All right, sixty eight year old Chris of wes Locksley.
Thank you for also sharing that you share a birthday
with not just the awful Jack Nicholson and the completely
without benefit Peter Frampton, you also share a birthday with
the outstanding Glenn Campbell, who sadly not appreciated the way
(02:39):
he should be by modern audiences. I don't know what
it's going to take. I don't know how we can
get some type of Glen Glenn Campbell revival going, but
I believe that we are overdue for a Glenn Campbell
revival in this country due to the talents of Glenn Campbell. Now,
because it's sixty eight year old Chris's birthday and his birthday,
(03:01):
if you missed this call, he placed a voicemail to
the show a few months ago that might be one
of the wildest voicemails I've ever received. I want to
play it for you. This is only a few months
ago that he phoned this in. It was a story
sixty seven year old Chris telling a story about a raccoon, well.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Tied un another beautyless day here on the front ports
in West Locksley, right after lunch time, listening to Clay
and Buck. I've been listening to the Uncle Henry Show
the past few days, and I've heard a few stories
of regarding raccoons, and I didn't didn't jog my memory
(03:43):
until last night when I was listening and about the
one that led was a telling about and it brought
to mine a raccoon memory I have. This would have
been back in the mid seventies when I was a teenager.
I never do well at times fifty, et cetera. First
(04:05):
president ever voted for voted for Jimmy Carter. So it
gives you a kind of idea where my brain was
at at the time, if that's what you want to
call it. But I had this buddy mine. He had
a raccoon, of course, we named him Rocky after Rocky Raccoon,
that song.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
By the Beatles, Rocky Raccoon.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And we was making and ill used slang from the
seventies to cover it. We was making a reefer run
one night up there in Birmingham to all Over on
the south end of town. Was going to pick up
the lid, and me and.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
My buddy going to pick up a lid.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
And I think there was at least one or two
others in the car with us, and we had Rocky with.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Us, all right, So that going to buy marijuana with
a raccoon in.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
The car, unbeknownst to him, as with a driving back
from having copped the reefer pat the guy that was
a pas my buddy was driving, was in his car,
and the guy that was in the passenger seat, my
buddy told him said, you know, hide that in case
we get pulled over or something. So he stuck that
(05:11):
lid underneath the seat. Didn't think about it. We got
about half way back in house, about thirty minutes down
the road, we got to notice in that raccoon wasn't
Where was he at? We couldn't find him, So we
pulled over on side road directly and he was underneath
the passenger's side seat. Just a chowing down on that.
Mary Jane eat about half that list taves to say
(05:40):
that was one high coon. Still cracks me up. Oh
and this same buddy of mine, I'll have to call
you back and tell you about this one later. A
goat story and there's reaper involvement.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Sixty eight year old Chris of West Loxley, Thank you
for all of the entertaining voicemails through the years. I
don't know that you could ever beat the raccoon going
and getting a lid with a raccoon stealing your your stuff.
There's more Uncle Henry's show after the break here on
(06:25):
news radio seven ten WNTM. It says the Uncle Henry
Show here on news radio seven ten WNTIM. Thank you
so much for listening to the Uncle hevery show. Now
(06:47):
in this half hour of show, we're starting out with
Ryan Pablo Fostering. He is here from the Mobile Singer
Theater and all the associated venues that are connected up
in that Ryan Pop Love Foster are thanks starting to
get busy again at the Sanger Theater.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Absolutely, Uncle got a lot of things going on.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Hey, before we talk about things coming up I'm curious
about this weird thing you did recently where you had
the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah, that was shown at the
Sanger and then you had the actor that played Napoleon there.
What was that like having that show.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
That actually was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Tell me what happened.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
So they showed the movie and then the cast comes
out and they do Q and A with the audience
and tell stories about the making of the film. But
these guys really went above and beyond. John Heater who
plays Napoleon Dynamite, African Ramirez who plays Pedro, and Uncle Rico.
John Grice, who people might know from The White Lotus
(07:47):
most recently on it never watched it and did him
little musical number that they had built into like a
cassio keyboard and John Grice playing guitar, and it sounded
pretty good. Kind of sang the audience a little song,
and then did contests where they had hidden things throughout
the theater and like if you looked under your seat
(08:08):
you might find a prize, and did trivia games and
talked to the audience and told stories and took questions.
It was really a lot of fun. A lot of
people showed up in costumes. So it was very much
a bit of a comic con kind of vibe.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So now that went on a while after the movie.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Did they taught an hour and a half after the movie? So,
I mean, all told, it was you know, a nice
three three and a half hours worth of entertainment.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Did the guy that plays Napoleon Dynamite did he did?
He talk like Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
A few times? He give us a few.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Gosh, now the crowd like this.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Of course they did, and they just couldn't have been
nicer guys. You know, they met a lot of the
fans and you know, took photos with them and just
really nice folks. You can tell they really enjoyed making
that movie and sharing it with the world.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Say, they'll be able to make money for the rest
of their lives. All they had to do was make
one movie and now they get to who are with it?
And that's all they gotta do.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Just as you said, like Comic Con, where these people
that were on Star Trek like one episode or turn
the country?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yes, why have we not done this? Sonk? Well, Well
me you Johnny Gwen don't know how to do it? Look,
we'll make it. We'll get together, we'll make a little
movie and hopefully get a cult following, and then we
can do comic cons, tour it around and it'll be great.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Let me know, let me know, let me know when
that can happen. Now, Sanger, Now that was the past.
We don't want to live in the past. We want
to we want to live in the present.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
We're want to charge forward.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
We want to live in the present and look forward
to the future. So looking forward to the future, what
do you have coming up at the Sanger Theater.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh, well, we've got Black Jacket Symphony coming up May second,
doing the tribute to Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Now, this is the people that pretend to be They're
gonna come out and pretend to be Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yes, for the most part. Yes, it's gonna be a
great show. They'll do Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,
Jimmy's classic album. Then they'll come back do Jimmy's greatest hits.
Always a great night, a great concert with the Black
Check and Symphony, regardless of which artists they're paying tribute to.

I've noticed this, Yes, but they're fun weirdos, and not

just can't wait to have you in here again to
tell us about more of these Come on, Uncle weird
things all right? Uh, taking a time out for traffic,
weather and words from our sponsors, Then right back with
more Uncle Henry's show on WNTM in costume. It says
(15:40):
the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio seventy ten
WNTM news headlines coming up in about ten minutes. I
want to check some voicemail. Voicemail number two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six, now, I believe. On
(16:01):
Monday's program, I talked about scammers in Alabama that were
taking advantage of people scaring them about this star Id program,
calling people and getting their personal information, trying to help
them get their star ID. I asked a question if
(16:22):
scammers ever get caught, because I don't know that I've
ever heard of scammers getting caught, the ones that call
people and trick them and get their information like that.
Now Buford has decided to phone in about the scammers.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Listen to your radio program on the am radio.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
God bless you for that love the am.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Radio mentioned uh steeve ever catch these scammers? No, Henry.
I have told these scammers when they've called me that
I'd give them whatever they want as long as they
would meet me personally to get it, so I could
give whoever it is a good thrashing. I hate stammers.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Henry, you know, I'm going to look up thrashing. I
think I know what it means, but you want to
give them a good thrashing. I'm going to look it
up to see exactly what a thrashing would entail if
someone were to thrash me, or if I decided to
give someone else a good thrashing. I don't know that
I'm physically able to thrasher.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
The reason nobody ever catches these scammers is they're almost
all of them are overseas, outside of the federal government
and local law enforcement jurisdiction. A lot of these scammers
are based in the Ukraine. All you dag them fleeting
harts putting your Ukrainian flags on your house is just
keep in mind that Ukraine was a hotbed for these scammers.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
By the way, I looked up thrashing and the let's
see the ox. I don't even know what the source
of this definition is. But one of the definitions is
an act of physically beating. So it's about I didn't
know a thrashing was a beating. I thought it might
involve an implement be like a whipping, but no, it's
(18:11):
a beating, all right, anyway, just in case you need
to thrash somebody or use the word all right, back
to the analysis of the scammers bags on.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Your house is just keep in mind that Ukraine was
a hotbed for these scammers, Russia as well, and different
countries in Africa. But Henry, I do I would love
to see President krumpfire a cruise missile to these scammers.
They're in giant call centers in these foreign countries. Just
(18:40):
start blowing up call centers, Henry, and foreign countries that
house these scammers. A good missile up there, dag on
my air duck would do a world a lot of
good and it would cut down on them as well.
But Henry, they're all based overseas, most of them. Anyway, Henry,
you have a good day.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yes, I had, now that you've mentioned this, I remember
reading years ago, and when I say years, maybe like
five or six years ago, reading about people in Ukraine,
people in Russia, that yes, we could identify that the
scammers were there, but there was little that could be
done about them. So Youford, thank you for jogging my
(19:23):
memory and also causing me to have some intellectual curiosity
about the act of thrashing. Someone now before I'm at
a time. The Mayor of Mobile had a special Mayor's
Breakfast today with the Downtown Mobile Alliance, and I'm personally
curious as to what he told them. So let's listen
(19:45):
together as Fox ten covers the Mayor's Breakfast this morning
and what he told those Downtown Mobile people.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Andy Stimpson made his final address to the Downtown Mobile
Alliance this morning during his annual Prayer Breakfast with the
n event. Fox ten News reporter Stephen Moody has more
on his message.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Mayor City Stinson speaking to this crowd for the final
time before he retires at the end of the year.
Every year, the Mayor's Breakfast brings everyone together to discuss
updates on the city's plan for downtown and its continued growth.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
And the Downtown Alliance has been a good partner. They've
had a plan for Downtown collaboratively, we've worked that plan.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
We see a lot of results with the end of
the day.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
What you want to do, you want to create an
environment where you have a thriving downtown.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Guests included local business, civic and elected leaders. Mayor Stinson
spoke about future projects of what he hopes for the
future of the Port city.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
The foundation has been laid, I think is very solid.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
But when you think about what's going to happen on
the footprint where the auditorium was and where the arena's
going to be at the Corvina, that's a billion dollars
of investment, and you think of the future of that,
with the river Walk plaza, the new hotel, what we're
doing to activate the waterfront and.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
A right and so forth.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
It's just the future modes really really well for downtown
Mobile and for.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
The new mayors since in which is them success with
the future.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
My new mayor has a lot to look forward to,
and I hope that all.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
These organizations will embrace them and help hammer her and
continue to move downtown forward, because without a great downtown,
you'll not have a great city.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Steven Moody Fox the News, All right, very good. I
just look, listener, I just want to know, and yes,
the next mayor, whoever it is, has a lot to
look forward to with all those projects going on. At
the same time, they have a lot of progress. I'm
sure there'll be a lot of happiness and excitement. And
at the same time, as I've learned through the years,
(21:42):
at the same time as happiness and progress, there will
be lots and lots of bitter complaints, because that's the
nature of human beings. Human beings are like that, and
with change you'll get a lot of complaints as well.
So I hope the new mayor, whoever it is, is
thick skin or maybe even hard of hearing. All right,
(22:02):
out of time for this edition of the Uncle Ambree Show.
I thank you for listening to it or parts of it.
As they say in sarah Land, have a good one,
and as they say in Theodore, take it easy

and the guy that was in the passenger seat, my
buddy told him said, you know, hide that in case
we get pulled over or something. So he stuck that
(05:11):
lid underneath the seat. Didn't think about it. We got
about half way back in house, about thirty minutes down
the road, we got to notice in that raccoon wasn't
Where was he at? We couldn't find him, So we
pulled over on side road directly and he was underneath
the passenger's side seat. Just a chowing down on that.
Mary Jane eat about half that list taves to say
(05:40):
that was one high coon. Still cracks me up. Oh
and this same buddy of mine, I'll have to call
you back and tell you about this one later. A
goat story and there's reaper involvement.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Sixty eight year old Chris of West Loxley, Thank you
for all of the entertaining voicemails through the years. I
don't know that you could ever beat the raccoon going
and getting a lid with a raccoon stealing your your stuff.
There's more Uncle Henry's show after the break here on
(06:25):
news radio seven ten WNTM. It says the Uncle Henry
Show here on news radio seven ten WNTIM. Thank you
so much for listening to the Uncle hevery show. Now
(06:47):
in this half hour of show, we're starting out with
Ryan Pablo Fostering. He is here from the Mobile Singer
Theater and all the associated venues that are connected up
in that Ryan Pop Love Foster are thanks starting to
get busy again at the Sanger Theater.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Absolutely, Uncle got a lot of things going on.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Hey, before we talk about things coming up I'm curious
about this weird thing you did recently where you had
the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah, that was shown at the
Sanger and then you had the actor that played Napoleon there.
What was that like having that show.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
That actually was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Tell me what happened.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
So they showed the movie and then the cast comes
out and they do Q and A with the audience
and tell stories about the making of the film. But
these guys really went above and beyond. John Heater who
plays Napoleon Dynamite, African Ramirez who plays Pedro, and Uncle Rico.
John Grice, who people might know from The White Lotus
(07:47):
most recently on it never watched it and did him
little musical number that they had built into like a
cassio keyboard and John Grice playing guitar, and it sounded
pretty good. Kind of sang the audience a little song,
and then did contests where they had hidden things throughout
the theater and like if you looked under your seat
(08:08):
you might find a prize, and did trivia games and
talked to the audience and told stories and took questions.
It was really a lot of fun. A lot of
people showed up in costumes. So it was very much
a bit of a comic con kind of vibe.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So now that went on a while after the movie.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Did they taught an hour and a half after the movie? So,
I mean, all told, it was you know, a nice
three three and a half hours worth of entertainment.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Did the guy that plays Napoleon Dynamite did he did?
He talk like Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
A few times? He give us a few.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Gosh, now the crowd like this.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Of course they did, and they just couldn't have been
nicer guys. You know, they met a lot of the
fans and you know, took photos with them and just
really nice folks. You can tell they really enjoyed making
that movie and sharing it with the world.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Say, they'll be able to make money for the rest
of their lives. All they had to do was make
one movie and now they get to who are with it?
And that's all they gotta do.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Just as you said, like Comic Con, where these people
that were on Star Trek like one episode or turn
the country?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yes, why have we not done this? Sonk? Well, Well
me you Johnny Gwen don't know how to do it? Look,
we'll make it. We'll get together, we'll make a little
movie and hopefully get a cult following, and then we
can do comic cons, tour it around and it'll be great.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Let me know, let me know, let me know when
that can happen. Now, Sanger, Now that was the past.
We don't want to live in the past. We want
to we want to live in the present.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
We're want to charge forward.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
We want to live in the present and look forward
to the future. So looking forward to the future, what
do you have coming up at the Sanger Theater.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh, well, we've got Black Jacket Symphony coming up May second,
doing the tribute to Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Now, this is the people that pretend to be They're
gonna come out and pretend to be Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yes, for the most part. Yes, it's gonna be a
great show. They'll do Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,
Jimmy's classic album. Then they'll come back do Jimmy's greatest hits.
Always a great night, a great concert with the Black
Check and Symphony, regardless of which artists they're paying tribute to.

subculture of weirdos.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That will love this.
Speaker 1 (10:53):

This might sell out because of the nature of the weirdness.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
If the Gulf Coast has anything. We have some weirdos.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I've noticed this, Yes, but they're fun weirdos, and not
all of them, not when they're we hey, not when
they're waiting on your front steps when you when you
were leaving for work in the morning. That is not
the kind of weirdo you want.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Really does that sounds like a personal That's that's a
story I haven't told on the ole, you know, I
want to hear that anyway. We also have other shows
coming that are less weirdo oriented. Okay, like Peebo Bryson.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
All right, Ryan Pablo Foster with a mobile Sanger Theater.
Can't wait to see you again in costume. No, just here,
just can't wait to have you in here again to
tell us about more of these Come on, Uncle weird
things all right? Uh, taking a time out for traffic,
weather and words from our sponsors, Then right back with
more Uncle Henry's show on WNTM in costume. It says
(15:40):
the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio seventy ten
WNTM news headlines coming up in about ten minutes. I
want to check some voicemail. Voicemail number two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two five one
two one six nineteen seventy six, now, I believe. On
(16:01):
Monday's program, I talked about scammers in Alabama that were
taking advantage of people scaring them about this star Id program,
calling people and getting their personal information, trying to help
them get their star ID. I asked a question if
(16:22):
scammers ever get caught, because I don't know that I've
ever heard of scammers getting caught, the ones that call
people and trick them and get their information like that.
Now Buford has decided to phone in about the scammers.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Listen to your radio program on the am radio.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
God bless you for that love the am.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Radio mentioned uh steeve ever catch these scammers? No, Henry.
I have told these scammers when they've called me that
I'd give them whatever they want as long as they
would meet me personally to get it, so I could
give whoever it is a good thrashing. I hate stammers.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Henry, you know, I'm going to look up thrashing. I
think I know what it means, but you want to
give them a good thrashing. I'm going to look it
up to see exactly what a thrashing would entail if
someone were to thrash me, or if I decided to
give someone else a good thrashing. I don't know that
I'm physically able to thrasher.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
The reason nobody ever catches these scammers is they're almost
all of them are overseas, outside of the federal government
and local law enforcement jurisdiction. A lot of these scammers
are based in the Ukraine. All you dag them fleeting
harts putting your Ukrainian flags on your house is just
keep in mind that Ukraine was a hotbed for these scammers.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
By the way, I looked up thrashing and the let's
see the ox. I don't even know what the source
of this definition is. But one of the definitions is
an act of physically beating. So it's about I didn't
know a thrashing was a beating. I thought it might
involve an implement be like a whipping, but no, it's
(18:11):
a beating, all right, anyway, just in case you need
to thrash somebody or use the word all right, back
to the analysis of the scammers bags on.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Your house is just keep in mind that Ukraine was
a hotbed for these scammers, Russia as well, and different
countries in Africa. But Henry, I do I would love
to see President krumpfire a cruise missile to these scammers.
They're in giant call centers in these foreign countries. Just
(18:40):
start blowing up call centers, Henry, and foreign countries that
house these scammers. A good missile up there, dag on
my air duck would do a world a lot of
good and it would cut down on them as well.
But Henry, they're all based overseas, most of them. Anyway, Henry,
you have a good day.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yes, I had, now that you've mentioned this, I remember
reading years ago, and when I say years, maybe like
five or six years ago, reading about people in Ukraine,
people in Russia, that yes, we could identify that the
scammers were there, but there was little that could be
done about them. So Youford, thank you for jogging my
(19:23):
memory and also causing me to have some intellectual curiosity
about the act of thrashing. Someone now before I'm at
a time. The Mayor of Mobile had a special Mayor's
Breakfast today with the Downtown Mobile Alliance, and I'm personally
curious as to what he told them. So let's listen
(19:45):
together as Fox ten covers the Mayor's Breakfast this morning
and what he told those Downtown Mobile people.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Andy Stimpson made his final address to the Downtown Mobile
Alliance this morning during his annual Prayer Breakfast with the
n event. Fox ten News reporter Stephen Moody has more
on his message.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Mayor City Stinson speaking to this crowd for the final
time before he retires at the end of the year.
Every year, the Mayor's Breakfast brings everyone together to discuss
updates on the city's plan for downtown and its continued growth.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
And the Downtown Alliance has been a good partner. They've
had a plan for Downtown collaboratively, we've worked that plan.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
We see a lot of results with the end of
the day.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
What you want to do, you want to create an
environment where you have a thriving downtown.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Guests included local business, civic and elected leaders. Mayor Stinson
spoke about future projects of what he hopes for the
future of the Port city.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
The foundation has been laid, I think is very solid.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
But when you think about what's going to happen on
the footprint where the auditorium was and where the arena's
going to be at the Corvina, that's a billion dollars
of investment, and you think of the future of that,
with the river Walk plaza, the new hotel, what we're
doing to activate the waterfront and.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
A right and so forth.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
It's just the future modes really really well for downtown
Mobile and for.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
The new mayors since in which is them success with
the future.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
My new mayor has a lot to look forward to,
and I hope that all.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
These organizations will embrace them and help hammer her and
continue to move downtown forward, because without a great downtown,
you'll not have a great city.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Steven Moody Fox the News, All right, very good. I
just look, listener, I just want to know, and yes,
the next mayor, whoever it is, has a lot to
look forward to with all those projects going on. At
the same time, they have a lot of progress. I'm
sure there'll be a lot of happiness and excitement. And
at the same time, as I've learned through the years,
(21:42):
at the same time as happiness and progress, there will
be lots and lots of bitter complaints, because that's the
nature of human beings. Human beings are like that, and
with change you'll get a lot of complaints as well.
So I hope the new mayor, whoever it is, is
thick skin or maybe even hard of hearing. All right,
(22:02):
out of time for this edition of the Uncle Ambree Show.
I thank you for listening to it or parts of it.
As they say in sarah Land, have a good one,
and as they say in Theodore, take it easy
Speaker 5 (22:18):
All right Later
