#212 John Clay Wolfe Show 08.24.19

Summary

The John Clay Wolfe Show — Episode #212 (08.24.19)

Overview

In this episode of The John Clay Wolfe Show, the crew dives deep into their quintessentially irreverent blend of car talk, workplace comedy, social commentary, and freewheeling banter. Broadcast across multiple cities, the show leans heavily on John’s car-buying empire (GiveMeTheVIN.com) but ventures constantly into R-rated workplace drama, Midwestern/Southern humor, American cultural history, and sharply authentic call-in confessions.

Working through a full Saturday morning, John, Bobbo, JD Ryan, DJ Pre K, and their colorful cast of coworkers and callers riff through stories about employee antics, parental struggles, regional stereotypes, redneck mythologies, pop culture, car sales, addiction, and more. Several memorable call-in moments bookend the show: listeners confess inbred family ties, try to sell cars, share wild workplace stories, or ask for jobs at the car-buying company ("I'm an alcoholic, which seems to be a prerequisite…").

If you need pure, unfiltered talk radio about the real world of cars, work, family, and American craziness—all with unvarnished comedic honesty—this episode is a wild ride.

• [82:41–107:50] Similar drama with "Betty," the company’s HR manager, whose chronic absenteeism, drinking at the bar, and frequent “my kid’s sick” excuses come to a head. The crew discusses her firing/resignation, the unemployment office, and workplace honesty.
• Cultural Note: The crew’s tolerance for eccentricity is high—until lies and lost money enter.

—JD Ryan [166:35]

Conclusion

As John says:

“We make radio and content and drama out of real life. It’s very, very real—and you can’t write it.”

For full scenes, laughs, and learning how not to get ripped off by a car dealer, listen in, and remember: It’s so easy, you can do it in your underwear.

Hey, Babo.

[JD Ryan]

What's up, brother?

[Bobby Brown]

Let me tell you about my best friend.

[JD Ryan]

A good show.

[Bobby Brown]

There he is wearing a Hawaiian shirt. JD Ryan is ne guy. I made up a song about you just now.

[JD Ryan]

I could tell.

[Bobby Brown]

Awfully nice to see you on a Saturday morning. Let me tell you, sometimes.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Brown]

This job that we do and we buy, we buy vehicles. We buy vehicles live, right here on the air, live. You know, but that stretches into the week. I mean, the website. Give me the vin.com people are ringing and you guys are, you know, working the buyer's office downstairs. You're busy down there. I'm busy up here. Everybody. You wouldn't believe the accounting office this week is just ticket. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick constantly. 40 hours, probably. Probably 50.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah, at least.

[Bobby Brown]

Sometimes it is a joy to get up on a Saturday morning and just hang with you guys and do this, whatever it is, this thing that we do.

[JD Ryan]

The highlight of the week.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks, papa.

[Bobby Brown]

You know, we love you too. Awfully nice to see you, JD Baba.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you see that new sign we got for your office?

[Bobby Brown]

Did you get a new sign? Was it safe?

[John Clay Wolf]

Chicken choker.

[Bobby Brown]

Well.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, he's down there by himself.

[JD Ryan]

All by himself.

[John Clay Wolf]

All the other. At the other end of the west wing, he went and plotted out a parcel where nobody could see him. And somebody said that they thought that they saw him with his chicken.

[Bobby Brown]

Well, somebody's got to keep an eye on the livestock, fellas. Yeah, you know, there's no I'm. And I've said this many times, a chicken joker, you know, you think, I mean, chickens are smart, okay? And you can accomplish a lot with one well trained chicken okay. But you know, occasionally they're like any talent. Like any talent, they're going to act up. Occasionally they're going to. They're going to, you know, they're going to act up. You're going to have to keep a close eye on them, you know, their attendance and when they do screw up. The only effective way to discipline a chicken is to choke them.

[John Clay Wolf]

You have to chase them around the barn and catch them first, or they. Is your chicken easy to catch.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, it works. Yeah. No, I got it down. I got it down. I had a feeling I got it down.

[John Clay Wolf]

So cold chicken would walk right up to the barn without being chased. They were talking about choking chicken. Yeah, and it was that Turley guy, the Jewish fellow.

[DJ Pre K]

Not Jewish.

[JD Ryan]

Still not Jewish.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-723-4-800. Good morning, DC100.

[Bobby Brown]

There goes our brand new affiliate in Raleigh, South Carolina. Bye, guys.

[John Clay Wolf]

Actually, there comes.

[Bobby Brown]

We've had enough.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, the, the. The. Anybody south of dc, they're cool, right? All the way over to say you get to New Mexico and they start chopping up a bit. Anything west of Albuquerque besides Nevada is liberal, whiny, bitchy, dying to be offended. You know, that's very opposite for what you would think, based of the genetic nomenclature of what created those people. I'm not talking about the American Indians.

[Bobby Brown]

I think it's a stereotype.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm talking about the people who loaded up Mom, Paul Kettle, the donors, the domes. What was their donors?

[Bobby Brown]

The Okies.

[John Clay Wolf]

The donors that died on the past. Tom Joad and his people that took the Oregon Trail. They weren't a bunch of.

[DJ Pre K]

They were prudent, very right wing Christian.

[Bobby Brown]

You talk about the Mormons?

[Listeners/Callers]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but they weren't a bunch of liberal sissies.

[DJ Pre K]

Well, or they're uptight Christians.

[John Clay Wolf]

Were they so uptight that they wanted to get out of the city and go start their own village like Jonestown?

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, yeah. Mormons can't even drink Dr. Pepper, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

So is that where this is coming from?

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that why the west coast is so damn sensitive?

[DJ Pre K]

You've got that. That mix that's just a toxic mix.

[John Clay Wolf]

Toxic? Turley has no opinion.

[JD Ryan]

It's a toxic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Toxic. They're toxic people.

[Bobby Brown]

Well, I don't think you can blame it on the Mormons were so long ago and they stopped at Utah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You brought all the Mormon thing up. I'm just.

[Bobby Brown]

I mean, who are you talking about?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm just talking about those west coast crybaby. You know, you can comb Democrats, but you know what happened I don't think that's a good term. I don't think it's a Democrat.

[Bobby Brown]

We had a thing called the Dust bowl, and people lost their entire fortunes, their entire lives.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Bobby Brown]

You couldn't farm the land, okay? They're starving out there. The jackrabbits are eating everything before they can grow it out of the ground. So they loaded up the truck, put Granny in the back. Grapes wrath, man, and headed out west and starved again because all the rich landowners wouldn't pay them decent wages for picking their fruit. They had no place to live, and they'd been out there, you know. You know how long it took to get to California back then?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it sounds. It sounds a lot like an argument for this wall thing we've been hearing about nine months.

[Bobby Brown]

You know, they're starving. Grandma dies on the way there. Right before they cross the river, strap.

[JD Ryan]

Around the top of the car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Which river?

[Bobby Brown]

The California River.

[John Clay Wolf]

Could you imagine doing all that and taking a wrong turn and coming up. Coming up on the Grand Canyon, breaking down.

[Bobby Brown]

So they are no trucks. Well, that's right after it broke down, they had to walk the rest of the way. So they get to Needles. They get as far as Needles.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where's Needles?

[DJ Pre K]

That's in California.

[Bobby Brown]

And they're broken down. They have to walk. You know. Thankfully, the oldest daughter marries a radio operator, and so she's out of the. She's out of the tent. They're out there starving. These landowners are starving them out, man. They come out and beat them up at night. Don't you dare join a union. So they unionize and they're living in government housing, you know, and that's not. I'm not saying it's just entitlement, but, yes, there's a desperation that lasts for generations after that. And we're. I think California's just about to get normal again, finally.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobby Brown]

But these poor, poor Okies, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

We haven't started in Oklahoma yet. It's American history.

[Bobby Brown]

Well, that's what's wrong with Oklahoma.

[John Clay Wolf]

There is some. And let's talk about Oklahoma until before they get on the radio here in an hour. What is wrong fundamentally with Oklahoma? Because I can't have this Dust bowl man conversation. And I mean, I can rag on them and kick them in the nuts, but I can't really tell the truth.

[DJ Pre K]

There's something wrong with it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Okay.

[DJ Pre K]

I have to agree.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah.

[JD Ryan]

What are the symptoms that you see?

[John Clay Wolf]

Lack of mental retardation?

[DJ Pre K]

Well, no, no.

[Bobby Brown]

Lack of profession.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do not dump that. Did you dump that?

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, no, no, There's a better way of saying that, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was. That was a very. Did you really dump that? Yes. Just ask it again, J.D.

[JD Ryan]

Okay. What are the symptoms of the people in Oklahoma?

[John Clay Wolf]

I think down. Symptoms. What?

[JD Ryan]

They're just depressed is what he's saying. Yes, that's what he's saying. Like little ducks that down.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think they're just. I think they're mentally challenged.

[DJ Pre K]

We could say inbred, right? You think that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you think Oklahoma. I mean, Baba, you lived right up there on that river. Do you think Oklahoma's got a heavier inbreeding factor than other places every year in breeding?

[Bobby Brown]

Yes, obviously.

[JD Ryan]

Yes. Oh, my God.

[Bobby Brown]

Not everywhere. Not everywhere, not everybody, right? But, you know, in a small town, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

In small town. Oklahoma is definitely different than city in Tulsa. Tulsa. You can carve Tulsa, Oklahoma out on its own and shove it over to Missouri.

[JD Ryan]

Oh, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a classier act.

[DJ Pre K]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

For sure. For sure. It feels a lot like Fort Worth, Texas. It reminds me a ton of Fort Worth, Texas. But. But Oklahoma City is. Are the. Are the inbreds that gathered up strong enough to. They couldn't make it across the California river, but they did make it from, like, Chillicothe or. Or, you know, Marietta to Oklahoma City. So it's a weaker version of that same mentality, just dumber.

[Bobby Brown]

The post Dust bowl influx.

[JD Ryan]

Yes.

[Bobby Brown]

This is all history. Do you ever watch Channel 13?

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait, wait. History now.

[DJ Pre K]

Babos history moment.

[John Clay Wolf]

The post Dust bowl influx of retardation?

[Bobby Brown]

No, just oklahomites coming back. Dust Bowl's over. You live on them jackrabbits for years.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, I'm talking about the kind of dumb, like, where you're wearing a helmet in the grocery store checkout deal, bagging stuff.

[Bobby Brown]

I know, but if you've never had that speech, you know, your mom was like, I didn't want to say anything till after the prom, but she is your cousin, you know. Oh, really? Geez.

[JD Ryan]

Okay, I'm gonna. Monday. I'm. This moment marked in time. JD Said stop.

[DJ Pre K]

Hey.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, Bob, have you ever have. Did you say that you had a kissing cousin situation once?

[Bobby Brown]

No, no, I had. I had a friend that had a great story about it.

[DJ Pre K]

Tell us.

[John Clay Wolf]

Tell it quickly.

[Bobby Brown]

My. My friend.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've got a minute, 47 seconds.

[Bobby Brown]

My friend Gilly was. Was messing around Wichita Falls years ago, and he used to tell a story. You know, I met this galaxy, and we, you know, and we all lived and worked with stuff Falls, and we hung around and took her home, met her at the bar, took her home and hung around her house for like three days, you know, three days, three nights. And he was like, and this is great, man. It was awesome. It was just, you know. But we didn't go together. God damn it, Bob.

[Bobby Brown]

I'll tell a story like I tell the story, jackass.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to hear him pork his cousin.

[Bobby Brown]

He had the. He had the affair of his life. Okay, okay. Like a nine and a half weeks style deal. Oh, okay. He's like, this is the. I mean, just a hot chick. We were very compatible.

[John Clay Wolf]

But it was on Sundays and it was around the pool, the barbecue.

[Bobby Brown]

I met her at a bar. She took me home to her place. And I didn't. I didn't leave. I didn't go back to my place for three days.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay?

[Bobby Brown]

He said it was amazing, but we didn't stay in touch. We weren't like, boyfriend, girlfriend, you know, it's just a thing that happened and I lost track of her. And the next year at the family reunion, there she is. Oh, no, she like his second cousin.

[John Clay Wolf]

Second cousin. Does that count? Is that a counter? Where do you draw the line?

[Bobby Brown]

And this is my daughter, Joanie.

[Bobby Brown]

Joanie, this is Johnny. He's a cousin.

[DJ Pre K]

What is too close? Anything is too close.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, there's got. I mean, if you really want to drill in those rivers, cross, buddy. They do. Those creeks and streams, they cross. So it. You're not as good as you think, Turley. There's something there for you, too. Yeah.

[Bobby Brown]

Thank goodness.

[John Clay Wolf]

Deborah, welcome to Confessional Saturday Morning. Thank you for joining.

[Listeners/Callers]

Oh, you're welcome.

[John Clay Wolf]

So tell me about it. Tell me what's on your mind. Get it all off your chest.

[Listeners/Callers]

I don't have anything on my chest. But you were talking about interracial inter. Inter family relationship. And I thought, well, my grandmother and grandfather are first cousins and they married and they had children and then their children had children and then their children had health issues. And some of the people that these people married didn't know that their spouse's mother and father were first cousins. And it's pretty cool that, you know, that's what it did in the 40s. In the 40s, the 50s, they came over from Italy, they married each other and they had babies.

[John Clay Wolf]

What kind of health problems?

[Listeners/Callers]

Sorry?

[John Clay Wolf]

Like when you say health issues, do you think it was from cross breeding, inbreeding?

[Listeners/Callers]

Absolutely. One little girl was born with two kidneys and.

[John Clay Wolf]

Two kidneys.

[Listeners/Callers]

And that's when her mother found out that her husband's mother and father were first cousins.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did any of them have. Did any of them have webbed feet?

[Listeners/Callers]

What is it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Did any of them have webbed toes? Webbed feet like a duck.

[Listeners/Callers]

No whip. But they had double, double organs. One had a hole in the heart.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not funny. Web feet's funny. The heart is not funny. Speaking of, I've got a hole in my clock. I've got to go where the. The thing's blinking at me. My name's John Clay Wolf. Your name's Deborah. Deborah, where do you live?

[Listeners/Callers]

I'm sorry?

[John Clay Wolf]

Where do you live?

[Listeners/Callers]

In Montclair, Virginia.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, take us out. Say this is. We'll be back with more of the John Clay Wolf Show. Say that real loud and clear.

[Listeners/Callers]

Thank you. Okay, I'm on the John Wolf, so I'm driving.

[Podbean Announcer]

I love you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bye. And I have webbed feet. We'll be right back.

[Radio Announcer]

Back with more of the John Clay Wolf show after this, presented by givemetheven.com and now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com I have.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Ability to piss people off.

[Radio Announcer]

Hit them up now. 800, 800 radio.

[Bobby Brown]

Quit rattling my cage.

[Radio Announcer]

This is the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what were you saying about the office? It was just busy this week. Humming along.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, it's. It's humming. Yeah, it's going.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

For sure.

[Bobby Brown]

For sure. I haven't. Like I told Charlie this morning, that's probably the third time I've seen Charlie all week long. Yeah, they're busy down there. You know, I work upstairs in a different wing, and it's just like. Yeah, there's a lot of work going on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Except for jd. He's a lazy bastard. But that is not new.

[JD Ryan]

It's not new. This is nothing new.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, to be a professional slacker takes a lot of effort.

[JD Ryan]

It is. So far, it's taken 40 years.

[John Clay Wolf]

800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Good morning, big 100. Speaking of slackers, let me prove it to you. J.D. do you have the traffic for DC?

[JD Ryan]

Not a clue. Actually, we do. Currently inside the Loop in the District of Columbia. If you're on DC 295 southbound, right before Pennsylvania Avenue. And we know who lives there, right? The single lane is getting by. There's just an accident, but it's no one we know. Also on I 66 of Roosevelt Bridge, inbound at Independence Avenue, the left lane there is blocked just by a disabled vehicle. And if you're over in Maryland, really, it's not too bad. MD28, both ways at the river. All lanes are blocked there by a work zone.

[John Clay Wolf]

California River.

[JD Ryan]

Everyone knows the river. Get out of here. It'll be nice. Actually only 80 degrees for the high today, partly cloudy. We have 64, currently a big 100.

[Bobby Brown]

The one that my junior high geography teacher called the Potomac.

[JD Ryan]

The Potomac River.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bottom back. Did you see where Trump fired up the taxes higher on China yesterday? They. They raised him on us, and then he came back and ripped up and told all the US companies to get out of China, basically.

[JD Ryan]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Not basically. He did say that. Did he say that, Baba?

[Bobby Brown]

Well, he said, think about manufacturing your stuff somewhere else. You know, it's like when your boss.

[JD Ryan]

Says, hey, you might want to think about taking your personal effects here on your desk and moving them somewhere else.

[Bobby Brown]

I know you're going to be amazed. I have a huge idea. I just came up with this this morning during my morning tweet. Find somewhere else to manufacture the iPhone. Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you.

[JD Ryan]

Here all week.

[Bobby Brown]

Gonna be wonderful. A lot of people are saying they could make the iPhone in Oklahoma.

[JD Ryan]

Mostly Tulsa, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, those tweakers will run hard.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, those tweakers will run hard. Muskogee or no place at all. You know why? Because they don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee.

[JD Ryan]

I think that song is dated.

[Bobby Brown]

And they don't take their trips on lsd.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you think the per capita meth use in the state of Oklahoma is the highest in the country?

[Bobby Brown]

Well, it's supply and demand. You know, it's like we have Shiner Bach here in Texas, but we make it here. I mean, it, you know, it originates here. So they're kind of inside the, you know, the consumer loop of that kind of deal. Sure, of course they do.

[John Clay Wolf]

We have had no car calls this morning. Corvette or some mild out Oklahoma turd.

[JD Ryan]

Funny, because I just looked up top 10 cities with the most drug use.

[John Clay Wolf]

Stop it.

[JD Ryan]

Okay, well, it lists a bunch of them, but one of them is Oklahoma City.

[DJ Pre K]

Where are they ranked at 5?

[JD Ryan]

Let's see here. Let's see. Minneapolis, Minnesota, India. They're not really ranked. This is like the top seven, right? Indianapolis, Indiana. Nashville, Tennessee. Tulsa, Oklahoma. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Oklahoma made two of the top 10.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah. Wichita, Kansas.

[John Clay Wolf]

In Portland, two showings.

[JD Ryan]

Oregon, nowhere in Texas, Kansas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Baba, you mentioned it a minute ago. In Portland, Oregon.

[JD Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

God, that's a real scatter shot.

[JD Ryan]

Very strange.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can't get a common denominator out of that. Except Oklahoma tweakers. Oklahoma meth runners. If they did Breaking Bad Part two, I think they need to move it over to Oklahoma.

[DJ Pre K]

They're making a movie, by the way.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are they?

[DJ Pre K]

Yes. Breaking. Yep, yep, yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is. Is what's his name in it? Of course.

[DJ Pre K]

Supposed to be. Yeah. Everybody. Everybody from the show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you in any movies right now?

[DJ Pre K]

Into any movies?

[John Clay Wolf]

Any. Has anybody seen Yellowstone?

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, you talking about TV shows?

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, I'm loving Yellowstone. It's not a great show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobby Brown]

But I do like that gal they've got on there, Kelly Reilly.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've been watching Billions, which is a hedge fund story. It's Wall Street. It's Gordon Gekko Story.

[Bobby Brown]

Right. Paul Giamatti.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Did you see it?

[Bobby Brown]

Not yet.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's such a great actor. Is he still alive?

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know why I thought he died. I know the real Pig Vomit died from a Stern show.

[JD Ryan]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was a friend of mine.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, he was in that, wasn't he?

[John Clay Wolf]

He's dead.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

I think he's won an Oscar for something better than that, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

Giamatti was great as Pig Vomit.

[JD Ryan]

Dude, he was great. He was great as Pig Vomit. But he's been in a lot of movies.

[DJ Pre K]

Oscar for, what was it, Sideways or whatever.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, yeah. First time we saw Paul Giamatti, Johnny Depp was explaining to him the meaning of forget about it. And what's that called? Donnie Brasco. Yeah, that was Paul Giamatti. So let's forget about it. Forget about it. Like paranchine peppers. Forget about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was the real Pig Vomit's name? I forgot. I met him and I asked him. I brought it up. Of course I did. And he didn't elaborate. He didn't like the topic.

[Bobby Brown]

It was something like llama vomit, wasn't it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Pig sore. Pig poop. Pig breath.

[JD Ryan]

Kevin Matheny.

[John Clay Wolf]

Kevin Matheny. That was him, yeah. He died a year ago.

[Bobby Brown]

You were close. You were tap dancing all around.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, no, no, no, but his real name wasn't Pig Vomit. It was Pig something. It doesn't matter. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. And I remember the day that he died. I did turn into the Stern show. I've never. I don't listen to Stern anymore, but I wanted to hear if Stern was going to tap dance on his grave or if he was going to be nice. And he was nice. But he's nice now. He's laid up. He's not. He's made so much money. He's really going back on a redemption tour, kissing everybody's ass and making up. Trying to. Trying to get his. Stern's trying to get a stairway back to heaven.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah. No, he is. He absolutely is.

[John Clay Wolf]

All he's doing. Satan, are you there? Well, yeah, he's always there. You know, a lot of people said that Stern's show was really you pulling the strings.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Yeah, not really. I mean, you know, early on.

[JD Ryan]

Did you help him out early on?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Well, I. I'm sure. Sure. I gave a little advice.

[DJ Pre K]

We was writer here and there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Satan, the Prince of Darkness, everybody, in case you haven't met him.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

So I can't officially say I was his writer per se, but we did pass a lot of notes.

[Bobby Brown]

He was.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was right here in D.C. on W. You know, DC101.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

WWDC.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

That's a great job.

[John Clay Wolf]

So is he going to hell or what? Can he kiss enough ass to straighten it out to go to heaven?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Well, I mean, it's. It's different for those magnets of the entertainment industry. You know, they more or less get to get to pick, you know, after a probationary period of a thousand.

[John Clay Wolf]

So who are some big names that are Going straight to hell.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Straight to hell.

[John Clay Wolf]

Straight to hell. That don't get the probationary.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

You don't want to know that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I really do.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

You don't want to know that.

[John Clay Wolf]

If I didn't want to know, I wouldn't ask Satan who's going straight to hell, you know, because we say that to. You can go straight to hell. Yeah.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

It's going to shock you.

[JD Ryan]

Short list, I hope.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know Oprah's one of them shortlist. Oh, yeah, Oprah.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

You got that one.

[JD Ryan]

Oh, really?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Well, obviously I didn't know Michael Douglas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, what? Straight to hell?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Yeah.

[JD Ryan]

And soon. For the.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

For the initial probationary period of a thousand years. Now after that, they can go where they want.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

You know, it's like royalties. Cameron Diaz. Yeah.

[JD Ryan]

What?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Yeah, for the. For the ass dance.

[JD Ryan]

Just for that.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Yeah. That got her. She's a sweet gal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

But, you know, that ass dance that's been pervasive in society, and I think you know what I'm talking about.

[JD Ryan]

I do.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Drew Barrymore.

[DJ Pre K]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Why? Why?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Lucy Lou?

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, listen, all the Charlie Angels, those.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Charlie's Angels remakes did not help their calls. Yeah, I mean, you know Farah. Farah, she's up there in the other place.

[JD Ryan]

Oh, she's Kate Jackson. She'll.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

She'll go straight there. Yeah, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

But the remake, they're. They're going south. Well, what about Bill Murray? Wasn't he Charlie?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

They asked me about that, and I said, God, don't do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't do what?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Don't make another Charlie's Angels.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, God made it okay.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

You know, I mean, I don't. I don't speak that way normally, but I was like, oh, my God, don't do it, man. Don't do it. It's like that Michael Bay period, mid-90s. You know what? What's the most interesting way we can.

[John Clay Wolf]

Blow up a boat over and over?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

And you'll be with me someday, too, but that's just the way it works down here and the ditches of eternity.

[Listeners/Callers]

See you, buddy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can you take us out, Satan, or is it too late?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Sure, John. Stick around. We'll be back with more happy feelings on the John Clay Wolf show.

Yes, Senor Juan Clay Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

Queen. Which song?

[Bobby Brown]

Hammer to fall.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, 100 listeners in Baltimore. I need to do a radio check in Baltimore. If you're on in Baltimore and you're hearing us right, Good morning. It's Saturday. Yes. My name's John Clevel. What time is it? It's 8:48 and we're live. If you're in Baltimore and you're car driving, you can hear us, please call me real quick. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Boogie check. Boogie check. Ooh. Call in with the. Let me know if you're out there. And I'm specifically looking for Baltimore listeners. I'd like to know what the signal sounds like. I think the problem last week was sunspot. Solar. Solar. Lots of cars this week. We bought and sold them. You know, we had 398 in Pennsylvania yesterday in Mannheim, and we sold 392 in Dallas. It's a bunch. It's busy. We're bought. So if you guys don't want to sell your car. I haven't talked about cars in 45 minutes. Go to givemetheven.com Remember, if we won't beat your CarMax offer, we will send a check for 100. Speaking of, had a friend, he was at CarMax yesterday.

[JD Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he sent me a text. So I'm here trying to sell my Audi, but really I'm just getting a number on it before I sell it to you. Give you an option on it.

[Bobby Brown]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he mentioned it to them that we, you know, he said, I think I'm.

[JD Ryan]

That he might take it.

[John Clay Wolf]

He said, hit it hard because I'm gonna send it to give me the VIN next. Okay. So he was trying to get their thinking up and. And they started talking and that in the CarMax. A little CarMax prick. Oh, it's a sales associate.

[JD Ryan]

This goes downhill.

[John Clay Wolf]

These guys are. These guys are Nerdy. I mean, they. They take personality tests. I. I'm very familiar with CarMax. I bought 10,000 wholesale cars from them.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Back in the day.

[JD Ryan]

They hire sales, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

So they hire. I mean, to.

[DJ Pre K]

I could tell you I used to work for them.

[John Clay Wolf]

When they bring on a. A salesperson or any person. Employee, and they make them take a personality test. I mean, like, you need a bad personality to work there. That's how Turley made it stop it. Very square, very nerdy, very. You know. But this guy started getting poppy. He. Maldives. Calvin told the CarMax buyer, hit it hard. I'm going to take it to give me the VIN next. He said, don't do that. They lie. And he's like, what do you mean, they lie? And the CarMax guy said, when they come to pick it up, they back you up. They. They. They chop the price. And my guy said, well, that's funny. I used to be a manager there.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Whoops.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we didn't do that right. At all, actually. It was y', all that lie. Because you give people checks that aren't any good for eight days. Five to eight days. On the back of a CarMax check, it says, this check is not good for five to eight business days. It is a draft. It is not a check.

[DJ Pre K]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So don't start that. First of all, I'm flattered that we made it. He and the guy said, our managers are sick of hearing about getting. So, like, that's good. I'm glad that we got under their skin a little bit, because when we first started this, I know those guys were. They're like, good luck. Yeah, Go screw you. And then they quit buying cars from us because they thought they were going to slow us down. And that just made me madder because they made a lot of money on me. I. People used to sell their cars to CarMax. CarMax was selling to me for a profit, okay? And I would go sell them again for. I'm talking 10, maybe not 10,000, but for sure, 5,000. I think it was more like 10,000 units. So, you know, I was their customer, a good customer. They treated me bad.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, man. We used to pick up vehicles all the time over there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Frederick. Marilyn, good morning. It's John. You there? Mike.

[Listeners/Callers]

Hey, good morning, John. How are you? I'm listening to you. 100 big from Frederick, Maryland, but not Baltimore.

[John Clay Wolf]

Huh? Let me look at the map there. So, Frederick, you're northeast of the state, northwest.

[Listeners/Callers]

West, directly west, about 45 minutes from Baltimore.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm just trying to figure out if this. If this signal gets into Baltimore where it's audible or if it's not, because they want.

[Listeners/Callers]

It's clear as a bell in Frederick.

[John Clay Wolf]

Perfect. Yeah, they want me to buy more. You know, we buy advertising during the week. You know, we run the. Give me the bin commercials during the week. And they, they're pushing on me to spend more money in Baltimore. And I was wondering if this station covered Baltimore already. I don't know. So. Clear as a bet. Good deal. Appreciate it, sir. How far are you from, man? How far are you from, like, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania?

[Listeners/Callers]

About another 45 minutes north. You just go up 15 to the Mannheim auction.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. God, that's nothing.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah, we're about 45 minutes to an hour.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you. Is this the first time you've ever heard us?

[Listeners/Callers]

No, I was listening to you a couple weeks ago when I was helping a friend move some stuff and I had you on the station and. Yeah, I was listening to your show about what you do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you hooked?

[Listeners/Callers]

I think it's cool. I like what you do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks. 8008-0072-3480-0800, 7234. 800, 800 radio. Speaking of, did we get any more audio from the auction this week?

[DJ Pre K]

We do. We have a couple of fun clips. You want to do them now or later?

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll do one now. We can do them again later. Well, because right now we're only on WW or wbig. We're. Oh, the only station that we're on right this minute is big 100. And then here in the. At 8 o' clock or Central Time, 9 o' clock Eastern, we pick up 20 more stations. And then at 9, 10 o' clock, we pick up 10 more stations and. Bob, I'm working on a wrap of 10 more stations.

[Bobby Brown]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's like it's. I mean, I don't say a deal's done until it's done. It's done. So cool.

[DJ Pre K]

So this clip, this, this probably fitting for the Northeast during the auction, while these cars are running 20 seconds, every 20 seconds, selling vehicles, John decides just to. To stop down the auction because he's got a very important question to ask somebody.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think he's irish. He's not.

[DJ Pre K]

You're trying to sell a car. John's got to know. Hey, Norman, who's one of our mechanics who happens to be Puerto Rican?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Well, we were talking. The girl in the picture had a big booty and she was dark complected and. Sabrina something. I forgot what her name was. And Norman's a Puerto Rican. And we were talking about it earlier in the day and I didn't get the answer. And then.

[JD Ryan]

That's a good place to ask.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, great.

[JD Ryan]

I love.

[John Clay Wolf]

I didn't want it to slip before I forgot.

[JD Ryan]

The auctioner totally blows you off. Just keeps going.

[John Clay Wolf]

Silver spring, MARYLAND Good morning. You're on the air. Hello. You're on. I lost him. Wants us on. Hey, Braden. Good morning.

[Listeners/Callers]

Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's your message, sir?

[Listeners/Callers]

What's going on?

[John Clay Wolf]

We're on the air.

[Listeners/Callers]

We're.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're doing a radio show. You're on.

[Listeners/Callers]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, look, I'm over here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and I had to go chase some down the radio, the Internet, some station on the radio to find you on KG VR. Some music, family and fun, and this is the only one, man. When y' all gonna get on a station out here?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, we start there in the, on the air in, in, in like 4 minutes or whatever time it is. 10 minutes. At 8:06 we start on the Eagle in Baton Rouge and we're fixing to move and start another one. I think we're gonna be on the Classic Crocker in New Orleans. And then. Yeah, yeah, go to john claywolf.com and click stations. And there's like 30 something of them. But yeah, I, I think we just started doing this earlier hour a couple months ago for DC, right. Because all of our stations start at 8:00 o' clock central. DC starts 8:00 eastern. So we get up an hour earlier just for D.C. and we're doing this. But I, I'm gonna baba. What he's saying is let our affiliates know we're doing this extra hour and ask them if they want to take it because most of them will. Thank you, Brady.

[DJ Pre K]

Obviously the listeners want it so bad that they're going to find it. Yeah, by finding it on what was this station?

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, he found JD's Internet station, Grapevine Station. It's.

[John Clay Wolf]

Our stream is@john claywolf.com and that's what he's seen. And also the podcast goes up about 2 o', clock, so remember that. DJ, please put them on. DJ, please put them on hold.

[Bobby Brown]

I'm proud of you all. I'm getting his music, family and fun. What the hell is that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Dj, put him on. Oh, God damn it. Good morning, DJ Prek. Hi, Rockville, Maryland. Good morning. What you got?

[John Clay Wolf]

Real quick. Come on, what were you saying? Hello?

[DJ Pre K]

[John Clay Wolf]

Callback 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio she sounded like she's from Oklahoma. Bobbo, have you ever had any children? Give me children that were conceived on the other side of the red river.

[Bobby Brown]

Let me think. No, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

And were conceived on a p hard.

[Bobby Brown]

Easily. It could easily. It could easily have happened. But it didn't. Not for lack of trying.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Bobby Brown]

I know it.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're lazy.

[JD Ryan]

You don't.

[Bobby Brown]

I will take the bullet on it if you want. Cuz it's as much me as you this time for sure. What happened?

[John Clay Wolf]

We flaked.

[Bobby Brown]

We were going to go. John actually had tickets to see Hart last night with Joan J.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, man, we had a ball.

Did y' all have an affair?

[Bobby Brown]

We had a ball, yeah. For about an hour and a half right there in front of bad company, God, and everybody. No, they're cool. They're cool. Jamie and Jamie and his wife are very cool people. We were gonna do it too, J.D. we were, we were sitting around, around what, 5, 5:15. What time does it start? Well, we got some showers rolling in. I said, dude, it's gonna be a hot wet over there.

[John Clay Wolf]

At the Heart concert in Dallas last night.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, because they were outdoors at the old Starplex. Right. Dos equisibilia.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Okay.

[Bobby Brown]

And I said, you know, I'm not, I mean, I'm just saying, like, don't say Dos Equis.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not plugging them for free.

[Bobby Brown]

If you want a.

[JD Ryan]

Some beer with some X's on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Some Mexican, some, some non papered import, go ahead.

[Bobby Brown]

If you're not, if you're not enthusiastic about this, I'm just saying you're not going to have to talk me out of it. All right?

[JD Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

He gave me the out. John, if you don't want to go to Heart, I don't either. That's what he said.

[Bobby Brown]

Don't do it just for me because I won't let you go by yourself. Right, but you don't have to talk me out of it, man, if you don't want to go.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I said, call Sean and see if he wants him. He just grabbed him like a top water jig and they went, they went.

[Bobby Brown]

He checked in from the Mexican beer pavilion.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobby Brown]

That's just caddy.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's my first weekend getting to listen to you guys. I've been looking at cars in a whole different perspective ever since I started listening to the show.

[John Clay Wolf]

What says you won the car man? The car man of the week one time. Is that right?

[Listeners/Callers]

I sure did. I missed it by $2.

[DJ Pre K]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

We do this. We do this thing on the Facebook page. John Clay Wolf show Facebook page, where we list, like, six cars every week that we're going to auction off On Wednesday morning at the Dallas auto auction, everybody bids on them. Like a showcase showdown. And the closest to the money. The closest bid to the money gets a T shirt and a trophy. Custom trophy with a golden cock on it. A rooster head. A golden rooster.

[Listeners/Callers]

I love my golden. I love my golden. My T shirt had a stain on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did it?

[Listeners/Callers]

But I'm proud to wear that. It says. It sure did. It was bleached on the back. You guys. You guys do an amazing thing, man. Listen, a lot of people in south Louisiana do not listen to this radio station in the morning. Most of them don't wake up until noon.

[Bobby Brown]

Right.

[Listeners/Callers]

Of course, but that's just how they roll.

[John Clay Wolf]

What. What station are you catching us on?

[Listeners/Callers]

I'll announce that next week, but thanks, Dave. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. I got a stain on my T shirt. All right, Bill Clinton.

[DJ Pre K]

That's kind of weird.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you want to sell that T shirt, you can go to John cleveland.com and click merch. I don't think it says merch. It needs to say merch. The button. He said, Bob, will you take a note of that, please Get Rob to change that. It says something else. It doesn't.

[DJ Pre K]

Merchandise.

[John Clay Wolf]

It doesn't say merchandise. It says. Says something else. Gifts or items. It Doesn't. It's just not clear. It doesn't matter. But we go to John Wolf dot com.

[Bobby Brown]

Look, I'm doing it.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's stations that show all our affiliates. It doesn't say merch. I like merch.

[Bobby Brown]

Tells podcast shop. It's a shop.

[John Clay Wolf]

Shop, shop, shopping, shop.

[Bobby Brown]

No, man, come on.

[John Clay Wolf]

I gotta spend two.

[Listeners/Callers]

I bought it brand new.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but you got. You've got great miles, but I gotta spend $2,000 on the paint to get it right to match the miles. And then I still have to announce paint job. And then I gotta spend another 500 on the inside to make it perfect. To get this car to look like it's got 40 on it, I've got to spend $3,000. So my six grand is really nine grand. I'm gonna sell it for a little. I'll do the math with you real quick. I'm offering you six. I'm going to spend three in a month. Maybe a month and a half, right? So I'm 9 grand in it, maybe 9, 500 after BS and then I get 11 for it. So I make.

[Listeners/Callers]

I just put brand new after Sally's.

[John Clay Wolf]

On it, after selfies, I'm gonna. I'm gonna make a thousand bucks on it. And I worked on this thing for a month and a half. I work cheap on cars that are ready, right? 300, 400 bucks, that's fine. But if I've got to Do a project. I want to make extra money. What's it take to buy what?

[Listeners/Callers]

I completely understand that.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it take?

[Listeners/Callers]

I understand that, but the miles and.

[John Clay Wolf]

And, and the miles are good.

[Listeners/Callers]

I mean, everything's perfect.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it take to buy it?

[Listeners/Callers]

And I mean, there's nothing wrong with it mechanically.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it take to buy it?

[Listeners/Callers]

Black. It's just.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I damn sure want to buy it. Where are you calling from?

[DJ Pre K]

Yo, yo, what's poppin?

[John Clay Wolf]

I need you to float. I need you to be a better call screener.

[DJ Pre K]

What you mean, man?

[John Clay Wolf]

What am I doing wrong? You're just getting lazy. You've been around a long time. You've been dreamboating about your musical career. You've been making some money. You're a different man than who I met two years ago. But you're sitting back there now. And you're not doing a good job screening calls anymore. So what I want you to do.

[DJ Pre K]

What can I do better?

[John Clay Wolf]

We hired you a big booty Puerto Rican girl to come sit in your lap. And she didn't show up this morning, but she will Next Saturday. That will help your tempo, I promise.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, yeah, that'll help.

[John Clay Wolf]

But what you can do is like, tell the people what to expect when we take them to the air. We're a nationally syndicated show, so when we take them to the air, we don't need to waste 10 seconds of hey, yeah. Huh? What are you doing? What you doing? How you doing? How you doing? What's the weather like? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who gives a f. I need you to prep them and get them ready to walk out on the stage and to hit the ground running so that it's a better listener experience. Make sense?

[DJ Pre K]

I. I do what I can, John.

[Bobby Brown]

Well, I mean, hey, just tell them turn your radio down, be ready and be good.

[DJ Pre K]

[John Clay Wolf]

My kid is that bad at football? Serious? It's. It's. It's. It's.

[JD Ryan]

Would you say that on the radio he's asleep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, Lord. I wouldn't say it in front of him.

[JD Ryan]

I understand.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would never sit in front of him. I don't want to hurt my cup. No, but I mean, we're just talking about football and kids. It's that time of year, and, I mean, I went to his practice and I went out, walked out, got close and watched him, and I just shook my head and walked off. I just need to leave him alone. I don't need to get involved.

[JD Ryan]

Exactly. Leave him alone.

[John Clay Wolf]

Everybody's not perfect in football. Nobody's asking for perfect, J.D.

[JD Ryan]

I just want him to be good.

[Bobby Brown]

What's his level of interest?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, this time is high, you know, and. Well, both times, we did this at first grade, which is too young. We did it at third grade, which I guess was too young. And now, now it's seventh grade and we're doing it again. And this is school sports, not like, outside.

[Bobby Brown]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

And, you know, I told him all summer and spring, you need to throw that ball because he can. He can throw it. He can throw it well, but he cannot throw it consistently. And I was like, if you want to be a quarterback, which you have the ability in the build for, you got to really start practicing.

[Bobby Brown]

Where they got him playing right now?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, he went out for quarterback and they told him no.

[Bobby Brown]

And.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I went and watched the drills. I mean, he's throwing it into the ground. He's throwing it off into the stance. I mean, he was, like, so bad. I was like, oh, my God, somebody stopped this.

[Bobby Brown]

What position does he play?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, not. He really doesn't. So they moved him to receiver now. Okay. And he'll be fine. It's just. I just need to back off and not worry about it, probably.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah. Well, this is the time to do it, though. Sixth, seventh grade. If he hasn't been through the midget leagues and. And all that, you know.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Yeah.

[Bobby Brown]

There's time to do it if you're gonna do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Midget is a politically incorrect word, bubba.

[DJ Pre K]

Come on, Bobbo.

[John Clay Wolf]

Midget leagues?

[Bobby Brown]

What, are you going.

[John Clay Wolf]

What, are you really that insensitive?

[DJ Pre K]

Peewee.

[Bobby Brown]

Peewee.

[DJ Pre K]

Okay, but he's in middle school now.

[JD Ryan]

Because he wants to or because he's Trying to be like you.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He doesn't want to beat it. He does everything because he to. Wants to. He. I, I just wish he would. It's just. He just. Some people just naturally have that. I, I just, I think this round I just need to leave him alone, let him do his thing and see if it happens on its own.

[JD Ryan]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Trying to help him along and coach him along and practice him along has never helped.

[DJ Pre K]

Twist him up.

[Bobby Brown]

Just.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, let him figure it out.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't need to go to practice. I don't need to be the dad watching. I just need to let it go.

[Bobby Brown]

Well, it's fun to watch practice.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

You want to. I mean, just because you want to be part of your kid.

[JD Ryan]

But not when you videotape it and show your friends.

[John Clay Wolf]

Look how bad he is.

[DJ Pre K]

That's not a good thing to see.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who would do that?

[JD Ryan]

Nobody.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-7234 JD808 Matt. A 13, 100, 000 mile diesel Dodge. Four wheel drive, three quarter ton. 107,000 miles. Is it leather, cloth, cloth, long, better, short. ST or SLT?

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it have a power passenger seat?

[Listeners/Callers]

I can't remember. I'm not looking at the truck right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

I haven't seen it on the dash on the passenger side. Is there a cutout in the dash? It has a little tray for keys and glasses.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah. Yes, it has that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Boy, were we talking about you all earlier?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Brown]

Good morning.

[Listeners/Callers]

Good.

[Bobby Brown]

How's it going?

[John Clay Wolf]

We were busting Oklahoma balls this morning in our first hour on the east coast. It was so fun because we knew y' all weren't on yet and you couldn't be offended. But it's all good.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh yeah.

[Listeners/Callers]

No, that, that makes makes perfect sense.

[John Clay Wolf]

17F350. Is that a dually.

[Listeners/Callers]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's a lot. Typical. Not a dude that'd be too normal for a 1 ton to be a dually.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

We got to be. We're from Oklahoma. We got to make it hard. So it's a single cab?

[Listeners/Callers]

Oh, yeah, obviously.

[John Clay Wolf]

Single wheel, long bed. Is it Sooner blue, Sooner red?

[Listeners/Callers]

No, no, thank God. It is great.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And it's a lariat. Does it have a sunroof?

[Listeners/Callers]

It does not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sounds like a 40 grand truck to me. It might be 45. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up and I will give you a hard number online. 8008-0072-3480-0800-Radio. Now, we did come up with the theory. You said that out of 10 cities in America, the 10 most drug infested cities, Oklahoma holds two of them.

[JD Ryan]

Two of them. Once in Tulsa, once in Oklahoma City.

[John Clay Wolf]

I didn't figure Tulsa made the cut. Maybe my brother's full of it. Maybe Tulsa's worse than I heard. I don't know. 800-800-radio. 800-800-7234. What are you doing, J.D.

[JD Ryan]

Well, you know, what? Does it count if she's an alien? The Alien Cat House is a legal brothel. And where we are in Nevada, not far from Area 51, the classified facility some believe houses aliens and their crafts. The Alien Cat House offers as it you would expect sci fi enthusiasts and alien abduction themed room along with traditional, you know, brothel offerings as well. We have some audio here from Alien Cat House.

[John Clay Wolf]

We are a destination resort as well as a brothel.

[Listeners/Callers]

We have karaoke, we have free WI.

[DJ Pre K]

Fi, We have all kinds of things.

[John Clay Wolf]

For you to do because people come here and they stay because this is a sex vacation resort. Stuff that you want. From spankings to probings. They're available right in this room.

[DJ Pre K]

Wow. Sounds like they're taking a page out of Dennis Hoff's cat house.

[JD Ryan]

Did he have theme rooms?

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, yeah.

[JD Ryan]

I know you've been there.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah. Not participated in them, but yeah.

[JD Ryan]

No, you were there as a radio guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ed and Marilyn, good morning. You're on the air.

[Listeners/Callers]

Hey, good morning. How you doing? I was just listening to your story about your son.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Listeners/Callers]

And the football. And I just want to tell you I've been through a promise thing, bringing my son a baseball. He's 13 years I've been working with him. I'm sorry, can you hear me now?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, now it's better. Yes.

[Listeners/Callers]

I apologize. Okay. So my son's 13. For about six or seven years, I've been doing the same thing, working really hard with him on baseball. But it really Comes down to, what does he want to do? Because I wanted him to be a great success early on in baseball, because I wanted to be a big success. I didn't have the same, you know, training that he's had, but ultimately, it's just about letting them have fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think you paid somebody $120 an hour to talk about this.

[Listeners/Callers]

No, I paid somebody $120 an hour on several occasions to help them with pitching. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I was talking about a therapist. You know, I was talking about a.

[Listeners/Callers]

Shrink, because when you said, I'm doing that, too.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's got the trainers, he's got the shrinks. We're gonna make this kid a ball player one way or another, because he still has his dad, his ear, telling him he sucks and he's not good enough.

[JD Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that's really who did it.

[Listeners/Callers]

That's what he says.

[John Clay Wolf]

Your dad did it.

[Listeners/Callers]

You want to suck. Wow, my dad?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Your dad probably did all this. He started this screw in your head.

[Listeners/Callers]

No, he didn't. He didn't. And I really wanted to do it for my kid, but, you know, I just. I don't. I don't want to say I went overboard, but I certainly want to make sure that if he wanted it, I was going to give it to him. But I think I tried to push it on him too much. It didn't turn him off, but he's just like, let's play baseball.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Listeners/Callers]

He'll be good or you won't be good.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've got. I have three sons. This is the oldest. He's never been an athlete.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

He knows I'd love to watch him do well. Right. And I just.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just want his confidence to come up with having success in athletics, and I know he can do it. So I keep trying to sneak it in and promote it, but, like, try to do it sneaky, where it doesn't look like I'm trying to get him to do it, but he's smart enough to know it's really. Wow. Yeah. So I'm just like, forget it now. Now I'm just. After going to that practice the other day, he'll figure this out. They're doing it at school. After school. They go straight to the locker room. Just. I just need to forget about it. Just forget about it.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah. That's the way I used to do it growing up. I mean, when I was a 6th, 7th, 8th round, 10th grade. But here's what I did do, because it is a matter of living vicariously. If you're a kid, that is. I got him an electric guitar over Christmas, and he's been taking lessons at this sort of rock band camp place. And he's loving it and he's really doing well. So that may be his thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good. All right. Thanks for calling him in Maryland. Caller 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Heath. No, Brian in Heath, Texas. You've got a 18 raptor. Does it have the sunroof roof? There's like a different package. No sunroof. Okay, 18 with 1200 miles. Why'd y' all buy it? Decide not to keep it?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yes, sir. I bought it for a work truck. I own an air conditioning company.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Listeners/Callers]

And there's no way I'm working out of it.

[DJ Pre K]

Too nice.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Okay.

[Listeners/Callers]

Way too nice. I didn't want to destroy it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it 60 grand? Is that right? Is this extended cab or crew cab?

[Listeners/Callers]

Super cab. It's got the. It's not a crew cab.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a super cab. Then it's not 60 grand. That's probably what you paid for it, isn't it?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah, about.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I need to pull it up, but it's like mid-50s, maybe low-50s, but mid-50s. It's brand new. It just matters. What I need to pull up current rebates on the new Ford Raptor on the extended cabs and. And net one out and back it up three grand. That the way to figure the money on this is take a new one, go to invoice, strip out the hold back, and then bust back the rebates and then clip it three GS and that's the number. It's got to be a little bit cheaper than a new one or it won't move. Because why buy used one if you buy a new one? All right. Thanks, man.

[Bobby Brown]

Damn it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to givemetheven.com. give me the vin.com. take invoice minus the rebate, scrape out the hold back, which is another 3%. Then. So invoice minus rebate no, invoice minus hold back, then bust the rebates out, get to pure triple net cost, and then chip it. Three GS minimum, and that's the number.

[Bobby Brown]

Brilliant. There's the formula.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll be right back.

[Bobby Brown]

Wow.

[Radio Announcer]

Give me the vin.com presents the John Clay Wolf show. We'll be right back after this.

[Commercial Narrator]

I love your car. So easy. You can do it in your underwear. Oh, yeah.

[Radio Announcer]

We're back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

Prod me.

[Listeners/Callers]

Really, Norman?

[Radio Announcer]

Call it 800, 800 radio. 800, 800 radio. Now John Clay Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, hey, hey. So tell me about. Hang on. Let me bid a couple cards. Tim, a 17 RAM. Is it a SLT or a Larby? Okay, 17 RAM with 40, 000 miles. 17. We're 19. You know, it's mid-30s.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah, it's got the. You know, it's got the. The bull guard, and it's got the. The rails, the step rails, and it's got a. It's got a.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it have bull balls? It's not a body lift, but does it have bull balls hanging off the receiver hit?

[Bobby Brown]

No.

[Listeners/Callers]

Negative.

[John Clay Wolf]

Negative.

[Listeners/Callers]

She wouldn't let me hang the balls on her.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what I mean? Hey. Go grand. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up. We'll buy it. I want to buy it. Keith in Houston's got a diesel 17F250 Lariat with 42, 000 miles, four wheel drive, crew cab, leather, short bed. What color?

[Listeners/Callers]

Blue.

[John Clay Wolf]

Blues are blue. Average truck or clean?

[Listeners/Callers]

Clean.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sounds like 45 grand to me. I need to see pictures. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up. Jeep, Allison. Good morning. An 11 Wrangler Sahara with 145,000 miles on it. Is it a hard top or soft?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah, right. It's a hard top.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow. Where do you. You must commute.

[Listeners/Callers]

Well, I bought it like it was at 120.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotcha. Is anything wrong with it? Any lights on? Anything I need to fix?

[Bobby Brown]

Yes.

[Listeners/Callers]

Nope.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does 9000 buy in pretty good condition?

[Listeners/Callers]

No, I had a higher offer with Carvac.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much did they hit it at?

[Podbean Announcer]

11.

[Listeners/Callers]

5 is what they were.

[John Clay Wolf]

How long ago?

[Listeners/Callers]

This was about a month ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

Take a picture of that offer letter. Go to givemetheven.com, send it in. And if I don't beat it, I'll send you 100 bucks. Well, here's the thing. They saw it in person, so it took like when you took it to Carmax, that whole exercise took you a couple of hours, right? You had to drive there. You had to wait on them and drive home. So I'm just doing it off the cuff. I need to read their inspection report. Take a picture of that offer letter and send it in, and I'll. The markets changed a little bit since then on high miles, but not much. So if they were 11, five a month ago, go. I'm sure I can still beat it down today. I just need to see. I want to see pictures of the car. Turley wants to see pictures of you, and we need to see pictures of the inspection report. I'm kidding. Okay, do that. Thanks. 800. 800, 7, 2, 3, 4. And if I'd have done that earlier this morning, See, I wouldn't have done that.

[JD Ryan]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I've been all drained out.

[JD Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

800. 807.

[Listeners/Callers]

234.

[John Clay Wolf]

800.

[JD Ryan]

John.

[John Clay Wolf]

You could do it. Radio. Okay, so Otis, the drunk. We downstairs. We've been having HR problems this week.

[DJ Pre K]

Boy.

[JD Ryan]

A little bit.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[JD Ryan]

A little bit.

[John Clay Wolf]

We gave Turley a promotion. First thing that starts happening is wheels start falling off.

[JD Ryan]

Okay, people.

[John Clay Wolf]

Problem people. So I just found. Okay, so we have a. Like on the Andy Griffith Show. Otis, the town drunk, lets himself in jail and out of jail, and we have one of those that. That we know he's going to go on a bender. We've had him on the program before. You did Drunk Tom. You addressed it, and he got on the air with us, and he talked to us about it, and he'll start drinking and he can't stop.

[DJ Pre K]

He's addicted to beer.

[John Clay Wolf]

He should be a manager. He has the. He has the wherewithal and the knowledge. And he should. He should have. He should have been team four, actually. But his drinking keeps him from being a manager because he twists off and goes off the radar and just disappears. But it's okay because his old lady's got a good job. She makes good money. He makes good money here as a buyer.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. So he. He would rather have his drinking shoes than not.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Right.

[Bobby Brown]

But what specifically happened? I mean, we haven't seen him all week.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, he's. So this is his third different team he's been on.

[JD Ryan]

Okay.

[DJ Pre K]

And third different manager. Now is fed up with him.

[JD Ryan]

Well, people don't show up. It's.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, it doesn't call, doesn't text, doesn't say anything. So I text, text, text. Finally responds back to me. He's like, oh, I told my manager.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who'S his manager, Craig. Okay.

[DJ Pre K]

And I was like, no, you didn't tell Craig anything.

[JD Ryan]

See, if you're gonna go to Bender.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, I'm working at home. Which. No, he wasn't working from home.

[JD Ryan]

You gotta be like Bob, oh, you gotta call in early. You gotta make something good.

[John Clay Wolf]

You got.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah. This is the hardest job to get fired from anyway. Okay. No, seriously. Seriously. I mean there, there's a lot of friction and he can seem like a difficult guy, but John enjoys screwing with people. 1 and 2. I've never seen him tell anybody. You know, get your stuff and just get out. Right. There's always another chance. Here's what you do. You call in.

[John Clay Wolf]

I fired a few, but they gotta take me to the end.

[Bobby Brown]

It may be. It may be 8 in the morning, it may be 10 in the morning, but you call somebody. I would probably call either Connie or Turley, cuz John doesn't want to talk on the phone. But like, you know, listen, guys, here's the deal. I didn't plan this, but I wound up here.

[JD Ryan]

Okay, what is it now?

[Bobby Brown]

I've had three shots of tequila.

[JD Ryan]

It's 6:20 in the morning and it's.

[Bobby Brown]

It's gonna probably be 10 shots soon. And I may not work it in now. I didn't have anything that I'm working on today.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Brown]

Well, but I wanted you to know I probably won't be in today.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, and I'd appreciate it. But that's a sick day. That's fine. We have a company policy for that now. You get X amount of paid sick days.

[Bobby Brown]

Tell somebody something.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would much rather hear the story that you're drunk than you're sick. I hate it when people lie about sick. And I hate it when people lie about their kids. Yeah, speaking of that, we'll get into that.

[DJ Pre K]

Nine o'?

[John Clay Wolf]

Clock?

[JD Ryan]

Yeah, that as well.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh yeah.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh no.

[John Clay Wolf]

We have an HR lady that really keeps up with all this stuff.

[DJ Pre K]

Well, yeah, that's why we have Otis the drunk downstairs just not showing up. I mean, so what do we do with Otis?

[John Clay Wolf]

Did Otis. Did Otis the drunk? Is he on Facebook?

[DJ Pre K]

Oh yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Always. Always. So that's how you know he's alive.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh yeah.

[JD Ryan]

I was just about to ask. Has anyone actually heard from him?

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, I got a brief text and then actually J.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll probably hear from him here in a minute. Knowing him.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, on the air.

[JD Ryan]

He'll call.

[John Clay Wolf]

It wouldn't surprise me a bit.

[DJ Pre K]

And they'll admit it and then everything's okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's real upfront about it.

[JD Ryan]

Sure.

[Bobby Brown]

And he's a damned Oakland A's fan.

[DJ Pre K]

No, it's a Dodgers fan.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, right, right. Riley Dodgers. But that's even worse.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I mean, Otis the drunk, if you're listening, my next door neighbor is a co owner of the Dodgers. And if you'll come back, I'll introduce you to him and he'll give you free memorabilia.

[DJ Pre K]

But. Okay, John, so here's my dilemma on this. So everybody sees everybody downstairs doing stuff like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's his dilemma. Impossible to manage.

[JD Ryan]

Just vanished.

[DJ Pre K]

We've got all these buyers that work their ass off. And then Otis just fades away. Just kind of comes and goes, comes and goes.

[John Clay Wolf]

But Otis knows he's talented, and Otis knows he can p. He. His batting average is as good as the guys have to work for it. So that's why he does it. And he knows he could make more money if he. If he really sobered up and went clean. He just decided to live this lifestyle. It's like JD when he decided he and his old lady to be swingers, they decided to live the lifestyle. And notice the drunk has taken this lifestyle as his own. And. And he knows as long as he makes me money, I'm not getting rid of him. But the second you little son of a bitch, you slip and you get to where you're costing money, your ass is gone. Baba, you haven't seen me ever tell anybody get smoked. You haven't watched close enough. I'm really, really passive as long as they're making money. But when they start losing money, I'm really, really the other way.

[DJ Pre K]

Well, when they're not answering their calls to customers and stuff, the managers have to do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, all you got to do is flip. Okay, so boom. Take his book of business, swing it over.

[DJ Pre K]

Okay, so you gotta do. That's easy. We can do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Every time he leaves, just clean him out. Let him start over.

[DJ Pre K]

Okay, that's a great idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so what we're saying is every time Otis the drunk goes on a bender, we're gonna take his book of business, his customers, and we're gonna reassign it and scatter it out amongst the same team to his other fellow buyers. He's gonna lose his whole log and then he comes back and starts back over.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, that's a great idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Otis the drunk, if you're listening and you want to stop that from happening now, I'm taking away the Dodgers meeting. That's not happening. You better run your ass here drunk or sober, if you're real drunk. Have your old lady drive you, which she's done before. Got you here. And try to drink some, eat some like, you know, baked beans and some, some bacon on the way to wake them up. Grab a good breakfast burrito so you can sober down to save your book of business. Because if not at noon today, we're gonna flip it.

[Bobby Brown]

See, my theory is not even drunk.

[John Clay Wolf]

How many customers are in his book of business?

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, it's, it's large.

[John Clay Wolf]

10,000?

[DJ Pre K]

Maybe not quite that much, but close.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's worth a lot to him.

[Bobby Brown]

I don't even think he's drunk. I think he's just complacent. He's what we drinkers call just a beer drinker. Just a strictly beer drinker. Very irresponsible.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey now, irresponsible does not go in line with beer drinkers.

[Bobby Brown]

I'm a beer drinker. I'm telling you it does.

[DJ Pre K]

You're a responsible beer drinker.

[John Clay Wolf]

I sat in my pool.

[Bobby Brown]

You can be a functioning beer drinker, but you can be a beer drinker too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wednesday is.

[Bobby Brown]

People are complex. A long day, you're not doing it right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wednesdays are auction day. You know, we sell 400, 500 cars on Wednesdays. Yeah, and it's high stress day. I sat in my pool from 5p till 1a nice on Wednesday, nipping on beers. How many hours is that? 7, 8.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, you were wrinkled, weren't you?

[John Clay Wolf]

I was, I was.

[Bobby Brown]

That's plenty.

[JD Ryan]

Were you doing anything? I can't see you sitting for eight hours.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you know, you could. You got the music going, you got the Bose acoustic wave. You got your old lady in there, you're talking to her. Your kids come, you're kids go. My daughter came over for a while. She left. She's at her mom's this week, but she came over and spent. I, I saw everybody. Everybody just comes, comes and goes. And I just sat there and sipped on my beers and pulled them out of the yeti because, you know, you got to have that yeti because it makes it just a little bit colder.

[Bobby Brown]

All I'm saying is just a little. You bet you drank rum like that, you'd be in bed by night, you'd.

[John Clay Wolf]

Be dead and you'd wet yourself. You probably poop yourself.

[Bobby Brown]

You would drink for real. Get some sleep, Daddy.

[JD Ryan]

Poo in the pool again.

[John Clay Wolf]

So your, your method, Bob, is be a real man. Drink some liquor. Yeah. And don't pace it out like that.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, if you're trying. I mean, if you're trying to pass out. Do it to it, brother. You know, it's a slow burn.

[JD Ryan]

He's chilling, he's just relaxing. He's enjoying life. I'm happy to hear it, man.

[Bobby Brown]

That's what Otis has been doing all week. He's a beer drinker. Count on these.

[JD Ryan]

John's been taking care of business. It's different.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, that's that, that, that, that's the way to handle these guys that get the hooky disease. Yeah, just take their book of business. Because really it's not their book of business. It's my book of business. It's your book of business. And if they can't handle our customers and just flip them over and when they show up and they want to run another, you know, three months square link start up 800-800-7-23-4. Car business. People in no shows. Alcoholism and drug problems. This is not new. No, this is not new. I'm telling you. It's been going on for a long time. There's been a many officers going to car dealerships and take sales people and f and I guys and managers out in handcuffs.

[DJ Pre K]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh really?

[DJ Pre K]

We haven't seen that yet. We haven't gotten that.

[John Clay Wolf]

But no, because we're not, we're not living. We don't know. I'm talking about the Kia store. I'm talking about the Nissan house. I'm talking about the Nissan dealership, the Kia dealership, the Suzuki dealership. Dealership. The real dealerships. I mean the hand to hand combat wrestling mat.

[JD Ryan]

Here we go down in the.

[John Clay Wolf]

They got, they got the gangster shoes on and the fancy socks and they've got eight, you know, they've got 1200 suits that are knockoffs that they bought from the guy out of the, out of the van for 200 bucks.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, we don't have.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they're cheeseball lion pricks. That's a car salesman. We'll be right back.

[Bobby Brown]

Sell us your car. Give me the bin.com so easy you can do it in your underwear. Attention bully. When you need back to school supplies, there's only one place to go. The school bully depot. You'll find everything you need to injure and humiliate everyone smaller than you. Like the spring loaded retractable lunchbox opener for spilling up to five times as many lunch lunges. Pre printed kick me sign with peel and stick backing. Sure grip textured gloves for extra painful nurples. Pre moistened rubber fingers for more effective wet willies. And fully adjustable underwear vice grips for an amazing atomic wedgie. You'll find it all here at the school Bully Depot and get a free remote detonated lunchroom tray flipper with every purchase. And live from Dallas, Texas, it's Saturday morning. It's the John Clay Wolf show starring John Clay Wolf with JD Ryan, Michael Turley and Bobby Brown and featuring DJ Pre K, Rush Limbo, Keith Richards, Randy the Chipmunk and Satan, the Prince of Darkness. And now your host, John Clay Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

We had a good talk with Satan earlier, like two hours ago. If you guys missed some of the show, you can go to john claywolf.com the podcast goes up at 12 o'. Clock. You can get it there. You can just get it off the Facebook page at a John Wolf show.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah, he actually gave a list of who's going directly to hell. So I would listen.

[John Clay Wolf]

Celebrities that are going to hell, celebrities that are direct to straight to hell. Going straight to hell. He gave us a list of those people. Okay, so people who just joined. I know we just picked up like 10 more affiliates. Good morning, everyone. I need to. It's hard to transition into this story without start replaying it because. So we have a. @givemetheven.com we do this radio show. We're in a private studio that we've had for 10 years and we've got 10,000 square feet of office buying room full of offices and all the, all the givemetheven.com people. And we have a staff guy that is a good hand, knows what he's doing. He's been a good buyer, but he'll go on benders. We've had him on the show before. We call him Otis, like from the Andy Griffith Show. Lets himself in jail, lets himself out of jail. He'll just go on a bender and go away and you don't know where he went. And then he comes back, says, I'm sorry, but he does a good job. He has a high conversion rate, he buys a lot of cars. So we keep him going. We tried to advance him to a manager. He went on a bender. Had to bring him back down to a buyer. The guy absolutely has the qualifications to be a manager. But he goes on these benders, so he can't have the responsibility of it. Turley brought up the fact and the team leaders that he works on their teams, they get so mad at him that they say, get him out of here.

[JD Ryan]

It's frustrating.

[John Clay Wolf]

So he's on his third team or fourth.

[DJ Pre K]

I think he's the third team.

[John Clay Wolf]

Third team. Okay, we have six teams and he's on team number three. And his manager now wants him gone. And he's been gone since Monday. So I said, why don't we just clear his book out? Because, you know, when you work here, Give me the vin, all these customers, you get this book of business. His is probably five, 7,000 people. Sure. And we can just sweep it out and give it to the other buyers, and then he can start over. Because what's happening is it hurts me as the owner of the company and Turley as the manager of the floor that the customers aren't getting help when he goes on a bender because you can't see them.

[JD Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, so Otis, like I said earlier, I called it. I said, when we talk about this, he will call in to defend him. The only way to smoke Otis out of the, out of the snakehole is to talk about him on the radio. And he will come in and show up.

[DJ Pre K]

Now, you also have.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no, no. Hang on.

[Bobby Brown]

I can't believe he called.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Otis, good morning. You're on the air.

[Listeners/Callers]

Hey, good morning, guys. How are you?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm good. And obviously his name's not Otis, but it's a. It's a pen name to protect the innocent. I'm glad to hear.

[Listeners/Callers]

You know what I love, Andy? I love. I love any Griffiths, so it's okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I, I. You know, every time we've been through this, you've been very forthcoming. You want to talk about on the radio, and I figured you would again this morning.

[Bobby Brown]

Morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm glad that you came on the show. Otis. Where have you been for a week?

[Listeners/Callers]

I mean, I was at work. I mean, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday I was at work. And then. No, actually, Monday, I work from home. Sorry I lied.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you were at the office on Tuesday? Yes, for an hour. Okay. How long were you there?

[Listeners/Callers]

I'm not sure, 100%.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, they, they said one hour.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah, that's not true.

[John Clay Wolf]

Monday.

[Listeners/Callers]

It's okay. I mean, I get it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Monday, you didn't come in. Tuesday, you're here for, let's call it an hour and a half to meet the middle. So Wednesday, where were you?

[Listeners/Callers]

Wednesday was there for how long? Once again, not sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

How can you not be a lot.

[Listeners/Callers]

Of stuff going on right now, John? Okay, Because I don't know what time I left. I got a lot of stuff going on right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Working hours?

[Listeners/Callers]

No, but not at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so coming in, touching the desk, and leaving is not being at work. So what about Thursday?

[Listeners/Callers]

Thursday I called in or I didn't call in, but I texted Craig and the text didn't get through. And then Turley reached out to me and I'm like, dude, I. You know, I touched him, but I'm at home in my laptop.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, Friday.

[Listeners/Callers]

Friday's my day off.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what I love about you, dude. You got balls the size of elephants after all of that. Oh, well, you know, of course we gotta take our day off. I missed the whole effing week. Hey, man, this is is my day off. What about today?

[Listeners/Callers]

I'm in the parking lot right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, have you had any beers?

[Listeners/Callers]

Not today.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not yet. All right, well, I go ahead and go. Hey, dude, what. What time is it? 9:15. Run down to 7:11, grab an 18er, man, bring it up here. Let's get rolling, because I'm going to keep drinking this afternoon. I know you are. So we might as well have fun.

[Bobby Brown]

Amen.

[John Clay Wolf]

But let me tell you something, Otis. I'm sick and tired of this. You ain't Zeke Elliott to me. You ain't Dak Prescott. You're okay, and you're pretty good guy. And you know what? You could be if you'd finished it. But at this point, I'm losing love. So I am going to sweep your book out unless you get your ass in there right now and get to work and shut up. And the next time you do this, I'm not going to ask. I'm just gonna tell them to bang your book out and then you can quit and go on.

[Bobby Brown]

Go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go over to the Kia store and go over the Nissan store. Go. You know, talk about some big job you got as an F&I producer. And I took them from 30 cars a month to 180, and they were running 600 a copy. And after me, it was 3200 copy. Go tell the stupid lie that all the drunk car guys tell. I've heard it for years. Dude. I've been in this for 23 years. I've heard it all. You've got a good job here. We don't effortless with you. You can make real money, and you make a lot more money if you'd quit being a. A flaky drunk. But you are, and that's fine. But don't get on my show and start lying to me about coming into work and making me look stupid when you know the truth. So either go in and go to work and shut up or get the hell out for good. That's your deal. Okay? Over now. You. You there.

[Listeners/Callers]

No, I'M here.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. Make a decision. Stick with it. Okay. Hi, J.D. how are you?

[JD Ryan]

Oh, I'm doing great.

[Bobby Brown]

Damn, I need a hug.

[JD Ryan]

I don't think I've ever seen you go off on anybody like that. I mean, you do it to me. Biz a joke, but it was serious.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm just sick of flaky bs.

[DJ Pre K]

I. I'm. I'm dumbfounded.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[JD Ryan]

For which part of it that he.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was. Was here. I'm not. He thinks I need him. He thinks I need him. I don't need him. I thought he went to the bathroom and he went out the back door. I don't need him. I like Craig.

[DJ Pre K]

So he. Producer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Craig's his manager.

[DJ Pre K]

He sits across from him.

[JD Ryan]

Literally.

[John Clay Wolf]

Literally.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Zeke. Who?

[Bobby Brown]

Tuesday, Wednesday.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey.

[DJ Pre K]

I mean, that was very Jerry Jones. Like, Jerry today, this week. Got. He got fed up with him, with Zeke. He's like, look, I've had your back. He said this in the media? Yes. Yeah. He spent millions of dollars to back his Z, and he's gonna get treated this way. Hey, bravo, John. Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. Whatever, man. I'm just.

[JD Ryan]

How do you feel about that?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's the same thing, you know, you take up for a guy you let alone be. And I've got another one. I've got another problem. I've got the HR gal. Well, let's just call her Betty.

[JD Ryan]

What happened? I have no clue.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, I love Betty.

[John Clay Wolf]

Our HR gal?

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

The one that had the affair with Lieutenant Dan.

[JD Ryan]

Betty.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. That his wife came in and threatened to kill us all about six, eight months ago.

[JD Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

And. And. And then she left, and then we hired her back.

[Bobby Brown]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then all this.

[JD Ryan]

You're so nice to people. You really are.

[John Clay Wolf]

But. But I need. I liked her.

[JD Ryan]

I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

I like her.

[JD Ryan]

I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

And she did a good job, right? Pretty gal, sharp dresser. These buyers would come in, she'd train them. They're flaky. People are flaky. As stupid as this sounds, she was attractive enough that people would show back up. She'd keep a guy like Otis from hitting that bottle.

[JD Ryan]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Subconsciously. Hey, I'm interviewing. I'm interviewing this gal. She's hot, she's sharp. And now she's training me, you know, for two weeks. You're gonna have their attention because of her presence.

[JD Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so that. So that. What's that do? That makes me money.

[JD Ryan]

Makes sense.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because it gets buyers going. It gets it rolling, you know, some old pus, gutted, slobby, you know, bad tie guy. You got to meet them. You're like, oh, what kind of place is this? So, so her delivery and her parents is what I was like, okay, this is a good way to get people started. And it is. And it did. And it worked. So I'm putting up with some of her crap. But her kid, it's always sick. Always sick, always sick. I mean, it's been going on forever and then she's got to be here and she's got to be there and she's always sliding off in the shadows. You can't keep up with her. And it's just she. She works out at the auction, she runs the concession thing. Nice looking gal Wednesdays. Everybody likes her. Yeah, I do too, sure. But she lies. Oh, I didn't know about where she is. It's like a habitual lie.

[DJ Pre K]

And of course doing.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, she doesn't have enough responsibility. So I just let it go, go. Because, like, you know, pro, con, you know, whatever, when I need her, she's there and it works. But. But the silly ass lies. And then I took my eye off of her and I gave her to somebody else to keep an eye on. And he didn't do it. And. And she's just, you know, so she's getting back in her old habits and she's gone. Half the time is the truth. And we don't even know, huh?

[DJ Pre K]

And the lie was caught this week.

[John Clay Wolf]

The only reason it was caught, Turley, is because I. The only reason it was caught is because I took the spotlight out and put. Put it on.

[Bobby Brown]

I knew.

[John Clay Wolf]

I knew all along. And I was telling Tom to catch her. I'm like, listen, you catch it real easy. Here's all you got to do. All you gotta do is look.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah, really.

[John Clay Wolf]

Real, real. Here's a light. You don't need a spotlight. You need a flashlight. All you gotta do is look. I don't even know what's going on, but I can feel it in my gut, all over the place. Running cons, just making you think she's there. She's not, okay? And then this week she starts not sure. You know, it's just like a kid don't go into work. Does anybody calls anybody see? No. Because she really didn't report to anybody.

[JD Ryan]

Sure, once you get away once.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, sure. Well, go ahead.

[DJ Pre K]

Well, now saying it, she got herself caught. Really? I mean, just by.

[JD Ryan]

Is there something that happened? Are we getting to the story?

[DJ Pre K]

Yes. At 3 o' clock in the afternoon on Thursday, you know, working the desk and everything, all of a sudden I get a Call from this Betty.

[John Clay Wolf]

Betty, Betty.

[DJ Pre K]

And she. She's like, hey, hey, I've got a couple cars here. I'm gonna. I need to. I'm gonna sell. My friend wants to sell, and you can't. No, don't give it to your old team. No, no. And I mean, just stop.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just. Was she with Otis the drunk?

[DJ Pre K]

Blasted drunk. And I'm like, what?

[John Clay Wolf]

What?

[DJ Pre K]

I was like, hey, where are you at? Phone hung up.

[JD Ryan]

Oh.

[Bobby Brown]

I'm like, oh, could you hear honky tonk music?

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. I knew. I knew. So a minute later, she calls back, hey, I'm. I'm at the doctor's office. It was a little loud in there. My kid's sick. But, hey, my kids sick. Yes.

[JD Ryan]

That he said.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hands down, the best show on radio. He has a standing ovation meme. That's funny. Well, it's just, you know, and that's why we, you know, paid the extra money and had the lawyer draft up the agreement. Nobody knew what so that we could talk about this and I don't have to worry about getting sued.

[JD Ryan]

No one can ever say and didn't know that was going to happen.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no. It's because it's happened before. Oh, absolutely. We can talk about, I mean, the Office. What's the most popular radio, what TV show besides Seinfeld? Right now it's the Office. And this is the kind of stuff that people like to listen to. So we make radio and content and drama out of real life.

[DJ Pre K]

Real.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's very real life. You can't raise. Write it.

[JD Ryan]

No, you couldn't. You couldn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Betty, back to Betty. We got Otis the drunk. He's. He's downstairs buying cars if you want, if you put, if you go to givetheven.com and you want to give Otis a, you know, a hand put on there. Please assign this one to Otis and he will call you Right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

We got Ken with his gay dog. Ken has a gay dog? He does, Yeah. I don't know if he's a gay dog, but. But the dog, you know, he's got a little lap dog.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he sure is frou frou.

[Bobby Brown]

Little.

[JD Ryan]

Little pug.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know how dog qualifies. Like takes a gay test.

[JD Ryan]

Give you all the wood.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, he'll give you all the wood. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.

[Bobby Brown]

So Betty, I'm shocked. I'm shocked by this thing cuz I'm like. From my point of view, she seems like she. She does a lot of stuff. She's everywhere. Every time I see her, she's.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, here's what she does. She runs up and she makes a scene. She lets herself. She's a hustler, Bob. It's. It's real simple. And she runs up, she'll bring me iced tea with perfect ice and everything perfect. And making sure she. She's a real service oriented person and she makes sure that she gets you covered and it gets in your mind so you saw it and now you're good.

[JD Ryan]

She was.

[John Clay Wolf]

She knows how to work me. But she didn't realize that I didn't understand her hustle. And I just let it go. I'm like anybody that's willing to work me that hard, then they're better than most people that think there's. The girl's smart. That's why I hired. Super duper smart. But she's partier and she's out, you know, all she. She goes out at night a lot. That's where I met her. I was sitting at a bar. She was crying because she just got fired from some foundation she worked for. She said. I said, how much did you make? She told me, I said, I'll pay you that show up the next day. And she didn't think I meant it. And I was like, yeah, you're hired. I need an HR person. I need a person to hire buyers. And you're pretty and you're smart and you come across well and you're nearby.

[Bobby Brown]

She's pretty good trainer and everything.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we had to. Did we. Did we fire her once or did she quit once?

[DJ Pre K]

Kind of quit, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

For the same stuff.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Brought her back. And then when we brought her back, had her sign a damn inch thick worth of pre re engagement documents. We can fire you at any time for anything, do anything. I mean, basically, you have no rights. You've. You've. You've exhausted all your rights. I'm gonna give you another shot, another chance. And so then Thursday, Thursday I saw.

[Bobby Brown]

Her Wednesday at auction. And she was worker be that day.

[John Clay Wolf]

Absolutely. And then she slides out after the auction. And you can't put your finger on her. Nobody's looking for her. So she goes and put. She goes and does something else. She may have two jobs. It's like a man that runs two families. Seriously? Sure, sure. She's got that much hustle in her. If she take that hustle and apply it to work. I mean, she works like two and a half solid days a week. Like, I'm gonna work those two days. I'm gonna impress the hell out of everybody, right? So yesterday, Thursday. Thursday, she calls Turley from a bar drunk, and wants him to bid a car. He calls me and says, hey, man, this thing's kind of weird. I'm just letting you know. Betty called Turley and said, I need you to be the car. And she's wasted. He calls me and says, hey, she's wasted. I'm like, yeah, okay.

[DJ Pre K]

And her kid's sick.

[John Clay Wolf]

And her kid's sick again. Always. Oh, God. I mean, her kid gets sick, she goes to Florida. Our kid gets sick. She, you know, you see her Facebook and from New Orleans. I mean, it's just. It's. It's so silly. It's not even worth looking at. What's my point?

[DJ Pre K]

Well, so then at that point, you said to go to her person that's over her, which is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Connie. Hey, is Connie here? Get her to come in. Will you text Connie and have her come over here? Because I know she's. She's working. I don't think she's at the bar. Not yet, anyway. Connie will work hard on a Saturday morning so she can drink on Saturday afternoon. It's a weekend day. She knows how to do it. Connie. So. So then I called Connie. God, I forgot how.

[Bobby Brown]

What time was she calling in?

[John Clay Wolf]

Like, called him at 2, called Connie.

[Bobby Brown]

At 4 in the afternoon.

[John Clay Wolf]

Kids sick. I'll tell you what got me perked up is the sick kid lie again. And this time she Said, my kid is at the hospital.

[DJ Pre K]

102 fever.

[JD Ryan]

Oh, very specific.

[DJ Pre K]

It went up actually later to I think 103.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I sent Tom and everybody an email. Said, tell Betty, Betty, you're written up. If you do this again, you're smoked. And blah, blah, blah. So she fires back, I'm giving my two weeks notice.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

[John Clay Wolf]

Betty? Yes. Yes. Oh, now I remember what happened. I put a. I put a. She wrote back, I'll bring a doctor's note from the hospital to everybody. And I'm giving you my two weeks notice. And I'm going to prove to you that you're accusing me of something tonight. And what did I say, Connie? You.

[Connie]

You. You actually told her to send you a picture of her at the hospital. Thumbs up to prove that it was her.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then I wrote right back.

[Connie]

And you wrote back, you said, or to prove us all wrong, why don't you do a little video of you at the hospital? She said, he. You told her, if you do that in the next five minutes, I'll give you 200 bucks.

[JD Ryan]

[Bobby Brown]

What happened at 9 in the morning?

[John Clay Wolf]

She fire. She fires Connie, an email in the middle of the night, says, I hope you're happy. You finally got me run off. And then. But here's the most beautiful part about it. The next. So this girl has a big afternoon, big evening and big night. Well before.

[DJ Pre K]

Even before the next day at 10, she contacts our IT guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh yeah. She sends a mass text out to everybody.

[DJ Pre K]

Yes. So she knows. She called our IT guy Hammer drunk. And he's listening to her talk and his wife is like, who is that?

[John Clay Wolf]

[Bobby Brown]

I'd have been running to the hospital.

[John Clay Wolf]

And remember up to this point but I said in the next five minutes so that she didn't have time. She, she's a hustler enough to do.

[Bobby Brown]

That 10 minutes, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. But we were back and forth enough during this email chain that you couldn't say oh, I didn't see it. Right. Because it was real time and it was five people on the email chain.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So then she never responded. And then she hit Connie in the middle of night and Called anyway, shows up, shows up to work the next morning after telling everybody to kiss her ass, basically, and acts like nothing's wrong. I'm gonna. Here's what I'm gonna. And here's what's on her mind. And, you know, she hadn't been to bed yet. I'm gonna out. I'm gonna work my way through this.

[JD Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna impress everybody so much. I'm gonna remind John of why he likes me. And he keeps putting up with this crap. And I'm gonna do all this stuff whiz bang style and get on it and show what a great worker I am. And that was yesterday. So Turley came to me, he said, you know, that she's here and she's not. She's acting like nothing happened. She's acting like she didn't quit. She's acting like she didn't get caught. She's acting like. And. And then I talked to Connie and I said, let's just see how the day goes. We'll talk about on the radio on Saturday.

[JD Ryan]

Perfect.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because that's why we have. Everybody has some of those releases. And here we are.

[JD Ryan]

Now what do we do?

[John Clay Wolf]

So, Connie.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now what do we do?

[Connie]

I think it's time to cut ties.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, she. She gave us her two.

[Connie]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now, last time when she kind of pseudo quit, she ran to the unemployment.

[Connie]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

She ran to the unemployment office and started trying to gig us.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

For unemployment. So if she quit this time, gave two weeks notice, do you still have to pay unemployment?

[Connie]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Connie]

Yes, positive. Because she initiated the leave. She's said, I'm leaving. Here's my notice.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah. When you quit, you don't get unemployment. That's a fire.

[Connie]

You walked away from your position.

[John Clay Wolf]

But she's going to argue, you know, and I thought about this. She's going to argue in those emails. She never said, I quit. No, she did.

[Connie]

We all have a text message, but no.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, text message. Yes, we all do.

[Connie]

And we all have an email.

[John Clay Wolf]

The email says. The email says I'm giving my two weeks notice. But that's not for my. She's such a hustler. She could say, two weeks notice for the Columbia record House deal.

[JD Ryan]

You stop sending me Phil Collins CDs.

[Bobby Brown]

Eleven CDs for a penny.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm telling you, that's what you're dealing with. So in the text messages, she said I quit?

[Connie]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or did she say, I gave two weeks notice?

[Connie]

No, she said, consider this my two weeks notice.

[John Clay Wolf]

For what?

[Connie]

Do you mean for what?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm telling you, she's going to go back down to the unemployment office and she's going to argue that that is not what.

[JD Ryan]

That there's no way.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, you haven't dealt with the unemployment.

[JD Ryan]

Don't do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You have not dealt with the unemployment office. Oh God, my insane. Insanity, ridiculous waste of time.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah. Not dealt with them.

[John Clay Wolf]

They are on the side of the employees. So even when they're bold face line. Connie, if I'm wrong, tell me, have you ever had an unemployment hearing go your way? Where the, where, where somebody's. I mean you've been involved in 20 of them. Yes, they have these recorded hearings. J.D. your hearing will be at 2 o' clock on Tuesday. Be at this phone number. So everybody calls in, has a trial on phone to argue their side of unemployment.

[JD Ryan]

I give my two weeks notice is universal for I quit Universal.

[DJ Pre K]

It's in writing.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So turn. What was she really doing? I mean, what, what are we missing? We're missing the gal to serve. To, to, to order the food at the auction and serve. Okay, that's easy to fix.

[DJ Pre K]

Taking in resumes and doing the front.

[John Clay Wolf]

Side of interviewing them and then training them. Because she was a buyer member. I wouldn't let her move to that until she bought 50 cars. And she did buy 50 cars. And that's going to be a problem. So that's going to, that, that, that's the only problem that's going to hurt is you don't have a person that is a buyer. If they're not a buyer and don't know how to run our system. They can't teach it.

[DJ Pre K]

I can. I mean, I can do it. Well, I mean what's your total after.

[Bobby Brown]

What's your total time investment in betting? I mean, how long she been around?

[John Clay Wolf]

Year.

[Bobby Brown]

Is it one year down combine both.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, about a year.

[DJ Pre K]

We have, I mean we have other employees that could do it too, that, that are perfectly capable of doing a training. You know, maybe kind of give them a little.

[John Clay Wolf]

If, if we, if we take the two weeks notice and we don't. We say, okay, we accept your resignation.

[Connie]

You make it effective immediately.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, you just. Okay, you do that.

[Connie]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then we don't have to pay her unemployment.

[Connie]

No, you don't have to pay her. She's done.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what? I'm gonna bet you, I'm Gonna bet you $20 that she will be at the unemployment office and we are going to have to pay her unemployment.

[Connie]

Okay, I'll take that back.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, good.

[Connie]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because what that'll do is I get her working harder on it.

[JD Ryan]

Love it.

[John Clay Wolf]

So do you think we should cut her loose?

[Connie]

Yes, please.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you are you hereby right now accepting Betty's resignation?

[Connie]

Yes, I am.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, okay. Well, that's too bad.

[Connie]

I've already printed it all up.

[Bobby Brown]

We're good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So you do before you came in. So that day of work yesterday that she performed, that was so impressive. I don't know if you saw those emails and work flying around. Oh, no.

[Connie]

Yes, it was.

[John Clay Wolf]

It didn't. It was not enough for you to say, no, it's okay about lying about lying about taking days off and lying about your sick child, but being at the bar all night.

[Connie]

Yes. And then to top it all off, she takes care of something in Vegas yesterday. And then she's like. She. She peeks in my office, and I was like, you really have the nerve.

[John Clay Wolf]

To come see me because she called.

[DJ Pre K]

You out, like, personally, right? And text.

[John Clay Wolf]

And she.

[Connie]

She came and saw me. She goes, they need to be paid for the stuff in Vegas. And I was like, okay, just have them call me. I'm on the phone with you and Tom. I think it was. Or maybe I was on the phone with Jeff, and I'm talking and the guy calls, but we're in the middle of talking about something important. And then she blasts me with Tom. They're waiting for you to pay them, Connie, but you won't answer your phone. And I was like, pay them on what? For doing the locks changes in Vegas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, why do we change the locks? Is Jim.

[Connie]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was he drunk?

[DJ Pre K]

Probably. I don't know. I mean, that's another story for another day.

[Bobby Brown]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Chuck. Good morning. You're on the air.

[Listeners/Callers]

Hey, John. Clay Wolf. I think you should run from Maine to Fort Worth. I'll leave you alone.

[John Clay Wolf]

You think I'm good at working out people problems and making good decisions?

[Listeners/Callers]

I. I think you make. I think you'd make a hell of a mayor for Fort Worth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Thank you. Carl. Carl Hot Carl in the Rocking 88. Carl Hot Carl and the Cleveland Steamers 14 Challenger RT with 100,000 miles in leather. What color?

[Listeners/Callers]

Red.

[John Clay Wolf]

$11,000.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[Listeners/Callers]

Okay, thanks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hot Carl did not like the $11,000 on his hundred thousand mile mopar. Okay, so Connie, do you think she's gonna grovel? Do you think she's gonna bring the whole kid thing up and the this and that and plead to do a better job?

[Connie]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

If she does, what do you gonna do?

[Connie]

Nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you say?

[Connie]

I'm just gonna tell her she gave her notice.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Connie]

She called us all drunk.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. She lied.

[Connie]

She lied. She lied and she lied because she. What time did. Because remember she said I'm going home with my son from the hospital right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Connie]

She texted me at one in the morning saying when she blamed me and she said I'm just leaving Cooks now. Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, why did she take a video? Get her 200. Yeah, exactly how many times has she lied about her dragging her kids into the lie?

[Connie]

I don't have enough fingers and toes for that one.

[DJ Pre K]

That's insane.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what gets me. And you know that. That was my trigger on that deal. And then on Otis's deal, what triggered me was when he said and then Friday was my day off. That's when I lost it. You know when you screw up and you lie and you screw up, you lose your day off. Off. It's lost. You need to make it up and try to impress people that you know you screwed up by working your day off maybe for a few weeks and then you're a rehabilitated alcoholic.

[JD Ryan]

As far as she goes though, when you, when you get to that point, you've told so many lies to so many people, that's not even a big deal anymore. The thing about the kid in the hospital, you've told so many lies so many times, it didn't even occur that that's bad.

[Listeners/Callers]

And I'm looking for a job, too. I think I've got all the references. I. I'm in the car business, and I am an alcoholic, which seems to be a prerequisite to work there.

[Listeners/Callers]

Hey. Hey, John. How you doing, man?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm good.

[Listeners/Callers]

Hey, I heard that. That guy trying to steal my thunder right before me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you enjoyed the last hour of radio?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah. Well, the thing is, like, I'm listening to you, and I usually drive back and forth from Beaumont to Austin. I'm a DJ up in Austin, and I've had car dealers drooling over me to try to get me to work for them. And I was just. I hear what you're saying about Otis and Betty, and I think I could steal their job, no problem.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, and you're a dj. So I mean, you could steal Bavo's job too. I mean, you could like fill three. Three deals at once. And pre KS and Turleys.

[Listeners/Callers]

Oh, I know, I know. And I totally could. I mean, I. I'll still, I'll still rock my DJ business. That's. That's just what I do. I'm. I'm a smooth talker. I would like to think.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we don't need a smooth talker. We don't need a smooth talker. Here's one thing people need to understand in what we're doing. We're not selling cars. We're buying cars. We don't need a smooth talker. We need somebody that can. Can converse well, work smart and get the information needed and follow up with process. Every time somebody thinks they're going to get smart and go outside the process, they screw up. It cost me. Money is what happens. And Bobbo, I know you said earlier you've never seen me smoke anybody, but when, when their conversion rate. We pull up the chart of all the 50 buyers and when the conversion rate gets to a point, I'll send Turley an email. I've done it plenty times to fire him, but really they suck so bad that you didn't even know that they were here. So nobody missed them. It was like. It's like if a tree falls in the woods, does it count? Account.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Scott. I gotta keep rolling.

[Bobby Brown]

I preface that by saying, you know, I've never really been in the car into the business, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hell, you have it. You work for me at the Ford dealership.

[Bobby Brown]

That's how I missed that you worked.

[John Clay Wolf]

For me as a salesperson at the Ford dealership.

[Bobby Brown]

I never saw you smoke anybody.

[JD Ryan]

We all saw him smoke his contractor.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah, I did smoke the home builder. Yeah, he did. But you put up with a lot. I put up with too much. I put up with too much.

[JD Ryan]

That's the thing you do.

[John Clay Wolf]

I try to avoid pain in and breakups are painful. And I try to be non confrontational and just we're growing so fast. There's so much going on, I try to avoid it.

[Bobby Brown]

And it's common knowledge that I don't smoke anything, but I've never seen you smoke anybody in the car business.

[John Clay Wolf]

Elise. Good morning.

[Listeners/Callers]

Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

I have a feeling you're the same lady that emailed me 30 minutes ago.

[Listeners/Callers]

Not I say the ducks do what? Not I say the duck.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Because that was at least two a lady named Elise emailed. What it say? It said Same thing. You're what? Anyway, tell us your position in all this drama.

[Listeners/Callers]

Okay, so here's my position. How many times have any of us said, well, you to your boss?

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on, hang on.

[Listeners/Callers]

How many people have actually done it to their friends face?

[John Clay Wolf]

Elisa, you can't. You can't say that on FCC airways. I just dumped you out. So we start over, huh?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's her.

[Listeners/Callers]

I am so sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's her. Oh, where do you live? She lives in Luis. No, no. How many times have people said f you to your boss? And how many times have said it in their face? Okay, so. But. So what's your position? You said she's not in the right state of mind, says we should give Betty a break since she was drunk and not in the right state of mind. Is that right? Yep.

[Listeners/Callers]

It's. I feel like it's the same rule that applies with taking a drunk person home. The drunk person says, yeah, we're gonna get it on. We're gonna have a great time. But when they wake up the next morning, I don't remember saying we were gonna do this. Next thing you know, you're getting those shiny bracelets and having to pay out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, well, here's your own hard earned money. Here's what you don't know. Elise. Is that Betty's Betty? We've been through a few rounds with her, so. So I. I have a friend that's missing an arm. He lost it in a motorcycle wreck, and he had a run with her, and that's how I met her. And he's got a lot of money or used. He's. He's a wealthy cat, and he probably, you know, made her life easy. And. And then when she got here, she took up with a married man that has one leg. This is a very attractive woman, by the way. Okay. This is true. And, I mean, Turley's wife actually got on him when he saw her and said, you better not. I mean, like, wives of. Of male employees here were mad at them already, and they hadn't done anything.

[JD Ryan]

They could just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nobody had done anything. But all. All the women of the men's. All the wives of the men that saw this woman were already busting their balls about her, and nobody did anything. So anyway, she did take up with Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if you listened to the show a long time, but Lieutenant Dan's a guy who lost his leg in an accident at the auction, and she took up with Lieutenant Dan, and then she went off. She just vaporized like Otis, the Drunk one day, we couldn't find her. And I was like, okay, okay. If I was Betty, where would I be? Where would I be? So I started driving, and I started looking, and I went 45 minutes out of town, and there's a sawmill out there. Big sawmill.

[JD Ryan]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Listeners/Callers]

Huh.

[John Clay Wolf]

And right across from. It's a bar.

[JD Ryan]

Bar right across from the sawmill.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I. And I just had this intuition feeling. Where would I go if I was Betty?

[JD Ryan]

Good feeling.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know what I like. Yeah. I like a missing one. There's a big sawmill, and there's a big. Big machine shop right there. And there's a bar across the street from it. And I went in there, and I pulled up a. I pull. It's like a Quentin Tarantino movie. I walked in there. The fans were going, yeah. And I walked in there, and I said, I thought I'd find you here.

[JD Ryan]

There she was.

[John Clay Wolf]

She was sitting there tending bar.

[JD Ryan]

Why, of course.

[John Clay Wolf]

She was waiting for the next guy.

[JD Ryan]

Waiting for the next.

[John Clay Wolf]

And so I talked. I said, you don't need that. You don't need. You don't need your guy to have one less limb to make yourself feel better. You need to stop this pattern. You got to quit it. You got to come.

[Listeners/Callers]

Was it safe to say that she didn't have a leg to stand on?

[John Clay Wolf]

And we'll leave with that.

[Bobby Brown]

Betty's prosthetic fetish.

[John Clay Wolf]

Boy, is it made out of oak.

[JD Ryan]

Scene dismount.

[John Clay Wolf]

800. 807. We can't go to break, can we? It's too early. This be the perfect time to shut the door and go to break. Break. But we can't.

[Bobby Brown]

It's just great.

[JD Ryan]

Great.

[John Clay Wolf]

Scene three, act two. So, Jim Pruitt.

[JD Ryan]

Jimmy Pruitt? Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

The old radio star.

[JD Ryan]

Old radio guy. Stevenson Pruitt from Houston. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're talking about people that just can't help themselves, right?

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You live in Dallas in the 80s. There's a drug dealer that lives four doors.

[JD Ryan]

Four doors down from me. Correct. And this is just an average neighborhood. I'm, you know, I'm just a radio guy not making a ton of money. Jimmy, on the other hand, was a very, very wealthy morning guy driving a red Ferrari. So I live in a real average neighborhood. So he looked down one day, and there's a red Ferrari. Like, I know Jimmy drives four houses down on this young lady's house, who we all know in the neighborhood is a drug dealer. And there he is walking out with a bag. I'm like. I walk up to him and go, good morning, Jimmy, he looks at me like, good morning. Wonder what's going on. You know, if I was you and I'm just gonna buy some drugs, I wouldn't bring the red Ferrari. Maybe bring the Chevy next time. And he's like. And he got in the car, went down the street, gone.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Magnum PI Whips in the dope house and grabs him a sack and he's a huge radio star in Dallas.

[JD Ryan]

In Dallas, fourth on Billboard.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's why I'm in radio. When I'm in fourth grade, I'm riding with my dad to work in the morning. I would ride to the office with him at 6:30. And then one of his hands would take me to school and I'd ride to, to work with my dad every morning and we'd listen to Stevens improve it. And that's really where I came. The reason I'm doing this is because your drug addict friend. So I have to have some patience with people.

[JD Ryan]

You do.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, something's got to be a little wrong with you to want to make a living talking into a pipe.

[JD Ryan]

Wow, it's a great job.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's a great job. It's not for everybody.

[JD Ryan]

Now he used to line up lines and put a little paper towel of him in the newsroom and think nobody would know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on. Andy. Andy, are you really in Lincoln, Nebraska, or is that just where your phone's from?

[Listeners/Callers]

No, I'm serious. I live in Lincoln, Nebraska. Listen to you every morning.

[DJ Pre K]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

J.D. he, he, he wants Otis's job. Otis has a second chance. He's downstairs earning his keep right now. So, but we, well I, I have.

[Listeners/Callers]

A, I have a degree in the University of Alcoholic Anonymous.

[Bobby Brown]

New pair of glasses.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.

[JD Ryan]

You know, and they showed. One of, one of our employees showed up the next day and said that didn't happen. And she started going back to work. I had a girl, an ex girlfriend who, real similar situation one Saturday. She drinks almost a half a bottle of vodka, knocks it back with some Doan's back pills. Oh, so I can't get, I'll go upstairs. Can't get her awake. Call the ambulance.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that where the name Limp Biscuit Band was? Came after?

[JD Ryan]

No, but it was a good idea. So we took her to the hospital. Pumps pump her stomach, get her back home that night, get up the next morning thinking, here it is, we're gonna have our big come to Jesus meeting. Sit around and go, okay, now what do we do? And she looked at me and said about what so they just blank it out.

[John Clay Wolf]

About what? I spent six hours with you and.

[JD Ryan]

Pumping your stomach in the hospital. What do you mean about what? So anyway, the point is they sometimes just blank it out.

[DJ Pre K]

It's hard for others to do that.

[Listeners/Callers]

Or black.

[JD Ryan]

Everybody else has seen it. Yeah, everybody else has to live with the and why.

[John Clay Wolf]

It doesn't matter. We'll be back in a minute.

[JD Ryan]

That's true. He doesn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Pretty reliable for a white black guy.

[DJ Pre K]

Hell yeah. I'll be working my ass off.

[John Clay Wolf]

Speaking of drivers, forgive me the vin. We need more pictures with our customers for the auction lanes because I looked up this week and our picture counts are low. And it helps when they can see the owner of the car. It makes them trust the Car more.

[Bobby Brown]

And some of those shots are terrible, by the way. Don't reinvent photography. We don't want a shot of it looking away at the back end of the car or all up in the camera looking at the front end of the car. Yeah, you know, let us see the whole car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Use a little skill, please.

[Bobby Brown]

And common sense, Please.

[John Clay Wolf]

In a mobile home in the background with goats around, it probably doesn't help the value of it.

[Bobby Brown]

Hey, how about that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Look at your surrounding. If you see. If you're taking a picture of this nice car, there's a mobile home behind it. Why don't you flip to the other side and take a picture of the highway instead? Appreciate that. Okay, DJ Pre K. Speaking of, what's your. Bro. Zetta, bro. Zetta Stone. Where DJ Pre K enlightens us on hood slant rap rhyme, teaches us white boys how to talk ghetto. What have you got this week?

[Bobby Brown]

You are now about to witness the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Strength of street knowledge. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

You already know, man. I'm gonna put y' all up on game this week, okay? Because this week's Rosetta Stone word of the week is Thuca.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thuca. Oh, this is just. This thing is really grown legs. Thuca.

[Bobby Brown]

Thuca.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right? When you thought that there was no more. I mean, he stumps me deep.

[DJ Pre K]

Every week somebody actually uses this word.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, man. Yeah. You know, Thuca.

[DJ Pre K]

I got that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thuca.

[DJ Pre K]

I can give y' all some synonyms.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what? Before you do anything.

[Bobby Brown]

What's up?

[John Clay Wolf]

What's up? I want to put this out to the listening body, the listening audience. Y' all call in and tell me what a thuca is, because I know that none of us crackers have any idea what a thuca is. Call in 800. 800 7234. I guarantee you it's going to be somebody from Houston.

[Bobby Brown]

Well, you know, John, even in the dark, you know you've got the Thuca.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio to let us know what thuca is. And while. While we're waiting on those calls to come in, I'd like to talk to Randy real quick because he's been wanting to talk.

[DJ Pre K]

Maybe Randy knows what thuca is. He's down with the homies.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you damn right about that. Damn, we the homies. Do you know what a thuca is, Randy? Thuca. Don't ever say that to me again.

[JD Ryan]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

Why would you call me that?

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Oh.

[JD Ryan]

Oh, he knows.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nah, I'm just screwing around. Damn, it's hot. Outside. Y' all spend any time outdoors? Holy, holy, good Lord. Thank goodness for the America's Best Value Hotel eight over on Expressway. You know what I'm talking about?

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

How do you get little hoodie out there a little bit hood, like they got a good pool. Oh, you really good food. They let us swim all we want after 11:00pm at night. I mean, they don't really know we swim out there, but yeah, we like to go see the regular pool. City pool.

[Connie]

They won't let us in.

[John Clay Wolf]

They won't let us in.

[JD Ryan]

I understand that. Because you're an animal. You're not supposed to be in the city pool.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, not all of us. You can get one or two into the shitty pool, but you take the whole bunch, it's kind of. Somebody spots 12 or 14 chipmunks, they're gonna call. They're gonna call animal control.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you'll wind up in a ASPC PCT detention camp, which is a drag. They do have pretty good grub. Guys, I think I have thuca answers. Vegas, Austin, Lawton, Oklahoma, Stillwater, Oklahoma, and Fort Worth, Texas. So we've got a lot of people wanting to describe what souk is, but if you really want to swim, better just to sneak into the one with America's best value.

[Bobby Brown]

That's it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just don't let the owner catch you. Because for all of their talents and qualities as human beings.

[JD Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

A Pakistani will eat your ass. So watch it, boys. Baby's hot. They'll cook a. They'll cook a chipmunk.

[Bobby Brown]

I don't know. That's crazy.

[DJ Pre K]

He ran away real quick. Scamper dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're really showing my shiny Side there.

[Bobby Brown]

Who are you talking to?

[John Clay Wolf]

Gentler John Michael. You said what now you there?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yes, sir. I just seen one time I was working and I other hand wasn't my hand. I put up in about a year. And I told him, I said, man, I'm getting my two weeks notice as soon as I get back yard. And I didn't know. The boss walked up behind me and he said, what's gonna do that? Might as well quit now. Of course, that's all I needed, you know, and went to the house.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go.

[Listeners/Callers]

And of course, five days later, they came and asked me to go back work. But not you. Give you a two week notice, you out of the picture. And if you quit, you're out of picture.

[John Clay Wolf]

Michael, where do you wait, where do you live? Would you like to come to give me the VIN and be the HR director?

[Listeners/Callers]

You just give me a little old room in the back or something for me and my dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because you got away with words.

[Listeners/Callers]

A day.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bryson, Texas, you got away with words.

[Listeners/Callers]

People say, I don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or you could just explain it real clear. You could. You're out of the picture. So we got to have the dog too.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah. I mean, seriously. Yeah. You don't even think about trying to draw. You quit and you give me two weeks notice. That's quick. My boss thought it was. Yeah, it is. That's true.

[JD Ryan]

Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow. I love it, I love it, I love it. Just if y' all see me walking funnier this week, it's because I injured myself day before yesterday. Wait, today's Friday? Thursday morning. I'm getting ready for that cutting event in horses. Horse cutting.

[DJ Pre K]

Celebrity horse cutting.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, the. The celebrity. The carrity right in during the NCHA Futurity at Dallas Fort Worth in December, they have a celebrity cutting night, and it's a charity called charity.org and I was asked to do it, but I haven't ridden cutting horses in 20 years.

[JD Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, 20 years. And you know, I got hurt bad on a motorcycle and I'm like, I need to go see if I can do this still. And I can, but. But I'm out of shape. And the second trip, you know, I was chasing the cow around, running wide ass open, and this horse really starts chopping it up and going back and forth and we're getting down. It's a blast. I was having a blast. And my back just went.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, no.

[DJ Pre K]

I mean, just disc.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's pulled a muscle or tore muscle. I thought I cracked a rib.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, you lost your breath. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, it was weird.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I. I've been. I've been. I've been screwed up. It's gonna take a little while to. I mean, just from a momentum shift.

[JD Ryan]

That fast, you're not used to that. The horse is. I mean, he's just going back and forth, back and forth.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that trainer he talks about, like, that last guy. Well, boy, that's too bad. I haven't seen that old turnback horse work that smooth in years. You had him going.

[JD Ryan]

It was going, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was whipping his ass with the reins. Getting down.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, go.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, and then I just backs out, like, out. Like, what you gonna do now?

[Bobby Brown]

I'm going home.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you coming back? Yes, I'll be back. I just need to heal first.

[Bobby Brown]

Can't breathe.

[DJ Pre K]

Speaking of whipping things, like what you do at the auction, we've got some auction audio.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's always fun.

[DJ Pre K]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

We play real quick transporters with. Not drivers. Two car enthusiasts, three car trailers. I don't have one of my own. I want to hire you with yours. If you have a friend that has one. Go to jobsgivemetheven.com we're looking for regional day runs in D.C. i should have announced this while we were on the air. On the east coast, still, and Louisiana. And Dallas, Fort Worth, mainly Dallas, Fort Worth. Running to Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Corpus Midland. Lots of Midland. So go to jobs. Giving it. If you have a transporter friend that hauls cars, we need to hire a few more.

[DJ Pre K]

Go ahead and don't be a racist.

[John Clay Wolf]

We put the shout out last week. Turley interviewed a guy.

[DJ Pre K]

Okay, kid, you not.

[John Clay Wolf]

He had his own truck and trailer. He came in to interview for the job.

[DJ Pre K]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And Charlie did not bring him on as a vendor because he said he's an Indian fellow, correct?

[DJ Pre K]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was, like, Pakistani or, like, American Indian.

[DJ Pre K]

No, no, Pakistani.

[John Clay Wolf]

He said, it's all fine, but I will not deal with black people.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Holy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did he really tell you that?

[DJ Pre K]

Because I told him, you. You know, we have to have our drivers handle the paperwork. And he. And he's like, well, let me just tell you, I don't have black people handle the paperwork. I'm like. I was like, okay, we're done here.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is that?

[DJ Pre K]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I know.

[DJ Pre K]

He followed up, of course.

[JD Ryan]

How do you say that in an interview?

[DJ Pre K]

Well, he followed up with, oh, of course. I'm not racist or anything. Oh, no. My mind just went.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hold on.

[JD Ryan]

Let me look up the definition real quick. There's your picture.

[John Clay Wolf]

So for whoever writes some Stupid email to some station saying that we said something silly. You better get it straight. We shot the guy out the door because he's a racist.

[Bobby Brown]

Turley, I, I would give anything for a picture of your expression at that point.

[JD Ryan]

No kidding.

[DJ Pre K]

I was looking around a million.

[JD Ryan]

He looked like Oswald right when he got got the bullet in the gut. Yeah.

[Bobby Brown]

No, cuz I mean despite his nasty, nasty habit of practical joking, like ethically, morally, Turley's the gold standard around here.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what are we doing at the auction?

[DJ Pre K]

So this is great. So of course you know we have. I don't say it's secret auto, you know you're being recorded because online all the dealers can see and hear what's going on. The action.

[John Clay Wolf]

I have a headset on and so.

[DJ Pre K]

We played this one, this little clip and I think it's worth you playing again of you just stopping down. These are cars or you know, fifty thousand, a hundred thousand dollar cars running through the lane in 20 seconds. John had to stop the auction for this very important question.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think he's irish. Here's what's going on.

[DJ Pre K]

Cody's just going on and taking bids and people are bidding money.

[JD Ryan]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's what's going on. You want to know the, the behind the scene on that? They're not getting us the pictures. Our drivers that pick up the cars from the people are not getting us the photos of the people with their cars, which I like. Yeah, I put them up on a big Jumbotron so the dealers can see the owner with their car. Cuz they judge the car's condition based off of the way they see the owner. It's just true.

[JD Ryan]

Of course.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we don't have any damn pictures this week. So I'm looking at. It came from this person, it came from that person. So I'm slow. I'm going to make them think, you know, I'm trying to create a picture. Not that Puerto Rican would make a car worth less or more.

[DJ Pre K]

But you're saying a sexy one. That's what you're trying to say.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, female driven is worth more. More money. So when I see ladies names on there, a lot of times I stop. This is owned by Darice, blah blah or Ethel. So and so I'm like okay, so let's think about Ethel. How many young punk kids do you know named Ethel? Right? None. They're all older, old lady. How many people named? Probably is. Is Ethel's car worth more than Hannah's should be. Yes, that's the point.

[DJ Pre K]

Speaking of Hannah and strippers so remember weeks ago we had a stripper stripper bus. Sold it at the auction. Right, right. Well, the company that bought it was buying another vehicle online. And John and Cody, our auctioneer had a little stand up routine about that whole situation.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what he bitched about the air conditioner not working on it on the stripper bus. So I told him I'm gonna send.

[Listeners/Callers]

Him half his money back and we're.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gonna partner that because I wanted that.

[Listeners/Callers]

Car in my life.

[John Clay Wolf]

Still glad to know that we're partners.

[DJ Pre K]

On.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go ahead. Four, five, six. He's still bed two five, two.

[Listeners/Callers]

I can guarantee him the air gonna.

[John Clay Wolf]

Be better than that 15 Lexus than.

[Listeners/Callers]

Is in that big black bus.

[John Clay Wolf]

That big black bus is up 2 5, 2, 6.

[Listeners/Callers]

Number 29, 40.

[John Clay Wolf]

Way less diseases than that Lexus 2.

[DJ Pre K]

This just the standup routine. On to the next car. I can just imagine Cody just if he went to his own little standup mike night. And he's doing his whole thing, little one liners just.

[John Clay Wolf]

He and I work together so much. It's very much like how we all feed off of each other and step in. We know our dance and he and I are at the point where we got our dance smoothed down. Is there any more him?

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, well, one more. There was a. Apparently there was a run for a particular item at our lane. It's of course at 16 to 17 at Manheim, a run on this particular product.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, show them the watermelon stand.

[Listeners/Callers]

5000 and we've got the biggest crowd with it.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I'd like to buy more watermelon in the future. I'm about sick of these $1,500 food bills every day.

[DJ Pre K]

So apparently the biggest crowd, not for a car, was for the watermelon.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. When they brought out the sliced watermelon, the people came, started jumping over the fence and bum rushing the whole lane. Yeah, I could.

[DJ Pre K]

It was like not ice cream stopped.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not shape, not, not, not ice, not, not icies, not cones, not pizza. Watermelon.

[JD Ryan]

Maybe a little confusing because you guys, you provide food out there as well.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. To the dealers. And we, we. That's something else Betty was not paying attention to is the food bill. It just kept growing and growing and growing.

[Bobby Brown]

But anyway, course after course after course, I mean, they give breakfast burritos and they give meatballs and they give sausage on a stick. Then they have egg rolls and you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Know, the Indian people, the Muslims come up any. Is there any bacon in those, in those breakfast burritos?

[Bobby Brown]

Any pork?

[John Clay Wolf]

They're all Shaking her down over pork.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah, it's all.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we have a non pork breakfast burrito and a pork breakfast burrito because we love our, our Muslim dealer body. Of course they're, they're, they, they ship the cars across the seas. I mean like the high mileage Lexus that made a lot of money. It's because it's a shipper.

[Bobby Brown]

Now to their credit, the non pork burritos are made from schnauzer.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, are we out out or.

[DJ Pre K]

Doing any fallout with the big. We need to say bye to a couple networks too. Dallas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh yeah, Dallas. Go to john claywolf.com click listen live. The stream is there for the next hour. We're going to lose Dallas and Houston right now. Everybody else will hang on for hour number five of today's presentation. And if we lose you, jump over to the stream or Houston. Jump over 97.5. I think they carry the last hour as well. We'll be right back. Long way from home.

[Bobby Brown]

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you nip on beer or, or whiskey? No. If you go to liquor, you won't make the duration or I wouldn't.

[DJ Pre K]

If you, if you just slowly do.

[John Clay Wolf]

It, your body breaks one down an hour, right?

So if you're in there for six hours and you have eight beers, you're not going to be wasted.

[JD Ryan]

Oh, no.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah. But with just one shot in the drink and just kind of do that an hour.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does your wife call you lazy and start harassing you?

[DJ Pre K]

No, she knows that's downtime.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll just ask for a friend.

[JD Ryan]

I wonder if he ever has downtime. You work harder. You too work harder than anybody I've ever seen.

[DJ Pre K]

That's the time.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's it. It's. It's. It's part of the business, man. A guy told me one time, now football's coming. Oh, yeah, when he was. When he interviews people to be a buyer, not. Not an office buyer, but a wholesaler, he'd walk around their car with them and like, show me this and show me that. And then they get to the trunk and open the trunk and if there was golf clubs in it, he's like, we're done.

[Bobby Brown]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. A 16 Nissan Frontier with 8,000 miles on it. It says SD. What's SD mean?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yes, sir. SV. It's just SD model.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know. I know what the V is. Pre K. Just wrote it down wrong. So is it a four cylinder or a six cylinder? Cylinder.

[Listeners/Callers]

It's a six cylinder.

Okay. And it is a crew cab or extended cab?

[Listeners/Callers]

Crew cab, and it's a SV crew 4 liter with no miles on it. What color?

[Listeners/Callers]

Automatic.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Every once in a while you'll still have one. A stick slide in on you. I think it's worth 17 grand.

[Listeners/Callers]

Oh, no. Oh, that's. That's a little lower than I was expecting.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it worth?

[Listeners/Callers]

Anywhere from 22 to 25.

[John Clay Wolf]

You can buy them new for that. Go check. You wouldn't believe. I know. They sticker for 32 grand, but after the rebates and after all the fluff and pump and dump, you can buy them brand new for mid-20s. But thank you for calling 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

So it should be a pretty good game. And of course the Cowboys preseason game plays the Texans at Jury World. It's also at 6 o' clock central time tonight. Tonight.

[John Clay Wolf]

So there's two games on tonight and I'm going to Smashing Pumpkins with Rob.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh no, that's a good show. Don't miss that show.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not, not over a damn.

[DJ Pre K]

The preseason game. Don't worry about. You don't really care about Miami and Florida, you know, I hear you but if you were, you know getting home and early.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is there a west coast game?

[DJ Pre K]

No, there's not. Those are the. That's, that's the only college football game today.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[DJ Pre K]

And then the Cowboys the preseason but the first half is probably gonna have their starters in so you'll see a little more dak and I imagine there will be a news probably if not today, this coming up week Zeke signing.

[JD Ryan]

So I was going to ask you from someone who doesn't follow that, what's up with Zeke?

[DJ Pre K]

He'll be signing.

[JD Ryan]

Okay, he's done.

[DJ Pre K]

It's going to happen. It's. He's not going to be the highest paid running back. You know there was. It's all negotiating. That's all this whole thing was. And Jerry get finally got upset. I mean he was tired of this.

[John Clay Wolf]

He dealt with Otis long enough.

[DJ Pre K]

Yes, he was tired of the Otis thing. He's like hey, I've earned earned the right to because he cracked some jokes about, you know, Zeku ziku right here.

[John Clay Wolf]

In the right one.

[DJ Pre K]

You're spending millions of dollars on the guy to cover up his mistakes. Yeah, he earned the right to say.

[John Clay Wolf]

He sued Roger Goodell in the commission over Zeke Elliot stood up behind him.

[DJ Pre K]

Now for something that when he wasn't even a cowboy when he was in college, Jerry had his back on something like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

And how many times has he been arrested since he's been a cowboy twice.

[DJ Pre K]

When he has never been been arrested. It's always just police been called or you know, never really taken in grabbing a woman's getting in a car accident.

[Bobby Brown]

You know, just dumb stuff. If you want to know what it.

[JD Ryan]

Sounds like when John Clay Wolf finally goes off on somebody download the podcast this afternoon about 2 o'. Clock.

[DJ Pre K]

It was better than what Jerry did.

[JD Ryan]

It was a lot better. Boy, was it good.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was good. Well and if you want to see a Big Ken's gay dog. Go to the John Clay Wolf Show Facebook page. It is real and that dog is in our office. And it's unbelievable that we allow it, but it is so decorated, like a five star general.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah, he's got a big gold chain on. Laying back in a bubble bath. Dog in a bubble bath.

[DJ Pre K]

I've never seen anything like that.

[JD Ryan]

Ever.

[John Clay Wolf]

Never. Okay, I got a bunch of calls. I got this, I got that. What do you got?

[JD Ryan]

What else we have? Okay, well, this kind of relates to some story you told. One time, John man was apparently upset with his children for not getting out of bed.

[John Clay Wolf]

My dad beat me when I was.

[JD Ryan]

Asleep and going to church. Yeah, this guy was mad for his kids not going to church. So what do you do? You hit him with a guitar until the guitar broke. This guy's name is.

[John Clay Wolf]

I hope it was an acoustic Lama.

[JD Ryan]

It was electric, actually. That heavier Tapamana is his name. This is out of Salt Lake City. And of course he was charged with beating the kids with a guitar. He beat him until it wasn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

It sounds like it could have been a sitar. Wow. What's the name again?

[JD Ryan]

Yeah, never mind. You're correct. Anyway, 14 and 17 year old boys and this guy got arrested for that. But yeah. John, you were doing something in your dad.

[John Clay Wolf]

He got me up early to show me what ranch work we needed to do that day. And then he left and I went back to sleep for a while because I knew I could not knock it out before we got home. And when he came home, he came back an hour later for something. And I was sleeping in bed and he took his damn metal stitch cowboy belt. Officer beat me with it while I was asleep.

[DJ Pre K]

I woke you up, huh?

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was unnecessary. It was unnecessary roughness. 15 yards.

[JD Ryan]

That was totally unnecessary.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was unnecessary.

[JD Ryan]

I was. The Virginia man was on his porch when he saw the Swiss body video. There, Michael. A tree falling under his neighbor's daughter's car. His name is Billy Tatum. And we have a play by play of this happening.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sounded like a beer can getting flattened. It just was. Crunch.

[JD Ryan]

It was.

[Listeners/Callers]

I hate to say it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was kind of cool, you know? I mean, what guy what you know, doesn't like, you know, destruction?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah, you know, that's why we go to demolition derbies.

[John Clay Wolf]

But hey, you know, bottom line, that's.

[Listeners/Callers]

That poor girl's new car and she can't get to school.

[JD Ryan]

Now what I'm thinking is maybe he's the new HR guy from Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

Same kind of delivery. Yeah.

[JD Ryan]

Hey, man, let me tell you something.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wouldn't it be great to have a guy like that HR now let me tell you something, honey.

[JD Ryan]

Sit on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Get out of the picture. Here's the picture and you're out.

[JD Ryan]

You're not in. Notice something about this picture.

[John Clay Wolf]

You ain't in it.

[Bobby Brown]

You should have had a clue when you catting around with Lieutenant Dan six months ago.

[JD Ryan]

Oh, it's our new HR guy.

[Bobby Brown]

Had all this trouble down here the other time. Who the hell do you think you are? Zeke Prescot?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, no. See, Prescott, Jim and Beaumont.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Golden Triangle, Arizona and Hawaii is on tonight. What? What time does that show start?

[Bobby Brown]

Midnight.

[Listeners/Callers]

It's a late game that in Hawaii courses late game.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I'll catch it like nine to midnight or something.

[Listeners/Callers]

I'll be at midnight or something like that. Poppy, you'll still be on or going on pretty late. Probably don't start till 11. Hawaii time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can I get some football on when I get home from the concert? 12 Lariat 2012 Lariat. Do you really want to sell it or are you just calling in about the game?

[Listeners/Callers]

No, I called both actually. You actually hit it about two months ago to tow your screener and. But I had to get my trailer inspected so I couldn't release it at the time. But you know, I made it sell it.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you.

[Listeners/Callers]

If the offer's good enough, that is.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did we offer you last time?

[Listeners/Callers]

You hit it at 33 before. It's got 58,053 miles. One owner course, perfect condition, leather, nav, moonroof.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is there a title or is there a everything?

[Listeners/Callers]

Oh, no, this title.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, do you still have the email from the people? Have you ever put it into our system?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah, I was taller. Did. I forgot his name, but it's kind of a funny founding name, but Garo or something like that. But anyway, yeah, he did put in the system.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on. Let's have some fun. So what was his name? Gerardo.

[Listeners/Callers]

Well, don't hold me to the names. I don't have that paper in front of me.

[John Clay Wolf]

But a Gerard. I don't have a Gerardo. I'm just trying to think of who it could be.

[Listeners/Callers]

A different name. Don't hold me to the name. But it was kind of.

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I think it's funny. Did you ever see that movie?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was a movie? I. I quote it all the time. Oh, gosh. Well, Fargo, Fargo with the Minnesota people. I don't know. What's his name? You know, he's just funny looking. Funny looking? I Don't know. Funny looking probably. Domingo. Could it have been that?

[Listeners/Callers]

It could have been. It could have been. I don't have the paper with me. But he did, he did send an offer but you know, email offer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, Jim, go to givethevin.com. click contact us. Say I'm ready to sell my truck for 33000 and your phone number is going to match back up with your file in our computer system and it's going to throw it to the proper buyer and we will get you a check cut and we'll get it picked up Monday or Tuesday.

[Listeners/Callers]

Okay. And that was my cell phone that called on before. This is my office on where I'm at now. So the front number would be different but I'll get it sent out to you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah. When you send it in I'm put you on hold and let pre. Pre K get your information so he can find. Find your file.

[Bobby Brown]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Pre K please grab Jim. We're buying his truck on line three. Get his numbers so we can figure out who has the deal. That's from two years ago, isn't it? With a do was that.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh yeah, that is. That's old one.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's so weird how I used to get so worried when I'd go to the auction with this many cars and now I'm not actually. I'm worried when we don't have enough because when we have more it works better and if you don't have enough you don't get it doesn't work as well.

[JD Ryan]

Just the energy and the just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just the buyer base.

[JD Ryan]

Oh okay. That makes sense.

[John Clay Wolf]

The more cars, the more buyers. The more buyers, the more it flows and they see the less gaps in market. It's very odd. So you know, we. We buy 500 to 700 cars a week and we need to do it. I'd take more. It's a lot. 800-800-7234 Mike in Fort Stockton. I'm gonna have to see information on this. I don't know off the top of my head what a race truck's worth. So take some pictures. Go to give the vin.com take some pictures of the engine and spec out the. The mods on it a little bit so we know what we're talking about. You there.

[Listeners/Callers]

That sounds good. Thank you sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just don't know. I mean if I knew I'd tell you but I am.

[Listeners/Callers]

Sir, can you hear me?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Yeah, thanks. Yeah. Just load it up. Thanks.

[DJ Pre K]

Race truck.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a modified for racing is what.

[DJ Pre K]

It Says, man, that's.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. So we're planning an event. I'm not announcing it. Well, we're not on in Dallas right now, but I. We've got an event for the spring. We're trying to put together a big car show, and you get on a racetrack and run your car in a drag track and drag your car and have the RV guys set up an expo and have the card manufacturers set them an expo. It's at the biggest place you can imagine up the street. And because I was like, man, if we're going to do it there, we got a. We got a big. That's big. And there's nothing worse than having a bar that's half full.

[JD Ryan]

Small event at a huge place at that big place.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a big place. I know it's a big place. And I'm like, if we're going to do it, we need to do the whole infield. Camping, rednecks with paychecks vibe. Everybody bring their toys out. Because they'll come from the whole listening area if we do it right.

[JD Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

They'll load up all their big trucks and trailers and toys and cars and come stay for the weekend.

[JD Ryan]

We got to sort of be out there all weekend is too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah. So we'd have to broadcast from there. It'd be, It'd be quite the undertaking. But I, I. We have the horsepower of the network, not just here, but around. Everybody's kind of nodding their head like, yeah, let's go for it. I'm like, man, this is a big.

[DJ Pre K]

That's huge.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know it.

[JD Ryan]

Maybe music, too. Like, bands.

[John Clay Wolf]

You gotta have something.

[JD Ryan]

You gotta have something.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, like the Rolling Stones. I think the draw is running your car on that oval and running your rate, your drag car on the drag strip next to the oval and then having a place on the infield to camp.

[Bobby Brown]

What is. What is. What does that cost to do?

[John Clay Wolf]

There'll be sponsorships to take care of that part.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

And a lot of coordination. Like I said, this isn't an announcement.

[DJ Pre K]

Nugent out there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, he lives in Waco.

[JD Ryan]

It's a great idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's actually a great idea.

[Bobby Brown]

He's probably out there now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ted's a friend of the show.

[JD Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's actually a good idea. But I mean, that it's so such a big undertaking. I just wonder if it'll work.

[JD Ryan]

We could interview him about politics.

[John Clay Wolf]

That rednecks with paychecks thing is really popular. And that's kind of what I was like, okay, I've seen This work. Maybe we could make a mud pit. Maybe we could do the pool. Maybe we could have them. I mean, there's enough room there to do anything you want. I don't know. We'll see. 800, 800. 7 2, 3, 4. We're having a big meeting on it on Wednesday. So I'll let y' all know more next weekend. But, you know, we kept talking about a big concert. Concert, concert. And Live Nation has all the concert bands locked up, so you got to kiss their butt to work around them. I'm like, let's just do our own.

[JD Ryan]

Get somebody like Ted who doesn't care.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, yeah, he. He's not working for anybody.

[JD Ryan]

Get Larry the Cable Guy to come out, be comedy it. Be perfect.

[DJ Pre K]

Just redneck it all the way.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to town. Go to town. Go to town. Craig and Baton Rouge, good morning. You're on the air.

[Listeners/Callers]

J.C. hey, hey, how are you? J.C. can you hear me?

[John Clay Wolf]

I can hear you now.

[Listeners/Callers]

Outstanding. J.C. you're a good Southern guy. Okay, Good Methodist Southern guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

I gotta.

[Listeners/Callers]

I got a Southern question for you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay?

[Listeners/Callers]

How do you pronounce the letter W? Do you say W or do you say W?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. W, O, L, F, E. W. Yeah.

[Listeners/Callers]

W. W. Say W. You're a good Southern boy. W. Just looked at. I just looked at your bio. You were a slave in a Chevy dealership just like I was. Only I was in the back of the house. Chevy master automotive technician for about 14 years. And I got out of it. And you know what it is? It's, what have you done for me lately?

[John Clay Wolf]

Were they paying you 27? Were they paying you $25 a flag hour?

[Listeners/Callers]

I was, I was, I was making. I was making when I left, 26, 50 flat. So. But then they said, work Saturday. And I'm like, the money for technicians.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you will attest to this and anybody listening, the money for technicians is in the diesel side. If you're a master diesel tech, that's the highest paid job in the house, I believe. What do you think, dude?

[Listeners/Callers]

If you're a diesel tech, right now, you can write your own ticket. If you want to go to work in any of these diesel shops anywhere, anywhere you can, you could be making 40 bucks an hour. But you gotta. You gotta produce. I mean, and it's something that young, younger people aren't doing anymore. It's really hard to find automotive techs or diesel techs. Either way you look at it. It's, it's, it's a. It's a dying Breed. And maybe you might have some insight on it. But what is the industry going to do in the next 10 or 15 years when all of us guys that are 50 years old right now are getting ready to retire and nobody else wants to do it? Maybe you've got some insight on that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think we've answered raising the price. I mean you just said what, what those diesel techs are making and guys listening, I wonder what my boy's gonna do. Wonder what my nephew's gonna do. You need to get his ass in diesel school. I mean if he's gonna be an accountant, send him to college. But, but if you want him to make a hundred thousand dollars a year as a mechanic, get him in D diesel school. Because it's there. It really, really, really.

[Listeners/Callers]

But you know, it's, it, it's difficult when, when they sit in front of a, a video monitor or a game station when they get out of school all day and they don't even go outside and play. You know, it's, it's difficult to get that, that mindset into a younger, a younger generation. I mean there's a few but there's not as many as like when you and I were growing up.

[John Clay Wolf]

I have to go to break. I'm getting a big red light to go to commercial break. Craig, load this Camaro SS up into givemetheven.com. the computer will bid it immediately. We'll follow up with a phone call or an email. All right, my name is John Clay Wolf and I buy cars on the air for givemetheven.com.

[Bobby Brown]

And I picked him up.

[John Clay Wolf]

This song kicks ass.

[Bobby Brown]

See you get to send people's heads. You get it into people's heads that this is Something people should talk about that we should talk about.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bumper music.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah. Well, yeah. Are you just reading an email? Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Guy just sent us a deal. It's a bumper music. Last week kicked ass.

[Bobby Brown]

That's probably your. Your good buddy Austin. TX Blast Beat.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it's Ricky Dale Devine.

[DJ Pre K]

Finish what the whole thing said.

[Bobby Brown]

Mr. Slipknot said.

[John Clay Wolf]

This one week. Last week's bumper music kicked ass. This week's. Okay, but this is a pretty good song. Maybe you're recovering with this one.

[Bobby Brown]

What's his name? Ricky.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Brown]

Screw you, Ricky. It's my job.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Brown]

Not you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wow, you just lost a listener.

[Bobby Brown]

B. Yeah, I don't care, Ricky.

[DJ Pre K]

Now for the next. At least you did that. Waited to the last 30 minutes of the show, John. I just saw it all showed.

[JD Ryan]

He'll pass me in the hall on Wednesday and go, Ricky.

[Bobby Brown]

You know you will, Ricky. I'll start calling people Ricky.

[JD Ryan]

Ricky. Oh, yeah. What is it, Ricky?

[Bobby Brown]

What's the problem now?

[JD Ryan]

Ricky? Ricky. Now you're big enough to be a Rick, you have to be a Ricky.

[Bobby Brown]

Yeah.

[JD Ryan]

What else is going on this week? Oh, you know, Hasbro's a great company, a massive toy company, right? Brought us things like GI Joe and Monopoly and Transformers and My Little Pony and Power Rangers. Well, this week they have joining forces with Death Row Records, a label synonymous with, of course, Dr. Dre and of course, Snoop Dogg and Tupac. More important, more precisely, they've basically one bought the other one. But what a strange bedfellows that makes a toy company known for My Little Pony. What?

[Bobby Brown]

Hasbro bought Death Row Records, Is that correct?

[JD Ryan]

They actually bought, purchased.

[John Clay Wolf]

Be careful. You might offend an employee of the Denver radio people and they might want to complain.

[JD Ryan]

They actually purchased a company called Entertainment One, which is a multimedia company that owns, of course, Hasbro.

[John Clay Wolf]

So indirectly. Indirectly, Hasbro bought Death Row Records.

[JD Ryan]

Indirectly.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's insane. Suge Knight would roll over in his cell.

[Bobby Brown]

That's why I bought one of those little R2D2 astromech droids a couple weeks. That's why it says who that is.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's terrible.

[DJ Pre K]

They don't say who, dad.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who dat.

[JD Ryan]

Strange things happening in Missouri. Authorities in Jefferson County, Missouri, are investigating after residents reportedly finding creepy little cloth children's toys posed at odd locations around town.

[Bobby Brown]

Oh, I saw that.

[JD Ryan]

Yes, we have some audio here called Doll Prank. Police say they have received calls about the dolls and some of which were found without heads and others had their hands sewn to their faces. Weird, weird stuff.

[John Clay Wolf]

I really thought this was A great kids next. You don't need to dump it. But it's just not. It's just not.

[Bobby Brown]

The audio from is weird. I. I saw a deal on TV about it and it's weird.

[John Clay Wolf]

From a distance, it looks like a person. The hands are sewn to the face. There's no face on it. If you were to see that from behind, that looks like a little girl. Hands on its face looks like a little girl crying, holding up against a pole. I've only seen a couple of times. I don't want to do this. This is in the zone of what we discussed. We're not going to do.

[Bobby Brown]

It's not crazy. It's a crazy deal. This is happening, by the way, in two. Two cities of kind of a rural county in Missouri. People are leaving these dolls around.

[John Clay Wolf]

So that. What was the email from the guy? Speaking of reading emails, there was a guy and it made me think of that hemorrhoid bit from. From the jerky boys.

[DJ Pre K]

Oh, this is the new haiku.

[Bobby Brown]

This is crazy.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Okay.

[Bobby Brown]

Last week we had a haiku.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, haiku. What they're saying is John sent me.

[Bobby Brown]

A haiku and it said, you know, here's. Here's.

[John Clay Wolf]

I send emails to Bobo in weird stages, like half asleep or had a few beers. Just a thought hits me and I fire it to him because I figure we've been working together so long now.

[Bobby Brown]

He'Ll know that I can read your damn mind and you don't have to actually express things in words that anybody can understand. I understand exactly. See, I get you. See, I just did. Said the haiku.

[John Clay Wolf]

Said, and I quote, haiku is a. For those of y' all who are not familiar, a haiku is a very odd poetry. It can be diagrams, it can be blots. It can be just random abstract s that nobody can understand.

[Bobby Brown]

There are specific criteria for an actual haiku, but this is close enough to it. It said, and I quote, weekly, and there's a colon there. Weekly colon for when we need spots. That's all. Weekly colon for when we need spots.

[JD Ryan]

I get that.

[John Clay Wolf]

But then I attached something, didn't I?

[Bobby Brown]

Not at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

But that means I forgot to the attachment. Now I'll do that. Last week, I'll do that. 20% of the time, I'll forget the attachment.

[Bobby Brown]

That was last week. This week you did attach something, and it's a. It's an email from somebody with a car. The cell says message. My car doesn't run. It needs some massive work done. Can I still submit the info?

[John Clay Wolf]

On it.

[Bobby Brown]

I still owe money on it. So I saw the attachment, read the attachment first, and thought, oh, John's gonna bank on this guy. Because of course we don't want the car. It needs massive work. John says, jd, will you read this on air? Bob, will you find a Jerky Boys drop that goes along with it? So I'm thinking a Jerky Boys drop that goes along with an old broken. Wait, there's more.

[JD Ryan]

What?

[Bobby Brown]

Here's the part. And I actually went downstairs immediately to ask JD if he understood. And then John says, I'm hearing this in my head. I can't come in today. I've got a massive hemorrhoid. Was there a massive hemorrhoid jerky Boys bit, or am I dreaming? Now at this point I'm thinking, what the hell does he want? Because the email is about a guy, you know, listen, my car's broke down, needs massive work.

[JD Ryan]

Can I still submit the info?

[Bobby Brown]

I owe a lot of money on it, right? Can I still submit it? There's the email. And then John says, JD read this on the air. Bob, find a Jerky Boys bit online that has something to do with it. And my mind's already going, I'm getting you.

[DJ Pre K]

I'm reading you.

[Bobby Brown]

Okay? Broke down car, owes a lot of money on it. Cherokee Boys. Check. Doing it. And while I'm thinking about that, I say, oh, there's more message here.

[JD Ryan]

Let me read some more.

[John Clay Wolf]

One more time. What was the rest of the message?

[Bobby Brown]

I'm hearing this in my head. I can't come in today. I've got a massive hemorrhoid. Was there a massive hemorrhoid jerky boy's bit, or am I dreaming?

[DJ Pre K]

Wait, so now I can. I think I'm reading into John here. The email said something about massive.

[JD Ryan]

Yep, it did say massive. That's it.

[DJ Pre K]

And John equated that to a jerky boy's hemorrhoid bit. A massive hemorrhoid.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was playing in my head. Oh, I got a hemorrhoid. It's massive. It's just killing me. It's killing me.

[DJ Pre K]

Wait, is it this bit?

[John Clay Wolf]

Medical office. Hello. Yes, I got hemorrhoids. Yeah, my ass is killing me. I need help. Can I get laser treatment?

[Listeners/Callers]

I'm sorry?

[John Clay Wolf]

Laser treatment?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yes. Right. When would you like to come in, sir?

[Radio Announcer]

As soon as possible.

[Listeners/Callers]

Can you come in this evening?

[John Clay Wolf]

These doctors, are they reputable?

[Listeners/Callers]

Yes, they are.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, this is tearing the ass out of me.

[Listeners/Callers]

Sir, can you please use the proper terminology?

[John Clay Wolf]

But I'm dying over Here, I need to get better grass.

[JD Ryan]

That's what you want.

[John Clay Wolf]

That. So that bit, yeah.

[DJ Pre K]

Came from a customer emailing about a pos Car.

[JD Ryan]

Right.

[Bobby Brown]

That's amazing because of the word massive.

[JD Ryan]

But that massive was never used in the jerky bit.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not at once.

[JD Ryan]

Yeah, you're right. Bitter dope.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. Sorry, Bob. I try, you know. It's like you. Every time you swing, you don't hit right.

[Bobby Brown]

If you could have seen the clip on TV about these dolls they're leaving up there. That's a crazy deal. It's like horror movie weird, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Alan and Abilene. What are we gonna go hunting for?

[Listeners/Callers]

Dove?

[John Clay Wolf]

When, when is September? September 2nd.

[Listeners/Callers]

But the first, first three days I got booked up pretty good. But if you want to come after, like after Wednesday, you're welcome to come down here and hunt for free. You can even bring the little chipmunk. He'd go after our birds.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. All right. We could bring Kent, Big Ken's gay dog. And we could see if Big Ken's gay dog could be a bird fetcher.

[Bobby Brown]

Take Ricky with you too.

[John Clay Wolf]

So are you in Abilene? Are you in the Albile? Where's your place?

[Listeners/Callers]

I'm right there, west of Abilene. Just five minutes from Abilene.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sunflowers? Yes. No. Baited fields, all the good stuff.

[Listeners/Callers]

No, no, I, I, I'm in a flyway. The birds flying by high and fast and it's a lot of fun to hunt them. It's different than hunting slow birds. But if you're a good shot and you like to shoot. I got lots of birds. Like I said, they fly high and fast and it's pretty challenging, but it's a lot of fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

What number shells do you need for them? Do you need, do you need to gear down because they're so far.

[Listeners/Callers]

No. Seven and a half work fine.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Out of a 12. All right, well, I'm gonna put you on hold. I couldn't hit a damn high bird, high fast bird with a 20. I can barely hit it with a 12. You're pro. You're gonna whip out the 410 and make us all look silly.

[Listeners/Callers]

I'm gonna put you, I could.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna put you on hold. And pre K, will you get Alan's phone number? Because I am looking for a place to go hunting on opening day. Thank you. All right. Right. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800, radio. God, it's so hot though, on opening day. It's still 100 degrees.

[DJ Pre K]

Still 100? Yeah. I mean, next week it's not going to. Is it going to break? I don't know. You're the weather person.

[John Clay Wolf]

Birthday is Wednesday and we have the auction on Wednesday. Oh, wow. And then we have this. The Fort Worth business press is doing a luncheon to honor the top 10 business press of Tarrant county on Wednesday.

[DJ Pre K]

Give me the VIN is on there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. Number nine.

[DJ Pre K]

County.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. That's huge. The ninth largest. Ninth largest privately held company in Tarrant County.

[DJ Pre K]

That's awesome, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

That is.

[DJ Pre K]

That is awesome. That is.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I'm not. The award thing. I'm not gonna be able to make it. So I. My wife's gonna do it. Okay.

[DJ Pre K]

Well, of course. Have the pretty face out there for her, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Absolutely. She needs to talk like Malone. I come from small country.

[JD Ryan]

So many.

[John Clay Wolf]

To Fort Worth, Texas to buy the car. My husband worked very, very hard. Watch her call it right now. It's like I don't sound like that. She doesn't. She won't even fake it. We could get her mom to do it. That'd be awesome. The whole abba thing. Okay. 800-807-234. My name's John Clay. We'll be back. Just a second.

[Radio Announcer]

We'll be right back. More of the John Clay Wolf show presented by givemethevin.com coming up.

[Commercial Narrator]

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 gimmethevin.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.

[Bobby Brown]

Sell us your car. Gimmethevin.com so easy you can do it in your underwear. Oh, yeah. We're back.

[Radio Announcer]

Back to the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder and the touch of a world.

[DJ Pre K]

That is older I turn the switch.

[John Clay Wolf]

And check the number I leave it.

[DJ Pre K]

On when I slumber I hear the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Rhythms of the music I buy the.

[Listeners/Callers]

Product the never use it.

[DJ Pre K]

I hear the talking of the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can you say Mexican radio on the radio? What does he say?

[Listeners/Callers]

Mexican rain?

[JD Ryan]

I guess so. Whoa.

[John Clay Wolf]

Radio Gary. And middling. Good morning. You're on the air.

[Listeners/Callers]

Hey, like there, Ricky, how are you doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Buddy, Good, good.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah. I just want to call and thank you guys for coming out, buying my vehicle. My father, 250. Let me tell you, when you say it's quick and easy. It is quick and easy. I'm not gonna lie.

[John Clay Wolf]

We try to take the BS out of it. Everybody's so used to car dealers lying to them. And I mean, I, No, I, I deal with car dealers all the time and they lie to me all the time. And it's just, it's just frustrating. So we, the whole concept, if we just treat it like our neighbor and just do what we say we're gonna do real fast, it just seems to work out and then you go tell everybody and then it grows.

[Listeners/Callers]

Well, I mean, I came out here two years ago to the oil field. I brought a brand new 2015 F250 King Ranch Kodiak edition with me. And as soon as I got here, they gave me almost a damn near identical truck for a work truck. And it just sat here for almost two years collecting dust. And I've been listening to your show religiously and one day I said, you know what? Called in and I think it was Laura. Actually, I talked to Laura over there in Fort Worth and she, I, I mean, she wasn't lying. She, she said, send me pictures. I sent her pictures. And it was an hour later. She came up with a price and I said, come and get it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we do. Speaking of. And I'm putting a shout out to anybody, listen, we had one guy write in. But if you have a three car or four car trailer that can get in and out of neighborhoods. I don't need big carriers that can run Midland, Oklahoma, Tulsa, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus, you know, just the region. Just date long day trips. We need more vendors with trucks if you want to get in the car hauling business to go pick up our customers. Cars like Gary, Midland. I appreciate the call.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

Gary.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then Logan in Baton Rouge. Logan.

[DJ Pre K]

Good morning.

[JD Ryan]

Logan.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey. I actually have an office. We. Give me the VIN has an office.

[Listeners/Callers]

Yeah, I'm here.

[Satan, the Prince of Darkness]

How you doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Good, good. We've got an office in Baton Rouge off of an airline over right outside the Albertsons. We've got a check machine in there that can bust a check on the spot. 13F250 lariat with 90,000 miles, four wheel drive average. Rough or clean on your truck?

[Listeners/Callers]

Clean.

[John Clay Wolf]

What color?

[Listeners/Callers]

Clean. Not even a dinner scratch. It's gray.210 light gray with the dark gray on the bottom.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, that's pretty. I like that color. These Trucks, just FYI, that, you know, you've heard me bid them probably over the, the, the market adjustments hit them pretty hard. In the past six weeks, they've come down a couple thousand bucks. Just FYI, I think. Let's see here, let me, let me get. Let's use average MMR and see what it says. 30 grand.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. Think about it. Go to givemetheven.com.

[Listeners/Callers]

Load it up a little bit lower than what I was expecting.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you want to do it, send us some pictures. The color combo on this is so good. I may give another g bone, maybe 1500. Send me some pictures of this car loaded into the website. Give me the vin.com. if we make a deal, you can just run over there to our office and get it up.

[DJ Pre K]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Garrett in Ronok. I see you holding, man. Load that thing into givemethevin.com. the miles are so high in the XL. Really need to see pictures. We've taken a lot of baths on these white xl. Crazy high mile work trucks, extended cab. It's kind of the profile for what we hate. But the four wheel drive might save it. As soon as that sounds. What's the best way to buy a new car with some light? Huh? I'm looking at these deals. Wait, wait, Dan, what are you talking about? Dan, what's the best way to buy a new car with some light cosmetic damage? What you mean you want to buy a new car?

[Listeners/Callers]

Hey, brother, appreciate taking the. Yeah, yeah, appreciate taking the call. I remember a few weeks back you had mentioned you were talking about some hail damage vehicles.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Listeners/Callers]

It was probably a couple months ago and you were saying something on there about how to, you know, go about maybe getting, you know, a newer vehicle. Buying a newer vehicle.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah.

[Listeners/Callers]

Do you remember talking about that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure, yeah. I. I mean, if I'm down here, if you're going to drive one into the ground, I'd definitely start with hail. It's cheap.

[Listeners/Callers]

Okay, so just the hail damage cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I mean, anything.

[Listeners/Callers]

What do you go about, you know, finding these things is you gotta wait.

[John Clay Wolf]

For a hailstorm, as silly as that sounds. Watch the damn Weather Channel. I mean, just the old common sense. Watch the Weather Channel and figure out where they got hit. Figure the dealership in that market got hit, and then it'll take about two weeks for them to get ready to sell them. And that's what you do. I haven't heard of a hail storm in the region.

[Listeners/Callers]

They'll do them at the dealership.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep, yep, yep. There you go. Thank you. Sir, the hail sales. Get the hell out of here.

[Bobby Brown]

Smart ones will have TV commercials all over the place.

[John Clay Wolf]

We bought 300 hail cars from a store in Rogers, Arkansas three years ago, sent them all to PA and sold them all up there. They were beat pretty bad. They were all brand new on msos. And explain that. Msos non title brand new cars. Okay, so and those cars, you know, they sold for five grand back of what they're worth, but they still made a little money and it was worth doing. But there's not that many people ride a three million dollar check.

[JD Ryan]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

For a bunch of inventory in the middle of a. They were buying the dealership. They were selling it.

[JD Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they had all this hail damage inventory and they couldn't make a deal with the new buyer on the inventory, so we bought it all. And speaking of, we've got a 20 Maseratis that I think we're gonna buy that are new. 20 new ones.

[DJ Pre K]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. You probably see those show up in three weeks right at the wrong time.

[JD Ryan]

But that's kind of exciting.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we'll see things growing. Man, we do a lot of deal. I mean, obviously we buy a lot of cars off the public. We do it. We buy a lot of cars off dealers. A whole bunch trade ins, overage inventory. You know, we have a, we have a group of guys that, we call them field buyers that don't work in the office and they work the region. And if you're a good wholesaler, no one that's looking for a new gig that has some accounts, we take a couple more. I think we have 13 right now. I wouldn't mind having 20, but I mean, it's a big territory, dude.

[JD Ryan]

Huge, Huge.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I mean, south Texas, west Texas, you know, we have the best marketplace in the country to remarket them. So, you know, we've got that going for us. 800-800-7 2, 3, 4. So much going for 800, 800 radio. I love the fact that the Carmax guy was talking trash.

[DJ Pre K]

So their managers, their managers are doing it.

[JD Ryan]

Then it's coming from corporate training them to talk trash. Okay, if anybody talks about give me the vin, first of all, put on a patty face. Then.

[DJ Pre K]

They'Re just going to back it up.

[JD Ryan]

Let me see your patty face. Okay, that's good. Then tell them, give me the VIN's going to back that number up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mr. Yeah, we are going to back that number up. We're going to back it up with a check.

[JD Ryan]

Check the.

[Bobby Brown]

You can cash.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, the check that actually clears immediately. Not not some draft float money BS that you wait to go inspect the car. And if you don't like what you bought, you can call them, someone can pick it up.

[Bobby Brown]

Eight day draft. Ah, what a deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

I need to get in that business. No doubt helping cash flow.

[Bobby Brown]

You don't have to pay for it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I mean, how do you pull that off? They got free float for a week off of the. Off of the society red tape. I love it. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. What else is going on? So Hawaii is tonight college football?

[DJ Pre K]

I guess so. Yeah. I missed that one game because they don't really count them as.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the Cowboys are playing home tonight.

[DJ Pre K]

Texans at 6 o'. Clock and then of course Florida versus Miami's at 6 o'.

[Bobby Brown]

Clock.

[John Clay Wolf]

What about the Broncos?

[DJ Pre K]

They're not playing.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's my second favorite team.

[Listeners/Callers]

Really?

[Bobby Brown]

They'll be on Saturday or Sunday.

[JD Ryan]

Sure.

[DJ Pre K]

The maybe not this week. I don't know. I think they might have already played. Preseason's kind of. They play at all different times.

[John Clay Wolf]

When is preseason over? When's the. When's NFL start? Is it next week?

[Listeners/Callers]

First?

[DJ Pre K]

No, not first.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's like second.

[DJ Pre K]

It's that Thursday actually.

[JD Ryan]

The Broncos play the rams tonight at 8 o'. Clock.

[John Clay Wolf]

So that is an hour. Is it 8 central 8? Mountain 8.

[JD Ryan]

Just as probably mountain.

[John Clay Wolf]

So that would be 9 central. So when I get home from Smashing pumpkins it'll be 11 o' clock and catch the second half of that.

[DJ Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, that's gonna be a great one. Broncos and Rams. Rams are awesome. Broncos are great.

[DJ Pre K]

Preseason though.

[John Clay Wolf]
