John Clay Wolf
Now back to the John Clay Wolf show. Hit him up right now.
Turley
1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf show.
John Clay Wolf
I got mine. 800, 800 radio. Tracy Lewisville. Good morning. You there?
Caller
I am.
JD
I'm here.
John Clay Wolf
What you got?
Caller
I have an 87 Chevy Silverado.
Bob
Oh, boy.
John Clay Wolf
Short bed or long? Long. Average. Rough or clean?
Caller
Well, it's you.
John Clay Wolf
Stop right there. Stop right there. I already know long bed and well, and I see in here new engine. This is just an old truck, isn't it? Yes. Yeah. I don't mean it ain't me, babe. No, no, no, it ain't me. I ain't the one you're looking for, babe.
Caller
Oh, really?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. I mean, old. I mean, if it was a show truck, if it was something sweet. But a 87 Chevy Silverado, I mean, what's it worth really?
Caller
Well, that's why. I mean, that's what I'm at. That's what I'm wondering.
John Clay Wolf
300, 400. Really?
Caller
I mean, I've done, I've done. I've looked it up, you know, on other places and it seems because of the year. It was the last year that they had the double headlight. So I've seen it.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, that year was fuel injected 350, which is good. And if that truck was a short bed, it would bring some money. But an old 87 regular cab, long bed, it's just, you know, there ain't no sex appeal. Tracy, are you sexy.
Caller
In the truck? I think.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well, it's just. I mean, when you get into these older cars, they need to have. I can't sit on the radio, but they need to have boobs, they need to have legs, they need to have. They need to be sexy.
Bob
What?
John Clay Wolf
Or no. Or just nobody cares. And, and we care about you, Tracy, but we don't care about this truck. We'd rather see you in something else. Yeah, send us a picture of you.
Caller
I do have a new truck. I do. I do have a daily driver truck.
Turley
There you go.
Caller
This one being as classic as it was and you know, the year that it was and the prices that I had seen online for people trying to sell the same truck.
John Clay Wolf
But look at them. And I bet they're short beds.
Bob
It's.
Caller
It's possible when you see those 305.
John Clay Wolf
Engine, and that's not the right one, the 350 fuel injectors, which brings the money where. So you're an Eagle listener, huh? Are you a rocker? Country. Country.
JD
Rocker.
John Clay Wolf
Country. Rocker. Country, rock. Well, that's What? We are too. We're country rockers. Well, thanks for listening, Tracy.
JD
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
All right. Later. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.
Bob
That really is all the. All the rage right now. I tried and tried to find my son a little short, wide like that. 84, 85. They're not, you know, people aren't letting go of them that are in good shape.
John Clay Wolf
They'll let go of them, but they'll charge your ass. Yeah, yeah. They're not letting go of them cheap. Now, you could have bought Tracy's truck for a thousand, but when you were done with it, you'd sell it for 300.
Bob
Yeah. J.D.
John Clay Wolf
You were talking about something a minute ago, and I said, save it.
Turley
He's supposed to be doing the top 10 with Casey. Casey?
John Clay Wolf
No, no.
JD
Casey is on sabbatical. Sabbatical.
Turley
So that sounds like somebody just forgot to do Casey.
John Clay Wolf
Casey.
JD
All right, so maybe Casey is not doing too well.
John Clay Wolf
If Casey can't make it on time after he's dead and do our top 10, then maybe we need to hire Bob Kingsley. Oh, look at that.
Turley
Throw white man out.
JD
One lunch with Bob Kingsley. Now you're buddies. You're gonna thr.
John Clay Wolf
I think we should write a good.
JD
Top, you know, John, kiss my ass.
John Clay Wolf
I think. I think we should write a good Bob Kingsley. A good top 10. And I'll send it to Bob and see if he'll read it for us. He might. He's pretty salty.
Bob
How do you wind up at lunch with Bob Kingsley?
JD
Yeah, really.
John Clay Wolf
It's a long story, but we have a very good mutual.
Bob
Is it anything like the mother in law story?
JD
And I decided not to do Bob.
John Clay Wolf
The stepmother's story.
Bob
Yeah, the stepmother's.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, it's nothing like the stepmother story. We have a mutual friend, and we. We had lunch yesterday. We got to talking radio, and it was great to hear his stories. He's been doing that American Top 40 Country Countdown since 1974.
Bob
You know, John, I bought these undies at Saks Fifth Avenue.
JD
Man. I really.
Bob
Number one in my book.
JD
I was working a small market radio station in Missouri, K O, K O. Coco Radio. And we ran American top 40. It came on an album. It came out on an actual press. It blew me away. Could do that because it's timely and they had to get you the albums by the time the show aired.
John Clay Wolf
And that's what we were talking about because now they don't even use satellite. He doesn't use satellite uplink to get it. He pushes it through the web. Oh. So they. They write it on Sunday afternoon and have a writer's meeting and they record it on Monday at his ranch in Weatherford, Texas. He has a big studio and then they edit it on Wednesday and they push it out on Thursday. But he said, boy, it's a lot easier. Back in the day when we were doing it on vinyl, I'm like, what? Vinyl?
JD
Vinyl, Yeah, I still have them somewhere.
John Clay Wolf
They would. They would record them on that big recording studio, the 2 inch. The 2 inch tape, and run it down to the record manufacturer, California. And they press them.
JD
Yep.
John Clay Wolf
So. And then they mail them out. He said, boy, it was a bitch when. When the mail didn't make it and the PDs calling from XYZ station and they don't have. Because this is a big deal.
JD
Yep.
John Clay Wolf
It's a timely deal. It's a weekly deal. They have to have it.
JD
Right.
John Clay Wolf
He said there were plenty of times when we'd have people run across the country to deliver the damn.
JD
I always wondered what would happen if it didn't show up. Yeah, it always showed up.
Bob
Very cost effective either. But there were. There were like five built in records in that pack. It was a big white pack.
JD
Big white pack, yeah.
Bob
Brownish gold logo on the front.
John Clay Wolf
And you used to play them too, Bob. Yeah, yeah. So I want to understand. So you play the record. Good morning, it's Bob Kingsley, America's Hop. And then they brought to you by Chevy Trucks.
JD
Right.
John Clay Wolf
But when they go to break and they play their network commercials on the album, how would y' all play your locals, Bob? Well, there's.
Bob
I mean, it's any vinyl record, there's a. There's a space between the track you're on and the track coming up. And when it fades out or gives a cue, you just pot it down.
John Clay Wolf
Would it give a cue or would you just know it's fade.
JD
You just know the jingles. American top 40. I mean, you know, they handle the network break. Yes.
Bob
Yeah, yeah, It'd be an obvious break.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And then y' all play your local Borage.
Bob
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Just, you know, and come back and then just set that. So if you screwed up and if you screwed up and scratched or did it ever have a scratch, I just didn't know they were on vinyl. Did you ever screw up and put the needle on the wrong place?
Bob
Whoops.
John Clay Wolf
Hang on. Bob will be right back.
Bob
That can happen with any vinyl.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bob
I had a drunk friend sit down on a record that was playing once. What was cool about those things? We had Terrible service from Capitol Records.
JD
Okay.
Bob
Back in the day, and this is 1988, when Garth Brooks was brand new, or probably 89, maybe friends in Low Places had just come out, and we didn't have the 45.
JD
All right.
Bob
We didn't have the single. And this is the biggest song in the country. I mean, it was on its way up the charts.
JD
Yep.
Bob
But you remember when Friends in Low Places came or we had the American Country Countdown album.
JD
No, you pulled it off that.
Bob
And so, you know. And Bob Kingsley always talks up now, right this week, Garth Brooks and Friends in Low Places.
JD
Yeah. But he walks right up to the lyrics.
Bob
Yeah. So we didn't have any intro on it. So our version of Friends in Low Places started right there.
JD
Blame it all.
Bob
Blame it all on my. There was no intro at all.
JD
You stole it off the album.
Bob
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Rick, good morning. You're on there a.
Bob
Part of it. And that's what it sounded like.
John Clay Wolf
Rick. Rick. Mike, do you have the caller?
JD
You could have run to Walmart, you know. Rick, are you there for 99 cents?
John Clay Wolf
Huh? I see Rick, but I don't hear Rick. Yeah.
Caller
John, I want to ask you about your stepmother.
JD
Here we go.
John Clay Wolf
What about my stepmother?
JD
Now, when you in the room with.
Caller
Your stepmother and seeing how lingerie. Which one of y' all holds the chicken bucket?
John Clay Wolf
I'm telling you, it scared the hell out of me. It. It really? Because no doubt, you know, when a stepmom comes into your life later on.
JD
Right.
John Clay Wolf
You don't look at her like a mom.
JD
And she's hot.
Caller
No.
John Clay Wolf
And she's hot.
JD
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So she was a trophy wife at the time.
JD
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
And it was. It was. God, it was uncomfortable. So what happened in Looking back. Yeah, sure. I should have done it.
Bob
No, But.
John Clay Wolf
But no, of course I should have done it.
JD
But after you saw her later, how was that like you saw the next day? Was it awkward? Was it weird?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, you sure look good in those jeans. You ought to wear those other.
JD
So she kept that up.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
JD
So when the one time.
John Clay Wolf
I'm drunk, we were disconnecting a bed one time.
JD
Oh, boy.
John Clay Wolf
Like the frame of a bed. And she's sitting at one end and I'm sitting at the other, and she's in her robe with nothing under it, and we're sitting on the ground, and you can imagine how your legs are when you're, like, working on the ground.
Bob
Of course.
John Clay Wolf
So I know I've seen things on her that I never planned on seeing. She'd be in there cooking and rope. She's a real robe woman. And her old stuff was hanging out and she had plenty of it.
JD
Did her dad? Didn't your dad ever say hey, he wasn't around.
Bob
Trophy wives are expensive, JD.
JD
I've heard. I only got married once.
John Clay Wolf
Rick on line one. Are you there? I don't know where he is. Oh, because the collar button's not up there. Rick, are you there?
Caller
Yeah, I'm here.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Sorry about that. That's my fault. And we had to talk about my stepmother, too. What have you got, Rick?
Caller
I was calling in with the 2007 Tahoe. Just gone down to Carmax to get a bid and wanted to see what you guys could do for me.
John Clay Wolf
Well, how many miles are on your Tahoe?
Caller
About 130,000, give or take.
John Clay Wolf
Does it have leather? Does it have a roof? Does it have navigation?
Caller
Yeah, it's fully loaded. Lqz.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Caller
Navigation, roof, heated seat, Anything wrong with it? You know, besides your normal wear and tear, you know, it's a pretty decent little.
John Clay Wolf
What color?
Caller
Black. Black.
John Clay Wolf
Are you at Carmax right now?
Caller
I'm not. I just left car.
John Clay Wolf
So you've got their offer letter in your hand?
Caller
I do.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. So how serious are you about selling it?
Caller
Oh, I'm dead serious.
John Clay Wolf
So, like, if I don't beat their offer, are you going to turn around and sell it to them?
Caller
Absolutely.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Huh. Well, do I get to know their offer? Do I have to offer first?
Bob
It's more exciting if you don't.
Caller
They offered me 8,000.
Bob
Oh, I man.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well. Huh. Where's the title?
Caller
The title is at my safe in my house.
John Clay Wolf
All right, well, run and get your title. And you live up in Dallas, Fort Worth, right?
Caller
Yes, sir, I do.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, running. Get your title. Is it registered in your name?
Caller
Yes, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And bring it over to our office or we'll come to you either way and we'll write you a check for 8,500.
Caller
Sounds good.
Turley
Bam.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I like that.
Caller
Too.
John Clay Wolf
Our guarantee is if we don't beat Carmax, we'll overnight you a check for a hundred hundred dollars if you show us your offer letter and we don't beat it. I owe you 100 for the opportunity.
JD
Nothing to lose by making this call.
John Clay Wolf
I've got a hundred dollars to lose. He's got. He's got nothing to lose. Nothing to lose. And that's how we work. That's how we roll, dog. So it will be just in and out. Go to givemetheven.com and go ahead and load it up and say John's buying this for 8500 and I'm getting my title and I'll be there at 2 o' clock or whatever. Our buyers are leaving today at 4 so don't get here before, don't get here after 3. Just to give us a minute to. I've got a checkbook downstairs. I'll get it signed today because I mean our business office is closed but I've got a. I've got an emergency checkbook for Saturday people.
Caller
All right, all right, perfect. Thanks so much, guys. Great to hear you guys on the air.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, sir. His money. 800, 800 radio. 800, 800 7234.
Bob
Go on.
John Clay Wolf
Yes, we're located in Dallas Fort Worth, but. And yes, you're listening to us hundreds of miles away in different cities. And yes, we can do the same thing in your city. But. There's no but.
Turley
How, how, how's this possible?
JD
John, how can you get my car?
John Clay Wolf
We have transportation. We've got four car trailers and 10 car.
JD
We have Uncle Roy.
John Clay Wolf
We have a transportation department that trucks running up down the highway all the time and we have electronic apps and the truck drivers have checkbooks in case if you want it now and they're in your city, if not, when they come back in, we give them the packages with the checks in them. We have the deals all done and we send them out with their pickup orders and they go to your house.
JD
And pick up your car, give you the cash.
John Clay Wolf
Just don't lie about the condition. Oh yeah, that's the only thing we.
JD
Ask that doesn't happen much.
John Clay Wolf
It really doesn't. But God, it's so disappointing because when they get there, they do test drive it. Well, second gear's out. You know, you left that little nugget of information out.
JD
It doesn't really back up. I mean, what do you call reverse?
John Clay Wolf
If we go pick your, your car up and we're giving 7,000 for it and second gear's out, we're going to cut it two grand. Yeah, we're not looking for a reason to cut them. We don't, we don't cut many of them back. But when, when, if the air conditioner's out and you forgot to tell us we're going to cut it 500. All we see is pictures and all we know is what you tell us. And as long as it's a little this, a little that, a little hum, a little dent if, you know, if we can fix it for 150, we'll get over it.
JD
Yeah, but the majority of people tell you the truth.
John Clay Wolf
Most of them, yeah.
JD
Most of them do.
John Clay Wolf
I'd rather buy cars from the public than the dealers because we buy several hundred cars a month from the dealerships. Your. Your trade ins is what they are. And, oh, they lie all the time. Oh, my God.
JD
Car dealers, they're making it up.
John Clay Wolf
They lie to me more than they lie to you guys. If y' all think it's bad, try my side. Turley knows.
Turley
Just straight face looking at you.
JD
You really couldn't have any friends in this business because you can't have friends you can't trust.
John Clay Wolf
Not real friends. No, my real friends. I really don't do much business with them. Because you get so butthurt when they sell you out. Or they lie and it makes you question your entire relationship with them.
JD
That would get old. That would get so old to me.
John Clay Wolf
800, 800 radio. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4 is the calling. What's funny?
Bob
Just talking about being in the business. You know how imperfect I was as a. As a salesman in the car business.
Caller
Right, right.
Bob
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
He used to work for us at Wolford Dodge. Oh, really?
Bob
I had a month of April one time when I sold zero cars.
JD
How does that happen? A whole month?
Bob
It's. I. I don't listen. It's in. It's inexplicable. And I had no.
John Clay Wolf
I was always getting on his ass, and he'd start making fun of me. Oh, the reason.
Bob
The reason I never made fun of you.
JD
Oh, my God, you still do. What do you mean?
Bob
The voice thing?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, Bob. Oh, you need to. I mean, you can do it better than I can. Hey, Bob.
Bob
But that's not making fun of me. That's just a natural thing. I go into voices, man. I'm a little nuts.
John Clay Wolf
I know, but he. But when I had walked into the room. When he's entertaining the rest of the staff with my impersonation.
JD
The boss caught you.
Turley
Wait, what was this big impromptu.
John Clay Wolf
Here we go down there.
Bob
We're gonna drive them all out of business. We're gonna take over the Chevy house. We're gonna take over the Ford house. Then we're gonna go to Wichita. We're gonna take over the Chrysler house.
JD
Bob, can I see you in my office?
Bob
Put them on their knees.
Caller
On their knees.
JD
Damn it.
John Clay Wolf
We did pretty good.
JD
Were you one of those owners that was always just screaming at him?
Bob
He wasn't. He wasn't saying that.
John Clay Wolf
No, I wasn't screaming at people. I wasn't a screamer. I'M a moaner, not a screamer.
Bob
Occasionally you were pretty interesting.
John Clay Wolf
Like what?
Bob
I can't remember anything specific though. John's pretty, pretty free floating guy. Pretty easygoing guy who thinks.
John Clay Wolf
Chris, good morning. You're on the air.
Caller
Hey, how's it going?
John Clay Wolf
Good. Just having fun.
Caller
Yes, it sounds like it. I just wanted to touch base with you guys and just let your listeners know that what, what you guys say, it's absolutely true. Two months ago we, we brought our vehicle to the dealership to trade down. We had a 2014 Tundra Platinum and we weren't happy with what the dealership offered us and trade in and we brought it to you guys and you gave us 3, $500 more than the dealership offered us.
John Clay Wolf
3, 500.
Caller
3,500.
John Clay Wolf
God, that makes me feel stupid, man. I mean, I could have just beat him by 15, right. I had to beat him by 35, man. Go big. Oh, wow.
Caller
We didn't even tell you guys what the, what the dealership offer was, but I knew it was worth more than what we were.
John Clay Wolf
So did you tell the dealer what we did?
Caller
I most certainly did.
John Clay Wolf
And what did they say? Hang on. Listen, this is important to me because I'm in this, I'm in and out of dealerships every day. I'd love to hear the comeback of what did they say we were hokey with? All they could do is talk us down, right? They couldn't. Something's wrong. They were probably telling. Well, what, yeah, let me, let's let you tell me what they told you.
Caller
Actually from the get go, when we were offered what we were offered, I told him I knew it was worth more than that because I'd already been on Edmunds and a couple of other sites looking at it and they refused to come up anymore. And I said, no problem, I'll just take it down the road to John Clay Wolf and we'll get it taken care of. And they said, well, that might be a good idea. And that's all they said.
John Clay Wolf
Well, actually you didn't even have, I don't know the deal, but if you're in League City, Texas, you didn't take it anywhere. We came to you, right?
Caller
No, I, we drove it down there. The deal done because other than the trade, and I had the deal I.
John Clay Wolf
Wanted, I got you. Well, awesome. I am glad that it worked out and I'm glad that we see we, you know, we do do what we say we're going to do.
JD
Sure.
John Clay Wolf
And when we, when we did go.
Caller
Ahead, we were in and out. And about 30 minutes done with a check in our hand.
John Clay Wolf
So glad it worked. And thanks for calling in.
Caller
Hey, no, thank you, guys.
John Clay Wolf
Yes, sir. $3,500 worth of thanks, I guess. Yeah, 800, 800 radio. 800-800-7234. He's talking about our office in Houston. Yeah.
Turley
Went to givemetheven.com right over there on Franken Road.
John Clay Wolf
Yep. 800, 800 radio. 800, 800-723 foe is the call in number. We're going to review a Volkswagen Passat. Not very sexy, but at least it's still running, which is better than most Volkswagens. I guess.
JD
We won't send this to Volkswagen.
John Clay Wolf
Not. Not on a pressed lp.
JD
No.
Caller
Now.
Turley
Now it's time for the ride of the week.
JD
Oh.
John Clay Wolf
2016 Volkswagen Passat was hot. Made by Hitler's army.
JD
No, it was not. What are you doing?
John Clay Wolf
I mean, it's just.
JD
Do you not want anyone.
John Clay Wolf
Do you not watch the History channel?
JD
Yeah, I get it.
John Clay Wolf
But that's a Volkswagen Beetle.
JD
They have nothing to do with it anymore. Well, no, there's no.
John Clay Wolf
And they're fine. I like them. I think I'm gonna tell the truth here.
JD
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
I think they depreciate real hard.
JD
Well, they have had some issues and.
John Clay Wolf
They scare me, so.
JD
They've had some issues this year.
John Clay Wolf
All right, we're going to review the 16 Passat 1.28 SE. The Volkswagen.
Bob
The what?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it doesn't matter. The new Passat 28. $28,000 and our last. And it's nice. I mean. Turley, did you drive it?
Turley
Yeah, it's. It's full size. Remember the Passat used to be there full size, but it wasn't.
John Clay Wolf
It's like a black series BMW. It feels like a German car. It's got the German car turns and feels, which I really like. Volkswagen is. Is making amends with the public over the scandal.
Turley
One complaint. Radio is a little confusing. It's a lot of buttons and things that you just got to. And I'm a button geek, but if you don't know what you're doing. Yeah. I mean. And then the manuals in German. So it takes a little bit to figure that out.
John Clay Wolf
Is it really? No, no. Tweaker rig.
Bob
How's it feel? It's got a lot of pickup.
Turley
Yeah. And it's got plenty of room. I mean, you can fit three kids back there, no problem.
John Clay Wolf
So who needs three kids?
Turley
Well, you've got three. Five, right?
John Clay Wolf
That's what I can say. Who needs three kids? I've got four. I understand the program, J.D. what's in the news?
JD
Well, we sort of touched on this earlier, but I'm not sure we finished with it. Johnny Manziel in trouble again. Extensive damage to a house that he rented. $31,000 worth of damage, actually.
Bob
I know.
JD
Knock some walls out, took some doors down, things like that. Evidence suggests that Mr. Manzel and his guests were consuming drugs and alcohol on the property. Oh, man. My Lord. And he was on TMZ this week with some video. He grabbed the camera. You know, the camera guys come up to him and they start videotaping him. Johnny is drunk, clearly. And my opinion. My opinion, allegedly. And he basically took the camera from the cameraman. He's like, I see you.
John Clay Wolf
I'm not drunk.
Turley
Well, we'll play that actually, coming up after the break. Yeah, the audio, great. Oh, yeah.
JD
And speaking of people that got caught, busted with drugs and such, Zach Brown. Now, here's a guy you never hear that much about. You think, you know what? There's one guy doing it right, lot of success, but he's never been in trouble. Wrong. Busted in Florida with cocaine, pot and strippers. Well, sure. The trifecta.
John Clay Wolf
I need to get into this guy.
Turley
He's good.
John Clay Wolf
I didn't know I liked him until that story.
JD
You like him because he got caught with. With strippers.
John Clay Wolf
Bob, have you. Do you listen to Zack Brown band?
Bob
Yeah, we used to play a couple of his songs a few years ago. He's kind of a buffet style.
John Clay Wolf
I was thinking he was more John Van Zant.
Bob
Well, country looks that way nowadays. He's got a. He's got a song on the mainstream rock charts. Heavy Lies Ahead, and it's. No. Yeah, it's downright. I mean, it's Zach Brown's. What the label says he was in.
JD
Florida for a charity car auction. Basically, somebody called the cops. He was a little loud. The cops came in. There's trippers, there's drugs, there's. You get the drugs for the cops.
John Clay Wolf
No.
JD
The cops even lied. The beginning. In the beginning, to protect Zach Brown. They were so starstruck. They wanted their picture with him, the whole thing. But it came out.
Turley
And Zach on his Facebook page, said that he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sorry, it wasn't me.
JD
It was another guy in a hoodie.
Bob
Thank goodness his stepmother wasn't there, because she's crazy. We'll be back with more of the John Claywell show, sponsored by givemetheven.com and.
Caller
During the few moments that we have left. We want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand.
John Clay Wolf
Now back to the John Clay Wolf Show. Hit him up right now. 1-800-800-RODE. This is the John Clay Wolf Show. What's she playing now, Mama? Don't tell me. I have this album, Cornrows and a Couple of Color Braids. Yeah. Freshman year, high school, so they've been 88. All right.
Bob
Year I graduated.

No, the cult of personality, but by.

John Clay Wolf
So Kobe got 60 points on his final game.
JD
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And he won the setup.
Turley
No, no, every time. Every time he was done. Oh, no. I mean, he scored 81 before, and then Will, you know, of course, has 100, so. But he scored 60. He did that against the Mavericks back in 2008 or so, so it's been a long time, and the guy's almost 40. Is his last game of the year. And sure enough, it took 50 shots. So it took a little bit, but.
JD
Yeah, just feeding him the ball.
Turley
Yes, they were. Every time down, it was just. The Utah Jazz knew he was going to be shooting. They knew. And he had to work to get open.
John Clay Wolf
It was.
Turley
It was actually really cool to see.
John Clay Wolf
It's.
Turley
He's a Hall of Famer. First time. No. No doubt about it. It's cool to see those guys go out with a banger. Derek Jeter a couple years back when he went out, I mean, that was awesome. His last, you know, win the game. Oh, what do you have?
John Clay Wolf

Bob
Well, thank you, J.D. it's always been my favorite aftershave.
Caller

Turley
It's Wallace Edwards is here.
JD
Wallace Edwards.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
JD
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
I didn't know it was Paul Harvey. No, Paul's dead, Casey Case.
Bob
I've worn brood ever since I worked with Bob over at Crest Cadillac.
John Clay Wolf
All right, Wallace, what have you got for us today, sir?
Bob
Today in rock history, John.
John Clay Wolf
Well, who is your topic, Wallace Metallica okay, well, take it away. I'm interesting to learn.
Bob
It's a well known trend that the rock and roll of today carries more of a decidedly angry tone than much of the genre's output from years past. And while the instrumentation and overall vibe of some of that old music is pretty heavy, there's no denying that since the 80s, much of the body of modern rock music sounds like it was composed by a swarm of murderous enraged truck drivers in the depths of a pronounced methamphetamine binge. And while modern scholars and critics insist that there's a new and more pronounced sense of angst and aggression present in many of today's best selling acts, the trend seemed to have started in the 80s with a band called Metallica who came by their pessimistic outlook and overall crappy attitude the old fashioned way through ancestry, especially on the part of lead singer and primary songwriter James Hetfield. From an early age Hetfield had anger, despair being the child of a shipping supervisor for Pilgrim's Pride, an occupation that caused the elder Hetfield to exude the rancid smell of freshly butchered Pull poultry and Swisher cigars. His mother Cynthia was a professional opera singer, but a bad one, which served to fill the Hetfield home with a near constant off pitch wailing that made young James life all but unbearable. That is until the breadwinner came home to thoroughly stink up the place. And of course diet played a part in creating a sense of dead end day to day as the senior Hetfield's place of employment ensure that there'd be chicken for mealtime, in fact for every single meal time, three times a day, seven days a week. In fact, to this day even the mention of chicken can send James Hetfield into a violent belligerent fury. But the Hetfield story, and its anger apparent goes back even further than the Hetfield family of the 1960s. Most Metallica fans are unaware of the fact that the basic storyline from the screenplay of the 1997 film Titanic was based in great part on the life of Hetfield's grandfather Jack Hetfield, who met a rich American girl named Rose DeWitt during the maiden voyage of the British luxury liner. And while the film portrays their relationship as one of timid awakening and ill fated devotion, in truth Jack and Rose met while boarding the ship and spent the next few four days in Rose's cabin rutting like rabbits. Which would have made for a happy ending. Or rather about 120 happy endings, give or take, if it hadn't been for that iceberg. And for the record, unlike in the film, it wasn't Jack Hetfield, but The debutante Rose DeWitt, who perished shortly after the ocean liner broke in half, leaving the elder Hetfield alone in America without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of, or certainly any of the DeWitt family fortune that he'd been angling for all along. In fact, Jack DeWitt died penniless in Africa in 1947, searching for an elusive blood diamond that he never found. And leaving his son, Virgil Lee Hetfield of the Pilgrim's Pride Company of Downey, California, to fend for himself in a world full of heartache and anguish, with nothing to give to an honest working man, but nonstop amateur opera, singing, free poultry, and a rebellious hippie son with a taste for hard rock and roll and a genuinely hideous attitude. Admit it, you'd be a little more pissed off, too. And it all started aboard the ill fated RMS Titanic on this day in rock history. I'm Wallace Edwards.
John Clay Wolf
Things. You didn't know that now you do.
JD
Nobody knew.
Turley
So I'm confused. Is it Leonardo DiCaprio is his dad or. I'm getting confused here, Jack.
John Clay Wolf
What was Leonardo's character name in Titan?
Bob
Jack.
John Clay Wolf
Jack what? Hetfield.
Turley
Yeah, but he also was searching for a diamond, too.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, in Africa.
Bob
And he never found it?
Caller
No.
JD
I don't know so sure any he.
Bob
Did find a sack load of Quaaludes.
John Clay Wolf
No.
JD
Now you're.
Bob
Started his own stock brokerage.
John Clay Wolf
Why does Wallace lie?
JD
Why?
John Clay Wolf
Michael, good morning, you're on the air.
Caller
How are you?
John Clay Wolf
Good, good, good. Just listening to Bob O tell lies.
Bob
It's absolutely true, John.
John Clay Wolf
2015 Tacoma. Is it a double cab?
Caller
Double cab, TRD Sport.
John Clay Wolf
TRD Sport, pre runner, two wheel drive.
Caller
Yeah, it's two wheel drive.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. TRD Sport. So it's an automatic and it has 15,000 miles. What color?
Caller
It's blue leather.
John Clay Wolf
Cloth roof. Nav.
Caller
Cloth, no roof.
John Clay Wolf
They don't.
Caller
They didn't come with nav.
John Clay Wolf
I'm in one right now that has nav. I'm driving this truck right now and it's got factory.
Caller
Maybe it may be a 2016, but 2015, it wasn't offered.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, is that when I have got a 16? I don't know. All right, what do you want for it? You know, I'm looking it up. I gave 26 grand for this.
Caller
Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking I'm somewhere in that area. I just. I'm just kind of wondering about. I want to. I'M looking at a ES350 Lexus. And I'm just wondering about, obviously, tax credit, right? I mean, I think that these things hold their value pretty well. And so I'm thinking, you know, there's somewhere around 25, 5, which I felt was fair. And then you get the tax credit, which brings it up a little bit more.
John Clay Wolf
So they hit it at 25, 5.
Caller
I mean, I'm thinking 20. I was hoping that they would do the 26,000 plus the tax credit. But like I said, we're about $500 off of that.
John Clay Wolf
So if I give you the 26, you tell them I'm 26, they sell it to me as a dealer doing in and out, you get your tax credit, everybody's gold. Let me, let me walk you through.
Caller
That again at that point.
John Clay Wolf
So if I give you a draft made out to your dealership. What. What dealership is it?
Caller
Hello?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, can you hear me? Hello? Excuse me, can you hear me? Are you there? I lost him.

John Clay Wolf
Hey, I think this is a car for our new character to bid Salami Hussein.
Turley
Oh, we have Salami Hussain in studio.
John Clay Wolf

Bob
Oh, you will like me very much very soon. I tell you that very soon, my friend. A 2003 Chrysler Voyager. This is a fine, fine automobile. They are no good, generally until you have 240,000 miles on them. This is because of the passenger ride. Unless you have a very fat wife.
Caller
Looks like I got a wife. No, my wife's very good looking.
John Clay Wolf
Kenny. She's there with us. Yeah, Salami. You just insulted his wife and she's on the phone.
Bob
It's no insult. My name is Salami.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Caller
Okay, that's good.
Bob
Because a fat wife makes the seats nice and fit in and very comfortable. Do you understand comfortable?
Caller
No, I don't understand.
Bob
And there is nothing more comfortable than 240,000 miles on a Chrysler Voyager.
Caller
Nothing's broken down on the truck, on the. On the van. I'm very proud with it.
Bob
What do you think?
Caller
What are we looking on a trade in value?
Bob
What do you think of $200 U.S. $200? No, no, you're saying it's wrong. $200 U.S. yeah.
Caller
$200. Okay. U.S. dollars.
JD

John Clay Wolf
It's called an in and out. So I give you 26. They wholesale it to me. That's how you're going to get your tax credit. In order to get your tax credit, they have to take the car, or not even the car, just the VIN number. You could give me the car before you even go, I give you a draft. Made out to whom? You said a Lexus store or a Toyota store. What's the name of the dealership?
Caller
Yeah, Lexus. And that's another question that I have for you as well. Do these, as far as these Lexuses, I mean, is there. How close to invoice can you get on these cars? Or is that even possible?
John Clay Wolf
Everything's different. Everything's possible. The, the. The factory does different rebate schedules on cars all the time. Have dealer cash, 500 over. You can get a deal on Alexis. What are you buying?
Caller
ES350.
John Clay Wolf
They'll do it for 500 over. That's just their normal one. So have them call me or go to give me the vin.com, load that, load the VIN number in so I can lock the VIN number down and then we can communicate with you. I can give your dealer my cell phone. He can call me. I can verify the 26,000 and do the in and out, and then you get the tax credit. Thank you, sir. 800. 800 radio is how you get a hold of us. Or just go to givemetheven.com. we're gonna be here till noon.

You look like Johnny Menzel after a rough night.
John Clay Wolf
They have the automation down where I don't even know if there's a board op in there. They just run. Shouldn't be said. It just runs. And when we change our clock, when we make the next move.
Turley
Can't wait to do that.
John Clay Wolf
When we make the next move to the new format, which is coming up in maybe a month, maybe two weeks. Okay, we're gonna go. Segment, stop, set one song. Segment, stop, set 1 song. All right. And he's like, man, just give me. Give me a heads up so that I can reprogram the automation, because if you call me on a Thursday and you're on a Saturday, it won't work. Won't have time to fix it. Just FYI.
Turley
Yeah, they got to make sure the brakes are the same amount.
John Clay Wolf
So whenever we need to give all these affiliates a good solid week to change their logs at least.
Turley
Oh, yeah, okay.

He is amazing.
Bob
Worry not.
JD
Speaking of Manzel, by the way, lucky to be alive. Did you see the video or the pictures of this car that he was supposedly riding in? Johnny Manzel, Lucky to be alive, he said, because the wreckage. And they show. TMZ shows the pictures of it. The entire passenger side, which supposedly he was on, is just smashed beyond recognition. Let's see, what kind of car was it? It was a Mercedes Benz S550, essentially total. The entire front end just destroyed. Now, this looks to me to be the same car he got in earlier that evening after the tmz. He does this little thing. Tmz. One of the. One of the cameraman comes.
John Clay Wolf
He just crashed a car.
JD
Yeah, he just crashed last night. Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Well, hold on.
Turley
Not last night.
John Clay Wolf
Good for him.

Turley
Well, yeah. And here's some of the audio of him just arriving.
JD
Oh, this is the audience that was on tmz.

It was angry.
John Clay Wolf
It reminds me of the old story from the Carmax buyers where a guy, they gave a guy an offer at Carmax and they found the offer letter on the floor of the bathroom with a big mound of fecal matter on top of it. When I saw this guy's text messages, it reminded me of that. I said, let's have some Fun with was 5:00 clock on a Friday. It sounded like he'd been drinking by the way he was texting. Yeah, let's have some fun. So I was like, Megan, she's our logistics. She's our office manager. She's real sweet. It's Vanilla Ice's niece.
JD
Literally.
John Clay Wolf
Literally. And she. I said, come up to the radio station, the studio, let's call this guy and record this for the show. Sure. And you just be straight faced. Be a customer service rep calling to follow up and see what he says. And then I had Roy sitting there to be the manager.
JD
Right.
John Clay Wolf
But the guy cut loose before we could get Roy involved. But it's. It's worth listening to. Turley. You got it? Yes. We're ready. Let's. Let's play the. The result.

Caller
That's an ass who flipping. I'm glad you. I'm glad you can read. Yeah. You lowballed me so it upset me.
John Clay Wolf

John Clay Wolf
So whose ass you fixing the whoop, boy?

Caller
Bring it on home to daddy.
John Clay Wolf
I'm gonna open a can of whoop ass on your black ass.

John Clay Wolf
And speaking of Roy. Speaking of Roy. Yeah, we sent him to Corpus Christi.
JD
Okay. This is Uncle Roy.
John Clay Wolf
Yes. A person went in to give me the vin, okay, With a Corvette. She was selling her deceased father's Corvette. We bought it over the website. Roy jumped on a plane to Southwest. He got a cab to her home.
JD
What could possibly go wrong?
John Clay Wolf
And he. He got a cab to her home and to pick up the car and pay for it, drive it back to Dallas.
JD
Right.
John Clay Wolf
And here's his version of the events.
Turley
All right, so what were you telling John about? There was a girl down in Corpus.
Caller
Oh, yeah? Yeah. You know, I flew down Carpus Wednesday. She was probably picking me up at the airport. So when I landed, she texted me, said that she's a little underweather. She can't get to the airport, so we catch cab. So I text her back as who picking up the feet? She said, I'm picking up the fee and tipping. I say, okay, I'll be there. So when I get there, she got all the breakfast tacos for me.
John Clay Wolf
Really? Really, man.
Caller
And she had some carpenters there. And the carpenters say, hey, man, going in there. And when I walks in the front door, she hollering in the back, come on back here. Come on back here. I goes in the bedroom, man, and she had a damn nanny on just right here. You kidding? I ain't lying to you. And she said. She said, me and my boyfriend Gavin, we. We fell out, and. And I'm a little drunk today, but I'm all right, you know, I ain't drunk drunk, but I'm all right.
Turley
Wait, so she had carpenters there doing some work.
Caller
Yeah.
Turley
And she had you go back to the back.
Caller
They send me all through the house and when I got to the living room, she said, come on back in. Come on back in. So I went on back there, you.
John Clay Wolf
Know.
Caller
I say, oh my God. She said, the breakfast be here in a minute. About five minutes later, here come the little shuttle.
Turley
Wait, wait. So what were you doing for the five minutes there with her, huh? Were you just chatting with her, talking and sitting there?
Caller
My sitting there shaking? Hunter boyfriend just broke up. He could walk in there anytime. You know what I'm saying? He can walk in that house anytime. And I'm back there with his wife, his girlfriend, and she's half naked, you know. And by this time, here come the delivery boy with the taco. She had bought me three big burritos. Then she gave me her credit card. The boy didn't pay the cab. She gave me the pin number. She gave me everything. The cab fare was $67. She told me, get a cabin, $20 tip. I went out there and paid with her credit card. Then I goes back in there. Sit down. You need to sit down. I ate one. I ate one burrito. As I gotta go. She said, you ain't gotta go. When I get dressed, I'm gonna show you the town. I said, no, I gotta go, man. Oh, why didn't you stop? No, no, no, no. Boy, that's a suicide mission, man. I can't do that now. Oh, and I'm telling you, on a scale from one to ten, she was eight and a half.
Turley
Oh my God.
Caller
I wouldn't lie to you. She's eight and a half.
Turley
Just get her out of the house, you know, stick around.
Caller
Hey, man, that was surprising right there. That shocked the my. Now I'm a playoff. But that knocked me off my feet right there.
Turley
You weren't expecting that?
Caller
Oh, heck no, I wasn't expecting that. I'm expecting to walk in that door and somebody throw me some out the front door.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah.
Caller
You know, but I'm going back into her bedroom.
Turley
Was she a white girl or.
Caller
Yeah, yeah.
Bob
Really?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah.
Caller
I'm mean, she live in one of these hot doll ass houses. She even text me to code to get in the gate. I mean, I had everything.
Turley
How, what is she, like 30s, 40s?
Caller
I say she in her late 30s.
Turley
Oh, damn, that's perfect.
Caller
That's perfect, man. I'm telling You I had. That's when I had to leave. That's the reason I had to leave. When I left all the way back up, she texted me three times. Did she really text me three times? You doing fine? You ain't sleepy? You ain't tired? No, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. She said the next day time you come back to Carpus, my number's the same and the gate code is going to be the same.
John Clay Wolf
Really?
Turley
You got to set.
John Clay Wolf
You got to hook up in Corpus.
Caller
Hey, man, now that's suicide. That's a suicide mission right there. And I. I don't go on suicide mission no more. But 20 years ago they had to shoot me cuz I wouldn't have I been.
Bob
Sell us your car. So easy you can do. Do it in your underwear.
John Clay Wolf
And she was.
Bob
She did the one thing I really didn't think about before. And this casts a little doubt on. On, you know, Roy's judgment. He can eat a burrito. He can stay long enough to eat a. A burrito. You know what I mean? Yeah, but nothing to do with the woman.
JD
Well, yeah, because eating a burrito, the boyfriend walks in. You don't get, you know, look, if.
Bob
The boyfriend walks in, broke up with him. Yeah. If you're there, period. I mean, it doesn't matter if you're eating a burrito or balancing your check.
John Clay Wolf
You're guilty.
Bob
Yeah, you're guilty.
JD
I guess.
Bob
So take, you know, take the hit, buy the ticket, take the ride.
JD
Roy. But no, as long as you get your clothes on, there's nothing going on. He can hold the paperwork up and go. Look, I'm just here to pick up a car.
Turley
That's it, I'm gone.
JD
But your clothes are off. The car thing falls apart.
Bob
How about if you stand there eating a burrito?
John Clay Wolf
This is not the Roy that I knew.
JD
I know, but he's the smart Roy.
Turley
Everybody here in the room. If we weren't married.
JD
Weren't married.
Turley
Would have. Right?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Turley
I mean, would you, Babo? I mean, you're not married. Even so.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bob
My maneuver is to get her into a different place. Let's. Come on.
John Clay Wolf
Why she want right there?
Bob
Because it alleviates.
John Clay Wolf
She's drunk, she's naked, and you're in her bedroom. Where you want to take her.
JD
Yeah. You get that done happening?
Bob
Hotel six?
John Clay Wolf
Man, why?
JD
No. Then you got to get back kind.
Turley
Of like his thinking. Because if she's going to show him, that's what she offered to Uncle Roy to show him around town.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, sure, it's on her dime.
Turley
What the hell, why not, right?
JD
Well, first of all, he doesn't have a car. Oh, I guess they could take it.
Bob
Alleviates the probability of something unexpected occurring walking in.
JD
That's true.
John Clay Wolf
Or maybe really slick hustler and she's trying to cover a problem with the car.
JD
Oh, we didn't even think about that angle.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, you never know. I've been screwed every way but Sunday. And I don't mean like Roy was fixing to be. Really?
Turley
I didn't think about that.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, back in the day when there was a lot of hand to hand wholesaling going on. Yes, the auctions weren't very prevalent. The hustle was to get a hot girl and send her around to the used car manager's offices at the dealerships to sell her car. And they would always work. I never did it, but Shane, my old car dealer buddy was telling me about it. Send a girl into the used car manager's office with a gorgeous hot chick.
JD
Makes sense.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, I need to sell my rig. Looks over time and they would say I work for so and so but because the draft had to be make out to that dealer. But it'd work.
JD
Lean over the desk. Hello.
John Clay Wolf
And have hot chicks delivering your cars.
Bob
I've seen that. Even just a few years ago.
Turley
Well, no, that brings a great point up because givemetheven.com is growing. We're moving to a new office. We're gonna have a reception area. I think it'd probably be wise if we hired somebody like that for the greeting.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Turley
Don't you think?
John Clay Wolf
Well, I mean a lot of these people would never see them. I think we should have them at like Hooters, girls picking up the cars.
Turley
But there's some people that bring them to us too sometimes.
John Clay Wolf
That's true.
Turley
Just to have for a little presence.
John Clay Wolf
It's, it's, you know.
JD
Well, speaking of Real Housewives did Bravo, the TV network cast a porn star in the new Real Housewives of Dallas. Her name is Tiffany Hendra. But her, she's known as an actress known as Tiffany Bolton. And you may think, well what, what, you know, what's the tie in here? So they cast her on this show and she's done some things for hotel network Cinemax.
John Clay Wolf
JD Was in a porno on Cinemax. I was not on a porno.
JD
I was in a film that ended up on Cinemax that had some nudity. She's been in some movies called scandalous behavior, 12 hot women and Black Tie Nights.
Bob
Oh, I saw that man.
JD
And she says, no, these are just. These are just B movies, but actually they show screen captures and they're not B movies, so, you know, basically the Real Housewives of Dallas. I know you're gonna be shocked. Might be all a setup.
John Clay Wolf
They may not actually be better than the heavy ones. I like those Cinemax movies better than that.
JD
That all you don't like all you can eat.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. It's just too much.
JD
So. Yeah. The movie I was in is called Seduction of Innocence. And it was.
John Clay Wolf
It's not a porn. Seduction. It was not a porn.
JD
I was like the. I was the male lead. I was the cop.
Turley
Did you have to get naked?
JD
No. On another note, happier note.
Bob
So why were you credited to a character named Drive Shaft?
JD
I was not. My character was Jim Chapman.
John Clay Wolf
What is up with the drive through people?
JD
Well, here we go again.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I. I've been on my road trip this week. I'm driving that damn Toyota Tacoma because I'm selling my truck.
JD
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And, God, those things suck, by the way. Oh, no, they're loud. The road noise. I felt like I was running up down the road in a tin can.
Bob
I don't know.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I don't know why those things bring so much money.
Bob
I got a little SR5.
JD
Or you got the big one.
John Clay Wolf
No, I got the little one.
Turley
You used a big truck.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but I mean, road noise. I can't talk on the phone. I had to wear my damn Dr. Dre beats and plug in my phone to talk to people that couldn't hear them. Yes.
JD
Maybe it was the tires, because when I had that Ford F150, the certain tires made it really loud.
John Clay Wolf
But, you know, so when you're on the road, you go through the fast food places. Sure. And you have fast food leftovers from your last fast food stop. And it might even be from the same brand, different location.
JD
Right.
John Clay Wolf
So I get my whataburger, the whole stack, and I gather up an old water burger from the day before, the. The bag of trash, and I hand it to him. Because of course, in the fast food lines, the. You ever notice that the trash cans in the fast food lines is passed. It's. They're full. You can't get into the neck every time. It's always full. Why these people don't dump their trash cans is beyond me. So then you get up there and you take it and you're like, here's. Here's yesterday's. And can you throw this away for me? No, we can't do that. I mean, have you never had this happen?
JD
Never. Well, I've never tried to give them.
Bob
Well, I think it's just a guideline. It's like hands at the buffet, you know, Some things are just not allowed. You can't. You're not allowed.
John Clay Wolf
I want to hand you this bag and you throw it in the trash. Why not?
JD
What was his name?
Bob
Because food passes through that window. Clean, fresh made food.
John Clay Wolf
Shut up.
Bob
No, really. I mean, why can't you use your hands at the buffet?
JD
It may be a health department.
Bob
It may be a regulation.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, y' all are taking up for the fast food.
JD
No, he doesn't know what you do.
John Clay Wolf
Take it up for the man.
Turley
Well, they're about to make 15 an hour, so we might need a job soon. So.
John Clay Wolf
So. But he was a jerk about it. I'm like, this is your trash. You gave it to me and I'm giving it back to you.
JD
He doesn't know what you've done with that since then. It's a health. It's a health department thing.
Bob
I promise.
John Clay Wolf
You looped it through the window.
Bob
We have actually seen this at my brother's restaurant.
JD
No, you did not.
Bob
Yes. The man comes to drive through the window. He says, can I throw my trash away? He has large barrels of toxic waste he would like to throw away. Address or. We cannot do it.
John Clay Wolf
That I understand.
Bob
Not unless he pays $150.
JD
Did you really throw it through the window?
John Clay Wolf
It was in a night.
JD
Did you throw it through the window? That's a jerk move.
Bob
That's a jerk.
John Clay Wolf
This guy was a jerk. You weren't there. You weren't there. You weren't there. This guy had attitude. He was all being cocky. I said, why don't you dump out the damn trash can back there so that I could throw it away every time it's full.
JD
You are so angry.
John Clay Wolf
I just.
JD
You're an angry man.
John Clay Wolf
I just. I'm. I'm in a hurry.
JD
I know.
John Clay Wolf
If I wasn't in a hurry, I wouldn't be in a drive through.
JD
I got you.
Bob
I'm a trash carrier. I mean, I've always got a sack of something going somewhere.
John Clay Wolf
I like that.
Bob
It never occurred to me to put it through a drive through window, though.
JD
You were throwing at him?
John Clay Wolf
Well, I had it nightly and bundled off the top so things wouldn't like it wouldn't scatter. It's just like a ball, a whataburger ball that was all crumped up real nice.
Bob
Don't you go to convenience stores or anything?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but I think that they load us up with all this trash and they should take it back. That's what I think.
Bob
I think you should wait until you see a trash can.
John Clay Wolf
But if they can't dump out their own trash can, then they're gonna get the three pointer in the head.
Bob
You're gonna see a trash can.
John Clay Wolf
I saw a trash can. It's in their drive through. And the damn. You know, because they have the neck on the trash can so you can get through. It's always stuffed full every time. Not sometimes. You have to jam it in there and you get your hand all nasty because ketchup's everywhere. Oh, no, I don't want my hands nasty. Because then I'd ask them for a napkin. They'd say, well, that's 37 cents.
JD
Oh.
John Clay Wolf
What brought this up before is I asked for kill. Ask about our sauces.
JD
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Honey mustard.
Bob
You know what?
John Clay Wolf
Hang on, Bobbo. God damn it.
JD
Oh, boy, here we go.
Turley
He's mad.
Caller
I'm.
John Clay Wolf
I'm. They asked me the up deal. Ask us about our sauces.
JD
Right?
John Clay Wolf
I'd like a honey mustard.
JD
Right.
John Clay Wolf
I've already paid. Oh, no. With my credit card. Well, that'll be 37 cents.
JD
I'm like serious.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I'm like that. So it was just rolling and bro. So I just gave it to him. Yeah, I just let him have the trash. So what does Seinfeld do?
Bob
Seinfeld. Anytime you go through the drive thru, there's an enclosed space. You can see the fence. You know the dumpster's in there, right? Y may be open, maybe closed, but it's legal. This is not against the rules to just toss your sack over the fence into that area.
John Clay Wolf
Into that area. Key word, cuz you don't know if it went in. You don't know if the dumpster's got a lid on it.
Bob
It's a designated sack area.
JD
Thanks, Jerry.
John Clay Wolf
I hear what you're saying. I shot it over.
Bob
You're the three point man. Make the shot.
John Clay Wolf
I've been guilty.
Bob
It's a designated sack area.
John Clay Wolf
I've been guilty.
Bob
Who are these people throwing sacks in the drive through window?
JD
You have lost it.
John Clay Wolf
We're drive thru car buyer or actually just online.
Bob
And you, I swear to God, we.
John Clay Wolf
Won'T leave you with any trash. 800. 800 radio is the call the number. Call us during the break. We'll bid your car right now. Or just go to giveme the VIN. Giveme the VIN.com. if I don't beat a carmax offer, I'LL overnight you a check for 100. How about that?

Host: John Clay Wolfe
Podcast Theme: Cars, sports, sex, drugs, rock & roll, and (almost) anything else.
This lively, fast-paced hour of The John Clay Wolfe Show blends the usual buying and banter on everything from classic trucks and car trade-ins, to wild stories from the auto business and tongue-in-cheek takes on pop culture. Calls from listeners discussing the cars they're looking to sell are punctuated by comedic sketches (like the infamous “Salami Hussein” character), war stories from the dealership trenches, radio nostalgia, and candid reflections on sports, rock legends, and celebrity misadventures. Through it all, John and his cast deliver unfiltered, irreverent radio that’s both informative for sellers and highly entertaining for listeners.

On selling classic trucks:
