Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle repeating the phone numbers to call the show fairly slow for those to understand and brings up something big in the life of co-call screener Jessica. The Uncle reports on the Fairhope First Baptist Church fire last night, which was attended by a female relative of his, one of the first to report on it. First caller shouted that he doesn't want to get blown up by the soon to be built LNG and an attack on "Bad Bill" by Jason by dressing up as him for Halloween. Answering machine caller plays his own tape of Mobile City Council member Clinton Johnson saying "emotionality". The Uncle checked if that is a real word. Wayne reacts to the Uncle's take on Halloween not being much a Christian holiday, which is sort of true (All Hollow's Eve). "Bad Bill" calls in, nope not reaction to Jason on dressing up as him for Halloween, but this time accuses the Uncle of being homosexual out of the blue. Well I'll be, as the Uncle summoned Jessica, she says he's crazy for accusing her of being sort of troubled. Even through all of that, the Uncle wishes her a happy 18th birthday, which is Monday. Milestones include voting and paying rent, according to the Uncle. Big news the news media should bring up, in the Uncle's opinion, is the massive economy boom for the first time since the Reagan era. Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the usual return of the Uncle after vacations and he describes last weekend's Alabama/Tennessee game to be like a carpet. Nope, no explanation from the Uncle. Leeana is in the room early for her reaction to the now proposed Exxon-Mobil LNG terminal. It appears Leeana may even relocate from the area close to where the LNG is going to be due to a possible fireball disaster. The Uncle reads e-mail from Fred Richardson, who has worked on LNG terminals, has information on the real safety of those things. Leeana is relaxed, at least for now. Sean congratulates the Uncle for letting Leeana host Monday's show and all of sudden wants someone like her to host today's show. If it weren't for callers like him, there would be more female hosts in the Uncle. Charlie Moss makes his observations on the LNG vote yesterday, which could have been voted down if certain folk were there. Could this be a first? The Uncle reminded the listeners of the ABC Newsbreak at the top of the 3'o clock hour of being "liberal". Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…wait a second, another day without the Uncle! Nope, Leeana and Scott O'Brien are not hosting today's Henry-less show, but John Bell again. Oh well, at least Gene and "Bad Bill" called into today's show. "Bad Bill" was still his old self by insulting Bell's guest from California, Cindy. Even though she was not hosting, Leeana was mentioned. Expect the Uncle's return tomorrow!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with a revised Uncle Henry theme and surprise (for most of you), Scott O'Brien and Leeana are hosting today's show while the Uncle takes another day off. According to e-mail Scott received from the EIB Network, Rush is doing well and will be back at the golden microphone soon. Tomorrow, the big vote on whether the Exxon-Mobil LNG plant shall be built near Hollinger's Island, pretty close to Leeana. Gene asks if there were any other female hosts besides Leeana hosting the show for the Uncle during the show's run, which is no according to Scott. "Bizarro Henry" manages to prank today's show, who earlier threaten pranks for today's show. Leeana's last name is revealed before the first break, which is Madison. Yet again, another mention of the recent wave of commercials aimed at 710's main demographic. Scott didn't refer to the half-hour ABC Newsbreak was not referred to as the "liberal news media" as the Uncle always called it. Interesting note on the situation with many dead fish floating around here, which is how odd that all of them appear to be the same size. August 1975, the date Scott O'Brien arrived in the Mobile region. Another big vote coming soon, for Baldwin County only, which is the vote for beer to be bought on Sundays on not. After talk with a caller on the Sunday beer vote, Scott describes today's show with Leeana and himself as a "kinder, gentle Uncle Henry Show". Today's show gets a 5/5!


By the way, the Uncle and News Radio 710 didn't make it in the Mobile Register Reader's Choice Awards.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle talking about the happenings this weekend, such as the Greater Gulf State Fair and the Alabama/Tennessee game this weekend. Once again, the Uncle is going to be off for a day. This time, the hosting duties go to Leeana. Sorry John Bell fans, not this time! Another reason the Uncle summoned Leeana was to bring up her vomiting after getting on the ride "Fireball". Even a fair ride can remind folks in the area of the possible Exxon-Mobil LNG plant of a probable fireball disaster. An interesting fax on the aftermath of the LNG plant was read. After the first caller being a prankster, Angie asks if the Uncle has kept his temper recently, which was lost yesterday, and suggests that he should run for mayor. He'd have to move back into the Mobile City Limits for that to be possible. Two reasons for the Uncle's vacation time: "Fake" reason, beating his Hall's Meats addiction, "real" reason, no over compensation. Again, a prankster kicks off the calling for the half-hour, which was pretty poor in the Uncle's opinion. Bo actually took the Uncle seriously on causing a ruckus if the supermarket doesn't have any Hall's Meats. Nope, he was not arrested, but got hauled off. A tape of "Grandpa" from yesterday's show is played. A little colored popcorn nostalgia is brought the Uncle's attention. After the show ended, listeners can hear the Uncle shouting "Roll Tide Roll" during a promo for 710 AM. Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle talking about time at the Greater Gulf State Fair, which was excellent! Most folks greeted the Uncle at the Hog Calling contest, but some just wanted to talk about the LNG situation with Exxon-Mobil. One of the folks reported to the Uncle that there are indeed top-less sunbathers on Gulf Shores, something the Uncle would definitely avoid. Hats off to the Auburn fans teaching at the University of Mobile! First two calls of the day were pranks, but the Uncle managed to keep his cool. So thanks to the call screening of co-screener Jessica, the Uncle plays an answering machine call instead. At last, a non-prankster caller calls in about the Exxon-Mobil ads in the Mobile Register, showing that this new terminal is slowing coming in. What appeared to be a nice compliment on the Uncle's coat he was wearing at the hog contest, Sean asks if coats like that are made for men. Before the ABC Newsbreak, the Uncle apologizes for loosing his tempter at Sean's call. The Uncle assumes that there is something that gets pranksters in while Jessica call screens. Jessica's summoned in by the Uncle to find out what she wanted to say, which is her report card for Murphy High School. "It's not even a card", says the Uncle. It appears that "English" and "Math" are to be included next semester. I must agree Uncle; public high schools have changed a lot! Other subjects include "basic photography", "zoology", and "Mobile, Alabama History". The Uncle just doesn't get this at all. It appears sewage from New Jersey is being brought into the Mobile region for reasons that should be investigated. "Grandpa" calls in about Steve Nodine once doing the weather on WEAR-TV3, which is not true at all. Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with Uncle saying how the show can help the economy of the Mobile, such as joining up with the Mobile Flea Market. A fast talker that Phillip was continuing his talk on the Pledge and Alaska & Hawaii's statehood. Much that call went over the Uncle's head, even Leroy's! Maybe a job with radio reporter Charlie Moss would be good for him, as the Uncle suggested. Gary, manager of the Greater Gulf State Fair calls in and get congrats from the Uncle on the "fairest" weather in recent years and brings up who the judges are for this year's hog calling contest. Speaking of hogs, nice pig humor during a call finding out if the Uncle will be wearing a costume for Halloween this year. Maybe the Uncle will come up with a good one at tonight's contest, likely not including "ointment". Pranking continues to slide in quality and the audio of Rush proves the Uncle's point. Leeana reports on the contest she hosted at the fair last night, which included folk such as Scott Walker singing Sinatra. Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle's grand return and said that it's now safe to listen to 710 AM. Must have been listening to John Bell during his three-day weekend. Don't forget that the Uncle will be hosting the Hog Calling Contest at the Greater Gulf State Fair. Leeana is summoned to talk about the Uncle's Internet research, thanks to some help by 710 web guy Ian, on a situation on the coast of California very similar to the Exxon-Mobil terminal situation going on around here. If you've heard the opening of recent shows, you may have heard a message that's against that new gas terminal. Well, the mother of the daughter that wrote that message called in about that. "While we're at it, lets add Puerto Rica and Cuba", says the Uncle jokingly after a caller's comments on opinions in newspapers about the Pledge and Alaska and Hawaii being added to the Union. "Bad Bill" calls in with his comments on that lady and daughter, which in his opinion is typical of a moron to use a child to fight stuff such as gas terminals. During a conversation between Leeana and Maurice on folks such as her against the plans of Exxon-Mobil, a car commercial airs. Looks like the Uncle forgot that it was time for an ABC Newsbreak. After the break, the Uncle described that conversation as "hypnotic" and promotes Leeana also hosting a contest at the Greater Gulf State Fair, which is tonight. The naming of places in Mobile in honor of politicians still in office is brought, which in the Uncle's opinion should happen after they're out of office. Expect something similar with Mike Dow someday. Today's show gets a 4.5/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show….. oh wait, the Uncle is taking his well deserved break! Yet again, John Bell is in taking the reigns for the day or two. Oh well, at least we had regular caller Gene and some prankster calling in. Now it appears the Uncle shall return tomorrow, which means we'll be one John Bell show short. Yes! Can't wait 'til he returns! Note to 710: Next time the Uncle's away, play a classic Uncle Henry, unless Scott O'Brien wants to fill in. Today's show gets a (reserved until the Uncle returns)!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle announcing his vacation days, which are next Monday and Tuesday, and talks about a dream he had the other night of the Crimson Tide winning this weekend's game. The Greater Gulf State Fair opens today and Leeana will be attending for a live broadcast Monday on 710. It's getting pretty clear why Barton Academy is now known as "the Central Office Building", by its employees. The Uncle agrees with a humorous suggestion of what to do with the wood of the oak tree that fell around Barton Academy, which is make to make paddles out of them. Turns out it was only an old school pretty close to Barton was the one to get hit by the tree, instead of Barton itself like many others think. The Uncle finally was able to obtain that video copy of Bobby Jackson during his Alabama quarterback years. Reported by Leeana, the group opposing the new Exxon-Mobil terminal went downtown yesterday to the city council to continue their effort. Another Henry/Henry conversation on an idea for marshmallow or cotton candy industry in Fairhope, which would be good for Mobile's Mardi Gras. The Uncle mentions an injury of his while fixing an alarm clock, which was kind of weird. Today's show gets a 4.5/5!

Pardon yesterday's absence, wasn't able to catch the show.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle almost not making his opening shout of "Thank you so much!" and promotes his fresh new TV show tonight on Comcast Cable Channel 6, which includes an interview with Theodore, Alabama's George Callahan. Nope, none of the Exxon-Mobil folks arrived at Hollinger's Island last night, according to Leeana. Either the date of their arrival was reported wrong, or they were just as scared as some folks against the new gas terminal. One good thing comes out of this, the Uncle got mentioned briefly at Hollinger's. That's right, the Uncle admitted his ignorance of Alabama's port authority. Interesting story found in the Mobile Register by the Uncle on Steve Nodine not speaking at the Mobile Democrats meeting. The Uncle suggests that Mike Dow should establish relations with the Mobile Flea Market or West Mobile instead of Cuba. Pretty quick finger punching by the Uncle, as a prank only lasted less than a second. Speaking of the Tide, thanks to some guy attempting to bring up former Alabama Coach Mike Price, videotape of Bobby Jackson during his Crimson Tide years is circulating around the Mobile area. Don't forget, the Uncle will be at the Greater Gulf State Fair next week hosting the "Hog calling" contest. Sounded like "hammock" Page said at the end of her call, along with another call similar to that one. More pranksters perhaps? Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Mobile region's only radio reporter Charlie Moss reporting on the latest reactions to the Exxon-Mobil terminal, which could possibly effect many residents near by. Leeana happens to be one of those residents. "Fireball", shouts the Uncle. Scott O'Brien enters the room with news on the Mobile Chamber of Commerce thinking this new terminal would be a great idea. More on this story will be on 710's "Mobile's First News with Scott O'Brien". Nope, this is not the Uncle, but in turns out that Henry C. Williams has been shouting out racial slurs for the past few weeks. The Uncle will look into the slur situation to confirm it. According to a caller's perspective (out of town, by the way), many folk who live in that area where the terminal is going to be are "scaredy cats" and "tree huggers", which don't apply to Leeana, and Exxon-Mobil would never let some disaster occur. For the first time in a while, the Uncle promotes the "Paul Finebaum Show", which airs after his show. Today's show gets a 5/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle saying he can past any drug test and talks about his childhood memories of Columbus Day, which was not considered something offensive back then. Ken calls if the Uncle gets tested for drugs, he would be found positive for Viagra. The Uncle cuts off both Ken and "Bad Bill" for bringing up offensive stuff like that. Free passes for the upcoming movie "Radio"(Cuba Gooding Jr.) are now available at Woody's Barbecue in Daphne. Alex Mathis corrects the Uncle with the location of "Radio's" screening, which is actually the Hollywood Theater. The only addictive you'll ever see the Uncle on is the Relive Fiber. First prank was a recording of Rush announcing his addiction to painkillers. Leeana was called in to discuss her weekend, which was pretty quiet as many others are. Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show on this rain soaked Friday and the Uncle comments on Rush announcing his departure for about 30 days after admitting he's been taking painkillers for some time. The Uncle promotes tonight's Uncle Henry TV Show with 95 KSJ's Shelby Mitchell big switch from Alabama fan to Auburn fan just because of her husband. Stirring controversy among both sides. Yes! Kathry calls in after not being able to get on due to the new phone system and puts in his thoughts on Rush 30-day departure to work out his problems. Yep, the Uncle was right about Rush being the top story on that ABC Newsbreak that's airs at about 2:30. Yet again, "Bad Bill" calls in about the Catholic Church and gets cut off once again. The Uncle summons Leeana to talk about Bobby Jackson's latest predictions for Alabama and Auburn. Nope, Leeana won't be attending the National Shrimp Festival since she doesn't like seafood. Maybe a Hall's Meats festival perhaps, says the Uncle. Well what the, a Rush impersonator calls in! Today's show gets a 3.5/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle reporting on the rain near the 710 studios interrupting the tearing down of the Village Theater and talks about taking a relative to get her eyes checked. Leeana's co-callscreener Jessica had to leave at the very last minute, forcing the Uncle to answer calls the old fashioned way. Just like the way Larry King did it years ago, says the Uncle. Best idea for a Mike Dow statue so far, which is a "two faced Dow" near the tunnel for sunlight to shine on either face during a time of day and as something for folks to see leaving Mobile for Baldwin County. "Bad Bill" calls in with what appears to be intelligent talk on the Catholic Church, but all of sudden he accuses the Pope of being homosexual. Around the time Paul Finebaum airs, the Uncle will be attending the National Shrimp Festival. The Uncle continued to wonder on the BayFest attendance figures, along with his suggestions for future performers until the ABC Newsbreak. Scott O'Brien steps in around the beginning of the second half-hour speaking on the shrimp festival and answers an answering machine message about a so-called inappropriate commercial. Sherri calls in complimenting the show, the Uncle's handling of the pranksters, and puts in her two cents on the pranksters. Her call made the Uncle bring up the ever so many answering machine calls from the same guy. It appears Scott has fans of his amusing laughter. The Uncle suggests funds to get Glen Campbell and the Osmonds for a future BayFest, as further reaction to an earlier call. Leeana and the Uncle will analysis those dating commercials that have been airing for some time tomorrow. Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle celebrating Mike Dow's birthday, which included audio of happy birthday being sung and Hawaiian type music. The Uncle encourages callers to wish him a happy one. His age is unknown to the Uncle. The audio archives are opened to pay tribute to Dow, including the Dow/Outlaw debate (Citizen Dow days) and the "new" Mike Dow with a changed opinion on the Convention Center. The Uncle suggests a statue and a street named "Mike Dow Parkway", replacing Dolphin Island Parkway. Suggestions from callers include a statue of Dow around the Wallace tunnel waving to those leaving Mobile, one used as a lightning rod, and something for pidgins to land on. "Bad Bill" calls in asking if the Uncle will attend Mardi Gras, which is next year and says that he looked up someone's dress last time. So, the Chameleon Ball this Thanksgiving is the beginning of Mardi Gras around here. The Uncle will be at the Greater Gulf State Fair again as the MC of the hog calling contest. Today's show gets a 5/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show without the opening theme, but the Uncle says all we need is the microphone and the tower broadcasting 710 AM. The Village 6 Theater and shopping center was torn down recently and according to the Mobile Register there will be a Toys 'R Us built there. The Uncle shares his memories of that theater, which included the playing of one of the Star Wars movies and some truly shocking one including Jackie Gleason and Burt Reynolds. In the middle of a call, Tommy began singing "Who Let The Dogs Out" and hangs up. The Uncle answers Leroy's question via answering machine by playing audio of Alabama's coach Mike Shula on their quarterback. Chris asks if this is a free country or not, which is of course true. Second answering machine message included the entering of Mike Dow in Colorado's "William Shatner Look-A-Like" contest. The Uncle guesses that this new Toys 'R Us will be something good for the economy. Today's show ends on another prank, which was out of place since Leeana's co-callscreener Jessica is not here today. Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle mentioning during his Hall's Meats promotion that he's way ahead of the Atkins' people. Yep, the Uncle kept his word of not attending this year's BayFest and instead watched the Crimson Tide game. Besides, the crowds were pretty thin anyway. Suggestions by the Uncle for improving BayFest include the Osmonds and Andy Williams. The club that was the location of the fall of former Alabama coach Mike Price is back in the news, which was one of the many clubs raided in the area. Charges include an expired dance license, rubbing a police officer's forehead, and even serving a drink to a customer. That's right, the Uncle thanked Auburn for beating Tennessee over the weekend. After two busy signals on the first two lines, we managed to get Mary on the show with her comments on the Limbaugh situation and of course, Rush. The Uncle suggests that the next time he's on vacation, Mary and "The Idea Man" should host the show on those days. "How'd 'bout them dogs", says some Georgia Bull Dogs fan, along with a busy signal. Nope, those pranks are not having any effect on the Uncle. So, the Uncle does enjoy those busy signals. Even though he's a Sooners fan, new Daphne, Alabama resident Mike is impressed with the Tide playing against that team. The Uncle asks Leeana what those sphagetti straps at BayFest really are? We'll probably never know! Today's show gets a 5/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle promoting tonight's Uncle Henry TV show, which includes an interview with NBC 15 News anchor Scott Walker and puts in his two cents on the news of the day. That's right, the Uncle listened to the last two hours of Limbaugh, checking for his reaction to the reports of drug allegations. The Uncle compares Prichard's mayor to Batman and Robin over citizens' arrest. "Mayor Man" as the Uncle called him. Best Mobile Register story in months, in the Uncle's opinion of the one with the turtle being fed breakfast such as grits and eggs. It turns out the Nation Inquire has kept the Rush drug allegations for about two years, which appears very suspicious to the Uncle. Ian calls back with some other false lawsuit, this time against the lady feeding those turtles grits and eggs, and some guy bringing up racist-related news not reported by most of the media like the Rush situation. 710 AM went off the air for a while and returned around 2:40 PM due to problems with the transmitter. The Uncle was still going on with everyone calling on hold still listening, even though everyone listening with a radio couldn't listen. Leeana finds out from 710 engineer Keith that a snake or opossum was responsible for knocking the Uncle off the air. "Bama first downs, Uncle Henry", for all those Georgia Bulldogs fans out there. Today's show gets a 4/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle agreeing with that "string of pearls" audio playing during the opening and shouting "I'm alive!" Phone system for the show is working again, but its not known if it's actually fixed. Top story for Eastern Shore residents such as the Uncle is the attack of the rabbit-bat. Would be a great replacement name for that "Spank the Monkey" band, as the Uncle suggested. First call of the day proved that the phone system is not completely fixed and the second one was a prankster. At last, real caller Bob calls in with very interesting news on the problems just waiting to happen in downtown Mobile. It's been discovered that there are problems with 2 of the 3 phone lines. The Uncle resorts to reading e-mail over the air, which he hasn't done in many moons. First e-mail sure brought up the Crimson Tide fan spirit in the Uncle, which included the words of a young fan, who shouted "Rock Tide!" while watching a Tide game. Chris manages to come through bringing up the situation with Rush Limbaugh resigning from ESPN over possible attack over his so-called "racist" comments on black quarterbacks. From a football standpoint, the Uncle says Rush's comments may have been true years ago, but not today. What's worst than more busy signals due to problems with the phone system? Another playing of the "Rocky Top" song! Ian presented a so-called lawsuit against the Uncle over his talk of the rabbit-bat. "Bad Bill" asks has the Uncle talked with "Steven Moron"(Nodine) recently and ends the call with an insult. Today's show gets a 3.5/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with the Uncle saying that this was one of the most beautiful weeks, weather wise in the Mobile region and comments on tonight's TV programs on the broadcast networks. The Uncle would rather watch something related to NBC's "Ed" at the bowling alley. A very objective non-college football fan will be on the Uncle's TV show on Comcast's Port City Six. Memories of getting pelted by ice at the last BayFest return to the Uncle as he promotes the sale of tickets. In other BayFest promotion, Leeana was called in to help the Uncle understand the names of the bands to perform at the event, such as "Aquanaun", "The Ugly Stick", "Liquid Styles", and "Spank the Monkey". A song in honor of Mobile was played after the first commercial break, which would be something the Uncle would rather hear at BayFest other than anything from "The Village People". Yet again, the first caller was a prankster. Another song honoring Mobile titled "Taking Pride in Mobile" was played around the half-hour. Nope, the Uncle won't be attending the Alabama-Georgia game this weekend. Not even Steve's mention of the country music singers performing at BayFest can get the Uncle to attend. We're just getting closer to a possible caller ID system for the show time these pranks get even more moronic. That last audio prank was recorded off the Paul Finebaum program, reported by Mike. Those Georgia Bull Dog fans antics just keep on coming in. "Bad Bill" calls in making sure if the Uncle received another one of his phone messages, which he didn't receive along with other messages due to the change in the phone system. Today's show gets a 4.5/5!
