Dude, I have not been on the air in, like, three weeks and you're gonna put me to sleep with this crap.

[Charlie]

It's a great song.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's great. If you're trying to make love, I'm gonna keep my britches laced up tight. Builds up. Yeah, that's what I tell her. Just give it a minute.

[Michael]

Here we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

He'll build up.

[Michael]

That's what she said.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what. What? What was that email Chicarella sent me the other day? We were bitching about the convertible top on some BMW. That wouldn't work. Oh.

[Michael]

Can't get it up.

[Charlie]

Oh, it's intermittent.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, what. What's the top doing?

[Charlie]

Intermittently working.

[John Clay Wolf]

Intermittent what?

[Michael]

Intermittently working.

[John Clay Wolf]

So this BMW 5 series, it'll go down but not go up.

[Charlie]

Sometimes it won't go up. It'll go halfway and it'll stop. And then you have to go back down. And then it goes back up.

[Michael]

Bad punchline. Go ahead. Say could.

[John Clay Wolf]

I couldn't. Turley wrote a email. He was trying to figure out how to work it. And then Chickerella wrote back.

[Michael]

That's what she said.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think we just have to lube the top. It's just old. Spray some grease on it or something. And then I wrote back. That's what she said? Yeah. And Turley wrote back, wow.

[Michael]

Happy New Year.

[John Clay Wolf]

So did you fall off the wagon after 20 years? No, since New Year's Eve.

[Michael]

Seven years on January 27th.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's easier not to drink on New Year's than it is during the Thanksgiving to Christmas run.

[Michael]

It is.

[John Clay Wolf]

New Year's is nothing.

[Michael]

No, New Year's is like nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

New Year's is for rookies.

[Michael]

Exactly.

[John Clay Wolf]

New Year's is for the week.

[Michael]

It's amateur night. It's like when you do a radio show. April 1st, April Fool's Day. It's amateur day. You don't do anything on that day. It's two, too. It's too obvious.

[John Clay Wolf]

I got you. No. No. Badge tick.

[Michael]

No. Well, you let them. You let the idiots.

[John Clay Wolf]

Charlie, did you get drunk on New Year's?

[Charlie]

Yeah, I got a little tipsy. Not, like, toasted loud.

[John Clay Wolf]

What? You got toasted on our Christmas party night?

[Charlie]

Oh, yeah. No, I did. It was a bad combination of things. I don't know. I shouldn't eat when you. Somebody passes away and then you're just. It was stupid of me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh. First you play, first you play the.

[Charlie]

And then it was free alcohol.

[John Clay Wolf]

First he plays a mellow Beatles song, and then he's going to talk about grandmothers and puppies dying.

[Michael]

Oh, man.

[Charlie]

Well, you asked me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow, this is uplifting hour here on the Joel Osteen Show.

[Charlie]

But, yes, I had too much.

[Michael]

I have a really good friend of mine die New Year's Day. Let's just keep going.

[Charlie]

All right. Happy?

[John Clay Wolf]

My good buddy's dad died on a couple days before New Year's Eve, and we had his funeral on New Year's Eve.

[Michael]

God.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go.

[Michael]

That's kind of cool, actually. I kind of like the idea of New Year's Eve.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was on his phone talking to somebody in his chair.

[Charlie]

Boop.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wow.

[Charlie]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Michael]

That's the way I want to go. I've always said a million times, I don't want to go. I don't want to lay to bed. I don't want to suffer. I just want to. I want to be doing something like I want to be. I've always said, I'm going to die at 92 doing snap rolls in my biplane. That's how I want to go. I just want to go, oops, I'm going. And have the angels go, come out of your airplane.

[John Clay Wolf]

We went to Arkansas to his funeral.

[Michael]

Rogers, insult to injury.

[Charlie]

Where is that Rogers, Arkansas?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. We took airplane. You don't know? Upper left hand corner, I think, or upper right hand corner, I forgot which one. It's Walmart country up there.

[Michael]

Wouldn't it be weird to be the guy that was on the phone with him, though? I mean, that'd be a little.

[John Clay Wolf]

That would be weird.

[Charlie]

Was he at the funeral? The guy was on the phone.

[John Clay Wolf]

I didn't ask who he was talking to.

[Michael]

I said, jimmy, hello. God, what a rude bastard.

[John Clay Wolf]

He just died.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow. But he spent, you know, Christmas with his grandkids, his kids, and he was good. I liked him a lot. It's Kent's dad.

[Charlie]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You remember Ken? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We. Some good friends, just pitched together and chartered an airplane. Went up there because mine's in the shop.

[Michael]

Okay. What's yours?

[John Clay Wolf]

Doing mine is getting an annual inspection.

[Michael]

Inspection.

[John Clay Wolf]

God, that's expensive. I remember why I only get them every two years.

[Michael]

Especially the word annual.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah. For something that has nothing wrong with it. Yeah, they sure can dream up a list.

[Michael]

Can you give us an idea? Ballpark. How much are you. Don't want to talk about it. Is it, Is it two grand? Ten grand? Just ballpark.

[Charlie]

I'm gonna guess three.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, no, the flat inspection. Just the. Hey, come in here. We'll pop the hood and sniff it down and make you a list of what's wrong. Is three. Holy cow.

[Michael]

That's just a list.

[Charlie]

And you bitch about oil changes, folks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right, right, right.

[Charlie]

Man.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then I make my run through Arkansas this week and Louisiana in 900 miles. After the lip, I'm like, now I remember why I have an airplane. This is ridiculous. I did not get in my bed Friday morning until 4:30 Jesus AM last night. No, Friday morning. Left Wednesday morning, went buying on my buying circle, 900 mile loop and got home at 4:30am did you work Friday? Half the day. I slept till 11. Oh, all in a day's work. Got a lot of pretty cars, Bob. But damn that driving. That. I'm just. We stopped at a. Have you heard about Mexican Hooters? No. There is one in Houston. There's one in Fort Worth and no, it's called Halo La B.

[Michael]

Of course.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we, we just. It was late, you know, it was 11:30 or 10:30 in Houston. Driving through Houston and you know, see Mexican food and sign a lot of cars like, okay, this place is open and we go in there and the Mexican radio station is in there and all the hot Mexican promotion girls and all the hot Mexican. I mean everything was Mexican.

[Michael]

Is this Chula's Sport Cantina?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I saw that too. That was.

[Michael]

I missed the exit for that one, Chula's Sport Cantina.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I forgot what it was called. It was up towards the Woodlands, Holo Loco or something.

[Michael]

And the second Google thing is 10 breastaurants, you should know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it is a breastaurant.

[Michael]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

But we sat down and there was all these screens on. They have a big soccer ball in the middle of the table, a plastic one and a huge bong on top of it. It's not a bong, but it's a bong looking thing. They fill it with beer and it's a tap for your table.

[Charlie]

Oh, what's that called? There's one in Fort Worth downtown.

[John Clay Wolf]

Connie said there's one in Fort Worth cuz she saw the Charge Card. She's like, what are you doing at laa?

[Charlie]

Yeah, there's one down for worth.

[Michael]

Spanish name.

[John Clay Wolf]

Very much so. And I talked to the waitress. I mean, this place was packed. I'm like, are we the only white boys in here? She's like, yeah, I'm glad we got. I got you, like. Yeah. And can't find was good.

[Michael]

Okay. Oh, I honestly.

[John Clay Wolf]

Somebody call and tell me the name of this place. The outfits are. The butts are hanging out like panties.

[Michael]

A little more than Hooters.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. And then they've got short skirts with the bottom of the butts hanging out.

[Charlie]

It's much better looking than Hooters too.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a much better looking. There you go.

[Charlie]

Sports cantina.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. A Hijo loco. Had we not been in such a hurry, we would have stayed longer.

[Michael]

Okay, stay all night.

[John Clay Wolf]

Stay a little longer.

[Michael]

Honestly. Yeah, I like Twin Peaks better than Hooters.

[John Clay Wolf]

Absolutely.

[Michael]

Not to mention the food is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, my God. Hooters. Hooters is nothing.

[Michael]

It's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hooters is going like. Hooters is Radio Shack. Yeah.

[Charlie]

They said they've remodeled. I haven't seen the remodel, but their food.

[John Clay Wolf]

They need to remodel their.

[Michael]

Yeah, the food. Well, I know, but yeah, the food's just there.

[Charlie]

It's their outfits, kind of. It's just the pantyhose and it's just not kind of.

[Michael]

It reminds me of Southwest Airlines flight attendants in the 70s. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael]

It's kind of like done. It's over. You know, let's get hotter. Let's do something different. Twin Peaks came along and you go, I'm never going to Hooters again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Never, ever, ever. I refuse.

[Michael]

And the Bone Daddies. Have you been to Bone Daddies?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah.

[Michael]

And their food is so amazing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I haven't. Redneck Heaven.

[Charlie]

Well, yeah. Redneck Heaven's more for. If you like the trashy girl. That's what you get there. Tattoos. The shorts are shorter and they're not wearing any pantyhose underneath there. And maybe something else. And then you drink a goldfish in a shot. They play the redneck horn.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would like to go to Ojos Locos more than those other places. But in a non peak time when all the Mexican men weren't there and I didn't fear for my life.

[Charlie]

How were you fearing for your life?

[John Clay Wolf]

God, you know, they gave you ever watch the Blues Brothers when they went into the Dexter Lake Club?

[Michael]

Oh, my Lord.

[John Clay Wolf]

No one where the white women at? They weren't doing that no, it just. Can we dance with your date?

[Michael]

Nobody said that. You're just.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no. We were definitely getting the look that you didn't belong. We were not belong. We did not belong. It was not the Pat Benatar We Belong song was not playing.

[Charlie]

All right, maybe it's that type of neighborhood it's in, because the one downtown Fort Worth, Texas, it's not so much. You don't get that vibe. I've been. I know what you're talking about.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't get the. You don't belong.

[Charlie]

No, it is definitely soccer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you ever been there on a Thursday night at 10:30 or just.

[Charlie]

No, no, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just where all the white boys are going to see the hot Mexican girls. That's different.

[Charlie]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Than when you walk into their deal. Oh, yeah, I walked into their deal.

[Michael]

You walked into their deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. Well, you didn't belong, and I wasn't welcome bad. But yeah, the. I think the hottest Mexican girls are hotter than the. The hottest Mexican girls that would work at a place like that. Yeah, all of them are hotter, modest white girls that would work at a place like that.

[Charlie]

Yeah, I agree.

[Michael]

It's just that Latin thing that, you know, they're gonna be. They're gonna be crazy in bed, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

They'Re also gonna look. A bit of chopped jalapeno, a little bit of garlic.

[Michael]

They're gonna. Yeah, they're gonna come in. They will do bad things to you if you make them mad.

[Charlie]

This exotic look.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what it is.

[Michael]

That's it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

They were playing Mexican music like old school. It was like mariachi old school. It was like. I remember when I was a kid and lived on a ranch, and there were Mexican guys that worked there that lived in a little. The house where the rancher guys were. And I would, you know, as a young boy, go down there and hang with them. Javier and Jose. No way. Right. And they would cook tortillas on the burner in the trailer and sit outside around the bales of hay and make a taco out of whatever kind of meat and put a jalapeno. Anyway.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

The music that was playing on their AM radio in 1975, Seven was the music that was on.

[Michael]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it was old school. Remember the PBS station? Remember Saturday mornings, the Mexican music show that was on, like, early 80s, late 70s.

[Charlie]

I remember it, but I didn't listen to anything because just watching the girls.

[John Clay Wolf]

Reocci kind of deal.

[Michael]

Is it like mariachi's? It's like.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Michael]

I thought that stuff was El Rancho Grande.

[John Clay Wolf]

El Rancho Grande, That's a. That's a restaurant. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlie]

Kind of like this.

[Michael]

There it is. There we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that Cartel Blues? Yeah, this was going on Cartel Blues on Thursday night.

[Michael]

Very careful.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, this was going on and. And I didn't think that this was in vogue anymore. Speaking of Mexico cars, we've gotten a lot in the website. We've got a lot of cheap. Well, a lot of.

[Michael]

A lot of High Mile coming too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just at. Give me the van. We've had a lot of submissions of cheaper automobiles.

[Michael]

What's that mean?

[John Clay Wolf]

Means that.

[Michael]

Are they coming from Mexico? You'd mentioned Mexico.

[John Clay Wolf]

Maybe we started advertising on a. Oh, I get it.

[Michael]

You advertise on a different station.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. It's really not what we're fishing for.

[Charlie]

There's no cussing in this song.

[John Clay Wolf]

How would you know? Hoping not.

[Michael]

You understand the FCC doesn't care.

[Charlie]

Yes.

[Michael]

You don't know Spanish.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you don't know, they don't know.

[Michael]

If you don't know, you're still in trouble.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So what about your Christmas, Charlie?

[Charlie]

It was good. I think I told you about the story. Went to relatives up north here and I found out. I believe I have two gay relatives. I'm not sure if they're uncles or cousins.

[Michael]

How'd you find that out?

[Charlie]

Well, I just kind of. I didn't find out. I just kind of put two and two together.

[John Clay Wolf]

One of them give you the. The shocker?

[Michael]

They were tongue kissing?

[Charlie]

No, no, no. They. They came in now and I could be assuming this too. I don't know. Yes, so. But one was wearing two earrings, like one in each. Studs in each ear.

[Michael]

That's questionable.

[Charlie]

Very feminine. Talking about getting married, going to Vegas and, you know, be so beautiful there.

[Michael]

Gay affectation.

[Charlie]

Yes, I got you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yesterday, we buy a seat, a car from somebody and they're coming into the buying office downstairs and one of the buyers is like, hey, Jonna, these guys are friends of mine and they're gay. And I just wanted to give you.

[Michael]

A heads up so you don't say anything stupid.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, so you don't say anything. I'm like, what? Really? Well, hey, are y' all a couple of gays? What you like to have.

[Michael]

Oh, never mind.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is this one of them gay monsters or one of them straight monsters? Because I pay more for the gay ones.

[Michael]

Well, you have said things on the air like they, you know, gay guys. You obvious this car is going to be clean because you guys are a couple of.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that car is clean as a pin.

[Michael]

There you go. You always say guys, gay guys have better, cleaner cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's no doubt.

[Michael]

Yeah. So you've said a few things.

[Charlie]

Did you play this song when they walking in?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I didn't do anything.

[Michael]

The Dancing Queen.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I mean, to think that that's. He felt like he was worried that I was going to just blurt out some gay joke to the gays right there that we're doing business with.

[Michael]

Are you guys the homos?

[John Clay Wolf]

Are y' all all homos or just one of you?

[Charlie]

Y' all don't leave anything in the car I don't want to see. Did you.

[John Clay Wolf]

That would be a true.

[Michael]

Which one of you. The kitchen. Which one's the picture?

[John Clay Wolf]

I didn't even think about it.

[Michael]

No baseball.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-7234 is the radio number.

[Charlie]

So you're saying you'll buy cars from everybody, basically, Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Gays, Mexicans, blacks. Oh, white folk, country folk, poor folk, rich folk. People that are in debt and people that pay cash. They don't care if you're kid Sandies, Indians, engines, easy.

[Michael]

Michael, would you record this for our promo so it can run? There's a new commercial.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know if the Chinese, Vietnamese, anything. Ease. Corians, Asians, Orientals.

[Michael]

Shot me first, shot me last.

[John Clay Wolf]

Europeans, Americans, Canadians. I don't want any Canadian cars. I take that back.

[Charlie]

Yeah, you don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm out on those Canadian cars.

[Michael]

How about Oklahoma?

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotta make extra profit on those.

[Michael]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just to listen to their OU garb.

[Charlie]

Wasn't it so great seeing their ass get kicked? God, that was so wonderful.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why could TCU not have taken them down at the end of that game?

[Charlie]

I didn't have their quarterback in, and.

[Michael]

Michael was at the big game. Michael was there.

[Charlie]

The greatest game, John, I've ever witnessed in my life. Yes, seriously. You'll come back.

[John Clay Wolf]

Play in My Life by the Beatles now.

[Charlie]

And I. And. And really this year, last year, the greatest game ever witnessed was the Cowboys comeback against the Giants. Just improbable.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I was there. That was great.

[Charlie]

Yeah, it was just improbable because they.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sucked and they won. Yeah.

[Charlie]

And so then.

[John Clay Wolf]

32 to nothing.

[Charlie]

31.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, 31 to nothing the half. It was over. It was over.

[Michael]

People were leaving.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is the Alamo Bowl. Yes. Last week versus Oregon.

[Charlie]

Oregon versus the Froggy Frogs down in San Antonio. And so we had an Uber driver that we basically made our chauffeur. His name was Carlos So he's just driving us all around. And so at halftime, getting up, wrapping up, and son looks at me and goes, dad, hey, can we call Carlos and go ahead and go? I was like, I bet, you know, I spend a little bit money on these tickets and stuff. I want to see a little bit of something. I think I told him, well, third quarter, if they're not coming back, we'll leave.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did he just enjoy. Hey, Carlos, come get me?

[Charlie]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Michael]

He liked that.

[Charlie]

They love that. Oh, yeah. He actually, his friend was there too. And at one point we had them go up in the room and we're down in the bar.

[John Clay Wolf]

Would he not have been in school if his name was Brad?

[Charlie]

I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't think so.

[Michael]

I think for a kid it's cool to be able to call the driver.

[Charlie]

Well, that and then we had them do room service in the hotel and had them say, hey, you guys could pick one thing off there and one dessert. Just see how they work. And you have to call it in. Sure enough, they did it. It was amazing. They signed off. I can't believe the hotel let them.

[Michael]

Do it, but it's gonna have affluenza.

[Charlie]

Yeah, no, no, it's a one time deal. Anyway, that game just come back and then it was just the most exhausting thing because they come back and it's overtime and you're like, in college football, it's. It's not first score wins.

[Michael]

Oh, it's not. Oh, no, they gotta go.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's like a shoot off in soccer.

[Charlie]

You get a shot and then I get a shot.

[John Clay Wolf]

From the 25. Yeah.

[Charlie]

25 yard line. Yeah.

[Michael]

So you only each get one shot at it.

[Charlie]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

You get four downs, but you don't.

[Michael]

Have to play the whole 15 minutes.

[John Clay Wolf]

You get one possession.

[Michael]

Okay. One possession each.

[Charlie]

Well, it's. Yeah, exactly. Okay. And so if you score, then I gotta match it. If you don't score and I score, then I win. And then it goes back and forth, back and forth.

[Michael]

So each team scores each time.

[Charlie]

Oh, yeah. And then it was. TCU had to make a field goal long when they made the field. I mean, it was just.

[Michael]

But now you've got a match. If I get a field goal, you. You get a touchdown.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then they win.

[Charlie]

Yeah.

[Michael]

And whoever gets the touchdown wins.

[John Clay Wolf]

And after. Hang on, after two overtimes, they change the rule.

[Charlie]

Yes. They. No field goals. Exactly.

[Michael]

What? Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. It's got to be a test job. Y.

[Michael]

Any want to wrap it up?

[Charlie]

The game gets over and I was literally Exhausted. I was worn out because it's college football. Jumping up and down, going crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

And there was a lot of TCU fans that stuck around. There was some that just high tailed out. Probably the more pricey one ticket ones left, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it was the best college game.

[Charlie]

You'Ve ever seen ever. And. And my wife, it was her first college football game. I was like, yeah, I know. It's like, do you realize what you just saw?

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

You'll never see this again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it was like an Eagle putt.

[Charlie]

Oh, yeah. No hole in one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, true.

[Charlie]

The chain, I mean, it was the largest comeback ever in a bowl history.

[Michael]

Wow, that's amazing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ever.

[Michael]

So what happened to the other team? I mean, did they just come?

[John Clay Wolf]

They lost.

[Charlie]

Well, their quarterback got hurt, which is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Big because that's what saved us.

[Charlie]

He was killing him.

[Michael]

Okay.

[Charlie]

And then TCU's their backup quarterback. Senior. Great story. His father passed away on Thanksgiving. I mean, just awesome story. And like a movie. First start. He gets his first half. He was terrible. I remember standing in line, getting a beer, talking with tcu.

[Michael]

Oh, this will be a movie.

[John Clay Wolf]

This line will be in a film.

[Charlie]

I'm telling him. I was like, man, they need to get this quarterback out of here. Put somebody else in when he comes back. Second half, and leads him to the victory.

[Michael]

And he goes into this locker room and his dad's ghost sits down and goes, son, win this one for dad.

[Charlie]

Well, the brothers had found a press pass to give to the mother so she can get down on the field and so they can celebrate together. I mean, it's just that whole story is wonderful. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. That's awesome.

[Charlie]

So he goes out senior year, victory.

[John Clay Wolf]

And coach of TCU comes out second half wearing a purple shirt instead of a black shirt.

[Michael]

I saw that on Facebook.

[Charlie]

He's very superstitious.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, like, if you want to change your luck, go get you a black girlfriend. He changed his shirt. He had on a black shirt, but he went to purple shirt.

[Michael]

See, the thing about talking with you, it's never safe. It's just never safe, no matter what we're talking about. You can make it uncomfortable.

[John Clay Wolf]

My brain lives in funny zones.

[Michael]

I gotcha. I got you. It's just funny. We could be talking about liver cancer, and you can make it bizarre and uncomfortable in nine words or less.

[John Clay Wolf]

Life is sad, and I like to keep it entertaining.

[Michael]

You do. You do a damn good job.

[John Clay Wolf]

If I didn't keep myself entertained, I would. I don't know what I'd do. I wouldn't you have to. I'd kill myself as much time.

[Michael]

Great. Another funeral.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll be right back. Now back to the John Clay Wolf show. Hit him up right now. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf Show. 800, 800, 107,234. Good morning, Houston, South Louisiana and streamers and streaming land. We will be here till noon. Is an exciting day for Houston, Texas because the Houston Texans are going to the playoffs today at 3:35. 3:35 today.

[Michael]

Little Kansas City. Kansas City coming to town.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's the Suck Bowl. You can hear the sucking sound for miles and miles away now.

[Michael]

Why?

[Charlie]

Well, I mean they Texans kind of backed their way in it to it because the division sucked. Oh. So they're going to probably lose.

[John Clay Wolf]

I hope the Texans win.

[Charlie]

Oh, I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

But then they'll get to a real team and party's over.

[Charlie]

It's.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, the Texans are awful at all.

[Charlie]

No, it's just their quarterback.

[John Clay Wolf]

Anybody who can win a game with Brandon Wheaton. I am so bent on Brandon Whedon as a Cowboy fan. I'm a Cowboy fan. What?

[Michael]

You?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, man. He single handedly ruined our season. I mean, how did he. It would be like somebody come over to your Christmas party and they're wasted and they wind up, you know, beating up all the kids and stealing all the present. I mean, how did.

[Michael]

I don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's who Brandon Whedon is to me.

[Michael]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

He's bad, Santa.

[Charlie]

He sucks so bad at backup quarterback for the.

[John Clay Wolf]

So bad. I'm the hype man on this story. Go ahead, start over. He's the so bad he sucked.

[Michael]

God.

[Charlie]

That he couldn't manage to win one football game.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not one single football game.

[Charlie]

And he was so bad that they had to call in Matt Castle, who was just a little bit better. But he still sucked and he couldn't win a game either.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where was Matt? He sat so bad he'd check down and throw it to Jason Garrett.

[Michael]

Where was, where was, where was this Castle guy working it like he was a backup.

[Charlie]

Like a third string.

[John Clay Wolf]

Had a great run with the Patriots when Tom Brady went down a few years ago. Castle was a good decision. He was a good risk. But Whedon sucked so bad he couldn't throw a pass further than 3 yards. JD and I'm not kidding. He could not. He didn't have the cajones. He didn't have the confidence. He didn't have the sack.

[Michael]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

To throw a ball to one of our receivers.

[Michael]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

He'd have to check down every time and throw it to one of his backs in the flat every single stinking time. Because he was just trying to keep his job because he sucked so bad. He's like, if I throw it further than six yards, it'll probably get picked off because I know I suck. Maybe he just. And then they'll know I suck.

[Michael]

He's nervous. He's scared. He wants his job.

[John Clay Wolf]

How did he go to Houston?

[Michael]

I don't know. How did Des Bryant? Couldn't catch it when they threw to him.

[Charlie]

Anyway, Houston lost three quarterbacks, so he was the fourth option.

[John Clay Wolf]

Seriously. But he won. He won two games, didn't he?

[Charlie]

Yeah, one. I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

One and a half.

[Charlie]

Yeah. Which is. Hey, maybe. Maybe that has something to do, though, with the Cowboys offense.

[Michael]

My point is, doesn't this all go back to Jerry not not wanting to hurt Tony's feelings by having a real, real quarterback in the offing?

[Charlie]

No, I agree. Yes.

[Michael]

Okay.

[Charlie]

All right. Yeah. And he. And if Castle may have been in the system for a year, I think it have been better. But when you're brand new to a system, you're just kind of like, winging it hard.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's hard.

[Charlie]

So hard. This year, I suspect they're going to get a quarterback in the draft or off free agency.

[Michael]

Johnny.

[Charlie]

Think Johnny Manzel.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, you don't want him. We don't need him. He's not going to. Okay, so. So Romo goes down in the Philly game and Johnny Manziel comes in as our QB week number three. Is that right? So then what?

[Michael]

I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do we win? Are we in the playoffs with Johnny? Johnny. Football.

[Michael]

He was supposed to be amazing. What happened?

[John Clay Wolf]

He would have had two broke ribs and a broke fibula by now.

[Charlie]

Okay, well, if he made the game because he could have been hung over.

[John Clay Wolf]

And missed practice, I think he would have had a better attitude and not been a junkie. I think he would have put the heroin down and the whores and the strippers. If he was a Cowboy starter. Yeah, I do. Well, there's. I think he would have got a.

[Charlie]

Starter, but a backup even.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dude, when Romo's out, you're starting.

[Charlie]

I know, but you start the game, you're a starter. But I'm saying if he was the backup, would he still have been focused and a part of the team instead of what he's doing now going to Vegas?

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I'm. I'm hindsighting. Tony Romo's clavicle being broke. Johnny Manzel starting The rest of the season, what would have happened? Would he been a crackhead? No.

[Michael]

Would he have kicked into another gear?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I think he'd have gamed up and done his deal. But I think he would be hurt. And I don't think.

[Charlie]

Yeah, he doesn't last long. He's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't think that. I think his interception. I think the Cowboys fans would have been like, oh, wow, Romo didn't throw that many ducks because I think his interception, his pickoff would have been high.

[Charlie]

Because he's a risk taker. He's a gambler. Yeah. And that the Cowboys off Brandon Whedon is not.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's the reciprocal.

[Charlie]

He's the guy that coach.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much time's left in this game? When can it be over?

[Michael]

Because I gotta go home.

[Charlie]

He's. Yeah, he's the guy at the gambling table. He just constantly. Check, check.

[John Clay Wolf]

He looks a little downsy to me.

[Michael]

Easy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just.

[Michael]

Let's don't. Let's just don't do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

800.

[Michael]

800 people were saying Johnny Manziel was not showing up and being a bad boy so he would get cut so he'd be available for the Cowboys. There's a school of thought there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Believe that School of thought. Kind.

[Charlie]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know Johnny, but I know people do here.

[Michael]

That's what they're saying.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're saying the fact that Johnny went to Vegas and put on a mustache and a wig, that's awesome.

[Michael]

That's hilarious. That's the best. That's the best scheme since the Affluenza kid in Mexico.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's the same deal. I mean, he's the same person.

[Michael]

Yeah, he is just about as effective.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you notice I posted that and I said that last week and then it just took off.

[Charlie]

I did not.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was the first one.

[Charlie]

Would you compare the two? Oh, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

So what's the difference between Johnny Mansell and Ethan Couch? I see the same person.

[Michael]

I didn't see. I didn't see that. That's funny.

[Charlie]

Was the Johnny.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then Mack Engel from the Star Telegram wrote a big story on the next day and I, And I wrote on his Facebook, I said, you know what they say, flattery is the best. Our impersonation is the best form. Yeah. So what, I mean, give him the idea. Did.

[Charlie]

I don't know. Manzel, as far as, you know, some of his background because of his dad.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. He's a car dealer. He's. He's been working at car dealerships in East Texas all for years. I Know people that work with him? Yes, absolutely.

[Charlie]

Spoon fed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Basically, he's just a normal kid. He was really good at golf as a young guy, and he was, you know, just a bouncing boy and it was good. But no, I mean, they weren't that rich.

[Charlie]

You don't have to be rich to be spoiled. You can just be baby the whole time. And you, you're sheltered from stuff. Especially everything.

[Michael]

Everything.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like my kids when they're with their mom. Wow. No wow. Don't know.

[Michael]

We don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Helicopter mom. Anyway, when I got my kids. When I've got my kids and she's not around, I like push them down on the ground and they get up like, why are you doing this? Because I'm mean and because somebody's got to be mean to you. Hey, come here and jump to me. Jump off the tailgate of that truck. They jump and I move and they hit the ground.

[Michael]

Don't do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like, why'd you do that? To teach you, boy, not to trust anybody.

[Charlie]

You're the lessons.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Charlie]

Oh, man.

[Michael]

So you're saying, Johnny Manzel, you want.

[John Clay Wolf]

To hang out with your dad? No, I know. I feel like riding motorcycles together. I'll go kick him over, like when he's going 10 miles an hour.

[Michael]

Don't do that.

[Charlie]

Somebody's got to do it. Yeah, you have to do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't kick your kid over on a motorcycle. He starts screaming like a little biatch. I'm like, hey, dude. I roll up, he's sitting there, it's on my foot. I got. Just screaming, bloody murmuring, Nolan, sit up and pick the bike up off your foot and move your foot. I can't move. Okay, well, I can't help you until you prove to me you can't move. And then he'll sit up, and then I'm like, pick it up. He picks it up, moves his foot. Okay. One day I'm gonna not be here to help you get this. Get this thorn out of your foot.

[Charlie]

No, that's. That's exactly right.

[Michael]

All right. Tough love.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that tough love or is that just not being a raisin? Little.

[Michael]

A little bit above.

[Charlie]

No, it's fine line.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nah. God, that is not fine line. When I'm talking. That is if you don't do it.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then they're gonna get their ass kicked and they're gonna get schooled. Nah.

[Charlie]

No, I agree with you, John, totally, 100%. And I'm liberal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Pushing them down. I agree I was overselling. But no, that. That when I know they're not hurt. And they're being little bitches. No.

[Michael]

Well, you're. But you're also compensating for an ex wife who kind of tends to overprotect.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. Ex wife.

[Michael]

Well, I'm thinking. Oh, current wife, my bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, she's great mom. Okay. Don't get me wrong.

[Michael]

No. Okay. She just helicopter.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but they.

[Michael]

They overprotect.

[John Clay Wolf]

It matters. What?

[Michael]

Yeah, okay, Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

But it's good now that she's got three of these little bastards because now they. They outnumber her. So she can't do it anymore. She can't be with the first one. Yes. The first boy. Yes. But now there's three boys and they're just all over.

[Michael]

So.

[John Clay Wolf]

So now she's like. I mean, if she hears one yelling, like. Yeah, you can hear it in the cry or the yelling. Ah, it's not real.

[Michael]

It's not real.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, call me when it's real. Call me when you know what you want for the damn thing. Hang on. Speaking of this, let's talk to Steven.

Okay, well, I owe things that aren't worth it either. But I mean, do you know what buys it?

[Steven]

Yeah, 25 buys it.

[John Clay Wolf]

25 buys it. And are you coming up with 25 based solely off of the amount that's what you owe, or do you believe that that's market value?

[Steven]

I believe that's market value. I blue booked it, stuff like that. It's got a lift. 30. It's got 35.

Pay him his 24,800. Eight. Well, we're batting a thousand right now. 800. 800. Seven, two, three, four. 800. 800. I hit it at 20. I gave 24. Because he built value. It's the death show here on espn.

Ooh, that's a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a lot. It is a lot. No, no, no, no, no. I wanna. I mean, if we were gonna have a goal, you know, at the. At the height of my old deal, IMs, when we were doing that, we never hit a hundred. I said it was a hundred. It's like 88. 88 million a year.

[Michael]

Pretty close.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael]

Amazing.

[Charlie]

You'll get there.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a lot. You know, if you want to get there, that's the key. That's what I keep asking myself. Yeah, we're growing and. Yeah, we're starting to. You know, things are starting to hit on all eight. Not making the money that I'd like to see, but. But I. It's fun hiring people and it all working and creating jobs and revenue going up and all that stuff. I've done it before right now, but the. I don't know, you get so glued to it. You get so committed. You get so.

[Michael]

Yeah, you get a lot more moving parts. A lot of people. You give me a little volume on.

[John Clay Wolf]

This just to show you get to where you can't.

[Michael]

Yeah, you got a lot of people. A lot more moving parts.

[John Clay Wolf]

Everyone relies on.

[Michael]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

When Charlie, when you go back a few years ago is you, me, Connie.

[Charlie]

And that was it.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was it. Literally before. If you go Back four years ago. That was it. That was it. And life was. It was easier.

[Michael]

Totally get that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it wasn't. Hang on. No. From your Bobo, you were having to do more.

[Charlie]

I mean, I can't tell the difference.

[Michael]

Days are still a blur.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, everything we do and add on to, we're like, okay. We're not looking for more things for Turley to do.

[Michael]

I understand.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is for sure. Holmes has plenty, I guess. Yeah.

[Michael]

I remember there was a time George Strait was interviewed by somebody. He said the reason. Part of the reason I continued the tour is there's so many people depending on me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael]

He was. Honestly, I got so. I've got so many people that look to me to tour every year to make their.

[John Clay Wolf]

Totally make their living.

[Michael]

He goes, that's the reason I stay doing it. He goes, it's not for the money. And honestly, I'd rather be out doing rodeo. Because in his spare time he would go out and do rodeo under an assumed name.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right?

[Michael]

Yeah. Well, that's it. That was his love. And he goes, I don't. I still love touring, don't get me wrong. But if it wasn't for everybody else, I'd probably quit.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. And then you hear those phone calls like we were on this morning, and you shake your head.

[Michael]

What was it phone call about?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, it's just a friend of ours that we. That were partners with in a sense.

[Michael]

Okay. What do you say?

[John Clay Wolf]

And they, they. They do 12. A thousand a week.

[Michael]

Jesus.

[John Clay Wolf]

A week. A week.

[Michael]

Okay. What does that make you feel?

[John Clay Wolf]

Just the logistics of that makes my. Makes me want to poop my britches.

[Michael]

Well, you're not going to do that, are you? I mean, is that not a goal of yours to move that many cars?

[Charlie]

It'll. I think it'll happen if you keep going the way you're going with gimmetheven.com. yes. And the way things are rolling. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Unless I have a heart attack and die.

[Michael]

You're not gonna do that. Stop it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can't take it.

[Charlie]

I think give me the vin.com will survive even then.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. Give me the vin.com like the Kid Craddock show.

[Michael]

He's been dead three years and they're still doing it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think give me the vin.com would actually. I think wholesale dealer to dealer. The what? The speculation that I do that. No way.

[Charlie]

No, no, no, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

But the. Give me the VIN part. Yeah, okay. It's walking. I just. It's. It. The process is set up enough now and the people are so happy with the service and the fact that we'll buy their car from their sight unseen. Don't have to bring it to them. We'll come to their house. And all that website, all those systems are built and flowing and they don't need me for that. Last month, I didn't do much of it at all.

[Michael]

Okay. And that's.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's when you know it's working. Right. All right. John, Good morning.

[Steven]

Hey, good morning, buddy. I'm sorry, I'm in traffic. I was called. I guess you got the information.

And I need you to cue it up. I think we're in there. Somebody. It's called New Year's Day by Charlie Robinson. And we didn't play it the other day. And that is a staple of our life. It's my favorite New Year's song. It's like Alice's Restaurant to me. And so we definitely need to play that when you have it.

[Michael]

Good guy.

[Charlie]

Wonderful man.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what killed him?

[Michael]

Complications from surgery that turned into pneumonia, which weakened him.

When was the surgery?

[Michael]

About three months ago.

[Michael]

Gastric bypass. His. He had to fix it. I don't want to get into details, but long story short, you might be listening. No. Well, he might be, but he does friends and family in Houston as well. So that's all that's. And he got weak and he got behind the power curve and then pneumonia. And it took him 54, 57.
