Givemethevin.com Announcer
Give me the vin. The John Clay Wolf Show.
Mike
Unbelievable.
J.D. Ryan
He just goes down the hall, just.
Mike
Like, oh, the show's starting everywhere in Houston.
J.D. Ryan
He did this to me in Houston. He went out there and smoked a cigarette downstairs in the lobby, then got locked out. I'm standing there. You know the worst nightmare in the world, if anybody's ever been to radio? Is that the mics come on. You have no music. You have no one to talk to. You have nothing to say. You're standing there looking at a microphone. That was my Houston experience. And now Pablo did it again.
Mike
I'm here, J.D. ryan.
J.D. Ryan
I know you're here for me. Thank you, Michael.
Bobbo
Hey, why don't y' all cry me a river?
J.D. Ryan
Anyway, why don't you sit in your seat?
Mike
You know, let's just get to the news, J.D.
John Clay Wolf
Just.
DJ Prek
Just forget.
J.D. Ryan
Forget about. We have some. I guess we can do these again later because there's some funny ones in here. I hate to. I mean, the cool kids are up now, of course. A Monroe, Louisiana woman is facing burglary charges after she allegedly broke into a home and had a snack in the bathtub. Shouldn't be a problem, other than the fact she was breaking into the house. The homeowner returned to find Evelyn Washington, age 29, naked in her bathtub eating Cheetos. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. When cops arrived, the bathtub was still full of water and a plate full of food, half eaten Cheetos sitting on the toilet next to the tub. Coincidence that it happened before 20.
Mike
I was about to say it really was.
J.D. Ryan
That's a true story, though. And in Monroe, Louisiana. Are we on in Monroe?
Mike
Yeah. Louisiana.
John Clay Wolf
Somewhere.
J.D. Ryan
Somewhere. Somewhere in Louisiana. That could have happened anywhere in Louisiana. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced yesterday that his country will suspend missile testing and close all the nuclear test sites.
John Clay Wolf
And we believe him.
J.D. Ryan
The announcement comes amid preparation for the big meeting later this year between President Trump, Donald J. Trump, and the North Korean dictator. During the summit, Trump said he expects to talk to Kim about denuclearizing North Korea, as well as where he gets that snappy haircut.
Mike
Do you really think they had a nuclear program anyway? I mean, come on. It's a joke. It's a joke.
J.D. Ryan
They can't get fireworks to work.
Bobbo
Yeah, I don't think anybody had a nuclear program. They may have had a nuclear program.
Mike
He's making fun of Bush, you hillbilly.
J.D. Ryan
Nuclear. Nuclear program. You don't think they have one at all?
John Clay Wolf
No.
J.D. Ryan
You ever see the. You ever see the video of the jet, this big new fighter jet they supposedly had and it turned out to be literally a model of a mock up.
Mike
Everything there is fake. It's a big stage because they, they try to pretend they're somebody, you know, imagine them doing.
J.D. Ryan
Trying to. Actually trying to fire off a nuclear. Nuclear.
Mike
I know.
J.D. Ryan
You must push the nuclear.
Bobbo
Am I nuts to think this may actually be taking place though? I mean, am I overly optimistic?
J.D. Ryan
You don't think it's even happening at all? I think.
Bobbo
Well, he met with South Korea's leader. He met with the president of China last week.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, I think he.
Bobbo
I think Kim Jong Un got to Beijing and saw those sky skyscrapers and airports, right. And big Coca Cola billboards, you know, and said, why not me?
J.D. Ryan
Why shouldn't we do this?
Mike
Yeah, hashtag why not me?
J.D. Ryan
Why not me? Me too. Hashtag, me too. So you think that's. That's what it's all about?
Bobbo
I think it's quite possible that it's.
J.D. Ryan
All about Coca Cola billboards.
Bobbo
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
North Korea could be, man. It's very fun. Let's see what else? Oh, do you drive the tollway, Bobbo, at all?
Bobbo
Hardly ever.
J.D. Ryan
Hardly ever.
Bobbo
A lot of.
J.D. Ryan
A lot of folks do. The Texas Department of Transportation will waive more than 1.3 billion. That's with a B billion in late fines and fees owed by those who drove on its tollways since 2007.
Mike
Wait, what?
J.D. Ryan
11 years, man.
Mike
The holdout.
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Mike
Seriously, Everybody's held out. This is awesome news, J.D.
J.D. Ryan
Finally, it finally paid off. Not paying those fees. A response is to a cap in such fees actually imposed last year by the legislature. So they basically said, okay, when it gets to a certain point, we're not going to charge you anymore.
Mike
The decision applies, so just keep charging it up.
J.D. Ryan
Well, this is the late fees. Okay. So I think they still going to come after you for the actual toll.
Mike
Which is half the fees.
J.D. Ryan
Which is half the fees. And then it multiplies up times. This is only on the TxDOT in the roads, by the way. I've got a lot of toll bills.
John Clay Wolf
How do you know, dude?
J.D. Ryan
Because I know you don't pay them.
John Clay Wolf
Well, how do you know?
J.D. Ryan
Well, because you've talked about these before. You got a whole stack one day and we talked about this.
John Clay Wolf
A big stack.
J.D. Ryan
I know you do.
John Clay Wolf
So what. What your revelation is.
J.D. Ryan
These are. The Texas Department of Transportation will waive more than 1.3 billion with a B. Now, this is late.
John Clay Wolf
So did I do good by hanging on and waiting it out?
J.D. Ryan
Late fines. Late fines and fees.
John Clay Wolf
Told you, Connie.
J.D. Ryan
Owed by those who drove on the Toro. Now, this is only the TX roads. If you travel on one of the other ones.
John Clay Wolf
What other ones are there?
J.D. Ryan
There's a lot of independent and private roads.
John Clay Wolf
Like the Hood.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, Right. When it goes through Como. When reached for comment. Every single day.
John Clay Wolf
Hotel road. You pay in Pooty tank.
J.D. Ryan
Anyway, so basically they. They came out with legislation last year that said, we're going to cap off the fees. You can't. It's not going to be a million dollars if you never pay them. So they just said, at this point, we're going to wash them and we're going to start.
John Clay Wolf
I ask you this. I'm just asking for a friend.
J.D. Ryan
Ask me for a friend.
John Clay Wolf
Just ask it for a friend.
J.D. Ryan
Asking for a friend.
John Clay Wolf
What's the cap?
J.D. Ryan
I don't even know what the individual cap is. I have no idea.
John Clay Wolf
Is there a business cap?
J.D. Ryan
I don't know. It's different.
John Clay Wolf
Businesses apply to that.
J.D. Ryan
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Anyone who has.
John Clay Wolf
But you don't know what it doesn't say with them. You said they're going to cap it off. Do they say what that number is?
J.D. Ryan
I can look it up for you. It's not in the store.
John Clay Wolf
We don't. Don't stop what you're doing. But for a friend. But. But during a break or so, please remember, look it up. Because this is like, probably a bigger issue in my problem. In my. Everybody has a problem stack. Yeah, it's probably big. Pretty big issue. My problem stack.
J.D. Ryan
You got an envelope one day that had a stack of these.
John Clay Wolf
No, it wasn't a stack. It was about. No, it was about a foot. Yeah, about a foot. Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Of. Of fees.
Bobbo
They're not.
J.D. Ryan
Let's. Let's be clear. They're not all you. You have a lot of vehicles.
John Clay Wolf
None of them are me. Let's be real clear. Let's be real clear. They're not me. They're sent to the wrong people. It's fraud. It's damned wrong.
J.D. Ryan
Correct.
John Clay Wolf
And these dealer tags, these black and white dealer tags that they're putting back on me because People are driving the toll roads, you know, how do those little cameras know that it's not a six and it's nine or it's.
J.D. Ryan
That's exactly right. I mean, how do we know? So it's awesome.
John Clay Wolf
I wasn't driving it. I don't know.
J.D. Ryan
It's fraud. And you don't. Yeah, you don't deserve to pay.
John Clay Wolf
And I'm will pay a hush fee just to shut everybody up.
Bobbo
That's unconstitutional.
John Clay Wolf
You know, 500,000. Not the 500,000 right.
J.D. Ryan
That they actually want.
Mike
Right.
John Clay Wolf
What were you saying, Don Corleone? People driving down these highways, charging me money.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
Bobbo
My granddaddy built that highway.
John Clay Wolf
Unconstitutional.
J.D. Ryan
Not the tollway. He.
Bobbo
I want to drive my truck up Plano. Smoking on a dude.
J.D. Ryan

John Clay Wolf
Speaking of the Doobie Brothers, they're playing at the new Toyota Music Pavilion here.
Bobbo
Make me pay $4. Go to Plano.
J.D. Ryan
Right. Then stay off the tollway.
Bobbo
Ain't gonna do it.
John Clay Wolf
Good morning, Houston. Good morning, Oklahoma City. Good morning, Midland, Lousiana, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin. Everywhere in between. If you don't know where Plano is, that's right up the street from Dallas. Used to be a farm field back in the 80s.
J.D. Ryan
Used to be.
John Clay Wolf
Then Ross Perot. Big eared Ross.
J.D. Ryan
We're gonna have a big plan.

John Clay Wolf
Radio theater, is that like.

J.D. Ryan
You just like it. He's like, well, today wasn't punctual.
John Clay Wolf
I like. I like being right on.
J.D. Ryan
If your pants are in your arms, you're not on time. How about that?
John Clay Wolf
This is a decent comment. We lost Uncle Roy.
Scooter

J.D. Ryan
I had to go pick up a car in Dallas. And I went to all the trouble of getting him headphones and he had to go to Dallas. He's like, I'm out of here. See you later.
John Clay Wolf
It's always something.
J.D. Ryan
He's great. God, he's great. He's so. He's radio gold.
John Clay Wolf
So, Turley, the. The Pooh bet in the office. You have a bet going on?
Mike
Yes. We had a payoff. So there's one gentleman in the office.
John Clay Wolf
It's like the. What do you call it in the north side where the chicken poops on the square or the cow patty. Cow poops on a.
J.D. Ryan
It's chicken blank Bing Bingo.
John Clay Wolf
And then they do Longhorn blank Bing Bingo. On a football field.
J.D. Ryan
Correct.
John Clay Wolf
Where they cut it in squares.
J.D. Ryan
Right.
John Clay Wolf
Squares.
J.D. Ryan
And then the animal walks around until it does its thing. And wherever it does its thing, that's the winner.
John Clay Wolf
So Turley Y' all bought a square on one of our. Give me the VIN buyers. On what? He goes to the bathroom every morning and stays for extended stay.
Mike
Yes, he's extended stay for sure.
J.D. Ryan
So people notice that when this particular person goes to the bathroom, it's 30, 40 one day. One day was in there. They thought he died. It was an hour.
John Clay Wolf
Like Elvis Doubt.
J.D. Ryan
Literally. They literally thought that.
Mike
Yeah, our mixing. One of the managers came running and he goes, hey, hey, everybody got a dollar? We're taking bets right now how long it's going to take. And we're like, oh yeah, everybody's in.
John Clay Wolf
So y' all are picking a. A time on the clock of what time the door cracks or where's the finish line?
Mike
The flush and the exit of the door. Not the first. Cuz there's something.
John Clay Wolf
The flush is different than the door exit, dude.
Mike
So there's the flush and then the exit of the door.
John Clay Wolf
So when does the, when does the, when does the Timex stop?
Mike
So once he exits the door open and who's watching?
John Clay Wolf
Well, the.
Mike
Where the bathroom's located, Mixon can see him exit from that bathroom.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
J.D. Ryan
He literally can look down the hall.
John Clay Wolf
So the Mixon has an eye on the door, on the finish line.
Mike
Yes. And so we're all like steam.
John Clay Wolf
Because.
Mike
The offices are separated. So one half of the office doesn't know what's going on.
John Clay Wolf
No.
Mike
Well, another buyer, Craig, he's commentating with a text.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, he's updating. Oh yes, he's giving everybody up in the other room.
Mike
One flush down. Oh, he's still here.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, it's still going on. They heard it.
J.D. Ryan
Man said we're still holding on the bad.
Mike
Oh, he's. There's a loud groan there. Oh, this could be longer. He's updating.
John Clay Wolf
Are y' all running? So to, to enter the game, you just pick a time on the clock and what clock are you using? The clock on big wall.
Mike
The big official clock on the wall.
John Clay Wolf
The official clock.
Mike
Yes, the official.
John Clay Wolf
Well, what's the Olympics clock name? Remember is always on the bottom right hand side of the corner.
J.D. Ryan
Elgin.

John Clay Wolf
It's like waiting to have a baby at the hospital, right? Oh, yeah. Up, up. I think we're honey warm the car up.

Mike
Yeah, yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Normally something greasy makes a little bit faster.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it just. I just threw up in my mouth.
J.D. Ryan
It speeds it up by seven to nine minutes. It does if it's got a little grease to it.
John Clay Wolf
That's nasty. Stop. Everybody just stop. So is. Is he just now finding out that y' all did this, or did you let him know that day?

I'm not the first one to say that.
John Clay Wolf
800, 800 radio.
J.D. Ryan
Hey, John, do you have an airplane? No, I don't have a plane. You talk about it on the radio, man.
John Clay Wolf
I've just got an old airplane.
J.D. Ryan
It's an old airplane.
John Clay Wolf
It is. I've got to do something with that airplane.
DJ Prek
Why?
John Clay Wolf
I don't fly anymore. It's a baron. It's a 1972 nice beach crap baron. It's good. It's great.
J.D. Ryan
Great airplane.
John Clay Wolf
But it needs a paint job and it needs. The engines are high time. Sure. So by the book, it needs new engines, which it doesn't. It'll go another 500 hours. But I'm just done. I don't want to start spending money on it. It's not worth it. The re. The. It's like cars. It's what I tell people. Hey, man, throw it away. And the plane's definitely not a throwaway. It's nice rig.
J.D. Ryan
No, it's beautiful.
John Clay Wolf
But it would cost way more than it's worth to get it.
J.D. Ryan
Get it all done.
John Clay Wolf
Perfect.
J.D. Ryan
New new engines.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, yeah. Oh, God.
J.D. Ryan

J.D. Ryan
Sell it.
John Clay Wolf
Sell it or donate it?
J.D. Ryan
Sell it.
John Clay Wolf
Sell that or donate it. Because I think you can get a tax write off this like the. The donation amount would be the book. It still has a big book value.
DJ Prek
You can.
John Clay Wolf
So you get about the same money you do.
J.D. Ryan
Airplanes, boats, everything. RVs. You can donate all of them.

J.D. Ryan
No, you were one of the baskets.
Scooter
Who stays in the bathroom for 40 minutes while it works.
J.D. Ryan

John Clay Wolf
Ooh, I like that. Yeah, like a hotel electronic key card.
Bobbo
Hell, yes.
Mike

John Clay Wolf
Under their skin, too.
Mike
Mixum said he was on the phone. It sounded like he was doing business.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, in there?
DJ Prek
Really?
John Clay Wolf
That always sounds good. There's no echo or anything.
J.D. Ryan
So let me ask you about this.
John Clay Wolf
Car. Is that a sidewall blowout?
Bobbo
Yeah. How many times have you talked on the phone in a bathroom?
John Clay Wolf
A lot.
Bobbo
Tell me this, and somebody asks you.
J.D. Ryan
Are you in the bathroom almost every.
John Clay Wolf
Time when you think you're just in Houston. 08 Dodge Ram with 60 on it. Crew cab. Does it have 20s or the 18s? So is it. Is it the small motor or the 5 7?
Caller/Customer
It's a 5 7.
John Clay Wolf
It's got 18s average. Rough or clean?
Caller/Customer
It's clean.
John Clay Wolf
Is it yours or like, did you inherit it?
Roy
That's mine.
John Clay Wolf
Because 67,000 miles is really low miles on 08 kind of. You haven't used it Much. How long have you had it?
Caller/Customer
I've had about two months.
John Clay Wolf
So why are you selling it?
Caller/Customer
I'm just kind of seeing what I can get for it. Really?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. But I mean, let's assume that what you're going to get for it is, did you buy it or did you inherit it?
Caller/Customer
I bought it.
John Clay Wolf
What'd you pay for it?
Caller/Customer
I paid 11. 1.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, you can't get that, but yeah, I think it's a night. I think it's a nine grander.
Caller/Customer
Nine grand.
John Clay Wolf
And if that works, go to givemetheven.com. load it up. We'll buy it. Pedro. Vote for Pedro. Vote for Pedro. Pedro in Dallas has a bitching brand new showroom condition 99 Honda Accord. Pedro, you've been getting all the babes. You are big pimping. He hadn't even been to bed yet.
J.D. Ryan
No, no, of course, no. He's been silly.
John Clay Wolf
He's trying to throw women out of this car right now.
J.D. Ryan
Don't even turn the motor off, Pedro.
John Clay Wolf
Does it still have paint on it or did it come off with the sun?
Caller/Customer
Oh, no, it has. It doesn't come off with the sun.
John Clay Wolf
It did.
Caller/Customer
Yeah, it's starting to come off.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's got the. It's the space shuttle. Re entry burn is what we call that. It's on the hood in the top of the roof. And it's just like the Challenger.
J.D. Ryan
Looks like he came in through the atmosphere.
John Clay Wolf
Which one blew up?
J.D. Ryan
Well, that's a Columbia Challenger.
Bobbo
Both.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, they both blew up.
J.D. Ryan
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Is this car still in one piece, Pedro?
Caller/Customer
Oh, yeah. Besides, I got a little major dent in the back door.
John Clay Wolf
So here. Pedro, if you read a dealership, if you took it into trade into a dealership, they would write on the appraisal form these three letters. Pos and everybody knows what that means. You know what that means? So, POS is ACV, which is actual cash value. About 200 bucks. 2 to 500 bucks.
Caller/Customer
500 bucks.
John Clay Wolf
2 to 500. It's like when you're with a woman and she says, I'll let you go to first base and maybe to third. Third base. Yeah. No, hang on. I need dinner, I need drinks. I need somebody tell me they love me. Maybe two to five hundred bucks. But I would give you a hundred dollars if you'll just keep it. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800. 800. Radio. Pedro's gonna call in. He's gonna be slamming his fisting my 100 bucks. You said.
Bobbo

Bobbo
What? What was my theme from the G. The Story.
John Clay Wolf
And it's on YouTube. Hey, DJ, if you'll take that and pull it up and put it on the John Clay Wolf show Facebook page, please. The Bobo's Gay House episode.
Bobbo
I don't remember having a theme.
John Clay Wolf
He lived with Bobby, Bill, Jimmy and George. Oh, that.
Mike

John Clay Wolf
Right, and we have it. We put it up. We clipped it out and posted it, what, years ago.
Bobbo
What would the theme have been?
John Clay Wolf
The theme was you were living with three gay men and you were happy with it.
Bobbo
Okay, I thought you're talking about a song theme like I Ran so far away.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, it just. It's. It's a wonderful moment. Radio broadcast history.
Bobbo
Yeah. I've had a funny life, man.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bobbo
You know?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bobbo
Like sometimes I think, like, why me?
John Clay Wolf
Like the judge sang about, and then.
Bobbo
I come back to myself and say, well, you know what? Hey, why not me?
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Can you sing that one on the guitar?
Bobbo
I don't know.
John Clay Wolf
Why not me?
Bobbo
No.
John Clay Wolf
That's be great having Bobbo sing Judd Music.
J.D. Ryan
Hell, no.
John Clay Wolf
We'll take him to Babe's Chicken House and put him in the corner and have him sing Judd music. Perfect. Perfect.
J.D. Ryan
Perfect. Speaking of people in our shop. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio, they have amazing talent we found this week. It may not be the time yet to debut this, but one of our staff members on this show currently actually has a rap video online that we found this week or two.
Mike
Who could that be?
J.D. Ryan
Who could it be?
John Clay Wolf
I. I got a feeling. Let's guess.
J.D. Ryan
Not me or Joe.
John Clay Wolf
Is it Bobo? Is it J.D. is it John? Is it Turley? Or is it DJ Prek?
J.D. Ryan
There's an actual Believe it or not video.
John Clay Wolf
We need to post those up on the Does He Know page. Also, does he even know we have it?
Mike
I don't know if he knows.
John Clay Wolf
Dj, you there?
DJ Prek
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Have you seen that Turley dug up some of your past?
DJ Prek
Oh, yeah, man. I showed it to the office. You know, showed it to the byroom.
John Clay Wolf
So in 2015, which would be three years ago, you decided to make a rap video and a song about you smoking pot in a parking lot. And that's really the gist of it.
DJ Prek
Hey, man, they say rap. What? You know.
Mike
Well, here's the. Here's a little bit of who flip of this song.
John Clay Wolf
This is it.
DJ Prek
Oh, don't do it. Oh, my God. Music never sounded better. Young man living life to the level.
John Clay Wolf
Sitting in the parking lot. Sitting in a parking lot, smoking weed.
Mike
Don't give a damn if it's dark or not.
John Clay Wolf
Did y' all give you one thing? I mean, the. The. The lyrics, the content, the music writing sucks. But the production, I appreciate it. The production and the delivery sounds pretty good.
Mike
Is that you doing that? And who's. Who's doing the lyrics and stuff? Is that all you?
DJ Prek
Yeah, man, that's all me, man. I don't need no ghost riders.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Bobbo
How old were you in 2015, though?
DJ Prek
2015. I was probably about 24.
Bobbo
24. So he's writing like a 24 year old.
John Clay Wolf
I think that if you and he cut together. Yeah, collaborating like Loggins and Messina, like Brooks and Dunn. Right. Yeah, you could. Y' all might be able to make rap history.
Bobbo
Sweet. Love throwing on a Saturday night.
John Clay Wolf
Do we have a white, black, Latino, rather? We're not gonna do it right now, but do we have one for later?
DJ Prek
Oh, yeah, we got a good one today, let's say. You know, it's a good story.
John Clay Wolf
Just hit the highlight of it this week.
DJ Prek
We're playing the blame game with a bag of cocaine.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, we'll be back. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. For those of y' all who don't know who DJ Prek is, you need to go to the John Clay Wolf Show Facebook page, and you'll see. And he was kind of making time with my old lady yesterday.
J.D. Ryan

J.D. Ryan
It's the givemetheven.com Bone Gym Bag.
John Clay Wolf
Right. So we're doing it together and the show is going to have a pre party. Therehere we are. JD so I signed you up.
J.D. Ryan
I'm ready.
John Clay Wolf
And this, this venue is. It's pretty neat. I don't know if you've seen a map of it. So, so imagine a smaller version of Starplex with the yard but like imagine the boardwalk in Kema. Okay, got you with all the restaurants right there.
J.D. Ryan
Perfect.
John Clay Wolf
So, so figure that look. And in the middle of all those restaurants in Kemah is the concert theater.
Roy
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, wow. So that sounds cool.
John Clay Wolf
So like all the bars in the restaurants have seating to see the stage.
J.D. Ryan
To see the stage all the way around. Gotcha.
John Clay Wolf
So we're going to have a pre party at one of those places and Dana and Ronnie are going out there with the guys from iheart to figure it out. I think it's gonna to get the logistics out of a pre party. Like we did the listener party in Houston, we're gonna do it again in Dallas and we're gonna do the 100t shirt giveaway. The same thing we did in Houston. Okay. So we'll have that online.
Mike
Sell your bitch T shirts.
John Clay Wolf
The commemorative thousandth show T shirt.
Bobbo
Are we gonna find some threadbare, barely functional studio to do the show from on Saturday morning of that week?
John Clay Wolf
No, we're going to do it from our own studio. And then Saturday, Sunday is when the show is so we can.
Mike
Oh, it's a Sunday show.
John Clay Wolf
We ought to do a pre party. Pre party. Like a Saturday warm up pre party. Oh, Ooh, I like this. I like drinking in the springtime. So we could like do a pre party on Saturday at lunch after the show like and then have a. Then our real pre party before Joan Jett and Tesla and sticks.
Mike
Right.
John Clay Wolf
And at the music festival Factory.
Bobbo
I think it sticks. Joan Jetty, Tesla, whatever it is.
John Clay Wolf
We anyway, all of our listeners and hardcore guys that, that like to hang out. We're having a party June 10th and we're inviting Sticks, Joan Jet and Tesla and we will give you the details. All the details will be up at John Clay Wolf and Bow and Gym. Bo. It's Bo Jim's deal. They've been, they've only been on the air here, Dallas, Fort Worth for four years ever. It's great that.
Mike
Give me the Vinda Tom Is sponsoring it, letting us do it. That's awesome.
John Clay Wolf
Did the whole thing just all gels together? Because here's what the deal was, Bob. We were. I was talking to some venues, we were gonna do our own. And I was looking at Pearl Jam, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Houston. And obviously that's expensive, but I mean, Pearl Jam's gonna sell out. What's the risk of Pearl Jam?
Bobbo
Sure. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So it's just gonna be a lot of work and we have so much going on right now. I didn't want to. I do want to do that. I've done concert promotions before, so I want to have our own deal. And since, you know, we're on so many cities, we probably could do, you know, four nights. Oklahoma City, Dallas, Houston, Baton Rouge, New Orleans. But this year, this Bow and Jim thing fits perfect. And we don't have to do any work. They do all the work.
Bobbo
Yeah, I like that.
John Clay Wolf
I do too. I really like that. So we could drink on Saturday. Where? If it was our show and we were like having to produce it, then we couldn't drink on Saturday. We'd be working on Saturday.
Bobbo
You know, I tried to get you twice yesterday. Where were you yesterday? What happened?
John Clay Wolf
A friend of mine had a heart attack.
Bobbo
What?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, no.
Bobbo
On 420. How dare he?
J.D. Ryan
Is he alright?
John Clay Wolf
It went on 420, but I was out at his house. He lives far away. Not about an hour away. He's all right.
J.D. Ryan
How are you? Because normally when a friend has a heart attack that brings. That's kind of a wake up call for everybody that's associated with him. If you have a similar lifestyle.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, we do have very similar lifestyle. We're both like, we. We can't walk past fried catfish.
J.D. Ryan
There you go.
John Clay Wolf
Where's that moving out song?
J.D. Ryan
J.D.
Bobbo
Ryan'S guilt check.
J.D. Ryan
It's not guilt check. It's true. Have you ever had a friend close to you have a heart attack and or die?
John Clay Wolf
I sent him in the hospital. Do you have that drop? Did you not get the email I sent you this morning? I sent to Bobbo too.
Bobbo
I actually did last year. I didn't get to see him.
J.D. Ryan
They didn't wake you up?
John Clay Wolf
A little bit.
Bobbo
Text. Text me and said, hey, Mike died.
J.D. Ryan
You know, and it didn't make you go at all.
Bobbo
Every day makes me go.
J.D. Ryan
There we go. Well, we know who our next one will be.
Bobbo
But not health wise.
J.D. Ryan
Not at all. They didn't give you a checkup?
Bobbo
Hey, I'm predetermined, right?
J.D. Ryan
I don't know that I have no Idea if I shoot you right now. I guess it was all predetermined.
Bobbo
There you go.
John Clay Wolf
You have the guy. I mean, he. He was. He just had a damn heart attack. He was out hunting and stopped at the Elk City, Texas.
J.D. Ryan
I know right where it is at the hospital.
John Clay Wolf
Told the hospital I'm having chest pains. Will you please check me? They hooked him up, said, you're fine. It's all in your head. Okay. Really. Drives back to Dallas from Elk City, which is a long haul, and pulls in the driveway, severe chest pains, screaming, call the ambulance. Ambulance comes in, picks him up, takes him to. They live in the country. Takes them to a small hospital. Hospital says you're having a massive heart attack right now in the care flights on the way. And took him to a big hospital and they fixed him. They standed him up. But he had a. He had a piece of plaque come out.
J.D. Ryan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
And it blocked the exit of his artery.
J.D. Ryan
It can happen quick.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it can. But, yeah, you're right. It did just freak out. When you have somebody close to you, I mean, obviously think of yourself. You're like, oh, my God, that could be me. I. You know, life's almost over. Almost dead. So in that vein, we need to drink more. We need to have party. June 10th. Bo and Jim Bash give to the ven.com we're going to meet all of our people. Any of us could die. If anybody dies between now and then, it's all good because we live in life to the fullest.
Bobbo
Yeah. Yeah. You're with us in our hearts.
John Clay Wolf
Wow. For those of y' all that listen to the show that do know the person we're talking about, he is fine. Spent several hours with him last night. Night. And you wouldn't have even known it happened. Jd Why? I mean, I. I expected his hair to be white. Yeah. Like Scarface when it turned.
Bobbo
Or the.
John Clay Wolf

John Clay Wolf
Ah. I mean, I think he already kind of had because his father died.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Of a heart attack. And it's just a piece of plaque that came loose in there.
J.D. Ryan

You said you're frustrated.
Bobbo
I know. Internally, I listen, I don't. I don't.
J.D. Ryan
Sometimes you don't remember. When you call, I know you turn.
John Clay Wolf
To, you know, weirded out.
Bobbo
But that means. That's like saying I felt like I might become a Hindu, you know?
John Clay Wolf
You don't remember that phone call?
Bobbo
No.
J.D. Ryan
Not quite the same as a Hindu.
Bobbo
What did I offer you? Nothing.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, no. It wasn't like you and I. What did you offer me? You were looking for. You were looking for advice, huh? It was like that Mario speed wagon. I can't fight this feeling anymore I.
J.D. Ryan
Come crashing through the door Baby I can't fight this feeling We've got.
John Clay Wolf
We've got a 97 Ford F150 with 300. We've got a 2000 Ford F250 with 300.
Mike
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
We've got a 03 Escalade with 200.
Mike
Huh? Big choice there.
John Clay Wolf
I'm gonna pass on all three. I don't want 300. I mean, what we'll give for 300,000 mile trucks. All you're gonna do is yell at me. Y' all want to hear me get yelled at?
Bobbo
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Good. Makes me feel better.
John Clay Wolf
Please. This one's got a new motor.
Mike
Oh, hey.
John Clay Wolf
Hey. Ricky in Louisiana. Good morning. Hello. Hey, you got a new motor, huh? What'd you spend on that new motor in that 97 Ford?
Caller/Customer
3,000.
John Clay Wolf
There you go.
Mike
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
So why would you spend 3,000 on 97 Ford?
Caller/Customer
Because it's my. It's one of my. It's my first truck.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so you bought. Then why are you calling me to sell it? If it's your first truck, you're gonna keep it. It's like a good dog.
Caller/Customer
Yeah, I know. I'm just curious.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I. It's. It's worth, you know, you got a 97F150 with 300.
Caller/Customer
But it's a new engine. New engine.
John Clay Wolf
Nobody gives rats. No, no, no. People. People that have money, that have good sense. And you, you. You have good sense, but you bought. What's the word when you're buying the past back? Reminisce. Nostalgia. Yes. You paid for nostalgia. But nobody else Is gonna have that feeling that you have at all. So you were buying that, that gal in that truck in high school. That memory is why you spent 3,000. You didn't want it to leave. That truck's worth $500. Yank the motor out and it's worth two, you know, I mean, it's just this old ass truck. Unless it's all badass sports side this and that, but it still has 300 on it.
Bobbo
I'll spend my $13,000 any way I want. And I want an old ass truck.
John Clay Wolf
But a new engine. I would. If you have a K5 Blazer, like a 86, 7, 8, 9, say 86 through 91 K5 Blazer that was in great condition. Yeah, I pay you way too much for it too. Especially if it's white with burgundy guts. Because that was my high school.
J.D. Ryan
See, now you have. But you have emotion.
John Clay Wolf
Absolutely. Yeah, I would pay way, way too much. Actually, I'm looking for one of those. So I was talking to a friend of mine last night about it.
J.D. Ryan
What is it again?
John Clay Wolf
K5 Blazer. K5 like a mid-80s through 91 was the last year of them. The square bodies.
J.D. Ryan
Any color?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, any color. A nice one. I'll pay a lot if you. If anybody out there has a nice one that like has low miles, you know, I'll, I'll impress you with what.
Caller/Customer
I'll pay, but I'll keep my eye out for you.
John Clay Wolf
All right. Well, thank you, sir. 800-800-7 2, 3, 4. I'm glad that Ricky felt so comfortable that he decided to cuss. Yeah, but he didn't mean it.
J.D. Ryan
No, he didn't.
John Clay Wolf
Ricky, you shouldn't realize you were on FCC airwaves and you cannot use profanity. I know that we say a lot of non PC things, but they're not profane. Or at least we hope not.
J.D. Ryan
There's a fine line. I had one of the buyers the other day talking to somebody. I was walking through the office and he goes, oh, you've given your car a name. Yeah. Oh, that's rockset. Your car. Well, I don't believe we'll probably be buying rock set because you fall. He's falling in love with it. He's giving it the car a name. Man. There's an emotional attachment.
John Clay Wolf
800, 800 radio. 800, 800, 7 2, 3, 4. Also a something else I'd buy is a real high. Is a low mileage first generation Dodge diesel, four wheel drive. Like I think that's about the same year models too. I think it's like 86 through 91 something you had. No, but I just always liked them. They're like the ugliest, coolest truck built.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Very, very ugly. But I want a Grandpa one. If I can find one that grandpa owned and died left to somebody that's. Yeah. And they're worth 20,000 in the garage.
Mike
Really?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Wow. Yeah, like a low mobin. 20,000 all day long.
J.D. Ryan
Very cool.
John Clay Wolf
If it's like a time capsule. But that's the redneck. I mean, look at what I'm saying. I want an old Dodge Diesel, four wheel drive or an okay five Blazer. And I'll give extra if it's got a 3030 and a box of shells in the back. And Coyote Call.
Mike
800-807-Coyote Call.
J.D. Ryan
Take the man out.
John Clay Wolf

Caller/Customer
That's what that old man put in it.
John Clay Wolf

Caller/Customer
I would take three grand for it.
John Clay Wolf

But Anyway, go to givemetheven.com, load it up, send a couple pictures, say, talk to John the radio. I'll take three grand and I damned. I probably buy it. Where you. Where you located?

John Clay Wolf
I've heard this song. What is this? This is J. Gauss. Yes, I played this song. Do you remember record day in elementary school?
Bobbo
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
Where you could bring your record. I brought this one.
J.D. Ryan
Did you really?
John Clay Wolf
To third grade. And I played it for the class, and I got sent to the principal's office. Listen, hang.
J.D. Ryan
On.
John Clay Wolf
This is on the centerfold. The centerfold lp. Jay Gosband. Free spread, but it gets. Free spread. Hang on, Here we go. All Saints Episcopal School, third grade.
J.D. Ryan
You thought you could get away with that?
John Clay Wolf
Damn right.
J.D. Ryan
In your mind. That was a good idea.
John Clay Wolf
It was a great idea. Apparently, she thought it was funny.
Bobbo
It was the anthem of the times, J.D.
John Clay Wolf
She thought it was funny.
Bobbo
Really?
J.D. Ryan
That's. That's why you went to the principal?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, definitely.
John Clay Wolf
G. She's had to. She's had to cover her butt.
Bobbo
Got you.
J.D. Ryan
In case you have the stupid.
John Clay Wolf
She called me later. I'm a cell.
J.D. Ryan
On your cell.
Mike
Oh, on your cell.
John Clay Wolf
Back in the 80s.
Mike
Wow, that's amazing. You were really rich back then.
J.D. Ryan
80S, John.
Mike
Big, big old cell phone.
John Clay Wolf
Wait. Third grade was 40? 78. Sorry. Okay.
Mike
Late 70s.
J.D. Ryan
Was your first cell phone, like a big bag phone?
John Clay Wolf
First was my car. In your car? Yep.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Yep. The bag phone.
J.D. Ryan
Remember? You don't remember those at all?
John Clay Wolf
What was cool is a friend of mine worked at My neighbor, worked at a sales company like Hawk. Yeah, this is back in 87. 86.
J.D. Ryan
Right.
John Clay Wolf
And you could debug a cell phone, put in a code. Every phone had a different code to debug it and get it into service mode.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, okay.
John Clay Wolf
And then you could scan 300 channels and listen to everybody's conversation. Really? Swear to God. Oh. In the old days, I used to sit up at our. I lived in the country, and I'd sit up at the dock at our little pond and debug it and just sit there and listen to everybody talking on the tower. And I'd listen to my dad when he'd leave in the morning and I was spying on him, listening to his phone calls.
J.D. Ryan
Yep. Police scanners. You could buy Police scanner, Radio Shack. They would tune into cell phones. Cell phones, absolutely. I listen to some really interesting calls.
John Clay Wolf
8008-0072-3480-0800, radio. So, Bob, did you get that Jesus Christ commercial that I asked you to make?
Bobbo
Yes, I did.
John Clay Wolf
Why can't you send me a produced commercial so I can send it to the station?
Bobbo
I was hoping this would come up.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Do you want me to read the email? Did you cut it yet?
DJ Prek
Sure.
J.D. Ryan
It's a commercial we're gonna run on radio.
John Clay Wolf
We run the. Give me the VIN commercials throughout the week on Christian stations.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, I didn't know that.
John Clay Wolf
And I had a good idea, and I asked Bobbo to produce Some audio.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And send it to me without a bunch of lip service yesterday. This is like the fourth time I've asked him to produce some audio during the week. And he never does it.
Bobbo
Noon.
John Clay Wolf
Just talks about it. Just talks. I've been asking your friends and outs for two months. Two months. Okay. Anyway. Go ahead, Bob. Read the email.
Caller/Customer
Langer.
Bobbo
Dear Bobo.
J.D. Ryan
This is the email from John.
Bobbo
Dear Bob, will you cut a 32nd for klty?
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Bobbo
Parentheses.
J.D. Ryan
The Christian Christian station.
Bobbo
Keep it straight. But this could be funny.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Bobbo
Okay, here's the script.
J.D. Ryan
This is. This was really gonna air.
John Clay Wolf
And it says, why is it not. I guess it's airing right now.
Bobbo
It says do it without any vocal. You know, fix no effects. No effect. Maybe a little effects.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Bobbo
Just little effects.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, you're gonna put some echo in there.
Bobbo
Hi, it's your old pal Jesus Christ here.
John Clay Wolf
Cut the effects. Cut the effects. You don't need it. It does nothing.
Bobbo
Hi, Your old pal Jesus christ here for givemetheven.com. you know, I don't. In course, you know, I don't endorse. You know, I don't endorse just anybody or any soul, for that matter. But I'm here to tell you, these guys@givemetheven.com pay a whole bunch for these cars. They really take the sting out of selling your car. Pay top money and show up at your house with a check just like Moses. I added that. Read their online reviews. If it sounds too good to be true, it's like something dropped down from the heavens. And then play jingle.
Mike
Wait, hold on. So you wanted to really play that on KLTY or whatever station we advertise.
John Clay Wolf
All over the region. Like six different Christian stations in Houston and Oklahoma.
Mike
Damn right.
J.D. Ryan
You really think. Damn right.
Bobbo
Now, I'm not trying to cash in on a pun here, but they will crucify you for this.
J.D. Ryan
Thank you.
John Clay Wolf
But hang on. So there's a Jesus Christ show in Austin. There's a syndicated show that's the Jesus Christ Show. You come on down to Family Chevrolet. Jesus Christ himself will be signing autographs.
J.D. Ryan
They don't say that, though.
John Clay Wolf
They don't say that.
Bobbo
No. But he does say, hi, everybody. This is your Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
J.D. Ryan
No, they don't.
DJ Prek
Yes, he does.
John Clay Wolf
He does.
Bobbo
I've listened on Portland Radio. Yeah.
Mike
Wait, they opened the show saying this is yes.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, we pay these guys, these radio personalities for endorsements.
J.D. Ryan
I understand. Jesus is not your radio guy. Stop it.
John Clay Wolf
But he's free. If you just keep it in good taste.
J.D. Ryan
You honestly Think the Christian station's gonna thumbs up on this?
John Clay Wolf
Seriously, do it straight, Bob.
J.D. Ryan
Oh my God. It doesn't matter, dude.
John Clay Wolf
Do it like you. Like you're not rolling your eyes at me. Do it like Jesus would do it.
J.D. Ryan
That would be impossible. What would Jesus do?
Bobbo
Hi, it's your old pal Jesus Christ here.
J.D. Ryan
You could just stop.
Bobbo
Forgivemetheven.com we're on the air. You know I don't soothe any.
John Clay Wolf
What, is his grandson going to call? Say? Hang on. He can't use my grandpa's likeness on the air.
Mike
Dude. Drivery, let's see if this really works.
John Clay Wolf
Here, I'll turn your mic. Alright. Turn mine off. Don't do the 20 minute dramatic pause. Rush Limbaugh.
Bobbo
Hey, it's your old pal Jesus christ here for givemethevin.com. you know, I don't endorse just anybody or any soul for that matter. But I'm here to tell you, these guys that give me the vin pay a whole bunch for these cars. They really take the sting out of selling your car. Pay top money and they show up at your house with a check. Read their online reviews. If it sounds too good to be true, it's like something dropped down from the heavens. Sell us your car.
John Clay Wolf
Got it on the first take. Mike, wrap that up, shake it down, compress it, send it off to the Christian stations and good luck.
J.D. Ryan
You're out of here. I can't believe you put it on broadcast radio.
Bobbo
I want to know how many phones just lit up that weren't lit up the last 60 seconds.
Caller/Customer
Thank you.
John Clay Wolf
What's a better endorsement than from Jesus Christ? Right?
Bobbo
Right. Now the Buddhists are gonna love it.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so this is your.
Mike
When they ask you, John, you really do really want to play this?
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Mike
This is gonna be your argument, right?
John Clay Wolf
What's with my argument?
Mike
What's a better endorsement from Jesus Christ?
John Clay Wolf
Just tell them this is the right thing to do.
Bobbo
Just tell them this. Just tell him, you know, I prayed about this and God in heaven told me this is what I should do.
J.D. Ryan
Are you just tired of not being on the phone with program directors on Monday? Is that what happened? Because you. You're going to be. You're going to be.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, man, those rock and roll programmers have a lot more argument than those Jesus Christ programmers. We'll be right back. My name is John Clay Wolf and I'm back. Carson RA.
Givemethevin.com Announcer
We'll be right back. More of the John Clay Wolf show presented by givemethevin.com coming up. And now back to the john clay wolf show presented by givemethe vin.com.
John Clay Wolf
Anthony works in the grocery store. I thought about this song this week.
Bobbo
Really?
John Clay Wolf
Because my bud had a heart attack.
Bobbo
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And listen. Turn it up. Very true, very true. Billy Joel noted it. And what year was this, Bob? 79, 77. Everything was seven. The best years, all the music. Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Late 70s.
John Clay Wolf
Working too hard can give you a hard time.
J.D. Ryan
This is news to you, but it's just weird when a friend of yours finally. When it happened. Sure.
John Clay Wolf
And I've been going too hard for a while.
J.D. Ryan
For a while? Like forever.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
You burn it at both ends more than anybody I know.
John Clay Wolf
Really?
Bobbo
Yes, really.
J.D. Ryan
Not even close.
John Clay Wolf
Close.
J.D. Ryan
Not even close.
John Clay Wolf
Charlie, would you say that more than anybody you know? Yeah. I don't know.
Mike
I mean.
John Clay Wolf
So I'm gonna die.
J.D. Ryan
And this is coming from Mike, who.
John Clay Wolf
Worksaholic.
Mike
Because I don't. You don't turn it off. I'll turn it off.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, Mike turns it off when he's.
Mike
Out of here 24 7. It just keeps going.
John Clay Wolf
Trading in a Chevy for a Cadillac. Listen to this part. What's he saying? Listen.
Mike
What?
John Clay Wolf
What's he saying there?
Bobbo
If you can't drive with a broken back, at least you can polish the fenders.
John Clay Wolf
Hold on, wait. Play it again.
J.D. Ryan
I know what the lyrics are. I know what you think they are. And they're not that.
Bobbo
What did you think it was?
John Clay Wolf
I'm not gonna say I can't hear it one more time. Well, I think that's very non politically correct.
J.D. Ryan
That's not what he's saying.
John Clay Wolf
All right. Acdc.
J.D. Ryan
It's like the ACDC line. Season ticket with a one way ride. That's not what it sounds like when he sings that. But this is. Do you want to know what it actually says or do you care?
John Clay Wolf
Sure.
J.D. Ryan
It says and if he can't drive with a broken back.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, back.
J.D. Ryan
So you're gonna slow down, John?
John Clay Wolf
No, but I am going to get in shape.
J.D. Ryan
Is it going to wake you up?
John Clay Wolf
No, but I'm going to get in shape.
J.D. Ryan
How?
John Clay Wolf
I'm going to eat better and I'm going to start working out. I'm going to lose 20 pounds and start. Instead of sitting at the bar, I'm going to go to the weight room.
J.D. Ryan
Are you really going to do this?
John Clay Wolf
I pulled up to the weight room 20 twice this week, but the bar was open. And I sat in the parking lot and I looked at it.
J.D. Ryan
Do you have a membership where I.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's a place I'm a member of all right. I sat there and I just. I got on the phone.
J.D. Ryan
You're not motivated?
John Clay Wolf
No, I'm motivated, but I'm not ready. It's such. Because when you get into it, you got to go, man.
Bobbo
No, that's smart.
John Clay Wolf
You.
Bobbo
You should prepare yourself mentally first.
John Clay Wolf
I'm mentally stretching.
Bobbo
Absolutely. I've been doing that for about 12 years.
John Clay Wolf
I'm mentally stretching. Getting ready to get into workout mode.
Bobbo
One of these days.
John Clay Wolf
It's just such a commitment. And when you hit the first one for real, and I've already started with the lightweights in my room to go ahead and get the little sore put in and doing squats without weight just because when you haven't worked out in five years or you got to be careful, you got to ease into it. Ease into it.
J.D. Ryan
You're right. That didn't mean sitting in the parking lot, though, and looking at the weight room. That's not easing into it. That's not doing it well.
John Clay Wolf
It's like.
Bobbo
Did you guys see the Itani movie? Tanya Hardy movie?
J.D. Ryan
No.
Bobbo
She trains like Rocky. She carries logs and chases chickens. Yeah, it's great. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Carry like Pai May and kill Bill.
Bobbo
Right. Just like Rocky 3.
J.D. Ryan
So what are you gonna eat different? I mean, what do you eat now?
John Clay Wolf
Definitely just do the carb thing. Scratch it.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
I've done that before and that does work.
J.D. Ryan
It does work. Okay.
John Clay Wolf
That's about it. No, I'm gonna stick with a beer.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Bobbo
A lot of carbs and beer.
John Clay Wolf
But if you do the Ultra or Miller Light. Yeah. Then it's very low. Okay. And I'm not drinking to get drunk. I'm just drinking to be drinking.
Bobbo
I thought you had a prescription for some, like, low grade speed. That was taken care of. All I did.
J.D. Ryan
He did phentermine. Phentermine. He did.
Bobbo
No, but you were talking like, this is the deal.
John Clay Wolf
This is.
Bobbo
This is the best I've ever felt in years.
John Clay Wolf
But see, I couldn't sleep.
Mike
Yeah, it was keeping them going too much.
Bobbo
But you sure could color, though. You went through five boxes of crayons in a week.
John Clay Wolf
Low grade speed.
J.D. Ryan
That's when you're on meth, man.
John Clay Wolf
That's really what it is.
J.D. Ryan
That's exactly what it is. Phentermine.
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
J.D. Ryan
It's speed.
John Clay Wolf
Low grade speed.
J.D. Ryan
Adderall Is meth almost identical.
John Clay Wolf
Really?
J.D. Ryan
Yes. There's been several articles recently in the last couple of weeks, scientists have come out. It's like one molecule off of meth.
John Clay Wolf
Get out.
J.D. Ryan
Absolutely true.
John Clay Wolf
Does it have any good old starting fluid in It.
J.D. Ryan
No, it doesn't have that.
Bobbo
Certainly a little.
John Clay Wolf
Little crushed up. What's that stuff? The. What do they steal out of the pharmacies?
Bobbo
Anhydrous.
John Clay Wolf
No, that's. That's off the farmers.
Bobbo
They steal pseudo epidrine.
John Clay Wolf
Welcome to Charlie Nabling no. 3. This truck sounds rougher than a night in jail. Just looking at the Abilene Texas Country Roads, Oil Field Roads. 187000 miles on it. Oh, it's two wheel drive. Drive, that's even tougher. Is it nice?
Caller/Customer
It's nice.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. But it's too about a 7, 7, 8.
Caller/Customer
7 or 8's got some minor hell damage.
John Clay Wolf
Did you collect on it? Of course.
Caller/Customer
Being in West Tech? No, no.
John Clay Wolf
Why not?
Caller/Customer
Not enough to mess with.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so it really is minor. The two wheel drive. It's a long bed, two wheel drive. It's 6,000. Maybe five. Five to six. Five to six. Five to 6. I didn't look at pictures.
Caller/Customer
Yeah. All right.
John Clay Wolf
Then the four wheel drive bring 4,000 more. Maybe 7,000 more. It's crazy. The difference between the four wheel. The market demand on four wheel versus two wheel. Unbelievable. But just go to givemetheven.com and load it up if you want to. Dan and Hurston 063 quarter 80,000 mile. Another two wheel drive. It's a mega cab SLT Dodge Cummins. How are you doing Dan?
Caller/Customer
Correct. I'm doing good. How are you doing man?
John Clay Wolf
Good, good. No meat. You'll drop 30 pounds. I need to talk to this guy. It's 2 ultra. On a scale of 1 to 10, how nice is it?
Caller/Customer
I say it's 9. There's nowhere in the driver's seat. There's. The interior is perfect. It's been garage kept 80,000 miles.
John Clay Wolf
06 and then it was a 59 and an 07 mid year they switched to 67 I think. So you've got a 59 if it's a nice one. Does it. But it's two wheel drive. Is it 10, 11, 12,000?
Caller/Customer
Pretty close. I mean it's got ranch hand bumpers on it. It's clean. It's a dark metallic gray.
John Clay Wolf
Do you drive it much or is it just sit?
Caller/Customer
I drive it to keep the seals warm.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. You know you have a title?
Caller/Customer
No, I don't.
John Clay Wolf
How much payoff?
Caller/Customer
About 11 grand.
John Clay Wolf
So we're close. You might have a little Equity. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up. I'll try to buy it if you want to sell it.
Caller/Customer
So you're thinking maybe 12 or 13.
John Clay Wolf
Yep, I am okay.
Caller/Customer
All right, man. I appreciate it.
John Clay Wolf
Johnny in the Woodlands. So, Johnny, the Uncle Julio's fajitas that I've had three times this week is not in the diet that you suggest.
Caller/Customer
Well, we're talking diets. I had one specific one in mind. But I can tell you another way you can lose that weight, still eat those fajitas. You just got to give up the tortillas that come with it and the chips and salsa.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Caller/Customer
But no, I was telling Pre K that I've got it. I went on a 30 day diet with no meat. I ate egg, but other than no chicken, no beef, no pork. 30 days. I guarantee you'll lose £20 easily. I lost probably £25 in under a month just by cutting meat out.
John Clay Wolf
Where did you start? What weight did you start at?
Caller/Customer
I started at 220 and I'm sitting at about £187 right now.
Mike
Well, you also cut out like chips and all the other crap too, so.
Caller/Customer
Yeah, you got it. You got to kind of keep it clean. Like, I'll say this, I didn't give up the vodka.
John Clay Wolf
Good for you, Claire.
Caller/Customer
A couple times a week you got to keep something to keep saying, you know, I can't give it all up.
J.D. Ryan
But would this be called?
Caller/Customer
The amount of bad carbs and processed foods is really the. The crux of it all, though. And the quality meat we buy, unless you're buying, you know, cut meat from the deli, it's all.
John Clay Wolf
Anyway, you can't say, yeah, it's not. Pardon? I had to dump you, dumbass. Johnny's a hell of a dietitian, but he's a hell of a dumbass when it comes to vocabulary selection on FCC Airways. Anyway, that's good. That's good advice. I appreciate it, sir. Appreciate it. All right. Yeah. So now that I've said it on the air, then I've got to do it.
J.D. Ryan
You got to do it now because people are going to be looking at you going, hey, it's only when you.
Mike
Post it on Facebook, JD that's the moment.
John Clay Wolf
But I did post on Facebook about two months ago and I didn't do anything. You did.
Mike
Oh, well, you failed then.
Bobbo
What did the guy eat if he got out all that meat? I mean, what do you. What do you eat?
Mike
Veggies.
J.D. Ryan
It's a plant based diet. Yeah, which is you can eat all kinds of green.
Bobbo
Screw that.
John Clay Wolf
It's called being a healthy vegetarian. It's just as simple.
J.D. Ryan
Well, not if he's doing Fish.
Mike
Yeah, Fish and cheeses.
J.D. Ryan
It's a modification. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Fish be fine. He'll all be fine. 800. 800-723-48. 800 pre K. Good morning. You there? What up, what up, what up? It's time for our favorite game show.
DJ Prek
Oh, yeah, you know it. All right, well, today we got a big surprise. Our story is from somebody in Florida. We got a.
John Clay Wolf
The name of this game shows Black, White, Latino or other.
DJ Prek
I'm slipping on the intro, but okay, I'm gonna read the crime story. Y' all tell me if it's white, black, Latino or other. Man. Yeah, we got somebody From Florida, a 26 year old lady who got caught swinging and swerving. So cops pulled up on her and say they smell weed. You know how it goes. So they searched through a car, find a big bag of weed and a little bag of cocaine in her purse. And when they asked her about it, she fessed up and said, yeah, that's my weed, but I don't know anything about any coke. And when asked where it came from, she blamed it on the wind. She said, it must have flown through the window and into my purse. Y' all know cops aren't that dumb. So they took her in for felony possession of cocaine and misdemeanor possession of marijuana. So what y' all think? White, black, Latino or other?
Mike
Man, that's a hell of excuse there.
John Clay Wolf
I'm gonna say Latino because Florida and just reaching for crazy stuff, saying crazy things. Latino women get really angry and. And hot headed. So that's. I'm gonna stick with that. That. That's a loose guess, by the way. I don't have a lot of confidence in my selection.
Mike
I'm gonna go. I think this is a party girl party. White frat party type.
J.D. Ryan
A frat girl.
Mike
Oh, yeah. A little coke, a little weed.
Bobbo
Yeah, yeah. She doesn't have the good sense to leave her cocaine at home.
Mike
No.
Bobbo
Yeah, that's. That's a white girl.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bobbo
No street smarts at all.
J.D. Ryan
All right, I'm gonna go with this. She's very creative and came up with this on the fly. I'm gonna say she's a black lady.
John Clay Wolf
JD Black, Bobo White, Turley white.
J.D. Ryan
Thinking of an idea that outside the. It would really baffle the cops. They might go, hey, yeah, that makes.
Bobbo
Sense because we all know actually the cops planted the cocaine, right?
John Clay Wolf
What's the answer, DJ?
DJ Prek
Well, y' all should have bet on black like J.D. you know, it's a Kinesia Posey, a.
John Clay Wolf
Black woman, Tanisha Posey. Tanisha.
Mike
Very creative.
John Clay Wolf
Very creative on the.
J.D. Ryan
On the fly. She just thought, hey, wait a minute. What won't they expect?
John Clay Wolf
She likes her drugs.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, she does. She flew in out of the window. I like that.
Bobbo
It's a great name. She's named after a statue in New York. Central Park.
J.D. Ryan
Really?
Bobbo
Tanisha.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Stop.
Bobbo
Yeah, right next to the Steely Dan statue.
J.D. Ryan
I didn't know that.
John Clay Wolf
8008-0072-3480-0800 radio Scott in Met, Louisiana. An old Buick Le Saber with 92. I'm. Is it average rough or clean? Rough. Yeah, it's nothing. I don't want it at zero. One little saber with a hundred on it. If it's rough, it's just there's no market for it. For me. It's not worth hauling it around and cleaning it up. It'll cost more than it's worth for me. Throw it on Craigslist.
Caller/Customer
Fun to drop off a building.
Mike
It would.
John Clay Wolf
You know, it's a throw down. Yeah, it's the same thing, you know, on a weekend that you want to tear a car up with some buddies. That's what that car's for. My name is John Clay Wolf and we'll be back. Uno momento, por favor. Since you're gone since you're gone I took the big vacation since you're gone.
Givemethevin.com Announcer
And now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com.
John Clay Wolf
This is. This was their best album. Did he blow his head off?
Mike
No, he.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, deed.
Mike
Hung himself. Accidentally.
J.D. Ryan
Accidentally.
John Clay Wolf
Was he doing the sex thing?
Mike
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Yes, he was. Auto.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, whatever. Automatic versus standard.
J.D. Ryan
That was it.
John Clay Wolf
A lot of people do that. It's weird.
Mike
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, it is very odd.
John Clay Wolf
You know, you just kind of makes you wonder what, what a lot of.
J.D. Ryan
Things that people are interested in.
John Clay Wolf
8008-0072-3480-0800 radio man. The auction this week, you know, we buy all these cars from the public and then we auction them off. We win on some, we lose on some.
J.D. Ryan
Gamble every week.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
How many did you do this week?
John Clay Wolf
Almost 300. We almost sold 300 one set one day. Yeah, we just ride. Barely missed it. You know what's weird though, is when we go too far. Like anything over 250 in one lane, one setting is diminishing returns.
J.D. Ryan
Why?
John Clay Wolf
Just because you just run out of steam. Everybody's just gets their belly full. It's like if you're at the barbecue place, you just keep feeding your ribs and keep feeding your ribs. You're like, man, I'm Full or like.
J.D. Ryan
A concert, you got to go high. You got to come back down low and do a ballad. You gotta have the. The fat guy from. From KISS come out, sing his end of our.
John Clay Wolf
At the end of our auction run is our junk, you know?
J.D. Ryan
Oh, that's the end. Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
So like, you don't sprinkle that out.
John Clay Wolf
No. Back in 2000, you. You don't want to mix the good ones and the bad ones.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Because then the opinion is, well, the good one could be a bad one too.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, I get it.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
J.D. Ryan
I just didn't know if you wanted to, you know, hey, good, you know, keep them guessing.
John Clay Wolf
But you. You quarter it up into sexual luxury cars. Highline cars, good diesel trucks. Highline diesel. I mean, high mileage diesel trucks. You put them in groups.
J.D. Ryan
Okay, makes sense.
John Clay Wolf
But at the. At the very end. Hey, Prek. At the auction on Wednesday, I heard that. Remember the last car? The Cadillac srx.
DJ Prek
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, man.
John Clay Wolf
What. Tell me your version of that story and why.
DJ Prek
Man, I heard it gone for so cheap, man. I wanted to lift my arm up, see if I could get a bid in.
John Clay Wolf
Why didn't you?
DJ Prek
I was thinking about it, man.
John Clay Wolf
But don't think, do it. Commit. No, I drug it out forever. We're like two grand. Two grand. Two grand. Nobody will hit it. It's over. I mean, there was just nobody left. And then a thousand, thousand, thousand. And I was like, listen, I'm not gonna miss the last car of the day. I refused to. Started at a hundred and it brought 400. And nobody else bid. What? And I sold it, did I not, dj?
DJ Prek
Oh, yeah, it sold, man. I thought about hitting that 500, but I couldn't do it.
J.D. Ryan
Dude, what year was it?
Mike
And you know, it was like a. Yeah, yeah, those are great cars.
J.D. Ryan
I love myself.
John Clay Wolf
No, it was the body saw before yours. It was the wagon looking body.
J.D. Ryan
I got you.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, still, it had138,000 miles. It was stupid cheap. Yeah. Was it a piece of junk or something?
Mike
No, it's like a 1500 two grand car somewhere in there, right?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. 400. Yeah. Now who. Who at the. Give me the VIN deal. What? Manager had it bigs.
Mike
And so while we're watching this. Yeah, he's just cussing.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, really? Don't sell it because he had 2500 in it for 2500.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, he. Is there a correlation between those?
John Clay Wolf
Managers get paid on the high and the low. They get paid on the win or the loss. Oh, oh, oh.
J.D. Ryan
So he's so he's.
John Clay Wolf
He's invested in this deal with me.
Mike
And I was. I mean, I was with him. I was yelling. It's like, oh, please, John, don't do it. Don't do it. 100 bucks. It's like, ah, surely it's gonna go up. They stayed at 100 for a long time.
John Clay Wolf
A long time.
Mike
Oh, no, he's actually gonna do this. Got to that 400 mark, slammed the hose down, and he did it.
John Clay Wolf
Say, that's lane 11 of the Dallas auto auction. Every Wednesday Morning starts at 9, 10. If you want to steal cars, there are cars to be stolen. Yeah.
Mike
Stick around long enough, you may get a free beer.
John Clay Wolf
We blew. We blew two G's on that car. But you know what? They'll talk about it and they'll come back.
J.D. Ryan
Well, they will.
John Clay Wolf
So what did Big say?
Mike
He's just yelling.
John Clay Wolf
He was upset.
Mike
Yeah. Once it was done, he's like, it's done. There's nothing I can do about it. He was just hoping that it wasn't real. When you're watching it.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Mike
We're like, there's no way he's not gonna do this.
John Clay Wolf
No, he's.
Mike
No way John would do this.
John Clay Wolf
Well, that's why we have 200 buyers on simulcast sitting there, you know, most of the sale and everybody else has, you know, 30 is because we do stupid stuff like that. But sometimes our cars bring stupid money, too.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So the upside works out. You just have to ride the balance and ride the wave. But, you know, you have to have a gravel gut to do it because it hurts. It makes you throw up in your mouth. It really does.
J.D. Ryan
See that. Would you have sold it to Pre K for that, though?
John Clay Wolf
Like outside?
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
No way.
J.D. Ryan
No way. Right, right, right, right.
John Clay Wolf
You got to be there. You got to be ready. You got to be on your toes.
J.D. Ryan
But the cool car of the day, I mean, you talk about that, that's low end, but there's some really cool high end stuff, too. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Mike
That red whatever truck I was.
John Clay Wolf
It was really cool. F150. F150. It looked like a Raptor, but it wasn't. It was just decked to the nines. And it did great. You know, it ran away the other direction. It made some money, so you just never know. But no, that was stupid selling that car that cheap. Just stupid. But I mean, what are we gonna do with it? Eat it? And what that tells you is the tax season money is off.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, it's done.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. And the junk is turned back into Junk. And on the conference call this morning, Troy, that's what they're talking about. Junk is now junk again. It's not gold anymore. The S is now chicken. S. Gotcha. Is not shinola. For two months during the year. It is shinola because the tax season.
J.D. Ryan
Money comes in that car.
John Clay Wolf
A month ago would have brought twenty five hundred dollars, maybe three, three, five hundred.
J.D. Ryan
That big of a difference.
John Clay Wolf
Big of a difference. And that's why when you see people calling with real high mileage cars, I'm like, ah, yeah, whatever. There's no market working on when the tax money expires. It just expires. Uncle Norman.
Roy
What?
John Clay Wolf
Hello, Good morning. Now, Uncle Norman, you were standing there when we sold that 400 car, and I actually looked at Norma. I said, norman, do you want to buy it? Did I not?
Caller/Customer
Yes, yes, you did, sir.
John Clay Wolf
What's wrong with that car? Was something really. Was something really bad wrong with that I wasn't seeing because a lot of time that's the case.
Caller/Customer
No, no, no, no. Actually, who. The one who had it has a good deal. He got a good car for next to nothing.
John Clay Wolf
Anyway, when I was leaving that day, I had four people come up to me and ask me if that was real, can they please buy it. I was like, yeah, it was real, and just go buy it from the guy. What will happen is like they could walk up to the guy that bought it from me and give him two or three hundred dollars or five hundred dollars for his ticket, buy his auction ticket. It's like trading options. It's just old school up. So Norman calls in. Norman's our chief mechanic and, and you know, he manages the fleet. He's the crew chief. And he calls in with car tips like life hacks for. For non. For commoners.
J.D. Ryan
Little things that you can do, little.
John Clay Wolf
Things that you can do to save you some money.
J.D. Ryan
Right?
John Clay Wolf
What have you got today, Norm?
Caller/Customer
Well, today we're going to talk about a little bit about air conditioning.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, good. Perfect time of year.
Caller/Customer
Really perfect time of year. We have problems all the time. And air conditioning now in these days is not a luxury. It's actually a necessity to have, right? So now. So when you take the car to get to go to the car wash, you can do just as you simple thing that you can improve the efficiency of your AC conditioning system. When you wash your car, take a time to spray between those big grills. You guys who like pick up drugs and you never ask yourself why I got such a big grill here? It is because the air conditioner Use those passage of air to cool down. If you spray it, wash your car. You take your time to take the pressure washer and cleaning the condenser, that's what is called in the front where the radiator is located. You will. You will make the efficiency of the air condition at least 5 to 10 degrees.
Bobbo
Get out of town.
John Clay Wolf
Really? Really. No. Can you screw it up if you put too much direct water pressure on it?
Caller/Customer
Well, yeah, if you put too much. You have to do this with some kind of finesse. You don't want to bend the condenser things on it. But if you clean it, it will increase efficiency. Of course, it is like you guys in Texas like to go out to the woods and the dust and all that, and they watch the truck, but they never wash the, the. The air conditioner.
John Clay Wolf
The car. You.
Caller/Customer
You will not get efficiency out of the system.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, tell me about. So you're from Penns, you're from Port Rico, and you live most of your life in the states up in the northeast, in Pennsylvania. And then now you're Texan and you're enjoying it and they took you turkey hunting last week. How did it go?
Caller/Customer
Oh, it was fantastic. I like it. I like the idea. You know, I get up, you go and roughen it. You get up in the morning to take a leak, you have to go outside. But when you look to the sky, man, there is so many stars up there. And I don't know, for me it was. It was beautiful. I at least have the time to be with myself and look up.
John Clay Wolf
It is. I mean, there's this old song that you probably never heard because you were in Puerto Rico. But the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas. And when you're out, where were you? Do you remember the town you were in? Oh, yeah.
Caller/Customer
A little town is called Spurl S P U R. Yep. Texas.
John Clay Wolf
How. How far was the drive from Dallas?
Caller/Customer
Four hours.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so you were in West Texas in the middle of nowhere at night time. Was the sky clear that night?
Caller/Customer
Oh, my God.
John Clay Wolf
It's ridiculous.
Caller/Customer
It was so beautiful.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's like being on the ocean.
Caller/Customer
The shadow, the Milky Way. That's incredible. Incredible.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I'm glad you experienced that. See, you being Latin and your roots, you know, those Latins and their knives. Did you skin and clean a lot of stuff for everybody? Did you enjoy that part?
Caller/Customer
Yeah, I like that part. I can butcher anything one time and another.
John Clay Wolf
Well, there you go. Tips from Uncle Norman. Clean your air conditioning compressor condenser. Thank you, Norm. Talk to you soon. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio DJ Pre K. What up? I heard something funny. Does he have a vin? Do you have a VIN handy?
Mike
You got one?
John Clay Wolf
Pulled one up real quick. You need to pull a VIN number up because I heard that you were reading a VIN number off to someone like the phonetic Alphabet.
J.D. Ryan
Like Alphabet. Charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot, that.
DJ Prek
I mean I don't know the code man. They don't teach you that in, in college, you know.
Mike
So. All right, so how would you do if it's let's say C and then M and then you go, yeah, you.
J.D. Ryan
Know, 17 digit number mixed with numbers and letters. So when it sounds up to a C, a C could sound like a D or a B.
John Clay Wolf
When we read them off to each other over a radio or over a telephone, it's like Charlie, Alpha, Bravo, 4226.
J.D. Ryan
Right.
John Clay Wolf
Kilo, India, 77377.
DJ Prek
Right, yeah, see I don't know that code. So you know, I was just thinking of words off my head, you know, I might say B as in Ballin or no, K as in killer or P as in purple drink, you know. But I had one that had a C and an M. So I said okay, C as in cow, then M, you know, I still had was thinking about cows. So I said M as in moo.
Bobbo
There you go.
DJ Prek
And look, I got my point across.
John Clay Wolf
Man.
DJ Prek
The office just wouldn't leave me alone for it, man. Sending me pictures of cows now telling me moo puns, you know, and I'm frankly, I'm not in the mood for it anymore.
Mike
Nicole, one of her new buyers, she had a sound of a cow mooing. I mean it was non stock.
J.D. Ryan
That'll be utterly ridiculous. Amazon.
Roy
Moo.
J.D. Ryan
I love it. Well, you know what, he got the message across.
John Clay Wolf
800-800-7234. I'll tell you which cars are bringing a lot of money. Is the real nice one sports cars, anything. V8 sports cars or badass M series, the S63 or E63, any the turbocharged Mercedes paint a lot for those cars, like overbook. So if you have those fancy cars, always we buy the Lamborghinis, the Ferraris, the 100 grand stuff. And there's a hundred grand auction coming up in June and I'm going to gather up a bunch of hundred. What they do is they have one auction a year. It's called the Hundred Grander.
J.D. Ryan
Okay?
John Clay Wolf
And the only cars that can be in that run are 100 grand or above. Wow. So we're going to gather up a bunch of 100 grand granders to have there. So if you have hundred Granders or it's 80,000 or above.
J.D. Ryan
Gotcha.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Go to givemetheven.com we buy them. And the guy with this 3,000mile Range Rover.
J.D. Ryan
No, not yet. His name is Robert.
John Clay Wolf
We're at 73, 000. He's at 74.
J.D. Ryan
Is that right? Yes. Correct. We're at 73. 5.
John Clay Wolf
So we're 500 away from his number.
J.D. Ryan
Correct.
John Clay Wolf
He needs so. But you gotta understand we've come up from 70. 71 to 2 to 3 to 73 5.
J.D. Ryan
He needs to come up a long way. We actually started at 68 and we've come up to seven.
John Clay Wolf
I'm sorry, we weren't at 68. We were at 71.
J.D. Ryan
71. I'm sorry, I'm looking at this wrong number. Look at his phone number. Okay, my bad. But the 71, we're up to 73. 5.
Mike
That's why JD doesn't buy the car.
J.D. Ryan
That's why I don't buy the cars. That's why I do the VIN numbers. Charlie Moo.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but we need, we need to. You need to explain to this guy that he's getting all the money and we're going to go to his house to pick it up with a check and it's done.
J.D. Ryan
Right?
John Clay Wolf
I mean we can only give so much at this point. I'm offering what I really believe will be what we might get for it. That losing a 500 on this car out of the gate is expected. Losing a thousand.
J.D. Ryan
Why would you do it then?
John Clay Wolf
Because we just buy the damn cars. Control the commodity. Get them all bought, own them, put them in the right order and funny things happen. Sometimes it works. Sometimes you get lucky. We get lucky. And I like having those low mile cars. I just, just, I just want to have, I want to be the place for them.
J.D. Ryan
This is very low miles.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. 3,000 miles on 17R. All right, we'll be back in a minute.
Givemethevin.com Announcer
Givemethe vin.com presents the John Clay Wolf Show. We'll be right back after this. Now back to the John Clay Wolf show.

John Clay Wolf
That's full blown retail on that one. I think it's black. Were you offered that on trade in?
Caller/Customer
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
See the problem? It's not a problem, but the reality is that they set it in right where I did. 50, 15, 5, 16 grand. And then they show you that as an over allowance because they have this factory money and rebate money to show you that. So have you already bought the new one?
Caller/Customer
No, not yet.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, let me take a look at it. Let me take a look at the pictures. Go. Go to give metheven.com loaded up. Let's take a look. 17 will buy it. Is that correct?

Caller/Customer
All right. But it is in condition.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I believe I'll probably buy it just because, I mean you hear what we do. We just gamble on cars all the time. And I think that that's totally the bring money. But I'll probably buy it anyway if it's that nice.

J.D. Ryan
All the way through the weekend.

John Clay Wolf
And I was up there a lot. I'm trying to follow and there's just a lot of Jewish people.
J.D. Ryan
Oh.
John Clay Wolf
So I mean my stepdad called it he's Italian. Or he was before he died. I guess he still would be. But he lived. He said he lives on the Gaza Strip where his neighborhood is. Okay. And. And it's just, it's very. When I think of Connecticut, that's what I think of. And that's why I call totally Jewish.
J.D. Ryan
Okay. But he's not.
John Clay Wolf

We have a story actually that Randy gave me to read. So it's kind of an interesting thing here. Says a woman in Indianapolis brought her pet raccoon to a fire station because it had gotten into someone's marijuana and she thought possibly the raccoon was overdosing. Radio chatter among the firefighters is actually pretty good. They thought at first the raccoon was on meth and they thought maybe it was on heroin. Eventually one guy gives up and goes home. It's kind of fun.
Mike
Here's the audio, actually.
Caller/Customer
Apparently they have a pet raccoon that got into their method through speedway. Doesn't have anything, but fire did call.
John Clay Wolf
Across the hall and say that it.
Caller/Customer
Was a raccoon that overdosed on somebody's heroin. I'm sitting at one of the buet firehouses. No pet raccoons are overdosing here. Well, if they show up, you narcaning way too weird. I'm leaving Tim bored.
Mike
So other firehouses say no overdosed raccoons here. So who has a pet raccoon anyway?
John Clay Wolf
And yeah.
J.D. Ryan
That it got into their meth or marijuana or whatever they got.
Scooter

Mike
Oh, here.

J.D. Ryan
Well, well, cuz coons are a little.
Scooter
On the dopey side anyway.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, they're, well, you would know, like just rather hyper. They. They're hyper, really?

Scooter

John Clay Wolf
05? What's an 055? Well, I mean, sounds like these older trucks with high miles. It all depends on the. I need to see the photos. So let's just use 15 grand as our baseline. And we'll add or subtract after I see the photos.

John Clay Wolf
I said 35 to 37.
Caller/Customer
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
What's it take to buy it?
Caller/Customer
Well, I wanted to get 40, right.
John Clay Wolf
It's the new body style. You know that the 17s came out out and everybody went to that new body style. So obviously it depreciated this one. Let me look, let me look something up real quick. Let me stand by. F350. Dual. Is it dually, right?
Caller/Customer
No, no.
John Clay Wolf
Dually. No. Then, then I'm, I'm on the high end of it.
Roy
Too damn high.
John Clay Wolf
Hang on just a second. Let me look. Is it long? Better short. Most of the F350 single wheels are longs.
Caller/Customer
Now these are, this is short. He ordered it from.
John Clay Wolf
Is it a 250 or a 350?
Caller/Customer
It's a 350.
John Clay Wolf
No question about it.
Caller/Customer
No question about it.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Cuz I very have ever rarely seen a short bed. 350 single wheel.
Caller/Customer
Right. That's why he custom ordered it.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Go to givemetheven.com I'm 37 on the radio. I'm going to try to get closer to your 40 after I see pictures and look at some comps. Okay. All right. Give me the vindo. You just plug in your license plate or you can plug in your vin number and take a couple of photos of it and back off and give me the side shot, you know, like where I can see bumper to bumper on the side. Okay.
Caller/Customer
And then I will.
John Clay Wolf
And then open the door and take a picture from there where I can see the dash and the sunroof and all the gear. Those two pictures, I can make a decision immediately.
Caller/Customer
Okay, I'll do it.
John Clay Wolf
Thanks. Kath 8008007234 it's not just diesel trucks. It's half ton trucks and corvettes and Rolls Royce and everything in between. Maseratis, Aston Martins, Jaguars. I mean, we, we pay a lot of money for expensive cars. That's really our sweet spot. We do the regular cars because that's what everybody drives. But people would think that all this online service, there's no way they're gonna pay the right money for this one. Well, understand that all the dealers in these met in Houston and Dallas and Oklahoma City. They call us when you're trading these cars in because they know we're the specialists on the luxury highline cars. So you can see you too. If you don't want to trade it in, if you just want to sell it straight to. We are the right. I mean, we pay more than the Lexus store for the Lexus. We pay more than the Mercedes store than the Mercedes. If we don't beat carmax, we send you a check for $100. I don't know how I just do that to shut everybody up. If I don't beat carmax, then I'm just gonna mail you a check for 100 bucks.
J.D. Ryan

Well, what was good is they got a lot of old employees. They had his old valet, his old security guard, his old accountants. And maybe they're angry ones, but. And they weren't slamming. They're just. He's like. He's like, man. I mean, I remember when we were down to $3 million in the bank of the whole casino operation, he called me and said, how much cash we got today? Like, 3 million is all we've got. He's like, send half of it here. I need it right now. I mean, they were flying low to the ground before they filed bankruptcy.
J.D. Ryan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
It really. You just kind of forget the whole presidential thing. It's about Trump. I mean, I'm only in episode three, but it is good and the. The wildest. And this is weird for me because my mom lived in Aspen and I went up there all the time.
Bobbo
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
And I remember I rode a ski lift with Yvonne, and I remember seeing her around at Little Nell and all this stuff. And there was a scene where. So he. He's in Aspen with his family.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And he also flew his girlfriend in, and they're all staying at the Little Nell and.
J.D. Ryan
Is that a hotel?
Bobbo
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And the girlfriend skis up next to Ivana.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Yelling at her. I love him. I love him. You don't love him. Let him go.
J.D. Ryan
Supposedly really happen. Happened.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, this was plenty of witnesses.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, this was a public scene. Okay. Down at the base of the mountain.
J.D. Ryan
I know where it is.
John Clay Wolf
When you stop. Yep, plenty. Too many people.
J.D. Ryan
The Kennedys literally have a little compound right there at the bottom of the hill. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I didn't know.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, yeah. Right at the bottom of the hill.
John Clay Wolf
I didn't know that. Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
I'm sorry.
John Clay Wolf
But it was Marla Maples. And then just all the drama on that whole deal. I mean, it was. He was a womanizer. No doubt about it. Well, yeah. And that Make America Great again. They showed. They never mention it, but they show it. Bill Clinton, Make America Great Again. I never. I wasn't paying the close competition. I really didn't think that that tagline is what they really ran on. Sure. Yeah. But he was a. He was. He's the same guy today. He was then.
J.D. Ryan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
He was a jerk then.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Nobody doubts that hardcore business guy.
J.D. Ryan
That's why it's working.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. What else? Yeah. I highly suggest if you're a fan, if you're a lover or a hater of Trump. This is a good one. I really liked it. I mean, when I get done here today, I'm gonna go watch the rest of it.
J.D. Ryan
Where is it again?
John Clay Wolf
Netflix.
J.D. Ryan
Netflix.
John Clay Wolf
Trump something. Trump something. It's one of the suggested up top new. New offerings, whatever.
Bobbo
Did you just say that's why it's working?
John Clay Wolf
Yes, I'm saying the economy's working like a champion boss.
Bobbo
That's been okay?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
You know, Been okay? Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Breaking all kinds.
Bobbo
No, I have to agree.
John Clay Wolf
And look at oil prices running to, you know, they're in the 70s, I believe, right now, which is a good profitable price for oil companies.
Bobbo
You bet.
John Clay Wolf
And it's a digestible price for Americans. And he's freaking out, trying to stop them, like, saying, no more. Here's the truth, the supply, the this. I mean, he's really intersecting, like, don't let it get out of control because that's what throws us into a funk.
Bobbo
Did I sound like I was waxing negative?
J.D. Ryan
A little bit, yeah.
Bobbo
No, no.
J.D. Ryan
When you ask somebody, did you really say that?
Bobbo
I'm kind of thinking about the institutions.
John Clay Wolf
The guy's a jerk. The guy's an egomaniac. The guy's a narcissist. The guy's got all these personality disorders, but he is a hardcore businessman, and that's the platform. He ran on, he said, don't like me. I don't care, but I'm gonna fix this economy from a business point of view. And he has done that. Right? Right. Are there dead soldiers in his wrath? Yes.
Bobbo
There's a bit of a scorched earth. There's a bit of a scorched earth policy, though, concerning our institutions. You know, I believe in the Justice Department, I believe in the nsa. I believe in the presidency, but you have to comport yourself a certain way if you're going to hold that high. I agree.
John Clay Wolf
You know, we can't control him. But to get that much good in that section of what we're working on, maybe it has to be that bad for a little while.
Bobbo
And I can't complain. I'm getting, like, 11 extra bucks of payday.
John Clay Wolf
There's a lot of kings in the past, in history that have acted this way. They didn't tweet.
J.D. Ryan
They didn't tweet at all, but they were jerks. Yeah, absolutely. There's no doubt.
John Clay Wolf
And then. Then obviously the other side's gonna scream. Yeah. And they killed people and they. Everybody revolted, all this stuff. But I, you know, will he get reelected? We'll see. But is he. Is he getting the economy healthy? Damn right.
Mike
I thought it was pretty good before, too. I didn't realize it was bad.
Bobbo
Well, it was bad in about 2008.
Mike
Okay. Yeah.
Bobbo
And it got steadily better for, you know, nobody questions.
J.D. Ryan
It's gotten better in the last year.
Bobbo
No, you can't.
J.D. Ryan
You cannot.
John Clay Wolf
It's. It's. I mean, Michael, it was pretty damn good, though, before, too.
Mike
I mean. Anyway, it can't get much, you know.
John Clay Wolf
It gets a little better. I got a lot better.
J.D. Ryan
It's got a lot better.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
We're breaking records. Hey, East Texas Police Department is helping people have a safe 420 day. Did you hear about this? Every year, to celebrate the unofficial National Marijuana Day, the Marshall Police Department is offering to test your marijuana for free to see if it's real. All you have to do is personally deliver your stash. This is a true story. Every year. And believe it or not, they have one or two people do this every year. They deliver your stash to the PD and the can, of course, officer will check it out. If it's real, you get to stay overnight, check it out, see if it's real. Hey, Michael, the stories are all the time about people call up the cops and say, hey, man, this guy stole my dope. And the cops show up and go, really? So who do you think we're gonna arrest.
Mike
Just can't believe people are that dumb.
J.D. Ryan
Speaking of dumb, maybe it's.
John Clay Wolf
I don't know.
J.D. Ryan
I'm beginning to think it's something in the water. In Pennsylvania last week we heard about one of the school districts that had armed its teachers with a bucket of river rocks in the classrooms. This week there's more. In the Mill Creek school district, they've equipped 500 of its teachers with miniature little baseball bats.
John Clay Wolf
Like the little six flags bats.
J.D. Ryan
16 inch bats.
John Clay Wolf
Hurt like hell when they pop people with them.
Mike
Those ones they gave away at the Rangers game.
Bobbo
They used to do it on mat day.
John Clay Wolf
They are.
J.D. Ryan
They were distributed to all the staff following an orientation on how to use them during an emergency. The district has four elementary schools, three middle schools, one high school.
John Clay Wolf
Somebody's gonna get hurt with those.
J.D. Ryan
Absolutely.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, I mean, kids can whiff it across the classroom, hit a kid right in the head, knock it out a river.
J.D. Ryan
I'll play baseball with a river.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but those aren't as fun to throw as those little bats. Those little bats. I've smacked people in the head, they've smacked me in the head with them. They hurt like hell. They'll put an egg on your head.
J.D. Ryan
So fast next week, we have no idea where. Pennsylvania maybe. They're going to be giving all the teachers Harry Potter magic spell books and a bag of fairy dust. Who knows what's next? What else? Let's see. Starbucks is going to close its 8,000 company owned stores in the United States for one afternoon to educate all the employees about racial bias. Of course, after the two black gentlemen got arrested, basically they were just hanging out. They didn't buy anything. The manager called the cops and had them escorted out. The CEO of Starbucks said, I've spent the last few days in Philadelphia with my leadership team listening to, to the community and learning what we did wrong and taking steps to fix it. So very soon now, all folks, any race, color, creed, can get overcharged coffee by a snooty barista.
Bobbo
Now there's a little, there's been a little addition to that story though, just really, just as of yesterday. Yeah. Those two guys were there for an interview and the guy who was gonna interview him had not shown up yet. They were gonna have a business meeting there.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Bobbo
They were 10 minutes early, but it wasn't a.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Bobbo
And the cops got called after they were there for two minutes.
Mike
So just a little overreaction.
J.D. Ryan
Two minutes?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Really?
Bobbo
Yeah. That's. I mean, that's the news story about it.
John Clay Wolf
What? But my question is, is Starbucks really worried about their stereotyping policy? Are they worried about their.
J.D. Ryan
They're worried about the PR thing.
Mike
So they're close, getting ahead of the story.
Bobbo
I'm amazed anybody called anybody. I've never seen Starbucks have trouble with anybody loitering ever.
John Clay Wolf
It's a Starbucks down the street, man. The, the, the. The beggars are in the line.
J.D. Ryan
That's all they do.
John Clay Wolf
No, I mean when you're in the Starbucks line here, there's beggars in the line knocking on your windows.
J.D. Ryan
I didn't know that.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, Randy and his scooter.
Mike
I'm swearing those are chipmunks.
John Clay Wolf
Really, it's the same thing. I mean there's people, there's chipmunks. It's. It's a war path to get to the coffee window. Hey, Kim and Katie. Good morning. You're on the air. Katie Texas, Good morning.
Roy
Hey.
John Clay Wolf
Hey. 14 dodge 3 quarter ton diesel with a buck 10 mega cab, leather nav and a lift. How much lift is it? Four or six inches?
Mike
It's actually.
Caller/Customer
It's going to be fine.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. So is it. So the tires are 35s. Is that what size they are?
Caller/Customer
35.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. How many miles ago, how many miles are on the tires?
Caller/Customer
They're brand new.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. That's all I need to know. So we don't need to buy tires. Does it have aftermarket wheels?
Caller/Customer
Yes, it does.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. So you spent 110,000 miles on a 14. Is it 30 grand? Is that right? Does that sound right?
Caller/Customer
I had another offer already for it.
Bobbo
How much?
Caller/Customer
They offered me 36.
John Clay Wolf
Trade or straight by?
Caller/Customer
I own the truck to come by.
John Clay Wolf
Is that your neighbor or is that a dealer?
Caller/Customer
Dealer.
John Clay Wolf
Send me pictures. Let me look. If 36 grand. And you passed. They offered you 36 and you said no on 110000 mile Dodge.
Caller/Customer
But I also still got the paperwork where they made the offer to me. I can come with it, right?
John Clay Wolf
Please do. I. I wanna. I don't miss cars that bad. So. So it. There's something about this truck that I need to see pictures and I need to see a picture of the offer letter. Go to givemetheven.com. load it up. If it's a straight by legit offer from one of the brands and I don't want to talk about them anyway. Get it to me. If I don't beat it, I'll send you 100 bucks. Thank you. Huh? 880. And don't send the fake offer letters. Guys, we. We really Are good at what we do. And we've got ways to know. And it's really embarrassing when you have a fake offer letter.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
You know, like a CarMax letter. And they change. You know, they put 23,000 supposed to. To be 15.
Caller/Customer
Right.
John Clay Wolf
And they send it in like, where's my hundred bucks? Where's my 100 bucks?
Bobbo
Like, dude.
John Clay Wolf
Well, you know, how do you tell somebody that you know they're lying?
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And that you. That there's some watermark. There's some tags, marks on the playing cards that we know as professionals that we can tell Mike, what do we do? Oh, how do we tell them?
Mike
I have ways.
DJ Prek
We've.
Mike
I've had people cower before.
John Clay Wolf
I know how we catch them, but how do we tell them they're caught? You don't want to tell them.
Mike
I don't tell them.
J.D. Ryan
You can't just say, hey, hey, that's fraud.
Mike
But there's ways of making them realize that they're okay. Yeah, we know that you knew.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Mike
By calling the store and talking to the people that are supposedly on this letter.
John Clay Wolf
People don't understand that we're in the middle of the network of everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody.
Mike
And when we start saying, well, so and so said that your car never came down.
John Clay Wolf
We're the largest. We're the largest wholesale distributor in the south. So all these guys buy cars from us. I mean, we buy cars from them. So we know everybody. We can call him the VINs, lock them up, look it up, and see where they're at. So. So when you find out that somebody's lying to you and they're pressing you, you just tell them, hey, I called, and they had a different version.
Mike
Yeah, they. Their offer was a lot different than when you're showing. Oh, it must be a mistake. You know what? Don't worry about it. I'll figure it out.
Bobbo
And they just go away and gone immediately.
John Clay Wolf
Scatter. Yep. That's fun. I mean, you know, printers are easy. Photoshop's easy. You can make fake offers all day long, and it's really okay. I mean, but understand that there. There are some tags that we can see. Look at it like. Like electronic cookies. There you go. Exactly. And you can't BS A BS or.
Bobbo
Somebody snorting a line over there doing the.
J.D. Ryan
These sick. Leave him alone now.
Bobbo
But when you're caught, you're caught, right? I mean, sometimes you have no guns to stick to. It's too bad.
John Clay Wolf
But. But do you ever have anybody hang in there and. And just hang with the lie no. Ride the lie to the ground.
Mike
No, they'll ride it to a certain point, but there's always at the end when we present it to them and say, hey, you know, when we talk to so and so.
John Clay Wolf
Hey. I called Bob at XYZ Chevrolet. He bought four cars from us last week and we bought 10 from him. He pulled the VIN number up and sent us a screenshot of your deal.
J.D. Ryan
Now, again.
Bobbo
There are some discrepancies on the paperwork. Yes, I used to do that.
John Clay Wolf
Alibaba Motors don't count.
J.D. Ryan
No, it does not count.
Bobbo
Such an immature thing. I used to do that to my mom all the time. She'd bust me doing whatever I was doing. I was like, nuh, no, not I, I couldn't.
John Clay Wolf
Mom.
J.D. Ryan
We break in or we have time for one more story.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, we got four minutes.
J.D. Ryan
Southwest Airlines has now sent an apology letter. I guess everyone knows the big story this week.
John Clay Wolf
I've got comments on this. Go ahead.
J.D. Ryan
They sent everybody a five thousand dollar check and a thousand dollar travel voucher. All the passengers that were on the aircraft that obviously weren't injured. Those who were on the flight, of course. The flight made an emergency landing in Philadelphia after one of the engines, the left engine, exploded on the aircraft this week. An engine, the Southwest jet exploded Tuesday as it was flying from New York on the way to Dallas. Made the landing in Philadelphia. Passenger Marty Martinez of Dallas says he has no immediate plans to cash the check. He's wanting to talk to a lawyer. Lawyers were easy to find as they were swimming around in a school around the aircraft as it landed.
Bobbo
That's a terrible deal with their dorsal.
John Clay Wolf
Fins showing up right above the tariff. So I think it's been nine years since a commercial flight, like a legit commercial flight, death has occurred, period. And at all.
Bobbo
At all.
John Clay Wolf
Not, not 20 million. In America.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
In this country they had one lady pass away in this terrible deal.
J.D. Ryan
Yep.
John Clay Wolf
That is awesome. I mean, I, I, that is in the news. Needs to shut up. The news needs to shut their 40.
J.D. Ryan
Million flights a year. And last year, of course, no one's died.
John Clay Wolf
Nine years of that.
J.D. Ryan
A bathtub doesn't have that, that kind of record.
John Clay Wolf
No. I felt so much safer about commercial flight after watching all this news. Lies.
Mike
What are they lying about, though?
John Clay Wolf
Just blowing it up. Like, oh my God, they're so sloppy. And Southwest and they screwed up and I don't know if they would have done this.
Mike
You're talking about talking heads. I'm talking about if they would have.
John Clay Wolf
Done that and if they would have done that and they should be grounded and blah blah, blah.
Mike
That's not news.
John Clay Wolf
There's so many.
Bobbo
Where did you see that?
John Clay Wolf
All over the news.
Mike
That's not news. News like reporting news like your nightly news. They're not doing that. They're just reporting because they don't give.
John Clay Wolf
They don't give opinions.
J.D. Ryan
But the 24 hour news cycles, they have to stretch it out so they're having to get all the, the tragic and all the terrible stories and all the, oh my God, I'll be travel be messed up for the rest of my life.
Mike
People, I think people confused. That's not news.
J.D. Ryan
That's not news. That's the news cycle. You're right.
John Clay Wolf
So a jet engine, in redneck terms, it dropped a valve and the lifter got hung up in the cylinder and busted the piston. Happens at the racetrack and on the freeway 5,000 times. Today it happened in a jet airplane and it exploded and a piece of shrapnel went through the window and the depressurization, rapid depressurization, sucked the leg lady out. Now that had to be a hell of a scene.
Mike
She was halfway out and they're trying to pull her in.
J.D. Ryan
They pulled her back.
Mike
That's crazy.
John Clay Wolf
But she had her seatbelts on, didn't she?
J.D. Ryan
Well, she did have the reporting. She did everything.
John Clay Wolf
She didn't look like she had big hips. So she. I'm surprised she didn't fly out. I mean, she's a big old gal. Then, you know, it might have hung up.
J.D. Ryan
They're very small.
Mike
Their windows are pretty small.
J.D. Ryan
And people, people were right there. Passengers immediately.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but no, I mean that is a ridiculous best record. And to be scared of flight is. My reaction was opposite.
J.D. Ryan
Me too.
John Clay Wolf
It's really safer than driving.
J.D. Ryan
We've said it a million times. Your odds of getting killed driving to the airport are a zillion times.
Bobbo
Well, over in the Far east though, they crash, fall out of the air all the time. Sometimes they don't even find the plane.
J.D. Ryan
They don't fall out of the air all the time. They should considering some of these airlines that over the Middle East.
Bobbo
You know what I'm talking about, Those missing planes.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, they just disappeared once again. One in a, in 300.
Bobbo
No, but not in this country.
J.D. Ryan
But over there, the Malaysia flight, that was one. They don't fall out of the sky every day, Babo. They really don't. They don't vanish every day.
Bobbo
Not every day, but much more often than they do here.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
Bobbo
One Myanmar. The Myanmar flight.
J.D. Ryan
Just Disappeared, man.
Bobbo
Just gone.
J.D. Ryan
I guess it was aliens.
Bobbo
What happened there?
John Clay Wolf
We're gonna break.
J.D. Ryan
We'll be back.
John Clay Wolf
Hang on. I want to bid this real quick. Lloyd in houston. You there?
Caller/Customer
Yeah, I'm here.
John Clay Wolf
MKX Lincoln, right?
Caller/Customer
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf

It'll throw a number at you. Within it'll throw it real time. 45 seconds. 800. 800 radios. Give me theven.com. be right back.
Givemethevin.com Announcer
We'll be right back. More of the John clay wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com coming up. And now back to the John clay wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com.
John Clay Wolf
We played this last week. This is a good song.
J.D. Ryan
Great tune.
John Clay Wolf
Jerry Jeff. Is he still alive?
J.D. Ryan
Yes, still touring.
John Clay Wolf
Have you ever seen him?
J.D. Ryan
Yes, many, many times.
John Clay Wolf
Worth going to see.
J.D. Ryan
Absolutely not just because he's who he is. Classic. I saw him in San Antonio one time at the riverwalk. Literally walking up. I look down the way, and he's walking up with a guitar. Guitar by himself. Nobody. No entourage, no band or nothing. Just walking down the thing by himself, getting ready, set up. I'm like, that looks just like Jerry. Holy mackerel.
John Clay Wolf
It is old school.
J.D. Ryan
Very old school, man. He opened the guitar and sang in San Antonio. San Antonio on the riverwalk.
John Clay Wolf
Let's catch the chorus. We got to sing.
J.D. Ryan
Down the.
John Clay Wolf
Lucas and Odessa. Good morning. You got to like Jerry Jeff, right?
Caller/Customer
I got a what?
John Clay Wolf
You got to love Jerry Jeff Walker, right?
Caller/Customer
Oh, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
All right. I want to make sure I wasn't offending anyone.
J.D. Ryan
He'll be at green hall, by the way, May 12th in New Braunfels.
John Clay Wolf
Cool.
J.D. Ryan
In Texas.
John Clay Wolf
That's in new Bronzevilles.
J.D. Ryan
New Braunfels. Of course it is.
John Clay Wolf
All right, 95 Viper with 14,000 miles. Is it a GTS?
Caller/Customer
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, what color?
Caller/Customer
It's red. It's got. We got a striped put on it, but they didn't come with it. You know what I mean? We got them painted on.
John Clay Wolf
I thought the gtss all came with it.
Caller/Customer
No, this one was. This one actually came silver. And then the people who had a. Bought it for the dealership painted it red, and we had to put stripes on it to match all the other ones.
John Clay Wolf
Actually. I'm sorry. I'm screwed up. If it's a 95, they didn't make a GTS in 95. So no, it's not it you. It's either RTT. Yeah, I understand. But a GT has just a different deal. I'm not beating on the car. I just want to make sure we're talking about the right one. Is it a convertible or the hard top?
Caller/Customer
The hard top.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so it's not an RT10, and it's got great miles. And it's silver. What color is the car?
Caller/Customer
It's red now. It was original silver, but it's red now.
J.D. Ryan
Oopsie.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I accidentally cussed. That disappointed me when you told me that. I, I, I, I swore Turley had to hit the delay. So y' all repainted it?
Caller/Customer
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Just, just for the record. That's bad.
Mike
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Going forward, if you got a 25 year old car, 20 year old car that's got great miles and it's a hot rod, don't repaint it. Leave it how it was because it'll bring a lot more money. So that's what we call a total repaint color change, and it knocks a lot off the value.
Caller/Customer
Okay. All right. It also doesn't have the original rims on it. We had put some different ones on it. It got curb scrapes on one of the front wheels, and we just. My dad put some different ones on it.
John Clay Wolf
When did y' all buy this car?
Caller/Customer
I believe he bought it in 19, in February of 96 or 90.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. So he's had it all the years. When did he change the color?
Caller/Customer
Probably the year following, I think.
John Clay Wolf
All right, I'll be damn. First of all, I want you to load it into givemetheven.com. you can just use the license plate or the VIN number and get me some pictures. And I'm gonna have to ask you. A lot of this paint thing is screwing me up. You know, off the top of my head, I'm thinking 20 G's.
Caller/Customer
Oh, okay. Because of the paint?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm discounting it for that, but, I mean, this is not a crazy desirable car. It's good, but it's not. Oh, my God. Like, if it's a GTS, it'd be like 40 G's if it's a unit.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
So. But it's a good car. But, I mean, I've had them. I had one with 13 the other day that I sold for 20. 22. 13,000 miles. Yours is 14, and it wasn't a repaint. I'm busting it back. Two GS for the repaint, assuming that it's good. So Odessa, Texas. All right. Go to givemetheven.com and let's look at it.
Caller/Customer
All right, you got it.
John Clay Wolf
Thanks, man. 8008-0072-3480-0800. When you have to restore a car. Yeah. That's one thing.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And if you want the, you know, big money for. You're better to restore in the original factory build color. The factory build color.
J.D. Ryan
So is it the fact that he changed the color?
John Clay Wolf
Is that why what they do is people assume the war.
J.D. Ryan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
So if they took the time to repaint the whole thing, first of all, they'll never do as good a job as a factory did.
Bobbo
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And they'll be like, you'll find if it was, it was silver, now it's red.
J.D. Ryan
Right.
John Clay Wolf
You're going to find silver in the edges and the. Pull the rubber back and under, in the, in the, under the hood you'll find. In the corners you'll find silver. You'll find the old color. That's not good. It makes it look cheap and crappy.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And then they assume the worst, that it's been in a big wreck and got rebuilt and like the title got washed and they never, you know, it got, it was totaled and it got fixed. And just purity is all. Brings more money. Stock brings more money. We had a.
J.D. Ryan
Even if it's bad paint, I mean, you know, if the paint is like, you know, re entry burn.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Because then on a car like that, I'd rather have the reentry burn.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Because we can take pictures of it and then paint the top panels and show what it was. It wasn't run over by an Amtrak train or by Cincinnati Freight. Yeah, I follow. You know, weird stuff like Turley. Like we had a, I don't know, zero, nine or ten Tahoe that kind of sold short at the auction. Had 80 on it last week. And I was talking to my good note buyers, tri color and another one, I was like, why didn't y' all buy this car? Because this is y'. All. He's like, because it had 22s on it.
J.D. Ryan
Why is that bad?
John Clay Wolf
Because it changes the tire pressure monitor sensors. It changes the speed limit. See, these big companies, they, they like to stay within guidelines too. And they, they, they don't want that. That car with big nasty wheels on it would be. If it had180,000 miles, that's fine. It's 5,000, $3,000,000 car. But when you get into good miles and good cars that bring a lot of money. If you jack with them, you make sure you do it well. Make sure you do it with good taste. And make sure you don't let your cousin, you know.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Get his welder out. Just don't do it. I mean, if it's an old turd, it doesn't matter, but if you got something special, just don't do it. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. I have never seen ZZ Top in concert, Bob. Have you? No, we'll probably need to do that. Are they all live still?
J.D. Ryan
Yep. Yeah, they are.
Bobbo
But there's only three of them.
John Clay Wolf
There's only three of them.
Bobbo
Odds on, you know, are they San.
John Clay Wolf
Antonio or Austin or Houston? They're Houston. Houston. Dusty Hills from Houston.
Bobbo
I always thought they were an Austin band, but I don't know. They're just that little band from Texas.
John Clay Wolf
Are you sure? What, one of them hadn't passed away?
J.D. Ryan
Dude, none of them passed away.
John Clay Wolf
Have you seen them?
J.D. Ryan
I haven't, actually. Billy Bob's years ago. Great show. Just exactly what you would expect. They are at the Venetian in Vegas. Let me see. If they're gonna be in Texas, they're gonna be in Oklahoma. Tulsa, Oklahoma, May 17th. Anywhere in Texas. Oh, Austin, Texas, June 9th. Oklahoma City, June 10th.

John Clay Wolf

Bobbo
Yeah, that'll edge Pre K out of your ticket territory right there.
John Clay Wolf
It's. It's not, you know, pre.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah. He was hitting on the wife. What?
John Clay Wolf
He hit on the wife, man. We got a picture of it on. On John.

Bobbo
This is the one they call the single Maker. When all the. All the poor guys that are down to their last 30 bucks, all singles break down and go and start giving that money away. Second, slow it down a little. More blue light than green, you know? Full yellow. Full yellow, of course. Yeah. Well, you just, you know, the shape, man, the sound, you know.

J.D. Ryan
That's sad.
Bobbo
He spent $17 one drink on two beers. Two beers. Two Long Neck beers. Okay. Hasn't bought anybody a drink. Dancers keep coming to his table, sitting with him about five minutes, because as soon as they sit down, he puckers up.

John Clay Wolf
Hey, Turley, can we start this one over and let Bobbo do the intro like the old days, back when we're a strip club. He's not here. It's you.
Bobbo
I don't do it like strip climbing.
John Clay Wolf
No, you do it your way.
Mike
Ready?
John Clay Wolf
One, two, three.
Bobbo
Here we go. All right, guys, Bringing her back again on the bar stage. This is Energizer, and they all had names like that. They didn't have even.
John Clay Wolf
You don't have more sticks in that?
Bobbo
No, I didn't do that. I was doing this just like. Can you hear me?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bobbo
This is how I bring him on.
Mike
He wasn't the stick one strip club dj.
John Clay Wolf
He didn't reach deep and do this last step. You didn't. You didn't have lines when it called for. I think it calls for it. I mean, it's 12:30. The second song's on. This is it.
Bobbo
You.
John Clay Wolf
You're working for the girls. You need to give more. You need to put more heart into it.
Bobbo
Dude, I was gone.
John Clay Wolf
You need to put more heart into this deal. We need to do this all over again.
Bobbo
I was gone.
J.D. Ryan
How long did you do this strip club deal?
John Clay Wolf
In three. Hang on, Turley. We're going to do this right. In 3, 2, 1.
J.D. Ryan
All right, guys. Welcome to the Devil's Den.
Roy
Next up, we have Satriana. Two dances, $2, and your dreams all come true.
J.D. Ryan
I get 20 bucks out for that.
John Clay Wolf
Did you ever see. See the gal, the dancer? That was a traveling dancer. I saw this in Wichita Falls.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, the feature.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, with the violin puppet.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, I didn't see that.
Mike
Oh, that's a different one.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Has anybody seen what I'm talking about? Violent puppy. I gotta figure out how to. How to clear this. Good. I'm gonna have to talk a little tongue in cheek because it's. It's. It's getting a little later in the day.
Bobbo
It's not 8am One part of her body held the puppet and the other part made the violin bow.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, that. The puppet was between. In her groin area.
J.D. Ryan
I got you. Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And he had a bow. And she would move his arm like a.
J.D. Ryan
Got it.
John Clay Wolf
Like a. What are you, a puppet? Puppeteer. From behind. And. And she'd play Devil Kingdom, Georgia. And then. Then the puppet would move and then the bow would play another violin. Violin. It's very odd.
J.D. Ryan
Very odd.
John Clay Wolf
A natural violin, if you will. Right?
DJ Prek
Yeah.
Bobbo
See, in Texas, I think you need a different kind of license for that show.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, you do. You do.
John Clay Wolf
That brings us all back to the bestiality legislations of South Louisiana last week.
J.D. Ryan
Yca.
John Clay Wolf
Holy hell. Jared Houston, good morning. Hey. Hey, you there?
Caller/Customer
All right. Doing all right. Hey, I got a 2015 Ford F150 King Ranch Crew Cab. And it's. It's a monochrome package. It's 601A option package. It has every single option that this truck could have, including the 36 gallon gas tank that you could possibly get.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, Is it a. A cylinder?
Caller/Customer
That's a EcoBoost.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so does every option except two extra cylinders. I'm sorry, I'm being sarcastic. But it does have two extra turbos that the 5 liter does not have. So you can look at it. You can spin it to be a positive. It is a King Ranch 6. Bang. It does have a sunroof. Right.
Caller/Customer
Let me tell you, I did lie to you. The only thing that this truck doesn't have, if you were to go down the option list and start ticking boxes, the only one this doesn't have is the large heavy duty, the super duty towing mirrors. And so it, every other option it has that massaging seats. It has FX4 off road package.
John Clay Wolf
It's a King Ranch with an FX4 package.
Caller/Customer
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And you said it's monochrome paint. So it's not two tone. But what color is it?
Caller/Customer
It's, it's, it's the white metallic Tricote. White metallic.
John Clay Wolf
No tan on the bottom. No, but it is King ranch.
Caller/Customer
Yes. The FX4 has not been a trim level since the 2015. The FX4 became a, a package instead of a trim level.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Caller/Customer
So in 2014 and previous that was all, you know.
John Clay Wolf
So we do have air conditioned seats. We do have a sunroof, air conditioned.
Caller/Customer
Front seats, heated front and rear sunroof all the way back.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. It's, I, it's stupid, I have to say that. But some people get going on all this little stuff and they leave out the big impact options, right? Oh yeah. No, it didn't have a sunroof. Okay. But it's at 78,000 miles. So we, we're gonna keep her under 80 because we know when we go over 80 we're gonna throw it into a different category of buyers. 70. It still has, still has another hit in it. At 80. You're gonna take a big chop. Forget the book. It's gonna take a four thousand dollar chop when you go to 80.
Roy
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And it's got 78 and it's got all the gear and then some. And it is the only thing I.
Caller/Customer
Would be taking this, I would be taking a check from selling this and go taking it and getting a 2018 of the EXC. Exact same truck. This has been an amazing truck for me. I, I, I won't, I won't take anything else for it except a brand new version of this.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well I'll get $30,000. You want to sell it?
Caller/Customer
All right. Thinking about it, I, I, I don't know if I want to do it now.
John Clay Wolf
Hang on, hang on. Turley, will you call my old lady and get her on the phone? Cuz I want to see if she wants. If he's going to think about it, we need to think about it, right? Sure.
J.D. Ryan
Think about It.
John Clay Wolf
What are you going to think about?
Caller/Customer
Yeah, I mean, wait till truck month, I guess. Best price I can get on in 20, 18.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well, that was the truck month's March, but they do it twice a year now, don't they? Do this, do this. Go shop your brains out. That's what you're gonna do. You're proud of your truck. And I agree with you. You got a great one. The miles are high. Keep it under 80. Get it done before. Don't take it to 79. 8. Go ahead and do it now if it's got 78 on it. Go shop your brains out, get your best deal, then go to givemetheven.com, load it up, and we'll see if we can make it a little bit better. But we're, you know. Or if you want us to match you with a Ford dealer, just go. Go. You're hitting me first, right? So I've given you a number, and now you've got to validate that number, and you're going to go try to beat that number and work all your. And there's a trade in here, so I'm not selling you a new truck. Go do all your stuff and then come back around at the end before you do your deal and see if I make your deal better. And that. That's. That's your best bet, instead of us arguing over what our wives think.
Caller/Customer
Yeah, that's fair.
John Clay Wolf
All right, ma'. Am. Thanks. Does sound like a good one, though.
Mike
Yeah, sound pretty.
Bobbo
No towing mirrors.
John Clay Wolf
I gave him some good advice on that mileage deal.
Bobbo
No, I mean, that's just too bad.
J.D. Ryan
Keep it. Here we go.
Mike
Stop it.
J.D. Ryan
I heard Jim Brewer this week on Comedy Central doing that.
John Clay Wolf
Was he doing good boy?
J.D. Ryan
Yes, he was doing good, boys.
John Clay Wolf
Was he doing as good as Baba does?
J.D. Ryan
I don't think he was doing as good as papa.
Bobbo
Yeah, he did.
John Clay Wolf
Come on.
J.D. Ryan
I don't think so.
Bobbo
That's awesome. Why was he doing it?
John Clay Wolf
Under what context?
J.D. Ryan
Just actually, it was a replete.
Bobbo
It's one of his bits.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, it's Jim Brewer. The one from Saturday night. You did it better than Jim Brewer.
Bobbo
What?
John Clay Wolf
Actually, goat boy, how was your week? We only have a minute and a half left.

J.D. Ryan
Bad times.
Bobbo

J.D. Ryan
Oh, no.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but you just got out of the can.
Bobbo
Not the good speed.
J.D. Ryan
There's good speed.
Bobbo
Homemade ether. Nazi amphetamines.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, God.
Bobbo
I know. Oh, God, help.
John Clay Wolf
What about your probo. Officer? You're going to pee hot.
Bobbo
I was gonna. I was gonna call him a name.
J.D. Ryan
But I don't want John talks the lingo, man.
John Clay Wolf
You were gonna pee hot if you're doing nice.
Bobbo
I fail my test, they're gonna send me back to jail.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, man.
Bobbo
Not that I'll be doing time.
John Clay Wolf
What? Doing time. Oh. Do you get. Did you get raped when you were in jail? Did you get. Did you get assaulted?
J.D. Ryan
Easy.
Bobbo
You asking me if I got it on?
John Clay Wolf
Well, I mean, you are goat, and you know how people are.
Bobbo
No. God.
Scooter
What?
Bobbo
I don't know why I sit around and take this crap from you guys. Jeez. Hey, you got any speed?
Roy
No.
Bobbo
No.
John Clay Wolf
We don't do drugs here. We don't want to go to jail. We want to have a better life, have good health, not be in trouble, be good role models. Go, boy. Will you take us out? Until next week.

Description: Powered by GiveMeTheVIN.com, The John Clay Wolfe Show covers everything from cars and sports to sex, drugs, and rock & roll, all with the raw, irreverent humor the crew is known for. This episode delivers signature banter, wild stories, and plenty of audience calls about buying and selling cars.
This episode brings listeners another fast-paced, freewheeling Saturday with John Clay Wolfe and his crew. As always, the guys deliver a mix of off-the-cuff comedy and the business of car buying, but they also touch on everything from strip club DJing to health scares, office bathroom bets, unforgettable dating advice, and why you shouldn't repaint your vintage Viper. Whether you're here for the automotive expertise or the gut-busting stories, it's classic JCW Show material.
The show maintains its irreverent, rough-around-the-edges Texas wit—fast talk, inside jokes, and self-deprecating humor. The car expertise is always laced with real tales of loss, luck, and living fast, the give-and-take among the gang is strong, and listeners are as likely to learn something new as they are to spit out their coffee laughing.
"Just remember, nothing's as important as staying out of trouble, being healthy, and being a good role model." – John Clay Wolfe [150:37]
A perfect episode for anyone who loves cars, classic radio comedy, and listening in on the relentless, real-life ribbing of a sharp Texas crew.
