Episode Overview

This hour of The John Clay Wolfe Show dives deep into the chaos of car dealership life—primarily the nightmare of unexpected toll bills from North Texas transit authorities—then veers into spirited debates over Super Bowl post-game etiquette, the questionable future of certain car brands, and takes live calls for rapid-fire vehicle appraisals. The show keeps its irreverent, fast-talking tone throughout, with regular jabs, inside jokes, and a “men behaving badly” vibe.

Key Topics & Highlights

1. Toll Road Invoice Fiasco

[00:42-04:36, 14:34-16:49]

• Michael Turley shares a stack of 50+ toll invoices, totaling around $4,000, primarily due to temporary tags on cars they've sold.
• The group breaks down the absurdity of tolling agencies, how paper tags keep racking up bills after cars change hands, and the uncertainty about how responsible one actually is for these running amounts.
• Quote:
  “$3,800 is just ballpark. And I mean, hell, there may be a $400 one in there.” — Michael Turley [03:09]
• They play “guess the highest invoice” and discover one is $521, leading to complaints about North Texas tolls, Houston’s worse system, and how fees balloon if not paid immediately.
• Legal aspects discussed: habitually unpaid tolls can lead to vehicle registration blocks (per Texas law), but it’s not a moving violation.

---

2. Car Trade-In Calls & Appraisals (with Listeners)

[10:30-13:40, 46:06-49:55]

---

3. Comedy, Jingles & Listener Banter

[07:20-10:28, 17:22-21:02]

• Bobbo Baba presents the new, hilariously corny “Sell us your car…so easy you can do it in your underwear!” GiveMeTheVIN jingle.
• On-air banter about writing jingles, past cheesy ad tunes, and Barry Manilow.
• JD plays audio of a raging Southern woman’s McRib tirade (viral clip).

4. The Top Ten List: Peyton Manning’s Retirement Plans

• Bobbo brags about juggling multiple long-distance ladies, considers ordering guitars as gifts.
• Quote:
  “You are so screwed. And I don’t mean in a good way.” — John Clay Wolfe to Turley re: Snuggie gift [28:55]
  “How many hoes you running?” — Michael Turley to Bobbo [31:31]

---

7. Market Timing: Tax Refund Car Season

[32:28-33:54]

• Used car market spikes during tax refund season; many “buy here, pay here” customers use their checks for down-payments, leading to constant cycles of short-term ownership and repossessions.

---

[Michael Turley]

There you go. That's good, Bob. I like that. So, JD Yesterday in the mail. Yesterday in the mail from the North Texas Transit Authority, the toll tag company. I got this.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh my God. Oh, my God.

[Michael Turley]

Look at the stack of. God, have you not seen this yet, Turley? So these are invoices from the national toll transit.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Two handfuls of north letters, A$40. North Texas Transit Authority.

[Bobbo Baba]

Okay, so what's the typical price point on.

[Michael Turley]

Let's look at. So I've got how many, how many invoices here?

[John Clay Wolfe]

It looks like they're outgoing mail.

[Bobbo Baba]

And this is 22, 90.

[Michael Turley]

$22.

[John Clay Wolfe]

One of them.

[Michael Turley]

Lord, this is one.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Do you have a tag?

[Michael Turley]

Well, here's the problem is the temporary tags that we put on cars, right? They've been racking up tolls and they. These are all within the past year.

[Caller]

We.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Look, they're reading the plate.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, but they, they couldn't figure out who they belong to. Wait, just the past year like we did?

[JD]

No, we.

[Michael Turley]

We pay our tags all the time. We pay about 300 month in tolls.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay.

[Michael Turley]

But then we get this supplemental bill that we weren't expecting. This one's 55, 19. Okay, so the average invoice right now is in the mid-30s.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Mid-30s.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, we have 50 of these. Let's look at the next one. 12, 10. So now we're down to 20. 79.80. We're back up to an average of about. About $42. Just rough math.

[John Clay Wolfe]

115.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, so now we're up to about 70 on average. Oh, 200.

[JD]

Oh, you're kidding.

[Michael Turley]

191.59.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, my God, dude.

[JD]

Going up 100 bucks.

[Michael Turley]

Almost 138. Okay, so here's how many we've got. 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. So we have 700 worth of invoices here. And we have 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 34, 56. About 30 more.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

So $3,700.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, cool. Hey, cut a check for that real quick. What in the world is I. I'm going to argue. I'm gonna argue. I don't know what this is.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, my Lord.

[Bobbo Baba]

That's the George Bush Turnpike is what it is, man. George Bush Expressway.

[Michael Turley]

If you hate the tolling agencies, call in and share your story, because I think I win. $3,800 is just ballpark. And I mean, hell, there may be A$400.

[JD]

Where's the money going to?

[Michael Turley]

Because that. These are mine.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't know, because they come back to your paper tag.

[Michael Turley]

But I've got a gazillion of them when I put these cars out.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's why.

[Michael Turley]

But they're not mine anymore. They're sold.

[JD]

They're sold.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, they're being made. But the only way they can track it is that tag. And it still has your paper tag on it. Remember? Even when you sold me a car for a few days, I drove around with a paper tag. You got a bill.

[Bobbo Baba]

We need to go an alternate route.

[Michael Turley]

We need to call our good lawyer at Lubell Voyles and get his take on this. Do we keep him in?

[JD]

Hell, yeah. He'd take care of it.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, is it like a speeding ticket? Can you just get it taken care of?

[John Clay Wolfe]

NTTA is very flexible. They will deal with you, okay? They'd rather deal with you than have you just blow it off.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, I get 500 because.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Because it's not a moving. It's not moving violation. Because they can't prove who's driving the vehicle.

[Michael Turley]

Okay?

[John Clay Wolfe]

So it is. It will not go on your license. So they'd rather deal with you, is my point.

[Michael Turley]

If you want to have fun and later throughout the show, dig through the rest. I'm scared. I have a feeling that there's a 5 or $400 one in there.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, probably.

[JD]

Okay, well, here's my question. That highway's been paid for 10 times, right, Bush?

[Michael Turley]

Now we're talking north Texas in the state. They're all over Houston. In Houston is worse than that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, yeah. Oh. You can't go anywhere in Houston.

[JD]

Where's that money go to? Does it actually go to the state or to the.

[Michael Turley]

It's an investment. It's a private deal. It's like a parking lot downtown that really sell parking spaces. Yeah.

[JD]

So screw them then.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't think they can do anything, Really. I don't. I mean, didn't they arrest somebody for. For. I'll have to look that up.

[JD]

You know what? I do kind of remember a story. There's like. But it was like 20 grand, something like that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. What's the difference? It's 5 grand or 10 or 20.

[Bobbo Baba]

Dude, my dad would lose his mind on this deal.

[Michael Turley]

Well, we'll call him and get his opinion too. Jason wants to be talked to off air. Well, you're on air, Jason. What have you got? We're all friends here. We're all open. We're all open.

[Caller]

Oh, What?

[Michael Turley]

So. Oh, did you have a. You got. You got a heater problem with them?

[Caller]

No, the whole front end's gone. I bought 11 Sierra with 75,000 miles on it. I've put 7,000 on it. And I went to rotate my tires, and they won't even do an alignment for me because the front end is gone.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay.

[Michael Turley]

Here's what I know about those guys.

[Bobbo Baba]

[Michael Turley]

I worked with them for a long time, and I have. I still do a lot of business with them. I respect them. And I'm not just, you know, being I. Sometimes that's a big company, and they do have policies, but if you hang in there, you're gonna get in alignment. Get. Get to a manager and just say, hey, listen, dude, get my truck. Right? And they'll do it. I mean, they'll do it and send me an email, and I can send it to somebody. They'll do it. They're not a bad company to deal with. And I'm So if. Listen to me. I still sound like I'm support kissing their butt, but I'm not gonna throw somebody under the bus that. When I don't believe it's accurate. I'm not saying you didn't have a bad experience. Go to givemetheven.com. click email jcw. Send me a note and I'll get it in the right hands over there. I still know those guys.

[Michael Turley]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. And I'll say send them a bill for $500 like the toll tag company just sent me for that little plug.

[JD]

Time it is.

[Michael Turley]

No, I have no idea what time it is.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, really?

[JD]

Yes, it is. It's that time.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, let's see if I can go. Casey's also has his teeth worked on, by the way, so.

[JD]

That's amazing. The dead.

[Michael Turley]

Can you get that?

[JD]

That's weird.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, well, when he died, his teeth were a little bit weird. Let me go game. Hang on a minute.

[JD]

He's still that vain.

[Michael Turley]

Weird.

[Bobbo Baba]

What is on the top 10 list.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Today we're gonna do is the top 10 things Peyton Manning is going to do in his time off after he retires. Do we all agree he's probably going to retire? Top 10 things Peyton Manning is going to do in his time off. Number 10, devote more of his time to the honorary status in Taylor Swift's squad. He's a big hit. Number nine, finally campaign for Ted for President Newton, not Cruz. Admit he's more of a DiGiorno guy. That's number eight. Moving up to number seven things that Peyton Manning's gonna do. Finally grow the money mullet to make him hot. Number six. Two words for you, McRib. Binge. We're doing the top 10 things that Peyton Manning's gonna do with his time off now that he has more. Show Eli how to change his own flat tire again.

[JD]

Yeah, he doesn't need help.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Did you see the video of his brother watching him get that. Get that score, that touchdown?

[JD]

He didn't want that to happen.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He didn't look too happy. No.

[Bobbo Baba]

Just remember, two jeans shy.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Number four, adopt a new sleep scheme schedule of 18 hours a day. He calls it his Romo phase. Number three things that he's going to do now that he has some time off. Seriously consider that depends endorsement deal he's getting up there in the age big money. Top 10 things Peyton Manning is going to do in his time off as he retires. Bite the bullet and take that Windows 10 update.

[Bobbo Baba]

Somebody's got to do that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't know why that makes me laugh. Okay, I'm sorry. Back to Casey. Oh, thanks, J.D. number one. Finally drink that freaking bud. For God's sake, drink it, man. There's the top things Peyton Manning is going to do in his time off as he retires, keep your feet in the ground and keep reaching for the stars, man.

[JD]

Yeah, he did plug Bud big time with you. What was that about? He owns stock in Budweiser.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, that seems a little. What do you call that? Conflict of interest.

[JD]

I believe there may be. Yeah. Because the NFL won't let you have a sponsor for a Budweiser or anything because they're actually the sponsor of the whole NFL.

[Michael Turley]

Right.

[JD]

You can't have individuals. So instead he figured, ah, you know what? I'll plug it 10 times. I mean, he kept saying it over.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And over and over, but I don't see how you can get away with that. That's plug Ola payola. That's a federal offensive. We do it.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

If I get on the radio and say whatever, and I get paid for it. That's plugola.

[Bobbo Baba]

Well, no, because they asked him, though.

[JD]

Yeah. They asked him what he's gonna do.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You get to do that.

[JD]

You could just say, hey, I'm gonna go get a cold one.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Not specific drink, you know, that's okay. So. Hey. Hey, Baba. What are you driving home today? I'm gonna drive one of those amazing Lexus.

[Bobbo Baba]

The all new Ford F. Right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's called a commercial, I don't think.

[Bobbo Baba]

I mean, there are worse. First, there are worse companies you could be in bed with. Okay. As a professional athlete. And two, they asked him anyway.

[JD]

But the problem is he owns stock in that company.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Federal offense. More good. All right.

[Bobbo Baba]

I don't think that's a crime. It is a crime to feather your own nest.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, it is a crime. It's a federal feather.

[Michael Turley]

My ripple. What I like. That's an old NWA line.

[Bobbo Baba]

I like when you talk like that.

[Michael Turley]

Are you still going through my toll tax? Tiny big ones yet?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Not yet. They're all in the Hundreds.

[Michael Turley]

Land Rover LR3. Joe. Hey, Joe, what are you doing with that Land Rover in your hand? 06 Rover LR3 with 116.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Joe.

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[Michael Turley]

Average rough or clean.

[Caller]

How we clean?

[Michael Turley]

Color?

[Caller]

Black.

[Michael Turley]

Ah. Any check? Engine lights, brake light, abs, airbag, any dummy lights on at all?

[Caller]

No, sir.

[Michael Turley]

Okay. Anything?

[John Clay Wolfe]

What?

[Michael Turley]

What is wrong with it? What do I have to spend money on?

[Caller]

Probably a left rear crack, tail light for my wife hitting the shopping cart at the grocery store.

[Michael Turley]

Okay.

[Caller]

A couple of scratches on the handle from her diamond ring when she gets in the car.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay.

[Michael Turley]

That's all. Sounds like a good gal. Not do anything out of the ordinary. Is it a V8 or V6 or do you know?

[Caller]

V8.

[Michael Turley]

Okay. And it's got 116 and a grocery getter. Grocery getter. Is it a HSE or a SE?

[Caller]

It's a LR3.

[Michael Turley]

No, but there's two trim levels. There's the big one and the little one. I mean, the size is the same, but more equipment. Does it have dual sunroofs and navigation?

[Caller]

It doesn't have navigation.

[Michael Turley]

It's probably an se Then I'm gonna bid it. Does it say HSE on the tailgate? It doesn't matter.

[Caller]

No, it does not.

[Michael Turley]

It's a five grand rig.

[Caller]

Ouch.

[Michael Turley]

Isn't that amazing? Let's stop for a moment. How long have you had that car?

[Caller]

Oh, probably six years.

[Michael Turley]

And so you bought it used with 30,000 miles on it or 60,000 miles on it?

[Caller]

Yeah, I'd had about 65 or so.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, and you gave. Six years ago, you gave 20 grand for it.

[Caller]

A little more than that.

[Michael Turley]

A little more than that.

[Caller]

20. 24.

[Michael Turley]

24 grand. Okay. And think of the guy before you and he gave 50. 55. 50.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

So it's only depreciated $20,000 in six years. I mean this.

[Caller]

And that's awesome.

[Michael Turley]

It's awesome. It's incredible. These in full size Mercedes S bodies, the hardest appreciating. And this one isn't as bad, Joe, as a full size rover, the hsc. You know, the bigger ones, the, the Range Rover, they fall harder than that. And I don't get it. I don't understand it. Yeah, it's weird, but it's a five. I'm looking at a market report. I bought one for six a couple of days ago and it had, it was a HSE. Same mile, same. Everything in this one is an SE. If it's an HSC, I'm good at 6. If it's an SE, I'm 5 to 53.

[Caller]

Give me 6 for it and I'll trade it today.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, well, they go to givemetheven.com. put the VIN number in.

[Caller]

Okay.

[Michael Turley]

Put the pictures in. Say John, hit me at 5200. I'll take six and we will get working on it. Right now I have four guys downstairs that are doing nothing but working with guys like you. Just texting back and forth, emailing back and forth. We're not gonna bug you. We're just. Do the deal, but go.

[Caller]

Appreciate it.

[Michael Turley]

Yes, sir. Thank you. 800, 800. Seven two. Paid that man his money. 800, 800 radio.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Withdraw your zip cash. The lowest one is $8.39. But the winner is.

[Michael Turley]

Oh no, let's stop. Let's guess. So this is back to the. The random invoices we've got from the toll authority. Okay. And the highest one that I saw earlier was 190. So, Bob, what's your biggest one? That is your guess.

[Bobbo Baba]

My guess. I'll bet you've got something for about 261.

[Michael Turley]

261 on the prices, right, Turley?

[JD]

I'm going for 233.

[Michael Turley]

Okay. And I'm gonna go for. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna jump up there to 310. So let's. $20, $10, $5. What's the bet for the closest number?

[JD]

We're betting money?

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, we always have to bet money. Keep it interesting.

[JD]

I mean, I.

[Michael Turley]

Five bucks.

[JD]

Five bucks.

[Michael Turley]

Is that fair, Bob? Okay, sure. J.D.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Survey says final number is $621.51.

[Bobbo Baba]

Good God. Give me that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Not just one of them.

[Bobbo Baba]

Single vehicle.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes.

[Michael Turley]

Hold on. Wait, wait.

[JD]

I can't be right.

[Michael Turley]

The 521.

[John Clay Wolfe]

521.

[Michael Turley]

521. 51. Holy. 521. So we've got about $4,000 from invoices.

[Bobbo Baba]

Which vehicle is that for? That's got to be one of your permanent vehicles that you drive.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's the paper tags.

[JD]

Yeah. They don't last some.

[Bobbo Baba]

Well, somebody's joyride.

[JD]

Yes, that's.

[Michael Turley]

That has to be that 521 picture.

[Bobbo Baba]

And they're doing it, and they're doing it in plano.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Picture of the tag. That's the best.

[Michael Turley]

Your paper pay today and avoid additional fees.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Wow, cool.

[Bobbo Baba]

Hey, and they will, too, man, because I got one of these at my house, and I'm thinking, oh, I'll pay it. I'll go online. It's easiest. And I made the mistake of waiting about three weeks, and they had thrown like, a 15 fee. I don't know if that was a percentage or just to give me, but it's gonna go up, man. Those fees kick in.

[Michael Turley]

So this was started in January. Hang on just a second. Now, here's the list of invoices. This all shows January 2016.

[JD]

It may be the runner one.

[Michael Turley]

I may.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You think?

[Michael Turley]

No, no, no, no, no, no. That's the day. Now, These are from 15.

[Bobbo Baba]

600.

[Michael Turley]

The 15. Oh, you can look at the date on the tag. What if the tags expired, though? I still owe it the bill.

[JD]

I don't think so, because that tag's from November of 2015.

[Michael Turley]

Charlie, you just brought up a very, very, very valid point, which is One, the tag is expired. So are we responsible if you're an expert in the tolling business?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, here's a bill that's signed into law by Governor Rick Perry. June 14th of 2013, states that habitual violators, those who owe at least 100 tolls and have issued. Been issued at least two notices of non payment in the last year, may be subject to vehicle registration block.

[Michael Turley]

But they don't even know what vehicle it is.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Violation of the ban of the NTT operation. Blah, blah, blah. Says it's a misdemeanor, and you can get a $500 fine.

[JD]

Well, this is just the first warning, right?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, it's first one.

[JD]

So it's not 130.

[Michael Turley]

What did you see the date on.

[JD]

The tag was November of 2015.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, there's not that long ago. But the. But, but, but, but, but, but, but. Give me that again.

[Bobbo Baba]

That's just what they were identified.

[Michael Turley]

They were showing stuff from January last year.

[JD]

Yeah, they're out.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, they're out.

[JD]

Yeah, the tags are out.

[Michael Turley]

So what this is is a bunch of duplication.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Ah.

[Michael Turley]

Your Honor, I rest my case. I go for summary judgment. We are out. My 500 offer just went to 2. Oh, wow. Thank you, Turley.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That North Texas violators who can then request a hearing before the justice of the peace to review their status. It says, according to Michael Ray, who I know, by the way, I want.

[Michael Turley]

Michael Turley to represent me.

[JD]

Not at all.

[Michael Turley]

800-800-7 2, 3, 4. Phone lines are open. We have plenty of lines available. You'll get right on. If you'd like us to bid your.

[Bobbo Baba]

Car on the air, Charlie will be like, excuse me.

[JD]

Oh, you want to play? We got to play that.

[Michael Turley]

Hey, play. Will you play Baba's? I want to hear that all day. I love it. What the stupid. Give me the VIN thing.

[JD]

Oh, the drawing. I love it, too. It's gonna be heard in every commercial.

[Bobbo Baba]

Sell us your car.

[Michael Turley]

So gay. Just like watching porn.

[Bobbo Baba]

Do it in your underwear.

[JD]

I'm telling you, you're gonna be singing this at home.

[Bobbo Baba]

Sell us your car. So easy, you can do it in your underwear.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, it is 10:22 Texas Time and Louisiana Time. Central Standard Time, baby. What is your great audio?

[JD]

All right, so this lady in bfe, I don't know where she's from. She's obviously Southerner.

[Bobbo Baba]

She sounds like Arkansas.

[JD]

Yes. She was mad because somebody ripped her off and made a comment basically about her looks.

[Michael Turley]

Listen, this.

[Guest]

I have an announcement to make to y'.

[John Clay Wolfe]

All.

[Guest]

To the people of America I was at this here McDonald's on Dorset. So I go inside, I politely say, hey, can I have a McRib meal, large size, with the Dr. Pepper? And the lady said, okay. That be SIS 658. I said, Ain't you forgetting something, ma'?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Am?

[Guest]

She said, well, what? I said, you supposed to offer me the extra McRib for a dollar. When you buy the McRib meal, you ain't gonna believe it. She looked me up and down and she said, what? Don't look like you need the extra McRib. McCuse me, I throw punch that I knocked her ass down. So if you come to the.

[Michael Turley]

Sounds like RICKY Bobby's kids, McDonald's, and.

[Guest]

You see a lady named Charlene in there, tell a Carla sent you, and then you throw puncher or punch her in the cooter, I don't give a damn. This is against my civil rights. Is that real McDonald's?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Is that real Dorset?

[Guest]

Not all the other ones. I like all the other ones that ain't real.

[JD]

It's real.

[Michael Turley]

I think it's real.

[Guest]

Excuse me.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm sorry.

[JD]

It's real.

[Michael Turley]

My bad.

[JD]

And this lady had a horrible mullet. I mean, it was bad.

[Michael Turley]

And that segment was brought to you by.

[JD]

Nope.

[Michael Turley]

That segment was brought to you by.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Excuse me, biatch.

[Bobbo Baba]

There's an excuse for that being, you know, poor jingle wise. Because, like, I was asked about this. Was it Tuesday? Was it Wednesday?

[Michael Turley]

But the poorness is the funniness.

[JD]

That's what.

[Michael Turley]

No. What's the goal?

[Bobbo Baba]

Hey, make us a tag. Make us a tag, Bob. Oh, for. Give me the vin.com jingle and the last line. This is Turley's email to me. The last line, and it needs to be a jingle. Okay, and what did I. My immediate response back. A jingle.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Baba]

Question mark, exclamation point. A jingle.

[JD]

I kind of sent him a couple examples. Yeah, you know, like Stanley Steamer.

[Michael Turley]

Cleveland Steamer will steam you clean.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You've done some good songs in the past, like I Buy the Cars to make the whole world sing.

[JD]

But it was cheesy.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Good, good, too.

[JD]

He's got a. He's got a talent, folks.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Barry Manilow's sick. You hear that? Oh, no shows. No. He is gay, but he has not got some maids. We got a break. I'll tell you about Barry Manilow when we come up. We come back.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, good, good, good segue.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You like that?

[Michael Turley]

That's really smooth. Hang on. Let's do it with Bobbo Baba. Give us a big rock and roll out It's Foo Fighters, man. It's Saturday. Ready, hit it.

[Bobbo Baba]

Stay tuned. We've got more of the John Clay Wolf show coming up on ESPN 97.5.

[Show Announcer]

Now back to the John Clay Wolf show. Call him toll free. 1-800-8800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf show.

[Michael Turley]

1031 here, Central Standard time. Saturday morning football is over. The Broncos won the super bowl. For those of y' all have been living in a hole.

[JD]

Oh, yeah, that right. Huh? Remember that, J.D. when somebody picked the Broncos to beat Carolina?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, that's right. Who would have done that? Let me think. That would have been Michael Turley.

[Michael Turley]

I can't remember. You're going to have to remind me off air that I owe you a crisp, clean $100 bill. Oh, that's right.

[JD]

Yeah, I remember now.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, I do. I bet him 100. I lost.

[Bobbo Baba]

Did you really?

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, I went to get wings. I. I went to get wings at the wing place for the fam.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yep.

[Michael Turley]

And watched the first half and I had a couple big beers while I was waiting. I wasn't in a hurry.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, a daddy getting away from the family, Right.

[Michael Turley]

And then came back and opened a couple more beers over wings. And about four o', clock, four minutes left in the fourth, I fell asleep sitting up.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Wow, that surprised me.

[Michael Turley]

No, what happened? I mean, besides the Broncos?

[JD]

Well, the defense dominated Cam Newton and showed everybody that Cam Newton's not Superman. Far from it. No. Also, I don't blame Cam Newton completely.

[Michael Turley]

I don't blame him for walking. I don't blame him a bit for walking off that press conference.

[Bobbo Baba]

You know why?

[Michael Turley]

Because he just. Dude, his whole dream got crushed. He was in shock. Okay, so you just have a terrible car wreck in the. And three people in the car with you died. Then you go sit on a stage and take questions. So, J.D. when you were taking a right and you killed all those people, what were you thinking?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Nobody died. It's a football game. His dreams talks crap about everybody all year. So somebody talks crap about him and he's a little wuss. He's what they call Ted Cruz. He's that word.

[Bobbo Baba]

He could have handled it a lot better.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, that's the biggest he could have handled I've ever seen in my life. Nobody died. A football game.

[Bobbo Baba]

What would you have said if you were Cam Newton?

[John Clay Wolfe]

JD he talks crap all. You know, I can't. If somebody's start.

[Michael Turley]

Let's start. Hey, let me. Let me ask the first question. J.D. if you would have watched the game.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I watched the game. You Did I? Absolutely did.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, go ahead.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I watched the game and I watched a press conference, and he just. Somebody supposedly was talking and they were talking junk about him, and he could hear it. Okay, so here's what you say. You know what? Here's what anybody who was growing up would said. I can't really hear you right now. There's stuff going on behind me. So can we either suspend the questions or ask those people to be quiet? And that would have explained why you got up and walked away. It looked like he was embarrassed. He got the hoodie on. He's all upset. Yes, he's upset, but so what? So was Peyton Manning a few years ago, and he lost. That was every other quarterback who ever lost. They didn't get up and storm out like a little baby. He looked like a little baby. That's what it looked like.

[JD]

Yeah. All he had to do is just say, okay, you know what? This sucks.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I can't.

[JD]

I am a sore loser. And it's fine, because he admits to everybody that he's a sore loser.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, I did not know there were hecklers in the background.

[JD]

Well, no, there were hecklers.

[John Clay Wolfe]

There were.

[JD]

Somebody else was a Bronco talking crap about how they pounded, you know, him.

[Michael Turley]

In a different press conference, it was.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Bleeding over, but he could hear it. So either say that, but he was also with the hoodie and the sweat, and he just got up and walked away. It just looked like he was a sore loser. Say that.

[Bobbo Baba]

I'm not sure the hoodie, like, has a lot to do with it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, you know, it kind of does because it's just that whole demeanor. No, it does.

[Bobbo Baba]

So shoot him because he's wearing a hoodie.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No, no, no. Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. If he had won that super bowl, you think he would have been all hunched over in that little black hoodie with his head all down? No, he would have been out there with a Super bowl cap throwing Cokes and drinks and shut up.

[Bobbo Baba]

People don't remember this, but two seasons ago, after Cam Newton's first professional season, he got kind of a bad rap for having a poor attitude with players and coaches and assistants, remember, on the field and off. And he came back in his third season and said, you know what? I've had to rethink that. And he had every interview opportunity on the network. On every network. You know, I've had to re examine my attitude. I've got a better attitude. He started doing all these public service announcements and things. The new friendly Cam Newton was Out. But you know what? Lose the Super Bowl.

[Michael Turley]

He's back.

[Bobbo Baba]

And that guy's back. You know what you say in a situation like that? I. I hate to lose. I'm a sore loser. But if I had to lose one, I'm glad it's this one. Because Peyton Manning deserves all the credit that he can get.

[John Clay Wolfe]

There you go.

[Bobbo Baba]

That's what you said.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Then get up and walk away.

[Bobbo Baba]

That's what you say, Cam.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, because you're right.

[Bobbo Baba]

He was a petulant child. But this is professional football pro.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It is. You're getting paid a lot of money to sit there.

[Michael Turley]

Tell him, Trump.

[JD]

He's a.

[John Clay Wolfe]

See mommy. What's up? Let's don't use that.

[Guest]

Excuse me.

[Michael Turley]

2016.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Why did we do that on the Eagle?

[Michael Turley]

I have to do a review now. But I'm happy to do it. I'm happy to do it. It's not cuz I have to. I want to.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, y'. All.

[Bobbo Baba]

Now.

[Show Announcer]

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

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, boy.

[Michael Turley]

2016 Silverado Diesel Duramax four wheel drive crew cab. High country, short bed, bad to the bone. It's only $66,425, not $424. Okay. What is it? It's the best truck on the road. This is the one. If you. General Motors. If you'd like to give me a car for a year and I talk about it every week, I'll do that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Be the one.

[Michael Turley]

I like it. I'm in. I'm down.

[JD]

You love. I think the interior is better than the King Ranch interior.

[Michael Turley]

I do, too.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Really?

[JD]

Yeah, it's. It's nice. Nice. Nice.

[Michael Turley]

If Lexus made a heavy duty diesel truck, this would be it.

[JD]

Okay. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[JD]

I mean, if Range Rover made a heavy vibrating seats.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Why.

[JD]

When you. When you. Yes. If you're out of lines in the highway. If you're about to vibrate. Yes.

[Michael Turley]

On your. On the leg that you're of line.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's weird.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I should know that.

[Bobbo Baba]

Back up again.

[John Clay Wolfe]

How does it know that? Does it read the lines?

[JD]

I don't know. It's just magic, J.D. it's just magic.

[Michael Turley]

There's a little gnome that comes in it. There's a gnome that comes in. You have to feed them Starburst twice a day. You just slide it in a little drawer.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's bizarre. That's. That's a little frightening.

[Michael Turley]

I don't know what else to say. I mean, do you want to get into all the details or just say it's the best truck.

[JD]

Did you go off roading in it?

[Michael Turley]

I did not.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay. I was.

[JD]

I figured maybe you might try that.

[Michael Turley]

You don't have to. It's just nice. I've got a Ford King Ranch that I am fixing to get out of. And I think I'd like to get this.

[JD]

There you go.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, that's about as good of an endorsement as you can have. 800.

[John Clay Wolfe]

How much is it?

[Bobbo Baba]

You gotta admit, it is catchy.

[Michael Turley]

It is catchy. It is catchy.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I like it. I love it.

[Michael Turley]

I like it. So, Valentine's. What'd you get your old lady? Turley.

[JD]

She's gonna get some flowers and a little bear.

[Michael Turley]

I did.

[JD]

I do stuff like that for work every time. Because she's. She's in the spa industry, so it's like the busiest time of the year. What spa.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Spa industry?

[Michael Turley]

Would you like a full package? Would you like a happy ending?

[JD]

Oh, no, no. Not that type of spa. Not even close.

[John Clay Wolfe]

No.

[Michael Turley]

No credit cards on happy end.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And you got a Snuggie for your.

[Michael Turley]

Wife, John, I got a Snuggie.

[John Clay Wolfe]

You are so screwed. And I don't mean in a good way.

[Bobbo Baba]

Snuggies are cool, man.

[JD]

What's cool about a snug Snuggie?

[Michael Turley]

It's comfy.

[JD]

It's a blanket. You got her a blanket?

[Michael Turley]

But you said wear it.

[JD]

Babe, here's a blanket.

[Michael Turley]

It's a blanket bag. It's a Snuggie.

[JD]

I don't think it's the gift that keeps giving.

[Michael Turley]

She didn't like it at all.

[Bobbo Baba]

Really?

[John Clay Wolfe]

I can't believe you thought she would.

[Bobbo Baba]

I would think, her being Norwegian.

[Michael Turley]

Right, right.

[Bobbo Baba]

That she would appreciate, you know, a blanket with sleeves.

[Michael Turley]

Agreed. It's not like they don't wear ponchos over there. Right.

[Bobbo Baba]

I mean, they're all freezing to.

[John Clay Wolfe]

They're like, why do they got them freezer, dad? They want to be win.

[Michael Turley]

They want to be Waterloo. I got it, Bob. I got it. I always get the ABBA bad references.

[Bobbo Baba]

There's. Yeah, but shot of the day, little cupcake. Okay.

[Caller]

All right.

[Michael Turley]

It's an ABBA Snuggie.

[JD]

Oh, that's what you should have done.

[Michael Turley]

If they made an ABBA Snuggie.

[JD]

No, next year. There's always next year.

[Michael Turley]

I could just take it to embroidery shop and get the big ABBA Greatest Hits logo put on the front of it.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That would be such a really bad idea. J.D. you've gotten.

[Bobbo Baba]

You got a lady now.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, sort of.

[JD]

Yes. No, I mean, this is breaking news yeah, last week. No. Did he not admit it last week?

[Michael Turley]

He admitted last week he has a girlfriend.

[JD]

Yes.

[Michael Turley]

That he hasn't kissed yet.

[JD]

Yes. Not now you haven't.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What. What is your question, Bob?

[Bobbo Baba]

I just. I. I see pictures, you know, on the Facebook.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Facebook. We just. Yeah. I gave her a trip to the St. Thomas for Valentine's.

[Bobbo Baba]

That's nice.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes.

[JD]

Heck yeah.

[Bobbo Baba]

That's pretty.

[Michael Turley]

Wow. T ain't hitting it.

[Bobbo Baba]

So this one chick text me earlier this week. What kind of guitar do you like to play?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, wow. She. She got us from scratch, so I.

[Bobbo Baba]

Sent her a picture of a Takamani. Now I was like a dreadnought, you know, acoustic, electric, with a sunburst pattern like that.

[Michael Turley]

It would set a brother back. How much? 6.99.

[Bobbo Baba]

No, no, the regular price is 249, but they are for President's Day sale. They're [e-mail].

[Michael Turley]

Okay.

[Bobbo Baba]

Free shipping, Jack. So anyway, I sent her the link and we'll see. But anyway, that's the. That's what rough shape I'm in one of them. I'm gonna have to go back on the candy and maybe up my margin.

[JD]

Yeah, a little bit.

[Michael Turley]

So how many hoes you running?

[Bobbo Baba]

I. I know a few. Then they're not hoes. They're very nice girls.

[Michael Turley]

Well, good. And where do they stay?

[Bobbo Baba]

Well, one's here. I'm gonna see one later today.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, look at.

[JD]

Oh, he's got a Dallas chick.

[Bobbo Baba]

San Antonio.

[Michael Turley]

San Antonio.

[JD]

San Antonio chick.

[Bobbo Baba]

Bui Texas.

[Michael Turley]

Okay.

[Bobbo Baba]

And somewhere in Oklahoma. I can't remember the name of the.

[Michael Turley]

It doesn't matter. Oklahoma's all just one city anyway.

[Bobbo Baba]

Lake Edwards.

[Michael Turley]

It's just Indians.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Wow.

[JD]

4 Baba. I did not see you as that kind of guy.

[Michael Turley]

So since you're on the radio and I'm sure that you're bragging on your Facebook page that you were going to be joining the show today. And I'm sure you told all your gals you're going to be on the show today. You just put them all together.

[Bobbo Baba]

Nah, they won't listen. All right? They won't listen. The second, the second car call you took, they turned us off.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Baba]

This is a show for manly men.

[Caller]

All right.

[Bobbo Baba]

Okay.

[Michael Turley]

I think 800. 800.

[Bobbo Baba]

I didn't think about that, man.

[Michael Turley]

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

[Bobbo Baba]

Oh, wow.

[Michael Turley]

800, 800 radio. Speaking of cars, we will buy your car. If you want to call in, talk to us on the air live here on the station. We will bid your car over the air and says seven day bid.

[JD]

You know what time it is, John? Tax checks coming in, right?

[Michael Turley]

True.

[JD]

Oh, so they're looking to get rid of that car to get there a little bit more money, right. For their.

[Michael Turley]

They got their car and they got.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Some scratch right now.

[Michael Turley]

And you take them together and you can go get some new. New wheels.

[John Clay Wolfe]

New wheels.

[Michael Turley]

You can resell, resole your shoes.

[John Clay Wolfe]

So it doesn't really change the used car market. Just people buy more.

[Michael Turley]

No, it definitely changes the used car market. It spikes it up during this time of year and you can add about stuff under 10 grand. You get 10%.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Wow.

[Michael Turley]

Really decent on appraisals.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, it hasn't really hit. The tax checks are coming out slow this year. But it just. I talked to note dealer, note dealers together that does buy here, pay here.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yep.

[Michael Turley]

Because those people, it's sad, but there's a lot of them.

[Bobbo Baba]

What the hell you mean those people?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Right?

[Bobbo Baba]

I'm sorry.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Here we go.

[Michael Turley]

There's a lot of guys that buy a $5,000 ride at the note lot. They put a thousand dollars down and then they're back to heel toeing it about four months later. And then next repo and the next year they have to do it again. And then they do it again. And then they do it again. It's the damnedest cycle I've ever seen, and it is so real. It's sad that they just. They rent a car for a thousand dollars for four months a year.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Wow.

[Michael Turley]

With a tax check.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Watch me, Whip. Watch me, shana nay. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.

[Bobbo Baba]

Keep on dancing.

[Michael Turley]

800, 800.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I don't know if you saw this, but there's a new chocolate you can get for your wife. Since it's the Snuggies. Not gonna work. You may want to do this, it's along the same lines as the thoughtfulness. You can actually make a chocolate body part. It is a part of your. Part of your bobo. You can have it crafted to look just like yours.

[Michael Turley]

Like she would say, oh, that's not yours.

[JD]

Like your London.

[Michael Turley]

Dude, that's so nasty. It just made my stomach hurt.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I'm sorry. And there's a guy selling them for real.

[Bobbo Baba]

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Chocolate bobos.

[Michael Turley]

I have to. No, I. I got a chocolate kiss.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Stop it. Okay. Stop it.

[Michael Turley]

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

[John Clay Wolfe]

What part is he talking? A picture.

[Michael Turley]

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

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[Michael Turley]

Hey, what you got?

[Caller]

Hey, good morning.

[JD]

Good.

[Caller]

Hey, I just had a question for you guys. I'm a dad with small kids, long commute, and I was looking at a Subaru WRX sti.

[Michael Turley]

I'm laughing at you, dude. Okay, so I'm a dad with small kids, family man, long commute, and I'm looking at a new Dodge Challenger. But I want to SRT8, you know, the special edition. I mean, so you want to. A WRX is a hot rod for a man without a bunch of small kids and without a wife and without a long commute. But that's fine.

[JD]

It's got four doors.

[Michael Turley]

Make yourself happy is what matters. So what is your question?

[Caller]

Well, is that. How stupid of a decision is that?

[Michael Turley]

I think it's fine if you can make it work. I mean, how. How old are the kids? Because these cars don't. The smaller cars, the car seats don't fit very well at all.

[Caller]

Five and three and this week.

[Michael Turley]

So the three is still. He could be in one of those jumper seats. So that'll probably still work. The. The depreciation on a Subaru WRX is not. It's very light. They hold their value even with miles. I bought an 04 with 40,000 miles, which is low miles for an O4 for like 15 or 16 grand from a listener this week. I mean, that's a. That's an old ass car. An 04, right? How much is the car you're looking at?

[Caller]

The. The one with leather, 30, 40 MSRP.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, it's a lot of rig. There's a new one that's just as fast. The cloth ones, I mean, you triple net them for like 25 grand. The base. The base one.

[Caller]

What are the other cars in that space? There's like the Lancer Evo and there's supposed to be a new Focus rs.

[JD]

Focus is too small.

[Michael Turley]

At El Paso on The Focus. Oh, and the Mitsubishi Lancer. The Lancer, the eva. I'd definitely go WRX if I was.

[Bobbo Baba]

Gonna be a. Xnay on the answer lay there.

[Michael Turley]

Well, the Evos, they bring a lot of money too. So that's gonna be. That's going to be personal preference. But my personal preference would be the Subaru WRX that you're looking at. I'd go blue with gold wheels.

[Bobbo Baba]

Hell yeah, man.

[Michael Turley]

That's. I Hope that's good advice. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. And we will buy your trade in, by the way. So go to givemetheven.com if you're trying to make a deal at a dealership.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Tom awesome.

[Michael Turley]

Is Aa Bottom still touring around Wichita Falls? Bob, I.

[Bobbo Baba]

You know, they are still doing stuff frequently because I always get their notifications from Dean Faulkner, lead singer.

[Michael Turley]

Cool.

[Bobbo Baba]

They're still doing stuff around. CZ Top is opening for Buffett this summer.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, they are.

[Michael Turley]

That's fine.

[JD]

How about we know JD will be there.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Absolutely. May 28th, Frisco.

[Bobbo Baba]

Man, I hate to go to Frisco. God dang, I wish they would just play the Starplex.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, you know, I think it's a deal with Frisco.

[Bobbo Baba]

I've never missed. I haven't missed a Buffett show at Starplex since 1988. And that's a true story.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, that's been a long time since.

[Bobbo Baba]

I've seen it, like 22 times.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Only you and I still call it Starplex, by the way.

[Caller]

Oh, right, right.

[John Clay Wolfe]

It's been 10 years since it was Bob.

[Michael Turley]

You got a blonde joke for us, right?

[Bobbo Baba]

This is. This is great. This is one I just found online, and I. I thought it was really funny. So see, see if you can. Vidi this.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Brother Vidi this.

[Bobbo Baba]

A blonde college student, wanted to earn some extra money, decided to do odd jobs for her wealthy neighbors.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay.

[Bobbo Baba]

At the first house, she said, you know, I want to do some odd jobs. Do you have anything I can help with? He says, well, you can paint my porch. How much would you charge? And she said, $50. So the man agrees, and he gives her some paint and brushes and goes back in the house. The man's wife overheard their conversation and asked him if the blonde girl had realized that the porch goes all the way around the house. He says, well, she should. She was standing on it, right? So a short time later, the blonde comes to the front door to collect her money. He says, wow, you finished already? And she says, yeah, I even had enough paint left over that I gave it two coats.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay.

[Bobbo Baba]

The guy's impressed, so he goes to give her the money. And just as he's getting his wallet out, she says, and by the way, it's not a porch. It's Alexis.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, geez.

[Bobbo Baba]

Sell us your car. She thought he was talking about the car.

[JD]

Stand up.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Talking about my car, ladies and gentlemen. He'll be here all week. Try the veal.

[Michael Turley]

We missing somebody?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah. Not really.

[Bobbo Baba]

We lost John.

[John Clay Wolfe]

He is gone to the little boys room for a moment.

[Bobbo Baba]

Rebel Base, this is Red 5. We lost John.

[Caller]

Oh, man.

[JD]

Hey, what's in the news?

[Bobbo Baba]

No, he warned you about this too, man, because he said, you're gonna have to stand on your own two legs.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I kind of wanted John for this story, but Toyota's pulling the plug on Scion. Little upstart. Finally. It launched in 2002 to appeal to the finicky younger buyers. It was struggling to connect on its own. The reason, according to Toyota, no longer struggling to connect to those buyers.

[JD]

Yeah, the car is not selling. That's why.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, there you go.

[Bobbo Baba]

What buyers?

[JD]

Yeah. No, so terrible idea.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Why the Scion?

[Michael Turley]

Yes. It's just.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Just because it boxy, because it looks ugly. They're just.

[JD]

I. You get what they're doing. They're trying to get, like with Honda Civics and stuff like that, cool. It's like, oh, we'll make these cool, right?

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[JD]

Why don't you just do it under the Toyota brand? I don't understand that.

[John Clay Wolfe]

What they're back to doing. So what. What does that do to a Scion resale to. Does that mean they go away? Is it like the Pontiac brand? It's not worth anything anymore. Saturn.

[Bobbo Baba]

It's like when General Motors bought Yugo. You have the Geo Metro.

[JD]

Yes, exactly.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, so the Scion. Not that people. People that have a Scion, if they want to sell it, is it going to be worth less now? Because the brand went away, John. The Scion brand went away. You don't know.

[Michael Turley]

It's Toyota. It's all the same. It's just nothing. It's. It's the difference.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Doesn't make you different.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, might as well say Toyota on the hood.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay?

[Michael Turley]

It always was.

[JD]

Yeah, okay.

[Michael Turley]

It's just a damn Toyota built on the Toyota platform. Toyota factory, Toyota Asians. I mean, it's just Toyota.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Stop me when you want to. Want to hear more of this story? Johnny Menzel's ex girlfriend now says in an affidavit he hit her so hard during an argument that actually she's lost hearing in one ear.

[Michael Turley]

Sounds like a lawsuit, Colleen.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay, you want to stop there?

[JD]

No, no, no.

[John Clay Wolfe]

There's no punchline. He said Menzel dragged her into a car last month as she tried to get away from him. Crowley accused Menzel of striking her in the left ear. He has now denied, of course, all this. And there's a. There's a big running thing. They went downstairs. There was. Was a valet involved. There was in and out, in and out of the car. The big fight all the way to Fort Worth. This is all alleged.

[JD]

Yeah. The story is that. That leaving the hotel.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yes.

[JD]

He was dragging her. Dragging her into the car. Dragging her into the car. And there's a valet watching this. And she escaped. Ran into the bushes.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[JD]

He then grabbed her again and dragged her back into the.

[Michael Turley]

Why didn't the valet assist her then?

[JD]

That's the question.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Well, the valet says, I don't know what to do. You got a guy, you know, Call the cops. Do something.

[Michael Turley]

Do something. Oh, we could have had an O.J. moment between Dallas and Fort Worth.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[JD]

Oh, is that the Cato guy, you think?

[Michael Turley]

No, just the cops following crazy Manziel in the car.

[JD]

My theory is Cleo always saw this whole thing, but.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Oh, yeah, I totally agree. So how long until this melts down to Menzel has done something that you can't deny any longer?

[Michael Turley]

Well, I voted last week. He was gonna off himself.

[JD]

Remember, we have a 25 bet.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Okay.

[JD]

That his bet is that at the bottom for Manzel is what, Death?

[Michael Turley]

Yes.

[JD]

Killing himself. Mine is Jail. Good long jail sentence.

[Michael Turley]

Yours was rehearsal, yours a wreck.

[JD]

No.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah, he's gonna hurt himself or somebody.

[Michael Turley]

But if he dies in the wreck, then we both get Turley's money.

[JD]

Would you like in on this, Bobbo man? What do you think the bottom for Johnny Manziel is?

[Bobbo Baba]

You guys forget about characters like Hollywood Henderson and Vince Young and guys who have gone on. You know, you don't have to die just because you can't play in the league.

[JD]

No, the rock bottom something.

[Michael Turley]

What?

[JD]

Got to come up with something. Come on.

[Bobbo Baba]

Rock bottom for Manziel.

[JD]

Yes.

[Bobbo Baba]

He'll be selling cars in Tulsa.

[Michael Turley]

Well, if you go to my Facebook page, the John Clay Wolf show and scroll down to last week, you will see a photo of Johnny Manziel in the car auction lanes. I took a side shot of him. I didn't talk to him. Did you see it? Yeah, yeah. I mean, so you may be exactly right. Yeah. Because his dad's in the car business. He's the general sales manager of Honda Fort Worth.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I thought that was a joke.

[Bobbo Baba]

No, I'm very psychic about him.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That was really him. That was really him.

[Michael Turley]

And his dad really is the sales manager of Honda Fort Worth.

[John Clay Wolfe]

I thought that was. You were kidding.

[Michael Turley]

Well, look at the picture. Oh, well, there's sound like him.

[John Clay Wolfe]

There's a picture look like him.

[JD]

You know what? Kenny Powers all over again. His dad, he's gonna go in there.

[Michael Turley]

Promote for Fort Worth. Honda. Honda. He's gonna be in there throwing $4,000. Yeah, I'll pay you 200 bucks. Okay.

[Bobbo Baba]

Hi, y'. All, this is Johnny Manziel.

[Michael Turley]

Hey, he is Kenny Powers.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Dude.

[JD]

Yeah. Yeah, dude.

[John Clay Wolfe]

That's funny.

[Michael Turley]

No, that's true, Johnny, man. Real life reality show.

[John Clay Wolfe]

Yeah.

[Bobbo Baba]

I'm gonna tell you you about the.

[Michael Turley]

New Odyssey, the Johnny Manziel show. Oh, it's coming.

[John Clay Wolfe]

This guy is coming to a theater near you.

[Bobbo Baba]

This van is badass.

[John Clay Wolfe]

And the Discovery Channel is announced. The Real Housewives of Dallas as is. As if Dallas wasn't plastic and fake enough.

[Michael Turley]

Dominic, hold. Hold tight. We're fixing on a break. I'm grab you during the break. I see you there. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Kevin, I'll do the same for you. I know you've been holding for a minute and I have plenty of lines open. You'll get right on. If you call in right now at 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Or go to givemetheven.com Vin is V I n my Name is John Cleveland. I buy cars on the radio for Tom Petty. Dominic, good morning.

[Caller]

Good morning to you, Mr. Wolf. How are you?

[Michael Turley]

Good. I was looking in our web. In our. It said you're on the website already, so I was looking in our system. When did you put your car in there? Today or a couple days ago?

[Caller]

It was yesterday evening.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, let me go to it. Hold on a second. Now we're off the air, and I'm not in a big hurry. Activity Friday, February 13th. Scroll down. Dominic Franklin. And they have not answered you yet because I'll tell you why. We started in Dallas today, the first time in a while, and we've been overrun. Okay. Oh, they did talk to you. It's a. It's a base model. And they hit you at 10,000, is that right?

[Caller]

Well, I didn't talk to anybody. I didn't get any response back. I mean, you did send a reply? Email, but no one told me how much it would be worth.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, okay. So a manager set it up as $10,000, but they had not sent you. Let me see who's got this assigned. Terry has not sent you your offer letter yet. So ten grand is the number.

[Caller]

Ten grand is the number.

[Michael Turley]

Does that work?

[Caller]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, we want to trade it in our car and get it done, so.

[Michael Turley]

Okay. I'll remind them when we get off the air to send you the offer letter. So you got in your hand. We can get the deal done.

[Caller]

All right, sir.

[Bobbo Baba]

Thank you so much.

[Michael Turley]

Thank you. Kevin, good morning. You're on the air. Hey, Kevin.

[Caller]

Yes, sir. Hey, I've got a. How you doing? I've got a 2005 Land Rover. Range Rover charged, got about a 180 on it.

[Michael Turley]

Is it. Is it a HSE?

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[Michael Turley]

Okay. Did you say it's supercharged?

[Caller]

It's supercharged. So I don't know if it's an hse. I don't know.

[Michael Turley]

Is it the sport one with the back windshield that slanted? Or do you know?

[Caller]

Oh, man. No, it's the. The Range Rover. It's not the Sport.

[Michael Turley]

Okay, cool. The miles are gonna kill it. I mean, it's the damnedest thing I've ever seen in my life, and it embarrassed me. It embarrasses me. For Land Rover to bid. I mean, I can't believe they cannot get a hold of their depreciation. Dude, it's unbelievable. I looked at one because I wanted to get a new one, and I was like, I can lease one and let them take the big depreciation. No, they set the residual in two years at 50% depreciation. Two years off 100 grand. So I found a used one with 13,000 miles and I got it downstairs. I bought it from a listener and I was like, let me try to lease this one. You know what? They set the depreciation at 50%. So the lease payment on a used one was the same as a new one, meaning that they're gonna 500 a week. Okay, so now we got this hundred thousand dollar car, this 10 years old that you have with 180 on it and they're bringing, they're bringing with 180. There's never been one make it that far in what I'm looking at. This car is worth $4,000.

[Caller]

Are you serious?

[Michael Turley]

It's just stupid. Dude. It's it. Somebody needs to do something. I mean, how can a car go from a hundred to four?

[Caller]

Oh my goodness. Ten years?

[Michael Turley]

What, what do you, what do you owe on it? 10.

[Caller]

We're done paying for it.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, I may go, I may go 4,500, but. But that's all it's worth. I mean, let me look at one other thing. Hold on. I'm looking at market reports right now. Here's one not. Okay, here's 194, 000 mile one that sold two weeks ago at the dealer auction in Atlanta, Georgia for 3, 500. Here's 168, 000 mile when in Riverside, California. That brought 4100 and you got 180. I'm hitting it just right on. Four grand.

[Caller]

Yeah, no, no, yeah, you're good, you're good. My wife won't be too happy, but I'll let her know. I sure appreciate it.

[Michael Turley]

Yes, sir. If you want to sell it to us, go to givemetheven.com. say wolf, hit it at four grand on the air, in the, in the feedback. Push a couple pictures, the VIN number and we'll get on it.

[Caller]

All right. Thank you, sir.
