Speaker 1 (00:00):
Weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
And see, you know what, I don't know who to
us for, and so therefore I'm in the illusion of who.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
To us for, it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seven
ten WNTM. Thank you, thank you so much. I appreciate
very much listening to the Uncle Henry Show, especially if
you're listening on AM radio. God bless you, God bless you.
(01:29):
Here's somebody I need to know. If you love AM radio,
you and I are kindred spirits. Also thank you to
the people listening on the new fangled fancy iHeartRadio apps,
streaming and doing all that streaming junk. And also thank
you to the people looking at me on YouTube. Look
for Uncle Henry Show on YouTube to see boring videos
(01:50):
of an old man standing just at a microphone, struggling. Well,
here we are in the final hours of voting for
these municipal elections. I know you're on the edge of
your seat. You're on the edge of your seat wondering
who is it going to be in Pritchard, Who's going
to be the new mayor of Chickasaw. These things just
(02:10):
might even have you up at night wondering about the
fate of Chickasaw. And of course you've got the mobile
mayor's race. Barbara Drummond versus Spiriture. Goddess, what a this
has been a different mayor's race, hasn't it. This has
been so different, how politicized, how all the national politics do.
For whatever reason, Barbara Drumming decided to bring the national
(02:33):
politics into it. So we got that wrinkle, a new
rankle to mobile mayors races. Now today I knew who
I was going to vote for, and I really did
enjoy the voting experience. I went to my polling place.
I would say the turnout was was good and brisk.
I've voted before eight o'clock in the morning, and there
(02:54):
was a lot of people in and out of the
voting place. One of the easiest votes. This probably was
the easiest vote I've ever had to to cast, because
it was just one, just one thing. Vote for this
one or the other one. You're in, you're out. Nobody
gets hurt if you're lucky. Everybody was so pleasant. I
was thanked for coming by the people there at the
(03:16):
polling place. They thanked me for showing up. They thank
me for voting they were. They were just delightful people
there working the pole workers. I will say a minor
disappointment though at my polling place in that I was younger. No,
(03:38):
I was older than the ladies that checked me in.
I don't know what the process is called. I'll just
call it checking in, since I don't have the vocabulary
for all these things. But normally there's people that look
like they're ninety five years old checking you in, getting
you ready, checking your ID, making sure you can vote,
and getting your your thing. And I've always enjoyed It's
(04:00):
like the one place I wasn't the oldest person was
going to vote, because there's always been some extreme elderly
there many times with all kinds of medical devices attached
to them as they would check me in. Today, that
didn't encounter that. I did not encounter the people with
medical issues ninety eight years old checking me in. These
(04:21):
ladies looked mature a bit younger than me. That was
kind of a disappointment, but everything else was great. This
is I think this is the first time I've voted. Well,
in fact, I know because I just got married back
in April. This is the first time I got to
vote with my wife, and I enjoyed voting with my
(04:43):
wife and then watching her. She I watched her feed
her ballot into the ballot eating machine, because you're familiar
with this. You fill out a little ballot and there's
a machine that eats it. And there was a woman,
a pole worker, I guess you'd call her, standing there
(05:05):
next to the machine, and she was she was looking
at my wife's vote very intensely. The very very she
was staring at that vote is what she could tell,
because hey, there's only one thing on the ballot, pretty
easy to tell who the wife voted for. And the
woman stood there and she just stared. She stared somberly,
(05:30):
intensely and somberly stared as the ballot was fed into
the ballot eating machine. And then she very somber. This
was I don't know if she was who knows. She
might have not liked my wife's vote, or she might
(05:50):
have been she might have been doing her grocery list
in her head. I don't really know. I don't I'm
not a mind reader. But she watched my wife feed
that's just very somber, watching my wife feed that into
the vote eating machine and then slowly handing us our
much beloved eye voted stickers. We love our eye voted stickers.
(06:17):
So just a wonderful experience. Just I almost wished it
had taken a little longer because we were just feeling
we felt part of something bigger, and that part of
something we felt bigger. I think we felt part of
a bigger bureaucratic city community is what we were feeling. Well,
(06:39):
I hope you had a pleasant experience, and I hope
that the people that were helping you weren't as somber
as the ones that helped us. But I hope you
had a good experience. And now we'll all have to
wait and find out who won the vote. And I
have no clue. You're more you're you're probably more well
(07:00):
connected than I am. But I've talked to a lot
of people today, and all the people I've talked to
don't have a clue. So apparently I'm all me and
my circle of friends. We're not high up on the ladder.
Maybe people higher on the ladder of society have already
got it figured out and they know how it's going
to go, and they'll probably enjoying a cigar and a
cocktail or something right now. But I'm at the I'm
(07:21):
a lower level person, so we're just we're all still waiting.
We don't know how this is going to end and
where it goes, so we're all kind of waiting to
see who wins. Two five to one four seven nine,
two seven two three the telephone number. If you'd like
to jump in here and talk about your experience as
you went to vote. Maybe you didn't vote because you couldn't.
Maybe you're not qualified to vote because you don't live
(07:45):
in the City of Mobile. I know your opinion is
probably stronger than mine. I don't care if you live
here or not. You can call in and tell me
what you think. Two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three. That's two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. Address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
dot com. I'll tell you this my one big disappointment
(08:07):
in the mayor's race. That is that I could not
get Barbara Drummond to come on the Uncle Henry Show. Now,
her press person emailed me right right after they made
it into the runoff and said they would like to
make it happen, and it never did, just never did.
(08:30):
I've been here and if you've listened to me any
length of time. You know, I don't do tough gotcha interviews.
It would have been very respectful, but I never got
a chance to talk to her, and I'm disappointed in that.
(08:52):
I would have enjoyed finding out some things. All right,
back with more, Uncle Henry Show continues after the break
here on news radio seven ten. This says the Uncle
(09:17):
Henry Show. Here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. It
is five twenty. We have news headlines coming up in
ten minutes. Telephone number two five one four seven nine
two seven two three, and I got a couple of
callers waiting to talk. Let me grab these phone calls
(09:38):
real quick here, Hello caller.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Hey there, hey there, Oh, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
And you're talking about the fact that Barbara Grumman has
dropped so many names as you've got people endorsing her right,
and we don't understand why. Yeah, my grandmother used to
tell me, is not what you know is do you
know when it's a time when you need some help.
Maybe she thinks that by getting all these people that
she's letting let mobile know that we got in trouble,
(10:08):
she knows big people that.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Come help us.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
What do you think, all right, so this is this
is so if Mobile needs help, then she can pick
up her fone, she can call Kamala Harris, and Kamala
Harris will help us in whatever trouble we have.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
We have a hurricane, or we have certain say happens
down here, we need federal help. She's thinking, maybe she's
telling people that she's got contacts that will help us out.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
All right, Well, what do you think. Well, I don't
know if that that wouldn't work for the next three years,
for example, I mean she's uh, she's she's currently getting
a lot of help from people like Kamala Harris, who's
not in power, like the mayor of Birmingham. I don't know.
(10:54):
I mean, that doesn't make me think that. Maybe it
makes you and others think that, But I wouldn't ever
have thought that, Oh good, she knows Corey Booker. Maybe
Corey Booker can help me if there's a hurricane.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
I don't think she's thinking. I don't say that. What
she did is who she knows is what we need
to know. But I do think knowing people helps us
out in the long run.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well, that's true, Knowing people helps you out in the
wrong long.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Run the people she knows.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, I don't know about people she knows, but I
know that we've got a mayor that knows the folks,
has got a little higher up. We might have a
little leg up on some stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
All right, Well, well I don't know. Maybe that's the strategy.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
I hope. So I appreciate those Henderson, thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I appreciate you listening and calling. Now, so you've got
that side of it. Oh, she's got the endorsement of
Senator Corey Booker and the mayor of Birmingham and Kamala
Harris another terrible awful Democrat politicians. On one hand, maybe
(12:05):
they can help us if there's ever a hurricane. We
can get Corey Booker to help us get funding or
something like that, one of these horrible Democrats. The other
flip side of that, though, is bringing in these national
politicians into a local election and firing up some voters
that never might not have cared. Some people might not
(12:27):
have cared, and then they find out what Cory Booker
he booted Judge Kamala Harris. Maybe I need to get
up and go vote vote for Spiro. It can go
both ways there, it can go both ways. Hello caller, Cliff, Cliff,
(12:50):
you are live on the radio.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yes, my folks told you a long time ago to
be well. People coming to tell you how bad other
people are.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
If she would have said that, I didn't go along
with spending billions of dollars on illegal immigrants and and
gang members. I didn't go along with that. If she
would say something about how bad the Democrat Party is
(13:25):
in study parting thing at somebody else, I would have
voted for her. But she never They never mentioned how
evil and bad that these people. They spend billions of dollars.
They're still paying protesters out here now, Gaze for Palestine,
all this kind of stuff they want people to hurt,
(13:46):
the Ice Ice, the Ice police, and all this stuff
they study paying money. But they won't say, well, I
wasn't a part of that. I need to apologize for
spending billions of dollars and not giving you black people
in it. But if you trust me this time, I
might do it. They ain't even got the boss to
do that up in.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well. And so now we all well, we'll all know
here in a few hours if it worked or not.
It might have worked out for.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I doubt that my Mamma say she ain't raised no
food if you if you turn into one, you got
that way on your own. And she also said that
a fool don't a food, don't live long. But you
have some exceptions to that rule. Also, Okay, you know
(14:38):
things like this up in how are you going to
let some white people tell you how bad all other
white people are? They're white, you might want to check
them out, you know, just common sense stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Well common sense. We are in a short supply of
it these days. Have you noticed they they thank me
so bad?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Uncle Henry to I'd like to try laughing so hard
when one of them honorable people they're supposed to be honorable,
and senators and congressman, when one of them will tell
you we need to try to go to the sun
at night because it's cooler at night. Stuff like that
(15:23):
ought to get you to think that these people evidently
don't care about you or you the lie to you.
You have blith hell again.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Thank you, Cliff, you have blessed my day with your
phone call two five one four seven nine two three
the telephone number here on the Unclembery Show. We have
news headlines coming up in just a few minutes. From
Fox ten and from Fox Radio National News. Let's see
last night, right before midnight, right before midnight, I got

longtime caller Buford.

And.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
Well, tomorrow is election day further mayor runoffs. Well, if
you're one of the morons that don't know who you
want to vote for yet, I've never understood that.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Look at it like this.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
Do you want Mobile to continue to progress the way
we are progressing, bringing in more jobs and such, then
vote SpeI rous Kara Gottis. Now if you want Mobil
to make a huge left turn and go down the
road that will lead us more like Richard, you know,
(16:37):
have unreliable utenities, have our infrastructure to fall apart, Then
a vote Barbara Drummond, if you are a liberal Democrat,
just stay home and go to the polls on Wednesday.
But whoever you vote for, and the words in my
(16:58):
great grandpapa, who has fixed many of MOBIL election in
the early nineteen hundreds, He's always say vote early, vote often. Anyway, Henry,
you have a good day.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Befford, thank you very much for your voicemail. Bufford's great
grandfather was a politician locally or was connected with politicians locally,
and I think it was earlier this year. It was
either late last year or earlier this year. I got
Beauford to tell us some stories, the stories of his
(17:34):
great grandfather actually stuffing ballot boxes back in Mobile. I
got one hundred years ago, Beufford. Thank you again for

Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Uh, we've
talked in the first half hour of the show about
the mayoral race. There's still time, a little less than
ninety minutes to cast your ballot. Whether you're voting in
(19:20):
Mobile or Spiro or Barbara, or in Pritchard, or in Chickasaw, Alabama,
or on Robertsdale, any of the communities with runoffs. There's
still time to get to the polls. And I'm sure
your experience will be a lot like mine. It'll be
in and out real quick because there's not a lot
on that ballot. Again two five one four seven nine
(19:43):
two seven two three the telephone number. Let's see. I
got a voicemail about mobile politics from the retired Mad Trucker.
He phoned this in yesterday, and if if I remember correctly,
I believe ld did move. I think he moved to
Mobile a couple of years ago. I think he's eligible
(20:06):
to vote. I think he voted today. So anyway, here
is the retired mad Trucker with a comment about Mobile
mayors and mobile politics.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
Hey, uncle Henry ld Well, is the outgoing mayor leaves
us just like Mike dal with a ton of debt,
train station we don't need. He's gonna leave us with
a hockey team that we won't attend and.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Who knows what helps on the way out the door?
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Spin, spin, spin, typical of.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
The mobile politician.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
But here's the thing, Uncle Henry. Do you remember and
I don't know if you do, but do you remember
they dug up the Civic Center floor to put a
loom of the the piping in to make the ice
rink freezing all that?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Do you remember? I don't, By the way, do not
remember that? But I was not paying real close attention
to all of that. I didn't. I wasn't following Civic
Center renovations at that juncture.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Remember that to tune, I think it was five million dollars,
five million dollars thrown out the window. How fast do
we forget about this?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
So here we are we're going to get another hockey ring,
another five to ten million dollars, and it's going in
the pockets of some local contractors, and we don't know
them because we don't get to eat dinner with them.
But if you did, you'd know who's getting the contracts,
why they're getting the contracts it. You know what, my god,
(21:40):
the citizens of Mobile are the most heavily taxed people
in the state of Alabama, and yet they continue to
put up with this. Well, if I can't do anything
about it, Uncle Henry, can I can I name the team?
Can I just name the team?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Let's I so, LD's gonna name the hockey team for us.
And by the way, there's a lot of people, of course, LD,
you understand this. A lot of people disagree with you.
A lot of people think this is going to be
such a big success. There's now nostalgia built up for hockey.
They're there. They think this is going to be one
of the greatest places to do anything, this new arena,
(22:21):
and that just the hockey is. They're just so excited
about the hockey. But anyway, what would you name the team?
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Call the Mobile Buffoons, because the taxpayers of Mobile are fools.
They're putting up with this garbage over and over and
over and over. The Mobile the hockey team, the Mobile Buffoons.
Sounds good to me, all right, LD.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
The man trucker, the Voiceman number two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six, if you'd like to leave
a message, or you can just call me live two
five to one four seven nine two seventy two three.
But you were talking about the as you said in
your voicemail. You're talking about these the citizens of Mobile
the most heavily taxed, is one of the things you said,
(23:11):
and they continue to put up with this. Now you
realize that some people are clamoring for more spending like this.
There are people, there are some citizens that are clamoring
for more money to be spent on things like that.
A lot of people want Beyfest to come back. They
want this stuff. And I saw something on Facebook this morning.
(23:35):
One of my Facebook friends had posted some financial information
about previous mayors and things they spent money on, and
a former city official wait in to comment.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
This.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
And it wasn't an elected official. It was a former bureaucrat,
somebody that worked in the bureaucracy. And this guy worked
for for Dow and Jones and stayed I think for
a little while under the Stemson administration before he left,
before he retired. This guy used a phrase in his
(24:18):
Facebook comment that I'd never heard before. He was telling
the poster, the person that posted this financial data. This
guy said, the citizens have a right to entertainment. Yeah.
This was a former former bureaucrat that was with the
(24:39):
city and an official capacity under numerous mayors. This guy said,
citizens have a right to entertainment. Now, I'm a citizen
and I don't I don't want that. Look you, you
(25:00):
the citizen. You may love it. You may want the
City of Mobile to invest in music festivals, and maybe
that's the most important.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Thing to you.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
You're willing to put up with horrible roads and bad
drainage if you can have a party and have a
big have a few more parades and a big music festival,
all this kind of stuff. But right to entertainment. You
know this has come up before, when when we held
lots of public hearings in Mobile, when Mayor Stimpson proposed
(25:32):
this idea of knocking down lad Stadium. You remember that
citizens were very angry. Some citizens were very angry at
the idea that somebody would want to knock down lad
Stadium and build something different. And I remember those public hearings.
People work were complaining bitterly that we don't have Bayfest
(25:56):
they were complaining bitterly that we don't have a Christmas
parade anymore, and they were they were saying, these things
have been taken from us, and you never have you
know how bad it floods in some parts of this town.
I don't remember anybody going to a city council meeting
or any public meeting and bitterly complaining about terrible drainage,
(26:22):
or bitterly complaining about the state of roads. There's some neighborhoods,
great houses. I don't know how you sell a house
when when you got a road so torn up in
front of it. And this happens in a lot of
neighborhoods in the mobile, nobody's nobody's complaining about that. But
you got a bureaucrat saying we've got a right to entertainment,
(26:44):
and you have citizens complaining bitterly, almost crying that they
don't have a Christmas parade, almost crying that we don't
have Bayfest anymore. It's a different, different expectations for government
among the young, and I'm not in that camp. It's
(27:04):
nice to have entertainment, but if you can't, if you
don't have good infrastructure, if you don't have an adequate
police department, an adequate fire department, and good infrastructure. I
don't think a city should be doing anything else.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
If you can't handle the basics, what's the point. What's
the point If you can't have the basics, what is
the point of all this? In this official, I don't
want to say his name. I don't want to embarrass him.
But this guy that said citizens have a right to entertainment,
that's a giant load. Uncle Henry Show News Radio seven

the next mayor of Mobile. Uh a lot. There's going
to be a release of energy, I'm sure with a
lot of people. Uh, well, you know how these things go.
Some people are going to feel good and some people aren't.
(29:35):
Medical research claims that, just like in sports, that your
testosterone level can be affected when you are very attached
to a candidate or a sports team. They claim they've
(29:57):
proved this, so they're claiming that if your candidate wins,
you're going to have a boost in your tea level
temporarily and you're going to feel good. And conversely, if
your candidate loses, the medical researchers claim that you're going
to have a little dip in the tea level for
a day or two and you're not going to feel
(30:17):
as good. So it's it's gonna be. There will be
health consequences to this as well, Yes, health consequences for
some of us. Some of us have to for whatever
reasons have to jealously guard our tea level and make
sure that it's where it needs to be. And this
has also been They say the same thing about sports.
(30:41):
If you're really in to a team and they win,
it can be good for your health. And if you're
really into a team and they lose, it can be
really bad for your health. Two five to one or

or does anybody? And somebody tell me I'm wrong. Those
voting machine machines were delivered Thursday and Friday of last
week to area schools and churches, and they've been sitting
there un guarded. They've been sitting there with no security
(31:30):
for two or three days.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
That is something I've not thought about.
Speaker 10 (31:36):
Yeah, I don't like it.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
I don't like it.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
I have personal knowledge of this, and I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And then he hung up. You you know, LD. You
know as many terrible things as LD has said on
the program, him hanging up on hisself, what a great thing. Well,
I love it. I love it. It just saves me
because I don't like hanging up on callers, even when
I should hang up on them. You can tell I
(32:02):
just don't like hanging up on them. Thank you LD
for hanging up on yourself. And I would like to think,
I would like to think. I hope we don't have
anything to worry about in regards to things like that
going on for municipal elections and mobile But let's all
hope together that there's been no trickery or shenanigans and
(32:27):
it's just your basics showing up and voting and see
who gets the most votes. Well, just about out of
time for this hour of Uncle Henry's Show. After the
results come in, I hope you'll join me tomorrow on

just email me and we'll pick it up tomorrow with
(33:10):
that email email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now, in the
next half hour of show, probably going to talk about
the election a little bit more. I've a I've got
a voicemail that i want to share that I've been
(33:31):
holding back about simple pleasures in life. I want to
get to that. And also I'm going to talk to
a lady with a local charitable effort called Be the
Change Gulf Coast. Be the Change Golf Coast is having
a fundraiser this coming Monday, and we're going to talk
about that. All of that coming up in the next
(33:53):
half hour of Uncle Henry's Show. As the show proceeds
forward in the time here on news Radio seven ten WNT,
don't forget this show available on YouTube. Look for Uncle
Henry's Show on YouTube. This is the Uncle Henry Show
(34:37):
here on News Radio seven ten WNT. Thank you, I
appreciate very much listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Now
in this half hour show, we're going to talk to
a lady with a charitable organization that's coming up in
the next segment of the show. We're actually going to
(34:58):
talk about a good effort, a good charitable effort going
on on the Gulf Coast. We'll get into that and
the next segment of the show. Right now, this segment
of the show, want to get to some voicemail from listeners.
I also want to remind you that the polls are
still open. If you live in a municipality, a municipality
(35:22):
that has a runoff today, then you still have time
to vote. The polls close at seven o'clock, so you
got a little less than an hour to get to
the polls and mobile to pick between Barbara Drummond and
Spirocharit Gottis, and you got the election up there in Chickasaw.
You've got Prichard's election Robertsdale. There's still plenty of voting
to be done, so if you have the opportunity to
(35:44):
go vote, it doesn't take very long when there's only
one race on the ballot. This today was the fastest
I've ever voted. Now, before I get to voicemail, just
a little bit on voter turnout. I want to hear
what Fox ten had to say. No official numbers, of course,
but they had this on the air a few hours ago.
(36:07):
Let me hear what they say about the turnout there.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
Stephen Moody is following Spirit Chair Goddess's campaign and Vanessa
Pacheco is on the Barber Drumming campaign. And guys, both
of you have been.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Covering this election all morning long.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
How's the voter turnout been so far?
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, hey, Aceland, it has been great so far. We
were at Dauphin Way Baptist Church. It has been great
so far, amobile and then we actually stopped at another
church on Schillinger Road, and I can tell you that
voter turnout has been very very good, especially for a
runoff election. I know you've been out here all morning
as well.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
I don't know what you've seen, but.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah, so I think we've gone to like at least
three to four polling centers, all of them you see
a difference this morning. I mean there's still plenty of
time overall, but you are seeing that difference in voter turnout.
Talking to both of the candidates, they both say that
they've seen that difference.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Okay, good, So voter turnout allegedly good. Like hearing that
it's a very very important election. So I don't know
what more motivation you would need. But if you do
care about the future, please go out and vote now.
To listener voicemail voice my number two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. If you leave a message,
(37:21):
you need to leave it at two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six to get it on the
Uncle Henry's show.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
So tyd thnking Happy Alabama versus Georgia week to you.
That's right. The biggies coming up this Saturday. Talks more
about that later on in the week. But you know,
I've come in before about some of the simple pleasures
in life. One of mine is here on the front
porch when I'm relaxing as I do on a daily
(37:50):
basis in my rocking chair with a fan of going.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
And I'm pausing there just to acknowledge that I too.
Sixty eight year old Chris of West Loxley phoning in
first mentioning a roll time and roll Tide road. Back
at you, Chris. He's also talking about now these simple
pleasures of life, and I agree that having a porch
that's a pleasure. Being able to sit on it comfortably,
(38:15):
that's a pleasure. Having a fan, affording a fan and
having it blow onto you. That is a pleasure, many
simple pleasures of life. There, rocking chair, that's a simple
pleasure of life.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
Oh, somebody next door might be cutting the grass or
chopping up to firewood, or you know, just a any
sort of thing like that. Well, today was the Krim
to Krim, as they say, Teller come out here in
this contraction that I'm sure it was the fire contany balling.
The NC sent him out here. It's a four wheel
(38:51):
job grick, big old thing, noisy and all that good
stuff has This looks like a hydraulic pole extension coming
out from the back all the way across the top.
Feller driving and he can make that thing go with
higher or way down low, you know. And on the
very end of it's a circular saw blade.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
That's the battle.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
That looks like it's bigger, bigger around than a basketball.
And what they had to do, of course, got some
trees here in the yard. They had to keep them
trim back and everything so that they don't get in
amongst the power lines and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
So now now I'm pausing here just to reflect on
I've never had a call in my talk show career
with somebody saying it was a simple pleasure when the
power company came to cut trees. Now I've had the opposite.
I have had some some brutal phone calls where people
(39:52):
were complaining bitterly about what was done to the trees,
what was done to their trees, their neighbors trees, the
trees in the street. I have heard every kind of complaint,
and I'm talking bitter, bitter complaints from responsible citizens about
their trees being you've heard these calls, if you've listened
to talk shows, people upset about what they say was
(40:13):
the butchering of their trees. Now sixty eight year old
Chris is saying, this is the simple pleasure of having
the power company cut out and cut the trees. Now
I'm really interested, Chris. What did they do? Did they
put on a show for you?
Speaker 6 (40:28):
Get in amongst the power lines and whatnot? So he
asked me, did I mind I go for it, buddy?
They need a good trim enough. So he took on
a couple of my pecan trees and my oak tree,
got them dressed up real nice, got a lot of
them limbs out there and save me money. Hey, they
(40:49):
don't charge the do nothing like it. I guess they
consider that part of you, bill.
Speaker 7 (40:54):
Ah.
Speaker 10 (40:55):
But I sure did enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
It's just a little look, I'm repeating myself. I realized this,
but I've got to fill time, but I can't. I
this is the first time anybody's called you heard him.
This sounds like Chris really enjoyed it. And I've never
had anybody call and say, boy, it was wonderful. It
was wonderful when the power company came to cut my
(41:18):
trees all right back, we're almost finished with this.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
Out there, and save me money. Hey, they don't charge
to do nothing like it. I guess that they consider
that part of.
Speaker 8 (41:27):
You, bill.
Speaker 10 (41:29):
Ah.
Speaker 6 (41:30):
But I sure did enjoy it. It's just little things
like that.
Speaker 9 (41:33):
No, I didn't, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (41:35):
I don't really have to get in the well. I
did have to get the truck move it down the driveway,
but I don't have to get in the vehicle and
leave out of my yard to go somewhere to enjoy
something and spend any money like I had to do
when I took Serena and her friend to the fair Friday.
Oh man, that's a bad experience money wise, spent all right, Den,
(42:01):
get ready to gen in here directly one oh.
Speaker 9 (42:04):
Five pm on a Monday.
Speaker 6 (42:07):
Ought to be hearing from you.
Speaker 9 (42:09):
About right in four hours.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Roll tidroll, mister, roll tide roll. Sixty eight year old Chris,
thank you for sharing your experience with me and the
listener of the pleasure you had watching your trees get cut.
It feels like an upside down world. That's how that's
how different that call is compared to the calls I
used to get when I was doing mornings on this station.
I can remember the late notable caller, Nicky Youngblood. I
(42:38):
remember there was a series of days, several days in
a row, where he was calling and complaining about the
way they were cutting his trees and talking about the
different actions that he had taken against the company. Just
lots and lots of complaints through the years, and sixty
eight year old Chris, he considered it a pleasure. He
didn't have to leave home for the pleasure. All right,
(42:59):
Gonna take a time out and then come back. I'm
going to talk to somebody involved with a charitable effort.
And it's always good to do good, and we'll find
out more about it when the Uncle Henry Show continues.
(43:24):
It says The Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seven ten WNTM News headlines coming up in ten minutes.
I know you got your mind on elections, the fall
of Western civilization, and all these things, but we're going
to talk about something good, something fun coming up for
a good cause. Shelley Bell is here. I got your
(43:45):
name right right, absolutely, Shelly Bell is here from Be
the Change. What is Be the Change?
Speaker 8 (43:50):
So Be the Change. Gulf Coast is a organization that
I founded about four or five years ago, and we
partner with communities service providers such as places like Penelope
House and Door to Serenity and Our Sister's Closet, and
they have clients that have needs and we partner with
(44:14):
them and help fill in the gaps where there are
no other community resources. So there are people that will
provide food, pantry items, there are places that will pay
a power bill, there are places that will provide clothing
for people. But there's no place but us that will
(44:36):
provide a gas card. If someone's recently gotten a job
but they can't get back and forth to work for
the first two weeks. And we've helped single mothers that
have had a flat tire. We've helped people get driver's
licenses and birth certificates and things like that. So and
(44:57):
all of those things are less than one hundred. So
you never really know how big an impact such a
small amount of money can.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Do, but we know that it is. So you're you're
filling in the blanks. There's all these different organizations that
do all these things, and you decided to come in
and fill in the blanks and take care of those
needs that as you pointed out, they're under one hundred
dollars each, these needs, but they can be huge to
somebody with no money.
Speaker 8 (45:24):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
So you have a big fundraiser coming up. Tell us
about your fun fundraising event coming up this month.
Speaker 8 (45:30):
So it's a wine tasting and it's out in Westmobile
at Amechi Tradtory in one Bar and Market, and it's
going to be authentic Italian cuisine. It's going to be
some very nice ones that broke the owner has handpicked
for these and we have a VIP level and we
(45:54):
have a general admission.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
Level before we get into VIP and general admission.
Speaker 8 (45:58):
When is this event is September twenty ninth. The general
I mean the VIP is at starts at five thirty
to six thirty and then the other starts at six thirty.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
To eight thirty. Okay, so this is at a Meche.
Now that is that is is that off Cottage Hill,
Cottage Hill and Chilling Cottage, chill and Chillinger. Because I've
heard so many people talk about how great it is.
I haven't been out there yet, but I've heard nothing
but great things about this. Pope, you'll come, So we come.
We have the wine tasting, we have the authentic Italian cuisine.
(46:30):
Sounds like a great time.
Speaker 8 (46:31):
Absolutely. Simone French will be there playing as well, so
there'll be some live music, there'll be raffle items. It's
going to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Okay. So how can people get tickets to this event?
Speaker 8 (46:45):
They can go to Beth Change Gulf Coast dot com
and it's the first thing that pops up.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
Be the Change Gulf Coast dot com. So how long
have you been doing Be the Change Gulf Coast.
Speaker 8 (46:57):
Actually started it in early twenty one, okay, but then
a series of events. My father moved in with me
and he was ill, so I had to kind of
put it on the back burner for a couple of years.
But we've been really trying to promote it and help
(47:18):
people as much as we can for the last three years.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Say what are some can you give some examples, just
a few examples, a couple examples of some instances where
you've helped in the last few months.
Speaker 8 (47:30):
So we have been able to buy steel toe boots
for someone that is living in a sober living facility
and trying to get his life together and get back
into a workforce. We have bought a tool belt. We've
bought a tire for a single mother. We have bought
gas cards for someone who had just gotten a job
(47:53):
and was unable to have gas to get back and
forth to work for that first two weeks. So you know,
it's just little increments, but it makes a big difference.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Bethechange Gulf Coast dot com is the website now. The
event is on the twenty ninth out there at Amichi
corner of close to Cottage Chilling Chillinger. Still plenty of
tickets available if people want the tickets.
Speaker 8 (48:20):
Absolutely absolutely there we have we have just a few
VIP tickets actually, but then we have a handful or
more of the general admission tickets available.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
Okay, so this is going to be a great time
and when you go to an event like this, you're
going to be great people. Is there other people that
also want to help?
Speaker 8 (48:38):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (48:40):
Okay, those are the kind of people I like to.
Speaker 9 (48:41):
Hang out with.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
Absolutely, Absolutely so, Shelley Bell. Anything else, We're almost out
of time here, anything else you want to say about
Be the Change Gulf Coast.
Speaker 8 (48:51):
Just as far as the event goes, A huge shout
out to Port City Metals, Payroll Vault and Delta Self
Inspections for being our sponsors. Very very generous people, and
we just really appreciate our sponsors. So our tagline is
to make change, give change, and be the change.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
Wonderful and great sponsors. Had some experience years ago with
payroll Vault wonderful people. So glad that you're connected to Payrollvolt.
Theres so again, listener. You can get tickets to the
event at beth Change Gulf Coast dot com. If you
can't make the event or you're not into wine tastings,
still go to be the go to that website and
(49:36):

it doesn't take a lot of cash to do it.
Be the Change Gulf Coast dot com. Shelley Bell, thank
you for coming in Thanks and talking to the listeners
of the Uncle Henry Show. Appreciate it, and thank you
for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. As they say
in Sarah Land, have a good one, and as they
say in Theodore, take it easy.
Speaker 7 (50:01):
I'll write later
Weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
And see, you know what, I don't know who to
us for, and so therefore I'm in the illusion of who.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
To us for, it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio seven
ten WNTM. Thank you, thank you so much. I appreciate
very much listening to the Uncle Henry Show, especially if
you're listening on AM radio. God bless you, God bless you.
(01:29):
Here's somebody I need to know. If you love AM radio,
you and I are kindred spirits. Also thank you to
the people listening on the new fangled fancy iHeartRadio apps,
streaming and doing all that streaming junk. And also thank
you to the people looking at me on YouTube. Look
for Uncle Henry Show on YouTube to see boring videos
(01:50):
of an old man standing just at a microphone, struggling. Well,
here we are in the final hours of voting for
these municipal elections. I know you're on the edge of
your seat. You're on the edge of your seat wondering
who is it going to be in Pritchard, Who's going
to be the new mayor of Chickasaw. These things just
(02:10):
might even have you up at night wondering about the
fate of Chickasaw. And of course you've got the mobile
mayor's race. Barbara Drummond versus Spiriture. Goddess, what a this
has been a different mayor's race, hasn't it. This has
been so different, how politicized, how all the national politics do.
For whatever reason, Barbara Drumming decided to bring the national
(02:33):
politics into it. So we got that wrinkle, a new
rankle to mobile mayors races. Now today I knew who
I was going to vote for, and I really did
enjoy the voting experience. I went to my polling place.
I would say the turnout was was good and brisk.
I've voted before eight o'clock in the morning, and there
(02:54):
was a lot of people in and out of the
voting place. One of the easiest votes. This probably was
the easiest vote I've ever had to to cast, because
it was just one, just one thing. Vote for this
one or the other one. You're in, you're out. Nobody
gets hurt if you're lucky. Everybody was so pleasant. I
was thanked for coming by the people there at the
(03:16):
polling place. They thanked me for showing up. They thank
me for voting they were. They were just delightful people
there working the pole workers. I will say a minor
disappointment though at my polling place in that I was younger. No,
(03:38):
I was older than the ladies that checked me in.
I don't know what the process is called. I'll just
call it checking in, since I don't have the vocabulary
for all these things. But normally there's people that look
like they're ninety five years old checking you in, getting
you ready, checking your ID, making sure you can vote,
and getting your your thing. And I've always enjoyed It's
(04:00):
like the one place I wasn't the oldest person was
going to vote, because there's always been some extreme elderly
there many times with all kinds of medical devices attached
to them as they would check me in. Today, that
didn't encounter that. I did not encounter the people with
medical issues ninety eight years old checking me in. These
(04:21):
ladies looked mature a bit younger than me. That was
kind of a disappointment, but everything else was great. This
is I think this is the first time I've voted. Well,
in fact, I know because I just got married back
in April. This is the first time I got to
vote with my wife, and I enjoyed voting with my
(04:43):
wife and then watching her. She I watched her feed
her ballot into the ballot eating machine, because you're familiar
with this. You fill out a little ballot and there's
a machine that eats it. And there was a woman,
a pole worker, I guess you'd call her, standing there
(05:05):
next to the machine, and she was she was looking
at my wife's vote very intensely. The very very she
was staring at that vote is what she could tell,
because hey, there's only one thing on the ballot, pretty
easy to tell who the wife voted for. And the
woman stood there and she just stared. She stared somberly,
(05:30):
intensely and somberly stared as the ballot was fed into
the ballot eating machine. And then she very somber. This
was I don't know if she was who knows. She
might have not liked my wife's vote, or she might
(05:50):
have been she might have been doing her grocery list
in her head. I don't really know. I don't I'm
not a mind reader. But she watched my wife feed
that's just very somber, watching my wife feed that into
the vote eating machine and then slowly handing us our
much beloved eye voted stickers. We love our eye voted stickers.
(06:17):
So just a wonderful experience. Just I almost wished it
had taken a little longer because we were just feeling
we felt part of something bigger, and that part of
something we felt bigger. I think we felt part of
a bigger bureaucratic city community is what we were feeling. Well,
(06:39):
I hope you had a pleasant experience, and I hope
that the people that were helping you weren't as somber
as the ones that helped us. But I hope you
had a good experience. And now we'll all have to
wait and find out who won the vote. And I
have no clue. You're more you're you're probably more well
(07:00):
connected than I am. But I've talked to a lot
of people today, and all the people I've talked to
don't have a clue. So apparently I'm all me and
my circle of friends. We're not high up on the ladder.
Maybe people higher on the ladder of society have already
got it figured out and they know how it's going
to go, and they'll probably enjoying a cigar and a
cocktail or something right now. But I'm at the I'm
(07:21):
a lower level person, so we're just we're all still waiting.
We don't know how this is going to end and
where it goes, so we're all kind of waiting to
see who wins. Two five to one four seven nine,
two seven two three the telephone number. If you'd like
to jump in here and talk about your experience as
you went to vote. Maybe you didn't vote because you couldn't.
Maybe you're not qualified to vote because you don't live
(07:45):
in the City of Mobile. I know your opinion is
probably stronger than mine. I don't care if you live
here or not. You can call in and tell me
what you think. Two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three. That's two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. Address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia
dot com. I'll tell you this my one big disappointment
(08:07):
in the mayor's race. That is that I could not
get Barbara Drummond to come on the Uncle Henry Show. Now,
her press person emailed me right right after they made
it into the runoff and said they would like to
make it happen, and it never did, just never did.
(08:30):
I've been here and if you've listened to me any
length of time. You know, I don't do tough gotcha interviews.
It would have been very respectful, but I never got
a chance to talk to her, and I'm disappointed in that.
(08:52):
I would have enjoyed finding out some things. All right,
back with more, Uncle Henry Show continues after the break
here on news radio seven ten. This says the Uncle
(09:17):
Henry Show. Here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. It
is five twenty. We have news headlines coming up in
ten minutes. Telephone number two five one four seven nine
two seven two three, and I got a couple of
callers waiting to talk. Let me grab these phone calls
(09:38):
real quick here, Hello caller.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Hey there, hey there, Oh, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
And you're talking about the fact that Barbara Grumman has
dropped so many names as you've got people endorsing her right,
and we don't understand why. Yeah, my grandmother used to
tell me, is not what you know is do you
know when it's a time when you need some help.
Maybe she thinks that by getting all these people that
she's letting let mobile know that we got in trouble,
(10:08):
she knows big people that.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Come help us.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
What do you think, all right, so this is this
is so if Mobile needs help, then she can pick
up her fone, she can call Kamala Harris, and Kamala
Harris will help us in whatever trouble we have.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
We have a hurricane, or we have certain say happens
down here, we need federal help. She's thinking, maybe she's
telling people that she's got contacts that will help us out.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
All right, Well, what do you think. Well, I don't
know if that that wouldn't work for the next three years,
for example, I mean she's uh, she's she's currently getting
a lot of help from people like Kamala Harris, who's
not in power, like the mayor of Birmingham. I don't know.
(10:54):
I mean, that doesn't make me think that. Maybe it
makes you and others think that, But I wouldn't ever
have thought that, Oh good, she knows Corey Booker. Maybe
Corey Booker can help me if there's a hurricane.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
I don't think she's thinking. I don't say that. What
she did is who she knows is what we need
to know. But I do think knowing people helps us
out in the long run.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well, that's true, Knowing people helps you out in the
wrong long.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Run the people she knows.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, I don't know about people she knows, but I
know that we've got a mayor that knows the folks,
has got a little higher up. We might have a
little leg up on some stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
All right, Well, well I don't know. Maybe that's the strategy.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
I hope. So I appreciate those Henderson, thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I appreciate you listening and calling. Now, so you've got
that side of it. Oh, she's got the endorsement of
Senator Corey Booker and the mayor of Birmingham and Kamala
Harris another terrible awful Democrat politicians. On one hand, maybe
(12:05):
they can help us if there's ever a hurricane. We
can get Corey Booker to help us get funding or
something like that, one of these horrible Democrats. The other
flip side of that, though, is bringing in these national
politicians into a local election and firing up some voters
that never might not have cared. Some people might not
(12:27):
have cared, and then they find out what Cory Booker
he booted Judge Kamala Harris. Maybe I need to get
up and go vote vote for Spiro. It can go
both ways there, it can go both ways. Hello caller, Cliff, Cliff,
(12:50):
you are live on the radio.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yes, my folks told you a long time ago to
be well. People coming to tell you how bad other
people are.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
If she would have said that, I didn't go along
with spending billions of dollars on illegal immigrants and and
gang members. I didn't go along with that. If she
would say something about how bad the Democrat Party is
(13:25):
in study parting thing at somebody else, I would have
voted for her. But she never They never mentioned how
evil and bad that these people. They spend billions of dollars.
They're still paying protesters out here now, Gaze for Palestine,
all this kind of stuff they want people to hurt,
(13:46):
the Ice Ice, the Ice police, and all this stuff
they study paying money. But they won't say, well, I
wasn't a part of that. I need to apologize for
spending billions of dollars and not giving you black people
in it. But if you trust me this time, I
might do it. They ain't even got the boss to
do that up in.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well. And so now we all well, we'll all know
here in a few hours if it worked or not.
It might have worked out for.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I doubt that my Mamma say she ain't raised no
food if you if you turn into one, you got
that way on your own. And she also said that
a fool don't a food, don't live long. But you
have some exceptions to that rule. Also, Okay, you know
(14:38):
things like this up in how are you going to
let some white people tell you how bad all other
white people are? They're white, you might want to check
them out, you know, just common sense stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Well common sense. We are in a short supply of
it these days. Have you noticed they they thank me
so bad?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Uncle Henry to I'd like to try laughing so hard
when one of them honorable people they're supposed to be honorable,
and senators and congressman, when one of them will tell
you we need to try to go to the sun
at night because it's cooler at night. Stuff like that
(15:23):
ought to get you to think that these people evidently
don't care about you or you the lie to you.
You have blith hell again.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Thank you, Cliff, you have blessed my day with your
phone call two five one four seven nine two three
the telephone number here on the Unclembery Show. We have
news headlines coming up in just a few minutes. From
Fox ten and from Fox Radio National News. Let's see
last night, right before midnight, right before midnight, I got
(15:49):
a call on the Uncle Henry Show voicemail line from
longtime caller Buford.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
And.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
Well, tomorrow is election day further mayor runoffs. Well, if
you're one of the morons that don't know who you
want to vote for yet, I've never understood that.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Look at it like this.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
Do you want Mobile to continue to progress the way
we are progressing, bringing in more jobs and such, then
vote SpeI rous Kara Gottis. Now if you want Mobil
to make a huge left turn and go down the
road that will lead us more like Richard, you know,
(16:37):
have unreliable utenities, have our infrastructure to fall apart, Then
a vote Barbara Drummond, if you are a liberal Democrat,
just stay home and go to the polls on Wednesday.
But whoever you vote for, and the words in my
(16:58):
great grandpapa, who has fixed many of MOBIL election in
the early nineteen hundreds, He's always say vote early, vote often. Anyway, Henry,
you have a good day.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Befford, thank you very much for your voicemail. Bufford's great
grandfather was a politician locally or was connected with politicians locally,
and I think it was earlier this year. It was
either late last year or earlier this year. I got
Beauford to tell us some stories, the stories of his
(17:34):
great grandfather actually stuffing ballot boxes back in Mobile. I
got one hundred years ago, Beufford. Thank you again for
the voicemail. Voicemail number two five one two one six,

Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Uh, we've
talked in the first half hour of the show about
the mayoral race. There's still time, a little less than
ninety minutes to cast your ballot. Whether you're voting in
(19:20):
Mobile or Spiro or Barbara, or in Pritchard, or in Chickasaw, Alabama,
or on Robertsdale, any of the communities with runoffs. There's
still time to get to the polls. And I'm sure
your experience will be a lot like mine. It'll be
in and out real quick because there's not a lot
on that ballot. Again two five one four seven nine
(19:43):
two seven two three the telephone number. Let's see. I
got a voicemail about mobile politics from the retired Mad Trucker.
He phoned this in yesterday, and if if I remember correctly,
I believe ld did move. I think he moved to
Mobile a couple of years ago. I think he's eligible
(20:06):
to vote. I think he voted today. So anyway, here
is the retired mad Trucker with a comment about Mobile
mayors and mobile politics.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
Hey, uncle Henry ld Well, is the outgoing mayor leaves
us just like Mike dal with a ton of debt,
train station we don't need. He's gonna leave us with
a hockey team that we won't attend and.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Who knows what helps on the way out the door?
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Spin, spin, spin, typical of.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
The mobile politician.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
But here's the thing, Uncle Henry. Do you remember and
I don't know if you do, but do you remember
they dug up the Civic Center floor to put a
loom of the the piping in to make the ice
rink freezing all that?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Do you remember? I don't, By the way, do not
remember that? But I was not paying real close attention
to all of that. I didn't. I wasn't following Civic
Center renovations at that juncture.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Remember that to tune, I think it was five million dollars,
five million dollars thrown out the window. How fast do
we forget about this?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
So here we are we're going to get another hockey ring,
another five to ten million dollars, and it's going in
the pockets of some local contractors, and we don't know
them because we don't get to eat dinner with them.
But if you did, you'd know who's getting the contracts,
why they're getting the contracts it. You know what, my god,
(21:40):
the citizens of Mobile are the most heavily taxed people
in the state of Alabama, and yet they continue to
put up with this. Well, if I can't do anything
about it, Uncle Henry, can I can I name the team?
Can I just name the team?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Let's I so, LD's gonna name the hockey team for us.
And by the way, there's a lot of people, of course, LD,
you understand this. A lot of people disagree with you.
A lot of people think this is going to be
such a big success. There's now nostalgia built up for hockey.
They're there. They think this is going to be one
of the greatest places to do anything, this new arena,
(22:21):
and that just the hockey is. They're just so excited
about the hockey. But anyway, what would you name the team?
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Call the Mobile Buffoons, because the taxpayers of Mobile are fools.
They're putting up with this garbage over and over and
over and over. The Mobile the hockey team, the Mobile Buffoons.
Sounds good to me, all right, LD.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
The man trucker, the Voiceman number two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six, if you'd like to leave
a message, or you can just call me live two
five to one four seven nine two seventy two three.
But you were talking about the as you said in
your voicemail. You're talking about these the citizens of Mobile
the most heavily taxed, is one of the things you said,
(23:11):
and they continue to put up with this. Now you
realize that some people are clamoring for more spending like this.
There are people, there are some citizens that are clamoring
for more money to be spent on things like that.
A lot of people want Beyfest to come back. They
want this stuff. And I saw something on Facebook this morning.
(23:35):
One of my Facebook friends had posted some financial information
about previous mayors and things they spent money on, and
a former city official wait in to comment.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
This.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
And it wasn't an elected official. It was a former bureaucrat,
somebody that worked in the bureaucracy. And this guy worked
for for Dow and Jones and stayed I think for
a little while under the Stemson administration before he left,
before he retired. This guy used a phrase in his
(24:18):
Facebook comment that I'd never heard before. He was telling
the poster, the person that posted this financial data. This
guy said, the citizens have a right to entertainment. Yeah.
This was a former former bureaucrat that was with the
(24:39):
city and an official capacity under numerous mayors. This guy said,
citizens have a right to entertainment. Now, I'm a citizen
and I don't I don't want that. Look you, you
(25:00):
the citizen. You may love it. You may want the
City of Mobile to invest in music festivals, and maybe
that's the most important.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Thing to you.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
You're willing to put up with horrible roads and bad
drainage if you can have a party and have a
big have a few more parades and a big music festival,
all this kind of stuff. But right to entertainment. You
know this has come up before, when when we held
lots of public hearings in Mobile, when Mayor Stimpson proposed
(25:32):
this idea of knocking down lad Stadium. You remember that
citizens were very angry. Some citizens were very angry at
the idea that somebody would want to knock down lad
Stadium and build something different. And I remember those public hearings.
People work were complaining bitterly that we don't have Bayfest
(25:56):
they were complaining bitterly that we don't have a Christmas
parade anymore, and they were they were saying, these things
have been taken from us, and you never have you
know how bad it floods in some parts of this town.
I don't remember anybody going to a city council meeting
or any public meeting and bitterly complaining about terrible drainage,
(26:22):
or bitterly complaining about the state of roads. There's some neighborhoods,
great houses. I don't know how you sell a house
when when you got a road so torn up in
front of it. And this happens in a lot of
neighborhoods in the mobile, nobody's nobody's complaining about that. But
you got a bureaucrat saying we've got a right to entertainment,
(26:44):
and you have citizens complaining bitterly, almost crying that they
don't have a Christmas parade, almost crying that we don't
have Bayfest anymore. It's a different, different expectations for government
among the young, and I'm not in that camp. It's
(27:04):
nice to have entertainment, but if you can't, if you
don't have good infrastructure, if you don't have an adequate
police department, an adequate fire department, and good infrastructure. I
don't think a city should be doing anything else.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
If you can't handle the basics, what's the point. What's
the point If you can't have the basics, what is
the point of all this? In this official, I don't
want to say his name. I don't want to embarrass him.
But this guy that said citizens have a right to entertainment,
that's a giant load. Uncle Henry Show News Radio seven

You have a good day, Well, beautiful, We don't know yet.
We don't know yet. We have to wait for the
votes to be counted and find out who will be
the next mayor of Mobile. Uh a lot. There's going
to be a release of energy, I'm sure with a
lot of people. Uh, well, you know how these things go.
Some people are going to feel good and some people aren't.
(29:35):
Medical research claims that, just like in sports, that your
testosterone level can be affected when you are very attached
to a candidate or a sports team. They claim they've
(29:57):
proved this, so they're claiming that if your candidate wins,
you're going to have a boost in your tea level
temporarily and you're going to feel good. And conversely, if
your candidate loses, the medical researchers claim that you're going
to have a little dip in the tea level for
a day or two and you're not going to feel
(30:17):
as good. So it's it's gonna be. There will be
health consequences to this as well, Yes, health consequences for
some of us. Some of us have to for whatever
reasons have to jealously guard our tea level and make
sure that it's where it needs to be. And this
has also been They say the same thing about sports.
(30:41):
If you're really in to a team and they win,
it can be good for your health. And if you're
really into a team and they lose, it can be
really bad for your health. Two five to one or
seven nine two seven two three the telephone number he
love color. Hey, uncle, Henry LD, the retired man trucker.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
I am not going to talk about your mother or
your wife today. Good look, real quick, do you realize
or does anybody? And somebody tell me I'm wrong. Those
voting machine machines were delivered Thursday and Friday of last
week to area schools and churches, and they've been sitting
there un guarded. They've been sitting there with no security
(31:30):
for two or three days.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
That is something I've not thought about.
Speaker 10 (31:36):
Yeah, I don't like it.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
I don't like it.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
I have personal knowledge of this, and I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And then he hung up. You you know, LD. You
know as many terrible things as LD has said on
the program, him hanging up on hisself, what a great thing. Well,
I love it. I love it. It just saves me
because I don't like hanging up on callers, even when
I should hang up on them. You can tell I
(32:02):
just don't like hanging up on them. Thank you LD
for hanging up on yourself. And I would like to think,
I would like to think. I hope we don't have
anything to worry about in regards to things like that
going on for municipal elections and mobile But let's all
hope together that there's been no trickery or shenanigans and
(32:27):
it's just your basics showing up and voting and see
who gets the most votes. Well, just about out of
time for this hour of Uncle Henry's Show. After the
results come in, I hope you'll join me tomorrow on
the show to talk about the fallout about who wins
and who loses. If you have some really interesting thoughts
(32:50):
overnight that occur to you, do as others have done.
I've played you voicemails. Leave me the message two five
to one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's I
have won two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave
a message for the Uncle Henry Show. Or you can
just email me and we'll pick it up tomorrow with
(33:10):
that email email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now, in the
next half hour of show, probably going to talk about
the election a little bit more. I've a I've got
a voicemail that i want to share that I've been
(33:31):
holding back about simple pleasures in life. I want to
get to that. And also I'm going to talk to
a lady with a local charitable effort called Be the
Change Gulf Coast. Be the Change Golf Coast is having
a fundraiser this coming Monday, and we're going to talk
about that. All of that coming up in the next
(33:53):
half hour of Uncle Henry's Show. As the show proceeds
forward in the time here on news Radio seven ten WNT,
don't forget this show available on YouTube. Look for Uncle
Henry's Show on YouTube. This is the Uncle Henry Show
(34:37):
here on News Radio seven ten WNT. Thank you, I
appreciate very much listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Now
in this half hour show, we're going to talk to
a lady with a charitable organization that's coming up in
the next segment of the show. We're actually going to
(34:58):
talk about a good effort, a good charitable effort going
on on the Gulf Coast. We'll get into that and
the next segment of the show. Right now, this segment
of the show, want to get to some voicemail from listeners.
I also want to remind you that the polls are
still open. If you live in a municipality, a municipality
(35:22):
that has a runoff today, then you still have time
to vote. The polls close at seven o'clock, so you
got a little less than an hour to get to
the polls and mobile to pick between Barbara Drummond and
Spirocharit Gottis, and you got the election up there in Chickasaw.
You've got Prichard's election Robertsdale. There's still plenty of voting
to be done, so if you have the opportunity to
(35:44):
go vote, it doesn't take very long when there's only
one race on the ballot. This today was the fastest
I've ever voted. Now, before I get to voicemail, just
a little bit on voter turnout. I want to hear
what Fox ten had to say. No official numbers, of course,
but they had this on the air a few hours ago.
(36:07):
Let me hear what they say about the turnout there.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
Stephen Moody is following Spirit Chair Goddess's campaign and Vanessa
Pacheco is on the Barber Drumming campaign. And guys, both
of you have been.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Covering this election all morning long.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
How's the voter turnout been so far?
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, hey, Aceland, it has been great so far. We
were at Dauphin Way Baptist Church. It has been great
so far, amobile and then we actually stopped at another
church on Schillinger Road, and I can tell you that
voter turnout has been very very good, especially for a
runoff election. I know you've been out here all morning
as well.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
I don't know what you've seen, but.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah, so I think we've gone to like at least
three to four polling centers, all of them you see
a difference this morning. I mean there's still plenty of
time overall, but you are seeing that difference in voter turnout.
Talking to both of the candidates, they both say that
they've seen that difference.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Okay, good, So voter turnout allegedly good. Like hearing that
it's a very very important election. So I don't know
what more motivation you would need. But if you do
care about the future, please go out and vote now.
To listener voicemail voice my number two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. If you leave a message,
(37:21):
you need to leave it at two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six to get it on the
Uncle Henry's show.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
So tyd thnking Happy Alabama versus Georgia week to you.
That's right. The biggies coming up this Saturday. Talks more
about that later on in the week. But you know,
I've come in before about some of the simple pleasures
in life. One of mine is here on the front
porch when I'm relaxing as I do on a daily
(37:50):
basis in my rocking chair with a fan of going.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
And I'm pausing there just to acknowledge that I too.
Sixty eight year old Chris of West Loxley phoning in
first mentioning a roll time and roll Tide road. Back
at you, Chris. He's also talking about now these simple
pleasures of life, and I agree that having a porch
that's a pleasure. Being able to sit on it comfortably,
(38:15):
that's a pleasure. Having a fan, affording a fan and
having it blow onto you. That is a pleasure, many
simple pleasures of life. There, rocking chair, that's a simple
pleasure of life.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
Oh, somebody next door might be cutting the grass or
chopping up to firewood, or you know, just a any
sort of thing like that. Well, today was the Krim
to Krim, as they say, Teller come out here in
this contraction that I'm sure it was the fire contany balling.
The NC sent him out here. It's a four wheel
(38:51):
job grick, big old thing, noisy and all that good
stuff has This looks like a hydraulic pole extension coming
out from the back all the way across the top.
Feller driving and he can make that thing go with
higher or way down low, you know. And on the
very end of it's a circular saw blade.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
That's the battle.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
That looks like it's bigger, bigger around than a basketball.
And what they had to do, of course, got some
trees here in the yard. They had to keep them
trim back and everything so that they don't get in
amongst the power lines and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
So now now I'm pausing here just to reflect on
I've never had a call in my talk show career
with somebody saying it was a simple pleasure when the
power company came to cut trees. Now I've had the opposite.
I have had some some brutal phone calls where people
(39:52):
were complaining bitterly about what was done to the trees,
what was done to their trees, their neighbors trees, the
trees in the street. I have heard every kind of complaint,
and I'm talking bitter, bitter complaints from responsible citizens about
their trees being you've heard these calls, if you've listened
to talk shows, people upset about what they say was
(40:13):
the butchering of their trees. Now sixty eight year old
Chris is saying, this is the simple pleasure of having
the power company cut out and cut the trees. Now
I'm really interested, Chris. What did they do? Did they
put on a show for you?
Speaker 6 (40:28):
Get in amongst the power lines and whatnot? So he
asked me, did I mind I go for it, buddy?
They need a good trim enough. So he took on
a couple of my pecan trees and my oak tree,
got them dressed up real nice, got a lot of
them limbs out there and save me money. Hey, they
(40:49):
don't charge the do nothing like it. I guess they
consider that part of you, bill.
Speaker 7 (40:54):
Ah.
Speaker 10 (40:55):
But I sure did enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
It's just a little look, I'm repeating myself. I realized this,
but I've got to fill time, but I can't. I
this is the first time anybody's called you heard him.
This sounds like Chris really enjoyed it. And I've never
had anybody call and say, boy, it was wonderful. It
was wonderful when the power company came to cut my
(41:18):
trees all right back, we're almost finished with this.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
Out there, and save me money. Hey, they don't charge
to do nothing like it. I guess that they consider
that part of.
Speaker 8 (41:27):
You, bill.
Speaker 10 (41:29):
Ah.
Speaker 6 (41:30):
But I sure did enjoy it. It's just little things
like that.
Speaker 9 (41:33):
No, I didn't, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (41:35):
I don't really have to get in the well. I
did have to get the truck move it down the driveway,
but I don't have to get in the vehicle and
leave out of my yard to go somewhere to enjoy
something and spend any money like I had to do
when I took Serena and her friend to the fair Friday.
Oh man, that's a bad experience money wise, spent all right, Den,
(42:01):
get ready to gen in here directly one oh.
Speaker 9 (42:04):
Five pm on a Monday.
Speaker 6 (42:07):
Ought to be hearing from you.
Speaker 9 (42:09):
About right in four hours.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Roll tidroll, mister, roll tide roll. Sixty eight year old Chris,
thank you for sharing your experience with me and the
listener of the pleasure you had watching your trees get cut.
It feels like an upside down world. That's how that's
how different that call is compared to the calls I
used to get when I was doing mornings on this station.
I can remember the late notable caller, Nicky Youngblood. I
(42:38):
remember there was a series of days, several days in
a row, where he was calling and complaining about the
way they were cutting his trees and talking about the
different actions that he had taken against the company. Just
lots and lots of complaints through the years, and sixty
eight year old Chris, he considered it a pleasure. He
didn't have to leave home for the pleasure. All right,
(42:59):
Gonna take a time out and then come back. I'm
going to talk to somebody involved with a charitable effort.
And it's always good to do good, and we'll find
out more about it when the Uncle Henry Show continues.
(43:24):
It says The Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seven ten WNTM News headlines coming up in ten minutes.
I know you got your mind on elections, the fall
of Western civilization, and all these things, but we're going
to talk about something good, something fun coming up for
a good cause. Shelley Bell is here. I got your
(43:45):
name right right, absolutely, Shelly Bell is here from Be
the Change. What is Be the Change?
Speaker 8 (43:50):
So Be the Change. Gulf Coast is a organization that
I founded about four or five years ago, and we
partner with communities service providers such as places like Penelope
House and Door to Serenity and Our Sister's Closet, and
they have clients that have needs and we partner with
(44:14):
them and help fill in the gaps where there are
no other community resources. So there are people that will
provide food, pantry items, there are places that will pay
a power bill, there are places that will provide clothing
for people. But there's no place but us that will
(44:36):
provide a gas card. If someone's recently gotten a job
but they can't get back and forth to work for
the first two weeks. And we've helped single mothers that
have had a flat tire. We've helped people get driver's
licenses and birth certificates and things like that. So and
(44:57):
all of those things are less than one hundred. So
you never really know how big an impact such a
small amount of money can.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Do, but we know that it is. So you're you're
filling in the blanks. There's all these different organizations that
do all these things, and you decided to come in
and fill in the blanks and take care of those
needs that as you pointed out, they're under one hundred
dollars each, these needs, but they can be huge to
somebody with no money.
Speaker 8 (45:24):

So it's a wine tasting and it's out in Westmobile
at Amechi Tradtory in one Bar and Market, and it's
going to be authentic Italian cuisine. It's going to be
some very nice ones that broke the owner has handpicked
for these and we have a VIP level and we
(45:54):
have a general admission.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
Level before we get into VIP and general admission.
Speaker 8 (45:58):
When is this event is September twenty ninth. The general
I mean the VIP is at starts at five thirty
to six thirty and then the other starts at six thirty.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
To eight thirty. Okay, so this is at a Meche.
Now that is that is is that off Cottage Hill,
Cottage Hill and Chilling Cottage, chill and Chillinger. Because I've
heard so many people talk about how great it is.
I haven't been out there yet, but I've heard nothing
but great things about this. Pope, you'll come, So we come.
We have the wine tasting, we have the authentic Italian cuisine.
(46:30):
Sounds like a great time.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Okay. So how can people get tickets to this event?
Speaker 8 (46:45):
They can go to Beth Change Gulf Coast dot com
and it's the first thing that pops up.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
Be the Change Gulf Coast dot com. So how long
have you been doing Be the Change Gulf Coast.
Speaker 8 (46:57):
Actually started it in early twenty one, okay, but then
a series of events. My father moved in with me
and he was ill, so I had to kind of
put it on the back burner for a couple of years.
But we've been really trying to promote it and help
(47:18):
people as much as we can for the last three years.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Say what are some can you give some examples, just
a few examples, a couple examples of some instances where
you've helped in the last few months.
Speaker 8 (47:30):
So we have been able to buy steel toe boots
for someone that is living in a sober living facility
and trying to get his life together and get back
into a workforce. We have bought a tool belt. We've
bought a tire for a single mother. We have bought
gas cards for someone who had just gotten a job
(47:53):
and was unable to have gas to get back and
forth to work for that first two weeks. So you know,
it's just little increments, but it makes a big difference.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Bethechange Gulf Coast dot com is the website now. The
event is on the twenty ninth out there at Amichi
corner of close to Cottage Chilling Chillinger. Still plenty of
tickets available if people want the tickets.
Speaker 8 (48:20):
Absolutely absolutely there we have we have just a few
VIP tickets actually, but then we have a handful or
more of the general admission tickets available.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
Okay, so this is going to be a great time
and when you go to an event like this, you're
going to be great people. Is there other people that
also want to help?
Speaker 8 (48:38):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
