The Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seventy ten WNTM.
Thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show here
on a Friday. Has wet Willy once taught us? Has

(02:22):
wet will he once taught us all those years ago.
Weekend do what you want to do weekend when you're
working days are through weekend, weekend, weekend, weekend weekend. Here

(02:42):
we are together, another Friday together, another weekend looming before us,
Me and you and all we got to do. You
and me to spend some time here together, the two
of us trying to figure out what on earth is
going on in the world around us, and there is
so much. I mean, I cannot keep up anymore. I
just ca' it's the news is coming at me like

(03:02):
water out of a fire hose. Not that I've ever
had water out of a fire hose spewed at me,
but it's the way I would imagine. It would be
so much to get into on the LC Claimer Show.
And now, if you'd like to jump in on this,
if you'd like to share something with me or the listener.
Maybe you've got a news item that you'd like to
talk about, or an opinion. Maybe you've noticed something you

(03:23):
need other people to notice. Maybe you've got a recipe
for something that we would all be delighted by. Maybe
you've got a life hack that you could share with us.
Two five one four seven nine two seven two three
is the telephone number. That's two five to one four
seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. Now, one quick thing to tell

(03:45):
you about you. You may have already heard about this,
but I will repeat it for those that have been
disinterested or hard of hearing. H the mobile the city
of Mobile and the Mobile Film Office are going to
be working on film with local first responders tonight from
six thirty to nine out at Langen Park on Museum Drive.

(04:12):
They're going to be doing some filming out there, Let's see.
The press release says the filming will include the limited
use of blank gunfire that may be audible in the
areas around Langen Park, Mobile Museum of Art, and Playhouse
in the Park. The film crew will be working closely

(04:34):
with the police Department, fire rescue, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. They say this will not have any impact
on traffic, but just bringing this up, the city wants
you to know if you hear a lot of gunfire
out near Langon Park this evening between six thirty and nine,
don't think that it is some type of horrific crime

(04:55):
as is usual.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Just this.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Actually, this is kind of abnormal that it's to worry about.
So just keep in mind, nothing to worry about when
you hear all the gun fire tonight near lang In Park.
Let's see again. Two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. The telephone number hellop Color.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Hey, Okay, Cliff, Cliff, you are live on the radio.
Ok Henri, yes, can you can you you? I can't
even fathom the things that are going on today. You
got people in here protesting everything that Donald Trump does.

(05:38):
But none of it's bad, none of it's evil. He's
not trying to make you get your children's of vsectomies
and all of this stuff. He's doing things for the
country and it's going a good way. But you got people,

(06:00):
I mean, we understand that they are being paid to
do this in protests, but I didn't even know in
Alabama and Mobile we had any stupid black folk that
was real, you know, unenlightened enough to get into this
bulld up. They protesting we you know, the WI program,

(06:25):
the foods there program, but they wasn't protesting twenty million
illegals come across the border and causing this stuff. But
they're worried about medicaid. They're worried about all this stuff.
That's all the leftists energizing the foods in every state

(06:47):
they see any audiot moron could have seen if you
put twenty million illegals in here, it would cause that effect.
But now you've got even our local black democrats worried

(07:08):
about food stamps and their children and they didn't see.
You mean to tell me they were stupid enough that
they didn't see what they was going along with Biden
and all these people, all that's going to happen, Medicaid
and everything.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
They didn't see that.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
And then when Donald Trump comes in and say we're
from the cut, he's talk about trying.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
To cut to your leaguers off.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
But you still have a Democrat people telling the stupid
Democrat bouters down here that it's a real bad thing.
They scare us. Stupid people don't know what that. Don't
worry about being scared. They're just stupid and they're.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Going along with what they hear.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
It kind of makes me sick of.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
The wait, Cliff, before I go to break, I'm up
on the break. Now, is there an actual Are these
just comments from local folks or are people actually getting
out and protesting on the street about this?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
No, theyre all they worried about Medicaid. They a word
about the food stamp for the cheering and all this
kind of stuff, But they wasn't worried about what did
they think was going to happen when twenty million legals
come over here and then you try to put them
on the same door so that they could vote for you.
Ye blessed Helga, you too.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Cliff, thank you very much for your phone call. I'd
say to any country on the planet, if you add
twenty million people and put them on some type of
government assistance than standard of living drops for everyone in
the country. Back with more after the break, Uncle Henry

(09:15):
Show News Radio seven ten WNTM. It is five twenty
news headlines coming up in ten minutes from Fox ten
and from Fox Radio National News. Telephone number here if
you'd like to reach the Uncle Henry Show to express
whatever it is you need to express. Two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. That's two five

(09:36):
one four seven nine two seven two three. Email address
Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That is Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. Now let me get let me
go into the Uncle Heanary Show voicemail. I've got some
voicemail stacked up from the week that I have not
had a chance to get to. In fact, the uh,
the snake trapper called in about some We just had

(09:58):
Cliff talking about some now national type of politics and
the local ramifications. But the snake trapper call in not
about snakes or possums or any other creature like turtles
that he would like to eat. But he did. He
called in about this new this this sensation in New
York the mayoral candidate for the Democrats that has caused

(10:21):
a nationwide sensation because he happens to be quite the socialist, communist.

Speaker 7 (10:27):
Heyl Henry snake Chapper. Hey man, I want to speak
about this zoron fellow, Uncle Henry. He is the Democratic
uh primary winner uh in New York City, Uncle Henry.
This man is a straight up communist, Uncle Henry. He
wants the government run grocery stores.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
But I asked the people of New York, Uh, walk
into a public since y'all have one. I don't know
if y'all do, or a Wendy or your local grocery.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Store like Gris Grier's, got it, I guarantee it it may.

Speaker 7 (11:07):
Be, And look around and say to yourself, could the
government be doing this better? I think their answer will
be a definite no.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
And I'm sorry to pause you. I will unpause the
snake trapper. I know a lot of people have been
talking about the whole concept of the idea of this
guy coming up with this idea of he wished the
government ran grocery stores because it was so important to
be able to get you food and let the government
run the grocery store. Well, so you're getting food from

(11:46):
the government grocery store. Now we've all heard the the
funny people making comparisons to this would be just like
the whatever you've experienced at the DMV. This is just
what it would be like. Just remember that whatever the
government gives you, government can take away from you. And

(12:06):
if there was a government, just for example, if you
were told that you needed to take a certain shot,
government wants you to take a shot. What if they said, Okay,
if you're not going to take the shot, we're not
going to give you, you're not going to be able
to shop at the government grocery store. See that's the
kind of stuff. Or let's say, and let's bring it

(12:28):
to something that would be more likely, because we will
likely not be mandated to take a shot again, at
least in our lifetimes after that horrible government program from Biden.
Let's imagine you're living New York and they have government
run grocery stores, and you you double parked or something,

(12:51):
and you have a parking ticket you didn't pay. Then
you went to go buy your groceries and they said, sorry,
you cannot buy your spam or your being of sausages
until you pay for this outstanding traffic warrant that we
have out for you. You were double parked and then
you parked in the wrong place. You're gonna have to
pay these fees, have to pay these spines and fees

(13:14):
before you get your Vima sausages. Just something to think about.
Whatever they can give you, they can take away from you.

Speaker 7 (13:20):
Henry's only five percent of New Yorkers voted in that primary. People,
you must get out and vote. That is the sole
reason we wound up with people in Congress like il
han Omar Well, New York you're fiction to get a

(13:40):
communist Souron. He will destroy New York City over Henry.
He is straight up communist. People, you better get out
and vote. I know the mayor there now he is
a Democrat over Henry. But people, you must support and Republican.

(14:02):
Every Republican in New York must get out and vote
for the current mayor see that he stays in office.
It's kind of like, you know which Democrat do you want? Well,
I guarantee you Mayor Adams. He is a Democrat, but
he is for what you have to choose from. He

(14:24):
would be New York's best decision.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
I believe he's running as an independent.

Speaker 7 (14:29):
So far he is making New York safer. He is
trying to put the New Yorkers first. But my god, people,
you need to research this. Zoron fellow Uncle Henry.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
By the way, I'm sorry to interrupted stink Trevor again.
By the way, if you are listening to the Uncle
Henry Show as a podcast in New York, which is
probably not well, I could actually look here in a
minute and see if I have any downloads in the
last few weeks from that area. But if anybody listening
to the Unclaimer Show podcast up in New York, feel

(15:03):
free to call and leave me a voicemail as to
what you would want voters to do in the mobile
mayor's race. Because snake trappers giving advice to New York
citizens and who to vote for in their city, I
would like New Yorkers to have the same. What's good
for the goose should be good for the gander. So
if you are, if you've downloaded this show up in

(15:24):
New York, maybe just to make fun of the South
or something. My numbers two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. If you want to leave a message
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six, look
into who's running for mayor. Let us know who you'd
vote for, especially if you're a voter for the the
socialist communists.

Speaker 7 (15:44):
Man, people, get out and vote. Be responsible American. If
you do nothing else in your communities, are or in
your government, get out and vote. It is your responsibility
to pick your leaders.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
It's fun to vote. It is one of the only
times you're guaranteed to spend a lot of time with
elderly women.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
And letting people like this Zoron get in there will
destroy this country. That was the communist and the socialist
plan was to destroy this country from within, and that
is exactly what they're doing.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
You have a good day, my friend, Snake Trapper, thank
you very much for Trump for it does it is
of interest to me that you would choose this forum,
an AM radio talk show in Mobile, Alabama, to somehow
try to communicate with the voters, the registered voters of
New York City. I'm I guess I should be honored

(16:45):
that you had picked this platform to try and connect
with those people up in New York City. And I
don't know, I don't know what the voting laws are like.
I don't know if they have voter idea or anything
up there in New York City. Would it be possible
if we could maybe take a field trip and go
vote in New York City, Because if they don't have

(17:05):
voter id I mean, maybe we could go up there
and all vote for somebody else, maybe help them out,
maybe take a few buses up there. Have to look
into that. Democrats won't mine. I mean, they ready to
have anybody walk into the country and sign up for everything.

(17:28):
I'd like to have the opportunity to go and vote
against certain congress people in other states. More Uncle Henry's

The telephone number here two five one four seven nine

(19:06):
two seven two three email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
dot com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now
let me see uh I do have I've got a
few voicemails that have stacked up from this week and
I want to make sure they don't go stale.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
This is something brief from the Alabama bush Hog over.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Henry, the Alabama Bushog calling in. I hope you so
it's gonna be well? I'm sure it will be. You
were just something else on that radio. I'm telling you,
I look at here. I'm wanna tell you about something.

Speaker 8 (19:40):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
I woke up this morning and overnight my ankle turned
into a tankle. It's swelled up so big. It's terrible.
It's unnaturally swollen, and it feels like, you know, glass
is broken, glasses embedded right there in between with a
leg bone connections.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt the Alabama bush hag. I
just want to if there's anybody younger listening to the
show due to I don't know, taking care of their grandparents,
I just won't let you know. This is stuff people
my age. People my age love to share their maladies.
We do so you you're thinking, why is this guy
calling in about his ankle? People my age, we enjoy

(20:24):
sharing our maladies with each other. It's a form of
therapeutic communication with each other, and we form a sense
of community out of our infirmity. All right, let's listen,
he's almost done with his ankle issue. Let's get back
to the voicemailbedded.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Right there in between with a leg bone connects to
the footbone. Yes, it's just excruciating trying to walk on it. Anyway. Look,
I've been in them into the doctors and they don't
know anything.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Gone to the doctors and they don't know anything. Okay, really,
could that really be?

Speaker 2 (20:57):
They not have a clue. I'm telling you right now,
one of these days, AI is gonna take over. As
long as they can't see your social media and can't
be biased about what's going on in your social life,
they could diagnose you, prognose you perfectly, and cure you

(21:18):
and any diseases in the future. It makes you wonder
where are all those nurses and doctors gonna go. Then
they're not gonna need so much employees as they are now.
Uh huh. And it's something to think about. I mean,
you know, intensive care nurses and then you guys are surgeons.
They will be necessary for a while. But if AI

(21:42):
takes over, I think it'll be a good thing.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
Medically.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
I'm not sure about the rest of it, but medically
I would support that anyway. Really, you have a good day,
Uncle Henry row Tide roll time, Thank.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
You, Alabama, but shall go. Hope you're feeling better with
your ankle. I'm I'm sure that AI will be used
as a tool. Certainly, I'm hoping that human beings will
still be overseeing it, because already when I use different ais,

(22:14):
just sometimes i'll just to amuse myself, I will ask
an AI something and I'll notice wrong answers. Yeah, so
you're talking about your medical care being turned over to
artificial intelligence. Well, I don't think I don't think we're

(22:36):
close to that. Maybe we are, but I don't think
we're close to it, because they that these artificial intelligence
still make mistakes, and I'm sure that there will still
be human beings. In fact, you mentioned nurses. I cannot
imagine being in a hospital in feeling any form of

(22:58):
comfort or healing being tended to by a robot. I
just can't. And that may be something they're looking at,
they being whoever's above me and the food chain that
makes these decisions. But I can't imagine all of humans
being pulled out of medical care. But yes, as a
tool to diagnose, to look at your test results and

(23:22):
figure out what's going on, it may be a great help,
and I think it's already being used in that way.
But don't say goodbye to all the doctors and nurses yet.
I think we still have We still have need. I'm
wondering how much of AI will just be trying to
figure out what real human doctor to send you to.

(23:45):
You'll probably have to explain what's wrong, what your symptoms are,
to AI, and that'll be the way it starts. But anyway,
bush Hog, thank you for your Voicemail two five one
four seven nine two two three. The telephone number that's
two five to one four seven nine two seven two three.
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.

Speaker 9 (24:06):
Now.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Earlier this week, I talked about how the the Mobile
City councilman you unanimously decided to slow down the traffic
in downtown Mobile by ripping out some traffic lights. They're
going to be dripping out, ripping out some traffic signals
and replacing them with stop signs in some intersections. Some

(24:27):
intersections will have traffic signals, red lights ripped out of
there and replaced with stop signs. Because that's progress. That's progress,
because the whole goal, as they have stated, is to
slow the traffic down. They don't want you to drive

(24:50):
effectively at all in downtown Mobile. They'd like you to
I don't know what they'd like you to do. Walk
you get one of these scooters or something. Now, Beuford
heard the news story and had a brief call about
the news.

Speaker 10 (25:03):
Story and Handry on that day story. Are you playing
about them replacing traffic lights with stop signs? My gosh,
that is typical mobile tomfoolery right there. I got a
better idea, Henry. Are we going to replace the stop

(25:23):
signs with one of them old fashioned traffic cops, you know,
the kind of stand on a pillar in the middle
of an intersection in direct traffic, and we're gonna go backwards.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Let's go all the way.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Backwards, Henry.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
Anyway, Henry, that's my two cents.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
You have a good day here.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
From thank you for that. You know, I didn't even
that did not that didn't pomp to mind when I
heard this story, and I didn't think of how this actually,
even though it'll it'll be terrible for people that actually
drive a car or a truck, it might call it
might create some extra employment if we can have if

(26:05):
we could have more traffic officers, traffic police, as you said,
standing there directing traffic. I'm thinking of peak times where
people are driving into downtown Mobile now that they've turned
it into quite the night spot with all the different
great restaurants and all the people that like to go

(26:28):
down there and see live music and all that kind
of stuff. Go to the Sanger for events and things
like that. And they're going to be a bunch of
four way stops down there. Maybe they will have maybe
they could employ some traffic cops to do just what
you said and stand in the intersection and direct traffic.

(26:49):
In fact, that would be I would enjoy that. That'd
be a great In fact, if the city would like
to talk to me about being one of them, that
would be I would That'd be a great part time
job for me. Get a little exercise out there. You
got you can't just stand there. You have to move
around when you're doing it, So it'd be it'd be
a great workout for somebody my age and I loved.

(27:12):
I love pointing at people and then pointing where I
want them to go. There's something very satisfied about pointing
at a person and then pointing to where you wish
they'd go. All right, there's even more Uncle Henry Show
coming up after the break here on news Radio seven

(27:35):
ten WNTM. Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven ten WNTM.

(28:00):
It is five fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes,
and then more. Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM telephone number two five one four seventy
nine two seventy two three. That's two five one four

(28:21):
seven nine two seventy two three. Email address Uncle henriydiheartmedia
dot Com. Let me say, I've got a few news
items for you now you I know you've already heard
about this, but I wanted to share it on the
Uncle Henry Show. This was a a tense standoff that
happened on a busy Texas highway yesterday. It all began after.

Speaker 11 (28:46):
Authority say a sixty four year old woman intentionally crashed
into an eighteen wheeler before.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
A sixty four year old woman intentionally crashing into an
eighteen wheeler.

Speaker 11 (28:54):
Oh, I got a lawn share in sitting down in
the middle of I forty five armed with a revolt.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
I know, so sixty something. You're a woman intentionally rams
an eighteen wheeler and then then gets out a lawn
chair and sits in the highway.

Speaker 11 (29:11):
After authority say a sixty four year old woman intentionally
crashed into an eighteen wheeler before pulling out a lawn
chair and sitting down in the middle of I forty five,
armed with a revolver and refused to move. That sparked
a five hour negotiation. The woman, who has a history
of mental illness, held the gun to her head as
crisis teams work to diffuse the situation. Was her daughter's
arrival that helped bring a peaceful end.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
Norlan was hurt.

Speaker 11 (29:34):
Officials say the woman will receive mental health treatment. Ted Lindner, Fox.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
News, and I wish the best for this woman. I
hope she gets the help she needs.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
Now.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Think about all the people around our country that have
gone out in mass protests trying to get attention for
whatever they want to do. And this was just one
person that managed to shut down a major highway for
hours and hours an hours. So she clear she may
have some issues that she needs resolved. Apparently she does.

(30:04):
But quite crafty, quite crafty there. And I'm wondering if
any other crimes have been committed in lawn chairs. You know,
this is a crime being committed while someone is seated
in a lawn chair. One if this has happened now,

(30:25):
I'm sure white collar crimes like embezzlement and stuff like that.
I guess you could do it in a lawn chair
on a smartphone or something. But just I wonder how
many crimes are committed in lawn chairs and if we
need some form, if we need to start thinking about
lawn chair control just for the safety of our country.

(30:46):
But a this might be the first lawn chair crime
story that I have heard in my time doing the
Uncle Henbrey Show's See what Else? There was one other
thing I wanted to mention. One of my favorite musical artists,
one of my favorite musical artists and entertainers, has passed

(31:07):
away this week. Here is Fox ten, not Fox ten,
Here's Fox Radio National News talking about Lalo Schiffren.

Speaker 12 (31:17):
The composer from Argentina. Loalo Schriffron, who wrote the theme
for Mission Impossible and more than one hundred other arrangements
for film and TV, has died. Triffrun won four Grammys
and was nominated for six Oscars, five of them for
Original Score, including the film Cool Hand. Luke Triffrn once

(31:42):
said every movie has its own personality and that the
movie dictates what the music will be. His son, says
Schriffron died peacefully at his home in Los Angeles from
complications of pneumonia. Striffren was ninety three. Carmen Roberts, Fox News.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
What a great composer that this guy was. In my
own personal opinion, love I love movie soundtracks. I like
movie music and generally because it's less stupid than other music.
And I really loved this guy's work. I used to
use his music as bumper music on the Uncle Henry

(32:19):
Show back when I was doing mornings here every day.
I loved playing, of course, the classic Mission Impossible theme.
It is one of the best television themes of all time.
I also loved he did the theme for Mannix. That
was a great theme song Mannix. And I really loved

(32:40):
his movie music for Dirty Harry. He did the music
for the Dirty Harry movies. Great great composer. So over
the weekend, if you want to listen to something less
stupid than what you probably already do listen to, just
look it up. You can find Lolo Schiffrin all over
YouTube and other music sources. On the iHeartRadio app. I'm

(33:03):
sure you can find some Lolo Shifferent on the iHeartRadio app.
In fact, speaking of the app, if you want to
listen back to previous shows. Go on the iHeartRadio app
and look up Uncle Henry's Show, and you will find
all of these previous shows of the last couple of years.
When you do, please set a preset in the app

(33:25):
for the Uncle Henry Show and for WNTM, and then
you'll be able to find us instantly when you come
back into the iHeartRadio app. All right, going to take
a time out. We have a news break coming up,
and then I have other things to get into on
the Uncle Henry Show, including time permitting yet another raccoon update,

(33:55):
all coming up after the news Here on news Radio
seven to ten Uncle Henry Show.

Speaker 8 (34:06):
Riday Evening. What a feeling you like saying is weekes
what you want to do weekend? Be what you want
to be.

Speaker 6 (34:23):
Weekes weekend.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
As what Willy taught us, weekend, do what you want
to do weekend when those working days are through weekend, weekend, weekend, weekend, weekend,

(35:17):
Uncle Henry's Show on News Radio seventy ten WNTM. I
thank you the listener. I appreciate you allowing the Uncle
Henry Show to go into your ear and through your
ear into your brain to be comprehended and pondered and

(35:38):
then ultimately forgotten. Now this half hour of show going
to go through some news items. Also got a got
an update, yet another raccoon update. You know this is
it's now turning into maybe Buford needs to get his
own raccoon show. Here on sevent ten, we've had so

(35:59):
many raccoon updates. But yes, there isn't there is a
new development. There's more raccoon talk coming up in this
half hour of the Uncle Henry Show. Before I get
to the raccoon update, though, let's check some news items.
I like to keep myself semi informed. As semi informed,
I don't want to be completely informed, because then I'd
probably lose my mind, but I want to be semi informed.

(36:21):
So let's see. Here is a news item from Fox ten.
This This is about the Independence Day coming up July fourth.
A lot of people expected to be on the beaches
and in the waterways. And they did a story about
Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and they have there. They're going
to try to keep us all safe and enforce every

(36:43):
kind of law they can think of to enforce. So
let's listen together. Maybe we'll learn something from this. If
any of us are going boating or doing anything in
the water off Coase.

Speaker 13 (36:53):
We'll see thousands of visitors over the July fourth holiday
next week, state troopers putting the message out to be
safe on the roads and on the water. Are how
Shark met with Aliyah on the water today?

Speaker 14 (37:04):
These jet skis right here, they're all violating the old
Wakes one here at North Beach, this whole.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
Apa right now, And I want to apologize. I'm playing
video and you because this is radio. Unfortunately radio still
doesn't have pictures. We still don't. Now we're working on it.
We're still working on it, but for now, for now
radio is just sound and not video. Now the video
they're just showing some people on jet skis. And already

(37:29):
this Aliah official is saying that all of these people
are breaking the law. He's looking at a bunch of
lawbreakers on their jet skis. Just all these people just
lawbreaking having fun as lawbreakers.

Speaker 13 (37:42):
Or how Shark met with Aliyah on the water today?

Speaker 14 (37:45):
These jet skis right here, they're all violating the old
Wakes one here at North Beach.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
They're all violating the law.

Speaker 14 (37:50):
This whole area is an idol speed zone, an idle
speed no wake.

Speaker 5 (37:53):
So if you and I weren't standing here on the
dock talk, then you're probably be having a conversation with them.
That's correct.

Speaker 14 (37:57):
If they get close enough to me, I'll have a
conversation with them today.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
Lieutenant Jody Kelly has been a trooper with the Lea
Marine Patrol for more than thirty years and has seen
a lot of changes on the waters of Orange Beach
over that time. As luck would have it, he didn't
need to have that conversation with the jet ski drivers
as Orange Beach PD Marine one stopped them to have
a chat with the angle.

Speaker 10 (38:18):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
Okay, so while they're doing the story, people were stomped
and chatted with. Now I've never been pulled over on
the water. Do you just get chatted because they're talking
about pulling them over and having a chat. Well, that's
whenever I've been pulled over, and unfortunately I have. I've
been pulled over on while driving a vehicle a couple

(38:41):
of times. That was due to me exceeding the speed limit.
And I don't want I don't want to get into
all the details of why I would break a speed limit.
A lot of it has to do with either a
bladder issue or a speed limit being set ridiculously low.
But it's never been a chat. It's always been a

(39:03):
little firmer than a chat. So anyway, pulling people over
to chat with them.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
Ski drivers as Orange BEACHPD Marine one stop them to
have a chat. With the increase in population and tourism
comes an increase in boat traffic. This becomes an even
greater public safety concern. Over the summer holidays, the waterways
get so much more congested during this timeframe. You got
people coming from all over the country down here. We'll
have your locals and then you'll have all your people

(39:31):
from these other states.

Speaker 14 (39:33):
Everybody's on vacation, everybody's want to have a good time,
and really a lot of times they don't think about
what's going on around them.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
Boaters out on the water, and I'm sure to pause
it again, I wonder how many people they pull over
on the waters are drunk. I'm just curious. I'm wondering
how many of them are drunk.

Speaker 5 (39:51):
Boaters out on the water Thursday. We're familiar with the
local waters, but say the increase in boating traffic is
hard to miss and requires extra diligiy.

Speaker 15 (40:00):
I've been coming here since about nineteen eighty and definitely
everything's gotten bigger down here. We used to go full
speed from once you've got past the bridge all the
way to Old River condos here, and everything's idle speed now.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
I think just by the way, I think that man
was wearing an Alabama camp roll tired row. Thank you,
anonymous boater.

Speaker 16 (40:23):
I'm basically watching out for everybody else's situational awareness, making
sure that you see what's going on and everybody sees you.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
It's not just the crowded waterways that are a concern
for Aliah. Over the Fourth of July holiday, tens of
thousands of visitors all get here by driving. Aliah. Officiill
say the top contributors to roadway accidents are speeding, distraction
and general complacency the safety thing.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Now, wait a minute, what does general complacency mean? Speeding distraction?
I understand complacency. What let's try apologize for being such
a such a low IQ individual here, But I'm I
don't understand. I know what the definition of complacency is,

(41:11):
but really, why you're complacent driving? I've never heard anybody
complain about complacent driving.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
Pop contributors to roadway accidents are speeding, distraction and general complacency.
The safety theme for this holiday season is standards and success,
meaning the only way to obtain success is to live
by safe standards.

Speaker 16 (41:34):
So as you near your destination, remember that the majority
of traffic crashes happen within about five miles from your
end destination. So just be patient. You're going to see
an increased volume of traffic. Traffic is extremely congested in
this part of the state, so just be patient.

Speaker 5 (41:52):
Reporting in Orange Beach hal share it Foxton News.

Speaker 13 (41:56):
So the big takeaways here, wear life jacket or seatfelt,
distractions like texting or posting social media, and don't drink
and drive.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
Now what about complacency? All right, Well, anyway, they'll give
me something to ask. If I ever interview a state
trooper again, I'll ask them about that. They'll probably look
at me like I'm an idiot, and they might even
dispute the fact that it was ever mentioned in a
news story. All right. By the way, if you have

(42:25):
already forgotten the safety theme, A Leah's safety theme for
the Independence Day holiday is standards and Success. There could
be a test on this. In fact, if you get
pulled over, you might tell them that you know that
the theme is standards and success. Could you please not
get a ticket? All right, there's more to come. A

(42:46):
raccoon update from Buford. Yes, another one that and more
on the way as the Uncle Henry Show continues here
on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. Let us please now
take the break. Take the break, that says the Uncle

(43:13):
Henry Show here on news radio seven ten WNTM News
said lines coming up in ten minutes. I promised you
a yet another raccoon update we've had. I've lost count
of how many raccoon updates we've had from Buford on
Dog River. Here is the latest update. He recently caught

(43:39):
and disposed of raccoon number sixteen in I think about
a year's time. Here is the update. Here is a
new update from Buford.

Speaker 7 (43:52):
Henry got me a coon update for you. I tried
to dispose of coon number seventeen this morning, Henry and
Henry on my game camera. Coon number eighteen and nineteen
come on over and jumped coon number seventeen while he

(44:13):
was trapped in the trap around two three in the morning.

Speaker 6 (44:18):
Henry.

Speaker 7 (44:20):
It's like a bad Vietnam movie, Henry. I get rid
of one and two literally replaces them.

Speaker 6 (44:28):
Anyway, Henry, Hey, before you.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Go forward, I'm just so you had trapped number seventeen
in your special raccoon trap using moon pies and sardines
and fish oil and all that kind of stuff and
dog food, and raccoon's number eighteen and nineteen jumped on
top of that raccoon. Now did you get off? Did

(44:52):
you get all three of them?

Speaker 7 (44:54):
Putting a couple more doll proof traps out, I will
win this battle. I'll have coon eighteen and nineteen take
care of shortly. And Henry, my brother lives around the
corner from me down there on the bay, has got
a coon problem that has manifested itself in his yard

(45:15):
as well. I still believe, Henry, that they're using the
storm drain.

Speaker 8 (45:20):
Systems of the City of Mobile as a coon.

Speaker 7 (45:23):
Highway to travel from one location to the other, because
we ain't got that much woods around us in there
not to support this many dagon coons. So seventeen coons, Henry,
in about a year and two or three months. Anyway,
you have a good day, all.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Right, Well, Nature just loves you. This may be a
sign that nature, that Mother Nature loves you, that she's
continuously sending you raccoon after raccoon after raccoon. Now the
storm drain thing, didn't I? I remember a story from
a year a year ago?

Speaker 6 (45:58):
Maybe?

Speaker 4 (46:00):
Was it University of Florida in Gainesville?

Speaker 6 (46:04):
Did they?

Speaker 4 (46:04):
I think they put cameras down in the storm drains
in their city and they saw all kinds of animals.
Let me see if I can find that. Okay, let's see,
let's see. Pardon me, patience, please, Oh, here we go.
Here is the story. Oh uh oh, this was only
a few months ago. This was in February. I don't

(46:26):
know why I thought it was like a year ago,
two years ago. No, it was in February. Okay, here's
the story from w c JB in Gainesville, Florida. Let's
listen together. Do raccoons use the storm drains?

Speaker 17 (46:46):
Gators, bats, and raccoons are using the stormwater sewer system
in Gainesville as their dark passageway.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Jevie Twy's Stewart Baker to.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
Show, I'm sorry they're using and it's their dark passageway.
What'd he say? Bats, alligators, and raccoons?

Speaker 17 (47:02):
Is this how these wild animals, including gators, bats, and
raccoons are using the storm water sewer system? In Gainsville
as their dark passageway.

Speaker 11 (47:10):
Jee Twy's Stewart Baker shows us how these wild animals
are adapting to live in an urban environment.

Speaker 18 (47:16):
Raccoons, cats, even owls, bats, and alligators have been using
sewer outlets such as this one behind me to avoid
confrontation with humans on the surface. A newly published studied reveal.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
It's to avoid humans from They don't want to confront us.
This is what the young reporter says. They don't want
to confront the humans, and so we've driven them into
the drains.

Speaker 18 (47:38):
Well, thousands of animals in Gainsville using the sewer system
as a home and as a mode of transportation to
combat urban environments.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
Mode of transportation before there it is Gainesville University, Gainesville
or Florida or whatever it is.

Speaker 18 (47:52):
More than thirty six hundred different animals were captured on
camera with thirty five different species being represented.

Speaker 9 (47:58):
So we had thirty five species of animals, eleven mammals,
eleven bird species. Now it sounds like there's a lot
of birds, but in reality, eighty something percent of all
of the animals that we observe to were mammals.

Speaker 18 (48:10):
Ivory believes the constant growth of urban development is causing
animals to adapt to their new surroundings.

Speaker 9 (48:15):
Well, it definitely seems as though animals are using the
sewer system as an adaptation. Raccoons are well known for
being urban adapted, and from my knowledge, bats seem to
stay away from the urban lights. Artificial lighting is kind
of a negative thing in the eyes of bats.

Speaker 18 (48:32):
It seems the animals retract using trail cameras set up
in different sewer pipes that can detect motion and can
use infrared imagery. Ivory believes this study lays the groundwork
for future research on how these animals react in the
colder winter months.

Speaker 9 (48:46):
And so if we can see different foraging behavior underground,
or maybe we get an increase in bat abundance underground
during these colder months, that'd be value information to know of.
Maybe we don't flush our systems, our sewer systems during
the winter months. We hold off till the earth the
late springs never it's warmer.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
The gold is all right. Now, you're gonna change your
own storm drain activities so you don't upset the bats,
Is that right?

Speaker 7 (49:13):
All right?

Speaker 4 (49:13):
Well, Beuford, you're correct. Their university eggheads have confirmed that
the raccoons are using the drain system as a super
highway because, as the man said, raccoons are very urban adaptable.
All right, Well, out of time for this edition of
the Uncle Henry Show and for this week's Uncle Henry Shows.

(49:37):
Thank you for listening to whatever you've listened to. As
they say in sarah Land, have a good one, and
as they say in Theodore, take it easy.

Speaker 6 (49:52):
All right. Later
