John Clay Wolf
Well, where's my coupons? My day, you'd get your newspaper from.
JD Ryan
A smart mouthed little bastard on a bicycle that'd throw the paper right in your damn bushes. And then as he rolled away, he'd call out. 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 Sam Satan, the Prince of Darkness.

John Clay Wolf
Well, we've had mountain man Dave taking care of us here at the 93 1.
JD Ryan
The Mountain Man, David Black. Kymt.
John Clay Wolf
He hates that name. When they brought him to this station to reinvent it a few years ago, they wanted him to be the mountain man, you know, like you know how.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. The name of the. Of the radio station is the Mountain. And you're gonna be the mountain man.
JD Ryan
Yeah, mascot style.
John Clay Wolf
So every time you get. Hey, man, it's Mountain Mountain day right here. Smoking grass right on top of the mountain.
JD Ryan
Next we're gonna play you some Marshall Tucker band.
John Clay Wolf
But the. I've enjoyed my stay here.
Lieutenant Dan
How are you?
John Clay Wolf
I'm great.
Lieutenant Dan
Everyone's just wonderful. I didn't get to go to the Iheart Music Festival last night. Hang out with Justin Timberlake and her.
John Clay Wolf
That's tonight. Oh, I thought you Justin Timberlake tonight. Last night was Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey, My personal fave. Right.
Lieutenant Dan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Girl can sing no, she can't sing. Really?
JD Ryan
Really.
John Clay Wolf
Started off with Fleetwood Mac and then. Wow.
JD Ryan
Yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
Started off with Fleetwood Mac.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, they opened. Fleetwood Mac opened. And then Jack Black, and he was kicking ass. He's a freak, man.
Michael Turley
Tenacious. I think. I think you mean John. I think you mean Jack White.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, that's right. Jack White.
Michael Turley
Yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
I was gonna say Jack Black's funny, but why would he be at a music festival?
John Clay Wolf
No, Jack. Jack White. The White Stripes. I'm shaking.
Michael Turley
This song right here.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, he was a good tune. He was great. He's a freak. He's got a girl drummer. He's a white. Lenny Kravitz is what he is. Yeah. This is Jack White, for those of y' all have been living on the mountain in a tent.
Michael Turley
Yeah, he's got the Soul Sisters behind him and everything. I think that's what he calls them, too.
John Clay Wolf
He's like. He's like Lenny Kravitz and James Brown. What a show.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And he's all dressed in a blue suit like his videos. And he's got all these big axes.
Michael Turley
So what about these other acts I'm pretty sure you're familiar with?
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah, John's all John's favorites.
John Clay Wolf
Right. Like a lot of mulchier, mulcher culture people that I just don't know their names.
Michael Turley
I think you're a big fan of Little Uzi, aren't you?
John Clay Wolf
Who?
Michael Turley
Little Uzi.
John Clay Wolf
Was he the one with the underwear hanging out and he had his britches hanging down around his knees?
Lieutenant Dan
I don't know.
Michael Turley
Pre K. Is that Lil Uzi? You just described every rapper.
Lieutenant Dan
Literally every rapper.
John Clay Wolf
Who was the one that came on after Jack White that couldn't pull his pants out?
Michael Turley
I don't know. Was it.
John Clay Wolf
Well, he was the Black Stripes. It was Jack White and the Black Stripes. And I don't mean him being black. I mean the black stripe in the back of his britches.
Michael Turley
I don't know if it was logic.
John Clay Wolf
I don't know, man.
Michael Turley
Childish Gambino, who is actually really good. I don't know if you. Was he out there any good?
John Clay Wolf
He's not any good. He sucks. I mean, he doesn't suck. He's just there. He's just.
Michael Turley
Was Childish Gambino out there?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw his sense.
Michael Turley
You didn't think he was good?
John Clay Wolf
He's just there. He's goofy guy with his eyes or his eyes. Like. Did he get kicked by a mule? And one eyes hitting to the right real hard.
Michael Turley
I think so.
Lieutenant Dan
John promoting the Iheart music Festival.
Michael Turley
What about.
John Clay Wolf
There was this gal in high school that had a bad eye. And then she married this buddy of ours, and his whole unit had a hook in it. You know, you see these things.
Randy the Chipmunk
How do you know this?
John Clay Wolf
Football locker room.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, my God.
John Clay Wolf
And they start getting after it. Earl. I got straightened out. Really.
JD Ryan
Turbulence.
John Clay Wolf
It would be. It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't true.
Lieutenant Dan
I was straight.
John Clay Wolf
They finally. They took her. You had her kicked by a mule at 3 years old. Didn't work. Took her to a witch doctor up on mountains. On mountain Man Dave. Up. Up on the peak. They couldn't get it straight. And then she met a guy with a. With a hook unit.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, my God.
John Clay Wolf
And. And he banged that eye straight.
Lieutenant Dan
Knocked it straight.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And you can tell if they haven't been. Been, you know, getting along well, because then it starts coming back.
Lieutenant Dan
Drifting, drift.
John Clay Wolf
So the Boots drama.
Lieutenant Dan
Boots was one of our buyers, our original buyer in Vegas who vanished. Do we ever find out what happened?
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Lieutenant Dan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Sort of. So last week, to catch up on the storyline, we had a guy we sent to our Vegas office. Gimmetheven.com Vegas office down in Sahara. And he went AWOL. And he went AWOL for about two days.
Lieutenant Dan
Vanished.
John Clay Wolf
So we got a guy named Zane on an airplane heading out there to man the shop. And when he landed, Boots surfaced. And Zane told me that he looked real bad, that Boots looked real bad. And he did not look beat up, because when he finally called in two days later, the story was that he was in Vegas and got rolled by a black guy. Why does it always have to be a black. I don't know. Okay, so. So listen to this. So he's coming out of the 711 at 11 at night on Wednesday, got a hot dog, and a black guy's fighting with his girl, and he wants to intercede. Now remember, this guy's got an ankle monitor on Texas.
Lieutenant Dan
That's what you do when you're out of town with the ankle monitor.
Michael Turley
Also, he's five foot tall.
John Clay Wolf
Yes. Anyways, about a buck 20, maybe. Okay, so the. The black guy beat me up real bad. And I was like. But your phone did it. Why did. Did he beat the battery out of your phone?
Lieutenant Dan
Did he beat you with the phone?
JD Ryan
Right, right.
John Clay Wolf
Because we didn't hear from you for two days. And what.
Rush Limbaugh
What is. What is.
John Clay Wolf
What does 711 hot dogs and black guys and domestic violence have to do with your phone not working? Nothing. And I haven't. I thought we were going to have the chance to interview him on the air this morning, and I just got word that he quit. He came back to work.
Lieutenant Dan
What?
John Clay Wolf
He came back to work and then. And now he's left. Was he going to be on the air with us this morning? Turtlene?
Michael Turley
Oh, I highly doubt it. From what I was gathering, he was under a lot of stress.
John Clay Wolf
What kind of stress?
Michael Turley
I don't know, John. Apparently getting your ass kicked makes you get a lot of stress.
John Clay Wolf
But you just sent me a text 10 minutes ago before we got on the air and said boots just quit.
Michael Turley
He did?
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so we need to get loot. This is Lieutenant Dan's team. And Lieutenant Dan's team has been very, very drama laden lately.
Lieutenant Dan
Well, I'm telling you, it.
John Clay Wolf
Give me the VIN. We have these different teams. Team 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and. And they have team leaders. And Lieutenant Dan, for those of y' all who don't know who Lt. Dan is, he's a guy. He saved my life about five years ago when an Iranian was bum rushing me at the auction block. I don't know what he was mad about. I don't know if it was terroristic.
Lieutenant Dan
I don't know.
John Clay Wolf
I don't know if it was a bad car deal gone awry, but he was coming to get me. And Lieutenant Dan jumped in front of me like a secret service agent and he saved my life. But the driver of the car in the auction lane ran over his leg.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And they had to have it amputated. So Lieutenant Dan has a job with me for life. Right.
Lieutenant Dan
Literally gave his leg for you.
Michael Turley
Right.
John Clay Wolf
But at this point, he's like. He knows that he has that tenure, so he's like, using it against me, I guess, because he's got a lot of drama going on in his life that is really affecting everyone.
Michael Turley
Yeah, I would say so.
John Clay Wolf
So anyway, so tell me when Boots quit. What? Because Lieutenant Dan's old lady was the one that came up to the office a month, raising all kinds of hell, screaming, where is he? La la. Chasing everybody around, scaring people. And yesterday she lit me up again. We'll get in. We'll get into that later. Lieutenant Dan's wife, soon to be ex wife, but so Boots.
Michael Turley
Yeah, I got. I get a text from Lieutenant Dan saying, boots just quit.
Lieutenant Dan
Just quit.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, that's a shame.
Michael Turley
Like, okay, what's the story you got to tell us? So I just. I text him again. Come upstairs.
John Clay Wolf
He needs to come up to the studio. We need to talk. We got to get this.
Michael Turley
So we all theorized on Boots and what happened to him in Vegas.
John Clay Wolf
In Vegas?
Michael Turley
Well, how we lost him. And the rolling part is what you said. But you thought maybe there was more to it, correct?
John Clay Wolf
Well, I thought that he got involved with some type of formal prostitution, didn't handle his end of the business properly and got the hell beat out of him. That was my theory. He hired hooker, he didn't pay, he got mouthy, something weird in that realm. And man, pimp, boyfriend, whatever, beat the hell out of him. It.
Michael Turley
You know, maybe some of that is the truth and that's why he's embarrassed and he won't talk about it. I don't know about the beating up part.
John Clay Wolf
So did he think he was gonna show up at the office and no one was gonna ask him any questions?
Michael Turley
That's why he hadn't been here for a week. I think he had stress. Hey, here's Lieutenant Dan, actually, John.
John Clay Wolf
And he finally showed up and then he just. Okay, we're gonna get to the bottom of this. Lieutenant Dan. Lieutenant Dan. Morning, John. Lieutenant Dan. Where the hell is Boots?
Michael Turley
I guess he's with the rest of.
John Clay Wolf
My damn team somewhere in freaking Las Vegas. So he came in. He came in this morning. Oh, no. He. He's too big a chicken shit for that. Sorry.
Michael Turley
I got. I got it. Lieutenant Dan's not happy.
John Clay Wolf
He texted me. Huh?
Michael Turley
Yeah, he's.
John Clay Wolf
He'd been up all night thinking about it and just couldn't bring himself to do it anymore. Okay. Because of compensation and what have you, the same old stuff. He's been talking for two or three days. He had sixteen hundred dollars worth of receipts, right? Sure. He owed me 2500. He paid five hundred of it back mass pretty easy. And then he came in wanting 1600 and we're like, well, you still owe us 2000 for bailing you out and hiring that attorney for that gal you were stalking, or she said you were stalking her. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah. And I didn't know that before I made that contribution to the political campaign that there was a similar. There was a similar situation recently with another young lady. And. And that all campaigns, John, have tendencies. And the odds of Lieutenant not Lieutenant Boots pulling. Pulling off his legal struggles are very thin. Yeah, I would agree with that. Okay, so. I mean, this is going to be a short lived deal anyway if he did come back. But we do love him and he's a hell of a producer. So. Boots, come on back. Oh, man.
Michael Turley
What do you have to do to.
John Clay Wolf
Get fired from someone have to do.
Lieutenant Dan
To get fired from this company?
John Clay Wolf
Man, if a guy can Produce. He can produce, I guess. I mean, you know.
Lieutenant Dan
You know, at some point.
John Clay Wolf
Point, yeah, but you can only go to the well so many times. But in my book, he hadn't been back yet. We haven't seen him. You know, he went to Vegas. He got the hell beat out of him. He came back. He came back yesterday. So he worked in your team yesterday? No, he. He had a meeting with the. Connie, my office manager, she told him, hey, dude, you. He was wanting money, and she's like, you owe me $60, man. He. He had to buy his own dryer sheets, John. She whipped the math out on him. He's like, I guess you're right, because he was running his mouth, saying that he'd paid us back. He hadn't paid us back anything. We loaned him money to buy an attorney. Hey, I'm on your side. It's not a side. It's a fact. We loaned him money to keep his ass out of jail is what. What the mission here was. And that was short term, too, I think. Well, I. I think if I was him, I'd get his ass back to work and start working and trying to make some money for. For. To save up for. Where's Randy the chipmunk?
Lieutenant Dan
He is here. He's here earlier, too. We talked to him.
Randy the Chipmunk
Yeah, I'm here, y'.
Lieutenant Dan
All.
John Clay Wolf
Randy, when the wintertime's coming and you're getting ready, how do you get ready for winter? You get your nuts, and you get them up in your nest and you start packing them, right?
Randy the Chipmunk
Yeah. You know, you don't just find them. You don't just put them out. You keep an eye on your nuts. You watch your nuts all the time, right?
Lieutenant Dan
You have to.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Randy the Chipmunk
I mean, since childhood. We all know. Nobody else gonna take care of my nuts.
Lieutenant Dan
No. But you, you know, right?
Randy the Chipmunk
Yeah. Taking care of business. This ain't nut friends. It's a nut business, Okay?
John Clay Wolf
I mean, have you ever been out hunting nuts and maybe you had a wounded paw or a bloody nose or an ear that got nipped off by a mouse?
Randy the Chipmunk
I got hit by that rail line one time. Those butane buses.
Lieutenant Dan
The buses, yeah.
Randy the Chipmunk
Yeah, yeah. I did it without a whole rear right pole one time, but it didn't.
Lieutenant Dan
Stop you from looking for nuts.
Randy the Chipmunk
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
When? 20, 15?
JD Ryan
Y.
Randy the Chipmunk
And those are hard times.
John Clay Wolf
All right, well, I'm just trying to give. I'm just trying to give some. Some animal kingdom advice to a friend. I'd get to work and start making some money. Quit talking. Quit. Hang on, Randy.
Randy the Chipmunk
Playoffs.
Michael Turley
He owes you money too.
Randy the Chipmunk
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Does he? I don't know. Just. At some point, you need to quit talking and you need to quit feeling sorry for yourself. You need to quit telling everybody they owe you something and get back to doing what you knew you could do. Well, and make your life work and shut your mouth and drop your head and go to work. Damn right, quit. Quit pointing and crying and saying, you owe me this. If you want something, come ask for it. If you need another loan, come ask for it. But don't start saying you've done this and that and that and this. And we told you to stay at this hotel and it was nasty. And taking videos of it and sending it around when your dumb ass is the one that rented the. Bye by the hour, Bye by the night. I didn't do that.
Lieutenant Dan
Allegedly.
John Clay Wolf
And staying at my office in the back. I mean, a bedroll and a pillow, you know, unless you had some sleepy ass customers.
Lieutenant Dan
But you know what is not alleged? The fact that we got a break, John.
John Clay Wolf
All right, we'll be back. They're getting better with their hustle. We now return to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com Now, John Clay Wolf. If you've never tried to play this on the drums, it's really hard. It's like running a marathon. The hardest heartbeat drum. You can't hear it yet, but when it hits there, we'll let it. I'll show that when it goes. Well, it doesn't sound that hard. Maybe it was just me being a.
JD Ryan
I just remember.
John Clay Wolf
I remember getting through the whole thing and being like, golly, this is a whole lot of. A whole lot of Rosie, right?
Michael Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Hey, dj, line one. What's he want?
Lieutenant Dan
He is actually Justin from Houston. He wants to work here.
John Clay Wolf
Hi, Justin.
Caller/Guest
Hey, what's up, man?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, not much. What's up?
Caller/Guest
Why can't anybody here on their cell phone? Why is it that whenever y' all get on the phone. Yeah. Everybody's all, what?
Rush Limbaugh
What?
Caller/Guest
All the time. I'm crawling up and down the side of a dirt mound right now right by the bay, and I can hear you just fine.
John Clay Wolf
What? Huh? Huh?
Michael Turley
Quit it.
Caller/Guest
Honey, I got some advice for Boots, okay?
John Clay Wolf
This Boots is for guys who just joined. Boots is the guy who went to Vegas. He got beat up. He went awol. He. He said it's everybody's fault. And we got him. He got back to Fort Worth, to Dallas, and. And he won't come back to work. We actually let him keep his job and he won't Take it.
Michael Turley
I know. That's amazing, man.
Lieutenant Dan
It is amazing.
John Clay Wolf
What's your advice for Boots?
Caller/Guest
Get your job back now, man. What. What kind of boss. Ain't no boss on the face of the earth gonna let you keep your job after you don't show up for two days and all that other match. And you ain't gonna make it out here somewhere like this. I hear you can't do that. Construction or something like that. That's not the place for you, buddy.
John Clay Wolf
He was scratching. He was scratching unemployed ass when we met him. Yeah, so.
Caller/Guest
So that's a red flag.
John Clay Wolf
No. And he'd worked for Lieutenant Dan before. He'd been with us for a couple of years, and it just takes a long time to get a guy trained up. Well, that's really. My deal is we're growing so fast. It's such a pain in the ass to get a guy trained up to where he can really cruise that it's expensive and it's a pain. And that's why I'm willing to. That's why I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Just put him back to work. Everybody just shut up and act like this didn't happen. Get back to producing. You'll make money. We'll make money. And just act like this didn't happen. That's why I have so much patience. But anyway, yeah, I don't have to have them. I do not.
Lieutenant Dan
No.
John Clay Wolf
There's 40 more of them, and they're great. But he knows. He's just been around a long time, and he's done a lot of extra stuff. He's done a lot of good during the last two years while we were building up. And he's gone above and beyond a little bit, and that means something to me. He did some things that, like, you know, he wasn't getting paid for, he didn't have to do. I'm like, okay, you know, this is a real guy. So he went out to Vegas and.
Caller/Guest
He'S actually recognized that.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Caller/Guest
The fact that you recognize it, you know, maybe. Maybe he should take notice of that because there's a lot of bosses that don't care if you use your own money.
John Clay Wolf
Sure. He can go back to Jerry and see how that works. Chop it. 800-800-7 2, 3, 4. Thank you for the call. 800, 800. Radio, radio, radio. So what.
Michael Turley
What.
John Clay Wolf
What. What's in the. What's in the.
Michael Turley
JD. Sorry, JD's trying to figure out what use phones here.
Lieutenant Dan
I don't know how to drop the call. Good morning. There he goes.
Michael Turley
Figured it out.
Lieutenant Dan
You got to hit the button, then. Hit the button.
John Clay Wolf
Sound bites. Entertain me.
Lieutenant Dan
Guys, Detroit slang, is it time for sound bites?
JD Ryan
I thought it would be a good idea to get pre K on this John, because. Did you watch Key and Peel? The Key and Peel show?
John Clay Wolf
No.
JD Ryan
A couple years ago. Very good 2 guy comedy sketch show that was on Comedy Central for about a year and a half. Maybe they've both gone on to bigger, better things. Well, one of those guys, Keegan Michael Key, gave a lesson in the slang speech of the city of Detroit.
John Clay Wolf
What up, Doe? It means how's it going? Or what's been going on? And actually, a friend of mine just text this to me the other day. It has to be doe. A lot of our slang is words pronounced incorrectly. Chicken, amongst other food related words, means money. So back in the old days it was like dough, but now it's like, yo, man, he got a lot of chicken or he got a lot of cheddar. You can say chicken, you can say cheddar, you can say bands. Like the, like the little money, the money bands that they put around the money. They count that as money. Got that paper? She got that paper. She got that paper. You know, let's. Oh, let me go get that paper. Oh, that's DJ Prek.
Michael Turley
What up?
John Clay Wolf
What up? So I've heard you talk about that paper. Now, I've never heard about this chickens thing. Is this all new, man?
Michael Turley
You know, I mean, every area has their kind of slang, you know, I mean, there are a million, million and one terms for that paper. You know, that skrilla, that scratch guala, you know, some guacamole. What about duck? Guacamole I've heard in the South. Duckets. Oh, yeah, duckets. You gotta stack them duckets up high, baby.
John Clay Wolf
What's a duck?
Michael Turley
It's dollars, I guess. Duckets.
John Clay Wolf
Huh? Duckets.
Michael Turley
Yeah.
JD Ryan
Our old friend Lindy Parr used to say gitas. Yeah, get you some of those gitas.
John Clay Wolf
That, that sounds like a. If it was coming from Lindy, it had to be a sexual term. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Rush Limbaugh. I see him. You're chatting, you're hitting me, telling me Rush wants to talk about old Las Vegas. I'm in Las Vegas this morning, remotely connecting in through mysterious technology.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah, he's in Florida, we're in Texas, and you're in Vegas. So we're all three going to get together.
John Clay Wolf
Good morning, Rush.
Michael Turley
Well, Rush, let me dial him up here. He's only got about a minute here.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, well, I want more rush than a minute. But we can touch him on the way out.
Michael Turley
Yeah.
JD Ryan
John.
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
JD Ryan
If you touch me now, you'll never have a seat on the United States Supreme Court.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, my Lord.
JD Ryan
I bet that's right. There's a confirmation hearing process for that. I'm sorry. That's the Percocet talking. I hear you're out in lovely Las Vegas.
John Clay Wolf
I am. I want to hear. I hear you have stories about lovely Las Vegas, but I don't know if we have time to tell them.
JD Ryan
Oh, I can tell you all about it. We'll be hanging out. I've got the whole day off. You enjoy your time out there. We'll see you in a little bit when we get back with more of the John Clay Wolf show here after this.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, yeah, we're back. Back to the John Clay Wolf show. She's got the three triangles of tan line. Call in 800-800-RADIO now. John Clay WOL. Three triangles of tan lines. That's the whole segment in itself.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, man, is it ever.
John Clay Wolf
There's a lot of gentlemen's clubs out here in Las Vegas.
Randy the Chipmunk
Really?
John Clay Wolf
I mean, a lot. And they're big. They're like, you know, like Academy Sports, Dillard's big. Really?
Michael Turley
Spearmint Rhino.
John Clay Wolf
I have not been in any of them yet, but I've driven by them with my wife.
Michael Turley
I mean. Oh, Taker. She'll enjoy it. Yeah. Spearmint Rhino is great because they actually have a stage that's elevated. It's a birthday glass. Yeah. Oh, it'd be a great time.
John Clay Wolf
This is a good place to take a birthday girl.
Michael Turley
Oh, perfect place.
Lieutenant Dan
She'll get a song.
JD Ryan
Just tell her to watch her hands, though, man.
John Clay Wolf
Rush Limbaugh, are you still there?
Lieutenant Dan
He is, actually. Let me pull him back up, back.
Michael Turley
Up around the ice. The end.
John Clay Wolf
Y I always.
JD Ryan
John.
Michael Turley
Yes.
JD Ryan
I. I started to say on my own show and my producer's terribly confused. I was in if.
Lieutenant Dan
It's.
JD Ryan
If it's Saturday.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
JD Ryan
It must be the Rush. The Rush show.
John Clay Wolf
No Rush on this Beto vs. Cruz race. I've seen this family picture of Beto. It's better.
Lieutenant Dan
It's.
John Clay Wolf
It's.
Lieutenant Dan
Doesn't matter.
John Clay Wolf
It doesn't matter.
Michael Turley
Yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
Beto.
JD Ryan
But I think they actually pronounce it Beato.
Lieutenant Dan
No, they don't.
John Clay Wolf
Well, his kids. He's got three children and their names are Selena. No, his wife is Selena. His kids are Paco, Nacho and Lupita.
JD Ryan
Oh, that's just precious.
Lieutenant Dan
I don't even know if that's true. To say it, that's great.
JD Ryan
We'll have a White House full of them.
John Clay Wolf
Great. But they're all just stark white. What have we got here? Russian? He's from El Paso. Or is he from Mexico? I don't know. What's going on? I'm confused. Okay, the guy's name's Beto and his wife's name's Selena. And his kids are Paco, Nacho and Lupita.
JD Ryan
Are you opposed to the names?
John Clay Wolf
No, I'm just confused. Straighten me out. Who is this cat?
JD Ryan
He's Beato Cruz.
Michael Turley
No, no, that's. That's Ralph Cruz you're talking about.
JD Ryan
Oh, Ted, Ted, Ted. I forget all about Ted. I thought he'd gone away for a minute.
Lieutenant Dan
No, he's still here.
JD Ryan
Very much like. There was actually a debate over there in Texas last night.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
JD Ryan
Did you catch that, John?
John Clay Wolf
No, I was drinking and going to the art music radio festival.
JD Ryan
Thank you very much for bringing that to the forefront. That's exactly what I was doing. Sunny Florida.
John Clay Wolf
So what happened in the. In the debate?
JD Ryan
I don't know. I don't know. I do my research on Monday mornings from 8 until 11, while Glenn Beck is.
John Clay Wolf
Was it in Spanish or English?
JD Ryan
I'm sure it was in English. Surely it was in English.
John Clay Wolf
What were they serving as appetizers?
Lieutenant Dan
There was no food involved. Like a debate.
John Clay Wolf
Joe T. Garcia's, they've got the best. Those big nachos with the cheese melted all the way down in the chopped up jalapenos in. Melted in the cheese. And if I was them, if my name was Beto, I'd be putting on a. That's the appetizer I would have chosen. I would have called the line carts and had them cater, you know, Joe T. Garcia's.
JD Ryan
It's ironic, John, that you mentioned nachos. Because the only problem I had in Las Vegas in the old days, especially.
John Clay Wolf
If my son was named nachos, there were no nachos.
JD Ryan
They have everything out there in old Vegas. They have a buffet back in that day. And this is the old Vegas, okay? The old old Vegas. I'm talking about Vegas with Ace Rothstein, okay? Nikki Santoro, there's my buddies out there, they had a buffet for 99 cents. You could eat as many whole lobsters as you could carry. You could sit around all day. They would never run you off.
Lieutenant Dan
By the way, his kids names are Henry, Molly and Ulysses.
JD Ryan
And those were good times.
John Clay Wolf
Then this must be nachos. Yeah, it's not Paco Nacho Lupita.
JD Ryan
You'Re getting your research off the Wikipedia again. I made that mistake a time or two, but it was great. Back in the day in Las Vegas. Are you having a fine time?
John Clay Wolf
I am having a fine time. I've been all around here. We have a new office. Give me the VIN has an office out on Sahara Drive. And everyone who has come in. I met a few of the people. Customers dropping off their cars.
JD Ryan
Have you taken the time they listened to the show to see the Siegfried and Roy show?
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, they're really not on it.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I thought that the lion bit the head off of one of those fillies.
Lieutenant Dan
What?
JD Ryan
Oh no.
Lieutenant Dan
Yes.
JD Ryan
Oh no.
Lieutenant Dan
Yes. Yes. One of them was killed.
JD Ryan
They owed me a hundred dollars. Which one?
Lieutenant Dan
I'm sure.
JD Ryan
Siegfried or Roy.
Lieutenant Dan
I don't even know which one was killed.
JD Ryan
Son of a bitch.
Michael Turley
You hung out with them?
JD Ryan
Sure. Oh, they were great. They're the ones who introduced me to that all men's club that I went to in Reno. You remember last year? Oh, we had a fine time. Just, it's just regular wholesome guys hanging around with. We'd sing and dance, do some cabaret.
John Clay Wolf
Which one died, jd? The little one or the big.
Lieutenant Dan
I'm trying to look at it. I'm not sure.
John Clay Wolf
She looked like Richard from Virgin Airlines.
JD Ryan
Gosh, I hope it wasn't Roy.
John Clay Wolf
I don't know the difference.
JD Ryan
I mean, I liked them both and they are hard to tell apart. But I'll tell you, in competition at our men's club, that Roy sure could wrestle. What a.
John Clay Wolf
Honest.
JD Ryan
What a badass.
Michael Turley
Did he.
John Clay Wolf
Did he die from a lion bite to the head?
Lieutenant Dan
Oh my God. I'm looking it up. I'm not even sure you're the one.
John Clay Wolf
That brought it up. Don't bring stuff up.
JD Ryan
You know, and that's so ironic because they both said that they hated cats.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, bring up this Mercedes guy. Speaking of cats, James.
Lieutenant Dan
Okay, the Mercedes guy. Okay, here we go. There he is. Dude, I'm looking up the names of these people. Shut up.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, 15 Mercedes, C, C class. AMG. Are you there? What? He's there.
Lieutenant Dan
Hey, Chris.
John Clay Wolf
I'm good.
Lieutenant Dan
Chris.
Caller/Guest
It's a. It's not an amg. It's got the AMG appearance package. It's a formatic. Hello?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Is it a C400? No, it's.
Caller/Guest
It's a C300. Let me get you up a speakerphone.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, that's great.
Caller/Guest
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Uh huh. Good morning.
Caller/Guest
Okay. Hey, good morning.
Michael Turley
Where are you?
John Clay Wolf
What city?
Caller/Guest
Louisiana.
John Clay Wolf
Well, it's a state. What city are you in?
Caller/Guest
Oh, I'm sorry. Lafayette.
JD Ryan
Outside.
John Clay Wolf
Sure, sure, sure. Okay, so it's a Sport package with 18 inch wheels. Does it have factory navigation?
Caller/Guest
Yes, factory navigation and panoramic roof. It's got the upgrade Burns Wick sound system you can get on the C300. As far as upgrade, are you a.
John Clay Wolf
Dealer or is this your car?
Caller/Guest
It's my car and I'm fixing to trade it in. Basically my. I didn't know. My warranty expired two days ago. On the time link, not the mileage. And I'm not. I'm not owning a Mercedes. Not under warranty.
JD Ryan
What?
John Clay Wolf
Where are you going to trade it in?
Caller/Guest
I'm dealing with Service Chevrolet. On a Cadillac?
John Clay Wolf
Sure. Tell Corey, Corey Broussard I've bought hundreds of car hundreds of cars from him over the years. That I'm a 2020. 2020, 2022 grand buyer. Hang on, let me make sure I'm looking at something real quick. If it has a clean, clean Carfax. 2122.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, it's very clean. So 2122. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Corey, it's not Cory Broussard. It's Cory Darby. Sorry, I'm having a brain fart. Corey Darby at Service Chevrolet. Tell him I'm 2120 in A. And we'll. And I'll pick it up next week when you trade in. Thank you. Drop, drop. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800.
Lieutenant Dan
So you know Sig Free and Roy are both alive. Roy survived the attack. Monte Cor, the tiger that bit him did die.
John Clay Wolf
That's why I had you. That's why I sent you out to pasture to dig a hole, JD Because I thought that they were alive. And I thought you were lying.
Lieutenant Dan
Again, no, absolutely not. They're both alive.
John Clay Wolf
Good.
Lieutenant Dan
That Roy is not feeling well. He got eaten by a lion. Or tiger rather.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of bad JD News, what's up with this weed museum?
Michael Turley
Oh yeah, you got that story there.
Lieutenant Dan
Actually, no one gave me that story. Why don't you read it, Bobble? Since Bobbo got it.
JD Ryan
You do have this.
John Clay Wolf
He gets paid to prep all this.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, dear Lord. Las Vegas newest attraction is a cannabis museum. A museum celebrating all things weed. Founder J.J. walker. Yes. J.J. walker says even J.J. walker was the founder. That's what it says here.
John Clay Wolf
J.J. from Good Times.
JD Ryan
Not Jimmy Walker says even has a.
Lieutenant Dan
Bong as tall as a giraffe.
John Clay Wolf
From all of our research, a 24 foot bong. Two stories high. That's glass and is actually smokable. It'd be hard pressed to find another one in the world. What? Dude, that is insane.
Michael Turley
How can you smoke something that large, John?
Lieutenant Dan
You're out there. I've forgotten. Is it legal in Vegas? Yes, it is.
JD Ryan
Okay, so Michael.
Lieutenant Dan
Michael was really quick to say yes.
JD Ryan
Have you been to the Weed Museum in Vegas, John?
John Clay Wolf
I have not.
JD Ryan
You should do that.
John Clay Wolf
Dude, we're running out of time. I want to go out to the desert. I've never been to the desert. I want to look for dead people in holes.
Michael Turley
There's a lot of sand out there, John.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I've never been there.
Lieutenant Dan
It is kind of weird to drive out to the desert and look back. It's literally like that shot in the Emerald City in Wizard of Oz. You're out there and there's nothing. And then you look in the distance.
John Clay Wolf
How long does it take to get from like, the Strip to where you're in that weird spot?
Lieutenant Dan
About 25 minutes.
John Clay Wolf
That's it.
JD Ryan
Not far.
Michael Turley
Far now?
Lieutenant Dan
No.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, then I'm going to do it.
Lieutenant Dan
Really is cool.
John Clay Wolf
Sometime today. Yeah. Last night at the. At the concert we had. Fleetwood Matt kicked it off. Lindsey Buckingham's obviously not there. He's not that missed, I can tell you. They have a. What's funny is one of their guitar players is playing. His guitar parts is dressed like him. And he has on sunglasses and a beard and a hat. So, you know, it's kind of like if you're just closing your eyes and thinking that you're with somebody else.
JD Ryan
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
It's kind of what the effect is that they did. He said he plays the guitar just like Lindsay. And when you. When you're looking at the big board, he's like, okay, it's Lindsay. And the other guy kind of sounds like him. The guy from Tears for Fears. So it works out. Stevie Nicks is still a witch and she's got that voice. Mick Fleetwood, that's a great act.
Lieutenant Dan
I can't believe they opened the show that they're so huge. Well, see who's there. Who's there tonight? What's the big show tonight? You're gonna say, gosh, I forgot.
John Clay Wolf
I'd have to look it up.
JD Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Sam Smith, the George Michael replacement, he got sick last night, so he didn't show up. My wife is very disappointed.
Michael Turley
You got Justin Timberlake. That's huge.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, Justin Timberlake starts JT's tonight.
Lieutenant Dan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
He's the kickoff. And then Greta Van Fleet.
Michael Turley
They playing.
John Clay Wolf
They're playing Today, during the day stage of the I Heart Music Radio Festival in Las Vegas.
Michael Turley
Led Zeppelin Light.
John Clay Wolf
Yes, Led Zeppelin Light. And then the rest of those bands on there, I'm not familiar with.
Michael Turley
What about Leon Bridges? Did you see him from Fort Worth, Texas?
John Clay Wolf
He's from Crowley. Isn't he a gospel singer or something?
Michael Turley
No, he's a. It's a bluesy type of music.
John Clay Wolf
White or black? I don't know.
Michael Turley
We could find out.
John Clay Wolf
Next we're doing right after we come.
Lieutenant Dan
Back with the John Clay Wolf Show. Our number three is next. Don't go away.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, guys, I saw that Starbucks recently opened its first store in Italy. From the Wolf Radio Studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf show, presented by gimmethevin.com take your clock, shove it up your clutch, and this is weird over there. The sizes are a small medium in March.
JD Ryan
Is that.
John Clay Wolf
Call John toll free, 1-800-800-radio now. John Clay Wolf. L. I think Rush should have came and played last night, even though they broke up. I don't like seeing that.
Michael Turley
Last night where?
John Clay Wolf
Last night in Vegas at the iHeartRadio music festival and Telethon.
Lieutenant Dan
Just.
John Clay Wolf
We're raising money all afternoon in the call center.
Lieutenant Dan
No, no, we're not.
John Clay Wolf
No, I'm kidding.
Lieutenant Dan
John is live in Las Vegas. We are in Texas, but John's in.
John Clay Wolf
Vegas on Radio Row. Radio Roll. We're at our affiliate, the Mountain 93.
Michael Turley
1.
John Clay Wolf
Gosh, I'm such an idiot. Is it 931? Yes, 931. The Mountain and Mountain Man Dave. Their moniker is the Mountain Man. Hey, it's Mountain Man Dave. And he was. I was talking to him yesterday. He's a great guy. We got to be buddies. He's like. When we flip the station. They wanted me to be like the Mountain Man. Like, you know how Jack or Bob, right? He's like. I hated that. I hated being Mountain Man Dave. I just wanted to be Dave, not Mountain Man Dave. I mean, it made me think of like strip club DJ in the Rennie characters and all the people that are out there that are forced to do things like they don't want to work. Like Boots.
Michael Turley
He was found.
John Clay Wolf
He just doesn't want to work. He just doesn't. He just wants to drink.
Michael Turley
You want to update everybody real quick, Bobbo?
John Clay Wolf
He just wants to be on the radio, man. He didn't want to. He didn't want to work during the day. He just wants to be on the radio.
JD Ryan
What are you talking about?
John Clay Wolf
I'm just busting your Balls?
JD Ryan
Are you talking about?
John Clay Wolf
Am I not allowed to bust balls?
Lieutenant Dan
What's drinking?
JD Ryan
Must. Must. Jds.
John Clay Wolf
Line one.
Lieutenant Dan
Line one is Michael, and Michael is in Houston.
John Clay Wolf
Houston, Texas?
Lieutenant Dan
Yes, Houston, Texas. He has a 2017 Raptor Hennessy.
John Clay Wolf
All right, Mike, good morning.
Caller/Guest
Good morning.
John Clay Wolf
Are you a. It says you're a dealer. Are you an independent dealer or a franchise dealer?
Caller/Guest
It's gonna be coming from a franchise.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, I'll see your wholesaler.
Caller/Guest
I am trying to help them out.
John Clay Wolf
All right, so 17 raptor, 18,000 miles. It's got a Hennessy package. You know those guys in Hennessy? Damn near. They got in a lot of trouble a few years ago. I don't know if you read about that. I bought a Hennessy. I bought a Hennessy. I bought a Hennessy something this week. I bought a Hennessy bottle. It was an ss. No, it wasn't a Courvoir ca. It was a. What was that? I bought a Hennessy. Geeked out some sports car. Okay, so this thing, how much is the. How much is the package worth? Is it supercharged?
Caller/Guest
It is supercharged.
John Clay Wolf
600 twin turbo upgrade.
Caller/Guest
The Hennessy receipts are almost 40 grand on top of whatever the Raptor cost new.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so what does that. So is that a $10,000 bump in real life?
Caller/Guest
I don't think it's any more than 50 cents on the dollar in real life.
John Clay Wolf
I'm not giving 20. You're not gonna get 20,000 more. It won't happen. I don't think.
Caller/Guest
Oh, I know.
John Clay Wolf
If it's got 40 grand conversion and half of that is 20,000, obviously. So take the regular money on a regular one and add 20, you'll lose your ass. I think you take the regular money and add 10. So what's the regular money? What's average MMR? 58 grand. How many miles?
Caller/Guest
18.
John Clay Wolf
18,000 miles. Okay, so take in the market suggested. I've had 10 of them in the past three weeks. Seriously, they're not bad, but they're not overselling like they were. So 59 grand's average MMR. So take 59 grand plus 10 grand. You got 69 grand, and that's what I'll do.
JD Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
All right, I'm sure they want 80.
Caller/Guest
Customer claims he has an offer at 82.
John Clay Wolf
Mm.
Caller/Guest
And we don't.
John Clay Wolf
We don't buy it.
JD Ryan
Damn high.
John Clay Wolf
Well, yeah, we're not biting there. And the customer's neighbor's not ever gonna fund. And they're gonna come back. Call me, call me, call me. In 10 days after all this BS is out of the way, and we get down to brass tacks. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. And you got to give it to the customers, man. They paid all this money for this stuff, and they got hot for something and bought something too expensive. Yeah. You know, we bought a Porsche this week. The guy gives a, you know, list is 191,000.
Lieutenant Dan
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
And we gave a mid-120s for it, Porsche turbo. And that's a big difference. And it's not that old. It's like a year old, two years old. I forgot. But I mean, these cars depreciate so quickly. The sexier and the bigger and the crazier they are, the worst they're gonna hit. Unless now, there was a Lamborghini Huracan Performante that only lost about 20,000 that we bought the other day.
Lieutenant Dan
Only.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, and we overpaid for that. But, yeah, they're gonna lose. They're gonna lose big. So whenever you get goofy and go to the. Like the. And you have your kids and your wife with you, and y' all start telling everybody, check every box. That's the term. We want it all. I mean, you know, just take. Take a hatchet and whack your right arm off.
Lieutenant Dan
I have a story this week about a guy who has a Tesla, and he's not gonna lose money when he sells it. Know why?
John Clay Wolf
Why?
Lieutenant Dan
He got hit by an airplane this week, and he swears that it is the Tesla that saved his life.
JD Ryan
Another airplane story. So what?
John Clay Wolf
No, it's a car story.
Lieutenant Dan
It's a car story.
JD Ryan
Now, folks, it's time for JD's Airplane Corner on the John Cleveland.
Lieutenant Dan
We have reported on a bunch of accidents where Tesla owners credited their vehicles for saving them in serious harm. But probably not one as strange as this. A Tesla Model X owner in Texas, near Houston, credited his car for saving him and his passenger as the electric SUV was struck by a crashing plane. It gets better. It was a DEA airplane. A small. A small aircraft. Actually, a single engine stop.
JD Ryan
What was this?
John Clay Wolf
Just like the movie casino where the beds were circling and they had to land on the airport outside of Nikki's house. Ace's house.
Lieutenant Dan
In this case, they landed on a city street. The dea plane experience.
John Clay Wolf
Wait, the DEA is drug enforcement agencies. Are they out surveilling and they ran out of fuel?
Lieutenant Dan
Shut up. They had a mechanical problem and landed on a city street.
John Clay Wolf
Running out of fuel is a mechanical problem?
Lieutenant Dan
It is. As the plane approached, they caught some power lines, crashed into several vehicles. Including this guy's Model X. He went on to say no one believed me. I even called. I even called the people at Tesla. They thought I was pulling a prank on them. But no, there's pictures online of this guy's car getting hit by. It's a Cessna. It's a small plane. But he. The car did get clipped by it and he says it's God. And the Tesla saved his life.
JD Ryan
In that order.
Lieutenant Dan
In that order.
John Clay Wolf
Actually, that was the best scene. I forgot about that scene where he's like, man, they're following us so hard. And then they run the plane out of gas while they were doing surveillance, land it on the golf course outside of a throstein's house in Vegas, and then the agents run off while Joe.
JD Ryan
Pesci's threatening the banker inside.
Rush Limbaugh
Right.
Randy the Chipmunk
You know what I'm gonna do?
John Clay Wolf
You don't give me my money, I'm gonna come over to that bank in the morning, I'm gonna bust your head, because that's what I do.
JD Ryan
That's the kind of patient I am.
John Clay Wolf
I want to drive out to the desert in that spot where he met Ace.
JD Ryan
I don't know, man.
Lieutenant Dan
I don't know the exact spot, but the desert is a cool. It's just a cool perspective on Vegas.
John Clay Wolf
If you haven't seen the movie Bugsy and you like Las Vegas, you need to watch it because that, you know, he's the one who came out here and put a flag in the ground and said, this is where it's going to be, the Strip.
JD Ryan
He did it. Built it.
John Clay Wolf
He did. I mean, he was the visionary of it. It's the best Damn movie ever. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. I can't see the calls.
Lieutenant Dan
We have. We have a 2010 Toyota Tundra.
JD Ryan
Put it up.
Lieutenant Dan
Well, you want to hear that one?
John Clay Wolf
Does it have 200,000 miles?
Lieutenant Dan
172.
John Clay Wolf
Is it from.
Lieutenant Dan
It's from Ennis, Texas. This is Greg.
John Clay Wolf
They must have used to live in Oklahoma. Good morning. Hello, Greg. Is your Tundra. What year is it?
Caller/Guest
2010.
John Clay Wolf
Is it a big back door or small back door?
Caller/Guest
Big back door. Well, it's. I don't. It's a crewmax.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. It's a big back door. Is. Does it have four wheel drive or two? Leather. Cloth. Cloth. What color?
Caller/Guest
Tan.
John Clay Wolf
Average. Rough or clean?
Caller/Guest
Clean. It's got the driver's side running boards, got a dent underneath it.
John Clay Wolf
We'll just. We'll just take that off. No, no, seriously. Hey, in my recon guys, if you're listening, you know when you see that stuff and it's like bolt on nerf bar bent, just take it off, throw it in the trash can. Don't try to fix it. It's not worth it. Okay. 2010 Tundra Buck. How many miles on it?
Caller/Guest
172.
John Clay Wolf
Anything wrong with it? Is oil good? I mean, you've been changing it because we're getting to that point where it's getting to be high risk.
Caller/Guest
I just. Just had it changed right before I called y'.
John Clay Wolf
All. Okay. 172. Good condition. Crewmax. Two wheel drive. Cloth doesn't need anything. Got a.
Caller/Guest
Got a DVD player. And it's got a truxedo.
John Clay Wolf
I think it's a seven grand rig. Seven?
JD Ryan
Yep.
Caller/Guest
I owe more than that on it.
John Clay Wolf
So what do you. What do you owe on it?
Caller/Guest
A little over eight. Okay, I have to set up. I lost my job yesterday.
John Clay Wolf
I'm sorry. What were you doing? What did you. Were you like boots? Did you quit or did they let you go? Oh, they let me go.
Caller/Guest
I bought motors, transmissions, anything under a car hood.
John Clay Wolf
You repair them?
Caller/Guest
No, we just buy them and rebuild them.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well, we need a. We need a mechanic if you want to drive to Dallas every day. Drop 800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio is the call in number. So, Randy the chipmunk, is he still here?
Lieutenant Dan
He is here. He's not really happy with you. He thought he was going to Vegas with you.
Michael Turley
Yeah, this morning.
Lieutenant Dan
He has his bag. It's really, really cute. Little bitty bag packed and everything else.
John Clay Wolf
Randy, what do we need to do with the sports betting this week?
Randy the Chipmunk
I tell you what. It's really good. Really good. One, you talk about. You talk about.
John Clay Wolf
There's a sports book in the casino. We're staying in. I want to go sit on it today. Yeah. Yes. I'm gonna go sit on that sports book today while my wife goes to the daytime I Heart music festival. I'm not gonna go to that. I'm gonna go sit on the sports book there. It's her birthday.
Randy the Chipmunk
There are two.
Lieutenant Dan
Say, let her spend it a little.
Randy the Chipmunk
Great opportunities. Two opportunities to get some dollars in.
Lieutenant Dan
Your pocket or lose.
Randy the Chipmunk
Okay. All right, let's close. First of all, we got TCU at Longhorn.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, really? TCU at. In Austin.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Randy the Chipmunk
That's what we do. Go down play at Longhorn Stadium. Now listen, Longhorn's been playing bad. They've been playing bad.
John Clay Wolf
What's the line, boss?
Randy the Chipmunk
The line is three.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Michael Turley
TCU's favored by three around there.
John Clay Wolf
I'm gonna go long on TCU. There's no way they won't outrun that spread after watching them play Ohio State the way they did the other day.
Randy the Chipmunk
You damn right I like the way you think, Diana. Here's what.
John Clay Wolf
Here's the kicker.
Randy the Chipmunk
Here's a good one. Here's where you get a good like 12 to 1. Okay, Texas a and M Aggies are playing at Alabama. Okay, what's gonna happen during the sec? In the heart of the sec?
John Clay Wolf
What's the line?
Randy the Chipmunk
Where's the line?
Michael Turley
Charlie Bama's favored by 26 points.
Randy the Chipmunk
26 points?
John Clay Wolf
Actually, that's a bet, man. I mean, that's probably just about right. That's a good balance. I mean, that's the most ridiculous line ever. A and M played the hell out of Clemson. Clemson's number two or three and take the bump. I'm gonna say I was be A and M with the points. Damn right.
Randy the Chipmunk
A and M went out there for what reason? To become a big time player. And you're gonna start proving it today at Alabama. Take him under, man. Take it under.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, Randy. The lot of nuts there.
Randy the Chipmunk
A lot of nuts.
Lieutenant Dan
A lot of nuts, buddy.
John Clay Wolf
That is a lot of nuts. Now we have our own Bob Floyd. How much time do we have? Book Mike.
Michael Turley
We've got. We can do Bob Floyd next.
John Clay Wolf
You want to do Floyd. I love Bob Floyd. Next like now or next?
Michael Turley
Next like next segment.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, okay. Bob Floyd in the post Hurricane Florence dope report. Bob only comes in about twice a year and does it like. He's like Kramer on cnbc, like with stocks, but he's with we with different variations of grass and all this other stuff.
Lieutenant Dan
It's a market.
John Clay Wolf
The market changes when. When there's heavy flood, constantly. It's just like the car market.
Lieutenant Dan
It is. All right, we end. Speaking of the car market, we'll do more of that. We'll do more of Vegas. We'll do more of all of this with the John Clay Wolf show when we come back.
Rush Limbaugh
Next.
Lieutenant Dan
Don't go away.
John Clay Wolf
Now back to the john clay wolf.
Michael Turley
Show presented by gimme the vinda.
John Clay Wolf
Hit him up right now. 1-800-800-rode. This is the john clay wolf show.
Lieutenant Dan
Live from Las Vegas. Yes, Johnny, what's up?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I didn't want to interrupt you.
Lieutenant Dan
No, you're doing good, man. We're in Texas. But you are in Vegas.
John Clay Wolf
I am in Vegas. What I said is, get me some cars. Give me something cool to drive while we're out here.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
A Scion.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, okay.
John Clay Wolf
And like the day before I got here, they loaded up the truck back to Texas from Vegas with a Rolls convertible with Dawn. A 2013 McLaren MP with 1800 miles. I mean, the best cars ever that we could, like, go and driven out in the desert. I was like, are you kidding me? Y' all just shipped them out of here. Oh, and then there was a guy selling us his grandmother's. His mother's Lexus yesterday, and it's coming in today. And I was telling the buyer out here, I'm like, tell him I'll give him another 100 bucks if he'll just bring it right now. Get me the hell out of this science, man.
Michael Turley
He's buying cars out there like candy bars, man. That's awesome.
John Clay Wolf
It's. What was it? What was the car that you bought that you said? Thank you.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, you're welcome.
Michael Turley
Oh, yeah. The beginning of the show when you were sleeping in, you slept a little bit.
Lieutenant Dan
So I bought us a car. Bought us. And this is. Remember the O.J.
Rush Limbaugh
Chase?
Lieutenant Dan
Remember the big Bronco? You know how much those are worth? Okay, this is a 1999 Ford Bronco that caught fire.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so.
Lieutenant Dan
Well, it wasn't really running, but I did pay two grand for it, so.
John Clay Wolf
Well, that's not good.
Lieutenant Dan
I didn't pay two. I paid 100 bucks for it.
John Clay Wolf
But how are we going to get it moved? It's going to cost a thousand and tow it around.
Michael Turley
Oh, I was trying to explain that to JD but he was in a roll. He's like, I want to try what John does.
John Clay Wolf
Where is it?
Lieutenant Dan
Sounds so easy. Who knows where it is? It's the fact that it was exciting. I got to buy a car.
John Clay Wolf
Good. Well, I don't know what you're doing on Sunday, but we're going to put you in a three car hauler and let you go pick it up and drag that flamed out pos around. And think about OJ Speaking of this hotel we're staying at, the Aria. Aria. I was told that oj he has drinks there. Oh, that's the only bar that he. It's got to be BS And I didn't see him. But the bar there is where he goes because his probation officer lets him go there. There's no let him go there.
Michael Turley
Yeah, because there's no casino. I believe in that.
John Clay Wolf
No, there definitely is a casino.
Michael Turley
Is it? There's part of. No, there's an area. Part of the Aria. There's no casino where he can go.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Michael Turley
That's what.
John Clay Wolf
This whole area here. I don't know, this whole area we're in here, there's Cosmo. That's the coolest. Yeah, that's hotel I think I've ever been in and. But there's about four of them that are connected and I think they're all like from Saudi money or something. But I haven't been out here in 10 years and it's pretty cool. You feel like you're on a spaceship when you wake up and you're on the top of one of these hotels.
Lieutenant Dan
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Like the, the curtains open automatically and people start talking to you. You feel like you're in Buck Rogers or Battlestar Galactic or something. It's.
Lieutenant Dan
It's a different town. It's a real different place, man.
John Clay Wolf
It's turning more into Dubai than it was.
Lieutenant Dan
That makes sense. And then they're building a lot more buildings here. You see a lot of cranes.
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah. They're just building and building and building. Taking out the old ones like the Riviera is gone and a bunch of other ones.
John Clay Wolf
Right, what have we got? Let's see here. I see this 99. Yeah. Grab, grab line one real quick.
Lieutenant Dan
All right, you're on.
John Clay Wolf
Thomas 99 Civic with 58, 000 miles is a sticker automatic. It's a DX. Is it a two door or four door?
Caller/Guest
Yeah, the two door coupe.
John Clay Wolf
Just two grand buy it?
Caller/Guest
I'm not sure because I mean the thing about the car is I got it from impound yard, right. And the guy came all up from Alabama to supposedly race this thing over it. State Capital Raceway over near Port Allen and the car has been fully built, man. Like this motor. I'm. I'm not sure what the hell this dude has done to this motor, but it's handling 150 shot of nitrous.
John Clay Wolf
Where, where in Louisiana do you live? Because this sounds so Louisiana to me.
Caller/Guest
It's awesome, man. It really is awesome.
John Clay Wolf
Nothing better than a 99 Honda Civic hot rod VTEC. Okay, go, go to give me givemetheven.com write that stuff out and take a picture under the hood and we will bid it. Stan, LA Line 2.09Ford Fusion actually dropped. Okay, Christine.
Lieutenant Dan
Yep, Christine is still with us.
John Clay Wolf
Oh eight Chevy Equinox and Grand Prairie. 167,000 miles. 2,000. $2,000. Chris, you there?
Lieutenant Dan
I got rid of her.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. $2,000. Billy in Oklahoma. Of course Billy in Oklahoma's got 160,000. I mean these high mile cars, guys, they're just not worth much. Billy, you there?
Caller/Guest
Yes, I am.
John Clay Wolf
We come to Oklahoma and pick up at people's homes. But on stuff like this, we don't. Because half the time when we get there, they won't run right? Or they're getting hot or there's a problem. So we what I tell my buyers if it's junk, tell them to bring it to us. If it makes it to us, we'll buy it. So I got to tell you the same.
Caller/Guest
I tell you what, it's outrun every police around Union City and Minco, Oklahoma.
John Clay Wolf
So they all know it, right? Yeah. Huh? Thousand bucks. Next. Call 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Bob Floyd is coming to us with the post hurricane dope report. Good morning, Bob.
JD Ryan
Tell you what, and this is big time. Hope you've managed to put away some cash from this summer's hefty bumper crop of pure Mexican red. Because if you're ready to bankroll, there's a once in a lifetime opportunity afoot. An unusual form of debris has been washing up along Florida's beaches after Hurricane Florence. Bricks of marijuana. You heard right. Over the last few days, numerous 12 kilograms, that's 26 pound packages of good Columbian grass wrapped nice and tight and nearly waterproof, have washed ashore in Daytona beach and through Hurricane Florence. Almost certainly having played a part at this time, it's unclear exactly where they came from, which brings the time honored social compact of finders keepers firmly into play. And that is where you, the entrepreneur, step in. Because not only is possession of marijuana, even in small amounts, illegal in Daytona beach, it's also virtually unusable by those moronic September tourists who've never taken a bowl in their lily white lives. And while they know they've got their hands on something of value, they have no idea what the specific value might be. Our setup plan. Simple. Swoop in now, right now, today. Let it be known at every Applebee's, chilies and Chuck e. Cheese within 19 miles that you're offering, say, 6,000 per bundle with no limit on volume to all sellers through September 30th. Only get in, get done and do it fast. All cut. Your six grand per unit is going to break into, count them, 104/4 pounds of the highest quality, readily wholesaleable weed in existence today. You sell those quarter pounds for $3.50 each. That's going to yield a cool $30,400 per get there. Now get in, say hello to the Mrs. And bring back a Christmas. We'll all Remember. And that's this summer's dope report. I'm Bob Floyd. You keep token.
John Clay Wolf
It's Florida. I think it's. Is it fall yet? Is it still summer?
Lieutenant Dan
We're right there.
John Clay Wolf
It feels like summer. 800-800-7234. Remember, if we don't beat your carmax written offer, I will personally send you a check for a hundred dollar bill. Not $100, but a check for $100. And that mean I don't know how else we can defend our pricing. Anybody that's skeptical. Oh my God. Is this real? All that? Yeah, it's real real. We bought 2200 cars last month and we're gonna try to repeat it or beat it this month. 800, 800 radio. But faster than that, go to give me the VI and VIN number. Put in your plate or put in your VIN. GiveIn.com, you heard the $150,000 bid on a Ferrari a minute ago. And the 200, the thousand dollar bid on a 160,000mile Cadillac. So that's a pretty big range. Diesel trucks were really good with them too and lifted trucks. We'll be right back. Now back to the John Clay wolf.

So you know we lost Boots in Vegas. He got rolled by a guy the 711 is the story when he was getting a hot dog and the guy was fighting with his wife and he or his woman in boots, all 125 pounds of him intersected at 11pm and got beat up. And the guy obviously beat the phone out, the batteries out of his phone because we didn't hear from Boots for two days.
JD Ryan
That's the thing though, isn't it John?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it is. But so when I came out here, I mean made me concerned. So I brought cluck Norris with me. We haven't, you know, I wanted him to go hang out at seven elevens and see if he can find this guy.
Lieutenant Dan
Sort of our strong arm.
Michael Turley
We gotta tell everybody who Cluck Norris is for us.
John Clay Wolf
Well, Cluck Norris is our in house rooster and he, we found him on.
Lieutenant Dan
The streets of Fort Worth and he kind of runs the roost where he.
John Clay Wolf
Is and he hangs out with uncle Roy. He's just an all around badass. He's a fighter. We've run him up to Oklahoma. I mean he's just swept the Oklahoma chicken fighting market. I mean he's won a lot of money up in Oklahoma and Louisiana and chicken fighting.
Lieutenant Dan
So you haven't been with you in Vegas.
John Clay Wolf
I have him here. Get over here, clock. Come here.
JD Ryan
What's the matter, John? Tell me something. While you and I is by ourselves.
John Clay Wolf
Well, it's because we're. We came out here to scope this deal out.
JD Ryan
No, no, but in full privacy. Who is that bald headed man?
Lieutenant Dan
What? Ball headed man.
John Clay Wolf
What the hell is that?
JD Ryan
I seen you in the studio with a bald headed man.
John Clay Wolf
That's mountain man Dave.
JD Ryan
Is he trying to rough you up?
John Clay Wolf
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
JD Ryan
He trying to give you a hard time? No, because I'm on it.
John Clay Wolf
What do you think about Vegas? I slept last night. Did you work the streets?
JD Ryan
You know, I get a little nervous going to a town I've never seen before.
Lieutenant Dan
That's a big town.
JD Ryan
I keep my spurs handy because. No, but the kind of hands they have out here is a different kind of hand. See, hands. Usually I have a special way. First I get the eye contact. They looks at me and I looks back. Make a connection. Once you make that connection, stare them down. Then you go over, talk it down a little. By which I mean you make love with the conversation. Oh, get close to the hands. Don't be talking about no little old pretty little old fried chicken time. I'm talking about roasted fine. Like a fine hen waltz.
John Clay Wolf
You know, Turley, you've spent a lot of time out here. And last night I was sitting at this restaurant, the bar at Javier's, inside the casino. And it was awesome. But I noticed there were two women to my right and two women to my left. And they came up and one of them was wearing a gold presidential. And they both had imac. They all four had immaculate figures and a lot of makeup. And they were wearing ridiculously risque clothing, but classy. And I. I didn't have the. You know, I. I didn't want to ask them if they were prostitutes or not.
Michael Turley
If as soon as you strike up conversation, they've got you.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I didn't say anything. I just kept eating. But I was like, these girls are really. But. But they're a lot better looking than Cluck's hands.
Lieutenant Dan
These are Vegas women.
John Clay Wolf
So are they strippers? Are they prostitutes?
JD Ryan
A damn home here to take care of you when you're down.
Lieutenant Dan
So Michael knows. What do you do in that situation?
Michael Turley
You don't talk to him.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I wasn't in a situation. I mean, I was just trying to. I mean, it was just interesting. Were these prostitutes or strippers? Because they were One or the other. They were way like prostitutes.
Michael Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
How do you know?
Michael Turley
Because just what you described, that's, that's, that is Vegas.
Lieutenant Dan
So what do you do in that case? You walk up and go, hey, can I buy you a drink? Hey, you want a date?
Michael Turley
Oh, no.
John Clay Wolf
What? I do.
Lieutenant Dan
If you want to engage them though.
John Clay Wolf
If you want, yes.
Michael Turley
Yeah, you can go ahead and do that.
John Clay Wolf
My wife, it's her birthday. I think bringing her home a couple of prostitutes is not the best person.
Lieutenant Dan
User are a great man.
John Clay Wolf
Hey honey, look what I brought you.
Lieutenant Dan
You are welcome, baby. I thought you'd like the blonde.
John Clay Wolf
God almighty. But so they're definitely prostitutes? Yeah, but I mean, do they just really charge a lot? Because like their clothes are expensive and that girl wearing a gold presidential and.
Michael Turley
I mean, I've heard, yes, their pricing is pretty high.
Lieutenant Dan
What does that mean?
John Clay Wolf
I mean they'd have to be like real high. I mean this is like on a scale of one to ten, it's eleven and a half.
Michael Turley
Well, they have it high enough to where they're taking the risk of getting arrested.
JD Ryan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
I thought it's legal here.
Michael Turley
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Outside of the city.
Lieutenant Dan
It is not legal inside.
John Clay Wolf
Do you have to run them out to the, to the hotel outside of town?
Michael Turley
Yep, way out. I mean anything outside of town. Vegas city limits. Yeah, sure, in the desert. You got a shack there.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so they're just, are they just farming? These great looking prostitutes are just farming for wealthy men. Of course. True. I mean, but I mean like what. How much would something like that run a set of brother back like clock.
Michael Turley
Bob. Oh my. Know this one?
Lieutenant Dan
I was gonna ask, but I didn't want to get in trouble.
Michael Turley
Bob. Oh, you've, you've, you've partaked a little bit once before.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, you know, you can go down to the place and rent exotic cars and take them on the track and run them five laps or 500 for half a million dollar cars. And this kind of struck me as that kind of deal.
JD Ryan
Now you're gonna pay for more than the fuel on this man.
Lieutenant Dan
And the tire wear.
JD Ryan
Yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
What are you, what are you talking about for? Is it about the hours?
John Clay Wolf
About the evening dollar amount on it?
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Really?
Rush Limbaugh
I don't know.
John Clay Wolf
Out.
JD Ryan
In, out in Vegas.
John Clay Wolf
I don't think you understand the quality I'm talking.
JD Ryan
Oh yeah, I understand.
Lieutenant Dan
We've seen the movies. Yeah, it's.
JD Ryan
I think you're, you're talking ground floor minimum 1500 for an hour.
John Clay Wolf
Damn. Nah, more than that. What? Yeah.
JD Ryan
Well, you asked me anyway.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Michael Turley
More than 1500. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And that's what makes me wonder if they're real prostitutes or just trophy wives. But they're not wives. They're not wives. They're strippers. They're strippers. How do you tell the difference between a prostitute and a stripper?
Lieutenant Dan
Well, one just dances and the other one goes home with you.
JD Ryan
Right, but these, but these young ladies are soliciting. They're walking that line of illegality in Las Vegas. Your really expensive ones will be on websites like erosion.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. I don't know. Okay, here we go.
JD Ryan
You better not find out.
Michael Turley
Oh, JD's looked it up.
Lieutenant Dan
You can get an escort in Vegas for 500 an hour, but these are not the high end ladies. They run anywhere from 1500 to $6000 per hour.
John Clay Wolf
Yes. Okay, I, I was thinking these are like four, three grand an hour deals, maybe more. Wow.
JD Ryan
Well, these are walking around though, and.
John Clay Wolf
They were ordering like hundred dollar meals.
Lieutenant Dan
Of course.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. So they could afford it.
Michael Turley
Six grand just to have a girl in your arm.
Lieutenant Dan
Seriously?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. 800, 800. 7 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio if you want to buy. If you need to sell your car to have a date tonight. Yeah, really, we'll buy it.
JD Ryan
Luckily, there ain't no shortage of hands.
John Clay Wolf
Back at the couple.
Lieutenant Dan
You got a 91 Corvette with 34, 000 miles from Buddy and Plano. You want to talk to him?
John Clay Wolf
Yes, I do. All right.
Lieutenant Dan
Buddy is on the line. A 1991 Corvette with 34, 000 miles.
John Clay Wolf
91. 91. It's not a Z or one, is it, buddy?
Caller/Guest
No, it's not. It's. It's basic, but it's arctic white with a torch red interior. All original. 34, 000 miles, to my knowledge, has never been driven in the rainbow.
John Clay Wolf
How long have you owned it?
Caller/Guest
About eight years now.
John Clay Wolf
Is it. It's a Cooper convertible.
Caller/Guest
Convertible.
John Clay Wolf
Convertible. Okay. Stick or automatic? It's automatic.
Caller/Guest
I used to take it to car shows and it almost always wins first place in its class.
John Clay Wolf
Charlie, what year was that pace car that we sold last week?
Michael Turley
94, I think. Right.
John Clay Wolf
Is it the same body style?
Michael Turley
I think so.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but, but he's a 91. The same body style as a knife. Where I get confused. That's a C4.
Caller/Guest
Yep.
John Clay Wolf
Nine thousand, eight thousand. Eight thousand. Nine. Eight eight to nine thousand.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, that's, that's about average price for a C4, but this car is going to class all by itself.
John Clay Wolf
Well, here's a 43,000 mile one that sold in Fort Myers, Florida last week for 5,600. Here's a 51,000 mile one that sold for 6,500 in Pennsylvania. And here's one in San Francisco that sold for six grand with 53,000 miles. So yours has 30 on it, which is better? The color combo is great. I mean, I'm really eight to nine. I'm, I'm not sure. Bidding you a bit. I don't think you're thinking retail. I'm thinking wholesale. I make 300 bucks a car. I know nobody believes that, but it's just the damn truth. We buy and sell hundreds and hundreds of cars. We'll make 300. Some cars make more, some cars lose a lot. God, last week we took some whippings on some stuff, but yeah, it averages 300 bucks a car. And, and I, I think that car is going to bring. I think it's going to bring nine grand is what I think. But it could bring eight and I'll give eight. I might give 85 and I might give nine. If I, a lot of times if I think it'll bring, you know, 50 grand, I'll give 50 grand just, just to gamble. I mean, I'm a, I'm a car gamble. It is really what you can call an investor. You can call it gambling.
Lieutenant Dan
Call it whatever you gambling.
John Clay Wolf
I got to figure out what the, what the money is on it and I put it on there and just try to get the prettiest ones I can. And you know, it works out right for me more than it works out wrong. But there's plenty of times it works out wrong. God almighty. But yeah, I'm an eight to nine grand buyer. Go to givemetheven.com and send us some pictures if you are interested in selling that ride.
Lieutenant Dan
And if you want to be with us for the next hour, go to john claywolf.com the stream button is right at the top. We're going to lose some of the stations. We're going to continue live from Vegas next on the John Clay Wolf Show, Podcast two o'.

Randy the Chipmunk
Hey, Mama said the way you move gonna make you sweat make you groove.
John Clay Wolf
Hey bubba. Hey, baba.
JD Ryan
Yes?
John Clay Wolf
I've got a question about Frank Zappa.
JD Ryan
You really okay?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I, I just don't get it. I just don't get it. I've been. It's like you get it or you don't get it. Why is he Even famous Zappa.
JD Ryan
Yeah, he was a very. He's considered a pioneer of gonzo rock kind of, you know what I mean? He had a very good band, Mothers of Invention, really, before anybody else. I mean, he was.
John Clay Wolf
In a way.
JD Ryan
He was doing stoney before Pink Floyd was doing stoney. He was doing snarky comedic. Way before Steely Dan was doing snarky comedic. You know, it's. They're very clever songs and a lot of them are pretty mean spirited and nasty.
John Clay Wolf
I just don't recognize any of his music. Did he have any hits? No, not really.
JD Ryan
He had some stuff that was pretty well known, you know, Going to Montana soon.
Michael Turley
Oh, what about Don't Eat the Yellow Snow?
JD Ryan
Don't Eat. That was the Yellow Snow?
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah, that was a radio kind of a novelty hit.
JD Ryan
Novelty hit. Yeah. I think he's widely considered a novelty guy now. But every time I hear him, you know, like on a Deep tracks kind of station or something, I turned it up because there's really nothing like Zappa, John, you know, I mean, you listen like Country Joe and the Fish way back in the day. Or even Jefferson Airplane had a really playful side that nobody really remembers anymore. Plastic Fantastic Lover. Remember that?
John Clay Wolf
Jefferson Airplane's amazing. Yeah, they had hits. Same kind of hits. No, he's got a huge brand name. Oh yeah. Frank Zappa. Name a song. Nobody can name a song. Nobody knows who the hell he is. They know a big old black afro and a guitar. And every half the people, including me, haven't screwed up a Santana.
JD Ryan
Really.
Randy the Chipmunk
Put them on hold.
JD Ryan
Pre K. They don't even look alike. Sorry.
Lieutenant Dan
Your kiss is finally saying goodbye. They say they've announced their next next year. Next year they came out. Actually they did a great performance on the Detroit City Rock on America's Got Talent finale. After that they did the end of the road Tour will be 2019. Details at this point are sparse, but they say the band promises will be a tour to remember. And of course Gene said at our age we'll be good to remember the damn lyrics.
John Clay Wolf
What is his age now?
Lieutenant Dan
I'll find out for you.
John Clay Wolf
666, grab line two of William with a forerunner.
Lieutenant Dan
Line two is up.
John Clay Wolf
William, good morning, you're on the air.
Caller/Guest
What's up, man?
John Clay Wolf
Not much.
Caller/Guest
Where are you I beer right now?
John Clay Wolf
Okay. On the note it said you're standing at a dealership. Are you still there?
JD Ryan
New I beer?
Caller/Guest
Yeah, I'm in. Yeah. I mean most of the right now. They got to get my truck on Monday.
John Clay Wolf
What did they offer you on trade in on the 4Runner?
Caller/Guest
Well, they kind of lowballed me at a 25 5, but then I went to your website and it was anywhere between 273 to 29 3. So I'm trying to get a solid number so I can.
John Clay Wolf
So we were higher than the dealer?
Caller/Guest
Oh, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And is it so? All right, so my, my. You went to give me the vin.com and it immediately gave you a quote. Our low end of the quote was higher than the quote you had at the dealership.
Caller/Guest
Yes, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Good. Then it's doing its job.
Caller/Guest
And it's a Louisiana truck. It has no whiskey dents in it, man. So I listen to the show.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Caller/Guest
Super clean.
John Clay Wolf
What color?
Caller/Guest
It's a dark gray.
John Clay Wolf
It's got to be four wheel drive.
Caller/Guest
Right now it's two wheel drive. It's the only one they have with a sunroof.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, is that why you're getting rid of it? Because they'll take your hunting fishing license away in Louisiana if they catch you driving a two wheel drive? Yeah, I know.
Caller/Guest
I was gonna jack it up. So it looks four wheel drive.
John Clay Wolf
That's so Louisiana. My God. There are more domestic pre runners in the state, in the, in the SEC countries. I'm talking about these two wheel drive trucks that they lift up to make them look full. I mean, my God, why does everybody do that? Were you really gonna do that? Are you just kidding?
Caller/Guest
I'm just kidding. It's my wife's truck. But we want. We're turning in on a TRD off road.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. It's his wife's story. Now it's all making sense. Dude, that trd, like the real trd, you know, that level expensive one. Yeah, that thing's badass.
Caller/Guest
Well, the trd, the one I'm getting, the. The off road is. It just doesn't have, I guess like the locking differential and a lot of the jazz. But it looks exactly the same.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so it has the black emblems and the black wheels and the mono colored. Okay. Get the tan. The tan and the orange.
Caller/Guest
I like, I like that. I like the terrain. But the old lady, she hates it.
John Clay Wolf
So I got that weird blue, that slate blue that they rolled out. Looks good too.
Caller/Guest
I was looking at that one too. She liked that one too, but they sold that one, so I gotta get the. They had to get me a gray one from another dealer.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, no, no, no, no. Tell them to. Tell them to go find you what you want. Tell them to get you a blue one.
Caller/Guest
Oh, no. Oh, there's A. I'm sure you're married. It's a dentist. Who I want and what my wife wants. So she wants the gray.
John Clay Wolf
So I go, hey, speaking of marriage. So I'm sitting at the roulette table last night with my old lady. I'm in Vegas, and. And she. It was fun, and I just didn't care. But it was so funny because, you know when you're picking all the numbers and you're laying your bets out, and she kept saying, no, no, you know, like all this superstitious crap.
Lieutenant Dan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
You know, it was. It was so ridiculous of how many times she was making me change our bet. My bet. And when she was right, you know, smartest gal in the world, and she was wrong, she spun it around to where I didn't do what she told me to do. Of course.
Michael Turley
Of course.
John Clay Wolf
Get the blue. And don't listen to her. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. She had me down to 50 bucks. And when she left to go see Mariah Carey, I didn't go to see Mariah Carey. It was right next to us. And I got back to 300 up. Yeah. And so today we'll do it some more, and I'll listen to her, and we'll get back down in the hole, I'll tell her to go get something to eat, and I'll win it back. Just get the blue one.
Lieutenant Dan
Sounds like you guys are having fun. Get the blue one.
John Clay Wolf
800-872. Just get the blue one. And normally, I don't say, get the blue one, but this is a little different color blue. So how about, you know, we. Give me the vin. We. I meant to talk about this earlier because I think it's funny, but the. The iced tea. So we've got our iced tea set up, like, restaurant deal.
Lieutenant Dan
Really? For downstairs, it's been a very, very, very big deal. We have, like, in a restaurant, you know, you have those big dispensers. We have those now downstairs. It's great.
John Clay Wolf
And the ice machine and coffee and we. We signed up for the service. Community Coffee and Tea does it for the restaurants. And everybody's all jacked up on ice.
Lieutenant Dan
You got everybody buzzing on caffeine because it's free down there now.
John Clay Wolf
It's like.
Michael Turley
Well, I've had this weird twitch for the past week in my left eye. And I was asking my wife about it. She's like, oh, that's just too much caffeine. I was like, damn it. It's the tea. It's the Damn tea.
Lieutenant Dan
So good, though.
John Clay Wolf
Serious.
Michael Turley
I am serious, John. Dead serious.
JD Ryan
It's potent. It's getting a little golden corrally down there. All you need is fresh chicken and a chocolate fountain.
John Clay Wolf
Your eyes hurt? From the left.
Lieutenant Dan
My.
John Clay Wolf
It's twitching. I'm like, what's going on here? We need to take the tea out before we get the insurance deal.
Lieutenant Dan
Maybe one of them could be decaf. How about one of them could be decaf?
John Clay Wolf
I would be fine with decaf iced tea.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
It doesn't taste any different. Coffee. No, but, yeah. Has anybody, like, started having heart palpation?
Lieutenant Dan
We have one sweetened and one unsweetened. We need just one of them. Has to be decaf.
Michael Turley
No, not. No one said anything about that.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, in Compton, one of our buyers, Jennifer, she. She was doing such a good job with the load and the relay load. Everything in the brewing. I'm like, what the hell? She's like, well, I worked at Waffle House for eight years. I'm like, no, no.
Lieutenant Dan
S. Cleaning it up every day.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Why don't we put a grill in here? Can you knock it almost out in the morning? It's like, hell, yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
Some other junk. The whole thing.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, you can't beat the Waffle House. We've already got half of it there. The coffee. All right, 800-800-7234.
Michael Turley
There is a caller up. J.D.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, Stan. Stan is there. Hi, Stan. Stan's gonna. Stan's got an 09 Ford Fusion with107,000 miles. Stan lives in Louisiana. Hey, Stan.
Caller/Guest
Hey. How you doing?
Michael Turley
Good.
John Clay Wolf
Is it leather? Cloth?
Caller/Guest
Oh, it's cloth.
John Clay Wolf
So what do you think? Who's LSU playing this weekend?
Caller/Guest
Oh, I don't even know. I've been sleeping.
John Clay Wolf
Does it have a sunroof or leather? Oh, no, it's cloth. Just a four cylinder.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, it don't have no sunroof. It has a spoiler on it.
John Clay Wolf
Does it have any? Yeah. Tell me more about it, Stan.
Caller/Guest
I put new belts on runs.
John Clay Wolf
Good.
Caller/Guest
I would trust it with my mama, but I just. Right now I'm trying to get me a Tacoma and I need to get out from under it.
John Clay Wolf
Why don't you just let it go if you. I mean, if it's got 107. I mean, on a.09, that car's worth three grand.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
What do you owe on it? Five or ten.
Caller/Guest
Ten, right?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Just let that go back.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
You know, we normally say, sell that bitch. Unless. Unless you can't afford to. So in this case, just Let that bitch go back. Is anybody who hung you up on a finance contract for 10 grand on that old thing mean they knew what they were doing? Who do you make your pay? Did you make your payments to CAC or drive? Or do you make payments to an individual lot?
Caller/Guest
Yeah, individual.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. He. This won't be the first one he's got back. His business model is taking him back. Actually, you don't have to, like, have him come get it. You just drop it off. It's called a voluntary repossession. And most of those people don't report to the credit, so it don't even matter. No. Yeah, yeah. If it's a local truck.
Caller/Guest
I'm looking for a Tacoma.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Caller/Guest
My boat and stuff like that.
John Clay Wolf
How much money down and I just.
Caller/Guest
Need to get out five.
John Clay Wolf
Geez.
Caller/Guest
And whatever. Yeah, whatever. I can get out of that car if I could ever.
John Clay Wolf
You can't get nothing. Hang on. Time out. You're buried in the car. You owe 10 on it. You can get nothing out of it. So. So here's what you do with the note lot. Hey, man, I'm gonna go get a new car. I don't want this one anymore. I'm tanked in it. Instead of you having to pay a wrecker and a repo fee, I'm just gonna bring it back to you. Okay? Okay. They would rather you do that. I'm telling you the truth. It's cheaper form. You're not going to tear it up most of the time. Like when. When the repo man starts chasing you, then you get a little. It's like. And you can appreciate that. It's like cornering a coon. What's a coon do when they're cornered?
Caller/Guest
What's the.
John Clay Wolf
What. What does a coon do when they're cornered? That's right. So. So they would rather just have. Have you in yet. Let's just. Just y' all make a deal. Let it go back. They may be able to set you up with a Tacoma. I wouldn't even be talking about the five GS down. I just take the car back, start over, start fresh. And you might be surprised. With five GS down, what you can get at a dealership with regular financing. Okay, cut. Thanks. 800. 800. Seven, two, three, four.
Lieutenant Dan
And people that are upside down in cars. You've talked about this thing before with Teslas. Bob Lutz, the former vice president of General Motors, did you hear what he said about Elon Musk this week?
John Clay Wolf
I just.
Lieutenant Dan
He said it's A car company headed to the graveyard is what he says about Tesla. He said they'll never make money on the Model 3 because it's just cost is way too high. He's got 9,000 people assembling 150,000 cars. It's just not gonna work. So he thinks that. He says.
John Clay Wolf
It says Williams online, too. He wants a solid number off that range. Just. They already have pictures in it, in the system. Give me the vin. Just tell him to reply back to his buyer downstairs and they work it out off air because It'd be quicker. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. Hey, Charlie, do we have any heavy cars that have shown up at the office this week?
Michael Turley
Just some trucks. Some big old trucks.
John Clay Wolf
We've got some heavy cars bought.
Michael Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
And I. I definitely wanted to. We're starting lane, the second lane. Not this week, but the next week at Dallas.
Lieutenant Dan
Will they be different? Anything different in either lane or all just fewer cars and then split up?
John Clay Wolf
No, I mean, we're adding more.
Michael Turley
Faster.
Lieutenant Dan
Okay. It runs faster. Okay. I didn't know if you had a heavy. A heavy car lane and a regular car lane.
John Clay Wolf
No, but we just want to start off with a splash like we did last time. So we're going to run. Is it 16, 17. Is those our numbers?
Michael Turley
I don't know. That's news. You're breaking news.
John Clay Wolf
Now I've got. I've got.
Lieutenant Dan
Just Justin from the Associated Press.
John Clay Wolf
We are Moving from lane 11 at Dallas Auto Auction to lane 16 and 17 facing each other, taking over Hopper's old lane. If anybody listening, this car dealer in the region knows what that means.
Michael Turley
All right.
John Clay Wolf
And we're tearing down all the stuff after the sale on Wednesday. All the TV screens and all the audio and all of our media gear.
Lieutenant Dan
That's a bunch of stuff, too.
John Clay Wolf
Yes. And then they're gonna rebuild it and rewrap the block. And then we bought a whole nother set of stuff and we're gonna do it it twice, and they're going to be facing each other.
Lieutenant Dan
I mean, it's a multi.
John Clay Wolf
I've been in Vegas and I've been inspired, Mike.
Michael Turley
Oh, I'm sure you have.
Lieutenant Dan
No, I knew it.
John Clay Wolf
I've been inspired. And now that we're going to have our own, like, auction at the auction, like we have our own two lanes and the whole channel is us there. I think we should. I think we should go deeper. I think we should go for Showgirls.
Lieutenant Dan
Here we go. Not Showgirls, The Celine Beyond Show Here we go.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, right, right. Permanent decorations, you know, I mean, real, you know, how much does that stuff cost? I mean, when you're driving down the strip, they. I need to get some gay, you know, producer dude, like, decorator come out there and really help me with a vision on how to dress it out. Didn't have to be gay.
JD Ryan
Good morning.
Lieutenant Dan
I'm gay.
John Clay Wolf
But, you know, the gay ones are the good ones. Just saying.
JD Ryan
See, I don't know, Bert.
John Clay Wolf
I think we need to go all the way. I really do, because we. We've gone halfway and it really worked. Well, I think we need to go all the way. What do you think, Mike?
Michael Turley
No, I agree. I think just. And that's why I'm saying maybe some showgirls, they don't have to be, you know, with bikini tops on, but, you know, a whole thing where they're just kind of there serving food or maybe walking the cars out. Yeah, do it all up with the.
John Clay Wolf
The hell. Should we have a craps table in between?
Michael Turley
Well, no, no, we want them to spend the money on the cars. John.
John Clay Wolf
The food sure worked well. Yeah, we could put a headdress on Hannah. Is she back?
Lieutenant Dan
Not back yet. No.
Michael Turley
That's not.
John Clay Wolf
800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. What's the flooding? You know, I'm out in Nevada. I didn't, I, I, I was getting notifications on my phone last night about flooding.
Lieutenant Dan
Flooding has been. Yeah, it depends on where you are, but it's been spotty and they still have a flood floor. Flood watches and warnings depending on different parts of the state. So it's heavy, heavy rain. We have up to 8, 9 inches in one day. So it's really pretty, pretty bad.
John Clay Wolf
Eight to nine inches in Dallas in.
Lieutenant Dan
Certain different areas, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
God, am I. Yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
In one day.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, I want to talk about DJ Prek's Pimp My Ride.
Lieutenant Dan
We can do that when we come back with John Clay Wolf show.
John Clay Wolf
I got. A. Recent study found that increasing numbers of older adults are using marijuana. Broadcasting live from the Wolf Radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf show, presented by gimmethevin.com at least old people are now going to smell weird.
JD Ryan
For a cool reason.
John Clay Wolf
Now, John Clay Wolf right now. When does Aussie come to Dallas? Does that already happen?
Lieutenant Dan
I think it already happened.
JD Ryan
Let me look him up.
Lieutenant Dan
By the way, Jim, Jean Simmons is 70.
Michael Turley
70.
John Clay Wolf
Is he really?
Lieutenant Dan
Yep.
John Clay Wolf
17 years old, still getting on stage, beating his ass up. Stevie Nicks looks like grandma last night. Did she really? Uhhuh.
Lieutenant Dan
I just haven't seen her forever. I just thought she would still. She's getting a big, long, flowy dress.
John Clay Wolf
People age. She's still.
Lieutenant Dan
Dallas, Texas, September the 26th.
Michael Turley
Okay, so next week.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah, next week instead.
John Clay Wolf
Mustang GT.
Lieutenant Dan
Mustang GT that you're looking at is the Shelby. You mean is 18.
John Clay Wolf
It's a 350. Is it Shelby?
Lieutenant Dan
Yep, it's a Shelby. That's. You're talking to James in Houston. It's a 2018 Shelby.
John Clay Wolf
James, good morning. You're on the.
Caller/Guest
Hey, good morning.
John Clay Wolf
Good morning.
Caller/Guest
How you doing?
John Clay Wolf
It's a. It's a Shelby GT350. Yeah, it's an R. Okay. Is it R?
Caller/Guest
No, just a regular. It's not an art that.
John Clay Wolf
The Shelby. So is this an aftermarket? I thought that. Okay. Anyway.
Caller/Guest
No, it's a Ford. I mean, it's Ford factory.
John Clay Wolf
Gotcha. Gotcha. How many miles?
Michael Turley
800.
John Clay Wolf
Why? Why are we doing this? I'm moving.
Caller/Guest
I'm moving out of the country. I got an expat assignment in Europe, so I'm kind of found out about it on Surprise.
John Clay Wolf
When are you leaving?
Caller/Guest
Next month.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And you bought this car if you only put 800 miles on it? I guess you. You bought it just to sit on it and just love it because. Yeah. Drive it too much. Yep. Okay, so it's a. What color?
Caller/Guest
It's the orange Fury.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Caller/Guest
With the black stripe.
John Clay Wolf
Do you have a title, or is there a payoff?
Caller/Guest
His title. I got the title.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Well, our guy in Houston, Rick, can come over your house, pick it up, and I'll give you a check. So let's, you know, we're talking live. Obviously, you're a seller and not screwing around. Do you have any other offers yet?
Caller/Guest
No, No. I was just riding in the car and listening to your show. I said I'm gonna call them and see what they. My best thing.
John Clay Wolf
I would. I will give you. I will pay you. When do you want to do the deal?
Caller/Guest
Probably next week. Next Saturday would be best.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Caller/Guest
Because I'm out of town, and I'll be back on Wednesday, so I'd say next weekend.
John Clay Wolf
Go to givemetheven.com. load the pictures up. There's really not much to look at because it's basically new, but I still want to see it.
Caller/Guest
And I got the COVID I got the factory Shelby Cobra cover and everything with it.
John Clay Wolf
So I think it's 52G, maybe 53.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, yeah. I was thinking more. I mean, they're marking these things up five grand over stickers.
John Clay Wolf
I'm Looking at a bunch of recent sales, I've got Chicago, Nashville, Pennsylvania, Phoenix, Atlanta, Ohio, and Dallas. So there's. And they're all orange and white, and they all have nothing, no miles on them. So 6 miles sells for 53. 3 in July 24th. 582 miles sold for 54 in Nashville. 800 miles sold for 53. 1 in Pennsylvania. And these are all within the last month.
Caller/Guest
Gotcha.
John Clay Wolf
So that's the market. It's like, you know, comps on real estate is how I do it. So I'm right there with it. And that means that guys bought these cars for that amount, and they sold them as used cars. I'm sure they marked them up three grand and took whatever they could get, but, you know, that's. That's what the wholesale cash market is. Mid-50s.
JD Ryan
Gotcha.
Caller/Guest
Okay, cool. I'll get it loaded up, and then we'll see what we do.
John Clay Wolf
Let's go. It's gonna give me the vin.com 800-800-7234.
Lieutenant Dan
You were talking about. Aussie, by the way. He'll be in Houston September 28th. He'll be with you in Vegas or whoever happens to be in Vegas in October. October 13th. And it'll be in California as well.
John Clay Wolf
Damn sure won't be Boots.
Lieutenant Dan
So buyer Boots, who was the original guy out there in Vegas who vanished?
John Clay Wolf
We didn't get enough info out of Bigs. I mean, Ed. I got it of out of L. We didn't get enough info out of Lt. Dan, who was his.
Lieutenant Dan
Was his boss, kind of. Yeah, his senior buyer.
John Clay Wolf
So he. He texted. Why is he so flighty? Which I talked. Or I talked to Connie about this yesterday. She had a meeting with him, and they went through all the dollars. She's like, okay, let's. Boots, let's start with this. We love. You were in a moment of need, and you were worried about your freedom, and John loaned you $2,500, which is insane. Man.
Michael Turley
That's. That's above and beyond anything you should do.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Lieutenant Dan
I've never worked for a company that would do that for me.
John Clay Wolf
And you paid him back 500 immediately, and then 200 or maybe 300. So your balance, just call it 1700. You have receipts here from Vegas on coffee machine for your apartment. All this crap that we didn't offer authorized. But you're pounding on us, and it's 1700, and you're demanding a check for 1700. But you got to understand, you still owe us. Or, you know, long story short, at the End of the math. He owed us 60 bucks still. And that's, you know, that, that, that, that's fine. So we, we were even if we accepted all of his charges, his personal charges, we're even.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
I don't understand why he's mad at me.
Michael Turley
He's not, I don't think he's mad at you.
Lieutenant Dan
I think he's embarrassed.
Michael Turley
Yes.
JD Ryan
And that's the front, that angers the front.
Michael Turley
When you have this story that you have to keep telling everybody and keep to that story. It's. I think he's embarrassed by. Because he know. Everybody knows. It's not true. It's just not true. It is.
John Clay Wolf
You don't believe the story?
Michael Turley
Oh, God, no.
John Clay Wolf
Has he been in the office yet? Where you were there, downstairs, in the buyer's room.
Lieutenant Dan
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
And have you heard him tell the story?
Michael Turley
Everybody was kind of walking on eggshells.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Michael Turley
And when he shows up, it's like real, he was real brief, just kind of standing around. Everybody's like, hey, how you doing?
John Clay Wolf
Winded. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, oh, gotta go.
Michael Turley
Yeah, I got, I got, I gotta meet my doctor. I'm really stressed right now. I mean it, Seriously.
John Clay Wolf
I keep hearing about this stress.
Michael Turley
That's, that is what he says.
John Clay Wolf
So I, I, I figured, you know, since the guy has had problems with women in the past, that he very well could get in trouble in Las Vegas.
Lieutenant Dan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
And we talked about it and I told Big he'll be back in 45 days.
Lieutenant Dan
I was wondering if you guys discussed that before he left, because here's a guy who's had issues in Bahar, right?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, we did.
Rush Limbaugh
We did.
JD Ryan
All right.
Lieutenant Dan
You're sending him to Sin City.
John Clay Wolf
Get out of town. Town, too, and start a new life.
Lieutenant Dan
Okay, well, that was very thoughtful of you.
John Clay Wolf
And prove to his pro officer that he could do it solid. He was solid.
JD Ryan
That's what's most unfortunate about the deal. This was the perfect opportunity to restart.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so he got his ass whipped. And he's not that bad, cuz I've seen pictures. I, there's nothing.
Michael Turley
There's no bruises, John. Not one scratch. If you get your ass beat so bad that you forget to call anybody for a full 24 hours, you're going to have had bloodied face, bruised, you know, everything will be all. Your head will be swollen. Something he said? Well, it was a lot of body shots.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. All I keep hearing about is stress and like, psychological problems.
Michael Turley
Oh, yeah. And that's part of it. So it's brought on the stress on.
JD Ryan
Him, because you can't disprove that.
John Clay Wolf
How did he get home?
Michael Turley
He doesn't even know how he got home is what he said.
John Clay Wolf
Back to Texas from Vegas.
Michael Turley
Oh, he hopped on a plane.
John Clay Wolf
Plane.
Michael Turley
Flew back on his own.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Michael Turley
Yeah. He hasn't charged the company for that.
John Clay Wolf
Why didn't you just drive a car?
Michael Turley
That's common sense, John.
John Clay Wolf
Did he charge us for it? Was that part of his sixteen hundred dollars in receipts as the return airfare?
Michael Turley
I don't believe so, no.
John Clay Wolf
Our new buyer out here, he's like, hey, man, I'm really happy to be here and this is all working out, but, you know, y' all bought me a one way ticket out here. We did. How long are you expecting me to stay?
Lieutenant Dan
Very much like the military.
John Clay Wolf
I'm like, well, first of all. And we always, when we do something like that, we need to like just go. Go out long with a return flight. It's cheaper and you can change it for 70 bucks.
Michael Turley
Now, the one ways are pretty cheap on Southwest.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah, southwest, it was 550.
Michael Turley
Well, that was because it was last second. Okay, if we know ahead of time, okay, we're gonna bring you back this date, then we can set it up.
John Clay Wolf
More than two hours notice. I was.
Michael Turley
That was literally. Yeah. The same morning.
JD Ryan
That's a big fight weekend too.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, that's right. It was a big fight weekend.
Michael Turley
Oh, yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
Going to Vegas.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. So what is the story? Have you heard the man tell the story of how he got rolled in Vegas? No one's really heard it secondhand.
Michael Turley
Just he. I heard it from Lieutenant right there with Lieutenant Dan. Yeah, I heard he talked to Lieutenant Dan about it, and then when he came back in, we debriefed him and he's like, that's. I'm. That's the story. I don't care if y' all don't believe it or not. That's what happened. I'm like, I. I didn't want to even start on anything.
John Clay Wolf
Believe it. Now, did he say that before you said he's lying?
Michael Turley
No. Well, Lieutenant Dan was like, come on, man, you don't have any scratches on or anything. I don't care. You know, it doesn't matter what you guys think. It's what happened.
John Clay Wolf
Screw you guys. Y' all are a bunch of a holes.
JD Ryan
You don't think he made a fortune out there and, you know, know in some illicit business venture and he's. He's headed back already?
Lieutenant Dan
No.
JD Ryan
Like, he's a kingpin.
Lieutenant Dan
No. Yeah, that's what happened?
JD Ryan
Boots, the kingpin of eggs.
Lieutenant Dan
That's it. You figured it out, man.
John Clay Wolf
Just.
Michael Turley
Just admit that you probably what I'm assuming is he got drunk or high or whatever, blew off for a day, just was gone.
Lieutenant Dan
Once you've made a story up, though, now you're to that it's too late.
John Clay Wolf
They did a movie about it. It was called the Hangover. Yes.
Michael Turley
I think everybody would be fine with that now, you know, into extent would be fine with it. But at least accepting the. This lie.
Lieutenant Dan
Look, we've all made serious errors in our lives. We just put your head down. You just get back to work. And you know what? In a week, everybody's gone to something else.
Michael Turley
Correct.
Lieutenant Dan
It's like there's Kardashians. Everybody forgets in a week.
John Clay Wolf
You know what's interesting about that thing last night is I've never been to a large event that was made for tv.
Michael Turley
Stage stuff.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah. And so the guy from the Hangover was there, the Chinese guy.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, really?
John Clay Wolf
Very cool. He did a great intro. And they had this. They had all these different things going on. And Ryan Seacrest and Paul Abdul were MCs and. And just cameras everywhere.
Lieutenant Dan
Pony show, right?
Michael Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
I felt like I was at the Academy Awards.
Lieutenant Dan
I've been to the MTV Awards out there, and it's crazy.
Michael Turley
They pump up the crowd beforehand when they're coming back. And everything in the.
John Clay Wolf
In the product plugs. Capital One's got this going on for Susie up in the upper right corners. We're bringing her up to the main stage. Throw the light on Susie and then the TV screens. And she's so happy. And Capital One. So happy. And did I tell you how great Capital One is? And Capital One kicks ass. I mean, it was just. Yeah. Ryan Seacrest. Yeah. I felt like I was watching an episode of American Idol. And Turley. I've got a question.
Michael Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
So these festivals that have a lot of bookings, like, you know, there's six acts and one night or seven in the stage rotates so it's a half moon in the backside. Is the other stage getting prepped so they can flip it around and then the next act's ready. Fleetwood Max, done. Yay, Fleetwood Mac. They hit the button. Stage starts spinning. It's a different stage. Right. Why don't they roll right into the next one? What are they doing? I mean, it was 30 minute breaks between these sets.
Michael Turley
My guess is so in between. And then what do they just have? Nothing. No entertainment or anything like that stuff.
John Clay Wolf
Going, but just nothing Big. But I mean, so when the backside of the stage is behind the curtain, they could be prepping that stage, which they are in the sound and the audio and all the engineering. You know, normally at these shows when they do the switch out, it takes a while. But I don't. Since they've got two stages that are on a rotation, I don't see why, why it has the same ladder if.
Michael Turley
It'S, if it's live tv, yeah, it'll be that quick. But this is taped. Yeah, but it's all taped so they can take their time.
JD Ryan
They have red carpet, they have backstage interviews, they have all kinds of stuff to fill the time to make the broadcast. Sure.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
JD Ryan
And we're broadcasting, in fact, right now. We're about to go out of a break.
Lieutenant Dan
JD we are in fact, 11:40. We got about 20, 20 minutes left. John Clay Wolf Show. John is in Vegas, we're in Texas. And more of it coming up right after this.
John Clay Wolf
1, 2, 1, 2, 3. And now we return to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com People.
JD Ryan
Don'T seem to like JB, right?
John Clay Wolf
Call toll free, 1-800-800- RADIO. God Almighty, have some talent. This is the John Clay Wolf Show.
Lieutenant Dan
Wow, Pablo, that was mean spirited.
JD Ryan
What do you mean? I didn't say it.
Michael Turley
Elliot.
Lieutenant Dan
Elliot said it, okay?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, Elliot said it, apparently. Where is Elliot?
JD Ryan
I don't know.
Michael Turley
You know, where is he? Oh, he's in the green room. Hold on.
John Clay Wolf
Come here, Elliot. Elliot's our show coach.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah, he's our show kind of director, radio guru.
John Clay Wolf
Reads all the ratings, figures out what we're doing well and what we're doing.
Lieutenant Dan
Bad down to the second. What when people tune in? When they tune out. When we say certain words, people tune out.
JD Ryan
You ought to know, John, I'm never further than arm's length away.
John Clay Wolf
Well, you say that when I yell at people like Turley, if I'm yelling at Charlie, people tune out. And I. I've heard otherwise. They think that that's funny.
JD Ryan
No, no, I said, would you yell at Pre K? People tune out. We've lost a beat or two like that over the days. When you yell at Turley, people just turn kind of sour. But it don't matter. They'll come back as soon as you talk about the trucks from Oklahoma.
John Clay Wolf
Said it.
JD Ryan
That perks them right up. And I tell you, this morning, you being in Vegas, you got a solid extra 5 meters for the past hours.
John Clay Wolf
Wow.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
JD Ryan
People like to fantasize vicariously.
John Clay Wolf
What, like sitting next to those high dollar prostitutes at the bar last night.
JD Ryan
Bing. 3 meters.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so sex does sell. Well, hell yeah.
JD Ryan
Take it from a radio guru like me, Alias.
John Clay Wolf
Thanks, Ellie. It's good to see you, man.
JD Ryan
Keep up the good work, guys.
Lieutenant Dan
Thank you, buddy.
John Clay Wolf
I would like to speak to Satan.
Michael Turley
Oh, yeah. Oh, you're there in Sin City.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah, he really ought to be with you. Oh, there he is.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Rush Limbaugh
Yeah. John.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Rush Limbaugh
I'll tell you, man, do you sound like you're having too much fun down there.
Lieutenant Dan
Too much fun.
John Clay Wolf
Is this your setting? Sin City?
Rush Limbaugh
No, no, but I. I visit quite often. I've got a house in North Vegas.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, really? Surprised me.
Rush Limbaugh
Sure, I know, it's great. It's a. The mortgage is pretty cheap and I'm still close enough to the Strip. A lot of souls on an early Sunday morning. Yeah, you can catch them fresh off the poker table.
John Clay Wolf
You know, our new. Our new office is right next to us. It's in the middle of all the car dealerships. But then Jackpot Jonies is. Is in the same strip that we're in, which is a casino.
Rush Limbaugh
Oh, I know it well.
John Clay Wolf
I know it well. And then to the right, the New Hope Church is right there as well.
Rush Limbaugh
Yeah, we. We kind of split the difference, the New Hope Church and I. Oh, all those car dealerships. Who works there?
John Clay Wolf
Gambling Liars.
Rush Limbaugh
Car salesman.
JD Ryan
Right?
Caller/Guest
Oh, boy.
Rush Limbaugh
Car salesman in Vegas. Friday. Friday's not when I get them. No, Friday's when I get them started. Oh, they've got a paycheck. Yeah, they're headed down to the watering hole.
Lieutenant Dan
Well, how do we know about that?
Rush Limbaugh
Do some wholesome activities. Drink some beer, play some pool. Bet a few bucks on the game.
Lieutenant Dan
You like that?
John Clay Wolf
By.
Rush Limbaugh
By Saturday afternoon, I've got them in debt and thirsty again.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Rush Limbaugh
And they're going into that Capital One card. Can't run out of beer on a Saturday.
Lieutenant Dan
I often wondered if ATM machines are part of your doing.
Rush Limbaugh
Oh, sure, yeah. Yeah. It wasn't my idea.
Lieutenant Dan
Oh, it wasn't?
Rush Limbaugh
No. That was Einstein's deal.
John Clay Wolf
So, Turley, if I'm sitting at the table, right, and I'm out of money and I want more, I want to keep going. How do I get it? What's. How does a marker work?
Michael Turley
You can set it up with your room if you got a card on there.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Michael Turley
Yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
That's just.
Michael Turley
It's not the smartest thing to do, but, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Do they charge vig on that? I don't know.
Michael Turley
I've never done that. I usually. Whatever's in my pocket. If it's out, then I'm done.
John Clay Wolf
I got you.
Michael Turley
You only want to gamble with what you got in your pocket. You start pulling out the card, then that's when you got a problem.
Lieutenant Dan
Bad sign.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I brought 500 and I have no money.
Lieutenant Dan
What you spend the next hour.
Michael Turley
You have no money in your pocket.
John Clay Wolf
Now however would you spend the next hour? However, my wife has chips of about 700. There you go. But I was thinking about stopping back on the way back to the room and not going up to the room and stuff. Playing a little bit by myself. So I need to get some money.
Rush Limbaugh
Wise choice.
John Clay Wolf
It's not.
Randy the Chipmunk
No, it's not.
Michael Turley
What's your game of choice?
John Clay Wolf
It's the worst odds in the house. And it's silly and stupid, but it's roulette.
Michael Turley
You just like to be able to sit there and chat with everybody. It's a fun. That's, that's, that's the best part. You don't really have to think in that game.
John Clay Wolf
Let me tell you what roulette is to me. It's wholesale car business. It's the same thing. And you lay all these bets out and you lose on a bunch of them and you're dragging back with the profit is what you're looking for. So if you have a hundred dollars out in different bets then you know, you bring back 110. You lost a lot of bets but you won more. And that's, that's what I do. So I'm used to that because that's what we do with the cars all the time. We lose all the time but we win more than we lose.
Michael Turley
I think you would like craps too though.
JD Ryan
I was just thinking that. Man.
Michael Turley
You really would.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
JD Ryan
Those hard way bets.
John Clay Wolf
Every time I go to a crabs table, I wind up. It moves so quick. I. It just doesn't last. I set it a roulette wheel and last for hours. Just stay craps table. I'm out in 30 minutes.
Michael Turley
Well, you got to stay focused on one thing. If you start spreading it all around and going crazy. Yeah. That you're done real quick. Six and eight. Six and eight.
John Clay Wolf
Here we go.
Michael Turley
I'm telling you. Six and eight.
John Clay Wolf
Gambling tips is the field bet no good.
Michael Turley
Once in a while when you feel it, you just kind of see how the. See how the dice have been rolling and then you feel that once in a while. Well so the marker, if it hits on there, you're winning six and eight. So yeah, I mean it's. Yeah, it's the easiest one to do. And it's best odds, too.
John Clay Wolf
6 and 8 on the craft sport.
Michael Turley
Occasionally play the field occasionally, not all the time, but because it wins nice when it hits. But you got to see how the table's rolling. And I'm telling you, your wife will love rolling that dice, too.
John Clay Wolf
It gets exciting.
Michael Turley
Oh, yeah. When you've got a hot table, it's fun, real fun. You just got to find the right place to do it perfect.
John Clay Wolf
You just go, don't. You just go through. You get caught up in the excitement, and then you really blow.
Michael Turley
But that's why you stay focused on just a couple things. Six and eights or. Or the field once in a while. You don't have to go crazy. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. You get caught up in the excitement.
JD Ryan
Yeah.
Lieutenant Dan
Screw it.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Rush Limbaugh
Do you have a game, John? It's not about how much you spend. Let it go. You're paying for entertainment. Have a great time. And if. If you should happen to run out of money, what happened? Well, you. You charge it to your room like Turley said. Now, that's. That's considered a cash advance as opposed.
John Clay Wolf
To a credit like what we did. What we did with Boots.
Rush Limbaugh
You're gonna pay a slightly higher percentage on the repay, if you have to repay at all. Sometimes. Sometimes you're unable. Well, if you get down to that state, I want you to know you can always come to me. I'll be happy to help because that's what I do. It's all about making relationships.
Lieutenant Dan
Ladies and gentlemen, Satan, live from Vegas.
John Clay Wolf
Prince of darkness. He's always. So. LSU is playing Louisiana Tech today. They're gonna kill him.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
How about that game last week?
Michael Turley
Tcu, Ohio State. Yeah. Man, they hung in there for three quarters, and then they just couldn't hang with the big guys.
John Clay Wolf
When you hand the ball to the offense, when the defensive tackle instead of your running back and he takes off for the other end, that hurts.
Michael Turley
Turnover is not good. Right? Can't make mistakes when you play a top five team like that.
John Clay Wolf
How about lsu? That was awesome as a dog in that game. A pretty big dog. And they beat him. Them.
Michael Turley
Yep. That was great.
John Clay Wolf
Put a little money in there. Yeah, it was good. Oh, you. L. There's gonna be some big games coming up here. I'm. I'm enjoying college.
Michael Turley
Number third's looking really good. Lsu, Alabama, that'd be great.
John Clay Wolf
I did not watch the Texans. Did they lose?
Michael Turley
Yes, they did.
John Clay Wolf
Did the Saints lose? Does anybody know?
Michael Turley
The Saints won. They came. No, no, they came back against Cleveland because remember the. The Browns.
John Clay Wolf
Was that last night?
Michael Turley
No, the Saints beat the Browns last week because they didn't have a kicker. Kicker missed three field goals.
John Clay Wolf
Then this past Thursday, was Lieutenant Dan kicking for him?
Michael Turley
Yeah, pretty much. Then this past Thursday, they're down 14 to nothing near the end of the second quarter. And Baker Mayfield enters the game and he actually looked pretty good, John. I think. I think he's going to be like Tony Romo. He ain't going to win you championship. He's going to make some. Some mistake mistakes. But he's also going to advance the ball. You'll win, you'll get some playoff games and you know, it's a good quarterback.
John Clay Wolf
Kid that walked on two schools, couldn't get a scholarship, right?
Michael Turley
Correct.
John Clay Wolf
And then he winds up with the Heisman and he's got a pro deal. First draft, Right.
Michael Turley
Number one pick.
John Clay Wolf
Wow, that says a lot for the scouting system.
JD Ryan
Yes, it does.
John Clay Wolf
In the recruiting system.
Michael Turley
Recruiting system, yes.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, these guys really have it pegged.
Michael Turley
Well, look at Romo. He was undrafted and he turned out to be a pretty good quarterback.
John Clay Wolf
Mayfield wanted to go to tcu, right?
Michael Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
They wouldn't have him. Yeah. So he goes to Tech to walk onto a play and then OU wakes up.
Michael Turley
He walked on.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Michael Turley
Oh, you.
John Clay Wolf
Yep. Who the hell. That's the damnedest story of the past 20 years, isn't it?
Michael Turley
If he.
JD Ryan
Very close.
Michael Turley
Yeah. If he keeps his head straight and becomes an adequate quarterback, it's a great story for the NFL.
John Clay Wolf
Did you see that, that. That in Arkansas last year when he was running from the police and they caught him in the angle tackle against the wall.
Michael Turley
Yeah. That was quite embarrassing.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of embarrassing, good job, Chad Morris. You know, I know you were in for the SMU Mustangs and you were there for life and you're going to turn that program around until two years later, Arkansas came along and offered you more money. That didn't last long. And then you go to Arkansas and get the hell beat out of you by North Texas Turleys. Turley's Turleys.
Michael Turley
Yeah. That was awesome. And that great fake punt which they have now made illegal, if you've seen it, everybody saw it. Where he didn't. Didn't do a fair catch, but came in, everybody thought he had.
Lieutenant Dan
Everybody thought he'd done it. And then he stands there for a second. Everybody got turned.
Michael Turley
Well, because you're giving up your body and they don't want anybody to die on the field because somebody's gonna actually just go full force field and smack you because.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah, had he gotten hit at that moment, he would have gotten seriously hurt.
John Clay Wolf
Correct.
Lieutenant Dan
Because he was just standing.
John Clay Wolf
I think he would have been hurt as bad as Boots.
JD Ryan
Almost definitely worse.
John Clay Wolf
Almost definitely worse.
Lieutenant Dan
Yeah. Boots didn't get hurt.
Michael Turley
10 seconds.
John Clay Wolf
You need put to post that that tackle of Baker Mayfield up and say, this is Boots in Vegas. All right, we'll see y' all next Saturday. Give me the vin.com. we're open all day till 4 o' clock and buying these cars like candy bars all over it and come pick them up. Pay on the barrel head later.
JD Ryan
Locker out.
