Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "Hello there, Uncle Henry, what do you think about old Scott O'Brien?" one caller asked in a voice message. "Yes", said the Uncle in agreement with his pre-recorded introduction. "Thank you so much! Uncle Henry Show in progress on this beautiful Wednesday in the Mobile region, south Alabama", said the Uncle as he greets one and all. "I want to say a special hello to all the poor people listening and all these fat people listening", said the Uncle. He also said "hello" to folks considered to be "poor fat people" according to a new study. "Is there a study out there saying that we're stupid. I'm waiting for the trifecta", said the Uncle. "How could you think that we're stupid?" is the question our host imagines someone asking before mentioning the lunacy of the idea of an Interstate 10 bridge. "I haven't heard so much you-know-what", said the Uncle, who is very disappointed at the Mobile City Council. "Think about some things here", said the Uncle before reminding us about our reliance on the USA's interstate highway system and the elevated expressway considered by some to be "the Berlin Wall of Mobile". "They built a ground level connection there on Water Street, so people get off the interstate, and get on Water Street", said the Uncle. "Instead of building a bridge for interstate traffic, slightly south of downtown", said the Uncle, others want a bridge built north of downtown. "If people were going to take that, they would completely bypass downtown Mobile to begin with. People would make a giant bypass", said the Uncle. "Make up your minds, make up you minds, you're either going to force people down there, or not", said the Uncle. "Charlie Moss ("Mobile's only radio reporter") is downtown, letting people flap their gums about it under his microphone", said the Uncle. "Some of these high rise bridges around the world" are considered beautiful, said the Uncle in contrast to one person's objections at Government Plaza. "Believe it or not, there are cities with bridges that have maritime industries", said the Uncle to the objectors. "Your potential tourists are going to go through Prichard", said the Uncle if a northern bridge were to become a reality. Before the first commercial break, our host assumes there is some "big time pressure" building at the city council. After the commercial break, "Uncle Henry Show continues on this beautiful, beautiful Wednesday", said the Uncle before reminding listeners who want to join the show to dial (251) 479-2723. "Good morning, brother", said our first live caller Michael, who has been following the case involving Orange Beach, Alabama. "Half of the stuff I read in the paper is not true", said Michael, who was formerly involved in law enforcement. "If this is what's going on, then why is the news people printing this stuff in the paper", said Michael referring to the charges dropped. "If you're going to print something, print the facts", said Michael before giving caller Jim the Tax Man kudos for his information on Judge Herman Thomas. "War Eagle", said our next caller, which our host did not mind as an Alabama Crimson Tide fanatic. "I'd love to have that traffic coming into downtown Mobile", said our caller, who personally knows someone who works downtown. "I am not exactly against the idea of toll roads", said the Uncle. "I'm all for paying the taxes, but let's find a way to recruit that money", our caller suggested. "People in this area would be generally opposed to toll roads. That's just the way I would read it", said the Uncle, since many folks have driven most of their lives without paying a toll. "The same people who built the tunnel, it was obsolete then", said our next caller referring to the Wallace Tunnel, which he would put into the trifecta (including Government Plaza and the proposed bridge). "I think you remember when they had a tunnel coming through Bankhead Tunnel", said our caller. "Right now, it's, people rely on it (the Bankhead Tunnel), because the Wallace tunnels are so close to capacity, or at capacity", said the Uncle. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 5/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show without the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), but by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "This is T. C., Roll Tide to you", said T.C. via voice message after noticing "the disappointment" on everybody's faces at The Weather Channel forecasting a certain storm named "Ernesto". "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air", the voice of Dan Daniels from Mobile's radio past followed the voice message. Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). Our host said "yes" in agreement to the Daniels, Copeland, and "Idea" clips. "Hey Uncle Henry, studying my 'Katrina' notes, trying to tell if a hurricane is a racist hurricane or not", said our next caller in a voice message. "I'm not taking my chances, I'm getting the heck out of here", said this fellow at the end of his message. "Thank you so much! Thank you so much for listening, what a relief it is to be together again", said the Uncle. "Just last night I was thinking about you", said the Uncle, "I was eating dinner". "As the seconds tick by, my blood pressure's lowering", said the Uncle on what is so far a beautiful day. "It's like a Bush-bashing festival on the major media", said the Uncle in contrast to what is suppose to be a beautiful day. Our host summons call screener Leeanna by playing audio of caller Jan saying, "Leeann" and the weird caller "Evil Irrational Man" with, "Leeanna". Our host would eventually use of his own voice to get her attention before explaining her interview for a "Good Morning Scotland" radio program. "Oh, I believe you", said the Uncle after learning of an electronic e-mail from the British Broadcasting Corporation. "Did you talk out at 11:30, last night?" our host asked before learning that the interview lasted about 10 minutes. "Give us some of the questions that David, that Good Morning Scotland asked", said the Uncle. "So they asked if you were angry at Bush or other politicians", said the Uncle. "They called you, in Mobile, Alabama, to ask you about poverty in New Orleans?" our host asked. "Did they ask anything about Alabama?" our host asked only to find out that Leeanna was never asked such a question. "The reputation of the BBC has been ruined", said the Uncle before assuring Leeanna that it was not her fault. "If she's in there, call her", said the Uncle as he encouraged listeners to tell Leeanna that they are interested in hearing the "Good Morning Scotland" interview recorded in an MP3 file. After the first commercial break, "Hey Uncle Henry, you were talking about punishment? Um spanking?" said our caller via voice message. "If we apply these old methods again, we can straighten these young people up", said our caller who grew up in a time when boys such as himself were commonly beaten with the belt and girls were beaten by either the belt or the switch. "Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710 WPMI. (251) 479-2723 is the number", said the Uncle. "All right, have to wait a second, Scott O'Brien, Scott O'Brien just swirled in the room", said the Uncle. "Sometimes the cologne can be overbearing", said the Uncle. "People who don't live around don't know what it's like", said the Uncle. "We know what to expect before, during, and after", said the Uncle referring to hurricanes in contrast to national news reporter saying, "the progress is too slow", as our host put it. "There are people still dealing with problems from 'Ivan' two years later", said the Uncle. "You don't have instant recovery", said the Uncle. "Get your head out [of], well, I better not say that", said the Uncle, "please learn more about what you're talking about". "You can't wave a magic wand, that's the story now, is that now, America didn't care, America didn't care about the poor people", said the Uncle. "The truth is you can't do it overnight, you can't do it in a year", said the Uncle, or in the case of Pensacola, Florida residents, "two years". "Let's talk to Norman, hello Norman", said the Uncle. "I've been watching all this garbage", said Norman after viewing the hurricane-related TV programming. Steve joins us in response to our host commenting on the rich/poor. "After the news, more of you, also we'll talk with 'Brownie' " in the next hour", said the Uncle before the break for news and commercials. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.5/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show seconds after a clip of regular caller Tim saying "dab gum" (or "dad gum") played during the commercial break with the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). Tim in a new voice message was just thinking about the wolves in Fairhope, Alabama. "Maybe we can build them a movie, and we can get Nodine (Mobile County Commissioner) play Kevin Costner", said Tim suggesting a "Dancing with Wolves II" motion picture. "We can have Uncle Henry 24 hours a day, too", said Tim at the end of his voice message. "Thank you so much! Thank you so much, I've been waiting for you, thinking about you. That's right, I'm one of the people that thinks of you", said the Uncle greeting one & all. "Look, let's not get into", the Uncle added before proceeding with today's first topic of discussion. "Let me say this, I don't, I think the National Hurricane Center should be ashamed of themselves for the names they pick for these storms", said the Uncle. "They need to give these storms names that people will pay attention to, names that will carry some meaning", said the Uncle. "Katrina was a good name for a storm, because it was a mean woman's name", said the Uncle before assuring all the Katrinas listening that he means "no offense". "I'm glad that this Ernesto is weakening", said the Uncle, who cannot imagine a powerful Ernesto. "If you're going to come up with an Ernesto, you might as well number them", said the Uncle. "I have become a big fan of Mobile County School Board member Fleet Bell", said the Uncle after learning about the school board member's call for the removal of a book from the school system due to its "pornographic" nature. "Hats off to Fleet Bell for doing the right thing on the Mobile County School Board", said the Uncle. "It's been a long time since I've had a book burning", said the Uncle, who knows of other publications that he believes ought to be burned. "Somebody goes into a barn, from what I understand", said the Uncle referring to the book called for banishment, "yes, they go into a barn and do things". "Don't bring the smut to the children and say, 'oh, this is literature' ", said the Uncle as he mocked the defenders of the book. "We need Fleet Bell to run through the public library", said the Uncle before speaking to our first live caller Chuck. According to our caller Chuck, one book is already banned in the school system due to censorship, the Bible. "Are you calling this equivalent to the Bible?" our host asked. "All right, thank you for your call, Chuck", said the Uncle in a tone indicating that he is not in the mood of bringing the Bible "into this smuttery", as he put it. "It's time for good citizens to come out of the woodworks", said our next caller following Chuck. "Why are you in there? Did somebody put you in the woodwork, good citizenry?" our host asked the "good citizenry" in his audience. "Get out of the woodwork", said the Uncle. "The Uncle Henry Show proceeding on this beautiful Monday", said the Uncle before the first commercial break. After the commercial break, "Hey Uncle Henry, I'm just going to let you that I've finished exercising", said "The Idea Guy" before suggesting the idea that "you can't take anything but you" on an airplane after watching the FOX News Channel last Friday. "Just a suggestion", said "Idea" before mentioning the coyote's love for watermelons. "No new word on the coyote problem, I don't know if they're still living in Rock Creek or not", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Mr. Leon, who gave our host reason to shout "Roll Tide Roll!" Mr. Leon asked for another "viewpoint on people jogging and riding bicycles on Old Shell Road" before leaving us to hear our host speak without interruption. "If there's a road that doesn't have a sidewalk, then they need to pick a different road", said the Uncle. "I hate to be that way, but the road is for the vehicles", said the Uncle before speaking to Steve. "You were talking a minute ago about the book", said Steve. "Did you, were you mandated to read books through the summer?" Steve asked our host, since he turned out just fine since the last time he attended school. Like our caller, the Uncle was never instructed to read books during the summer. "I actually went and picked my own books out of the library", said the Uncle, possibly shocking some listeners. "Let's be honest about it, summer is vacation time", said Steve. "Even the best of comprehensive minds are going to struggle", said Steve if the students were to take a test on a book read at some point of the summer. "One more thing", said Steve switching to the topic of the anniversary of a certain hurricane that was closing in on our part of the world a year ago. "It's all about New Orleans", according to Steve, as Mississippi took the "direct hit" of the storm. "Everything is marked success of rebuilding the area", said Steve, who believes "there is more going on over there" otheran than the casino re-openings on the Mississippi coast. "Mississippi just doesn't seem to get the attention", said the Uncle. After the newsbreak and commercials following this segment, "more interaction with you on a variety of topics", said the Uncle. Listeners were reminded of the show's online "podcast" for those who want to hear today's show again or listeners who cannot hear the 10 o'clock of the show for one reason or another ("The Price is Right" is one reason). Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 5/5!

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "Thank you so much! Thank you listener", said the Uncle greeting one & all. "Numerous topics to discuss on today's show, including the coyote crisis which has gripped the City of Fairhope in panic", said the Uncle before introducing program director Scott O'Brien, who had a shout of "Roll Tide" for our host before learning why he's part of today's show. The news brought to Scott's was our call screener's recent remote broadcast for WRKH 96.1 "The Rocket" FM from a strip club. "There was a, a lot of talk from Leeanna and others how she wasn't actually in the strip club", said the Uncle. "My eyes aren't good as they used to be", said Scott as he gets a better look at the photograph of the inside of this strip club. "When I said Leeanna was working at a strip club, is that not accurate?" our host asked shortly after Leeanna entered the room. "It is shocking", said Scott before wishing our host a great weekend as the sounds of "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees play in the background. "For those doubters, those that doubt me, NewsRadio710.com, the Uncle Henry Show page", said the Uncle directing doubters of his accuracy to the online location of the photograph. As the Uncle delves into the coyote story, it turns out that the construction of a new Wal-Mart Super Center in Fairhope, Alabama "is forcing the coyote out of their habitat" and into the streets. "Plane could run over ten or twenty coyotes and suddenly go out of control in some mishap", said the Uncle. "When you read these stories, why doesn't it say anyone's going to get a gun?" our host asked before asking listeners if they remember the story of a "Raccoon Watch" in the state of Washington mentioned this week. "Why aren't people willing to do this?" our host wonders. "These are not just regular coyotes, these are described in the Press-Register as vicious", said the Uncle, who never had a coyote experience growing up in Mobile. "I always have an image of the cartoon coyote (Wild E. Coyote), who was incompetent", said the Uncle. "If you're dealing with a vicious, vicious coyote, you just need to be careful", said the Uncle before the first commercial break. After the first commercial break, a different version of the "Bonanza" theme plays in the background as a voice message plays. "As far as I'm concerned, I say kill all the cats", said this fellow in the voice message, who has problems with cats in his backyard. "If they're using your backyard as their own cat toilet", said the Uncle as he suggested making sure the backyard is not too sandy like that of cat litter. Our next caller Sanford brought to our attention the idea of a coyote trap involving an audio recording of a rabbit. "People can play that and draw any coyote in the area", said Sanford. "I didn't know the coyote (problem) was much more widespread that Fairhope, Rock Creek, and the Fairhope Airport", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller. "I have two different cousins, they track coyotes all year round", said our caller Daniel in contrast to Alabama's first alligator season that resulted in the capture of 40 alligators or more, a number unmentioned on the show. "Well Daniel, I agree with what you said about the gators", said the Uncle. "Is this Gun? Hello Gun", said the Uncle to our next caller. "You know, the animal rights' people believe that animals have more rights than people", said Gun, who has hunted all his life. "Let's talk to Tracy, hello Tracy", said the Uncle before our caller gave us his "two cents" on the coyote. "The coyote is very, very smart. You have to use rubber clubs, [you] can't have no human scent", said Tracy before giving listeners the idea of using a steel trap and rotten meat. "They sound like they're tough to get rid of", said the Uncle after listening to Tracy. "What about an anvil, does anybody use an anvil?" our host suggested. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.0/5!


"Active Tropics" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "Thank you so much! Thank you listener, it's a pleasure to be with you", said the Uncle greeting one & all in the region known as "Lower Alabama". "It's just great to be with you on this beautiful morning, this Thursday morning", said the Uncle, who hopes his "vision holds out" during his retirement when his grandchild could give him a tour of the Alabama scenery. "Let's start with this", said the Uncle, "how do you feel about felons voting? This issue, popping up, a Jefferson County judge rules that all felons in the state of Alabama" should be allowed to register and vote. "This could lead to putting polling places in prisons", said the Uncle quoting Alabama's secretary of state Nancy Warily. "Every time I go to a polling place, it's being run by little old ladies", said the Uncle, who said "God bless them" for the sake of this republic. "This has come up because of a lawsuit", said the Uncle, "the lawsuit was about how someone saying that Nancy Warily is violating Alabama's Constitution". "That's just an odd thought, voting booths in prison", said the Uncle. "If you can vote in prison, why can't you run for office in prison?" our host asked. "There are so many things to talk about today, it's a bumper crop of topics", said the Uncle before speaking to our first live caller Michael, whom our host identified after hearing his voice. "They want to make sure they get their right to vote, but I don't want a bunch of stoned people voting", said the Uncle after Michael's call. "If you set up a voting booth in a prison, you will have people voting in prison on judges", said the Uncle. "Just some food for thought, if we're going to have voting in prison", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller, who has a "consumer alert" on the "downtown parking diplomats" now issuing tickets in midtown Mobile. "I just want the consumers to know that you can't park in front of your house anymore", said our unnamed midtown Mobile resident. "I'm just west of the school of math and science", said our caller before leaving us. Our host's request for the station's news department is to follow this story. "The Uncle Henry Show's just started", said the Uncle before the first commercial break. After the first commercial break, "Uncle Henry Show continues on this very beautiful day. Already the program very high quality", said the Uncle before speaking to Chris. "Leeanna not sounding too well", said Chris after learning that our call screener is suffering from bronchitis. Probably from eating ketchup, according to our host, which caused Chris to laugh. "I thought you were convicted of a felony, you don't get to vote period", said Chris. "You can go to prisons and hand out cigarettes and get lots of votes", the Uncle suggested. Our next caller was an imitation of commentator Al who regularly calls via voice message. "Is this the real William Carroll?" our host asked the Mobile City Council member who just learned of our midtown caller's problem. "I'm going to give Leeanna a number off air", said William referring to a telephonic way of contacting him. "How are things going in your district?" our host asked, with Carroll responding that things are "going great", including some resurfacing projects. "If you call me, I'll come", said William, repeating his campaign promise. "So, couldn't find out on what the mystery facility is", said the Uncle after asking Carroll about Gov. Riley's "mystery facility". "We have the news and then more of your phone calls here on NewsRadio 710 WPMI", said the Uncle seconds before the commercial break, but first a little more in relation to the "mystery facility" story. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.8/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air" (this is the second day "CBS Special Presentation 1973" has been left out of the opening). Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "Yes", said the Uncle during the pre-recorded introduction before shouting, "Thank you so much!" "Isn't it a relief to get this show underway? I've been wondering about you for hours today", said the Uncle. "Before we get the discussion underway, I'm going to talk briefly with Dr. Fontenot", said the Uncle before speaking to this representative of the "not for profit" organization Community Services for Vision Rehabilitation. "This involves people with vision problems", said the Uncle. "What we do is work with people have vision lost", said the doctor, specifically those that obtain vision lost through macular degeneration. "This came about, how?" our host asked. "I'm a physician, a cardiologist, I acquired a certain vision lost", said the doctor. "If there's a listener that has a vision problem and they think your organization [can help]", said our host asking for information that certain listeners can use. "(251) 476-4744 or (251) 928-2888" said the doctor before thanking our host for calling him. Before the commercial break, our host previews our dive into today's numerous topics, "including a very surprising bit of national publicity", according to our host. After the first commercial break, "Why don't we take a million of that (City of Mobile budget) and repair this building (Government Plaza) that's leaking", said Kermit a voice message nearly drowned out by bumper music. "If you get a ringing sound, Leeanna is back", said the Uncle. Our host brings to our attention the Mobile County Public School System getting national attention in "Parade" magazine. "I think it's five communities that turned their school systems around", said the Uncle. "The Mobile schools have been saved. Do you think there's any footnote in the article that, by the way, strangely, that the school system doesn't like the superintendent that started all of this?" said the Uncle. "We never knew, I didn't know they were saved", said the Uncle. "All the while, when the paddy wagons were going and picking up the children, the schools were being saved", said the Uncle while playing audio of a past caller calling members of the school board "a bunch of idiots". After reading the Press-Register's coverage of the "Parade" article, "So it will be a praising of a tax increase. So for, for, I've been under a misconception", said the Uncle. "You need to be walking around happy and let's not have any more of", said the Uncle before playing the "bunch of idiots" clip again. "Just a dab gun stuff, hello Uncle Henry", said Tim, who actually knows Dr. Fontenot. "Now that you've endorsed him, I like him a lot more", said the Uncle. "He's really have the grassroots operation there", said Tim. "He's started off real small, but he's got the momentum there", said Tim. "We don't need a board", said Tim, who believes that all we need are the teachers and Harold Dodge. "Let me go, I've got these problems, these people", said Tim before leaving us. Rick joins us with a "Roll Tide" shout before mentioning his thoughts about the school board, including a question on a connection to Auburn University. "It is hard to fool Parade magazine", said the Uncle after mentioning the "genius woman" who has a column in the magazine. "Let's talk to Glenn, hello Glenn", said the Uncle before Glenn acknowledged the corruption in school systems across the country. "Their (Barton Academy, main office) public portrayal of themselves has been [so] negative", said Glenn. "You may cram and cram and do well on tests, but do you really learn anything?" Glenn asked. Wade Perry joins us looking forward to this week's "Parade" magazine, but he has to be asked for comments by the magazine. "She's the one still stirring the pot that Dr. Dodge needs to go", said Wade regarding school board member Hazel Fournier. "Let's try to touch base and have another phone call", said the Uncle to Wade seconds before the break for news and commercials. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 5/5!


"What and Where" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by this audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "I'm concerned about an article that was in last Thursday's paper regarding the beach mouse", said one fellow in a voice message that was nearly drowned out by the theme music. "I guess watching for beach mice is hard work", according to our caller after a beach visit. "Yes", the Uncle said three times in agreement with his pre-recorded introduction before shouting, "Thank you so much!" "It is a pleasure to be with you, are you relieved that this finally started?" our host asked. "Today the calls with be screened, not by Leeanna, but Chris Desalvo", said the Uncle. "She may have run off with the Marshall Tucker band", our host assumes. "Numerous topics to discuss on this day. Numerous, numerous topics", said the Uncle before bringing to our attention "yet another Birmingham News story on Bishop State". "Listen to this", said the Uncle before giving credit to the Birmingham News writers of the story. "The documents have allegations that a 67-year-old disabled grandmother played" physical activities (varsity baseball, football, and softball) for Bishop State Community College three months before her death, but was never a student. "These are just the tip of the ice berg here. Now more on the grandmother, because that's what the news department is fascinated by", said the Uncle, along with a "52-year-old mama". "The 52-year-old woman got a $1,080 softball scholarship", said the Uncle. "Not only is it awful that tax payer money is getting thrown away like this", said the Uncle, who also sees this as the sort of fraud just asking for an investigation. "By the way, all of this has not escaped the notice of Al", said the Uncle before playing Al's latest voice message, which begins with this well-known greeting: "Hey Uncle Henry, this is Al". "I see Alabama must have a bounty on black leaders", said Al, who only calls via voice message. "Let them do what they do all they want, she (Yvonne Kennedy, President of Bishop State) ain't going now where, and we ain't going to let her go", said Al. "So leave her alone, Henry, don't let me go on the warpath", said Al. If our host were a "wagering man", he would bet there were no disabled grandmas on the varsity basketball team. "If anything, people have tried to nurture Bishop State", said the Uncle, especially those in the business community. "Let's hope there is a complete investigation of this", said the Uncle for the sake of the college "turning out good workers". After the first commercial break, "This is Franklin again", said our caller via voice message before encouraging conservatives to boycott the next news anchor of "Channel 5's national news" (that would be the CBS Evening News on WKRG-TV5) because the only ones who'll be watching are those of an opposite viewpoint. "I want to ask you about this Judge Thomas thing", said Michael before asking who is investigating the Mobile County Circuit judge by his request. "Getting back to the Couric thing", said Michael before mentioning what he received from News Max.com about her questions for a serviceman in West Asia. "I listen to you and that's about it", said Michael explaining why he never saw Couric on "Today". "Let me shed some life on conning or gaining the system", said our next caller in response to the Birmingham News story. "Let's talk to, well, that listener vanished. Like Leeanna, no word on what has happened to her", said the Uncle before summoning Chris Desalvo. "She is missing in action", said our substitute call screener before explaining the story of the Marshall Tucker band, which was named after a storage unit, and Leeanna's involvement. "So there is nobody named Marshall Tucker in the Marshall Tucker band?" our host asked before Chris confirmed it for him. "She's danced with them?" our host asked before learning that she did dance with a band member. This comes after our host found out that she was "taking some shots (drinks)" over the weekend. "What's happening with her? She's going down hill", said Chris. "What should your theme song be?" our host asked. "I don't know", Chris responded before returning to the sounds of the Uncle's music selection. The rest of today's show and "The Price is Right" are the options for home listeners at this point. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.7/5!


"Far, Far Away" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip not immediately, but a few seconds later: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "I have lived north, south, east, west, and I have never in my life seen such uninformed citizens in the City of Mobile", said one Baldwin County resident in a classic audio clip. "Thank you so much!" Uncle Henry Show in progress for a beautiful Monday in south Alabama", said the Uncle greeting one and all. "I've missed you, yes, I did", said the Uncle, who even wanted to speak to us yesterday. "I've got very angry yesterday", said the Uncle after finding in the Sunday Press-Register newspaper that "these 50 hunters are only allowed to get one gator each and that's it". "Why don't they let these people get out every night of the hunt", our host wonders. "Here's another thing, I don't want to offend you women listening to this program", said the Uncle before mentioning the two or three allowed to shoot along with everyone. "There could be some orphans out there because their momma got ate by a gator", said the Uncle. "The gator would not be limited to one senior citizen", said the Uncle using a hypothetical situation involving one alligator and a bus full of senior citizens for example. "They ought to give a medal to the person who gets the most gators", our host suggested. "Some of these gators have bit through people's boats", said the Uncle in contrast to what others think by the alligators. "Let me tell you this, Leeanna's adventure this weekend is for the all-time list", said the Uncle, but first he must speak to our first live caller Harry. "What is the deal with one alligator per person if you have 50 people", said our caller, who compares this to "spitting in the wind". "Why not kill everyone you can?" said Harry, considering that there are thousands of alligators can grow to a length of 12 feet long. "One night, we were in the Mobile River and Tensaw River, you know, cat fishing at night, and in a one night stretch, no, make that two nights", Harry and others counted hundreds of alligators. "I don't care how you kill it", said Harry. "I'm with you completely, I'm so glad you called, because I'm tired of people sticking up for the alligator ", said the Uncle after Harry left us. "The alligators would go after your precious pit bull", said the Uncle to the folks who were "moaning" and "crying" about Spencer the Pit Bull, who was later sent to a sanctuary. John joins us speaking as a Michael "Savage" Wiener fanatic and in agreement with the Uncle's alligator position. In spite of program director Scott O'Brien, our caller recommended listening to "The Savage Nation" on New Orleans, Louisiana-based station WIST 690 AM, which requires a special type of radio. "The way he talks, it's inexplicable", said the Uncle after listening to Savage. During the commercial break, "All right, Leeanna's about to talk about her teeth", said the Uncle, who also discussed our call screener's weekend in Orange Beach, Alabama. "Apparently, Leeanna's smile is so good, that she charms members of the Marshall Tucker band", said the Uncle. After the first commercial break and a voice message, "All right, Uncle Henry Show continues, let's talk to Joe", said the Uncle before Joe could say, "Go Gators!" before speaking as a Gators fan listening to the show outside Pensacola, Florida. "I cannot believe you can only take one gator", said Joe. "I don't know what it (the hunting license) costs, but it's certainly not worth the effort", said the Uncle. "I don't know what the deal is, [but] everyone wants to kill something nowadays", said our last caller, who sees this gator hunting as a "lust to kill". Our caller also considers our host's previous campaign for mayor of Mobile a lie. "I was not lying, I was running, and could have won", said the Uncle, but then came a "lucrative contract" to continue hosting the show. "It is not a lust for anything but self defense!" said the Uncle before previewing the 10'clock hour of the show, including a discussion of Government Plaza's leaky roof with Mobile County Commissioner Steve Nodine. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.6/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio: "Listen, people out here are not dumb", said the late community activist Lillian Jackson to our host. "You haven't been around the whole community, have you?" the Uncle asked. "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air", our regularly played clip from Mobile's radio past followed. Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). In another audio clip, a past caller says, "I've just about forgot" why he joined the show. "Thank you so much! Thank you! All right, Uncle Henry Show underway, already in progress, this program actually started several minutes ago", said the Uncle. It turns out the show begins during the last previous commercial break, which explains the playing of Tim's "dad gum" or "dab gum" clips. "Numerous topics to discuss on today's program", said the Uncle, including topics that may not make into the show due to the "teeny tiny timeframe" set by program director Scott O'Brien, who is on vacation this week. "A lot of it is an animosity toward the liberal", said the Uncle on the decisions made at 710 AM. Decisions such as airing "The Savage Nation" (a three-hour show) from 10:05 PM to 12:00 AM. "Why does the state of Alabama get insulted all the time?" our host asked before getting to the story of former Alabama resident and suspected killer John Karr in today's Press-Register newspaper. "It's an Associated Press story that's being sent all around the world", said the Uncle. "He stood out for his intelligence", said the Uncle reading the article. "I'm insulted by this, 'he stood out for his intelligence', that [just] implies that everyone in his town is a bunch of idiots", said the Uncle. "Very irritated by that, it's just wrong by the press", said the Uncle before speaking to our first live caller Rena. "Good morning, Uncle Henry", said Rena, who had the will to say, "War Eagle" before speaking about a news story she heard before the show. "What don't they do, they don't want Jesus or anything, nothing", said Rena in response to a stolen painting of Jesus that hung in a school. "They were going to take it down anyway, so they went ahead and stole it", said Rena. "I just wanted to say my piece and it was wonderful speaking to you", said Rena. "That was a wonderful call to start the program", said the Uncle. "You have to wonder about the consequences", said the Uncle, but only the thief of that painting will know the consequences in the afterlife. "Hey Uncle Henry, Roll Tide", said Billy, "What was the name of the bumper music you played yesterday?" "I only play each piece of music once in that day", said the Uncle before Billy could say that the music played in "the early part" of yesterday's show. "Next time I'll pay more attention to it", said Billy before Richard joined us with a "Roll Tide" shout. As a Birmingham resident, Richard listens to the show via 'podcast', but recently he noticed that the recording is not this show, but the Rush program. "Last Wednesday, there was a major thunderstorm that rolled through Mobile", the Uncle explains. "The machinery that records the podcast got struck by lightning", said the Uncle, along with other equipment for the radio stations housed at the WKRG building. "It's being worked on right now", said the Uncle before Richard admitted that he was preparing himself to blame our call screener Leeanna. "Your show just needs to be longer, that's all", said Richard before leaving us. "When lightning strikes, there's just something so unpredictable", said the Uncle. "It took days to get 'KSJ (FM) fixed", said the Uncle. After the commercial break and a voice message from Tim without bumper music, "When I turn on the Internet, I can get information", said Mobile City Council member Fredrick Richardson in an audio clip, followed by "The Superfriends" theme. "This is a marching band performing the beloved theme of the TV show 'Superfriends', that featured Superman and Batman, Marvin, Wendy, and the Wonder Dog", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller. "You are a great American", said our caller Larry, in spite of the current time allotted for our host to speak. "We used to have this deck of cards with all these evil faces", said Larry, along with the parade of news coverage over the capture of major criminals. "If you missed his (Rush's) 12 o'clock hour yesterday, shame on you", said the Uncle to his audience after listening to an explosion of emotion during that program. "In Mobile County, you can't take a cell phone to school and that's very good", said the Uncle after bringing to our attention a ban on cellular phones in Baldwin County public schools. "I never thought of doing some of the things these kids are doing", said the Uncle, such as using the camera function on certain cellular phones. "Why have we yet [to] find a way to do this teenage mental problem?" our host asked, along with, "Why can't we channel this?" "I would have never thought, you would want to type with your thumbs, either", said the Uncle. "Before we get to the newsbreak here, I want to express condolences to the family of Bill Yeager", said the Uncle, and to Yeager's fellow employees. "He didn't act like he was better than anybody else", said the Uncle on the now deceased advertising executive, whom he considered to be "a great guy" in life. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 5/5!

"More Sun" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" (with all-time caller Leroy's "Roll Tide Roll" interrupting the song), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "This is a message for the parents, let's not forget the bald eagle who carries a wreath in one hand", said one caller via voice message, who also recited the entire Pledge of Allegiance in his message. "Yes", the Uncle said twice in agreement with the pre-recorded introduction before shouting, "Thank you so much!" "Thank you for listening, let the phone ring", said the Uncle, as our call screener Leeanna is "nowhere to be found, as to do her job". "Since I'm having such a problem with her, she's used her position here at Clear Channel Radio improperly", said the Uncle. "I feel so, so bad to see these phones just ring and ring", said the Uncle before promptly answering the first call from Brent, followed by Otis. "I apologize for starting off the show this way", said the Uncle after screening the callers himself. "Let's talk to the first caller who was Brent", said the Uncle before our caller identified himself to be the cartoonist of the pictures featured on the Uncle's website ("Uncle Henry Wants You to Not Be Stupid"). Brent shared the story of his stepson, who was the victim in a recent automobile collision with someone who could two different languages, including English when using profanity. "Sober step son driving", said the Uncle before Brent shared much of the story that occurred on July 15th of this year. "We (Brent and his wife) were at the scene when all this happened", said Brent, who received the case number. "No ID, no documentation", said Brent on this other driver, who had proof of being from Guatemala. "My son had to pay $5 to get a police report", said Brent. "Do you get to press charges of some sort?" our host asked. "Let's get to it", Brent responded. "Let's review this, we have an undocumented immigrant, clearly intoxicated", said Brent. "He identified his cell phone in the wrecked car", said the Uncle on the other driver. "What does it take for the police to do their job?" Brent wonders. "I don't have an answer for that, he could have killed your son", said the Uncle. Brent wishes that any City of Mobile or police official would call the show in response to his story. "Is it against the law to run away from a wreck?" our host asked. "I wish [somebody] listening to the show were to call in and explain this to me and the listener", said Brent before leaving us. "Let's talk to Otis, thank you for holding on the story, Otis", said the Uncle before Otis asked why some folks he saw on the news refer to themselves as "Lebanese-Americans" rather than just Americans. Otis also asked the Uncle for an answer to attacks on young children by adult females. "Why don't you tell me?" our host asked before playing the role of a caller on "The Otis Show". "Let's go to the other caller", said the Uncle before apologizing to the other caller he screened before Brent's story. Unfortunately that caller is either asleep or he simply lost his patience. "We are going to have a personnel meeting after the show", said the Uncle before the first commercial break. "Hey Uncle Henry, one more thing before I go to bed, yep, call me dumb", said Tim via voice message wondering what weather presenters should be doing, even in "this day and age". "The dad gum screen had the weather and the calculations and the illustrations on the screen all night long", said Tim. "This modern technology can be very confusing", said the Uncle in response to Tim's voice message. "Did you see the front page of the newspaper this morning?" our next caller asked in reference to the article on a judge's ruling on storm insurance. "If a tree falls, if a tree falls on your house, is that covered?" our host asked. "All of this ruling has to be splitting hairs on the wording in the contract", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Jim, hello Jim", said the Uncle before Jim shared his own "hit and run" situation after listening to the story of Brent's stepson. "He (the police chief in Pensacola, Florida) said, 'we're investigating murders, we're very busy people' ", said Jim, who was out of work as a registered nurse for a week after the accident. "This guy needs to hire a lawyer, period", Jim highly recommended for Brent and his stepson. "That's not the way things should be handled", said the Uncle regarding the case of Jim's accident before taking a break for commercials and news. At this point, the home listeners' options are listening to the rest of today's show or watching today's airing of "The Price is Right". Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.5/5!


"PM T'storms" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show after audio of caller Tim's "dad gum" played between the Michael P. Sloan newsbreak and the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" (with all-time caller Leroy's "Roll Tide Roll" in the background, though it was nearly drowned out), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following voice message: "Hey Uncle Henry, this is Bud and I've got a suggestion", said our first caller via voice message, who suggested that our host and call screener Leeanna appear during one of WPMI-TV's Friday morning block parties, along with some Hall's Meats. "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air", our regularly played clip from Mobile's radio past played. Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "I didn't even want to call you, but I'm out here on Cottage Hill Road and a dad gum truck is crushing a car", said another caller via voice message. "Thank you so much! Uncle Henry Show underway on this beautiful, beautiful Tuesday", said the Uncle greeting one & all before reminding us yet again that he is usually curious about his listeners. "I've been thinking about you more than normal", said the Uncle after learning that Government Plaza has "never been appropriate for that area (downtown Mobile)", as it now poses danger. "The building is in such horrible shape that they've got it blocked off" to avoid any deaths resulting from falling glass. "Cannot handle it on our own, need help, so, I don't know, maybe if you've got connections", said the Uncle. "There is a quote about how we can't do it ourselves", said the Uncle before quoting Mobile County Commissioner Steve Nodine. "I don't think a study by this commission would pass the mustard of the citizen", said the Uncle quoting Nodine requesting independent help for Government Plaza. Our host may know out of town radio personalities, but "all they could do is tell jokes about it". Our first live caller "The Idea Guy" suggested actor Don Johnson for outside help. "I want to get some of the CSI, crime scene guys", "Idea" also suggested. "Get that artist Nall", Norman suggested, along with another artist named Crystal, and get them to cover Government Plaza in plastic. "Enclose those floors and cover that area up", Norman also suggested for the building. "Do you have any out of town family?" the Uncle asked Norman, who has many out of town family that can get some help. "Get him, Whetstone, oh my goodness", said the Uncle. "And get Jeff Sessions, well, I don't want to bother Jeff Sessions, he's fighting terrorism", said the Uncle. "We're almost like a city held hostage by this thing", said the Uncle on the now potentially murderous Government Plaza building. "Uncle Henry, what's up with the podcast?" said caller Dan via voice message after the first commercial break. "Fix it, fix it, fix it", said Dan. "We have the facilities and the people, we can handle it in house", said the Uncle in contrast to the Government Plaza situation. "I felt compelled to call your show today and sadly we have lost one of the finest judges for the people, by the people", said George bringing to our attention the upcoming departure of Judge Lackey. "He would expunge misdemeanor cases", said George, rather than cases of murder and rape. "Hello Ron Reams", said the Uncle before asking the WPMI-TV webmaster if he can find outside help for Government Plaza. "It shows you once again when you give the bid to the lowest bidder", said Ron on the construction of the building. Since George mentioned Judge Lackey, "The thing that got Mr. Lackey in trouble", said Ron, was the expunging of former Mobile County Public School System member David Thomas' court case. Our host acknowledged our caller as "Ron Reams of WPMI.com" before the break for news and commercials. Home listeners have a couple of options now, the rest of today's show or "The Price is Right". Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 5/5!

"Still Summer" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" (with all-time caller Leroy's "Roll Tide Roll" in the background), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "I found eighteen Miller beers with the old pull top on the can", said our first caller via voice message, who also noticed a tax stamp on each can. "Do you think they're drinkable? Second question, would they hold any value?" our caller asked before ending his message. "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air", a clip from Mobile's radio past followed the voice message. Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "I'm reading about the Government Plaza, I haven't even finished the first page yet and I already have a solution", said "The Idea Guy" after reading Saturday's Press-Register. "I think each one of the commissioners should have his own portable", said "Idea. "I say tear the whole damn thing down and start all over again", said "Idea" at the end of his message. "Thank you so much! Uncle Henry Show underway, aren't you relieved?" said the Uncle greeting one & all. "Got much I want to talk to you", said the Uncle before thanking listeners yet again for the success of the show. "Local stuff is what really got me steamed up, this situation with Government Plaza, and this situation with Judge Thomas", said the Uncle. "We have a cynical view of politicians, judges", said the Uncle, something that he hated to say. As for Government Plaza, "Mobile expressed a dislikeness for that ugly building", our host reminded listeners in contrast to the building's list of awards since it opened in 1995. "A man I worked for, he loved it", said the Uncle on the broadcast executive who actually liked Government Plaza, unlike everyone else our host knew. Either Bernie Dittman, owner of WABB AM & FM, or D. H. "Buck" Long, the late former general manager of WKRG could be the fellow our host was referring to. "Now we get to the year 2006 and now we find out that this thing is a debacle", said the Uncle. "This ought to be a criminal case", said the Uncle on the original construction of Government Plaza. "Press-Register did a story on this in Saturday's paper", said the Uncle, including the installation of glass windows the wrong way. "Sponges and rags were used to seal the area between panes", said the Uncle, who may know as a non-window expert that "it doesn't sound right". "Doubled sided tape, is that used, somebody in the construction business tell if this is something done regularly", said the Uncle. "Dadgum it, you can't even go up there", said our host in anger. "There has got to be something done about this, there has got to be something done legally", said the Uncle before speaking to our first live caller. "They won't spend the money right down there", said our caller before fulfilling the promise made to his wife of bringing to our host's attention their nickname for the two towers of Government Plaza inspired by the robot maid character "Roda" (it's Rosie) from "The Jetsons" animated cartoon series. "Why don't we get FEMA to put a blue roof on top of those things?" our next caller suggested for Government Plaza. "Maybe there is a way, for it to be cheaper to build a building around the atrium", said the Uncle shortly before the first commercial break. Leroy's "Roll Tide Roll" played during a station promotion for concert tickets, followed by another voice message from "The Idea Guy". "Uncle Henry Show continues, (251) 479-2723 is the number", said the Uncle before speaking to Bill, who is so infuriated that he suggests the handcuffing of former mayor Mike Dow, Judge Thomas, and possibly many others. "Maybe we should put bars on Government Plaza", said the Uncle. "You know when I got home yesterday, I was thinking about Government Plaza", said "The Idea Guy", which reminded him of the movie "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House". "All the stuff that's been built around here over the last 15 years has been over budget", said "Idea". "Maybe we can tear down the atrium", said the Uncle after "Idea" suggested the idea of swapping buildings. "I'm a big fan of the classic, older films. I've watched that movie on more than one occasion", said the Uncle on what he calls "a good after church movie". "Do you think they are doing it to get the job?" our next caller Ray wondered about contractors. "Hey, this is Jerry that lives on Airport Boulevard parking lot", said Jerry before suggesting that if Government Plaza gets torn down, a Greyhound bus station should return downtown in its spot. "Hey, they had a movie theater down there", said the Uncle before Jerry left us. "All right Uncle Henry Show continues after this break and the news", said the Uncle, followed by the opening of more "cans of worms". "Podcast not fixed yet", said the Uncle due to a lightning strike. Home listeners have the option of listening to the rest of today's show or viewing "The Price is Right" at this point. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.8/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town), followed by (seconds later, not immediately) those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "Hey Uncle Henry, this is Al, I'm looking at this morning's paper", said Al via voice message before giving thanks to Mobile County Commissioner Juan Chastang and expressing dislike for commissioners Mike Dean and Steve Nodine. "It looks like he (Nodine) doesn't want to help anyone but the rich", said Al, who believes in Nodine's incident at a local Waffle House restaurant during a previous campaign. "Thank you so much, oh my goodness gracious, what a relief", said the Uncle greeting one & all. "We have numerous things to talk about", said the Uncle, including the "ridiculous call" made by Al. "This is the case that I agree with county commissioners Dean and Nodine, disagree with Chastang", said the Uncle on bus funding. "All they got to do is give me a free ride on the bus for a period of a year, I'll be glad to consult", said the Uncle before explaining to Al why it's unnecessary to give allocate money for "The Wave" transit system. "Poor people are being forced to eat large amounts of unhealthy good (including "off brand" snacks)", said the Uncle. "If you have a bus, people are not likely to walk", said the Uncle. "I heard from a lot of people that they have made arrangements to get some ducks", said the Uncle on the adoption of ducks from Municipal (Langan) Park in Mobile to reduce population and the number of duck-related attacks. Our host reminded listeners of yesterday's show, specifically one caller "claiming that God made ducks for us to look at" rather than eat, a statement our host finds ludicrous. Our host brought to our attention a story on miniature cows in comparison to the duck adoption. "You can put more of the little cows on a acre than you do the big cows", said the Uncle on these cows that some folks find cute to look at. Our host reminds listeners to dial (251) 479-2723 to join today's show, send electronic mail to unclehenry@newsradio710.com, and to leave a voice message at (251) 706-BULL. "Hey you, you, hey you, all right, this is starting to remind me of a Dan Daniel's Show", said the Uncle attempting to communicate to our first live caller. It turns out that our host was speaking to an unscreened call, meaning that our call screener Leeanna is not at her work post. "Why do you even have her? You don't even need her", as some listeners said to our host in the past. During the first commercial break, our host will try to round up Leeanna from her current whereabouts. After the first commercial break, "Have we lost our minds, how many 83-year-old females are terrorists?" one caller asked via voice message. "I have a message for you liberal listeners", said the Uncle to the listeners that "bellyache" at the issue of domestic spying or eaves dropping. "That's how they caught these terrorists in surveying them", said the Uncle. "Shame on you", said the Uncle before speaking to our first live caller Eric. "You mentioned in the last segment that you're going to [get on] and die one day", said Eric. "Well, we love you", said Eric before our host mentioned the idea of syndicating the show for listeners such as Eric to hear our host live on. "I'm not implying that I have some health crisis, I'm doing just fine", said the Uncle, including his gout problem. "Good morning to you, hello", said the Uncle to our next caller, who mentioned that it's illegal to have livestock within Mobile city limits. "I'm coming back from across the bay and I'm going through the tunnel", said Norman, causing our host to say, "uh-oh". "Like that fellow says, it's not an 80-year-old white man blowing up these airplanes", said Norman in response to the previous voice message. "You know, these people need to get a grip", said Norman. "A lot of people mentioned this stuff about profiling", said the Uncle before mentioning the names of suspects arrested for conspiracy. "Do you get the message?", said the Uncle before going through the names again. "There seems to be something that these people have in common", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller George. "They are free ducks and geese, they cannot produce any paper or any title", said George with his "humble opinion". "Thank you George, quack free or die", said the Uncle, who wonders if the police can send a swat team to protect ducks from a predator. "All right, still ripe for that one. Thanks a lot, Leeanna!" said our host in anger. "When she does answer the calls, apparently, even a duck can call in", said the Uncle after squeezing in a caller that quacked like a certain Donald Duck. "Whenever I want to remember something, instead of actually remembering it", our host sends electronic mail to himself. Speaking of sending electronic mail to your own address, our host finds this to be a good tip for life. Home listeners now have two options, run immediately to the TV set to view "The Price is Right" or listen to the rest of the show. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.5/5!


"Another Hot One" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" (with all-time caller Leroy's "Roll Tide Roll" in the background), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to a voice message suggesting the idea of a "Senior Citizens Gone Wild" event in the region for some reason. "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air", our regularly played clip from Mobile's radio past followed the voice message. Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "Uncle Henry, this is Danny", said our caller via voice message. "That Chuck Norris is so old, I saw him on an infomercial on a walker", said Danny after our host mentioned "Walker, Texas Ranger" on the air Monday. The voice message ended sooner due to a certain word Danny used. Something that Norris would land on if he were to fall off his walker. "Yes! Yes", said the Uncle during his pre-recorded introduction before thanking listeners for tuning in and acknowledging listeners just getting out of the bathtub to hear the show better. Yes, he never shouted, "Thank you so much!" after the introduction. "Well, we have a lot to talk about, so much", said the Uncle. "I very much enjoyed the presentation in the Press-Register today", said the Uncle referring to "one of the Mardi Gras revelers on the school board", Hazel Fournier to be precise. "We saved money with handkerchief", said the Uncle after noticing Kleenex tissue to be a required school item. "You had usually more than one, so you can go several days without having to do the laundry", said the Uncle. "Is it because the schools have so many allergens", our host wonders about the need for Kleenex tissue at local schools. "I didn't know mentioning Baldwin County schools at a Mobile County School Board meeting was so inflammatory", said the Uncle. "Hazel Fournier, you ought to by optimistic", said the Uncle. "Did they say something about you doing a little bit better on those tests? Why no happiness?" our host asked. Our host has a relative who just graduated from college and cannot find an available teaching position in Baldwin County. "Let me use some slang here, chill out, as the children say", our host said to Fournier. "You ought to be happy that the people are bringing Kleenex in there", said the Uncle. "There are other things, I'm just getting started", said the Uncle. "For those clamoring for the Leeanna teeth commercial, she will be discussing her teeth in about 10 minutes", said the Uncle before the first commercial break. "Uncle Henry Show brought to you by Hall's Meats", said the Uncle in his live commercial for the popular meat products made in Chickasaw, Alabama. "They're happy there", said the Uncle. After the first commercial break, "Hey Uncle Henry, I was here in Government Plaza, it's got a big crate over here, it's kind of suspicious", said Tim via voice message after seeing the crate marked "Northrop Grumman", which our caller believes gave Mobile County Commissioner Steve Nodine some relief. "You don't let your children ride on the street on anything", said Tim after noticing this "celebration of children in the streets on go karts" in the Press-Register. "You know who are you, you need to get your children under control", said the Uncle after listening to Tim's voice message. "Let's see who we have here, hello there", said the Uncle before Jim the Tax Man joined us on the air. "Boy, that is a slick commercial by Billion Dollar Bob, but let's get on to more important things", said Jim speaking about the commercial that aired during the previous commercial break. He also wonders about the significance of the name "Thelma". "I am fascinated by the words and how [they are used] used", said the Uncle before replaying parts of the advertisement a few times. "I haven't used 'plum' in a long time", said the Uncle. "Sorry Leeanna, I've plumed forgot" is how our host would use "plum" in a sentence. Speaking of our call screener, it's time for the Dr. Byron Scott dental promotion. "You know what's good for a 7-year-old, a buzz cut", said the Uncle after mentioning Leeanna's son Zachary's spiked hair, which she finds very "punkish". "What is Byron Scott's number, because I've plumed forgot", said the Uncle just a few seconds before the station ID and newsbreak at 10 o'clock, giving home listeners little time to run over to the nearest TV set to view "The Price is Right" from the beginning. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.7/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "When they meet, they want to meet in the dark, they want to meet in secrecy", said the late community activist Lillian Jackson in an audio clip. "Yes, all right, yes", said the Uncle during his pre-recorded introduction before his usual shout of, "Thank you so much!" "I've got a lot to cover today", said the Uncle warning listeners in advance of the difficulty of handing today's show, including the restraint of constructive criticism of our call screener Leeanna now that her three children are present. "Today, interviewers are beginning for the municipal judge and there are some council members who don't want you know", said the Uncle. "Something's going on there, don't know what it is", said the Uncle. "Meanwhile in school news, isn't it shocking", said the Uncle referring to a story that involves the Press-Register. "Instead of focusing on the Mobile aspect, they have Baldwin schools succeed, educators rejoice", said the Uncle on yesterday's statewide school test results. "What does Simon say?" said the Uncle to our first live caller Simon. "Our school system is pretty much a microcosm of our society", said Simon. "Does this mean that Mobile as a society is not doing well as Baldwin?" our host asked Simon, who is from Baldwin County and has grown children. "Does it speak for itself, the newspaper article", Simon wonders. "This is just a topic that I love [as] both of my parents were teachers", said Simon. "I think you've got a lot of listeners out there that think about things in society", said Simon before leaving us. "The people who listen to this show have wide interests", said the Uncle before giving listeners a preview of the next program segment. "Of course, Leeanna will talk about her teeth", said the Uncle, along with a visit by our call screener's children. "Immediately the Mobile County School Board came up with one decision, if there is one child in Saraland in a magnet school, that child will immediately be kicked out", said Danny via voice message after the first commercial break. "Uncle Henry Show continues, Uncle Henry Show available online", said the Uncle, who doesn't quite understand Danny's problem with the Mobile County Public School System. "I am checking my e-mail as this program continues", said the Uncle. "Leeanna, get in here, please, and bring your children", said the Uncle as Leeanna's theme music plays. "Leeanna, you brought, all three of your children here, right?" said the Uncle before playing the "Little Rascals" theme. Our host asked the children, Haley, Emily, and Zachary what grades they have advanced to. "Do you have a truckload of stuff to get up there?" our host asked, with the children responding with "no". Turns out the eldest child Haley has the same teacher at Hollinger's Island Middle School as our call screener when she was in school. "Y'all answer questions a lot like your mama", said the Uncle. "You meet the teacher at the elementary school at noon", our host confirmed. "Did your mom take you to the David Lee Roth concert?" our host asked. "Does your mom let you listen to the Rocket (WRKH 96.1 "The Rocket" FM)?" our host asked Emily, who knows the lyrics to songs such as those by Cheap Trick. The very mention of Cheap Trick being a favorite was taking this show unto a different direction, according to our host. Near the end of this program segment, everyone got to hear about the office of Dr. Byron Scott, the one responsible for Leeanna's recent dental work. "You spent a quite a bit of money on it", said the Uncle. "All right Leeanna, you may take your group", said the Uncle as the "Little Rascals" theme plays in the background again. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 5/5!

Today's Show

We start off today's show not from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), but from audio of caller Tim saying, "dad gum it". The theme song, those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973"), and the Dan Daniels clip ("Ok here we go, hello you're on the air") followed Tim. Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "Henry, these politicians are not stupid like the gentlemen was talking about", said a caller in a classic audio clip with the Uncle. "We are dealing with a bunch of crooks in government", said this caller on the folks that our host would consider to be "crafty". "Well tell us something new, we knew that", said the Uncle. "We need an honest man, please someone come forward", said the fellow at the end of the clip. "Thank you so much! Thank you listener, I am Uncle Henry, I am coming forward, here for you, here to interact with you", said the Uncle, who is not necessarily with us in person. "Leeanna, if you're in there, you better get that phone", said the Uncle. "The show will probably be better if it's just me without the screening", according to our host. "There's political stories and news stories, war", said the Uncle, but first he must get to something irritating him at the moment. "The new thing to worry about in our country is shopping carts", said the Uncle after learning this from a study by 60,000 pediatricians or so. "Horrific, horrific tragedies caused by shopping carts", said the Uncle, who has yet to see at least one tragedy. "Whatever you do, don't put 'em (the child) in a shopping cart, their advice is to bring another adult with you", said the Uncle. "These people are out of there minds, they've never, they've obviously been taking too much time thinking about this", said the Uncle. "I'm sick of these studies, that's from the pediatricians, otherwise respective until today", said the Uncle before getting to a study on wrestling and its influence on children. "If girls watch wrestling, girls will become violent", said the Uncle, who asked himself what kind of a girl watches wrestling rather than a program such as the serial "As the World Turns". "Let's begin interaction on today's Uncle Henry Show with Otis", said the Uncle. "British Petroleum has shut the oil field down", said Otis, who originally thought the oil from the Alaskan field went to Japan. Otis also asked how the nation of Israel gets oil. "Thanks for the Republican Party in Baldwin County", said Otis as he left us, giving our host a case of laughter. "You take all that oil from the oil supply, the prices are bound to go up", said the Uncle. "I stick with BP because they are our allies", said our next caller. "The motorcycle police, out in Mobile, making their presence felt", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller George, who did "a little reading about judges and juries", which mad him realize that a jury can disregard the law if they want. "A jury needs to think of themselves as the Supreme Court of the United States", said George. "They can't even try a person without a grand jury, which is we the people", said George seconds before the first commercial break. After the break, a voice message from Tim as he pursues a luncheon was played. "Uncle Henry Show continues on this beautiful Monday, I like Mondays", said the Uncle before speaking to Robert. "Do you get the Saturday Mobile Register?" Robert asked, with our host responding that he just picked up a Saturday newspaper for the first time in years. Robert wanted to bring to our attention a cartoon portrayal of Rush Limbaugh as a Klansman. "It's clearly Rush Limbaugh and he's clearly wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe", said Robert. "I do not believe in the government giving out tax dollars for art, I don't believe in government subsidies for the art", said the Uncle. "You obviously do love it and believe in it, but I'm going to be the one who disagrees", said the Uncle to certain listeners. "It's hard to believe that it would disappear without government money", said the Uncle on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). "Why do I have to subsidize a Muppet when the Muppet can subsidize itself?" our host asked. "Good morning!" said the Uncle to our next caller. "They need a leg up", said this fellow. "How about giving me a dab gum subsidy, then?" said our host angrily. "Things that work in the marketplace are sex & violence, not puppet shows", said our caller. Our host threw in "Mama's Family" and "The Andy Griffith Show" among the TV programs that don't fit our caller's view of the marketplace today. "Give me some shows that would last two years", said our caller. "Andy Griffith, it's on Channel 5 (WKRG) right now", said the Uncle. "That wholesome program proved itself 15 or 20 years ago", said our caller. "You want the government to pay for the next Andy Griffith", said our caller. "You lost this battle of the intellects", said the Uncle near the end of this half-hour of today's show. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 5/5!


"PM T'storms" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" (with all-time caller Leroy's "Roll Tide Roll" in the background), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "You know, I don't know what's going to happen, or how we are going to-I don't know if America is going to survive", said the late community activist Lillian Jackson. "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air", another clip from Mobile's radio past followed Miss Jackson. Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed our new previous clips. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). The rest of the Jackson clip played, including, "but they have gotten this country in a such a mess, that it seems unsolvable". "Yes", the Uncle said four times before shouting, "Thank you so much! Uncle Henry Show underway for a Friday". Our host believes the show should have been underway since 6:00 AM, but admits that he does not make the rules. "I'm just curious, I seem to be alone on one topic. There's one topic that I'm by myself on", said the Uncle. "The topic is this new bus service, a government wants people to ride the bus from Baldwin County", said the Uncle. "Ride the bus to the GM&O in downtown Mobile" and back to Baldwin County, according to our host. "I don't know who's going to ride this bus?" our host asked after hearing others at the "Clear Channel Radio Complex", better known as the WKRG building on 555 Broadcast Drive say that the bus service is a wonderful idea. "All you can do at the GM&O is take another bus", said the Uncle, especially after the established fact of Water Street being "the Berlin Wall of Mobile". "I wonder if this is just some type of scheme to get more money in the area for buses and stuff?" our host asked himself. "I've asked them, 'Well, are you going to take the bus?'" our host said to fellow employees today. "Well, no", said one of the folks according to our host. "I also want to thank at this point, some NewsRadio 710 listeners", said the Uncle to those who met our call screener Leeanna at public events for radio station WRKH 96.1 "The Rocket" FM and also admitted "that they don't listen to the Rocket". Our first live caller Mike joined us with a "Roll Tide" shout. "You're the first person I've heard today to share that opinion", said the Uncle to Mike regarding the bus service idea. "I'm going to ask you questions today and I want to know what happened to the ferry. Are they still going to do that?" said the Uncle. "I'm going to come up with a list of other questions", said the Uncle. "Let the phone ring, Leeanna not answering", said the Uncle before the first commercial break. After the first commercial break and a voice message from Kermit, our host spoke to David live on the air. "We can't even pay those school teachers!" David shouted. "For those that are hard of hearing, I'm sure they'll appreciate the yelling", said the Uncle. "You can shout and I can modulate, you it sounds even better", said the Uncle before answering the next calls "blindly for a short segment". "I bet you call all the time and Leeanna doesn't put you through", said the Uncle to our next caller who spoke about minimum wage. "Are you ready to ride the bus to Baldwin County?" our host asked Norman. "That thing's still standing out there empty", Norman asked about the historic GM&O building. "I thought they had moved some folks up there", said Norman before the Uncle repeated for him that there are people in there. "That'd be a good name for this show", said the Uncle after hearing Norman mention that he heard "the tail end of it", specifically the news about the bus idea. "The Tail End of It Show" is what our host would rename the show. "If you're a new teacher, you're going to have to come out of your own pocket", said our next caller, whose wife is a schoolteacher. "No wonder we have a teacher shortage", said the Uncle. "God bless you and your family, I hate to hear that", said the Uncle seconds away from the newsbreak. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 5/5!


"Typical August" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "Yes", said the Uncle during his pre-recorded introduction before his shout of, "Thank you so much! Uncle Henry Show underway on a beautiful Thursday". "I'm already enjoying myself, because I love that song ("My Love is Mobile"), said the Uncle. "The Senate has voted to finally fund that fence, you know this is very good news", said the Uncle. "A few months have passed and now they have voted to fund the fence", said the Uncle. "They went back to Washington and [funded] the fence", said the Uncle on this piece of good news among the negative ones recently. "Last night, it was NBC News, it was their national news", said the Uncle after viewing a "reality check" report on the weather, or a "national version" of the heat index. "It's all over the news and I'm leading up to something, follow me with this", said the Uncle before getting to "hotter nights" after reading the Press-Register. "More people will die because nights are hotter", said the Uncle interpreting the Press-Register article. "You're being prepared for this, there are going to be several initiatives with this global warming move, there's going to be some kind of reich with air conditioners", said the Uncle. "I don't know if they'll build giant sleep centers in every town", said the Uncle, but he still believes something is going to happen after this "unique heat wave". "I guess the global warming people wants us to stop driving cars", according to our host. "You'd still get hot on the bicycle, so what's the point?" our host asked. "So this is all very troubling, all very troublesome", said the Uncle to listeners, including folks who are climatized. "Hot feels hot, now at my age when I was 10", said the Uncle, whose only difference now is being seen as a "nut". "I don't suck up that gravy", said the Uncle before the first commercial break. After the break, "If time holds the answer to everything, in time we'll know", said Mobile City Council member Fredrick Richardson in an audio clip. "They'll put it down our throats whether we like it or not", said our first live caller in agreement with the Uncle. "I think that I know how I can exactly have gas under a $1.00", said our caller. "Let the engineering of the American people work again", said our caller before leaving us. Our host was listening to a National Public Radio broadcast on today's topic earlier, as he mentioned during the previous call. "Uncle Henry" was enough for our host to recognize Chuck's voice. "You're saving an hour of daylight every time", said Chuck after hearing about the "hotter nights". "What's the difference between then and now?" our caller asked. "Get rid of this daylight saving time thing", Chuck suggested before leaving. "Snow falling on Johannesburg", our host brought to our attention. "I don't know how the snow's going to tie into this", said the Uncle, but believes it's possible in the case of the "global warming people". "How are you doing today?" our host said to Randy, who brought to our attention a way to make your own fuel for the automobile. "It's something you're aware of, but not interested in", said the Uncle. "It's like Leeanna's MySpace page", said the Uncle in comparison to this way of making fuel. Not only will our host continue to share his anger at last night's "Nightly News" program after the newsbreak, but he will speak about "the disarray of the Democrat Party". Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 4.9/5!


"Pop-Up T'storms" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show from the unofficial theme song "My Love is Mobile" ("that's my wonderful town"), followed by those familiar notes of music ("CBS Special Presentation 1973") leading up to the following audio clip: "Ok here we go, hello you're on the air". Reggie Copeland ("and I know what I did when I woke up this morning at a quarter of six and I said this is going to be a great day in the City of Mobile and that felt so good") of the Mobile City Council and "The Idea Guy" ("when I woke up this morning at 5:13 and 32 seconds, I knew this was going to be a great day in the City of Mobile") followed that clip from Mobile's radio past. Ending this theme of audio clips on today being "a great day in the City of Mobile" was Tim ("it is a great day in the City of Mobile, yeah that's right"). "Thank you so much! Uncle Henry Show underway on this beautiful, beautiful Wednesday in the southern Alabama region, encompassing Mobile [County] and Baldwin County", said the Uncle greeting one and all. "Before I get to the serious issues, I have something not as serious", said the Uncle with some good news for Auburn fanatics. "This is also good news for Tennessee Titan and Florida Gator fans", said the Uncle. "The color orange is no longer a bad color", said the Uncle after reading an article in the newspaper USA Today. "You're probably thinking that, you never realized that orange, there was a problem with orange", said the Uncle after paraphrasing certain listeners. "So according to the Color Association of America, Orange, a low-life color, a low-life color with unpleasant contentation", said the Uncle. "Now it's being seen as energetic and vibrant", said the Uncle. "Your shirt is now suddenly fashionable", our host said to an employee of country music radio station WKSJ-FM. "I love passing on good news", said the Uncle between giving out the telephone number to join the show live and the voice message number to leave a recording. Our host mentioned his recent takeover of a web page originally created by our call screener Leeanna and 710 AM employee Trey Lane as a false site by our host. "You've heard of MySpace, it's a web page where children are apparently attacked by online predators", said the Uncle. "It's been kind of a dangerous place on the Internet, with all kinds of freaks", said the Uncle, who will be creating an oasis among the weirdoes. "I have a wonderful time of communicating with Rush Limbaugh", said the Uncle. "Before we get to the serious topics, we'll have a quick discussion of Leeanna's mouth", said the Uncle before the first commercial break. After the first commercial break and Leeanna's promotion of Dr. Byron Scott's dental makeovers, "Hey Uncle Henry, I noticed that we've got this sales tax holiday coming up. I don't know if it's a good weekend to have it or not. Dag gum it, we have the monster truck show coming", said Tim via voice message. "Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710 WPMI, (251) 479-2723 is the number. I'm glad we'll have this sales holiday, I suppose", said the Uncle. "Sales tax holiday for gasoline", our host suggested as a way to help everybody in Alabama. "Children suck up money like nothing else on the planet", said the Uncle on families having a rough time paying for gasoline. "These are not going to be regular children going out with their parents over the weekend, [these are] irritable children", said the Uncle. "Offer a special check out line that is child free", our host suggested for major retailers as an alternative for mature folks aged in their 60s, 70s, and 80s."People with children are already getting a break, they're getting a tax free break", said the Uncle. "Do me favor, give me a line for the older shopper, and I appreciate the senior citizen parking", said the Uncle, but he would like to see the retailers go further. "There's a teacher deficit in Mobile County", according to our host. "There's a hiring spree until they get these transition schools straighten out", said the Uncle. "You would think that this kind of stuff would be settled by now", said the Uncle, as we are a few weeks away from the beginning of a new school year. "This last minute stuff, that's, I don't know, I've never been a teacher. Maybe teachers can jump in", said the Uncle. "All right, Uncle Henry Show taking a time out for some news. After the news, more of your interaction, and more of my opinions", said the Uncle. "I haven't even scratched the service of what I think of this Jo Bonner story", said the Uncle after reading today's Press-Register. Today's 9:30 AM half-hour gets a 5/5!
