We're not gonna take it anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It says The Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seven ten w n T E M. Thank you so much,
appreciate very much you listening to The Uncle Henry Show.
I really do. Once again, here we are together, just
me and you, trying so hard to figure out what
(01:14):
is going on, what is going on in the world
around us, What's happened to people these days? What is
seriously what is wrong with people these days? I'm always
wondering have people always been like this and we just
didn't realize it? Or have people gotten worser and worser
(01:40):
as time is going on. I just can never arrive
at an answer to this now. Of course, yeah, there's
things to talk about. I'll get to all these different things,
different news items and things to get to here on
the Uncle Inverary Show. But I'm really I'm really trying
to figure out are have people always been like this?
Have people always been like this and we just didn't
We didn't realize it because we didn't have the Internet
(02:00):
and we didn't have all these smartphones, and people weren't
recording everything they did twenty four hours a day and
then putting showing us what they're having for dinner, Look
at what I had for dinner, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Do we just.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Have we always been like this? Or has the technology
strangely handicapped our minds and made us dumber and worser.
I don't know. I'm still trying to figure it out,
but I just get the feeling that that instead of
us getting better with all the new technology, all of
(02:35):
the great knowledge at our fingertips, instead of us all
getting better, a bunch of us are somehow getting worse,
somehow getting dumber or more violent. I saw a story
today about a new social media challenge. Now you've heard
of all these social media challenges. Years ago, we had
people eating detergent. You remember the tide pods where people
(02:56):
were eating they were eating detergent on the internet. And
then recently one of the recent social media challenges was
some kind of door kicking challenge. I've told you about
that one where in some parts of the country, teenagers
were running up to people's front doors and beating it,
(03:18):
kicking the doors and beating on the doors, trying to
frighten the homeowner and get it all on get it
all on video. Just increasingly stupid. Today, there's yet another
one that I found out about. Listen to this. Authorities
are issuing a warning in Pennsylvania about a new social
(03:41):
media challenge that is the hot water Challenge. And it's
as dumb as it sounds. It's as stupid as it sounds.
It's young people are getting water boy and hot and
(04:01):
then they're pouring it on other people, and of course
getting it on video, because what's more exciting and fun
and viral than burning someone and having the video evidence
that you can show all your friends, show all your
friends on social media. There was a child in Pennsylvania
severely burned by his older brother who boiled water in
(04:24):
a microwave and then poured it on the child while
it was asleep, to participate in the hot water challenge.
So authorities, it's see, it's when when we have to
involve the authorities to tell us not to do stupid
things like this, imagine try to imagine that would this
(04:47):
ever fit in at any other time in human history
that you had to warn people not to pour boiling
water on each other because it might hurt them. Was
there is there any other time in human history we'd
need to warn each other, Hey, be careful if you
dump boiling water on somebody, they might get hurt. I
(05:08):
just keep wondering, are we getting dumber? Are we dumber now?
Or have we always been like this? And there's just way,
there's just evidence now because we're all video and everything
all the time. This is kind of an example. This
kind of ties into this. I saw a story today
(05:30):
about the young adults in China. They have social media,
believe it or not, in China, and the young adults
in China are very stressed out. I guess it's very
stressful living under communism, and so they've got a new
(05:52):
way of relieving stress. The young adults in China. Their
new way of relieving stress is using adult pacifiers. That yes,
these are adults in their twenties. They're so stressed out
(06:13):
that they think that the best way to relieve their
anxiety is to suck on a pacifier. And let's see,
I saw the news article here. Let me look here
with all these different pictures they have created, all these beautiful,
elaborate adult pacifiers and they're telling each other. They have
their own influencers out there saying, hey, this really works,
(06:37):
this really works. You need to try it. It really works.
If you just suck on this thing, it'll help you
calm down. It'll help calm down. You can sleep better
at night. All you got to do is suck on
this adult pacifier. I mean, is this come on? If
people or have people always been like this? Are we
(07:01):
somehow the technology gets better and the people get dumber,
We're gonna need AI, aren't we. We're gonna need artificial
intelligence because these people, these are these people are in
their early twenties and there they've discovered pacifiers and thinks
sucking on one is just great stress relief. These people
(07:23):
are going to end up being my age one day.
Or how are they gonna function if they don't have
artificial intelligence to tell them what to do? How are
they gonna function. We're already at a point where we're
gonna need cars to drive themselves because people can't. They
can't go two blocks without without you know, answering a
(07:47):
text or posting something on Facebook. We're gonna need that.
We're going to We've created technology that's making us dumber,
and then we're gonna need the technology. I just hope
they perfect that in time, because these people, they don't
have many years left. I don't think before they're not
going to be able to take care of themselves. What's
the next trend? Is it's going to be diapers for
(08:10):
the healthy? Is that going to be it? The next trend?
Now that they've got pacifiers, are they gonna have adult
diapers for people that don't need them? They're gonna have that,
They're gonna have. It's gonna be a trend where, yeah,
one of the best fashioned accessories for your adult pacifier.
You're elaborate, beautiful adult pacifier you've created or purchased. You
(08:34):
really need these designer diapers. They give you such freedom,
not held hostage by the toilet anymore. Right back, there's
more show after the break. Uncle Henry Show, News Radio
(09:05):
seven to ten WN ten. It's five twenty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes. I've got a collar collar.
Hang on just a second. I was talking in the
last segment of the show about people. Are people getting
dumber or do we just notice it more now because
(09:26):
of all the advances in technology. I mentioned how these
people in China are using adult pacifiers. Also saw a
story to today. The McDonald's is going to come out
next week with adult happy meals. Yeah, adult happy Meals.
(09:47):
They'll have like a big old adult sandwich, like a
quarter pounder in there, but they'll also have a little
toy for you, adult happy meals. What's wrong with us?
Is adulthood too much? Now? When I was a kid,
I couldn't wait to be an adult. And now you
got people that never want they never want to take
(10:08):
that step. They oh, yeah, let's go get a pacifier
and we can well, let's stand in line to get
our adult happy meal. Then we can post pictures of it.
We can post pictures of it on Facebook. All right, Look,
I apologize for getting back into that, but people, what
is going on with people these days? Two five, one,
(10:30):
four seven nine two three the telephone number, and I
do have excuse me, not just a frog in my throat,
but callers, excuse me, Hello caller, Hi, Hey, you are
live on the radio.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Hey we are getting dumber.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You're right, you're also right to the next trend is
going to be adult droppers for everyone.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Okay, all right, well maybe we should get on on
the maybe I should starting them manufacturer. Maybe I make
some money off this.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Just make sure you make time.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
They can carry about a fifty pound load for your mother.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
All right, you sick freak. You're a sick man or
woman or whatever it is. I don't even want to
get into that. But whatever you are, however, you're classified
your sick. You're sick and demonic and sick simultaneously. I'm
(11:29):
sure there's a may we can create a word demon sick.
I don't know. That doesn't have a good ring to it.
But you got the devil in you. And it's almost
like when the Uncle Henry show starts somewhere in Mobile
County or Baldwin County, a portal from Hale opens up
(11:49):
just enough to get a phone signal out so that
some slee's bag that is down in one of the
circles of Hale can get a cell phone signal out
of Hale to call the show and say, some demonic
in perverted and set like you just did trying to
tie trying to tie my wonderful mother to something involving
(12:11):
diapers and the capacity of an adult diaper. It's just
it's such a disgusting. This is the kind of thing
that I need to talk you know, I need to
talk to this Baldwin County legislator, the one that's trying
to expand the death penalty, Matt Simpsting whatever his name is, Stimping,
whatever his name is. I need to get in touch
(12:32):
with him because he's the type of legislature that can
come up with some kind of a law that will
help me fight this.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I'm not calling for the death penalty, at least not
on the first call, but there needs to be some
kind of a penalty for this calling in. You know,
there's there's got to be some basic decency that we
can protect in our culture, in our society. Attacking people's mothers.
I mean, this is this was this was this went
(12:59):
out of Stufle with a sweat hogs. Do you remember them?
That's when that that was the last time it was
in style was the sweat Hogs, horse Shack and all
the other people. I'm I'm doing it. I'm getting I'm
getting in touch with an Alabama legislator, Matt stem Sing
(13:20):
or whatever his name is, and see about trying to
have some new law about this. He's already helping to
expand the death penalty, which is good. Uh may again,
I would not call for the death penalty for this.
Now I might call for something almost as bad, which
would be not being allowed to have a cell phone.
That would be wouldn't that be good? Right? Anyway, listeners,
(13:44):
apologize losing my temper, But I talked I talked about
in the first segment about our people getting dumber, and
then immediately a sleeves bag calls in. Two plus two
equals four. All right, now, let me go back to
the phones. Maybe I've got an actual legitimate person on
the phone and not somebody coming out of a portal
(14:05):
from Hale to call the program. Hello Color, Hello Color.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Hello uncle Henry. Look here your last color there with
all your final log on opening of your show talking
about technology and everything. You know, he just might have
a cell phone, don in hell?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You never know.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Just want to touch base with you on that. This
is the Bamman Bushop Mobile Part Radio calling in. I
wanted to talk to you about Alligator Alcatraz. You've heard
about that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Right, yeah? Yeah? Down there in Florida, they're they're holding
u the illegal aliens that have been arrested in alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Yes, yeah, yeah, it's righted by alligators so that they
don't want to escape, you know. Yeah, gonna sit right
there and cool the jets, I believe.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Well, you know, now Indiana is jumping on board. Did
you hear about that?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Indiana? What about it?
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Indiana is opening up the speedway Slammer. Yep. They are
gonna have a bunch of beds there, a bunch more
beds and alligator acatrash. I don't know if they're gonna
be able to skate there or not, but it's a
speedway that they're turning into an illegal immigrant detained center
(15:33):
before they deport them out of the country. Now, I
noticed on wpmm I they posting on Facebook today that
twenty four illegal alien immigrants were arrested and detained last
month between Mobile and Bowing County. Now, now that's something
to say right there. Now, I'm gonna tell you something.
(15:53):
These people ought to be taken in or shoes to
begin with. I wouldn't want to be in a country
that I wasn't welcome in that I illegally he entered.
I be looking over my souldier all the time. But
these people, they're still trying to hang in there for
the American Dream. But I'm gonna tell you something Superman
is doing Ice after Dean Kane, also known as Superman,
(16:16):
has joined forces with Ice. So them immigrants really ought
to be taking in the season. Now I recause the
Superman looking borro them. He got the sweet visit and
everything he's gonna find out with their hiding.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right, well, Bush howk thank you for your your
news update on the different facilities using how that are
being used to house the illegal aliens. Is there anything
else you've got for us before we move on to

and Mobile and we're fighting everyingernails if we had teeth.
Speaker 1 (16:51):

hours and hours of all of that on the Mobile
Pirate Radio Facebook page. Now now I've got another caller.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Hello Color uncle Henry. Yes, sir Stephen Breelin, how are.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You, Steven? You are live on the radio.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Don't you know that I didn't catch any of the
interviews last week you did with the you know, with
Brian and Spirou, And in the last couple days I've
kind of caught up on those that I think, out
of everything that I have watched and seen from the candidates,
you have done the most comprehensive interview questioning that I've
seen yet. So I'm gonna say thank you for doing that,
(19:29):
and it was refreshing to hear something more than the
same three sound bite questions that they could asked at
every single forum that they've done so far.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Really well, I appreciate that, but I you know, I
did not answer. I did not ask any hard questions.
I wasn't asking really any gotcha or probing or hard questions.
But you're saying that that it was different than what
they're saying in other places.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
For the most part. I mean, I mean pretty much
all you're getting from folks is and how do we
solve crime? And that's that's that's the thing, right, It's yeah,
the thing everywhere. But there's there's more to it to that.
I don't think that Rob uh Or from Langyat did
a piece today and he was kind of complaining about this,
and one of the things he said, he was like,
twenty years from now, people aren't going to go back
(20:15):
and say, oh, well, Mayor X y Z solved the
crime problem. They won't we remember for that kind of thing.
I remember for you know, all the other stuff true,
And I think it's that there's there's a merit to that,
so you asking about some of the other things decides
just that I thought was refreshing. So thank you for
(20:35):
giving us maybe a little different flavor. And hopefully the
ladies of the campaign will return your phone call and
come and do it as well, because I think we
should be able to hear from everybody in a long
form format. But I don't know. Maybe it's stuff you're
more seasoned politicians are a little more scared of that
long form interview because they've had lived their whole life
(20:58):
in the world's soundbites. Maybe that's why they haven't returned
your phone call.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Who knows, well, I don't know. I you don't want
to if you're doing good, you don't want to make
a mistake. So if you if you feel like you're
really doing good. This this is like people get that
got really upset when k Ivy would not debate. Well,
when the polls show you ten or fifteen or twenty
points ahead, why would you take the risk even if
(21:24):
the yeah, voters want to hear, but why would you
take the risk? And they may these candidates may feel
like they're doing quite well, and why take the risk
that you might accidentally say something that you that you
might not want to say.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
So, yeah, there's lyrics that as well. So but anyhow,
that's all. I just want congratulation, thank you for doing
a good job, and hopefully we can get some more
examples of that over the next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
All right, well, hey, thank you very Stephen, thank you
for your kind words.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yes, sir, you have a good day, you too.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And again those interviews are available as podcasts on the
iHeartRadio app. Now, I'm not at a point where I'm
asking asking the tough questions. I'm more interested in learning,
kind of like, I'm more curious about who these candidates are,
what are they like, just just a general sense of
(22:20):
who they are and what their character is. And so
that's why i'd rather ask them about their lives and
the things they're concerned about. There's still more questions that
I'd like to ask Paul Pryan and Spiro, but I'm
not going to ask them back yet unless the other
candidates also want to come in and be interviewed. I mean,
(22:43):
Barbara Drummond, I'd kind of like to ask her about
getting it. She was at the Press Register for years,
and I'd kind of like to ask her about getting
out of media, getting in the government, the kind of
things you may learn that you didn't realize when you
were in the versus getting on the other side and
getting into politics. And Connie Hudson's been around so long,
(23:07):
it would be interesting to talk to her about that
transition from city to county to government and how it's different.
And also she stayed out of trouble when so many
other commissioners just couldn't. Kind of curious about all that
kind of stuff. But anyway, we'll find out if those
interviews will happen or not, but would love to do
(23:28):
those interviews. Two five to one four seven nine two
seven two three. The telephone number there's two five to
one four seven nine two seven two three email address
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com Now. Yesterday at the
city council meeting, the head of the local NAACP showed
up and said that there were rumors in the community
(23:49):
about bus routes being dropped as the City of Mobile
is trying to figure out what to do would their
bus the bus service, and I thought you might want
to year a story that Brendan Kirby did on Fox
ten about what the city is thinking about doing with buses.
So here this is brief. Here's Brendan Kirby from Fox
(24:10):
ten talking about how the city is getting bids from
companies that want to run the buses. The City of.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Mobile is in something of a holding pattern when it
comes to public transportation, having temporarily extended the contract with
the company that manages the system while the administration charts
a long term course. Officials had discussed the possibility of
having fewer fixed routes with smaller buses and passenger vehicles,
similar to the Mogo service run by the Mobile Chamber
(24:41):
to help writers complete their journeys. Robert Copton, the head
of the Mobile County chapter of the NAACP, told council
members Tuesday that any service cuts would be devastating to
the most vulnerable residents, particularly along the plateau in Highway
forty five lines.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So what happened if we got these routes.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Let's be honest. We're not just talking about a slight inconvenience.
We're talking about this medical appointments, lost job for the
people who cannot afford over or have technology to use.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Mogo City council members Corey Penn and William Carroll say
the city has no plans to eliminate routes.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I would, by the way, in an election year, when
the election is a few weeks away, nobody's gonna talk
about cutting bus routes.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Not support anything about cutting service on Highway forty five
that's in my district.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Councilman Carroll says he wants to maintain the current level
of service, but not at the same cost.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
I'm not in favor of cutting you any routes. I
am in favor of lowering our costs that we're expending
with the transit system. When we're putting out ten million
dollars a year and we've got to find a way
to start leveling that some of that costs down.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
The city spokesman tells me that the details of these
proposals won't be made public until after the city assigned
a contract. The city got four proposals to choose from
recording Live in the New Center.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Brendan Kirby Fox tending, Okay, well, I don't. I don't
think for people that are worried about the buses, uh,
I think we'll have buses, but if they're not being used,
you do have to do something. You can't just keep
throwing throwing that money down the drain. If people if
there aren't enough people on the buses. You know, I
told you when this story came up a month or
(26:22):
two ago. If the buses are only half full, why
not take the other half of the bus and rent
it out to businesses like I suggested. I see nail
salons and eyelash places in every strip mall. Wouldn't it
(26:42):
be nice to have an eyelash and a nail salon
on a bus? Yeah, just put the the back half
of the bus. You can go get your nails done, ladies.
Maybe people would take the bus if they could get
their eyelashes done when they're going down Airport Boulevard. There's
also vape shops there's vape shops in every strip mall.
(27:03):
Why not put a vape shop in the back of
the bus. I know it sounds weird to you, but
you could earn You could earn some revenue renting out
the back half of the bus to businesses, and the
businesses might attract people. You know, people love food trucks.
(27:23):
Why don't they just put somebody in there selling hot
dogs in the back of the bus. Why to have
more people riding the bus if they could eat a
hot dog? Just just just some suggestions. In Uncle Henry
(27:56):
Shown News Radio seven to ten WNTM, it is five
point fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes and
then more Uncle Henry Show. And I'd like to apologize
for accidentally leaving my microphone on during part of the
commercial break. I know that you yearn to hear the
(28:17):
commercials clearly because there's often messages that are really important
in your life. You can get some of the best
information of the day from the commercials. So I apologize
for accidentally interrupting the commercials. Now Here we are and
(28:41):
I do have a caller. Hello, caller, Hey, Old Henry,
are you doing snake trapper? Snake trapper, you are live
on the radio.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Hey O, gra Henry a doll lunchtime today, I had
a lady reach out to me through messenger and stated
that her young teenage son I had, I'm sure the
photos of a black mamb of Uncle Henry in her yard. Well,
you know, I kind of chuckled to it, and uh,
I let her know quickly that that black mamba there
(29:13):
are no no, no known cases of a black mamba
in the wild in the United States. That that was
a very highly venomous snake in Africa, probably one of
the top five deadliest snakes in the world. So I
got her to send me that photo, Uncle Henry, and uh.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
What it was.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It appeared to be a large black snake. Now, whether
it was a black racer or a black or a
Southern indigo, Uncle Henry, I had no idea which one
of the two it was, because the way to tell
the difference and them two snakes is, uh, the indigo
has a orange belly to where the black racer had
(29:53):
a silver belly. Uh, But the indigo actually grows a
lot larger. So I kind of check to bid it
over Henry and let her know that the black mamba
got its name because of the color inside its mouth.
When they open their mouth, their mouth is almost a
jet black. But the snake itself is a light to
(30:15):
dark green color. It's not black at all. But yeah, man,
there have been many black snakes, probably beat to a
paulverine and also intogoes because people just assumed they was
a black mamba because they were a black snake. So uh,
just let people know that they don't have to worry
they're not gonna find a black mamba in their backyard
(30:39):
because I guess they read about how deadly they were. Yeah,
and there was reason to be concerned.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
So let me ask you this. So this week we've had,
we've had rain off and on. What is this a
week that snakes would enjoy? Would this be a wonderful
time to be a snake in Mobile, Alabama?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
It would be a wonderful time over Henry because the
temple here right now is getting into the mid nineties
and that is actually a tempter that the snakes are
not very comfortable with, at least the ones in our area.
Like you're cotton mouse, copperheads, your black snakes, your garden snakes,
your you know, just all of them around here. They
(31:17):
really love about eighty degree weather. So I guarantee you
when we have in good rainy days, they're coming out
on the banks and enjoy the delight of coolness. And
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear in the
next within the next month of people actually finding them
types of snakes in their pools and possibly in their
(31:39):
their sewer system. Henry, if you have a septic tank, uh,
it is very possible that the snake can come up
to your toilet now, or or even connected to the city.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
They do look for you know, they can't regulate their
temper and they have to cool down or stay warm.
They like it between eighty degrees and sixty five, so
we're hitting ninety five degrees, so they are looking to
cool down. They will start getting in your garages and
patios this time of year.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Hey, we're now into August. Have you eaten any snake
yet this summer, Henry.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
I have not eaten one, but man, I would love
it if somebody out there in radio Land could come
across a nice timber rattler, or a rattlesnake, or even
a large cotton mouth. Man, I'd be more than happy
to go out of my way to come get it.
And if that does happen and somebody reaches out to me,
I will let you know because I'd like to have
a cooking show with one. All Right, No, sir, I
(32:40):
haven't eaten a snake in several years, but I do
have a taste for it. Okay, Yeah, yeah, if you're
out there in radio Land and you can come across that,
I know there's some big ones out there in Wilma,
and I'm not too far away, I will go out
of my way to come get it.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
All right, Well, Snake Trapper, thank you for that update.
Thank you for telling me about the the black mamba
that was not sighted in Mobile count.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Oh yes, sir, yes, sir. I love that story and
I love when people reach out to me for snake identification.
And if you come across one and don't know what
it is, I definitely stay away from it. There's a
good chance it will not be venomous, but you know,
you just never know. Like I said, there are probably
twenty five different species of rattlesnakes in our area. You know,
(33:24):
you got the ground rattlers. There's one you don't hear
much of which is a very small rattlesnake that people
don't even know it's a rattlesnake.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Now, they're very.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Deadly, but they are so small they have to bite
you in a certain area just to affect you.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Wow. Yeah, just be aware, all right, and you the listener.
You can find Snake Trapper on Facebook if you want
to message him about snakes. It's two words, snake and
then trapper. Look for Snake Trapper on Facebook. Snake Trapper.
Thank you. There is more Uncle Henry's show to come
(34:00):
after the news break here on WNTM Fox on Satin.
Remember Twitter, Have.
Speaker 9 (34:11):
You ever asked a naturalized American how he or she
feels about the business of voting. If you have, it's
probably given you a whole new slant on the matter.
To those men and women who were born in other countries,
the right to vote is a precious privilege. They line
up before the voting booth on election day with the
same high sense of pride and responsibility that one might
(34:31):
feel upon being awarded some rare degree. Actually, the right
to vote should give us all the same heady thrill.
It is we, you and I who determine the course
of our country and the conditions of our own lives
with those votes we cast on election day. Just one reminder,
make sure your opinions will be counted. Make sure you
cast your vote by being very sure to register. Registration
(34:55):
days different in varying localities, check on the time in
your community, and get your name on the Then take
advantage of all of America's media of communication for informing
yourself on the issues involved. And then when election day comes,
go to the polls with pride and responsibility and vote.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM, and I thank you for listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. Now this half hour of show
going to get to some voicemail and some news items.
Want to start with voicemail. The voicemail number two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six, to leave a
(35:55):
message for the Uncle Henry Show and the listeners of
the show now. Already this week, there's been some minor
controversy in this portion of the show because of sixty
eight year old Chris calling in from West Locksley, Alabama
and talking about the wonderful potluck lunch he went to
(36:18):
this past Sunday after church, the ladies of the church
providing delicious food and Chris enjoying it. In fact, if
you were listening yesterday or the day before, you'd know
that Miss Margaret makes a New Orleans style bread pudding,
and she told sixty eight year old Chris to take
as much of the bread putting home as he wanted,
(36:39):
And so he took about three servings of bread putting
home with him. And for whatever reason, this outraged LD,
the retired mad Trucker. A little bit of controversy between
those two, since LD thinks that sixty eight year old
Chris is taking advantage of these potluck dinners and lunches
(37:01):
at the church. Now I've got a yes, there's an
update to this. Here is our update today. This is
a new message from sixty eight year old Chris of
West Locksley.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
Roti Road, TI bro sitting out here on the front
porch on this here Wednesday afternoon to twenty two pm.
The breeze seems to have subsided. However, I have my
fan with me on the front porch, so I actually
have a permanent breeze and depending on what direction it
blows out from when the wind blows, it just sort
(37:34):
of doubles the speed of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (37:37):
You know, and I'll just pause there to say, It's
another one of life's simple pleasures. Isn't it just having
that breeze, whether it's created artificially through a fan or
created by the Lord with a breeze. Isn't that a
wonderful simple pleasure of life? Being able to have a
porch and been able to have a chair, and to
(37:59):
be able to in it and feel the breeze and
be cognizant of where you are and know who you
are and what is going on. Isn't that one? God
bless you, sixty eight year old Chris enjoying the simple
pleasures of life.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
It just sort of doubles the speed of it, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Uncle.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
When I was telling you the other day about all
the victuals that Serena and I ate at church Sunday,
I forgot to mention that, well, it's yesterday morning, now Tuesday.
You know, I go to the breakfast at church, and
the men breakfast at church, all.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Right, so they have a men's breakfast every Tuesday morning
up at the church.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
And there's usually about i'd say, anywhere from twenty five
to fifty shows up, just depending on depending on today.
And man, let me tell you what we have. We
have these big old cadhead biscuits, eggs your choice, fried
or scrambled, because the two elders doing the cooking, they they'll,
(39:02):
they'll do them at your request.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
This is they maybe maybe they need to open like
a church bed and breakfast or something. This is this
I'm getting very, very attractive just to the culinary offerings
of this church. They're cooking the eggs to order at
the men's breakfast.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
Doing the cooking. They they'll, they'll do them at your request.
Homemade grits and then homemade gravy with bits and pieces
of sausage in it. And then I guess, sort of
as an appetizer on the table.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Then I'm sorry, I have to applaud, and that's probably
an unhealthy relationship with food that I have, but I
have to applaud the sausage.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
And then I guess sort of as an appetizer on
the table. In the bowls is diced up connected sausage
see CONNECTU sausage. There is plenty of hot steaming hot coffee. Man,
I'll tell you what. I'm gonna have to lose some
(40:09):
weight here for too long. It's gonna be, it's gonna
it's gonna try me from the temptation angle as to
whether I could go to that event and not eat
or or eat very little. I'm preying on it real hard.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Well, well, you're gonna need it, yes that I understand
where you're coming from here. I can understand where you're
coming from. So and I'll put you on my prayer
list for resisting the biscuits.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
In the meantime, it's gonna be listening to some Hannity,
especially like it on Wednesday, because he has Bill o'rally,
you know, on there from three to three thirty.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Hey does Now I don't get to hear that because
I'm doing stuff here at the radio station that requires
me to use microphones and stuff, so I can't listen
to Hannity when he's doing that. My question, does Sean
Hannity does he let Bill O'Reilly talk when he has
Bill O'Reilly on his show every week? Does he allow
(41:13):
O'Reilly to actually speak? Because I've noticed sometimes, especially on television,
sometimes I feel like Hannity talks more than even the
guests that he has. Does he let Bill O'Reilly talk.
Speaker 5 (41:28):
Hopefully he'll be able to get in a senator two edge.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
There you got motor mouth shown.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Okay, uh roll.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Ti roll tide roll. Sixty eight year old Chris of
West Lucksley, thank you for sharing your your breakfast story.
I guess that would be I don't know who would
be interested in that other than me, but I do
like like hearing what people do at church, the different
activities they have around church, because for a lot of people,
(41:58):
I've had members of my family that just if they
had an opportunity to have a condo or a cottage
or an apartment at a at a church, they would
they would do it because they enjoy their church so much.
Sixty eight year old Chris thanks again for the voicemail
voice my number two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. That's two five one two to one six,
(42:21):
nineteen seventy six to leave a message for the Uncle
Henry Show. Now going to take a quick timeout and
then more Uncle Henry Show before I go to break.
A reminder that you can listen to previous episodes available
as a podcast. If you want to listen back to
the different sixty eight year old Chris versus ld comments
(42:42):
from earlier this week. You can find those episodes of
The Uncle Henry Show available as podcasts on the iHeartRadio app.
You can also find the Uncle Emory Show podcast at
our website, NewsRadio seventy ten dot com. Back after the break,
Let's go ahead and let's take the break, This says
(43:16):
The Uncle Henry Show on News Radio seven to ten WNTM.
News headlines coming up in ten minutes. Before we get there,
I've got a few news items I want to try
and cover here. I'll try to squeeze in what I can. First,
(43:37):
I wanted to cover this because I've never heard of
this before. Maybe you have, maybe you haven't, but we
can learn together when we listen to this. I found
this story from WBrC UP in Birmingham, a stepsister station
to Fox ten. The headline on the story is preventing
urban heat Islands. Now, I've never heard of this, Maybe
(44:02):
you have, but urban heat islands? What is an urban
heat island? Well, let's let's find out together. Let's listen
to this news report on preventing urban heat islands. Maybe
you know what, I might be in one right now
and not even realize it.
Speaker 10 (44:22):
When you take a walk in downtown Birmingham, you can
probably feel that it's a lot hotter than some other areas.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Yeah, let's due to something called an urban heat island.
They can have negative effects on the communities, and I
recently spoke with a local organization hoping to cool things
down one tree at a time. When the hot summer
sun is beaming down on Birmingham, it can create an
urban heat island places that experience warmer temperatures compared to
nearby rural areas. Hard surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and bricks
(44:53):
retain heat during the day and slowly release it at night.
Speaker 10 (44:57):
You step outside, you walk on the roadways, you can
just fill that heat radiating well you think about for it,
combes and the roads and all the buildings in downtown
it retains that warmth.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
Check out how hot the bricks are here. One hundred
and forty three degrees in the afternoon sun.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
I'm sorry, Okay, So pavement gets hot, buildings get hot,
and when you build a lot of them together in
a city, then they're all hot together. And we have
to call it an urban heat island. So it's now
we have a new term for what has been around
since the beginning of building. I guess is these and
(45:36):
the reporter You can tell the reporter loves doing this
because they're measuring. They're they're putting a thermometer on a
brick building to somehow make us feel like this is
about I guess, are buildings bad? Now? Is it bad
to have a building? Should we all live in the woods?
Let's find out, should we all live in the woods?
Move to the woods and even in the shade.
Speaker 4 (45:58):
Experts say urban heat islands can affect public health, air
and water quality, and energy consumption.
Speaker 11 (46:04):
Check for any signs of disease or experts.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Somebody is an expert on how buildings can and pavement
can get hot bugs.
Speaker 4 (46:15):
A group that's trying to bring more shade to the
Magic City literally is cool Green Trees an initiative taking
action to combat the negative effects of urban heat islands
by planting more trees.
Speaker 11 (46:26):
Oftentimes, the base of the tree has a lot of
the care.
Speaker 4 (46:29):
Of a tree. Patrick McMahon is the urban arborist.
Speaker 11 (46:32):
A lot of communities in Jefferson County, a lot of neighborhoods, roads,
right of ways, parks. There just aren't that many spots
for shade, especially when there are some aging trees, storms
and trees falling.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
We really maybe he should call Bill Gates. I think
Bill Gates is working on trying to block the sun
in some cases to prevent more heat down here. So,
by the way, I'm in favor of trees. Rather look
at trees than anything else in terms of buildings and
things like that. I like having a lot of trees.
(47:06):
So what is the point of this? Is this to
make people feel like they're put down or they're victims
because they actually live in a city rather than live
out in the country where they don't have some type
of urban heat island.
Speaker 11 (47:23):
Really need to replaced that shade, and we do want
to restore, you know, canopy using native trees so to
produce more shade to reduce the burden of urban heat islands.
Speaker 4 (47:33):
Earlier this year, Cool Green Trees coming together with the
community to plant dozens of trees in the park on
Norwood Boulevard. Nearby, you'll also find new trees along the
street Keith Smith grew up on. He's currently renovating his
dad's house there.
Speaker 12 (47:47):
I didn't even know what they were for. I thought
there was just adding more beauty to the neighborhood because
it's a historic district. But now understanding why they're there,
I think is a perfect idea.
Speaker 4 (47:54):
Smith believes the project will make an impact.
Speaker 12 (47:57):
Just sitting on the porch sometimes having a couple of water,
you just begin to sweat, how how heated the area.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Is, and then terrible that you have that. It's in
Alabama in August. You might sweat and you didn't know it.
You didn't know you were in an urban heat island.
You just thought it was August. No, it's an urban
heat island. And some bad people cut the trees down
when they paved the street. And now we've got to
(48:25):
form some type of group, go out and planet tree.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Look.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
I'm in favor of planting trees. I hope they're very successful.
But the term urban heat island, I just there's some
there's something beautiful about it, and it's and it's it's
some somehow politicizing shade is what I guess what I'm
getting at here. Shade is somehow being politicized. You create
(48:50):
an urban heat island. You know, the hottest I've been
this summer has been down at the wharf Amphitheater in
Orange Beach. There's a lot of pavement down there. There's
a lot of buildings, but the Amphitheater itself, there's lots
of trees around it, and it's kind of swampy down there.
(49:13):
And I had a lot of shade. I had shade, trees, swampiness, grass,
a bunch of grass around me. Is that an urban
heat island or was it just hot? I guess, well,
I guess I'm not an expert. Maybe I need to
reach out to these people and asking to come on
the Uncle Henry Show and educate me on when is
(49:35):
it just hot versus some type of special urban heat island.
All right, out of time, Thank the Lord for the
Uncle Henry Show. There will be more show tomorrow. I'm
contractually obligated to come back. Thank you for listening. As
they say in Sarahland, have a good one. As they
say in Theodore, take it easy
Speaker 2 (49:54):
All right Later
The Uncle Henry Show weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
We're not gonna take it. No, We're not gonna take it.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
We're not gonna take it anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It says The Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seven ten w n T E M. Thank you so much,
appreciate very much you listening to The Uncle Henry Show.
I really do. Once again, here we are together, just
me and you, trying so hard to figure out what
(01:14):
is going on, what is going on in the world
around us, What's happened to people these days? What is
seriously what is wrong with people these days? I'm always
wondering have people always been like this and we just
didn't realize it? Or have people gotten worser and worser
(01:40):
as time is going on. I just can never arrive
at an answer to this now. Of course, yeah, there's
things to talk about. I'll get to all these different things,
different news items and things to get to here on
the Uncle Inverary Show. But I'm really I'm really trying
to figure out are have people always been like this?
Have people always been like this and we just didn't
We didn't realize it because we didn't have the Internet
(02:00):
and we didn't have all these smartphones, and people weren't
recording everything they did twenty four hours a day and
then putting showing us what they're having for dinner, Look
at what I had for dinner, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Do we just.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Have we always been like this? Or has the technology
strangely handicapped our minds and made us dumber and worser.
I don't know. I'm still trying to figure it out,
but I just get the feeling that that instead of
us getting better with all the new technology, all of
(02:35):
the great knowledge at our fingertips, instead of us all
getting better, a bunch of us are somehow getting worse,
somehow getting dumber or more violent. I saw a story
today about a new social media challenge. Now you've heard
of all these social media challenges. Years ago, we had
people eating detergent. You remember the tide pods where people
(02:56):
were eating they were eating detergent on the internet. And
then recently one of the recent social media challenges was
some kind of door kicking challenge. I've told you about
that one where in some parts of the country, teenagers
were running up to people's front doors and beating it,
(03:18):
kicking the doors and beating on the doors, trying to
frighten the homeowner and get it all on get it
all on video. Just increasingly stupid. Today, there's yet another
one that I found out about. Listen to this. Authorities
are issuing a warning in Pennsylvania about a new social
(03:41):
media challenge that is the hot water Challenge. And it's
as dumb as it sounds. It's as stupid as it sounds.
It's young people are getting water boy and hot and
(04:01):
then they're pouring it on other people, and of course
getting it on video, because what's more exciting and fun
and viral than burning someone and having the video evidence
that you can show all your friends, show all your
friends on social media. There was a child in Pennsylvania
severely burned by his older brother who boiled water in
(04:24):
a microwave and then poured it on the child while
it was asleep, to participate in the hot water challenge.
So authorities, it's see, it's when when we have to
involve the authorities to tell us not to do stupid
things like this, imagine try to imagine that would this
(04:47):
ever fit in at any other time in human history
that you had to warn people not to pour boiling
water on each other because it might hurt them. Was
there is there any other time in human history we'd
need to warn each other, Hey, be careful if you
dump boiling water on somebody, they might get hurt. I
(05:08):
just keep wondering, are we getting dumber? Are we dumber now?
Or have we always been like this? And there's just way,
there's just evidence now because we're all video and everything
all the time. This is kind of an example. This
kind of ties into this. I saw a story today
(05:30):
about the young adults in China. They have social media,
believe it or not, in China, and the young adults
in China are very stressed out. I guess it's very
stressful living under communism, and so they've got a new
(05:52):
way of relieving stress. The young adults in China. Their
new way of relieving stress is using adult pacifiers. That yes,
these are adults in their twenties. They're so stressed out
(06:13):
that they think that the best way to relieve their
anxiety is to suck on a pacifier. And let's see,
I saw the news article here. Let me look here
with all these different pictures they have created, all these beautiful,
elaborate adult pacifiers and they're telling each other. They have
their own influencers out there saying, hey, this really works,
(06:37):
this really works. You need to try it. It really works.
If you just suck on this thing, it'll help you
calm down. It'll help calm down. You can sleep better
at night. All you got to do is suck on
this adult pacifier. I mean, is this come on? If
people or have people always been like this? Are we
(07:01):
somehow the technology gets better and the people get dumber,
We're gonna need AI, aren't we. We're gonna need artificial
intelligence because these people, these are these people are in
their early twenties and there they've discovered pacifiers and thinks
sucking on one is just great stress relief. These people
(07:23):
are going to end up being my age one day.
Or how are they gonna function if they don't have
artificial intelligence to tell them what to do? How are
they gonna function. We're already at a point where we're
gonna need cars to drive themselves because people can't. They
can't go two blocks without without you know, answering a
(07:47):
text or posting something on Facebook. We're gonna need that.
We're going to We've created technology that's making us dumber,
and then we're gonna need the technology. I just hope
they perfect that in time, because these people, they don't
have many years left. I don't think before they're not
going to be able to take care of themselves. What's
the next trend? Is it's going to be diapers for
(08:10):
the healthy? Is that going to be it? The next trend?
Now that they've got pacifiers, are they gonna have adult
diapers for people that don't need them? They're gonna have that,
They're gonna have. It's gonna be a trend where, yeah,
one of the best fashioned accessories for your adult pacifier.
You're elaborate, beautiful adult pacifier you've created or purchased. You
(08:34):
really need these designer diapers. They give you such freedom,
not held hostage by the toilet anymore. Right back, there's
more show after the break. Uncle Henry Show, News Radio
(09:05):
seven to ten WN ten. It's five twenty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes. I've got a collar collar.
Hang on just a second. I was talking in the
last segment of the show about people. Are people getting
dumber or do we just notice it more now because
(09:26):
of all the advances in technology. I mentioned how these
people in China are using adult pacifiers. Also saw a
story to today. The McDonald's is going to come out
next week with adult happy meals. Yeah, adult happy Meals.
(09:47):
They'll have like a big old adult sandwich, like a
quarter pounder in there, but they'll also have a little
toy for you, adult happy meals. What's wrong with us?
Is adulthood too much? Now? When I was a kid,
I couldn't wait to be an adult. And now you
got people that never want they never want to take
(10:08):
that step. They oh, yeah, let's go get a pacifier
and we can well, let's stand in line to get
our adult happy meal. Then we can post pictures of it.
We can post pictures of it on Facebook. All right, Look,
I apologize for getting back into that, but people, what
is going on with people these days? Two five, one,
(10:30):
four seven nine two three the telephone number, and I
do have excuse me, not just a frog in my throat,
but callers, excuse me, Hello caller, Hi, Hey, you are
live on the radio.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Hey we are getting dumber.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You're right, you're also right to the next trend is
going to be adult droppers for everyone.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Okay, all right, well maybe we should get on on
the maybe I should starting them manufacturer. Maybe I make
some money off this.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Just make sure you make time.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
They can carry about a fifty pound load for your mother.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
All right, you sick freak. You're a sick man or
woman or whatever it is. I don't even want to
get into that. But whatever you are, however, you're classified
your sick. You're sick and demonic and sick simultaneously. I'm
(11:29):
sure there's a may we can create a word demon sick.
I don't know. That doesn't have a good ring to it.
But you got the devil in you. And it's almost
like when the Uncle Henry show starts somewhere in Mobile
County or Baldwin County, a portal from Hale opens up
(11:49):
just enough to get a phone signal out so that
some slee's bag that is down in one of the
circles of Hale can get a cell phone signal out
of Hale to call the show and say, some demonic
in perverted and set like you just did trying to
tie trying to tie my wonderful mother to something involving
(12:11):
diapers and the capacity of an adult diaper. It's just
it's such a disgusting. This is the kind of thing
that I need to talk you know, I need to
talk to this Baldwin County legislator, the one that's trying
to expand the death penalty, Matt Simpsting whatever his name is, Stimping,
whatever his name is. I need to get in touch
(12:32):
with him because he's the type of legislature that can
come up with some kind of a law that will
help me fight this.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I'm not calling for the death penalty, at least not
on the first call, but there needs to be some
kind of a penalty for this calling in. You know,
there's there's got to be some basic decency that we
can protect in our culture, in our society. Attacking people's mothers.
I mean, this is this was this was this went
(12:59):
out of Stufle with a sweat hogs. Do you remember them?
That's when that that was the last time it was
in style was the sweat Hogs, horse Shack and all
the other people. I'm I'm doing it. I'm getting I'm
getting in touch with an Alabama legislator, Matt stem Sing
(13:20):
or whatever his name is, and see about trying to
have some new law about this. He's already helping to
expand the death penalty, which is good. Uh may again,
I would not call for the death penalty for this.
Now I might call for something almost as bad, which
would be not being allowed to have a cell phone.
That would be wouldn't that be good? Right? Anyway, listeners,
(13:44):
apologize losing my temper, But I talked I talked about
in the first segment about our people getting dumber, and
then immediately a sleeves bag calls in. Two plus two
equals four. All right, now, let me go back to
the phones. Maybe I've got an actual legitimate person on
the phone and not somebody coming out of a portal
(14:05):
from Hale to call the program. Hello Color, Hello Color.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Hello uncle Henry. Look here your last color there with
all your final log on opening of your show talking
about technology and everything. You know, he just might have
a cell phone, don in hell?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You never know.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Just want to touch base with you on that. This
is the Bamman Bushop Mobile Part Radio calling in. I
wanted to talk to you about Alligator Alcatraz. You've heard
about that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Right, yeah? Yeah? Down there in Florida, they're they're holding
u the illegal aliens that have been arrested in alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 6 (14:53):

Indiana? What about it?
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Indiana is opening up the speedway Slammer. Yep. They are
gonna have a bunch of beds there, a bunch more
beds and alligator acatrash. I don't know if they're gonna
be able to skate there or not, but it's a
speedway that they're turning into an illegal immigrant detained center
(15:33):
before they deport them out of the country. Now, I
noticed on wpmm I they posting on Facebook today that
twenty four illegal alien immigrants were arrested and detained last
month between Mobile and Bowing County. Now, now that's something
to say right there. Now, I'm gonna tell you something.
(15:53):
These people ought to be taken in or shoes to
begin with. I wouldn't want to be in a country
that I wasn't welcome in that I illegally he entered.
I be looking over my souldier all the time. But
these people, they're still trying to hang in there for
the American Dream. But I'm gonna tell you something Superman
is doing Ice after Dean Kane, also known as Superman,
(16:16):
has joined forces with Ice. So them immigrants really ought
to be taking in the season. Now I recause the
Superman looking borro them. He got the sweet visit and
everything he's gonna find out with their hiding.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right, well, Bush howk thank you for your your

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Hello Color uncle Henry. Yes, sir Stephen Breelin, how are.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You, Steven? You are live on the radio.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Don't you know that I didn't catch any of the
interviews last week you did with the you know, with
Brian and Spirou, And in the last couple days I've
kind of caught up on those that I think, out
of everything that I have watched and seen from the candidates,
you have done the most comprehensive interview questioning that I've
seen yet. So I'm gonna say thank you for doing that,
(19:29):
and it was refreshing to hear something more than the
same three sound bite questions that they could asked at
every single forum that they've done so far.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Really well, I appreciate that, but I you know, I
did not answer. I did not ask any hard questions.
I wasn't asking really any gotcha or probing or hard questions.
But you're saying that that it was different than what
they're saying in other places.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
For the most part. I mean, I mean pretty much
all you're getting from folks is and how do we
solve crime? And that's that's that's the thing, right, It's yeah,
the thing everywhere. But there's there's more to it to that.
I don't think that Rob uh Or from Langyat did
a piece today and he was kind of complaining about this,
and one of the things he said, he was like,
twenty years from now, people aren't going to go back
(20:15):
and say, oh, well, Mayor X y Z solved the
crime problem. They won't we remember for that kind of thing.
I remember for you know, all the other stuff true,
And I think it's that there's there's a merit to that,
so you asking about some of the other things decides
just that I thought was refreshing. So thank you for
(20:35):
giving us maybe a little different flavor. And hopefully the
ladies of the campaign will return your phone call and
come and do it as well, because I think we
should be able to hear from everybody in a long
form format. But I don't know. Maybe it's stuff you're
more seasoned politicians are a little more scared of that
long form interview because they've had lived their whole life
(20:58):
in the world's soundbites. Maybe that's why they haven't returned
your phone call.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Who knows, well, I don't know. I you don't want
to if you're doing good, you don't want to make
a mistake. So if you if you feel like you're
really doing good. This this is like people get that
got really upset when k Ivy would not debate. Well,
when the polls show you ten or fifteen or twenty
points ahead, why would you take the risk even if
(21:24):
the yeah, voters want to hear, but why would you
take the risk? And they may these candidates may feel
like they're doing quite well, and why take the risk
that you might accidentally say something that you that you
might not want to say.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
So, yeah, there's lyrics that as well. So but anyhow,
that's all. I just want congratulation, thank you for doing
a good job, and hopefully we can get some more
examples of that over the next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
All right, well, hey, thank you very Stephen, thank you
for your kind words.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yes, sir, you have a good day, you too.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And again those interviews are available as podcasts on the
iHeartRadio app. Now, I'm not at a point where I'm
asking asking the tough questions. I'm more interested in learning,
kind of like, I'm more curious about who these candidates are,
what are they like, just just a general sense of
(22:20):
who they are and what their character is. And so
that's why i'd rather ask them about their lives and
the things they're concerned about. There's still more questions that
I'd like to ask Paul Pryan and Spiro, but I'm
not going to ask them back yet unless the other
candidates also want to come in and be interviewed. I mean,
(22:43):
Barbara Drummond, I'd kind of like to ask her about
getting it. She was at the Press Register for years,
and I'd kind of like to ask her about getting
out of media, getting in the government, the kind of
things you may learn that you didn't realize when you
were in the versus getting on the other side and
getting into politics. And Connie Hudson's been around so long,
(23:07):
it would be interesting to talk to her about that
transition from city to county to government and how it's different.
And also she stayed out of trouble when so many
other commissioners just couldn't. Kind of curious about all that
kind of stuff. But anyway, we'll find out if those
interviews will happen or not, but would love to do
(23:28):
those interviews. Two five to one four seven nine two
seven two three. The telephone number there's two five to
one four seven nine two seven two three email address
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com Now. Yesterday at the
city council meeting, the head of the local NAACP showed
up and said that there were rumors in the community
(23:49):
about bus routes being dropped as the City of Mobile
is trying to figure out what to do would their
bus the bus service, and I thought you might want
to year a story that Brendan Kirby did on Fox
ten about what the city is thinking about doing with buses.
So here this is brief. Here's Brendan Kirby from Fox
(24:10):
ten talking about how the city is getting bids from
companies that want to run the buses. The City of.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Mobile is in something of a holding pattern when it
comes to public transportation, having temporarily extended the contract with
the company that manages the system while the administration charts
a long term course. Officials had discussed the possibility of
having fewer fixed routes with smaller buses and passenger vehicles,
similar to the Mogo service run by the Mobile Chamber
(24:41):
to help writers complete their journeys. Robert Copton, the head
of the Mobile County chapter of the NAACP, told council
members Tuesday that any service cuts would be devastating to
the most vulnerable residents, particularly along the plateau in Highway
forty five lines.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So what happened if we got these routes.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Let's be honest. We're not just talking about a slight inconvenience.
We're talking about this medical appointments, lost job for the
people who cannot afford over or have technology to use.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Mogo City council members Corey Penn and William Carroll say
the city has no plans to eliminate routes.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I would, by the way, in an election year, when
the election is a few weeks away, nobody's gonna talk
about cutting bus routes.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Not support anything about cutting service on Highway forty five
that's in my district.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Councilman Carroll says he wants to maintain the current level
of service, but not at the same cost.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
I'm not in favor of cutting you any routes. I
am in favor of lowering our costs that we're expending
with the transit system. When we're putting out ten million
dollars a year and we've got to find a way
to start leveling that some of that costs down.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
The city spokesman tells me that the details of these
proposals won't be made public until after the city assigned
a contract. The city got four proposals to choose from
recording Live in the New Center.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Brendan Kirby Fox tending, Okay, well, I don't. I don't
think for people that are worried about the buses, uh,
I think we'll have buses, but if they're not being used,
you do have to do something. You can't just keep
throwing throwing that money down the drain. If people if
there aren't enough people on the buses. You know, I
told you when this story came up a month or
(26:22):
two ago. If the buses are only half full, why
not take the other half of the bus and rent
it out to businesses like I suggested. I see nail
salons and eyelash places in every strip mall. Wouldn't it
(26:42):
be nice to have an eyelash and a nail salon
on a bus? Yeah, just put the the back half
of the bus. You can go get your nails done, ladies.
Maybe people would take the bus if they could get
their eyelashes done when they're going down Airport Boulevard. There's
also vape shops there's vape shops in every strip mall.
(27:03):
Why not put a vape shop in the back of
the bus. I know it sounds weird to you, but
you could earn You could earn some revenue renting out
the back half of the bus to businesses, and the
businesses might attract people. You know, people love food trucks.
(27:23):
Why don't they just put somebody in there selling hot
dogs in the back of the bus. Why to have
more people riding the bus if they could eat a
hot dog? Just just just some suggestions. In Uncle Henry
(27:56):
Shown News Radio seven to ten WNTM, it is five
point fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes and
then more Uncle Henry Show. And I'd like to apologize
for accidentally leaving my microphone on during part of the
commercial break. I know that you yearn to hear the
(28:17):
commercials clearly because there's often messages that are really important
in your life. You can get some of the best
information of the day from the commercials. So I apologize
for accidentally interrupting the commercials. Now Here we are and
(28:41):
I do have a caller. Hello, caller, Hey, Old Henry,
are you doing snake trapper? Snake trapper, you are live
on the radio.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Hey O, gra Henry a doll lunchtime today, I had
a lady reach out to me through messenger and stated
that her young teenage son I had, I'm sure the
photos of a black mamb of Uncle Henry in her yard. Well,
you know, I kind of chuckled to it, and uh,
I let her know quickly that that black mamba there
(29:13):
are no no, no known cases of a black mamba
in the wild in the United States. That that was
a very highly venomous snake in Africa, probably one of
the top five deadliest snakes in the world. So I
got her to send me that photo, Uncle Henry, and uh.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
What it was.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It appeared to be a large black snake. Now, whether
it was a black racer or a black or a
Southern indigo, Uncle Henry, I had no idea which one
of the two it was, because the way to tell
the difference and them two snakes is, uh, the indigo
has a orange belly to where the black racer had
(29:53):
a silver belly. Uh, But the indigo actually grows a
lot larger. So I kind of check to bid it
over Henry and let her know that the black mamba
got its name because of the color inside its mouth.
When they open their mouth, their mouth is almost a
jet black. But the snake itself is a light to
(30:15):
dark green color. It's not black at all. But yeah, man,
there have been many black snakes, probably beat to a
paulverine and also intogoes because people just assumed they was
a black mamba because they were a black snake. So uh,
just let people know that they don't have to worry
they're not gonna find a black mamba in their backyard
(30:39):
because I guess they read about how deadly they were. Yeah,
and there was reason to be concerned.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
So let me ask you this. So this week we've had,
we've had rain off and on. What is this a
week that snakes would enjoy? Would this be a wonderful
time to be a snake in Mobile, Alabama?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
It would be a wonderful time over Henry because the
temple here right now is getting into the mid nineties
and that is actually a tempter that the snakes are
not very comfortable with, at least the ones in our area.
Like you're cotton mouse, copperheads, your black snakes, your garden snakes,
your you know, just all of them around here. They
(31:17):
really love about eighty degree weather. So I guarantee you
when we have in good rainy days, they're coming out
on the banks and enjoy the delight of coolness. And
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear in the
next within the next month of people actually finding them
types of snakes in their pools and possibly in their
(31:39):
their sewer system. Henry, if you have a septic tank, uh,
it is very possible that the snake can come up
to your toilet now, or or even connected to the city.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
They do look for you know, they can't regulate their
temper and they have to cool down or stay warm.
They like it between eighty degrees and sixty five, so
we're hitting ninety five degrees, so they are looking to
cool down. They will start getting in your garages and
patios this time of year.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Hey, we're now into August. Have you eaten any snake
yet this summer, Henry.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
I have not eaten one, but man, I would love
it if somebody out there in radio Land could come
across a nice timber rattler, or a rattlesnake, or even
a large cotton mouth. Man, I'd be more than happy
to go out of my way to come get it.
And if that does happen and somebody reaches out to me,
I will let you know because I'd like to have
a cooking show with one. All Right, No, sir, I
(32:40):
haven't eaten a snake in several years, but I do
have a taste for it. Okay, Yeah, yeah, if you're
out there in radio Land and you can come across that,
I know there's some big ones out there in Wilma,
and I'm not too far away, I will go out
of my way to come get it.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
All right, Well, Snake Trapper, thank you for that update.
Thank you for telling me about the the black mamba
that was not sighted in Mobile count.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Oh yes, sir, yes, sir. I love that story and
I love when people reach out to me for snake identification.
And if you come across one and don't know what
it is, I definitely stay away from it. There's a
good chance it will not be venomous, but you know,
you just never know. Like I said, there are probably
twenty five different species of rattlesnakes in our area. You know,
(33:24):
you got the ground rattlers. There's one you don't hear
much of which is a very small rattlesnake that people
don't even know it's a rattlesnake.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Now, they're very.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Deadly, but they are so small they have to bite
you in a certain area just to affect you.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Wow. Yeah, just be aware, all right, and you the listener.
You can find Snake Trapper on Facebook if you want
to message him about snakes. It's two words, snake and
then trapper. Look for Snake Trapper on Facebook. Snake Trapper.
Thank you. There is more Uncle Henry's show to come
(34:00):
after the news break here on WNTM Fox on Satin.
Remember Twitter, Have.
Speaker 9 (34:11):
You ever asked a naturalized American how he or she
feels about the business of voting. If you have, it's
probably given you a whole new slant on the matter.
To those men and women who were born in other countries,
the right to vote is a precious privilege. They line
up before the voting booth on election day with the
same high sense of pride and responsibility that one might
(34:31):
feel upon being awarded some rare degree. Actually, the right
to vote should give us all the same heady thrill.
It is we, you and I who determine the course
of our country and the conditions of our own lives
with those votes we cast on election day. Just one reminder,
make sure your opinions will be counted. Make sure you
cast your vote by being very sure to register. Registration
(34:55):
days different in varying localities, check on the time in
your community, and get your name on the Then take
advantage of all of America's media of communication for informing
yourself on the issues involved. And then when election day comes,
go to the polls with pride and responsibility and vote.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM, and I thank you for listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. Now this half hour of show
going to get to some voicemail and some news items.
Want to start with voicemail. The voicemail number two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six, to leave a
(35:55):
message for the Uncle Henry Show and the listeners of
the show now. Already this week, there's been some minor
controversy in this portion of the show because of sixty
eight year old Chris calling in from West Locksley, Alabama
and talking about the wonderful potluck lunch he went to
(36:18):
this past Sunday after church, the ladies of the church
providing delicious food and Chris enjoying it. In fact, if
you were listening yesterday or the day before, you'd know
that Miss Margaret makes a New Orleans style bread pudding,
and she told sixty eight year old Chris to take
as much of the bread putting home as he wanted,
(36:39):
And so he took about three servings of bread putting
home with him. And for whatever reason, this outraged LD,
the retired mad Trucker. A little bit of controversy between
those two, since LD thinks that sixty eight year old
Chris is taking advantage of these potluck dinners and lunches
(37:01):
at the church. Now I've got a yes, there's an
update to this. Here is our update today. This is
a new message from sixty eight year old Chris of
West Locksley.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
Roti Road, TI bro sitting out here on the front
porch on this here Wednesday afternoon to twenty two pm.
The breeze seems to have subsided. However, I have my
fan with me on the front porch, so I actually
have a permanent breeze and depending on what direction it
blows out from when the wind blows, it just sort
(37:34):
of doubles the speed of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (37:37):
You know, and I'll just pause there to say, It's
another one of life's simple pleasures. Isn't it just having
that breeze, whether it's created artificially through a fan or
created by the Lord with a breeze. Isn't that a
wonderful simple pleasure of life? Being able to have a
porch and been able to have a chair, and to
(37:59):
be able to in it and feel the breeze and
be cognizant of where you are and know who you
are and what is going on. Isn't that one? God
bless you, sixty eight year old Chris enjoying the simple
pleasures of life.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
It just sort of doubles the speed of it, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Uncle.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
When I was telling you the other day about all
the victuals that Serena and I ate at church Sunday,
I forgot to mention that, well, it's yesterday morning, now Tuesday.
You know, I go to the breakfast at church, and
the men breakfast at church, all.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Right, so they have a men's breakfast every Tuesday morning
up at the church.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
And there's usually about i'd say, anywhere from twenty five
to fifty shows up, just depending on depending on today.
And man, let me tell you what we have. We
have these big old cadhead biscuits, eggs your choice, fried
or scrambled, because the two elders doing the cooking, they they'll,
(39:02):
they'll do them at your request.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
This is they maybe maybe they need to open like
a church bed and breakfast or something. This is this
I'm getting very, very attractive just to the culinary offerings
of this church. They're cooking the eggs to order at
the men's breakfast.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
Doing the cooking. They they'll, they'll do them at your request.
Homemade grits and then homemade gravy with bits and pieces
of sausage in it. And then I guess, sort of
as an appetizer on the table.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Then I'm sorry, I have to applaud, and that's probably
an unhealthy relationship with food that I have, but I
have to applaud the sausage.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
And then I guess sort of as an appetizer on
the table. In the bowls is diced up connected sausage
see CONNECTU sausage. There is plenty of hot steaming hot coffee. Man,
I'll tell you what. I'm gonna have to lose some
(40:09):
weight here for too long. It's gonna be, it's gonna
it's gonna try me from the temptation angle as to
whether I could go to that event and not eat
or or eat very little. I'm preying on it real hard.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Well, well, you're gonna need it, yes that I understand
where you're coming from here. I can understand where you're
coming from. So and I'll put you on my prayer
list for resisting the biscuits.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
In the meantime, it's gonna be listening to some Hannity,
especially like it on Wednesday, because he has Bill o'rally,
you know, on there from three to three thirty.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Hey does Now I don't get to hear that because
I'm doing stuff here at the radio station that requires
me to use microphones and stuff, so I can't listen
to Hannity when he's doing that. My question, does Sean
Hannity does he let Bill O'Reilly talk when he has
Bill O'Reilly on his show every week? Does he allow
(41:13):
O'Reilly to actually speak? Because I've noticed sometimes, especially on television,
sometimes I feel like Hannity talks more than even the
guests that he has. Does he let Bill O'Reilly talk.
Speaker 5 (41:28):
Hopefully he'll be able to get in a senator two edge.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
There you got motor mouth shown.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Okay, uh roll.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Ti roll tide roll. Sixty eight year old Chris of
West Lucksley, thank you for sharing your your breakfast story.
I guess that would be I don't know who would
be interested in that other than me, but I do
like like hearing what people do at church, the different
activities they have around church, because for a lot of people,
(41:58):
I've had members of my family that just if they
had an opportunity to have a condo or a cottage
or an apartment at a at a church, they would
they would do it because they enjoy their church so much.
Sixty eight year old Chris thanks again for the voicemail
voice my number two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. That's two five one two to one six,
(42:21):
nineteen seventy six to leave a message for the Uncle
Henry Show. Now going to take a quick timeout and
then more Uncle Henry Show before I go to break.
A reminder that you can listen to previous episodes available
as a podcast. If you want to listen back to
the different sixty eight year old Chris versus ld comments

from earlier this week. You can find those episodes of
The Uncle Henry Show available as podcasts on the iHeartRadio app.
You can also find the Uncle Emory Show podcast at
our website, NewsRadio seventy ten dot com. Back after the break,
Let's go ahead and let's take the break, This says
(43:16):
The Uncle Henry Show on News Radio seven to ten WNTM.
News headlines coming up in ten minutes. Before we get there,
I've got a few news items I want to try
and cover here. I'll try to squeeze in what I can. First,
(43:37):
I wanted to cover this because I've never heard of
this before. Maybe you have, maybe you haven't, but we
can learn together when we listen to this. I found
this story from WBrC UP in Birmingham, a stepsister station
to Fox ten. The headline on the story is preventing
urban heat Islands. Now, I've never heard of this, Maybe
(44:02):
you have, but urban heat islands? What is an urban
heat island? Well, let's let's find out together. Let's listen
to this news report on preventing urban heat islands. Maybe
you know what, I might be in one right now
and not even realize it.
Speaker 10 (44:22):
When you take a walk in downtown Birmingham, you can
probably feel that it's a lot hotter than some other areas.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Yeah, let's due to something called an urban heat island.
They can have negative effects on the communities, and I
recently spoke with a local organization hoping to cool things
down one tree at a time. When the hot summer
sun is beaming down on Birmingham, it can create an
urban heat island places that experience warmer temperatures compared to
nearby rural areas. Hard surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and bricks
(44:53):
retain heat during the day and slowly release it at night.
Speaker 10 (44:57):
You step outside, you walk on the roadways, you can
just fill that heat radiating well you think about for it,
combes and the roads and all the buildings in downtown
it retains that warmth.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
Check out how hot the bricks are here. One hundred
and forty three degrees in the afternoon sun.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
I'm sorry, Okay, So pavement gets hot, buildings get hot,
and when you build a lot of them together in
a city, then they're all hot together. And we have
to call it an urban heat island. So it's now
we have a new term for what has been around
since the beginning of building. I guess is these and
(45:36):
the reporter You can tell the reporter loves doing this
because they're measuring. They're they're putting a thermometer on a
brick building to somehow make us feel like this is
about I guess, are buildings bad? Now? Is it bad
to have a building? Should we all live in the woods?
Let's find out, should we all live in the woods?
Move to the woods and even in the shade.
Speaker 4 (45:58):
Experts say urban heat islands can affect public health, air
and water quality, and energy consumption.
Speaker 11 (46:04):
Check for any signs of disease or experts.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Somebody is an expert on how buildings can and pavement
can get hot bugs.
Speaker 4 (46:15):
A group that's trying to bring more shade to the
Magic City literally is cool Green Trees an initiative taking
action to combat the negative effects of urban heat islands
by planting more trees.
Speaker 11 (46:26):
Oftentimes, the base of the tree has a lot of
the care.
Speaker 4 (46:29):
Of a tree. Patrick McMahon is the urban arborist.
Speaker 11 (46:32):
A lot of communities in Jefferson County, a lot of neighborhoods, roads,
right of ways, parks. There just aren't that many spots
for shade, especially when there are some aging trees, storms
and trees falling.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
We really maybe he should call Bill Gates. I think
Bill Gates is working on trying to block the sun
in some cases to prevent more heat down here. So,
by the way, I'm in favor of trees. Rather look
at trees than anything else in terms of buildings and
things like that. I like having a lot of trees.
(47:06):
So what is the point of this? Is this to
make people feel like they're put down or they're victims
because they actually live in a city rather than live
out in the country where they don't have some type
of urban heat island.
Speaker 11 (47:23):
Really need to replaced that shade, and we do want
to restore, you know, canopy using native trees so to
produce more shade to reduce the burden of urban heat islands.
Speaker 4 (47:33):
Earlier this year, Cool Green Trees coming together with the
community to plant dozens of trees in the park on
Norwood Boulevard. Nearby, you'll also find new trees along the
street Keith Smith grew up on. He's currently renovating his
dad's house there.
Speaker 12 (47:47):
I didn't even know what they were for. I thought
there was just adding more beauty to the neighborhood because
it's a historic district. But now understanding why they're there,
I think is a perfect idea.
Speaker 4 (47:54):
Smith believes the project will make an impact.
Speaker 12 (47:57):
Just sitting on the porch sometimes having a couple of water,
you just begin to sweat, how how heated the area.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Is, and then terrible that you have that. It's in
Alabama in August. You might sweat and you didn't know it.
You didn't know you were in an urban heat island.
You just thought it was August. No, it's an urban
heat island. And some bad people cut the trees down
when they paved the street. And now we've got to
(48:25):
form some type of group, go out and planet tree.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Look.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
I'm in favor of planting trees. I hope they're very successful.
But the term urban heat island, I just there's some
there's something beautiful about it, and it's and it's it's
some somehow politicizing shade is what I guess what I'm
getting at here. Shade is somehow being politicized. You create
(48:50):
an urban heat island. You know, the hottest I've been
this summer has been down at the wharf Amphitheater in
Orange Beach. There's a lot of pavement down there. There's
a lot of buildings, but the Amphitheater itself, there's lots
of trees around it, and it's kind of swampy down there.
(49:13):
And I had a lot of shade. I had shade, trees, swampiness, grass,
a bunch of grass around me. Is that an urban
heat island or was it just hot? I guess, well,
I guess I'm not an expert. Maybe I need to
reach out to these people and asking to come on
the Uncle Henry Show and educate me on when is
(49:35):
it just hot versus some type of special urban heat island.
All right, out of time, Thank the Lord for the
Uncle Henry Show. There will be more show tomorrow. I'm
contractually obligated to come back. Thank you for listening. As
they say in Sarahland, have a good one. As they
say in Theodore, take it easy
Speaker 2 (49:54):
