Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Weekday afternoons from five till seven.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh god, Henry, you know what, buddy, you.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Got a line of old school nuts fruitcake they call
your show.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Message deleted.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
This there is the Uncle Henry Show here on news
radio seventy ten wnt L. Thank you so much for
listening to the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate that bear
very much. Once again, here we are together, just me

(01:38):
and you, trying to figure.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Out what is going on?

Speaker 5 (01:42):
What is what is going on in the world around us.
We got so much to get to here on the
Uncle Henry Show today. Telephone number if you want to
jump in tell me something two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. That's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry
at iharm media dot com. So many things going on
on the national level, especially I think this Epstein thing

(02:07):
has passed Congress faster than anything I've ever seen. Has
anything ever passed Congress that fast.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
We'll get to that. We'll get to that I problem.
We'll get to that.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
But today also a mobile city council meeting, Yes, a
Mobile city council meeting today. I've got some coverage of
that for you here on the Uncle Henry Show. If
you want serious coverage, you can watch Fox ten. They've
got coverage there. And if you want good serious coverage,
you can go to Lamyakmobile dot Com is the website

(02:38):
lambyakmobile dot com. They report on today how the Mobile
City Council passed a Vacant Properties Ordinance for downtown Mobile,
trying to trying to do something about buildings being left
vacant for years and fallen down. So they passed that.
Today also the Mobile City Council confirm a new fire

(03:01):
chief and a new public safety director. Now I'll get
to that for you. I will say that the meeting
today was I think less than an hour long, so
well done. Even though there was still unnecessary chatter at
today's Mobile City Council meeting with the politicians talking too much.
Still a brief meeting, and I like that very nice

(03:23):
that they're doing these brief meetings right now. With the
Mobile City Council now in the important business of a
public safety director and a fire chief. The Mobile City
Council unanimously approved and affirmed the recommendations of Mayor Spiro

(03:45):
and so they've got Curtis Graves as the city's executive
director of Public Safety, and they've put Barry Glisten as
chief of Mobile Fire Rescued Department. Now here is Mayor Spiro.
Thank you the Mobile City Council for approving that. So
let's listen together as Mayor Spiro talks about the two

(04:07):
new appointees, the public safety director and the fire chief.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Let's see there we go. Good morning, everybody, Good morning,
Good morning. I want to start today by thanking our
counsel for their thoughtful consideration of two appointments that are
being made today. Public Safety must always be a top
priority for any government, and it is certainly a top

(04:36):
priority for me and my administration, and today we're appointing
two critical positions in that area. Mister Curtis Graves is
a seasoned public safety professional with thirty two years of
experience he has.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
By the way, he was just and I'm sorry for're
interrupting the mayor. Sorry, Mayor, but he described the new
public safety director as being seen. This is good. This
is a good. When people say you're seasoned, that's good,
isn't it. I'm just I'm curious because that's something I
haven't heard a lot over the past few years. And

(05:13):
now I'm hearing it more and more. When somebody will
call you seasoned, is that a better way of saying
that you've been around a long time.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
That you're older. Anyway, he's seasoned. Good for him. He's
seasoned deliciously.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Deep background and investigations, crisis intervention, community engagement, and data
driven crime reduction. He is the right person to lead
our public safety to department, and I am thankful for
his willingness to take.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
On this role.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
Good Chief Barry Glisten is here. He's a veteran and
a longtime employee of the Mobile Fire and Rescue Department.
He has three decades of fire ems, an emergency management experience,
and a strong reputation within the MFRD. Something that I
saw in speaking throughout the campaign and since taking this office.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Now he was there for over thirty years. Is he
also seasoned? Because he didn't say season I'm just curious
how it works.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
Highly regarded by all the men and women of the
Fire and Rescue Department, I know that he will maintain
Mford's very high standards, and I am thankful for these
exceptional leaders, these two great men, and I must tell
you I am excited to get to work with them.
I'm honored to work alongside them, and so I'm thankful

(06:35):
that our council is ready to accept these two appointments.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Very very good.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
So those appointments are there, so we've got that done.
And I believe under the ZOGBIAC the council does have
to approve some of these appointments like those two. Now,
let's see, there were a couple of more things the
mayor told us about at today's Mobile City Council meeting.
One of them is once again more removal of red

(07:01):
lights in downtown Mobile in the name of progress.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
This time tomorrow, the Saint Joseph Street. Saint Joseph Street
will be converted to two way traffic. We're doing that
in downtown, taking down traffic signals, making one ways two ways.
It's all a part of our downtown street optimization plan.
The roadway will be restriped overnight, so hopefully it won't

(07:29):
cause much disruption. But I do want to put that
on your radar. That will be marked on street. Parking
available on both sides of the road there on Saint
Joseph Street.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
All right, So this is another street where there it
is considered optimizing the street by tearing down the red lights.
And I'm sure there was a day back in the past,
years ago where people were so excited when those lights went.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Up, you know that, you know, they were probably gave
us each.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
About how we were we were laboring here in the
in the dark ages of having stop signs.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
We were living.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
It was almost medieval times with these stop signs.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
But now we're gonna have progress.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
We're gonna spend some tax dollars and put up these
these traffic signals, electronic traffic signals with a green light
and a.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yellow light and a red light. We are now living
in the future.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
And so years go by, years go by, and now
it's progress to go back to stop signs. I predict,
as I have in the past, fifteen, twenty twenty five
years from now, they're gonna put them lights back up.

(08:51):
They're gonna tell us how well, look, we finally we
figured it out. Now the best thing is to put
up red lights again.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
That will happen.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seven ten WNTM. Telephone number two five one four seventy
nine two seven two three. That's two five one four
seven nine two seventy two three email address Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. It's five twenty news headlines coming
up in ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Now.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
The last segment of the show is telling you about
today's Mobile City Council meeting. It was brief, which was
a blessing.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Here's one more announcement for you from the mayor, the
new mayor, Mayor Spiro. He's got an announcement about the
lighting of the City of Mobile Christmas tree.

Speaker 6 (10:02):
Do you want to remind everybody My family will be
out there for the lighting of the Christmas Tree. It's
coming up this Friday. It'll be in Marty Gras Park.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
All right. That's this Friday in Marti Gras Park.

Speaker 6 (10:13):
The Christmas tree lighting festivities will start at six pm
with the tree is set to be lit around six
point twenty. We'll see how the crowd is doing. But
please join us, help welcome the Christmas season to our city.
There'll be live music, games, activities, and even I hear
a visit from Santa Claus himself.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
All right, So that is this Friday night downtown Mobile.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Go and enjoy.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
It's important to enjoy these civic functions because number one
reason in my opinion, the number one reason we should
enjoy these civic functions is it's our tax dollar being
it's the tax dollar being just thrown down that drain.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
So go and see go and see.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
You wonder where's my tax dollar go, especially when you
live in in a neighborhood with a lot of go
down there and see the live music and all this
kind of stuff, and then you'll know, you know where
the tax dollar goes. Anyway, that is from today's Mobile
City Council meeting. Uh, there was more to it. If
you want to watch it, you can see it on
YouTube City of Mobiles YouTube page. The city council still,

(11:18):
I would characterize them as all being almost giddy after
winning re election. Everybody's still in a good mood. There's
still this honeymoon phase. All the city council people are
joking around with each other, just having a wonderful.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Time there on the tax dollars.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
So that's all available for you on the YouTube on
the City of Mobile's YouTube channel. Now let's move on
from that unless you've got something you want to say
about the council meeting two five, one, four, seven nine,
two seventy two three. I will say that they had
a couple of public hearings. I think citizen activist Reggie Hill,
I think he spoke it. I think he spoke either

(11:57):
two or three times today. So if you're a big
fan of his, you'll enjoy the mining's I think he
spoke two or three times today again. Two five to
one four seven nine two seven two three the telephone
number here on the Uncle Henry Show. Now, there's been
a big news story going on for quite a while
with the Epstein list and the House. Today House of

(12:20):
Representatives voted almost unanimously yes to release the Epstein stuff,
all the Epstein files.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
This would be.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
The Republicans and the Democrats voting together. There was only
one no vote and it was a Republican in Louisiana.
Everybody else was yes, and I think there was four
or five that didn't vote for whatever reason. So is
there any other issue that they agree on like this?

(12:51):
Even though people seem really mad about it, still that
level of near unanimous voting to get this thing past.
And then it goes to the Senate. And I was
confused right before I came on the air today. I
think the Senate voted to pass it before it got there. Yeah,

(13:13):
they you know they you know how these things work.
The legislation goes from the House to the Senate. Usually
they'll tinker with it and vote on it and then
send it back to the House and nothing. From what
I understand, they voted to pass it before it even
got to them at the Senate. So, listener, what, yeah,

(13:38):
I know you're seeing a lot of experts all over
social media. There's all kinds of experts talking about this,
speculating on it. You're seeing people talk about it on
the TV networks with their own.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Opinions on this.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
I would ask that you, the listener, the ordinary person
that's not a talking head on TV or on social media,
ask you that you would apply your common sense to this.
Why do you think now?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
What's what is it? Now?

Speaker 5 (14:08):
You know this is we're seeing both houses of Congress.
There was one no vote both houses of the Senate
and the House. Let's get this out.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Why why now do you think?

Speaker 3 (14:24):
You know?

Speaker 5 (14:25):
They've had this information for quite a while. We've been
hearing about it for quite a while. They certainly had
it over the last all the years of the Biden administration.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Apply your common sense and don't tell me, Well, we
can't possibly know down here in South Alabama.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Why wouldn't we know about it?

Speaker 5 (14:49):
I think only our common sense is going to figure
this out at this point, don't you think?

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (14:55):
In all the the angst and anxiety about releasing the files,
do you really think it's about names on a list?
I mean, if your name, if you were rich and
powerful enough to be invited on the jet, and rich
and powerful enough to go to the island, by now,

(15:18):
wouldn't you have figured out a way to get out
of it?

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Think about it? By now, you'd figure something out.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
And if you couldn't get out of it, you would
have already had you would have already changed your name
and been living in bf E somewhere. You really think
there's names, You think there's people that are going to
go down because of this. Don't you think they've figured
it out by now? Somebody that would be on that list?

(15:47):
You don't think they've figured out how they to deal
with it?

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Two five, one.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Four seven nine, two seven two three The telephone number,
Hello caller, Hey sir, who else you are?

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Live on the radio?

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Okay? Hell this these people just tip Amon death. They
spent maybe a billion dollars on illegals and healthcare when
they just let them come across.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
The board illegally, Right, Why I.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Didn't the Democrats think about showing up Obamacare and all
of this stuff before this happened. They had to know
that the influx like of twenty million, maybe nineteen millions
illegal aliens coming over here with any number of diseases
and uh other causes, you know, other symptoms that they

(16:46):
might have that they didn't say, let's put a little
bit of this money back in the Obamacare code next year.
It's gonna so. And then they tell you fifty million
people on diack or they don't have. You wasn't worried
about it when you were spending all that money, sending
it all over to other countries to get people's sneak

(17:08):
cut off. You're right, It's amazing how stupid they think America.
People like just like my uncle said, some them damn food,
believe it you have Bloodale gain.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
Well, thank you very much for your phone call. Yes,
the healthcare thing, many people have said it before me,
but more now than ever before, it all looks designed
to fail. There's more to come, There's a lot more

(17:43):
to get to as The Uncle Henry Show continues, but
first traffic and words from our sponsors and news headlines
are next.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
This is the Uncle.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Henry Show here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. You
can also hear me playing country music on FM radio.
I can be heard Monday through Friday on ninety five

one fifteen tomorrow afternoon on ninety five KSJ. Tune into
KSJ tomorrow at one point fifteen for your chance to

(19:03):
win them tickets. Two five, one four three the telephone
number here on the El Climbery Show. Now we talked
about the uh, the Epstein files and all of this
tremendous energy just all of a sudden, got to release
them as quickly as possible. After having all of these
files for years and years and years and years, hearing

(19:24):
about them for years and years and years and years.
Now we got to release them. I did get a
voicemail on the topic and.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
This here's beer. Anyway, I guess they're going to release
the Epstein files. It's took an Act to Congress literary
to do that. Eata huh. I mean, really, does anyone
believe that all the important bajillionaires and politicians and federal

(19:55):
judges that were actually, you know, going to Epstein and
messing with them children? Does anyone actually believe their names
still on that list? I mean they've had how long
they had to completely scrub it?

Speaker 5 (20:11):
Yeah, and be Ford, I'm pausing you there just to
say I don't I'm I'm with you on this.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
What they've had a they've had a while.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
And these are these are people that, as I mentioned earlier,
if you got invited on the jet, you probably had
you had money or or some very good skill or
really good connections in addition to having a proclivity for
young women. So any of the people that were on
there have figured by now, they've figured something out. Plus,

(20:44):
on a related note, have you heard any of the
news stories in the last month where we've heard that
the members of the Trump administration have found files that
they've gone into some office and they found files that
are hidden away in burn bags that reveal this, that

(21:06):
and the other. These shocking things that they found, these
shocking files and these special bags and these different offices,
these hidden file cabinets.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
We found.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
We found some files in a file cabinet. Look at this,
It was in a burn bag. If you were in
a high government position and you were doing something bad,
and you and there was some document that could show
that you were treesono us or you broke a fifteen

(21:39):
laws or something, would you just would you put it
in a bag and then put it in a closet
and leave it up there and hope no, just hope,
So just keep your fingers crossed and nobody finds it.
Hope they don't go in that room. Let's put it
in the janitor's closet, in a burn bag under the bucket.
Let's just hope they never picked that bucket up. You

(22:00):
really do you really think? Do you buy any of that?

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (22:04):
Yeah, they did some treason of stuff and we found
we found the treason bag. It was right behind that door.
Or anyway, back to Beauford talking about the Epstein file.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
I mean they've had how long they had to completely
scrub it and delete all evidence of all important peoples, right, Henry,
I don't know if I don't even believe anything that's
put out, and that's probably what they want. I'm probably
following down the design of the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
But oh, you, we've been duped.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
You and I have both bought you and I are
both duped now by this holly day.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
I mean, I just assume that every high level politician
and judge and billionaire is an evil, degenerate piece of garbage.
I would be surprised if a federal judge bo jillionaire
was not a pedophile. I'd be surprised if Bill Clinton

(23:04):
wasn't molesting young girls. I mean, my gosh, when you
get to that level, you are sure enough evil to
begin with to get there. Anyway, Henry, we'll see how
this fiasco goes, all.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
Right, be for thank you for sharing two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. The telephone number
that's two five one four seven nine two seven two
three email address, Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. So what now, the speaker
of the House today, Mike Johnson, even.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Though he voted yes, he.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Held a press conference where he was really mad. He
seemed to be very upset talking about making sure that
these things are redacted because of sources, intelligence sources, and
it could impact the work of agencies that these documents
come in. We've still got to redact a bunch of

(24:06):
stuff in there. Please, We've got to redact all this stuff.
What would be the worst What could be the worst
thing that would be released? Now, if it's about any
one government official, that'd be really bad for that government official,

(24:28):
it be really bad for we'd all we'd all think
ill of them, but we could we can move on
from that pretty quickly. If it's just some government government
officials or just some really powerful rich people, we can
move on from that. What would be the worst thing

(24:50):
that would be in them files? I'm thinking about The
worst thing would be what it would?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Would it? Would it?

Speaker 5 (24:59):
Would the worst thing be that Epstein was uh working
for the government. I think that would probably be the
worst thing, wouldn't it if he were If we found
out that he was, that they knew all along, government
knew all along what was going on, and just decided, well,
we don't want to be we're just going to turn

(25:20):
the other way because he's he's working for us or
something like that. That would that would be the worst thing, right, Well,
everybody's voting to almost everybody's voting to release it, so
we'll all see. I guess we'll all find something out now,
whether if it's the truth, who knows if it'll be

(25:41):
the truth, But I guess we'll find something out here
coming up two five one four seventy nine two two
three the telephone number here on the Uncle Henry Show.
Let's see, I've got another voicemail voice find number two
five one two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two
five one two one six nineteen seventy six to leave
a message for the Uncle Henry schell.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Let me go to the voice, ma'am go tired.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Uh huh, I'm a confession to make to you who.
In my personal opinion, last Friday's program was one of,
if not the best of the year. Again, that's my
personal opinion. Now, my if I were wearing one, it's
inside the house and I'm not going to get up

(26:23):
and go get it. If I were wearing a hat,
it would be off to you. I've gone back and
listened to that not once, but two different times. This
segment where you called and then Norman and I ain't
lol like that and I couldn't tell you when. Man,

(26:43):
that was some good stuff.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
And I'm pausing there, just sixty eight year old Chrystal
Rush like, so you're claiming that that last Friday show
was the best of the year, even though I was
under I was under filth. It was a filthy attack.
It was filthy.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Quality radio there, it was on quality. I know you
were embarrassed by whatnot, but hey, goes what's territory right?

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
It does. Oh I've never heard anybody call this.

Speaker 5 (27:16):
I've never heard anybody call uh, the Sean Hennity Show
and talk about him being naked.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
It was just nice to have you. Of course you
got a little bit of what one of your racial
digs in there matter what guy getting a three year
contract or something along them line. But that was that
was that was good stuff.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Keep it up, all right?

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Well, I hope not you know six Look sixty here
year old Chris. I'm glad you're I'm glad you're a listener,
and that you would listen to the Uncle Henry Show
as a podcast, but but that was not I don't
want to have shows like that where people people calling in.
You think it's great to have people call in and
and insult my naked by me, which they should never

(28:01):
be thinking about. All right, That podcast available on the
iHeartRadio app. Uncle Henry's Show, lcle Henry Show continues on

(28:38):
News Radio seventy ten WNTM. It's five point fifty news
saidlines coming your way in ten minutes. Telephone number two
five one four seven nine two seven two three. That's
two five one four seven nine two seventy two three.
Now there's lots of new social media. I wanted to

(29:01):
tell you about a couple of what I think are
ridiculous social media trends. And I've noticed this over the
past few years that the younger generations get on social
media like TikTok, and then they come up with these
ideas and they spread like wildfire, and these young people
act like they've discovered something new and something important. For example,

(29:27):
there's a trend now on TikTok called the potato bed. Now,
this is where you take a fitted sheet and you
put it on your bed upside down and you stuff
the edges of the fitted sheet with pillows and blankets

(29:50):
and fill the center with more blankets and you get
inside of it like you're going inside of a baked potato.
They're calling it a potato bed, and this is sweeping TikTok.
People are acting like it's genius. All it is is
wrapping yourself up in a blanket. But this is new

(30:15):
because it's called the potato bed. You want to impress
your young relatives, potato bed yourself in front of your
twenty something year old at the holidays. They'll think your
hip the potato bed. Now, this is stupid. I've got
a stupider example for you. This is a new social

(30:39):
media trend. This is sweeping social media. It is a
practice to fight your anxiety. If you have a lot
of anxiety in your life, and there's of course more
of it after the whole COVID thing. So this new
trend sweeping social media to help you combat your anxiety

(31:01):
is called dark showering. Now, dark showering is taking a
warm shower in the dark. Yes, this is taking a
shower in the dark, or for safety purposes, putting a

(31:24):
night light in your bathroom. Said, there's just a little
bit of light in there. But it's called dark showering,
and this is spreading all over social media. And let's see.
One psychologist says that showering in the dark. Dark showering

(31:44):
lowers the visual stimulation in your mind, which can help
the nervous system calm down. They say, yes, they're saying
it could calm your nervous system down. Some people find
at ease as racing thoughts, and it may calm the
nervous system to do dark showering. And so this is spreading.

(32:11):
People are telling each other, you.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Know what you ought to do.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
You're all nervous, you're all wound up. You should look
into dark showering, where you turn the light off while
you're showering. Now, I don't think there's anybody any young
people listening right now, unless they're being forced to listen
by an older relative. If you are, though, and you

(32:35):
want to try this next time you take a shower,
close your eyes.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah, yeah, just close your eyes.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
You want if you're worried about if you're worried about
your nervous system getting too much stimulation in my mind,
my eyes are getting I'm getting too much visual stimulation
in the shower.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
I can't calm down? Well, don't.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
You don't have to get a night light for your shower.
You don't have to turn the light out and shower
in the dark and risk some type of terrible orthopedic injury.
Close your eyes.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's all you got to do. Just close your eyes.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
That way, Maybe you can calm your nervous system down
by just shutting your dad got eyes for a few minutes,
if that's.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
All it takes.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
I know that's not as much fun as dark showering
and maybe posting some picture or video on social media
of your darkened shower claiming that you've calmed your mind down.
Come up, let's come up with a name. What can
we call this? Instead of dark showing, what can we

(33:55):
call closing your eyes in the shower? Can it be
called taking a normal shower? I guess it needs a
better name than that to catch on. But anyway, dark showering.
Instead of looking for a better way to live on

(34:17):
social media, ask an older relative. Just ask an older
relative for some advice that's going to give you way
more better advice than looking at some idiot on social
media that thinks turning the light off in the shower

(34:38):
is going to ease your mind.
