Yeah, Bobby did well on that one.

[C]

That was awesome.

[B]

What year was that? Ten.

[D]

Maybe.

[B]

You know, we've been here a while.

[C]

Six years ago.

[B]

I know.

[C]

That long?

[D]

Oh, longer than that.

[B]

Really?

[D]

He has. Yeah.

[B]

I. I'll. It'll be 10 years for me in June.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

You've been on since 06.

[B]

God Falls and Dallas has been since 09. Yeah. It just didn't seem that long. Connie and I were talking about this yesterday because all this things finally blowing up. Everything's finally hooking up.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I was like, finally. But when I started, it took seven years.

[C]

Have I been doing this? 5. Somebody give me a. What am I what?

[D]

Really?

[B]

I hear you, man. Speaking of funny. So I'm at Clear Channel's office in Dallas on Tuesday. We have radio when I'm meeting you.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I heart media, iheartmedia and your old co host from the show that we're not supposed to talk about.

[C]

Right.

[B]

They saw me in there two weeks ago.

[C]

The people from the show did.

[F]

Yeah. Okay.

[B]

The rest, smart show guys.

[C]

Right.

[B]

And. And then Tuesday they saw me again.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

And Dan walked up to me, he's like, what are you doing here?

[C]

Did he really? Really.

[B]

Was he being really weird like that? Yeah, he was like. He said it like that, like a.

[C]

Little like somebody sent him to do it.

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

Yes. I promise you.

[B]

What are you doing here?

[C]

So I don't guess you saw my old friend J.D. around?

[F]

No.

[B]

And we're supposed to have to get set up for this new format. Yeah, we're gonna start having programming meetings every other Tuesday.

[C]

Well, then why would they ask? We're on the station.

[B]

Right. But I want. We're probably switching stations up there. But anyway.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

What'd you tell them?

[B]

I just said, oh, we're working on.

[C]

Was he being a jerk?

[B]

He was being concerned.

[C]

I mean, there's two different ways. There's like, hey, man, what are you doing on here? Well, there's. What are you doing here?

[B]

Yeah, just like that.

[C]

What a God.

[D]

Radio snow.

[B]

Yeah. And we're not here to get your job, dude. That's what I tell you. Yeah, but I was like, oh, we're just working on other. Other cities. We're growing for a little. Our little Saturday show.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, and he's walked off. It was very awkward.

[C]

That's just a jerk. That's a jerk move.

[B]

I forgot to tell you about that.

[C]

But yeah, that was a lot. So I think he's been around someone else.

[B]

When we do this program, it means like Tuesday after next. I think all y' all should come in.

[C]

Sure.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Let's do it.

[C]

I think everybody's sitting paranoid.

[B]

Everybody.

[D]

That's really what happens. Anytime I know, you know, J.D. anytime you see, like, where these radio guys come from, you start seeing radio.

[C]

People hanging around the building. What's going on? Then you know it's bad.

[B]

Oh, they do.

[D]

They hate it.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[F]

So it's always, who's it going to be? They don't take time to talk to talent, you know, really, by and large, unless there's a change going on.

[C]

That's funny, dude. That's funny.

[F]

In the corporate radio world, you're going.

[C]

To make them so paranoid.

[B]

The best moment, when, when the guy said you guys are radio people, that one of you has a car business, it's like, finally.

[C]

Oh, there you go. Finally you came to the inside.

[B]

Finally.

[C]

That's nice.

[B]

It took seven years.

[C]

Yeah, but.

[B]

But if you add up the years in this room, Baba, how many do you have?

[F]

Oh, man. Since 87.

[B]

Well, how many years is that? I don't really mess.

[F]

I mean, but I took like a nine year break.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

So.

[B]

But you kept like talking into your tape recorder, so.

[F]

Yeah, I do a show everywhere I go. Every. Every job.

[B]

So in 2016, minus 1987.

[F]

16 plus 30.

[B]

So there's 29. 29. J.D. what about you?

[C]

What year did you. 37 years.

[B]

37. Turley.

[D]

What?

[B]

You're one.

[D]

So 15 years yes.

[B]

Okay. And I'm 10. So hang on. We do the math here. 29 plus 37 plus 25. 91 years.

[F]

Shut the front door.

[B]

So I guess we've got enough to do it clearly. All right.

[C]

It just takes 91 years of experience. And you, too, could be on the radio. You could be a surgeon in 10, 91 combined years.

[B]

That's a lot.

[F]

Really. You can't really anymore, J.D. the way that you and I started in this business. No, you can't just find a local hub, sign on and, you know, minimum wage for.

[B]

But they were. What was. What else was funny is he kept saying, you know, how often do you meet with the PDS at Houston? I'm like, never. And he's like, why? I'm like, I haven't talked to him in years.

[C]

Trust us.

[B]

And he was like, well, exactly, Turley. I was like, well, I used to talk to one of the pds. I used to fight with him about once a quarter, and then he got fired. And really what happened was their. More their afternoon show on ESPN loosened up.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And they were like, why do you let the guys on Saturday get away with it but you won't let us do it? He's like, well, they're different. And over time, we helped break the wall down for the guys in the afternoons. And they're doing a show like ours, freeform and funny. And they're scoring number one in the sports radio. Yep. On a weak stick, on a rim shot. Very cool.

[D]

So.

[B]

So it works.

[C]

Yes, it does.

[B]

But he was like. I just can't believe. He's like. He was like, real specific. When's the last time you talked to the programming department in Houston? I'm like, whenever Dave Tepper got fired. I talked to John once, and that was about it. Yeah. It's like, really? I'm like, really?

[C]

They trust us.

[B]

Yeah. So I guess it's interesting. Let's go.

[C]

Breathe, breathe.

[B]

So we've got to go to school every two weeks now for a while.

[C]

That'll wear off.

[B]

Will it? That'll.

[C]

Yeah, that'll wear off.

[D]

There's only so much you can say when.

[C]

When you're new. They've got to put their hand on it. They got to feel like they're doing something. So after a while they'll go, whoa, okay, hands off.

[B]

We got. When we change the format of the show, though, there's going to be a song break in it for a lot of stations. So on the sports radio station, I. I need to talk to Gal, because we're going to need an intern or somebody doing a three minute sports segment.

[C]

Oh, that'd be cool.

[D]

Unless I don't know if we want an intern. You probably want somebody with some chops.

[B]

I don't care. They do it. They handle on their end. We're coming off satellite but they're going to follow this clock. So how long are sports that. How long are sports center segments normally?

[D]

A minute, but you can go two minutes easily.

[B]

How long are songs two, two, two, three to four?

[C]

Three and a half. Four.

[B]

Yeah, it's going to be interesting. Yeah, there's going to be somebody that's going to have to jump in and do the fill ins because I was like the sports clock won't line up with this FM music rock clock. We're actually now we're on Nash F country station and they want us to go on a country station in San Antonio.

[D]

All the networks are going to have to do a little work to make sure those songs they basically have, let's say five minutes.

[B]

I think we send out a clock every week with a suggested playlist that already locks in the times and they can follow it or they can change it if they want to change it.

[F]

Sure.

[D]

Thanks. Give me some more work. It's fine. Here's what I think we can do.

[B]

Well, I'd love to get control of the playlist and they don't want to give it to me. Son of a bitches. And if you lay it out there for them suggested then they'll be lazy and just take what you gave them because you already did all the back timing on it. Sure, yeah, we'll figure it out.

[C]

Michael did all the work.

[B]

We. You like the Wii?

[C]

Yeah, I like that Wii.

[F]

Yeah, you just clock it man. You do it with available windows. Start stop times.

[D]

Hey baba, you want to take the job?

[F]

I don't know. What does it pay?

[D]

Green hair is raising her hand. She wants to do it.

[F]

She probably could. I. That's the kind of thing I screw up, dude.

[B]

Oh, that's great.

[F]

No, I mean like anything important. Yeah.

[C]

Hey Bobbo. I wouldn't say that on my next job interview.

[F]

This ain't no interview, Jack.

[C]

Launching the space shutt. That's the kind of thing I screw up.

[B]

But when we start in D.C. on DC 101.

[C]

Yeah, where's that?

[B]

Washington D.C. oh, okay. So then our 8:00 clock here will be 9:00 clock there obviously.

[C]

Right.

[B]

That's not confirmed, but it's sounds pretty solid. Okay. Anyway, things are. Things are fixing to change. It Sounds like in a good way. Sounds like somebody just sent me a damn email off of our website, which was nice.

[C]

What it say?

[D]

What's the website?

[B]

I can't give me the vin.com, but there's an email jcw button on there. It says, john, really enjoy the show. And like what you're doing, the show just keeps getting better and better, Gabriel. Thanks, Gabe. Why is it getting better? It's the same crap we've been doing for stop. For years.

[D]

Don't tell everybody that it gets better.

[C]

I mean, Bobble's joined us. Yes, rejoined us.

[B]

Rejoined us.

[C]

This is slicker. This is more fun. We're relaxing. You're relaxing a little bit, too, now that we've been on a few weeks on that station up in North Texas.

[F]

See that right there, J.D. that thing you do when you say, I joined us and I rejoined us.

[C]

Right.

[F]

You're trying to make me sound shifty, man.

[C]

Oh, no, no, I'm not at all.

[F]

Yes, you did.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

You on this show before me. And then you took some time off to be by yourself first.

[F]

You make me sound shifty.

[C]

I didn't do that.

[F]

You got your dog. You're sicking your dog on everybody that walks in the door.

[C]

My dog is on the couch just asleep.

[B]

You're like.

[F]

You got a seasonal mood thing that goes on, don't you?

[C]

No. Seasonal mood.

[F]

Can't stand the weather. Can't stand the stormy weather.

[B]

Hey, I want to put a plug out. Oil field trucks. People that have fleets in this environment that are having to sell off their fleets. We buy fleets. We buy oil field trucks. Go to givemetheven.com and just load it in there and in the notes put, I've got 72 more of these or something like it. And we'll get an Excel list from you. We'll put a different buyer on it and work the whole thing. So we bought 48 the other day from a group and, yeah, we. There's a lot of oil field trucks in the system.

[C]

I bet there are.

[B]

Now. What's going on in politics? I need my update. I've been working so much, I haven't been watching the news.

[D]

It's been a slow week.

[C]

Yeah, it's like they've all settled down a little bit.

[D]

Democrats are going at it a little bit, but the Republicans have kind of just. Donald's all of a sudden decided, you know what, Maybe I shouldn't talk anymore. He actually has a new campaign manager that's taken over. Not manager, but a handler.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

Some suggestions he's taking way up.

[F]

He's tightened it way up. Now he's still sending these goofy bimbos out to every talking head show that's on the air. You know, his little female troops. Right. Bernie Sanders had a meeting with the Pope.

[B]

What did that go well?

[F]

It seems to have gone really well.

[B]

I'll tell you what Pope, the, the Pope, he's Jewish and the Pope is Catholic.

[E]

Yeah, that's true.

[B]

So wonder why they got a lot.

[F]

But the current Pope, I mean, this, this Pope is more or less kind of leaning towards some semblance of gay rights. He's all about wealth inequality. You know, does being a steward of the earth, you know, taking care of the earth. He's a very liberal Democrat sounding Pope.

[C]

Does anybody think Bernie has a chance.

[F]

And he likes Bernie?

[C]

Anybody?

[B]

No, I don't know.

[F]

But the only thing is there's so much backlash against Hillary.

[C]

Yeah, that's my point.

[F]

I mean, conservative people don't seem to hate Bernie. They just don't like the word socialist. That's their main problem with Bernie.

[C]

Can you see him as the President of the United States?

[F]

But ask him what they think about.

[B]

Hillary, they'll go off.

[F]

Yeah, I mean, unlikeability, scale.

[C]

Who wins that huge Hillary I don't like.

[F]

Hillary wins the likability.

[B]

We're on in Houston. A lot of cruise supporters in Houston.

[C]

I don't care. That's my opinion.

[D]

No, I know, but come on over, Trumpy. Wouldn't you take cruise over Trump?

[C]

God, that's so hard. I'm not sure I couldn't.

[F]

Just for pure entertainment value, Trump wins.

[C]

Well, that's true, but it just doesn't cruise make your skin kind of move.

[D]

A lot of politicians.

[B]

He's an evangelistic attorney.

[D]

At least he's got experience in life.

[C]

Well, politics negative, in my opinion. I think that's what's going on here. The pendulum that got pulled back eight years ago is being just swinging the other way ridiculously to the point of its payback time.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I think a lot of attitude. That's all it is.

[D]

So you're saying white people are angry, JD Is that what you're saying?

[C]

I'm not saying it.

[B]

Everybody else, white people that voted for Brock.

[C]

A lot, A lot.

[F]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Grand Dragon.

[C]

I did not say that.

[F]

I think our moors, I think our moors are stretching though. And we're finding that we're just the same we used to be.

[B]

Where are you bringing those cars from?

[D]

No, no, he's. That's our, that's the Painter.

[B]

Thanks, thanks, thanks.

[F]

You have the Kennedys, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

And they're kind of considered an elite class, 60s and 70s. So CNN does family round tables, right. You see Trump's, you see elitist. Then they do the Cruz family the next day. Well, do you prefer elitist or wannabe elitist?

[B]

You know, I prefer going to commercial break because the red light's blinking at me and it's time to go.

[C]

Okay.

[F]

We'll be back with more of the John Clay Wolf show after this. Brought to you by givemetheven.com.

[B]
