Shelby Mitchell. You've got a busy weekend a head. Tell
the listener what you'll be doing this Saturday.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I'm playing pickleball. I'm not playing You're playing pickleball. Not
playing pickleball. We are a sponsor for the Eastern Shore
Centers first ever pickleball tournament. We've teamed up with Fox
ten and we're excited. So I'm gonna help kick off
the event at Lote Park and Daphne at eight am
on Saturday. So we're still looking for volunteers. They have
(02:01):
all the players. Yeah, Lnis Lagan's putting it all together,
so it's gonna be a lot of fun. Then after that,
I'm gonna go in the ac for a little bit
and then have something to eat. Then I'm gonna go
down to the wharf in Orange Beach to kick off
the wonderful Parker McCullum a pre concert party at Island
Time Dacres.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
All right, now, I will see you there. I will
not be at the pickleball tournament. Fine, they're in Daphne. Now. Pickleball,
that is something that I'm not really allowed to play,
uh oh, due to my slowness.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
You know, I probably have the same rule, but I
just don't know it yet. I've never tried. I always
wanted to. I love ping pong and I played tennis
years ago, but it was bad on my knees. So
a professional told me I better not try pickleball, but
I might try the slow version. Okay, all right, So
is there a slow version?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Maybe we could do that one I do.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I need to find out about it. All the fun
things that require speed, yes, okay, like basketball. Even as
a short person, I would have had a chance if
I could move, sure, but being short and slow pretty
much eliminated me from a lot of sport.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, let's just go to concerts and then have dakeeries
and invite all of our listeners.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yes, indeed, So pick a Ball tournament Saturday and Daphne's
starting at eight o'clock in the morning, lot Park, so
you will be there with the Lenise Lagan. Yeah, there'll
just be an exciting moment there for Lot Park and
Dafte to have all the celebrities.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
They're playing pick a ball raising money for the arts.
That's the big deal.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay. So that and then Parker McCollum at the Wharf.
That is going to be a wonderful concert for those
of you that listen to country music. He's had some
big hits in the last few years. He has really
taken off very He's he's quite a great writer and
has a great new album out. But I want to
ask about something else music.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Okay, I hope I have an answer, because I don't
know a lot of things, as.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You might be in the right and by the way, listener,
we I am gonna get Once this first segment is over,
there will be talk of the mayor's race. There will
be even some national politics because some documents have been
released lately that are so interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I'm leaving for that conversation, but I want to.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Ask about, uh, you're you might be the right age
group for this. Oh lord, uh the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. Yeah,
because I was shocked that even my own wife texted
me about Ozzy Osbourne when she told me Ozzie's passed us. Yeah,
I thought Ozzie knewsome my own wife. My own wife
(04:21):
was concerned about Ozzy Osbourne and knew all about Ozzie Osbourne.
And then I found out yesterday a lot of the
people that that watched this show on Facebook, they were
all commenting on Ozzy Osbourne. Yeah and all this kind
of stuff, which really shocked me because of the nature
of his Biden heads off of bats and stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I know, I know, I know the same, and you know,
being on KSJ for years and years obviously did not
play him on KSJ. But I mean he's a pop
culture icon.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
He was.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Why yeah, well because he of everything he did. He
you know, was writing heads off and was with the
media personality, and then all the reality show stuff and
the Black Sabbath Day and then uh, but here's the thing.
He raised a lot of money for charities. Okay, oh,
a lot of money, like in the millions.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So a list for all of us if uk Hall of.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Fame and all.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I mean, he was a big, big deal.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
We can learn a lot from this that if you
can dabble in Satanism as long as you raise a
lot of money for charities at some point before you pass.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I think that was mostly a show, I really do.
But but but.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
To your to your generation, yes, sir, which is not mine.
Were you were you into Ozzy Osbourne? Did you listen
to this story now only listening to Crazy Trains.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Some of the crossover, Yeah, I like to that and
uh the Mama, I'm Coming Home. Carrie Underwood has a
great cover of that song. And if Christian carry Underwood
can cover Satanic Ozzy Osbourne, then I think we all
have a chance.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, So we have Carrie Underwood now as our guiding
star on whether or not we can and cannot do things.
That's a pretty good carry Underwood approve of it all.
Just okay, all right? So I was told today got
an email and a fish email that this weekend ninety
six to one The Rocket is doing some type of
Ozzy Osbourne weekend.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, they're having like a tuffer on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Oh both days.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
I think.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So, that's how big Ozzie is. He's getting a tribute
on ninety six to one the Rocket two days in
a row. A lot of fans with lots of life.
If you're one of those folks that just wants to
hear that Ozzie music for the umpteenth time or the moons,
now you'll be able to hear it a lot of
it this weekend on ninety six to one The Rocket. Now,
are they also asking for tributes and things? They're gonna
have people trying to to tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on
(06:33):
the air.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I believe so. And you have to remember a lot
of people love sharing and love the family with all
the reality stuff. So a lot of people are you know,
fans because of the fam, not just because of Ozzie well.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'm one of the I had have artfully dodged the
Osbourne I did.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
That's probably a good idea.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I've dodged the music, of course, because it was loud
and offensive and satanic. Yeah, and I dodged all that.
And then they became TV stars and I tuned in
once to try and figure out why people liked it
and couldn't understand what he was saying. Bless and so.
But you know that's true, it's hard to understand the guy, right, dodged.
I've completely dodged all of it, completely dodged all of it.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I kind of kept up with the Kelly and Jack
and then like the weight loss and then the mental
health issues and it was interesting for a little bit
and then I abandoned it too.
Speaker 1 (07:21):

(07:43):
years ago. He was doing a tribute to Jim crochey

Hall of Fame twice. Yeah, once for Black Sabbath and

there was a mayoral forum last night at B. C.
Rain High School. Dauphin Island Parkway was a big topic
(10:01):
of the mayoral forum. I'm glad to hear that. I
thought for many years, many decades, I believe that DP
has been neglected by the city fathers and mothers, and
I'm glad to get a little attention on DIP. I've
always Lovedaulphin Island Parkway Back when I was doing the
TV show in late and nineteen eighty nine into the
(10:23):
early nineties, I had a very active fan base for
the Uncle Henry TV show on the Parkway. There were
some nights I would take live phone calls and it
seemed like the only calls would come out of the Parkway.
It was a wonderful thing to feel connected to the
Parkway back in the day. And so I'm glad that
they're getting some attention here with a mayoral forum. Fox
(10:46):
ten did a brief report on the forum. Let's listen
together as to what was talked about on bc Rain
last night.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Well, we were exactly five weeks away from a big
election Mobile.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Yeah, next month, voters are deciding who's the next mayor
for Mobile, and tonight afore I'm at bc Rain High
School gave voters an opportunity to hear from the four
candidates in this race.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Our Claudia Nichols was at the former Claudia. How was
the turnout?
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Well, it was another packed house, Denise and hummeron. And
while some voters say they've already made up their minds,
others are still trying to decide who they want as
Mobile's next leader.
Speaker 10 (11:26):
I think it's important that as Americans we hear what
the people running profits.
Speaker 11 (11:31):
I have to say.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
By the way, I love that lady's accent her voice.
I wish that. I love. Of course, they do a
wonderful job all the TV reporters and anchors here on
the Gulf Coast. But if y'all could just have some
people that sound like this lady on there doing the
news every now and again, I'd appreciate it. I would
feel seen, I would feel represented if you would have
(11:54):
a lady like that. No offense to all the well spoken,
wonderful news anchors and anchor ladies, but if we could
just have somebody that sanadge like, sounds like that lady,
that would just be wonderful.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I would love to see this city actually grow on
a little bit more on like a big metropolitan city,
you know, and like that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I would like a guy like this guy doing the
news as well. Why can't we have anchors that sound
like us and have a strong leader.
Speaker 12 (12:21):
Tonight B c Rains High School auditorium was crowded. With
five weeks to go before the election, candidates made their
case to voters. The four candidates left in the running
are spirou CHERI Gooddess, Connie Hudson, Barbara Drummond and Paul Prime.
And one thing's for sure, voters still want to hear
from these four about which issues they plan to tackle.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
I would like to see it grow more, more job,
more opportunity, reach out to the youth, and help the homeless,
really the homeless.
Speaker 13 (12:52):
What I want to make sure of that that the
whole Mobile, not just West Mobile that they really cleaning
up and taking care of, uh, just the whole Mobile
that is being taken care of, law enforcement and everything.
Is the whole city get the same thing tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
By the way, and I've heard this for many years,
people feeling like somehow West You heard that lady there say,
West Mobile, Why don't they take care of the city
the eastern part of the city the way that western
part of the city is. If you were to if
we were to look at the amount of money spent
(13:32):
in West Mobile versus East of the Innerstate, I wonder
what the wonder what that tale would tell us the
amount of money that has been from every level, from
the federal, state and local tax revenue, the amounts of
money spent in East versus West and you heard that
lady she sent, she sent a little jealous of West Mobile.
(13:57):
I suspect that if we were to look through the
last twenty years and all the money spent, that we
would find a majority over fifty percent of it would
have gone to east of the Interstate. I know that's
a shock thought, but just think about all the money
it's been poured into downtown, just that one area. Just
(14:19):
just some food for thought to the lady there.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Forum is being put on by the Peninsula of Mobile,
a nonprofit with a mission to redevelop and protect the
Peninsula's sensitive environment. Their partners had a chance to hear
which candidate will best support their future goals for this area.
Speaker 14 (14:36):
The stimal area history you need is a environmental anomally
and that we really just want to work to protect it,
to preserve it and account ways to continue to work
with the future of.
Speaker 15 (14:49):
Mobile and we want it to grow.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
We will support small businesses.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
This again, this lady, I wish she was doing the news, and.
Speaker 10 (14:58):
We want everything to prosper on DP it used to
be very prosperous and I think it can be that
way again.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
Election Day is coming up on August twenty sixth, and
the last day to register to vote is on August eleventh,
Reporting live and mobile, Claudia Nichols, Fox ten News.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
All right, so the people's concerns are what people's concerns
usually are when it comes to city governments. On Dip,
there are many areas of Mobile. As I mentioned, there's
been a lot of investment, as you've noticed, a lot
of public money as well as private, but a lot
of public money going into Downtown Mobile through the years.
(15:37):
The city's about to spend another bunch of money and
get more grant money for Saint Louis Street, which is
going to be a great project. But there are many,
many neighborhoods, many areas that used to have thriving businesses
that for the last twenty to thirty years have just
gone neglected and have not seen the same love. So yeah,
(15:58):
it'd be nice to have Dip get a lot more love.
And there's many I'm sure we could all come up
with a list of parts of Mobile that could use
some love, just like Downtown has gotten. So speaking of
the mayor's race next week, be tuned into the Uncle
Henry Show a couple of days next week. We are
(16:20):
going to have some interviews with mayoral candidates, at least
with the ones that will return my emails. So next
week some mayor interviews can be heard, some potential mayor interviews,
mayoral candidate interviews. We'll be here on the Uncle Henry
Show here on news radio seventy ten WNTF. Now coming up,
there's more show. We got news headlines coming up and
(16:42):
then more Uncle Henry Show. Got more news items to
get to. Also some wonderful voicemails. I'm so pleased this
has been a wonderful summer for me because I've I've
started to get more pothole voicemails. What a think to
the you know you are out there phoning in with
(17:02):
your voicemails about potholes. Gonna get to some of that
as The Uncle Henry Show proceeds here on news radio
seven to ten WNTM. Now, before we go into the
news break, a reminder that if you want to listen
to previous shows, like yesterday talking about the Mobile City
Council meeting, or maybe you missed one of the recent
exciting snake trapper calls about coach whip snakes, things like that,

(18:33):
Now I mentioned in the last segment of the show,
I've gotten some wonderful calls about potholes, one of my
favorite talk show topics of all time, because mobile is
such a so I guess if you like potholes, this
would be considered paradise. Let me go to the voicemail.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Hey Nellie, you're having a great afternoon.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Hey, listen, I'm really happy you're back on the pothole bandwagon.
It appears maybe the city council is as well. I
called you about a year ago about these routes that
were growing across the Slava Creek Parkway that they kept
(19:20):
rising up and buckling up the asphalt.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Now the Slava Creek Parkway Now is that I'm trying
to figure out what is that time? Is that like
near Sage? Is that in between Sage and bel Air?
Is that where you're talking about I'm trying to picture
is Slava Creek Parkway.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
They kept rising up and buckling up the asphalt. Now
the highest part of the buckles have seventh eight inch potholes.
I'm talking about the depth of it, not the diameter.
If you drove your car through it, it's gonna have
nearly rip your tire off. It looks like about eight
(20:05):
speed bumps in a row. These things are massive, and
now the asphalt is bucklety. I called to you about
this last year and you kind of said, well, I
don't know what to tell you about roots on the ground. Well,
their roots under the asphalt on oat trees are adjacent
to the screet and I mean they are large underneath
(20:29):
this asphalt. I'm kind of reluctant to the w was
saying thing because if they fix that, people are gonna
start speeding up down the Slava Creek Parkway and then
I'll have to deal with the extra added traffic. Right
now they kind of service speed bumps. Well, listen, I
hope you have a great afternoon and road.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Tide road tied row. Pat Nelly, thank you for your
voicemail VOICEMIL number two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. That's two five one two one six nineteen
seventy six. Now, I think I know where you're talking about.
The roots underneath the asphalt, and they've caused that. They
have created a natural speed bump, and I can imagine
(21:18):
the city not doing anything about it because the city
is neighborhoods, especially out in West Mobile. They have been
asking the City of Mobile for more speed bumps. There's
lots of neighborhoods in the City of Mobile that want
more speed bumps in their neighborhoods. There's very much a
(21:39):
war against driving. People just don't want anybody to go
over twenty five miles per hour anywhere, not in neighborhoods.
And so I'm going to guess the city would probably
put this way down at the bottom of the priority list,
because you're right, if they were to fix this, it'd
be only a matter of a few months where somebody
(21:59):
would come in and beg for speed bumps to be
put in the same area that they just had naturally
occurring speed bumps. Pat Nelly, thank you for your voicemail
again the voicemail number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. I have another pothole.
Speaker 16 (22:18):
Call. Hey, good afternoon, Uncle Henry. This is our t
Uh I'm calling today. I have a pothole of word
and UH. This particular pothole has been a boutt a
week since I've noticed it is be this on a
(22:40):
Zellu Road in the northbound lane between Hall's Mill Road
and Government Boulevard. It's approximately a quarter mile within It's
within a quarter mile of Hall's Mill Road driving northbound,
(23:00):
and it lines up just perfect with your front left
tire as you're driving north mount. I know it's there
and I live in the area, but this pinole is
over two feet in diameter and approximately two foot deep
(23:26):
if you're if one of the US citizen drivers hit
its square on, it could be very expensive or somewhat
even dangerous. That could blow a tire to front end damage.
So I just want to alert everybody and on the
(23:48):
after thought, wasn't it not too long ago I sixty
five was repaved? That sure didn't last very long, and
I all so I replaced two windshields during that I
sixty five repaving process, So I'm not very happy about that.
(24:10):
If we're gonna do roll here, we need to do
a better job anyway. Safe driving, roll tide, roll roll tid.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Thank you RT for your report on the pothole on
Azalua Road between Hal's Mill and Government Halls. Miller ninety
uh Artie. I hope you've reported it to the city
because they had their pothole repair truck fixed and they're
out repairing potholes in this run up to the election,
so now is the best time to get a pothole
(24:39):
repaired when people are running for reelection.
Speaker 11 (24:43):
Hello, Color, Hey's Jimmy the Economist.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Jimmy the Economist. You are live on the radio.
Speaker 11 (24:51):
Hey, well listening about these potholes. You know, mobile as
everybody's wears the home of Marti Gral. So you ought
to take some of these throws from these Marti Gral
raids and stick them into potholes. You know, a dragon
or a sword or I don't know whatever they throw
off those things, and then you can give them potholes
a name, and everybody would know the pothole by its name,
(25:15):
as long as you didn't repeat that, you know, throw
pattern or anything. Since everybody's interested in potholes, bring it
to a new level.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
That's that is a great suggestion, Jimmy, think I'm going
to look into this.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Yeah, I just wanted to tell you I'm going to
see Clapton in uh nash Vegas in September, Henry.
Speaker 17 (25:37):
Wow, and we were here.
Speaker 11 (25:39):
We're twenty twenty five. And the first year I saw
him was nineteen ninety and actually it was down there
at the Golf Coast Cosseum about three days after Stevie
ray Vaughn died. But that was in September of nineteen
ninety and I suspect us to be the last time
I'll ever get a chance to see him. Yeah, here
(26:02):
we are in thirty five years later. He's still going.
Speaker 18 (26:09):
So anyway, I just wanted to let you know a
time gets closer, and afterwards, I'll give you a report
on Eric Clapton at age eighty one in Nashville, Tennessee
this September.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
All right, Well, please do let us know I'd like
to hear how the concert goes.
Speaker 18 (26:26):
I will, sir, take care now.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
All right, thank you very much for the phone call.
Jimmy congratulations. I know he's a big fan of Clapton.
Of course I would. I'd be curious about the demographics
of the audience there, what age groups we'll be showing
up to see eighty one year old Eric Clapton in Nashville.
All right, we got about one minute before the break. Caller, Hi, hey,
(26:54):
you are live on the radio.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Oh I want to call her report a pun hole.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Okay, where's the pothole?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
It's on Old Hill Road, near Stage Avenue where Sage
Avenue meets Old Hill Road. Okay, it's about four inches
wide and about three feet long. It's big, but it's
still smaller than your mama's butt.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Crack.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Hey, stop that, you freak sick, disgusting, taking my favorite,
my favorite type of culture about potholes. And then they
found a way to pervert that and ruin that. I
hope you get swallowed by a pothole and never get
(27:40):
out again. Uncle Henry's show. It is five point fifty.
(28:12):
These headlines coming up in ten minutes. Here on the
Uncle Henry show, and then there'll be more show. Now
there's a big national story where the Director of National Intelligence,
Tulsa Gabbard, has been releasing documents. I think they released
(28:35):
some stuff Friday, and they're released more stuff today, and
all of this is showing that the Obama administration cooked
up the entire Russia collusion hoax, that it was all
the creation of the Obama administration. Now, I don't know
(28:57):
that a lot will come of this for a lot
of reasons, and some of them I've already mentioned on
the air. One of them is that a lot of
people are not connecting it. But a lot a lot
of Republicans were in on this as well. In fact,
all of this information was available during the first Trump administration,
(29:20):
but a lot of the people he was working with,
they didn't they were ready to cover it all up.
They didn't want to dig into it. So I don't
have a it's hard to have faith that there will
be any that anything will come from all of these
documents being released, because there's a lot of people in
both political parties that were all up in it. But today,
(29:44):
just for your if you're interested in this kind of stuff,
the stuff they released today about what the Russians allegedly had.
The Russians allegedly, according to these documents, the Russians had
dirt on Hillary that they didn't use in the twenty
(30:06):
sixteen election because they allegedly thought she was going to
win and they were going to wait and release it
to weaken her after she won. Now have you heard
any of these things that they that they had allegedly
on Hillary Clinton. Let me see. I've got a little
bit of this. I'm not going to share all of it.
(30:28):
Tulca Gabbert. There was a press conference today. I think
it was like an almost an hour long, so I
don't have time to get to it. Here, here's a
little bit of Tulsa Gabbert talking about this. I think
we might get to hear some of the Hillary stuff here.
Speaker 19 (30:41):
There was a gross politicization manipulation of intelligence by the
Obama administration intended to delegitimize President Trump even before he
was inaugurated, right, ultimately usurping the will of the American people.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Right. I believe that I'm going to go.
Speaker 19 (30:55):
Over the key findings from the House Intelligence Report.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
House Intelligence Report.
Speaker 19 (31:01):
Which investigated the claims that were made by an intelligence
community assessment ordered by President Obama and published in January
of twenty seventeen. First, Putin's principal interests relating to the
twenty sixteen election were to undermine faith in the US
democratic process, not show any preference of a certain candidate.
(31:21):
In fact, this report shows Putin held back leaking, held
back from leaking compromising material on Hillary Clinton prior to
the election, instead planning to release it after the election
to weaken what Moscow viewed as an inevitable Clinton presidency.
In the January twenty seventeen intelligence Community assessment that President
(31:42):
Obama ordered John Brennan, whose CIA director at the time,
and the Intelligence Community intentionally suppressed intelligence that showed Putin
was saving the most damaging material that he had in
his possession about Hillary Clinton until after her potential and
likely victory. The report goes into great detail about the information.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Please give us some details that.
Speaker 19 (32:07):
Russia and Putin had which on Hillary Clinton, which included
possible criminal acts like secret meetings with multiple named US
religious organizations in which State Department officials offered in exchange
for supporting Secretary Clinton's campaign for the presidency, significant increases
in financing from the State Department.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Now I wonder if any religious organizations will come forward
and say, yeah, we were promised some stuff.
Speaker 19 (32:34):
They also had documents that showed the patronage of the
State Department to State Department employees who would go and
support Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. All right, there were high
level DNC emails.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
That high level DNC emails.
Speaker 19 (32:49):
Detailed evidence of Hillary's quote, psycho emotional.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Problems, psycho emotional problems. So they're claiming that the DNC
people in the Democrat Party were emailing each other Hillary's
psycho emotional.
Speaker 19 (33:02):
Problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness, and that
then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regiment of
heavy tranquilizers. Then CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community
mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious, substandard sources to create
a contrived, false narrative that putin divis.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh, there's there's all kinds of stuff, no time to
get to it all. But it's available of course on
YouTube if you want to watch the press conference with
Tulsa Gabbert talking about all that stuff. Now, I know
that there will be some people that will not believe it,
even if it's there in the documents, and they have
all the emails and stuff because she still has a
lot of fans.
Speaker 17 (33:44):
Yes, Hillary click Jones, they still love.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Her, It says The Uncle Henry Show here on news
(34:33):
Radio seventy ten WNT. I thank you for listening to
The Uncle Henry Show. Now this half hour of show,
I'm gonna get to some news items that I missed.
You may have missed them as well. We can find
out together about these news items. And I may have
time for a voicemail. We'll just have to find out
(34:55):
together as the half hour unfolds before us both. Now,
let's say I got a couple of stories from Fox ten.
I want to mention to you. Now saw that this
week there was a mobile woman in jail, and the
(35:15):
essence of the story is that, well, here's the headline.
This is why I decided to talk to you about this.
The headline on the story from Fox ten is woman
familiar with Metro jail arrested again. All right, how do
you become How does one become familiar with the Metro jail?
(35:36):
Do you just drive by it on your daily commute
or are you more familiar intimately familiar? Well, the story
reads as follows. It reads here, a Mobile woman who's
been in and out of Metro jail for most of
her adult life is locked up again. Carlosa Lofton, age
thirty two, now accused of cutting a woman during an argument.
(36:00):
Mobile Police say the crime happened July eleven and a
parking lot of a Wing restaurant on Government Boulevard. Wing
restaurants known for the excitement they can bring to a community.
The lady is charged with second degree assault. And here's
the reason I had the headline. According to Metro Jail records,
loften And has been booked twenty four times since two
(36:24):
thousand and eleven, twenty four times since twenty eleven. Now,
is there what can we do?
Speaker 17 (36:34):
This is what?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
This is? Where this what would you call this the
revolving door of justice? Is there anything that society can
do when you have individuals that are in jail that frequently,
that are booked that frequently. Now, just because you're booked
(36:54):
doesn't mean you're guilty. You're allegedly innocent until proven guilty.
In the United States of America, if you're lucky enough
to have people around you that still respect the constitution.
I'm sure in many locations around the country. You're not
always assumed innocent, but anyway, so she may not have
been guilty of something twenty four times, but she's been
booked twenty four times since two and eleven. That is
(37:21):
a drain on resources. You've got to have the police
officers to initiate the arrest, then you have to have
everybody involved with the booking, and then they're in the
court system. It costs us money. Having people that have
been booked twenty four times. Twenty four times since two
and eleven. Now twenty four times might sound a lot
(37:42):
to you, but I can remember news stories over the
past ten years where there have been individuals that have
been booked fifty times, sixty times, just in and out,
just constantly getting arrested, put in jail, are out, and
then there's some new something that they're being arrested for.
(38:04):
Is what can society do here? You know, we can
tell if you're arrested and convicted of something that involves
a blankial assault on a child, then we can tell
you where to live. You've noticed this. People commit a
crime of that nature, of a blank old nature with
(38:25):
a child and then they can't live within a certain
number of feet away from a school. They can't live
near this, they can't live near that. They've got to
check in and let the authorities know when they're moving
and all this kind of stuff. When they move into
a new neighborhood, they gotta let everybody know all that
kind of stuff. Why can't we come up with something
(38:45):
similar to that with people that have been arrested and
booked that many times? Now, Again, I understand innocent until
proven guilty, but this is quite a this is a
pattern of behavior. I doubt that anybody is being individually
taughtargeted and police are just waiting to just take them
over and over and over again. What if we set
(39:07):
a number like, let's be generous, Let's say let's say sixty.
I know that sounds like a lot, but hey, we
want to be fair because, as I mentioned, I'll say
it again, sometimes the innocent get pulled in there. You're
not always you're not always guilty when you get pulled
(39:27):
in there. But let's let's be generous, let's say sixty times.
Why can't we pass some kind of a law that
once you've been booked in Mobile County sixty times, then
you must you may not be in the county. You
can't be in Mobile County anymore. You've got to go
(39:48):
live somewhere else. You've got to go to Baldwin County,
Connectu County, Connecta County. They had the sausage. That would
be a nice place to relocate. Just come up with
some kind of law that once you've been booked into
the jail sixty times, you can't live here anymore. We
cannot afford you anymore. You may just have a run
(40:11):
of bad luck where you're being innocent. You're just practicing
your innocent habits out there and police are misinterpreting. Or
maybe the police don't like don't like your looks. Maybe
you've got an anti police tattoo in your forehead. I
don't know what it is. Maybe it's just not but
whatever it is, whatever the reason, if you've been arrested
sixty times and booked under the jail, we're just not
(40:34):
good for each other. You're certainly not good for our system,
and for whatever reason, the system is not enjoying having
you around either. So why can't we have that law
we tell blank you will offenders where they can live,
and all that kind of stuff. Why can't we tell
the repeat person. It's been booked sixty times that you
got to live elsewhere. Your sentence is to live in
(40:58):
some of the county. Why can't we do that? You
are listening to the Uncle Henry Show here on news
Radio seventy ten WNTM. Let's see. I've got other news
items to get to, but before we go to break,
let me go to this. This is a national story.
This has nothing to do with mobile crime or a
revolving door in a jail, or repeat offenders or anything
(41:18):
like that. This is a story I've seen. I saw
this talked about a lot on the x app, lots
of people making jokes about this particular story. And the
story is that Uber is announcing a feature that will
allow women customers and women drivers to not be paired
(41:42):
up with men if they don't want to be. Let's
listen together to the Fox News report on the new
Uber service for women.
Speaker 20 (41:52):
Uber is launching Women Preferences in the US, a pilot
program that aims to give women drivers the option to
request trips with women writers and womens the option to
request women drivers. It will debut in Los Angeles, San Francisco,
and Detroit in the next few weeks. Uber says across
the US, women writers and drivers have told us they
want the option to be matched with other women on trips,
(42:13):
explaining most drivers are men. So we've worked to ensure
this feature was truly usable in different places around the world,
noting we tested, listened, and refined and in markets like
Germany and France. The company goes on to say we'll
continue improving the experience through education, partnerships and features. Christin
Goodwin Fox News.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
Of course, with today's modern politics, I've got a wonder
will there be men that are saying they're women driving
the Uber just I'm cute. Well, I'm just I'm sure
that's the next thing that we'll be hearing about men
(42:54):
posing as women to get the Uber driving. All right,
Hey back with more. I got more stuff to go
over with you after the break. Let's go ahead and
take the break. This says the Uncle Henry Show on
(43:19):
News Radio seven ten WNTM. News headlines coming up in
ten minutes. Before we get there, I've got a news story,
another news story from Fox ten that I missed. I
want to share it with you and with me so
I can learn about it now. Monday night, there was
a stink, A strong unpleasant stank in Westmobile and Midtown
(43:49):
Mobile reported by numerous people. I did not smell it.
I live in Midtown. I did not notice a new stank.
All right, let's listen together. Fox ten with their reporter
Ashling Mitchell, reporting on the stank that offended people in
(44:11):
Westmobile and Midtown Mobile Monday night.
Speaker 7 (44:14):
Yeah, several Mobile County neighbors say they were hit with
a strong, unpleasant odor and it was mainly in parts
of Westmobile in Midtown.
Speaker 8 (44:21):
Our Ashton Mitchell is trying to get to the bottom
of it.
Speaker 21 (44:28):
That was my husband and I arriving to our home
in Westmobile late Monday night and immediately noticing a terrible smell.
Turns out we weren't alone. Social media blew up with complaints,
mostly from Westmobile and Midtown. One person wrote, it's making
me nauseous, saying giving me a headache.
Speaker 15 (44:45):
I can't even walk outside it so bad.
Speaker 21 (44:48):
Another said I thought something died in our backyard and
this one it smells so bad it has made me sick.
One person even wondered if they were going crazy.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
I'm sorry to interrupt the I just I'm wondering if
I'm now immune to powerful stank because I've owned I've
got two dogs that I've owned for numerous years now
and I'm just dealing with them now. They don't smell
all the time, I don't think, but they've been involved
in a lot of stank situations and I might be
(45:19):
immune to powerful stanks. Maybe I can put that on
my resume.
Speaker 21 (45:24):
Deirdre Luni, who lives off Airport and Boulevard, says it
was overwhelming even for her.
Speaker 22 (45:29):
And ever since I had COVID two years ago, I
can't smell anything, so for me to be able to
smell it, it's gotta be really, really bad.
Speaker 15 (45:38):
She chucked her air purifier and what she saw was concerning.
Speaker 22 (45:42):
It went to a hazardous level. It w went up
to four forty two, and I was like, what is
setting the sauce? And I know it works because I've
sprayed chemicals around it just to see and it always
sets it off.
Speaker 21 (45:57):
A few hours later, when the smell cleared, her air,
if you're a fire showed the ear was back to normal.
Speaker 15 (46:02):
So what was that smell? We still don't know.
Speaker 21 (46:05):
The City of Mobile says it never received any official
reports about the smell.
Speaker 15 (46:10):
We also reached out.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
How do you officially report a smell? Is there a
smellsar or a department of stank with the city. How
do you officially report a stank to.
Speaker 21 (46:20):
Ma's and Adam but have yet to hear back? Looney says,
whatever it was, the public deserves answers.
Speaker 22 (46:27):
Surely, if all these regular people are smelling it, the
people in charge of things are definitely smelling it. So
why is no one saying anything even if it's suag
or whatever.
Speaker 4 (46:42):
Nobody should be breathing that In.
Speaker 15 (46:43):
And Mobile Ashley Mitchell, Fox ten News.
Speaker 8 (46:47):
Some people speculating the odor might be from the Poggy
Plant in moss Quite, Mississippi. They make cat and dog
food there. However, a spokesperson says he's surprised the smell
would travel that far and says there haven't been any
recent complaints from locals. Others say the smell could have
been in Grand Bay, and sims two. Of course, we're
gonna keep asking questions to see if you can get
(47:07):
this figured out.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
All right, So there's smell speculation, there's stank speculation going on,
people speculating on the stank source. This reminds me how
many years ago was it do you remember when there
was a neighborhoods in eight Mile that had that horrible odor?
How many years? Well, that was had to be over
(47:29):
ten years ago, right, And I think it was a
mobile gas something to do with mobile gas way out there.
And in fact, let me look, Okay, I've got in
my archives. Let me go. This is a voicemail I
got years ago about a stank that was in eight Mile.
This is from the Uncle Henry Show archives.
Speaker 23 (47:53):
Okay, I just woke up one of my girls house
and I walked out on her patio and here.
Speaker 24 (48:08):
Go again. I say, he gass smell is Uca Henry,
that hormle, nastest stinking smell, smell ling profane gas. Or
somebody left the old nasty gas stove hole on the eye.
(48:28):
You remember that knuncker.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
Indy back by the way, old nasty gas stove. I
love cooking with gas. This is not a commercial for gas.
I just I prefer I do. I prefer gas stove
A in.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
The old days.
Speaker 24 (48:41):
It stinks up here in the Baron Woods.
Speaker 23 (48:44):
Tuker, Henry.
Speaker 24 (48:45):
You know what I think I'm gonna do, ug Inry.
I'm gonna leave ug Henry. She ain't my only gas.
I got two more tuk hery. I don't want to
hear this about my age with these young girls. I'm
kind of like Rush when he come to that.
Speaker 23 (49:02):
I just love him.
Speaker 24 (49:04):
Sat a year.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Younger message dead.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
All right, So some one young woman there lost her
sugar daddy. I guess I shouldn't say that I'm making
an assumption. So a young woman there lost her older
paramour because he did not want to deal with the stank.
These stank was too powerful there where she was living.
So stank is important, and I do hope that we
(49:32):
don't have a repeat stank in the days and weeks
to come in Mobile County. All right, out of time
for this edition of the Uncle Henry Show. I would
like to thank you the listener for being the listener,

five Ksjys Shelby Mitchell remains in the studio. Shelby Mitchell. Hello,
Shelby Mitchell. You've got a busy weekend a head. Tell
the listener what you'll be doing this Saturday.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I'm playing pickleball. I'm not playing You're playing pickleball. Not
playing pickleball. We are a sponsor for the Eastern Shore
Centers first ever pickleball tournament. We've teamed up with Fox

the event at Lote Park and Daphne at eight am
on Saturday. So we're still looking for volunteers. They have

Time Dacres.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
All right, now, I will see you there. I will
not be at the pickleball tournament. Fine, they're in Daphne. Now. Pickleball,
that is something that I'm not really allowed to play,
uh oh, due to my slowness.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
You know, I probably have the same rule, but I
just don't know it yet. I've never tried. I always
wanted to. I love ping pong and I played tennis
years ago, but it was bad on my knees. So
a professional told me I better not try pickleball, but
I might try the slow version. Okay, all right, So
is there a slow version?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Maybe we could do that one I do.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I need to find out about it. All the fun
things that require speed, yes, okay, like basketball. Even as
a short person, I would have had a chance if
I could move, sure, but being short and slow pretty
much eliminated me from a lot of sport.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, let's just go to concerts and then have dakeeries
and invite all of our listeners.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yes, indeed, So pick a Ball tournament Saturday and Daphne's

just be an exciting moment there for Lot Park and
Dafte to have all the celebrities.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
They're playing pick a ball raising money for the arts.
That's the big deal.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay. So that and then Parker McCollum at the Wharf.
That is going to be a wonderful concert for those
of you that listen to country music. He's had some
big hits in the last few years. He has really
taken off very He's he's quite a great writer and
has a great new album out. But I want to
ask about something else music.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Okay, I hope I have an answer, because I don't
know a lot of things, as.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You might be in the right and by the way, listener,
we I am gonna get Once this first segment is over,
there will be talk of the mayor's race. There will
be even some national politics because some documents have been
released lately that are so interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I'm leaving for that conversation, but I want to.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Ask about, uh, you're you might be the right age
group for this. Oh lord, uh the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. Yeah,
because I was shocked that even my own wife texted
me about Ozzy Osbourne when she told me Ozzie's passed us. Yeah,
I thought Ozzie knewsome my own wife. My own wife
(04:21):
was concerned about Ozzy Osbourne and knew all about Ozzie Osbourne.
And then I found out yesterday a lot of the
people that that watched this show on Facebook, they were
all commenting on Ozzy Osbourne. Yeah and all this kind
of stuff, which really shocked me because of the nature
of his Biden heads off of bats and stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I know, I know, I know the same, and you know,
being on KSJ for years and years obviously did not
play him on KSJ. But I mean he's a pop
culture icon.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
He was.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Why yeah, well because he of everything he did. He
you know, was writing heads off and was with the
media personality, and then all the reality show stuff and
the Black Sabbath Day and then uh, but here's the thing.
He raised a lot of money for charities. Okay, oh,
a lot of money, like in the millions.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So a list for all of us if uk Hall of.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Fame and all.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I mean, he was a big, big deal.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
We can learn a lot from this that if you
can dabble in Satanism as long as you raise a
lot of money for charities at some point before you pass.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I think that was mostly a show, I really do.
But but but.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
To your to your generation, yes, sir, which is not mine.
Were you were you into Ozzy Osbourne? Did you listen
to this story now only listening to Crazy Trains.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Some of the crossover, Yeah, I like to that and
uh the Mama, I'm Coming Home. Carrie Underwood has a
great cover of that song. And if Christian carry Underwood
can cover Satanic Ozzy Osbourne, then I think we all
have a chance.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, So we have Carrie Underwood now as our guiding
star on whether or not we can and cannot do things.
That's a pretty good carry Underwood approve of it all.
Just okay, all right? So I was told today got
an email and a fish email that this weekend ninety
six to one The Rocket is doing some type of
Ozzy Osbourne weekend.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, they're having like a tuffer on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Oh both days.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
I think.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So, that's how big Ozzie is. He's getting a tribute
on ninety six to one the Rocket two days in
a row. A lot of fans with lots of life.
If you're one of those folks that just wants to
hear that Ozzie music for the umpteenth time or the moons,
now you'll be able to hear it a lot of
it this weekend on ninety six to one The Rocket. Now,
are they also asking for tributes and things? They're gonna
have people trying to to tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on
(06:33):
the air.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I believe so. And you have to remember a lot
of people love sharing and love the family with all
the reality stuff. So a lot of people are you know,
fans because of the fam, not just because of Ozzie well.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'm one of the I had have artfully dodged the
Osbourne I did.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
That's probably a good idea.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I've dodged the music, of course, because it was loud
and offensive and satanic. Yeah, and I dodged all that.
And then they became TV stars and I tuned in
once to try and figure out why people liked it
and couldn't understand what he was saying. Bless and so.
But you know that's true, it's hard to understand the guy, right, dodged.
I've completely dodged all of it, completely dodged all of it.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I kind of kept up with the Kelly and Jack
and then like the weight loss and then the mental
health issues and it was interesting for a little bit
and then I abandoned it too.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Uncle all right, well this weekend, if you're if you're
one of the uh oh, now I'm getting out. I'm

Hall of Fame twice. Yeah, once for Black Sabbath and

there was a mayoral forum last night at B. C.
Rain High School. Dauphin Island Parkway was a big topic
(10:01):
of the mayoral forum. I'm glad to hear that. I
thought for many years, many decades, I believe that DP
has been neglected by the city fathers and mothers, and
I'm glad to get a little attention on DIP. I've
always Lovedaulphin Island Parkway Back when I was doing the
TV show in late and nineteen eighty nine into the
(10:23):
early nineties, I had a very active fan base for
the Uncle Henry TV show on the Parkway. There were
some nights I would take live phone calls and it
seemed like the only calls would come out of the Parkway.
It was a wonderful thing to feel connected to the
Parkway back in the day. And so I'm glad that
they're getting some attention here with a mayoral forum. Fox
(10:46):
ten did a brief report on the forum. Let's listen
together as to what was talked about on bc Rain
last night.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Well, we were exactly five weeks away from a big
election Mobile.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Yeah, next month, voters are deciding who's the next mayor
for Mobile, and tonight afore I'm at bc Rain High
School gave voters an opportunity to hear from the four
candidates in this race.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Our Claudia Nichols was at the former Claudia. How was
the turnout?
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Well, it was another packed house, Denise and hummeron. And
while some voters say they've already made up their minds,
others are still trying to decide who they want as
Mobile's next leader.
Speaker 10 (11:26):
I think it's important that as Americans we hear what
the people running profits.
Speaker 11 (11:31):
I have to say.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
By the way, I love that lady's accent her voice.
I wish that. I love. Of course, they do a
wonderful job all the TV reporters and anchors here on
the Gulf Coast. But if y'all could just have some
people that sound like this lady on there doing the
news every now and again, I'd appreciate it. I would
feel seen, I would feel represented if you would have
(11:54):
a lady like that. No offense to all the well spoken,
wonderful news anchors and anchor ladies, but if we could
just have somebody that sanadge like, sounds like that lady,
that would just be wonderful.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I would love to see this city actually grow on
a little bit more on like a big metropolitan city,
you know, and like that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I would like a guy like this guy doing the
news as well. Why can't we have anchors that sound
like us and have a strong leader.
Speaker 12 (12:21):
Tonight B c Rains High School auditorium was crowded. With
five weeks to go before the election, candidates made their
case to voters. The four candidates left in the running
are spirou CHERI Gooddess, Connie Hudson, Barbara Drummond and Paul Prime.
And one thing's for sure, voters still want to hear
from these four about which issues they plan to tackle.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
I would like to see it grow more, more job,
more opportunity, reach out to the youth, and help the homeless,
really the homeless.
Speaker 13 (12:52):
What I want to make sure of that that the
whole Mobile, not just West Mobile that they really cleaning
up and taking care of, uh, just the whole Mobile
that is being taken care of, law enforcement and everything.
Is the whole city get the same thing tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
By the way, and I've heard this for many years,
people feeling like somehow West You heard that lady there say,
West Mobile, Why don't they take care of the city
the eastern part of the city the way that western
part of the city is. If you were to if
we were to look at the amount of money spent
(13:32):
in West Mobile versus East of the Innerstate, I wonder
what the wonder what that tale would tell us the
amount of money that has been from every level, from
the federal, state and local tax revenue, the amounts of
money spent in East versus West and you heard that
lady she sent, she sent a little jealous of West Mobile.
(13:57):
I suspect that if we were to look through the
last twenty years and all the money spent, that we
would find a majority over fifty percent of it would
have gone to east of the Interstate. I know that's
a shock thought, but just think about all the money
it's been poured into downtown, just that one area. Just
(14:19):
just some food for thought to the lady there.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Forum is being put on by the Peninsula of Mobile,
a nonprofit with a mission to redevelop and protect the
Peninsula's sensitive environment. Their partners had a chance to hear
which candidate will best support their future goals for this area.
Speaker 14 (14:36):
The stimal area history you need is a environmental anomally
and that we really just want to work to protect it,
to preserve it and account ways to continue to work
with the future of.
Speaker 15 (14:49):
Mobile and we want it to grow.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
We will support small businesses.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
This again, this lady, I wish she was doing the news, and.
Speaker 10 (14:58):
We want everything to prosper on DP it used to
be very prosperous and I think it can be that
way again.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
Election Day is coming up on August twenty sixth, and
the last day to register to vote is on August eleventh,
Reporting live and mobile, Claudia Nichols, Fox ten News.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
All right, so the people's concerns are what people's concerns
usually are when it comes to city governments. On Dip,
there are many areas of Mobile. As I mentioned, there's
been a lot of investment, as you've noticed, a lot
of public money as well as private, but a lot
of public money going into Downtown Mobile through the years.
(15:37):
The city's about to spend another bunch of money and
get more grant money for Saint Louis Street, which is
going to be a great project. But there are many,
many neighborhoods, many areas that used to have thriving businesses
that for the last twenty to thirty years have just
gone neglected and have not seen the same love. So yeah,
(15:58):
it'd be nice to have Dip get a lot more love.
And there's many I'm sure we could all come up
with a list of parts of Mobile that could use
some love, just like Downtown has gotten. So speaking of
the mayor's race next week, be tuned into the Uncle
Henry Show a couple of days next week. We are
(16:20):
going to have some interviews with mayoral candidates, at least
with the ones that will return my emails. So next
week some mayor interviews can be heard, some potential mayor interviews,
mayoral candidate interviews. We'll be here on the Uncle Henry
Show here on news radio seventy ten WNTF. Now coming up,
there's more show. We got news headlines coming up and
(16:42):
then more Uncle Henry Show. Got more news items to
get to. Also some wonderful voicemails. I'm so pleased this
has been a wonderful summer for me because I've I've
started to get more pothole voicemails. What a think to
the you know you are out there phoning in with
(17:02):
your voicemails about potholes. Gonna get to some of that
as The Uncle Henry Show proceeds here on news radio
seven to ten WNTM. Now, before we go into the
news break, a reminder that if you want to listen
to previous shows, like yesterday talking about the Mobile City
Council meeting, or maybe you missed one of the recent

(18:33):
Now I mentioned in the last segment of the show,
I've gotten some wonderful calls about potholes, one of my
favorite talk show topics of all time, because mobile is
such a so I guess if you like potholes, this
would be considered paradise. Let me go to the voicemail.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Hey Nellie, you're having a great afternoon.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Hey, listen, I'm really happy you're back on the pothole bandwagon.
It appears maybe the city council is as well. I
called you about a year ago about these routes that
were growing across the Slava Creek Parkway that they kept
(19:20):
rising up and buckling up the asphalt.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Now the Slava Creek Parkway Now is that I'm trying
to figure out what is that time? Is that like
near Sage? Is that in between Sage and bel Air?
Is that where you're talking about I'm trying to picture
is Slava Creek Parkway.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
They kept rising up and buckling up the asphalt. Now
the highest part of the buckles have seventh eight inch potholes.
I'm talking about the depth of it, not the diameter.
If you drove your car through it, it's gonna have
nearly rip your tire off. It looks like about eight
(20:05):
speed bumps in a row. These things are massive, and
now the asphalt is bucklety. I called to you about
this last year and you kind of said, well, I
don't know what to tell you about roots on the ground. Well,
their roots under the asphalt on oat trees are adjacent
to the screet and I mean they are large underneath
(20:29):
this asphalt. I'm kind of reluctant to the w was
saying thing because if they fix that, people are gonna
start speeding up down the Slava Creek Parkway and then
I'll have to deal with the extra added traffic. Right
now they kind of service speed bumps. Well, listen, I
hope you have a great afternoon and road.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Tide road tied row. Pat Nelly, thank you for your
voicemail VOICEMIL number two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. That's two five one two one six nineteen
seventy six. Now, I think I know where you're talking about.
The roots underneath the asphalt, and they've caused that. They
have created a natural speed bump, and I can imagine
(21:18):
the city not doing anything about it because the city
is neighborhoods, especially out in West Mobile. They have been
asking the City of Mobile for more speed bumps. There's
lots of neighborhoods in the City of Mobile that want
more speed bumps in their neighborhoods. There's very much a
(21:39):
war against driving. People just don't want anybody to go
over twenty five miles per hour anywhere, not in neighborhoods.
And so I'm going to guess the city would probably
put this way down at the bottom of the priority list,
because you're right, if they were to fix this, it'd
be only a matter of a few months where somebody
(21:59):
would come in and beg for speed bumps to be
put in the same area that they just had naturally
occurring speed bumps. Pat Nelly, thank you for your voicemail
again the voicemail number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. I have another pothole.
Speaker 16 (22:18):
Call. Hey, good afternoon, Uncle Henry. This is our t
Uh I'm calling today. I have a pothole of word
and UH. This particular pothole has been a boutt a
week since I've noticed it is be this on a
(22:40):
Zellu Road in the northbound lane between Hall's Mill Road
and Government Boulevard. It's approximately a quarter mile within It's
within a quarter mile of Hall's Mill Road driving northbound,
(23:00):
and it lines up just perfect with your front left
tire as you're driving north mount. I know it's there
and I live in the area, but this pinole is
over two feet in diameter and approximately two foot deep
(23:26):
if you're if one of the US citizen drivers hit
its square on, it could be very expensive or somewhat
even dangerous. That could blow a tire to front end damage.
So I just want to alert everybody and on the
(23:48):
after thought, wasn't it not too long ago I sixty
five was repaved? That sure didn't last very long, and
I all so I replaced two windshields during that I
sixty five repaving process, So I'm not very happy about that.
(24:10):
If we're gonna do roll here, we need to do
a better job anyway. Safe driving, roll tide, roll roll tid.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Thank you RT for your report on the pothole on
Azalua Road between Hal's Mill and Government Halls. Miller ninety
uh Artie. I hope you've reported it to the city
because they had their pothole repair truck fixed and they're
out repairing potholes in this run up to the election,
so now is the best time to get a pothole
(24:39):
repaired when people are running for reelection.
Speaker 11 (24:43):
Hello, Color, Hey's Jimmy the Economist.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Jimmy the Economist. You are live on the radio.
Speaker 11 (24:51):
Hey, well listening about these potholes. You know, mobile as
everybody's wears the home of Marti Gral. So you ought
to take some of these throws from these Marti Gral
raids and stick them into potholes. You know, a dragon
or a sword or I don't know whatever they throw
off those things, and then you can give them potholes
a name, and everybody would know the pothole by its name,
(25:15):
as long as you didn't repeat that, you know, throw
pattern or anything. Since everybody's interested in potholes, bring it
to a new level.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
That's that is a great suggestion, Jimmy, think I'm going
to look into this.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Yeah, I just wanted to tell you I'm going to
see Clapton in uh nash Vegas in September, Henry.
Speaker 17 (25:37):
Wow, and we were here.
Speaker 11 (25:39):
We're twenty twenty five. And the first year I saw
him was nineteen ninety and actually it was down there
at the Golf Coast Cosseum about three days after Stevie
ray Vaughn died. But that was in September of nineteen
ninety and I suspect us to be the last time
I'll ever get a chance to see him. Yeah, here
(26:02):
we are in thirty five years later. He's still going.
Speaker 18 (26:09):
So anyway, I just wanted to let you know a
time gets closer, and afterwards, I'll give you a report
on Eric Clapton at age eighty one in Nashville, Tennessee
this September.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
All right, Well, please do let us know I'd like
to hear how the concert goes.
Speaker 18 (26:26):
I will, sir, take care now.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
All right, thank you very much for the phone call.
Jimmy congratulations. I know he's a big fan of Clapton.
Of course I would. I'd be curious about the demographics
of the audience there, what age groups we'll be showing
up to see eighty one year old Eric Clapton in Nashville.
All right, we got about one minute before the break. Caller, Hi, hey,
(26:54):
you are live on the radio.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Oh I want to call her report a pun hole.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Okay, where's the pothole?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
It's on Old Hill Road, near Stage Avenue where Sage
Avenue meets Old Hill Road. Okay, it's about four inches
wide and about three feet long. It's big, but it's
still smaller than your mama's butt.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Crack.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Hey, stop that, you freak sick, disgusting, taking my favorite,
my favorite type of culture about potholes. And then they
found a way to pervert that and ruin that. I
hope you get swallowed by a pothole and never get
(27:40):
out again. Uncle Henry's show. It is five point fifty.
(28:12):
These headlines coming up in ten minutes. Here on the
Uncle Henry show, and then there'll be more show. Now
there's a big national story where the Director of National Intelligence,
Tulsa Gabbard, has been releasing documents. I think they released
(28:35):
some stuff Friday, and they're released more stuff today, and
all of this is showing that the Obama administration cooked
up the entire Russia collusion hoax, that it was all
the creation of the Obama administration. Now, I don't know
(28:57):
that a lot will come of this for a lot
of reasons, and some of them I've already mentioned on
the air. One of them is that a lot of
people are not connecting it. But a lot a lot
of Republicans were in on this as well. In fact,
all of this information was available during the first Trump administration,
(29:20):
but a lot of the people he was working with,
they didn't they were ready to cover it all up.
They didn't want to dig into it. So I don't
have a it's hard to have faith that there will
be any that anything will come from all of these
documents being released, because there's a lot of people in
both political parties that were all up in it. But today,
(29:44):
just for your if you're interested in this kind of stuff,
the stuff they released today about what the Russians allegedly had.
The Russians allegedly, according to these documents, the Russians had
dirt on Hillary that they didn't use in the twenty
(30:06):
sixteen election because they allegedly thought she was going to
win and they were going to wait and release it
to weaken her after she won. Now have you heard
any of these things that they that they had allegedly
on Hillary Clinton. Let me see. I've got a little
bit of this. I'm not going to share all of it.
(30:28):
Tulca Gabbert. There was a press conference today. I think
it was like an almost an hour long, so I
don't have time to get to it. Here, here's a
little bit of Tulsa Gabbert talking about this. I think
we might get to hear some of the Hillary stuff here.
Speaker 19 (30:41):
There was a gross politicization manipulation of intelligence by the
Obama administration intended to delegitimize President Trump even before he
was inaugurated, right, ultimately usurping the will of the American people.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Right. I believe that I'm going to go.
Speaker 19 (30:55):
Over the key findings from the House Intelligence Report.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
House Intelligence Report.
Speaker 19 (31:01):
Which investigated the claims that were made by an intelligence
community assessment ordered by President Obama and published in January
of twenty seventeen. First, Putin's principal interests relating to the
twenty sixteen election were to undermine faith in the US
democratic process, not show any preference of a certain candidate.
(31:21):
In fact, this report shows Putin held back leaking, held
back from leaking compromising material on Hillary Clinton prior to
the election, instead planning to release it after the election
to weaken what Moscow viewed as an inevitable Clinton presidency.
In the January twenty seventeen intelligence Community assessment that President
(31:42):
Obama ordered John Brennan, whose CIA director at the time,
and the Intelligence Community intentionally suppressed intelligence that showed Putin
was saving the most damaging material that he had in
his possession about Hillary Clinton until after her potential and
likely victory. The report goes into great detail about the information.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Please give us some details that.
Speaker 19 (32:07):
Russia and Putin had which on Hillary Clinton, which included
possible criminal acts like secret meetings with multiple named US
religious organizations in which State Department officials offered in exchange
for supporting Secretary Clinton's campaign for the presidency, significant increases
in financing from the State Department.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Now I wonder if any religious organizations will come forward
and say, yeah, we were promised some stuff.
Speaker 19 (32:34):
They also had documents that showed the patronage of the
State Department to State Department employees who would go and
support Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. All right, there were high
level DNC emails.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
That high level DNC emails.
Speaker 19 (32:49):
Detailed evidence of Hillary's quote, psycho emotional.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Problems, psycho emotional problems. So they're claiming that the DNC
people in the Democrat Party were emailing each other Hillary's
psycho emotional.
Speaker 19 (33:02):
Problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness, and that
then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regiment of
heavy tranquilizers. Then CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community
mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious, substandard sources to create
a contrived, false narrative that putin divis.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh, there's there's all kinds of stuff, no time to
get to it all. But it's available of course on
YouTube if you want to watch the press conference with
Tulsa Gabbert talking about all that stuff. Now, I know
that there will be some people that will not believe it,
even if it's there in the documents, and they have
all the emails and stuff because she still has a
lot of fans.
Speaker 17 (33:44):
Yes, Hillary click Jones, they still love.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Her, It says The Uncle Henry Show here on news
(34:33):
Radio seventy ten WNT. I thank you for listening to
The Uncle Henry Show. Now this half hour of show,
I'm gonna get to some news items that I missed.
You may have missed them as well. We can find
out together about these news items. And I may have
time for a voicemail. We'll just have to find out
(34:55):
together as the half hour unfolds before us both. Now,
let's say I got a couple of stories from Fox ten.
I want to mention to you. Now saw that this
week there was a mobile woman in jail, and the
(35:15):
essence of the story is that, well, here's the headline.
This is why I decided to talk to you about this.
The headline on the story from Fox ten is woman
familiar with Metro jail arrested again. All right, how do
you become How does one become familiar with the Metro jail?
(35:36):
Do you just drive by it on your daily commute
or are you more familiar intimately familiar? Well, the story
reads as follows. It reads here, a Mobile woman who's
been in and out of Metro jail for most of
her adult life is locked up again. Carlosa Lofton, age
thirty two, now accused of cutting a woman during an argument.
(36:00):
Mobile Police say the crime happened July eleven and a
parking lot of a Wing restaurant on Government Boulevard. Wing
restaurants known for the excitement they can bring to a community.
The lady is charged with second degree assault. And here's
the reason I had the headline. According to Metro Jail records,
loften And has been booked twenty four times since two
(36:24):
thousand and eleven, twenty four times since twenty eleven. Now,
is there what can we do?
Speaker 17 (36:34):
This is what?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
This is? Where this what would you call this the
revolving door of justice? Is there anything that society can
do when you have individuals that are in jail that frequently,
that are booked that frequently. Now, just because you're booked
(36:54):
doesn't mean you're guilty. You're allegedly innocent until proven guilty.
In the United States of America, if you're lucky enough
to have people around you that still respect the constitution.
I'm sure in many locations around the country. You're not
always assumed innocent, but anyway, so she may not have
been guilty of something twenty four times, but she's been
booked twenty four times since two and eleven. That is
(37:21):
a drain on resources. You've got to have the police
officers to initiate the arrest, then you have to have
everybody involved with the booking, and then they're in the
court system. It costs us money. Having people that have
been booked twenty four times. Twenty four times since two
and eleven. Now twenty four times might sound a lot
(37:42):
to you, but I can remember news stories over the
past ten years where there have been individuals that have
been booked fifty times, sixty times, just in and out,
just constantly getting arrested, put in jail, are out, and
then there's some new something that they're being arrested for.
(38:04):
Is what can society do here? You know, we can
tell if you're arrested and convicted of something that involves
a blankial assault on a child, then we can tell
you where to live. You've noticed this. People commit a
crime of that nature, of a blank old nature with
(38:25):
a child and then they can't live within a certain
number of feet away from a school. They can't live
near this, they can't live near that. They've got to
check in and let the authorities know when they're moving
and all this kind of stuff. When they move into
a new neighborhood, they gotta let everybody know all that
kind of stuff. Why can't we come up with something
(38:45):
similar to that with people that have been arrested and
booked that many times? Now, Again, I understand innocent until
proven guilty, but this is quite a this is a
pattern of behavior. I doubt that anybody is being individually
taughtargeted and police are just waiting to just take them
over and over and over again. What if we set
(39:07):
a number like, let's be generous, Let's say let's say sixty.
I know that sounds like a lot, but hey, we
want to be fair because, as I mentioned, I'll say
it again, sometimes the innocent get pulled in there. You're
not always you're not always guilty when you get pulled
(39:27):
in there. But let's let's be generous, let's say sixty times.
Why can't we pass some kind of a law that
once you've been booked in Mobile County sixty times, then
you must you may not be in the county. You
can't be in Mobile County anymore. You've got to go
(39:48):
live somewhere else. You've got to go to Baldwin County,
Connectu County, Connecta County. They had the sausage. That would
be a nice place to relocate. Just come up with
some kind of law that once you've been booked into
the jail sixty times, you can't live here anymore. We
cannot afford you anymore. You may just have a run
(40:11):
of bad luck where you're being innocent. You're just practicing
your innocent habits out there and police are misinterpreting. Or
maybe the police don't like don't like your looks. Maybe
you've got an anti police tattoo in your forehead. I
don't know what it is. Maybe it's just not but
whatever it is, whatever the reason, if you've been arrested
sixty times and booked under the jail, we're just not
(40:34):
good for each other. You're certainly not good for our system,
and for whatever reason, the system is not enjoying having
you around either. So why can't we have that law
we tell blank you will offenders where they can live,
and all that kind of stuff. Why can't we tell
the repeat person. It's been booked sixty times that you
got to live elsewhere. Your sentence is to live in
(40:58):
some of the county. Why can't we do that? You
are listening to the Uncle Henry Show here on news
Radio seventy ten WNTM. Let's see. I've got other news
items to get to, but before we go to break,
let me go to this. This is a national story.
This has nothing to do with mobile crime or a
revolving door in a jail, or repeat offenders or anything
(41:18):
like that. This is a story I've seen. I saw
this talked about a lot on the x app, lots
of people making jokes about this particular story. And the
story is that Uber is announcing a feature that will
allow women customers and women drivers to not be paired
(41:42):
up with men if they don't want to be. Let's
listen together to the Fox News report on the new
Uber service for women.
Speaker 20 (41:52):
Uber is launching Women Preferences in the US, a pilot
program that aims to give women drivers the option to
request trips with women writers and womens the option to
request women drivers. It will debut in Los Angeles, San Francisco,
and Detroit in the next few weeks. Uber says across
the US, women writers and drivers have told us they
want the option to be matched with other women on trips,
(42:13):
explaining most drivers are men. So we've worked to ensure
this feature was truly usable in different places around the world,
noting we tested, listened, and refined and in markets like
Germany and France. The company goes on to say we'll
continue improving the experience through education, partnerships and features. Christin
Goodwin Fox News.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
Of course, with today's modern politics, I've got a wonder
will there be men that are saying they're women driving
the Uber just I'm cute. Well, I'm just I'm sure
that's the next thing that we'll be hearing about men
(42:54):
posing as women to get the Uber driving. All right,
Hey back with more. I got more stuff to go
over with you after the break. Let's go ahead and
take the break. This says the Uncle Henry Show on
(43:19):
News Radio seven ten WNTM. News headlines coming up in
ten minutes. Before we get there, I've got a news story,
another news story from Fox ten that I missed. I
want to share it with you and with me so
I can learn about it now. Monday night, there was
a stink, A strong unpleasant stank in Westmobile and Midtown
(43:49):
Mobile reported by numerous people. I did not smell it.
I live in Midtown. I did not notice a new stank.
All right, let's listen together. Fox ten with their reporter
Ashling Mitchell, reporting on the stank that offended people in
(44:11):
Westmobile and Midtown Mobile Monday night.
Speaker 7 (44:14):
Yeah, several Mobile County neighbors say they were hit with
a strong, unpleasant odor and it was mainly in parts
of Westmobile in Midtown.
Speaker 8 (44:21):
Our Ashton Mitchell is trying to get to the bottom
of it.
Speaker 21 (44:28):
That was my husband and I arriving to our home
in Westmobile late Monday night and immediately noticing a terrible smell.
Turns out we weren't alone. Social media blew up with complaints,
mostly from Westmobile and Midtown. One person wrote, it's making
me nauseous, saying giving me a headache.
Speaker 15 (44:45):
I can't even walk outside it so bad.
Speaker 21 (44:48):
Another said I thought something died in our backyard and
this one it smells so bad it has made me sick.
One person even wondered if they were going crazy.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
I'm sorry to interrupt the I just I'm wondering if
I'm now immune to powerful stank because I've owned I've
got two dogs that I've owned for numerous years now
and I'm just dealing with them now. They don't smell
all the time, I don't think, but they've been involved
in a lot of stank situations and I might be
(45:19):
immune to powerful stanks. Maybe I can put that on
my resume.
Speaker 21 (45:24):
Deirdre Luni, who lives off Airport and Boulevard, says it
was overwhelming even for her.
Speaker 22 (45:29):
And ever since I had COVID two years ago, I
can't smell anything, so for me to be able to
smell it, it's gotta be really, really bad.
Speaker 15 (45:38):
She chucked her air purifier and what she saw was concerning.
Speaker 22 (45:42):
It went to a hazardous level. It w went up
to four forty two, and I was like, what is
setting the sauce? And I know it works because I've
sprayed chemicals around it just to see and it always
sets it off.
Speaker 21 (45:57):
A few hours later, when the smell cleared, her air,
if you're a fire showed the ear was back to normal.
Speaker 15 (46:02):
So what was that smell? We still don't know.
Speaker 21 (46:05):
The City of Mobile says it never received any official
reports about the smell.
Speaker 15 (46:10):
We also reached out.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
How do you officially report a smell? Is there a
smellsar or a department of stank with the city. How
do you officially report a stank to.
Speaker 21 (46:20):
Ma's and Adam but have yet to hear back? Looney says,
whatever it was, the public deserves answers.
Speaker 22 (46:27):
Surely, if all these regular people are smelling it, the
people in charge of things are definitely smelling it. So
why is no one saying anything even if it's suag
or whatever.
Speaker 4 (46:42):
Nobody should be breathing that In.
Speaker 15 (46:43):
And Mobile Ashley Mitchell, Fox ten News.
Speaker 8 (46:47):
Some people speculating the odor might be from the Poggy
Plant in moss Quite, Mississippi. They make cat and dog
food there. However, a spokesperson says he's surprised the smell
would travel that far and says there haven't been any
recent complaints from locals. Others say the smell could have
been in Grand Bay, and sims two. Of course, we're
gonna keep asking questions to see if you can get
(47:07):
this figured out.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
All right, So there's smell speculation, there's stank speculation going on,
people speculating on the stank source. This reminds me how
many years ago was it do you remember when there
was a neighborhoods in eight Mile that had that horrible odor?
How many years? Well, that was had to be over
(47:29):
ten years ago, right, And I think it was a
mobile gas something to do with mobile gas way out there.
And in fact, let me look, Okay, I've got in
my archives. Let me go. This is a voicemail I
got years ago about a stank that was in eight Mile.
This is from the Uncle Henry Show archives.
Speaker 23 (47:53):
Okay, I just woke up one of my girls house
and I walked out on her patio and here.
Speaker 24 (48:08):
Go again. I say, he gass smell is Uca Henry,
that hormle, nastest stinking smell, smell ling profane gas. Or
somebody left the old nasty gas stove hole on the eye.
(48:28):
You remember that knuncker.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
Indy back by the way, old nasty gas stove. I
love cooking with gas. This is not a commercial for gas.
I just I prefer I do. I prefer gas stove
A in.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
The old days.
Speaker 24 (48:41):
It stinks up here in the Baron Woods.
Speaker 23 (48:44):
Tuker, Henry.
Speaker 24 (48:45):
You know what I think I'm gonna do, ug Inry.
I'm gonna leave ug Henry. She ain't my only gas.
I got two more tuk hery. I don't want to
hear this about my age with these young girls. I'm
kind of like Rush when he come to that.
Speaker 23 (49:02):
I just love him.
Speaker 24 (49:04):
Sat a year.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Younger message dead.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
All right, So some one young woman there lost her
sugar daddy. I guess I shouldn't say that I'm making
an assumption. So a young woman there lost her older
paramour because he did not want to deal with the stank.
These stank was too powerful there where she was living.
So stank is important, and I do hope that we
(49:32):
don't have a repeat stank in the days and weeks
to come in Mobile County. All right, out of time
for this edition of the Uncle Henry Show. I would
like to thank you the listener for being the listener,
because I need a few of you to survive, and
I could use a few more. As they say in
sair Land, have a good one, is they say in
(49:53):
Theodore Take it easy
