Episode Overview

This episode captures the chaotic, comedic, and candid energy the John Clay Wolfe Show is known for. The guys talk cars (with live call-in appraisals), wild misadventures, sex and relationship humor, more than one stripper story, rock concert recaps, crew drama, and insider reveals about buying/selling used vehicles nationwide. Through it all, they keep the laughs coming and the boundaries loose—but (barely) manage to avoid FCC fines.

Key Topics & Segments

• [01:51] The segment devolves into over-the-top jokes about “fattest partner you’ve slept with,” with Bob sharing an almost-boastful confession (“I think she was nearing 178… and a very nice gal.” – Bob, [02:35]).

• [06:14], [34:45], [37:42], [47:29] John describes how live car appraisals happen on-air—listeners call in with vehicle details, Haggle ensues, and sometimes John gets cornered into higher offers by wily sellers (“…you hear the husband on the side going, tell him takes 12.5, tell him…” – John, [07:18]).

5. Life Lessons from a Stripper: Hannah’s Hustle

  “When you get to the club and a girl says ‘buy me a drink’, that’s a hustle, okay?... the girl's drink has no alcohol, and so that drink is free but the man doesn't know it. She's paying for two drinks, and that's an automatic tip. Cha-ching.” – Hannah ([16:40])

• [29:10, 54:14, 111:51] The team launches a bikini photo contest via Facebook (with tongue firmly in cheek).

  “Almost summertime, girls… Come show us your bikini on the John Clay Wolf Show.” – Bobbo ([29:46])
