Speaker 1 (00:06):
Henry, I I'm concerned about your your mental health. Uh.
Usually usually you can take this verbal abuse, you know,
and it just slides off of you. But here lately, uh,
when all these people call and your stupid, ignorant, crazy
and all that kind of stuff, you know, and you
got the hollering and screaming, and uh, you've lost control.
(00:30):
But uh, Henry, when they come down there, when the
ambulance pulls up down there and they come in there
at the station, they get you and put the straight
jacket on you. Tell them you want a new straight jacket,
one of one right out of the plastic brand. You
want out and got that puke and all that stuff
on it, you know, So get you a new straight jacket.
(00:51):
Then they when they take you off, because I think
you lose it. Hank lot to you later.

This is the Uncle Henry's show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNT. Thank you very much for your listening
to this show. I appreciate your listener hood, I appreciate
your patience with the program as well as you often
probably keep waiting for something to happen. Me too. Well,
(02:04):

show me and you trying to figure out what has
gone on, what is going on, and what might happen.

Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now there was We've got
(02:27):
a lot to talk about. As usual, there's so much
no news coming out of our federal government and the
different aspects of the federal government that are at each
other's throats. It's hard to keep track of everything going
on with the federal government. We have stuff going on
with the state government. In fact, today this has never
happened before my life. Maybe it's happened in years for
(02:51):
quite a bit. But I walked into a local business
today to get a prescription filled, and when I was
in there, I heard something that sounded vaguely and and
uncomfortably familiar. And it turns out that they were listening
(03:13):
to the Alabama legislature. Yeah, yeah, so stuff. I don't
know why. I don't know what they what they wanted
to hear about, because that'll really depress it if you
listen to the legislature whenever they're in session or in
a committee. It's very depressing. Soy, we had so I
encountered that, but today was a Mobile City council meeting.
Lots to get to from the council meeting today. First, though,
(03:36):
I know you're concerned about the beavers. We learned a
few weeks ago at the Mobile City Council when a
beaver advocate attended the meeting and spoke on behalf of
the beavers. The city of Mobile, of course having to
pay someone to remove nuisance beavers who are building dams,
and were worried about the the the effect of the
(03:58):
dams and and waters flowing into people's neighborhoods and into
their homes, and so the neighbor the beavers are being removed,
and a beaver advocate went to the city council meeting
to explain to us the beavers are have just as
much rights as human beings, and they're monogamous.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Beavers are a gentle, monogamous species who form pair bonds,
meet for life.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
They're gentle, they're monogamous. They're everything you're looking for really
in a creature. They're general, they're monogamous. They find they
have bonds for life. They're just wonderful. Well, today Mobile
City Council meeting. At the pre council meeting got an
update on the beavers. I believe the update was provided
(04:49):
by Josh Woods, the city councilmen for District six. Let
me see if I can find the beaver update for us.
And I think the interesting part of this is that
councilman Josh Woods talks about how many emails the city
(05:09):
council is getting about the gentle monogamous beavers.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I do want to touch on the the infestation of beaver.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Issue, infestation of beavers now. A year or two ago,
Josh Woods called the coyotes a plague of coyotes. Now
we have an infestation of beavers.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Just for some context, we have been bombarded by emails.
I mean probably close to seven hundred emails, I would imagine,
but I would say that out of the seven hundred.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
And now, I guess seven hundred emails. Do you think
these are mobilions emailing about the beavers? Just guess in
your own mind. Wonder to yourself what would be the
percentage of people in your neighborhood emailing about beavers versus
the people that don't live in the city of Mobile.
(06:03):
Just some to pond or think about it. All right,
let's go back to Josh.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
I've only received three from my constituents, and probably maybe
four from across the city, So I do want to
put that into con.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So seven seven hundred emails, three from his constituents, maybe
four from across the city. That leaves many other emails.
I'm not good at math, but it sounds like the
majority not even coming in from the city of Mobile
on behalf of the gentle, monogamous beavers that bond for life.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I text is, you know, state law, as as Roberts said,
State low says that you can't just trap a beaver
and then take it down the street and put it
put it in somebody else's problem or making somebody else's problem.
So theoretically we're not catching beaver's running them out to
commissioner do its district out in the county and saying
see you later, here's some money for lunch or something.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Here's some money for lunch, you know, And that's sound.
That does sound if the beavers are gentle and monogamous
and they form bonds for life and they live in
multi generational families in their beaver lodges. It does sound
it sounds kind, doesn't it to take them off to
Commissioner do its district and give them a lunch money.
I didn't know that. See, beavers can even apparently deal
(07:16):
with the currency and get lunch, and.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
We can't do that on you know, really handcuffed by
the state. So and I would just want to kind
of put that into context that the majority of these
came from folks around the country. I even got one
from British Columbia.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So, hey, email, uh, I don't know that the councilman's
probably too busy to ever listen to this show, Josh, Josh,
if you are listening, though, maybe you could email the
British Columbia people back and ask them who they banck
for mayor. It'd be fun, Hey, it'd be fun. Look,
(07:56):
I've had many out of towners calling the show about
who they think ought to be mayor of Mobile. It'd
be fun to get some emails from British Columbia and
many other faraway places, Josh. See if you can email
some of those people back and ask them who's their
pick for mayor.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Josh.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
All right, back to Josh Wood.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Really, when it comes down to it, I think the
people in Mobile really realize at Sunday shows that water
impacts us and while that there's not a real good
alternative that maybe makes everybody happy in the meantime, this
is what we got to do.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
So I definitely if changes need to be.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Made, I would definitely say you need to start solicting
and reaching out to your state legislator to change anything
when that comes.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So thank you, all right, beaver advocates. I know that
you love your beaver.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Public sentiment is with the beavers.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yes, Beaver's people have a soft spot on their heart
for the beavers. Instead of emailing the city council, email
state legislators and let them enjoy the fun.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
Show on news Radio seven ten WNTM.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM. It
is five twenty news said lines coming up in ten
minutes here on the Uncle Henry Show from Fox ten
and from Fox Radio National News. Now, I have a
little bit more from the Mobile City Council Mobile City
Council meeting today, although I've already told you the most
(09:51):
important part was the beaver update on beaver interest from
around the country now also at today's Mobile. By the way,
city council meeting today was almost two hours long. They
had their pre council meeting than they had their two
hour long meeting. It was it was brutal, brutal to
(10:15):
try and understand what's going on in there. But it's
all available on the City of Mobile's YouTube channel. And
I don't have I don't have the time, nor the patience,
nor the intestinal fortitude to spend the rest of this
hour telling you about the city council meeting. I just
can't do it. It's too mind numbing and soul crushing.
(10:36):
It's any watching any level of government go to work
in this country seems to really I'd like to keep
some illusions about how things work. And when it comes
to government, the closer I look at how it works,
the more I wish I didn't know. It doesn't matter
what level of government. So if you want to see
(10:56):
the council meeting and all of the discussions about all
the different issues, and there were there were a lot
of things discussed today that you might be interested in,
cityomobileutube dot com, they got it all there and Lang
lamyakmobile dot Com does the best job in my personal
opinion of their coverage of the council Lamiacmobile dot Com. Now,
(11:17):
there were a group of citizens that attended the city
council meeting today to tell the council they did not
like the idea that some property would be rezoned to
allow for government subsidized housing for senior citizens. This is
the former Nolewood Hospital property. So a bunch of people,
(11:41):
Lamyak says, dozens of residents showed up. They were they
they were worried that having government subsidized housing right next
to all these different subdivisions would lower the property values
of their their homes. And they also complained about traffic
(12:03):
and other things. Now, this there was a lengthy discussion
on this. I cannot share with you all of it,
but I've got just a little bit just to give
you a little taste, just a little taste of this.
By the way, Shelby Mitchell of ninety five cast Jay
coming into Are you coming in to get your stuff?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Yes? But I.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Okay, Well you can't talk. I'm talking about the city
council meeting on the radio. She's all right, Shelby Mitchell
is waving off microphone to people watching on Facebook. I've
got I've got you on the radio, listening wherever you are.
There's a there's less than twenty people watching on Facebook,
but they're important because they can see her. They can
(12:48):
see her and well shelby. The segment will be over
in a few minutes. All right, very good. Now to
to to recap what I was talking about before. Residents
showing up. They don't want the low the government subsidized
housing for seniors in their neighborhood near their subdivisions because
(13:11):
they're worried about property values going down. And then there's
stuff about traffic and if you want to hear and that,
that's me simplifying as much as I can. Several people spoke,
so if you want to hear all their different arguments,
you can go to that YouTube channel for the city.
I edited a little bit of this so you can
(13:32):
hear mobile city councilmen William Carroll talking to an elderly
resident about his concerns. Yes, this is edited, so to
both men that have had their comments edited, apologies for
having to edit due to brevity. But again you can
watch all of this on YouTube. So here we go.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
I don't understand.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
It sounds like there's an issuance here that some people
don't want poor people living next to him.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
That's that's what I think. I heard you say. That's
what I said.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
Well, that's that's what I'm here.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I'm saying you said it yourself. Okay, but why.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
Would you want to put a government assisted subdivision or
area project inside a makeup of this?
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Tell me that. Let me say this to you.
Speaker 12 (14:22):
I am a avid, avid housing person, h A champion
affordable housing, champion, lord of modern income living.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
He's a champion. We need to get him an affordable
housing cape, which and hey, I wore a no tolls
cape and it was quite effective. Well, not as effective
as it needed to be, because there's still going to
be a toll on the bridge if it's if it's
ever built. However, capes can be get. We need to
(14:57):
get William Carroll an affordable housing cap and he can
wear it as if a superhero because he's a champion
for affordable housing and this is good. This will be
a way to get his message across while also wearing
a stylish cape.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
A champion attainable housing and what makes a great neighborhood
it's the mixture of that.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
All right. Now, this is the fun part. I thought
you might want to hear here. Here will This is
the recipe. If you live in a neighborhood where everybody's
like you, that's bad. If everybody's house is a kind
of at the same value, that's bad. It's better to
have a forty five thousand dollars house next to one
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars house. Just listen, because
(15:38):
the logic is here.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
You can't when you see neighborhoods today where everybody lives
in a half a million dollar house or a million
dollar house, the neighbors don't even talk to each other
because they all have their own things to do.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
That does sound like a nightmare, doesn't it. Living in
a neighborhood with a half a million dollar house and
you just don't have time for your neighbor that sounds
like a nightmare.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
And when you still in a neighborhood that is totally
all divested in low income, then you see everything go
to shambles. But when you see an area that is
mixed with low my income, high income, luxury income neighborhoods
that have true neighborhoods where it's all mixed.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
That's where our city is thriving.
Speaker 10 (16:19):
And it sounds like, to be honest with me, it
sounds like, in my mind, you only want a certain
income level to be in this neighborhood. Well, it sounds
that way. You said, these houses are three hundred thousand four.
Why would you put a house over here that costs
that much? Meaning that don't put it here because our
(16:40):
houses are this much.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
That's what that's the average of the area.
Speaker 10 (16:44):
But one, you don't even know what the cost of
development is. Two you haven't even even seen it, So
you're making an assumption of what the neighborhood is going
to look like.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
It goes on and on, and you can watch all
of it on you who bis I said, But this
is important for you to if you ever intend to
go to the city council and talk to them, because
something the city is doing might affect your property value.
They do not want to hear that to complain about
something the city is doing lowering your property value. That
(17:21):
is not need to figure out a different reason to
oppose it. Because you just heard there that if something
It almost sounded like you was saying, hey, your property
value going down might be wonderful for your neighborhood. You
will thrive. You will thrive because then you'll get to
know your neighbors. Because if everybody in the neighborhood has
(17:43):
a house that's worth four hundred grand, you might not
get to know each other, and you won't thrive. Uncle

Speaker 13 (19:24):
Hello caller, Hey Henry, is Jimmy the Economist.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Jimmy the Economist? You are live on the radio.
Speaker 13 (19:33):
I think it's awesome of you to be so noble
as the pair that William Carroll dirty laundry. I think
he's a product of mcgiltoolan if my memory's correct. So
if you like the way he thinks, then send your
kid of mcgiltolan. I guess, well, if he's such a
(19:58):
successful and wonderful what did he say He was a champion.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
He was a champion.
Speaker 13 (20:05):
He's a residential developer with mixed juice and rich and
poor alike, all living in one healthy commune within the
cities of a mobile. I'm wondering where he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
He's yes, it's thriving. It's a thriving thing.
Speaker 13 (20:23):
He's pieced together Heaven right there in the middle of
the mobile. But nobody really knows where he's talking about.
But if he's such a great developer of residential real
estate for rich and poor alike, why is he doing
it from within the confines of city hall? Is there
(20:43):
more money to be made being a city councilman and
a public real estate developer with public money? Is there more?
Is that more profitable than doing it in the private sector.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Well, maybe it's easier to be a champion when you're
when you are elected to public office and you can
affect policy as a champion.
Speaker 13 (21:07):
I never thought about having the tag word champion over
my head instead of a you know, decent income, a
good wage from being a respected, honorable private sector developer
of residential property that people really like and enjoy and
(21:28):
see their values go up and up and up like
they should. But hey, you know, I don't live in Mobile, obviously,
but I am proud of Uncle Henry of airing this
dirty laundry. This is wonderful. And William Carroll, you should
be absolutely ashamed of yourself pawning yourself off as a
(21:51):
real estate developer. Please, you're a pawn of the citizens,
mostly the ones that aren't that smart Mobile, have a
good day.
Speaker 14 (22:03):
Henry.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
All right, Jimmy the econmis thank you very much for
your phone call two five one four seventy nine two
seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Hello caller, Hey Uncle is JD JD.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You are live on the radio, Uncle.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I was I was thinking yesterday I called you and
I was talking to you about my marketing business. Yeah,
so I wanted to call back today and give a
little bit of a tip to your listeners.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Uh, data collection is at an all time high today
with a big companies tracking people's data, collecting people's information
and so uh if you ever notice, like when you
go on Google and you start searching for something or
maybe you're just talking about something that you all of
a sudden, you'll just see ads pop up for it
(22:54):
on book at different places.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Absolutely, yes.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
So when you download apps on your phone, like a
free app like a flashlight or a game, the companies
that give you those apps for free are actually using
them to track your daily movements, like your GPS location.
They listen to your conversations even when your phone's off,
so like if your phone's just sitting in your console
(23:17):
of your vehicle, or maybe if it's in your purse
or something like that. The apps that are installed on
your phone have access to your microphone to be able
to pick up on keywords and things that you say,
and that information is then elected viral whatever company gave
you the app, and then it's sold to data collection
companies that then resell it to advertisers. And people do
(23:42):
more and more of this without even knowing it, right,
So they also have Amazon Alexas in their homes. They
have Google, the Google, the Hey Google thing that you do. Right,
So even when you say hey Alexa and you're talking
to Alexa, if you're still in the room and you're talking,
Alexa is still listening to you, and that's Amazon Web Services.
(24:03):
So as you're talking with that device in your room,
it's still picking up on keywords that you're saying about
different topics, and it's sending that back to Amazon Web
Services to be able to retarget you with that. So
it's not sure if everybody knew kind of how that works,
wanted to share that with everybody now?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Is the only way to avoid it to not own
a smartphone or these devices? Can you turn off? Can
you opt out? Is there a way to have a
smartphone and not get tracked.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
So yeah, basically to not have a phone or not
having any of these devices because what companies are finding
out now is the data about their customers is more
valuable than the actual products or services that they're selling.
And so the only software, and I'll stop with this,
(24:53):
the only software that there is is if you go
on your phone and look for a website called disconnect
I think the web address for it is disconnect dot me.
They have a free plan and then they have paid subscriptions.
And what disconnect does. You can install on your phone
and you can get it on your laptop.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Now I've got I've got to ask did disconnect hire
you to market them?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
No, no, okay, all right, just check it, just check it,
because I thought this is really this is really some
outstanding gorilla marketing. If that's what it is. So it's
disconnect dot me.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Well, you know what, you can actually get the free
version of it and it works just as well as
the paid version. So there you go, right, But disconnect
dot and if you download that on your phone or
on your laptop, what you're able to do is block
about ninety percent of the tracking sites that follow you
when you're on the web or when you're on your phone.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
All right, I got a quick question. So you just
described Amazon, Alexa and Google listening to us, listening for keywords.
Even if we don't think we're talking to them, they're
still listening.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Uh. Correct.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Certainly the government would want a piece of this, wouldn't
they wouldn't they wouldn't the government want to be able
to drop in on somebody's house and listen.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
That's a good question, it's a great question. And you know,
government has tried to get oversight of the data industry,
but because the data industry is all owned by private
companies like Google and Facebook and all the other ones,
then the government doesn't really have that much control.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Well now we learned the opposite when it came to
Twitter and Facebook, with with former government people going to
work there being told what to censor and what not
to censor on their platforms. It's not hard for me
to believe them asking, hey, we would like to listen
in on a certain number of addresses. These people are wanted,
(26:50):
but these indictments are sealed, and you can't. I could
just I could just see the government doing that.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, it's really amazing. You know it marketing. You can
actually go to another website called exactdata dot com and
you can actually pull list of names, phone numbers, and
addresses and just search by what you're looking for. So,
for example, I could get a list of, say, everyone
in Mobile County that has diabetes on exact data dot com,
(27:18):
and I could get their address, their phone number, first
and last name, email address, just with the click of
a button and putting in my credit card, you know,
for if I was trying to target them in terms
of a marketing campaign.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Wow, hey JD, I've got to run them on the break,
But thank you for that, rolls roll. I want to
find that website and find out how many beaver advocates
really do live in Mobile. Back after the break, Uncle
(28:02):
Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM, get his
five fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes, and
then more Uncle Henry's show.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Hello Color, Uncle Henry, how are you?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I've got John, how are you?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
I'm doing great. Two little things I wanted to touch on.
The first one is if that city council member wants
to put up Section eight, he needs to do it
in his own district and stop founding so sanctimonious and
condescending towards people who come to those city council meetings.
He is beyond disrespectful. The second thing I wanted to
(28:44):
talk about, it's been in the news, is there was
a track meet in Texas and one of the young
men sat in the wrong area and there was like
a verbal argument, and the teenager just pulled out a
knife and stabbed him in the heart. Yes, fight in
(29:07):
front of his family.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yes, he died in his He died in his twin
brother's arms. Yes, yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
I mean his whole family had to watch this. And
the defenses it was self defense. And I'm like, if
I'm in Walmart and someone wants to pop off to me,
and even if I get in a verbual argument, I
can't just go stab him, right, you know. I mean,
(29:36):
that's not self defense, not by any legal means whatsoever.
And then the other question is this is a school event.
Why are you bringing a weapon to a track meet?
Questions it's a It's a sad state of the country
(29:58):
and the society that we live in. I just think
it's very unfortunate that people can't, even young, especially young people,
can't settle things like mature adults without stabbing or shooting
one another.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Well, it is. It has become more and more of
an epidemic in the country, young people resorting to violence
to solve every possible conflict.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Yeah, well that's all I had for today, Uncle Henry.
I just wanted to share that with you. I hope
you have a great afternoon.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Say already have Thank you very much. I appreciate very
much your phone call two five one four seven nine
two seven two three the telephone number here on the
Uncle Henry Show. Hello caller, Roll, Roll tied.
Speaker 14 (30:46):
Roll, Hey, I just I found JD's call very fascinating
in just the whole idea that your phone's always listening
to you. So, in theory is somebody you're using my
Heart radio app to listen to your show, either live
or by podcast, their phone could be listening on the
cover on the everything you say and everything comes out
from your show. Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 13 (31:07):
The phone itself.
Speaker 14 (31:09):
Yeah, so already you've got people who are going to
have a lot of information pop up on their browsers
about beavers and affordable housing. And it was just it's
so in theory, if somebody called your show and started
talking about spiked cod pieces, personal lubricants, and leaded songs
that would probably show up on their surch hitory history.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
That would be horrible. Yes, I would pray that no
one would ever bring I've already I always tell people
don't call in with that kind of nasty stuff.
Speaker 14 (31:34):
You're right, and people should not call in talking about
spiked cod pieces, personal lubricant or leather songs.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
No, no, never, never, because the good like you said, somebody,
somebody could be listening on the iHeartRadio app and then
their smartphone would hear that and they would start getting
disgusting ads on their phone about all those things that
were terrible.
Speaker 14 (31:57):
That would be that would just be a huge detriment
to our society. If people I started getting random made
for leather thongs and it.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Would be horrible. It would be horrible.
Speaker 14 (32:06):
It'd be terrible. And you know, in theory, I know
that we can use it. I like her to listen
to iHeart Radio. So if somebody called your show said
something stupid like hey, Alexa, order me a love song, Hey,
that could really mess them up.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
It would be horrible.
Speaker 14 (32:20):
Yeah, So folks just do the right thing and call
them uncle Henry shows talking about beavers and affordable housing
and stay away from topics because you never know who's
listening in or what AI is listening in. Yes, and
people could be overrun with spiked cod pieces and all
sorts of crazy toys.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
It would be horrible. They just don't Yeah, it would
be horrible. This is this is really this is another
reason that I've got to figure out how to get
a call screener.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
Yes, sir, maybe we could start to go fund here
or something like that to protect ourselves from the lascivious things.
Speaker 9 (32:51):
Of the world.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
That would be good. That'd be a good use for that.
Speaker 14 (32:55):
Oh, I'm gonna let you go. Hey, I shoot, Yeah,
I appreciate your showing roll Tide roll, chadroll.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Thank you very much. See now, that was just like
JD's call. That was a that was a wonderful companion
call to j JD's call about your phone listening in
on you. Now, And I know you're you're you the
the younger listener in their sixties and fifties. You should
(33:22):
you should be concerned about your phone listening to you.
But I'm at a point in my life where I
get amused at the idea that I would be tracked.
I do. I get amused at the idea that somebody
might hear what I'm saying or what when I'm off
the air, I get. I just I just think that
would be very funny. In fact, I sometimes wish that
(33:45):
there was somebody employed at these businesses forced to listen
to all the things I ask Alexa on all the
things I might say to my daily life, because I
know they'd be in their twenties and they'd be endlessly
bored and annoyed. There is more show to come. I
(34:11):
think we've talked about the gentle beavers. We may get
into possums in the next segment of the show.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
Kids.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. In this half hour of show, I'm
gonna check some voicemail from listeners. I might throw in
a news item. I'm not exactly sure. Sometimes I get
(34:58):
to talking and I talk too much. The voicemail number
if you want to leave a message for the Uncle
Hendvers Show two five to one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. That's two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. To leave a message for the Uncle Henry
Show here on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. I'm going
(35:24):
to start off with a voicemail about possums. There now
there was. We've had numerous shows about beavers and raccoons
and possums on the Uncle Hendrew Show because this show
reflects the concerns of the community. This community has a
heart for possums, for raccoons, and especially for the gentle
(35:45):
monogamous beavers of Mobile County. Now snake trappers call the
show a lot advocating for possum crossing signs out in
Westmobile because he is he just it hurts his soul
to see possums end up his roadkill. Now chiming in
on the possum appreciation is Bidford. Let's what is Biufford
(36:09):
got for us?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Hannay listen to snake trapper Uh being advocate for the opostums. Yes,
I have always agreed with the advocacy of the opostles
and have supported his advocacy.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
But man, it's uh, it's trying.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
It's a trying time at the uh Bufford's well, not
my house, but my mama's house.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
With listener and Beaufford, I apologize for already jumping in here.
But I don't know. Over the course of all the
years that Bufford has called the show, I don't think
he's ever mentioned as mama. Maybe he has, it was years,
ten years ago or something. So hmm, I'm gonna hear
a little a little bit about Bufford's mama here. I'm
(36:59):
now extra intrigued. Possum's and Beufford's mama.
Speaker 9 (37:06):
That's a uh Ufford's.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Well, not my house, but my mama's house with the
old possum, Henry, and old possum.
Speaker 9 (37:13):
Got into my mama's pool. We ain't bragging, Henry, but
my mom and daddy have an any ground pool, Henry.
They got it installed in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Henry. Remember the nineties when when when there was a
little class and middle class peoples could live fairly well
and they could afford to get pools.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
In their backyards. You know there's normal people, Henry. I mean,
I no boat jillionaire one percentury, but you know fellers that.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Had blue collar type job and went to work five
six days a week, and we're able to relax on
the weekend and swim in the pool in the backyard
and maybe barbecue a steak.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Well, so now I'm sorry to interrupt again, but talking
about the nineties and the class that used to exist
in the country, what about and I remember that. Yes,
now it may shock you, Buford, but once upon a
time you could support an entire family on a middle
class income, and the mom could stay home and take
(38:18):
care of the kids, and you could survive financially those
Now nowadays that would be quite you'd have to really
do some you'd have to do some some world class
budgeting today. But back in the day it used to happen.
There used to be You're right, there used to be
a middle class back in the.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
Day, Henry.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Now that we were that.
Speaker 9 (38:37):
Was the before come.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yes, But now that we're in the area of so much,
so long of Marx's communist rule, from the Bidens and
old bombers and such, you know, you can't afford.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Might want to throw the bushes in there too.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
For that stuff.
Speaker 9 (38:54):
No more, Henry could to repair my mama's pool is
six thousand dollars to repair the liner.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Then she says, well, how much would it cost to
just fill the thing in? Ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Henry.
Speaker 9 (39:10):
It is because the city of Mobil has all these.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Permits you have to have to just fill in a pool.
Speaker 9 (39:16):
But Henry, what started this was in opossum. Henry and
opossum gotten.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Out there pool and completely destroyed the liner by the steps.
Speaker 9 (39:30):
I don't know what was going on one but my
daddy was awoken in the middle of the night of
some sort of animal. Ruckus got up the next morning
and there was a dead opossum in the bottom of
that there pool. But Henry, that opossum scratched and gnawed
that liner.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
By the steps and destroyed my mama's pool.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I've been I'm sorry, I say I've not. I've only
I've not owned an inground pool or an above ground pool,
although I was always there was a family that lived
off DP. Year this would have been the nineties as well, Beaufort.
I remember this family. I can't remember their names, but
(40:15):
they installed they lived right off of DP. They installed
an above ground pool in their front yard and they
would float in that pool and they would wave at
people as they drove by. It was it was wondering.
It was a wonderful Southern thing to see people right
(40:37):
off DP. And they were these were people of they were.
How should I describe them. They were somewhat big boned.
They were big boned people floating in their above ground pool,
and they would just wave at the people as they
drove by. All right, where was I? Oh A, I'm
having trouble understanding how a possum could tear up a
(41:00):
pool liner. I don't know. I have a deficit of
possum knowledge. I'm unfortunately possum ignorant.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Trying to tell my parents not to hate on the opossums,
that they do a lot of good for the environment
and the population in general.
Speaker 9 (41:19):
But man, it's like me and right coons and right coons,
youre the whole of my garage wall. It's kind of hard.
It's kind of hard to be sympathetic to them.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Critters start looking at them and vermin when.
Speaker 9 (41:33):
They start destroying your property.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
And the way inflation is now, everything is thousands of
dollars to fix.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
All right, And then the voicemail cut him off. So
they have a financial a terrible financial situation to fix
the pool. Six grand to fix it, ten grand to
fill it in. Well, bless them, I'm and as your
point it out, beford A lot, a lot of things
(42:02):
have just skyrocketed and cost over the last numerous years.
And you turn left that many thousand dollars, and then
you turn right, it's an additional thousand dollars, just a
lot lots. Could we get back to the hundreds? Oh wait,
I think medicine is in the hundreds. Could we get
back down to tens and twenties? Could we just get
(42:25):
back down to that level of tens and twenties? All right, Beford,
thank you for sharing your possum destroys the pool. And
let me know how your parents decide to solve this.
If they're going to bite the bullet and spend six grand,
or if they're going to just have the pool out there.
And I don't know what you would do with a
(42:46):
pool that doesn't have water in it, other than just
to sit and look at it and regret it. All right,
back with more. I do have more Uncle Henry Show
to come, but we have to take a time out
here for a traffic report, weather and words from the
beautiful sponsors. All right, let's take the break back with

So excuse is there rolls out Huh truck to deare
momentarily sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
I I just want to tell you that.
Speaker 11 (44:05):
As I've meant, being another beautiful day here in the
Mobile region, I'm sitting on the front porch. A little breezy.
That's quite all right, better than the rain, which we
see to have had plenty of. It did clear up
the air quite some though. Just wanted to clee in
or let you know that hit. The breakfast thing with
(44:28):
the men at the church this morning was a small crowd.
Speaker 6 (44:31):
Huh.
Speaker 11 (44:32):
Some of them were away doing things I reckon, but uh,
I was encouraged to bring a couple of the biscuits
home to Missus Locksley, which she did appreciate. Might have
earned me a few browns there, if you know what
I mean. Oh manky, I keep walking and trying to
(44:55):
get some of this weight off. But the first Sunday
of the month, mills excuse me, and every Tuesday morning breakfast.
It's a tall task, but one worthy road tide mystery
roll tide rawl.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Thank you, sixty seven year old Chris walking to get
the weight off. A lot of people do that in
the spring. It's something I've pondered. I've been pondering about
getting out more myself and walking around in the streets
of the city of Mobile. I just just have to
strategize which street and Mobile. It's important to figure out
where you're going before you go. Again. The voicemail number
(45:33):
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's
two five one two one six, nineteen seventy six, to
leave a message from me and the listeners of the
unc Cleannary Show. Sixty seven year old Chris wanted to
reveal a little bit more about himself. He phoned this
in a few days ago.
Speaker 11 (45:52):
Road Time Huck, sitting out here on the front porch
on this Saturday afternoon, coming up on three thirtieth three.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
Cam right now.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
Thank you for the time stamp.
Speaker 11 (46:04):
I just wanted to call you and let you know that. Well,
let me share with you what sixty seven year old
Chris from West Locksley how he likes to enjoy his
viewing TV viewing pleasure. And by the way, you can
well from here, you can pick this up with a
set of rabbit ears. It doesn't require cable nor Wi Fi.
Speaker 3 (46:28):
All right, this is good, this is this is budget,
this is now. In the last sevement of the show,
Buford's parents were struggling with pool repairs. Maybe they can
cut costs a home by watching over the air television
rabbit ears, like sixty seven year old Chris does on
a Saturday. So he's so five o'clock. You start watching.
Speaker 11 (46:52):
At five o'clock. I like to watch The Three Stooges
three students show two hours work, which usually encompasses i'm
gonna say old roughly about six or seven episodes because
they you run about fifteen twenty minutes each.
Speaker 3 (47:05):
Now I don't know that I've watched, of course, I've
watched the Three Stooges because I grew up in the
United States of America as a male, and most males
of my age spend some time watching The Three Stooges.
In the United States of America. But I don't know
that I've ever watched two hours at one sitting.
Speaker 11 (47:28):
And after that show comes on called Spin Gooley.
Speaker 9 (47:32):
They usually there's show horror movies.
Speaker 11 (47:34):
Sometimes some of them are.
Speaker 13 (47:36):
Funny.
Speaker 11 (47:37):
Horror movies are silly ones, if you will. Last week
they had a good and it was one of the
many Godzilla movies that was on tonight. Brooks and really
looking forward to this one. I've seen it before, but
it's been quite a number of years. Attack of the
Fifty Foot Woman. I definitely look forward to that.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
And oh, oh, you know, the last time I saw
that movie would have been on Channel five back when
they had the Big Show. Do you remember the Big Show?
If you're well, If you're you'd have to be my
age to remember the Big Show. But they used to
show movies in the afternoon on the Big Show. And
(48:23):
if and if you were home from work sick and
you'd turn on the TV in the afternoon, that have
a movie. I think Max Goodwin? Was it Max Goodman
that introduced the movies? Anyway, I remember seeing that movie
on Channel five years ago.
Speaker 11 (48:40):
When that expires at about nine thirty, Batman comes Home
and this is of course the original TV series, and
this is the first ever appearance of the original Catwoman,
the actress ursa kid. Yeah, I'm sure you remember her.
Oh yeah, god, well you got the original Star Trek
(49:02):
comes on there for the ten o'clock just depends on
how how sleepy I am and what not. By the
nd and of course tomorrow is the first Sunday of
the month.
Speaker 7 (49:14):
You know what that means.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
Yeah, church, church food.
Speaker 11 (49:17):
Have to elaborate. Hope you enjoyed your weekend off every buddy.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Sixty seven year old Chris, thank you.
Speaker 13 (49:24):
I did.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
I enjoyed the weekend. I'm at a point in time
where rest is appreciated from time to time, but I
don't want to rest too long because you never know
when you're not going to be able to get up.
All right out of sixty seven year old Chris, thank
you for sharing how to have good entertainment on a
budget watching rabbit ear Television available to all the consumers
(49:48):
with televisions that can receive it. All right out of
time for this edition of the Uncle Emery Show. Thank
you for listening. As they say in Sairland, have a
good one and as they say in Theodore, take it easy.
Speaker 9 (50:06):
All right Later,
Henry, I I'm concerned about your your mental health. Uh.
Usually usually you can take this verbal abuse, you know,
and it just slides off of you. But here lately, uh,
when all these people call and your stupid, ignorant, crazy
and all that kind of stuff, you know, and you
got the hollering and screaming, and uh, you've lost control.
(00:30):
But uh, Henry, when they come down there, when the
ambulance pulls up down there and they come in there
at the station, they get you and put the straight
jacket on you. Tell them you want a new straight jacket,
one of one right out of the plastic brand. You
want out and got that puke and all that stuff
on it, you know, So get you a new straight jacket.
(00:51):
Then they when they take you off, because I think
you lose it. Hank lot to you later.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Message deleted.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
This is the Uncle Henry's show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNT. Thank you very much for your listening
to this show. I appreciate your listener hood, I appreciate
your patience with the program as well as you often
probably keep waiting for something to happen. Me too. Well,
(02:04):
here we are together once again on the Uncle Henry
show me and you trying to figure out what has
gone on, what is going on, and what might happen.
If you like to call the show, you can two
five one four seven nine two seven two three. That's
two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now there was We've got
(02:27):
a lot to talk about. As usual, there's so much
no news coming out of our federal government and the
different aspects of the federal government that are at each
other's throats. It's hard to keep track of everything going
on with the federal government. We have stuff going on
with the state government. In fact, today this has never
happened before my life. Maybe it's happened in years for
(02:51):
quite a bit. But I walked into a local business
today to get a prescription filled, and when I was
in there, I heard something that sounded vaguely and and
uncomfortably familiar. And it turns out that they were listening
(03:13):
to the Alabama legislature. Yeah, yeah, so stuff. I don't
know why. I don't know what they what they wanted
to hear about, because that'll really depress it if you
listen to the legislature whenever they're in session or in
a committee. It's very depressing. Soy, we had so I
encountered that, but today was a Mobile City council meeting.
Lots to get to from the council meeting today. First, though,
(03:36):
I know you're concerned about the beavers. We learned a
few weeks ago at the Mobile City Council when a
beaver advocate attended the meeting and spoke on behalf of
the beavers. The city of Mobile, of course having to
pay someone to remove nuisance beavers who are building dams,
and were worried about the the the effect of the
(03:58):
dams and and waters flowing into people's neighborhoods and into
their homes, and so the neighbor the beavers are being removed,
and a beaver advocate went to the city council meeting
to explain to us the beavers are have just as
much rights as human beings, and they're monogamous.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Beavers are a gentle, monogamous species who form pair bonds,
meet for life.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
They're gentle, they're monogamous. They're everything you're looking for really
in a creature. They're general, they're monogamous. They find they
have bonds for life. They're just wonderful. Well, today Mobile
City Council meeting. At the pre council meeting got an
update on the beavers. I believe the update was provided
(04:49):
by Josh Woods, the city councilmen for District six. Let
me see if I can find the beaver update for us.
And I think the interesting part of this is that
councilman Josh Woods talks about how many emails the city
(05:09):
council is getting about the gentle monogamous beavers.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I do want to touch on the the infestation of beaver.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Issue, infestation of beavers now. A year or two ago,
Josh Woods called the coyotes a plague of coyotes. Now
we have an infestation of beavers.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Just for some context, we have been bombarded by emails.
I mean probably close to seven hundred emails, I would imagine,
but I would say that out of the seven hundred.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
And now, I guess seven hundred emails. Do you think
these are mobilions emailing about the beavers? Just guess in
your own mind. Wonder to yourself what would be the
percentage of people in your neighborhood emailing about beavers versus
the people that don't live in the city of Mobile.
(06:03):
Just some to pond or think about it. All right,
let's go back to Josh.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
I've only received three from my constituents, and probably maybe
four from across the city, So I do want to
put that into con.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So seven seven hundred emails, three from his constituents, maybe
four from across the city. That leaves many other emails.
I'm not good at math, but it sounds like the
majority not even coming in from the city of Mobile
on behalf of the gentle, monogamous beavers that bond for life.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I text is, you know, state law, as as Roberts said,
State low says that you can't just trap a beaver
and then take it down the street and put it
put it in somebody else's problem or making somebody else's problem.
So theoretically we're not catching beaver's running them out to
commissioner do its district out in the county and saying
see you later, here's some money for lunch or something.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Here's some money for lunch, you know, And that's sound.
That does sound if the beavers are gentle and monogamous
and they form bonds for life and they live in
multi generational families in their beaver lodges. It does sound
it sounds kind, doesn't it to take them off to
Commissioner do its district and give them a lunch money.
I didn't know that. See, beavers can even apparently deal
(07:16):
with the currency and get lunch, and.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
We can't do that on you know, really handcuffed by
the state. So and I would just want to kind
of put that into context that the majority of these
came from folks around the country. I even got one
from British Columbia.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So, hey, email, uh, I don't know that the councilman's
probably too busy to ever listen to this show, Josh, Josh,
if you are listening, though, maybe you could email the
British Columbia people back and ask them who they banck
for mayor. It'd be fun, Hey, it'd be fun. Look,
(07:56):
I've had many out of towners calling the show about
who they think ought to be mayor of Mobile. It'd
be fun to get some emails from British Columbia and
many other faraway places, Josh. See if you can email
some of those people back and ask them who's their
pick for mayor.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Josh.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
All right, back to Josh Wood.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Really, when it comes down to it, I think the
people in Mobile really realize at Sunday shows that water
impacts us and while that there's not a real good
alternative that maybe makes everybody happy in the meantime, this
is what we got to do.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
So I definitely if changes need to be.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Made, I would definitely say you need to start solicting
and reaching out to your state legislator to change anything
when that comes.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So thank you, all right, beaver advocates. I know that
you love your beaver.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Public sentiment is with the beavers.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yes, Beaver's people have a soft spot on their heart
for the beavers. Instead of emailing the city council, email
state legislators and let them enjoy the fun.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
Show on news Radio seven ten WNTM.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM. It
is five twenty news said lines coming up in ten
minutes here on the Uncle Henry Show from Fox ten
and from Fox Radio National News. Now, I have a
little bit more from the Mobile City Council Mobile City
Council meeting today, although I've already told you the most
(09:51):
important part was the beaver update on beaver interest from
around the country now also at today's Mobile. By the way,
city council meeting today was almost two hours long. They
had their pre council meeting than they had their two
hour long meeting. It was it was brutal, brutal to
(10:15):
try and understand what's going on in there. But it's
all available on the City of Mobile's YouTube channel. And
I don't have I don't have the time, nor the patience,
nor the intestinal fortitude to spend the rest of this
hour telling you about the city council meeting. I just
can't do it. It's too mind numbing and soul crushing.
(10:36):
It's any watching any level of government go to work
in this country seems to really I'd like to keep
some illusions about how things work. And when it comes
to government, the closer I look at how it works,
the more I wish I didn't know. It doesn't matter
what level of government. So if you want to see
(10:56):
the council meeting and all of the discussions about all
the different issues, and there were there were a lot
of things discussed today that you might be interested in,
cityomobileutube dot com, they got it all there and Lang
lamyakmobile dot Com does the best job in my personal
opinion of their coverage of the council Lamiacmobile dot Com. Now,
(11:17):
there were a group of citizens that attended the city
council meeting today to tell the council they did not
like the idea that some property would be rezoned to
allow for government subsidized housing for senior citizens. This is
the former Nolewood Hospital property. So a bunch of people,
(11:41):
Lamyak says, dozens of residents showed up. They were they
they were worried that having government subsidized housing right next
to all these different subdivisions would lower the property values
of their their homes. And they also complained about traffic
(12:03):
and other things. Now, this there was a lengthy discussion
on this. I cannot share with you all of it,
but I've got just a little bit just to give
you a little taste, just a little taste of this.
By the way, Shelby Mitchell of ninety five cast Jay
coming into Are you coming in to get your stuff?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Yes? But I.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Okay, Well you can't talk. I'm talking about the city
council meeting on the radio. She's all right, Shelby Mitchell
is waving off microphone to people watching on Facebook. I've
got I've got you on the radio, listening wherever you are.
There's a there's less than twenty people watching on Facebook,
but they're important because they can see her. They can
(12:48):
see her and well shelby. The segment will be over
in a few minutes. All right, very good. Now to
to to recap what I was talking about before. Residents
showing up. They don't want the low the government subsidized
housing for seniors in their neighborhood near their subdivisions because
(13:11):
they're worried about property values going down. And then there's
stuff about traffic and if you want to hear and that,
that's me simplifying as much as I can. Several people spoke,
so if you want to hear all their different arguments,
you can go to that YouTube channel for the city.
I edited a little bit of this so you can
(13:32):
hear mobile city councilmen William Carroll talking to an elderly
resident about his concerns. Yes, this is edited, so to
both men that have had their comments edited, apologies for
having to edit due to brevity. But again you can
watch all of this on YouTube. So here we go.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
I don't understand.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
It sounds like there's an issuance here that some people
don't want poor people living next to him.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
That's that's what I think. I heard you say. That's
what I said.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
Well, that's that's what I'm here.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I'm saying you said it yourself. Okay, but why.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
Would you want to put a government assisted subdivision or
area project inside a makeup of this?
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Tell me that. Let me say this to you.
Speaker 12 (14:22):
I am a avid, avid housing person, h A champion
affordable housing, champion, lord of modern income living.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
He's a champion. We need to get him an affordable
housing cape, which and hey, I wore a no tolls
cape and it was quite effective. Well, not as effective
as it needed to be, because there's still going to
be a toll on the bridge if it's if it's
ever built. However, capes can be get. We need to
(14:57):
get William Carroll an affordable housing cap and he can
wear it as if a superhero because he's a champion
for affordable housing and this is good. This will be
a way to get his message across while also wearing
a stylish cape.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
A champion attainable housing and what makes a great neighborhood
it's the mixture of that.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
All right. Now, this is the fun part. I thought
you might want to hear here. Here will This is
the recipe. If you live in a neighborhood where everybody's
like you, that's bad. If everybody's house is a kind
of at the same value, that's bad. It's better to
have a forty five thousand dollars house next to one
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars house. Just listen, because
(15:38):
the logic is here.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
You can't when you see neighborhoods today where everybody lives
in a half a million dollar house or a million
dollar house, the neighbors don't even talk to each other
because they all have their own things to do.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
That does sound like a nightmare, doesn't it. Living in
a neighborhood with a half a million dollar house and
you just don't have time for your neighbor that sounds
like a nightmare.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
And when you still in a neighborhood that is totally
all divested in low income, then you see everything go
to shambles. But when you see an area that is
mixed with low my income, high income, luxury income neighborhoods
that have true neighborhoods where it's all mixed.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
That's where our city is thriving.
Speaker 10 (16:19):
And it sounds like, to be honest with me, it
sounds like, in my mind, you only want a certain
income level to be in this neighborhood. Well, it sounds
that way. You said, these houses are three hundred thousand four.
Why would you put a house over here that costs
that much? Meaning that don't put it here because our
(16:40):
houses are this much.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
That's what that's the average of the area.
Speaker 10 (16:44):
But one, you don't even know what the cost of
development is. Two you haven't even even seen it, So
you're making an assumption of what the neighborhood is going
to look like.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
It goes on and on, and you can watch all
of it on you who bis I said, But this
is important for you to if you ever intend to
go to the city council and talk to them, because
something the city is doing might affect your property value.
They do not want to hear that to complain about
something the city is doing lowering your property value. That
(17:21):
is not need to figure out a different reason to
oppose it. Because you just heard there that if something
It almost sounded like you was saying, hey, your property
value going down might be wonderful for your neighborhood. You
will thrive. You will thrive because then you'll get to
know your neighbors. Because if everybody in the neighborhood has
(17:43):
a house that's worth four hundred grand, you might not
get to know each other, and you won't thrive. Uncle

Hello caller, Hey Henry, is Jimmy the Economist.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Jimmy the Economist? You are live on the radio.
Speaker 13 (19:33):
I think it's awesome of you to be so noble
as the pair that William Carroll dirty laundry. I think
he's a product of mcgiltoolan if my memory's correct. So
if you like the way he thinks, then send your
kid of mcgiltolan. I guess, well, if he's such a
(19:58):
successful and wonderful what did he say He was a champion.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
He was a champion.
Speaker 13 (20:05):
He's a residential developer with mixed juice and rich and
poor alike, all living in one healthy commune within the
cities of a mobile. I'm wondering where he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
He's yes, it's thriving. It's a thriving thing.
Speaker 13 (20:23):
He's pieced together Heaven right there in the middle of
the mobile. But nobody really knows where he's talking about.
But if he's such a great developer of residential real
estate for rich and poor alike, why is he doing
it from within the confines of city hall? Is there
(20:43):
more money to be made being a city councilman and
a public real estate developer with public money? Is there more?
Is that more profitable than doing it in the private sector.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Well, maybe it's easier to be a champion when you're
when you are elected to public office and you can
affect policy as a champion.
Speaker 13 (21:07):
I never thought about having the tag word champion over
my head instead of a you know, decent income, a
good wage from being a respected, honorable private sector developer
of residential property that people really like and enjoy and
(21:28):
see their values go up and up and up like
they should. But hey, you know, I don't live in Mobile, obviously,
but I am proud of Uncle Henry of airing this
dirty laundry. This is wonderful. And William Carroll, you should
be absolutely ashamed of yourself pawning yourself off as a
(21:51):
real estate developer. Please, you're a pawn of the citizens,
mostly the ones that aren't that smart Mobile, have a
good day.
Speaker 14 (22:03):
Henry.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
All right, Jimmy the econmis thank you very much for
your phone call two five one four seventy nine two
seven two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Hello caller, Hey Uncle is JD JD.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You are live on the radio, Uncle.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I was I was thinking yesterday I called you and
I was talking to you about my marketing business. Yeah,
so I wanted to call back today and give a
little bit of a tip to your listeners.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Uh, data collection is at an all time high today
with a big companies tracking people's data, collecting people's information
and so uh if you ever notice, like when you
go on Google and you start searching for something or
maybe you're just talking about something that you all of
a sudden, you'll just see ads pop up for it
(22:54):
on book at different places.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Absolutely, yes.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
So when you download apps on your phone, like a
free app like a flashlight or a game, the companies
that give you those apps for free are actually using
them to track your daily movements, like your GPS location.
They listen to your conversations even when your phone's off,
so like if your phone's just sitting in your console
(23:17):
of your vehicle, or maybe if it's in your purse
or something like that. The apps that are installed on
your phone have access to your microphone to be able
to pick up on keywords and things that you say,
and that information is then elected viral whatever company gave
you the app, and then it's sold to data collection
companies that then resell it to advertisers. And people do
(23:42):
more and more of this without even knowing it, right,
So they also have Amazon Alexas in their homes. They
have Google, the Google, the Hey Google thing that you do. Right,
So even when you say hey Alexa and you're talking
to Alexa, if you're still in the room and you're talking,
Alexa is still listening to you, and that's Amazon Web Services.
(24:03):
So as you're talking with that device in your room,
it's still picking up on keywords that you're saying about
different topics, and it's sending that back to Amazon Web
Services to be able to retarget you with that. So
it's not sure if everybody knew kind of how that works,
wanted to share that with everybody now?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Is the only way to avoid it to not own
a smartphone or these devices? Can you turn off? Can
you opt out? Is there a way to have a
smartphone and not get tracked.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
So yeah, basically to not have a phone or not
having any of these devices because what companies are finding
out now is the data about their customers is more
valuable than the actual products or services that they're selling.
And so the only software, and I'll stop with this,
(24:53):
the only software that there is is if you go
on your phone and look for a website called disconnect
I think the web address for it is disconnect dot me.
They have a free plan and then they have paid subscriptions.
And what disconnect does. You can install on your phone
and you can get it on your laptop.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Now I've got I've got to ask did disconnect hire
you to market them?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
No, no, okay, all right, just check it, just check it,
because I thought this is really this is really some
outstanding gorilla marketing. If that's what it is. So it's
disconnect dot me.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Well, you know what, you can actually get the free
version of it and it works just as well as
the paid version. So there you go, right, But disconnect
dot and if you download that on your phone or
on your laptop, what you're able to do is block
about ninety percent of the tracking sites that follow you
when you're on the web or when you're on your phone.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
All right, I got a quick question. So you just
described Amazon, Alexa and Google listening to us, listening for keywords.
Even if we don't think we're talking to them, they're
still listening.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Uh. Correct.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Certainly the government would want a piece of this, wouldn't
they wouldn't they wouldn't the government want to be able
to drop in on somebody's house and listen.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
That's a good question, it's a great question. And you know,
government has tried to get oversight of the data industry,
but because the data industry is all owned by private
companies like Google and Facebook and all the other ones,
then the government doesn't really have that much control.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Well now we learned the opposite when it came to
Twitter and Facebook, with with former government people going to
work there being told what to censor and what not
to censor on their platforms. It's not hard for me
to believe them asking, hey, we would like to listen
in on a certain number of addresses. These people are wanted,
(26:50):
but these indictments are sealed, and you can't. I could
just I could just see the government doing that.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, it's really amazing. You know it marketing. You can
actually go to another website called exactdata dot com and
you can actually pull list of names, phone numbers, and
addresses and just search by what you're looking for. So,
for example, I could get a list of, say, everyone
in Mobile County that has diabetes on exact data dot com,
(27:18):
and I could get their address, their phone number, first
and last name, email address, just with the click of
a button and putting in my credit card, you know,
for if I was trying to target them in terms
of a marketing campaign.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Wow, hey JD, I've got to run them on the break,
But thank you for that, rolls roll. I want to
find that website and find out how many beaver advocates
really do live in Mobile. Back after the break, Uncle
(28:02):
Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM, get his
five fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes, and
then more Uncle Henry's show.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Hello Color, Uncle Henry, how are you?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I've got John, how are you?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
I'm doing great. Two little things I wanted to touch on.
The first one is if that city council member wants
to put up Section eight, he needs to do it
in his own district and stop founding so sanctimonious and
condescending towards people who come to those city council meetings.
He is beyond disrespectful. The second thing I wanted to
(28:44):
talk about, it's been in the news, is there was
a track meet in Texas and one of the young
men sat in the wrong area and there was like
a verbal argument, and the teenager just pulled out a
knife and stabbed him in the heart. Yes, fight in
(29:07):
front of his family.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yes, he died in his He died in his twin
brother's arms. Yes, yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
I mean his whole family had to watch this. And
the defenses it was self defense. And I'm like, if
I'm in Walmart and someone wants to pop off to me,
and even if I get in a verbual argument, I
can't just go stab him, right, you know. I mean,
(29:36):
that's not self defense, not by any legal means whatsoever.
And then the other question is this is a school event.
Why are you bringing a weapon to a track meet?
Questions it's a It's a sad state of the country
(29:58):
and the society that we live in. I just think
it's very unfortunate that people can't, even young, especially young people,
can't settle things like mature adults without stabbing or shooting
one another.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Well, it is. It has become more and more of
an epidemic in the country, young people resorting to violence
to solve every possible conflict.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Yeah, well that's all I had for today, Uncle Henry.
I just wanted to share that with you. I hope
you have a great afternoon.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Say already have Thank you very much. I appreciate very
much your phone call two five one four seven nine
two seven two three the telephone number here on the
Uncle Henry Show. Hello caller, Roll, Roll tied.
Speaker 14 (30:46):
Roll, Hey, I just I found JD's call very fascinating
in just the whole idea that your phone's always listening
to you. So, in theory is somebody you're using my
Heart radio app to listen to your show, either live
or by podcast, their phone could be listening on the
cover on the everything you say and everything comes out
from your show. Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 13 (31:07):
The phone itself.
Speaker 14 (31:09):
Yeah, so already you've got people who are going to
have a lot of information pop up on their browsers
about beavers and affordable housing. And it was just it's
so in theory, if somebody called your show and started
talking about spiked cod pieces, personal lubricants, and leaded songs
that would probably show up on their surch hitory history.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
That would be horrible. Yes, I would pray that no
one would ever bring I've already I always tell people
don't call in with that kind of nasty stuff.
Speaker 14 (31:34):
You're right, and people should not call in talking about
spiked cod pieces, personal lubricant or leather songs.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
No, no, never, never, because the good like you said, somebody,
somebody could be listening on the iHeartRadio app and then
their smartphone would hear that and they would start getting
disgusting ads on their phone about all those things that
were terrible.
Speaker 14 (31:57):
That would be that would just be a huge detriment
to our society. If people I started getting random made
for leather thongs and it.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Would be horrible. It would be horrible.
Speaker 14 (32:06):
It'd be terrible. And you know, in theory, I know
that we can use it. I like her to listen
to iHeart Radio. So if somebody called your show said
something stupid like hey, Alexa, order me a love song, Hey,
that could really mess them up.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
It would be horrible.
Speaker 14 (32:20):
Yeah, So folks just do the right thing and call
them uncle Henry shows talking about beavers and affordable housing
and stay away from topics because you never know who's
listening in or what AI is listening in. Yes, and
people could be overrun with spiked cod pieces and all
sorts of crazy toys.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
It would be horrible. They just don't Yeah, it would
be horrible. This is this is really this is another
reason that I've got to figure out how to get
a call screener.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
Yes, sir, maybe we could start to go fund here
or something like that to protect ourselves from the lascivious things.
Speaker 9 (32:51):
Of the world.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
That would be good. That'd be a good use for that.
Speaker 14 (32:55):
Oh, I'm gonna let you go. Hey, I shoot, Yeah,
I appreciate your showing roll Tide roll, chadroll.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Thank you very much. See now, that was just like
JD's call. That was a that was a wonderful companion
call to j JD's call about your phone listening in
on you. Now, And I know you're you're you the
the younger listener in their sixties and fifties. You should
(33:22):
you should be concerned about your phone listening to you.
But I'm at a point in my life where I
get amused at the idea that I would be tracked.
I do. I get amused at the idea that somebody
might hear what I'm saying or what when I'm off
the air, I get. I just I just think that
would be very funny. In fact, I sometimes wish that
(33:45):
there was somebody employed at these businesses forced to listen
to all the things I ask Alexa on all the
things I might say to my daily life, because I
know they'd be in their twenties and they'd be endlessly
bored and annoyed. There is more show to come. I
(34:11):
think we've talked about the gentle beavers. We may get
into possums in the next segment of the show.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
Kids.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. In this half hour of show, I'm
gonna check some voicemail from listeners. I might throw in
a news item. I'm not exactly sure. Sometimes I get
(34:58):
to talking and I talk too much. The voicemail number
if you want to leave a message for the Uncle
Hendvers Show two five to one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. That's two five one two one six, nineteen
seventy six. To leave a message for the Uncle Henry
Show here on news Radio seventy ten WNTM. I'm going
(35:24):
to start off with a voicemail about possums. There now
there was. We've had numerous shows about beavers and raccoons
and possums on the Uncle Hendrew Show because this show
reflects the concerns of the community. This community has a
heart for possums, for raccoons, and especially for the gentle
(35:45):
monogamous beavers of Mobile County. Now snake trappers call the
show a lot advocating for possum crossing signs out in
Westmobile because he is he just it hurts his soul
to see possums end up his roadkill. Now chiming in
on the possum appreciation is Bidford. Let's what is Biufford
(36:09):
got for us?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Hannay listen to snake trapper Uh being advocate for the opostums. Yes,
I have always agreed with the advocacy of the opostles
and have supported his advocacy.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
But man, it's uh, it's trying.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
It's a trying time at the uh Bufford's well, not
my house, but my mama's house.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
With listener and Beaufford, I apologize for already jumping in here.
But I don't know. Over the course of all the
years that Bufford has called the show, I don't think
he's ever mentioned as mama. Maybe he has, it was years,
ten years ago or something. So hmm, I'm gonna hear
a little a little bit about Bufford's mama here. I'm
(36:59):
now extra intrigued. Possum's and Beufford's mama.
Speaker 9 (37:06):
That's a uh Ufford's.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Well, not my house, but my mama's house with the
old possum, Henry, and old possum.
Speaker 9 (37:13):
Got into my mama's pool. We ain't bragging, Henry, but
my mom and daddy have an any ground pool, Henry.
They got it installed in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Henry. Remember the nineties when when when there was a
little class and middle class peoples could live fairly well
and they could afford to get pools.
Speaker 9 (37:36):
In their backyards. You know there's normal people, Henry. I mean,
I no boat jillionaire one percentury, but you know fellers that.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Had blue collar type job and went to work five
six days a week, and we're able to relax on
the weekend and swim in the pool in the backyard
and maybe barbecue a steak.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Well, so now I'm sorry to interrupt again, but talking
about the nineties and the class that used to exist
in the country, what about and I remember that. Yes,
now it may shock you, Buford, but once upon a
time you could support an entire family on a middle
class income, and the mom could stay home and take
(38:18):
care of the kids, and you could survive financially those
Now nowadays that would be quite you'd have to really
do some you'd have to do some some world class
budgeting today. But back in the day it used to happen.
There used to be You're right, there used to be
a middle class back in the.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
Day, Henry.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Now that we were that.
Speaker 9 (38:37):
Was the before come.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yes, But now that we're in the area of so much,
so long of Marx's communist rule, from the Bidens and
old bombers and such, you know, you can't afford.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Might want to throw the bushes in there too.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
For that stuff.
Speaker 9 (38:54):
No more, Henry could to repair my mama's pool is
six thousand dollars to repair the liner.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Then she says, well, how much would it cost to
just fill the thing in? Ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Henry.
Speaker 9 (39:10):
It is because the city of Mobil has all these.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Permits you have to have to just fill in a pool.
Speaker 9 (39:16):
But Henry, what started this was in opossum. Henry and
opossum gotten.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Out there pool and completely destroyed the liner by the steps.
Speaker 9 (39:30):
I don't know what was going on one but my
daddy was awoken in the middle of the night of
some sort of animal. Ruckus got up the next morning
and there was a dead opossum in the bottom of
that there pool. But Henry, that opossum scratched and gnawed
that liner.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
By the steps and destroyed my mama's pool.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I've been I'm sorry, I say I've not. I've only
I've not owned an inground pool or an above ground pool,
although I was always there was a family that lived
off DP. Year this would have been the nineties as well, Beaufort.
I remember this family. I can't remember their names, but
(40:15):
they installed they lived right off of DP. They installed
an above ground pool in their front yard and they
would float in that pool and they would wave at
people as they drove by. It was it was wondering.
It was a wonderful Southern thing to see people right
(40:37):
off DP. And they were these were people of they were.
How should I describe them. They were somewhat big boned.
They were big boned people floating in their above ground pool,
and they would just wave at the people as they
drove by. All right, where was I? Oh A, I'm
having trouble understanding how a possum could tear up a
(41:00):
pool liner. I don't know. I have a deficit of
possum knowledge. I'm unfortunately possum ignorant.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Trying to tell my parents not to hate on the opossums,
that they do a lot of good for the environment
and the population in general.
Speaker 9 (41:19):
But man, it's like me and right coons and right coons,
youre the whole of my garage wall. It's kind of hard.
It's kind of hard to be sympathetic to them.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Critters start looking at them and vermin when.
Speaker 9 (41:33):
They start destroying your property.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
And the way inflation is now, everything is thousands of
dollars to fix.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
All right, And then the voicemail cut him off. So
they have a financial a terrible financial situation to fix
the pool. Six grand to fix it, ten grand to
fill it in. Well, bless them, I'm and as your
point it out, beford A lot, a lot of things
(42:02):
have just skyrocketed and cost over the last numerous years.
And you turn left that many thousand dollars, and then
you turn right, it's an additional thousand dollars, just a
lot lots. Could we get back to the hundreds? Oh wait,
I think medicine is in the hundreds. Could we get
back down to tens and twenties? Could we just get
(42:25):
back down to that level of tens and twenties? All right, Beford,
thank you for sharing your possum destroys the pool. And
let me know how your parents decide to solve this.
If they're going to bite the bullet and spend six grand,
or if they're going to just have the pool out there.
And I don't know what you would do with a
(42:46):
pool that doesn't have water in it, other than just
to sit and look at it and regret it. All right,

I mean. Oh manky, I keep walking and trying to
(44:55):

of the month, mills excuse me, and every Tuesday morning breakfast.
It's a tall task, but one worthy road tide mystery
roll tide rawl.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Thank you, sixty seven year old Chris walking to get
the weight off. A lot of people do that in
the spring. It's something I've pondered. I've been pondering about
getting out more myself and walking around in the streets
of the city of Mobile. I just just have to
strategize which street and Mobile. It's important to figure out
where you're going before you go. Again. The voicemail number

let me share with you what sixty seven year old
Chris from West Locksley how he likes to enjoy his
viewing TV viewing pleasure. And by the way, you can
well from here, you can pick this up with a
set of rabbit ears. It doesn't require cable nor Wi Fi.
Speaker 3 (46:28):
All right, this is good, this is this is budget,
this is now. In the last sevement of the show,
Buford's parents were struggling with pool repairs. Maybe they can
cut costs a home by watching over the air television
rabbit ears, like sixty seven year old Chris does on
a Saturday. So he's so five o'clock. You start watching.
Speaker 11 (46:52):
At five o'clock. I like to watch The Three Stooges
three students show two hours work, which usually encompasses i'm
gonna say old roughly about six or seven episodes because
they you run about fifteen twenty minutes each.
Speaker 3 (47:05):
Now I don't know that I've watched, of course, I've
watched the Three Stooges because I grew up in the
United States of America as a male, and most males
of my age spend some time watching The Three Stooges.
In the United States of America. But I don't know
that I've ever watched two hours at one sitting.
Speaker 11 (47:28):
And after that show comes on called Spin Gooley.
Speaker 9 (47:32):
They usually there's show horror movies.
Speaker 11 (47:34):
Sometimes some of them are.
Speaker 13 (47:36):
Funny.
Speaker 11 (47:37):
Horror movies are silly ones, if you will. Last week
they had a good and it was one of the
many Godzilla movies that was on tonight. Brooks and really
looking forward to this one. I've seen it before, but
it's been quite a number of years. Attack of the
Fifty Foot Woman. I definitely look forward to that.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
And oh, oh, you know, the last time I saw
that movie would have been on Channel five back when
they had the Big Show. Do you remember the Big Show?
If you're well, If you're you'd have to be my
age to remember the Big Show. But they used to
show movies in the afternoon on the Big Show. And
(48:23):
if and if you were home from work sick and
you'd turn on the TV in the afternoon, that have
a movie. I think Max Goodwin? Was it Max Goodman
that introduced the movies? Anyway, I remember seeing that movie
on Channel five years ago.
Speaker 11 (48:40):
When that expires at about nine thirty, Batman comes Home
and this is of course the original TV series, and
this is the first ever appearance of the original Catwoman,
the actress ursa kid. Yeah, I'm sure you remember her.
Oh yeah, god, well you got the original Star Trek
(49:02):
comes on there for the ten o'clock just depends on
how how sleepy I am and what not. By the
nd and of course tomorrow is the first Sunday of
the month.
Speaker 7 (49:14):

Speaker 11 (49:17):
Have to elaborate. Hope you enjoyed your weekend off every buddy.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Sixty seven year old Chris, thank you.
Speaker 13 (49:24):

Speaker 3 (49:24):
I enjoyed the weekend. I'm at a point in time
where rest is appreciated from time to time, but I
don't want to rest too long because you never know
when you're not going to be able to get up.
