Speaker 1 (01:29):
A lot to get to, of course.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
On today's Uncle Henry Show Mobile City Council meeting, we
had that happen today. We had a quite a link
and there was a guy from al dot in town,
Alabama Department of Transportation talking about the building of the fantasy.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Bridge, the the.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Dream bridge, the bridge that people have fantasized about for years.
The guy in town from al DOTT was saying that
maybe what let.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Me look at the right words here could all right.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
This is from Landyapmobile dot com. That's where you get
local news landyapmobile dot com. They say that the construction
of the new bridge could begin in the final months
of twenty twenty five. We've got a wonderful could. Isn't
that wonderful to have a could? And now I'd like
(02:24):
a wood? But I guess coulds better than won't think
about you. These are things to think about. But I'm
gonna I'm gonna look at the glasses half full. So
there's there's a could. All you got to do is
change one letter on there and it would be would.
So we'll keep our fingers crossed on that, just not
too tightly because you might lose those if you have
(02:46):
to wait too long. Now, one of my favorite things
that happen today. A lot of people have been talking
about it already. I've looked at it on social media.
I saw some of the press conference today. President Trump
gave a lengthy what was it a two hour press
conference today? Startling contrast between President Trump and President Biden
(03:10):
in that Donald Trump does have the stamina to speak
for that length of time, and he said something that
has made a lot of waves, no pun intended.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a
beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf
of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate. It's appropriate?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Is?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
It?
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Really?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Is this?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
By the way, I am enjoying this tremendously, not because
I had a problem with the name Gulf of Mexico.
Is I can't think of anything more Donald Trump than that.
That is about us. This is about it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
This is peak Trump that we're experiencing.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You may have already thought you experienced in peak Trump,
but he has really ever since they tried to kill him,
he has just been building and building and becoming more
Trumpish and more trumpish. And now here we are with
the renaming.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
What are we gonna call it again?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You know, I thought about this. I thought about it. First.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I thought, I don't know, I don't know about this
because I've been I've been saying Gulf of Mexico my
entire life. But then I thought, after working in the
business community, one of the worst excuses for continuing to
do something is the excuse that, well, that's the way
we've always done it. So love I love that he's
(04:50):
thinking this big.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I love. Now.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You may not like it, may irritate you, and I'm
glad in a way that it is, because it's kind
of a litmus test for me to figure out what
you're all about. But I love the just I love
the train of thought here that we're not going to
do things the same old way anymore. Might add some
territory to the United States, might change the name of
(05:14):
the Gulf of Mexico to the Golf of America Gulf
of America. The more I say it and think about it,
the more I like it. In fact, I'm pretty sure
that merchandises probably rolled out started rolling out minutes after
Donald Trump talked about this. I've got to look online
and to see if there's already Gulf of America shirts
(05:35):
and bumper stickers and all that kind of stuff. And
I wonder what other things. There's got to be other
things that can be renamed. And please, if you feel
upset about the renaming of things, then what about all
these military bases that are having their names changed. I'm
(05:56):
looking forward to all these the possibilities of things being renamed,
and what about something locally? Would you would you be
okay with Dog River? I love dogs, by the way,
would you be okay with Dog River being renamed something
like Liberty River? Now I can't help but say it
(06:18):
that way. I can't just say I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I can't. I have to say it Liberty River.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I don't know why, but the word liberty just comes
out of me that way.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Liberty River just something like this, something to think about.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I'm going to think about it, and I will send
some type of handwritten letter to the new administration and
give them some suggestions of things locally that maybe we
could rename and make them more patriotic. Again, I have
nothing against dogs.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But Liberty River.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I think Liberty River would be wonderful. In fact, I
maybe could look at numerous things to rename around here.
In fact, I wish our local leaders would get ahead
of this. You know they're planning on moving the airport.
You may have heard this that we're gonna have the
Mobile International Airport at Brookly. So why would you continue
(07:09):
to call Airport Boulevard and Mobile Airport Boulevard?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Why would you do it?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Why not rename Airport Boulevard. And we've had years of
people complaining not only about Airport Boulevard, but about the
airport that's at the end of Airport Boulevard. People have
been complaining about the road, and they've been complaining about
the airport. So why not have a palette cleanser. Maybe
the new mayor can get this going, whoever that turns
out to be Connie Hudson or whoever it's going to be.
(07:37):
Maybe we could rename Airport Boulevard and we don't have
to call it something like Liberty or Freedom or something
like that. We could keep it something relevant locally like
Saban Street, something like that. You know what I'm saying,
Bear Bryant Boulevard, Sabin Street, something locally relevant that that
(08:00):
would mean something to local people. Just some things to
think about. It's exciting, isn't it. This new era of
the Golden Age is we're beginning a new Golden age
in the United States of America with a new president
and renaming of the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf
of America. All these different things, all right, look a
lot to get to. As I mentioned, the Bobill City
(08:20):
Council meeting, we have communications from listeners. All that and
more coming up as the Uncle Henry Show continues here

(09:32):
That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Today there was
a Mobile City Council meeting. It was blessedly brief. I
think it was under fifty minutes. Keep up the good work, council.
Keep those meetings going along real quick now. Even with
a meeting though, if you go watch the meeting on YouTube,
(09:56):
if you enjoy political hot air and just politicians that
love to hear themselves talk. Even though it was a
short meeting, there were still a lot of the council
really wanted to talk. They had their little announcement time
at the end of the meeting, and they just there
was just talking and talking and talking.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They just love it. They just enjoyed. They enjoy the microphone.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I understand maybe maybe they should get into radio once
voted out, if that happens. But the council meeting today,
they had they had some remarks from Mayor Stimpson. I
thought you might want to hear.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I'm going to play you the mayor's remarks. Now, if
you're driving, try to stay alert because this will you
will get drowsy listening to the mayor. But that's just
a natural side effect of his calm uh low charisma
manner of speaking. He's he's been a great mayor. A
lot of us have thought he's done a great job
(10:52):
in many instances. But still the public speaking part could
make you drowsy. So if you're driving, just be very careful.
This is some hortant if you're cold. He's got cold
weather information for us. Here he is the mayor from
today's Mobile City Council meeting.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
First thing I like to talk about, and obviously if
you came here. You know that we've got severe cold
weather severe presently and we.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Could severe cold. I believe it was thirty severe.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Continue off for the next two or three days. A
special thank you goes down to the Waterfront Rescue Mission
who's helping coordinate the shelters for those who need it
during these frigid times.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Other participating these are frigid times. He's got away with.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Words shelters that are trying to make sure that nobody's
sleeping out in the coal uh. In addition to the
Waterfront Rescue Mission or the Central Presbyterian Church, mckimmy Place,
Salvation Army, Ryan's Refuge, and the Theatre of Church of God,
anyone who needs shelter during the cold can call two
(11:57):
five to one four three three eighteen forty seven. That's
two five one four three three eighteen forty seven, or
you can call four four four to two six oh
onet eight. Also, I'd like to say that the Wave
Transit has agreed to be waving fees on the fixed
routes for anyone who needs transportation to these shelters.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
All right, very nice free bus ride to your shelter
from the cold. Glad that we have that available. Now
there are more remarks from the mayor. I don't know
if I should play these. I've already played about a minute,
and I don't want anybody to doze off and go
off the side of the road. Let me see, so
(12:40):
I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Let me see if I play more than that.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Thing I'd like to bring attention to is that I
Office of Supply Diversity in Community.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Anyway, look watching on, I don't want anybody to wreck
their car because they're drowsing. Find the rest of this
on YouTube. The mayor speaks at the at the beginning
of the meeting to the assembled at the Mobile City
Council meeting. Now, after the council meeting, they had a
finance committee meeting where they talked about the cost of
(13:08):
the new the replacement for the Mobile Civic Center. Now
according to lanyapmobile dot com. That's where I get local
info lanyatmobile dot com. According to their story this afternoon,
written by Dale Leash, the cost for this new project
(13:28):
this this replacement for the civic center will be around
three hundred and two million dollars now around now, based
on my experience covering local governments building things, around three
hundred and two million dollars means more means more than
(13:50):
three hundred and two million dollars. I don't know how
much more. That's just based on my experience. Around three
hundred two million means there'd be more than that, a
little bit more than that three hundred and two million dollars. Now,
this is a month before bids for construction are due,
(14:11):
a lot of discussion on financing all of this. One
of the things that caught my attention was that they
are going to see if Mobile County would like to
partner up in this. See if Mobile County. The City's
(14:32):
reached out to Mobile County to ask if they want
a partner in the facility. You know, I'm gonna I'm
gonna based on my previous years of experience. I don't
know what will happen, but based on my previous years
of watching local governments, I'm gonna say that the county
would like to The county will probably want to partner
(14:53):
in the facility because governmental entities like box seats. They
they like really good seats, whether it's a stadium, concert venue,
whatever it is. Local government officials they like having box
seats of some kind. So I would not be shocked
(15:16):
if the county would try to figure out how to
be involved in this.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Just get some really nice seats. Seats are good. Having
nice seats are good. You know, life.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
People talk about getting a lot of money and stuff
in life, but experiences, experiences, having the memories of great
experiences are very important. And I'm sure that the experience
of having box seats will be very It'll be difficult
to turn down from the county, but we'll I'll wait
(15:47):
and see if the county is involved in this or not.
So anyway, if you want to read that, that's at
lan Yetmobile dot com all the ins and outs of
the new arena replacing the Mobile Civic Center, and also
the story I told you about in the last segment
of the show where al Don was in town talking
about how possibly they could break ground for the new
(16:14):
Fantasy Bridge at the end of this year. Again, the
word is could, It's not would, it's could. Two five

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Show it is five thirty five.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Telephone number two five one four seventy nine seventy two three.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Hello Color, Are you speaking with me?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I'm speaking with you, sir.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Well, that's wonderful. I'm speaking with you. I feel honored.
I've known you. I mean, I've seen you and whatever.
I'm a fifth generation Mobilion, so I've got super deep roots.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Yeah, Peter Tanner is my name. And oh, I was
just gonna you were talking about the name changes of things,
and yes, some of the name changes. I'm really supportive
of the change of the Gulf name. But there's changes
that has happened in the past that many people don't
realize that. Originally, when the French explorers were exploring, I
(19:04):
came up into Mobile Bay, and I might have the
exact pronunciation wrong. A Mobile Bay was by here the
Deo Santos was Mobile Bay, which was the Bay of
the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yes, what it was named.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
And then there's now a Foul River which was originally
Ilowis River, which was Isle of Geese is the translation.
And then Dog River you were talking about that earlier, Yes,
was just like the road was Rivier d Shane, which
(19:43):
is river River of the dog. And you know how
much more intriguing would it be to come across the
Gulf with this new name and come into Bahia the
Deo Santos and passed by Eloi River and come into
Riviera DeShane. You know, would just sound a lot better
(20:07):
than than Mobile Bay and Fail River and Dold River,
you know. So you know, I'm not into marketing, but boy,
I mean, it would just sure sound a lot better.
And I just wanted to make that company.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I'm glad. I'm glad you did. I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And and I have I've noted that through the years
there have been some people that have tried to get
Mobile Bay renamed Bay of the Holy Spirit, the back
to the to the h the earlier name. They didn't
have a lot of luck with that. I don't I
don't know that we'll be able to do that one
or pull that one off, but uh, I'm in I'm
in favor of all this kind of.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Stuff right to me too. And then just speaking of naming,
I told you my name was Peter Tanner and with
my deep roots Tanner Williams Room that was named after
my grandfather back in the day. And I'm sort of
proud of that as being a mobile union. Yeah, that
came from mister Williams and my grandfather were friends and
(21:11):
they built the original or funded and built original school
which was named for them, and then the community and
the road took on that name. So there's a lot
of My point is there's a lot of meaning behind
things getting named for such absolutely. Yes, all right, well,
(21:32):
I do appreciate you very much and I've been a
big fan for decades.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Well, sir, thank you very very much. I've enjoyed your
call tremendously.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Thank you so much, sir.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
There he goes mister Tanner. By the he mentioned Tanner Williams.
I was looking I was uploading the podcast yesterday of
the Uncle Henry Show. Uncle Henry Show available as a podcast,
and I was looking at the stats and I saw
that the asigned from Mobile get most of my downloads
are from Mobile. But I saw that the second place
(22:10):
on the list most downloads in a community was Tanner Williams.
And I kept thinking, what's why are the people of
Tanner Williams downloading the Uncle Henry Show more so than
say Daphne or fair Hope or Sarah Land. The beautiful Chickasaw.
(22:30):
I guess I need to go spend some more time
out in Tanner Williams and find out who the Uncle
Henry show fans are there out there in Tanner Williams. Hey,
if you're listening to Tanner Williams, God bless you all right?
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Hello caller, Hey over Henry, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Snake trapper snake? Happy New Year to you? What's going
on with you?
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I wait?
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Nothing to it over Henry, A man, you have a
lot of fans out here in my West Mobile and
the Tanner Williams area, Uncle Henry. As a matter of fact,
I was in wend dyc at airport and snow last
night about eight o'clock, and I had my pink snake
trapper shirt on Uncle Henry, and this Spellow approached me
and introduced me to him and told me, I want
(23:10):
to tell me a story. He said, a few nights ago,
he was on State Line Road, which is far west
Mobile as far as you can go with Mobile County.
Said about eight o'clock he was running down the road
over Henry and said, all of a sudden there was
a possum crossing the road in front of him, and
he said, just his natural reflexes. He he flinched and
(23:31):
snatched the car. Well, two wheels went off the road,
and he said he almost flipped his car. He said,
but Trappor, I want you to know, he said, I
missed that thing, he said, and I'm happy for it.
And Henry, I told him, I said, look, man, I said,
don't ever do that. You know, if you come across
that situation, most of your SUVs and you pick up trucks,
(23:53):
if you'll just center them, you know, they had the
clearance to actually ride over the top of them. But uh,
man no means to anybody out there, don't ever snatch
your vehicle off the road or do anything that can
endanger your life.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Or the best thing you can do is just try
to slow down and then if nothing else centered But
uh yeah, man, I enjoy talking that fellow, Henry. He said,
he's a big listener to your show and has been
for many years. And uh he did ask me too,
He said, I want to ask you something he says,
is that uncle Henry a real person? And what yes, sir, that's.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
What he said.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
What a question is a man? I bust that laugh,
And I said, look here, man, I said, he is
definitely not Ai, I said, And if he's a robot,
I said, he sure got me food. But uh, man,
it struck me because you said somebody asked you that
about me the other day.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
They did.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
They asked me if you were really that, if you
really sounded like that in person, or if you were
just pretending to.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Be snake Trapper.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
And uh and I laughed, of course, because you you
are off antically who you are? You the listener snake
trappers like this, A lot of us have been invited
out to snake Trapper's house. Snake Trapper is who he is?
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Uh yeah, for Henry. And I'm telling you, man, like
I said, you got a big following out here. And
this fellow claims he's listening to you for a long time.
And it just amazed me that he asked me if
you was real man. I mean, I cracked up, man,
I just thought that was hilarious. So anyway, his name
was David, and I told him, I said, Man, call
in and tell Uncle Henry that story about that.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I said.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
He had really enjoyed. I said, but man, by no
means don't ever risk your life leaving the highway or
nothing like that. But man, he was just tickled to death.
Did he save the possums? So there is one out
here in the Westbobillo area alive because of David.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, your evangelism for possums, in the preservation of possums
is paying off.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Yes, sir, it is Uncle Henry. And who knows David
may have saved the species. North America is only Marsupio.
So man, it was really fine.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I enjoyed talking with it.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
All right, well, hey, thank you for telling.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Me that, yes, they're over here, and you take care buddy.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You too, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Snake Trapper Hello caller, Hello, Oh, I loved it. I
got hung up on by some now who knows, who knows.
That might have been a person that was so nervous
to go on the radio. They just hung up, just
couldn't couldn't, couldn't fa Or it could have been somebody
(26:33):
calling to tell me the same story and Snake Trapper
beat them to it. Whatever it is, whoever you were,
bless your heart. I don't I don't mind being hung
up on. In fact, I've told you before you the listener,
I do enjoy when the listener hangs up on me,
so I don't have to do the dirty work of
hanging up on you. So thank you for hanging up
(26:54):
on me. Whoever you were. And it could have been
somebody shy, could have been somebody on meth you just
you don't know, could have been a wrong number confused.
Let's say, oh, I've got to go to break. I
want to hear the traffic in the weather, words from
our sponsors, and then going to have a little bit
more Uncle Henry should have come for you here on

the Sanger. That and more coming up in the next
half hour of Uncle Henry Show after six o'clock here
on News Radio seven ten WNTL. Now, before go any further,
I just want to send condolences out to the family
(28:58):
of doctor John Switzer. Now doctor John Switzer was a
theology professor at spring Hill College. He taught theology at
Springhill College, I think for about fifteen years, doctor Switzer,
and he was a semi regular caller to the Uncle
(29:20):
Henry Show. He used to call the show frequently and
would send emails to the show. He called himself the
Liberty Professor, the Liberty Professor, And I remember doctor Switzer
when he would call in. He was always very strongly conservative,
(29:41):
but at the same time extremely kind and forgiving the
way you might want a theologian to be. He would
make strong conservative points, but I always had that that
kindness to him. He was always he's willing to engage
and get into some very friendly debate with anybody that
(30:04):
disagreed with him. Enjoyed his phone calls tremendously. Now you
may not remember the liberty professor. He stopped calling after
I switched from mornings to afternoons. Let's see if I
can go into the archives. I think I've got a
call from the liberty professor.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
This is brief.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
He was watching the City of Mobile maintaining the flower
beds around the cannon at the loop, and he called
in with these thoughts.
Speaker 10 (30:39):
Hey, uncle Henry, this's a professor. I'm down on the loop.
I just passed the cannon. Kind of amazing. They're replacing
the flowers in that tiny little triangle around the cannon.
Looks like maybe they're putting it in pansies for the wintertime.
Looks real nice, Henry. But guess what it takes? Six
city workers? No, last six. I just looked. I was
(31:02):
stopped at delight, and I counted every one of them, Henry,
six paid city workers.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Now see, I described him as conservative because he's of course,
he's pointing out the cost to the taxpayer of maintaining
all of this to put.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
In a few flowers and spread a little bit.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Of the dirt.
Speaker 10 (31:22):
About half of them were standing around on their rakes.
The other half we're moving a little bit putting those
flowers in. Is it any wonder. We need to get
that penny back, get that sales tax higher, Henry. We
got to pay all these folks stand around and got
to pay a bunch of extra ones to help put
those heavy flowers in. You know, flowers are heavy, Henry.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
I have a good one message deleted the Liberty Professor
another morning. This is much. This is even briefer. I
was talking about somebody had called in and said, we
have feels like temperatures. We ought to have feels like times.
This was when the Uncle Henry Show started at five
o'clock in the morning. Feels like times.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
Hey, Uncle Henry, listening to the radio and you're talking
about feels like time. Well, and you said it's eight
thirty eight and it feels like eight thirty eight, and
it feels good to you. Well, I want you to
know that your listeners always feel good when you're on
the air. I feel good. Vote with Uncle Henry. I
(32:29):
should vote. Uh, don't catch you later, Henry.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Thank you, Liberty Professor for doctor John Switzer, Springhial College.
Thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show for
all those years and always being soap even when you
would call in complain about things. The federal government was
doing with tax dollars, and he'd called in about the
federal guvernment a lot way more than local.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Doctor Switcher.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
You're always you always had a positivity to you as
you were constructively criticizing our federal or local governments. So
I appreciate your phone calls. Condolences to your family, Doctor
John Switzer, the Liberty Professor. And I did see that
his funeral is going to take place. According to posts
(33:19):
on Facebook, his funeral will take place at Saint Pierre's
Episcopal Church January eighteenth in Columbus, Mississippi. Doctor Switcher would
drive in from Mississippi. He commuted and he would listen
to the show as he commuted from Mississippi into Alabama
(33:39):
to teach at spring Hill College. So again, condolences to
his family and condolences to all of his friends and
colleagues out at spring Hill College. We'll miss him, will
miss his point of view, his positivity. There is more

Let's say we are, in fact on wnt We're stopping
the beginning of the Uncle Henry Show. This is the
unc Clenary Show. We're stopping the beginning, Ryan Pablo Foster
from the Singer Theater, It's here with me. Now, you
are you implying that I mispronounced WNTM.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
No, I was just giving you a further opportunity. Did
I say it incorrectly.
Speaker 12 (34:56):
To reinforce that WNTM is the call letters of the
station we are currently on.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Now, as you're aware, I'm growing older and older, but
I don't have a lot of dental work yet, so
I didn't have a Now, there are some broadcasters of mobile.
I can hear their dental work slipping.
Speaker 12 (35:12):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Mine was not slipping. Now, I may have a neurological
issue due to my age. Was I slurring my speech?
Speaker 12 (35:18):
I don't believe so. But it may be it's cold,
my ears may be all.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Right, Well, just stand by it. We're gonna We're gonna
restart the segment.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Listener.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Listener, just forget you heard what you heard. When I
put this on the podcast, I will cut this out.
No one will hear this on the podcast. The only
people that will hear this will be the people listening
live right now here in our community.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
All right, here we go. Take two.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
This is the Uncle Henry's Show here on News Radio seventy.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Ten wnt M. Now, in this.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Half hour of show, we'll get to some voicemail, perhaps
maybe a new zeim Er two, but I want to
start off with Ryan Pablo Foster of the Mobile Sanger Theater.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Ryan Pablo Foster, Welcome back to the Elk Glanborg Show
for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 12 (36:16):
Thank you for having me on. Happy New Year to
you and everybody listening.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
My first question is this twenty twenty five, will the
Mobile Sanger Theater be as busy as twenty twenty four
or even busier?
Speaker 12 (36:27):
That is That remains to be seen, But it looks
like we're gonna be busier, okay, And it looks like
that kind of looks like it because we've got a
show tonight. We've got the Swan Lake with the Ballet
coming in this state Ballet Theater of Ukraine happening tonight
the singer. Yes, okay, we've got a Black Jacket Symphony
back in Friday night doing their Beatles.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Tree Stop, Lasting Road.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
You're going to tons of things coming up. You're going
too fast, all right, that's just this week so tonight,
Swan Lake. Yes, anybody listening is they they met staut
on this. They're not gonna be unless they rush down there.
Well yeah, now this Friday, the Black Jacket Symphony. These
are the people that pretend they go in and they
pretend that they're the original performers.
Speaker 12 (37:14):
Right, Yes, I would call it a supergroup of tribute artists.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Okay, yes, okay, a supergroup of tribute artists, and they're
gonna be doing the the Beatles Abbey Road. Explain how
this works to the listener.
Speaker 12 (37:28):
So, the way this works, the entire concept of the
Black Jacket Symphony is it's not a symphony, it's a
rock and roll concert. The Black Jacket Symphony takes a
classic album, in this case the Beatles Abbey Road. They
have found players who can mimic those sounds sound like Paul, John,
George and Ringo, and they can come in and they
will do the entire Abbey Road album in the way
(37:51):
you used to hear it on vinyl. So you would
put the needle on side A, track one and you
would listen to the entire album. So they will play
all those songs in that order, then take a break,
come back and do side B from track one all
the way through. Then they will take a little break
right there and do their little encore and do all
(38:13):
of that artist's greatest hits. So come back with a
bunch of Beatles hits from other Beatles albums at the
end of the show.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
All right, I've already learned something here. I've already learned
something from Ryan Pablo Foster.
Speaker 12 (38:24):
I like to be educational.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Well, you you.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Felt the need to explain to the news radio seventy
ten WNTM listener how an album worked. Do you encounter
people that don't understand.
Speaker 12 (38:38):
Well, you know, I was on Fox ten with Joe
Emer this morning and I was not sure he understood
how vinyl worked. We had a discussion about that. So
sometimes you do encounter people who were maybe not as
skilled with the older methods of entertainment media.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
I remember listening to eight track and people would probably
find it insane in modern times, but the eight track
would interrupt songs. Yeah, you know, when it would go
over from one to the other. Yeah, it would actually
interrupt the song.
Speaker 8 (39:10):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Anyway, So Blackjacket Simphony, is this Friday night or there's
still tickets available.
Speaker 12 (39:15):
There are some tickets available. You want to grab those
at the box office. You can do that, save yourself
a couple of bucks on fees, or you can get
them on Ticketmaster. And of course, then at the end
of the show, they'll announce what their next show will be.
They will be coming back in the spring, and they
will announce Friday night what that show is going to be.
And I got it, I got word. It's it should
be a good one.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Okay, Well, they generally don't do bad ones. Well I
would consider most of them not my cup of tea,
of course. Well, but but they pick some really top artists.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (39:46):
Absolutely, They've done the Eagles, Queen, Guns n' Roses, so
many it's.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
And some good ones and some good ones. Now, now
what let's go. Let's go into February. What you got
coming up in February. The singer that the listeners would.
Speaker 12 (40:00):
One of your favorites, I think obviously Alice Cooper will
be coming in February.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Fourth, No, not one of my favorites.
Speaker 12 (40:08):
No, you don't like the schlock horror rock thing.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
I don't need to see. I don't know how it
is now in his seventies. I don't need to need
to see a seventy year old with a boa constrict
around his neck, biting the heads off of bats and
things like.
Speaker 12 (40:21):
Alice Cooper will be seventy seven, seventy seventh the day
of the show at the Sanger, which his birthday.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
It will be his birthday, so yes, seventy seven, So.
Speaker 12 (40:31):
I expect we'll have a birthday cake for him and
him made of bats or bubble constrictors or something.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
As I mentioned to you before on this, you know
Pat Boone's still alive. You could why not Pat Boone
at the Sanger Theater.
Speaker 12 (40:46):
I don't know that the stage show is quite what
Alice Cooper brings.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
I'm sure it's not, but you know, okay, we could
look into it.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Now looking at it, come up with some more stuff.
What else is going to be at the sound.
Speaker 12 (40:57):
Something on the other side of the musical spectrum from
Alice Cooper's hard rock You've got the very next day,
February fifth, you got Drew and Ellie hulkm coming singer songwriter,
a husband and wife team you know, came out of
the Christian music world together years ago, still out there touring,
doing a great show, very.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Very much.
Speaker 12 (41:17):
The other end of the spectrum from Alas Scooper Klae
Cooper is energy and shock. They are a little more chill,
writing beautiful songs.
Speaker 5 (41:24):
Now.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
They're pretty energy. They're not devil energy. They're more angelic energy.
Speaker 12 (41:30):
That's a good way to put it on. Yes, Drew
and Lli Hulk them coming up February fifth, That's going
to be a fantastic show. Tracy Lawrence just announced right
before Christmas. We've got a great country show coming in
Tracy Lawrence March thirteenth, March Sigott zz top, which is
almost sold out. By the way, you want to go
ahead and lock in tickets for that.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
I'm surprised that zz Tomp has not sold out in
a venue the size of the singer. That is surprising.
Speaker 12 (41:54):
Well, you know, I think it's I think it was Christmas.
I think in the economy, you know, inflation's been rough
on folks this year. I think I might have slowed
things down just a little bit. People have to budget
a little better, but you have that coming up. You've
got Alton Brown, the noted foodie. He'll be doing his
show March fifth. So we got a lot of things
for a lot of different tastes.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
God to the singer, So, Ryan Pablo Foster, where can
people get information about all these these Sanger events.
Speaker 12 (42:20):
You can go to Mobilesanger dot com. You can follow
us on any of the social media platforms, and of
course you can always just go to ticketmaster dot com
and search for Singer Theater.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Okay, and we forgot to mention the Napoleon Diamond you show.
People are gonna come and watch Napoleon Dynamite in April
the movie and Napoleon Dynamite is gonna be there.
Speaker 12 (42:39):
Yes, the cast will be there. So you watch the
movie Napoleon Dynamite's cast of John Heater, Ephrin Ramirez and
John Grease. Then take the stage, do Q and A
with the audience and tell stories and throw tat types
of people.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Very good, All right, Mobile Sanger Theater, Thank you, Ryan
Pablo Foster, thank you AUNC and more Uncle Henry show
to come after we check traffic, weather and words from
our beautiful sponsors. Uncle Henry Show continues here on news
Radio seven ten WNTM. It says the Uncle Henry Show
(43:21):
here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. News headlines are
coming up in ten minutes before we get they're gonna
get some voicemail. The voicemail number is two five one
seven zero six bull two five one seven zero six
(43:41):
two eight five five Now. Yesterday, in the six o'clock
hour of The Uncle Henry Show, I shared with you
a voicemail from sixty seven year old Chris of West Locksley,
where he described going to the the the monthly church
lunch at his church. He described all these wonderful things
(44:02):
that he ate at the church pot luck dinner.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
Bye and king homemade kingcake for dessert. Yeah, oh, about
three different kinds of taters, a tater cast roll, mash taters,
and all of.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
This sounds like bliss to me. I'm a big casserole enjoyer.
Speaker 5 (44:21):
One of them kind of salads that are real good. Yeah,
I call it a green salad. I don't know what
the real name.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
As a poise to an orange salad.
Speaker 5 (44:31):
And I believe that might have been about all the
Lord knows. That was enough I had to bring some
home with me.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
I had to bring some home with him. Well, for
whatever reason, this voicemail upset the Well. I don't know
if it upset him or not. What we can listen together?
The mad Trucker LD. The mad Trucker chiming in on
sixty seven year old Chris and his his eating the
church lunch.
Speaker 9 (44:56):
Hey, well, Harry LD, just when you thought it couldn't
get any worse, it did. The Locksley Church mooch Christ
from Locksley. Not only does he come over there and
eat that church once a month, out of house and home.
Now he's bringing food home. It was so good he
(45:18):
had to take some with him. What does this man
bring to the table other than an empty belly? How God, Chris,
shame on you, Shame on you, duff. You're bringing some
food up there. I'll retract everything I said. But you
never talk about bringing a casserole up there, mooch from Locksley.
You talk about eating a casserole at the church. You
(45:41):
don't ever talk about mashed potatoes you brought up there.
You talk about gorging yourself with mashed potatoes, fried chicken
and whatnot. You groude yourself and then you leave. Man
what a what a sad individual. I let that church
pray for you alive. One day, pray that once you
(46:02):
get there you'll eat and leave. And the other day
pray that when after you eat and lead, you've never
come back. You bring nothing to the table, nothing but
a mooch, a largely church mooch. That's how you are, sir.
Speaker 5 (46:19):
Are you are all right? Well?
Speaker 1 (46:21):
How about this? Now, this is a church LD.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
Sixty seven year old Chris is bringing something very very
valuable to the table when he goes to that church,
and that is his daughter.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
His young daughter is getting churched up.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
And that is of great value not just to the
daughter and to Chris, but also to the church itself
and the future, the future.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
Of the church.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
So I think you may not know what he brings
to the table that is not physical. I know that
sixty seven year old Chris has told us that he is.
He also goes to some type of some type of meeting,
some morning meeting, one a week with men of the
church doing some prayer. So let's ld the mad trucker.
Let's uh, let's wait for other details. Let's wait for Well,
(47:10):
I'm not gonna tell you you've already you've leapt to
your conclusion, and that as an American still allegedly a
semi free country. So if you wish to leap to
your conclusion, of course you can ld Mad Trucker thank
you for your voicemail voice my number two five one
seven zero six bull two five one seven zero six
two eighty five five and to sixty seven year old Chris,
(47:32):
thank you for that voicemail. I love hearing about the
church potluck lunch. I may have to visit, Yes, I
may have to visit now I will. Of course I'll
check in advance with the Mad Trucker to see what
he suggests I bring as a visitor. But I might
have to visit this church just to check it all
(47:54):
out now before I'm out of time. One last voicemail
the evening Here is once again sixty seven year old
Chris of West Locksley with something that involving the weather.
Speaker 9 (48:07):
Roll tied TI.
Speaker 5 (48:09):
This thought just happened to occur to me and it's
weather related, and if there's any meteorologists out there listening,
hopefully you'll phone in and give Uncle Henry the answer. Yes,
the question is this currently at eight forty six pm
on here on my phone, my smartphone, it displays Locksley,
(48:30):
thirty four degrees feels like twenty three degrees. Okay, if
it feels like twenty three degrees. Look, if I set
a bowl of water outside, yeah, and it remained at
thirty four, would that water freeze because it feels like
(48:50):
it's twenty three degrees? Or would it not freeze because
it's actually thirty four degrees, which is two degrees above freeze.
And if it does not freeze because it's thirty four degrees,
then that's what it feels like, is thirty four degrees.
But if it freezes it feels like twenty three, well
(49:13):
then we got a different story I reckon. But if
anybody out there can answer that, I sure would appreciate it.
This is sixty seven year old Chris from West Locksley
signing off.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
Okay, well, thank you for your official sign off. Rarely
do the voicemailer sign off officially, so thank you Chris
for that. All right, And if you can answer his
questions two five one seven zero six two eight five
five that's two five one seven zero six two eight
five five to answer the vital question about wind chill
(49:52):
and feels like well, it feels.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
Like temperature all right at a time.
Speaker 3 (49:55):
Thank you for listening to the show, as they say
in Sarahland, have a good one, as they say in Theodore,
take it easy
Speaker 1 (50:05):
All right later m
You know what woke means. It means you're a loser.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Everything woke, everything woke. It's true, everything woke turns to shit.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Okay, true, it's true. Look at what's happening.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
This there's the Uncle Henry Show here on news radio
seven ten wnt M. Thank you so much. I appreciate
very much you're listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Here.
We are together again, another day together, another evening together.
Me and you trying to figure things out together. Telephone
(01:15):
numbers 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 iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
A lot to get to, of course.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
On today's Uncle Henry Show Mobile City Council meeting, we
had that happen today. We had a quite a link
and there was a guy from al dot in town,
Alabama Department of Transportation talking about the building of the fantasy.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Bridge, the the.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Dream bridge, the bridge that people have fantasized about for years.
The guy in town from al DOTT was saying that
maybe what let.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Me look at the right words here could all right.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
This is from Landyapmobile dot com. That's where you get
local news landyapmobile dot com. They say that the construction
of the new bridge could begin in the final months
of twenty twenty five. We've got a wonderful could. Isn't
that wonderful to have a could? And now I'd like
(02:24):
a wood? But I guess coulds better than won't think
about you. These are things to think about. But I'm
gonna I'm gonna look at the glasses half full. So
there's there's a could. All you got to do is
change one letter on there and it would be would.
So we'll keep our fingers crossed on that, just not
too tightly because you might lose those if you have
(02:46):
to wait too long. Now, one of my favorite things
that happen today. A lot of people have been talking
about it already. I've looked at it on social media.
I saw some of the press conference today. President Trump
gave a lengthy what was it a two hour press
conference today? Startling contrast between President Trump and President Biden
(03:10):
in that Donald Trump does have the stamina to speak
for that length of time, and he said something that
has made a lot of waves, no pun intended.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a
beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf
of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate. It's appropriate?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Is?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
It?
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Really?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Is this?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
By the way, I am enjoying this tremendously, not because
I had a problem with the name Gulf of Mexico.
Is I can't think of anything more Donald Trump than that.
That is about us. This is about it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
This is peak Trump that we're experiencing.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You may have already thought you experienced in peak Trump,
but he has really ever since they tried to kill him,
he has just been building and building and becoming more
Trumpish and more trumpish. And now here we are with
the renaming.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
What are we gonna call it again?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You know, I thought about this. I thought about it. First.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I thought, I don't know, I don't know about this
because I've been I've been saying Gulf of Mexico my
entire life. But then I thought, after working in the
business community, one of the worst excuses for continuing to
do something is the excuse that, well, that's the way
we've always done it. So love I love that he's
(04:50):
thinking this big.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I love. Now.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You may not like it, may irritate you, and I'm
glad in a way that it is, because it's kind
of a litmus test for me to figure out what
you're all about. But I love the just I love
the train of thought here that we're not going to
do things the same old way anymore. Might add some
territory to the United States, might change the name of
(05:14):
the Gulf of Mexico to the Golf of America Gulf
of America. The more I say it and think about it,
the more I like it. In fact, I'm pretty sure
that merchandises probably rolled out started rolling out minutes after
Donald Trump talked about this. I've got to look online
and to see if there's already Gulf of America shirts
(05:35):
and bumper stickers and all that kind of stuff. And
I wonder what other things. There's got to be other
things that can be renamed. And please, if you feel
upset about the renaming of things, then what about all
these military bases that are having their names changed. I'm
(05:56):
looking forward to all these the possibilities of things being renamed,
and what about something locally? Would you would you be
okay with Dog River? I love dogs, by the way,
would you be okay with Dog River being renamed something
like Liberty River? Now I can't help but say it
(06:18):
that way. I can't just say I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I can't. I have to say it Liberty River.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I don't know why, but the word liberty just comes
out of me that way.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Liberty River just something like this, something to think about.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I'm going to think about it, and I will send
some type of handwritten letter to the new administration and
give them some suggestions of things locally that maybe we
could rename and make them more patriotic. Again, I have
nothing against dogs.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But Liberty River.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I think Liberty River would be wonderful. In fact, I
maybe could look at numerous things to rename around here.
In fact, I wish our local leaders would get ahead
of this. You know they're planning on moving the airport.
You may have heard this that we're gonna have the
Mobile International Airport at Brookly. So why would you continue
(07:09):
to call Airport Boulevard and Mobile Airport Boulevard?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Why would you do it?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Why not rename Airport Boulevard. And we've had years of
people complaining not only about Airport Boulevard, but about the
airport that's at the end of Airport Boulevard. People have
been complaining about the road, and they've been complaining about
the airport. So why not have a palette cleanser. Maybe
the new mayor can get this going, whoever that turns
out to be Connie Hudson or whoever it's going to be.
(07:37):
Maybe we could rename Airport Boulevard and we don't have
to call it something like Liberty or Freedom or something
like that. We could keep it something relevant locally like
Saban Street, something like that. You know what I'm saying,
Bear Bryant Boulevard, Sabin Street, something locally relevant that that
(08:00):
would mean something to local people. Just some things to
think about. It's exciting, isn't it. This new era of
the Golden Age is we're beginning a new Golden age
in the United States of America with a new president
and renaming of the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf
of America. All these different things, all right, look a
lot to get to. As I mentioned, the Bobill City
(08:20):
Council meeting, we have communications from listeners. All that and
more coming up as the Uncle Henry Show continues here

That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Today there was
a Mobile City Council meeting. It was blessedly brief. I
think it was under fifty minutes. Keep up the good work, council.
Keep those meetings going along real quick now. Even with
a meeting though, if you go watch the meeting on YouTube,
(09:56):
if you enjoy political hot air and just politicians that
love to hear themselves talk. Even though it was a
short meeting, there were still a lot of the council
really wanted to talk. They had their little announcement time
at the end of the meeting, and they just there
was just talking and talking and talking.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They just love it. They just enjoyed. They enjoy the microphone.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I understand maybe maybe they should get into radio once
voted out, if that happens. But the council meeting today,
they had they had some remarks from Mayor Stimpson. I
thought you might want to hear.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I'm going to play you the mayor's remarks. Now, if
you're driving, try to stay alert because this will you
will get drowsy listening to the mayor. But that's just
a natural side effect of his calm uh low charisma
manner of speaking. He's he's been a great mayor. A
lot of us have thought he's done a great job
(10:52):
in many instances. But still the public speaking part could
make you drowsy. So if you're driving, just be very careful.
This is some hortant if you're cold. He's got cold
weather information for us. Here he is the mayor from
today's Mobile City Council meeting.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
First thing I like to talk about, and obviously if
you came here. You know that we've got severe cold
weather severe presently and we.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Could severe cold. I believe it was thirty severe.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Continue off for the next two or three days. A
special thank you goes down to the Waterfront Rescue Mission
who's helping coordinate the shelters for those who need it
during these frigid times.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Other participating these are frigid times. He's got away with.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Words shelters that are trying to make sure that nobody's
sleeping out in the coal uh. In addition to the
Waterfront Rescue Mission or the Central Presbyterian Church, mckimmy Place,
Salvation Army, Ryan's Refuge, and the Theatre of Church of God,
anyone who needs shelter during the cold can call two
(11:57):
five to one four three three eighteen forty seven. That's
two five one four three three eighteen forty seven, or
you can call four four four to two six oh
onet eight. Also, I'd like to say that the Wave
Transit has agreed to be waving fees on the fixed
routes for anyone who needs transportation to these shelters.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
All right, very nice free bus ride to your shelter
from the cold. Glad that we have that available. Now
there are more remarks from the mayor. I don't know
if I should play these. I've already played about a minute,
and I don't want anybody to doze off and go
off the side of the road. Let me see, so
(12:40):
I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Let me see if I play more than that.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Thing I'd like to bring attention to is that I
Office of Supply Diversity in Community.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Anyway, look watching on, I don't want anybody to wreck
their car because they're drowsing. Find the rest of this
on YouTube. The mayor speaks at the at the beginning
of the meeting to the assembled at the Mobile City
Council meeting. Now, after the council meeting, they had a
finance committee meeting where they talked about the cost of
(13:08):
the new the replacement for the Mobile Civic Center. Now
according to lanyapmobile dot com. That's where I get local
info lanyatmobile dot com. According to their story this afternoon,
written by Dale Leash, the cost for this new project
(13:28):
this this replacement for the civic center will be around
three hundred and two million dollars now around now, based
on my experience covering local governments building things, around three
hundred and two million dollars means more means more than
(13:50):
three hundred and two million dollars. I don't know how
much more. That's just based on my experience. Around three
hundred two million means there'd be more than that, a
little bit more than that three hundred and two million dollars. Now,
this is a month before bids for construction are due,
(14:11):
a lot of discussion on financing all of this. One
of the things that caught my attention was that they
are going to see if Mobile County would like to
partner up in this. See if Mobile County. The City's
(14:32):
reached out to Mobile County to ask if they want
a partner in the facility. You know, I'm gonna I'm
gonna based on my previous years of experience. I don't
know what will happen, but based on my previous years
of watching local governments, I'm gonna say that the county
would like to The county will probably want to partner
(14:53):
in the facility because governmental entities like box seats. They
they like really good seats, whether it's a stadium, concert venue,
whatever it is. Local government officials they like having box
seats of some kind. So I would not be shocked
(15:16):
if the county would try to figure out how to
be involved in this.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Just get some really nice seats. Seats are good. Having
nice seats are good. You know, life.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
People talk about getting a lot of money and stuff
in life, but experiences, experiences, having the memories of great
experiences are very important. And I'm sure that the experience
of having box seats will be very It'll be difficult
to turn down from the county, but we'll I'll wait
(15:47):
and see if the county is involved in this or not.
So anyway, if you want to read that, that's at
lan Yetmobile dot com all the ins and outs of
the new arena replacing the Mobile Civic Center, and also
the story I told you about in the last segment
of the show where al Don was in town talking
about how possibly they could break ground for the new

Fantasy Bridge at the end of this year. Again, the
word is could, It's not would, it's could. Two five

I've got many other topics to get to and communications
from listeners coming up after the break. Here on News

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Show it is five thirty five.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Telephone number two five one four seventy nine seventy two three.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Hello Color, Are you speaking with me?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I'm speaking with you, sir.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Well, that's wonderful. I'm speaking with you. I feel honored.
I've known you. I mean, I've seen you and whatever.
I'm a fifth generation Mobilion, so I've got super deep roots.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Yeah, Peter Tanner is my name. And oh, I was
just gonna you were talking about the name changes of things,
and yes, some of the name changes. I'm really supportive
of the change of the Gulf name. But there's changes
that has happened in the past that many people don't
realize that. Originally, when the French explorers were exploring, I
(19:04):
came up into Mobile Bay, and I might have the
exact pronunciation wrong. A Mobile Bay was by here the
Deo Santos was Mobile Bay, which was the Bay of
the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yes, what it was named.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
And then there's now a Foul River which was originally
Ilowis River, which was Isle of Geese is the translation.
And then Dog River you were talking about that earlier, Yes,
was just like the road was Rivier d Shane, which
(19:43):
is river River of the dog. And you know how
much more intriguing would it be to come across the
Gulf with this new name and come into Bahia the
Deo Santos and passed by Eloi River and come into
Riviera DeShane. You know, would just sound a lot better
(20:07):
than than Mobile Bay and Fail River and Dold River,
you know. So you know, I'm not into marketing, but boy,
I mean, it would just sure sound a lot better.
And I just wanted to make that company.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I'm glad. I'm glad you did. I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And and I have I've noted that through the years
there have been some people that have tried to get
Mobile Bay renamed Bay of the Holy Spirit, the back
to the to the h the earlier name. They didn't
have a lot of luck with that. I don't I
don't know that we'll be able to do that one
or pull that one off, but uh, I'm in I'm
in favor of all this kind of.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Stuff right to me too. And then just speaking of naming,
I told you my name was Peter Tanner and with
my deep roots Tanner Williams Room that was named after
my grandfather back in the day. And I'm sort of
proud of that as being a mobile union. Yeah, that
came from mister Williams and my grandfather were friends and
(21:11):
they built the original or funded and built original school
which was named for them, and then the community and
the road took on that name. So there's a lot
of My point is there's a lot of meaning behind
things getting named for such absolutely. Yes, all right, well,
(21:32):
I do appreciate you very much and I've been a
big fan for decades.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Well, sir, thank you very very much. I've enjoyed your
call tremendously.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Thank you so much, sir.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
There he goes mister Tanner. By the he mentioned Tanner Williams.
I was looking I was uploading the podcast yesterday of
the Uncle Henry Show. Uncle Henry Show available as a podcast,
and I was looking at the stats and I saw
that the asigned from Mobile get most of my downloads
are from Mobile. But I saw that the second place
(22:10):
on the list most downloads in a community was Tanner Williams.
And I kept thinking, what's why are the people of
Tanner Williams downloading the Uncle Henry Show more so than
say Daphne or fair Hope or Sarah Land. The beautiful Chickasaw.
(22:30):
I guess I need to go spend some more time
out in Tanner Williams and find out who the Uncle
Henry show fans are there out there in Tanner Williams. Hey,
if you're listening to Tanner Williams, God bless you all right?
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Hello caller, Hey over Henry, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Snake trapper snake? Happy New Year to you? What's going
on with you?
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I wait?
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Nothing to it over Henry, A man, you have a
lot of fans out here in my West Mobile and
the Tanner Williams area, Uncle Henry. As a matter of fact,
I was in wend dyc at airport and snow last
night about eight o'clock, and I had my pink snake
trapper shirt on Uncle Henry, and this Spellow approached me
and introduced me to him and told me, I want
(23:10):
to tell me a story. He said, a few nights ago,
he was on State Line Road, which is far west
Mobile as far as you can go with Mobile County.
Said about eight o'clock he was running down the road
over Henry and said, all of a sudden there was
a possum crossing the road in front of him, and
he said, just his natural reflexes. He he flinched and
(23:31):
snatched the car. Well, two wheels went off the road,
and he said he almost flipped his car. He said,
but Trappor, I want you to know, he said, I
missed that thing, he said, and I'm happy for it.
And Henry, I told him, I said, look, man, I said,
don't ever do that. You know, if you come across
that situation, most of your SUVs and you pick up trucks,
(23:53):
if you'll just center them, you know, they had the
clearance to actually ride over the top of them. But uh,
man no means to anybody out there, don't ever snatch
your vehicle off the road or do anything that can
endanger your life.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Or the best thing you can do is just try
to slow down and then if nothing else centered But
uh yeah, man, I enjoy talking that fellow, Henry. He said,
he's a big listener to your show and has been
for many years. And uh he did ask me too,
He said, I want to ask you something he says,
is that uncle Henry a real person? And what yes, sir, that's.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
What he said.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
What a question is a man? I bust that laugh,
And I said, look here, man, I said, he is
definitely not Ai, I said, And if he's a robot,
I said, he sure got me food. But uh, man,
it struck me because you said somebody asked you that
about me the other day.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
They did.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
They asked me if you were really that, if you
really sounded like that in person, or if you were
just pretending to.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Be snake Trapper.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
And uh and I laughed, of course, because you you
are off antically who you are? You the listener snake
trappers like this, A lot of us have been invited
out to snake Trapper's house. Snake Trapper is who he is?
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Uh yeah, for Henry. And I'm telling you, man, like
I said, you got a big following out here. And
this fellow claims he's listening to you for a long time.
And it just amazed me that he asked me if
you was real man. I mean, I cracked up, man,
I just thought that was hilarious. So anyway, his name
was David, and I told him, I said, Man, call
in and tell Uncle Henry that story about that.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I said.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
He had really enjoyed. I said, but man, by no
means don't ever risk your life leaving the highway or
nothing like that. But man, he was just tickled to death.
Did he save the possums? So there is one out
here in the Westbobillo area alive because of David.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, your evangelism for possums, in the preservation of possums
is paying off.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Yes, sir, it is Uncle Henry. And who knows David
may have saved the species. North America is only Marsupio.
So man, it was really fine.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I enjoyed talking with it.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
All right, well, hey, thank you for telling.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Me that, yes, they're over here, and you take care buddy.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You too, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Snake Trapper Hello caller, Hello, Oh, I loved it. I
got hung up on by some now who knows, who knows.
That might have been a person that was so nervous
to go on the radio. They just hung up, just
couldn't couldn't, couldn't fa Or it could have been somebody
(26:33):
calling to tell me the same story and Snake Trapper
beat them to it. Whatever it is, whoever you were,
bless your heart. I don't I don't mind being hung
up on. In fact, I've told you before you the listener,
I do enjoy when the listener hangs up on me,
so I don't have to do the dirty work of
hanging up on you. So thank you for hanging up
(26:54):
on me. Whoever you were. And it could have been
somebody shy, could have been somebody on meth you just
you don't know, could have been a wrong number confused.
Let's say, oh, I've got to go to break. I
want to hear the traffic in the weather, words from
our sponsors, and then going to have a little bit
more Uncle Henry should have come for you here on
(27:15):
news radio seven to ten wnt I told you yesterday
that on ninety five KSJ this week we're giving away

about some upcoming events this month and next month at
(28:36):
the Sanger. That and more coming up in the next
half hour of Uncle Henry Show after six o'clock here
on News Radio seven ten WNTL. Now, before go any further,
I just want to send condolences out to the family
(28:58):
of doctor John Switzer. Now doctor John Switzer was a
theology professor at spring Hill College. He taught theology at
Springhill College, I think for about fifteen years, doctor Switzer,
and he was a semi regular caller to the Uncle
(29:20):
Henry Show. He used to call the show frequently and
would send emails to the show. He called himself the
Liberty Professor, the Liberty Professor, And I remember doctor Switzer
when he would call in. He was always very strongly conservative,
(29:41):
but at the same time extremely kind and forgiving the
way you might want a theologian to be. He would
make strong conservative points, but I always had that that
kindness to him. He was always he's willing to engage
and get into some very friendly debate with anybody that
(30:04):
disagreed with him. Enjoyed his phone calls tremendously. Now you
may not remember the liberty professor. He stopped calling after
I switched from mornings to afternoons. Let's see if I
can go into the archives. I think I've got a
call from the liberty professor.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
This is brief.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
He was watching the City of Mobile maintaining the flower
beds around the cannon at the loop, and he called
in with these thoughts.
Speaker 10 (30:39):
Hey, uncle Henry, this's a professor. I'm down on the loop.
I just passed the cannon. Kind of amazing. They're replacing
the flowers in that tiny little triangle around the cannon.
Looks like maybe they're putting it in pansies for the wintertime.
Looks real nice, Henry. But guess what it takes? Six
city workers? No, last six. I just looked. I was
(31:02):
stopped at delight, and I counted every one of them, Henry,
six paid city workers.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Now see, I described him as conservative because he's of course,
he's pointing out the cost to the taxpayer of maintaining
all of this to put.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
In a few flowers and spread a little bit.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Of the dirt.
Speaker 10 (31:22):
About half of them were standing around on their rakes.
The other half we're moving a little bit putting those
flowers in. Is it any wonder. We need to get
that penny back, get that sales tax higher, Henry. We
got to pay all these folks stand around and got
to pay a bunch of extra ones to help put
those heavy flowers in. You know, flowers are heavy, Henry.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
I have a good one message deleted the Liberty Professor
another morning. This is much. This is even briefer. I
was talking about somebody had called in and said, we
have feels like temperatures. We ought to have feels like times.
This was when the Uncle Henry Show started at five
o'clock in the morning. Feels like times.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
Hey, Uncle Henry, listening to the radio and you're talking
about feels like time. Well, and you said it's eight
thirty eight and it feels like eight thirty eight, and
it feels good to you. Well, I want you to
know that your listeners always feel good when you're on
the air. I feel good. Vote with Uncle Henry. I
(32:29):
should vote. Uh, don't catch you later, Henry.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Thank you, Liberty Professor for doctor John Switzer, Springhial College.
Thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show for
all those years and always being soap even when you
would call in complain about things. The federal government was
doing with tax dollars, and he'd called in about the
federal guvernment a lot way more than local.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Doctor Switcher.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
You're always you always had a positivity to you as
you were constructively criticizing our federal or local governments. So
I appreciate your phone calls. Condolences to your family, Doctor
John Switzer, the Liberty Professor. And I did see that
his funeral is going to take place. According to posts
(33:19):
on Facebook, his funeral will take place at Saint Pierre's
Episcopal Church January eighteenth in Columbus, Mississippi. Doctor Switcher would
drive in from Mississippi. He commuted and he would listen
to the show as he commuted from Mississippi into Alabama
(33:39):
to teach at spring Hill College. So again, condolences to
his family and condolences to all of his friends and
colleagues out at spring Hill College. We'll miss him, will
miss his point of view, his positivity. There is more

I say it incorrectly.
Speaker 12 (34:56):
To reinforce that WNTM is the call letters of the

I don't have a lot of dental work yet, so

Speaker 12 (35:12):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Mine was not slipping. Now, I may have a neurological
issue due to my age. Was I slurring my speech?

are the people that pretend they go in and they
pretend that they're the original performers.
Speaker 12 (37:14):
Right, Yes, I would call it a supergroup of tribute artists.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Okay, yes, okay, a supergroup of tribute artists, and they're
gonna be doing the the Beatles Abbey Road. Explain how
this works to the listener.
Speaker 12 (37:28):
So, the way this works, the entire concept of the
Black Jacket Symphony is it's not a symphony, it's a
rock and roll concert. The Black Jacket Symphony takes a
classic album, in this case the Beatles Abbey Road. They
have found players who can mimic those sounds sound like Paul, John,
George and Ringo, and they can come in and they
will do the entire Abbey Road album in the way
(37:51):
you used to hear it on vinyl. So you would
put the needle on side A, track one and you
would listen to the entire album. So they will play
all those songs in that order, then take a break,
come back and do side B from track one all
the way through. Then they will take a little break
right there and do their little encore and do all
(38:13):
of that artist's greatest hits. So come back with a
bunch of Beatles hits from other Beatles albums at the
end of the show.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
All right, I've already learned something here. I've already learned
something from Ryan Pablo Foster.
Speaker 12 (38:24):
I like to be educational.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Well, you you.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Felt the need to explain to the news radio seventy
ten WNTM listener how an album worked. Do you encounter
people that don't understand.
Speaker 12 (38:38):
Well, you know, I was on Fox ten with Joe
Emer this morning and I was not sure he understood
how vinyl worked. We had a discussion about that. So
sometimes you do encounter people who were maybe not as
skilled with the older methods of entertainment media.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
I remember listening to eight track and people would probably
find it insane in modern times, but the eight track
would interrupt songs. Yeah, you know, when it would go
over from one to the other. Yeah, it would actually
interrupt the song.
Speaker 8 (39:10):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Anyway, So Blackjacket Simphony, is this Friday night or there's
still tickets available.
Speaker 12 (39:15):
There are some tickets available. You want to grab those
at the box office. You can do that, save yourself
a couple of bucks on fees, or you can get
them on Ticketmaster. And of course, then at the end
of the show, they'll announce what their next show will be.
They will be coming back in the spring, and they
will announce Friday night what that show is going to be.
And I got it, I got word. It's it should
be a good one.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Okay, Well, they generally don't do bad ones. Well I
would consider most of them not my cup of tea,
of course. Well, but but they pick some really top artists.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (39:46):
Absolutely, They've done the Eagles, Queen, Guns n' Roses, so
many it's.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
And some good ones and some good ones. Now, now
what let's go. Let's go into February. What you got
coming up in February. The singer that the listeners would.
Speaker 12 (40:00):
One of your favorites, I think obviously Alice Cooper will
be coming in February.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Fourth, No, not one of my favorites.
Speaker 12 (40:08):
No, you don't like the schlock horror rock thing.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
I don't need to see. I don't know how it
is now in his seventies. I don't need to need
to see a seventy year old with a boa constrict
around his neck, biting the heads off of bats and
things like.
Speaker 12 (40:21):
Alice Cooper will be seventy seven, seventy seventh the day
of the show at the Sanger, which his birthday.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
It will be his birthday, so yes, seventy seven, So.
Speaker 12 (40:31):
I expect we'll have a birthday cake for him and
him made of bats or bubble constrictors or something.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
As I mentioned to you before on this, you know
Pat Boone's still alive. You could why not Pat Boone
at the Sanger Theater.
Speaker 12 (40:46):
I don't know that the stage show is quite what
Alice Cooper brings.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
I'm sure it's not, but you know, okay, we could
look into it.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Now looking at it, come up with some more stuff.
What else is going to be at the sound.
Speaker 12 (40:57):
Something on the other side of the musical spectrum from
Alice Cooper's hard rock You've got the very next day,
February fifth, you got Drew and Ellie hulkm coming singer songwriter,
a husband and wife team you know, came out of
the Christian music world together years ago, still out there touring,
doing a great show, very.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Very much.
Speaker 12 (41:17):
The other end of the spectrum from Alas Scooper Klae
Cooper is energy and shock. They are a little more chill,
writing beautiful songs.
Speaker 5 (41:24):
Now.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
They're pretty energy. They're not devil energy. They're more angelic energy.
Speaker 12 (41:30):
That's a good way to put it on. Yes, Drew
and Lli Hulk them coming up February fifth, That's going
to be a fantastic show. Tracy Lawrence just announced right
before Christmas. We've got a great country show coming in
Tracy Lawrence March thirteenth, March Sigott zz top, which is
almost sold out. By the way, you want to go
ahead and lock in tickets for that.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
I'm surprised that zz Tomp has not sold out in
a venue the size of the singer. That is surprising.
Speaker 12 (41:54):
Well, you know, I think it's I think it was Christmas.
I think in the economy, you know, inflation's been rough
on folks this year. I think I might have slowed
things down just a little bit. People have to budget
a little better, but you have that coming up. You've
got Alton Brown, the noted foodie. He'll be doing his
show March fifth. So we got a lot of things
for a lot of different tastes.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
God to the singer, So, Ryan Pablo Foster, where can
people get information about all these these Sanger events.
Speaker 12 (42:20):
You can go to Mobilesanger dot com. You can follow
us on any of the social media platforms, and of
course you can always just go to ticketmaster dot com
and search for Singer Theater.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Okay, and we forgot to mention the Napoleon Diamond you show.
People are gonna come and watch Napoleon Dynamite in April
the movie and Napoleon Dynamite is gonna be there.
Speaker 12 (42:39):
Yes, the cast will be there. So you watch the
movie Napoleon Dynamite's cast of John Heater, Ephrin Ramirez and
John Grease. Then take the stage, do Q and A
with the audience and tell stories and throw tat types
of people.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Very good, All right, Mobile Sanger Theater, Thank you, Ryan
Pablo Foster, thank you AUNC and more Uncle Henry show
to come after we check traffic, weather and words from
our beautiful sponsors. Uncle Henry Show continues here on news
Radio seven ten WNTM. It says the Uncle Henry Show
(43:21):
here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. News headlines are
coming up in ten minutes before we get they're gonna
get some voicemail. The voicemail number is two five one
seven zero six bull two five one seven zero six
(43:41):
two eight five five Now. Yesterday, in the six o'clock
hour of The Uncle Henry Show, I shared with you
a voicemail from sixty seven year old Chris of West Locksley,
where he described going to the the the monthly church
lunch at his church. He described all these wonderful things
(44:02):
that he ate at the church pot luck dinner.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
Bye and king homemade kingcake for dessert. Yeah, oh, about
three different kinds of taters, a tater cast roll, mash taters,
and all of.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
This sounds like bliss to me. I'm a big casserole enjoyer.
Speaker 5 (44:21):
One of them kind of salads that are real good. Yeah,
I call it a green salad. I don't know what
the real name.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
As a poise to an orange salad.
Speaker 5 (44:31):
And I believe that might have been about all the
Lord knows. That was enough I had to bring some
home with me.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
I had to bring some home with him. Well, for
whatever reason, this voicemail upset the Well. I don't know
if it upset him or not. What we can listen together?
The mad Trucker LD. The mad Trucker chiming in on
sixty seven year old Chris and his his eating the
church lunch.
Speaker 9 (44:56):
Hey, well, Harry LD, just when you thought it couldn't
get any worse, it did. The Locksley Church mooch Christ
from Locksley. Not only does he come over there and
eat that church once a month, out of house and home.
Now he's bringing food home. It was so good he
(45:18):
had to take some with him. What does this man
bring to the table other than an empty belly? How God, Chris,
shame on you, Shame on you, duff. You're bringing some
food up there. I'll retract everything I said. But you
never talk about bringing a casserole up there, mooch from Locksley.
You talk about eating a casserole at the church. You
(45:41):
don't ever talk about mashed potatoes you brought up there.
You talk about gorging yourself with mashed potatoes, fried chicken
and whatnot. You groude yourself and then you leave. Man
what a what a sad individual. I let that church
pray for you alive. One day, pray that once you
(46:02):
get there you'll eat and leave. And the other day
pray that when after you eat and lead, you've never
come back. You bring nothing to the table, nothing but
a mooch, a largely church mooch. That's how you are, sir.
Speaker 5 (46:19):
Are you are all right? Well?
Speaker 1 (46:21):
How about this? Now, this is a church LD.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
Sixty seven year old Chris is bringing something very very
valuable to the table when he goes to that church,
and that is his daughter.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
His young daughter is getting churched up.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
And that is of great value not just to the
daughter and to Chris, but also to the church itself
and the future, the future.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
Of the church.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
So I think you may not know what he brings
to the table that is not physical. I know that
sixty seven year old Chris has told us that he is.
He also goes to some type of some type of meeting,
some morning meeting, one a week with men of the
church doing some prayer. So let's ld the mad trucker.
Let's uh, let's wait for other details. Let's wait for Well,
(47:10):
I'm not gonna tell you you've already you've leapt to
your conclusion, and that as an American still allegedly a
semi free country. So if you wish to leap to
your conclusion, of course you can ld Mad Trucker thank
you for your voicemail voice my number two five one
seven zero six bull two five one seven zero six
two eighty five five and to sixty seven year old Chris,
(47:32):
thank you for that voicemail. I love hearing about the
church potluck lunch. I may have to visit, Yes, I
may have to visit now I will. Of course I'll
check in advance with the Mad Trucker to see what
he suggests I bring as a visitor. But I might
have to visit this church just to check it all
(47:54):
out now before I'm out of time. One last voicemail
the evening Here is once again sixty seven year old
Chris of West Locksley with something that involving the weather.
Speaker 9 (48:07):
Roll tied TI.
Speaker 5 (48:09):
This thought just happened to occur to me and it's
weather related, and if there's any meteorologists out there listening,
hopefully you'll phone in and give Uncle Henry the answer. Yes,
the question is this currently at eight forty six pm
on here on my phone, my smartphone, it displays Locksley,
(48:30):
thirty four degrees feels like twenty three degrees. Okay, if
it feels like twenty three degrees. Look, if I set
a bowl of water outside, yeah, and it remained at
thirty four, would that water freeze because it feels like
(48:50):
it's twenty three degrees? Or would it not freeze because
it's actually thirty four degrees, which is two degrees above freeze.
And if it does not freeze because it's thirty four degrees,
then that's what it feels like, is thirty four degrees.
But if it freezes it feels like twenty three, well
(49:13):
then we got a different story I reckon. But if
anybody out there can answer that, I sure would appreciate it.
This is sixty seven year old Chris from West Locksley
signing off.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
Okay, well, thank you for your official sign off. Rarely
do the voicemailer sign off officially, so thank you Chris
for that. All right, And if you can answer his
questions two five one seven zero six two eight five
five that's two five one seven zero six two eight
five five to answer the vital question about wind chill
(49:52):
and feels like well, it feels.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
Like temperature all right at a time.
Speaker 3 (49:55):
Thank you for listening to the show, as they say
in Sarahland, have a good one, as they say in Theodore,
take it easy
Speaker 1 (50:05):
All right later m
