Summary

The John Clay Wolfe Show – Episode #11 (02/06/16 – Hour 2)

Date: February 11, 2026
Host: John Clay Wolfe
Co-hosts: Charlie, Turley
Overview:
This hour of The John Clay Wolfe Show reflects its signature blend of unscripted car talk, guy banter, pop culture, sports, and irreverent discussion. Alongside the usual live appraisal and banter about cars, the show veers into current events (the 2016 presidential race, NFL Hall of Fame), personal stories (death, memory lapses), and unexpectedly deep dives into topics like the used car market and oil prices—all in the show's freewheeling, unfiltered style.

Flow & Tone

The show embodies a blend of irreverence, guy-focused banter, and honest look at both the car business and American life. The hosts constantly poke fun at themselves and their listeners, never take themselves too seriously, and don’t shy away from dark or taboo topics—often with a level of candor rare on commercial radio. The hour delivers a moving target of entertainment, insight, and real talk, loosely connected by John’s gift for live negotiation and unfiltered commentary.

For Listeners:
If you missed this hour, you’ll get car appraisals (sometimes brutal but transparent), satirical political commentary, darkly funny football talk, inside car dealer knowledge, and reminders that life’s absurdities—whether in your wallet, your car, or your memory—are best handled with humor and a little perspective.

800-800-7234 north. Richard Hill's random.

[Charlie]

No kidding.

[Turley]

Very random.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, you know I say we're starting next Saturday.

[Charlie]

Yeah, you said we're starting on some radio station in Dallas next Saturday. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Charlie]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

But didn't know I'm protesting. Why? It never ends with them. Why?

[Charlie]

Okay. I didn't. Who knows? So you want to talk about.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's the clock he sent us.

[Turley]

Figure this out.

[Charlie]

Okay, here's the clock. I've been years and years in radio. I should be able to look at this and tell you what the clock is.

[John Clay Wolf]

The hourly schedule.

[Charlie]

Right? The clock is just like a clock, except it tells you what to do at different parts of the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't even read it out loud.

[Charlie]

No, I won't. Okay. Yeah, you're right. That's pretty. Yeah. It's awkward.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, I think I should poop in it and send it back to him.

[Charlie]

Yeah.

[Turley]

Can you explain something? What's jocks?

[John Clay Wolf]

What's a jocks in jox.

[Charlie]

Jox break.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's.

[Charlie]

That's when you get to talk.

[Turley]

Oh, God.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hold on. Wait.

[Turley]

That's the case. It's even worse.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not the case. That's them having their jocks talk.

[Charlie]

You sure?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

Okay.

[Turley]

Gotta be. Otherwise it's, like, terrible.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was just stupid.

[Charlie]

Just telling you. Everything else says legal ID or song.

[Turley]

That's what I thought.

[Charlie]

And then it says jocks break. Jocks means.

[John Clay Wolf]

It reminds me of this gal at the rodeo that had the stupid hat on. And my buddy Kent looked at my son and said, hey, you know what kind of hat that is? It's like a bad camera. You know what kind of hat that is? No. It's kind of hat you poop in, throw in the trash can because it's so ugly. And that's what that is.

[Charlie]

You can say that jock's break means you. There's no other place in the hour for you.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, there's 40 minutes. There's 20 more minutes.

[Charlie]

The rest of its song.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll figure it out. 8008-0072-3480-0800, 7234.

[Charlie]

Songs are. Go ahead.

[John Clay Wolf]

800, 800 radio.

[Turley]

That's kind of how I read it. But I was like, no, this can't.

[Charlie]

Songs for three to five minutes. Two of those. Let's say eight minutes. That's out of a 15 minute hour. And then you get the next. Whatever's left. You get seven. Seven minutes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we'll figure it out. 808. I'll bet you $50 run legal next Saturday.

[Charlie]

Okay, cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll bet you 5,000 actually. So it'll be fine.

[Charlie]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I. I can tell you when we sit down next week and get with the powers that be of this clock.

[Charlie]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

It'll get straight down very. We've gone too far.

[Charlie]

Well, that's exciting.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is obnoxious. This is an fu. Clock is what that was. That's just.

[Charlie]

It' in the road. Just a bump.

[Turley]

Positive.

[Charlie]

It's a bump in the road. It'll. It'll be all be great. Eagle next week in Dallas.

[Turley]

It's part of the negotiations.

[Charlie]

And I'll be here for the whole show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Glenn Fry d. Anybody cares? 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.

[Charlie]

We have. Before I leave, I want to talk about your rv. I want to talk about your boat. I want to talk about Johnny Manel.

[John Clay Wolf]

Forget the boat. That's not going anywhere non issue. Okay. Rv. We. There's nothing we can talk about that off the air.

[Charlie]

Johnny Mansel.

[John Clay Wolf]

Johnny. I don't want to. I want to talk about. Okay, Johnny Manziel. Yes, his. So I think my meth theory. Anyway, I. This happens this week, you guys. I'm not a boastful person.

[Charlie]

No, not you.

[John Clay Wolf]

But you know someone. Turley. And you gotta admit it. I've been making over the years some pretty hard claims that have worked out to be exactly correct.

[Charlie]

I've gotta admit that no one ever.

[John Clay Wolf]

Says, hey, this guy is on to something.

[Charlie]

Why is that you're a little bit of a Nostradamus.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait, my. I thought you're saying I'm obnoxious.

[Charlie]

No, you see things that I. When you say them the first time I go, John, come on, stop it. And you're right more often than you're not. Well, like 80, 20.

[John Clay Wolf]

I had a little bird in my ear on when I told y' all Johnny Manziel had a drug problem about eight months ago.

[Charlie]

Yeah, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I had a family bird in my ear. So I knew something that was not Nostradamus, but it wasn't meth. If you remember. I told that story. And you said, this is breaking right on ESPN radio said, yes, we're Giving it out. And nobody cared? No. And then. Was it three weeks later?

[Charlie]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

He went to rehab.

[Charlie]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then. I'm telling y', all, this kid's got a meth problem.

[Charlie]

Now, he's turned down rehab twice in the last two weeks.

[John Clay Wolf]

And his dad pleads to him through the paper.

[Charlie]

Through the paper.

[John Clay Wolf]

Through the paper. The Dallas Morning News. If he doesn't get help, he'll be dead before his 24th birthday.

[Charlie]

Now, he does have a restraining order from the girl. Girlfriend. The girlfriend at first said, you know what? I'm not going to pursue this. Now suddenly, she is pursuing it, and there's a restraining order.

[Turley]

Well, he says it didn't happen. You know that, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Of course.

[Turley]

He says he's completely stable.

[Charlie]

Yes.

[Turley]

And he's got great things coming ahead.

[Charlie]

That certainly makes sense.

[Turley]

He says he's also 100 committed to playing football.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, our theory last week that this was all a farce just to get the Browns to release him. We were wrong.

[Charlie]

Yeah. That's gone too far.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is.

[Turley]

Well, we just. We wasn't a theory. It was just a theory that somebody had. It wasn't our theory.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you said it. I bought into it.

[Turley]

I. Just throwing it out there that I heard.

[Charlie]

That's. That could have made sense at that moment. But now it's this.

[Turley]

Cowboys already said they don't want anything to do with.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was before I heard that. The error. The. The police helicopter was following. The Cowboys did say, we don't want anything to do with him.

[Turley]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

When did they say Stephen Jones did? Let's put it that way.

[Turley]

And his son's got a lot more power than most people think. Of course, Jerry has the final say.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[Turley]

That he's got to hit rock. Rock bottom, and rock bottom is when no one wants him. Nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you see the picture of the Johnny Manziel statue at a. M?

[Charlie]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Of the bronze guy sleeping on the couch.

[Charlie]

There's a. There's a sports guy in Dallas named Dale Hansen.

[Turley]

Oh, man.

[Charlie]

Do you see that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Let him have it.

[Charlie]

He's like. He'll be the guy at the end of the bar going, this is who I used to be.

[John Clay Wolf]

Buy me a drink.

[Turley]

It's funny because Dale hates Jerry Jones.

[Charlie]

Oh, yeah.

[Turley]

And so, of course, when he's bashing, you know, Johnny, he of course slides in Jerry Jones and says, well, of course, one guy will take a chance on him, and that's Jerry Jones.

[John Clay Wolf]

800.

[Charlie]

It's gonna happen then.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. The. The father giving the newspaper a hard quote like that. Really woke me up.

[Charlie]

I'm like, wow, that's. That was intended to wake Johnny up, and it's not going to. So are we taking over and under on what the. What the hard rock bottom is going to be? Everybody's different. I know people that have been in accidents, drinking, killed people, got out of prison.

[Turley]

Jail.

[John Clay Wolf]

How far is this going to go?

[Turley]

Jail, Jail. That's when he'll realize it.

[Charlie]

You think jail?

[Turley]

Yes.

[Charlie]

Jail's going to do it a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not.

[Turley]

Not just a little in and out, a year stint like Ryan Leaf, his. This is very similar.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, let's. Let's put up money.

[Charlie]

Yeah.

[Turley]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you're saying the bottom will be a jail. Like a long term or short term. Doesn't matter.

[Turley]

At least a year.

[John Clay Wolf]

Arrest or jail?

[Turley]

Jail.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Turley has 20 on jail.

[Charlie]

12 months.

[John Clay Wolf]

You have 20 on what, man?

[Charlie]

Because he's so healthy, it's not going to be a health issue. That's going to turn him around. This. At this point, unless he has a car wreck. I'll go with car.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll go with car wreck.

[Charlie]

I'll go with an injury car.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll take injury car accident for $20.

[Charlie]

For $20, I think injury, car accident. Whether it's him or someone else's injured.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I'm going to take death by suicide for $20.

[Turley]

Wait, wait, so you're going to say he's going to die?

[Charlie]

Well, we've just covered.

[Turley]

Kill himself.

[Charlie]

We've just covered.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's the rock bottom.

[Charlie]

That is the rock bottom, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Death by suicide.

[Charlie]

After that, no one drinks.

[John Clay Wolf]

So if he dies in a car wreck, then you and I split 10. Okay.

[Turley]

What if he dies in jail?

[John Clay Wolf]

Then you went. You went, oh, if he kills himself in jail, then you and I split 10.

[Turley]

So you're playing that?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm playing like the line on the craft circle where you split your coin. Come.

[Charlie]

There's part of me that hopes he's hearing this right now somewhere and going, kidding. Are they serious?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Turley]

Yes, we are slapping your face right here.

[Charlie]

Yes, we are serious.

[John Clay Wolf]

Death by suicide for $20, Pat.

[Charlie]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. Alex. Alex Trebek, Brian O2 Ranger, extended cab with 120. Is it automatic or stick? Stick.

[Caller]

Automatic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it worth two grand?

[Caller]

I was hoping for a little more.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much more?

[Caller]

I. I really have no idea, but I was hoping for a little more than that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I mean, come on, dude. It's your car. What do you. What do you want for it?

[Caller]

I've seen anywhere up to four.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't care what you've seen. What do you want for? Your name is Brian. You own a Ranger. What will you sell it for?

[Caller]

I'd sell it for four.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, bye. Go run an ad. God, I don't know. No, that was okay. Let me, let me. I don't like what I just did there. I'm gonna backtrack. Brian, first of all, I'm sorry I didn't ask you if it was a four wheel drive. I didn't ask you if it was a V6. I didn't ask you how nice it was. If it is a four wheel drive and it is a V6, I may give four if it is a two door. No, it said it's extended cab four cylinder with 120. I'm probably a $2,500 buyer, depending on how nice it is. And I shouldn't hang up. I was just trying to be cute. I was trying to be cute. Yeah, radioed I was trying to be cute. Please, Apollo, please forgive me.

[Charlie]

Please call back.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, don't call me back because you're. You're O2 Ranger isn't worth the airtime, but you can go. Give me the vin.com. it is worth the bandwidth. Yeah, Give me the vin.com. give. I like people that get my humor.

[Charlie]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Some people get all torqued up and get mad and like the buyer's like, man, this guy's mad at you. And you were rough with him on the air, calling the radio show because it's fun.

[Charlie]

Yeah, it's fun. It's fun. They knew. They get it.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're all grown men. We're all bored. We all hate our lives. This is our escape. This is why you're listening to me.

[Charlie]

Wow, that's deep.

[John Clay Wolf]

So if you get offended, go turn on 103.7. I heard the church people bought it two years ago and go pray with them. We're here to just chill. This is like the football game before the football game. The strip club that we're not allowed to go to. This is fun. And we wind up doing business while we're doing it. We're listening. Led Zeppelin. Some deep cut off of Physical Graffiti. For crying out loud. Don't take it so seriously.

[Charlie]

It's just all about life and being silly. It's a guy talk.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's guy talk.

[Charlie]

I don't want to hit you in the balls. It's just guy talk.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, we spent 30 minutes this morning on if JD's a cl. Closet homosexual.

[Charlie]

Sure did.

[John Clay Wolf]

We did.

[Charlie]

Convince me. I went in the bathroom while I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Looked in the mirror went, okay, so the O2 Ranger. Go to givemetheven.com givemetheven.com and loaded your car up and I will try to buy it. And James, this one's got big miles on it. Extended Cabo 4 with 195. Is it pretty or is it a work truck? James, James, James, James.04 Chevy extended cab with 200. James is worth somewhere between two and three grand or maybe more if it's a four wheel drive. I don't know what you got. They'll call you back. 800-800-723-4. 7234, 800, 800 radio. And you people in Louisiana, I want to talk to you for a minute.

[Charlie]

Here we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, what time you have to leave.

[Charlie]

JD in the next break?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, then we need the memorials. I want to talk to you before you leave about the. I'll. I'll rant on Louisiana in a minute. Okay? I don't need you for that.

[Charlie]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

The political lineup this year. Lord, Charlie, JD And I were talking about the presidential lineup.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it really is. When you really break it down. I mean, it's like a bad comedy card if you really back off and don't get soaked up in it.

[Charlie]

Right. If you can back your. All your feelings and all your Democrat and Republican noise out of it. It's like, it's like somebody called casting and they said, here's what we're doing. We're putting together a movie. It's kind of a drama, but it's kind of a comedy. But what we need is. Let me think. We need, like, we need a crazy old uncle who doesn't really own anything but wants to give everything away. Oh, yeah, we got a guy named. Hold on, what's that guy's name? Bernie. Yeah, Bernie's available. Yeah, the Jew guy. Yeah, he's had. He hadn't done. He hadn't had anything in weeks. We'll send him over.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, we need also, like a Jew guy to give everything away.

[Charlie]

No, but this guy, that's why it's unique, for that's what's good for the show. Get it for the show. You see the juxtapose? You're with me now. Okay, now what else we need? We need a. Okay, we need a politician who looks like a politician, but could be a car dealer. Okay. With hair slicked back. He sort of talks the right thing, but you know, something's wrong with him. You know, something's deeply, deeply dark. That's the character we need. Who. Who do we need? Jimmy. I got it. This guy named Ted. We call him Ted Cruz. That's not his real name, but that's what we call him anyway. He sort of thinks he's Tom Cruise.

[Caller]

Ish.

[Charlie]

Okay, so we went with Ted Cruz. We'll send him over. Who else do we have here? Oh, we need a. We need the crazy. You remember Mr. Burns from the. From the Simpsons. We need a guy just like that. A billionaire crazy man. Except we don't like the bald thing. Let's go with crazy hair. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wow.

[Charlie]

We got a guy for you. We'll send him over. He hasn't worked in years. His name is. Well, his name was Ronald Rump, but we changed it. We went with Donald Trump. Get it? Trump card. So we'll send him over. So this movie is going to be brilliant. Who else?

[Turley]

We need a female lead.

[John Clay Wolf]

What about a female lead?

[Charlie]

Oh, yeah, but we want her. Yeah. Because here's the. Here's the funny part, because normally women are the soft and gentler. We need her to have a dark side to her. There may be some dead bodies in the closet that. Oh, we got. We got this one called Hillary. Yep. She's perfect for you.

[Turley]

She possibly could be a dominatrix. You don't know.

[Charlie]

I'm missing this. Is this a comedy or is this a drama? We don't know yet.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is. It is.

[Charlie]

It is. And that is exactly what is so crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

And so Ted Cruz is. Is what you said more than any other Ted Cruz calling up cash to say, I need a cheesy. Cheesy, weird, bad couple politician for.

[Charlie]

But we don't know what's wrong with him.

[John Clay Wolf]

He.

[Charlie]

He says the right things, but there's something deeply wrong with him. That's Ted Cruz.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Turley]

He scares me more than anybody else.

[John Clay Wolf]

He scares me more than what? Trump scares me plenty. Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is a lawyer and a preacher.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, that's it.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

You nailed it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

You nailed it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he's got that delivery in that.

[Charlie]

You know, everything is. Everything's been rehearsed. Every single moment has been rehearsed in his mind. And it all comes out that way. You and I see through it. I don't know that the voters will. I mean, maybe they will. Everybody. I hear that talking heads say he'll. He'll fade and that Rubio will. Will come in.

[Turley]

Rubio is the most polished.

[John Clay Wolf]

Rubio is the polished. But, you know, we've seen that from day one. Rubio is by far the Most polished.

[Turley]

But he's.

[Charlie]

And he's, he's kind.

[Turley]

He seems like he can be bought, which. That's what you need.

[John Clay Wolf]

So that's what you need. Well, he's from Miami. He's a cocaine dealer, Man.

[Charlie]

Did you see Hillary and, And crazy Bernie go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not even face to face.

[Charlie]

I just saw the clip where she goes, have you got something to say about me? You've been telling everybody behind my back that I, That I take bribes or more. More or less. You're saying that. Say it. Really? Yes.

[Turley]

He said, oy vey.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's how we do it.

[Charlie]

Because that's, that's politics. That's what happens.

[John Clay Wolf]

And did he say it? So what did he say?

[Charlie]

He just said, basically politics. He goes, let me ask you this. The pharmaceutical companies, when they do all these crazy things and they, and they double, triple cost, is that policy? Do you think politicians are getting paid off? Well, yes. Well, how about. What was the other one?

[John Clay Wolf]

She said yes?

[Turley]

Well, she didn't say yes, but she didn't have a rebuttal.

[Charlie]

You could just tell. She was like, oh, crap, he really is saying something. And he basically said, hey, politicians take money in the pocket.

[John Clay Wolf]

Turn it up a little bit early. This is a good time.

[Charlie]

That's what they do. And it was a really awkward and. Because they really stayed away from banging on each other. And that was a moment of, ooh, this is painful.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is Sanders rich? No.

[Turley]

Bernie Sanders.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Charlie]

He's got no money.

[John Clay Wolf]

He looks like the doc in Back to the Future.

[Charlie]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Meets Larry David.

[Charlie]

Christopher.

[Turley]

He's the guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Larry David does a better Bernie Sanders than Bernie Sanders.

[Turley]

Larry David's perfect with it.

[Charlie]

That's great.

[Turley]

Larry David's career has been revived because of Bernie Sanders. No, he takes a bus and a train. I mean, he's that guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, he's a, He's a normal. You don't think he's worth a million bucks or.

[Turley]

I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

So he's not a rich guy. No, no, no.

[Charlie]

Everybody's saying, here's a guy who wants to give away everybody's everything. But he didn't own anything. No, he's that uncle. That's why I said he's the crazy uncle that wants to, you know, the. You sort of heavier.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's. He's at Joe Biden time. He's Joe Biden squared or cubed.

[Turley]

Yeah, Joe was a little. He has a big salesmanship and stuff. Bernie just doesn't care. It's kind of. It's very similar in the, in the sense that he's surprised at where he's at right now. Yeah, I really think so. He just wants to get. But he truly, deeply believes out there now. Everything else, well, he's got to figure it out. He doesn't know about a lot about foreign policy and there's.

[Charlie]

And I keep thinking Trump is going to go psych your mind. I had no intention of being president. I just want to see how far you idiots would take this. That's what I fully expect him to do that at any time.

[Turley]

He's still playing with house money.

[Charlie]

He's still. Yeah, he's playing with house money.

[Show Announcer]

Charlie.

[John Clay Wolf]

08 Mercedes 320. 320. Okay with 77. Charlie. That 08 silver bins I had the other day was 75. Do you remember that car? It took me a little while to get rid of it. Was it a three Series three. Charlie, you there?

[Charlie]

Charlie?

[Caller]

Yes, I'm here.

[John Clay Wolf]

How nice is this one about.

[Caller]

I'd say about nine and a half.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so it's a real rig.

[Caller]

It's a top notch. It has the screens. It's got the big tires.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, is it a. So it's a sport package. Does it say AMG on the wheel anywhere?

[Caller]

No, no, it's not one of those.

[John Clay Wolf]

When you say big tire, I mean. Okay, it's an E350, not 20. Is it decent?

[Caller]

No, it's not. It's. No, it's a. It's an suv. It's a gl.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Oy vey. So it's a four, not a five, right? I mean a three. Wait, which model number?

[Caller]

20. I think it's a 320. It's a diesel.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, now I know what you got. All I saw was 08 Ben's 320.77k. Okay, now I know what you got. What color is it?

[Caller]

White.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. It's a diesel. Cecil, it's a 15. Grander is the. What? I had that last one, that white one last week. Carmax headed at 14. I gave 15, but it had 87,000 miles. This one's got 77. Same car. What we. Is that. Does that work for yours? 15.

[Caller]

You're asking me 15?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm asking you. If I give you 15, does that work?

[Caller]

Not probably not. I was looking for more like 20.

[John Clay Wolf]

He just wants me to yell at him. He just wants me to yell at him. I'm not gonna yell at you.

[Charlie]

Playing the game.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can't.

[Turley]

You don't tell him to go to give me the vin.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

You want 20? I'm hitting this thing hard, dude. Actually, when I pulled up my system a minute ago, it is a.09. I forgot. Is this a 08 or 09? Oh, wait, I think I'm all. So when you. Did you expect me to give 20? What did you expect me to give you when I called in?

[Charlie]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

When you called me?

[Caller]

Probably 15.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so you. I met your expectations.

[Caller]

There's something you want.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I hear you. Are you a car dealer?

[Caller]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, so if it's worth 15. You expected me be wholesale? 15.

[Caller]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why won't you sell it to me for 15?

[Charlie]

He's negotiating.

[Caller]

Because it sounds like you want it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, now, you know what, Charlie? You're right. What do you do for a living? He's in sales of some sort.

[Caller]

I'm an analyst.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I like Charlie. What do you analyze? Oil and gas. Good. Okay, screw the car. So what are we doing here? Do I need to buy futures the farthest out I can right now by contracts, Options?

[Caller]

Well, I'm looking to replace the vehicle.

[Turley]

So does that tell you a lot?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I hear you. Okay. But I've been thinking hard about this. Do I need. You're an analyst. Do I need to go out as far as I can? I haven't priced the options, but do I need to buy future oil and gas? Yeah. Do I need to. By put. Is it puts or what's the what. What's the one if it goes up? Charlie, if I buy oil, future options. Is it. Do I need to buy puts? Right. If I. If I'm expecting it to go up, yes. Okay. Do I need to buy oil?

[Caller]

It's gonna go up, I promise.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I need to buy oil puts right now. Because the options that you get the leverage off of it, sure. You can put up five grand and have a lot of leverage. All right, so, Charlie, you're saying we have. We already touched the bottom at 27 or wherever it was. Is that over?

[Caller]

Yeah, that's over.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. All right, I'll give you 16. Hey, why don't we tie? Well, let's have fun.

[Charlie]

Okay, here we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Charlie, do you like having fun? Charlie, stop it.

[Caller]

Always.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's. Let's tie the. Your car purchase into a mutual investment. You and me. Let's. Let's invest. I'll give you 15 grand for the car, and I will buy us $5,000 worth of puts. And I'll. I'll really do this. I'm not just talking. And what. And we'll ride the extra five grand together and we'll split them 50. 50. Except out front, the money. And if we win, you get half. Great.

[Caller]

Sounds great.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you down or you just. Are you not?

[Caller]

I don't know yet. I gotta think about that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Think about it.

[Caller]

I gotta think about the 15. I gotta think about 15.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so what I'm offering you is 15,000 for the car and the title. And a written agreement between you and I that I'm gonna take 5,000 and buy puts on oil. How far out do they go? 18 months. I hadn't priced them. Say they're 12 months. We'll buy 12 month options and we'll split those 5050 and we'll cash them whenever you say. We'll strike them whenever you say go.

[Caller]

We'll see. We'll have to think about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a fair offer though, isn't it?

[Turley]

You can make a lot of money. Pretty fair.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, think about that. Go to givemetheven.com. load the car up. Let's start with that. 8008-0072-3480-0800, 7234. 800, 800 radio. See, we do all kinds of deals here. Here. We'll be right back, Sam.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hat tip to earth, wind and fires. Maurice, who passed away Maurice? Everybody's dying, dude. All the good music guys are dying.

[Turley]

Rock and roll is dead. Well, this is kind of more of a boogie.

[John Clay Wolf]

But this is awesome is what this is boogie. The boogie woogie. 8008-0072-3480-0800-7234. 800800 radio is a call, a number or give me the vin.com market's been a little screwy. As you can see. I'm trying to hedge my bed on a Mercedes with a oil. I'm just. I'm wanting to give more, but I need a hedge to do it. So I'm asking the analyst to hedge with me. I haven't. I haven't bought options in years.

[Turley]

Oh, you've bought before?

[John Clay Wolf]

Dude, it was a long time ago. I started I in 99. I was up 50 grand in about 90 days. And then I was down 50 grand. I lost all my winnings in about three weeks. And I was like, wow, I'm glad that I don't do this for a living. That would be disappointing. It's been that long. But I think oil puts I want to make sure I'm saying that right. But yeah, oil is going to go up t boom Pickens said so. Must be true. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Obama is threatening a ten dollar per tax per barrel oil tax. That would change things.

[Turley]

Yeah, it's the point of it is. I mean obviously that might be great for the country because all that money would go to infrastructures. You know, get an endless list of things that need work.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you were going to pull that off, now is the time to do it. Yeah, the oil business. Who am I to say somebody makes too much money but my God, when they're up, I mean it just gets ridiculous.

[Turley]

Yes, ridiculous to build cities.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean it really. Look at Houston. Look around you. Let me just do a 360 real quick. That is the city that oil built. It is Saudi Arabia of North America. It's Houston, Texas.

[Turley]

Look at Dubai, how crazy that is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just Houston, Texas is Saudi Arabia, North America. It is the oil capital of this hemisphere. Oh gosh. I mean some junk on the air. Owen burb with a buck 32. It's not junk. It's just. It's just right there. This is right there. You got to put them on hold so I can get them. 800 to 800 7234. 800, 800 radio Corvettes. I buy Corvettes. I like Corvettes too, Ken. Owen burb. Is it cloth or leather?

[Caller]

It's cloth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it four wheel drive or two?

[Caller]

Two wheel drive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Average. Rough or clean?

[Caller]

The inside is immaculate. The outside, you know, got some things in it.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you think? I'll spend getting it.

[Caller]

Great.

[John Clay Wolf]

Getting it prettied up.

[Caller]

The outside of the body. Probably maybe 1200 bucks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so it's got some real scratches on it.

[Caller]

Yeah, it's got some. Got a couple of the ends. My wife likes backing into stuff. Whatever.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, at least she's driving the old one and not the new one. Doing that.

[Caller]

Yeah, I'm driving it right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it need a bumper and a tailgate or. I mean like. Tell me.

[Caller]

No, no, no, it has, it has, it has everything on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. I mean the damage. Is the bumper damaged? Do we need to replace it?

[Caller]

No, bumper's not damaged. Rear is not damaged.

[John Clay Wolf]

So where'd she hit? A tree? Side rub?

[Caller]

Yeah, she hit it on the side and then when we we got the car, it had been hit by somebody else on one side as well.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, how long ago did you buy it?

[Caller]

I don't know. Somebody Grazed it.

[John Clay Wolf]

How long ago did you buy it?

[Caller]

I'm sorry, five years ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, I'm thinking. So did you have an estimate of 1200? Because that's a lot.

[Caller]

No, I didn't have an estimate by anybody. I'm just guessing.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm guessing I can fix it for half of what you're thinking. Hopefully, but I won't know until I see the photos. So I want you to go to givemetheven.com, load the VIN number and the pictures and say, John hit me at two grand on the air, but I need to. He wanted to look so that. In that. That's what I'm saying. I'm thinking 2 grand if I can get it fixed for. For 5, $800 after shipping. Are you in Houston or North Texas?

[Caller]

Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

So 200 shipping up here. I'll be in it for three grand and that's okay after I'm finished with it. And I can make that work if it's a good car. The cluster's not screwed up. The instrument cluster is real bad on those going out. The tachometer and all works fine.

[Caller]

Everything's working okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does two grand. Does two grand work for you? If we. If we can do that?

[Caller]

Possibly, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Go to givemetheven.com, load it up. We'll get working on it.

[Caller]

Sounds great. Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. It is time for the car review of the week. Yeah, sure. Dude, did you drive this from Charlie? For a little bit. All right, now.

[Show Announcer]

Now it's time for the ride of the week.

[John Clay Wolf]

General Motors is kind enough to be supplying us with cars every week to go through their new lineups. 16 Equinox all wheel drive, LTZ. They typically. Those, they're called press cars. They give us and they normally give us the most hard loaded cars that they make in a model because it's the nicest one. It's amazing what a midsize SUV cost. And they're all this much. The damn kias are this much. 36, 2 is sticker. What can you buy it for? I don't know. I haven't worked a deal at a dealership. I haven't looked at rebates. I don't know what the current thing is, but I can tell you that I have a feeling that 0% is close. Yes, I think it's coming. I need to talk about that a little bit. The whole concept of where we are in the car business. The equinox great rig looks a lot like it's a baby traverse. It's a baby Acadia. At first glance it's hard to tell which one you're looking at. I like them. You like them.

[Turley]

They're a little bit bigger than they used to be.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're a little bit bigger than they.

[Turley]

Used to be a small suv. Now it's a mid size which is roomy. It's like you know compared to others explore and stuff like that. I mean it's got a lot of.

[John Clay Wolf]

Room in know it you this car's got all the bells and whistles on the LTZ model. Leather roof nav all the goodies. You know I could go through the window sticker with you but there's no reason to.

[Turley]

I love how GM syncs your phone up right away too. You can have Pandora and everything. It's real, real simple.

[John Clay Wolf]

I love the technology with the phones and the interaction of the cars. I think it's awesome. That's why I love my truck. 23 miles a gallon. It comes with I think the warranties is 3 year 36 bumper to bumper 5 year to 60 drivetrain and that's good. So if you have a big failure, you know anything mechanical, the real expensive stuff you're covered up to 60 years. 5 60,000 miles. 5 years 2016 Equinox All Wheel Drive LTZ Something to go look at. I like them if your wife in it. If you don't need a traverse. If you don't need remember car seats. You know if you've got car seats you might need to check it out because these mid size SUV's they don't all fit them that well.

[Turley]

This would but I mean you have four kids so well there's no way.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I'm like the Waltons.

[Turley]

Yeah, you need some a lot bigger but if you just got a couple it's perfect.

[John Clay Wolf]

98 Lexus. 98 Lexus with 87. Which one have you got there Greg? The GS 387,000 miles on a 98.

[Turley]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you want? What do you want for this car?

[Caller]

I would want to see a value. I would thinking about trading it in or selling it to upgrade this newer one. I just wanted to see what the what the value of it is or what I could get for it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Old body style slows things down even though you have a great miles and I'm assuming it's a really nice car. It is wholesale trade in what you're going to see is two grand.

[Caller]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because of the body style. That's the only reason that is no reflection of the miles because that's the.

[Turley]

Old Camry body style.

[John Clay Wolf]

Average MMR on this car, which is market value in the wholesale business. Let me see what average MMR is 1675 clean. Above average is 2000. So you might be able to get someone to stretch to a quarter. I'd be a $2,000 buyer based on not having to spend any money on it. And but that's what I think.

[Caller]

If I asked, if I traded in, what if I try to sell it into an individual, what would it be worth?

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, the average. Prof. The average profit on a retail deal. And that's what you're saying, retail the car is about twelve hundred dollars in the United States. So to figure you can get 1200 more than wholesale for it.

[Caller]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Turley]

Just saying they have 8.5 vehicles.

[John Clay Wolf]

Million.

[Turley]

Yeah. Million hits have been affected by it too. But 2.2 already just regret.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's the problem. The parts won't be ready till next summer. So I talked to a Honda dealer. Out of the 300 cars he had in stock, 10 of them were affected on the new cars. So 10% of his inventory in Acura dealer was less than that. Ironically he said really? The old body, last year's TLs is what has it more than anything. But you can go to a website if you just Google airbag recalls Honda and put your VIN number in there and it will tell you immediately if your car is on the change out list.

[Turley]

It's a long list. There's looking at it right here A.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lot, a lot of units yeah, it's not all of them, though. No.

[Turley]

Acura RLS, Honda CRVs, Acura RDX, Ridgelines, Honda Fit, Acura TL, Honda FCX. I don't even know what that is. On the Insight. Acura zdx.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nobody wants an Insight.

[Turley]

Now these. Honda crz, There wasn't many of those sold. And then the Acura ILX. Yeah, now that's. But this has affected 14 car makers, 28 million vehicles.

[John Clay Wolf]

Takata airbags. They've got to file bankruptcy, don't you think? Like yesterday. Sure. We're talking about long and oil. We need a short Takata. Unless they're even publicly traded anymore, I mean, they're done. I mean, how do you overcome this?

[Turley]

You can't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Volkswagen. I mean, I see how Volkswagen is going to whittle out of it, but just an airbag manufacturer. The. I just don't say they're gonna get out of it.

[Turley]

They must build something.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's no parts, dude. They can't get the parts to fix them until May to June is what I was told.

[Turley]

What? Okay. Car dealers hate the most.

[John Clay Wolf]

Inventory.

[Turley]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

New inventory. That's parked. So Honda's gonna have to pay floor plan assistance on those cars to hold them. Rent spot spots. I mean, car dealerships, they're not a limitless place of parking. They're gonna have to take all these cars and park them in the back, stockpile and wait for the parts. It's gonna cost, and they're gonna want it. Subrogation from Takata on everything. I mean, subrogation meaning the money back. So it's got to break them. Maybe not. I'm just talking out my mouth, but I don't even. I never heard the word Takata before this came up.

[Turley]

Yeah, Mustangs was the first time we heard it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mustangs. And Mustangs. It dropped the value. $3,000 a unit.

[Turley]

I remember it hit because you had a couple, and it was like, why aren't they selling? What the hell's going on?

[John Clay Wolf]

We can't sell them. They won't sell. Nobody wants them. Everybody's scared to sell them. Just like Volkswagen TDI's. We did bid a. Like an Audi that I gave 52,000 for about six months ago with a diesel in it. And I struggled with that car, if you remember that one, that white audi before the TDI announcement. And then I hit the same car at 40 12,000 back with the TDI problems it has now. Everybody's calling us to give me the VINT on their Volkswagens. They just want to offer Letters so that they can use it to sue Volkswagen. Good. So we've. I mean, it is Jerry. Good morning. Speaking of Japanese cars, He has a 4Runner 2014 with 34,000 miles. Is it a 4 wheel drive or 2J.

[Caller]

It's 2 wheel drive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Which trim level?

[Caller]

This would be the SR5 Premium.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And what color?

[Caller]

Black.

[John Clay Wolf]

Leather. Cloth. Leather Sunroof. Yes or no?

[Caller]

Yeah. It came with, I guess it was a technology package that they had. It was a moonroof running board.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So it's a hard loaded little devil. Third row seat. Yes or no? Third row seat. Most of them don't.

[Caller]

Yes, yes, it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, that's good. We're pushing warranty on this thing. 28. 5.

[Caller]

Okay, well, let me ask you this. Does it make a difference if I have the Toyota extended warranty on this?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, but you can go cash that back in. So you can call the company, whoever you bought it from, and say, I sold the car and I want my money back and they have to give it to you. That's part of the insurance rules. A lot of people don't know that when you sell a car with extended warranty, you can get your credit back. Yes. If you've used 20% of it, you'll get 80% of it back. If you use none of it, I think you get 100% of it back.

[Turley]

Is that with any dealership?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. Interesting. And nobody claims it? Nobody. Nobody. I mean, I'd say 5% of the people know about it and go get their money back.

[Turley]

They just kind of like, oh, well, it goes with the car, whatever, but it doesn't. Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So here's the deal. I mean, I buy for, you know, one of my good customers is Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett's company. And when I buy this car for them, they're not going to give me more money with the extended warranty. They just don't. They just don't care. It's weird because they want to sell another one. That's how they make money. They don't make any money buying, selling cars. They really don't. I tell you that. The front end gross, you know, I said the average profit on a used car in the United states is about $1,200 from purchase price to sold price. The front end gross, which is the profit between what they paid for it at the auction in many cases and what they sold the car to the end user for, has gone down to about $800.

[Turley]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

They make their money on warranty. They make their Money on financing. They make their money on mop and glop, which is like shine package and rust proofing. The guy that you see, the guy that you see after you get the car salesman passes you off to the F and I guy. And that guy is the one who produces more income for the dealership than the car salesman. That's how it works. But yes, 28.5 is what I believe it is worth. And I'll pay that. I think that's kind of high. Hang on a second.

[Turley]

Wait, hold on.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm all over it. I'll give it.

[Turley]

Take it. You better take it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, hang on just a second. Let me look at the dates on this deal because see, we had that other one bring back of MMR the other day. Golly, man. Have you had any offers yet?

[Caller]

Not yet, but I'm driving around trying to get some.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you want to buy?

[Caller]

Well, originally I bought this for. Because my wife wanted it and we had one kid and we have a second one now. And it's kind of hard with getting the two car seats in there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Caller]

So I don't know yet. We might get go with a bigger suv. She's leaning on a minivan, so I'm kind of.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Are you. What city are you in?

[Caller]

I'm in parallel.

[John Clay Wolf]

Parallel and Paralympic. What brand of car do you think you want?

[Caller]

I'm looking, I'm hoping, and I'm going as far as the gmc. I've been looking at the Yukon lately.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go see Classic in Sugarland. Tell them I sent you and they'll give you a good price if you. If you want a Chevy gmc. I don't have a GMC dealer in Houston. I've got a buddy up at Robin's Nissan and I think it's an Humble.

[Turley]

Those Nissan Quests are nice.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I mean, if you want a van, put me down. I hate to be waffling on you, but put me down for 28 large, not 28 five. I think I overbid you a little bit because I'm not considering the miles are at 34.

[Caller]

So. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, you didn't agree to sell it to me anyway. It doesn't sound like I'm gonna get the car. It's just you're gonna trade it in somewhere, so I'll give 28. Do you wanna sell it?

[Caller]

I'm interested.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, hang in there. Go to givemetheven.com, push the information. I think the dealership's gonna hit you 26 and a half, maybe 27. And we can negotiate it in and out for you where we get the car through the dealership and you still get your tax credit. It.

[Caller]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, bye. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Hall of Fame, NFL tonight, Super bowl tomorrow. Who goes in the hall of Fame tonight? Turl?

[Turley]

Brett Favre for sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Favrey?

[Turley]

Yeah, Favre.

[John Clay Wolf]

Terrell Owens. Okay.

[Turley]

Do they hold back?

[John Clay Wolf]

What if.

[Turley]

What he's done with the media, I don't know. I mean, but his numbers are there.

[John Clay Wolf]

For sure, so I'm gonna say no.

[Turley]

You think? No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Turley]

What about Morton Anderson, first kicker and Yes. I mean, he made a difference.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's Danish. My kids. My kids are half Danish, so I'll just say yes.

[Turley]

I. No kickers ever made it. But if there's one no kickers ever made now, he would be the first to do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not fair. Well, they're a crucial part of the game.

[Turley]

They are now.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he was.

[Turley]

He was the start of it being crucial. Before that, it was like 20 yard, 30 yard kicks. It wasn't much, but he would kick it from 50. He made a difference for you.

[John Clay Wolf]

So who did he work for most of his career?

[Turley]

Saints.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Turley]

Yeah, he was n Saints. And then, you know, there's a couple of guys that maybe Orlando Pace, they always put a lineman in there. So that's about it all, I would think.

[John Clay Wolf]

Make it okay. Who wins the football game tomorrow? Well, I don't know.

[Turley]

We have to find out next. John, we have a big bet going here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. We'll be right back. For 50 years they've been married, but they can't wait for the 51st to roll around. Yeah, roll around of 30 years they've been married. And now they're old and happy and they settle down.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh. Oh.

[Turley]

Is there nothing worse when you got a big point?

[John Clay Wolf]

You put the crickets in there. Because that was a real bit. That was a real clip. But the crickets you added.

[Turley]

Yeah, because there was a long pause.

[John Clay Wolf]

Please clap. God almighty. Who would have thought that Jeb would be stalling out that he's done? Why?

[Turley]

He's just wanting.

[John Clay Wolf]

His mama showed up to help him in New Hampshire. I mean, Roma Kennedy, damn it. I mean, a bush. I mean, it's something. It's.

[Turley]

It's so bad that G Dub doesn't want to even show up.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think that he's ruining the run for his son because I think his son, who's half hispanic, his mama is a full blown Mexican. He has some serious leg, but it's.

[Turley]

Probably not for eight years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jeb is wrecking it out.

[Turley]

I mean, it was.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, who would have sunk? Dude, he got 2% in. He had 2% of the vote in Iowa. Two. Two. What, what, what? What's wrong with Joe Bush? How did he. How did he become the governor of Florida for so long? I don't know. He's out. Well, it's a tough racket, man. They're hard on each other. Very hard on each other. S found in cars. We have that on our Facebook page. John Clay Wolf show. You can add us as a friend on Facebook. Oh, man, I didn't want to open. I didn't want to kill that song. That song's so good. Now live from Burbank studio, it's time for the they left behind where we discover and investigate the stuff left behind in all the cars bought this week by the staff of the real Deal. And now here's your host, a real expert, expert in leaving behind, John Clay wolf. Speaking of, I'm leaving more stuff behind lately than normal. I've always been bad about it, but this is. I found new highs lately. I mean, like the rodeo tickets last night. I mean, how stupid was that we were talking about? It's right here in front of me and I leave them. I think I'm just stressed out lately. I really.

[Turley]

Too much on your mind?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, just too much on my mind. It's not good. I don't think it's age. I was talking to my wife about last night. Something's up with me.

[Turley]

You're making sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Give me somewhere. I mean, what's up?

[Turley]

You're like, I'm not getting old, am I?

[John Clay Wolf]

Dude, I was coming in for a landing last week and I hadn't flown my plane in six weeks because it's been the shop getting annual, which is a long annual, by the way. But I mean, I was like, why is my. And I was way out, but it's just stupid. I was like, why is my air speed so high? This isn't right. Oh, yeah, I forgot to put my gear down. Oh, no. I mean, this happened before. I mean, you're just talking to yourself, you know, I mean, when you're. I mean, the whole time you're flying, you're going through your checklist, you're doing this you're doing that. But it's just that. And I've noticed when I haven't flown in a while that I'm rustier. May I fly about every two weeks. So. So it, it's normal, you know, it's still on the top of mind. It's automatic. I've been doing it for years. But that, that I need to. I need to slow my brain down if I'm going to be an effective pilot or I gotta get someone else to fly because I, that, that, that bothered me. If I'm forgetting stuff left and right, that's not good thinking. Way too much thinking. Too much. Yeah. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio as found in cars this week. So what was it? Champagne. Lots of it.

[Turley]

So it was.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's. I'll read it off on Facebook and.

[Turley]

Yeah. Where's your Facebook page at?

[John Clay Wolf]

JOHN Clay Wolf show. JOHN CLAY Wolf show. All right, so we found some hooch in one of the cars that we bought this week.

[Turley]

There's a box full of hooch.

[John Clay Wolf]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Six bottles of champagne and one bottle of what?

[Turley]

UV Sangria. Sangria. UV. I don't know what it was.

[John Clay Wolf]

It just.

[Turley]

I've never seen it. It's a girly drink.

[John Clay Wolf]

A Clorox Wipes.

[Turley]

Yeah, you never know if you need that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Did it come out of a 06 Land Rover LR3, an 08 F250, a 97 Spartan motorhome or 07 Chevy Silverado extending cab?

[Turley]

All right, what's the Facebook page saying?

[John Clay Wolf]

John Clay Wolf? The candidates, the. The caucusers are saying Rover, rv, Silverado, Ford truck. Ford truck. Rover. Rover. Rover. So Rover is what everybody thinks. Because rovers expensive, I guess is the thinking. And.

[Turley]

Look at the bottles, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

I am looking at the bottles in barefoot. What's barefoot mean?

[Turley]

It's like the cheapest.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, is it?

[Turley]

Of cheapest wines and it's like champagne. Okay, it's not. It's not. It's not that. Cristal. They're not bottled.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll tell you what. I'm going to skip all the trucks in the river and go with the RV just because I don't think you could effectively hold all this liquor in an automobile without it bothering you to the point that you would forget it. That's the only reason I'm saying that. Good theory. Good theory. Is that what happened?

[Turley]

That's a solid theory. And yes, that's what happened. John. Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Turley]

That 97 Spartan motorhome we bought it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Off a listener last week we drove it up here. Uncle Roy said it was scary to drive. He says all over the road.

[Turley]

Yeah, it needs a little bit alignment type thing, you know, just maintenance because it's been sitting for so long.

[Caller]

Wobble box.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a 38 foot diesel pusher. If you want to buy one, go to the website.

[Turley]

Really nice inside. Just needs refrigerator really. That's it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll sell it cheap. We bought it cheap, we'll sell it cheap. No care. It's got 30,000 miles on. It's a 38 foot. Does any slides? Do they work?

[Turley]

No, there's no slides in it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really? I don't think. No, don't think. Do you know what slides are? Yes. Okay.

[Turley]

Yeah. No, I don't think there's slides in it. It looks like a bus. Basically.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I mean it's 38 foot bus. It's a diesel pusher. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800800 radio. So we've bought boats on this show. We've bought airplanes. We bought construction equipment. We've bought a lot of cars, a lot of trucks.

[Turley]

Four wheelers, motorcycle.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean the most expensive car we have bought from a listener is $80,000. We have not busted the hundred grand mark. And I'd be glad to. If you've got anything that's a hunsky or more some Ferrari all over it like a cheap suit. We did buy 97 Cobra this week. And we're working on an O3 Cobra convertible this week. But that 97 Cobra, that was the.

[Turley]

Body style I think.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you seen it yet?

[Turley]

No. It's supposed to be here today. At some point.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's Dallas. I don't know. I don't know if that car is gonna earn or not.

[Turley]

What, what's the color? Is it that paint? You remember when the 97s, that was the year when they had that tri color paint job, you know. You know what I'm talking about. Where it would kind of. It looks black but then at certain points kind of has that purple tint and then it's blue.

[John Clay Wolf]

I remember that in Camaros. Was that Mustangs also?

[Turley]

Yeah, it was a Mustang. It was a big and Mustang. I wonder if that one. It was cobras especially.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's what I do know. You classic car collectors and heavy, heavy car dealers. 10, 20% drop. Barrett Jackson last week. Really Frank earth, he sent 15 out there. He sent a million dollars for the cars and he lost a hundred grand. Oh dang. Their absolute sale.

[Turley]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

He had a $250,000 Corvette that. That sold for like. And that's what ate most of his world up. I think it sold for a buck 80. He had like 240 in it. But yeah. Barrett Jackson, the classic car market. It'd be like going to an art auction. The money's down. And all the estimates. Because all these people set their estimates and these professional companies and they sell their estimates. They were all messed up them bad. Mecham had their auction in Dallas two months ago, three months ago, and it was a disaster. It's the worst auction, classic car auction Meekin's ever had. So you guys that are calling us on these muscle cars, hey, I know it's worth 25 grand. No, it's not. It's just not. I'm sorry. It's not me. It's the market. It's worth 15. Hey, this thing's got to be worth 15. No, it's not. It's worth 10. The classic cars are down. Not a little bit.

[Turley]

Sometimes you want to take that first offer, too, and not try.

[John Clay Wolf]

The more expensive, the more expensive. Expensive. The worst.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

The $150,000 challengers. They're 110. They're coming down. Oil business. Thank the oil business. Thank the economy. It's happening. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. If anybody has a dodge diesel truck they want to sell, I like those a lot. Dodge diesels, four wheel drive, especially big miles. No sweat. Did that 06 show up yet? Needs a door. Came from Shreveport.

[Turley]

I'm not seeing it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I don't know if it needs a full door or just a door skin. Or just. I hope it's just a door. Truth be known, you know, the typical way I do things, I didn't see the other side of it, but a guy walked up to me, said that was the buy of the day. I was like, yeah, I thought it was a good deal, too. He said, all it needs is a door. And he was being sincere. All I gotta do is fix the door on. I'm like, okay, well, it was like that equinox yesterday, you know, or that Ford edge. Oh, this thing. Blah, blah, blah. Does it still make money? Yeah. Okay, here. Do we need to. Can our guys fix the door on it in the parking lot?

[Turley]

Yeah, they. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, good.

[Turley]

They're doing it.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's fine. I've got no problem fixing cars. We've got plenty of people to fix cars. I don't like, you know, under a grand. When you start getting over A grand on body shop bills. It slows things down.

[Turley]

And then the chances of you bought it that far back.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've been in this business for 20 years, and in my career, I have never. There's been one particular unit that has always driven through highs, lows, crashes, you know, on market, always beat the book, always been a winner. They never let you down. And it is the Jeep Wrangler. And for the first time in my career, for the past 60 days, Wranglers aren't working, and I don't know why.

[Turley]

It is crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is crazy. I asked a buddy of mine in Beaumont, Mark, give him a little Classic Beaumont. I said, chritchy, are you having problems with Wranglers? Just ask me. He said, yeah, I've got six of them getting old on me. I said, what the hell is up? He said, I don't know. Everybody. Wranglers are not selling. I mean, they're not overselling.

[Turley]

They've always oversold, but, yeah, they're not. Yeah, they're not.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're not overselling. You know, the one that you think's worth 15 and brings 18, it's just. It's. It's something. We've seen all. We had that damn Wrangler that sold for 13 grand, the O2, the other day.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, that's high. That was six months ago. No, it's not doing it now. Speaking of, I noticed we bought the wheels and tires for the other one.

[Turley]

Yeah, it's a lot better.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it looks a lot better. I don't think they're big enough. I mean, what'd you give, 1200?

[Turley]

Yeah. No, 1100. Where'd you get 32s from, a Texas pull off?

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Turley]

I mean, it's.

[John Clay Wolf]

It looks a lot better. Yeah.

[Turley]

I mean, you'd have to go with a whole, I don't know, like 36s or so.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, I think we should have gone bigger. It's like. It's like a gal getting her boob job. I think I should have gone bigger. Bigger's better in lift kits.

[Turley]

Thing is not big enough.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, bigger is better. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. I was in lift kits and stuff in the late 80s, and, you know, and then it chilled out, and now it's back bigger than it ever was. I mean, lifted trucks, Jeeps, SUVs. I mean, it's. They're all over it. Lift, lift, lift, lift, lift. I love them. They look good. If you have a lifted truck you want to sell, call me. I'LL buy it. Go to givemetheven.com if it's lifted, let me know because you know, that adds 3,000 in many cases.

[Turley]

Hard is it to take the lift off?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's not worth it. It's very hard. Yeah. It's a big job to put the correct lift on a truck. It's a big labor job. I'd rather. I think pulling an engine out and putting it back in is easier. Damn. Yeah, it's, it's it. I bet it takes me, man, hours to yank to R and R an engine than it does to put a new lift on the new suspensions s found in cars. We got that super bowl party. Mark Cuban.

[Turley]

Yes. Did you hear about this?

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Turley]

So Cuban sent out some invites and TMZ sports got a hold of it. One of the invites and for his super bowl party, if you got this invite, his band that he's going to have performing at his super bowl party is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. That's good for a Super bowl party. You remember they played the super bowl last year. He's bringing them in. It's like, ah, you know, what, are.

[John Clay Wolf]

They having it at AAC or are they having his house?

[Turley]

This is in San Francisco. He rented out some place and he's having a big old super bowl party. And he's got all the top chefs with these crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

So he's spending $3 million.

[Turley]

He's got to pay them at least a million, right? Don't you think?

[John Clay Wolf]

I know a guy that had a wedding the other day. Oh, God. Who did he have? Bon Jovi at Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Bon Jovi played. I don't know if you knew that. No, they spent like 4 million. They paid Bon Jovi a million dollars to come play his daughter's wedding again? What part of the oil business is he in? Production. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The tents, the dress, that for four million dollar wedding. He had kiss and they canceled for some reason.

[Turley]

So he got Bon Jovi.

[John Clay Wolf]

He got Bon Jovi. Unbelievable. So Cuban has the Chili Peppers playing his party this week?

[Turley]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it televised?

[Turley]

No, no, it's invite only, Craig.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, for vet with no miles on it. Sounds pretty. What? Tell me about it. Is it. What color, what equipment?

[Caller]

Black, Black, black. Everything. 7,100 miles. Just like 7,098 drove it. Very, very little. It's only grocer. One owner.

[John Clay Wolf]

Tell me this. Let me ask you a couple of.

[Caller]

No rags, no nothing. It's museum quality.

[John Clay Wolf]

So does it. You said triple black. So it's a convertible?

[Caller]

Yes, sir. Black top, black interior, black exterior.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Automatic or stick?

[Caller]

Automatic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Chrome wheels or alloys?

[Caller]

You might not have to shift gears if you're driving a Corvette.

[John Clay Wolf]

Agreed. Is it chrome? You said, chrome wheels?

[Caller]

Yes, sir. I think they're 17 and 18 on that particular year.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. You bought it new, huh?

[Caller]

Actually, no. I am the second owner. I bought it out of an estate in Tyler, Texas.

[John Clay Wolf]

How long ago?

[Caller]

One, four months ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cool. What did you get for it? I mean, it's not gonna affect what you're gonna sell to me for.

[Caller]

Truthfully, I paid 23,500.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, you gave retail. I mean, you didn't.

[Caller]

Yeah, I did.

[John Clay Wolf]

You didn't steal it. There's no money left in it.

[Caller]

But I didn't get rid of it, though, because I have a new store I've opened and I'm short on cash.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, okay. Let me see what I can get for this thing because obviously it's a desirable piece. Oh, four. That body style is not getting there is unfortunate. It's not old enough to be ah yet. It just. Huh. I'm gonna move around.

[Caller]

I do understand it was used in some photo shoots for, like, Hooters or something like that.

[Turley]

Hey, send those [e-mail].

[John Clay Wolf]

That adds value in my world. I don't know about y'. All. Okay, That's.

[Caller]

I do have some of them.

[John Clay Wolf]

I happen to have some of them. Ah, I know. I will give you 18, 000 for it. If I have to give more than that, I'm gonna have to dig deeper. I. I've got to figure out, like I was saying a minute ago, the. The. The classic car auctions, they're not working right now, so I'm gonna have to retail out of this thing. That's fine. When I look at a car, I'm like, where am I going with it? That's where I start. The highest one, the highest convertible sold in the dealer market in the 020304 is all the same car, basically. I know yours is a little bit newer, but at this point, we just start buying body styles when they get that old. The highest one sold on the market. Here's one with 18,000 miles and it brought 18 grand. And here's one with 12,000 miles and an.03 that brought 18 grand. And that's where I'm coming up in my grand number.

[Caller]

Okay, well, I guess, is there a number to reach out the next day.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or so if I say, yeah, just go to givemetheven. Give me the VIN. So grab the VIN number, go to givemetheven.com, put it in the little box, push a couple pictures, Say, wolf hit me at 18 grand on the air, and I'm a seller and here's the pictures. When can you get me paid? So what we'll do. What city are you in?

[Caller]

I am in Houston, Texas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so Disco Bob, our Robert, our transport driver. Cool old man. He's not old man, he's my age. Why does he old man. He will be pulling up at your house, your business, wherever you want with a check in hand in exchange for he's gonna take the car, drive around the block, make sure everything's square, and then give you the check, you give him the title. And before we do that, we will have already got the pictures. You've already sent us this copy of the front and back, the title. We'll Twix it and do our research, make sure everything's what it's supposed to be. By the time we get to your house, we're done. I mean, all there is is that he looks at it and says, okay, it is what it says and is. And you'll take a check and you will go cash it and you're done.

[Caller]

I've used a private transport company before. I buy like an XLR Cadillac. And you know, as long as everybody's upfront with everything, you've got the VIN numbers and all the information, it's usually no big deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we do it, we do it 10 times a day on the buying from the public. And you know, this is one I.

[Caller]

Intended to buy and drive to 100,000 miles. But necessity means it's got to go.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I hear you, man. And if I could give more, I hate hearing you take a loss on it. That's what I want, to give more to get closer to your figure. But those estate sales auctioneers cover your ears because you're not going to like me telling this man. There's a lot of racket in those deals. There's a lot more hustle going on than people realize and rolling and driving and they put their own products in there. You know, John Wolf went broke and here's his estate, right? But then they bring in another half of inventory that they say is part of that is part of that. And they, they get the buzz going on, you know, they throw the meat out to the vultures. Everybody shows up to steal stuff and they start selling stuff high is what happened. So you bought a great car, you gave full blown retail, but estate sales when you said that, I was like, I would love to. I would love for you to say I gave 10,000 for it. I mean, I want to hear somebody that rip. I want to hear somebody that rips something out of estate sale, because there's got to be a way to outsmart these guys. All right, 8008-0072-3480-0800, 7234, 800, 800 radio. Did I ever tell you about when I auctioned off that mansion in the Kona? No. Yeah, we'd like to hear that. I'll tell you when we get back. And. And I really saw the hustle firsthand. They did exactly what I'm talking about, and they made a lot of money off of my backdrop is weird. Be right back. I don't. I don't believe it's bar sleep, my bro. That's all I. I ever. Podbean, your message amplifies. Ready to share your message with the world? Start your podcast journey with Podbean.
