Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Show weekday afternoons from five till seven.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Mister President, everything is right in the world because mcgilt
and beat Murphy on Friday and the Canon is orange.
So I can't ask for anything better in the city.
I mean, I went to the game. I had a
great time to doing some old friends and seeing people
that hadn't seen in a while. I can't tell you
the kids that were at the Canon, thank God, and
hopefully they didn't get arrested or in charge or didn't

(00:28):
get any warnings. But everything's right in the city of
Mobile as of Friday. Thank you, miss President.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
It says the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you for listening to the Uncle
Henry Show. I appreciate it very very much.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
I do.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Once again, here we are together, me and you trying
to figure out what is going on, what is.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Going on.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
In the world around us, What is going on, what's
going on in all these city halls across the country,
what's going on in these state legislatures, what's going on
in Washington, d C. With all these do nothing politicians,
and what is going on in Tuscaloosa, what's going on
in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. That is a topic that we'll be

(02:08):
brought up on today's Uncle Henry Show. Now, today there
was a Mobile City council meeting. I'll get to that.
I'll share a little bit of that with you because
we had the fun of it. I think one of
the city council members suggested the city should look into
annexing Big Creek Lake because of all the fighting over
the who can fish on the lake? Yes, yes, one

(02:30):
of the city council members brought this up. So we'll
get into that. All you Big Creek Lake folk that
love Big Creek Lake to you love to fish in
it and recreate in it, bathe in at whatever you're
doing out there. One of the council members today talked
about how maybe maybe Mobile should look into annex and
that lake out there. So we'll get into all that

(02:53):
as the Uncle Henry Show moves forward here on news
Radio seven to ten WNT. But Alabama football, Alabama football, Yes,
I've received voicemails about the Alabama, the terrible performance Alabama
Crimson Tit's terrible performance with a Florida State game. Now,

(03:14):
I'm a fan and I will be to the day
I die. Until the day I die. I will be
an Alabama fan. But that doesn't mean that I have
to like it when the team goes out and does
something like what they did with Florida State. It doesn't
mean I have to like it. Doesn't mean to have

(03:35):
to have rainbows and sunshine and all that kind of
stuff blowing around me when there's when there's a problem
like that, there's no Why should I walk around acting
like that. There's no problem here. Just roll tide roll,
Let's hope for the best road tide roll, Let's hope
for the best. No, I will not be that fan.

(03:56):
I'm not go look this. Let me give you an
example something that really upset me today. I was with
some wonderful Alabama fans today and we're talking about the game,
and one of these wonderful people says to me, they say, well,
I'm glad we lost. I'd rather lose at the beginning

(04:18):
of the season than later. I'm glad. I'm glad we're
losing now instead of it the instead of November. Are
you kidding me? Are we now at a point as
Alabama fans that we're gonna figure out when we are
we gonna have preferences on when we want to lose.
Is that where we are now under this new coach,

(04:39):
that now we're gonna sit around, So well, if we're
gonna lose, when would be the best time to lose. No,
I'm not gonna sit around. I'm not gonna sit around
and think about, oh, well, well I'm glad we lost
now instead of this other weekend. No, I'm never gonna
be glad we lost. All right. Listener, I apologize, I'm

(05:01):
about to lose my mind talking about this. Let me
instead go to voicemail messages from people that are a
little more composed than I am. Let me first go
to sixty eight year old Chris of West Locksley, one
of our top Alabama fans and experts for the program.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Little tie Uh, they'll Luchael. Not a whole lot of
Feller can say after that, A disturbing trend has continued
from last year into this year. Yes, and I don't
know what, if anything, should be done to fix it.

(05:37):
Just have to be patient and try and not draw
any conclusions. They say, one game does not a season make,
but looking like a whole lot is gonna have to change.
But still riding with the tide.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
All right, well, sixty eight year old Chris. Yeah, and
I'm sorry, I think I I accidentally cut him off
before he said.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Looking like a whole lot's gonna have to change, but
still riding with the tide roll tide row, mister row
tad Row.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yes, that is an appropriate response to such a terrible
effort as we were subjected to, Saritay. Let me go
to another caller, longtime caller Buford.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
I believe, well, Henry looks like we're back in the
Mike Schuler years. Look at here, he's fell up. Alabama
fans need to realize something. Next, Saban was a once
in a lifetime deal. And only reason he went to
Alabama is not because he was a Bama fan at all,

(06:41):
is because they paid him the most money. Next, Saban
would have coasted Auburn if Auburn would have gave him
the same deal.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Why are you doing this?

Speaker 5 (06:50):
I mean that first thing first? Why businessman first?

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah? But why are you saying this?

Speaker 5 (06:56):
He coached any college in Alabama?

Speaker 1 (06:59):
What does that have to do with him?

Speaker 5 (07:01):
Because they paid him the move, what does that have
to do with this? Savan ain't no dag gum Alabama
you know, second coming of the Good Lord. Stop it.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
He don't.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
He don't believe. Why are you doing this, Crimson and White?
Why are you doing this where the money was? Stop
Now we start calling the fire every dagum coach it
ain't performing like Nick Saban, We're gonna have a hard
hard time because it's gonna be a hard press to
find a coast to go to Alabama. What just need

(07:36):
to realize we uh, we had ourselves quite a dynasty
and that only comes around every thousand years or so.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Right, I believe that.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Anyway, Henry, just by two cents?

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well what look, don't ever hey when Alabama, if Alabama
turns in another performance like that, please don't phone in
a message where you're explaining that Nick Saban's not as
good as I think he is because I lived through
it and I know he is. All right, Look, no,
we don't. We don't want to fire every coach. We're
never going to find a Nick Saban. How about we

(08:10):
find a coach that has UH that acts like they
give a flip? Would that be nice if they would
show up at the press conference and at least pretend
to be mad. It just just show up and don't
act like Charlie Brown from a Peanuts special. Well, I
watched the press conference yesterday and I thought, it's Where's Snoopy?

(08:35):
That's what I thought. I thought, Well, this guy's acting
like Charlie Brown. Where Snoopy?

Speaker 7 (08:39):
Dad?

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Goum it is there?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
A coach in the building went back after the break,

Speaker 6 (10:57):
I am on a radio station now, yeah, well, THIRSD
I need to go.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
To and see.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Do you know what AM radio is? Go to seven
ten am?

Speaker 7 (11:15):
Yeah, Okay, how you doing?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
I'm doing wonderful, sir. I'm gonna I'm gonna leave you
to whatever it is you're doing. In fact, you know, ordinarily,
if it weren't a day like today, I would love
to have you on the entire hour and just talk
to you the entire hour. But I'm gonna I'm gonna
move on to other callers. But God bless you, thank
you for listening or trying to learn what you've called.

(11:41):
And then he hung up two five, one, four, seven ninths.
See this is how the Uncle Henry Show gets new
listeners as people accidentally call and then I tell him, Hey,
have you heard of AM radio? And then you're here.
We have a beautiful relationship. And in a couple of years,
this guy'll be calling in and he'll have a he'll
have a name. We'll call him the Honker or something

(12:02):
like that. Two five to one four seven nine two
seven two three the telephone number. Hello caller. Hey, cd JD,
you are live on the radio.

Speaker 11 (12:13):
I'm going to tell you what I think about what
happened with this Kaitlyn to Bor thing. All right, you know,
Saban unexpectedly retired. Nobody expected. Everybody was shocked when Saban
said he was going to retire, and so it left
the university in a real pickle like, Okay, what are
we going to do? Who are we going to hire
to replace this legendary coach? Right yep? And so they

(12:36):
go out and they start interviewing coaches. I don't know
if you remember, but they were talking to Dan Lanning
from Oregon from them, and they had a couple others.
And when they brought in Kaylen to Boor, he came
from Washington where he had just went to the National
Championship game with Michael Pennix. And if you remember Washington
in that year. They didn't play defense. They had to

(12:57):
score forty to fifty points the game just to stay
in the game. And so when they first brought him in,
I thought, wait a minute, why would a SEC team
bring in a coach from out west that doesn't know
anything about defense?

Speaker 8 (13:13):
Right?

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Right?

Speaker 11 (13:14):
So I thought, okay, well, maybe Alabama will be.

Speaker 12 (13:16):
Good on offense. But the problem was is.

Speaker 11 (13:19):
He was using Sabans players, players that Saban recruited, trying
to teach them his West Coast offense. And I don't
know if you remember, they rolled out the red carpet
for this guy. Yeah, they had a big press conference.
Saban was at the press conference. I mean they told
this guy, you've got full control. He went into Saban's

(13:40):
office and he redecorated it. I don't know if you've
seen a picture. It looks just like a Verizon story.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yes I did. I thought it was. When I saw it,
I thought it was a joke someone had put online.

Speaker 11 (13:53):
He's completely changed the culture at Alabama. He doesn't discipline
his players. He lets people goof off at practice. I
read a story on a one of these Alabama sites
that if a player shows up late for a meeting,
he just tells them, hey, just get here when.

Speaker 12 (14:09):
You can type of thing like it's like no big deal,
you know, so it But the biggest thing unky you
were talking earlier in the show about a coach that
actually cares, that comes out and beats the podium.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
Well, let me ask you this question.

Speaker 11 (14:24):
If you were working for a company and you knew that,
you know, it's not really going that well, but if
they fire me, they got to pay me sixty three
million dollars, do you care? Do you do you care?

Speaker 1 (14:41):
I see exactly what you're saying. You would only care
for your own reputation. That is all you would care about.

Speaker 11 (14:48):
I mean, you can get a job so easy at
someplace like Vanderbilt or Eastern Illinois or one of those
schools like that. Calyn de Boro will be fine, He'll
usually find another job. But I mean, yeah, he's got
a sixty three million dollars by out. Caitlyn Devor doesn't
care one bit about what happens. And you know, I
think that Alabama will beat Louisiana, Monroe, they'll beat Wisconsin,

(15:11):
but God help us when we go play Georgia. I mean,
Georgia has got to be just so excited. To have
us come to town, especially after what happened to them last
year when they got embarrassed in Tuscaloosave. But anyway, that's
all I had to say, Uncle Henry. I'm disgusted like
everybody else. I think we're stuck with this guy. I
don't think Savan's coming back, but I think that if

(15:33):
he loses to Vanderbilt again this year, he drops one
of these games, like you know that you're not supposed
to lose. I don't think that they're gonna have any
choice but to buy him out.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
All right, j D, thank you very much for your
fine I appreciate very much your analysis. Roll Rolltide. There,
he goes JD. You five one four seven nine seven
two three. Let me shaven squeeze this message in before
we go to our news break here at the bottom
of the hour. And yes, I will be getting to
the city council meeting after the bottom of the hour.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
Hey over, Henry Snake taffer Man, that Primpson Tide look rub,
Uncle Henry. They look like a bunch of all sixty
eight year old Chris Rogers out there chasing around a.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Free fried chicken dinner.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
Hey you, rub, uncle Henry I think you got me
on making a statement, you know, saying that Alabama was.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
Gonna have a hard time winning in this system.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
Oh man, I don't know what they gotta do, Uncle Henry,
But I mean Florida State was unranked. We were a
fourteen and a half point favorite over them. Oh man,
maybe they need to get that fried chicken out their
mind and get back to concentrating on football. You have
a good day, my friend. Maybe they'll get better.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Maybe they'll get better. All right, Thank you, Snake Tramper
and Snake Trapper making reference to sixty eight year old
Chris of West Lucksley going and getting the free frined
chicken dinners at his church every month. I don't know
that Chris has to chase it. I don't know that
he has to chase the way that Alabama players, we

(17:15):
wish would chase the opponents like coming up. Got some
news headlines from Fox and from Fox ten today's Mobile
City council meeting. We'll get to a little bit of that,
all of that and more as we move forward here
on News Radio seventy ten wntm's Uncle Henry's Show. This

(17:57):
is the Uncle Henry Show here on news radio seventeen
WNTM and on YouTube. You can watch the Uncle Henry
show on YouTube. Just look for Uncle Henry's show on YouTube.
Today was Amobile City council meeting. I told you i'd
bring you some stuff from the council meeting. But first
I've got a caller. Hello, caller, what's going on?

Speaker 7 (18:18):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Hello to you? You well, I'm hosting a live radio show.
What's going on with you?

Speaker 7 (18:25):
Oh? This is Norm out in West Mobile. This is
the guy that keeps calling you about the potholes on
Brookdale Drive.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Brookdale Drive, Yes, have you made it over there yet?

Speaker 1 (18:37):
I haven't made it over there yet, but I am
going to have a picture made in the thirty six
by I think I played your message last week. The
giant poddle. I am going to step in it.

Speaker 7 (18:48):
Guess what what?

Speaker 1 (18:49):
They filled them?

Speaker 7 (18:53):
So I work on Brookdale Drive North. There's thirty two
potholes on that little short street. Okay, no less than
thirty two. There's none on Brookdale Drive West, which is
another you know that's a U shaped street.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yes, and I was.

Speaker 7 (19:17):
Just listening to Beauford from last week about him running
from mayor on the pothole campaign. I'd I'd be his
campaign manager in a New York minute, and that ain't
but twenty seconds long. But here's the funny thing. Last week,

(19:38):
probably Friday, the city came out and filled eight potholes
on Brookdale Drive South, including the thirty six inch wide one.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh it's they filled the giant one.

Speaker 7 (19:59):
They filled the one that you could have put a
tire in. Okay, but they didn't do the rest of them.
There's still more on the street.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Well, you know, they may have known I was going
to come look, and they don't want me to be disappointed.

Speaker 7 (20:17):
I mean, god, they came down to a driveway at
Brand Scaffolding and stopped and never went any further.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 7 (20:30):
I guess somebody at Brand must have paid them off
or something. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Well, at least you're you're seeing some progress. Maybe maybe
in the next ten years you get a smooth road
out there.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
Well, according to UH counselman Penn, we're supposed to have
all of this whole entire U shaped street UH repaved
this year.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Oh congratulations, yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:04):
Well, anyways, I just thought I would humor you with
the hot news.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Well think you actually you did. I'm glad you told
me about that.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
Yeah. I love listening to you. I love watching you.
Been listening to you for at least thirty years, even
when you were doing your shows down at Comcast. Used
to go go watch your shows.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Wow, okay, that's okay, that is that is the old school. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
Just turned sixty nine last week, still in good health.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Well, congratulations on that.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
And me and the grandkids are heading up to Tea
Town on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Oh well, I know you'll have a good time.

Speaker 7 (21:46):
Yeah, hopefully hope he will pull one out.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Huh yeah, well maybe it'll put it and give you
some suspense before they have their victory.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
All right, you have a great one and roll timee roll.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Tide, sir. Thank you very much for your phone called
the potholes. So I guess I need to go do
a new count and see exactly how many get filled
on that particular street. So Uncle Henry show today the
Mobile City Council meeting. The last thing I expected to
pop up was the Big Creek Lake fight, which has

(22:19):
been going on. People being told they can't fish on
the lake. People are trying to find a compromise on
how people can still fish on the lake, and two
city council members spoke out about this, one of them
even suggesting that the city ought to look into Nix
and that area out there. Both of the city council

(22:41):
people that decided to speak out on this are both leaving.
Neither one of them will be on the council when
they have the new council. So here is Joel Daves,
of all people, Joel Daves telling us that these people,
people that are trying to fish on Big Creek Lake,

(23:02):
you need to be careful of the politicians that are
lined up with them.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh, I didn't expect to hear that.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I am as president. The City Council Finance Committee will
meet this afternoon at one o'clock in the ninth four
Conference room of the City Council.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
This oh, he goes. He's telling us that they're going
to have public comment on the budget next week, and
then the following week they're going to be voting on
the budget. The Mobile City Council will vote on the
budget in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
In case you're interested, taken next week at this meeting
at the public hearing that we just called on, it'll
be again next tuesday at this meeting. Anyone who has
any comments about the proposed budget is welcome to make
them at that time. All right, The intention of the
City Council is to vote on the budget two weeks
from today on September sixteenth, in order to complete our

(23:52):
job by the mandatorial.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
It's going to get Now to the Big Creek Lake issue.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
September twentieth, Mister President, I would like to comment on
I'd like to speak to the citizens of the City
of Mobile with respect to this controversy that's going on
with respect to private boating use at Big Creek Lake.
This city is really very, very fortunate in that we

(24:21):
have a fabulous water reservoir for us up at Big
Creek Late.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
It is fabulous.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Our serves about not only is citizens of Mobile, but
about three hundred and fifty thousand people altogether now water,
at least in the City of Mobile. It's pretty much attacks.
In other words, you have to drink water, and you
have to get it from mass unless you sink a
well in your backyard. Yes, so what we're all interested in,

(24:51):
what we should all be interested in, is having the
finest possible drinking water at the lowest possible price. Yes, Now,
there are some folks out in the western part of
town who claim that they have the absolute, inalienable right
to boat on Big Creek Lake MAS, the Mobile Area
Water and Sewer System, which operates our water system, has

(25:14):
forbidden that for the time being because of the fact
that these boats bring in are likely to bring in
invasive species into the lake that provides our drinking water. Yes,
and if that happens on a large scale, it's going
to cost a lot of money from MAS to clean

(25:34):
out the invasive species.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yea hundreds of.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Thousands of dollars a year. And there's only one I mean,
there's only one group of people who are going to
pay that cost. That's the people who draw their drinking
water from MASS. So what I want to say to
the people of Mobile is you need to keep your
eye on this issue and not forget about it. Because
we got a small people, a small group of people

(25:59):
out in the west eastern part of the city and
county who want to get on the lake. MAS has
put a temporary pause on that, and I think they're
working on a solution that will allow voting on the
lake without imperiling the quality of the water. But again,
to the people on Obile, keep your eye on this

(26:21):
because it could affect how much if not attended to.
There's some politicians who are behind this idea that Maas
doesn't have any right to control use of the lake.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
There are politicians that are that are involved. Listen to
what he says.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
But I'll tell you this, If these invasive species continue
to be introduced to the lake and it ends up
costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, the people that want
to vote on it, and the politicians that are supportive
of it, they're not going to be anywhere to be found.
We're going to be picking up the tab. Thank you,

(27:00):
mister Preston.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
All right, So Joel Daves, Joel Daves talking about the
politicians that have been pushing that issue, how that issue
could cost you money if the invasive species get in there, it'll,
he says, it'll cost you more to drink the water.
That'll be on those voters. Now, when we come back

(27:23):
from the break, I'll briefly share with you what another
councilman said about how the city ought to look at
annexing that aria. It says the Uncle Henry Show here

(27:53):
on News Radio seventy ten WNTM. You can also hear
me on FM radio. I'm on ninety five ks J

So today's Mobile City Council meeting, the Big Creek Lake
thing was brought up by Joel Daves telling mobilions to

(28:56):
keep your eye on it because he says those people
out there out west that want to get on that
lake and fish. They could end up costing you more
money for your water. They get invasive species in there.
And after he said that William Carroll, Mobile City Councilman,
William Carroll, who lost in the recent election, he will

(29:19):
be replaced by someone else, he chimed in on it,
talking about the possibility of annexing that land out there.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
I didn't expect to hear that today, but I wholeheartily agree.
There is no other municipality around that has the resources
to clean up the lake if something goes wrong. I
think that's what he's trying to tell you, that the
citizens of Mobile are going to be the ones who
carry the burden if we have to clean up the lake.

(29:50):
I can really say what I want to say now
if it needs be, the City of Mobile needs to
annex all the way out and take that lake, and
we need to be responsible for it, because it seems
like nobody else truly really wants to be responsible for
it in a matter that needs to be taken care of.
So at some point this city's gonna have to make
a decision on what happens out there, no matter what.

(30:11):
And it can't be that people take it as an
emotional decision. I'm gonna have to take the emotions and
the politics out of it because the drinking water is
more important than anything else.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
All right, So William Carroll, they're talking about the city
needing to look at annexing that area out there, all right. Well,
I did not expect a gasoline to be put on
that fire today. Of all the other things that could
be talked about at the Mobile City Council meeting, I
did not expect. I did not expect Big Creek Lake,

(30:42):
the fighting over that to have gaspoored on it. But
there you had a little bit. Joel Dave's not as gassy.
But William Carroll, you heard him say, now I can
say what I want. Maybe, uh, maybe I should invite
him in and ask him to say all the things
that he's wanted to say, and he hasn't felt like

(31:03):
he could because maybe there's more. R Let's see before
I'm out of time real quick. I continue to get
instead of people calling this show live, I continue to
get messages phoned in during the Uncle Henry show. In fact,
here is a message from Pat Nelly phoned in while

(31:24):
the show is going on.

Speaker 9 (31:27):
Hey, Aun Pat Nelly, I hope you haven't a great afternoon. Yes, hey, listen. Sorry,
I'm calling your voicemail during the show instead of calling live.
But I wanted to collect my thoughts. I wasn't gonna call,
so told myself I'm not gonna call. But anyway, it's
a lot more depressing than what we saw on Saturday.

(31:49):
Let me give you a couple of stats. Do you
know we have only lost excuse me, we have only
one five of our last ten games, and we're only
one in three in our last four. That's horrible. This
this didn't happen on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (32:09):
I've got a chat friend or a Facebook friend that
we send YouTube videos back and forth. I'm not gonna
mention his name, but he does like fried Chicken dinners
on Sunday afternoon. But anyway, towards the end of the last season,
I just stopped really enjoying them videos, and I just said,

(32:31):
let's stop talking. Let's see it on the field. Well,
I've seen enough of this stuff on the field. This
man is not an SEC coach. He needs to be
chewing some bleep. Anyway, sixty one years is a bammer.
I'll always be a Bammer. Yeah, live through the Mike years.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yes, Roll Tide, Row Tied Roe, Pat and Nelly. Thank
you very much for your phone call. Yeah. During after
they Alabama game, I started, I started remembering I did.
I remembered the wandering in the wilderness years between Coach

(33:12):
Bryant and Coach Stallings, there were years of wandering in
the wilderness, and then after Stallings there were more years
of wandering in the wilderness. From Gene Stallings to Nick
Saban there was some year. There were years of wandering
around out there in that wilderness. So it just made

(33:35):
me wonder how long will Bama fans have to wander
in the wilderness? Will it be a few seasons? I
have to remind myself I lived. I was so blessed
to live to witness Bryant, Stallings and Saban. This is

(34:24):
the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio seventy ten WNTM.
Thank you. I appreciate very much you listening to the
Uncle Henry Show. Now this half hour of show, I'm
going to get to some voicemail and if I have time,

(34:44):
I'm going to get to a news item or two.
We'll find out together as we go through this half
hour of Uncle Henry's show, let me start with some voicemail.
The voicemail number if you'd like to leave a mail
message for the Uncle Henry Show is two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six. That is two five

(35:06):
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. By the way,
that is a new number. If you've been calling the
old voicemail number that I had for years, I have
an I don't think i've checked that number this year.
So if you've been leaving me messages with the old number,

(35:26):
I don't know if anybody's hearing them. If you want
me to hear the message two five one two one
six nineteen seventy six. That's two five to one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. Here is a message that
is that is related to the Mobile municipal election. This
was phoned in by long time caller Beauford.

Speaker 5 (35:47):
Hand of this. Here is handed this messages for Prime
and for Connie Hutson. Y'all need to come pick up
the trash off the side of the roads mobile. I
see less Prime signs. I do believe he is picking
up his campaign signs. But Buddy Connie Husson's got her

(36:08):
garbage all over the place. That is a true sign
of a true politician.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Right now, Wait now, wait a minute. I know you're
going to be critical. I can tell by the tone
I could. I've learned to pick these things up through
the years. I know you're going to be critical. But
think now, think about it. There were a lot of
signs out there, Beauford. She did not win or even
come in third place, but a lot of people like her,

(36:38):
many thousands voted for and to her credit, a lot
of them wanted signs. They're they're all there. I have
to admit they are still all over my neighborhood. But
it's only been a week, Beaufford, it's only been a week.

Speaker 5 (36:54):
A true professional, lifetime daggum politician gonna leave their dad
gum election trash all over the side of the roads
and mobile I cannot stand how these politicians like Connie
Hudson leave their daggum signs everywhere after the election. And

(37:15):
I don't know who this dice lady is.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Dice did you say Dias the dis lady.

Speaker 5 (37:22):
She's a daggum crazy person. She's got handwritten crazy signs
downtown mobil. I mean I would like to I would
like to request that the litter patrol or the mobile
Police department, whoever it is that writes littering tickets. If

(37:44):
this dice lady don't get her trash off the side
of the road, they need to start putting her in
jail right her tickets. Now. They won't do that to
Connie Hudson Henry because there's two cyts of laws, one
for them and one for us.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
It's only been a week.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
So anyway, if you lost your election, or if you
won your election and you ain't in a runoff, take
up your dawn im garbage. Thank you, Hanter, you have
a good.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Day, Beautifred. Thank you very much for your phone call.
It's look, it's only been a week. Come on, it's
been a week. Beauford. And when candidates. When a candidate loses,
it is similar to when a football team loses. The
fans of the candidate and the fans of the football
team their their tea level drops a little bit. Now,

(38:37):
this has been scientifically proven. I'm not just making this up.
This has been scientifically studied. If you closely identify with
a sports team and your sports team loses then that
does affect your tea level. Same thing has been has
been studied and found in politics. And so the candidates

(38:58):
that lost many of their fans have had their tea
levels depressed, just just slightly. They may not have the
energy level that they need to go out and pick
up the signs, but do you forgive them time? Just
let's just be patient and kind to each other here.
In fact, I've got kind of an opposite view, Buford.
One of my favorite things to do. This happens a

(39:19):
lot in rural Baldwin County. I don't know if it
happens in rural Mobile County, but you can go into
rural Baldwin County and find signs from elections like eight
years ago, twelve years ago. It's fun. It is. It's
fun for me to go out and see, you know,
like Governor Bentley signs up in the woods, but they're
up there. Have to look for them, but they're out there.

(39:44):
So I kind of I kind of enjoy it when
if the election is like six months ago and then
there's a maybe see a Prime or a Connie Hudson
sign out there. But anyway, Bufford, thank you for your
voicemail voice. My number two five one two one six
nineteen seventy six two one six nineteen seventy six. Let
me check another voice mail. Let me go to sixty

(40:06):
eight year old Chris of West Locksley broad Road.

Speaker 6 (40:10):
Rule.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
I adhere to the Nick Saban twenty four hour rule.
It's on to the next one. Now, let's go beat
you at University of Louisiana Monroe this Saturday night at
six forty five pm.

Speaker 11 (40:24):
I realize that's.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
Gonna be a late hour for you. So hopefully Alabama
can get up about fifty to nothing by halftime, and
then you'll you'll be able to go on to bed,
so you'll be able to get up and go to
church Sunday morning. Also good news today. I'm sure you're
probably aware of it. But now, but in case you're not,
President Trump, moving the rocket program, if you will, Space program,

(40:52):
that's the word where it belongs in the rocket city, Huntsville, Alabama, USA.
Katy Britt amongst others, Senator Katie Britt amongst others on
hand to speak of and talk about all the jobs
that it's going to provide, et cetera. Good times, Brett,

(41:16):
good times.

Speaker 9 (41:18):
Hey, we just make.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Mister chump el President Day for life. The Dems that
love that, wouldn't they?

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Sixty year old Chris, thank you, Yes, an upbeat message.
Thank you for your upbeat message. You're correct now you
mentioned you started your message mentioning the Alabama game Alabama
versus University of Louisiana Monroe, Saturday night, six forty five pm. Yeah,
I don't like kickoffs at six forty five pm, but
that's better than an eight o'clock kickoff. No SEC team

(41:54):
should ever kick off after seven pm. That needs to
somebody needs to figure out how to put that into law.
Just go ahead and put that into law somewhere so
that SEC teams are not kicking off in the middle
of the night, especially for people my age that have
that have bought the merchandise and all that kind of
stuff for a lifetime, and then you end up playing

(42:14):
the game when we can't stay awake. So thank you
for mentioning that. And yes, the Space Command being moved
back to Huntsville or being moved to Huntsville from Colorado. Yes,
indeed that will be wonderful. Glad for Alabama to get it.

(42:35):
Why not colo Colorado they got They just need to
continue doing what they're doing out there, growing and selling
marijuana and dealing with the consequences. All right, back with
more after the break. There's more Uncle Henry's show coming
up after the break. Let's go ahead and take the
dad gum break. This is the Uncle Henry Show here

(43:20):
on News Radio seventy ten WNTM. News headlines coming up
in ten minutes. Before we get to the news headlines,
I'm gonna get to some voicemail, maybe a news item.
Voicemail number two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six.
That's two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six.

(43:44):
I've got another voicemail about the Mobile municipal election, some
analysis being offered to us once again from longtime caller Buford.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
To send me a little surprised at Connie Hudson that came.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
In dead last, And I'm let me pause there just
to say that back when the the field was announced
of the people running for office, at a couple a
couple of people called in and predicted that Connie Hudson
would not do well, and Buford was one of them.
In l D the mad Trucker recently retired was another one,

(44:25):
and I no one else ever voiced that opinion to me,
and I knew. I just happened to know a lot
of very enthusiastic Connie Hudson supporters. So I was one
of the people surprised at Connie Hudson coming in fourth place.
I was, I was surprised. So Buford, Uh, give me
your analysis. What did I miss? What was I not

(44:48):
knowing that you and L D knew?

Speaker 5 (44:52):
Hannah, here's my here's my analysis of this. Since there's
been several days have passed since the election, Harry, all
the county workers were those that could and live in
the city at Mobile. We're voting Connie Hudson, trying to
get their friends and families, so Connie Hudson to get

(45:15):
rid of her, to get her off the county commission,
because most county workers hate her. I don't blame them.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
But right now, see here's some I'd never heard this. Now.
She's been around a lot, not that I hear everything,
but she's been around a long time, so have I
and I have never I've never had anybody mention anything
negative offhand to me until now about all this. So
this is news to me. Beauford, all right, please continue,

(45:47):
Henry all.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
The city workers, we're voting for anybody but Connie Hudson
because they didn't want her in the mayor's office. It
just comes down in numbers, and there's just a lot
more city workers than there are county workers. Looks like
the county workers are still stuck with County Hudson until

(46:09):
they can hopefully somebody runs a dinner and takes her
county commission seat.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Way, she's won every time she's run for that, she's
won it. Do know county workers live in that district.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
But anyway, Henry, it was a vote of hatredness, and
you get right down to it, there's just a lot
more city workers that hate County Hudson and did not
want her in the mayor's office than there were county
workers that hate County Hudson and want her off the

(46:45):
county commissioner to answer off to the city. Anyway, I'm
glad I just came in dead last. Either way, she
needed a good reality check on that arrogant, arrogant personality
of hers. Anyway, Henry, you have a good all.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Right, Buford, Well, you're you're bringing a new world to me,
because again I've not heard this, and as I mentioned,
to you. I know a lot of people that just
think she hung the moon and really like her. So
this is news. You've provided news to me. You also
mentioned the word hatredness, which I didn't realize was a
word until I think one of the other callers, uh

(47:26):
brought the word up years ago on the Uncle Henry's Show,
the word hatredness.

Speaker 10 (47:32):
But I'm just calling you that quick. It ain't gonna
take but a minute. We got to stop all of
this hatredness. We got to get these callers that love
each other for back in white. Yes, our days is
getting shot and shorten.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Yes, deleted.

Speaker 6 (47:56):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
So the hatredness, it's not good patroness, it isn't it's
not goods. Nobody really wants hatredness to be a part
of it. I don't like it being a part of
an election.

Speaker 10 (48:11):
I really don't patredness.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
All right, Well, learn something new every day, all right?
Voicemail number two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six.
That's two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six,
to leave a message for the Uncle Henry Show. Maybe
you've maybe you can educate me on something. Maybe you've
heard something that I've never heard and you can tell
me about it. All right, let me see if I've

(48:36):
got time for one quick story for you. Here's a
story from Fox. This has to do with the most
stolen car or most stolen cars in the United States
of America. Let's listen to Jeff Monasso of Fox News
telling us what cars are most stolen.

Speaker 13 (48:55):
There's a new most frequently stolen car in the US,
the Chevy Camaro, from the latest rankings from the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety and the Highway Loss Data Institute
that shows theft claim frequency for Chevy Camaros jumped significantly
in twenty twenty three and continued to climb last year.
Muscle cars and cars with higher horsepower often frequent targets

(49:17):
for car theft automakers in recent.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Okay, so you don't want to you don't want to
steal a car you're embarrassed to drive? Is that end?
All right? Well, I guess I need to go find
a car that's just a little more embarrassing to protect myself.
All right, out of time, Thank you for listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. As they say in sarah Land,
have a good one. As they say in Theodore Take

(49:43):
It easy, all right later
