Theme: Irreverent morning radio with cars, music, drugs, festival talk, and wild stories

Episode Overview

This lively, irreverent episode of the John Clay Wolfe Show covers everything from music festivals and drug tales to skydiving, car buying, wild listener calls, and pop culture. Mixing car-industry chatter with outrageous personal stories and satirical takes on current events, the team (with Debbie Sexton sitting in) delivers a quintessential “no rules except the FCC’s” rock ‘n’ roll morning. Along the way, we get hilarious debates about music festivals, acid trips, car deals, Trump climbing walls, nude restaurants, NFL drama, and a show highlight: a (comedic) interview with new Dolphins draft pick Laremy Tunsil about his gas mask scandal.

Key Discussion Topics & Segments

1. Edge Fest, Rock Festivals, and Generational Shifts

Timestamps: 00:47 – 06:18

John and crew reminisce about Edge Fest—past headliners (Weezer, Jane’s Addiction, Cage the Elephant, The 1975), number of festivals, changing crowds.
Quote:
“It’s huge. It’s happening. It’s ginormous.” – John (01:48)
Discussion on current music festival culture versus the 90s/80s (Texas Jam), and how the crowd, bands, and “drug of choice” have evolved.
Ecstasy vs. old-school weed/acid; sharing funny and surreal drug stories (tree talking, accidental acid dosing).
Quote:
“I talked to a tree once, which I would not have done on principle. But the tree spoke to me first, okay, so… Trees are old wise.” – Bobbo (03:34)

2. Sex, Rock, and Band Shenanigans

Timestamps: 05:01 – 06:18

Comedic rivalry between Suzy Schnapper and Debbie, trading wild stories about the Black Crowes, Soundgarden, and rock-star debauchery.

Over-the-top stories about groupie antics, still can’t walk right after Soundgarden (“They stay in town a long time!”).

Announcing local car dealership promos and ongoing inside jokes about sponsorships and golf outings.
Introduction to Wallace Edwards and his rock ‘n’ roll conspiracy stories.

- Colonel Tom Parker’s cover-up, “regular monthly payments,” and Prince’s “funky motor scooter” abilities.
Quote:
“By November, Shaw had contacted Elvis’ manager Colonel Tom Parker… Elvis never learned about the small, strangely charismatic, uber talented baby boy born on June 7th of 1958…” – Wallace Edwards (09:00)

4. John’s Sinking (Party) Boat

Timestamps: 13:08 – 16:29

John recounts the saga of his recently purchased 30’ Sea Ray boat: it was stolen, then found sinking, with stilettos and women’s underwear aboard. Wild speculation about lake people’s hard-partying ways and “blow-up dolls flying like a flag.”
Quote:
“There’s a stiletto heel hanging off the windshield and women’s undergarments in the bottom.” – John (14:45)
Hilarity ensues as co-hosts theorize about muddy parties, insurance bills, and the subculture of “lake people” (“blow up doll … whistles when you go fast!”).

5. Rock Parenting and JD’s Absence

Timestamps: 17:31 – 18:41

Anecdote: John’s friend made sure all his kids went to a Slayer concert by age five—new definition of “family values.”
On-air banter about J.D. Ryan’s “sudden disappearance” (framed as him “coming out” and heading to swinger/homo camp)—Debbie jokes about maybe being JD “after a sex change.”

Timestamps: 19:32 – 21:13

More music fest details: official lineups for Edge Fest (Cage the Elephant, The 1975), the Eagle’s BFD fest (Shinedown, 6AM, Drowning Pool, Collective Soul).
Tickets just “$9.71 for lawn seats—come on stoners you can afford that.” – Debbie (20:15)
Reminder to listeners: “We buy cars on-air—call with year, make, model, miles!”

7. Skydiving Superstitions & Whistling Taboos

Timestamps: 21:15 – 22:37

Hilarious story: Skydiving instructor insisted Bobbo’s girlfriend wear a tampon while jumping to avoid “whistling all the way down.”
Quote:
“If ladies don’t wear one when they skydive, all the way down, they whistle like a Texas Twister.” – Bobbo (22:13)
Double entendres fly; crew in stitches over “arthouse” explanations.

8. Cowboys, NFL Draft, Manziel Troubles

Timestamps: 22:47 – 25:56

Cowboys draft picks broken down (Zeke Elliott = “beast”, Jalen Smith = “head scratcher” due to injury).
On Johnny Manziel: indicted by grand jury, now drinking at a bar in Cleveland during the draft.
Quote:
“He literally said that. Now he’s making excuses. He’s moved on to that next level. Now it’s denial. So he’s making progress.” – Bobbo (24:18)
Discussion on grand jury process—call-ins from listeners explain post-indictment legal steps.

9. Car Deals and Listeners Call In

Timestamps: 45:09 – 51:49

Multiple on-air car bids and detailed info on how to get top dollar for listener vehicles.
Wild, real-life stories: from the guy who painted his car for the show (meth-induced), to a fancy car worth more in Houston.
Advice: always get a bid from CarMax; if GiveMeTheVIN can’t beat it, “we’ll send you $100.”

10. NFL: The Laremy Tunsil Gas Mask Scandal

Timestamps: 38:38 – 43:37

Segment Highlight: Mock interview with “Laremy Tunsil” after his infamous gas mask weed-smoking tweet dropped his draft stock.
Satirical story: Tunsil claims it was “make and shake” (rosemary, parsley, cigar, and marijuana), not just weed; blames Johnny Manziel (who “knew his Twitter password”) for releasing the tweet. “Password now is ‘dope’.”
Quote:
“Don’t ever judge the book by its cover… The password now is dope.” – “Tunsil” (43:26, 43:28)

11. Nude Restaurants, Naked Gardening, and Debauchery

Timestamps: 59:15 – 61:53

The news: A “clothing optional” restaurant opening in London gets the crew riffing on the perils of naked fine dining.
World Naked Gardening Day approaches; hilariously graphic descriptions of what can go wrong with nudity in communal spaces.

13. Final Car Bids, Listener Stories, and Classic One-Liners

Timestamps: 62:00 – End (~70:00)

Rapid-fire car appraisals on-air: trucks, Denalis, Corvettes, Prowlers, and more.
Nostalgic reunion with a listener who swapped a LASIK surgery for a car years ago—John’s never gotten the eye surgery, even though prepaid!
Quirky “dealer logic” on high-line cars getting devalued by minor dents; John laments not wanting to “drive or touch” his own inventory (“like a pimp who doesn’t touch the girls”).
