Only, short leisurely drive from spring Hill Avenue to Westmobile

ten handicap stickers, handicap hangers on the on the rear

plenty of things to talk to you about today, but
I do like talking to living callers. Let me see
if I have a living caller here to start the hour.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Hello caller, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
How are you John?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
How are you? You are love on the radio.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yes, sir, I just wanted to make a short little
statement that I sho a question. This is concerning September
twenty third, the runoff election. Yes, I researched, drumming a
little bit. I'm obviously not going to vote for because one,
(03:16):
she worked with Sam Jones and that speaks for itself.
Two that she's an admitted Democrat and says she has
disdain for Trump. The third one is I wanted to
ask you a question about is it true that she
voted to shut down Big Creek Lake?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Okay? That I don't know. I don't know if she
voted to shut it down or not.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Because I heard she was on the board of Moat
of the Water. Yeah, yeah, and yeah, and when it
came to vote that she voted to restrict the fishing
and boting and all the things that have gone on
in the last couple of years. I just wanted to
verify that was true.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
All right, Well I will, I will look into it
and I will let you know.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Okay, thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
All right, Hey, thank you, John, appreciate you listening. Thank
you for calling. There, he goes John. Two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. The telephone number
that is two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. September twenty third, the runoff election date in Mobile,
Alabama or Mayor of Mobile and runoff between Spiro Chargatis
(04:34):
and Stay Representative Barbara Drummond. Now in the UH the
mayor's race. There was a story out yesterday. Lanyap had
it and probably many other outlets did. And that is
the Mayor of Birmingham, Randall Woodfinn, the Mayor of Birmingham,
has endorsed Barbara Drummond for Mayor of Mobile. He has
(04:59):
endorsed her saying that she's got a people first vision
for Mobile. Now, do you think that moves the needle
in Mobile, Alabama? That you've gone and got the mayor
of Birmingham to endorse you as you're running for the
mayor of Mobile. Now I checked and saw that. Let's
(05:20):
see the website wallet hub dot com that ranks all
the cities on all these lists every week. They did
the best Cities to Raise a family list earlier this
year twenty twenty five the best cities to raise a
family and out of one hundred and eighty two let's
(05:42):
see one hundred and eighty two cities. I believe Birmingham
ranked one seventy seven. Birmingham ranked it was one hundred
and eighty two cities on the list. Birmingham ranked one
hundred and seventy seven on the list of cities that
are asked to raise a family in. In other words,
(06:04):
Birmingham was in the bottom ten on that list. So, look,
it's nice to get endorsements, but maybe you should get
endorsements that people would want, that would people would like.
I don't know if it's being endorsed by the mayor
of b now. I know he won reelection convincingly. But uh,
(06:26):
and they're also Birmingham also on the list of most
dangerous cities in the United States, so not really a
great endorsement. In my personal opinion, to get the mayor
of Birmingham to endorse you for the mayor of Mobile,
it would be better. What are some popular cities around here.
If you could get the Saarland mayor to endorse you,
(06:48):
maybe people would like that. Maybe the fair Hope mayor.
People love fair Hope. Maybe get the fair Hope mayor
to endorse you. A lot of people seem to like
this new guy that's going to be the mayor of
Spanish for you, and get him to endorse her or
something like that. Mayor mccheese, you know, probably that would
be the biggest endorsement for Mobilians because we are one
of the most overbeast cities on the planet. Maybe if
(07:12):
you could get the Mayor mccheese endorsement, that would do well.
But the Mayor of Birmingham, that is a If I
were running for mayor and the Mayor of Birmingham wanted
to tap me on the shoulder and says, hey, I'm
with you, I'd ask him to would you mind keeping
that under your hat Mayor Birmingham, would you mean, would
(07:35):
you mind keeping your support from me to just on
the down low a little bit? As I'm trying to
win the race for mayor of Mobile, So have do endorsements?
Has that mattered to you in mayor's races? I'm thinking back.
I can't remember when it was Dow versus Outlaw, for example,
(08:00):
did either one of them have big endorsements they were
touting anyway? September twenty third, if you live in Mobile,
make sure you vote if you're a registered voter September
twenty third, or either spire Row or Barbara. All right,
(08:24):
there's more to come, a lot more to get into
your phone. Calls are welcome. The Uncle Henry Show will

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Hello, color, goody me, Uncle Henry Bert Bert.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You are live on the radio.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Uncle Henry. I would like to see one more debate
between Drumming and chair Gus.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
I have said on this show before that I don't
believe that Drummond is out as far out in the
left field as people like Kamala and Tim Walls, but
I'd kind of like to hear it from her. Is
she going to identify with the National Democrat Party? Is
she going to cooperate with ICE? Or is she going
(10:17):
to declare Mobile a sanctuary city? Is she going to
allow biological males to use women's and girls' restrooms city property.
I'd like to hear from her that she's a Mobilian
and not a Californian so to speak.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
All right, well, those are good. Those would be good
things to find out, wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
They They would. I would like to hear it from her,
I really would.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
All Right, Well, I'm going to assume I probably should
not make the assumption, but I assume that now she has.
Her campaign told me that she will come on the
Uncle Henry Show at some point between now and the
twenty third, so I will remember I asked those questions.
I might even play your phone call.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
That would be great, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Okay, well, thank you for taking a call.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Bert, Thank you, Thank you for listening to the Uncle
Henry Show. There goes Bert two five one four seven
nine two seven two three the telephone number. Now, I
don't know about sanctuary, if she would want to do
the sanctuary city stuff or anything like that. I have
no idea. We'll all find out when we're able to
talk to her. Now. I did see her talking. I
(11:31):
found some videos of her. She was a delegate. She
was a delegate to the Democrat National Convention for Kamala Harris.
Do you remember Kamala Harris, How bright she was? You
remember Joe Biden? He was the president. I know it
may have been may been hard to notice he was president,
(11:52):
but he was. You may remember he was president, now
I do. I did see a video of Representative drumm
and talking about how great Kamala Harris is and how
wonderful Joe Biden has been for Alabama. In fact, let
me see if I can share this with you. This
was recorded before Kamala Harris was beaten in the presidential
(12:18):
election by Donald Trump. So let me see if I
could share this with you. Barbara Drummond talking about Kamala
Harris and Joe Biden.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Honored to be a delicate for Harris.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Walker honored to be a delicate for Kamala Harris US campaign.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
What do you think of the Harris Boston Oh.
Speaker 8 (12:36):
I think it's going to be It's phenomenal because what
it has done is renewed a lot of hope for
a lot of people, especially in Alabama.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
So if you were in Alabama and the candidacy of
Kamala Harris gave you hope with.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
All of the issues and the things and the success
stories that you see in Alabama right now are due
to Joe Biden.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
So we're happy now.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Did you know that? See this is educational the success
stories that you've seen in Alabama or due to Joe
Biden to be.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
Here tonight so that we can honor him. Because if
you look at all the success stories from the infrastructure
to the bridge and mobile from broadband, it is all
due to the Biden Harris ticket and We're just excited
to be here because this is a historic moment, not
just because she's an African American woman, but because she's
(13:27):
at now.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Is Kamala Harris an African American woman? I've forgotten there
is there. Well, I'll research it.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Qualified African American woman. Yes, what do you think about?
Has that my's decision to.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Pass the torture?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
I think that what we saw with him doing that.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Is being asked, what do you think of Joe Biden
passing the torch to Kamala Harris?
Speaker 8 (13:56):
Somebody who loves this country more than himself, And that's
not what we have On the opposite side, he is
looking at the future for my grandchildren, for our children,
to make sure that they have freedoms and rights that
they can build a better country for tomorrow. So you're
(14:17):
looking at a selfless individual who look beyond himself and
look more at the United States of America.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
And what do you have to hear at his speech tonight?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
What do you want to hear in the speech tonight?
Speaker 7 (14:29):
I want well, I hope he will.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
He will talk, you know, just sort of do his
own horn and talk about all the good things that
he has done in those three and a half years.
But more importantly, I hope he give us a little
footprint on why he selected Kamala Harris as his VP
pit because that's phenomenal. When you look at what this
man has done for this country in just a short
(14:53):
period of time, we not only need to give him flowers.
He needs to have a benchmark in history that will
never ever go away.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Wow. Now, Joe bideny, it's rare to hear people talk
about Joe Biden such glowing terms. Is it gonna end
up on Mount Rushmore?
Speaker 10 (15:10):
A minute ago?
Speaker 7 (15:10):
But what would it mean to see Vice President Harris?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
What would it mean to see Kamala Harris as president? President?
Speaker 7 (15:16):
First woman president? You know what kind of you know
what kind of impacted me?
Speaker 11 (15:20):
Do?
Speaker 7 (15:20):
I think it's gonna have a tremendous impact. What I
said a.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Moment ago is she's not only an African American woman,
but she's.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
A qualified woman. She's a proven leader.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Who has shown that she is one of us when
you look at her background, her background.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Is, did Kamala Harris ever say anything that made sense? Now?
I'm sure she used to, she must have some time
in her career, But when she was running for president.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Did she much like most of America, she's a middle
class person who knows what it is to struggle.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Kamala Harris is a middle class person who knows how
to struggle.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
She knows what it is not to have rights in
this country. So it's going to be a very historic moment,
not just because of what her gender is or what
her color is, but but what I think that she's
going to be able to do for this country.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
All right, So there anyway, that was for Bert that
called in Bert. We didn't hear anything about sanctuary cities
or anything like that, but we did hear about Kamala
Harrison knows what it's like to be middle class and
not have any rights in the country. And she will
be an incredible president. What a great thing it is.
(16:33):
And all the success we've seen in Alabama's due to
Joe Biden and just those short three and a half years.
Just look at all look at how wonderful it is
in Alabama thanks to him. Bert. I wish I had
more for you, but I'll keep looking. I'll keep looking
and see what I can find for you. All right.
(16:53):
Going to take a time out for news headlines. We
have news headlines coming up here on the Uncle Henry Show.
And then there's a lot more to get to have
some wonderful messages from listeners, other news items that I

to get to. People have left me some voicemail messages,
and I wanted to leave this. I wanted to play
this for you. The retired mad trucker L D calling
(19:11):
in because he wants us to know there are good
people in the world.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Oh, Henry L D.
Speaker 12 (19:18):
You know there's some good people in this world, sir,
there's some good people. I complain about a lot of
bad people, but there's some good people. Because I'm up
here in Mississippi North Mississippi, retired man, I'm doing some
work for a relative who is having problems. I guess
you would say a domestic problem with another relative or
(19:42):
another spouse, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 13 (19:44):
Anyway, the man across the street sees this right, and
he sees that what has transpired in the last couple
of days, which is not good and I'm not going
to talk about it, but he did.
Speaker 10 (19:55):
Something, Uncle Henry.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
He came over and he said, I see you in strife, brother,
Can I pray for you? And we stood there at
the evel of this house, relatives house, and we all
put arms around each other, and he prayed for peace
in this family. He didn't know me from Adam's cat,
(20:23):
and he came over and he prayed with us. That's
when you know God is around. That's when you know, LD.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Thank you for sharing that story with us. With the listener,
that's LD telling us. That's when you know God is around.
And one of the great things about this phone call
for the rest of us, for those of us that
listened to this that weren't there. So you just heard
(20:56):
LD's reaction trouble in that family, trying to help that family,
and a stranger walks over from across the street and says,
I can see that you're in strife. Can I pray
for you? Now you may think that you can't make
a difference in somebody's life. You just heard it. You
(21:19):
just heard it. All it took was this man walking
across the street and offering to pray. That's all it took.
Sol LD, thank you, thank you for sharing that. Again,
this is something for all of us to learn. You
might think they don't want to hear from me, and
(21:39):
you know what, maybe nine times out of ten somebody
who's going to tell you no, thanks or something. But
the tenth time, don't be afraid to do this. Don't
be afraid to do this. And again I'll thank you
for the third or fourth time.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
L D.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Thank you for sharing that because a lot of us
need to hear this. A lot of us need to
know that there are people out there that need our help.
And if all you can do is pray, that's plenty.
That's plenty. So LD, thanks again for the voicemail. Voicemail
number two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six.
(22:17):
That's two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six.
I see you in strife, brother, Can I pray for you?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Hello Color, Hey, Henry, Jimmy the Economist.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Jimmy the Economist, you are live on the radio.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
How are things things are?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
They've been better, but they're pretty good.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
How's your health?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
My health has been better, but it's still pretty good.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I'm glad to hear it, sir, I'm wondering how the
health of the Alabama Christ and Tide family is not good.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
No, no, it's not good. Here's a problem.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Can't get an easy w No. As a coach. Two weeks.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
We're finding out.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I'm sorry to hear it. I mean the FSU right
down the road in Tallahasseee. I never would have thought
they would have come out about and taken Alabama down
like they did. I mean, I figured this is University
of Alabama. It's like the best university football team that's
(23:35):
ever existed in the history of the universe. Lose the FSU,
You're right, Yes, Well, they might need to reschedule some
easier front end games, you know. I mean Georgia played Marshall.
I think we cooked forty nine on them, Yeah, which
(23:56):
probably isn't enough in my books, I'd would rather cook
seven nine on them.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
But I agree.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
BAMA might need to rethink the early entry. Maybe that
was scheduled long ago, prior to Sabing leaving. But I'm
trying to tell me if I'm tell me if I'm wrong.
But name me another SEC town, whether it be Athens
(24:25):
or Oxford, Auburn, or I don't know any sec Town
Baton rouge who hangs like statues of their idols right
there when you walk up to their stadium. Who else
does that?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I don't know. You know, I'm not well traveled.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I'm not either, but I've been to Alabama and it's
like a dozen of them walking up there. That might
even be the the jersey I watched the jersey guy
from the nineteen ninety two championship team. I think he
has a statue of himself. He's like the head laundry
(25:09):
guy from the ninety two championship team. Ninety three maybe, yeah,
we like you.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Look when you win championships over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over
and again, you like to market, you like to commemorate it.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah. Well, I never would imagine that the guy that
kept the player's laundry would have had a la statue
presented to themselves and the Walker champions there at T
Town on the way to the I think of the
ninety two team, what was that guy's name? I don't
(25:42):
even remember the head coach in those days.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
What was his name?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
You're talking about? Coach Stallings?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Stallings, Stallings, I think his head laundry guy has a
statue of himself and the Walker champions there.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I hope there's more. I would like to see even
more statues commemorating all of maybe all of the laundry
people for saving and all of that. You know, it's interesting.
I just played that voicemail from l D and Jimmy,
you could have called and you could have said. You
could have said, uncle Henry, as an Alabama fan, I
(26:17):
can see that you're in strife. Brother. Can I, as
a Georgia fan, pray for you and your team? You
could have done that. You could have said, Uncle Henry.
I know you're an Alabama fan and I see you
in strife with your team stinking it up. I see
(26:41):
you're in strife, Uncle Henry. Can I pray with you,
my brother? But no, you didn't do that. You wanted
to take You wanted to take the pain and twist
it up even more. All Right, Well, Jimmy, look, Jimmy,
understand Georgia is still still enjoying what it's like to
(27:02):
finally be good after many, many decades of stinking. I
understand you're feeling good because you've got the last legacy
of Saban. There but you missed out. You could have
been you could have taken the high road. But there
(27:24):
will be opportunities in the future, Jimmy for you to
do so. Back with more after the break now. Number
one for podcasting.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
This is News Radio seven ten double UNTN and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
It says the Uncle Henry Show. Here on News Radio
seven to ten WNTM. It is five point fifty. We
have news headlines coming up, News headlines coming up here
in about ten minutes. Now. In the last couple of weeks,
(28:20):
I did a show with Johnny Gwenn and Scott Tindall.
Johnny Gwenn of Deep Fried Studios dot com. He and
Scott Tindall. They have an AI company, I think it's
called medsu Kate, and they're also doing a show every
weekday starting at eleven forty five every weekday morning called
(28:43):
Lunch Breaks that you can find on the x app
or on YouTube. Now. When they were in here, they
talked about artificial intelligence taking people's jobs and stuff like that,
and I've got some good news on that front. I
(29:04):
saw a story today that scientists research scientists in Poland
and Italy have invented a robot based on goats. It's
a robot goat, and the robot goat is was created
(29:24):
to help forestry experts. The robot goat is going to
walk through rugged terrain in the forest to count trees
and collect samples with the forestry people. So they've invented
a robot goat. Now I consider this good news. I do.
The reason I consider it good news that they've developed
(29:45):
a robot goat to help the forestry experts is that
we're worried about AI taking our jobs. But this, this
is taking a goat's job. Yeah, it's a goat. There's
(30:07):
a goat somewhere that has lost a job to a
robot goat. So this I think this is good news.
I think the humans are being left alone here and
it's the goat that's losing its job. Now, no offense
to the goat. I hope it's happy wherever it is,
but I figured this is good news. No human losing
(30:29):
their job. The robot is replacing a goat, and it's
doing something that would have bored a goat. I mean,
a goat doesn't want to who would want to spend
time counting trees with a forestry guy. So good news
on the AI front. Now, speaking of AI, I did
get a message about artificial intelligence phoned into the Uncle
(30:52):
Henry Show.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Radio from the day Feller send in an electronic mail
message talking about the AI's taking over your job. Henry,
let me tell you this. You know, I'm sure they'll
do it. Somebody will somewhere. It'll be like the cracker
barrel rebranded, where it was just corporate fluff and everybody
(31:21):
hated it. Everybody will hate it, Henry, if there is
a robot doing your show, I mean, it won't be that.
What will be the point in listening to it. We
listened to it to listen to Uncle Henry the humanist,
the human version of Uncle Henry. I don't want no
(31:41):
dagum robot or cyborg or none of that nonsense, Henry.
That brings a very interesting dilemma that Youford Jr. Is
now in eighth grade, his his pals or you know,
they're at the age where they're all starting to wonder
(32:01):
what they want to do for a living when they
grow up, right if they want to go to college
or learn a trade or something like that. Right, Henry,
They're having to deal with something that we never had to.
There's some fellas in his class that want to be
stockbrokers and lawyers and such.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
But you now there's eighth graders that want to be stockbrokers,
and your your kid is in a good class. That's
a good class to be in if the other kids
want to be stockbrokers. When I was in the eighth grade,
the other students I was in school with, they wanted
to win paper football's. Yes, that's what we wanted to do.
(32:37):
Is we wanted to be good at paper football. And
I don't know that we even thought about how we
were going to earn a living.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Now what's interesting is they're having to contend if that
job will be around when they are of age to
apply for it, or if the AI has taken over.
So Henry, they have these lists of jobs they'd like
to do, and then they have to cross reference research
if the robots of the future, the AI robots will
(33:10):
be taking over those jobs and those jobs won't exist.
I tell you what. A lot of these young fellas
and they go to a private school, Henry, a lot
of them are second guessing going to college to get
a so called white collared job and starting to focus
on the trades.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Very interesting dynamic there because, by the way, Buford, let
me know in a future voicemail they're in a private school.
Mom and dad are paying for a private school, but
they're thinking of the trades. I don't know that. Do
you think mom and dad like to hear that?
Speaker 10 (33:44):
You figured? You know, AI robots will not take over
the trades as much as they will take over these
stockbroker lawyers and even some doctrine positions. Anyway, Henry, just
one more thing that younger general you gotta continue with.
You have a good day.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Thank you Beauford for your voicemail. More show after the break.
(34:28):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. I appreciate very much you're listening to
the Uncle Henry's Show. Now this half hour of show,
I'm gonna get to some news items that I missed.
You might have missed them too, And if I have time,
I'll get to a voicemail message or two. Let's start
(34:52):
with this news item. This news item is about the
powerball jackpot. The powerball jackpot. Now, if you're an Alabamian
listening to the Uncle Henry Show, then you may not
even know. You might not even know about the powerball jackpot,
because the politicians that represent Alabamians up in Montgomery in
(35:15):
the Alabama legislature, they believe that you do not want
any kind of gambling in the state of Alabama. They
believe that you do not want a lottery in the
state of Alabama. And I say that they believe that
because I've watched them. I've noticed that there's just not
been any real gambling legislation that has moved forward in
(35:38):
the state of Alabama. Now, it may be that the
politicians want lotteries and want gambling, and whoever is really
running the state won't let them have a lottery or gambling.
Who knows. Look, I know that I run into people
all the time that said they wish they could buy
a lottery ticket in Alabama. But that does not translate.
(36:01):
Those wishes don't translate into any kind of action with
the Alabama politicians in Montgomery. So they either don't want
it or the people that really run the state don't
want it, whoever they might be. Now, first though, I
do want to cover this for you because this is
this is getting a lot of attention even though we
(36:23):
don't have a gambling in Alabama. First here's a brief
item from Fox talking about how the jackpot for tonight
and they're going to be drawing another another drawing tonight.
It is historically high.
Speaker 11 (36:38):
The jackpot's now at one point four billion dollars. That's
the fourth largest jackpot, So the dream is very much alive.
We ask people what they would do if they won,
and many props.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
See this is just the media. The media loves this.
The media loves to report on these these these lotteries
because they like to go to stupid people and ask
them what they do if they won the money. That's it,
because it's an easy news story. It's instead of actually
investigating something like, hey, there's a bunch of Alabamians that
(37:11):
say they want to buy lottery tickets in Alabama, but
the Alabama legislature never seems to pass this. Let's go
find out who's really running the state. Let's investigate and
find out who's running the state, who's pulling the strings,
who controls these legislators and prevents them from moving forward
with this. We don't get that, We don't get those
kind of stories. They're not going to go out and
(37:31):
investigate nothing. Instead, let's talk to stupid people that are
going to buy a lottery ticket. All right, well, let's
listen as a National Fox reporter interviews stupid people about
the lottery. What would they do if they win? What
would they do with their money?
Speaker 11 (37:50):
I mused to be quite charitable. Listen to this.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
I would take.
Speaker 14 (37:53):
Care of my family, of course, you know, maybe do
it a little bit of charities, live a good life, retire.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
I'm gonna help all those who help me. That's what
I'm gonna do. And I'm gonna build.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
I think I'm gonna build like a church or something.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
I'm gonna build a church. You know, people that have
one in imaginary lottery are some of the most generous
people on earth. You know, it is easy to be
generous with imaginary money. It is, you know, to ask them, hey,
what would you do if you won the lottery? Why
not just ask them? What would you do if you
(38:28):
won the lottery every time? What would you What would
you do if you had all the money in the world.
What would you do if you won the lottery and
at the same time that you won, magically you were
twice the height of any average person, and you were
like a giant walking through the land. Well, I mean, seriously,
why not ask other fantasy questions? They love asking them
(38:55):
this fantasy what what would you do if you won?
Why don't they ask them what would you do if
you won the lottery and you also could fly like
a bird? What would you do? Would you fly around
dropping money on people?
Speaker 11 (39:08):
Just?
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Why not? It's an equally stupid question. Our line of
questioning for.
Speaker 8 (39:14):
Kids to go a church, plus like kids ground, kids
playing ground, I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 11 (39:20):
Your chances to win the entire thing are one in
two hundred and ninety two point two million. Ten people
matched all five white balls in Monday's drawing but missed
the power ball, so they each won a million dollars.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Okay, ball matching. It's very exciting to find out you've
got matching balls with a lottery. All right, let's see,
I've got the Alabama angle on this, because Alabama we
ain't gotten a lottery, but we abut lottery states. So
let's see. Here is a reporter from WBrC in Birmingham,
(39:57):
This young lady. They sent her to jo Georgia to
interview Alabamians who drove from Alabama to Georgia to buy
a lottery tickets. Now, this is these have to be
some of the smartest people in Alabama. If they if
they're going to spend their time driving to another state
to buy lottery tickets, let's listen together. What do they
(40:19):
have to say?
Speaker 15 (40:20):
Mentioned genas, this is a really fun story. You know,
we're talking about Powerball. We're talking about you know, that
one point three billion dollar jackpot. And let me tell you,
folks out here, several folks from Alabama, might I add,
are really excited about this.
Speaker 7 (40:33):
I've had a chance.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Excited about They haven't won anything, but they're excited as.
Speaker 15 (40:37):
To talk to a couple of them that have driven
hours to get those Powerball tickets, of course hoping to
win big one of them.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
You know, if you've driven hours to another state to
buy a lottery ticket, are you somebody that we need
to listen to your opinion on anything?
Speaker 15 (40:54):
Gentlemen that I got to speak with a little bit
earlier today. Now, he traveled from Chelsea, Alabama, not far
from Birmingham, so very local, but he traveled from Chelsea's
name is Darryl Baxter, and he tells me that Alabama
is actually missing out on millions in potential revenue by
not having a lottery in the state. Now, meanwhile, he is,
of course hoping that here in Georgia he'll get that
(41:17):
billion dollar return.
Speaker 9 (41:19):
We have so many issues with so many roads and education,
et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Yeah, so we're gonna get We're gonna get in. I
learned about the issues of Alabama from somebody that thinks
it's a wise financial decision to drive for hours to
drop money into a lottery.
Speaker 9 (41:39):
They could go to that and I understand there's who's
going to control it, and it is a corrupt and
all that stuff. I get that, but follow suit and
study other states that do this. Do your research, and
let's make it happen. Nothing against Georgia, but I could
have dropped this money up in Alabama.
Speaker 15 (42:00):
Yeah, he makes a good point there, now if you're right.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
Yeah, I'm sorry, listener, I apologize for laughing at this
kind of stuff. Oh yeah, he makes a good point.
Driven all the way across the dadgum state to drop
some money. You know, this guy would make a good
point if he wins the lottery. That Now, if he
won the lottery, then I would be interested in hearing
his video thoughts on how we should run the state
(42:26):
of Alabama. Otherwise, do I care?
Speaker 15 (42:30):
Just waking up with us this morning and thinking about
making the trip down here to Georgia to buy that
lottery ticket. You have until about ten pm Eastern time
to do so. So if you do plan on taking
that trip down here, you do have a lot of
time to do so. Now we'll stick around and try
to find some other Alabamians to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
But for now, okay, instead of actually investigating a news story,
we're gonna wait at a convenience store for dumb people
from Alabama to walk up so we can ask him
what would you spend your money on? All right, back
with more Uncle Henry Show after the break. Let's take
the break. This says the Uncle Henry Show here on
(43:20):
news radio seventy ten w NTM, got news headlines coming
up in ten minutes. Before we get to the news headlines,
a few more news items you may have missed because
I missed them too. Let me find out about these things.
Here's a very brief story from Fox ten I want
(43:41):
to share. This is about a Bruton woman. Yes, all right,
you're already excited, aren't You're already quite intrigued because it's
a Bruton woman. You rarely hear about the women of
Bruton in the news now, I don't know. Maybe you
hear about the women of Bruton and other circles, but
they don't often end up in the news, the women
of Bruton. A Bruton woman arrested for pepper spraying her
(44:07):
ex boyfriend at his house. Let's listen, this is very
brief from the anchorman. What's this anchorman's name at Foxtown,
Cameron Taylor. Here's Camering Taylor with the story about the
woman of Bruton pepper spraying or ex boyfriend in his house.
Speaker 14 (44:29):
A woman in Bruton accused of going to her ex
boyfriend's home and pepper sprang him. A court record say,
Brooklyn Bertram pepper spray. The man hit him with an
extension cord across his head in his back before leaving.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
All right, so he got also got whipped with an
extension cord. A pepper sprang and a whipping with an
extension cord. This in Bruton, Alabama.
Speaker 14 (44:51):
Virtue has charged with criminal use of defensive spray and
domestic violence, according to jail records.
Speaker 4 (44:56):
All right, now, there's nothing funny about this at all. However,
the reason I included this is the mugshot. Now, I
can't show you the mugshot because radio still unable to
show pictures. Now, we're still we're working on it. We
are still working on it, but the technology is not
yet perfected in radio. We cannot show you the pictures.
(45:21):
But the mugshot, this woman looks happy. She looks like
it was worth it. Now, I'm not saying you should
ever do this. Do not pepper spray people unless you're
actually really defending yourself. Don't whoop them with extension cords
about their back and head. But this woman it must
(45:42):
have been worth it for her. She in her mugshot.
You can find this at foxtentv dot com foxtentv dot com.
This woman looks very happy. Now, it's rare that the
mugshot you look this happy. But she wasn't arrested for
public intoxication or nothing, so it must be whatever joy
(46:05):
she's feeling at pepper spraying and whooping. Let me listen again,
see if she actually got charged with anything else.
Speaker 14 (46:12):
Ord say Brooklyn Bertram pepper sprayed the man hit him
with an extension court across his head, in his back
before leaving. Bertram has charged with criminal use of defensive
spray and domestic violence according to jail records.
Speaker 4 (46:24):
All right, so no intoxication, So this was just pure
joy on her face. She's facing serious charges and still
smiling in the mugshot. We've heard before on the Unclaimery
show that you're innocent until proven guilty, allegedly in this country.
So you are innocent until proven guilty. So when they're
(46:47):
taking your mugshot, you are innocent until proven guilty. You
should smile the smile of an innocent person when you
were getting that mugshot taken. All right, let's see what
else can I tell you about the stuff that's been
in the news. Oh, this is now. I've told you
about this before, but this story continues to annoy me
(47:11):
to no end. The Mobile City Council spending some like
eight hundred thousand dollars on a traffic study because they
want to stop a lot of the traffic on Water Street.
They cannot stand the fact that people are actually driving
on Water Street from the interstate up to one sixty five. Here,
(47:34):
I believe again, is cameering tailor telling us what the
city council is spending their money.
Speaker 14 (47:38):
On Mobile City Council approving a contract with Vulcart Inc.
They'll study the feasibility of reconfiguring Water Street to make
it more pedestrian friendly. So the idea is to narrow.
Speaker 4 (47:48):
The road and narrow the Dadgum Road.
Speaker 14 (47:51):
Slow down traffic coming off it ten. City officials hope
that will make it easier for people to cross the
street and get to features like the new Amtrak Stationtime
Museum and the Cooper Riverside Park.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
All right, I've talked about this on the air, so
I won't go into a lengthy dissertation on it. But
I'm old enough to remember, old enough to remember that
when they were building I won sixty five and all
that stuff. The plan, the original plan was to have
an elevated expressway from I ten over to I one
(48:26):
sixty five that would be above Water Street. An elevated expressway.
This would eliminate all this traffic. They're so upset. They
want the pedestrians to get to the Maritime Museum. They
want the pedestrians to get to Cooper Riverside Park, and
they're scared across the street. So I remember when the
(48:51):
plan was to have an elevated expressway, and then the
city fathers and the city mothers and the business people
of downtown Mobile went wild and were angry and crying
and upset. They demanded that the traffic be brought down
to street level at Water Street because they were worried
(49:13):
that nobody would go downtown Mobile, that Downtown would Mobile
would miss on that traffic, how would the businesses survive.
So they got rid of the idea of the elevated expressway.
They put the traffic down on Water Street. And ever
since they put the traffic on Water Street, you've had
all these some of them the same people trying to
(49:35):
figure out how to stop the dad gum traffic on
Water Street. I would leave the traffic alone on Water Street.
And if you're worried about the pedestrians, build pedestrian bridges
all right out of time. Thank you for listening, as
they say in Sarahland, have a good one. As they
(49:56):
say in Theodore, take it easy, all right Later,
