Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle

(01:43):
henridiheartmedia dot com. Yes, so many things to get to things, uh,
indictments on the local level with the Prichard waterboard and
all that kind of stuff, and just which all kinds
of things to get into, developments in the mayor's race,
all of that to get into that and more of course,
and all the big news in the world. But before

(02:03):
I get into any of that stuff here on the
Elk Cleanary Show, I saw some I had something that
finally clicked in my head. No, and it was not
a medical device. Had something click in my head. I
came to an understanding today that I had not had
in my life before. I was looking at some news

(02:24):
item about medical research, and it was about how women
will often talk to men, their husband, the boyfriend, whatever
it is. Women will talk to men and feel like
the men are not paying attention to them, that they're

(02:45):
talking and the men are just not paying attention to them.
But researchers are now saying that these men may not
be ignoring you, ladies, it may be that the men
did not hear you. They've done research on here, and
they found that women really do have better hearing than

(03:05):
men do generally speaking. The researchers are making the claim
that women's hearing is more sensitive than men's hearing, and
that women can actually hear sounds more than two decibels
lower than men can. So, essentially, see, I've wondered a
couple of things about this all my life. Now, when

(03:27):
I was a youngster, I hate to admit it, but
when I was a youngster, every now and again I
would get involved in mischief and I would Yes, I
know that's hard to imagine. But I was involved in
mischief and did some things that would be considered mischievous
and or a criminal. And I always wondered, how are

(03:48):
these anytime I was, you know, an aunt would babysit me,
or my mother, my grandmother, or the how did they
How could they tell what I was up to something?
It was their hearing, their hearing. They could hear more
sensitively than men. According to these researchers, hearing sounds more

(04:10):
than two decibels lower than men. Their hearing is just
more sensitive than a man's hearing. Now, as an adult,
all throughout my adult life, I have been perplexed that
anytime I was in a house with a female, I
couldn't figure out why females would try to talk to
me when they were at the completely other end of

(04:34):
the house, to be all the way on the other
end of the house in some room way in the back,
and I'm minding my own business, and They're wondering to
know why I'm not responding to them. And this is
anytime I've been in a structure, any kind of shelter,
anything that falls under the definition of a house. This

(04:58):
has happened to me every time where some some woman,
some relative usually is talking about something and they're in
a complete other section of the house and they can't
figure out why I'm not responding, and they get mad
at me, thinking I'm ignoring them. Well, maybe, look, ladies,

(05:19):
try to be in the same room. I know that's
a lot, that's a lot to ask for, But if
you could when you're giving me orders or telling me
you want me to do this or pick that up,
or don't put don't put that there, or don't track
this in here, or whatever it is, whatever whatever the
complaint might be, please please try to remember to save

(05:42):
these things to me when you're in the same room
as me. Because I don't have woman ears where I
can be, you know, out in the garage or or
something and still hear it, still hear what you're whispering
in a in a bedroom back in the back of
the house. I just don't have women ears. I can't
pick that up. I've got regular male ears, and I

(06:06):
don't know that you're having a conversation with me when
you're three and five rooms away. I'm just just that's
just please please, oh now. The researchers also, in addition
to saying that women can hear better than men. The
researchers say that generally speaking, people hear better. Both men

(06:29):
and women hear better in their right ear than their
left ear. So if you really want to get the
attention of a male, yell in his right ear, yell
in his right ear. All right, I just you know,
I know that's you're tuning in thinking, I wonder what
political we'll here's some type of political take. Something. Let's

(06:51):
hear a political take and I'll have some. I guess
we'll have some with me and callers. But I just
had to just had to mention this. I've been mystified
as to why women tried to talk to me through walls.
For my entire life. Women have been trying to talk
to me through walls, and I could never figure it out.
And now I know they can hear each other. Maybe
they can have conversation from house to house and I'm

(07:12):
just not hearing it, all right. Two five to one

just keep it, uh the same rules that would apply
to a swap shop on the radio. We can't well well,
also cannot sell firearms or things like that on the show.
All right, let's see two five one.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Hello caller, Hey Henry, how's it going today?

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Steves, how are you doing?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh? I'm doing fine. I'm I'm finished with my jury duty.
I did not get picked for the jury. I got
let go very quickly on uh on Tuesday afternoon. I
don't know. I guess I look too normal for for
a for an American modern American jury. I think the

(10:31):
prosecution would have liked to have me, but the the
defense team probably looked down their nose at me. Now,
did you just me and that and the three other
bald headed white man got le let go? Okay, you
never know, You never know, and one of us might
turn out to be a skinhead or something like that.
But I can assure you, although I've been mistaken for

(10:52):
one in the past, I'm not. I don't have any
kind of weird tattoos or any kind of uh low
relafs or Nazi symbols or any kind of thing like that.
I don't believe in that ideology one bit. I'd try
to love everybody, regardless of where they're from or what
their you know what, what their skin looks like. The

(11:13):
skin is, the skin is right there on the surface.
I'm looking way deeper inside to find out who I
want to be friends with.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Very good. Now, Now, did you wear any kind of
slogans on your clothing? Did you wear any kind of
political messaging on your clothing?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Now, well, here's the thing. Once I found out that
my boss was gonna compensate me for the time, I
really didn't mind. It really wasn't the thing I was
trying to get out of at that point.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Oh okay, well good.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
In fact, it would have been interesting to see the
whole process through, you know, I had I had, you know,
I had told myself and I'd prayed about it that,
you know, if they put me in front of somebody,
I was going to try to show them the same
mercy that the Lord Jesus Christ shows me, right, you know,
although you know, oh, the Lord Jesus Christ does hold

(12:01):
my feet to the fire as well. He doesn't just
let me, you know, go out and do what I
want to do and think that I'm just going to
get away with it. Yeah, but you know, it's it's
still you know, I would have tried to have shown
extended to him the same kind of mercy and the
same kind of you know, at least listen, you know,
and not prejudge anything or you know, already going in

(12:24):
there with an attitude against anyone that I would want
if I if I happened to be up there and
knew that I was innocent, well exactly.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
You were. You were going to live by the Golden rule.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well, I was also going to live by the rules
the United States of America that we're innocent and presumed
innocent until proven guilty. Yeah, that's the that's the state's
position to prove somebody guilty. You know. So I was
going to listen to the evidence before I, you know,
decided anything, because you know, I wouldn't want somebody just
to look at me and say, oh, look at him,

(12:59):
he's you know, he's this, he's that. Right, let's throw
a rock at him.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
You know.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
But other than that, you know, life is good. I'm
enjoyed my job. I'm enjoying my life, and you know,
life is good since I turned my life over to
our Lord, and can't say enough good about that. That
just you know, that's that's the only reason why I
have a car and a cell phone and all this

(13:24):
other stuff that I have right now, because you know,
I didn't always live right, Uncle Henry. I didn't always
do the right things. I wouldn't always you know, like
you said, it was in the mischief. But I got
to say something real quick about you. What you were
talking about about the women and their super hearing. Yes,
that's true. Oh yeah, I'm a twenty plus year veteran

(13:46):
of marriage. Okay, my wife can hear. If I if
I am thinking about grumbling under my breath. My wife
will be like, what did you say?

Speaker 5 (13:55):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Uh you know. And this also, it doesn't only apply
to the sense of hearing, it's other senses as well.
My wife smells things I don't smell. She'd be like,
what is that smell. I'm like, I don't know. I
don't smell anything, which makes me wonder if it's not me.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
But I digress, but steve to your point. I have
I've also encountered, uh, the females with the enhanced sense
of smell, just like you. I knew a woman that
could tell me when I would walk into work at noon,
if I'd gone to lunch, she could tell me what
I had for lunch.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, it's it's it's pretty amazing. And you know, I'm
marked down and I don't smell. I don't. I don't
have that good a sense of smell. But I mean,
I smoke probably a million marmorrows in my life, and
that probably damaged my sense of smell. I don't smoke
anything anymore, but I'm sure it did some kind of
damage up in there, because I know my wife smell

(14:56):
things that I don't smell now. I mean, of course,
food and garlic and all that good. You know kitchen smells.
You can smell that right away. You know that that's
that's real strong. But this seems weird, you know, can you?
And it's good because it's kind of like having a
Canarian a coal mine because you know she'll smell the
gas leak before you will get you out the house.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm with you, I'm with there are positives. There are
positives to having these intensive, these enhanced senses that women have.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Don't think you're gonna grumble under your breath and get
away with it.

Speaker 6 (15:29):
Man.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
You know, they gonna hear you. They gonna hear what
you say. They probably tell you what you said verbatim,
and don't try to deny it. So you know, just
sometimes it's just best to keep them lips together. Very
well said, And uh, I will I will leave it
at that, and I'm gonna try to get I'm gonna
try to get some knife owing done this weekend and

(15:49):
maybe videotape it and put some on the on the internet.
So anybody who's my my uh uh my viewer out there,
if y'all, if y'all want to want this weekend, I'm
we'll try to have some new content. Been kind of
busy lately and haven't put much content up, so all right,
well we'll just bear with me.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Very good Steve, thank you very much for your phone call.
I'm gonna try and see if I can talk to
somebody real quick before we go to break. You can
find Steve on YouTube. Make it stick the app symbol
and then make it stick dash U eight V. Hello caller,
O Henry l D.

Speaker 7 (16:28):
Man, it's right. My wife can hear missus l D
can hear something from a half a mile away? I
don't understand it.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I don't either.

Speaker 7 (16:35):
Her sense of smell is absolutely fantastic. I'll tell you
what does your mother? She have a good sense of smell?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't. I don't know if she does well.

Speaker 7 (16:46):
By the size of her I can see she smell
food from a mile away.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Now what what did you just say?

Speaker 8 (16:55):
Yeah, Frank can Henry?

Speaker 7 (16:56):
This is daddy?

Speaker 6 (16:58):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (16:59):
That a.

Speaker 8 (17:01):
Fellow that calls in disrespect.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
To your mom?

Speaker 5 (17:05):
He gets through.

Speaker 8 (17:06):
I tell you he has to be. He has to
be a liberal, uncircumcised I mean in heart philistine.

Speaker 9 (17:17):
L D.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
In his heart of Philistine got to be.

Speaker 8 (17:22):
To be that disrespectfulness to an elderly.

Speaker 10 (17:26):
Lady.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
It is uh, it is disgusting, is what it is.
And it is a compulsion. And I think you know,
Steve talked about prayer and what the Lord has done
for him. It's going to take the Lord to cast
this demon out of l d this demon of attacking
my mother. But I'm trying to I'm trying to arrange

(17:48):
where we can have a face to face meeting with
the two of them. I just need to figure out
when she's going to be in her right mind for that.

(18:13):
Uncle Henry Show News Radio seven ten WNTM telephone number.

thank you to the Flora Bama for having that one
hundred percent of the ticket sales going to Saint Jude
again two five one four seven nine two two three
the telephone number. Let's see a couple of local things

(19:40):
to get to today. We had indictments federal charges filed
in the Pritchard waterboard case, which has been going on.
We've been here about it. Well, they stories about the
Pritchard waterboard. I've lost track of how many years it's
been in the news. I feel badly for anybody that

(20:03):
has had to be hooked up there what a just
it's just been Imagine it's God bless you if you're
out there and you have had to have been hooked
up to it for all those years and all of
the neglect, and I don't know to what level of
corruption there is. Uh, let me see if we can

(20:24):
get a brief report here from Brendan Kirby, the frequently
disheveled reporter on Fox ten. He did a report on.

Speaker 9 (20:33):
This indictment alleging corruption at the Pritchard Waterworks and Sewer Board.
We want to go straight to our Brendan Kirby, who's
been following this story for years. He joins us live
from downtown mobile right outside the Federal building. And Brendan,
there are new defendants.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
By the way, we trust the reporters more when they're
standing in a street on camera rather than in the
studio talking to us. We like it when the reporter's
actually out in the streets. Now sometimes it doesn't make sense,
of course, but we still like it. Yeah, there are actions.

Speaker 11 (21:08):
We've known about federal agents raiding the Pritchard Waterboard headquarters
all the way back in February of twenty twenty two,
and state prosecutors charged four people, But US Attorney Seawann
Costello suggested today that that was just the tip of
the iceberg.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
And let's break down this new charges.

Speaker 11 (21:25):
In this thirty two count federal indictment that alleges that
the total fraud was almost two and a half million dollars,
the federal charges extend all the.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Way and almost and that sounds like a small amount
of money, not to me or you, but based on
all the problems out there, you would have thought they
would it would have been more way.

Speaker 11 (21:45):
Up to the board member level. A total of seven
people have been charged, and two of them already have
pleted guilty. The defendants include Nia Bradley, the former operations
manager who is at the center of all this. That
also includes Randy Burden, who also worked for the board.
They both faced state charges as well. Ayana Peyton was
a pritchered waterboard member. She and Stephanie Hunn already have

(22:08):
pleaded guilty and await sentencing. Prosecutors alleged that hun created
a fictitious business and submitted phony invoices to justify fraudulent
payments to herself, Steve Jones, Larry Knight, and Dewan Lamar.
They say that Bradley and Burden falsified payments payment authorizations
and received kickbacks in exchange for that. They also accused

(22:29):
Bradley and Burden of laundering nine hundred and sixty thousand
dollars through a business they created. The Feds are seeking
forfeiture of more than two point four million dollars and
also three properties. Now, three of these defendants this morning
turned themselves in and federal authorities made two arrests. All
five of those defendants are expected to appear this afternoon

(22:50):
here at federal court, and we'll have more on this
developing story.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Okay, all right, that was Brendan Kirby talking about that
at again. I'm surprised it wasn't more money, uh, just
from hearing that.

Speaker 8 (23:02):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
And this is another thing where sometimes crime sounds like
a job. I guess it paid better than actually doing
their jobs, wouldn't It wouldn't have been nice if they
had all just done their jobs instead of ripped everybody off. Well.
Two five to one four seven nine two seven two three.

(23:23):
The telephone number here on the Unkle Leanders show, that's
two five to one four seven nine two seven two three.
Email address Uncle Henry iHeartMedia dot com. Also in the
news today the the fundraising for the mayor's race campaign fundraising.
The news today is that UH Spiro is now in

(23:45):
the lead in the in the fundraising. Now according to
lamyak lambyakmobile dot com, the former district judge Spiro has
gotten more money than Connie Hudson now buy more than
six thousand, seven hundred dollars. So Spiro with more money

(24:07):
than Connie Hudson six seven hundred dollars more. But it's
still there's still time, of course for everybody to jump in.
Uh interesting looking at all the numbers, it's with Spirow
and Connie Hudson. After that, they mentioned h Jermaine Burrell

(24:29):
third place in cash contributions in general money that they've gone.
Money does matter in these cases. Money does matter. Hello, color.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Hey, and Walter and Westmobile, how are you.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I'm doing good, Walter. What's on your mind today?

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Well? I just wanted to to kind of go back
on something we're talking about a while ago about having
a heightened sense smell. Yes, I got I got struck
by lightning and UH lost several senses, but my sense
of smell is one that I kept and it's gotten

(25:12):
better over time. And uh, I can I can smell.
I can smell things from a long way away. Uh.
I mean the other day I could smell your big
fat mom.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Hey dad, damn't you freak? You disgusting. You know I
was here, I was hurting for you. I thought, this poor,
this poor pitiful wretch who was hit by lightning out
of the blue, and he's lost. He said he lost
several of his senses, and so I thought, well, if
he can smell and he can hear, then he must

(25:47):
he may be blind. He may you sick freak causing
me to feel compassion and empathy towards you. Saw me up,
just softening me up like a big old bowl of
mashed potatoes, and then you stabbed me in the back

(26:08):
with an attack on my mother. You're disgusting, It's yeah,
I had to say it. That is an absolute disgust. Walter.
If that's your real name out there, I don't know
if it is your real name or not. I guess
I have to assume it ain't your real name. Knowing
that you're willing to lie about my mother and commenting

(26:28):
now I've had people attack my mother lying about her weight,
and now this guy lying about her her smell. What
a disgusting thing to talk about about about a man's
mother and something as personal as odor. Odor is very personal.

(26:50):
You know this to be true. That's why you decided
to do it, isn't it?

Speaker 6 (26:53):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (26:54):
You knew that the personal tank the very, the very,
but a very intimate detail. Odour is a very intimate
thing in our lives. Odor is very important to some people.
That's why they drown themselves and perfumes and things like that. Sir,
You're diabolical, diabolical, demonic, disgusting, and I I just I

(27:22):
don't know. I don't know where to go from here
other than into a break. I'm gonna to listener. I
need a moment. I need a moment to calm down.
I want to break something. And fortunately everything in the
studio practically has been made in China or Taiwan, so
I can just break it and wait for America to

(27:43):
build one back after the break.

Speaker 8 (27:58):
Yes, I can, Daddy. Uh that Uh, that's fellow that
calls in disrespect to your mom. He gets through. I
tell you, he has to be he has to be
a liberal, uncircumcised, I mean in heart, philistine he's got

(28:20):
to be to be that disrespectful to an elderly lady.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yes, indeed, it's and you know who knows there's evil
a foot when they're calling in about the mama. That's
there's evil a foot in the community. Two five one
four seven nine two seven two three is a telephone number.
That's two five one four seven nine two seven two

(28:50):
three email address Uncle henrid iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
henrid iHeartMedia dot com. I mentioned in the last segment
of the show before the sleeves bag called in attacking
my family in a very intimate and disgusting way, perverted way,
in my opinion. I'd mentioned that there were new campaign

(29:11):
finance stories out lambyakmobile dot Com has them about the
mayor's race, saying that Spiro now in the money lead
in terms of money, Spiro has more than Connie Hudson
right now. That could change Spiro, Connie Hudson and Jermaine
Burrell in the third place as far as raising money now.

(29:34):
Longtime caller Buford lives outside of the city limits, but
he is he works in the city and is very
interested in all of this. He has been calling in
about seeing signs, and he is he's phoned in about
signs in his neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Hannay, my.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
In my neighborhood, I have fought it two prime for
mayor signs.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
No other candidates are being endorsed by any other of
my neighbors publicly. But Henry is interesting because my street
is just outside of the city's libits.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
And again, his neighborhood not in the city, but people
are putting up mayor signs in his neighborhood. I've told
this story on the air before, and I'm going to
unpause his voicemail for a second and just a second,
but I remember during this had to be at the
end of Standy Simpson's first term. He's running through reelection.

(30:44):
And I was walking through the streets of the city
of fair Hope in the Fruit and Nut district of
Fair Hope with one of the old wives of the
neighborhood back when I lived over there. This lady is
now in her mid nineties at this time, I don't
know years ago she was in her eighties. There was

(31:04):
a sign for Standy Simpson for mayor on Sat Summa
Street and the Fruit and Not in fair Hope, and
so we walked by that sign and one of these
old wives of the neighborhood, about eighty five years old.

(31:24):
She turns to me and she says, can we vote?
Can we vote in the mobile mayor's race? And I said, no, no,
I'm sorry, you can't vote in the mobile's mobile mayor's race.
Even though we're here and there's a sign, you can't
vote in the mobile mayor's race. By the way, I
found out a few years later. Many years later, I

(31:46):
found out that the person living there was a high
ranking police official in mobile, so they were just supporting
the boss with a sign in fair Hope for the
mobile mayor's race. All right, so Beudford's neighborhood. He is
seeing mayor signs for Paul Prime in his neighborhood.

Speaker 6 (32:09):
Up in my neighborhood, I have spotted two Prime for
mayor signs.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
No other candidates are being endorsed by any other of
my neighbors publicly.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
So it's only Paul Prime in his neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
But Henry, that is interesting because my street is just
outside of the city's limits, so they cannot vote in
the may oriol race. However, we're in police jurisdiction.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
So there are a voice teen mayor. There are support
for the Kent the only real candidate.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
That they believe will swore up the mobile police department.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
And coverage of all Avia.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Henry.

Speaker 6 (32:53):
I said it before our fared again that I I'm.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Supporting spe Terry got Oh, but everybody on my street
hates Connie Wilson.

Speaker 12 (33:03):
That is all.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
You have a good day, all right, well, Difford, thank
you for your voicemail, and anyone that has any other
report and would like to support any other candidate, feel
free to support any candidate of your choice. Voicemail number
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six to
leave a message for the Uncle Henry Show. Two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. I do love

(33:28):
hearing from mobilions about who they're going to vote for mayor.
I'm amused when I'm hearing from people out of town
telling me who they support for mayor. So I like
getting both kind of calls again. Two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six is the voicemail number to
leave those messages. Here for the listeners of the Uncle

(33:48):
Henry's Show. There's more show to come after the news.
Those headlines coming up, and then the Uncle Henry Show
with more voicemail and more news items on the way.

(34:34):
That says the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seven ten WNTM. Now in this half hour of show,
there is a news item I want to share with you,
but I'm also going to get to some voicemail. Voicemail
number on The Ulk Hendry Show two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. Before I get to anything else.

(35:02):
There has been some more criticism leveled from one caller
toward another. For some reason, the Mad Trucker held The
Mad Trucker critical of the lifestyle of sixty seven year
old Chris of West Locksley, Alabama, recently retired. Now, if

(35:23):
you're unfamiliar with sixty seven year old Chris, he is
someone who, like many Americans his age, he enjoys a
front porch lifestyle. Here's a phone call from a few
years ago that still holds true today from sixty seven
year old Chris.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
That huck, You know, uncle, there's nothing more satisfying, I
don't think than Hey, now I sitting out of here
on your front porch, drinking coffee and smoking a cigar,
and as the cars come by over now and again,
and throwing up your hand and waving at him.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
How you do.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
That sort of deal? That's what Jim use your warm
feeling and said, you know what I mean? Yeah, all right, uncle,
take it easy, and you.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Have a and you have a good one. Well that's
an example, and that's LD the Mad Trucker feels like
sixty seven year old Chris should be not at home.
He thinks he should be out in the community volunteering
and ministering to the community. And he also has been
critical of sixty seven year old Chris going and having

(36:43):
lunch at the church. He's called him a mooch. In fact,
earlier this week, sixty seven year old Chris called in
with a message about how he was at a church
breakfast earlier this week, and he said something like twenty
thirty forty men will show up every week for the breakfast,
the church breakfast the preachers there, which sounds like a

(37:03):
wonderful thing for men to do, is go to gather
with other men at a church and hear about Jesus
and all that kind of stuff. But LD the Mad
trucker weighing in on this.

Speaker 13 (37:13):
Hey, Uncle Harry, LD fifty people, But what if Chris
and Mosley say fifty thirty forty fifty people show up
for breakfast on Tuesdays and then Wednesdays they show up
for that big fiesta food. I think I'm gonna look
at the Yellow Pages, but I'm sure I'm gonna be

(37:33):
able to find this.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
The name of this church under Church of the Holy.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Mooch, Church of the Holy Mooch? Now is that fair?

Speaker 2 (37:47):
L D?

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Is that fair to say Church of the Holy Mooch?

Speaker 6 (37:51):
Now?

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yesterday on the Uncle Henry Shaw also had a message
from the snake Trapper where he was comparing his cat
to what he feels the average democrat is like. So
it was a dissertation from snake trapper trying to draw
correlations between his cat's behavior and the behavior of the

(38:15):
modern democrat. Now ld heard that call and wanted to
weigh in on that call as well.

Speaker 13 (38:21):
Oh Glory ld Man listening the snake trapper talk about
that cat being the democrat.

Speaker 6 (38:29):
It was quite an intertect.

Speaker 13 (38:30):
But you know what, I really thought that through and
I think more than likely that cat's related to Chris
from Locksley because it seems like it wants to eat, eat, eat, eat,
and not pay pay pay.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
All right, so ld with criticisms of sixty seven year
old Chris of West Locksley. Well, sixty seven year old Chris,
if you're listening, look, I understand where you're at, the
whole retirement thing and what you've been up to. I
want to thank you for all the years of phone
calls to the Uncle Henry Show. In fact, I want

(39:06):
I want to share a phone call from sixty seven
year old Chris of West Loxley that was made to
the show back in two thousand and eight. Here is
sixty seven year old Chris in two thousand and eight.
I'm sharing this simply because I was looking up old
calls in the system and I love it when anybody

(39:27):
say anytime a caller sings get they get special points
extra points in the secret scoring system for Uncle Henry
Show callers. So here is here's an example of a
great call from sixty seven year old Chris of West
Locksley Road.

Speaker 10 (39:44):
Tight Huh, it's about ten minutes past nine Jesus Tuesday am,
and been listening to the show.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Man.

Speaker 10 (39:55):
I don't understand some of the members of KAY the
term I learned several years ago when I began to
listen to your show, citizens against virtually everything. As the
gentleman pointed out, I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Oh, before we continue with a call the cave. He
was talking about cave citizens against virtually everything that came
from this public speech about the string of pearls way
back in the day when they were announcing the string
of pearls.

Speaker 14 (40:29):
Cave c a v or citizens against virtually everything.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
I asked, I.

Speaker 14 (40:39):
Asked those denizens of dismal doom to tune me out
for a minute.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Cave see av citizens against virture, virtually everything.

Speaker 10 (40:51):
The negativity towards what's going on in the mobile region
right now and everything. But it does bring to mind
a song from several years ago. If you will allow
me this, cleuse despair and agony own me, deeed dark depression,

(41:17):
excessive misery. If it work for bad, look, I have
no luck. Tall gloom, despair and agony owe me.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Thank you, press forward for the previous message deleted.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
All right, Thank you, sixty seven year old Chris. Please
continue to phone in when it when it strikes your fancy.
Please don't let the let the criticisms keep you away
from the voicemail. By the way, the voicemail number two
five one two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two
five one two one six nineteen seventy six voicemails on
any topic. It's long because they're not filthy and as

(42:02):
I mentioned, extra points when one sings. Now, let's see
before I go to break something odd to mention to you,
at least odd that I would mention.

Speaker 14 (42:11):
It to you.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
The TV show Wheel of Fortune comes on at six
thirty pm Monday through Friday on Fox ten. The show
has been on television. I forget how many years it's
been on. I mean, it's just been on forever. Wheel
of Fortune, Pat say Jack retired, and Ryan Seacrest is

(42:35):
up to you to let you know that next week.

company puts on all year long, different big concerts and

(42:56):

From iHeartRadio and iHeartMedia. All Right, hey back with more
show after the break, Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven

(43:24):
to ten WNTM. We have news headlines coming up in
ten minutes here on WNTEN. Before we get there, we
got a news item or maybe news items to share
with you here on the Uncle Henry Show. Now, you know,
here in Mobile we've got the battleship and the submarine
and we enjoy our military history. We also have a canon,

(43:48):
you know, the cannon there on Government Street. Well, in Huntsville,
they've got the US Veterans Memorial Museum. I've never been
to the US Veteran's Memorial Museum, but I'm the more
I learned about it, the more I love to tour it.
The reason I'm bringing it up is they've just got
a new piece of military equipment that they're adding to

(44:10):
their collection, and it is a tank destroyer. Yeah, this
is I don't know a lot about this kind of
stuff because I did not fight in World War Two
or in Korea, or in Vietnam or anywhere else, not
even in Macintosh or Mount Vernon. But they've got this

(44:33):
tank destroyer that they have had restored. I think they
said it took years to restore. Well, look I say this,
I say that. Let's listen to this news item. This
is from w aa Y in Huntsville. I believe there's
steps sister stationed to Fox ten talking about this new
tank destroyer and it looks like a tank, only it's

(44:55):
a tank built to destroy of the tanks. This just
arrived this week in Huntsville.

Speaker 4 (45:02):
New tonight, a rare piece of revived military history found
a new home in Huntsville's US Veterans Memorial Museum as
Way thirty once my Rewaxl shows us. It's a head
turning piece.

Speaker 14 (45:14):
It's a Sherman owned steroids.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Now one of them. I'm sorry to interrupt already, but
I love this because they started it. See this is
you see these museum pieces, you don't think of them,
think of them as being functional in any way. But
they've got this video of this tank destroyer built in
nineteen forty four, and they're they're running it. They cranked

(45:38):
it up. You can hear it.

Speaker 12 (45:40):
VM thirty six tank destroyer created in the fall of
nineteen forty four to do just that.

Speaker 14 (45:46):
And so this is the baddest of the bad the
ultimate tank destroyer. So it's a very historic piece.

Speaker 12 (45:52):
It was the United States ansor to take on the
German heavy armor.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
I'm sorry to interrupt again, but I'm just this thing
is running. Wouldn't it be fun to be able to
drive one of these things in a Morti Grapper parade
or Veterans Day, any kind of parade. It would be
wonderful to have a tank in there all right, back
to the story about the tank destroyer in Huntsville of.

Speaker 12 (46:12):
The Panther and Tiger tanks in World War Two. And
it's been totally museum restored.

Speaker 14 (46:19):
And everything is functional except the main gun. We don't
need that, but everything else is just right.

Speaker 12 (46:25):
This rare piece of revived military history now in its
new home right in the heart of Huntsville.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Wow, this and it looks brand new.

Speaker 14 (46:34):
To gratifying piece of history. To know what those folks
did with that equipment, and that folks can come in
here and understand and learn and share all that the
veterans have done in their behalf. This almost overwhelming to
see some of this stuff.

Speaker 12 (46:49):
The tank is the latest addition to an already impressive
display of military history from the Revolutionary War to present times.

Speaker 14 (46:57):
It's going to be a highlight of our new build
and one of the main things that we focus on here.
And we're World War two heavy because we believe in
the Greatest Generation and they're the ones that save the world.
And we want to honor all of our veterans from
any era, any location and people to come down and
see us.

Speaker 12 (47:16):
And I'm still with coverage you can count on. We
re waxle wea thirty one years now.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
That was the sound of the tank you heard. I'm sorry,
of course I cannot show you the video because this
is radio and we still after all the years years,
have not figured out how to get the video. But
we're still working on that. But when I see him
riding around in it, I just I'm used to museum

(47:43):
pieces as just something you can't touch and you just
have to look at They're out there riding around in
this thing. All right. Well, I didn't know that you
could even restore tanks from World War Two and have
them functional like that. Now you heard him say the gun.
They don't have the gun working, but everything else is working.

(48:05):
I guess I'm gonna have to go up Huntsville and
take a look at all that kind of stuff. All right. Anyway,
I just thought I thought that was interesting. I don't
know why the idea of I don't know. Maybe yesterday
I mentioned on the show yesterday that somebody ran a
red light in front of me and in Westmobile yesterday
and they came so close to hitting me, just slimming

(48:26):
right into my vehicle running that red light. And I
guess it would I'm I now would like to be
driving something more tank like in mobile. You people are
just they're distracted more than ever before, riding around looking
at their phones. They're either talking on the phone to
somebody or they're they're staring at their phone. They want

(48:46):
to watch the last episode of what other filth. I
don't know whatever filth they're watching, but they want to
see the last few minutes of the filth. I don't
know what it is. But it's more and more dangerous
out there on the roads, and it would be I
would feel more at ease, more comfortable riding around a
mobile if I were in a tank. I would. I
wonder what would it take to make a tank like

(49:09):
that street legal, if you could get a tag or
something like that. It's just from the sound of the engine.
It has to move faster than these ridiculous golf carts
that I get stuck behind. Now get stuck behind them
in mobile. Used to be just these sure now get
stuck behind a golf cart and mobile all the time.

(49:29):
All right, Well, look, I have no more time to
talk about tanks, my fantasies of riding around in a tank,
and all the other frustrations that come with modern life. Instead,
it is time for me to tell you, thank you,
thank you for listening to the un Clemery Show. It
is deeply appreciated. I need this job. I would like
it to last really until I pass away. So just

(49:52):
let's all pray that I'm here for many many years
to come. All right, as they say in sair Land,
have a good one, And as they say in Theodore,
take it easy, all right, lady,
