A
Hey, that sounds just like that song. Must be time. Must be for the John Clay Wolf Show. It's good to see you, everybody. It's your Uncle Bobbo sitting in the big chair. My friend J.D. ryan.
B
Good morning.
A
Bobbo is feeling special. Special duty.
C
Is this, too.
A
Inside.
B
What is.
A
Can we. Can we. Can we say.
B
Can we talk about the fact that Turley is not here and I'm running. Basically, what I'm doing is launching a space shuttle that I've never done before. There's so many buttons and so many issues and so many. And there's. I'm just being thrown into it. So it's like, okay, here's what we're gonna do. On Tuesday, we're gonna launch the space shuttle. I'm not gonna be here, so I want you to watch all the buttons. You push that. Unless. Unless you don't. Then you push this button. And then here's the. Here's the password.AX9403. Backslash.
A
Can I say something?
B
Sure.
A
You're a much bigger man than me. Why is that? I'm looking at a hundred multicolored candy like buttons, Right. And I want to hit them all.
B
Am I right? It looks like a cockpit of a 747. I'm like, you know I fly a Cessna. Yes.
A
If I were you, J.D. right now, I would hit them all.
D
Hit them all.
A
Yeah, just hit them all.
B
I'm afraid I'll never get us back to where we are.
A
You'll create a cacophony of sound.
B
So I realize the listeners at big 100 don't really know what we're talking about. Probably don't care, but normally, Michael Turley is in this chair, and he's controlling everything. Like, very much like an air traffic controller. Behind the scenes, you don't see everything he does, but today I'm. He's on vacation, and I'm doing it. So here we go.
A
That's what makes it so excited. And I apologize. Just had to say, if you hear anything, you know, untoward during today's broadcast. Yes. Meltdowns. Blame it on JD Right.
B
It will be. It will be my fault.
A
And, you know, I say that with love, because we love to play that blame game around here, you know?
B
Oh, God.
A
Do we ever. Yeah. Doing it with the. Doing it with the lights on this morning.
B
Yeah, normally we have the lights off in here, too.
D
We should.
B
When we get a broadcast. Video broadcast this thing. We should.
A
You know, years ago we did that. There was a. There's a guy named Stoner Dave, of course there was, there was. And he was our phone screener and he had cameras and things. He was a Mass. Com guy going to law school.
B
It's pretty easy these days.
A
He was primarily going to law school, but he had some MassCom cred and he had a camera and set us up on a, on a, like a webcast. And you could watch us sit in our chairs and talk.
B
Yeah.
A
And somewhere along the line, we lost stoner Dave. And we've never really met anyone with, with that kind of knowledge.
B
Well, if we're gonna start doing tv, I gotta lose weight. So that's all.
A
There's two. I guess we could hire somebody.
B
It's so simple. All you do is plug it in.
D
Do your cell phone, webcams, man.
A
Right. It really is just so easy. You can do it in your underwear, as they say.
B
That's what we do here.
A
Actually.
B
John, Clay Wolf will be here in a few minutes. Buy cars on the radio. I know if you've never heard us before on Big 100 in Washington D.C. you can call in, give us your year, make, model, miles, VIN number. No, you don't have to do that. You make model miles and John will give you a number. Basically, we'll come by and pick it up, hand you a check.
A
That's his magic trick. And he's done that for 20 plus years. Right. And quickly becoming America's biggest wholesale buyer. And literally, I mean, with offices in D.C. pennsylvania, Baton Rouge, in Las Vegas, and right here in Dallas, Texas, usa, It's a, it's a, it's a moving business. It's a cool deal. The show, on the other hand, is really our, our means to just calm down and enjoy Saturday. It's going to be a good one, too. There's a, there's a whole heck of a lot going on in the company and in the world these days. Have you, have you been to an auction lately?
B
I've not. But you. I knew you go every week. We started off that have never been. It's, it is a show of energy unto itself.
A
Yeah, it's, it's a, it's a presentation, man. It's crazy. We have two lanes now running simultaneously at Dallas Manheim Auction. Okay. And we're, you know, we're selling 6, 700 cars a week. It's crazy. It takes about two and a half to three hours. And you just watch every kind of big, I mean, profile vehicle roll by you. And we sell them. You know, we pick up that many a week and we sell that many a Week. And it's. It's a crazy, crazy deal. I remember when I first did joined this company full time back in 2010, we were literally, you know, picking up eight cars a week. And we'd get eight. We'd get those vehicles from listeners on the show or we'd go buy. You know, just picking up vehicles, taking them to auction every week. And you know, our goal a long time ago was like 100amonth.
B
100Amonth?
A
Yeah.
B
How many did we do last week? Last month?
A
Month of May, we actually, I think we moved 2,000. 2,000. A little over 2,000 in a month.
B
This is an idea of the energy level. But that goes on for four hours. It's like. It's exhausting. But you do it every week.
A
Yeah, it's awesome stuff. I'm. I'm out there with Prek, who I haven't seen yet this morning either. What's going on?
B
Is the door unlocked? Because Prek is not here. And that makes me wonder.
A
That makes me nervous.
D
Okay.
A
But it's okay. It's not a mutiny or anything?
D
No, surely.
B
No, it's not. But we can check. While we're doing it, we can check DC traffic. I didn't have a sounder here. Hold on a second. There it is. All right. In D.C. proper right now, Canal Road northwest, both ways between Foxhall Road northwest and Whitehurst Freeway. Street closures that's affected by a road race going on today in D.C. in Maryland, MD 295, Baltimore Washington Parkway northbound near Andrelia Mills Boulevard. Left side, there's block that's just an accident. Should be clearing up here in just a little bit. In Virginia I95 northbound after Virginia 635 Stafford, which is exit 140. The left lane there's blocked also by an accident. Weather wise, pretty good today actually. Some rain coming in tomorrow, but today's gonna be partly sunny at 86. We have 70 degrees now at big 100. And there's your traffic and weather together on the John Clay Wolf show.
A
Good morning.

It's a fine morning. It's actually the middle of the night.
D

D
All of them. Speaking of Australian put. Putting out.

It went on tour back in 1993. Made a bunch of kids out in Australia.
D
How often are you having to go back Australian man, to get your visa rechecked?

D
The new Trump immigration policies and visa policies are a little tighter than. Than it was.
A
He's got a terriform koala bears. Oh, we don't even sell koala bears. Makes me angry. I'd like to buy a little Jack Daniels, but I can't afford it anymore.
D
What do you like to drink?
A
I like to drink ocean water.
B
What?
A
Get me salt, have me sodium up.
B
We don't recommend you drinking ocean water.
A
Fortitude from Oshila. In the morning when I wake up with a piece of old Woody.
D
What is a piss hard Woody? Is that that, is that, that, that jeep? That Jeep, that package that they had in the mid-60s.
A
It's like having a message from the Lord. First thing when you wake up. It says, hello, son. Have a nice day. This will get you against Diadna. Those woodies.
D
When you had your piss hard Woody, did you used to put your surfboards on top of them?
E
Right.
A
Make use of it. Two birds, one stone and all that.
E
All right.
A
There you are. One day I can carry a set board.
D
8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. If you'd like to speak with Australian man, he is here. Hey, DJ Prek. You're gonna have to get my phone system working. J.D. the producer.
B
Oh, hold on. Yeah, you're up.
D
Well, it's not. It's not working. It's not working. It was dead when I got here. And it won't open.
B
Don't call me producer, because I'm not. I'm just sitting here. Well, when the pilot goes to the bathroom, the guy that sits in the chair, that's me. And if we crash, in the meanwhile, he's walking.
A
Mutiny.
D
It all started with Turley doing a DJ in a Jewish bar mitzvah in Connecticut.
B
I believe that really happened.
D
No, it's not. It's not opening. Look, you can't. It's not hooked up. It's not working. The phones don't work because JD Screwed it up.
B
I didn't screw anything up. See, I knew this was gonna happen.
D
Call Charlie and ask him how to do it. Is he on the plane or something?
B
No, actually, he's available on the phone.
D
What are you calling? Dj, do you know how to use a phone? White black man here, let's talk today. What's the phone?
A
Hold on.
D
What's a phone? A phone is.
B
You're on.
D
What's the phone again? DJ Prek. Good morning.
C
What's crackulating?
D
Cuz it sounds like a Australian man. I think he's more. I think he's more entertaining than you are.
C
Hey, man, I heard they got some good weed in Australia.
D
Yeah, yeah, Australia, man. What do you think? Oh, go over there. All right, keep going in. DJ, I don't know. I mean, J.D. i don't know if you noticed, in the show that we've been doing for 13 years, a lot of times we play a little music underneath.
B
I know, but the fact is I don't have that music. So if you'd like to play some from your computer, please feel free.
D
Why don't you have it?
B
Michael said you had some and that this. I just don't have it. I could play. I could find some.
D
Yeah, that'd be a great idea. Okay, here's somebody.
A
Good morning.
D
You're on the air. Hey. Hey, hey.
E
I was hoping to talk to you guys about something, but potentially off the air because it's more of a behind the scenes matter. You guys mentioned the video podcasting, which is like a second nature to me. I just left as a broadcast engineer for the US Senate and just finished up 17 years with them, and I could do this as a piece of cake. I've been working on a project in the background, so if you guys are definitely interested in that kind of thing, it's easy to set up and you probably already do it yourselves, but you.
D
Know, I. I don't even know what y' all talking about. I was late to work. We all talking about video podcasting, jd?
B
No, he's talking about the fact that this isn't working.
E
There was a mention.
B
Oh, we did talk about putting. We talked about video.
E
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys, briefly did. You mentioned a guy who was lost studying law at the same time and kind of missed a guy there, and he left that. You know, you guys mentioned that you had cameras set up at one point, but he was studying law, so he left. And when he left the video.
D
Glad the podcast filled me in on the portion of the show that I missed and that JD has made yet another error in what he has said or not said. JD's already struck three times.
B
One more and I walk out of here and you are so screwed.
A
I gotta do.
E
My.
D
My. Hey, let me talk. God damn it. Shut up. I'm on the air. Okay? Now listen. I'm talking. You shut up. You listen. I have an office in Mannheim, Pennsylvania, right? You could do some work up there. But I'm in Texas. I'm in Dallas. Unless you wanted to move to Dallas. It's going to be a hard, hell of a time. Video in my ass from dc.
E
Well, I wouldn't need to be there to video. I just need to be there to set it up. And you guys could do it. I mean, it's a really simple setup, low cost, because there's really good software out there that has been developed free, and I've been working on streaming. You know, I have relatives in Texas that I'm gonna be visiting, East Texas. So the potential of stopping by Dallas is not a problem. And talk to Funimation.
D
Have you ever done any, like. Have you ever done, like, light pornography?
E
I've avoided pornography because I've been involved with the government and didn't bother any.
D
Of the rest of the politic.
E
You know, that's porn enough. It's porn for politics. I mean, there's. To be honest, I mean, there's. It's a circus in D.C. so I really don't want to, like, add to the fire that way.
A
Right.
D
You know, JD did some. Some summer stock back in the 80s.
A
Yes, I did.
D
He was. He was in Cinemax. He did some Cinemax light porn. And I mean, I didn't. With that. With that strong, come on. Voice you have there, you kind of remind me of our old porno dj. Remember that dude?
B
Oh, yeah.
D
And you know, this guy might be able to get you back in the movies.
B
Can't wait.
D
We could take some.
B
That's what I always think of when I think of Hollywood. Big block, I think Washington, D.C. if.
E
You'Re doing, if you're doing anything that's going to be a commercial release, you want a different quality than if you're doing video podcasting.
B
Really?
D
That's not what Burt Reynolds said in Boogie Nights. If you remember when they're in the back when he and the colonel.
A
Yeah.
D
Okay. So he and the colonel were sitting down and they were going over the future of films that the amateurs were going to take over with their video cameras. And damn sure he was right. Okay. 800-800-7 2, 3, 4. God. Roller girl. Do you remember that one?
B
Oh, God.
D
Oh, God.
B
Yeah, exactly.
D
Heather Graham.
B
I mean, it goes right back to that.
D
Honey, if you're listening, I think you look just like her.
B
She does.
D
Covered. Do you remember when Heather killed that guy with a roller skate?
B
Oh, yeah.
D
That was an odd scene.
B
Yeah. A lot of things in that movie were odd.
A
I found it very empowering. Oh, yeah, sure. With a roller skate. You've never seen that before, right? She's badass, dude. Roller girl.
D
I see some badass whip bands with some cowboy.
A
Roller girl, don't wear it. Just can't wait to see her take them off.
D
8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. This first hour we are on, on just the East coast on big 100. And then we join 30 more affiliates across this great land of ours, America. America. Speaking of, we will have Rush Limbaugh.

Oh, yeah.
D
Shortly. But after this next song break, we're going to have a quick one minute hit where I bid cars real fast. I buy people's cars on the radio. That's. I'm not just your normal radio personality. I also have a business that buys cars called you givemetheven.com. and if you'll call in right now, pick up your phone, look at it. 800-800-7234. That's 800800 radio. I've had that number for 13 years. 800, 800 radio. Call in and tell me make, model, miles, average, rough or clean. Make, model, miles, average, rough or clean. And I'll say 10 grand. 20 grand. 2 grand. I hate it. I don't want it. 160,000, whatever the number is and I'll buy it. And we have a office in Manheim, Penn. Hour and a half up the street and we'll run drivers down with checks in hand to pick it up or we'll pay off your payoff depending on how the deal is. We only bought 2,300 cars last month, so just. I say that in bragging because I'm proud of it. But two to let you know that we know what the hell we're doing and we're good at what we do. We sold 388 cars at the Banheim Auto auction yesterday. And we sold 419 cars at the Dallas Auto auction on Wednesday. Do the math. It's a lot. So, yes, we can buy yours to 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

Be right back. Oh, yeah, we're back.
F
Back to the John Clay wolf, call in 800-800-TRODIO now. John Clay Wolf.
D
Steve Perry was not Oriental when he was singing this one.
B
No. Or ever.
D
Well, the new guy.
B
Well, the new guy, yeah.
D
From Cuba.
B
He's not from Cuba.
D
Not from Vietnam.
A
I thought he was Leos.
D
Did they. Speaking of Cuba, did they cut off the booty from Cuba?
B
Yes. Well, they're going. They're going to. You can no longer travel there, according to Trump. Soon, I don't know. When it kicks in.
D
What did Cuba do to piss us off again?
B
I don't know what it's all about, Alfie. I really just don't.
A
I thought we were cool.
B
We're cool with Cuba, but soon we won't be able to go there anymore. So shush.
D
Why? I don't know. Somebody call and tell us why we can't go to Cuba anymore. 800-800-7234.
B
Washington D.C. somebody will know.
D
8008-0072-3480-0800-Radio is the calling number. Why can't we go to Cuba? My buddy's got a big boat at the Keys and we were going to take it this summer. And go to Cuba. Yeah, that's the deal. It's like 100 miles.
B
Not anymore.
D
But I want to go. So why can't I go to Cuba?
B
I don't know. Thanks a lot, Obama.
D
I mean, it's damn sure not over the Russian missile crisis.
B
No.
D
And Castro's croaked. Right?
B
Yeah. Well, the. The elder.
A
Yeah. The streets of Havana are beautiful on a Saturday morning.
B
I've had friends that go there to say it's beyond beautiful. It's so cool. And it's just a time capsule because all the cars are from the 60s. They're American cars from the 60s still running with Toyota engines.
D
Is that what they did? Yes, they put Toyota engines, they put.
B
Foreign like Hondas and Toyotas in there. And they've retooled them and they're, you know, 67 Chevy.
D
Maybe that's why we blocked Cuba. Ah, that's what it is. Because, you know, the whole Chinese tax is coming down and what they're doing is proving that their parts are better than ours. So they shut it off so nobody can see it. Conspiracy theorists.
A
The streets of Beijing are beautiful on a Saturday morning.
D
Is that Hunter S. Thompson?
A
My attorney was rifling through his kit pack again, still searching for that salt shaker full of cocaine.
D
What was that movie about, Bob?
A
What's the movie about?
D
I mean, I know what it was about, but what's it about?
A
It's just a drug addled journalist searching for the American dream.
D
Dude, leaving Las Vegas is what we're talking about.
A
And Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Fear and leaving in Las Vegas is.
D
A lot easier to do, but Fear and Loathing. That's right. But what, what is that? His story? It's a whole supposedly.
A
I don't want to bore you. It's a whole style of journalism. Hunter Thompson invented this style of journalism where he really reported on news and sports and things. He wrote the story, he delivered the story, but he inserted himself as a character in the story. So the story wasn't just about the 72 Super bowl, it was about his trip to the 72 Super bowl and the things he pulled off while he was there.
D
And is that what the term gonzo journalism is?
A
Yes, he invented it. Gonzo. The gonzo statesman.
D
Gotcha.
A
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
D
He was my mother's boyfriend's neighbor.
B
Oh, really?
E
Yeah.
A
Right, right, right. Out of Woody Creek.
D
Woody Creek, Colorado. 88, 86. 78. And he and Floyd Watkins up in Aspen were having a. If you look it up, trout aside, they were having an issue. Right. And. And he, upstream from Floyd, where my mom lived, poisoned the river to kill Floyd's fish because they couldn't get along. His neighbors.
B
Dear Lord.
D
And that was not that far after, was it about 86, probably six years after he ran for mayor. And that famous T shirt came out.
A
Yeah. Yeah, well, he ran for sheriff in 1970.
D
Sheriff. Sheriff. Sheriff. Sorry. Oh, that was 70.
A
Pitkin county, right? Yeah.
D
Hunter S. Thompson.
A
The freak power movement.
D
Crazy bastard, what he called it.
A
I just love that stuff, man.
D
He'd be out there shooting guns now. He killed himself, didn't he?
A
Yeah. Yes, he did.
B
All the good ones seem to have.
D
He must have been rich as hell. He used to live up there. I mean, and that's that part. It wasn't just. Aspen is a ranch up in Woody Creek, 20 minutes out of Aspen. I mean, how'd the guy make so much money?
A
Bob, he was a great journalist. He's one of a kind.
D
There's a lot of great journalists out there. They don't have, you know, they're not worth 50 mil.
A
Right, right. Well, I don't know if he was worth 50 mil or not, but he was.
D
Time. Time devalued. You'd need to be to live where he lived.
A
He was celebrated by, you know, the upper crust of every. Every industry in the country. You know, businessmen, politicians. He was a freak.
D
You think he was taking Duke money.
A
But they liked him, you know.
D
You think he was taking side money?
A
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
D
Well, that makes sense for how he lived because on the other side of them is a German couple that flew their own Lige, Valter and Valeria. And they. They, they. Seriously.
A
Germans.
D
German.
B
Germans.
D
And they flew their own legit. Come out here, Johnny, and we show you. And we stood at the airport and he would get out on the end of the wings of his jet and jump up and down to show me how strong it was and talking about. And he would. He. He and the missus would get in the plane and fly around the world with the heavy access.
B
That's a lot of money.
D
So on one side of Floyd's house was Hunter Thompson. The other side were the crazy Germans, the engineers. It was an interesting childhood, I can tell you that.
A
See here? Mine Wolf is very sturdy.
D
And now I'm a used car dealer and a radio personnel.
A
Well, you can't just sit around. I mean, you gotta have something going, right?
B
His net worth, Hunter S. Thompson in his death, is now $5 million.
D
That ranch was worth more than that.
B
Yeah.
D
So he's. Well, that's in his death.
B
Yes.
D
Nah, that place was worth that back then.
A
I think they're renting it out now to. To tourists and. And Thompson heads. I read some.
D
What about his kids?
A
One son. Juan. Juan be Mexican. No, but his name is Wonton.
D
Is that why he gray grabbed been. What is it? Benedicio Bendicio Toronto?
A
No, that's, that's a whole, that's a whole story. There's a, in the legend of Hunter Thompson, there's a whole story about his attorney friend Oscar Acosta who was a big activist in what they called the brown power movement in California. You know, Latino rides. And that was in the bad old 60s, you know, when you could, you could still fight city hall. You could try and Oscar Acosta, the guy in the movie, you know, he talked him into going to Vegas with him because he wanted to talk to him about a story and get him out of LA somewhere they could talk. But they wound up so wasted for the entire trip that they really didn't talk at all. You know, it's a great story for you in loathing Las Vegas.
D
8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. We are going to take some calls in this next segment. We didn't do it a minute ago and I'll tell you why. This is a bunch of junk cars. I don't like wasting airtime with junk cars. $500 cars are not my bag, babe. You know, we bought a ZL ZR1 vet off of a guy in Maryland last week with a thousand miles on a four year old car. And we've had a 2010 Z28 SS, not a Z28 Camaro SS with, with 10,000 miles on a 10. You know, we gave a lot of money for that car and we sold it yesterday and then actually made a profit. That's exciting. And then we bought a Jeep and we bought a couple of Ford trucks that lost some money. But all was a pretty good week. 8008-0072-3480-0800-radio.

J.D. if you know where that is. If you don't, it's no big deal.
B
Matter of fact.
D
You sound like the German neighbors in Aspen.
A
You will sell the beach.
D
8008-007234-80080. Mike, good morning.
E
Hey, good morning, Mike.
D
Mike, is this four wheel drive? This Lariat?
E
Yes, it is.
D
Oh, four Lariat diesel. 110. Can you roll up your windows or bring your head back in the car?
E
I'm driving a 96 Nissan Maximo with a turbocharger on it.
A
That is loud.
D
Got a hair dryer. How, how much rust? How much rust? How much rust does this F350 have on.
E
Has a slight rust on one of.
D
The rear.
E
Wheel wells.
D
Okay.
E
And it's about maybe a three inch circle.
D
Okay. And it, it just concentrated to that one area.
E
That one area.
D
So we have an 04F350. Is it a crew cab or syndico?
E
Crew cab, full size four door with an eight foot bed. It has an are utility cap on the back.
D
Is it a Dually?
E
No, not a Dooley. Not a Dually.
D
I need pictures, but I'm thinking, I'm thinking seven to eight thousand dollars.
E
Okay. That sounds a little low to me.
D
Well, I just got to see pictures of this ruck. It's all about the ruck. So when you send the pictures, take a picture of the rust spots because that is the variable. I mean I bought a King ranch the other day that we gave three grand for and lost money on it. And if it had no rust on it, I would have given seven grand for it, you know, but it had holes in it big enough you could stick your head in there. You know, he didn't tell me that.
E
Right.
D
So it's just all about the rust. So. So I need to see those picks and I will buy it. And actually on that truck, we won't sell it in PA will pick it up up there, but we'll ship it to Texas because if it's a rust free car and it's not as bad. You're saying it's not bad, then I can sell it in Texas for more money. Texas has a higher truck market than the Northeast. And we have two hub. We have two hubs that we market in Manheim, Pennsylvania. Dallas, Texas. And you know, Manhattan, Pa can sell a Rolls Royce higher than Dallas can Mannheim, Penn. Can sell a Lamborghini higher than Dallas, Texas.
E
Why?
D
Because you got 250 million people up there on the east coast. A lot of them are rich, more than Texas. So we send some of those heavy cars that way and then, you know, the trucks and stuff, we bring them down here. We could pay more for them, but. And then like we have, we have a store in Vegas. We have a store in Vegas that's a whole nother ball of wax. I didn't want to get into that. But you know, we picked some cars from Vegas in the. In California. California. To go to Mannheim. We pick. Some of them go to Dallas, some of them we leave there. You think the California market would be higher than Texas and the east coast, but it's not. Anyway, go to. That's more, that's more information you asked for. Just go to. Give me givemetheven.com Go to givemetheven.com givemetheven.com and load it up. And anybody else you can text bid now to 888-111-888-8111 on your phone. Text bid now to 888111. If you'd like for me to give you an offer on your car, we'll be right back.
F
Broadcasting live from the Wolf radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf show. Release the tigers with John Clay Wolf.
D
This is my creative genius. Damn it.
F
Hit him up now.
D
800.
F
800 radio.
D
What's classier than a used par fight now?
F
John Clay Wolf.
D
It's about as good as it gets. If I had to pick one song of his, I think I'd grab this one.
A
Pretty close to talk Honky cats, Very dear to my heart.
D
So we watched. I've got one of those jailbroke fire sticks. Oh, yeah, and we watched Rocket man on it.
B
How was it, huh? So you loved it?
A
What's the musical?
D
Yeah, it's a freaking musical. Same reason to watch Chicago, man.
A
I told you.
B
Yeah. Didn't you get some audio from Elton John this week, Bubba?
A
Yeah, Elton is.
B
Or what am I doing telling myself. Yes, J.D.
A
Let me show yourself a curve over across the pond. Their news is still, the big story is Brexit. You know, Britain leaving the European Union. And I don't think probably we understand over here how big of a deal that would be. And in some good ways and some bad ways, most scholars are saying it's the worst thing that Britain could ever do. Now they're kind of trying to get out of it. Elton John sounded off during a concert in Italy about Brexit in England.
B
Which one is this called?
A
I think it's called Brexit. Elton maybe called Elton Brexit.
D
There it is.
B
I found it. Thank you, sir.
D
I am so sick to death.
A
Politicians, especially British politicians. I am sick to death of Brexit. I am a European.
D
I am not a stupid, colonial, imperialist, English idiot. Hang on. He's bullying other people apart.
B
Yeah, he is.
A
Is he?
D
He's. I mean, what did he say there? Well, I am not a stupid. Da, da, da. So he was like, classifying another. The other side, and he was using bully terms to classify them, which is very opposite of the GLTBZO or whatever it's called.
A
Wnba.
B
I love when you put Zo in there.
D
I don't know. The WNBA versus the gltbz, fdic.
B
Those people are right. Yeah.
A
But then again, he is Elton John. Have you ever heard him talk before? I mean, yeah, but you can't.
D
Okay, I don't mind if you're gay. That's fine. I'm not gay. But he being gay is great and happy. Gay is good. But when they start being mean gay and he started making fun of the other side in. In calling them names, I think he's just as guilty as everything they ever argue about.
A
Right. His point being, though, that they're, you know, the people who want Brexit, in his opinion, are acting primitive. What is Brexit like an old.
D
Is that like something Acme bricks rolling out next quarter.
A
Empirical, colonial, British, you know, the best thing to have around your throwback time.
D
Especially with him and his hair, his big hair that he does on stage when he. When he dresses like George Washington.
A
Now they're. And they're starting to come out of the woodwork. You know, Sting had. Had quite a bit to say about that last week. A lot of the English rockers are coming out and saying, yeah, Brexit, Brexit bad.
D
Why do you know?
A
Well, I don't know. Economically, they say it'll be a, you know, bad for the economy because they have to trade at a different level with every country in Europe after that, because everybody else is still in The. In the European Union, you know, Denmark.
D
Did not go to the euro. Sweden I don't believe went to the euro. There's a handful of them that did not go to the euro. In a. Greece, that was the one that they fell to the ground. They're the ones who broke it.
A
Yeah, they broke it. I mean, they established their own form of currency. John. It's a major deal. This is not just like the He Man Woman haters club.
D
Well, it's a lot like the ghetto.
A
How so?
D
There's ghetto currency, pre K. Pre K. I've got a white black guy here on staff to explain ghetto currency. Ghetto currency, pre K. Look, what do you trade in the ghetto besides dollars? JD you got to turn that buzzer off. Really, it's.
C
It's mostly just a weed and Hennessy.
D
Hennessy.
C
Quarter or a half will get you a lot of stuff. You know what I'm saying? For real.
D
So, like, what about grills? Like. Like old Post Malone. I hear him in the background.
C
What was some girls grills.
D
Like grills.
C
I was like, hey, we're getting into another game there. Pimping is a whole nother level. Okay.
D
Is that ghetto currency?
C
Hey, man, you go to the right spot, you know, you could definitely trade some things. Okay.
D
The ghetto folk definitely have a different currency for their cars. So, you know, a six foe Impala that easy made so famous, you know, it's worth 15 grand to them, but it's worth 4 grand to me. But their homeboy gave him 15 for it. But in trade, they brought on a big Grand Prix or a big, you know, some other ghetto sled. And they made a pumped up trade that wasn't on real dollars and real currency. So my point is, is the car was worth 15,000 in ghetto swap, but it was not worth 15,000 in American dollars. And this Brexit thing is reminding me of that.
C
I feel you 1,000%, Bob.
D
Are you following me?
A
The John Clay Wolf show does not advise or condone anything inhumane or illegal. We just wanted to know.
D
Turn that God damn phone off.
B
I can't. I can't.
C
Why?
B
Because I'm talking to Turley.
D
Oh.
A
Oh, you got Turley.
D
Holy hell.
B
I can't.
D
All right, let's turn your mic off and just be a producer if you're gonna have your effing phone on. So.
A
Gonna be a great day.
D
So, Jake, the problem. Turley went to Connecticut to DJs grandmother's bar mitzvah 9 last grandma's somebody's bar mitzvah and no, really. His grandmother's turning 100 years old.
A
Years old.
D
I don't need you to step on me to tell me that, okay? And JD's covering for him.
B
That's the thing, is I could piss you off today, and you throw me out. You're strong.
D
I will not be throwing you out. JD's flying the airplane today. He's. He's the producer. And you've done it before, and you've done it so well, but today you're doing it so poorly.
B
Everything's different today. It's like, that's licensing.
D
This.
B
Throw me in a 747. This is very different than when I did it a year ago.
D
Frank Richmond. You got to bring the collar up. Frank and Richmond. Good morning.
A
Good morning.
D
What you got?
E
Well, you know what? Just got. Got a divorce, okay? It's all inked up, and I've got it, and I bought this damn woman a car, and I've got to get rid of it.
D
Damn woman. How long were you with said damn woman?
E
You know what? Like, 16 years.
D
Oh, wow. Too bad.
E
16 years. And so, anyway, all that's inked up and done, but I have the car, and I don't want this car. I mean, it reminds me of her. I'm getting rid of it.
D
Okay, so you've got a 12. Here's what I see. A 12. Porsche 911 Carrera Cab. Cab. So it's convertible, and it is a 13,000 miles. What color?
E
Red exterior, black interior, black top.
D
Is it an SSS package?
E
Absolutely. It's. I mean, it's the.
D
Dude, you. Listen, you can't cuss on the radio.
E
Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. I'm sorry.
D
When I said s package, I wasn't looking for you to say the S word. I was asking if it's a 911S. Okay, so. Yes. So it is. Wait, it's a convertible Career S.
E
Can? Yes, sir.
B
Okay.
E
So I was. I'm up here in Richmond, and a buddy of mine, I was telling. He goes, hey, man, I heard this radio station, you know, and they're saying that they'll buy your car and they'll take care of it. And so, anyway, you got to give them a call.
D
Yep.
E
I said, and that's what I'm doing.
D
Yeah.
E
I'm seeing if you guys are for real.
D
We bought. We. We buy cars every day. You know, we buy over 100 a day. We bought 2300 last month. Actually, more than that. Well, we have two sections. We've got. It doesn't matter. We buy a lot of cars. So We've got a 12 Porsche 911 cab, C2, C2s, automatic, red. Does that, does it have a clean carfax?
E
Clean car tax I like. No issues on this car.
D
I like the, the 13,000 miles to 60 grand. Buy it. I mean, 58 grand. Buy it.
E
Well, you know, like I said, I've talked to some other people up here, and you're really close. I mean, I, I want to get rid of it. So let me ask you this. How does this work? I mean, I mean, are you guys going to send somebody? How does it work?
D
Yeah, what's going on?
E
Because I'm ready to sell this. I'm ready to get rid of it now. You're so close.
D
Well, before we go, before we get to all that, let's establish if I'm gonna buy the car. Just 60 grand. Buy the car.
E
60 grand will definitely buy the car.
D
Okay, so I'm gonna buy the car. If it's got a clean fax, if it has a. If it has accident history on the carfax, I'm going to back it up 10%, which would be $6,000. So I'm just telling you that up front. That's why we like them coming in through the website, we could see the accident history off the VIN numbers and the plate numbers y' all give us. So go, go to givemetheven.com. go to givemetheven.Com. put in your license plate number and put in the notes. John said he'd pay $60,000 for it. We will come. Do you have a payoff or is there a clear title?
E
So it should be hopefully easy.
D
Okay, so we, we will have. Do you want it done today or do you want it done Monday?
E
You know what? Hey, Monday's fine. I mean, it's, it's the weekend. So hey, Monday, Monday's fine. I mean, just tell me what I need to do.
D
Yeah, we'll be there Monday with a check in hand. Just go the website, load it up. My agents will call you and get a handle. 800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. He started that hay business like that McLaren guy did last week. He did show up to the party, by the way, McLaren guy, and we did pick that car up for a 87,000 when it was all said and done. And I sold it Wednesday and actually made a profit. It was an amazing. As an amazing feat. But that was, that was a good time at the, at the listener party. And we did. Texas did 2000. We busted 2000 last month and had a good turnout.
B
Great turnout. Bobo sang.
D
Bob was saying he didn't sing enough.
B
Why didn't you sing one great song? That's.
A
You know, I think. I think we probably have different. We're in different schools to thought about that. It's supposed to leave him wanting more.
D
You know, one song that's leaving him wanting a lot.
A
I've never played with that guy in public before.
D
You played with him in front of half a million people on the radio. Twice. You're in a little deal with just some of our friends. You can't knock off more than one song. What is that about Baba, by the way?
A
You don't think it's different?
D
Of course it's different.
A
Oh, you do it?
D
No, Because I'm not amused. If I had drums, I damn sure done it. If I was. If I had my drums there and I was behind y' all on drums, I wouldn't have let you leave.
E
Right?
D
Right. What's your problem? Why are you such a. I don't feel like you have to blow up and like. And not give the people more than one song. What kind of prick tease deal is that?
A
Look at me. Yeah, who's a Use the. Why didn't. How so, sir?
D
Why didn't you bring your guitar?
A
So you get all personal and get all weird because I sang a song for you. You. Me to do it.
D
Not for me.
A
For the people.
D
For your people. Is it just me? Just me? What. What are you, my jester? Are you my clown?
A
So you're all weird out there.
D
Are. Are you. Like, was this just my deal and I was just sitting, like, on a high horse wanting you to sing and dance for me?
A
Is that how that.
D
Is that how you felt?
A
Everybody seemed to enjoy it. I'm not that confident with that guitar player yet.
D
Why didn't you bring. Okay. How many live gigs have you done as a duo with your old guy a few years ago? 20? 50?
A
Oh, maybe it doesn't.
D
Okay, that's it? Yeah.
A
I couldn't get it out of the house.
D
All right, so why. So you and Hoods. You and he stood up there like the Indigo Girls with two acoustic guitars. Closer.
A
There is to find one guitar he played. I. I've never played guitar in public, like, you know, really? In a performance? Yeah, I don't play that well.
D
Okay, so you're just a singer?
A
Yeah, I can strum chords. I can. I know everything in the key of G. And I own a capo, so I can fake it up, but I'm Really. You give me a lot of credit, and I appreciate it. I'm glad you like the one song. I wish we could have done more, but we. We haven't worked anything up. I've never played with that guy before, so, you know, I mean, I'm not one to just say no outright, but. What are you getting all weird about?
D
I thought you were gonna stand up there and do your best. Indigos girls. I thought both of y' all were gonna be together and have your guitars and be Jack o' Queers.
A
What is that about?
D
You know? So.
C
So.
D
So you couldn't pull off more than just one song?
A
We did. I thought the song was great. I thought it was great. Was the song pretty good? It was great.
B
Everybody liked the Roadhouse Blues by the Doors.
A
Well, so there you go. It came out all right. It came out. We pulled it off.
D
Ned Barlow, you're on the air. You there.
E
Hello. John Claywolf.
D
Why did y' all not sing more than one song?
E
I'm sorry, what?
D
Why did.
E
Why.
D
Why Ned Barlow, the guitar player, sitting here? Why didn't. Why didn't y' all do more than one song?
E
Because Baba was tired.
A
I was tired.
E
That's what you told me. Ah, the truth revealed.
A
Whatever, Ned, you're fixing to break up the band.
D
Stinky Pinky forever. Stinky Pinky had one live performance. They sang one song. One song.
A
Right.
C
One.
E
Hey, I've gotten. I've gotten fired from band to the left, so I don't care.
D
All right? That's probably true, but I've got three.
E
Guitars in my trunk.
D
That's verifiable. So. Bob. Oh, you can't play guitar with. With Ned on stage because it's awkward. It's just a singer and a guitar player. You need to have a guitar that you can play.
A
I. I think. I think Ned and I would have to practice some before we perform in front of crowds like that. Plus, don't forget, we didn't have a proper pa. The microphone they gave us was the house.
E
That is true.
A
You know, pa.
D
Okay, so what day is the Stinky.
E
It was terrible.
D
What day is Stinky Pinky.
A
Band practice, Labor Day, 2022. I don't know.
D
You don't want to do it?
A
We haven't planned anything, John. Okay?
D
We're trying to do it right now. Do you not want to do it or do you. Are you going to be a bitch about it or are you going to do it?
A
You going to be a drummer about it?
D
Yeah, I'll drum all Right. Okay, that's fine with me.
A
J.D.
D
When we get done, go buy me a set of drums.
B
You got it. No problems.
D
Zildjian symbols.
A
Get all weird. Stand up and sing a song, man.
D
You know I can't sing.
A
No, no. Get all weird, you know, we stand up. Ned and I stand over there. We do a song. The microphone is not an ideal situation. People at tables in the back couldn't hear Ned's amplifier. They just heard my vocals coming out.
D
Okay, well, let's work on this. So what?
A
I didn't want to embarrass myself. I didn't want to embarrass Ned. We pulled the song off. It was good. Everybody liked it. You leave them wanting more. You don't do it and do it and do it till you suck and they boo. Right? You know?
E
Right?
A
You don't use it all up.
D

Carl.
D
Good morning. You're on the air. You got a quick question about Carfax? Yes, sir.
E
No, Me and my wife bought a Mustang three years ago from a new dealership with a clean Carfax about three weeks ago. Four weeks ago, I started working with Dustin, who works with you, to sell it, and he told me how to make a dirty Carfax. Needless to say, a year after I purchased it, Carfax reported that a month before I purchased it, there was damage to the wheel.
D
Was it new or used when you purchased it?
E
Used.
D
Okay, I've got an answer to this. I have the best answer to this in the world. And I have a similar situation. A brand new, not used, brand new Corvette where the customer went to trade it in and it had a dirty Carfax. And they're the only owner that ever had it. I'll get to that when we get back. We got to go to commercial break. My name is John Clay Wolfe, and I buy cars in the radio.
E
I don't know. I haven't priced it.
D
Well, I. You just did with me 55 GS. So. So do this. Load it up into the computer. My computer actually might hit you a little bit higher. It will. I was Waiting for you to come back and say, no, I'm not going to take 55. I'll take 56. And then I was. I was leaving myself some. Some room. When you go to my computer, give me the vin.com. it'll. It'll give you my top. Load it up. If you want to sell it, I'll buy it. I'll send. I'll get a check cut. Head down there and pick it up. Go to givemetheven.com or you can text. And this goes for anybody. You can text. Bid now. The words Bid now, space or no space. Bid now to 888111. That's 888111.

D
I was sitting at a hibachi table last night and ran into some people from Azel and they were aware of the DJ Pre K from Azel, Texas. You're famous. You're famous.
C
Well, what'd they have to say, huh?
D
I said, have you ever heard of DJ Pre K? And they said, from the John Clay Wolf show. I said, yes. I didn't tell them who I Was. But I said, I heard y' all were from Azel because they're sitting right next to me. And I said. And. And we just. I just kept it light. I didn't want to get into it because I didn't want him to know who I was. I didn't want to start talking about it.
C
Hey, for show man, where the players.
D
Play kind of like baba. Just wanting to sing one song. I was very. My family. If I. If I'd opened that door, it would just kept. Kept going. Yeah, Marshall in Boston. Boston. What are you doing? Get the color up.
E
Hey, J. This is Marshall.
D
Yeah, Marshall. I didn't understand what he said, did you?
B
He on the big 100 now.
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, yes. On the East Coast.
E
Yeah, you doing the radio thing on the big 100 now. So, guys.
A
Yeah.
D
Buying cars. Buying cars.
E
You should get. You should. You should get over here. Down here in Boston. We need you up here. We need a show like you do.
D
We need a show like you.
B
Like you do.
D
Okay, Boston. Actually, it's funny you mentioned.
E
So they do matter on Saturdays. It's like a. Like a bunch of Target shoppers.
D
What are Target shoppers?
E
Target shoppers with their golf shirts and their shiny Mackie sneakers.
D
So, Ted, tell me more about Target.
E
You know what I'm talking about. When's the last time you went to Target?
D
Marshall from Boston thinks that we should start up in Boston because the people that are on up there on Saturday mornings now are like a lot of shiny, shoe wearing Target shoppers.
E
Yeah, because Boston's red. Wicked, wicked red. He comes to Boston. We got the Patriots, we got better walnuts, and nobody shops at Target. Okay, Target show up as a remote homo.
D
We actually, we. We're working on a deal as we speak for Boston and Providence, Rhode island, ironically, so. So, Marshall, your dream may come true.
E
The only dream I want to come true is that they put the Redskins in the AFC east so that the Patriots can beat them to death two times a year.
D
Thank you, Marshall from Boston, listening to us on the iHeartRadio stream or at John Claywolf dot com. You can click the stream there as well. All right, Carl. Carl. Thank you for holding in. We were. He. Carl had a 15 in Dallas. He had a 15 Mustang GT. Bought it from a dealer. Now, did it have a clean Carfax when you bought it?
E
Yes, sir. Stuck to the windshield.
D
Oh, but you didn't pull it up?
E
No, I. No, sir. No, sir, I didn't pull it up.
D
It was the one they printed out here's the deal. This has happened to me. I mean, I. It's happened to me a few times. We do so many cars there. Obviously there's a wreck day that happens and it gets reported. And it takes time for it to process into the carfax. So I have sold cars to dealers before that were clean carfax. And then they pop up dirty a month later because I bought it and I didn't realize that it just got repaired. You may be selling me a car right now that you just got out of the body shop. And you know, we inspect it for paint and this and that, but if it's no big deal, it's no big deal. And then three months later, that accident when the police pulled over and reported it, gets popped on with the carfax. Does that make me a liar and a bad guy? No. Does it make you a liar and a bad guy? Kind of. Because you knew, you know. But it's not the dealers fault. So that, that's how it would happen. So there's another story. A brand new Corvette, brand spanking new, 4 miles, no, 38 miles. And that from a, from a local Chevy dealership. Sold it to a good customer. Guy goes, trade it in. You know, the dealership says, hey, we're gonna give you 10,000 less because the accident history of the car packs. What happened? How could that happen? If he bought it new, came from General Motors, he never wrecked it.
B
How could that possibly happen? Mistake.
D
Couldn't figure it out. So the dealership bought the car back just to shut him up. Because the customer called. It's like, what the hell? Why'd you sell me wreck been wrecked?
A
Yeah.
D
He's like, I didn't. We bought it from General Motors, brand new Chevy store. Yeah. So what happened was on these paper plates, these temp tags on the back, the lady came and bought the car the first time from the Chevy store.
B
Okay.
D
She drove it home that night, five miles away, brought it right back, unwound the deal and bought a Camaro ss. They took the temp tag off of the vet that she had and put it on the Camaro ss. But that temp tag was assigned to that VIN number in the state's computer of the Corvette.
B
Gotcha.
D
Okay. So the lady basically demoed the Corvette for a night. And they had, they did the temp tag in her name in on that Corvette. And the salesman moved the temp tag on to the new car that she bought. She wrecked the Camaro SS a few months later. No, not a few months later. Like quickly, white still had a temp tag on it. The cop put the tag number in the wreck, kicked back to that vin and it branded the facts on the Corvette.
B
Makes sense.
D
Took a while to figure it out. My name is John Clay Wolf. I buy cars.

D
Trump is putting a tariff on.
F
This is the John Clay Wolf show.
D
It's probably not that far off the truth.
A
Beer, avocado, tomatoes and tequila. Yeah.
B
Thanks Trump.
D
And females.
B
Thanks Trump.
D
Oh, yeah, well, I don't know that's taxable.
B
No.
D
800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.
B
Cost you.
D
James, this says you're in Toyote, Texas. Where the hell is Tiotech? Texas. Is that where they make Toyotas with a P?
E
Oh, okay. Yes, sir. Basin out in West Texas.
D
Are you oil filled, man?
E
Yes, sir.
D
Listen to us on 102, the classic rocker rock. 102, middle of Dessa 12 GMC half three quarter ton HD diesel. One hundred and seven thousand miles leather. So it's an SLT2?
E
I believe so, yes, sir.
A
I don't know.
D
20 grand, 22 grand. 23 grand? 24 grand. How much is it?
E
About where it's at?
D
Yeah, it's mid-20s. It all depends on the equipment. Take pictures of it. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up. Let me see it. 8008-0072-3480-0800. Jay in Oklahoma City. Question about Carfaxes and CPOs.
E
Yeah, I was talking to the guy that answered the phone and I've seen there's a Porsche dealership in Oklahoma City. The Porsche dealership. Anyway, they've got a couple mention names, but they've got a couple.
D
If it's Porsche of Oklahoma City, if it's Porsche of Oklahoma City, they buy cars for me on Wednesdays.
E
Okay.
D
And they may if it's something questionable. Maybe it came from me, maybe it's my fault. What's your question?
E
Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't really know because I've seen, I've bought CPO vehicles in the past and they've always had clean coin axes and I saw they had a maybe a Cayenne and a Macan looking vehicles. But on their website down the information they listed as CPO vehicles and I got to look at the call facts and both of them have accidents on them.
D
Are they minors? Are they minors or are they very minor accident?
E
Especially like on the macomb, it's got 17,000 miles and all it shows on the car package is like when it was sold at 5 miles and it shows an accident and it was taken into their position at about 17,000 miles and listed as CPO. So I didn't know if that would be kind of a hiccup down the road if you bought something like that trying to sell it again cheaper.
D
It's real simple. It's not that they're bad cars. It's not that, you know anybody's trying to pull a fast one. It's real simple. They're cheaper. It's the best deal in the world is what it is because they're cheaper and there's nothing wrong with them. In most cases, these minor carfax cars. It's such a joke that they take such a market hit from the public. And the reason they do is because exactly what you're doing right now, you're worried about what you don't know. So the way to sell them is make them cheaper than the other ones. But I mean, I mean, let's say, let's see, the bill at the body shop, even on a miner at the Porsche body shop was $8,000. That sounds like a bad wreck. It's not. I mean, a fender and a bumper on, on a 911, you know, 14 grand, 18 grand, that's what they're gonna charge. I could get it fixed for much, much, much less. But that's what the insurance going to hit it at. And that's what it's reported as on Carfax. You like, oh my God, 18 grand. Somebody died. You know, was this car at the funeral of the family that died in it? No, I mean it had a, it had a, you know, a 20 mile an hour. Whiskey. Whiskey Den. It's no big deal. The suspension wasn't touched. The motor mounts weren't touched. Nothing was touched. The frames fine. We changed the bumper and the fender. Okay, so 10% less, 15% less. Yeah.
A
Great.
D
Let's do it. If I, if anybody gets a, gets something from this conversation you and I are having right now, I would look for dirty Carfax cars that have accident history and buy them 10% less and beat the system. Because when you trade them in with the high miles on them, especially you guys with trucks and you, you sell them to me with 180, nobody gives a flying F about the Carfax. Once the miles are high, it didn't matter. So you buy it cheaper on the front side. And when you get out of it and you're done with it, it's the same price as the other ones anyway, so it didn't matter. Makes sense.
E
Yep.
D
Thanks. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Babo.
A
Yes.
D
What are you doing?
A
You know, a lot of people would say you're absolutely accurate about your terminology.
D
Wallace Edwards. We have our own Wallace Edwards here.
A
Many of the lighter car facts reports are actually caused by whiskey. I have a friend, Stan Massey at the Porsche store in Boise and he actually specializes in these CPOs. It's a, it's a cottage industry. He'll take just a little bit of damage, show people the carfax, and they think they're getting a real deal. What he's done is mark it up by 4%.
D
Mark what up the car. Okay.
A
I don't know how he does it, but he's making it for.
D
There's so many bad carfax cars in the system, and some of these dealer groups have these hard policies that they will not keep a bad carfax at all because they're scared of public opinion. So they wholesale. So the auctions are full of bad carfax cars now because that's what goes to the auction. And it's the stupidest thing in the world. The whole thing is ridiculous. A bad wreck. Yes, but you need to be a car man. You need to understand what you're looking at. You need to look at the, the width of the body lines and look at the welds in the, in the tucks in the corners and the, in the door jambs. And I mean, there's a lot of things you need to have a skill to look at. You know what you're doing. Pop the, pop the hood and look at the strut towers and around them. And are they factory welds? Are those little spot robotic welds all around it? Or did some guy from south of the border get in there with his cousin Jaime and re weld it? That's a different animal. That's a crashed, crashed car. Minor carfaxes help. Accident history. If right now you get in, if someone hits you in the butt on the highway going five miles an hour in a traffic jam, and y' all pull over and start arguing about it, the cops come and they take your license plate and the other guy's license plate. Two months later, you will have a bad carfax in your car. Yeah, because of that police report, that easy 10%. I also, we have a system called wreck check to diminished value losses. It's not fair. So, so the car gets wrecked. $100,000 car, now it's worth 20% less. $20,000 less. They, they pay $30,000 to have it fixed. Right. But they don't fix the 20% diminished value. So if you have a wreck, you can go to reccheck.com and get a check, have a wreck, get a check, go to rec check.com. and we have lawyers that call the insurance companies, negotiate and best value with them. Huh.
A
That sounds like a very handy deal.
D
It is. I haven't really. It's probably the first time you ever heard me talk about it.
A
Well, you know, but you sideswipe the swing set, your wife side swipes the swing set on the way out of the yard, goes to the body Shop reports it to the insurance, pays the deductible, gets it repaired and that, that throws the Carfax dude.
B
I mean let's see.
D
Why sideswipe the waitress at the location local bar one time, that one time, that one time you slip and you and you hook up with her. Does your wife ever forget it? Are you a bad person because of it?
A
No, you just.
D
Does it really change the structural integrity of your soul?
A
No. But. No, your value goes.
D
But your branded value went down.
A
20.
D
My name is John Cleveland. I buy cars. The radio for whoever me. Yeah, give me the vin.com. if we don't beat your car Carmax offer, we'll send you a check for 100.
A
You've heard of Grubhub, DoorDash and Uber Eats. Now introducing the newest, most convenient food delivery service ever, the ambulance. The ambulance not only delivers high sodium, high fat content fast food to people who never want to leave their sofa, they wait around for the impending heart attack and take you to the hospital.

I was back home that night binge watching Netflix with a dozen tacos. So next time you're at home and hungry, call the ambulance. We deliver fast food to you and you to the hospital fast. And 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, Rush Limbo, Keith Richards, Randy the Chipmunk and Satan, the Prince of darkness. And now your host, John Clay Wolf.
D
Howdy, howdy, howdy. That's a big lead in for a show that's been on the hour two hours already.
A
What?
D
Where now? We just joined all of our affiliates. Speaking of, we haven't given a shout out to a. You know, Vegas starts two hours before Texas. So when we start, what time do they pick us up? At 8. So they're on at 6 live and there's a replay that starts at 8, their time in Vegas. Anyway, good morning Vegas. We bought some cool cars off Vegas this week. We bought a Bentley Azure and 08 was 11,000 miles converter convertible and a another Bentley from a different guy. Imagine that coming out of Vegas. Oh, what's the big, what's the big Bentley called? Saloon. Oh, damn it. How do I buy these cars? I don't know. I don't know what they're called. The big heavy one. The Mosan. Mosane. Something like. Yeah, Bentley Museum. It's like, it's a Phantom. It's like a Rolls Phantom.
A
Okay.
D
But it's a Bentley and we got one of those out of there. And we've got. We got a Lamborghini Countach out of Vegas. And I sent it, I sent it straight. I didn't haul it back to Dallas. I sent it straight to a dealer in California, Kuntas.
A
I haven't heard that in a long time. That's the poster, Every American Boy right on his wall.
D
Right, right, right, right, right, right. I was looking at a Ferrari Testarossa at a friend's classic car facility in Dallas, Fort Worth. It's called Triple F Automotive. And he's got a Testarossa in there. Rasa. Testarossa. And you know, those cars went up in value quite a bit.
A
Ted Massey at the Lamborghini store in Boise.
D
Boise. Good morning, Austin. We are, and we're, we're, we're making some changes with the show in Austin as well. And you'll know that on June 21st. I'll let you know more details soon, but we've signed the contract yesterday.
A
22.
D
22. June 22nd.
A
Yeah.
D
Okay. When Bob was straightening me up, you know it's real. No, you know it, you know it's done.
B
It's done. Deal.
D
Okay. But I'll go ahead and throw it out there. It's gonna be on klbjfm.
C
Really?
D
You know, the classic rocker daddy.
A
That's good.
D
Moving on up like George and Weezy. Houston, this was a fun week. Monday morning I got up early and went to or Sunday night, actually went down to Houston and sat in with John, John Granada on ESPN in Houston. And his, his Lance Zurline was off. And I filled in for him. And that was, that was fun. But did you listen to any of that Bobbo?
E
Yeah.
D
Yeah. Did you notice that they were boxing me out a little bit?
A
Oh, maybe. You know, you got some good lines there, you know, and I can't help but feel a little, just a little bit jealous. Okay.
D
Oh, yeah.
A
I was like, well, no, but you.
D
You definitely the guest.
A
You got a neat chemistry with, with that guy.
D
Agreed. Agreed. We, we could roll forever.
A
Yeah.
D
But I did notice that the producer, not Granado, but the producer was boxing me out. He was pulling a stiff ass Mike Turley on me. And I've been around a stiff ass Mike Turley, so I knew what it smelled like. And when. What was that guy's name?
B
Dell.
D
And when, when, when I would get on something that he was worried about, he would just, like, pull out a newspaper and start reading.
A
What. What's that about?
B
I mean, on the air.
D
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Not a newspaper. But he'd just grab a clip. They had pregamed or he had pre gamed this because they knew. They knew I'm a wild card.
B
Sure.
D
So they're like, okay, when he goes down and jumps the car into the ditch, he floors it.
B
Yeah.
D
Then you just take it if you're scared and just start reading over it.
B
I got you.
A
You. If the.
B
If the shark today.
C
Right.
A
We're gonna give the shark a break.
D
I thought so. Then I just turned it back to him.
A
You didn't have any awkward, like. Like pauses or delays or anything?
D
You couldn't tell? I mean, we. We were ahead of the airplane the whole time.
A
That's what I mean. You and Granado can. Can roll pretty well. It's just like you and me talking.
D
Right.
A
But I wasn't there. It pissed me off a little bit.
D
So when Dell kept c. Blocking me and boxing me off, so I was like, okay, let's just turn this into you, Dell. Where are you from?
B
Do you think that was maybe part of the deal? He thought, maybe this is my time to be on. And John, this guy from Dallas, comes in stepping on my toes.
A
They always do. Substitute teacher time, right?
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we wound up talking about the stereotypes of. Of African males.
B
Are you serious?
D
Yeah. And. And I started calling him Mr. Ed and told him to. To prove it. Prove it to me otherwise.
B
No, no.
A
But they approached it from a strictly academic viewpoint.
B
Oh, my head hurts.
A
Wilbur, come in the room.
D
I couldn't do that in clacker code since he's from the village in Africa, but he's a good guy. We had fun.
A
Let me take another field. That's the prostate right there.
D
800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800. I hope I'm invited back. And if I. If I do. If I do it again, then we could do it remotely, because Granada and I, we all got it. We were around each other enough. Now we know what's going on. And I wouldn't have to be there. I wouldn't. But that's why I wanted to take the drive, because the first time. If we would have done it remotely, the first time we did it as. As doing a show with someone you've never done a show with.
A
Oh, yeah.
D
The chemistry would have been whacked out. So now that I have confidence in. And I'll Fill in for him anytime. I had a blast. Thanks, guys. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Indel. I'm just busting your balls. As big as they might be. Henry and eglinson, good morning. A 14 FX4. 15,000 miles. A 14 Ford F150 FX4 with 15,000 miles. Jesus. That was funny.
E
That's great.
D
Now I'm making myself laugh.
E
It was good. It was good.
D
It was good. 14 FX4 leather. No. No roof. No nav.
E
No. It might have nap, but it's my dad's truck. I'm not 100% sure. I know it don't have a sunroof. It probably got mad. It's got the FX package. It's in mint condition. It probably never even been in the rain.
D
It probably ain't even. It probably doesn't even exist. No, it's wonderful. Okay. Did you buy it from him?
E
No, no, no. He's looking at getting rid of. He's looking at Corvettes and something. He just don't want to deal with the public. He hates people today. I'll see what I can get for you.
D
That happens to older gentlemen. That happened.
E
I did buy his last truck. Yeah. Yeah.
D
They hate people. I mean, they just get to where you hate people. Is he 73? How old is it? 67. That's about when it starts. I think it's. 65 is when people start hating people. The old men, they don't trust anybody. They've seen too many lies and they just don't want to hear your lies.
E
Oh, yeah.
D
Is it. Is it a cylinder or six?
E
It's. It's the echo boost.
D
Okay. Six cylinder, double banger. No. Miles, you said yes on the sunroof or no on the sunroof?
E
No on the sunroof. Mint condition. Never been in four wheel drive. You don't even know how to put it in four wheel drive.
D
Okay. Sounds like a real rodeo cowboy. But it is in good shape. Yeah, that's good. No, Miles, excellent shape. Does 25 grand.
E
No. No, it does not. Well, the guy at the four dudes say proper.
D
He told.
E
He told him to stick in his.
D
Ass and then he left. Well, you got to be careful with the way you just said that on broadcast radio. Yes, Sorry. See, I say some weird things that y' all get used to me, but I'm very particular about the way I deliver. Deliver the comments where it's within guidelines. And the way you just said that. I would.
A
I would have.
D
I would have worded it differently. And if j. If turley. Was here. If Turley was here, he would have dumped.
A
Did anybody dump that?
D
No.
A
No.
D
Probably should have.
B
No.
D
Because.
B
No.
A
No.
D
All right.
A
Never mention it again.
D
I'll be quicker. I'll be quicker on the dump. Hang on. Let me get it over here. Play the button. All right. Sorry.
B
For anyone who heard it didn't violate FCC rules.
D
I know it.
A
Oh, really?
D
But. But it violated my code of ethics.
B
I got you.
D
He just violated me. Henry, Henry, Henry.
A
I. I tightened up myself.
E
No.
D
Okay, so no. What buys it? I can't give 30 grand for this thing. It's too old. I can't give 30,000 for. It's too old. Okay, but I'll give more. I'll give more than what they offered. Just. But here's the problem also. I'm dealing with a third party. Even though you're his son, and it just never works out. Can you have. Can you load it up and put it in our system and let us. And then let us see it and then make the deal with him? Because if he's the ultimate decision maker, we need to be dealing with him. But I'd love to buy it, and I will pay more than that sorry bastard that tried to steal it from him. And when I asked you if 25 would buy it. When I asked you 275 would buy it, I knew it wouldn't. But I wanted to hear the truth, and you gave me the truth. And I appreciate. Yeah, we're at 27. Got to give more.
B
Yeah.

B
Rush Limbaugh. Let me see. We can pull him up on the isdn. Rush Limbaugh. Oh, there's the button.
D
Sounded like something Dell would say, what that man said.
B
Yes, it did indeed. All right, Rush, are you there? Hold on.
D
Give me half a second. I'm getting there. And we got it.
B
Rush.
D
There he is.
E
Sean?
D
Yes.
A
Is this thing on?
B
Yeah.
D
Yes.
B
Geez.
A
I've been talking for 20 minutes. Have you guys been hearing all that? No Craziness. Something happens on a Saturday. I'll just be downright honest with you. It's my day off, and I'll. I was just telling my wife this 20 minutes ago. Drink as damn much as I want. Thank you very much. And.
D
But look. What.
A
It's not a problem.
B
It kind of is.
A
Doesn't feel like a problem.
D
Hey, Rush, I've got a funny story for you I want to share with you.
A
I'm dying to hear it.
D
Did you hear the guy that. That said the rough comment a minute ago that they told the Ford dealer?
A
I didn't hear a thing. I'm gonna.
D
They offered him 27, and my dad told him to stick it in his.
A
Thing, put it in his toolbox.
D
So how many times in your life, or especially in dealers, like, especially in the service department, when. When customers get angry in the service department, they threaten to burn this place. Place down. It's like a crazy woman. I'll burn this place down.
A
Sure.
D
You better get this straight now. I'm gonna burn this place down. Last April in Graham, Texas, the local Dodge dealership went to the ground.
A
They had a fire.
D
They had a fire.
B
Oh, my God.
D
The guy actually fell through with his promise, and he burned that place.
A
What was his problem?
D
I did not ask. I was so shocked that the guy actually went and burned the Dodge dealership grand. He decided. I don't know if he got drunk. I don't know what he did, but he. And I don't know what he used to accelerate it, probably gasoline, poured it and burnt the dealership down in Graham, Texas. So the Dodge dealership in Graham, Texas, is being rebuilt.
A
I'll be damned. He probably had a perfectly good reason. You know, I got my friend Hannity.
D
Yeah.
A
They talk about, you know, the Howard Stern.
D
Yeah. He's on the apology tour.
A
He's a. He's a fairly popular radio personality.
D
He's worth more money than you may even.
A
People say that he's been fired all the way to the top.
D
Yeah.
A
And this is. This is true. My friend Hannity, every station that he left to work somewhere else between 2001 in 2005, burned to the ground. Absolutely. Scorched earth. I don't believe I'm telling you. Of course, he always denies it.
B
Yeah. Because it didn't happen.
A
He looks guilty to me.
D
Right.
A
But. But if. If you know Hannity like I know.
D
Hannity, our publicist, Doug, is in New York this week at the talkers convention, and he sent me a picture of he and Hannity yesterday hanging out. And Hannity's older than dirt. He does not look as good on a cell phone snap as he does on television.
A
He also suffers from pyromania.
D
Hannity does.
A
Yeah, piss him off.
D
Yeah, he'll burn that place down.
A
He's gonna burn something down.
D
What's up in your world? We've got a minute and 13 seconds.
A
But look, there were now 23 candidates for the Democratic primary. I want to launch today what I'm going to call the big blue. The big blue move. But look, listen close. Conservatives out there need to go to your county registrar on Monday and register as a Democrat.
E
Okay?
A
Step one, step two in the primary, make sure we get a real loser in there. Someone with no chance of beating Donald J. Trump.
E
Trump.
A
And I know she's not running, but let's, let's, let's put Acacia Cortez up for it. It's got, not only, not only will she lose big, that's gonna be a fun election process right there. 2020, nothing but fun, kids. Register Monday. I'll see you there. And make sure you tune in Joel Rushbowl at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. Talent on loan from God.
F
And now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com what kind.
D
Of did you got out?
F
Hit him up right now. 1, 800, 800 radio.
D
Absolutely not.
F
This is the John Clay Wolf Show.
D
They need to do a current day remake of Fast Times at Richmond High. They remade every other movie. The world wants to do that one.
A
Yeah, yeah. Like a, like a, like a re.
D
What am I like with Drake? A Degrassi version. Speaking of. And I'm kind of annoyed with Drake being the self appointed spokesman of the Toronto Raptors all of a sudden.
A
Yeah.
D
But you know, they are whipping a Golden State's butt at home. Home.
A
They're playing some quality basketball, man.
D
This is a seven game deal.
A
Yeah.
D
You know, they're up three to one.
A
Yeah.
D
So Monday nights, the next one and then, then it'll be over Thursday. If they do it again. They won't do it again.
A
But, you know, and, and I'm not the, the sports head that Turley is. He's our expert in that field. Right. But how long have the warriors been such a great team? Aren't they on like a four season, five season run now? Being really, really good?
D
Yes.
A
Are they starting to suffer a bit from that New England Patriot syndrome where you just want to see him lose?
D
It's getting that way because I just.
A
Really want to see more than I want the Raptors to Win. I just want to see the warriors lose.
D
Why are the Raptors in the United States? In the NBA, it's called the NBA, The National Basketball Association. Why did we let those Canadians jump the wall? Why did we let them hurdle Niagara Falls and come down here?
A
That's a good question.
D
So if they don't win, can we take it because their visa is not intact? I think we take it away from them.
B
Yeah. You want to go home?
D
Is Kevin Durant playing? I haven't even paid any attention. Is he hurt or is he healthy?
A
No, I didn't see him the other night. Good question.
D
I need to watch. I have not been watching. And Monday I'll start watching.
A
The thing about Drake is during the games, he's. He's right. Of course. He's right there, you know, courtside. And he's. He's touching the coaches. He's very animated. He's like. Like, you should sell. Appointed mascot. Yeah, he. He really is. It's. It's getting to be pretty. Pretty annoying for some of the players and coaches. They've. They've been pretty outspoken about it. Yeah.
D
8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. What's today's date?
A
The 8th. It is the 8th. Oh, June.
D
So, so, so, so, so, so Elton John's new song. A new movie.
A
So did. Did you get out and see the film?
D
I did not get out. I turned it on in my house. So there's this new racket called, like, these overseas. I don't know. I think they're Chinese companies are streaming American movies that are in the theaters, and you can jump them. You join the service through the fire stick, and you can have them in your house. So right now I can watch Rocketman at home already? Really? Through a stream, an Internet stream that goes through TV.
A
What do you pay?
D
200 every six months. It's got 3,800 channels. It's got everything in the world. But the racket on the movies is pretty sad. So what they do is they have some movie employee or somebody go into the theater and sit calmly with a video camera.
A
Oh, really?
D
And record the movie.
B
Illegal.
D
Record the movie? Yeah, from the seats. And when you're watching it, first of all, the sound is terrible and the video is pretty bad. But then when people stand up or scratch their back or move around.
E
Yeah.
A
You can see the audience walking out during the credit.
D
Literally. Not during the credit. In the middle, if they get up to go to the bathroom, you see a guy pop up in front of you.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
D
So I only watched about, I don't know, 20 minutes. And my wife and I decided to wait and go. And we're gonna go to the movie and pay the ticket price, go see it. Because I'm such a big Elton John fan. But what I've seen In the first 20 minutes, maybe 30 minutes, I'm not that impressed with. But I don't like musicals. They make me uncomfortable.
A
Musicals are hard to take for me. My kids love Chicago and Moulin Rouge and all that. I don't need actors singing good old rock and roll songs, first of all.
B
Okay, so now the Queen movie had music in it, but it was not a music.
D
This is a musical where they sing the lines. I hate it, too.
B
Only the whole time they sing.
D
No, not the whole time.
B
But enough to irritate you.
D
Yeah. Tell me more.
A
Tell me more.
D
I liked Greece.
A
I did, too. And I liked Xandu and I liked Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. And those are all the musicals I'll ever need.
D
Well, watch this one. Go. Go watch Rocket man at the theaters. The Queen movie's much better.
A
I have to. Annie's. Annie's really excited about it. You know, we saw the Freddie Mercury movie last year together, and she said, don't you watch that Elton John movie without me. So I gotta wait till I get together with Annie and we're gonna go see Rocket Man.
B
I guess you go to theaters, Bobby, or.
A
Oh, yeah, I like here in the town where we live. There's a. There's a AMC Palace 9 downtown. It's a really nice two story theater with a bar. You know, you can. You can buy a glass of beer and watch a movie. And, you know, they have big screens, recliner seats, you know.
C
Yeah.
A
I do you for important films I go out and watch.
E
Okay.
B
I just know sometimes you borrow things from the Internet.
A
Well, no. You know the secret to that, John? You're watching what we would call an X Vid. Just a bootleg, straight up.
D
Bootleg.
B
Yeah.
A
On your fire stick. If you can see the audience and the. Sounds terrible. It's an X Vid.
D
Right?
A
What you do. And I can show you how you wait until they come out on dvd, until they're released on dvd, and then all the good copies flood the Internet and you can, you know.
D
Okay.
A
If you're willing to wait four months.
D
I'll just go to the movie and watch it. Dewey, Good morning on there.
E
Hey. I just want to let you know, man, I just sold my car to y' all yesterday, and y' all Did a great job, just like you said. It was, it was good. Gave me a fair offer and really quick, like took 15 minutes to get it done.
D
It's fast. We really, we really did. You ever see the movie the founder, the McDonald's movie?
E
No.
D
Okay, well, there's this part where Ray Kroc was setting up and the McDonald's brothers were trying to expedite the process and they're laying out, they went to a bit, they laid out chalk on the, on the ground where like the fries go here and the pickles go here and the onions go here. And we've really done that over the, you know, trying to set this process up to shave down time and make it so damn fast and smooth. And I love hearing you tell me that that was your experience because if we can buy cars, like McDonald's sells hamburgers, wheat worms to something.
E
Yeah, it was, it was legit. I, I didn't have any, any idea.
A
I was going to do that.
E
And I said, well, let me give it a try. And y' all gave me a fair offer. And, and like I said, Zayden, the young man that helped me, it was like, it was very, very fast, very quick. Great kid. And I did good. It was cool.
A
I'll do it again.
E
If ever, when I need to get.
A
Rid of another car, I'll do it again.
D
I got a question just so I can pick your brain. Did you go read our reviews online? Because what I hear about a lot of people is they're leery. They think it's too good to be true, there's going to be a catch. And then they go, did you read our reviews online at all?
E
Actually, no. You know, I've listened to the radio show every now and again and you know, it makes me laugh. And I thought, well, hell, I'm just going to try this and it works out great.
D
I gotcha. Thanks, dude. David, Pasadena. 08 California. I mean 08 California. 08 Cadillac CTS was 70. Leather roof. Nav is a two door, four door.

So go to givemetheven.com and load it up. Let's do business. My name is John Claywolf, and I buy cars on the radio for givemethevin.com.

A
That's what we used to call Blue Doc music.

Right. Yacht rock.
A
Anyway.
D
Anyway, this is the. This is the ultimate Sun Just Set Boat song. Absolutely. Yeah. 8008-0072-3480-0800, radio. Bob, you subscribe to Playboy?
A
Yeah. Yeah.
D
What are you, a pervert?
A
No, but they've been saying, you know, when Hugh Hefner died, they radically changed Playboy. I mean, no more, you know, naked pictorials. They took out Playboy. Party jokes.
D
Party jokes are gone.
A
Some of the best parts of the magazine.
D
Well, this year they quit making a magazine. They stopped the actual physical publication, and they just brought it back.
A
Right. They're. They're publishing quarterly now. So my first. My first issue that I got was a spring issue, and it's April, May, June. All right, the thing is about an inch thick. I'm not kidding. At least three quarters of an inch thick. It weighs four pounds, literally. There are three magazines in it, three magazines worth of Playboy. They talk to comedians, singers, politicians, you know, a lot of articles. A lot of articles. There are three centerfolds in this thing.
D
So they brought back the girls.
E
Yeah.
D
Okay.
A
And the different thing on the centerfold is they've got her picture that folds out from the magazine.
D
Hey, DJ Prek. If you don't answer the phone, you can't put them on hold, you moron.
A
And the other side has a really nice. Hang on painting.
D
Sorry, my phone screener can't see you there. So I'll answer the call in the middle of Babo's talk and I'll put you on hold, okay? Can you hang on? Yeah. All right.
A
He's not in there.
D
I mean, where'd he go? I don't know. Oh, it's. Anyway, just keep going. We don't need him. We made it a long way without him.
A
Yeah, it's all there. All their masthead stuff looks the same. Playboy party jokes are back. The cartoons are back. You know, back a couple years ago when half died, they really, like, changed it dramatically for the worse.
B
There was no. No nudes.
A
Yeah.
B
For a while.
A
Yeah. No, you'd see a lot of undies.
D
Yeah. So do you like it? Are you glad you did it?
A
I'm quite enjoying it. I forget how high brown Playboy in its heyday really was. I learned a lot from Playboy as a. As a, you know, late teen and early twenties guy. They teach you how to tie a club tie. You know, how to. How to clean a trout, how to make a perfect martini.
D
So they're like a grandpa and a drunk uncle all in one.
B
Yeah.
D
Well, that's good. Brent, Louisiana. Are you there?
E
Yes, sir.
D
I saw that. There's a brain eating. What city in Louisiana are you in?
E

E
No, I didn't read that. I don't. I didn't read that.
A
No.
B
Yep.
D
True story. Yeah. So check your brain like they did in the Alice in Chains song.
E

D
What you got?
E
2018 Raptor.
D
Yeah. You called in before.
E
What.
D
What did you have last time?
E
They didn't give me an offer.
D
Okay, okay, okay. So that was last. I don't know how many miles.
E
Yes, 41,000.
D
So does it have the 3013 CP package? Does it have a sunroof and the other stuff that goes on the package?
E
Yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
D
All right, all right. Fifty grand. Fifty grand. Fifty grand. 50 grand with a hundred with 40 on it.
A
All right.
D
Sounds like a lot of money to me. Hang on, let me look at this. This sounds like.
E
That does sound like a lot, but I'll take it.
D
Hang on.
B

D
Everybody slow down. Everybody hit the brakes. Hang on, hang on. What are we doing? That's fine. I'll buy it. You took it. I bought it. Okay. This is where you fire the. Sell that sounder, JD But I know that you're not as good as Turley, so you can't do it.
B
There's nobody.
D
Goody. Hey, Bryce. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Brent, I'm gonna put you on hold. Let DJ grab your information so that when it comes into. When it comes into the system, it'll go directly to him, and you can deal with Arybonics car buyer.
E
All right? Buddy.
D
All right, hang on. 800. Do you have the Rosetta Stone bit? I've had a lot of people ask about where to find that online and I don't. We didn't put it online, but. But it is one of DJ Pre K's Better Ready, Better Bits.
B
Yeah, sure, we go.
A
If you're one of the millions of people who think that they just can't learn how to speak hip hop, it's not that you can't learn, it's that you've been doing it the wrong way. And that's why we've created Brozetta Stone, the hip hop language learning program.
D
Before Brozetta Stone, I didn't know my hizzy from my VA jizzy. Now bitch be ballin' without sounding whack.
A
Try Brozetta stone free for 30 days. And if you're not surrounded by big booty shaking dancers while you make it rain cash money in trendy nightclubs, we'll refund your G's.
C
Hello, my name is Austin Edward Parky ii, but my friends call me Pre K. I invented the Brozetta Stone software cause I couldn't understand y'.
B
All.
C
Better yet, y' all probably couldn't understand me neither. And since y' all my homies holla.
A
At your boy, call now for your 30 day free trial. And no worries, cuz at Brodazetta Stone, we ain't about ganking the player. Yeah.
D
When you say cuz, do you mean cuz or because cuz what?
A
You mean cuz?
D
Okay. All right, all right. Sally, Sally, Sally, Sally in Wichita Falls, Texas. How are you?
E
Yeah, just fine, thank you.
D
You have a 12 Mustang GT500 Shelby?
E
Yes.
D
What color?
E
Black.
D
Convertible or hard top?
E
Hard top.
D
You sound put out. Are you in a good movie?
E
Yes, I'm fine, thank you.
D
I'm used to dealing with women that sound put out. My wife sounds put out with me a lot. And that's why I could pick up on it. I just don't know if you're mad at me because that happens often with women or if you're mad at something else or you're just frustrated that you're even discussing a car deal. And that puts people in a bad mood already. It really does.
A
She sounds like she's under duress, like somebody's making her call.
D
3.6 thousand miles. 3,600 miles, is that right?
E
Just under that? Yeah.
D
Okay, so it didn't have any. Was it your dad's or. Why did we have a 9 7, year old car with 3,000 miles, who bought it?
E
I did.
D
You just did. You just, you just didn't drive it much, Just like, just weekender? No, it was.
E
No, it wasn't even a weekender. It's just, just every once in a while.
D
Okay. Yeah, I think it's a $35,000 car based on what I'm looking at. Wow.
E
Okay, thank you.
D
If that works, go to giveme the VI N. Give me the VIN. Give me the VIN.com and load it up. Do it anyways. Get us some pictures. Pictures always help. But I mean, I'm looking at a market recap actually on that one. I was looking through some comps and that's the highest one that's ever sold. There's one that sold for 32,000 that had 58, 800 miles. This one has 3, 600 miles. So I think leaning out there at 35 grand is plenty. 800. 800. Radios how you call in here? Hey, Jose, a 10 CRV with a buck 60 on it's got to be worth a thousand dollars, right? Probably, I don't know, maybe two. Tell me maybe about two grand. Maybe 2500. Two to 2500? Yeah, two grand. Go to give me the ven.com. load it up. And when you get into stuff like that, the Carfax doesn't matter. Yeah, just fully depreciated cars. It just doesn't matter. It doesn't. I mean, hell, if that car was salvage title, it'd be about the same. It just, it just really doesn't change anything now when you get them down to fully depreciated to that point, it just doesn't matter. Do they run? Does the air blow cold? Does it have 30 minutes of life left in it? That's really what they're looking at.
A
Intrinsic value.
D
Randy the chipmunk.
B
Yes.
D
Has his hand in the air.
B
He does.
D
Randy, what are you doing? Hey guys. What's going on? Not much. What do you want, period? You've been watching the basketball game?

G
I can't trust them. I'm starting to get a little more cautious, you know?
D
Yeah, I want.
G
Hey, I want to thank you too, J.D. ryan, he's my friend.
B

Take it back to the. That tattoo artist can straighten it out.
B
Yep. Yeah, they feel a lot better.
G
But, you know, the vaporizer is kind of funny. You gotta get used to it, you know. Makes me cough. And they say when you quit smoking, you see Leah start to regenerate in your lungs and it itches. And the only thing that helps the itch is. Is a delicious Marlboro cigarette. Yeah, there's catch 22. There's a lot of catch, that. Catch 22. You know what I mean? That's all right. Sometimes I wonder, though, if I'm smoking the vapor or if it's smoking me.
D
How old are you, Randy?
G
Well, I'm not. I'm not a spring chipmunk, you know. I'm four.
B
We have a heart out in 20 seconds, Randy.
D
I'm sorry, Randy. We gotta go.
A
We'll be back.

D
Who sings this? Dr. John.
A
That is Dr. John.
D
Rest in Peace.
A
True original.
D
Where's he from? New Orleans.
A
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He. He embodies all that, you know, when you listen to. Who are they? The Neville brother. Any of those artists down there, really? Dr. John was carrying that torch for New Orleans music in the mainstream before anybody, really, in the modern age. Rest in Peace. True original, man. You ever seen him play?
D
No.
A
Dude. Dr. John did things with a piano like Joe Walsh does with a guitar, man. He did things that it was not designed to do. Outstanding. And no grandstanding, not like Jerry Lee Lewis and Elton John. Just, I mean pure, pure music.
D
Okay, there's a cool car. Sit here. I want to grab it before we get off. Get it, Tim. D.C. good morning, Washington.
E
Hello. Good morning.
D
Hello. Good morning. I see 15 Porsche 911 Turbo S. 18,000 miles. So it's a little. It's not miley, but it's not good miles for a car that heavy. Convertible. What color?
E
It's black.
D
What color interior?
E
Black.
D
Does it have the yellow seat belts?
E
This one has black seat belts.
D
Does it have yellow instrument clusters? Does it have any yellow stitching? Is there any yellow accents? Because I've had these cars before and I'm kind of familiar with them.
E
Right. This one has stitching on the seat belts, but not yellow gauges.
D
No. Okay, so what was MSRP? Was it 200 something?
E
MSRP? What's that?
D
Manufacturers suggested retail price. The window sticker.
E
I'm not sure. I bought it from a. I bought it from a surgeon, a plastic surgeon a couple years ago and I know he paid over like 200 grand.
D
Okay, well, it was new, you know, it should be about a hundred and fifty thousand dollar car based off of my experience with them. Are you a straight seller?
B
Yeah.
E
Two to.
D
Does it have a clean car?
E
What do you mean?
D
Any accident history though? Does it have any accident.
E
It does have. No, it has a clean carfax.
D
Okay. I thought I.
E
It has a clean car factor.
D
I thought that because I see a note here that you told DJ Pre k that it had an accent history.
E
No, no, I didn't say that. I mean it.
D
Well then load it up into the system. Let me look at, let me look at the VIN and run the carfax. Run the auto check and, and if it's a. If it's what you say it is, I'll pay 150,000.
E
150?
D
Yep. All right, thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio Paul 14 vet with 27,000 miles?
E
Yes.
D
Which, which, which, which, which LT LZ? Is it two or three?
E
It's the PE, the limited edition 750 cars. This is number 257.
D
So is it a 207 performance package?
E
Yeah.
D
Okay.
E
Are you familiar with the PE?
D
Somewhat. I mean there's so many versions of these things. I'm familiar with the 207 pack. Is that the PE?
E
No, it's the one that. It's got all the options. Limited run of 200. Got a stinger hood Corvette. It's got the stingray emblems all over it, but.
D
Okay. It's not a Z. It's not a Z06.
E
No performance edition. It was pretty limited. Like I said, limited run.
D
So does it have more horsepower than the non pe?
E
No.
D
So it's cosmetic?
E
Yes.
D
All right, so we've got magnetic suspension. Yeah. Is it a Z51? Yes, it is a Z751. I'm gonna hit it as a 3LT. And it's a. It's. It's a. Yeah, the PE was a.
E
75, 000 window sticker.
A
Okay.
D
And is it a. It's a Cooper convertible.
E
Okay. They didn't make it in the convertible.
D
Gotcha. How many miles?
E
27.
D
100. A thousand.
E
Thousand?
D
Yeah.
E
It's a daily driver.
D
It's a 40 grand rig.
A
Yeah.
D
Yeah. I'll buy it, you'll sell it. Okay.
E
This is my first call.
B
Yeah.
D
All the real business. I mean, we do real business on the radio. There's no question. Just a lot of people aren't prepared to do it. So, you know, you know where we're at. On it. Loaded into givemethevin.com. you can put in the license plate of the VIN number and. And we'll go from there. Wrap it up. Where do you live? All right, well, we have an office in Fort Worth. We can cut you a check today if y' all decide you want to get out. If you have a title to it and bring it over. If not, we make your payoff. If you. If we owe you money, the difference between your payoff and the 40 GS, then we'll write you a check for that. If you owe us money, you know, if we're 40 and you're 40, your payoffs 45, then you need to bring a check for the difference. But either way, you know, the math all works out how it's supposed to. And we'll get her done.
E
It's paid for.
C
Yeah.
A
Thank you.
D
Yes, sir. Thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Stephen Belton. 11 Tahoe Z71 with 120. Does 11 grand buy it? 12 grand buy it?
E
No.
D
What buys it?
E
My payoff's 13, 4, 11, 120 on the mile.
D
So now we're getting down to brass tack. Is it like 119 or 121? Because it makes a difference, as stupid as that sounds.
E
No, it's 120,000, 540 miles.
D
So it's crossed the 120. So it knocks it out of that because I have a lot of dealers that will finance that car themselves and what they call high end note dealers. But they won't buy over one two zero, they'll buy under one two zero, and that makes it worth about another fifteen hundred dollars. I want to buy the car, but it is very.
E
It's very clean.
D
I can get really close to your payoff. I might be able to make the payoff. I need to see it. Go to givemetheven.com, load it up. Just go and put your payoff in there. And we know that that's what we're fighting. And let's see if we can get there.
E
Okay? Okay. And I love your show, man.
D
Hey, thank you. Your Belton is that Austin listening area.
E
Yeah.
D
I don't know if we're gonna stay on this station or not that we're on right now, but I do know we're adding a new station in the end of June in Austin, an FM rock station. I'm not gonna say what it is, but you can figure it out. It's the big one.
E
Yeah, I already sold you one of my pickups, you know, probably eight, nine months ago. So it really was a smooth transaction, too.
D
Thanks, Steve. See, man. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio is my call in number. Chuck wants to hear Tony Romo's dad. Chuck. Tony Romo's dad is not here today. And we're in the off season. And we'll get to that come football time, which we're all looking forward to, Chuck, in Conroe, Texas, Las Vegas. Hey, D.J. what happened to my Palm Springs, California caller? Why are these California guys so pricky? I mean, they're like a BMW. BMW driver in Dallas.
A
They're prickly. Prickly, prickly people.
C
Yeah, we had a fraudulent one, man. He's really from Houston.
D
No, we didn't, because. Because the number showed up in. In Palm Springs. I saw it when it called in.
C
Yeah, I saw it too. But I asked him where he's from. He said, H town, baby.
D
Oh, maybe move. You know, everybody's just keeping these cell numbers with them now and going around the country. Remember long distance calling, Bob, wouldn't that.
A
Oh, yeah, yeah. No longer exists.
D
And we're all bitching about our cell phone bills, But I remember when mine used to be 800 to a thousand a month. When I first got in the car business, I talked. God, I forgot how many minutes it was. It was so stupid. I mean, on the phone all the time, roaming, roaming.
A
You Know, that made quite a dent sometimes.
D
Yeah, My. My cell phone bill was like 800 to $1200 monthly in 96, you know, think about, though.
A
If they lured us just. They lured us out to Los Angeles. We had to move this operation out there and do a show from out there. You wouldn't. You wouldn't change your cell phone number? No, you can't change your number. It's like your home number now, right? You change it, nobody can get you it. You lose people that way. And I know people, young people that, you know, get a new cell phone number every six months. They just don't realize what they're throwing away, you know, their government id.
D
I think it's more important than your Social Security number at this point. It can be, man, you know, Kevin in Dallas, Texas. 15 exploder limited leather, two wheel drive, 116,000 miles. 10 grand. 11 grand. You there?
E
Am I right?
D
10. 11 grand.
E
Yeah.
D
I bet you're buried bad. What do you owe on it?
E
I think around nine.
D
Okay, then you're not. I'm a 10 to 11 grand buyer. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up.
E
I'll do it.
D
Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Virginia. Tim in Virginia. I see you there. Just load it into the website.
A
99.
D
The car's so old, I've got to see the pictures, and you've got to send me pictures of the rust. And it's there. I just need to know where it is and how bad it is so I can appraise it properly. There's no way to buy a 99 Powerstroke from Virginia without seeing pictures, because every time I do it, I get hammered, and I'm tired of getting hammered. These. These rust belt cars, it's just a whole other level of anything over 5, 7 years old up there. That's a different animal. It's a different animal. It's just a different animal.
B
And then you're gonna have to start watching for flooding again because there's been so much flooding in Oklahoma and Louisiana.
D
Louisiana got hammered by tornadoes. Yeah.
B
And along with that comes a flight.
D
Did our office in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, get. Did any of our cars get blown away?
A
That.
B
I don't think so, but I don't know. But they took some pictures of the parking lot.
A
It was.
B
Yeah, it had some water.
D
Did it come up into the door?
B
He said, no good.
D
Did our. Did our good times van get flooded?
B
I don't know about that.
D
That all right? Huh? 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Is your clock right.
B
The clock is correct now. Yes.
D
Okay. 800. 800 radio. J.D. what's in the news?
B
What is in the news? John, you know, there's lots of things that are in the news. One of them is the following thing that I'm gonna tell you here. What were we talking about earlier? Oh, this week, President Trump sent a Twitter tweet denying that he called Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, nasty, demanding that cnn, the New York Times, another apologize for reporting on the story. Fact check. There's the audio. We have the audio here from one of the interviews. Let's see here. This one.
D
Okay.
B
There we go.
D
Do you think Meghan Markle's nasty or not?
A
No.
D
You know, the question was asked to me, and. And I didn't know that she said anything bad about me. It sounds like she did, and that's okay. I mean, hey, join the crowd. But it seems like she had. And they said some of the things that she said, and it's actually on tape. And I said, wow, I didn't know she was nasty. I wasn't referring to her. She's nasty. I said she was nasty about me. And essentially, I didn't know she was nasty about me. It just shows you how terrible the news can be, because if you read that, I'm sure you did. That was not talking about nasty. She was nasty. We had to clear it up because it was a little bit ambiguous. I don't mind clearing it up, actually, because you read it. I mean, they have the tape. They released a tape, and CNN and some of the other phonies, they went out and they. They took the tape and they even tried to, you know, disgorge it from that. So what happens is they talked about nasty, but we were talking about nasty. She was nasty to me. And that's okay for her to be nasty. I've heard, hey, can you kill this? I've heard enough of his. I like Trump. I love the economy he's built. We have a real estate developer, businessman as a president, and he is creating one of the best, strongest economies we've. You will see in your lifetime. I believe that. Yeah. But his double talk and silliness is just so hard for me to listen to.
B
It's hard to wrap your head around sometimes.
D
Yeah. I mean, what he's doing is good.
B
The way he does it, not so much.
D
Well, I'll put up with it because of the business plan he's put together.
B
Right.
D
It's fine. I like it. And I have people. We've listened. He's gonna hard on Trump, dude. I've had other people, I get all like, we're Trump haters. That's not true. No, I mean I'm furthest thing from the truth.
A
I, I try every day of my life to drag it closer to the middle because really all the opposition doesn't serve any purpose at all.
D
But all the silly talk nasty man was she said to me and mean. I mean it's like, listen to my, my 15 year old daughter talk about her and I friends, you know how.
A
He talks and we, the, the, the.
D
Clip that we were. What did you say about me?
B
What did you say about me?
A
We were supposed to play she's bad and ugly. This guy from the sun in the UK interviewing Trump. He says, you know, she, she skipped your inauguration party and she did some things to. She's very outspoken against that.
B
Audio. You want to hear?
D
No, because I want to take Bill.
A
But his answer was, well, I didn't know she was nasty. Well, he wasn't calling her nasty. You know, that's one of those things, you know, bad on the news media. They kind of played it up like he called her nasty.
D
Yeah, just. Who cares? Bill, Katie. Texas 13 Maserati GT Sport Coupe. 35,000 miles, black. Does it have any. Check engine lights on. Do you, have you had the services done? Is there anything I need to know about it? Does it need tires?
E
All the service done. I have all the records. Tires in great shape. No, no engine lights. I got all the documentation for it.
D
Convertible or hard top?
E
It's hard top.
D
Okay. Does it have a sunroof?
E
What it does, yes.
D
Okay. And the miles are. Do you have a title or. We need to make the payoff.
E
All right. Clear title in hand.
A
Yes.
D
Does 30 grand buy it?
E
I was thinking like 32. That's about what I got. That's about what would square me away with this thing. I got to get it, I got to get it going because I'm about to move. Okay.
D
We're on the edge of warranty. Is the reason these Maserati's out of warranty are high risk. So if I give you $32,000, I own the car.
E
Yeah, absolutely. Can you do it?
D
I own the car. I can get them over there today. Go ahead and go ahead and take pictures. Front. Go ahead and take pictures front and back of the title. Take a picture, your driver's license. Go to. Give me the vin.com, load it up and just, just push all that on the original picture submit. And, and we're gonna Pull the Carfax, make sure it's clean. And if it's not, we're gonna back it up 10%. Is the Carfax clean?
E
Yeah, perfect.
D
Clean, perfect. We're done. 32 grand. You'll have a check this afternoon and a driver come to your house here. And Katie, our guys dispatch from spring and they'll be there. Yeah know probably 4 o', clock, 5 o' clock day with a check. I have a check printer down there in the office and it'll initiate and it'll just. It'll be the damnedest. It's like FedEx. It's like Amazon car buying service. It's fast.
E
Sounds easy enough.
D
Thanks. 800-800-723-4. My name is John Clay Wolf and I buy cars on the radio. Forgive me.
F
The vin.com broadcasting live from the Wolf radio studios. It's time for the John Clay Wolf show presented by. Gimme the vin.com.
D
Rocket man in the theaters now. It's good if you like musicals and like the Elton John story.
B
Do they talk a little bit at least and break into a tune? Well, some don't. Some musical. I saw musical not too long ago and every single word is like, why are you going down the road? Stop it.
D
No, it's not irritating. He had a little rough childhood. Yes, he did for sure.
B
I don't even know nothing about his.
D
Child goes out and he sees. He's riding his bike and he sees his mom making out with another man in the car and his dad leave and just, just a lot of weird stuff. But yeah, he, he was, it was just. It makes sense, you know, why he created this character to escape his real life.
B
Got you.
A
They should have waited another 10 years before they came out with that movie. Really. Because why everybody's making the comparison.
B
Oh, between the.
A
The Freddie Mercury movie was so, so, so good money.
D
Queen as a band has made off of that movie because they're just complete. So they came last year and we went and watched them and there was a good crowd. This year they could sell out AAC three times. I mean, all the tickets for this year's pass because all the kids are into it. My kid's favorite band is Queen.
A
Every word, everywhere.
D
I mean, he, he's completely. Every word. He's Queen, Queen, Queen, Queen. They've made a resurgence heavier than they ever imagined. And Adam Lambert is one of the best matches for replacement singer we've ever seen.
A
He's filling the spot really well. I was quite impressed when I finally broke down and listened to Some of his numbers with the band, you know, they probably should record some new material with him.
D
If you're not a big Boston fan and know Brad Delp and all this stuff. And you went and saw Boston today. Boston, the band. Don't look back. You wouldn't know that they had a replacement singer.
A
No, he's good.
B
Wow.
A
And there's such a wild band, man. They're almost like the Doobie Brothers. I mean, there's seven of them up there, you know, making quality rock and roll. That's one of the best concerts in the last five years for sure.
D
Yeah, big concert. Summer. All in. All markets lined up. This is the time to go see them is when they're touring. 800-800-7234 is the call in number. I'm looking for some cool cars that would perk the listeners interest in a John and Seabrook. John and Seabrook. An 11 Kia Soul with 105, even though it's a four wheel drive, is not a sexy car for the radio, if that makes any sense. Are you there, John? And your. Your response to the call is not very good either. Just go to. But do I buy it? Absolutely. We buy everything. Just go to givemetheven.com Brian has an O2 BMW 325 convertible with 100 on it. And that car, he's gonna be so disappointed in the value of it, he's gonna get mad at me. But I'll go ahead and let him get mad at me. Hey, Brian. What? J.D. run. I know you're, you're new at running the board, but if you don't pot the collars up. Sorry, I can't hear.
B
I'm trying to figure out the next break. My bad. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm guilty.
D
Brian, are you there?
E
Hey, how's it going?
D
I'm good. What do you want for this convertible BMW? This old body style? I don't know.
E
I'm just trying to figure out what it's worth.
D
I think two GS kills it. And it breaks my heart to say that because that car was a, you know, $55,000 car. New. It was awesome. It was this, it was that. And it just. It breaks my heart to see what these Germans are worth. On the flip side, when they're, you know, 20 years old and have a hundred thousand miles on, they're worth nothing. They're just worth nothing. It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen. I'd keep it if I was you. Unless you just don't Want it in your driveway? All right, thanks. 800-800-72-3,4.

It's up to you, man.

D
So you've got it.
A
Way.
D
Oh, Satan is.
A

D
Is.
B
Oh, my God.
A
Procrastination, Definitely my favorite sin. Why not? Let's. Let's talk about the periodic table.

E
Yes.
D
Does 22,000 buy it?
E
I was looking for 25.
D
So if I give you 25. If I give you 25. Let me ask more questions. Does it have a clean carfax? It's a big deal on this one. Yes.
E
No accidents. One driver.
D
Can I give you 24 and give you a check for the difference between 24 and 13 and be an owner and you're done and over With.
E
I think so.

Hang on just a second. Hey, Pre K, grab Michelle on five, please. We just bought her car for 2480-080072-34800, 800 radio. You know what I'm whipped about? And I know I bitch about this a lot. I just. There's got to be a lot of people that feel my pain on this house remodel deal.
B
Oh, my God, yes. Anyone who's ever done it.
D
Dude, it's. I've never heard anybody go, here's the problem. I sold my house, my old house, verbally, to a good friend a year and a half ago.
B
Okay. I can see the problem develop.
D
So the builder told me we'd be done last January wearing. And I told him, you know, we'll be. So I said he. He won't be done in January, but he'll be done in March. So just get April and then May. And so now his kids are going to school in August.
B
Right?
D
It. He's moving down from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Oh, and we got to get out of there.
B
Yeah.
A
You're not out of the old house yet.
D
No. Oh, I mean, we. We're doing both, but the new one is not done. And I told him yesterday, you know, I've threatened him every way I could. I told him I was going to cause him physical harm if he doesn't have us in there by July 4th.
E
Huh?
D
Is that a. Is that. Is that a. He took it. Well, I think he took it that I was kidding him. Right?
A
Right.
B
Yes. I think he's probably thinking you're kidding.
D
But at this point, I'm just not kidding.
A
My God. He's got to know, right? That he's. He's stepping over.
B
This is time to.
D
It's the damn subs and the scheduling of the people. The Tile guy and the carpet guy. Yeah, but, but they, they get into this deal and everybody underestimated the amount of work that they had. So they have other jobs that they have to go to. So they keep leaving half done or two thirds done and then we have to wait for them to do their next job for two weeks. And it's just, it's a disaster. It's really causing me a lot of stress.
B
Why are they allowed to leave your job in the middle?
D
Because they've committed to other jobs.
A
I mean that doesn't.
D
In the scheduling of the parts. Here's the problem.
A
Ah.
D
If, if you ever do this and I call it parts because we're used to fixing cars all the time. Sure.
A
Materials.
D
But, but, but parts are parts. Sinks are sinks, ice makers and ice maker flooring is flooring, light switches. And you better order it all and have it sitting in a locked room at the house and just have the parts ready.
B
Wouldn't.
D
You're gonna buy them anyway. Just go ahead and buy them now so we can install the damn things and not have to be waiting on either the parts of the people's schedules. You know, how can a guy that buys and sells down here, we do 500 a week. Up in PA we do 300 a week, 800 a week. How can a guy that can schedule payoffs, purchases, reconditioning. Imagine the transportation. You know, my transportation bill is every month.
A
Oh, good lord.
D
Several hundred thousand dollars dollars. We have this down to Swiss watch. Painting bumpers, replacing wiper blades, detenning windows, pulling with eight dent guys at the Dallas at our recon center in Dallas.
A
8. Yeah.
D
Don't tell me how to schedule a job. Sure, don't tell. I mean if this is bought and it's coming at you, go ahead, start ordering the parts. It needs tires, order them. But it's not here yet. Who cares? We own it. It's coming.
B
Order them, just get them done.
D
Have them ready.
B
They're not any cheaper in a month.
D
No, no. It's about speed. It's about efficiency.
A
Yeah, but contractors, John, are kind of like children. I mean they're going to test that boundary.
B
You know though, you're not going to make the customer.
A
I don't know. It's just a spiteful, unprofessional thing. Once they got you, you know, their hook is set. I wouldn't stand for it if I were you.
D
We're too far gone. I like the guys the problem. But I, I'm so, I'm so, so.
A
So ready to be you should call Fox 4 and have him do one of those investigative things.
D
If you notice, I've never said his name on the radio. And this is very much a veiled threat in case you are listening.
B
But we're going to kill a puppy.
D
Oh, that better be done by July 1st. Right. You hear me?
A
That's coming up.
D
I'm keeping you anonymous at this point, but I'll come out. I'll come out like who's the biggest coming out in a long time? Shepard Smith. My name is John Clay Wolf and I buy cars in the radio.
F
Now back to the John Clay Wolf show. Give me the vid dot com.
D
Sing it back, Bob.
A
Man, when Joan Jett went in the hall of fame. You remember a couple years ago, this.
D
Is her best song.
B
Yeah.
A
And she sang that Tommy James was on stage with her and Miley Cyrus and a couple other people and they did just really an amazing rock out version of this tune.
D
This is the best tune she has and it's a cover. But so. So what? It's wonderful. Shepherd Smith is not coming out. I had it wrong. It's Anderson Cooper. That's Murphy Brown's son. No, it's not Sybil Shepherd's son.
A
Gloria Vanderbilt's son, the fashion designer.
D
Then who the hell is Murphy Brown's son?
A
I don't know. We're fixing to find out.
D
I mean we gotta get to the bottom of this.
A
And I say this, I mean I'm.
D
A broadcast professional dam and I've got to deliver the news properly for once in my life. Maybe Greg and Garland.
E
Yeah.
D
Oh, to Excursion Limited with a buck 62 lifted. Does it need tires?
E
No, it's got good tires on it. It's a good solid truck.
D
I think it's 10,000 bucks with 162 on it.
E
I can do that.
D
Load it up. It's a diesel, right?
E
I was trying.
D
It's a D. I can't do that. And you shouldn't be trying to. To get 13 on a gas. It's a 6 grand rig, maybe 5, 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. The second he's like, oh yeah, I'll do that. I was like, hang on. Because everybody that has these want to argue about. I'm like, this guy didn't argue and something's wrong. We figured it out. Damon in Las Vegas. Good morning, you there? Las Vegas, Nevada. Welcome to Larry Keane show.
B
Hello.
D
Damon in Las Vegas. Going once, going twice. I'm gonna put you back on hold. Pre K. Let me know when he's back. I Left him on to hold too long. It's my fault. New Mexico. Allen Toyota just loaded into the website. Give me the vin.com. alex in Temple. A 10 Nissan Titan with a buck.04. Is it leather? Yes. It's lifted. It's a crew cab. Okay. On all these Nissan Titans that have been exposed to sunlight light, they fade on the roof, in the hood. Is this one been repainted or did it fade?
E
No, it just has a spot on the hood where the paint is fading.
D
Yeah, right. That's what I just said. No, it's not faded.
C
It's just.
E
This was just peeling off the hood.
D
But here's what happens. It's peeling, not fading. Much better. But what happens first before the fade hits is the clear coat fails. And then the clear coat starts this cancerous tumor, and it starts peeling back. And we call it reentry burn. Like when the space shuttle comes in from outer space and it burns it. And that's what these Nissan Titans have. So we have to spend 500 reshooting the top surfaces because Nissan, those little cute little Koreans or Japanese or whatever they are, can't seem to get the right paint on their product sometimes. And this is a bad example of it. 8,000 is what I'm thinking. What are you thinking?
E
8,000 for 2010 Nikon.
D
How much?
E
It's got 104,000 miles.
D
Just 10 grand.
E
By rollover bar. With fender. No, I owe 20.
D
All right. Oh, you were buried beyond belief.
A
Rollover bar.
D
You need to roll it over into a lake and call Allstate and tell them it's gone.
A
You're in good hands.
D
Damon is back in Vegas. Good morning, Damon.
B
Yeah.
D
So what are you doing in beautiful Las Vegas today? We have an office out there on Sahara Drive. I have not been. I need to go. I need to quit talking about going and actually. Is it hot out there?
E
Actually met yacht. Hell, yeah, it's hot.
D
How long have you lived there?
E
52 years.
D
Okay. All your life, how many times a month or a year do you go to the Strip? Never. See, and that's what I was. I figured your answer would be just never. You're just. It's just. It's like Six Flags. It's just something where weirdos go and get entertained and drunk and you don't want anything to do with it. I got it. I got it. And no, no offense, anybody from Six Flags. Are you excited about the Raiders coming into town? Because I am.
E
Absolutely. My girl's a big Raider fan, so she's ecstatic. She's like the raider queen.
D
So send us a picture of the truck and the raider queen in her raider jersey and we'll buy it from you. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up. Up 800-800-7, 2, 3. We're just go to John Lamborghini SUV, brand new. Oh, God. Okay, okay, okay. You said there was something funny on a commercial, and it is a man. No, it's not a commercial. It's a aviation gin.
A
Ryan Reynolds bought a gin company. He tried it, sampled it, and bought the company. And so he's made a couple of amusing commercials. You know, he's a very amusing guy. I don't know if you've ever seen him. What was the movie the great where he was a college Gatsby? Anyway, here's. Here's the new aviation gin commercials. Aviation 1, I think is what it's labeled.
D
I'm an aviator. All aviators drink gin.
A
Right? How far would you go for your company?
D
It's a question I ask myself every day after falling in love with aviation gin.
A
I didn't just buy an another bottle.
D
I bought the whole company.
A
When aviation recently suggested making a signature.
D
Bottle, I committed to blowing every single bottle personally. Because can you ever really go too far for your company? I just don't think it's.
A
Check this out.
D
The Ryan Reynolds signature bottle. He gets it. I'll have an aviation joke.
A
You know who that is?
D
That's funny?
A
That's Andy from the fire festival. At the end, he says he gets it.
D
Oh, when.
A
When aviation decided to make a signature bottle, I committed to blow every single one by hand. And then at the end, they show Andy from the fyre festival documentary.
D
You know, taking one for the team.
A
He gets it. I'll have an aviation gin.
B
There's another cut here. Do you want to do that as well?
A
Yeah, just Andy isolated.
D
I'll have an aviation gym. Is that on TV or just a YouTube commercial?
A
I don't know. I bet it's on TV.
D
How long is this 911 thing? Or should we wait? Let's wait with it. And. And we'll. The guys that we're gonna lose. You can go to the stream because there's a few stations we're gonna lose at 11 o' clock central. And you can go to the stream@john claywolf.com youm can also get. Sell that T shirts there. And you can get our bumper sticker and radio show logos that we send out for free.
A
He gets it.
D
He gets it. And I need to Also plug that. We buy motorcycles and RVs and motorhomes, coaches, all that kind of stuff@givemetheven.com I need to get better about saying that because when I say it, we buy a lot of them. And I don't know why I don't keep saying it, because I like them. Some of the nicest licks we've ever made are on, like, big coaches. Yeah, we had that. We had that Mercedes Benz.
B
Those are beautiful.
D
RV Sprinter thing that was converted to a bus. And we outbid all of the RV stores locally. Yeah. In Dallas, Fort Worth, we gave like 2,000 more than all the highest bid they had. And we still made some money on it. And that's what we do that for. Businesses are in business to make a profit. We normally make 300 a car, but I can say on that one, we made 3,000.
C
Wow.
D
Yeah.
A
Sometimes you get lucky.
D
Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you're Johnny Appleseed, sometimes you're booing.
A
He gets it.
D
800-800-7 2, 3, 4, house inspector with advice for you, David. Hang tight because I want to take that in the next hour that we're coming up with. And remember, if we lose you in that next hour, specifically 92.5 in Dallas and 94.5 in Houston, you can jump on the stream@john claywolf.com or in Houston, jump over to 97.5 ESPN and they take our number five. So, J.D. i can say to this point, you've done a pretty good job running the boards replacing Charlie. Besides that first hour disaster that only the guys on the east coast heard. That's true. It was. It was all. I mean, they're just east coasters. It's okay. There's none of them. There's only 250 million people up there. We don't need them. Right.
B
So sorry, I gotta apologize before the show started because I just knew. It's like, hey, jump in the middle of this.
G
I was glad we got this time together. Bye, everybody.
D
Take us out, Randy.
G
See you next week on the John Clay Wolf Show.
D
Hour number five coming up at the stream. And most of the stations just stay right hooked.
F

D
According to Politico, former Vice President Joe.
E
Biden has been less touchy with voters.
D
On the campaign trail and is doing more selfies.
F
Hit him up now. 800, 800 radio.
D
And I hope to God he knows what we mean by a selfie now.
F
John Clay Wolf.
D
Walter in Vegas? Not much. How are you? How many. How long have you been listening to us on Saturdays?
E
Oh, God, years.
D
No, we've only been on for about a year. No, it's only been about a year. I think we started about this time last year. Probably right around a year then. Okay, good.
E
Yeah, I get. I drive. I drive around all day and attract the trailer and. Yeah, I guess it's only been a year then.
D
All right.
A
Seems like a lot longer though, doesn't it?
E
Hey, you get. You guys got an office up on West Sahara in Las Vegas?
D
Yes, across from Jackpot, Joni's and Carmax.
E
Hey, do you know the address?
D
If you go to go. If you go to givemetheven.com and click Locations, it's right, right there.
E
So it's right across from Carmax.
D
Yep. And the old DJ Fab Five. Freddy, the guy that used to be on the point, Freddy. Gosh, what's his last name? All right, I know where you're at.
E
I know where you're at.
D
Hey you.
E
I didn't know you guys did motorcycles too.
D
Yep, we do. What you got? JD60. Hey, you got.
E
You got the info on the Toyota tacoma, right?
D
An 08 with a $23 on an extended cat two wheel drive. Does it have the big wheels or small wheels?
E
No, it's just got. It's. It's pretty much all stock right off, you know, from. Nothing's been changed on it.
D
Yeah, but there's two versions. There's a pre runner that sits up tall and looks pretty and there's a little truck that looks like a parts delivery truck. Which one is this?
E
I think I just bought new tires for it. I think. I think they're 16 inch rims. Does that sound right?
D
It's gonna be the smaller one. It's gonna be the little one. Do this, take a couple of pictures and send it into the website@givemethevin.com or just pull it up at our office there in Vegas on Sahara and show it to go see Freddy.
E
Yeah, that's what.
D
All right. I gotta keep trucking. 800-800-7234, David and Mesquite. You have a what? So you're a house inspector?
E
Yes, sir, I work for municipality. I am a building inspector and I can tell you're getting pretty pissed.
D
Yeah.
B
Understatement. Yeah.
D
Yes, I'm getting pretty pissed.
E
Yeah, but see if I. Who's your builder? Not the name of the person, but the name of the company.
D
I'm not gonna do it. He's A small. He's been around for 40 years. He's a good guy. He's a good guy.
A
What.
D
What happened is he's used to building normal houses, and we got into a real intricate. Added on a second floor and on a pier and beam on a pier and beam house. And he bit off a little more than he could chew. Not that he couldn't chew it, because he's done a good job. I'm very happy. And all the structural inspections have been going real smooth. Even the. The guy in the city where we are, he said. He said this guy knows exactly what he's doing. But. But he. The. The slowness is what's just killing me. Just effing killing me. Killing me. Because the longer it takes, the more expensive.
E
Yeah, yeah.
D
What do we need for a final? I got a question. What do we need for a final inspection?
E
Well, in my city, where I work, we need a drainage survey. We need a termite report. We have to. We inspect all the plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and safety issues. Okay, so that's all combined on your building final.
D
Okay, I think we're getting close to that. I think we're. I think we're very close to that. He. I went ahead and moved the kids in upstairs in their bedrooms. He's like, well, you know, we're not supposed to do that until we have a final. I'm like, that's correct. So could the inspector. Can the inspector kick it on that. On that regard.
E
If he wants to be a prick, Yeah.
D
I got you. I got you. Well, what was your advice?
E
Which city is it you're building in?
D
Westworth Village. It's right off. It's a little tiny thing inside of Fort Worth.
E
So you have Fort Worth inspectors?
D
No, we have Westworth Village inspectors.
E
Ah, okay. So they have their own inspectors. Okay, I was just gonna say if they don't meet a deadline. Do you have a deadline?
D
I gave one now, July 1st. We've blown through every deadline we've had July 1st. We just got to be done.
E
You can actually come back at him for that and get some money back from you, you know?
D
Sure. All right. Well, our deadline was July. Was July 10th. And in our contract, we actually had a penalty if he. If he went past that. But his argument.
B
Exactly.
D
His. His argument is change order orders. But you don't have six months worth changes.
E
Yeah, that's.
D
No, I hear you.
E
Sorry. It has to be stipulated on the contract, but hey, I love your show, dude.
D
Thank you, sir. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.
A
Man. Okay.
D
Rod in Andrews, Texas, with an 18 Promaster van. Rod is this thing. There's a few versions of this rig, as I'm sure you're aware.
E
And I bought it.
D
I bought them all. Yes, sir, it's a promaster half ton or three quarter or one ton.
E
No, sir, it's a half ton.
D
Okay, because there's also the chassis and there's a city cargo and a cutaway. So it's the half ton V6. And then the question.
E
No, sir, it's a four. It's a four cylinder. It's not a six.
D
Okay. Is it a city cargo?
E
Just got a yes, sir. It's. Well, it's. It's the tall one. It's the one you can stand up in.
D
Okay. The short wheelbase, I didn't know they made a four banger in that. Is it an extended cargo? See, there's a. There's a low roof and there's a high roof, but the high roof is extended cargo. Let's do this.
E
I guess it'd be the high road. High roof because you.
D
Let's do this. That's why. That's why I named the company. Give me the vin. So go to. Go to the website and give me the vin. Or just put the license plate in. It'll decode the VIN and it'll show us what we're looking at. Take a couple of pictures and I will damn sure buy it. What's your payoff on it?
E
I've got the title.
A
I don't know anything.
D
Okay, perfect. Because sometimes guys get what you know they're gonna get into a business and they buy something like this and they finance the whole thing. And then it didn't work out six months later and they're gonna sell it and they're barely. That's why I asked. So good. We will make a deal. I'll get it bought. Thanks. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio grant in Houston or Houston. 10 diesel. 200,000 miles lifted. I don't know. Is it, Is it, Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it 13,000. It's got 200 grand on it.
E
Yeah, 13.
D
I'll give more than that.
E
I still like 12 on it.
D
Yeah, I'll probably give more than that. Take some pictures and send them to me. It all depends on condition with those miles. And I see the lift on here. I need to see the pictures of it in the quality of the tires. If you'll take some photos and go to givemetheven.com and load it Up. We will. We'll try to get it bought. Just let me see what I'm talking about. It just when you get into 200,000 anything. It's just the variables are so big. I wouldn't want to do you like my builder does. Me just tell you what you want to hear. All right?
B
Because they will come back to haunt you, right?
D
Yes, always. Man calls 911 to brag about escaping the cops.
A
Oh, man. Definitely my favorite cut of the week, you know, and it's a bad idea. It could cost you weeks, months, or even years of your life to evade the police. Right? So here's a guy.
D
Give me the vin.com is the website I'm sending them to. I forgot to do that. Yeah, that's. That's our website. Sorry, Bob.
A
So here's a guy who successfully did that. And what'd he do? He went home and immediately called the police.
B
Snarky.
D
What was he driving?
A
I don't know.
E
Yeah, I want to know. So, like, I. I, like, ran from a cop like 30 minutes to an hour ago. I was the guy over there off of Kingsley State. Like, what do we pay you guys for? I mean, he turned his lights on me and got behind me. And as he was walking up to my door, I did a donut around him and left. Okay, what is your question? My question is I'm assuming he put an APB outage that has someone looking for my car, but, like, he definitely got the plate number. I passed like four cops just driving around. Like, what are you guys doing?
D
Well, we're working on mini calls.
B
So what are you guys doing? I mean, really, what do you do for a little.
D
So did they backtrack him and arrest him?
A
Yeah, they did finally catch up with.
B
Him after that snarky little.
A
Because when you call 91 1, guess what? They know your location. Yeah, it's immediate and automatic.
B
Oh, my God.
A
You know, I just ran from a cop, man. And I've seen several cops. What do you guys do? What are we paying you guys?
B
Lazy? Is it donut break time?
D
Have you ever outrun a cop, Bob? Tell the truth.
A
Never.
D
Have you ever tried?
A
Never.
D
DJ Prek. You seem like like to type.
B
Yeah, he does.
D
Have you ever tried to run from the popo? You gotta turn him on, sweetie.
C
But I do have a funny story about that, man. I was at a house party. It was my 19th birthday party, and cops came and busted to join up. And I was trying to sneak out the back door, and I guess they saw me, you know, I Heard him saying, wait, wait.
D
Hey, stop.
C
And so I, I was still snuck out the back door and I, I saw a cops swing around the side of the house with their taser out ready to get me. So I, I unzipped my pants, acting like I was just going out there to, you know, relieve myself. And I was like, hey, what, what.
D
Y' all doing, man? You know, I'm just out here trying to, trying to take a pee, you know.
C
But so I, I, I didn't get.
D
Tased, so you know, that's a win.
C
And I didn't get arrested. So at the end of the day, it was a win.
D
Was it a house party at your house?
C
Nah, it was at my boy's ease out there in good old Azel.
D
So white, black, Latino or other. Jd, is your timer correct?
B
It is.
D
Okay, let's do white, black, Latino or other. I'd like to hear what you have in store for us today, okay? For show. For show.
C
Well, let's get to it. Main night, I'm gonna read a news story for y' all and y' all just guess the race. And we know dumbass comes in every race, so let's get it. Alright, so how healthcare is set up out here in America? You know, the hospital can be a depressing place. Well, our suspect this week decided to spice up his life a little bit. Our guy was waiting around at a Detroit ER for some age, prescribe him some perkys. But Tom ticks by and he says, you know what, forget this. He sees a set of keys for an ambulance sitting around and decides to take a little trip. And where else do you go when you want, when you in pain? But the local Script Club. Cuz we all know none makes you feel better than a double dose of, of some T and A. So he heads out to the local spot called the Booby Trap. But he was a little too slow because police rolled up on him going five miles per hour down the highway. So of course he was arrested. Police say he had a history of mental health issues, but I don't see nothing wrong with trying to go from being surrounded by sick bodies to being surrounded by sick bodies. You feel me? So what y' all think, man? White, black, Latino or other Latino?
A
Stolen ambulance?
B
Got to go with stupid white guy.
A
I mean, anybody could steal an ambulance, man. What, what ethnicity ties to that?
D
What, what, what area again?
C
Detroit.
D
Oh, you know what everybody's first thought is on that?
C
Very everybody poor in Detroit, right?
D
Home of the Motown Sound and, and strip club.
A
Ste.
D
I'm Gonna stick with what I said. I don't really have any good basis for it. It just sounds like the right thing. I'm looking at Juan in Houston, so I thought Latino.
A
It sounds to me like a black male.
D
Why male?
B
Well, that's a good question.
D
Why are you so racist?
B
Sexist?
A
He said he several times.
D
Okay, all right, all right. Oh, J.D.
B
I'M gonna go with white. Just stay out of trouble.
C
What you got, man, y'.
D
All.
C
Y' all got all good guesses, but Bobo, you own it, man. 51 year old Brian Crisco, a black man charged with unlawfully driving away.
D
Why y' all gotta be hating on black men like this? Why y' all do this?
B
We're not hating.
A
I don't know if that's steroid types.
D
Hey, I admire them, but this is obvious.
A
I don't know if that's how you want to say that. John, you really ought to get Rosen and stuff.
D
Dj, have you ever thought about. Do you identify as a black male?
C
Wait, I'm not black.
D
No, you got black curly hair, but white boy curls not tight. And in your pasty ass, pale white. Somebody's been lying to me. But you're dressed like a rapper. More Vanilla Ice than Eminem.
C
All right, I'll take that. Hey, Vanilla was the flyer.
A
Millions of people who think that they just can't learn how to speak hip hop. It's not that you can't learn. It's that you've been doing it the wrong way. And that's why we've created Brozetta Stone, the hip hop language learning program.
D
Before Brosetta Stone, I didn't know my hizzy from my vajizzy. Now bitch be ballin' without sounding wack.
A
Try Brosetta stone free for 30 days. And if you're not surrounded by big booty shaking dancers while you make it rain cash money in trendy nightclubs, we'll refund your G's.
C
Hello, my name is Austin Edwards with Parky the Second. But my friends call me Pre K. I invented the Bros at A Stone software. Cause I couldn't understand y'.

A
At your boy, call now for your 30 day free trial. And no worries, cuz at Brozetta Stone, we ain't about ganking the player. They are ganking.
D

Not much. How are you?
E
I'm fine.
D
I see that our phone system does a lookup on location. Are you really Eureka Springs or is that just where. Where the registration is?
E
No, no, I just walked in. Well, that's. Hey, now I live here. I just walked out on the front porch. I'm looking at all seven shoots of beaver dam and beaver lake right now from my front porch. So, yeah, it's the real deal.
D
I have a friend that has a house up there and it's about as pretty as pretty could be in this part of the country.
E
This is a earthen home built back in 70s and kind of a old hippie style I bought about four years ago. So yeah, just living the dream out here.
D
Have you ever been to Beaver Lake, JD and have never any of those five Finger lakes. It's unbelievable.
E
Oh man, you guys ought to. It's great up here. Come on up. Anytime. I put a bonfire up on top of the roof.
D
A 14 Edge Sport. I think the Sport had a 3.7 liter. You may not know that.
E
It's got the big V6 and it's the biggest one, not the Echo.
D
58, 000 miles. Leather and roof.
E
Leather, no sunroof. Navigation.
D
What?
E
Ruby red, the hot color Everybody likes.
D
Does 15 gram put her to sleep?
E
No, I don't think that'd put it to sleep for me for that. But she's a sharp rig.
D
What does.
E
What does. I'd be around 19. 5.
D
I'm missing you so bad. I'm missing you like.
A
Like.
E
Are you missing me bad?
D
Yeah. Average MMR on it is 1480, which is like the commodities price of it, of what this car has sold for around the country in the auctions. And with 58, 000, right. You know, I can, I can get a little more than MMR because of our brand. So if I'm giving you 15, I haul it down from, from Arkansas, spend 500 jacking with it. Now I got.
E
I'm with you now.
D
I got 15. 5. And I got to get 16 grand for it to make a buck. And I don't think it'll bring more might 16. 5. I might go 15 5. But that's what I'm saying at 19, I'm missing you by a long one.
E
All right, I'll upload some pictures then. And all that good stuff just for Grinch giggles. We'll see, see what we come up with on it.
D
But I mean, and I understand we're a kid, we.
E
We'd hook up.
D
What I was saying is, is, you know, that happens with a lot of people. They just. You look at retail prices, that's what you're going to ask for out of the gate. And then if you can get a couple more opinions and I'm the high man, then you trust what I'm telling you. And that's what it takes for a lot of people. They just don't want to get ripped off. And I understand. So go shop it around a bit and. And then come back at the end.
E
No, you're my first call. This is the first time I thought about selling it. So, yeah, it's. You're upright with it. Okay, not a problem.
D
Let's work on it. Thank you. Wants to know if we'd like to advertise on hot air balloons in Vegas. Huh? Like have a give me the VIN hot air balloon, Doug.
E
Well, it doesn't have a VIN number. It's got an end number, like an aircraft that go with 40525.
D
No, I understand. In numbers. I'm a pilot. But I'm saying, are you suggesting we have like a give me the VIN hot air balloon. That's the name of the company.
E
Yes. Why don't we do that? And we can fly it either here or anywhere across the country at any kind of event. Car shows or balloon races or anything you like to think would fit in your market area.
D
So do you want to. How would the trade work? Would it be like I just buy the canopy?
E
Yeah, you pretty much buy the envelope or. We don't necessarily want to sell you an envelope. We'll sell you a program. And what that does is isolate you from liability and risk. You just buy on the ad space on it.
A
Right.
E
We put it over one of our baskets, and then we either fly it here for you, or anytime we fly it here, it'd be no charge. We just put it in our right fleet, use it to fly our passengers with.
D
Right.
E
But if you wanted it like in Albuquerque during fiesta, you know, there'd be some additional fees. If, you know, wherever you wanted to take it, there would be reasonable. But, you know, additional fees.
D
What does the. But to get the right print on the canvas, we need to create. You call it a canopy or a balloon. We'd need to make a new envelope. Envelope. So we would start with a new one.
E
Yeah.
D
What's that?
E
Well, you could. Or we could. Or we can banner one that we've got. It would be prettier and the ad copy would be larger if we custom design one and your colors and maybe put, you know, a big picture of a truck or a car or whatever you want on it, you know, Whatever fits in with your marketing scheme.
D
What does that cost?
E
An envelope is going to be about 75, 85,000, depending on how crazy you.
B
Get with artwork and how often does it fly.
E
But you're talking. Well, it probably flies three to five times a week here in Las Vegas.
D
They're really that much a balloon.
E
That's just the envelope part, you know, But. Well, no, not really.
D
Yeah.
E
If you get a whole system, it's about 85,000. Probably build just a fabric part for about 55, 60.
D
Wow.
E
But you're talking about an investment that's going to last you eight or 10 years. So you pro rate that, and you're down to, you know, five, six, 700amonth.
D
Mm. How long have you been in the balloon?
E
You're 50 years. Okay. Born and raised in Las Vegas. Yeah. Started. Started crewing in 69 with my high school sweetheart. Dad got my license in 84 and just been having a ball ever since.
D
All right, send me an email. Jwolfgowolf.com or just go to givemetheven.com and hit contact us. I've never even even considered that. But I kind of mean the fact that you're in a record. I mean, you're flying all the time with passengers. That means you're up a lot. So it's just a big billboard.
E
Yep.
D
That's not a bad idea.
A
Yeah.
E
And it's a billboard. You can. You can take anywhere and fly it anywhere. It's not like you got to dig it out of the ground and put it on a truck.
D
Yeah. Cool. Thanks for calling 800-800-7234. My name is John Claywolf, and I buy cars on the radio. Forgive me, the VIN.com. Oh, yeah. We're back.
F
Back to the john clay wolf show. Call in 800-800-trio now. John clay wolf.
D
You know, I was thinking this week.
A
Oh.
D
About the amount of money that we're handling. And normally it doesn't scare me. And I've got really good people because I went broke in, oh, five somebody. When I had a. I had an embezzlement hit me, Right. And when I was out, I got paralyzed. And I was out for a long time. And this lady from Wichita Falls, Texas, stole a lot of money from me for her boyfriend. She had a. My controller had a lover, Chase. They're both married.
B
Yeah.
D
And she was stealing my money to save him. She's.
A
Yeah.
D
Yeah.
B
He got caught and.
D
And we.
C
We.
D
But, I mean, our revenue in last month was $40 million.
B
Jesus.
A
Okay, so that sounds like a big old pile of money, but it ain't.
D
It's, it's moving so much. We made, made good money. I'm not trying to pour mouth.
B
Right.
D
But not enough to be handling $40 million. I mean, it's just, you just like the percentages are so low on the, on what you actually get to keep after paying everything.
B
Sure, of course.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
Buyers get paid. When people, the movement get paid. Everybody, everybody touches everybody.
D
You know, every vendor that's one of our vendors is, is like, like a couple hundred thousand a month. Not every vendor. But the main, but the main ones enough. Yeah.
A
You know, it's so coincidental. I read a story this week. Do you know the percentage of, of embezzlers, corporate embezzlers are women. It's like 88%.
D
Really?
A
Yes.
B
I would not think. Yes.
A
Secretarial positions, like you were saying a couple weeks ago, they sit there and look at that money every day, try.
D
To figure out a way to snag it.
A
Yeah.
D
That's really not what worrying me. I, I don't have, I really feel solid with our setup. We've got four people in a county. They would all, they would all have to conspire.
B
Yeah.
D
Multiple levels to do it right. And we've got some great seasoned people with good resumes and we have some old school people that I trust that have been here a long time. We've had two new ones that are absolute pros, and then we have two old ones that are pros on the grassroots level that I trust.
A
Sure, you bet.
D
It's not that. It's just, it's just how easy would be to make a mistake? I mean, how many cars have we paid for twice on accident? Do you think it's never happened? Do you think it's never happened? Out of thousands and thousands and thousands, how many times we paid somebody's equity twice. It's got to happen.
A
Yeah.
D
I almost wish they'd show me one that did happen.
B
I just know the process and I can't see how it could have happened because there's.
D
So you don't know the process on the backside on the check cutting side?
B
No, I don't.
D
And we've got a great system. I mean, I'm, I, I, I, I'm not accusing anyone, but when it does happen, like, you know, for average, average cost car, 17 five.
B
Sure.
D
If you do it twice on accident, that's 17, five.
B
Yeah.
D
I mean, how many cars does it take at 300 a lick to make back 17 5? Yeah, I'd have to do the math on it. It's just, it's, it's a little. I just kind of had a reflective moment this week, like how much this thing's grown and what, what's 40 times 10? That's 400 million.
B
Yes.
D
So 12. That's half a billion dollars.
E
Stop.
B
You need to quit this.
D
No, I'm not going to quit. I'm going to take it all the way. And I.
B
Okay.
D
I think the. As this thing branches out and goes nationwide, I mean, we're talking about, you know, I don't know. So at five times half a billion, five to two. If we're five times larger, be two and a half billion dollars worth of revenue a year. But what I have noticed is we're not making any more money than we were on a third less of the volume.
B
How can that be?
D
Like this time last year. Yeah, we were more. We had more profit than we had this year.
B
That didn't make any sense. I mean, you're doing.
D
Because when we go into these new markets to grow, blow. We blow chunks. We puke all over ourselves.
B
Yep. It takes a while.
D
It really flood the market because you're really farming. You're taking on a new farm.
B
Exactly. That's a great example. You're throwing seeds and you're opening new products.
D
Fertilizer, rain, all the stuff, Hands, tractors, equipment.
B
Nothing comes back overnight.
D
No, not, not even. I mean, it takes, it takes a full year. You have to bleed out.
B
Right. And not like you're opening a cookie shack and they're starting to buy your cookies tomorrow.
D
I don't believe in debt because that's what got me before. So we do it, you know, out of, out of organically. And it's just weird. I hope I'm right. I hope I'm doing the right thing. But it, but it's really disheartening to see your volume go up that much and you're 200 grand behind where you were this time last year.
B
Yeah.
D
You know.
B
Yes, I, Yeah, I can.
A
I don't mind that my have. My mind pales. I can't imagine.
D
Well, mine kind of does too. It's, it's, it's wild. But. But also when there's a hiccup, you know, like that, that government shutdown we had in the winter, that was real.
A
Sure.
D
That screwed stuff up.
B
Stopped a lot.
D
That cost us a lot of money. It was stopped.
A
It was a big slowdown this time.
D
Scared the hell out of everybody. And they stopped. The ants stopped moving. Yeah, but. Yeah, I don't know. It's just people don't realize how big this business is on the backside. Nobody. Nobody does. Even people that are kind of. That I'm close to, I don't talk about this much. And. And when you show them, you walk them through everything they see downstairs, and they go out and see the operation in the. In the transports and all the accounting people like, what the hell?
B
I'm like, yeah, how many bodies are.
D
Moving and how many people it takes to handle all this?
B
And it wasn't that long ago. I remember on Saturdays after the show, it would be Bobo and Turley occasionally, me moving cars. I mean, that was it, right?
D
That was it. It was me running around hustling dealership to dealership. I was going around with my belabooshka from pool hall to pool hall, and I had a cleanup crew behind me, and there was about five and. And we were buying cars and moving them, skinning them, paying for them and remarketing them. And that went on for a time. Long, long time.
A
8 a week, 12 a week, 15 a week, 25 a week.
D
You know, that's 100 a day. Yeah.
A
God, the infrastructure and, and still growing. Just. Just on the radio end, but. And this, you know, the show may not be the main thing, but every time we're into a different market, the infrastructure is going to be immense.
D
Right.
A
By the end of this year, it scares me.
D
California is without a doubt where my eyeball is.
A
Yes.
D
But then you get into the. The labor portion of California law and all that in Nevada. Sure seems like the place to have.
A
All the staff staging, doesn't it, though?
D
Yes. Even though it cost you 300 a car to get them in from LA over to Vegas, and then you could remarket them in Vegas, and we would have the same thing in Vegas that we have in Dallas, that the hub for the West Coast. All the simulcast buyers, all the. Because remember, people, what do you do with all the cars? Well, we auction, sell them.
B
Sure.
D
That's what we do. We sell one every 45 seconds. Actually two every 45 seconds because we're running two lanes on the East Coast. All those cars on the east coast are not mine. I have cars in my very good friend's system over there, you know, but he. He sells as many as we do, and we have just a small percentage of them because we're just growing in the East Coast. But to build the. The largest home we're going to have is going to be the West Coast. There is no question about it. And I could tell you how I know that, but I know it for sure. And it'll be bigger than this.
B
Bigger than this?
A
Damn right.
B
Really?
D
Yes. No question. You know why?
B
Why?
D
Trade and tax credit. There is none.
B
Oh, I didn't know that.
D
No.
G
Really?
D
Really.
B
Oh, that's huge.
D
That's huge. Right? Game changers. Yeah. So? So we're not jacking with a trade in tax credit. I mean, so. So when we're bidding on cars, we're bidding apples to apples.
B
So in California, you don't get that.
A
Oh, wow.
D
Right. So how do we deploy and attack California? I mean, what's, what would. So we gotta. We gotta start out with half a million a month in advertising. So 125,000 a week. Holy.
B
I know. You just say that like it's a number.
D
No, I mean it. I'm looking at you with an evil eye.
B
I know. You get the eye.
D
So you throw that out there. You throw all that fertilizer out there on that farm and doesn't rain.
A
Wait, what if it doesn't rain? What if it doesn't rain?
B
Right?
D
You got crop insurance? Nope.
B
No.
D
So you work all year for nothing because you made a wrong call. You know, we went out to San Diego and we launched a year ago and I pulled back because we were on a hard rock station and it.
B
Could be on the wrong station.
D
Yeah. And the, the tattoo stations. If it's got corn on the playlist, it ain't going to work. Right.
B
It's not going to work.
D
Bakersfield, we're still on a Bakersfield. And it is country. It's not that same mentality. We're on a great classic rock stick in in Bakersfield, California. But it's a smaller market, so it doesn't. But we get into LA and San Fran. I mean, we're talking. What is it? So 15 million. New York City, DMA, LA's 10. San Fran, 8, 7. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's. It's smaller. It's five. So we're talking about 15 in the San Diego, roughly that. That region with Vegas, we're talking 20 mil on population. And yeah, it's going to take a half a million dollars worth of fertilizer a month to feed it. And that won't even get it done.
B
And that's without Temecula.
D
It's not even fresh. No, not.
A
So.
D
You know, we have these extra buy rooms that are sitting empty. We just moved into one of them.
B
Yeah.
D
And then we have the next one. But when they fill up. Then we have to go to level two. And then I've got to invest another in build out for a place that'll hold 500 people.
B
Was this the original idea in your head when you were thinking about this, how far this could go? Or is this kind of getting.
D
No, here's what I did.
B
Yeah.
D
I thought I was going to franchise it out and, and create pods where other people in different markets used our. Our facility, our mechanism. But the problem is, is they won't do it the way I do it correctly. And then your reviews, I didn't realize the reviews online would be so sensitive. So everybody, that's what they trust. And when, when, when we get into. If I give the ability for someone else to script my reviews, if my word being good is. Is. Is based on this. Them, it's too much risk because there's too much money. And these used car dealers, so many times they just won't do what they say they're going to do. They just can't do it.
A
Right.
D
Their DNA won't allow them to do it.
A
They can't.
D
They can't.
B
It's not the way they were trained.
D
They can't.
A
Right.
D
Right. So we're going to have to do it ourselves. So I've got to own all the cars myself. I got to hire all the people myself. I mean, we'll have. You know the. What the business model I've got figured out is 700 employees.
A
God Almighty.
D
Right now we've got 100.
B
My Lord. Yeah.
D
So what's my life going to be like?
B
You can have to people you trust.
D
Well, you do. And we have them now.
B
I know, but you've got to have more of those.
D
Yeah.
B
You can't do it yourself.
D
I know. I'm not doing it myself now.
B
No.
D
I'm not doing it myself now.
A
I don't.
D
I know how many cars y' all bought downstairs yesterday, but I don't know what they are. I didn't buy any of them. Y' all do it all.
B
That's.
D
That's true. So it's pretty exciting to watch it. It grow, but it's a little. It's like watching your teenager throwing her the keys to the car and she turned 16. Like, don't die. See ya. Be back in a minute. My name is John Clay Wolf and I buy cars to radio. Forgivemetheven.com.
F
And now back. Back.
D
Yeah. Yeah.
F
To the john clay wolf.
D
Is this tattoo you? Yeah.
A
Yes.
D
I bought this album in fourth grade.
A
Yeah.
D
Loved it.
A
One of my favorites.
D
Man.
A
Some girls tattoo you stones to me.
D
Was that 80, 80, 80, 80, 82, something like that.
A
Was one of the first MTV style videos they ever did.
D
Start me up was the hit on that lick.
A
Yes.
D
Rick and Bat Rose. Morning. Doing good on this truck. Hey, on this truck, is it extended cab or crew cab?
E
Extended cab.
D
So we got an 11 diesel, FX4 gas, 16. Okay. FX4 with 140 on it. Four wheel drive, average. Rough or clean?
E
Clean cloth, couple little whiskey dance, but nothing.
D
Right.
E
Cloth, vinyl, rubber floor mat, power windows, power everything.
D
So it's an XL.
E
No roof? Yes.
D
Okay, with the FX4 sticker, is it a long bed or short?
E
Long.
D
Is the grill gray or black?
E
Black.
D
Is an XL. 650-777-7500.
E
Real short. But I'll send you the VIN and get some pictures.
D
Yeah, let's do it. I've bought several of these. It depends on what she looks like. You've taken a. Sounds like you've taken an XL truck and made it look like a street truck. Which is great, you know, if it. But I actually.
E
I didn't do anything.
D
Okay. Did you buy it new or used? You know, so they did it. I mean, like the FX4 sticker. I don't know the FX4 sticker. They don't offer an FX4 package on an XL. Okay, but that's fine. Who cares? I mean, it's just a truck. Let's look at it like you said. We'll go from there. Thanks, man. Juan in Houston, a hundred thousand mile Focus se is worth 2000 bucks. 2500. 2 to 25? Yeah, 2 to 2500. Just go to. Give me the vin.com. load it up. 800, 800 radio. 800-800-7234. Jimmy Kimmel was talking about the NBA Finals. You know, It's Toronto Raptors vs. The Golden State Warriors. Sure. And he was talking about the trash talking on Canadians. I have not heard this, but I have heard it's funny and I'm excited to hear it.
A
What?
D
Is there anything else?
A
Quite a lot of trash talk coming out of California. California Golden State Warriors. But he actually did a man on the street thing where he sent a guy to the streets of Toronto to see what kind of trash talk the Canadians had. And you'd be surprised by what he got.
D
We're talking to Canadians and asking them.
A
To trash talk the Warriors. You ready? Trash talk.
D
No, you don't do that here. Trash talk. I would not do that against anybody. Canadians don't do that.
A
Let me hear you trash talk the Warriors a little bit?
D
Trash talk?
A
No, no, no, no, no, no. We are polite.
D
We are Canadians. I mean, they're a great team. I don't think I can trash talk them. I think they're in the finals for a reason.
A
Why would I trash talk them? They haven't done nothing wrong to me or my team.
D
All I'm saying is everybody's playing, right? So if they want to win, they better play better than us. That's all I can say.
A
That's as harsh as it gets. They're just too damn nice.
D
Do that in Louisiana and see what.
E
You come up with, buddy.
B
Really?
D
Or better that Philadelphia. I mean, I. I listen to my Philly friends talk to their children.
B
Yeah.
D
And it makes. It makes me cringe. Yeah, it makes me cringe. Yes. Yes. That is a hard, hard, hard place, Billy. Yes, of course. I don't know how it got so hard, but, I mean, the way they cuss in front of their kids. Heavy. And it's like, holy smokes. I mean, my kids hear me do it, like, on accident, and it bothers me when that happens.
B
Yeah.
D
And when I'm on speakerphone with my Philly friends, I have to take them off speakerphone. There's just no way around. There's no way around it. Oh, my God.
E
I've heard.
A
I've heard Bob's little teleconference quite a few times.
D
F bomb Central.
A
Yeah.
D
Explicit.
B
Can't finish an entire sentence without one.
D
He talks worse than a. Than an east coast rapper, worse than I do.
A
And I'm pretty raw.
D
Right.
A
You know, at times, you know, they.
D
Say people that use profanity are more intelligent, so I'm definitely scoring up there. That's great.
A
Glad we set that straight. Keep on going, man. I'll tell you what. The. It's amazing to me that the Raptors are playing so well in this deal. I hope they do well in the series. Does anybody know what's going on with Stanley Cup? Is that still on?
D
The Blues won it last night.
A
Did they really? Good deal. John Ham's happy. Don Draper is a big St. Louis Blues fan.
D
The average ticket for the final game was five GS or 4,600. And it was the second highest average ticket of a championship of all time. The Super bowl was 4,000. However, let's look at the capacity of the venue. I mean, 100,000 people versus what, what, 15? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's gonna be. They. They. I think the top five tallest tickets were baseball, World Series, finals.
A
Yeah. No Doubt.
D
And what do they hold? 20, 25. I don't know. What, what, what does the ballpark in Arlington hold?
A
20 probably.
D
Yeah. And these monster football stadiums hold 80. Yeah. Legit.
A
Yeah.
D
I've never been to a Super Bowl. I really don't care to.
A
It's a good business to be in.
B
Just the, the hassle of it all.
D
Yeah. Just. It's just I'd rather go to a great college game. You haven't watched football until you've gone and watched an LSU game. Energy is different in Death Valley on a Friday night. I mean Saturday night. Just hadn't seen. I mean against someone like Bama or Georgia or one of the big, you know, a legit team at the time.
A
Yeah.
D
And I've never been to Obama game. I couldn't imagine what it's like but. But something about the SEC and the, the vibe. It's like rodeo in Fort Worth.
B
Just the energy level is so high.
D
Yeah, it's just so high. It's so high.
A
This eight or ten year surge in the SEC is kind of what has made me a bit of an Aggies fan again.
D
Oh, use. Pretty high too.
A
Pretty high too.
D
Oh, he's pretty high. Don't knock them out. Right. An OU game. It's right there.
A
The most rabid college fans that I know personally.
D
Are you.
A
Yeah.
D
Yeah, they're pretty damn good.
A
Boomer.
D
It's the best thing that ever happened to say Oklahoma.
A
Yeah, they're serious about it. It's good to see serious sports. 60 some odd days till NFL preseason starts again. Thank God.

And look, look at how the Oklahoma Thunder, how they were embraced by the community. It's these places that don't have pro sports. That's really what the big tick is. Not that, not that New Orleans doesn't have pro sports because obviously they do. Sure. But you know the Alabamas, the. Just the southern states, they don't have a ton of pro sports. Yeah. Because they're loosely. They're not heavily populated. I mean Oklahoma doesn't have pro baseball team. They don't have a pro football team. What else are you going to get into? Oh, you. Football. And then here comes the, the Thunder. And they have Kevin Durant and Harden.
A
Well, very well recruited. Yeah, they're. They're worth watching every time.
D
I'd rather drive to Oklahoma to watch it. An old Thunders game than watch a current Mavericks game. That's for sure.
A
Yeah, you got to rebuild sometime, man. Yeah, that's just the way.
D
How's the Heat doing since they broke up Miami heat.
A
Bit of a flounder.
D
Just a normal team now.
A
Yeah.
D
That the. That the stars have left. It's like Norman says, and that's what we always talk about. These Lamborghinis and Ferraris in this auction that we put on every week.

This edition of the John Clay Wolfe Show offers listeners the familiar freewheeling Saturday morning ride – high-energy car talk and live on-air bids, dealership war stories, sports riffing, sex and relationship asides, rock and roll nostalgia, and just enough FCC edge to keep things spicy without crossing the line. Wolfe's team (and, today, some nervous fill-ins for missing regulars) juggle a mix of technical snafus, hilarious real-world calls, auction hustle updates, pop culture ephemera, and unfiltered opinions about current events, music, and the rapid growth of their automotive empire.
“Back in 2010, we were picking up eight cars a week... Last month, we moved a little over 2,000 in a month.” – Bobbo, 04:51
“Hunter Thompson invented Gonzo journalism... The story wasn't just about the Super Bowl, it was about his trip and the things he pulled off while he was there.” – Bobbo, 19:36
Caller: Julie with 2017 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe
"You didn't get drunk and wreck it. Your girlfriend hasn't keyed the side of it? ...OK, what'd you say it takes to buy it?" – Wolfe, 28:08
Deal struck at $42,000 – "Say Wolf bought my car at 42 grand. Here's the pictures, load it up. We'll be there Monday – or today!" (29:52)
Caller: Frank, selling ex-wife's Porsche 911 Cabrio
“We have the car, and I don’t want this car. It reminds me of her.” – Frank, 42:15
On the Value of Imperfect Cars:
"If anybody gets something from this: look for dirty Carfax cars that have accident history and buy them 10% less and beat the system." – Wolfe, 65:36
“I just sold my car to y’all yesterday, and y’all did a great job. Gave me a fair offer and really quick, like took 15 minutes to get it done.” – Dewey, 90:57
On Auction Energy:
"It is a show of energy unto itself...It takes about two and a half to three hours, and you watch every kind of big profile vehicle roll by... Our goal back then was 100 a month. Last month? Over 2,000." — Bobbo (04:03)
On Video Podcasting & Technology:
"When we get a broadcast, a video broadcast, this thing... Well, if we're gonna start doing TV, I gotta lose weight." — J.D., riffing on modern video tools (02:15)
On International Sales:
"Somewhere along the line, we lost Stoner Dave. And we've never met anyone with that kind of knowledge..." — Bobbo, nostalgic about lost staff and changing tech (02:41)
On Customer Service & Transparency:
"When you get into stuff like [a high-mileage CRV], the Carfax doesn’t matter. Fully depreciated, it just doesn’t matter – if it runs and the AC blows cold, that’s what counts." — Wolfe, 101:25

Even for those who have never listened, this episode delivers a behind-the-scenes view of running a growing national company, surviving (and thriving) amidst live radio chaos, and inviting listeners into the highs and lows of car culture, entrepreneurial hustle, and enduring American pastimes. Car culture may be the hook, but John Clay Wolfe’s community (from Pre K’s comedic storytelling to Bobbo’s rock wisdom) is the engine that keeps the show moving — fast, funny, and always riding the edge.
“We bought 2300 last month. I say that to brag... but also because I’m proud and I want you to know we know what the hell we’re doing.” – John Clay Wolfe (15:38)
