Speaker 1 (00:00):
Weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Your man, what do you.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Want for Christmas? All I want for Christmas is the
city of Mobile to six there regular streets. That's all
I want for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you. I appreciate very much you
listening to the Uncle Henry Show. There are many, many,
thousands and millions and trillions of other things that you
(01:38):
could be listening to right now that would probably be
easier to understand. But here you are with me on
the Uncle Henry Show, and I appreciate that bear very much.
Thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Once again.
Here we are together, me and you, just a two
(01:59):
of it here, trying to figure out what is going on,
what's going on in the world around us. We'll try
to figure some of that stuff out in this particular
hour of Uncle Henry's show. Now, there was a Mobile
City Council meeting today. I will give you coverage of
today's Mobile City Council meeting and also get into some
other stuff in this hour of show. If you'd like
(02:20):
to call the show and bring something forward. Two five, one, four,
seven nine two seven two three. That is the telephonic
number to call two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three to call the Uncle Henry Show
with whatever it is you want to call in with,
and you can call in with just about anything as
long as an eight pornographic or scatological in nature. Now
(02:43):
today mobile city council meeting one of the things. And
by the way, another brief meeting under an hour, so
you local officials. I don't know what it is. I
don't know if it's just everybody's excited that they got
elected and there's some new people on the council and
there's a new mayor, and maybe there's just not the
(03:05):
same appetite for the hot air. I don't know, but
there was still some hot air. Could have been shorter
today if the people elected to office had watched their
mouths and used word economy, the meeting could have been
thirty minutes or less, almost like one of them old
(03:27):
fashioned pizzas that would get delivered. But no, they still
had to go over thirty minutes because when people get elected,
they think people want to hear what they have to
say about this, that and the other. So anyway, there
was still a little extra talking that was unnecessary in
my personal opinion, But still the meeting was I think
the meeting was under forty minutes. So again you're getting
(03:50):
great grades counseling Mayor on keeping these meetings brief. If
you get them even briefer, that'd be fantastic. Now, one
of the things discussed brought up at the meeting was
the passing of a very prominent mobilion and bedsoul, So
I thought you might want to hear what was said
(04:12):
about that. Here is Mobile City Council Vice President Gina
Gregory introducing a moment of silence at the council meeting
on behalf of a bedsoul. Let's listen together.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Well, moment silence, if you would, in your own way,
please remember and in this moment of silence in memory
of political trailblazer Anne Bedsol, who passed away yesterday. She
was ninety five years old. Anne was a longtime resident
here in the city Mobile, and she made history as
(04:51):
the first Republican woman in the Alabama House of Representatives
and the first woman in the Alabama Senate. That's actually
where I first met Anne and started in nineteen ninety
five in the Senate, and I was working in Montgomery
at the time and was able to work with Anne
in her role as a state senator. And also was
(05:14):
known for having run for governor back in the day,
so that was also part of her being a trailblazer
and remembered that way. She also made a run for
mayor some time ago, back in two thousand and five.
But beyond politics, and Bedsol had many many successes here
in the city of Mobile and statewide. She co founded
(05:34):
the Alabama School of Math and Science here at Mobile.
She championed historic preservation here in the city, and she
also spearheaded the city's tri centennial celebration. So Anne's legacy
will be long long remembered. Her husband's family, the Bedsol
Foundation she is known for that as well as the
(05:54):
Sibil Smith Foundation that is in honor of her mother.
So Anne's legacy will live on for very long time.
And I just asked that you will please remember Anne
and her family in this moment of silence.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
All right. So, and Jenni Gregory mentioned the try Centennial
celebration from Mobile that Anne Bedsol did spearhead that I
heard a story about that this was just this was
according to a reporter. So I don't. I was not
a first hand witness to this, so you will have
(06:27):
to take it for what it's worth hearsay. But there's
a local reporter that claimed he well, I'll put it
this way. The local reporter used to get in private
discussions with Anne Bedsoel. The reporter was trying to convince
and Bedsoul that the math was that the mass the
(06:48):
math was wrong on the tri centennial celebration and that
we were celebrating it one year too soon. This was
between This was private between the reporter and a Bedsoel,
and the reporter came back to me at one point
and said that he claimed we were celebrating it a
year early because Anne Bedsoel wanted it that way. Now
(07:12):
I don't, I don't. I'm gonna go along with a
Bedsoel on this. I would think she would know better.
In fact, she she almost made it to one third
of the whole try centennial there. So anyway, uh, one more,
we have a little bit more on An Bedsol. Here
is mobile Mayor Spiro talking about and Bedsol.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I do want to echo some of Councilwoman Gregory's words
about miss Anne Bedsol She was a true trailblazer, you know,
the first woman in the Alabama Senate. Her efforts inspired
many many young women to pursue a career in politics.
She she truly broke open that that arena to many
(07:54):
young women and inspired men and women alike. So please
do keep your thoughts and prayers with her family as
they go through this difficult time. As was mentioned, she
did help fund the Alabama School of mathe and Science
in nineteen eighty nine, which continues to be the number
one high school in all of Alabama. It continues to
(08:16):
bring Alabama's best and brightest right here to Mobile. So
I certainly thank her for that. The title of her
autobiography was leave your Footprint, and I find that very appropriate.
She certainly did that, and that title reflects a life
of service that inspired many many young women and men.
(08:37):
So my thoughts and prayers were with her and her family,
her friends, and all those whose lives she touched. And
I wish her.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Peace, Yes, rest in peace, and bed soul back with more.
Uncle Henry's show After the Break seventy ten timesaver traffic
(09:05):
from the Main Street Flooring and Design Traffic Center. It
says the Uncle Henry Show. It's five twenty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes. Would be like to call
(09:29):
the show two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. That's two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. I've got more from today's Mobile City
Council that I'll share with you before the end of
the hour. But I've got a living caller on the line.
I love talking to the callers.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Hello, caller, good, ain't mean open Henry.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Bert Bert, you are live on the radio.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Uncle Henry. My heart goes out to the family of
Anne Beds. She was the senator from my district for
many years, the district that I lived in. Oh Wow, Okay,
And I think I got to see her. She came
to University of South Alabama when I was a political
science student there, and she spoke, and another state legislator
(10:15):
smoke spoke, and I voted for her many many times.
And I've got a story to tell you about a
time that I voted for her for an office that
she wasn't running for.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
In the late seventies, I was a volunteer for Guy
Hunt's campaign for governor, and I served as a pool
watcher to make sure all the columns, signatures lined up,
all that stuff, Yeah, and handed out handed out literature
for him at the fair, and uh, five James ran
against him and beat him three to one because all
(10:51):
the Alabama Conservatives still considered themselves Democrats in those days.
And so then five James ran what I considered to
be a very crooked administration for many, many reasons. And
I'm not going to into all the details about that.
But then when Guy Hunt was finally elected governor, Lieutenant
(11:12):
Governor Jim Folsom and Attorney General Jimmy Evans launched what
I considered to be a politically motivated prosecution of Hunt,
kind of like what Lutitia James and Alvin Brad did
to Trump in my opinion. Yeah, And so in ninety four,
(11:32):
our options were five James that had beaten Hunt in
that election, and Jim Folsom, who had engineered a coup
to make himself governor. He was the incumbent. And so therefore,
Uncle Henry and that election, I wrote in and bed
(11:54):
Soul to be the governor of Alabama.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Oh you did, I did.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I considered her to be governor material and I always
did and I always will. I think she would have
made a much better governor than Bob James or Siegamun
or probably any of them that we've had in the
last thirty years.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Hey, Burt, I'm just a quick tangent here. Did you
now you worked for on the Guy Hunt campaign or something?
Did you ever spend any time with Guy Hunt?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I did?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
What was he like? Because he came across I saw
him a few times at press conferences, and he just
came across as kind of uncomfortable campaigning. Was there? Am
I wrong about that?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Uncle Henry was. He was a country boy and it
might not have been in his wheelhouse to do with crowds.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I see him as kind of like junior sample, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Really?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, yeah, yeah, he was. He was. He was kind
of like he would have been. He would have been
more at home of d liming on he hall than
than pressing the flesh at political events.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Okay, Well, that now that explains it a little bit
to me, because he just seemed he was the first
Republican governor since reconstruction in Alabama, so he was kind
of an oddity seen a Republican up in that office,
and every time I was around him, he seemed to
be a little uncomfortable, and that kind of explains it.
If he was more comfortable on the farm, that makes
all the sense in the world to me.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That's the impression I got on Okay, But but I
just I just want all your listeners to know that
I was always a fan of Van Bedsol and I
wrote her in for a job that she wasn't even running.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And you were not a fan of Jim Poulsom Junior.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh heck no, Henry never never a fan of his.
All right, Well, and it's not it's not just the
things that he did when he was governor. It's like,
I've never really been a fan of dynasty politics, right,
you know what I mean? If you're married to this
politician or the so his grandson of at a title
(14:02):
get through this office, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I'm up. I get that you.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Gotta prove it to me that you're worthy of this
job beyond just having the right last name.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I agree. I'm with you on Matt, all right, Bert,
and hey, before before Christmas, I'd love it if you
could call one day and play some Christmas music on
your keyboard. If that, if you could ever do that
would love it.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
That's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
All right, Well, Bert, have a wonderful rest of your evening,
you too. All right, there he goes Bert giving us
a little of his personal history, voting for Anne Beds
writing her in or governor of the state of Alabama,
and he mentioned Jim Folsom Junior. Now, I was not
a Falsome fan either, But if you're a longtime listener
of the Uncle Henry Show, you'll know that one of
(14:53):
my favorite political ads of all time. I think it might.
I think it's my favorite political ad of all time,
and it was this Jim Folsom Junior. This is eleven
seconds from it. I love this so much. It's got
everything I love about Alabama politics in it. Just you'll listen.
Of course, the accent is just pure Alabama. But listen
(15:15):
to what Jim Folsom says in his ad. If you've
never heard this before, this is my favorite political commercial
of all time. Eleven seconds.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
I have two great kids, three dogs, and four shotguns.
I go to church every Sunday and never have played
tennis at the Mountain Brook Club.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'd rather be hunting. Now. The guy you know at
the time, he's talking about how he'd rather be hunting,
doesn't want to play tennis with the people at the
country club. No, he's got the money. At that point,
I think I read some news item about how folsome
and some friend of his or relative of his, they
made it a point to attend every World Series or something.
(15:55):
There's lots lots of cash. He'd still rather be hunting.
Love this. He did the countdown. How many two kids,
three dogs and four shotguns? What is it?
Speaker 7 (16:06):
I have two great kids, three dogs and four shotguns.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Two kids, three dogs, four shotguns. It's just perfect. And
so his accent you hear a Southern accent.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
I have two great kids.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And then listen to the music in the background. So
this is what political people think Alabamians are listening to.
We're all getting off our tractors, and before we go
in and take a shower, we're gonna sit on a
stump and listen to this music.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
I have two great kids, three dogs, and four shotguns.
I go to church every Sunday and never have played
tennis at the Mountain Brook Club. I'd rather be.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Honey, I'd rather go to church. All right, Well, now
I've got a caller, but I'm almost on the break.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Hello caller, Hey, okay, Henry Governor Hunt. I thought very
comfortable in the crowd. I got to hear him preach,
you know, he was a primitive Baptist preacher. I took
my grandparents to hear him speak years ago, and I
thought he did an excellent job and was quite quite
at home behind the pool pit. And I always like
(17:16):
him as a governor too. And miss miss Benzel was
always a great supporter of AGG in the in Southwest Alabama.
I remember she always came to our steer shows and
always supported those things. And I always thought a lot
of her for that.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh well, thank you for telling us that, are you too,
Thank you very much for your phone call. Thank you
for telling us that. And no, I never I only
saw Guy Hunt personally at political press conferences, so that
I can I can imagine that would be very different
(17:51):
from standing up and preaching. At least it was for him,
Maybe it didn't for some other people. It says the

Today was a Mobile City Council meeting already shared with
you some of the comments they made about the late
and bed soul. Now, there was a woman that came
to the Mobile City Council meeting to talk about dogs
(19:48):
attacking her cat, And it turns out that the City
of Mobile is looking at changing ordinances about you owning
a dog and what happens if your dog gets loose.
You don't take care of your dog and your dog
harmed someone or a pet or something like that. So
(20:10):
let's listen. I thought you might find this interesting. Here's
a lady who spoke to the Mobile City Council about
roaming wild dogs. Well, I don't know that they're wild.
Somebody owns them, and the person that owns the dogs
is letting them roam. Here is a lady talking about
the horrible thing that happened to her beloved pet cat.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
I'm known much my friends, is the weeper. So I
hope I can get through this at a pricey give
us your full name, Oh Mary Pettit, I'm sorry, good morning.
At approximately seven am on Sunday, November twenty third, my
life changed. I was awakened to the sounds of a
cat screaming and dogs growling and barking. When I ran
(20:56):
out the back door. Oh witness the murder of our
loved cat, Vincent, in our own backyard. This is my cat.
My eighty six year old mother loved this cat. I
say murder because this was the most vicious, violent act
(21:18):
I have ever witnessed. Not a day has gone by
that my mother and I haven't broken down in tears.
We have both been traumatized by this. The worst part
of this tragedy is that it was so easily preventable.
While it was a dog that actually killed our sweet Vincent,
it was his irresponsible owner who allowed it to happen.
(21:42):
This is the dog that killed my cat. These dogs
were known to animal control. They had been called out before.
The owner had been worn before about keeping control of
his animals. They live over a half a mile from
my house and it come that far. The picture of
this dog shows a broken tether. I don't know if
(22:04):
you can see it. It's very obviously two weak for
as size of this size and strength. Our neighbors are
afraid to walk in the neighborhood because of these dogs
and others. It is a constant problem. As sad as
we are to have lost Vincent, I thank god that
it wasn't my grandson who was visiting that was mauled.
(22:28):
The bigger picture is that this isn't just a problem
in my neighborhood. It is a problem all over Mobile.
There must be harsher penalties for irresponsible dog owners. Slaps
on the wrist aren't making them change anything. I didn't
realize that I would be on the agenda today until
a man I don't even know messaged me on Facebook
(22:52):
and told me he will be here on the sixteenth
to tell of his problems with uncontrolled dogs and irresponsible owner.
I hastily put together an online petition yesterday and has
already gotten over one hundred and twenty five signatures and
countless comments and messages about the problems that others are having.
(23:13):
This tells me that something needs to be done. The
communication between the police and animal control needs to be
improved dramatically, and finds and penalties need to be ramped
up to make owners take action. It's up to you
to set the city ordinances to do this. Thank you
(23:33):
for allowing me to speak today. Please follow through this.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, thank you, Yeah, now you will. Now this doesn't
happen all the time, but the city council president agreed
with this lady completely and totally.
Speaker 10 (23:50):
Thank you so much for coming down. And I do
notice as a city wire problem. I think about a
month ago I contacted Miss Kisha Brown. I had a
resident in my district cutting some grass and got bidden
by dogs several times. And if it was a kid,
the kid would have died.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
By the way, Lanyap has written this up lanyapmobile dot com.
They say the CJ Small there was a man cutting
grass in his district that was attacked by two dogs. Well,
I was out cutting grass and the guy had to
go to the hospital. He was injured enough that he
had to go off to the hospital because of these
these dogs just roaming free attacking him.
Speaker 10 (24:34):
I mean, I know we have utum control here to
speak on his behalf, but I mean, if it's anything
that this council can do to even try to strengthen
the fines or something, because again I do know that
this issue is a broad issue throughout you know, the
city and everything, but life for someone from the administration
possible to address, you know, this concern is something that
(24:57):
we're working on, or to steeping fines or what you know.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Right, So, here is Robert Bryant with Animal Services, the
Animal Services Department talking about what the city is looking
at doing right now.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
We are currently working with the legal team to redraft
some of our ordinances. That is something that is in progress,
and penalties are one of the things we're looking at
to address that. And specifically reference to the incident that
what happened in your district that actually brought us some
changes that we're looking at implementing in the vicious Dog
ordinance itself. So we definitely are currently looking at improvements
(25:32):
to the ordinances and hopefully we'll be able to bring
that to you in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
All right, So they're looking at strengthening the ordinances involving
vicious dogs in the City of Mobile. So if you,
I don't know if any vicious dog owner is listening,
but the folks that do allow their dogs to just
run around in the neighborhood and cause this kind of havoc,
(25:56):
it sounds like there's political will to do something about it.
I wouldn't be surprised. In fact, now this is on
the local level, I wouldn't be surprised if sometime in
the next year or two there wasn't some state wide
on this. And the reason I say that is that
I pay attention to some of the local news up
in Birmingham and Montgomery, just looking for fun things to
(26:17):
talk about here on the Uncle Henry show. In up
near Birmingham, they have had I think they've had a
few fatal dog attacks this year. Now double check me
on that, check me for accuracy on that. But I believe,
I believe there have been people killed by dogs up
(26:38):
around Birmingham. I think they found they found just somebody,
They found human remains out in the field and determined
that it was dogs that that that killed the person.
So this is this is not just a local thing.
There are other communities that are that are dealing with this,
(26:59):
including up in the Birmingham Bessemer area, with just dogs
bad enough that people are not just going to the
hospital from dog bites, they're being killed. So don't be
surprised if there's some statewide on the And I don't
know how municipalities would feel about a state wide law
on this. They some councils around the state might like
(27:24):
it take on off their plate. Because people get so
passionate about any kind of animal, any kind of rule
about an animal. People get so passionate about it, so
just keep that in mind. That may be down that
coming down, the coming down the pike in the next
few years on the state level. Anyway, There's even more
(27:45):
from the council meeting that I can share with you.
All that and more coming up as The Uncle Henry
Show continues here on news Radio seven to ten WNTM.
A reminder, you can listen to previous episodes of The
Uncle Henry Show as podcasts and find The Uncle Henry
Show on the iHeartRadio app or at NewsRadio seventy ten
(28:09):
dot com. This is the Uncle Henry Show. It's five
fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes before we
(28:32):
get to some more Uncle Henry Show. Let me go
to the phone.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Sollo Color, Hey O Henry, how you doing, Snake.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Traverer, Snake traveler, you are live on the radio.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Hey on go Henry. I was listening to you talking
about the dog attacks on people. Yes, me, as a
fifteen year old boy, I was attacked by a large
German shepherd actually snatched off of my bicycle. And Uncle Henry,
if a person is attacked by a dog, the thing
(29:06):
to do is to fight back. Now that dog only
has one weapon on Henry, and it is its mouth.
And once you get control of that mouth, I mean
you pretty much will have the dog whip. Now, this
dog grabbed me by the side and snatched me off
of the bicycle, and then when I throwed mom around,
it grabbed my arm. Well, shoot, that left me with
(29:28):
everything else free, Uncle Henry. And I grabbed that dog
by the throat with my free hand, and I stomped
him on his foot. A dog's foot is very sensitive,
Uncle Henry. A person can grab a dog by the
foot with just their hands and apply enough pressure, well,
you'll break that dog's will to fight. But the people
(29:50):
that the dog are kills or mains up pretty bad.
It's because they were trying to protect theirself and trying
to get away. But I would encourage anybody out they
were ever attacked by a dog, fight back, and fight
back viciously, and you will break that dog's will to find.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
On you, Hey, snake trapper. I mentioned in the last
segment that there have been a bunch of dog deaths
up near Birmingham this year. I just looked online allegedly,
and I say that because it's on the internet. Who
knows who made this up? But there have been four
(30:28):
dog attack fatalities in Alabama this year. Four people have
died in Alabama this year from dog attacks. Eighteen Alabamians
have died from dog attacks since twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Well, you know, it was probably about three years ago.
My mother in law, returning to her house from a trip,
was attacked by a bulldog and had my wife not
been there with her, the dog would have killed her.
And she pretty much blowed the horn and you know,
scaring the dog. And then my son in law lived
(31:03):
in the same neighborhood, so he got there quick and
the dog was running around in the yard. It was
actually two of them, but one of them was the aggressor,
and many they just about ripped her foot off. Uh
you know, like I said in then time I got there,
I mean, it was a big ruckus and I wind
up actually shooting that dog in my mother in law's yard.
(31:26):
The dog was not trying to attack the people trying
to fend it off for some reason that it's mindset
on hear. And like I said, man, she's got a
nasty scar on her leg where it grabbed her by leg,
and I mean it gashed her bad. But yeah, I
just tell everybody out there. If you're if you're ever
attacked by you, you got to fight back. If you don't,
(31:49):
that dog hands the upper hand.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
All right, hey, snake trapper, thank you for that.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
Appreciate that, yes, sir, and you have a good day
of my bus you too.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
There he goes snake trapper. Now, and I'm looking at
a list here of people that have been killed by
dogs in Alabama this year allegen, And I say allegedly,
because it's the internet. You never know. A forty six
year old woman killed by a pack of dogs. Forty
(32:21):
that was in February. Forty six year old woman. A
seventy eight year old woman later in the month of
February killed by a couple of dogs. These are now
a lot of times victims are children, of course, not
always though, forty six year old woman, seventy eight year
old woman. There was a fifty year old woman in
(32:41):
Bessemer that was attacked by and killed by pack of dogs.
So anyway, that's why I said, don't be surprised if
there might be some type of state ordinance on this.
Maybe not in the next session, but eventually, let's see.
Before I'm out of time. Also, I got a voicemail
(33:02):
this hour. We were talking earlier about past elections. I
played some Jim Folsom Junior stuff and all that. We
were talking about Guy Hunt and all that's that. Here's
a voicemail about past elections.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
Hey, Uncle Henry, this is art. Hey, I enjoyed Let
talk about the past elections and everything, you know, Jim
polsm Guy Hunt. But anyway, uh, that particular election in
the nineties, I voted for Don Siegelman, and that is
(33:38):
the last time I've ever voted for a Democrat, the
last time, and I've never voted for a Democrat ever since. Anyway,
Thank you, good memories, roll tied, roll.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Roll roll. Thank you very much. RT. I appreciate that voicemail.
The voice MAE number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. Don Siegelman was your last Democrat that
you voted for. RT. He's still around. You could maybe
(34:17):
send him a Christmas card and let him know never again.
All right, there's more to come. Uncle Henry Show continues
after the news break here on news Radio seventy ten.
(34:56):
That says, The Uncle Henry Show here on news radio
Set ten WNTM. Now, in this half hour of show,
I'm going to go over some voicemail that has been
phoned in by Uncle Henry Show listener and also get
to some news items that I missed. All of that
is the plan for the next half hour here on
(35:19):
the Uncle Henry Show. Now, as revealed on yesterday's show,
longtime caller Buford went and watch the Iron Bowl with
his brother in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His brother is a
(35:39):
doctor that has moved to Baton Rouge with his family
and raised his family as LSU people. And I've got
a it's too bad Buford's not in studio because I've
got a lot of questions about what that would mean
to have your family to have something like this happen
when you're an ordinary family and then one of your brothers, ors,
(36:00):
or love, any of your blood relatives goes off and
becomes indoctrinated in something like LSU. But I don't I
don't have Beaufford here, So right now we're gonna hear
a little bit about this. Here's a message from Beauford
about going to Baton Rouge with his Alabama crimson Tide
family visiting his brother who has transformed into the LSU fan, Henry.
Speaker 13 (36:28):
This weekend we went up to the Baton Rouge see
my little brother, the doctor Henry. He married the LSU
girl and native Louisianian. Unfortunately he did not properly influence
his own still dream and they grew up rapid LSU fans.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Anyway, Henry, they.
Speaker 13 (36:52):
Had to show us the LSU tiger up here across
from the stadium.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
All right now, pausing there just to say so, they
know you're Alabama fans, but they still made you go
look at the l s U Tiger.
Speaker 8 (37:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Is this is this hazing? Is this indoctrination? Is this
some type of what is the psychology behind this? Is
this to put you mentally in your place? Is your visiting?
What is this about? You know, I've I've got family
members that are not Alabama fans, but I don't I
don't make them bow down to an elephant figure or anything.
(37:31):
They don't come over to my house. I don't make them,
you know, kneel in front of a Bear Bryant portrait
or anything like that before we can talk. What is it?
What is this going and looking at the tiger. What
was that? What was going on there?
Speaker 13 (37:44):
Sure up here across from the stadium. First off, you
said Junior was trying to come over with some kind
of scheme to throw poison meat at it. Like, no, son,
you don't want to get locked up in a third world.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Losey enter jail.
Speaker 13 (38:01):
But Henry, they then forced us to go into the
gift shop, and as a test of you for children,
I looked at him and told him I will buy
you anything in this store. Anything. At the same time,
all three of them says, no, there is nothing we
want in here. You for Junior then told me that
(38:24):
it was blasphemous to even offer, and also stated that
he wouldn't the world would Uncle Henry thinks, and what
would he do if he knew you were in here.
I'd like to thank you for helping me raise my
chill dream to be rapid Alabama fans.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
And I'm sorry interrupt, but I just I appreciate the
difficulty that you just went through going into this gift shop.
You know, I tried to put myself in your shoes
as you were telling this tale here still a little
bit more of it. I tried to imagine how I
would feel if I were standing in some type of
(39:07):
LSU gift shop, and it would be I think I
would feel as if my clothing were on fire. Ye, no,
I would. I wouldn't take my clothes off, but it
would be a feeling like I've got to leave because
I'm on fire. I would think I would want to
run out of there and then roll around on the
ground outside as if I were on fire. So that's anyway, Beuford,
(39:32):
hats off to you for being able to stand in
there and test your family in such a just an
awful atmosphere.
Speaker 13 (39:40):
Henry's thinks, and what would he do if he knew
you were in here. I'd like to thank you for
helping me raise my chilled drain to be rapid Alabama fans.
It was under your tutelage of your radio program that
I have had them listened to forcibly just the day
they were born, that as they were in the belly
(40:01):
of the beast, Henry, they performed swimmingly. And yes, Henry,
they've been to Auburn as well, and uh, they actually
the exist. Actually, I don't think I could get Houster
Junior in that town again. He fled out. He told
me he'd get out in the car and walk home.
Speaker 8 (40:19):
If I tried to bring him to Auburn again.
Speaker 13 (40:21):
Anyway, Henry just thought i'd let you know you have
a good day, all right.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Well, thank you very much, Befford, thank you for telling
me about that voicemail number 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 its listeners. Now, let's see, I do
have a couple of more messages. I've got a message
from Beauford. Yes again. Uh, the beginning of the fourth
(40:50):
quarter of the Iron Bowl. So he watched the Iron
Bowl with LSU fans.
Speaker 13 (40:57):
Man of this here, Zefford, beginning of the four up
to the Auburn looks like they're gonna tie it up.
I tell you what, man, I don't I don't like
it at all.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
Man.
Speaker 13 (41:08):
My little brother's gonna to go out and get more Dakeries.
To know, imb all this don since.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
His brother is gonna have to go at and get
more dakeries, is that? Now? I thought? See, I used
to live across the street from an LSU fan. This
was back right after Katrina a couple of years after Katrina,
and I remember that LSU fan. He was a nice man,
nice neighbor. But that guy drank more beer. I've never
(41:37):
seen any human being consume as much beer. And he
never ever appeared like he was inebriated. He never no,
he never showed a sign of being anebreated, but always
had a beer in his hand. And when it came
time for them to pick up the garbage in the neighborhood,
he would have the biggest, like a pyramid of beer.
(42:00):
It was like cases and cases of beer out there,
beer empties and stuff that would go off with the garbage.
So you're saying that some LSU fans drink dakeres and
strat instead of beern sense.
Speaker 13 (42:15):
This is terrible. I'm walking a dagum valley in the
middle of the living room floor, Henry, I'm afraid I
might have Jinstu making my arrogant predictions. I will never
call your voicemail at the beginning of an Alabama Auburn
game again.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
You have a good day, all right, and then real quick,
the Alabama beat Auburn. You may remember this, Alabama beat
Auburn as usual, and Beauford a final call from Beauford
as he witnesses the victory here is well. We pulled it.
Speaker 13 (42:51):
Out, but there were some uncomfortable moments, some very uncomfortable moments.
But I'll never call your show again the beginning of
the Iron Bowl. I'm afraid I almost genistus and yeh,
superstition has a place in college football.
Speaker 8 (43:09):
You have a good day.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Thank you very much for your your tales of being
with LSU fans, blood relative LSU fans during the Iron Bowl.
Now I've got to take a time out. When we
come back, I'm gonna get into some news items that
I missed. Let's go ahead and take the dad Gum break.
Take the break. This sas the Uncle Henry Show. News
(43:53):
headlines coming up in ten minutes. Before we get to
them news headlines, we got a few news items that
I missed. I thought you might want to hear them.
First story is a local story. This is from Daulphin Island.
You may remember all of the controversy over foxes and
turtles and all these different animals on Dlphin Island. Some
(44:20):
people wanted to protect the foxes, other people wanted to
get rid of the foxes. Well, Dolphin Island is considering
fines and jail time jail time for feeding wildlife on
Dolphin Island. Here is the story. This is from Fox ten.
Let's listen together to what Fox ten w Ala is
(44:44):
reporting on this Dolphin Island thing. I believe this is
from Maybe it was from a council meeting yesterday. I
don't know. Let's find out together.
Speaker 14 (44:53):
An island is moving forward with a controversial ordinance that
would ban feeding any wild animals across the entire island. Tonight,
people for and against the idea were not shy about
speaking out.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
I got a classic car climbing all over it. It's
just ridiculous with these cats, it is ridiculous.
Speaker 14 (45:12):
A bit of discussion on Daulphin Island about a proposed ordinance.
Under it, anyone caught feeding wild animals anywhere on the
island could face a five hundred dollars fine or up
to six months in jail.
Speaker 15 (45:23):
Nobody wants wants Dolphin on be known for what's happening
and what might potentially happen, And as being a past.
Speaker 7 (45:31):
Resident here for thirty years or so.
Speaker 15 (45:34):
Of your childhood, I'd hate to see that happen.
Speaker 14 (45:37):
No one shying away from voicing their opinions at this
public hearing. Some people raising concern about the breath of
the band that applies to foxes, seagulls, and feral cats.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
But the purpose of this ordinance is not it apply
all sort of feral cats. Now you're going to get
the feral cat people. Let me just say this. I
don't know all the facts involved here, but I do
know that you've you need to respect the people that
are that are advocating for feral cats. The feral cat
people have a lot of energy they do just saying
(46:10):
I'm not saying anything. I'm just remarking and letting you
know the Pharaoh be very cautious in opposing the feral
cat people. All right, back to the story.
Speaker 14 (46:20):
That applies to foxes, seagulls and feral cats.
Speaker 15 (46:24):
The purpose of this ordinance is not to punish people
for putting a little extra cat food on their back porch, but.
Speaker 1 (46:31):
That is an Attorney Dauphin Island City attorney.
Speaker 15 (46:35):
Instead to put an enforcement mechanism in place for the
town to be able to educate citizens of the island
and visitors to the island that they should not be
feeding wildlife at all.
Speaker 14 (46:49):
The ordinance would target the entire island, not just the
West End Nature Preserve, where a fox management dispute sparked
a lawsuit that was ultimately dismissed. It led to this proposal, though,
which supporters say is needed.
Speaker 7 (47:04):
There's people that feed the cats across the street from
me that have six to eight and people behind me
that have fifteen to twenty.
Speaker 5 (47:13):
And I cannot keep a.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Car clean fifteen to twenty cats they're feeding.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
I can't keep right.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
See look again, the feral cat people have a lot
of energy. They do garden clean.
Speaker 12 (47:27):
There's cats everywhere.
Speaker 14 (47:30):
Now the ordinance must be read officially before the council
can vote on it. That vote is tentatively scheduled for
December fifteenth, and of course Fox ten News will keep
you updated on the process.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
All right, okay, Well, see this is one of those
when you see a story like this or here. This
is radio, so I'm going to assume you heard it,
or at least felt the vibrations from the speaker vibrating
on you. Stories like this make me glad that I'm
(48:02):
not a city council person anywhere in any community. These
are the kind of things where I don't know what
you the listener think. The life of a city council
person is like in any city, you think about making
big decisions that affect the future of the city. But
(48:26):
oftentimes when you're a city council person, people want to
call you about their garbage can, saying, my garbage can
they left, my garbage can tumped over and all this
kind of stuff. They'll call you about their garbage can.
They'll call you about somebody who's got too many cats.
How would you like to be in the middle of
that dispute where one person has got something like fifteen
(48:47):
cats and they're walking all over somebody else's car or
in their garden. Just it's a no win for the politician.
It's a no win for the council person, no matter
which way it goes. Anyway thinke it. Remember this if
you ever think about running for office, just remember this,
because it's not all glory. It's not all voting on
something and seeing a building get built. It also you
(49:10):
have to deal with things like there's a cat problem,
or there's somebody's feeding a fox and the fox might
eat the turtle eggs or something. All right, look out
of time, I don't have time to get to any
other news it I'm going I had a few lined
up for you. Maybe I can get to them tomorrow.
But meanwhile, if you'd like to listen to previous Uncle
(49:34):
Henry shows, if you'd like to listen to interviews with
Killer Bees or me talking to the Sheriff for Mobile County,
Paul Birch, or any of the any of the shows
that I've done over the last several months, all of
those are available as podcasts. You can find the Uncle
Henry Show podcast at NewsRadio seven to ten dot com,
(49:54):
or you can go onto the iHeartRadio app. Look for
Uncle Henry's Show on the Heart Radio app and you'll
find the show there. And when you do find the
show there, you can set a preset in the app
for it so it'll pop up for you every time
there's a new episode. All right, thank you so much
for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. As they say
(50:14):
in sarah Land, have a good one, and as they
say in Theodore, take it easy.
Speaker 6 (50:23):
All right.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
Later,
Weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Your man, what do you.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Want for Christmas? All I want for Christmas is the
city of Mobile to six there regular streets. That's all
I want for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you. I appreciate very much you
listening to the Uncle Henry Show. There are many, many,
thousands and millions and trillions of other things that you
(01:38):
could be listening to right now that would probably be
easier to understand. But here you are with me on
the Uncle Henry Show, and I appreciate that bear very much.
Thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Once again.
Here we are together, me and you, just a two
(01:59):
of it here, trying to figure out what is going on,
what's going on in the world around us. We'll try
to figure some of that stuff out in this particular
hour of Uncle Henry's show. Now, there was a Mobile
City Council meeting today. I will give you coverage of
today's Mobile City Council meeting and also get into some
other stuff in this hour of show. If you'd like
(02:20):
to call the show and bring something forward. Two five, one, four,
seven nine two seven two three. That is the telephonic
number to call two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three to call the Uncle Henry Show
with whatever it is you want to call in with,
and you can call in with just about anything as
long as an eight pornographic or scatological in nature. Now
(02:43):
today mobile city council meeting one of the things. And
by the way, another brief meeting under an hour, so
you local officials. I don't know what it is. I
don't know if it's just everybody's excited that they got
elected and there's some new people on the council and
there's a new mayor, and maybe there's just not the
(03:05):
same appetite for the hot air. I don't know, but
there was still some hot air. Could have been shorter
today if the people elected to office had watched their
mouths and used word economy, the meeting could have been
thirty minutes or less, almost like one of them old
(03:27):
fashioned pizzas that would get delivered. But no, they still
had to go over thirty minutes because when people get elected,
they think people want to hear what they have to
say about this, that and the other. So anyway, there
was still a little extra talking that was unnecessary in
my personal opinion, But still the meeting was I think
the meeting was under forty minutes. So again you're getting
(03:50):
great grades counseling Mayor on keeping these meetings brief. If
you get them even briefer, that'd be fantastic. Now, one
of the things discussed brought up at the meeting was
the passing of a very prominent mobilion and bedsoul, So
I thought you might want to hear what was said
(04:12):
about that. Here is Mobile City Council Vice President Gina
Gregory introducing a moment of silence at the council meeting
on behalf of a bedsoul. Let's listen together.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Well, moment silence, if you would, in your own way,
please remember and in this moment of silence in memory
of political trailblazer Anne Bedsol, who passed away yesterday. She
was ninety five years old. Anne was a longtime resident
here in the city Mobile, and she made history as
(04:51):
the first Republican woman in the Alabama House of Representatives
and the first woman in the Alabama Senate. That's actually
where I first met Anne and started in nineteen ninety
five in the Senate, and I was working in Montgomery
at the time and was able to work with Anne
in her role as a state senator. And also was
(05:14):
known for having run for governor back in the day,
so that was also part of her being a trailblazer
and remembered that way. She also made a run for
mayor some time ago, back in two thousand and five.
But beyond politics, and Bedsol had many many successes here
in the city of Mobile and statewide. She co founded
(05:34):
the Alabama School of Math and Science here at Mobile.
She championed historic preservation here in the city, and she
also spearheaded the city's tri centennial celebration. So Anne's legacy
will be long long remembered. Her husband's family, the Bedsol
Foundation she is known for that as well as the
(05:54):
Sibil Smith Foundation that is in honor of her mother.
So Anne's legacy will live on for very long time.
And I just asked that you will please remember Anne
and her family in this moment of silence.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
All right. So, and Jenni Gregory mentioned the try Centennial
celebration from Mobile that Anne Bedsol did spearhead that I
heard a story about that this was just this was
according to a reporter. So I don't. I was not
a first hand witness to this, so you will have
(06:27):
to take it for what it's worth hearsay. But there's
a local reporter that claimed he well, I'll put it
this way. The local reporter used to get in private
discussions with Anne Bedsoel. The reporter was trying to convince
and Bedsoul that the math was that the mass the
(06:48):
math was wrong on the tri centennial celebration and that
we were celebrating it one year too soon. This was
between This was private between the reporter and a Bedsoel,
and the reporter came back to me at one point
and said that he claimed we were celebrating it a
year early because Anne Bedsoel wanted it that way. Now
(07:12):
I don't, I don't. I'm gonna go along with a
Bedsoel on this. I would think she would know better.
In fact, she she almost made it to one third
of the whole try centennial there. So anyway, uh, one more,
we have a little bit more on An Bedsol. Here
is mobile Mayor Spiro talking about and Bedsol.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I do want to echo some of Councilwoman Gregory's words
about miss Anne Bedsol She was a true trailblazer, you know,
the first woman in the Alabama Senate. Her efforts inspired
many many young women to pursue a career in politics.
She she truly broke open that that arena to many
(07:54):
young women and inspired men and women alike. So please
do keep your thoughts and prayers with her family as
they go through this difficult time. As was mentioned, she
did help fund the Alabama School of mathe and Science
in nineteen eighty nine, which continues to be the number
one high school in all of Alabama. It continues to
(08:16):
bring Alabama's best and brightest right here to Mobile. So
I certainly thank her for that. The title of her
autobiography was leave your Footprint, and I find that very appropriate.
She certainly did that, and that title reflects a life
of service that inspired many many young women and men.
(08:37):
So my thoughts and prayers were with her and her family,
her friends, and all those whose lives she touched. And
I wish her.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Peace, Yes, rest in peace, and bed soul back with more.
Uncle Henry's show After the Break seventy ten timesaver traffic
(09:05):
from the Main Street Flooring and Design Traffic Center. It
says the Uncle Henry Show. It's five twenty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes. Would be like to call
(09:29):
the show two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. That's two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. I've got more from today's Mobile City
Council that I'll share with you before the end of
the hour. But I've got a living caller on the line.
I love talking to the callers.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Hello, caller, good, ain't mean open Henry.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Bert Bert, you are live on the radio.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Uncle Henry. My heart goes out to the family of
Anne Beds. She was the senator from my district for
many years, the district that I lived in. Oh Wow, Okay,
And I think I got to see her. She came
to University of South Alabama when I was a political
science student there, and she spoke, and another state legislator
(10:15):
smoke spoke, and I voted for her many many times.
And I've got a story to tell you about a
time that I voted for her for an office that
she wasn't running for.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
In the late seventies, I was a volunteer for Guy
Hunt's campaign for governor, and I served as a pool
watcher to make sure all the columns, signatures lined up,
all that stuff, Yeah, and handed out handed out literature
for him at the fair, and uh, five James ran
against him and beat him three to one because all
(10:51):
the Alabama Conservatives still considered themselves Democrats in those days.
And so then five James ran what I considered to
be a very crooked administration for many, many reasons. And
I'm not going to into all the details about that.
But then when Guy Hunt was finally elected governor, Lieutenant
(11:12):
Governor Jim Folsom and Attorney General Jimmy Evans launched what
I considered to be a politically motivated prosecution of Hunt,
kind of like what Lutitia James and Alvin Brad did
to Trump in my opinion. Yeah, And so in ninety four,
(11:32):
our options were five James that had beaten Hunt in
that election, and Jim Folsom, who had engineered a coup
to make himself governor. He was the incumbent. And so therefore,
Uncle Henry and that election, I wrote in and bed
(11:54):
Soul to be the governor of Alabama.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Oh you did, I did.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I considered her to be governor material and I always
did and I always will. I think she would have
made a much better governor than Bob James or Siegamun
or probably any of them that we've had in the
last thirty years.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Hey, Burt, I'm just a quick tangent here. Did you
now you worked for on the Guy Hunt campaign or something?
Did you ever spend any time with Guy Hunt?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I did?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
What was he like? Because he came across I saw
him a few times at press conferences, and he just
came across as kind of uncomfortable campaigning. Was there? Am
I wrong about that?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Uncle Henry was. He was a country boy and it
might not have been in his wheelhouse to do with crowds.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I see him as kind of like junior sample, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Really?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, yeah, yeah, he was. He was. He was kind
of like he would have been. He would have been
more at home of d liming on he hall than
than pressing the flesh at political events.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Okay, Well, that now that explains it a little bit
to me, because he just seemed he was the first
Republican governor since reconstruction in Alabama, so he was kind
of an oddity seen a Republican up in that office,
and every time I was around him, he seemed to
be a little uncomfortable, and that kind of explains it.
If he was more comfortable on the farm, that makes
all the sense in the world to me.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That's the impression I got on Okay, But but I
just I just want all your listeners to know that
I was always a fan of Van Bedsol and I
wrote her in for a job that she wasn't even running.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And you were not a fan of Jim Poulsom Junior.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh heck no, Henry never never a fan of his.
All right, Well, and it's not it's not just the
things that he did when he was governor. It's like,
I've never really been a fan of dynasty politics, right,
you know what I mean? If you're married to this
politician or the so his grandson of at a title
(14:02):
get through this office, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I'm up. I get that you.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Gotta prove it to me that you're worthy of this
job beyond just having the right last name.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I agree. I'm with you on Matt, all right, Bert,
and hey, before before Christmas, I'd love it if you
could call one day and play some Christmas music on
your keyboard. If that, if you could ever do that
would love it.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
That's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
All right, Well, Bert, have a wonderful rest of your evening,
you too. All right, there he goes Bert giving us
a little of his personal history, voting for Anne Beds
writing her in or governor of the state of Alabama,
and he mentioned Jim Folsom Junior. Now, I was not
a Falsome fan either, But if you're a longtime listener
of the Uncle Henry Show, you'll know that one of
(14:53):
my favorite political ads of all time. I think it might.
I think it's my favorite political ad of all time,
and it was this Jim Folsom Junior. This is eleven
seconds from it. I love this so much. It's got
everything I love about Alabama politics in it. Just you'll listen.
Of course, the accent is just pure Alabama. But listen
(15:15):
to what Jim Folsom says in his ad. If you've
never heard this before, this is my favorite political commercial
of all time. Eleven seconds.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
I have two great kids, three dogs, and four shotguns.
I go to church every Sunday and never have played
tennis at the Mountain Brook Club.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'd rather be hunting. Now. The guy you know at
the time, he's talking about how he'd rather be hunting,
doesn't want to play tennis with the people at the
country club. No, he's got the money. At that point,
I think I read some news item about how folsome
and some friend of his or relative of his, they
made it a point to attend every World Series or something.
(15:55):
There's lots lots of cash. He'd still rather be hunting.
Love this. He did the countdown. How many two kids,
three dogs and four shotguns? What is it?
Speaker 7 (16:06):
I have two great kids, three dogs and four shotguns.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Two kids, three dogs, four shotguns. It's just perfect. And
so his accent you hear a Southern accent.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
I have two great kids.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And then listen to the music in the background. So
this is what political people think Alabamians are listening to.
We're all getting off our tractors, and before we go
in and take a shower, we're gonna sit on a
stump and listen to this music.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
I have two great kids, three dogs, and four shotguns.
I go to church every Sunday and never have played
tennis at the Mountain Brook Club. I'd rather be.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Honey, I'd rather go to church. All right, Well, now
I've got a caller, but I'm almost on the break.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Hello caller, Hey, okay, Henry Governor Hunt. I thought very
comfortable in the crowd. I got to hear him preach,
you know, he was a primitive Baptist preacher. I took
my grandparents to hear him speak years ago, and I
thought he did an excellent job and was quite quite
at home behind the pool pit. And I always like
(17:16):
him as a governor too. And miss miss Benzel was
always a great supporter of AGG in the in Southwest Alabama.
I remember she always came to our steer shows and
always supported those things. And I always thought a lot
of her for that.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh well, thank you for telling us that, are you too,
Thank you very much for your phone call. Thank you
for telling us that. And no, I never I only
saw Guy Hunt personally at political press conferences, so that
I can I can imagine that would be very different
(17:51):
from standing up and preaching. At least it was for him,
Maybe it didn't for some other people. It says the

Today was a Mobile City Council meeting already shared with
you some of the comments they made about the late
and bed soul. Now, there was a woman that came
to the Mobile City Council meeting to talk about dogs
(19:48):
attacking her cat, And it turns out that the City
of Mobile is looking at changing ordinances about you owning
a dog and what happens if your dog gets loose.
You don't take care of your dog and your dog
harmed someone or a pet or something like that. So
(20:10):
let's listen. I thought you might find this interesting. Here's
a lady who spoke to the Mobile City Council about
roaming wild dogs. Well, I don't know that they're wild.
Somebody owns them, and the person that owns the dogs
is letting them roam. Here is a lady talking about
the horrible thing that happened to her beloved pet cat.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
I'm known much my friends, is the weeper. So I
hope I can get through this at a pricey give
us your full name, Oh Mary Pettit, I'm sorry, good morning.
At approximately seven am on Sunday, November twenty third, my
life changed. I was awakened to the sounds of a
cat screaming and dogs growling and barking. When I ran
(20:56):
out the back door. Oh witness the murder of our
loved cat, Vincent, in our own backyard. This is my cat.
My eighty six year old mother loved this cat. I
say murder because this was the most vicious, violent act
(21:18):
I have ever witnessed. Not a day has gone by
that my mother and I haven't broken down in tears.
We have both been traumatized by this. The worst part
of this tragedy is that it was so easily preventable.
While it was a dog that actually killed our sweet Vincent,
it was his irresponsible owner who allowed it to happen.
(21:42):
This is the dog that killed my cat. These dogs
were known to animal control. They had been called out before.
The owner had been worn before about keeping control of
his animals. They live over a half a mile from
my house and it come that far. The picture of
this dog shows a broken tether. I don't know if
(22:04):
you can see it. It's very obviously two weak for
as size of this size and strength. Our neighbors are
afraid to walk in the neighborhood because of these dogs
and others. It is a constant problem. As sad as
we are to have lost Vincent, I thank god that
it wasn't my grandson who was visiting that was mauled.
(22:28):
The bigger picture is that this isn't just a problem
in my neighborhood. It is a problem all over Mobile.
There must be harsher penalties for irresponsible dog owners. Slaps
on the wrist aren't making them change anything. I didn't
realize that I would be on the agenda today until
a man I don't even know messaged me on Facebook
(22:52):
and told me he will be here on the sixteenth
to tell of his problems with uncontrolled dogs and irresponsible owner.
I hastily put together an online petition yesterday and has
already gotten over one hundred and twenty five signatures and
countless comments and messages about the problems that others are having.
(23:13):
This tells me that something needs to be done. The
communication between the police and animal control needs to be
improved dramatically, and finds and penalties need to be ramped
up to make owners take action. It's up to you
to set the city ordinances to do this. Thank you
(23:33):
for allowing me to speak today. Please follow through this.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, thank you, Yeah, now you will. Now this doesn't
happen all the time, but the city council president agreed
with this lady completely and totally.
Speaker 10 (23:50):
Thank you so much for coming down. And I do
notice as a city wire problem. I think about a
month ago I contacted Miss Kisha Brown. I had a
resident in my district cutting some grass and got bidden
by dogs several times. And if it was a kid,
the kid would have died.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
By the way, Lanyap has written this up lanyapmobile dot com.
They say the CJ Small there was a man cutting
grass in his district that was attacked by two dogs. Well,
I was out cutting grass and the guy had to
go to the hospital. He was injured enough that he
had to go off to the hospital because of these
these dogs just roaming free attacking him.
Speaker 10 (24:34):
I mean, I know we have utum control here to
speak on his behalf, but I mean, if it's anything
that this council can do to even try to strengthen
the fines or something, because again I do know that
this issue is a broad issue throughout you know, the
city and everything, but life for someone from the administration
possible to address, you know, this concern is something that
(24:57):
we're working on, or to steeping fines or what you know.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Right, So, here is Robert Bryant with Animal Services, the
Animal Services Department talking about what the city is looking
at doing right now.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
We are currently working with the legal team to redraft
some of our ordinances. That is something that is in progress,
and penalties are one of the things we're looking at
to address that. And specifically reference to the incident that
what happened in your district that actually brought us some
changes that we're looking at implementing in the vicious Dog
ordinance itself. So we definitely are currently looking at improvements
(25:32):
to the ordinances and hopefully we'll be able to bring
that to you in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
All right, So they're looking at strengthening the ordinances involving
vicious dogs in the City of Mobile. So if you,
I don't know if any vicious dog owner is listening,
but the folks that do allow their dogs to just
run around in the neighborhood and cause this kind of havoc,
(25:56):
it sounds like there's political will to do something about it.
I wouldn't be surprised. In fact, now this is on
the local level, I wouldn't be surprised if sometime in
the next year or two there wasn't some state wide
on this. And the reason I say that is that
I pay attention to some of the local news up
in Birmingham and Montgomery, just looking for fun things to
(26:17):
talk about here on the Uncle Henry show. In up
near Birmingham, they have had I think they've had a
few fatal dog attacks this year. Now double check me
on that, check me for accuracy on that. But I believe,
I believe there have been people killed by dogs up
(26:38):
around Birmingham. I think they found they found just somebody,
They found human remains out in the field and determined
that it was dogs that that that killed the person.
So this is this is not just a local thing.
There are other communities that are that are dealing with this,
(26:59):
including up in the Birmingham Bessemer area, with just dogs
bad enough that people are not just going to the
hospital from dog bites, they're being killed. So don't be
surprised if there's some statewide on the And I don't
know how municipalities would feel about a state wide law
on this. They some councils around the state might like
(27:24):
it take on off their plate. Because people get so
passionate about any kind of animal, any kind of rule
about an animal. People get so passionate about it, so
just keep that in mind. That may be down that
coming down, the coming down the pike in the next
few years on the state level. Anyway, There's even more
(27:45):
from the council meeting that I can share with you.
All that and more coming up as The Uncle Henry
Show continues here on news Radio seven to ten WNTM.
A reminder, you can listen to previous episodes of The
Uncle Henry Show as podcasts and find The Uncle Henry
Show on the iHeartRadio app or at NewsRadio seventy ten
(28:09):
dot com. This is the Uncle Henry Show. It's five
fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes before we
(28:32):
get to some more Uncle Henry Show. Let me go
to the phone.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Sollo Color, Hey O Henry, how you doing, Snake.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Traverer, Snake traveler, you are live on the radio.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Hey on go Henry. I was listening to you talking
about the dog attacks on people. Yes, me, as a
fifteen year old boy, I was attacked by a large
German shepherd actually snatched off of my bicycle. And Uncle Henry,
if a person is attacked by a dog, the thing
(29:06):
to do is to fight back. Now that dog only
has one weapon on Henry, and it is its mouth.
And once you get control of that mouth, I mean
you pretty much will have the dog whip. Now, this
dog grabbed me by the side and snatched me off
of the bicycle, and then when I throwed mom around,
it grabbed my arm. Well, shoot, that left me with
(29:28):
everything else free, Uncle Henry. And I grabbed that dog
by the throat with my free hand, and I stomped
him on his foot. A dog's foot is very sensitive,
Uncle Henry. A person can grab a dog by the
foot with just their hands and apply enough pressure, well,
you'll break that dog's will to fight. But the people
(29:50):
that the dog are kills or mains up pretty bad.
It's because they were trying to protect theirself and trying
to get away. But I would encourage anybody out they
were ever attacked by a dog, fight back, and fight
back viciously, and you will break that dog's will to find.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
On you, Hey, snake trapper. I mentioned in the last
segment that there have been a bunch of dog deaths
up near Birmingham this year. I just looked online allegedly,
and I say that because it's on the internet. Who
knows who made this up? But there have been four
(30:28):
dog attack fatalities in Alabama this year. Four people have
died in Alabama this year from dog attacks. Eighteen Alabamians
have died from dog attacks since twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Well, you know, it was probably about three years ago.
My mother in law, returning to her house from a trip,
was attacked by a bulldog and had my wife not
been there with her, the dog would have killed her.
And she pretty much blowed the horn and you know,
scaring the dog. And then my son in law lived
(31:03):
in the same neighborhood, so he got there quick and
the dog was running around in the yard. It was
actually two of them, but one of them was the aggressor,
and many they just about ripped her foot off. Uh
you know, like I said in then time I got there,
I mean, it was a big ruckus and I wind
up actually shooting that dog in my mother in law's yard.
(31:26):
The dog was not trying to attack the people trying
to fend it off for some reason that it's mindset
on hear. And like I said, man, she's got a
nasty scar on her leg where it grabbed her by leg,
and I mean it gashed her bad. But yeah, I
just tell everybody out there. If you're if you're ever
attacked by you, you got to fight back. If you don't,
(31:49):
that dog hands the upper hand.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
All right, hey, snake trapper, thank you for that.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
Appreciate that, yes, sir, and you have a good day
of my bus you too.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
There he goes snake trapper. Now, and I'm looking at
a list here of people that have been killed by
dogs in Alabama this year allegen, And I say allegedly,
because it's the internet. You never know. A forty six
year old woman killed by a pack of dogs. Forty
(32:21):
that was in February. Forty six year old woman. A
seventy eight year old woman later in the month of
February killed by a couple of dogs. These are now
a lot of times victims are children, of course, not
always though, forty six year old woman, seventy eight year
old woman. There was a fifty year old woman in
(32:41):
Bessemer that was attacked by and killed by pack of dogs.
So anyway, that's why I said, don't be surprised if
there might be some type of state ordinance on this.
Maybe not in the next session, but eventually, let's see.
Before I'm out of time. Also, I got a voicemail
(33:02):
this hour. We were talking earlier about past elections. I
played some Jim Folsom Junior stuff and all that. We
were talking about Guy Hunt and all that's that. Here's
a voicemail about past elections.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
Hey, Uncle Henry, this is art. Hey, I enjoyed Let
talk about the past elections and everything, you know, Jim
polsm Guy Hunt. But anyway, uh, that particular election in
the nineties, I voted for Don Siegelman, and that is
(33:38):
the last time I've ever voted for a Democrat, the
last time, and I've never voted for a Democrat ever since. Anyway,
Thank you, good memories, roll tied, roll.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Roll roll. Thank you very much. RT. I appreciate that voicemail.
The voice MAE number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. Don Siegelman was your last Democrat that
you voted for. RT. He's still around. You could maybe
(34:17):
send him a Christmas card and let him know never again.
All right, there's more to come. Uncle Henry Show continues
after the news break here on news Radio seventy ten.
(34:56):
That says, The Uncle Henry Show here on news radio
Set ten WNTM. Now, in this half hour of show,
I'm going to go over some voicemail that has been
phoned in by Uncle Henry Show listener and also get
to some news items that I missed. All of that
is the plan for the next half hour here on
(35:19):
the Uncle Henry Show. Now, as revealed on yesterday's show,
longtime caller Buford went and watch the Iron Bowl with
his brother in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His brother is a
(35:39):
doctor that has moved to Baton Rouge with his family
and raised his family as LSU people. And I've got
a it's too bad Buford's not in studio because I've
got a lot of questions about what that would mean
to have your family to have something like this happen
when you're an ordinary family and then one of your brothers, ors,
(36:00):
or love, any of your blood relatives goes off and
becomes indoctrinated in something like LSU. But I don't I
don't have Beaufford here, So right now we're gonna hear
a little bit about this. Here's a message from Beauford
about going to Baton Rouge with his Alabama crimson Tide
family visiting his brother who has transformed into the LSU fan, Henry.
Speaker 13 (36:28):
This weekend we went up to the Baton Rouge see
my little brother, the doctor Henry. He married the LSU
girl and native Louisianian. Unfortunately he did not properly influence
his own still dream and they grew up rapid LSU fans.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Anyway, Henry, they.
Speaker 13 (36:52):
Had to show us the LSU tiger up here across
from the stadium.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
All right now, pausing there just to say so, they
know you're Alabama fans, but they still made you go
look at the l s U Tiger.
Speaker 8 (37:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Is this is this hazing? Is this indoctrination? Is this
some type of what is the psychology behind this? Is
this to put you mentally in your place? Is your visiting?
What is this about? You know, I've I've got family
members that are not Alabama fans, but I don't I
don't make them bow down to an elephant figure or anything.
(37:31):
They don't come over to my house. I don't make them,
you know, kneel in front of a Bear Bryant portrait
or anything like that before we can talk. What is it?
What is this going and looking at the tiger. What
was that? What was going on there?
Speaker 13 (37:44):
Sure up here across from the stadium. First off, you
said Junior was trying to come over with some kind
of scheme to throw poison meat at it. Like, no, son,
you don't want to get locked up in a third world.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Losey enter jail.
Speaker 13 (38:01):
But Henry, they then forced us to go into the
gift shop, and as a test of you for children,
I looked at him and told him I will buy
you anything in this store. Anything. At the same time,
all three of them says, no, there is nothing we
want in here. You for Junior then told me that
(38:24):
it was blasphemous to even offer, and also stated that
he wouldn't the world would Uncle Henry thinks, and what
would he do if he knew you were in here.
I'd like to thank you for helping me raise my
chill dream to be rapid Alabama fans.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
And I'm sorry interrupt, but I just I appreciate the
difficulty that you just went through going into this gift shop.
You know, I tried to put myself in your shoes
as you were telling this tale here still a little
bit more of it. I tried to imagine how I
would feel if I were standing in some type of
(39:07):
LSU gift shop, and it would be I think I
would feel as if my clothing were on fire. Ye, no,
I would. I wouldn't take my clothes off, but it
would be a feeling like I've got to leave because
I'm on fire. I would think I would want to
run out of there and then roll around on the
ground outside as if I were on fire. So that's anyway, Beuford,
(39:32):
hats off to you for being able to stand in
there and test your family in such a just an
awful atmosphere.
Speaker 13 (39:40):
Henry's thinks, and what would he do if he knew
you were in here. I'd like to thank you for
helping me raise my chilled drain to be rapid Alabama fans.
It was under your tutelage of your radio program that
I have had them listened to forcibly just the day
they were born, that as they were in the belly
(40:01):
of the beast, Henry, they performed swimmingly. And yes, Henry,
they've been to Auburn as well, and uh, they actually
the exist. Actually, I don't think I could get Houster
Junior in that town again. He fled out. He told
me he'd get out in the car and walk home.
Speaker 8 (40:19):
If I tried to bring him to Auburn again.
Speaker 13 (40:21):
Anyway, Henry just thought i'd let you know you have
a good day, all right.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Well, thank you very much, Befford, thank you for telling
me about that voicemail number 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 its listeners. Now, let's see, I do
have a couple of more messages. I've got a message
from Beauford. Yes again. Uh, the beginning of the fourth
(40:50):
quarter of the Iron Bowl. So he watched the Iron
Bowl with LSU fans.
Speaker 13 (40:57):
Man of this here, Zefford, beginning of the four up
to the Auburn looks like they're gonna tie it up.
I tell you what, man, I don't I don't like
it at all.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
Man.
Speaker 13 (41:08):
My little brother's gonna to go out and get more Dakeries.
To know, imb all this don since.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
His brother is gonna have to go at and get
more dakeries, is that? Now? I thought? See, I used
to live across the street from an LSU fan. This
was back right after Katrina a couple of years after Katrina,
and I remember that LSU fan. He was a nice man,
nice neighbor. But that guy drank more beer. I've never
(41:37):
seen any human being consume as much beer. And he
never ever appeared like he was inebriated. He never no,
he never showed a sign of being anebreated, but always
had a beer in his hand. And when it came
time for them to pick up the garbage in the neighborhood,
he would have the biggest, like a pyramid of beer.
(42:00):
It was like cases and cases of beer out there,
beer empties and stuff that would go off with the garbage.
So you're saying that some LSU fans drink dakeres and
strat instead of beern sense.
Speaker 13 (42:15):
This is terrible. I'm walking a dagum valley in the
middle of the living room floor, Henry, I'm afraid I
might have Jinstu making my arrogant predictions. I will never
call your voicemail at the beginning of an Alabama Auburn
game again.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
You have a good day, all right, and then real quick,
the Alabama beat Auburn. You may remember this, Alabama beat
Auburn as usual, and Beauford a final call from Beauford
as he witnesses the victory here is well. We pulled it.
Speaker 13 (42:51):
Out, but there were some uncomfortable moments, some very uncomfortable moments.
But I'll never call your show again the beginning of
the Iron Bowl. I'm afraid I almost genistus and yeh,
superstition has a place in college football.
Speaker 8 (43:09):
You have a good day.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Thank you very much for your your tales of being
with LSU fans, blood relative LSU fans during the Iron Bowl.
Now I've got to take a time out. When we
come back, I'm gonna get into some news items that
I missed. Let's go ahead and take the dad Gum break.
Take the break. This sas the Uncle Henry Show. News
(43:53):
headlines coming up in ten minutes. Before we get to
them news headlines, we got a few news items that
I missed. I thought you might want to hear them.
First story is a local story. This is from Daulphin Island.
You may remember all of the controversy over foxes and
turtles and all these different animals on Dlphin Island. Some
(44:20):
people wanted to protect the foxes, other people wanted to
get rid of the foxes. Well, Dolphin Island is considering
fines and jail time jail time for feeding wildlife on
Dolphin Island. Here is the story. This is from Fox ten.
Let's listen together to what Fox ten w Ala is
(44:44):
reporting on this Dolphin Island thing. I believe this is
from Maybe it was from a council meeting yesterday. I
don't know. Let's find out together.
Speaker 14 (44:53):
An island is moving forward with a controversial ordinance that
would ban feeding any wild animals across the entire island. Tonight,
people for and against the idea were not shy about
speaking out.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
I got a classic car climbing all over it. It's
just ridiculous with these cats, it is ridiculous.
Speaker 14 (45:12):
A bit of discussion on Daulphin Island about a proposed ordinance.
Under it, anyone caught feeding wild animals anywhere on the
island could face a five hundred dollars fine or up
to six months in jail.
Speaker 15 (45:23):
Nobody wants wants Dolphin on be known for what's happening
and what might potentially happen, And as being a past.
Speaker 7 (45:31):
Resident here for thirty years or so.
Speaker 15 (45:34):
Of your childhood, I'd hate to see that happen.
Speaker 14 (45:37):
No one shying away from voicing their opinions at this
public hearing. Some people raising concern about the breath of
the band that applies to foxes, seagulls, and feral cats.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
But the purpose of this ordinance is not it apply
all sort of feral cats. Now you're going to get
the feral cat people. Let me just say this. I
don't know all the facts involved here, but I do
know that you've you need to respect the people that
are that are advocating for feral cats. The feral cat
people have a lot of energy they do just saying
(46:10):
I'm not saying anything. I'm just remarking and letting you
know the Pharaoh be very cautious in opposing the feral
cat people. All right, back to the story.
Speaker 14 (46:20):
That applies to foxes, seagulls and feral cats.
Speaker 15 (46:24):
The purpose of this ordinance is not to punish people
for putting a little extra cat food on their back porch, but.
Speaker 1 (46:31):
That is an Attorney Dauphin Island City attorney.
Speaker 15 (46:35):
Instead to put an enforcement mechanism in place for the
town to be able to educate citizens of the island
and visitors to the island that they should not be
feeding wildlife at all.
Speaker 14 (46:49):
The ordinance would target the entire island, not just the
West End Nature Preserve, where a fox management dispute sparked
a lawsuit that was ultimately dismissed. It led to this proposal, though,
which supporters say is needed.
Speaker 7 (47:04):
There's people that feed the cats across the street from
me that have six to eight and people behind me
that have fifteen to twenty.
Speaker 5 (47:13):
And I cannot keep a.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Car clean fifteen to twenty cats they're feeding.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
I can't keep right.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
See look again, the feral cat people have a lot
of energy. They do garden clean.
Speaker 12 (47:27):
There's cats everywhere.
Speaker 14 (47:30):
Now the ordinance must be read officially before the council
can vote on it. That vote is tentatively scheduled for
December fifteenth, and of course Fox ten News will keep
you updated on the process.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
All right, okay, Well, see this is one of those
when you see a story like this or here. This
is radio, so I'm going to assume you heard it,
or at least felt the vibrations from the speaker vibrating
on you. Stories like this make me glad that I'm
(48:02):
not a city council person anywhere in any community. These
are the kind of things where I don't know what
you the listener think. The life of a city council
person is like in any city, you think about making
big decisions that affect the future of the city. But
(48:26):
oftentimes when you're a city council person, people want to
call you about their garbage can, saying, my garbage can
they left, my garbage can tumped over and all this
kind of stuff. They'll call you about their garbage can.
They'll call you about somebody who's got too many cats.
How would you like to be in the middle of
that dispute where one person has got something like fifteen
(48:47):
cats and they're walking all over somebody else's car or
in their garden. Just it's a no win for the politician.
It's a no win for the council person, no matter
which way it goes. Anyway thinke it. Remember this if
you ever think about running for office, just remember this,
because it's not all glory. It's not all voting on
something and seeing a building get built. It also you
(49:10):
have to deal with things like there's a cat problem,
or there's somebody's feeding a fox and the fox might
eat the turtle eggs or something. All right, look out
of time, I don't have time to get to any
other news it I'm going I had a few lined
up for you. Maybe I can get to them tomorrow.
But meanwhile, if you'd like to listen to previous Uncle
(49:34):
Henry shows, if you'd like to listen to interviews with
Killer Bees or me talking to the Sheriff for Mobile County,
Paul Birch, or any of the any of the shows
that I've done over the last several months, all of
those are available as podcasts. You can find the Uncle
Henry Show podcast at NewsRadio seven to ten dot com,
(49:54):
or you can go onto the iHeartRadio app. Look for
Uncle Henry's Show on the Heart Radio app and you'll
find the show there. And when you do find the
show there, you can set a preset in the app
for it so it'll pop up for you every time
there's a new episode. All right, thank you so much
for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. As they say
(50:14):
in sarah Land, have a good one, and as they
say in Theodore, take it easy.
Speaker 6 (50:23):
All right.
Speaker 1 (50:24):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
