Summary

The John Clay Wolfe Show – Episode #148 (05/12/18)

Air Date: February 13, 2026
Podcast Description: The John Clay Wolfe Show powered by GiveMeTheVIN.com – a raucous, freewheeling, irreverent talkfest about cars, life, rock & roll, and, as always, pushing the limits of what the FCC will allow. This episode features the regular cast: John Clay Wolfe (host), JD Ryan, Bobbo, DJ Pre K, Uncle Norman, and plenty of listeners calling in with cars (and stories) for sale.

Episode Overview

This episode is a wild ride through car bidding, rock concert reviews, candid team drama, and open talk about addiction. The hosts and callers keep the pace funny, unpredictable, and honest. Cars are bought over the phone at breakneck speed, band members get roasted, old family stories are dredged up, and listeners become the “jury” about what to do with an employee who goes on a multi-day bender.

Main Themes:

• The chaotic camaraderie of the GiveMeTheVIN team
• The intersection of workplace issues and personal struggles (addiction, family, accountability)
• Candid commentary about rock & roll, car culture, and American life

  • “How do you get so drunk you forget to call? … That’s drunk beyond an area I can comprehend.” – John Clay Wolfe [50:09]
• Panel (team) and listeners weigh in with votes: Should Robert keep his job? Many listeners share their stories of addiction, recovery, relapses, and tough love.
  • “You spanked the monkey once. You will spank it again.” – Uncle Norman [68:33]
  • “He has this one thing, and he’s getting over it.” – Robert’s wife, Stephanie, urging for empathy [81:54]

• Randy the Chipmunk brings surreal animal “updates” and wit about nuts, nonprofit scams, and general life wisdom.
• Regular “White, Black, Latino or Other?” segment, guessing the ethnicity of a repeat bank robber in Cleveland. Team bounces between stereotypes for comic effect.
  • Answer? Black. [148:57]
• Discussion on TV and pop culture; whether “Good Times” could air now, retro TV favorites, and the democratization (and overproduction) of content.

---

10. Final Notes and Listener Interplay

  • “We’ve got cleared on seven stations out there...” – John [153:40]
• Throughout, listeners are more than a peanut gallery – they’re the show’s interactive moral compass, participating in real team decisions.

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Skynyrd:
  “The passion, the sex appeal, the soul. He doesn’t have that cockiness. Ronnie Van Zant used to take that stage with this attitude… he’s just like, I’ll kick all y’alls asses and screw all y’alls women right now.” – John Clay Wolfe [30:53]

Right. So I'm coming down full time very soon, very soon. And I just suggested to Pre K. I found a great spot in town in a part of town I really want to be in. That's affordable. And. And for two, it's really affordable.

[JD]

Really affordable. Two bedrooms.

[Bobbo]

Are you gonna share? Two bedrooms? Oh, wow. And I finally got him to go look earlier this week, and he called me on Wednesday afternoon and said, bob O, man went and looked the place. Dude, that place is awesome. It's cool. Let's do it.

[DJ Pre K]

That's not how he said it. Because you know DJ Prek, of course. He's our phone screener. He talks a little bit ethnic.

Gonna bring you the deposit today. Texted Pre K. Hey, I'm bringing the deposit down today. Have you got your application in? Yeah, text me back a long text like one of those. Page and a half text.

[Caller/Listener]

[Bobbo]

[DJ Pre K]

Isn't amazing that 3k changed his mind on you?

[Bobbo]

Changed his mind?

[JD]

He just got here.

[Bobbo]

He's in the other room. To the tune of an extra 250amonth for me, which is fine. Man's a grown ass man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Black guy.

[JD]

Yeah, well, so you're not gonna be roomies now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh man.

[Bobbo]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, where's my headphone box? Who knows?

[Bobbo]

I'm coming to drop the deposit today. Got your app in question mark. That's me. Pre K says no. I'm having second thoughts. I've been looking at it financially with the cost of moving out. I've been planning on moving later this year but I really want to save more. Dollar sign.

[John Clay Wolf]

You want to stay with moms?

[JD]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Pre K. Pre K is still breastfeeding now on me.

[Bobbo]

Here's the classy move on my part, John. And I knew you would appreciate that. You know what my. You know what my reply was to all that I said? I said, and I quote, oh heck.

[JD]

Lay down.

[Bobbo]

Don't cuss out the dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gosh dang it. I stepped on JD's dog.

[JD]

Dog. Cuz he can't get out of the way cuz he thinks you might have food. All right, that's the last time. That's the last time he's up here. That's it.

[John Clay Wolf]

No more. You screwed up the dog. Just. He's going to move in with Pre K and Babo.

[Bobbo]

You know what's really scary brilliant is you made that look just like an accident.

[JD]

Yeah, I know. He's been planning that for months to kick my dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

Anyway, so Pre K, where were we?

[Bobbo]

Just Pre K changed his mind, which is fine. I wasn't trying to talk him into anything. I'm just thinking because you know me, Terry. I mean I've lived.

[DJ Pre K]

No, wait, wait. I know you and it's not fine. Because all I've heard You do all morning long is bitch. And about pre K not moving in with you because I ain't gonna have money now to do this. I'm not gonna have money now to do that.

[JD]

Oh, is that what I was saying when I walked in here?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[JD]

It's gonna cost me money.

[DJ Pre K]

Yes.

[Robert]

Yes.

[Bobbo]

Over 250 to the tune of 250amonth. You know how much that cuts into the whiskey budget?

[JD]

I see. I thought you quit that.

[Bobbo]

I did.

[JD]

Yeah, you did. Sure you did.

[Bobbo]

Well, if.

[JD]

Why do you have a whiskey budget?

[Bobbo]

Red wine only.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

Because it's a joke, man.

[JD]

Oh, I see.

[John Clay Wolf]

Come on. I haven't drank beer in a couple days.

[JD]

That's a couple of days.

[John Clay Wolf]

Whiskey budget. Yeah. Like 10 days.

[JD]

10 days?

[Bobbo]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why are you making me irritable? Why? Irritable bowel syndrome.

[JD]

That's called a dry drunk, Johnny.

[John Clay Wolf]

A dry drunk?

[JD]

Yeah, it's an irritation. It's very bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does doxodan or preparation age help it?

[Uncle Norman]

Yeah.

[JD]

Load up on prescriptions. That's what helps.

[John Clay Wolf]

Slida. Yeah, just. It's just I'm irritable.

[JD]

Yep.

[Bobbo]

Side effects include dry drunk constipation.

[JD]

Yeah. I wanted to punch people in the face.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

Just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just. I miss it.

[JD]

Yeah. Why are you stopping?

[John Clay Wolf]

I just want to lose some weight. I went on a. I went on a fast from May 1st to July 4th. No. No beer. Figured I'd lose 10 or 15, maybe 20.

[Bobbo]

You probably.

[DJ Pre K]

You probably will. Just that you can do everything else the same, but you'll.

[John Clay Wolf]

You'll lose weight for just drinking water. My wife over eating Water Burger last night, she's like, I thought you were on a diet. Like. No, I'm just. I watch. I just quit drinking. You know, 40 beers a week, and I bet something happens.

[Bobbo]

What beer will put it on you, man.

[JD]

Yeah, it's just sugar. It's metabolized.

[Bobbo]

Go to.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, go to givemetheven.com and load it up. Give me the vintage. Load up the car. And that goes for everybody else. Hey, can you start over that on the Hunt song? I was late and y' all didn't have any headphones. Somebody put them up. I bought a whole two new boxes of headphones and somebody put them all up.

[Bobbo]

That's my. That's my fault.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, why would you. Baba, listen, if we're gonna be roommates again and you're gonna move down here and you're gonna work here every day, don't do stupid s like that.

[Bobbo]

I was just hoping Turley wouldn't know. No, because I did. The first 10 minutes I was in here, I straightened it up a bit because I can't stand to look at crap LA around.

[John Clay Wolf]

I understand. But I said the other day, new headphones for everyone. Like, you know, that's like buying new towels. You don't need them.

[JD]

Nah.

[Bobbo]

But you're gonna use them.

[John Clay Wolf]

But you're gonna use them. And there's a time when you know that, like, people have probably wiped their butt crack with them and maybe washed too many times, and it's time to swap, right? New headphones for everyone. So Somehow we ordered two boxes and I get hit with like 500 worth. We send one box back, then the box that we actually get in is sitting here next to me to use this morning. And you put it up and I walk in to do the show. There's no headphones.

[Bobbo]

This is like sneezing for me, John. This is like an involuntary response, man to junk lying around. I don't have it. I haven't lived with a woman in years. So I understand and I don't have it.

[JD]

This is day one of him working full time.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can't do it. It wasn't even day one. It's like just moment one.

[JD]

I can't stand it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Moment one. He decides his full time position here starts June 1st. Okay, so he comes in this morning and starts moving stuff around.

[JD]

That's a dog. My tailby wagon. Well, you tell the whole story, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

You took the.

[Bobbo]

You took the table out of the room. So I got no place to put my bag. JD And I have snacks. We have like four pounds of snacks combined between us. No place to put the snacks. There's no horizontal space to put anything anywhere.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Bobbo]

Because of a box of headphones that are open but not used yet. Yeah, I put them out of the way, but I knew precisely where they were.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, did you look over at the host of the show's console box and see no headphones and maybe I need one.

[Bobbo]

No, I did not.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm glad you didn't take one.

[Bobbo]

You like a grown ass man. Your headphones are your responsibility, son.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's right. That's why I bought five of them.

[Bobbo]

Be prepared. A host is trustworthy, loyal, brave and responsive.

[John Clay Wolf]

I bought five of them and put them next to my spot so I'd make damn sure I had plenty in case I stepped on the dog and he broke some.

[Bobbo]

Michael, Dana, would you find us a 12 pack of shiner box, please, immediately. You need a beer, dude.

[JD]

Order webcams for every room.

[DJ Pre K]

Every room. So John steps on a dog. It's Baba's fault. Baba puts his stuff up.

[Bobbo]

It's definitely.

[DJ Pre K]

I mean, this is great.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, God, I got to tell you about the Leonard Skinner concert last night.

[Bobbo]

Oh, did you go? Did you go?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I went, I went, I went. I took the kids. Nothing like going to a. To a pot smoking concert with three children.

[Bobbo]

Were they smoking up at Windstar?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. Windstar. Where do they play? You're such a hillbilly. There is the Starplex. Man, there were 20,000 people there. 20,000.

[Bobbo]

Which bad company was it the real one? Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, that old man. Grandpa, he's 74 years old. The guitar player? No, no, no. Paul's 68, but that guitar player saw him last year.

[Bobbo]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Those guys are good, dude. Paul Rogers sounds good. They were better than Leonard Skynyrd. Leonard Skynyrd is a dead. It's a really them, right? It's a tribute band.

[Bobbo]

The artist formerly known as Leonard Skinny.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll tell you all about it a minute. My name is John Clay Wolf and I'm about cars on the radio.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. It doesn't have leather and it doesn't have a sunroof. It's got a nice stereo system in it. The fancy wheels. But the hot young wife had to have it because her Lexus got friggin hail damage.

[John Clay Wolf]

So did she leave? Because that's a, you know, that's a very big signature move of, of when the. When the hot young wife wants a.

[Caller/Listener]

Wrangler, she's got the fake ones up top and the wrangler and she's still there. And she's actually nicer to me than the old one.

[John Clay Wolf]

How old is she doing?

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, she's 34 and I'm turning 50 this summer.

[John Clay Wolf]

When did she get the wrangler?

[Caller/Listener]

I would say eight months ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now this wrangler is a high risk piece of merchandise in your relationship, your marriage and your life. It could unrail your entire existence. You need to sell it now.

[Caller/Listener]

And it rides like a five ton truck in the desert.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

It's horrible.

[Caller/Listener]

But anyway, so now of course she drives it. Now it drives like crap. Well, no kidding.

[John Clay Wolf]

20.

[Caller/Listener]

What do you think you're gonna get?

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to givemetheven.com Let me see the pictures of the wife and the wrangler. And if you have nudes, you need to send those too and we'll give 25 grand is what I'm thinking. Okay. Wow. 800, 800, 800, 800. 7:2:3. We've got to. I've got to see at all to understand and evaluate the situation in his household. He didn't call Dr. Phil for nothing. My name's Winston Wolf and I solve problems. 800-800-723. 4:02 van with 130,000 miles. James. It's a Dodge van which is not good. Is it a good what package is it like the conversion.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a high top or low top?

[Caller/Listener]

Low top, Sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm thinking 2500, but I need to see pictures. Go to givemethevin.com and load it up. We'll try to buy it. My name is John Claywolf. I buy cars in the radio.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

Back with more of the John Clay Wolf show after this, presented by givemetheven.com and now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll tell more about the Skinner concert. Okay. At the next segment at 8:45 because my kids right now are en route to a choir concert competition.

[JD]

Oh, okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Tabitha and Maddox for their school. And I don't want them to hear what I have to say.

[JD]

But now they know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but they're gonna be on a stage singing so they can't listen to their dad talking smack about the Leonard Skynyrd concert. I'm having to be more responsible. Responsible? You gotta talk good. The good stuff is when you know your kids aren't listening.

[DJ Pre K]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And when mom is out of town. Okay, real quick, terry. Deer Park. 15, 250, 42,000 miles lifted. It says SC. So is that super cab.

[Caller/Listener]

It's got the four doors. It's got the smaller back.

[John Clay Wolf]

DJ Pre K. Wake up. Don't be a dumbass. SC means super cab. Four doors is crew cab. Think of four big burly busky construction workers that make you like. I know you like them, right? That's why you wear those construction boots. DJ and they get in and out of four doors on the job site and you're like, oh God, those are some good looking jeans. Yeah. So that's Crew Cab. Dj Super Cab is like people like you that want to be something but they're not. And they're driving around with a half ass truck. But it's not real. Okay, we got the codes now. Terry, you got a crew cab?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And it's lifted. Does it have a sunroof?

[Caller/Listener]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, is it leather?

[Caller/Listener]

Cloth leather.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it is 1540, 2000 miles. It's going to be right around $40,000. Go to givemethevin.comgivemethevi.com or just put in your license plate number. The show number is 8008-0072-3480-0800 N Narval. Nar. J.D. good. Oh, look at NERV get around here. I do want him to Clean up the. The carpet and where we move the conference table downstairs. The new Byron. But not right now. Narvel.

[Bobbo]

Narvel.

[John Clay Wolf]

When we're on the air, you're not supposed to be cleaning. Why are you trying to get out of here so early?

[Bobbo]

I was just trying to get her to start. You know, we get this blue magic on that carpet. Yeah, we don't like it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good. Okay.

[Bobbo]

It works. You got a little bit of gum over there?

[JD]

The carpet.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, I can get it.

[JD]

Are you. Well, we're off here. We're here till noon.

[Bobbo]

It's like the astronauts. Hey, it just goes with the job.

[John Clay Wolf]

I understand, but. But we need you to clean up studio after we leave.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, we ain't doing nothing else. Me and my brother, Robert E. Robert E. What?

[JD]

Robert E. Robert E. Atterberry.

[John Clay Wolf]

Atterbury. Okay, brother.

[Bobbo]

We can go up to Dallas through the NRA rally, watch President Trump terror like it is.

[JD]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that today?

[JD]

That was yesterday.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah.

[JD]

The event still is.

[DJ Pre K]

Today was.

[JD]

Trump was here yesterday, and Robert E.

[Bobbo]

Was gonna try and sell his rims and 7 millimeter rifle. Daddy giving. Because. Have you ever skewed a 7 millimeter?

[JD]

It's. It's not a gun show. It's an NRA convention. It's not a gun show. You can't bring your gun.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you get it sold?

[Bobbo]

I bet they had a lot of guns.

[JD]

No, they actually, they. Now, yesterday, because Trump was there, they didn't let people bring guns.

[Bobbo]

Y' all want to buy 7 millimeter?

[JD]

No, I want you 7 millimeter.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much is it?

[JD]

Don't take it to the convention.

[Bobbo]

I think he said he'd take four.

[John Clay Wolf]

400? Yeah. Huh.

[Bobbo]

That's a good rifle. Kick like a mule.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what's the rule? What's the law, J.D. if I buy Narvel's Brothers, Robert E. Lee. What's your last name?

[Bobbo]

Asbury.

[John Clay Wolf]

Asbury. If I buy his 7 millimeter rifle.

[JD]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, how do I legally make that transaction?

[Bobbo]

All you gotta do is give Robert E. 400 and take the rifle home and don't kill nobody with it. And if you do, you got to hide the gun, and that's how you do it legally.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not the law.

[JD]

It's not even close.

[Bobbo]

We live out in Palopo, Penny county, out by Grayford.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

And Robert E. Likes to squirrel hunt. But every time he fires that rifle, he throws his shoulder out. And with the 7 millimeters, there ain't a whole heck of a lot of squirrel left. And so he's gonna get Something smaller. And I wanted to buy me a blowgun and a copy of the Shotgun news and eat a turkey leg and look at the fish in the cabela tank.

[John Clay Wolf]

The NRA can convention or a. A rally is not a gun show.

[JD]

It's not a gun show. Not even close.

[Bobbo]

It's not the gun. Nice show.

[JD]

No, that's totally different. Do not show up to the convention center with guns.

[Bobbo]

See, that's just how the good Lord looks down on you. And good things happen. Because we didn't make it. No way.

[JD]

Good. He took care of you.

[Bobbo]

We got in that old Chevrolet truck.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

And we ain't started it since last July.

[JD]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

Because we don't go nowhere. And we got it started up. But you know what?

[JD]

What?

[Bobbo]

There is a duck under the hood.

[JD]

That doesn't surprise me at all.

[Bobbo]

Yeah. Oh, Patrice.

[JD]

Patrice.

[Bobbo]

Robert E's favorite duck. She's a sweet little duck.

[JD]

They'll run a background check on you, John. When you go to a federally licensed gun dealer, they'll.

[John Clay Wolf]

But honorable and Robert E. Are not. Like if I bought Robert E's gun.

[JD]

I don't know what the rules are there as far as buying from an individual.

[Bobbo]

I don't know. It'd be all right.

[JD]

I never bought one from one.

[Caller/Listener]

You know why?

[Bobbo]

Cuz we wouldn't tell on you.

[JD]

Yeah, I know. But the stuff that doesn't make it legal.

[Bobbo]

You remember those chickens that used to play tic tac toe?

[JD]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobbo]

At Aquamarine Springs.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[JD]

Chicken bingo.

[Bobbo]

This duck could play Uno. I don't think so, knowing she give it to you.

[DJ Pre K]

Boy.

[JD]

The one under the hood, she'd be.

[Bobbo]

Going reds, you know?

[JD]

Right, right.

[Bobbo]

Because that's what you got. Reds. You play a three red, a nine red and a two red. Here comes that duck with a switch around. Who knows?

[Caller/Listener]

Who know?

[Bobbo]

And she said yellow. And you're like, damn it, look. That Patrice taking my money again.

[JD]

Every time.

[Bobbo]

She's a Uno plane. Son of a gun.

[John Clay Wolf]

So did she make it through the startup of the fan blade and the old Chevy truck?

[Bobbo]

Well, I'll tell you. Got her on the bill.

[JD]

Got her on the bill.

[Bobbo]

And she was stuck in there for a while. But she's a tough duck. It lies there in between. You know what a compressor is?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Of course.

[Bobbo]

That fan blade right up against radiated compressor. Had her bill caught in there. The thing about that Chevy is you can't just turn it off.

[JD]

Can't.

[Bobbo]

Why? You gotta pop the hood.

[JD]

No.

[Bobbo]

And go out and. And just. Just pluggulate the battery.

[JD]

Just. Just Pluggulate.

[Bobbo]

So she's in there and boys, it's trying to run.

[JD]

You can hear it, right?

[Bobbo]

And she couldn't even quack. It had her bill caught there and she was flapping. I'd like to see her lay a uno switch around yellow on me now. But we got her out of there. She's. She's convalescing. But if she doesn't get better, I guess we still got that 7 millimeter.

[JD]

I'm glad you didn't put her out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Of her duck misery. You take Old Yeller behind the barn, Orville, and put the duck down. Put Patrice down.

[Bobbo]

Well, the dog is different than a duck.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

Yeah. Dog's got personality.

[John Clay Wolf]

Duck sounds like it's got personality.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

What grade did you graduate through in. In the education system?

[Bobbo]

I got all the way out to sixth grade and grateful.

[John Clay Wolf]

And what did you do after you graduated from sixth grade?

[Bobbo]

I went to the private school, the John Birch School. Sixth grade. What's that? We write cursive and multiplication.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what. What did they teach you there? That cursive and multiplication.

[Bobbo]

Cursive multiplication, how to plow, field without a donkey and agricultural machine properties 101.

[John Clay Wolf]

What have you been doing with your life? Well, how old are you now?

[Bobbo]

For how long?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, I know you're our custodian here. You've been cleaning our office, which we really appreciate. You do a great job.

[Bobbo]

You ain't gonna believe this because, you know, we live good out in the country.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

I don't look nearly as old as I am, but I'm actually 24 years old. I know, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Richard and Conroe, good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

11 Silverado with a buck 40 on it. Is it a crew cab with. Is it leather cloth, cloth, 20 inch wheels or 18s?

[Caller/Listener]

18S. Is it a Texas edition? If that helps any.

[John Clay Wolf]

It should have 20 inch wheels if it's a Texas edition. You sure it doesn't have the big chrome twenties?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, you're probably right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Eleven with 140 crew cab. It's got to be $10,000 if it's two wheel drive. Does that sound right?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, that's about right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's do that. Go to givemetheven.com. i will get down there. I'll send the driver to your house to pick it up with a check.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay.

[Uncle Norman]

[Caller/Listener]

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

[John Clay Wolf]

Bad company and Skinner last night. That was good.

[JD]

Where was it again?

[John Clay Wolf]

Star Place.

[JD]

Starplex.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank God they renamed it Starplex. For those of you guys outside the Dallas market, Starplex is our big outside amphitheater.

[JD]

It's back to being Starplex, Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, it was GEXA and something else.

[Bobbo]

Yellow Pages, Murnoff Music.

[John Clay Wolf]

But my kids, Jimmy's Place. My daughter, she's in eighth grade and she sends me a deal on it a few weeks ago. Said Skinner's playing at Star Plex this day. I hear it. She heard it on the radio and she's like, will you take me? I'm like, well, typically dads would have to talk their 8th grade daughter into that. So I'm like, absolutely effing lutely. I'll take you. And I didn't say effing to her. No, but that's what I thought. So I took the whole damn crew. Except left Baby Dayday at the house. He's too, too short. Took Nolan and Maddox and. And like, when this song was on, all three of them standing up, singing.

[JD]

Every word, every word, every word. And they know this music from hearing.

[John Clay Wolf]

It on the radio, you said in the background. And Tab's got it on her playlists. And Maddox and Tab were sitting there just singing like. Like they grew up with it. It's cool, though, that the kids still have good taste in real music.

[JD]

They do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[JD]

Yeah. But, yeah, coming back around ELO and all.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was good. It was. It was good. Simple man was a big hit. This was a big hit.

[JD]

That blows me away.

[DJ Pre K]

How was the concert, though?

[John Clay Wolf]

It was.

[DJ Pre K]

It's not Leonard Skynyrd, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it. No, here's what you got. Here's what you got. And I feel bad because I. I've met Ronnie Van. Donnie Van Zant, Johnny Van Hell. I get confused, Fred. You're right. Johnny Vanzant. It was the funniest scene back in like 1999 or 2000. Johnny, we're. We're at Bushwood, the country club. Shady Oaks in Fort Worth.

[JD]

I understand. Shady Oaks Country Club, all the cool kids. So you're in Shady Oaks, just enjoying the rich people.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, right, right, right. And having lunch. And there's a bunch of long hairs next to us on a Sunday in the. In the dining room. Room.

[Bobbo]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm like, What the hell is going on? Long hairs.

[JD]

They don't fit.

[John Clay Wolf]

Freaks. Yeah, but long hairs. And I'm like, what the hell is going on here? The moisture look. I was like, that's the dude from Leonard Skinner. And they're having an engagement party because his wife's from Fort Worth and I guess she's got some scratch and her old man's a member of Shady Oaks. So we're sitting there and then they go out golfing. Dude. It looked like mle crew of the golf course. Can you imagine? It look like Halloween characters on the golf course at Bushwood.

[Bobbo]

No doubt.

[John Clay Wolf]

Greatness.

[JD]

Greatness.

[John Clay Wolf]

The guys from Leonard Skynyrd at Bushwood on the golf course.

[JD]

All the regulars just looking at. Oh yeah, we're going to have to clean this place up after they leave. Anything they touch. D Dean.

[John Clay Wolf]

So anyway, back to. Back to the concert.

[JD]

Disinfect.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was great. Johnny. The brother's 12 years younger than Ronnie. Ronnie Van Zandt, lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd, died in a plane crash. 77. He and a couple others. His little brother in the mid-80s, late-80s came up and said, hey, I'll be the lead singer. He's 12 years younger and he's been doing it. He's been the lead singer of Leonard Skynyrd longer than Ronnie was the lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

True.

[Bobbo]

Isn't that something?

[John Clay Wolf]

How. And they look alike and they sound alike.

[JD]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

But the passion, the sex appeal, the soul. The soul. He doesn't have that cockiness. Ronnie Van Zant used to take that stage with this attitude. Short man syndrome and that stupid hat. And he's just like, I'll kick all yalls asses and screw all yalls women right now.

[JD]

Right.

[Bobbo]

What we call a strutter in front of you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right in front of you. And Johnny can't do that. He doesn't do that.

[JD]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

He doesn't have that. That crazy spirit, crazy cross eyed spirit that his brother had. But he sounds just like him. He looks just. But, but the, the Skinner light. The seduction on the hook. You know how he does all that. I mean it's just not there. It's a cover band. The guitar's awesome because it's the real guy. The whole band sounded wonderful.

[JD]

It's just a little.

[John Clay Wolf]

But that, that damn lead singer. I wish that I could talk to him. And I know this is the farewell tour after 30 years of being a. A Skinner cover band, but they should have come and talked to me because I could have Produced him and shown him what he needed to do to properly imitate his brother.

[Bobbo]

Right, right, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's so close. He's so close. But he's just, you know, cover man. You're standing there reading the song. Reading the. Reading the lyrics off the screen. You're close. You're close. You sound close. Good. Yeah, yeah. You know, he doesn't have that. He doesn't have that. Screw you, Punchy. Right, right.

[JD]

It was like when we saw Chicago without Peter SATA. Great sound. Really close. But it wasn't Chicago.

[John Clay Wolf]

But anyway, it was really. Paul Rogers from Bad Company is a serious badass. 68 years old.

[JD]

Can you believe that?

[John Clay Wolf]

His lead guitarist. And I forgot the guy's name. Original. That's original band. The band that was on stage last time was original lead guitarist. All he. He's awesome. Awesome. Looks like Santa Claus. I asked Tabitha. Cuz this guy looks old. He's a hard 75. He looks like 95. He looks like a. Like a dead person up there with a guitar strapped on.

[JD]

Like, who brought him on stage? Yes. Rolled him up there.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I looked at Tab and I was like, can you imagine if that was your grandpa? What would you think? She said, that'd be awesome. My daughter. She meant it.

[JD]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's a fan. She's a rock.

[JD]

You got some rock and roll kids?

[John Clay Wolf]

I do have some rock and roll kids. Madison and Tab are both. But just going along. That smells on, you know, the Lynyrd Skynyrd song. And so everybody cranks up the weed. Yes. And Tab just looks at me. Have you ever smoked pot at a concert?

[JD]

She asked you.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're sitting there jamming along. Dad, have you ever smoked marijuana at a concert? No.

[JD]

Moment of truth. And he lies. I was gonna say it's a moment of truth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bobbo has. Remember that story about Baba falling down at the Bad Company Joe Walsh a couple years ago? And that's why Baba's a bad person. Kids, don't be like, bad Bobbo.

[Bobbo]

Well, bad Bobo, make me a bad person.

[John Clay Wolf]

John, have you ever smoked marijuana at a rock concert?

[Bobbo]

No, not on camera.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Yeah, it was good. And remember the. We're having a listener party before the Joan Jet sticks the bash on 92.5 in Dallas, Texas. Well, you can tell them this is your job. Why? Am I having a reason?

[JD]

Give me the vin.combo and Jim Bash. You can join John right here. It just says join John, Clay Wolf and the rest of the lackeys what is that? John Clay Wolf. You're the only person that gets billing in this deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, shake.

[JD]

Shake hands with John to get your picture with him the last time. What an egotistical job. A big beat. Dallas is where we're going to be. The Toyota Music Factory. It's coming up Sunday, June 10th. That's from three to five. And I'm kidding, of course. There's a free show featuring Stone Cold Sweat and Triple Lindy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who the hell is Stone Cold Sweat? Who the hell is Triple Lindy?

[DJ Pre K]

That's a ice skating move, isn't it?

[JD]

Yes, it is. And they're going to be there doing.

[John Clay Wolf]

If we're going to promote their bands on our show, then Bobbo needs to play with them.

[JD]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bobo's a better he. I don't know Stone Cold Sweat or Triple Lindy, but Bobbo can play with those guys.

[JD]

Probably can. It's gonna be a great show anyway, coming up June.

[John Clay Wolf]

Once it once put them on hold. D.J.

[JD]

Sunday, June 10th. All the details are john claywolf.com or our Facebook is John Clay Wolf show.

[DJ Pre K]

So big listener party.

[JD]

Big listener party.

[John Clay Wolf]

Big, big, big listener party. We're giving away T shirts. Go Pre. Pre David, Oklahoma City. Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, you. DJ Prek is the bomb. Your show is unreal. I've listened probably for a year and every, every, like, every time it's a little bit better. I think you're just on the right track.

[JD]

Thank you.

[Caller/Listener]

On I. On YouTube, there is a video these three characters went down to Skynyrd's parents, housed in Jacksonville, I think, in the early 90s. And they. Because it's tagged with VHS footage. How like the old VHS camcorders used to have those timestamps.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Caller/Listener]

And. And their mom is still alive, and she's on the porch and she goes, y' all ain't gonna rob us, are you? And I go, no, we're fans. And she goes, we'll go on in. And Lacey, their dad, is there. And that's. It's a shack of a house that he built himself. Himself. He was a truck driver. And on the walls are like 18 gold records. And they talk to Lacey and. And then they. They leave. And it's just very unique.

[John Clay Wolf]

Doesn't she have a hamburger store in that town too? Something like that. I've seen this. No, they are a bunch of hillbilly backwoods rednecks. And they, they, they. It's an incredible story. And did you know that, you know, the brother Donnie is the lead singer for 38 special. So these three brothers are all great lead singers. They're all suffer from short man's complex. That's why they have full beards and walk with a strut. Now Johnny needs more. We just need to work on his strutting.

[JD]

Strut.

[John Clay Wolf]

Strut. Cluck Norris. Cluck Norris, you hear? Cluck. Cluck. Perfect cluck. We need you to get with Johnny Van Zandt. We could take you out to the golf course at Bushwood, Shady Oaks, and you could teach him how to strut.

[Bobbo]

I could show that boy the whole course in three easy moves. Left foot drop, right slide left, right foot down, point your beard.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's how. Cause we take us out.

[Bobbo]

Clark, if you go anywhere now, you gonna miss the best part of the John Clay Wolf show. So don't go away. Damn.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm digging it.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

Give me the vin. The John Clay Wolf Show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. We've been reliving the Skynyrd concert from last night. That was. I'd never seen him, Bob.

[Bobbo]

Oh, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'd say Tuesday's Gone is my favorite song. If I had to pick one song in the world of my favorite song, and I've told. I've told at my funeral, I want that song to play. Oh, really? That's my favorite song. And Skynyrd is the most. I mean, the bodywork they would have had if he would have stayed. If he would have stayed alive, they wouldn't just be replaying their old songs. They'd have new ones that are good.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

Yeah. You got to wonder about, like, what would John Lennon have been doing in the 90s, you know, when all the grunge was coming out? Because, you know, he was. He did that kind of music way before anybody.

[John Clay Wolf]

He just moved with everybody. I mean, whatever was going on. Larry Denton, 15 Sonata was sport with 25,000 miles, leather roof. What color?

[Caller/Listener]

It's black.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much is it? What? Do you have any other dealer? Do you have any other offers? I just want to buy it.

[Caller/Listener]

No, I went to the. What? Yeah, and I need to sell it quick. I'm moving. I went to the site and got a range of 12, 7 to 14, 7. And I just need to know what, you know, I need a firm number on it. I got to get rid of this thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

My computer system will bid the cars instantaneously. Give me the vin.com. so did you. Did you reply accept, decline, or Considering?

[Caller/Listener]

Considering.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so what's it take to?

[Caller/Listener]

About what I'm Needing what?

[John Clay Wolf]

What, what's it take to buy 13?

[Caller/Listener]

5 to 14 is. Is what I'm looking at.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I'll do that. If my computer said I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it. So put me down for 13 firm and get all the pictures in to your buyer. And if it's just clean, clean, clean, then we're gonna go to 14. Thanks. That's it. Give me the vim.com. and you can also just plug in your license plate number. Greg and Frisco, good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

What's going on, guys?

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks.

[Caller/Listener]

Were you joking about the Stone Cold Sweat band?

[John Clay Wolf]

No. There's going to be a band, a couple of bands at the listener party in the. The pre party at Big Beep Dallas before the show on June 11th. We're gonna meet the fans and Bo and Jim are doing their thing. But I say Bobbo should get to play with him. He's a wonderful musician.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, I thought you were joking because Stone Cold Sweat is Bow and Jim.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, okay. Is it just two guys?

[Caller/Listener]

Well, it's the Bow and Jim show. It's their band. With Jeff K. As well. I think so.

[JD]

Was Triple Lindy. Is that all one band? Stone Cold Sweat and Triple Lindy.

[Caller/Listener]

I think it's just Stone Cold.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a dive in Back to School. Rodney Dangerfield. He did the Triple Lindy.

[JD]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, he did. Well, okay, so Stone Cold Sweat, is that two guys and guitars or is that like a band?

[Caller/Listener]

That's an actual band. It's their band that they do on the weekends.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who plays the drums?

[Caller/Listener]

I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

I could play the drums.

[Bobbo]

I've never seen them.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can play the drums. Maybe. So, Bob, so we. We could like fill in for a song. We could play some Skynyrd, man. We could play a Skynyrd cover. Just like I heard last night.

[Caller/Listener]

Heck yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

At The Skyard Show. 800-807-234.

[Bobbo]

Triple Lindy. We have a friend named Lindy. And back in the early 80s, Lindy had a. Had a Friday plot that he would pull once in a while. Once in a blue moon. And he would start picking up women at noon on a Friday.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's told me these stories and by.

[Bobbo]

10Pm he would be three women down. And that's what we called the Triple Lindy.

[JD]

The Triple Lindy is an eighth. Never mind.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I've heard this before.

[Bobbo]

Burnett to Henrietta.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that true? Is that true?

[Bobbo]

It's gotta be.

[John Clay Wolf]

He tells these stories like they're true.

[JD]

I know he does.

[John Clay Wolf]

He says the best way to get a woman off center in a bar is, is make her take her shoes off and show you her feet.

[JD]

Why?

[Bobbo]

Why does it work?

[John Clay Wolf]

Says it's kind of. It's kind of bad. What? Okay, well, like. Honey, what's that thing look like? I. I want to see your feet because it's. If you got pretty feet, then I want to see the rest of you naked, basically. And he said they'll whip. He said they'll whip those shoes off so fast.

[Bobbo]

You know where I learned about women?

[John Clay Wolf]

He said, once those shoes come off, this deal is over. The triple indies in full effect.

[JD]

Yeah, well, the triple Indy is an 80s cover band, by the way. Kate and I just found out.

[DJ Pre K]

That'll be fun at the big bash we're doing.

[JD]

And then the triple Indy is also a way to get women to take their shoes off. And this is all coming up in case you wonder.

[John Clay Wolf]

How you doing?

[Bobbo]

Good, good, good. Oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, how. How's the mechanics? Life?

[Uncle Norman]

So far so good. We keep going and I'm doing, you know, the thing. You go to work, you go and you do your thing. Well, by the way, I. I got a question. How we get surprised when I come to the show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Uncle Norman]

I heard that you stop drinking.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. Yes.

[Uncle Norman]

Oh, my God.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's no fun, is it?

[Uncle Norman]

No, the thing of it is, is I noticed several hints of you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Uncle Norman]

When you are drunk, you. I tell you the truth, John, when you drink, you walk better than you walk when you are sober.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that not the truth?

[Bobbo]

Yes.

[Uncle Norman]

You got better balance. I don't know what the hell you. You're a mutant or something like that. I. I am not a doctor, but I would recommend you. You please drink. You're a better person when you drink.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm telling you, I stopped drinking for. For between now and July 4th, just. I just want to lose some weight. But that's funny that you notice that. No, I'm serious. I think you're right. And it's not that I'm drunk during the day at all. It's just that if I. If I'm drinking my. Is that something you notice?

[Uncle Norman]

That you're a better person, you walk better. I don't know. I don't know how your wife can take care of this if you don't drink bowling.

[JD]

You do better when you're just slightly relaxed.

[Bobbo]

Okay.

[Uncle Norman]

I see you two. Two hours a week, and I kind of stained yourself sober. Imagine her. You have to live with you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you know what I notice is. Is. Is the beer. I'm hearing my wife a lot more now. The beer was. They're My head is my headphones. It cancels the background noise. Ah.

[JD]

It's a.

[DJ Pre K]

Absolutely.

[JD]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I never realized that until this week when I stopped drinking beer. So. So I'm hearing a lot of things that I don't want to hear that I. That the beer would cancel out. Like noise canceling headsets.

[JD]

Exactly what beer is.

[Caller/Listener]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's really helps. We've got. Speaking of. And this is just ironic that it's all rolled together. We've got Bob. Not Bob. Well, we'll. We'll call him Robert because Baba will get confused. We've got Robert in here who's a. He works for givemetheven.com and. And he. I need. I needed your help. Uncle Norman. Robert, good morning. How are you?

[Robert]

Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

How are you feeling? I'm okay. Robert took a week off of work. Okay. Unannounced. Unannounced. Unannounced. And I wanted to bring this into the.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

He.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll just backstory it real quick. Robert's been with us for about six months, something like that. And he recently got promoted, and he just didn't show up Monday, didn't show up Tuesday, didn't show up Wednesday. Hadn't heard a word from nothing. No text, no nothing. Like, did he die? Is he gone? Did he take another job? Because you know these car business people, they'll bail off and run to another job, not tell anybody. And then we. Then we talked to him, and he's like, hey, man, I've been on a. I've been on a bender. I've been on a bender. I've been drinking.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

So he twisted. Twisted off and said, but I want to come back to work if you still have me. I'm like, yeah. He said, well, my wife will bring me up to work tomorrow. I was like, why is your wife bringing you to work? He said, well, I've been on, you know, been on. I don't think it's safe to drive. I'm like, let's do this. When it's safe to drive, then come to work. I think if your wife needs to drive you to work, then maybe you're not ready to come back yet. If you're too drunk to drive, then you're too drunk to work. And then catch me up.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Robert.

[John Clay Wolf]

Robert, catch me up. Is there anything in the story I'm screwing up on so far? No.

[Robert]

It's just one of those things where I kind of fell off the wagon. And I used to drink a lot, and now I don't drink like that anymore. But I don't know what happened. And it's not the alcohol right now, John. It's actually when people drink like that, they get into a detox mode where your balance and your equilibrium is really off.

[John Clay Wolf]

In it. What? You heard what Norman said just a moment ago that I've recently quit drinking beer and he thinks I'm walking worse.

[Robert]

You are the exception to the rule.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He says I'm walking worse. You said the detox mode throws your balance off.

[Robert]

Absolutely.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not the exception. Then what you're telling me is what Norman's observing in me is that I'm in detox mode and I can't walk straight. I'll be damned. I'm learning a lot here this morning. J.D.

[Bobbo]

So what's your. Robert, what's your. What's your beverage of choice?

[John Clay Wolf]

Just beer, really.

[Robert]

Just Bud Light.

[Bobbo]

See, I'm so incredulous about you guys because I don't. I mean, beer doesn't even seem to have any alcohol at all in it to me.

[Uncle Norman]

Wait a minute. If you're gonna get that. That messed up in beer, you have to have at least half an ounce of coke some. Somewhere, because I don't think that you know how. How many times you can have to go to the bathroom to pee to get a bench on BE Beer.

[Bobbo]

That's right. You don't buy beer, you rent it.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is what I wanted to ask you, Robert, is I. I want to know what are you drinking? A, because I'm interested in. B, because I'm jealous. I had no idea that you could get that blown out on booze where you completely check out and don't. In. In your phone, in your. All your communication you see your bosses and your co workers calling you and you don't care. I mean, that, that's drunk beyond an area that I can comprehend. And I'm. I'm a little bit jealous. I want to understand how you get there.

[Robert]

It's hard to say. It might just be getting old, but I have a very unhappy wife right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

So yeah, here I am.

[Uncle Norman]

Well, it could be. There is another things, emotional problems and things like that.

[Bobbo]

Yeah. But in five days, how many beers?

[Robert]

I mean, like, I mean three cases, 20 a day.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, okay, well, hang on, but that sounds like a lot. But that's only. That's less than one an hour, John.

[JD]

Assuming you stay up 24 hours a day.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so I mean, so, so I want it. I want it. Here's the deal. We got to figure all this out. And I need, I need input from the listeners. 800, 800 radio. What we want to figure out, I need to understand more details, Robert, of what happened, how it came unplugged. I've got more questions. So you're telling me that the beer, beer gets you so twisted that you unplug from life and forget your. The inputs from society.

[Robert]

That's all I can tell you.

[John Clay Wolf]

I need more than that. I want to. I want to work with you. I want to believe you. Okay, so I need more than that because I've drank enough beer to kill a small village. And I understand what being drunk is and pacing beer. But, but that, but, but you know, alcohol is alcohol.

[JD]

It really is. I know you say that, but then of course that percentage makes them. But you can drink enough. You can drink enough wine to kill yourself. You can drink enough beer to kill yourself. You're thinking hard liquor. It's just. Yeah, you could do enough of anything.

[Robert]

I think it's the consistency. It's not that you drink so much at one time, but if you start drinking at 8 o' clock in the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Morning, get in that mic run, you.

[Robert]

Stay on, you start at 8 o' clock in the morning, the morning, and you don't stop drinking until 8 o' clock at night.

[Bobbo]

That is dedication.

[JD]

Shut up, Bubba.

[Bobbo]

No, it is. You know, but what with something like whiskey.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

Or like a big old delicious bottle of rum.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll get into more of this in just a minute when we, when we get back. 07 Denali with 150,000 miles of Yukon. Denali. Steven Arlington. Is it average rough or clean? Steve Arlington. Steve, is, is your 07 Denali average rough or clean? Is it seven? Oh, big difference. DJ Pre K. He's, he's, he's challenged. He's not, he's not full blown tarred, but he's challenged. I think it's 10,000 bucks.

[Caller/Listener]

10,000?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. Does that work? I write you a check for 10,000, you give me the keys and the title.

[Bobbo]

There are parts and then there are b pro auto parts. Parts built for every vehicle. Parts built to fit and function.

Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we have a buyer from. Give me the vin in here. Good morning, Robert. And we were talking about. Robert went on a bender last week and left work. Didn't tell anybody anything. And we are, you know, so Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, no show, no communication, no nothing. Wednesday night we talked to him. He said how I'll be in the morning then. Then Thursday he didn't show up. No, Thursday he did. He said, my wife will bring me. I said, if you're not in good enough shape for your to drive, then come to work Friday. Then Friday he didn't come in. No communication till Friday afternoon. But he said, now I'm here. I'm coming Saturday. So you've taken a week off during spring break. I just want to understand. Norman, have you ever. Have you ever gone on a bender? Yeah. Tell me about it.

[Uncle Norman]

Well, when I go to a band, there it is because it's something else related with it with like a woman. And I just get away. And when I come back. Well, I used to get fired from jobs Because I used to show up with hangovers. That's the problem with me. I never call and say, hey, I an adventure or nothing like that. I just show up. I'm greedy. I want my money. Well, no, I'm not greedy. I just, I have to pay bills like everybody else responsible.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you, you would get fired for being. So. Did you ever do what I'm talking about? Like just really go away and not call in?

[Uncle Norman]

No, no, I never did.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what I mean. I don't have to ask about your drinking, Bobo, but have you ever like Lindy Baba Lindy tells stories of your early radio days where you would, they would have remotes and you would have like the key to the car that is the remote car or you would have the. You would. They would be relying on you to show up at these businesses to do remotes on weekends.

[Bobbo]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you were so wasted that you wouldn't answer the door?

[Bobbo]

No, no, that's not the case.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, something was the case.

[Bobbo]

What would happen is they would sign a last minute Saturday remote on a Friday and I did 90 of the remotes for this station we worked at.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay?

[Bobbo]

So I kept the Marty kit in my car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

And somebody else is doing this last minute cyber mode. The Marty's are broadcast and they're coming over without. I, I have no idea anybody's even looking for me. Oh yeah. Much less the equipment. So.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, so you, you, you weren't trash the night before and wouldn't answer the door. That's not true. But he's lying. Wendy's lying.

[Bobbo]

Well, there's there's one time. There's one time. True story.

[JD]

There was that one time.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't have a long story.

[Bobbo]

Just answer my. My wife left me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

On a Thursday.

[Bobbo]

We, we'd been married for 90 days or so. I had a remote scheduled the next morning at 9 or 10am at a furniture store for a big giveaway. We're giving away this big unfinished piece of furniture.

[John Clay Wolf]

Stop it.

[Bobbo]

In addition, the, the head guru, the GM of another station in our group wanted me to, to do the 6am on that station for the show. And I plumb forgot.

[JD]

Okay?

[Bobbo]

And the whiskey did not help me remember.

[John Clay Wolf]

J.D. have you ever not have. Did you ever not.

[JD]

I have shown up to a television shoot completely trashed? Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, showing up trash is one thing, but did you ever just check out?

[JD]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Check out and go away?

[JD]

Yes. When I worked at. Yes. When you worked at a country station in Dallas.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was that story?

[JD]

That story is it Was a. It was a Thursday night, and basically I just didn't show up the next day. I didn't show up Thursday. I didn't show up Friday or Saturday. By Sunday, they were looking for informing with the police. And I came back to work on Monday, explained to them that I was drunk. It was bad, very embarrassing.

[John Clay Wolf]

But how do you get so drunk that you forget to call? Why don't you just call into work and say, hey, I'm sick, or lie?

[JD]

I. I didn't. Because you get so twisted off that you just forget. I mean, you don't forget. You just don't want to deal with it. I know you have, but you haven't gone that far to the point where you have recovered and had to get, you know, the detox. Have you ever. Have you ever got to that point? Let me ask you this. When you quit drinking this week, did you go through the shakes?

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[JD]

Okay, well, then you don't drink enough to go to that point. What do you mean?

[John Clay Wolf]

Damn good. All right, so. So, Robert, what are these stories or any of these resonating with you? So I want to understand how you. I understand how you get drunk and don't come to work, but for five days, I don't understand that. I want to understand that. I want to work with.

[JD]

With you.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to know how this happens.

[Robert]

So there's a lot of people out there that don't function the way that you do. There's a lot of people that function the way JD does. There's a lot of people that function like Bob used to. And I think at the end of the day, you have to come to grips with that, and you just don't have that chemistry in your body.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay?

[Robert]

So I think once you get to a point, you just kind of feel bad. You kind of sink into a. I don't want to say depression, but when you get like that, you just kind of check out. You don't want to talk to anybody.

[Bobbo]

Depression.

[Robert]

You don't want to get out of bed. You don't want to do anything but go to the liquor store, come back home and crack another one open. So there's a lot of people that understand exactly where we're coming from to where. If you're a normal drinker per se, then you don't have that same problem. So you can't comprehend it because you don't have that chemistry.

[John Clay Wolf]

You and I talked Wednesday night after three days of missing work, and then you said, I'll come in in Thursday. My wife will drive me I said no. If you're not good enough to drive in, wait till Friday. Okay, great. Everything's cool. We're solid. You're sober, I'm sober, John. I'm sorry. I'm sober. I fell off the wagon. I'm back. Everything's great. I'm gonna be there. Okay, Friday, no show, same thing.

[Robert]

So here's the deal. Once you start the detox process, you almost have to go out and drink more to kind of get through that stage.

[JD]

He's right.

[Robert]

So when you get up in the morning and you have two warm beers left and you go out and you drink them because you've hidden them from your wife and the garage, that gets you started again. So then you don't give. You don't care again. And so at some point in time, you have to say, okay, my body's had enough. I can't do this anymore. And that's where I got.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's where I'm at right now. We need to keep you here all day. We, like, need to keep you with us because you're going to twist again.

[Bobbo]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why not? You told me you weren't going to twist Wednesday night. You told me you weren't going to twist Thursday morning.

[Robert]

I'll tell you because I know once you're. Once you know that you're done, you're done for a while. I quit. I quit drinking almost the whole year. Last year, I didn't drink. I had my first drink in 2017 on my wedding day. So I know that I can't get into that role again. And I'll lose everything. You know, you're gonna lose your wife, you lose your house, lose your job, and. But for some reason, if that chemical imbalance that people like me or JD Used to have, I still have it.

[JD]

I just don't feed it.

[Robert]

You can't understand that mentality because it doesn't make sense.

[JD]

No, it's.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's.

[JD]

It's.

[John Clay Wolf]

I kind of do. I. I can't say I don't. I mean, I really want a beer since I quit drinking a couple, you know, a couple weeks ago. I do understand it, but you have an off switch.

[JD]

At some point, you can go, okay, that's enough.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I don't. Because I'm more fearful of my life cratering than to feed the desire of wanting to have a beer. Gotcha. So it's called responsibility.

[JD]

That can change. Trust me.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's called responsibility. We'll be back in a minute. We'll cover the rest of this and call in And I want some opinions on what y' all think. We should. If Robert should stay on, if he's gonna be straight and. And we should give him another shot or if. If you think that this will never change and this will be a continual pattern.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

We'll be right back. More of the John Clay Wolf show presented by Give me. Give me the vin.com coming up. And now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning, everyone. We're getting a little heavy this morning. We're having an internal issue. We went ahead and let the listeners in on. And just to. Just to catch it back up real quick. Robert, a key employee at give me the vin, one of our best producers.

[JD]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Went off on a bender, left for three days, never heard from him. Then he checked in and then he stayed gone for a couple more days. And now he's back and we're trying to figure out if. If we should bring him back on or, or, or not. Should we trust the fact that he's not going to do this and let. Let his teammates down again or.

[Bobbo]

Are.

[John Clay Wolf]

Give him another chance. Hang on a second, Brian. Good morning, Houston. Good morning. What you got?

[Caller/Listener]

Well, I was listening to your show. I, personally, I don't. I don't deal with that issue myself, but I've never let a mom do that. And so I'm seeing it is like, you know, if you're. If say you're a younger folk, your mom dies on you. Like we all see and we know that happens to. And yeah, that sucks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Brian. Stop, stop, stop. You're related to Bobo. Tell me what you want to say. Quit telling me stories, okay?

[Caller/Listener]

I want Bobbo have a chance as long as he's not, you know, wants to make his life better. If he's telling you that he's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gonna do it, so you say keep him.

[Bobbo]

Wait, wait, wait. This ain't about me.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it's Robert, not Bobbo. Anyway, your, your, your, your vote is to keep him and give him another shot.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

Thank you. There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

So there's a. There's one under keep him and then we're gonna lose him here. So we're keeping a score. We're going to take 10 votes.

[JD]

10 votes.

[John Clay Wolf]

800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800. Radio Thibodeau in Dallas. Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, how you doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm good. What do you think?

[Caller/Listener]

Well, I guess all comes down to how many times he's done this. I mean, if it's the first time he's done it. Yeah. You might need to give him another chance, but I guarantee you, I like to drink like the next man. But the second day, I don't call in no show. Yeah, I got to go down the road. I'm in a job. You know what I mean?

[John Clay Wolf]

He brings up a good point, Robert. How. How many times has this happened before at other places?

[Robert]

I've never really done it before at another place, per se, but I've done it when I'm not working or on vacation.

[Bobbo]

Sure.

[Robert]

But this was the first time that I've caused this much conflict, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so. So, Thibodeau, you say keep him if.

[Caller/Listener]

It'S the first time, letting him hold his job. So, I mean, it's up to you, bub.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, thank you, thank you, thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800-Radio. Jay and Waco, good morning. Keep him or lose him.

[Caller/Listener]

You got to keep him. Give him a chance. Help him out.

[John Clay Wolf]

He.

[Caller/Listener]

I've been hit by a train due to alcohol.

[JD]

Well, there you go. Did that wake you?

[John Clay Wolf]

Up top that.

[JD]

Robert, did that wake you up? Did you stop?

[Caller/Listener]

No.

[JD]

No, sir.

[Caller/Listener]

I've been to rehab and.

[JD]

And how many times? Wait, how many times?

[Uncle Norman]

I've been.

[Caller/Listener]

Once. Quit for six years, went through a divorce, started back, and I'm drinking a beer right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey.

[Bobbo]

God. Amen.

[Uncle Norman]

You spanked the monkey once. You will spank it again.

[JD]

Can I ask one question?

[John Clay Wolf]

I just hung up on him.

[JD]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was your question?

[JD]

Didn't matter.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now.

[JD]

I was gonna ask if he was. If he went into AA or some group or something other. If he was actually in recovery or.

[John Clay Wolf]

Drive JP In Baton Rouge. I mean, if anybody knows alcohol trends, it's the guy from Baton Rouge. J.P. you got to take us off speakerphone. It's feeding back. Or turn your radio way down.

[Caller/Listener]

All right, what's up?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So what do you think?

[Caller/Listener]

Well, to be honest with you, I had some problems like this when I was still at lsu. I didn't show up to my radio job. I worked at a jazz station in Baton Rouge, and I went on a few benders, but they gave me a couple of second chances, and here I am five years later, and I'm still there. And also work in television.

[JD]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you ever go off that hard, though, where you didn't call for three days?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. Like you said, I'm from Baton Rouge, so you know how it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

Now, I missed my show a couple of times. I did a jazz show Saturdays and Sundays.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let me. Let me. Let me throw one other nugget in here.

[JD]

Here.

[John Clay Wolf]

So he can't. And, Robert, I apologize, but it's just the truth. He can't answer his phone. He won't answer his text from me or his teammates or anybody. We call his wife, and she says he's okay. That's it. But there's paid. There's Facebook posts, right? There's Facebook posts. So it's obvious that he's got his phone, and he's still. He's very coherent.

[Caller/Listener]

You know what that is? That is a little dark, man.

[DJ Pre K]

I don't know.

[Caller/Listener]

You know, I'm better than me. Whenever he's cutting you off like that, that is kind of messed up. I never did anything like that because I love my radio job. But like I said, they gave me a bunch of second chances. And.

[JD]

And it was jazz.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm still there.

[John Clay Wolf]

And. And it was jazz.

[JD]

Right? You could have showed up drunk anyway.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, jazz is a different mentality, man. It's Boogie Head. It's Cat Daddy. It's cool. Tanya and Pecos, good morning. Hi.

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you think what we're doing. What we're doing is we're voting to see if we give Robert a second chance at the company.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes. I. I say lose him.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why?

[Caller/Listener]

Because he's an adult and he knew.

[John Clay Wolf]

What he was doing.

[JD]

Have you ever heard any. Have you ever had any issue with alcohol?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes. I'm married to an alcoholic.

[JD]

Oh, there. There's. There's the underlying anger.

[Uncle Norman]

That's.

[JD]

That's.

[Uncle Norman]

That's what happened.

[Caller/Listener]

No, it's just reality check here. He knew he had a job on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, he probably didn't know if he had a job or not. But then you called him and he said, okay, these suckers are gonna buy it. Thursday, Friday, Friday, all day. He thought, well, I should have showed up.

[Podbean Announcer]

I didn't.

[Caller/Listener]

He still didn't call. Then on Saturday, he remembered y' all were suckers, and he came back.

[JD]

Is your husband still drinking or is he quit?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, yes, he's still drinking.

[JD]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, you know, she's got a point. So we got a slash for. But right now there's three. Keep them. One, lose them. We're going to 1080-080072-34800, 800 radio. Randall and Houston, good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Morning. How are y'? All?

[Bobbo]

Good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good.

[Caller/Listener]

All right. I say get rid of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why?

[Caller/Listener]

I own a small business, having me many a time with my guys, and I'll give them one day, you know, no call, no show. One day I'll try them again. The next day, if they call me or come back in, I'm okay. I'll give them a good talking to. But after that, three days, and then another three days. No, I wouldn't even. I wouldn't even answer the phone call.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that's why I made him come on the air this morning. And he had enough guts to come on the air.

[JD]

Absolutely.

[John Clay Wolf]

And take this torture from.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, man, they. They got all the guts in the world when his job's on the line.

[Bobbo]

Trust me.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right? I like this guy. All right, so we got 800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. 800, Joe in Dallas. A14 Honda Ridgeline. I need to hit this. This guy's been holding forever. I'm gonna drive him to drinking if I don't bid his car. Joe, you've got. You got a. You got a 14 Honda Ridgeline. What color?

[Caller/Listener]

Black on black.

[John Clay Wolf]

And how many miles?

[Caller/Listener]

All right. Just turned 52 this morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you working a deal with any other dealers right now? Do you already know where you're at.

[Caller/Listener]

What you need to do at 20,002 at Hendrick's Volkswagen on Monday?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, 20,002. And you're buying a new Volkswagen or a used one?

[Caller/Listener]

A new one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I know those guys pretty well. Which one is that? The one in Dallas. They have a bunch of stores. Pretty good outfit. Is it a RTL or rts? SE or Sport? Which one is Sport?

[Caller/Listener]

Right, Sport. Sport tires. Got 6,000 miles on them.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, that's. That.

[DJ Pre K]

That.

[John Clay Wolf]

That is. You got 22,000 on trade?

[Caller/Listener]

No, 20,200. So that's pretty.

[Bobbo]

I think, pretty strong.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's pretty strong.

[Caller/Listener]

Trying to get 21.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Tell them I'll give 21 and they can do the in and out with me. And I will Ed Hendrick and I know Pickering real well, the used cardirector. And just tell. Tell them I'll give 21 and we'll do an in and out with him. And then you get your tax credit. Thanks. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Go back to the situation at hand. We need John Lennon. Give him a chance.

[JD]

Give him a chance.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on. Here's one. David in Dallas.

[Bobbo]

Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning. Good morning. I think give him a chance. If he gets some help. Believe me, I'm not an alcoholic. I don't like to drink, but I'm an addict. I've been clean 19 years. I used for 15. It's an escape mechanism. Deal with the things in his life that's causing him to want to escape.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, Richard in Houston. What do you think?

[Caller/Listener]

I think you ought to give him a second.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

I think. I think you should give him a second chance, but not a third chance. Sometimes when people have a problem with alcohol, they just need somebody to show that they care a little bit and it might help them out.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, Marcus and Mesquite, what do you think?

[Caller/Listener]

You know, I think maybe you should give him a second chance. Depending on his age. You know, young people make mistakes and he.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just like Cecil, what do you think?

[Caller/Listener]

I think he needs to go. I think he made more than one decision just not to come to work. He did it several days in a row. He ignored your phone calls. And each and every time, I think he made a decision to ignore you and not come to work. So he had a second, third, fourth chance already, and he chose not to take advantage of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Robert, what do you think about that?

[Robert]

I mean, I think it's all valid points, and I think that the risk reward is something that you kind of have to weigh in.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've got seven seconds before we have a hard out. We're going to be back in just a minute. We're going to keep this going. Roy, are you there?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want your opinion, too. We'll be back in just a minute. My name is John Clay Wolf. I buy cars and radio.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

Givemethe vin.com presents. Crank it up.

[Podbean Announcer]

It's red hot.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm digging it.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

Give me the. The John Clay Wolf Show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning, everyone. For those of you all are just tuning in, we've been doing our Dr. Phil hour. It's. We had a situation sneak up on us where a great employee, producer, staff member that recently been promoted Went off on a, on a week long alcoholic bender. And he said he was gonna come back, then he didn't. Then he said he was gonna come back again. I said, if you're gonna come back again, again, you're going to come in the radio studio, you're going to sit down with us and we're going to let the audience decide. Cuz I don't know what to do.

[JD]

It affects a lot of people. Look at the lady that called in with her husband.

[John Clay Wolf]

And what, what, what, what kind of precedence does it set for the rest of the staff? You got to have a heart, but you got to hold a line.

[JD]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on, I want to hear what Uncle Roy has to say. Uncle Roy, what do you think? Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you've heard all this?

[Caller/Listener]

I think you should get. Yeah, I hit it all. You should be familiar with all this, right. I think you should give him another chance. You know, back in the day we had old man working for us.

[John Clay Wolf]

Which one?

[Caller/Listener]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, oh, Roy Irwin. My God, he's another Uncle Roy of mine.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's something that'll trigger this drinking spree. I mean, once he started, he gonna start. I mean, it all depends on the managing you whether you like him or not. Because he will do it again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right?

[Caller/Listener]

But it was me, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Roy Irwin worked for my granddad.

[Bobbo]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And my dad. And he, he's. He looked like he was a million years old.

[JD]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

When he was 40 from his drinking, we actually bought him a truck. Do you remember that, Roy?

[Caller/Listener]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we bought him a new Chevy truck. And how, how my, the company did. How often would he twist off and go down?

[Caller/Listener]

About every four months. We would drink every day in the parking lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

I drank with you when I was about 10 years old.

[JD]

Was there ever any penalty when he would twist off and come back?

[Bobbo]

Hang on.

[Caller/Listener]

But he would never stop. Would he take that first meal? Yeah, he's gone for two months.

[John Clay Wolf]

Two months?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, he'd be gone two months.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh.

[Caller/Listener]

Do what your granddad had to go clean him up and bring him back. Once he take that first bill, that's it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And how would he go clean him up?

[Caller/Listener]

It'll make him shave and take a shower because he had his little apartments back up here. 15 or 20 cases in there and he gonna drink every day. He ain't gonna eat you, just drink.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do remember that. I forgot all about that. And then Jason and then Cole Colbert. We had this operator at the construction company, his nickname was Colbert. And he would he wasn't as bad as Roy, but he'd take off, wouldn't he?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, he'll take off. He won't take off for two or three days. He couldn't afford it, but Roy could. And your granddad, your granddad knew he was going to do it, so he just plugged somebody else in and never miss a beat, bro. Come back to work whenever he got ready. Seven days a week.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, actually I talk about the bars that we own when we were in high. When I, when I was 19.

[JD]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

That old man, Roy Irwin.

[JD]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Built that bar. Did he really?

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[JD]

So he's good at that.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's good at that. When he was there, he was a hell of a craftsman. All right, that gives me something to think about. Thank you, Roy. All right, real quick, we're down to like three. There's like four votes left. So I want to cat in Arkansas. What do you think?

[Caller/Listener]

I think you should get rid of them. You know how many people want his job? They're just, they're in broadcasting school, they're putting in their resumes and they're sitting and waiting. And he's getting chances that they don't even get a foot in the door.

[John Clay Wolf]

There is his job. There's a strike for. Get rid of him. John. John in Arkansas. What do you think?

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, so yeah, definitely. Are you there?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're on the air.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay. Sorry, I had another call coming in. You got to get rid of the guy. You've got, you've got one defender of the guy using the quote that he had received, quote, unquote, several second chances. What does that even mean? The 17th second chance?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, I mean the truth is there's just two second chance of him.

[Caller/Listener]

Your defenders of him are not mathematically coherent. Which, which brings in the idea of lack of education versus also work ethic. And it's a commentary on the deterioration of our society. And I've had three glasses of wine for breakfast and I take aunt and him.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's had three glasses of wine for breakfast and he believes. Okay, Robert, So, so now, now it's. Now it's one more and it's a tie ball game. By the way, Robert Dallas, what do you think, man?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm a small business owner. You got to get rid of this clown. He doesn't take you seriously. He doesn't take himself seriously. There's no self respect. And at the end of the day you have to make a decision. Are you trying to run a business or a non profit organization?

[John Clay Wolf]

All Right. Here's the final vote. Maybe.

[JD]

How close is it?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's time.

[JD]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's tied. It's actually. I took it too far. I've got five and five, so I was gonna do 10. This is Bob's wife. The man we're talking about's wife on the phone. Stephanie. Susie.

[Bobbo]

Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Hi. Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hi. Hi. Hi. Well, you've heard all this.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you think?

[Caller/Listener]

Well, I think you should give him a second chance. Okay. 99 of the time, he is the most amazing, hardest working to the point where every night I have to tell him, put the dang computer down, because it's our time, not give me the Zen time. So, I mean, he's one of the hardest working people I've ever seen in my life. He has this one thing, and he's. And he's getting over it. So.

[John Clay Wolf]

So tell me this, Steph. And I agree with you, and that's why we're here. And I hear you, but you as the wife, like when. When we're trying to contact him, when Ed went to Facebook and hit you and said, what's going on? And you just wrote back old demons. Why didn't you let us know?

[Caller/Listener]

I wanted him to have. That's a really hard question. I wanted him to be the one to own up and tell you. I didn't want to be the one that was fighting his fight for him. He needed to be that himself.

[John Clay Wolf]

And are you aware of the. Are you aware of the promotion that he had just received?

[Caller/Listener]

I am.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So I. I just. That I have a little. I'm listening to your advice, but I'm. I'm putting it back on you a little bit. I would think that it's not her.

[JD]

Place to fix this. It's just not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, I'm not saying to fix it, but to let somebody know the guy's not in the hospital, he's not dead, he hadn't taken another.

[JD]

She said old demons to one of.

[John Clay Wolf]

The reps that work here, and he didn't even tell us. We're calling him. I'm calling him. Turley's texting him. Everybody's trying to get a hold of the guy, and nobody will call back. But we can talk on Facebook. We can be on Facebook, but we can't answer the phone from the office. Stephanie, I need an answer to that one, Because I'm with you. I hear you.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can we make an agreement that if this happens again, that we will have good communication?

[Caller/Listener]

Absolutely.

[John Clay Wolf]

You. You will hold the torch for Good communication. So that we're not. I'm not out trying to hire new people. And I figured this guy's gone off and taken another job somewhere. Because in the car business, people are bouncy. They'll just run and they don't tell anybody. Oh, yeah, I'm working at blah, blah, blah, Toyota now.

[JD]

So is this the last vote or are you going to take one more? Does she count?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna take. She doesn't count because she's too close.

[JD]

She's too close to the deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Steph, I'm gonna take one more vote. So we're gonna see if we're gonna. If. If we're gonna give this guy. And I'm. I'm. I'm a softy. Is the truth, too.

[JD]

You are?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, very much. Probably coming up from what Roy's talking about. I didn't think about that. I've seen.

[JD]

You've seen it all happen. I've seen it with your family.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've seen this. All right, hang on. Here's the last one.

[JD]

Last call.

[John Clay Wolf]

Random spin that wheel. We've got 20 callers on the line. We're gonna grab one and let's see what the listeners decide. Justin, good morning. You're on the air.

[DJ Pre K]

Hello.

[John Clay Wolf]

His career is in your hands.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, well, you know what? I think a lot of people are taking this way too out of proportion. And I'm gonna have to say I'm saving your job, buddy.

[Robert]

Thank you, sir.

[Bobbo]

Is that your uncle?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no. Justin, why do you say.

[Caller/Listener]

Been through this before. And you know what it's not about. He's got this huge problem. I mean, right now. Is he wreaking a beer?

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Caller/Listener]

Right now, is he. Does he got these cold sweats and he's twitching?

[JD]

No, no, he's past that.

[Caller/Listener]

So I think a lot of these people are just. Are thinking about their own. That they have.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, here's what I'll give kudos for. It is having the balls to come on the air absolutely in front of everybody and know that your staff, your listeners, the whole families is involved in having the guts to own up to it. So now. And the reason I did it this way is to keep his ass in line. Because now everybody knows. So now everybody will help. You know, everybody saying, help him, help him, help him. What I'm trying to do is help by. Because. Because there's relationships in our office in this, and guys will keep an eye on it.

[Caller/Listener]

For the certain people that were saying, well, now everyone else is going to. Well, there's going to be a question everyone. Well, no, actually, everyone else is going to say, well, I bet it's going to escalate a little bit for me, right? And I'm that blonde. And it's going to be a little bit freaking worse for me, so maybe I shouldn't do this.

[JD]

I think you made a point.

[John Clay Wolf]

You can't say S on the radio, FYI. But yeah, but I hear you. And we've got one more guy that, that, that is like, this guy's done it once in six months. We've got another guy that's doing it once a week. We need to get him on later in the show too, and have a little talking.

[JD]

I know what you're talking about.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we're gonna get all this.

[Caller/Listener]

The guy is doing it once. The guy is doing it once a week. He might need a little bit of help.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, 800, 800. Seven, two, three, four. Bob, I, I think that we've, we, we're gonna. I, I think we've all said enough. I think everybody knows where, where they stand. And I appreciate your old lady calling in and you having the guts to come in here. Oh, Bob. Bo.

[Bobbo]

And for the record, that is the other Bob, not Bobbo. This is not about me, Mom. Do not call me.

[JD]

Because it kind of is about you too.

[Bobbo]

No, because it's not about me. I don't need chewed out again by my mother.

[JD]

Because now why does your mother do that? I wonder why.

[Bobbo]

Because I drank too much and I fell down.

[JD]

Is that the first time that's ever happened? Ever? Yeah, ever.

[Bobbo]

The first time my mom's ever chewed me out about it?

[JD]

Yeah, that's what I said.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

First time you've ever fallen down stepping on each other.

[Bobbo]

You should have heard that conversation.

[John Clay Wolf]

You.

[Bobbo]

Well, what is this? Is that alcohol? Do you want me to pour that out, son? No, it's very, you know, changed. It's been six months since I drank this.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's clean our palate and get back to other things. We've got Rush Limbaugh, Randy the Chipmunk, all the, all the stuff coming up. Remember that. We have the JD's can catch us up on the details of the party. Buford in Houston. 12 Silverado Z71 Texas edition with 124 wheel drive. Crew cab lifted. Is it leather or cloth?

[Caller/Listener]

Cloth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Average. Rough or clean?

[Caller/Listener]

Clean.

[John Clay Wolf]

Clean. All right. And it's got 120. How big is the lift? Like four inches or six or eight. Are the tires. How long ago did you put tires on it?

[Caller/Listener]

They got about 8,000 on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, 8,000 on the tires. I think it's worth 14 grand.

[Caller/Listener]

Good price.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, well, let's go to getmetheven.com and load it up. Robert, you got any. Sounds like you need to get back over there and get to work if you're in the mood for it.

[Robert]

Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are we all straight? And everybody cool?

[DJ Pre K]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Perfect. Well, thanks for coming in and. And thank you. Thank you for coming in here and explaining everything. And let's just act like this didn't happen and. And get forward and move on and continue success.

[DJ Pre K]

Well, he thinks it's bad in here, right? Wait till he gets into the locker room. The buying room.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, the ball busting will happen. Are you ready for that? Because it will happen. I mean, you know, the guys in there and the girls at the girl.

[John Clay Wolf]

But, hey, the girl, I. I ran into her at the bar a couple times at 1 on weekdays. What were either one of us doing out there?

[DJ Pre K]

But it's good that he.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, he owned it, but we both showed up in time.

[DJ Pre K]

You own it, then it's. That's. That's half the battle.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, there's that.

[Bobbo]

Norman. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you think?

[Uncle Norman]

What I think is, well, he has his job back. What kind of work did he do? He's a buyer.

[Bobbo]

Yes.

[Uncle Norman]

To get a comfortable chair because he's going to be sitting in that chair.

[Caller/Listener]

For a long time.

[Uncle Norman]

Don't think that you're going to get a raise. Don't think that you're going to get a promotion. He owns you now.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I don't own nothing. Hey, you're. You said your dad was an alcoholic.

[Uncle Norman]

Yes, my dad was an alcoholic. Actually, he was a Vietnam veteran. When he came back, he was all whacked out, and he named me Norman. Imagine myself a Puerto Rican, a Spanish guy with the name Norman.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Uncle Norman]

It was very, very peculiar thing. I used to fight in school all the time over that. Oh, your name is funny. But actually, when I get to the States, that was the best thing ever happened to me. My name.

[John Clay Wolf]

When you got to the States. Okay, so on the. On the outgo, I want to hear Randy's comment real quick. Yeah, Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I never heard nobody get that way over beer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Randy Chipmunk. Yeah, I should have asked for your vote, too. I'm sorry, Randy. You were sitting over there in the corner with your hand in the air the whole time.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I'm a. I'm a chipmunk, you know?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I'm a chipmunk.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[JD]

I know you got drunk at south by Southwest and couldn't find your way home.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I weigh seven ounces.

[JD]

I know, but you don't.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I could drink a case of beer. What's the deal? What's going on? That's crazy. Y' all stay with us. There's more John Clay Wolf coming up. I think. Unless we all get drunk.

[Robert]

Now by.

[John Clay Wolf]

This time, I'm plenty high. You know when your mouth is getting dry.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

GiveMeTheVin.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]

Glenn? An 01 BMW with 180000 miles is worth. It's like a donate car. It's just not. Yeah, it's just a donate car. Just give it to kid that you like and. And when it breaks, I mean, it cost me more to handle that car than what I can get for because nobody can keep it running.

[Caller/Listener]

I appreciate it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, sir. Jimmy and Altus, we already did it, man. We saved him. Y' all saved it. You say let him go, right?

[Caller/Listener]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you been through it?

[Caller/Listener]

I've been through it with other things before, but I never got in a situation where I let it, let it made me lose my job or whatever. But basically, if you keep him, you're telling everybody else that you can screw me over and, and I can let you get away with it. If he had to have the foresight of, you know, when, when you first started contact him and he sent you, just sent you a note and said, man, I'm having a problem with something. It's going to take a little bit. I'll get back to you. That would have been a little bit different story. But he completely ignored you. And you can see on Facebook or whatever that he was still making some kind of communication but didn't do anything with you. He's basically telling you, you know, I'm doing, doing what I'm doing. I'm screwing up and I'm going to get away with it. And like I said, if you let him stay in, you're telling everybody in the company you can screw me over and, and you're free to do it.

[JD]

And you're going to get on the radio and be embarrassed is what he just did.

[Caller/Listener]

Pardon me.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was quite a firing line we put him through to try to see, to see if. To shake this out. I was surprised that he came on the air and I was surprised that he sat through it all.

[Bobbo]

I got an idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

When's he coming back?

[John Clay Wolf]

Monday. Morning.

[Bobbo]

Place your bets.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've got five bucks that says the pressure of what we just put him through, he drinks over the weekend and we don't see him Monday morning.

[JD]

I'll double that 10 that he shows up, and I'll tell you why.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, I'll back up J.D.

[John Clay Wolf]

Too. Tell. You're gonna back up J.D. good. Tell me in a minute. We'll be right back.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

Back with more of the John Clay Wolf show after this, presented by givemethevin.com. And now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com 800 807.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do sound muffled.

[Uncle Norman]

Yep.

[JD]

You do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I do. I don't sound right. 800-800-radio. 800-800-7234. Okay. My ears are so blown out from that damn Leonard Skynyrd concert last night. They were bleeding.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And my wife's like, it's because everybody here so old, they don't have it. They're hard of hearing, so they turn it up. And I was like, well, the reason that they're hard of hearing is because they were listening to this crap too loud forever growing up. You know, it's not Justin Bieber, honey. This isn't Timberlake. This is Skinnered in Bad Company.

[JD]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's serious rock.

[Bobbo]

Bringing hillbilly back.

[JD]

That's a terrible. Are they. Are your ears ringing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, I said right in front of them.

[JD]

Bleeding in front of the speaker stack at a Toby Keith concert one day. And I woke up the next morning going, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dylan in Louisiana. Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, Good morning. Hey, I was thinking they got a T shirt I'd like you to put together.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

On the top half on like a street sign saying line 11 lane 11. And then under that half, get you some.

[John Clay Wolf]

Get you some. Thank you, Dylan. Thank you. Thanks for tuning in.

[JD]

And you can meet this whole crew. By the way, we have a show coming up June 10th. Sunday, June 10th, from 3 until 5 o', clock, we have a pre show. It is the givemetheven.com Bowen Jim Bash. This will be the Toyota Music Factory again. It's that day. You can get tickets and all the information is@john claywolf.com and a pre reg for the T shirt, pre registration for the T shirts. If you want to do it now. John Clay. Clay wolf dot com. And you can get the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

50 people that pre register for the listener party get a free T shirt.

[JD]

And do it quick because Dana, who's handling all this in our group, just said she got 17 already this morning. So if you want a T shirt, now is the time to go get it right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

But you have to show up to the listener. But just it's to meet us. You're going to come to the listener party and. And yes.

[JD]

Anyway, meet folks and T shirts.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to john claywolf.com and you'll. You'll figure it out. Evelyn, good morning. You're on there.

[Caller/Listener]

Hello, Evelyn. Hello.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, you got a baby with you?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

How old?

[Caller/Listener]

Not really, baby. He's two.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, okay. Yeah, that's baby mine. Mine's four. And we're still calling baby number. You had a 12 Nissan Rogue.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

And is it a SL or S or what do you know? Tell me this real quick. Is it a leather or cloth?

[DJ Pre K]

Cloth.

[John Clay Wolf]

No sunroof or. No sunroof.

[Caller/Listener]

No sunroof.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hubcaps or alloy wheels.

[Caller/Listener]

I don't even know what that means.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I think, honestly, I like the miles on it. Is it average, rough or clean?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm sorry? Is it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it average, rough or clean condition?

[Caller/Listener]

It's pretty clean.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

Average.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where are you calling from?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, Houston, Texas.

[John Clay Wolf]

7, 500.

[Caller/Listener]

You said 7, 500.

[John Clay Wolf]

$7,500. Yes, ma'.

[Caller/Listener]

Am.

[John Clay Wolf]

Put them on hold. D.J. put them on hold, D.J. put them On Hold. D.J. Stephen in Houston. Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, John. Just want to say you guys sound like a bunch of crazy people, but a good company to work for.

[JD]

What?

[Caller/Listener]

And you seem like a crazy family, but you guys are good. Good. And I hope you guys treat Bob well. We love the show down here in Houston. You got to come back down here and do a live party again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks, man. Thanks for. Thanks for calling in, everybody. 800-800-7 2, 3, 4. So we're gonna real quick. And to wrap this up, for those of you all just tuned in, you need to go to the podcast@john claywolf.com this afternoon and grab it and catch what the first couple hours of the show are. Some of this isn't going to make sense, but. So the bet, I bet $5 that the pressure that we just put Robert through is going to tweak him off.

[JD]

And make him stay out this weekend.

[John Clay Wolf]

And make it and he won't show up Monday. I really would have never guessed he wouldn't have shown up yesterday. Ever, ever. I really didn't think he wouldn't have shown up yesterday after we talked on Wednesday.

[Bobbo]

Gotcha.

[JD]

I'm going to double down on your bet, and I'm going to say he does show up. And here's why? It is still very, very fresh. You put his wife on the air. You put him on the air. He's not like you and me used to this. Every week there's so much pressure. I picked up a lot of guys from. From jail. And everybody walking out of jail is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like, dude, explain why you would pick up guys at jail. Because, like, you're looking for.

[JD]

Because I have friends. I have friends that drank too much when I was, of course, drinking as well. And I'm in recovery for nine years.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're a sponsor for aa, right? And you would have people that get in jail that you would have to go bail out. And then you'd call me and ask me if I could give them a.

[JD]

Job every time, every single time. But that doesn't matter. The point is, you would never would. But anyway, so the fact is. No, because it's so fresh. It's so new, believe me. And I'm not saying down the road he may not twist off again, but this Monday, he'll be here.

[DJ Pre K]

I'm back. I'm back in JD because he's an expert.

[JD]

I've just seen this happen.

[DJ Pre K]

In fact, I'll do 20 bucks.

[John Clay Wolf]

20 bucks. All right, baba, what do you think?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I bet you a pound of fresh, fancy cashews you never see him again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, this is Randy. Good morning, Randy. Hi, Norman. What do you think?

[Uncle Norman]

Well, on the bet on the bed.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think that he.

[Uncle Norman]

I would have liked to keep him out, but he's coming back.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, good. We need him. I hope he does.

[Uncle Norman]

I hope that he take this seriously. And things that, when. When he drinks alcohol, that he had to know that he has responsibilities.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, you gotta get that mic.

[JD]

Now, in your family, which was a bunch of alcoholics, you said were there. Were there ramifications when people would drink like you said your dad would open when in church.

[Uncle Norman]

It is whatever it is ramifications for everything in life when you do something like that.

[JD]

So what would happen when your dad crack one in church?

[Uncle Norman]

Well, you just try to tell him, get him out, get him out, get him out.

[JD]

And he came back next week.

[Uncle Norman]

Well, you know what I mean. But I. I understand some of his position, but he had to understand too, who pays the bills. I hope that his wife makes good money, because if I take five days off out of work, I don't know how to pay my. I guess the. The note on the card or something.

[Bobbo]

Like that, you know, that's why I quit going to church. Norman, no. No free refills.

[Uncle Norman]

No real refills.

[John Clay Wolf]

I Ain't having it, Randy.

[JD]

Oh, boy.

[DJ Pre K]

I.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're running out of time on this segment, so I'm going to get to you in a minute.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

It's okay. I got to go to the bathroom.

[John Clay Wolf]

[JD]

He can't be sleeping with my mom and still be my friend.

[Uncle Norman]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow, thanks, mom.

[JD]

You can't tell me what to do.

[Caller/Listener]

You're not my real mom. Come.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mama told me not. My mom says I'm pretty. You smell like my mom. Mom has no reason to visit. It's your mama. I'm a stay at home non mom.

[Caller/Listener]

And I was raised by wolves.

[John Clay Wolf]

Come give your mama kiss.

[Caller/Listener]

I wish she was my mama.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, mom. Hey there, smart mama.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I love you, mommy.

[Bobbo]

Isn't my mother just plain better than anyone else's?

[John Clay Wolf]

Listen to your mother. She knows it all.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

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

[John Clay Wolf]

We'Ve got one more guy we need to get in here.

[JD]

Welcome back to the John Clay wolf roast.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we've got one more guy we need to get back in here.

[DJ Pre K]

One more.

[John Clay Wolf]

Give me the vin buyer. I want to bring him in an hour number four. I want to bring him in an hour number four and talk to him. I want to get all this straightened out now. So. So you know, when you do it, we might let you come back, but you're gonna have to sit before the board.

[JD]

The board, the committee. And this is so much.

[John Clay Wolf]

All the listeners. It's way worse.

[DJ Pre K]

I haven't gone over to the buying off to see if he actually showed up to work today, though, so.

[Bobbo]

Which one?

[John Clay Wolf]

A different guy.

[JD]

The other guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

A young guy that we're writing off. Oh, he's young. He's partying. Okay, well, we're. We're gonna let him tell his story, too. 800-800-7234, Lynn and Fort Worth at 04 pilot. Is it leather or cloth?

[Caller/Listener]

It is cloth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it three grand?

[Caller/Listener]

All right. Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[JD]

You threw me. I don't know if it's leather or cloth.

[John Clay Wolf]

I said, is it three? Three grand? He said. All right. Thank you. Well, I. Oh, I owe 9. 300 to Tricky Dick's note lock. And I went down to the cash cow in Baton Rouge and got an advance against my second time. I don't know if I can. So I owe about 14 grand on this one. I'm a little upside down.

[JD]

Yeah, I heard one of the buyers the other day had somebody with a truck that was worth about 14 and it was a 54, 000 payoff. How in the world do you do that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Good credit. Good morning, Randy. Hey, guys.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

What's going on?

[John Clay Wolf]

Not much. How are you?

[JD]

What is going on?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I don't know about y'.

[Caller/Listener]

All.

[JD]

I'm plum wore out from this morning's show.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I'm burned out as a chestnut on the fourth day of Hanukkah.

[JD]

Why?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Well, me and my friend Rusty. Yes, he chipmunk.

[JD]

Right.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

And him and me, we kind of started a little community outreach program for the less fortunate in the aminal community.

[JD]

That's very sweet of you.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

He has hard times out there for a bunch of the aminals. Till the pecans come in. There ain't hardly no nuts around nowhere.

[JD]

Not really in the spring.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Well, unless you know where to look. And we came up with this idea.

[JD]

Okay.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Cause we noticed every time we go scrounging for edibles, right. In a public park or after a big concert or in some old woman's purse at the laundromat.

[JD]

Not cool.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Guess what we mostly find.

[JD]

What?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Nuts. Really? Yes. Which is, Trey. Fortuitous for us. I mean, I guess people regard nuts now differently than us chipmunks do.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

They never finish them.

[JD]

No.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Boggles the mind.

[JD]

Little bag of nuts stuck in your purse. But it's true. It's for later.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I found a fairly representative cross section of the people population.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Or carrying around an open package of unfinished peanuts.

[JD]

That's true.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Or mustachios.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Or delicious smoked almonds.

[JD]

So you steal these like.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah, I guess humans don't have an appetite for dust like we do. And we got to thank him instead of throwing them away.

[JD]

Right?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

We got our friend Sparkle.

[JD]

Sparkle? Who's Sparkle?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

She's ferret.

[JD]

Oh.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

She's a very tech savvy. All she does is play Fortnite Battle Royale on Xbox Live.

[JD]

Okay.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Anyway, she does a blog about emerging trends in the nut gathering marketplace. This is a ferret? Yeah. And we got her to make us the 501 Triple C website where people can give us they're nuts for a nominal tax deduction.

[JD]

So you're a non profit nut?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah. And they don't have to bring them to a drop off point or nothing. They just log on.

[JD]

Okay.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

And say come get them.

[JD]

Come get them.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

And they can send pictures and everything.

[JD]

Okay. What do you do with the nuts when you get them?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

You wouldn't believe how many people will show you their nuts for a tax write off. Hey, hey.

[John Clay Wolf]

I bet it took off.

[JD]

It's a bent.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Since Wednesday we got more than 100 hits.

[JD]

Really?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

That's like 44 pounds of nuts. And of course we take net 25 of all nuts collected as comptrollers of the nut trust.

[JD]

I see how that works, but it's.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

A lot of work.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Apparently as philanthropists.

[JD]

Philanthropists.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

We fail to anticipate that the Internet will eat your ass.

[Caller/Listener]

Why?

[JD]

What happened?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

They're coming in left and right sideways.

[JD]

Oh, you're getting your nuts everywhere. Succeed. You're succeeding.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

We that weighing out nuts till 4 o' clock in the morning.

[JD]

Oh, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's like Pablo Escobar.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I had my very first nut nightmare this morning.

[Bobbo]

It's bad, isn't it?

[John Clay Wolf]

A wet dream.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah, it's like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Except it was nuts coming to get me me. So I'm done.

[JD]

We should take some time off.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Y' all feel free to show us what you got on. Give us your nuts dot com.

[Robert]

All right.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Happy Mother's Day, everybody.

[John Clay Wolf]

[JD]

Most of them were drunk Saturday morning. They were. Well, not all.

[John Clay Wolf]

In Newton, Kansas, authorities say an extremely intoxicated man was attempting to have relations with the tailpipe of his car.

[JD]

What are you doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, you're reading my newspaper.

[JD]

Give me my news.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, that's a whole odd.

[JD]

Yes, it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

The 24 year old was taking the emergency room Tuesday because of his light, his 0.35 blood alcohol level. He said, if y' all can just sober me up, I can get back to work it. Give me the vendor, I promise I'll.

[JD]

Be in on Monday.

[Bobbo]

0.35.

[JD]

Oh, man, that's heavy.

[Bobbo]

Okay, 0.08 is legal.

[JD]

It just passed the legal point. Yeah, that is almost over three. Almost four times. Times. Wow. The legal limit, that's right on the verge of alcohol poison.

[Bobbo]

Didn't 4.2 kill Keith Whitley?

[JD]

Yes, it did, actually. Yeah, anything over three can kill you.

[John Clay Wolf]

How old was he when he died?

[JD]

Oh, man, 42, I think.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was he married to Lori Morgan?

[JD]

Yes, he was.

[Bobbo]

He did.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was she a big deal then or was she nothing?

[JD]

No, she was a big deal then.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[JD]

Yeah, they, they were both like Drew in Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning, you're on the air.

[Caller/Listener]

Hi, how you doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Good, good. 12 explorer limited with 72 two wheel drive, leather navigation, no sunroof. Is that right?

[Caller/Listener]

No, no sunroof. Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Navigation, leather, no roof. What color?

[Caller/Listener]

Black.

[John Clay Wolf]

$13,500.

[Caller/Listener]

All right, I'll go online.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks. Load it up, give me the vin.com. we'll write you check. Assuming it's got a good Carfax, you know if it's got a previously blown airbag.

[JD]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or frame damage.

[JD]

Damage.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, we've got to adjust things. But anyway, I'm just bidding them we don't have any problems. Have you noticed?

[JD]

No, I do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we don't have any problems at all. Everybody tells the truth. Tell the truth. My ears are so blown out from the Skinner deal last night.

[JD]

Were you going to tell us anything else about the show now that your kids aren't listening?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, just, just. I already did. It was when my kids like, have you ever smoked pot at a concert?

[JD]

Oh, they ask you that? Yeah.

[Uncle Norman]

No.

[JD]

You told them no.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I've not.

[JD]

There time for dad to lie.

[Uncle Norman]

Why not?

[John Clay Wolf]

Anyway, because this is not what good kids do.

[JD]

That's not what dads say.

[Bobbo]

Because it's illegal in Texas, son.

[Uncle Norman]

Oh yeah, but you can have a big bottle.

[John Clay Wolf]

But that's what my, my daughter was like, why is it okay for everybody to be smoking pot in here? Is it okay just cuz it's a concert?

[JD]

That's a good question.

[John Clay Wolf]

And she's like, how do they do it? I'm like, well, they, you know, so that's what brought up. Well, they bend over and like kind of, you know, hide themselves and, and she's like, have you ever smoked pot of concert? You know, so much, dad. Now that was Baba. I watched Baba one night at Joe Walsh pass out. But it is interesting. Why is it okay in rock environments for the, for the doobies just to come out and everybody just turns the other way. Have you ever seen police press anybody in a concert venue? I never have, Bob.

[Bobbo]

It goes back to what restaurant owners call clientele. You're just around that kind of people at rock concert.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I mean, is it okay to speed too, if you're around speeders?

[Bobbo]

Apparently you drive in traffic at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do.

[Bobbo]

They're gonna run you over if you don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

So those.

[JD]

It's just, I think, I think the cops know at that point. Why stir up everything? We can handle the real problems, the real issues in life by staying out of the crowd.

[John Clay Wolf]

Rush Limbaugh, we are running out of time in this segment, but I do want to talk to you.

[JD]

[JD]

Yeah, that's probably it. Yeah.

[Bobbo]

I'm having a festive no work Saturday.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll tell you all about it when.

[Bobbo]

You have a little time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mother's Day. Oh.

[Bobbo]

It's my favorite weekend of the year.

[JD]

Really?

[Bobbo]

Especially since my friend Jimmy Buffett taught me how to properly address those days after Cinco de Mayo.

[JD]

That's not true. He's not your fault.

[Bobbo]

I feel like a new man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you?

[JD]

I'll tell you all about it.

[Bobbo]

I'm really just.

[Uncle Norman]

What?

[Bobbo]

I'm kind of excited.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to bid. Rush. I want to bid one more car real quick. And then we're going to go to our number four in a minute.

[Bobbo]

[Caller/Listener]

Correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's. Oh, gosh, I think it's 18 grand. Does that sound right?

[Caller/Listener]

Close.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to give. Go to givemetheven.com Throw the license plate in or put the VIN number in. And like always, if we don't beat a CarMax offer, and that's for anyone listening, if you send us a picture of your CarMax offer and we don't beat it, we send you a check for a hundred dollars. It's just that simple. And I just do that to validate what we do. Look at our reviews online. I mean, we're the best car buyers. Give me the vin dot com. The best car buyers in. In America. But right now we're only active in the southern states. And we will see you in hour number four. Remember the podcast. Thanks for calling in. Dane by.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

And now back to the John Clay Wolf show presented by givemethe.vin.com David and Norman.

[John Clay Wolf]

God, do I not sound muffled?

[JD]

You sound good now.

[John Clay Wolf]

My ears are so blowing. Screwed, dude. I may have to get hearing Leonard Skinner.

[JD]

We'll stop going to concerts sitting in the front row.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's that freaking auction in that damn hose. It's screwing my ears up. And then I went to that concert last night. I can't hear anything. I'm going to have to practice sign language. David and Norman. 05 Lincoln LS Is it a V8? Or a V6, V8. These cars are hard for me to sell. And you have a wonderful mile one. I love the miles on this thing, but these things just don't do what they're supposed to do. They're not popular.

[Caller/Listener]

Right, I understand that, John. You're just the most knowledgeable person I know about cars and I just inherited a garage full of them.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, I'm about to.

[Caller/Listener]

Let me put one of my father's cars that he drove. I mean, he bought it brand new 2005. Like I said, fella got 42.

[John Clay Wolf]

I gave, I gave $10,000 last week. I gave $10,000 this week for an 08 town car with 8,000 miles. Oh, yeah, but I mean, isn't it stupid that a town car's worth a fortune? And let me, let me look this car up real quick. This ls, is it the sport package or do you know.

[Caller/Listener]

A friend of mine told me that Jaguar motor and chassis on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's why it won't run. But do you know if it's a sport package? Just don't. There's a sport package. Dual. Dual.

[Caller/Listener]

It's got it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's got it. Okay, listen to this. Look at this. I'm looking at comps. Recent sales at auctions. Right? 05 Lincoln LS V8 Sport. In April 24th was 76,000 miles in Baltimore, Washington. One sold for 700.

[Caller/Listener]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. And okay, so then April 19th, 110,000 miles brought 600. So May 3rd, 122 brought 900. I mean, it's just ridiculous. I, it's a. I'll give it to my daughter. Right, Right. No, I'm with you. I think it's a two thousand dollar car is what I think.

[Bobbo]

But.

[John Clay Wolf]

And if you want to sell it for that, do it. But the rest of that stuff, all the cars you, you bought. Go to givemetheven.com we literally bought 37 cars from one person two weeks ago. 37.

[Caller/Listener]

I think I got 15 or 16.

[John Clay Wolf]

I got a. I don't have to, I don't have time for all of it. Go to givemethevin.com and load it up. But yeah, we bought 37 from one guy and we got a cashier's check yesterday for $480,000. Wow. And did, did the title transfer with him. Jeez. All right, we'll do it. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. Brian. A 13 Wrangler with 45. Is it lifted or is it stock?

[Caller/Listener]

It's lifted. It's got a five and a half Rubicon lift.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, it's a ruby.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, good. I need to see it. These jeeps, man, they all look different. It's like, you know, how much would you give for a pretty girl? Well, let's see a picture. I. I need to see it. And I don't buy women, by the way. I understand, but I'm just giving a bad analogy.

[JD]

It's an analogy.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the one if I did, she'd definitely be of age.

[JD]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I want to clean that up.

[Uncle Norman]

Of course.

[John Clay Wolf]

Brian, go to givemetheven.com and load this Wrangler. But I can tell you one thing, I will give you all the money for it because I love them.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay. If you had a ballpark, it's white, mid-20s.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mid-20s.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, buddy.

[John Clay Wolf]

800. 800. Seven, two, three, four.

[JD]

800.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where have you been?

[Bobbo]

Hey. Yeah, I was just gonna tell you about it. Charlie, do me a favor.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's up?

[Bobbo]

Help. Help smooth me over with Lieutenant Dan. I think I got under his skin a little bit.

[JD]

The buyer? Over the buyer?

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

Nothing, Nothing. That's why I stay out.

[John Clay Wolf]

A minute ago you said you called him big country.

[Bobbo]

Well, that's what I call him because I can't remember.

[JD]

Lieutenant Dan, is that what got you in trouble? That guy?

[Bobbo]

That guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Big Country?

[Bobbo]

I am.

[Uncle Norman]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

No, I just went in. You know, I like to say hi to Nicole and Eric. You know, they're hanging around most of Nicole old Hoots.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you're over in the buyer's office screwing around, trying to be funny, knowing you.

[Bobbo]

Not at all. I was just saying hi.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

You know Hoots over there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

And, you know, Eric has a real, real enthusiasm for the Michael McDonald thing.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, Jeff. You're talking about Jeff.

[Bobbo]

Oh, Jeff, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah. And so, you know, we did a.

[John Clay Wolf]

Little bit of that when Michael McDonald calls in with a fake car.

[Bobbo]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And can you give the listeners a quick.

[Bobbo]

Gonna buy the automobile.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, baby.

[DJ Pre K]

Right.

[Bobbo]

So I'm doing that. And Big countries over in the corner. He's on a call. He's obviously working hard. And I. It was my fault. I wasn't paying attention. He turns, there goes, keep it down.

[DJ Pre K]

I think he said, get you some.

[Bobbo]

Now, what do I. How do I generally react to that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Not well.

[JD]

Very negative.

[Bobbo]

Not correctly.

[DJ Pre K]

Everyone started doing it more, probably.

[Bobbo]

Not terribly more. Not terribly more. But I wasn't going to lay down and shut up either.

[John Clay Wolf]

What you do?

[Bobbo]

I just kept talking to who he Turned around and gave me this stink eye.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do.

[JD]

You're in his office.

[Bobbo]

I know, I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here we. JD it is happening already. Bobbo starts full time. He's not even here full time yet. June 1st.

[JD]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he's already stepping all over the place doing his bobo thing. All over the place.

[Bobbo]

That's not the case.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're gonna have to get you tuned back up to real life. This is a busy place.

[Bobbo]

I understand. And I said I was in the wrong, you know, but guy's so friendly to me all the. There's time. Boy's like, keep it down, why don't you?

[JD]

Then you go in there as the big guy and apologize. Yeah, that's what I thought.

[John Clay Wolf]

You w. Well, speaking of big country, he has a guy that works on his team, right. That we need to get in here.

[Bobbo]

Oh, is that why he's so uptight? Maybe.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, now he's been talking to me about this fell, and this fella's been here a while.

[Bobbo]

He seems uptight.

[John Clay Wolf]

His name is Joe Henry. What's called him? Joe.

[JD]

Joe.

[John Clay Wolf]

Young guy. Get. He's over there. Good, because I said I wanted to get in here. Joe. Good morning.

[DJ Pre K]

Good morning, guys.

[JD]

Get up on the mic right there. Perfect.

[DJ Pre K]

Hanging in there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hanging in there. So, big country, you know who we're talking about? Your fearless leader.

[DJ Pre K]

I'm fearful of him, that's for sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, obviously not, because he's come to me and asked me. He's asked me if he could let you go three times in the past six weeks. And I keep saving you, right? I do. Rob me. No, Joe, Joe.

[JD]

He looks like another guy in our office. That's why I called him Mr. X.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can you garble his voice? So. So in the spirit of. Of roasting Robert this morning on the air over his situations, we. We've got to cover you, too. I want to clean all this up in one day. So what is going on with. With you? You're one of our. What's the most money you've ever made in this company in one month?

[DJ Pre K]

Well, you know, not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, there's a number. I'm looking for a number. What's the. Let me. Let me ask you a question, and you answer with a number. What is the most money you've ever made in this company in one month? Seven grand. Seven thousand.

[Caller/Listener]

Damn high. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[JD]

You're making cash.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

Wow.

[DJ Pre K]

I hope the IRS is listening.

[Uncle Norman]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, the. Joe you know. Right. Shut up, Joe. Okay, so. So when you don't show up to work and you don't call in and you just. No show what the hell is going on? Because I can only cover for you so many times because Lieutenant Dan has a book of business that he has to manage and you're part of it. And when you just don't show up, I mean, this happened about seven times in the past year, maybe 10. How many times, Charlie?

[DJ Pre K]

Too often.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so, Joe, it's your turn.

[DJ Pre K]

Well, here on the stand, I'd like. I'd just like to say that I did get a big spanking recently. You are absolutely founded. I was put off unpaid to leave about a week. And since then I have not missed a full day. I have missed the morning and, and made it in. In the afternoon twice since then. So I agree with you, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, stop. What is going on in your life? Where you listening to the deal with Robert this morning was is it the same thing? What's happening?

[DJ Pre K]

I got a baby sister that's 21 years old dying of leukemia.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm aware.

[DJ Pre K]

And she is getting worse, not better. And so the more at that situation proceeds, the harder it is for me to call sober and, and do the right thing, which I know I need to do despite anything going on in my personal life.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have to unplug her? Is it like that bad? No, no.

[DJ Pre K]

But some test results coming back saying it's. It's not getting better has put her in a, you know, very bad. And we talk a lot. Even, you know, just about three nights ago, we stayed on the phone till about 4:00am you know, and I can't protect her from it, so I can't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Protect you from Lieutenant Dan. Now, I'm not trying to be cold hearted because I've talked to you about your sister and I lost a sister when she was 21. I get it, dude, I get it. But that decision that you're making the next morning, because I think, Lieutenant Dan, I think I'm going to go ahead and call you out on this, bud. I think you just threw the big blocker in front of me to protect yourself where I can't get around it. I'm gonna take your sister in the situation and have a heart and put that on the shelf for a minute because that ain't what the deal is here. That's part of it, but that's not what's going on. So let's forget the sister for a moment and get back to you. You're going out and getting s faced and not showing up for work.

[Bobbo]

That's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so Maybe the sister situation is causing it. I'll buy that. That. What are you drinking?

[DJ Pre K]

Hard alcohol, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like what flavor? Whatever's clever. Okay. And how many nights a week?

[DJ Pre K]

It got real bad before I was put in time out. And so, you know, right now, you know, probably. Well, last night, so. Yeah, pretty frequently.

[John Clay Wolf]

How am I supposed to manage this place if I'm letting you do this? Really put yourself in my shoes.

[JD]

And also one little side. People face this and show up to work. So I'm putting it back on you as a point.

[John Clay Wolf]

So if you call. I don't know, I mean, so every night. Okay. So you gotta. You got. You gotta. So let's go through. See, we leave here at 6. You go to dinner, you have a beer at the restaurant. Do you. Do you cook for yourself or do you go to a bar or what?

[DJ Pre K]

Man, I'm at home drinking, John. I'm not.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not fun.

[DJ Pre K]

It's not. It's not one of those things where I'm out having a great time doing it. It's more of a. You know, I live alone in an apartment. So, you know, I just. Just try to keep it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have a gym membership?

[DJ Pre K]

No, I do not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, that sounds real corny, but I'm with you on this because I drink beer out of boredom too. And I'm so stressed out during the day. I found myself. I love, love being Norm at Cheers and sitting at a bar and having three. You know, it started with two big ones and then three and then four and really, four big ones is like a sixer. And I'm not getting wasted, but it's turned into a habit. So I'm trying to figure out what I can do in my evenings.

[DJ Pre K]

Besides that, I need to get some help.

[JD]

John.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know if you need help or just. Again, you're victimizing yourself so fast. So fast. I mean, I'm not. I'm not bleeding for you.

[DJ Pre K]

These are my decisions, and I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I'm trying to give you some help. You need to find out. You. You need get a gym membership. If you care. Hang out. You like girls. There's pretty girls at the gym. Hang out there, Start working out, get into that. Maybe that could help golf and. You're single, you're bored, you don't have a girl. I get it. It's boring as hell. But. But sitting there with a bottle of hard booze. I mean, there's one thing worse than being single and bored. Single, bored and broke. Being broke really sucks. It sucks worse than Any situation you have, and you're making enough money that you're not getting broke, but you're fixing to get your ass broke because you go to the next place and they're gonna put up with it. I'm too damn nice. And if a guy's producing for me, I'll give some leeway. And you do. And you've come a long way and we've trained you a lot and taught talk to you a lot, but I'm. I'm giving you the. The as. I think it was a. It was a album cover. Name of the band we're listening to. It's called Fair Warning by Van Halen. You might want to listen to that because this is a fair warning. We like you. We don't want to lose you. But I cannot keep everyone else in check if I'm letting you show up middays or skip days. Can't do it. And Biggs. Biggs is going to. Biggs. Biggs is going to have five buyers and he can't have four and a half. Even though sometimes you pull it off and produce as much would be in half. And that's that. That. That's a problem too is you're so talented that you're getting a lot. You're producing the numbers on. On half speed that others are in full. So it just. So I.

[DJ Pre K]

And you have all the talent world. Like, I've been in the buyer's office all the time. So I see you do have all the talent. If you need something to do, pick a hobby. I know you like singing, Correct? You were in a band at one time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to a bar, get a beer, sing. Yes.

[DJ Pre K]

No, write music.

[John Clay Wolf]

Write music. Seriously.

[DJ Pre K]

That's a great escape. And it takes up all your time.

[Bobbo]

It really can be. I'd say come hang at my place, but there will be pops.

[DJ Pre K]

Hey, DJ Pre K. You guys can do a collabo. No, he.

[John Clay Wolf]

He could produce music.

[DJ Pre K]

Seriously, I'm not joking. We've actually been talking about that recently.

[John Clay Wolf]

So get into something. I don't think you're an alcoholic. I think you're bored. Yeah. And you're sad with your sister. Yeah. But. But it is affecting your work to the point. And people call in too. We're going to do the vote again. Keep Rob, because this is a different situation. Y' all heard the situation. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

[DJ Pre K]

Keep Joe.

[John Clay Wolf]

Give him. Give him another chance. Our our are sending him down the road because his boss is telling me to send him down the road. And there's a point that I need to support the guy that I picked to manage you.

[DJ Pre K]

This is no joke.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm the, I'm the head coach, but I have linebacker coaches, quarterback coaches, receiver coaches, and this, this receiver coach is telling me he don't want him on the field anymore. So. So you've heard it from the head coach now and we're fixing to hear it from the listeners. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4, 800. This is Downer. Everybody's like, wow.

[JD]

Everybody's done with this though.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is a little more of an ass chewing session than with Robert. Yep.

[DJ Pre K]

Because he's young. Joe's young here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right? Joe, how old are you? 20.

[Robert]

20.

[John Clay Wolf]

26.

[Caller/Listener]

26.

[John Clay Wolf]

26. Okay. And let's take it a step further. You come from nothing, right? Whatever.

[DJ Pre K]

Nothing is South Dallas Oak Live.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. Okay. So you got an opportunity here. Here with one of the hottest startups in the United States that you guys don't even realize where you are yet, but you will soon enough and you're on the ground floor of it. So we're going to grow so fast. I'm going to have to reach to people that I trust to be the next team leader, to be the next this, to be the next coach, to be the next trainer. And you have the talent to do that. And you, you've got an ability to be something here.

[DJ Pre K]

I want to be a leader for you, John. I know that's what you need from me. I just got to get out of my own way.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna take a couple calls. Good morning, you're on the air.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey. I want to tell you that from hearing all the stuff that you've gone through in the past with the rim guy and everything else, man, you, you are a very, very gracious boss. I mean there's no way if one of these individuals work for me that.

[JD]

They would get away with tolerant, very talent.

[DJ Pre K]

Well, the rim guy's gone.

[John Clay Wolf]

The rim job is gone. But I hear you. But I'll tell you what part of it is, is we're, we're, we're a bottle rocket, right? The, the, the a rocket. This thing's growing so fast, I'm having to hang on and grab. It's real easy to fire people. That's the easiest thing in the world. But when you fire people, it costs you money and you got to retrain them and they're going to make a bunch of rookie ass mistakes. It's going to cost, cost you a lot of Money. And I'm a businessman on top of it. And I don't want to blow a bunch of money on stupidity when I can save it.

[Caller/Listener]

Now, I totally agree with you right there. And that's why with the other guy, you know, if they're good hands, man, it's hard to let somebody go. And the other thing I would say, man, I would demote his butt so quick, it wouldn't even be funny. And the same way with this guy, he needs to be shocked into reality. But if they're good hands, man, you can't get rid of them.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're trying to save it. We're trying to save it. My name is John Clay. We'll be back in just a minute.

[GiveMeTheVin 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]

Destiny, Bob. That's what it is. Destiny. 1978, the Jacksons got back together. Or maybe it's their last song together. What year was off the Wall?

[Bobbo]

Off the Wall was like 81. I think Thriller was 83.

[John Clay Wolf]

This sounds like off the Wall.

[Bobbo]

Yes, it does.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Sounds like it could have been on.

[JD]

It was 1979. Off the wall came out.

[John Clay Wolf]

So this was probably a track that he did during that period.

[JD]

This is actually on that album.

[John Clay Wolf]

He gave it to his brothers.

[Uncle Norman]

He was black at that time, isn't it?

[DJ Pre K]

Yes, he was black at that time.

[Bobbo]

El Diablo nigga.

[JD]

That's where he's wearing the tuxedo in front of the brick wall.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nick and Lafayette, good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Morning. I wanted to chime in on the Joe situation.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Caller/Listener]

I would say, you know, I. I get his. His. His sister. But I say you should keep him because he is pulling in the numbers. But give him a ultimatum saying, one more time and you're gone.

[John Clay Wolf]

Fair enough. What business you in?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm sorry?

[John Clay Wolf]

What business? What line of work do you. What. What. What do you do for a living?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm a contractor. It.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you deal with this?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I mean, I've. I've. And I've been in. I've had that happen to me in previous jobs years ago, and I had learned the lesson the hard way.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotcha. All right, good advice. Mike in Houston. Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, what's going on, John? Hey, first question. How. How old is Joe?

[John Clay Wolf]

27, 26.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, so. He's just a kid, John. He's heartbroken right now. I've dealt with this, too. I lost my wife to leukemia on Christmas Day of 2017. So I completely understand what he's going through. If he's producing the numbers and he's a good kid, take care of him. But in the same sense, Joe, it sounds like John's a leader, not a boss. So because of that, you got to take care of him as well and do the right thing by him.

[John Clay Wolf]

Appreciate that, Joe. All right, Good, Good Advice. Thanks, Mike. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. We've had a lot of interaction with.

[JD]

Our audience a lot today. It really has been fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

Logan and Conroe an 08F150XLT with a buck 22 four wheel drive crew cab is leather, cloth, cloth. Average rough or clean?

[Caller/Listener]

Clean.

[John Clay Wolf]

7,000. All right, thanks to 75, maybe 8. Go to givemetheven.com we'll see some pictures. Rush Limbaugh, what do you think about Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5?

[Bobbo]

I'll tell you, I'll be honest, John. Those Jacksons always made me a little nervous.

[JD]

Why? Why?

[Bobbo]

Most of the rhythm and blues music I found just kind of gets me a little off kilter.

[JD]

You call that rhythm and blues?

[Bobbo]

You know what I mean? I grew up with Waylon.

[JD]

Waylon, Willie, Willie.

[Bobbo]

Pat Boone artist who could carry a melody on purpose. And that Michael could sing. But the dancing and look. Did you ever notice he seems to have ridden that rainbow from original black.

[JD]

Yes.

[Bobbo]

All the way over to about 2/3 Caucasian by the end of his life.

[JD]

Everybody knows that. Yes.

[Bobbo]

And I think half his nose looked melted off or something. Huh?

[JD]

He did a lot of surgery and a lot of skin bleaching.

[Bobbo]

Kind of Diana Ross complex, maybe.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did you think about his sister in the rhythm Nation era? With that body?

[Bobbo]

I apologize, I've never heard of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, that was a transformation from Jesus.

[Bobbo]

I mean, I know about Ann. Murray. Was there. Was there a girl?

[John Clay Wolf]

Jackson and Murray, Janet, who was on Different Strokes. Wow.

[Bobbo]

Different Strokes? What. What is that?

[John Clay Wolf]

She coined the BBW movement.

[Bobbo]

I was like a. Like a black Happy Days.

[JD]

Exactly.

[Bobbo]

Nothing against the show. Look, I haven't seen it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, hang on just a second. I want to get something straight. Rush Limbaugh, DJ Prek. When you put the comment up and I see it, I need them on hold. There's nothing else you'll need to talk about. You got what you needed? Okay, go ahead. Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

What's going down, y'? All?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, so. So there's a rhythm to this show that we follow. When I see those cues and I see this Guy I want to grab him when I'm going there. And you still got it. Why don't you have him on hold?

[DJ Pre K]

Man, I'm just making sure, you know, I know that. Know the story that. Got to hear the story to make sure you get the right info, you know?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Steve Miller band show. Pop for weed. Okay, hold on.

[Bobbo]

I think. Can I intercept something here? Yes, I think I. I'm pretty sure. And I know nobody likes narc. I think I saw Pre K with a. A brown paper sack that looked natty, like tall boys sized and shaped. I think he's maybe on the side. You may have to do a little intervention.

[DJ Pre K]

Well, you know, you close. It's an old English tall can.

[John Clay Wolf]

Paul, good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller/Listener]

Paul, hello, you there?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. How are you? You're on the air.

[Caller/Listener]

Pretty good. You're talking about the pot smoking at the concert?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Caller/Listener]

Me and my girlfriend went to a Steve Miller band concert, the Woodlands. And this guy in front of us probably saved all his money for years. And he had a piece of a joint and a cop tapped him on the shoulder and took him off in handcuffs.

[Uncle Norman]

Really?

[Caller/Listener]

Right in front of us.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it does happen.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. That sucked. I felt bad for him.

[Bobbo]

I feel bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

Smokers beware. It can happen. Now we know. Because I've never seen that.

[Uncle Norman]

I never have ever where this water's coming down to.

[JD]

But I got.

[John Clay Wolf]

I thought it was like going 65 and a 60.

[Bobbo]

Well, you know those big amphitheaters. The Woodlands and Starplex is the same thing. Like they are. The reserve seating is a totally, totally, totally different scene than the lawn.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

You know what I mean? Have you ever seen a concert from the lawn?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Bobbo]

One of those places. You know what I'm talking about?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

I've been to 100 concerts. I've seen Ozzy.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Bobbo]

I've seen ACDC. You know who the most craziest drugged out concert crowd was that I ever saw? Steely Dan on the lawn at Jimmy Buffett.

[JD]

I was gonna say that, but I didn't want to interrupt you.

[Bobbo]

I'm telling you, my friend Patty o' Day bought like six tabs of acid.

[JD]

So true.

[Bobbo]

There are women in grass skirts and big inflatable hats. Crazy.

[JD]

And they've been doing it since Thursday when the show is Saturday night.

[Bobbo]

They've been tailgating.

[JD]

They've been there since third. People. Absolutely. Start partying Thursday in the parking lots for a Saturday night show rush.

[John Clay Wolf]

We got to get to your story real quick.

[Bobbo]

I'll Tell you, I'm glad to say I'm finally having a really good no work Saturday. I don't know if you're aware of this, but surely you know about the new thing for post Cinco de Mayo.

[JD]

What's that?

[Bobbo]

We're now officially seven days into margarita season. Were you aware of this?

[JD]

I wasn't aware there's a.

[John Clay Wolf]

But look, I didn't know.

[Bobbo]

Surely you know by now I'm generally a bourbon man.

[JD]

You are?

[Bobbo]

Bourbon. I found it accentuates my Percocet glow just perfectly.

[JD]

It's a good blend.

[Bobbo]

I was talking to my friend Jimmy Buffett.

[JD]

Jimmy?

[Bobbo]

You know him?

[JD]

I do know Jimmy, yes.

[Bobbo]

He's very knowledgeable. I actually had Jimmy over with a few friends last Sunday.

[JD]

Yeah. He lives in Florida.

[Bobbo]

And I learned a lot about margaritas. I've come to find out I've been making them incorrectly.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really?

[JD]

How's that?

[Bobbo]

It's true that I L. Rushbowl, like many Americans, have always used a premixed margarita mix.

[JD]

Right.

[Bobbo]

With a little tequila and ice on a salted fufu glass.

[JD]

Sounds perfect.

[Bobbo]

And a big shocker here. That's wrong.

[JD]

How is that wrong?

[Bobbo]

According to Jimmy, and this is straight from the.

[JD]

Yeah, literally.

[Bobbo]

The patron saint of the parrot heads.

[JD]

It is indeed.

[Bobbo]

The best way to put a margarita together is to take about 16 ounces of pure Patron tequila.

[JD]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

Stick it in an electric blender.

[JD]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

With a single squeezed lime.

[JD]

All right.

[Bobbo]

Just a dab of rose's lime juice.

[JD]

Perfect.

[Bobbo]

And a little salt.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, that's it.

[Bobbo]

And two or three Vicodins.

[JD]

No.

[Bobbo]

And voila.

[JD]

Jimmy did not say that it was.

[Bobbo]

Whips up into a very nice little brain blitzer of a cocktail. Hey, if it's good enough for Buffett, it's hot. And I know what you're thinking.

[JD]

I know what you're thinking.

[Bobbo]

Those Vicodins, I'm thinking lawsuit. And really most quality pain medication has been going through the roof, price wise.

[JD]

But I should know you've got money.

[Bobbo]

Luckily, our esteemed president, Donald J. Trump has announced that our Republican Congress is. Is working on a new pharmaceutical bill that'll bring those prices down. And by and large, I believe that Republicans can handle their opioid medications in moderation. But your typical bleeding heart, Hillary loving, douchebag liberal.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[Bobbo]

I can tell you right now, they're gonna overdo it. Once these things are available and inexpensive, they're going to overdo it.

[JD]

The Democrats only.

[Bobbo]

And that's how we're going to swing these midterm elections.

[JD]

Oh, that's good. You're going to dope them up.

[Bobbo]

Worry not. It's all in the political game here at the excellence in broadcasting network. You are amazing talent on loan from God.

[JD]

Do not make your margaritas like that will be. We break in DJ.

[John Clay Wolf]

Black, White, Latino or other. I want you go and set the stage for it. And when we come back from the break, we'll answer it. It's time for your favorite game show.

[Bobbo]

You are now about to strength of street knowledge.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah. Today on White, Black, Latino or other, everybody's favorite game show. Where I read a story and y' all guess the ethnicity. We got a. Well, I got a little background on this guy. We got a man out in Cleveland that robbed a bank back in November 2015. And of course, his dumbass got locked up and he served 30 minutes, months, and then was released to get a fresh start because, you know, the world is yours after getting out the pen. But it looks like this guy just couldn't leave the game alone because he went to the exact same bank he robbed the day after he was released from prison for his previous robbery. And he ran up in the bank and stuck him up for just over a thousand dollars. So the cops caught him and said, hey, you look familiar. So they locked him up 1 mo again for bank robbery. So what y' all think, man? White, black, Latino or other?

[John Clay Wolf]

We will cover that when we come back here in just a minute in a GTR spec, man. Are you there?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

How many miles are on your GTR?

[Caller/Listener]

I call it 16,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. It's 2011.

[Caller/Listener]

Eight miles away.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it geeked out or is it stock?

[Caller/Listener]

No, it's stock, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

It's premium.

[John Clay Wolf]

Premium stuff. All right, I'm gonna. When we come back, I'm going to get you, and then we're going to do black, White, Latino, rather. My name is John Clay Wolf. I buy cars on the radio.

[GiveMeTheVin Announcer]

Givemethe vin.com presents the John Clay Wolf show. We'll be right back after this. And now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by GiveMeThe Vin.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

There are stars in the southern sky Southward as you go.

[Caller/Listener]

There is.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's moonlight and moss in the trees down the seven.

[Caller/Listener]

Bridges Ro.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. I couldn't step on that.

[JD]

Dang, they can ruin it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lucas and Odessa, good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

What's up, man?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. What is a spec V?

[Caller/Listener]

You know how Ford came out with the. With the black ops version of all their vehicles of their F150s and stuff like that? F250s and yes, that's what they did. That's kind of what GTR did.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, there's a black package. There's a black. I had a white car that was a black package the other day. But this is a specific V. Is it the same thing?

[Caller/Listener]

I mean, I guess that's what it is on paperwork. It's a spec V. It's, but that's what it is. It's a black package, I guess. Black wheels, black, black interior, black everything.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. It's an 11 GTR with 15,000 miles. 16,000 miles. I'm gonna assume that it's got a clean carfax and it's gorgeous. Is this, is this a good assumption?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Great. Miles. Does 55 grand buy it?

[Caller/Listener]

Not quite.

[John Clay Wolf]

It should. Let me, let me straighten you out. Are you sure? Because I just cocked off pretty hard for a guy that's willing to write a check.

[Caller/Listener]

Well, I was looking more at like 65 is what I was talking looking at.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a seven year old Nissan GTR. It looks the same as the 08s and the 09s. I, I think I'm all over it.

[Caller/Listener]

I wanted the facelift one, but you know, this one was the only one that was really available.

[John Clay Wolf]

I understand, but that, that, that's a value proposition and that I, I, I'm do this. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up. Let's take a look at pictures. But I think I threw all the wood at it. I think I hit it right in the head.

[Caller/Listener]

How much did you get that white GTR for?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't even remember, man. We buy some. I'm not trying to be a smart ass. We buy so many cars. I have no idea.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, man, you lost it. You lost me on that one, man. Good try, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you talking about?

[DJ Pre K]

He's not asking how much. I was way under that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I could tell. I have no idea. I did. Lucas, Lucas, Lucas. We bid 300 cars a day. We buy 300 cars a week. I have no freaking idea.

[Caller/Listener]

I remember the car, but not the price. Oh, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I just, I mean, I sold it. I remember, I remember there was a, there was an 09 black one in a 2011 white one right in front of each other.

[Uncle Norman]

50.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did it bring 50 or 55? The miles were like 30 though, not 16, I think. I think it was in the mid-50s. I just don't remember.

[Uncle Norman]

You're right.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, man. It's my baby. I'm giving up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I mean, it's my money I'm giving up here. I mean, it's. You know, I'm the one that's got to count them down 100, 255,000 times. That's a lot of money. So remember, if you go to Craigslist, I want to sell it on Craigslist. Everybody that I know that's tried to sell a car on craigslist has been raped and thrown in the trunk.

[JD]

Every single one.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, man. Well, I have. I haven't tried carmax yet. They said they beat y' all every time, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, they don't. Lucas, you definitely have the b. The gift of BS now, who pushed the button here? Because. Because, first of all, I don't even know if there is a CarMax. Nodessa. Is there?

[JD]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

No, no.

[DJ Pre K]

He's just trying to push your.

[JD]

Hey, do you need a job as a buyer? Because there may be an opening here. You're good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you an alcoholic? Because they seem to. They seem to be good buyers.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Uncle Norman]

That's good for the application. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

The next question is, do you even own the car?

[JD]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Anyway, prove that you own it. Go to givethevin.com and load it up. We want to buy it, and we're trying, but. But we've got a deal in reality. Yeah. In. In the oil field. Wow. 800-800-7234. Wait. Show me again. 800-800-Radio. White, black, Latino or other is where we were.

[Bobbo]

Right.

[JD]

Before we do that, I'm gonna hit the bash one more time. The John Clay Wolf givemetheven.com Bo and Jim Bash coming up. It's June 10th, it's a Sunday, and you can get some very special John Clee Wolf show T shirts. You do have to go to the website right now. John claywolf.com and register for Oklahoma City listeners.

[DJ Pre K]

Wichita, Florida.

[JD]

They're gonna come down.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, come on down.

[JD]

People come up from Houston. They come down from Oklahoma City's not too far either. Right. This is at the Toyota Music factory in Irving, Texas, right in the middle of Dallas, Fort Worth. So come on down. Come on up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yo, yo, yo, dj.

[DJ Pre K]

Yo, yo, yo, what up?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so I'll. I'll refresh the question real quick. The situation. Homeboy in Cleveland, right. Robs the bank, goes to jail.

[DJ Pre K]

Yup.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gets out of jail, goes right back the same bank. Rob's again. Gets thousand dollars. Cops arrest him, say, you look familiar. Put his ass back in jail.

[DJ Pre K]

On point.

[John Clay Wolf]

Question is, is he white? Is he black? Is he a Latino? Or is he an other race that, you know, there's. There's a lot of different races in the world.

[DJ Pre K]

That's the question.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why is this important? It's not. It's not. It's not important at all. It's just fun. It's fun to listen to a. All of our stupid stereotypes that we put together with different behaviors. So let's keep it going. Why stop now, right? All right. White, black, latino or other. J.D. ryan.

[JD]

I'm gonna go with white. Sounds like a white guy. Probably a tweaker.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I'm gonna go with.

[JD]

I forgot what he did.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cleveland.

[JD]

I've been in this.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna go with a black guy. Just because when I think of Cleveland, I think of Rust Belt. I think of factory workers, I think of Detroit, Michigan. A large block population that's suppressed, that acts out because they're more suppressed than in other areas. Stupid stereotypes. Is that true or not? I have no idea. I'm just going by what I was raised. Looking at the damn media. Go ahead, Bob. What's your.

[Bobbo]

You think he's a dog pound man?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

This feels like an Italian thing to me.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's other. But I'm like. That all makes sense, too.

[Bobbo]

Perseverance.

[DJ Pre K]

Okay, Turley, I'm gonna go with, like, a Cheech and Chong type of duo type of guy.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

Stoner, stoned out Hispanic.

[JD]

Didn't know he did that before.

[John Clay Wolf]

There we go.

[Robert]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

What?

[DJ Pre K]

Norman, what? You don't think Norman.

[John Clay Wolf]

Norman, the Puerto Rican. What do you think?

[Uncle Norman]

Hispanic. He deserved to get shot.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, Norman, what's your call?

[JD]

Michael?

[Uncle Norman]

I don't know. I think it's black.

[JD]

I'm sorry. Sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sorry. DJ Prek. You are a white black guy, huh? Show enough. Well, I can't ask you because you already know the answer.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so what is. What is the answer?

[DJ Pre K]

Well, John Norman, y' all on point, man. It's a Mariko, Sonny Lewis, a black man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cleveland.

[Uncle Norman]

Got it all together.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm just going from that. From that. We're just, like, watching. Watching Good Times and watching. What was that show as a kid with the projects?

[Bobbo]

What? What's happening?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, is that Good Times? No, it's good times. Hey, hey, hey, hey. What? Mabel and D and jj.

[Bobbo]

That's my mama.

[JD]

That's Good Times.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, jj.

[JD]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

Just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just that whole area of the Rust Belt. I just think of that when. When just just the projects in a rough, hard, suppressed life.

[JD]

I don't care who it is. I bet 100% bucks he never. He didn't think he'd ever been in that bank before.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think he was wasted.

[JD]

Stupid and wasted. Yeah, no matter what color.

[John Clay Wolf]

So if a show like Good Times aired today in a new rendition, would everybody freak out?

[JD]

I don't.

[DJ Pre K]

No, I don't think so.

[Bobbo]

Now I keep hearing about a program called this is Us, and I haven't seen it.

[DJ Pre K]

That's not the same thing.

[Bobbo]

Is it not?

[John Clay Wolf]

There's so many programs now, I don't even know. I mean, back when TV was TV and there were four real channels and two studios. Stupid channels. Actually, there were three real channels and one half ass channel and two stupid channels, you had real shows that you would watch. Now, now it's. It's. It's like podcasts or something. I mean, they're just everywhere. Where do they get the money to produce all these shows? And who the hell is watching them? Real good question.

[JD]

Because you have such a diversified audience, how does any one show get enough people to get the sponsorship to pay for this stuff? You got Kevin Spacey each cheap. Maybe he is now, but he wasn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Norman, what do you watch? Do you watch any television?

[Uncle Norman]

Yes, I do. I do watch some television. Hey, but I like more retro stuff. I like to watch from the 60s. The Twilight song. Yeah, I like that.

[JD]

Me TV. You should watch me. He knows what it is.

[Uncle Norman]

And then I do like the HBO too. So I am. I paid the $50 every month for it. That's not that hot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have Netflix? Netflix, Yes, I do. Do you have any shows that you're into right now?

[Uncle Norman]

Well, I was watching this show. I watched the Punisher the first season. I'm waiting for the second one. And what other show that I like have you watched?

[John Clay Wolf]

Breaking Bad. Oh, yeah.

[Uncle Norman]

Breaking Bad. Entrepreneur people. Yes, I like that. Oh, and by the way, I'm watching the. In a spin off this Call Call Soul.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah.

[Uncle Norman]

Yes, I like that. I like that.

[JD]

I like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I haven't watched the Late. Is there a new season that's out yet?

[Bobbo]

Not yet.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. It has not started. So have they done two or three? I forgot.

[Bobbo]

I think they've had three. The new one is they used to do it as a summertime series. This year they're waiting until September to start it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It got good that last season when the. When the Drugs and the Border and all that came in. And Mike's coming out. Yeah. Now it's Breaking Bad Parts two or three, but is wonderful. Same producers, same guy.

[Bobbo]

What's the name of the guy that owns the chicken restaurant?

[John Clay Wolf]

Gus.

[Bobbo]

Gus was on last week's episode of Westworld on hbo. Really?

[JD]

Yeah, he died.

[Bobbo]

Not the character, the actor.

[John Clay Wolf]

But they ended Breaking Bad with Baby Blue by Bad Finger.

[JD]

Yes, they did, and that was awesome.

[Bobbo]

In the last few episodes, they did a lot of that. Did Crystal Blue Persuasion. You know, a lot of. Lot of blue songs in there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on. Evelyn from Houston's back. Evelyn, are you there?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, I'm here.

[John Clay Wolf]

You called earlier, right?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, I did.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I hit your car at 7500 just off the cuff. And I see the note now. It said Carmax is 8,000. Is that correct?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Take a picture of that offer letter. Go to givemetheven.com, load it up, take a picture of that offer letter and send it to us. And if we don't beat the 8,000, we'll send you a check for. For $100.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, great.

[John Clay Wolf]

Fair enough.

[Caller/Listener]

I just go on to the website and upload a picture.

[John Clay Wolf]

Take a picture of the offer letter and take a picture of the car while you're at it. If you remember when you and I were speaking earlier, the reason I backed up a little bit is because I was asking you what model it was and you weren't sure.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, no, I was reading it off of the. My paperwork from Nissan when I did my tune up two weeks ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

I hear you and I'm not beating on you, but I wasn't sure either. So. It's hard to properly bid one when you don't know exactly what it is. But that offer letter that you got there at CarMax will tell me exactly what it is, and that will help me tremendously. And if I don't beat it, I'll send you a check for a hundred dollars. You have my word on it.

[Caller/Listener]

All right, perfect.

[JD]

Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Give me the vin.com. let's.

Did I tell you about the California stuff?

[JD]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

[JD]

What? Really?

[Uncle Norman]

Yeah.

[JD]

When does that start?

[John Clay Wolf]

[Uncle Norman]

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know if I'll be ready.

[JD]

I won't be here, but okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, you'll be.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, you're gonna be off.

[JD]

Going to be vacation. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's going to be a lot of work, guys. That's a on me more than anyone. I. I don't know, Norman. Have you ever been out there?

[Uncle Norman]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Never?

[Bobbo]

Never.

[John Clay Wolf]

When we start the H, we'll see the. There's a lot of moving parts, but it had to start with. Here we go. We have a deal. So now we're going to get with it. All right, thanks, everybody. See you later.
