bel Air area of Mobile. We're in the w k
r G TV five building near the mall.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, that near the near the mall. Yeah, I know,
I know where that is. I figured that's what it
was because I remember you saying that Thatt one point
in time, about five five five Broadcast Drive was where
you was at. I wasn't sure whether that was where
it was still at.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yes, Yeah, I've got a beautiful view. I look at
the window and I can see the target over there
at the mall. It's just gorgeous. Yeah, it's it is,
it's it's you can see Mobile's economy coming along through
the window. Something. This is. I'm excited about the harmonica
knives we'll talk about. We've got all kinds of stuff

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well. I appreciate the in by it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I've never done this before, and I'm I'm kind of
looking forward to it. I'm not usually one with nervousness
or stage right. So I'm kind of you know, I'm
looking forward to it. I'm a little apprehensive, but definitely not,
you know, worried about it. I made a complete fool
out of myself on stages around town for many, many years,
(05:47):
and so do it in on the radio for the
whole entire city. Hopefully it will be a good thing, but.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
It will be. Look, I make a fool out of
myself pretty much every day on this show, so it's
gonna be. It's you're gonna have a great time.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
So man, Holly, they'll they'll hire me and I can
do that too.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
All right, Well good, I could use some help up here.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Man, all right, Steve, thank looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Okay, brother, we'll talk to you then.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Thank you so much. What a wonderful What a wonderful
way to start this show, What a wonderful way to
start the Uncleaner show. Because I'm and I want to
admit to you for full transparency, transparency listener, Tuesdays are
not always an easy show for me to do because
I just watching these city council meetings, it can just
be disgusting. Just what and no offense to all the
(06:43):
wonderful people working at the City of Mobile trying their
very best. But it can still be so disgusting seeing
these politicians running their mouths on city council day and
wasting our money on this, that and the other. But
this now, I know that tomorrow, after the stank of
talking about Mobile City Council meeting, tomorrow, I'll have somebody
(07:05):
in here that can talk about knives. A man that
has not only got a great knife collection, a knife
a knife channel on YouTube where he discusses knives, he
also you heard him say, plays the harmonica. Now, I
love the idea of bringing a harmonica player in on
the Uncle Henry Show. A harmonica can be a divisive instrument.
(07:29):
I don't know if you've noticed this, because when it's good,
it's really really good. It's really good. It can enhance
a song dramatically when it's real good. But when harmonica
is not good, so we're gonna have we have that
to look forward to. We have all of that to
look forward to. We don't know is the harmonica gonna
be good or not. We're gonna find out together tomorrow
(07:50):
on the show, and I hate to admit that, in
full and total transparency, I don't know why I feel
closer to you today than normal. I'm gonna go ahead
and reveal so to you. There was somebody about how
many years ago is this? This is matter about thirty
five years ago. It's been a long time. There was
somebody that I was irritated with, and the way that
(08:15):
I got back at him, I wanted to get back
at him. This was a time when I didn't have
a good relationship with the Lord. And the way that
I got back with them is I gifted their children
at Christmas time. I gifted their children with harmonicas. Yes,
(08:38):
yes I did, because I knew that the children would
be playing the harmonicas for days on end. Yes, I'm
not proud of that. I hope I make up for
it tomorrow. This is the Uncle Henry Show. It's five
(09:10):
twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes. Telephone number

Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. There was a Mobile
City Council meeting today. You can watch it on YouTube
(09:32):
and Lanyap, the local newspaper Lamyacmobile dot com does a
great job of covering the Mobile City Council meeting. One
thing I knew you'd want to hear, and so I'll
start with that from today's Mobile City Council meeting is
Mobile City Councilwoman Mobile City Council Vice President Gina Gregory,
gave an update on the important dredging of the lake
(09:56):
at Langen Park. We've been told now for a couple
of years that the quality of life in Westmobile, especially
the quality of life has not been as great as
it could be because the lake is too shallow. It's
just too shallow for your quality of life. Your quality
of life is rooted by a shallow lake at Langon Park,
(10:17):
and so the city working and spending the money here
and there trying to get this lake dredged. And now
there is an update. And I know you've been waiting
for this, hoping and wishing and praying that your quality
of life would go up by the deepening of the lake.
Here is Jeina Gregory describing where they are now, in
(10:38):
this all important quality of life issue for all of Mobile, I.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Just want to talk a little bit about the dredging
at Langen Park. If you've been by there to take
a look lately, you can see that things are moving
right along. The crew is working.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
By the way, I drove out there last night. Of
loved one was in a tennis tournament playing some tennis
last night, and I did not I did not stop
to look at the dredging progress because I guess I
just I'm not in touch with my own quality of life,
(11:12):
and I apologize for that. Right back to her explanation.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
In the upper Lake, it's that part of the creek
that leads over to Ziggler and they're telling me that
the number one thing they have found so far are
tennis balls, tons of tennis balls. As you might know,
of course, the tennis center is right over there close by.
They've also removed a significant amount of vegetation. They're cleaning
the islands, and water is now free flowing from the
(11:37):
upper Lake. And then somebody had even mentioned online that
it looks again like the murals at the Singer Theater.
So that's really good.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
See, don't you feel your quality of life improving. Just
as she speaks these words.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
We're excited to see this happening. It's going to be
going on for some time. And just remember that traffic
is rerouted over there, so I just remember that when
you start turning and to go to the park, it
is still open, but they have rerouted traffic to make
sure that people are not getting up too close to
where the work is being done and putting themselves in danger.
And also everyone please remember that you know there is
(12:12):
water there, and you know you're in South Alabama, and
where there is water, there are animals and things in
the water like alligators, so alligators. Just you know, be
aware that where there is water, there are going to
be alligators most likely somewhere, so just don't put yourself
at risk. We do have signage at the lake. Some
(12:34):
may have been taken down during some of the work
out there, but we're making sure to get those signs
back up just to make sure that everybody remembers those.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Thank you all right, so there is your update on
your quality of life going up with the dredging of
the lake at Langen Park. As you mentioned alligators, Now,
what do you think will draw more people? What do
you think would draw more people to enjoy Langen Park.
Would it be a dredging of the lake so that
(13:04):
you can get out and paddle on the lake, or
if it were filled with alligators and people could come
look at it. I don't know the answer to that.
I just know that there are other There are some
tourist attractions that are all about looking at alligators. So
I don't know. Maybe a future city council will try
(13:25):
to turn that into some type of Gatorville out there
or something. Let's see. Also at the Mobile City Council meeting,
the Mobile City Council has delayed a vote on whether
or not to stop a business license for a nightclub
on St. Stephen's Road. Now, this was talked about at
(13:47):
the last City council meeting. The name of the bar
the nightclub is Fat Tuesday Sports Bar and it's spelled
pH at nine. I don't know a lot about that,
but I think that if it's spelled pH that that's
better than if it's spelled with an F. I don't
(14:08):
really know, but I think it is. And there are
calls to shut this place down because the police say
they have responded to more than two hundred calls there
during the past three years, that most of these calls
are happening in the middle of the night, after midnight,
(14:29):
that it's taking an enormous amount of city resources to
handle all of this, That people that there's not adequate
parking for the place, and the cars are everywhere around there,
And they did not vote to shut it down last week,
and they've delayed a vote to shut it down this week.
(14:52):
Some of the city council members want more information before
they shut it down. Now, I didn't mention this to
you last week, but about two and a half years ago,
I actually saw this place in action. Now, I did
not go in or even stop there, but was driving
(15:14):
through that area around four o'clock in the morning with
someone and I asked them, Yes, sometimes you know you're
out and about on early morning here there and everywhere.
And I asked somebody, what is going on over there?
Why are there so many cars at four o'clock in
the morning. Because the place, I think the owner told
(15:37):
Landyap that he closes. That he was asked when he
shuts down every night when he closes, and the owner
told land Yap he closes. When they stopped buying chicken wings.
So this place is just imagine living behind it, because
(15:57):
there are residents that live right by. There's a street
that goes right behind this nightclub, and there are people there.
It looks like they're there all the time. If you
were to drive through there in the middle of the night,
chances are there's gonna be a ton of cars out there.
Living behind there would be a nightmare. And I'm trying
(16:22):
to figure out why the council has not either shut
them down or set some type of conditions like, yeah,
you can keep your license if you shut down at
two am or one am or at midnight or whatever
it is. It just for a resident living in that neighborhood,
(16:45):
it would just be it would be a nightmare. But
they did have they had one of the employees showed
up and spoke out on behalf of the place, saying
that the owner really gives back to the community and
sponsors Easter egg hunts and gives money to schools and
(17:07):
gives money to just political campaigns and Pritchard and I
think the employee said even has donated to the campaigns
of city council people, mobile city council people. So we'll
see if they shut it down or not, But that'll
(17:29):
come up again next week. They didn't shut it down
this week, It'll come up again next week on whether
or not they shut down fat Tuesdays. They're on Saint
Stephen's Road. Meanwhile, if you're looking for somewhere to get
wings at three am, Uncle Henry Show here on news

at ihearbdia dot com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
(18:33):
Uh So again, uh I told you about things that
happened at today's Mobile City Council meeting. If you want
more coverage of that, you can go to YouTube and
watch the meeting yourself. It's only an hour long today,
but still if you need it as a sleep aid,
you can listen to it as you're trying to drift
off to sleep and you will definitely fall asleep listening
(18:55):
to today's meeting. There's there's plenty of good sleep moments
in that meeting today. Again that with YouTube, and also
you can read about it at the lanyap's website lamyacmobile
dot com to find out what happened at the Mobile
City council meeting. Oh one, let's see one more thing
from the council meeting. If you've got a traffic ticket
(19:17):
that you need to take care of, the City of
Mobile is going to have a traffic warrant clinic, and
the mayor talked about this today. He says that you
can bring your kids. If you want to bring your
kids and family to resolve your traffic ticket with you,
you can do that. You know that might be educational,
showing your kids how to handle your traffic tickets. Here
(19:40):
this very briefly. Here's the mayor explaining this.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
We will be hosting a traffic warrant clinic November seventh,
will be led by the Legal Department and the municipal courts.
It's the fourth in a series of free clinics that
helped resolve outstanding traffic warrants. It's good for citizens and
this also really helps out local courts for them to
be able to come down and resolve these issues. It's
(20:04):
an unintimidating environment.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Unintimidating.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
We resolved these minor issues without the fear of anyone
that shows up without fear of them being arrested.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Right, so you can go without getting arrested. And that's
a wonder and you I've never had to think about this.
I realize I've got another blessing in my life, the
blessing of not worrying if I'm going to be arrested
because it didn't pay a ticket or something.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
On over number seventh. The clinic is from eleven am
to three pm at the spring Hill Rec Center.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
It's going to be a rec center. So that's fun
and it's in and of itself.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Children and family are welcome to come with anybody that
chooses to be there.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Why children and family, you can bring the family. This
might you know what, this might be an opportunity for you.
On the seventh that you could get grandma maybe shouldn't
get out often, get the grandkids and grandma and pile
up on the onto the truck and head on down
to the Traffic War clinic. As he told us, it's
absolutely free and you will not get arrested alsore.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Registration is required.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Oh you got a register.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
To find out more, go to the cityomobile dot org.
Go to our website. And they'll give you more information
about it.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
All right. Isn't that wonderful? Isn't it nice? Mobile is
just so many amenities. They're dredging the lake at Langham Park,
so that'll improve your quality of life. If you have
an outstanding ticket, you can go without fear of being
arrested with your children and grandma and take care of
everything in an unintimidating atmosphere. Isn't this wonderful? Just Mobile
(21:41):
is on the way. You know, a lot of people
talk about the new arena being built and all those
other projects, the new airport, but it's it's equally exciting
to have our lakes dredged and traffic ticket clinics where
you don't get arrested. It's just a we're really living
in a golden age here in Mobile, Alabama again. Two
five one four seven nine two seven two three. The
(22:03):
telephone number that's two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
Now let's say there's something else. Let's say I've got
a voicemail about international politics. Yeah, here's a voice. There's
some a voicemail about a little international politics here on
(22:24):
the uncle, Henry show.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
And this here's beautiful, Henry. Everybody's talking about this hair
pace cord in the Middle East. I can tell you this, Henry.
They will never ever be peace in the Middle East
or anywhere for that matter, simply because of something that
(22:47):
Eisenhower warned everybody of, and that was the Military Industrial confexts. Henry.
Let me tell you this. We got family that's real smart,
lot smarter than I am. Really, I tell you, I
guess it might have happened in your family or everybody,
(23:08):
how the brains all settled on one side and not
the other. Well, that happened to my family, Henry, I
got No.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I'm trying to think of my family. I think we're
all about the same. Yeah, we've yeah, we have a
I think we've got a ceiling on intellect. But we
were still we're good people. We don't have to go
to the traffic clinic.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Some very very very intelligent relatives, uncles and cousins and such.
But uh, I was smarter in other ways outside of
uh school learning. I reckon. But anyway, I didn't call
about that. But Henry, they got I got a couple.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Of relatives that work in the defense industry really like
Raythion and companies like that they build rockets for the
military's Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Let me tell you this, Henry, they love love them
fighting in the Middle East. The Middle East. Henry is
the goose that lays the golden egg for the US government. Henry.
There are billions of dollars tied to just one rocket system. Henry.
(24:25):
One rocket system makes billions of dollars for a bunch
of people. I can guarantee you this, Henry. The thing
they fear the most is peace in the Middle East,
because uh, I mean, it's far away enough and then
people are foreign enough to where nobody in the rest
(24:46):
of root road does care if one rocket takes out
a hold bag on village in Palestine or Palestine or
whatever they call it nowadays, or the guy's strip. But
have you ever known, it is, Henry, that our wars
always stay small. I mean, they never get so big
to where they have to draft high school graduates a
(25:11):
graduation time and really upset the American people. But these
wars and.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Conflicts are always just big enough to where they kill
enough people to where these ag defense industry times can
make boatloads of money.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Anyway, Henry just the thought you have.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
A good day for Thank you for that. I'd like
to hear more about your smart relatives in the defense industry.
I realized that war is big, big money, some of
the biggest money on the planet. So I realize what
you're saying is true about many people not rooting for
(25:54):
peace simply because there's money to be made in war.
Now there's another thing that may play into this you're
talking about how there won't be peace. There are people
that are raised from birth to hate other people. You
(26:20):
may have noticed this, you may have read about it
or even seen examples of it, But there are some
people that are raised from birth to hate other people.
In fact, the people that they're raised to hate, in turn,
may raise their kids to be on guard and even
hate back. So if you've been raised in that, that
(26:43):
is hard to turn off. That is that is hard
to deal with in that situation. And you'll notice that
often in these Mid East conflicts, things do get stop
short of anyone being declared an outright winner of a conflict.
(27:05):
So there's a lot of play there, Beauford. But Beeford,
I appreciate hearing about your smart relatives working for a
defense contractors. If you have any other stories about that,
I'd like to hear them. Voicemail numbers two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two five one
two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave a message
for the Uncle Henry Show and it's listeners. But yeah, Beaufford,
(27:29):
I do it. I agree. There's big, big money in war,
and that is something that people can't forget when they're
when they're trying to figure out why a conflict might
be going on, why it wouldn't stop. And we're not
just the Middle East. All right, The Uncle Henry Show continues,
(27:51):

and words from our sponsors, and then more Uncle Henry's

r G TV five building near the mall.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, that near the near the mall. Yeah, I know,
I know where that is. I figured that's what it
was because I remember you saying that Thatt one point
in time, about five five five Broadcast Drive was where
you was at. I wasn't sure whether that was where
it was still at.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yes, Yeah, I've got a beautiful view. I look at
the window and I can see the target over there

Speaker 4 (05:18):
I am so excited. Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well. I appreciate the in by it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I've never done this before, and I'm I'm kind of
looking forward to it. I'm not usually one with nervousness
or stage right. So I'm kind of you know, I'm
looking forward to it. I'm a little apprehensive, but definitely not,
you know, worried about it. I made a complete fool
out of myself on stages around town for many, many years,
(05:47):
and so do it in on the radio for the
whole entire city. Hopefully it will be a good thing, but.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
It will be. Look, I make a fool out of
myself pretty much every day on this show, so it's
gonna be. It's you're gonna have a great time.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
So man, Holly, they'll they'll hire me and I can
do that too.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
All right, Well good, I could use some help up here.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Hey man anytime rather and uh yeah, we'll see you.
We'll see you tomorrow before the show and we'll do it.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Man, all right, Steve, thank looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Okay, brother, we'll talk to you then.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Thank you so much. What a wonderful What a wonderful
way to start this show, What a wonderful way to
start the Uncleaner show. Because I'm and I want to
admit to you for full transparency, transparency listener, Tuesdays are
not always an easy show for me to do because
I just watching these city council meetings, it can just
be disgusting. Just what and no offense to all the
(06:43):
wonderful people working at the City of Mobile trying their
very best. But it can still be so disgusting seeing
these politicians running their mouths on city council day and
wasting our money on this, that and the other. But
this now, I know that tomorrow, after the stank of
talking about Mobile City Council meeting, tomorrow, I'll have somebody
(07:05):
in here that can talk about knives. A man that
has not only got a great knife collection, a knife
a knife channel on YouTube where he discusses knives, he
also you heard him say, plays the harmonica. Now, I
love the idea of bringing a harmonica player in on
the Uncle Henry Show. A harmonica can be a divisive instrument.
(07:29):
I don't know if you've noticed this, because when it's good,
it's really really good. It's really good. It can enhance
a song dramatically when it's real good. But when harmonica
is not good, so we're gonna have we have that
to look forward to. We have all of that to
look forward to. We don't know is the harmonica gonna
be good or not. We're gonna find out together tomorrow
(07:50):
on the show, and I hate to admit that, in
full and total transparency, I don't know why I feel
closer to you today than normal. I'm gonna go ahead
and reveal so to you. There was somebody about how
many years ago is this? This is matter about thirty
five years ago. It's been a long time. There was
somebody that I was irritated with, and the way that
(08:15):
I got back at him, I wanted to get back
at him. This was a time when I didn't have
a good relationship with the Lord. And the way that
I got back with them is I gifted their children
at Christmas time. I gifted their children with harmonicas. Yes,
(08:38):
yes I did, because I knew that the children would
be playing the harmonicas for days on end. Yes, I'm
not proud of that. I hope I make up for
it tomorrow. This is the Uncle Henry Show. It's five

Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. There was a Mobile
City Council meeting today. You can watch it on YouTube
(09:32):
and Lanyap, the local newspaper Lamyacmobile dot com does a
great job of covering the Mobile City Council meeting. One
thing I knew you'd want to hear, and so I'll
start with that from today's Mobile City Council meeting is
Mobile City Councilwoman Mobile City Council Vice President Gina Gregory,
gave an update on the important dredging of the lake
(09:56):
at Langen Park. We've been told now for a couple
of years that the quality of life in Westmobile, especially
the quality of life has not been as great as
it could be because the lake is too shallow. It's
just too shallow for your quality of life. Your quality
of life is rooted by a shallow lake at Langon Park,
(10:17):
and so the city working and spending the money here
and there trying to get this lake dredged. And now
there is an update. And I know you've been waiting
for this, hoping and wishing and praying that your quality
of life would go up by the deepening of the lake.
Here is Jeina Gregory describing where they are now, in
(10:38):
this all important quality of life issue for all of Mobile, I.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Just want to talk a little bit about the dredging
at Langen Park. If you've been by there to take
a look lately, you can see that things are moving
right along. The crew is working.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
By the way, I drove out there last night. Of
loved one was in a tennis tournament playing some tennis
last night, and I did not I did not stop
to look at the dredging progress because I guess I
just I'm not in touch with my own quality of life,
(11:12):
and I apologize for that. Right back to her explanation.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
In the upper Lake, it's that part of the creek
that leads over to Ziggler and they're telling me that
the number one thing they have found so far are
tennis balls, tons of tennis balls. As you might know,
of course, the tennis center is right over there close by.
They've also removed a significant amount of vegetation. They're cleaning
the islands, and water is now free flowing from the
(11:37):
upper Lake. And then somebody had even mentioned online that
it looks again like the murals at the Singer Theater.
So that's really good.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
See, don't you feel your quality of life improving. Just
as she speaks these words.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
We're excited to see this happening. It's going to be
going on for some time. And just remember that traffic
is rerouted over there, so I just remember that when
you start turning and to go to the park, it
is still open, but they have rerouted traffic to make
sure that people are not getting up too close to
where the work is being done and putting themselves in danger.
And also everyone please remember that you know there is
(12:12):
water there, and you know you're in South Alabama, and
where there is water, there are animals and things in
the water like alligators, so alligators. Just you know, be
aware that where there is water, there are going to
be alligators most likely somewhere, so just don't put yourself
at risk. We do have signage at the lake. Some
(12:34):
may have been taken down during some of the work
out there, but we're making sure to get those signs
back up just to make sure that everybody remembers those.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Thank you all right, so there is your update on
your quality of life going up with the dredging of
the lake at Langen Park. As you mentioned alligators, Now,
what do you think will draw more people? What do
you think would draw more people to enjoy Langen Park.
Would it be a dredging of the lake so that
(13:04):
you can get out and paddle on the lake, or
if it were filled with alligators and people could come
look at it. I don't know the answer to that.
I just know that there are other There are some
tourist attractions that are all about looking at alligators. So
I don't know. Maybe a future city council will try
(13:25):
to turn that into some type of Gatorville out there
or something. Let's see. Also at the Mobile City Council meeting,
the Mobile City Council has delayed a vote on whether
or not to stop a business license for a nightclub
on St. Stephen's Road. Now, this was talked about at
(13:47):
the last City council meeting. The name of the bar
the nightclub is Fat Tuesday Sports Bar and it's spelled
pH at nine. I don't know a lot about that,
but I think that if it's spelled pH that that's
better than if it's spelled with an F. I don't
(14:08):
really know, but I think it is. And there are
calls to shut this place down because the police say
they have responded to more than two hundred calls there
during the past three years, that most of these calls
are happening in the middle of the night, after midnight,
(14:29):
that it's taking an enormous amount of city resources to
handle all of this, That people that there's not adequate
parking for the place, and the cars are everywhere around there,
And they did not vote to shut it down last week,
and they've delayed a vote to shut it down this week.
(14:52):
Some of the city council members want more information before
they shut it down. Now, I didn't mention this to
you last week, but about two and a half years ago,
I actually saw this place in action. Now, I did
not go in or even stop there, but was driving
(15:14):
through that area around four o'clock in the morning with
someone and I asked them, Yes, sometimes you know you're
out and about on early morning here there and everywhere.
And I asked somebody, what is going on over there?
Why are there so many cars at four o'clock in
the morning. Because the place, I think the owner told
(15:37):
Landyap that he closes. That he was asked when he
shuts down every night when he closes, and the owner
told land Yap he closes. When they stopped buying chicken wings.
So this place is just imagine living behind it, because
(15:57):
there are residents that live right by. There's a street
that goes right behind this nightclub, and there are people there.
It looks like they're there all the time. If you
were to drive through there in the middle of the night,
chances are there's gonna be a ton of cars out there.
Living behind there would be a nightmare. And I'm trying
(16:22):
to figure out why the council has not either shut
them down or set some type of conditions like, yeah,
you can keep your license if you shut down at
two am or one am or at midnight or whatever
it is. It just for a resident living in that neighborhood,
(16:45):
it would just be it would be a nightmare. But
they did have they had one of the employees showed
up and spoke out on behalf of the place, saying
that the owner really gives back to the community and
sponsors Easter egg hunts and gives money to schools and
(17:07):
gives money to just political campaigns and Pritchard and I
think the employee said even has donated to the campaigns
of city council people, mobile city council people. So we'll
see if they shut it down or not, But that'll
(17:29):
come up again next week. They didn't shut it down
this week, It'll come up again next week on whether
or not they shut down fat Tuesdays. They're on Saint
Stephen's Road. Meanwhile, if you're looking for somewhere to get
wings at three am, Uncle Henry Show here on news

(18:33):
Uh So again, uh I told you about things that
happened at today's Mobile City Council meeting. If you want
more coverage of that, you can go to YouTube and
watch the meeting yourself. It's only an hour long today,
but still if you need it as a sleep aid,
you can listen to it as you're trying to drift
off to sleep and you will definitely fall asleep listening
(18:55):
to today's meeting. There's there's plenty of good sleep moments
in that meeting today. Again that with YouTube, and also
you can read about it at the lanyap's website lamyacmobile
dot com to find out what happened at the Mobile
City council meeting. Oh one, let's see one more thing
from the council meeting. If you've got a traffic ticket
(19:17):
that you need to take care of, the City of
Mobile is going to have a traffic warrant clinic, and
the mayor talked about this today. He says that you
can bring your kids. If you want to bring your
kids and family to resolve your traffic ticket with you,
you can do that. You know that might be educational,
showing your kids how to handle your traffic tickets. Here
(19:40):
this very briefly. Here's the mayor explaining this.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
We will be hosting a traffic warrant clinic November seventh,
will be led by the Legal Department and the municipal courts.
It's the fourth in a series of free clinics that
helped resolve outstanding traffic warrants. It's good for citizens and
this also really helps out local courts for them to
be able to come down and resolve these issues. It's
(20:04):
an unintimidating environment.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Unintimidating.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
We resolved these minor issues without the fear of anyone
that shows up without fear of them being arrested.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Right, so you can go without getting arrested. And that's
a wonder and you I've never had to think about this.
I realize I've got another blessing in my life, the
blessing of not worrying if I'm going to be arrested
because it didn't pay a ticket or something.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
On over number seventh. The clinic is from eleven am
to three pm at the spring Hill Rec Center.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
It's going to be a rec center. So that's fun
and it's in and of itself.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Children and family are welcome to come with anybody that
chooses to be there.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Why children and family, you can bring the family. This
might you know what, this might be an opportunity for you.
On the seventh that you could get grandma maybe shouldn't
get out often, get the grandkids and grandma and pile
up on the onto the truck and head on down
to the Traffic War clinic. As he told us, it's
absolutely free and you will not get arrested alsore.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Registration is required.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Oh you got a register.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
To find out more, go to the cityomobile dot org.
Go to our website. And they'll give you more information
about it.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
All right. Isn't that wonderful? Isn't it nice? Mobile is
just so many amenities. They're dredging the lake at Langham Park,
so that'll improve your quality of life. If you have
an outstanding ticket, you can go without fear of being
arrested with your children and grandma and take care of
everything in an unintimidating atmosphere. Isn't this wonderful? Just Mobile
(21:41):
is on the way. You know, a lot of people
talk about the new arena being built and all those
other projects, the new airport, but it's it's equally exciting
to have our lakes dredged and traffic ticket clinics where
you don't get arrested. It's just a we're really living
in a golden age here in Mobile, Alabama again. Two
five one four seven nine two seven two three. The
(22:03):
telephone number that's two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
Now let's say there's something else. Let's say I've got
a voicemail about international politics. Yeah, here's a voice. There's
some a voicemail about a little international politics here on
(22:24):
the uncle, Henry show.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
And this here's beautiful, Henry. Everybody's talking about this hair
pace cord in the Middle East. I can tell you this, Henry.
They will never ever be peace in the Middle East
or anywhere for that matter, simply because of something that
(22:47):
Eisenhower warned everybody of, and that was the Military Industrial confexts. Henry.
Let me tell you this. We got family that's real smart,
lot smarter than I am. Really, I tell you, I
guess it might have happened in your family or everybody,
(23:08):
how the brains all settled on one side and not
the other. Well, that happened to my family, Henry, I
got No.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I'm trying to think of my family. I think we're
all about the same. Yeah, we've yeah, we have a
I think we've got a ceiling on intellect. But we
were still we're good people. We don't have to go
to the traffic clinic.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Some very very very intelligent relatives, uncles and cousins and such.
But uh, I was smarter in other ways outside of
uh school learning. I reckon. But anyway, I didn't call
about that. But Henry, they got I got a couple.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Of relatives that work in the defense industry really like
Raythion and companies like that they build rockets for the
military's Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Let me tell you this, Henry, they love love them
fighting in the Middle East. The Middle East. Henry is
the goose that lays the golden egg for the US government. Henry.
There are billions of dollars tied to just one rocket system. Henry.
(24:25):
One rocket system makes billions of dollars for a bunch
of people. I can guarantee you this, Henry. The thing
they fear the most is peace in the Middle East,
because uh, I mean, it's far away enough and then
people are foreign enough to where nobody in the rest
(24:46):
of root road does care if one rocket takes out
a hold bag on village in Palestine or Palestine or
whatever they call it nowadays, or the guy's strip. But
have you ever known, it is, Henry, that our wars
always stay small. I mean, they never get so big
to where they have to draft high school graduates a
(25:11):
graduation time and really upset the American people. But these
wars and.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Conflicts are always just big enough to where they kill
enough people to where these ag defense industry times can
make boatloads of money.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Anyway, Henry just the thought you have.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
A good day for Thank you for that. I'd like
to hear more about your smart relatives in the defense industry.
I realized that war is big, big money, some of
the biggest money on the planet. So I realize what
you're saying is true about many people not rooting for
(25:54):
peace simply because there's money to be made in war.
Now there's another thing that may play into this you're
talking about how there won't be peace. There are people
that are raised from birth to hate other people. You
(26:20):
may have noticed this, you may have read about it
or even seen examples of it, But there are some
people that are raised from birth to hate other people.
In fact, the people that they're raised to hate, in turn,
may raise their kids to be on guard and even
hate back. So if you've been raised in that, that
(26:43):
is hard to turn off. That is that is hard
to deal with in that situation. And you'll notice that
often in these Mid East conflicts, things do get stop
short of anyone being declared an outright winner of a conflict.
(27:05):
So there's a lot of play there, Beauford. But Beeford,
I appreciate hearing about your smart relatives working for a
defense contractors. If you have any other stories about that,
I'd like to hear them. Voicemail numbers two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two five one
two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave a message
for the Uncle Henry Show and it's listeners. But yeah, Beaufford,
(27:29):
I do it. I agree. There's big, big money in war,
and that is something that people can't forget when they're
when they're trying to figure out why a conflict might
be going on, why it wouldn't stop. And we're not
just the Middle East. All right, The Uncle Henry Show continues,
(27:51):
going to have a quick time out for traffic, weather,
and words from our sponsors, and then more Uncle Henry's

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
