My son's in town. Is he gonna do it for Jesus? Actually, my mother in law might come too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wow.

[Richard Rollins]

So it's a big family affair to see the revival.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Now, Pat Green may not be coming to join me on the radio stream a little bit because his mother in law passed away. Oh, that shook a lot of things. So that's why he didn't stay last night he had to go home and then he's coming back. He's gonna try to come early, but I bet he's not gonna make us the show. And Rollins is going to be here about the last hour and that's about all you can take a Rollins. Anyway, he's like, you know, I mean, it's a long drive and he's. Do I really have. He's like, you know. Do you want me there the whole time? Nah, we're good. Show up that last hour. He'll have him a few pops on the way and they'll be just right.

[Gigi Drummond]

Always cool. I miss Rollins. We haven't seen him in a little while.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're going to see him today. Richard Rollins from Gas Monkey. Dorian, good morning. You're on the air. John, I want to tell you how. How wrong I was about the strip club. I solved the mystery.

[Gigi Drummond]

What they do now is they dance.

[John Clay Wolf]

Till 4 in the morning. Oh, wow. We're talking about Pittsburgh Rick's, the seven story strip club on this holly holiday Easter weekend that they do. Do it for Jesus. Do it when? When they're closed.

[Gigi Drummond]

There's nobody in that building at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that's why I couldn't get through to anybody. I mean, during. You're turning into a little old man. Dude, how old are you? 77. Okay. And you're blind, right? Yes. And okay, and you go to the strip club how many, how many days a week? Not, not so much anymore. But there's one girl down there. I'm crazy. I might still have a chance. You might still have a chance. A man told me one time, you know, you see that skyscraper there? You see, you know, all this production and what drives a man at Dorian's age to build a new building that one last piece of ass, he might still have a chance.

[Richard Rollins]

So you think Dorian's. Dorian's done, but he might see again? Is that what he's thinking?

[John Clay Wolf]

He just goes, I mean, Dorian, you can tell me what you're thinking. I don't know what you're thinking, but yes. I think I got 10 years left, John.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm on a fun run.

[John Clay Wolf]

I understand. And I want the right gal with me.

[Gigi Drummond]

And I think this gal is the.

[John Clay Wolf]

One who interests me to the max. Have you ever had her, met her outside of the strip club?

[Gigi Drummond]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

When you do do that, have you done that in the past? We're going to a concert. I had just had the pass on it because I'm not in Pittsburgh at this. When I'm Talking to you. So when you. When you take one of these show pigs out of the state Fair environment. Oh, my God, what does that cost? Is there. Is there a rental rate? No, they all have different rates for different things. Well, let's talk normally. It's an hourly rate in its high and it's high. So we're talking 1500 an hour to go to the concert with you or to have dinner with me, to have.

[Gigi Drummond]

Me listen to her eat, but I'll do that.

[J.D. Ryan]

I went and made a.

[John Clay Wolf]

A quick 15. Well, I added 100 to. To 15, made it 16, bought a.

[J.D. Ryan]

Pound and doubled it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And do you. Do you get any favors out of that? Are you just doing it for companionship? I'm. I'm gonna ask her to marry me. Okay. I need. I need a wife and I need a pilot. Okay.

[Gigi Drummond]

And I.

[John Clay Wolf]

She has agreed to try the roller coaster at Kennywood. Can we. Can we marry y'all on the. Or can we do the proposal here on the air on wdv, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania? No, I think it'd be a great environment.

[Gigi Drummond]

I would do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would do it down at your place if I can get her to fly me down there. I want her to become a pilot. Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

It'll take a while.

[Gigi Drummond]

It'll take another year.

[Richard Rollins]

He wants a stripper to become a pilot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you. Did you see about that thing that happened up in Canada where that gal into that big plane and bottomed it out, rolled it over? Yes. Yeah. I bet your stripper would do a better job.

[Gigi Drummond]

Well, no, no, I can't see anything.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I would, you know, I heard about it. Thank you, Dorian. Thank you, sir. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4.

[Pre K]

800 on the stream. Rico Suavez says that Dorian should open up his own strip club and have Terence with the speech impediment be the dj. Oh, why not?

[John Clay Wolf]

Why not? Why not?

[Richard Rollins]

All right, so blind Dorian, marry a stripper and then turn her into a pilot?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Pre K]

Correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotta have dreams, bud boy, I told you, that's what keeps him going.

[Gigi Drummond]

That's your wife. She's really good on the pole. Well, she's a pilot, too.

[Richard Rollins]

I hope this happens for you.

[Gigi Drummond]

Oh, God, absolutely. Never give up, Dorian.

[Pre K]

Never give up.

[John Clay Wolf]

800, 800 radio shifting gears here.

[Pre K]

Dwarf comedian.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dwarf down.

[Pre K]

Dwarf comedian, Brad Williams.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why can't he just be a comedian? Why does he have to be a door?

[Pre K]

Because you'll find out here in a moment. Because it's part of the story. He's on tour.

[John Clay Wolf]

In a recent interview, black comedian Dave Chappelle. Why does he have to be black Collar Dorian?

[Pre K]

Anyway, they asked him would he wanted to have been part of this Snow White movie and been one of the dwarves in the movie. Of course, the dwarves in that movie were all CGI. He had a great take on it. Cut 13.

[Gigi Drummond]

No, because I hate money.

[J.D. Ryan]

Of course I would have said yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't get this whole thing.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why they, like, you have a Disney.

[John Clay Wolf]

Movie where there's talking animals, but an actual dwarf is too fantastical.

[J.D. Ryan]

We actually exist. But that was too fantastical. So they CGI'd all the dwarves in the movie. And the thing that got me was that a lot of that happened because Peter Dinklage went on Mark Marin's podcast.

[John Clay Wolf]

And said, like, oh, are we really doing this whole dwarf thing again with Snow White?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes. Yes, we are, Dink.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right? Because not all of us have Game.

[J.D. Ryan]

Of Thrones money, and we like to get a nice check from the mouse.

[John Clay Wolf]

And there's not that many of us. Okay. Like, I'm pretty sure I would have gotten the role just based on the fact there's only six actors doing it. Did I tell you that night at the saloon with the. With the magic girl. And I'm not going to say who, but someone in our posy snuck her into the office, downstairs, into the garage.

[Pre K]

Stop it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And when she came out.

[Pre K]

You're making this.

[John Clay Wolf]

She didn't have on any pants, but she had on her cowboy boots. And. And you start walking away. They were in her panties. They were all the way up to her ass.

[Pre K]

Oh, my God.

[John Clay Wolf]

On security footage.

[Richard Rollins]

Interesting.

[John Clay Wolf]

Talk about busting somebody's balls. I mean, we had the bus balls on that one. I was like, hey, man, are you having. I know what you did. Just admit it.

[Pre K]

Just say it. Just say it. Are you having Dwarves at the motorcycle.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, at the rally. Yeah.

But then it got serious when we got big.

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah. There was a time. Yes, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, that's exactly. It was very Very loose. You just got out of jail when you gotta go back, Right?

[Gigi Drummond]

Right.

[Richard Rollins]

You're an alcoholic. Ah, it's all right.

[Pre K]

Hey, man, wear long pants so it covers up that leg monitor.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Pre K]

Ankle monitor.

[John Clay Wolf]

800. 800. Speaking of ankle monitors, we did bust that son of a. That stole the cars. Yeah. Yeah. Who'd we get?

[Richard Rollins]

Well, you don't know the story.

[John Clay Wolf]

So did you see a deal on my Instagram reel where I was like, I'm gonna find you. And I showed a picture of his license plate? I mean, his license. People like, you can't do that. You can't put a guy's license out on the Internet. I will. And I'm sitting there showing his license, showing his name. He used to play for the 49ers. What? Yeah. And he put a car into us, and he did a VIN swap on it, and we missed it, and fake payoff, everything. 40 grand. We got beat out of $40,000.

[Pre K]

Wow. Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then I started. He obviously doesn't subscribe to my Instagram because I was very surprised that he came back in the system after I put that APB shout out for this guy. Like, well, hell, here he is. I said, let's set him up. So we bought his car, we gave him a bad check so that he would come back looking. Hey, man, the checks no good. We'll come over here, we'll swap it out with a new one. Bam, bam, bam.

[Richard Rollins]

Bitch cuffs his ass.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cuffed his ass.

[Richard Rollins]

Did you really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yesterday, Maxine Turley. We all worked on it. Where did they catch him?

[Richard Rollins]

At the Anaheim office. Sean, over there. One of our buyers, he set it up, got him there, sat him in the office, say, hey, hold on, let me. Let me go get the check. And then he's got a little bit of video of them cuffing him and putting his head down.

[John Clay Wolf]

God, I wish we had taped the whole thing. Damn it. That'd been great.

[Richard Rollins]

He was trying to. They said, well, the cop, like, well, if you do it where you can't see it, you can tape a little bit, but I don't know what he got all together, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

So when they cuffed him, what did they tell him?

[Richard Rollins]

Well, he's got three felony counts, okay? So I don't know what they told him from there, but, I mean, they. They've got all the evidence of what he's done to us. And now the good news is, you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Know, he still got our 40 grand, right? Right.

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah, but at least we've taken somebody off the streets, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, this is the Second one. This is the second time we've set a sting up and popped them. And both of them were in California.

[Richard Rollins]

Good point.

[John Clay Wolf]

The fact the theft is California and Georgia, that's where it is.

[Richard Rollins]

Used to be Louisiana a little bit, but not so much now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you're just thinking about that one. And that was. That was on the line of Mississippi. Louisiana.

[Richard Rollins]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're probably from Georgia. Yeah. California. I think 90 of our fraud applicants are California.

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah, I would go with that. All I can say is just don't. Don't try us. Don't try us to give me the vin. We'll bust your ass. I'll find. I'll figure out a way we'll get it. We'll get it done.

[John Clay Wolf]

Kind of back to our hiring practices instead of saying, no, sir, you don't qualify. You're a bad person. Like. Yeah, come on in. Can I get you a beer? Kind of reminds me when I beat the hell out of that guy that screwed my wife. Yeah. I got him a beer and I sat him down.

[Pre K]

Get him relaxed.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then when we were fighting, he hit me with a painter stick. Because he was a painter.

[Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it broke over my head.

[Pre K]

Damn.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then I picked that stick up. It was just rise about 3 foot long left. I was whipping his ass. Just light abrasion surface. Sure. It's painful.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is the stingers.

[Richard Rollins]

There's something about that.

[Pre K]

Just enjoyed that.

[Richard Rollins]

The revenge.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah, there is something. But I got to the point of the situation that day. That was 20 something years ago. There's like, now what am I gonna do? Am I gonna kill him? Yeah, well, I mean, I really don't. She's not worth that.

[Gigi Drummond]

You show some good restraint because with like a short piece of already broken fresh wood, like, I. I might have stabbed the guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it had a good edge on it and a very, very good pointy edge on it. Yeah. Shanked him. I could have shanked him very easily. That's right, you could have shanked him. But I. After. After, you know, after whipping his butt.

[Richard Rollins]

Do you feel bad?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because he was.

[Richard Rollins]

He had one leg too, so I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Didn'T know he had one leg at the time. I found out he had one leg later. And that's what. You know. If you're gonna go around and screw somebody's wife and you got one leg, wear some short pants every once in a while. Just let people know so that when they were whipping your ass, they'll give you a little break.

[Richard Rollins]

Would you. Would you have said if you knew he had one leg. Would you be like, you know what? I just feel bad for my ex.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no, no. This was a bad situation, sir.

[Richard Rollins]

Okay?

[John Clay Wolf]

I would have. I would have gone through with everything I did, except I would have laid off maybe 25%, okay? And I damn sure. But it was weird, you know, I couldn't figure out why he wouldn't run away.

[Pre K]

Sure. He only had the one leg.

[John Clay Wolf]

He just wouldn't run away.

[Pre K]

He wouldn't run away.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was very odd.

[Pre K]

So you beat him with his leg.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's his name? Peter Greek. Pete the Greek. He's a bartender somewhere.

[Richard Rollins]

The story will never get old.

[Pre K]

Never ever.

[Gigi Drummond]

I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you left him a leg to stand on, so you. And we have his other leg here in the studio and we have. When we have celebrities up here, we haven't sign it.

[Pre K]

Let me get it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nope, there's no reason to. Okay, let's save it for later. Let him keep wishing. I should bring it with me to the saloon tonight.

[Pre K]

Oh, that'd be fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I'm going, guys. If you're big show fans and you're coming to Walnut Springs today, go to the GMTV Saloon at 10 o'clock. The doors will be open for our public. Come upstairs to the saloon. I'll be up there broadcasting. Rollins is going to come join me. Richard from Gas Monkey a little bit. Don't be loud, please, because it will be live radio. And no, I can't sit there and talk to you. And when you're waving at me, hey, da da da. But yeah, we will have it. The garage is open before the car show. I'm gonna be broadcasting live from there. So please come. Oh, I'm completely screwing you up right here, Bob, on your ending. Wow. 800, 807. The ending. You know, I'm talking about 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. I'll explain just a second. When we go to break no sense and pretend your eyes give you away something. This is the John Clay Wolf show. America's largest weekend morning show. 800, 800 radio. Check out the [e-mail] or John Claywolf.com. this is the John Clay Wolf show.

[Gigi Drummond]

I get the same old dreams same time every night.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I like this Tommy boy shirt. I don't think they can see it on the stream.

[Richard Rollins]

Callahan parts.

[Gigi Drummond]

What do I.

[John Clay Wolf]

So that's weird. Can you take that camera and move it down or. It doesn't work like that.

[Richard Rollins]

He's got to walk over here and.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do that it doesn't matter. It's not that big.

[Pre K]

Zoom out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Doesn't matter. No big. No big. Gigi, what's on your mind? What's going on out there in the world? Actually a lot is going on out here. Like Coachella where. Where Weezer and Lady Gaga and Missy Elliott and the Go Go's and John Mayer played with Zed and T Pain and they covered classic Stapleton or Stapleton's classics. Yeah. Let's listen. Cut nine. Who's this?

[Richard Rollins]

That's T. Pain.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really?

[Richard Rollins]

Doing Tennessee Whiskey.

[John Clay Wolf]

He sounds good without a. Without a vocalizer. Auto tuner.

[Richard Rollins]

It's a little bit tuned.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Richard Rollins]

But he can sing.

[John Clay Wolf]

I did not know he could sing with it.

[Richard Rollins]

Coachello.

[Pre K]

Yeah.

[Richard Rollins]

How much is a ticket for Coachella? Have you seen. I've heard it's like $500 or something.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I heard it's expensive.

[Richard Rollins]

Why, why do they have these tickets so expensive for festivals? Now, John. Cuz you remember when the time where you can go to a festival, it was like, I don't know, like 100 bucks or so. Not even that.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's just the artist charge so much.

[Richard Rollins]

It's just you're not going to be able to experience it though.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, they keep selling them out. Yeah. Why do they charge? You sound like a little man. I know. Why are they charging for so much everything? Like last night we charged more for the Pat Green show and it was a more intimate night. Sure, but it was $20 more than tonight. Tonight's completely sold out. Balls to the wall. Last night was half. But the people that paid extra for last night got a lot more, you know.

[Gigi Drummond]

Great show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, that was fun. Did you go?

[Richard Rollins]

Yes. Yeah, it was very cool. I. I had some questions though. Like he walks out to the Proclaimers 5000 mile. You know that song?

[Pre K]

No, I would walk. 5.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I like that. I love that I missed the opener. I was at the cantina eating jcw dip.

[Pre K]

That's all the way. $838 for general admission. That's not for the VIP section.

[John Clay Wolf]

838 plus plus. So it's a thousand. Yeah, yeah. Because the, the ticket people took a hit.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yes, but you're seeing historic stuff. I mean, Brian May was there, Weird Al was there. Lady Gaga did her first show of the festival.

[John Clay Wolf]

But is that for a three day pass?

[Pre K]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's still not worth it. Well, it's just. What then? You know, I'm. I'm not condoning it. But don't go.

[Gigi Drummond]

I was gonna Say that is an opinion.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was it sold out? It was worth it to the people if they sold it out. Yeah. When they don't sell it out, they'll back the ticket prices up. It's just that simple.

[Gigi Drummond]

And Coachella, unlike a lot of festivals these days, really goes all out with their special guests and marketing and like, you know, nobody who went didn't like it.

[Richard Rollins]

I guess you make a vacation out of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

We had a guy out here last week out here in Bosque county, and he's with Hundred X and which is kind of like under the big sky in Montana. And they have an event like Coachella and they want to do it out here. So. In Walnut Springs. Yep. Wow. And they came to us. So my buddy's got a big ranch down the street, 1500 acre place. It's got this awesome meadow in it, and that's where they want to do it. He's like, can we take the whole town? Can we close the town down? He's like, you kind of own the town. I'm like, well, me and my friends, I guess, own the buildings in the town. We don't own the town. Yeah, but like, dude, if you bring 5 or 10,000 people here in one time, you go home the town, you don't have to close nothing down. Because they want to get a pass. Right. To go to all the restaurants and all the bars. What they sell is an experience that is all inclusive. So if you buy the pass and you get anything you want, and they wanted to have that past work at all the establishments in town, which I'm a. I'm. I own three of them and part of three of them. Well, I said, we'll figure that out. Let's not worry about the little things.

[Gigi Drummond]

That's kind of like playing.

[John Clay Wolf]

But they want to market it as they have their own town. Right. And. And that's fine.

[Gigi Drummond]

That's like when musicians play for the door, you know, you're getting. You're gonna get your part of that. Great.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who is?

[Gigi Drummond]

You will. If you own some of the establishments and they've got an all inclusive ticket, they have to pay the establishments.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Gigi Drummond]

You know, so if you're the establishments, like you're playing for the door, which is all nothing but. Nothing but profitable.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Bottom line, when they're playing for door, it's very simple. The establishments make the money on the concessions. For lack of a better term.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So your place is full. That means the bar runs big and the restaurant runs big. It's just that. So the band can have all they want. I don't care.

[Gigi Drummond]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they do.

[Gigi Drummond]

So I wonder who they get, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dave Matthews, Lenny Kravitz.

[Richard Rollins]

That's his type of. Well, that'd be huge.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, they do a lot of events. They. It's. It's kind of like. Remember that goofy Friar Festival? We have a story about that. And they build all these tents, right, that are glamping, glamping tents. So it's. Right. So. So at the. At the place, you're. It's kind of like Burning Man. It's like a Burning man meets Coachella. That's all inclusive.

[Richard Rollins]

There aren't stuff like. Because about. It's like art.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, Burning Man's about drugs.

[Richard Rollins]

Well, it is about drugs.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, true.

[Richard Rollins]

But there's art involved in those. Drugs.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ye. On drugs and they make art.

[Richard Rollins]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

So are you asking me if people are going to get high and make art? Probably. Okay, if I was a guessing, what's your.

[Pre K]

Billy McFarland, guy who actually went to prison for four years for Fryer Fest 1, has now come up with Fryer Fest 2. It has been indefinitely postponed. However, the first one landed him in federal prison. Of course, that and two documentaries about the big debacle didn't stop people from paying thousands of dollars for the new Fyre Fest 2. Here's Billy talking on the Today show about it. Kevour.

[John Clay Wolf]

Fire 2 is real. My dream is finally becoming a reality.

[Richard Rollins]

Fire 2 really isn't about the past, and it's not really about me. It's about taking the vision which is strong.

[John Clay Wolf]

What makes Fire so cool is that.

[Richard Rollins]

We are selling the experience of fire.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to be one of the.

[Richard Rollins]

First festivals that can sell out with no artists.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's 2,000 people taking the risk, seeking the adventure and wanting to be there for the moment. The risk. Is it a risk to buy a ticket to Fyre Festival 2? I think it's always a risk.

[Richard Rollins]

You're taking a risk because I made.

[John Clay Wolf]

A lot of bad decisions and messed up the first festival until it's experienced there. There is a risk component to it. Fyre Festival 2 is about Andy, the gay guy that performs services on the Bahamian gay constitute so that he would not stop the show. He took one for the team. That's what. That's what I always say. Like when people say, well, it's not my job, I'm like, let me just tell you a story about Andy, the gay guy. It wasn't his job either, but he took one for the team.

[Pre K]

Would you buy tickets, though, to Fire Fest, too.

[John Clay Wolf]

It'll sell out. Because. Or because people are stupid. That's right. People are stupid.

[Richard Rollins]

They want to see what's going to happen.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, the rich kids, money and too much time.

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah.

[Pre K]

I mean, that's who bought the tickets the first time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Stupid people. Did he go to jail?

[Pre K]

Yes. Four years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so he had four years. It was just like the movie Blow. They got put in prison, and then George Young and the other guy sat there and mapped out the next deal, and they had a good run. And this guy had four years to.

[Richard Rollins]

Study his better ideas. Like, we're not gonna have anything. They're just gonna show up.

[Pre K]

It's a. It's a show with no people. See, it's really cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

No acts.

[Pre K]

No acts.

[Gigi Drummond]

What is that?

[John Clay Wolf]

What kind of show is that? What is Burning Man? It's not. What is burning? Oh, you know that year that the man ran in into the fire, into the burning man thing? He committed suicide. Right, okay. Oh, well, a couple years ago, a man committed suicide by running into the burning man fire. And you know, I wasn't trying to be me to be mean, but on my. On my Facebook, I put man dies burning at Burning man. Ha ha ha ha. And people unfriended me for that. Can you believe that I ran over a dog last night? What? Lord just hit a dog in the middle of the road? Well, it just kind of reminded me of what she's saying. Dude, it was black. It was terrible. I was going to hit a black. Why?

[Richard Rollins]

Does the dog color matter?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, because I could.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

I got to go dark. You couldn't see it because I'm on a. I'm on a two lane highway in the middle of the country with no cars and I couldn't see it. He just walked right out in front of me. I was going 55, 60 miles an hour. Did you stop and see if he was okay? He's not okay. He's not okay?

[Pre K]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, there was no way he's okay. So that's why. Yeah. Don't know. There's no reason to do that. It was like he committed suicide. I really felt like he committed suicide. I'm telling you, it was weird. It really bothered me. I've never done that before. I've never had that happen to me before. And it was just Duke and I. I thought it was a cow. Jeez.

[Pre K]

Big dog.

[Gigi Drummond]

Big old dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

And maybe he's okay because my thing sits up high and I've got that scooper thing on the bottom. Sure.

[Richard Rollins]

When the coyote Black coyote. Oh, I mean, you sure it was black?

[John Clay Wolf]

Maybe. I'm damn sure it was black. It might have been a mountain lion. I don't know. A mountain lion? Yeah. Yeah.

[Gigi Drummond]

We got pumas.

[John Clay Wolf]

We do have pumas.

[Gigi Drummond]

We do.

[John Clay Wolf]

We do have pumas. The Puma jet ran off the Runway in Mexico and they took the puma logos off of it. And the end number. Did you see that?

[Gigi Drummond]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, that really freaked me out, man.

[Pre K]

Yeah, that's. It's. I hit a rabbit once. It stays with you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, when a rabbit jumps out in front of you, you don't swerve, dude. No, no, because you will wreck. If you're. I mean, if you're going slow, that's one thing, but if you're on a highway, speed and a rabbit, you can't do it because you're going to run off the ditch and wreck.

[Gigi Drummond]

It's rough. You always feel bad after a deal like that. Luckily, though, I can make like an entertaining show promo out of that. I think, you know, I don't think so. Has this ever happened to you?

[Pre K]

I'm a dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who cares?

[Gigi Drummond]

I'm a dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

I didn't think about it until Gigi just said about the burning Man. Dude just ran out in the middle of the road just to die. Committed suicide. It was. It was.

[Gigi Drummond]

It was.

[John Clay Wolf]

It really bothered me.

[Richard Rollins]

Thanks for bringing the room down, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks, Gigi. Yeah. Wow.

[Gigi Drummond]

You're welcome.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, we'll be right back.

I'm trying to rush now. This 1040 got me confused. I've waited till the last minute.

[John Clay Wolf]

Morning, everybody. Saturday before Easter Sunday. Good Friday's behind us. This is badass Saturday.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we are doing the car show. It is still on here in Walnut Springs today. I'm going to be broadcast right now I'm in the studio at the ranch. I'm going to run and an hour to town to the saloon, the GMTV garage. And I am going to be doing the show from up there. So if anybody's coming out here today and wants to sit in on the show, that doesn't mean you're gonna be on the air, but you can sit in the seats there at the bar in the saloon and that's where we'll be broadcasting from. Richard Rollins will be joining me as well down there. You know, he's not the most timely son of a bitch I've ever met.

[Pre K]

Well said.

[Richard Rollins]

10 maybe.

[John Clay Wolf]

But yeah, it's all still on. We did the Pat Green concert last night. He's on C. Yeah, Rollins on CP time for sure. That's color. Color people time. We did Pat Green show last night. Then today is what we're doing right now. And then it'll go into the car show. We're selling some cars on. Bring a trailer at 2 o'clock. I'll put the link up on our Facebook page. There's six good ones. They're all ending at the same time. I'm going to do a live stream and comment on what's happening at the end of those auctions because it's pretty fun because it lights up in the last two minutes and people start talking smack in the comments and bidding against each other and full day and yeah, it's. It's cloudy outside. It is not raining. It's cloudy outside. Don't not. Don't put off your plans because of it's gonna rain. Is the do it for Jesus, huh?

[Pre K]

Is it bringing trailer part on TV on YouTube?

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah, actually we can pull it up now. You can see what the bids are at currently because we have it all set up. It's pretty cool. It's going to be very. If you watch the red zone, NFL folks, football fans, when they're fixing to score. Yeah. John's going to be in a little corner and then the actual bid's going to be up, set up. We can pull it up.

[John Clay Wolf]

So there's George Jones's truck. What's it said? Oh, you did a good job there. So that's. So that car sitting at 30 grand, that George Jones truck sitting at about 30 grand. What? What? That Mustang sitting at 43. Yeah, I'm I absolute no reserve to mall this one. I'm going to lose my ass, I'm afraid. This 57, that's Mark's truck, I think. I think it's going to. I think it's going to bring us 125,000.

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah, he was pretty excited I was talking to him last night.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, he was up there. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Speaking of cars, I went to Midland on Thursday to check out our new office in Midland inside this restaurant that my buddy's opening called. I haven't told you about that. No. We all got this 16, 000 foot facility, used to be called Friskies. It's opening in a week or Next Thursday is F1 Smoke, F1 Tavern. And it's incredible. And we're gonna have an office there. And there was also a group of cars that I needed to go look at. Remember I put a shout out last week on the radio looking for that Delmer guy?

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I've got someone, a listener. I had three of them hit me immediately and I called one and he knew him well and I went up and met with one and he's a super fan, so that was fun. I didn't like when I got in his truck and the show was playing.

[Richard Rollins]

Is that we. Isn't that weird?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, it's not his fault. But, you know, he told me how much he. And he's part of the gang, the wolf pack fan club and all that, but we need to get the rest of those episodes and put them into the archives because he said, dude, once you get into this, you can't stop. He said, but we go backwards. It's like binge watching television. And I've heard this a lot. Obviously I haven't done it because we're the ones doing the show and I've never listened to the replays, but yeah, it's. It's it's funny how somehow we loop people in and they stick. I had a guy drive up last night and paid $250 to meet Pat Green at the VIP thing. And he didn't give a damn about Pat Green. He just wanted to sit there with me and talk. And he went through a bad health situation and he was telling me, like, crying, saying, you helped save my life. And I can promise you that's not what I set out to do.

[Richard Rollins]

But that's awesome.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was not the intention. I am so glad that that's what happened. But he just, you know my story about getting hurt and coming back, going broken, all that. He just said, you know, it helped me get mad at my situation and fix it.

[Richard Rollins]

That's awesome.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I was. I was like, wow. Yeah.

[Richard Rollins]

I think if you attend to do something like that, it won't happen.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Richard Rollins]

Gotta be natural. And that's what happened there. That's great.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was intending not to get kicked off of FCC airwaves and be extremely entertaining. That's really my only intention is to push it as hard as I can without getting kicked out.

[Richard Rollins]

So far, so good.

[John Clay Wolf]

We've been kicked off a few, I'll tell you. But. But I. But. So I went to look at. So I went to look at Delmer's cars in Midland. We pull up and it's this weird thing that really looks like Breaking Bad, the underground meth lab in Mexico. Oh, wow. Seriously. And I see a little auction trailer sitting there. It said, you know, Jim Bob's auction service? I'm like, that's not good. I don't know what that is, but. But that's not good. And then I get in there and it's. I felt like I walked into a trap. They knew I was coming. And then this guy is the broker. And then you got the little old man. And I told them, I am not going to deal with broker. I refuse to deal with a broker. And his deal is, so you've got to pay the little old man's price, which is too much, and then pay 10% to the broker. I'm like, dude, I make about 5% net. I'm not paying you 10% of nothing. I mean, well, you know, and we started. So. So there. He does have super cool cars. They're underground. So you pull them in this garage and there's probably 20 cars in the garage upstairs. And then you go on a lift and they put them underground and it stacked up. I'll show you some pictures. This is incredible. But his Prices were just, you know, I thought you were like 80 years old and you wanted to sell them. No, he's wanting to bust somebody's ass is what he's wanting to do. So I pick out, you know, we're walking around and pick out a car and. And they're running a lot of game too. Like before we got there, this Nikki Camaro sold. That Nikki Camaro. So those cars aren't sold. And this one's gone and that one's gone. They sold one, but they didn't. I mean, it's just bull. I mean, I've been doing this too long.

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm getting to talk to the broker and I'm like, what do you do for a living? You know, he said, I'm an auctioneer. I remember. Okay. And, and then I like, how did you make your. What'd you do for the rest of your living, you know, all these years? Because he's retired auctioneer. I was a horse racer. I was, I was in the horse racing business and I'm thinking, oh my God. So you made your living in the horse racing business, one of the most crooked businesses in the world on planet earth. And now you're an auctioneer. And here I am in the middle of the desert with you standing between me and this 80 year old guy and these cars that are too high. I probably should just leave now. So I pick out this in the little old man will grab you up and start telling you a story.

[Pre K]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now this car was lemon taste you there was. Oh God. You got salesman. Oh, I was getting. Dude, I was getting put together like a jigsaw puzzle. You're famous. We're so happy you're here. You're so famous. I know you can buy this whole room. Let me show you this one. Now this car. I got a call in 1985 from this bail. This lawyer, his client was going to jail and he had this car and I came down there and da, da, da. So it's a 70 Chevelle 454 and it's an LS5, which is a good one. But they put an LS6 in it, which is the super good one. An LS6 is huge money. Now that's five is good money. So it's. But it's kind of a. It's not the matching numbers. It's not a, it's not a Picasso, it's not a bourbon LS6. How much is that? 250 grand. And I'm like, what'd you Give the guy for it back at 85. I just got to ask. At the moment when he's fixed to go to jail and his lawyer sold it to you? Well, boy, you know, that's a long time ago. I don't remember. But. But after this long story. It's a clone. It's not. No, it's a clone. No, no, no. Understand, when they did the engine swap, he put the big engine in it to make it an LS6. It's not. It's not. But he wants LS6 money. Like, okay, so. And then he said. I said, isn't that a little long on the tooth? Well, bland, if you don't like my prices, you know, you can just leave. Oh, here we go. So I walk around a little bit. I'm like, hey, aren't on. This W30 Oldsmobile is 67 442, and it's supposed to have red fenders on the inside. Well, tell this damn story. Whatever. So we go upstairs, and we go through a few more. We get to a split window vet. He has three split window vests. Super desirable cars. This car's got bad paint on it. It. The air filters off of it. You can tell it hadn't run in 100 years. And he's like, it's got air condition. Like, yeah, but it's aftermarket air condition. No, that's factory air condition. No, it's not factory air condition. That's dealer installed air condition. Well, that's the DGM dealer. I said it's different, but I'm not. Boy, if you. How much is this car? It's 130 grand. I'm like, I will give 100. I told you. It's 130 grand. Hang on. So I've got to pay you 130 grand, and then I got to go check out with old Joe over here and pay him another 10%. And I say, you know what, Delmer? I'm going to take your advice. What's that? I'm going to leave. Y'all call me when you're ready to sell your car. Right?

[Pre K]

You want to get real.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, and in all the setup about honesty and sincerity, Right? And he doesn't know that we've already backgrounded this list. And I know what he paid for half of this stuff. Yeah. Hey, how much is that resto model? Oh, it's. I think I gave. He told this whole story about being drunk at Barrett auction six years ago and just bought it and didn't know what he bought. I gave 130 grand for it. Would you take your money back probably on that one, you know. And I already knew he gave 88, 000.

[Gigi Drummond]

Oh, geez. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then he got to pay homes another 10 on the way out to get out. Absolute racket. I, I felt, you know, like when they carry the guy out to the desert, to the little. To the little nest and like Breaking bad, that's what this was. Us. It's the damnedest thing. And then when I got to talking to other people in town because the fella that brought me out there is a great guy. We're going to do stuff with him. And he, he introduced me to some other car people. There's a lot of cars. Yeah, yeah. And they're all like, dude, you're messing with dome.

[Richard Rollins]

Are you crazy?

[John Clay Wolf]

Buy nothing off that old crazy coot. All of his stuff is half ass put together. He lies about the models. He lies about this. Like, why were you messing with Delmer? I'm like, I'm learning. I'm learning.

[Richard Rollins]

It would be so fun. I want to take the car show, but I haven't driven it yet.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but is the chance that it breaks down on the way to town 50%?

50.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's 50. 50.

[Richard Rollins]

Unless you have somebody follow you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hans, are you going to follow me? I'm going to follow. Okay, then I'll have a backup plan.

[Richard Rollins]

Okay.

[Pre K]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

I hope it's not. If. If it runs out of gas. I hope it's not over by that dog that you.

[Pre K]

You killed last night.

[John Clay Wolf]

You didn't have to say that. You didn't have to say that. J.D. you didn't have to say that. That was a quick hit. In and out. I was trying to get out of it and you had to do that. Why do you do that? It's called color. Color.

[Pre K]

I'm coloring in white.

[John Clay Wolf]

Red on black. Jesus Christ. While you're at it, Right. We'll stop by and do a service. What's going on in Florida?

[Gigi Drummond]

Sunshine State News with your certified lifeguard, J.D. ryan.

[Pre K]

All right, speaking of speeding on the highways, a cop in Florida pulled over a vehicle which was flying down the road 105 miles. An 45 zone, by the way. Now, what could possibly make someone speed that fast? He pulled her over, he asked the question, where are you going so fast? She was on. She was late for her own wedding. The question is, did he give her a ticket or not? Cut 7.

[J.D. Ryan]

Whose wedding is it?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's mine. What time is it? It's 2:30. We're at. They already late. We're trying to.

[J.D. Ryan]

Ah, just give me a minute. I'll let you take her, but I'm gonna give you a court date.

[Gigi Drummond]

I'm gonna.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's a mandatory court appearance.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. All right, come on.

[Pre K]

Come on, man. It's her wedding. She's in a dress.

[Richard Rollins]

Wait, was she in the dress?

[Pre K]

Yes, she was in the dress. I know, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Come on.

[Pre K]

Well, first of all, why is the bride late to the wedding? Isn't that a big deal for brides?

[Richard Rollins]

You usually get ready at the venue.

[Pre K]

She's probably hanging out with the best man somewhere, I'm thinking. All right, so you remember back in January, a principal at an elementary school in Florida rested for throwing a big party in her house. Bunch of teenagers bunch booze. Well, now, here's some of that report, just to remind you what it sounded like. Cut 8.

[John Clay Wolf]

An underage house party at a Brevard county principal's home ends with first responders treating a heavily intoxicated juvenile in the front yard. A nearby traffic stop landed one juvenile in jail, charged with the dui. Hill Brodigan is the principal at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School. And Cocoa beach Police say around 100 kids were partying at her home on Sunday night and drinking alcohol that was available in coolers throughout the house. Hill Brodigan is facing charges of child neglect, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and holding an open house party.

[Gigi Drummond]

Wow, that was a big deal back there.

[Pre K]

Huge deal. Carly Anderson was a teacher from the same school. She also allegedly was at the house party. She got reassigned to a different school after the incident, but that was before the police body cam video popped up.

[Gigi Drummond]

Oh, no.

[Pre K]

Yeah. Cut 8.2.

[John Clay Wolf]

Officer Brown, tell them to put me in handcuffs. Is wrong with them? Look, I'm concerned about a child that's being put into one of these vehicles, and it's none of my business.

[Richard Rollins]

Do you want the truth? There was like 200 kids here drinking. I've already known drinking. Okay? And you're drunk as well.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not drunk. Yes, you are.

[Richard Rollins]

I smell it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, you smell it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why are you yelling at me? Because you're yelling.

[Richard Rollins]

You're here with your boss having a.

[John Clay Wolf]

Party with 200 kids who are drinking.

[Richard Rollins]

Get out of my face now.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's on your camera. It is.

[Pre K]

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah, go to the stream real quick, too. The JCW show.

They're fighting oligarchy. And they're also huge supporters, of course, of global warming and the green New Deal agenda. Elsewhere, investigators still looking through hundreds of images around Gene Hackman's Santa Fe residence as part of their evidence and part of their investigation. The photos included evidence of dead rodents, rodent feces, and live traps throughout the building. Did you see the video, Bob?

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not right. Yeah, I never heard that. That before.

[Gigi Drummond]

[John Clay Wolf]

Garage. Wow.

[Gigi Drummond]

Man's an artist. Man is an artist.

[Pre K]

Amazing.

[J.D. Ryan]

We're holding down the fort while John is gone to the W6 Saloon to finish the show with Pat Green. We hope Richard Rawlings will Be down there in a little while, too. Yep, yep, yep. It is car show weekend here in Walnut Springs, and if you're too far away to get here, man, I feel.

[Pre K]

For you, but don't worry about the.

[Gigi Drummond]

Way you got a lot going on.

[Pre K]

It's great.

[Gigi Drummond]

Turley and I were talking earlier this week, and Turley has got a big bone on about top debut albums, and I haven't seen his list, but I'm thinking now, these are debut albums. And like, you say. Like, you might say Appetite for Destruction, Guns N'ROSES that was not their debut album.

[Pre K]

Really?

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah. It may be considered a debut album, but, like, I've got a. I've got a couple that I think would make it. Gigi, you know what I'm talking about out, like, the first album an artist comes out with, if they're great debuts.

[Pre K]

You know, because Pat Green wasn't his debut. Pretty big.

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah. That's where I got the rabbit hole started, because he's gonna be out here. And I was just looking up. I was like, how many albums did he sell on his first one? It was, like, 250, 000. It wasn't even.

[Pre K]

Wow.

[Richard Rollins]

It was on his own.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really?

[Richard Rollins]

And it was.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Pre K]

He wasn't signed yet.

[John Clay Wolf]

Correct.

[Pre K]

Yeah.

[Richard Rollins]

So that's like. That's amazing.

[Pre K]

And then I started the label went, wait a minute. We'll sign this guy.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah.

[Richard Rollins]

And then I was like, well, who's got the biggest? And I went down this rabbit hole of like, holy crap. I just. I had no idea.

[Pre K]

Normally, bands don't start off huge. Like, I'm sure the Rolling Stones first album wasn't, you know, platinum.

[Gigi Drummond]

I. I guess it depends, and I'm not sure about that one.

[Pre K]

Depends on the Beatles.

[Gigi Drummond]

Meet the Beatles here in the United States was a huge.

[Pre K]

That was a huge thing. Yeah. But they. They arrived as a big deal.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah. And it wasn't. It wasn't technically their debut album because their debut album in it wouldn't meet the Beatles. A totally different.

[Pre K]

Oh, okay.

[Gigi Drummond]

Well, I had different songs. I was thinking Boston. The first Boston album was probably a great debut.

[Richard Rollins]

All right, so you want to start on this list now, here?

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah. Hit it.

[Richard Rollins]

So it's different. So I had to find this on different brags, I guess you'd say, different websites, because everybody's kind of has their own little, like, opinions of what. Yeah. What was big for Rolling Stone?

[John Clay Wolf]

They're.

[Richard Rollins]

They're, you know, when their opinions for albums, there's more of, like, they're kind of nerdy talk than Anything else. So some of their top 10 stuff is like, really? That wasn't that big of an album.

[Pre K]

Shouldn't it be pure numbers, things that were sold?

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah. So the top 10, I want you guys to start guessing. So what do you think of top 10? This is platinum. Like how many platinum albums are sold? Like, who do you think back? We're just like, okay. Their first album. Album was like, okay, what was a big, big hit. And then that album was actually great too.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, Bob.

[Richard Rollins]

Well, you can start off. You said Boston, was it Boston?

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah, Boston. Boston. Self titled debut.

[Richard Rollins]

No, not on the top 10.

[Gigi Drummond]

Really?

[Richard Rollins]

No. And I would have, I would have thought so too because, I mean, how many albums they sell? Their first, their debut was like, oh, gosh, I would imagine.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah, they had a lot. I mean, they were notorious for not doing another album album for, you know, a little While. And their third album was like eight years after the second.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're.

[Richard Rollins]

They're. Yeah, their debut sold 20 million. And that's not in the top 10. Now according to this list here, not. Not in the top 10. 20 million. Boston soul.

[Gigi Drummond]

Of course, in a Rolling Stones poll.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[Gigi Drummond]

Because you're, you're right. Oh, I'm seeing matchbox 20 there.

[Richard Rollins]

Yes.

[Gigi Drummond]

Big debut album.

[Richard Rollins]

Yes, that one. That one's a big one too. But no, not on the top 10. They sold 15 million. Matchbox 20. I'll give you, I'll give you number 10. Run DMC.

[Pre K]

God, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

I knew it. I knew it.

[Richard Rollins]

Okay, how did you know that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Cuz it was good. It was great. It was better than great. Are you kidding me?

[Richard Rollins]

It was.

[John Clay Wolf]

Caused me to break out my Run dmc.

[Gigi Drummond]

It kind of for white people, changed the world. Because that's the first rap a lot of people heard ever. And rap was already established. But Run dmc, they did that little duet with Aerosmith and everybody's like, oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I love that.

[Gigi Drummond]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Was that Steven Tyler?

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah. Walk this way.

[Richard Rollins]

See, this got the white people into hip hop, right? Yeah, that's number 10. What do you think number nine would be?

[Pre K]

I don't know where it lines up, but Bob Dylan had to be in there somewhere.

[Gigi Drummond]

No, no, no.

[Richard Rollins]

Bob Dylan, what do you consider a debut? Because we're talking about this. You're like, that's true. Saying what? What's a date?

[Pre K]

Like Bob was saying, the debut in the, in England for the Beatles wasn't Meet the Beatles.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah, right. And Billy, you know, Billy Joel didn't really have a hit record of any value until the Stranger, which was like his fourth album. Album. And that's generally the thing. Prince, Purple Rain, huge. Not a debut album. It's like his. It was like his fifth album. So debut albums are a big deal. I was thinking all week long when you brought up the topic, surely. Guns N'ROSES Appetite for Destruction. But it's not their debut. Here's one, and I'll just guess. Wham. Make it big. I remember that was huge when I was like in the eighth grade. No, all the little girls love that.

[Richard Rollins]

This band here, Van Halen 78.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it.

[Richard Rollins]

They were huge. Oh, wow. There's video. If you go to the stream right now, folks, too. There's video of John walking up.

[John Clay Wolf]

He made it.

[Richard Rollins]

He made it there to the saloon, by the way.

[Pre K]

Go to jcwshow.com and click on the YouTube stream and you'll see John actually arriving.

[Richard Rollins]

Hey, he got there fast.

[Pre K]

Oh, he did. He had been gone 4 minutes walking.

[Richard Rollins]

Up to the saloon. You can go out there too right now to the saloon of Walnut Springs, join John at the garage.

[Pre K]

You're not joining John on the air, so don't stand back and go, hi, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's going on?

[Gigi Drummond]

Okay, so what about, like, Led Zeppelin 1. The first Led Zeppelin.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's.

[Richard Rollins]

Let's know what, GG can play this game too.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's right. Thank you. You're welcome very much. Okay, well, Gigi, how about the Ramones?

[Richard Rollins]

Okay, so that's interesting you said that because the Rolling Stones said that that's their number one album for most, the biggest.

[Gigi Drummond]

Oh, my gosh.

[John Clay Wolf]

I got it.

[Richard Rollins]

Right, but it's not technically a biggest debut album. That's just their opinion. Okay, I. I was kind of surprised by that. And I'm surprised that you even pulled that out. The Ramones.

[Gigi Drummond]

She likes Ramones, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sometimes. I know some things.

[Gigi Drummond]

Of course you do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not a lot of the time, but sometimes.

[Pre K]

Sometimes. You got Google?

[Richard Rollins]

Did you Google that?

[J.D. Ryan]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

That's right. I cheated. Here's how to do it. I cheated. Yes, I did. And I'm proud of it.

[Richard Rollins]

That's not. Not on the list, unfortunately. This list here, that's. That's more of just an opinion. Maybe you know this guy here, Elvis Costello, number eight.

[Gigi Drummond]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I like that album.

[Richard Rollins]

That's kind of more of a. I don't know. I mean, it's Nichish.

[Gigi Drummond]

Self titled.

[Richard Rollins]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Richard Rollins]

Actually, no, that's me. My am is true.

[Gigi Drummond]

My aim is true. Okay. Yeah. What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

[John Clay Wolf]

I love him and boxing Day and all that stuff. Yeah, he made a boxer song. What was that song?

[Richard Rollins]

Now, you said that this album shouldn't be considered, but it is on the top 10 list here.

[Gigi Drummond]

Oh, is it really?

[Richard Rollins]

Yes.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah.

[Richard Rollins]

Number seven.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I know.

[Gigi Drummond]

It's the first one I thought of, like, for debuts that everybody went, wow. My little, little girlfriend was just in love with Axl Rose immediately. And it was the beginning of the end. Great album, though.

[Richard Rollins]

Appetite for Destruction, number six. And Rolling Stones really like this one, too. They had in their top 10 the Velvet Underground.

[Gigi Drummond]

Really?

[Richard Rollins]

1967. Were you a fan of theirs, Bobbo?

[Gigi Drummond]

I was not exposed young, but I picked it up later. Yeah, that's. It's. It's along the lines of a Bob Dylan record. I mean, it's you. You pick up a lot that you don't get immediately, but further listening. Yeah. Velvet Underground sounds deeper than. Than you initially think.

[Richard Rollins]

We're gonna go through this list real quick because we only have about 40 seconds left, but top five, Elvis Presley.

[Gigi Drummond]

Oh, yeah.

[Richard Rollins]

Oh, yeah. Number four, 10. Pearl Jam. That was a huge album.

[Gigi Drummond]

Of course. That really was big.

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah. Three. You mentioned this. The doors. That was a huge one.

[Gigi Drummond]

Okay.

[Richard Rollins]

Two. Led Zeppelin. 69.

[Gigi Drummond]

Led Zeppelin. One.

[Richard Rollins]

Yeah.

[Gigi Drummond]

All right.

[Richard Rollins]

And number one, Jamie Hendrix. Are you experienced?

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah. With a Bob Dylan song. And we're coming back with more amazing artistry. Our man John Clay Wolf is downtown the W6 Saloon. We will link up and be back with more of the John Clay Wolf show right after this. Don't you dare go away Way out.

[J.D. Ryan]

Of here say the joker to the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thief.

[Gigi Drummond]

There'S too much confusion.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can't get no relief from the Wolf Radio Studios. It's time for the John Clay Wolf Show. Call John toll free. Cheap bastards. 1, 800, 800 radio. 800, 800 radio now. John Clay. Got it. We made it. It's working. Switch locations. I'm in a bar and Joe Exotic's in prison. Joe Exotic, you there? Yeah. What are you doing? Oh, I'm just doing my show. And we were doing a car show down here in Walnut Springs today. The rain is slowing things down. It's not even raining. But it's scared a lot of people off. And I'm telling them for worse it's not down here. But they're acting like it is. They need to come on down and do it for Jesus, because it's Easter weekend. Jesus. Do it for Jesus. Joe, what happened in prison this week? Oh, my God, man. We've been locked down for over a week because three fools Decided to crawl out the window in the middle of the night like they tried to escape. No, they just. They're just crawling out the window to get in the yard to pick up the packages that either came in by drone or over the fence. Meds? Oh, pickups are drugged. Oh, yeah. So now what kind of drugs now we gotta shoot, man, Most. Mostly they bring in meth and marijuana. Yeah, I mean, you. You used to do meth, you said? A long time ago. A little bit. Not as bad as what I accused you of. But I mean, if you're sitting in prison for seven years, why in like some meth comes in over the fence, why not do it? What else you get to do? You know what, the last place that you want to do methods in a male prison, I would think. Oh, that's a good point. But you're a homosexual, so it works out. Yeah, I'm still out on that. I'm not. I'm not going down that road. Well, any news on your release? No, we're. The lawyers are expecting this appeal to return any day. Any day. What about your Mexican fiance that they were trying to deport? He goes on the 16th of next month. So he's leaving? He's leaving. Are you shopping for a new boyfriend? No. No, I'm. I'm done with that too. You're done with boyfriends? Yeah, I'm done. I'm done with it all. So you're quitting meth? You quit meth and you're quitting being gay? You know what? Prison will change you. Wow. I think that I had something to do with this. I have gotten you turned straight a little bit. All this therapy with me on Saturdays, you know. You know, maybe John's right. Maybe I do need a piece of female tail. All right, now we're talking. Now you can stay at our house instead of down. I was going to keep you in the other room. Room in the other building now that. Now that we got Dr. Oz torn in on the Trump administration, maybe I'll have some luck there because Dr. Oz did a show on me when I first got arrested and. And he's a big supporter. So I'm getting more and more ears up there at the White House. Do you really think that you're double your second guessing your homosexuality? No. No. Okay. We don't take it too far.

[Gigi Drummond]

This call is from a federal prison.

[John Clay Wolf]

Second guess in life at this point. Well, don't kill yourself. It's Easter. You're not going to come back from the dead. I promise you that. Was Jesus, not Joe exotic?

[Pre K]

Hey, did you guys hear about this Nevada guy who was arrested for illegally owning seven tigers on his property? Joe, his name is Carl Mitchell.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but you know the crazy part is, is I don't know why everybody's got to use my name to get attention because not one of tigers came for me.

[Pre K]

We have some audio areas talking to his neighbors about his tigers, as well as the deputy sheriff Here at cut.

[John Clay Wolf]

14, their machine guns and their Bearcat.

[J.D. Ryan]

And ram like a.

[John Clay Wolf]

None of that was necessary.

[Gigi Drummond]

We have received information that he has been seen walking the tigers loose around the property, off the property in the desert. There have been social media posts from him with people interacting with the cats.

[John Clay Wolf]

Which is also in violation. My tigers are my emotional support animals. I rescued those tigers from Joe Exotic the tiger. Whoa.

[Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, he didn't.

[Pre K]

So that didn't happen.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, he didn't get. He didn't get one of them for me. But you know, the funniest thing about that whole story is those are emotional support tigers. Carol. Carol Baskin had an emotional support tiger. She couldn't deal with her husband, so the tiger dealt with it.

[Gigi Drummond]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you believe that she, she fed him to the tigers for real? I do. Absolutely, Full, full heartedly. I, I would. I would guarantee my release on that. Oh, okay. Wow. Pretty strong. So the guy just went missing and never came up. All right, well, call us next week, boss man. I got to keep cruising. All right, buddy. Y'all have a happy adventure. All right. You too, exotic.

[Gigi Drummond]

Mr. Tiger Man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Joe Exotic. Joe Exotic. The rain. I just made the drive from the studio to town. There's no rain. There's no rain. It's cloudy. It rained this morning at 6:00. It is not raining now. And I see people sitting up for the car show, but not as much as we did last time. So we will see you got there. Guys, if you're holding back, come on, because it's fine. There's about. I think we had 150 pre reg and I see about 30 out there and I know they're just scared of the rain, but I believe it's going to break. It's gonna be a good day. J.D. oh, I didn't bring my run sheet with me. Whoops.

[Richard Rollins]

That's okay. You got there fast. So how fast did you go that you can.

[John Clay Wolf]

75. 75. Now that car is crazy fast. I kept losing it. I had to get out of it. I mean, it's 427HEMI. Is it a 426HEMI. I forget which one it is. Yeah, that car is incredible. But it has shaved door handles on it. I didn't have the clicker, so I couldn't get in. And that's another really good reason not to shave the door. Hand handles. There's just no reason to shave door handles. It's the dumbest idea you can ever come up with. JD what have you got? In the news, we have Katy Perry.

[Pre K]

Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos, fiance going to kind of outer space. It was an all female crew, if you want to call them a crew. By the way, there have been over 100 real female astronauts up today. So they really weren't the first females. Here's cut number one of them having some fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

1, 2, 3. Take your space.

[Gigi Drummond]

Suborbital.

[John Clay Wolf]

The moon, you guys, I will have to tell you. Look at the moon. That's amazing. Wow. Look at the blue line. Oh, my gosh.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's our pink moon. That's amazing.

[Pre K]

Oh, the photos up on photos up on our YouTube stream. And they also, they had some people that thought it was all, you know, fake because the capsule wasn't burned up. First of all, they didn't go to outer space. They went to kind of suborbital inner space. So there was no rear entry. That looks rear entry. There was no re entry burn. I know, right? So when. The funny part was when Jeff Bezos went to open the door and the door had already been opened. Did you see that video?

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pre K]

So he's like, I've got this big tool that'll open the door. But the door had already been opened.

[Richard Rollins]

How much did they pay to do this?

[Pre K]

Well, total about $168 million between all of them. So it's a vanity ride. It is a ride. Gayle King was upset because you wouldn't call it a ride if it was a male. Yeah, we would. In fact, we called it a ride when it was William Shatner. A few months ago, we did the same thing Alan Shepard did. No, you didn't. He was an actual astronaut. He went up 160 miles. You went up 60.

[Gigi Drummond]

And it hadn't been done at that time before by us.

[Richard Rollins]

Would anybody go and do this?

[Pre K]

I'd do it in a minute. Oh, heck, yeah. I'd go in this. I'd go on the space shuttle, though. I'm foolish.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, J.D. you know. Oh, go ahead.

[Pre K]

No, I'm done. Okay. Luke Bryant sure was glad his American Idol costar Katy Perry made it back safe. He told Jimmy Kimmel the other night that he couldn't take his eyes off the one hour broadcast. Cut number two.

[John Clay Wolf]

It wrote me in, because when you have a friend, I mean, let's face could blow up. It could. So I wanted it to not do that. And I was just hoping it got back safely. Yeah, sure.

[Gigi Drummond]

Would you have been more nervous if.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lionel was in the capsule or. Lionel's lived a full life. Okay. All right.

[Gigi Drummond]

I'm glad they're doing this again, though. We have a space force now in the military. Space exploration has done so much technologically for this country.

[Pre K]

And these are. These are fun. These are. These are. It's a show. These are rides. By the way, Gayle King was very upset because people called it a ride. She said we did the same thing as Alan Shepard. First of all, Nathan. Second of all, she was very upset. Cut 2.2.

[John Clay Wolf]

I really resent that people are calling it a ride. We duplicated the trajectory of Alan Shepard's flight back in the day. No, no one called that ride a ride. Sounds frivolous. It sounds insignificant. This was a bona fide flight. So, you know, I say, have you been to space? Have you seen what Blue Origin does to get these machines up, get them up and get them down with the.

[Pre K]

Precision that they do?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm sorry, there are haters. There's always going to be haters.

[Pre K]

And of course, there was also the Internet conspiracy nuts that came out saying it never did happen. Well, first of all, it did happen. It did go up, it did come back down, it did land. The ladies were on it, but Billy Zig doesn't think so. Cut number three.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that Jeff Bezos out there right by the capsule? Kind of hard to see.

[Richard Rollins]

That is correct. That is Jeff Bezos, or our founder.

[John Clay Wolf]

On the left, as well as Sarah Knights, our crew member seven.

[Gigi Drummond]

Okay, guys, did you see that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's go back and watch it one more time.

[Pre K]

Okay, now, I want you to watch the hatch door open from the inside.

[John Clay Wolf]

The lady runs over there real quick.

[Gigi Drummond]

Says, no, no, no, shuts the door back, tries to stand in front of it, and then actually she starts laughing about it, as you can see right here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because like I said, it's all staged.

[Pre K]

It has to be look like it's.

[Gigi Drummond]

Open from the outside.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we're now just awaiting the opening of the hatch so we can get some views from our six new astronauts.

[Gigi Drummond]

They wanted their photo opportunity.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hurry up, close the door.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah, Jeff, was Bezos opening the door.

[Pre K]

That's what they wanted over the big old wrench. And pretends to open the door. He didn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was for the show.

[Pre K]

That part was definitely a show.

[Gigi Drummond]

And make it fake, man.

[Pre K]

No, it's not fake. It went up. It came down.

[John Clay Wolf]

What, that doesn't make you guys angry? Why? What's the $168 million for a ride?

[Pre K]

Not my money.

[John Clay Wolf]

And a fake name of astronauts.

[Pre K]

It makes me mad. They want to call themselves astronauts because they're certainly. They're Astros, knots, Astro, idiots.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what they are. Coming up next is the lightning round where you call in with the cars. The number is 800-800-7234. I do have it set up where I can pick up the calls from this remote simulcast down here at the W6 Saloon in Walnut Springs, Texas, which I just transitioned to. If you call in now. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Give me a year. Make, model, miles, Average, rougher, Clean. I'll buy your car on the air on behalf of America's best car buyer. Give me the VIN. Give me the VIN. Give me THE VIN. Give me the VIn.com. rollins is on his way down here. I don't know exactly what time he's going to be here, but I'll find out during this break and I'm going to. We're going to come back. So call in right now during this music break. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Give the phone, screener, year, make, model, miles, average, rover clean. And I'll bid your car as soon as we come back. Be a quick two minute drill. Knock her out. My name is John Clay Wolf and I buy cars on the radio for givemethevin.com now it's time to leave the capsule. Now back to the John Clay Wolf.

[Richard Rollins]

Show presented by givemethevin.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hit him up right now. 1, 800, 800, radio. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf show. Mike, you're live. Yeah, the phone's not working.

[Richard Rollins]

Ah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why don't you tell everybody to come?

[Richard Rollins]

Come out to where?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, well, a lot of people that are listening to us right now can't come out to where we're at because we're nationally syndicated and they're probably sick of hearing about something they can't come do. But if you are in the Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Killeen, Austin area, we're doing a car show down here today. And for the next hour and a half, I'll be broadcasting live from Downtown Walnut Springs. Richard Rollins from Gas Monkey is coming to join me in just a minute. And we've done this crazy remote broadcast and setup. The guys have done a good job and nobody's heard bitch about one thing yet. Did you notice that?

[Richard Rollins]

It's early but yes, notice that the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Only thing I can bitch about right now is that the phone thing's not working. We didn't do the last transition. Right. But other than that. So this is working. This is good. We're also doing a bring a trailer auction at that ends at 2:00 Central and I'm going to live simulcast those six cars that were absolute selling and we have the third oldest Corvette in the world selling on that also. That is the only car that does have a reserve by the way. But the rest of them are. If you go to give me the VIN on bring a trailer you will see those cars and I'm going to do a lot live YouTube stream broadcasting the ending of that. It kind of be like red zone football. Those auctions light up in the last five minutes and it's, it could be pretty dramatic to watch the horse race. So other than that, I did buy an old hot rod draggy Camaro from a guy. It was so funny. J.D. you love this. You love it when I do this. And this fellow said hey, I'm trading this in on a Ferrari and I want you to deal with the used car man manager at the Ferrari store. So the used car manager calls me and I look at this car and he wants you know, 50 grand for. I'm like this is a 25000 rig dude. And. And he's like well I say in the pictures of this car in your garage behind it on the stackers you have all these great Corvettes and classics. Why don't you sell me one of those? I said no. And how did you get this car? And I made up this ridiculous story. I said this car looks like you loaned money to your brother in law that lives in a mobile home park and he built this car in a lean to off the side of his trailer and then his sister got back on meth and you divorced her. Because he did tell me he divorced his wife and then you wound up having to repo your brother in law's hot rod Camaro and now you're taking pictures of it in front of your good cars that you bought since you got rid of your ex old lady and you're trying to plug it off on me. And he said that story is so close to exactly correct. I'm gonna sell you this car for exactly what you offered.

[Pre K]

You kill me when you do that, man. How do you do that?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's. I don't know. You've been doing it for long enough. You do things long enough, it starts showing up. Okay, we'll be right back. My name is John Claywolf. We're gonna play his song. Come back in just a minute. GiveMeTheBend.com is where you sell your rigs this holiday Easter weekend. We will. That will be closing at 4:00, but we're gonna be here. We have Byers in town in Walnut Springs. We're doing a Pat Green concert. Richard Rollins from Gas Monkey's coming down down. We're going to do the car show awards at the Gas Monkey Outpost here in town. That's a temporary setup that we did. The. It's not raining. It's. It's drizzling. It's not raining. Get off your ass.

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash. John, you might find this one a bit surprising. This week's mail from jail entry reads, dear John, I'm a man locked in a cell for the majority of the day. Pain and suffering is all I know. But your show brings sunshine and rainbows into my life. Lol. No, for real, though. I'm tuning in every Saturday. I love smoking weed. You guys remind Me of my people in the old neighborhood I used to get high and BS with. That's all that's up. Shout out to my nine one niners out there in North Carolina. They know all about it. Hey, I've tried to smoke weed in prison, but the guards keep it locked down. And the ones that would let you smoke are so crooked. Forget about finding good stuff in here either. I did have a sale, mate one time said he had a stash and he'd smoke up with me when we got a chance. That time came around and I'm like, whatever, I'm down. This fool busted out a little sack full of brown weed and a joint. I'd seen brown dirt weed before, so I said, forget it, you only live once. And I hit. Didn't taste right, man. My boy Berto smoked some too. And it turned out this guy had snuggled that weed in through his crack stash. That's why he had these damp brown nugs, man. It was disgusting. So we kicked that guy's butt and everybody called him Dingleberry for the rest of the time he was locked up with us. Good times. I'll tell you, Nasty. Your friend, Jose Arrayes, Lake Correctional Institution, Claremont, Florida Partners. You got mail from jail, just send it on down the line to us here at P.O. box 471517. That is in Fort Worth, Texas. The zip code is 76147. Crack stash.

[John Clay Wolf]

Crack stash. Ew.

[Gigi Drummond]

That's what he said, Nasty. It's a damn old crack stash. That's how I did it. My, my.

[Pre K]

Thank you, Jim.

[Gigi Drummond]

I'm glad June Carter's not able to listen to this show.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's going on with the tariffs? Did anything change this week? He put them on a 90 day hold, but the 10% still in the cars is my understanding. The. The car market did. It kind of cooled off a little bit.

[Gigi Drummond]

There's some. There's some good negotiating going on. I understand Japan is at the table. Italy is in contact. Germany and England are still thinking about it. And it's, you know, I mean, something's going to happen. It's could. Can we say it's not as bad now as it was two weeks ago, though. That's a matter of degree. It's still. It's still pretty unstable even. But you know, because, I mean, like we started our 401k. Just started it this year with our company.

[Pre K]

Yes.

[Gigi Drummond]

And I'm I'm only. I'm only putting a certain percentage out, so. But I mean, I've lost like $8.

[Pre K]

Damn, dude.

[Gigi Drummond]

Through this deal, what are you gonna do? I ain't got a whole hell of a lot of money in there anyway. It's. I think it's. You know, I. I hate to be the guy to say it's gonna be all right, but I'm always the guy that says, you know, it's gonna be all right.

[J.D. Ryan]

J.D.

[John Clay Wolf]

You'Re rich. Do you have a 401K?

[Pre K]

I do not have a 401K. I. All my money's in an IRA.

[John Clay Wolf]

And how long did you start that?

[Pre K]

It's been 11. An IRA for 20 years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you lose a lot of money the other day when it slipped and did. How much. How much of it came back? Oh, no.

[Pre K]

Nope. Didn't lose much at all, huh? I don't stare at it every day either. But I mean, you know, it's for its long term money, money, that's the key.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm rich, you know. I met another guy, a friend of mine that. A friend of his left him 125000 car. Just left it to him. Just like your buddy that left you that big bag of money. How do you can you give advice to people on how to be good enough friend to get a large inheritance like that? It's just.

[Pre K]

No, it's not a matter of being somebody's friend.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, like when you started your friendship with him, did you know he had all this money, that he didn't have any kids and you were working the program because.

[Pre K]

He didn't have all this money when we were friends. Actually he inherited it from his mother now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Pre K]

I hope she die.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure. So you got his mother's money?

[Pre K]

I'd got his mother's money. Did you know her? Never. Never knew.

[John Clay Wolf]

So y'all weren't even good enough friends for you to know his mother? And you got all her money?

[Pre K]

I got all her money. And we had a family member passed this last year and I.

[John Clay Wolf]

But that was your dad's money. That's okay. That's your dad's money. In fact, you stole your friend's mother's money.

[Pre K]

I didn't steal anything. We were friends when he was broke. In fact, he had to live in my house for a while because he was so broke.

[John Clay Wolf]

So his back rent.

[Pre K]

Yeah, been a lot of back rent. He could have paid for the house, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

So who else got his mother's money?

[Pre K]

It went to about 20 different people including.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much money did his mother have? That's what I'm saying.

[Pre K]

How much she had a little over $5 million.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh. And how did she. Did she have an IRA?

[Pre K]

I have no clue.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you know how she gathered up $5 million? Did she get it from inheriting somebody else?

[Pre K]

Yes. She married an old rich guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you got his money?

[Pre K]

Technically, I got the old rich guy's money.

[John Clay Wolf]

And are his kids pissed at you?

[Pre K]

Probably not my problem.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did she get all of his money or did she get a portion of his.

[Pre K]

All of his money and a 9,000ft house in California.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then some rich guy dies. He lives it to.

[Pre K]

New guy. Yeah. New wife.

[John Clay Wolf]

Older, new wife dies, leaves it to your. A portion of it. Portion to your friend.

[Pre K]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or, wait, was he an only child? Child?

[Pre K]

He was not. He had a brother.

[John Clay Wolf]

So did they both get it? You're old rich guys money. Okay, so 50 to him. So what percentage of the old rich guy's money that worked its way down to the 50 of your friend did you get?

[Pre K]

Oh, my God. I have no idea what the math is like.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you see the whole estate? You notice I hadn't said his name? So. So we're just talking. Yeah, I'm not going to. I'm trying to get you to talk honestly.

[Pre K]

I know, I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so. So. So you got. So half of that rich guy's estate winds up in your buddy's lap that's sleeping on your couch.

[Pre K]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then that was. He dies.

[Pre K]

Five million.

[John Clay Wolf]

He dies. So your guy wound up at five million.

[J.D. Ryan]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

Or your guy wound up with two and a half million.

[Pre K]

Two and a half million.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And then he gives. Now I see why he gave you 250. Hell, that was just a bar tab. I mean, I was like, I like JD. He's good to me. Give him 250, he gave other people. So he gave us about the city.

[Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And have y'all like, had a party, like the. The lotto winner?

[Pre K]

No, we don't know each other. No, just. We don't know each other.

[John Clay Wolf]

And did you put all that money in an ira? Yes. Like a responsible young man.

[Pre K]

Yes, I put it all in the IRA.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that was seven years ago.

[Pre K]

If memory serves, it'll be 10 years this year.

[John Clay Wolf]

And how much is that money grown in 10 years?

[Pre K]

It's grown quite a bit. I don't have a dollar and cent amount, but it's.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's like percentage wise. Have you ever looked at it?

[Pre K]

Yeah, it's gone up about 30%.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really?

[Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You are rich. Yay. JD's rich. God, that's awesome.

[Pre K]

Well, I ain't going to buy.

[Gigi Drummond]

Why we.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hey.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey. Okay, so. So why were you busting my balls?

[Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

About paying for your lunch at the Bosky Cantina.

[Pre K]

Oh, my God, dude, I wasn't busting your balls.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, you were. Yeah, you were. Dip ball busting.

[Pre K]

First of all, when I went there, I paid for my lunch.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, you never would go because.

[Pre K]

No, when I finally went, I paid for my lunch. In fact, I took a video of me paying for my lunch.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're that tight.

[Pre K]

I just wanted you to see it. If you want to give me crap over it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then you've got all this money and your kid went hardcore left, and you're keeping it and giving it all to them instead of the Democrats.

[Pre K]

I'm going to spend every damn penny of it on myself. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you going to spend it on?

[Pre K]

Trips and travel when I finally retire?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Pre K]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And. And now we're getting down to the real, real, real point of this whole conversation.

[Pre K]

Here we go.

[John Clay Wolf]

I have a feeling we're going to get a notice from you pretty soon.

[Pre K]

No. Why would you say that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because you're rich and you're realizing that you have all this money and you want to go have fun.

[Pre K]

This is fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not saying this is not fun.

[Pre K]

Am I getting fired?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, you're not getting. How can you fire a rich guy? You might pay for some. Something John's.

[Richard Rollins]

John's just trying to get prepared for you to leave.

[Pre K]

I'm not leaving.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I'm not. So when. When are you going to retire? You've been. You've been thinking about it.

[Pre K]

Dude, I have not. I swear to God. I swear. I swear to Jesus Christ, on Easter weekend, I have not thought about retiring. That's really not on my. Not on my board.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you gonna get real hard to deal with and be like, hey, I'm gonna take two weeks off, Dude, I've.

[Pre K]

Had money for years. No, I'm not hard to deal with.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait a minute. No, you're very easy to deal with, but I think it's going to change because you're being really like, I'm watching you. You got your fancy shirt, your fancy glasses. You're. You're controlling people with your money now. What are you talking about? You're, you know, the other one, the kid. You're like, hey, if you're not going to see it my way, you're out.

[Pre K]

Well, that's true. He's out. I'm spending it all on me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you. Do you think we have a solid year with you, like, left at least.

[Pre K]

5, 10 if you want it.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Pre K]

I mean, if you want it. I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know what I want. I, I just want to have fun today and do, do what we're doing. I just didn't know. I'm just planning for the future.

I think. I think. I think it's time to bring it back. Oh, hey, terleum. Rollin. I don't want to talk about this on the air. I probably can't. But I will say that I'm glad that dennis broke our undercover Ferrari 6x6. I didn't know we were doing that.

[J.D. Ryan]

I didn't know either.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, we've kept this thing under wraps. And then dennis rolls it out. Yeah, that damn dennis.

[J.D. Ryan]

He just does what he wants to do. And he says, hey, do we gotta hide this? And I said, you don't necessarily have to hide it. I'm not worried about it. And then the next thing I know, his entire episode Is about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

The 6x6 Ferrari that Richard and I partnered with, it, we. I don't know how to say it, but anyway, we own it.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's a french connection.

[John Clay Wolf]

The french connection. That could be the name of the car.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

But it is italian. And we're gonna. We're going to finish it for sema, and then we're gonna sell it at barrett next january. When are we gonna start on that car?

[J.D. Ryan]

We've arranged everything. We've gotten the car running, Driving like it's supposed to. I'm gonna put it through some pretty rigorous tests probably in the next week or two. And then we will tear it apart and make it into the car that you and I had envisioned in the first place. Because right now, it's not quite that cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure, but you have this chevelle you have to build for system x. Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

But I don't build my sema cars until around the end of september. We only take 30 to 40 days.

[John Clay Wolf]

To build a SEMA car, Mr. Fancy.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, you know, it's just. I got a great crew. I got a good work ethic there at the shop. And so we like to just. Just get in it and finish it. You know, there's sema cars that show up, and they're like, yeah, it looks pretty cool, but never finished. Didn't you start that in 2007? You know, it's like, we really do take. I take pride in my team that's able to build a car in 30, 40 days, start to finish, to the level of being at sema. That's Pretty.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is the trick of doing it in that time frame for us?

[J.D. Ryan]

We build it three times. Basically, we. We plan the car on paper. We write down everything we need, everything we want. You know, the sky's the limit. And if it works financially and mathematically, then I go find the actual donor car, the starting car in this case, it's a 70 Chevelle. And we buy that, and then we look it over and reapply to the list, anything that we might have missed.

[John Clay Wolf]

You start with a blueprint without even a car or a pad size, Correct? Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. And then we check the car and maybe we need a lower door panel or we need this or that because the donor car doesn't have it. Then we build it the on the shelf. We order every single thing. So now we built it on paper, then we built it on the shelf, and we've opened every box. We make sure that every single part is there. It's correct. It hasn't been chified.

[John Clay Wolf]

And all the Legos are in the box, and you've gone through the LEGO inventory and you're ready to do it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

Then we touch the car. The second we touch the car, we do not touch anything else until it's done.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why don't other people follow that method? Sounds pretty simple.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, I can't speak for other people, but I know that it works for us.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did somebody teach that to you?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it's just the way that my dad taught me. He's like, son, you pick up a hammer, you finish the job right, you know, you do it. And that was just the way my dad always told me. Get it done, start to finish.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're talking about Gas Monkey Garage, the dude from Fast and Loud. If y'all are unfamiliar.

[J.D. Ryan]

I hate that guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why?

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm just kidding. He's pretty awesome.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was looking at these cars in Midland the other day, and this old guy, I brought your name up and he started bitching about you, and it kind of screwed up my buy. It was weird.

[J.D. Ryan]

I would never bring Richard or Gas Monkey into a car deal if I was you. It's only going to go one of two ways.

[John Clay Wolf]

Real good or real bad.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, middle ground.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was. It was quite. I haven't been put together like that. So the old man selling his cars, he's got 80 great cars and at his ranch, but then he's got his broker sitting there that he has to pay, that you have to pay. So you make a deal with him, and then you've got to go to the broker and Check out. And he's 10%. It was ridiculous.

[J.D. Ryan]

I heard your story while I was driving up here on for two hours from Dallas, and. But that was. I stopped at a couple of places I might have had a bloody Mary and a beer and a water burger. But, you know, at the end of the day, some of the. Some of the old codgers out there, they think their stuff's still worth gold and. And the market's changing a little bit on some of this old stuff, and not as many of the young.

[John Clay Wolf]

He had a copo, and I recently sold a copo. I'm on bring a trailer a week ago. I had a great one with zero miles on it. And he had a co found. I'm like, how much is that? He's like 120. And this is like the third car. And I showed him the one I just sold for 61,000. And that was really when it got bad, because that was like validation. You're full of ass. You're crazy. I didn't say it. I didn't have to. Here's one I just sold, sir, for 61. I said, I guess I should have called you on it. Yeah, you should have called me. I should have been the buyer on that one. You don't know what you're doing. You let these cars go too cheap. Like, okay, I'm gonna leave. But what. What area of the country have you. Did you work California much?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, I. I have a severe distaste for California.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why?

[J.D. Ryan]

Just the. The politics, the things that we. We've got Agent Hans over here. He's already flipping me off because that's how the Californians do it, right? But now I just. California is very difficult to deal with. The title work, the paperwork, the back taxes, the.

[John Clay Wolf]

The.

[J.D. Ryan]

Was working, but doesn't work anymore in operation. Blah, blah, crap.

[John Clay Wolf]

The big nests of cars are in. In SoCal, Texas and Florida and up in the. In the east coast, you know, the. The rich guys. But. But the big groups. It just seems like those are the.

[J.D. Ryan]

Three zones where I really see. I like the middle. I like Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas has a lot of cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that my cue that we got to go?

[J.D. Ryan]

Hey, are we queuing?

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, we'll be back in just a minute. My name is John Clay Wolf. I got Richard Rollins with me here from Gas Monkey TV. If you're familiar with him, go to his YouTube channel, Fast and Loud. Quit on discovery a while back, but they started back up on YouTube and there's higher production value. It's a great Thing. It's weird that a lot of your fans don't know you're on YouTube.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it is. It's hard to get them to understand that we're there because, you know, our new motto is F. Disco. We'll be right back.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Gigi Drummond]

The radio is gonna buy me lunch and put me on a Greyhound back to.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know if the train still comes through here. That'd be cool to put your ass on a train, but. Yeah, just let them know. But if the car. It's got to have a clean carfax, right?

[Gigi Drummond]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's good.

[Gigi Drummond]

Pristine.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm down. Thanks, Danny. See y'all. We gotta get a break. All right, we'll be right back. Go to. Give me the vin.com if you want to sell yours. Yep. Give me the vin dot com. America's best car buyer. The John Clay Wolf Show. Oh, well, he's very popular.

[Pre K]

The Sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dweebies, dickheads, they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude. John Clay Wolf. When I grew up, not everybody was homeless.

[Gigi Drummond]

Everyone's homeless now.

[John Clay Wolf]

People are like, what's the solution? I'm like, oh, I don't even know.

[J.D. Ryan]

What the problem is.

[John Clay Wolf]

LA's got a whole area of the city called skid row.

[J.D. Ryan]

The LA City Council has given up.

[John Clay Wolf]

They considered giving you a tax credit.

[J.D. Ryan]

If you opened your house to a homeless person.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are we even talking about?

[J.D. Ryan]

You hate taxes, right?

[Gigi Drummond]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, meet your son.

[Gigi Drummond]

He's 38 years old.

[John Clay Wolf]

He loves fentanyl. To the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethe.vin.com call in 800. 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf Show. He loves fentanyl. Is that what he said? Yeah.

[Gigi Drummond]

Hug your boy.

[Richard Rollins]

He smells.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. The car. The cars are showing up. Hey, California, I know you're sick of hearing about an event today that is 2,000 miles away from you. I promise we are going to do this in la. I was actually with Corolla the other day and we're driving around looking for the spot to do. We're gonna do a car show in la. We're gonna do one at sema. And in Alabama, Tusca. Yeah, Tuscaloosa. We've got one in September. Don't know the exact date. Maybe it's in June and Jay Leno is going to join us on that one. But today it is Walnut Springs, Texas, the Walnut Springs Classic. I've got Richard Rollins from Gas Monkey sitting here with me. And the cars are starting to show up. I'm drinking a Bloody Mary from the Bosque Cantina. Bloody Mary's over across the street at the Rattlesnake are going. The bars open, life is good, the rain is quit. Get your ass in the car. Enjoy your Easter weekend, Richard. Rollins, are you gonna buy some cars today?

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm gonna try. I tried my hardest last time and I got real close on a 68 Impala convertible. I'd like to make another run at that this year.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's here. I know her real well. Julie. She's our manager at the cantina, actually.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, okay. Well, that's why she's holding out. You've already told her that I'll pay more.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I didn't. I told her you gave plenty, you gave more than me. And we should do that. When people are here, they want to sell their car. You bid, I'll bid. I'll beat your ass. You can beat my ass. We'll see. Somebody will be right, somebody be wrong.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, okay. I brought a stack of money.

[Gigi Drummond]

I'm good to go.

[John Clay Wolf]

See, you pay cash, I pay check. So you might get a better deal.

[J.D. Ryan]

Cash in the hand. An old man told me when I got into this business, he goes, son, you could buy a $10,000 car every day for five grand if you got it in your pocket. Well, I said, how do I get a car in my pocket?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, your gas monkey buys thing. Gas monkey buys.com is working pretty good.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, I'm beating you right now on that ten thousand dollar bet, buddy. I mean, I am. I'm ripping it. We have like 500 and something cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Backlog right now on the.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. So we're getting to you. If we haven't gotten back to you@gas monkeybuys.com and just wait.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm. I know you're beating me and I'm gonna pay you 10,000, but I might charge you some rent for the locations of mine that you're using all over the country to drop these off at. It does help.

[J.D. Ryan]

It does help.

[John Clay Wolf]

It does help.

[J.D. Ryan]

It does help.

[John Clay Wolf]

And so do you just wire the money to them when you do that and they just drop it off at one of the. Cause you're in Dallas, but a lot of them are local drops for those California deals you're having to use my location. And you and I hadn't talked about a fee on that.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, we haven't talked about. And then there's not going to be a fee until we do talk about it, so just let's move on. But no, you know, it's, it's working out pretty good. We're, we're having some fun. I think we've netted about what, 50, 60 cars so far or something like that. And I'm not, I'M not in that John Clay money yet. I don't have private jets and airports and stuff, but I'm getting there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Airports. Well, you know, it's good to have somebody look up to.

[Gigi Drummond]

It is.

[J.D. Ryan]

And I've got aspirations. My airplane is going to have a stand up bathroom in the back.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. Speaking of aspirations, you had partners on your old Gas Monkey Live deal.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, Gas Monkey Bar screwed up. It did.

[John Clay Wolf]

Y'all stopped it. You had one in Key West, Galveston.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, we were in Key West, Harker, High Heights, Dallas, two locations and. And that was about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

This new one looks good. And this is you. You're doing this one.

[J.D. Ryan]

It is.

[John Clay Wolf]

You've got an operator, a restaurant operator working with you. But this is yours, this is mine.

[J.D. Ryan]

I. I learned my lesson on partnerships when I got into business with Discovery and there's a Pilgrim and then there was the guy that was in the restaurants with me. So I'm trying to keep the partners to a minimum.

[John Clay Wolf]

Little louder. So when is this new one open and where is it?

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, Gas Monkey Ice House. We're going in at Grandscape up in the Colony. If people don't know what that is. It's big Warren Buffett backed division that's got the largest furniture store in America and the largest sporting.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's up by Nebraska furniture market. Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

And Shields. And there's a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

It looks like the Alamo.

[J.D. Ryan]

It does.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean it looks a lot like.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, the whole back facade is the Alamo.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, that's.

[J.D. Ryan]

So it's what screams Texas more than the Alamo?

[John Clay Wolf]

Nothing.

[J.D. Ryan]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

When do you open?

[J.D. Ryan]

We're going to be soft opening in about the next 10 or 12 days and then we'll be. God, I. I want to laugh at you coughing on yourself.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sorry about that.

[J.D. Ryan]

But it will. Grand opening will be in the middle of May, sometime right after Cinco de Mayo. And I want to compete with that while I'm trying to get all the training it's done and the staff done and all that.

[John Clay Wolf]

That. When do you have to open Sturgis back up or. It's open.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sturgis is open.

[John Clay Wolf]

When does it really. When does Sturgis start kicking off?

[J.D. Ryan]

Right about now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. People start traveling, they're camping, they're going through the Black Hills, you know, they're checking out everything. And so we're going to run pretty stout all the way up to the Black Hills rally, the Harley rally. This year's the 85th anniversary, so 85 years they've been doing it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we actually got you at this car show in Walnut Springs today. There's a building that used to be a bar and we recreated it as Gas Monkey Outpost. And that's what we're gonna give the car show awards away to today. About five or something. And speaking of, I just had a brain fart. Tom Smith, Fat man. He's supposed to be here. What are the odds on that? Because I haven't touched him since he said yes.

[J.D. Ryan]

You touched on Smith in the first place.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I haven't touched on him. And I, you know, he's not the most reliable cat in the world.

[J.D. Ryan]

Absolutely not. I mean, the odds of him showing up, probably I'd go straight 50. 50. Because he's, he's an odd cat. If I, if we needed him to show up 100% he won't. But he's just invited. He might show.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I'm gonna bet a hundred that he. I'll let you do it. You're the guest. You want to go the, the up the over the under on the show.

[J.D. Ryan]

I see he shows up.

[John Clay Wolf]

You got 100 he's going to show. I got 100. You won't.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, he's a. He's a full on prostitute for a team. Attention.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

He'll be here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you talked to him? Nope.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't even know his number. I try not to talk to him. He shows up in my shop every once in a while and it's just, it's an interesting experience when Tom shows.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we made awards. Three awards. One for best of show. I mean, there's the standard award package and the real judges are going to do their deal. But then I had the guys make three awards out of engine parts. And one for you to give away as your best of show. One for me to give away as my bestest show and one for Tom to give away as his bestest show. Now the really good one has a timing chain in it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And a crank. And they made that for me to give away. It is way better than this, than the other ones.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's cool with me.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I just didn't want you to get your feelings hurt that I had the better trophy to give away than you.

[J.D. Ryan]

Because mine's better because I taped a couple hundred dollar bills under it.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I'm probably going to give it to you because you're our guest of honor here today.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't even.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're not. You don't need. You don't get a trophy. I'm not giving you a trophy. I'M giving you a trophy to give away.

[J.D. Ryan]

My trophy's at home. She didn't come today.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right? Mine's at the house.

[J.D. Ryan]

I know she's not. She's right there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, there's my trophy. Hey, man. Hey, Ms. Dayton, Ms. Denmark, everybody. All right, Mike, is that our cue? Do I hear background music? All right. We'll be right back. My name is john clay wolf. Buy cars on the radio for america's best car buyer. Give me the vi.com we're live from the walnut springs classic car show here this Saturday, the day before easter. Pat green is playing tonight. But that show is completely sold out. He played last night. That was awesome as well. So. But there's the. The streets are full. They're filling up right now. The bars are filling up. It's a great time. Time. The weather's broken. Get your ass down here and do it for jesus. Be right back. Yo. We're back to the john clay wolf show presented by givemethevin.com taking over your radio every Saturday morning. Hit him up. 800-800-READIO. The John Clay broadcasting live here from the walnut classic car show. I've got gas, monkeys. Richard rollins here with me, myself. The town is starting to fill up. The drinks are starting to flow. The cars are coming in. I told you guys the weather wasn't going to keep us down. And it's not. It's doing just fine. It's actually turning out to be a pretty day so far. Okay, I want to talk about this ferrari just a little bit more. So we started building this 6x Ferrari. The guys that were building it for us didn't keep it in check the way we wanted it. We actually bought them out of our deal.

[J.D. Ryan]

Correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you and I have it back. And we are going to finish it. And we're going to. We sold the hummer. It broke the record with this hummer at barrett jackson. A year I'll be a year and a half ago now. Yeah, but we bought that car from them. They built it. You could not. I did not. And then part of that deal is we had another car that you had the vision for because you bought those testarossas over in ireland.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, I already wanted to build a six wheel ferrari. And so part of our deal when we bought the hummer was if it does good, we'll finance the next one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

And then the deal just kind of fell apart. I mean, they did get it together and it is kind of there and everything like that. But it's not what I Had envisioned. It's not what you and I agreed that we wanted did. And so it's at the shop. It does run and drive now like it's supposed to. I've gone through it mechanically and now we're fixing to tear it apart and make it into what you and I wanted it to be.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you know whose booth is going to be in at sema?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. I've partnered with system X. Their ceramic coating and all kinds of different coatings. They do stuff for like NASA and, and, and Elon Musk company and stuff. They wax like space shuttles and stuff. It's weird.

[John Clay Wolf]

So how many horsepower is this thing gonna have?

[J.D. Ryan]

Probably around 14, 1500 horsepower. But the trick is is that when you see these six wheel cars and trucks out there, Usually they're just dragging a leg. One set of axle works, the other set just rolls.

[John Clay Wolf]

Tagax.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. It's just tagging along. And this one we've got two axles under power tied together under power. So we could do a wicked, wicked four wheel burnout in the back.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you think? When will the car be ready?

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm going to unveil it. Or we are, if you will, at sema this year in November.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm going to kind of keep it under wraps. Even though we did get thrown A little bit of a boomerang yesterday. But you know, it's. It's not going to look anything like the spy shots that have been seen. It's. It's going to be completely different.

[John Clay Wolf]

Different. What's the build that y'all have right now that you just put on your YouTube channel?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, that's a brand new 2025 short bed single cab 4x4 work truck from Ford. But it comes with a coyote. So we put a 3 liter supercharger on it and big wilwood brakes and ride tech suspension and magnaflow exhaust and just all kinds of stuff. And we're pushing about 800, 810 horsepower. Gonna be getting real close to his 10 second quarter mile.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what was surprising? I'm not trying to build you up as a good guy, but this was a good guy move is you sold these cars at Barrett, these trucks. January. And one of the guys that bought MF79.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Contacted you and said I didn't like, you know, I've got the door is not closing right in the clutch. Something's wrong with it. And you said send it to me. I'll fix it.

[Gigi Drummond]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

As is sold.

[J.D. Ryan]

Done.

[John Clay Wolf]

You got none of the buyers premium. You got you Paid them your full fee. You owed this guy nothing. And you said, send it to me because I saw the truck at your shop. Like, what's it doing back? So we're doing some. After some policy work, warranty work. Well, but the interesting thing here was the good guy part as you started looking at it. And the wheel wells were caked with.

[J.D. Ryan]

Rubber and the clutch was ripped, burned when we got it out of there, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

And he said it was for his wife, and it was his wife that was driving it. You saw. Well, your wife must be a hell of a lead foot, because then you should send him the video. Video. But you still said, I'm gonna fix this for you.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, I don't mind. It's kind of self preservation.

[John Clay Wolf]

But he burned it up and he sent it back to you.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't know if he did or somebody. Barrett did. You know, it's not like that. And he's a great guy, and his wife sent me a thank you note, you know, but my deal is especially on that first part of the end of the transaction, you know, hey, I want a couple of things adjusted. I'd rather it come back to me and get adjusted than them take it to, you know, Max's Auto down the street. And that guy say, oh, Richard sucks, and his people suck. And they didn't put this doodad in here and all this. And it's like, if you let anybody else touch the truck, you own it. If you want to send it to me, I'll fix it for you, you know, because.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because there is a reputation among people that don't know better that y'all build. I almost said a bad word. Bad builds, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

And people tell them to come to Walnut Springs right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

I understand, but here's what I have to explain. Explain to them. You guys were doing builds for fast allowed in five minutes. The production company was controlling most of it. The quality of it was not up to spec. It's not what you're doing now. Those TV builds were not SEMA builds.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, they're not SEMA builds like we do now. No, those were TV builds. They were things in, like, 20 days.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

You know, and. And. And they were still great cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

They just weren't. They were $300,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that. There's a. There is a difference. And you've taught me a lot about the differences, and I'm enjoying. God, did you see that damn Challenger down there when you pulled up?

[J.D. Ryan]

I didn't see it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's pretty. It's. It's a Good example. We'll look in a minute. It's a. It's a Resto MOD 70 challenger, but.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, it's got the. The modern dash in it and stuff.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but. But they did carbon fiber on the dash. They did a carbon fiber spoiler. It looks ghetto. It's a ghetto build. And they shave the door handles. And you do, you do. I hate shave door handles.

[J.D. Ryan]

I hate door poppers. I didn't like it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just absolutely hate them.

[J.D. Ryan]

There's a door handle for a reason.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. But when they over carbon fiber arresto mod car. It just looks like they're trying to be a Porsche and they're not. And I don't like it, man.

[J.D. Ryan]

We're not into all that kind of stuff. You know, the stuff we build now is just amazing. We're fixing to build this 70 chevelle for system X also. And it is unbelievable. The parts are starting to show up. It's really amazing.

[John Clay Wolf]

What will they do with that car when they're done?

[J.D. Ryan]

I think they want me to. I think they want to show it off and then possibly take it to Barrett in January.

[John Clay Wolf]

The reason I keep asking you about this Testarossa that we're doing is I just wanted to make sure that the baby's not going to land back on my lap.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, it ain't. If you don't. If you don't. If you don't want it, I'll buy you out of it right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

God. Leave. That's just.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't mind.

[John Clay Wolf]

You sound like that little old man out in Midland. Oh, if you don't like it, just leave.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, I heard that story.

[John Clay Wolf]

For me.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, the Midland guys are pretty rough. I've been down that road before, too. So the. About the third time I went to see this guy in Midland to buy a bunch of 32s, I showed up with three trucks, trailers ready to go and everything. And I said, call mama. Mama's what he called his wife, right? So he called mom up there. She lived up the road in the house. Comes down there, and I threw down the. The. The duffel bag full of money. And I said, here's his list. Here's what he said he wanted for all of them. And here's the cash. This is my fourth trip out here. I'm leaving with those cars. She goes, you sure are, and I'm gonna help you push them. That old lady was out there pushing cars with us. She goes, you're taking them? Oh, I got them all. This is about 15, 20 years ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did he have to die for this to happen.

[Gigi Drummond]

Nope.

[J.D. Ryan]

He was standing there and he was pissed off as hell, really. But his excuse, the three times I went down before were always, well, let.

[John Clay Wolf]

Me talk to mama.

[J.D. Ryan]

We'll figure it out. You know, because he didn't want to sell them.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

So I came with the goods and I got the cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's amazing when people go to give me the VIN or they go to gas monkey buys and they want to go sell their car, and they. You start making a deal with them and they start pulling back like they don't want to sell it. I mean, what the hell made them go to the website to initiate it?

[J.D. Ryan]

Everybody thinks they're getting, you know, oh, I'm leaving money on the table or I'm not, and you're not. I mean, when, you know, like you, you say, go to Carmax, go to AutoNation, go to whatever. I'll pay you 100 bucks if I can't beat the deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right? You know, hey, we've had to pull back on that CarMax thing because the fraud they've. You. Can I show you a website where they're literally making CarMax appraisals that are flawless, perfect, digitally knockoff, and you can't. You can't figure out what's real, what's not.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, really? I didn't know that.

[John Clay Wolf]

So they're showing up with these crazy CarMax appraisals that aren't real. Yeah. Everybody's got a hustle, Everybody's got a game.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't know why it's so easy if you just play it fair and straight.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's the worst car deal you've ever got hung up in? Like where a title was fraud or engine stamp was fraud or you got an unsellable car. Can you remember one?

[J.D. Ryan]

Not really. I. I've been. Because I only deal with the old stuff. It's pretty easy to get around that kind of thing, right? You know, with you dealing with the new stuff and the big time exotics and everything, you can run into some stuff. But when you're buying, you know, 52 Chevrolets, do you remember when I was.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sitting at your office filming that real saying, I'm gonna get your ass. I'm gonna find you. The guy that ripped me off for 40 grand, we arrested him yesterday. Straight up.

[J.D. Ryan]

Can we go visit him? Yes, let's go visit him.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really? He came back to the well for another hit with a fraud car, a stolen car that he'd done fraud title work and VIN stamping on. And we're like, great. And we took the car, gave him a check, canceled the check when he called because the cops wouldn't. They weren't. They worked with us, but they weren't working with us as fast. And we needed to work with us. So then the bad check. We're like, hopefully when he gets a bad check, he'll call and say, hey, this check didn't clear. Hey, we'll get your replacement check right now. And that's what we did. And yesterday in Anaheim, California, he showed up, sat down in our office. Office. And got his ass cuffed and stuffed. And they got him on three felony. And we've. We've got video of it.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's freaking great.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's really good.

[J.D. Ryan]

I do like that. Because, you know, criminals are an amazing breed of people because if they put that much effort into making legitimate money, they'd be rich, right? They put it into making money. Can I say that's money. And, you know, it just happened. Happens.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's our time, Mike?

[Richard Rollins]
