Episode Overview

This episode of The John Clay Wolfe Show delivers the program's signature mix of irreverent car talk, sports banter, unscripted office drama, listener call-ins, and edgy, offbeat humor. The show’s central thread is a real-life saga: the team has lost contact with “Boots,” an employee sent to Las Vegas to open their new GiveMeTheVin.com office, and John and his crew spin wild speculation and comedic theories about what happened. Along the way, the crew takes live car bids, discusses college football, lampoons the week’s weirdest stories, and riffs on the chaos of their ever-growing business.

---

Main Themes

• The Mystery of Missing ‘Boots’: The team struggles and jokes about their buyer who’s vanished in Vegas, sparking a show-long thread of theories and wild anecdotes.
• Cars, Cars, and More Cars: From live appraisals and auctions to buyer horror stories, the show stays centered on John’s trade.
• College Football and Sports Betting: Anticipation for major matchups, point spreads, and host bets color much of the early show.
• Wild Office Tales: Boot’s vanishing act leads to stories about buyers going AWOL, team mishaps, and growing pains for a rapidly expanding company.
• Offbeat Humor and Satire: The escapades include live characters (Rush Limbaugh, Satan), spoof news (Hurricane Florence identifying as "Hurricane Frank"), and riffing on odd news, like the “Uranus Examiner.”
• Listener Calls: Callers offer car deals, missing persons theories, and share strange job termination stories.
• Industry Insights: John shares the operation’s scale, buying strategies, and how they outbid competitors like CarMax.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Vegas Buyer “Boots” Goes AWOL

• The Setup: John recounts sending “Boots,” a single guy, to open their Las Vegas office between CarMax and luxury dealerships (06:02).
• Disappearance Discovered: “Boots" hadn’t answered calls in days; customers reported a locked office (07:11).
• Crew Speculation:
  • John: “We have a man down. Man overboard. We are missing a passenger on the SS Give Me The Vin.” (06:48)
  • Michael Turley and J.D. jokingly claim CarMax abducted him, or he’s “sleeping with the fishes.” (08:04)
• Listener Theories:
  • Stuck at the Bunny Ranch (16:06)
  • Caught up with a "pro" and lost all his savings (19:41)
  • Took off on a bender, possibly an accident (23:18)
  • Kidnapped by competitor or aliens (13:55)
• Real Attempt to Find Him: The team sends another buyer, Zane, to Vegas as replacement—who promptly gets trapped in a Circus Circus elevator for 90 minutes (57:23, 91:05).

2. Big College Football Saturday

• Game Previews:
  • TCU vs. Ohio State
  • LSU vs. Auburn
  • USC vs. Texas (04:01)
• Sports Betting Banter: John admits never officially betting with a bookie and invites listeners to call in:
  • “If you’re a bookie, please call in now at 800-800-7234 and I will place a bet with something.” (03:15)
• Debate Over Scheduling: Heated discussion about TCU only agreeing to play Ohio State once instead of three times and the implications for strength of schedule (74:29).

3. The Chaos of Expanding a Car Business

• Boots’s Vanishing = Car Biz Reality: John and Michael recount similar stories from years of hiring salesmen who go on benders, disappear with company cars, or end up in bizarre predicaments.
• Remote Office Woes: John jokes about GPS tracking on buyers (“Well, actually, he does have GPS on him.” 11:54), and laments how all his “single guys” can’t be trusted in Vegas for more than a week (57:36).
• Rapid Growth Pains:
  • “We have 40 buyers downstairs in an 80 by 40 office. Now, it’s 12,000 square feet—loaded.” (139:51)
  • John contemplates needing 500 people if the east and west coast business takes off (140:08).

4. Listener Calls & Car Appraisals

The backbone of the show—rapid-fire offers on everything from Silverados to Passats to motorcycles, often laced with jokes:

• “Does 10,000 buy it? ... I'm thinking 10. I mean when’s the last time I bought a 300,000 mile 16 Dodge Laramie? Never.” (83:02)
• Callers also thank John for fair deals, share their own “buyer goes missing” stories, and compete for worst ways to get fired.

5. The Radio Show’s Unique Characters & Comedy

• Impersonations/Sketches: Rush Limbaugh, Satan, and “Reverend Charles” offer satirical gospel on everything from hurricanes to lost souls in Vegas (17:32, 43:08).
• Bizarre News:
  • Hurricane Florence “identifies” as Hurricane Frank (00:00, 33:29)
  • Uranus, Missouri launches a newspaper: the Uranus Examiner (78:00)
  • PCP, meth stories, crack pipe vending machines, and a car birth are all dissected with glee (115:23, 97:24, 137:51).
• Meta Moments: The crew discusses their own firings from various radio stations, the politics of media jobs, and on-air dysfunction ("This is not the day. He's threatening to shoot my dog and kill a couple of our buyers." 65:46).

Transcript

[John Clay Wolf]

From the National Hurricane Research Lab in Punta Gorda, Florida, I'm Kip Charles. As Hurricane Florence approaches, several atmospheric readings and radar data have led to the discovery that Hurricane Florence now wishes to identify as Hurricane Frank. And the National Hurricane Research Lab has resolved to respect her wishes. I mean, his wishes. I mean. Live from Dallas, Texas, it's Saturday morning. It's the John Clay Wolf show, starring John Clay Wolf with J.D. ryan, Michael Turley and Bobby Brown. And featuring DJ Pre K, Randy the Chipmunk, Rush Limbaugh, and Satan, the Prince of Darkness.

[John Clay Wolf]

1.

[J.D. Ryan]

A 1 right before it hit. So you still got a flurry. You still. Yeah, no, you still get about 10ft of storm surge. So flooding is the big thing, not the wind.

[Michael Turley]

So it's very wet.

[J.D. Ryan]

It was very wet. South Carolina got hit. Yeah. With a lot of flooding. And it's still raining. It's like it's doing what Harvey did, which is hit inland and then sit there and just. And just move every time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did your sister's house get.

[J.D. Ryan]

It needs to be. It's actually 13.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Michael Turley]

I'm with you, man. I think I'm a TCU fan, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

Man, do you have a bookie?

[Michael Turley]

No, I do not.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm serious.

[Michael Turley]

I'm sure I know some people that do. I don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've never placed a bet with a bookie and I would like to place a bet with a book. If you're a bookie, please call in now at 800-800-7234 and I will place a bet with something.

[Michael Turley]

Give me the vin. Buyers downstairs know some people. Okay, so you're aware that that's.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it illegal? So. Yes. Is this a bit.

[Michael Turley]

It's legal offshore.

[John Clay Wolf]

Offshore, Offshore like Switzerland.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm gonna look out the window. No, it appears that we're landlocked.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

You don't know. In Taiwan it's completely legal.

[Michael Turley]

But the other big game though, that's this afternoon, the LSU versus Auburn. That's going to be a good game. So you got pop your top at 2:30 and then watch all the way till 7:00 clock when Ohio State takes on TCU. So yeah, there's a couple good games.

[John Clay Wolf]

2:30 is the LSU game.

[Michael Turley]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning Louisiana. Good morning, Arkansas, Dallas, Houston.

[J.D. Ryan]

Are we still going to be Los.

[John Clay Wolf]

Angeles, California, IA and all you guys in Vegas and etc. No, we have a pro. Are we still going? Yeah, there's progress.

[Michael Turley]

There's been some progress. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do we have a location?

[Michael Turley]

They're working on with walk ons. I don't think we should start on.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, I have to scream at them and get it going. But anyway, by the time. I really don't want to talk about it anymore until we have a location.

[J.D. Ryan]

We have a location.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's not invite people to the wedding, J.D. until we have a wedding. So we have a preacher.

[J.D. Ryan]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

By the way, by that girl.

A ring.

[Michael Turley]

There is a. For those in California. USC versus Texas. Everybody likes to say, well, yeah, California high school players are better than Texas players right now against Texas. Yeah. Because Texas doesn't recruit the best Texas school.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's the line on that? Boston.

[Michael Turley]

That's actually three and a half Texas favored.

[John Clay Wolf]

Which really. And where is it in Austin?

[Michael Turley]

It is In Austin, but, man, I don't see it. I'll take that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, I think I would put a lot of money in that TCU line.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, I mean, I agree on that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't mean if you're gonna go, go big. Right.

[Michael Turley]

And I hate to say it. I mean, just Ohio State's just that much better, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, yeah. I watched TC play SMU last Saturday or Friday, and they did not steam. They did steamroll. They killed them. It was. It was a run, but. But they didn't do it quick enough.

[Michael Turley]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

You can't start off slow against Ohio State.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. Normally, the steamroller SMU can play with anybody a lot of times for half, but the steamroller effect begins in the middle of the second quarter. And with tcu, it didn't begin until, like, after the second round of drives in the second half.

[J.D. Ryan]

I think maybe they thought they we got this.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, no, they. Everybody thinks that. That's why they can play with them for a half. Yeah. I love Tsume. I play football, I think.

[J.D. Ryan]

You played there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. A buddy of mine's a assistant coach there now.

[J.D. Ryan]

What did you play exactly?

[John Clay Wolf]

Defensive end.

[J.D. Ryan]

Defensive end. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

You have to be a mean, evil son of a bitch to do that, J.D.

[J.D. Ryan]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

That would not be a good spot for you.

[J.D. Ryan]

Not at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. But speaking of mean and evil and demons, we have an issue.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

We have an issue. We have an issue.

[J.D. Ryan]

The John Clan Wolf Show.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we opened a Las Vegas office.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm so excited about that. That's so fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

On Sahara Street. Right between Carmax and I think the Lexus store appropriate. Good location. Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

And so we're in Vegas, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

We lost. So we sent our guy out there.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

To open the office. Open the office, sure. And I knew. In a single guy.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I was like, huh? I think it'll be fine.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't know this story.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

What happened?

[John Clay Wolf]

We've lost him.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, no. What do you mean, lost? When you say lost, what do you mean, lost, Captain?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean lost. I mean, we have a man down. We have a man overboard. We are missing a passenger on the SS Give me the van.

[J.D. Ryan]

A single guy to Vegas and you're shocked that he's vanished?

[Michael Turley]

Well, it's been there for almost four weeks.

[J.D. Ryan]

Has it been that long?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it's been two and a half, hasn't it? How long has it been? Maybe let's call it three. Three? Yeah. Okay. Hold on. How long has he been Gone since Thursday.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, well, actually, Wednesday, we last.

[John Clay Wolf]

The last communication was the last sighting we had. I think it was a forest gump. Wednesday.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I know that we had a lot of deliveries there with. Check all the printer and all. All the. All this stuff and people. Some people were dropping cars off, and they're like, hey, door's locked. Nobody's there. So we're blowing the phone up. Blowing the phone up. And everybody's freaking out and, like, calling the hospitals, calling the police station.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you call the Chinese restaurants?

I did not call the Chinese restaurant before.

Well, that's what we usually do when we can't find somebody.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, you do that.

[Michael Turley]

This is. I mean, we're serious.

[J.D. Ryan]

So you guys are not kidding.

[John Clay Wolf]

Man overboard.

[J.D. Ryan]

The guy in Vegas, his rings went by himself and now he's gone.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's gone. He's gone into the Bermuda Triangle.

[J.D. Ryan]

Would you say who was near him? What other business was near him?

[John Clay Wolf]

There's a casino.

[J.D. Ryan]

And what else? Another car. Play Carmen car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

You think they stole my guy?

[J.D. Ryan]

Dude, I mean, it happens. It's Vegas. He's out in the desert. Dude, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

Do you think they took him out into the desert and dug a hole?

[J.D. Ryan]

Took him for a ride. Took him for a ride.

[Michael Turley]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Carmax is not that tough. I mean, they're just not that tough.

[Michael Turley]

It's funny. You said, but in Vegas, you could.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hire people that are tough.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, you can, Nikki Centaur.

[J.D. Ryan]

Like, I'm not tough, but I hired people.

[Michael Turley]

It's funny. JD's bringing up a theory because we all have our theories. Downstairs, we actually took up a pool. You want in on this? 20 bucks. Yes, of course. What's happened to this buyer?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, he's gone. We might as well have some fun with it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Might as well have some fun with it. I'm not gonna say his name, but we call him Boots.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, Boots.

[John Clay Wolf]

Boots.

[Michael Turley]

Because he wears boots all the time.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[Michael Turley]

Cowboy boots. So we all have our theories.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[Michael Turley]

Mine is because we had some cars down there still that were dropped off by customers.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[Michael Turley]

I think he just said, screw it. Got in one of the vehicles and he's driving back.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's coming back.

[Michael Turley]

But his phone would work, you think? But, you know, Boots is not. He doesn't think that kind of stuff.

[J.D. Ryan]

Maybe it's fine.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, he don't think.

[John Clay Wolf]

What kind of stuff?

Battery died.

Left.

[Michael Turley]

Yes, exactly. If this charger. And you know, he's just aloof and just driving. Doesn't care.

[John Clay Wolf]

Could there be a legitimate problem Though, do you think maybe. Like, maybe he got drunk and fell down?

Yes. Anything could happen. So my. We talked about this yesterday.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because everybody's panicking, and I'm like, man, don't. Let's not panic. You can't save a grown man from himself. And I don't think that anybody has snapped him up. I don't think he's that attractive. I don't think that he's been kidnapped or under hostage. 51 is out there, and I don't think he's. He might be in a hole in the desert. He could. Because he might have done something weird to get put in a hole in the desert.

[J.D. Ryan]

But I'm going to.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm going down on record that it's. That there was a woman involved.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it could have been a lease to at least a lease situation, a rental situation.

Yeah, yeah.

And then he didn't come up with his part of the deposit. I understand. And that somebody said, hey, look up. Somebody came to collect the deposit, and he didn't have it. So they beat the hell out of him maybe. And he's. He's embarrassed about that, and he got real drunk, and he's on a bender. Okay? A bender with a woman and something bad like that. Just the typical Vegas maybe.

Maybe some pills, makeshift gulag up in Elko maybe.

You know, they kept bitching, he didn't have any money. He doesn't have any money. I'm like, I don't want him to have any money. Because if you give him any money, then we know he's gonna get in trouble.

[J.D. Ryan]

Great.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, if we give him extra money, you know he's gonna get in trouble, man.

[J.D. Ryan]

Bachelor party.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, we've.

[Michael Turley]

We've actually sent somebody else down there.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

We put somebody on the airplane yesterday, so there is a new.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, so we have people.

[John Clay Wolf]

Another. Give me the VIN. Buyer manning the. Give me the VIN. What's the address there?

[Michael Turley]

[J.D. Ryan]

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, I get it now.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you know he's there. Oh, my God. We could have found him easy. Yeah, if I was worried about it, I. We could have activated the GPS system.

[J.D. Ryan]

I understand. We don't want to do that though, that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because then it turns into a national security issue.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

The guy's in charge though, right? This is not just an employee. You should have to work at a location. Guy's in charge, right?

He's in charge.

I mean, I'm asking.

Well, he was in charge. He was an employee we sent out to be in charge of a location because he told us that he could do that, told us he could handle that. So here's what I need to do, guys. Listen, people that have been around the car business, or any business, I want to take some caller guesses of what happened to this guy. Where is he?

[J.D. Ryan]

Jon?

[Caller/Guest]

Joe.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jon. I want to go to Vegas. Sir. I could run it. I could do it. I need a fresh start. Okay. All right, let's do it. We send him out there three weeks ago and now he's gone absolute awol. Every day he's so happy and so great and so grateful and everything's going so great. This is gonna be great. Thank you for this opportunity, sir. Okay. 8008-0072-3480-0800 rating. Send a new guy out to Las Vegas. Give me the VIN office. And he has gone awol. He's gone.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm telling you. Carmax showed him the inside of a trunk.

[John Clay Wolf]

Allegedly UFOs out there in Nevada.

Well, the whole idea with the CarMax thing is the people could go over and get the CarMax offer and then bring it right next door to us, show it to us. And we could either give them a check for 100 or. Or give them more money or beat them, because that's what we do. Givemetheven.com givemetheven.com yeah, we. We have a man down in Las Vegas. We'll be right back. The preschool in China is under fire after holding a welcome ceremony that featured a pole dancer. Right. Broadcasting. Wolf Radio Studios. It's time for the John Clay Wolf show. There has to be a better way to show kids. Head, shoulders, knees and toes.

[Caller/Guest]

Hit him up now.

[Michael Turley]

800, 800 radio.

[John Clay Wolf]

Parents complained. They said that preschool should be about hope and delight. And the school said. Exactly. The next two women are named Hope and delight. Now, John Clay Wolf, we're trying to find Boots, our. Our guy in Vegas that went awol. Please drive by the office. What's the address?

[J.D. Ryan]

The address in Las Vegas is the guinea.

[John Clay Wolf]

The vin office.

[J.D. Ryan]

Correct. 6332 West Sahara Avenue.

[John Clay Wolf]

His mother and his daughter. His little daughter that live in Texas, they want to know where he is, too. So if you can drive by the. Give me the VIN office, it's over next to Carmax and Alexa store over off Sahara Drive. And let us know if they're there.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure. Somebody's home.

[Michael Turley]

We're serious.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's no.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, not a bit.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's really gone.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's really gone. Jared, Good morning. Where the hell the Boots go?

[J.D. Ryan]

We're.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're taking bets of. I'm serious. But I think he twisted off. Where do you think he is? Jared? What? Is something wrong with my mic? Jared, are you there? Jared, are you. Are you special ed? Did you ride the short bus and go to the back of the school and the little portable buildings? Let me see if this one works. Kenny, are you there?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, this is Kenny.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so my stuff works. Jared is special. That's okay. I mean, it takes a world. I mean, as you know, I walk with a limp. Yes, you do. Kenny, what happened to Boots?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I think Carmax gave him a. I think they Gave him a welcome to Vegas gift card to the Bunny Ranch and told him.

[John Clay Wolf]

Told him what?

[Caller/Guest]

They told him it was so easy, he could do it in his underwear.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you think he went on a. You think he's at the Bunny Ranch? What I don't understand is why do people not answer their phones when they go out and get too drunk? I've never fallen off the radar like this.

[J.D. Ryan]

Because probably what happens is the phone dies, the battery dies and they've lost their charger. They can't find where they left anything.

[John Clay Wolf]

What city in Louisiana from Ken?

[Caller/Guest]

What's that, sir?

[John Clay Wolf]

Where do you live?

[Caller/Guest]

Can't hear you.

[John Clay Wolf]

There is something wrong with my mic. We need to dial on a little bit early and I hear some. I hear something. What city in. In Louisiana are you at?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I'm calling from New Iberia, Louisiana.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning. Okay. Jared in Dallas. Good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, good morning, sir. I got disconnected there. I've got a theory on your Boots. When he moved to Vegas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

All right. I think he went through the Drive through Elvis. He gave his life to the priesthood. He is going to rebuke the sins of Sin City.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, but I mean, is the devil in his. In his phone? Why can't he call anyone?

[Caller/Guest]

I think he saw the light.

[Michael Turley]

Reverend Charles. Is that what he's asking?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Reverend Charles. Let's ask Reverend Charles. Reverend Charles, are you around? Come here, Reverend. Get that organ fired up. I brought it in here for a reason.

Come on in here, brothers and sisters.

Reverend, where the hell is Boots?

I can tell you as well, I know from the teachings of the Apostle Paul.

[J.D. Ryan]

Apostle Paul.

[John Clay Wolf]

There are many things in Sin City.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

That ain't so sinful anymore. You can take your whole family, take the children, take them out to the. It's like Walt Disney World.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, for the desert. Not really.

[John Clay Wolf]

If they be 12 or old.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's not really.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't have to be there for hook and throwing them craps. Watching them stage show with little old bitty, pretty, skimpily clad dancer girls.

[J.D. Ryan]

Mostly what it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Many times, though still with all these family friendly offerings, there is still no light in Las Vegas. I tell this because I know, Jared, because I have walked with the light.

[J.D. Ryan]

I have talked with the light.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I see.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

No life in Las Vegas, Nevada, Joy.

Amen.

Amen.

Vegas people go to givemetheven.com and put some pretty cars in there. I'd like to pimp around. I'm heading out there. I'm gonna go out there Thursday or Friday and I'm gonna get to the bottom of this. I'm gonna. I'm probably gonna have to do the show from there next Saturday.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Good. Very cool. Because now I need to get out there and they've been bugging me about this I Heart Radio music festival.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it's. It's next weekend, so we'll just go out there. I need to go see this place anyway, so. And I need a car to drive. So go to givemetheven.com and I'll buy your car. I need a car to drive a nice car. I need a car. Yeah, I'd rather it be a nice car. I mean, I don't really drive fancy cars. I drive like a Tahoe black.

[J.D. Ryan]

You don't. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

But in Vegas, I would love to drive around for a few days in a fancy car. That'd be fun to be, like, on a trip. 8008-0072-3480-0800, Raider. Good morning, you're on the air. Hello. Hello.

[Caller/Guest]

Hi, this is Tiffany. I have a theory.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. All right.

[Caller/Guest]

So he's in the car business, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Caller/Guest]

So this is what happened. He shut down. You heard from a Wednesday night. He shut down. Wednesday night. He went to the casino. On the way, he's like, you know what? I think I'm just gonna get a 16th, get a couple lines, got a couple beers, knocked the edge off. And then he met a pro, and the pro convinced him to take out what he had in savings. How long has he been working for you guys?

[John Clay Wolf]

About a year or two. And he's got some money.

[Caller/Guest]

He had approximately $1,800 in savings. So he took all that out, the pros milking him. You'll hear from him today at about 4:00'.

[John Clay Wolf]

Clock.

[Michael Turley]

Wow, this is a great theory.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I really agree with her. I really agree. What do you do for a living?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm in the car business.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did you do? What'd you do years ago?

[Caller/Guest]

What did I do years ago?

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you ever worked at a dance club, at a. At a dancing place?

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, did I? No, no, no. But I've gone to plenty, so I know how they operate.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I think you're right. I mean, my theory and your theory are pretty damn close.

[Michael Turley]

Hers is much more detailed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yours is much more detailed. My name's John Clay Wolf and I buy cars on the radio. 800-800-7 2 for 800, 800 radio. One more quick. Terry, what do you think?

[Caller/Guest]

I think that he used the money that you guys sent him down there on the gamble. And then he got in over his head and now he's sleeping with the fishes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, we'll be right back.

[Michael Turley]

Hey, McDermott, we did it. A happy ending.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, if you call selling cars in Temecula a happy ending. Temecula is not even Mother France.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I know that you put in a lot of effort. Now back to the John Clay Wolf Show. What the hell does that have to do with the price of tea and chunk? Hit him up right now. 1-800-800-RODIO.

[Caller/Guest]

I'll make my sight look easy.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's not funny. This is the John Clay Wolf Show. What song is this? Who the hell is this? I've never heard it in my life. Who is this? Turley?

Oh, that's Kiss, man.

[Michael Turley]

Kiss?

[John Clay Wolf]

What song?

Christine sixteen.

Okay, Never heard it.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's awesome.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've never. Yeah, yeah, I have heard it. It's been a long time.

Gene Simmons on lead vocal.

It's been a long time. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. What time is it? 8:45. I don't want to blow the whole show on the guy that we have in Vegas that went on a bender, but we are looking for. We are looking for our employee that we think has gone on a bender that we sent out to Vegas to open our new office. The Give me the VIN office over on Sahara Drive, next to CarMax and the Lexus store. What's the address?

[J.D. Ryan]

The address in Las Vegas for Give me The VIN is 6332 W. Sahara.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ave. Somebody go to buy there. The problem is nobody's listening. We're on a two hour delay in Vegas because they're two hours behind us. So those calls aren't going to come in until 10 o'. Clock. Yep, but they will. So we will hear from them then. But that's about time. Go. Somebody go by there and in Vegas and knock on the door and take a picture and send it to us. Post it on there, our Facebook page.

[J.D. Ryan]

John sleeping on the floor inside.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just pass down for two days there.

[Michael Turley]

We do have somebody there. Our buyer, Zayn. But he doesn't look anything like boots. He does not wear.

[John Clay Wolf]

Chase, Good morning. You're on the. Chase, you there? Chase?

[Caller/Guest]

Chase? Yeah, I'm here.

[John Clay Wolf]

What you got?

[Caller/Guest]

We had a guy one time, similar situation and it kind of sounds like the same thing. So I'm. I'm guessing he went to his car and realized he was out of gas, so he borrowed one of yours and he wrecked it and he's trying to get it fixed. At a shady body shop in Vegas. And then he'll call you back.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, now that we're bringing this up, that's funny you bring that up, Because I've had a lot of. I've been in the car business for years, and I've seen a lot of this.

[J.D. Ryan]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. There was a guy named Roger. I forgot his last name. He's in Wichita falls, Texas, and he. When I hired him, he's the greatest salesman in the world. Wolf Ford Dodge Vernon auto group is the name of my old dealership up there. Hired this guy. They're like, he's the greatest guy in the world, but he's gonna go on a bender once he makes money. And he did. And he took the car. He had to have a demo, and he had to have this. And we found him. We found the car at a shady motel, and he was all whacked out. Typical deal when he cleaned. And what's funny is when they clean up and they come back, they're like, hey, man, no, I'm here to get my check. I'm like, yeah, I'm here. You're gonna have to go through me. If you'd like to fight, we can have a fight in the parking lot. Sure. In the winner of that get your check for putting me through all that hell. Right.

[Michael Turley]

I didn't even think about it. So he may be at a hotel, like you're saying.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just.

[J.D. Ryan]

Just a little hotel.

[John Clay Wolf]

But what can you do? What drug do you do? I have a friend that's a banker that got on what he called fish scales, which is some kind of cocaine scale. And we tracked him from Dallas to El Paso with credit card transactions. He had his bull, he had a dog with him. He had his bulldog with him. So he gets high, and he takes his dog, and he goes on a road trip. And we found him in a hotel in El Paso. Not like the Marty Robbins song. Took off. Just took off. But. So we were calling the credit card company. This is on Christmas day, by the way. Day, not eve day. I'm with. I'm with his parents. I'm with his dad and his brother. And we're calling the credit card company, faking to be him, saying someone stole our card. We're trying to figure it out. And, you know, and we called this 711 or something in the middle of the desert of west Texas, and they sent us a picture of him, really, at the counter, so we knew he was alive.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay. Man, you guys were good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we. We. We found him. And then they Took him to a rehab in Arizona. And he's like, man, if I'm going to rehab, I'm going in style. We're halfway there. Just come get me in a limo. And his dad got a limo and took him to rehab.

[J.D. Ryan]

There's the problem. Anything you got a problem?

[John Clay Wolf]

I just. I can't.

[J.D. Ryan]

Dad. Pick me up in a limo.

[Caller/Guest]

And.

[Michael Turley]

You've ever been that blasted?

[J.D. Ryan]

Never even all my drinking days.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, jd, you were. You were a. What level of class? A licensed drinking alcoholic.

[J.D. Ryan]

But I was very functional. I never vanished like that. I mean, I stayed on the radio every single day drinking.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like you have to do drugs to get that.

[J.D. Ryan]

I think. I think it's in a. It's a combination.

[John Clay Wolf]

Has to be the lady that called earlier. Her details were so specific. I think she has more data.

[J.D. Ryan]

Somebody disappear not too long ago. Also from our. No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did we? Probably. Anybody in the auto business. I don't care if you're in the car insurance business, The. The car financing business, the car anything business. There's always that. That jump factor. I. I have a guy.

[J.D. Ryan]

What's that about?

[John Clay Wolf]

And when they get on meth, man, that's. That. That. That is the devil's sauce.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just.

[J.D. Ryan]

Just nothing makes sense.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lie to you, lie to you, lie to you. And once. Once they've really gotten into it, it's hard that they ever come back and they look. It's like they've been bitten by a vampire.

[J.D. Ryan]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's in them. We had. We had one jump ship. Yeah. Not too long ago.

[J.D. Ryan]

We brought him. We brought him in here and talked to him on the radio.

[Michael Turley]

Just vanished for two days.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah. He went on alcohol. A beer bender.

[J.D. Ryan]

Boom.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. We had a week, and then we had. Rob. Who the hell's in here? In the middle of my show.

That's waving.

Who is it? I don't know. Well, that's why we locked the door.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's why we locked it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Baba, will you go tell him to get the f. Out of my.

[Michael Turley]

I got it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You go. I'm serious. We tell them to go. Get the hell out of our studio and lock the door. And shut the door.

[J.D. Ryan]

It is locked.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're. We're on a syndicated radio station on Westwood One. We got people walking in off the street.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, we have guns and locks and.

[John Clay Wolf]

Doors, but if we don't lock them and show them.

[J.D. Ryan]

Ready to walk in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, we'll get you going. John, let me ask you a question.

[John Clay Wolf]

800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Doyle. Good morning. Hello, Doyle, can you hear me?

[Caller/Guest]

Hello?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Caller/Guest]

Can you hear me?

[John Clay Wolf]

I can hear you.

[Caller/Guest]

I can't hardly hear you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, what do you got? Talk to him. J.D.

[J.D. Ryan]

What do you got, man? What do you got? What vehicle do you have?

[John Clay Wolf]

Hello, Doyle, you're on the effing air. You are on the radio.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, I just had a theory about your dad, but you said you found him.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, you haven't found him yet.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, well, my theory is that he. He pissed somebody's CarMax off. He's probably stuck in one of the trunks of your cars. They're on the lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Those guys at CarMax aren't that tough. I'm telling you. That's why we be. That's what. We can outbid them every time. Every time. They're just not that tough. They're not that tough. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Actually, this is perfect. That Hannah just came in.

[Caller/Guest]

Good morning, guys.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning. Hannah Montana, everybody. Hannah Montana.

[Michael Turley]

Who is Hannah?

[John Clay Wolf]

Hannah is our in house photo person. She does all of our pictures and social media and. Hannah, go ahead. I don't need. I shouldn't have to tell you this. Why don't you throw a picture of yourself up on our Facebook profile so they'll know who you are?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, absolutely. I definitely will.

[Michael Turley]

Sorry, wrong song.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, no, it's fine. But see, Hannah, that's. This is. This is what's happened to Boots is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm worried about you going to California to do this modeling deal.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm not gonna disappear like Boots did.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know it, but things happen.

[Caller/Guest]

Either. Yes, yes, of course. Of course. And my thing is, as long as I'm safe, I'm good. I'm like, around people I know. I trust them. I got this. It'll be good. It's all scheduled. I know where I'm gonna be at every moment.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. See, but. See, like. But Bobbo's known pretty girls like you, young, and they go out there and they turn into what he calls a meth hyena. Baba, can you explain what a meth hyena is?

Yeah, you can. You can absolutely apply that to California. Probably better in Texas, right? You got to watch those California snows. They say, you know, Hannah, you get out there and you're doing photo shoots. A lot of people think this is an hour and a half deal and you're done. Right? How long does it take to take quality photos?

[Caller/Guest]

It's gonna be around four or five hours, probably.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

For One set for one set, then they set up for another set. They're out there. And it's not Boogie Nights, but these are long, hard hours, right?

[Caller/Guest]

Absolutely. I'll be there for a week.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do five of these in a day. You're up 20 hours. Take some of this, honey.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, God.

[John Clay Wolf]

This will keep you sharp. This will keep that. This will keep that smile nice and bright. This will keep your eyes clear.

[Caller/Guest]

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you wake up, you haven't slept in six days. You've eaten nothing. You don't even want to drink water because it's going to dilute your hyena fix. And. And you're in just like that. You're in like Flynn.

[J.D. Ryan]

If you want to see Hannah, by the way, go to the John Clay Wolf show page on Facebook. I just put up a picture.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I was supposed to go back.

She says on top of her social media, that JD had to do it for.

I think I'd rather talking to y'.

All.

[J.D. Ryan]

She's busy.

[John Clay Wolf]

It happened that just that fast? Just that fast. You're just doing it at first to stay up and have fun.

[J.D. Ryan]

You got somebody with you. Somebody kind of is your backup. Nobody.

[Caller/Guest]

No way.

[J.D. Ryan]

Seriously, this is not a good idea.

[Caller/Guest]

It's.

[J.D. Ryan]

Man, this is not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Maybe we should get. When we find Boots, he could be her chaperone.

[Michael Turley]

Perfect.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes. Let's send Boots out there. It's close to Vegas. It's awesome.

[J.D. Ryan]

What could possibly go wrong?

[Caller/Guest]

Absolutely nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Charlie and Austin, what do you think? Charlie and Austin, what do you think?

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, guys, I think Boots might have been. I got an audition for Nudes on Ice and got his tally whacker stuck on the ice rink.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning. Good morning. Who's this? What have you got? Oh, my. Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, can you hear me, John?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, I think I know what happened to your friend Boots.

[John Clay Wolf]

What?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm pretty sure that if you ever seen Casino, maybe that's what happened to him. Maybe he's in the back room somewhere with the knife in his hand.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ouch. That did hurt. When they slammed, was it a knife or was it a hammer that they busted his hand up?

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, yeah, no, you're right. It was a hammer. It was a hammer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Maybe he was counting cards at the table.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know if he's that sharp. Alex in Houston. Good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

What have you got?

[Caller/Guest]

Got a 2011 Silverado, 102,000miles LTZ leather. I'd say it's in clean condition. You know, definitely above Average. And it's got the 6.2 liter on.

[John Clay Wolf]

A two wheel drive. It has the 6.2 liter?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes sir. It was special order from the factory. I bought it that way. Original owner had to have it built. It's got the 6.2? Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

13 grand.

[Caller/Guest]

13.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does that work?

[Caller/Guest]

That's pretty close. I think we could, I was hoping for closer to 15, but I think 135 would do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think then we'll probably do it. Go to giveme the vi n givemetheven.com load it up, say here's the car, John, hit it. 13 on the air. 135 will buy it. Put that in the info box and the buyers will email you back immediately. But take a couple of pictures of it so we can see what we're looking at.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's hard to fall in love without pictures.

[J.D. Ryan]

Absolutely.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-723-4.

[J.D. Ryan]

So we have one of Hannah up on the John Clee Wolf show on Facebook.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, yes, yes. And we're trying to make sure that she doesn't go out there and become another statistic, one of Charlie Manson's statistics when she's out in California. We're trying to protect our loved ones because we've already seen what happened on the West Coast. We'll be right back.

From the National Hurricane Research Lab in Punta Gorda, Florida, I am Kip Charles. As Hurricane Florence approaches, several atmospheric readings and radar data have led to the discovery that Hurricane Florence now wishes to identify as Hurricane Frank. And the National Hurricane Research Lab has resolved to respect her wishes. I mean, his wishes, I mean. Live from Dallas, Texas, it's Saturday morning. It's the John Clay Wolf show starring John Clay Wolf with JD Ryan, Michael Turley and Bobby Brown and featuring DJ Pre K, Randy the Chipmunk, Rush Limbaugh and Satan, the Prince of Darkness. And now your host, John Clay Wolf.

Good morning everyone. Affiliates has just picked us up. Hey, hey, hey, how are you? We've been on for an hour. The podcast will be up at 1 o' clock if you want to catch our number one. We were, we were discussing a missing employee in Las Vegas. Go figure. Sent a guy out to Vegas to open a new office and we've lost him. He went awol. He hasn't shown up. No phone, no love. So we've had to fly someone else out to Vegas to find him and man the office. And over on Sahara Driver Drive, we've been taking advice on what happened to him and we've had some, a lot of different ideas. Paul In Houston. Good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

How's it going, guys?

[John Clay Wolf]

Good, good.

[Caller/Guest]

I think I figured out what happened to Boot.

[John Clay Wolf]

[John Clay Wolf]

You're seeing a couple brought me in from the Clothing.

[Caller/Guest]

Clothing, yes.

[J.D. Ryan]

This couple wanted me to come over for this couple.

That was so nice. They just kept talking to me, and they bought me clothes. And there's a couple. We went to Highland Park Village. We went shopping, and now I'm going out to California with them to stay at their beach house.

I bet there's a hot tub.

[Caller/Guest]

[Caller/Guest]

Well, it's kind of different every time. I mean, okay, it's a conservative company.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

And like, so, like all my other shoes.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's conservative mean? The owners are Republican. They're perverts, too.

Known him all your life.

[Caller/Guest]

Whole life.

[John Clay Wolf]

Those are the worst ones. Why?

[Caller/Guest]

When's the last time you saw him? I saw him about two months ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so he's just you as a.

[Caller/Guest]

Grown up adult girl.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Why? Never mind.

[Caller/Guest]

[John Clay Wolf]

Because when I went to California, I.

[Caller/Guest]

Went to California with my Uncle Petey.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, God. That's totally different.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he hadn't seen me since I was 11, right?

[Caller/Guest]

[John Clay Wolf]

And we got a good shoot.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was supposed to be there for a week, Right.

[Caller/Guest]

Nine weeks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Whoa.

In the San Fernando Valley?

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't think that's a photo shoot.

[Caller/Guest]

I know. And it went so well.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the pictures were so good.

[Caller/Guest]

Then a guy asked me if I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wanted to do some movies.

[Caller/Guest]

Here we go. And all I had to do was pay him $500. And I didn't have $500 because that's when I bought my first car. Okay. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

So just be careful who you meet out there, of course. And it may not be the guy that's doing your shit, but photographers in California are just like. Like a club. And they all know each other. Okay. So don't meet anybody you don't already know. So would you describe the photographers? Aggressive. Yeah, of course. They're just like gonna attack me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Basically. They're artists. Okay, sweetie, baby, don't meet anyone you don't already know. Hey, Hannah, do you have any pictures of previous photo shoots?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, I do. On my computer. Not on my phone, though.

I heard on the big announcement that Rush Limbaugh was going to be on the show. I didn't realize he was gonna be on the show right next to Rush Limbaugh was, was the prince of darkness, Satan on the announcement.

[Michael Turley]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

Damn. You know, Rush, I would, I would be very offended that you were, you were slotted next to Satan in the rollout.

You know, John, I mean, I go with you with beyond benefit of the doubt. You don't need a writer or anything, but I don't put that guy right up next to me.

What have you got for us this morning, Rush? What's on your mind?

You know, the left wing liberal drive by media has gone crazy about the fact that our president, our fearless leader, Donald J. Trump said that Hurricane Florence was going to be extremely wet.

Of course.

Of course it is.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And now I hear this story coming off of why someone somewhere in Texas that Hurricane Florence is.

[J.D. Ryan]

How do they put that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Reidentifying as Hurricane Frank.

[J.D. Ryan]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that for real?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, that's not real.

[Caller/Guest]

Your guy Bob.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, Bobbo made that up.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's such a nasty man.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's a nasty guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would never go with that.

My. I'm gonna. Someone that I know well, that's in high school was telling me about three transgender kids in high school at her school.

And that depends on the school, the principal, but not a hurricane. And we want this thing here and gone. That's what the female names are all about.

[Caller/Guest]

They're gone.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Hurricane Florence wants to change her name to Hurricane Frank.

Ah, Hurricane Frank's gonna get a job and buy a dog, rent an apartment, stay forever. You'll never get rid of it. This is just bad posturing on the part of the National Hurricane center.

[Caller/Guest]

You heard it here first on the excellence in broadcasting.

Thank you, Rush Limbaugh. DJ Pre K. I need. I need you, bud. Dj, you there?

Indeed.

[John Clay Wolf]

So do you think it's okay for Hurricane to do the same? Oh, man. I mean, do you think it's okay for when you were in High school. You were a white guy. Did you identify as a black guy in high school?

[Michael Turley]

Oh, yeah, man. You know, I've been like this, baby. It. It ain't on me. It's in me.

[John Clay Wolf]

It worked out, you know, old Navy for fuba. See, you're transracial. It started at 13. You went and told your parents. And how did you explain it to your parents?

[Michael Turley]

I just said, hey, yo, mom, yo, check it out. You know, I gots to get down. How I get down. You feel me?

My dad was. You know, he was so high, he.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Michael Turley]

Oh, no, my dad is a good old hippie, man. He's down with whatever he said.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, man, let's do it. So has he ever thought about excommunicating from the church and going to the African side? Oh, man, my.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, it's another airplane story by jd.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's not my fault that these are dramatic, interesting stories that happen that just happened to be with aviation. I just happen to have an interest. A student pilot, 17 year old Maggie Tarasca, was on her very first solo flight. Remember your first solo, John?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

You're kind of a little nervous.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gainesville Airport, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, a little bit nervous. You're up there by yourself. But imagine if you lost one of the landing gear as you took off and the tower calls you and goes, we got some bad news. She literally lost one of the wheels came off as she took off. She didn't know it. And this is some of the Audio.

[Caller/Guest]

Warrior 2496X Ray Tower. Yeah, The Waco just said that your right main is now missing from the airplane. It has fallen off the airplane. Say your intentions. Can I circle back to land? Affirmative. Are you a solo, ma'?

[John Clay Wolf]

Am?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm a student pilot. Solo. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Just.

[Caller/Guest]

It'll be okay. Just go ahead and circle the airport for now. Make a right turn to circle. We're gonna get some people out to help you, okay? And you can make a right turnout. Okay? We'll get some people out to help you. Everything will be okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

She had an instructor, though, to help her.

[John Clay Wolf]

How do you help somebody in an airplane? You calm them down.

[Caller/Guest]

Listen here, Maggie, this is John. How you doing? I'm okay. Okay. You're doing a great job flying the airplane. We got plenty of time. You got plenty of fuel.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're missing a tire.

[Caller/Guest]

So just try to relax. And you always heard me say, go back to basics. So we're going to work the basics here as much as possible. Okay? All right. I know it's hard to say this, but treat it like as much as. Like a normal landing as you can. So the power settings. We've always done the pitch for the airspeed. Keep everything as a normal as you can.

[Michael Turley]

All right?

[Caller/Guest]

Should I drop the flaps now? Yeah, I want you reduced to about 2000, 2100 RPM. And under the white arc, drop the flaps and trim it for about 80. All right? Okay. So just like we've done it hundreds of times before, just. You're doing great. Keep doing what you're doing. Beautiful job, Maggie. You got a whole bunch of people clapping for you up here. Great job, Maggie. Excellent job.

[John Clay Wolf]

She landed it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Landed the thing. And it was. It was fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was it a tail dragger?

[J.D. Ryan]

It was. No, it was actually what's called a Piper Arrow, which is a retractable landing gear, single engine, airplane. And the right wheel just came off. Just spun off.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. She doesn't do her solo in a retract first round.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm telling you. I saw the footage. She was. It was not her first. She was her first solo cross country entry, by the way. It was not her first solo.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just have never seen anybody. I mean, it's happened, but I've never seen my. Start in a retract. Gear 16. Is that damn dog fart again? If that dog farted again, get his ass out of here. I'm serious. Get the damn dog out of here.

[Caller/Guest]

If you can't.

[John Clay Wolf]

If he can't stop farting, blowing the studio out. God almighty. JD I don't smell anything.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hold on.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't smell it? It's terrible. The dog is too old. He needs to be put down.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm gonna put you down.

[John Clay Wolf]

He needs to be put down.

Anybody got John's heart bills?

[J.D. Ryan]

Good Lord.

[John Clay Wolf]

The dog gets to be 14 years old, he starts dropping air baskets. Too wound up because I'm in a corner, there's no ventilation, and there's no window in this studio. And the dog farts on me every six months for seven years. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. Okay, let's go out in the parking lot, throw crap at each other's faces. Dog poo. Just throw it at each other. I think it's the best idea ever. We're just gonna do that.

Good morning. How the hell are you? So, Turley, we asked a moment ago, Boots in Vegas, he's missing. We had. We sent an employee to Vegas. He twisted off. Big surprise. Nobody knows where he is. He's gone. So won't answer him. We send it. We fly another guy out there last night to man the shop this morning over on Sahara Drive. And now he's gone.

[Michael Turley]

You're not gonna believe this, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I'm not. And this was my problem when we said, who do we want to send out there? And I started thinking about people. Hang on. And I was like, all the guys that could go out there and stay for a couple weeks.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

And spur the moment are single men. And I'm like, no, he'll twist off. And no, he'll twist off. And everybody I was thinking about is going to twist off. So the guy we sit is pretty square.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did Harry twist off or he's got a story.

[Michael Turley]

Well, and this story is very true because there's video to accompany this story. I texted him, just say, hey, man, call into the show. We want to see if you're at the office right now. And he says, dude, I'm stuck in an elevator. I've been stuck in the elevator for 45 minutes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm like, no, elevator. Where?

[Michael Turley]

No way. He's. So he sends me a photo and video. He's at Circus Circus. That's where that. Where we put them up at.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's pretty nice of us, John.

Really.

[J.D. Ryan]

John, he just found out.

[Caller/Guest]

He's.

[Michael Turley]

He's in a panic. He. The video shows him looking at.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did that cost? What's the room with Circus Circus? You don't care that he's stuck in an elevator. He's gonna get out.

[J.D. Ryan]

Where would you rather him stay?

[John Clay Wolf]

How much was the air? What did it cost me to emergency send this guy out there?

[Michael Turley]

I think it's like 70 bucks to stay there.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's real.

[J.D. Ryan]

Is not nice.

[Michael Turley]

Well, it's. Seeing that it's a fight night one way a fight weekend. The tickets were a little bit more pricier, but don't worry about that. He's stuck in an elevator, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he called in immediately, and he's.

[Michael Turley]

Got 3% left on his phone, too. So he is in a complete panic. There's. There's a picture of the cops looking at him as he's banging on the window.

[John Clay Wolf]

Get out of here.

[J.D. Ryan]

I just put the video up on the John Clay Wolf show page.

[Michael Turley]

This. This is.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't know, just cussing on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And now we're fixing to open an office in Baton Rouge, and we're sending Rob Ball down there. I mean, that. That is 45 minutes from New Orleans.

[J.D. Ryan]

These are people you've had in here that have twisted off in the past.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait, wait. At the office in Dallas.

[Caller/Guest]

Here.

[Michael Turley]

There is good news, though. He's stuck. It's 115° in the elevator. But he called down to the front desk and did get upgraded to a casino tower suite.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want him upgraded. I want a free night, okay? Free nights. No, I'm serious, okay? No upgrades. Just give me some free nights. Because the tickets, if they cost that.

[Michael Turley]

Much, okay, I'm gonna tell.

[John Clay Wolf]

My God. Everybody's wanting to double up their menu order instead of just get. God.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, so the video is now up on the John Cleveland Show.

[Michael Turley]

So now we have a buyer stuck in an elevator.

[John Clay Wolf]

Circus.

[Michael Turley]

Circus. And another buyer missing in Vegas, buried.

[John Clay Wolf]

In the desert or racked up with a hooker in Vegas, blown out on drugs. And I'm sure she's emptied his wallet. Douglas, Louisiana. 2012. No, no. 12. Longhorn Laramie. 164,000 mile, four wheel drive. Wow. You drive, don't you?

[Caller/Guest]

[Caller/Guest]

I was hoping for about 13.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I was hoping for about 110,000 miles. But yours has 164 on it.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll give 10,000. Are you taking it or you passing?

[Caller/Guest]

I'll go to. Give me the vin.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm gonna go somewhere where somebody's not a.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, somebody's gonna bow up on me and start getting snappy. You better have something to get snappy about.

[J.D. Ryan]

This is not the day. He's threatening to shoot my dog and kill a couple of our buyers.

[John Clay Wolf]

James. 11 Toyota Tundra Tacoma, TRD. Bunch of tees there. 115,000 mile, 4, whip average, rough or clean average. And 11, 11, 11, 11, 11th, 11, 11, 11, 12, 5.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, I'll go to give him an event.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. Thank you, Lance. In Oklahoma, J.D. i mean, you can't write these stories. We make fun of Oklahomans and their miles and how they all have 150000 miles on their cars driving back and.

[J.D. Ryan]

Forth to Texas to get good beer.

[John Clay Wolf]

The first guy that we calls in from Oklahoma this morning. Lance, you there? Lance?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I'm here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Tell everybody. How many miles are on your 07 Ram?

[Caller/Guest]

3, 500, 600, 000.

[J.D. Ryan]

Get out of here.

[John Clay Wolf]

It just won't end right now, brother. I'm sure you are. Yeah. He's a hot shot guy I guess.

[J.D. Ryan]

600.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, you know it's got 600 on it. So it's got 600. What the hell is that worth? What is that worth? Let me think. I'm sure it's in decent condition if it's just been running up and down the highway.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh yeah, yeah, it's in good shape.

[John Clay Wolf]

07. Two wheel drive with 600,000 miles eight foot bed. Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Carries 150 gallon of fuel.

[John Clay Wolf]

You, you better not get salty with me when I put it on the money.

[Caller/Guest]

There we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a five grand rig. Lance, you there? He hung up.

[Caller/Guest]

I wouldn't give you five grand for the motor.

[John Clay Wolf]

You wouldn't? So I'm over bidding it.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it worth?

[Caller/Guest]

It's a good truck, man. I wouldn't take no. Fine. Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Seriously, what would you take for the 600,000 mile 11 or 12 year old.

[Caller/Guest]

Truck you're probably gonna ship. But I wouldn't take under 15 for it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well you can't say s on the radio. You can't. Everybody listening this morning. Let, let's reset the rules for those of y' all who weren't watching the Super bowl back in 04 or whenever the hell it was when Justin Timberlake showed Janice Jackson's boob to the world.

[J.D. Ryan]

We have an issue.

[John Clay Wolf]

And Bono dropped the F bomb at the Grammys. You can't cuss on FCC airways. So anytime you guys cuss, I have to dump it. And then all the listeners like what happened? What happened? So. So if you won't take 15 grand for a 600,000mile 07 Dodge, first of all, you're. You're retarded.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Did you dump me? Gosh. First of all, you're an idiot. Second of all, you're wasting my time and everybody else's time listening. I don't know what the hell. Lose my number, lose my website, and go drive that thing off of a cliff. And when you do and the insurance company totals it, they're gonna give you four grand and you can go tell your. Your drunk Indian buddies at the bar up there that you should taken the bid from give me the vin.

And furthermore, on the keep it end, what kind of guy gets it to 600,000 and doesn't push for the million?

Agreed.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right. At that point, he is there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dodge will give you a new one.

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

800, 800.

[J.D. Ryan]

If you gave me five grand, I was blown away. I thought you were kidding.

[John Clay Wolf]

Actually, when I. When the words came out of my mouth, I thought, I think I just lost a thousand bucks.

[J.D. Ryan]

You were joking.

[John Clay Wolf]

His head turned all the way around. It was like the Exorcist.

600,000 miles. What?

[Michael Turley]

Update from Zayn. Our buyer in Vegas stuck at Circus Circus elevator. The fire department is on its way.

[John Clay Wolf]

Get the hell out of here. Shut up. Shut up.

[Michael Turley]

I'm sending a picture to JD right now to put it up on the website.

[John Clay Wolf]

The fire department's gonna. Okay, so we send the guy out there to rescue the guy that twisted off. And now he gets wasted in last night, stays up all night and he's late to work. And he is stuck in the Circ Circus elevator in Vegas heading to the give me the VIN office in Vegas to open the shop up. And the fire department's gonna have to hook him out of the damn elevator.

[Michael Turley]

Correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

Maybe this. And there's a reason I wanted to do this.com.com. turley. I didn't want to open by centers. I didn't want locations, I didn't want people, I wanted computers. And here we go.

You know the only person we open.

Our first physical buy center outside of our area. And look at what I'm running into. Yes.

The only person you could really feasibly send out there to set this office up. Maybe not run it, but set it up and train the employees. Nicole.

Nicole.

In this entire company, who's. No, who's going to handle that post haste, immediately prior to.

She's too attractive. She'll wind up. She'll, she'll, she'll be dancing in the show.

Oh, yeah.

Not. I don't mean the stripper show. I mean the high kick show.

Never mind.

I mean, who are we going to send to Vegas and not lose? If I sent you out there, Bob, oh, you twist off, you'd be gone. I love you.

I'd be fine. But I don't have a radio show to produce out there.

You know, we're on the radio out there. No, I, I. Turley. Okay, let's say we send Bobbo to Vegas to work. How long until he goes awol?

[Michael Turley]

Oh, I'd say Less than a week.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'd say less than. Less than a week.

When have I ever gone awol? Well, you honestly. I mean, when have I ever gone awol?

Yeah, but when. When you're out there for a quick weekend with. With your friends. That's different. When you're living out there and you're sitting in your apartment, you're like, wow, I could just go down the Strip and look around and I'm bored. JD's probably the only safe one.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah. Actually, to be honest with you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, he's safe, all right.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'd be bored out there, Brad.

[John Clay Wolf]

And Houston, a 12 Audi S4 with 90,000 miles. I'm thinking. God, I know. It's like an M3. It's a hot rod. It's. Is it like 12 grand or 10 grand? Is that right? We'll be back in a minute. Brady there?

Yeah, I'm here.

Yeah. Go to givemetheven.com. load it up. I want to see some pictures. I like these cars a lot. And I want to buy it. The S line. Not the S line, but the S4. Okay, we'll be right back. Do they have their tops off? Those guys are a bunch of. Broadcasting live from the Wolf Radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf.

[Michael Turley]

Show, presented by gimmetheven.com hit him up now. 800, 800 radio.

[Caller/Guest]

Now.

[John Clay Wolf]

John Clay Wolf. Did Ozzy play Dallas last week?

No, it's. I think it's next month. Like.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, it's in October, I believe.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I gave my tickets to discount Sean. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3. Put them on hold. Pre K. Chelsea, good morning. You're on the air. Chelsea, you there?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir, I am. How are you doing this morning?

[John Clay Wolf]

I am not a sir. I am just a john. What you got?

[Caller/Guest]

My mom raised me better, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, thanks.

[J.D. Ryan]

There you go, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Everyone that's ever called me sir has stolen money from me.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, I did it, man. Y' all. Your guys made me beg and barter, but we finally made a deal. I just wanted to call up and say thank you for purchasing my vehicle. I really do appreciate it.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did we buy?

[Caller/Guest]

You bought a lovely 2010 Chevy Silverado. 1500. Lt all nice and jacked up with NFAB skid plate and side rails and lovely LED bars in the front.

[John Clay Wolf]

When did we pick it up?

[Caller/Guest]

I believe y' all guys picked it up, sir, on Wednesday.

[John Clay Wolf]

So then I should have it by now because it we take it to. You're out of a South Texas, right? So we get. We Get. We gather them all up into a. In a loading zone and put them on 18 wheelers and nine packs and bring them up to Dallas. So we should have it by now. Cool. Somebody send me a picture of that truck. Sounds pretty. Well, Chelsea.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm glad it's on your Facebook page.

[John Clay Wolf]

Awesome. Oh, is there a picture of you standing next to it? We have the people take pictures with them.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir. You sure did. You actually posted it on your Facebook page, and it's a nice, big, old red, jacked up Silverado.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you have anybody else bid on it? I. I just wonder how much we outbid them by because it really makes me sick when I hear two. Great. So tell me, tell me.

[Caller/Guest]

So I had the Nissan dealership. They bid at. They did 11 at first, and then I walked out the door. Then they said, 14 5. And I said, no, thank you. And then y' all offered 16 for it straight out. And I said, okay, come pick it up today.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we outbid the Nissan dealership by $6,000 of their original bid?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow.

[Caller/Guest]

I've done everything. I oil change that vehicle myself. That's been my baby. And they. Yeah, they lowball me. And then I heard you one Saturday morning. I said, you know, I'm gonna give them a try. And sure enough, your first bid was 15. And I said, no, thanks. And then you said, okay, 16. Let's do it. I said, all right, do it. So then they came out, picked it up, signed the paperwork, took a picture, and they hauled it off.

[John Clay Wolf]

What if we would have come back at 15:5? Would we got it done there?

[Caller/Guest]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you sure?

[Caller/Guest]

On. I'm positive. I was. It's so funny because I was like, man, maybe I should have went to 16. 5. And I'm like, no, you know, it has 89,000 miles on. I was like, that did pretty good with it. You know, it's. I was like, y' all guys can go selling, you know, somebody else and get a good profit off of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what? We. You won't believe this, but we make 300 bucks a car. I mean, your. Your car may make a thousand, your car may lose 700, but when it's all washed out and you take the whole run, we sell nearly 500 cars a week. Buy and sell 500 cars a week, and the average is 300 bucks a car. I mean, when you do the math on that, that's still a lot of money. What's 500 times 300? 150,000. And that sounds like, oh, my God. You're getting rich. Well, hang on. We've got to pay a lot of people.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. A lot of folks.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we've got to pay a lot of advertisers.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, but I'm a yell at you.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Caller/Guest]

Really upset that you don't sell to the public.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can't do it. I can't. That's a whole different animal. It takes a whole. No, you just gotta.

[Caller/Guest]

You used to have your dealership still.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm just.

[Caller/Guest]

Come on, man. I really want a vehicle that says, you know, John Wolf show. You know, we will.

[John Clay Wolf]

What if we just get something like that that you can put on your car.

[Michael Turley]

When you sell something to us.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, my gosh. Y' all need to make a sticker.

[John Clay Wolf]

We need a bumper sticker. Bob O, do you have a pen handy?

Yes.

Bumper sticker. I sold that with the JCW logo on it. There you go. Thank you. Thank you. Chels. 800-800-7 2, 3, 4.

[J.D. Ryan]

As a throwback, by the way, Ozzy Osbourne is coming to Dallas, Wednesday, September 26th. Then he'll be in Houston the 28th, Friday.

[John Clay Wolf]

If he makes it that far.

[J.D. Ryan]

If he makes it that far.

[John Clay Wolf]

Smith in California. Hey, you there.

[J.D. Ryan]

Smith.

[John Clay Wolf]

It says Smith. Is that the last name or first name? Says the goods was based on a real story. Hannah, something, something. Are you there, guy? DJ. DJ, get line three woken up. 800-800-7, 2, 3, 4, 800, 800 radio. Just go to givemetheven.com Remember, if we don't beat a written CarMax offer, we'll send you a check for a hundred dollars. And if you're in Las Vegas, please go. Go to givemetheven.com and hit locations. It has our address on there. Go over there and see if our guys are there and go to Circus.

[J.D. Ryan]

Circus and watch our buyer get rescued out of the elevator.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's ridiculous.

[Michael Turley]

You can watch our buyer be removed from an elevator by the fire department.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that happening now?

[J.D. Ryan]

Right now.

[Michael Turley]

There.

[J.D. Ryan]

There's a picture.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is he on the ladder?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, the big ladder truck has arrived, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

So how are they gonna get. What the hell's a fire truck gonna do with an elevator problem?

[J.D. Ryan]

They always hoping they're never seen. The big thing where it says fireman key here they can open elevators.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, I thought they maybe bust the glass out.

[J.D. Ryan]

Be quite that dramatic. Yes. John's gonna get to fix the elevator.

[John Clay Wolf]

New Smashing Pumpkins. They came out with a new album.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, it's. This is not actually bad stuff here. It's very.

[John Clay Wolf]

It Rob, you know we get a lot of free tickets because we're in the radio business. And it. Rob happened to grab my Smashing Pumpkins ticket. Yeah, he says the best concert he's ever been to. I'm so glad you enjoyed that. It Rob. And thank you for bringing me with you because it's one of my favorite bands. I had no idea they were even in town. Hey, it Rob, the next time the Smashing Pumpkins are in town and I get free tickets to it, would you please invite me? Go ahead, Turley. Is the Chinaman still playing the bass?

I don't think so.

I don't.

Rob can tell you. For sure.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, he went to the show.

[John Clay Wolf]

I like that, though, John. That's kind of back to their melancholy and the infiniteness.

Sounds like they found an old clip. Yeah, it's almost as good as Van Halen coming back. No, it's better.

Old Billy Corgan's a smashing young man.

He's a good looking bastard, isn't he? I mean, he. He needs to be. Screw Hannah. She needs Billy Cordon's. Corgan's the beach model. He's got a head about the size of a pumpkin. Halloween's right around the corner. If you'd like to make a great Halloween. Jack o'. Leonard. I'd make it look like Billy Corgan. It's already. The hair is already ready for you.

800 new Smashing Pumpkins right around the bed.

College game day sports. What's going on, Turley?

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, it's a big college game day sport night.

[J.D. Ryan]

Spotlight.

[Michael Turley]

So right now, ESPN is live in Fort Worth, Texas, at TCU's campus. Because TCU plays Ohio State at. Jerry World didn't get the game at tcu.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Reason they didn't do that for, wonder. Yeah. If you're wondering why. Well, they would have had to play them three times. That means home, home and then home again at. So home at tcu, then home in Ohio State, and then again at Ohio State. Okay, so they didn't want to do that. One time's enough because I hate to say it. They're probably gonna get.

[John Clay Wolf]

They were scared.

[Michael Turley]

I think so, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where did you get this factoid?

[Michael Turley]

Well, it's because it's known fact not they were scared. It was a known fact that didn't want to play two games at Ohio State because Gary Patterson. Patterson said that.

[John Clay Wolf]

What a Patterson. I've met you before and I think you're a great coach, but that was a move. I mean, if you're. If you're gonna. Man, you Guys have been so great over the past decade and a half. You know it, I know it, and this is your chance to thrive. We've always wanted a tougher schedule. We always wanted to take on the big teams. You had a chance to play them three times and you said, no, we'll just stick our toe in the water.

[Michael Turley]

No, I think it's smart for them do it once because you, if you get beat two other times, you don't know how you're.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but you have to schedule these things out like five years in advance and you don't. You finally starting to load up. You got into a better conference, top five a couple of times. You've got a chance to play national powerhouses and be, finally get the, the attention and respect that you deserve and you don't take on your opponent. The real ones, the Alabamas, the Ohio states, I mean, how many times are we run around Fort Worth crying, bitching, saying we got screwed, we got screwed, we didn't get voted properly. And well, the strength of schedule. Well, here it is. And you pass.

[Michael Turley]

Well, because you have to play them at their home twice.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I mean, you can't win. You can't win. I don't care if we're gonna fight in the parking lot or we're gonna fight at the damn Con Convention Center. We're gonna fight if we're gonna, I mean, the best man will win. Yes. It's a three point favorite right at the home.

[Michael Turley]

No, they're 13 point dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. I mean, I mean just the average line change. So are you saying you agree with him?

[Michael Turley]

Yes, because they, if they played them three times, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Michael Turley]

They lose all three times, they never have a shot at the playoffs. This way they, they play them once, they get on the map, it's great publicity, right? Now they win out the season, guess what, they can make the playoffs, okay? The next year. They don't have to play them, they don't have in the schedule. They went out the season, they may have a chance of the playoffs.

[John Clay Wolf]

You have a point early that we're in a playoff system. I'm thinking back about when it was a horse show and people were voting, both got points.

But John is right too, Turley, because there's, they're still playing football no matter where they're doing it, right. They're playing the same game.

[Michael Turley]

Play them in the playoffs.

[John Clay Wolf]

So three years ago, what do we say? Look at the big sack on A and M going into the sec. What balls they have.

[Michael Turley]

How's that working? Out for him.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, the damn near beat Clemson this week.

[Michael Turley]

Well, they've got it. They had to pay up. They finally got a coach in there, Jimbo Fisher. They had to really pay up for it, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I wish the Cowboys would do that. Kevin in Missouri, good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

Good morning, John. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your show here in southwest Missouri.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you.

[Caller/Guest]

I've got a little thing I hope some of your radio hands will help you maybe look up. It's going viral here in Missouri.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Caller/Guest]

It's a small town in Missouri. Now, this is.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm not.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm not going false here. This is all true. You can look it up. It's called Uranus.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Caller/Guest]

It's a small. It's small town in Missouri. It's up in Pulaski County.

[John Clay Wolf]

We have that story.

Yes, we already had it loaded up.

[Michael Turley]

For today, in fact. Would you like to hear?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, Kevin, actually, when we start in St Louis in etc, we're going to need a inspector up there. We could. We could hire you as a, you know, inspect the cars that we buy. A Uranus Examiner.

Who wouldn't want to be in your a.

All right, what's the story, boss?

[Michael Turley]

So, J.D. you have the story There town in.

[J.D. Ryan]

Missouri called Uranus or Uranus is about to start a newspaper called Uranus Examiner. A reporter named Andrew Harewick did a feature on it which either is the worst assignment in his life or maybe the best.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lee, I'm live tonight in Uranus, which is actually a tourist attraction known best for their fudge factory and other attractions here. Well, it's not a city. Is that what you just said? What now? Lee, I'm live tonight in Uranus, which is actually a tourist attraction known best for their fudge factory and other attractions here. Well, it's not a city, it's a destination.

[Michael Turley]

Yes, that was. Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

There is a fudge factory in Uranus, Missouri? Yes. Not Missouri. Not San Antonio. San Antonio.

And there's an uproar about the name of the paper, the Uranus Examiner. They said their only other option was Constitution, the Uranus Constitution. And they went with this name and they're the mayor and everybody's pissed off at the name of it. What do you call it, though?

You know, I don't know.

[J.D. Ryan]

Times, maybe.

[John Clay Wolf]

Herald. Uranus Times?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, Uranus Times.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why don't they just change the name of the town if they're embarrassed about their name? Those aren't. Have you ever heard of Dumbass Texas?

[J.D. Ryan]

No.

[Michael Turley]

It's a Dumas.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's out There it's. I mean, just put one more S on it. You got it.

Coming to you live for the Triple.

D and D. Hang on. Brian Austin, good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, I saw the Austin date of that Smashing Pumpkins tour. And that wasn't just a regular show. The original lineups back. So yeah, James EHA and the rad drummer Jimmy Chamberlain were there and they only played songs off the first three albums, Dream and Melancholy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was Jackie Chan still doing the bass?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. You know, get more positive control over the tickets, man.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a.

[Michael Turley]

That's a show right there if they played all their early stuff.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. So that's why Rob it. Rob liked it so much. Thanks again. It Rob. It's just getting better. The hits keep coming. My God. And look at all these cars on the board. From Oklahoma. 298,000 miles. 240. 42,000 miles. 235,000 miles. The lowest one is 121,000 miles. What is wrong with Oklahoma?

[Caller/Guest]

They drive a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why are they trying to get out of there? Come to Texas.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oklahoma.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't throw away the kid, throw away the car.

We'll be right back. Cool. Kids never have the time. And now we return to the John Clay Wolf show. Presented by.

[Michael Turley]

Give me the vintage.

[John Clay Wolf]

I gotta start getting paid for this stuff. This is the John Clay Wolf Show. Okay. Smith. Smith in California.

[J.D. Ryan]

Smith?

[John Clay Wolf]

Smith, it's you. Are you on the phone?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, I am.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, now I can't hear you. Get in the damn microphone. Talking your phone.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, there you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

God. I'm okay. Stop. You've got to get off Bluetooth into your microphone on your phone so people can hear you. Let's. Hey, Smith, I'm going to come back to you in a minute. We're going to try this one more time. One more time. Carlos in San Antonio. Good morning. Carlos in San Antonio. Good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Caller/Guest]

Hello.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hello. Here's. Here's what I know. I see 16 Dodge Laramie 3500 dually with 300,000 miles. 4 wheel drive, leather roof. Nav.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So is it is Longhorn. Is it a Mega cab? Is it a crew cab?

[Caller/Guest]

It's. I'm not sure. I just thought it's the four door. I would say it's the crew cab.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, it's my. My dad's truck. He wants to trade it in. But he doesn't think he'll get good for it because of the miles.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's right. He's got a lot of miles.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where the hell is he going? Where was he driving in the middle of Mexico or Peru?

[Caller/Guest]

Once a month we do, we do hot shots. We drive a lot to Oklahoma and New Mexico. A lot. So it's a lot of miles going back and forth.

[John Clay Wolf]

But you guys are getting four wheel drive trucks. So you're knocking three miles a gallon off per mile. I mean per. Duh. Three miles off per gallon with a four wheel drive versus a two wheel drive. You're driving that much. Think about what that's costing you a year in fuel extra.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I've told him but I mean it's, it's the, it's a truck that he likes. He likes a 35 ram, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, but it's leather roof. Nav does 10,000 buy it. It's a 300, 000 mile truck.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. 10,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, well I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be too sure. Like I said, like it's for my dad. So I'm really trying to get estimates. But I've heard you guys on the radio so I thought I'd give you guys a call.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did.

[Caller/Guest]

So It'd be about 10.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm thinking 10. I mean when's the last time I bought a 300,000 mile 16 Dodge Laramie? Never. Yeah, I have. I just don't remember it. It's just not. So it may be worth a little more than that. Go to givemetheven.com send us some pictures. Let's see what we're looking at, guys with these stupid crazy high mile trucks. Just go to the website, give me the vin.com and don't do it without pictures because we can't even think about it without pictures on, on these trucks. Okay, thank you for listening though. Hey, do you listen which station we're on in like two different stations in San Antonio? The AM sports talker and then the FM country.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm on the AM 760.

[John Clay Wolf]

Got you the ticket. Well, good morning San Antonio. Good morning to you, Carlos. San Antonio and California. I'm gonna have to brush. I'm at. To brush up on my Spanish.

You know what? You should anyway.

I should. Anyway, we all should. Okay, is everybody ready to give Smith a try? He's been trying to talk for two hours now.

[J.D. Ryan]

No Bluetooth, no speakerphones. Just talk into your phone.

[John Clay Wolf]

Port Lo. Smith.

Smith, are you there?

[Caller/Guest]

Wow, thanks. I couldn't even tell you were talking to me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now I hear you perfectly. What have you got, sir?

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, so I am actually a California transplant to Texas. I was originally born in Anaheim, but I live most of My life in Temecula.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, my God. Yeah, big city. Did you work in a high rise?

[Caller/Guest]

No, no, no. But the area is actually kind of referred to as Temecula Murietta because they're so close to each other, they basically bleed into each other. Okay, but I've got two things for you, which is a little bit of a story about some of the characters from the movie and a little bit of advice for Hannah.

[John Clay Wolf]

The movie the Goods. Okay, hit that quick. Go ahead.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay. All right, so some of the characters out of that were actually based on very real people. Specifically, the really gay car salesman was actually the boyfriend of my sister's grade school teacher. He came to pick him up regularly, they regular basis.

[John Clay Wolf]

And were they gay?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, completely. Everybody knew about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, awesome. What else?

[Caller/Guest]

What is it? The freaking little Christian hip hop band in that movie? Yes, those goofballs were real. I drove by their church all the time.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's talking about the movie the Goods with Jeremy Piven from about eight years ago.

[Caller/Guest]

We were.

[John Clay Wolf]

We were riffing on it last week and. Yeah, I heard that you've been thinking about it, huh? So, hey, I've got a question. You know what's funny is for years, this show will never syndicate. This show will never work outside of Texas. Y' all are too Texan. Y' all are. You won't be accepted in any other market. So we go to Pennsylvania, the hottest, the biggest pant fan base, super fans we've ever had or out of out of that area.

[J.D. Ryan]

Loved it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Zzo.

And then now we're out in California. Last week we had what, seven people call and say, love the show, telling everybody about it, this and that. So if you're from there and now you live here and you've heard us do we, will we be accepted in California? Probably.

[Caller/Guest]

But the thing was, is most everybody who was smart, got out in 2010, was starting out again. My dad was like, oh, hell no, we're not going through this. I don't remember the last time that idiot came in. Well, you're not doing the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, they're just so worried about my non PC nature is going to get people offended and get us all in trouble. He's not a hater, he's a Texan. He's the accidental racist. And is everybody really that sensitive out there?

[Caller/Guest]

Really not. Most of them that you're probably worrying about are probably up in like Berkeley or something.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not worried about them. Everybody else is mean. What are they, aliens or something? In Birkenstocks and they just can't mean. Thank you, John and Silsby. Good morning. Hey, what you got?

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, y' all got an awesome show, brother.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you.

[Caller/Guest]

This is Johnny calling from Pancras, Texas. I'm originally from. I live in Silsby, Texas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

But I got some. I got the best theory on Boots missing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

You said earlier in the beginning, beginning of the show that he was out there to receive equipment, set up the office and you mentioned a check printing machine.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is correct. When I said that I thought, well, that's what I didn't want to let everybody know. And so you were listening closely. So what's your theory?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, the theory is he either got robbed of the check print machine or he took it. And in having a good time with.

[John Clay Wolf]

It, the check printing boots is on drugs with prostitutes and running down the road with a check printing machine in the back seat in Vegas. In Vegas. That's perfect. Zane is stuck in the elevator. Our other buyer, and he's on hold. We're gonna have to get to him in just a minute. Zane, hold tight. I want to hear what the hell's going on out in Vegas. My name is John Clay Wolf. We buy cars on the radio. Oh yeah. We're back.

[Michael Turley]

Back to the John Clay Wolf show presented by givemethevin.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

Everyone be quiet.

Why are you so Grumpy? Call in 800-800-RODIO.

[Caller/Guest]

I hate the sun.

[Michael Turley]

I know. Sun bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wake up and snort the coffee. And now senor Juan Clay Wolf. Speaking of snorting the coffee, I'm glad that we've got the coffee machine and the iced tea machine in the ice maker down in the buyer's room. But slick, however, I paced myself with one cup of Starbucks. And now I'm into like number six because I know, because we have a coffee machine here and I'm like gonna stroke out here in a minute.

[J.D. Ryan]

Delicious.

[John Clay Wolf]

If I'm not stroking out, you ain't.

I'm getting a little tweaky. Little tweaky. Little coffee tweaky. It's no, it's no good.

You gotta put it down in third gear. Feel the burn.

Brian in Houston, good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, this is Brandon.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Brandon.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey. This has been listening this morning. Sounds like you need a business manager. Handle all this openings that you're doing in the U.S. okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

I'd be that guy for you.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, all right.

[Caller/Guest]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you're hired. Brandon, come on up. Do this. Go to [e-mail]. throw your resume on there. It'll come to me and I'll get with you off air.

[Caller/Guest]

All right. Sounds like plan.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's what we need. Somebody else to be stuck in an elevator.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we're going to be hiring buyers. All the whole country is going to be based. The buying department's gonna be based out of headquarters in Dallas, Texas. But we're going to have. Anyway, if you. If you're interested in coming to work for the company as a buyer or a title clerk or an accounts payable driver, drivers go to jobs. GiveMeTheEven.com and apply because we're fixing to go through a whole nother hiring phase here in about 45 days. Zane in Las Vegas. Speaking of people that work for giving me the vin, how are you doing?

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, what's going on, John? Guys.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, so you got on an airplane yesterday to go replace the guy that. We have boots that twisted off and went AWOL, right?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, yeah. 5:00 clock yesterday.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you were in Vegas now and then you got stuck in the elevator this morning?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I had an epiphany that boots might be at the top of the hotel on the roof. So I woke up as early this morning. Morning. And went to the top of the roof and got stuck between the second and third floor for about an hour and a half.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hour and a half in elevator. How did you get out?

[Caller/Guest]

So the fire department. Well, they tried security first. Security tried as if I needed ambulance. And then maintenance guys came and then the firefighters came and they took about 15, 20 minutes. And I saw an ax come through the door and they shut up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Stop it.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, yeah. They put the. They put the axle right through the middle. And I pried it open.

[John Clay Wolf]

And was it on a level or was it in the middle of the shaft?

[Caller/Guest]

No, it was about maybe two or three feet away from the third floor.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you could just step out.

[Caller/Guest]

We were like right in the middle. Yeah, yeah, I got to step out like a couple feet up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where are you now? Like right now?

[Caller/Guest]

Right now I am on the way to our Vegas office to get that underway. Get that going.

[John Clay Wolf]

But do you have a computer? Because I've heard that he got a laptop, not a desktop. So you're gonna be out there. Will not be able to log into our system.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be. I have my laptop with me. I actually had it open in the elevator to charge my phone because I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was gonna say if you don't just go by the store and buy. Buy a desktop. We need a desktop out There, I mean, laptop looks like. We're not there to stay. We're very much there. I said I signed a five year lease. It's not like we're going away.

[Caller/Guest]

The laptop looks pretty small on the desk there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Will you stand out in front of Carmax naked and say if I don't, if I don't beat your CarMax offer, I'll give you 100 bucks. But they're right next door. Grab some gal. Hey, do this, do this, do this, do this. I'm serious. I'm real serious. Call these. You know, they have all those flyers around Vegas with those hookers and all that stuff. Call. Get a gal in a bikini. Let's get a sign made. And we're right next to CarMax on the Strip on Sahara Drive in Vegas. And she needs to stand out there with a sign with saying, you know, give me the vin.com. if we don't beat your CarMax offer, I'll give you a blood. No, I'll give you 100 bucks.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I've got the perfect girl in mind.

[John Clay Wolf]

John, do you have somebody with you?

[Caller/Guest]

No. I started my search for Booth yesterday at the Spearmint Rhino.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on.

Did you, did you find Boots?

[Caller/Guest]

All right, so I mean, I started at the Spearmint Rhino and after about an hour with Cindy, 160 later, I got some promising leads to check out some of the massage parlors off the Strip. So I'm. So I met with some of those girls till about 2, 3 o' clock in the morning. Still no, still no sign of Boots. So, I mean, that's why I went to the top of the hotel this morning to go look for.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you in the car right now?

[Caller/Guest]

I am in the car right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does the Uber driver have us on the, on the radio? What, what station are we on? The mountain? I don't know, the.

[Caller/Guest]

93 one. Yeah, comes in. Good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, okay, okay. I'll talk to you in a bit. Have a good day. And if there may be people there waiting on you because we've been looking for Boots. We've lost a person. We've. Man down, man overboard. We had to send his replacement in a Navy seal, Zane. And we're going to keep buying the cars all day. They can kill us, they can snowball us. We will not stop. We will beat CarMax life or death. And get, get us a good looking gal to stand in because there are next door neighbors. I got the place right next door to them in the Lexus store, in the BMW Store and all those guys that work there, if they want to whip their trade ins over to you, if they want another bid, they can drive over to the. Give me the VIN office right there and you'll run out there and zap it with your phone and we'll. We'll give them another number. And that's really the idea is I want to be in these areas where all the business is going down so we can be another appraisal. We buy cars from dealers all the time. And we're there in Vegas to do that from. Not just to beat the hell out of CarMax, but to help the dealerships put deals together also. Zane, thank you very much. And that goes for every. Every city that is listening. Any of these guys, used car managers of these dealerships, you know, salesmen. Don't blow my system up with your stuff unless you're. Unless you're used car manager. We don't deal with the sales guys unless you're a leasing company. We deal with a used car manager because they might want to hold on the trade and they do. That's their prerogative. But we will give another number and you can go to givemetheven.com and deal with our professionals and we buy the cars, man. That's what we do from the public, from the dealers, from the trade ins, from the auctions. You know how it works. Okay. Speaking of, this is the guy who.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sent out to rescue the guy that we lost. And he's been in the elevator and already searched now girls less than 24 hours.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is wrong with you, J.D. you're gonna wind up having to go.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm gonna have to go out there.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're the only straight square guy we have. They're probably gonna turn you homo. But. But you know, it happens. It happens.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'll take one for the team.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I'm not, you know, and I say that in the most politically correct way I can. I don't think so. Yeah, Exactly. I'm not a 15 Texas edition with 84000 miles extended cab not crew. Is that right, Randy?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Average rover clean.

[Caller/Guest]

Excuse me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right off the top of my head. 84000 miles. 15 grand. 14 grand. 1415 run to give me the VIN dot com. Put the license plate number and push a couple pictures. We'll get to it. Gary in abilene, Texas. A 14 VW Passat 67,000 miles. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up. I don't want to do on the radio. Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

All Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mike In Houston, the 15 Civic 54, is it leather, cloth, two door, four door, four average, rough or clean?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm gonna say average.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does nine grand buy it?

[Caller/Guest]

Say that again.

[John Clay Wolf]

8, 9,000 bucks. 8, 9,054, 000 miles, right?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does that work?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm a little upside down.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, he's asking somebody else. And remember this, we don't deal with anybody that doesn't own the car. We don't deal with third baseman, we don't deal with friends. We want to talk to the person that makes the decision. Because you can't make a decision for your friend. And we're doing real business. We're not. This isn't some crappy little site that like throws numbers around and gives opinions. We're writing checks. It's not a book, it's a checkbook. It's real and it's live. And I mean, it'd be like sending someone to the store to buy your clothes. If you're, if you're hurt, then you would do that. But otherwise we need to deal with the people themselves.

[J.D. Ryan]

Correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Baby born in car.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, a guy was driving his wife to the hospital while she was in labor. You'd think maybe he'd pay attention to the road, but oh no, she started delivering the baby right there in the car. There's video of this and we have the audio from that video. Instead of pulling over and maybe helping, the guy just kept driving and video and taping. Here's the audio from that. That's the wife.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can you wait like two minutes?

[Caller/Guest]

Hold on, hold on.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's coming out.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's driving. Videotaping.

[John Clay Wolf]

I wonder if she was yelling that loud during the conception.

Yes.

[Caller/Guest]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Michael Turley]

Telling her.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait, wait, wait, hold on, baby. Just hold on. Hold it down, hold it down. You got.

We've all like witnessed a delivery, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

Alive, right? Well, I have.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's harrowing.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's awful.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, man, it's.

[J.D. Ryan]

And the baby literally is born right there in the car. You can see it on the video.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you ever pulled a calf, Bobo?

Yes.

[J.D. Ryan]

Pulled a calf.

[John Clay Wolf]

They. They take it pretty well.

Well, yeah, they, they don't, they don't have a vocabulary, you know, but they don't really move.

They just let Baby mome. The podcast goes up at 2:01 o'clock today for any of those who missed the previous hours of the show. And we're going to lose a couple affiliates at the top of the hour. And if you'd like to continue on with our number Four, if we lose it in your city, go to john claywolf.com, click the listen live stream at the top, and it'll turn it right back on.

[Michael Turley]

Still looking for Boots, by the way, in Vegas.

[J.D. Ryan]

Still have not found him. But the guy that we sent out to find Boots got out of the elevator.

[Michael Turley]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he's looking at all. All the right places.

My Lord.

[J.D. Ryan]

What else do you want to hit some news before we get out of here?

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to know why we got fired. Why I got fired? What is that about?

That's a great bit.

I've got a minute and a half.

Fallon on the Tonight show does these great bits where he really carries it on. Okay. And he reads people's tweets. The dumbest ways you can get fired from a job.

Okay, some of my favorite why I.

Got fired stories from you guys.

[Caller/Guest]

Here we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

First one's from Matt Michelle 010. She says I was hired to bartend with no experience whatsoever. I got fired when someone ordered a rum and Coke and I asked, what's in a rum and Coke? This one's from AR Chef Pro.

He says, a friend of mine called.

[Michael Turley]

Into work to say she was sick.

[John Clay Wolf]

The manager said, I don't believe you. So my friend responded, well, then I'm calling in drunk.

Thank you.

One's from HollyB32. She says, My friend decided to vent.

[Michael Turley]

On Facebook about how much she hated her job. She accidentally tagged her boss in the Post. They fired her in the comments. Oh, we hear excuses downstairs. The buyers all the time. In fact, I'm sure we'll have a great excuse if we find.

[John Clay Wolf]

If we find Boots. Yeah, unless he's dead and buried in the. In the.

[Michael Turley]

In the Nevada desert, we don't want to go there. Hopefully.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's one of my favorite movies. Casino. And in Big. In Big C. Not Big Z. Big Z. Bugsy. Bugsy Siegel.

Oh, yeah, Warren Beatty. Yeah.

I'll listen to stupid reasons you got fired. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Remember, go to. Give me the VIN. Give me the VI. N.com Highline cars. Hey, we got that. Turley, did you buy that 13 Ferrari California.

[Michael Turley]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

With 8, 000 miles. Okay, so we're getting that Monday.

[Michael Turley]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

That would be a good car to send out to Vegas for me to drive while I'm there there at the iHeartradio. IHeartradio Music Festival next week.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, baby.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would rather just buy one out there. So if anybody has a fancy car in California or Vegas, go to givemetheven.com and load it up because I need a driver for this Thursday when I'm out there. Everybody else going in hour number four. Be right back. Senator Ted Cruz said that liberals want Texas to be just like California. Right down to tofu and silicon and dyed hair. From the Wolf Radio studios, it's time to for the John Clay Wolf show. Really, Ted Cruz, you're coming out against dyed hair. Call John toll free.

[Michael Turley]

Cheap bastards.

[John Clay Wolf]

1-800-800-Radio. Your hair is so black, it voted against you. Now, John Clay Wolf.

And it's probably true.

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Randy and Burke Burnett, good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's up?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, good morning. Hey, I'm calling for your neck of the woods down here in Burke Burnett.

[John Clay Wolf]

John. Yeah, I was there for a little.

[Caller/Guest]

While just to give you an on air plug.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, you bought my motorcycle from me back at the end of May or June.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

And I've been meaning to call in earlier than Mitch. I want folks out there to know everything you're advertising, everything you're saying is the gospel truth. That experience was awesome. Your young man showed up here. The whole thing took 10 minutes. The signing, the paperwork. He handed me a check, I went to work, he loaded the bike and he was gone. And you, hands down, gave me the best offer that I found of anybody around here. Trying to sell it on a contingency. Couldn't sell it on my own. Gave me a fair price. The check was gold. Awesome things, John. I appreciate it.

[John Clay Wolf]

What kind of bike was it?

[Caller/Guest]

2008 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 classic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Awesome. I don't remember it, but. But that doesn't mean that it didn't happen. I know it happened. We've got Randy. We've gotten so busy that I don't even know what I've got anymore. I'm not kidding. I have no idea. It's. I used to remember every car we had, every car we sold, every car, everything. I don't even know. Hell, I don't even know who works there anymore.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, folks that are out there tried to sell bikes or cars. I think they learned the hard way. By the time they pay for ads and trying to sell it on their own, they don't really ever do any better than what you're offering. And I have friends that have done deals like that. And the check that people wrote them bounced. And then they're in that nightmare trying to get the car back and you know what? Who needs that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Nobody. No, I agree. We have a worldwide market. I have a market that, you know, how do we pay so much? It's just I have a network, you know, where to put national, you know, very strong nationally. And then on some cars, it's worldwide. And so we can just pay a little more than. Than everybody else or sometimes a lot more. It sounds like some of these people that call and say that, you know, hey, we outbid their guide by, well, that lady a minute ago, $6,000. You know, that makes me wonder if we're paying too much sometimes. But I appreciate it, Randy. I appreciate a lot. 800-800-7 2, 3, 4, and good morning, Wichita Falls, Texas. If he's in BURKE Burnett, it's KYYI 104.7. The bear. Is it? 104.7. Is that right, Bob?

Yeah.

So speaking of Pete getting fired by job on jobs.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Play that other clip.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, from Jimmy Fallon.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jimmy, yeah. Why I got fired?

[J.D. Ryan]

Reasons the people got fired.

[John Clay Wolf]

This one's from Patchwork Greg. Ooh, that sounds scary. He says, my friend used his iPhone.

[Michael Turley]

To call the call center he worked at, then talked to himself for a couple hours to look like he was working. This one's from Hweer222.

[John Clay Wolf]

He says, I was a cashier at.

[Michael Turley]

Fuddruckers and one day, out of boredom.

[John Clay Wolf]

We tried to ring up a million.

[Michael Turley]

Dollars worth of food on my register.

[Caller/Guest]

Quarter way to our goal.

[John Clay Wolf]

The computer froze.

[Michael Turley]

Service was halted for 18 minutes while.

[John Clay Wolf]

The receipt printed.

[Michael Turley]

Last one's from Megan Mary, 19. She says, I brought my Dunkin Donuts.

[John Clay Wolf]

Coffee into my job at Starbucks.

There you go.

Bob. Speaking of Wichita Falls and kyyi, I mean, you were. Do you have any getting let go stories?

I worked there. I was let go. All of a sudden, one day, I think a few of us were back there.

So you got. Hang on. Get this, J.D. we're on a radio station that Bobbo got fired from.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Actually, Dallas. Yeah, actually, in Dallas, we might be on a radio station that you've been fighting.

[J.D. Ryan]

Absolutely. We absolutely are. A radio station I got fired from.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, this is. This is great. It's like a reunion. So do y'.

[Caller/Guest]

All.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do y' all have any things you want to scream at the people that let you know?

[J.D. Ryan]

Those people are long.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you want to give any shout outs? No.

[J.D. Ryan]

Maybe not in Baba's case.

[John Clay Wolf]

First. First six, eight weeks after that. Now, listen, I'm a radio kid. I've done this since I was 17 years old and I was Let go. All of a sudden one day, you know, when the corporation stations took over these stations, they downsized big time. And it was the first time. And they wait until you have an old lady and three kids to do it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure. Of course. I had just had a baby. I just had a baby.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not kidding. First eight to 12 weeks after that when you're not on the air all of a sudden and you've been on the air for 13 years.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it freaked me out a little bit. I went through it, you know.

But why did you get let go? What was the reason?

Because the programming guru in Atlanta said they were going a different direction.

[J.D. Ryan]

Our program director was on cocaine. He actually came back to me about 20 years later and apologized.

[John Clay Wolf]

Buzz Bennett?

[J.D. Ryan]

Nope, that's a difficult one. I'm not gonna mention his name.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that guy still Buzz Bennett I.

[J.D. Ryan]

Haven'T heard from in years. He was the most bizarre, smartest program director I've ever worked for. Brilliant man, but bizarre. Just weird. Had a panther in his apartment in Irving.

[John Clay Wolf]

We advertise on a station in. In a. We advertise on two stations in Dallas Fort Worth that Turley's been fired from.

[Caller/Guest]

Really?

[Michael Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You were let go from one because the downsizing, but one, you just got fired.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, Plain straight fired from the ticket 13:10.

[John Clay Wolf]

The ticket.

[J.D. Ryan]

Any reason?

[Michael Turley]

I was helping out a friend that worked at another show, you know, hey. He's like, hey, can you give me this guest? I'm like yeah, no problem. Didn't think any big of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sharing gas zombie.

[Michael Turley]

It happens all the time. You happen to be in a rob zombie.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay.

[Michael Turley]

And I, I guess this is where biggest mistake was. I left an email saying hey, this is so and so. We'd like to have you on the show for this person. And I guess the program director found it or somebody. I, I'm more thinking that somebody found it and sabotaged me cuz they were worried about their job and gave it to the program director. And there goes my job.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. And what did. How did he call?

[Michael Turley]

He was out of the blue, called me in the office and said what's this? I was like, oh yeah, that's just an email I sent out helping out somebody that was worked at the station before he got fired too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Richard Hunter.

[Michael Turley]

Yes. And so he's like, well, lives in Vegas now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mention any names?

[Michael Turley]

He's like, you can't do that. I'm like, I can't do that. Why? I was like, people do this all the time. Constantly. No, we, we don't do that here because we're an upstanding. We're a team, and you're helping out the enemy. I was like, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

So why do you think he blasted you instead of giving. Just giving you a warning?

[Michael Turley]

Because if he didn't like the person that I was hoping, yeah, there was more. He fired that person.

[J.D. Ryan]

Always.

[Michael Turley]

It's all drama.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's stupid.

There's a lot of politics in radio, though, boys, and you know that. You know, you guys been in nearly as long as JD at the time.

[Michael Turley]

I didn't see it until then. That's when I really knew. I mean, I. You hear about it and stuff, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I've never been fired by a radio station because I've never been hired by radio station.

[Caller/Guest]

Congratulations.

[J.D. Ryan]

But did you ever get fired?

[John Clay Wolf]

You were never.

No. I worked at Hillard Ford the summer between high school and college, and my brother was working there. And when he went to be a pharmaceutical rep, he got me a job there at 18. And I got fired from there by Rick Canellini and went down. Yeah, the Laney. And I went down the street. Street. I got fired for three. Not doing my daily activity report. And it was the third ride up, and, like, I had something I didn't have a tie on. One day, I forgot what it was, but I got fired and I went down the street to another dealership and walked right in and started there that day. That summer, I worked at two different dealerships and made, like, $10,000 before I went to college. I took a fax machine with me to college, and I continued to. To hook up people with cars.

[Caller/Guest]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

And so I've been doing this crap. So, I mean, that's 91. What year are we in now?

[J.D. Ryan]

This is still 18.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. What's the math on that?

27.

[J.D. Ryan]

18.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, so when I say it, I've been in the car. I've been in the wholesale business for, like, 20 years. How is it fair to say I've been in it for 27 years?

Yes.

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

You've been doing it 27 years.

[John Clay Wolf]

God Almighty. What? Somebody put a bullet in me. Why?

[Michael Turley]

You can do so great.

[J.D. Ryan]

Look at this company exploding, man. Wasn't that long ago it was you and Turley and Connie.

[John Clay Wolf]

When I got into this mess, I was done. I didn't want to get back into the cars.

[J.D. Ryan]

There's a time you were. You wanted to close this whole thing down. And it wasn't that long ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

It wasn't that long ago.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it wasn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. I was I was inventorying the radio studio. Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

You were going to sell this equipment, and we were going to say, that's it. Yeah, I totally remember that. And now look at it.

[Caller/Guest]

Gosh. Exploding.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now we're looking for new equipment, huh?

[J.D. Ryan]

New equipment, new people. There's people here I don't even know.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what's weird is I knew all along this is going to happen if I could get cleared on the right station all along. And I kept telling my wife, because we were going to redo our house about three years ago and had the plans, had the builder, they're out there. She's like, finally, we're going to do it. Finally. And I promise, promise, Mom, I work to do this. And then this thing started hooking up, and I said, hang on. I need that money. I want to try one more thing. One more thing. And she's like, what now? I'm like, trust me on this.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

And we rebranded from Go Wolf to Give me the vin. I got the trademark for Give me the vin.

[Caller/Guest]

And we.

[John Clay Wolf]

We did this. And that one more thing was the right thing.

[J.D. Ryan]

Over the top. You worked harder to get a radio video than any man I've ever known in my life, ever.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what's so funny, is people like.

[J.D. Ryan]

You know, that's a great product.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go get after it. Go get you some.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is just so easy to go get this done. Oh, my God. I mean, it's just great. Stupid.

[J.D. Ryan]

Burn doors down.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's just stupid. And we're still doing it. We're still having to fight when we're growing and we're already on these big networks. Networks. In every market we go into, it's the same effing conversation. We even have people inside those companies say, no, here's the data. Here's the station revenue. Not revenue ratings before the show started. A year after and two years after, on big stations, they've gone up.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not saying we did it, but we damn sure didn't hurt anything.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it's a consistent pattern because the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Program director's like, oh, my God, if we do this, it's going to screw us all up. All the car dealers will stop advertising. No, they won't.

[J.D. Ryan]

Not at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, guys.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, gosh, it's Elliot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, it's our program. It's our. It's our. It's our house, Mom.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's our program.

[John Clay Wolf]

Program directors, it's me, Elliot, your program guru.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's our guru.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

You know, I noticed all the beaters last Week.

[J.D. Ryan]

Every time you talk about program directors.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

People perk up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Those meters go sky high. Now, according to company policy, I'm supposed.

To tell you that's bad, but it ain't.

[Caller/Guest]

It's working for you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hold on.

Did I say that?

[J.D. Ryan]

You said that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I gotta get off of this ambient, boys.

Keep up the good work, fellas. Thanks, Ella. What he's talking about is the meters. In the Nielsen ratings, people have meters that they sign up for, like little pagers that you wear to carry around. And it measures their listening habits and that's how they judge you. So in a city like the size of Dallas Fort Worth, it's five and a half, six million people. They have 1200 people with meters. Now, on a Saturday morning, how many meters are up and about half 50. Yeah. Early that 8 o' clock hour.

Hey, maybe 20 time. 1200 is not a cross sectional representation of anything.

Well, out of 6 million people, so. So 1 meter makes a difference.

[J.D. Ryan]

Makes a big difference.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's ridiculous. There's no way to measure it properly. But yeah. Well, you know what I really want to do, Turley? We need to figure this out. We need to get a hold of the guys at Sirius XM and we need to do a show on there.

[J.D. Ryan]

Absolutely. Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where we can cuss and talk about things that we can't talk about. Or we can. Because I think it's the only thing that's going to keep me saying because these guys have cranked me down so much and kept me from being able to speak my mind. So would you do it in a.

[J.D. Ryan]

Different show or just replace this absolute.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. We just do another one.

[J.D. Ryan]

Another show?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

God, I'm sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, I'm sorry, everybody. JD's fix to get fired from another radio gig.

[J.D. Ryan]

This time it's not even my fault.

[John Clay Wolf]

It wasn't your dog. It's you. It's. Again. Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, I think it is jd.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is. Absolutely. Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going outside and y' all finish the show.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay?

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'll be back.

[J.D. Ryan]

You don't be leaving. Don't go. He's leaving.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not gonna sit here in your gas.

[Michael Turley]

Wait, where's Pre K? He's got. He's got a good story on what they are on Prek. You awake over there?

[J.D. Ryan]

We also have some strip club.

[Michael Turley]

All right, help. Help us out right now. John had Al. John's left. Yes, because. So his dog show now. No, JD's dog just farted and we're trying to fight through it. So you're in a glass box.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. It's the DJ Free K Show, everybody.

You finally arrived.

[Michael Turley]

Damn. Deal, Baby, it's going down for real. Please tell us what they are on. Okay, yeah, hold on. Let me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let me pull it up.

[Michael Turley]

I smelled this time.

[J.D. Ryan]

Did you?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm sorry.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right. He will never. I'll never bring the dog back. My poor dog.

[Michael Turley]

All right, let's see. So, yeah, I'm gonna read a little story, and y' all can guess what they were on. You know, this is an outrageous one. Let's see. We got a man in Tennessee dealing with some heartbreak. He's chilling, doing what he does, you know, minding his own biz, having a quick meal at the local Popeyes when he sees his ex boo in a car with another player.

[John Clay Wolf]

What?

[Michael Turley]

So he does what any unsober person would do, confronts the couple and throws a biscuit, quote, unquote, really hard, right at his ex's head. Now, a quick side note. If you know Popeyes like I know Popeyes, the way to hurt somebody with one of their biscuits is isn't to hit him with it.

[J.D. Ryan]

No.

[Michael Turley]

It's to make them eat it with no drink. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Michael Turley]

But anyways, our culprit is also charged, or he also charged at the new couple's vehicle, beat the hood a little bit and told them he was going to lay the murder game down. So, of course, the boys in blue showed up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[Michael Turley]

Put him in the car, where he continued to beat his head inside the cruiser. They took him in and charged him with possession, vandalism, and assault. So what y' all think?

[J.D. Ryan]

This song with a deadly biscuit.

[Michael Turley]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jesus.

[Michael Turley]

So a guy went mad at him, Popeyes to throw a biscuit. What kind of drug was he on?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, that's gotta be.

I was gonna say alcohol, but if they charge, they don't charge you with possession of alcohol.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, he's meth. That's gotta be method. Makes you so edgy.

[Michael Turley]

Nah, I think it's. No, it's the white dragon.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think so.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah. To go that crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

I mean that. To throw a biscuit.

[J.D. Ryan]

Biscuit, Right. Seriously, Sound like. Continue to bang his head. So you know it wasn't marijuana.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[J.D. Ryan]

Can you bang his head inside the patrol car?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I'm gonna go with.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm gonna go with. I'm gonna stay with meth. You're going with coke when you got baba. What's that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Shroom.

I learned that word from Preko.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, that sher man, that's that pcp.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, pcp.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, that'll get you there.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't know.

[Caller/Guest]

He didn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Violent and hungry.

[J.D. Ryan]

Don't you get super strength, though?

[Michael Turley]

Oh, yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, here you go with pcp. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Pre K. Pre K. All right.

[Michael Turley]

Well, Jeffrey Tomberland of Nashville was arrested with a bag of the finest of blue crystals.

[John Clay Wolf]

JB Ryan knows his meth blue crystal.

[J.D. Ryan]

Maybe I shouldn't go to Iceberg style. More of this fun and craziness. And maybe John will come back and my dog will fart. More on the John Clay Wolf show next.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning, everyone. Randy has been sitting here patiently wanting to talk, and I've intentionally ignored him because I like saving him through the.

[J.D. Ryan]

Air in the corner. He's putting his little arm in the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Air, going, well, he ran out of here twice. Because your dog keeps farting.

[J.D. Ryan]

The dog chased him out of here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, when. With farts. Randy, good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

I don't wanna. Hey, listen, I'm gonna probably be totally diplomatic, okay?

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

Now, I don't want to rock the boat and everything. I got, like, a really interesting proposition for you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

I say this last. J.D.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[Caller/Guest]

What the hell you feeding your dog?

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, actually, we gave him some chicken skin from Popeyes last night. That'll never happen again. I'm sorry. Never have. Oh, you're one to talk. You come in here drunk, you come in here.

[Caller/Guest]

Stone oysters and clams.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, we don't give them.

[Caller/Guest]

You can tell me. I'm part of the team.

[J.D. Ryan]

You're one to talk.

[Caller/Guest]

Speaking of. Hey, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah?

[Caller/Guest]

I don't. You thought about this? You probably have. Because we're closer. I think you should send me to Vegas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, you think you could handle it?

[Caller/Guest]

Listen, Las Vegas is not for the weak of heart. I mean, I understand if you think you look good in boots, and boots does, you can't wear them every day. You gotta adapt to Vegas. You gotta be part of it, honey. You gotta get down there on the Strip and live it. You gotta get in that sports book. Bet you three to ones, bet you eight to ones you don't make money when you place your bets. You make your money when you win. And when you win enough, you get support individuals to help you.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then.

[Caller/Guest]

Then you can buy some cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

How is your gambling addiction going this football season thus far?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I'd be lying if I said it hadn't picked up a bit. Daniel. Houston Texans. Dang old Houston, Texas. You still are ESPN down there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, I'm gonna say this quietly. Screw the Houston Texans. Why I'm so mad about that Patriots game, I can set myself on fire. I know this is a Patriots game and I only lost 40 bucks in a sack of pecans, but still, my big bet this week. Lsu, baby. Get on top of those Tigers, get on the tiger train and ride it. Ride it.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is the line on the LSU games? Anyone know?

[Michael Turley]

It was actually.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's gonna be like four or three. You can't do forever. Three second here.

[Michael Turley]

How do you not know this, Randy?

[Caller/Guest]

Or in chipmunk language, 10 points.

[Michael Turley]

Auburn is favored.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I need a bookie now. I want to take LSU on the line and who was the other one? Oh, the TC game.

What about Texas and usc? Usc? Texas is favored by three and a half.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, they're gonna lose. I know.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, I think those are three sure bets you can make right there.

[John Clay Wolf]

I agreed, Randy. I mean, you'll hook me up. I want 100 on each game.

[Caller/Guest]

Can do.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's not even fresh.

[John Clay Wolf]

Fresno, not Frisco. My God. Get it straight, Satan. Good morning. Oh, hey, hey. Yeah, John, what do you do? Will you take my bets on the football game?

[Caller/Guest]

No, no, no, no. I. I don't gamble on sports.

[J.D. Ryan]

Really?

[Caller/Guest]

Although there are a lot of good souls in it.

[J.D. Ryan]

I bet you've got a few of them tied up, don't you?

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, sure, yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

We all know about Brian Bosworth. Oh, is that one of them?

[Michael Turley]

Really?

[Caller/Guest]

Sure.

[J.D. Ryan]

I was gonna ask you if you're.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gonna drop Pete Rose.

[Caller/Guest]

Sure. Pete Rose, Yeah. Top of my list.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's one of your guy. Oh, man.

[Caller/Guest]

Don't forget oj.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, well, that was a whole different.

[Caller/Guest]

We've been talking a lot lately, O.J.

[J.D. Ryan]

And I, you know. What's he got done?

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you talking about?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, first of all, a lot of. A lot of your journalists won't do this, but since I got a little time on your show, I'll do it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Being the Prince of darkness and all.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

He's really a good guy, you know.

[J.D. Ryan]

Other than the double murder thing.

[Caller/Guest]

No, but I mean, I. I know he's.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's a little high tone.

[Caller/Guest]

OJ's the kind of guy you get drunk.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, Right.

[Caller/Guest]

On a Tuesday night, say around 7:00pm yeah. He's driving you home, you puke all over his back seat.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

O.J.

[J.D. Ryan]

Doesn'T mind, really.

[Caller/Guest]

No, he's fine. He's like. Well, you know, he'll love you, bud.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Can I give you a ride home? You know, he'll help you get in the front door, explain to your old lady that he didn't let you drive. Oh, very responsible, very accountable. Now, there is that one, that one.

[John Clay Wolf]

One instance in his life where I.

[Caller/Guest]

Can say, and this is not a.

[John Clay Wolf]

Court of law, okay?

[Caller/Guest]

He was a ruthless killer for about 25 minutes on a Thursday evening with no alcohol at all. If the. If the glove doesn't fit.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, make him put it on because it fits. Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Nevertheless. Nevertheless. I've made a really, really good deal with St. Peter, who handles all the souls for you know who.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure, of course.

[Caller/Guest]

And for the cost of one Alex Jones. Oh, I'm really thinking about trading OJ.

[J.D. Ryan]

Can you do that? Sure.

[Caller/Guest]

We do it all the time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who would you trade him with?

[Caller/Guest]

You know, I hate to let go of Manson and I really don't think they'd like him up there. But they've never heard him say he's amazing. You know, I took him to the Dave Matthews concert last night.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, you told us.

[Caller/Guest]

And he's all high on Dave Matthews. You know, we've got XM satellite radio down here.

[J.D. Ryan]

I had no idea that it was.

[Caller/Guest]

They had a Dave Matthews Channel. Manson has gone just. Just a Nazi skull symbol crazy again because they turned it off. Sure. Now they're playing yacht rock. And he was there. They turned it over. Midnight Thursday night. He was there. First song they played when they took.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Dave Matthews Channel away off of Sirius and went to yacht rock full time.

[Caller/Guest]

First song they played.

[J.D. Ryan]

What was it? Minute by Minute by the Doobie Brothers.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. That Michael McDonald really got to.

[J.D. Ryan]

Is he one of your buddies?

[Caller/Guest]

He started a big fight.

[John Clay Wolf]

Michael McDonald? No, Manson.

[Caller/Guest]

Manson. Manson. Yeah. He socked Hitler right in the eye.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh my God.

[Caller/Guest]

It's crazy. It's all I can do to keep. Keep Jim Jones off. Horrible. Horrible.

[J.D. Ryan]

You must have some real crowd control issues.

[Caller/Guest]

And if you don't know who Jim Jones is, well, you don't know much about hell.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, Satan. Thank you.

[J.D. Ryan]

See you, buddy. Good to see you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Speaking of hell, the Giants play the Cowboys Sunday night. The big spotlight. What's the line on that? The Giants have to be favored. Is it here?

[Michael Turley]

It is home. So the Cowboys are probably two point dogs. Let me. I'll look it up here.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm so probably.

[Michael Turley]

I've been so down probably 6. I knew it was going to be a bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

I did not watch it last week.

[Michael Turley]

It was just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you.

Not at all. Not. Didn't turn it on.

Oh, it just got worse and worse and worse.

[Michael Turley]

The Giants are actually. The Cowboys are favored by three points.

[John Clay Wolf]

I did. We were at a restaurant. I looked up in the last two minutes when they were trying to put a drive together to tie it up if they would have got the two point conversion. And then they fumbled or something.

[Michael Turley]

No, they gave you that false hope. They had a chance near in the fourth quarter. They're Making a little comeback and then they just couldn't draw convert.

[John Clay Wolf]

Failure to convert down. Converse.

How are the Saints?

[Michael Turley]

They had a tough go against the Buccaneers. They lost like 48 to 40, which is a crazy high scoring game. So it may be a long season for them because they don't have a defense. Their offense will be exciting to watch but not enough good enough defense.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the Texans were trying to beat the Patriots, weren't they?

[Michael Turley]

And try very hard. It was terrible there what Deshaun Watson. Deshaun Randy Watson did not have a good game and so he may have that second season they call the sophomore slump. He might have that too. So. Because he did not look good at that first for the against the Patriots. So see if they can bounce back. They play the Titans tonight or actually tomorrow afternoon.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. So they're going to play the Oilers?

[Michael Turley]

Well, yeah, not basically same same team. Yeah. The team that left Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

Houston versus Houston. Yeah.

You just don't know.

Kramer versus Kramer.

Aaron Rodgers is injured during the Sunday night game. Packers are down what, 20 zip. Comes back in the third quarter and wins it by one.

[Michael Turley]

But Aaron Rodgers is. Is the best, one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's still that guy after, after the injury last season. Is desean Watson. Watson still that guy?

[Michael Turley]

I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sam Bradford wasn't still that guy.

[Michael Turley]

I know Antonio Romo.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sorry, Romero.

[Michael Turley]

Romo was in the green room saying how's your baby pants Dax doing? How's your baby pan stacks doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Really?

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, he was talking some crap about Dax.

[John Clay Wolf]

Get him in here. Come on in here. We'll, we'll bring him up on the next segment. We'll be back in just a minute. My name is John Clay Wolf and dj if you'll put Pat on hold. I would have taken him on the out, but since you can't put anybody on hold in a timely manner, I guess we won't do that. We'll catch Pat. Oh, there's Pat. Pat. An 04F150 with 220,000 miles. Is it a six cylinder or a five? Four.

[Caller/Guest]

What was that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Is your truck. Where the hell is Lavernia, Texas?

[Caller/Guest]

It's about 30 miles south of San Antonio.

[John Clay Wolf]

Awesome. 220,000 miles. I think it's worth $2500. Maybe 2 grand. 2 grand. 2 grand. 2 Grand. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. My name is John Clay Wolf and I buy cars on the radio. Be right back.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's trying to help with the show prep. He knows I put together news and we put together little audio clips that are fun to listen to. So he.

[John Clay Wolf]

He.

[J.D. Ryan]

Our strip club DJ at one point was the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who lives in South Louisiana. Guys, in South Louisiana. If you see a great big six foot six guy, pick up your car. He's real friendly, right? That's him.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's him.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he. Something else. He just told us they're playing Hurricane Harvey ads down there in Lafayette, Louisiana.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hurricane Harvey. That's been a little bit, though. I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

A year ago, when we were doing Operation Airdrop.

[J.D. Ryan]

Operation Airdrop?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, Operation Airdrop actually is serving the Isabella Carolina. Yeah, Right. Right now.

[Caller/Guest]

Florence.

[John Clay Wolf]

I disconnected myself from it. Not, not. Not badly. I just couldn't do it.

[J.D. Ryan]

You've got too much to do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I can't even. I don't even know my own name anymore.

[J.D. Ryan]

So anyway, he sends me a 911 call that. I don't know if it's real or not. Let's listen to the audio.

[Caller/Guest]

What's your emergency? Yeah, so I need a cleanup service and a doctor or whatever. Sir, are you injured? I think so, but I can't really tell what's left. What's left of what? My wife was in the bathroom, so I figured I'd just go in the sink and I slipped on my own piss. Caught my dog in the sinkhole. I tried to pull myself up and hit the dang switch and got the disposal turned on. Wait, what?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's fake.

[Caller/Guest]

I just got up my own. Oh, my God. The disposal has disposed my. All over the walls.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sir.

[Caller/Guest]

Help is on the way. Oh, man, it's like a slip.

[John Clay Wolf]

Aside from help, I. I think the whole thing. I think she's fake.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's all fake. That's the point is.

[John Clay Wolf]

That is so strict.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

First thing I thought.

[J.D. Ryan]

God bless you.

[John Clay Wolf]

We love you. Thanks, Eric.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Artie, good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

Hi. I just heard that conversation. I want to know how Long. This man's thing was to fit in the garbage disposal.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a good question. This is a very good question. Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

John Holmes, that would have been your.

[J.D. Ryan]

First clue that it was fake.

[John Clay Wolf]

I like the way you think.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

We've got a pornography historian on the air, everybody. She always was kind of a wide stance gal. What's on your mind, honey?

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, well, I wanted to tell you something. Okay. About, about. Well, last month on the 20th, for some reason I woke up and from that my arm is dead, so it's useless. You know, I have a flipper now. Just my hand is numb. Well, last night I was coming outside to take my dog to a potty because I couldn't sleep and it was about 3:30, 4:00 clock in the morning and.

[John Clay Wolf]

Strip club DJs sister.

[J.D. Ryan]

Seriously.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, go ahead, go ahead.

[Caller/Guest]

So it, you know, I live in this city.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dj, will you hand me that gun, that pistol? Here you go.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna blow my head off real quick. Go ahead, buddy, keep talking.

[Caller/Guest]

So I didn't expect anything to be on my porch, right? My back porch. Well, I open it up and my dog comes out and there's a huge raccoon on my porch. Well, there's the dog looking at the raccoon because he likes to chase cats.

[J.D. Ryan]

Wow.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I shove and he took.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hold on, I'm gonna pick up. I'm gonna get the gun out of his bloody hand.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hold on, John, you okay?

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm next.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think, I think he missed.

[Caller/Guest]

The raccoon was on an alert stance too. So I shot my dog in the house.

[J.D. Ryan]

I can't take any.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm start, I start.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ah, dang it.

Go ahead too damn.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, I start, I start fighting this wreck with, with a rake, okay? And I think, hold on, I'll go find him. I kind of ran him off. I kind of ran him off and he started taking off and I came back up on my porch and after fighting the raccoon straight on my face, right on my nose.

[Michael Turley]

What happened?

[Caller/Guest]

I broke my nose. Skinned it up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Everybody.

[Caller/Guest]

I want to know, I want to know who's pissing in my sandbox. Do you know?

[Michael Turley]

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, I mean it's like. I mean I don't know where they got hold of all these guns. I don't know if they just passed them around, but this is. This is a gory scene.

[Caller/Guest]

Where are you?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm.

[Michael Turley]

I'm behind the glass.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm kind of glad now.

[Caller/Guest]

[John Clay Wolf]

You talk so much. We all killed oursel. Cuz you can't. Shut up. Okay, now we're back.

[J.D. Ryan]

Holy hell. She never even caught on. Did you have it where she couldn't hear us talking? No, no. Oh my God. That's amazing. Heard it.

I want.

Is that my sister in law?

I wanted to do that since I first got into the biz, man.

[J.D. Ryan]

Kill yourself on the air.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, act like it. Like fake it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, fake it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll show you guys.

Suicide is not funny. It's not funny at all. But it was funny with her. My God almighty.

So what was the point of the story?

Did the methamphetamine is the point of the story.

[Michael Turley]

That's a methy right there. She fought a raccoon with a rake. That's what she told me.

[John Clay Wolf]

She fought a raccoon with a rake.

[Michael Turley]

That's what she told me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dude. I walked into my house that we're redoing. So the walls are open right now and it was about 11 o' clock at night and I was coming down the hallway and out comes a coon.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Scared the hell out of me.

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

In your house?

[John Clay Wolf]

In my house, yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

That would get aggressive. Yeah, they get very aggressive.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was hissing at me. I'm a ram. They're bigger than you. I fought him. I fought him with a broom. We fought, we had a fight and. And I won and I smacked him and knocked him down the hallway and then he came at me again and I smacked him with the broom and he ran out the little. Shoot. He got out and. And I ran to my room and shut the door and I was breathing real hard and sweating, but I made it. So maybe that's what she was calling us. I don't know. I'm confused.

[J.D. Ryan]

Me too.

[John Clay Wolf]

800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800. Radio cyclist encounters rattlesnake Speaking of scary scenes yes.

[J.D. Ryan]

This is actually. A guy was on his mountain bike, stuck on a sandy trail in the Santa Monica Mountains. He basically had to hop off, and there was a. Where he stopped the bike, there was a rattlesnake directly below him. Why you don't just throw the bike down and run? I don't know. But he decided to videotape it for the Internet.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm coming up this path, and it's so sandy, my tire bogs down. I have to stop.

Right underneath my bike is this rattlesnake.

I have to bail off, and I barely make it out. Look at him. Oh, geez. Oh, my. I'm shaking.

God, that's a mad rattlesnake.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, he's shaking while he's taking the video of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right?

[Michael Turley]

What are you doing just standing there looking at it? Just shoot the damn thing.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right, right. That one, I think was fake, too, but there's video to go.

[Michael Turley]

I think it's fake.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, I thought the audio was, but there's video that goes with that crack pipe vending machine. You want to read that?

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a great story.

Is it? Let's see. Entertain me, Uncle J.D. read to me.

[J.D. Ryan]

Are searching for whoever is responsible for setting up several vendors machines in the town of Coram, New York. These little vending machines dispense ballpoint pens, or are they at $2 apiece? Inside the items are a little glass tube with a disposable ink cartridge you can pull out, and a brass screen wadding at the end apparently possibly has another use.

[Caller/Guest]

It's a crack pipe. It's a ceramic glass pipe disguised as a pen dispenser.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a very gray area. Obviously, it's not illegal to sell a pen. To sell a pipe is not illegal. However, this is considered drug paraphernalia.

[Caller/Guest]

And it also is being dispensed from.

[John Clay Wolf]

A machine that was installed illegally, per town code. Who put it there?

[Caller/Guest]

Like, that's. That's crazy. Who got the key to get the change out? The fact that somebody created it, that's a pretty smart idea.

[J.D. Ryan]

Man. Okay. They were cracked piped vending machines.

[John Clay Wolf]

They were repurposed tampon machines. True story. From ladies restrooms. If you see a picture of the sign says pins, $2. And they set three of them up in this little area that's got a bit of a drug trafficking problem just outside Amityville on Long Island.

[J.D. Ryan]

Amityville?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

An undercover agent said that they had become very popular in a span of just 3 or 4 days. That story is from early this week, guys.

Hey, what's this deal on our run list? Why rent new office space when you can modify? Are y' all gigging on me?

No, I mean, I just think it's amazing because I was here when you guys first started. Right, Charlie?

Yeah.

You know, we were in the buyer. We were.

The.

The four of us were in these three rooms before, Right?

That's it.

This big studio room, Connie's office outside, and a side office, which became Connie's office. We put a receptionist outside. It's grown to the point where we moved to the buyer's room next door. Ten guys fit in there. Thirteen, plus a spot for the drivers. Now, there are 40 of them downstairs in a big, what, 80 by 40 office?

At least. There's 12, 000 square feet loaded.

And we're knocking out walls and putting in. No, putting in coffee bars. And, you know, you like the way it looks. I'm quite impressed. I think I said something earlier to you this week via text or something. I was like, I'm quite impressed with the way things are going.

We are going to have to move when we launch the east coast and the west coast full on. For real. There's no way, dude. I mean, it's gonna take 500 people to run this whole thing.

[J.D. Ryan]

Where.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where are we gonna move it? Where we're gonna. We're going to wind up buying a department store that's empty.

Yeah.

And turn. And turn it into what you see downstairs. It'll have to.

Let's buy Billy Bob's, man. That'd be awesome.

Where else are you gonna put 500 people, right?

And play pool and drink beer and smoke cigarettes.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, we already have enough distractions in the sales loft in the buyer's office anyway. We have buyers that are lost in Vegas.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's it. We're out of here.

[J.D. Ryan]

We out.

[John Clay Wolf]
