“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:05, five minutes after 9:00”, said the Uncle as an alarm sound effect plays in the background, drowning out the show’s regular bumper music. “Beginning this hour is the Freddie alert. The Freddie alert system has been activated”, said the Uncle. The sound effect looped after the telephone numbers for listeners were given out. “Here he is, Freddie”, the Uncle announced. “You know exactly what I’m talking about”, said the Uncle, “You know exactly what I’m talking about. Just for your knowledge, the phrase ‘thrown under the bus’ used in American conversation, the meaning of the phrase is sacrificing someone else for your own personal gain”. “It’s very difficult talking to you”, our host believes. “I do want to talk to you”, said Freddie. “Are you endorsing (Mobile County Commissioner) Mike Dean?” the Uncle asked Freddie, who said, “Yes”. “If I want for the rest of my life, these oil prices are not coming down”, said Freddie. “We can’t bring them down when they have us under control like that, Henry”, Freddie continued. After Freddie reminded our host about his idea of running for mayor of Mobile in 2005, “I decided to drop out of the race, yes”, said the Uncle. “You have some of the weakest callers who call over and over”, said Freddie. “You’re their leader”, he added. “I’m their leader?” the Uncle asked. “He worships you at your feat, Uncle Henry”, Freddie said about the frequent caller Jim the Tax Man. “Look, I appreciate your call in a way, but today is special because I got you to endorse Mike Dean”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Bill. “I would be a national host if I was ‘Hanky’ instead of Uncle Henry”, the Uncle told Bill. “Uncle Hanky, I really enjoy your program and Freddie is on the button on a lot of issues”, said Bill, who hesitated briefly before calling our host “Uncle Hanky” again. “Take care, Henry”, he said before leaving us. “[We] start this hour with two rather unusual [phone] calls”, said the Uncle, who now feels sorry for Mike Dean after caller Freddie’s endorsement. “You know, I’d pass on that ‘Uncle Hanky’ ”, said our next caller Happy, who was reminded of the animated TV series “South Park”. “What are you doing watching ‘South Park’?” the Uncle asked Happy, who doesn’t watch the show, but heard about “Uncle Hanky” from his daughter in Louisiana. “I don’t know what that means, but I’ll take your word for it”, said the Uncle. “Folks ought to dig out the history of this city”, said Happy, who “loves it here”. “Thank you very much, Happy, always in a good mood”, said the Uncle before speaking to caller George. “Mobile is a wonderful place to live”, said George, who agrees with our previous caller Happy. Before taking a break for commercials and two promotions in a row for WKRG-TV5’s news investigations, “Uncle Henry Show continues here in NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It is 9:22”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Linda. Hello Linda, good morning”, he said to our next caller. “I wanted to talk you this morning about the Supreme Court decision yesterday (in Indiana)”, said Linda. “I think this is an excellent vindication of how strong the court is”, said Linda, who finds one of the candidates for the presidency of the USA “dangerous”. “If he can’t choose a pastor, he can’t choose a Supreme Court justice”, said Linda. “I thank you for the wonderful job you do every morning”, she told our host before leaving us. “What we had people trying to do is exempt the stimulus tax so there isn’t a tax”, the Uncle told our next caller Curtis. “Another thing I want to talk about is the snakes”, said Curtis. “Most of these snakes are not dangerous, they’re harmless”, Curtis continued. “All right, there are snakes that you love?” the Uncle asked. “Yes, sir”, said Curtis, whose favorite snake is called “the hog nose”. “They are really, really strong snakes and they can tear a rattlesnake apart”, according to Curtis. “You’ve been a wonderful fountain of wisdom, Curtis”, said the Uncle. “I will remain a snake killer”, he declared. “I have an immediate reaction toward them. I remember a few years ago we had a bunch of these guys come into the studio with rattlesnakes for this rattlesnake round up”, said the Uncle. “The whole reason for it was for people listening to the radio to hear rattlesnakes”, said the Uncle, who would rather use a tape recording of rattlesnakes. “We have a new web page, NewsRadio710.com”, said the Uncle. “A better looking website, so NewsRadio710.com better looking website”, said the Uncle, who told listeners to wait a couple of days for the web page to be available online, but reminded listeners that they come to his website “later today”.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:07, seven minutes after 9:00. Beautiful day in progress in the Mobile region”, said the Uncle before reminding listeners how to call in. “Let’s talk to Jean. Hello Jean”, he said to our first caller this hour. “I wanted to talk to you about this [Reverend Wright]”, said Jean, who wants “to hear some more comments about it”. “I’m doing good, how about you?” said our next caller Tim, also known as Sam Marston IV, who asked our host if he’s seen Saturday’s newspaper article reporting some local arrests. “I don’t understand the appeal of the hoodies (jackets), they are everywhere now”, said the Uncle. “You can get them anywhere now, it’s just a joke”, said Tim. “I wonder if there’s a scientific principle of perpetual taxation”, said the Uncle before the caller played some online audio of a church sermon over the air. “All right, look, Tim, thank you. I’m getting a headache from this stuff”, said the Uncle. “I don’t think I can take more of this stuff. It’s just tense—it’s just tense is what it is to listen to that stuff”, said the Uncle, who doesn’t recall sermons “ending up like that”. “Different from what I’m used to”, he said before speaking to our next caller Kasey. “Kasey!” the Uncle shouted before she joined us. “Isn’t that something just reminisce of (Adolf) Hitler?” Kasey asked. “He’s preaching hate for heaven’s sake”, said Kasey, who asked, “Where is the separation of church and state?” “There is none”, the Uncle answered. “He’s a rabble rouser”, Kasey said about the preacher. “I don’t know why he has a following. You go to church to be churchly fed”, said Kasey. “I don’t know about a specific comparison to any other figure in history”, said the Uncle. “It’s pure, unadulterated emotion”, according to our host. “Now that he’s getting all this attention, he’s going on this speaking tour”, the Uncle continued. “We’re going to be hearing more from him in the next few days, I’m sure”, he said before our next caller Gene. “Look, I think you’re making some excellent points here”, the Uncle told Gene, “but I’m hearing an animal”. “He’s playing with a squeaky toy”, Gene said about his dog, which sounded like a bird squawking according to our host’s ears. “Tim, please don’t ever, don’t ever play that stuff at me ever again. You made me tense, you made me very tense”, said the Uncle, whose tension was eased by the dog’s chew toy. “Uncle Henry Show continues”, he said before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Yes, it’s ridiculous that the Legislature would come after the stimulant check”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Robert. Hello Robert”, he said to our next caller. “Roll Tide, Uncle Henry”, said Robert, who used the Alabama Crimson Tide battle cry. “They’re going to need this money and they want to tax [us]”, Robert said about the state. “Tax and spend, tax and spend, tax and spend, and that’s why we’re in the trouble we’re in now”, Robert continued. “Uncle Henry, I’ve got to go. Thank you very much for your time”, he said before leaving us. “Let’s talk to John. Hello John”, said the Uncle. “I stayed up and watched the Reverend Wright speak”, said John, who is interested in hearing certain callers speak, since the fellow’s audience was mostly black. “He spent a lot of time speaking about a study [conducted] by some college” years ago, said John.

“Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you very much for that all”, said the Uncle after hearing another listener’s recorded message. “It further reduces tensions”, he said before giving listeners the number to leave recorded messages. “Wait, I was calling to see if you can get someone to interpret your voice mail call”, said our next caller Cutt. “I am always open to caller interpretation from other callers”, said the Uncle. “Thank you very much, Cutt, to hear from you today”, he said before speaking to caller Bobby. “I had no idea that bowling could become so expensive”, Bobby said about his most recent bowling experience after many years without one. “It’s just for a family of four”, he said. “Everything now costs a lot more than it used to. Everything. I’m sure there are a few exceptions to that”, said the Uncle, who has not bowled “in many, many years. Maybe 20 years”. “I own a retail store and I tell you I am absolutely appalled at what those people have to pay for a dab gum Coke”, said Greg. “I thought the guy was absolutely crazy”, he admitted to thinking about a previous caller. “Let’s talk to Jim. Hello Jim”, said the Uncle. “I’m calling in response to the bill in Montgomery to take a portion of the stimulus check”, said Jim, who said the bill that was actually proposed is to “exempt this check” for taxpayers. “I think that people will be very appreciative that legislators are trying to exempt their stimulus check”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller. “If you want campaign signs and you want the taxpayers to pay for them, put them on blue (garbage) cans”, the caller suggested as “a side note”. “Let’s talk to Vaughn. Hello Vaughn”, said the Uncle after hearing the previous caller’s “shocking thought” about campaign signs. “I think the biggest crisis right now is energy independence, yeah, we’re giving it a good name like the Soviet Union (did)”, said Vaughn. “They don’t want us to have the gas to run the machines. This is crazy”, he said before leaving us. “This has been a very full Monday (show)”, said the Uncle before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Just remember that it’s a perception that you have crime”, said the Uncle, who was responding to the recorded message. “You know, why are they charging going (up) on the price until they should run out of gas before going up on the price”, our next caller Glenn said about price gauging. “Why aren’t they doing it now? It’s something to think about”, he said before leaving us. “Let’s talk to another Glenn. Hello Glenn”, said the Uncle. “Anybody that is selling Coke, carbonated soft drink or whatever flavor” is making a 50-cent profit, said Glenn. “So if they’re selling a plastic cup of Coca Cola for $12, they are making a tremendous amount of money”, said the Uncle. “As far as the taxes are concerned”, said Glenn, “all my oldest children live in Ohio” where 50% of the stimulus check will be taken before the state. After our host guessed “democrats” as the folks running half the state of Ohio, “Bingo, you win the prize! You win a free shirt!” said Glenn before leaving us. “If we want to lower gas prices, we need the government to stop subsidizing ethanol”, said our next caller Michael. “It takes 400 pounds of corn to make” 25 gallons of ethanol, said Michael. “Actually, several (good) calls in a row”, our host said about the last few calls to the show. “You kind of put a nice conclusion to that fault”, the Uncle told our last caller Mark, “letting us know that it’s the Disney (on Ice) vendors and our own” people who are at fault. “I wonder what the political leanings of Pink Floyd are?” the Uncle asked after sharing some news with listeners and the show’s call screener Trey Lane. “So an Obama pig (by Pink Floyd)? Obama’s got it going on”, he said about the candidate for the presidency of the USA. “When you’re in doubt, read your Bible”, the Uncle reminded listeners at the end of the show.

“Uncle Henry Show continues. What a beautiful, beautiful Friday. We have some clouds in the sky, 72 degrees”, said the Uncle before reminding listeners how to call in. “We discussed numerous things today, the evening legislation that was destroyed in the Alabama Legislature”, he said before speaking to this hour’s first caller Therese. “I would like to remind your listeners that this Thursday (May 1st) is the National Day of Prayer”, said Therese. “I would like to invite all your listeners downtown if you could”, she said. “The Lord used to call people together as Christians, you know”, Therese mentioned. “Very much so, yes”, the Uncle responded. “It’s going to be a real nice event downtown”, said Therese, who mentioned refreshments. “We’re going to have music and drama”, Therese added. “We’re going to pray for the government, the military, family”, she continued. “Is there going to be like little skits or something?” the Uncle asked about the “drama”. “It’s going to be God’s version of MTV”, Therese said about the “youth group” dramas. “Call during the day from the prayer or call from it”, the Uncle suggested. After Therese left us, “It’s 9:09, activating the Freddie alert system”, said the Uncle, who informed listeners that if “you are driving down the road” don’t pull over because of the alarm sound effect. “He just held a press conference this morning! It was on the news! It was on this station!” the Uncle shouted to Freddie about G. W. Bush. “What is about the money that he’s giving us back?” Freddie asked in reference to tax rebate checks. “Gasoline prices pay for all these thoroughfares”, Freddie continued. “All right, I apologize for that (laughter). That was just—kind of like a snowball that went downhill and I ended up getting creamed by it”, said the Uncle. “Is there any point in rebutting any of it?” he asked about Freddie’s call. “There has been some really wild calls this morning. As a matter of fact—I forgot what I called about”, said our next caller. After the first break for commercials and a voice message, “Ok, Uncle Henry Show”, said the Uncle before responding to the recorded message. “The song he was talking about was ‘The Highway Man’ ”, he clarified. “And Trey Lane, I’ll be back asking you about that song later in the show”, he said to the show’s call screener. “The reason why we’re in a rut right now is that we’re fighting for [the] oil”, said our next caller. “We have futures where oil will possibly come down (in price)”, said the caller, who would like to know what economic plans were proposed by a couple of candidates for the presidency of the USA. “I can tell you it’s probably just the basics of what they’ll do to help the economy is go to the people who make a lot of money and give to the people who don’t make a lot of money”, said the Uncle before bringing to our attention food shortage stories. “This is the kind of stuff that is going to be driving folks out of their mind because of shortages where there aren’t shortages”, according to the Uncle. “Many of you think the weekend has started”, said the Uncle as he reminded listeners that it’s a workday and that they be “stealing from your employer” when they are not working. “The number (for recorded messages) will be opened 22 hours a week and 24 hours [on] the weekend”, he said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:05, five minutes after 9:00”, said the Uncle, who is very thankful “to welcome John Graham” to the studio. “The last time you were on TV with me was with ‘Killer Beaz’ ”, said the Uncle, who was referring to the comedian who was on his local cable TV show. “You’re running for the county commission district 3 against an incumbent, Mike Dean”, said the Uncle, who asked our guest about his turn from business owner to a county commission candidate. “So former marine and former police owner and as a business owner”, the Uncle repeated for listeners. “They say, ‘Please run we’ve got to have someone in that office’ ”, said John, who got a call from a resident “who wants her property annexed into the city” and asked for his personal feelings. After our guest mentioned the idea to “agree to disagree”, “That is a contrast from Mike Dean”, said the Uncle before replaying audio of the current country commissioner. “He says ‘yes’ all the time and you’re not going to say ‘yes’ all the time”, said the Uncle. “If I ran my business and told anybody, ‘Yes, you can come in anytime you want’”, said John, who believes his business wouldn’t function that way. “Let’s talk to Robert. Hello Robert”, the Uncle said to the first caller this hour. “What is your opinion of Mr. Dean?” Robert asked before mentioning the appointment of county commission spokesman and former TV news presenter Peter Albrecht. “I don’t know the exact job description Peter Albrecht has”, said John, who has met the fellow more than once and found him intelligent. “You get in there and you have a political appointment but then you write a job description for the person on the personnel board”, said John, who would not create a job and make it “a regular appointment” in the county commission. “It’s exactly how pertinent it is to the mission and the values of the county that I run”, John concluded. “I’ve got a master’s degree in public communications for 28 years”, said John, whose “got a different set of skills” from Mike Dean. “If it’s something that’s going to appease some employees, John Graham is not going” to move on it, said John. After keeping caller Chris on hold for technical reasons, “I’ll see if we can get Tim. Hello Tim”, said the Uncle. “For the people who have not met Mr. Graham, let me tell them something, Uncle Henry”, said Tim, also known as Sam Marston IV. “This field house mess, people may come out to me and say, ‘What a great thing for the kids’ ”, said Tim, who finds the idea wrong. “I don’t have any problem with them (the soccer people)”, said Tim. “I’m just telling you what I’d say to Mr. Graham”, Tim explained. “I’m glad that his family is sacrificing for him to run because he’s the kind of people [that] we need in there”, said Tim. “That’s what we need down there and I’ll let him responded”, he said before leaving us. “What we have is a dangerous [mission] set there by Mike Dean”, said John “on the field house” issue. “When I’m the county commission, I’m going to sit down with all my football coaches and say, ‘Ok, we have $300,000 on education’ ”, said John, who would also say ‘Baker (High School) may have something this year”. “Don’t forget Murphy. Murphy is in my district”, John added. “We have to take a break, John Graham is here. Your telephone calls are welcome”, said the Uncle. After the break for commercials, “Uncle Henry Show continues. We have John Graham here running for county commission district 3”, said the Uncle. “Let me try one more time here for Chris”, he said before the caller joined us. “I just want to give John Graham here some conjecture” on Daws Road in Mobile, said Chris. “I’ll be honest here, I drive on Airport (Boulevard) a lot, I’m glad”, said Chris. “Getting conjecture off of Airport Boulevard is great”, said John. “If we can’t figure out how to keep a road alive, it doesn’t make a lot of sense”, said John before our next caller spoke. “I wish you the best of luck, Mr. Graham”, said the caller, whom our guest appreciates since his opponent “is an incumbent”. “And did you have meetings with Lillian Jackson?” the Uncle asked regarding the late community activist and former radio talk show host. “She was something else”, John said about Lillian Jackson, “she was a mover and a shaker”. Before our next caller could speak, “Is it Dacy?” the Uncle asked her. “What about the whole idea of Mike Dean getting private roads paved?” the Uncle asked, since Dacy mentioned an issue all ready discussed. “He gave us false hope just like that lady was talking about”, said John. “We need to hold the contractors, we need to hold the people in charge of the coverage responsible”, John continued. “Mobile County will be the first county to be maintaining a private road”, said the Uncle, who said other Alabama counties may get upset. “Taking over the whole process is going to be difficult”, said John, who suggested a neighborhood organization to main a private road. “News time is 8:30—it’s 9:30”, said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. John Graham is our guest”, said the Uncle, who “hopes to have Brad Warren as my guest for equal time”. “There’s no substitute for going to see these people in person”, he said about the debate with the county commission candidates in district 3. “Let’s take some more phone calls here”, he said before our next caller Angela. “I’d like to know what the Crystal Ball award is?” Angela asked. “(Former) Mayor Dow would give out an award to an employee who is so out of the box”, John answered. “I’m going to go outside the box, I’m going to fund ways to raise some money”, said John, who would “find to way to bridge the gap” between government and the citizens. “That is a great way to have an award”, said the Uncle. “I didn’t know about the award when I was doing it”, said John, who was just doing his job at the time. “Good”, the Uncle responded before our next caller. “Do you know the other two commissioners?” the Uncle asked our guest about Steve Nodine and Merceria Ludgood. “Hmmm, no”, John answered. “No, I don’t really know them”, John added, but believes this “won’t work against” him, since he has a different view of the commission. “Can you hear me ok?” caller Glenn asked before claiming that he can “hear you loud and clear” from Pensacola, Florida, where he heard our guest on another radio talk show a year ago. “Here’s the problem, when I asked someone what the cost is to run the (soccer) complex, he didn’t know”, said John. “I think I’ve never heard Steve Nodine say he would sign up on that project. Steve Nodine has to sign up on that project”, John continued. “Is soccer growing fast enough?” he asked, “Do we’ve got the infrastructure? No, we don’t”. “If you’re going to use money to build things like that and you got schools in dire need—I’ve got a daughter”, said John. After the break for commercials, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. John Graham is here. He’s running against Mike Dean for the republican nomination” for the Mobile County Commission, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Franklin. Hello Franklin”, he said to our next caller, who has a question about a term used by the county commission. “What does it mean, Mr. Graham, is that each county commissioner has discretionary funds”, Franklin learned. “Let’s talk to Mary. Hello Mary”, said the Uncle. “I have one more thing to say about the private roads”, said Mary. “What I’d like to see done and let me say this that if you’re road is suppose to be paved”, said John, who would see that the pavement is done, but within the limits of the law. “If you guys were within in that jurisdiction, you should have been done”, said John. “We’re just about out of time here with John Graham”, said the Uncle before reminding listeners that his guest and Mike Dean with be debating each other. “Earlier in the program before you got here Trey Lane wanted to tell you something about martial arts arranging flowers”, said the Uncle. “You are correct that it doesn’t make any sense”, said John. “The Japanese have a ceremony that is involved in practicing and cleansing their soul”, said John. “What martial art do you practice?” the Uncle asked our guest, who would mention what he calls “the grandfather of karate”. “I’ve been doing it a long time, I’ve got my goat from China”, John continued. “How often do you have to in the gym and just practice the art?” the Uncle asked. “It keeps my mind focused, it keeps my stress off”, said John, who finds his son John, Jr. “amazing” at martial arts. “We’ve got a lot of friends in China, Taiwan, and the Philippines”, John said about his “well rounded international background”. “That is just a fascinating thing”, said the Uncle. “Where can people learn it in this country?” he asked our guest for his martial arts. “I keep plowing away until I’m good at it”, said John, who still has a coach. “Anybody that wants to study it can keep getting good at it”, said the Uncle. After our host reminded listeners about the debate and thanked our guest for coming to the show, “Thank you, sir. I’m going to play ‘Rocky’ music that night—I’m just kidding!” said John.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:06, six minutes after 9:00. Telephone lines are open”, said the Uncle, who reminded listeners about the numbers to dial. “We’re going to be bringing in Trey Lane as our musical expert to evaluate some songs” by listener Crockett, said the Uncle, whose music expert is the show’s call screener. “Let’s talk to Tim. Good morning, Tim”, he said to this hour’s first caller, who is also known as Sam Marston IV. “Do you think the city’s going to give that two and a half million dollars?” said Tim, who was probably referring to the school board as the receiver. “No!” the Uncle answered. “Whatever happened to Gene Hardgrove? He moved out of Spring Hill Dental, didn’t he?” Tim asked. “I think there should be a moratorium on parking meters”, said the Uncle. “You know my relationship with parking meters”, said Tim. “I want to tell you what happened at a senior citizens meeting this afternoon”, Tim mentioned. “You might have gotten Freddie on the ‘podcast’ this morning”, according to Tim. “Very informative information”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller, who believes the candidacy of a senator from New York “is foretold in the Bible, the Book of Revelations, the Anti-Christ”, which our host believes has “upset a lot of people”. “Are you still out in the Chickasaw area?” the Uncle asked, “How are things in Chickasaw? I haven’t been in Chickasaw in a while”. “It’s ok”, the caller answered. “I just wanted to give you a quick call”, he admitted. “Please give us regular reports on what’s been going on at that flea market”, said the Uncle after learning that our caller is “still doing business” at Flea Market Mobile. “Try making it—maybe a once a month activity”, the Uncle suggested for the reports. “You know Spring Hill has been very good to us”, said our next caller. “Let’s talk to George. Hello George”, said the Uncle. “The show (last week) was nowhere being close to being the Uncle Henry Show”, said George, but appreciates “that individual”, or Scott Harrison substituting. “Let’s talk to Kathleen. Good morning, Kathleen”, said the Uncle. “Good morning”, said Kathleen, who “heard from Dick Cheney, he had the answer, he had the answer to global warming”. “That is very good information”, said the Uncle. “Wonderful call from Kathleen”, he said before speaking to our next caller Sam. “I’ve been checking out your program and Freddie he talked about five different subjects this morning and he gets lost too”, said Sam. “The last thing, he didn’t put them together”, said Sam, who compared callers who bring up “too many subjects”. “99% of your listeners don’t agree with Fred”, according to Sam. “I think you watch that midnight show that comes on your station, I don’t know”, said Sam, who was referring to “Coast to Coast AM”, as our host mentioned. “Thank you, Sam, it was very pleasant talking to you”, said the Uncle after Sam left us to avoid discussing “too many subjects”. After the break for commercials and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues. Phone number is (251) 479-2723, that is the Harbor Communications [hotline] number”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Steve. Hello Steve”, he said to our next caller. “As far as the price of gas goes, you can pretty much—you know, coast it back to when democrats took over Congress”, said Steve, who said he “distinctly remembers that” before discussing a Mormon religion cult. “I kind of figure out why they prey among the younger women because they don’t prey” among the older women, said Steve. “It all depends on the woman”, said the Uncle. “Like I said, do you have freedom of religion in this country or you do not?” said Steve. “I think that, let’s be fair about [it]—I think they should pay all these men who say they have more than one wife”, said Steve. “You have to convince the grown women to join your cult or join your religion”, Steve continued. “They (the young ones) could be easily convinced”, according to Steve. “It’s not historically all that strange, because if you read the Bible”, said Steve. “They have to keep their numbers up to fight”, Steve said in his conclusion. “Let’s talk to Gene. Hello Gene”, said the Uncle, who asked our caller how he’s doing. “Good”, Gene answered. “You’re right, it’s the oil speculators that are looking at a every little thing and the prices go up”, said the Uncle. “Look Gene, thank you for your phone call. Uncle Henry Show continues”, said the Uncle. “You can’t really say what should be or not, it all depends on what people are willing to pay for”, said the Uncle. “They cut back on refining because the oil prices are so high”, he said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here. ‘Ask the Expert’ coming up at 10 o’clock”, said the Uncle, who also promoted “The Rush Limbaugh Show” on his radio station. “I’m telling you, the people are going to be the ones that are going to do something about this gas thing”, said our next caller Bob. “All right, I’m going to bring in our musical expert Trey Lane, ambient musician”, said the Uncle as the call screener’s theme music plays. “Are you a member of the group Seduction Bomb?” he asked Trey, who is a member indeed. “All right, I called you in for your musical expertise. We had Crockett call in”, said the Uncle. “Very familiar what he performed”, he said before playing the first of two voice messages by the listener. As Crockett’s song played, “Huh!” said Trey. “All right, that was part one”, said the Uncle, who enjoyed the placement of “Mobile County lyrics in a popular song”. After the second recording, “Ok, Trey Lane, professional musician”, said the Uncle as he asked for Trey’s personal feelings. “I didn’t really like the song”, said Trey, but said the song was “ok” and that it not Crockett’s “best work”. “All right, this is very Simon Cowell-eque”, said the Uncle. As for Crockett’s voices, “I disagree, I don’t want anymore of those voices”, said the Uncle, who replayed a past recording of Crockett speaking with a false Irish-accent in his “Tiny McNugget” voice. Since “Bobby McGee” was mentioned in the song, “Kris Kristofferson. Whatever happened to him?” the Uncle asked. “I know he’s still alive”, said Trey. After the break for commercials and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710 and I’ve got some new listener e-mail on the website”, said the Uncle, who might transfer some archived audio to the show’s website. “On the way to work today, I stopped by your station to drop off these CDs of Randy Patrick’s appearance on your show last week”, said our next caller. As for some audio of caller Freddie, “I’m sure I’ll get plenty”, said the Uncle. “I will leave you some goodies at the front desk”, he told the caller. “I appreciate you being able to bring me audio tape of that”, said the Uncle. “Our concluding segment is next”, he said before the final break for today. During a “pre-recorded announcement” for a popular meat product from Chickasaw, Alabama, “This is Uncle Henry for Hall’s Meats. It’s grilling season!” said the Uncle, who also did a live promotion “to add something about Hall’s Meats”. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show concluding. I did not mention that yesterday, to me it sounds closer to paganism”, said the Uncle, who was responding to the listener’s recorded message. “I’ve known pagans. I’ve known them”, said the Uncle, who shared his memory of one pagan, whom he referred to as “this guy”. “I’m not making this up”, the Uncle claimed. “Out of time for today’s show! We have ‘Ask the Expert’ coming up”, said the Uncle, who mentioned the program’s two guests such as “the conservative money guy” John McNeil. “Remember to pray and read that Bible”, he reminded listeners at the end of the show.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:06, six minutes after 9:00”, said the Uncle, who reminded listeners how to call in either locally or by long distance. “Let’s talk to Jim. Hello there, Jim! Good morning!” he said to this hour’s first caller, who is “glad that you’re back on the radio”. “Next time if you leave for a couple of days, get some of the callers to guest host”, said Jim, who suggested frequent callers Sam Marston IV (also known as Tim) and “The Idea Guy”. “I would never say something dumb or say something ignorant”, Jim said if were hosting the show. “I think there [are] one or two callers who would be great”, said Jim, who was the caller that spoke to WKRG-TV5 sports director Randy Patrick when our host was away last week. “He also raised his voice at you”, the Uncle learned from Jim. “I actually thought he was liberal”, said Jim, who “didn’t mean it”. “All I did was say, ‘Randy, you’re a nice liberal’ ”, Jim recalls. “That sounds pretty interesting, I didn’t get to hear that”, said the Uncle. “He kind of cooled off”, Jim said about Randy. “It was ok, but you definitely should have come back” two days later, said Jim. “I’m getting all these different eye and ear remarks about it and it sounds—if it happened the way people have said it happened, it deeply would have upset me”, said the Uncle. “I really cannot take a vacation if there’s going to be a lot of liberalism thrown around”, said the Uncle. “You don’t tune in to 95KSJ (WKSJ-FM) to hear the Sticks or Pink Floyd”, said the Uncle, who used the country music radio station in his comparison of liberalism on a show hosted by a conservative host. “It’s exactly the same thing, so the more I hear about last week, the more anti-vacation I am”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Jim from Saraland”, he said to our next caller. “As a matter of record, as a habit I taped each day of last week”, said Jim from Saraland. “Well, I would love to hear the Randy Patrick show and I would give you an exchange of the Crockett CD”, said the Uncle, who was referring to the recording made by listener Crockett. “Randy Patrick has checked in on you in May of ‘04”, Jim remembers. “We had some conservatives working then and they were outraged”, said the Uncle. “I might throw in something as a bonus for you to”, said the Uncle, who thanked Jim from Saraland for his recording “I’ve got just about an entire case of Scott O’Brien coffee mugs. I’ll send you those”, said the Uncle, whose coffee mugs were made in honor of his former co-worker Scott O’Brien, who was fired along with newsreader Michael P. Sloan due to budget cuts by station owner Clear Channel Communications. “Let’s talk to Norman. Hello Norman”, he said to our next caller, whose voice message was played yesterday. “You need to slow down”, said the Uncle after hearing about Norman’s recent driving experience, which resulted in a ticket. “I kind of started staring off into space”, said Norman. “Have you told the officer that you were pondering a turtle?” the Uncle asked. “You’re still podcasting it (the show)?” Norman asked. “I listen to that sometimes, but it’s a shame”, Norman said about the show last week, when our host was away. “I heard you talking about these (presidential) candidates and wrestlers”, Norman remembers from the show during a previous hour before sharing what he believes about wrestling fanatics. “Say that again!” the Uncle requested. “Are you saying that people who like wrestling are limited?” he asked Norman. “I just don’t understand it”, said Norman, who believes (professional) wrestling is “fake”. “Let me just make sure I understand this, are you saying that wrestling fans are limited and simple?” said the Uncle. After Norman left us, “What a phone call!” said the Uncle. “They will share things on this show that they will never share in any other forum”, said the Uncle, who reminded listeners about Norman “thinking about a turtle” while driving. “That is something that I can imagine happening to me”, said the Uncle. “I will not admit it”, said the Uncle, who would keep such an incident between himself and the Lord. After mentioning a distant listener and frequent writer, “She is a gigantic wrestling fan and I wonder now if you’re listening to the podcast”, said the Uncle, who wonders how the listener feels about caller Norman’s belief about wrestling fanatics. After the break for commercials and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Very interesting call”, said the Uncle. “You see, we have enough parks and I see parks and when I drive by parks I don’t see people” in the parks, said the Uncle. “This is not just Mobile, this is on the Eastern Shore too”, said the Uncle, who was referring to areas along the shores of Baldwin County, Alabama. “There was not one child out there”, he remembers from a day when temperatures were in the 70s. “What’s the point of the park if people are not in the park?” the Uncle asked. “And you have to maintain it”, he reminded listeners. “I’ve been doing this show for several years”, said the Uncle, who remembers only “one or two calls” supporting the idea of a Mardi Gras park in Mobile. “It will end up being an [enormous] source of complaint”, our host predicts. “We’ve got enough green space in this town. Take a helicopter ride”, said the Uncle, who has seen downtown Mobile from above. “Looks like the Amazon jungle down there, it really did”, he described the view. “I received two phone calls this morning saying they were picking up this station loud and clear in the Brewton area”, said the Uncle, who gave listeners in the Alabama town “a special number”, which is actually the regular toll free telephone number. “So you, the Brewton listener, don’t have to feel left out. You can call in even in Brewton. I’m a big fan of Brewton and I have relatives who live in the Appleton area”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Gene. Hello Gene”, he said to our next caller. “I like the way you talk”, said Gene. “Why thank you!” the Uncle replied. “We’re in such a (budget) crunch, even in the school board”, said Gene. “It’s going to materialize, probably from thin air”, the Uncle said about funding. “As Gene pointed out, these politicians go out in these various local entities and act shocked” that they’ve run out of money, said the Uncle. Before taking a break for news, commercials, and station promotions, our host promoted the network newscast. “They report, you decide”, said the Uncle before the newscast that succeeded the ABC Radio Network, NBC News Radio, and the CBS Radio Network on this station.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle, who again reminded listeners how to call in. “Good morning, Uncle Henry. It is a beautiful day in the Port City!” said our next caller Bill, who believes the mayor of Mobile needs some rest. “Maybe we should give him a bench to sit out there in that monstrosity” of a county complex (Mobile Government Plaza) in downtown Mobile, Bill suggested for Sam Jones. “Excellent call, Bill”, said the Uncle. “Look, they can build a parking garage over that and let people go to the Mardi Gras park”, the Uncle suggested before speaking to our next caller Mary, who shared her memories of a park in Mobile. “Well they used to have beautiful flowers and shrubbery. I mean, the flowers have not been taken care of”, said Mary. “That man (Bill) that called in had an excellent call”, she said. “Every year around this time, we don’t have enough teachers”, said Mary. “Why don’t they get rid of some of the executives up there?” Mary asked about the school board. “That’s a big question”, the Uncle responded. “They want to keep buying”, Mary believes about the Mobile County Public School System. “They don’t like hearing that kind of talk”, said the Uncle. “That’s all right, they can hear it”, Mary responded. “Right about this time, they come up about taxes” to keep teachers, said Mary before leaving us. “Let’s talk to Eric. Hello Eric”, said the Uncle. “I think Bill was on the right shot”, said Eric. “Why don’t they be like them over there in Europe”, Eric suggested for the City of Mobile. “Over there they got this grass top roof”, said Eric, who suggests “putting grass and trees on top of the roof” where someone can see “all the parks”. “Probably energy efficient to have a grass roof on something”, said the Uncle. “I don’t think San Francisco has grass on their government building”, said Eric. “I think we could set a [good] example for those people”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Zach. Hello Zach”, he said to our next caller. “If you have to pay to send your kid there (to private school), that means that your parents are involved”, our host said to Zach. “I say roll our Tide and are you going to see Mr. (Nick) Saban tonight?” said Zach. “No”, the Uncle answered regarding the Alabama Crimson Tide football coach before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Let’s talk to Joe. Hello Joe”, said the Uncle. “Hello Uncle Henry, how are you doing this morning?” said Joe, who feels good to be back in Mobile. “With the steel plant, we’re going to have a lot of people from different parts of the country”, said Joe. “Are you saying that we’re substandard when it comes to parks?” the Uncle asked. “That’s because the parks we do have are [probably] not that great”, said Joe, who has seen parks in other states such as South Carolina. “They did have much better parks than we have”, said Joe before leaving us. “If he (the architect) builds a park downtown where the courthouse was, he would build a parking station where the supermarket buggies” are going to be, our next caller suggested. “Let’s talk to Michael. Hello Michael”, said the Uncle. “A lot of people like to go and leave the area”, said Michael, who explained why many folks don’t go to the park. “So, why and go and do those things you when you have other things” three hours away in New Orleans, Louisiana, said Michael. “Beautiful, beautiful point made”, the Uncle said before the break. After the final break for today and a couple of voice messages, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. We have news coming up, that’s five minutes and then we have ‘Ask the Expert’ with Charlie Moss. Yes, I’m playing the Trey Lane music. This is the music played by Trey Lane that he’s performing”, said the Uncle. “Trey Lane, when is the next time you’re performing”, he asked the show’s call screener, who will be performing in public this weekend. “What is it going to be like this weekend? Are you going to be playing your computer on a wide variety?” said the Uncle, who learned about other musicians scheduled to perform with Trey. “This is an odd thing!” said the Uncle, “Now there is no money in it?” After changing the subject to last week’s shows, our host asked Trey about his listening during those shows. “Not very closely”, Trey answered. While discussing the show with Randy Patrick, “Now the characterizations of this have been accurate?” the Uncle asked. “The caller was a little bit antagonist”, Trey recalls. “It’s ok to disagree at the stress” to be antagonist, Trey added. “You insist antagonism”, said the Uncle, who calls Trey Lane’s recollection “another brush stroke” at what happened during the show with Randy Patrick. “I appreciate you’re back”, said the Uncle. “And I appreciate that you’re back”, Trey responded before returning to his work post. “There he goes, Trey Lane with his odd computer music”, said the Uncle. “This sounds like something you would hear in a movie where the space ship has landed on a desolate planetoid”, he said about the music. “That’s the impression I get”, he explained. “They actually have—I would go and enjoy Stevie Wonder perform” at Jazzfest in New Orleans, said the Uncle, who may not be able to make a trip to New Orleans. “Next, after the news—the news is next actually and then ‘Ask the Expert’ ”, said the Uncle in the final seconds of today’s show. “Remember to pray and read that Bible”, he reminded listener.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It is my goal anywhere on the planet”, said the Uncle in response to a listener’s voice message. “I didn’t know that Jimmy Swaggert was still active”, he said before speaking to this hour’s first caller Lois. “That’s very interesting, isn’t it, because they are planning to spend thousands of dollars on a Mardi Gras park and they can’t [even] fix a street”, said the Uncle after listening to Lois. “There was no planning for this, it is an outrage. Let’s talk to ‘The Idea Guy’. Hello ‘Idea Guy’ ”, said the Uncle. “Listen, I’m on Old Shell Road right now and they’re just fixing a pot hole right now”, said “Idea”. “Also, I was wondering if the price of oil is high because of those cownose rays”, said “Idea”. “Anytime wildlife is causing a problem, we ought to first see if we can eat it”, the Uncle suggested. “That ought to be put on the table immediately”, he added. “Let’s talk to William. Hello William”, he said to our next caller. “The energy exchange, I heard late talk about repaving it”, said William. “I heard you guys talking about those bridges early on and I’m amazed by it”, said William, who was listening to the show before 9:00 AM. “In district 2 there are about five miles of sidewalks that need to be done”, William said about an area of the City of Mobile. “Is this William Carroll?” the Uncle asked the caller, who is also a Mobile City Council member. “My objective is to do a neighborhood at a time and move on” to the next neighborhood, said William. “All right, well thank you very much for calling in, William Carroll”, said the Uncle. “He was talking about capital money before he was a councilman”, said the Uncle. “They were able to fund money when they really wanted to”, our host remembers about the Mobile City Council “before William Carroll”. “Sidewalks and paving is essential”, said the Uncle, who suggests that some folks “set aside a fund to raise money for the park” planned specially for Mardi Gras. “There are a lot of people that would love to contribute their own personal money”, said the Uncle. “Just do the whole thing with private funding”, he concluded before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. I appreciate Scott Harrison filling in for me. He is a very pleasant fellow [to me]. Let me tell you this, L. B”, said the Uncle. “Other people have expressed feelings of intimidation” before filling in, our host told the caller who left the recorded message. “And I just don’t understand it, because the callers—5% of the callers are just as sweet as can be and you figure that broadcasters would love to come in and talk”, said the Uncle. “There is one show that occurred (‘that I’m curious about’), I didn’t get to hear any of the Uncle Henry Show last week because I was not on it”, said the Uncle. “I was told there was some liberalism on the show last week”, he said before playing “the voice mail alerting me that the Uncle Henry Show is being used for liberalism”. After the recorded message, “All right and so Jim in Saraland, could you provide me any proof—he called it ‘liberal crap’ ”, said the Uncle. “That would be very disappointing, very disappointing and I find it hard to believe that Randy Patrick (WKRG-TV5 sports reporter) is flusterable”, said the Uncle. “One of the smoothest in all the crowd”, he said about the former radio host of WKRG-AM, now WNTM-AM. “And if it happened on Friday’s show—it wasn’t Friday, was it?” said the Uncle. “I will be looking into the e-mail inbox before the conclusion of the show and I will also be posting some of the e-mails that I’ve received over the week”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Jimmy. Hello Jimmy”, he said to our next caller. “I was calling in to comment on Randy Patrick on the TV”, said Jimmy, who was referring to a caller accusing Randy Patrick of liberalism on the show last week. “Other than that, it was a pretty good show”, said Jimmy, who disagrees with caller L. B.’s term “liberal crap”. “He just had some different views about wanting to be a liberalist”, Jimmy recalls from the show. “On and on it was a pretty good show”, said Jimmy. “Oh good!” said the Uncle. “When you have one account, it gets very murky”, said the Uncle. “Did he use the word ‘liberalist’? Did you hear the word ‘liberalist’? I’m going to look that up. I had to look up a few words”, said the Uncle. “Tomorrow morning at about this time tomorrow morning Senator Jeff Sessions will join us”, said the Uncle, whose guest will be speaking by telephone. “This week or next week we’re going to have John Graham on the show (for equal time). He is running against the embattled (county) commissioner Mike Dean”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Lauren, Hello Lauren. Hello! Hello!” he said, but got no answer. “All right now, now, are you listening, Phillip?” he said to the show’s call screener, “Is there a person on there? I know someone is listening to this show”. “Maybe she’s doing some sort of audio experiment with the show”, said the Uncle before realizing the caller identified himself as Chester. “I have no idea”, Chester said about the call screener listing the name “Lauren” instead of his true name. “He could be profiling, I don’t know”, said Chester. It doesn’t make a lot of sense that “they are using city money to prop up downtown”, said Chester. “If you’re a tax payer, you’ve got a lot of money propped up” in downtown Mobile, said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle. “I concluded my vacation dining yesterday at the Waffle House”, he mentioned. “It was just delightful eating at the Waffle House”, said the Uncle, who was not worried about his cholesterol “at all”, as it was not something he checked on during his “time”, or his early years. “Let me check the Uncle Henry e-mail inbox. This e-mail, the subject line ‘Oil is a Speculator’s Dream’ ”, said the Uncle. “And the word’s ‘do something’ in capital letters”, he said as he looks at the message written by listener Trip. “Trip, very thought provoking. I don’t know, I would have to think about your idea”, said the Uncle, who said, “Drill, drill, drill!” “I know 90% of the listener disagrees with me and wants the government to take care of all things economic. I am uneasy about where this would lead”, he said before speaking to our next caller Steve. “On this Jimmy Carter business, he has such a wonderful record on this region (West Asia)”, Steve said sarcastically. “He’ll be a dead man in no time because they (the group Hamas) don’t want to get along with us, they don’t want to get along with Israel”, said Steve. “He was a disastrous president, he is a disastrous ex-president”, Steve continued. “He just needs to keep his nose out of it”, said Steve, who also suggested that the former president of the USA keeps his “mouth shut”. “All right, thank you, Steve. I’m glad you’re back”, said the Uncle before the break for commercials. After the break and a couple of voice messages, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. ‘Ask the Expert’ coming up after 10 o’clock. It’s free automotive advice; you need to listen to that. Free advice is good advice”, said the Uncle. “After ‘Ask the Expert’ we have ‘The Rush Limbaugh Show’ ”, he also promoted before reminding listeners how to join the show. “Let me direct your attention to Chip Drago at Mobile Bay Times”, said the Uncle. “At his website MobileBayTimes.com he has a poll asking people about their favorite Baldwin County restaurant”, said the Uncle, who also mentioned the previous poll for Mobile County restaurants. “Waffle House wasn’t on the list. I don’t know if he’s an elitist”, said the Uncle, who wonders if chain restaurants are excluded. “They have a dollar menu now. That is very economical”, he said about the Waffle House. “You can visit that website through my website”, said the Uncle, who also reminded listeners about the e-mails posted on his page. “Let’s talk to Mary. Hello Mary”, he said to our next caller, who mentioned a senator’s plan to repeal gasoline taxes. “They just didn’t listen to him, he proposed it”, said Mary before leaving us. “That is a very, very good idea. Someone needs to jump on it and do it”, said the Uncle before the break. After the final break for today and a couple of voice messages, “Uncle Henry Show continues. Let’s talk to Bill. Hello Bill”, said the Uncle. “Think you’re doing a good job on your show and I appreciate your work in God and what you’re doing for this country”, said Bill before responding to a listener’s recorded message. “I can’t think of a better thing to do other than to go down on your needs to say the Lord’s Prayer”, Bill suggested. “They quote Jimmy Carter as saying that he condemns the wall in Israel”, said Bill. “He didn’t say anything that was unkind or criticized them (Hamas) in any way”, said Bill. “I can’t believe that America will be pleased by that and I can’t see any of my democrat friends” approving that, according to Bill, whom our host agreed with seconds before the end of the show.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Telephone number is (251) 479-2723, that is the Harbor Communications hotline”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Tim. Hello Tim”, he said to the caller also known as Sam Marston IV. “Listen, on this stuff you talk about the coming on the show with Eddie Smith and I’ll talk about that. If you decide to do that, you open yourself to having Fred ‘Hollywood’ Barkley on your show. You know what I’m saying?” said Tim. “If he would come in here to do a show with a Press-Register reporter and let them all ask questions, I would do it”, said the Uncle. “You’re not taking off (next week) because you’re frighten that he will show up?” Tim asked. “No, this has been long planned. I’ve got an 8-year-old grandson”, said the Uncle, who will be at a beach next week. “Look, I don’t like nudity and I don’t believe in it and I don’t look at it”, said the Uncle, who admits that hasn’t “looked at my own naked body in 15 years” in response to Tim mentioning revealing bathing suits. “Let’s talk to Charles. Hello Charles”, he said to our next caller. “You know it’s amazing people will call in with something made in [somewhere]”, said Charles. “Anyway, that’s my comment and it’s nice talking to you”, he said before leaving us. “I don’t even know what a remote is for”, said the Uncle as he looks for one and its country of origin label in the studio. “Made in China”, he said. “Why don’t you use a remote for a computer? Have you ever used a remote for a computer?” the Uncle asked the show’s current call screener Trey Lane. “No”, Trey answered. “I can’t find anything in here not made in China”, said the Uncle before the call screener mentioned a product made in Akron, Ohio. “When you say relationship, the relationship has been eating”, the Uncle told our next caller Glenn, who mentioned a restored restaurant. “Do you have a favorite place in Biloxi?” the Uncle asked Trey Lane, along with, “What is your favorite place in Biloxi?” After the break for commercials and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues. Let’s talk get back to the phones and let’s talk to Ricky. Hello Ricky”, said the Uncle. “Just tell your listeners when you buy things see where it’s made from”, Ricky suggested. “Let’s talk to Paul. Hello Paul”, said the Uncle. “Can you imagine that amount of money that our government is doing that those (digital TV converter) boxes are made in China?” Paul asked. “Let’s talk to John. Hello John”, said the Uncle. “I’m sitting behind a gravel truck”, said John. “The rocks come from the truck, so how can they not be held responsible for a rock” hitting your windshield, said John. “I was just wondering. You see these trucks and they have gravel”, said John. “I wonder if it’s like people having an ad in the newspaper saying ‘I’m not responsible for any deaths of my own’?” the Uncle asked before the break for commercials. After the final break for today and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues. Very little time left on this show”, said the Uncle. “Is this music considered the same as water boarding?” Trey asked as the bumper music played. “I don’t think we should do that, cruel and usual punishment is unconstitutional”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Holly. “Last night, he was pulling out the Michael Savage ‘Kool-Aid’ with the Northrop-Grumman deal”, Holly said about the co-host of the TV program “Hannity & Combs” Sean Hannity. “It made me so mad”, she said. “Have a great week off, Uncle Henry. We’ll see you when we get back”, said Holly before leaving us. “Thank you again for filling in next week”, the Uncle told his substitute Scott Harrison, who will be hosting next week’s shows. “Remember to pray, pray for others and read that Bible”, he reminded listeners at the end of the show.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. I’m going to pass on that”, said the Uncle, who is “not going to drink clay” after hearing a listener’s warning in a voice message. “Numerous things to talk about in this hour and I’m going to fit all of it in”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Big Al. Hello Big Al”, he said to the first caller this hour. “Really crappy call I had to follow”, said Al. “It’s a public service, it’s an educational call!” the Uncle responded. “I agree that they should lower the speed limit”, Al said about the state’s driving speed limit. “If you go over 70 miles an hour in your car, you’re going to waste gas”, said Al. “I used to work at the Shell in Saraland and I just wonder where these people think these local gas stations get their gas?” said Al. “Could you just hold on a second and let us listen to your sounds of nature over the phone?” the Uncle asked before the sounds of birds could be heard from the caller’s location. “That sounds so wonderful. Where are you listening from?” said the Uncle. “Saraland”, said Al. “I love all the bird sounds and everything, just spring sounding”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller. “There was another delay for a Boeing 787, they just continue not to get their act together”, said the caller, who was reading today’s edition of the Press-Register. “Northrop-Grumman needs to run with this”, he said before leaving us. “They had all these delays and the stock, after they announced it, the stock went up”, said the Uncle. “Almost 5%”, he explained. “They can get away with this sort of stuff. We are all getting an education on the aerospace thing”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Steve. Hello Steve”, he said to our next caller. “I have always had cable and satellite TV and there was always something interesting for me”, said Steve, who watched the popular TV program “American Idol” for the first time this year. “You know, I was thinking—I was thinking there was always some politics in everything”, said Steve after hearing a particular song on the show last night. “I didn’t know they left the word ‘Jesus’ out”, said Steve, who “knew there would be people complaining about that”. “A young man e-mailed me and told me to shut the blank up about Jesus because he hates hearing me [talk] about Jesus”, said the Uncle. “Are you listening, guy?” Steve asked, “Jesus, Jesus, and Jesus”. “Excellent!” the Uncle responded. “It’s ok to be a Muslim in this world nowadays, but it’s not ok to be a Christian”, according to Steve. “I wonder how tall he is?” Steve asked about the listener he assumes is tall enough to wear “a McDonald’s hat” to work. “We can hope that one day he’ll see the light”, said the Uncle. “It seems to me that more and more and more people are just intolerant of who we are and who we believe in”, said Steve. “It think it’s good, I think it’s refreshing. That show is suppose to cover all kinds of music”, Steve said about “American Idol”. “I appreciate that phone call, Steve”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to David. Hello David”, he said to our next caller, who gave listeners two websites. “It’s called ZeroPollutionMotors.[us] and there’s another one called AirMotors.com”, said David. “I’m going to continue to drive [on] gasoline as along as it’s readily available”, said the Uncle before the break for commercials. After the break and a version of the theme music for the TV series “Bonanza”, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:19, back to the phones quickly because I promised some news about Saraland”, said the Uncle. “This comes from the governor’s office. Yes, from Governor Riley (in China)”, said the Uncle, who used banjo background music as he read the news. “Today you can go all over the world and find Alabama made products”, the Uncle read. “Governor Riley and his wife in China finding a Saraland carpet”, said the Uncle. “Hold on a second! I’ve got the garbage can, I never looked under a garbage can (before)”, said the Uncle as he checks the studio carpeting. “Look, it was made in Alabama! About time something like that has happened”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Dale. “Let’s talk to David. Hello David. Hello David”, said the Uncle, who got no response. “I must have put you back on hold”, he said before moving forward to the next caller. “Eddie Smith comes from a very prominent family, so I think he’s being persecuted”, said the caller. “He’s been talked about, he’s been in the Press-Register”, said the Uncle. “If this is some kind of organized effort, I don’t think you’re going to get much headway”, said the Uncle. “I know the man”, said the caller, who suggests inviting the fellow to the show. “Is this some sort of elaborate joke?” the Uncle asked the caller. “You see, never been convicted of anything, what was he was on parole—what was he on parole for then?” the Uncle asked after the caller left us. “Just very, very curious. Just e-mail me then. I am willing to post anything you say, just the civil and criminal cases”, said the Uncle. “You can read summaries of all these different sort of things”, he said about the cases. “I don’t know if you really want to do that”, said the Uncle, who used the metaphor, “opening up a can of worms”.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. May your calls continue to ring, I’m sure Trey Lane will eventually get to your calls”, said the Uncle. “Phones have been ringing off the hook by 8:55”, he explained. “Bare with us”, he told callers on hold. “Trey Lane, I apologize for all the thoughts I’ve had of you”, he told the show’s current call screener, who was not busy on Internet websites such as MySpace. “I’m looking at the log there”, said the Uncle, “we’ve had several or eight people between the calls”. “The top of the hour news is the break time”, he reminded listeners. “Let’s talk to Tim. Hello Tim”, he said to this hour’s first caller also known as Sam Marston IV, who was viewing the radio station’s website last night and noticed an image of nationally syndicated radio talk show host Rusty Humphries. “He’s wearing an American flag shirt. You know that is not flag etiquette”, said Tim before sharing his memories of the Adams-Mark Hotel (now the Riverview Plaza Hotel) in Mobile and Don Siegelman, the former governor of Alabama. “What I know is that he did endorse Don Siegelman”, the Uncle said about the late John Charles Carter, also known by his stage name Charlton Heston. “I think it has to do with previous stances (gun control)”, said the Uncle. “I don’t remember exactly what happened”, the Uncle admitted. “I don’t remember at all either”, said Tim. “I’m looking forward to the day Wal-Mart comes over by Providence (Hospital)”, said Tim, who expects road improvements. “I’m sure Wal-Mart can do what ever they want to”, said the Uncle. “They’ve got opposition out there at Airport (Boulevard)”, said Tim. “Maybe get some Wal-Mart people and hire them all over the city and fix these traffic lights”, Tim suggested before leaving us. “I’m going to see if I can get that picture that Tim was talking about”, said the Uncle as he visits to radio station’s website. “Whoa, what is this? What is this? Someone has put bikini pictures all over NewsRadio710.com!” said the Uncle. “Bikini pictures right next to my name!” said the Uncle, who is outraged over the image of racecar driver Danica Patrick. “Sports Illustrated bikini pictures gallery, about 38 pictures of women in bikinis next to my head”, said the Uncle. “I apologize”, he said to listeners. “They are very provocative bikini picture”, said the Uncle, who described one person as “half out of her clothing”, or almost nude. “I thought the webmaster liked me”, said the Uncle, “I can’t believe he would do this”. “Uncle Henry, my issue this morning is, I’ve been a republican for all most of my life”, said our next caller Joe, who believes in less government. “It’s something the government won’t back off of”, said Joe, who asked our host if he is familiar with TWIC, which he spelled out. “They have to have a card by September of this year and it costs the individual [$137] to get the card”, said Joe. Among the folks affected are “truck drivers and these other guys that get out”, according to Joe. “It seems like they’re trying to make money off them”, said Joe, who said the money may be funding the Department of Homeland Security. “I guess one of the main reasons they’ve done this”, according to the Uncle, is that “this is their way to getting around all those containers”. “Anybody related to transportation is going to have to be dealing with this fee”, said Joe before leaving us. “Let’s talk to Jim. Hello Jim”, said the Uncle. “Henry, please stop putting pornographic images on your website!” said Jim. “Look, they made me look like a fool!” said the Uncle, who did not put the images online. “I didn’t know about that!” Jim responded. “I don’t want my photograph next to half naked women pictures”, said the Uncle before Jim shared what radio host George Noory said some time ago on the overnight radio program “Coast to Coast AM”. “He was talking about a 6-year-old boy who was incarnated with a World War II pilot”, Jim remembers. “My question is why do we continue to put that guy on the air? Not you”, said Jim, who was referring to the station’s programmers. “The story was aliens turning into trees”, Jim remembers when he first heard “Coast to Coast AM”. “Someone from Mobile actually called”, said Jim, who could not believe it. “Have a great day”, he told our host before leaving us. “The reason you will hear that show on this station is that it’s very popular at night”, said the Uncle, based on Arbitron radio surveys. “The percentage of those people listening to that George Noory show is just incredible”, said the Uncle. “That’s why it’s on”, he explained. “I think he made that up (about the Shadow People) when he took over for Art Bell”, according to the Uncle. “Long form interviews with real scientists”, our host finds interesting about “Coast to Coast AM”, but agrees with Jim on the weird subjects. “It’s probably one of the most popular overnight radio programs in the history of radio”, the Uncle said before the break for commercials. After the break, a version of the theme music for the “Batman” TV series was used as bumper music. “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle before mentioning other things on the station’s website. “Then they have Billy Joel videos. There is some picture of Billy Joel”, said the Uncle, who mentioned the link to the musicians known as The Ramones. “What has happened to NewsRadio710.com?” the Uncle asked, “That is my question for the webmaster”. “I remember Joe Abdul used to call in” on Dan Daniels’ radio talk show, said our next caller, who was referring to the Joe who called in recently. “A history of outrageous behavior”, said the Uncle before the caller mentioned Charlton Heston’s visit to the region years ago. “I just wanted to call and let you know about that incase Joe is still listening”, he said before leaving us. “I caught a little blip on the news yesterday”, said our next caller Happy, who thinks he was watching “FOX or ‘5’ (WKRG-TV5)”, but was probably watching a newscast on WPMI-TV. “Have you heard of that? Anyway, they were talking about switching to free TV channels”, said Happy, who was wondering if this concerns cable TV. “Free TV shows” said the Uncle. “Anyway, the reincarnation. If you die and they revive you”, said Happy, who remembers coming “back as me”. “I don’t think that counts, Happy”, the Uncle responded. “I have met several people who have had that experience with their heart—heart stops beating”, said the Uncle. “What do you mean the digital TV will have more free channels?” the Uncle asked, since meteorologist Alan Sealls “has been talking about it a lot on Channel 5” in public service announcements. “Apparently on the air TVs are about to be more”, said Trey Lane, whose theme music was used to summon him. “Apparently there will be more channels available for free”, Trey explained. “So how is that possible?” the Uncle asked. “I don’t know”, said Trey. “Who will be providing the free channels?” the Uncle asked. “I don’t know, we’ll just have to wait and see”, said Trey. “I know I have the HDTV”, said the Uncle, who has seen a weather radar on WKRG-TV5’s digital sub-channel. “Is that what they are talking about, you will be able to watch radar?” the Uncle asked before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. The Harbor Communications hotline number is (251) 479-2723”, said the Uncle. “Ron Reams was online. Ron Reams is going to clarify the whole digital television thing”, the Uncle announced before speaking to the guest by telephone. “Are you on there?” he asked the guest, who is doing great. “Unfortunately that is the nature of my job, I have to get up and put the news on the Internet”, said Ron. “Yeah, I go to work at 12 o’clock and I get up at 9:00”, Ron explained. “We will get more channels, you can get that now as a matter of fact”, said Ron before bringing to our news digital TV news concerning WKRG-TV5. “They’ve got a contract with a company that provides old time classic television, so we’re going to have a block of shows like they have on TV Land or something”, said Ron, who believes most viewers in the Mobile region have never heard the news. “I can’t remember the name of the company (Equity Media Holdings, which owns the Retro Television Network)”, said Ron. “Now on Channel 15, they all ready have the Weather Plus”, said Ron. “That’s provided by the NBC network and now on the Christian stations locally they all ready have four channels”, said Ron, who was speaking more about Trinity Broadcasting Network affiliate WMPV-TV in Mobile, not WHBR-TV in Pensacola, Florida. Along with “the regular TBN”, the Church Channel, JCTV, Enlace (Spanish-language channel), “Now they have a channel that is nothing by Children’s programming, children’s Christian programming”, said Ron before going to “the (four) educational channels” from Alabama Public Television. “I don’t know why they have the same thing on two channels”, said Ron, who was informed by our host about the high definition pictures on one channel. After describing the third digital channel, “they call that the IQ channel apparently”, said the Ron before mentioning the “adult educational programming” on the fourth channel. “And what does that mean?” the Uncle asked about this digital channel, which contains nothing dirty. “I don’t know what the new rules are on the digital?” the Uncle asked. “What do you mean rules?” Ron asked before answering. “I can understand. I think the rules are going to be the same no matter what signal you’re on. You’re not going to be dirty”, said Ron. “When they (WEAR-TV) first started out, you had something like MTV, they had music on”, said Ron. “Now the antenna, it doesn’t have to look like one of these monstrosity things”, said Ron, who has a much smaller antenna. “It’s like one of those things that you plug into the computer”, said Ron, whose system can be plugged into a laptop. “It’s kind of neat”, said Ron. “You’ve been a fountain of information, Ron”, said the Uncle. “I love the technical Internet stuff”, said Ron. “We’ve got a DTV section on NBC15online.com”, said Ron, who can “imagine the other stations” have a similar section on their websites. “I’ll get one (digital TV converter)”, said the Uncle. “They’ll send you two $40 coupons, they call them coupons”, said Ron, though the converter coupons are actually cards. “Outstanding information from Ron Reams. Isn’t he wonderful?” said the Uncle before the break for commercials. “Uncle Henry Show continues. It’s 9:48 at NewsRadio 710. Let’s talk to Lee. Hello Lee”, said the Uncle. “I heard that (General David) Petraeus is all ready talking. I’m looking to what he has to say, but I’m not looking forward to what the democrats how to say”, said Lee. “Anyway, I was just curious on what you would like (for vice president)?” Lee asked concerning one of the presidential candidates with a membership in the Republican Party. “Very brief call from Lee”, said the Uncle. “And I got an e-mail from Rod. Rod, thank you”, said the Uncle, who has posted the listener’s message and his beautiful image online. “When you go to NewsRadio710.com, do not look at the bikini pictures”, the Uncle told listeners. “Here is an e-mail from longtime presence at NewsRadio 710 John McNeil”, said the Uncle. “I think the subject is ‘Clay Eaters’, which got my attention”, said the Uncle. “So the clay eaters are up there (on Highway 84)”, said the Uncle, who remembers a TV news report on clay eaters by WPMI-TV meteorologist Kelly Foster. “Is this John?” the Uncle asked our next caller. “I remember one of the TV stations also did it a couple of years ago”, said John, who was getting some Hall’s Meat sausages and noticed some clay eaters along the highway. “It sounds like people have been eating clay for centuries”, said the Uncle. “Who knows, I may even try some clay someday”, said John, who suggested mixing clay with Hall’s Meat sausages and other meat. “Get some clay and try it with something good for something”, said the Uncle before the break. After the final break for today, “All right, Uncle Henry Show has been very interesting today, hasn’t it?” the Uncle asked his listeners. “Apologies to Robert, he’s waiting”, said the Uncle before promoting some of the radio programs on his station. “Remember to pray, pray for others and read that Bible”, he reminded listeners at the end of the show.

We start off today's show with…


“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:06, six minutes after 9:00”, said the Uncle, who reminded listeners how to call the show either locally or long distance. “Let’s talk to Steve. Hello Steve!” he said to this hour’s first caller, who is “doing fine”. “There’s a lot of kids that don’t get to go to Six Flags in any given time”, said Steve. “They should be thankful for them (parents)”, said Steve, who remembers his papa saying he wanted to be on “The Price is Right” TV game show “because he knew the price of everything”. “Like they said in the Seventies, a lot of people would have liked that food”, said Steve. “You are absolutely right”, the Uncle responded. “We don’t have a lot of the suburban nature the way Mobile (does)”, said Steve as he discussed the bus system Bay Link for Mobile County and Baldwin County. “I ride the bus when there is one running”, said the Uncle, who would otherwise drive to work. “That would be awesome to have a mass transit system where it wouldn’t cost people a lot of money”, said Steve, who believes that would cost the city a lot of money. “I would, I would ride the bus”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Ricky. Hello Ricky”, he said to our next caller. “I want to know if you were arming yourself yet?” Ricky asked. “I don’t carry a weapon with me, but I have one in my home”, said the Uncle. “Well, that’s too bad”, Ricky responded. “The people on there (the school board in the Mobile County Public School System), they are just people. You may think you are a little higher than them sometimes”, said Ricky. “I’ve been thinking about—you know I like to ride the bus lately”, said the Uncle, who read a newspaper article about the Bay Link bus system this morning. “And I’m thinking about getting some nunchucks”, said the Uncle, who believes “a lot of children (including his grandson) are excited about nunchucks”. “I don’t think I’m flexible enough at my age to use nunchucks”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller George, who said “that previous caller stole my thunder” on the school board land issue. “When I first started going to real estate school, I got really interested in that land”, said George. “I was quite surprise when they didn’t want to send me any information, that it was leased”, George continued. “Well, the people that had that land leased seem to have quite a hold in my opinion”, according to George. “Very good, thank you very much”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller John. “You have been on the air for these umpteenth years”, said John, who was trying to recall the host of a gospel music radio program. “I don’t think it was Martin Johnson”, said the Uncle. “Let’s see if I can get an answer for you”, he said after John left us. “I think he did a show about social security for many, many years, but I don’t know about a gospel music show”, said the Uncle. “I’ve got a good one that they can save some money”, said our next caller, whose suggestion for the school board is “to turn those lights off in the nighttime”. “Maybe it’s something they want themselves”, said the caller. In response to previous caller John’s query, “This was back in my and your childhood days”, said our next caller Jim the Tax Man before he began “talking about some taxes” and the school board in his angry tone of voice. “We’ve got a bunch of fools that think about doing this stuff”, said Jim. “I’m agitated about this, you can tell!” said Jim, whose energy is something our host would want “every day of the week”. After the break for commercials and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Kermit, I am on your side of this”, said the Uncle in response to the recorded message. “We’ve had other things extinct, why not let the snakes go extinct?” said the Uncle. “We have Robert. Hello Robert”, he said to our next caller. “I was listening to your show last week and I heard Milton Morrow”, said Robert. “The very next day, he obviously didn’t take any of your advice”, said Robert, who said last Thursday’s guest is running for public office. “He said he was going to take your advice one day and on the very next day he apparently didn’t”, said Robert. “He has been very unsuccessful running for office over and over”, said the Uncle. “It must be fun for some people to do, because they do it over and over”, according to the Uncle. “We have had some politicians, who, in Mobile County run over and over for something”, said the Uncle. “Eventually Milton Morrow may get appointed for something”, our host believes. “Let’s talk to Mary. Hello Mary”, he said to our next caller, who recommended a front-page news article by the Press-Register. “Great show, great show. There was a great letter to the editor”, said our next caller Nick. “These folks up in Washington need to get these senators more involved (in a tanker airplane deal for Mobile County)”, said Nick. “That is a good letter to the editor about the whole Northrop-Grumman/Boeing site. Thank you, Nick”, said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Harbor Communications hotline number is (251) 479-2723, that’s 479-2723, or 1-888-360-WNTM”, said the Uncle. After listening to a station engineer, “There is a chance that we can expand the ‘podcast’ so we can include everything from 7:00 to 6:00 (AM)”, said the Uncle, who told listeners to “be patient” for those segments of the show. “That can really help out those that listen and want to hear more of the show”, he said before speaking to our next caller Happy. “We need some PR from Baldwin County too. You know that EADS deal [in] Foley?” said Happy. “Both of these counties [have] a PR problem”, Happy said about Mobile County and Baldwin County. “Well, I just wanted to bring you up on the racetrack”, said Happy before leaving us. “I don’t read the comics. All those comic writers of years past have all passed away”, said the Uncle as the noise of paper is heard in the background. “It’s been several years. All right, ‘Dennis the Menace’, I’ve always like that one”, said the Uncle before questioning the current status of “Peanuts” without its creator Charles Schulz. “Is this in reruns? It is. ‘The Wizard of Id’, I heard that guy (Brant Parker and Johnny Hart) passed away”, said the Uncle. “When they ended the draft, I think that should have been the end of ‘Beetle Bailey’ ”, said the Uncle, who asked if “that guy (Mort Walker)” is still alive drawing the cartoon. Our host never understood the appeal of ‘Garfield’. “I forgot all about ‘Snuffy Smith’, I need to read more”, said the Uncle, who told listeners they don’t know about ‘Snuffy Smith’. “ ‘Blondie’, I know that guy (Chic Young) passed away”, said the Uncle. “Uncle Henry’s e-mail address is unclehenry@newsradio710.com”, he reminded listeners. “I’ve had several people send me a attachment lately”, said the Uncle. “Very frustrating”, he admitted. “Let’s talk to Eddie. Hello Eddie”, he said to our next caller. “Hey, Henry, hope you’re having a good day”, said Eddie. “I want to say you’re right and I’m around your age”, said Eddie, whose two favorite newspaper cartoons include “the one with the big bear”, but couldn’t remember the name other than characters such as a bear and a porcupine. While referring to the Press-Register’s editorial cartoonist J. D. Crowe, “I think he’s a space cadet. I really think he’s a space cadet”, said Eddie. Before leaving us to save time, even though there is “more show left”, Eddie reminded our host that he agrees with his dislike for some the newspaper cartoons. “I don’t know the bear one. I don’t know if that’s ‘Smokey the Bear’ or ‘Pogo’ ”, said the Uncle before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle. “We had a new voice mailer off of several new voice mailers over the weekend”, the Uncle announced before playing the listener’s recorded message. “Thank you very much”, he said after the message. “I heard a lot of people talk about airplanes”, said the Uncle, who “has not heard of anyone complain about the number of planes the way they talk about cars”. “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Our final segment is next”, he said as bumper music played into the break. After the final break for today, a version of “The Pink Panther” theme music was used as bumper music as another voice message played. “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Happy Monday. We have the ‘Ask the Expert’ show coming up”, said the Uncle, who promoted some of the station’s other radio programs, including “Coast to Coast AM”, but not by name. “The UFO, ghosts and conspiracy theories”, he described the radio program before mentioning a beer study in the Sunday Press-Register. “I think 457 beers per person is a low number”, said the Uncle. “They just drink it like it’s water. I know some people. I got into a argument with some people over the past few months that give their beer to their dogs”, said the Uncle. “All right, out of time for today’s show! We’ve got free automobile advice coming up”, said the Uncle. “When you’re in doubt of what to do, you will find the answers within the pages of your Bible”, he reminded listeners at the end of today’s show.

Today’s 9 o’clock hour gets a 7/10!

Note

Folks, I spoke too soon in yesterday’s post about regular posting resuming, as I had personal business to take care of this morning. Also, today’s 9 o’clock hour of the show wasn’t very good to type about like most shows and my interest was not there. We may have better shows (in the 9 o’clock hour) next week. Good day!

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:05, five minutes after 9:00. Harbor Communications hotline number is (251) 479-2723”, said the Uncle before some rock ‘n’ roll music played without notice. “Now if you’re a fan of that music, if you like that, there is a story out there that if you’re a fan of this, you are voting for” a presidential candidate who is a member of the Republican Party, said the Uncle. “Male rock fans likely voting for a republican”, said the Uncle, who explained that “they polled more than 20,000 people” for the survey. “What is a classic rocket partisan? They are people that tune in to 96.1 The Rocket (WRKH-FM)”, said the Uncle, who was referring to the radio station under the same ownership (Clear Channel Communications) and roof (WKRG-TV5 building) as his station. “I can’t believe people who listen to this even care (about the presidential race)”, said the Uncle. “Now Trey Lane, you work on ‘The Rocket’ ”, he said while summoning the show’s current call screener. “Did you know that the vast majority of rock listeners are republicans?” the Uncle asked Trey, who had no idea. “Now the survey says people are [pretty] engaged in this election, even rockers. Who are rockers?” said the Uncle. “Would they be like 50 and they say these are rockers”, said the Uncle. “Yeah, 50s and 60s”, said Trey. “Now they say women and listeners of alternative radio are considered democratic”, said the Uncle, who asked what is alternative radio. R.E.M., Trey said for example of an “alternative” group of musicians. “Nirvana, do you play that on ‘The Rocket’?” the Uncle asked. “All right, we don’t have any R.E.M. or Nirvana”, said the Uncle, who believes this is some “conspiracy”. As the call screener returned to his work post, “Computer musician and 96-1 disc jockey Trey Lane”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Milton Morrow. “So you are a democrat and not a Led Zeppelin fan”, said the Uncle, whose caller enjoys the group Lynard Skynard. “So there is a mystery (Mobile County Commission) candidate that might be—you don’t know who it is”, said the Uncle. “You go in to help people, not to get attention”, Milton said about getting into public office. “Mike Dean has not said a word about annexation when there is a deal going on downtown with Sam Jones (mayor of Mobile)”, said Milton. “How do you know that he’s got a deal with Sam Jones?” the Uncle asked. “Let’s just say it runs down the democratic waistline”, said Milton. “Some of the parties are working together”, Milton mentioned. “The powers that be at city hall want him (Mike Dean) in there”, Milton concluded. “Is there any other news? You’ve been full of news”, said the Uncle. “You’ve got the grape line!” he added. “I took your advice, Uncle Henry, I’m better [off] behind the scenes”, said Milton, who won’t be running for public office such as the Congress of the USA. “Mike Dean, it looks like they crucified anybody running against Mike Dean”, said Milton before leaving us. “That is a shocking, shocking call”, said the Uncle. “Somebody on the Democratic Party endorsing a republican in that race for the commission. That is—I cannot remember the last time that this has happened”, said the Uncle before playing some “alternative radio” music. “Very different genres of the classic rock”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Joe. Hello Joe”, he said to our next caller. “Why did you start your call with ‘fold Tide fold’?” the Uncle asked Joe about his insult of the Alabama Crimson Tide. “People don’t call in here to say all those things”, said the Uncle, who used “Georgia stinks” for example. “Why do you want to be negative?” the Uncle asked. “It’s joyful to me when I say that”, said Joe. “How is it joyful to you?” the Uncle asked. “Henry, can I get to my point”, said Joe. “Do you catch me in the eye when you call?” the Uncle asked. “Now, let me ask you a question, Henry”, said Joe before bringing our attention related to the conflict in West Asia. “Did you hear that poll?” Joe asked. “So the guy who called up and said ‘Fold Tide fold’ is going to come up and talk about sensitivity?” the Uncle asked. “On tomorrow, which is April the 4th, it’s been 40 years since Martin Luther King was assassinated. Did you know that, Uncle Henry?” said Joe. “You is a patsy, Uncle Henry. That guy (the assassin), there is no way he could have done that alone”, said Joe. “They had on a special about the assassination of Martin Luther King, did you know that”, said Joe, who didn’t say the name of the radio program “Coast to Coast AM” until he was asked our by host. “Most of the time it’s about UFOs and ghosts”, said the Uncle. “Did they have any conspiracy theories last night?” he asked Joe about the show. “They’re going to have a special tonight”, Joe said about another special on the subject. “Well, I’m going to leave that to you. You have a blessed day!” said Joe before leaving us. Before taking a break for commercials, “We are going to cleanse our pack and have more Uncle Henry Show”, said the Uncle. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Let’s talk to David. Hello David”, said the Uncle. “I hear all these folks calling in about Mike Dean down there. He’s my commissioner, he’s our representative and he’s going to be our commissioner again as far as I can say”, said David, who saw a campaign sign promoting no new taxation. “I hear all these people call in and complain, it’s so amazing”, said David. “Anybody who wants to change what we have right now is crazy”, according to David. “So you’re a big Mike Dean supporter?” said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Wayne. Hello Wayne”, he said to our next caller. “Well good morning and Roll Tide Roll!” said Wayne. “There won’t be any reason for man to get up and go to work anymore” if they were to “rely on the government”, said Wayne before speaking directly to previous caller Joe, whom he referred to “my friend”. “Had the American people been told the story the day after the battle of Iwo Jima, they would have been against the war”, said Wayne. “Thank you very much for your phone call”, said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle, who gave listeners the local and toll free call-in numbers again. “Before we get back to the phones, you may remember that we had this (report) a couple of months ago that Jimmy Carter gave a TV interview”, said the Uncle. “Carter, he has not professed a direct (presidential candidate) endorsement”, the Uncle read, along with the suggestive language. “So that was Jimmy Carter’s veil statement on the offset of being titillated”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller. “What is the fax, I do not have the fax. What did you fax me?” said the Uncle. “Now here at the last minute he’s putting all this tax payer money into schools”, the caller said about Mike Dean. “I’m going to hang up and listen to you”, he said before leaving us. “The fax machine that serves an entire four people, so it may be in someone else’s stack”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller John. “Sooner or later we have to remember we can’t keep taking what you consider the risk” of taking from the middle class, said John, who referred to the Mobile Press-Register as “The Mobile Press” (old name of the weekday newspaper in Mobile) as the newspaper that won’t accept his letter to the editor. “You’ve got an 11% tax, that is ridiculous and you’re going to kill the golden goose”, said John. “Sooner or later those negative things (beach condominiums) are going to affect everything”, he said before leaving us. “If you’ve sent to publications, [send me] those e-mails”, said the Uncle, who gave listeners his electronic mail address before the break for commercials. After the break and two voice messages, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:50, we have the news coming up in about 10 minutes”, said the Uncle, who promoted the radio program “Ask the Expert” with host and radio reporter Charlie Moss. “You know I’ve been hearing all these callers this morning”, said our next caller, who also heard someone say “all right” with the belief that one presidential candidate is not going to be nominated by his political party. “As far as John Graham is concerned and I hope you are listening, I would not vote for you even if you were for dog catcher of Mobile County”, Franklin said to the Mobile County Commission candidate. “You have a very good rest of the day and I will call you again later next week”, said Franklin. “I also wish you a good rest of the day”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Marty. Hello Marty”, he said to our next caller. “I understand the need for idiotic roadblocks and so for”, said Marty, who believes “there are so many” that he has gone through “four of them during the daytime”. “We are using this as a source of revenue. That is the only thing I can come up with that they are using them for”, said Marty, who believes this is wrong and that roadblocks should be placed in “high crime areas” only. “Look, I would rather that more police be all over the place”, said the Uncle. “They’re just having purse snatchings and breaking an entry during the daytime”, said Marty. “We’re not catching most of them because of them setting up these roadblocks”, Marty continued. “I bet it’s coming down from the mayor’s office also. That’s my opinion”, Marty believes. “Have a great day, Henry!” he said before leaving us. “Let’s talk to Paul. Hello Paul”, said the Uncle. “If everybody would just plan out there [driving] routine”, Paul suggested for saving time and gasoline. “They just discovered a big oil find in northern Louisiana”, Paul mentioned. “Thank you. Very interesting program today”, said the Uncle. “If you want to continue this”, he said before reminding listeners how to leave a voice message by dialing (251) 706-BULL. “I will be checking the e-mail intermittently throughout the day”, said the Uncle before promoting some of the weekday radio programs on his station. “Remember to pray, pray for others”, said the Uncle, who also reminded listeners to find life’s answers “within the pages of your Bible”.

Today’s 9 o’clock hour gets an 8/10!
