(02:23):
Uncle Henry Show.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Here on News Radio seventy ten WNTM, also streaming live
on YouTube. Just look for Uncle Henry Show on YouTube. Well,
here we are again together, just the two of us,
me and you trying to figure out what is going
(02:49):
on in the world around us. And here we are
together on a Friday a wonderful Friday. Now, many people
are ruled by the cale. You may have noticed this.
Many people in our country and our culture in this
country are very calendrically oriented, where certain days of the
week determine their attitude and emotional outlook. Many peoples are
(03:15):
slaves to the calendar. They get in a bad mood
on a Sunday night because they've got to go in
to work on Monday, and then Monday they've got some
type of weird anti Monday bias. Then they begin to
cheer up in the middle of the week, and then
you get to Friday, and it's hard to get people
to do any work because all they're doing on a
(03:35):
Friday is thinking about all the fun they may theoretically
have when they go out and burn up all their paycheck.
Honking talking out there. Just bizarre calendrical just being subservient
to the calendar, some type of calendrical focus. I'm not
one of those people, but if you are, if you're
(03:57):
one of the calendrically focused, today is Friday. This is
the day that you've been programmed to feel joy, whether
there's a reason for it or not. I believe it
was wet Willie that programmed you at an early age
to believe weekend do what you want to do week
end when your working day is through weekend. Weekend, weekend, weekend, weekend. Well,
(04:24):
here we are on a Friday as you face your weekend. Now,
I'm very excited because I do enjoy football as a
diversion from reality, as an entertainment. I don't see it
as anything really real. I see it as a diversion
from reality and an entertainment. We've got your high school football.
(04:46):
I think you've even got Auburn is playing tonight.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Auburn is kicking off tonight, So you've got your Auburn
Tigers playing tonight. Then tomorrow night, you got the South
Alabama Jags playing their first home game of the year
at Hancock Whit Stadium. That game's tomorrow night. And you've
got the Alabama Crimson Tide Roll Tide Row going up
against Florida State at two thirty tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward
(05:12):
to all of it, I'm going to enjoy as much
of it as I can. Now you may think, well,
Uncle Henry, shouldn't you be talking about more important stuff.
There's all kind of important stuff going on in the
world that you could be talking about. Well, I'm I'm
following the example here of the governor of the state
of Alabama, k Ivy. K Ivy went on X today,
(05:35):
the social media platform X. I looked on the X
app today and there was k Ivy. If you haven't
already heard it, here is Governor k Ivy, Alabama's k
Ivy commenting about football today on the X app.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
All right, Alabama, it's game time right now?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Doesn't she say?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I'm vigorant?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Now, that's not all she had to say, But I
wanted to pause there because aren't you excited that she
sounds so vigorous? The governor of Alabama of advanced years,
battling numerous health issues, still sounding full of vim and vigor.
Let's listen again at all of the vigorousness there.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
All right, Alabama, it's game time. We're coming off one
heck of a good yell the Crimson Tide of the
world's best and most unified athletic program in Alabama, tir
or uc ain't national shelves. Jordan Has Stadium has been
named one of the toughest game day atmospheres in all
(06:39):
of college football.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
By the way, Whoever, when you elect politicians in Alabama,
always try to go for somebody with this kind of accent,
because even when they tell you stuff you don't want
to hear, because I didn't need to hear the stuff
about Auburn. Even when they tell you stuff you don't
want to hear, like maybe your taxes are going up
and stuff like that, it always sounds better with the accent.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It just it does to me.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It does to me even when you're giving me at
giving me bad news about taxes going up or that
kind of stuff. Back to k Ivy's message, and let's.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Not forget about the open Tiger's marching band coming in
at number one Troy South Alabama and U ain't be
I'll win it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
She even said the word Troy in a wonderful way.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Troy in titles and bringing home trophies, our HBCUs, stacking talent,
and sending NFL prospects to the next level. Yoll, this
is how I State does football, and I am ready
for some college football.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
All right, there she is. You can tell she's sincere.
She's ready. And once again, let's listen to the beginning
of this so in case you're worried about her health.
You can hear the vigorousness of it all.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Right down Withabama, it's game time.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
See she was able to staying in an extended game time.
So k ivy, k ivy, enjoying that we're back into
football season, just like me and just like you. So
I hope we all, I hope we get the results
we're looking for this weekend and enjoy all of the fun,
the pageantry, the name, image, likeness, all the stuff that
(08:22):
now swirls around our football. Of course, there are other
things to get to, Yeah, and I'll get to them.
As The Uncle Henry Show proceeds forward in the time stream,
first a break for traffic and weather, and then back
with more Uncle Henry's Show. On this Friday, it says
(09:08):
the Uncle Henry Show. Here on News Radio seven ten WNTM,
and on YouTube it is five twenty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes from Fox ten and from Fox
Radio National News. Now, if you'd like to call the
Uncle Henry Show if there's something on your mind, Maybe
(09:29):
you've had an insight, Maybe you've you've gone through this week,
have seen the municipal elections, and now you've had an insight.
Burst into your consciousness and you'd like to share that insight.
Feel free to call 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 henriyd iHeartMedia
(09:51):
dot com. That's Uncle henriydiheartmedia dot com. In fact, I
think I did get a uh I did get an email.
Let me go ahead. I've got voicemails to get to.
I've got email to get to. I've got my own
rudimentary thoughts to get to. You can feel free to
join me at two five one four seven nine three.
(10:11):
Let me let me start with this email that came in.
I always enjoy it when somebody uses the old fashioned
electronic mail. The subject line on the email is AI jobs.
The email reads, Hello, Uncle Henry. I just read a
(10:35):
report that one of the jobs most likely to be
impacted by AI is to be broadcast announcers and radio DJs.
Do you feel threatened by these findings? Also? Have you
signed any papers or contracts that will allow for the
use of your name, image, and likeness to be created
(10:57):
by AI? Have you can considered a job change. A
few of the least likely to be impacted by AI
are dishwashers, roofers, and massage therapists. Just a thought, never
too old to learn a new vocation as opposed to
a vacation. And that email from the AI whisperer, whoever
(11:21):
that is so AI whisperer, thank you for sending the email.
I appreciate that email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
I saw the same report that you're talking about about
my job category being one of the most impacted by AI.
I don't really feel threatened. Ask me if I feel
if I'm feeling my feeling threatened. I do not feel
(11:44):
threatened because I've been doing this since nineteen eighty three,
so whatever, however many years that's been, I can't really
I'm not really good with math, which is its been
a great downfall of my life. But it's been a
number of years since nineteen eighty three, and I feel
(12:06):
like I'm probably in the final twenty five thirty years
of my career. So at this point, no, I don't
feel threatened by artificial intelligence. If they tried to create
an artificially intelligent version of me, people that already listened
to me would realize that I'm not that smart. That
(12:29):
it is artificial the intelligence that they've put in it.
So I just I don't feel threatened from that standpoint.
So the answer is no, I don't feel threatened now.
I don't think it would be worth it for my
company to create a fake me. I just don't think
it would be worth it to them when they can
(12:52):
get me for the bargain that they're getting me for
right now. So no, I don't feel threatened by it.
Speaker 11 (12:57):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You also asked if I've signed any papers or contracts
that will allow for the use of my name, image
and likeness to be created by AI. Now I've got
a most, I'd say most everybody that works for a
big company in radio, we all realize that we're work
for hire, and anything anything that I create here belongs
(13:22):
to the company. So any previous show I've done already
belongs to the company. Anything I've recorded in here already
belongs to the company. Now and now, I have not
been asked to sign anything that would allow them to
create new stuff based on me. But I did hear
(13:43):
a I heard a story about another radio station locally
that was and I don't know if this is true.
I haven't talked about it on there because it was hearsay.
Somebody told me something. I don't know if it's true
or not. I've just been told that there's another company
in town that had asked their employees to sign a
(14:05):
deal that would allow the company to clone the voice
of the DJ and make it say whatever they wanted
the DJ to say. I've heard that, but I don't
know if it's true. I would not be surprised if
companies asked for those contracts to be signed. I would
be surprised for people to sign them. Have I considered
(14:30):
a job change is the final question.
Speaker 11 (14:36):
No.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No, I mean, one day that'll probably happen without me
wanting to consider it. But I have not considered a
job changed.
Speaker 11 (14:48):
No.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I really like what I'm doing, and as long as
I'm allowed to do it, I will do it with
the people that are allowing me to do it. But
thank you for your email. Email from the AI whisperer
an email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. I
just they we keep getting told that AI is going
to get better and better, But right now, I think
(15:14):
people can still tell if they're hearing a real person
versus a fake person. I may be completely wrong about that,
but especially in this type of job. I think it's
going to be hard for them to Maybe a year
from now it'll be different, But right now I'm just
not a big worry at the moment. Now again two
(15:37):
five one four seven nine two seven two three the
telephone number, leave me go to a voicemail message.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well, uncle, about this time tomorrow. At this point, I'm
unsure of how things are going to go tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Oh, this is sixty eighty old Chris talking about the
Alabama football game. So at this time tomorrow, the uh,
the Alibabama Florida game will be what in the second
half by.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
Now, from all indications that would appear that it's going
to be another thunderstormy kind of day in Florida for
the University of Alabama football team. We just can't think
to escape it when we have to go there and
play dead gum it.
Speaker 12 (16:21):
But hopefully they'll be able to struggle on through its.
Bear used to say, well, let's rain now the other
team too, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Look by the way, sorry to pause you there, sixty
of year old Chris. Did you see that there was
a documentary? I can't remember if it was about Bill
Belichick or Tom Brady or who it was about. But
if you've seen that documentary where there's a scene where
Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are going over a game
(16:54):
plan for a game where it was going to rain,
and they both seemed delighted that it was gonna rain.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Did you see that?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Look for it if you haven't seen it.
Speaker 12 (17:06):
It's a lot of fun to the August today and
their contest against the Baylor.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And other than that, you just to take yourself a
good old Labor Day weekend. Oh, by the way, will
you be returning on Monday?
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Inquiring minds?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I'm sure I want to know.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Sixty eight year old Chris. Thank you for your voicemail.
I will be off Monday, returning to the Uncle Henry
Show Tuesday, back after the break with more Uncle Henry Show,
(18:07):
Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven ten WNTM. It is
five thirty five. If you'd like to call the show,
you can 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.
(18:30):
Now in the news headlines, we heard that there was
some somebody got assaulted in the walmart in Foley, got
to me to thinking about this because, let's see, there
was we had the news story about an assault at
the Walmart in Foley. Now a couple of years ago,
(18:51):
somebody that worked in the Robertsdale Walmart told me that
they had some issues there. This was not recently, this
was a couple of years ago. They had an issue
in the Robertsdale Walmart where there were prostitutes that would
go in there trying to drum up business, which I
know sounds shocking. It's a shocking concept. But they told
(19:16):
me that these women would go in there and they
hang out in the sporting goods section, the hardware section,
and also near the bier, all very stereotypical, but they did.
They had to chase out some ladies of the evening
(19:36):
from the Walmart in Robertsdale. Now, I've got family that
live near the Fair Hope Walmart, and every time I
visit those family members near the Fair Hope Walmart, it's
a constant stream of police. There are police vehicles always
headed to the Walmart. Now, the reason I'm bringing this
(19:58):
up is I've won wondered why Walmart doesn't create their
own Walmart Security Force, have their own create their own
police department. Why not you go in there, If you
go into one of the big Walmart's, there's somewhere to
get your hair cut, There's a bank in there, There's
(20:20):
got all kinds of services in there, floors in there,
you can get it. You can just get all kind
of stuff taken care of, get your taxes done in
the Walmart. At certain times a year, you go in there,
somebody's trying to try somebody trying to sell you some
type of Medicare plan. They have so many things going
(20:42):
on there. Why not add a police department so that
they can police themselves. I'm serious about this.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Why not they got every other thing up in there.
You can get your car fixed there. You've noticed all that. Yeah,
I'm just I'm waiting. Why have they not?
Speaker 12 (21:06):
Why?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
First of all, why haven't they built apartments in the
back of Walmart's for their workers to live in? That
makes sense too, in addition to having their own police force.
Why don't they have apartments back there where the workers,
the people that work at Walmart, could live there and
(21:28):
they could get paid in Walmart Bucks to be spent
at Walmart. Why isn't this happened just cut out the middleman.
Instead of having called the police, just just dispatch the
Walmart police to wherever the assault is happening. You could
even have a jail in there. And I know you
(21:49):
say that sounds say, Uncle Henry, that sounds insane to
have a jail in the Walmart. I believe there are
some football stadiums that have jails. Doesn't Philadelphia have a
have a jail and a police precinct in their football stadium?
Why not just cut out the middleman? Two five one
(22:11):
four seven nine two seven two three. The telephone number,
that's two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Let me see, I do
have a voicemail to get to. Let me let me
check in with the man who traps the snakes.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
Hey over, Henry snakes effort. Hey man, I got me
a quick glimpse at a beautiful, uh fickle king snake
late yesterday evening, Uncle Henry. Yes, sir, buddy, they are
loving these cool days.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
I don't know if you noticed it or not, but
the days are starting to get shorter, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Snak snake trapper. I haven't noticed that the days are
getting shorter.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
Uh, they are getting signs that the winter is approaching us,
So they're out on the move starting to try to
fatten up for the winter on mmy, Yes, sir, they
love this type of weather, Uncle Henry, somewhere between eighty
five and ninety degrees. Man, that's ideal for them. But yeah, folks,
(23:22):
if you happen to see snakes out in your yard
or in your bushes, they just looking to find them
a mouse or rat, or a mole or in some
cases for smaller snakes, bugs.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Now say, I never knew that. I didn't know that
snakes ate bugs. There's so much I don't know about
snakes because I really don't like them or care about them.
Speaker 13 (23:47):
Yeah, they know winters coming. They got about another month
and a half to start fattening up so they can
get ready for the big sleep. Yeah, just don't mess
with them. Just leave them alone and they'll do their thing.
But man, that was a beautiful kingsnake over. I went
to time to get my phone out to get a
video of it. You know, I didn't get to see
(24:07):
it long. It kind of freaked out. It knew I
wouldn't a rat or.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
A mouse, And well, I might have seen your shirt
if the snake could read snake Trapper wears a shirt
that says snake Trapper on it. So these snakes that
are literate, they're not having any of the snake trapper.
Speaker 13 (24:27):
Oh it may be so it kind of scampered off.
But yeah, man, I just won't share that with you,
my buddy.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
You take care well, Snake treppor thank you for sharing
more snake Lord with the listener, and congratulations to you
on getting to look at what you described as a
beautiful speckled kingsnake. I don't know exactly what that would
look like a beautiful speckled kingsnake, but I'm gonna I
(24:55):
shouldn't make assumptions, but I'll assume that it is a
very beautiful snake. Four seven nine two seven two three.

voicemail number. Emailing voicemue number is two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Well, Uncle Henry is Friday is Alabama football Leave of
row time, roadtime, Marl. We will be playing the Florida
Seminoles at two thirty. Yes, I believe it's podcast on
channel three. Yes, any way, listen. I I heard you
speak and play a voice clip what Barbara Drummonds said
(30:06):
in Montgomery about Trump, our president, and MAGA supporters.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yes, a very derogatory statement.
Speaker 14 (30:16):
I didn't get to hear the six o'clock audio that
you played because I was watching YouTube and you're only
on there for an hour. So I just want to
say that with all the irregularities, what's going on in
the elation on Leyson Day.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Right now, I'm pausing you there. I think this is
the Bama bushak bamba bushok if over the Labor Day weekend,
if you could leave me a voicemail or send me
an email about irregularities, because I don't know exactly what
you mean by that. I know they've had some irregularities
in Prichard, I don't know what you're talking about in
terms of the mobile races. So it's and I'm not
(30:56):
saying there weren't irregularities. I just haven't heard what you're
talking about. So if you could let let me know,
I would appreciate it, so I could know what you
mean by irregularities.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Now back to your message in the elation on the
LES day, even I got turned away from my pull,
A lot of people did with that said, a lot
of people didn't get to vote because they didn't have
time to go somewhere else. And Barbara Drummon turns out
to be a Democratic Socialist and nobody knew about it
until you played that clip.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
All right, Well, now you're saying nobody knows about Barbara
Drummond's politics. Now that is not exactly true. Unless you've
had your you're not paying any attention at all. Barbara
Drummon is on the record. She's in the legislature. She's
been in the legislature, I think over ten years. She's
(31:48):
I think she's the leader of the Democrat Caucus in
the House. She was a delegate to the Democrat National Convention,
a Kamala Harris delegate. To say that no one knows
her politics would not be accurate. I think just about
everybody knows she's She runs as a Democrat. She represents
(32:10):
the Democrat Party in the Alabama Legislature and went to
the Democrat National Convention. So I don't know how you
how would you not know that? But back to your message,
I think I don't know what I think. I think
it was wrong.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
I don't know what to do about it. But I
think had we known all these facts about Barbara Drumming,
I think the lesson would have turned out a little
bit different. Uncle Henry and who knows who be in
a run off anyway, have a great weekend everyone, and
(32:48):
roll Tide.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Roll tied row Bamba bush Hall. Thank you so much
for your message. Again, I'm kind of mystified at how
people would not know she She has a very public
track record. She's been in Mobile. I don't know if
she was born here, but she's lived here for many, many,

(34:18):
says The Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seventy
ten WNT. Thank you for listening to The Uncle Henry Show.
It's a Friday Friday in football season with high school football.
You got the Auburn Tigers kicking off right after seven
o'clock tonight, got the University of South Alabama Jags with
(34:40):
their first game of the season at Hancock Whitney Studium.
Tomorrow night. You got the Alabama Crimson tied Roll Tide
role playing tomorrow at two thirty. What a wonderful time
of year it is. Now in this half hour of show,
(35:01):
I'm gonna do what I I'm gonna do what I
always do. Just try to make it. Just try to
make it to the end of the half hour without
anybody getting hurt. Let's see, I'm going to go over
some news items here with you. You might have missed
these news items. I know I did, so let's learn
together from Yes, I know you'd rut. Maybe you'd rather
(35:24):
talk about football or something like that. Uh, you can
always leave me 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. Now there's a
Let let me get to some news items here. Uh,
the Pritchard City election. Now Tuesday, we had over one
(35:47):
hundred and forty municipalities in the state of Alabama have
elections Pritchard. They're still waiting to find out who is
actually going to be in the mayor's runoff, So let's
le lien. Fox ten is covering this story. They still
have provisional ballots to be counted and Pritchard, so they
(36:07):
don't know. They have no idea what the mayor's race
is going to look like going forward. Let's listen together
as Fox ten explains all this to us.
Speaker 10 (36:17):
And there's still no official results, but here's what we
do know. Carletta Davis receiving thirty six percent of the vote,
and comment Mayor Jimmy Gardner tied with Lorenzo Martin at
twenty four percent.
Speaker 15 (36:27):
That means Davis will make the run off. We're waiting
to find out who the second candidate will be. Clad
and Nichols asking the questions to try to get a
better idea and Claudia.
Speaker 10 (36:36):
Ballots are still being counted.
Speaker 9 (36:38):
They are Lenise and Cameron City officials say thirty six
provisional ballots have to be opened and counted. They say
that won't happen until next Tuesday at noon.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
All right, now, I'm pausing there, and I apologize for
the pausing, But why why would you have to wait
days to open the ballots and count them? Is there
some Is there some rule that it has to be
done on a Tuesday? What are the what are the
rules there? You gotta wait a week to count them?
(37:08):
How hard is this? Does it sound more complicated than
it needs to be? Anyway, let's get back to the story.
I'm already confused. They had the election this past Tuesday.
They have to wait a week to open up the
provisional ballots. Is the ballot opener on vacation and we
got to wait for him to come back? What do
(37:30):
they What's going on? Here, all right, let's listen to
the rest of this.
Speaker 9 (37:34):
And until those votes are certified, we won't know who
is in the runoff.
Speaker 11 (37:39):
How long should we wait?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Not long?
Speaker 11 (37:41):
And real soon we would have a leader that we're
leading goid Us into the next direction and take pritches
to the top the.
Speaker 9 (37:47):
City of Pritchard, anxious to find out who's going head
to head in the runoff for mayor. Results from the
mayor's race posted on the door of the city hall
there were ten candidates in the running.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Now it looks like ten candidates. Pausing there just to
think about that, ten people wanting to run for mayor
of Prichard. Now, when I first heard that there were
ten people running for mayor of Prichard, the very first
thing that popped him into my mind was why would
somebody want that job? Looks like a very difficult job
(38:23):
to me. In fact, there have been many times over
the past twenty thirty forty years that I thought Prichard
might be better off discorporating. I don't know if that's
even a word you've heard of, incorporating. Could you uncorporate?
Could you discorporate? Many times over the past forty years
(38:45):
I thought it'd just be better off if they weren't
a city and let the county run Prichard. But ten
people want to be mayor, and I, after I thought
about it more, I thought, this is actually probably a
good sign, a good sign for Richard, that ten people
wanted to try and do that horrible job, that very difficult,
(39:08):
horrible job. So it just shows me that there are
people in Pritchard that want to make things better. They
want to make things better. So I'm glad they've got
ten people wanting a job. And may the best person win.
Back to the story of why is this taking some
dadgum long?
Speaker 9 (39:26):
It's down to three. None of the candidates received a
majority of the vote on Tuesday. Carletta Davis came closest
with thirty six percent. Incumbent Mayor Jimmy Gardner and former
city councilman Lorenzo Martin tied at twenty four percent. They're
separated by just four votes. It's down to the wire
who will make the runoff. Martin says he won't stop
(39:48):
campaigning until he knows for sure.
Speaker 11 (39:50):
We are planning on being in a runoff and in
a race to take in the city of Pritchard.
Speaker 16 (39:55):
In the right direction.
Speaker 11 (39:56):
The citizens have a right by voting, coming out to
the polling place, been in their precious time, and allowing
that candidate to be chosen, to know exactly whether that
be a runof or whether that be an actual chosen person.
Speaker 9 (40:08):
And Davis says, regardless of who she's up against, her
mission remains the same.
Speaker 16 (40:13):
I think for us, our focus has always been and
will continue to be the people of Pritchard, and so
we're going to go to the people and we're going
to continue to talk to them and get them engaged
and get them to the polls.
Speaker 9 (40:27):
Wednesday, we went to Pritchard's City Hall and tried to
get an interview with Mayor Gardner, but we were told
he wasn't available, and the next day at the city
council meeting, his seat was empty. We asked city officials
why the provisional ballots won't thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Finally, at the end of the report, because I'm sitting
here thinking of why why does it take so long?
Why does it take so long? Why couldn't they have
counted them Tuesday night, this past Tuesday night? Why not
just open them up.
Speaker 9 (40:55):
And count them be counted until next week? But we're
still waiting to hear back. What we do know is
the runoff will be held on September twenty.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Wait a minute, they never answered the question. Let me rewind.
She asked why, and there's no answer.
Speaker 9 (41:09):
Hal And tried to get an interview with Mayor Gardner,
but we were told he wasn't available. In the next day,
at the city council meeting, his seat was empty. We
asked city officials why the provisional ballots won't be counted
until next week, but we're still waiting to hear back.
What we do know is the runoff will be held
on September twenty third, and as soon as we find
(41:32):
out who will be running against Davis.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
We'll let you know, all right, Okay, So they would
not give you an answer, do they know, I mean
they do. They need to create the provisional ballots first
before they can count them. And look, I don't want
to make an accusation. The reason I said what I
just said, are they waiting to create the ballots before
they count them. That's the kind of stuff that pomps
(41:56):
into people's minds when people in charge want to answer questions.
It is a it's human nature. For us humans to
fill in the blanks. We do it all the time.
We try to fill in the blanks, and so when
you don't tell us the answer, we start trying to
come up with our own answers. So why why why
(42:21):
is this taking so long? See, even if there's no shenanigans,
even if there's no mischief, even if everything is completely
above board, you create doubt in our minds by not
even explaining or answering the question. So well, well, I
guess we'll all find out together what's happening next Tuesday.
(42:44):
All right, there's more to come. The Ulklandri Show continues
after the break. Let us take the dad gum break.
Take the break, it says, the Uncle Henry Show. Here
(43:16):
on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. News headlines coming up
in ten minutes for you. Before we get to the
news headlines, back to some news items that I missed.
You might have missed them too. For example, I had
no idea that this week some state lawmakers in Alabama
(43:38):
were heading up into Montgomery to look at the state budget.
Always get nervous. I get nervous when I hear about
Alabama lawmakers doing anything. Yeah, yeah, I'm Sorry, no offense
to Alabama lawmakers. But I always get nervous when I
think of Alabama lawmakers doing anything. Let's find out what
are they doing?
Speaker 4 (43:58):
What are they up to?
Speaker 3 (44:00):
We're going to go to WSFA. They're a stepsister station
to Fox ten, and they're up in Montgomery. Here they
are reporting on what these sneaky Alabama lawmakers are up to.
Up in Montgomery.
Speaker 15 (44:14):
This week, legislators are examining Alabama's expenses to get a
better idea of whether work needs to be done. Alabama
political correspondent Jessica Umbro joins us Live in the Capital
Studio and Jessica, how did the state's Physical division describe
the state's economic help.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
The physical division or do you mean the fiscal division?
Just carrious health?
Speaker 17 (44:37):
Well, it really was a mixed report, some good and
some bad. And that is mainly the uncertainty of not
only recent legislation in Washington, but the fluid economic policies
that have been coming from the nation's capital and how
Alabama lawmakers are reacting legislatively to them.
Speaker 6 (44:53):
I am going to paint a cautionary tale, and I'll
stop just short of calling it the good, the band
and the ugly.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
The voice you're hearing is a man named Kirk Fullford,
Deputy director of the Legislative Services Agency Fiscal Division, but
it's getting.
Speaker 7 (45:13):
Close to it.
Speaker 17 (45:14):
The cautionary tale that the state's Fiscal Division Deputy director
Kirk Fulford told lawmakers is that the state's general fund
and education Fund for this fiscal year looks good, but
says the state could see slower growth in the general
fund in the next few years, combined with more state
obligations for federal programs that are being scaled back or cut.
He says an area of concern is less revenue from
(45:35):
state deposits and a lowered federal interest rate.
Speaker 6 (45:38):
Everything else in the general fund doesn't grow by enough
to offset a big decline in one revenue source.
Speaker 17 (45:44):
Fulford says, if the state keeps spending the way that
they have, they could see a projected ending balance from
the emergency fund going from five hundred and fifty million
in fiscal year twenty twenty four to one hundred and
fifty five million in fiscal year twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
The asks are not going to go away just because
we may have less money to deal with. They're going
to continue to come at you right and left.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
It's a matter of how you deal with us the asks.
You know, that is one thing we've raised now a
few generations of people in this country that just look
to the government first, A lot of them do. A
lot of people look to the government first to solve
any issue and constantly run to the government for money.
(46:33):
So the man is right, the asks are going to
keep coming.
Speaker 11 (46:38):
Now.
Speaker 17 (46:38):
Fulford did say that lawmakers have done a good job
of using any leftover money for one.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
Off projects, leftover money, which he says is.
Speaker 17 (46:46):
Better because it means the state budget isn't relying on
that extra money to get by.
Speaker 15 (46:50):
All right, Thanks a lot, Jessica. And this was just
a meeting, so no action was taken by lawmakers in
reaction to this report. But lawmakers will be tasked with
passing a new general budget and education budget next legislative session,
which is in just about four months.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
Four months away from the legislative session. Gosh, I wish
we could. I wish we could have a meet once
every two years.
Speaker 12 (47:13):
It just.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
They just they get up there and they want to
grandstand and pass this. They want to pass this and
that and make it look like they've done something and
come up with new rules. And if we could just
go to once every two years for the Alabama legislature,
what a blessing that would be, not just for Alabama,
but for humanity. Yes, I believe that way. I do
believe that the less times governmental entities meet, the better
(47:40):
life is for everybody on the planet. Now, let me see,
do I have time for another story for you before
we get to the news headlines? Yes, I got time
for one more story. This is something that I hadn't
thought of in years. But America Online AOL, you remember,
a one of the original methods of how Americans connected
(48:05):
to the Internet, is officially shutting down tomorrow. Here is
Fox News's Eben Brown reporting on how AOL is gonna
finally stop dial up, yes, dial up internet.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Who still uses a dial up Internet connection? AOL, once
called America Online, is officially shutting down the last of
its dial up connection nodes after tomorrow. There was a
time when your Internet connection wasn't constant or even always available.
You needed a landline phone. AOL's dial up service has
(48:42):
been in operation for thirty four years. While dial up
Internet today seems quaint, US Census data shows about one
hundred and sixty thousand Americans still use it to get online.
Eben Brown, Fox News.
Speaker 3 (48:56):
One hundred and sixty thousand people still using the how
about go find them? Please go find them and talk
to them. Do they know?
Speaker 12 (49:08):
Do they know?
Speaker 3 (49:09):
The advance? Is this like the Japanese soldiers that thought
they were still fighting World War II on some island somewhere?
All right, well, one hundred and some thousands still dialing up.
I want to hear somebody. Please go out and find
these people and tell us their stories. I want to
hear about them. All right out of time for this
(49:30):
edition of the Uncle Henry Show. You can listen to
previous episodes. It's a podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Look

(02:23):
Uncle Henry Show.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Here on News Radio seventy ten WNTM, also streaming live
on YouTube. Just look for Uncle Henry Show on YouTube. Well,
here we are again together, just the two of us,
me and you trying to figure out what is going
(02:49):
on in the world around us. And here we are
together on a Friday a wonderful Friday. Now, many people
are ruled by the cale. You may have noticed this.
Many people in our country and our culture in this
country are very calendrically oriented, where certain days of the
week determine their attitude and emotional outlook. Many peoples are
(03:15):
slaves to the calendar. They get in a bad mood
on a Sunday night because they've got to go in
to work on Monday, and then Monday they've got some
type of weird anti Monday bias. Then they begin to
cheer up in the middle of the week, and then
you get to Friday, and it's hard to get people
to do any work because all they're doing on a
(03:35):
Friday is thinking about all the fun they may theoretically
have when they go out and burn up all their paycheck.
Honking talking out there. Just bizarre calendrical just being subservient
to the calendar, some type of calendrical focus. I'm not
one of those people, but if you are, if you're
(03:57):
one of the calendrically focused, today is Friday. This is
the day that you've been programmed to feel joy, whether
there's a reason for it or not. I believe it
was wet Willie that programmed you at an early age
to believe weekend do what you want to do week
end when your working day is through weekend. Weekend, weekend, weekend, weekend. Well,
(04:24):
here we are on a Friday as you face your weekend. Now,
I'm very excited because I do enjoy football as a
diversion from reality, as an entertainment. I don't see it
as anything really real. I see it as a diversion
from reality and an entertainment. We've got your high school football.
(04:46):
I think you've even got Auburn is playing tonight.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Auburn is kicking off tonight, So you've got your Auburn
Tigers playing tonight. Then tomorrow night, you got the South
Alabama Jags playing their first home game of the year
at Hancock Whit Stadium. That game's tomorrow night. And you've
got the Alabama Crimson Tide Roll Tide Row going up
against Florida State at two thirty tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward
(05:12):
to all of it, I'm going to enjoy as much
of it as I can. Now you may think, well,
Uncle Henry, shouldn't you be talking about more important stuff.
There's all kind of important stuff going on in the
world that you could be talking about. Well, I'm I'm
following the example here of the governor of the state
of Alabama, k Ivy. K Ivy went on X today,
(05:35):
the social media platform X. I looked on the X
app today and there was k Ivy. If you haven't
already heard it, here is Governor k Ivy, Alabama's k
Ivy commenting about football today on the X app.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
All right, Alabama, it's game time right now?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Doesn't she say?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I'm vigorant?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Now, that's not all she had to say, But I
wanted to pause there because aren't you excited that she
sounds so vigorous? The governor of Alabama of advanced years,
battling numerous health issues, still sounding full of vim and vigor.
Let's listen again at all of the vigorousness there.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
All right, Alabama, it's game time. We're coming off one
heck of a good yell the Crimson Tide of the
world's best and most unified athletic program in Alabama, tir
or uc ain't national shelves. Jordan Has Stadium has been
named one of the toughest game day atmospheres in all
(06:39):
of college football.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
By the way, Whoever, when you elect politicians in Alabama,
always try to go for somebody with this kind of accent,
because even when they tell you stuff you don't want
to hear, because I didn't need to hear the stuff
about Auburn. Even when they tell you stuff you don't
want to hear, like maybe your taxes are going up
and stuff like that, it always sounds better with the accent.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It just it does to me.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It does to me even when you're giving me at
giving me bad news about taxes going up or that
kind of stuff. Back to k Ivy's message, and let's.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Not forget about the open Tiger's marching band coming in
at number one Troy South Alabama and U ain't be
I'll win it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
She even said the word Troy in a wonderful way.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Troy in titles and bringing home trophies, our HBCUs, stacking talent,
and sending NFL prospects to the next level. Yoll, this
is how I State does football, and I am ready
for some college football.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
All right, there she is. You can tell she's sincere.
She's ready. And once again, let's listen to the beginning
of this so in case you're worried about her health.
You can hear the vigorousness of it all.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Right down Withabama, it's game time.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
See she was able to staying in an extended game time.
So k ivy, k ivy, enjoying that we're back into
football season, just like me and just like you. So
I hope we all, I hope we get the results
we're looking for this weekend and enjoy all of the fun,
the pageantry, the name, image, likeness, all the stuff that
(08:22):
now swirls around our football. Of course, there are other
things to get to, Yeah, and I'll get to them.
As The Uncle Henry Show proceeds forward in the time stream,
first a break for traffic and weather, and then back
with more Uncle Henry's Show. On this Friday, it says
(09:08):
the Uncle Henry Show. Here on News Radio seven ten WNTM,
and on YouTube it is five twenty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes from Fox ten and from Fox
Radio National News. Now, if you'd like to call the
Uncle Henry Show if there's something on your mind, Maybe
(09:29):
you've had an insight, Maybe you've you've gone through this week,
have seen the municipal elections, and now you've had an insight.
Burst into your consciousness and you'd like to share that insight.
Feel free to call 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 henriyd iHeartMedia
(09:51):
dot com. That's Uncle henriydiheartmedia dot com. In fact, I
think I did get a uh I did get an email.
Let me go ahead. I've got voicemails to get to.
I've got email to get to. I've got my own
rudimentary thoughts to get to. You can feel free to
join me at two five one four seven nine three.
(10:11):
Let me let me start with this email that came in.
I always enjoy it when somebody uses the old fashioned
electronic mail. The subject line on the email is AI jobs.
The email reads, Hello, Uncle Henry. I just read a
(10:35):
report that one of the jobs most likely to be
impacted by AI is to be broadcast announcers and radio DJs.
Do you feel threatened by these findings? Also? Have you
signed any papers or contracts that will allow for the
use of your name, image, and likeness to be created
(10:57):
by AI? Have you can considered a job change. A
few of the least likely to be impacted by AI
are dishwashers, roofers, and massage therapists. Just a thought, never
too old to learn a new vocation as opposed to
a vacation. And that email from the AI whisperer, whoever
(11:21):
that is so AI whisperer, thank you for sending the email.
I appreciate that email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
I saw the same report that you're talking about about
my job category being one of the most impacted by AI.
I don't really feel threatened. Ask me if I feel
if I'm feeling my feeling threatened. I do not feel
(11:44):
threatened because I've been doing this since nineteen eighty three,
so whatever, however many years that's been, I can't really
I'm not really good with math, which is its been
a great downfall of my life. But it's been a
number of years since nineteen eighty three, and I feel
(12:06):
like I'm probably in the final twenty five thirty years
of my career. So at this point, no, I don't
feel threatened by artificial intelligence. If they tried to create
an artificially intelligent version of me, people that already listened
to me would realize that I'm not that smart. That
(12:29):
it is artificial the intelligence that they've put in it.
So I just I don't feel threatened from that standpoint.
So the answer is no, I don't feel threatened now.
I don't think it would be worth it for my
company to create a fake me. I just don't think
it would be worth it to them when they can
(12:52):
get me for the bargain that they're getting me for
right now. So no, I don't feel threatened by it.
Speaker 11 (12:57):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You also asked if I've signed any papers or contracts
that will allow for the use of my name, image
and likeness to be created by AI. Now I've got
a most, I'd say most everybody that works for a
big company in radio, we all realize that we're work
for hire, and anything anything that I create here belongs
(13:22):
to the company. So any previous show I've done already
belongs to the company. Anything I've recorded in here already
belongs to the company. Now and now, I have not
been asked to sign anything that would allow them to
create new stuff based on me. But I did hear
(13:43):
a I heard a story about another radio station locally
that was and I don't know if this is true.
I haven't talked about it on there because it was hearsay.
Somebody told me something. I don't know if it's true
or not. I've just been told that there's another company
in town that had asked their employees to sign a
(14:05):
deal that would allow the company to clone the voice
of the DJ and make it say whatever they wanted
the DJ to say. I've heard that, but I don't
know if it's true. I would not be surprised if
companies asked for those contracts to be signed. I would
be surprised for people to sign them. Have I considered
(14:30):
a job change is the final question.
Speaker 11 (14:36):
No.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
No, I mean, one day that'll probably happen without me
wanting to consider it. But I have not considered a
job changed.
Speaker 11 (14:48):
No.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I really like what I'm doing, and as long as
I'm allowed to do it, I will do it with
the people that are allowing me to do it. But
thank you for your email. Email from the AI whisperer
an email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. I
just they we keep getting told that AI is going
to get better and better, But right now, I think
(15:14):
people can still tell if they're hearing a real person
versus a fake person. I may be completely wrong about that,
but especially in this type of job. I think it's
going to be hard for them to Maybe a year
from now it'll be different, But right now I'm just
not a big worry at the moment. Now again two
(15:37):
five one four seven nine two seven two three the
telephone number, leave me go to a voicemail message.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well, uncle, about this time tomorrow. At this point, I'm
unsure of how things are going to go tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Oh, this is sixty eighty old Chris talking about the
Alabama football game. So at this time tomorrow, the uh,
the Alibabama Florida game will be what in the second
half by.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
Now, from all indications that would appear that it's going
to be another thunderstormy kind of day in Florida for
the University of Alabama football team. We just can't think
to escape it when we have to go there and
play dead gum it.
Speaker 12 (16:21):
But hopefully they'll be able to struggle on through its.
Bear used to say, well, let's rain now the other
team too, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Look by the way, sorry to pause you there, sixty
of year old Chris. Did you see that there was
a documentary? I can't remember if it was about Bill
Belichick or Tom Brady or who it was about. But
if you've seen that documentary where there's a scene where
Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are going over a game
(16:54):
plan for a game where it was going to rain,
and they both seemed delighted that it was gonna rain.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Did you see that?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Look for it if you haven't seen it.
Speaker 12 (17:06):
It's a lot of fun to the August today and
their contest against the Baylor.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And other than that, you just to take yourself a
good old Labor Day weekend. Oh, by the way, will
you be returning on Monday?
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Inquiring minds?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I'm sure I want to know.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Sixty eight year old Chris. Thank you for your voicemail.
I will be off Monday, returning to the Uncle Henry
Show Tuesday, back after the break with more Uncle Henry Show,
(18:07):
Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven ten WNTM. It is
five thirty five. If you'd like to call the show,
you can 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.
(18:30):
Now in the news headlines, we heard that there was
some somebody got assaulted in the walmart in Foley, got
to me to thinking about this because, let's see, there
was we had the news story about an assault at
the Walmart in Foley. Now a couple of years ago,
(18:51):
somebody that worked in the Robertsdale Walmart told me that
they had some issues there. This was not recently, this
was a couple of years ago. They had an issue
in the Robertsdale Walmart where there were prostitutes that would
go in there trying to drum up business, which I
know sounds shocking. It's a shocking concept. But they told
(19:16):
me that these women would go in there and they
hang out in the sporting goods section, the hardware section,
and also near the bier, all very stereotypical, but they did.
They had to chase out some ladies of the evening
(19:36):
from the Walmart in Robertsdale. Now, I've got family that
live near the Fair Hope Walmart, and every time I
visit those family members near the Fair Hope Walmart, it's
a constant stream of police. There are police vehicles always
headed to the Walmart. Now, the reason I'm bringing this
(19:58):
up is I've won wondered why Walmart doesn't create their
own Walmart Security Force, have their own create their own
police department. Why not you go in there, If you
go into one of the big Walmart's, there's somewhere to
get your hair cut, There's a bank in there, There's
(20:20):
got all kinds of services in there, floors in there,
you can get it. You can just get all kind
of stuff taken care of, get your taxes done in
the Walmart. At certain times a year, you go in there,
somebody's trying to try somebody trying to sell you some
type of Medicare plan. They have so many things going
(20:42):
on there. Why not add a police department so that
they can police themselves. I'm serious about this.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Why not they got every other thing up in there.
You can get your car fixed there. You've noticed all that. Yeah,
I'm just I'm waiting. Why have they not?
Speaker 12 (21:06):
Why?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
First of all, why haven't they built apartments in the
back of Walmart's for their workers to live in? That
makes sense too, in addition to having their own police force.
Why don't they have apartments back there where the workers,
the people that work at Walmart, could live there and
(21:28):
they could get paid in Walmart Bucks to be spent
at Walmart. Why isn't this happened just cut out the middleman.
Instead of having called the police, just just dispatch the
Walmart police to wherever the assault is happening. You could
even have a jail in there. And I know you
(21:49):
say that sounds say, Uncle Henry, that sounds insane to
have a jail in the Walmart. I believe there are
some football stadiums that have jails. Doesn't Philadelphia have a
have a jail and a police precinct in their football stadium?
Why not just cut out the middleman? Two five one

that's two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle

check in with the man who traps the snakes.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
Hey over, Henry snakes effort. Hey man, I got me
a quick glimpse at a beautiful, uh fickle king snake
late yesterday evening, Uncle Henry. Yes, sir, buddy, they are
loving these cool days.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
I don't know if you noticed it or not, but
the days are starting to get shorter, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Snak snake trapper. I haven't noticed that the days are
getting shorter.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
Uh, they are getting signs that the winter is approaching us,
So they're out on the move starting to try to
fatten up for the winter on mmy, Yes, sir, they
love this type of weather, Uncle Henry, somewhere between eighty
five and ninety degrees. Man, that's ideal for them. But yeah, folks,
(23:22):
if you happen to see snakes out in your yard
or in your bushes, they just looking to find them
a mouse or rat, or a mole or in some
cases for smaller snakes, bugs.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Now say, I never knew that. I didn't know that
snakes ate bugs. There's so much I don't know about
snakes because I really don't like them or care about them.
Speaker 13 (23:47):
Yeah, they know winters coming. They got about another month
and a half to start fattening up so they can
get ready for the big sleep. Yeah, just don't mess
with them. Just leave them alone and they'll do their thing.
But man, that was a beautiful kingsnake over. I went
to time to get my phone out to get a
video of it. You know, I didn't get to see
(24:07):
it long. It kind of freaked out. It knew I
wouldn't a rat or.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
A mouse, And well, I might have seen your shirt
if the snake could read snake Trapper wears a shirt
that says snake Trapper on it. So these snakes that
are literate, they're not having any of the snake trapper.
Speaker 13 (24:27):
Oh it may be so it kind of scampered off.
But yeah, man, I just won't share that with you,
my buddy.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
You take care well, Snake treppor thank you for sharing
more snake Lord with the listener, and congratulations to you
on getting to look at what you described as a
beautiful speckled kingsnake. I don't know exactly what that would
look like a beautiful speckled kingsnake, but I'm gonna I
(24:55):
shouldn't make assumptions, but I'll assume that it is a
very beautiful snake. Four seven nine two seven two three.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
There was a press release earlier this week from the
City of Mobile that is talking about an event coming
up September twenty seventh, so I thought i'd tell you
about this to make sure you put it on your calendar.
The press release reads, the golf Quest Boondoggle is going

family Fun Day. It reads as follows. It says, to

twenty seventh, from ten to four. On that date, mobilias
and visitors are invited to explore the rich maritime history
of the Gouff showcased inside of the biggest taxpayer boondoggle,
(26:27):
one of the biggest in the history of the Gulf Coast.
It's the perfect opportunity to see some of the unique

for them, and enjoy food and drinks from the Fresh
Fruit Cafe and other great local vendors. Let's see. The
executive director says, quote, if you've never experienced this big

Boondoggle museum, this is a wonderful opportunity to come and

learning the fascinating history of the Pelican Girls, there is
something for everyone to enjoy. Come help us celebrate ten

voicemail number. Emailing voicemue number is two five one two

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Well, Uncle Henry is Friday is Alabama football Leave of
row time, roadtime, Marl. We will be playing the Florida
Seminoles at two thirty. Yes, I believe it's podcast on
channel three. Yes, any way, listen. I I heard you
speak and play a voice clip what Barbara Drummonds said
(30:06):
in Montgomery about Trump, our president, and MAGA supporters.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yes, a very derogatory statement.
Speaker 14 (30:16):
I didn't get to hear the six o'clock audio that
you played because I was watching YouTube and you're only
on there for an hour. So I just want to
say that with all the irregularities, what's going on in
the elation on Leyson Day.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Right now, I'm pausing you there. I think this is
the Bama bushak bamba bushok if over the Labor Day weekend,
if you could leave me a voicemail or send me
an email about irregularities, because I don't know exactly what
you mean by that. I know they've had some irregularities
in Prichard, I don't know what you're talking about in
terms of the mobile races. So it's and I'm not
(30:56):
saying there weren't irregularities. I just haven't heard what you're
talking about. So if you could let let me know,
I would appreciate it, so I could know what you
mean by irregularities.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Now back to your message in the elation on the
LES day, even I got turned away from my pull,
A lot of people did with that said, a lot
of people didn't get to vote because they didn't have
time to go somewhere else. And Barbara Drummon turns out
to be a Democratic Socialist and nobody knew about it
until you played that clip.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
All right, Well, now you're saying nobody knows about Barbara
Drummond's politics. Now that is not exactly true. Unless you've
had your you're not paying any attention at all. Barbara
Drummon is on the record. She's in the legislature. She's
been in the legislature, I think over ten years. She's
(31:48):
I think she's the leader of the Democrat Caucus in
the House. She was a delegate to the Democrat National Convention,
a Kamala Harris delegate. To say that no one knows
her politics would not be accurate. I think just about
everybody knows she's She runs as a Democrat. She represents
(32:10):
the Democrat Party in the Alabama Legislature and went to
the Democrat National Convention. So I don't know how you
how would you not know that? But back to your message,
I think I don't know what I think. I think
it was wrong.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
I don't know what to do about it. But I
think had we known all these facts about Barbara Drumming,
I think the lesson would have turned out a little
bit different. Uncle Henry and who knows who be in
a run off anyway, have a great weekend everyone, and
(32:48):
roll Tide.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Roll tied row Bamba bush Hall. Thank you so much
for your message. Again, I'm kind of mystified at how
people would not know she She has a very public
track record. She's been in Mobile. I don't know if
she was born here, but she's lived here for many, many,
many many years, so her track records. All you have
(33:13):
to do is actually turn on the computer and actually
look her up, and you will find everything you need
to know, including the stuff that I shared with you
Wednesday on the show. Now, you said you didn't get
to hear the audio that I played. The rest of
her talk. The Uncle Henry Shows available as a podcast.
(33:36):
You can find it on the iHeartRadio app and at
NewsRadio seven ten dot com. If you want to hear
her speech about the dangers of Donald Trump and the
MAGA Republicans, you just listen to the podcast from Wednesday.
It's all there, back with more after the break. This
(34:18):

of year it is. Now in this half hour of show,
(35:01):
I'm gonna do what I I'm gonna do what I
always do. Just try to make it. Just try to
make it to the end of the half hour without
anybody getting hurt. Let's see, I'm going to go over
some news items here with you. You might have missed
these news items. I know I did, so let's learn
together from Yes, I know you'd rut. Maybe you'd rather
(35:24):
talk about football or something like that. Uh, you can
always leave me 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. Now there's a
Let let me get to some news items here. Uh,
the Pritchard City election. Now Tuesday, we had over one
(35:47):
hundred and forty municipalities in the state of Alabama have
elections Pritchard. They're still waiting to find out who is
actually going to be in the mayor's runoff, So let's
le lien. Fox ten is covering this story. They still
have provisional ballots to be counted and Pritchard, so they
(36:07):
don't know. They have no idea what the mayor's race
is going to look like going forward. Let's listen together
as Fox ten explains all this to us.
Speaker 10 (36:17):
And there's still no official results, but here's what we
do know. Carletta Davis receiving thirty six percent of the vote,
and comment Mayor Jimmy Gardner tied with Lorenzo Martin at
twenty four percent.
Speaker 15 (36:27):
That means Davis will make the run off. We're waiting
to find out who the second candidate will be. Clad
and Nichols asking the questions to try to get a
better idea and Claudia.
Speaker 10 (36:36):
Ballots are still being counted.
Speaker 9 (36:38):
They are Lenise and Cameron City officials say thirty six
provisional ballots have to be opened and counted. They say
that won't happen until next Tuesday at noon.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
All right, now, I'm pausing there, and I apologize for
the pausing, But why why would you have to wait
days to open the ballots and count them? Is there
some Is there some rule that it has to be
done on a Tuesday? What are the what are the
rules there? You gotta wait a week to count them?
(37:08):
How hard is this? Does it sound more complicated than
it needs to be? Anyway, let's get back to the story.
I'm already confused. They had the election this past Tuesday.
They have to wait a week to open up the
provisional ballots. Is the ballot opener on vacation and we
got to wait for him to come back? What do
(37:30):
they What's going on? Here, all right, let's listen to
the rest of this.
Speaker 9 (37:34):
And until those votes are certified, we won't know who
is in the runoff.
Speaker 11 (37:39):
How long should we wait?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Not long?
Speaker 11 (37:41):
And real soon we would have a leader that we're
leading goid Us into the next direction and take pritches
to the top the.
Speaker 9 (37:47):
City of Pritchard, anxious to find out who's going head
to head in the runoff for mayor. Results from the
mayor's race posted on the door of the city hall
there were ten candidates in the running.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Now it looks like ten candidates. Pausing there just to
think about that, ten people wanting to run for mayor
of Prichard. Now, when I first heard that there were
ten people running for mayor of Prichard, the very first
thing that popped him into my mind was why would
somebody want that job? Looks like a very difficult job
(38:23):
to me. In fact, there have been many times over
the past twenty thirty forty years that I thought Prichard
might be better off discorporating. I don't know if that's
even a word you've heard of, incorporating. Could you uncorporate?
Could you discorporate? Many times over the past forty years
(38:45):
I thought it'd just be better off if they weren't
a city and let the county run Prichard. But ten
people want to be mayor, and I, after I thought
about it more, I thought, this is actually probably a
good sign, a good sign for Richard, that ten people
wanted to try and do that horrible job, that very difficult,
(39:08):
horrible job. So it just shows me that there are
people in Pritchard that want to make things better. They
want to make things better. So I'm glad they've got
ten people wanting a job. And may the best person win.
Back to the story of why is this taking some
dadgum long?
Speaker 9 (39:26):
It's down to three. None of the candidates received a
majority of the vote on Tuesday. Carletta Davis came closest
with thirty six percent. Incumbent Mayor Jimmy Gardner and former
city councilman Lorenzo Martin tied at twenty four percent. They're
separated by just four votes. It's down to the wire
who will make the runoff. Martin says he won't stop
(39:48):
campaigning until he knows for sure.
Speaker 11 (39:50):
We are planning on being in a runoff and in
a race to take in the city of Pritchard.
Speaker 16 (39:55):
In the right direction.
Speaker 11 (39:56):
The citizens have a right by voting, coming out to
the polling place, been in their precious time, and allowing
that candidate to be chosen, to know exactly whether that
be a runof or whether that be an actual chosen person.
Speaker 9 (40:08):
And Davis says, regardless of who she's up against, her
mission remains the same.
Speaker 16 (40:13):
I think for us, our focus has always been and
will continue to be the people of Pritchard, and so
we're going to go to the people and we're going
to continue to talk to them and get them engaged
and get them to the polls.
Speaker 9 (40:27):
Wednesday, we went to Pritchard's City Hall and tried to
get an interview with Mayor Gardner, but we were told
he wasn't available, and the next day at the city
council meeting, his seat was empty. We asked city officials
why the provisional ballots won't thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Finally, at the end of the report, because I'm sitting
here thinking of why why does it take so long?
Why does it take so long? Why couldn't they have
counted them Tuesday night, this past Tuesday night? Why not
just open them up.
Speaker 9 (40:55):
And count them be counted until next week? But we're
still waiting to hear back. What we do know is
the runoff will be held on September twenty.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Wait a minute, they never answered the question. Let me rewind.
She asked why, and there's no answer.
Speaker 9 (41:09):
Hal And tried to get an interview with Mayor Gardner,
but we were told he wasn't available. In the next day,
at the city council meeting, his seat was empty. We
asked city officials why the provisional ballots won't be counted
until next week, but we're still waiting to hear back.
What we do know is the runoff will be held
on September twenty third, and as soon as we find
(41:32):
out who will be running against Davis.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
We'll let you know, all right, Okay, So they would
not give you an answer, do they know, I mean
they do. They need to create the provisional ballots first
before they can count them. And look, I don't want
to make an accusation. The reason I said what I
just said, are they waiting to create the ballots before
they count them. That's the kind of stuff that pomps
(41:56):
into people's minds when people in charge want to answer questions.
It is a it's human nature. For us humans to
fill in the blanks. We do it all the time.
We try to fill in the blanks, and so when
you don't tell us the answer, we start trying to
come up with our own answers. So why why why
(42:21):
is this taking so long? See, even if there's no shenanigans,
even if there's no mischief, even if everything is completely
above board, you create doubt in our minds by not
even explaining or answering the question. So well, well, I
guess we'll all find out together what's happening next Tuesday.
(42:44):
All right, there's more to come. The Ulklandri Show continues
after the break. Let us take the dad gum break.
Take the break, it says, the Uncle Henry Show. Here
(43:16):
on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. News headlines coming up
in ten minutes for you. Before we get to the
news headlines, back to some news items that I missed.
You might have missed them too. For example, I had
no idea that this week some state lawmakers in Alabama
(43:38):
were heading up into Montgomery to look at the state budget.
Always get nervous. I get nervous when I hear about
Alabama lawmakers doing anything. Yeah, yeah, I'm Sorry, no offense
to Alabama lawmakers. But I always get nervous when I
think of Alabama lawmakers doing anything. Let's find out what
are they doing?
Speaker 4 (43:58):
What are they up to?
Speaker 3 (44:00):
We're going to go to WSFA. They're a stepsister station
to Fox ten, and they're up in Montgomery. Here they
are reporting on what these sneaky Alabama lawmakers are up to.
Up in Montgomery.
Speaker 15 (44:14):
This week, legislators are examining Alabama's expenses to get a
better idea of whether work needs to be done. Alabama
political correspondent Jessica Umbro joins us Live in the Capital
Studio and Jessica, how did the state's Physical division describe
the state's economic help.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
The physical division or do you mean the fiscal division?
Just carrious health?
Speaker 17 (44:37):
Well, it really was a mixed report, some good and
some bad. And that is mainly the uncertainty of not
only recent legislation in Washington, but the fluid economic policies
that have been coming from the nation's capital and how
Alabama lawmakers are reacting legislatively to them.
Speaker 6 (44:53):
I am going to paint a cautionary tale, and I'll
stop just short of calling it the good, the band
and the ugly.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
The voice you're hearing is a man named Kirk Fullford,
Deputy director of the Legislative Services Agency Fiscal Division, but
it's getting.
Speaker 7 (45:13):
Close to it.
Speaker 17 (45:14):
The cautionary tale that the state's Fiscal Division Deputy director
Kirk Fulford told lawmakers is that the state's general fund
and education Fund for this fiscal year looks good, but
says the state could see slower growth in the general
fund in the next few years, combined with more state
obligations for federal programs that are being scaled back or cut.
He says an area of concern is less revenue from
(45:35):
state deposits and a lowered federal interest rate.
Speaker 6 (45:38):
Everything else in the general fund doesn't grow by enough
to offset a big decline in one revenue source.
Speaker 17 (45:44):
Fulford says, if the state keeps spending the way that
they have, they could see a projected ending balance from
the emergency fund going from five hundred and fifty million
in fiscal year twenty twenty four to one hundred and
fifty five million in fiscal year twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
The asks are not going to go away just because
we may have less money to deal with. They're going
to continue to come at you right and left.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
It's a matter of how you deal with us the asks.
You know, that is one thing we've raised now a
few generations of people in this country that just look
to the government first, A lot of them do. A
lot of people look to the government first to solve
any issue and constantly run to the government for money.
(46:33):
So the man is right, the asks are going to
keep coming.
Speaker 11 (46:38):
Now.
Speaker 17 (46:38):
Fulford did say that lawmakers have done a good job
of using any leftover money for one.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
Off projects, leftover money, which he says is.
Speaker 17 (46:46):
Better because it means the state budget isn't relying on
that extra money to get by.
Speaker 15 (46:50):
All right, Thanks a lot, Jessica. And this was just
a meeting, so no action was taken by lawmakers in
reaction to this report. But lawmakers will be tasked with
passing a new general budget and education budget next legislative session,
which is in just about four months.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
Four months away from the legislative session. Gosh, I wish
we could. I wish we could have a meet once
every two years.
Speaker 12 (47:13):
It just.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
They just they get up there and they want to
grandstand and pass this. They want to pass this and
that and make it look like they've done something and
come up with new rules. And if we could just
go to once every two years for the Alabama legislature,
what a blessing that would be, not just for Alabama,
but for humanity. Yes, I believe that way. I do
believe that the less times governmental entities meet, the better
(47:40):
life is for everybody on the planet. Now, let me see,
do I have time for another story for you before
we get to the news headlines? Yes, I got time
for one more story. This is something that I hadn't
thought of in years. But America Online AOL, you remember,
a one of the original methods of how Americans connected
(48:05):
to the Internet, is officially shutting down tomorrow. Here is
Fox News's Eben Brown reporting on how AOL is gonna
finally stop dial up, yes, dial up internet.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Who still uses a dial up Internet connection? AOL, once
called America Online, is officially shutting down the last of
its dial up connection nodes after tomorrow. There was a
time when your Internet connection wasn't constant or even always available.
You needed a landline phone. AOL's dial up service has
(48:42):
been in operation for thirty four years. While dial up
Internet today seems quaint, US Census data shows about one
hundred and sixty thousand Americans still use it to get online.
Eben Brown, Fox News.
Speaker 3 (48:56):
One hundred and sixty thousand people still using the how
about go find them? Please go find them and talk
to them. Do they know?
Speaker 12 (49:08):
Do they know?
Speaker 3 (49:09):
The advance? Is this like the Japanese soldiers that thought
they were still fighting World War II on some island somewhere?
All right, well, one hundred and some thousands still dialing up.
I want to hear somebody. Please go out and find
these people and tell us their stories. I want to
hear about them. All right out of time for this
