Date: February 13, 2026
Host: John Clay Wolfe
Main Theme:
A classic Saturday-morning mix of outrageous banter, listener call-ins, car buying, comedy segments, irreverent conversations about cars, sports, wild stories, pop culture, radio antics, and a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek social commentary. The vibe is unscripted and raw, with the crew—John, J.D. Ryan, Bobbo, Turley, and others—riffing through car deals, personal anecdotes, audience games, and topical news.
Episode Overview
This episode delivers peak John Clay Wolfe Show energy: free-form humor rides alongside the core business of buying listener cars, sprinkled in with stories about fake legs, rock bands, Rush Limbaugh impressions, debates about airline disasters, and listener games.
