Aired: February 12, 2026
Theme: A raucous, unscripted Easter Weekend show packed with irreverent talk about rock concerts, car deals, wild personal stories, and absurd comedy—powered by GiveMeTheVIN.com.

Episode Overview

This episode of The John Clay Wolfe Show encapsulates the show’s freewheeling spirit, unfiltered humor, and blend of talk about music, cars, sports, sex, and rock & roll. It’s Easter weekend, so the crew (John Clay Wolfe, Bobbo, J.D. Ryan, Mike Turley, and Aussie) go fully off-script—reflecting on concerts, riffing about sexuality, performing deliberately terrible radio skits, evaluating cars on the fly, and lampooning news, politics, and each other. Holiday weekends mean anything goes, and today’s show is pure “no one’s listening” radio chaos.

Key Discussion Points & Notable Segments

1. Concerts, Contests, and the BFD

• The crew open with banter about upcoming concerts, ticket prices, and a running contest to guess the band Tripping Daisy’s song "Prick."
• Shoutouts to Joe Walsh/Bad Company, Steely Dan/Steve Winwood tours, and summer's BFD event with Shinedown, Disturbed, and more. (00:43 - 02:16)
• Callers join in, with one promptly insulted (“You're a prick. You know what you win? Nothing” – Bobbo, 05:29) (05:27 – 05:44)
• Classic reminiscence about venue names, Fast Times at Ridgemont High references, and concert nostalgia.

2. Caller Car Appraisals — Real-Time Bids

• Live appraisals of listeners' vehicles form the backbone of the show:
  • 2009 GMC Acadia: "Nine grand." (Bobbo, 11:52)
  • ‘05 Chevy Extended Cab: “It’s two grand. I’m sure it’s really nice, but it’s two grand.” (Bobbo, 12:43)
  • 2011 Dodge Power Wagon: Long negotiation, “You're probably at 20 grand.” (Bobbo, 28:14)
  • Numerous other quick appraisals follow, always with the invitation to “go to givemethevin.com.”
• On-air bickering about honesty and expectations (“That doesn’t make any sense because ... I'm going to tell you the real money and then you'll know.” – Bobbo, 57:12)
• Genuine advice: “When you see that car go from 49,999 to 50,000, you need to take $2,000 and throw it out the window” (Bobbo about odometer miles, 45:10)

3. Radio Skit—“Talladega Nights” Grace Scene

• The crew stages the “Dear Lord Baby Jesus” scene from Talladega Nights in various “accents,” first in Australian and later in a Black urban style (“good times, 70s project vibe”).
• First attempt, Australian accent: Languid, shambolic, self-mocking, and declared a likely “worst bit in radio history” (22:26-23:09)
• Listener reaction: Call-ins express both delight and horror. “I laughed my ass off.” – Caller (24:22)
• Second run, blaxploitation-style: Faster-paced, much funnier according to the crew, full of quick-fire barbs and fake outrage.
  • “Daddy, you made grace your bitch.” – Bobbo (19:39, first reading; 147:17, second reading)
  • “I'm so proud of you boys. You remind me of me, precocious and full of wonderment.” (19:58, 147:53)
• Meta-commentary throughout: “I think we should do it again ... when one person calls and they're favorable, there's 10.” – John Clay Wolfe (24:37)
• Post-bit reflections: “That feeling right there, that’s a certain feeling. I haven’t had that feeling on the air in years ... Like we are doing badly.” (149:38)

4. Life Hacks, Easter, and the Absurd

• Bobbo shares his “Starbucks cup dribble” life hack, which derails into comedic nitpicking. (10:01 – 11:01)
• Easter riffs: “Please don’t get drunk for Easter, Daddy.” (40:46) “What are we doing for Easter, Daddy? About a half case.” (40:38)
• Discussions devolve into vodka-and-ham recipes, with mock-blasphemous zeal: “Puke for the Lord.” (84:39)
• Honest confessions: “I drive so mad. Everything I’ve done today sucks, man.” – John Clay Wolfe (55:46)

5. Sexuality, Turning Straight Girls, and Australian Identity

• Aussie (the show’s Australian producer/call screener) tells vivid stories of “turning” straight girls bi during a trip to Colorado:
  • “There’s a conquest in turning a straight girl.” – Aussie (33:35)
  • “I got her drunk, took her back to our hotel room, and did you know...” (101:10)
• Extensive, ribald banter about bisexuality, jealousy, tattoos as “liberation markers”, and who’s flipped whom.
• Identity parade: “So you are an alien, aboriginal, bisexual, Australian, black woman.” – Bobbo (128:27)

6. Car Industry Insanity & News-of-the-Weird

• Hail damage impact on North Texas car dealers: “Brand new cars... just hammered.” (41:15)
• Calculation comedy about how many workers it takes to fix hundreds of hail-damaged cars (43:04)
• Bobbo reveals industry secrets (and pitfalls) in live car appraisal and wholesale buying.
• News bits:
  • United Airlines pilot accused of running a brothel ring (129:01)
  • Woman arrested for sex with a dog; awkward attempts to process the headline (131:09)
  • Donald Trump vs. Ted Cruz, political “voicemails,” and open-carry convention petitions lampooned (68:29, 69:08)
  • Jared Fogle now making sandwiches for inmates (133:01)

7. Best-of Bits and Behind-the-Scenes Meta

• Recap classic show moments: “Car Insurance Prank” w/Floyd K. Boyd (150:30)
• Bobbo’s “Wallace Edwards” parodies rock history vignettes (The Who, 61:25), purposely full of “facts.”
• Honest self-commentary on radio bits bombing: “I could just hear people turning the radios off and just snapping.” (42:43)

8. Listener Interactions

• Multiple live appraisals and real-time buying.
• Raw, interactive talk with listeners about cars, jokes, and show quality.
• Authentic banter and lack of filtering play directly into the “holiday, no one’s listening” ethos.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “We could do stupid stuff like that on Easter holiday weekends because nobody’s listening.”
  – Bobbo, 22:26

• “I mean, what’s bad? What’s good? I don’t know. I felt bad for Michael ... I don’t think the crowd loved this that much. That’s what I doubt.”
  – Bobbo, after first Talladega skit, 43:43

• “Hang on. You got to turn them on over there.”
  – J.D. Ryan, wrangling callers, 03:05

  – Mike Turley riffs, 14:13

• “That feeling right there, that’s a certain feeling. I haven’t had that feeling on the air in years ... Like we are doing badly.”
  – John Clay Wolfe (reflecting on bad radio, 149:38)

Tone, Language, & Style

• Candid, unscripted banter: No subject is too crass or taboo, especially on a holiday weekend.
• Edgy, irreverent humor: From sexual innuendo and "flipping" straight girls to religion jokes and ethnic parody, nothing is sacred.
• Meta awareness: The crew repeatedly break the fourth wall, hearing bits bomb in real time and discussing the fallout.
• Texas roots: Regional references, southern drawl, and car culture abound.
• Audience interplay: Callers get roasted, cheered, or (more often) mocked, but always welcomed.

Summary

This Easter episode of The John Clay Wolfe Show is a live, unfiltered tornado of off-the-wall radio—featuring music, cars, caller insanity, and humor that veers gleefully into “so bad it’s good.” Highlighted by two deliberately awful Talladega Nights skits, real-time car appraisals, and true confessions about sex, sobriety, and rock & roll, the show is a testament to why people tune in: unpolished, unpredictable, and just a little bit dangerous. If you need clean, respectful talk radio, look elsewhere.
