Overview & Main Theme

This episode delivers the show’s trademark blend of cars, sports, candid banter, and rock & roll energy, all infused with offbeat humor and raw, unscripted conversations. Car buying is central (with live on-air deals and discussions), but the crew veers into family stories, business wisdom, March Madness, pop culture, classic rock nostalgia, and colorful local culture—including chicken fighting in Oklahoma and the realities of the auto business.

Key Discussion Points & Segments

1. On-Air Car Deals & the Car Business ([01:07], [94:22], [151:46])

• Live Car Offers: John and the GMTV crew take calls from listeners wanting to sell cars—making instant offers, walking through negotiations, and dropping knowledge on vehicle values, payoffs, and market trends.
  • Memorable Sale: 2012 Cadillac CTS-V – offered at $28k, beating the dealer by $1k ([03:28])
  • Sonata, Honda Accord, Silverado, Nissan GTR, various others discussed with quick evaluations and advice.
• Inside the Business:
  • Frequent reminders: “Go to GiveMeTheVin.com” to beat CarMax and get instant offers.
  • Real talk about wins and losses: “Some make two grand, some lose three... The average is 300 bucks, and it works. We just do a ton of it.” – John Clay Wolfe ([151:00])
  • Honesty in describing vehicles is stressed—especially for high-value/luxury cars.

2. Company Culture & Office Life Gags ([31:29], [33:38], [48:19])

• Snack Box Pitch: Long-running bit where a GMTV buyer (“Boots”) wants to start an office snack box, sparking a comical back-and-forth about entrepreneurship, priorities, and workplace morale.
  • “You need to quit thinking about snacks. You need to pack your damn lunch and get to work…” – John Clay Wolfe ([34:41])
  • Discussion turns to snacks as “motivation” and analogies about carrots and sticks in management.
• Behind the Scenes: The show pulls back the curtain on the actual working relationships and the hilarity/dysfunction of the team.

3. Retro Banter: Johnny Carson Meets Metallica & Offbeat Store Names ([00:46], [04:56])

• The team riffs on the show’s identity:
  • “Johnny Carson meets Metallica. That’s exactly what I wrote down on the mission statement.” – John Clay Wolfe ([00:46])
• Jokes about odd gas station/convenience store names (“Come and Go,” “Liquor Flowers”) lead into playful sexual innuendo and commentary on Americana ([04:56]).

4. Family & Parenting Stories ([07:18], [133:19])

• John recounts attending his kid’s first track meet and the rookie mistake of not running through the finish line.
• Discussion of parental styles, being “Ricky Bobby’s dad” in the stands, and the comic perils of over- or under-involved parenting.
• Later, John’s son joins briefly, debating sports, repeating third grade to be older than classmates, causing more digression and family humor.

5. Exposing Employee Mistakes & Car Deal Fails ([44:35], [45:56], [155:03])

• The crew analyzes notable office screwups: buying a 2013 truck at the price for a 2008 due to a VIN mix-up, potentially losing $5-7k.
• Lessons in “employee errors cost more than any snack box will ever make.”
• Real losses from misdescribed high-end cars (Dodge Demon, Beyoncé’s dad’s Rolls Royce) underscore the financial pressures and unpredictability.

6. March Madness & Sports Banter ([80:17], [147:44])

• UMBC’s historic NCAA upset over Virginia is celebrated with local analogies:
  • “It’d be like Tarrant County Junior College beating Alabama…” – John Clay Wolfe ([80:52])
• NFL free agency news: Houston Texans signing “Honey Badger” Tyron Mathieu, commentary on the Cowboys’ inactivity, and why the Cowboys remain a massive brand despite decades without a championship.

7. Office Life Gags/Listener Engagement ([41:30], [117:52])

• Bobbo’s absences spark playful suspicion and real talk about staff commitment, pay, and the realities of radio work.
• Listener calls and texts react to crew antics, specifically urging Bobbo to “take the full-time gig” and mocking his small-town retreat to Bowie, TX.

8. Politically Incorrect & Edgy Comedy ([13:00]–[15:00], [22:16], [84:03])

• Casual boundary-pushing on race, gender (the “Accidental Racist” and “White, Black, Latino or Other” bit), sexual orientation, and more, often lampooning political correctness.
  • “We’ve lost every lesbian and teetoter out there.” ([22:32])
  • Satirical impressions (Rush Limbaugh, Stephen Hawking in heaven, a leprechaun newscast parody, etc.) peppered throughout.
• “White, Black, Latino, or Other” guessing game with crime stories.

9. Travel Tales – RVs, Busted Buses & Family Vacation Disasters ([67:00]–[75:24])

• John’s family road trip to Arkansas in a newly acquired RV (bought on-the-air from a listener), featuring:
  • Breakdowns, roadside repairs, no running lights, family bickering, and mishaps with lakeside Segways.
  • "We drove to Texarkana without any lights on... That was a while." ([68:10])
  • Experiences at bathhouses, crystal mining, and classic vacation chaos.

10. Chicken Fighting & Oklahoma Culture ([123:43], [130:20], [136:40])

• Deep dive into chicken fighting (“cockfighting”), its former legality in Oklahoma and Louisiana, family stories, and betting procedures.
  • “My granddaddy bred a special type of chicken they called the Witch Doctor… put little boxing gloves on their spurs to train.” – Caller Trey ([137:32])
• Humor about the legitimacy, ethics, and enduring underground popularity of the fights.

11. DIY Car Fixes & ‘Uncle Norman’s Life Hacks’ ([56:57], [59:21])

• Uncle Norman, the GMTV crew chief, shares practical advice for quick auto repairs, e.g., fixing airbag lights with WD-40 and looking for coins or spilled coffee in seatbelt buckles.

12. Regular Characters & Bits

• Randy the Chipmunk: Outrageous stories about SXSW, Austin, weed, and hanging with Five Finger Death Punch ([103:43]).
• Cluck Norris (the fighting rooster): Animal comedy, getting revenge in the cockfighting ring ([123:17]).
• Recurring gags: “Sell us your car – so easy you can do it in your underwear,” spoof commercials, and intentionally absurd “World’s Biggest Son of a Bitch” monologues.

Well, it's just. It's a ctsv. It's pearl white. I want it.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Friends meet at BUC EE's.

[John Clay Wolf]

TA stop S and get. There was a come and go in a liquor flowers. Liquor flowers.

[JD]

What is that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Liquor and flowers.

[JD]

Oh, is that what that is?

[John Clay Wolf]

Liquor flowers.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

And come and go. I mean, whenever. Like they were sitting at the board meeting naming this place come and go. K U, M and G O, E. Have you seen them? They're everywhere.

[Bobbo Babbo]

No.

[JD]

It'S a spin off a stop and go.

[John Clay Wolf]

We get it right.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I've been an amateur flower liquor for years.

[JD]

They spell it with a K. Well, that's bizarre.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is bizarre.

[JD]

How interesting.

[John Clay Wolf]

But, I mean, it's just kind of, you know, it's just so. I'm offended. Are you as a male really, to think that, that that's all we want and we're just going to come.

[JD]

I don't think that's what they were talking about at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

Leave, you know, you're going to get what you want. You're just going to leave. You're just gonna go. I've been accused of this a lot in my life, and it really bothered me that they put it on a sign.

[JD]

It was really accurate.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You know, I'm.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm more sensitive than that.

[JD]

You feel convicted, John? Yeah, yeah, clearly. Like going into church. Okay.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

What?

[JD]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

We're done. You're just gonna get mad, start yelling at me and leave. Oh, Lord.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Jeez.

[JD]

Been down this road, haven't you?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, what am I gonna get mad about? You'll come up with something to get mad about. Start bitching about the house and bitching about stuff that's not done.

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's why I don't do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Once you get done, you're just gonna come and go, you know, and that's really. That's really, really, really a feminist stance that I disagree with.

[JD]

I believe that it's zero to do with the story.

[John Clay Wolf]

It sounds very democratic to me.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, you have to be yourself, man.

[JD]

Here we go.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You got to allow for style.

[JD]

What happened to you, baba? Why are you so chill? Your little trip to California make you chill, man? You're very chill right now.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I feel like the same cat, man.

[JD]

You see, he's a little Chad, man.

[Bobbo Babbo]

We ain't talking about it, man.

[JD]

That's what I. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, I. I want to talk to Bobbo about his absentia when he.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Came and went absentia.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I'm gonna wait a little while because I'm afraid that. Because, you know, it's so early in the show. If we start getting flared up, we've got to make it to the end. You know, it's like a bad hemorrhoid.

[JD]

He's only walked out when it gets flared up.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, do you want to run a track meet right before you get a flare up?

[JD]

He's only walked out twice. You'll blow a carb.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or would you rather, you know, have a flare up right there before the last event?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Huh? I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

I went to my kids track meet the other day. It's a long event.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah, they are.

[John Clay Wolf]

Took a long time. D come a track meet? It's after school. It's just going to, we're just going to do the hurdles. I'm like, this is your first track meet, kid? Yeah. Like this is a long affair. This is a. Do you have any sunscreen? She's like, it starts at three. I'm like, yeah.

[Turley]

Got to bring snacks. Bunch of snacks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Snacks, sunscreen. This ain't no come and go.

[JD]

You can't just drop in, see your kids thing and split.

[Turley]

No, you got to. It's the timing.

[JD]

How long can it take?

[Bobbo Babbo]

It's a broadcast over at 8:30 at night.

[John Clay Wolf]

The best. But so it, this was a warm up track meet. Like the, they just started track.

[JD]

They're in eighth grade, they're gonna practice.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's against other schools, but it's not, it's. It's a scrimmage training. Okay, so she's winning the hurdles and she clears the last hurdle and she stops and she wins. And. And then the other guy got second, third and fourth place and she started getting all twisted and pissed off. Really?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, cuz she didn't, they didn't teach her that you gotta run through the finish line. The last hurdle is not the finish line. What?

[Turley]

Oh no. Really?

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's a rookie mistake.

[John Clay Wolf]

That is a rookie. Rookie, rookie mistake.

[JD]

I kind of blame the coach a little bit on that one.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, I was surprised. I was like, out of all the things, how many practices have y' all had? Rookie, rookie mistake.

[JD]

I kind of blame the coach a little bit on that one.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, I was surprised. I was like, out of all the things, how many practices have y' all had? You know, step one is, let's discuss the finish line. Yeah. Wow.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[JD]

All right, folks, day one, we come out here with shorts and here's the finish line.

[Bobbo Babbo]

But don't fall into that trap though, man. When you get too emotional about, about your kids in, in organized sports activities.

[John Clay Wolf]

I did nothing. You know, had to wake me up to realize what happened.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Don't be that guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm like Ricky Bobby's dad when it comes to sports activity.

[JD]

Would you sit in the, sit in the stands drinking beer. My kid had band stuff. I used to do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you here? Did you see it? Did you see it? Yeah. Hey, what happened?

[JD]

That was amazing. You were, you were. Did you finish? You were amazing.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was the score? The first quarter. Did my kid do anything?

[JD]

The first quarter?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

What about the second quarter? Did, did my kid do anything? Do you. Are you filming this? Can I watch the tape real quick?

[JD]

Yeah, I'd like to watch.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we have the conversation halftime. I'm up to speed, but it's so.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Weird when you go to these things. I remember football games and some of the parents get so crazy, yelling at the coach, you know, why don't you run play? You running the wrong play, you stupid coach. Like, what is that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, they do it in professional sports often, right? Jason Garrett, that ginger homo Jerry.

[JD]

He's Hitler.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jerry. Quit calling the plays. We might win some.

[Bobbo Babbo]

It's all Jason Garrett.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's the guy's name before Bill. Bill Parcels.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I'm bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

We just need Barry Switcher, man. That's really what it's all about, right? I'll bring back Jimmy. We need to give that another Good days.

[Turley]

Jimmy Johnson.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jimmy could coach.

[JD]

Clearly.

[John Clay Wolf]

He could coach barry in arlington. A 15 sonata with 25,000 miles leather and roof. What color?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Black.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

With black or gray leather?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Black.

[John Clay Wolf]

Black. Good. Hyundai good. 100,000 miles warranty. Good. Why are you selling it?

If you think about this people per square foot. You know, General Motors sells more cars in China than they do in environment.

[JD]

Let the delay build back up. And what goes on in your head before you say something like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I love. I love watching JD do his little dance, his nervous dance. What goes on in your head? Is that a bad word?

[JD]

Yes, on every level.

[John Clay Wolf]

When did that.

[JD]

I've got a dump switch over here, but I never hit it because Michael hits it. When we'll be there last Tuesday.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, is it really?

[Podbean Announcer]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

They had to dump me out. Stop.

[Bobbo Babbo]

What did you say?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, what happens when you hear.

[JD]

That in your head? Because everybody hears the words they're gonna say before they say them. What happens in your head? Your head goes. Yeah, that's a good word.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is there a chin in the Chinese phone book?

[JD]

John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

When you write a hater, He's a Texan. He's the accidental racist. What brought all that up?

[Turley]

He said the world. The biggest wholesaler in the world.

[John Clay Wolf]

Give me the vin. Is.

[JD]

You're not gonna blame this on me. You're not.

[Bobbo Babbo]

If we're gonna do business in this country, you got to get your facts straight. That's what I'm trying to tell this Chinaman here.

[Turley]

Hey, Jack, how you doing?

[JD]

Oh, my chest is hurting.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know why this Chinaman knows so much about cars is because his great, great grandfather built the railroad. And today the railroad's what carries the cars from the factory to the dealer. The Chinese have been involved in the car business way before Michael what's his name, came out with that movie called Gung Ho.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yes, yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

It started back in the days of Blazing Saddles when they were laying tracks across the west United states prairies and building things like the hoover dam. Oh, we're out of time. We'll be right back. My name is john clay wolf and I buy across the radio.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was it a long hair like a ski jump or a long one or a short one?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It was long enough. Looking back, we probably shouldn't have done it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did it hurt the automobile?

[JD]

Really?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I don't know. You know, his buddy, Buddy's truck, It made it home.

And now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by gimmethevin. Com.

[John Clay Wolf]

We were supposed to have a party today. Yeah, we were. What happened to that? We're just slacker, slacking bastards. Slacky, slacky. Lazy, lazy people.

[JD]

We gotta get somebody on this show. Well, we got Michael.

[John Clay Wolf]

We were gonna have our own concert too in the. This summer, and we got lazy with that. So I just. So we just hooked up with another one and we're doing. We changed the name of the Bow and Gym bash. What? I didn't tell you this yet, Bob, did I?

[Bobbo Babbo]

The John and J.D. bash.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it's. It's us and Bo and Jim are doing the thing. They renamed it. Give me the vin dot com. Joe Bow and Jim Bash.

[JD]

So it's going to be.

[John Clay Wolf]

So the translation, lots of tickets, parties. We'll have our own little deal and we'll probably bring you some strippers. Boba.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, that's. That's great. That's cool, too, because. Because Bo and Jim, they're our friends and that's. You know, and I don't mind that. You know how long I was on the phone with Joan Jett getting her to do that gig? She's tough.

[JD]

She is tough.

[Bobbo Babbo]

She's tough.

[John Clay Wolf]

Little.

[JD]

Little girl, but man, she's tough. Dynamite.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah, she's. She wasn't. It wasn't like talking to any woman I've talked to.

[Uncle Norman]

No.

[JD]

And of Course, I worked on sticks.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now, is she straight or is she. She a lot. Is she a large woman in platform shoes saying, don't go there, don't go there?

[Bobbo Babbo]

What do you think?

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a protective dike.

[JD]

Protective dyke.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Either way, she loves rock and roll.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I think that she's. I don't think she's a lesbian. I have trouble with her thinking. I. I know in writing she's a lesbian. Is she. Straight up, I'm a lesbian. Like, does she march with the lesbians?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Here's the. Here's the politically correct angle, which. Which I happen to agree with. Okay. What's the difference?

[John Clay Wolf]

And a real lesbian and fake lesbian.

[Bobbo Babbo]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lipstick lesbian versus a protective guy.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Oh, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

On the Trinity River.

[Bobbo Babbo]

She's an artist. Let's judge her on the merit of her work, which is badass.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dude, I had Joan Jett in the Blackhearts album in fourth grade.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Oh, man. And she was so classy on the Rock hall of Fame a couple years ago. Did you see that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Agreed.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You know, she did Cobain before she went in the hall of Fame.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's my problem. Let me. Let me backtrack, Bob. This is not a sexist statement. This is not trying to categorize. Categorize someone. This is me breaking my heart a little bit from a childhood crush, thinking that she would never be attracted to me because I'm not man enough for her.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I understand that. I've got the same thing about Rachel Meadow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Rachel Maddow's a lesbian.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I know. I know. See, what a waste.

[John Clay Wolf]

It makes it hard.

[JD]

You know, it's been highly documented that Lita Ford left the Runaways because she said all the band members in there are lesbians.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does that mean they don't like men? Does that mean I don't have a chance? That's what I'm trying to get to.

[JD]

I believe it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bob, you're the historian.

[JD]

Okay.

[Bobbo Babbo]

No, that's. That's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's true?

[Bobbo Babbo]

That all of the Runaways were lesbians.

[John Clay Wolf]

Has Joan Jett ever been with a man? Is she attracted to men? Is she attracted to Rachel Maddow?

[Bobbo Babbo]

I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is Rachel Maddow gonna come to the givemethevin.com bow and Jim Bash and announce Joan Jett?

[JD]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah. It'll be just like an Indigo Girl show, man. It's gonna be crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

It'll be crazy.

[JD]

I just actually typed that up, and there's a Yahoo question that actually pops up. Is Joan Jett bisexual or lesbian? I'm not kidding.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because they all feel like I do.

[JD]

It's on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because, you know, if she's full blown lesbian, right? Not just a drunk lesbian, but full.

[JD]

Blown, like, not a college party, like.

[John Clay Wolf]

Tithing to the lesbian church, right? Then you're out, dude. You're out.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

DJ Pre K, what's up?

[DJ Pre K]

What's up?

[John Clay Wolf]

You sound. You look like you drag a little bit.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, man, I'm just chilling, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is up with you? Speaking of, you know, we're into this zone where everyone's offended, so we might as well go ahead and finish the job.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's time for DJs game show.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You are now about to witness the strength of street.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, we've lost every lesbian in teetoter out there.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

Yes. Everybody's favorite, you know, white, black, Latino or other. Where I read a crime story. Y' all, tell me what y' all think the culprit is. So today we got an Indiana man who's down on his money and wants to hit a lick, but he ain't got no wheels to roll. So he called up a cab and said, hey, let's take a trip to.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

The bank real quick.

[DJ Pre K]

He got out the cab and robbed the bank by hitting the old notepass. You know, give me the money, I got a gun, yada, yada. And once he secures the bag, he gets back in the cab and tries to pay the driver with his stolen money. And of course, 5o comes and scoops him up and takes him in for a robbery and possession of drug paraphernalia.

[Bobbo Babbo]

What?

[DJ Pre K]

So what y' all think? White, black, Latinos for new people.

[John Clay Wolf]

Explain what you're asking. What the end question is.

[DJ Pre K]

What is.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is the race of the person?

[JD]

Basically white, black, Latino? Or is he maybe other from another country, Another lesbian, But could be.

[Turley]

Could be other.

[JD]

Yeah, maybe from that country.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a country.

[JD]

Lebanon. All right, so, okay, where was. Where was this? Where did it happen?

[John Clay Wolf]

Indiana. Michael Jackson.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Where?

[John Clay Wolf]

They're African American.

[JD]

Indiana.

[Turley]

Gary, Indiana.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was Barry Gordon involved?

[JD]

Steel Town. I'm gonna go with white. That's a steel Town.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna go stupid. I'm gonna go with, like, Asian or Russian. Is Russian. White.

[JD]

Russian is Russian.

[John Clay Wolf]

Others way on. Other white people are. Why are Russians not white?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, they are.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's a drink named after him, for Christ's sake. To say that Russians are other. I think you're way off, J.D.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, that's the difference between ethnicity and red.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm very offended.

[JD]

Oh, my God, here we go. You're offended.

[Turley]

It's another nationality.

[John Clay Wolf]

Will we say, well, they're French.

[JD]

They're other. I believe we mean white American when we say white.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, we don't mean that, I think. Who told you that? That's what I meant.

[JD]

It was in the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who are you to say what I'm thinking? Who are you to say what I'm.

[JD]

Feeling unhed right in the face.

[Turley]

Just going to.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm going to say it's a Japanese zero from World War II. Ballsy. Some ballsy. He's a Texan. He's the accidental racist. What do you think, Turley?

[Turley]

Man, I don't know what to think now because JD's trying to get confused.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Me.

[Turley]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

He's a Haitian.

[Turley]

I'm gonna go with other.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a Rihanna.

[Turley]

Another meaning. Russian. Other. I'm talking about like, you know, it could be from Peru or something like that. Okay, gotcha.

[JD]

Other, other, other.

[Bobbo Babbo]

There are two factors to consider here, okay? First of all, dedication, commitment. Okay? The man's an idea man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay?

[Bobbo Babbo]

I'm sitting at home, I got no ride. You know what? I'm gonna call a cab.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's programmed a computer before.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I'm take that cab to the bank. Now, I don't have a gun. I'm gonna write a note that says I've got a gun. Pick up the money, get back in the bank. Damn Indian with my drug paraphernalia in my pocket.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't mean a one from Oklahoma.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Dedication and lack of means. This in some circumstances in this country can spell African American. And that's my guess.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, DJ Pre K, what is the answer? We've gone on so much for new folk. Lay the story in again.

[DJ Pre K]

All right, it's an Indian man who, he wanted to hit a lick, so he called a cab to go and rob a bank. And then he got the money and he tried to pay off the cab with the money he stole.

[Bobbo Babbo]

So moving on up.

[John Clay Wolf]

White, black, Latino or other.

[DJ Pre K]

Not Peruvian, not Japanese, not black. But the Caucasians are at it again. 19 year old Derek Ferrier, a white man.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

What's his name?

[John Clay Wolf]

Just a poor broke white boy. What's the name, Derek?

[DJ Pre K]

Faria. Faria, whatever.

[John Clay Wolf]

How do you spell Faria?

[DJ Pre K]

F A, R, I, A.

[John Clay Wolf]

That sounds a little bit Russian to me. Jd, My name is John Clay Wolf and we'll be right back after these messages.

[JD]

Yes, you are. That's why I'm on your wife's side. Yes, you will. You. You talk in half sentences and don't talk and full ideas. And they expect everybody to understand you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, screw you.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I don't want to be this guy jd, but I understand you perfectly. John, I don't know what JD's talking about.

You were talking about. You want to tell what you were talking about and say it?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. What was it?

[JD]

No. Michael says. Michael.

[John Clay Wolf]

Michael says. Oh, no, David, that would be bad. That would get us kicked off the air.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Davy, I don't think we should talk about that now.

[JD]

Davy, you were talking about being asked or you wanted to go somewhere and they said no. Right, okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then we did something else, and they. Yeah, right.

[Bobbo Babbo]

But it's not the way an artist treats another artist.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, and you got it. You got me cornholed like I'm the Great Cornholio.

[JD]

I understand the people.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're as bad as they are.

[JD]

The people that said it.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Artists.

[JD]

No, you're a racist. And executive producers or anyone else are not allowed on a movie set. When actors are acting bold doesn't mean.

[John Clay Wolf]

You'Re better than me.

[JD]

Just because you're stupid doesn't mean you're better than me.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know?

[JD]

No, seriously, Actors. Actors don't want executive producers on the set. People that perform don't want other people in their business. They don't want them in the studio. You're an exception to that rule. You don't mind other people coming in here? Most.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do, too.

[JD]

Most radio people walk in.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was like, what do you want?

[JD]

Thank you very much.

[John Clay Wolf]

Papa Smurf.

[JD]

I totally get what they're saying.

[John Clay Wolf]

07 Silverado with a million gazillion miles. Michael, is it diesel or gas?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It's a diesel.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Oh, yeah?

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you want for it before we get all sideways? Hang on, we were talking. That didn't work. What were you saying?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Mike said, I know it's got high mileage, but I'd like to get around maybe close to 20.

[John Clay Wolf]

God damn. 07 Chevy truck with 180, 000 miles just started. I mean, what's the number? Bob, I've got. I got a pain in my damn side. Now. He wants 20,000.

[Bobbo Babbo]

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Good morning, guys, if y' all want.

[John Clay Wolf]

[JD]

[Bobbo Babbo]

Oh, I always get. I've been dumped four times this morning already.

[Bobbo Babbo]

For which. Which part?

[John Clay Wolf]

Just. Yeah, right. Go ahead, caller. John, what you got?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Hey, hey, John. It's John Peterson. Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hi, John, It's John Wolf.

[JD]

Where's John Peterson?

[Turley]

This is Boots, one of the GMTV buyers.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Why do y' all call him Boots, AKA Boots?

[Turley]

Well, because he wears boots. That's nothing but boots. He wears shorts with boots. I mean, it's all day boots.

[John Clay Wolf]

John, do you really wear shorts and boots?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Actually, I don't wear shorts, but yes, I do wear boots all the time. There's a. There's a story that goes with that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sounds kind of like Adam Ant meets Boy George kind of story.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Are they kinky boots?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, when you. Hey, hey, when you're a short guy, I mean, you need date smaller girls. You gotta make up. Make up for it somehow.

[John Clay Wolf]

When you're Rob Halford and you want to lead Judas Priest and cover yourself in leather to make sure nobody thinks you're a homosexual, you got to do that, too. But Go ahead.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Oh, yes. The reason I'm calling this morning, Got a business proposition for you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, okay, hang on. So this is our. This is just to let the listeners know. This is a buyer from. Give me the vin. He's been with us a long time. Okay, so you're calling to hit me up. This is what you were talking about, Turley. You told him to hit me up on the air. Okay, hit me up on the air, J.P. all right.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, I get to keep my balls busted. Here we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

What you got?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, here's what I got. Here's what I got. A lot of guys here at the office don't. Don't eat breakfast and are going out all throughout the day spending their hard, hard earned money buying snacks. I want to bring my own snack box in here and, you know, keep.

[John Clay Wolf]

It in house in the buyer's room.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

In the buyers room, the bullpen where.

[John Clay Wolf]

All the buyers are. All the. It's. You want to bring a snack box?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Exactly, exactly.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you want to manage a snack box so that you can profit off of all of your co workers.

[Bobbo Babbo]

See, you put that box in the corner of the buyer's office and a man can spend a dollar here, a dollar there. Maybe you get hungry for some Goddados, or maybe you want some Cheetos.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you just gotta bring a box. Like an honor system. Are you asking me to buy the snacks to go in the box?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, no, no, no, no. I will take care of all that. I'm just asking for your permission.

[John Clay Wolf]

What, is the snacks gonna set a brother back?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, of course. I mean, that's. That's what we need to discuss. There's got to be some revenue sharing here, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, John, how much money do you think you can make a week off the snack box?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Not. Not a whole lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, but just. I mean, have you already done a business plan on your snack box concept?

[Bobbo Babbo]

You get a Sam's Club card membership, buy a box full of snacks for $40 at the end of the week, you've made $3.25.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, really.

[Turley]

What.

[JD]

What.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is the opportunity here?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

There's not a. There's not a whole lot to be made, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, let's talk numbers, not opinions.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Let's talk numbers. $50 a week.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, here's. I hate to do this to you, J.P. but you want to know the truth? You need to quit thinking about snacks. You need to pack your damn lunch, and you need to get to work, because I was looking at your book of business and your callback time. And your customer, you know, wanting, like people hitting me with emails. It happened twice last week. Hey, I've been waiting on my buyer to contact me back. You know, where is he? And I look at who it is and it's yours. So you need to get your ass out of the snack catalog and get back into the. Give me the VIN buyers catalog and do your damn job and quit worrying about the damn snacks. Now you can get Carrie to get some snacks. We need some snacks. I'll buy the damn snacks. We spend a thousand dollars a week in freaking food for the Dallas auto washer people, for all the Mexicans, and all the drivers come by and eat for free. I'll get you the damn snacks. If you need snacks, just say, buy me some damn snacks. If it costs $50 a week, $100 a week, $200 a week, whatever it takes. We got customers and they need to get answered. So let's just do that. Let's just do our job. Let's do the job that we were hired to do. That makes a hell of a lot more money than 50 a week running around the Sam's Club and buying a bunch of freaking crackers with peanut butter. God bless the bear.

[Turley]

He got his answer.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I was really looking forward to my pop Tart money.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why don't you go moonlight at the strip club and be the guy with the peppermints in the men's restroom? That's what it sounds like you need to be doing. Maybe you don't need to be doing this anymore. Maybe you need to start working at the gentleman's club and rubbing people's, you know, trimming their pubic hair and polishing their shoes while they're coming out of the damn dance hall for a tip. He posted your boots. They call you boots? It ain't because you're wearing boots all the time. It's because you need to be shining shoes.

[Bobbo Babbo]

He posed it so carefully, though, John. We waste our time getting snacks.

[John Clay Wolf]

We.

[Bobbo Babbo]

We waste our time getting snacks. God.

[John Clay Wolf]

Between the 180, 000 mile truck guy for 20 grand, and then this. The stack boy. The stack boss. And this is the same guy who totaled his car two weeks ago?

[JD]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just fell asleep at the wheel, runs it off the road.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then he needs something to drive because he's working. And guess who's giving him something to drive. Me. And then he needs to buy a new car. Guess who's got to note him a new car? Me. And now he wants to be a snack boss.

[JD]

You know, you tell me this.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was told a long time ago that employees can be a problem. Whatever your business you get into, boy, keep it low on employee. Low on employees and low on inventory. I'm very heavy in both.

[JD]

You're very heavy. Happy above you. Tell me. This show would not make a good podcast. All the stuff that goes on behind the scenes. Oh, my God.

[John Clay Wolf]

17 Prius with 10,000 miles. Let me guess. You're in Austin, Texas.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, I'm in Baton Rouge.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wow. Did you inherit it from, like, a dead aunt in Austin?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, not in Austin, actually. In Katie.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you really inherit it?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Even better.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I did inherit it.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, I want to get rid of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

A guy in Baton Rouge wouldn't buy a priest. They wouldn't even let him, like, get his Baton Rouge citizenship card. You could vote on the next election if you pulled up in that.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Damn.

[JD]

You can't inspect that here, sir. You gotta move on down the road.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. So did somebody really pass away and leave it to you, or are you just going along with my. Are you there? Hello? Prius, man. 17 Prius for 10,000 miles. I want to buy it. I'll buy it real high.

[Turley]

Ironically, his battery died.

[John Clay Wolf]

Turley made it funny. Everybody. Turley made a hippie funny. That was against liberals. So this is a big moment for Turley because he's a Jewish hippie.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Liberal listener.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jewish Baton Rouge Prius hippie. Pull over and plug that thing into one of Elon. Take one of Elon Musk's deal and shove it in your knee.

[Bobbo Babbo]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Charge yourself up. Call us back. Rah rah re. Hit him in the knee. Rah rah RA. Calling numbers 800-800-7234. Randy the Chipmunk will be coming up next. We've had a lot. He's. He's travels. St. Patty's Day is today.

[JD]

God, he just got out of jail. I mean, maybe I shouldn't tell that story.

[John Clay Wolf]

Clark Norris will be with us today. Did you see the picture on the John Clay Wolf show Facebook page of Clark Norris?

[Bobbo Babbo]

No.

[JD]

Yeah, it's very good. John Clay Wolf show on Facebook. And it's.

[Bobbo Babbo]

It's perfect.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's with him packing a gun.

[Bobbo Babbo]

He's packing.

[John Clay Wolf]

I remember the podcast goes up at the end of the show and it's commercial free and song free. And you can stream us at the John Clay or just John Claywolf dot com.

[JD]

Yeah, Putting pictures of Randy. Not really looking that good.

[John Clay Wolf]

My name's John Clay Wolf, and this is Jefferson Star show, Listening to the John Clay wolf show on ESPN 975.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

NBC Orchestra inviting you to join Johnny and his guests.

Hi, everybody. My name is Bobbo Babbo, you want.

[John Clay Wolf]

To keep going for us?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Waving at me?

[John Clay Wolf]

This is why we don't do it off air. Because you can't hit it. Cannot hit the mark. Cannot hit the mark.

[JD]

Blow it all over.

[John Clay Wolf]

800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's so gay.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's gay? You. Well, how. What me? What I do?

[Bobbo Babbo]

You. You're so gay, you probably still eat sweet tarts.

[JD]

What are you talking about?

[John Clay Wolf]

About. Are you talking about the intro, Bobbo?

[Bobbo Babbo]

I don't know. I really don't know what you're talking about.

[JD]

The Johnny Carson.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's wrong with the Johnny?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Not today.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're so high.

[Bobbo Babbo]

A snack box sounds like a really good idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

You can't spell Cheech and John.

[JD]

Well, the Johnny Carson thing was good enough for John, not good enough for John Wolf.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, your name is John, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Kind of. Let's start this over. Did you say that that intro is gay?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, that's good, Bobo. I disagree. I didn't pick it. Turley did.

[JD]

Actually, I did.

[Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

This JD's.

[JD]

I edited it just as a joke.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Now it all makes sense.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. My name is John Clay Wolf. And Bobbo, we've proven the fact that he cannot hit the mark when he's on there. If he does it when he's off. Cut. So we. It is settled. Is. Now, what do you call when it's settled? When a. When an argument becomes a law, like it's in a court case, Just a bill.

[Bobbo Babbo]

It becomes on Capitol Hill.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, when. Like a case has case law against it. Yeah. Precedence. This President's law said it's done. We're not arguing anymore. We've proven it.

[Bobbo Babbo]

What are we not arguing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Nothing.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Turley]

Bob was still high from San Diego.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Good morning on the air. Let's just start something fresh. High court. Hi, Mr. Listener Caller Man. You there?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Jonah, Jon. I'm back for round two.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, it's John Peterson. Yay, boots.

[JD]

John Peterson, one of the sales people.

[John Clay Wolf]

Say that again. I'm gonna slap you out of that chairs.

[JD]

God, you're on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nobody would have noticed. If you.

[JD]

Don'T have sales people, a buyer. I said just shut up.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Has he got any snowballs? Those pink ones with a casino coconut Peterson. I love those deals.

[John Clay Wolf]

Man, this whole thing's getting confusing. I. I run this deal and I'm confused. Okay, why are you calling me?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I have no idea why I'm calling you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, you called earlier and you wanted. You pitched me a snack idea. That's right.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I got.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Respectfully, you know, I got. I got. Got declined there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, that's right. For those of y' all who missed.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It, you go back and look.

[John Clay Wolf]

You can go back. No, you can go back and listen to it on the podcast. Actually, when we got up there, John and I started getting angry. I have 30 pigs. So do you remember the Honda. Do you remember the Honda Accord two door that you put bigs together on and you bought for $3,000 and the.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Paint never, never put them together.

[John Clay Wolf]

And all the paint was screwed up and we had to buy it back from the guy that we sold it to because the paint was so screwed up. Do you remember that?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I do remember.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, did you know it got better that that story improved over the next. Between the week that we bought it back in the next week we went to sell it. Did you know that?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, I did not know that.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was such a nice car that in the auto check system, it came up to be a salvage rebuilt title. I mean, it just, you know, so. So the next time you're telling.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

We're aware of that.

[John Clay Wolf]

We were aware of that.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we knew it was a salvage rebuilder when we bought it.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

We did.

[John Clay Wolf]

We did. Well, then why wouldn't someone put that on my notes? So that when I sell it, I would announce it as salvage rebuilt.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I had it in my notes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, okay.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I have my basic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so when you're pitching this to Biggs, did you say, hey, I know it's a salvage rebuilt title, but it's a really nice one?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, I just handed the file over to him and he. He bid it?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, he told me that you put pressure on him and you painted a rosier picture than what was reality? No, he says you're bad about that.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I'm glad he's not here today.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, let's talk about this. Because basically he said you lied to him so that you could get more money out of him to make this deal so you can make your commission.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I'm not that Desperate.

[Bobbo Babbo]

It sounds to me like was hungry.

[John Clay Wolf]

But he's calling us thinking about snack boxes. That sounds pretty bad.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

This.

[Bobbo Babbo]

This is a.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

This is a no win situation for myself.

[John Clay Wolf]

You would have made. You know, you'd make three times the money on the one car that you lied about then. Then like a month's worth of snack box business.

[Bobbo Babbo]

So.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. I just want to know. Did you lie to him? Did you lie? Just tell me the truth. Tell me a lie.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, no, no, I didn't lie. She told him.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a salvage rebuilt pos.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yes, I put. I put in my sidebar bx, you know, with salvage right next to it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Did you hear about the other one that somebody bought that was like a 13, but it's really an 08?

[Bobbo Babbo]

What?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

That was me.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know that wasn't you, but have you heard about that one?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I did. I did hear about. Yes, I did.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did you hear about that one?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

The wrong bin was pulled out of the sidebar. I guess there was multiple vehicles. No, a couple people overlooked it.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you think it's going to cost me?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I think you just said five grand.

[Uncle Norman]

Which.

[John Clay Wolf]

So if you take. What'd you say? You can make doing snacks.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I'm over the snack.

[John Clay Wolf]

So hang on. This one stupid move that a staffer made and gave a customer 2013 money for 2008. So five grand. Five grand's right. And what were we gonna make a week doing snacks?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It would have took me 20 years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, you've already done the math.

[Turley]

So.

[John Clay Wolf]

Maybe we don't need to be selling snacks and we need to start looking at what we're doing. And that's not just going to you. That's going to everybody. Especially the guy that bought the truck that's going to blow five GS. I think it's going to be six personally. Could be seven when you give. You know, when you buy a 2013 F150 and it turns out to be an 08 and you pay for a 13. The weird thing is we already bought it once. We bought the 13 a year ago. So the guy comes back with an 08 and the paperwork got flipped and we paid him for the 13 again.

[JD]

I was gonna ask you how it happened, but now you just explained it, I thought maybe it'd be too, you know, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

And instead of maybe doing a snack business inside the company, I wonder if.

[Bobbo Babbo]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

If we maybe should institute. Institute? I'd be interested to know what it would cost. A drug test, everyone. I've never Thought about that before. It's the devil. The devil was Satan. Satan. Good.

[JD]

He would know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning, Satan. Just hang around, whatever you want to do.

[Uncle Norman]

That's really, really hilarious, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is?

[Uncle Norman]

I'll tell. You know, but. And far be it for me to play devil's advocate with this deal. You know, a lot of these faux pas, especially these with numbers and fin numbers. That's 17 digits for these guys working day in, day out, week in, week out. You know what causes that kind of little mistake that can be very expensive. They're hungry, John. They're starving.

[JD]

Oh, my God.

[Uncle Norman]

They don't need to sit down and eat a chicken fried steak and all the trimmings. You know what they need?

[John Clay Wolf]

We're talking about the Give me the VIN buyers. The buying room at Give me the VIN.

[Uncle Norman]

Cool Ranch Doritos. That's all $50 Cool Ranch Doritos.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you think that it would help us, the company and stop mistakes if we would supply some snacks to the buyers during the day?

[Uncle Norman]

Yeah. Have you ever met anyone who works at a desk that doesn't just love a sack of nuts? They're hungry, John. I'm just saying. Peter person, he's an idea man. Yeah, he's my type. He's probably got a soul worth about a buck fifty, don't you think? And that's a great snack to me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you might be onto something. You know, all these sissy.com companies do this type of buffet during the day.

[Uncle Norman]

Oh, yeah. I'll never go to Blue Apron again.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we're a sissy.com company. I mean, we're a dot com. We're a virtual company. Give me the vin.com is absolutely a virtual company.

[Uncle Norman]

Yeah. But these guys that bring you the groceries, you know, I'm talking about, you got some fresh asparagus, you got a couple of chicken breasts, you got some kind of a sauce mix, you know, and the right cheese Asiago. Right. And you're making cordon blue.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Uncle Norman]

And it never looks like the picture on their little deal.

[JD]

You know, you got people that deliver to hell.

[Uncle Norman]

What a rip off. Oh, sure. Yeah.

[JD]

Really?

[Uncle Norman]

Yeah, you bet. The Internet's blowing everything up.

[JD]

You know, I just can't imagine who would deliver to hell.

[Uncle Norman]

Well, one, you can buy all this stuff yourself.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Uncle Norman]

Okay. And two, their instructions are very difficult. And I've been cooking a long time.

[JD]

You have?

[Uncle Norman]

No, far be it for me to say, but Jesus Christ.

[JD]

Oh, man. You know, you think Jesus ever says devil?

[Uncle Norman]

That's like I was trying to make chicken Cordon Brown or something.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-172348-00800 radio. Thank you, Satan. Thank you for coming around. Actually, I've opened my eyes to something.

[Bobbo Babbo]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

In all this conversing, what's happened? I. There may be some.

[JD]

A light has come on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, a light has come on. Oh, Peterson, you're not going to get your snack business. But y'.

[Turley]

All.

[John Clay Wolf]

But we might. We might start laying out some food.

[JD]

What's that? Motivation?

[John Clay Wolf]

What's what?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I'm down with that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's just. Just not motivation. Just to keep people from screwing up.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Food or having to leave for 20.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because if they screw up, then you take their food away. Like, everybody gets to eat this, but not you because you keep screwing up.

[Turley]

I think the money would make the difference.

[John Clay Wolf]

But no, food is. Food is very serious stuff.

[JD]

A couple thousand bucks or a hamburger.

[Bobbo Babbo]

To the human mentality, Right? The carrot and the stick. I know what you're talking about, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

What the hell are you talking about?

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's how you make that donkey walk, okay? You got a carrot hangs over in front of him and you use the stick to whip him while he's trying to get the carrot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Peterson, who said that that car is only going to blow five GS?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Wow. Yeah, I. I don't. I don't. I don't know who said it. I just kind of.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, my God. Are you lying? No, I feel a lie. I feel it through the phone. Who said that car is only going to lose 5G's? Speak now or forever hold your peace. And if you don't speak up, you will get no snacks, no food, no soup for you.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Oh, yeah, I don't know. I honestly don't remember who it was.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just kind of covered cubicle talk.

[JD]

The whole thing.

[Podbean Announcer]

Just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, my God. He said he's got a customer call and he's gonna go 800. 817, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. Five grand. You know that Demon we sold lost some money this week. That's too bad.

[Bobbo Babbo]

What did it.

[JD]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Dodge Demon.

[JD]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. You know, you win some, you lose something.

[JD]

That's like a really hot. Thing is, are they kind of off a little bit or.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I paid 20, 000 over sticker.

[JD]

Oh, there you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, maybe not 20, 10, 12. What was sticker?

[Turley]

92, 96 on that one.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, yours. Mine was 96. That one wasn't as cool as mine. It was close.

[Turley]

93 or something.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't think it's 93.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You know, friends, Trader John has always said, you don't make your money when you sell these cars. You make your money when you buy them.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now, hang on. So if it's 93, we sold it for 111 or 110? Yeah. All right. Well, I gave 113 or 12.

I really enjoy the show.

[Podcast/Show Announcer]

Presented by givemethevin.com.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

You'Re doing a great job. I enjoyed listening.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 RADIO. Good morning, everyone. My name is John Claywolf. I had a, you know, we were doing our conference call on Thursday, the buyer call it, and Uncle Norman came in and Uncle Norman's very, very deep Puerto Rican accent. He's our. He's our crew chief.

[JD]

Right at the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. All recon. He. He fixes the cars and he instructs the mechanics on what to do and this, that, and. And of course, he's Puerto Rican. And what do Puerto Ricans do? They keep their cars running for a long time. Have you been to. No, that's Cuba. Same thing.

[JD]

A lot of people do the same thing. No, it is the same.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I thought, why don't we. Because Norman has so many life hacks on how to quick fix cars. I was like, why don't we share it with the listeners? He's got such an interesting voice. He sounds like chef from south park meets and he. Ricky Ricardo.

[JD]

He drives an Aston Martin with the racing stripe.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Norman. Good morning, Uncle Normie. Good morning.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Good morning. Good morning, guys.

[Bobbo Babbo]

How are you doing today?

[John Clay Wolf]

How are you?

[Bobbo Babbo]

There are parts and then there are B pro auto parts. Parts built for every vehicle. Parts built to fit and function. Parts that are refining how we drive and redefining the category because every vehicle is a sum of its parts. So do yourself a favor and put.

[John Clay Wolf]

B pro auto parts on the vehicles you service.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Parts now. Parts into the future. Welcome to the new aftermarket.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Fantastic. Beautiful day today in Texas, and you're.

[John Clay Wolf]

Still living at the illustrious Traders Village.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, I still hack it in there. I feel like I am in Little Mexico.

[John Clay Wolf]

But see, Uncle Normie came down from Pennsylvania. Okay. And he's. He's part time, but he's not. He's staying. He's all Texan. He's like eating barbecue and listening country music already. He's just got to get his wife to move down here and then he'll get a real home.

[JD]

Oh, so he's gonna have a real, real home.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's been RVing it.

[JD]

Oh, that's cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. So. So. Oh, I've got a cease and desist on that company. I got to be careful what I say.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

From way back. Never mind well, see, my. I can't even talk about.

[Bobbo Babbo]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Uncle Norman is staying at the Traders Village trailer park if you'd like to go visit him for now. Maybe today that'll change. Ah, okay. Anyway, Uncle Norman, you, you, you're very good with automobiles and you fix things simply. And we thought it'd be a good weekly segment to have you come on the air and explain to our listeners little things that, that, that dealerships rip them off of and that you can fix quickly.

[JD]

Easy, easy.

[John Clay Wolf]

So airbags is something. The airbag lights. Airbag lights light. Okay. Yep.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

The airbag light says yes. Everybody makes a big deal about it because you, when you're driving, you see an airbag light coming on, you are concerned, of course, you got your kids, you're riding, your family in the vehicle. But airbag lights come for different reasons, possibilities. So the thing that it is, most of the time, it is the seat tensioner, or maybe your kids took a penny and put it inside where the buckle goes on the seat belt, and that happens again. And that delicious coffee that you guys like to get in Starbucks too, when that coffee sprays, when you start making a stop or something like that coffee goes along with the dashboard. That causes problems too, because especially if you like to use sugar like I do, I put 10 sugars at my cost. So if you put a lot of sugar, that will destroy anything that is electrical, industrial.

[John Clay Wolf]

And y' all thought I was crazy when I said we need to bring Uncle Mormon on the phone.

[JD]

I never thought of the pennies in the seat buckle.

[Bobbo Babbo]

So.

[John Clay Wolf]

But back, back to the, the airbag. The, the. What's the fix on the airbags?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Once the fix in the airbag, usually what I do, I go to the seat buckle. The seat buckle. This is the most. That probably is the 9 out of 10. That is what it is. I take a little bit of WD40, the all good stuff spraying on it, put the bucket in and out, in and out, and boom, they start running, they start working again. Also, when we, when we vacuum our cars under the seat, when you go to the car wash, sometimes you touch those wires in there and they come apart. And usually you just go under the seat and plug them back together. It's like a little plug. And usually the, the color of that wire is yellow. So you will know that. Exactly. That's jello yellow.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

What color is jello? Okay, see, Norm, this is good stuff. People are gonna, they're gonna appreciate this. I mean, there's several people that you're saving $500. Because the second they roll into the dealership, they just clip them. They just club them. Oh. You know, they sell them on fear. Fear. Fear, fear. Your kids are gonna die. You. You're gonna die. There's like 38 slugs in your airbags, and they're pointed at your head, and they're all fixed to blow your heads off. And Uncle Norman's telling you it's. It's. You need WD40 and some Jello.

[JD]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, Norm. 800-800-72-3,4. Love the way he talks. 800, 800 radio. Neil and Garland. A 16 platinum and 60,000 miles leather roof nav diesel truck. Has it got the airbag? Does it have the airbag light on?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No. I didn't spill any coffee in the seat belt hole.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, I didn't know that either. Coffee thing or the penny thing.

[JD]

Makes sense.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

16. 16. Old body style. We had that other one. We just had this car, not longer with 60. It's $40,000.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

40 grand, huh? Yeah. I was gonna be a little higher than that.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it take to buy it?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I would be more around 46.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, it would be great if it had 30,000 miles, but it's got 60 in the new body style on the 17s came out, and they've got $10,000 rebates, and it's made this truck look like a 2011. And it just body style, man. I mean, you know, there's reasons that women get boob jobs.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, yeah, I hear you.

[John Clay Wolf]

And there's reasons that they go back again and have them fluffed and fresh. What does it cost? Does your old lady have a boot job, Neil? Does your old lady. Okay, what did you pay for that boob job on number two?

[JD]

There we go.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, yeah. The first one was about 12 years ago. It was about three grand. Now they've gone up in price. The second was about 55.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was it three grand a side or three grand for all four?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Three grand for all four.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

For the first pair.

[John Clay Wolf]

So why is she going back in to get a new pair of Michelins put on?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, them bad boys was they were starting to lose air.

[John Clay Wolf]

Were they sagging or were they getting wrinkly?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

A little bit of both.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, you know, a good sag can be appreciated because it's got that all natural look, you know, organic farm to table thing. But the wrinkles. The wrinkles is not.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

That's when you just need a little more air pressure.

[John Clay Wolf]

They do. So you went back in to get a lift kit put on at four wheel parts. And she, she. It's 5,500 to have the truck relifted, huh?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah. Yeah, it sure was. I couldn't believe it myself.

[John Clay Wolf]

And has she done it yet?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's a done deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why don't you. If you'll take a picture, if you got a before picture and after picture, Please go to givemetheven.com and send us the pictures of your truck and the pre lift and the post lift. And we would. We'll look at the whole thing. And she's. How close, how close we can get to your $46,000.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Maybe that'll be worth about six grand.

[John Clay Wolf]

Could, you know, you said it was 55, but life's a negotiation, right?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

That's exactly right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800 because of the possibilities. Radio.

And now back to the John Clay Wolf show presented by gimmetheven.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oklahoma 2 to the shining seas of Oklahoma. To the shining shores of New Orleans and Houston and South Texas Good morning, Arkansas. Oh, I got to talk about the RV trip to Arkansas. Remember, we buy RVs and buses and [e-mail] also.

[Uncle Norman]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

I took the family on a road trip to Arkansas.

[JD]

How was it, man? I'm really excited to hear about it. Everybody in the. Everybody in the big RV was a big RV about a motorhome.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it was. It's a 42 foot.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Oh, that's a big one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. We bought it off of. Gimme the VIN listener. Okay. And before we stuck it over to the RV lot, Texas RV outlet, we took it on trip.

[Uncle Norman]

Perfect.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it was fun. It was big.

[JD]

Good.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Oh, yeah.

[JD]

You drove it. I'm assuming I drove it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I made it from Fort Worth to Rockwall before I blew a hose off of it and had to. Had to. To coast it off of the i30 on two. Yeah.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

So then we sat there just really on the side at the truck stop for six hours. Seven hours. Seven hours waiting on the repairman to find the hose. Radiator hose that fit it. But he'd got us hooked up at 12:45 at night. And then we got on the road to Arkansas just in time to find out that the running lights and the tail lights. Lights were out.

[JD]

This really is a family vacation.

[John Clay Wolf]

It really was a nice one.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[JD]

Oh, I saw the picture you put on Facebook.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, the. The. The. The bus was awesome. But. But since it had been sitting a while from the. Give me the Vincaster. We bought it from Little Things Happen. Little Things Happen. And the circuit board was out on the clearance lights. So we drove to Texarkana without any lights on. And people were yelling at me on the highway is how I realized. And that was a while. If you think about between Rockwall and Texarkana, that's a pretty good jump. That's like Rockwall to Shreveport.

[Turley]

And you didn't get pulled over?

[John Clay Wolf]

No. And then I got to Texarkana and I pulled over and I was like, why are they all honking at me?

[JD]

They must know me from this show.

[John Clay Wolf]

But remember, we didn't leave Dallas until 1 because we were broke down, so we didn't have that much traffic. But it was at Texarkana where they really. Maybe that's where the lights went out.

[JD]

Yes, it is. John Clay Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[JD]

Yes, they must know me.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's why they're honking and swerving at.

[JD]

Me, pointing my family, my kids.

[John Clay Wolf]

So at that time it was what, 4:00am yeah. Oh, my God. So I realized that. So I pulled over and went to sleep until sun up. Got up at sun up, headed to Hot Springs.

[Turley]

All right.

[JD]

That is pretty cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was fun. We stayed at the Arlington, which is an old hotel I know, and did the bath thing.

[JD]

Did y' all do the bath?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, did the best. Did the bathing. And I was a little confused on the bath thing. Why? You know.

[JD]

Oh, here we go.

[Turley]

Did you just go in naked?

[JD]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, have you done this, Mike?

[Turley]

Yes. Where did you do it in Colorado?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Yeah, the mineral baths. Yes. Well, you don't go in naked, but no, they tell you to get naked. You know, happy, happy, happy. Locker room attendant. Yeah. Been there forever. And he's like, let me take that towel from you.

[Turley]

There's a designated area.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. Well, hang on, Mike. Let me tell you how this works, because I don't know what happens in Colorado, but let me tell you about Arkansas for a minute.

[JD]

What happens?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know how you hippies are doing it in Colorado, but in Arkansas, the big black guy takes your towel off and you are naked and you get in the hot ass bathtub and you're like, ow, that's hot. You need some more cold water. Turns it on, and then he turns it off and he puts some gloves on and he goes to scrubbing on you. Yeah. Great. So is that what they do in Colorado?

[Turley]

Well, you got the.

[John Clay Wolf]

The last time I was naked in front of a stranger getting rubbed on, it was a massage table jail. Yeah. Then I was offering a hundred dollars to do a better job at the end.

[Turley]

Okay, you didn't do the public hot spring.

[JD]

No, there's a public.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, you're. You're talking hippie national forest. Yes, I'm talking. You go to the bath house.

[Turley]

You're talking about the. Where you pay a little money.

[John Clay Wolf]

Look like it was 30 bucks.

[JD]

Yeah, but there's also a communal bath thing in Hot Springs.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dude, this thing, this room was so white. It had steam lockers like the three stooges used to have. Not steam rooms, but steam lockers.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where you get in. Your head's hanging out right. Nice. And they'd wrap you in hot towels, it all white. It really looked like a psycho ward. One flew out of the cuckoo's nest. 30. 30 tables that you lay on and they wrap you in. Remember the scenes of the spa and I love Lucy?

[JD]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was like that. This was old, old, old school, but it was fun. Anyway, we did that, and we went to the alligator farm and we went diamond digging, crystal digging, where you go up and you. You drive to the mine. And they. They ship you up on the back of a bunch of trucks and people haulers. You feel like you're going to the concentration camp and they take you up the mountain and then you dig for crystals and diamonds and it's real. And we got a lot of good stuff.

[JD]

That is very.

[John Clay Wolf]

They found a 2 1/2 million dollar one up there a year ago. Alice Walton bought it like 25 times.

[JD]

So you find that you get to keep it. I mean, that's the deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't. The rule is anything you can carry out, you can keep well. But the professionals found this one. What they did approach, they took a ground X ray machine. Okay. And went through. They flew over this area.

[JD]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they picked it up on X ray. And so they started mining around it. And then sure enough, it was there.

[JD]

Wow. But you guys found some cool stuff.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah. The kids love this.

[JD]

Kids loved it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Kids had a blast. I went back to the bus. Worked, got yelled at by my wife.

[JD]

I was gonna say, how long was it before you got in an argument?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, 15 minutes.

[JD]

Yeah, just one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good. Made it 15 minutes. Not 10, but 15. Actually, we didn't get an argument until she didn't get mad when we. When we broke down.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

I wasn't mad. I didn't care. I was relaxed. She probably told me, gave me a few driving pointers before we got there. Sure, of course. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let me take it all back.

[JD]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

We did get a little sideways over.

[JD]

Some packing issues before you ever started.

[John Clay Wolf]

Out, before we ever got on the road.

[JD]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

But yeah, it was fun.

[JD]

How fun?

[John Clay Wolf]

Took the kids about 700 miles. And now I consider myself a truck driver. Do you need a CDL to drive that thing?

[JD]

No, you do not.

[John Clay Wolf]

It has air brakes.

[JD]

You do not.

[John Clay Wolf]

It weighs £50,000.

[JD]

You're not commercial. You're not getting paid to drive it. No, I promise you, you don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

You can drive. That's so dangerous to put morons behind the wheel of something that large. Dude, it's huge.

[JD]

Couldn't agree more. But you do not need the CDL to drive one.

[John Clay Wolf]

A 43 foot diesel pusher with a 550 horse cat and air brakes needs a CDL.

[JD]

It should.

[John Clay Wolf]

Uncle Roy taught me how to drive big trucks and I've done it a lot without a cdl. So I'm a little. But I mean, going down all those hills and baby mountains in Arkansas, watching the air brakes and the air pressure.

[JD]

You should really take a course.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, you should really, really, really.

[JD]

There was a time when you could buy ultralight airplanes, build them in your garage and go fly them without a pilot's license. And people died often.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm big on the RV deal. If you. I'll pay more for RVs than normal after this weekend. If you, if you have an RV class A, B or C coach.

[JD]

I knew that would happen.

[John Clay Wolf]

Travel trailers. Go to givemetheven.com we buy those because.

[JD]

I had that one a few years ago that actually you bought and I bought it from you and blast. It's so much fun in that thing for two years.

[John Clay Wolf]

I love this thing. It was great. I would love to have a little. Oh, oh, oh. One other thing. So we pull up one night at the campground. Remember in holiday in family Vacation when they pulled up to the campground in Colorado where the top of the cabins were tents and the bottom was like log cabinets. We pulled up at a deal in Arkansas like that. Stay the night just like that. And when we pulled up up and pulled those air brakes, my wife looked at me, she said, you really are mad at me, aren't you? Why? Because the conditions there. Oh, oh, you're camping, right?

[JD]

What you want a five star hotel?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[JD]

Well, we can't.

[John Clay Wolf]

The hotel we were at the night before is pretty nice.

[JD]

Okay, all right.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I wanted to get a little more outdoorsy.

[JD]

Man, you really are mad at me, are you? Big jerk breaks.

[John Clay Wolf]

So the kids get on the Segways and one of them drives it right into the lake. I didn't. Went there 15 minutes. Right into the lake.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Outstanding.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bass guys over there digging it out for him. And he's like, it's beeping. It still works like, this thing ain't.

[JD]

Going to work, dude.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I'm telling you. What is camping like in the Netherlands? I mean, what, what does she expect?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I don't. I didn't sell them on. We're going camping. No, I said we're going to drive this bus to different cities and stay at nice hotels. That's what I told. And then so I pull up to this camp tent ground. Shangra.

[Bobbo Babbo]

L.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, it really looked like the Bates Motel. Beautiful lake. Lake Osha. Shosha.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Just tie the dog to the bumper and take off.

[John Clay Wolf]

But it was the. The kids were happy. I was happy. She was fine.

[JD]

Blast.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a bus. It's not a Harvey. That's some. Is big, dude. I mean, you blow those, those four slides out.

[JD]

It's monstrous.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would just be happy living there.

[JD]

I was with four kids. I don't think.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no.

[JD]

Myself.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who said anything about four kids? Jesse. 04 Silverad a half ton with 92,000 mile extended cab. Is it a Silverado? Yes. Average, rougher, clean. Jesse, you there? I talked so long I probably. He probably fell asleep. DJ get Jesse online 40 point prepped back if he's rent. Speaking of, we need php web developers. Forgivemetheven.com we're growing a ton. We're doing a lot of IT work and I need more web devs. I've got some resumes last week but they didn't. We need some experience. We don't need a guy who read, who wants to be. Well, I do a little bit of, you know, I'm in college. I do some this and that. I need some web developers.

[JD]

I took some PCP and bought a computer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I don't. It needs to be the PHP language. PHP. Not. Not Lasso, not Rawhide, not net.net developers. We need. We need PHP developers. And if you're into that, you know, we go to jobs. Givemetheven.com also transporters with three car trailers that have good insurance go to jobs that give me the. We're hiring more vendors. Guys with a rig middling. Christian, san Antonio, Austin, Oklahoma, Arkansas and fixing to be St. Louis, KC.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Awesome.

[JD]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. Anyway, transporters we need. We need some more Transporters [e-mail] if you don't have commercial insurance. Don't go. Don't go.

[JD]

Don't do it.

[Turley]

You got to be able to cross borders too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. You know, we pick all these cars up for all these people in the five state region. Fix to base B6 and. And we need haulers. So that's how that works.

[JD]

Are there different rules for people that can cross state lines? Yep. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a portion versus combo plates and.

[JD]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's just different stuff.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's like the difference between a. NET developer and a PHP developer. There's a difference. Jesse in Fort Worth, you there? I'm here. Okay, now. 04 Silverada half ton with 92 average. Rough or clean?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, that's clean.

[John Clay Wolf]

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

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

There's a payoff.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much is payoff?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I think it's 85, something like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're pushing it. 04 old body, extended cab, two wheel drive. 85. 92000 miles is pretty good though. Or do you want. What will you take for it? How close do you pay off? Do I have to get.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Oh, I'd like to pay it all.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then I. I met. I might be able to get there. It's right there. 85 is about the number. Go to give me the VI N. Givemetheven.com give me the VIN.com. load it up. Put your payoff in there. Say I called in. John thinks he might be able to pay this off. Here's the pictures. We'll make a decision. And that goes for everybody listening. Go to givemetheven.com if you want to sell us your.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You. He always buys a woman a corny dog on the first date just for the sake of gauging style and originality. He feels that children hold no personal value until they're old enough to mow the lawn without assistance. And they'd better do a good job if they want to earn that $5. He's found that young ladies shopping the condom selection at Walmart are inadvertently there for a reason. He is the world's biggest son of a bitch. Hey, man, I don't always drink beer, but when I do, make mine a natty light. Tall boy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, buddy.

[Podcast/Show Announcer]

And now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Pack it up, Pack it in.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Let me begin. I came to me.

[JD]

That's a sin.

[John Clay Wolf]

Charlie, give me a quick March Madness update, please.

[Turley]

John, are you a fan of the upset? Because the biggest upset ever in NCAA basketball tourney history happened last night.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who did what?

[Turley]

Umbc.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's that? Universe Network?

[Turley]

No, this is Universal of Maryland. Baltimore county upset. Number one team in the country, Virginia.

[John Clay Wolf]

So give me. Give us a local. Would that be like UTA Arlington?

[Turley]

No, that would be like Trinity. Like the community college beating.

[John Clay Wolf]

Be like TC JC Beating a number one team. Yeah.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yes.

[Turley]

It's that big of an upset. It's crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or even if they're going.

[Turley]

They're going insane at this college in Baltimore, Maryland.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, it's the community college. Close enough.

[Turley]

It's a university, but barely.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, is it a bunch of black guys or white guys?

[JD]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good mix. No, it's a mix. Good.

[Turley]

Yeah. It's like your community college would be. It's exactly what it's like. But they're going crazy. All 2000 students or whatever is there?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. Oh, my gosh. That's fun. Oh, yeah, it's. It's huge. Who do they play next?

[Turley]

They will play in the next round. Oh, not Kentucky. I think it is Kentucky. Yeah. So they're going to lose anyway, but it doesn't matter.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you sure they're going to lose because they made it this far.

[Turley]

You know what?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm surprised that the system even let them get in.

[Turley]

They won their conference. The college basketball has a lot. Every conference, basically conference winner advances into the tournament.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like Cisco Junior College making it to.

[Turley]

The Orange bowl and then beating Alabama. Yeah. I mean, it's insane. It's cool, though, to watch these students going crazy. I mean, if you're watching ESPN television, you're gonna see it all day. Right now, up to the tournament, that.

[Bobbo Babbo]

First highlight I saw this morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is there next game today?

[Turley]

No, they play tomorrow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Awesome.

[Turley]

Yeah, so everybody's gonna be a fan of that.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Or just go to givemetheven.com if you want to sell your car or get a buy bid on it before you trade it in. We'll beat the dealer. If we don't beat, Carmax will pay you 100 bucks or send you a picture of that guy's. Anyway.

[JD]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Stephen Hawking. Yeah, he's passed away. God rest his soul. Rush Limbaugh is in the studio.

[Turley]

He's on ISDN Line Florida, talking about.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, this is probably a good day for rush. Why I'm St Patty's he likes to get toy out. Rush likes to get tore. Smooth out the frame.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I'm never gonna get all these sorted right. What?

[John Clay Wolf]

John? Yeah?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Can you hear me?

[Bobbo Babbo]

I can. Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

I got my headphones on backwards tuning into Tokyo. Tune in to Tokyo, I'll tell you.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You know, I guess I'm still a little miffed at all the hoopla they still bestow upon St. Patrick's Day in this country. And I happen to to be able Irish myself. But look, if you want to wear something green and go out on the town, right, and drink yourself stupid in the name of Irish tradition, be my guest. But to be honest, and I'm always honest, I can do all of that stuff myself right here at the house.

[JD]

Or wherever you do every day.

[Bobbo Babbo]

And I do it every single day. This morning, for instance, I'm getting heavily into these greenies. Have you heard of those?

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Bobbo Babbo]

They're like these tasty little phenyl vitamin tablets.

[JD]

What?

[Bobbo Babbo]

And I think they're like. Well, they do them in the National Hockey League.

[JD]

What is this? I don't get uppers. Oh, uppers. Yeah. They let them do that in hockey.

[John Clay Wolf]

They used to.

[Bobbo Babbo]

They're like over the counter or something. No recommended dosage, if you take my meaning. And I've been Munching these things like Cheerios all morning.

[JD]

You're just high as a kite.

[Bobbo Babbo]

And I've written outlines for the next 14 broadcasts. Straightened out the pantry and the bedroom. And I've bought a few thousand dollars worth of Gatorade on Amazon. Delivery.

[JD]

Yes, I know that's.

[Bobbo Babbo]

And I hope they get here soon, because I have got the dry mouth.

[JD]

I'm addicted.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Nevertheless, for the record. Right. Highly recommended by L. Rushwell. Okay. Anyway, I got him from my friend, the Mooch. Anthony Scaramucci.

[JD]

No.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Who also turned me on to a new take on the March Madness thing.

[JD]

Oh, there's a new angle.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

What?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Instead of game brackets, right. You've got Trump cabinet brackets.

[JD]

What?

[Bobbo Babbo]

It's amazing.

[JD]

Oh, I get it.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I'm having a ball. And he's. And Moosh has been doing this since the election, if you believe that. And the guy, he's a genius.

[JD]

This is who comes here.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I mean, he saw them all coming. Spicer and Priebus. Right. He saw everybody coming but Scaramucci.

[JD]

Oh, we didn't see that.

[Bobbo Babbo]

He got fired in 10 days. I know you can't really see something like that. And I told him back in April, as soon as the moron incident. You remember this? Yes. And Rex Tillerson referred to our fearless leader. Right. Donald J. Trump.

[JD]

There we go.

[Bobbo Babbo]

In a less than complimentary term.

[JD]

Yes, he did.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I told him Tillerson would be out by March 15th. And just like that, bingo.

[JD]

I won $48. Oh, you.

[Bobbo Babbo]

They have a line on this stuff in Vegas. The Cabinet Bracket. Look into it. Screw the ncaa. And maybe it's the speed, but I think I'm getting good at this.

[Turley]

It sounds like he's talking a mile.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I'm going to award myself with a big old tumbler of Jack Daniels.

[JD]

That'll slow you down.

[Bobbo Babbo]

And Vicodin. Don't wait up. We'll be here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.

[Uncle Norman]

Wow.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Talent on loan from God. Those things lined up over there.

[John Clay Wolf]

When Glenn Beck came to our meeting two weeks ago, it was a big talk Coast. It wasn't big.

[JD]

It was small, but. But all the big people there, like you and Glenn Beck.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. Tell me about that. Because you said I was lucky to do that.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Like you sent a photo of Glenn Beck. What was that about?

[John Clay Wolf]

He was. He was in doing a rush impersonation. You know, it was that moment when I heard Talent on loan from God is when I decided I wanted to be in this business.

[JD]

Yeah, it was pretty cool. That was a moment for him.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was a moment for him. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Lawrence and Beaumont. A 16 Civic with 20,000 miles. It says R. So it's got a roof on it. What color is it?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It's silver.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have a title?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, I'm trying to get it paid off.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much is payoff?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

21 2.

[John Clay Wolf]

You can buy it cheaper than that new.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Can'T you?

[John Clay Wolf]

Seriously, what's sticker price?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, well the sticker price was like I paid for it on for a year. Yeah, it was a year in December. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was sticker price? I'm being, I'm being serious.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Man. To be honest with you, I'm not even sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Average. I mean I think it's a fifteen thousand dollar car. So you're flipped. Yep. If that works for you to give me the vin.com, i'll buy it. Sorry man, I hate hearing upside down negative equity stories. Equity. Such a turn off word.

[JD]

Yes it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's so serious negative equity. I just call them flipped in the ditch, buried to their eyeballs, screwed to the wall.

[JD]

Change it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It just sounds negative equity. I sound like Rodney Anderson when I say negative equity or in the flipped.

[JD]

You're in the flipped zone.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're in the flip zone.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You're screwed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sean in Oklahoma has a. Oof.150 with 184,000 miles. The program Nazis tell me that when I make fun of people on the radio that we lose listeners. So if that's going to happen then go ahead and hang up now everybody, because I'm fixing to make fun of Sean and Oklahoma because all these. Sean, you there?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, I'm here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's the problem with. If you were in Texas, we'd probably get a deal done. But in Oklahoma there seems to be this high mileage market, kind of like the hood market and, or the Little Mexico market or even the Little Italy market. But Oklahomans like have this Indian high mileage market that I can't comprende. What will you take for your truck?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I've been asking about 700 to 600.

[John Clay Wolf]

I will say that Sean is at least being very realistic. But I have a feeling that Sean's truck does not run. Sean, it runs. Will it pass inspection?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Say that again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Will it pass inspection?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It needs another very front brake cylinder. It's got 10 ply tires all the way around on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

10 ply tires.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Need to put back in tire timing.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. So like if I start it, does it run well? Can we drive it back to Dallas?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

You could if you took it easy with it, you know, like I said, right from brakes on or leaks.

[Bobbo Babbo]

My question is, would Sean pass inspection this year, Hoss?

[John Clay Wolf]

Sean. He sounds like Bill Murray from Caddyshack. Sean, have you ever done a Bill Murray impersonation?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I hear it in your voice. I think if you practice some of Carl's lines out of Caddyshack and call us back and do it well, I'll give you 700 for your truck.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

You know what being on disability is and being behind the wall is? Yes, that's what I'm on. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

And I got a big gas company. I got to start paying on the new pickup. I'm buying from a guy, right. And you know, it might need another water pump. I'm not sure. I gotta start getting things paid.

[John Clay Wolf]

I gotta, I gotta hang up because this is getting depressing. And I'm sorry that, that the. But the truck we went from it's fine to. It needs a water pump to its at a time.

[Turley]

I can't see it making it from Oklahoma, can you? John?

[John Clay Wolf]

There's no way.

[Turley]

There's just no way.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's zero chance you have it.

[Bobbo Babbo]

To a gambling man, that's an opportunity.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can't believe this car made it 150,000 miles. Paul in Oklahoma, good morning. Are you there? Paul going once. Paul going twice. Paul. Paul has a 15 Dodge. Paul has a 15 Dodge Dart with 150,000 miles in navigation. Does it really have 150?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, it does. And it's a 2013, not a 15.

[John Clay Wolf]

It doesn't matter when it's got 115. Doesn't matter if it's a 2011. It's a thousand dollar rig. But the question is, how the hell did you get a Dodge Dart to make it 150,000 miles? First of all, we'd like to give you a big round of applause.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Mopar, baby.

[John Clay Wolf]

And second of all, how far is your commute? What do you do?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

My God, I'm a diesel technician. And for two years I was driving.

[John Clay Wolf]

Three hours round trip fixing guys RVs in the middle of the night with CAT engines that blow hoses.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I mean I put, I have, you know. Yeah, I was supposed to be in a service truck and end up having to drive my car back and forth every day. But yeah, I'm a coming certified diesel mechanic and CAT in Detroit and all that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why haven't they put a cat engine in a damn regular truck like they did Cummins? It would sell like hotcakes.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, CAT can't meet emissions anymore since 2007. So once those seven emissions cat can make it so they dropped out of the truck industry.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well they can, they can, they can make it. If a man builds it, it can be made. If. If the technicians at Cummins can make it then Caterpillar technicians can make it. Maybe they don't want to make it but I believe that if they. I want to start a new truck. I want to. I want to start my own car company. Boba. We'll call it the Wolf.

[Bobbo Babbo]

The Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

And really what I'd to like to do is buy Hummer back. We ought to do a capital raise. Everybody raises money these days. Let's do a cap raise. Buy. Buy AMG General back, bring the Hummer back. Make a heavy duty commercial truck with a caterpillar engine. I swear to God it'd work. I just. It would be badass. See and this guy's a Cummins tech. Thanks Paul. Paul, you don't want to sell me your car. It's just put it on credit list for 1500 or 2500 or whatever I just.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yet. I mean there's nothing wrong with the car. It's a turbo rally and all that. I love the car. I just curious to see what people.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would drive it until it blows up. And it won't be long. So bring. Bring some flares with you because it's gonna happen but I mean thanks. 8008-072348-00800 radio okay, we've been talking about some junk cars. Let's talk about some nice cars.

I'm not from Abilene, Texas, as you can tell from my Wisconsin accent.

[John Clay Wolf]

You came down for the oil field job, didn't you? No, I'm.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I'm an economist.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Really?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Really.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was hauling a load of pipe in. In Oklahoma or somewhere and hit black ice and jackknifed and ran into another truck and took the roof off. He took his life. So his wife said that's why he hadn't got back with us. That's.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, that's very sad. So we definitely need more truck drivers. 800. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. He was a good guy, too. That was the guy that hauled that. That Porsche out of New Orleans for me. And he lost it a little bit on the trailer, and it got sideways. We had to get a roll back, straightening out. And when he was loading it and he screwed up the wheels and screwed up one of the fairings, we had it all fixed. I never sent him a bill for it because I liked him so much. I never bitched at him. I never said a word. I said, bring it home. It'll be fine. And it, you know, it costs some money to get it repaired. And I. And he's like, send me the bill. Send him my insurance. I just never did it because I just liked him so much. I didn't want. I wanted him to be with us for a long time.

[JD]

So dangerous out there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Well, anyway, that's. That's. That's true. Troubling me. Dan Wedlick, I believe was his name. Shout out to you, buddy. You were a good one. Stephen Hawkins passed away. Speaking of death.

[Uncle Norman]

Big week.

[JD]

Yes, he did. After many, many years, he's finally free.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Free.

[JD]

On to the next adventure, unless you believe the way he does. And there's no heaven afterwards.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wait.

[DJ Pre K]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

We have Stephen Hawking. What's going on here?

[JD]

So he was wrong. There is a heaven afterwards. Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. Oh, he's coming in from outer space.

[JD]

Not heaven.

[John Clay Wolf]

Heaven.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Can you imagine my surprise, jb?

[JD]

I can't even imagine what you must have felt like. You're like, oh, it's so right on so many things, but heaven.

[Podbean Announcer]

Wrong.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Stevens out there really was a God.

[JD]

Of course there is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I'm so surprised.

[JD]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

So much for the Big Bang theory.

[JD]

I get it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hahaha. So much for the what? The Big Bang theory.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Apparently the origin of species was detailed perfectly in the book of Genesis.

[JD]

Really?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah. That's a man on me.

[JD]

That's a bet on you, Will.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Hey, here comes Prince and Tom Petty.

[JD]

Prince and Tom Petty are hanging out with you.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Time to get this party started.

[JD]

There's a rock and roll heaven.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I used to have a cat motor in my wheelchair, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right, A cat motor, Yes, a diesel.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It could really rock and roll.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Stephen, why. I mean, when you. When you were released to have. And why didn't you get your voice back?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I don't know. I think it's part of the application process.

[JD]

Oh, he's just not there yet.

[Bobbo Babbo]

He's just.

[JD]

He's fresh and he's gonna get his voice back eventually. First week, it's kind of an. It's like college. It's.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, maybe he's been talking like this so long, this is just how he prefers to speak.

[JD]

Orientation.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, it was very late in the evening and may I say what I think St. Peter is a bit of a punk.

[JD]

A bit of a punk?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

And the gates are not pearly. They're made of marble.

[JD]

They're made of marble. They're not pearly gates at all.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Hey, hey. Here comes Jim Morrison of the Doors.

[JD]

You're hanging out with all Jim Morrison there.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I've always been a big fan.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotcha. Well, Stephen, thank you for what you contributed on Earth and hope you have a good ride in heaven.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

You are very welcome. I'll see you on Easter Sunday.

[JD]

He's a big believer now. Big believer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. Ironic.

[Bobbo Babbo]

That was great.

[JD]

That's awesome. Good. Good to know there's heaven and that even a guy that's smart as that could be wrong.

[John Clay Wolf]

This 14 Corvette on the board in this 16 Audi S line. Please go to givemetheven.com and load it up. We want to buy these cars. That's wild.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Wow.

[JD]

Who's just complaining about that, really? So that's, you know, you'd be wrong. Big surprise. I'm in heaven.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it is St. Patrick's Day.

[JD]

Yes, it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it wouldn't be the St. Patrick's Day without the leprechaun.

[Turley]

Oh, yeah.

[JD]

Oh, we have a leprechaun.

[Bobbo Babbo]

No.

[Turley]

You remember the leprechaun story in Alabama?

[JD]

Oh, the one on the video. The news, the news station had this story there was a leprechaun hanging out in a tree and they were interviewing some people that had actually seen this leprechaun.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right? Yeah. Here's the story. We got to relive this in time.

[Podbean Announcer]

For St. Patrick's Day. Crowds are coming by the dozens to get an up close view at what some say is a piece of Irish folklore.

[JD]

Some people in the Crichton area of.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mobile say a leprechaun has taken up residence in their neighborhood.

[Bobbo Babbo]

A leprechaun.

[JD]

NBC 15's Brian Johnson.

[John Clay Wolf]

Johnson has more. Curiosity leads to large crowds in Mobile's Crichton community. Many of you bringing binoculars, camcorders, even camera phones to take pictures. To me, it looked like a leprechaun. To me.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

All you gotta do, look up in the tree.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who else in the leprechaun say?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Eyewitnesses say the leprechaun only comes out at night. If you shine a light in its direction, it suddenly disappears. Years. This amateur sketch resembles what many of you say the leprechaun looks like. Others find it hard to believe and have come up with their own theories and explanations for the image. My theory is it's casting a shadow.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

From the other limb.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Could be a crackhead that got hold.

[John Clay Wolf]

To the wrong stuff and it told.

[JD]

Me to get up in a tree.

[John Clay Wolf]

And play a leprechaun. We don't get down to the bottom of this.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, still down there, guy. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

This guy helping to direct traffic says he's prepared for his encounter with the leprechaun. He's suited up from head to toe.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

This war is all smells right here. This is a special leprechaun flute which has been passed down from thousands of years ago from my great, great grandfather who was Irish and I just came to help out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Others just came to get lucky in hopes a pot of gold. Gold may be buried under this tree. I'm gonna run a backhoe and uproot that tree.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I want to know where to go.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to go.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Give me the gold.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to go look like he's here. This is Brian Johnson, NBC 15 Classic. He looked just like Easy E. Dude. I'm gonna get me a backhoe. Get me the goat. Get me the goat. Randy, I hear I see your little hand in the air. I see you want to talk. You're finally up. He's been sleeping on the couch all.

[JD]

Morning, bothering my dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

Randy. Only have two minutes.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Hey, what's going on, guys?

[John Clay Wolf]

Not much. How are you? Randy the Chipmunk, everybody.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Oh, man. Hey, how y' all like my dreadlocks?

[JD]

I love your dreadlocks. Where'd you get them?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah, I gotta do it.

[JD]

Austin in Austin. My hippie girl, south by South.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Guess what else? Look here. She painted my claws, too.

[JD]

Oh, I see.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

You should have seen Sharonda when I come home with dreadlocks and emerald green claws. I just told her, you know, baby, I gotta be me. Y' all hear about south by Southwest?

[JD]

Yeah. That was. Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Oh, man, that's good.

[JD]

You had a good time?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Well, me and Rusty caught a ride with Lyle Lovett's bud. Oh, you know, I love it.

[JD]

Yeah, I know.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

He's a weirdo.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yes.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

But his bass player at Leland. Score.

[JD]

Yes, sir.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

He got a house over Halla Park.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I don't care.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

He's real cool guy. He's been selling me weed for years.

[JD]

Oh, geez.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Anyway, they give us right down there, me and Rusty, we got a routine for south by Southwest. First thing when we hit town, we go to Texas Chili Parlor and drink Shiner Bot till we can't stand up. And then about night time, we go down to a place called A Hole in the Wall.

[JD]

I've been there because that's where all.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

The cool people hang out.

[JD]

It is indeed.

[John Clay Wolf]

I see.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Seen Elon Musk down there. Really, dude?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Really?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

He's got an all electric car.

[JD]

Yep.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah. Yeah, he liked to kill Rusty. Why always crossing Guadalupe street, right? Just choking on a dog leg. Hooters.

[JD]

You're not supposed to.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Minding our own business. Before we knew it, here he come, silent as death on a bicycle.

[John Clay Wolf]

Them things don't make no sound.

[JD]

No, it's not.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

And I go, look out, Rusty. One thing I could tell you, them electric car brakes work pretty damn good.

[JD]

Oh, they really stopped?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Because a car in the street, right, will eat your ass.

[JD]

I bet it will. Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

And we was like, what the hell, man? And Rusty recognized him because Rushie likes to read the Rolling Stone magazine. And he was like, hey, you're Elon Musk, right? So he said he was sorry and gave us a hundred dollars. That's when the trouble started.

[JD]

Why he.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

We hold up in our regular place. Drifter, Jets Hostel.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

It's like dorm style.

[JD]

I know it's cheap.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

And full of good hearted freaks like me and Rusty. And guess who's in the room with us?

[JD]

Who's in the hospital?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

The guys from Five Finger Death Punch. You ever heard of him? Yeah, they're badass rock and roll band.

[JD]

They're in the hustle with you.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah. He's getting down, man. Drinking Tito's vodka, smoking reefer and eating shrooms and licking this iguana in the eye. And then Rusty had to go and light a single Camel cigarette. That was it. Apparently there's no smoking indoors law in Austin.

[JD]

Right.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

So they kicked the Death Punch guys out and me and Rusty went to the local animal shelter where we learned to deal three card money. Really? And pick a lock and steal a car.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Really?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Which in our case was a TIA Vodka truck. He got back yesterday. I'm awful tired.

[JD]

You look it, man.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

We brought the iguana with us. You want to lick?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't want to lick.

[JD]

Come on, it's not gonna hurt you.

[Bobbo Babbo]

No.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

You're such a jd.

[JD]

I know I am.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm a coward.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

You want some vodka?

[JD]

No, I don't. I don't want any of your stuff.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Get out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, Randy.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Rock on south to Southwest kicks ass.

[John Clay Wolf]

Put them on hold.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I love Austin.

[JD]

Keep it weird, baby.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you can tell I'm probably dragging a little bit. Turley, can you hear me dragging that call a little bit?

[Turley]

Sometimes?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah, you're doing it wrong.

[Turley]

Depends on how long after.

[JD]

Oh, really? So you feel better after you've drunk at night?

[JD]

Really? You're expanding everywhere. You said Florida's coming down the road.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're all coming. But I mean that one, this one's happening. I think we kind of. I had a good meeting with a big network official the other day, the decision maker for programming for all of a large network.

[JD]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

And he cleared us through noon on pretty much where we want to go, so. Well, Kansas City's the first one. That's what we were waiting on.

[JD]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the Big Rock properties is what they're like. Well, you know, because this is a break of format in a sense. Yeah, but. But I think, you know what was cool is he's like, I didn't know you were John Clay Wolf.

[JD]

I swear to God.

[John Clay Wolf]

I swear to God.

[JD]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, because we've been working on this guy for years, man. He said, I didn't know that was you.

[JD]

How did he not know that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I was saying, I'm John Wolf. Oh, oh. And at that talk conference. Yeah, he didn't.

[JD]

You didn't throw the clinch?

[John Clay Wolf]

You know my business, man. I'm joking. So, Bob, tell me we haven't brought this up yet. We need to get into this. How much time do we have?

[Bobbo Babbo]

What are you getting into?

[Turley]

5 minutes.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not long enough to cover all this.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Oh, surely. What do you want to talk about?

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to talk about you just skipping school for two weeks.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, I haven't just skipped school.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, let me, let me backtrack. Two weeks ago, Bob sent in a text seven minutes before we get on the air. Hey, I'm sick. I'm not going to make it today.

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's actually, that's not how that happened. It was an hour before I called Turley. Like, wasn't it 5 in the morning?

[Turley]

No, 6:45.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, I was sick.

[John Clay Wolf]

I believe you.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I was really sick.

[John Clay Wolf]

I believe you.

[JD]

Did you not know you were sick the night before?

[Bobbo Babbo]

I was really, really sick. No, actually it hit me Thursday. That week.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo Babbo]

By Friday I felt pretty. I.

[John Clay Wolf]

You thought you were going to be able to pull it off by Friday?

[Bobbo Babbo]

I had planned to come down and stay in the studio that night.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would get everybody else sick and.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Turley, contact me sometime Friday afternoon, late. And you know how you lose track of time. You just lay around miserable. And I told him, man, I'm getting really ill here. No, you did.

[John Clay Wolf]

Charlie says he's lying. He didn't.

[Turley]

All you said was, hey, I'm gonna plan on coming down. I was like, okay, great. What do you have in mind? And there was nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's give Bobbo the sick pass.

[Turley]

But, yes, I'm 6:45. He did sound okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

But then the next week, he went to California for his son's graduation from the military, which is wonderful.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm very proud. I saw the picture. I mean, all that is so good, right? But why didn't you tell us?

[Bobbo Babbo]

You guys knew that was coming up?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, we didn't.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, I don't expect you personally to know John, but, like, we.

[JD]

You know, I've all found out on Facebook.

[John Clay Wolf]

We found out when we got on the air, and you weren't here.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I've been saying March 9th for three months.

[John Clay Wolf]

To who?

[Bobbo Babbo]

To everybody. But anyway. Anyway, Turley, I texted me sometime, like Thursday night or.

[John Clay Wolf]

See, I think. Here's what happened. I think that Bobbo, your theory. I think that that girl, the groupie.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

From Houston, I think she got in his head and started telling him how great he is. He's holding out.

[JD]

You're the star of the show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, yes, yes.

[JD]

With John Claywell.

[John Clay Wolf]

And she said you ought to just stand him up a couple of weeks and see what happens.

[Bobbo Babbo]

The Bobbo and John Show. That's it?

[Uncle Norman]

That's the.

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's what you're thinking?

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that what I'm thinking, or is that what you're thinking?

[Bobbo Babbo]

What? Did you say it.

[JD]

Also starring John cl.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. So is there any. Is there any truth to that? I mean, you know, we pay you 2500 bucks a week to do this, Right? Right. Like that's not enough.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, I think you're taking it personally, man.

[JD]

He told me he didn't think that was enough.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, I mean, 2,500 a week is not enough. Listen, we've been. We've been.

[John Clay Wolf]

Been.

[Bobbo Babbo]

We've been doing this a long time together. Yeah. And we've always spoken very frankly, but you're hard to get on the telephone.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You know, he's busy. Because you always tell me, don't call me John, don't call me Bobo.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know why? Do you know why? It's not that I'm too cool to talk to you. That's the last thing I am. Our best conversations are on air. And when you and I talk during the week and we blow out all the good content between us, just us girls on the phone.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then we get on empty on Saturdays. That's the only true reason I hate talking to you outside the air. Because our on air stuff is good. Yeah, our on the phone stuff is better. It really is. If we could broadcast what we do on the phone, it'd be better.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Let me lay something by you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Okay. Long story short, two points. First of all, I got really strung out. January and February, you know, our morning lady got stuck in Houston and I was getting up at 2am working at 3 and it just killed me.

[JD]

For those who don't know, Bobbo does a show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's also remind that I offered for you to quit that job and come work here full time.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you can start working endorsements and get more money. Because I think that you are. I'm your biggest fan. Hey, that ain't bs. I am your biggest fan. I come up on Saturday mornings. One of my motivations is for you to entertain me. Because you do.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I really tried you.

[John Clay Wolf]

I swear to God. I am your biggest, biggest fan. Always have been.

[Bobbo Babbo]

But point being, it's been really hectic for me. Okay. And then having to go out to say, I mean, I got on a plane sick a week ago Wednesday and had to fly to California. Okay. And didn't come back till Sunday night. Secondly, I really should never have quit drinking whiskey, man. It's been very.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thirdly, you should take the gig that we're offering you. It's working out very well for another person. And you should come here and move back to town. Town and work here.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, I'd love to. There's nothing but time. But I mean, I bought a house down there, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sell it, rent it. It's in buoy. Dude, you got a hot tub on the back porch.

[JD]

They got them here in Fort Worth.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah, they do, but I don't. You know, I would.

[JD]

I kind of money you're asking for it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, listen, we're fixing to grow. I'm telling you right now. We're going to Florida, we're going to Atlanta, we're going to Los Angeles. We're to going, going to Vegas, we're going to San Diego, we're going to Phoenix. And you are going to have opportunities to do endorsements and make some real money.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Right?

[JD]

Right.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Well, don't turn it off or anything.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not turning it off. You just need to get your ass down here and quit Playing radio up there in Bowie.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I'm stuck in a mode.

[John Clay Wolf]

But you got to break free. You got to break free. You are a star. Bobbo.

[Bobbo Babbo]

A drink?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, you really are. And you're gonna have some opportunities that come off of this. And we've all been waiting for for it for a long time.

[JD]

He's a responsible chipmunk.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

My uncle Scooter's been running a blackjack game. Don't kill anybody. And listen, there's a lot of dollars going in and out of there. I made $800 a couple weeks ago. Walked out flat. He's still pissed off at me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Speaking of pre K. And I don't know where Cluck is, but Pre K. Cluck wanted to ride to Oklahoma on Sunday night to enter into another chicken fight. Rooster fight. Because he lost that one. We thought he died, but actually there's a picture Cluck Norris on the Facebook page. Johnson Wolf show Facebook page. And he is packing heat. Packing a pistol. He's going back to Oklahoma. He's gonna shoot him.

[JD]

Oh, he is gonna get revenge.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's gonna get revenge. Oh man. Clock. Are you. Get over here. Clock. There he is.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You better know I am.

[JD]

Put the gun down. Put it down.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Wait, you don't like my gun?

[JD]

No, no, I don't like it pointing this way.

[Bobbo Babbo]

It's not like I pointed at you.

[JD]

You did.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Just point it over you. That smoke detector, that's gonna shoot it out.

[JD]

Okay, okay.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I don't like blinking lights. They make me nervous.

[Turley]

I got it.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Last time I went to Oklahoma I got my night lights knocked out.

[JD]

You did? We thought you were gonna die.

[Bobbo Babbo]

It made me mad. Made me feel funny and sad.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it like fighting chickens in Oklahoma?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Roosters, I mean, you know, everybody talk about them spurs and they can hurt you, they can cut you up a little bit.

[JD]

Yep.

[Bobbo Babbo]

But that's what fighting before. Now when cluck fights, I go out. The main thing that hurts me is look in the eye of that other rooster. Cause he wants to kill me.

[JD]

Well, yeah, that's all I did.

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's why I took a fall the last time.

[JD]

Oh, you took a fall?

[Bobbo Babbo]

I wasn't knocked out.

[John Clay Wolf]

You were acting dead.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I was knocked down.

[JD]

That was acting.

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's cause I didn't want to get my nuts broke.

[JD]

Okay, I got you.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You know, fighting Ruby roosters.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Babbo]

It was a lot like fighting your old lady and hens is something I know a thing or two about. I've Been running around with hens for a long time. And I tell you something about hens. They can kill you too.

[JD]

Well, they can.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure. Uncle Roy took a slug in the leg from a hen.

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's right. He should have known better. But that's some of the trouble you get into with hens. The same as other roosters when you fight. Fighting? I'm gonna go up there tonight.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, Sunday night.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I'm gonna knock that mother out.

[JD]

You are?

[Bobbo Babbo]

You better know it. Bet that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you. Where you gonna use that pistolo you got?

[Bobbo Babbo]

I got a lot of money on the fight, too.

[JD]

You got money? You can bet on yourself.

[Bobbo Babbo]

$20.

[JD]

I don't believe that's legal.

[Bobbo Babbo]

We just buy a lot of corn. Have a good time.

[JD]

Oh, this robe. I see.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bet that I noticed. Notice on the photo. And right now you have a shirt on, so I can't see. But the photo on our Facebook page. You shaved your back. So are you gonna, like, sell your back to tattoo for a sponsor then?

[JD]

No, you're not. No, stop.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, we know. Why are you here? To fight other roosters.

[Uncle Norman]

Truth.

[Bobbo Babbo]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Only in Oklahoma where it's legal. Is it legal in Oklahoma?

[JD]

I don't believe it is.

[Turley]

I don't believe it's illegal anywhere in the state.

[JD]

United States. No, it's not. Clearly not.

[John Clay Wolf]

But then why. Why do you always hear about Oklahoma chicken fights? Well, who's hearing about them? I am.

[Turley]

You just got it wrong around the different people.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no. My old co host, Cletus, you remember. Yeah. He was a chicken fighter.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You bet.

[John Clay Wolf]

He had a buddy, a Mexican that was chicken fighter. And they were serious about this stuff, and they did it in Oklahoma.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Legal or not legal? It's just like the apostle Paul said.

[JD]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobbo Babbo]

A man just can't sit around.

[John Clay Wolf]

I need any chicken fighting in Oklahoma data.

[JD]

The world of cockfighting, which is legal in Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma, where is a billion dollar a year industry? They're a cross section of America. Charles Berry, the director of the American Animal Husbandry Coalition.

[Turley]

Yes, I'll be damned.

[JD]

Billion dollar industry. So legal in Louisiana. No surprise, Oklahoma.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is there a date on this? If anybody has cockfight data, Please call in 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

[Bobbo Babbo]

It's a little hypocritical, though, because we all watch Wild Kingdom, right? That line's gonna eat that Kingdom caribou. Okay. And chicken roosters fight to the death right? In nature. A lot of times we're eating those chickens wholesale in our culture. But we won't let them fight.

[John Clay Wolf]

I agree with you.

[Turley]

Yeah, but I think it's.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's no yeah, but legalize it, daddy.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Legalize it.

[Turley]

I think when they start putting blades on them and stuff, that becomes a little unnatural.

[John Clay Wolf]

What about when they chop their head off?

[JD]

Update. Well, United States cockfighting is now illegal in all 50 states as of. Of 2008. Okay, so 10 years ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, that was when I left Vernon, and that was when I lived up by the Oklahoma border.

[JD]

So it was before that, though, 10 years ago. So now it is illegal in all 50 states.

[John Clay Wolf]

You can't take your guns away.

[Bobbo Babbo]

No, they didn't quit.

[Turley]

You can't take your fighting.

[John Clay Wolf]

They didn't quit. They didn't quit, man.

[JD]

Well, you know, they didn't quit.

[John Clay Wolf]

They didn't quit.

[JD]

They still do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Speaking of guns, J.D. you're a gun enthusiast.

[JD]

I love them.

[John Clay Wolf]

What. What is. What's the latest?

[JD]

On what? On kids, the walkout on the whole thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

We've only got 30 seconds in the segment, so we have to get into the details in a moment. But give me the quick Cliff Notes because I. I see it in the news, but I don't read it. Is there a movement? Is there anything different going on now than there was before?

[JD]

They tried to do a big walkout this week that was basically government sanctioned and everybody had to walk out to change the rules.

[Bobbo Babbo]

I don't get it.

[John Clay Wolf]

We all had guns in high school. Wish you couldn't afford any shells.

[JD]

Nobody.

[John Clay Wolf]

Everybody had shotguns in their truck. We go dove hunting after school.

[JD]

Nobody shot at the school.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll be right back. I want to talk about guns and fighting.

You're listening to the john clay wolf show on espn975. Happy St. Patrick's Day. And we're back to the bombo film.

[Bobbo Babbo]

This girl paged me and sent a number, said I have chicken fighter friends and I have fought them myself.

[JD]

Legally.

[John Clay Wolf]

No Dave in Oklahoma.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Hey, I'm back, bitches. Hey, I was gonna let you know chicken fighting does happen in Oklahoma all the time.

[JD]

We didn't say really? We said it wasn't legal.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. I want details. I asked for details. It sounds like you might have some insight. So what is the best night of the week to go to a chicken fight? And where do you find. I mean, is there a website?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Hey, I gotta take a fifth on that. Can't answer.

[JD]

Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, like, is there, is there a chicken fight coalition that they send out a mailer? How do y' all find out where the fights occur?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, all I can say is if you like tacos, you would love it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I understand it's very Hispanic in nature, and they drop drive long, long ways with angry chickens. How long do these events last? Like, they start at 6 and end and so is it kind of like going to a craps table? Everybody just throws their money down the corner in different stacks and bets on just side bets. Or is there, is it more organized?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Hey, you fifth.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no, no. Nobody knows who you are. Nobody knows you're anything. You're completely autonomous.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, I, I, I can't, I can't say nothing else. That's all I can say. It happened. That's it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do they use razors still? Is that, is that still standard. Standard. Oh, gosh. Somebody answering your questions by saying, okay, somebody call in and tell me the truth. I want to hear about it. Jeff07 Ben Z550 with 67, 000 miles is worth about 5,000. And that body stone.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Okay, I think I, I think I recognize that guy you were just talking to. I think it's my neighbor Ron.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it take to buy this car?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

You know what, for five grand, I'll let my son drive it to high school.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it take to buy it?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

You know, I, I thought it was worth probably eight.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it does have better miles than anything that. I'm looking at a bunch of comps and they're all three to four grand. So I'm just adding a thousand to the, to the highest priced one. But the highest priced one was 3,800, and it was 93,000 miles. Yours has 67. 67, that's really good miles. But the body style. What if I went to 6,500, maybe even 7?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Nah, I'll let my son.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't want to drive it. You just want to know what it's worth. Just tell the truth. That's all you want.

[Uncle Norman]

You just want.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I was telling, I was telling the guy before. I've sold you probably three cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, Okay.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I, I, you're, you know, I'm legit. I'm just, I'm trying to thin the herd. But for that, like I said, for that kind of money, you know, my, my son can be a stud in high school and drive that.

[John Clay Wolf]

So that's fun. And, and for you to live vicariously through him is, has a dollar value also. There you go.

[Turley]

800.

[John Clay Wolf]

800. 7, 2, 3, 4, 8, 8.

[JD]

You will be with your kids.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Absolutely.

[John Clay Wolf]

Absolutely. My children are not athletic.

[JD]

And I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Think it's my fault.

[JD]

Why? How in the world would that be your fault?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I'm not really promoting it. I'm not. I don't put on my coaching shorts and in my whistle.

[JD]

And you've seen all the kids that get hurt and get the head injuries and go for life. I think you're doing the right thing, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nope. My kids, my daughter is the athletic one.

[JD]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And why are her brothers not athletic? I don't know. Nolan, you want to get on there and explain why you're not athletic? He just walked in. He just walked in. Son, why can't you play sports? Yeah, I mean, I want to understand this. He just walked in. He, he walked in here for a reason. He. You got to Put it.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

You won't let me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let you what?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Play sports.

[John Clay Wolf]

What sport do you want to play?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Football. Football.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so next summer.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Some countries, they call it soccer football. So don't think I want to go playing soccer again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you really want to play football?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Well, then next August, you're gonna sign up and you're gonna play football.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

That's a dream come true, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, well, I mean, I'm all in, but all that crybabying and it's hot, and I don't want to do this anymore. I did. I did this with Maddox, and he didn't want to finish the season twice. Do you promise you'll finish the season?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

And what if you say you won't? What do I do? I mean, I'm gonna make you finish.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

You're just gonna.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna drag you to football practice with a paddle. If you decide you work for me, John, I had to almost do that for the other one. I. I think you'll be fine. So. So you really do want to play?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, but. Okay, well, try then. It's all. No, there's a try. And I just want you to do it. I just want you to make sure you finish what you start. That's the key.

[Turley]

I was gonna say just play the first year. He likes it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Great. So you'll be in fourth grade next year?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

No, I'm gonna redo third.

[JD]

Redo third? He'll be in fourth. He's trying to be cute, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I wonder where he gets that.

[JD]

I don't know, Smart Alec. Can't imagine.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, third grade. I played football third grade. In the. In the mic. In the mic. In the mic. You gotta talk in the mic. In the end of it, bud. Do what now?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

You and mom have been talking about this for so long, and you don't remember why I'm doing third grade.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why?

[JD]

Oh, you are redoing third grade. I thought you were being silly.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Because when I go to a new school, you don't want me to be the youngest in the class.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's right.

[Turley]

I wish you could have convinced my.

[John Clay Wolf]

Kids of that, and you've already forgot it. I haven't forgot. I've just got a lot of kids, Nolan. It's hard to keep up with all y'. All. Your names and all your. Which shoes. You all wear these black Nikes. Everybody's got the same shoe, and, I mean, everybody's wearing each other's shoes and yelling at each other and smacking each other in the head.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

Why Do y' all argue so much?

[JD]

It's your dad's favorite.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

None of us like each other.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why is this in the mic?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Well, because. I don't really know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it just fun to argue with your brothers? Okay. There you go. All right, Nolan, go back to your other room and go play your video game. You don't need to be in here.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Being argumentative is a learned behavior.

[John Clay Wolf]

Trey in Texas. Good morning, Trey.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

What's going on, brother?

[John Clay Wolf]

Not much. What city in Texas?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Temple.

[John Clay Wolf]

Temple. Okay, tell me about chicken fighting.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

What do you want to know?

[John Clay Wolf]

So he says, family history and chicken fighting. So I'm gonna say your grandfather used to do it, your dad used to do it, and you went to chicken fights as a kid, and do you still do it?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, no, no, no, no, no. My granddaddy did it for 40 years. He actually. I'm not gonna say invented, but he bred a special type of chicken that actually they used for a long, long time. It's actually on the Internet. You can go on there, look at if you'd like.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was this chicken breed's name?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Well, it was a. They're. They're called Game. Game. Game Chicken.

[John Clay Wolf]

And, well, there's a football team named after that as well.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So your. Your grandpa. Is there a statue of him at the stadium in South Carolina?

[Bobbo Babbo]

No.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I just want to know who I'm talking to.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

He. He called.

[JD]

He.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

He developed the chicken that they call a witch do doctor.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

And you can go online and there's a. There was a man named Cecil Perkins. If you type that up, it should bring up the name and you'll see my grandpa's name in there. I can't really give you his name, but, I mean, he's dead now, but I mean it. But anyway, Chicken fighting. They. They don't use razors anymore. That was called knife fighting. They would put. They would put a 4 1/2 inch razor blade on the spur of the chicken. And usually the. The fight lasted one jump, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotcha.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

10 seconds to 20 seconds is all the fight would last. So when the chicken, they got the highest jump, he won because he cut the other one's head. Pull them off, usually.

[John Clay Wolf]

So.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

But then they.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are they doing now?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

They have gav fighting, which is like little dense needles, basically. I haven't been to a fight in a long time, so, I mean, I'm sure that's how they still do it. They are. Some of them are sanctions. There is a. There is a. A magazine, Game Talk magazine used to be I don't know if it's still out there, but of course, this was back in the. The mid-90s when my uncle stopped. My dad never did, but my granddaddy and my uncle did.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did they ever spend a night in the. Who scowl over it?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No. No. Let me tell you something. My granddad didn't. Fought in Louisiana.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I don't. I don't want to tell you what city, because it just doesn't matter. But a lot of those types, like, like Charles, I was saying was, you know, they. They're. You got a front, you know, your bar front, and then in the back room, you know, you got your chicken bite.

[John Clay Wolf]

And would they just lay side bets like a craps table at a. At a private party?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It's basically. It's basically just like any kind of gambling. The horse racing, dog racing, any kind of gambling. You know, you got. You know, you got. The two guys. The owners of the chickens aren't allowed in the pit. You have to have what they call a handler, and the handler handles the chickens in the pit, and the owner stands on the outside and they start fighting. And as soon as they start fighting, a lot of people, when they know who you are, like, if they say this is so and so's chicken, well, that's when the money comes out. And because they know they got a good chicken, just like a dog race or a horse race, you know, horses are supposed to be in. Well, that's the horse you're going to bet on. And so they would do that. They would have seven. They had seven cock derbies, and they had five cock derbies. And so they would, you know, each. Each owner would have their. Their amount of chickens that they would bring to. To the fight. And a lot of times it got pretty gruesome because, what. The chicken's dead. The chicken's dead. They just throw and dump straight out back.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why don't y' all eat it, huh? Why wouldn't they eat it? We eat chicken all the time. Chicken McNuggets.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

You don't. You don't eat these chickens.

[JD]

These are roosters, aren't they?

[John Clay Wolf]

They don't taste good.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Most of these chickens are filled with steroids and, you know, all kinds of.

[John Clay Wolf]

They've been lifting.

[JD]

They've been lifting.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[JD]

The prison yard. They've been lifting.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, basically, that's what it is. I mean, you. I tell you what, guys, it's funny.

[Bobbo Babbo]

It was.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It was awesome to watch my grandpa train because he'd actually put little baby boxing gloves on their gas on the. On the spurs first. And they would actually sit there and fight and punch each other in the face with little, little leather boxing gloves.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Shut up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Shut up. Stop it. No. Stop it.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

That's how you train them.

[John Clay Wolf]

Clock is a prize.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

You're not gonna put your prize chicken up there to fight a younger chicken that's gonna kill him on accident, you know? So they put boxing gloves on them and my grandpa actually won 10, seven cock derbies. And they gave him a set of gabs, a silver, A pure silver gabs with his initials on them and all that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, my God. What? Hannah? Are you guys talking about roosters fighting roosters?

[JD]

Kind of hot. Why.

[John Clay Wolf]

Killing animals? We've got this stripper gal that's one of our co hosts and she's. She's. I gotta shut her up.

[JD]

Roosters are awesome.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you say I had like, like seven roosters? Okay. What? Trey. Oh, God.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

There was a lot of. A lot of money changing hands, just so you know. A lot of money.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, thank you for this week's history and chicken fighting.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No problem, man.

[JD]

Meantime.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Hey. Yeah.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

We do have a car I was going to ask you about.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Oh, yeah, I bet. Is the mo. Is the motor, Is the tranny hanging? Is it assembled?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, it's actually an awesome car. It's my wife's car. It says 2016 Subaru Crosstrek with less than 16,000 miles on.

[John Clay Wolf]

That doesn't sound like a car that a pro chicken fighter would be driving his family.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I'm not a pro chicken, but I was a little kid, man, when I. I wouldn't chicken fries. I never did it myself, you know, I just. Plus, it's my wife. I wouldn't never drive it. I don't even drive them now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. But are you a.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

For what kind of money we get for that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you Ford, Chevy or Dodge?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Man, I am a whatever runs good and gets out of mud. Good. Cuz I go to the deer leaks a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, you've got a Crosstrek now that it's not the hybrid.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a limited, premium or a base?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Limited.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Does it have a sunroof, navigation, leather?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, no. It's got navigation. It's got navigation but no sunroof.

[John Clay Wolf]

20,000.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

20,000. Would you buy it from me for 20,000?

[John Clay Wolf]

I sure would if it's what I'm thinking it is. Go to givemetheven.com, put the VIN number in there, send me some pictures, and we'll confirm that a 16 Subaru. 16 Subaru Crosstrek Limited with 16,000 miles and a clean carfax. Not some salvage rebuilt job. Okay.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Absolutely clean. Matter of fact, she got it whenever somebody crashed her and they had to pay her off and get a brand new one.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll buy it. Yeah. Go to givemetheven.com, load it up. We'll even come get it. Yeah, that'll be awesome because originally I.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Had a 14, but I had a terrible car wreck and when I got my settlement, I went back and to the same car that saved my bacon.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Voices too good for y'. All.

[John Clay Wolf]

Awesome. Thanks guys. Go to givethevin.com load it up.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, it's a four door.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's the four door version. Most of them are twos. Okay.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, four door black. It's got everything pretty much except the navigation.

[John Clay Wolf]

Black. Anything wrong with it?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, super clean, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't need. Don't need to put a windshield in it. Don't need to paint the bumper. Don't need to redo the seats.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Nope. It's my wife's car. She take a lot care of it than I take care of.

[John Clay Wolf]

What does she weigh?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

What does she weigh? My wife?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Buck 20.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. That tells me it's crazy as that sounds. If you said like, you know, 280, then it changes things.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Seat.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

The seat lady, man. You understand?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I don't know.

[Turley]

John Wolf did not say that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I did not say anything. I'm just. I'm just. I'm asking to see what kind of seats we got. Buck 20. We got. We got good seats.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah, that's good, Stu. Really taken care of. It's her daily driver, man, but don't have a job or anything, so she doesn't go far.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think he's upset with me about asking about what his wife weighs. Is it a journey?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Not at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a journey or a limited?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

It's a journey.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Is she here? Is she in the car with you?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

No, no, she's at home.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you weigh?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Me?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

2.2 20.

[Uncle Norman]

Yeah.

[JD]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

How old are you?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. That's going to turn into 245.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Babbo]

You're looking at a new set of shocks pretty soon.

[John Clay Wolf]

And trust me when I say this because. Because it's just. It's unfortunate. No, I'm just talking about my own personal problems. No, hey, I'm working on it.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I'm working on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I hear you. How many beers, how many alcoholic beverages do you have a week?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Oh, man, 21. None really. Just on. I'm a social drinker. Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

How so social are you? Do you think it's six a week or 20 a week?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Oh, man, when I. When I. When I was that social. Probably, man, I want to say probably six pack a week or something.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not much. Then you might hold that 220 for a while. Yeah, I'll give. I'll give. I'll give, I'll give. What city? Crosby. Where's Crosby?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

North of Baytown.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I'll give. Nine grand.

[Bobbo Babbo]

And we're back.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning, everyone. Almost noon on the St Patrick's Day. My name is John Clay wolf. We got J.D. on my right.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Hello.

[John Clay Wolf]

Turley on my left. There he is, Bavo, dead center.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Dead center.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dead center, to the right. Good morning, Bob.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Bearing down on you, daddy.

[John Clay Wolf]

NFL free agency. Texans get the Honey Badger. The Cowboys do nothing. Who is the Honey Badger?

[Turley]

Thomas Tyron, Matthew, the best safety. Well, one of the best safeties in NFL.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Turley]

Badass. All it took was a text from Watt from the Texans to say, hey, come play with us. One year, eight million.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Cowboys could do that.

[Turley]

They need a safety.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who does he play for now or who did it?

[Turley]

He played for the Cardinals. He came from lsu. Everybody in Louisiana knows who he is. The Honey Badger.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you know that running back's doing well for Fornet. Who's he play for?

[Turley]

Yeah, the Jags.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah.

[Turley]

But the Cowboys are just kind of doing nothing. They're just sitting there watching. They need safety. They need linebackers. I mean they. They need a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, my. My father in law is from Denmark and he's over here right now and he's like, why are the Cowboys still such a big deal? They haven't won a championship in 25 years. Forever.

[JD]

I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why is he. Why does anyone still talk about him?

[JD]

He's kind of got a really good point.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's got a decent dude.

[JD]

They really talk about him anywhere other than North Texas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. They're the Yankees of the worldwide sports brand for sure.

[JD]

Getting ready to be the Chicago Cubs.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or the Chicago Bears.

[JD]

Nobody cares.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Bears won right before the Cowboys and they haven't done anything since. Hold on.

[Bobbo Babbo]

What are you talking about, J.D.

[JD]

What are you talking about?

[Bobbo Babbo]

Nobody cares.

[JD]

I'm really Dallas.

[Bobbo Babbo]

About the Dallas damn Cowboys.

[JD]

Why would they care about the Cowboys? They haven't done anything forever. Every time they look like they're gonna do something, they don't tell you.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Like my nanny said, you better tell me. Okay. My maternal grandmother. Hush your mouth.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[JD]

Okay. Get your back up. Get all upset about the Cowboys. Maybe they'll do nothing again this year.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Man. Hey, hey. J.R. ewing von Eric family. Dallas Cowboys. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Johnny. Speaking of cowboy, he's got a King Ranch. Johnny. Good morning.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

How's it going, fellas?

[John Clay Wolf]

What city?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

The Woodlands.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotcha. Are you a Cowboys or Texans fan?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I'm a Cowboys fan living in Houston. It gets rough sometimes.

[Bobbo Babbo]

No doubt.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I asked that because there's a lot of Cowboys fans in Houston. I think that downtime between Oilers and Texans was. Was everybody got on the. A lot of people root for.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

But that's what started it for me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. The Texans are trouble Club win a championship. Yeah. So we got a 15 king ranch with 43. Leather roof nav. What color?

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Black.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. And it's got 43. So it's out of factory warranty. Yep. Does that thing have a transmission engine? Factory Warranty up to 50. Or is it just 36? 36. 336.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

I forget you got me on the warranty part, but I do believe the transmission got a little bit more than your standard. Bought it with 9,000 miles on it. Most of those miles are highway for me. Not that that matter, but I do outside sales. So. Most of my stuff's on the freeway. But I got a payoff on it. I'm looking to see. I'm Interested in selling it. And matter of fact, I almost told you one about 18 months ago. Almost bought your. You had a black and tan F250 King Ranch. I was interested in. In buying that. We talk offline a time or two, but anyways, back around to see what, what you got.

[John Clay Wolf]

I remembered why I don't deal with the public on selling.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

What's that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Then I remembered why I never price cars to the public. Because it's always. It's just hard. It's just, you know, I just sell to dealers in auctions because, you know, you can get that check and be done. Win, lose or draw. Be done, be done, be done with the public, you know, of course, for good reason. It's a larger investment and it just takes more time and a lot of hand holding, a lot of decision making. And that's just not what I do. I just buy them and then I make my 300 bucks and I sell them the next day. Or I mean, I say I make my 300 bucks. Some make two grand, some lose three. The average is 300 bucks. And it works. We just do a ton of it. This car is. Yeah, right. I've been doing it 22 years. This car is worth 35,000 bucks.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

35,000, yep. That'll take care of the payoff. I'm gonna, I'm gonna load it up into your website. I haven't done that yet. I'll send you some picture, but it's flawless. Okay, 35 will probably get it done for me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good man. Thanks for calling. Great.

[Caller/Buyer (e.g., John Peterson aka Boots)]

Have a good one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Give me the vin.com and people don't.

[Turley]

Believe that you actually lose to.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh God. We lose all the time. It's embarrassing.

[Turley]

Would you like to hear the audio of a loss on a demon?

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[Turley]

Yeah. Here's what.

[JD]

It's the Dodge team.

[Turley]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

So guy calls in the radio show a month ago, prices me this car for 105. I said I'll take it. Then he goes to 107, says, I still say I'll take it. It's a, it's a 18, Dodge Demon MSRP. He gave 93, 000.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Real low miles. So he's making what's new.

[JD]

Brand new.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. And he's just flipping it off to me to make a profit because it's a high demand car. And then he welched. I mean, I'm sorry if you're listening. It's just the truth. You welch. We made a deal. You welch. We made another deal. You welched and then you put it on ebay. And it brought 110, but nobody paid for it. The guy wouldn't pay for it. Right, okay. And so you said. So I was gone. And they went ahead and gave you 111. And here's what I sold it for.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Five.

[John Clay Wolf]

So right here, we're at 110. Okay. And, you know, we gave him 111 or maybe 111 five.

[JD]

But then somebody goes, hey, that's a bit.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're bidding on thousands. And so we. We got money at 90, and it went to 110. 109 is where it is. And I'm like, you know, we gave 111 or 112, but we had to go pick it up, and I had to make the guys pay off, and we had to do this and that. So we really. I've got another 500 in it. So at 110 from 111 or 111.5, whatever it was, I'm losing two grand with the selfie and all that.

[JD]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm like, why is this car not doing more? Because there were some examples of cars bringing more three weeks ago.

[JD]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's coming down.

[JD]

So demons lost its shine a little bit.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Turley]

We're just a little late.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we're just a little late to the party of the people that couldn't get them ordered new.

[Uncle Norman]

Got it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we're over overpaying heavily. So I'm looking at a guy that I know retails specialty cars like this, and he's sitting there looking at me, and you'll hear me yell, frank, if I've ever done you a favor, I'm trying to do you one right now, because I'm fixing to sell this back. Of what, the current. Where everybody else owns theirs.

[JD]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he still didn't hit. So you can go ahead. You can hear what I say. So it lost like 2 grand or $2,500 or what? What was the loss on it?

[Turley]

Like, 2 grand?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Okay. You know what happens. But then Beyonce's Rolls, same thing. I don't know. Did we ever get an adjustment out of them on the paint work that they didn't disclose?

[Turley]

I don't know. Not that I know of. I haven't heard anything.

[John Clay Wolf]

That car lost 6,000.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was a good chunk. Yeah.

[JD]

That was because of the paint.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Repainted door and repainted fender. When you're in a car like that, it's a big deal.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Turley]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they didn't disclose it. Just bottom line. And I'm not seeing Beyonce's dad didn't disclose it. His. His guy didn't disclose, and we asked him straight up. So we need to get that handled, too, because, I mean, I'm cool, taking some loss, but I hate losing on misdescription on a car like that. When I ask, flat out.

[JD]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

And when we're doing these deals, guys, just when we ask you questions, but please be honest. Cuz had our drivers caught it when they got there, sure, we would cut it on a car like that, a little car, big deal. No big deal. $8,000 car, no big deal. Unless it's nasty.

[JD]

It's 100 grand.

[John Clay Wolf]

They want 150 grand. It's a $450,000 new car. It ain't no BS. I mean, it's real business.

[JD]

It's a house, a good house.

[John Clay Wolf]

If it's got a plumbing leak, I need to know it.

[JD]

A nice house.

[Turley]

Foundation's off a little.

[John Clay Wolf]

When I'm willing to move it for $1,000, I'm going to buy this thing from you, do all the handling of it, pay it off for you, move it, remarket it, and I'm gonna make at the end of the deal, 500 bucks. Yeah. I need to know what I'm buying.

[JD]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Little ones, fine, whatever. But the big ones, we need to know, you know, if it's. If It's a Porsche 911, a 97. If it's this, it's that, and it's got an oil leak, we need to know it. When we ask for the service records, we're asking for a reason. If it's a diesel and it's blowing white smoke, we need to know it. If it needs injectors, they cost 3,000. If it's got a motor knock, we need to know it. Because when we get there, we're gonna stop the deal. Doesn't happen very often. It really doesn't. I mean, it's amazing how well we do and how honest our sellers are.

[JD]

You've said that before.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, it's. It's a really good relationship. And I believe it starts with this radio show. I feel like they feel like they have a connection to me, and I. Do they. And that we're friends and we don't want to screw each other. But Beyonce's dad got to me, and. And I. It wasn't him. It was. It was his guy. And he needs to. He needs to make good on it, if he hadn't already. Please. Professional to professional. Ah. Because when I buy them from dealerships that's the way it works. If the Mercedes store calls me on some lamborghini and it's got undisclosed paint work on it, we're gonna have to change one.

[JD]

They come back.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, if it's got a bad clutch in it, it's gonna cost, you know, $8,000 to fix it. It's gotta be fixed. Somebody's gotta fix it.

[JD]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sorry. Maybe.

[JD]

Speaking of cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Am I sore loser? Is that what. I'm starting to get hurt a little bit.

[JD]

That's the thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll tell you what's hurting us is these junk ass high mile trucks. And that's why on the. I mean, you know, 180000 miles. Oh, it's clean as a pin. I want 20 grand. Yeah. It's just not. It's just not. I mean here's Richard in Texas. We got to drive these things. I know they get miles on them. But just understand it's not the same truck as 105. And it's not the same truck as 80. And it's damn sure not the same truck as 30. Richard, good morning. Are you there? Richard with 165,000 mile F150. I lost him. Or he didn't want to talk because he hears me bitching.

[Turley]

You know.

[John Clay Wolf]

An extended cab F150XLT, not XL is going to be $6,000 on a 2011 165. Back when I was young and they had a hundred thousand miles on, there were 500. They're still doing good. But the damn lenders keep loaning money on this stuff and it breaks down. That's what's causing the market to hold up so much on these high miles. We're out of time. We got 45 seconds left. Whatever news you have.

[JD]

I had a Ford recall deal where the steering wheels coming off on certain Ford cars. But we'll do that next week.

[Turley]

It'll still come off.

[JD]

Big deal. No big deal. Ah, but if you're driving a Lincoln mkz or a ford Fusion from 2014 to 2018. Jesus. Take the wheel. Just saying.

[John Clay Wolf]

Highline cars. We want them. Vets. We're buying with both hands. We're in vet season. Porsches, diesel trucks, all trucks. All good cars. We make our best. I like 08. Anything with 80 a good car. That's the best one to have. That's one everybody wants.

[Bobbo Babbo]

That's right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we buy them all. But just junk, junk, junk. Nah, it's not me anyway. Give me the vin.com. load them up. We'll buy them. We're buying left and right. Thanks for tuning in. We'll see you next Saturday. I'm out.

[Bobbo Babbo]

Back to the money tab is money.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.
