Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you for continuing to listen to the Uncle Henry Show here on NewsRadio 710", said the Uncle. "I am a coupon collector, I believe that if you not clip the coupons, it's like leaving money on the ground", said the Uncle, who was responding to a voice message made by a listener. "To not clip the coupon is an outrageous thing", said the Uncle. "It says, '$100 in coupons' in today's paper and I could not find one in there", said the Uncle, who "spoke to a lady" in a conversation that lasted between 5 minutes to 10 minutes. "They brought me another newspaper about [1 hour] to 2 hours later", said the Uncle, who found coupons in this copy of the Sunday newspaper. "You had a previous caller on your voice mail that kind of beat me to the punch", said caller John. "You know when you are in school, let's say in middle school", said John, who used a school analogy for the show. "I think the students, in this case the listeners, remain constant", said John. "They just had a real fun time at your expense", John said about last week's substitute hosts Scott O'Brien, the radio station's program director and Charlie Moss, a radio reporter. "They did really have some good guests", said John. "They had a phone conversation with Jo Bonner", John mentioned, along with the Alabama congressman on the road (not driving) at the time. "Who has been your favorite mayor of Mobile?" John asked our host, since he remembers hearing about local government on the radio as a child. "I guess kids were more tuned into local politics", said John, who believes children today could "care less about politics" and more "about the next video game". Lambert Mills, former mayor of Mobile is recalled by our host. "I just enjoy his personality and enjoyed listening to him", said the Uncle. "We had scandal during their watch", the Uncle remembers from years ago, including "the big auditorium scandal". Mike Dow, "I disagreed with him on numerous things", he said about the previous mayor of Mobile. "But you've got to admit that the guy worked really hard", he added about Mike Dow. Arthur Outlaw, "He was a nice guy", said the Uncle. "Most politicians are either likable on a personal level or have people with them that are likable on a personal level", said the Uncle. "As time passed, John, I try not to develop personal relationships with any one of them", said the Uncle. "When somebody you think is a wonderful person has been [involved] in the biggest scandal in the history of the city", said the Uncle, explaining why he doesn't develop relationships with former local government officials. Our next caller Norman was informed about his recorded message getting played during "Mobile's First News" before today's show. "The one about the lethal injections?" Norman asked about the message. "Right on target", said the Uncle. "What the other callers were talking about-you know, Scott O'Brien and all those other liberals running when you're not there", said Norman. "If something happens and [it] just offends their sensibility", Norman explained. "I hope everybody-Alabama is going to be playing LSU this weekend", said Norman, who was referring to the college football teams from Alabama and Louisiana. "I lost Norman there, perhaps his cell phone battery went dead or something", said the Uncle, who remembers a time when cellular phones were nothing to worry about. After the first break for commercials, "Uncle Henry Show continues. More news from Mike Sloan coming up in about 10 minutes", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Tim, known outside the show as Sam Marston IV. "I was reading about this meth lab", said Tim before responding to Scott O'Brien's early mention of a new government building proposed for Mobile County. "I think it's suppose to have sails or something. Maybe to appease the architecture review board and all that mess", said Tim. "How can any building be criticized when it's next to Government Plaza?" our host asked, comparing the proposed building's design to one considered to be "ugly". "I don't like the sound of any of that", said the Uncle after hearing Tim share his story about Mobile's previous mayor and dogs. "I didn't know Mike Dow was a dog person. That's a wonderful thing", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Paul. "I called you on a couple of things-I hate to put it on the e-mail", said Paul, who actually meant to say our host's answering machine. "I was in the Guard with everything happened to Mobile", said Paul, whose only clarification of this flashback was "in the early war years". "Paul mentioned the voice mail", said the Uncle, aware of our caller's error.

"Uncle Henry Show continues on this beautiful, beautiful Monday", said the Uncle, who anticipates today's edition of the radio program "Ask the Expert" following today's show. "I have a question. All right, they are grilling Arnold Schwarzenegger on smoking pot", said the caller. "You think he's going to get kicked out of office?" our host asked before mentioning the assumption that marijuana is loved in California. "I have friends who smoke", said the caller. "All right, yes, thank you very much", said the Uncle. "Marijuana it-it rocks the brain. It clearly rocks the brain. I don't think anybody would dispute it rocks the brain", said the Uncle. "All these people on meth-don't you know the meth people love their marijuana? But I don't think Arnold Schwarzenegger will [get] kicked out off office in California", said the Uncle. "The people in this country are awash in marijuana!" said the Uncle, who believes you can't go 10 miles without the presence of marijuana. "Back in those days, I was about 22 or 21 just getting out of the Army", said our next caller, who remembers automobile inspections taking place in the Mobile region. "It was like a three-ring circus up there", said the caller, who was referring to city government during the Joseph Langan mayoral years. "I'm going to assume that you're now heading-going back down", said the Uncle before speaking to C. J. "I laughed myself after the two previous callers", said C. J. "Now this is pretty easy for you now", our host told C. J., who was controlling his laughter. "What is the problem with the article in today's Register", C. J. asked. "Today's show has been off the charts. Off the charts", said C. J., still controlling his laughter before leaving us. Our next caller visited "The House of Horrors" in Mobile with his grandchild. "It was put [on] by a church, actually", said Steve. "It's a little strong for young children", said Steve, who believes older children will stand for the later parts of the attraction. "As far as the haunted house part, I thought it was very good", said Steve, who finds the attraction good for general audiences ("family oriented"), as it had no profanity or nudity. After the final break for today and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. Sounds very flattering that someone would call me from their honeymoon. That's one that really loves this show", said the Uncle after listening to the recorded message. "That is very strange, isn't it?" the Uncle asked our next caller, who likes to hear our host say it's a great day in the City of Mobile. "Listen, you're an asset to broadcasting and to this city, buddy", said the caller. When our host drives through Mississippi, "I find it very disconcerting, just very quick there", said the Uncle. "In Mississippi, you're looking at different trees. It's not as sleepy", said the Uncle. "It's been a very unusual beginning of the week", said the Uncle. "You can go to the webpage and look at video at the late, great Porter Wagner", said the Uncle. "Remember to pray, pray for others and read that Bible", said the Uncle before leaving us for the day.

Folks, the Uncle made his return on Friday's show after four days of vacation time. His return was unknown to this writer until after the show. Good day!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with...


"Thank you for continuing to listen to the Uncle Henry Show here on NewsRadio 710", said the Uncle. "Going to be talking from a moisture perspective", he said before reminding listeners how to contact him during the show. "Right now, I've got some very strange e-mails from Crockett I don't understand", said the Uncle, but first he must speak to caller Sherry seeking water heater information based on something seen on her TV set. "I was just wondering if any of the callers in Mobile County and Baldwin County would give me some info on that", said Sherry before leaving us. "Number one, 'The Idea Guy', even if he is a dentist, is a big graduate of Alabama, doesn't need to come on cursing like that", said our next caller Top Cat', whose second point of his call was a solution for yellow jackets. "The third thing is if I'm still on the air, I don't know", said 'Top Cat'. "You don't seem to care, but you're on the air", said the Uncle. "There's a very famous poet that all y'all schools didn't tell you about called Buffalo", said 'Top Cat'. "Very interesting theory about using yellow jackets as a means to get drunk", said the Uncle, who believes that a "drinking culture" exists in Mobile. "I like poetry, but in small doses", said the Uncle, who has noticed "no poetry channel on television and no poetry radio station". "That's why poetry is so intriguing because we don't hear much of it", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Vance. "Let me turn my radio down", said Vance, whose radio was heard on the air seconds before he spoke. "I hope you keep mine up", our host responded, causing Vance to laugh. "I see an advertisement on TV by Alabama Power", said Vance, who sees the commercial "half a dozen times" a day. "With cable going up, the phone bills going up", said Vance, who asked if "redundant" is the right word to use. "You don't really get to choose between 2 or 3 power companies", said the Uncle. "So why all the damn advertising if we don't have any choices?" Vance asked before leaving us, giving our host time to remind listeners that cursing should be reserved to veterans, though he was not being specific. "I heard a lot of talk on your show about yellow jackets and ways to get rid of them", said our next caller Joe, who knows a solution called "the Stingies", which comes in a can. "You must be around a lot of stuff that stings you", said the Uncle before learning about Joe's hometown of Silver Hill, Alabama. "Let's talk to C. J. Hello C. J. ", said the Uncle. "You know, I've been listening to you for a long time now and I know you get all these remedies", said C. J., who suggested a book titled "Uncle Henry's Original Home Remedies". "It wouldn't be original", said the Uncle. "It would be chalk full of juicy remedies", said C. J. "Particularly in Mobile, we have such a need and a wanting for socialism", said C. J., now on a different subject. "Charlie Moss is hard to get a hold of" said C. J., who wants to get in contact with another fellow through the radio reporter. "Many people would be lost without your show", C. J. has realized over time. After sensing possible sarcasm by C. J., "I don't mind, because I'm very understanding", said the Uncle. "Continue to call in whenever you feel like making a contribution", said the Uncle, who also told C. J. that Charlie Moss is all ready in the radio station's newsroom. After the break for commercials, "Uncle Henry Show continues. It's 9:21 here on NewsRadio 710. Next week, on Tuesday and Thursday, Scott O'Brien will be hosting the Uncle Henry Show with some people from WKRG 5", said the Uncle, who likes to refer to the CBS affiliate by the on-air brand name that succeeded TV5 (predates 1998 station sale) and preceded News 5 (based on the past newscast name "NewsCenter 5", it came after Media General took ownership of WKRG). "Strangely, his lineup is all female", said the Uncle, who has "no problem" with the guests, as they are all nice, but he admits his fondness for news presenters Mel Showers and Randy Patrick. "Special note for Tim. Tim, be here next week", said the Uncle, as weather reporter Jene Young is included with the four guests. "And Trey Lane, if you're listening", our host told the current caller screener, "try to have some digital camera". "I would like you to photograph the 'just Scott' and the WKRG 5 women", said the Uncle, who now wants to call the radio station's program director "just Scott" without his radio name O'Brien. "I just want to let you know that I really miss you", said our next caller, who used to listen to our host "after 10:00 AM", when he usually listens to another radio station. "I feel like a lot people in our country really want to have a socialist society, even though they don't call it that", said the caller. "Running down that way and I hope we can prevent that in our next election", he said about socialism. "I'm with you on that 100%", said the Uncle. "I say Roll Tide Roll and God bless!" said the caller before leaving us. "In a lot of days, I'm pulling for Auburn in that game because I-I'm watching the situation with South Florida and the more Auburn does, the better the SEC score", said the Uncle. "It's entertaining that you'll ever get to see, way more entertaining than any movie in a movie theater", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Steve, who was trying to contain his anger before sharing his story. "The local crime wave has finally brushed me", said Steve, whose "wife was robbed at knife point" by robbers, or "pieces of trash". "These two brave guys, they come in with their butcher knife", said Steve. "It's typical of the scum we've got running in the streets", said Steve. "I've got so many weapons around my place", said Steve, whose home is where any intrusion will "cost their neck". "That is the problem in this country that the citizens can't vote justice in their hands", said Steve, who mentioned the option of shocking the criminal. "We should have got our gut cut out and called the cops, I don't know", said Steve. "I'm still waiting for the good people in this country to stand up and say 'enough is enough' ", said Steve. "I really hope that these fellows get caught. I [really] think they won't", said Steve. "Steve, I've got to run. The best to you and your wife", said the Uncle, who wished "peace of mind" for our caller's wife. "We can alleviate some of these hold ups" by turning in weapons for Wal-Mart gift cards, our host suggested before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. 'Ask the Expert' coming up in the 10 o'clock hour", said the Uncle. "You need to be listening to this", he said about his show's follow up program, which is followed by "The Rush Limbaugh Show". Our host also "previewed" the latter program for today. "I wonder if how many of the national politicians in both parties have fund raising like this when they put names [in] dollar amounts?" aid the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Curtis. "How are you doing today, Uncle Henry?" said Curtis, who "wants to tell you in a environmentally friendly way how to get rid of yellow jackets" by using Dawn liquid soap. Curtis shared his memories of watching the TV program "Alabama Jubilee" with his papa. Our host remembers the show and the dancing featured, but not the 'Catholic boy stuff". "It's up to the parents to regulate and nothing goes outside of God. We want to keep things in God's spectrum", said Curtis while speaking about dancing. "When I learned how to do that Catholic boy stuff, I was a proud American", said Curtis. "Let's talk to Tim. Hello Tim", said the Uncle. "Jene Young is going to be on this show this week", he brought to Tim's attention. "My goodness, gracious", said Tim, who asked what day, which is Tuesday. "I was looking at the county commission website. At what point are they going to put a new commissioner on?" Tim asked about the new Mobile County commissioner Merceria Ludgood. "I don't know the condition of their website", said the Uncle. "She's one of the bosses and says, 'Hey put me on the website' ", our host suggested. "Now, we've been promised 70 new police officers. I guess they have all ready been released", said Tim. "November 16th, the planning commission is going to have a meeting about annexation about how they're going to treat the new (annexed) area", said Tim. "Anyway, you be careful and I wish you were there when Jene is there", said Tim before leaving us. "Let's talk to Amy. Hello Amy", said the Uncle. "Did you see the segment on the billboards? That was excellent", said Amy, who was referring to a TV news report by WKRG-TV5, even though she usually watches another channel for news in the morning. She was not specific, but it's either WALA-TV's morning newscast (FOX 10 News in the Morning) or the FOX News Channel. "I'm not going to pull for Nick Saban's former team", said the Uncle before expressing excitement for our next caller Jim the Tax Man, whose quick call followed up on Curtis' memories of "Alabama Jubilee" and brought up radio announcer Jack Cardwell. "I've got to spend some time with Jack Card well. We briefly worked together. That's right! We worked at a radio station in the Mobile area that no longer exists", said the Uncle. "The final whirlwind segment of the week is next!" our host said with emphasis on each word. One second after the final break for today, the show was interrupted by a National Weather Service flood warning for Escambia County, Florida, which is part of Mobile's radio and TV market to the signal reach of most of the area's stations. The show resumed during the second call made after the break. "I am going to the island of Antigua. They are having a special Osmond fan gathering", said the Uncle. "There was another call that was simply the best call of the day, you missed that", said the Uncle, who believes listeners at this point of the show think the show "is getting good". "I see where Alabama is a one point favorite against Tennessee", our next caller said about the Alabama Crimson Tide football team. He asked our host about his favorite Alabama coach besides Paul "Bear" Bryant. "Are you serious?" said the Uncle, "Gene Stallings! He was the most Bear-like and winning the national championship doesn't hurt". "What kind of a question was that?" our host asked. "There are no other choices other than Gene Stallings. Ray Perkins knows", said the Uncle. "Bill Curry, that was very uncomfortable", said the Uncle, who recalls Gene Stallings having a wonderful family. "Never warmed up to Coach Fran", said the Uncle. "Mike Price, Mike Shula, I have a great deal of affection for Mike Shula, but not his coaching ability", said the Uncle. "There was a motive behind asking that question. That was ridiculous!" said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Elvin. Good morning, Elvin", said the Uncle. "I'm sure ain't going to miss you", said Elvin, who never imagined our host on an island. "Elvin is one of the people that calls the voice mail about-I don't know, 20 voice mails a day", said the Uncle. "I was told that Mike Shula was speak at Heron's County Club", said the Uncle, who will be out of town at the time. "All right, out of time for the week!" said the Uncle. "Remember to pray, read your Bible", he reminded listeners.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with...


"Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you for continuing to listen to this show. If you would like to interact, the phone number is (251) 479-2723", said the Uncle. "We're less than-less than 2 hours away from the signing of the Roy Nichols contract. The media will be there. I don't know if Channel 5 (WKRG) will be there or not", said the Uncle. "We were going to try to get Charlie Moss out there, but we couldn't get a bus out there on time", said the Uncle. "You have all these stories about the new-not really new, MRSA obsession", said the Uncle. "Hospitals have been doing this for quite some time", our host said about the treatment for this illness. "It's something you don't want to get", said the Uncle, based on the experience of other folks. "I was just checking the Uncle Henry e-mail box during the newscast", said the Uncle, who told newsreader Michael P. Sloan not to worry whether or not he was paying attention to the 9 o'clock newscast. "The e-mail is that the public needs to know", said the Uncle. "We are at a point, once again that people need to be reminded to wash their hands", said the Uncle, who said "shame on you" to the folks who need to be reminded. "I'm just saddened that we need to tell people this they don't all ready know", said the Uncle. "I don't think I've ever had contact with someone else's wound", our host believes. "If Scott O'Brien is loaning his blade to Lisa Rainer, they need to quit that", said the Uncle after reading about razors in the message. "Let's talk to Tim. Hello Tim", said the Uncle. "Roll Tide", said Tim, who is not the Tim known in real life as Sam Marston IV and for saying "dab gum" (or something similar) on the show. "Let's talk to Wilma. Hello Wilma", said the Uncle. "I would like to know where I can buy a coveted old time chamber pot", said Wilma, whose daughter is somewhere in West Asia. "She has no charter facilities in her tent", said Wilma, who "thought about buying her a chamber pot". "She'll be surprised", Wilma believes. "I know Trey Lane's going to be upset with me getting your phone number", said the Uncle, who suggested Saad's Health Care for our caller to check out, which she all ready did. "Trey Lane has agreed grudgingly to take your phone number", said the Uncle, causing Wilma to laugh. "I hope that's not a funny request, but it's something I'd like to do for her", said Wilma. "She's been there for about a month", she said. "She said the food is delicious. They had steak and everything", said Wilma. "That's good!" the Uncle responded. "It broke my heart when she told me she volunteered", said Wilma, who is now glad she volunteered after learning about her satisfaction. "They need her", said the Uncle. "Thank you for calling, Wilma, and I hope we can help you", said the Uncle, who reminded Wilma that Trey Lane will "grudgingly" get her contact information. "I can't remember the last time I saw a chamber pot. I thought I saw one in a museum", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Jack. "Hey, how are you doing today?" Jack asked before expressing his appreciation for common sense. Though he has no idea "what channel", Jack saw "something" (a TV news report) about a military high school in Chicago, Illinois. "We have Shaw High School sitting out here with 17 students", said Jack. "I was thinking, 'God, why-why couldn't this happen?' " said Jack. "Do you think they would listen to me if I told them?" Jack asked without saying the school board. "It never hurts to go try", said the Uncle. "That's right", said Jack, who "drives around Mobile and Grand Bay" and notices children he believes should be in school at the time. "Anyway, I just wanted to call and say good morning", said Jack before leaving us. After the break and a voice message, the theme music for the TV series "Jonny Quest" was used as bumper music. "Uncle Henry Show continues. Let's go back to the telephones and back to John", said the Uncle. "I've been living out of town for a while and just came back to Mobile", said John, who was not sure if our host was still on the radio. While in Macon, Georgia, "I heard an old friend of yours on the radio", said John, who was referring to former Mobile radio talk show host Shane McBryde, who preceded our host on 710 AM and later competed against him on his former radio home WABB. "Too bad you didn't know about the yellow jackets then, because Shane McBryde would have told you about the yellow jackets", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Karen. "I know where she can get a chamber pot", said Karen, who was responding to Wilma's call. "So the antique store there at the Loop", said the Uncle. "I've just got to be careful what I say to people", said the Uncle after reading the previous electronic mail message before speaking to our next caller Frank, whom he was being "frank" or honest to.

"Uncle Henry Show continues on this wonderful Thursday. (251) 479-2723 is the number. Let's talk to John", said the Uncle. This second caller named John had a "solution to the yellow jacket problem" and a childhood story involving a wasp nest near his home and some stomping. "That sounds like an old fashion home remedy", said the Uncle after learning about John's papa stomping the nest. "Let's talk to Joyce! Hello Joyce!" said the Uncle. "The front of the 'Metro/Region' section, the swearing in ceremony of Merceria Ludgood' ", said the Uncle, who noticed facial expression of county commissioner Steve Nodine in the Press-Register's picture. "You may remember that was a while back there was this company the APL putting all this computer work into the county", our host reminded listeners. "From what I understand, Merceria Ludgood is all ready trying to get this company back on the payroll and the fact that she is-I supposed, is getting assistance", said the Uncle. "So I wonder if Mike Dean is going to be working with Merceria Ludgood in getting this company back", said the Uncle. "I know that everybody has their friends and they want to get in charge of county government", said the Uncle. "Please tell them we need to have these things like this APL thing bid on", our host requested for the county commissioners' "minions" probably listening to the show. "It's good to have your voice on the air this morning", said our next caller, who wished our host was running for the school board in Mobile County. "Nodine, I think he's doing a wonderful job on getting us" the school budget we wanted, said the caller. "I will just say this with this record salary: We do expect to do better without Harold Dodge and we don't expect anything to get cut", said the Uncle. As for the idea for our host running for a school board position, "We thought you were going to go for that", said the caller. "We ought to have an elected post just like the sheriff. Why not? Why not have the pubic input on this?" said the Uncle. "I'm calling in response to the lady who was saying she was trying to get rid of the yellow jackets with some fire", said a third caller named John, who knows plumber who had a septic tank solution that resulted in an explosion due to methane gas. "The force of the blast came through and split the toilet", said John, causing a mess in one lady's bathroom. "Hey, beautiful phone call! Thank you very much", said the Uncle after John left us. "Can you imagine that?" he asked listeners. "I cannot imagine an exploding septic tank", said the Uncle, who would find the experience too emotional to handle. Our next caller asked for a prediction on this weekend's Alabama Crimson Tide football game, but our host doesn't follow the Southeastern Conference. "No one has told me to take it easy in many years and I don't like that", said the Uncle, who suddenly had the idea of a "hunting show" featuring him and newsreader Michael P. Sloan. "You can put me and Mike Sloan together", said the Uncle, who would hunt squirrels on such a show. During the commercial break, "I believe in supporting local sausage", said the Uncle in a live commercial for Hall's Meats, the popular meat product from Chickasaw, Alabama. "It's like icing on the sausage cake", said the Uncle. After the final break for today and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. Shame on you! Shame on you for attacking someone other than you", said the Uncle after listening to Dan's recorded message. "I want to be able to turn on the TV and see Lindsay Wagner", Angela Lansberry, Andy Griffith, and other folks over the age of 50, 60, and 70, said the Uncle, who looks forward to the day when older folks are the majority in the USA. "They would have more viewers", said the Uncle, if the remake of the TV series "The Bionic Woman" was not so dark and bloody. "Trust me, parents are hungry for shows they can watch for children and they're fewer and fewer", said the Uncle. "Only a young man would make a racist comment about a young woman like that", said the Uncle, who believes there will be a day when caller Dan will feel ashamed for insulting Lindsay Wagner or other folks of her gender. "Well, here's my spin on the superintendent", said our next caller, who wants the public to "wake up" to the idea of splitting up the Mobile County Public School System. "It's hard to start up a school system, but nothing worth while here on Earth is easy", said the Uncle, who believes the new school system in Saraland, Alabama will "pay off" for residents. "They know the tax dollar will go to their schools", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller, who discussed "yellow jackets and mess like that". Our host wanted to speak to callers C. J. and "Top Cat" before running out of time for today. "I'm sure it has something to do with yellow jackets and Lindsay Wagner", he assumed before ending the show with his daily reminder "to pray and read that Bible".

"T'storms Today" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show with...


"Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you listener for continuing to listen to this show", said the Uncle, speaking to listeners in the area he enjoys calling "lower Alabama" and "Mobile region". "This morning I got the most offensive e-mail that I've ever received. It was one of those spam e-mails and the subject line was filthy", said the Uncle. "Very upsetting", he said after reading the subject line. "You just heard Bill Meredith from the school board meeting say he just left a meeting", said the Uncle, assuming listeners from the previous hour of the show were listening during the newsbreak. "If you're listening, Mr. Nichols, congratulations on the contract", our host told the incoming superintendent for the Mobile County Public School System. "You don't need an open house. People don't need to tour that place", said the Uncle, basing his comments on a list of ideas for Roy Nichols. "Instead of wasting time on the issue, just get a delegate" to call "on behalf of the superintendent" and ask for more money, said the Uncle. "No, look, no, come on. I'm making the assumption that we hired you after a long list of applicants", said the Uncle, who believes Roy Nichols knows how to do his job. "You don't need to go to any of these conferences", said the Uncle, who suggested alternatives such as the Internet search engine and unofficial verb Google and "The Oprah Winfrey Show". Barton Academy, "you can put that on eBay. See if anybody wants it and if they don't want make it [into] a Bear Bryant museum", our host suggested for the former school board offices. "You'll notice on this list there's nothing in here about academics", said the Uncle. "That sounds weird and strange for you to find out a way to evaluate you", said the Uncle after reading another listing. "Develop a system wide calendar. Well, that shouldn't take more than 10 to 15 minutes", said the Uncle. "All right, good luck, best to you. I'll be praying for you", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to the Idea Guy. Hello Idea Guy", said the Uncle, who is excited to hear from the listener who regularly leaves recorded messages. "He ought to be evaluating them, not him", said "Idea", who was referring to the school board members. "Does Scott O'Brien really want to get more public funds for people running for office?" "Idea" asked about the radio station's program director. "Is he smoking?" "Idea" asked, who learned that Scott still smokes cigarettes. "Roll Tide, Uncle Henry!" said our next caller Mark, who wants our host to "cut" him off if he steps "on somebody else's nail". "If they don't want to do the work, dab gum, get out of office and give us our money back", said Mark. "The new sign for Mobile Police jurisdictions ends west on Snow Road", Mark brought to our attention. "My goodness", said the Uncle. "Mobile is growing", our host added. "Why are they so excited? They were under police jurisdiction in the first place", Mark said about Mobile Terrace resident. He used a bubbling pancake analogy for Mobile's growth. "They are very optimistic in Mobile Terrace and as Fred Richardson once said, 'Time will tell' ", said the Uncle, who continues to enjoy quoting the Mobile City Council member. After the break for commercials, "Uncle Henry Show continues on this glorious morning", said the Uncle. "There is so much going on with national politics and Limbaugh everyday becomes a must listen show", he said about the national radio program "The Rush Limbaugh Show" before speaking to caller Shawn. "I'm sure that previous caller (Mark) enjoys having his information backed up", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Marvin. "Just mark my words, things are going to change", Marvin said about the school system, but he doesn't justify an increase of teachers by one hundred. "Thank God for ThyssenKrump", said Marvin, who made the common pronunciation of the German steel company coming to the Mobile region. One caller's suggestion for Roy Nichols is to "appear on Uncle Henry at least nightly to [accept] questions from the public". "That's true, the callers are more interesting than the guests", said the Uncle after suggesting that he hires a guest host. "I think the ratings will probably plummet if we bring in all these different politicians", our host believes. "Let's talk to-what, we have a time out", said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues. Telephone number is (251) 479-2723 if there's something you want to add", said the Uncle, who is all ready looking forward to the newsbreak in the next 25 minutes. "I'm enjoying your show this morning", said our next caller Max, who was listening during the 8 o'clock hour of the show with Scott O'Brien. "I hope Mr. Nichols brings some true intelligence to the school board", said Max, who also wants to see the end of the "teacher plight" in Mobile County. "I just hope Mr. Nichols pays attention to what's going [on with] the teacher situation", said Max. "We're headed for some serious, serious teacher shortages worse than what's going on now", said Max. "The most that needs to succeed is our public education system", said the Uncle. "In my opinion, we have lost a lot of quality family values", said Max. "I agree, thank you very much for your phone call, Max", said the Uncle. "The thing I wish for education the entirety of the United States of America", said the Uncle, is openness to new ideas. "Most of these techniques go back to hard discipline", said the Uncle. "I heard you were having a real good day today", said our next caller John, who suspects the folks who sent him mailing labels recently are in cahoots with the post office. "The answer is you did not feel obligated because you didn't ask for that", said the Uncle. "It's good to give to charity, don't get coerce", our host continued. "Yeah, there seems to be-Congress, really, they look at a lot of things", said the Uncle. "The point of it is to really find out what really goes on", he said about Senate committee hearings. "Remember we had all the high gas prices", said the Uncle, who wonders "if it's all to get on television, to give the illusion to do something". "There's a news story today about approval ratings about the president and the Congress", said the Uncle. "People are just dissatisfied across the board for the leadership in Washington", said the Uncle. "I've been so disappointed in a lot of things the president has said and not has said", said the Uncle, who feels "automatically tuned out to the people in Washington". After the final break for today and a radio promotion for tonight's TV programs from National Broadcasting Company (NBC), "Uncle Henry Show continues. I still say the original 'Bionic Woman' is better" than the newer, darker remake, said the Uncle after hearing the promotion. "Loved watching 'The Bionic Woman', said the Uncle, though he recalls the show getting "silly" near the end. Our host believes the title character's original actor Lindsay Wagner is still "good looking" at the present time. "I've seen her on her infomercials. She should be 'The Bionic Woman' ", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Bill. "I had a learning disability all my life. I'm schizophrenic", said the caller, who "feels great". "I've got to mop this floor clean, Henry", said Bill before leaving us. "That diagnosis, that's very serious!" said the Uncle, who plans to put Bill on the "prayer list" along with other members of the population. Our next caller George shared his experience of watching a presidential candidate on a cable/satellite TV channel unknown to him as TV One. "No, I'm not sure what it was", George said about the channel. "There was nothing else on television, wasn't there?" our host asked. "Why are you watching this and the election is a year away", said the Uncle. "I liked of fall out of my chair", said George after hearing the candidate's comparison of Fredrick Douglas to "the North Star" in the sky. "Do you think it disqualifies her from being president?" the Uncle asked George. "There are other channels, I'm sure there is something else on", said the Uncle, who is glad George is watching such TV programming for him. "You can't hang a noose. It's federal law", said our next caller Jaye. "As you point out, there are limits to our speech", said the Uncle, who mentioned yelling "fire" in a crowded theater for example. "We really want to get along and America's the place to be", said Jaye. "Jaye, thank you very much. Have a good day", said the Uncle. "For the first time in the history of the show, I thank Scott O'Brien for the contribution he brought", said the Uncle. "Pray for others like Bill and read that Bible", said the Uncle at the end of today's show.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues. Telephone number is (251) 479-2723. Thank you for continuing to listen", said the Uncle, who has "numerous issues" to talk about ranging from local to national, but first he must speak to caller Freddie. "I read those letters to the editor this morning", said Freddie, who wants to discuss one lady's letter in particular. "They had the imported shrimp and they thought they would be supporting the local shrimp industry", Freddie learned from the letter. "I'm not going to get into this political arena over there (in Baldwin County) because I don't live there", said Freddie. "You've got some callers call us liberals left wing nuts", said Freddie. After thanking the caller, "That was the first Freddie call that did not leave me disoriented", said the Uncle. "Let me say I agree with you on the issue of the dog poop. I am very conscience", said the Uncle, who is prepared "to carry the dog business out of the area". "I do not let my dog soil the lawns of my neighbors", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to G-Man. Hello G-Man", said the Uncle. "This morning I saw Mayor Jones on the TV talking to the new residents of Mobile" from the annexed area of West Mobile, said G-Man before discussing park plans in the Mobile region. "It's government budgeting. It makes no sense in the real world", said the Uncle. "There is never any money with the other parks in town", said G-Man. "You and I are on the same disoriented page", said the Uncle. "Good morning, George", our host said to the next caller. "Your show is mighty interesting this morning", said George before discussing one Mobile County Public School System member. "I'm not going to go off and read between the lines", said George. "If she feels like we elected her to be a dictator", said George, who suggests that Judy Stout recalls part of the Constitution of the United State. "You should try to do what the people want", said George. "I think Miss Stout's [the] biggest problem out at the school board and she needs to be replaced", said George. "She just got elected up there", said the Uncle. "I think they got 10 years time", said Tim, who was corrected with 6 years as the term limit for school board members. "I understand that they got this living in downtown thing", said Tim. "You know I-I got a suggestion. Garbage is suppose to pick up that mess today on Old Shell Road", said Tim. "Why don't they give those people a can and go ahead and throw your garbage in there?" said Tim. "I think it would be good training for them", he added. "And G-Man's right, they are going to spend their money how they want it", said Tim. "Is that a new slang term, 'To ride dirty?' ", our host asked. "According to Trey Lane", said the Uncle, "if you're riding with drugs and you're driving with drugs". "Let's talk to Mike. Hello Mike", said the Uncle before receiving Mike's shout of "Roll Tide". "So, if you're homeless, you got to be where the action is", Mike said later in his call. "I might need to transition to that and save some money", said the Uncle. "Look, I've got to run", said the Uncle, who found Mike's call to be "wonderful". After the break for commercials and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues here. Kesshia Peyton has just dropped in", said the Uncle, who asked the WKRG-TV5 reporter if she called anybody before coming into the radio studio within the WKRG building, in which TV5 and 710 AM have shared since the local ownership days. "If seemed like everybody was missing in action", said Kesshia, who wanted to hear some news feedback from the callers. "So you want the listeners to comment on you", said the Uncle. As our guest prepared herself for callers, "I want to apologize for the mess Scott O'Brien left", said the Uncle, causing Kesshia to laugh. "I don't know what those are, fingernails", said the Uncle, causing more laughter. "Have you done the traditional going out at the mall and asking people what they think?" our host asked the guest. "I don't do the mall", Kesshia answered. "We have somebody that wants to talk. If you have a microphone, you can put it up to the headphones", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Wade. "Oh, this is Wade Perry", said the Uncle. "Hello, this Kesshia Peyton from Channel 5", said Kesshia. "It seems like the school union and the media are on very friendly terms", said the Uncle. "You would like to publicly set up a meeting with Kesshia Peyton now?" the Uncle asked Wade, who will set it up the interview eventually. "Do you mind if I take a time out?" the Uncle asked Kesshia, who doesn't mind. "Time for Mike Sloan", said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues", said the Uncle as "music from last night's 'Dancing with the Stars' " aired. "This music, this was the way television was in the 1970s", said the Uncle, who asked Kesshia if she watches the show on the notorious ABC affiliate WEAR-TV in Pensacola, Florida. "No, I don't. I'm a 'CSI' person on CBS", said Kesshia, who is a reporter for a CBS affiliate. After realizing our next caller Bill was singing "Rocky Top", "How dare you! How dare you embarrass me in front of Kesshia Peyton?" said the Uncle. "Are you smoking?" was the question our host had for call screener Trey Lane. "Good morning, Uncle Henry. Good morning, Kesshia", said one caller, who always finds the school board an interesting topic to discuss. "If you literally think of the position they're in, you would let them do their job", said the caller. "So you think it's possible to satisfy the public?" our host asked the caller, who believes in the school board. "Hey, how are you doing this morning?" said our next caller, who was not identified. "I'm glad that the community is benevolent of what's going on in the school board", said the caller. "Kesshia Peyton, I hope you are getting this. Very deep", said the Uncle, who asked our guest if she was not expecting "intellectual" callers before coming into the studio. "One of the issues with Dodge is he allowed them to micromanage him, so you may want to ask him about that", said Norman, suggesting that Kesshia asks Wade Perry about micromanaging the school superintendent. "I take issue with Miss Stout's comments and the attitude that was displayed", said our next caller. "You pretty much got what you asked for. You put her into office", said the caller. "Was that a fair assessment?" the caller asked our host. "Yes", the Uncle answered. "Really, ultimately the best way to express your opinion about that is the next time an election rolls about", said the caller. "Uncle Henry, would you mind the school board micromanaging you for $5000 a week?" our next caller Tom asked following his usual shout of "Roll Tide Roll". "Do you need to leave, Kesshia? Are you all ready bored, because you were talking during his call?" said the Uncle, who found out that Kesshia has to conduct another interview. "You can keep talking, Tom, because I care", said the Uncle. "Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. The final whirlwind segment of the program is next", said the Uncle before the break. After the final break for today and a voice message, "All right, Uncle Henry Show continues. Dan, I don't mind if you call in with those comments", said the Uncle. "I don't generally agree with you on those comments", said the Uncle, who believes some football quarterbacks are overrated. "If you've got a bad line, it doesn't matter who is back there because they are going to struggle", he said about football before speaking to our next caller Olmer. "I don't think the people have confidence anymore", Olmer said about the voters of school board members. "We get the arrogant and pompous attitude, not only of our local politicians", said Olmer, who used Sam Jones before annexing part of West Mobile for example. "Just the whole bunch and I don't know what we can do", said Olmer. "They just do what the rest of the politicians do", Olmer continued. "I imagine a lot of people believe that", said the Uncle, whose suggestion for Olmer is to "sit down and rest". "It's depressing and who are we going to vote on in 2008 for the federal elections, there are not a bunch of choices", said Olmer. "I wish you were on 3 hours a day", Olmer suggested before comparing program director Scott O'Brien to politicians who do anything they want, or in the case of Scott, programming the radio station his way. "Continue to call Scott O'Brien", said the Uncle. "You might reach the 500 call mark", he assumed. "What a show! An unannounced visitor coming in", said the Uncle. "We have an excellent 'Ask the Expert' with veterinary advice", said the Uncle, who also mentioned "the wonderful Mike Sloan news" following today's show.

Notes of Interest:

WEAR-TV is notorious for its treatment of network programming and for keeping certain programs out of the Alabama side of the broadcast area with co-owned station WFGX-TV, but WKRG-TV5 is notorious for Emergency Alert (Broadcast) System tests that mute regular programming such as "The Price is Right" today. Good day!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you for continuing to listen to the Uncle Henry Show. You're on NewsRadio 710", said the Uncle. "Who is Mike Saban?" he asked caller Crockett, whose voice message was played on the air. "Crockett, you sound like you were doing a little bit too much multitasking", said the Uncle. "It's Nick Saban, not Mike Saban", our host corrected the Alabama Crimson Tide football coach's name for Crockett. "Are you doing your taxes from 2006?" the Uncle asked, "Who would be doing their taxes during the Alabama game from several years ago?" "Your taxes are late, can you take a better time to do your taxes than the Alabama game? I don't understand that and you have to nap during a game", said the Uncle. "Your credibility as a commentator is harmed if you don't give the game your full attention", said the Uncle. "I'll look into the e-mail box today", said the Uncle, though some of the messages are "FWs" from over the weekend, but first he speaks to a caller. "Every once in a while, I wish you had webcam for your broadcast", said the caller, who suggests putting a "blue dot" on program director Scott O'Brien, whose on-air conversation with our host was referred to as a "performance". "Everything that I've read in print has been nothing but negative" about the TV documentary "The War", said the caller. "When I saw that (documentary), I can't tell you how proud I was, not only of this country, but of the people who went through it", said the caller. "When they insulted him, they insulted the people in this show", said the caller. "When I read this article, I kind of had the backdrop of what Rush Limbaugh's been talking about the war", said the caller, who was referring to the current war in West Asia. "I thought this was more left wing liberalism", the caller described the review excerpts in the article. "They're preaching and teaching this to people and it infuriates me", said the caller. "There is no way I want the country to suffer because of any administration's policy", said the caller. "For some reason, it's not fashionable to love this county", said the caller, who hopes he's not the only one who has this view. "I just wanted to voice my opinion", said the caller before leaving us. "It's really people telling their story and I think it's one of the best things-there is no way to cover the entire war", the Uncle said about "The War". "That generation is not going to be around much longer", our host reminded listeners. "We're all familiar with the big battles and the death toll[s] and the result of things", said the Uncle. "You don't see a lot of pictures of the dead people and the enormous cost of that war and what real sacrifice", said the Uncle, who sees "the real sacrifice" today. "I don't buy any of those criticisms", said the Uncle. "It is a nice history point into learning more about it", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Mike. "You were talking about the gyrations about the way the kids dance nowadays", said Mike, who believes they were the result of the government and sex education programs. "Who protects the children here in the system?" Mike asked about the Department of Human Resources in the Mobile area in comparison to Baldwin County east of Mobile Bay. "Nobody has checked into it", said Mike. "Yeah, they advertise the people (child predators) around here", said Mike, who asked why there are no advertisements for anyone in the system. "I'll just let you know that today in the Birmingham News there is a story about the Department of Human Resources in Alabama", said the Uncle. "Other states look to the state of Alabama as a role model", our host read in the article. "They're saying we're beginning to turn things around", said the Uncle, who hopes "that indeed is the truth". "You are listening to NewsRadio 710. Uncle Henry Show continues", our host reminded listeners before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. It is 9:23", said the Uncle before mentioning an Associated Press article with one young fellow's question for a presidential candidate, "If something bad were living on another planet, what would you do?" "Tim, good morning", said the Uncle, who knows the caller was in the presence of a presidential candidate on the Causeway in Mobile last Friday. "Did you say the word 'dab gum' when you were in his presence?" he asked Tim, who never used the term he's known for on the show. "My biggest fear is we need to elect someone that's going to beat Hillary", said Tim, who was referring to another presidential candidate by first name only, "so I think he's going to do it". "I thought we had problems in the tunnel, Henry, but we had something blow up", said Tim. "I forget where it was (southern California)", he added. "To have these guys on TV in Mobile, I think it's great", Tim said about the presidential candidates. "You know, Henry, most of the people around you are on some type of drugs", according to Tim. "That is true", our host responded. "You can take your anti-depressant, but I listen to Uncle Henry", said Tim, who suggested a "box set" without explaining what he was talking about. "Tim goes to a football party and people are asking why he was not on some type of drug", said the Uncle, who hopes those other folks were friends rather than acquaintances. "I just think maybe three people on this floor are not on something", our host assumes about fellow employees on the third floor of the WKRG building in Mobile.

"Let's talk to the Tax Man. Hello Tax Man", said the Uncle after the break for news, commercials, and station promotions. "Today is the final day to have your taxes return, if you [haven't]", said Jim. "My man from the very get go, the famous Trip Pittman, he's a real conservative", Jim said about the state senate candidate in Baldwin County. "He's just a super good person", said Jim. "We are united and we got to stand together", said Jim. "For goodness sake, go out and vote for him. Ok?" said Jim, though our host doesn't endorse candidates. Our caller's voice probably irritated some listeners when he said, 'Ok'. After reading Sunday's newspaper article about a new island formed from Dauphin Island, "I say the best name for this island is 'Paul Bear Bryant Island' ", said the Uncle, who believes something in the Mobile region should be named after the former Alabama Crimson Tide coach. "For many, many years the only positive in the state of Alabama was 'Bear' Bryant and his Crimson Tide", said the Uncle. "For several decades, he was the guy who brought the positive to the state of Alabama", said the Uncle, who believes the Mobile Convention Center or RSA Tower could have been named after the coach. "Things named after Paul 'Bear' Bryant are automatically successful", said the Uncle, who has seen people buy Paul "Bear" Bryant Coke bottles. "You're probably an Auburn fan listening to this, so you [may] be offended", said the Uncle, who suggested a combined name for the island. "I don't want that thing named after a hurricane", said the Uncle. "You don't need to slap me in the face with this every time I open a mouth", said the Uncle. "That new island, Dauphin Island or whatever", said our next caller, who mentioned the berms paid for on Dauphin Island's beaches. "We got something for our money, at least", said the caller. "Let's talk to C. J.", said the Uncle before this caller suggested the name 'Sugar-Bear' for the island. "Bryant comes first", said the Uncle. "Do they have an invitation to go to your station", C. J. asked about the two state senate candidates in Baldwin County. "I whole heartedly would go ahead and endorse him", C. J. said about Trip Pittman before leaving us. "Trip Pittman, I think was someone who admired Lillian Jackson", said the Uncle, who was referring to late community activist and former radio talk show. "There is really nothing new that sand goes from time to time", said our next caller, who learned that years ago as a young boy. After the final break for today and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. Yes, the voice mails got very interesting over the weekend", said the Uncle. "If you need someone to talk to", said the Uncle, who recommended leaving a recorded message. "This Friday, I may have a voice mail segment", said the Uncle, as the recorded messages tend to "pile up". "You know I got to Sam's Club, where there are no bags of any kind, where I don't need them", said the Uncle. "I'm always shopping for me and my dog", said the Uncle. "I'm very happy for being bagless", he said proudly. "I think I have an e-mail that is not some sort of joke", said the Uncle before reading the message for Scott O'Brien with a question about moments during the football games at Mobile's Ladd-Pebbles Stadium where there is no commentary. "Could it be that he has taken a quick nap?" our host asked before speaking to our next caller, who was promoting a Thanksgiving and Christmastime-related event planned for November. "If you let your listeners know, that would be much appreciated", said the caller. "Be sure to remind people close to Mobile about that. Sounds good to me", said the Uncle. "I thank you for listening", said the Uncle, who has "almost recovered from what happened in the first segment". "It's always an adventure working for O'Brien", said the Uncle, who suggested "psychological armor" for himself.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues on this glorious Friday. Thank you for continuing to listen", said the Uncle, who reminded listeners how to contact him telephonically and electronically. "Phone lines are full. Let's go back to the phones", said the Uncle before speaking to caller Roy. "We've got all kinds of border crimes that need to be solved", said Roy. "How imperative it is of someone to condemn something in 1950?" our host asked after Roy left us. "Let's talk to John. Hello John", said the Uncle. "It's a different waking up, it's 60 degrees outside", said John before our host added the difference of dogs "using the restroom" today. "Your caller Freddie, he could be a very good service to the City of Mobile", John believes. "This is the reason I'm saying this and it has nothing to do with the opinions Freddie has to say", said the Uncle. "No other caller has disoriented me", said the Uncle, who finds Freddie's calls to be "a performance art". "I am literally disoriented 9 out of 10 calls", said the Uncle, who used a baseball analogy to compare with Freddie's calls. "Let's talk to Tony. Hello Tony", said the Uncle. "Roll Tide Roll", said Tony. "Let's talk to Robert. Hello Robert", said the Uncle. "I was listening to your talk show with your local democrat, Freddie being", said Robert, who put Freddie in a high position for his question. "Did you think if Freddie was in charge, we would be able to listen to Rush Limbaugh or Uncle Henry, Michael Savage, or Sean Hannity?" Robert asked. "None of you would be on the air", according to Robert. "Just trying to shut you up. Don't want to hear your opinion", Robert continued. "Of course you have to worry about the national democrats because they have real power and that's what scares me", said Robert. "With the Internet being a controlling force in this world, those days" have come to an end, said the Uncle. "It's nothing new", he said before speaking to our next caller George. "Your shows have a lot of controversy in it", said George. "It amazes me when people one day try to impose on another race what they can say", said George. "No one's saying that this doesn't happen in a particular race, but one particular race seems to be known for it", said George. "Before you continue, one caller said I need to listen what your mouth says and read between the lines", said the Uncle. "I say a few people try to impose upon a race", said George. "Are you negative?" our host asked. "If they got some degree in training for reading between the lines", said George, who called the training the abbreviation "b. s.", which contains an expletive. "I think what I said is well understood", said George. "I never try to go into such deep analysis", said the Uncle. "I'll think about the last call as we continue on the Uncle Henry Show. It is 9:22", said the Uncle before taking a break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. It is a wonderful Friday. Beautiful weather", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Mike. "The reason that liberals are so [offended] of talk radio is because they know their audience will conduct with their elected officials", said Mike. "That may be the case!" said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Bridget. Hello Bridget", said the Uncle. "Good morning, Uncle Henry", said Bridget, who called in response to caller George. "I really cannot-some of the things he talks about I agree with", said Bridget, who agrees with George on one point. "I think we need to reform because I believe some people need the Pell grant to work everyday", said Bridget. "Let's get out of the race formality", she said before leaving us. "A lot of what you said is right on target", said the Uncle. "When I talk about race, it's just people in general", our host explained. "A lot of attitudes about it are outdated. We've had welfare reform", said the Uncle. "I'm sure there are a lot of abuses in the system, but it's not like it was 20 years ago, it's not like it was 15 years ago", said the Uncle. "Getting people out of a generational cycle", said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues. Hey what-they are all ready doing well in the ratings", said the Uncle, who believes WKRG-TV5 would do much better by taking his idea of beginning their newscasts with the weather. "And the mornings are different because John Nodar is on every 5 minutes", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Michelle, whose call was breaking up the entire time. "Please call back, we had some problems with your cell phone", said the Uncle. "You certainly sound like a high achiever. I want to hear your opinions", said the Uncle. "I'm more and more admiring any people these days who go to college and go on their own", said the Uncle. "All people now seem to believe that children shouldn't pay for college. Now when I was growing up, you paid for your own college", said the Uncle. "You worked your way up and pay the loan back", the Uncle continued. "I know the bills can be incredibly steep", our host mentioned. "Once I get started on this (issue), I won't stop", said the Uncle, interrupting his occasional reminder of the show's call-in number. "Did you go to college?" our next caller Elvin asked. "I did briefly, but I had to stop to support my family", said the Uncle before Elvin continued with his call. "Now Touché has [stepped] in", said the Uncle as the fellow employee walked into the studio without prior notice. "What would you like to talk about?" our host asked. "I can kind of put myself in one of the categories", said Touché. "The stereotypes don't apply anymore. Would you agree with that?" said the Uncle, whom Touché agrees with. "It's not much a generational thing as people think of anymore", said the Uncle. "I'm just honored that you would come in on the show", said the Uncle. "Any other employee, if you ever want to come in, just come on at the door and let me know", said the Uncle. "Is it not a wonderful day?" our next caller Steve asked. "Behind every single mother, there is a dad who is not stepping up as a man", said Steve. "I would think 99% of people would say the man is suppose to be responsible for what he's doing", said the Uncle. "Well Steve, I've got to run. I've got a break", said the Uncle before taking the break for commercials. After the final break for today, "Uncle Henry Show continues. Mike Sloan news coming up in less than 10 minutes. Mike Sloan contemplating whether he should go out this weekend with his crossbow", said the Uncle. "Alex Mathis! Welcome to the program!" said the Uncle, who was surprised to hear the caller on the radio again before learning of his marriage plans. "Best to you in the bride. Hopefully everything will go the way you want it", said the Uncle. "What a wonderful treat for you to listen while you drive through picturesque Mississippi", said the Uncle after learning of Alex's location. "That was Alex Mathis just checking in", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Tim, whom program director Scott O'Brien was "critical" of this morning. "I try to like him", said Tim, who asked where Scott is from since his slow speech was criticized. "I think he was raised in Pensacola", said the Uncle. "This is the first time I've ever called you. I try to listen every time I can", said our next caller Bill, who raised three children by himself for 15 years. "There are two sides to anything. Stereotyping went out a long time ago. Basically we need to go back to church", said Bill. "That's a great way to cap the week", said the Uncle. "I have news coming up with the crossbow hunter Mike Sloan. After that 'Ask the Expert' with Scott O'Brien and after that 'The Rush Limbaugh Show' ", said the Uncle, who is unsure whether the latter program's host will be in today to talk about one subject on our host's mind: Albert Gore, Jr. winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

Today's 9 o'clock hour gets a 3.8/5!

"Uncle Henry Show continues on this beautiful Thursday. Telephone number to call is 479-2723. That's 251 479-2723", said the Uncle before speaking to caller Barbara. "I haven't talked to you in quite a while", said Barbara. "That's right!" said the Uncle before listening to Barbara's question about folks in need after a certain hurricane. "Barbara was putting that specifically to Tim and Norman", said the Uncle, who hears form those two callers regularly, especially Tim. "So Tim and Norman, you were assigned by Barbara to do research on that topic", he explained to them before speaking to our next caller. "I really enjoy your 'podcast' ", said the caller, who wanted to speak about the German steel company ThyssenKrupp, which he pronounced with great emphasis on the third syllable. "After listening to the phone calls, I didn't realize that Baldwin County is doomed as they are", said the caller. "Let's talk to the Tax Man! Hello Tax Man!" said the Uncle, who is always excited to hear from Jim the Tax Man. "I think the salvation of Prichard, Alabama with that 15% will increase", said Jim, who believes former Prichard mayor and state senate candidate A. J. Cooper should negotiate with his former city. "So Freddie, call Mr. Cooper and let him negotiate", Jim said to a previous caller. Jim referred to Freddie and A. J. Cooper as brothers. "He might even run back for mayor again. You know what I mean?" said Jim, whose changing voice out of passion could be irritating to some listeners. "I heard my name mentioned, but I heard the tail end of it", said our next caller Norman, who wants to hear the question for him and caller Tim. "Is there a hold up on some of the people in need?" our host forwarded to Norman. "Everything they have, they want to put in on the flood so the government and the tax payers pay for it", said Norman. "You can thank your politicians and your lawyers, you know what I'm saying, it's all tied up", Norman continued. "I will look into it", said Norman, who has a question for our host: "Was A. J. Cooper mayor like in the Seventies?" "I remember in that time period that the economy and the just everything about Prichard just went down just horribly", said Norman, who suggests some reading material on what made Prichard "booming" in the 1970s. "I think it was the first time anytime decided to be useful in that capacity", said the Uncle, describing Norman's response to caller Barbara. After the break for commercials and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. 9:19 at NewsRadio 710. Warren, I'm glad you gave advice to that guy", said the Uncle, who was responding to the voice message made in response to caller Brad's recorded message about a rude gesture with the long finger. "You may call. I know a lot of people were calling over the past several minutes", said the Uncle, who believes current call screener Trey Lane is on a "nicotine break" and away from his work post. "I've got an annexation letter sent to me by a listener", said the Uncle, who put the letter online at the radio station's website. "Good morning, Uncle Henry", said Henry, who also wants to speak directly to caller Freddie. "Back in the early Seventies, I worked for the City of Mobile police department", said Henry, who now resides in Baldwin County, east of Mobile Bay. "So, and ex-officer calling in to say the Prichard of the mid-Seventies was like the Wild West", said the Uncle, who wished he had "quenched him a little more" for clarity. "I don't know if it was people on horseback or people shooting", said the Uncle, since he doesn't recall "roaming" through Prichard at the time. In the electronic mail box, a message with the subject "Showing Movies at School" was read on the air. "Now, let me clarify. I'm interrupting the e-mail", said the Uncle, who remembers his son at Semmes Middle School watching "movies shown on an old fashioned projector" with junkies vomiting. "Utterly impressed with Bill Cosby and the vomiting heroin addict", said the Uncle. "They don't need to see Shrek! Now let me get back to the e-mail", said the Uncle, who only knows the character Shrek from cereal boxes and not from the three movies starring Shrek. "Willie, I want to express my gratitude to you for the wonderful memories", said the Uncle, who encouraged listeners to do the same thing by electronic mail. "The regular number for you that live in the calling area is 479-2723", the Uncle reminded listeners. "Go nowhere unless you're going to NewsRadio710.com to read the Uncle Henry page. That is allowed", said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Mike Sloan news coming up in about 25 minutes. I can't wait!" said the Uncle just minutes after the last newsbreak. "These weather predictions, I don't know if weather predictions have made any advancements in my lifetime", said the Uncle, who mentioned advancements such as radar maps. As for predicting rain, it's been "abut the same as it's always been my entire life", said the Uncle. "You know, I like watching weather radar. I like that", our host admits. "They should never have the news at the beginning of the news, in my opinion", said the Uncle. "I now watch WKRG 5 every opportunity", said the Uncle, since the radio station has a new partnership with the TV station it brought into existence over 52 years ago under local ownership. "You have Mel Showers smiling, you have Rose Ann Haven smiling, and you have Alan Sealls come in" with the weather, the Uncle suggested for a TV5 newscast. "I don't want to wait! That's the thing about the news on all the channels", said the Uncle. "Just show me what's now", he requested. Meteorologist John Nodar "makes a promise he can't keep and that what keeps his credibility", said the Uncle. "He just goes 'well there is a pretty good chance of it (rain)' and he's right!" said the Uncle. "Don't make me sit there and wait through five stories about sexual predators and that's what basically the news is nowadays", said the Uncle, who believes some folks "babysitting their grandchild" press the mute button on their TV set or remote control during such news. After our next caller joined the show, "Long time, no talk to you, Tom", said the Uncle. "I just want to tell you that India has been outsourcing their horns", said Tom. "You are a professional musician, correct?" the Uncle asked. "I guess so", Tom responded. "I'm glad that we're getting some Americans take some Indians out", said the Uncle. "I had some guy come over to my house hooking up an HDTV set (receiver) to my television", said Tom, who was amazed that he receives TV5's digital sub-channel with a radar. "That is absolutely outstanding. What about Alan Sealls, is he on it?" said the Uncle. "No, just the radar", said Tom. "I am envious of you", said the Uncle. "If I want my satellite company to give me the HD, I have to pay $300", said the Uncle, who would get "the receiver with the recorder". "You probably don't need an antenna around here", said Tom, who is in Mississippi. "They say I have to pay $10 a month for HD", said the Uncle, who doesn't mind that since he believes the price will go way. "Everyone will have it", our host predicts for high definition television. "I want to buy a new power washer so I can scrape the grime in front of my house", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller, who responded to caller Henry. "He mentioned-he missed there were a lot of crimes and killings", said the caller. "Always a pleasure to get in and talk to you", said our next caller John. "You know, Uncle Henry, when I grew up", said John, who remembers a moral society from that time. "You know I had a switch or belt on me", said John, who is proud to say he never went to jail after that. "I love the Lord and I love what's right", said John, who mentioned his wife and children. "I agree, we don't beat the crud out of the kid and send him to a hospital, but we don't have boundaries anymore", said John. "It's the parents fault and it's the government's fault", according to John. "I know the kind of guy you are and I respect you more than you know", said John near the end of his call. "A lot of parents don't believe in spanking. I don't mind that, as long as you say what you mean", said the Uncle. "A consequence means something to them", he said about young children. "Several of them would do what I tell them and I wouldn't do any butt whoopings", said the Uncle. "The only thing that got their attention was a pop to the butt", he continued. "If you didn't teach them, the world will", our host said before the break. After a few seconds of "dead air", the show resumed for the final whirlwind segment. "Uncle Henry Show continues. Mike Sloan news coming in about 10 minutes. It's going to be good!" said the Uncle, who also promoted the radio program "Ask the Expert" following his show. In continuing to discuss to USA's presidential race, "I understand that Hillary Clinton's talking about-she wants to take government money and put it into people's 401K plans", said the Uncle, who doesn't find this idea any different from the time her husband William Clinton was president. "I understand that you want to buy a power washer", said our next caller Joe, who asked our host about his house's exterior, which is brick. "I'm a professional painter and any of my customers would tell you not to power wash painted services", said Joe. "You're ok, man, and I was just wanted to make sure because [power washers] and painted services do not mix", said Joe. "I'm taking my time on my purchase", said the Uncle, who "likes to buy them for the cheapest price possible" with cash. "Hello there, Uncle Henry. Roll Tide Roll!" said our next caller Franklin, who wants to respond to caller John. "I'd like to say this about the City of Mobile: Have you ever heard of the city Montpelier, Vermont?" said Franklin, who "heard somewhere" that it's the only socialist city in the USA. "You can see that many cities are headed in that direction, Franklin", said the Uncle after our caller said Mobile is headed in that direction. "I thank you and I hope you have a good rest of the day", said Franklin. Our next caller Ed offered his services to wash the exterior of our host's home. "My company will not allow me to accept things like that", said the Uncle, who thanked Ed for the nice offer. "Pray and read your Bible!" our host said in a hurry to end the show.

"More Like It" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you for continuing to listen to the show. I tell you what, Bill, first a nervous breakdown doctor", said the Uncle, who has advice for the fellow whose voice message was played on the air. "My advice to you is clergy and Dr. Hurly", said the Uncle before speaking to another fellow named Bill by telephone. "You've got some knuckleheads on your show", said Bill after listening to reaction to yesterday's elections in Mobile County for a steel mill incentives package and a county commissioner. "People and I don't like to generalize, some people are just negative", said Bill. "People in this town should start looking out for other people", Bill suggested. "People graduate from the south for years that leave the state", said Bill. "Start with the other generation, they need good jobs", Bill added. "Yes, I agree that politicians are terrible, that's why they give Congress 50% approval rating", said Bill, who believes in looking out for other people. Our next caller Tim's question was about the Mobile County Commission. "Do they want that landfill to put everybody's junk in?" Tim asked. "I didn't know you could put junk in a hole", said the Uncle. "I've got a journal", said Tim, who surprised our host. "If that gentleman would want to start worrying about other people," said Tim, "he ought to team up with Fred Richardson". "I was called names, I was called a heretic", Tim claimed. "Why would they call you a heretic?" our host asked before Tim added "false prophet" to the names. "I was told that Fred Richardson did, but that doesn't bother me", said Tim, claiming the councilman called him a "false prophet". "Can you do me a favor?" Tim asked, "Start using the phrase from time to time like they use on the ballot a little bit more". "Maybe you write a letter to himself taking up to me", said Tim. "What you need, Tim, is the get someone from a different government body", said the Uncle, who suggested writing the school board or newly elected county commissioner Merceria Ludgood. "That's a double leash", Tim said about Merceria Ludgood. "We care, Henry!" Tim said in response to the voice message caller Bill. "I never heard Nodine (county commissioner) tell us about the language (of the steel mill incentives) from time to time", according to Tim. "I'll holler at you later", said Tim before leaving us. "A false prophet according to Fred Richardson. I'd like to hear that", said the Uncle, who asked listener "Jim in Saraland" if he gets cable TV service from Comcast Cablevision of Mobile, which provides the Mobile City Council meetings on the leased access TV channel Port City 6. "Go nowhere", the Uncle told his audience before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It's 9:20. (251) 479-2723", said the Uncle. "Good morning, hello there", he said to the next caller Lee. "I heard that they are thinking about and I don't know who 'they' are", said Lee, who was speaking about a rumored housing project on Howell's Ferry Road in the Mobile region. "[That's] what I'm hearing right now and if you could put that on the list of things to ask Steve Nodine", said Lee. "I never heard that", said the Uncle before attempting to speak to caller Melba. "Lost Melba. Melba, Melba, Melba", said the Uncle, who would explain why he repeatedly said "Melba". "I said that because I don't think we ever had Melba on the show", he explained before speaking to our next on-air caller Glenn. "There's more than just conservative and liberal. There are all kinds of-there are as many opinions as there are people", our host told Glenn, who shared his experience listening to the radio network Air America, which has no station in south Alabama. "Well, when it comes to TV and radio and other things of media, the stuff that is available in general is because people want it and that's just about it", said the Uncle. "Were you on the radio when they had the Fairness Doctrine?" Glenn asked our host. "Yes", the Uncle answered. "One of the reasons you don't have it so radio could be viable", our host mentioned about the Fairness Doctrine. "That's one of the reasons people say AM radio didn't fall off the face of the planet because of Rush Limbaugh", said Glenn before leaving us. "On the topic of AM radio, yes, AM radio is in trouble", said the Uncle. "People have figured out that music sounds better on FM", said the Uncle, who acknowledged one Gospel music station in Mobile he had in mind (WGOK or WLVV). "People saw the results of that and you got imitators popping up across the country", our host recalls about the Limbaugh program's outcome. "The number of people who could participate in those shows skyrocketed" as a result of cellular phones, said the Uncle. "I don't think the Fairness Doctrine is something that will be coming back full force", said the Uncle. "Why are there so many country music stations? It's because people like it", said the Uncle, who compared that question to this: "Why are there a bunch of conservatives [on the air]?"

After listening to a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. And Brad, I'm sure you're glad to be an American. You're free to hold your beliefs. The weird part of your voice, you say [you] enjoy hearing people shooting the bird", said the Uncle. "Bare with me, I want to hear this", our host told listeners before replaying the voice message. "You must be happy be in America. You must love this country. I hope you do", said the Uncle after hearing Brad's "dream of hearing people talk about shooting the bird". "There will be a day where you will know", said the Uncle, whose seemingly unfinished sentence was followed by his next caller Chuck. "Taking you back into time, if you will", Chuck told our host. "Anyhow, what can I say, where are we going to-I know where we're going to get the money now", said Chuck, who was referring to the steel mill incentives before leaving us. "And on that matter, all we can really do is remember the words of wisdom dispensed by Fred Richardson", said the Uncle before playing the Mobile City Council audio clip. "That is pretty good", said the Uncle, who might keep a journal of such "words of wisdom". Our next caller Robin thanked the Uncle for realizing the possibilities the steel mill incentive package can have on Mobile County. "You hear a lot of people that don't buy into it", said the Uncle. "They need to think in the long term and not the short term", said Robin. "It's what we needed for so many years", said the Uncle. "We need more like it", said Robin before leaving us. Listeners were reminded about another project coming to the Mobile region. "I should not use the word NASCAR, should I? The racetrack", said the Uncle. A couple of pieces of electronic mail were mentioned on the air. "One of them is a very long letter to the editor and I enjoyed reading it", said the Uncle, who might post the article online at the radio station's website. The other electronic mail contains a computer game of some kind. "I don't like computer games and I'm from a different era. I know children today, they love it", said the Uncle. "I'm not someone who could do a game and be a person in the game", said the Uncle, who won't even try a sports electronic video game, such as the one his nephew gave. "I couldn't even make heads or tails of it", he said about the game. "Let's talk to Wayne. Hello Wayne", said the Uncle. "I'm excited about not enough people coming to the election", said Wayne. "Now there are a few people in Baldwin County and Mobile County that don't have an education", according to Wayne. "I don't think anybody has any question or knew anything about it", Wayne said about some local residents after the election and outcome. "I can't argue that point. I think the people that were for it and against it knew what was going to happen", said the Uncle, who was shocked that Merceria Ludgood's opponent and former county commissioner Juan Chastang "got as many votes" as he did. "People vote with their feet, not-they have the ability to choose", said our next caller, who explained the Fairness Doctrine using a concert analogy. "You are way more articulate than I am today", said the Uncle. "You may need to fill in for me on occasion", our host suggested. After the final break for today, "Uncle Henry Show continues. News coming up in about 10 minutes", said the Uncle, who reminded listeners about the "good Mike Sloan news" and "the life and times of Scott O'Brien" on "Ask the Expert" following his show. "A judge has ruled that Al Gore's movie, 'An Inconvenient Truth', requires guidance notes when shown in school", said the Uncle, who asked himself whether or not the movie won an Academy Award for best documentary. "So they're protecting their children in England and Wales from this movie and I think this is the example we should follow in this country", said the Uncle, who is amazed at the kinds of movies shown at school. "I had one nephew say he watched 'Singin' in the Rain' in high school", said the Uncle, who would expect a movie about "the result of a car wreck" or something health related shown in school. They don't need to have any kind of movie whatsoever in the schools", said the Uncle, who listed a couple of popular movies he can think of, since he rarely goes to a movie theater. "Harry Potter, there's one", said the Uncle. "Sit and learn practice being quiet", our host strongly suggested for school students. "Instead of watching Mary Poppins or Harry Potter or whatever they are showing", said the Uncle, who insisted on students 'do something quietly". "I agree with you whole heartedly about the kids today", said our next caller, who wanted to speak about a former mayor of Prichard, Alabama. "We are not getting a whole lot in Baldwin County by him", said the caller, who attended a state senate candidates debate yesterday. "They had some good people serve in office in Prichard over the years. It's just been a very difficult situation", said the Uncle. "It's hard for me to make a judgement. I did not live there", said the Uncle, who understands the former mayor was popular among some people. "Remember to pray and read that Bible closely", said the Uncle at the end of today's show.

"Dry Spell" - TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you for continuing to listen. First hour was outstanding. If you were unable to tune in, you need to listen to the 'podcast' ", said the Uncle. "All ready into the e-mail box during Mike Sloan's excellent newscast", said the Uncle, who read some electronic mail with jokes about Hillary Clinton, candidate for president of the USA. In response to listener Bill's recorded message about camping at a cemetery, "I think it's a waste of time. You're not going to-when you're there, once you're in there for good, more or less, you're not going to really care about the surroundings unless you like camping out", said the Uncle. "Back to the phones! Let's talk to Wayne", said the Uncle. "They need to make that $5000 bond retro like the Forties and Fifties", Wayne suggested. "They need to get a bigger tax cut", said the Uncle. "If my grandchild gets $5000 and some poor family-like I'm rich, I'm [actually] middle class", said Wayne, who believes the money would not make a difference. After Wayne left us, "Outstanding phone call. Coming in here, like him or not. Harold Dodge has been touted as very popular among the citizenry", said the Uncle, who compared the outgoing school board superintendent to Johnny Carson handing "The Tonight Show" over to Jay Leno. "Did you see where some lady wrote a special to the paper about sex toys?" our next caller Tim asked. "I had to read it because I couldn't believe some of the things she put in there", said Tim. "That paper is rated G right?" he asked our host, who believes the newspaper should compare to the rating issued by the Motion Picture Association of America. "I can't remember what I voted with last time. I've got a hunting license", Tim said on this election day in Mobile County. "I haven't been there yet", Tim said about his nearest voting precinct, "but I've seen it (the ballot)". "Have you seen that-the language in it?" Tim asked our host, who has yet to see the ballot. "Practice reading before you go", Tim suggested. "If you vote no, then it will be a one time thing", said Tim. "I'm still getting some backlash for this Ludacris", our caller mentioned in reference to his complaint before the Mobile City Council about the singer performing at the music festival BayFest. "What I'm saying is it's a smoke screen, Uncle Henry, you go down there, do your own clean version", Tim said about the experience of speaking at the Mobile City Council. "Let's talk to Nick. Hello Nick", said the Uncle, who can hear our caller "loud and clear". "It's really beautiful over here this morning", Nick said about his location before describing what he's read in today's "Business" section of the Press-Register. "Let's talk to Mike. Hello Mike", said the Uncle. "Uncle Henry, never better", said Mike, who had a "Roll Tide" for our host. "I ain't real quick, but did a miss something?" Mike asked after learning that he has to be in uniform as a volunteer of the Mitchell Company in Mobile. "Look, I'm volunteering", said Mike. "I'm not sure about this-they want all their volunteers to be in uniform, huh", said the Uncle, who suggests a nametag. "I have to pay $50 to get a uniform", said Mike, who repeated that he's not quick. After Mike left us, "Maybe he had to go turn in that application or something, but maybe they want people to be pretty as possible during TV coverage", said the Uncle. After the break for commercials and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. It's 9:23 at NewsRadio 710. Mike Sloan news is approaching", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller C. J. "We have $10,000 of façade grants in certain areas of Mobile", said C. J., who was "unable to get one of those façade grants" for a business he owned in downtown Mobile. "Today, I guess you notice on 3B in today's paper there is a front page ad about this 'ThyssenKrump' ", said C. J., who made the common mispronunciation of the German-based steel company ThyssenKrupp, which proposed a steel mill for Mobile County. "Well, you can call it a bond issue or anything, but taxes is taxes", C. J. said about the ThyssenKrupp incentive package up for votes today. "You're leaning toward a 'no vote' ", said the Uncle. "There's a whole lot of this that is not being told", said C. J. "I talked to an engineer from Mercedes way back when at a supermarket in Baldwin County", said C. J., who asked why his automobile company was coming to Alabama. "I'm all for jobs and everything, but I don't know why we have to send these people all this money", said C. J. "Actually the Wright Brothers flew in Ohio seven years before they went to Kitty Hawk (North Carolina)", one caller said continuing the discussion of who was first in human flight. "Actually, the Wright Brothers are the first in flight, but just moved to Kitty Hawk because it was visual", said the caller, who added safety reasons for the move. "I want to thank you for that. That is very interesting", said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Uncle Henry Show continues", said the Uncle before responding to another recorded message, this time it was about the Mobile County district attorney. "The thing is if I were to bring John Tyson, Jr. on, John Tyson, Jr. fights crime and people might not to want to ask", our host explained. "I want to thank you for the Hillary Clinton jokes you sent me in", said the Uncle, who told listeners that the jokes were not off color. "The Press-Register reports from the 'Metro/Region' section that the City of Mobile might borrow $61 million" for various reasons, said the Uncle. "Did they just go through the budget process?" our host asked. "Why couldn't none of this be edged into the budget process? What was the point in-my ignorance plays", said the Uncle. "Maybe you could have just fit some of this in", our host wonders about city projects such as road pavement. "If you want to do things for these areas, that's nice, you promised you would do some of these things", said the Uncle, who reminded listeners about the taxes to be collected after November 1st in the recently annexed area of West Mobile. "Why don't you wait until you've collected enough money in section A before you start doing these things?" our host asked. "Have you all ready spent that money?" he asked about the budget. "I'm baffled by this, I can't understand", said the Uncle, who once again used the word 'ignorance' to describe himself. "I could never go into politics because I'd be waiting to do that" with the budget, said the Uncle. "If you would like to be able to call the Uncle Henry Show and the show is not on, you can call the voice mail", said the Uncle. "It is 9:45. Yesterday I talked about Hillary Clinton on the show for the first time in many months", said the Uncle, who is "still very anger" about the presidential candidate's new adviser Samuel "Sandy" Berger. "But now, yesterday, I got started paying attention to the presidential race for the first time because of the Sandy Berger story", said the Uncle. "I might have to talk about her everyday day from now until the election", said the Uncle. "I have to ponder this, I have to ponder over the weekend whether I have to do that every singing day", said the Uncle. "Yesterday I was wondering for you if she's going to be [more] herself", said the Uncle. "There's a story in the front of USA Today", said the Uncle, who described the story as saying, "Hillary Clinton has decided to strip from her husband's opinion about NASA". "Bill Clinton irritated labor unions about NASA", our host recalls. "She-she says she want to reevaluate NASA", our host learned about the presidential candidate. "Now, what this means, even though the story is she's being different from Bill Clinton", said the Uncle. "The real story is she's being just like Bill Clinton and I'll tell you why: You see, the hallmark of the Bill Clinton administration" was the reliance on public opinion polls. "That's Bill Clinton in a nutshell", said the Uncle. "She could just say anything she wants to when she runs for president", said the Uncle. "It is 9:50 and the whirlwind segment of the program is next", said the Uncle before the break for commercials. After the final break for today, "This is the Uncle Henry Show. We have 'Ask the Expert' with Dr. Stewart Ball! He's a real expert!" said the Uncle, who anticipates this radio program and "The Rush Limbaugh Show", which he believes is being monitored by investigators from the Senate in Washington, D.C. "Let's talk to James. Hello James", said the Uncle. "We live in a republic, we elect representatives and I prefer to elect representatives who keep their principles", said the Uncle. "Look, I don't understand what you're talking about", our host told James. "You don't agree with the poll", said James, making himself clear. Actually, our host doesn't agree with public servants "following the poll". "Look, God bless you, I hope you have a wonderful day. I'm glad you're listening", said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Henry, who is enjoying his birthday sitting on his front porch thanking God he resides in the USA in spite of some public servants. "These children have gotten into office. All these 1960s-1960s hippie generation", said the Uncle. "Outstanding phone call to end on", said the Uncle after wishing Henry a happy birthday.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


"Uncle Henry Show continues on this beautiful Monday. Thank you very much for continuing to listen to this show", said the Uncle, who reminded listeners how to contact him telephonically and electronically. "Good morning. Hello there", our host said to the unidentified caller, who wanted to "take up for Hillary" Clinton, a candidate for president of the USA. "I hope she gets elected, I really do, because that would be the greatest thing for the Republican Party", said the caller. "Do you think she will be more left wing than her husband was? Because people liked him so much that they elected him twice", said the Uncle. "I just don't have a lot of trust in a whole lot of politicians", said the caller, who understands that his statement was "broad and unfair" previously. "I agree, Uncle Henry, the fun hasn't even started", said the caller. "The Democratic Party is going to implode. You just wait and see", the caller predicts. "I just don't know what it is about her, she just doesn't seem to have a conscious", said the caller, who finds the candidate "scary". "A lot of people don't know that he upset some people on the far left", our host recalls about William Clinton as president. Our host predicts that if she becomes president, she was "just play possum for a while". "No doubt she is a very smart person", said the caller. "Politics today is not like what it used to be", said the caller. "You go back to Nixon too, there was scandal there", said the caller, referring to another president and his administration. "They just tend to forget what's really going on", said the caller before leaving us. "Sooner or later, we're going to have to", the Uncle responded. "Having Sandy Berger involved in her campaign is revealed in one of the campaign publications", said the Uncle. "Looks like Clinton as usual", according to our host before the next caller, who was identified. "Good morning, sir! Gary", said the Uncle. "I was just absolutely flabbergasted at what I saw at BayFest this weekend. I saw you", said Gary, who made the claim of seeing our host disguised as Hillary Clinton. Our host thanked Gary for his call as he ended it. "I guarantee I was the oldest person at the Ludacris concert", said the Uncle, who saw another person close to his age "limp out" of the area. "How about another revelation on the news I didn't hear about", said our next caller, who actually has this revelation about tomorrow's vote on the incentive package for the ThyssenKrupp steel mill in Mobile County. "This thing is rigged. I thought we were going to vote on something tomorrow", said the caller. "They're going to get the money out of our pocket one way or another", the caller believes. "So you're not in favor of the money for ThyssenKrupp?" the Uncle asked. "Do you think the county at all should be involved in this?" he added. "I don't see this going to happen to anyone", said the caller, whom our host disagrees with and believes in the economic impact of the incentive package. "Let's talk to C. J. Hello C. J.", said the Uncle. "What I really called about is BayFest", said C. J., who read the newspaper headline "BayFest Ends on a High", with "high" as the "operative word" for certain participants at this past weekend's music festival. "We're the ones who's really subsidizing this", said C. J., speaking as a taxpayer. "I remember back in early '91 there were three sections of Mobile [County] annexed", said C. J. "If you've got enough money, you can probably challenge anything in the courts", said C. J. "Keep in mind, the mayor has the highest rated approval rating", said the Uncle, who read the approval rating article in Sunday's newspaper. Before the beak for commercials, "You're listening to NewsRadio 710. It is 9:20", said the Uncle. After the break and a voice message, "Uncle Henry Show continues. News coming up in just a few minutes", said the Uncle. "It's Columbus Day (unofficial)! Lot's of sails", said the Uncle, who finds the Mobile region calm unlike this past Saturday's Columbus Day parade in Denver, Colorado. "Now listen to this: It says police arrested 83 Columbus Day protestors", said the Uncle, reading the newspaper story. "So the people that do the Columbus Day parade in Denver", said the Uncle, who said, "They're not even bunking at" the protest. "The protestors say that Columbus was a slave trader who touched off years of genocide", said the Uncle. "If there is a holiday, people are going to be protesting for some reason", according to our host. "People don't like the names of holidays, people don't like the names of holidays", said the Uncle, who predicts that after his death ("and your children are going to deal with this") there will be no official holidays. "I can't think of any holiday that hasn't had some measure of protest", said the Uncle. "I'm glad we've got a calm measure here where people don't throw the dismembered heads of baby dolls", said the Uncle, referring to the Denver protest. "All right, Uncle Henry Show continues! More conversation, more to discuss", said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

"Very expensive, times have changed", said the Uncle, responding to a voice message which mentioned the price of football tickets past and present. "Uncle Henry Show continues", our host said once again, along with the contact information. "You may not have your thoughts together, yet", said the Uncle as he reminded listeners about the number to leave a recorded message, voice message, or voice mail. "They just gave the number (251 706-2855), the only word it spelled is 'bull' ", said the Uncle, who just wants folks to remember the number. "Very comforting to have the voice mail, because you can talk to the Uncle Henry Show anytime, even on one of those holidays people protest", said the Uncle. "If you missed that earlier, Sandy Berger that stole secret documents", said the Uncle. "He is now advising the Hillary Clinton campaign", said the Uncle, who is now "paying attention" to the presidential election after this development. "Jenna Bush says she hears voices when she stays at the White House overnight. This is in Texas Monthly Magazine", said the Uncle. "I have heard ghosts, I really have" is the "direct quote" of the current president's daughter. "Nothing worse than a ghost is a ghost singing opera, either that or seeing Alice in Chains", said the Uncle, who was referring to the BayFest performer. "I don't think you're crazy", said the Uncle, "maybe you're hearing a radio". "I've lived in homes where sound will travel", the Uncle recalls. "Maybe the White House staff has the radio on and it's traveling the air vent or something", said the Uncle. "I would be willing to bet that over the years that they have had all kinds of problems like that", said the Uncle, who suggested getting some pastors to rid the White House of any demon. "I'd be glad to sleep in that room and debunk it", said the Uncle. "Uncle Henry, can you hear me?" our next caller Tim asked while on the road in Baldwin County, east of Mobile Bay. "You found a long stretch of road that's still there?" the Uncle asked. "Did you say Jenna Bush heard goats or ghosts?" Tim asked. "Listen, I didn't get the chance to read Sunday's paper", said Tim, who asked if there is "anything worth reading" or should he just skip it. Our host suggested the article about the costs of BayFest. "As a county and a city, they are going to do what they can for the project and enhance it", Tim said the future ThyssenKrupp steel mill. "Lot of times we get things like this to come in on a foreign level and we don't know what's too much. Can you hear me?" said Tim. "Let's talk to George. Hello George", said the Uncle. "Uncle Henry, I would like to take this opportunity to declare October 9th Charles Jackson and John Thowler Day, who made the first flight in Mobile, Alabama", said George, who wishes other folks would talk about the two fellows and state officials would recognize them. "I don't know the answer", said the Uncle, who responding to George's question of why they are not recognized. "Let's talk to Mildred. Hello Mildred", said the Uncle. "I've been calling your show for ages", said Mildred. "Now Hillary has a problem. Everybody tells me, the democrats, says they're going to vote democrat", said Mildred. "I used to vote democrat because that's all they had in the south", she remembers. "Now we have to choose between the parties. Remember Graddick who was elected governor because they had a cross-over vote?" said Mildred. "I believe in doing what you're saying is right. Let's educate people about the independent vote", said Mildred. "Thank you very much [for] another time", said Mildred before leaving us. Our host appreciates Mildred as a listener. After the final break for today and a voice message about football, "Young man, young man it's entertainment. It's like when you go sing your heavy metal music, like Alice in Chains", said the Uncle. "It's the same as watching ballet, it's the same like watching something like that", said the Uncle. "Maybe you watch movies for entertainment, like um-[what movie] that's been out in the last several years. I can't even think of a movie", said the Uncle. "Let's talk to Glenn. Hello Glenn", said the Uncle. "This is really good news for the Clinton campaign", said Glenn after hearing about Sandy Berger. "For her to hire someone like this is going to be a real positive for her campaign", said Glenn. "If Sandy Berger was a republican, what federal prison would he [reside] in?" Glenn asked. "Trey Lane, the call screener during the commercial break let me know if the White House has some kind of ghost stories", said the Uncle, who learned about the White House having a website about ghosts. "You see now that really offends me, ghosts", said the Uncle. "They really need to get some pastors out there", our host believes. "I don't buy it for a minute", said the Uncle. "Do they sell White House ghosts books, do they sell White House ghost CDs", our host asked. As the show comes to an end, "Leave the voice mail message, someone will hear it. Numerous people go through the voice mail", said the Uncle. "Dr. Byron Scott coming up on 'Ask the Expert' ", said the Uncle, giving listeners information about the radio program with station program director Scott O'Brien and the local dentist.
