This Synsday Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio seventy
ten WNTM, and I appreciate very much you listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. Now, in this half hour of show,
we're gonna get to some news items and we're gonna
get to some voicemail. Now, before we get to any
(00:38):
of that stuff, I just want to let you know
that I can also be heard weekdays, Monday through Friday
on ninety five KSJFM. On ninety five KSJFM, I can
be heard playing today's hottest country music. That means Morgan
Wallen and Jelly Roll and Luke Bryn and Luke Combs
and Kenny Chesney and then more Morgan Wallen, just a
(01:00):
just all that modern country music. Now, I'm mentioning this
to you now because today on ninety five ks J
we did the radiothon for Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital,
and we're going to do that again tomorrow raising money
for Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital. It's something that ninety
(01:20):
five KSJ has done for many, many years, and people
on the Gulf Coast have contributed to for many many years.
Because there's been many families on the Gulf coast that
have been helped by Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital. Main
reason we do this is that when families are helped
by Saint Jude, they don't have to pay a dime.
(01:42):
They never get a bill. The families never get a
bill from Saint Jude for the for the hospital stay,
for the treatment, for the travel, for the lodging.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
For even the food.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And so this is we just this is a cause
near and dear to our hearts, and so I.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Mentioned this to you.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
So tomorrow, if you have some spare time, flip on
over to ninety five KSJ and give us a listen.
And if you like what you hear, please make a donation.
If you want more info in all that, all the
details on what we're doing, all the fundraising is at

Saint Jude. Now, today a big day for people that
love infrastructure. In Mobile, Alabama. A major infrastructure project was
completed and now the road is open. And we're talking
about South McGregor Avenue. It's been closed down for what
two years. Many of us I've just gotten used to
(02:44):
never driving that way ever again. So I'm looking forward
to going out and test driving the new, new and
improved McGregor Avenue. Now I've got a news story from
Fox ten. They had a big ribbon cutting because when
the government does something like this, even though what's their job,
they still like to congratulate themselves for what they've done.
(03:06):
And so they had to have a press conference where
people made speeches about how they did their job, and
we need to thank them for doing their job. Let's
listen together here as Fox ten, I believe Ashling Mitchell
introduces this report on the reopening of South McGregor Avenue
in Mobile after years of construction.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
After more than two years of construction, South McGregor Avenue
between Airport Boulevard and Dauphin Street is officially reopened. My
friend Stephen Moody is live this morning with more on that,
and Stephen, this is a big day for residents who
live in the area.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yes, it is, and I'm one of those residents, and
I can just tell you that from when construction started
to today, there's a buzz in this area.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We've been fought, there's a buzz in the area following.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
This story since construction began back in twenty twenty three,
and now a big day is finally here.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now, unfortunately you can't see the video because radio is
as great as radio has been. We still haven't figured
out how to get pictures on radio. We're still working
on it, but we hadn't We hadn't figured it out yet. Anyway,
there's a group let me see one, two, three, four, five, six, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve thirty. It looks like about twenty to twenty one
(04:28):
people standing up there clapping as they cut the ribbon.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Contractors officially broke ground in May of twenty twenty three,
and it was expected to reopen by December thirty first.
But here we are weeks earlier, saying hello to the
new South McGregor Avenue.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
It is beautiful and it's going to make a huge
difference for all the residents of this area.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Now, this is a lady that they don't have any
graphic up saying who she is. She's just somebody grateful
that the government has done what the government is supposed
to do, which is their job, providing the infrastructure much.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Difference for all of the residents of this area. And
as they said, with all the speeches, we've waited a
long time, but it's taken a great effort.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
We've been involved with a lot of here's mayor's former
Mayor Standy Simpson.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Ribbon cuttings, but this one's really special and part of
the special part of me is that we did get
finished early and it has been so disruptive to so
many people. But now with the Christmas shopping going on
holiday season, because of all the merchants that are at
either end of McGregor, I'm just really happy for them
and for the commuters that it'll cut so much time
(05:39):
off of just being in traffic. So very exciting.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Over the past few years, the city have spent time
adding around about a sidewalk, a turning lane, as well
as drainage and sewage upgrades. The twenty five million dollar
investment aims to improve traffic flow in pedestrian safety. New
Mobile Mayor, Spiritual god It says he appreciates the efforts
of everyone involved.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Oh in the camera and I'm sorry to interrupt, but
the camera they don't have a graphic up, but I
recognize former Mobile City Councilman Reggie Copeland. There so God
so glad he's still out and about and enjoying these things.
So Reggie Copeland spotted what.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I'm thankful for is we have so many great people
who have been doing it and have been doing it
well and are just setting me and the City of
Mobile up for success.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
And so I'm very thankful for them.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
I'm thankful to be a part of what is happening
in the City of Mobile.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Commuters have had to use alternate routes, and they've even
had to cut through residents or neighborhoods just to get
to their destinations. So this will be a welcome relieve
as we get closer to the new year.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
It's going to be really good for me and all
the residents that are.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Kind of there's a lady again, we don't get a
graphic of her name, but yes, people have been cutting through.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
If you.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Were to drive through some of those neighborhoods, you would
see some signs of this where you can tell that people,
you know, they want the cars to slow down, people
putting signs in their yards. Just it's been very disruptive,
no doubt.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Really good for me and all the residents that are
tired of the traffic coming through the backway.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Now, Mayor your God has actually did a ceremonial drive
around this roundabout behind me.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
A ceremonial drive around.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now, I've not heard of it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I've never heard of a ceremonial drive around through a
traffic circle.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Now, Mayor your God has actually did a ceremonial drive
around this roundabout behind me. And immediately following that ceremony.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
The road reopened.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
And I can say that we've been here since then
and there have been no problems.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So a big day.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Here is a citymobile reporting live this morning here in
mobile Stephen Moody, Fox TEND News.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You know, this was a long, ridiculously long project, but
the best part of it is that I don't think
it destroyed businesses. But there have been now that you
may remember other projects like this that dragged on for
a long time that wrecked businesses. I mean, Florida Street
is transformed from what it used to be, and it's
(08:12):
not because of anything.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Other than you might remember. You remember when there used.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
To be a crop myres on Florida Street and a
bowling alley and a grocery store and all those things.
So I'm glad that this road project did not disrupt
businesses like previous road projects did and transform streets like that. Anyway,
glad that the roundabout is open and that McGregor is open. Now,
(08:37):
all right, going to take a time out and then
come back with more Uncle Henry Show here on news
radio seventy ten WNTM. Going to get to some voicemail
after the break. Let's take this, dad gum break, take
the break, This says dear Uncle Henry Show. News headlines
(09:14):
coming up in ten minutes. If you can just make
it through this segment of the show, you'll have news headlines. Now,
let's see. I've got voicemail I can get to. But
there's a couple of news items that I'm very curious
about that I don't know. I don't know about these
news items. I'd like to learn about him, if you
don't mind me, we can learn together.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Now, Dick van.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Dyke is I guess he's in his nineties. I know well,
I believe he is in his nineties. I don't know
how with he's ninety one or ninety nine or where
he is there. But now, Dick van Dyke credits his
longevity to ditching two habits to get rid of two
getting rid of two habits. So let's listen. Let's find
(09:58):
out about Dick Van Dyke in his longevity. This is
a report from Fox News.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
Dick Van Dyke turns one hundred years old Saturday, and
the actor and comedian says he believes it's because he
gave up two major vices along.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
All Right, we're going to find out about the vices.
He's turning a hundred. That is really something, you know,
Dick Van denk, what an incredible career. The guy, he
was just iconic on the Dick Van Dyke Show and
all them other things he did. And I want to
tell you, and you're going to think I'm making this up,
but I met a man. He's a twenty nine year old.
(10:36):
He's got a family, a wife and a kid and
another kid on the way. Guy lives out in Simms, Alabama.
And the guy, I don't know how this come up
with conversation, but he told me that his favorite movie
of all time was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Now. And
(10:58):
this is a very nice young man with his family.
He's uh, highly employable and employed, no criminal record, doesn't
seem to be a weirdo. But he told me his
favorite movie of all time was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
And then he went on to explain in great ridiculous
(11:22):
detail as to why he loved Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
so much. And he went on to reserve he recited
lyrics from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang songs and again, not
a not that's the weirdest.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Thing about him.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
You never knew, you'd never think, Wow, that guy's really weird.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You wouldn't know. You wouldn't think.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
That until he started talking about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang anyway.
And I'm proud to say I have not want I
don't think I've seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang since it
was originally out. So but no offense to the lovers
of the of the Bang Bang, I just I'm just saying,
(11:59):
all right, back to all right, what do we think
Dick Van Dyke, he's given up two vises? What do
we think they are? And are they really the reason
he's lived to be one hundred?
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Dick Van Dyke turns one hundred years old Saturday, and
the actor and comedian says he believes it's because he
gave up two major vices a long time ago. According
to People Magazine, Van Dyke, at a recent Vandy High
te event at his Malibu home, said, so I got
rid of booze and cigarettes and all that stuff, which
is probably why I'm still here.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The mayorag booze and cigarettes. All right, Well that's that's
an easy one. Yeah, what other thing? Well, I don't
want I don't want to go down a list of vises,
so anyway, but he gave up booze and cigarettes.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Gray Poppins's actor admitted he was in his fifties before
it dawned on him that he had an addictive personality.
In nineteen seventy two, Van Dyke checked into a hospital
to address his alcoholism, but said quitting smoking was twice
as hard. In a Times UKSA, Van Dyke shared that
staying active has been key to keeping him physically strong
(13:04):
and mentally sharp. Michelle Polino, Fox News.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Good for him, Glad he was able to battle those
demons effectively. And who knows how long the guy will
be around. I'm sure genetics had a little bit to
do with it. Two, but giving up cigarettes and booze
probably didn't hurt. Let's see, do I have time for
one more?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I believe I do. This is.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
About the Postal Services busiest time of the year. Here's
another another Fox News report. This one is about the
busiest time of the year for the US Postal Service.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
The Postal Service as it's ready for the busiest week
of twenty twenty five. Monday, December fifteenth kicks off the
last week to get millions of holiday cards and packages
in the mail to be delivered in time.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Sorry for already interrupting this, but I haven't sent out
a Christmas card in years. I've already forgotten how much
a stamp costs. I think I might have mentioned this
on the show yesterday. Are we getting to a point
where it would be cheaper, perhaps to drop off some
of your Christmas cards instead of instead of mailing them?
(14:18):
If the person lives in town, would it make sense
to just drive it across town? I mean stamps they
keep going up, all right. Back to the report.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Time for Christmas Tuesday, December sixteenth. The deadline for postal
ground advantage packages Wednesday for first class, Thursday for a
Priority mail, and Saturday the twentieth for Priority mail Express.
In the lower forty eight ups and FedEx with similar
deadlines there are three day ground deadline is next Friday.
(14:52):
This year, Christmas falls on a Thursday, exactly two weeks
from today. Terse Crowley, Fox News.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
All right, sounds very dramatic.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I'm glad. I'm glad I don't have to mail anything
this year, and then just pray that it arrives in time.
But yeah, the Postal Service valiantly and bravely resisting all reform,
all right out of time for this edition of The
Uncle Henry Show. Appreciate that very very much again tomorrow

we think they are? And are they really the reason
he's lived to be one hundred?
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Dick Van Dyke turns one hundred years old Saturday, and
the actor and comedian says he believes it's because he
gave up two major vices a long time ago. According
to People Magazine, Van Dyke, at a recent Vandy High
te event at his Malibu home, said, so I got
rid of booze and cigarettes and all that stuff, which
is probably why I'm still here.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The mayorag booze and cigarettes. All right, Well that's that's
an easy one. Yeah, what other thing? Well, I don't
want I don't want to go down a list of vises,
so anyway, but he gave up booze and cigarettes.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Gray Poppins's actor admitted he was in his fifties before
it dawned on him that he had an addictive personality.
In nineteen seventy two, Van Dyke checked into a hospital
to address his alcoholism, but said quitting smoking was twice
as hard. In a Times UKSA, Van Dyke shared that
staying active has been key to keeping him physically strong
(13:04):
and mentally sharp. Michelle Polino, Fox News.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Good for him, Glad he was able to battle those
demons effectively. And who knows how long the guy will
be around. I'm sure genetics had a little bit to
do with it. Two, but giving up cigarettes and booze
probably didn't hurt. Let's see, do I have time for
one more?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I believe I do. This is.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
About the Postal Services busiest time of the year. Here's
another another Fox News report. This one is about the
busiest time of the year for the US Postal Service.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
The Postal Service as it's ready for the busiest week
of twenty twenty five. Monday, December fifteenth kicks off the
last week to get millions of holiday cards and packages
in the mail to be delivered in time.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Sorry for already interrupting this, but I haven't sent out
a Christmas card in years. I've already forgotten how much
a stamp costs. I think I might have mentioned this
on the show yesterday. Are we getting to a point
where it would be cheaper, perhaps to drop off some
of your Christmas cards instead of instead of mailing them?
(14:18):
If the person lives in town, would it make sense
to just drive it across town? I mean stamps they
keep going up, all right. Back to the report.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Time for Christmas Tuesday, December sixteenth. The deadline for postal
ground advantage packages Wednesday for first class, Thursday for a
Priority mail, and Saturday the twentieth for Priority mail Express.
In the lower forty eight ups and FedEx with similar
deadlines there are three day ground deadline is next Friday.
(14:52):
This year, Christmas falls on a Thursday, exactly two weeks
from today. Terse Crowley, Fox News.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
All right, sounds very dramatic.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I'm glad. I'm glad I don't have to mail anything
this year, and then just pray that it arrives in time.
But yeah, the Postal Service valiantly and bravely resisting all reform,
all right out of time for this edition of The
Uncle Henry Show. Appreciate that very very much again tomorrow
(15:27):

Research Hospital. Thank you for listening. As they say in
