Speaker 1 (00:06):
Why don't you people fix these old, nasty, dirty, low
down rolls these highways is just out of control toe
up in the city of Mobile. Why you city officials
keep fooling us. Every time you run for the mayor's office,
(00:26):
you're howling about the streets. Every time a politician run
for something, they're talking about the rolls. Why don't somebody
fix these old toe up right rolls in Mobile? I'm
sick of it. I'm fixing in the camps. All my money.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Deleted, it says the Uncle Henry's Show here on news
(01:16):
radio seven ten WNTM. Thank you very much for listening
to the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate it. I really do.
The yes still important to hold a job, and I
refuse to let loose of it. Here we are together again,
me and you trying to figure out what is going on,
(01:39):
what is going on in the world around us. We'll
try to figure it out together here on the Uncle
Henry Show. Now, I've got a lot to talk about.
It was a Mobile City Council meeting day, and I
feel like the city council, I feel like the part
of the meeting today was directed at me because there
was lots and lots of pothole talk at the pre
(02:02):
council meeting. Here is you remember Mobile City Councilman Jock Wood, Josh.
Here is John's just this is a brief clip.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
An event that we have kind of more like a
pothole emergency if we can call it that.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We could a pothole emergency if we have one. We'll
get into that later in the show. Exciting pothole talk
for people like me that you know, to me, a
city is not a success if you can't keep the
dad gum streets worth driving on. I don't care what
kind of economic development or anything like that. If I
(02:41):
can't drive down the road without a pothole destroying my vehicle.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You failed.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
But before we get to that big story, today, you
had locations in Baldwin County with federal government people going
into these locations. In Paul mc kenny think it was
a couple of Mexican restaurants, and people have been very,
(03:07):
very curious about what that was all about. And I
looked at the comments on Facebook, people commenting on Facebook
about how horrible it was that these hardworking people at
these restaurants were being bothered. They're just here to better
their families and what are we doing going into these restaurants. Well,
they held a press conference. There were these kind of
raids in many locations in the state. So just for
(03:30):
just briefly, let's listen together. Here's a guy that works
for the federal government. I didn't catch his name. We
can just assume he's part of the deep state or
something like that. Here he is describing what was going
on today in Foley and in Robertsdale and in other
locations in the state of Alabama.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
This morning, federal agents supported by state and local officers,
executed federal search warns at fourteen locations and Lee making Elmore, Oataga, Crenshaw,
and Baldwin Counties. Okay, Now, because the affidavits related to
(04:11):
those search warms are still sealed, I cannot speak to
the specific facts which led to the issuance of those.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Search worms, all right, but.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I can tell you that they are related to a
long term investigation which has a company with the search warms.
A federal indictment against Caesar Campos Reyes. Now, mister Campos
Reyes is not in custody and is considered a fugitive.
(04:41):
The indictment charges him with four counts of bank fraud,
four counts of wire fraud and money laundering.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
All right, now this people on Facebook think this is
all about just these poor folks. They're working hard in
these restaurants. Can't we leave them alone? Now, this has
to do with what you you just heard.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
The charges stemmed from paycheck Protection Program loans that Campos
Reys received on behalf of some of his restaurants. Those
restaurants were included in the locations which were searched today.
Mister Campos Reyes so leedged to a fossilly certified that
(05:21):
the money he received as part of the loans would
be used for legitimate expenses, and instead he used the
funds for non legitimate purposes.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
All right.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
During the search warrant, the execution of the search warrants today,
law enforcement recovered distribution amounts of methamphetamine, powder cocaine, crack cocaine.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Now I've never seen that on the menu at these places.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Assorted pills, more than one hundred thousand dollars of bulk cash,
and at least twenty guns.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Should we ask for the secret me you.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
In addition to mister Campos Rayes, three other individuals have
been taken into federal custody. Two of the government is
seeking a federal complaint to charge with harboring of illegal aliens,
and a third the government is seeking a federal complaint
(06:27):
to charge with unlawful distribution of a controlled substance. During
the execution of those fourteen search warns, today agents encountered
more than forty persons illegally in the country. Those persons
have been detained pending deportation proceedings. As you can see,
(06:49):
this investigation is wide ranging to include white collar crimes,
drug crimes, gun crimes, harboring of illegal aliens, among other crimes,
and involved searches and investigation which is still ongoing at
(07:12):
this time. I will now turn a press conference over
to FBI Mobile Special Agent and charge Sarah Jones'.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Some Mobile get some Mobile action into this press conference.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Good afternoon. Today's operation is a culmination of a tremendous
amount of collaboration between the state, local, and federal levels
of law enforcement. The investigation is layered in criminality to
include financial fraud, narcotics, weapons, and harboring of illegal alien charges.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Layered in criminality and components.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Today is also a reflection of the Gulf of America.
Homeland Security Task Forces commitment to keeping our communities safe.
As you'll be hearing, we encountered nearly fifty illegal aliens
throughout the course of today's operation. Anyone who has information
about the whereabouts of Caesar Campos Reyes is asked to
(08:10):
contact the Fbimobile Field Office at two five one four
three eight three six seventy four. If you encounter Campos Reys,
do not approach, please contact the FBI or local law enforcement.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
All right, now, this was not abound. This was about
those crimes you heard. Now, there were some illegal aliens
there got picked up, but this was not about going
in and hassling restaurant workers. It's about all them other
crimes from that I guess secret menu they have there.
(08:47):
Back after the break with more Uncle Henry's Show, Uncle
Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM. It's five
(09:09):
twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes from Fox
ten and from Fox Radio National News. Telephone number here
on the ELK Glenary Show. Two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. That's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. Today Mobile City Council meeting.
(09:31):
Another blessing that the meeting was less than an hour,
so I want to I want to give credit where
credit is due. Thank you to the politicians for even
though there was still some bloviating at the meeting, still
some hot air. Still glad that they kept it under
an hour. It's nice, you know. It wouldn't matter to
me as much if they had longer meetings. If they
(09:52):
were to hold the meetings at a convenient time for
the citizens. Seems that the meetings are held to be
convenient for uh, the people are government plaza when the
citizens they should get meetings at night like many other communities.
Can't the Mobile City Council do one or two meetings
a month at night, please, just so the average citizen
(10:13):
can can know what's going on. And if a citizen
needs to go speak about an issue, they can actually
not have to take off work to do it. Could
that happen please? I'm sure it won't because those requests
fall upon deafened ears. It wouldn't it be nice if
there were some meetings at night, just to show the
citizen a little bit of respect to the citizen. But anyway,
(10:36):
City council meeting today there was some magnificent pothole talk
I've noticed more and more potholes in the City of Mobile,
and it turns out that one of the trucks was broken.
Something was broken that they where they couldn't fill the
potholes properly. So today at the pre council meeting, a
(10:57):
couple of our council people and Mobile brought up the
topic of potholes, and a city of a city person
answered the questions. I don't know the name of the
guy that answered the questions, and I'm going to play you.
I will just assume he's part of the Mobile deep state.
But the first councilman to bring it up was the
(11:22):
long time ago guest on the Uncle Henry Show, Josh. Yes,
Josh would bring it up the potholes JOCKO. So Jock
brought up the potholesh knowing that more rain was on
the way and wondering if there could be some redundancy
(11:43):
that's they could have some people helped the city with
the potholes. Let's listen together to some pothole talk on
the Uncle Henry Show.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
An event that we have kind of more like a
pothole emergency.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
If we can go a pothole emergency. I love and
you know what, Jock, Jock knows the urgency of this
for those of us that have to drive.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
An event that we have kind of more like a
pothole emergency, if we can call it that, we can
maybe between equipment failures or just a massive amounts.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Of potholes, massive amounts which there are.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Do we have kind of like a redundancy contract too,
or we can kind of we can kind of tap
maybe one of the partners that we have in the
private sector to come and kind of help catch us up.
I didn't know if that's maybe a thing. I know
that we have, like you know obviously the wide splotches
where we come in and we do those. But do
we have kind of maybe like a redundancy contract? And
if we do, could we If we don't, can we
(12:37):
maybe consider like looking into that.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Maybe hey, before we get the answer from the whoever
it is that gives the answer from the City of
Mobile Deep stay there there ought to be some type
of he was talking about redundancies, having these private sector
partners coming in on the potholes. I hope somewhere down
at city Hall there's a like a big thick binder
with lots of pages of pothole condinggency plans. Emergency plans.
(13:02):
It ought to be this ought to be thought out.
It is a problem that has been around since roads existed.
We shouldn't be figuring it out now, is what I'm saying.
Just like stamps. We're talking about the post office yesterday.
This has been going on since there have been roads.
Have we not figured out by now? Anyway? Here's the
(13:22):
Mobile City of Mobile official. I don't know who he is.
We'll just call him a deep stater giving the answer
to Jock.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
So we don't We don't currently have a pothole patching
contract to supplement the in house patch program. What we
have right now is, uh, it's kind of a three
layer cake.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So three layer cake of potholes.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
The bottom end is doing pothole filling, like the asphalt
crew that's out right now filling potholes. Then in the
middle we have the spot repair program, which is also
in public services, where we're doing larger patches that are
intended to last for three to five years.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Okay, now I'm learning this is wonderfully educational. We have
the the bottom layer is the the going and fixing
a pothole that people call the city about I have
lost my dog in a pothole. Can you come help
me find it? That kind of thing. And then you
have the middle layer, which is trying do and try
to do a three to five year fix in.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Order to buy engineering time to do larger resurfacing projects.
And then obviously the biggest, biggest chunk of the cake
is John and Nick's resurfacing program. So we don't have
anything to fill that. The pothole patching. I mean we could,
we could easily have our contractors that do the spot
repair program can also do pothole patches. I mean we've
(14:47):
we've called them in to do some emergent really deep
jagged potholes.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Before emergent deep jagged potholes.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
But typically we try to restrain them to doing areas.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You know, remember these words because you can call three
one one and report a pothole, So you might want
to when you call three one one to report your pothole,
just don't say, hey, there's a pot there's yet another
pothole here on Immajeen Street near the walmart to go
along with the other twenty five hundred, describe it as emergent.
(15:20):
There's an emergent pothole. It's an emergent pothole, and it's jagged.
These are words they'll pay attention.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
To where they can have a lot of impact because
the expense of having a private contractor to do it
is considerably higher, you know, per ton of asphalt than
it is for us to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
All right, Ben written, Now another council first. Now we
originally we had Josh he was the original councilman bringing
it up, and now Ben Reynolds jumping in to help
with this.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
We are a little bit behind, understandably. I think we've
just took ownership or took the delivery on a new truck.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
So that's great news.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
But are our crews out there working today fixed potholes.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yes, they're fixing them today, hallelujah, fantastic.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
And have we allocated the a broken amount of overtime
or whatever to get us caught up. I think we're
about to get hammered with a lot of heavy rain
here in the next few days, and I think that's
going to further exacerbate some of the you know, already
existing potholes.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
That are out.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Exacerbate also a good word, you could say that I've
got an emergent jagged DP pothole out here, and the
rain is exacerbating it out there.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
So say, over the next couple of days, are we
really going hard to try to catch up on some
of these potholes.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Yeah, we're going. We're going as hard as we can.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Ye Now, I've got to replay this. Are we going?
Are we going hard at the pothole repair.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
Over the next couple of days? Are we really going
hard to try to catch up on some of these potholes?
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Yeah, we're going. We're going as hard as we can.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
We're going as hard as we can can on these potholes.
I have waited my whole career to hear somebody say
something like that, they're going as hard as they can
on the potholes.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
It would have been we would have been at it
yesterday except the asphalt plant was down. So we are,
we are going as hard as we can. We have
the we have a prioritized list based on the calls
that have come through your offices as well as through
through one one. I anticipate they're going to take care
of probably the fifteen or twenty most urgent ones today.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Wow, fifteen to twenty of the most urgent ones today
thank you for finally doing your jobs down there. I
might could retire now after this Uncle Henry Show News

I'm gonna grab your call here. Just want to make
sure people understand that there is a mayoral forum tonight
in Mobile. It's going to start at six o'clock. Fox
ten is going to be streaming it. I don't believe
you can watch it on their Maybe you can, but
(19:28):
from what I understand, if you want to watch it,
you'll need to stream it. They say they're going to
stream it on all their platforms, so I think that
means you can watch it at foxtentv dot com or
you maybe can check it out on their social media platforms.
But that forum is going to be streamed at six
(19:49):
pm tonight, and I do intend if I'm able to.
When I get off the Uncle Henry Show this evening,
I'm intending to watch and see what all the candidates
have to say. Again two five one four seven nine
two seven two three the telephone number.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
Hello, call her, Michael Henry. How are you?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I'm deil got John. You are live on the radio, John, Yes, sir.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
I'm just want to make this one little comment. I'm
I'm getting concerned about this election. I didn't realize that
Barbara Drummond was under Sam Jones, who I thought was
a horrible mayor, you know, with all his fake penny
taxes and doing roadblocks in neighborhoods that didn't vote for
him and all the things he did. So that's a problem.
(20:37):
So I think she would be a total failure if
she's elected, but she probably an early favorite. The problem
is she's a Democrat and the other three leading Republican
and it's going to fracture the vote. So if we
want a mayor that has some kind of conservative leanings,
(20:58):
it has to go to a runoff. I mean, that's
that's the only way around it.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Well, well, it looks like there's going to be a runoff.
It's hard to see somebody getting all of that percentage
in the first go round. Of course, anything can happen,
but sure there's going to be a runoff. Looks like it.
Speaker 10 (21:17):
Yeah, it would Drummer. Someone would have to get over
fifty percent, right, I believe the law is written right,
So when you're one candidate leans one way and then
the other three in another political direction, it's it's almost
definitely going to be a runoff. But even if it
gets to that, it's still going to be very very tight.
And what it will decide who wins will be turnout
(21:41):
because this city demographically and politically is pretty much fifty
to fifty. So it'll be whoever gets the vote out.
It'll be as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, you usually does. It usually does work on that
as well. But yeah, now more than ever, that is
that is number one, is getting your fans to show up.
Speaker 10 (22:02):
Yes, sir, I just wanted to get that comment in
and uh, I hope you have a nice afternoon, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Well, thank you, John, thank you very much for your
phone call. Telephone number two five one four seven nine
two seven two three. That's two five one four seven
nine two seven two three email address Uncle Henry at
iHeartMedia dot com. Now, let's see in the last segment
of the show, I shared with you the delightful pothole
talk at the Mobile City Council pre council meeting with
(22:31):
the councilman asking a city official to explain to them
what is going on with potholes, and they were talking
about how they were working hard today filling the most
uh uh, the the potholes that needed the most help
and they've got some truck has been repaired or something,
and so potholes are going to be repared as quickly
(22:52):
as possible in the next few days in the City
of Mobile. I have one more, just a little bit
more on the topic before I move on to something else.
The council meeting itself, Councilman Ben Reynolds spoke briefly about
the issue. So if you just tuned in and want
to hear just kind of a synopsis of this, here
(23:12):
is Councilman Reynolds talking to the citizens of Mobile abound potholes.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Potholes throughout the city. We know that there are potholes
everywhere throughout the city.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Good, I'm glad you noticed.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
And the city has told us that they are actively
trying to play ketch up. There was some equipment trouble
that was had and now they're repaired that equipment and
they're going to be out playing ketchup for the next
two to three weeks because we have gotten a lot
of them reported. But just to the residents of the
(23:46):
city that have not reported a pothole, if there is
a pothole that you need to get addressed or that.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You know of, all right, you are being asked to
provide pothole information to the city.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
Please report that through the three one one system and
it will be logged and then it will be caught
at some point. Prior to these pieces of equipment going down,
the city has done a pretty good job of filling potholes,
which generally about forty eight hours they can get them filled.
They've just sort of been stymied with this equipment problem
that has since been addressed. They took delivery on a
(24:20):
brand new asphalt truck.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
All right, So three to one one is the number.
You were just asked to. Please report the potholes to
the City of Mobile using three to one one. This
is good. And the forty eight hours now, I've not
heard that. I have not heard that you can call
about a pothole and there would be a forty eight
(24:45):
hour turnaround in most cases. Now, he says, they're playing
ketchup now, so that will not happen in the next
few weeks because they're playing ketchup. But in the future, allegedly,
allegedly in the future, forty eight hour turnaround. So I
am going this is something I will personally test because
there are I live in Midtown, which is just you
can see potholes just blossoming, just they blossom all over
(25:09):
midtown mobile emergent, jagged deep potholes just blossoming all over
the Midtown Ariel So I will and I'll wait a
few weeks because he says they're playing ketchup. But maybe
a week or two before the election, that might be
time for me to call in some potholes and give
(25:29):
you reports on how long it takes to get them filled.
Since we just heard forty eight hour turnaround from Ben Reynolds,
all right, very nice. Now, there was also today there
was a meeting at Greer Saint Louis Market in the
morning where people were telling the citizenry and business owners
(25:52):
about the the Amtrak chew Choo train, the Marty Grass
drunk chee Choo train that is going to be underway soon.
And let's see, I believe I don't know that there's
a lot of new information on it. Oh well, let's
(26:14):
just listen. Here is a very brief report from Fox
ten about what was said at today's Amtrak chu Chuo
Marti Gars drunk train meeting at Greer Saint Louis Market.
Speaker 11 (26:27):
This morning, where we learned more about Amtrak's grand return
to the Port City. Fox ten News reporter Stephen Moody
has more on how the new travel options could impact
local businesses.
Speaker 12 (26:39):
Residents and businesses had the chance to learn more about
the future of Amtrak this morning at the Greer Saint
Louis Market. Trains will run twice a day, stopping in
four Mississippi cities before arriving in New Orleans and for
people coming into mobile, groups are already making arrangements to
make the trip as convenient as possible.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
So we've already retooled our website. We have some design
going on down by the platt form for people to
scan QR codes, to have a box, to have a
flyer of things to do in mobile. So those touch
points are already being developed and we'll be very easy
for our passengers.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
You know, I need I guess I need to get
a QR code at some point. I don't know what
it would go to, but I guess I need one.
Speaker 12 (27:18):
Instruction is already underway on the platform that includes brand
new tracks in the first train roll through next month
and more. Transportation options are not only good for mobile
but for businesses as well.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
All Right, the excitement building for the Choo train in downtown.
Mobile back after the break.
Speaker 12 (27:38):
This is News Radio seven TUNTN and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Uncle Henry's Show. It's five point fifty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes and then there's more Uncle Henry's
Show on the way. Yesterday on the Uncle Henry Show,
I've talked about how stamps are going up again. In fact,
postage stamps for the people that still use the antiquated
(28:27):
postal service. Postage stamps set to go up every six
months for the next couple of years because they just
they just keep just losing money and losing money and
losing money and losing money. And I'm I asked the
question yesterday, why in twenty twenty five do we have
to have this when the whole point of it was
(28:47):
to have communications throughout the country and we don't communicate
in that way anymore. We don't write, you don't you
don't write your your loved one's letters. Most people don't
do in mail them across the country. You pick up
a phone, you can send a text, send electronic mail,
you can call them, you can video call them. You
(29:08):
don't have to send it. So why haven't we Why
haven't we advanced at all? Why hasn't the postal service
advanced at all past the old fashioned delivering of mail? Well,
somebody did call and explain to me why we need
the postal service to be antiquated the way it is.
Why do we need the antique, antiquated, ancient version where
(29:32):
we're actually sending letters and having them dropped off?
Speaker 14 (29:37):
Hey good that Henry's small t Hey yeah, I.
Speaker 15 (29:41):
Was a Scollarbutchell's post office station.
Speaker 14 (29:46):
And all I got to say is, yeah, we don't
need it now. Everything's still good. But if World War
IIE ever really happens, we're going to be glad to
have a post office.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Okay, so if we're World War three ever happens, is
what the caller saying. If world War three ever happens
and we're in living in some type of post apocalyptic scenario,
we're gonna need the mailman.
Speaker 14 (30:14):
You had to have a post office, and I guarantee
you I can still ride a horse from that need too.
I don't care how old I get, and I can
still grow vegetable glug, so in whatever else I need
to do. I mean, yeah, I thought y'all got it
(30:35):
too good.
Speaker 15 (30:37):
But that post office my save off. But when all
technology is busted away. Anyway, have a great day from
any and thank you for your.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Show, Rod Rochadroll, Hey Artie, thank you for I had
not considered what if we were living in a nightmarish
post of acalyptic America. Didn't they make a movie about
that where Kevin Costner delivers mail and it's I've never
(31:09):
watched it, obviously, I've never watched the Kevin Costner movie
where he's delivering mail after an apocalypse. So now I
think I need to go find the the Kevin Costner,
uh male man of the future, and that will teach
me what I need to know about why we need
to have this antiquated Uh, this antiquated thing. Let's see.
(31:32):
I think I've got time for one more voicemail. Uh,
the Alabama bush Hog left a message.
Speaker 16 (31:41):
Uh is this here the Alabama bush Hog?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Oh no, actually this is not the Alabama bush Hog.
Speaker 16 (31:49):
Good even tee sir.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
The Mississippi weed Eater, Oh, the Mississippi weed eater is
calling the show for the first time. Hello Mississippi weed Eater.
Speaker 16 (31:59):
Well, old hey man, I'm over here firing up some
moonshine for our for July party.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Now he phoned this in yesterday talking about a Fourth
of July party.
Speaker 15 (32:17):
For July party. Oh that was last week.
Speaker 16 (32:22):
I've fired up our moonshine steal for our Memoral Day weekend.
Oh that was a couple of months. Okay, I'm fired
up our We're just drinking some moonshine over here. We
want to send you something. DIDJR. Ed tres us up
in here and here on my uncle Henry's show, and
(32:42):
we wanted to taste testing with you there, Sonny Feller.
Once you give me a call here, I'm a herey
coach six O one four two three. I ain't going there,
you go, sir.
Speaker 10 (32:59):
All right, see.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
All right, well sir, thank you Mississippi weed Eater for
offering moonshine to the program. Now. I appreciate the offer.
I tend to stay away from moonshine because the last
time it was gifted to me, the last couple of
times it was gifted to me, it had some gastro
(33:22):
intestinal effects and I don't want to go into any
details on that, and you don't want to know. But
I appreciate the offer. Maybe I need to get the
moonshine just the way and keep it just in case.
Just like just like the post office, if there is
a post apocalyptic nightmare scenario in the country, I might
(33:44):
need the moonshine to keep me company while I'm waiting
for something to get delivered by the mailman. Right there's
more show to come after the break here on news
Radio seven ten WNTM news is coming up. This is
(34:29):
the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seventy ten WNTM.
Thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Now
coming up this half hour, I'm going to cover some
news items for you that I missed. You might have
missed them too, and also check a voicemail from listeners.
(34:53):
Do you want to let you know that? Right now?
I believe Fox ten is streaming a mayoral forum. The
candidates running for mayor of Mobile being asked questions at
a forum and Fox ten is streaming it. I don't
(35:15):
believe it is actually on Fox ten Television, but it's
streamed on all their platforms whatever that means. You can
go to foxtentv dot com, I believe, and watch it
and you might be able to see it on their
social media as well. But if you're interested in that
Mayor's forum foxtentv dot com to see what all of
(35:35):
the candidates have to say running for mayor of Mobile. Now,
before I get to any news items that I missed
and you might have missed as well, let me check
a voicemail. This was phoned in over the weekend from beautiful,
beautiful West Locksley, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Will Patu.
Speaker 17 (35:55):
Parts on this beautiful Sunday afternoon the UH Texas Roadhouse
down in Foley today. Rita back in January was gifted
a certificate for a free kids meal under the age
of twelve for perfect attendance the first semester.
Speaker 14 (36:14):
Of the fourth grade.
Speaker 17 (36:15):
So finally got around the aspires the thirty first of
this month.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
So, by the way, I'm sorry to interrupt your voicemail already,
but talked about your daughter. Sireta got a reward for
having perfect attendance in school. Very good. Congratulations on attending
the government and doctrination and getting some education as well. Now,
I saw a news item yesterday from over the past
(36:43):
several days from the state school Superintendent of Alabama saying
that attendance is up in Alabama. In fact, I can't
remember the exact stat but something like attendance. Alabama's doing
better than I think every other state in terms of attendance. However,
(37:04):
there is always a however, however, still below pre pandemic levels,
so still not as many kids in school as there
were before the COVID nineteen nightmare that was visited upon us.
So but I'm glad she's got herself a certificate for
(37:27):
a free kids mail at Texas Roadhouse. I hope you
had a wonderful time. All right, let me go back
to the voicemail.
Speaker 17 (37:33):
We got around the Aspires the thirty perst of this month.
So we went down there and she had the chicken fingers.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I had the rib.
Speaker 17 (37:43):
Hey, it's pretty dull one good. So I'm sitting out
here rocking, cheering it off, and in doing so, I
has been perusing the Faith Book and I come across.
You know, we got our sight there, the chums of
Friday Night with Uncle Henry.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Now, there's a Facebook group that Johnny Gwyn created back
during COVID. He created it during COVID when we were
doing the Friday Night with Uncle Henry shows during the
COVID pandemic, when people were restricted from going out and
enjoying life and thought well, if people are miserable, they
(38:22):
maybe they can handle a Friday Night with Uncle Henry's show. Now,
Johnny Gwynn created that Facebook group, and I have I
have he is the I believe he's the sole administrator.
I have no control over the Facebook group. What did
you notice.
Speaker 17 (38:40):
Sight there the chums of Friday Night was Uncle Henry.
And there's a picture of you and some rather large
woman over there, and it reads happy Mother's Day, and
there's it's it's saying posted by an anonymous member. And
I think think what they're implying is that that is
(39:02):
your mom. I thought she was see.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
I can't even escape it, even among friends, these attacks
on my mother. You know, my mother, she's still from
time to time as conscious, has has her mind going
some of the times, and she wouldn't this is something
she could notice potentially. This is as rude as it
gets doing this to my mother, implying that she's of
(39:29):
larger carriage.
Speaker 17 (39:32):
A lot thinner than that. I think you say, put
it as normal size, she is what not?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Some of it, by the way, she is normal size
and whatnot. As you put it, If you.
Speaker 17 (39:45):
Say it, put it as normal size and what not.
Some of the posters that commented it might be l D.
I don't know if LD is smart enough to do
something like that posted on the Facebook. So I him
out as much a guy, I wondered. Yeaw, brother, look
(40:05):
forward to Monday's program. You have a good.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
One and you take it easy. All right, Thank you
very much for your voicemail. Sixty eight year old Chris
of West Locksley and I don't. I don't know what
to say about the inhumanity, the man's inhumanity toward their
fellow man by attacking an innocent woman like my mother
just to score some type of hatred points. I don't.
(40:30):
I don't understand that game in life, trying to score
those hatred points against her and against me and my family.
All right, if you'd like to leave a voicemail voice
my number two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six,
that's two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six,
to leave a message for the Uncle Henry Show for
(40:51):
me or the listeners now uh. Sixty eight year old
Chris is a fan I believe of classic rock. I
think he's made many references over the years of listening
to the annoying ninety six to one The Rocket uh
sixty eight year old Chris, I've got a question for
you after this Entertainment News item not entertaining to me,
(41:15):
but maybe to others. Ozzy Osbourne is coming out with
a second memoir. He already had a memoir, now you've
got another one. It is coming out in October. This
is what Fox News had to say about Ozzy Osbourne's
new book.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Just days after what's being called his final live performance
in Birmingham, Ozzy Osbourne has announced his second memoir, Last Rites,
except for release on October seventh. The seventy six year
old metal icon will reflect on his emotional return to
the stage during the Back to the Beginning concert, which
raised a reported two hundred million for charity, as well
as the series of devastating health issues that have limited
(41:53):
his mobility over the past seven years. Last Ryds promises
a raw, darkly funny look at his physical decline, along
with ever before told stories about his marriage to Sharon Wild,
Knights with rock stars like Slash Bond, Scott John Bonham
and Keith Moon, and his final moments with friend and
Motorhead front man Lemme Kill Mister Michelle Pele.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
You no Fox News. All Right, the question for sixty
eight year old Chris about this this weirdo is is
their talent there? And that's a serious I don't mean
that in a demeaning way. I'm just saying I don't
get it. I've seen him, I've heard him, I've been
forced to listen to some of it, and I don't
I want to know is there really?
Speaker 16 (42:32):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Is their talent there? Or is he just? Is he
famous for?
Speaker 7 (42:37):
What?
Speaker 2 (42:37):
Did he bite the heads off of things? Is that
what he did? Am I confusing him with Alice Cooper?
It's hard when you're talking about demonic people. Sometimes you
mix them up. I don't know, But so on a
serious note, sixty eight yeld Chris, is their talent there?
I'm just curious because I cannot discern it. It doesn't
seem to be, but you never know. All right, Hey,
(42:59):
taking a break and then back with more Uncle Henry Show.
Let's take the dad gum break. That says the Uncle
(43:24):
Henry Show. News Radio seven ten WNTM. News headlines coming
up in ten minutes before we get there to that
news headlines, a few news item or two that I missed,
and I thought, maybe you missed them too.
Speaker 17 (43:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Yesterday, while doing the Uncle Henry Show on News Radio
seven ten WNTM and the five pm hour, I heard
the news headlines from Fox ten about Gulf Shores police
concerned because tourists keep leaving guns behind when they leave
(44:03):
Gulf Shores. Now, and I've never heard of this. Now.
Of course you hear about people leaving guns, accidentally taking
guns with them to the airport and stuff, just forgetting
they have the guns with them. I I find it.
I just I'm not in that mindset where I think
(44:24):
I could walk off and not know that I've left
my gun. Maybe that's because I don't spend enough time
with my gun. Maybe I don't need to spend more
time with my gun so that I'm so familiar with
it that I could easily leave it behind like a
wallet or a phone. But let's listen together. Here is
Lenise la Gan and Camering, tailor of Fox ten, introducing
(44:46):
this story about people leaving their guns behind. Tourists leaving
their guns. They've had such a good time they forgot
they left their gun.
Speaker 12 (44:56):
It's police facing a unique challenge.
Speaker 8 (44:57):
They say, some tourists are checking out and leaving their
guns and AMMO behind.
Speaker 18 (45:01):
Yeah, and they've got more than three dozen that have
been recovered, more than three dozen since March.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
That is just the more.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
More than three dozen since March.
Speaker 18 (45:14):
Ones that have been reported. Our house sharek is speaking
with law enforcement about the concern and also how they're
addressing it.
Speaker 9 (45:21):
From the time they pull into town. Visitors to Gulf
Shores are inundated with messaging, rip current awareness reminders at
the water's edge, and electronic road signs asking that personal
items be taken off the beach are front and center.
The Gulf Shorts Police Department now finds itself in the
worrisome position of needing to send out gun reminders after
an alarming number of guns have been left behind.
Speaker 19 (45:43):
On one occasion we recovered three in one day, and
so we finally hit that point where like we've got
to say something to the public when we hit the
forty actually thirty nine last week and one more this weekend,
which just put us a forty for the summer season.
Speaker 9 (45:58):
That since March first. It's a high number and leads
to many questions, some which police have answers to and
others they don't. They say it's primarily cleaning crews who
find the pistols left behind in closets, drawers, and other places.
While they applaud those services for turning them in, police
say there's no way to know how many are found
(46:19):
and not reported or found.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
By so And I'm sorry if you're interrupting, But has
it been this way and there's just more reporting now?
Have people always left their guns behind? Again? I guess
I'm not comfortably enough with my gun. I need to
spend more time with my gun because I'm not comfortable
enough with it to just forget where I put it.
(46:45):
Does that make sense.
Speaker 9 (46:46):
To know how many are found and not reported or
found by the next family.
Speaker 19 (46:51):
In For us, it's very concerning because if one is
left behind and a cleaning crew doesn't find it, the
next guest checks in and they have children, they come
across the firearm, and we're trying to avoid a tragedy.
Speaker 9 (47:06):
That's the very thing that concerns other visitors to the area.
Gun owners or not one visit.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
I wonder, I hope in this story they tell us
what they do with them.
Speaker 9 (47:15):
Sitor I spoke with brought his pistol with him from Arkansas,
but says he takes precautions to not leave his gun
behind by keeping his with his wallet and keys. I
put them all three together, typically on my nightstand. That
way I have a visual of it.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
I can see it. And by the way, I'm sorry,
I know that this is radio and we've not yet
figured out a way to include video with radio. We're
still working on it, so I can't show you the video. Unfortunately,
this guy has quite the facial hair he is just
(47:51):
the beard looks bigger than his head, which I guess
I should applaud him from being able to produce that
much facial and I can just he could hide his
gun in that beard. You could hide a lot of
stuff in that beard.
Speaker 8 (48:07):
Grab everything, throw it in my pockets and my waistban
and go.
Speaker 9 (48:10):
Since there's a constant turnover of tourists, police face a
challenge to get the messaging out and keep it in
front of who's here.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
Right now.
Speaker 19 (48:18):
We've got obviously the social media part has been put
out with the help of the media, print and news,
and then we're gonna work with our rental companies in
the area to maybe put something out message, signage, something
along those lines, just to let people know.
Speaker 9 (48:40):
And police want visitors to have a plan in place
if you intend to bring your firearm to town, to
make sure you leave with it as well. This can
be done through setting a notification on your smartphone, putting
a note inside your vehicle, or as discussed here. Some
will put their gun with their wildy keys to make
it nearly impossible to leave a hot Now, police tell
(49:01):
me that if all the guns recovered so far, none
have been reported stolen. Now, if they're not claimed though,
with the ninety days, they'll be destroyed, live and go.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
From okay, all right, so you have to And that
was how Surick of Fox ten. Thank you Fox ten.
What a just trying to what do you think? See
to me? How would they go unclaimed unless there were
they illegal guns? I mean, would you'd want your gun back?
Wouldn't you? You just to embarrass anyway, I have more questions.
(49:34):
They need to do it. They need to do more
on this, the idea of people just leaving guns and
oh well, I wonder where a gun is? All right,
look out of time. Thank you for listening. As they
say in Sarahland, have a good one, as they say
in Theodore, take it easy.
Speaker 15 (49:56):
All right.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
Later
Why don't you people fix these old, nasty, dirty, low
down rolls these highways is just out of control toe
up in the city of Mobile. Why you city officials
keep fooling us. Every time you run for the mayor's office,
(00:26):
you're howling about the streets. Every time a politician run
for something, they're talking about the rolls. Why don't somebody
fix these old toe up right rolls in Mobile? I'm
sick of it. I'm fixing in the camps. All my money.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Deleted, it says the Uncle Henry's Show here on news
(01:16):
radio seven ten WNTM. Thank you very much for listening
to the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate it. I really do.
The yes still important to hold a job, and I
refuse to let loose of it. Here we are together again,
me and you trying to figure out what is going on,
(01:39):
what is going on in the world around us. We'll
try to figure it out together here on the Uncle
Henry Show. Now, I've got a lot to talk about.
It was a Mobile City Council meeting day, and I
feel like the city council, I feel like the part
of the meeting today was directed at me because there
was lots and lots of pothole talk at the pre
(02:02):
council meeting. Here is you remember Mobile City Councilman Jock Wood, Josh.
Here is John's just this is a brief clip.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
An event that we have kind of more like a
pothole emergency if we can call it that.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We could a pothole emergency if we have one. We'll
get into that later in the show. Exciting pothole talk
for people like me that you know, to me, a
city is not a success if you can't keep the
dad gum streets worth driving on. I don't care what
kind of economic development or anything like that. If I
(02:41):
can't drive down the road without a pothole destroying my vehicle.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You failed.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
But before we get to that big story, today, you
had locations in Baldwin County with federal government people going
into these locations. In Paul mc kenny think it was
a couple of Mexican restaurants, and people have been very,
(03:07):
very curious about what that was all about. And I
looked at the comments on Facebook, people commenting on Facebook
about how horrible it was that these hardworking people at
these restaurants were being bothered. They're just here to better
their families and what are we doing going into these restaurants. Well,
they held a press conference. There were these kind of
raids in many locations in the state. So just for
(03:30):
just briefly, let's listen together. Here's a guy that works
for the federal government. I didn't catch his name. We
can just assume he's part of the deep state or
something like that. Here he is describing what was going
on today in Foley and in Robertsdale and in other
locations in the state of Alabama.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
This morning, federal agents supported by state and local officers,
executed federal search warns at fourteen locations and Lee making Elmore, Oataga, Crenshaw,
and Baldwin Counties. Okay, Now, because the affidavits related to
(04:11):
those search warms are still sealed, I cannot speak to
the specific facts which led to the issuance of those.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Search worms, all right, but.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I can tell you that they are related to a
long term investigation which has a company with the search warms.
A federal indictment against Caesar Campos Reyes. Now, mister Campos
Reyes is not in custody and is considered a fugitive.
(04:41):
The indictment charges him with four counts of bank fraud,
four counts of wire fraud and money laundering.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
All right, now this people on Facebook think this is
all about just these poor folks. They're working hard in
these restaurants. Can't we leave them alone? Now, this has
to do with what you you just heard.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
The charges stemmed from paycheck Protection Program loans that Campos
Reys received on behalf of some of his restaurants. Those
restaurants were included in the locations which were searched today.
Mister Campos Reyes so leedged to a fossilly certified that
(05:21):
the money he received as part of the loans would
be used for legitimate expenses, and instead he used the
funds for non legitimate purposes.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
All right.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
During the search warrant, the execution of the search warrants today,
law enforcement recovered distribution amounts of methamphetamine, powder cocaine, crack cocaine.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Now I've never seen that on the menu at these places.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Assorted pills, more than one hundred thousand dollars of bulk cash,
and at least twenty guns.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Should we ask for the secret me you.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
In addition to mister Campos Rayes, three other individuals have
been taken into federal custody. Two of the government is
seeking a federal complaint to charge with harboring of illegal aliens,
and a third the government is seeking a federal complaint
(06:27):
to charge with unlawful distribution of a controlled substance. During
the execution of those fourteen search warns, today agents encountered
more than forty persons illegally in the country. Those persons
have been detained pending deportation proceedings. As you can see,
(06:49):
this investigation is wide ranging to include white collar crimes,
drug crimes, gun crimes, harboring of illegal aliens, among other crimes,
and involved searches and investigation which is still ongoing at
(07:12):
this time. I will now turn a press conference over
to FBI Mobile Special Agent and charge Sarah Jones'.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Some Mobile get some Mobile action into this press conference.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Good afternoon. Today's operation is a culmination of a tremendous
amount of collaboration between the state, local, and federal levels
of law enforcement. The investigation is layered in criminality to
include financial fraud, narcotics, weapons, and harboring of illegal alien charges.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Layered in criminality and components.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Today is also a reflection of the Gulf of America.
Homeland Security Task Forces commitment to keeping our communities safe.
As you'll be hearing, we encountered nearly fifty illegal aliens
throughout the course of today's operation. Anyone who has information
about the whereabouts of Caesar Campos Reyes is asked to
(08:10):
contact the Fbimobile Field Office at two five one four
three eight three six seventy four. If you encounter Campos Reys,
do not approach, please contact the FBI or local law enforcement.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
All right, now, this was not abound. This was about
those crimes you heard. Now, there were some illegal aliens
there got picked up, but this was not about going
in and hassling restaurant workers. It's about all them other
crimes from that I guess secret menu they have there.
(08:47):
Back after the break with more Uncle Henry's Show, Uncle
Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM. It's five
(09:09):
twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes from Fox
ten and from Fox Radio National News. Telephone number here
on the ELK Glenary Show. Two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. That's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. Today Mobile City Council meeting.
(09:31):
Another blessing that the meeting was less than an hour,
so I want to I want to give credit where
credit is due. Thank you to the politicians for even
though there was still some bloviating at the meeting, still
some hot air. Still glad that they kept it under
an hour. It's nice, you know. It wouldn't matter to
me as much if they had longer meetings. If they
(09:52):
were to hold the meetings at a convenient time for
the citizens. Seems that the meetings are held to be
convenient for uh, the people are government plaza when the
citizens they should get meetings at night like many other communities.
Can't the Mobile City Council do one or two meetings
a month at night, please, just so the average citizen
(10:13):
can can know what's going on. And if a citizen
needs to go speak about an issue, they can actually
not have to take off work to do it. Could
that happen please? I'm sure it won't because those requests
fall upon deafened ears. It wouldn't it be nice if
there were some meetings at night, just to show the
citizen a little bit of respect to the citizen. But anyway,
(10:36):
City council meeting today there was some magnificent pothole talk
I've noticed more and more potholes in the City of Mobile,
and it turns out that one of the trucks was broken.
Something was broken that they where they couldn't fill the
potholes properly. So today at the pre council meeting, a
(10:57):
couple of our council people and Mobile brought up the
topic of potholes, and a city of a city person
answered the questions. I don't know the name of the
guy that answered the questions, and I'm going to play you.
I will just assume he's part of the Mobile deep state.
But the first councilman to bring it up was the
(11:22):
long time ago guest on the Uncle Henry Show, Josh. Yes,
Josh would bring it up the potholes JOCKO. So Jock
brought up the potholesh knowing that more rain was on
the way and wondering if there could be some redundancy
(11:43):
that's they could have some people helped the city with
the potholes. Let's listen together to some pothole talk on
the Uncle Henry Show.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
An event that we have kind of more like a
pothole emergency.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
If we can go a pothole emergency. I love and
you know what, Jock, Jock knows the urgency of this
for those of us that have to drive.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
An event that we have kind of more like a
pothole emergency, if we can call it that, we can
maybe between equipment failures or just a massive amounts.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Of potholes, massive amounts which there are.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Do we have kind of like a redundancy contract too,
or we can kind of we can kind of tap
maybe one of the partners that we have in the
private sector to come and kind of help catch us up.
I didn't know if that's maybe a thing. I know
that we have, like you know obviously the wide splotches
where we come in and we do those. But do
we have kind of maybe like a redundancy contract? And
if we do, could we If we don't, can we
(12:37):
maybe consider like looking into that.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Maybe hey, before we get the answer from the whoever
it is that gives the answer from the City of
Mobile Deep stay there there ought to be some type
of he was talking about redundancies, having these private sector
partners coming in on the potholes. I hope somewhere down
at city Hall there's a like a big thick binder
with lots of pages of pothole condinggency plans. Emergency plans.
(13:02):
It ought to be this ought to be thought out.
It is a problem that has been around since roads existed.
We shouldn't be figuring it out now, is what I'm saying.
Just like stamps. We're talking about the post office yesterday.
This has been going on since there have been roads.
Have we not figured out by now? Anyway? Here's the
(13:22):
Mobile City of Mobile official. I don't know who he is.
We'll just call him a deep stater giving the answer
to Jock.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
So we don't We don't currently have a pothole patching
contract to supplement the in house patch program. What we
have right now is, uh, it's kind of a three
layer cake.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
So three layer cake of potholes.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
The bottom end is doing pothole filling, like the asphalt
crew that's out right now filling potholes. Then in the
middle we have the spot repair program, which is also
in public services, where we're doing larger patches that are
intended to last for three to five years.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Okay, now I'm learning this is wonderfully educational. We have
the the bottom layer is the the going and fixing
a pothole that people call the city about I have
lost my dog in a pothole. Can you come help
me find it? That kind of thing. And then you
have the middle layer, which is trying do and try
to do a three to five year fix in.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Order to buy engineering time to do larger resurfacing projects.
And then obviously the biggest, biggest chunk of the cake
is John and Nick's resurfacing program. So we don't have
anything to fill that. The pothole patching. I mean we could,
we could easily have our contractors that do the spot
repair program can also do pothole patches. I mean we've
(14:47):
we've called them in to do some emergent really deep
jagged potholes.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Before emergent deep jagged potholes.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
But typically we try to restrain them to doing areas.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You know, remember these words because you can call three
one one and report a pothole, So you might want
to when you call three one one to report your pothole,
just don't say, hey, there's a pot there's yet another
pothole here on Immajeen Street near the walmart to go
along with the other twenty five hundred, describe it as emergent.
(15:20):
There's an emergent pothole. It's an emergent pothole, and it's jagged.
These are words they'll pay attention.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
To where they can have a lot of impact because
the expense of having a private contractor to do it
is considerably higher, you know, per ton of asphalt than
it is for us to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
All right, Ben written, Now another council first. Now we
originally we had Josh he was the original councilman bringing
it up, and now Ben Reynolds jumping in to help
with this.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
We are a little bit behind, understandably. I think we've
just took ownership or took the delivery on a new truck.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
So that's great news.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
But are our crews out there working today fixed potholes.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yes, they're fixing them today, hallelujah, fantastic.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
And have we allocated the a broken amount of overtime
or whatever to get us caught up. I think we're
about to get hammered with a lot of heavy rain
here in the next few days, and I think that's
going to further exacerbate some of the you know, already
existing potholes.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
That are out.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Exacerbate also a good word, you could say that I've
got an emergent jagged DP pothole out here, and the
rain is exacerbating it out there.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
So say, over the next couple of days, are we
really going hard to try to catch up on some
of these potholes.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Yeah, we're going. We're going as hard as we can.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Ye Now, I've got to replay this. Are we going?
Are we going hard at the pothole repair.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
Over the next couple of days? Are we really going
hard to try to catch up on some of these potholes?
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Yeah, we're going. We're going as hard as we can.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
We're going as hard as we can can on these potholes.
I have waited my whole career to hear somebody say
something like that, they're going as hard as they can
on the potholes.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
It would have been we would have been at it
yesterday except the asphalt plant was down. So we are,
we are going as hard as we can. We have
the we have a prioritized list based on the calls
that have come through your offices as well as through
through one one. I anticipate they're going to take care
of probably the fifteen or twenty most urgent ones today.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Wow, fifteen to twenty of the most urgent ones today
thank you for finally doing your jobs down there. I
might could retire now after this Uncle Henry Show News

I'm gonna grab your call here. Just want to make
sure people understand that there is a mayoral forum tonight
in Mobile. It's going to start at six o'clock. Fox
ten is going to be streaming it. I don't believe
you can watch it on their Maybe you can, but
(19:28):
from what I understand, if you want to watch it,
you'll need to stream it. They say they're going to
stream it on all their platforms, so I think that
means you can watch it at foxtentv dot com or
you maybe can check it out on their social media platforms.
But that forum is going to be streamed at six
(19:49):
pm tonight, and I do intend if I'm able to.
When I get off the Uncle Henry Show this evening,
I'm intending to watch and see what all the candidates
have to say. Again two five one four seven nine
two seven two three the telephone number.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
Hello, call her, Michael Henry. How are you?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I'm deil got John. You are live on the radio, John, Yes, sir.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
I'm just want to make this one little comment. I'm
I'm getting concerned about this election. I didn't realize that
Barbara Drummond was under Sam Jones, who I thought was
a horrible mayor, you know, with all his fake penny
taxes and doing roadblocks in neighborhoods that didn't vote for
him and all the things he did. So that's a problem.
(20:37):
So I think she would be a total failure if
she's elected, but she probably an early favorite. The problem
is she's a Democrat and the other three leading Republican
and it's going to fracture the vote. So if we
want a mayor that has some kind of conservative leanings,
(20:58):
it has to go to a runoff. I mean, that's
that's the only way around it.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Well, well, it looks like there's going to be a runoff.
It's hard to see somebody getting all of that percentage
in the first go round. Of course, anything can happen,
but sure there's going to be a runoff. Looks like it.
Speaker 10 (21:17):
Yeah, it would Drummer. Someone would have to get over
fifty percent, right, I believe the law is written right,
So when you're one candidate leans one way and then
the other three in another political direction, it's it's almost
definitely going to be a runoff. But even if it
gets to that, it's still going to be very very tight.
And what it will decide who wins will be turnout
(21:41):
because this city demographically and politically is pretty much fifty
to fifty. So it'll be whoever gets the vote out.
It'll be as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, you usually does. It usually does work on that
as well. But yeah, now more than ever, that is
that is number one, is getting your fans to show up.
Speaker 10 (22:02):
Yes, sir, I just wanted to get that comment in
and uh, I hope you have a nice afternoon, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Well, thank you, John, thank you very much for your
phone call. Telephone number two five one four seven nine
two seven two three. That's two five one four seven
nine two seven two three email address Uncle Henry at
iHeartMedia dot com. Now, let's see in the last segment
of the show, I shared with you the delightful pothole
talk at the Mobile City Council pre council meeting with
(22:31):
the councilman asking a city official to explain to them
what is going on with potholes, and they were talking
about how they were working hard today filling the most
uh uh, the the potholes that needed the most help
and they've got some truck has been repaired or something,
and so potholes are going to be repared as quickly
(22:52):
as possible in the next few days in the City
of Mobile. I have one more, just a little bit
more on the topic before I move on to something else.
The council meeting itself, Councilman Ben Reynolds spoke briefly about
the issue. So if you just tuned in and want
to hear just kind of a synopsis of this, here
(23:12):
is Councilman Reynolds talking to the citizens of Mobile abound potholes.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Potholes throughout the city. We know that there are potholes
everywhere throughout the city.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Good, I'm glad you noticed.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
And the city has told us that they are actively
trying to play ketch up. There was some equipment trouble
that was had and now they're repaired that equipment and
they're going to be out playing ketchup for the next
two to three weeks because we have gotten a lot
of them reported. But just to the residents of the
(23:46):
city that have not reported a pothole, if there is
a pothole that you need to get addressed or that.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You know of, all right, you are being asked to
provide pothole information to the city.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
Please report that through the three one one system and
it will be logged and then it will be caught
at some point. Prior to these pieces of equipment going down,
the city has done a pretty good job of filling potholes,
which generally about forty eight hours they can get them filled.
They've just sort of been stymied with this equipment problem
that has since been addressed. They took delivery on a
(24:20):
brand new asphalt truck.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
All right, So three to one one is the number.
You were just asked to. Please report the potholes to
the City of Mobile using three to one one. This
is good. And the forty eight hours now, I've not
heard that. I have not heard that you can call
about a pothole and there would be a forty eight
(24:45):
hour turnaround in most cases. Now, he says, they're playing
ketchup now, so that will not happen in the next
few weeks because they're playing ketchup. But in the future, allegedly,
allegedly in the future, forty eight hour turnaround. So I
am going this is something I will personally test because
there are I live in Midtown, which is just you
can see potholes just blossoming, just they blossom all over
(25:09):
midtown mobile emergent, jagged deep potholes just blossoming all over
the Midtown Ariel So I will and I'll wait a
few weeks because he says they're playing ketchup. But maybe
a week or two before the election, that might be
time for me to call in some potholes and give
(25:29):
you reports on how long it takes to get them filled.
Since we just heard forty eight hour turnaround from Ben Reynolds,
all right, very nice. Now, there was also today there
was a meeting at Greer Saint Louis Market in the
morning where people were telling the citizenry and business owners
(25:52):
about the the Amtrak chew Choo train, the Marty Grass
drunk chee Choo train that is going to be underway soon.
And let's see, I believe I don't know that there's
a lot of new information on it. Oh well, let's
(26:14):
just listen. Here is a very brief report from Fox
ten about what was said at today's Amtrak chu Chuo
Marti Gars drunk train meeting at Greer Saint Louis Market.
Speaker 11 (26:27):
This morning, where we learned more about Amtrak's grand return
to the Port City. Fox ten News reporter Stephen Moody
has more on how the new travel options could impact
local businesses.
Speaker 12 (26:39):
Residents and businesses had the chance to learn more about
the future of Amtrak this morning at the Greer Saint
Louis Market. Trains will run twice a day, stopping in
four Mississippi cities before arriving in New Orleans and for
people coming into mobile, groups are already making arrangements to
make the trip as convenient as possible.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
So we've already retooled our website. We have some design
going on down by the platt form for people to
scan QR codes, to have a box, to have a
flyer of things to do in mobile. So those touch
points are already being developed and we'll be very easy
for our passengers.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
You know, I need I guess I need to get
a QR code at some point. I don't know what
it would go to, but I guess I need one.
Speaker 12 (27:18):
Instruction is already underway on the platform that includes brand
new tracks in the first train roll through next month
and more. Transportation options are not only good for mobile
but for businesses as well.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
All Right, the excitement building for the Choo train in downtown.
Mobile back after the break.
Speaker 12 (27:38):
This is News Radio seven TUNTN and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Uncle Henry's Show. It's five point fifty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes and then there's more Uncle Henry's
Show on the way. Yesterday on the Uncle Henry Show,
I've talked about how stamps are going up again. In fact,
postage stamps for the people that still use the antiquated
(28:27):
postal service. Postage stamps set to go up every six
months for the next couple of years because they just
they just keep just losing money and losing money and
losing money and losing money. And I'm I asked the
question yesterday, why in twenty twenty five do we have
to have this when the whole point of it was
(28:47):
to have communications throughout the country and we don't communicate
in that way anymore. We don't write, you don't you
don't write your your loved one's letters. Most people don't
do in mail them across the country. You pick up
a phone, you can send a text, send electronic mail,
you can call them, you can video call them. You
(29:08):
don't have to send it. So why haven't we Why
haven't we advanced at all? Why hasn't the postal service
advanced at all past the old fashioned delivering of mail? Well,
somebody did call and explain to me why we need
the postal service to be antiquated the way it is.
Why do we need the antique, antiquated, ancient version where
(29:32):
we're actually sending letters and having them dropped off?
Speaker 14 (29:37):
Hey good that Henry's small t Hey yeah, I.
Speaker 15 (29:41):
Was a Scollarbutchell's post office station.
Speaker 14 (29:46):
And all I got to say is, yeah, we don't
need it now. Everything's still good. But if World War
IIE ever really happens, we're going to be glad to
have a post office.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Okay, so if we're World War three ever happens, is
what the caller saying. If world War three ever happens
and we're in living in some type of post apocalyptic scenario,
we're gonna need the mailman.
Speaker 14 (30:14):
You had to have a post office, and I guarantee
you I can still ride a horse from that need too.
I don't care how old I get, and I can
still grow vegetable glug, so in whatever else I need
to do. I mean, yeah, I thought y'all got it
(30:35):
too good.
Speaker 15 (30:37):
But that post office my save off. But when all
technology is busted away. Anyway, have a great day from
any and thank you for your.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Show, Rod Rochadroll, Hey Artie, thank you for I had
not considered what if we were living in a nightmarish
post of acalyptic America. Didn't they make a movie about
that where Kevin Costner delivers mail and it's I've never
(31:09):
watched it, obviously, I've never watched the Kevin Costner movie
where he's delivering mail after an apocalypse. So now I
think I need to go find the the Kevin Costner,
uh male man of the future, and that will teach
me what I need to know about why we need
to have this antiquated Uh, this antiquated thing. Let's see.
(31:32):
I think I've got time for one more voicemail. Uh,
the Alabama bush Hog left a message.
Speaker 16 (31:41):
Uh is this here the Alabama bush Hog?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Oh no, actually this is not the Alabama bush Hog.
Speaker 16 (31:49):
Good even tee sir.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
The Mississippi weed Eater, Oh, the Mississippi weed eater is
calling the show for the first time. Hello Mississippi weed Eater.
Speaker 16 (31:59):
Well, old hey man, I'm over here firing up some
moonshine for our for July party.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Now he phoned this in yesterday talking about a Fourth
of July party.
Speaker 15 (32:17):
For July party. Oh that was last week.
Speaker 16 (32:22):
I've fired up our moonshine steal for our Memoral Day weekend.
Oh that was a couple of months. Okay, I'm fired
up our We're just drinking some moonshine over here. We
want to send you something. DIDJR. Ed tres us up
in here and here on my uncle Henry's show, and
(32:42):
we wanted to taste testing with you there, Sonny Feller.
Once you give me a call here, I'm a herey
coach six O one four two three. I ain't going there,
you go, sir.
Speaker 10 (32:59):
All right, see.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
All right, well sir, thank you Mississippi weed Eater for
offering moonshine to the program. Now. I appreciate the offer.
I tend to stay away from moonshine because the last
time it was gifted to me, the last couple of
times it was gifted to me, it had some gastro
(33:22):
intestinal effects and I don't want to go into any
details on that, and you don't want to know. But
I appreciate the offer. Maybe I need to get the
moonshine just the way and keep it just in case.
Just like just like the post office, if there is
a post apocalyptic nightmare scenario in the country, I might
(33:44):
need the moonshine to keep me company while I'm waiting
for something to get delivered by the mailman. Right there's
more show to come after the break here on news
Radio seven ten WNTM news is coming up. This is
(34:29):
the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seventy ten WNTM.
Thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Now
coming up this half hour, I'm going to cover some
news items for you that I missed. You might have
missed them too, and also check a voicemail from listeners.
(34:53):
Do you want to let you know that? Right now?
I believe Fox ten is streaming a mayoral forum. The
candidates running for mayor of Mobile being asked questions at
a forum and Fox ten is streaming it. I don't
(35:15):
believe it is actually on Fox ten Television, but it's
streamed on all their platforms whatever that means. You can
go to foxtentv dot com, I believe, and watch it
and you might be able to see it on their
social media as well. But if you're interested in that
Mayor's forum foxtentv dot com to see what all of
(35:35):
the candidates have to say running for mayor of Mobile. Now,
before I get to any news items that I missed
and you might have missed as well, let me check
a voicemail. This was phoned in over the weekend from beautiful,
beautiful West Locksley, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Will Patu.
Speaker 17 (35:55):
Parts on this beautiful Sunday afternoon the UH Texas Roadhouse
down in Foley today. Rita back in January was gifted
a certificate for a free kids meal under the age
of twelve for perfect attendance the first semester.
Speaker 14 (36:14):
Of the fourth grade.
Speaker 17 (36:15):
So finally got around the aspires the thirty first of
this month.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
So, by the way, I'm sorry to interrupt your voicemail already,
but talked about your daughter. Sireta got a reward for
having perfect attendance in school. Very good. Congratulations on attending
the government and doctrination and getting some education as well. Now,
I saw a news item yesterday from over the past
(36:43):
several days from the state school Superintendent of Alabama saying
that attendance is up in Alabama. In fact, I can't
remember the exact stat but something like attendance. Alabama's doing
better than I think every other state in terms of attendance. However,
(37:04):
there is always a however, however, still below pre pandemic levels,
so still not as many kids in school as there
were before the COVID nineteen nightmare that was visited upon us.
So but I'm glad she's got herself a certificate for
(37:27):
a free kids mail at Texas Roadhouse. I hope you
had a wonderful time. All right, let me go back
to the voicemail.
Speaker 17 (37:33):
We got around the Aspires the thirty perst of this month.
So we went down there and she had the chicken fingers.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I had the rib.
Speaker 17 (37:43):
Hey, it's pretty dull one good. So I'm sitting out
here rocking, cheering it off, and in doing so, I
has been perusing the Faith Book and I come across.
You know, we got our sight there, the chums of
Friday Night with Uncle Henry.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Now, there's a Facebook group that Johnny Gwyn created back
during COVID. He created it during COVID when we were
doing the Friday Night with Uncle Henry shows during the
COVID pandemic, when people were restricted from going out and
enjoying life and thought well, if people are miserable, they
(38:22):
maybe they can handle a Friday Night with Uncle Henry's show. Now,
Johnny Gwynn created that Facebook group, and I have I
have he is the I believe he's the sole administrator.
I have no control over the Facebook group. What did
you notice.
Speaker 17 (38:40):
Sight there the chums of Friday Night was Uncle Henry.
And there's a picture of you and some rather large
woman over there, and it reads happy Mother's Day, and
there's it's it's saying posted by an anonymous member. And
I think think what they're implying is that that is
(39:02):
your mom. I thought she was see.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
I can't even escape it, even among friends, these attacks
on my mother. You know, my mother, she's still from
time to time as conscious, has has her mind going
some of the times, and she wouldn't this is something
she could notice potentially. This is as rude as it
gets doing this to my mother, implying that she's of
(39:29):
larger carriage.
Speaker 17 (39:32):
A lot thinner than that. I think you say, put
it as normal size, she is what not?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Some of it, by the way, she is normal size
and whatnot. As you put it, If you.
Speaker 17 (39:45):
Say it, put it as normal size and what not.
Some of the posters that commented it might be l D.
I don't know if LD is smart enough to do
something like that posted on the Facebook. So I him
out as much a guy, I wondered. Yeaw, brother, look
(40:05):
forward to Monday's program. You have a good.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
One and you take it easy. All right, Thank you
very much for your voicemail. Sixty eight year old Chris
of West Locksley and I don't. I don't know what
to say about the inhumanity, the man's inhumanity toward their
fellow man by attacking an innocent woman like my mother
just to score some type of hatred points. I don't.
(40:30):
I don't understand that game in life, trying to score
those hatred points against her and against me and my family.
All right, if you'd like to leave a voicemail voice
my number two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six,
that's two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six,
to leave a message for the Uncle Henry Show for
(40:51):
me or the listeners now uh. Sixty eight year old
Chris is a fan I believe of classic rock. I
think he's made many references over the years of listening
to the annoying ninety six to one The Rocket uh
sixty eight year old Chris, I've got a question for
you after this Entertainment News item not entertaining to me,
(41:15):
but maybe to others. Ozzy Osbourne is coming out with
a second memoir. He already had a memoir, now you've
got another one. It is coming out in October. This
is what Fox News had to say about Ozzy Osbourne's
new book.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Just days after what's being called his final live performance
in Birmingham, Ozzy Osbourne has announced his second memoir, Last Rites,
except for release on October seventh. The seventy six year
old metal icon will reflect on his emotional return to
the stage during the Back to the Beginning concert, which
raised a reported two hundred million for charity, as well
as the series of devastating health issues that have limited
(41:53):
his mobility over the past seven years. Last Ryds promises
a raw, darkly funny look at his physical decline, along
with ever before told stories about his marriage to Sharon Wild,
Knights with rock stars like Slash Bond, Scott John Bonham
and Keith Moon, and his final moments with friend and
Motorhead front man Lemme Kill Mister Michelle Pele.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
You no Fox News. All Right, the question for sixty
eight year old Chris about this this weirdo is is
their talent there? And that's a serious I don't mean
that in a demeaning way. I'm just saying I don't
get it. I've seen him, I've heard him, I've been
forced to listen to some of it, and I don't
I want to know is there really?
Speaker 16 (42:32):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Is their talent there? Or is he just? Is he
famous for?
Speaker 7 (42:37):
What?
Speaker 2 (42:37):
Did he bite the heads off of things? Is that
what he did? Am I confusing him with Alice Cooper?
It's hard when you're talking about demonic people. Sometimes you
mix them up. I don't know, But so on a
serious note, sixty eight yeld Chris, is their talent there?
I'm just curious because I cannot discern it. It doesn't
seem to be, but you never know. All right, Hey,
(42:59):
taking a break and then back with more Uncle Henry Show.
Let's take the dad gum break. That says the Uncle
(43:24):
Henry Show. News Radio seven ten WNTM. News headlines coming
up in ten minutes before we get there to that
news headlines, a few news item or two that I missed,
and I thought, maybe you missed them too.
Speaker 17 (43:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Yesterday, while doing the Uncle Henry Show on News Radio
seven ten WNTM and the five pm hour, I heard
the news headlines from Fox ten about Gulf Shores police
concerned because tourists keep leaving guns behind when they leave
(44:03):
Gulf Shores. Now, and I've never heard of this. Now.
Of course you hear about people leaving guns, accidentally taking
guns with them to the airport and stuff, just forgetting
they have the guns with them. I I find it.
I just I'm not in that mindset where I think
(44:24):
I could walk off and not know that I've left
my gun. Maybe that's because I don't spend enough time
with my gun. Maybe I don't need to spend more
time with my gun so that I'm so familiar with
it that I could easily leave it behind like a
wallet or a phone. But let's listen together. Here is
Lenise la Gan and Camering, tailor of Fox ten, introducing
(44:46):
this story about people leaving their guns behind. Tourists leaving
their guns. They've had such a good time they forgot
they left their gun.
Speaker 12 (44:56):
It's police facing a unique challenge.
Speaker 8 (44:57):
They say, some tourists are checking out and leaving their
guns and AMMO behind.
Speaker 18 (45:01):
Yeah, and they've got more than three dozen that have
been recovered, more than three dozen since March.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
That is just the more.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
More than three dozen since March.
Speaker 18 (45:14):
Ones that have been reported. Our house sharek is speaking
with law enforcement about the concern and also how they're
addressing it.
Speaker 9 (45:21):
From the time they pull into town. Visitors to Gulf
Shores are inundated with messaging, rip current awareness reminders at
the water's edge, and electronic road signs asking that personal
items be taken off the beach are front and center.
The Gulf Shorts Police Department now finds itself in the
worrisome position of needing to send out gun reminders after
an alarming number of guns have been left behind.
Speaker 19 (45:43):
On one occasion we recovered three in one day, and
so we finally hit that point where like we've got
to say something to the public when we hit the
forty actually thirty nine last week and one more this weekend,
which just put us a forty for the summer season.
Speaker 9 (45:58):
That since March first. It's a high number and leads
to many questions, some which police have answers to and
others they don't. They say it's primarily cleaning crews who
find the pistols left behind in closets, drawers, and other places.
While they applaud those services for turning them in, police
say there's no way to know how many are found
(46:19):
and not reported or found.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
By so And I'm sorry if you're interrupting, But has
it been this way and there's just more reporting now?
Have people always left their guns behind? Again? I guess
I'm not comfortably enough with my gun. I need to
spend more time with my gun because I'm not comfortable
enough with it to just forget where I put it.
(46:45):
Does that make sense.
Speaker 9 (46:46):
To know how many are found and not reported or
found by the next family.
Speaker 19 (46:51):
In For us, it's very concerning because if one is
left behind and a cleaning crew doesn't find it, the
next guest checks in and they have children, they come
across the firearm, and we're trying to avoid a tragedy.
Speaker 9 (47:06):
That's the very thing that concerns other visitors to the area.
Gun owners or not one visit.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
I wonder, I hope in this story they tell us
what they do with them.
Speaker 9 (47:15):
Sitor I spoke with brought his pistol with him from Arkansas,
but says he takes precautions to not leave his gun
behind by keeping his with his wallet and keys. I
put them all three together, typically on my nightstand. That
way I have a visual of it.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
I can see it. And by the way, I'm sorry,
I know that this is radio and we've not yet
figured out a way to include video with radio. We're
still working on it, so I can't show you the video. Unfortunately,
this guy has quite the facial hair he is just
(47:51):
the beard looks bigger than his head, which I guess
I should applaud him from being able to produce that
much facial and I can just he could hide his
gun in that beard. You could hide a lot of
stuff in that beard.
Speaker 8 (48:07):
Grab everything, throw it in my pockets and my waistban
and go.
Speaker 9 (48:10):
Since there's a constant turnover of tourists, police face a
challenge to get the messaging out and keep it in
front of who's here.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
Right now.
Speaker 19 (48:18):
We've got obviously the social media part has been put
out with the help of the media, print and news,
and then we're gonna work with our rental companies in
the area to maybe put something out message, signage, something
along those lines, just to let people know.
Speaker 9 (48:40):
And police want visitors to have a plan in place
if you intend to bring your firearm to town, to
make sure you leave with it as well. This can
be done through setting a notification on your smartphone, putting
a note inside your vehicle, or as discussed here. Some
will put their gun with their wildy keys to make
it nearly impossible to leave a hot Now, police tell
(49:01):
me that if all the guns recovered so far, none
have been reported stolen. Now, if they're not claimed though,
with the ninety days, they'll be destroyed, live and go.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
From okay, all right, so you have to And that
was how Surick of Fox ten. Thank you Fox ten.
What a just trying to what do you think? See
to me? How would they go unclaimed unless there were
they illegal guns? I mean, would you'd want your gun back?
Wouldn't you? You just to embarrass anyway, I have more questions.
(49:34):
They need to do it. They need to do more
on this, the idea of people just leaving guns and
oh well, I wonder where a gun is? All right,
look out of time. Thank you for listening. As they
say in Sarahland, have a good one, as they say
in Theodore, take it easy.
Speaker 15 (49:56):
All right.
