    • “If I had a place to put them, I’d probably buy them all because they were cheap. 600, 800. I mean, they were selling the salvage for nothing… but they’re beat to hail, no joke.” (01:12)

  Show notes an expected rise in car value due to sudden market shrinkage—tied to loss from storms.

[John Clay Wolf]

The flood waters in Houston are residing.

[Co-host Casey]

They are finally.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was pretty heavy duty.

[Co-host Casey]

Really bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

We've lost a lot of cars in the state of Texas in the past 60 days.

[Co-host Casey]

So does that change the price of cars that are still on the street? I just wondered.

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I think the market's fixing to go up. I mean, how many market. How many cars have been taken on the market between hail and flood?

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, my God.

[John Clay Wolf]

A hundred thousand.

[Co-host Casey]

A hundred thousand?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's got to. I haven't seen it in the lanes, but it's got to come. I'm probably gonna come this way.

[Co-host Casey]

What happens to those cars? The flood cars?

[John Clay Wolf]

So we had 23 cars get hail on.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bad hell, they towed. Yes, that. And that was. They totaled 10 of them. So I had the option. I was looking at that this week. Okay. So they showed us their payout amount on the totals.

[Co-host Casey]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And if we wanted to buy the salvage, then it was X. Okay. And you know, the motors are good, the Trinis are good.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, these are good cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

If I had a place to put them, I'd probably buy them all because they were cheap. 600, 800. I mean, they were selling the salvage for nothing.

[Co-host Casey]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but they're beat to hail. No joke.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, but they, they move, they drive.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I just, I'm keeping a few of them and we're going to wrap and give me the VIN stuff. That's cool. Wraps.

[Co-host Casey]

It's a great idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks. And the rest of us let them have them because I want them out of my way, out of my life.

[Co-host Casey]

I think you probably need a buddy to drive some around for you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it's just. I mean, what are you going to do with a bunch? I mean, these cars are so.

[Co-host Casey]

I think wrapping them is a great idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

We may be switching stations in Houston.

[Co-host Dave]

No answer for That I just.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know.

[Co-host Casey]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are we switching state? Are we adding Houston?

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, okay. Adding, switching. Or maybe some combination of the two.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out. This station we're on in Houston covers Beaumont in the Gold Triangle, so. Well.

[Co-host Casey]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know what we're gonna do, but we're pretty much definitely going to a rock station in Houston.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, cool.

[Co-host Dave]

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. And everybody knows. I mean, the guys I'm dealing with know. I haven't said anything to the listeners yet until just now. It'll all be good.

[Co-host Dave]

Huh?

[John Clay Wolf]

That would be a dream for me.

[Co-host Dave]

[Co-host Emily]

Listen to the lyrics, John.

[Caller]

The school books say it can't be here again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Mark Barnes. Yeah, what have you got? Let's do the old Dodge first. Does it have 200000 miles on it?

[Caller]

Yeah, 250.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a four wheel drive or two?

[Caller]

Four wheel drive one time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it on a scale of one to ten? So we got a 2002 Dodge dually extended cab or regular? Extended cab and four wheel drive. 200000 miles average. Rough or clean?

[Caller]

Oh, clean. Everything except the dash.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cracked. All the hell they all are. I bought one. Hey, did we pick that one up from Lone Star Dodge? I bought for four grand. I forgot to tell you about that. I bought one two weeks ago until. For four grand. I forgot to tell you. Pick it up. Oops. Hey, four grand. Does that work Mark?

[Caller]

No sir, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

I bought one for four. Dash was out of it cuz the dash cost a th000. What's it take to buy it?

[Caller]

Oh, way more than that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, next car. 15 GMC Sierra with 6,000 miles. How much is that one?

[Co-host Emily]

That's what you just did to those two.

[John Clay Wolf]

Geez. Well I just don't know what. No, that guy has two. And I didn't understand what we were doing. Mark, just go to givemetheven.com give me the vin.com and we'll bet it off the air and it'll go a lot smoother. These trucks have so many options and so many questions. We'll waste 20 minutes talking about this thing.

[Co-host Casey]

Got you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Getting them off the air on the website. More so that the guys, the buyers can take time with the people. The people and get the backstory and.

[Co-host Dave]

Listen, you don't have to explain anything to JD you just do what John Pink Floyd Wolf wants you to do, man.

[Co-host Emily]

All right?

[Co-host Casey]

Got it.

[Co-host Dave]

You'd be a lot cooler if you did, man. You'll have to explain that little. That little truck.

[Co-host Casey]

Everyone breathe. Everyone.

[Co-host Dave]

You don't want to talk to the man about his truck, you don't have to talk. This is John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a lot more important.

[Co-host Casey]

Your name is on here in San Antonio. Speaking of people relaxing, this guy did not the owner of the west side car dealership charged with murder after he.

[John Clay Wolf]

Changed is his name Salami Hussein?

[Co-host Casey]

It is. It is not is Amir Ayum Amira.

[John Clay Wolf]

But he owns by Mo is his nickname like the rest of.

[Co-host Casey]

He owns Auto Price Busters in San Antonio. Auto Mile Busters by Salami Hussein near Bandera Road. He is charged with murder. At some point he called the police because he said he realized a guy tried to buy a car from him with the bad check.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Co-host Casey]

Then he found the guy and killed him. Did he shot him dead.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much was the car, do you know?

[Co-host Casey]

Let me look here. If it says.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'd like to know if it's under over 5,000.

[Co-host Casey]

It says give me the vin.com bid it at. No, I'm kidding. It doesn't say but it was a. It was one of those tote the note lots. So I'm assuming it probably wasn't, you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Know, give me back my bullets. So he smoked him.

[Co-host Casey]

He smoked for. But I mean, come on, dude, really? You kill somebody over a bad check?

[John Clay Wolf]

I wonder if there's more to the story.

[Co-host Casey]

Well, what could there be?

[John Clay Wolf]

The guy, maybe he banged his old lady.

[Co-host Dave]

That couldn't be indicative of his ethnic nature, could it?

[Co-host Casey]

It has nothing to do with ethnic nature at all.

[Co-host Dave]

Are you sure? What's his name again?

[John Clay Wolf]

Salami Hussein.

[Co-host Dave]

No.

[Co-host Casey]

I kill you, Munir Ayub Amira.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did he shoot him or did he put the key in and it blew up?

[Co-host Casey]

Shot him. God.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really?

[Co-host Casey]

Really? We had to go there, really.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, we didn't. I saw that in that movie Casino. That has nothing to do with Middle Eastern.

[Co-host Casey]

No, he just drove into a building.

[Co-host Dave]

All right, I got the car bomb. Fear.

[Co-host Casey]

Hey.

[Co-host Dave]

Hey.

[Co-host Casey]

What in the. Hey, I don't want to be. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I had a lot of people ask me if that story I told about my stepmother coming on to me last week was true. Yeah, it was. You know, and I thought about that a lot this week because I haven't thought. I haven't thought about that in a while.

[Co-host Casey]

Right?

[Co-host Dave]

Huh?

[John Clay Wolf]

Like years.

[Co-host Dave]

She all right? Is she in good health?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. I haven't talked to her in 25 years.

[Co-host Dave]

I'm telling you, when you do, man, it goes right along with the Keith Richards thing. Because, listen, when you talk about these old people, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

But it made me think about. First of all, looking back, I should have just. I should have beat it. Like it. Owed me money.

[Co-host Casey]

No, you shouldn't have. No, you did the right thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I didn't.

[Co-host Casey]

You did. And that had nothing but bad written on it. Nothing. Five minutes of joy.

[John Clay Wolf]

If it hadn't been my dad's wife.

[Co-host Casey]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, then.

[Co-host Casey]

Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Co-host Casey]

You could stop right there.

[John Clay Wolf]

But. If it hadn't been my dad's wife. Right?

[Co-host Casey]

That's your punchline. Stop.

[John Clay Wolf]

If it hadn't made me think about these guys that bang their teachers.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, well, that's different.

[John Clay Wolf]

And why do they go crying about it?

[Co-host Casey]

That's when they don't. Here's what happens. They don't go crying. They go telling their friends. Their friends then become jealous, and they then tell the authorities.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now, for a woman, I completely feel different.

[Co-host Casey]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

If it's a girl.

[Co-host Emily]

Hold on.

[Co-host Dave]

Woman teacher. No, a woman student.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Co-host Casey]

Woman student with a male teacher is different than the other way around.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why is it different? I don't know, but I feel completely different.

[Co-host Casey]

It's called sexism.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll be a sexist.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah. That's what it is.

[Co-host Dave]

Not massaging.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's something new.

[Co-host Dave]

Just plain sexist.

[Co-host Casey]

You're just straight up sexism.

[John Clay Wolf]

But, you know, at what age is it? Okay.

[Co-host Casey]

Would you like the state to tell you?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no.

[Co-host Casey]

Would you like it in court?

[John Clay Wolf]

But, like, Bob, at what age? Okay. How old is your son?

[Co-host Dave]

My son?

[Guest Jeff Larson]

Yes.

[Co-host Dave]

Is 16.

[John Clay Wolf]

16?

[Co-host Dave]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

If he was banging his English teacher, what would you say to him?

[Co-host Dave]

He would never. He would never crack. He would never tell. He gets that from me. I'm not like these boys today.

[John Clay Wolf]

If.

[Co-host Dave]

Because they crack. If they don't crack. They tell.

[John Clay Wolf]

They don't.

[Co-host Casey]

They tell their friends. They brag.

[Co-host Dave]

And the gravy train.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's say he was banging his English teacher and she was balls hot.

[Co-host Dave]

Yeah, well, she'd have to be.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, let's say she was. What would you do if you found out?

[Co-host Dave]

What I do if I found out? I'd say, you know, if you ever tell anybody this, it's gonna stop and there's liable to be trouble, guys. She could sue you, son. She could say that you made her.

[Co-host Casey]

Do the show rated PG for parental guidance.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or could you take it a step further? If she was really hot, say, hey, go talk to her about it and tell her that you know how to keep a secret. If no. See, I'm.

[Co-host Dave]

No, I'm promiscuous. I'm not crooked.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Co-host Dave]

You know, you want to keep this on the.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's being crooked by tattooing your 16 year old kid.

[Co-host Dave]

Not really. Not really.

[Co-host Casey]

Yes. No. No. Yes, she is.

[Co-host Dave]

The heart wants what it wants. Jenny Taylor, the same way.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hello.

[Co-host Casey]

Stop. No, that's illegal. It's illegal. Have you ever had 16 is illegal?

[Co-host Dave]

It's illegal to drive 65 in a 30, man. But sometimes you're in a hurry.

[Co-host Casey]

There's a difference. We do know this show does not recommend that at any way, shape or form.

[Co-host Dave]

No, no. And I'm not recommending. No.

[Co-host Casey]

You were kind of doing it, but.

[Co-host Dave]

You know, it happens. It didn't happen when I was in high school.

[John Clay Wolf]

It just blows me away. How much of that goes on?

[Co-host Dave]

There's a lot of it these days.

[Co-host Casey]

It's weird that it's come up, you know, what had to happen back when we were in school, but we just didn't hear about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

We didn't have social media when my stepmom was rubbing my leg.

[Co-host Casey]

That's the point. You didn't have social media to tell everybody.

[John Clay Wolf]

But we were bad, jd. We were bad. I said we. Meet my friends.

[Co-host Casey]

I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, I know. You don't know.

[Co-host Casey]

No, I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

You weren't there.

[Co-host Casey]

Nobody. You've told me stories.

[John Clay Wolf]

But we would go. She had big bay windows in her bathtub was right next to it. The stepmother.

[Co-host Casey]

Stepmother.

[John Clay Wolf]

And on cue. See, it really sucked when daylight savings came in.

[Co-host Casey]

Because now it was dark.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. No, because it was light.

[Co-host Casey]

Light. I'm sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

But when it was dark during the winter months, so we'd have to put on our parkers, but we'd go out in the trees.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And she had the same pattern. She'd come in.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

At this time, go into her bathroom. Go get naked.

[Co-host Casey]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Come stand in front of her mirror.

[Co-host Casey]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And do stuff.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then take a bath.

[Co-host Casey]

Did she know you saw her?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I don't know. I don't think so. But we could. And we tested this. We would get in her bathroom at night when nobody was there and really in like. Hey, Carter, you go out there and you stand close to the window.

[Co-host Casey]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Back off the window with the lights on. And let's see what you can see. Can I see you out there? No, you could see nothing.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay. So she didn't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, I mean, especially if we were like 20 foot back. Nothing. I mean, couldn't see nothing.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

So that happened. My friends and I would park outside and watch my stepmom get naked.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that bad?

[Co-host Dave]

Well, I mean, yeah. Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, it's bad. But I mean, you know, luckily nothing ever happened.

[Co-host Casey]

When did you get scruples?

[Co-host Dave]

No, because inside the family, dude, it can get very weird.

[John Clay Wolf]

There was one day.

[Co-host Dave]

Your dad's old lady.

[John Clay Wolf]

Come on, you should bring up a. There was. Oh, God.

[Co-host Casey]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

There was one night where me and Carter and Creighton were out there and nobody's listening. And my dad, you know, she was. She was nasty. So she's in the. In front of her mirror.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then here comes my old man, you know, and. And he comes in the bathroom.

[Co-host Casey]

John, don't tell me this.

[Co-host Dave]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

He comes up behind her like. I'm like, hey, guys, guys, let's wrap it up. Let's go. Let's get out of here. The Carter's like, no, I'm gonna win. Ah, let's go, let's go.

[Co-host Dave]

I'm out.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm out.

[Co-host Dave]

A little rack and pinion.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was all cool when it was just her.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

This ain cool.

[Co-host Casey]

I don't want to see dad.

[Co-host Dave]

You know what happened? That was God sent your dad, man, to break it up.

[Co-host Casey]

Dude, God did this.

[Co-host Dave]

Yeah, because he'll do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Interesting.

Johnny Manziel has lost his second agent in two months. Drew Rosenhaus has officially terminated representation with Johnny M. Marks. The second time in two months he's lost. Yeah, he lost another agent. They're all looking at him going, no, you're not so much. I don't really need to broker your next deal with Whataburger.

[Co-host Dave]

This poor guy can't catch a break to save his life.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you talking about?

[Co-host Dave]

I mean, he's a hell of a quarterback. Aggies. Bad aggies.

[Co-host Casey]

Rosenhaus said he's never fired a player in 27 years of being an NFL agent. Hey, Johnny. Congratulations, Johnny. Football Johnny may go to court. You know, they're saying Dallas now or rare the assault. There is some other word. That is the video from that night may exonerate him. May say the girl was actually attacking him. That's possible. Hey, that's fine. God knows it's happened. I mean, I've lived it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know you have. That's what I'm looking at.

[Co-host Dave]

You.

[John Clay Wolf]

I have absolutely crazy woman whipping down on your ass.

[Co-host Casey]

There's nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a tough deal.

[Co-host Casey]

You can't do anything. You absolutely can't do anything. Or when they get out of the car and they start walking along the freeway.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you have a story about a woman whipping your ass and you can't do anything about it, I'd like to hear your story on the radio. We'll keep your names quiet. But. But I want to hear it because the men need to speak up. The men need to be heard. It's always the women that get to get the spotlight on this. And there's a lot of women out there that go to whipping on their man and they can't do anything about it. You can't even cover yourself up without call the cops. Guess who's getting popped.

[Co-host Casey]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

You.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah. Even if you try to hold them down to keep them from hitting you, you're still.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's got bruise marks.

[Co-host Casey]

Exactly. Very, very.

[John Clay Wolf]

800. 800 radio. If you've got a your old lady was whipping your ass story, I'd like to hear it.

[Co-host Casey]

She gets out and walks down the freeway. Let me tell you who goes to jail too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really? Yes, really?

[Co-host Casey]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you ever had a woman get so mad she jumped out of your car?

[Co-host Casey]

Yes, I have absolutely had that happen. And then she's walking. Okay, now we've had a couple of cocktails, so we're coming back from a party. I'm not drunk drunk, but I'm enough that I don't need to be.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't need to be talking to no cops.

[Co-host Casey]

Right. And now she's walking. I'll just walk home. We're on i20 in the middle of nowhere. So if I let her go, here's what happens. She gets stopped by somebody and killed. Guess who. Guess who goes to jail if I don't. And I drive along beside her. Guess what happens? That's what happens. Do you remember the lights come on?

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you remember the movie Blow?

[Co-host Casey]

He's got weed.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's got weed.

[Co-host Casey]

He's George young.

[John Clay Wolf]

[John Clay Wolf]

This is the men's strikes back hour. I've got a full call bank of guys that want to talk about getting beat up.

[Co-host Casey]

It's happened, man. I've had them come at me.

[Co-host Dave]

See, it's a slippery slope though, man, because when you say, oh, this can happen to you and there's nothing once you try to victimize men in this situation, and you may be totally right, it just doesn't fly.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, can you go to green hair and ask her which one she thinks would be the best to go to air?

[Co-host Emily]

Which one do you think is the best we've got?

[John Clay Wolf]

Which one? Three.

[Co-host Dave]

Three.

[John Clay Wolf]

Number three. Let's start with three to back color it. We were talking about women beating up men and how men can't do anything about it. They always get in trouble, even when it happens. Craig, good morning on the air.

[Caller]

Good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where are you from?

[Caller]

I sugar Landsite.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cool.

[Caller]

But I was living in Colorado when this happened.

[John Clay Wolf]

Keep it short and sweet, but we want to hear the story.

[Caller]

I basically got stabbed in the foot.

[John Clay Wolf]

By my ex wife.

[Caller]

We were arguing and she picked up a knife and threw it down on my foot and it stabbed me in the foot and it cost me eight stitches.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then what? So did you get in trouble? No.

[Caller]

No, because what happened is I went to the hospital, got stitched up, and I came home and she was sleeping on the bed, so I peed all over and went to sleep on the couch.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Did y' all stay together very long? What?

[Caller]

About a year after that. But we're divorced now.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did she think about your rebuttal about peeing on her?

[Caller]

She. She wasn't a huge fan, but, you know, there was blood all over the floor, so I kind of had that to fall back on. I told her I cleaned the pee up, but she cleaned the blood up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Well, hey, I mean, you know that. Did. Did.

[Co-host Casey]

And you stayed with her.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's what I wanted. I've got another question. How long before you had sex with her again?

[Caller]

I got a little apology for it the next morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Next day. See, that's our problem. I know that's our problem. Tell me about it. Cratered so quick you went down like the Titanic.

[Co-host Casey]

Tell me about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, that. There's another problem. Thanks, David. Good morning. David.

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's your story?

[Caller]

Well, I'm an older gentleman. I was seeing this younger lady, like, twice as young as me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller]

And she would. You know how they say, like, it progressively gets worse? Well, it did. She'd, like, on me, punch me. But then the day that she broke out the blade and cut my ass and gave me seven staples. Seven. Internally. I put her ass in jail.

[John Clay Wolf]

You did put her in jail, and they didn't blame it on you?

[Caller]

No, that. That's why I was able to do it, because I never hit her back. Ever? Ever.

[John Clay Wolf]

But had you stopped her from stabbing you, do you think you'd have got in trouble?

[Caller]

How did I stop her?

[John Clay Wolf]

If you would have stopped her from stabbing you and you grabbed her arms to do it. She calls the cops, the cops come see marks on her arms, then you're going to jail. So you had to take the blade.

[Caller]

Wasn't able to stop her because she was so much quicker than I was.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's so young and feisty. So how long after that until you had sex with her again?

[Caller]

She went to jail.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it was.

[Caller]

It was three months until she got out on probation.

[Co-host Casey]

And you stayed with her? I love it. I love these stories.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, thanks, Dave. Jeremy, good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller]

Hey. Yeah, this is not my girlfriend or wife, but I was in a club with a friend, and some. Let's call her a witch bumped into me and made a big deal out of it, and I blew her off. And me and my friend are talking about someone else. And I said, yeah, that girl is a witch. And the next thing I know, this same girl is tugging on my shoulder and goes, what'd you say? What'd you call me? You just called me a witch. And I said, no, no, no, I was talking about a different witch. And she goes, you punk, I'll hit you. And she reached up and slapped the tar out of me and tried to say, don't you dare raise your hand to me again. All I got out was, don't. And she smacked me again. I mean, like rare back. And slapped a mess out of me. So finally I tell her, don't touch me. Don't try it again or I will knock you out. And so she rears back, and I rare. I block her next slap, and I rare back to punch her. And I'm like, oh, you Cannot do this. So I just kind of pushed her out of the way. Two bouncers grabbed me and throw me out of the club. Grab all her friends and throw them out and then let me back in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so that's a. You, you held restraint. I'm glad that you didn't.

[Caller]

You have no idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

Put her in the full nelson and hit her in the elbow of the head. Because that would have got you in trouble.

[Caller]

Oh, no, no doubt. I was in the military at the time, so I wasn't in. I was in pretty good shape at the time.

[John Clay Wolf]

So thanks for calling in these, these stories, these are all quick hit stories. Uncle Roy took a bullet to the leg and he stayed married.

[Co-host Casey]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

But no one's calling in like the real battered man, the man that was abused for years.

[Co-host Dave]

I knew the kids used against him.

[Co-host Casey]

That's not funny.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I'm not trying to be funny. Those guys are facts. We're raising awareness.

[Co-host Dave]

My friend Frank Rodriguez, who I bought my El Camino from.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Dave]

Used to have to. Every Saturday night him and his lady get liquored up. And she was, listen, she was tough, all right? She was cartel tough. And these are middle aged people. They're both like 45, right? In the time she would, she would beat Frank around, he'd wind up in jail, of course. Yeah. And they take you from Electra, you know where Electra is, to Wichita county. And then he'd walk back to elektra, it's like 30 miles. He'd get back, you know, Monday morning about 4 in the morning.

[Co-host Casey]

Right.

[Co-host Dave]

And, and get ready for work and come to work and.

[John Clay Wolf]

How many. He's a pussy. How many times this happened?

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, I don't know. How many times? Why would he walk, my lady? I haven't sleep in two days. My lady beat me up again Saturday night.

[Co-host Casey]

And you go home and stay with it and you know, we've all done that. You know, what am I thinking?

[Co-host Dave]

The, the, the Mexican mayor, the Mexican American people are very devoted, you know, in their, in their marriage. They're Roman Catholic to a great extent. I don't know what that has to do with it. But he went back and back and back.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know what it has to do with it either. What else in the news, J.D.

[Co-host Casey]

Let me see what else we have here. Dallas Cowboys, not even playing yet and already be dealt another blow. Defensive lineman Demarcus Lawrence has failed a drug test.

[Co-host Dave]

How about that?

[Co-host Casey]

Lawrence has tested positive for methamphetamines, actually, and for amphetamines and will Be suspended for the first time four games of the 2016 season. So what do we think there anything? Dallas is already short another defensive end for the first four games as Randy Gregory was suspended for testing positive for marijuana.

[Co-host Emily]

Marijuana means are going to be drafting somebody plays defensive end. That's what means, man.

[Co-host Casey]

Are we going to get a quarterback.

[John Clay Wolf]

Speaking of sports, the Mavs just got smoked down by the Thunder.

[Co-host Dave]

Bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

Badly.

[Co-host Emily]

Yeah, I mean the Thunder a much.

[John Clay Wolf]

Better team, but it was a great game.

[Co-host Dave]

108.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, Monday night was fun game to watch when the Mavs won last minute. That was cool. What are the Rockets doing? They're doing well. They.

[Co-host Emily]

Well, no, they. I mean they squeaked bone by but Golden State's going to finish them off pretty quick here.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is the running score right now with the, with the Golden State rockets?

[Co-host Emily]

Is it 2 to 1?

[John Clay Wolf]

I believe golden State.

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, that's right, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean Golden State is. They're going to.

[Co-host Emily]

I mean they. And they play and they won a game without Curry even so, I mean they're.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wow. Yeah, okay.

[Co-host Casey]

That'll be fine for an ESPN guy. Got popped, got fired. Now they ask you radio stations ask you to keep. Keep things up on social media, make comments, be interactive. Curt Schilling, a former all star pitcher and one of the highest profile baseball analysts on espn, was fired this week, a day after he drew intense criticism for promoting offensive commentary on social media. The post he put up showed an overweight man wearing a wig and women's clothing with parts of the T shirt cut out to expose breasts. Okay. It said, let him in to the restroom with your daughter or else. You're narrow minded. He wrote a man is a man. This is what he wrote to get fired. A man is a man. No matter what they call themselves. I don't care what they are, who they sleep with. Men's room was designed for the man's parts.

[John Clay Wolf]

They wanted to fire him anyway then because that's not bad.

[Co-host Emily]

He's a douche though. He's been. There's a lot of different things. Well, he's been a lot of different things. He's done.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay, so this is just. Oh yeah, I wasn't aware of that.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, on that topic, what is your opinion?

[Caller]

You.

[Co-host Casey]

I just, I. They ask you to be socially that radio. The station I work for says be on Facebook, be on Twitter. And you get on there and you give your opinion and they may pop you for that.

[John Clay Wolf]

But it's not. What, what, what's your opinion of this, this restroom?

[Co-host Casey]

Dude, the Rest. You know, I don't even understand it. Honestly, I don't get it.

[Co-host Emily]

Well, how do you know why?

[John Clay Wolf]

If they want your britches? Let's check. Well, you looking why?

[Co-host Casey]

Pretty much anyone can use any restroom is what it says.

[Co-host Dave]

Here's the thing of note. In this political primary time of year, Donald Trump said probably the most reasonable thing in an interview he has said in a year. This week, you remember they asked him about it, the problem in North Carolina. He said, I think maybe they ought to just leave it the way it is.

[Co-host Emily]

But that's not good for his people.

[Co-host Dave]

The big problem comes when you. When you, you know, propose legislation and try to change all these things and count somebody out.

[Co-host Emily]

Wow. Somebody's got to Trump, because that's actually pretty democratic room.

[John Clay Wolf]

They ought to just leave what the way it is. Men are men and women or women.

[Co-host Dave]

It was just spur of the moment. No, he said, like, you know, the question is not where are they going to go to the bathroom. The question is, where have they been going to the bathroom all these years?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Co-host Dave]

You know, because there's never been a problem about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

No one asks, do you squat or stand?

[Co-host Dave]

You know what I mean? I mean, you know, she looks like a woman nobody knows. In the women's room especially, there are stalls.

[Co-host Emily]

Yeah.

[Co-host Dave]

And that big hairy guy that they keep showing the Facebook. I was gonna go into a stall.

[Co-host Casey]

I don't even know what brought it up.

[Co-host Emily]

Middle school in North Carolina, I guess a girl was in. A girl that was, you know, transsexual was in a boys room.

[John Clay Wolf]

How are you a transsexual in middle school? Did you go?

[Co-host Emily]

I don't know. I mean, she just.

[Co-host Dave]

She's an early bloomer.

[Co-host Emily]

Yeah, exactly.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I'm serious. How are you? How does that happen in middle school?

[Co-host Emily]

She just knows. I don't know.

[Co-host Casey]

She does transgender. All right, so you're on an airplane. You're on a Southwest Airlines jet. The guy next to you was on the phone. He's talking Arab. He's talking Iranian. Iranian.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, Salami Hussein.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah. So he's talking. He's talking in a foreign language. And he's saying at the very end of this conversation, he says something like, God willing, which is like, Allah Ishallah. Is what he says at the end of his conversation that gets somebody upset. They look at him and say, no, no, no, no, you don't. They call the flight attendant, they take him off the airplane. Is that race baiting? What is that? Because this guy's very upset. His name is Karuluddin. Mazuma Kalamazoon. That's it.

[Co-host Emily]

Did he yell out something?

[Co-host Casey]

He was on the phone, making a regular conversation.

[Co-host Emily]

Normal.

[Co-host Dave]

But he's.

[Co-host Casey]

But he was like. But he was speaking in a foreign language at the end. He said. He said, we'll be there on time. This is what he said in English, but he said it in a foreign language. God willing.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's pretty.

[Co-host Emily]

That's pretty extreme.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what?

[Co-host Casey]

Okay, I go this way.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm more with him on that one.

[Co-host Emily]

With the.

[Co-host Casey]

With the passengers got taken off.

[John Clay Wolf]

Chill out.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, I know. But on the other hand, look, if you know that, people are going to be a little touchy about that, because it wasn't that long ago some people flew airplanes into a building. Just speak English. No, it wasn't.

[Co-host Emily]

Wow. There's the Grand Dragon.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm sorry.

[Co-host Casey]

You're on an airplane. You're on an English. You're on an American aircraft.

[Co-host Dave]

Okay?

[Co-host Casey]

This is. We're talking 16 years ago, 15 years ago.

[Co-host Emily]

How about he's just speaking in a.

[Co-host Casey]

Language you don't get to. You know, People get a little.

[John Clay Wolf]

You come here, you talk like us, you won't be one of us. You better talk like us.

[Co-host Casey]

Well, I'm just telling you, that's what happened in. Southwest Airlines is not backing down. They're not apologizing.

[Co-host Dave]

Can he be allowed to use the restroom at least?

[Co-host Casey]

Absolutely. Use the restroom. Just don't say Allah Akbar.

[John Clay Wolf]

He didn't yell it.

[Co-host Casey]

He was on the phone making people nervous. If you know it and you can speak English, why not speak English? Why stir it up? Why stir it up? J.D.

[Co-host Emily]

Ryan, everybody.

[Co-host Casey]

No, I'm not. That's not.

[Co-host Dave]

I'm not.

[John Clay Wolf]

J.D. i'm gonna take one real quick. Robert. 04 Lexus RX 330 with 230. Is it worth more than 1500?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much more? Because I don't think so. Those miles are big, man.

[Caller]

Well, if it's not worth it, I'll keep it till it dies in.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you take for it?

[Caller]

I wouldn't. I wouldn't take nowhere near that.

[John Clay Wolf]

What would you take for it? That's the question.

[Caller]

Probably seven.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, 800. 800. Seven, two, three, four.

[Co-host Emily]

Everybody, take him off the plane.

[Co-host Casey]

Hurry. Absolutely. Speaking of.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm just dying the damn thing before I sell it.

[Co-host Dave]

For what it's worth.

[Co-host Casey]

What I'm saying is, if you can speak English, why not do it over my dead body. Why not just not upset people? How about that? How about you on an.

[Co-host Dave]

The way I Heard this.

[Co-host Casey]

How about you're on an airplane, Just behave.

[Co-host Dave]

The way I heard that story, JP was that he had said something about, you know, it's not like I'm gonna blow up the plane or something during his conversation. And then at the end said something about, God willing, at the end.

[Co-host Casey]

So who knows? He got taken off.

[Co-host Dave]

I mean, if you or I. And I'm. And I'm pretty lily white, racially speaking. If you or I said something like that, they'd probably kick me off too.

[Co-host Casey]

You don't make jokes about airplanes and bombs and blow things up, period.

[Co-host Dave]

That's the way I heard that story. Now, somebody may have been editorializing, but that's the way I heard it was that he said something like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to talk about these cars for a minute. People. You people. When you drive a car to 200,000 miles, when you drive it over 150,000 miles, it has gone off a cliff.

[Co-host Dave]

Yes, Lord.

[John Clay Wolf]

Off a cliff. These cars have a shelf life, depending on what they are. Between 130 and 200.

[Co-host Dave]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then it ends. Now, Cummins turbo diesel. Yeah, it'll make it another. Another hundred. But when they get to 200.

[Co-host Emily]

And.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it looks like that one, that. That cost 20,000. But it's got 210,000 miles on it.

[Co-host Dave]

Yes, it does.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't be mad at me when I put it on the money.

[Co-host Dave]

Amen.

[John Clay Wolf]

This guy just called in with this car with an 04 and he told me he'd rather die than sell it to us for what it's worth. That's fine. Yes, Lord, but I bought one at an auction yesterday. There's an 07 new body style with half them. With a hundred thousand less miles for five.

[Co-host Dave]

Amen.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just. I just. I don't want. I just want to let the public know when you take them the miles that high, it's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt bad. Travis. This is a good example. If this car had 120 on it, I would give 5,500. Unless it's leather. Then I would give 6,500.

[Co-host Casey]

Yes. Jesus.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you there, Travis?

[Caller]

Yes, Sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's got a 07 edge with a buck 53 on it. Is it cloth or leather?

[Caller]

It's cloth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. It's worth 2500, Joey. Yeah. With those miles on it.

[Caller]

Alrighty.

[John Clay Wolf]

And hell, I don't even know if I can make anything on it. I try to make 300 bucks a car. I'm a wholesaler. I buy and sell the market. And I think I actually, at 2500, that's probably what I'm gonna get for. But like I said, if it had 120 on it, I'd give 5,500 because it has another life in it to be sold again to the guy that's willing to buy it and drive it to 170. Because when it goes to 170, it's done. It's gonna blow up.

[Co-host Dave]

Life everlasting, brother.

[Caller]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, do you want to sell it?

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to giveme the vin.com. load it up. Say, Wolf, hit this rig at 2500 on the air and I want to sell it. Amen. 800, 800, 7234.

[Co-host Casey]

I like bar.

[John Clay Wolf]

800, 800. Who's all Ibar praising to God.

[Co-host Casey]

Speaking of that, did we talk about. Oh, we got a break.

[John Clay Wolf]

Speaking of breaks, speaking of commercials, speaking of smoke break. Babo, you got your. You got your roll. Your owns ready to go. All right, Left hand Bobbo's gonna go smoke his left handed cigarettes. I'm gonna get a big dip and take a leak and grab a water.

[Co-host Dave]

Make sure you use the right restroom.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm gonna be back.

[Co-host Dave]

JD's picky about that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know which one I'm gonna use, but if that dog doesn't quit farting in the studio, I'm gonna get in trouble for dog abuse.

[Co-host Casey]

You will not.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, we'll be right.

[Radio Announcer]

[Co-host Casey]

I know.

[Caller]

Hey, good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning. Where are you from? Friends with Texas friends with Houston listener got it. Area 11, Subaru Outback. Which one?

[Caller]

It's 2.5. All leather, sunroof, new tires.

[John Clay Wolf]

A 2.5 would be a four cylinder. I mean, right? Yeah.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Leather says limited or premium. Do you know.

[Caller]

I want to say it's a premium.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then I'll bet it is a premium. How many miles are on it?

[Caller]

55,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. 800. 800 radio is how Alan got a hold of us. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Allen. The rig is worth. The rig is worth. The rig is worth. 11. 5.

[Co-host Casey]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. That sound right? Yeah. I mean, nobody ever. I mean, you want full retail. You want what everybody's asking online, but, I mean. Oh, yeah, we're top of the money wholesale. That's our. That's our goal. And that's why if you get a CarMax offer that's better than ours and give us a chance to beat it. If we don't beat it, we'll send you a hand. We'll overnight you 100 bucks. And I just. I just throw. I just throw that out there to shut everybody up, saying if anybody ever says we're bidding them low. Okay, all right, well, carmax, go get their offer. Show it to me. If I don't beat him, I'll overnight you. Check for 100. Because I. I beat. I don't. What. What will you take for the car?

[Caller]

You know, really, I hadn't. I was just listening to the show. I was on the way to the hardware store this morning and just thought I'd call and check. I really didn't have a price in my.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm 11. 5 to 12 grand. And if you go to give me the VIN, give me the VI. N dot com. Load the VIN up and send us some pictures. We'll confirm that.

[Caller]

Okay, Sounds good. Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks, man.

[Co-host Casey]

That is a really nice part of Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

Friends with us.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, it's beat up with squirrels. No, it's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

You go out there in the springtime.

[John Clay Wolf]

They'Re all out dancing. No, you know, we do this every once in a while. We've had Chick Diggler, if you remember. We've had. We have listeners that become friends of the shows over the. Over the years.

[Co-host Emily]

Chick Diggler.

[John Clay Wolf]

Remember him?

[Co-host Dave]

The dude from Cleveland, Chick Dingler.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was a listener in Houston, and he was coming through Dallas Fort Worth. He said, big fan. Da, da, da. Do you mind if I come up to the studio? I said, come on, bring it. You don't remember? It's happened a few times. And this fella in the studio with us today is the same way. His name's Jeff Larson. Good morning, Jeff.

[Co-host Dave]

Oh, is that you? Morning. Okay, I thought he was your dealer or something.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no, he's not my dealer.

[Caller]

No.

[Co-host Emily]

What are you standing. He's just sitting here. I'm like, okay, where's he from? He's got to be doing something.

[John Clay Wolf]

So he's been listening to the show. Well, you can tell him how we.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

Met, actually, give John all his numbers.

[John Clay Wolf]

How long had you been listening to the show?

[Guest Jeff Larson]

About a year and a half in Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he wrote an article about us, and it was published online. I tripped across it, and I sent him a note and said, hey, man, a lot of people don't get it because he's in the auction business and he gets it. And I was like, no one has ever summarized what we do the way I've read your article. And I was really impressed. And we became friends, started talking, and he worked on a website for us that we haven't even launched yet. But he's came in this morning, said, hey, you want to come see what a radio. Have you ever been to radio studio before? No. Is it what you expected? No. No.

[Co-host Casey]

So what was the gist of the article?

[Guest Jeff Larson]

Well, listening to John and closer on the mic, listening to John and what he gives back to the people. As far as numbers that I checked him out. I want to make sure he's legit.

[Co-host Casey]

Got you. Okay.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

And when I. When I realized he was and listened a little bit more, I'm like, hey, this guy needs some exposure.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

People need to know about him, you know? I mean, where else can you call in?

[John Clay Wolf]

How.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

How much easier could he make it for you to. To sell your car?

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

Gives you a number, sight unseen, you.

[Co-host Casey]

Know, it's almost unreal.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

He cuts a check, it comes down.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, him being in the business, he understands what's really going on the backside. So, like, a lot of people, they're like, this is too good to be true. How does it work? And then I don't know how it works. Really? It works? No, we're running averages. And. And how do we buy car side unseen? There's a secret sauce. There's. But there's no hook. Do we get beat? Yeah. Do we lose money? Sure. Do we make more than we lose? Yes, or we wouldn't keep doing it. But I lose money on cars that I'm. That I test drive. I mean, it's a gamble.

[Co-host Casey]

Sure.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

And I've done sight unseen quotes for customers too, in the dealership. And you're exactly right. Those. They're usually more honest than anything. As far as the condition of the car. You know what's on it would you know what's going on with the car.

[John Clay Wolf]

They tell you about things that you wouldn't even pick up on if you were just walking it real quick so it works out. But it's really grown over the years. It's been exciting and funny. You mentioned the exposure thing because we're fixing to get some real exposure. You're gonna see us in the news. There's. I didn't tell you this, J.D. but there are some press releases coming up from some big companies. There's a media machine getting ready to get behind us.

[Co-host Casey]

I like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do too.

[Co-host Casey]

How fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

It only took 10 freaking years.

[Co-host Casey]

Finally a decade.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

A decade later, overnight sensation.

[John Clay Wolf]

God almighty. Oh man. I mean, ah. You get mixed emotions. I'm in these meetings and they all sound so great, but I'm so mad inside.

[Co-host Casey]

All because it's taking so long.

[Co-host Emily]

Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

You like to say we're the same people that we were seven years ago when we told you this. Yeah. But now we see it. Well, I'll strangle you.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're talking to people that you're just dying to get a meeting with.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And now they're calling you.

[Co-host Casey]

Now you're on the inside.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

You're like, hey, we love you. You're like, where were you 10 years ago?

[Caller]

Right.

[Co-host Casey]

True.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, anyway, so you moved to Fort Worth with your old lady.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or Arlington. And she works for Mannheim or next year capital.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's cool.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a floor plan company that pays for dealers inventory. Mainly independent dealers inventory. And that's changed the wholesale marketplace a lot because that opportunity put a lot of independent dealers in business. So JD if you want to go get your dealer's license and you know they'll start with $50,000 line. I mean if you have a pulse and you can buy a hot dog. Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

That's not that many cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it's not what it is. If you're cheap cars, I mean that's enough to get going.

[Co-host Casey]

10 cheap cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

Just take a ride down Division street in Arlington and see how many Q's car dealers.

[Co-host Casey]

That's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800, 7234. 800800 radio. Just gonna give me the VIN. Give me the V.I. n dot com. We will be back with our number four. Uno momento, por favor.

[Radio Announcer]

Now Back to the John Clay Wolf show. Hit him up right now. 1-800-this-this is the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I stepped on our intro.

[Co-host Emily]

No, but just sounds unprofessional, but like nothing does on the show anyway, so that's fine.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's Saturday. Preston, good morning. You're there.

[Caller]

How you doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Good, good, good. 06 Ram half ton, 4x4,67,000 miles quad. Does it have 20s and a Hemi?

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Average, rougher, clean.

[Caller]

It's pretty clean. I'm saying pretty clean.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a Hemi with 20s. Right.

[Caller]

I work offshore, and all it does is sit in the parking lot most of the time, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does ten grand buy it?

[Caller]

Sorry?

[John Clay Wolf]

Does ten grand buy it?

[Caller]

Yeah, I still owe five on it, so. Yeah, that. I mean, I was just. I heard. I was listening to your radio show and I just thought I'd call in and check, see what you thought.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think. I mean, I was. I think 9 is right. 10 is all of it. And I went ahead and hit you at 10 so I could get it bought. It's an old body style. I got to get over that. But it is a four wheel drive. It's not a four wheel drive. I cannot give 10.

[Caller]

Yeah, but like the. The dash and everything is still in good mid condition.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller]

All the paint and everything still pretty good.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you want. So. So you. So we got to pay off your loan for five. We got to send you a check for. For five, and. And we'll come pick it up. Where do you live?

[Caller]

Dickinson.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know where that is, but we can send a truck to your house with a check, find you. If you want to sell it for ten grand. Go to givemetheven.com, load the VIN number in. Say John, hit me at 10. 10 will buy it. Here's the info and we'll. The guys will get on it and get it handled. You'll have a. You'll be surprised how quick and easy it happens.

[Caller]

Okay. All right. Thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio down there. Dickinson. Yeah. Where's Dickinson? I've heard of it. I should know where it is. Dickinson. Yeah. Just south of your belly button.

[Co-host Emily]

Chipmunk always is funny.

[Co-host Casey]

Chipmunk is a real smart little punchline going. It's in Galveston county, actually.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Co-host Dave]

Is there a Galveston County?

[John Clay Wolf]

The freight out there?

[Co-host Casey]

Texas City.

[Co-host Dave]

Okay. Bayou Vista.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Co-host Dave]

Yeah, baby.

[John Clay Wolf]

Actually, we're buying so many cars out of Houston now, we're sending guys to the houses. To pick the cars up and bring them to a holding center and then the big trucks are picking them up.

[Co-host Dave]

Holding center, holding center. That's what I've been hearing about.

[John Clay Wolf]

They hold your Dickinson all right. Hey, allegedly, allegedly, you're always okay. There is a little Wallace Edwards in the studio today. Little Prince Talk Backstory on Prince. This is interesting, very interesting. And Wallace, we appreciate you doing it twice for us today since you came in at 8 o' clock and did it once for the Dallas show. But if you thought you knew about Prince, you haven't heard anything yet, that's for sure. Check this out. Wallace, you there?

[Co-host Dave]

It is a really sad time for rock and roll, but the Western Place Bar in Burleson near Fort Worth, Texas held a tribute night Thursday that was decidedly not of their typical down home country style. For this week's karaoke night feature, many of the bar's regular clientele chose to perform songs from the catalog of Prince, one of pop music's most prolific performers, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 57. And while tributes to the iconic recording star took place all over the world for the past few days, longtime patrons of the Western Place Bar hold a special place in their hearts for His Purple Highness. Because while an unlikely venue for a live soul music performance of any kind, in 1979 a young prince actually brought his live show to Texas, performing for one night in the bar's small and dusty stage room. It was the same year his second self titled album came out. But Princess wasn't yet a household name. There's no photo on the wall of Prince's one night only performance. No one at the time knew that Prince would be the biggest thing to come out of that small country bar. But newly surfaced facts now reveal that at least one person might have had a bit more of a clue of the greatness to come. Lifelong barmaid Candy Corn was on the clock that night, and other employees who worked the bar that evening have hinted that she may have gotten more than just a live stage performance. According to more than a few of her co workers, while 19 year old candy was by no means a deviant or sex addict, she did have the reputation of taking many of the bar's musical performers to her apartment in Cleburne for a nightcap after the show. And while by all accounts her after hours encounter with the young prince was only a one night affair, it's been noted that after being virtually unfazed by encounters with Conway Twitty and Hank Williams Jr. And countless others over the years, up to and including all five of the Kentucky headhunters. Young Candy reportedly did walk funny for close to a week and exhibited a marked aversion to men of the African American persuasion for the rest of her life. There's also the matter of her subsequent pregnancy and which came to fruition in August 1980 with the birth of Johnson County's first recorded interracial child, who inherited more than just her mother's funny walk. Because at a very early age, Candy's daughter showed a remarkable talent for singing, as well as an uncanny natural ability to play virtually any musical instrument with style and precision without the benefit of any formal training. Of course, now, more than 30 years later, we all recognize that internationally famous female singing star as the biggest thing to ever come out of a small hillbilly town since. Well, since Prince came out of backwoods Minnesota. Because according to previously sealed medical documents and new statements from various immediate family members, it's now known that the love child of Prince Rogers Nelson and Ms. Candy Corn is none other than Princess Kelly Clarkson. And from a strictly technical aspect, if one simply analyzes the size of that ass over the square root of that voice, it all makes sense. And once again, the genetics versus environment argument is clearly substantiated because it's true. Just a little bit of funk goes a long, long way. And with that, I'm Wallace Edwards.

[Co-host Casey]

My God. I don't think most of that's true.

[Co-host Emily]

We like to think it is.

[Co-host Casey]

We do.

[Co-host Emily]

He knows what he's talking.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you go to Fort Worth Star Telegram or Dallas Morning News and Google that bar thing, it's very true. Is it? So there you go.

[Co-host Casey]

Well, that. I'm wrong. Clearly everything he said was true.

[Co-host Dave]

Candy's motto after that was size doesn't always matter, but it can hurt.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-7234. Just go to givemetheven.com Dan, good on there.

[Co-host Casey]

Good morning.

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

An RS5 Audi. Is that a. A what or a.

[Caller]

Well, it's the. It's the A5, but it's the souped up version.

[Guest Jeff Larson]

5.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let me just look it up this way. I bought one of these the other day. Is it a stick or an automatic?

[Caller]

Automatic. They don't make sticks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Because the one I'm thinking of did. There's a hot rod Audi that is stick or can be.

[Caller]

Yeah, well, I think the S may be stick, but the RS only comes in the seven speed Tripconic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, it. But it starts as an A5 and is an all wheel drive or two wheel drive.

[Caller]

All wheel.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And it is a coop.

[Caller]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Premium plus prestige. Premium. I forgot. I gotta build this.

[Caller]

I mean, it's a special order. They only brought like 4,500 of those.

[John Clay Wolf]

To the U.S. okay, I'm getting screwed up. I'm gonna need the VIN number to hit it right, and I don't want to put it out on the air. So can you go to givemetheven.com and put the VIN number in and so we can bid it? Right?

[Caller]

Yeah, I can do that. It'll be a little bit, but I'll do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, just in back off the car and take a side shot with your phone and whip open the door and take a shot from the driver's side so we can get the interior and we can see the equipment and the VIN number and we can. We'll fire off an auto. We'll fire you offer immediately.

[Caller]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, man.

[Co-host Casey]

Show me your equipment, dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. What? 800, 800.

[Co-host Casey]

Radio.

[John Clay Wolf]

Radio. What else in the news today, Jenny?

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, did we talk about this?

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, you know what else before I get that started? Yeah, Houston flood. How many. How many people lost their cars?

[Co-host Emily]

I don't know, but we had somebody call in the day.

[John Clay Wolf]

Of the flood.

[Co-host Emily]

Wanted a bid on their car. I told. I told the buyers, like, hey, make sure the car is running. The guy's like, well, I don't know. I haven't started it because it was flooded. And so I was like, yeah, we don't want that car.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll buy it, but we've got to adjust for it.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah, it's not good to start the car with all that water.

[Co-host Emily]

No, it's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've got a friend that lost his engine. As accurate. He. It sucked up. It filled it full of water.

[Co-host Emily]

Yeah. I told him, don't start it if it's been sitting there, don't start it, let it drain. Because that's. That's a bad, bad decision right there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, the water will come in through the air intake, and if it swallows the water, then game over. Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

Once you get that sealant wet, you can shock your nuts.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's almost as bad as putting diesel. I mean, gas in the diesel.

[Co-host Emily]

Chevrolet Colorado, we never did the review on that vehicle.

[John Clay Wolf]

You gonna do it? Yeah, we can. Well, I can't. I can't review it because I didn't drive it. That's true.

[Co-host Emily]

It's true. How are we gonna do this?

[Co-host Dave]

Yeah, that's very factual sounding.

[Co-host Emily]

I mean, we could tell you about it. How could you and what happens when you put diesel in a small vehicle.

[John Clay Wolf]

We need to do a review for the record. Y. Yeah, let's do that now.

[Radio Announcer]

Now it's time for the ride of the week.

[John Clay Wolf]

2016 Colorado four wheel drive Z71 crew cab, short bed diesel. 42 grand. Awesome looking rig.

[Co-host Emily]

Small truck with a diesel motor in it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It says 23 miles a gallon. 29 on the highway, 23 average, 20 in the city. I mean they're getting expensive, but these damn these Colorado's, the new bodies are holding their value. I've had about 10 of them.

[Co-host Emily]

You like the smaller body trucks it seems like you're kind of getting.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just, I'm driving that Toyota right now. I'd much rather drive this.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm driving a 15 Toyota, whatever you call it, Tacoma and I would much rather drive this Colorado. I think it's much better looking. I don't know why everybody freaks out and likes these Toyotas. These little Toyota trucks, they bring so much money when you get out of them. I mean, your tongue's hanging out like you've been riding a motorcycle. They're so loud. They're ten boxes the road. I've been. Have you noticed since I've been driving that truck, I've been walking around my Dr. Dre beats all the time?

[Co-host Emily]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you know why?

[Co-host Emily]

Because you can't hear in the car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here in the car. So I'm having to use it to talk on the phone.

[Co-host Emily]

I thought you were just trying to be cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not the Colorado, but the Toyota. It's competitive.

[Co-host Emily]

So the Colorado's got a good ride, smooth, not real noisy.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's quiet and it's built right.

[Co-host Dave]

Is the Colorado the first half ton diesel that we've seen? Because they've been threatening to do that for years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, Dodge did it, but they didn't go with the Cummins. They went with somebody else. And it's, it has not the resale on. It's poor. Everyone we've bought, we've lost money on Nissan anyway. We'll wrap that up. Yeah, the, the Colorado, the new DC Colorado is awesome. It's 42 grand hard loaded. But the Nissan, new Tundra, I saw this the other day. Not Tundra.

[Co-host Emily]

It's not a Tundra, it's a Titan.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, Charlie, I might buy one.

[Co-host Emily]

I saw it and at first glance it kind of looks like an F150.

[John Clay Wolf]

A little bit or 250.

[Co-host Emily]

Yeah, 250. Sorry. Yeah, F250. And then you're looking at. Wait, no, it's Got that Nissan feature. It's nice.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's got a Cummins.

[Co-host Emily]

Yes. It's got a little bit of lift to it.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you put it next to a Ford or a Chevy four wheel drive diesel F250. It sits a little higher.

[Co-host Emily]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is not a small truck. It is scored as a heavy duty half ton. But it comes with a factory installed gooseneck ball. I love it. I hate the fact that it's a Nissan. But remember Dodge sucked before Cummins. I mean fixed them. Yeah, Cummins fixed that brand. By the way. Dodge was a poor man dozer driver, nothing truck and now they're everywhere. And I think the Cummins really changed the whole Dodge game.

[Co-host Emily]

You think it's gonna do it for Nissan?

[John Clay Wolf]

I've said all along whoever puts a caterpillar engine in a H in a light HD truck will win with against the Cummins. Because Ford has a great engine, Chevy's got a great engine. But something about that Cummins is still special. Nissan jumped out and did it. And that engine that went in this Nissan truck was the engine that was supposed to go in the half ton. Dodge and Dodge turned them down. Really? Yeah, I read that the other day.

[Co-host Emily]

So is that so Cummins went to Nissan's like hey, we got this.

[John Clay Wolf]

We built this for Dodge.

[Co-host Emily]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

And they didn't go with it.

[Co-host Emily]

And Nissan's like yeah, we'll take it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they built a gorgeous truck. The Platinum Premium. Blah blah blah, whatever. Yeah, 63 grand.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, that should be.

[Co-host Dave]

That's I'm gonna make. A long time ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

Had no motor. No. And it's a Nissan now.

[Co-host Dave]

Comments. Go dies die said no now we got motor. Make a million truck. Make a million dollars.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's awesome. I drove one the other day. I was like, oh, it's like, well think about it. Infiniti best riding SUVs. Are those QX's? Yeah, this is the same guys that built it.

[Co-host Emily]

And it rides smooth and like you're.

[John Clay Wolf]

In an suv, you feel like you're an Infiniti qx.

[Co-host Emily]

Oh wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

So awesome.

[Co-host Emily]

I which I may be driving that pretty soon.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I think that's what I'm gonna get.

[Co-host Emily]

Can you get one on the. They're not. I mean I have.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's not been one used one sold yet.

[Co-host Emily]

So I've been called for sticker.

[John Clay Wolf]

I get one for 59 is what my Nissan buddy will sell.

[Co-host Casey]

That's crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a ton of money.

[Co-host Emily]

So you gotta wait a year then.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't mind spending it if it's not gonna lose a bunch.

[Co-host Emily]

You want to wait a year, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

You'Re gonna lose money on anything you have. Yeah, I need to get a car because I want to get the hell out of this Toyota. I'm not gonna walk around Dr. Dre beach for the rest of my life while I'm talking on the phone.

[Co-host Emily]

He looks so cool. He's wearing sweatpants. Beats on his head.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm like driving a Toyota.

[Co-host Emily]

His hair's all long now. I think he's going through a midlife crisis.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I. Dude, I've been in dotcom mode is what it is. You know dot com.

[Co-host Casey]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're building this company and it's getting busy and you know, you've seen the movies where the guys are building dot com companies and they just live at work.

[Co-host Casey]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

They go home and eat. They go back to work.

[Co-host Casey]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

They go to sleep at their desk. They wake up. I mean, I might as well be wearing my pajamas to work right now.

[Co-host Emily]

He was one day and we hit the. Some customers come in, he's like, I'm sorry, normally don't wear this. And he's just got his socks up on the feet on the table. I mean, it was.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I'm sitting here building this, the radio network out, the website stuff, all the logistics. We just brought in our logistics app that you saw yesterday. And it's a game changer that'll show us where every car is at all times. GPS driven the trucks, the pickups, the deliveries. I'm going to have to set this thing up, scale it up for volume.

[Co-host Casey]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cuz we're starting out. Grow it already. And there's a lot of work.

[Co-host Casey]

You'll be able to track all the vehicles, everyone. Real time, real amazing.

[Co-host Emily]

Like watching what's in the airport.

[Co-host Casey]

So when you put a GPS in each car.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. The drivers that scan them in it matches up their phone gps. So when they get out of it, wherever it stopped is where it'll timestamp and. And map stamp the car.

[Co-host Casey]

Cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

Pretty cool.

[Co-host Casey]

That is really.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know if you looked outside. You've got all these guys building. Because we got a new office next door and they're building all these cubicles. We're fixing to hire a bunch of people. Yeah, this baby's growing.

[Co-host Casey]

Very excited.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's fun.

[Co-host Emily]

I showed the son, my son, the office next to me. Dad, this is a real office.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, it is.

[Co-host Casey]

After 10 years, you got to get a real office.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know, but it's been fun being. Being a schleppo. I've enjoyed being a schleppo without all the pressure. Now I'm feeling the pressure of all the. The staff, hr. I mean, so everyone's gonna be over there, and I'm gonna be over here because I can't. I'm kind of an idiot.

[Co-host Emily]

My wife mentioned this because she. Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

She goes, so how's this?

[Co-host Emily]

Working guys are growing. And, you know, hr, it's kind of probably an issue when you have Playboys sitting in your bathroom and you're always like, well, that's supposed to be a radio studio. It wasn't supposed to be for everybody else to go in there.

[Co-host Casey]

Right.

[Co-host Emily]

She's like, I would recommend not putting those in the new office.

[John Clay Wolf]

Agreed, agreed. I recommend that. I probably don't go over to the new office very often.

[Co-host Emily]

Often. Yeah.

[Co-host Casey]

You have to say things.

[Co-host Emily]

Well, he pees with the door open.

[Co-host Casey]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Come on.

[Co-host Casey]

Yes, I know, I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

In every company, you've got the Rain Maker and you've got the managers.

[Co-host Casey]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

It takes the weirdo to make it happen. That's me. I'm the weirdo.

[Co-host Casey]

The weirdo should close the bathroom door. Okay, that's all we're saying.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Co-host Casey]

That's all we're saying.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it's happening. I don't. The way that I coach people.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is pretty rough.

[Co-host Casey]

Oh, yes. It's aggressive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it upset everybody when I come down in the bind room, start yelling and I don't yell at them, I just yell.

[Co-host Emily]

Sometimes. It just depends on if you're yelling at them or just yelling about a situation. About a situation. No problem.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So if you have any coaching for me, what would you say?

[Co-host Emily]

Make it more about a situation instead of just directing at that single person.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Co-host Emily]

Like, in general.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's in general? What's an example where I directed at a person?

[Co-host Emily]

I can't even. I don't even.

[Co-host Casey]

A while ago, when you threw a quarter of Babo.

[John Clay Wolf]

But that's Bobbo. That's different. We were putting another quarter in the machine to keep him singing.

[Co-host Casey]

Okay, that's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I can rationalize all of it.

[Co-host Casey]

I was gonna say you spun that pretty good. Tell hr.

[Co-host Dave]

Well, what.

[John Clay Wolf]

What new. No, I'm serious, Turley.

[Co-host Emily]

Just.

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I see. When you say you. Yeah.

[Co-host Emily]

Don't say you just say it. In general.

[John Clay Wolf]

We need to do.

[Co-host Emily]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is how we do it here. This is what we are.

[Co-host Emily]

Yes. That way they're like, well, damn, I screwed up.

[Co-host Casey]

Bring the volume down a little bit. Well, then that's less aggressive.

[Co-host Emily]

That helps too. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm telling you what we do. We buy cars sight unseen, right? Lots of them. It does not fit a normal mold. If it was. If it fit a normal mold, everybody would be doing it. There's an art to this. And these guys have to understand. Understand that this is a different duck. It walks different.

[Co-host Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it. And I've tried. I've been doing it 10 years now. We're scaling up and getting big. And if we lose the ingredients of our fajita recipe, it's gonna screw it all up.

[Co-host Casey]

Makes sense. Oh, makes sense.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now that I put it in fajita.

[Co-host Emily]

Top, I get it.

[Co-host Casey]

There's a lot of restaurants that have this. They can do things on a small scale, but when they. They bring it up to the big scale, you think, okay, I'm making 10 hamburgers. Making 100. Just 10 times. It's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Co-host Casey]

And they say that's. That really screws a lot of restaurants up. I talked to the guy that created Chili's, right? And he said that was their biggest problem was creating it on a bigger scale, because it ain't just 10 more.

[Co-host Emily]

So JD's basically saying it's gonna fail. So. Thanks, JD. I appreciate.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, it's up to me to be able to take the culture and breed it into the rest of the mass here.

[Co-host Casey]

That's what he did.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I need to figure out how to do that lightly.

[Co-host Casey]

And Chili's was without.

[John Clay Wolf]

Without my normal. Because all the people that work close with me are used to my crazy ass.

[Co-host Casey]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

And new people won't be used to my crazy ass. All right? But you guys, the listeners, y' all are way used to my crazy ass. So call in 800-800-RADIO, or go. Give me the VIN dot com. We'll be back in just a minute.
