Chris, thank you for asking, Thank you
for leaving that voicemail message. Voicemail message number is two
five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. Two five
one two one six nineteen seventy six. Thank you for asking.
My hot As I mentioned last hour, extremely hot, but
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed going to the Scent of
(05:19):
My Boots festival. But I appreciate you telling me about
this because this is something that I I You and
I are not that different. I would have been entertained.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Also.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Now, you the listener, you may think it sounds boring
watching people cut down a tree for a couple hours. No, no,
always I would be entertained.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
By that as well.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I could sit on the porch there with sixty eight
year old Chris and drink a cup of coffee and
watch a tree get cut down and enjoy seeing the
strategies involved, the principles and strategies involved, and what they
did first and all that kind of stuff, and how
they did this and how they did that.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, that's that. Yes, that's the level that I'm at
in life where I would something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
So sixty eight year old Criss, you're not alone in
that being entertaining. In fact, about eight years ago, I
had some trees in a backyard that I needed to
cut down, and I went. I used the internet that
we were talking about, and I went and I watched
a bunch of tree cutting tutorials to see if I
could pick up some pointers. I thought I knew what
(06:22):
I was doing, but there's always somebody that knows a
lot more than me, and on just about every topic.
So I actually went and watched videos to enhance my
tree cutting prowess. So sixty sixty eight year old Chris,
thank you again for the voicemail. Now, last week I
mentioned I was talking about today's modern kids and having
(06:44):
smartphones and schools and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
And I mentioned the fact that when I was in.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
School, we didn't have air conditioning and we survived. And
I got a call about schools with that air conditioning.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Hey, uncle, Henry. Yeah, I was just thinking about what
you said earlier about schools not having the air conditioning,
and yeah, and that was the truth. The buildings and
homes back then when we were kids were built not
to have air conditioning that we could survive in them
(07:19):
through the ventilation. And remember those clank windows and stuff
and all the fans. So those buildings and the people
within the buildings and the homes were able to survive.
But the way they build buildings now, if you don't
(07:40):
have air conditioning, you can't survive in those buildings. Brand
it would be major property damage to the building because
there will not be enough ventilation. So that's something I
realized in the newer homes. If you go a few
(08:01):
days without air condition and there's not enough ventilation to survive,
you have to actually leave your home. You're right there,
you get your air condition You're right. So that's see, No,
that's just the way things are today. I mean, I
don't know if that's good or bad. I don't think
it's very good, but anyway, we'll have a good time tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Bye, Hey, thank you. I believe that was RT. Yeah. RT.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
They try in the new homes, they try to make them.
They try to make them as tight as they can
they can for energy efficiency.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
So if the AC doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, you're you need to get out of there because
there's not going to be much air coming in.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
All right, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
To take a time out, a break for trafficing weather
and word from our sponsors, and then more Uncle Henry's
Show after the break.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Let's take the break.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on news radio
seven to ten WNTM. News headlines are coming up in
ten minutes celebrating Sinko Demayo. The Uncle Henry Show celebrating
Senko Demayo respectfully with no stereotypes.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
In fact, I will not have any tequila because that
might be considered by some snowflaky types of stereotypical. No,
I will be very non stereotypical of my enjoyment. In fact,
I've got some German food I want to eat when
I go home, with some cabbage and sausage.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's how I'm.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Celebrating because I'm not being stereotypical. All right, hey, before
we're out of time, As I mentioned news headlines coming
up in ten minutes. I mentioned last hour that I
had a wonderful time yesterday and buy a labattery at
the blessing of the fleet. Just what a lovely event.
(10:04):
Everybody's so hospitable, everybody getting along, just so laid back.
It was laid back, it was southern and at the
same time people of just various cultures getting together and
enjoying each other's company for the blessing of the fleet. Now,
I thought you might want to hear Fox Tens roundup
of this. I believe the reporter lady is named Claudia Nichols.
(10:28):
She was there or somebody was there, and she files
this report.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
This was the seventy sixth year of the blessing of
the fleet and Byolabattery, and there was no shortage of
activities for families to enjoy.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Bought all those who make their living on the waters
and all those who enjoyed the waters.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I remember also those.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Were thought the Archbishop will come out here and will
bless all of the show boats and all of the
boats out here in dark and even like all the
way down the bayou and would just go right, oh,
bless all the boats.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
Archbishop Thomas Roadie set a blessing over the fleets and
shrimp boats on the dock of Saint Margaret's Catholic Church
Sunday afternoon. The fleet blessing celebrates life along the working
waterfront of Bayoulabattery and remembers those who perished at sea.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
They started off, like I said, seventy six years ago
and we've been going ever since. Originally, the priests of
the parish just went by blessing each boat that was
tied up at the dock, and they had a boil
shrimp and what have you like that. And over the
years the event has grown.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
As the blessing of the fleet.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Has And I'm sorry to interrupt the report because I
know it's riveting that you're just soaking this information up
like a sponge, like a dry spune. You're just soaking
it up because it's so rivety. Let me just a
brief comment on the food. The food was so good.
In fact, most people go for seafood. They were offering friedhrimp,
(11:56):
boiled shrimp, a stuffed cram. I think some fried fish.
I had some of that, but I also got some
I had fried rice, egg roll crab rangoon. The food
was so good. I thought to myself, I need to
be driving down here more often.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yes, it took me about thirty minutes to get there
from midtim Mobile. I thought, I really need to make
the trip more often. And I also wondered, why can't
I get the quality of egg roll and fried rice
in mobile that I got all the way down in
by Alavattery. The quality of that food was just so good. Anyway,
back to the riveting report, it's almost like you.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
Will that the years, the event has grown as the
blessing of the fleet has grown. Throughout the years, the
festivities have expanded to include local vendors offering a variety
of seafood dishes and arts and crafts, festival parades and
boat tours.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
If it's a.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Walk around like there's blow ups and stuff for the
kids and.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Just have fun, you know, with family and friends.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
It's in a very special time in a year for
us all down here. We always have good crowd here,
good deep on good food.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Look, I'm sorry to interrupt again. I love the people.
This is real life. These are real people. I wish
that all of the callers to the Uncle Henry Show
had voices like this. No offense to all the regular callers.
But I wish that guy, whoever they didn't identify him
in the report, I wish he'd call and leave me
some voicemails and stuff, because I love his speaking.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Boys.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
We always have good crowd here, good deep on good food.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
It's so exciting to be part of it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I mean, and that lady, I mean, I wish she'd
call the show and leave some messages, any topic, as
long as it's not filthy.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
We're just pleased to be a big part of it.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Mayor of Bay Labatory Henry Barnes was honored to serve
as the Grand Marshal of this year's celebration. Barnes says
he's been attending the Blessing of the fleet since childhood.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Did we used to? I used to come here with
my parents and we would cook clean fish, ball shrimp.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
My dad and I cook the gumbo for about twenty
years here.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And hey, if you wondered how to become mayor down there,
it probably helps. If you cook the gumbo for about
twenty years, probably helps, Probably does.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Cooke the gumbo for about twenty years here.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
And new memories continued to be made at the docks.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I cook, see the boats, who are the ways? This
is something really special.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
I mean it is really special.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Tree is famously known as the seafood capital of Alabama
because of a shrimping industry. Today's event was also a
chance to honor and support our local American shrimpers. Reporting
live in studio, Claudia Nichols, Fox ten News, fair.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Enough, fair enough, Yes, I had such a good time.
I was so impressed down because I hadn't been to
Biola Battery years. Last time I went to bi elemantry,
I think was to see some wrastling, and I enjoyed it,
but I can't it was so beautiful down there, so serene.
I kept thinking to myself, I wonder when a bunch
of out of towners are going to start moving in
(15:14):
here and in ruining it, because that's what happens when
you have a really nice place in Alabama. Out of
towners they come down there and they find out about it,
then they want to move in in great numbers and
destroy it all right. Well, anyway, out of time for
this edition of the Uncle Henry Show, thank you so
much for listening. As they say in Saarland, have a
(15:34):
good one, and as they say in Theodore, take it easy,
all right.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
It's in a very special time in a year for
us all down here. We always have good crowd here,
good deep on good food.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Look, I'm sorry to interrupt again. I love the people.
This is real life. These are real people. I wish
that all of the callers to the Uncle Henry Show
had voices like this. No offense to all the regular callers.
But I wish that guy, whoever they didn't identify him
in the report, I wish he'd call and leave me
some voicemails and stuff, because I love his speaking.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Boys.
Speaker 5 (13:33):

Did we used to? I used to come here with
my parents and we would cook clean fish, ball shrimp.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
My dad and I cook the gumbo for about twenty
years here.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And hey, if you wondered how to become mayor down there,
it probably helps. If you cook the gumbo for about
twenty years, probably helps, Probably does.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Cooke the gumbo for about twenty years here.
Speaker 7 (14:23):

Tree is famously known as the seafood capital of Alabama
because of a shrimping industry. Today's event was also a
chance to honor and support our local American shrimpers. Reporting
live in studio, Claudia Nichols, Fox ten News, fair.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Enough, fair enough, Yes, I had such a good time.
I was so impressed down because I hadn't been to
Biola Battery years. Last time I went to bi elemantry,
I think was to see some wrastling, and I enjoyed it,
but I can't it was so beautiful down there, so serene.
I kept thinking to myself, I wonder when a bunch
of out of towners are going to start moving in
(15:14):
here and in ruining it, because that's what happens when
you have a really nice place in Alabama. Out of
towners they come down there and they find out about it,
then they want to move in in great numbers and
destroy it all right. Well, anyway, out of time for
this edition of the Uncle Henry Show, thank you so
much for listening. As they say in Saarland, have a
(15:34):
good one, and as they say in Theodore, take it easy,
all right.
