We start off today's show with…


“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s a very nice morning, 86 (degrees) in the skies”, said the Uncle, who told listeners ahead of call screener Trey Lane evaluating a listener’s song. “I think it’s a song about road paving, I have not really—I have to listen to the lyrics again”, said the Uncle. “We’ll get to all of that, plus someone now phoning in limericks to the show. This show is the only program in the county that is open to poetry and verse”, he said before speaking to this hour’s first caller Jim, who hasn’t called in a while. “I’ve been working hard—working hard to pay taxes”, Jim explained before sharing what he saw near a local school. “The children were going out with each other (with apples)”, said Jim, who was concerned for his safety. “Let’s talk to Gene. Hello Gene, you’re on the Uncle Henry Show!” said the Uncle. “I called in about the school budget and the tax amount on the schools, I think both of them are for it”, said Gene. “I know you and I were very controversial on agreeing with this, but I understand this”, said the Uncle. “There’s going to be something else to be taxed because the state’s not going to suffer”, Gene predicts. “The money’s got to come from somewhere to pick up the slack”, he added. “You’re right on this”, the Uncle said in agreement. “Gene, thank you. Wonderful phone call. I hope you get to feeling better”, said the Uncle. “A couple of great articles in the Press-Register opinion section”, said our next caller Nick. “The basic problem with gasoline prices is the consumption”, said Nick. “Thank you very much for the phone call. Hope all is well on the farm”, said the Uncle before the break for commercials. After the break, music from the movie “The Magnificent Seven” was used as bumper music as a voice message played. After the music suddenly changed to Trey Lane’s theme music, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. We’re bringing Trey Lane here as our musical expert here on this story about American outsourcing. Trey Lane, as you may be aware of, the rock group Journey outsourced”, said the Uncle. “They had to go to the Philippines”, he explained. “I’ve been exposed to Journey for many years against my own will”, said the Uncle, who did commentaries on FM radio stations such as WKSJ-FM and WABB-FM, both of which were not identified on the show. “They (Journey) were on the Ellen DeGeneres alternative lifestyle show”, said the Uncle, who doesn’t like the TV program he doesn’t refer to by its proper name “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”. “I want your professional evaluation on the new outsourced lead musician”, our host requested before playing an audio clip of the new Journey singer. “All right, Trey Lane as a professional musician, what are your thoughts?” the Uncle asked. “I have to give the guy some credit”, said Trey. “He sounded like he hit some bad notes to me”, said the Uncle. “Well, it’s rock ‘n’ roll”, said Trey. “So you think he sounds good?” said the Uncle. “You know they’re going to rerecord all their hits with this guy”, he mentioned. “What?” Trey asked. “Yes”, the Uncle responded. “What?” Trey asked again. “Yes”, the Uncle said again before speaking to caller Steve. “In your opinion, just based on your opinion”, said the Uncle, who asked Steve if folks will embrace Journey’s new music. “Well Journey hasn’t been cool in about 20 years, so people will say what it is”, said Steve. “Well the Eagles just came out with a new CD and they made about a bazillion dollars”, said the Uncle before Steve got to the real reason he called. “One of the other radio stations—and I’m not going to plug another radio station on your show”, said Steve. “Thank you so much”, the Uncle said in appreciation. “I’ve got about 10 or 15 minutes to talk to you and I look forward to the rest of the day and I don’t even have Internet access in my life right now”, said Steve, who doesn’t “really need it”. “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Tom. Hello Tom”, he said to the next caller. “I’m a regular watcher of the Western channel of the Encore channel”, said Tom, who recalled the TV program “The Rifleman”. “And actually I went on the Internet to find Chuck Connors’ biography”, said Tom, who learned that “The Rifleman” actor “was a longtime personal friend of Ronald Reagan”. “He played baseball here in Mobile”, the Uncle mentioned among Chuck Connors’ credits. “Many Mobilians developed a relationship with Chuck Connors”, said the Uncle, who got a chance to meet the fellow during the 1980s and remembers his appearance on “The Randy Patrick Show” on WKRG-AM, now WNTM-AM. “You know, it’s been—I don’t know how many decades it’s been since I’ve seen ‘The Rifleman’ ”, said the Uncle, who remembers the show’s first episode and a young actor who was also a Mousekateer on “The Mickey Mouse Club”. “Once upon a time, the Mousekateers was good”, said the Uncle, who compared some of the original “Mickey Mouse Club” cast members with some of the cast members from “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club”. “We’re going to go from Ron to Franklin. Hello there, Franklin”, said the Uncle after losing Ron. “Well, Uncle Henry, I don’t think it’s part of the drug program to have random drug testing”, said Franklin, who believes “everybody in the Mobile County school system has to be drug tested”. “I like the idea—I like going through the schools with drug dogs”, said the Uncle. “Drug dogs, I like the drug dogs”, he continued. “Now there is nothing wrong with that. Why would you not want to walk pass the drug dog?” said the Uncle before suggesting the idea of having a drug dog in the radio station building to locate employees carrying illegal drugs. After the break, “The Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle before summoning Trey Lane with his theme music again in order to evaluate yet another song recorded by listener Crockett. “From what I can tell, it sounded like someone with a gravel road”, said the Uncle. “Did you get that? Hello?” the Uncle asked the call screener after hearing the song. “It made me feel like I was high. It was made me disoriented, I couldn’t focus on anything”, said Trey. “Please watch your language, please watch your language on this show”, said the Uncle. “There are elderly working on their projects listening to this show”, according to our host. “It made me feel strange. Loss of focus”, said Trey. To get the call screener’s edition, “I just would play the Crockett road song”, said the Uncle, though our call screener would rather listen to Crockett as his fictional character “Tiny McNugget”. After caller Ron returned, “You were also disoriented by that!” said the Uncle before the caller used the term “bull stuff” to describe the song. “I think something needed to done to my own head after listening to that song”, said the Uncle before Ron mentioned an earlier call by frequent caller Freddie. “Freddie, no ill will, but that call of the day, I felt mentally baggered”, said the Uncle. After the final break for today, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. ‘Ask the Expert’ coming up 10 o’clock”, said the Uncle before promoting some of the other weekday radio programs on his station. “Live talk throughout the day here on NewsRadio 710. There is a guy that’s calling in now with limericks. He is—he gave me a few calls yesterday”, said the Uncle before playing “Limerick Guy’s” voice message. “All right, that was one on the Carr Brothers (suspected criminals)”, said the Uncle before playing a couple of more “Limerick Guy” recordings. “All right now, here are my thoughts on this: The limerick deal with limericks here is that even if they’re not good, they’re good”, said the Uncle. “So if you want to share limericks, feel free”, said the Uncle, who appreciates the listener following current events and “tying in political commentary to your briefs”. Along with some electronic mail, our host will also post a recorded performance by singers Glen Campbell and Cher, which he believes is better than any current TV program. “Probably for the next several years, at least in my opinion, probably with the exception of ‘Rifleman’ reruns”, said the Uncle. “I guess I’m going to apologize for anybody that was disoriented by the ‘Rocky Gravel’ song”, said the Uncle, “I want to thank you so much for listening”, he said. “There’s been a great mix of callers today”, he said in reflection. While speaking directly to certain listeners, “I sure did appreciate your wrong opinions up for consideration”, said the Uncle. “Remember to pray, pray for others”, he reminded all listeners. “You are going to find the answers within your Bible”, he said at the end of the show.

“The Uncle Henry Show continues on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:06, six minutes after 9:00. It is a wonderful day here in south Alabama”, said the Uncle. “Let us talk to Rod. Good morning Rod—all right, lost Rod!” said the Uncle after losing the caller. “Rod is calling back and Trey Lane is in the studio, the call screening studio”, said the Uncle. “He’s been in and out more than ever before, but still able to screen the calls almost expertly”, he explained Trey’s actions between the coffee machine and his work post. “You were pointing out that law enforcement were trying to nip it in the bud (by drug testing public school students) before crime starts”, said Rod. “You have a calculator, Henry?” he asked our host. “I don’t have one in handy”, the Uncle answered. “I remember you had Jack Tillman on numerous times on your show when he was sheriff”, said Rod. “I didn’t have Jack Tillman on my show”, said the Uncle. “You were thinking of someone else’s show”, according to our host. “So you’re saying that it’s in the best interest of the county to have more drug users”, said the Uncle. “I guess I’m going to have to get myself a jail”, he concluded. “Speaking of crime, there’s a story in the news today, once again the Carr Brothers are back in the news”, said the Uncle. “You may remember that the Carr Brothers, their mama said they did not go into the CVS/Pharmacy”, said the Uncle before seamlessly playing an audio clip of the mama. “All right, they were eating the ice cream. WKRG News 5 was doing a story on this last night. Kimberley Curth very serious in this report”, said the Uncle, who prefers to use the station branding for WKRG-TV5. “Bob Clarke doesn’t talk like Perry Mason on Matlock”, he said about one of the lawyers in the case. “Let’s listen as the story unfolds”, he said before playing audio recorded yesterday from a newscast, including the “curse word bleeped by WKRG News 5”, as our host put it. “Very interesting comments from these lawyers”, said the Uncle after stopping the audio. “One of them doesn’t know how to use a computer. My year old grandson can just about do anything a person can do on a computer. Even did a lot of time on it”, said the Uncle. “I get e-mail from people who cannot [even] program their VCR”, said the Uncle before changing his voice to mock one of the lawyers. “It’s not NASA technology”, he said in his usual voice. “He is as innocent as the driven snow. Is that an actual—‘innocent as the snow’ ”, said the Uncle as he replayed some of the audio, including the censored expletive for bull manure. “I don’t know if Matlock ever did that or Perry Mason did. You can’t use that on TV”, said the Uncle. “This is all new to have a lawyer to TV”, said the Uncle, who wonders if this is “normal procedure” to say “innocent as the pure driven snow” followed by an expletive. “I wonder if you bill—the part of the billing that you charge per curse word?” the Uncle asked before admitting that he enjoys the Carr Brothers court case. After the break for commercials and a couple of voice messages bridged by bumper music, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Let’s talk to David. Hello there, David”, said the Uncle. “Hello”, said David. “Yes, good morning, David”, the Uncle responded. “You go to a court of law and present facts and the judge and the jury determines what the facts present”, said David as he reminds our host about the legal system before getting to our host’s computer comments. “I’m just saying that you just kind of threw it (the computer comments) out there, but that goes into people’s minds”, said David. “Well when a lawyer says that on the news, that goes into people’s minds like my mind”, said the Uncle. “It is a lawyer on TV who said what he said”, the Uncle continued. “I’m seeing that they have to go into court and they’re going to accept the true fact”, said David. “Well a radio talk show like this is where people express their opinion”, said the Uncle, who finds “it fair game to express my opinion” on what was said by the lawyers. “I’m saying that if you’re going to give your opinion, it should be based on facts”, said David. “You’re just saying that I should not express an opinion on a news story I’ve seen on Channel 5”, said the Uncle. “No I didn’t”, David responded. “That is exactly what I heard you say!” said the Uncle. “I know where you’re coming from, you want ratings”, said David. “I don’t think I’m going to get spectacular ratings for talking about the Karr Brothers”, said the Uncle. “That’s why they talk into the microphone”, said the Uncle, who believes the lawyers “want opinions”. “And this is a show about opinions”, the Uncle added. “This show—talk shows are about opinion and you’re saying you shouldn’t give an opinion because it’s a case”, the Uncle continued. “Who are you for?” David asked. “I’m not talking about their innocence. I’m talking about what the attorneys said”, said the Uncle. “Well, in the United States of America, for someone to be the age of one of these [attorneys] and don’t know how to use a computer” is fascinating, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Gary. Hello Gary”, he said to our next caller. “I listen to you a lot and I enjoy your show”, said Gary before sharing a couple of points with listeners, including “a reason this Bob Clark is a high dollar attorney”. “They are out on bond on different crimes. Every time you post a bond, you get 10% on that”, said Gary. “What is your opinion on that?” Gary asked. “Well, the last caller doesn’t want me to have an opinion on that. I don’t think I should be answering that question”, said the Uncle. “Thank you for that call, Uncle Henry Show continues after the news”, he said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. If you would wait about—wait for Trey Lane to get his coffee, you can give him a call”, said the Uncle before speaking to caller Steve on hold. “Honestly, if this was like a first offense, I think the Blue Bell Homemade Ice Cream defense would work a lot better”, said Steve. “It doesn’t look good, the Blue Bell defense doesn’t look good and the B. S. (abbreviated expletive for bull manure) defense”, said Steve, who is “blessed” that he has yet to hire a lawyer or pay a bond. “A lot of people who don’t commit crimes don’t have to bother with any of this stuff”, said Steve. “Again, we’ve got to have the innocent until proven guilty”, said the Uncle. “Let’s just see what happens with the Smoothie King thing and the other robberies, but all this stuff about the—what is this called, the illusion of crime?” said Steve. “The perception of crime”, said the Uncle. “Thank you for the word”, said Steve. “I’m all about putting criminals in jail. I think they be doing the whole under the jail”, said Steve before leaving us. “I think it a wonderful pleasure to have you return to the Uncle Henry Show”, the Uncle said to our next caller Mr. C., who just turned 88 years of age “a week ago”, as the caller put it. “I’m a little hard of hearing, so you’ll have to bear with me”, said Mr. C. “Now let me ask you something: I am concerned about these people that are rooting for someone that are of a particular race or of a particular gender”, said Mr. C., who was referring to the race for the presidency of the USA and some of the candidates. “What they’re thinking in my opinion is racial”, said Mr. C., who believes these supporters should go “by what they believe”. “When (Adolf) Hitler went into Poland and those other countries, first thing they took was all their guns away from them”, said Mr. C., who believes the two presidential candidates he referred to are against guns. “What happened before can certainly happen again”, said Mr. C. “I firmly believe that if people were to look back into the Lord and let [Him] back into their heart”, said Mr. C. , who believes the USA was founded “as a Christian nation” and defended that belief. “I remember you and your program in my prayers every night for continuous success”, said Mr. C. “If they want to arrest me for that, let them go out after me”, he said before leaving us. “A lot of people—they ask whatever happened to Mr. C.”, said the Uncle before speaking to caller Mike. “I have an opinion, it’s not fact, it’s not something I have to approve in a court of law, but the same people who are worried about the national debt, the taxes, and the gas prices are the same people” who are contributing to the problem, said Mike. “That is my opinion and I wanted to throw that out there”, he said before leaving us. “Thank you, Mike, very deep”, said the Uncle before reminding listeners how to call in during or after the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Ken. Hello Ken, good morning”, he said to the next caller. “It was good hearing from Mr. C.”, said Ken. “Next Tuesday, June 3rd is indeed election day”, Ken reminded listeners after hearing a political campaign ad for a Mobile County Commission candidate. “I just wanted to call in and remind them to get out and vote next Tuesday”, said Ken before leaving us, allowing our host to summon call screener Trey Lane with his theme music. “He’s our connection with the world of youth”, said the Uncle, who also promoted Trey Lane’s job by the title of “radio personality” on WRKH-FM, which our refers to by the brand name “96-1 the Rocket”. “Is there any excitement about the primary coming up next week”, the Uncle asked, along with a question of participation among folks close to Trey. “Some will, but everybody’s pretty much sick of it”, said Trey. “If I would convince myself if there’s any point to it, I will (vote)”, said Trey. “That is a sad commentary, especially for someone who is forced to listen to a talk show”, said the Uncle. “I want to ask you about this story that Tim (Sam Marston IV) called in about”, said the Uncle before describing a newspaper article and crediting the writer. “Now as someone who lives downtown, do you ever see this”, the Uncle asked about the lewd activity captured on video. “So you ask me if this is normal?” Trey asked before answering the previous question with, “More or less”. “How often am I going to see people urinating in the street” or in a brawl, the Uncle questioned with the exception of weekends. “Have you been involved in any brawls?” the Uncle asked. “Not recently”, Trey answered. “How long ago was your brawl?” the Uncle asked. “I didn’t say I had any brawls”, said Trey, who doesn’t “want to say” if he was ever in a brawl. “Is he or is he not a brawler? That certainly adds a layer of mystique to Trey Lane with his attitude toward politics somehow influence his past with brawling”, said the Uncle. After the final break for today, “Uncle Henry Show concluding. It’s been quite the show, so much to discuss, tempers flaring”, said the Uncle. “I don’t know why a lot of Mobilians have been so drastic today. My goodness, gracious”, he said. “Coming up, we have news from FOX News, fair and balanced”, he said, along with the radio network’s promotional tagline before promoting the local radio program “Ask the Expert” and its host Charlie Moss “pacing in the hallway” before the show. After promoting some of the other weekday radio programs on his station, “Thank you for listening! Remember to pray, pray for others and when you’re in of what to do, read within the pages of your Bible”, said the Uncle.

“Uncle Henry Show continues. Thank you so much”, said the Uncle before responding to a listener’s voice message. “I would love to go over [to] see the chickens eat some spaghetti”, he said before speaking to caller Steve. “I never heard of that”, Steve said about the recorded message, “but it’s pretty amusing. Yeah, I was a victim of a crime yesterday”. “Oh no! What happened?” the Uncle asked. “Someone somehow tapped into my business account and paid their telephone bill”, said Steve. “Unfortunately, I have to send someone (off) to jail”, said Steve, who all ready knows the criminal. “We’ll see what happens. I’ll keep you informed, but if people put this much effort in keeping and working a job” they would make more money, said Steve. “The only thing I can think of it was some clerk who accepted a check in a Wal-Mart”, said Steve, whose account “is currently frozen” for the time being. “It could be Wal-Mart. It could be any other number of places like Lowes”, Steve continued. “Yeah, it’s amazing what the criminal mind does to work with”, he said. “I’m sorry I’m not going to go knock on the door in Prichard”, said Steve, who was referring to the criminal’s home. “The fact that she lives in Prichard doesn’t make up for the fact that she’s a criminal”, he explained. “I hope for her sake because I’m a Christian man and I don’t wish ill on anyone”, said Steve. “I hope for her sake that she doesn’t have a long criminal history”, said Steve, who also hopes she doesn’t have children to care for or set a bad example for. “But I just can’t just let this go”, said Steve before using the lies of a president and an “affair” for example of what should not be excused. “I’m not talking about the current president, I was talking about a previous president”, said Steve. “Oh, yes!” the Uncle responded. “I had my bank account messed up many years ago”, the Uncle remembers. “I’ve been very on edge for the past couple of months that I don’t know what I would have done to go see this person”, said the Uncle, who suggested having a family member be his “phone buddy” to convince him not to go directly to the bank account criminal. “You won’t hear a show like this anywhere in the country”, said the Uncle after hearing Steve’s call and the strange recorded message. “This is a one of a kind and it’s for you”, he said before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, “I could have done without that. Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Tuning into the Memorial Day weekend, I will be in here [on] Monday”, said the Uncle. “And Trey Lane will not be in here”, he added. “Yep”, Trey responded before our host mentioned the call screener’s “shocking” revelation from a previous hour of the show. “Trey Lane revealed that he had gone to see the new Indiana Jones movie”, said the Uncle. “So what do you think?” he asked Trey. “Besides spending an hour and a half of your life sitting” and eating popcorn, said Trey, who liked the movie. “I was entirely too young to see the first one”, said Trey, who remembers being terrified. “You don’t like the second one?” Trey asked our host about “the most loved of the whole serial”. “The first one’s good, I like it a lot”, said Trey. “It was him running around in the entire movie”, said the Uncle. “The action never stopped”, according to our host. “And I better not mention it, we better keep it PG”, said Trey before using the term “least crappist” to describe the role in the movie played by Cate Blanchett. “I don’t remember the third one, I don’t remember who the boss was”, said the Uncle. “Here’s my favorite top three, David Letterman style”, said Trey, whose list of made up movie titles ended with, “Close Encounters of the Turd Kind”. “Don’t ever use that language on this show”, the Uncle said angrily. “Legendary mystical relics should not be disturbed”, said Trey. “I remember them being tied up or something (in the third movie)”, said the Uncle. “Well, well done, Trey Lane!” our host said about the call screener’s “excellent review” of the new movie. “I don’t know what had happened to George Lucas”, said the Uncle before using some of the director’s movies for example. “The last four of the six (“Star Wars” movies) were just awful”, said the Uncle before the break for commercials. After the final break for today and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show concluding for the week”, said the Uncle. “What an interesting week”, he said in reflection of the show. “Just remember on the weekend the ‘Click It or Ticket’ ”, said the Uncle before mentioning “a co-worker here who was breaking the law on Government Street” in downtown Mobile by going 45 miles per hour. “That was a good job being done by the Mobile Police Department”, said the Uncle. “He could have had pounds and pounds of marijuana”, he supposed. “A very controversial week for the ‘Neocon Ron’ Mike Dean song”, said the Uncle near the end of the show.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:05, five minutes after 9:00. The telephone number, the Harbor Communications hotline number is (251) 479-2723”, said the Uncle. “Let us talk now to Ben. Hello Ben”, he said to the first caller this hour. “This show just keeps getting better”, said Ben, who is “a little bit bitter toward all the negativity against Mr. (Mike) Dean” of the Mobile County Commission. “I don’t try not to lynch him?” the Uncle asked, repeating Ben’s words (“don’t try to lynch him”). “That’s what I think”, said Ben. “There’s no such thing as an electronic lynching”, said the Uncle. “With the Legislature, to use a football analogy, you have ALFA Insurance and the banks in the state of Alabama”, said Ben. “And all those football teams are on the field”, Ben continued, yet “none of the people are being served”. “One of my opponents had the support of ALFA”, said Ben, who ran for public office. “If this man got caught selling milk without a license, I don’t know what will happen to him”, Ben said about a fellow he cannot name “or else the police will be after him”. “Thank you, very, very interesting phone call”, said the Uncle, though he thought Ben was “very off base”. “I was watching the news yesterday and they were talking about John Tyson” and the arrest of “this shoe shine guy”, said the caller. “You can see that the D. A. and his people they looked at it and they thought the guy was acting in self defense”, said the Uncle. “It seems to me that it’s up and up the wild, wild west”, said the caller. “Let us talk to Steve. Hello Steve”, said the Uncle. “I didn’t know anything about that case either”, said Steve, who is for self-defense and believes he would be vindicated in court for such a defense. “That’s not what I call up for”, said Steve, who actually wanted to talk about “this circus up in Washington” concerning oil companies. “Research wiped out all of their American profits is what I heard on the news this morning”, said Steve. “If they start punishing all these oil companies what’s going to happen is that gas prices are not going to go down”, said Steve. “We had a story this morning about some farmer in the mid west investing” and pumping his own oil, said the Uncle. “Why don’t they bring Tom Hanks”, Steve suggested for the Congress of the USA. “Because we’ve got a choice to go to a Tom Hanks movie”, said the Uncle. “Maybe we’ll be in there someday where we have a government telling us when we’re making too much money”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Glenn. Good morning, Glenn”, he said to our next caller. In response to Ben’s call, “Anything you say in a public arena is [bound] for political satire”, said Glenn, who believes that politicians should have a good sense of humor. “I tell you what, the federal government really has their fingers in everything”, said the Uncle as Glenn discussed public schools. “Why would anyone want to vote for an elected democrat?” Glenn asked, “Someone call and please explain it to me!” “Get some gumption for God’s sake”, Glenn said before our host had to take a break for commercials. “I understand this half a day school situation”, said the Uncle before the break. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Let me caution you, it’s not appropriate for you to think what people on TV would look like wearing different types of clothing”, said the Uncle, who was responding to the listener’s recorded message concerning WKRG-TV5 meteorologist Jene’ Young and WALA-TV meteorologist John Edd Thompson. “All right, I’m activating the Freddie alert system”, said the Uncle as an alarm sound effect is used once again for a specific caller. “All right, mental preparations have been made”, he said before Freddie spoke. “I want you to not be our water boy for Steve Nodine”, said Freddie after recalling “another radio station (WABB-AM) that no longer carries the (local) talk show” which frequently had the county commissioner and former city councilman as a studio guest. “You’re the one that called up and said the Tax Man (Jim) was a drunk”, said the Uncle, who wants to know the difference between Freddie’s accusation and Steve Nodine being called “a fool”. “That’s why I found your calls disorienting, I don’t know when you’re in satire and when not”, said the Uncle. “You are a good talk master in this city, but don’t get me in a political situation with Mr. Dean and Mr. Graham”, said Freddie. “It was a caller with a political satire song”, said the Uncle. “You never heard me in here railing against him on this show”, the Uncle said in self-defense. “You said Mike Dean call this station about someone calling in” Freddie asked. “You say I should not talk during local elections?” the Uncle asked. “That’s exactly what you said!” the Uncle shouted, causing Freddie to laugh. “Talk show hosts are not suppose to have an opinion”, said the Uncle, who added, “I’m not hired in here to have an opinion”. “You’re putting all these other things in here that have nothing to do with it (listener ‘Neocon Ron’s” song)”, our host later said. “Look, Freddie, I’ve got to run for the news”, said the Uncle, who found the caller “off base” this time. “I’ve shared with you reactions of other calls on that action”, said the Uncle. “All of it is your fault and not the reality”, he said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“I don’t know about that”, said the Uncle in response to a recorded message, “I like Spam. I think Spam—I think Spam is my line and I think it should be”. “Also corn beef”, he added before speaking to the next caller without reintroducing listeners to the show. “If you’re going to bring religion into war, there were a lot of wars in the Bible”, the Uncle said to our next caller. “A lot of innocents were killed in Nazareth, weren’t they?” he asked. “Go in there and look at the all things going on in there in the Bible”, he suggested. “Let’s talk to Holly”, said the Uncle. “I would love to hear an hour long program of you and Freddie in the studio with you and you doing your thing”, said Holly. “I don’t know if I would keep up with the subjects he addresses”, said the Uncle, who might try hosting such a show. “I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful Memorial Day”, said Holly before leaving us. “You know, I thought it. Tim would do the same thing, but Freddie is so fast he can change topics within seconds. It’s not an insult towards him”, said the Uncle. “Mentally I will have my own view wise up as a counter point”, the Uncle continued. “It’s like juggling, mentally juggling. I’m really mentally in that sense”, he said. “Let’s talk to—let’s see here—Johnny. Hello Johnny”, said the Uncle. “I just think that if we had gambling and put it all (the money) in the schools, we wouldn’t have a problem”, said Johnny. “I think you should be the governor of the whole state”, said Johnny, who suggested making Alabama, the cities of New Orleans and Pensacola part of one big state. “I’m trying to call in once a week”, said our next caller “Top Cat”, who thought our host’s show was the only local radio talk show on the station (the other show is “Ask the Expert”). After mentioning the waters along the Florida coast, “Now how are they going to make an argument against the drill (for oil)?” the Uncle asked “Top Cat”. “I mean there’s no reasonable argument against the drilling”, our host concluded. “Everyone wants to put the blame on all the oil companies because they’re making [all] the profits”, said “Top Cat”. “The government once again, Uncle Henry, is the problem and doing away with federalism” is what we need to do, according to “Top Cat”. “There is zero leadership in energy”, said the Uncle. “Trey Lane, don’t go smoking yet”, he told the show’s call screener, whom he wants in the studio to hear his “own professional musician’s opinion” about another song made by a listener. “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. You remember when Ben Brooks and Lowell Barron got into it (a verbal fight)”, said the Uncle before playing audio of the latter state senator. “Trey Lane, are you in there?” he asked the call screener, who was also asked if his band Seduction Bomb is performing this weekend. “You know that mules are the wave of the future?” the Uncle asked after Trey mentioned the location of his band’s performance, The Blind Mule. “Are we going to have mule powered cars now?” Trey asked jokingly. “You as a professional musician are going to evaluate a new song by ‘Neocon Ron’ ”, said the Uncle, who also wants Trey to “perforate” a voice message. “All right, Trey Lane, as a professional musician, also as a solo artist and a member of the group Seduction Bomb”, said the Uncle as he prepares to ask the caller screener for his feelings toward the song. “Wow, what a great, what a great song!” said Trey, who found the song very interesting. “Very subtle also”, said the Uncle before recalling Lowell Barron “getting popped upside the head a year ago” by another state senator and the verbal fight with Ben Brooks. “I want you to interpret a voice mail for me”, the Uncle requested that Trey does. “Please interpret this for me”, he said before playing the listener’s recorded message. “You know you want ‘Neocon Ron’ because he does the hits”, said Trey before returning to his work post, allowing our host to again promote Seduction Bomb’s performance this Saturday. “I think a female vocalist” is in the band, said the Uncle before recalling Trey’s instrumental role in the group. After the final break for today, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. FOX News coming up at 10 o’clock. Let’s talk to George. Hello George”, said the Uncle before realizing that he lost the caller. “All right, George is gone”, he said before our next caller assumed that George is “getting ready for Rush Limbaugh” on this station. After mentioning a news article he sent to our host by electronic mail, “Just to give you the gist of this”, said the caller, “Todd Davis, who has been locking up criminals for years” advertises the Life Lock System. “Rush Limbaugh, as you know is a big advertiser of the Life Lock System”, said the caller before mentioning the lawsuits against Todd Davis by folks in the state of Maryland and the state of Texas. “All right, that’s the kind of story as it’s being played”, said the caller before mentioning the Life Lock advertisement for this morning’s radio comment by Rush Limbaugh. “I am so glad you brought that up, people need to know that story!” said the Uncle. Before leaving us for the day, “When you’re in doubt, the kind of answers you need are within the pages of your Bible”, said the Uncle.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It’s 9:06, six minutes after 9:00. Telephone number is (251) 479-2723”, said the Uncle after a listener’s voice message preceded this hour’s regular bumper music. “Now we can have the political satire songs, I received an e-mail at 8:45 this morning”, said the Uncle, whose electronic mail came from folks “above” him at the radio station. “So now we have the ability to play the songs, instead of just playing the songs, it would be instructional for the people” to put the songs in context, he explained. “So let’s start things off”, he said while introducing a recording of a WKRG-TV5 newscast, including a report on “those terrible dirt roads” in Mobile County. “So let’s listen to the story”, he said before playing the recording. “All right, yes, the legislation passed and that largely was due to Commissioner (Mike) Dean saying it was the (Alabama) Legislature’s fault that he [couldn’t] pave the road”, said the Uncle before introducing a listener’s ridiculous song parody to the tune of “Billie Jean”, which was playing in the background of the parody lyrics. “The song that Mike Dean didn’t want anyone to hear by saying ‘yes’ when he didn’t say ‘no’ ”, said the Uncle as the music begins. “That’s the song, the offending song that caused so much upset”, said the Uncle after the song ended. “They would let it be legal for the county to repave these private roads”, said the Uncle. “Let’s listen to the follow up story that Channel 5 did”, he said before the next recording. “All right, you heard the voice of the man in there [say] that no one gave an excuse to a right (of way)”, said the Uncle. “Looking at the video on the Channel 5 story, you need someone that—people that are not in mansions that are living in house trailers have to put in a covert”, according to our host. “Now I’m very curious about how these people were left before they had to pay for coverts”, said the Uncle. “Other parts of the state, they don’t want anything like this”, the Uncle continued. “Now they’re going to have a process where the county is petitioned on a regular basis” to pave dirt roads, said the Uncle. “You may have noticed that somebody is running for office saying, ‘No new taxes’ ”, said the Uncle, though no new taxes have been proposed. “The financial implications of this are deep and the frustration giving a lot of people hope that they’re going to get private roads taken care of”, said the Uncle. “This is all very, very [deep] and I think it all would have to do with politicians blaming other politicians”, according to our host. “Finally, ‘Neocon Ron’, who sang the song: beautifully, beautifully written lyrics”, said the Uncle. “Here’s the ‘Neocon Ron’ statement about his Mike Dean song”, he said before playing the listener’s recorded message. “All right, so that’s the statement. I guess that clears that up. Now all of it’s in context”, said the Uncle. “Uncle Henry Show continues”, he said before the first break for commercials after almost 19 minutes of show time this hour. After the break, a version of the theme music to the TV program “Bonanza” was used as bumper music. “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Gene. Hello there, Gene”, he said to the first caller this hour. “Thank you, Henry”, said Gene before asking our host about the location of some dirt roads. “You say there are people who don’t want somebody to go and help them out?” the Uncle asked. “There are people that are sick, there are people that are disabled”, said Gene. “It’s a pathetic place to go down that road”, Gene continued. “You have to dodge those holes, especially in the rain”, said Gene. “It’s dangerous if you can’t get an ambulance down there”, according to Gene. After petitioning the county, “I think they’re going to have to pay for any coverts, things like that”, said the Uncle. “All right, Gene. Thank you”, said the Uncle. “Ok”, Gene responded before leaving us. “I was shocked to go back in the woods, way in the woods” and find a subdivision, the Uncle remembers. “There are so many questions about what it’s going to cost the county and what it’s going to cost the people on the road”, said the Uncle. “Was there false hope given”, our host wondered. “News time is 9:30 at NewsRadio 710”, he announced before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle before responding to a listener’s voice message. “I don’t care if you smoke. I wouldn’t do it myself, just go right ahead. Don’t just blow on me. I don’t want you blowing on me. You sound kind of grouchy”, said the Uncle. “In the past I’ve been in support of restaurant owners and I want to say if they want to set up a restaurant business (that allows smoking)”, said the Uncle. “I’m sure we’ll have a smoking ban sooner or later in the state of Alabama”, said the Uncle, who believes “it might happen in the next couple of years” rather than after his lifetime. “We are now back up and running” in call screening, our host said to other listeners who tried to call in over the past 45 minutes. “It was quite dramatic”, he said after witnessing a computer expert working on the call screening system. “He was in there installing stuff during the show”, said the Uncle before speaking to caller Curtis. “I remember back in 1966 I attended C. W. Coswell and I barely remember every single morning Mrs. Coswell whooped me”, said Curtis. “She got my attention, Uncle Henry”, said Curtis. “Was she whooping you because she didn’t like you or were you misbehaving?” the Uncle asked before learning that Curtis did not misbehave. “After all that, she delivered me to the second grade”, said Curtis, who reminded our host that “she got my attention”. “I’m glad that you called. Hey, you know what, I’m going to go ahead and make an assumption. That’s always dangerous”, said the Uncle. “That is really, that is—I got a whooping also. It wasn’t everyday”, said the Uncle. “I would recall every whooping in distinct of every circumstance. I had a series of whoopings” in every circumstance, said the Uncle. In the electronic mail box, or e-mail box, “I have a variety of things”, said the Uncle. “Good news from a local school”, he said about one of the messages. “I will be here on Memorial Day. You don’t have to be”, said the Uncle. “You can honor Memorial Day by not being here”, he told the show’s call screener Trey Lane, “but I’ll be here”. “I’ll be here doing a live ‘Best of’ show”, said the Uncle. “I might be doing an hour of ‘Talk Show Heaven’ ”, said the Uncle, who may “pull out some (audio) tape of talk show callers” that are no longer on Planet Earth. “I’m going to do another hour, which is just music of the Uncle Henry Show”, said the Uncle, who mentioned his accumulation of numerous pieces of music aired on the show. “There is enough to do an entire show of it”, said the Uncle, who will continue to provide news and weather during the 6 o’clock and 7 o’clock hours of the show as usual on Monday. “Live programming at your convenience”, he said before the break for commercials, including a live commercial for Hall’s Meats products from Chickasaw, Alabama. “If I happen to tell you that you remind me of Hall’s Meats, that means that I really, really like you a lot”, said the Uncle in his promotion. After the break, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It is 9:46”, said the Uncle, who also gave listeners the temperatures for today according to WKRG-TV5 meteorologist John Nodar. After attempting to speak to caller Zach, “We’ll have people kind of dose off”, said the Uncle, “so Zach, if you happened to awaken because of the dial tone of your phone”. After a second attempt with the caller, “You sound muffled”, Zach told our host. “We do have a long distance number (1-888-360-WNTM) that is available”, said the Uncle, who was told he had long distance calls from places such as Appleton, Alabama. “If you are hearing the program from there, you can call in”, said the Uncle. After the final break for today and a ridiculous voice message, “Man, I don’t know—I guess that was an attempt to make me mad. I don’t know. I don’t know anybody besides that type of person, I don’t know anybody like that”, said the Uncle. “I guess in West Virginia”, he supposed. “I don’t anybody like you described”, he said to the caller in the recorded message. “That is an usual laundry list of lies”, the Uncle added. “Let’s talk to Pete. Hello Pete”, said the Uncle. “I just heard that message and I tried to call in and I just have to say I’m proud to be a republican because we believe in freedom”, said Pete. “We are a righteous people [who] only need a few representatives in government”, said Pete, who admits that doesn’t “hate democrats” and would appreciate no one “demagoging” anyone. “If they get to enough Mobile GOP events, maybe they will convert”, said Pete before leaving us. “Well good morning, Uncle Pete—I mean Uncle Henry. I was just thinking about Pete’s call”, said our next caller, who thought the previous caller was “well educated” before sharing his thoughts about private roads. “It’s just not right for these tax payers to go into these areas” and improve it “at the tax payer’s expense”, said the caller. “Now they want the tax payers to come in and subsidize”, the caller explained. “I’m sure that the e-mail addresses are easy to find on the county website”, said the Uncle. “Out of time for the show. We have the news next from FOX. After the news, we have ‘Ask the Expert’”, said the Uncle, who also promoted the station’s other weekday programs with the exception of the overnight show “Coast to Coast AM”.

Today's Show

We start off today's show with…


“It’s 9:05, five minutes after 9:00. The Uncle Henry Show continues”, said the Uncle before introducing “a very special guest” in the studio. “Pete (Ream) of the Mobile GOP”, said the Uncle, whose guest introduced listeners to studio guest Rear Admiral Vic Guillory of the USA’s Navy. “Now you’ve been in the Navy since 1978. How has this been all different”, said the Uncle. “I know that there have been some changes from 1978 to 2008”, the Uncle continued. “Now that is a great question, Uncle Henry”, said Vic. “Over that time when I first came to the Navy, there had been a draft, we were just coming off from Vietnam”, said Vic. After fast forwarding to the Navy of 2008, “They’re doing our nation’s work with technology we couldn’t even dream of”, said Vic. “Is there still a role for the Navy when it comes to actual military action?” the Uncle asked. “They were there on the coast of New Orleans a few years back”, said Vic, who was referring to the Navy after a hurricane in 2005. “The Navy is out there too in our nation’s wars when we have to”, Vic mentioned. “This thing’s going to be built in Mobile”, said the Uncle, who asked the admiral about a certain ship to be constructed. “It’s a ship that’s built around technology”, said Vic. “This is going to be the fastest ship we’ve ever had when the Navy commissions it”, Vic believes. “I can’t tell you how excited we are”, he admitted. “Today, we need to be out there operating close to shore”, said Vic. “I think 30 years from now”, he predicts, “I think we’re going to recognize this moment” in Mobile naval history. “You’re going to be speaking at the luncheon today, also at the Bay Luncheon”, said the Uncle. “We’ll be back with a few more moments with the admiral as the Uncle Henry Show continues”, he said before the break for commercials. After the break, music from the TV program “Star Trek” was used as bumper music. “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. We have here with us Rear Admiral Vic Guillory”, said the Uncle before speaking to this hour’s first caller Al. “You are here with the admiral”, our host reminded the listener. “Well sir, thank you very much for the call and more importantly thank you for your service”, Vic told the caller, who was the first numerous callers to say “welcome to Mobile”. “On behalf on all of those in uniform, I thank you for what you’ve done”, said Vic before the next caller. “It’s amazing to me how many people are showing their patriotism and saying the Pledge of Allegiance with pride”, said the caller, who believes his papa and in-law are thankful. “Thank you for those kind words and give my [regards] to your dad”, said Vic before the next caller Larry introduced himself to studio guest Pete Ream, who recognized Larry’s voice. “That is the C. F. C. number for Homes for Our Troops”, said Larry, who gave out his organization’s telephone number. “Admiral, thanks again for coming to Mobile”, said Larry. “Uncle Henry, thanks for having these guys on the show”, Larry said before leaving us. “My first tour in the Navy was in Japan”, said Vic in response to our next caller’s question. “We do recognize there is a significant cost with the back and forward, but we do give options to our young military”, he said before our host spoke to Rema. “I’m a veteran myself”, said Rema. “Thank you for serving the county”, she told the admiral. “Thank you for the men and women”, said Vic, who believes Rema represents a good part of the folks he referred to. “I want to give you a little backdrop”, said our next caller, who mentioned his son’s training in the USA’s Marine Corp before sharing his memories of the Service. “Well, the Navy and the Marine Corp. is a solid team”, said Vic. “He’s going to make us all proud as he has all ready”, he said about the caller’s son. “Let’s try Ed one more time. Hello Ed”, said the Uncle, whose first attempt to speak to Ed failed. “It’s a little premature to say we’re going to nip down to one or two ships”, Vic told the caller. “Ok, thank you very much for the phone call, Ed. I appreciate that”, said the Uncle before speaking to caller Bill, who was also told “you are on with the admiral”. “I wasn’t in the Navy, I was in the military, the Air Force”, said Bill. “I noticed in the media lately where these small service boats are approaching our ships over there”, said Bill without specifying region, but mentioned the ship the USS Cole. “They seem to get away with a lot of things getting close to our ships”, said Bill. After reminding listeners about the ship plans in Mobile, “This is where we need to go and that’s [why] we’re imperative on [having] these ships”, said Vic. “Uncle Henry, thank you for your hospitality”, said Vic, who also thanked “all the veterans in your listening audience”. “I wish them the best”, Vic added. “We have news next and then we have more Uncle Henry Show”, said the Uncle before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. I think that is one of the most marvelous ideas”, said the Uncle after listening to frequent caller “The Idea Guy’s” voice message. “Adopt a mile program for the illegals (immigrants)”, he said before reminding listeners how to call in to be part of the show. “Over the years I have enjoyed the food at McDonald’s”, said the Uncle before playing the role of a curious listener questioning him. “I just specifically enjoy the french fries”, said the Uncle, who also enjoys french fries from Wendy’s. “Uncle Henry, why would you bring that up?” he asked himself while again in the role of a listener before announcing McDonald’s plan to change the french fry cooking oil at all their restaurants in the USA “by the end of the year”. “This is a huge challenge for McDonald’s, they announced they’re going to—they announced they’re going to do this many years ago”, said the Uncle. “Why can’t they just make them the way they’ve always made them and put a warning label on them”, said the Uncle. “Why not?” he asked after mentioning labels such as “Not for Minors”. “Why can’t they just have the new healthy fries and the old deadly fries?” he asked before our next caller. “Let’s talk to John. Hello John. Hello John, good morning!” said the Uncle. “This taking away of the french fries is one more freedom of choice being taken away”, said John. “Who is the person (at the station) that makes those decisions if we disagree, that we call him or her?” John asked. “It may not be productive to have my supervisor swamped with phone calls”, said the Uncle. “I use a lot of discretion when these phone calls [show] up”, he said before our next caller mentioned mosquitoes. “I tell you what, they have been very large and very aggressive in my neighborhood”, said the Uncle. “They all ready tried this once in the past”, our next said about McDonald’s french fries based on his memories from five years ago. “Uncle Henry, I think you need to stop saying ‘Roll Tide’ ”, said the caller, who believes there are “sensitive” listeners who are fanatics of football programs (current and future) such as the one at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle before bringing to our attention a newspaper, whose writer was given credit by our host. “I thought all of the prostitution was out in the county. This is very, very confusing to me”, said the Uncle after reading the about the arrests made by police. “My connection to the night life, the underworld is our very own musician Trey Lane”, said the Uncle. “You take me to another world with your anecdotes”, he said to the show’s call screener. “You take me to another world as your ambassador to the underworld”, said Trey. “Have you noticed any of this?” the Uncle asked about prostitution in downtown Mobile. “Never in downtown as far as I’m concerned”, said Trey. “In Prichard, on Main Street in Prichard, Highway 40. Yeah, you go through there at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, you are guaranteed to see them”, said Trey. “Now do musicians trade stories about this?” the Uncle asked the call screener. “We don’t normally find any necessity in prostitutes”, Trey answered. “I don’t want to know any more about this”, the Uncle responded. “You have to drive here early in the morning”, according to Trey. “Well this is something else”, said our surprised host. “Where else are you going to hear this on the radio dial? Nowhere”, said the Uncle. After the final break for today and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues. No, unfortunately that song you mentioned, I’m ordered not to play it. I’m ordered not to play the Mike Dean (Mobile County commissioner) song”, said the Uncle. “I would have to get clearance”, he said before attempting to speak with caller Bob, but without success. “My opinion of presidential candidates is that we have a very poor choice to pick this time”, said Wayne, who was referring to one candidate in particular that has not been nominated by his political party. “I want to remind you of the Memorial Day ceremony that Pete (Ream) was talking about”, said the Uncle. “This is open to the public, so that’s Monday morning at 9 o’clock at the Virginia Street Cemetery”, he reminded listeners. “Once again, just some fascinating phone calls”, he said in reflection of today’s show. “Remember to pray, pray for others and when you’re in doubt of what to do read within the pages of your Bible. You will find all the instructions you need right there”, said the Uncle. “News time is 10 o’clock!” he said 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 before reminding listeners how to call in either locally or by long distance. “Yes, I have quite fresh fruits and vegetables. They have been going up (in price)”, said the Uncle, who was responding to a listener’s voice message. “I enjoy eating the apple”, he said. “Meanwhile, today, new records, new records for oil, 127.00 is what it’s popping up to in early trading of oil”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Mark. Hello Mark”, he said to this hour’s first caller, who is “so confused with your radio (station)” due to stormy weather affecting his reception. “Whenever you have a low pressure signal moving through an area”, according to the Uncle, people behave differently. “This is a strange show you’ve got there”, said Mark, who was listening before the 9 o’clock hour of today’s show. “Just grounding the show, I appreciate that. I never thought about your proposal of Bill Clinton being an ambassador”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Jim. Hello Jim”, he said to our next caller. “You know we’re in this disposable economy where we use it up and throw it away”, said Jim, who doesn’t want to throw away his $200 cordless telephone. “I never knew anyone where to get one fixed”, said the Uncle. “The hand set will not pick up the signal”, said Jim before mentioning the trade in service by the telephone’s maker Sony Corporation. “I may do that eventually if I can’t find anyone to fix it”, said Jim. “I don’t know, as you say it’s a disposable consumer society and electric items are the case”, said the Uncle, whose noticed numerous cordless telephones in a recent visit to an “electronic retailer” he never identified. “Meanwhile, we’re getting more and more reports about how [many] more people are abandoning land lines all together”, said the Uncle, who compared this to “the end of the dinosaurs”. “We go over the very tough issues on this show and we come up with an agreement”, said the Uncle. “Tremendous news going on nationally and internationally and we get lots of local news. The story in the Press-Register about the AEA (Alabama Education Association), one of our favorite topics”, said the Uncle before describing the article, whose writer was mentioned by name. “I’ve had the same phone number for many, many years and I’ve been getting more push polls and you know it’s a push poll”, said the Uncle. “I’ve gotten so many of those calls and in this story what I enjoy here about this story that they talked to Paul Hubbard (state school board superintendent) about it (‘the surveys about the McKinney race, but they were not push polls’)”, said the Uncle. “Then they get into the definitions of what a push poll is”, our host mentioned from the article. “If you’re push polling against one (candidate), it’s a subtle way of influencing them”, he said seconds before the break. “The Uncle Henry Show continues”, the Uncle reminded listeners. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Very interesting voice mail”, said the Uncle. “Somehow sucking the tax payer dry, I don’t know anybody like that”, he said about folks supposedly “living like kings and queens” in section 8 housing. “The atmospheric condition may send something signaling (to radio listeners) far away”, he said before our next caller. “Wait a minute, was that a rooster? Was that a rooster?” the Uncle asked the caller after hearing a rooster’s call in the background. “There are good things about the old days. Makes you wonder what to do when we run out of gasoline when the hurricane hits”, said the caller before leaving us. “Let’s talk to Mary. Hello Mary”, said the Uncle before the caller described a few families with government assistance. “One lady has about 3 children, one has four by different dads”, said Mary. “Are they following the rules [the way the] rules have been written”, the Uncle asked. “This is the goodness of this nation and then we have a lot of people that” don’t appreciate what they have, said Mary. “I don’t know what the answer is”, she said. “Thank you for the phone call”, said the Uncle. “You know people are being held by the people, but the phone call—the voice mail was about someone circumventing the system”, said the Uncle. “When the kids are involved, you want to help the kids no matter what is involved”, said the Uncle. “A reminder that we are under a flash flood warning until 12:30”, said the Uncle, who was referring to folks in south Mobile County and Baldwin County as “we”. “Again, that is mainly south of I-10”, the Uncle, though he didn’t say “Interstate 10” or “I-10” in his last statement. “So keep this all in mind and don’t get in a bad situation where water covers your roadway”, he reminded listeners. “After the FOX News, more Uncle Henry Show here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle before directing listeners to his website for “some of this week’s highlights” on the show.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. ‘Ask the Expert’ coming up at 10 o’clock, one of the most popular experts (coming up)—I think it’s one of the A and A Vacuum guys”, said the Uncle before speaking to our next caller Nick. “Yes, I read your letter to the editor”, the Uncle responded to Nick's question. “No one remembers what (Ronald) Reagan did years ago which was Military Spouses Day, which was the day (Friday) before Mother’s Day”, said Nick before getting to a “critical” article in the newspaper. “Thank you very much for your phone and your references”, said the Uncle, who gave listeners the page number in the newspaper for one of the subjects the caller referenced. “The guy, like I told you, didn’t have any pliers”, our next caller Steve, who was describing a homeless man who was put into a motel after our caller found him at Municipal Park in Mobile. “I hope that you would find it interesting as well that they put the guy in a motel for the night”, said Steve. “Getting back to the (police) response time was the big issue”, he said. “Uncle Henry, you have a great weekend”, he said before leaving us, giving our host time to remind listeners of Steve’s previous call telling the story of the homeless man. “You heard the rest of the story, he did get a good response from the Mobile City Council person (former WKRG-TV5 reporter Gina Gregory) on this”, said the Uncle. “I never heard of this (outcome)”, he admitted before the break for commercials. After the break for commercials and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues—now, I don’t believe Crockett was trying to copy ‘Neocon Ron’, he was just following the same theme”, said the Uncle. “We had a new Crockett song about a Mardi Gras park. I thought it was one of Crockett’s better efforts”, he said before recommending to his listeners the song “for one of your quieter moments” this weekend. “It was not due to roll call”, our next caller said about the police dispatch delay Steve mentioned in his call. “Let’s talk to Tracy. Hello Tracy”, said the Uncle. “You know, people are complaining about the high price of gas, what have you”, said Tracy before suggesting a tax on a well-known electronic video game. “Yeah, go ahead, ‘Grand Theft Auto’ ”, said the Uncle, who wants that game taxed along with pornography. “They are being a lot more specific now on where the heaviest is going to be”, said the Uncle as he gives listeners a weather update. “Ed?” he asked our next caller. “Yes”, said Ed. “Hello! Hello Ed!” said the Uncle. “Hello”, Ed responded. “Hello Ed!” the Uncle responded. “Hello”, Ed responded before the call ended. “This sparklingly exchange you heard here on NewsRadio 710, between Uncle Henry and Ed, reminds me of a former talk show that used to be on in Mobile”, said the Uncle before playing audio of former radio talk show host Dan Daniels. “All right, that was recorded from the Dan Daniels Show, the late, great Dan Daniels who had amazing patience and I have not [yet] developed that patience”, said the Uncle, who believes he is “the only talk show host in the United States” who doesn’t tell listeners to turn their radio volume down. After the final break for today and a voice message, “Well, Uncle Henry Show, NewsRadio 710, news coming up in a couple of minutes”, said the Uncle. “They don’t make the (Ford) Escort anymore”, he told the listener in the recorded message. “I’m sure there’s a used Escort out there somewhere”, said the Uncle. “The Ford Focus now is what they have as the vehicle”, he said before speaking to caller Tommy. “Hey, I have an old ’88 Country Squadron”, said Tommy, who can go 30 miles to the gallon at 55 miles per hour. “You know 55 is like a snail’s pace around here”, said the Uncle, who caused Tommy to laugh. “You noticed how literacy has gone up over the years as well as global warming”, said Tommy before bringing obesity into the comparison. “That is a weird comparison”, said the Uncle. “I thank you as the final caller this week”, he said before declaring today’s show the weirdest program ever. “After ‘Ask the Expert’ we have Rush Limbaugh at 11:00!” the Uncle shouted. “Remember to pray, pray for others and read that Bible”, he told listeners at the end of the show.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Thank you for listening. It’s 9:06, six minutes after 9:00. Rain is coming through”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Tim. Hello Tim”, he said to this hour’s first caller, who is not the frequent caller Sam Marston IV, better known as Tim. “Ok, I could barely understand you there”, our host told Tim. “If you ever read George Orwell’s book “1984”, you will remember that every morning in the future” you will exercise, said Tim. “All right, thank you very much for your phone call. I appreciate that phone call”, said the Uncle before sharing some news from Australia. “People that eat that food, an ok portion of it, they’re going to be penalized. The people that eat a reasonable portion”, said the Uncle. “It’s insanity”, he said before our next caller Chris. “I was having a discussion with my dad before listening to your show and we were talking about electric cars”, said Chris. “What’s going to happen when everyone’s going to run their electric cars”, Chris asked. “There’s a very, very perceptive conversation you had with your dad”, said the Uncle. “They’re going to try to find that (road tax) money somewhere else”, our host believes. “People have to be very aware”, said Chris. “Thank you for your phone call—excellent phone call! I love it when the young people call in about history”, said the Uncle. “A lot of things motivated in this country are motivated by profit. Now with the gas so high, things are looking more feasible for the first time in a long, long time”, the Uncle continued. “They are working on the battery technology, they are trying to perfect (it) and before what was the point when you had cheap gas”, said the Uncle. “They are going to come up with some good stuff”, he said about private industries involved in battery powered cars. “Henry!” said our next caller Jim, who finds “that Phillip guy” substituting for call screener Trey Lane very good at his job. “He does appreciate that”, said the Uncle. “Did you see where Congress passed that [$290] million dollar food program”, said Jim, who was referring to the Farm Bill as our host reminded him. “What message does that send to the children of people who have food stamps”, Jim asked. “What message does that send to the children? You see, that right there is a pathological aspect of what really hurts”, said Jim. “I appreciate you taking my call, Henry, and you have a good day”, said Jim. “I don’t want to see children go hungry”, said the Uncle, who agrees that “there are people that need help (temporarily)”. “Let us talk to Gene. Hello Gene”, he said to our next caller. “Roll Tide”, said Gene. “Roll Tide Roll!” the Uncle responded with the Alabama Crimson Tide battle cry. “I think people—some people are born into it (welfare programs)”, said Gene. “They have no idea”, said the Uncle. “You know who the state commissioner is of the insurance commission?” Gene asked our host while on a different subject. “He’s from Mobile, Alabama”, said Gene. “We’re still being treated as a stepchild”, Gene said about “south Alabama”, or Mobile County and Baldwin County. “A lot of the lobbyists are (former) politicians who are retired”, said the Uncle, who recalls former Alabama congressman and former “The Gulf Coast Congressional Report” TV host Sonny Callahan lobbying on behalf of Indians in this country. After the break for commercials and a voice message, which was interrupted by a weather alert from the National Weather Service (“Tornado Watch Number 360”). “Did you know that the food stamps and the whole government food program is just ridiculous”, said caller Steve after the alert ended. “Something’s very wrong, something stinks to high heaven as far as that is concerned”, said Steve. “A new government program just doesn’t go away, it just gets bigger”, according to Steve. “I tell you what, a lot of the so-called rich are dog gone poor”, said Steve. “Let’s talk to Mary. Hello Mary”, said the Uncle, who never addressed the National Weather Service interruption between calls. “Speaking of the Farm Bill, there is something I want to share with you. This is real brief. This is written by a man in Congress”, said the Uncle before reading the words of a fellow who voted against the Farm Bill. “This is what it’s—it’s disgusting as it gets in Washington and they throw this (earmark) stuff, I don’t care what party is doing this”, said the Uncle. “They are ripping us off!” he said angrily. “And they wonder why we’re yelling about taxes and this is why”, he said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Harbor Communications number is (251) 479-2723”, said the Uncle as music from the TV program “The Adventures of Superman” plays in the background. “Let’s talk to Bill”, he said to our next caller. “You are really upbeat to get up at 3 o’clock in the morning”, said Bill, who understands that our host drives across Mobile Bay from Daphne to Mobile everyday to host the show. “When I was 16 to get my driver’s license, I went over the Gulf”, said Bill. “The nearest land if you look at 180 degrees south of Gulf Shores”, said Bill, is South America. “It’s a racket! In my opinion, it’s a racket”, he said about Congress in Washington, D. C. “So many people trying to influence people. It’s a racket almost to the president of the United States”, said Bill, who doesn’t believe Jeff Sessions “has no voice” in the Senate. After learning that Bill fell out of his bed and got five stitches in his head, “Oh my goodness, sounds awful!” said the Uncle. “Well, I hope you feel better”, he told Bill, who admits that he doesn’t feel better. “I don’t know what’s so great about these Cuban cigars”, said the Uncle, whose caller was given some cigars by his cousin after the accident. “Falling out of the bed sounds dangerous”, said the Uncle, who considered bed railings. “Get that out of your mind and think about something positive”, the Uncle told our next caller suggesting “consummation” for the marriage of one well known couple of folks in the news. “Let me share with you briefly some feedback to the 'Neocon Ron’ voice mail opera” on the (proposed) Mardi Gras park, said the Uncle before playing the listeners’ recorded messages. “All right, well, not everybody liked it, but most did”, said the Uncle, whose song from listener “Neocon Ron” is now available “on the Uncle Henry page at NewsRadio710.com”, including another recorded message exclusive to the World Wide Web from the same listener. “All right, Uncle Henry Show continues. Trey Lane’s not in, it’s a shame”, said the Uncle before explaining. “Crockett heard the Mardi Gras park performance and has come up with his own Mardi Gras park song and we’re going to have that before the conclusion of the Uncle Henry Show”, said the Uncle. After the break for commercials, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. We have ‘Ask the Expert’ coming up in the 10 o’clock hour”, said the Uncle before speaking to caller John. “I hope you’re well”, said John before his smoking comments. “And the penalties that go to the smoking companies, well that just goes into the (state) general fund”, said John. “Let’s talk to Paul. Hello Paul”, said the Uncle, whose caller wants to talk about gasoline. “I hear you have to have special (engines)—you have to be ready for the ethanol before you use it”, said the Uncle before the station suddenly went to static for a few seconds. “All right, Uncle Henry Show continues. When we return I have Crockett’s answer to ‘Neocon Ron’s’ voice mail opera”, said the Uncle before the break. After the final break for today and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show here on NewsRadio 710. FOX News coming up in about 10 minutes. They report, I’ve all ready decided they have to report”, said the Uncle before playing listener Crockett’s song. “All right, Crockett here on NewsRadio—Crockett, very good!” said the Uncle. “You got me worried about the psychological aspects of this Mardi Gras park”, he said to listeners Crockett and “Neocon Ron”. “You just get better and better, Crockett”, said the Uncle, who believes the listener continues to improve as a songwriter and singer. “The weather, the National Weather Service has released something in the last couple of minutes”, he announced several minutes after the first weather alert for the Mobile region, or the Mobile-Pensacola TV market where severe storm reporting comes at the expense of viewers and listeners of network and syndicated TV programs. “I have hydroplaned”, the Uncle recalls as being “very frightful”, since the National Weather Service storm update mentions hydroplaning. “Remember to pray and read that Bible!” he reminded listeners at the end of the show.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Yes, Uncle Henry Show appealing to both genders, also even to those who don’t identify themselves by gender”, said the Uncle, who was responding to a listener’s voice message. After reminding listeners how to contact him either by telephone or electronic mail, “In fact in the e-mail box right now!” the Uncle shouted as the “e-mail inbox” sound effect is sued. “The e-mail I received subject line: ‘Teachers in the AEA: The Dirty Little Secret’ ”, said the Uncle before reading the message. “Well, K. P., thank you very much. I appreciate the e-mail”, he said to the writer and frequent caller to the show. “The reason we have these problems in schools is because—the reason we have all these fights in middle schools and the disruptions in these schools—the only reason we have them is because we tolerate them”, said the Uncle before promoting the use of punishments such as paddling and “hard labor”. After playing the role of a concerned listener saying, “Well, Uncle Henry”, our host responded to himself with, “It is unreasonable to allow the schools to be unsafe for a young person who is law abiding”. “I think there ought to be lawsuits for allowing it (fighting)”, he suggested. “Get a lawyer and file a lawsuit for all the people who allowed the misbehavior!” said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to Happy. Good morning, Happy”, he said to this hour’s first caller, who wanted to discuss energy since he was listening to the show’s previous hour. “By the way, this is—I think this is really important: you know all those oil companies”, said Happy. “All of them desert companies depend on anything else but oil”, according to Happy. “General Electric is behind the wind mill and solar energy projects going on right now”, Happy continued. “We ought to took the wind mills to Congress”, Happy suggested before leaving us. “Let’s talk to Bob”, said the Uncle. “First thing I want to do is thank you for all what you do to Mobile talk radio”, said Bob before addressing “the biggest problem in this country right now”: apathy. “People just don’t care as long as it doesn’t affect them”, said Bob. “Well people don’t have to care”, the Uncle responded. “I appreciate you letting me [have] my say”, said Bob before leaving us. “Roll Tide, Uncle Henry!” said Adam. “Roll Tide Roll!” the Uncle responded with the Alabama Crimson Tide battle cry. “Keep them in school and ban field trips all together. What do you think about that?” Adam suggested. “You can learn from time to time on a field trip”, said the Uncle, who doesn’t want the students who do not misbehave affected. “They shouldn’t be on field trips where you don’t learn anything”, said the Uncle, who believes a sausage factory or the city jail make better field trips than a ballet or the building that houses WKRG-TV5 and the radio station he works for. “Before they go in—what, you’re making hand signals at me”, said the Uncle, whose attention was caught by call screener Trey Lane. “Take them in to the jail. Let them see what it’s like before the jail”, said the Uncle. “Don’t shield them from anything”, he said before mentioning “foul language” by the inmates for example. “Let them see what the real world is like if they keep fighting in schools”, said the Uncle as he summons Trey Lane with his music. “No explanation for the hand signal”, said the Uncle, who doesn’t believe Trey was using a “dirty” hand gesture. After the break for commercials and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Let’s talk to Steve. Good morning, Steve”, said the Uncle. “I’ve got two subjects today”, said Steve. “As a developer, they’re paving the private streets. I had competition 10 years ago”, said Steve, who “got rewarded by these developers who didn’t love me”. “Have a good day”, he said before leaving us. “There is a lot more on this private road thing. There is a lot more amendments”, said the Uncle. “There is all kinds of expense to the homeowners on these streets”, the Uncle continued. “It may be that the paving of dirt roads will stop in Mobile County and instead it will be the grading and maintaining of dirt roads”, said the Uncle. “Let’s talk to John. Hello John”, he said to our next caller. “The speculators are buying oil for that price (‘a hundred dollars a barrow’)”, said the Uncle, who was answering the caller’s question. “Alabama’s got a law saying you can’t buy oil for less than what it costs”, according to John. After promoting the radio network that replaced NBC News Radio, which was preceded by the ABC Radio Network and the CBS Radio Network on this radio station, “By the way, if you want to be in a movie, if you haven’t heard of this”, said the Uncle as he brings to our attention a local casting call for extras in the movie “Final Destination IV”. “No children allowed, they don’t want children in their movie”, according to our host. “They want pit crew types”, said the Uncle, who believes “pit crew types” describes most males in Mobile. “I guess it’s like a motor racing story”, he said before the break for news, commercials, and station promotions.

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle before reminding listeners how to contact him. “I don’t know if you’ve had the opportunity to be in downtown Mobile during, like the weekend”, said our next caller, who was downtown this past weekend to see the cruise ship “Holiday” leave its port. “It’s taken a long time and I think more than anything else when people go back home they will remember the ease of going downtown”, said the caller. “I know that will never think the city’s invested will pay off, but it’s leaped in one direction”, said the caller. “I’m glad they’re down there spending money”, said the Uncle before going straight to a news story. “Governor Bob Riley told the Birmingham News that he will sign the anti-smoking resolution”, said the Uncle. “The Alabama Restaurant Association opposes the no smoking thing because it doesn’t exempt bars and restaurants”, he read. “They want you to stay at the restaurant so you can get drunk at the restaurant”, according to our host. “There may be enough to go ahead and get through with this (no smoking bill)”, said the Uncle, who may “call upon the knowledge of someone who lives in a different world than me”. “There’s some information that Bob Riley has quit smoking since last summer”, our host told Trey Lane. Based on experience, “I never smelled it on him or his breath”, said the Uncle, who recalls a former station employee who was a smoker before leaving around “Thanksgiving time”. “I know certain (cigarette) brands mean certain things”, said the Uncle. “What gang you’re in”, Trey said for example. “You know what I mean”, the Uncle responded. “What kind do you smoke?” he asked Trey. “I’m not going to say”, Trey responded. “Do you know that Winstons are cheap cigarettes?” the Uncle asked Trey, who used to smoke Winston cigarettes. “What would be the bottom of the barrel?” the Uncle asked Trey about cigarette brands. “GPC”, said Trey, who once thought the brand's initials stood for “Government Provided Cancer”. “This is all news to me, this is fascinating!” said the Uncle. “When you see someone smoking Winstons Lite, does that tell you anything about the person?” the Uncle asked Trey. “What is a lite cigarette?” the Uncle asked. “Low in tar”, Trey answered. “I admit that you told me some things I didn’t know about cigarettes”, said the Uncle. “He’s teaching me about cigarettes, the legends and lore”, he said as Trey returns to his work post. “Bob Riley, Winston Lites used to be his cigarette of choice”, said the Uncle before the break for commercials. After the break and a voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Telephone number is (251) 479-2723”, said the Uncle. “I’ve been looking through the heath news stories”, said the Uncle, who found “another obesity story”, which he believes was rewritten from previous articles published “every three months”. “They put in the new word ‘alarming’ ”, said the Uncle. “Who are the obese ethic groups?” he asked after learning that not all of the ethnic groups are obese. “More than two-thirds—that’s a lot, are overweight”, said the Uncle. “I don’t believe this, by the way when they say 1/3 in this country”, said the Uncle. “They say the group that doesn’t have the obesity problem is Chinese Americans. They don’t say why”, said the Uncle. “This is very—I don’t know if I can take all of this to be true with the amount of obesity they’re talking about”, the Uncle continued. “So this is what they’re going to go after next”, our host predicts for the Alabama Legislature. “The next thing they will go after is food”, he continued. “That’s something they talked about, a tax on carbonated beverages like that. That’s what I’ve heard”, said the Uncle before being reminded by Trey Lane “what a wonderful food the french fry is”. “Just be waiting, just be watching for this”, the Uncle told listeners. “They could just make a law that you can’t make a waist of pants bigger than a 38”, said the Uncle, who added that folks in need of pants bigger than 38 inches are on their own. “That would be way of settling this”, said the Uncle before the break. After the final break for today and a voice message, “Well, it sounded like he was on to something”, said the Uncle, who has no time to discuss the subject of the recorded message. “Remembers to pray, pray for others”, he reminded listeners, along with, “Read your Bible!”

“More Humid” – TV5 meteorologist John Nodar

Folks, this Thursday marks the 94th anniversary of the birth of the late Mobile TV personality Dot Moore. She died last year on May 23rd, just days after her 93rd birthday. If you want to know more about her life, read my biographical article on Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia I no longer contribute to after my articles on former WKRG-TV general manager D. H. “Buck” Long and the Uncle were deleted.

Good day!

“Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. It is 9:35”, said the Uncle before promoting some of the radio programs on his station. “I have really enjoyed it when (Todd) Schnitt talks about foreign policy. He is really good”, said the Uncle, who mentioned that he was listening to the radio with a relative. “We listened to the ‘Rusty Humphries Show’”, said the Uncle, who believes the fellow is “really good himself”. “I have mentioned a few times a new song by ‘Neo-con Ron’ ”, said the Uncle before playing this listener’s parody of a Merle Haggard song. “That is, that is—what a talent to [re-write] those lyrics”, said the Uncle. “Those of you with an MP3 player can listen to it over and over again”, he suggested. “We are not that far from a decision on the tanker (airplane deal)”, said the Uncle, who suggests “getting some of these songs up to Congress”. “I would love to call the voice mail of these people who have said horrible things about Mobile, Alabama”, said the Uncle. Before the break for commercials, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710”, said the Uncle. After the break and a strange voice message, “Uncle Henry Show continues here on NewsRadio 710. Let’s talk now—by the way the phone number is (251) 479-2723”, said the Uncle before speaking to caller Ken, who wanted to promote a fundraising event for Mobile County Commission candidate John Graham. “It will be catfish dinners”, said Ken”, who mentioned the baked beans and potato salad to be served. “I don’t know if I will be allowed by radio station rules to have politically funded catfish”, said the Uncle. “It is good to be an incumbent and it’s very, very difficult to be a challenger the way the system works”, according to our host. “There is a story, I saw it this morning and I found it hard to believe”, said the Uncle, who predicts that it will be on all the talk shows. “So weird that I must talk about it”, he said before sharing with us FOX News Channel’s report about the anti-war group “Code Pink” and “witch craft in their protests”. “How much of that is going to—is going to make people want to join them?” the Uncle asked. “I think you’re kind of—going to make more people hesitant”, he believes. “Let’s talk to Steve. Hello Steve”, he said to our next caller. “You got to consider this, this is Berkeley”, said Steve, who was referring to the “Code Pink” story. “Nothing shocks me, I lived out in California”, said Steve, who seems to recall “twisted mentalities out there”. “I really wanted to call today because it’s one of the first really hot days”, said Steve, who believes “now is the time” to check on hurricane supplies before the hurricane season. “I don’t believe in any of that global warming stuff”, said Steve. “It’s just natural, a natural occurring thing”, he said about the warmer temperatures. “As far as keeping your power bill down, that is a very noble thing to do”, he said about limiting air conditioner use. “Time will tell, as Fred Richardson [would] say, time will tell”, the Uncle told our next caller John Graham, the Mobile County Commission candidate. “Is Trey Lane back Monday, is that the way it works?” the Uncle asked substitute call screener Phillip, or “Phil” as he was called today before discussing the TV program “Lost”. “When they say you have to move the island, what does that mean?” the Uncle asked Phillip about the show. “Is it like a floating boat?” he asked. “I don’t know, it’s sort of like a time warp”, said Phillip. “I don’t like time travel”, the Uncle responded. “There’s time travel on that show, apparently”, said Phillip before returning to his work post. In the final seconds of the show, “All right, out of time for the week”, said the Uncle before promoting some of his station’s programming, including “The Savage Nation”, which our host believes is “very popular on this radio station”. “Read all of the instructions of your Bible”, he said at the end of the show.
