Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you for continuing to listen, it's 9:07", said the Uncle, who reminded listeners anywhere how to call in either locally or long distance. "Lots of outrage this morning", said the Uncle, who read the front-page news in the Press-Register about Fredrick Richardson of the Mobile City Council. "You remember the story from May", he said about a Murphy High School student who beat up a teacher and another young fellow recording it on video using a cellular phone with video capabilities. "He said it's wrong to expel this fellow who was videotaping it with his phone", the Uncle said about the council member. "I think he went to Bishop State and he went to Harvard", said the Uncle, yet "he seems he doesn't understand that you cannot have an atmosphere where students are savagely beaten". "The principal at Murphy in the newspaper said, 'Look, we have to make sure that people protect our teachers' ", said the Uncle. "It's a position Fred Richardson has often taken stances that are very substantial and he doesn't care about public opinion", said the Uncle. "I guess I'm double shocked that you would want anybody to know you thought this", he believes. "It's indefensible to stand [for] this videotaping", said the Uncle, though no videotape was used in the cellular phone used to capture the teacher beating. "I hope that the school system for once does the right thing and does not let this fellow back in the school. So Harold Dodge, stand firm on this and let the expulsion stand", said the Uncle. "Is there no other cause that you can find to use your influence to further?" our host asked Fredrick Richardson. "Stand up against that instead of this case", said the Uncle before speaking to caller Connie. "He's supporting the problem by defending this kind of behavior", said Connie. "I think that if we are bullied by the student, I think they can come run to someone with a lame excuse and then we come up running amuck", said Connie. "I think Fred Richardson is creating-is croaking the problem", she believes. "We need to make anybody need to accept the responsibility for what they did", said Connie. "Fred Richardson needs to find his own business. This is not his affair in my opinion", she said before leaving us. "There are all ready lots of controversy in the school system", said the Uncle. "We've all watched the terrible difficult problems that have erupted in the middle schools over the last few years", he said for example. "Where would you be left as a parent", he asked. "Good morning, Uncle Henry", said our next caller Bill. "I want to call in on the side if Fred Richardson were on the side if a black student beat up the teacher", said Bill. While leaving aside race, our host created the hypothetical situation of a couple of students beating up a city council member. "There's no excuse for it, but you know as I know someone will call in in defense", said our next caller, who mentioned a previous statement by Fredrick Richardson ("give the brother a chance") defending the singer Ludacris performing at Mobile's annual BayFest music festival in October. He referred to our host as "brother" before ending his call. "How are you doing this morning, Uncle Henry?" said our next caller Rod, a photographer "who shoots a lot of video too" for a living. "The thing is the child knew something was going to be done to the teacher", our host said about the fellow who recorded the teacher beating. "The video he shot supports the case against the student", said Rod. "The issue is you can't tolerate a bunch of students conspiring together", said the Uncle. "This is not about videotaping rights", he added. "The videotape is evidence in that case, correct?" Rod asked. "Nobody is mad at photographers", said the Uncle. Rod mentioned the police and district attorney having video evidence. "You're missing the point entirely", said the Uncle. "He should've just attempted to stop these people from doing that", our next caller said about the fellow who made the video. "Are you saying that teachers should take their beatings?" the Uncle asked our next caller Brad, whose opinion about students returning after expulsion is not believable. "I think you're calling in to fire up other callers. You're not being sincere", according to our host. After the break for commercials and some Fredrick Richardson audio clip, "All right, (251) 479-2723 is the number. Let's talk to Jimmy. Hello Jimmy", said the Uncle. "Have they said anything what they think about it?" Jimmy asked about the parents of the students involved in the teacher beating. Our host knows that the mama of the fellow who made the video went to Fredrick Richardson. "I was just wondering what those parents had to say about that", said Jimmy before leaving us. "You know, the kid who took the video, did he not put it on the Internet?" said our next caller, who finds the fellow guilty. "My mother is a retired educator, as my sister is", said the caller. "Good morning, Uncle Henry", said our next caller Lloyd, who called in response to Brad's call about the teacher beating being a "justifiable assault", as Lloyd put it. "He was trying to make you feel like that", said the Uncle. "I think he really doesn't care what happens to him. He's a loser and he's always been a loser", Lloyd said about one of the students.

After the break and a few voice messages, "Let's get back to the phones", said the Uncle before getting a "Roll Tide" from our next caller. "This goes to the caller who was talking about the videotape being used as evidence", said our next caller Tom, who mentioned Murphy High School's video camera capturing the two students involved in the teacher beating. "The video taping a prank is against the rules to start with, so he should be punished for that", said Tom. "Thank you very much for your phone call, Tom", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Carol. "I don't think they're going to do anything about the thugs in school", said Carol. "It seems like the school board has their heads in the sand", she said before leaving us. "It seems that the next school superintendent is in town", said the Uncle. "So welcome to Mobile", he said before speaking to Greg, who also had a "Roll Tide" for our host. "Is this Fred Richardson being borderline of being racist?" Greg asked about the councilman's stance being discussed. "The caller said earlier that it's a brother helping another brother out", he added. "There's no argument whatsoever, no matter what color", said Greg. "Let's talk to James. Good morning, James", said the Uncle. "Now the question at hand is what we do with the kid", said James. "You have to take care of him for the rest of his life and he doesn't have an education", said James. "What would Jesus do?" he asked our host. "He'd probably makes sure the other teachers are protected so that student doesn't get back into the school", the Uncle answered. "Are we going to support him for the rest of his natural life because he doesn't have an education?" James asked. Our host mentioned the alternative school solution. "Well, this guy's cell phone cut off", said the Uncle, who was willing to hear the rest of James' call. "My wife is in the elementary schools in Mobile", said our next caller. "It's the parents who come down there threatening teachers", said the caller, who was obviously angry when he said "ridiculous". "So, it's the parents being the police coming [down] to the schools?" our host asked. "Anyway, I'll talk to you later. Roll Tide!" said the caller. Our host responded to the battle cry before taking a final break for today. After the break, "It's now Fred Richardson who has surpassed Mike Dow (former mayor of Mobile) as the most quotable", said the Uncle, who believes "give the brother a chance" will live on for many years along with other quotable lines in his audio archives. "I can go on and on and I won't", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Carol. "I want a ban on cell phones in school, number one", said Carol, whose idea was on our host's mind too. "Ok, have a great day, Uncle Henry, and I enjoy your show", said Carol before leaving us. "Whatever happened-I've got a friend of mine who used to be a school teacher", said J. D., who wonders about the reform school alternative in the state. "I don't know the current state of reform schools", said the Uncle. "I used to use it as a threat on my children", he mentioned. "You know, there are people that are just bad. I don't know if they grew up that way or they choose to be that way", said our next caller "Top Cat". "The question is-there should be, why do we let him live?" the caller asked. "Are you talking about the fellow who did the beating or the fellow who did the videotaping?" our host asked. "You cannot possibly be suggesting that there is a death penalty case?" he also asked. "I guess you can't do that", "Top Cat" responded. "I hear what you're saying", said the Uncle after finding out about "Top Cat" having a friend who is a teacher. "We listen so we can learn. Well, most of us are from the earlier generation where we got to learn. Teachers taught us to learn", said our next caller also named Tom, who finds school to be "like a club" nowadays. Tom actually spoke to the judge who faced one of the students involved in the teacher beating. "There was no one nowhere to stand with that young man. I am not defending what that young man did, but just a few days ago on television we saw a 7-year-old terrorize a community in Pensacola", said Tom. "This is a bad situation in this country where we have to look a juvenile crimes differently than we used to", said Tom. "It's a pleasure hearing from you again", said the Uncle, who is unable to hear Tom some more due to the constraints of time.

Today's 9 o'clock hour gets a 5/5!

"T'storms Likely" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues on this wonderful Wednesday. Thank you for continuing to listen", said the Uncle, who wants to ask folks working for the City of Mobile if there will be "anymore of these annexation hot dog giveaways" in West Mobile. "I will drive to section A or section B, C, or D. Especially if it's on a workweek", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Michael. Hello there, Michael", said the Uncle, who was referred to by our caller as "buddy boy" before asking our host about the return of the popular TV program "Dancing with the Stars". "I am very, very excited about this", said the Uncle. "I will let you share with your listeners and have a good day. War Eagle!" said Michael before leaving us. Our host witnessed the appearances of Emmett Smith and Jerry Rice on the program. "I enjoyed seeing both of them dance on 'Dancing with the Stars' ", said the Uncle. "They have announced the new lineup for 'Dancing with the Stars', which includes Wayne Newton", said the Uncle, who is happy to know Newton will be visible the "the younger generation" of TV viewers. An audio clip of Marie Osmond singing "I'm a little bit county" was used to introduce listeners to the news of her inclusion in the program's lineup. "That's right, she's not good enough for BayFest, but she's good enough for 'Dancing with the Stars' ", said the Uncle. "Marie!" he shouted. "I guess she's not nasty enough for BayFest", our host believes. "That should be a lesson to Bobby Bostwick", said the Uncle, "and they really should have me for a small portion" of the airtime for "Dancing with the Star" on the ABC Television Network. "Uncle Henry, did you get the four papers I sent you", our next caller asked before receiving a positive response. "This administration in Mobile decided they're going to bypass the Bill of Rights, they are going to bypass the Constitution" to annex West Mobile, said the caller. "West Mobile has an area between Old Shell and Cody Road", said the caller. "What they did is take the (roads') voters out of the voting list over the past 20 years", said the caller. "A violation of the Constitution of the United States and the people of Mobile should realize we don't need sleazy" elections, said the caller. "Most of these people are the poorest people", said the caller, who included retired and older people. "Now the sewer issue will not come up in the election", the caller believes. "You're going to be hit with high taxes", our caller said to residents between the two roads mentioned. "Very passionate, very spirited call. I have not heard anything about the sewers", said the Uncle before our next caller Sanford, who wants to talk about yesterday's Mobile County Commission election. "Maybe one of our listeners out there will fill us in on that", said Sanford, who recalls how the previous county commissioner lost his position compared to one of the runoff candidates. "Well, I am encouraging people to come out to the Saraland City Council meetings", said Sanford, who attended last week's meeting with few participants. "You know, I hear people keep talking about private schools", said our next caller Calvin, who had a child attend private school during her kindergarten years, and now she is on her way to college. "There is nothing wrong with the public schools. Get behind and make them better", said Calvin before talking about the annexation issue. "All the people trashing it are calling from somewhere [else] besides West Mobile", said Calvin, a West Mobile resident. "You need to give Sam Jones credit", said Calvin, giving credit to the mayor of Mobile for the hot dog giveaway. "The plan they [took] together is going to succeed, at least for section A", said the Uncle. "It makes me wonder why-why hasn't this been tried before?" our host asked. "Hey, the plan is crafty. The plan is crafty and cleaver. They have figured out to get all these businesses", said the Uncle. "I think it's time for the people of West Mobile to get crafty", said our next caller, who asked when the first annexation election will take place (in October, as our host mentioned). After listening to our previous caller before the break for commercials, "That was not the nicest kind of call to get and I wish you would not think on those terms", said the Uncle. After the break and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. (251) 479-2723 is the telephone number", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Ron. "They got five parking spaces, it's not very far from my shop", said Ron, who has noticed five spaces reserved for board members in the Mobile County Public School System. "Why would they need a reserved parking spot just to park their fat behind", Ron asked. "You'll see it if you look for it. It's something else to make you sick", said Ron before leaving us. "I was looking for information on these candidates for school board superintendent", said the Uncle, who read the Clayton County News newspaper for their report on a former school superintendent from Georgia. "I'm wondering how many of these-it must be worth it", our host said about the candidate's breakfast and lunch with school board members. "I'm looking forward to a report from Crockett tomorrow", said the Uncle, who awaits the listener's eyewitness account of the superintendent selection process.

After the break and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710", said the Uncle, who is all ready looking forward to hearing "the good Mike Sloan news" after today's show, but first he must speak to our next caller Jerry. "Anyway, have you found the positive to the baggy pants yet?" Jerry asked, since he remembers his grandparents saying that the positive can be found in anything. "One hand to control the pants", said the Uncle, who thanked Jerry for the call. "Got some good news for the state of Alabama that is being-the news media is trying to make it bad news, but they have released new poverty rates", said the Uncle. "The percentage of people living in poverty in Alabama is down", said the Uncle, who has read in other publications that "we are still the worse" in poverty. Our host poverty statistics in the publication called the National Review. "Keep in mind, we're being told that Alabama is one of the worse-we are poor and we're not doing enough", said the Uncle as he looks at the statistics to be read on the air. "So keep these things in mind", said the Uncle. "I want to make a comment regarding the school children", said our next caller Bill, who found the term "broke wood", as used by an unidentified teacher, to be an improper example for her student. "Listening closely to the show", our host said about Bill before attempting to speak to Wayne. "Wayne is gone", said the Uncle before successfully reaching William. "We can argue about whether governors can do what Gov. Riley did" to appoint a county commissioner such as Juan Chastang, said the Uncle. "I still don't understand why he was the one suggested to Gov. Riley and why Gov. Riley went on and made the appointment?" he asked. "I don't know anything about the (school board) offices, but-yeah, it's-so, it's suppose to be a part time job", said the Uncle. "Many of these positions are set up as part time jobs", said the Uncle, but later the elected person makes the position a full time job. After the final break for today, "Uncle Henry Show continues. We have news coming up in less than 10 minutes!" said the Uncle, who also mentioned the radio program "Ask the Expert" with Scott O'Brien following the news. Coincidentally, our next caller's name was Scott, who wanted to clarify a few things for our host. "There are two kinds of test called the SAT test", said Scott, who clarified the Standard Achievement Test and the Scholastic Achievement Test. "Just information", said Scott before leaving us. "That was a very interesting phone call, because someone was telling me about that this morning", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller April, who wants to hear some poverty statistics again. "Let's see, a third of people classified as poor have both a cell phone and an answering machine", said the Uncle. April referred to our host as "sir" before leaving us. "A young person using the common courtesy", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller. After that caller, "You bring back pleasant memories about how I lived next to a septic tank", said the Uncle. "I didn't get a chance to get to the e-mails today", said the Uncle, who reminded listeners about the electronic mail messages posted online. Our host has realized that listeners "will be a lot meaner in an e-mail" compared to a call to the show. "They're not all mean! So you got that at NewsRadio 710.com", said the Uncle. "I guess my number two favorite columnist in the Mobile newspaper is David Holloway", said the Uncle, whose number one favorite Press-Register columnist is Bill Finch. "I love the photograph illustrating the hamburger ingredients", said the Uncle, who wonders if the columnist finds some of his readers lacking in the "common sense" of making of hamburger. Maybe it's for the "immigrant population", our host supposes. "You're still my number two favorite columnist in the Mobile Press-Register", said the Uncle. "Have yourself a great day!" he said to his listeners at the end of today's show.

Today's 9 o'clock hour gets a 4.7/5!

"More Showers" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues. It's 9:07 here on NewsRadio 710", said the Uncle, who said the show's long distance call-in number twice. "There's a news story brewing out of Mobile County", the Uncle brought to our attention. "There's been no coverage of this and I don't know if the paper is going investigate", said the Uncle, who believes this story would be perfect for former WPMI-TV investor Josh Bernstein, who left Mobile for a TV news position in Sacramento, California. "APL is a company and the man in charge, I believe Victor Crawford, and this company started doing work" for Mobile County in 1988, said the Uncle. "I think the first contract was train county commission employees on computer stuff and stuff like that and the duties have changed over the years", he continued. "Over a hundred thousand dollars a year contract" 10 to 15 years ago, according to our host. "The problem that is erupted from this is there is not a lot of happiness with the information technology center in Mobile County", said the Uncle. "Yesterday at the county commission meeting they amended a contract", said the Uncle, who finds it a shame that the Press-Register did not cover it. "The county should be able to look at it (the center) anytime they want to. Well, when they couldn't get any accounting out of this, they brought in a consultant", said the Uncle, who understands that some folks don't like hearing the word "consultant". "The county's had to have their lawyers send letters to the contractor" to find out about their own source code, said the Uncle. "With this one guy, this contractor in control of all of this, he is not letting all the other information technology employees in Mobile County know about all this", said the Uncle. "Now there is a lot more to this", said the Uncle, who admits that it is "hard for me to connect all of this". Our host still wonders why the Press-Register felt this was not "worth putting in the newspaper" today. "They can't get their own property from the contractor", the Uncle made clear for us before reminding listeners how to join the show. "That's just a heads up, maybe it will be in the news at some point in the future", said the Uncle, who might "take some time off" and do his own investigation. "I would like to get some of these jobs", he said, referring to the consultant job and the former position of a candidate for the superintendent position in the Mobile County Public School System. "You need to follow the money. You need to ask Mayor Jones about his connections with Mr. Crawford", said caller Ray. "Just check into that matter, Uncle Henry", Ray said before leaving us. "You know, I've look at so many different names. The company (APL) had a different name earlier when it [first] started out", said the Uncle. "When you have a company to do work", said the Uncle, it's "not telling them (politicians) what they're doing". "Much like the building, dissatisfaction with the roof", said the Uncle, comparing the APL situation with the leaky roof of Government Plaza in downtown Mobile, though its name was not mentioned. After the break for commercials and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710", said the Uncle. "Trey Lane, if you're listening and you may not be, please come into the room", he said to the current call screener. "I would like to have a word to you and you're listening", said the Uncle as Trey entered the studio. "A rare chance to see you performing your music", said the Uncle. "That is correct", said Trey, who will be performing at an art exhibition this Friday evening. "So you are playing music, that is considered art", said the Uncle, who asked Trey what kind of music will he play. "I rather let the music speak for itself, Uncle Henry", said Trey. "Are you on the stage by yourself on a band?" the Uncle asked Trey, who will be performing by himself. "Playing your computer?" our host asked himself with surprise. "Will you be singing?" he asked Trey. "No", he answered. "Familiar songs or your own composition?" the Uncle asked Trey, who will be playing his own compositions, but admits to "stealing" other music. "No one will be harmed by this? It's not going to be like a Ludacris performance?" the Uncle asked. "I guess it's not going to be nasty it you're not singing", he said before Trey returned to his post. "Maybe they should hire him as a contractor in Mobile County?" our host suggested. "I'm going into the e-mail box. The e-mail subject line reads as follows, 'School Board Meeting' ", said the Uncle. The short message from listener Crockett reads as follows: "I'm going to try to fit in on some of tomorrow's interviews". According to our host, Crockett is "expanding" his reporting from the Mobile City Council meetings to the school board meetings. Our next caller Lauren asked if state senator Vivian Figures is actually meeting anyone personally. "I don't know if there is any official word she is dating anyone", said the Uncle, who read the local news pamphlet Lagniappe mentioning a relationship between Vivian Figures and the actor Louis Gossett. "That would be good for her to tag a Hollywood boyfriend", said the Uncle, since the state senator just announced her run for the Senate in Washington, D.C. "I read about this for a number of years", said our next caller, who recalls an "incredible line" by the attorney who defended William Jefferson Clinton, former president of the USA, during impeachment hearings. "It's almost never a good idea for attorneys to get in front of microphones. I know they do it all the time and think they're helping their client", said the Uncle. "It may be that I'm just pre-disposed that way to think that way about attorneys", he believes. "The Uncle Henry Show continues, you're listening to NewsRadio 710", the Uncle said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

As a voice message played after the break, a version of the theme music of the TV series "Perry Mason" was used as bumper music. "Uncle Henry Show continues on this beautiful, beautiful wet Tuesday", said the Uncle, who paused for less than a second between "beautiful" and "wet" due to a loud note in the bumper music. "Alabama, we're third on the list of fat", said the Uncle, who is "bothered that in a CNN story" about obesity in the USA, the idea of an "obesity czar" was mentioned. "They're going to pick some skinny person to be the obesity czar", our host predicts. "If anybody is going to save us from ourselves, it's going to be the federal government", said the Uncle as he continues to look at the report. "People all ready know that they shouldn't eat too much" he said, "people all ready know that they should exercise". "You can't come out with public service announcements. People quit eating", said the Uncle. "They might tax your food so that you can't afford to buy the gravy or whatever fatty food it is", he predicts. "I don't know what government program you can come up with, but that's the answer an obesity czar", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Warren. "What will they do, will they come in and identify the next obese person?" our host asked after Warren left us. "I'm ready for this to be a presidential election issue. I want this to happen", said the Uncle. "We've all been talking about how the war on drugs has been a [complete] failure since the 1980s", said the Uncle, who awaits "the war on fat" this time. "If you have any inside information on this weird information technology center", said the Uncle, send a message by electronic mail. "Good morning", said our next caller Bill. "Are you overweight?" the Uncle asked Bill. "No, I've been able to maintain my weight", said Bill, who recalls a young man who called the show claiming he was "drunk 24 hours a day". "I hope God talked to him or something", said Bill. "If you've got some good news, please call up", Bill said to this fellow. "A lot of these other talk shows, people don't care about their fellow caller, but Bill there cares about another caller", said the Uncle. "What does food stamps have to do with gaining weight?" the Uncle asked our next caller, who is barely understandable. "You can buy low calorie foods with food stamps too", our host suggested to this fellow. "Well, wealthy people are fat too", said the Uncle. After the caller, "People in the lower states: I've heard that argument", said the Uncle. "I think you can eat healthy and spend the same amount of money as you're eating fat", he explained before the final break for today. After the break, music from the movie "The Magnificent Seven" was used as bumper music. "Let's talk to Bob. Hello Bob", said the Uncle. "Roll Tide", said Bob, giving our host reason to shout "Roll Tide Roll!" "It's just easier to buy processed food", said Bob, who has experienced buying fresh produce at high prices. Bob believes in educating the world that "the parent has to educate the children how to eat right". "I am not looking forward to this new addition to the nanny state mentality", the Uncle said about the "obesity czar" idea. Our next caller and her husband saw "these two ladies and they were buying quarter pound steak and they were at Hardees". "I would suggest that they learn to cook", she said. "Was there fat people before television and the Internet and video games?" our next caller asked. "I think so", said the Uncle. "They (children) would rather eat their bonbons and watch TV", said the caller. "So it's not the actual person, not having responsibility to [do] for himself?" the Uncle asked. "I'm going to change the subject kind of a little bit", said our next caller Norman, who believes the federal government should not be paying citizens' health care. "They do publish nutrition guidelines", said Norman, who mentioned the food pyramid. "I never believed in the food pyramid", our host admitted. "Would you insure someone-are you following me--if you were living in a bowl that would somewhat fill up with water", said Norman. "Nothing seems to make sense anymore", said the Uncle. "It doesn't at all", Norman said before leaving us. "I am not looking forward to the way the government is in charge of the obesity problem", said the Uncle. "Do Not Reveal for Name, Please" is the subject line of our host's latest electronic mail message, which he won't read on the air to honor the writer's request for anonymity. "After the news, Scott O'Brien re-enters the studio", the Uncle said about his program director. "He is standing there looking at me through the glass", he added. "Thanks for listening to the Uncle Henry Show here on NewsRadio 710", the Uncle said to his listeners at the end of today's show.

Today's 9 o'clock hour gets a 5/5!

Notes of Interest:

Folks, Comcast Cablevision of Mobile's latest act of false hope took place yesterday afternoon, as a certain number of basic cable subscribers noticed the brief return of the cable/satellite channel ESPN Classic, one of four channels removed from basic cable in May. During the channel's programming of the "instant classic" the Little League World Series, ESPN Classic was replaced by color bars. Unlike ESPN Classic, C-SPAN2's brief return to basic cable subscribers in Mobile lasted more than one day before it ended with color bars. The former channel positions of Game Show Network and the Hallmark Channel could have color bars in the future. Good day!

"Showers and Thunderstorms" - TV5 meteorologist Jere Hough

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry continues. 9:07 on this glorious Monday in the confines of lower Alabama", said the Uncle, who reminded listeners how to contact him telephonically and telephonically. "Check the e-mail box again in just a little while", said the Uncle, who will share a little story from a Birmingham, Alabama newspaper about the Alabama Ethics Commission. "If we were to put a grass roof on this parking garage, K.P., we would have stone walls", our host said to a recent electronic mail sender who wrote about the idea of a new parking garage for an empty lot in downtown Mobile. "That's a whole new series of problems", he added, "I don't know". "I guess the only thing people will do is sit and look" around at the developed lot, our host predicts. "We wondered about how you hear about things being brought up, ethics violations", said the Uncle. "Years go by, you don't hear anything and you wonder what's going on with that", he continued to reflect. "Well, there's a story in this morning's Birmingham News", the Uncle said before reading the article. "I would like to see a list of the cases", he requested. "We know, those who pay attention", he reminded listeners. "All these cases that have been reported to the attorney general Troy King-haven't done anything", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to-Dixie. Hello Dixie", he said to our next caller. "I knew they had grand plans for it", said the Uncle, who is concerned about the best idea being considered for the downtown lot. "I don't think it's not. It's going to be in the middle of town", Dixie said about the park idea. Before leaving us, Dixie found herself to be a smart caller, since our host has been praising the higher than usual number of excellent female callers recently. "As they drop into the show, they disseminate their information, it's a different mentality we get from the female callers", said the Uncle before speaking to an unidentified lady caller. "Hey Uncle Henry", said following caller Tim, now known by more folks as local businessman and guest Mobile City Council speaker Sam Marston IV. "I saw you in the newspaper again", said the Uncle. "I was over in Baldwin County thinking of you", said Tim, who was near a Wal-Mart store. "Is this the ladies' hour?" Tim asked. "No, we're not doing the ladies' hour this month", the Uncle answered. Before Tim left us in time for commercials, our host told him to "look for yourself in the Press-Register" newspaper. After the break, the "William Tell Overture" was used as bumper music. "It's 9:22, we have news coming up. Mike Sloan news coming up", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller. "I know Friday I was accused of saying too much", said K. P., who claims he got his training from the "Lillian Jackson School of Mike", a reference to the late community activist. K. P. gives mention to two small publications in Mobile, including the news pamphlet Lagniappe. "I would encourage everyone to get the latest issue", K. P. said about Lagniappe. "The other little magazine, Current, I think possibly put out by the Press-Register, is getting better", said K. P. "Now, I contain that Mobile have another feature: clay eaters", he suggested. "We haven't heard anything about clay eaters in 2 years", said the Uncle. "I need-yeah, I probably need to get these Lagniappe people back in", said the Uncle, who was referring to Lagniappe editors Rob Holbert and Ashley Toland. "Good morning, Uncle Henry", said our next caller Elvin, who can "visualize that 50-plot lot" in downtown Mobile like an architect. "Yeah, a lot of people (except Sam Jones, mayor of Mobile) in that Waffle House group have not faired well", the Uncle said in response to our last caller for the half-hour. "(251) 479-2723 is the number. Time for the news", said the Uncle before the break.

"Uncle Henry Show continues. (251) 479-2723 is the number", said the Uncle, who finds the news of the empty lot in downtown Mobile "interesting", as plans for a new park are "not a done deal" according to the Michael P. Sloan newsbreak. "I'm not really aware what the fire protection is in Theodore", the Uncle admitted to one caller, but hopes someone informs him about the Mobile County town's situation. "Well, we could have a Mobile Corrections museum and it could have a jail full of politicians on site", the Uncle suggested to caller Greg. "We could fill it up immediately!" Greg responded. "Roll Tide, Uncle Henry!" said our next caller Lee. "How about a Lowes?" Lee suggested for the downtown lot, "Can you imagine a home improvement warehouse next to Government Plaza?" "It will all be next door, Uncle Henry", said Lee before leaving us. "Hey good morning, Uncle Henry", said our next caller John. " I just tuned into the show and I just talked to your call screener", he said before mentioning a celebration of the addition of new fireboats next to downtown Mobile. "I wonder what it costs for the city to do that to put that little show on", John asked about the celebration. "I wished I would have known about it", said the Uncle. "There's nothing that tastes better than a free hot dog", said John. "I just want to let your listeners know about it", he said before leaving some listeners and our host feeling hungry. "We are getting more e-mails than we normally get on a Monday", said the Uncle before reading listener Trip's electronic mail message titled "Green Space" and signed "Roll Tide, Trip". "Well, Roll Tide Roll! And Trip, I don't know what really you could do. Build it (the park) and they will come and if it'll be nice as the city says it would be coming, [they'll] be coming", said the Uncle. After the final break for today, "Uncle Henry Show continues. You want to know where all your money is going as a tax payer of the City of Mobile, certainly go through downtown", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Adam. Good morning, Adam", he said to our next caller. "I would enjoy being on for 8 hours", said the Uncle, who is capable of such airtime. "That would make my workday going faster", said Adam. "All right, Henry, Roll Tide!" said Adam before leaving us. "I have offered to the management here of working an 8-hour shift", said the Uncle. "What else I would be doing? I am at a certain age-I would be sitting around talking anyway", said the Uncle. "I volunteer for doing all the live programming here", said the Uncle, who would volunteer speaking to "the Snake" Kenneth Stabler, co-host of the afternoon syndicated radio program "The Ultimate Sports Show". "This is my first time calling you", said our next caller Gene, who just moved into the City of Mobile and listens to the show a lot. "All they have is five people actually tending to the trees in the City of Mobile", said Gene, who mentioned that his wife "travels to work". "The pilots, they call this city 'the city of trees' ", said Gene. "Did you talk to these people admitting that the trees are dying?" the Uncle asked. "Please call again and thank you for that tidbit", said the Uncle, who believes the news of oak trees dying in Mobile will be big due to some folks' tendency to love trees more than other people. "Have a wonderful rest of the day", the Uncle said at the end of today's show.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continuing on this beautiful Friday. (251) 479-2723 is the number", said the Uncle. In response to a voice message played beforehand, "Warren, I agree with you about the shirt tale. I tuck, I never work with my shirt tale out", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Paula. Hello Paula", he said to the caller. "You said a phrase that got me kind of laughing. You said your eyes are drawn to the printed word", said Paula, who sponsored a scholarship pageant a few years ago. "This young lady, I'll call Betty", said Paula. "When she turned to walk back", Paul recalls, a bow was sighted on her "beautiful behind". "A young lady is never suppose to accent her behind", Paula recalls another pageant worker of saying. "I don't think we should ever have a law dealing with clothing and the reason is because time changes", said Paula. "I feel like is if you go a job interview, there is a certain protocol", said Paula. "People should be conscious of knowing that you have to have a front end appearance, because the first impression is the last impression", said Paula before leaving us. "That was well said and fascinating", said the Uncle, who is now wondering "what other tricks" folks have to draw the eyes to a certain body part. "You know, a normal-normal male between whatever ever age" is going to being tempted, according to our next caller Bill. "You're going to look when you're suppose to resist the temptation, but human nature is going to be a normal male", Bill explained. "Now first of all, you should be not speculating on whether I'm turned on or not", said the Uncle, who added that Bill should not even be thinking of that. "The point is whether or not a male should be looking", said the Uncle. "You should never be thinking of my testosterone level!" said the Uncle, causing Bill to hang up. As for the term "turned on", "I resent that type of slang", said the Uncle. "All right, let's talk to Ron", he said to our next caller, who wants a "new start" for the rest of the show, beginning with a shout of "Roll Tide!" "I think you are wrong about Scott O'Brien being a teenager", said Ron, who considers the radio station's program director to be a "nutcase" and "ultra liberal". "The reason Sam Jones' middle initial has got to be a 'T' '', said Ron, is that the mayor of Mobile is a "trickster" to the residents of West Mobile before an annexation vote. "Who is Sam Jones tricking?" the Uncle asked Ron, who answered with West Mobile residents in mind. "The people is just not smart enough about what's going", said Ron. "It's just a political gain", he said about bringing western areas in the City of Mobile. "You said he's promising things that they are thinking they are not (actually) getting", said the Uncle. "I'm not saying they are stupid", said Ron. After the previous caller Bill, "I'm still dealing with the emotional impact", said the Uncle. Our host disagrees with the idea of folks in district A of West Mobile being "easy to trick" by the mayor of Mobile. "Whether or not it's true, they are seeking the benefits of joining the city", said the Uncle. "Yeah, if I can apologize for not understanding, I apologize", said the Uncle, who again told Ron about his "emotional tizzy" due to Bill's call. After the break, the theme music to the TV series "Superman: The Animated Series" was used as bumper music. "Let's talk to Freddie. Hello Freddie", said the Uncle. Our caller will try to get over the mention of "cleavage and buttocks and bows" on today's show in order to discuss the overnight radio program "Coast to Coast AM". "What I really called for, there is a gentleman is Canada who sends some dog food products that killed", said Freddie, who compared this action to the charges against football player Michael Vick. "I'm not siding with [anyone], Uncle Henry", said Freddie. "You're defending Michael Vick", said the Uncle. "You don't think we should pay attention to the Michael Vick story at all", our host believes Freddie is saying. "Try to bring your show back. Do you have a Jimmy Swaggart, one of his moments", Freddie asked. After Freddie left us, "As usual, just painfully nonsensical", said the Uncle. "So, as much as you don't like it, it doesn't change the facts of the Michael Vick case", said the Uncle. "Good morning, I want to talk a bit about the annexation", said our next caller, who first wanted to asked, "Freddie, Freddie, what has gone to you?" "We need a buffoon tax force", the caller suggested. "With all the money we spend in schools now for public education, we just need to find out what's going on with the buffoon task force", said the caller. "As far as I know, the teachers and the students stand to make a whole bunch of money on this annexation", said the caller. "Anyway, keep up the good work, Uncle Henry, and Roll Tide", he said before leaving us. "I don't know if that was quite done in one breath, but you crammed the lot", said the Uncle. "More show coming up", our host said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues. We have news coming again in about 25 minutes from Mike Sloan", said the Uncle, all ready anticipating the radio station's next newsbreak. "Good morning, John!" he said to our next caller. "Have you seen the mayor's letter on the City of Mobile website?" John asked our host before reading the letter for other folks previously unaware of the letter. "The bottom line is you actually save money and get more for your dollar" is John's favorite part of the letter. "I thought that line was interesting", he said. "And you know why he's saying that?" the Uncle asked. "Do you think they will ever consider lowering our property or sales tax in the City of Mobile?" John asked. "No", the Uncle answered. "I didn't think so", said John. "What would be the reason if I were the manager of Wal-Mart that I would vote for annexation?" John asked. "You have to live there (in West Mobile) to vote on that", said the Uncle. "That's interesting. That's interesting right there", said John. "After you read, they have a link there on the special annexation election dot com", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to the Tax Man! Good morning, Tax Man!" said the Uncle. "We've had a good news week and we have four city council members locked into file", said Jim, describing his week. "And I bought my mama a washing machine at the mall", said Jim, who was able to pay the sales tax. "I'm paying taxes for the City of Mobile so that I can call in and criticize", said Jim. "Next week, I've got my cannons all readied out", said Jim. "We've got another 30 days before BayFest", said Jim. "Let's just relax and have a good weekend and pray for everybody", said Jim before leaving us. Like our caller, the Uncle looks forward to Ashley Toland's city council report in next week's Lagniappe news pamphlet. After our next caller, "Yes, it's um, they are not happy, the Chinese government, because they want the money to continue to flow in", the Uncle said about products made in China. "Good morning, Uncle Henry", said our next caller Ann, who believes "we are dealing with a sub culture that has come out of the prisons". "You see these kids walking around with these pants run up", said Ann. Such cultural trends, according to Ann, "they started back in the late 70s and early 80s" before today's children were born. Our caller seems to recall last year's BayFest music festival, including the midnight hours. "And it's midnight and all the hookers come out into the street", said Ann. "This is news to me", said the Uncle, "I thought all the hookers were moved out of Mobile and into Theodore". "Good luck, Uncle Henry, I love you", said Ann before leaving us. "I was told all the prostitutes were moved out of Mobile and into the county", said the Uncle. "I thought they had all of that under control. I'm shocked by this", said the Uncle before speaking to caller Jimmy. "This is discerning news. The principal at Shaw High School and David Thomas (former Mobile County Public School System member) were sleeping together", said Jimmy. Our host has no idea what Jimmy is talking about. "Thanks for listening to your show, but I don't know what to say in response to that", said the Uncle. Along with some confirmation, our host suggests that callers such as Jimmy "please try to use some discretion when discussing something like that". After the final break for today and a voice message, "That was a classic", our next caller said about the bumper music used "to bring peace" into the world. "It was beautiful", said the Uncle. "Have you noticed that, of course, if the annexation vote passes, especially in annexation area A, that area is especially poor", said the caller, taxes will go up. Sales tax is "going to go from 7 and a half to 10%" at a McDonald's restaurant, according to the caller. "That was the last thing I want to read is a city council member wanting to change the Constitution", said the Uncle after our caller mentioned Fredrick Richardson's suggestion to revisit "the right to bare arms" in the Constitution of the United States. "I'm sure they were trying to be diplomatic or anything, but they were [simply] disrespectful", our next caller Norman said about the Mobile City Council during Tuesday's meeting with their guest Sam Marston IV, better known to the Uncle's listeners as Tim. "You know, yesterday, I finally listened to the show after a couple of days", said Norman, who found some "valid points" in yesterday's callers who don't usually call in. "We just appreciate you, Uncle Henry, of what to do", said Norman. "Why not do something bold and drop the taxes. Go ahead and market the city as having the lowest taxes in the state of Alabama", said the Uncle. "We have the opinion, the philosophy-- several members of the city council say that sales tax doesn't work", said the Uncle. "Watch how they act when dealing with their own budget", the Uncle said about the Mobile City Council. Before leaving us, our host wished the McDonald's Big Mac sandwich a happy 40th birthday and mentioned that the 89-year-old inventor of the sandwich is still alive. He also mentioned the Big Mac museum in Pennsylvania.

"Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you for continuing to listen 9 minutes-it's 9 minutes after 9:00", said the Uncle. "TV anchors, I think most of them are under contract", he said in response to a voice message with questions. "Let's talk to-is this Theresa?" he asked the caller, who was listening to Monday's show with our host's conversation with Sam Jones, mayor of Mobile. "Did you hear anything about the federal law?" she asked about the law to annex areas such as West Mobile. "I believe he said they had to go through the justice department", said the Uncle. "To me, it looks like political rape and you can continue to say no, no", said Theresa. "It sounds like rape to me", she added. "On removing advertisements of the casinos and the lottery from Alabama", said Theresa, who reminded our host about the state voting such things. "The Lord says those who are kind to animals will live a long time", said Theresa, comparing Scripture to electing public officials. "I never even heard anyone talk about the banning of advertisements", said the Uncle, especially the way Theresa said it. "This is the third woman that's called with strong comments", said the Uncle after the caller following Theresa. "A couple of things, I was listening to the late night talk show", said our next caller, who heard a caller who "spent 30 years in state prison". "Getting some odd calls today, aren't we? 479-and by odd, I mean by the range of subjects being brought up. Very unusual", said the Uncle. "When they incorporate the City of Mobile, citizens are going to have complaints that are very surprising", caller George said about West Mobile annexation. "I watched a lot of the meetings of the early Dow administration", said the Uncle, who believes other guests were treated much worse compared to regular caller Tim at Tuesday's meetings. "Things, they've mellowed out. I know it's hard to imagine. The treatment of the citizenry", said the Uncle. "The Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710", he said before the break for commercials. "Uncle Henry Show continues on this beautiful Thursday. (251) 479-2723 is the number", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Carolyn. "Another lady on the show", he said before Carolyn responded to a previous call by Theresa. "I think she should put one more thing on her list to ban", said Carolyn, who wants to ban "male enhancement" drug commercials from airing "every 20 to 30 minutes". "What is that that makes people so happy?" is the question asked by a boy 11 years of age, according to Carolyn. "They don't need to saturate the television", she said. "They were singing the 'Viva Viagra', I know what you are saying", the Uncle said about a radio commercial. "I believe in the way things should be. I believe in it", said Carolyn. "The thing is like she said over advertisement and everybody knows where they can get their medication now", said Carolyn. "They don't need such a thing when they're young", she said about young folks. "These people that take this medication and go around and look for someone to enjoy it with them. Well, this has gone too far", said Carolyn, who suggests writing letters to "calm the TV set down" with these advertisements. "Thank you so much. Carolyn, outstanding phone call", said the Uncle. "I never brought it up, Carolyn, because I don't like to discuss such matters on the Uncle Henry Show", he admitted. "The biggest advocate for the Viagra commercials a female. A female here in this building was just the biggest advocate for the Viagra commercials", said the Uncle. "I'm in your corner", he said. "The Uncle Henry Show progressing. Getting some of the most interesting comments of all time as women take over the calls", the Uncle said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues", said the Uncle, who is nearing the end of his recording of yesterday's Mobile City Council meeting concerning the singer Ludacris performing at Mobile's annual music festival BayFest. "Let's continue with the Connie Hudson comments as we wrap this up", he said before the playing of the audio featuring the city council member mentioned. "All right, that was an outstanding job by Tim", said the Uncle, who believes "the council did not get what Tim was talking about". "The issue is you're giving money in this man's pocket", the Uncle interprets regular caller Tim's speech. "You're calling him a great act! He's a great act!" the Uncle said to the city council. "By the way, Clinton Johnson, I would love to go you as a priest", he said to one council member. "These problems that we're dealing with everyday with these young people, a lot of what they're learning comes from people like Ludacris", said the Uncle. "Ludacris has made a lot of money on this song and it goes as follows", he said before again reading the lyrics of a Ludacris song with self-censorship. "It's all about pumping bullets in people", said the Uncle. "Song after song after song after song and why you have problems in the streets? It's because people are learning it from somewhere", said the Uncle. "We'll get into your phone calls as the Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Go nowhere", the Uncle said before the break for commercials. "Uncle Henry Show continues", said the Uncle before speaking to caller David. "I think this whole Ludacris thing has stepped over. I have to bring into question this whole BayFest thing period", said David. "Uncle Henry, the venues are just too small for those crowds. There are not enough available services down there", said David. "I'm glad Tim got down there and spoke for the majority of us", said David, who put himself into this "majority" of folks. "Why do you need city money? You avoid the entire controversy", said the Uncle after David left us. "Why can't it just be private? Why does it have to have tax dollar?" he asked before speaking to caller George. "What I found kind of amusing was when (Fredrick) Richardson referred to a fictitious person I suppose", said George. "If you recall a few years back, we brought in a guy from North Carolina", said George. "He had a severe drinking problem", said George. "I could tell you one thing, Tim is a good speaker and I look forward to his many speeches to come", said George. "I thought he did a great thing", said the Uncle. "As long as you're right, you're right. You don't have to be the world's greatest orator", the Uncle said about Tim before speaking to caller Robert, who hopes West Mobile residents are listening to the show to "see how their future tax money, when they come in, is going to be spent". Robert compared Tim's treatment at the Mobile City Council to the late community activist Lillian Jackson. "They treated Tim basically the way they treated her with no respect at all", said Robert. "Just pay attention to the way these city council people are going to treat you", Robert said to West Mobile residents. "I say four of them are hardcore democrats. I don't know what Reggie Copeland is", said Robert. "I imagine when his new album comes out, he'll be right back with the dirty stuff", Robert said about Ludacris. "Maybe it'll be family friendly", our host supposes about Ludacris' BayFest performance. Our next caller was an audio prankster, who added sound effects covering up non-expletives. "Well, he hung up. I was enjoying that", said the Uncle. "That was someone apparently recording me reading Ludacris lyrics", said the Uncle. "We have several Uncle Henry Show callers who were there (at the city council) in support of Tim", said the Uncle. "I'll say this: people think that Tim wasn't treated well, I tell you that he was treated a lot well than people were [just] a few years ago", said the Uncle, who appreciates Reggie Copeland's interest in the speech.

After the break for news, commercials, and station promotions, "Uncle Henry Show continues on this very beautiful Wednesday. Let's talk to-I thought it was Terry. Let's talk to Ray", said the Uncle. "You know, I think the one of the news programs was talking to some fellow from the Baldwin County schools", said Ray, who finds the fellow's comment on other state's school laws to be "a bold face lie". "They just started school in the Florida panhandle because they have to start school no later than two weeks before Labor Day", said the Uncle. "I say it's a bold face lie what he said", said Ray. "There are other states that have the Labor Day law", said the Uncle. "I just think it's ridiculous that they just want to start on what is now the beginning of August", Ray said about the school year. "Let's talk to Freddie. Good morning, Freddie", the Uncle said to our next caller. "I'll give you my opinion of Tim's 5 minutes of fame", said Freddie after a long, if understandable rant about our host's treatment of yesterday's call about Saraland, Alabama. "We can solve all of this by not giving any amount of tax dollar to BayFest and from what I understand is very successful", said the Uncle. "When you use tax money on it, you make it public filth", said the Uncle before speaking to caller Patrick, who understands why Sunday is the Sabbath day. "Ok, now concerning BayFest. Our problem is we're old people and we don't go to BayFest", said Patrick. "For all of you that are listening over the age, say 55", said the Uncle before reading more song lyrics with self-censorship. "Now, I know I'm old, but I can understand what he's saying here", said the Uncle. "So I understand he's shot a man twice, his brains are hanging out", he said. "People-young people, you need to understand this", said the Uncle. "People are the same today they've always been", he explained. "Bang, bang, kill a man, I know exactly what that means!" said the Uncle. "All right, let's go to Jerry. Good morning, Jerry", he said to our next caller. "Just a quick comment", said Jerry. "There may be a generation gap certainly, however, we know what is vulgarity", said Jerry. "What I called about here real quick and you may have all ready touched on the subject", said Jerry, who wants to talk about police upholding the law when dealing with immigrants. "I appreciate you listening. Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710", the Uncle said before the final break for today. "Uncle Henry Show continues. Let's talk to Terry. Hello Terry", said the Uncle. "You know, my dad was a minister. He's gone and he passed way", said Terry, who has moved forward in life. "But what that minister (Clinton Johnson) said was something wrong", said Terry. "I know he's on the contract and that means he's not going to use those [kind] of lyrics", Terry said about Ludacris. "If BayFest is put on by a private organization, someone needs to change the organization", said Terry. "Terry, I want to thank you for your phone call. I will try to squeeze one more call in", said the Uncle before our next caller Zack. "The element is that a big person like him attracts", Zack said about Ludacris. "Thank you for listening. We have 'Ask the Expert' coming up after the news!" said the Uncle. "If you're in doubt of what to do. Read the pages of your Bible", he said at the end of today's show.

Notes of Interest:

Folks, regular caller Tim's appearance at the Mobile City Council got the attention of both the Press-Register and NBC affiliate WPMI-TV in Mobile. His true name was revealed to be Sam Marston IV, but only the newspaper mentioned his nickname. He was identified by WPMI-TV as a "Mobile Businessman".

As of this Monday, Birmingham, Alabama radio personalities Rick Burgess and William "Bubba" Bussey are back on the Mobile radio airwaves via WYOK-FM, a station with a format of country music. It is licensed to Atmore, Alabama, but its signal comes from Baldwin County east of Mobile Bay. "The Rick & Bubba Show" had a previous home in the Mobile region, WYCL-FM, which stopped carrying the show in favor of its own morning program in addition to its format of music from the 1970s and 1980s. After the WYCL-FM departure, the only option for Mobile residents was the TV simulcast of "The Rick & Bubba Show" on the cable/satellite channel Turner South. Due to the sale of Turner South and plans to transform it into SportsSouth, the simulcast was cancelled and Mobile was without the show until this past Monday. "The Rick & Bubba Show" airs live weekdays from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Good day!

We start off today's show with…


"Thank you for continuing to listen to the Uncle Henry Show here on NewsRadio 710", the Uncle said to his audience from the first hour of the show. "We've had some really good calls in the last segment, didn't we?" he asked his audience. "In America, particular the United States of America", said the Uncle, folks can defend the hunting of alligators without the fear of being "carted off". "I was just driving along and I heard Freddie and Jerry", said our next caller Lee, who had the idea of political differences being discussed between the callers. "We heard the difference between success and failure, happiness and sadness", said the Uncle. "You're influenced by your background, by the way you were raised", said Lee, who wishes others would agree that the person raised is ultimately responsible. "This is Sanford in Saraland", said the next caller, who attended his city's council meeting last night. "All right, it's been fascinating. I've always enjoyed small town news", said the Uncle, who encouraged Sanford to report from the city council again someday. "The phone rang and rang, I don't know if everybody else is that way too", said our next caller Norman, who described his call-in experience. He heard yesterday's program featuring our host's conversation with Sam Jones, mayor of Mobile, but believes the mayor didn't really say anything. "Did you see on the front page of the newspaper something-the reason that lawyers have a bad name, this defender of this guy-the lawyer said the man's crime of beating a woman with a board was only man slaughter", said Norman. "This is just sickening. It makes me sick", Norman said about the "mess" that is the newspaper story. "You don't want to hear that graphic description or read it", said Norman, who compared the news description to "garbage" such as the cable/satellite TV channels Showtime and the Home Box Office. "You can't watch the local news anymore", Norman added. "They don't want you know what's going on, apparently", said Norman, who believes "you have to go to Uncle Henry for the low down". Our host mentioned caller Sanford's city council report for example of "the low down" his show offers. "I would like to be on the lookout for any positive thing a democrat has said about the United States since 2001", said our next caller. "I'm searching the hallways, the highways, and the byways", he said before leaving us. "They're talking so much, something positive must slip by every now and then", said the Uncle. Before the break for commercials, our host hesitated before saying the wrong call sign for the radio station formerly known as WKRG and WPMI. He chose the more recent WPMI call sign for 710 AM. After the break and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. NewsRadio 710. News coming up in about 10 minutes", said the Uncle. "Greetings from Ludacris, Alabama", said our next caller C. J., who shared his experience from the panhandle of Florida. "It was jammed packed and they were having a gun and knife show", said C. J. "All the tags were from Mobile and Baldwin County", said C. J. "I want to let people know that I want to call myself a conservative-I mean a liberal. I've always been a conservative", said C. J. "I hear so many people who call themselves, brag about themselves being conservatives", said C. J. "People are more disengaged than ever before. They are involved in their own personal entertainment", said the Uncle. "You can blow up all the houses around them and they wouldn't care", our host added. "Moral decay when it comes to the Bible Belt", said C. J. "Thank God we didn't get that hurricane", he said before leaving us. "When I say young people, I say people under the age of 30 and I was pleasantly surprised how many conservatives are under the age of 30", said the Uncle. "So to me, the toughest conservatives I've ever met are female", our host admitted. "They don't want their tax money wasted, they're pro-life", he described them. "Well I'm encouraged. I'm encouraged by the people coming up, these young women", the Uncle said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues on this wonderful Tuesday", said the Uncle. "Uncle Henry, how are you doing this morning?" said Maurice, whose voice was recognized by our host. "I don't think it's fair for anybody to say any conservative is not", said Maurice, who believes "anybody has some conservative" in them. "I am going to say this though: I was in Mobile Terrance this past weekend and I saw something that shocked me", said Maurice, who was shocked to see a fellow and his outhouse. "I saw all these [pipes] going around this man's yard", said Maurice. "Do you think this is the only outhouse in Mobile Terrace?" the Uncle asked. "Just provide some type of assistance for indoor plumbing" is Maurice's hope for this fellow. "It's been a long time since I've seen one", the Uncle said about outhouses. "This would make a fascinating news story at news time", he said after suggesting that WKRG-TV5 does a "community coverage" report on the outhouse by sending reporter Kimberly Curth to Mobile Terrace. "I was listening to you all at 8 o'clock. Why is picking up your garbage such a big deal?" said "The Idea Guy", whose voice was also recognized by our host. "He comes to the back of my house on my deck to pick up my garbage", "Idea" said about a fellow hired to pick up garbage. Our caller wonders why not privatize garbage service. "Idea" suggests that we read an article in the magazine Forbes. "A girl in medical school researched Al Gore's movie and found all the faults in it", "Idea" said about the article. "I've getting over it and I have aches and pains, but when you're out in the heat, you have to move on", said our next caller, who reminded folks they have two choices on how their day will be after waking up. "Good morning, Uncle Henry. It's Joe calling", said our next caller. "We don't live in the incorporated area. We are required by law to purchase garbage service from the county", said Joe. "The reason I'm calling is in the previous hour the caller mentioned the anchor baby", said Joe, referring to a phrase in Amendment 14 of the USA's Constitution granting "automatic" citizenship. Before the final break for today, "That is not an unfair suggestion that the baby gets the citizenship of the (immigrant) mother", our host believes. After the break and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues", said the Uncle. "Back to the telephones!" he said before the next caller joined us on the air. "Hello! Yes! You! Sir! Hello!" the Uncle said to our next caller. "Is this Uncle Henry?" the caller asked before hanging up. "The pressures of speaking on the air", said the Uncle, who understands why the fellow hang up. "Sir, anytime you want to come up to the pressure and try again", said the Uncle. "We have this young man who plays for the University of Alabama arrested for disorderly conduct", said the Uncle. "So he was just horsing around", said the Uncle, according to the fellow's mama. "Horse play, what is horse play? Horse play is rowdy or rough play", said the Uncle, now speaking directly to young listeners "being forced to listen" by an older person. "When you're in the position of a mature person", said the Uncle, no more horse play. "We and when I say we, I mean me, Trey Lane, Michael P. Sloan, Scott O'Brien, all the other disc jockeys up here", said the Uncle, are prohibited from rough play. "This mama can be upset as she can be", said the Uncle. "Don't let your friends talk you into rough play, because this rowdy rough play can lead" into all sorts of trouble, said the Uncle. "I know Bear Bryant would never be in favor of rough play!" he shouted. Before leaving us, our host mentioned the upcoming discussion of satellite TV on the radio program "Ask the Expert" following today's show.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you for continuing to listen and thank you caller for all I've been saying all along", said the Uncle, who was also responding to a voice message. "When it's 96 and you walk outside, that's what 96 feels like", he added. "I don't think I've ever felt 110", our host believes. "Let's talk to Sherry. Good morning, Sherry", he said to our next caller. "Hi", she said before responding to a previous caller, who talked about young students serving themselves food during the show's first hour. "I'm sure you have to have close supervision if you have a child-a kindergarten age child" handling food in school, said the Uncle. "How's it going, George?" the Uncle asked our next caller, who expressed outrage toward folks cleaning up after others before abruptly ending his call. "I think if you make a mess, you should be responsible cleaning your own mess", said the Uncle. "Good morning, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up", said Brent, who first asked our host if he receives the Disney Channel before mentioning the local connection to the new animated cartoon series "Phineas and Ferb". Our host has the satellite service DirecTV. "I don't get the channels with the people that are naked", said the Uncle. "What's the cartoon about?" the Uncle asked. "Are they like mouses", he asked about the characters, who are actually human. Our host asked if the show has moments of burping and flatulence. "Maybe burping, but no flatulence", said Brent. "The little kids love it", said Brent, who mentioned the show having a roller coaster. Brent mentioned the movie "High School Musical 2", which will lead into "Phineas and Ferb" tonight on the Disney Channel. "Is this one of those movies, the high school musical, where all the actors are like 27?" the Uncle asked. Upon learning of the show's creator's previous work with shows such as "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy", "Well that's going to be awful!" said the Uncle. Brent assured our host the show would appeal to all audiences. Before leaving us, Brent revealed the name of "Phineas and Ferb" co-creator and former local resident Dan Povenmire. "The stuff they put on for kids, a lot of it I can't understand", said the Uncle. "Mickey Mouse, I understood that", said the Uncle, but not some of today's animated cartoons. "Just like these books they put out for children, the Captain Underpants, bathroom humor", said the Uncle. "Bugs Bunny didn't have it, children watch it today and enjoy it just like the children of yesteryear", said the Uncle. "It's just a copout", he said about "bathroom humor" before speaking to the next caller, who agreed with our host's negative view of "The Simpson" before mentioning singer Ludacris in the same sentence. "The Uncle Henry Show proceeding forward. It is 9:19", the Uncle said before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues on this Friday. (251) 479-2723 is the number. More news coming up in less than 10 minutes. That was a pretty good poem", said the Uncle, who requests that listener Crockett doesn't put him and the Beatles together. "I don't want people to get the wrong idea about me and the Beatles being the same-someway, somehow in the same anything", he said. "If you tuned in late, I want to let you know that we have Mayor Sam Jones scheduled to be here in the studio", said the Uncle. "They have heard some things on this show that are inaccurate about the annexation topic", he said about the mayor's office, which asked for the interview. "He has agreed to give us 30 minutes Monday. He will take phone calls", said the Uncle. "I'm very much looking forward to that", said the Uncle, who remembers his last on-air conversation with the mayor, who requested no phone calls before Mobile's last mayoral election. "They've summoned Scott O'Brien down to Mobile County Metro (Jail) and they want him to meet Sam Jones and a city attorney so that the city attorney and Sam Jones can teach Scott O'Brien about annexation", said the Uncle. "So Scott O'Brien has been deemed inconsequential enough to be invited to Sam Jones' war room", said the Uncle, who was not aware of the room's existence. "I didn't know there was a flip side to the whole 'love thy neighbor' thing", said the Uncle, who remembers the mayor's "love thy neighbor" plan. "The next day, we'll get the find out what Scott O'Brien has been taught", the Uncle said about next Tuesday's show. "Are there pictures on the walls?" he might ask Scott. "All kind of great questions about the war room", he said before speaking to caller Chuck. "He's probably going to wind up like the 'Manchurian Candidate' ", said Chuck. "Thank you for the reference to the original 'Manchurian Candidate' ", said the Uncle, who has the original movie on video among his few movies at home. "It is a worthy rental for your weekend, the original 'Manchurian Candidate' with Frank Sinatra", said the Uncle, who considers Angela Lansbury's performance in the movie to be underrated.

"Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710", said the Uncle, who all ready looks forward to the Michael P. Sloan newsbreak after the show. "Well there is Wal-Mart news today", said the Uncle. "The news story today, according to the Wall Street Journey", said the Uncle, is Wal-Mart is considering the idea of building stores "less than a tenth of a size of a Super Wal-Mart". "They may be able to get into some communities", said the Uncle, though he wonders about negative reaction. "It seems like they can do this whatever they set their mind to", said the Uncle. "There is a group of rock singers called the Eagles and they were very successful during the 1970s", said the Uncle. "It's been 28 years since they've been into a studio to record an album and they are still played everyday on the radio", said the Uncle, who brought to our attention a new set of recordings by the Eagles. "What I find interesting about it", said the Uncle, is that "you will only be able to buy the new Eagles album at Wal-Mart". "That's right, Wal-Mart and the Eagles together", said the Uncle, who mentioned the online alternative to purchasing the album. "That is an usual paring in my opinion", he said. "I just find it shocking that they would find Wal-Mart to be their outlet", our host admits. "Let's talk to Barry. Good morning, Barry", the Uncle said our next caller, who was reminded of our host's enjoyment of "The Andy Griffith Show" before bringing to his attention the show's whistling theme song having lyrics. "You are the first man to use the word 'darling' to describe something other than his wife or girlfriend", said the Uncle. "I wonder if this new Eagles album is darling?" he asked himself. "Looking at the pictures of the Eagles and they have aged at different rates, as many of us do in life", said the Uncle. "Some of these guys look a little bit young", he said before speaking to our next caller Al, who asked if the new Wal-Mart stores will be smaller than the store on Azalea Road in Mobile. "Your final whirlwind segment of the week is next", the Uncle said before the final break for today. After the break, "Uncle Henry Show continues", said the Uncle. "A reminder that Sam Jones will be hear at 8:30 Monday morning", he said. "I don't want to forget that Tim, the long time voice mailer of the Uncle Henry Show, will be [going to] Mobile City Council", said the Uncle. "I believe they still show the Mobile City Council on Comcast", said the Uncle. "Crockett will attend the city council", said the Uncle, which means the listener will be using his vacation time again to attend a council meeting. "I don't recommend that you ever do that, but you have your own freewill", said the Uncle, who finds Crockett's reports "odd" compared to other media. "Well, I'm a retired teacher and I go to Mobile and Baldwin", said our next caller Ann, who believes that allowing students to serve themselves is a disgusting practice. "Well it's a kindergarten serving themselves. Are they serving (themselves) vegetables?" said the Uncle. "They can't serve themselves at home", said our next caller Norman. "It's a mess!" said Norman, nearly raising his voice. "I'm shocked they can hold up a plate and serve themselves", said the Uncle. "If you remember it, it was Hurricane Camille nearly 40 years ago today", said Norman. "Everybody needs to be careful. The day the hurricane comes here, get out of here", said Norman before leaving us. Our host wished "the unknown caller" best wishes after hearing a dial tone. "I encourage you to have a nice and safe weekend", the Uncle said to his audience before reminding us about the radio program "Ask the Expert" following his show.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues on this lovely Thursday. Thank you for continuing to listen", said the Uncle, who reminded listeners how to contact him telephonically and electronically. "I've got the e-mail box open during the show", he said before speaking to caller Chuck. "You don't put much thought into this space program, I understand", said Chuck, who is concerned about the space shuttle Endeavor and its crew, including one former school teacher. "I hope and pray it gets back in all right with that busted tile", said Chuck, who recalls what happened to the space shuttle Columbia in 2003. "Here in 1985, Ronald Reagan saw to it that we have a teacher in space", said Chuck, recalling another space shuttle event. "I'm with you, I'm on the same page as you, Chuck", said the Uncle. "Why are we still using these space crafts?" our host asked Chuck. "You're getting me started on it", he said. "I think they took a wild chance with another teacher", said Chuck. "It's like we're sending jalopies into space. Why are we doing this?" said the Uncle. "They have not sold me, every time we talk about this", said the Uncle. "Why don't we pursue being the best at-why don't we continue to send these things up-the things fall apart", said the Uncle. "As Chuck points out, here we put a teacher up there. For who knows what, I don't know", said the Uncle. "If we're going to send things up, get the best scientists", the Uncle suggested for the construction of a new spacecraft. "Hey there, Uncle Henry. I just wanted to respond to the caller a minute ago that said the City of Mobile should stop putting cars and police [over] in West Mobile", said Norman. "The last time I looked at numbers, it totaled out to $18 billion annually" in protection "over there", said Norman. "I'm glad you called in with that, Norman", said the Uncle. "The annexation thing's up in the air again", said our next caller after reading today's newspaper. "Again, there are few people that realize in the City of Mobile that minority districts control the city", our caller later said. "In today's paper there are a couple of great op-ed pieces", said the caller. "Excellent call, very, very interesting", said the Uncle before the break for commercials. After the break, "Uncle Henry Show continues on this very nice Thursday. We have news coming up in 10 minutes with Mike Sloan", said the Uncle before speaking to caller Tom. "I don't think there is a mayor of Tillman's Corner", said the Uncle. "I've seen two former strip malls headed out there", said Tom. "West Mobile has been talked about for years now, but I noticed some time ago Tillman's Corner was salivating", said the Uncle. "This is awful what Sam Jones is going to do [with] the people of West Mobile", said our next caller, a West Mobile resident. "We have in the past tried to get away and form our own city", said the caller. "We are here, the majority of us here think it's ridiculous", said the caller. "We don't want to be part of the power structure that controls Mobile", said the caller. Before leaving us, the caller felt sorry for folks who live in the city limits of Mobile. "You're talking about the difference between city taxes and county taxes", the Uncle said to our next caller. "Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the people who live in the jurisdiction get taxed", according to the Uncle. "Maybe I'm wrong about that, maybe it's all sales tax", he said after the previous caller left us. "How are you doing there, Henry?" our next caller Wayne asked. He wanted to talk about sales taxes. "So the people that live in West Mobile right now pay a 2% jurisdiction tax", said Wayne, who said if West Mobile becomes part of the city, the tax increases to 9%. "I've got a list of all the local sales tax rates", our host said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues. We have more news from Mike Sloan coming up in 25 minutes", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Norman. Hello Norman", he said to our next caller, the more frequent Norman, who was actually listening to the show's first hour to hear the story of an obscene jester made in front of a police officer being discussed again. "Well, everybody knows what that means. It's the sense of a society", said Norman. "I think we do have courtesy people around here. It's not just the youth, come on", said the Uncle. "It just makes me sick! They need to be teaching courtesy. They need to be teaching common courtesy", said Norman. "Anyhow, well I've got my 16 days until kickoff", said Norman. "Calm down, there are courteous people", said the Uncle. "You can find rude people all over the country and all over the world. Traveling to various parts in the country and I've run into extreme courtesy", said the Uncle. In New York, New York, "people were very courteous", our host remembers. "Don't blame it on different people for different reasons", said the Uncle. "You've got to look for the good", he reminded Norman. "I was headed south on North Main Street and I was passing the Circle K", said the Uncle, who was shocked to see two young fellows wear pants "all the way down" their underwear. "You can see their entire buttocks for they were covered with some under drawer", said the Uncle. "They were walking toward other teenagers who were dressed in school uniform", said the Uncle. "I need to get out more", said the Uncle, who has never seen this trend at stores such as Wal-Mart. "Just a few minutes ago you were talking about the space program", said our next caller, who believes our host has "shot himself in the foot" today. "I'm proud of what they did in the 1960s", said the Uncle, who still finds NASA ridiculous with space travel today. "Uncle Henry, they're not going to fall off over and over again", said our caller, controlling his laughter over the chance of space shuttle pieces falling off again. "You can disagree with me, but I'm right on this one", said the Uncle. "It's outdated technology. It's 26 years ago. You can drive a car that is 26 years ago", said the Uncle, who suggests giving NASA automobiles for the space program. After the final break for today, "All right, thank you very much. Outstanding", said the Uncle after listening to a voice message. "I mean how many ThyssenKrupps are we going to have for the school board to have enough money?" our next caller Tim asked. "They didn't just move out there on a whim, Henry", Tim said about West Mobile residents. "I wonder if they're going to bus these people in to give out $100 Wal-Mart gift certificates?" Tim asked. "I know we're going to have another gun buy back, but I just don't know where and when", said the Uncle. "It's going to be hot water down there at the city council", said Tim before leaving us. "Tim will be addressing the Mobile City Council next Tuesday", said the Uncle. "If you can find a homeless who works eight hours a day, you probably wouldn't find him homeless much longer", said our next caller Steve. "Give a break, anybody would give a hard days work in this country to get a sandwich", he said. Steve believes the police suspect who was in his neighborhood will be at BayFest, specifically the performance with Ludacris.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues on this beautiful Wednesday", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Henry. Hello Henry", he said to our next caller. "I called in to agree with you that it's all about the money", said Henry, who reminded our host about "the tea in Boston" being all about the money before the Revolutionary War in the early United States. "It's not about people anymore, everything seems to be about the money", said Henry. "What about Old Shell Road?" our caller asked as a regular traveler of the road in Mobile. "If they were to stick to the basics, we would have plenty of money", said the Uncle. "If you tell someone for a long time that you're for this and that, you will become that", said Henry. "This has been a taxing nation since it started", said Henry. "I can't disagree with anything you've been saying", said the Uncle. Our next caller's voice was recognized to be that of Milton Morrow. "I'm one of the people inside the city that don't want to see this annexation go through", Milton said about bringing areas of West Mobile into city limits. "Are you serious?" the Uncle asked. "I'm talking about the awful signs we put out in West Mobile talking about annexation", said Milton, reminding some observant listeners. No annexation "until we get the crime and everything down in the City of Mobile", according to Milton. "Mobile's going to get a little out of it (the proposed steel mill ThyssenKrupp in Mobile County) but not like Saraland and Satsuma", Milton said about a different subject. "Hey, very interesting call, Milton", said the Uncle. "I read an article in the paper a couple of days ago", said our next caller, who read about a man being responsible for rising temperatures around the world. "Well, there was a microbiologist who was up in the northern, northern parts of Alaska", said the caller, who watched a program on the Discovery Channel recently featuring this scientist. "Well Uncle Henry, these guys can't have it both ways", the caller said about global warming being natural and manmade. "Uncle Henry, I don't think they know what they are talking about", he said before leaving us. Our host shared with the audience his meeting with a former oceanographer for the Navy. "Yes!" he shouted after saying he met a scientist. "I decided to open up that can of warms of global warming", said the Uncle, who asked the scientist, "What do you think about the big argument in our culture right now about global warming?" "He said they were using state of the art equipment over 20 years ago to measure the temperatures of the ocean and the atmosphere", the Uncle remembers. Our host compared the scientist's work for the Navy to WKRG-TV5 meteorologists Alan Sealls and John Nodar's work for Mobile television viewers. "He said that technology-we're going to have more technological advances" in measuring temperatures, said the Uncle. "I appreciate him telling me that", our host said about the scientist before the break for commercials. After the break, the theme music to the TV program "Match Game" was used as bumper music. "Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710", said the Uncle before speaking to caller Gene, who happens to share the name of the former "Match Game" host Gene Rayburn. "Hey! Good morning, Uncle Henry", said Gene. "They're not going to solve the problem until they get their budget in line", Gene said about the City of Mobile. "They need to take and keep the capital improvements budget active rather than move [it]", said Gene. "They better their house in order-financial house in order", said Gene, who doesn't believe annexing West Mobile will work. "They just want to add more and more and it's something the politicians got to go in and say, 'Ok, this is the choice we got' ", said Gene. "Look at this country additive to credit anyway", said the Uncle. "Well look, I appreciate your phone call. I don't know how to comment on it", said the Uncle. Since the beginning of the city council form of government in Mobile, our host heard that "all the private public investment generated would eventually pay off". "We've got the cruise ship, that's a good thing, we've got the RSA Tower, we've got the waterfront convention", said the Uncle. Residents are "still waiting for their return that would like their streets repaved properly", said the Uncle. Our next caller Tim, a frequent one, mentioned the idea of a smoking ban. "Every call screener I've ever had has been a smoker. Every one of them", said the Uncle. "The problem I have is-you know, you think he's going to bust these people who smoke?" Tim asked about Steve Nodine, a Mobile County commissioner. "Maybe we can get Josh Bernstein (former WPMI-TV investigator) to take a vacation and come back to Mobile", the Uncle suggested. "Is West Mobile going to have to have a business improvement district", Tim asked. "Good morning, Uncle Henry", said our next caller. "There's a little-basically a house trailer set up where you go to-not the main airport, but the hanger", said the caller, who believes the trailer is a police precinct since police cars are parked by. "I've been really trying to watch my speed", said the caller, who "was doing a 40 this morning and I'm telling you that going to that high school over there is like" riding the proposed racetrack to be near Prichard, Alabama. "At school hours at about 7 o'clock, it's like the racetrack. You can get run over", he said before leaving us just in time for the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues. We have more news with Mike Sloan coming up in about 20 minutes", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Steve", he said before our next caller came on the air. "It's a done deal, the section A (of West Mobile) will vote yes", said Steve, who was quick in his words to use "golden goose" for West Mobile. "I know a lot of people don't want to join, but there is a time and place", said Steve. "Very, very interesting call", said the Uncle after Steve left us. "Uncle Henry, Roll Tide!" said our next caller, a proud gun owner who attends gun shows, but finds this past weekend's gun buyback program in Mobile stupid. "Sort of like taking a couple of sums of cocaine off the street", said the caller. "Now the other issue is about this text book, Uncle Henry", said the caller, who was talking about a controversial storybook available at a local school. "We can't have the school members and the adults and the authority deal with it. My understanding is that an official complaint was filed", said the caller. "Let's talk to Lee. Good morning, Lee", said the Uncle. Lee claims to know what happened to former regular caller Jack, who was mentioned in a voice message played after a commercial break. "I asked somebody, who is pretty informative, and he said Jack said he wanted to be with the good Lord", said Lee. "I wish they would call in and tell us how great it is to live in the City of Mobile", Lee suggested to residents of midtown Mobile. "Are you saying section A or section 8?" Lee asked about the West Mobile area, though he believes there is not much of the difference in what it's called. Our next caller Louis suggests that Jack speak before the Mobile City Council. "First, we have to find out if Jack is still with us if he wants to do that", said the Uncle. "These people they keep on-they keep on voting it down", our next caller Norman said about West Mobile residents and annexation. "Did you see where this college up there, they're trying to [start] this Christian fraternity", Norman mentioned after hearing the news story. "Are non-drinkers allowed to be in a fraternity?" the Uncle asked, though he's never heard of it before. "Look, I've got to run, Norman. I'm on a break", said the Uncle. After the final break for today, "Uncle Henry Show continues", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Jerry. Hello Jerry", said the Uncle. After Jerry left us, "I enjoy hearing-that's one of a favorite things about the shows: the eyes and ears of you", the Uncle said about listeners such as Jerry reporting about their local area. Our next caller was interested in some information about a suspected attacker who was on his street recently. "They do have a description at WKRG.com of that", said the Uncle, who was handed a press release by the newsreader Michael P. Sloan "making a rare" appearance during the show in progress. "What a hot outfit!" the Uncle said about the suspect's all black outfit. "That was from the police department", he said about the press release. "We have just a moment left in the show", said the Uncle, who used the moment to remind listeners how to leave a voice message. "Let's talk to Ronnie. Hello Ronnie", said the Uncle. "You were talking about the Christian fraternity", said Ronnie, who believes Auburn University has such a fraternity called TKL. "This is not joke", said Ronnie before revealing to our host that "Auburn has a fraternity called a farm house fraternity".

"You Guessed It..." - TV5 meteorologist Jene' Young
