Speaker 2 (01:02):
This is the Uncle Henry's Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you so much. I appreciate very
much listening to the Uncle Henry Show. The job still.
I know it's a shock to you that I'm still here,
but I am. I'm still here. Thank you to iHeart Media. Yes,

(01:28):
thank you to iHeart Media, Ronnie Bloodworth, all the sponsors
of the Uncle Embers Show. Thank you for providing me
with yet another hay check period. Once again, it's just
me and you, Me and you trying to figure out
what is going on in the world around us. What's

(01:49):
going on in the world around us? Well, today there's
so much. There's always a bunch to talk about here
on the Uncle Embers Show today, very much a bunch
of stuff to talk about, quite a bunch of stuff,
including today's mobile city council meeting. Now, ordinarily the council
meetings are torturous for me because I've watched too many.
You know, even a good thing. If I'm going to

(02:13):
make that stretch that sometimes these meetings can be good.
Even a good thing can be bad if you have
too much of it, If you eat too much ice cream,
you can make yourself sick and over bees. And I'll
look at the city council meetings that way. After years
and years and years of watching or listening or reading
about or even attending, and I've about had my limit

(02:33):
on these things, to be blunt with you, but today
I've never seen or heard something quite like this. I've
heard some wild things. I've seen some wild things today.
Somebody from Baldwin County suspended from attending future meetings because

(02:55):
they would not stop interrupting. The meeting was over a
benign thing, the council voting unanimously to rename one block
of MLK Avenue to honor the late Representative James Busky.

(03:16):
James Busky, he was in the legislature. I guess he
was in there for something like forty years now. I'm
sure I didn't agree with all of his votes, but
I know that he was a great guy. He was
a nice guy. Hard to find somebody to say something
bad about him. But someone showed up at the meeting

(03:37):
and did not think that one block should be honorarily. Now,
they weren't changing the name of the road. This was
an honorary thing where they just put a street sign
up that says honorary. You know, it's James Busky Way
or whatever they're gonna call it. So let's listen together.
This lady would not stop talking, and and God suspended.

(04:03):
Let's listen.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Resolution passed.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Well, right now, So the lady is are talking all
you can't hear what she's saying. She's off microphone and
off camera.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
This is a meeting. It's not time for you to talk, no, ma'am, ma'am. President, ma'am.
One more outbursts. Were gonna suspend you for thirty days,
was president. One more outbursts. You're gonna be suspended for
thirty days, Miss President, missus Carroll.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Right now, she now I edit here, William Carroll explained
to the people at the meeting at anybody watching, UH,
the accomplishments and why people like James Busky so much.
And I agree with everything William Carroll had to say,
but for UH, to make sure I had time to
play all this, I did edit out a lot of
what William Carroll had to say. You can go watch

(05:03):
it on the City's YouTube channel. Let's pick up back
with the lady not shutting up.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Let me provide some clarity on the MLK Honorary Street renaming.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, there's Mike's.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Well deserved to have mister Busky's name.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Excuse me not mister, That's where I had to cut
it down.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
But Representative James Busky's name honorarily placed on one block
of the MLK Street. A matter of fact, the street
and area where he grew up on that he came
out of the bottom. Matter of fact, the street that
he walked as a child, and matter of fact, the
street that he helped again place one of the most

(05:44):
effective clinics that we've had in the city for minorities.
Thank you, mister Preston.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Hey, ma'am, if you can, she will not stop. You
already have sixty days.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
She's already suspended for sixty days.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
One more outburge some I asked the administration to move.
You make sure that we suspended for ninety days.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's the state ninety days. Five minutes of they're they're
ready to stop the meeting because from a lady has
somehow gotten to the point where they're going to stop
everything and just going to recess.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Turned that.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Yeah, Miss President, I make a mission that we recess
for five minutes, Mister President, Mister Daves.

Speaker 7 (06:44):
I frankly am surprised that we would have any objection
to renaming a portion of the street in honor of
Representative Buskie, who served his district, his home city, Mobile,
State of Alabama with great over a number of decades.
I'm frankly appalled that there's any discussion at all with respectiveness.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Mat Clerk, make sure they should get a letter for
suspension for ninety days.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
What's that she does not have an actress?

Speaker 3 (07:16):
What we're with work work on that, mister Carroll. I
apologizing anything else with Carrol.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
No, mis President. It was just an honor to rename
just this one block after such an esteemed gentleman from
the city of Mobile and already had done to make
sure that we had medical attention in neighborhoods that were underserved.
I appreciate your time, and I appreciate everyone's vote on this.
As I said, when you're familiar with the district and

(07:42):
you're familiar with the people that live in it, and
you know what the people that live in it do
to support our community, then it's an honor to not rename,
but have an honorarium on this spot for mister Busky.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
So I couldn't figure out who it was. Land yamp
Landyatmobile dot com they say that it was Marion Das,
who lives in Foley but is saying that she's running
as a right in candidate in the Mobile mayoral race.

(08:17):
So now that's I'm trying to think, what is the
what is the proper characterization of this? Somebody somebody driving
over from Foley to object to the City of Mobile
renaming one block of a street in an honorary fashion
for a deceased state legislator, and it happens to be

(08:43):
a lady who is running a right in campaign for
mayor of Mobile. I'll have more after the break, it

(09:12):
says the Uncle Henry Show on News Radio seventy ten WNTM.
It is five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Now.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
In the last segment of the show, I shared with
you the audio from today's Mobile City Council meeting where
a woman identified by Lanyap landyapmobile dot Com was disrupting
the meeting. The woman identified by Landyap as Marion Dias
of Foley, Alabama. Now, she was objecting to the one

(09:52):
block of MLK Avenue being honorarily named after state Representative
of James Busky who passed away, and the woman would
not stop talking and ended up getting suspended or banned
from the Mobile City Council meetings for ninety days, which

(10:14):
for many people they would consider that a wonderful thing
to be banned from the meeting for ninety days, But
I guess not if you want to go. Now, Lanyap
describes Merendice as living in folly, but claims these are
the words of Lanyap quote, but claims she is running

(10:34):
as a write in candidate in the Mobile may or
race end quote. Now, first of all, you can't run
as a write in candidate in a Mobile municipal election.
You can write in votes in federal elections, and you

(10:54):
might be able to do it in something that's just
a state election. But in the mobile municipal elections, you
cannot write candidates in. They don't have an avenue for it.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I know this because I have tried to run as
a writing candidate myself. Because throughout the years of hosting
the Uncle Henry Show, there have been times, especially during
the now years, where people were just begging me to run.

Speaker 8 (11:22):
Why.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
I don't know. Maybe they couldn't make good decisions whatever,
Maybe they had trouble figuring out what was good for
the city. But anyway, I was encouraged many times, and
I found out that you can't. This is one election
where you can't write somebody in. You can't suddenly come
up with an idea like, you know what, who should
really be mayor? You can't doesn't work that way, at

(11:46):
least not in the mobile municipal election. So you cannot
really run as a writing candidate. And if she, now,
if she is who I think she is, she and
her family deep times in Baldwin County, the lady that

(12:07):
was thrown out of the meeting and suspended for ninety days.
The first time I believe I met her, I was
doing the Uncle Henry show Morning show over at LA
Subs in Malbous back in the day. Once a month
I would do the Uncle Henry Show at LA Subs

(12:28):
on location, and I would interview Baldwin County politicians and
other people while I'm there at this gas station sub shop,
which was always just a wonderful, rustic atmosphere for a
political interview. I think I interviewed both Jim zig Ziggler

(12:49):
and his wife there as he ate biscuits. Well, I
met her there. I believe I met Mary and Dye there.
You got upset with me because I would not interview her.
And the reason I didn't interview her is because at
the time she announced she was running for president of

(13:11):
the United States. And maybe that would have been a
good interview. Maybe you would have loved that interview. Maybe
it would have been quite a memorable interview to interview
a lady in Balwin County that was one of for
president of the United States and had no shot under
any circumstance of ever achieving the office. But at that

(13:33):
time I did not want to interview somebody that really
didn't have a chance. I just maybe I should have
done it. Maybe I should have interviewed her, and then
i'd have a better instinct on what to think about
all this story. But that's where I met her. Now

(13:55):
I think her son, if this is who I'm thinking of.
I think her son ran for Congress against Bradley Burn,
and I did interview him, and he was at the
time the polls were showing an overwhelming win by Bradley Burn,
and I believe he was trying to the son was

(14:16):
trying to convince me that was all just that was
all fake news, and he was really going to come
from behind and win. Now, if I understand, if I
understand correctly, I think her son also ran for president
at some point. So anyway, just a little background on
where the lady comes from. And I believe the Sun

(14:36):
is also run for County Commission in Balwing County, So
there's a lot of running for office there in the family.
And she may encourage it as somebody who's run for
president and now lowering her sights to run as a
writing candidate in the Mobile mayoral race. But as I
mentioned to you before, writing candidates not allowed in the

(14:56):
Mobile municipal election. So I guess maybe we can expect
a little more of this. I wonder if she's showing
up at the forums trying to get in on the forums.
But anyway, that was from today's Mobile City Council meeting.
A little out of the ordinary. Somebody so disruptive that

(15:18):
they had to be escorted out and has been suspended
for ninety days in the race. Let's see before I
go to break, is there anything else from the council
meeting that I can tell you about. I'll tell you this.
We've had a couple of calls this week from a
man who calls himself the Bama bush Hog with his

(15:41):
Mobile Pirate Radio podcast that you can find on Facebook,
Mobile Pirate Radio or on YouTube. And the man called
in the Bama bush Hog called in a couple of
days in a row talking about the Crescent Theater and
something going on, some kind of dispute at the Crescent
Theater that I could never quite follow during his phone calls. Well,

(16:04):
that topic got discussed at length at today's Mobile City
Council meeting, with one man who's trying to run the
Crescent Theater showing up to talk about his experiences. And
then Sabrina Mass got up and spoke for three minutes
about the Crescent Theater and this man. She claims that

(16:25):
the man who's currently trying to run the Crescent Theater
is being blocked by racists or a racist, And then
the city Council needed to get a clarification from the
city attorney to make sure that the City of Mobile
has nothing to do with the Crescent Theater. So it
was a if you're interested in all of that, go

(16:45):
find the Mobile City Council YouTube channel and you can
watch all of that. It was quite a bunch of
Crescent Theater talk that had nothing at all to do
with the city business, but it was right there in
the middle of the Mobile City Council today. And also
news out of the council meeting today they announced the

(17:06):
retirement of the Mobile Fire Rescued Chief Johnny Morris, Johnny Morris,
who's been with the city I think they said thirty
or thirty five years. His retirement was announced today and
they paid brief tribute to him in the great work
he has done for the City of Mobile. So all
of that out of today's Mobile City Council meeting, as

(17:30):
I mentioned, you can look at all of it on
the YouTube channel. You can read a write up on it.
Landyapmobile dot com has more details on that and other
things that happened at the council meeting. We have news
headlines next, and then back with more Uncle Henry's Show.

Henry at iHeartMedia dot com two five one four seven
nine two three the telephone number to call the Uncle
Henry Show.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Hello Coller, Hey over hen how you doing.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'm good, snake trapper? You are live on the radio.

Speaker 8 (19:33):
Hey over Henrad.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
That's your snake story, buddy.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
All right, let's hear it.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
There was a fellow cleaning out his boat getting ready
to sell it, and come across the snake, and he
sent me a picture of for an identification over Henry
wind up being a Dane coachwip. Now that snake is
a native to this area, and now they are very rare.
Probably hadn't seen one in uh probably about seven or

(19:59):
eight years. Uh, But it was definitely a coach whip.
The way I identified it is because the first third
of its body was kind of real dark, and as
it as it progressed down its body, it lightens up
and actually looks like a whip. Now there's a myth
that that snake will run you down, wrap around you,
and whip you with its tail.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, it is all.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
It is all a myth on her. They call it
the coach whip because the snake is a long and
very slender and uh, if it's laid out straight up
and down over Henry, it looks just like a whip.
So that that's how it uh, that's how it acquired
that name coach whip. So uh. But man, I was
happy to see it over Henry because, like I said,

(20:44):
it's been seven or eight years since I've even seen
that species in this area, and it is known to
be in this area from northern Mexico all the way
to the east coast of Florida. So uh, I don't
know if the population of them are been declining the
years or what have you, but man, it was a
it was a real pleasure to actually get to see

(21:05):
a picture of one of them in our area.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
So well, congratulations, congratulations, uh that you were able to
have that pleasure of seeing a coach whip.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
Uh. Yes, they're over Henry in two. This this weather
over the next month and a half is going to
continuously getting hotter, and the snake was probably in there
seeking shelter, trying to find a cool spot in the
coveyo of the man's boat. So this over the next
month don't be surprised if you hear that somebody hadn't
found one in their toilet or are actually in their

(21:38):
house where it's went through their drive event because they
are looking to cool down this time of year, So
just be aware.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
All well, and hey, please any more of these these
type stories please phone them in. People love hearing about
the the discovered rare snakes in their boats.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Yes they're over here. Like I said, if anybody ever
comes across one, it is a myth. It will not
chase you down and beat you with its tail. It
just actually looks like a whill.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
That's good to know.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
You take care of my body.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
You too, Thank you Snake Trapper for your phone call.
Hello color right, let me trust the right button here,
Hello caller.

Speaker 8 (22:16):
Good anything Uncle Henry.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Bert Bert, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 8 (22:22):
First of all, I want to wish your happy birthday
to be Graves.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Oh it's his birthday, the talented musician B Graves. Yes, well,
happy birthday to be Graves. What a great musician.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
And Uncle Henry. On August sixteenth, there's going to be
a benefit at the Blues Tavern for a bass player
that I've played in bands with for many years. Yeah,
I don't know for sure whether my band is going
to be playing that day. I'm going to find that
out over the next couple of days. But there is
no cover charge at the Blues Tavern, so I'd like

(22:58):
to let all your listeners know sixteenth to have this benefit.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
All right, very very good. Hey call again before then
so we can keep people reminded about it.

Speaker 8 (23:08):
I will for sure, ok, Henry, and thank you for
taking the call.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
All right, well, Bert, thank you for listening. Thank you
for making the phone call. Bert. Bert's sounding better than
ever these days. Let's see before I go any further
that a shocking text today from my wife. My wife
texted me today. I was in a business meeting with

(23:34):
John McNeil of Mobile Bay Financial Solutions in Virginia O'Brien
of Mobile Bay Financial Solutions, and right at the conclusion
of the meeting, I got a text from my wife.
This is something that I'd never expected to receive in
text message. I just would never expect this to come
from my wife. The text reads. The text reads, Ozzie

(24:07):
is dead at seventy six. That is the text I got,
Ozzie is dead at seventy six, And first thought that
came into my mind was Ozzie Who Ozzie newsom So
I had to ask, And what a shock to find

(24:28):
out that I've married a woman that is concerned about
Ozzie Osbourne. But yes, if you're a fan of Ozzy Osbourne,
condolences to you on the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. Now,
I of course can't say a lot about Ozzie because
I've gone out of my way to avoid his music

(24:49):
as much as is possible during my life. But I
did get a phone call on the topic from a regular.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Sodada well uncle kind of ironic well in Florence. I
was went back and listened to some podcasts as the
Uncle Henry Show to get caught up, and I heard
the one don't recollect what day it was where you
had done his story on Ozzy Osbourne.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
By the way, I don't. I have no memory of
doing a story on Ozzy.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
But anyway, and was asking me directly, I believe about
had he done any good music in any of the
songs any count you know anything like that?

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Right? Because I genuinely I've really gone out of my
way to avoid I mean, I mean the band Black Sabbath.
Why would why would somebody want to listen to something
named that?

Speaker 4 (25:41):
But back to the message, no, you well you wouldn't
think so. But I I was pretty fond of him,
both when he was with Black Sabbath and as a
solo artist. Can't Kill Rock and Roll is one of
my all time favorites. But uh As, I'm sure you've
heard by now he passed away today, age maybe said

(26:03):
seventy six. Yes, I think I got first turned on
the Black Seventh when I was about I want to say,
maybe around thirteen. That would have been about nineteen seventy
And I like your music. He was talented, he could write.
A matter of fact, I worked one of his performances
run a Trust Spot on stage at Oak Mountains back

(26:28):
in the early I think probably ninety three ninety four,
and little tidbit on that he was having to go
backstage after about every fourth or fifth song and get
a Vitamin B twelve shot keep himself going. He wasn't
in the best of shape thirty some odd years ago, so.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
That show, and you know it was Vitamin B twelve.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
He come out one time with this big water cannon
deal looks like a flamethrower.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
And there was a.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Gal down on the front row exposed yourself, so he
cut loose with the water and drenched her, much to
the delight of the crowd and some of the stage
hands and whatnot. That was in my earlier hippie days.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Anyway, rip Izzy, sixty eight year old Chris, thank you
for addressing that topic on the program today for me. Now,
when I pass away, do not expect anyone to tell
a story of me drenching a topless woman with water
or any other liquid. Uncle Ahead Show News Radio seventy

then additional Uncle Henry's show. You want to call the show,

right before the show started, right about ten minutes before five,

(28:45):
my wife who earlier texted me out of the blue
about Ozzie Osbourne left a voicemail. So this is I
never when I got married, I didn't not expect the
wife to be phoning into the show. But here we go.
Here is a voicemail from missus Uncle Henry. And yes,

(29:08):
she does have to call me that it's in the
pre nup. Just to call me Uncle Henry. That's in
the pre nup. Here is what she had to say
to me via voicemail, huncle Henry.

Speaker 9 (29:21):
I don't know if anyone's called in regarding the gentleman at.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Fins by the way, she just has a young voice.
I did not rob the cradle.

Speaker 9 (29:30):
In front of Government Plaza.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
There's a man in front of Government Plaza.

Speaker 9 (29:35):
Jesday Lorrn and he sets an inspiration to me. Actually,
he's not like those normal protesters that I've seen on
the weekends, the ones that are in lawn chairs and
have those signs done about that are done in crayon
or whatever. This guy stands out there with his veteran

(29:59):
had on some sort and I'm an American flag and
the you know it's.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
A police flag.

Speaker 9 (30:06):
It's such as flash. She to me, I always honk
my horn.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Oh, she hanks her horn. Here we go. She told
me I could never honk my horn. Now she's honking
her horn at a veteran with the flag in front
of gump Plaza.

Speaker 9 (30:20):
She to me, I always honk my horn. Oh, oh
about honking. I do honk my horn for that. Today
I was paying attention to my science horrible. I apologize.
I was at a red lawn in share Homes and
I was texting. Yes, I was texting at the red light.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Okay, so my wife calling in to confess. I believe
it is against the law in the state of Alabama
to handle your phone when your phone your car is
on and you're on a city street. I believe my
wife confessing to law breaking in the voicemail text while
waiting at a red line in fair Hope.

Speaker 9 (31:05):
And I was texting, Yes, I was texting at the
red light, and a gentleman was so kind to me.
He was in a very large pickup truck and he
didn't honk his horn at me, even though he should
have five cars that already went and I was just

(31:26):
sitting there on my phone. He didn't honk his horn.
He's tried to pull what alerted me was. He was
on me, pulling over my car and I thought I
better mave but he did not honk me. I was
not triggered anyway. He should have honked. I believe in
that such way home.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Oh he can honk, he can honk, but I can't.
Now if I'm behind somebody in they're texting all I
should never honk. It's just rude. But he should have honked.
So I'm am I the only person that can hank
that it's sounding to speciously like I am the only
person that is not trusted with the car horn.

Speaker 9 (32:06):
I believe in that's this way and honking as a gentleman.
He was out waving his flag every Tuesday. I think
is another reason to hank. So honking, you know possibility.
It's okay, have a.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Good day, all right, okay, all right, thank you to
my wife. Learning a little bit more about marriage as
each day goes by. So there are some rules, some
rules for me that did not apply to any other
living creature apparently, And the first one that I've discovered
is that the car horn that I'm not allowed to
have one unless I'm trying to there's some type of

(32:46):
