Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey ever, Henry, how you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Snake trapper? Snake trapper? You are lying on the radio,
Uncle Henry.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I got a text message Friday about two o'clock and
I get off somewhere around three, and uh it was
somebody took a picture of a huge snake under their
car port, and I wanted to know what kind it
was and if it was dangerous and all that good stuff,
Uncle Henry. It was one of the largest gray rat
(00:28):
snakes I have seen in a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Now what does that mean? How large is one of
the largest.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Uncle Henry?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Just by the picture alone and what it was besides,
this one was six foot plus, which for this area
is a large rat snake. They were, they were terrified
of it. I wanted to know what kind it was. Well,
I I told them that it was that it was
definitely a large rat snake, and told them what it eats,
and you know how you can actually even handle them,
(00:58):
and they was not known his biders in all. And
I actually wanted to go get the snake, but since
it was a non venomous snake and you know, they
decided to just you know, let it alone. But uh,
oc Henry, that is one I definitely would not have
relocated that one would have gotten eaten.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh, written us, now, so you would have eaten? Does that?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Have you eaten rat snake?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Uncle Henry? Is rare to get one that large. One
that large would definitely be an eating size.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
But have you have you eaten a rat snake?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh? Yes, sir, I have I have eaten rat snake.
But you need at least a five and a half
or six foot which is a probably about a twenty
year old rat snake.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Does wow? Does now? Does do? Does rat snake meat?
Does it taste like? I mean, does it have any
rat flavor to it? Does? Does it? Because it eats rats?
Does it have rat flavor to the rat snake meat?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Un necessarily that they don't just eat rats over and
they're predominantly egg eaters. I mean, you'll find them anywhere
you find chicken cubs. You know, they'll they'll hang out
around there eating eggs. They're called rat snake souse. They
you know, when you feeding your chickens, they'll get in
your rats, will get in your chicken feed, and they'll
hang around there and they'll also eat the rats and
the mice. But no, sir, they're probably close, I guess
(02:23):
I would say between a frog and a an an alligator,
probably would. They're they're very good eating. But like I said, man,
it's rare that you'll get a six foot one like that,
And that one was definitely I told the lady I
was gonna mention it on the radio. She would be listening.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, I'm surprised at you because it's I'm surprised that
you wouldn't want that. You have such compassion for possums.
If it's a twenty year old ranch snake, you don't
have compassion for the twenty year old ranch nag.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
No, sir, not one. Not one that's that's that big
and ready, you know, like I said, that's rare that
you'll get one that big. On, Henry, Okay, the thing
is done lived its life. I mean it's it's ready
to go through the cycle. Okay, I run it through
my through the cycle of life.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Okay, it would have been It would.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Have been a good eating when you don't have to
worry about too many bones, you know, the small snakes.
You know, you need large ones to eat, and that
would have definitely been a good one. Well man, over, Henry,
I wanted to share that with you. But what I
actually wanted to tell you about. Have you heard any
of the conspiracy theories on this Blue Origin crab with
the spies were Jeff Bezos sent the seven women in
(03:34):
the in the orbit for about eleven minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
The only conspiracy theory that I've seen was pictures of
the badge they were wearing, and people were claiming that
that it was a satanic symbol secretly on their on
their space suits.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Oh yes, sir, I've also seen that. But but what
what's caught my attention over, Henry is uh, I don't
believe that that. You know, I believe that they did
what they said they were going to do, but they're
definitely parts of that were staged. And I'll give you
an example. You've probably seen the video where Jeff Bezo
was running around outside the spacecraft opened up when it
(04:12):
first landed, and he fell in a hole, tripped over
and fell. I don't know if you've seen that video
or not. I did not, but anyway, that and then
it shows him going up to the spacecraft and opening
the door from the outside. Well, for one, the door
opened from the inside just before he put his little
(04:32):
tool in to open it up. Yeah, and also too
that spacecraft was a third of the size of the
one he was running around where he tripped over and
fell in the hole. Man, you get a chance look
that video up. Parts of that was definitely staged, don't
we Henry.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Okay, Snake Trevor, thank you for that. You've given me
things about snakes and conspiracies to think about.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yes, sir, you take care of my Thank.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
You, Snake Trevor appreciate that very much. There's more Uncle
Henry Show to come after the news break here on
news Radio seventy ten WNTM. It says, the Uncle Henry
(05:33):
Show here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. Thank you
for listening to the Uncle Henry Shaw. I appreciate it
very very much. Now, in this half hour of show,
I'm going to get some voicemail messages and some news items.
I want to start with a voicemail voice my number
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's
(05:54):
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six, to
leave a message for the Uncle Henry's Show. Now, this message,
I wanted to start with a message because it's about Easter.
It's from our friend sixty seven year old Chris and
west Locksley. He's often left messages about things, different food
(06:15):
items he's eating on Sundays, things like that. Well, according
to this message, he went and visited his son. He's
got an adult son. He calls him the number one
son or number one. I don't maybe he just calls
him the number one. But anyway, anyway, here is sixty
seven year old Chris with a message about Easter with
his son.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Bro God. Well, uncle, I hope you that is outstanding
the Easter weekend as I did today. After church service,
Srita and.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I Serriita Bing his young daughter.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Ventured out to Westmobile to see Number one him and
his wife, and he had on the tragger. Oh rib
about that, I'd say it's probably probably run a good
twenty two to twenty four ounces.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
All right, I'm pausing just to applaud this. And I
like you, and you gave some specifications there. You didn't
say as big as a catcher's meant or something like that.
You said twenty two to twenty four ounces. Very appreciedive.
This is good. People need protein. You may read up
on this protein. Very important listener in case you haven't
(07:29):
noticed protein's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Two to twenty four ounces, about an inch and a
half thick. And it was some chump and then a
couple of Philip MiG nines philet mignon, and uh, then
we had some.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Ribbi and filet filet mignon. Now to each his owe,
to each his own. I'm a I'm a big fan
of the ribbi. I know a lot of people love
the filet. In fact, a lot of women love to
order the fileet. I'm not saying that if you're a
man in your order the fillet, that you're feminine. I'm
(08:07):
just making an observation that many women like the filet.
I'm a huge fan of the ribb. I believe it,
it will, it will forever be my favorite cut of beef.
Although I don't know. Maybe that can be a quest
of mine before before my time is done on this planet,
to examine the different cuts of beef. Is there a
(08:27):
different Is there a steak that maybe maybe I like
as much, or almost as much, or maybe even better.
I won't know until I try, so all I gotta
do is wait for the price of beef to come down,
and then I'll get to it.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Cream cake After that, oh.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Wait, what kind of cake did you have after that?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Then? We had some ice cream cake after that.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Ice cream cake, after the ribbi and filet mignon.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Oh yeah, we had a baked potato on the side. Man,
I tell you what, that boy he knows how to
keep his pappy happy. I'll tell you that right now.
M mm hmm ah, roll tide, mister, roll tide roll.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Sixty seven year old Chris, thank you for sharing that
that slice of your life with me and with the
listener voice man number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. And uh, I know some listeners have
called Chris the mooch, describing his trips to the church
(09:33):
potluck lunches as some type of mooching operation. Uh. This
was not mooching in any way, shape or form, as
as far as I can tell. This was Chris's son
honoring his father, honoring his pappy is Chris might put it,
the son knows that the dad likes the the big ribbis,
(09:56):
the big philis, and the sun got the te greer
grill out and honored us his pappy. So, sixty seven
year old Chris, congratulations that you've got great relations with
your kids and that one of them honoring you with
a grilling of meat. That is just what a wonderful,
(10:16):
what a wonderful way to have a relationship with a
father and son is through meat exchange. All right again
voicemail six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. Now, instead of going into
another voicemail, I want to get to more voicemail. I
got a few more, but right now going to go
(10:38):
into a news item. And this has to do with
star I D. We're all being told that we're going
to have to change our driver's licenses to star ID
and it's gotten a lot of attention on social media lately.
And now there are news reports that people are being scammed,
(10:58):
that that sleeves bags in Alabama are taking advantage of
people that are not bright and scamming them in terms
of these star IDs. I've got the story here for
you and for me from WBrC. They're a stepsister station
of Fox ten. Here's one of the BRC news ladies
(11:20):
explaining that there's some kind of a scam going.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
On or less than three weeks away from the star
ID deadline here in Alabama. After May seventh, you will
be required to show either your star ID or your
passport to board domestic flights. With the deadline approaching fast,
scammers or taking advantage of the last minute rush, Carl
Bates with a Better Business Bureau said, some people in
our area are getting phone calls, texts, or even emails
(11:46):
from people posing as the Department of Motor Vehicles or
Homeland Security saying they can help expedite the process of
getting your star ID.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of course, now I'm posing this just to wonder to myself,
do any of these scammers ever get caught, because this
is a familiar thing where a scammer pretends to be
the government to get your information. Somehow do they ever
catch these people? And if somebody is caught somehow pretending
(12:19):
to be the FBI or pretending to be Department of
Homeland Security, what's the penalty? Does everybody ever sit in
the jail cell for this? I'm just I'm curious. Can
they even catch these people?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
All?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Right?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Backs, they can help expedite the process of getting.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Your store I'm sorry, back to the Store.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Vehicles or Homeland Security saying they can help expedite the
process of getting your store ID. Of course, though that's
not what's.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Going to happen, and they're fishing for your information. They
want your Social Security card, your passport, anything. They can
get your credit card, and that's really the fish in
this deal. You're not going to get a star ID
from them because that's not how it works. I have
to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get it.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Bates says. Unfortunately, scams don't seem to be going anywhere soon.
When May seventh comes and goes, there will be a
new scam thieves are using to steal your money and information.
Baits says, stay vigilant to never give out your personal
information over the phone.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
All right, well, thank you, young lady for that tip
of never giving out personal information over the phone, which
I don't do. Every now and again, my phone will
say I've got an Android phone and it'll say scam
alert or something like that. I'll answer those calls. I will.
I want to know is there a real person? Will
(13:38):
they actually engage me? Somebody was somebody called me today
trying to sell me an extended warranty on a car
that I did. They didn't even have their correct information
on who I was. I just enjoyed the conversation with
the scammer I did. All right, Oh oh, gonna take
a quick time out. There's more to come. We're gonna
listen to traffic and weather words from our sponsors, and
(14:01):
then back with more Uncle Henry Show. That's next here
on news Radio seventy ten WNTM, It says, the Uncle
(14:22):
Henry Show. Here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. News
headlines are coming up in ten minutes before we get
to the news headlines. Voicemail and news items on the
Ulk Henry Show. Voicemail number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. Now you remember, I'm sure we got
(14:47):
the news a few weeks ago that there's going to
be some private developer come in and build a big
water park in Mobile. It's gonna be uh, it's going
to be quite in quite a facility with the indoor
and outdoor fund. There's going to be some kind of amphitheater, shopping,
a hotel proposed, gonna be a bunch of stuff there.
(15:07):
A lot of people excited about the idea with all
of it. Fully, I think if everything is built like
they said it would be built, I think it all
would be there by twenty twenty nine, twenty twenty nine. Now,
not everybody loves the idea of this big water park.
Here is a listener phoning in. I believe with an
(15:28):
objection any of.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
This here, Henda, on this deck of water park they're building.
I am one hundred and ten percent against it.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
One hundred and ten percent, Henry.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
I don't want to see them build any type of
entertainment menu at all, as long as there are potholes
and streets and uh roads needing paving and uh although,
as long as there's people a little septic tanks, Henry.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I mean, the year two thousand and twenty five.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Why are we still having to poohing a tank in
the backyard.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
We should all be hooked up to city sewage. I mean,
my gosh, ain't you romans hat didty sewage?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
This is the I haven't gotten a lot of calls
about city sewage lately. I'm pausing you there, Beauford. I'm pausing.
We'll get back to your your discussion now, Beaufford, this
is an outside developer bringing in sixty million to do this?
How much is how much is Mobile County and Mobile
City going to have to to throw in for this?
Have you heard something? I haven't heard her. Have I
(16:38):
not read enough on this to realize how much it's
going to cost? Is this going to cost the taxpayer?
Is the question that I was trying to pull out
of my head and then say on the air, Is
this going to cost a lot? Beauforre, do you think
the taxpayer in the backyard?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
We should all be hooked up to city sewage. I mean,
my god, ain't you romans hat didty sewage?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Right?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
But Henry, I just wonder how many shots will ring
out at this water park, That's what I'm wondering.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
But no, we do not need to be spending anything as.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Long as we've got infrastructural issues and as far as
we need to have something.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
For the children to do, they can be.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Sitting at home working on their arithmetic and computations anyway, Henry,
just my two cents.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
By the way, you're talking about their arithmetic and computations.
Back when I was a kid, we called it ciphering.
We'd cipher. That's just what we called it ciphering. Maybe
the adults taught me wrong. Of course, when I went
to school, we didn't We didn't have a lot of
money at the school. We didn't have blackboards or anything
(17:50):
like that. We would get we'd get out in this
school yard's with a stick and dirt and we'd cipher
in the dirt. Yeah, but I learned I can balance
a check book. I learned ciphering in the dirt. All
right back to the I think there's a little bit.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
More left there, arithmetic and computations. Anyway, Henry, just my
two cents, you have a good day.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well, Beaufer, we'll see. We don't know. Maybe we do,
and I just haven't paid close enough attention to know.
But how much will it cost the city and or
the county to have this water park that everybody hopes
will be a big tax generator? Well, Beauford, let's let's
(18:39):
meet back here and discuss that this at some point
in the future. How much is it going to cost
us to have this this amenity? So many but Beaufford,
I know you've seen it. A lot of people are
excited about the idea of having this water park in Mobile, Alabama.
Bufford one more thing, Beaufford, you brought up things for
kids to do that the people or looking for things
(19:01):
for kids to do these days. And back to the
back to the topic of dirt. I mean that's when
I was a child and it was summer and I
was not being supervised, then I would play in dirt.
In fact, spent many years in Mobile County living near
(19:22):
a dirt pit. And what, oh my goodness, gracious, what
a magnificent place to be as a young male. You know,
you got everything you need in a dirt pin, you
really do. You got a lot of dirt and that's
pretty much all you need. But uh, there's also there's
everything around the dirt pit. It's not just dirt, by
(19:42):
the way, if you've never enjoyed a dirt pit, there's
there's of course, creatures that live around the dirt pit.
There's always the occasional snake that will come into the
dirt pit, other children in the dirt pit that you
can throw dirt at. It's just wonderful. I did not
need an I didn't need a water park. I had
a dirt pit. Another also, and I'm almost out of
(20:05):
time here, another thing I did when I was out
of school in the summer, in the neighborhood, when I
was tired of playing in the dirt and the dirt pit,
I had a neighbor with a junked out car. I
can remember. We played in that car. We loved it.
We loved being in that junked out car. Sitting in
(20:27):
there behind the wheel, I could pretend I was pretended
I was flying a spaceship like Buck Rogers, or on
a pirate ship. That was a junked out car. What
a wonderful toy that is. Maybe we could turn wrecking
yards into some type of amusement parks. All right, look,
I'm out of time. Thank you for listening to the
Uncle Henry show. As they say in sarah Land, have
(20:50):
a good one, and as they say in Theodore, and
they do still say this in Theodore, as they say
in Theodore, take it easy, all right Later

Speaker 2 (06:47):
I Serriita Bing his young daughter.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Ventured out to Westmobile to see Number one him and
his wife, and he had on the tragger. Oh rib
about that, I'd say it's probably probably run a good
twenty two to twenty four ounces.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
All right, I'm pausing just to applaud this. And I
like you, and you gave some specifications there. You didn't
say as big as a catcher's meant or something like that.
You said twenty two to twenty four ounces. Very appreciedive.
This is good. People need protein. You may read up
on this protein. Very important listener in case you haven't
(07:29):
noticed protein's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Two to twenty four ounces, about an inch and a
half thick. And it was some chump and then a
couple of Philip MiG nines philet mignon, and uh, then
we had some.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Ribbi and filet filet mignon. Now to each his owe,
to each his own. I'm a I'm a big fan
of the ribbi. I know a lot of people love
the filet. In fact, a lot of women love to
order the fileet. I'm not saying that if you're a
man in your order the fillet, that you're feminine. I'm
(08:07):
just making an observation that many women like the filet.
I'm a huge fan of the ribb. I believe it,
it will, it will forever be my favorite cut of beef.
Although I don't know. Maybe that can be a quest
of mine before before my time is done on this planet,
to examine the different cuts of beef. Is there a
(08:27):
different Is there a steak that maybe maybe I like
as much, or almost as much, or maybe even better.
I won't know until I try, so all I gotta
do is wait for the price of beef to come down,
and then I'll get to it.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Cream cake After that, oh.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Wait, what kind of cake did you have after that?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Then? We had some ice cream cake after that.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Ice cream cake, after the ribbi and filet mignon.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Oh yeah, we had a baked potato on the side. Man,
I tell you what, that boy he knows how to
keep his pappy happy. I'll tell you that right now.
M mm hmm ah, roll tide, mister, roll tide roll.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Sixty seven year old Chris, thank you for sharing that
that slice of your life with me and with the
listener voice man number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. And uh, I know some listeners have
called Chris the mooch, describing his trips to the church
(09:33):
potluck lunches as some type of mooching operation. Uh. This
was not mooching in any way, shape or form, as
as far as I can tell. This was Chris's son
honoring his father, honoring his pappy is Chris might put it,
the son knows that the dad likes the the big ribbis,
(09:56):
the big philis, and the sun got the te greer
grill out and honored us his pappy. So, sixty seven
year old Chris, congratulations that you've got great relations with
your kids and that one of them honoring you with
a grilling of meat. That is just what a wonderful,
(10:16):
what a wonderful way to have a relationship with a
father and son is through meat exchange. All right again
voicemail six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. Now, instead of going into
another voicemail, I want to get to more voicemail. I
got a few more, but right now going to go
(10:38):
into a news item. And this has to do with
star I D. We're all being told that we're going
to have to change our driver's licenses to star ID
and it's gotten a lot of attention on social media lately.
And now there are news reports that people are being scammed,
(10:58):
that that sleeves bags in Alabama are taking advantage of
people that are not bright and scamming them in terms
of these star IDs. I've got the story here for
you and for me from WBrC. They're a stepsister station
of Fox ten. Here's one of the BRC news ladies
(11:20):
explaining that there's some kind of a scam going.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
On or less than three weeks away from the star
ID deadline here in Alabama. After May seventh, you will
be required to show either your star ID or your
passport to board domestic flights. With the deadline approaching fast,
scammers or taking advantage of the last minute rush, Carl
Bates with a Better Business Bureau said, some people in
our area are getting phone calls, texts, or even emails
(11:46):
from people posing as the Department of Motor Vehicles or
Homeland Security saying they can help expedite the process of
getting your star ID.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of course, now I'm posing this just to wonder to myself,
do any of these scammers ever get caught, because this
is a familiar thing where a scammer pretends to be
the government to get your information. Somehow do they ever
catch these people? And if somebody is caught somehow pretending
(12:19):
to be the FBI or pretending to be Department of
Homeland Security, what's the penalty? Does everybody ever sit in
the jail cell for this? I'm just I'm curious. Can
they even catch these people?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
All?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Right?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Backs, they can help expedite the process of getting.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Your store I'm sorry, back to the Store.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Vehicles or Homeland Security saying they can help expedite the
process of getting your store ID. Of course, though that's
not what's.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Going to happen, and they're fishing for your information. They
want your Social Security card, your passport, anything. They can
get your credit card, and that's really the fish in
this deal. You're not going to get a star ID
from them because that's not how it works. I have
to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get it.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Bates says. Unfortunately, scams don't seem to be going anywhere soon.
When May seventh comes and goes, there will be a
new scam thieves are using to steal your money and information.
Baits says, stay vigilant to never give out your personal
information over the phone.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
All right, well, thank you, young lady for that tip
of never giving out personal information over the phone, which
I don't do. Every now and again, my phone will
say I've got an Android phone and it'll say scam
alert or something like that. I'll answer those calls. I will.
I want to know is there a real person? Will
(13:38):
they actually engage me? Somebody was somebody called me today
trying to sell me an extended warranty on a car
that I did. They didn't even have their correct information
on who I was. I just enjoyed the conversation with
the scammer I did. All right, Oh oh, gonna take
a quick time out. There's more to come. We're gonna
listen to traffic and weather words from our sponsors, and
(14:01):
then back with more Uncle Henry Show. That's next here
on news Radio seventy ten WNTM, It says, the Uncle
(14:22):
Henry Show. Here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. News
headlines are coming up in ten minutes before we get
to the news headlines. Voicemail and news items on the
Ulk Henry Show. Voicemail number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. Now you remember, I'm sure we got
(14:47):
the news a few weeks ago that there's going to
be some private developer come in and build a big
water park in Mobile. It's gonna be uh, it's going
to be quite in quite a facility with the indoor
and outdoor fund. There's going to be some kind of amphitheater, shopping,
a hotel proposed, gonna be a bunch of stuff there.
(15:07):
A lot of people excited about the idea with all
of it. Fully, I think if everything is built like
they said it would be built, I think it all
would be there by twenty twenty nine, twenty twenty nine. Now,
not everybody loves the idea of this big water park.
Here is a listener phoning in. I believe with an
(15:28):
objection any of.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
This here, Henda, on this deck of water park they're building.
I am one hundred and ten percent against it.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
One hundred and ten percent, Henry.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
I don't want to see them build any type of
entertainment menu at all, as long as there are potholes
and streets and uh roads needing paving and uh although,
as long as there's people a little septic tanks, Henry.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I mean, the year two thousand and twenty five.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Why are we still having to poohing a tank in
the backyard.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
We should all be hooked up to city sewage. I mean,
my gosh, ain't you romans hat didty sewage?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
This is the I haven't gotten a lot of calls
about city sewage lately. I'm pausing you there, Beauford. I'm pausing.
We'll get back to your your discussion now, Beaufford, this
is an outside developer bringing in sixty million to do this?
How much is how much is Mobile County and Mobile
City going to have to to throw in for this?
Have you heard something? I haven't heard her. Have I
(16:38):
not read enough on this to realize how much it's
going to cost? Is this going to cost the taxpayer?
Is the question that I was trying to pull out
of my head and then say on the air, Is
this going to cost a lot? Beauforre, do you think
the taxpayer in the backyard?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
We should all be hooked up to city sewage. I mean,
my god, ain't you romans hat didty sewage?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Right?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
But Henry, I just wonder how many shots will ring
out at this water park, That's what I'm wondering.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
But no, we do not need to be spending anything as.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Long as we've got infrastructural issues and as far as
we need to have something.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
For the children to do, they can be.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Sitting at home working on their arithmetic and computations anyway, Henry,
just my two cents.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
By the way, you're talking about their arithmetic and computations.
Back when I was a kid, we called it ciphering.
We'd cipher. That's just what we called it ciphering. Maybe
the adults taught me wrong. Of course, when I went
to school, we didn't We didn't have a lot of
money at the school. We didn't have blackboards or anything
(17:50):
like that. We would get we'd get out in this
school yard's with a stick and dirt and we'd cipher
in the dirt. Yeah, but I learned I can balance
a check book. I learned ciphering in the dirt. All
right back to the I think there's a little bit.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
More left there, arithmetic and computations. Anyway, Henry, just my
two cents, you have a good day.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well, Beaufer, we'll see. We don't know. Maybe we do,
and I just haven't paid close enough attention to know.
But how much will it cost the city and or
the county to have this water park that everybody hopes
will be a big tax generator? Well, Beauford, let's let's
(18:39):
meet back here and discuss that this at some point
in the future. How much is it going to cost
us to have this this amenity? So many but Beaufford,
I know you've seen it. A lot of people are
excited about the idea of having this water park in Mobile, Alabama.
Bufford one more thing, Beaufford, you brought up things for
kids to do that the people or looking for things
(19:01):
for kids to do these days. And back to the
back to the topic of dirt. I mean that's when
I was a child and it was summer and I
was not being supervised, then I would play in dirt.
In fact, spent many years in Mobile County living near
(19:22):
a dirt pit. And what, oh my goodness, gracious, what
a magnificent place to be as a young male. You know,
you got everything you need in a dirt pin, you
really do. You got a lot of dirt and that's
pretty much all you need. But uh, there's also there's
everything around the dirt pit. It's not just dirt, by
(19:42):
the way, if you've never enjoyed a dirt pit, there's
there's of course, creatures that live around the dirt pit.
There's always the occasional snake that will come into the
dirt pit, other children in the dirt pit that you
can throw dirt at. It's just wonderful. I did not
need an I didn't need a water park. I had
a dirt pit. Another also, and I'm almost out of
(20:05):
time here, another thing I did when I was out
of school in the summer, in the neighborhood, when I
was tired of playing in the dirt and the dirt pit,
I had a neighbor with a junked out car. I
can remember. We played in that car. We loved it.
We loved being in that junked out car. Sitting in
(20:27):
there behind the wheel, I could pretend I was pretended
I was flying a spaceship like Buck Rogers, or on
a pirate ship. That was a junked out car. What
a wonderful toy that is. Maybe we could turn wrecking
yards into some type of amusement parks. All right, look,
I'm out of time. Thank you for listening to the
Uncle Henry show. As they say in sarah Land, have
(20:50):
a good one, and as they say in Theodore, and
they do still say this in Theodore, as they say
in Theodore, take it easy, all right Later
