So here we are together, all kinds of things to
(02:45):
talk about at every level of civilization and probably out
of civilization as well. I'm sure there's stuff in the
woods we could talk about. Now, before I get to
anything that is on my mind, I had a listener
phone in with a news item. This is so wonderful.
Saves me so much time instead of me reading news
(03:08):
items or learning about them, when you can read them
and then condense them, summarize them for me and call
in about it. I love that. So here's a message
a news item presented to the show from sixty seven
year old Chris off West Locksley.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Cool kyu, uncle. I'm perused in the Facebook here on
this lovely Thursday afternoon, and I've come across an article
that was fulled from the land Yap.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
And lambyakmobile dot com. That's that's where I go for
the local news. I go to Fox ten in lamjakmobile
dot com.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
It states that the developers and operators of the Guff
Island and Water Park in guph Fort Mississippi have announced
a sixty million dollars ninety acre recreation and resort destination

destination in Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
The Jubilee Park development should be fully operational by twenty
twenty nine. It includes it'll.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Be fully operational by twenty twenty nine. Allegedly, what anytime
somebody announced they're building something, I always have to wonder
what will be built first? This this this water park thing,
or the fantasy bridge that people keep almost delusionally thinking
we're going to get.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
A twenty acre indoor and outdoor water part with Well,
here are.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
The details on this thing. A twenty acre indoor indoor

Park twenty twenty nine. It includes a twenty acre indoor
and outdoor water part with slides and attractions, a use
indoor athletics center, event grounds, RV park, future on side hotel,
public park, restaurants and stores. How about that? Congratulations Mobile.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Sixty seven year old Chris, thank you for telling me
that news item to my voicemail voice my number two
five to one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six to
leave a voicemail message thank you for telling that news
item to me and the listeners, and also roll tide
to you. I always appreciate the roll tide from you.
(05:36):
I don't hear the road tides as frequently as I
wish I did. Now this, this Jubilee Park is going
to be off hauls Mill Road, and they say it
is going to be according to lamyakmobile dot Com, located
northwest of the junction of I ten and I sixty five,
(05:59):
adjacent to the County Sportsplex and future Aquatic Center. So
this is just I'm happy for mobile. There's I do
remember a time you may remember it too, living here.
(06:19):
When I was living here as a as a child,
and a teenager and a young adult, and then as
a middle aged adult, people would say there's nothing to do.
They would they'd said, there's nothing to do with mobile.
Not the case, not the case these days, not the
case at all. And now this thing and see they
(06:42):
said by twenty twenty nine. But let's see. The Lamyak
article has a project timeline. Let's see this year getting
all the stuff lined up next year, a site work
commencing between twenty six and twenty twenty seven. Next your
(07:02):
site work and then attraction construction in twenty twenty seven,
completion and opening of some of it in twenty twenty eight.
Just just wonderful to get all this stuff for Mobile, Alabama.
(07:24):
We've seen I mean, top Golf, Dave and Busters, all
kinds of stuff. So yeah, good for Mobile. I hope
this thing. I hope the whole thing gets built, and
I hope it's a massive success. Let's see. Hello color Hey, hey,
you are live on the radio.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Okay, they talking about building this water park.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Yeah and all that.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Hey, we're right on the gol from Mexico. We've got
all the rivers run a Pole River, Dog River, and
got the eastern shore water off five rivers up there
and all that.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Yep, the water park for it.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Anybody wants to go swimming, go out there and get
in the water.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Well, you know there's somebody that thinks it's a good
enough idea to put sixty million dollars into it. They
must have done a little bit of research. They They
wouldn't dump sixty million into it if they didn't think
somebody wanted to go swimming.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Yeah, but I think somebody gonna dump some of that
sixty million dollars in the pocket like the rest of
these politician do.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
All right, Well, well you and I we will meet
back here in a year or two and see if
any of that money got into somebody's pocket.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Yeah, what they need to do is just concentrate on
getting that fantasy bridge across there, like they've been doing
for the last thirty years.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
That would be a miracle, wouldn't it.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Yeah, if that had built it, one of it was
you know, if that had built it twenty five thirty
years ago, it would have been about a fourth of
the price.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah. Hey, sir, I'm up on the break. I gotta go,
but thank you for your dose of cold water. This
(09:15):
s is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seven ten WNTM. It is five twenty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes. You'd like to call the show,
you can't two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. That's two five to one four seventy nine
two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
(09:39):
dot com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Uh.
And to the last caller, I did we had to
disconnect the call him because we're up on the brink.
I want to thank him uh for his phone call
and trying to bring some reality. And he was talking
about how the bridge, the fantasy bridge, should have been
built twenty five years ago. Sir, Yes, the the fantasy
(10:01):
bridge that we have. I think people were asking me
over ten. I remember speaking to an Optimist club or
something ten or fifteen years ago and they were asking
me what I thought the biggest topics would be in
Mobile in twenty years and one of the things I
(10:21):
said was when are we going to get the bridge built? Yes,
And sir, your comment about it should have been done
years ago, I just want to underline the fact that, yes,
the fact that I hadn't been built yet shows that
even though we the voters have had good intentions. We've
had good intentions as voters here on the Gulf Coast
(10:42):
for many generations. But even with our best intentions, we
have at times elected the wrong people because the right
people would have had it built again two five to
one four some nine two two three the telephone number
on the unk Landry show. Now, in the last few weeks,
we've had a wonderful learning opportunity on the Uncle Henry
(11:06):
Show learning about the beavers of Mobile, the gentle beavers.
You may remember we had the beaver advocate go to
the Mobile City Council meeting and teach everybody that public
sentiment is that beavers have the same rights as human beings,
and that the public is on the side of the beavers.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Public sentiment is with the beavers.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Public sentiment is with the beavers, and the lady taught
us that they are gentle monogamous.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
If beavers are a gentle monogamous species who form pair
bonds mate.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
For life, they mate for life.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
And live in multi generational family.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Groups, multi generational family groups like the Waltons. So someone
has has called in with kind of a rebuttal about
the gentle beavers of Mobile. Let me go to this
message from the Navco Aria. He Now that is not
from the that's the wrong message. The here we go
(12:07):
the Navco Aria.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
Hey, well, Henry Navco Bill just wanted to uh touch
base about this communist Marxist uh making the beaver sound
like it's a wonderful, cuddly monogamous thing.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Now is now? I'm not I'm gonna try and do
a deep dive this year on the comedies. There's several
books I want to read about the comedies. Now if
I do, if I read one of these books about
the communists, am I gonna learn about their love of beaver?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Is that a Is that a feature of communism? Aside
from everybody having to share and and all that kind
of stuff? Is it also something? Is there some type
of beaver in there?
Speaker 10 (12:57):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (12:58):
You gotta change the verbiage, you get change the wording.
What we're talking about is a flat tailed water rat.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Ooh, all right, now, starting now, these creatures described as
gentle now you're calling them rats. I just want to
let you know Navco Bill, I'm glad you're calling, and
I'm going to get to the rest of your call,
but I just want to let you know that when
the city council, this issue came before the City council,
we heard yesterday or or the day before that they
(13:27):
had gotten something like seven hundred emails, some of them
from British Columbia about the about beaver. So you call
them them what did you call them? Some kind of
a rat in the water wording.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
What we're talking about is a flat tailed water rat
that creates a thing called giardia or beaver fever. And
if you got a bunch of these things swimming.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Around beaver fever? Now was that a movie in the eighties,
I'm wondering. I think I remember, did the uh did
the Bama Drive in have a double feature of porkys
and beaver fever at the Bama Drive in?
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Beaver fever? And if you got a bunch of these
things swimming around and swimming around in Big Creek Lake, Uh,
you know, it makes it a little harder for mas to
you know, filter out the bacteria and keep people from
getting sick. Now, back in the eighteen hundreds, maybe early
in nateen hundreds telling how many people died because of
(14:31):
the evil communist flat geled water rat I e. Beaver anyway,
just change the verbiage on them. For example, Oh, by.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
The way, Navco Bill, this is out. I am getting
I feel like I'm getting educated from just about every
direction on Beaver.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
That guy that that communist on the city council talks
about affordable housing, you mean h projects? He wants second
eight projects. You know what is affordable housing? You know,
when I was twenty five, I couldn't afford very much housing.
But now that I'm much older, I worked hard all
(15:13):
my life, I'm mortgage free and I can afford a
decent amount of housing. Tps are very affordable. A couple
of polls, some tarps.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
This might be one of the first tpee references on
the Now he's not talking about toilet paper. He's talking
about a tpee as in an older form of housing.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
And uh, you know, put him in a field, let
it go, and the city doesn't have to lose that
much money on the so called affordable housing issues. Anyway,
have a good day with Henry, now have cobill.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Thank you. I appreciate very much your phone call. A
lot of education about the what did you tell me
I'm supposed to call him the communist flat tailed water rants?
Thank you for that. I appreciate that.

of the age that he was in real estate and
(16:31):
actually did the eminent domain of appraisals when they put
Interstate ten through.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Okay, And there's something so many people that don't realize
where NAFCO gets his name, even people that lived there.
And my father back in the day before it was
releaving the Navco neighborhood and the subdivision, he said that
there was a sign and three hundred and seventy five
(17:02):
acre property that the interstate went through, which now includes
Lussia Park. It used to be called whatever right there
on the river, and it was the North American Veneer Company. Oh,

North American Veneer Company.

Well, I don't remember if it was. I don't remember
if it was an Optimist club or it was. I
remember giving this speech in the Athelston Club, but it
was fast and it was a very fancy. And I
do remember being asked, like fifteen years ago, what do
you think people are going to be talking about in
(22:06):
twenty years And I mentioned the bridge and they all
thought that was hilarious. The idea that we wouldn't already
have one by now was a hilarious idea to the
movers and the shakers.

Well, obviously you've had your finger on the pulse for
quite a while this community, Uncle Henry.

I don't hate anybody. I mean, I didn't like Joe
Biden as president. But I don't hate him. I mean
I love him. I don't want nothing bad to have
him doing with you. Well, I just didn't like him
being our president. But uh man, this it's this person
all but God wanted me to call him the Antichrist.
I don't think I've ever called but one person the
(24:39):
any Christ that was That was over Baked Ramaswami. And
the reason I said Dad over Henry is because he's
saying everything that everybody wants to hear, not only Republican
but Democrats. Because being a Christian, uh faith in Jesus
tries on Henry, I will be able to spot that
(25:01):
anti Christ. I do believe when he does rear his.

Up bed good.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
But yeah, man, Uh it was hilarious, Uncle Henry. I

Well, thank Snake, Trevor, thank you. Snake. Trapper's sounding in
a very upbeat mood, didn't he, But you mentioned anti christ.
I've talked about this before when I got into talk radio.
When I got into talk radio and started hosting these shows,
every president that we have had, somebody has called the
(26:14):
Uncle Henry show to say that that president was the Antichrist.
Every time, every and and Hitler. They've done both to
every president. And it didn't matter what party I would
get those phone calls. Somebody is always thinking that whoever president,
whoever the president is, is the Antichrist. One one of
(26:39):
the more memorable calls I got was from a woman
that claimed that it was Hillary And this was this
was back way before Hillary ever ran for president. So
that is a stay Treffer. I'm glad you feel like
you have discernment and you will be able to discern
the real Antichrist when he shows up, if it happens
(27:01):
in our lifetimes. So please put me on the list.
If you have a list of people you're going to
call when you finally discern it, put me on the list.

I remember when a stamp was twenty five cents, and
I remember my grandparents complaining that it was twenty five
cents because they can remember when a stamp was a
dime or nicol. Henry got to thinking, Henry, back when
(29:43):
the stamp was twenty five cents.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You know, the postal service was a lot better from
what I remember. Mail got there within a few days.
Very rarely did our mail get lost in the mail, Henry.
Now that the postage.

want to I'm this fascinates me because I've never had
that experience. I've just been very blessed, very blessed to
always have great mail carriers in Mobile especially. I've had
great ones on the Eastern Shore too. But in fact,
I told you before, I've told you the story of Mike,
(30:52):
the mailman that used to read my magazines. When I
subscribe to magazines, he'd read them and then when he
would deliver to me, we talk about what was good
in the magazine. It was great. You know. He retired,
He retired out of being a mailman. And I ran
into him a few years ago in downtown Mobile. I said, Hey,
(31:14):
what are you up to now that you've retired, And
he told me that he says, I've moved to California
and he said, I smoke. I smoke copious amounts of marijuana.
That was the that was Mike the mailman. He was
an outstanding mailman.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
She drives, like she said, like she's running from the police.
I imagine before she was a mail lady she used
to run from the police. But Henry, I mean she
is downright dangerous to the point to where the.
Speaker 10 (31:45):
Beautiful children now not to go.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Out ride their bicycles when it's about time for the
mail lady to get there. But Henry, I mean, it's
just one more thing that nothing is improving.
Speaker 10 (32:01):
Henry, it's all getting worse.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
It seems like now would that be because people are
different now?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
But uh, anyway, Henry, Oh, and I had to go
in the post office because they took up the mailboxes
down here on the Parkway at the Parkway mail House
because the crime so bad. They keep breaking into mailboxes,
and the post office used to be open twenty four hours.
(32:28):
We're going if you had a po box. I don't
have one, but you should always go in in the
middle of the night, especially getting off the night shift
to mail a letter or the bill. Mostly in there
walking inside. Well, I can't do that no more because
of the bagrance. The bagrants keep sleeping in the mail.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Office, so they have to.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Close it all up and lock it all up. But anyway, Henry,
this is cyber times.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
You have a good day.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Thank you for your voicemail. And I'm not doubting what
you're saying. I just have not had. I've been blessed
to not ever have any kind of a bad male person.
But it is interesting to me that the Postal Union
is so powerful and so good at lobbying that major changes.
(33:23):
It just doesn't seem like they can make major changes
to the postal service to make it more efficient because
of all the lobbying and the Postal Union objecting to
any changes. But eventually they will come. Eventually they'll become
It's it's it's the idea that we're still getting mail
(33:45):
six days a week just seems like an antique idea.
There's more to come. I got more to get into.
I'm going to talk about. I saw advice on dealing
with road rage drivers. I want to get into that
(34:06):
time permitting in the next segment of The Uncle Henry
Show that's coming up after the news break here on
news radio seven to ten WNTM. This is house called
for health just it says the Uncle Henry Show Here
(34:40):
on News radio seven ten WNTM. Here we are, and
in this half hour of Uncle Henry's show, I'm going
to share a news item with you. I've got some
voicemail to get to all of that coming up this
half hour on the Uncle Henry Show. Do you ever
get road rage? You ever get road rage? I do?
(35:02):
In fact, I hate to admit this, but I feel
a variety of many negative emotions while observing the behavior
of other drivers and also the deplorable conditions of many
of the streets in my neighborhood. I live in Midtown,
so that would be an obvious thing that you would
(35:22):
be upset about the condition of roads. But also I
get upset with other drivers. Now, I never want to
rage out and attack anybody, but I do feel negatively
toward other drivers. In fact, today I was at a
red light and there was a man at the red light,
and I observed him when the light turned green, to
(35:43):
just sit there. He was on his phone doing something
you always wonder. Is he text him with his mama?
Is he on an app trying to order a whopper?
I mean, what's going on? Is he making a move
in the stock market while he's waiting at the red light?
What's going on. You know, back before smartphones, you would
(36:06):
have you'd speculate different things. If the light would turn
green and somebody didn't hit the gas, you would speculate
that something was wrong with their car, or you'd wonder
if they were picking their nose or something like that.
Nowadays it's always a smartphone. But anyway, road rage. I'm
bringing up road rage because the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency
(36:27):
ALIYAH has some advice on what to do if you
encounter an aggressive, raged up driver. If somebody gets really
mad and there're being aggressive, there's some advice on how
to deal with that driver. This comes in a story
from w b RC in Birmingham, a step sister station
(36:48):
of Fox ten. They received video of what looks like
a road rage incident that happened up near Birmingham. So
let's listen together. So week, I want to hear the
advice on what to do if I encounter a road
rage driver that's angry about something.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
Looks on your side.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
A driver given us some video of what looks like
a road rage incident playing out in your IE twenty
here in Jefferson County.
Speaker 14 (37:16):
So check it out for yourself. This went on for
several minutes, a driver appears to run into the other
car multiple times. Well, the man who captured this video says,
it looked really aggressive. That's an understatement. Your Taylor Pollock
is on your side, giving you a WBrC safety check.
Talking to an Alabama state trooper about what you should
do if you're ever in a situation like this.
Speaker 15 (37:38):
Yeah, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency says knowing what to
do if you encounter an aggressive driver is crucial. Troopers
tell me they can't comment on this particular incident because
it's under investigation, but they do say it was an
intentional act. Trooper Brandon Bailey says, if you find yourself
in a situation like this, stay calm and avoid eye
contact with an aggressive driver.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
It could be avoid eye contact now that I did
not expect that. I did not expect that. Of course,
I grew up during a time where men would encourage
you to get out of your vehicle and roll your
sleeves up and settle it with your fist. That is
not I'm sure we're not going to hear that. That's
(38:20):
probably really bad advice. I didn't know you weren't supposed
to make eye contact, all right, Let me let me
find out. What are we supposed to do If somebody
gets mad at us and starts ramming our vehicle.
Speaker 15 (38:32):
Stay calm and avoid eye contact with an aggressive driver.
It could be seen as a sign of aggression or
a challenge. Really says to focus on the road.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Looking at someone in the eyes seen as a challenge. Okay,
I guess I should be happy that I don't. I
don't understand nuts. I'm glad I don't. I have no
natural understanding of nuts, nutty individuals.
Speaker 15 (39:00):
Or challenge. Bailey says to focus on the road instead. Also,
don't retaliate by blowing the horn or making gestures and
put as much distance between yourself and the driver.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
It's very important. Don't retaliate. What making a gesture? Now?
This is about This is about you flipping people off. Now,
I don't flip people off. I don't. I do not
flip people off. Now if I honk the horn, I
might be a horn honker. I don't want to admit
(39:30):
to a lot of the horn honking I've done. But
this is Please, do not flip people off or look
them in the eye much.
Speaker 15 (39:37):
Distance between yourself and the driver.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
It's very important.
Speaker 16 (39:41):
I know a lot of times we feel like we're
getting somebody getting over on us and we want to
go tip for tab but this is yourself. If you
ever find yourself in a roadway situation, let that person
go by you, or slow down or change lanes.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
And the most important thing, no tip for Tad.
Speaker 15 (39:57):
Bailey says, is to call nine to one one and
be as descriptive as you can about the car, the
driver and the location.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
All Right, it sounds like the advice is flee. Is
that did you get that? Sounds like the advice is
just don't look at them, flee, call for help and
make sure you can identify whoever is acting like a
psychopath nine.
Speaker 15 (40:18):
One one and be as descriptive as you can about
the car, the driver and the location. Your reporter in Birmingham,
Taylor Pollock, WBrC six News on your side.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
I guess I'm glad I heard that. That is not
the advice I expected. I thought there would be other
type of advice. I don't know what I was expecting.
They're not going to give me a class on jiu
jitsu on television on how to deal with somebody. I
guess their advice their advice to sum up is flee.
Notice who they are trying to figure out what the
description would be, and flee and call nine to one one.
(40:49):
That is the advice. And I guess that works in civilization. Now,
if you're out driving outside of civilization, I don't maybe
the advice would be different. I don't know. Now, through
the years, many Uncle Henry showed listeners and callers have
been victims of road rage. It used to happen every
now and again to sixty seven year old Chris of West.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
Locksley, Well, Uncle, about five minutes ago, just call it
a lake, you know, I just got clipped off. I
was pulling from Howard Street out on the main street
in a southward LYAE direction and there was an escalade
to coming down the street and he was, I don't know,
a good six blocks away from me. But as I
(41:34):
was to do the ride on red, he appeared.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
To speed up.
Speaker 7 (41:38):
He did speed up, and I hadn't gotten maybe a
half a block, and he was right on my rear end,
blowing his horn and flipping me off.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Now I'm pausing there because the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency
state trooper guy said this is where sixty seven year
old Chris should have void eye contact and drive away
while remembering how to describe the road rager to the police.
Speaker 7 (42:10):
And then nine to one one which I then got
over into the left turn lane to turn on to
Ashley Street, and as I made my turn, he went
by stood by, still flipping me off. I smiled, have
a nice day and roll tight.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
All right. Message deleted sixty seven year old Chris smiling.
You heard. You're not supposed to even look. You're not
even supposed to make eye contact with these lunatics that
are flipping you off. All right? Anyway, where was I?
Speaker 3 (42:40):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Yeah, Uncle Henry Show. Now I'm gonna have to take

(43:54):

I'm the snake trapper.
Speaker 10 (44:01):
Hey, Ogle, Henry snake Trapper. Yeah, hey man, I see
where as of twelve o one am Wednesday, which I
believe that'll be after midnight tonight.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
Yes, this message was phoned in whenever it was theyre
or two ago that.
Speaker 10 (44:19):
President Trump is imposing a one hundred and four percent
care on Chinese goods coming and.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
It's and it's uh and it's higher than that now.
Speaker 10 (44:31):
Into this country, Ogle, Henry, I really think that's a
good thing, man. And I'll tell you why. I have
never in my life gotten anything that had made in China.
There was worth a crap. And everybody in this country
news when you complaining about how bad proof is, I mean,
(44:54):
the first thing they'll say, is is it in China? Ogle, Henry,
I'm sure there are there are some things that the
Chinese people can produce that is pretty good. I just
failed to see it. So a man, he's definitely making
America great again by not letting Chinese dump a bunch
(45:16):
of crap into this country. I mean there was several
years back over him.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
Hey, before you tell me about the C word being
drunk dumped into the country by the Chinese. I know
you're aware of the snake trapper, but don't forget all
of the stealing of intellectual property. I mean the there's
I don't know how you would even calculate the value
of the intellectual property that they have stolen and used.
(45:43):
Now in China, apparently they don't believe in theft. I
mean they they I think that if you steal an
actual object in China, I think they deal with you
pretty harshly. But stealing an idea they seem to have
no problem, no problem at all if an idea is stolen.
And they've stolen a lot of intellectual property from countries
(46:07):
all over the world, and countries have put up with
it because we it's follow the money they want access
to that market.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Selling some little die test colors here.
Speaker 10 (46:19):
I mean dirt sye and come to find out they
were a lead based paint. They were killing our kids
or at least ruining their their internal organs. So from
jare man China. If you're listening to the old tampor
keep all your crap over there.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
We don't want it.
Speaker 10 (46:39):
Uh man, Uh, he's making America again over you. Take
care of my.

We have one of the highest concentrations of gas in

What about our power? Our power people pay Alabama people
pay higher power bills in Alabama than in any state
in the.
Speaker 4 (48:43):
Yugt Hey, that's what That would be a nice question
for any politician at the state level as to why
is that and why do you put up with that?
And why is our Public Service Commission? What do they do?
Does the Public Service Commission do anything?
Speaker 17 (48:58):
So, boy, that's something to be proud of.
Speaker 10 (48:59):
Obama.
Speaker 17 (49:00):
You know what our politicians have failed us in the
worst possible way. Man, they have failed us, and they're
going to continue to fail us. Love as we keep
electing these decrepit old people and put them in an office.

So here we are together, all kinds of things to
(02:45):
talk about at every level of civilization and probably out
of civilization as well. I'm sure there's stuff in the
woods we could talk about. Now, before I get to
anything that is on my mind, I had a listener
phone in with a news item. This is so wonderful.
Saves me so much time instead of me reading news
(03:08):
items or learning about them, when you can read them
and then condense them, summarize them for me and call
in about it. I love that. So here's a message
a news item presented to the show from sixty seven
year old Chris off West Locksley.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Cool kyu, uncle. I'm perused in the Facebook here on
this lovely Thursday afternoon, and I've come across an article
that was fulled from the land Yap.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
And lambyakmobile dot com. That's that's where I go for
the local news. I go to Fox ten in lamjakmobile
dot com.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
It states that the developers and operators of the Guff
Island and Water Park in guph Fort Mississippi have announced
a sixty million dollars ninety acre recreation and resort destination
in Mobile.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
All right, sixty million dollars ninety acre recreation and resort
destination in Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
The Jubilee Park development should be fully operational by twenty
twenty nine. It includes it'll.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Be fully operational by twenty twenty nine. Allegedly, what anytime
somebody announced they're building something, I always have to wonder
what will be built first? This this this water park thing,
or the fantasy bridge that people keep almost delusionally thinking
we're going to get.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
A twenty acre indoor and outdoor water part with Well,
here are.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
The details on this thing. A twenty acre indoor indoor
an outdoor water.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Park twenty twenty nine. It includes a twenty acre indoor
and outdoor water part with slides and attractions, a use
indoor athletics center, event grounds, RV park, future on side hotel,
public park, restaurants and stores. How about that? Congratulations Mobile.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Sixty seven year old Chris, thank you for telling me
that news item to my voicemail voice my number two
five to one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six to
leave a voicemail message thank you for telling that news
item to me and the listeners, and also roll tide
to you. I always appreciate the roll tide from you.
(05:36):
I don't hear the road tides as frequently as I
wish I did. Now this, this Jubilee Park is going
to be off hauls Mill Road, and they say it
is going to be according to lamyakmobile dot Com, located
northwest of the junction of I ten and I sixty five,
(05:59):
adjacent to the County Sportsplex and future Aquatic Center. So
this is just I'm happy for mobile. There's I do
remember a time you may remember it too, living here.
(06:19):
When I was living here as a as a child,
and a teenager and a young adult, and then as
a middle aged adult, people would say there's nothing to do.
They would they'd said, there's nothing to do with mobile.
Not the case, not the case these days, not the
case at all. And now this thing and see they
(06:42):
said by twenty twenty nine. But let's see. The Lamyak
article has a project timeline. Let's see this year getting
all the stuff lined up next year, a site work
commencing between twenty six and twenty twenty seven. Next your
(07:02):
site work and then attraction construction in twenty twenty seven,
completion and opening of some of it in twenty twenty eight.
Just just wonderful to get all this stuff for Mobile, Alabama.
(07:24):
We've seen I mean, top Golf, Dave and Busters, all
kinds of stuff. So yeah, good for Mobile. I hope
this thing. I hope the whole thing gets built, and
I hope it's a massive success. Let's see. Hello color Hey, hey,
you are live on the radio.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Okay, they talking about building this water park.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Yeah and all that.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Hey, we're right on the gol from Mexico. We've got
all the rivers run a Pole River, Dog River, and
got the eastern shore water off five rivers up there
and all that.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Yep, the water park for it.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Anybody wants to go swimming, go out there and get
in the water.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Well, you know there's somebody that thinks it's a good
enough idea to put sixty million dollars into it. They
must have done a little bit of research. They They
wouldn't dump sixty million into it if they didn't think
somebody wanted to go swimming.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Yeah, but I think somebody gonna dump some of that
sixty million dollars in the pocket like the rest of
these politician do.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
All right, Well, well you and I we will meet
back here in a year or two and see if
any of that money got into somebody's pocket.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Yeah, what they need to do is just concentrate on
getting that fantasy bridge across there, like they've been doing
for the last thirty years.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
That would be a miracle, wouldn't it.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Yeah, if that had built it, one of it was
you know, if that had built it twenty five thirty
years ago, it would have been about a fourth of
the price.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah. Hey, sir, I'm up on the break. I gotta go,
but thank you for your dose of cold water. This
(09:15):
s is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seven ten WNTM. It is five twenty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes. You'd like to call the show,
you can't two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. That's two five to one four seventy nine
two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
(09:39):
dot com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Uh.
And to the last caller, I did we had to
disconnect the call him because we're up on the brink.
I want to thank him uh for his phone call
and trying to bring some reality. And he was talking
about how the bridge, the fantasy bridge, should have been
built twenty five years ago. Sir, Yes, the the fantasy
(10:01):
bridge that we have. I think people were asking me
over ten. I remember speaking to an Optimist club or
something ten or fifteen years ago and they were asking
me what I thought the biggest topics would be in
Mobile in twenty years and one of the things I
(10:21):
said was when are we going to get the bridge built? Yes,
And sir, your comment about it should have been done
years ago, I just want to underline the fact that, yes,
the fact that I hadn't been built yet shows that
even though we the voters have had good intentions. We've
had good intentions as voters here on the Gulf Coast
(10:42):
for many generations. But even with our best intentions, we
have at times elected the wrong people because the right
people would have had it built again two five to
one four some nine two two three the telephone number
on the unk Landry show. Now, in the last few weeks,
we've had a wonderful learning opportunity on the Uncle Henry
(11:06):
Show learning about the beavers of Mobile, the gentle beavers.
You may remember we had the beaver advocate go to
the Mobile City Council meeting and teach everybody that public
sentiment is that beavers have the same rights as human beings,
and that the public is on the side of the beavers.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Public sentiment is with the beavers.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Public sentiment is with the beavers, and the lady taught
us that they are gentle monogamous.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
If beavers are a gentle monogamous species who form pair
bonds mate.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
For life, they mate for life.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
And live in multi generational family.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Groups, multi generational family groups like the Waltons. So someone
has has called in with kind of a rebuttal about
the gentle beavers of Mobile. Let me go to this
message from the Navco Aria. He Now that is not
from the that's the wrong message. The here we go
(12:07):
the Navco Aria.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
Hey, well, Henry Navco Bill just wanted to uh touch
base about this communist Marxist uh making the beaver sound
like it's a wonderful, cuddly monogamous thing.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Now is now? I'm not I'm gonna try and do
a deep dive this year on the comedies. There's several
books I want to read about the comedies. Now if
I do, if I read one of these books about
the communists, am I gonna learn about their love of beaver?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Is that a Is that a feature of communism? Aside
from everybody having to share and and all that kind
of stuff? Is it also something? Is there some type
of beaver in there?
Speaker 10 (12:57):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (12:58):
You gotta change the verbiage, you get change the wording.
What we're talking about is a flat tailed water rat.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Ooh, all right, now, starting now, these creatures described as
gentle now you're calling them rats. I just want to
let you know Navco Bill, I'm glad you're calling, and
I'm going to get to the rest of your call,
but I just want to let you know that when
the city council, this issue came before the City council,
we heard yesterday or or the day before that they
(13:27):
had gotten something like seven hundred emails, some of them
from British Columbia about the about beaver. So you call
them them what did you call them? Some kind of
a rat in the water wording.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
What we're talking about is a flat tailed water rat
that creates a thing called giardia or beaver fever. And
if you got a bunch of these things swimming.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Around beaver fever? Now was that a movie in the eighties,
I'm wondering. I think I remember, did the uh did
the Bama Drive in have a double feature of porkys
and beaver fever at the Bama Drive in?
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Beaver fever? And if you got a bunch of these
things swimming around and swimming around in Big Creek Lake, Uh,
you know, it makes it a little harder for mas to
you know, filter out the bacteria and keep people from
getting sick. Now, back in the eighteen hundreds, maybe early
in nateen hundreds telling how many people died because of
(14:31):
the evil communist flat geled water rat I e. Beaver anyway,
just change the verbiage on them. For example, Oh, by.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
The way, Navco Bill, this is out. I am getting
I feel like I'm getting educated from just about every
direction on Beaver.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
That guy that that communist on the city council talks
about affordable housing, you mean h projects? He wants second
eight projects. You know what is affordable housing? You know,
when I was twenty five, I couldn't afford very much housing.
But now that I'm much older, I worked hard all
(15:13):
my life, I'm mortgage free and I can afford a
decent amount of housing. Tps are very affordable. A couple
of polls, some tarps.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
This might be one of the first tpee references on
the Now he's not talking about toilet paper. He's talking
about a tpee as in an older form of housing.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
And uh, you know, put him in a field, let
it go, and the city doesn't have to lose that
much money on the so called affordable housing issues. Anyway,
have a good day with Henry, now have cobill.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Thank you. I appreciate very much your phone call. A
lot of education about the what did you tell me
I'm supposed to call him the communist flat tailed water rants?
Thank you for that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 11 (16:03):
Hello Color, Yes, uncle Henry.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Yes you are live on the radio.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
Mightifying This is Peter. I've talked to you in person
a few times, Yes, sir, and I'm the fifth generation
mobillionaire with Navco Bill calling in. I just wanted to
you might have to change my name to Trivia Tanner
and I don't know, but anyway, something my father was
of the age that he was in real estate and
(16:31):
actually did the eminent domain of appraisals when they put
Interstate ten through.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Okay, And there's something so many people that don't realize
where NAFCO gets his name, even people that lived there.
And my father back in the day before it was
releaving the Navco neighborhood and the subdivision, he said that
there was a sign and three hundred and seventy five
(17:02):
acre property that the interstate went through, which now includes
Lussia Park. It used to be called whatever right there
on the river, and it was the North American Veneer Company. Oh,
that's where that's where the name Navco came from.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
North American Veneer Company.
Speaker 11 (17:24):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Did you just make that up off the top of
your head.
Speaker 11 (17:28):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
All right, Well, that would have been a good one.
Speaker 11 (17:32):
My dad, he was so interesting. He was so full
of of stories that I really took the heart and
that was one of them.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Hey well, hey, Peter, thank you so much, thank you
for telling me about Navco, North American Veneer Company.

little loud and there I'm gonna try to get us
to be controlled. People can hear us in the room tomorrow,
some speakers, and I might get you to sit down

all right, performing performing because usually it's kind of helter
skelter in there.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
It is it is, well, it's I I we we
never know who we're going to see who might walk up,
who we might be able to throw on the radio. Uh,
it's been fun just talking to whoever shows up.
Speaker 12 (20:59):
Well, I think you lined up a mayorial candidate and
he didn't show up till late last time. Have you
got have you got all your ducks in a rows
for any guests coming?
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Well? Uh, you are the guests, okay, you and the listener. No,
we're not gonna have I tried to get a mayoral candidate,
but that was not possible. But if any if any
of them happened to be walking through, they're more than
welcome to jump on the microphone with us.
Speaker 12 (21:26):
Well, and it's quite the easy for them that you know,
it's very loose by kind of be a little more
organized tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
So wow, all right, Well then I'm I'm gonna pledge
to try and be more organized myself.
Speaker 12 (21:38):
Okay. And then the other thing is that you say
that someone an Optimist club invited. Did they not know
that you're not very optimistic?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Well, I don't remember if it was. I don't remember
if it was an Optimist club or it was. I
remember giving this speech in the Athelston Club, but it
was fast and it was a very fancy. And I
do remember being asked, like fifteen years ago, what do
you think people are going to be talking about in
(22:06):
twenty years And I mentioned the bridge and they all
thought that was hilarious. The idea that we wouldn't already
have one by now was a hilarious idea to the
movers and the shakers.
Speaker 12 (22:20):
Well, obviously you've had your finger on the pulse for
quite a while this community, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Well, I don't know. Well, it's better to have it
on the pulse than in other places, that's true.
Speaker 12 (22:32):
Well, I'm gonna let you go out to see you
tomorrow and don't let your meet Loaf.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Very good, Thank you. Johnny Gwinn of Deep Fried Studios

It doesn't matter how you smell, show up. Would love

(23:18):
seven two three. The telephone number that's two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
dot com. Now, I do have a message from the
Snake Trapper. I want to get to. Snake Trapper is
going to be on the show Monday. He is going
(23:39):
to be in studio this coming Monday because it's snake season.
I have more to tell you about that his Monday appearance.
But he called in about some politics.
Speaker 10 (23:54):
Hey, make care of her, Hey man, I rent across
me a uh Trump hating bleeding heart liberal Uncle Henry. God,
Uncle Henry. That man has got this speech. People turned
us side down. They don't know which leg to stand
on or which way to turn. Uh. They couldn't understand
why I don't hate him, Uncle Henry. Well, for one,
(24:17):
I don't hate anybody. I mean, I didn't like Joe
Biden as president. But I don't hate him. I mean
I love him. I don't want nothing bad to have
him doing with you. Well, I just didn't like him
being our president. But uh man, this it's this person
all but God wanted me to call him the Antichrist.
I don't think I've ever called but one person the
(24:39):
any Christ that was That was over Baked Ramaswami. And
the reason I said Dad over Henry is because he's
saying everything that everybody wants to hear, not only Republican
but Democrats. Because being a Christian, uh faith in Jesus
tries on Henry, I will be able to spot that
(25:01):
anti Christ. I do believe when he does rear his.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Up bed good.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
But yeah, man, Uh it was hilarious, Uncle Henry. I
mean they want me. You can't understand why why I don't.
I don't hate Donald Trump. I mean he's a fine president.
He's gonna be the best one we've ever had.
Speaker 11 (25:20):
Now.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
I'm a big Reagan lover. On Henry, I love me
some wrong Reagan, but yeah, man, President Trump will go
down in history is one of the greatest. Uh. It's
too bad that uh people have Trump de arrangement Sentrome
and can't see it. Uncle Henry the man loves this country,
so I'm not gonna talk bad about him.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Everybody else is trying to do that.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
For me. Man, I'm telling you, I really enjoyed that
kind of stuff Oncle Henry.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
You have a good tay you my buddy.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Well, thank Snake, Trevor, thank you. Snake. Trapper's sounding in
a very upbeat mood, didn't he, But you mentioned anti christ.
I've talked about this before when I got into talk radio.
When I got into talk radio and started hosting these shows,
every president that we have had, somebody has called the
(26:14):
Uncle Henry show to say that that president was the Antichrist.
Every time, every and and Hitler. They've done both to
every president. And it didn't matter what party I would
get those phone calls. Somebody is always thinking that whoever president,
whoever the president is, is the Antichrist. One one of
(26:39):
the more memorable calls I got was from a woman
that claimed that it was Hillary And this was this
was back way before Hillary ever ran for president. So
that is a stay Treffer. I'm glad you feel like
you have discernment and you will be able to discern
the real Antichrist when he shows up, if it happens
(27:01):
in our lifetimes. So please put me on the list.
If you have a list of people you're going to
call when you finally discern it, put me on the list.
Voicemail two five one two one six nineteen seventy six
to leave a message for the Uncle Henry Show. Are
going to take a quick time out. Oh and I
(27:21):

(27:46):

(28:13):
It is five fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.
Telephone number here's two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. That's two five one four seven nine
two seventy two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
dot com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now
(28:35):
let's see I love hearing from callers. Uh, Buford, uh
calling in. He made a trip to the post office.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yes, Henry just mailed three bills the old fashioned way,
actually went inside the post office to do it, Henry, Henry,
you know there's a simple play and still mailing stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
All right, I'm already. I'm sorry to pause already. But
it's a simple pleasure to still mail things. I need
more info about how it's pleasurable, he.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Henry, you know there's a simple pleasure and still mailing
stuff the old fashioned way.
Speaker 13 (29:20):
Yes, but you know, Henry, a stamp seventy three cents. Wow, Henry,
I remember when a stamp was twenty five cents, and
I remember my grandparents complaining that it was twenty five
cents because they can remember when a stamp was a
dime or nicol. Henry got to thinking, Henry, back when
(29:43):
the stamp was twenty five cents.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You know, the postal service was a lot better from
what I remember. Mail got there within a few days.
Very rarely did our mail get lost in the mail, Henry.
Now that the postage.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
Stamp is three quarters of a dollar almost, I can't.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Think of a time when the postal service has been
worse than it is now. Henry my DEI mail lady
can't read or write too good, That's right, Henercy.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Semi illiterate, Henry.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I get my neighbor's mail all the time. They get theirs.
My mail is scattered all up and down, d and
ips and plus.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Henry, Hey, before you go into your plus, I just
want to I'm this fascinates me because I've never had
that experience. I've just been very blessed, very blessed to
always have great mail carriers in Mobile especially. I've had
great ones on the Eastern Shore too. But in fact,
I told you before, I've told you the story of Mike,
(30:52):
the mailman that used to read my magazines. When I
subscribe to magazines, he'd read them and then when he
would deliver to me, we talk about what was good
in the magazine. It was great. You know. He retired,
He retired out of being a mailman. And I ran
into him a few years ago in downtown Mobile. I said, Hey,
(31:14):
what are you up to now that you've retired, And
he told me that he says, I've moved to California
and he said, I smoke. I smoke copious amounts of marijuana.
That was the that was Mike the mailman. He was
an outstanding mailman.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
She drives, like she said, like she's running from the police.
I imagine before she was a mail lady she used
to run from the police. But Henry, I mean she
is downright dangerous to the point to where the.
Speaker 10 (31:45):
Beautiful children now not to go.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Out ride their bicycles when it's about time for the
mail lady to get there. But Henry, I mean, it's
just one more thing that nothing is improving.
Speaker 10 (32:01):
Henry, it's all getting worse.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
It seems like now would that be because people are
different now?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
But uh, anyway, Henry, Oh, and I had to go
in the post office because they took up the mailboxes
down here on the Parkway at the Parkway mail House
because the crime so bad. They keep breaking into mailboxes,
and the post office used to be open twenty four hours.
(32:28):
We're going if you had a po box. I don't
have one, but you should always go in in the
middle of the night, especially getting off the night shift
to mail a letter or the bill. Mostly in there
walking inside. Well, I can't do that no more because
of the bagrance. The bagrants keep sleeping in the mail.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Office, so they have to.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Close it all up and lock it all up. But anyway, Henry,
this is cyber times.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
You have a good day.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Thank you for your voicemail. And I'm not doubting what
you're saying. I just have not had. I've been blessed
to not ever have any kind of a bad male person.
But it is interesting to me that the Postal Union
is so powerful and so good at lobbying that major changes.
(33:23):
It just doesn't seem like they can make major changes
to the postal service to make it more efficient because
of all the lobbying and the Postal Union objecting to
any changes. But eventually they will come. Eventually they'll become
It's it's it's the idea that we're still getting mail
(33:45):
six days a week just seems like an antique idea.
There's more to come. I got more to get into.
I'm going to talk about. I saw advice on dealing
with road rage drivers. I want to get into that
(34:06):
time permitting in the next segment of The Uncle Henry
Show that's coming up after the news break here on
news radio seven to ten WNTM. This is house called
for health just it says the Uncle Henry Show Here
(34:40):
on News radio seven ten WNTM. Here we are, and
in this half hour of Uncle Henry's show, I'm going
to share a news item with you. I've got some
voicemail to get to all of that coming up this
half hour on the Uncle Henry Show. Do you ever
get road rage? You ever get road rage? I do?
(35:02):
In fact, I hate to admit this, but I feel
a variety of many negative emotions while observing the behavior
of other drivers and also the deplorable conditions of many
of the streets in my neighborhood. I live in Midtown,
so that would be an obvious thing that you would
(35:22):
be upset about the condition of roads. But also I
get upset with other drivers. Now, I never want to
rage out and attack anybody, but I do feel negatively
toward other drivers. In fact, today I was at a
red light and there was a man at the red light,
and I observed him when the light turned green, to
(35:43):
just sit there. He was on his phone doing something
you always wonder. Is he text him with his mama?
Is he on an app trying to order a whopper?
I mean, what's going on? Is he making a move
in the stock market while he's waiting at the red light?
What's going on. You know, back before smartphones, you would
(36:06):
have you'd speculate different things. If the light would turn
green and somebody didn't hit the gas, you would speculate
that something was wrong with their car, or you'd wonder
if they were picking their nose or something like that.
Nowadays it's always a smartphone. But anyway, road rage. I'm
bringing up road rage because the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency
(36:27):
ALIYAH has some advice on what to do if you
encounter an aggressive, raged up driver. If somebody gets really
mad and there're being aggressive, there's some advice on how
to deal with that driver. This comes in a story
from w b RC in Birmingham, a step sister station
(36:48):
of Fox ten. They received video of what looks like
a road rage incident that happened up near Birmingham. So
let's listen together. So week, I want to hear the
advice on what to do if I encounter a road
rage driver that's angry about something.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
Looks on your side.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
A driver given us some video of what looks like
a road rage incident playing out in your IE twenty
here in Jefferson County.
Speaker 14 (37:16):
So check it out for yourself. This went on for
several minutes, a driver appears to run into the other
car multiple times. Well, the man who captured this video says,
it looked really aggressive. That's an understatement. Your Taylor Pollock
is on your side, giving you a WBrC safety check.
Talking to an Alabama state trooper about what you should
do if you're ever in a situation like this.
Speaker 15 (37:38):
Yeah, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency says knowing what to
do if you encounter an aggressive driver is crucial. Troopers
tell me they can't comment on this particular incident because
it's under investigation, but they do say it was an
intentional act. Trooper Brandon Bailey says, if you find yourself
in a situation like this, stay calm and avoid eye
contact with an aggressive driver.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
It could be avoid eye contact now that I did
not expect that. I did not expect that. Of course,
I grew up during a time where men would encourage
you to get out of your vehicle and roll your
sleeves up and settle it with your fist. That is
not I'm sure we're not going to hear that. That's
(38:20):
probably really bad advice. I didn't know you weren't supposed
to make eye contact, all right, Let me let me
find out. What are we supposed to do If somebody
gets mad at us and starts ramming our vehicle.
Speaker 15 (38:32):
Stay calm and avoid eye contact with an aggressive driver.
It could be seen as a sign of aggression or
a challenge. Really says to focus on the road.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Looking at someone in the eyes seen as a challenge. Okay,
I guess I should be happy that I don't. I
don't understand nuts. I'm glad I don't. I have no
natural understanding of nuts, nutty individuals.
Speaker 15 (39:00):
Or challenge. Bailey says to focus on the road instead. Also,
don't retaliate by blowing the horn or making gestures and
put as much distance between yourself and the driver.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
It's very important. Don't retaliate. What making a gesture? Now?
This is about This is about you flipping people off. Now,
I don't flip people off. I don't. I do not
flip people off. Now if I honk the horn, I
might be a horn honker. I don't want to admit
(39:30):
to a lot of the horn honking I've done. But
this is Please, do not flip people off or look
them in the eye much.
Speaker 15 (39:37):
Distance between yourself and the driver.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
It's very important.
Speaker 16 (39:41):
I know a lot of times we feel like we're
getting somebody getting over on us and we want to
go tip for tab but this is yourself. If you
ever find yourself in a roadway situation, let that person
go by you, or slow down or change lanes.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
And the most important thing, no tip for Tad.
Speaker 15 (39:57):
Bailey says, is to call nine to one one and
be as descriptive as you can about the car, the
driver and the location.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
All Right, it sounds like the advice is flee. Is
that did you get that? Sounds like the advice is
just don't look at them, flee, call for help and
make sure you can identify whoever is acting like a
psychopath nine.
Speaker 15 (40:18):
One one and be as descriptive as you can about
the car, the driver and the location. Your reporter in Birmingham,
Taylor Pollock, WBrC six News on your side.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
I guess I'm glad I heard that. That is not
the advice I expected. I thought there would be other
type of advice. I don't know what I was expecting.
They're not going to give me a class on jiu
jitsu on television on how to deal with somebody. I
guess their advice their advice to sum up is flee.
Notice who they are trying to figure out what the
description would be, and flee and call nine to one one.
(40:49):
That is the advice. And I guess that works in civilization. Now,
if you're out driving outside of civilization, I don't maybe
the advice would be different. I don't know. Now, through
the years, many Uncle Henry showed listeners and callers have
been victims of road rage. It used to happen every
now and again to sixty seven year old Chris of West.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
Locksley, Well, Uncle, about five minutes ago, just call it
a lake, you know, I just got clipped off. I
was pulling from Howard Street out on the main street
in a southward LYAE direction and there was an escalade
to coming down the street and he was, I don't know,
a good six blocks away from me. But as I
(41:34):
was to do the ride on red, he appeared.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
To speed up.
Speaker 7 (41:38):
He did speed up, and I hadn't gotten maybe a
half a block, and he was right on my rear end,
blowing his horn and flipping me off.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Now I'm pausing there because the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency
state trooper guy said this is where sixty seven year
old Chris should have void eye contact and drive away
while remembering how to describe the road rager to the police.
Speaker 7 (42:10):
And then nine to one one which I then got
over into the left turn lane to turn on to
Ashley Street, and as I made my turn, he went
by stood by, still flipping me off. I smiled, have
a nice day and roll tight.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
All right. Message deleted sixty seven year old Chris smiling.
You heard. You're not supposed to even look. You're not
even supposed to make eye contact with these lunatics that
are flipping you off. All right? Anyway, where was I?
Speaker 3 (42:40):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (42:41):

(43:54):

I'm the snake trapper.
Speaker 10 (44:01):
Hey, Ogle, Henry snake Trapper. Yeah, hey man, I see
where as of twelve o one am Wednesday, which I
believe that'll be after midnight tonight.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
Yes, this message was phoned in whenever it was theyre
or two ago that.
Speaker 10 (44:19):
President Trump is imposing a one hundred and four percent
care on Chinese goods coming and.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
It's and it's uh and it's higher than that now.
Speaker 10 (44:31):
Into this country, Ogle, Henry, I really think that's a
good thing, man. And I'll tell you why. I have
never in my life gotten anything that had made in China.
There was worth a crap. And everybody in this country
news when you complaining about how bad proof is, I mean,
(44:54):
the first thing they'll say, is is it in China? Ogle, Henry,
I'm sure there are there are some things that the
Chinese people can produce that is pretty good. I just
failed to see it. So a man, he's definitely making
America great again by not letting Chinese dump a bunch
(45:16):
of crap into this country. I mean there was several
years back over him.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
Hey, before you tell me about the C word being
drunk dumped into the country by the Chinese. I know
you're aware of the snake trapper, but don't forget all
of the stealing of intellectual property. I mean the there's
I don't know how you would even calculate the value
of the intellectual property that they have stolen and used.
(45:43):
Now in China, apparently they don't believe in theft. I
mean they they I think that if you steal an
actual object in China, I think they deal with you
pretty harshly. But stealing an idea they seem to have
no problem, no problem at all if an idea is stolen.
And they've stolen a lot of intellectual property from countries
(46:07):
all over the world, and countries have put up with
it because we it's follow the money they want access
to that market.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Selling some little die test colors here.
Speaker 10 (46:19):
I mean dirt sye and come to find out they
were a lead based paint. They were killing our kids
or at least ruining their their internal organs. So from
jare man China. If you're listening to the old tampor
keep all your crap over there.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
We don't want it.
Speaker 10 (46:39):
Uh man, Uh, he's making America again over you. Take
care of my.

You know what our politicians have failed us in the
worst possible way. Man, they have failed us, and they're

electing these decrepit old people and put them in an office.
