John Clay Wolf
Broadcasting live from the Wolf Radio studios. It's time for the John Clay Wolf show.
This is great. You're a trap. Oh, that was a good one.
Hit him up now. 800. 800 radio.
Would you like to wrap your spikes.
Around my head now, John Clay Wolf.
The big balls.
J.D. Ryan
Big balls in cow town.
John Clay Wolf
It's not cow town. Big balls on the hill. True. Speaking of. Rush Limbaugh. Wake up, you old fat f. Oh.
DJ Pre K
You want to be dial up already?
J.D. Ryan
My goodness. Yeah. So early 7 o'. Clock.
John Clay Wolf
It's the fat bastard. It's the political fat bastard.
Bobbo
I'm a fat elf. No, like a Christmas elf. What does that mean? John?
John Clay Wolf
Yes?
Bobbo
Have you, have you been on the boat? Are you still in the boat?
John Clay Wolf
I, I, I, I'm not. I'm back off the boat. Rush and I.
J.D. Ryan
Were you guys hanging around together? Cuz you were in Florida. John, we were you guys.
John Clay Wolf
Rush, we have five hours of radio today. I don't want to blow it all up front.
Bobbo
Understand?
J.D. Ryan
I want to hear the.
Bobbo
What the hell do you want me to do about it?
John Clay Wolf
I smoked a fatty with Rush Limbo. Did you really?
Bobbo
On the boat. The inevitable. Fatty smoked on the boat with John Clay Wolf. My friend Jimmy Buffett came along. I, I think I left my, my Speedo.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, man.
Bobbo
On the boat.
J.D. Ryan
Thanks for that.
Bobbo
Damn it, man. The, the Adidas Speedo.
John Clay Wolf
I know. I know exactly what.
Bobbo
Red and gold. We got a lot. We got a lot of tail. We got a lot of tail on Boca Chica Key with that Speedo.
J.D. Ryan
Boca Chica Key?
Bobbo
Really? Something to see. John. Look.
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Bobbo
You know the Speedo had kind of a built in. It's not a fanny pack. What do they call it when the fanny pack's in front of a jock strap? Do you care to speculate? Probably a sling. We'll just call it luggage.
J.D. Ryan
Luggage is good.
Bobbo
I think I left my Percocets in the Speedo and the Speedo in the boat. Where's your, where's your friend dock the boat?
John Clay Wolf
Well, it's, it's sitting down at Kiwesto. I mean Boca Chica was one up.
Bobbo
By God. I may have to run down there.
John Clay Wolf
We got, we left key wet. We left Stock Island Marina and went over to the airport and got on your plane.
Bobbo
You don't remember? I, I recall somewhat.
John Clay Wolf
We flew a Gulf Stream from Key west to West Paul.
J.D. Ryan
Oh my God.
John Clay Wolf
It took like 78 seconds.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, I was gonna say gear up.
Bobbo
Gear down. That was a lot of fun. I can't believe they let me Fly the thing.
J.D. Ryan
They let you in the.
Bobbo
That was a great time. Listening to Beatles, flying a plane. It was no time at all. It literally really was like 90 seconds. I didn't think they would make me land the thing. I'm glad that came out okay.
John Clay Wolf
You know, Rush, one thing we did not cover this weekend at all or last weekend. Where are we now? Last weekend. My God, I'm still an island.
J.D. Ryan
I know you are.
John Clay Wolf
Is politics. And I don't. I didn't want to talk politics. You didn't want to talk politics, so we didn't do it. But right now we should give us your week weekend wrap, so to speak.
Bobbo
Would you like to talk? I'll let you in on a little secret. We have these holidays, like the Fourth of July, Independence Day here in the US of A, and we lose track for like a week at a time. I'm not sure what's going on out there.
J.D. Ryan
You don't even know.
Bobbo
Well, I'm on island time as well now. Look, living in West Palm, you don't really fully immerse yourself in that. Margaritaville, Boca Chica Key, key West lifestyle 24 7. Well, you can't.
J.D. Ryan
You can't.
Bobbo
I don't know how Jimmy does it. He just sits, you know, it's built in.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah. He's got a lot of people to help him.
John Clay Wolf
He's acclimated to keep up with current events either, right?
Bobbo
True, true. And neither am I. Not not a journalist. I am an editorialist, thanks very much. If I had a great voice like that Paul Harvey, I'd just do that.
John Clay Wolf
Well, Rush, why don't you wake up, make yourself a screwdriver, stretch out, knock one off with your old lady, read the paper, come back here in an.
Bobbo
Hour, knock one off with the old lady.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bobbo
Is that what they call it where you come from?
John Clay Wolf
Read the paper, maybe listen to a little podcast of yourself, Find my glasses and. And come back in an hour or two and. And let's. Let's talk about. Let's talk smart, Rush, not Stone Drive.
Bobbo
Certainly I can come up with something. Okay. There are still politics going on in this country.
John Clay Wolf
What did you think of Donald J. Trump's dictator march on the 4th of July?
Bobbo
I thought it was outstanding.
John Clay Wolf
I did, too.
Bobbo
I like seeing those weapons in the streets.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I mean, unfortunately, they really didn't have the weapons in the streets. I wanted to see the missiles coming down the streets on wheels, like we do in China and Russia.
Bobbo
I think we should do it more often.
J.D. Ryan
Goose step going on.
Bobbo
Look at these Stretches. Do you remember rolling. Rolling up the coast and seeing all those stretches between Key Largo and, like, Sugarloaf Key?
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Bobbo
Just. Just empty. Just empty beaches.
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Bobbo
Let's blow a couple up. What the hell?
J.D. Ryan
Not a good idea.
Bobbo
No, no, just a couple. No, not the whole damn sea line.
J.D. Ryan
Not even one.
Bobbo
I saw a lot of great firecrackers.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, we should have done that.
Bobbo
We should have. We should have packed munitions.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I did watch the address. What was it called? Salute to America. I thought it was pretty good. Even though he lost his teleprompter.
J.D. Ryan
Did he?
Bobbo
Yeah, I didn't even see it.
John Clay Wolf
He had an Obama ish moment. A bad one. Ooh. Started talking about the. In the 1880s.
Bobbo
Oh, no. Airport.
John Clay Wolf
When the people were heading to the airports.
Bobbo
1780S, I heard about 1780s.
John Clay Wolf
Good point.
Bobbo
Rush, Continental army stormed the airports on the beltway.
John Clay Wolf
On the beltway.
J.D. Ryan
I know. His people freaked out. Prompter. Prompter.
Caller/Guest
Prompter.
Bobbo
And you think I'm stoned. That's crazy. It's just a gaffe. And they come out. Now you've got me started.
Satan
Here we go.
Bobbo
And they come out saying, what a fool. What a fool. There are no airports back then. Well, how do you know? Ladies and gentlemen, there is such a thing as a flux capacitor. Oh, my God. And by those means, if you can still find a damn DeLorean. Yeah, you could look, I mean, metaphysics aside, right? Just from the dimensional standpoint, it's possible. So what you're saying, I mean, you may not be at an airport in the 1780s, but you might see one?
J.D. Ryan
I don't believe so. Surely.
John Clay Wolf
I don't think so.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah. Really?
Bobbo
Life after Pan Am?
J.D. Ryan
No, I think pretty much the Wright brothers kind of started this whole thing in 1903.
Bobbo
Speculations persist. Yeah, and we'll get it for you here.
John Clay Wolf
I guess we're not going to get.
Bobbo
Rid of Rush on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
John Clay Wolf
This is not the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. This is the John Clay Wolf Show Network.
Bobbo
El Rushbow talent on loan from Fiat.
John Clay Wolf
So since we can't get rid of Rush Turley, I guess we can get on to other things. And he can. He'll just be part of the show for a little while until he cracks out. Fastest knockout in US History.
DJ Pre K
Oh, yeah, this happened over.
John Clay Wolf
I don't know.
DJ Pre K
Was it before the 4th of July weekend?
John Clay Wolf
Was it?
DJ Pre K
Yeah. UFC. Listen, how fast this guy gets knocked out with a flying knee.
J.D. Ryan
And these guys just flapping gums at each other. Any chance they get the fight clock.
John Clay Wolf
Is brought to you by Mo.
DJ Pre K
Out.
J.D. Ryan
When did it start?
DJ Pre K
Just as he says, the fight clock.
Bobbo
Seconds into the fight.
John Clay Wolf
Five seconds ever.
DJ Pre K
Yeah, Guy just basically ran at him and with a flying knee caught him right in the perfect spot. Knocked him out.
John Clay Wolf
That was God.
Bobbo
Jorge Masdival knocked out Ben Askron. And Ben Askren, by the way, had come into that fight.
John Clay Wolf
Good morning, Bobo.
Bobbo
Undefeated.
J.D. Ryan
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
I'm glad you made it.
Bobbo
Really.
John Clay Wolf

J.D. Ryan
Knock it out.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, talk about the flying knee to the nutsack.
J.D. Ryan
Perfect.
John Clay Wolf
JD Kid. JD Just knocked me into the. Into the cards with a flying knee.
J.D. Ryan
No, we set up the bit, but.
John Clay Wolf
But I was. So where was I? Oh, average, rough or clean year, make, model miles. Average. Rough or clean, year, make, model, miles, average. Rough or clean. Oh, the flying knee got right to the head.
J.D. Ryan
Sorry. Five seconds.
John Clay Wolf
You're stupid. Here we go. Did you, like, have an argument with the. With sounders early.
J.D. Ryan
Conversation?
Bobbo
Absolutely, absolutely.
John Clay Wolf
Again, can you do anything? I mean, do you have enough strung together to even give us an example?
DJ Pre K
Not really. I mean, just I can fill in.
John Clay Wolf
Like a children's book putting, like, phrases together.
Bobbo
Yeah, you absolutely could. It would take a little deliberation, a little planning.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I'm gay. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. We sold 408 up in Pennsylvania yesterday at the auction, the company. And then we. We sold 393 in Dallas. Your bid. You can get a bit on your cart. Give me the VIN. Give me the VIN. Give me THE VIN. Give me the VI n.com. and if you just plug in your license plate or your VIN number, the computer system will do the work. And yes, we were doing this crap before the other guys were online. I've been seeing the competitors roll up. We invented this stuff. You go to. Now you didn't. Fastest UF knockout in UFC history. Mixed doubles contender keeps hitting her partner on a serve.
Bobbo
It's one of my favorite sound bites of the week.
John Clay Wolf
Really?
Bobbo
Yeah. And this is absolutely true. Turtle, do you have the. I've got the. I've got the sports story on this deal. There's A, you know Wimbledon's going on, right?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bobbo
And there's a mixed doubles group that are really good. Alina Asta Kopinico of lvia is playing mixed doubles at Wimbledon with Robert Linstead of Sweden. And she's now hit him in the head with a serve twice this week. It's just a very satisfying sound bite.
DJ Pre K
We'll have to play it coming up next cuz we're up against it here.
John Clay Wolf
We're up against what?
J.D. Ryan
The break?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. How long is it?
DJ Pre K
It's long enough that we can't play it right now.
Bobbo
Four seconds or.
John Clay Wolf

Caller/Guest

There's no bully.
John Clay Wolf
Senor Juan Clay Wolf.
We get up early and we work all day. We put our time in. Cause we like to stay all Night long. Charlie, did you go to that Corn concert or is that tonight?
DJ Pre K
No, no, no, no. That's the 21st or second, something like that.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, will you turn me on, cuz Don Cornelius wanted to talk to us.
DJ Pre K
Is Don there? Okay, hold on.
Bobbo
Hello, John, bring it up. This is Don Cornel and I endorse Rosetta Stone. I've never made most sense to white folks in my life since Austin Pocky brought me his fine invention.
John Clay Wolf
Don Cornelius. JD Was the host of the Soul Train.
J.D. Ryan
Soul Train. I used to watch that show. Love that show.
Bobbo
It's a little ditty we call Rosetta Stone.
John Clay Wolf
Do you want to tell me, Don, how was Soul Train?
Bobbo
How was it? Yeah, I mean, marvelous. I had a marvelous time. Met lots of marvelous people.
Caller/Guest
Did you have some.
Bobbo
I got it on Patty LaBelle.
John Clay Wolf
I just said, did you make love with a bunch of marvelous women?
Bobbo
Well, we don't call it love on Soul Train. Yeah, we call it the groove. And I made the groove many times.
John Clay Wolf
Would you take love? Would you take the groove in exchange for TV time? Like a Harvey Weinstein no type of deal?
Bobbo
No, the groove is on its own time. It's kind of a ballad time signature.
John Clay Wolf
That's not what Mariah Carey wrote in her new autobiography.
Bobbo
Mariah does tell a nice story or two. You know, you can take the girl out of the ghetto, in the words of the legendary Isaac Hayes, but you never get the ghetto out the girl.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of ghetto, dj, how you homeboy?
DJ Pre K
Oh, man, you know, I just been pimping and parlaying as usual, you know, trying to do my thing, baby.
John Clay Wolf
What are we gonna do with this 91 El Dorado or 88 or whatever it is, man?
DJ Pre K
A shout out to the listeners because they really came through and called in and. And gave me a whole list of people that could work on this thing. So I. I've been making some calls and I just got a. I got one out there. And, you know, Weatherford. Just gotta find some time to get.
John Clay Wolf
It up there, dude. I mean, you sound like a brother going into the unemployment office. Do I really? Yeah. I mean, for a year, talking about how you were, man, keep working towards getting a job. You're so close. So close.
DJ Pre K
We really are so close, man.
John Clay Wolf
I don't want to let the people.
DJ Pre K
Down, but, man, it's hard, man.
J.D. Ryan
All the elements are coming.
DJ Pre K
I was going to do it this last Wednesday, but it was just so damn hot.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, but last. Last January, what was it last December? Was it so damn cold?
DJ Pre K
Yeah, man, it was freezing last January.
John Clay Wolf
Man, I couldn't even get out last spring. Was it the pollen that was slowing you down?
DJ Pre K
I mean, my sinuses were acting up.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, you a brother with a story. It comes in all color, don't it?
DJ Pre K
Hey, we gonna be rolling, though?
John Clay Wolf
When?
DJ Pre K
Give me. Give me about a week or two.
John Clay Wolf
So what we're talking. What we're talking about, everybody is. DJ Prek bought a pimp sled. A 91. Was it a 91? Yeah, 91.
DJ Pre K
It was a 1990, even 90.
John Clay Wolf
Eldo a little shorty with a. And we raised money from the listeners on a GoFundMe to pimp DJ Prek's ride. When was this, JD?
J.D. Ryan
Oh, my God.
Bobbo
A year ago.
J.D. Ryan
Well, over here. Was it over yet?
DJ Pre K
What's the interest on that?
J.D. Ryan
Well, actually, they cost $10 a month to maintain the account, so you've got about nine bucks left.
John Clay Wolf
So we got 1500, 1700 bucks from our listeners. Even 20s, 50s. Billy Cook threw a couple of Huns keys at a DJ Pre K and. And DJ Pre K, in true white black fashion, has had many excuses and just a little too lazy to get out there and spend the money that they gave him. The grant. He got a grant grant? A listener grant. Like a pell grant to pimp his Cadillac. And he's too preoccupied and too fly to get it done after a year. It's amazing.
J.D. Ryan
He's preparing.
John Clay Wolf
It's gonna be hard to give all this money back, won't it?
J.D. Ryan
Oh, yeah, it really is. Because it's in my regular account now. I consider my money, actually.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, hell, that's fair enough. So JD's been. Been chaperoning the cash, the 1500 for DJ Prek.
J.D. Ryan
I'm sitting on a nest.
DJ Pre K
Hey, y'.
John Clay Wolf
All.
DJ Pre K
Nibbler things take time. I.
John Clay Wolf
You know, it has taken time.
DJ Pre K
You can't rush the perfection, okay?
John Clay Wolf
Right.
DJ Pre K
Because once this Cadillac is rolling.
Bobbo
What? Yeah. Good things. I'm telling you, baby, good things take time. Pre K. But Prince is dead and he made an album in a year and a half.
John Clay Wolf
That's a good one. That's a good one. Don Cornelius.
Bobbo
Thank you very much, John.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of Prince. Hang on, I'm gonna grab you one. Man, I've been listening to some Prince lately.
J.D. Ryan
Hanging on the boat with Rush. Rush Limbaugh in Florida.
John Clay Wolf
Russian.
J.D. Ryan
So jealous. Those beautiful pictures of his beautiful boat.
John Clay Wolf
Who's.
J.D. Ryan
Who's. It was? Your buddy, your friend's boat. We'll get to all that, all that later.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, all that and more later, Bob. What's. What's in the news. Fixed to have to really get started. Gary Busey, our 8 o' clock fire up a network is coming right now. We're just on one station. We can talk to dc. Sure you can give them.
Bobbo
Did you mean Bob or J.D.
John Clay Wolf
I meant Garth Brooks.
J.D. Ryan
He has a song out with Blake Shelton called Dive Bar. You know, dive bars are cool. Everybody's been to them, everybody loves them. And he's now actually going to go on tour. Garth on tour at dive bars starting next Monday in Chicago. Garth explains why he loves dive bars and wants to save them from extinction.
John Clay Wolf
It is something that should not see extinction because that's sometimes, man, that's your church, you know? And for those people who think that's sacrilegious, please hear me out. It's just a church is people who.
Bobbo
Are like you that are searching and.
John Clay Wolf
Sometimes you just need a shoulder to lean on and. Oh God, just shut up. A dive bar is.
Bobbo
Man, that's what a good one is. Anyway.
John Clay Wolf
I hate Garth Brooks.
J.D. Ryan
Why? Why?
Bobbo
Why?
John Clay Wolf
If I was ever gonna go to jail, I'd just kill him. And they just take me to jail.
J.D. Ryan
You're going down anyway.
Bobbo
You're gonna shank the Garth?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
DJ Pre K
Why?
John Clay Wolf
Just. Just all of his crappy. He ruined country music. Just single handedly took it down.
Bobbo
I've been saying that for years. Have you ever heard me tell somebody that that's not country music. Country music is dead. I know because I saw Garth Brooks kill it in 1994.
John Clay Wolf
He did, right? He really, really, really did. And that smiley. Jesusy. Fakey.
DJ Pre K
Very fake.
Caller/Guest
And.
John Clay Wolf
And he's not a. He's not a bad guy. Blake Shelton's a better version of Garth Brooks than Garth Brooks.
J.D. Ryan
Interesting.
John Clay Wolf
Really?
DJ Pre K
You don't like Blake Shelton?
John Clay Wolf
No, I said Blake Shelton's a better ver.
DJ Pre K
Better version.
Uncle Norman
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, he. He's got a more believable personality. Garth Brooks reminds me of a. A Catholic preacher that might take one behind the altar.
Bobbo
I get you. Just a little fake and a little, Little goofy.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, a little goofy.
Bobbo
G is the Gilligan to Blake Shelton Skipper? Kind of a little bit, you know.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, that's a stretch, but that's fine. I mean, you had to come up with something, so you did that. But yeah, it's, it's, it's fine. Of course. What's going on in traffic up there? Bob.
J.D. Ryan
Whoever you are here real quick in DC proper I295 northbound between laboratory Road and the Naval research Lab. We all know where that is. The South Capitol street single Lane getting by there. That's just a work zone. Canal Road. Now this is important. Northwest, both ways between Reservoir Road and Foxhall Road. Closed because of that big sinkhole. Ton of rain on Thursday. Sinkhole in the middle of the road. So that's completely closed off for the next few days.
John Clay Wolf
Just like JD's butt cheeks.
Bobbo
Just like Naval Research Lab.
J.D. Ryan
Yes, the Naval Research Lab. South Capitol street northbound on Fredericks Douglas Bridge. That is blocked. That is simply a work zone. And let's see here. Weather wise, gonna be pretty, pretty nice. Actually. The rain is gone. Should be back midweek. Sunny and 75 degrees. Currently at big one, the John Claywolf shows coming up.
Bobbo
Don't go away.
John Clay Wolf

Vin.com that's what we do first thing in the morning. Coffee.
And call John toll free. Cheap bastards, 1, 800, 800 radio. This is my creative genius, D. Now, John Clay Wolf.
Who is this? Bob, Did I prove this music?
Bobbo
Yes, you did. That's Doobie Brothers, man.
John Clay Wolf
Did you go see him?
Bobbo
The almighty Doobie.
John Clay Wolf
Is that tonight?
Bobbo
Dude, they're getting. I think they're getting really angry about this Rock and Roll hall of Fame thing, you know? Yeah, they were badass. They were. They were absolutely badass. They played with Santana.
John Clay Wolf
Was it last night?
Bobbo
Last Saturday.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Bobbo
Yeah. And Santana brought him out on the stage. Patrick Simmons, Tommy Johnson, John McPhee. And they played like the old zombie song. She's not there.
John Clay Wolf
John McV.
Bobbo
John McPhee.
John Clay Wolf
Fee. Okay.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
Bobbo
Doobie Brothers are, are absolutely awesome. If you get a chance to see him where you are, do it. Just do it.
John Clay Wolf
Was Michael there?
Bobbo
No, Michael McDonald hasn't been in the band. You know, they broke up like in 82. When they got back together in 88. It was just the old Biker Doobies, you know, and they're just playing a great mix of like that California country rock sound. But sometimes they just plain rock out.
J.D. Ryan
Did they have a falling out with Michael McDonald?
Bobbo
No.
John Clay Wolf
No.
Bobbo
And the doobies are funny, you know. Steely Dan, the Eagles and Peak Floyd. A lot of bands have had personal changes over the years, and that guy's never coming back. The Doobie Brothers, and this is true, have a standing charter that says any former collaborators are welcome to come back anytime.
DJ Pre K
I think Michael's in town in Dallas, Texas next week.
J.D. Ryan
Really?
Bobbo
He's playing this week?
DJ Pre K
We need to get him on the phone, calls in. Yeah, we'll get him on the phone here in a little bit, I think.
John Clay Wolf
A little bit sass. I think he's calling in now.
DJ Pre K
Is he in there? Yeah, we got to get him set up here. Hold on.
John Clay Wolf
No, he is set up. I'm ahead of you, dog. I'm ahead of you.
DJ Pre K
Pull him up now.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, Pull him up.
J.D. Ryan
Michael McDonald, man, what a great talent.
John Clay Wolf
Michael, where's your doobie, brother? Music.
J.D. Ryan
He's taking it to the streets.
John Clay Wolf
Turley, you don't have it?
DJ Pre K
Oh, wait for him to get out.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
J.D. Ryan
It's kind of early for Michael.
John Clay Wolf
Mikey there. I can't hear him. It's on mute. Michael, you moron. Go tell him. Okay. Did you see where the guy from Alton and Johnson died?
DJ Pre K
I heard about that. Yes. I don't know how many people.
John Clay Wolf
Maybe Bob remember him, so smile. Put it on mute, Michael, or I need to put it on air. There he is. Michael, you there? Michael?
DJ Pre K
It's been a couple weeks here, huh?
John Clay Wolf
God almighty. Okay, well, listen, can you go get Michael and bring Michael?
DJ Pre K
Why don't just bring him in the studio?
John Clay Wolf
Damn. Just get him in here. Just bring him in. Just get in studio.
J.D. Ryan
This is so cool.
DJ Pre K
Can we reset? Hey, guess what, Michael McDonald's gonna be in studio. Really? Yeah.
Bobbo
What a stupid idea that was.
John Clay Wolf
Who's in charge, baby? So, Mike, why didn't you go play with the doobies last weekend?
Bobbo
We had a thing about who's the singer gonna be, Right. Where you going?
John Clay Wolf
Where you going?
Bobbo
He needs a wireless microphone to walk around.
John Clay Wolf
Where's he going?
Bobbo
What's John do?
John Clay Wolf
Jd? That meant prod him. That meant prod him. That's what that meant. Prod him.
J.D. Ryan
Sorry, we just.
John Clay Wolf
What a bunch of. What a bunch of half ass rookie bastards. DJ Pre K. Dombo's fired and JD's fired.
J.D. Ryan
You tell me to shut up and shut up. And now you're not half ass.
John Clay Wolf
Just you. You just shut up. How do I turn this deal off?
DJ Pre K
Hold up just a moment. I've been waiting for, baby Hell yeah. Hey, we big time now.
John Clay Wolf
Yo mama, I made it. We did it. Azel, Texas, what's good? So, dj, what would you like to do for the rest of the next four and a half hours? Shout out to your moms.
DJ Pre K
Yo, yo, what's up, mama? What's up? What's up, dad? Yo, can I just give a whole bunch of gangster shout outs?
Bobbo
Sure.
DJ Pre K
Yo, shout out to the Smash Squad. You know what I'm saying? Azel, Texas, what it do my boy Big Z down there in Agtown. Yo, what's cracking, man?
John Clay Wolf
Hey, holla at your boy.
DJ Pre K
I need to come get that sack.
J.D. Ryan
This is going to be a great show.
John Clay Wolf
Come get that same 8008-0072-3480-0800 rating. So back to the Dubies. You went to the show and they were good.
Bobbo
They're just badass.
John Clay Wolf
Badass. It's better than good.
Bobbo
Yeah, I've seen a lot of Doobie shows. I'm. I got to thinking the other day, I bet I've been to that show a dozen times at least since 88.
John Clay Wolf
How long ago did McDonald leave them?
Bobbo
82. But really the band kind of disbanded in 82, so they didn't do anything at that time until 1988. And they came back with basically the original lineup without Michael McDonald.
John Clay Wolf
Do they play this song? Do they play his songs?
Bobbo
They play Taking it to the Streets.
John Clay Wolf
They don't play this.
Bobbo
And that's the only one. And the reason they play Taking it to the Streets is they've got Bill Payne, who's the keyboardist from Little Feet, and the guy singing lead is John Cohen, who used to be the lead singer of the Newgrass Revival. You remember them calling Baton Rouge?
John Clay Wolf
No.
Bobbo
He's now the bass player for the Doobie Brothers. And he's got a high, high voice.
John Clay Wolf
All right. Does he have a long, long beard? Yeah, most bass players do. Robert, good morning. How are you?
Caller/Guest
Good morning, John. I'm great, man. Glad to hear y' all don't really miss Michael that much from the Doobies. Yeah, he's a great musician. Don't get me wrong, man. With them, guys can keep moving on. They're doing Great.
John Clay Wolf
Screw Michael McDonald. Is what you say. To hell with him.
Caller/Guest
No, you know, I'm not going there, Manny. Like I say, he's great musician, you know, great voice and all that. But the Doobies push on without Him?
John Clay Wolf
Well, he's had him. He's, you know, he doesn't have any money anymore. We bought every car and everything he owns. He calls in for the past two years selling us his boats and his 90, his 88 Cadillac Elante. It's a joke with Bobbo impersonating him, but in reality, we bought a lot of cars from Michael McDonald's, so he's.
Caller/Guest
The one with the dough.
John Clay Wolf
Ready?
Caller/Guest
Me. There's no doubt about it.
John Clay Wolf
Thanks for calling in.
Caller/Guest
All right, you catch. Have a great day, all right.
John Clay Wolf
I feel like. I feel like One of those FF DJs smiling. Thanks for calling in.
J.D. Ryan
Thanks for calling in, everybody.
John Clay Wolf
Thanks for calling in.
J.D. Ryan
77 degrees, five minutes away from 8 o' clock traffic. Coming up.
John Clay Wolf
Just if you could smile, then. They hear you smiling, Bobbo.
J.D. Ryan
Right?
Bobbo
That's absolutely right.
John Clay Wolf
If I have my hand on my unit, do they hear that, too?
Bobbo
Someone. Someone.
John Clay Wolf
800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio.
Bobbo
Michael sounds like he's calling in on, like, one of those flip phones or something.
John Clay Wolf
So the mix doubles contender that hit her partner in the head with a serve. We did find the audio bite.
DJ Pre K
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Here's what. I can hear what the guy says. Son of a. It might be it. She's done it again. Oh, no. Number two.
Bobbo
Oh, no.
John Clay Wolf
Ouch.
DJ Pre K
You just wonder.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, my goodness. You just wonder whether he'll start to adjust where he's standing soon. Because that is the second time this tournament that this has happened. Listen to the sound.
Bobbo
Right?
John Clay Wolf
Doesn't this remind me of one of those stupid comedy shows where, like, they're doing something, the guy's, like, dying? Yeah. Yeah, almost.
J.D. Ryan
She's done it again.
John Clay Wolf
Done it again. He's knocked his tooth out.
Bobbo
Oh, no.
DJ Pre K
He's lost Moan, too, right before.
John Clay Wolf
He's lost his left hand, but he'll make it, damn it.
J.D. Ryan
And every time she serves from now on, he's going to be. Here it comes. Here it comes. Here it comes.
Caller/Guest
Pick him.
J.D. Ryan
Right in the back of the head, I believe.
Bobbo
I believe Standard's got a little bit of his pituitary gland sticking out of his ear there.
J.D. Ryan
Great.
John Clay Wolf
What did you say?
Bobbo
I believe Savannah's got a little bit of his pituitary gland leaking out of his ear. This is not good.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, that is funny. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4.
J.D. Ryan
What's even funnier in the English accent?
John Clay Wolf
800, 800, radio. Speaking of wild pitches, Jerry Seinfeld did one this week. Yeah, it wasn't wild.
DJ Pre K
It wasn't wild. It was Right down the middle. And he started bragging to all the other comedians out there that he's the best.
John Clay Wolf
I am 65 years old, okay? I challenge another 65 year old sitcom.
DJ Pre K
Star to hum that in there right over the plate.
John Clay Wolf
Now what was with dropping down sidearm? What was that all about? That's my style. I used to be an infielder. When it's the bottom of the ninth, you will often say, and the Mets are down to their last out. That is not technically true. As you know, it's potentially the last out. But you always say, and the Mets are down to their last strike.
DJ Pre K
Also not true.
John Clay Wolf
Right. Because obviously anybody can come back from any count, you understand? That's enhancing the drama of the moment. So that if the Mets pull it out, it feels like they've come back from the brink.
J.D. Ryan
Is that really why you do it?
John Clay Wolf
Potentially, because there's too many syllables. Maybe that's the reason. So was Jerry up in the booth calling the game? Yeah, yeah.
Bobbo
He really had a great time with those guys, man. And as you remember, it's 50th anniversary or something. Anniversary of Seinfeld. And we're back with more John Clay Wolf after this.
John Clay Wolf
Broadcasting live from the Wolf Radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf show with John Clay Wolf.
Hello, Casino Blackjack D. Hit him up now.
800, 800 radio.
We love friends as long as they're on our side.
Now, John Clay Wolf, we love who.
Friends as long as they're on our side.
Bobbo
Everybody needs friends. John.
John Clay Wolf
I didn't get it. Was that funny? I thought you were supposed to be funny.
Satan
Funny.
John Clay Wolf
I didn't think it was funny.
Bobbo
Funny how?
John Clay Wolf
I just didn't think it was funny at all.
Bobbo
Oh, you know what you said. Say what you said, big boy.
John Clay Wolf
You're supposed to be pulling drops out of old shows that are funny to put in the tag of the lead funny hat.
Bobbo
Like I'm a clown here.
John Clay Wolf
No, like I'm a clown. Like you're taking my voice and creating funny clips that I do when I'm funny. But if you pull non funny clips, it makes me look not funny to amuse you. That what you just played makes me look stupid. So what I feel like you're doing.
Bobbo
John, you don't need me to help you look stupid.
John Clay Wolf
Don't whitewash me. Don't dilute me. Downwash. Don't wreck my brain or whatever. Don't make me look stupid.
Bobbo
Whatever.
John Clay Wolf
Don't make me look stupid. I mean, it's like Turley in His drops.
Bobbo
That's like me saying don't to you. Don't make me look fat, John. I'm already fat.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, Turley. What. What drops to make me look stupid?
DJ Pre K
It's got to be in the moment, man. Oh, it's got to be in the moment.
John Clay Wolf
He won't let me drag him out of you unscathed. No, no.
DJ Pre K
It's got to be in the movie.
John Clay Wolf
At least one, because I can't talk about.
DJ Pre K
I can't make you look stupid.
John Clay Wolf
Then I'm gay. Marco and Virginia, can you let me.
Caller/Guest
Run my mouth for a couple minutes on air? Come on, now.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, Marco.
Caller/Guest
Hey, Marco. That's me. Yeah. How you doing?
John Clay Wolf
Put your teeth back in and talk to me, honey.
Caller/Guest
You guys are cracking me up. I've been laughing so hard my rib cage is hurting. All right.
J.D. Ryan
What?
John Clay Wolf
Dropped your message. What?
Caller/Guest
No, no. I don't do that crap. I don't do that. My drug of choice is alcohol. Don't worry about that.
John Clay Wolf
You can't cuss on the radio. You can't drop an F bomb on the radio. You know that, Marco. Come on now, Nate, I didn't say.
Caller/Guest
F. Did I say F?
John Clay Wolf
You did. You said my drug of choice is.
Bobbo
Oh.
John Clay Wolf
I said alcohol.
Caller/Guest
Oh, C, C. See how stupid I am?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Stupid I am.
Caller/Guest
I'm sorry. I apologize. I apologize.
John Clay Wolf
All right, so what do you call it? Like, what. What do you want from me?
Caller/Guest
You play great music, but, like, you bring up, like, that stupid song. What the hell was it? I don't. But what about Led Zeppelin? Great. Like, New Orleans, you know, Every time New Orleans got a tropical storm or a hurricane coming, why can't the New Orleans radio stations play when the Levee Breaks? When the Larry rate. And I bet you guys don't get got the kahoot to play the studio version of when the Levy Breaks by Led Zeppelin.
John Clay Wolf
Nah. I don't know. I don't think I want to do that.
DJ Pre K
No.
John Clay Wolf
That song sucks, Marco. Well, look, I mean, who wants to.
Caller/Guest
Hear that, you know?
Bobbo
Nobody in New Orleans.
Caller/Guest
Dude, it was, like, awesome drums, awesome harmonica, awesome vocals. Come on.
John Clay Wolf
I don't even know how it goes. Do you?
Caller/Guest
Damn. What? Pull it up. Then.
John Clay Wolf
How does it go?
Caller/Guest
The studio version of when the Levee Breaks.
John Clay Wolf
How does it go?
Caller/Guest
It goes. If it keeps on raining, levee's gonna break.
John Clay Wolf
All right, all right, all right. We'll work on it. We'll work on it. Thank you.
Bobbo
He's not wrong. But you don't. Here's why, Marco. Here's why. They don't jab you with that right now because it's a sensitive situation, man. It's a realistically real, live, real time, dangerous situation.
John Clay Wolf
He didn't even hear it in the background. He didn't even know we were playing it the whole time and he didn't hear it.
Bobbo
You can't drink all day if you don't start first thing in the morning.
John Clay Wolf
Well, since we. We talk about lame songs and lame music and he wants to hear about Led Zeppelin. I think we owe it to Marco since he broke a meth pipe on us. That Paul Harvey, the old, you know, Paul Harvey. Everybody thinks he's dead, but he's really not.
Bobbo
The God made armor guy.
J.D. Ryan
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. He wants to read a story about Led Zeppelin.
J.D. Ryan
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
This would be great.
Bobbo
Presenting lyrics by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Hey, hey Mama said the way you move Gonna make you sweat Gonna make you groove Ah, child way you shake that thing hey baby, when you walk that way Watch your honey drip.
J.D. Ryan
I.
Bobbo
Can'T keep away oh my.
John Clay Wolf
That sounds very sexual.
Bobbo
Gonna make you burn Gonna make you chlamydia sting.
John Clay Wolf
Ouch.
Bobbo
Page two. Oh yeah oh yeah Ah, ah, ah I got a role I can't see Stand still going Got the flaming heart can't get my fill that's page two. With eyes that shine Burning red dreams of you all through my head Paul Harvey. Good day.
John Clay Wolf
Thanks, Paul. That was the second best thing you've done since that super bowl commercial for Dodge since you died. Oh, baby. Ryan in Cyprus. Good morning. You're on the air.
J.D. Ryan
Good morning.
Bobbo
How are you?
John Clay Wolf
12 FX2. Is it leather? Cloth. Cloth. 170,000 miles. Does, does, does, does, does, Does 9,000. Buy it because it sounds like enough from. With.
Caller/Guest
Probably not.
John Clay Wolf
Take 10. Yeah, I can't give it. Not with 170. Unless it's leather. Does it have a leather. Does it have a sunroof? Or any other redeeming qualities besides 170,000 miles?
Caller/Guest
No. EcoBoost.
John Clay Wolf
See, that's even worse. So now I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna give the nine because I said it, but I don't even want it now. EcoBoost, it's a, it's a high revving six cylinder engine that's turbocharged. So it's, it's run its life at a higher RPM than an eight cylinder and therefore it's not going to last as long. And the 170 on the clock on a six banger is really like 220 on a clock on a banger. Make sense because you're running to higher rate.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Higher heartbeat. If you want to sell it, go to give me the vi n. Givemethe vin. Givemetheven.com and we'll buy it. Ray and Granbury. 200,000 mile beater. Lariat. What kind of hood these you got? Are you mad? See, there's. There's.
DJ Pre K
Why would you ask him that?
John Clay Wolf
There's Turley making me look stupid again with drops.
Bobbo
What a strange thing to say.
John Clay Wolf
Very strange. Why would you ask him that? Holy hell. Where did you get that? Ray, are you there?
Caller/Guest
Yes, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Is the paint coming off of it?
Caller/Guest
No, it's just SAP. And what do they call that? From the sun oxidization?
John Clay Wolf
No, the paint ain't coming off of it. It's just covered in tree SAP. And all the paints burn up with the sun.
Bobbo
The re. Entry burns.
John Clay Wolf
God damn right.
Caller/Guest
It's still black.
John Clay Wolf
It's still black underneath. You know, I've been trying to give it away to the Mexicans at the flea market on Sunday, and they don't even want the damn thing, so I figured I'd call you.
Bobbo
What does no comprendi mean?
Caller/Guest
I'm still driving it. I just want to know what it's worth.
John Clay Wolf
Worth about 300, Ray. Maybe 373, 375. God Almighty. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. The floor barger used to be tan, but now they're tobacco spit brown. Yeah, you can put your foot through the. Down the bottom of it. There's a dead Puerto Rican in the back seat.
J.D. Ryan
Speedometer doesn't work, but you can look right through the floorboard, see how fast you're going.
Bobbo
Stop at Fred Flintstone style.
John Clay Wolf
Two weeks from now. I was listening to the car with my kid and.
DJ Pre K
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
John Clay Wolf
The house said we do have a.
I know, I know.
Can I finish my goddamn. The host said that there was a dead Puerto Rican in the backseat. My great grandmother came over to America from Puerto Rico. And I find this very offensive.
Bobbo
You just lost a listener.
John Clay Wolf
Puerto Rican's not allowed to die. We'll get to this later when our Puerto Rican crew chief, Uncle Normie, shows up.
Bobbo
Oh, is Norman coming in?
John Clay Wolf
Do we have. You just lost a listener this week?
DJ Pre K
Yeah. Yeah, we do.
Caller/Guest
This is Gabriel in Austin, Texas. And I'm very offended by the John Clay Wolf Show.
Bobbo
You just lost a listener.
J.D. Ryan
I see. This week, Becky Potter chimed in. She said she used to like listening to the show on 92. 5. It was always kind of Fun. But today I caught the show and listening to him, assuming that means John, I guess say the B word several times. She just put B and then a bunch of, you know, little icons.
John Clay Wolf
She didn't want her fingers to catch fire. She typed it out.
J.D. Ryan
My daughter was in the back seat. So I was kind of surprised.
John Clay Wolf
So hold up. If she's listened to us for a long time, she knows we're edgy. She should not have brought her child into a pornographic movie.
J.D. Ryan
I was surprised they did not bleep out the bad words. You know, kind of bleep. Guess I'll listen to something else in the car. And then she talks about another radio personality.
John Clay Wolf
What's her name?
J.D. Ryan
This is Becky Potter.
John Clay Wolf
Becky, call in real quick. Talk to us about 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. I want to apologize on air to you and your daughter. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.
DJ Pre K
Do you really want to apologize?
John Clay Wolf
Absolutely. I hope she calls it.
Bobbo
My daughter was in the backseat. The daughter's 24.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And drunk.
Bobbo
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
I was popping her out of. Out of the Mansfield county jail. That's the holding tank for DWIs. And within a 50 mile radius. Who's been down there to bust their buddy out? I have everybody.
Uncle Norman
Everybody.
John Clay Wolf
It's old Mansfield.
Bobbo
Everybody's got a cousin in Mansfield.
J.D. Ryan
I've been to that one. Tarrant County, Dallas County.
John Clay Wolf
John David, do you want to take us out? We have a 20 seconds before we pop.
J.D. Ryan
We can sure talk about the tropical storm Barry coming up as he inches closer to the Louisiana coastline. When we come back. Yes, Barry. Oh, we're going to talk to Barry. The coastal storm cannot wait for that. Call in 1-800-RADIO. 1-800-7234. Give us a call if you'd like to sell your car on the John Clay Wolf show. It's all coming up.
Bobbo
Don't go away.

Always good. Start off with a mad host.
John Clay Wolf
This is the John Clay Wolf Show.
DJ Pre K
What.
John Clay Wolf
What was. What was your intro? He scrubbed. Always what?
J.D. Ryan
Always good to start off with a mad host.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I think Bobo sandbagging me this week. I mean, he's pulling a bunch of bad drops on me. What was mine? It was terrible. It's like something really stupid.
Bobbo
Well, you said it.
John Clay Wolf
H. Yeah, but, I mean, you take me out of context and you replay me into fool for the City. And I mean, you know, I see what you're doing here. I see how you're angling for my gig.
Bobbo
You're right. You're right, John. I've got an idea. Why don't you.
John Clay Wolf
Domingo.
Caller/Guest
Yo.
Bobbo
Good morning.
Caller/Guest
Good morning, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Average. Average. Rough or clean.
Caller/Guest
Well, I got a joke for you, boss.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, a joke? Oh, this is Domingo the joke man. The Hispanic, the south of the mortar. Ex cartel illegal on a half ass visa. Mexican man that comes up here to Dallas to tell jokes.
Caller/Guest
Okay, man, why you want to slam me like that, man?
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Caller/Guest
Suck a lot to my little friend.
John Clay Wolf
What's your joke, boss? Hey, yeah, hey, what do you got?
Caller/Guest
What do you.
Bobbo
What do you call.
Caller/Guest
What do you call a bouncer in a gay bar? What, A flamethrower?
Bobbo
A flamethrower? You just lost a listener.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, Domingo.
J.D. Ryan
That was good.
John Clay Wolf
That was like the best joke Domingo's ever called, actually. I mean, we had to go through like 18 of them for three years. We finally got a good one.
DJ Pre K
Standards were low.
John Clay Wolf
Randy White in Dallas. Is this. Is this. Is this the Randy White?
Caller/Guest
Yes, sir. This is the Randy White Jeep, Dodge Chrysler McKinney.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. So do you Used to. Used to play? Was it nose tackle or. No. What did Randy White play? Defensive.
Caller/Guest
Defensive tackle, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Cowboys.
Caller/Guest
Come on now.
John Clay Wolf
So you. You have. You graduated from a pro bowler to a used car salesman in McKinney, Texas?
Caller/Guest
Yes, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Yes, sir.
Caller/Guest
Sure did do employment on the side as well.
John Clay Wolf
So you. What is your job at this dealer ship you're calling from?
Caller/Guest
Oh, well, I'm just more or less seeing how much your boy's gonna get for me. Really not on the books for the McKinney I understand.
John Clay Wolf
Are you the used car manager?
Caller/Guest
Oh, this car? Yes, sir.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, no, no. As a dealership.
Caller/Guest
No, sir. No, sir.
Bobbo
Not at the dealership.
Caller/Guest
No, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Who is the used car manager of the dealership? Rattle his name off. It's okay.
Caller/Guest
Oh, Randy. Wet.
DJ Pre K
I don't know.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I want to buy the cars from. If I'm gonna buy a 98 pile of crap Dodge truck, I want to buy 40 of them and I want.
Caller/Guest
Oh, hold on, hold on now, John. Hold on, John. It's not a pile of crap.
John Clay Wolf
I want to buy it from the used car manager and it's. You bring up a good point. All used car managers listening throughout the country. If you want to sell us your cars and skip the auction, save the fees, get the right money on the front side, just go to givemetheven.com and I can hook you up with our trade in desk and we will bid your cars and buy them real time as we go throughout the day. And Randy White, I'm gonna. I'm gonna pass on yours for now because if I'm gonna buy a turd like this, then I. I only buy.
Bobbo
Oh, hold on, buddy.
John Clay Wolf
I only buy turd balls. Unless, you know, 200 cars. If I'm buying them in groups and I'm getting good stuff with it, I don't want junk. It costs too much to handle junk. How many cost us a hundred dollars or $200 or $300 to send somebody to your house to pick it up? I mean, it's hard. It's pretty hard to make $500 on a hundred dollar car when you spent $600 moving it around.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, I'm not great at math, but yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Now this truck here, even though it's hot miles, it still has value. Joe, a 12 ram laramie with 160. Good morning.
Caller/Guest
Good morning.
John Clay Wolf
Is it, I take it it's a Cummins or. Wouldn't have made it this far.
Caller/Guest
It does have this. It does have the 67 Cummins Turbo and it no def. Okay, so that's the year that went to the next year. No, it's never had the def on it. It's the year right before they put it on.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, Diesel. The deer urine is what I call it. It's like. It's like deer pee. It's diesel fluid. Does. Is it deleted or is it straight pipe?
Caller/Guest
I did put a straight exhaust.
John Clay Wolf
Of course you did.
Caller/Guest
And, and all the, and all the, and all the. And all that other junk that's sitting on top of the motor. I Pulled all that junk off too. So it's just a good straight motor.
John Clay Wolf
Freed her up, let it breathe. Let's let this breathe. And he also picked up.
Caller/Guest
Hell yeah.
John Clay Wolf
He picked up four miles a gallon when he did that. About how much did you pick up when he did it? Miles per gallon.
Caller/Guest
I wasn't that impressed. I think I picked up maybe two. I bought the truck just to pull my camper and it's just been setting for about the last year. The tires are about 60% left on them. You know, they're like new truck, straight body, straights, leather, air conditioned, heated seats, heated steering wheel. It's got the navigation system, backup camera and all that.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, before you read the window sticker to me again, it's got $160,000 on it and it's been chopped, but it's nice. Does 18 grand buy it?
Caller/Guest
No, not that. Not for 18. Does that, does that affect it when you much of the sale, are you able to sell them with when they're like that off of a dealer floor?
John Clay Wolf
It's legal, it's. It's just illegal. And it can get you, you know, $10,000 ticket.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
I mean out in the country you can get away with it, but in the city you can't anymore. No, it's greatly affected the values. But yeah, I think it's eight. What's it take to buy it?
Caller/Guest
Man, I don't know. I don't know. That was way off what I thought it was worth when I pulled it up on a Kelly blue book. Kelly for that model, it was way. Had it priced way up there. Even on the low side it was.
John Clay Wolf
Like 25 Kelly blue balls said 160,000 mile Laramie is worth 25,000? I don't think so.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, right around 20, 24 to 25. And that's, that's clean. I'd put it in clean.
John Clay Wolf
Right. Doesn't Everybody? I think 18 is, I think Kelly blue balls. I mean, have you ever called a phone in sex line?
Caller/Guest
No.
John Clay Wolf
Back in the 80s, you know, it's five bucks, you know. Yeah. Yes. And, and you know, they talk dirty to you, but. But there's no skin. There's no reality, there's no, there's no touch. And that's kind of what Kelly blue balls is. She just talks dirty to you and gets you all hot. There's nothing there. But I might give 20 grand like it. The difference between me and Kelly blue balls is that I write a check and she just talks dirty to you.
Bobbo
You.
John Clay Wolf
So if you, if you want to. If you want to get talked to, call. Go call Kelly. If you want to get a check, call me. Go to givemetheven.com. give me the vin.com. load this thing up. Let me see. I might give 20 grand. You're not going to get 25 for 160,000 mile. 9 year old or what? However year we in 19. 27 year old. I may be a little light. It may be 22. It may be 22. Okay, thanks. 887 234. 808. Dear John, I was listening with my daughter in the car last week and you were talking about Kelly Blue Balls.
J.D. Ryan
I don't think that was appropriate language.
John Clay Wolf
But see, if you just skip over it and don't talk about it, then nobody knows what the hell that means. It's just bad humor. Sophomore, freshman humor that we as adults that think stupid can enjoy if we just don't point it out and drag everybody back through it.
Bobbo
Well, you gotta specialize.
John Clay Wolf
All right, we'll be right back.

John Clay Wolf
Yeah, we're back.
J.D. Ryan
And I was wondering, wave at me one time.
John Clay Wolf
Do you know who this singer is?
J.D. Ryan
No.
John Clay Wolf
God almighty. How did you spend be Mr. FM DJ for two decades? Dude, I was top 40 stations and you don't know any of the music.
J.D. Ryan
Real simple. You want to know how? It's very easy. When the song starts, you turn it down and you get on the phone and hit on chicks.
DJ Pre K
So you didn't have to know anything about them.
J.D. Ryan
I knew nothing about the music. I didn't even know what songs we played.
DJ Pre K
How many different formats did you do?
J.D. Ryan
Country and top 40 rock.
DJ Pre K
Okay, so pretty much the mainstream stuff.
John Clay Wolf
This is a guy named Steve Miller. I don't know if you've heard of him.
J.D. Ryan
What's he do?
John Clay Wolf
He's a singer and a guitar player. He had a.
J.D. Ryan
Well, he's just appeared on the show. Like, Abracadabra.
John Clay Wolf
800-800-72-3,4.
Bobbo
Good morning, everyone.
John Clay Wolf
You know, I was. JD's over there jacking with his Facebook while we're doing radio.
J.D. Ryan
Was not looking up a news story on the whole.
John Clay Wolf
Is Facebook more important than.
J.D. Ryan
No, but I was looking up where the hurricane is. Do you mind?
DJ Pre K
On Facebook.
J.D. Ryan
Right. It was on accuweather. You want to see it? Here. It's on accuweather.
John Clay Wolf
And the link was on.
Bobbo
That's where it is caused by Democrats.
John Clay Wolf
By the way, this morning, you know, and I'm bad. I wake up in the morning and I roll over and I grab my phone and I scroll through my newsfeed for whatever reasons. This is a habit. And I see. Do you mean sad music?
J.D. Ryan
John, don't do this. Really? Seriously. You read something I posted. I'd rather you don't. I mean, if that's. If. If you're about to do what I think you're gonna do.
John Clay Wolf
What do you think I'm gonna do?
J.D. Ryan
Read something I posted about.
John Clay Wolf
What?
J.D. Ryan
About my dog?
John Clay Wolf
No.
J.D. Ryan
Okay. Okay. I thought you were in my bed. You did something once before that was rather personal, and I just didn't rather you not do it.
John Clay Wolf
Oh. So if you posted it on Facebook.
J.D. Ryan
I'd rather you not read it on the radio. It is. Because it's personal.
John Clay Wolf
Different on Facebook than is on the radio. Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, it's personal. And you're. And you're making it a bit. And you're making it. Trying to make it funny. Because what we do here is humor.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, yeah.
J.D. Ryan
And what you're about to do is not that funny.
John Clay Wolf
Dead dogs aren't funny.
Uncle Norman
No.
J.D. Ryan
No, they're not.
John Clay Wolf
And that's why I'm doing something different. Okay, good. But thank you. Jd. Is there anything else that you need to let me know that I'm allowed to do on my show today? No, I just wanted.
J.D. Ryan
I mean, you got. Mike, turn my. Just turn my mic. I'll be back with you guys about noon.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, my God. I thought. I thought I left my. My old lady at the house.
J.D. Ryan
No, you didn't.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so I get up this morning on Facebook and I read about JD's dead dog. But after I read that, I read. Because dead dogs are so funny. Aren't they funny?
J.D. Ryan
Casey.
John Clay Wolf
Casey did a bit on dead dogs, didn't he? Okay, so, Mark Eckert.
J.D. Ryan
Now, John, you're all by yourself. Dying alone.
John Clay Wolf
Is with Laura Eckert. Sometimes life has an uncanny way. Way of making you step back and realize it's not going to work out as planned. This isn't funny. Today is one of those days. After 25 years of marriage, Laura and I have decided to part ways and see what the next phase of life has in store for us. We love one another and look forward to whatever friendship in the future holds. And then this guy wrote, I don't believe you anywhere back. It's unfortunate. Unfortunately, it's true. So, like, it's like a marriage obit. Did they write it together?
J.D. Ryan
Some people do, yeah.
DJ Pre K
Why announce it on Facebook?
John Clay Wolf
How did Mark Zuckerberg turn into our platform preacher?
Bobbo
Hold on.
J.D. Ryan
It's more of a. Of a. In the old days, there was party lines where people got together and you listen in and hear what people were talking about. That's it. It's people sharing. That's all their lives. Sometimes funny stuff, sometimes political, and occasionally something very touching and something that hurts their heart and they want their friends to know. And their friends are normally the people that follow them on Facebook. Sometimes it's people that don't give a crap.
Bobbo
Wait, this is Mark Zuckerberg.
J.D. Ryan
Zuckerberg, get into this.
John Clay Wolf
No, it's just. It's just Facebook divorce announcements.
Bobbo
Somebody, you know.
John Clay Wolf
So back in the. The newspaper used to have divorce and marriage death.
J.D. Ryan
Marriage, divorce.
John Clay Wolf
What's changed to Facebook?
Bobbo
Oh, man. When I was in my 30s, that was a mainstay. Every day I checked those out. Who's free? Who's free?
DJ Pre K
That's what I was saying. So he's basically saying, hey, ladies, guess what? I'm available now. That's kind of what I get out of it.
J.D. Ryan
So it's okay if you see me out with somebody else? Yeah, there we go. It's okay if you see me out with somebody else, it's okay.
Bobbo
Right.
DJ Pre K
But he's trying to be nice about.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
DJ Pre K
Like, oh, you know, we loved each.
John Clay Wolf
Other, blah, blah, blah.
J.D. Ryan
By the way, you can private message me.
DJ Pre K
Yeah, exactly.
Bobbo
That's a very, I don't know, banal thing to do. And then, I mean, announce your divorce on Facebook. What if you change your mind?
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, you should go with stuff that's really gonna happen. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, I was gonna stay off the dead dog thing, but you just had to bring it up.
J.D. Ryan
I saw. I'm sorry. You. You've been. You've done that before, and I thought that's where you were going. I apologize. John. Will you accept my apology?
John Clay Wolf
I don't know. I mean, do I look like Russ Martin?
J.D. Ryan
Will you accept my apology?
John Clay Wolf
Do I have an ass?
J.D. Ryan
There are moments that you do.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Sorry. And that was the moment I thought we were headed for, so. Well, I apologize.
John Clay Wolf
Tension in the studio this morning.
J.D. Ryan
Not at all for me. I apologized.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, my dog died, too. Hey, Turley, have you ever had a dog that. That died?
DJ Pre K
Yes, Baba.
John Clay Wolf
Have you ever had a dog that died?
Bobbo
Oh, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Dogs die. Holy hell. Let's shut the world down.
J.D. Ryan
What's it shut the world down? Didn't ask you to give a crap.
Bobbo
What's really.
J.D. Ryan
I don't expect you to give a crap about anybody but yourself.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, here we go.
Bobbo
Key West.
John Clay Wolf
Why don't you tell us about your trip to Port Aransas?
J.D. Ryan
I don't want to talk about it.
Bobbo
Why not?
J.D. Ryan
Because it was horrible.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, my God.
Bobbo
What's a real, really positive thing is why would you.
John Clay Wolf
Go ahead, Bob.
Bobbo
Most of the dogs that I've lost in my life, and I'm a dog person, all right, have been, like, you know, run over in the road, or I come home and Grandpa says, well, you.
John Clay Wolf
JD Just laughed at your dog getting run over.
J.D. Ryan
I just laughed at the fact that you thought the show couldn't get worse.
Bobbo
Because he's a prick. But JD Got to actually take his and say goodbye and be there.
DJ Pre K
At that moment, I don't think anybody knows. You might want to. If you're gonna talk about that, explain that.
J.D. Ryan
During our trip to Port Aransas, my dog got very, very ill. I did not know my dog had liver cancer. We saw it, but he suddenly got ill.
John Clay Wolf
But I thought y' all got sober years ago.
J.D. Ryan
Anyway, my dog got liver cancer. Did not know. Took him to the vet here on Wednesday. The vet said it's terminal. He'll probably pass within two weeks. You'll do him a favor to let him go. So we brought somebody into the house called Lapel Love. They're wonderful people. They come into your home and they do the process. That's what happened yesterday.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
J.D. Ryan
That's why the trip to Port Aransas was awful.
John Clay Wolf
So you were there for a week, right?
J.D. Ryan
Yes, we were midweek. The dog got ill, and we Took him to a vet down there. And the vet said, here's what's going on. You probably need to get home. So we went home and we took him to our vet. And this is what the vet said.
John Clay Wolf
And you adopted this dog because it was your. Your son?
J.D. Ryan
My son's dog. My son actually rescued the puppy 10 years ago. 10, 11 years ago. Yeah. Or that matter.
Bobbo
What's veterinarian in Port Aransas, Detective?
J.D. Ryan
It's the Island Vet Clinic.
Bobbo
There you go. So that's paid for?
J.D. Ryan
No, it's not paid for. No. $554. It's not paid for.
Bobbo
Okay. I was trying to help because I.

J.D. Ryan

John Clay Wolf
8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. He's not a hater.
DJ Pre K
He's a Texan.
J.D. Ryan
Yep.
Bobbo
He's the accidental racist.
John Clay Wolf
What are y' all talking about? Y' all are ridiculous. Eddie. An 06 Ford E350 Econo line with 71,000 miles. Ah, handicap?
Bobbo
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
You know, five, six. Six grand. Five, six grand. It depends. It all depends on what it looks like. Is it a conversion rig? Yeah. Can you load it into. Give me the VIN. Go to givemetheven.com Allen and Little Elm, you've got a 01 F350 that's been converted to a Harley Davidson package. Does that mean that you painted it? Harley Davidson paint scheme. And you put Harley Davidson seats in? It.
Caller/Guest
Has original doors, the whole front clip, the interior, the dash, everything is originally Harley. The bed is the only thing that's been painted.
John Clay Wolf
So was it a salvage title car?
Caller/Guest
No. Clean blue title.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bobbo
Clean blue tire.
John Clay Wolf
What do you want for this thing with 265,000 miles on it and two wheel drive?
Caller/Guest
I also got to tell you, it sits on air Ride full air, ride all the way around. Has a 24.5 inch 18 wheeler, rims on the front. Go all the way around with the smaller tires, not the, not the biggest in my tires.
John Clay Wolf
Let's stop with the truck and talk about you. What nationality are you? What heritage are you?
Caller/Guest
I'm Hispanic.
John Clay Wolf
No, stop it.
Uncle Norman
Really.
John Clay Wolf
Stop it. You are not. Quit that.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, I am half Mexican, half Salvadorian.
John Clay Wolf
What I would do is put this truck in the El Chapo. Not El Chapo, but El Chapo, the El Chapo rag, you know, the, the Hispanic newsletter for cars. This thing is so Hispanic that only a true Hispanic such as yourself is gonna appreciate what you have done here. And my dealers that I sell, I'm not, I'm not discounting it. And see there's, there's Hispanic, specialized Hispanic markets. There's specialized ghetto markets. DJ Pre K straighten me out here if I'm wrong. I mean.
DJ Pre K
What'S poppin?
John Clay Wolf
Where's the best place to sell what is a popular ghetto sled that's been all slicked up in these in this day and age?
DJ Pre K
Oh man, you know, I gotta go with the classic box Chevy Caprice, you know, saying. Or maybe an 80 fold Cadillac Barrit or Oldsmobile Sierra or Cutlass, you know, the Cut Dog, you know, we got a few options.
John Clay Wolf
So, so what you're saying is like the old 64 impala, the, that Easy and Dre made popular back in the 80s, that is no longer the ghetto sled of choice.
DJ Pre K
That's, that's still a classic. But you really ain't going to see too many of those rolling. You know, you might see more, you know, Lincoln Town Cars and you see.
John Clay Wolf
That, I think you'd find a lot of those through the police auction, the impound yard. Most of them have been hooked for drug paraphernalia and they lost the car. But Allan, I, I, I don't go to givemetheven.com and load it up. We will look. But my, I think your best bet is really in one of those Latin shopping racks on this one because you're gonna want a fortune for it. I'm not gonna give it, but you might find that one guy that appreciates what you did. Sounds cool though. Five grand. I'm thinking five grand.
Caller/Guest
I know, right?
John Clay Wolf
8008-0072-3480-0800-Rode. My name is John Claywolf. I buy cars in the air. Forgive thevend.com.

DJ Pre K
I think it's a tropical storm now, in fact. J.D.
John Clay Wolf
Do you have an update?
J.D. Ryan
Actually, we do, yes. Dawn broke along the Gulf Coast Saturday. Tropical Storm Barry was inching closer toward The Louisiana coastline. 65 mile an hour winds. It doesn't become a hurricane until it's 74, if that matters to anybody. That's still a lot of wind. So they're expecting that to possibly be right on the verge of a hurricane when it hits later today. It's going to be just at this.
John Clay Wolf
Point, just a bit outside, just a.
J.D. Ryan
Little low and inside. That pitch was low and inside, making a landfall just west of Marsh Island, Louisiana. That's about 100 miles west of New Orleans. That's where the actual landfall will be.
John Clay Wolf
100 miles west of New Orleans. Beaumont.
DJ Pre K
No, I know.
John Clay Wolf
Not really, but it's like. It's actually Charles.
J.D. Ryan
It's actually Marsh Island, Louisiana.

And, yeah, we're going to be hearing from him pretty shortly here.
John Clay Wolf
Why don't you hand the microphone over to a Tropical Storm Barry, Rob, and we'll. We'll talk to him right now.

Caller/Guest
I just love the gut Mexicans. I'm having a ball. You see my pirouette? I don't like Charles.
John Clay Wolf
I did not see you do a piercing pirouette above Lake Charles.
J.D. Ryan
I thought I saw it on radar, but I wasn't sure.
Caller/Guest
It's beautiful. I don't know. When the sun goes up in the morning, it's the time.
J.D. Ryan
Tropical Storm Barry is light.
John Clay Wolf
So, Barry, where are you going next?
Caller/Guest
Well, we're gonna take a quick swing over toward the west side of New Orleans, so get ready. We're gonna be probably just eating some Baton Rouge because Rob is a friend of mine and we say there's action until Saturday night.
John Clay Wolf
And is it hot? Are you hot and wet or just wet?
Caller/Guest
Well, I'll tell you, I was very cool just a couple of weeks ago, and then the temperatures started rising. I could feel it coming. Look at my T shirt. I'm happy like a little girl.
John Clay Wolf
What are you wearing right now, Tropical Storm Berry?
Caller/Guest
Well, a bit of a low pressure sweat mixed with high temperatures down low and a cool breeze up high.
J.D. Ryan
Doesn't it Bother you to do this much damage? You could do $10 million damage. You don't care.
Caller/Guest
You know, DJ Ryan and I thought about that for the last couple of weeks and I'll tell you what, the cream always rises to the top, okay? And I. Tropical Storm Barry. I'm doing my best to just bring Louisiana to the forefront of the world.
John Clay Wolf
Well, it sounds like you've got this all figured out right now is your cousin.

And then we have these satellite locations where we print Checks around the country and dispatch drivers to go pick them up. Or you can just bring them to us. Wow. Well, it sounds like the good news is that. Has there been no casualty or anything?
J.D. Ryan
No, not yet. No. And it'll be by Monday. You'll. Barry will be scattering juice all over Arkansas.
John Clay Wolf
So we were supposed to go to what? We were supposed to go to Water Rain. We were supposed to go to Baton Rouge today for the car show.
Bobbo
Right.
John Clay Wolf
And it got canceled. Are we going next week, papa?
Bobbo
Yeah, we're talking about doing that after the program. After the program. Right.

Yeah. I totally won't be you. You're not invited.
DJ Pre K
Oh, okay. Thanks.
John Clay Wolf
Appreciate that.
Bobbo
What's that about?
John Clay Wolf
I don't know. I mean, it's just. It's just. I. I don't know. I don't think it's worth it. I mean, people want to meet. They want to meet Bobbo, the guy with all the voices.
Bobbo
I don't think Randy the Squirrel.
J.D. Ryan
They want to meet.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I don't even know if they want to meet me, Bob. I mean, can you just go cover for me?
J.D. Ryan
I think if we send Bobbo and.
Caller/Guest
Pre K. Do I look like a damn squirrel? Do you?
J.D. Ryan
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Caller/Guest
What about me says squirrel? Are you totally, totally unaware of any animation that the Disney corporation ever released?
J.D. Ryan
I'm so sorry.
Caller/Guest
Squirrels are not chipmunks. Squirrels has that big, bushy, ridiculous tail, and they steal.
Bobbo
Yeah, they do.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, they do.
Caller/Guest
Yeah. They're ruining the English language.
John Clay Wolf
What?
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Bobbo
How's that?
Caller/Guest
I'm chipmunk. I said good day, Sir.
John Clay Wolf
Ben and Fort Ben in Texas. 08 Silverado Z71 with 88 or 68, 000 miles.
Caller/Guest
That's 88, 000.
John Clay Wolf
It's a leather extended cab, not a crew cab, right?
Caller/Guest
That's correct.
John Clay Wolf
Average rough or clean? Clean Sounds pretty. It's old, though. But I mean, if it's nice and slick. I think it's 10,000. Yeah, it is. It's real nice.
Caller/Guest
I. I've actually had an appraise at CarMax, and I'm on. I've got text. I actually did your. Your website deal, and. And I'm texting with Rich. Is it Richard maybe?
John Clay Wolf
Yes, I'm texting him that. I texted him.
Caller/Guest
I texted him a picture of that hopper.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, what did. What did CarMax offer you?
Caller/Guest
12 grand.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so if the. My advertising is. If I don't beat your CarMax offer, then I owe you 100 bucks. Where do you want me to mail the check? I'm kidding. No, I'm gonna. I'll. I'll give you 12,500.
Caller/Guest
Well, it's got to be at least 12, 750 because that's what I'll get for my, my taxes when I go buy a car. CarMax.
John Clay Wolf
Oh man, let me look at it. When I get off there, I might do it. All right, so for the record, I beat their bid by $500, right? Oh, hang on, don't start.
Caller/Guest
Technically. But.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, stop. Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben. Don't get. Don't get salty with me, Bernays. Okay, so they offered you. They offered you 12,000 for your car and I just offered you 12,500. Now you're talking about tax credits. That's a state trade in rule. That has nothing to do with. What the.
Caller/Guest
You're good, man. You're good.
John Clay Wolf
You're good.
Bobbo
You go ahead and look at my.
Caller/Guest
Car, let me know.
John Clay Wolf
Okay?
Bobbo
I will.
John Clay Wolf
But for the record, I beat CarMax by $500.
Caller/Guest
All right, all right, all right, all.
John Clay Wolf
Right, all right, all right, all right. Not technically again. I thought I left my old lady at the house, you know.
J.D. Ryan
You didn't factor in travel expenses?
John Clay Wolf
Nah, she's good. She gets mad at me when I use her in jokes.
J.D. Ryan
Wonderful.
John Clay Wolf
Because she's like. People think I'm a b.
J.D. Ryan
What are you talk.
John Clay Wolf
No, it's a joke. That's the oldest running gag bit in comedy.
J.D. Ryan
Johnny Carson did it for years.
John Clay Wolf
Archie Bunker did it for years. Roddy Dangerfield did it for years. Who? I mean, everybody.
Bobbo
Take my wife, please.
J.D. Ryan
I think we all agree. Anybody that could literally, we all love you, but put up with you forever.
John Clay Wolf
Let me tell you you something, you son of a. You take one more swing at me and I'm gonna take a swing back.
J.D. Ryan
Okay, okay.
John Clay Wolf
You're just sitting here all over my ass this morning. I'm nice to you.
J.D. Ryan
I was just saying.
John Clay Wolf
No, you're not.
J.D. Ryan
Something wonderful about your wife.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, about my wife, but about me. What you're just saying is anybody that can put up with you must be great. So I guess you're great too.
J.D. Ryan
That's kind of the running joke on this show. No, no, no, no. Isn't that kind of spell. Wait a minute. You just said your wife just cuz your dog died.
John Clay Wolf
Don't take it out on me.
J.D. Ryan
So your wife gets upset because somebody says you're hard to get along with. But then you turn around and do the same thing. You got your feelings hurt.
John Clay Wolf
You're not my wife. You're more Like Hurricane Barry.
J.D. Ryan
You got your feelings hurt.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, no. Your dog died, so you jumped my ass.
J.D. Ryan
No, no, no.
John Clay Wolf
That wouldn't. That's really, really, really, really. As soon as we started out, you tell me I'm like Russ Martin. You tell me I'm a this.
J.D. Ryan
You tell me I'm.
John Clay Wolf
If it's not about me, then I'm not interested. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry your dog died.
Caller/Guest
J.D.
J.D. Ryan
Thank you. Thank you.
John Clay Wolf
God almighty.

J.D. Ryan

John Clay Wolf
Good to see Uncle Norman. Our in house Puerto Rican during the operation Operation airdrop mission we did for hurricane Harvey. We were down in Puerto Rico. That next hurricane we. We found Norman.
Uncle Norman
Yep, yep.
John Clay Wolf
And we brought him back to the states and absolutely. You know, I figured if those guys could keep those 1950s cars running for all this time, he can work on our staff. And he wound up being our crew chief for give me the men.com.
Bobbo
Amazing job.
Uncle Norman
But you who the one who told me how to speak English and you didn't do a very good job.
John Clay Wolf
Now you live in an RV at Traders Village.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
Uncle Norman
If you want to sell a car that is Latino nice. Or Hispanic guys take it to Trader village. You sell it right there real quick.
John Clay Wolf
So the guy with the dually F1 Ford a minute ago.
Uncle Norman
Yeah, yeah. The one that. The Harley Davidson one.
John Clay Wolf
And do you, do you get out of your trailer on the weekends and your rv? Yes, I do. I do.
Uncle Norman
These people gotta go going on. There's always somebody singing. Oh for somebody drunk that you have to help out.
John Clay Wolf
That place is pretty Busy.
J.D. Ryan
Have you been out there, too?
John Clay Wolf
I've been there before.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
I. I know where it is.
DJ Pre K
For those that don't know what we're talking about, it's a. Basically a large flea market.
J.D. Ryan
Flea market giant. It's been there forever.
Uncle Norman
Yeah, flea market. Anything you want, from a lighter to.
J.D. Ryan
Stuff that was stolen from your home.
Bobbo
Yes, it's a flea market and garden style apartment residence.
John Clay Wolf
It is.
Uncle Norman
A gated community.
Bobbo
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
No, it's. It's. It's like the largest flea market there is.
Uncle Norman
I like it. I like the place.
John Clay Wolf
You've been there for two years.
Uncle Norman
Holy.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, Norman, we're on. We're on FCC airway. You can't say holy. He had to dump you off. No cuss words. Remember that?
Uncle Norman
Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. You didn't tell me English.
DJ Pre K
Well, I told you that's a bad word.
Uncle Norman
That's why he told me first.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, okay.
DJ Pre K
So.
John Clay Wolf
So you live there in an RV. How long have you lived there? 18 months.
Uncle Norman
No, close to a year and a half. Not that.
Bobbo
Don't.
Uncle Norman
The whole two years?
John Clay Wolf
No, not 18 months. A year and a half.
J.D. Ryan
And a half.
John Clay Wolf
I haven't taught you math very well either.
Uncle Norman
Well, you don't have to.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so.
Bobbo
So that's because of the Matrix.
John Clay Wolf
Do you go into the market and walk around on the weekends? Yes, I do. Yeah.
Bobbo
I do do.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
Uncle Norman
I go and I see all the guys now. I know them because they got their own places, you know, for. For a long time.
Bobbo
So.
John Clay Wolf
Have you ever asked them for a discount, for a discount since you've been there so long? No, no.
DJ Pre K
I've got.
John Clay Wolf
I've got some. I know a couple people there.
Uncle Norman
I try to find the, the, the.
John Clay Wolf
The.
Uncle Norman
I try to find the big man in there, but it's kind of hard to find him.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, the irony. That's just too funny. Yeah. All right. I'll just leave it at that. No problem. It's all good. I'm just giving them a bunch of free plugs is all I'm doing.
J.D. Ryan
Right.
Uncle Norman
I like the place. It's clean.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so the reason that you are here today is you called me last week complaining about mechanics.
Uncle Norman
That is correct.
John Clay Wolf
And so Norman runs our whole crew. We. We have, you know, we. We buy and sell. Give me the VIN down here in the Texas, you know, 500 a week down here. 500 a week up on the East Coast. And Norman's running the. Used to work up in PA and now you're down here. But he's having problems with our in house. What are your issues with our in house mechanic? He has to get 500 cars a week ready. The whole crew. But he's the mechanical guy. He's in charge of all the mechanics. What's your problem?
Uncle Norman
Well, my problem is that I'm looking for some kind of mechanics. They don't. Mechanics who, who wants to work? That's what I want if I want to hire somebody. This is totally different than having a mechanic sitting behind a toolbox and turning wrenches. No, this works a little different. This is, this is more volume, more cars. We had to do this like a pitch pit crew, you know what I mean? Like a NASCAR thing.
J.D. Ryan
Kind of like you're people more proactive.
Uncle Norman
Proactive? Yes. I need people who, who, who take initiative and who cares about their jobs. That's what I'm looking for. Somebody who wants to make a career. Not just a job. A job is a job. But when you do, when you do.
John Clay Wolf
A job, what are we looking for? What are we looking for?
Uncle Norman
What are we looking for is what? Young, energetic, professional people.
John Clay Wolf
How do you spell Jung and genogenic?
Uncle Norman
Energetic.
John Clay Wolf
J, U, N J. Yeah.
Uncle Norman
You didn't do a good job, I'm telling you.
J.D. Ryan
Gotta be junk.
John Clay Wolf
Lots of jays in there.
Uncle Norman
I had to get Rosetta stone or something for this. You should have sent them it for Christmas or something.
John Clay Wolf
Rosetta Stone.
Bobbo
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So young, energetic, young. So you don't want old and lazy.
Uncle Norman
No, no, I don't need no old I Lacey. I don't need people telling me how to do my own thing. Even though I need some people who follow. Be a follower and then you can be a leader. If you a good follower becomes a good leader.
John Clay Wolf
So what's this pay pay?
Uncle Norman
It so depends. The pay. The pay is going to be depends on all the qualifications you have. Come and show me what you can do and I will pay you like a man. If you're a man that you got your own tools, that means a lot to me too because you can tell me that you're a mechanic. If you don't got no tools, man, you're not a mechanic.
Bobbo
Okay?
John Clay Wolf
And so just go to jobs. Givemetheven.com jobs that give me the. This is. Remember people, this is for Dallas, Texas. Yes, Dallas, Texas. If you have I'll get all these emails in the jobs bucket from Houston and Louisiana and D.C. and Vegas. That's great. But you're going to be moving to Dallas, Texas to do this job.
Uncle Norman
Yes. I am a cool guy though, guys. If you apply with being I, what's not cool.
John Clay Wolf
Is the heat in Texas.
Uncle Norman
That is. That's. That's.
John Clay Wolf
And we're in the middle of it.
J.D. Ryan
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
So are these guys working in the sun or working in the shade?
Uncle Norman
You have to work at any kind of conditions. This is the way it goes.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, but we do have shade. We have those big. Absolutely. Yes, yes.
Uncle Norman
She.
Bobbo
Yes.
Uncle Norman
But like I'm telling you, this is.
John Clay Wolf
Like a p. What do you need? Tell me about. Tell me about who you're looking to hire. I mean, do you want a kid that. Do you need a helper or do you need a guy that can diagnose or do you need a wrench? Turner, what do you need?
Uncle Norman
Okay, let's put it this way. There is three classifications for a mechanic. A, B and C. I'm looking for C and B at this moment. You will became an A if you just stick around with me for a little while.
J.D. Ryan
What is the B and C. What is a B?
Uncle Norman
Well, they C. It is the guy who do tires, the one who keep up with the batteries. That's the C. Okay. The B is the one who can do a timing chain. You put them in there and it can diagnose the vehicle properly without having any, you know, having anybody looking over your shoulder. Just put it that way.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And you're looking to hire some of these people. How many? One or two.
Bobbo
Oh, two.
Uncle Norman
Minimum. Minimum two.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Okay. Jobs@givemetheven.com Uncle Norman will be your boss. Just tell me this, do you like. Do you have a preference of black, white, Latino or other?
Uncle Norman
No, no, no, no, no, no. It is in every race there is always a good. A good people out there, a bigger mechanic. You have to be. Have some common sense. Anybody who has common sense can do this job.
John Clay Wolf
So if you were to pick a race that you preferred the most, what would that be?
Bobbo
He's not a hater.
John Clay Wolf
He's a Texan.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Bobbo
I'm gonna tell you the truth.
Uncle Norman
Hey, any Hispanic Latino, they are Mexican. Preferable if he's Mexican. Because if he a Mexican come from Mexico down here, he doesn't come up here just to play around. He comes here with a. With a mission. He wants to make money where you want to make money. My friend come to give me the bean and you got a. A good avenue new source that you can make good revenue.
John Clay Wolf
So you think Mexicans are better mechanics than.
Uncle Norman
I didn't say that. I didn't. What I say that. What I say was a Mexican work hard.
John Clay Wolf
Ah, okay. Okay, now what about like 5565 year old white men.
Uncle Norman
Those kind of those, those. They are most retired. They are very. How you going to put it? They are skillful but they are used.
John Clay Wolf
To, to do things, talk to everyone like you talk to me without cuss words. Just say it.
Uncle Norman
I need people who wants to work. They don't have a chip in the show shoulders. I want somebody who wants to work. That's all I want in reality.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but you always wind up bitching about the older guys that are experienced. You said they don't want to work.
Uncle Norman
Other guys got their own, their own mind and they're hard to teach new tricks. It's hard to teach an old dog.
John Clay Wolf
So this is a high speed, high paced deal.
Uncle Norman
Exactly.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, I got you. We're not pulling and it's not heavy line work. All right. Well, there you go from uncle Norm. Now we know that. We'll be back in just a minute. Steve in Sanger, Texas. Are you there, Steve?

Uncle Norman
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Is there a Difference between the. The Puerto Rico. Are the Puerto Ricans in pa. The Mexicans of Texas.
Uncle Norman
Yeah, yeah, exactly. We stay.
John Clay Wolf
Is it that simple?
Uncle Norman
It's that simple. We stayed in the East Coast. We never go this way. It's too far, too hot.
Bobbo
I believe.
John Clay Wolf
So you're like Mexican Eskimos.
Uncle Norman
Yeah, the car and I. Yeah, we stayed from New York. We. We get called New Yorkans because we. The first. The first place we go is New York.
John Clay Wolf
And then delete seal blubber.
Uncle Norman
Seal blower. No, no, seal blower.
John Clay Wolf
What, what, what, what? What's an odd thing that Puerto Ricans eat?
Uncle Norman
I think pig feet with garbanos.
J.D. Ryan
Why? With everything else out there to eat big feet.
Uncle Norman
Pig, pig, pig, pig. Is that's the delicacy for us.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Speaking of odd things.
J.D. Ryan
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Deep Cult. Deep off the track cuts. We always do. We started this new bit. Brosetta Stone.
J.D. Ryan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
DJ Pre K, great series. Gives us a word and teaches us a culture word from Brosetta Stone. This new program he, he wrote to teach people hip hop and ghetto slang. Is that a fair assessment?
DJ Pre K
Yeah. Do you want me to play the. The commercial?
John Clay Wolf
For sure.
DJ Pre K
Oh, yeah.
Uncle Norman
Let's see this.
Bobbo
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' Brozetta Stone. The hip hop language learning program.
John Clay Wolf
Before Brozetta Stone, I didn't know my hizzy from my bajizzy. Now bitch be ballin' without sounding whack.
Bobbo
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.
DJ Pre K
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 understand y'.
Satan
All.
DJ Pre K
Better yet, y' all probably couldn't understand me neither. And since y' all my homies holla.
Bobbo
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.
John Clay Wolf
All right, dj. Good morning, Austin.
DJ Pre K
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's cracking? It's your friendly neighborhood slanguistic master. You know what I'm saying?
John Clay Wolf
What is the word of the day, sir?
DJ Pre K
All right, so today's Rosetta Stone word of the day. And I Guess. Y' all can guess what it means. Today's word is thotty, soddy, thoughty, S.
John Clay Wolf
O T t or D D T.
DJ Pre K
H o t T Y, thotty, thought E. Like.
John Clay Wolf
Like a deep. Deep in thought.
Bobbo
Thotty.
John Clay Wolf
It is a little bit different.
DJ Pre K
You know, it comes from the. The base word thought, you know, T H O T is kind of a variation. Another variation might be a satiana.
John Clay Wolf
Is it based on a Latin root word?
DJ Pre K
See, I can't get that deep with you. I.
John Clay Wolf
You know.
DJ Pre K
All I know is we say it in the hood.
John Clay Wolf
In the hood.
Bobbo
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
It's thought. Tea Thought.
DJ Pre K
Can you.
John Clay Wolf
Unfortunately. I think I know. I think I know what it means. Let's go to Uncle Norman first. The Puerto Rican. Do you know?
Uncle Norman
No, I know, but I can't take a guess.
J.D. Ryan
I don't know.
Uncle Norman
It couldn't be one of those things like Kamoto.
Bobbo
Something like that?
J.D. Ryan
I think he's strangely close.
Uncle Norman
Yeah. So I guess. Well, it sounds like all kinds of things that can come in my mind, but that's the first thing I can.
John Clay Wolf
So I was thinking that it was like a thick. The, The T H I C C is is in vogue right now. I saw a meme we. I put up a meme post every Friday. I don't know if you've ever seen it, dj.
DJ Pre K
Oh yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And it's gotten quite popular. It's funny. People enjoy it. But there was one on there saying that Donald Trump says all the thick Latinas get to stay T H I C C C and thought he is a thick hottie.
DJ Pre K
Hey, I like your thinking, man. I like your thinking. You're not exactly on point. But, you know, a thotty can definitely be thick.
John Clay Wolf
Bobbo. Do you have a guess?
Bobbo
I think it's when a guy's, like, being high minded, very reflective, and kind of high on the intellectual scale. He's being very thought.
John Clay Wolf
Deep in thought.
DJ Pre K
Turley, actually, I know. So I can't play this game.
J.D. Ryan
Unfortunately. I looked it up as part of my job, so I know what it means now.
John Clay Wolf
So the only true guesses are Bobbo, Uncle Norman, and myself.
Uncle Norman
I am petty.
John Clay Wolf
Norman thought it was a camel toe.
DJ Pre K
I can give you some cinnamon moose.
John Clay Wolf
Knuckle, as he said.
DJ Pre K
Can you use it, like in a rap or a sentence? Yeah, yeah. I'll give you some synonyms. I'll give you a rhyme for it.
J.D. Ryan
You know.
DJ Pre K
The. The rhyme I got is, I don't want no thoughty. These thoughts be messing with everybody. You know what I'm saying? And some synonyms Include broke down beasy skeezoid and skip Scops and scallywags.
Bobbo
Oh, God. That makes no sense at all.
Uncle Norman
I throw this spiny voice hard.
John Clay Wolf
All right, Brozetta Stone, I'm stumped. If anybody wants to call in, 800-800-723-4.
Bobbo
I need help.
John Clay Wolf
800, 800 radio. I don't think it's Moose Knuckle. No.
DJ Pre K
That'S not a thoughty.
John Clay Wolf
Mommy. What's up? If you'd like to see a photo of Uncle Norman and J.D. we posted one on the John Clay Wolf Show Facebook page a minute ago. And you will, you will. He is Uncle Norman today is in all of his Puerto Rican glory with his absolutely large gold chain, you know, bad shades. Like what, what? Who's the rapper right now that's so popular? Where's the bad shades? I don't know.
DJ Pre K
There's. There's a ton of them out there.
John Clay Wolf
The guy that beat Michael Jackson the other day.
DJ Pre K
Day.
Uncle Norman
It doesn't take too much to that beat.
J.D. Ryan
That's why he died.
Uncle Norman
He was beaten and Beat it. Beat it and he died.
John Clay Wolf
No, what's the guy's name that's so popular? From Grapevine?
DJ Pre K
You talking about Post Malone?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, he's got those bad shades.
DJ Pre K
Oh, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Uncle Norman's got the bad shades. The gold chain, the Hawaiian shirt. And it's buttoned. It's. But right above his belly button is where the.
Uncle Norman
Showing my beer belly even though I don't drink beer.
Bobbo
Gucci shoes. I mean, he bitches about the weather, but he shines in the summertime. Absolutely.
John Clay Wolf
Lawton, Oklahoma. What is a Saudi.
Caller/Guest
Ah, that hoe over there.
John Clay Wolf
What, what, what? You there. Lawton, Oklahoma, you're on the line. Yes, sir. What is a thoughty now, Joe, Joanna, good morning.
Caller/Guest
Good morning.
John Clay Wolf
You're on the air. What is a thoughty?
Caller/Guest
It's like a skanky groupie girl type.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, like give me an example.
Caller/Guest
And I only know that. But like, I don't know, one of those girls that really don't mean that. And they just kind of use them up and go on.
John Clay Wolf
And you know what's funny is.
Caller/Guest
And I only know that because I have a 21. 20. Well, 23 year old son who talks like that.
John Clay Wolf
Is he. Is he ghetto? Does he have ghetto slang? Is he kind of like DJ Pre K? Is he half white, half black?
Caller/Guest
No, no, he's actually quarter Mexican, 3/4 white.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. What's ironic is we have 20 phone lines in the studio and I'm looking and it's all banked out. And two thirds of the Collins right now are from the state of Oklahoma.
Bobbo
So thought he's a big up there.
Caller/Guest
I'm not one, but unfortunately there's a lot of thoughties there.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Because you're. You're from home. Thank you, Joanne.
Bobbo
I was close.
John Clay Wolf
I'm glad to know that you tune into us. I'm glad to know you tune into us on Saturday mornings because the program directors say that we women. Women don't like us.
Caller/Guest
Oh, I love you guys. I am not offended. I am not but hurt either.
John Clay Wolf
But there you go. There you go. Wow. Here. Here's a. Lawton, Oklahoma. Did you catch all that?
Bobbo
He's listening to the radio.
John Clay Wolf
He's having a problem with his T mobile.
Bobbo
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Dallas, Texas, good morning. You're on the air.
Caller/Guest
Hi. Is it me?
John Clay Wolf
Hi. It's you.
Caller/Guest
Hi.
John Clay Wolf
What's a thon?
Caller/Guest
I wasn't sure.
Bobbo
So.
Caller/Guest
Thought so. It is derived from thought, which is an acronym, actually, for that hoe over there.
John Clay Wolf
That hoe over there. Yeah. That makes sense.
DJ Pre K
Ironically, all the chicks know this too.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Is this. Is this your first time to listen to us or have you heard us before?
Caller/Guest
No, I actually. I drive to work every Saturday and I love listening to y'. All. And I know that's kind of like a weird thing, but I like hearing all the cars that are folded and I like young banter.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Caller/Guest
But it's my first time calling in.
John Clay Wolf
But. So there's another female. We have two females that actually listen to us. Program directors. Did you hear this? There's two of them out there that have committed and admitted publicly that they listen to us. Thank you. And you're not. You're not a thoughty. You're a real one to us. That's right. If you're a female and you like us, let's just bomb the program directors right now.
DJ Pre K
Say we ain't no thoughty.
John Clay Wolf
800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. My name is John Clay Wolf will be back in just a second.
Broadcasting live from the Wolf Radio studios, it's time for the John Clay wolf show.
The U.S. women's soccer team defeated the team from the Netherlands to win the World Cup.
Hit him up now. 800, 800 radio. 800, 800 radio.
Yeah. And despite the loss, the Netherlands team still celebrated because they have health care.
So now, John Clay Wolf.
This is a good song. Did I pick it or you pick it?
Bobbo
Ah, we. We pick them together. Let's just take a pause to enjoy Dwayne and Greg doing their thing in the good old days.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, Bob, we have a lot of ladies on hold.
Bobbo
I don't doubt that. I've been telling you guys, man.
John Clay Wolf
Well, they. So the program directors are lying to me about our female audience.
Bobbo
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
They don't like Denise. Why do the program directors lie to us about the female audience? You there? Yeah.
Caller/Guest
Hey.
John Clay Wolf
Hey.
Caller/Guest
I have no idea.
John Clay Wolf
They say we don't have any women listeners.
Caller/Guest
No, I listen to you guys, you know, almost every Saturday. You guys are pretty funny.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you. Sasha, good morning. You're on the air.
Caller/Guest
Hey, good morning, y'.
John Clay Wolf
All. Hey.
Bobbo
Hey. Hi.
John Clay Wolf
Hi. What you got, doll?
Caller/Guest
I don't know who's lying to y' all over there, but, I mean, I'm a female, and I find an excuse to listen to y' all and get in my car 94. 5. And, I mean, you're funny. Y' all one of the realest people on the radio.
John Clay Wolf
There you go. There you go. Are you white, black, Latino or other?
Caller/Guest
No, I'm Hispanic, so I'm Latina.
John Clay Wolf
There you go. See? And they. They said that all we have is a bunch of angry, angry old white man. Angry old white men. They're wrong.
J.D. Ryan
So maybe they're not in touch with their audience.
Caller/Guest
The Thotty situation. I mean, it was just funny because I'm from Houston, so that word gets thrown around every now and then. But who makes up these words?
John Clay Wolf
I don't know.
DJ Pre K
Rosetta Stone.
John Clay Wolf
Rosetta Stone. Casey, good morning. You're on the air.

Caller/Guest

John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Load it up into givemetheven.com. let's buy it.
Bobbo
Okay.
Caller/Guest
I loaded it up and then I got. I got an email back from Domingo and I guess he wants you want me to do some photos or what?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you can't marry a girl without seeing her, can you? I mean, unless she's Russian.
Bobbo
No.
John Clay Wolf
All right. I mean, I know you married that Russian girl, Svetlana.
J.D. Ryan
As soon as.
John Clay Wolf
Between you and Svetlana.
J.D. Ryan
As soon as we had Tropical storm Barry on the radio, apparently got full of himself. He is now a hurricane, category one.
John Clay Wolf
I thought it's already made landfall.
J.D. Ryan
No, about two hours.
Bobbo
So what is he now, Duchess Barry, Strip club dj.
Caller/Guest
Hey, John, just calling, give y' all update. What's going on down here with old Barry?
John Clay Wolf
Okay, what's going on? Strip club DJs our own man on the ground in Lafayette.
Uncle Norman
All right, all right.
John Clay Wolf
What's going on with Hurricane Barry now? It's hurricane.
Caller/Guest
Yes, well, right now it's quiet now. Not definitely no stripping. Everything's closed. Where everybody's under curfews. Can't go out and drink, so we had to stock up on our beer yesterday.
Satan
Oh.
Caller/Guest
But, yeah, like J.D. just said, it just made hurricane strength. It's still about two hours before Making landfall. It's doing the Texas two step out there in the Gulf, but it's coming in. A lot of people right now are thinking this is no big deal because it's just over class overcast and a little breezy, but in about two hours, it's going to get crazy down here. They're calling for 15 to 18 inches of rain. This is not. This is far from over. We're looking at rain till Monday.
John Clay Wolf
Monday. Good news.
Caller/Guest
Some of the stores are still open, so if you already ate all your hurricane snacks, you can make a run to Dollar General real quick before the storm hits. Yeah, 64,000 people across the state without power right now.
John Clay Wolf
Are the. Are the interstates backed up of people evacuating?
Caller/Guest
Some cities have mandatory evacuation, some are doing voluntary. But most people down here are just going to hunk up, down and waited out. But what they're not realizing is we're expecting feet of rain.
John Clay Wolf
And what I remember from last time is anybody in Houston, Dallas, where all the big hotels are, if you have hotel ambitions this evening, you better not take them, because all of the evacuees will be filling up every hotel between Austin and Oklahoma City.
Bobbo
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Remember Katrina?
Bobbo
I mean, one thing.
John Clay Wolf
Do what?
Caller/Guest
Well, one thing they're doing down here. Airbnb has opened a safe home program where if you have your house listed on Airbnb, you can take evacuees in, but no, no additional charges.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, cool. Thank you. Strip 8008-0072-3480-0800, radar. Nancy, good morning. You're on the air.
Caller/Guest
Good morning. I just want you to know that I'm one of the old girls that's listed listening to you. I grew up in the 40s and 50s, and I like your show. And I also have a master's degree. So I'm not just a dumb person that listens. I'm an intelligent person that listens. And I love cars just like guys do. I'm not a guy. I'm a girl.
Bobbo
Oh, my God.
John Clay Wolf
And that's funny that you said you have a master's degree. I had this conversation with someone the other day, and we do a lot of under. Under the. Under the cuff smart humor that many people miss.
J.D. Ryan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
But, you know, there's a group of people that. And that's what she's like. And that's. That's because of you, J.D. robbie. You're the dumbass of the show. So he tees up the balls, and then Babo and I chop them apart.
Bobbo
There we go.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, Nancy. Oh, that's funny. I'm just kidding. Another mail carrier, Sean, in Fort Worth. Cool. All right, so you went to. Norm, can you knock that air down in the studio? It's kind of. It's kind of hot in here. You're a. You're a technician. You know how to do all that. So your trip to Port Aransas was no good. Was it good until the dog?
J.D. Ryan
Yes, it was actually very beautiful. The beaches are very nice. It was a really. The water is beautiful. It was blue.
John Clay Wolf
The water.
J.D. Ryan
The water near Port Aransas, hard to believe.
John Clay Wolf
Wasn't oily.
J.D. Ryan
Nope, not at all. There's a little bit of seaweed, but there always is on the Texas Gulf Coast. But the beaches were beautiful. They were packed with people. Packed, packed, packed, packed, huh?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, no, Tur. You're getting me in the mode.
J.D. Ryan
We all. Well, Turley went to Hawaii. You went to Key West. Mine just went to Port Aransas.
DJ Pre K
This is the nicest beach in Texas, I would say.
J.D. Ryan
Well, probably part of the best beach town in Texas.
John Clay Wolf
So are you going to move there? Seriously?
J.D. Ryan
Probably not, no.
John Clay Wolf
Why?
J.D. Ryan
Because I have a.
Bobbo
He doesn't have to. He goes five times a year. A bunch of high, brown son of a. I work with man.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, you were in San Diego the other day. Yeah, yeah. Don't tell. It doesn't matter why you were there. You were there. You go to. You go to Muscle Shoals, you travel. Don't start feeling sorry for yourself just yet.
Bobbo
I don't. I don't cruise the Keys in a yacht, you know, I wasn't in Hawaii for two weeks.
DJ Pre K
It was Maui.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, it's still Hawaii.
John Clay Wolf
Bob, if I go back, cruise the Keys in the yacht, would you like me to take you with me?
J.D. Ryan
Yes. Oh, that would be such radio gold. Please, dear God, let me go. Let me go. Just to record it.
Bobbo
Tell me this, though, John. I know you haven't been around the Caribbean a lot like, I. I consider the Keys the Caribbean because basically, lifestyle. Right. It's hard to come back from that, isn't it?
John Clay Wolf
It's. It's. It's very hard.
Bobbo
And just crawl back into your regular life.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I was pretty happy down there. Happy down there.
Uncle Norman
Me too. You picked me up because I was happy as hell.
DJ Pre K
Wait a minute. Are we gonna have some new mechanics? Is that what the whole part of the trip was?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, we're gonna go. We're gonna take the boat and go to Cuba and get some mechanics. And then Trump shut the border down.
Uncle Norman
Yeah, you have to give it to the Cubans. They make their first hybrid Chevy Hybrid. They put them in a couple 50 gallon drums and crossed cross the channel with that thing. Hybrid chevy hybrid from 1950s.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. I listened to this album a lot over the past five days. Was it Thursday through Tuesday? I've never been to the Keys. It's, it's. It was great. It was great. I don't even know where to start. We went fishing. We went diving. We were snorkeling. I blew my ear out though.
J.D. Ryan
What doing well. Diving.
Bobbo
Scuba diving.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
It's the first 20ft that's hard, right?
J.D. Ryan
That's, that's it.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's.
J.D. Ryan
And that's where people think you're close enough to the surface. I can shoot up. You cannot.
John Clay Wolf
It wasn't shooting up. I was smart enough not to do that, but it was. I was trying to get my wife to come down.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And she was. Have. She. She just, she has a fear of sharks, which most people should.
J.D. Ryan
Sure. You're in their house.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. And she just couldn't quite commit to getting down there. So we threw a 25 foot line off the back of the boat and it was a heavy one and it went all the way to the, to the floor of the sea. And I was like, this will make you feel better if you have this in your hand. Knowing that you have the boat still.
Satan
Right.
John Clay Wolf
And I just couldn't get her down. So I had to go down and then come up and get her and come down. I went up and down about four times and I blew my ears out.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, I did.
Bobbo
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
But you scuba obviously.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Uncle Norman
With the tanks and all.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it was a blast. The barracudas when they come by and look at you with those damn teeth.
Uncle Norman
That's, that's so say so let's do the cuda.
Bobbo
You know. Best photos that came in though during vacation week 2019 were from Turley. Man. Why, those are the beauty. Just beautiful out there, man.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, it doesn't even look real now.
DJ Pre K
At JD you will have to go one day. You are a connoisseur of the beaches. There's only 80 on Maui, so. Yeah, yeah. You only 80. So. Yeah, it's. It's when God created a place, right. He said, okay, you want mountains? Okay, we got it. You got them 10,000 square, you know, 10,000 elevation. You got it. Beaches, plenty of beaches, jungle. Yeah, we got that too. So I, I was worried about. Yeah, I was worried about being on an island and like, oh, I'm going to be filling clothes. There's so Much to do. You don't feel that way.
John Clay Wolf
Did you bring back any mechanics?
DJ Pre K
I. I did. I did not bring any mechanics back, no.

You know we were talking about the boat trip. Yeah. In key west.
J.D. Ryan
What a beautiful, beautiful.
John Clay Wolf
One thing I learned is the loneliest man. No, the loneliest time in a man's life is when he's filling up a boat.
J.D. Ryan
Filling up a boat.
John Clay Wolf
Nobody's around. Everybody's got to run to the beer store, go do this, go do that. Hey, we got to fill up the boat. Hey, I got. I'll be back in a minute.
J.D. Ryan
I've got things I gotta do. So did you guys actually.
John Clay Wolf
That thing holds 5,000 gallons.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, my lord.
John Clay Wolf
I did not fill it up. No, but, yeah, it's a lot. No, but he was, that, that was our deals. I, I, I, he, he supplied the boat, I supplied the fuel. It was still stupid.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, crazy.
John Clay Wolf
Stupid. Stupid. Good.
J.D. Ryan
Two, two engines.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. 24 cylinders of two engines.
J.D. Ryan
John's going. $$.
John Clay Wolf
No, it was.
J.D. Ryan
What a trip. What a trip.
John Clay Wolf
We didn't go that far off. We didn't burn that much. We didn't burn that much fuel. Really?
J.D. Ryan
How far off did you go from Key. Us Sails.
Bobbo
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, perfect. I was talking to my dad about it and he, he reminded me he had the sailboat when we were kids. When he was single, he had a JD Sailboat, you know, a girl trap.
J.D. Ryan
Girl trap.
John Clay Wolf
And he, on the cups, when he had, you know the Styrofoam cups you.
J.D. Ryan
Have with your boat name on them?
John Clay Wolf
His said Frank and Blank.
J.D. Ryan
Very nice, very nice.
John Clay Wolf
So you had a Sharpie, you'd fill in the girl's name of who?
J.D. Ryan
Here, baby, I have a car, a cup.
John Clay Wolf
I already had cups made for us.
J.D. Ryan
That's good.
John Clay Wolf
He said when he got, when he got married, she immediately destroyed the cups.
J.D. Ryan
Great idea. What a great idea.
John Clay Wolf
Frank and Blank. Bobbo, tell me about you in Florida. You were telling me about you in Florida.
Bobbo
I had a serious deal about Florida when I came back from the Bahamas, like in 1988, when I was 18. Went to Nassau for senior trip. And I was so enamored with that whole Buffett lifestyle, man. And I called the phone company. This is true. And I ordered the yellow pages, a phone book from Key West, Florida.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Bobbo
Found all the radio stations, called them, sent him my headshot and an air check and actually got an offer from a fellow. I don't know if he's still out there in the world anywhere. Buddy O' Heather at Whale 99, Key West, Florida.
John Clay Wolf
Whale 99, that's what we listen to.
Bobbo
Yeah, you hear it all the way across the bay to Naples.
John Clay Wolf
Yep.
Bobbo
You know, powerful. I mean, it's the Key west rock station.
J.D. Ryan
Why are you here?
Bobbo
Well, my grandfather talked me out of it.
DJ Pre K
Really?
J.D. Ryan
Why?
Bobbo
If you go out there, son, we'll never see you again.
J.D. Ryan
You'll be gay.
John Clay Wolf
There's a lot of gay buddies. Think you would have turned gay? You to go in there?
J.D. Ryan
Nah.
Bobbo
I mean, you don't turn gay.
John Clay Wolf
Maybe just a little bit. I'm pretty sure.
Bobbo
I mean, listen, I've been around my fair share of homosexuals.
J.D. Ryan
At least you see a lot of the lifestyles.
Bobbo
They were all born that way.
J.D. Ryan
No, really, we all on the ship.
John Clay Wolf
Well, hang on, Bobo. JD's wanting to and interrupt you.
Bobbo
Oh, okay. Tell me about you in Florida, jd.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, not me in Florida. I was asking about John in Florida. Okay.
Bobbo
It's my story. So.
J.D. Ryan
So let me ask you, Baba, did you enjoy the gay lifestyle?
Bobbo
I don't know. Did you?
J.D. Ryan
I never went there.
John Clay Wolf
The longest time in a man's life is when he's filling up a boat, looking for a lover.
J.D. Ryan
Looking for a lover. I saw. I remember a lot of chickens and I remember a lot of gay people.
John Clay Wolf
You know what?
Bobbo
And cats with six toes.
J.D. Ryan
Cats with six toes.
John Clay Wolf
One thing that was funny though is we were at this bar and with our backs to the bay and you'd watch the people bringing in their boats to try to tie up. And then across from us was the parking lot or the street, and to sit there and watch drunks try to parallel park. That is entertaining as hell. It really, really is. It's almost like sitting at the bottom of ski hill at the bottom of a black and watching people crash out. But watching drunk's parallel park is very. I, you know, if I was there with friends, we would have had like signs, like a diving contest.
Bobbo
Oh, I gotta go someday, man. It's just legendary though. I mean, Captain Tony's, you know, Hemingway's house, all, all that stuff.
J.D. Ryan
Sloppy Joe.
Bobbo
Key west to me is like. A lot of people see Tombstone. It's just legendary, man. That whole Buffett smuggler lifestyle. It's probably not even like that anymore.
John Clay Wolf
That's so funny about the Yellow Pages because when I went to Padre at spring break in high school, I grabbed the phone book and brought it home with me. And I, I had the same kind of plans. I was like, I could do a jet ski rental because I was all into jet skis. Something down there. I wanted to go down there and stay for a while.
Bobbo
They were going to pay me, I think 625amonth and put me in a hotel because you can't buy or rent houses there. It's a, it's a total tourist economy.
John Clay Wolf
Right?
Bobbo
Is what he said. But we've got a lot of trades with hotels. We'll put you in a hotel. It'll be cool. I should have done it.
John Clay Wolf
You should have done it.
Bobbo
Should have done it.
John Clay Wolf
Well, in other news, remember our Bart Rager bit that I was screaming about? Yeah, not a bit. The story.
Bobbo
Do we need to refresh on that a bit?
John Clay Wolf
The car dealer in Lubbock, Texas, that has gone down as the largest floor plan and lending fraud in history. I believe.
Bobbo
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
In the small town Lubbock, Texas. I mean the. The news on this. This guy is such a psychopath he won't quit. He's hired a publicist and now he's running these campaigns. It's really. It's like watching drunks parallel park. So what he's decided now is he's announced his next move. Besides suing Ford Motor Credit for screwing up his business. You know that they. He owed them $100 million. His partner wrote a check, I believe for $50 million. Just get out of it. 50 million. But the other guy doesn't have it. And he's gonna sue his way out of it. But he's going to start a sports handicapping business and start a ministry.
J.D. Ryan
Ministry.
Bobbo
A ministry.
John Clay Wolf
A ministry. Bart Rager, the criminal. Clearly it seems like alleged. Alleged is going to get into the ministry. And his promo video this week started with a church that didn't get a title to their car. And he made good on it and then had this, this African American preacher preaching about how great Bart Rager is and how Jesus has come and touched his life.
DJ Pre K
Reverend Charles is here. He's going to talk about him, actually.
John Clay Wolf
Reverend Charles, what do you think about the. The ex used car dealer that pulled off the largest wholesale fraud in US history? That's going to come into your space now. And he wants to control the clergy.
Bobbo
Brothers and sisters. There is no doubt that many heinous individual has rehabilitated himself through the love of Jesus. Praise God.
J.D. Ryan
Do you think that's what's going on? Rehabilitation? God has come into his heart.
Bobbo
There's a horrible, horrible individual years ago back in Maine, Hieronymus Bosch, who was terrible, used to kill kittens, women's chickens too. And they put him in jail forever over in France.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Bobbo
And painted some of the most beautiful portraits. These poultry would make a grown man cry because of the love of Jesus he found in penitentiary. You know, many a preacher had come from a background where he used to chase him to little. Little, little salty girl and find his way into the righteous light. The light of the Lord. But Mark Yeager do not qualify for that kind of redemption at this time. And I know this for show because Ford Motor Company come and took my cousin Roy.
Uncle Norman
Amen.
Bobbo
Escape away. Because he made his payment, right? He maintained his insurance comprehensive now. And they come take escape away. You know why? You know why?
J.D. Ryan
Why?
Bobbo
Can I get an Amen for why?
Uncle Norman
Amen.
Bobbo
Because Bar Yeager didn't send his money to Henry Ford. And the forward peoples praise their Name. And they come and took the escape away.
Caller/Guest
And.
Bobbo
And Ms. Mona Lee play the organ down at the church, right? Ain't coming this week. You know why?
John Clay Wolf
Why?
Bobbo
Because Ford Motor Company come and took her expedition.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, no.
Bobbo
Yes, they did. Yes, they did. You know why? Even though Ms. Mo Lee paid her payments right to the HSBC, maintained her insurance coverage through State Farm Auto Insurance. Amen. Praise God. Comprehensive, mind you good neighbors. Ford Motor Company didn't get that money. Know where that money went?
J.D. Ryan
Where'd it go?
Bobbo
Bart Jaeger bought a boat staying off the coast.
Caller/Guest
A Cobble wabble.
John Clay Wolf
We tied up to him last weekend.
Bobbo
You can't be a preacher unless you write with God.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of, Reverend Charles, we're wrong with the clock. Can you take us out?
Bobbo
Don't nobody do nothing or touch anybody in half. And we be back with more John Clay Wolf next.

Broadcasting live from the Wolf radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf show.
Charlie, when you run enough problem son, you just need to improvise like a mug, man.
Hit him up now. 800, 800 radio.
God, you people.
J.D. Ryan
You know what I mean by you people?
John Clay Wolf
Now, John Clay Wolf.
We haven't done much cars today, have we not? We've just had too much to talk about.
Bobbo
There is a lot to talk about. There's a whole lot done these days. Our friends out in Louisiana, man, I feel for you guys.
John Clay Wolf
8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Is Ivana, Ivanka and Ivana is Ivana Trump. Is Ivana Trump Jewish?
J.D. Ryan
Don't have a clue.
Bobbo
You know, it's just like I tell my kids now, there's no sense in sitting around wondering stuff like that. Like that information's out there. JD's looking it up for you.
John Clay Wolf
I'm reading some notes and I came across that we were talking about that and I did not realize, I mean, Ivanka Ivanka. Ivana is. Because she married a Jewish guy that Jared got.
Bobbo
Ivanka did.
John Clay Wolf
Ivanka did. But is her mother Jewish?
Bobbo
Ivana?
John Clay Wolf
I don't know.
Bobbo
I mean, with a name like Ivana.
John Clay Wolf
I just thought she was Russian.
J.D. Ryan
Ivana. She is the first Jewish member of the first family. Very good. She's the daughter of President Donald Trump. Of model Ivana. That. That's who you're asking about?
John Clay Wolf
Ivanka. Mama. Ivanka.
Bobbo
No, Ivana's the mama.
John Clay Wolf
Ivana's the mama? Yeah.
Bobbo
Ivanka's the daughter.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Hell, I don't know.
J.D. Ryan
Who's on first?
John Clay Wolf
I don't know. I don't know.
Bobbo
So it is she. I've always felt that. I mean, that.
J.D. Ryan
Which one?
Bobbo
President Trump seems to be a little bit Jew centric. I mean, no, he, like.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, it's, it's. He lives in South Florida. Yeah, that's Israel on the map. It says Israel.
Bobbo
Right? I wasn't thinking of that. But you're right. You know, Rosie o' Donnell said some horrible things about Ivanka this week. Did you guys catch that?
John Clay Wolf
No.
Bobbo
I have audio of it. You don't have to listen to it. But she really is not a fan of Rosie.
John Clay Wolf
And Rosie and Donald's battles are funny to me during.
Bobbo
Oh, that's right. They had that feud a couple years.
John Clay Wolf
Ago and Rosie and Howard Stern did, too.
Bobbo
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
She's a real volatile person.
Bobbo
Yeah. You know, you take her, leave her. My, My older sister surprisingly used to think she was so cute when she had her little talk show. And she's one of those. I can't stand. I flipped the channel immediately, personally. Not because of what she says. I just, you know, she's a turn off for me.
John Clay Wolf
Do you have the audio turtles here? I think she's like, you know, a talentless, non intelligent, non powerful woman. And. And I think she's. It's laughable to think of her in any kind of public service role. No one in his family has ever been in public service. Why should they start now at the G20 with him? He brought her to every meeting. Talk a little bit about Ivanka Trump and what Donald Trump is doing with her. I don't know what he's doing with her. Nuts. I think he's doing political. Well, I mean, he's doing things with her for a very long time. Oh, my God. There's a creepy incest feel that is very prevalent amongst Donald Trump and his daughter.
Bobbo
Yeah, see, that's one of those jabs that the ultra left will use. And, you know, the ultra right is no better, John. I mean, it's just people gotta start talking these days. J.D. and I could potentially have had a row earlier this week.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, yeah, I saw y' all bitching on Facebook. What was that all about?
Bobbo
I thought it was very civil. I thought it was very civil.
J.D. Ryan
It was very simple all the way through.
Bobbo
J.D.
J.D. Ryan
And I was wrong.
Bobbo
Published a picture of high waters in New Orleans and said, this is what happens when I forget what the first thing was.
John Clay Wolf
You know, let's hear it.
Bobbo
Because Democrats are running the government there. This is what happens.
John Clay Wolf
So we'll start over.
Bobbo
That's literally what he.
John Clay Wolf
Start over. JD posted a picture of high water in New Orleans. It's happening right now. And JD wrote, this is what happens when Democrats are in charge.
Bobbo
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Wow. JD generally.
Bobbo
Now, listen, JD's had a high tension week.
J.D. Ryan
No excuse. I'm not apologizing. I'm apologizing for it. There's no excuse.
Bobbo
I'll make excuses for you. And I just logged on and said, what do Democrats have to do?
John Clay Wolf
Sad. He just dropped his hand.
Bobbo
No, I'm just torrential high waters and. And all. And many of JD's friends who are also, you know, who are probably more right wing not than he is, jumped in and helped him out. And I responded, thank you for enlightening me on your views.
John Clay Wolf
What were the responses?
Bobbo
They were just, you know, you take. Okay, the shortened form of Democrats is Dems. And so one genius called them dumbs, which is just so clever.
John Clay Wolf
Right?
Bobbo
Dumbs don't know how to plan for nothing. And they're dumbs, and I don't like them. Shut up, Bobbo. Basically, right?
John Clay Wolf
Is that Keith Fallen?
Bobbo
No, basically. But, you know, just all that stuff just piling on. One guy said something really clever, and then he showed a picture of Walter White dropping a mic.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, okay.
Bobbo
Like, he posted something.
J.D. Ryan
He.
Bobbo
That was very clever. And then he posted a picture of Walter White dropping the mic. Like, look what I said, drop the mic.
John Clay Wolf
Did Connie get in on all this? Because she's pretty hardcore right wing. Our Hispanic general, Our Hispanic office manager. Manager.
Bobbo
She didn't. And I'm so glad that she did.
John Clay Wolf
She gets pretty. She. She's pretty.
Bobbo
Oh, man.
John Clay Wolf
Board. I mean, she's so right wing. She's mad at her parents for immigrating from Mexico.
J.D. Ryan
She really is your drop of the week.
Bobbo
She's far right wing. But. But, you know, J.D. wasn't uncivil about it. And he probably.
John Clay Wolf
He probably like Clayton Bigsby. He probably thought it was funny.
Bobbo
But that's what I'm saying about ultra left and ultra right. You take something like high waters in New Orleans and you know there's a tropical storm on the way, and you say, there you go, Democrats. Well, that's blatantly. No, that's blatantly partisan, and it's not helping anybody.
J.D. Ryan
And I took it down and I apologize.
Bobbo
Let's. Let's get together and talk about how we're different.
J.D. Ryan
You're right, man.
Bobbo
You know, and I. And I've tried very hard to become less angry and less.
J.D. Ryan
And you've done a good job, I might say. You really have.
Bobbo
I tried very hard.
John Clay Wolf
You actually. Have you chilled out a bit.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
You still get mad when listeners post negative things about you in any light that might even be able to be construed negative, you still throw a fit. It's very. It's. It's very odd. Hurts his feeling.
Bobbo
And I wouldn't be that way, except the people. And this is 100% okay. Not 8020, not 90 10. The people who post things like that are. Son of a.
John Clay Wolf
Get you some.
Bobbo
And they can eat. And they shouldn't be allowed a Facebook account in the first damn place. I said good day, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Randy the Chipmunk, are you around?
J.D. Ryan
Saw him earlier.
Caller/Guest
Bobbo's wound up, huh?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Caller/Guest
That's crazy.
J.D. Ryan
Almost.
John Clay Wolf
Are you a Dem or a Republican?
Caller/Guest
Well, you know, I wasn't for the president at first. You know, Duck. He's that weasel with like the president of Dallas Fort Worth, you know, but he hadn't destroyed anything. We got Kojim Kong.
John Clay Wolf

Caller/Guest
Kojim Kong.
John Clay Wolf

John Clay Wolf
Okay. Far east of Texas.

DJ Pre K

Caller/Guest
Yeah, pretty far.
Bobbo
What do you mean small?
DJ Pre K
For us, it's 90 miles.
J.D. Ryan
It's a long way for us.
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Caller/Guest
You know, sort of a. He's out there. We got missiles, spree rockets, you know. So Dump has kept him off the porch thus far. You know, I didn't vote for. For him, but you like everybody lighting up, man. Smoke a joint. God.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of smoking joints, Keith Richards, are you around? I see him right there. He just hang. Get over here. Get over here. Get over here.
J.D. Ryan
Bring him in.
John Clay Wolf
Keith. What. What do you think about all this, John? Yes.
Bobbo
Although I want to be part of anything political.
John Clay Wolf
What did he say?
J.D. Ryan
He doesn't want to be part of anything political.
Bobbo
I don't like to do it like Mick did. That right? Yeah, the song Hang Fire. Yeah, that's all about the workforce, you know, the people's people's party of whatever, you know, like that. Well, Hang Fire.
J.D. Ryan
Hang Fire.
Bobbo
No, it's catchy. It's catchy.
J.D. Ryan
It is.
Bobbo
And I did dance to it many times. At least four times. But a plea all thing like that is so ugly.
John Clay Wolf
How is the Stones tour coming back together after Mick's heart surgery?
Bobbo
We like it.
John Clay Wolf
Are you doing it now? I haven't even looked.
Bobbo
Mick. Mick does the show. All right. He has a dessert after the show. Cantaloupe and cream and goes to bed.
J.D. Ryan
Cantaloupe, cream and goes to bed. Yeah.
Bobbo
And we stay up all night and party like mad bastards without Mick. Mick goes to bed now.
John Clay Wolf
Ah, we like that, Grandpa Mick.
Bobbo
We like that, right? Uncle Mick was always like, get these girls out of here. He tripled up on the girls. Oh, right.
J.D. Ryan
So you'll be in New Orleans tomorrow night?
Bobbo
Yeah, right. We. We think. Yeah, we think. But they built a special stage with a styrofoam bottom.
John Clay Wolf
Strip club DJ and some other.
Uncle Norman
The.
John Clay Wolf
Give me the vin guys are out there putting barrels under the stage right now.
Bobbo
Right. We're gonna.
John Clay Wolf
And sandbagging around the beer carts.
Bobbo
Worst comes to worse, we will float.
J.D. Ryan
You will take us out.
Bobbo
And we'll be back with more John Clay Wolf after this.
John Clay Wolf
Broadcasting live from the Wolf Radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf show.
DJ Pre K
Person left a lot of meat on this.
John Clay Wolf
Hit him up now.
Commercial Announcer
800.
John Clay Wolf
800 radio.
Got a lot of innuendo in it now.
John Clay Wolf.
So what's the. Let me grab this call real quick. Brandon, you've been holding for a minute. You have 2,000 range with 33,000 miles. You there?
Bobbo
Yes, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Not knocking you, but so many times from the state of. The great state of Oklahoma. People don't know that this is a five digit odometer. So they miss the one or the two in front of that 33,000 miles. So like one. Okay, so it's fit. 33,000. Was it your father's, your granddad's or something?
Caller/Guest
My great grandfather's.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so it's original. So how's the paint? Paint's a little rough, so it didn't get set inside. Okay, I hear you golly with those. But when you open the door on it, is it really crisp and nice on the Inside.
Caller/Guest
Absolutely pristine.
John Clay Wolf
So it sounds like a truck that we. We should probably put a paint job on. Is it automatic?
Caller/Guest
No, it's standard.
John Clay Wolf
Is it a four cylinder or six?
J.D. Ryan
Four.
John Clay Wolf
Regular cab or extended cam?
Caller/Guest
Regular.
John Clay Wolf
Two wheel drive or four?
Caller/Guest
Two wheel.
John Clay Wolf
So it's just a little range. Okay. So it's not worth a lot. That paint job is going to cost, you know, fifteen hundred dollars and it won't bring the right money for a 33,000 mile truck with bad paint, with faded paint. So I'm thinking a thousand. Fifteen hundred bucks, Maybe two. That's pretty low. Then add 1500. Add 1500 to that for paint?
Satan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Back in 2000, I was. I was afraid. I was a Ford dealer back in 2000 and we would sell those new for 12,000 bucks. Got it. Thanks. Okay. No offense, but he's from Oklahoma. He's trying, though. He's trying.
J.D. Ryan
Give it a shot.
John Clay Wolf
Do this. Take pictures of it and load it into the website. Let me see how bad. Let me be the judge of the pain on this thing because that's the real wild card. So is in. In. Somebody just sent me a clip of the news for Louisiana.
J.D. Ryan
Hurricane Barry has strengthened slightly, 77 miles an hour. Sustained wind now. So it is a hurricane category one. Let's see. This is just about 20 minutes ago. Storm is moving northwest at 6, so it's kind of slow moving. So when it gets inland, it's going to dump a ton of rain like 24 inches on really just in the. In the Baton Rouge area.
Bobbo
We heard about all the evacuation going on, but we just came out here.
Caller/Guest
To experience the evacuation.
John Clay Wolf
Evacuation.
J.D. Ryan
Evacuation.
Bobbo
Experience the weather.
John Clay Wolf
What?
Bobbo
Yeah, we heard about all the evacuation.
J.D. Ryan
Going on.
Bobbo
Vacation.
J.D. Ryan
Going on.
Bobbo
Vacation.
Caller/Guest
Going on.
DJ Pre K
Is that a news clip?
J.D. Ryan
What?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, this is a gag clip. Oh, now it's showing pictures of people dancing Soul train.
Bobbo
Somebody punched you.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, it's Kyle. Of course.
Bobbo
Typical Kyle.
J.D. Ryan
Well, officials have issued mandatory evacuations in communities along the coast, including the Jefferson and La Florish parishes. So if you're in that area, it's voluntary evacuation.
Bobbo
Stupid care.
John Clay Wolf
Don't pre evacuate.
J.D. Ryan
No, don't.
John Clay Wolf
But it might be a threat. Thing to do is get the hell out of there.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, it's coming.
John Clay Wolf
I hate to pre evacuate.
J.D. Ryan
Get out of town.
John Clay Wolf
But it might be a good idea this time is get on out of there. Evacuate. Evacuate. Evacuations are going on. And the roads are gonna get hung up. But get to higher ground. Stevie Wonder had a song about this exact situation. Yeah. And. And he's singing about how to handle this.
Bobbo
Yeah, he had the right idea Situation.
John Clay Wolf
Right now get up to Baton Rouge and I mean half the New Orleans population already did after Katrina.
Bobbo
He had half the right idea. Players don't keep playing in an evacuation.
John Clay Wolf
Evacuation.
Bobbo
Evacuation.
John Clay Wolf
I think the Red Hot Chili Peppers did a vacuumization. Oh, that's not it.
J.D. Ryan
Get out of town.
John Clay Wolf
8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. God, I hope those damn levies don't give a good again.
Bobbo
How's. How's this going to affect like Beaumont and, and those spots east of Houston.
John Clay Wolf
They can handle it. It's New Orleans is below sea level. They can't handle it.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, they built the city below sea level.
John Clay Wolf
I mean just like that was the first part. Holland. Holland, Holland.
J.D. Ryan
Same deal.
Bobbo
Yeah, Holland.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, Deutschland, whatever it's called.
Bobbo
Holland is below SE level.
John Clay Wolf
They have New Orleans learned from the Levy systems and Holland after her Katrina. And they rebuilt using some of their engineering is my understanding.
Bobbo
Right, but stick your finger in the dike. Right, Right.
J.D. Ryan
That's the old joke.
Bobbo
Okay, Venice, Italy.
John Clay Wolf
What does a large protective dike do? Is it. Is it a.
Bobbo
She wears comfortable shoes and says don't go there.
J.D. Ryan
She used to have a talk show.
John Clay Wolf
Broad shouldered old gal that screams don't go there. In platform shoes. She's about a broad shoulder. Old.
Bobbo
My friend Deanna from around the Beaumont area keeps asking me all the time, sandy the weather girl. Bring back Sandy the weather girl. I don't remember that.
John Clay Wolf
Sandy the weather girl.
J.D. Ryan
Sandy.
DJ Pre K
You talking about Cindy Snapper.
John Clay Wolf
Cindy Snapper was the burnout FM DJ gal.
Bobbo
See, you're good. You're doing a great show this morning, guys. Cindy Snapper, right?
Caller/Guest
Hey, J.D.
Bobbo

Bobbo
Hey, I was gonna tell you. Sorry to hear about your dog. That's a bad. That's a bad, bad, bad. I lost one the other day.
J.D. Ryan
Did you really?
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Bobbo
I bring them to work and they run off.
J.D. Ryan
They run off. I can't imagine why.
Bobbo
We've got a deal, you know, with, with the Humane Society here in Dallas. They're just awesome. They've given me, like, two dogs a week now for years.
John Clay Wolf
You lose them?
Bobbo
Well, I give them away. Yeah, Unintentionally. It's like you sneeze, pest and voluntary. It was dogs, you know, find a new home on the streets of Dallas.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah.
Bobbo
They love it. I'll bet you.
J.D. Ryan
I'll bet you they do.
John Clay Wolf
So, Sydney, have you been into any good concerts lately or hooked up with any old roadies?
Bobbo
Oh, yeah, yeah. Last Saturday, I was. I was with the.

Bobbo
Yeah. I took about 45 minutes.
J.D. Ryan
You're still doing the rounds.
Bobbo
A good time. There's Doobie Brothers. Let's say you're smokers. All right.
John Clay Wolf
Have you ever caught anything that, like, you couldn't shake real easy?
Bobbo
Not really. Not really. Not that I know of. I haven't had, you know, a blood examination in about three months, so. Not yet, right? I'm working on it.
John Clay Wolf
Do you just keep some penicillin around just in case? Do you load up penicillin before you go into the Dewey Brothers or after?
Bobbo
No, I got the thing out of Better Homes and Gardens. This is a good tip for you, jd. You can do this at home, okay?
DJ Pre K
You.
Bobbo
You buy the. You buy the aquarium antibiotics, you know, for your fish. They'll fix a lot of stuff. But I keep. I keep old cheese. Old cheese in, in the refrigerator.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, no.
Bobbo
Until it's all, you know, stable and it's not going to go bad for a long, long time. Then I take it out and put it on top of the refrigerator and make my own penis Hill.
J.D. Ryan
That's brilliant.
Bobbo
Yeah. Hey, listen, that stuff will knock out anything. I've lost a couple of dogs that way. But I feel it's a terrible, terrible thing, you know, to let him go that way.
J.D. Ryan
I like your way better.
Bobbo
But he's. He's looking down on you, you know, and they, you know, the diet's not the same for dogs in heaven. They get all the Cheetos they want.
John Clay Wolf
Do they really?
Caller/Guest
Yes.
J.D. Ryan
Never put on weight.
Bobbo
Damn right. That's where I'm going.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I could say the worst farts that have ever been cut in this studio the past decade came from JD's dog. Of course they did.
J.D. Ryan
No doubt.
Bobbo
He's a good dog. Good doggy.
John Clay Wolf
Rip.

John Clay Wolf
Satan.
J.D. Ryan
Here he is.
Satan
I guess you guys want to know about the weather thing. Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
J.D. Ryan

J.D. Ryan
That's how long it took.
Satan
That pisses me off. What happens is it blows off the Horn of Africa, comes around South America, right off that northeast coast of Brazil.
J.D. Ryan
Pow.
Satan
Tropical storm New Orleans is your home city.
John Clay Wolf
City.
Satan
They do it again. Well, adopted home city. They brought me over there from Africa and. No, no. And I love New Orleans, man. You know, I mean, I worry about it, but once this thing gets started, it's like a rodeo, you know? I mean, you're gonna get your eight seconds or not. I hope they do. You know, it's gonna be all right.
Bobbo
We're.
Satan
We're watching. I mean, I'm trying to bring more high pressure out of the Northeast, but guess what? It's July, and I can't do it. I mean, I just can't pull it.
Bobbo
You can't do it?
John Clay Wolf
No. King of Darkness cannot redirect the hurricane. It's gonna hit your hometown.
Satan
I've had Michael contracted on this thing for the last three, four days. He can't get it done. You know, we're Bringing in Gabriel 4:00pm he's got a shot on. On ESPN. When he's done with that, he's going to come over and try and help us with that deal. I know, and I've talked to all the major. All the major demigods, you know, LeBron, De Niro, Pacino. Nobody can seem to, you know, you can't back it up. You let this thing go, and it gets away from you. You can't back it up.
John Clay Wolf
Where do you want to redirect it? Because you don't want to hit New Orleans. I mean, New Orleans is. Is the devil city. That in Las Vegas, Kansas.
Satan
No. Kansas could use the hurricane.
J.D. Ryan
Sure.
Satan
Well, there's no publicity. There's no. They got no PR at all.
J.D. Ryan
But they have no ocean.
Satan
Do you realize the Chiefs are actually in Missouri? So. Yeah, when you say Kansas City, you know, I mean, I'm talking about real down home, Kansas City. They could. I mean, not a. Not a major hurricane.
J.D. Ryan
Like. I know ocean. They have no gulf.
Satan
They got a surplus of corn.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Satan
For years.
J.D. Ryan
So a corn hurricane.
Satan
Give New Orleans a break, all right? You know, I mean, Nebraska.
J.D. Ryan
Worst comes to worse, a tornado.
Satan
Right. A cornado.
J.D. Ryan
You like that?
Satan
It's gonna be a different kind of Frito.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, Satan. Weather update.
Bobbo
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Awesome, buddy.
Bobbo
That's weird.
J.D. Ryan
That guy is weird.
Bobbo
I get a funny feeling.
John Clay Wolf
It's weird.
Bobbo
Oh, he makes me want to say, no, Daddy, no.
John Clay Wolf
I wonder if people down there are listening to us right now or if everybody's hunkered down.
Bobbo
Kids, we ain't making fun either.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, we're trying to keep your mind off of it. You know what you've got. You know what's going to happen.
DJ Pre K
Usually listen to the radio when you're in a hurricane.
J.D. Ryan
What you got left? Yeah, yeah.
DJ Pre K
Transistor radio. I don't know how many people have transistor radio.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of transistors, we have another.
Bobbo
What?
John Clay Wolf
We have a transvestite that.
J.D. Ryan
Well, that's close to transistor.
John Clay Wolf
Sally used to be Sam. Oh, yeah. He. She. Sally. Good morning. How am I supposed to. Are you he or she?
Bobbo
You can just call me Sally.
John Clay Wolf
Sally. So you work Bourbon Street. You're a bartender down there at the.
Bobbo
Right. I work at.
John Clay Wolf
Way down there.
Bobbo
We're good.
John Clay Wolf
Now, I've heard that you guys party through these hurricanes and these storms, you just keep rocking.
Bobbo
We do. There's. There's city shelter. Everybody goes in the hurricane shelter until it blows away. And then we go to Tennessee.
J.D. Ryan
Why?
Bobbo
There's no hurricane.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, makes sense.
J.D. Ryan
Makes sense.
Bobbo
Yeah. Stupid question, J.P. there are a lot of hillbillies.
John Clay Wolf
I'm serious. I mean, I've heard plenty of stories where they keep the bars open during.
J.D. Ryan
Those crazy hurricane parties. A lot of people die in hurricane.
Bobbo
Hurricane party every time it blows.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So if y' all are having a hurricane party, I'd like to hear about it. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. What time is this thing supposed to hit next? Hour, hour and a half in Vegas. I know you're confused. In California, you are, too. But we're talking to New Orleans right now. Hurricane. I mean, we have plenty of cities that we're affiliated with and this is their day. We're praying for them and hoping everything's okay. What is our station down there? Alt 90 something in the Eagle in Lafayette. And speaking of, we need to give a hat tip to Walton and Johnson. Did you hear that? Was it Steve Walton or John Walton? John Walton passed away last week. He the huge radio king God down there.
Bobbo
Johnson. Yeah, he all of a sudden too. Like, all of a sudden.
John Clay Wolf
Well, he'd had a feeling for a month. He knew he was sick.
Bobbo
Yeah. But, you know, I mean, it's good, it's okay to go out that way. You know, he had everybody around him that he wanted around him that's, you know, better than most of us can expect. Right?
John Clay Wolf
My name is John Clay Wolf. I buy cars in the radio for givemetheven.com and we will be back in a momento port.
Now back to the John Clay wolf show face.
J.D. you were wrong again. How dare you.
Uncle Norman
D.J.
J.D. Ryan
I'M so.
John Clay Wolf
What? My best sometimes isn't good enough?
DJ Pre K
D.J.
John Clay Wolf
Call him toll free. 1-800-800-radio.
Maybe you need to try a little harder. Oh, why, yes, sir.
J.D. Ryan
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
This is the John Clay Wolf Show.
Angry Don Henley, he's so.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, man. Have you ever tried to interview him?
John Clay Wolf
No. You have?
Bobbo
Horrible.
J.D. Ryan
One time in the. The old show.
John Clay Wolf
What did he. What was he just.
J.D. Ryan
He's just awful. What was he coming on about? There was some kind of. It was a charity event. So you thought, okay, he'll be in a good mood. No. And you ask him anything about the Eagles? It's not what we're here to discuss.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, God.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, just like. And the guy was with. Was rather abrupt and he said, okay, I guess we're done then.
Bobbo
Click, done. Henley.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, we. We've got Don here.
Bobbo
He's not angry.
J.D. Ryan
You seem to be. When we talk to you.
Bobbo
He's not indignant.
J.D. Ryan
You seem to be to the fans a little bit.
Bobbo
It's in the words of Jerry Maguire.
J.D. Ryan
I'm a little serious.
Bobbo
Show me the money. Yeah, show me the money. My friend Glenn died so. So that I could have this boat.
J.D. Ryan
I don't think that's why Glenn out.
Bobbo
Here in East Texas where there's no water. And I like it that way. Don Henley, I got it. Likes it that way.
J.D. Ryan
Why are you talking third person?
Bobbo
What do you mean by that?
J.D. Ryan
Nothing.
Bobbo
You have wrote a song.
J.D. Ryan
Not a day. No, I have not written a song.
Bobbo
Can you sing three octaves?
John Clay Wolf
I can't. I Can't come close and play the drums.
Bobbo
You know who does? No. Don Henley.
J.D. Ryan
Okay, you got me, man.
John Clay Wolf
This is one of my favorite songs of the Theirs.
Bobbo
Yeah, dude, I pulled out the catalog. Lately I've been listening to a lot of. This is the on the Border album and the one after it is One of these Nights. And both those two albums are just with Bernie Leon still in the band. They still got just a touch bit of country to them, right?
John Clay Wolf
You know the little Linda Ronstadt, Twain.
Bobbo
Yeah, man, they're good.
John Clay Wolf
They're overplayed, but they're good.
Bobbo
Okay. And that's. And that's all great, right? Nostalgia wise. And then Bernie Leon leaves the group. So you get Joe Walls. And the next album, Hotel California is just 45 minutes of perfection. You know, they have different errors in a body of work. The Eagles really were eclectic as well as the Beatles. What does that say?
J.D. Ryan
Got you. John, can we change subjects for just a moment?
John Clay Wolf
Sure.
J.D. Ryan
How is your house doing? I haven't heard about that since all the vacation.
John Clay Wolf
We're moving.
J.D. Ryan
You're moving into the new house.
John Clay Wolf
Move out by Wednesday. I've sold my old house and my sweet wife is running back and forth because it's not far from the new house, from the old one, 30 minutes away.
J.D. Ryan
So you're moving out of the old one? Into finally.
John Clay Wolf
Piece by piece, step by step. And I sold it to a friend. So I'm going to leave some stuff. Okay, cool, cool. But how's the new house coming? That we've been remodeling for a year and a half.
J.D. Ryan
I know.
John Clay Wolf
I had to fire my builder. Finally. Finally. Finally.
J.D. Ryan
That took you a year and a half.
John Clay Wolf
Finally, finally.
Bobbo
You were very giving in the time frame.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
Uncle Norman
Here we go.
DJ Pre K
What was the straw that finally made you fire him?
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so I gave him, you know, we're over budget time. Ridiculous. Over and over, over money, budget. He's just lies and lies and lies. Like Mr. Haney, I don't know if it's accidental or if it's by design. Don't call him a liar because I want to fight. So I said, okay, if you're not a liar, you're the worst goddamn estimator I've ever met in my life. In the history of the earth. Excuse me, G.D. i didn't mean that.
Bobbo
It's gonna make 19 weeks to take care of this roof for you, Mr. Douglas.
John Clay Wolf
Right, right, right. It's exactly like that, Bobbo.
Bobbo
That's.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, it just hit me me that that that's what I'm dealing with. Well, you know, I mean, everything's got a story with it.
Bobbo
Maybe you'd be interested in the fine far flooring, Mr. Bess.
John Clay Wolf
And my wife is very much like Ja Gavore, darling. She really is.
Bobbo
She actually really is. And you're a little like Oliver Douglas, I think.
John Clay Wolf
And when, When Ja comes to you and said, you need to get rid of this guy, it's.
J.D. Ryan
It's finally time.
John Clay Wolf
Even she'd been saying that for six months. But what finally broke this camel's back? So I gave him a draw, a large draw, the last one. And I said, no more draws until completion. I'm going to pay you on final delivery like we do cars. So you hand me the keys, we go over it, make sure everything's right.
J.D. Ryan
Right.
John Clay Wolf
So that would give me some leverage to make sure the product is finalized.
Bobbo
And he's motivated to do it, right?
John Clay Wolf
Correct.
Bobbo
That should have worked.
J.D. Ryan
What happened?
John Clay Wolf
We got a week after the big draw and he realized that I would have some leverage on him. So he hit me with another forty thousand dollar draw. And I said no, because that was all it was supposed to take to finish. 50 was the final number, right? And he said, oh my gosh, well if we can't do this then I've. The subs will be disappointed. And I was like, well, you've got enough money, you can pay your people, uhhuh. Get them to the finish line. And I told his people what I was doing. Cuz after a year and a half of living with all these Hispanics, you get to know him. And your kids speak pretty good Spanish.
Bobbo
That's a benefit.
John Clay Wolf
So they, they agreed with me. I remember talking to the tile guy, he's like, oh, I wouldn't pay him.
Bobbo
Until you get to the end either side.
John Clay Wolf
So. So he said, well, nobody's going to keep working if you don't do this. And I said, are you threatening me that you're going to take all the subs off this job if I don't pay this draw again? He said, if you want to take it as a threat, that's what it is. And then. Have you ever seen Sling Blade Bobo?
DJ Pre K
Wow.
Bobbo
Of course.
John Clay Wolf
Do you remember when Doyle screamed at everybody, all retards, everybody get out of here, we're done. There ain't no band.
J.D. Ryan
Great scene.
John Clay Wolf
I swept the whole place out, told everybody get the hell out.
Bobbo
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
Nicely. I didn't freak out.
Bobbo
Out.
John Clay Wolf
And he thought I was bluffing.
J.D. Ryan
Nope.
John Clay Wolf
They'd come back. You know, John, I know you're A little upset, but. And I'm like, Dom, you don't understand. I'm done. I mean, I'm so done. We, I've been stranded on this boat for a year and you finally gave me a gangplank to get off of it.
J.D. Ryan
Right.
John Clay Wolf
You gave me a free pass to leave. And right now we're even. Well, actually you, I don't owe you a damn thing.
J.D. Ryan
Right?
John Clay Wolf
So now he's coming back. Back. It's been a month and we're just about finished. I hired other people to do the finish up stuff and he's really wanting, so, so the, the final draw that was supposed to get us to the end, now it's doubled.
J.D. Ryan
Oh really?
John Clay Wolf
How did that happen? I don't know.
J.D. Ryan
I hadn't been there.
John Clay Wolf
Right. How the hell did that happen? So I just said, okay, I, I can't talk to you anymore. I've talked to you in circles for too long. I'm gonna hand this to a lawyer and you could talk to him. I'm not threatening to sue you. You, I'm just telling you, I, I, I'm, I can't have these conversations.
J.D. Ryan
We're not having the same conversation. Right. You're not hearing what I'm saying. And first, vice versa.
DJ Pre K
Right.
John Clay Wolf
So. Well, per our contractors, I'm going to let this guy tell me what this contract says because per our contract, you have oversold and underd. Delivered.
Bobbo
Yeah, over and over. It's a neat place though. You know, we, I, my daughter and I dropped your daughter off a couple like a few weeks ago. It's a neat looking place. Space. I can't imagine you don't have like a little space for Uncle Bobbo in the bag somewhere. You know, a hut or a shack.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, I bet he does.
Bobbo
Shaq might be better.
DJ Pre K
Babo space.
Bobbo
Yeah. Just in case. I mean, you never know when you're gonna need Bob over.
John Clay Wolf
We've been saving for this for 10 years. Yeah, 10 years.
Bobbo
It's a neat, neat place, man.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I mean it's just absolutely, it's really pretty. But, but it, it's gone on, it's just gone on too long and he's getting sloppy at the end, the finish. And that's what I noticed. And that was another reason I'm like, this guy's getting sloppy and, and everybody's getting frustrated, especially me.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And I'm done because we're going to take all this good work and we're going to do, we're going to throw a coat of slop on the top of it.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And it's going to ruin everything. So.
J.D. Ryan
So he's out.
John Clay Wolf
He's out.
Satan
Done.
John Clay Wolf
So the lawyers are dealing with it and I'm sure that that'll be a whole I knowing him.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
This will continue to go on and it will wind up getting a lawsuit filed. I bet. I'll bet you $50 that I have to file a lawsuit on this guy to get just. I don't think he believes me.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, okay.
John Clay Wolf
I don't think he understands.
Bobbo
No.
John Clay Wolf
We had a Delivery contract of June 15th. After June 15th, it was a $5,000 a month fine. I'm sorry, let me straighten up. January. January, January. Oh, January 15th was the promised delivery date. This is July.
J.D. Ryan
July.
Uncle Norman
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And I fired him in mid June. So he owes me $5,000 a month in penalty per our contract that he keeps referring to.
J.D. Ryan
And that's in the contract.
Uncle Norman
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So that's 25 G's. But he's. No, that's just a one time hit. No, it ain't, bud. Oh God. I don't want no more cheese. I just want out of the trash.
Bobbo
Right?
J.D. Ryan
Just let me off the board.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, it's just ridiculous. God darn it.
J.D. Ryan
Sorry. But it's getting done. And you're moving in.
John Clay Wolf
We're already there. We're just moving all our stuff. Yeah, but it's just too bad. But we're not walking in. We're not moving in. Turnkey.
J.D. Ryan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
So we'll. We'll have you know, I'm just. I'm just juicing it myself. Just this guy and that guy and that, that guy and this guy. And they're doing a great. They're doing such a better job. Such a better job. So much faster. Connie's. Connie's uncle, our cousin. I was like, hey, you know any electricians? Like. Yeah, call this guy, he comes in there and knocks out. And one day he worked from 11am to 10:30. One night, 65 year old man knocked out so much.
Bobbo
Got it done.
John Clay Wolf
It would. It would have cost $5,000 and all kinds of stories and in two months where the stories with the other.
Bobbo
Where I come from, we do everything with general contractors, you know, that's just the way to do it.
John Clay Wolf
What do you mean? Where y' all do it yourself? Yeah.
Bobbo
Oh, yeah, Somewhat. I mean, yeah, Get a guy, you know, need electrician. Call a guy.
John Clay Wolf
It's not my fault he didn't check the city code on the balcony.
Bobbo
No, it is not. God, that's.
J.D. Ryan
That's a whole another story.
DJ Pre K
Like you're supposed to think about that.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, he stand back and go, oh, yeah, we got to take that down.
John Clay Wolf
There's a balcony that has a big range radius, and it's a huge balcony. It's. It's an arch.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And they ordered the railing, and it's squares. It looks like Fido's ass.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah. Not good.
John Clay Wolf
No, I mean, it just goes on and on and on. It's just ridiculous. We moved the damn air conditioning units from the backyard in this alleyway so we could get. So we walked through there to the other side of the house.
J.D. Ryan
Perfect.
John Clay Wolf
He moved one of them, and they plumbed for one of them. Now we gotta go and re. Plumb the whole thing for the other one. Why would we move one?
J.D. Ryan
We have more. Why wouldn't you move them all?
John Clay Wolf
I could do this for hours.
Bobbo
Is this guy screwing with you?
John Clay Wolf
I think so.
Bobbo
Huh.
J.D. Ryan
See how much you can take.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. And just drag it out and keep pumping and get you so up to your eyeballs in water that you just drop your head and say, just. Just screw me and get it over. Then I did that. Yeah, To a point. And then that's where the real rape started happening.
Bobbo
But even that's not good enough, though.
John Clay Wolf
No, that wasn't good enough. So rape me and get this over with. But he wouldn't even get it over with. He just kept coming back for more with a great Mr. Haney delivery.
J.D. Ryan
But at some point, the story wears out.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
And he won't be able to keep in business.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, you don't need to keep in business. He's 72 years old now, and he's just about done.
J.D. Ryan
I got you.
John Clay Wolf
This was his grand. Yeah. This was his swan song. This was his final opus. Oh, my God. Why'd you Bring that up, J.D.
J.D. Ryan
I'M sorry.
Bobbo
My bad.
J.D. Ryan
I was gonna talk about either the hurricane or your house, and I thought.
John Clay Wolf
Let me ask you.
J.D. Ryan
The same house.
John Clay Wolf
There's not much difference. Oh, my God Almighty. There's more, too, but I'm not even gonna bring it up. Okay. My name is John Clay Wolf of Bike cars radio for givemetheven.com. we've got one segment left. You'd like to sell your car. We can talk a little bit of cars if it's flooded already. Please don't call me the Vegas. California. California. Yeah, I know y' all are dry. Call in. We'll buy yours. Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas. Not Houston. No, Houston's still dry. They're just wet. They're not flooded yet.
Bobbo
All right.
John Clay Wolf
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back. More of the John Clay Wolf show presented by givemethevin.com coming up.
Commercial Announcer
John Clay Wolf has been buying cars off dealers descriptions for 20 years and buying cars on the radio for 10. Why can he buy yours off a picture off his website, givemethevin.com, because he can. That car you didn't trade in that truck your dad gave you, the family truckster that Aunt Edna died in. If you don't check with gimmetheven.com first, you may need to get your head checked. They're the best buyers on cars, they pay top money and if they don't beat a written carmax offer, they owe you a hundred bucks.
Bobbo
Tell us your car givemethevin.com so easy you can do it in your underwear.
John Clay Wolf
Back to the John Clay Wolf show presented by givemetheven.com can we all guess JT's new dying?
DJ Pre K
All right.
John Clay Wolf
Call it 800800 radio now.
John Clay Wolf JD We've been comedically trying to inform the public on this hurricane stuff. But if we said anything in a lot about this time is when some outlets go down, the Internet goes down down the TV can go down to radio is the only thing they've got. Is there anything like of importance that we can share with anyone?
J.D. Ryan
They need to know we have told them about the. Yeah, it is a, it is a hurricane. It's over 75 miles an hour winds. The barrier is moving into central Louisiana near Marsh island, which is located in Vermilion Bay about 100 miles west of New Orleans. And you're going to get anywhere from 18 to up to 24 inches of rain which is a just a ton of not to mention the storm surge. So you're going to get flooding. You're going to get and it may be in an area right now that's totally dry. So yeah, get to higher grounds and watch the, watch the weather as long as you can. Then listen to the radio.
John Clay Wolf
So your advice is to get the hell out of.
J.D. Ryan
Get the hell out of Dodge.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
J.D. Ryan
If you can anywhere near it. If you're anywhere in the area, move, go somewhere.
John Clay Wolf
They've been through this before. So it's not that I don't know where this works. Yeah. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Turley, I've noticed that our customer we're talking business for a second while I was out of town. Maybe I should leave town more often. But the, the customer counts are higher on the website than normal. We're up like 10% in Flow, but our purchase percentage is lower. It's not a lot lower, but it's a touch lower and it should be higher with the higher customer rate. What's going on?
DJ Pre K
Just theory here, but. We're seeing a little bit more of those.
J.D. Ryan
Why middle of the summer?
DJ Pre K
Yeah, I think it's more of. Because the guy when the people with really good cars are on vacation right.
J.D. Ryan
Now makes sense now. That makes total sense.
John Clay Wolf
So you're giving us a capitalist theory.
DJ Pre K
Yes, it's very capitalistic. Again, I'm seeing a lot more this come through percentage is a little bit.
J.D. Ryan
Higher but that makes total sense. There's more people on the people that have money are on vacation.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I'll be damned. And the working people are working in the 180,000 mile Hyundai showing up. Exactly right.
Bobbo
Is that typical of July or is that new this year or.
DJ Pre K
I'm, I have been more focused on it this year than last year, but I guarantee we could probably start drilling on into stuff like that. Oh yeah, our IT guys can do all kinds of things can change, you know, show different types of number, different types of vehicles that come in at different times of weeks. I think we can, we could probably, I don't know, change the system. I don't know, maybe give me the vin dot com. Is something that, that revolutionary?
John Clay Wolf
Maybe, possibly.
Bobbo
I know, I've heard John talk about, I've heard you talk about things like the RV market and different market markets other than our specific little niche in seasons, you know, and what the, what the Fed's doing or not doing the last six months or so.
John Clay Wolf
And the used car market is a.
Bobbo
True commodity market inflation.
John Clay Wolf
You know, convertibles slow down after the 4th of July. Sports cars slow down after the 4th of July. We haven't really seen that yet on the convertibles. We have. When the temperature in Texas hits 100, then the sports cars in the. And the convertible starts slowing down. You know the theory, Paulie gave me a theory one time that, that the rich guy buys his sports car in the spring to get the girl and by, you know, May, he's got the girl and he's, he's dated her. He's been mashing on her for six weeks and he's either gotten rid of her or now they're together and he's, you know, he didn't get rid of his sports car and buys the Range Rover, the escalator, whatever it is. He's getting to hunker down into the winter. It sounds ridiculous, but it kind of makes sense.
Bobbo
It does.
John Clay Wolf
Sports cars and boats kind of go hand.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, I got them. Now I'm either gonna kick them to the curb or we're going through the winter.
John Clay Wolf
Right. So if you'd like to sell yours, do it sooner than later. Give me the vi n.comgivemetheven.com God, I've seen a lot of knockoffs of our. Of our system coming around all over the country.
DJ Pre K
Knew it would happen, though.
John Clay Wolf
We knew it happened. That's why I got the thing trademarked. And I've already seen people using our trademark. We've had to send out about 12 cease and cease and desist letters.
J.D. Ryan
Like they're trying to get close to give me the vin.
John Clay Wolf
They're trying. They're using our name in their marketing.
Bobbo
You sell your car.
John Clay Wolf
There's one competitor that literally says on their web, on their. So they're buying our search words, but it says, give me the VIN Sl us your car, slash their name. So from the customer point of view, it looks like us. And I called him. I know him.
J.D. Ryan
You know the guy, he's all, fix it.
John Clay Wolf
And I called him again. I said, he's still up there. He said, well, you can't trademark that. I said, the hell I can't. And I sent him a copy of the certification, and he's like, well, that's Google, not us. I was like, no, it's.
J.D. Ryan
You sure.
John Clay Wolf
So we had to send him a letter. And it's a pretty large company, actually. I mean, they. They're publicly traded company.
DJ Pre K
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
Right?
Bobbo
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
He knows what he's doing.
John Clay Wolf
No, he doesn't know what he's doing. He's fixed to get his ass.
J.D. Ryan
No, well, I mean, he's trying. He's trying to glom onto your success.
John Clay Wolf
Well, just whatever. I mean, just come up with your own stuff.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
You know, we didn't invent buying and selling cars, but we damn sure trademark gave me the VIN and invented the online process. Oh, they copy the hell out of us. That's fine. But again, you know, get you some. It ain't easy.
J.D. Ryan
Get you some what you work. I know it's not easy.
John Clay Wolf
When we go into these new markets, it takes forever to get them fired up. It costs a gazillion dollars to get them fired up.
DJ Pre K
Aren't we going to join some new ones coming up in a couple weeks?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, we've got Denver firing up in Fort Collins, Colorado Springs. We're in Mississippi Gulfport. And did you even know that Gulfport. And I got. We're putting a Mississippi network together, I think. Three cities. Jackson, Gulfport, Bloxy, Gulfport. Blocks. You're almost where? One of the same.
DJ Pre K
I think that area will work because we already see that, and we're not even on in that area.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, they're. They're coming to us anyway. And then Florida, of course. I got to get Florida down so I can go visit the boat again.
J.D. Ryan
There you go.
DJ Pre K
I think that's a great area, too.
John Clay Wolf
For us, there's no question. But when you have a friend with a big boat that never goes to it, then I've got a floating condo to go visit. Is that an office there? Yeah, exactly.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, the east coast office. You and Rush hanging out all the time?
John Clay Wolf
Rush. That's funny.
J.D. Ryan
All right, let's see what else we have in the news now. A peacock that was on the loose in Newton, New Hampshire, was taken into custody by the police. This. The peacock was taken into custody. Who says that the bird has been terrorizing residents there for the past few days? Actually, we have a local news report here about this peacock.
John Clay Wolf
A sigh of relief in several New Hampshire neighborhoods after people were being terrorized by, of all things, a peacock. Yeah, he's now behind bars. As you can see here. The Newton Police Department captured this bird after he was causing some trouble in Newton. And Plastow. He had no identification on him. So if you know where this bird belongs, you should call police.
J.D. Ryan
You know, it's odd that we unbelievably have him actually in the studio with us. His name is Walter. Yeah, we got him up just for little chat. Hey, Walter.
DJ Pre K
Walter's here.
J.D. Ryan
Walter's in the studio. Hey, Walter.
DJ Pre K
Wow. Look at his feathers.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, my God. Dude.
DJ Pre K
Yeah, hold on.
Caller/Guest
Can you.
J.D. Ryan
What is going on, Walter?
John Clay Wolf
Are you a smoker?
Caller/Guest
I was playing with music.
Bobbo
What?
John Clay Wolf
Walter's an idiot.
Caller/Guest
You surprised me.
J.D. Ryan
I surprised you? Oh, I didn't know. We brought you here from New Hampshire. We didn't think you'd be surprised to be on the radio.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Satan
What?
John Clay Wolf
Hey, Walter, why don't you gather up and get your. Why don't you go get a cup of coffee and you come back in a minute. I'm gonna go to Target. I want to talk about this madness this family brought Disneyland. What the hell happened there?
DJ Pre K
What just happened right there?
John Clay Wolf
Yes, it's a great question.
J.D. Ryan
So, weird.
John Clay Wolf
Family feud at Disneyland.
DJ Pre K
Yes, so it was all over the Internet.
Bobbo
That's a bad deal.
DJ Pre K
Family. I don't know what they were arguing about.
John Clay Wolf
White Mexican folk Black folk.
DJ Pre K
I don't know.
John Clay Wolf
You.
Bobbo
You.
DJ Pre K
You determine yourself here?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I already got it. DJ Prek. Is that white, black, Latino or other man? That.
DJ Pre K
That was hard.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, Come on.
DJ Pre K
How's that hard? Other man?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I'm having to go islanders. Islanders. Okay.
DJ Pre K
Yeah, yeah. Maybe Haitian or something.
John Clay Wolf
Canadians, if you listen.
DJ Pre K
I wish that cut kept going because this lady's calling 91 1. She's like, yes, we're in front of the Goofy display and there's a fight going on.
J.D. Ryan
Calling you live from Goofy?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Yes.
DJ Pre K
I mean, people are just. When they get on vacation, they get stupid sometimes.
J.D. Ryan
You've been to Disney? Disneyland.
DJ Pre K
Yeah, it's stressful. It's very stressful with kids and stuff.
John Clay Wolf
Like that and expensive and hot. Yeah.
DJ Pre K
You just. You're gonna hit a Mickey.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, for sure. You know what was weird? And I know I always talk about my drinking or not drinking. When I got to the boat the first day, you know, immediately pop a beer.
J.D. Ryan
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
And that first night, I got a little drunker than I meant to. And then the rest of the time, I just didn't care. It wasn't even on my mind much. I would, like open a beer just to have it.
Bobbo
Beer.
John Clay Wolf
But did you relax?
J.D. Ryan
Three a day, you're chilled all day. You didn't need it.
DJ Pre K
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Isn't that weird?
Bobbo
It's almost like a meteorological thing. It's a transformation. You get so relaxed down there.
John Clay Wolf
It's.
Bobbo
It's like they say it's dry heat in Arizona. It's just humid as all get out in South Florida. But you're on the ocean. You got constant supply of fresh air, man, that salt air, and you just let go.
J.D. Ryan
There's a picture of John with a fish that's on Facebook. And, dude, you just look so chill. That's just almost not you. It's so chill. It's just. I'm like, dude, this is you. This is the Island John.
John Clay Wolf
It was. I like Island John.
Uncle Norman
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
That was beautiful.
Uncle Norman
Neat.
J.D. Ryan
So you can see in your eyes, man. She's sure just like, oh. All the tension's gone.
Bobbo
By the way, you guys heard just a short, short piece of audio from that family fight at Disneyland.
John Clay Wolf
Can you put it on the Facebook page?
Bobbo
And I hesitate to put it on the Facebook page.
John Clay Wolf
Please do.
Bobbo
But I'm putting it on the Facebook page. This goes on for four and a half minutes.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, no.
Bobbo
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Is it like the Chuck E. Cheese fight about six months ago?
Bobbo
It's worse.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, wow.
Bobbo
It'll hurt your feelings.
J.D. Ryan
Does it resolve at all or do we not?
Uncle Norman
No.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
Bobbo
No man's ready to go to jail tonight. What you get out of it?
J.D. Ryan
Oh, I'm ready to go to jail tonight.
Bobbo
Well, you're going to get your way just that tough.
John Clay Wolf
I had a friend of mine call me. He's an older fella, guy I've known forever. And his wife tried to stab him the other night. And he called the cops and they took her to jail. And he's kind of asking for my advice. And he was admitting that this had happened in the past several times when she starts drinking and started into all this family stuff. And my advice to him was, call her son. That seems to be an issue, too. And have him come bond her ass out. It's not his son, but I've never been. I've had a lot of. A lot of arguments with angry women, wives. Well, that's not really true. I've never been stabbed at. Have you ever been stabbed at? You told me a story about trying to stay.
J.D. Ryan
I had a girl go for a knife in a drawer and I had to tackle her and hold her to the floor. I didn't hit her. I just held her.
John Clay Wolf
Maybe you need to talk to him. All right. That's all we've got today. See you later, boy. Boys and girls, we'll see you next Saturday. Starts at 7aM Central. 8aM on the air. Podcast is johnclaywolf. Com. Givemetheben. Com. Thanks.

Podcast Theme:
Cars, sports, sex, drugs, rock & roll, and anything that won’t get them fined by the FCC.
Episode #206 embodies The John Clay Wolfe Show’s signature chaos: off-the-cuff comedy, wild characters, offbeat car business talk, irreverent music debate, bawdy stories, raunchy drops, and moments of surprising honesty. The core crew—John Clay Wolfe, J.D. Ryan, Bobbo, DJ Pre K, and recurring characters—ramble from off-color car appraisals to the flying knee in UFC, the dos and don’ts of ghetto slang, hurricane humor, dive bar philosophies, and the untamed realities of home renovation.
