Episode Overview

Episode #125 delivers another irreverent, high-energy morning with John Clay Wolfe and his regular cast. In characteristic style, the crew riffs on cars, sports (especially football), rock & roll, drunken party stories, car auctions, the quirks of classic cars, and even wild tales of cross-border car transport. This week, alongside comic banter and sharp jabs at the auto industry, the team navigates technical difficulties, lively listener calls, and gives listeners a peek into the unpolished, wild world of car buying and selling.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Energy, Technical Issues & Soul Music

• The show sets its tone with classic soul music and playful DJ banter.
• Technical Mishaps:
  • The first hour was a pre-recorded rerun due to an intern's antics the night before, resulting in studio technical chaos.
    • Quote: “Some guy… intern… came in here and banged some girl in the studio last night and made a mess of the board. And we had to swap the board out this morning.” (John Clay Wolfe, 03:15)
  • The team pulls back the curtain to reveal their behind-the-scenes scramble.

2. Dominance of Classic Rock, Radio Chatter (01:22–03:02)

• Local radio station rankings are discussed, highlighting that their affiliate, 92.5 The Eagle (classic rock), is Dallas’s #1 station.
• The popularity of classic rock over modern music leads to musings about competing with "dead rock stars" and the changing landscape of music.

3. Cars & Crazy Car Sale Stories

• Bidding On Listener Cars (Throughout)
  • Live negotiation for listener vehicles is the show’s trademark—Corvettes, Vipers, Harleys, RVs, and more.
  • John’s straightforward, often comically blunt, style gives listeners the real lowdown on what their vehicles are worth—and why.
• On CarMax and Exotic Cars
  • The host humorously lambasts CarMax for lowball offers on exotic cars:
    • “They offered me 30, which I thought was a joke.” (Jason, 12:01)
    • “Is this bag on CarMax day?” (John Clay Wolfe, 12:10)
• Live Deals:
  • John buys a Porsche Boxster over the air for $36,000 after talking the seller through the ins and outs (12:10–13:32).
  • Jeep Wrangler and Harley Davidson deals highlight the live-action energy.
  • The team pokes fun at low trade-in values and lays out the realities of the used-car market.
  • John gives listeners tough love about vehicle values: “Blue Book is designed for dealers to sell people on big prices. And it’s just not the real market. We deal in the real market, the check-writing market.” (John Clay Wolfe, 34:03)

4. Sports Talk: Football Fever (06:25–10:54, 38:06–38:51, 114:43–117:17)

• Discussions center on conference football championships: North Texas, TCU vs OU, Georgia vs Auburn, Miami vs Clemson, Ohio State vs Wisconsin.
  • “Too much football to stop drinking. Can't do it.” (Jenny, 06:32)
• Playoff implications, underdog odds, sports betting, and team frustrations (“bad football year for us here in North Texas”).
• Comparing NFL quarterbacks’ performances—with John relaying his bitterness as a TCU/Cowboys fan.

5. The Auction World: Behind the Scenes of Car Trading (15:23, 31:33, 43:32–44:59)

• They're moving their business to Dallas Auto Auction; John explains the importance of a good auctioneer in moving inventory.
• Discussion on their legendary auctioneer and what makes a car auction operate “like a casino”—constant money flowing, profits and losses averaging out.
• Quote: “There’s a horse and rider relationship where you get into a zone.” (John Clay Wolfe, 44:24)
• Colorful audio clips of fast-talking auctioneers are a highlight.

6. Games and Laughs: “White, Black, Latino or Other” (27:10–30:13)

• DJ PreK hosts the segment where the team guesses the race of a Ferrari-thief in California, based on the news story’s details (“He ran off into the bushes!”).
  • John initially guesses “white guy,” then surprises as the answer is revealed: “It was Israel Perez Rangel—Latino.”
  • Quote: “I just didn’t think he’d grab a damn Ferrari.” (John Clay Wolfe, 30:13)

7. Audience Interaction & Wild Call-In Stories

• Listeners share the weirdest places they’ve passed out after getting drunk—the hosts join in with their own crazy tales (65:55–69:13, 75:40–77:37, 119:12–121:55).
  • Jenny: GHB at a millionaire’s party, ended up sleeping on railroad ties in a backyard under sprinklers (67:16).

8. Other Memorable Segments

  • Regulars, including “Satan” and a Rush Limbaugh impersonator, riff on topics from health insurance to media scandals.
• Ripping on Health Insurance (47:01–49:13; 79:14–80:24):
  • Group venting about rising costs of healthcare, astronomical deductibles, and the failings of the current insurance system.
• Car Dealer Tall Tales (101:58–103:19):
  • Story of a Porsche dealer who learned a lesson about priorities when a crusty “assistant” with Whataburger-laden kids expedited a repair.
• Chain-Linked Car “Trains” to Mexico (105:06–111:23):
  • Listeners (especially from Texas/Louisiana) swap stories about seeing cars towed bumper-to-bumper in “trains” south to the border.
  • Callers describe the elaborate chain and bumper mounting, and hosts puzzle why they aren’t ticketed more frequently.

Tone and Style

The episode’s tone is “raw, unfiltered, rowdy radio.” John and crew mix quick-witted, biting automotive business talk with raunchy humor and real-world advice. They balance live call-in banter, inside car business stories, sports gripes, and plenty of self-deprecating laughs. For car sellers, “GiveMeTheVIN.com” is plugged relentlessly, but always in a manner true to the hosts’ unfussy, brash Texas persona.

---

In Summary

Listeners get the wild ride (and sometimes chaos) of a Texas morning show on full blast: an unpredictable mix of car talk, party stories, bad football bets, auction world wisdom, on-air deals, and a touch of mayhem. For those who haven’t tuned in, this episode is quintessential “John Clay Wolfe”: at once a car-selling infomercial, fraternity house confessional, sports talk, and throwback rock show, all rolled into one.

Transcript

[John Clay Wolfe]

Crank it up.

[Caller or Listener]

It's red hot.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm digging it.

[Producer or Announcer]

Give me the vin. The john clay wolf show.

[John Clay Wolfe]

If this isn't soul music, I don't know what is. It's not very loud. Turley Bob, the Roman Israel movie. Have you seen the cue for that? Roman J. Israel, Esquire.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Oh, yeah, the new Denzel film.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes, I have.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I have seen the trailer. It looks very interesting.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It is very good. I went and saw it last night and it ended with this. Can you bring the song up a touch? It ended with this song. It was just perfect. It just said. It just said it. All right. The Spinners, baby. Can you give us a good deep soul? Spinners. Let's start it over. Turley, let's have Bobbo do Soul 97. Bring in of the spinners from 1973. That's the year.

[Bobbo Bavo]

You with your uncle Bobbo on Soul 93.7. Saturday morning. I know what you have going on. Here's a little something to get you started. Have your coffee black and strong, just like 93.7.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good morning.

[Caller or Listener]

Perfect.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Perfect. Good morning, Jenny.

[Jenny]

Good morning, Johnny Clay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Woop. Just have your coffee black and strong, just like your uncle. Well, no, just like right here on 93.7. Speaking of radio stations, did you know that 92.5, our affiliate in Dallas Fort Worth, the one that we were going to ruin the station. We're going to ruin it. When they brought us on something still sounds weird. They're number 16 plus, which is the big one, right? Number one radio station, Dallas.

[Jenny]

Including everybody who listens.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I mean, just everybody that's got a pulse, right? Or an artery with a pump going through it. Number one, 92, the classic rock station.

[Jenny]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Now that's odd. What does it tell you about current music?

[Jenny]

Well, yes.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I don't get started.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Classic rock station, right? 92.5 is number one. Raw Cue. Most list two station in the Dallas Fort Worth Metropolitan, which happens to be our affiliate.

[Jenny]

Right?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good job, Patrick. Good job, Don.

[Jenny]

Awesome work. Don Davis, station.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Jim, Ted McKay, all you guys, Jeff K. But just to be. To beat the top 40, beat everything, all the countries, everybody. So the Eagle. I mean, it's hard to compete against dead rock stars. It's a bitch. It's a bitch. I mean, we compete against dead rock stars on the classic rock stations. We're on because we're live. We're not dead yet. JD's close. But when we're looking at it, when you're looking at, you know, your competition, it's. It's A lot of dead people. And it's really disappointing when you can't beat people that are dead in live entertainment.

[Bobbo Bavo]

True story.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And I feel the same way about the last hour of our show. We've had a lot of feedback in the past hour that we've been doing so good. We're cracking everybody up this morning. But the problem is is that wasn't us. It was. It was us.

[Turley]

Are you going to pull the curtain back?

[John Clay Wolfe]

It wasn't us, really, because it was a replay. Because we had one. Some guy. We have a new intern that we got from iheart and he came in here and banged some girl in the studio last night and made a mess of the board. And we had to swap the board out this morning. Right. So when we got in here this.

[Jenny]

Morning, everything wasn't working right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Nothing was working right.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, they were loud.

[Turley]

And Randy, he's got something to do with it.

[Jenny]

Are you in here?

[John Clay Wolfe]

What the hell? You all know. Y' all know I'm moving?

[Caller or Listener]

No.

[Jenny]

Yeah, where are you moving?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Me and Sharonda's been bunked up in here for a couple of nights.

[Jenny]

Oh, I didn't know that you've been in here.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, no, that iHeartradio guy, was it the intern? Yeah, they was getting it on.

[Jenny]

No, see, they'd been in here and they watched the whole intern thing happen.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, you saw it with your own two eyes, Randy. I wish I hadn't seen it.

[Jenny]

Was it bad?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I understand we had to have engineers in here this morning, panicking since 5 o' clock am trying to swap the board out and reconnect our studio because it was fried.

[Jenny]

They were all.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So the first hour of this broadcast was a replay off Westwood One. Thank God. Good job, Turley, for finding the auxiliary landing gear and having it down.

[Jenny]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, he's pretty sharp, Curly. Yeah, for a Jew.

[Turley]

I'm not Jewish.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm Greek.

[Turley]

Italian.

[Jenny]

So what happened, Randy? So you were in here hanging out with Sharonda?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, we don't hang out. We just show up, you know, right before y' all lock the doors in the evening and bed down.

[Jenny]

You know, he bed down for the night and then all of a sudden this intern comes in with his girlfriend and just starts noise and craziness.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. And I don't think they were an item or anything.

[Jenny]

Oh, really? Like a one night deal?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I think she was on the clock. Oh, no. Oh, is the information I got paid for. Tony, our. Our new. Our new guy. Oh, man, Anthony, he was being real.

[Caller or Listener]

Nice, but then all of a Sudden it changed.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He's like, you can leave your shoes on. What? Yeah, and my girl's drawn. I said, don't look, Sharonda.

[Jenny]

It was too late.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's too late. 800-800-72348. She's already been in since 800, 880. We haven't done any car stuff this morning. Let's get to that. If you got a car you want to sell, call me. 800-800-7234. Corvettes, Vipers, Diesel trucks, you know, we'll bid the junk, but it's just cars are boring. If you've got something exciting that you really want to sell and we can negotiate it on live air for everyone to hear, that's always fun. Remember, if we don't beat your CarMax, if givemetheven.com doesn't beat your CarMax offer, then they will write you a check for a hundred dollars for the opportunity. And if that doesn't validate their pricing mechanism, I don't know what does. 800-800-723-4. Good morning, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and of course, Louisiana. Turley, the football profile today. I thought last week was good. This week's gonna be better. I'm having a lot of trouble getting over my alcoholism in this environment of incredible football.

[Jenny]

Football, huge.

[Turley]

Last weekend you were saying it was gonna be a better weekend, but it's even bigger this weekend.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes, it is.

[Jenny]

Too much football to stop drinking. Can't do it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Sorry, I'm.

[Jenny]

Bad week.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That sounds like a good country.

[Jenny]

It does, man.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's a bad week to go to rehab. And it's a bad week to stop drinking with all this football. What is the lineup today, doctor?

[Turley]

Well, first game on tap is at 11 o'. Clock, North Texas versus Florida Atlantic for the Conference USA championship.

[John Clay Wolfe]

North Texas is playing. Yes.

[Turley]

Looking for them on ESPN2 at 11.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And they beat all the high schools in the area this year. Oh, come on, man. They're nine. That's a hell of a road, Freeman.

[Turley]

Eagles, baby. They're underdogs by 13, so I don't know how that's going to work out for them. But it's on then at 11:30, Big 12. Everybody really cares about this one here locally in the Dallas Fort Worth area, TCU versus Oklahoma. And of course, our Oklahoma fans are listening right now. They're want to watch this one. 11:30 on Fox. Big 12 championship game at 18.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Why is it so early?

[Turley]

Because this game kind of doesn't have a lot of luster. Because if.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, it does. It has Just as much as everybody else. Because if OU wins, they go to the playoffs.

[Turley]

Yes. But if they lose, then nothing.

[Caller or Listener]

Nothing.

[Turley]

Cuz TCU is just not.

[John Clay Wolfe]

TCU thinks they're going to go playoffs, but they won't. No, they.

[Turley]

Last week they had a chance if some things fell in place, but they didn't. So now it's just kind of. It's pride. I mean they got their butts handed to them last time by 20. They're underdogs right now by 7 to ou. I think, I think that's about right. I think It's.

[John Clay Wolfe]

We got TCU at 11:30 and then what else?

[Turley]

Three o', clock, the SEC championship game. Georgia versus Auburn.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Auburn, Atlanta. Yeah, that's.

[Turley]

It's one point spread right now. It's pretty close. Taking Auburn, Georgia football, seven o', clock, ACC championship. Miami versus Clemson. Got seven versus number one. There's a lot of.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm taking Miami because they're mean and they're like multicultural and they do cocaine and they listen to rap music. I'm just going back to the whole Luke Skywalker 1988 Miami in my head, I think that they've come back from the dead.

[Turley]

There's some profiling there.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That is some profiling. Jimmy Johnson profiling, Michael Irvin profiling.

[Turley]

At the same time.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Back when Cowboys were great.

[Turley]

At the same time. At 7:00 clock on Fox, you can watch the Big Ten championship. Ohio State versus Wisconsin.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Ohio State's gonna win that contest just because they're Ohio State.

[Turley]

Well, that could cause some chaos because then Wisconsin drops out.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What's that do to TCU if TCU wins? Nothing. Nothing. Right.

[Turley]

Probably puts Bam in the championship game or the playoffs again.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's what you get for screwing your sister. Why you always wind up on top. If you don't believe me, ask anybody from the state of Alabama.

[Jenny]

Making friends and influencing people.

[Turley]

Glad we're not in an Alabama 800.

[John Clay Wolfe]

800. 7, 2, 3. I'm just a little bitter. You are what? I'm a little bitter. What happened? Just I wanted my frogs to. To go all the way and. And they're not. And they screwed it up and Bama always wins and they're going to wind up figuring out a way to win again this year and win last year. It's like the Patriots. I mean, who likes the Patriots? I hate the Patriots. Dot com. Is that one taken?

[Jenny]

I bet it's not. I bet it's somebody's got it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

God, I hate the Patriots. And the Cowboys are terrible. Even though they beat The Redskins. It's just. It's just a bad football year for us here in North Texas. The Cowboys won Thursday.

[Turley]

Come on, they have a chance.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, don't. No, they don't.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Yeah, but Cowboy nation.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Don't give me that false hope. I don't need false hope in my life.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Cowboy fans are so flam. Flammy, though, because all of a sudden, since that game Thursday, they're going to Super Bowl.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Going all the way, man.

[Bobbo Bavo]

They got their problems all figured out, right?

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, no, not right. They beat DC on an off night at home. That's it.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Yeah, that's it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I know. Did you see what Philly did to us? Yeah, I mean, I felt like. I mean, Dak on his Twitter put hashtag me too after that Philly game. And the same thing on the next weekend of the Chargers. He got sexually assaulted, Bob. And when your quarterback gets sexually assaulted, it's not good for. For your fandis. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Ruins the stat line, too.

[John Clay Wolfe]

800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Put them on hold. D.J. 800, 800. 7234. Good morning, Tony.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey. Hey, did you. Have you seen the YouTube video of the. The guy that took the Lamborghini and the CarMax to get a bid on it?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes. Isn't that funny?

[Caller or Listener]

Oh, that's hysterical. $198,000 for a three million dollar Lamborghini.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't think that that math is quite right, but. Yeah, they're terrible at buying exotic cars. Terrible. All of the guys are terrible. Yeah, all of them are terrible. I'm not gonna sit here and rag on some other names that I do business with. But I mean, we buy the exotic cars. We beat somebody by 15 grand the other day. God, we beat. We beat one of the big brands by 25 grand the other day. Yeah, I mean, I love the exotic cars, but where you. Where you.

Where do you. Where are you coming up with the 36 number? I mean, Another good dealer. The biggest one in the country. Hit it at 30 grand. Why do you think it's worth 36?

[Caller or Listener]

Well, Adam, give me a trade offer, you know, 39. But what I don't want to trade it. I don't know what I want to buy.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Why would you say that? Somebody gave you a Trade offer of 39?

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, on a trade in.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Why didn't you take that?

[Caller or Listener]

It's a Sahara with leather and nav. Is that right?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes. Yellow with a yellow hardtop.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Is it lifted?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, two and a half inches.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Do you have a title or is there a payoff?

[Caller or Listener]

No payoff.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Cool. So we can, like, do real normal business. Like I buy the car from you and you hand me a title and I hand you money and we're done.

[Caller or Listener]

Absolutely.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Cool. All right. Four door or two door?

[Caller or Listener]

Two door.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Two. That's too bad. The four doors just are so much more desirable. But it's a Sahara. Does it have aftermarket wheels? You say four door or two door?

[Caller or Listener]

Aftermarket. After aftermarket wheel. Four door. I'm sorry.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Four door. That's better.

[Caller or Listener]

I wouldn't. I wasn't paying attention.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's okay. It happens when most people are on the radio. We've got a four door Sahara, unlimited automatic or stick?

[Caller or Listener]

Automatic.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. And it's for sale. I can buy it. We can do business.

[Caller or Listener]

No, I don't think so.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Remember, we're talking greenbacks. Like, I'm gonna give you a check that you can go around to the bank right around the corner and turn into hundreds if you wish, or we'll wire it to you. You know, I'm. I'm not. I'm. I'm offering real money. No, no. No test drives. I don't have to get approved. No BS. I don't have to talk to my wife. 26. 5, right?

[Caller or Listener]

No, I think I just keep it for that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, I've got a boat. You want to trade?

[Caller or Listener]

No, I don't want no boat.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I got a boat. I feel the same way about. I keep having people offer me love. I'm like, I'll just keep it. It's just sitting out there eating hay. I'm paying $400 a month in slip rental. Hadn't been on it in six months. Does 26. 2 buy it?

[Caller or Listener]

No.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Does 26. 5 buy it? No, there's 26. What's it take? Yeah, right. I should ask you that a while back.

[Caller or Listener]

It'd take 27,000.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay.

[Turley]

All right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So is the title in your name?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolfe]

All right, well, it's fixed to be in my name. So here's what you need to do is put load it into the system, givemetheven.com and we'll get the package loaded up online. You're gonna take some pictures for us if we're gonna come get it, and I'll be out there Monday with a check and it's sold. And if somebody comes by and says, hey, what do you want for your jeep? You know what? You're gonna tell them I've sold it, you guys. So you need to call Mr. Wolf and ask him what he wants for his jeep, because it ain't mine no more. All right, sold. Sold. Sold. 800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. I'm gonna put you on hold.

[Bobbo Bavo]

How can that be?

[Caller or Listener]

It's just.

[John Clay Wolfe]

All right.

[Bobbo Bavo]

He invented the form, dude.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Form of what?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Well, I mean, that kind of exhibitionist hard rock and roll with the theatrics and make KISS should pay Alice Cooper a hundred thousand dollars a day.

[Jenny]

A day.

[Bobbo Bavo]

You know, and all the guys that came after Ozzy Osbourne. I know. Black Sabbath was a little darkish, but Ozzy Osbourne solo. Alice Cooper did first Kiss. Alice Cooper did it first.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So there's. He. He was the Howard Stern of shock jock radio.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Do Slipknot.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Actually, Stevens and Pruitt was on before Howard Stern doing it. But anyway, 800-800-7 2, 3, 4. Time for your favorite game show.

[Jenny]

What's my favorite favorite game show?

[John Clay Wolfe]

White, Black, Latino or other. Oh, boy.

[Turley]

Yeah, yeah, it's your boy, DJ Prek. Back again with another installment of everybody's favorite game show, White, Black, Latino or other, where I read a new story and y' all gotta guess the race. So today we got a guy down in Southern California, Santa Ana to be exact, who went ahead and stole a 310 stack Ferrari, you know, running up them grands. And, well, he was swinging and swerving down the highway and pulled up to a gas station, started asking for some ends, for some gas. So people got suspicious and the people called the police. So 5o comes and they get on his. Get on his ass and all this and find out the car's stolen and he runs off in the bushes and the police gotta get him and all this. So they go ahead and get him and take him to jail for stealing a Ferrari. So what y' all think? White, black, Latino or other? So he ran into a bush.

[Jenny]

How long did the.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Now, wait, where are you getting the bush part of the story? Does it like, say that clearly he ran off into a bush or were you just ad libbing?

[Turley]

Says he ran off into the bushes once the cops came near a Holiday Inn.

[Jenny]

See?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, you know, that does sound like a wall jumper because Southern California and run into the brush quickly and disappear. However, I don't think that a Hispanic American or an illegal Hispanic in America would have the guts or glory to steal a Ferrari. I think it sounds like a very high white guy.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Yeah, I'm with you on that, man.

[Turley]

Man, a lot of technology in there. Yeah, I'm going to Indian other other.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Down there in the.

[Jenny]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Down there in Silicon Valley. Ish.

[Jenny]

Yes. Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

See, there was a distraught program. Computer program.

[Jenny]

That's a good twist because I was gonna go white guy. Because if it was a black guy, he probably would have. You know, they normally get tackled. They don't run to a bush. White guys get tired and they run to the bush.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[Jenny]

So I'm gonna go with a white guy.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So that's like your NFL reference for the year.

[Jenny]

Yes, that's my one.

[Caller or Listener]

You're welcome.

[Jenny]

You're welcome. I'm no I'm talking about the videos that I see on television.

[John Clay Wolfe]

OJ didn't run off into a bush in general.

[Jenny]

No, he ran off.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He just drove off.

[Jenny]

Drove off into the horizon.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Bob.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I'm with you on the Caucasian thing, man.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. Two high white guys, one African American, one Indian. Dj, what do you. Well, you know the answer, so you can't vote. Okay. What? What? What's the answer?

[Turley]

Well, y' all are dead wrong today, man. It was Israel Perez Rangel.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Wow. So Latino.

[Turley]

Yeah, Latino. You should have went with your gut first there. You were going to go that way, weren't you?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I was going to go that way. I just didn't think he'd grab a damn Ferrari.

[Jenny]

Ferrari.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And if he did, he wouldn't know how to jump.

[Bobbo Bavo]

It's like a.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Was this guy a valet?

[Turley]

Yeah. Says that security video showed a man in a Ferrari jacket walking onto the lot and grabbing some keys out of the passenger seat, driving off with the Ferrari.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He had a Ferrari jacket on.

[Turley]

That wouldn't helped any. Yep, he was ready. And he's like, I'm going to get him.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Ferrari.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I premeditated.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He's just a dude. He was legal. He was legal. We need to check out his status, but I think he was legal.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Rangel is a Spanish surname, like European Spanish, I think.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, shut up, Bobo.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Yeah, this is a hoity toity guy.

[John Clay Wolfe]

800, 873 Ford, 150,000 mile Ford truck that called in a minute ago. It's going to be 8500 bucks depending go to givemethevin.com and line it up Portuguese. So we are moving into a lot of our listeners that are not in the car business. You know, this means nothing to you, but where we remarket. We're the largest wholesale dealer in the state of Texas. And we're changing our home, our selling spot, to the Manheim's Dallas auto auction next Wednesday. It's been a big deal. We've been working on this forever. Okay. And. And we're finally taking the jump. But I'm really excited about one thing.

[Jenny]

What's that?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Because I've got my auctioneer back. Oh. And I don't know if he's gonna make it for the grand opening day next Wednesday because he's in Hawaii. And the planes. His plane gets back from Hawaii after the auction. Oh, I know it. And we've got a reroute, but that would get him here at 5 in the morning. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if it's gonna Work or not.

[Jenny]

Why is he your auctioneer?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Because when I started in the business in 97, he was the auctioneer of the lane that I used to sell it.

[Jenny]

Oh.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And then he made it. He made the big time. And he went off and quit the car auction, the normal car auction business. And we're bringing him back. You play a little clip if you any, any guys in the business want to call in and guess who it is.

[Jenny]

So he's still doing cars or he's not. You said he went off and quit the regular car business. I just leave it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'll just. If I. If I colored in any more than that, people that know will know.

[Jenny]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So I got to be careful.

[Caller or Listener]

3 have it have been 4 habit of a million. 4 habit of a million.

[John Clay Wolfe]

5.

[Caller or Listener]

How many million? 6. How about to get 5, 6, 7.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Have it of a million.

[Caller or Listener]

7 million 800. $800,000. How about a million 7? 1 million 888 million 900.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He's the best.

[Bobbo Bavo]

He's really good.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He's the best bass. $2 million and that car's not done. It goes to four. That's the original Batmobile Burris.

[Jenny]

I was going to say. And that's Ford F250 he's getting with Stats. What was that? The Batmobile. The original George Barris Batmobile.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It brought 4.2 mil, I believe. Hey, Rodney in Mansfield 05 Crossfire with a buck 13 is worth about 2 grand. Maybe 2500. Unless it's an SRT.

[Caller or Listener]

No, no, it's just the standard.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

Blue books for five.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, looking at 2500.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, that's the money on it. They break a lot. The. They're not very reliable. They don't have a real good resale. I've probably bought 200 of them in my career. God. I remember when I was a Dodge dealer, they built too many of them. They couldn't sell them. And Dodge was so desperate to get off year end inventory that they offered the dealers 5,000 cash above and beyond all rebates if you would take them out of their pre built bank. And I bought like 30 of them because we were a little light on the cash flow program.

[Jenny]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So. And then when we dealer. We dealer traded them all off and they all worked. So. Yeah, I've been buying those things cheap for a long time is what I'm trying to say, Roddy.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay. Why do they blue book for that price if it's just a standard?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Because blue book sells.

[Caller or Listener]

Sucks.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I call it Kelly blue balls because she just you know, tells you things that don't aren't real. She leaves you hanging. She gets your expectations up and doesn't deliver. And that's why it's just blue Book is designed for dealers to sell people on big prices. And it's just not the real market. We deal in the real market, the check writing market, and in the hard money market. And that, that, that's the money on. It just is. I'm sorry. Okay, Good deal.

[Caller or Listener]

I appreciate your time.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Thank you. 800-800-7234. Sam, does this 07 Sierra have 18,000 miles on it?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Who passed away?

[Caller or Listener]

Nobody passed away. I just like to buy me a new truck every year.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What year is it?

[Caller or Listener]

2017.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, D.J. knock another $10 off his check. He put 07, not 17.

[Turley]

You go, he's minus 30 bucks, John.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, I mean, D.J. 's going to walk out of here owing his money today. Sam, go to give me the vin.com and load it up. These 17s are getting tricky because the big rebates on them and I've got to pull a rebate schedule against your VIN number to bid it correctly. Well, actually my computer's already programmed to do it, but I on each, if you watch TV, you see, you know, you get a new truck, 20,000 off.

[Jenny]

Right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, it has affected the prices of the used ones, I can tell you that. 8008-0072-3480-0800.

[Jenny]

So not all Batmobiles are worth $2 million? No, because I know a buddy used to have one.

[John Clay Wolfe]

The real ones are. The real ones are.

[Jenny]

I think he got his repoed. But it's okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

We said we weren't going to do that.

[Jenny]

Oh, okay. Remember I didn't say anybody.

[Turley]

Never happened, John.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, good happened. 800-800-72348. 800 radio, RVs and bikes. We buy them too. Baba.

[Turley]

What?

[Jenny]

Not both.

[John Clay Wolfe]

How was your Thanksgiving?

[Bobbo Bavo]

We had a good Thanksgiving. It's nice and quiet. Went to mom's house, had a, had a great lunch with everybody.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Jenny]

And went home very chill.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You know what the funniest give me the VIN thing of the week was? So I look up and we're going to Laredo to pick up a 11 Malibu with 90,000 miles on it. Okay. And my dispatch lady calls, she's like, hey, the driver that's going to pick this thing up, obviously it's 14 hour round trip from Dallas and they want to know where they're going to stay. And I'm start looking at this car and I'm like, why the hell are we going to Laredo? Why are we going to Mexico to pick up a hundred thousand mile nothing car?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Why would you?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't know. And so we just drug tested everyone.

[Jenny]

Okay. We're going to Juarez tomorrow to get a Volkswagen.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. With 180 on it. Thank God the guy agreed to meet us in San Antonio. Oh, my God. I mean, that. That, that. That. That's a stretch. And how the hell they find us in Laredo, in Brownsville? We don't broadcast down there, man.

[Turley]

The Internet's amazing.

[Jenny]

It's bizarre. One of the sales guys was talking to somebody in California. Are we on in California?

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, no.

[Jenny]

But there was some guy in California wanted to sell a car.

[John Clay Wolfe]

If you're a dealer and you know the name of my. The. The auctioneer that I might think about, I was going to give something away, but I was a bit fixed to give something a little too big away. We'll give you $100 cash with the first car you buy from that guy in our new lane at Dallas Auto Auction.

[Turley]

So when is that lane? Is it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It starts at 9:30 Wednesday morning. Morning in Dallas, Texas. And I'm excited. And the other. The other auction was great. Been with them forever, but we're just growing to the point that we need more capacity, for lack of a better term. Specifically Manheim Simulcast. That's what was killing me, is there's dealers all over and listeners and guys all over the region that can't make it here, and they want to buy online.

[Jenny]

Manheim's huge.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Manheim's got Mannheim's, the Google of online simulcast, and the others are like Yahoo or sgs.

[Jenny]

Bing.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. There's just not much action there. A Pace Camaro. I don't know. So, Turley, what do you think's gonna happen in the OU TCU game?

[Turley]

I think OU will win and it'll be closer. It was 20 last time. I. I like that. Seven points on there. Oh, you win by seven.

[John Clay Wolfe]

How did we work out last week on our bets? Because I felt like I was kicking butt and you were early. Yeah.

[Turley]

But it ended up where I owe you 10 bucks. Now we're out of five games. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Huh? That's it.

[Turley]

That's it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Because I. Some long ball bets that I made where we moved the spread big. I was right. The LSU one.

[Turley]

You won the LSU one. You won the Auburn one. Pick that straight up. Yeah, I won.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Ou. We.

[Turley]

That spread was a little bit. You were. You went under 22 when I moved it up. And Then the Notre Dame game. You took Notre Dame and they got annihilated.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, they did.

[Turley]

And then you won the Clemson game, which I was stupid on that one. You won the long ones, but I.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I won the big balls.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's weird. Yeah, we've got that.

[Turley]

Notre Dame wouldn't hurt you.

[John Clay Wolfe]

800, 800 radio. Just go to givemethevend.com My name is John Clay Wolf. I by Carson Radio. Be right back.

[Producer or Announcer]

Givemethe vin.com presents.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Crank it up.

[Caller or Listener]

It's red hot.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm digging it.

[Producer or Announcer]

The John Clay will show.

[John Clay Wolfe]

This is a good tune. Good morning everybody. My name is John Clay Wolf. J.D. ryan, Bobbo Bavo, you there? Yeah, Daddy. J.D.

[Jenny]

You there?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I hear everything working. We're here to do this. A pace car, Toby. A pace car in Grand Prairie, Texas. An 8,000 mile pace car. I don't remember the body of that thing back then. Is it a convertible? Normally they are, yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

The. You remember the 2011 Camaro?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

Model.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

All right. The, the difficulty I'm having with this one here was the same problem I had when I originally purchased it was if you look at the VIN, it's going to come back as a 2Ss, obviously. 2011 2Ss Camaro, which in itself has its own price. There is no recognition in the vintage for the additional stuff they put on to make it a pace car, which is $7,000 markup above the base price on A2SS when we purchased it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. So what's everybody hitting you at? What? Sounds like you've had some offers.

[Caller or Listener]

No, I haven't had any offers. I just know what the car is worth and if, if anybody were to look it up and try to quote me a price on it, they'd be looking at the.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So what do you really think in your mind that $7,000 MSRP markup from new. How much do you think it's worth? More is used than a normal.

[Caller or Listener]

Well, this, this is one of the cars that with age the price ought to be going up because there was only 500 of them originally around the world and that number is less than 500 now because the total breadth or whatever the case may be, I still.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Think people care that much. Every year they've got pace cars. There's pace cars everywhere. And I just don't think, I mean, I'm not dissing your car, but I don't think it's like, oh my God. I think, I think you might get a two grand lift out of, out of whatever a two SS is. Worth maybe. Plus two GS on the pace car. That's my opinion. That's my opinion. Okay, go loaded and give me the vin.com 800-800-7234. Dylan in Louisiana. I have not seen the new Aussie show. Where is that on? It's on A E. What's it called?

[Caller or Listener]

Jack and Ozzy.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, Sharon, they go.

[Caller or Listener]

They start off in Florida and then they last episode they was at the Alamo.

[Jenny]

It's a road trip show.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, what about Sharon and the daughter?

[Jenny]

Dad and son?

[Caller or Listener]

They went to find out what really happened at the Alamo back in the.

[Jenny]

Day when I turns out he did not do anything on the out.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So earlier we were talking about. We're moving our auction to Dallas Auto Auction and we're starting this Wednesday from the. From the old auction we were at. And I played a clip of the auctioneer that we're bringing back into the car circuit for us. I don't know if he's going to be here Wednesday because he's in Hawaii, but. But I did a mystery and we played a little clip of him to see if anybody. I'm surprised. I've got. I've got five people on hold right here that have it right. Play a clip of him. Turley. He's the most famous auctioneer in the business, period. Really? Old friend of mine, when I first got in the business at Dallas Auto Auction 97, he was there and he was selling the lane. So it's kind of like he and I are getting back together again and coming home. He's a neat guy. So, J.D. who's your guess?

[Caller or Listener]

Spanky Asseter.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Mike, who's your guest?

[Caller or Listener]

Mike Spanky Asseter.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Where are you calling from?

[Caller or Listener]

From Los Salinas.

[John Clay Wolfe]

How do you know? Are you in the business?

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, John, you and I know each other. I worked at Dallas when you and. For a long time. For 15 years. That was a general sales manager there.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, okay. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah. That voice is pretty hard to hide, isn't it?

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, it's kind of hard to hide. Spankies boy.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Thanks for listening. I'm not confirming that's true. I'm just listening to people talk. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.

[Jenny]

What makes it amazing? What makes somebody better as an auctioneer? Obviously, it's not speed. What is it?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, it is built to count.

[Jenny]

They all sound the same.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Speed. No, to be able to read the crowd. Maintain momentum, keep high energy, be clear. When you're running an auction block and you're selling millions of dollars worth of stuff.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You got to take sacrificial lambs. You got to blow stuff out. You're at a casino.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And a. A slot machine pays off.

[Jenny]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What happens?

[Jenny]

A lot of noise, a lot of people. People come around.

[Turley]

Look.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And what do the people wind up doing?

[Jenny]

They all want to spend money.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. They start doing more slob issues. So we sell our cars. That's the difference between us and what, the other people that. I just call them sharecroppers. Okay. There's just two different games. It's pro ball and jv.

[Jenny]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And you've got to sell your cars, and you take losses on your cars, and that means that somebody got to steal one. Gotcha. And that keeps them on their toes. And you get this environment where it's liquid and everything's selling, and you're losing a thousand and making a thousand and losing 2200 and making 2200. You're working an average. And a good auctioneer that knows how to maintain that momentum and work with his seller. Who'd be me. There's a horse and rider relationship where you get into a zone, and we may be rusty, man. We hadn't done it together in a long time.

[Jenny]

No, I get it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

The.

[Jenny]

The auction thing.

[John Clay Wolfe]

The.

[Jenny]

The casino thing's a real good analogy, because when a table's working.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Jenny]

And the dealer's hot and the guy's hot, it really. There's a flow.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And when you have. Yeah. And when you have, like, a car and it starts at 20 grand, it goes to 23. 2.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And then the bidding stops, and the. The seller's like, nope. Takes 24. I mean, that is such a buzzkill. That makes everybody mad. They were the high bidder. They outbid everybody in the room. You sell your damn car.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You don't ask for more, especially if you got multiple bidders. That's the market. Go. Oh, well. It's too short. Well, tough. Tough ass.

[Jenny]

Moving on.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. You got to take the hit. You got to be a big boy.

[Jenny]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And that's. We buy cars like big boys, and we sell cars like big boys. And it hurts sometimes, bud.

[Jenny]

But for people that have never been in there. I was trying to get you to get into the energy of what. What. That is how that works.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Mike, do you have any of my energy clips? No.

[Jenny]

I get it. I. I mean, I. I hear.

[Turley]

That's my favorite.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Wait one more time. That means it. Lost money.

[Jenny]

Lost money. Okay. That's funny. That's great.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, so, yeah, we're excited.

[Jenny]

And we're quarterback and a receiver.

[Bobbo Bavo]

You just.

[Jenny]

There's a pattern. There's a dance.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You wouldn't believe all the setup that's taking place this week and how hard it is. And Brandy, high five to you. You're doing a great job. And everybody else and Sean and Norman, you guys and Max that are making all this happen. There's a lot of moving parts. It's like moving out of one big office building into a whole other one. In a week.

[Turley]

In a week.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. It's. It's setting up a lot of you. We'll see. We'll have plenty to talk about. Okay. Tyler. Houston, Texas. 15 ram. 2500 with 110. Now I sound like a damn auctioneer. It's got 110,000 miles, Tyler. Is it a leather rig?

[Caller or Listener]

Is it a What?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Is it leather?

[Caller or Listener]

No, it's not leather.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Is it diesel?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, it's the diesel.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Is it long bed or short bed?

[Caller or Listener]

Regular bed.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm going to say short. Okay. Is this crew cab or regular cab?

[Caller or Listener]

Crew cab.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Is it mega cab or. Or just regular Crew cab?

[Caller or Listener]

Regular crew cab.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, 15 with 110 on it. Four wheel drive. If it's average condition, it's worth $25,000.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Cash, check or charge?

[Caller or Listener]

I gotta have 36 for it. It's my loan on it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. You're buried. Your tank. Get a preacher and a backhoe. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4, 8. You shouldn't have got me in this auction remote now. My.

[Turley]

Your brain's fast right now.

[John Clay Wolfe]

When I'm in that mode, J.D. it's worse than radio. As far as your head being spinning 500 miles an hour.

[Jenny]

You go into it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. I feel my blood pressure going up just getting and listening to that stuff. It's ridiculous. I've got two shows I put on a week. Saturday morning here.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And Wednesday morning at the Dallas Auto auction. That's starting this Wednesday. It's been Tuesday Metro for five years.

[Jenny]

Right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I think the other one is more.

[Jenny]

Draining from the vanity, I've heard. Because you're. You're really.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I mean.

[Jenny]

Well, you hear the audio there. You're so. Your energy level so high. Do you just crash after that, or.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, I've got to get off the damn block and go buy more cars. I mean, we buy 250 cars a week, and it takes a lot. It takes a lot. I'm gonna die young. But I mean. But. But I think I'll have. I went ahead and opted for the big insurance we were buying Health insurance the other day.

[Jenny]

Right. Health or life?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Health. Okay.

[Jenny]

I mean, I'm just saying.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I hear you, but it's so. It's so. It's so expensive.

[Jenny]

Health is.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, no, it's so expensive, jd. It's crazy.

[Jenny]

Really.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, it's. It's insane.

[Jenny]

Where did you go? Just an independent company.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, I shopped and shopped and shopped, but for. For us and our family.

[Jenny]

Nice.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Michael, guess how much it is a.

[Jenny]

Month for your family.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Me and my family. There's six of us.

[Jenny]

Oh, gosh, I don't know.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's more than a mortgage in a lot of cases. What? Yeah, 2400amonth. 2400.

[Jenny]

Almost at a thousand, I thought.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, that'll blow his 400amonth.

[Jenny]

So you're talking about $27,000 a year.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And there's a deductible?

[Jenny]

Of course.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I mean, it's just like the insurance thing has gotten. Satan.

[Caller or Listener]

What? What?

[John Clay Wolfe]

What? Why have you done this? This one. What. What are you doing?

[Jenny]

Yeah, it's a rip off. What? You think so?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. My deductible is 13,000.

[Jenny]

You have health insurance?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, I've never. I've never seen deductibles this high.

[Bobbo Bavo]

And I've been around forever.

[Jenny]

You have been. Literally.

[Caller or Listener]

Horrible thing.

[Bobbo Bavo]

But, you know, they're sending a lot.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Of fresh bodies my way, too. So.

[Jenny]

Sick in hell.

[John Clay Wolfe]

If you don't have insurance and you die, do you go to hell? They want you to think so.

[Jenny]

So I think.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That'S a great point we have. Rush Limbaugh is on the isdn. He's wanting to say he's got a little health care insight, you know. John. Yes. Rush Limbaugh.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Good morning. So happy to see Republicans and Republicans working together again. Looks like our tax bill's gonna go through. Yes. That's a good thing.

[Turley]

Yes.

[Bobbo Bavo]

You don't sound very excited.

[Jenny]

No, I'm.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm still on this insurance shock.

[Jenny]

Yeah. Yes.

[Bobbo Bavo]

It's. It's. It's quite a. It's quite a bait and switch.

[Jenny]

Now, does a guy like Rush Limbaugh have insurance or you just have so much money you don't care?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Oh, sure, I'm fully covered.

[Jenny]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobbo Bavo]

You know, but I don't know how much I pay. I mean, I've got people to take care of that kind of thing here in the business. Speaking of the business, man, I. These news guys, now, you know that the stars out in Hollyweird.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Are gonna tend towards some hanky panky. And Matt Lauer.

[Jenny]

What about it.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I wasn't surprised at all by Matt la. He once came out to interview me. This was long ago.

[Jenny]

Here we go.

[Bobbo Bavo]

When I was. I was just the first couple of years in talk radio, of course. Came in to interview me for a thing he did in. I think it was Topeka he was working in. And he got pissed me on the ass.

[Jenny]

He did not.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He did. Matt Lauer pitched you Rush Limbaugh on the butt.

[Bobbo Bavo]

And he did that Mr. Spock thing with his eyebrow and winked at me.

[Jenny]

Allegedly.

[Bobbo Bavo]

You know, Glenn Beck, the same kind of thing. No, it's not, you know, news guys. I don't know if people realize this, but I am not in this business to share the truth, okay? I'm an editorialist and I know everything. Glenn Beck once did the same thing to me twice in one evening.

[Jenny]

I don't believe.

[Bobbo Bavo]

And then he cried.

[Jenny]

I do believe.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I said, you know, listen, I mean, I'm not offended or anything. Flash is flesh. But how about a Percocet?

[Jenny]

But I. I also wonder about you. Are you gonna be the next one that's gonna pop up as a.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You know. That's a good point.

[Bobbo Bavo]

It never happened, brother. Never happened. No. I've been happily married for way too long.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And so have they.

[Jenny]

So they.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So have.

[Bobbo Bavo]

They just don't fly that way.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Rush Limbaugh, you've never used your power and prowess to sexually offend or something?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Not that I recall. But I do drink quite frequently.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Right.

[Bobbo Bavo]

And you know, I do get in the throes of a Vicodin buzz.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's how you get what's amazing that's coming out and breaking in the. In the news and the media is that people are using power to manipulate sex. It's un heard of. It would only happen in this day and age.

[Jenny]

Yeah. At least it's the biblical times.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Unless you, if you'd like to know how it used to be, turn on a few episodes of Mad Men on Netflix. Right.

[Turley]

Well, it's funny. Rush said that he got pinched in the ass by Matt Lauer because Katie Couric said the same thing. Listen, this. This is a clip from 2010 on the Andy Cohen show.

[Jenny]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You co hosted the Today show with Matt Lauer for 15 years. What is Matt's most important annoying habit?

[Jenny]

He pinches me on the.

[Caller or Listener]

A lot. Wow.

[Jenny]

I wouldn't have a problem with that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Thanks, everybody. What year?

[Turley]

She laughed about it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What year?

[Turley]

This is like 2010, 12.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's.

[Turley]

It's years ago that that clip from. And she Laughed about it when she said that.

[Jenny]

Of course she did.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I mean, at the time.

[Jenny]

What are you gonna do? Yeah. Yeah, he does. He's a crazy guy. Because that's how it all was. Until when, I guess, is the Weinstein thing? Or is it. Was it Kevin Space? You know what, Kevin? Every time something happens, you know, Kevin Spacey goes, thank you, Jesus. Another one. Between me and the brand, the headline, at least.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. It's not an underage boy.

[Jenny]

Yeah, well, you had to bring that up.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Kevin's a different duck. Hey, Danny. And Baton Rouge 16 Corvette Z06. I'm going to take you off the air because we got to go to break, so hang tight, okay?

[Caller or Listener]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

All right. My name is John Clay Wolf, and I buy cars. The AT Lear. Be right back.

[Producer or Announcer]

[Caller or Listener]

Sam.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Danny. Good morning.

[Caller or Listener]

Good morning. How are you, sir?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm good. So you got a 16 vet. It says 3 TC. Did it mean to say 3 LZ?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir. That's correct. Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Convertible or a hard top?

[Caller or Listener]

Convertible.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, hang on a second. Let me change that. It's kind of. What color?

[Caller or Listener]

It's black on black with the red stitching in the leather.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Stick or automatic?

[Caller or Listener]

It's automatic. Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And the miles are 16. Have you swapped the tires yet?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. How long ago?

[Caller or Listener]

Two months ago. All right, maybe three.

[John Clay Wolfe]

They just, you know, they wear out quick on those.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, they do.

[John Clay Wolfe]

With that big, wide footprint.

[Caller or Listener]

They really do.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm gonna look something else up real quick because the rebates on those cars kind of have things squirrely, too. I mean. And we're off there, so I'm not in a big hurry. 16. I'm gonna look at my computer here. Chevrolet cars. Corvette convertible ZO6, automatic. 16,000 miles. Here's the options.

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So it's a 3LZ, so it's got navigation and it's an automatic. They have competition seats, chrome wheels. C7 special edition and Z07 performance.

[Caller or Listener]

No, no, no. It doesn't have that. It's got the. A comfortable seat.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. It's all good.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. I just want to short bit. So six. I mean, it's 60 grand is what I'm thinking. Hang on just a second. We look at MMR real quick.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, I paid 100 grand two years ago.

[John Clay Wolfe]

A. Isn't that something else? Dude, I had a dealer trying to sell me one for there. There. There's several different versions, but the rebates got real high because they just weren't moving. They're awesome cars. They're just. Just too damn expensive.

[Caller or Listener]

This thing is like garage cap. It looks showroom condition. Excellent. So I'll baby it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

If 60 grand will buy it, I'll buy it.

[Caller or Listener]

I did your online thing, and you shot me 62.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. Does that buy?

[Caller or Listener]

Huh?

[John Clay Wolfe]

You should have been talking to my people. They're better buyers than me. I'm glad we took this one off the air. Well, my guys don't know what I know in the damn thing. I'm serious.

[Caller or Listener]

And if I was hoping to get like, 65 with you direct, you know?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, I just. I just. If it had 3,000 miles on it, and not that 16's high, but when you get into cars like this, you know, they're heavies. You know, Ferraris and. And special cars. When they get over 10,000 miles, it's weird. It changes things. If we bid 62, I'll give this. I'm gonna do what we said we'll do, so.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay.

[Jenny]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

If that works, just right back accept. And they'll. What.

[Caller or Listener]

What do y' all do? In and out? Do y' all do in and out?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes. Where are you gonna trade?

[Caller or Listener]

Probably at a Ford dealership.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, you can just sell it to me now if you want, and we can hold your tax credit, and then we can do the in and out. What city are you in?

[Caller or Listener]

Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Sure. I know plenty of Ford dealers down there up here too. So if. What I'm saying is, if you want to go and sell it, you're not ready to do your trade. We can hold. We can park your tax credit, and.

[Caller or Listener]

Then you can do that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay. And you'll honor the.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I mean, like, now. I'm not. I can't do it whenever.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes. So here's what we do. We. We. We buy it from you for 62, and then when you do your other deal, we'll do the paperwork, pass through.

[Caller or Listener]

At the 62 Ah, gotcha. Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolfe]

All right.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Let me know.

[Caller or Listener]

All right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Thanks, man.

[Caller or Listener]

Thank you, sir.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes, sir.

[Caller or Listener]

Sam.

[Producer or Announcer]

Now back to the John clay wolf show.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Mike, an 11 Tacoma with 62. Is it a four door or an extended cab? Mike, with the tacoma, is your truck a four door or a extended cab?

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, John, it's a four door.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Does it have the steel wheels or the pretty wheels?

[Caller or Listener]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's not.

[Caller or Listener]

[John Clay Wolfe]

How does he talk? Let's talk to him. Where's the bathroom. I really gotta go. Hey baby. Ron and Dallas at Oo Porsche 911 cab we dropped off with you 75,000 miles. Does it have a stick or is an automatic?

[Caller or Listener]

Six speed?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Stick. And average rough or clean?

[Caller or Listener]

I'd say it's. It's clean. It's a nice car.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, it's. Does it have any oil leaks?

[Caller or Listener]

No.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. Does it have any. Check engine lights. Any, any. Anything that you know what it cost to work on these things? It's just a fortune.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, it's. It's got two or three little things I can. If you want to go into detail. If you've ever seen these era cars have the LCD displayed, they'll lose a character every now. It's got that kind of issue on the two. Two numbers of the odometer and one on the temperature control. It's got one little scratch about an 18 inch scratch down below on the quarter panel on the passenger sides. But other than that it's got a good top and the rest of the paint job is really nice and shiny. Stays. I've had it for four years.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Did you say it's Arrow? Did you say it's a Arrow kit?

[Caller or Listener]

Excuse me?

[John Clay Wolfe]

You said Arrow car. Is it an Arrow kit? Arrow A E R O.

[Caller or Listener]

No, I don't. I didn't say that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm sorry. It's okay. Cuz that, that. That's a. That's a more. That. That. That's worth more value. Just got more spoilers and stuff. I think it's a 10 to $11,000 rig. Maybe 12.

[Caller or Listener]

That's the top. Yeah. Yep. I'm trying to get up in the $14,000 range. But I'm ready to have clear titles.

I hope you're sitting down because it's worth. You're not gonna like this. Right Pete? You're not gonna like this, Pete. What? Would you rather me just not bid it and we stay friends?

[Caller or Listener]

I was kind of expecting. I've been watching Blue book or checking Blue Book online and yeah, nada. And I'm not real happy with what I saw.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, I'm. Then if you're not happy with what the lie they're telling you. Yeah. Then you're really not gonna be happy with the truth that I got and it ain't good, it's bad news. If you have any feelings towards this car whatsoever, any in laws or cousins or nephews or neighbors that you want to give it to, you'd feel better about doing that than what I'm going to give you for it. There's no resale on them. They break, they cost too much. The people that will drive it, it cost too much to keep it maintained. It's not worth, it's almost worth nothing, as crazy as that sounds. Parts, the parts are worth more than the car. I'm, I, I'm a $500 buyer. Wow. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.

[Jenny]

That hurt.

[John Clay Wolfe]

800 boy.

[Jenny]

Yeah, the father was gonna hurt, but then it hurt.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You know. I was planning on slowing down my beer content, but that has not happened lately.

[Jenny]

Oh really? Are you increasing?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. Why? I've got so much on my plate right now. I think I'm, I'm think I'm trying. I think I'm using it as a. A decompression device.

[Jenny]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Jenny]

Very common.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What's the most place you've ever gotten drunk and passed out? Bobbo? Craziest place.

[Turley]

What?

[Bobbo Bavo]

You know what? It was a long time ago. And I'll try to make this a quick story. When I was 19, 20 years old, I was on the air in my hometown during the six to midnight show and I had a band, we played Wichita Falls quite frequently. So I had a Friday night on. We did equipment run up to Wichita Falls on a Friday afternoon.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Where was it? Dude?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Coming home after a gig with my girlfriend in my car. We pulled off in Bellevue, Texas to make out. Get it on.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, good for you.

[Bobbo Bavo]

And both of us have been up for like 30 hours. We fell asleep in the, in the process.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh man.

[Bobbo Bavo]

And then woke up like four hours later sitting in this parking lot.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Same positions.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Yeah. At 5am in the morning.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Were you holding her nicely? Yeah.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Jenny, where's the weirdest place you passed down?

[Jenny]

I was their millionaire's house at a party and somebody gave me something called. I never heard of it before. I've never tried it since ghb. And it mixed it with some alcohol and I laid down. He has. You see those, those railroad ties that people have in their backyards? I, for whatever reason about 2:30 in the morning I decided to take a nap on that with my arms back over my head just like I was.

[John Clay Wolfe]

In a lobby looking up at the sky.

[Jenny]

Looking at the sky and they thought I'd left the Party. So everybody was in the house. The sprinklers came on at 5:30 in the morning. They're now leaving. They see my car still in the street. They go to look for me. They go, he's still here. Holy crap, where is he? They look through all the house. They find me in the backyard with my arms still behind my head with the sprinklers going on, just soaking.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's awesome. Mine was an SAE party. A rush party.

[Jenny]

Oh, rush party.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. In Austin, after high school, friend of mine, Wesley and I went down there and I woke up under. There was a Christmas tree in the. In the fraternity house. And on the top it had a large projectile device that simulates.

[Jenny]

I've seen it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Women. A man's.

[Jenny]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, gotcha.

[Jenny]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It had a big D on the.

[Jenny]

Top of the tree.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And I somehow for some reason, crawled under the tree, of course, to get something. And I woke up under that tree tree the next morning.

[Jenny]

That's almost.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's almost festival.

[Jenny]

It's almost festive.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Jenny]

Oh, man. Me, Michael.

[Turley]

Mine was. It's not too proud of a moment for me. It was the first time I actually got high and it was taken to a rave. Went to this rave. This is. This is back when they had. In the warehouses and everything in Dallas. And I remember walking into this rave and everything was just really crazy. Well, I got sleepy and I decided to go. Go into a little corner and just sit down. I woke up and I had glow sticks all around me. I had some mask that was like. You know those masks I guess you use put out there? It was like I was a holding place for people. I didn't. And it was. God, it had to been an hour later at least since. When I woke from the time I fell asleep and friends found me and they dragged me out, it was daylight. When I woke, I was like, what the hell? How long has this been?

[Bobbo Bavo]

So.

[Turley]

Yeah, it was not a problem moment.

[John Clay Wolfe]

We're doing a of piece PSA here, in case y' all haven't noticed. Yeah, we're giving you warnings on what not to do. Bob and Katie, where's the craziest place you passed out?

[Caller or Listener]

Sorry, what was that?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Where's the craziest place that you've passed out?

[Caller or Listener]

Oh, it's gonna be probably a train ride downtown.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's not crazy. That's just. This is sleepy. A 13 charger with 45. It's SRT 8. What color is it?

[Caller or Listener]

[Caller or Listener]

Does that buy it a little low? Sorry.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What's it take to buy it?

[Caller or Listener]

24.

[John Clay Wolfe]

A little high. Sorry. It's a little high. The good news is, Bob, is you still have your car and I still have my money. But if you want to meet in the middle like that bad country song, I'll consider that. All right.

[Caller or Listener]

I have had a 23. I've had a 23 offer from one of the big. The big majors. And that's. That's. I'm literally going to trade it in today. I thought so. I heard your show and I figured I'd try.

[Jenny]

We up late last night. Did you party again?

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, no, no, no. I just took the wife to dinner. We went to this movie. I forgot. What was the name of it? I told you earlier, Bob.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I can't remember. It's long.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's a long. Roman. It's. It's a. It's Denzel Washington. It's not Denzel Washington. It's someone else.

[Bobbo Bavo]

No, it is though.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, it's not. It's a black lawyer. That was a spec. It's a great story in Roman St. James or something like that. Also, remember, we buy RVs and we buy motorcycles. Yes, even in the wintertime. You can get [e-mail] we have a RV specialist and a motorcycle specialist and we'll assign it to them and they will contact you.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Roman J. Israel, Esquire. That is Denzel Washington.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That is not Denzel.

[Jenny]

It is.

[Bobbo Bavo]

He's made up to look so different than his typical self.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, I don't even reckon. I didn't even recognize him. I knew I liked the actor.

[Jenny]

That's who it is.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Sherilyn Beaumont. Tell us your pass out story.

[Caller or Listener]

Late 70s at the university of Oklahoma. I was in a sorority, went to a fraternity party across the street, had a little too much, passed out. They put me in a blanket, carried me across the street to my sorority, put me on the front porch, rang the doorbell. My sorority sisters opened the door, drug me up the stairs to the first floor landing, put me on the couch on the first floor landing. I woke up the next morning with a flower in my hand. My hands crossed my chest to the maid vacuuming around me.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Nice.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Thank you for sharing, Cheryl.

[Jenny]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolfe]

The first step is to share. You know, in college we did do the proverbial we. We took a guy that was passed out and put him in a recliner and set him out in the front yard and put all of his, you know, his, his bed stuff around him, his night in the lamps. We set up his bedroom in the front yard in. And then the sprinklers did.

[Jenny]

It takes a lot of time and energy considering you're probably drunk.

[John Clay Wolfe]

But when it's three in the morning.

[Jenny]

I mean, what do you got to do?

[John Clay Wolfe]

The bars are closed. You have nothing else to do but do fun stuff like that. Denham Springs, Louisiana pass out story was probably going to be better than like Texas, Texas or Oklahoma passed out stories. Mike, are you there?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, I am.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Remember, we're on public broadcast airwaves. You got to keep it somewhat clean.

[Caller or Listener]

I Understand that. I was thinking. Me and my friends were stationed over in Germany. This is back in the 1984. And we went to Italy on leave. And we got tuned up at a campground. And one of my friends, Tommy, the next morning, woke up, I want to say, in the buff, in the camera, wandering around. He was with. With. With some girl. And then he got up to go to the bathroom at night. He couldn't find his way back up. Naked out there in the middle of the campground the next morning. So that was a pretty good.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Did you get shot by any Nazis? No, That's a success. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4, 8.

[Jenny]

This is all leading up to our Christmas party. You're telling people not to get overdo it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What are you doing? It's just to sell it. Just to pace yourself. Pace yourself. Especially parties. You know, those holiday parties.

[Jenny]

You don't want to embarrass yourself in front of the boss. I've had parties, radio parties, where the intern, the lowest guy in the room, stood up immediately after the CEO, president of the company, did his, you know, well, this is a marvelous year. Immediately stands up and goes, let me talk about radio. Oh, Jesus, an intern.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What he said.

[Jenny]

He just rambled and stumbled and. Oh, it was terrible. Everybody's like, shut up.

[Turley]

That's so uncomfortable.

[Jenny]

So uncomfortable. So don't do that at the Christmas party now.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And don't flirt with.

[Jenny]

Don't flirt.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Don't flirt anybody. Don't flirt with anybody. What happens is a lot of these ladies that work real hard during the, you know, year, and they, you know, their moms and their wives, and they get to the Christmas party and they get that. That third one in them and let's do some shots of tequila. That is our message today. Don't do shots. Repeat after me, boys and girls. Don't do shots. They'll get you in trouble and they'll cost you money. Yeah, buddy.

[Jenny]

There's no good story that ends that way. Then I did a bunch of shots and it was a wonderful evening.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Hannah, Hannah, Hannah, our in house lady. What's the scary. Yeah, what, What's. What's the. What's the Christmas party like at your place? I'm gonna do shots anyway.

[Jenny]

You're gonna do shots?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm not living without shots.

[Commercial Voice or Promo Announcer]

That's crazy.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You live without shots.

[Jenny]

Yeah, well, a dancer in shots. I think it's a whole different thing, but go ahead.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Here's what you boys in radio don't.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Understand is I am an entertainer.

[Jenny]

Yes, you are.

[Caller or Listener]

And I have to Take the pressure.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Off and the tension.

[Jenny]

You're an entertainer. You walk around in high heels to rock music.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's what the shots are for.

[Jenny]

That's entertaining.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I have sore knees and sore ankles and lots of dollars. That's how it's done. Do you have health insurance?

[Jenny]

I mean, John talked about $2,400 a month for his family. Do you have it?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Health insurance?

[Jenny]

What are you talking about? Yeah, fall off the stage.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I think I'm in a higher tax bracket probably than you guys.

[Jenny]

That's probably true.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm telling you, J.D. like, normal health insurance now is 1500. Oh, my God. And I remember when it was 1500 for us, and I thought that was crazy. And that's a thousand more. Oh, my Lord. This. I mean, they're just going to get the barrier of entry up so high that nobody has insurance, and everybody's going to wind up at the public hospitals and cost the government even more money. It's the. I don't know about the tax bill.

[Jenny]

I don't have it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

But I'm telling you, this insurance thing now that Obamacare is. Is like matured out and perked and blown up, it has turned into a disaster. And I'm not doing the Republican, Democrat move here. I'm just telling you the truth.

[Jenny]

Not bad politics.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Talking to these insurance guys that sell insurance. They're like, we don't know what to do. It's out of hand. I mean, it's out of control. The deductibles are so high. The prices are so high. There's got to be a policy where you can just buy disaster insurance. Take your $1500 month, put it in the bank and escrow it like taxes. Just escrow your insurance, then pay for all your stuff and then just, you know, 500amonth for disaster insurance for cancer a year.

[Jenny]

Yeah. In case something bad.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't even think they have that. Well, that's what I was trying to do. I don't know. It's a mess. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Hey, Wayne. A 98 Ranger is probably 500 bucks.

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolfe]

98 Ranger with 200,000 miles on it's about big. Whopping $500. Bill, nine times out of ten.

[Caller or Listener]

What now?

[John Clay Wolfe]

500.

[Caller or Listener]

500.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's a 98 Ranger with 200,000 miles. The Mexicans don't even want to drive them.

[Caller or Listener]

Oh, I've been offered 2,000 for it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Then why wouldn't you sell it? What? I mean, come on, Wayne, let's talk turkey here. Somebody comes up and offers you $2,000 on a 200,000 mile 20 year old Ranger. And you saying what you said, no, I want more.

[Caller or Listener]

I was asking for a hundred, a couple hundred more.

[Turley]

But.

[Caller or Listener]

He insisted he was going to give me 2,000 that one morning I was asking 200 more.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You lost him. That's what you did. You lost him. You learned. You learned. First money's your best money, guys. If you don't believe me, ask wayne. We'll give you your first money. Give me the vin.comGiveMeThe vin.com is where you go to sell us your car. A car like wayne's. Our system will not automatically bid it because it's so old and so mild out and such a piece of junk. Okay, this. Anything over 115,000 miles, it won't auto bid. And anything over $50,000, it won't auto bid. We do those by hand.

[Jenny]

Okay, makes sense.

[John Clay Wolfe]

But if. But so. But 80% of the cars, it automatically bids them right then. And I increased. I turned up the dial on the bidding on the machine because I need more cars because we're moving auctions. We're going to dallas auto auction. We're starting at dallas auto auction this Wednesday morning. Coming up. I need a ton of cars for this and then the christmas sales the next week. So we're buying with both hands like mad men and blinders. So go to givemetheven.com and any deal that makes any sense at all, I'm gonna take it because I'm wanting. I need to buy about 400 cars in the next 10 days. Whoa. All right. My name is john clay wolf and I buy cars in the air. Bobbo, remember the podcast, JD it'll be on here this afternoon.

So you're in Cypress, Texas, Houston. Yes. And you got a story for us about a bread pillow?

[Caller or Listener]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Catch me up.

[Caller or Listener]

So, couple years ago, when the Bud Light limaritas came out.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

Me and my best friend decided, you know, let's just kill a pack of these. No big deal, right? Well, I go to the bathroom to vomit, of course.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Sounds like Bob O's kind of woman.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah.

[Jenny]

Nice endorsement.

[Caller or Listener]

My friend brings me a cup of water and a loaf of bread to keep me, you know, not sick. And instead of eating the bread, I just used it as a pillow and passed out right on the bathroom floor next to the toilet. Everyone in the that was at the party just continued to use the restroom. You passed out on the floor.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You know, it's funny you bring that up, because I had a bar when we were in college in Fort Worth, and I had seen that. Not the bread pillow, but that exact scene where you had some. Some young ladies. There's typically ladies that would just pass out in the bathroom and everybody just keep trucking, man. Hey, there was one night we would be clean. We'd be cleaning up after the bar closed 2am you pull all the booths out and sweep out. And I'd find people under there. Oh, my God. Really? Swear to God, man.

[Jenny]

Nice and quiet.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So, Amy, what. What? What's a sweet, cute girl like you listening to a bunch of bad guys like us?

[Caller or Listener]

Oh, I love 945. And hey, I'm. I may be young, but this been my station for years.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good deal. Well, thanks for tuning in. 800-800-7, 2, 3, 4.

[Jenny]

Too funny.

[John Clay Wolfe]

800, 800. No, we really would find people under.

[Jenny]

Under the.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Under the. Under the bl. Under the booze.

[Jenny]

Well, it makes sense.

[Commercial Voice or Promo Announcer]

It was qu.

[Jenny]

I mean, it was as quiet as you can get. It was dark, nobody could see them.

[John Clay Wolfe]

But who knows how long they'd been there? I'm serious.

[Jenny]

Well, not days, probably.

[John Clay Wolfe]

We had these booths that I. There. There was a restaurant called People's. Do you remember that?

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And when they went out of business, we bought all their booths. And they're these high back wooden booths. They were like furniture.

[Jenny]

Yep, I know.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Underneath was open.

[Turley]

Oh, wow, that's way back there, man.

[Jenny]

Yeah, like a little arm.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So they would get under the seats and sleep.

[Jenny]

God, you're like.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You did.

[Turley]

You don't sweep there. Did you sweep every night that far down?

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, we pull the booth off the wall.

[Turley]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And then when you pull the booth off the wall, to sweep. You'd find the people.

[Jenny]

People.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And they were 18 to 21 year old. College people. Sure, they're people too. And they were shaking. Oh yeah. We got calls from moms and dads. Hey, I don't know what kind of deal you're running over there, but I've got three. 300 hundred dollars were the charges at the plaid pig.

[Caller or Listener]

Right?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Fort Worth, Texas. My son is 19 years old. Yeah, he must have a hell of a fake id. What's he using? Yours.

[Jenny]

Right? Well, you look into the bench to see if you can find my kid.

[John Clay Wolfe]

But then on the parents weekends and the game weekends, the parents would come to the bar too.

[Jenny]

Oh yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And they'd get tore up out. Out of the frame, wind up with the band. I remember there's a dad that was a badass guitar player he's playing with. Better than Ezra. One night, jamming his ass off. Oh, it was fun. We had the best time.

[Jenny]

A lot of fights.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, every night. Every night it turned and we had to. That's when we had to bring the cops and like hire the cops one to check the IDs.

[Jenny]

Right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Because as long as the cop checks the ID, then you're cool. And then. And they were there to. To calm the fighting down. Yeah, about a 142 is when the fights would bust.

[Turley]

I don't think you can have a bar like that anymore.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I just don't think they hormone knocked her friend's eye tooth out. Oh, no, he was a. Yeah, your eye tooth a good one. Oh, and it bled. Oh God, did it bleed?

[Jenny]

People do that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

There was a night. I mean, it bled JD More than you can understand.

[Jenny]

I can't even believe it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

There was a night when the Kappa 6 from Austin came up and did a mixer with the Kappa 6 from TCU.

[Jenny]

That just sounds so hot.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And it got so bad and they got in a fight that we had to push everybody. It went out into the street and shut down university. And we like locked the doors just to get them the hell out. Out. And then one of the guys went back and got guns from the fraternity house. Oh, no. Oh, yeah.

[Jenny]

This is like the fight scene in Blazing Saddles where it rolls from one set to the next.

[Caller or Listener]

It did.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It really pushed them out. Really?

[Jenny]

Now you're in the Wild West. Now you're in the dancing.

[Turley]

No, this is like what, the 90s, 1990.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And that's rough times five. Wow, great.

[Turley]

I missed that. I should have been on this side of town.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It was. We had the first. Now it's everywhere but Jagermeister on tap.

[Jenny]

Oh wow. Yeah. And I wish I'd known you then. We would have so much fun.

[John Clay Wolfe]

These rich kids would have their parents credit cards and want to show off and order a picture of Jagermeister for 200, $270.

[Jenny]

Oh my God.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh yeah.

[Jenny]

Literally my stomach just turned.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You would find them sitting like on the table on top of the passed up person in the booth. Cuz they, they couldn't drink. Nobody even trying to get all your buddies.

[Turley]

Did you reuse that?

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, no, no. It's nasty. It was nasty.

[Turley]

Because there's no way they drink all that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

There's no way. No. And Brocker Meyer, who was a UT football player, one of my best friends. Best friends of Stretch.

[Turley]

He's a good friend of yours?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I still talk to him about every three months. Yeah, we were good high school friends. Used to go to lunch. Yeah, one of my best friends at the time. Okay. He'd come in there and he was the starting tackle for UT and he would bet people on drinking contests until they threw up. And then one guy got him one night as a stopper and said if you drink this whole pitcher of beer through a straw, I'll pay you a hundred dollars. And before he got to the end of that picture beer, he puked all over the place. So there's something about the pressure of drinking beer through a straw, right?

[Jenny]

The foam that creates more because it's the bubbles.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't know. But you cannot do it.

[Jenny]

You can't do it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I mean, if anybody could do it.

[Jenny]

It'S like drinking a gallon of milk. You cannot drink a gallon of milk in one sitting. You will puke, puke, puke. There's tons of videos on it. Trust me.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You can't drink a pitcher of Jagermeister either. Oh God. Not dying Gold Schloger. Do you remember Gold Schlager?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Oh man, I did that one time.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That was pre Fireball.

[Bobbo Bavo]

That used to be my favorite thing. I had a, a big bottle of Goldslagger kept in my freezer all the time. It was just New Year's Eve. Me and my girl were hanging around. Wound up at Scotty's house actually. Remember Scotty? Scotty Preston went over to his house at like 2 in the morning or something and I didn't remember. I woke up the next day, his wife called and said get over here and clean my bathroom because it was gold plated all over the place.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh yeah.

[Jenny]

This segment of the show brought to.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You by Coors Light and glaziers, distributors, they handled all the liquor.

[Jenny]

Liquor.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And we did. But the only. The. The only shady things I ever did as a barkeep was serve. Well, it wasn't shady. It was just necessity.

[Jenny]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So after you run out of beer, okay, and you've got a bunch of Natty Light in kegs, too, you just swap them. Just keep rolling. Because if you start trying to say, well, all we got left is. And then everybody starts bitching. So you just swap. Just put the Natty Light on the. On the Miller taps and roll.

[Turley]

Nobody go drunk by then. They don't care.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm talking like the. The last stretch, the 130 to the third.

[Jenny]

This just tastes like Natty Light.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't know that.

[Jenny]

It's Coors Light. Are you sure?

[John Clay Wolfe]

And Jack Black versus Jack Green. I mean, really, what's the difference? Besides price?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Well, it used to be black was 96 proof and green has always been 80 proof.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Ah, used to be.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Now black is 80 proof, too.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't know. Okay, so I don't know. John and Haslet, good morning. You're on the air. You there, bud? You've been holding a while. I think I lost him. I don't blame him. Go. Go to the. Go to the website and put it in 12F250 lariat, four wheel drive, diesel, leather nav. No roof, Will.

[Caller or Listener]

No roof.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What color?

[Caller or Listener]

Black.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Do you want to sell it or are you just talking?

[Caller or Listener]

No, I'm. I'm actually looking at getting a new one. So I'm either going to trade it in or sell it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. Do you have a title? Is there a payoff?

[Caller or Listener]

There's a payoff.

[John Clay Wolfe]

How much?

[Caller or Listener]

I'm not sure. Off the top of my head, I would guess around 30.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, and that's exactly what the money is in my. My. I think third with that roof, you know it's a 30 to 32 truck.

[Caller or Listener]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. And I'll buy it. You'll negotiate a better deal at the dealership. If you're negotiating from cash. This I can promise you. So if you sell it to us and then you go in there and you're just buying your car, your truck, without a trade, you're going to get a better deal.

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolfe]

All right, man. Go to givemetheven.com. load it up. Tell us. Let me look at some pictures, and I'll email you an offer letter.

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir. I'll load it up.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Thanks, Will. Load it up.

[Caller or Listener]

Get it out of here.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Maybe we should let mixing bid this one. He loves these 258,000mile 06F 250s.

[Jenny]

Who is mixing now, Bob?

[John Clay Wolfe]

He. We went through. We went through a period when, when. When I had a lot of these buyers. You know, they know the cars and this, that. But the diesel market is different.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh yeah. Some are real high and some are real low and you've got to know the difference. And these six liters with big, big miles are not real high. No. And you can hang yourself in them. Especially an extended cab. Hey, Connor. I know you're not gonna like my number on this.

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You're gonna hate me. You're gonna hate me.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay, we got.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's a 06 extended cab. Is it XLT or Lariat or XL or what?

[Caller or Listener]

It's actually a rare model. I've only seen a few of them. It's a XLT sport. Got the carbon fiber trim with black leather interior.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, so it's got some look to it.

[Caller or Listener]

Well, got the ox lifter. It's got factory color match bumpers. But I just put brand new ranch hands on it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What about the inj? Is it a diesel?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir, it's a diesel.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Tell me about the engine because that's the problem with this damn six liter with miles on it. Has it been bulletproof?

[Caller or Listener]

And I went through that and I've spent four grand thousand dollars in the motor.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

[Caller or Listener]

Got ARP studs, brand new injectors. It's got all the six, zero problems resolved.

[John Clay Wolfe]

The truck's worth less than what you spent on it. Yeah. You know the real wholesale money on that thing's five to six grand.

[Caller or Listener]

Five, six grand. Okay, okay. All right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That works. Hey, where's Allen? Texas. That's north of dfw. Yeah, yeah. That's where the big high school state. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, exactly.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Thanks, man. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Good morning, Arkansas.

[Turley]

28 million dollar high school stadium they have there.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good morning, Louisiana.

[Jenny]

My God.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good morning, Houston, Texas. Good morning Wichita Falls, Abilene. And of course Amahilo, San Antonio, Austin. Hat tip to y' all too. I think we're on in San Antonio and Austin here now. Or four. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get confused.

[Jenny]

You're in too many places.

[John Clay Wolfe]

We are in too many places. I don't know about all that. What's in the news, boss?

[Jenny]

I see here in Salt Lake City, Utah this week, four people. You'll enjoy this story, John. Four people were arrested after being found in four Teslas. They had stolen four different people.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Tesla was lucky that they got stolen. Who did they steal them from? A dealer.

[Jenny]

You're ruining my thing. From a local dealership. One of those arrested was Shane Smith, who told officers that a guy he hardly knew gave him a free Tesla along with three other keys and the keys to the dealership. All four thieves claimed they were actually on their way back to the dealership to return the cars after a 20 minute joyride because they realized what a piece of crap the vehicles were.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I appreciate the punchline, but the story was true.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

This.

[Jenny]

They actually did this. Some guy gave him the keys to the dealership and they stole four different guys. Stole, stored. Stole four different.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Did he tell them to take the cars?

[Jenny]

The. The. Apparently it's. It's the guy who gave him. Didn't own them. Yeah. Insurance, right?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Turley]

Can't sell them.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's the only way you could sell a Tesla for like, market value. Like the book. Like book value is sell them to the insurance company, coincidentally.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Do you know who's on the COVID of Rolling Stone this week?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I am sure it's Elon Musk. It is then. What's his story this week? He's a scammer, dude.

[Turley]

This is what he's doing for Puerto Rico, Helping out.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Turley]

Getting electricity for him.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He's running. He is running all kinds of campaigns to keep the focus off the fact that the Model 3 is not being produced and that the cars, well, I mean, they just can't get it together. Right. None. None of the benchmarks that they plan to hit have hit. And I don't know, I mean, I hate to mean, the guy's obviously smarter than we all are because he's pulled this off to the level he has. And he's a space cowboy like Steve Miller saying about, you know, he's got his Rocket X company. He did PayPal or was.

[Jenny]

He's done some things right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Jenny]

Maybe the Tesla's not it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

To say he's an idiot would be a false statement.

[Turley]

Yeah. He's got one big problem.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, the big problem is. But the real big problem is everything. Everybody else can make them too. And the Toyota versions and the. Look at the Nissan Leaf. How many of those they sell now? None. Look at what, like a 16 Nissan Leafs worth three grand? Nobody wants them. Nobody wants them.

[Turley]

They haven't been perfect. Everyone can make it, but they haven't perfected it yet.

[John Clay Wolfe]

The reason that, you know, Volvo was going all electric, which is stupid. They just got out of bankruptcy and now they're Gonna go broke again.

[Jenny]

Let's go electric.

[Turley]

They are too now, huh?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, they're going all electric. All electric. How do you do that?

[Jenny]

You can't.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You can't do that. So does Volvo is a publicly traded stock because we need to short it right now.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Right, right, right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's over. And Volvos are great. Volvos are wonderful. But it'll be the demise this will be. I can't believe what I'm saying is true. Somebody verify that. I've heard it several times. But if Volvo is really going all electric and doing away with normally aspirated, they're so done. And if they don't believe them, call Elon Musk.

[Turley]

Ask him could it work just because it's overseas for them? Europe and Sweden, stuff like that. They sell enough to make it right here.

[Jenny]

Volvo to go all Electric starting 2019.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And they still have some time to come off the alcohol.

[Turley]

Yeah. What do the Swedes do? They drink a lot out there.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, it's just, I mean, fuel's high over there. I mean there's no, you know, it's sold by the leader and it's very expensive over in Europe. There's no doubt. But that's why they all run diesel technology over there. Awesome diesels in Europe that get crazy gas mileage and they're fast. And that's what we'll move to before we go electric. Nobody's gonna do it. People do it to be cool now.

[Jenny]

Yeah, absolutely.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And that's the only reason they're doing it. Nobody wants it. Just like nobody wants to listen to you JD anymore. That's why we got to go. We'll be right back.

[Jenny]

Take a break then.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, good for you. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy. I heard an SOB all morning.

[Turley]

You know what? That's my fault.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You were a little preoccupied earlier today, Charlie.

[Jenny]

Good job, by the way.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You're like, sully. Yeah, Sully. He landed it safely in the Hudson River.

[Bobbo Bavo]

He scared me, man. Before you guys showed up this morning when. When he first saw that there was a problem. I've never seen you in that close to panic mode in my life. Turley, he's pretty cool. Cool being right when we got.

[Turley]

What was my panic mode?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Me cussing when we got in here or when Turley got in here this morning to get the set for the show in the studio. All. But it wouldn't power up properly, and the show wouldn't work. So the first hour was a pre record that's sitting in the satellite. Is that correct?

[Turley]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's pretty cool. To a panic switch. And it starts to show and triggers properly. And people were texting us and talking like, oh, a great show this morning. Like, good. It's an old one or a mix match to the old one.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Y' all sound great.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Y' all are sounding great. What's wrong with y', all, man? Oh, God Almighty. Hey, I'll tell you a story, okay? Oh, story time.

[Jenny]

Story time.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So there's a. There's a Porsche dealer. There's a Porsche dealer in Houston, okay? And a Guy takes a 911 in there for some service work, and he misses his. I know this guy. He misses his appointment by 10 minutes.

[Jenny]

10 minutes.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So they tell him to. It'll be six hours or four hours. Wow. And he's like, okay, I'll just send somebody over here to wait on it. So he calls a guy that works for him, and this guy's kind of a crusty old duck, okay? And the nickname of his assistant is Fro.

[Turley]

Fro.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Fro.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Hey, Fro come down here to blah, blah, blah. Porsche. Told him the situation. He's like, I don't care if you got your kids. Just bring them. Bring them. All y' all just sitting here in the waiting room, wait on this car. Jeez. So. So he leaves. Fro comes in and brings two little kids in diapers, no clothes on. Big mama, big mama. And they've all got whataburger. And they're sitting there in the waiting room in the Porsche deal. And the kids have their hamburger hands and all over the TV. All over the TVs. Seventeen minutes later, that car was ready. And then Fro didn't have the credit card so he called him back. He said, like, hey, I got to go get the credit card. I'm going to leave them here. And they said, you know what? It's on us. Brilliant. He knew what he was doing. Pretty, pretty.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Pretty smart.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes. You want to screw me around like that? That's fine. I'll just send some help. That's great. Colon in the Calvary. Unbelievable. Chris. Baton Rouge pass out.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

So I woke up on a balcony that was above my buddy's balcony on a bar stool, leaning on the rail. No one knew where the barstool came from.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So. Hang on, but you were leaning on the bar stool?

[Caller or Listener]

I was sitting on the bar stool, laying on the rail.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, God.

[Caller or Listener]

My head was resting on my arms on the rail of the balcony.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So, like, three stories up.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, yeah, I was on. I ended up on the third floor, and they were. My buddies lived on the second floor.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So were shots involved?

[Caller or Listener]

More than likely.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And what city were we in? This. This.

[Caller or Listener]

I was in Baton Rouge. I was three blocks off of LSU campus.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Who's LSU playing today? Oh, nobody. Ouch.

[Caller or Listener]

No, no.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Hey, I'm. They are.

[Caller or Listener]

They are playing with their self on the couch.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I.

[Caller or Listener]

All right, guys. I've enjoyed y' all for probably five years now, so y' all have a good day.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Thank you, Chris. We've only been on the stage. Well, no, no, no. If he's listening. We've only been on the Eagle for a year, but we've been on that Lafayette station about three years. Planet Radio?

[Turley]

Yeah, Planet Radio.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's not called Planet Radio now. It's called classic rock. Something. The CH changed it. They got a better lineup? No, it's the Walton Johnson Stick and Lafayette, and then they've got one in Lake Charles. Good morning, Lake Charles. Good morning, Nowens. New. We do a lot of business in New Orleans out that area.

[Turley]

Yeah, not directly in the city, but right around.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, I was looking at our map on the wall of all the stations we're on, and when you look at it, it's kind of. I mean, we got the Gulf coast covered and that we. Maybe a little too much, cuz I don't want cars from Laredo, and I don't want cars from Brownsville, and I don't want cars from Matamoris, and I don't want cars. Hey, man. From Mexico City.

[Turley]

Well, heck, I think that started coming up from when we were on San Antonio. So it must be people that live or work in San Antonio at some point and go travel back that way.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Corpus. I mean, and I'm cool with the nice stuff. I mean, we'll drive to Mexico to get something special, but I'm not going to. Going to Mexico to get a 96F150 with 190,000 miles on. I'm just not gonna do it somewhere. You got to draw the line and say, it's just not worth it.

[Jenny]

That's it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

But you said, yeah, I'll buy it, but you gonna bring it to me. I'm not going to Mexico to pick up a junk car. It's actually the opposite way around. We've always sold the junk cars up here, and they headed to Mexico. You see the Mexican guys, the dealers with them, like, caravan. I saw one the other day where they're bumper to bumper chained up, heading down the NAFTA corridor. Really?

[Turley]

Yeah, I saw that on the way down to McAllen. Yeah. And I didn't believe John, but it was real.

[Jenny]

What do you mean, chained up? Car after car after car.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Have you ever seen. It's like a train. So they put them all in neutral and disconnect the drive lines, more than likely.

[Jenny]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And they chain them bumper to bumper. Actually, if you, if you know exactly the methodology of how this works, call in. I'm confused. They're not tow bars.

[Turley]

It doesn't look very steady at all.

[Jenny]

It seems like one car getting out of line would screw you up.

[John Clay Wolfe]

But, but they, I've seen them. I've seen them in packs of threes and fours, like Explorers, just chained up together like train cars.

[Jenny]

Never seen this.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's true. I, I. How do they make it without getting pulled over?

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Is there 800, 800. 800 it is legal because they wouldn't keep doing it. 800. I want to know, is there a.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Driver in each car?

[Caller or Listener]

No.

[Jenny]

That's the weird part is what if one car. Never mind.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What if a trailer came off a hitch, right?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Because even, even towing one vehicle, somebody's got to be in there, right?

[John Clay Wolfe]

We can get to the bottom this. Highway Patrol. Cops.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Mexican car dealers. 8008-0072-3480-0800-7234, 800, 800 Raiders. Someone call in and explain this phenomenon to me. It looks like a UFO going down the highway. And I don't understand why they're not all pulled over. If I, I had, like, a nice, nice transport rigs, right? That we owned and operated legally, and we got pulled over all the time.

[Jenny]

Why?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Just cdl. Check.

[Caller or Listener]

Weight?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Check. Tire pressure. Check. Fire extinguisher. Check. SL logs on the, on the road. How many hours? And then you see the Mexican guy with four cars chained to his back running down 35 at 70 miles an hour.

[Turley]

The red flag in the last one. So just know, hey, this is the end right here.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller or Listener]

All right. Hey, this is Steve from Baton Rouge. And y' all was talking about the caravans going down the interstate through the NASA corridor. Yes, I drive back and forth from Houston. I drive back and forth between Baton Rouge and Houston a lot. And I've seen. Seen several instances where there were three or four or five school buses with three or four Mitsubishi Tukup trucks shoved up in the back. The back end was actually cut out of the school bus. This thing was going down the interstate. The front wheels were barely touching the ground. And one of those trucks inside was on fire. I'm going down the interstate hoping a trooper don't pull me over. Cause my tail light don't work. And they're passing these guys with one hand over their eyes.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, this is Darrell in Baton Rouge. I heard you guys asking about the Mexican car train.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, I used to live on Highway 77. Grew up there. Seen them my whole life.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good morning. You're on the air. Hello. Hey. Hey. I need somebody that really knows the specifics of this. We know it exists. Do you know the specifics, how this works?

[Caller or Listener]

All right. True story. Two days ago, towing a car. Mexican towing a car about to get on the Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge. Literally had a chain connected to a tow bar with the car in tow, right? Coming around the curb, getting on the bridge. Car comes off and. On the guardrail, dangling over the guardrail. Anything I've ever seen?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good morning. You're on the air. Who's this?

[Caller or Listener]

It's Steve.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Steve. Educate me.

[Caller or Listener]

I'm gonna educate you. Build the wall.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good morning. You're on the air.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Whatever.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Steve, Hello. You're on the air. Yes, it's you.

[Caller or Listener]

Hello? Yeah, y' all keep talking about why you're getting calls out of Laredo and stuff. And you're on the ticket. 760 out of San Antonio, which reaches the Laredo.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I didn't know it made it to Laredo.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, I'm down close to Laredo right now.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And I'm on the radio loud and clear.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, loud and clear, man.

[John Clay Wolfe]

We're gonna have to set up a Mexican substation and. And. And if we're going to be buying cars out of Laredo, I need to get one of these transporters that's so crafty to bring it home.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Why not?

[John Clay Wolfe]

We'll just do the Mexican train backwards. Coming in.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

All right. Now, I know. I got.

[Caller or Listener]

Man, I don't have a truck or anything.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Thank you. Good morning. You're on the air. Hello.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, I work for an auto auction, and I'm I'm kind of used to seeing them set them things up in my parking lot.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good. You're who I want to talk to. How do they do it?

[Caller or Listener]

Well, depends on the type of vehicle.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Like, I've seen them.

[Caller or Listener]

I've seen them, like, put U hauls all together, you know, chain them with crossbars. But most of the time, what they do for the small cars, they take the bumpers off of them. They chain them up right to the front bumper mount, and then they bolt that to another chain, and then they chain them to the back end of the next one in line. They write in tow. Sometimes they spell it right, sometimes they don't. And then they pull them out. Seat belt strap. Seat belt strap to the steering wheel and everything. Everything else.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So how does it. How does it pass muster with the highway patrol?

[Caller or Listener]

Man, it honestly has got to be one of those things where they just like, I don't want to deal with this. And I know how much this is going to cost me to handle because, like, you see them all the time going up and down.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I.

[Caller or Listener]

10 right. Up and down 59. Right. And I mean, I don't work for a major, major auto auction, but I sell. I sell pretty shitty cars. So, you know, it's all I get. Are those guys coming in and out or they're going down to Galveston. Then put them on a transport.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You know, that is your customer base. That is your niche in the market. It's borderline salvage. It's salvage that will start is what it is. Salvage with an engine. Good morning. You're on the air. Hello? Hello? Hello, Hello. Hey, you're on the air. I got 21 seconds. Go. Yep, it's you. That's. Okay. Well, chains, we need to. We need to pick this back up next Saturday and get to the bottom of the law. We might do a little research, actually do show prep for this. No, because this is serious stuff.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm glad y' all called me.

[Jenny]

So bizarre you were gone, man.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I thought we were done.

[Bobbo Bavo]

So during the break, we were all talking. JD And I actually went next door the in the office building and I filled up coffee.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I threw my dip out, clean my shoes on.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I left right about an eight minute break or something. We come back weekend and everybody's headphoning up. John is sitting in the corner listening to the Spinners on his cell phone like he's been doing all morning long. And Turley's like, you ready, John? And John's like, for what? We're still on another half hour, man, you know? Well, 20 minutes.

[Jenny]

12 minutes, actually, but who's counting?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I've got nothing we ain't done yet. I completely cleaned my brain of content. I thought we were done. I don't know how I got off off time that bad. This never happened. And how many years of him doing this? 11 years.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Yeah, he prefers to shut down a half hour early, especially on Saturdays.

[Jenny]

The world's biggest.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And I was thinking, I was thinking that TCU games should be further along than it is.

[Jenny]

You just had a time warp, man.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Where, where, where is it? Just kicked off. Yeah.

[Turley]

11:30 is when it was supposed to kick off.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. So what's happening? Do we know?

[Turley]

It got a little late start, I guess. So it had.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Baker Mayfield is a.

[Caller or Listener]

Wel.

[Turley]

I. I hope TCU beats him because I. I can't. I mean, the guy is just so cocky.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He's good. He's Johnny Manzel, but not as good. He's not as good as Johnny was in college.

[Turley]

You don't think so?

[John Clay Wolfe]

He can't scramble like Johnny. Manny a better thrower than John. Johnny Manzel's here in the studio with us. Johnny Manzel. They're comparing you to Baker Mayfield, man.

[Jenny]

Like Johnny Football, man. We love you, man. We love you.

[John Clay Wolfe]

These you silly goofy bastards, man.

[Jenny]

So where are you doing these days, man? Are you in Colorado, hanging out or you here. I mean, living.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Glad you asked me about that. Vd, Right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Sitting around vd. What's his. What's his. What is your name?

[Jenny]

JD Thought it was vd. I got a problem. It's funny, I got.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I'm glad you asked me because I've been studying anthropology.

[Jenny]

Anthropology for a little while because I.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Thought I might get a job with Pizza Hut Corporate.

[Jenny]

How's anthropology tied into pizza?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Because not everybody likes anthropologies on their pizzas, man. Like equal opportunity meat lovers. Got you.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Pepperoni guy, man.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So Baker Mayfield, it. I mean, I. I don't see the comparison at all. What? Turley, you're surprised? Why do you think he's. Cuz.

[Turley]

He's a better thrower, okay? The Manzo.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's why I haven't looked at his stats.

[Turley]

I mean, I. I haven't looked at Johnny, but I know he. His stats are as far as a thrower. He's a better throw.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's been so long since Johnny was Johnny that we forgot how good Johnny was. Do you remember Johnny against that Alabama crew, you know, about four years ago when he was breaking like 20 tackles and then throws a TD?

[Turley]

He could make things in. Baker Mayfield does that same thing, too. And they both have that swagger that no one really likes.

[Bobbo Bavo]

And they're both kind of small in stature.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[Turley]

And they're both white. I mean, it's just. It just happens.

[Jenny]

Is Johnny football just the biggest crash and burn in college history?

[John Clay Wolfe]

We have his Cleveland Browns jersey on the wall of the storm studio. An actual Manzel jersey in a frame as the wall of shame in the.

[Turley]

Studio coming out of college football hype. Yes.

[Jenny]

Yeah.

[Turley]

Had to be, because he didn't do.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Anything in the NFL, but the NFL knew it, and that's why they didn't draft him first round.

[Caller or Listener]

They.

[Turley]

He fell. He got in the first round. Cleveland was dumb enough late in the first round.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He did go first round.

[Turley]

That's why he's living off that money, that first round money.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's it. You don't think he snorted it yet? Jim, in Missouri, do you have real information on Mexican car trains?

[Caller or Listener]

Oh, yeah, yeah. I can tell you what this is. It's alien technology out of Area 51. And the Mexicans are alien.

[John Clay Wolfe]

They're aliens. They're. They're Mexican. They're like Aztec. Aztec spirits coming up here and tying cars together, man. All right, makes sense. Makes sense. What city of Missouri in Catsville. I forgot that we're broadcasting. I forgot that we're that we broadcast up there. So the. The Arkansas station makes it to there.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, it's on the. It's on the keg. Yeah, 98. Three.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Got it. You know, why is it that all of our affiliates are like the buzz and the keg, the brew. I mean, what does that say about. And then they give me a hard time about our content. The buzz and the keg and the brew. The buzz, as you say.

[Jenny]

Those are cool spin words for radio stations. Right now I want to listen to the buzz, man. Speaking of buzzes, late this last week marked the fifth anniversary in Colorado's decision to sanction the world's first anything goes commercial pot trade. We all know that's been five years. Five years, by the way, of retail pot coincides now with five years of a homelessness growth in the state that ranks among the highest in the country. So is there any correlation? That's actually not so much. The pot smokers are homeless. They just can't find their house and they don't really care.

[John Clay Wolfe]

But that's a true story, buddy. Good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Where are you calling from?

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, John, how you doing?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good. What city?

[Caller or Listener]

I'm. I'm in Tennessee right now, but I'm from Houston. I'm a truck driver.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, cool. Did you stream us online?

[Caller or Listener]

Yes, sir, the 975 app right now.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Awesome. Tell me your pass out story. I hope it wasn't behind the wheel.

[Jenny]

Oh, jeez.

[Caller or Listener]

No, sir. No, sir. High school varsity football after a game. It's not really where I passed out, cuz I was in the back of my buddy G. But it's when I. The funny thing about it is when I woke up, I walked into the wrong house.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Hey, man, I got a buddy that listens to this. I got a buddy that got a booty call after a party one night.

[Jenny]

Jeez.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And he went and knocked on her door and nobody answered. And he walked in there to go, you know, hook up. And he got shot. And he's dead.

[Jenny]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He was 33 years old.

[Jenny]

More than you know.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. Did you get shot?

[Caller or Listener]

There was a sir.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So you. I take it you didn't get dead in his underwear.

[Caller or Listener]

And he. He jumps up and said, wrong house, boy. He knew there was a punch party next door. And luckily he just let me walk out and I. I'll tell you, I got sobered up real quick.

[John Clay Wolfe]

We had a. My brother had a fraternity party at our house where I live. You know the hay barn where we are? In my house? Sure. Upstairs The. You dropped the bomb on me. The Gap band. They played what? Swear?

[Jenny]

No, you got the Gap Band.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I didn't.

[Turley]

No way.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It was the Kappa Cigs from tcu. They had their luau party at our ranch. On the top of the hay barn was the Gap.

[Jenny]

That's unbelievable.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Everybody went nuts. And my grandmother who lived in my house, I bought her house. And she had a. Not a garden. What do you. A greenhouse. And she heard something in the greenhouse and she opened up and there was some people mating in the greenhouse. Some college kids and she started hollering at them and turned on the water. Water. The sprinklers told me, get out of her. Get away from her greenery.

[Jenny]

Unbelievable.

[Turley]

This was out at.

[John Clay Wolfe]

In. In the hay country, at the hay barn and the Wolf ranch.

[Jenny]

You have such rich kid stories. And then the time we had the gap end at our party.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It was my brother that he. He. It was tcu. I mean, have you not driven through there lately?

[Jenny]

I have.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I have. These kids have. These kids have money.

[Turley]

How much did they pay him?

[Bobbo Bavo]

Them?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't know. I was probably 12. That's the coolest thing to see as.

[Bobbo Bavo]

A 12 year old ever.

[Jenny]

Can you imagine?

[John Clay Wolfe]

And they had kegs. And then there were kegs left over. And the next week was my birthday party. I was in seventh grade. That's exactly right. So my birthday party was the next week and we had at the top of the hay barn and there were still these kegs. And they went and got iced down. My friends did. And we were running down to the calving chute where the kegs were hidden and drinking the. The beer that was a week old. And my dad found out about it and they went and poured them all out. But they didn't pour them all out. They didn't hit them. And he and his friend sat there and drank it.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Man.

[Turley]

Wow. What a story.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Seriously, it's just the truth. 800-800-7234. Man, I made Turley. I. I felt guilty. I. I'll never forget cuz when I me remember I said I used to do concerts in college when we had the bars and I started doing some concerts for fraternities because they always want the bands. And I had all the hookup with the bands. And you can make as much money as the promoter and the private deals as the band makes. Band tells you it costs five grand, you tell the guy it costs ten.

[Jenny]

Okay.

[Caller or Listener]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And then you go to a big concert like where you, you know, get a big act and take all the risk and you lose 20,000. Being a concert promoter is hard. Yeah, it's risky as hell.

[Jenny]

So it's buying cars.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, but I mean, at least this is. There's kind of science to this. But that other deal, what people are going to do on what day and.

[Jenny]

What weekend it's going to fall on.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And what the weather's going to be.

[Jenny]

Right. I've seen disasters just because of the weather.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What's the biggest concert thing you were part of?

[Jenny]

The biggest one I saw fall through. We had the monkeys in.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, I could have told you that.

[Bobbo Bavo]

No, seriously.

[Jenny]

No, there were.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He's like buying a damn Taurus Laredo.

[Turley]

Seriously.

[Jenny]

No, this was a huge, huge deal. We had the monkeys. We had the Peter and Gordon. We had also Herman's Hermits. It was. It was a KF party. No, it was a huge deal. It's 50,000 people coming.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What year was this? 63.

[Jenny]

No, dude, this was just. This was in 2000 something.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, before.

[Jenny]

Before little one died. Yeah, he's still around. Anyway, so this was a huge. 50,000 people coming in. A horrible storm destroyed everything. Nobody showed. We lost about 100 grand.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's right. The outdoors are worse.

[Jenny]

Oh, it was terrible. It's an outdoor thing.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Insurance. You can get rain, you can get weather insurance for outdoor deal.

[Bobbo Bavo]

Like that guy named Abby Abernathy had a show in Archer City one year years ago. And he had the Grand Street Criers and Ray Wiley Hubbard and Rusty Weird.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yep.

[Bobbo Bavo]

And some big, big names. Right at the time. They were big.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobbo Bavo]

In Archer City at the Archer City Rodeo grounds, first week in July. I think it was the first annual Archer City Music Festival. And it rained like a son of a bitch, man, starting Thursday. And by the time Saturday came around.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It was just mud pit.

[Bobbo Bavo]

I think they had maybe a crowd of 200.

[John Clay Wolfe]

We had that wolf dance thing with. With all those people in Vernon that one year, and it was a. It got rained down. It was a disaster. Absolute disaster. Those outdoor events, oh, they're risky. Risky, risky, risky, risky. Okay, now we're actually done.

[Jenny]

John, you can go home now.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Tcu, ou, then Clemson. Hang on, I've got it right here. The rundown for the day. We've got Big 12 championships on right now at AT&T Stadium. Conference USA North Texas at Florida Atlantic.

[Turley]

It's on right now.

[John Clay Wolfe]

SEC championship number three, Georgia and Auburn is at 3 o' clock today. ACC, Miami and Clemson is at 7 o' clock tonight. And another. You can jump. Commercial jump. Ohio State and Wisconsin. That kicks off at seven night. And then as the one of the playoffs start. Two weeks or three weeks. Takes a minute.

[Turley]

Yeah, it's longer than that. It's like close to New Year's weekend. Actually, that's when it is.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So when the bowl games kick. So Miami. So here's my picks today. I got seven seconds. TCU today. All right.

[Turley]

You're going to Auburn. Wow.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Miami, Ohio State.

[Turley]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolfe]

See if I'm right. See youall next week, Sam.

[Jenny]

Out.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm out. Back to the money. Time is money. It's good.
