Episode Overview

In this energetic first hour, John Clay Wolfe and his co-hosts take on the big automotive and cultural issues of the week with their signature humor and blunt honesty. Topics range from the Supreme Court’s revoked tax status for the Church of Scientology, televangelist excess, car market realities (with live on-air car appraisals), and the intertwining of social spectacle and political theater at Trump rallies.

Expect to laugh, wince, learn, and occasionally roll your eyes. If you like your talk radio brash, funny, and a little out-of-bounds, JCW delivers on all counts.

[Co-host Casey]

Give me multiple choice of what the title.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it like some stupid Trump did? No, it's actually not.

[Co-host Casey]

It's not for a change. It's the. The Church of Scientology. Do you know anything about them at all?

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure. Tom Cruise and all the hot celebrities. And.

[Co-host Casey]

And they're crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they're crazy as s house rats.

[Co-host Casey]

Right. And L1 Hubbard came up with this. Who was.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is Selma Hayek a Scientologist? I don't know.

[Co-host Casey]

I know.

[Co-host Turley]

Oh, I would be one if she is.

[John Clay Wolf]

They have a lot of spirit in their breast, I think. Scientologists.

[Co-host Casey]

Here we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Scientologists hold their love for the Lord in their breasts. The female ones.

[Co-host Turley]

Well, I don't know if it's the Lord that they believe in though, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

When you see them, they're all very chesty. And I think that that's where God is hiding in their bodies.

[Co-host Casey]

Well, Elron Hubbard came up with this whole thing and he's. He's a writer, he wrote a book and he. It's like writing the wizard of Oz. People going, yeah, Dorothy, sure. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court, I guess it was yesterday, the eight justices ruled in favor of revoking the Church of Scientology's tax exempt status. Hold on. It gets better. Under the ruling, they will be able to operate as a business, but no longer as a non profit religious organization. I haven't got to the best part yet. Investigations. The investigation, along with the extensive audit found that the group to be quote, criminal operation with the sole purpose of making money.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Co-host Casey]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you heard me last week. I was. I was.

[Co-host Casey]

Big criminal operation.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is great news.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[Co-host Turley]

So what's next?

[John Clay Wolf]

I've been hating on evangelists for a long time.

[Co-host Casey]

They go on to say private schools had similar prices to the courses in Scientology. Students would receive the absolute highest level of education. About the top educators in the country. Fact is, it doesn't exist. There's no school out there that exists. Oh, my.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a racket.

[Co-host Casey]

It's a racket.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a racket. It always has been a racket, of course.

[Co-host Casey]

But people buy into it and they keep sitting, you know, and it's all rich people and you got to pay to be in it. No, it's, it's, it's. But is this the beginning of the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Unraveling that of the television evangelist?

[Co-host Casey]

You make so many million a year. You have become.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't need criminal enterprise, you don't need.

[Co-host Turley]

Well, I don't know about criminal corporation.

[Co-host Casey]

Maybe you become a corporation. You are no life here. And nope, no offense because no, we're not on Creflo.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dollar runs around on a 55 million dollar jet. We watch.

[Co-host Casey]

You want to start listing them? I mean.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it just goes on and on. I got turned off by preacher singers in about 90, 99.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

When I was hanging out at the airport. Since I'm an airport, I'm an airplane and I just love them and I'm always around the air, the hangars and the FBOs and all that stuff. And when I started flying my own, I'd ask who owns this? Who owns that? Who owns this? And it's preacher, preacher, lawyer, lawyer, lawyer, insurance, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, car dealer, preacher, preacher, oil, oil, oil, oil, car dealer, insurance, insurance, insurance, lawyer, lawyer. That's what the jet lineup. Anything that's burning kerosene.

[Co-host Casey]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Turbo props are just right. But there was a lot of preachers in there.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I got to know in a dealer and he was telling me about all the preachers and how they run their deal and bother. I mean they're so terrible. They're so, they're so awful. They're such awful people. SMU 1990. What did you graduate? 6. I'm sitting there with, who's the Dallas one? That's so pretty back then. Give me a couple of Dallas. One Dallas Hilton.

[Co-host Turley]

Was he.

[Co-host Casey]

Yes. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

He hit it right on the nose. John Tilton, Tilton's son. Robert Tilton. We're sitting there in the, in the freshman quad cafeteria. And I liked his son. We're talking and I just put it on him. I was only like 18, but back then it bothered me.

[Co-host Casey]

You were speaking to Tilton's son.

[John Clay Wolf]

He went to. He was in my class at smu.

[Co-host Turley]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Caller]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're sitting at lunch.

[Co-host Casey]

Here we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or breakfast. And I was a smart ass back then too. And we're talking. I was like, do you believe in Jesus? And you know, I was trying to feel this guy.

[Co-host Turley]

You asked him if he believes in Jesus.

[John Clay Wolf]

And his dad.

[Co-host Casey]

His dad.

[John Clay Wolf]

But he was a cool guy. I mean, so I didn't know if he was going to, like, man, I hate my dad.

[Co-host Turley]

Oh, that's what you're doing.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're hoping I don't know if he'd gone emo tilting.

[Co-host Casey]

Right, right, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I hate my dad. I want to die. Listen to the cure.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And wear black toenail polish.

[Co-host Casey]

O.

[John Clay Wolf]

But no, he believed in God. So I was like, what was it like growing up with a celebrity dad?

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we're getting into all that. So I found. But I did catch him off guard when I said, so I guess you never missed a day of school. And he was like, well, yeah, I miss school. So you get sick. Yeah, I said, I mean, when you get sick, why couldn't your dad just come over there and heal you and send you on to school?

[Co-host Turley]

You didn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we never really were as good friends after that.

[Co-host Casey]

Hey, John, go sit over there with the other kids.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I was with the cool kids. He was the preacher kids. The lion preacher. He's a lion. I don't like lion preachers. I don't like preachers that well. Fly jet airplanes.

[Co-host Casey]

I don't D.C. there's a. Fine. Whatever. Anyway, the Scientology people have come back and said, in a free country such as ours, it amazes me that over 10 million. First of all, ain't 10 million of you, so stop that. Can have their beliefs trampled on like this we're making. The Church of Scientology is working hard to make the world a better place. Oh, stop it. Just stop it.

[Co-host Turley]

Sorry to be add here, but you talking about Tilton?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Turley]

Reminds me of the farting preacher.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's that?

[Co-host Casey]

What is that? Are you serious?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's been a while.

[Co-host Turley]

It's been a while.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll play it for me. Charlie.

[Podbean Announcer]

I've seen what Laban's done.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that him?

[Podbean Announcer]

That amazing?

[Co-host Casey]

It is amazing.

[Podbean Announcer]

My word will not return void, and it will go to that which it was sent, and it will prosper. But life and joy and the nature of God. Oh, hallelujah. And bread for eating will also provide and multiply. That's the opening of the wonders of heaven. This is decreeing faith, decreeing a thing. Excuse me. And it shall be established unto thee the force, the spiritual force.

[Caller]

The spiritual power.

[Podbean Announcer]

He is preparing for you as we even speak. I smell heaven's baby crust. That's tilted for you, sister.

[Co-host Turley]

It's a classic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Play it.

[Co-host Casey]

Play it.

[Podbean Announcer]

And now listen to this. You go a little further, you get the one God's for you. You get. He's with you. And then the last biggie. God's in you.

[Co-host Casey]

Stop it.

[Podbean Announcer]

And remember those heavens were shut up because the peak. Oh, those heavens were shut up. And faith breaking through breaking.

[Co-host Casey]

What you're missing missing is the face.

[Co-host Turley]

There's some facial.

[Co-host Casey]

Facial expressions because he'll squint his face and it really.

[Podbean Announcer]

God has something better than where you are right now and their place in him.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where's Dusty Springfield? Son of a preacher man. Sorry, but I had to do that.

[Co-host Casey]

That's so funny.

[Co-host Turley]

[Co-host Casey]

It's been years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why don't you go do around town.

[Co-host Casey]

No, I don't think so.

[Co-host Casey]

Somebody told me he was back.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll save your soul.

[Co-host Casey]

As big as he was.

[Co-host Turley]

Well, he's with the Church of Scientology. Going down. He's probably laying low.

Give me the VIN. Give me the VIN and load it up and say we'll fit this truck at five grand on there. And here it is. We'll buy.

[Show Announcer]

Now back to the John Clay Wolf show. Hit him up right now. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Turley, are you banging your head this morning?

[Co-host Turley]

I'm rocking out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Rocking out with your junk out?

[Co-host Turley]

Yeah, man, we just heard some Alice in Chains, then Bones, Guns N Roses, Live and Let Die and then Three Days Grace. I am machine. Now here's some OFFSPRING Bad habit. 91, 97 1.

[Co-host Casey]

The eagle.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where's. Where's Baba when you need a big DJ voice?

[Co-host Casey]

Where's Babo?

[John Clay Wolf]

He's a great question.

[Co-host Casey]

He didn't show.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's laying in. Oh, I get it.

[Co-host Casey]

No, I get it. He's being a rock dj.

[Co-host Turley]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's laying in a waterbed with a tourniquet around his arm and a needle hanging out of it.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, he's not.

[Co-host Turley]

Papo's not the needle type.

[John Clay Wolf]

Behind the music, behind Bobbo from Bowie.

[Co-host Turley]

I see more of a pipe laying next to him. Yeah, like a bag of Doritos. A cheeseburger wrapper.

[Co-host Casey]

You know, fingers have a slight orange tint.

[Co-host Turley]

I could see that happening. He did find that Maui Wowee. Did you remember the story last week?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Co-host Turley]

And so I have a feeling he might have got into that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I talked to him Thursday night at 10 o' clock and he was wasted.

[Co-host Casey]

Margarita wasted.

[John Clay Wolf]

He had this idea of us doing a on air play as the Charlie Brown characters.

[Co-host Casey]

An on air play as the Charlie Brown character.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I was gonna be Charlie Brown.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay.

[Co-host Turley]

It wasn't a play. It was reading a script from a movie. Yes, as Charlie Brown character.

[Co-host Casey]

Like a commonly well known movie.

[Co-host Turley]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like Talladega Nights.

[Co-host Casey]

What is he on?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no. And I'm Charlie Brown and you're Lucy. I'm like, screw you, Chip. I'll break your damn wooden leg.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay, that's. Yeah, he's high and then he's like.

[John Clay Wolf]

Somebody take care of these children. They're the worst behaved children. So all the. All that shake and bake. He is Kentucky Fried Chicken. Dear baby Jesus, the baby Lord. All that in the Charlie Brown characters.

[Co-host Casey]

I got an idea. Let's do an on air drug test. Well, see what it comes up.

[Co-host Turley]

There is a box of Surgel over here. So I don't know if that's going to help.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's not here to do it.

[Co-host Casey]

Sure, Joe.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then he did it. He wanted to do the heroin scene from Pulp Fiction in Charlie Brown characters.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay. He's on something good. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what? When they shot the chick with adrenaline. Oh, yeah. Anybody got a doctor? Somebody called 91 1. Imagine all that in Charlie Brown characters.

[Co-host Casey]

No, it's not funny.

[Co-host Turley]

I mean, it would Be. It would be funny.

[John Clay Wolf]

That would be funny. I think that would be funny.

[Co-host Turley]

It wouldn't be funny for us to do it because we can't do the characters voices.

[Caller]

Right.

[Co-host Casey]

It'd be funny because if you're drunk, it would be hilarious.

[Co-host Turley]

Just like if you're drunk when you listen to Donald Trump speak, it's hilarious. Right.

[Co-host Casey]

God. Did you hear what happened yesterday in Chicago? It's almost like it's become the daily. Did you hear what happened last night?

[John Clay Wolf]

I just saw the fight going on.

[Co-host Casey]

The Chicago. Yeah. They actually canceled one of his rallies because they said the arena holds 9,000 people and 20,000 showed up and it just got out of control, so they canceled it.

[John Clay Wolf]

The protesters were freaking out, though.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, right. Yeah. There's. There's as many people showing up to protest him as to support him. And then when the. When the guy came out. Yeah, when the guy came out and said, we're gonna cancel, we're gonna reschedule. He didn't use the word cancel. We're gonna reschedule. Go in peace. He literally said that word, go in peace. They all started. Not all. There was about six or seven fights that broke out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. And 90% of them were black versus white. You notice that?

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah. And I'm. My theory. Are you ready?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. John with the Firebird. Hang on a second.

[Podbean Announcer]

Go ahead.

[Co-host Casey]

It's all staged. It's. It's stage two. Make him look bad. They're sending people in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I noticed when Tabitha, who is 12, said, Daddy, nobody's bleeding. There's sure a lot of fighting there.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah. And it's funny.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nobody's really taking a hit.

[Co-host Casey]

A couple of the guys look around like they're looking for a camera. If you. You can tell bad actors because they'll look at the camera, and a lot of these guys are looking for a camera, and then they're. And then they're starting their fight. So I think. I think.

[Co-host Turley]

Okay, hold on.

[Co-host Casey]

I don't know who's doing that.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're fight that. They're. They're.

[Co-host Turley]

So they're staging into the scent of. I think the protesters are fake and these. The fighters are fake.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I think I'm going to go with J.D.

[Co-host Casey]

On this. I think I'm both in to make Trump look bad. That. And that makes me wonder who's. Now who's setting this up? Is it the Democrats or is that the Republicans that were. That want him out? Because they are scared to death. The Republicans are scared to death of this guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I don't Know why I believe you? I agree with you whole. I had that same feeling in the way you just laid it out a little clear for me so that they standing there and in three, two, one, fight. Yeah, yeah.

[Co-host Turley]

So when that guy was being a couple days ago, escorted out and some redneck just decked him, I think that.

[Co-host Casey]

I think that was real. No, I believe now that if that was staged, that was really well staged, but I think that one was real because that guy's a nut and they've interviewed him later.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, next time we're killing.

[Co-host Casey]

That's. Yeah. Anyway, but I think what they did is then the, the people that want to make Trump look bad looked at that and went brilliant. Hang on. The very next time everybody gets together, we pay people to go in and start fights and they got to be black and white.

[Co-host Turley]

Yeah, he didn't really disavow the fighting in his debate.

[John Clay Wolf]

John, good morning, you're on the air.

[Co-host Casey]

Morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait, caller is caller.

[Co-host Casey]

Good morning.

[Caller]

How's it going guys?

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you think about JD's theory that that whole thing was staged last night?

[Caller]

I don't know. There's so much BS that goes on that who knows what you can believe.

[Co-host Casey]

It's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

But what do you think? Do you think that could be the case? Do you think the whole thing could be a setup?

[Caller]

Yeah, it could be.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. What have you got?

[Caller]

Well, like I told your server, 1970 white two door Pontiac Arbor Trans Am heavy duty 455 original.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller]

Paint everything immaculate in 121200 miles.

[John Clay Wolf]

12? Yes. 12 12,000 or 1200.

[Caller]

1200 miles.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you who bought it new?

[Caller]

Buddy of mine. I bought it from him and he bought it new.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, where is this car located? Is it Dallas or Fort Worth or Colleyville or what?

[Caller]

Dallas.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna obviously have to do some research on this one. If it's an all original 1200 mile real car, then we've got something here. Do you know what you'll take for.

[Caller]

Yeah, you give me a price, what you'll get for it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, see, I don't know off the, off the top of my head because I'm not a classic card. I don't know the classic cars. Like I know the regular stuff. So I'm gonna have to figure it out. But with yours I want to start with what you want for it because I don't. I need to, I need to. I'm gonna have to shop this thing and research it and then come over and look at it and put mirrors under it and all that crap. So I just. Before I go that far, I want to know what you. What you'll take for it. So I know I'm onto something that. That makes sense.

[Caller]

Well, it's limited edition. It's worth between 400,000 and 500,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And that's why I wanted to know going in. I mean, this isn't a 07 Tahoe with 120 on. It's not even close, you know, so it's not your normal deal. All right, then I've got. Did she give you. Did you get his number and everything? No. Can you go to givemetheven.com? give me the vin.com, put the vin number in there, put a couple pictures of the car, and after I get off the air today, I'll pull it up and I'll get to working on it. I do. The most expensive car I've ever bought was 300 grand. So I mean, I'm saying I'm not scared of big numbers. It just has to make sense.

[Caller]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks, man. Go to givemethevenvin.com and we'll get to working on it. I mean, I'm not gonna have a number for you today, but early next week we will. Thanks. 400, 800, 800, 723-4.

[Co-host Casey]

For those that missed the early part. What was that car again?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a. All original 1970 trans AM, heavy duty. It's. It's. Man, those cars. Does he have the big one? He thinks he does. And he kind of, I mean, seems.

[Co-host Turley]

Like he's got everything in straight.

[John Clay Wolf]

He thinks he does. So I mean, all I can do is say he does and we'll just get to working on it.

[Co-host Casey]

400 grand.

[John Clay Wolf]

A 1200 mile original car.

[Co-host Casey]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, where's the other one? Show me the other one. Is it in the. Is it in the GM museum? Okay. I don't know. I mean there's million dollar cars out there. I just don't. This. It all depends on what he's saying, the accuracy of it.

[Caller]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it really have 1200 miles? Is it in showroom condition? Is it all original? Anyway, these, those cars are. They're fun to talk about, but they're hard to do over the radio.

[Co-host Turley]

Oh yeah, very hard.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you want me to buy your Escalade, Tahoe, Camaro, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, BMW. Call right now. 8008-0072-3480-0800-7234. 800, 800 radio and I'll give you a price on the Spot right now. 7 grand. 75 grand. 20 grand. 22 grand. Ford Raptor. I buy those some like they're going out of style. I will give you more money than.

[Co-host Casey]

You think this time of year, just in general.

[John Clay Wolf]

2012 Raptor 50, 000 miles 37 30, 37 5. That's a lot of money for a lot for a four year old pickup, right? Gas raptors I like. I bought some 50 granders the other day. Diesel trucks are good. The super high mile ones, the 200 grand plus. No, we'll buy them. But you, you know, don't listen to me. Bid 120, 000 mile King Ranch and call me with your 220 000. I wouldn't expect it to even be in the same ballpark. It's not. Cars have a lifespan on them. They have so many miles in them. Well, this Mitchell has 500 000. Yeah. With $20,000 worth of maintenance.

[Co-host Casey]

All right. Have you guys heard about the new jeep with the hellcat engine? The V8?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh yeah, it looks cool.

[Co-host Casey]

Jeep Trail cat that's Gonna sell a 6.2 liter supercharged Hellcat V8 under a bright green hood. They've extended the wheelbase by 12 inches. It looks really badass.

[John Clay Wolf]

We bought a Jeep this week out of Fort Worth. From a listener, he's a surgeon and he had a GMC Denali or something pickup. But he had a jacked up green badass jeep. Looks just like that but doesn't have a Hellcat engine in it. I love seven.

[Co-host Casey]

Seven horse 707.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

I don't know Jeep.

[Co-host Turley]

Why the groceries pretty quick there, huh?

[Co-host Casey]

You climb up the hill at 90. What are you. What are you gonna do?

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what's funny is talking about all these cool cars. I mean nobody has them.

[Co-host Turley]

No, nobody has.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're driving down the highway right now, right? You're listening to us. If you're listening to us, you're driving down the highway. Look around. Do you see any Hellcats? Do you see any Lexus LX's? Maybe one. Do you see any Ford diesels? A couple. But are they badass wheels or are they. Or they got 200,000 miles. You can't tell driving down the road. I can't. I can smell it. See here, Here we go. I the Eagle. It'll never let you down. Here comes all the classics.

[Co-host Turley]

All right.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah. Classic cars. Awesome man. JD I don't 97 one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Everybody wants 25 grand for their car and it's worth 12.

[Co-host Casey]

Ooh, that's not good.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean these classic Cars. So there's. There's a range on them around 20,000 to 25 to 26, where they sell. Okay. But they don't sell fast. And I'm into stuff that I can. I'm a 300, $400 a car guy.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

In and out, in and out, in and out. I want to look liquid market. Yeah. I'm not in the business of parking your 1965 Mustang for. For six months, trying to make seven grand. It's not what I do. Robert. Good morning. But I sell to those people. How much is this car? Good, good, good. The 65 Mustang with 90, 000 miles. How much do you want for it?

[Caller]

We need J.D. ryan back on the Russ Martin show immediately.

[Co-host Casey]

[Co-host Turley]

He didn't have a 65 Mustang.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't pick up my one fan I got left. Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800. We have. That's the first hit and run that we've had on that topic yet. We've clipped a couple of them off the air. Have you?

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

About 10 of them. That's the first one that made it through. I don't care. It doesn't matter. It's all good because.

I drove all through there Wednesday, Thursday. And it was nasty.

[Co-host Casey]

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I'm lucky I got out of Louisiana. I had to. I couldn't get out of Shreveport. I was heading back to Dallas and I had to go south because of the flood. I20 was shut down.

[Co-host Casey]

You mean driving or flying?

[John Clay Wolf]

Driving. I wasn't going to fly in that. I'm not. I'm not an idiot.

[Co-host Casey]

I'm not no dummy.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not going to fly.00 viz IFR in a. Yeah. Freaking twin Baron. Oh no, no. With a steamer gauges on it. No, I'm gonna El Paso on that deal. Jake's got three cars. They look like big winners.

[John Clay Wolf]

Juicy Fruit. Jake. Good morning. You're on the air.

[Co-host Casey]

Where does Jake live?

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, Jake, where are you from? Oh, of course.

[Caller]

Stevenville, Texas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Stevenville. All right. A 97 Chevy with 145. A 90, an 06 Eclipse with only 185.

[Caller]

And what's the next one 03 Kia Sorrento.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Caller]

With 209.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go. Get you some. I mean, do we have $2,000 worth of cars here? I don't know.

[Caller]

McKinnon the wonder.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know who's driving, who's driving what. I want to know about the personalities behind these fine autos.

[Caller]

Well, I'm driving the Kia right Now from work 30 miles away every day.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Jake's got the key. Handled. Does your step, your step. Your stepdaughter's driving the Eclipse and she's running back, back and forth to Dallas on the weekends. You all don't know why?

[Caller]

Yeah, something like that. Yeah. My daughter is driving it and the pickup sits around and only uses on the weekend when I need it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, once cars get this big in the miles, I mean, you're no dummy, right? They just don't have. They turn into Mexico rigs and they're really not what we do, to tell you the truth. Now the old truck. How nice is the old truck, is this old truck.

[Caller]

It's good condition. Not great. Other than that, it's pretty good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a four wheel drive? Because four wheel drives kind of hold their value no matter what they are.

[Caller]

1500 extended cab. I had fun. Says 4x on it, but it's not for it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, it doesn't matter. Who cares? It's a 97 with 140. Nobody cares. Nobody.

[Caller]

I mean, I bought it from the original owner.

[Co-host Turley]

Well, that's original.

[Caller]

Got all the paperwork where he drove it off the shore.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's ready to go to barrett jackson.

[Co-host Turley]

Yeah, it's mint condition.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's only one dent on the side of it where my roping horse got squirrely one morning and backed into it with his ass.

[Caller]

And then it's probably hit it on the other side.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know, man. I'm just. I took the call for fun. I don't want this stuff. I mean, the truck's worth a thousand and the cars are worth a hundred apiece. That's the truth. That's the truth.

[Co-host Casey]

Wow.

[Caller]

I'm good with it, dude. Well, go to give me a clips because would I be missed just to trade them into somebody.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to give me the VIN. Yeah. Go to givemetheven.com and put in one of them. Put in the chevy truck. And let's look at the pictures on that and the other two While we're out there picking up the chevy truck. If we buy it from you, we'll pick up the other two and just run them through the sale for you and sell them for you. I mean, they're just nothing.

[Caller]

Okay, I got you.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, man. Thank you.

[Wallace Edwards]

And I agree with you.

[Caller]

I appreciate it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, sir. 800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4.

[Co-host Casey]

You want to go back to the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Our buyers make a hundred dollars a car.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm not paying them a hundred dollars a car. Those hundred dollar cars.

[Co-host Turley]

Yeah. That wouldn't make much sense, would it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because it'll cost a hundred dollars to buy them. A hundred dollars to pay the buyer. A hundred dollars for transport, 150 for the selfie, $50 for the detail, and I'll wind up losing 300 a car and a hundred dollar car per car.

[Co-host Casey]

But you have had some good cars this morning as well.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, we bought a lot of pretty stuff.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lots and lots and lots.

[Co-host Turley]

You must have missed the $400,000 one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, the, you know, the Pontiac GT.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, the pontiac heavy duty trans am. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a guy call me with three vets the other day. And. And he wanted 30 grand for him. And no total.

[Co-host Casey]

Wow.

[Co-host Turley]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. But I started looking at them and they're just a bunch of old stingrays and they're not. Well, there was a pace car in there. I'm like, where? Give me a picture of a 1982 Pace card. I thought it was still a stingray, but it was that first year the. Of that crap body and of the other one and it was like, man.

[Co-host Turley]

I think fiberglass.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think he had 15,000. I offered him 15,000 on the three. Those old stingrays that aren't that nice. No, they're just not worth anything really. They're worth five grand, but they're not worth ten. The nicest one in the world is worth ten. And that's retail.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller]

The.

[John Clay Wolf]

The plastic bumper Camaro corvettes. The old stingrays. Unless they're special. Special.

[Co-host Casey]

They still not worth it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nah.

[Co-host Casey]

What's the most expensive car you bought this week?

[John Clay Wolf]

A $90,000. Well, I bought a night. I bought a $87,000 Mercedes and a 135 grand for two cars. And we actually, after looking at them, we readjust them. We bumped the Mercedes up and brought the hummer down. I bought a 96 Hummer H1.

[Co-host Turley]

That's right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. It's got 30, 000 miles on it.

[Co-host Turley]

People at the auction are going crazy because most of those guys in operations.

[John Clay Wolf]

Tell them not to call me.

[Co-host Turley]

I don't want to hear what they call me.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're all.

[Co-host Turley]

I want that H1 because they all went. They're all from veterans.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Turley]

So they're all like just. They go crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, they love.

[Co-host Casey]

How much is that worth? It's 20 years old.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Somewhere between 40 and 50. It's red.

[Co-host Turley]

Red.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Turley]

Oh, wow.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, 40 and 50 grand.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. But it's a diesel H1 Hummer with 30,000 miles.

[Co-host Casey]

Holy. Okay.

[Co-host Turley]

And those things, I mean, it's badass. You've seen them before?

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

The guy we bought them from, I think he feels like I stole them because we talked a lot. I'm like, dude, I'm not stealing these cars because that, that, that, that 12 cylinder twin turbo Mercedes that had an MSRP of 90, right? That's awesome. No, had an MSRP of 200 too. Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we gave, you know, 86 for it. 87, just say 90. But the guy that buys that car today is still an old body style.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because the new body style Benzes are out.

[Co-host Casey]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

So to get somebody to come off a hundred thousand dollar bill for anything that's an old body style. Even though it's the baddest ass. Baddest ass. It still slows it down. It makes it a little hard to sell.

[Co-host Turley]

If I'm going to spend 100 grand, it's gonna be something new.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah. If you got that kind of money.

[John Clay Wolf]

This car only had 11,000 miles. Yeah, but it's all.

[Co-host Casey]

But if you've got that kind of money, you want to.

[Co-host Turley]

That's what you're thinking. I think it's.

[Co-host Casey]

I think the pops.

[Co-host Turley]

I would rather go the other way. Get the used one. It's just. That's that more.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, Yeah, I like that. The H1. Have somebody send you a picture of it. I saw it in person down at the. At Blake's Place in Beaumont. But anyway, they sold the guy and then he sold it back to us and that we bought an M6 from him. And this guy handles a bunch of High Line cars. And if you're listening right now, and that's what you do is you're always in and out of High Line cars. We buy the cars, dude. And. And. And 800, 800 radio. 800, 800 radio. 800,800. 7234. I gave it. I gave 95 for a. From a. For a Rover from D and m leasing. Really?

[Co-host Casey]

95.

[John Clay Wolf]

95,000.

[Co-host Casey]

What's a new Rover cost?

[John Clay Wolf]

150. God.

[Co-host Casey]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

For that one.

[Co-host Casey]

Holy.

[John Clay Wolf]

For a long body.

[Co-host Casey]

That for a car that's a house.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's just stupid.

[Caller]

That's.

[Co-host Casey]

Dude, that really is.

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I think it's stupid. I'm not bragging. That's why I don't even like them.

[Co-host Casey]

J.D. you don't like rovers. I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. I. I don't even like the $100,000 cars.

[Co-host Casey]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

No. Why? Cuz, you know, what if. What if the transporter screws it up?

[Podbean Announcer]

Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

It's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

And what if the market changes when it. Like when the market just. You can lose. Barely has a popcorn fart. You lose seven grand.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, I got you.

[John Clay Wolf]

So the upside's a thousand or two. And the downside's ten. In the. In the. In the accident factors high and they're just. And everybody's so hung up on them. You know, they're commodities to me.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't want to drive them because what if I. What if I bump a curve?

[Co-host Casey]

The risk factor. Yeah, risk versus reward.

[John Clay Wolf]

Everybody's so worried about being fancy. I don't know. And the guys that drive those, the dealers that handle those, yeah, they're all fancy and they wear fair game Ferragamos and they're. They smell Armanis and they've got. Their name was Butch Smith and they changed it to Josephi Gabaldi. Garibaldi.

[Co-host Casey]

They comb their hair.

[John Clay Wolf]

All, all these, all these Highline used car managers at the Ben stores and Alexa stores in the big cities all have these funky ass names. All of them.

[Co-host Casey]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

All of them. And they're. They're pen names, dude, I'm telling you. When they got out of the hood when they were 17 and they met the guy that changed their life, the old 65 year old man, they changed their name.

[Co-host Casey]

The artist formerly known as the car dealer formerly known as Bubba.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you ever went with that guy to like Thanksgiving dinner with his family, you'd be like, what? What? Where'd you come from? 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800. Radio Mike. These hybrids aren't bringing much because gasoline is 25 cents a gallon.

[Caller]

Yeah, I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's worth five, six grand.

[Caller]

Five to six grand?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Five is probably more like it. I need to look it up. What, what, what will you take for it?

[Caller]

Six, I think would be okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, then go to. Give me. Hang on. I'm gonna look it up real quick. Y' all talk about something. Let me look this up.

[Co-host Casey]

Well, we can go back and talk about eventually. I want to get back to the Trump deal, which I totally. It's just knowing bits, knowing being in radio and setting stuff up that looks like it really happened for so many years. I'm telling you, this is a setup. This whole, this, it is, it just. There's too much on the line and it's too orchestrated. It's too good. You know, you watch an actor who's, he's. His lines are too, too right on. Like Charlie stops speaking and JD Starts speaking. That's not how normal conversations happen. What I watched in that. Which I watched in the fight, I'm going to call it the fight in Chicago, it was too orchestrated. They were just. It was just too perfect. You know, everybody waited till just the right moment and it was black and white and it was just, it was just like they paid for those people to be there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, the fact that like you said, they don't start fight until they see.

[Co-host Casey]

The cameras are on. Right? The cameras are on and they're looking around. Who's, who's. Yeah, and it's, it's, it's, it's Almost like somebody speaking to them in their ear or. I just have.

[John Clay Wolf]

And did you notice the media last night reporting the war? You know, the. The riot in Chicago is how they're pitching it. There really wasn't much that they only had about four decent clips to replay.

[Co-host Casey]

Over. That's their deal. And they want to make it look as crazy and out of control. Now, are there crazy now to control people that are showing up to these things and. Absolutely. But again, I go back to this. Who has that much time? Who has who?

[Co-host Turley]

The rule redneck has a lot of time, really.

[Co-host Casey]

So he's not working. He doesn't have anything else to do but to drive into Chicago. Pay to park, I might add. If you ever been to Chicago. It's like going to Austin for South by Southwest.

[Co-host Turley]

That's why he's so mad too.

[Co-host Casey]

It's 80 bucks.

[Co-host Turley]

Everything is. You're building his anger even more. He realizes when he gets here what we gotta pay for parking.

[Co-host Casey]

I bet you money is worse than AT&T Stadium. I bet it's 40, 50 bucks to park in downtown Chicago.

[Co-host Turley]

Oh, it's expelled.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

My dad had an apartment there years.

[Co-host Turley]

Ago to see that if they took the subway in. What that crowd looked like.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, my God.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Caller]

But it does have aftermarket exhaust on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, that's fine. Which wheels?

[Caller]

Actually, they're aftermarket IROC Camaro wheels.

[John Clay Wolf]

How does that look? It might look good. I mean, I've never heard of such.

[Caller]

But I'll send you a picture. But I've got nothing but compliments so far.

[John Clay Wolf]

I like that wheel. Is it like a 87 model? What? What? I'm surprised the bolt pattern matched up. What year wheel did it come off of?

[Caller]

Honestly, I want to say it's probably the 90s, 91, somewhere in there.

[Co-host Turley]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have the factories in case I hate them?

[Caller]

I do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well. Well, if it strikes me, I'm interested to see that. So make sure you take pictures of it. Send it to givemetheven.com. take a side profile shot so we can see the wheel. This thing's got 115 on it, and it's worth. You know, it's worth. It's worth. It's worth. It's worth. It's worth nine, ten grand.

[Caller]

Okay, good deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. So send me the pictures. I can tighten up. We'll email you an offer letter for somewhere between 9 and 10,000 after we see the photos and pull the VIN and we'll get on it. Okay, thanks.

Should be, but it was bad. Texas bar.

[Co-host Turley]

Did you go in and I. Oh, he's a Texan.

[Co-host Casey]

I did a story this week on a place in North Texas where they have tulips. And they came from Holland. The family came from the Netherlands to settle in Texas. And they came here because of the TV show Dallas. And they got here, they just fell in love with Texas and they. Now they have their tulip. It's a. You pick it. Tulip farm. One of the only ones in the country.

[John Clay Wolf]

How long have they been here? Do you remember?

[Co-host Casey]

Three years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, the rerun of Dallas. The remake of Dallas.

[Co-host Casey]

Yes. Yeah. They grew up watching Dallas. So when they had some money and some time, they. They came here and they fell in love with Texas.

[John Clay Wolf]

So how did they live here? I mean, how did they get through Donald Trump's immigration?

[Co-host Casey]

This was three or four years ago when they got here and they came here to. They came here and now they're now they live here and they have their businesses here. It's in Pilot Point, this little bitty town in North Texas. And you turn the corner and there's just acres and acres and acres of these beautiful tulips.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nick, an 03 Liberty with a buck fifty on it's worth a thousand dollars.

[Caller]

One thousand dollars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I mean the miles on that little four cylinder engine, it could go at any minute. It might blow a rod right now while you're talking to me. And people know that. And that's why they're only willing to invest a little bit of money. Because. Because it's a thousand now. But what if, you know, if the motor craps, then it's over and it's junk.

[Caller]

Oh, okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Co-host Casey]

Sleeping in your truck.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I. And I pulled up between two 18 wheelers that were parked sleeping and hid back there behind them. And I Woke up at 7:30 the next morning.

[Co-host Casey]

You know what you need to do? We need to get a sponsor on this show. Like, you know, Motel 6 or somebody. Seriously, as much as you sleep on the road, you should get one. Why not? The network is growing. You're on in Dallas, you're on in Houston. That's huge.

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm telling you, what happened this week was I left my credit card got canceled.

[Co-host Casey]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because someone hacked it.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I was out on the road and I had 200 bucks in my pocket, and I. How'd you get gas? Well, that's why I kept. I didn't blow it on hotel rooms. Or hookers. Or hookers. And I was like, I've got to keep this money live because I got to get home on it. I'm. I'm 500 miles out to sea, and I got. I got 180 left.

[Co-host Turley]

Call the office to get the other.

[John Clay Wolf]

Card because they don't take them. Everybody's a jerk out on the road. You're in Texas. I mean, everybody's so policy'd up at all these chains, you know, your driver's license doesn't match. I can't take a picture. I can't take a number.

[Co-host Turley]

I can't do it over the phone.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it's late, and I'm like, ah, I'm tired of arguing with you. I was tired of arguing with you before I started. I'm tired of arguing, period. Kevin, good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller]

Yes, I got a great Pathfinder 2012, 78,000 mile.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've lost a lot of money on these, and I think it's just the bot. No, wait. The 12 is the last year of the old body style, right?

[Caller]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nissan. We were talking about that this. This morning. Nissan is nothing to do with you. And I'm not trying to beat your car up. I'm just telling the truth. Nissan's over producing their product, and they're discounting it so heavily at the new car stores trying to get rid of it, that they're screwing up their used car market. Is it a SL or an S or an sv.

[Caller]

It's just a base model, you know, tilt, cruise, automatic windows, nothing special.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a S and it's gray and it has 75,000 miles and miles are okay. It's got a clean carfax. I'll give, you know, 12 and a half.

[Caller]

All right, all right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does that work?

[Caller]

No, I'm upside down.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you. Oh, 16, 18. 18. You ain't the only one, brother. I'm telling you, they're all selling these expensive ass cars. And what I was just saying, Nissan, you ought to write them a letter and say thanks. They're wrecking out their used car market to their customers because they're over producing their product. The transporters that I talk to, there are piles and piles of Nissans at the railhead that they're slamming on dealers. I have, I know the transporter that delivers the new cars to Nissan dealers and they have had trucks there unloading. And the dealer general manager walks out and turns them away and says, no, no, stop, no more. Well, they're not putting them, they're not putting them on your floor plan. They just need to. They're giving them to you. I don't have any more room. I don't want any more cars. And they just keep coming out. Five grand off, seven grand off, ten grand off. And what that does to the used one is just down, down, down, down. Yeah, it's just so. Yeah, all right, man. But that's the money on them. Today's 12, 12 and a half. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio.

[Co-host Turley]

So what happens when they turn them back? I mean, do they really go back to the manufacturer, to the railhead? And so what, they just sit there?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, they're in a, what they call a holding bank. So the deal, the factory, what they're supposed to do is set allocations to the dealerships based off of performance and build accordingly. And the dealers order their cars and they build those orders and they're 90 days out and they make it flow. But Chrysler was the worst about this and now they're not nearly as bad. But Nissan has picked up the slack and started slamming dealers with inventory. So I mean, if you want a great deal, you know. Yeah, Nissan's got great deals on Altimas and all this other stuff. But the problem is the trade in value is s. Because there's so many new ones. I mean, if you have a pulse.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And bought an ice cream cone on credit somewhere at some point in your life, Nissan financials say, yeah, let's go ahead and let him ride.

[Co-host Casey]

Well, how's that gonna work down the road?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, they just got, they've got to get the cars on the road.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And Mitsubishi, remember, no payments for 18 months and now Mitsubishi's out of business. I'm not saying Nissan's going out business because they're not. But they're over doing it.

[Co-host Casey]

Overextending themselves.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, they're just overstepping, slamming their dealers. That's it. All right. My name is John Clay Wolf by Cars already will be back. Uno momento, port favor.

[Co-host Casey]

He died peacefully.

[John Clay Wolf]

He deserved to die.

[Co-host Casey]

Now deserves.

[John Clay Wolf]

At 90. You're good. You made it over the fence.

[Co-host Casey]

What is the number for you? What is the number where you get 80s a good number. I agree.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

Anything after 80s bonus.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. So I say it. I mean, he's good. Who else died?

[Co-host Casey]

Well, with this Glen.

[John Clay Wolf]

Most people talk about celebrity birthdays. We're more into the death zone.

[Co-host Casey]

Glenn Campbell is not dead, but he has now reached the sixth and final stage of Alzheimer's. He can no longer speak. And on the same lines, kinda. Tanya Tucker is very ill. She was scheduled Lovers in the Florida. This is a huge. Actually, when you. You're going to laugh when I say this, but it's a huge deal. The Florida Strawberry Festival. And she's a huge. She's in it every year. And she had to postpone that because she has bronchitis. Very, very sick. She's in the hospital. And what else Bobo did. John Anderson has been picked to replace her. I swear to God, I'm not kidding. I'm not right. I didn't make this up.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is in Bobbo's wheelhouse.

[Co-host Casey]

John Anderson has been picked to replace her at the Strawberry Festival in Florida. Including Loretta Lynn, Mel Tillis, Ronnie Millsap, Oak Ridge Boys, Reba and Trace Atkins.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bobo did a Behind the Music special on Tanya Tucker and Glenn Campbell. Do you have that handy towing. I think we should play that in Glenn's honor. And Tanya, so hoping she makes it through it.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hope she makes it through some serious backstory stuff that you guys have never heard.

[Wallace Edwards]

After a lengthy career as a genuine pop country Superstar in the 1960s and 70s, Rhinestone Cowboy. Glen Campbell's career should have been a shoe in for the easy transition into progressive urban cowboy disco talk. What happened instead was tragic on a monumental scale. Glenn opted not to record longtime songwriting partner Jimmy Webb's song the Highwayman, which went on to become record of the year. And then came his ill advised affair with then 21 year old Tanya Tucker, a superstar in her own right, with a reputation for drunken brawls, mild recreational drug use, and romantic trysts with such diverse partners as Rod Stewart and all four Oak Ridge Boys. At the same time, Tucker proved to be more than poor Glen Campbell could handle. And while the 80s welcomed Tanya Tucker with open arms, the Wichita lineman went on to cocaine rehab, four divorces in a row and relative obscurity. Thank God Shania Twain didn't show up until 1993. And that's this week's Today in pop country history. I'm Wallace Edwards.

[John Clay Wolf]

Things you didn't know. I've got another one that I'd like you to pull up out of your archive and it's the Ronnie Millsap. Terry. It'll be in that same file. Terry. What was it? What was the blind chick's name? Terry. Somebody's knocking. Should I let him in?

[Co-host Casey]

Terry Gibbs.

[John Clay Wolf]

Harry Gibbs. It's funny. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Thomas, good morning. You're on the air. Well, hang on. Yeah, Thomas, you there? Oh, 14 charger. Thomas, do I have the caller button up? I do. Thomas. Going. There you are. Okay, 14. Yeah, 14 charger. Which. Which level is it? Which trim?

[Caller]

It's a RT Max, but my name's Sean.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, she had it in there. Okay.

[Caller]

Anyway, yeah, it's an RT Max, fully loaded. It's so loaded it even has heated and cooled stuff holders.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, I lost two $800 on an RT Max about three months ago. And the reason was is we didn't know what a Max was. What is a Max?

[Caller]

It. It is the step right below the rumble beat. It's. Before they put all the extra stuff on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was told by a dealer because we looked up the invoice on it that it's an all wheel drive.

[Caller]

No, not mine.

[John Clay Wolf]

See, I had. Are you sure it's a Max?

[Caller]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I'll bet it as such. What color is your car?

[Co-host Casey]

Black.

[Caller]

Black on black.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller]

And it also has the Dr. Dre beat system in it with nav. The whole nine yards.

[Co-host Turley]

Dr. Dre.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dr. Dre says that's factory. And Dr. Dre says ring ding dong ding ding. What city you. What city you be in? Dog.

[Caller]

Grand Prix.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so you're up in North Dallas. I don't have to ship your car 20 grand if it's got 24,000 miles on it and it's a clean Carfax. And it's a ready car.

[Caller]

Yeah, it's super clean. I mean my wife barely drives it to and from work.

[John Clay Wolf]

You got a title?

[Caller]

No. She's making payments on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's payoff? Don't know.

[Caller]

I think last time I tried to trade it in they told us it was like right around 29.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, you're tanked bad. You're hurt. It's a twenty thousand dollar car. I sold my other one for eighteen. No, seventeen, eight. But it had more miles on it than yours. But 20 grand's all over it. And I don't think you'll. You'll get a better offer than that anywhere. And feel free to shop. But I. 20 grand's the money. So if you want to write a check, you'll have to write us a check for the negative equity on that and we go pay it off. So if your payoff now is 25 grand, then you'd have to write us a $5,000 check. And then we take our 20 and we send it off to the lender and pay it off. Thanks. 800-800-7234.

[Co-host Turley]

Sound too happy?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I mean 29 grand payoff, that's tough.

[Co-host Casey]

We're just talking about rock bands and people.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did someone diamond while we were on the air?

[Co-host Casey]

No, but almost. Iron Maiden, they have a 747 called Ed Force One. Have you heard of this?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Co-host Casey]

So they're in Chile this morning and the aircraft is being towed. The tow. The thing that's towing him.

[John Clay Wolf]

The tow bar.

[Co-host Casey]

The tow bar comes undisconnected and the aircraft then by itself rolls into two other tugs and is destroyed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it's not destroyed.

[Co-host Casey]

Well, they look at the two. Two engines are completely destroyed and the undercarriage is broken.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's bad.

[Co-host Turley]

That's not good. You can't fly with that.

[John Clay Wolf]

But that screws up the tour.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, well, they said they're going to get another aircraft to do the tour. But they just got this 7:47. Iron Maiden. And there. I can't remember the guy's name that he flies it.

[John Clay Wolf]

He flies in the band, the guitar player.

[Co-host Casey]

They were not on board. The band was not on board. It was being towed. And it. Then it ran into some. A tug at the airport and did destroy two of the engines. Holy mouth.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. Or go to. Give me the VI N. Give me the VIN. The VIN number, the serial number, the 17 digit VIN number. Givemetheven.com. so we got Rock deaths.

[Co-host Casey]

Rock Deaths. We got Iron Maiden's airplanes destroyed. This morning. Not destroyed with two engines. Probably have to be replaced.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Co-host Turley]

Guys.

[John Clay Wolf]

Man.

[Co-host Turley]

Hey, you want an audio clip of the week here?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, of course.

[Co-host Turley]

I have to have my little open first. Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's time for Turley's audio clip of the day. Wow, is that me? Sounds like me.

[Co-host Casey]

Production value is awesome. We're not done.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that your English Oasis?

[Co-host Turley]

That was well written, wasn't it?

[Co-host Casey]

Beautiful, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Your son helped.

[Co-host Casey]

How many producers did you have?

[Co-host Turley]

Yeah, I told him, hey, write me a song real quick.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's one. All right, here's one.

[Co-host Turley]

Dad, are you familiar with Bill Marshall?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, a little bit.

[Co-host Casey]

Bill Marsher?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't watch him, but yeah, why not me? I'm busy.

[Co-host Turley]

Well, he's great anyway, so he was. I'm busy, I'm doing things, you know.

[Co-host Casey]

Well, he had a non liberal things.

[Co-host Turley]

He was talking about a story. Oh, God, set myself up for that one. Walked right into it. He was talking about, hey, a Vanity Fair story. Have you seen this? Where Donald Trump used to have tapes of Hitler and he would listen to these tapes and I guess listen to speeches of the speeches.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Co-host Turley]

Not just the way he talks. Yeah, how he talked and everything. So Bill Maher decided to translate what Hitler was saying. Oh, yes. Tell me if it sounds a little familiar.

[Co-host Casey]

Let me see.

[Bill Maher]

Okay, look at this Hitler speech and we've translated it for you. Thank you, thank you. We're going to make Germany great again. That I can tell you. Believe me. Germany doesn't win anymore. England, France, America, they're laughing at us. The Treaty of Versailles. A terrible. We have stupid people who are our leaders. Really stupid people making terrible deals. President Hindenburg, he's a stiff, very low energy. He built a blimp with his name on it. It was a total disaster. Look, we are going to have a military so big and so strong that we'll never have to use it. Okay, maybe we'll use it a little. Look, we don't conquer anymore. We don't annex territory. When I'm Fuhrer, Germany is going to annex again. There's going to be so much annexing, you're going to get sick of annexing. And look, I love the Jews Nobody loves the Jews more than me. But folks, either we have a fatherland or we don't. So we're going to have to build a camp. And I will make the Jews pay for it.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, my God.

[Bill Maher]

When I, when I'm done with them, they'll be saying Merry Christmas. That I can tell you.

[Co-host Casey]

That's so funny. And I normally don't like Bill Moore. I know you do, but that's.

[Co-host Turley]

I figured that would play all over.

[Co-host Casey]

Everybody can laugh about that is hilarious.

[Co-host Turley]

So that's your clip of the week.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Jews are laughing.

[Co-host Casey]

Well, yeah, everybody's laughing at that. It's just like when you make all your comments. Everybody's on board with you because they get it. Everybody's on board with him because it's, it's gotten to the point. It's so ridiculous. It's so absurd. You have to laugh.

[Co-host Turley]

So absurd that you have a theory that these fights are staged by.

[Co-host Casey]

Promise you. I promise you it's going to come out at some point. These.

[Co-host Turley]

I don't know what to say.

[Co-host Casey]

They are sent in. These people are staged to create. It's so easy. How easy would that be? And it makes Trump look like he's totally out of control. And it scares mom and dad. The 60, 70 year old, whatever, they're sitting, sitting around wondering if Trump's the next guy. Well, maybe. Ooh, all these people are fighting. You see nothing. But maybe we shouldn't vote for him. That's bad. That's exactly what they're doing. It's so easy. You send two guys in and what the news cameras do, out of 10,000 people, six people fought. How easy is that? Here's a grand. Here's a grand. Go in and fight each other.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what was out of. Looked bad. What was the old man that elbowed the black guy.

[Co-host Casey]

That looked terrible.

[John Clay Wolf]

But what looked terrible is they pinched the black guy.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they just. That just. That took a hit.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the old man didn't get any. Nobody grabbed him.

[Co-host Turley]

They were cheering him on.

[Co-host Casey]

That's what I don't understand.

[John Clay Wolf]

The cops didn't grab him.

[Co-host Casey]

I know. How did that guy get away? That, that I don't understand.

[Co-host Turley]

And enough time to talk to Inside.

[John Clay Wolf]

Edition and say they arrested him the next day.

[Co-host Casey]

Did they get him?

[John Clay Wolf]

They did.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay. They pinched.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but why they didn't. If I'd have hit that moment.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, my God. Do that at a cowboy game to see how long you last.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Co-host Casey]

You'd be, you'd be in handcuffs next.

[John Clay Wolf]

Time we just might have to kill him.

[Co-host Casey]

Right? Yeah, that's. I mean, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Dude, that was pretty.

[Co-host Casey]

I know. I know. That's all out there. And they're. I'm not saying there's not out there, people. I'm just saying the Chicago thing was too well orchestrated. It's overly active when you watch a guy overact a scene. This was overly active, so it wasn't random.

[John Clay Wolf]

You said Black Lives Matter started shooting somebody.

[Co-host Casey]

Now, that was not on an ABC or an NBC website. That was on a political website. So I'm gonna say allegedly, the Black Lives Matter people started popping guns off after the Chicago thing. That's alleged. I don't have any idea if that's true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
