Overview
Episode 100 of The John Clay Wolfe Show delivers a classic, irreverent Saturday morning mix of cars, sports, off-color comedy, pop culture talk, and unpredictable listener calls. The team deals and banters on everything from selling boats to prostate checks, strip clubs to sports bets, musical nostalgia to celebrity death pools. While buying and bidding cars remains central, the show’s signature is its wild tangents, characters, and “did they actually say that?” moments, all with a healthy kick of “as long as it won’t get us fined by the FCC.”
Key Topics & Segments
1. Opening Banter and Setting the Tone
- [00:12–03:19]
- John kicks off with phone lines open and the familiar “call us at 800-800-RADIO.”
- Playful intros by Bobbo, JD, Michael Turley; jokes abound about old politicians, “kingdoms,” and out-of-sorts moods.
- Quick, irreverent swings at John McCain, Pat Robertson, and politicians:
- Bobbo: “First of all, we found out that our country's run by idiots. And that old man that thinks he's on his lawn yelling at kids, what is wrong with him?” (01:11)
2. Sex, Stereotypes, and Satire
- [03:05–04:47]
- Banter about “who would play a better gay guy” and Sofia Vergara’s hotness on “Modern Family.”
- Extended, offbeat riffing about “are those boobs real?” and ways to tell – played for laughs, oversharing, and awkwardness.
- Frequent references to hanging upside down and comparing “fake” vs. “real” (absurd, and intentionally over-the-top).
3. Buying and Selling Cars On-Air
- [06:20–16:09 and throughout]
- Classic segment: listeners call in to sell their vehicles, ranging from F-150s, FJ Cruisers, to Toyotas and Mini Coopers.
- Wolfe and team rapid-fire through details (mileage, options, condition) and values; on-the-fly offers are made, often with asides and jokes.

- JD: “I want to buy this car before... Can he like, wire us the title through the phone line?” (08:10)

- Good-natured haggling and comic relief.
4. Market Oddities, Listeners, and Colorful Calls
- [10:29–14:12]
- Explaining local subcultures (North Richland Hills’ water park, “supervised visitation day,” and car parking lot sociology).
- Offhand, joking observations about car culture, strip clubs, and neighborhood demographics:
- JD: “There are a lot of strip club workers in Hearst. Were you aware of that, Gene?” (08:42)
- This segues into discussions about buying boats (“If it flies, floats, or goes to the water park on Tuesday, lease it”), spending time alone, and stories about houseguests who are “magnets” for women.
5. Life Without the Family: What Should a Man Do?
- [24:05; returns at intervals]
- JD’s wife and kids have left for five weeks, and the team — plus callers — debate how he should fill his unexpected freedom.
- Suggested activities: make beer (homebrew), go fishing at local lakes, “go to the strip bar,” take up acrylic painting, or go gambling.
- In-house stripper Hannah and others chime in:
- JD: “You can have a private dance and fall in love for 15 minutes for like $150.” (28:43)
- Caller Ruthie: “Take up acrylic painting and make your life something nice. In your case, it would be finger paintings.” (43:24)

For New Listeners
Expect a 3-hour ride: equal parts auto market street smarts, off-color morning radio, and unpredictable comedic dives. The hosts toggle between making real business deals (often ending with “go to GiveMeTheVIN.com”), roasting each other, and indulging in bits that veer from the sly to the jaw-dropping. Bring a thick skin, an appreciation for absurdity, and a willingness to hear where the conversation goes next.
Note: For your sanity, skip if you want straightforward car talk only — but for listeners who love wacky Saturday morning radio with a Texas twang, this episode is peak Wolfe.
