That is daughter's wedding. Sending pictures, making me jealous. It's beautiful. Where in Florida they are just outside Hollywood on the Atlantic. Margaritavilles are staying at the Margaritaville Hotel. Bob is in room 504.

[Amir]

You know, a lot.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, just in case you wanted to call him. It's early, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

We should.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's the Margaritaville Hotel.

[John Clay Wolf]

So his daughter's getting married. How old is she?

[J.D. Ryan]

She got married yesterday.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gosh.

[J.D. Ryan]

How old is she?

[John Clay Wolf]

I have no idea. This is Brie. This is the one that used to work for us, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

Correct, yes. Bri. Beautiful Brie.

[John Clay Wolf]

The social media girl.

[J.D. Ryan]

She is, yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Came from his first marriage. No. Second marriage. No. Third marriage. Second, was it?

[J.D. Ryan]

Second, I believe. Second.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, he. He was married to that stripper girl that didn't last long out of Oklahoma, do you remember? And he had to. It took a while to get that annulled.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, they.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think. I think they. They'd be staying together for about three weeks and then she hooked him.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's the Red River. That's about the story.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then he met. He married this girl's mother. And this girl was just an infant. He took on two babies.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he raised him.

[J.D. Ryan]

He raised this. This young lady. She's beautiful. Her pictures look like something out of a magazine. This is so pretty.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then that lady got angry and didn't want to live with him anymore.

[J.D. Ryan]

They all do eventually, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, I'm not saying that. Negative.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, I'm saying. Anyway, it's just all of us.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was around for that One. I remember her. Yeah, she was a fire plug. She had a lot of spice in her.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now the other boy, his son. Is that with the first. This Bree's mother? Might have been the third marriage. I thought it was two, but no, because Will. Okay. And then Whitney was from the first marriage and that's there. And then. I'm getting confused.

[J.D. Ryan]

You've lost me. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Will. Will babble. Pick up somebody in Florida, though. I mean, you know, people are looking for their cards and. And then he moved that girl down to Fort Worth about 10 years ago with the real big cans. And she cooked real well to bring us food. She made a great cobbler. She brought it up always. And then. And that turned out to be a friend of his that turned into acquaintance. You know how that happens when you steal your buddy's ex wife? We just knew each other. And then he came back and got her. He drove down like Roll on Highway, the country song.

[Lawrence]

And.

[John Clay Wolf]

And took his Raising Arizona.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

When the guy. When the guy on the motorcycle scooped the kid up off the highway.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

The baby. That guy came in in an 18 wheeler and scooped his woman back from Babo and that was the end of that. And then Babo got depressed and he moved away. Remember that?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, I do.

[Lawrence]

He's been pretty.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's been pretty stiff. How long? Oh.

[J.D. Ryan]

Remember, John is on remote in California, so we're having a little digital transmission issue.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's not a good start.

[J.D. Ryan]

I can see John's talking. I'm looking at him on camera. By the way, if you'd like to follow us, it's jcwshow.com and if you want to watch all of this, go on. It's. It's on a YouTube stream, so you can't possibly miss it. But John is still talking and we're not.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've reconnected with him.

[J.D. Ryan]

Have you?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know if he's hearing us, John.

[J.D. Ryan]

He did that Darth Vader thing. It just kind of went away.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Hello. JD and Prek. Guess what?

[J.D. Ryan]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

You guys fill some time while I talk to the engineer.

[J.D. Ryan]

Pre K show. So we're not going to be able to play any audio, so let me do a story with no audio.

[David]

This.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, there he is. He's back.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go, go. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay. A couple in West Virginia is behind bars after they both got DUIs. This is a fun vacation story. They both got DUIs while driving a stolen RV and they were having love relations behind the wheel while driving down the freeway. West Virginia cops saw the 48 year old Matthew McDonald behind the wheel and the 35 year old Shannon Bryan straddling him. Both were without clothes at this moment. Cops found weed, drug paraphernalia.

[John Clay Wolf]

What?

[J.D. Ryan]

In a bag with some white powdery substance, probably flour. And because they ran the place, on top of everything else, the RV was stolen. They both got busted for drugs, stolen RV and indecent exposure. So don't do that down the freeway. I think everybody at some point has probably tried that particular move and did not work for this particular West Virginia couple.

[John Clay Wolf]

I thought you were talking about Florida.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, this. This one happened to be West Virginia. But it does sound like something that would happen in Florida, doesn't it? Stolen rv, drug and having the sex. Go ahead, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was just grabbing a.

[J.D. Ryan]

A line.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, line, Tim. Pittsburgh, good morning. You're on there. Hey, John, how you doing? Good. What you got? 1990 Corvette. 45, 000 original miles, original owner. Does it have original rust? No, there is no rust on this car. Okay, good. If you find a pizza, right? If you find a piece of rust on this car, I'll give you the car for free. That's how sure I am. That is a guarantee from a Pittsburgh man that I will take. Okay, what color is it? Now we're talking. Now we got guarantees, all right? Cooper convertible, red, black.

[David]

It's.

[John Clay Wolf]

The whole top comes off the glass roof, so I get pop, I guess. But it's not E tops either. It's a coupe, so. So sticker, automatic, automatic. These cars have really not come on yet. This body style, as you know, I'm not beating on your car. I just lost a lot of money on two of these last week. But they had 130,000 miles on them, and I gave four grand for them. And I see you want eight for yours. Yours is nicer than these, by the way. The ones I had. I can tell already, especially with the guarantees that you're making, which I appreciate so much. Are there any. Are the tires smoked or is there any. Is the air work wrong? Is the air blowing hot or any gas? Are any gauges cloudy? No, everything works on it. Air conditioner is ice cold. Tires are like new on a car. Mm. I'll roll dice at 7007. I know you want eight, but I just. I know you. So I give you eight and then I have to do all my buff and fluff and stuff to it. So I'm 8,500 in it. Then I've got to get nine to make a profit. And I think I'm gonna get. I think I'm gonna get eight. I think. I think I'm going to get what you want. Yeah, I hope that. I mean, if. If you can do. I'll tell you why. If you do 72, you got yourself a deal. I think that's. That's fair. When you say. When you said you have to pop. You don't have to do nothing to this car. This car. Admit. Done. Done. I know people say that. Hey, hey. A guy taught. A guy taught me one time once. The customer, which I'm the customer in this regard, says yes. You know what you're supposed to do? I don't shut up. You're supposed to shut up. I said yes. Then you stop selling. Once I say yes, you stop selling. Okay. And you take my. You take my money. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I said yes. I said we're good. We're good. Okay. Okay. So we will go to givemetheven.com. load it up. Guys are listening in the office. They hear the conversation. They know I just agreed to the deal. And thank you, sir. And hey, if y' all want to do another call like this, we're coming up to the lightning round right now. 8008-0072-3480-0800, 7234. 800, 800 radio this. We're going to take a music break. I'm going to take three quick car calls like you just heard. Then we're gonna do another music break. And then we're gonna come back with an update on all the things that you hate and are worried about. And we need to talk about this Texas flood, man. We were off the air last weekend during the fourth of July. I've got a lot to say about that. Be right back. Turn around.

[Amir]

Now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevent.com. hit him up right now. 1, 800, 800, radio. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Kenny in Florida. Good morning. You're in the air. Hi. Yeah, I have a 2005 Toyota 4Runner with a little less than 80,000 miles on it down here to relocate. It says that one of my competitors hit you at six grand and we hit you at three. And I'm looking at your car and is it a four wheel drive or two? It's all wheel drive four. Okay. See, that's the problem with computers and how they haven't taken over people yet. Because I understand why my computer hit it at three. It's because all of the transactions that it was using as comps were 150,000 miles. And when you put the 80,000 miles in there, it just doesn't adjust properly. It doesn't have the right amount of comps. And you've got to use your brain as a seasoned car buyer to move right and go past the book and go past the comps, because this is really good miles for that year car. Right. Is it average rough or clean condition? It's in good condition. It's the only thing I see is that it's got a slight. It's got a crack on the dashboard. Okay. There's some. I'm just not about it. Otherwise, it's in fine.

[David]

It's in good condition.

[John Clay Wolf]

It runs right. And no exterior damage on the body. Never been an accident. Cool. I'll give the six screen. Okay. And I'll pay you immediately. What. What part of Florida you in?

[David]

I'm in the Villages.

[John Clay Wolf]

Central Florida? Yeah. Are you. Are you a swinger? No, I just got here. I just moved here like two days ago. They haven't converted you yet? No, no, I'm still a newbie. Do you have the loofah on your golf cart? Like with the different colors? Do you know the program over there? I heard of that. That's just a rumor. I don't think it's a rumor. So he lives in the largest retirement community in the country. Guys. And they like to party. And, you know, Viagra changed the whole climate of the villages 15, 20 years ago. And they have these golf carts and they have different color loofahs that they have on the golf carts, which tells everybody else what program that they're on, which is a. I don't know. I don't know the different programs. Do you. Kenny, do you know the. Do you have the legend for the color? J.D. i didn't see any loop at the squares, but who knows? Hey, go to givemethevin.com. tell your guy what we did. I'm giving six grand. And thank you for calling me. All right. Thank you. Just reply to the email that the autoresponder at 3 that John said he's given 6. And JD please send it. Give me the VIN loofah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Got it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, we need to get start that for Florida. John, Dan. And Pittsburgh, an 89 Camaro RS 127,000 miles lower, 2 inches on the front. The back needs paint. Needs paint. No rust. Want 650. Want 6,500. Had previous offers. Okay. Dan, I think you've got a $2,000 car. And I'll tell you why. Are you there? Let me see if you go to carsandbids.com I was trying. I had a good one that didn't need paint. Same car this week and it had same miles. I tried to sell it my auction lane. It brought 3,700. I was like, I can get more than that for it. I hate to blow it up because I gave the guy five. And this is a blue car with the ground effect kit, the factory alloys. A 91 RS coupe, 5 liter, nice rig. And I sold it on cars and bids for 5,700, which basically broke me out after shipping and stuff. But if your car needs paint, you know, that's four grand. Maybe that's a $4,000 paint job to put a paint job on it, maybe five. That is worthwhile. So that makes your car worth. I don't even wanted it too, to tell you the truth. I'd give 1500 for it because when you paint it, 1500 plus 4, plus shipping. Now I'm back buried in the same thing, hoping I get a different result. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's where my valuation comes from. Thank you for calling, sir. 800-817. 800, 800 radio. My name is John Clay Wolfe. This is John Clay Wolf Show. We are live in California today. It is early out here, as you see. Can can tell. So we haven't even gotten started, but it's going to be a big day and Adam Carolla is going to join me in the last two hours and we're having a car show out here so you can go to the YouTube stream if you want to watch the live video later on when it gets rolling. And we'll be right back for you in your city right now.

[David]

I read a news article recently where they said top geologists believe Miami, Florida will be completely underwater in 25 years. Gone. That's insane that there's going to be history classes where they're teaching kids about the lost city of Miami. Eventually a student's gonna be like, hey, what were the people doing? Is their city just slipped into the sea? Cocaine and rollerblading mostly.

[John Clay Wolf]

There.

[David]

There were a lot of pool parties with DJs, Adam.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's it.

[David]

Just makes me wonder if Atlantis was the douchebag city before it went underwater.

[Amir]

And now we return to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com Check out the podcast at jcwshow.com if we're.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gonna listen to Blondie disco music and we're talking about loofahs in the villages. I think we need a man on the ground. James, are you there? Yes, sir. So you are a lawn care expert working at the villages right now, listening to the radio program. And you see the loofahs on the golf carts? I do not see the loofahs. I was looking for the loofahs. We heard it and we're driving around now looking for loofahs on golf carts. JD can you give him the breakdown of what the different color coding means?

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure, sure. So if you have a loofah on your golf cart, here's what they mean. White means you're a novice or beginner.

[John Clay Wolf]

Novice or beginner? What?

[J.D. Ryan]

Swinger. Swinger. These are all swingers in the villages. Purple means voyeur. You like to watch. That's purple. Pink means soft swap. I'm not gonna get into details here. You're gonna have to use your soft swap.

[John Clay Wolf]

Me?

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm not gonna tell you because we're gonna get dumped.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just use your imagination.

[J.D. Ryan]

Use your imagination.

[John Clay Wolf]

Soft swap means you don't have a Viagra.

[J.D. Ryan]

No. You okay? I'll be as gentle as I can here. You like other people being in the room while you and your person are having time together, but are you having.

[John Clay Wolf]

Time with your person?

[J.D. Ryan]

Your person, but other people.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you just wanna. You just wanna crowd?

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a. Yeah, that's kind of the deal. Yeah, that's a step above.

[John Clay Wolf]

You just want some attendance. What color is that?

[J.D. Ryan]

That is pink.

[John Clay Wolf]

I need a pink loofah right now. Because I'm here. It's six in the morning. I'm at the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas, California, and I'm all by myself and I need a crowd. Okay. They're coming later.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think so. Hang on. Crab. I mean, you claim to be Mr. Chauffein USA, and you're sitting here writing about how you were coming today and you're not coming. Well, my ride bailed out on me because I was going to meet him halfway. And. And, you know, it's still three and a half hours from my house, dude, so. Do you not own a car I can't make? Yeah, but I don't want to drive that far. We have a very lazy listener body. Very lazy. Go ahead, J.D.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay. All right. So blue is the lowest level of swap. Those, basically, they can play well with others. Everybody agrees there's nothing hard. Yellow is mid.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes. I knew you'd do this.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lowest level of swap. And we're talking about loofah colors in the village that are signals for swingers.

[J.D. Ryan]

In the villages in Florida.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's lowest level of swap? What? Define lowest level.

[J.D. Ryan]

Play well with others.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where, like play well with others. What's that?

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't want to get into details.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, you do.

[J.D. Ryan]

The women mostly play together while the men watch.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is all about, like, ticketing. This sounds like Ticketmaster. What do you. You want front row.

[J.D. Ryan]

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you could just. What color is that?

[J.D. Ryan]

You can. That is black.

[John Clay Wolf]

See, now, I think that that's racist.

[J.D. Ryan]

That it's the black loofah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just loofah color, you know, it should be rainbow. No, no. Is it homo loofah? Is there a homo?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, there's no. Actually, teal is for bisexuals, though. That's teal.

[John Clay Wolf]

See? Yeah. See, Mike, you're laughing.

[J.D. Ryan]

And that's it. That's all the colors. White Purple, pink, blue, yellow, black and teal.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what? When John Clay Wolf show, we gotta. We gotta market this. We gotta have one for Florida.

[J.D. Ryan]

Red, white and blue.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so it's red, white and blue. You got a combination?

[J.D. Ryan]

It would be pink, white and blue, but okay.

It is Saturday, July 12th and be right back. Oh yeah, we're back.

[Amir]

Back to the John Clay Wolf Show. Go to jcwshow.com for the fastest growing podcast in the U.S.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think the Police is what Gwen Stefani and no Doubt were inspired by. They were the first reggae rockers.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sky yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Saturday, July 12th. I'm glad you're awake. And with us, country singer Josh Weathers does a virtual concert for Texas flood and raises over 400,000.

[J.D. Ryan]

Cut eight hold on one sec. There have been floods of course, all over the country, but the one that got the most attention due to the number of people affected, of course, and still missing, country singer Joshua Weathers put together kind of a last minute virtual relief concert. He was supposed to be in concert that weekend and he obviously called that off. But did a virtual relief concert, raised just a ton of money.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's just virtual just means that he.

[J.D. Ryan]

Just streamed it, did it on streaming. Yeah, he just fired it up and got a ton of cash. Here's part of the report from a Dallas TV station, CBS 11, when they spoke to Weather's Cut 8.

[David]

I don't feel like a financial burden.

[John Clay Wolf]

Should be something they have to worry about right now.

[David]

But I would tell them you're not alone.

[John Clay Wolf]

People are. People are praying for you. People are tuning in and they it's a heartfelt response.

[David]

I don't even know what to say about that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, besides, Texas really stepped up last night. So how much did Texans step up? $330,000.

[J.D. Ryan]

And that is just counting the donations that rolled in during the actual live stream. They also had a silent auction.

[John Clay Wolf]

He used his gift and his platform of more than a hundred thousand followers to hold a last minute live stream concert. And look at all the money that he raised.

[J.D. Ryan]

We love to see that. And then that number, by the way, is closer to450,000 now. And it's just a lot of people are doing some benefit concerts.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is a Hail Mary. But if there's any artists out there, we need to reach out to some. We need to do something that rattlesnake next weekend for this. I was thinking about that. I've been so busy I hadn't had time to call Laura, my manager over there and get something lined up. But man, it's on my brain like a lot. Not leaving?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it's just the, the sheer magnitude of this, of this storm is. You hear floods all the time and never gone from 0 to 20, 30ft of water in minutes. And it just wiped out a ton of people. There's still over 100 people missing.

[John Clay Wolf]

160.

[J.D. Ryan]

160 still missing that they haven't even found.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's a, there's a full size truck or SUV, I can't even tell what. Say it's an F150. Yeah, that's what it was.

[J.D. Ryan]

I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they dug it out of the bottom of the river yesterday. And all you could see was just a little bit of the top of it. So there was so much debris and sediment, it buried this entire truck. Like where you could barely see it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right. Another foot and you wouldn't have seen anything. Another.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, you wouldn't notice there. So how many bodies are into that?

[J.D. Ryan]

That's what they're having to do in there. And they're telling people, don't try to burn debris, don't do anything until we have a chance to go through every single inch of this. And you got to realize that is 20 miles of debris. I mean, this went down, down the stream 20 miles.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, to what is it? Canyon Lake, which is. That's the kind of the dam area, which they're finding a lot of debris in there.

[J.D. Ryan]

A ton of debris. And that's where they're going to eventually, hopefully find these bodies.

[John Clay Wolf]

This would be like a plane crash. Not like it'd be exactly like a plane crash.

[J.D. Ryan]

As far as the body count. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Full of little kids.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's the kicker. It is.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, this camp. You hear a lot about Camp mystic, which is where the kids were. In fact, President Trump talked about that yesterday. If you want to hear it, that's cut 13.

[John Clay Wolf]

Christian summer camp known as Camp Mystic. A legendary camp, a camp that people.

[David]

Would want to go to from all over the country.

[John Clay Wolf]

People, parents, they come and they would stay with their children. They'd stay in other cabins just to be with their children. But a legendary place. They were there because they loved God. And as we grieve this unthinkable tragedy, we take comfort in the knowledge that God has welcomed those little beautiful girls into his comforting arms in heaven.

[J.D. Ryan]

That was one of many, many camps up and down that river, though. Tons. And you hear mostly about that, obviously, because the girls were 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. Just, just horrible. But Trump was in Texas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Buddy, mine's dope buddy of Mine's daughter at Highland park, three of her classmates like the, you know, like when you're in second and third grade, second grade, you don't switch classes all the time.

[J.D. Ryan]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you have your class that you're with all day. Three girls are dead from her class last year.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's on. Yeah. It's unbelievable. You can't wrap your brain around the families that are gone.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. A good friend of the show, Pat Green, lost his brother and his and his sister and his and his two kids. Yeah, Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, it's just, you really can't wrap your head around everything that, that has happened. Everything they continue to find. And you just think, oh well, it's a flood. No, it was so much more than it was. It was a hundred year flood.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do love in this, you know, America, everybody gets together and all the great things that are going on, like Pete Terry's barbecue stand in Dallas. Okay, 100. Anything that you buy right now, you go there, goes to relief fund on them. I mean, it's all those stories like that.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's, it's good to see people that showed up. Like Robert Plant. Yes, here's somebody you wouldn't think to would show up to a Texas flood situation. He showed up, he said, I'm not here to be seen, I'm here to help. And Willie Nelson did the same thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's all. Can you imagine a worse, more scarring job in your life than going down a riverbed? I mean, I'm thinking like when you're hunting, right? You're, I mean, and you come across a body and you're picking up seven year old girls out of, out of tree, you know, piles, digging them out one after the other. I mean, it's just the worst possible. Well, you know, I'm sure that that's what when you're over in Palestine or Israel and they're digging people out, it's, it's similar. It's war. I mean the war is against the weather on this one. But I'll tell. It's just. Yeah, there's gonna be a lot I don't know, man. It's, it's, it's hard to get your brain around. Truly. It's just hard to get your brain. So we were, my son was a counselor at La Junta.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

And my other son, yeah, Caven, was a camper. And they left three days before that. Wow. And he sent me a video that morning. So that was what, last Friday morning?

[J.D. Ryan]

Friday morning, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And, and Nolan was like, dude, look, dad, I Mean, this was early. His friend Tyler, that comes to our house all the time is the one that took the video of the big cabin rolling down the river, lights in, the people in it. You know, it's like full of counselors. And I was like, wow. You know, and I was looking at videos. Like, that's really Tyler talking. So I, it's. It's unbelievable. I never thought about.

[J.D. Ryan]

It looks like something out of a movie that it can't even be real, right? But it is and it's really.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I called a friend of mine and said, did your house get wiped out? Because he's got a family place down there on the Guadalupe right there in Hunt, Texas. He said, no, our house is up on the hill. And I was like, well, isn't that nice? He said, when I was a little kid and they're building the house, my grandfather, I said, dad, let me, grandpa, let's put the house down here by the riverbank. He said, oh, hell no. That river floods. He said, it'll get wiped out. He's. I've been here, you know, the granddad had been there for, you know, 40 years already as a, as a vacation place, right. And he knew and he put their house, he built him a cabin way up on the hill. And you know, back in 87, there was a flood that was just about. It wasn't as deadly as this one.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it's bad, but it was just as bad. Almost as bad. You're right. Didn't kill this many people.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it happened. I think you killed 10 campers. Yeah, what I was saying, this one happened in the middle of the night. That's the. No one had any warning. They couldn't get anything going.

[J.D. Ryan]

Stop.

[John Clay Wolf]

They didn't say not warning. Yeah, they had warning because there's people going.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, the National Weather Service didn't. Yes, they did. They notified everybody. But if you have a weather radio, how many times does the. Does the flash flood warning go off and you totally ignore it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, and at night in the middle.

[J.D. Ryan]

In the middle of the night too. Well, they had a 12 hour warning, but nobody thinks this is going to happen. So you go to bed and you wake up to the river at your bedside.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, and you.

[J.D. Ryan]

Three, four.

[John Clay Wolf]

In the morning, in the daylight, you can see stuff.

[J.D. Ryan]

You can see it coming.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. If they had a 12 hour warning.

[J.D. Ryan]

Of a flash flood warning, go ahead.

[John Clay Wolf]

In the guys of the area had seen this before. I'm surprised that there wasn't a little more phone call to the big camp.

[J.D. Ryan]

I tell you it's like the Florida effect when a hurricane comes. Oh, they're just talking. I've lived through all kinds of hurricanes. I'm gonna stay right here and protect myself. You don't think fathom that it could be this bad? You just don't. So you go, I've done this before. There's been flash flood warnings all day, every day.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. The cry wolf thing, that's what people were.

[J.D. Ryan]

And people go, yeah, I can, I can live through a hurricane. And then it becomes a spore and it kills you.

[John Clay Wolf]

When the lightning comes up, they dump the whole stadium out.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, that's true. They do that for legal reasons.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

[J.D. Ryan]

I agree. But think of the, the process of emptying a Stadium at 3:00 in the afternoon versus the, the just the logistics of emptying a campground of a thousand or two thousand people at three in the morning. You're going to go door. You're going to go door to door, knock on the door and go, hey, this might happen. And remember, the water came up in 20 minutes, 30 minutes. You don't have time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now. The middle of the night's a kicker.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's the kicker.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, I'm by no means trying to arm.

[J.D. Ryan]

Had people been out boating and everything else, you're right. A thousand more people would have gotten out of the way.

[John Clay Wolf]

Terrible time.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

My wife told me yesterday. You know, I thought they're, you know, La Junta. Yep. I was like, they're gonna rebuild La Junta, but Mystic. I was like, there's no way they're gonna put it back together because there's too much death on it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

And she told me last night, she said, my understandings are rebuilding.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, they're totally gonna rebuild it. There was a representative from mystic actually at the press conference yesterday with the President. They said we absolutely, positively, we'll rebuild it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's been around for a hundred years.

[J.D. Ryan]

100 years, and it's just so special to so many people. Yeah, they are going to rebuild it.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Texans are stubborn. They're going to.

[J.D. Ryan]

We are that. And it just did.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Aggies did. The Aggies. Did they start doing the bonfire again after their tragedy?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep, sure did.

[John Clay Wolf]

The same level, Same height.

[J.D. Ryan]

Same height.

[John Clay Wolf]

That large. A little bit more engineering.

[J.D. Ryan]

A little more engineering behind it, but yes, they did.

[John Clay Wolf]

How many kids died in that? Anybody remember? Not kids, but just people. Yeah. Was it 10?

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't remember.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm talking about the Aggie. The, the bonfire rally the night before the games and they built these huge 12 people with, like, cranes. I mean, very tall. And it didn't go down right. And it killed 12 people. Correct.

[J.D. Ryan]

That was in 1990.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Prek, what were you saying down in Houston? Good morning, everybody. By the way, there was a dub show.

[Steve Goldfield]

Yeah, I went to the DJ Screw Day car show and concert and went and saw the Slabs, man. It was something to see, I'll tell you that much, man. All the, you know, cars with the 80 foes poking out, you know, rims that stick out a foot and a half, and all the pop trunk with the neon letters that have Sands in them. I mean, stuff you only see in Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

Black, white, Latino or other.

[Steve Goldfield]

I think you know the answer to that, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I really don't.

[Steve Goldfield]

It was a pretty diverse crowd, but I will say it's definitely, you know, a more urban thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

More urban? Like Keith Urban in Nicole Kidman? Yeah, yeah, it's. It's a.

[Steve Goldfield]

Like, it's a country thing, too.

[John Clay Wolf]

The footage you shot is great, great stuff. Showing it on our stream.

[J.D. Ryan]

And what do these people do for a living to be able to put that kind of. Because these aren't daily drivers. What are these people?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I'm the dope man. Yeah, boy wear quarter money up to here, but unemployed. I keep smoking that rock in my pocket. Getting bigger. Yo, got that five, zero, double up dub now. What was it called? What's what called? Dub Fest.

[Steve Goldfield]

It's screw day for D.J.

[John Clay Wolf]

Screw. D.J.

[J.D. Ryan]

Screw. How's D.J. screw doing, by the way?

[Steve Goldfield]

Well, he died back in the year 2000.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sorry to hear, but his legacy lives.

[Steve Goldfield]

On the Slabs and all that.

[J.D. Ryan]

I was so close with him at one time.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, like, what percentage is urban? What percentage is. Here's my guesses. And I still think one third for sure is Hispanic.

[Steve Goldfield]

I guess if I really had to break it down, like, maybe you're calling.

[John Clay Wolf]

It a black thing, and I think that you're leaving the Mexicans out and it's kind of.

[Steve Goldfield]

Oh, no, that. That's what I was about to say. There's a heavy Latin presence there, you know, Heavy Mexican Presence, maybe, you know, 35, 40 black, 35, 40 Latino. And then. Yeah, then, you know, representation. And white folks like me sprinkled in as well.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so you got two thirds. Gotcha. And the rest is just. Yeah, so it's not just an urban thing. So don't. So don't be a racist. And don't do that. Don't do that to the other people that want to be part of this community. People want community. Pre K, look, you know, you're just sitting there saying, what's the black thing? You know, you're. Nobody else is allowed. And since you think you're black, but you're white, then you feel like you're on that side of the fence. And I just. You need to check it.

[Steve Goldfield]

Whenever you see a Cadillac with 80 foes on the back with the fifth wheel leaning and a trunk popped up and it says who you bank with, I'd say That's pretty urban.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. If you were there at Slab Day, DJ Slap. What was his name? DJ Screw. CJ Screw in the slabs and the dubs. Yeah. If you need to straighten out anything of Pre K's recoil on this, please call and straighten that 800-800-7 2, 3, 4. What did it say on the back of the car?

[Steve Goldfield]

Well, a lot of these slabs have all sorts of different sayings. You know, there are some that said, you know, it's a country thing. Some that said, you know, hustle town, Texas, just.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they'll.

[Steve Goldfield]

They'll personalize these slabs and just have different neon signs in the back that just say whatever they want them to.

[John Clay Wolf]

Top tier. We're looking the video right now on the stream here. Country thing. Were these, like, lowered trucks?

[Steve Goldfield]

There were some. Yeah, I saw. I saw a truck out there that was sitting on swingers.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's a swinger?

[Steve Goldfield]

Swingers are the, like the 80 foe. They come from the 84 Cadillac Barretts. And they're these wheels that poke out and they'll put, you know, four on the flow. One on the back with the fifth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, they've got a spare tire.

[Steve Goldfield]

Yeah, I think you've called them like Cragers or something before. We've talked about them before.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's just. They're not Cragers, I can tell you that.

[Steve Goldfield]

They're kind of that style, but they're modified, no doubt.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now, what would you pay for one of these rides, John? I mean, how do you put a value on something like probably 20 grand? I always get smoked Every time I get a hold of something like that, and, you know, they got 100 grand in it, and I can't. Oh, yeah. I. I just can't help those ghetto cars. You got to be in a. In a. In a ghetto swap group, like a Facebook ghetto car swap, where. Where they can. I'll give, you know, 80 for years, and you give 80 for mine. And then they're always just trading amongst each other, and they're never getting down to a real value because they're into it. Because whenever you pull them out of the club, out of the. Out of the swinger community and they're on their own, not everybody else feels the way they feel. Does that make sense?

[J.D. Ryan]

Totally. Yeah, completely.

[Steve Goldfield]

It's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's like bitcoin guys. They just want to trade bitcoin amongst you. They won't pay for bitcoin, and they want to eat. It's just. But once you get outside of it, it's just a tough place. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Speaking of black, white, Latino or other, do we have time? Yes, we do. We can. Let's hit it up right now. You are now about to witness the.

[David]

Strength of street knowledge.

[Steve Goldfield]

All right, it's time for everybody's favorite game show, white, Black, Latino or other, where I read Crime story, and, man, y' all just give me the general vibe that it gets. All right, y' all ready?

[J.D. Ryan]

Ready to go.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Steve Goldfield]

This week, we got a man who's just looking for a little respect. Our suspect in San Diego, California, walked into a local bank to ask for directions. He must have been headed to the local donut shop because he was dressed in full cop regalia, okay. Gun on his hip and all. And told them he's a local police officer. The banker thought his badge looked a little funny, so she called the real police and told him to be on the lookout for a suspect's Honda Accord with the bumper missing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Stop.

[J.D. Ryan]

Stop it.

[Steve Goldfield]

Cops easily found our boy and stopped him to holla and see what's up. Turns out our guy wore the uniform to get respect when dealing with people. Cops searched his vehicle and found two guns that turned out to be pellet guns and arrested him for impersonating an officer and driving on a suspended license. But was he white, black, Latino, or other?

[J.D. Ryan]

White, white, white, white, white, white, and Asian. What you see? Asian.

[John Clay Wolf]

Asian. Why Asian? I'm not telling you yet. Okay?

[J.D. Ryan]

I think I know why.

[John Clay Wolf]

If I'm right, I'll look like a genius. Only I'm with J.D. i mean only, only a white guy would do.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's overweight. Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's definitely never popular in school. Over way he's on Facebook, is a big superstar and he's like I'm gonna.

[John Clay Wolf]

Show you my author badge from that he got from his old west.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's plastic.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think I'm wrong. I think I know what you're shot like. You know if we're on a shooting range, you guys are all shooting 20 yard shots and I just went and took the thousand yarder. You did. I'm going to miss, but I like it if I hit.

[J.D. Ryan]

There you go. Okay, well you think Asian, we're going to say white.

[Steve Goldfield]

So we got two whites, one Asian.

[J.D. Ryan]

Correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

Man.

[Steve Goldfield]

John, I don't know how you do it, man. 49 year old Dudley Quat Tak Chan, an Asian man.

[John Clay Wolf]

No way.

[J.D. Ryan]

You got that.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that's why I'm the host.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's true. That is absolutely true.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was your theory? That damn Honda.

[J.D. Ryan]

I knew it. I knew that's what you were going to go with.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was the Honda Accord with missing bumper. And he's a crazy ass. Right. So he doesn't need money. I didn't have a bumper on it. He's trying to get some respect so he can make some money so he get a bumper. Well, you know what we did forget? He went to the donut. He didn't have enough money to buy a gun. He stole a BB gun from nephew pellet gun and he wanted respect. At the donut shop.

[J.D. Ryan]

At the donut shop. Yeah. Well that's.

[John Clay Wolf]

I didn't even hear that part. If I, if I'd have heard that part, I, I got, I got distracted while you were saying that I would have doubled down.

[J.D. Ryan]

The Asian John gets the thousand yard shot.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's amazing. What was, what was his name again?

[Steve Goldfield]

His name was surprisingly. First name Dudley of course. Middle name Quack Tack. Last name Chan.

[J.D. Ryan]

[John Clay Wolf]

Dennis in Nashville, Tennessee. Good morning. You've got a 24, 24 diesel Chevy, 9,000 mile, four wheel drive truck, crew cab. Does it have a sunroof? No sunroof. It is leather, cloth. No. Well, it will not do. 55,000 then. I saw that. You want 55 grand. I can't make that work at 55 grand if it's cloth with no roof. But it's a Z71, you say. What color is it? Blue. Oh, it's just getting better. Which color? Blue. Dark blue or like electric blue? It's like, not a real dark blue, but it's blue. All right, it's Blue. I'll give 52 grand. Are you still there? Yeah. 52 grand.

[David]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

It'S. I'd go 55 at the lowest. I guess I'll suffer. I was gonna upgrade, and that's the only problem with me owning it is I was gonna go to a gmc. But you want what everybody else just wants. You want the better version. I get it. I mean, people that are gonna spend that much money on a truck, they want leather, they want roof, they want the gear. And it's just harder to sell them because they're so expensive without all the gear. You know, think about it. No big deal. Thank you, sir. Vince, I cannot get to 10,000 on a 17 Tacoma extended cab, two wheel drive with 180,000 miles on it. Where can you get probably 7:75? Yeah, yeah. All right, man. I appreciate you. Dinah in Austin. Vince was in Tampa. Diane in Austin, I. And I can't get to 8500 on a 13 Cherokee Trailhawk with 130 on it. It's a 15. Yeah, I just, I, I actually during the break, I looked up some transactions on that one, and it's looking more like six. Okay. Yeah, I've got a dealership that actually offered 7, 900 for it. So. On trade or straight by? On a straight by. And then I have an individual that's looking at it for like 9, 800. But, you know, I don't know if that's going to come through, so I just wanted to call y' all first, see if you could. No, no, get up there. I appreciate it. Let me look one more time. Hang on. Let me make sure I'm doing my job properly. So it's got 130 on it. The Trailhawk is a, is a bigger engine that. So here's 136. Here's 130,000 miles sold in New England last week for 4700. Here is a hundred and thirty three sold in Phoenix. These are wholesale transactions. 74, 7400. So that must have been a nice one. Here's one with 120 sold for 4800. Here's one with 128 sold for seven grand. And the dealership hit you at what, 69. 7979 I'd get. Yeah, I think that they're standing all over it. I think our market's probably a little better. Yeah. So I think our market down here must feel better compared to what you just quoted. So on high. On high miles. Yeah. Okay. Thank you, ma'. Am. Yeah. Okay, thanks. Real quick, Brianna in Florida. What you got? What do I got? Yeah, can you hear me? Yeah, perfect. What I have about what you're on the air. You've been holding. You have a question? Yes. Oh, yeah. Originally I was at holding. From the, the loofah segment that you had. I was wondering, well, my fiance is colorblind. He can't differentiate between blue and green. So I was wondering, like, how have you ever heard of anything interesting about that for people? So what we're talking about is a guy called in from the villages in Florida, and we were talking about the loofahs hanging off the golf carts, and there's different colors. That tells you what kind of swinger they are. And she's saying that her boyfriend is colorblind. So what does that mean? I think it means he's homosexual. We'll be right back. My name Is John Clay Wolfe by cars and radio for America's best car buyer. GiveMeTheVin.com right this way folks. You're now in the entering the corking room where we prepare all the corks for all the bottles of Brunello that you saw earlier. Any questions? I've always actually wondered about that. How do you cork the bottles? Excellent question, Mabel. As you can see, we are soaking all the corks in this room right now. These three guys right here are some of the most talented cork soakers. Say hello, you old cork soakers.

[J.D. Ryan]

Wow, this soaking corks really seems like a family business. So does your wife like soaking corks?

[David]

Well, she used to when we were dating. Now not so much.

[John Clay Wolf]

Um, could you teach me how to soak cork? You know, one of you walked in here. I could have sworn you're already an expert cork. So. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So speaking of Florida jumping the coast.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is your Florida news?

[J.D. Ryan]

Sunshine State.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now from North America's own land down.

[David]

Under, it's time for Sunshine State News.

[John Clay Wolf]

With your certified lifeguard, J.D. ryan.

[J.D. Ryan]

People do crazy, crazy stuff on their birthdays. They even do crazier stuff when they're on their birthday. And meth 57 year old birthday boy in Key west managed to steal a sightseeing train. Stole it and went for a joyride. Even stopped to pick up passengers along the way. Jonathan Winslow is his name. He commandeered the Conch tour train, drove it around for about an hour picking up people, just having a great time. Winslow, by the way, is now celebrating his birthday in the Key west jail on burglary and grand theft auto charges. I don't know if you've ever taken that tour bus, but it's, it's like think of the Disney tour bus where it's just open and you're just beautiful. He's just driving it away. They just let him take up. People, this is cut number four where he talks about his drug use.

[John Clay Wolf]

You may not be able to tell it now. There's a time in my life when I was down so low. I lost my job, four wheel drive. I even got thrown out of my trailer all because of one thing. Free basin cocaine. Well, that smoky white devil is no longer a part of my life. Now I'll take a drink. Now I will take a drink. But I do not free base cocaine somewhere. So I do at speed get back up again. Of course he gotta get ready the next day and going all day long. Pardon everything. But as far as basin goes, I don't do that. I will not forbid cocaine. I don't touch it unless it's my birthday something and especially I'll get out that piping in our base.

[J.D. Ryan]

And it was his birthday. Fort Lauderdale cops are having their hands full this week with a guy who was in his birthday suit. The problem was he was swimming in a stranger's pool, had not been invited, just took off his clothes and jumped in. Took 8 cops and 4 hours to get the naked guy out of this pool. That they couldn't use tasers or they couldn't use mace because they didn't want the guy to drown. But every time they got close to him, he just swam away from them. More proof that Florida Method must be really good stuff. Here's cut number five.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wild video showing officers wrangling a naked man who crashed a homeowner's backyard pool and wouldn't get out for nearly four hours. They try hooking the man with a pool skimmer. Then they got Henderson behavioral team to come out and they send someone to try to negotiate with him and talk with him. What are you doing? Swimming? Yeah.

[David]

My back was killing me. And why go to the car, get the bathing suit, jump right in.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's exhilarating when that didn't work. Cavaro says then they try lassoing him with the hose. Finally pulling him to the ledge, wrapped it around him after maybe being here three and a half, four hours. They were very patient. The police are very, very patient. Police say the man was Baker acted and taken to a hospital.

[J.D. Ryan]

Baker active means you're crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why do math when you have the.

[David]

John Clay Wolf show?

[J.D. Ryan]

Absolutely. He was on meth as well. And finally the FRN and find out. Sheriff Mike Chitwood in Florida is warning kids not to try to attempt the latest tick tock challenge of this is so stupid. I can't believe anyone would do it. Kick in a front door to someone's home and then run away. Except timestamps, they're not getting to run away. Go ahead.

[John Clay Wolf]

Setting a poop bag on fire, that's up to you.

[J.D. Ryan]

But if you're kicking in someone's door, they probably think you're coming in to do bad things to them. And this is the sheriff talking about how that's a really bad idea. Cut 11.

[David]

That's a good way to end up dead. Especially in Florida.

[Adam Carolla]

You got to think you're about to become a victim of a home invasion.

[David]

Robbery under a castle.

[Adam Carolla]

Doctor, you're going to shoot first and ask questions later. You're endangering your future with this TikTok challenge.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, you think Texas is bad, man, Florida will. Yeah. Really kick the door in and get killed.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's dumb.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's really dumb.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, lighting a bag of poop on. That's okay. That's not a big deal. Who hasn't done that?

[J.D. Ryan]

Everybody's done that.

[John Clay Wolf]

But kicking Dover down.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[David]

Really good.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a good way to get your ass shot off.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't care what state you're in.

[J.D. Ryan]

There is your Florida news.

[John Clay Wolf]

A lot of meth.

[J.D. Ryan]

A lot of meth in Florida. They must have good stuff.

[John Clay Wolf]

Speaking of nudes, Charlie, back when you had. Do you have a swimming pool at this new house? Yes. Are you. Do you. Now that your kid's gone, like, when you get up in the morning, you get in the pool naked?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes. Well, I can see his face. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, a night swim's not. Not a bad thing. You know, you go in.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why wet the bathing suit?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's. Right. It's. It's exhilarating. I don't have to Ms. JD. I mean, he. He's.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, absolutely, positively. Day, night, whatever.

[John Clay Wolf]

There is something about that.

[J.D. Ryan]

Just going out and it's awesome.

[John Clay Wolf]

The freedom.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's just freedom. That's why what you get at a new disc camp, same thing. It's the freedom. It's not sexual. It's just. I don't want clothes on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

J.D.

[J.D. Ryan]

I can swim in my own pool. I can walk around in nature, and it's. You're one with nature. It's really not. People think nudist camps are sexual, but they're not at all. It just. It's just about freedom. It's about walking around and just being one with.

[John Clay Wolf]

I remember being at Hippie Hollow in Austin, Texas, in college. Now, we were walking a hiking path.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And there was a guy that walked up. There's a nude beach.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he had his junk all strapped up in some. Some type of tool, some rubber band. Like, you know what a hair tie looks like.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right, right, right, right, right. Now that's the exception is Hippie Hollow. What was that all about, Hippie Hollow? Because Hippie Hollow is a little bit different. It's. It's kind of a pickup spot, and it is also known as a gay spot in. In Austin. Oh, yeah. So you're. You're gonna get. That's not your average nudes camp, your average nudist camp. They've had family and kids and just. Just like an RV park. Any other RV park, except people are naked.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why did he have his junk all strung up? Hung up.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a fetish. That's a fetish. And he was showing you. Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like, it reminded me of a calf roper with a pig and string. Legs up. Sure, cinch it.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's like having a fetish.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you mean it's a fetish?

[J.D. Ryan]

It's a fetish to have that all tied up tightly. Like having a ring on. I'm gonna leave it at that. People put rings on that restrict blood flow. We're going to stop right there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Exotic calling in.

[J.D. Ryan]

Is he calling 20 minutes?

[John Clay Wolf]

He's Mr. Prince Albert, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

He is indeed. Oh, do I know that? God wouldn't that Hurt terribly, I would imagine.

[John Clay Wolf]

Awful.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes. But again, there's people that are.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're at the tattoo parlor. Hey, any piercings? You know, I got covered in tattoos. I don't anywhere else to do that. Get any piercings. Yeah, we do that. Yeah. Stick that barbell through my sack, please. Or worse. I've been waiting on that. Oh, yeah. Or my thing.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

How do they. How do they. How do they miss the urethra?

[J.D. Ryan]

From what I've heard, I have no idea. But whatever. They go. God, how do you say this without getting dumped? You go lower than the actual urethra.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Urethra is a biological thing.

[J.D. Ryan]

We're not talking not. No, it's biological.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[J.D. Ryan]

So you go lower than that and you avoid that. Otherwise you're going to block the stream.

[John Clay Wolf]

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, Johnny Cash taking the weekend off. But we have a special, a special guy to read it. It's DJ Lockjaw.

[John Clay Wolf]

This going to be interesting.

[J.D. Ryan]

This should be really good. I don't know how DJ Lockjaw. Are you there from wherever you are?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, man, what's going on, y'? All? There it is. Yeah, yeah. This was locked up and Johnny Cash couldn't make it. So I figured. I read mail from jail, you know what I'm saying?

[J.D. Ryan]

Johnny Cash couldn't make it. So you're going to do the jail mail from jail.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. This week we got a little say. Hey, John. Clay. Well, I'm glad you had an outlet for prisoners on your show. So many people forget about us. So it's uplifting to hear from other.

People in my current situation on the radio. I'm doing 15 years for habit, early habitation.

[John Clay Wolf]

What? What'd you do?

[J.D. Ryan]

15 years for something. Aggravated something.

[John Clay Wolf]

Aggravated burglary of habitation.

[J.D. Ryan]

Burglary for a. From a habitation. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've been in for five. And hopefully we'll make parole in just a few more years.

[J.D. Ryan]

Just a few more years. He'll make parole. He's been in for five.

[John Clay Wolf]

One of the first things I do.

[Steve Goldfield]

When I get up, take a nice long warm bath.

[John Clay Wolf]

All we have in here is showers. And it's not very relaxing showering with a bunch of naked dudes. No, I also miss the food, so I'll be happy to get a taste of the delicious toilet and boo noodle. My family would be. I hear you have Mexican restaurant, the Bosque Cantina.

[J.D. Ryan]

Bosque Cantina. He's glad. He'll be glad to join you at the restaurant, the Bosque Cantina.

Launch your podcast on podbean today. It just. When y' all were talking about people getting caught with your junk tied up, it reminded me of a story that happened in 08. There was a CNN aviation specialist, some sort of, you know, not an anchor, but a reporter specialist on cnn. Richard Quest. And he was arrested in Central park with his junk in a rope, or I think his testicles in a rope. And when he was arrested, he. When he was approached by police, he apparently just said, and I've got meth in my pocket too, of course, Bob in North Carolina, you have comment on it. Also, I was. I was asking what I saw at Hippie Hollow in Austin, Texas, with this guy with a rope tie around his stuff. What was it? Oh, it was a rope around it. Okay. No, no, I mean, it was like. It's like a hair tie. It was all. It's all bound up. Okay, well, if it just was bound up, then I guess it's not what I was thinking. It might be. I don't know if you ever heard of foreskin restoration. Circumcised people kind of restoring their stuff. Oh, you like. Like you wish your parents hadn't circumcised you? Yeah. Are you cut? Yes. Do you wish you weren't? But I haven't done it. But I've seen it and I've contemplated it. You know, I thought about it, but I've never done it. But what religion are you? Are you Muslim? No. No. You sound like a Muslim. Because everybody did it in the 60s, when I was born in the late 60s. So if you had children, would you have them cut? I already did, and I didn't. Anteaters. All right, James, you have a question for me?

[J.D. Ryan]

Great visual.

[John Clay Wolf]

James. And Galveston. You have a question for me? Yes, sir. What you got? Can you hear me? Yep, loud and clear. Well, I'm a student pilot. I know that you are a pilot, and I know you have a Falcon. What do you think about the Beechcraft 180 Sundowner? They're all the same. I mean, the 172s, the 150s, the 182s, the 206s. Well, those aren't Beechcrafts. The Sundowner. I'm taking assessors. Yeah, that Sundowner, it's a It's a cheaper bird. It's a fixed gear bird. I don't think it's a constant. It's not a variable pitch prop. So it's like a 172 of Beechcraft.

[J.D. Ryan]

Like a Musketeer Cherokee. 180. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, is it 60 grand? Well, how much are, how much are they now? So it's 80,000.

[David]

He wanted 120 and I.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's my CFI. Hey, CFI is selling his own bird. So 80,000 cash. That's. That's a good deal, right? My gut number was 60, but I don't know the TBO. I don't know the TTAF. I don't know any of that stuff on it. But yeah, send us a picture of you. Send us a picture of you so that when you die, we'll have. We'll hang a little more.

[David]

Now it's time for plane talk with your captain, J.D.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ryan.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't know what to say about that. He's like, what is it? Send the pictures in case. When you die. What is that?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. The old plane just sounds like a hunk. I think probably a 40 grander. I just didn't want to hurt his feelings.

[J.D. Ryan]

I've flown the Sport. It's really awkward to fly. It's not, it's not like pipe. Do a Pipe or do a Cessna.

[John Clay Wolf]

Beechcraft didn't get famous with that. With that.

[J.D. Ryan]

No. Beachcraft, the Bonanza and the Baron, which you. You had a Baron and you still do.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I had a Bonanza when I started flying. You know, they're like, don't, you know, don't go to Bonanza first because it's too complex and you're not ready for it. And I said, if I'm going to be cut loose and this is what I'm going to fly, I want to learn in the plane that I'm going to fly. So I bought one before I had my license and I did my training in a Bonanza. And so when, after I did my practical and everything done, I was, you know, I was comfortable with it. Yep, I loved it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, they call them doctor killers for a reason, because people can afford them, but don't really do the training that it takes to have a complex aircraft like that. And you apparently did the training.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I quit before I died.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's just a complex airplane that.

[John Clay Wolf]

The reason I quit is because I don't. I'm not. I know that I don't need to be flying unless I'm Zoomed in. If you're not zoomed in, then you don't need to be doing it for sure. And I was flying once a week for a long time and, and then when I quit, just showing up, you know, once every three months, you're just not tuned up enough to be doing that stuff. And that's the way it is. It's kind of like this thing. Carolla and I are going to. I'm going to be doing the show from Sheboygan, Wisconsin next week, Road America.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sounds funny.

[John Clay Wolf]

Great big car race weekend thing. And I wanted to get my, I wanted to race, you know, get a car up there and do the race. And I was like, oh, I'll run over there to the track and get a license quick. And I meant to do it. So I put it off. Put it off. I was supposed to go race next weekend and I went out to the track and I was like, I need to get a racing license. I figured it was a three hour deal. And I'm like, dude, this is gonna take like three weeks, right? If you really focus. I'm like, really? So it's like getting a pilot's license. So I will not.

[J.D. Ryan]

Because you can really, really hurt yourself. Yeah, I mean, this is what, this is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Track racing car driver.

[J.D. Ryan]

Dude, in your head you are, in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Your head, you are absolutely. In video games, I'll whip your ass.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's like the guys that fly the, you know, the aircraft simulators. I could fly an airplane. I live in the simulator for hours and hours and hours.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's hang on, boss, hang on, hang on, hang on. It's not that different because I was a really good pilot starting out because I was a freak show once. I mean I, I did simulator since third grade. I, I, I disagree. It's very different. It's very wonderful training.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's very much the same until something bad happens. Until you really have to, to work the systems or, you know, something, something bad occurs. Yes. Up, down, left, right. Yes, you can do that on a simulator. In fact, airline pilots. Do you realize the first time an airline pilot steps into an airplane with passeng? They've learned in a simulator.

[John Clay Wolf]

They've got, oh, I mean, they do the check rides.

[J.D. Ryan]

In the old days they used to fly actual jets. Now they fly basically a simulator. Then the first time is with a passenger.

[John Clay Wolf]

Roger. In Florida. You've got an 18 Camaro ZL1 convertible. You want 60 grand? You want 60 grand for this 50 grand car? Are you there? Yeah, I'm here. I think it's a 50 grand car. The convertibles don't bring as much as the coupes and it's got great miles on it. What color is your car?

[David]

It's red.

[John Clay Wolf]

Love the car, but I think it's. I think it's 50 grand ride. I know it's 50 grand ride in my world. ZL1, it's got an LSA engine. It's got the LSA in it. Right. It's the LS4 through 650 horse, 650 torque. All right. Well, I'm sitting here looking at some comps. 50 grand. 48 4, 53, 750, 48 5. I think it's a 50 grand car. And I'll give it go to givemetheven.com and if you'd like to sell yours, call in right now. 8008-0072-3480-0800, 7234, 800, 800 radio. And we come back from this music break. I will take your car call. No, that's not true.

[J.D. Ryan]

Not yet.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's the next next segment.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's coming up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Come back. We got more BS. You got two things in the show. You got BS in cars, right? Cars. That happens in like 12 more minutes. All right, be right back. PS on deck.

[Amir]

And now back to the John Clay Wolf Show. Call in 800-800-RADIO. You can also check out the podcast [e-mail] you're listening to the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, Aaron, when's the last time you sat in a bar at seven in the morning?

[Lawrence]

I can't remember the last time I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sat in a bar, period. I'm an automotive journalist.

[Lawrence]

I don't make enough money to drink on my own time.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is, it is 8:06 out here in LA. We just joined KLOS in KGB in San Diego and the Point in Vegas. Good morning, west coast. I've got Aaron Gold here, Motor Trend senior editor. You've been with the company for like 20 years? No, I wish.

[Lawrence]

I've been writing for about 25 years. But I joined Automobile magazine in 2017 or 2018. A good sense of the passage of time. And then after the pandemic, kind of got rolled into the Motor Trend staff.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you part of Motor Trend tv?

[Lawrence]

I am on the, on the magazine side. On the. And the website. So they kind of kept us separate. They kind of kept video and, and written separate.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Lawrence]

That's good because Discovery has the video stuff and we're still.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's over.

[Lawrence]

Yeah, they've kind of, they kind of Split it up. But we got bought by Hearst, which owns Car, Car and Driver and Road Track, which is a good thing because hers takes a lot of pride in, in publication.

[John Clay Wolf]

So y' all literally share that brand. So Discovery owns the TV brand and Hearst owns the print brand.

[Lawrence]

I think WWBD kept the TV stuff. I don't really know how the business end of it works. And I know that right now our CEO is probably shooting himself in the head because I'm talking about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

But.

[Lawrence]

But yeah, they don't, they don't. They don't talk about the business.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I did a deal. I was over at Morning Brosie of the Day and they're not making new TV shows at all. The auto. I don't believe there is a new auto show being produced anywhere actually.

[Lawrence]

Well, it's so hard to do it right. You know, the model set by Top Gear in the UK and I actually worked for the US version of Top Gear for a while, which is tough to do. You know, that was just the perfect. I think the British Top Gear and the Grand Tour are just the perfect car shows. And it's hard to. You're never gonna imitate that level of success, that level of chemistry.

[John Clay Wolf]

But that wasn't the only one. I mean all of them. I mean there was a whole lineup of car shows and now the only thing that's on, on television is the reruns.

[Lawrence]

Yeah, I know. I think there's. And there's so many entertaining car people that. With so much good to say, you know, and I would like to think I'm one of them, but I don't know that anybody agrees except maybe my mother.

[John Clay Wolf]

Richard Rollins and I are working diligently on creating a new channel.

[Lawrence]

Oh, outstanding.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. And we've actually got an order for a. It's not contracted yet. I can't say who and what, but for a series. And we're going to start shooting that hopefully in the next three weeks. Oh, excellent.

[Lawrence]

I can't wait to see it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then, and then we've got plans on. Because I mean making a 24 hour, seven day a week channel is a big bite.

[Lawrence]

That's a lot to do.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I have a lot of friends in the YouTube world, you know, that's really where a lot of this automotive.

[Lawrence]

Stuff moved to so much great content.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm going to bring them into the mix and Richard does as well. So we are working on it. So that'll be something you can write about. But it's not. Nothing's done until it's done? Yeah, it's not done yet. So tell me something. I'm reading some things you've done in the past. You drove every generation of Porsche 911.

[Lawrence]

Yeah, this was this great trip. Porsche invited us out to Germany to kind of experience the 911 from its roots. And I am not, I am not a Porsche guy. Like when people talk about 930 and my 964, I'm like, yeah, just tell me what year your Volkswagen is. But it actually gave me a whole, a real serious appreciation for the car and the ability to go back to the roots and drive the really early models. And on an earlier drive, I drove the first Ducktale 9 11. And let me tell you how years that was the ducktail.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like I don't know the numbers either.

[Lawrence]

I got into a lot of arguments about that because the Ducktale was 1972 in Europe and 1973 over here. So I wrote 72 because. And I get about a, I get about a billion angry emails.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, at least they're watching.

[Lawrence]

Yeah, they were, they were paying attention. And you know, I, I found, and you probably know this, you drive a lot of cars. Not everything lives up to the hype. But the first generation 9 11, everybody should have that experience. And I do, I do a lot of our historical stuff. I spend a lot of time reading old issues of Motor Trend. If you look at the magazine, we do a rear view talking about, we were writing about 50 years, 30 years ago. I actually write that it's not byline. So I read a lot of old articles and I couldn't understand why everybody was complaining about power steering. What's so bad about power steering? Well, let me tell you, drove that first generation 911, everything should have non assisted steering. That it is so magical. It's, it's, it's, it's a level of feedback. It's almost impossible to put into words, you know, because a 911 is a car that is actively trying to kill you. Right. Because it's a pendulum. It's the worst. I used to say every new generation of 911 the headline should be the perfection of a 50 year pursuit of a bad idea. Hanging the engine out behind the wheel. But in that 911 you get so much feel, the way it loads up, like you always know where you are, you know how close you are to the limits.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's what's funny about those old cars without power steering is these guys, a lot of people like to swap out the steering wheels. Yes. And when you Swap out the steering wheel on a non power steering. There's a reason those steering wheels were two or three times. Yeah, yeah. Because you get leverage on it.

[Lawrence]

My first old car, I don't know if I should say this on the air, was a Duster, a six cylinder Duster with, with that, with five and a half turns lock to lock and has. It was a slant six. So it's never going to zero to 60 in about two days. But a friend of mine's like, you should do something with the suspension. I said, you don't understand. Cornering speed in a Duster is limited by how fast you can move your hands, you know, because five and a half turns, lock to lock. It takes you an hour to make the turn.

[John Clay Wolf]

You better be rolling.

[Lawrence]

Yeah, you, you have to be moving. As soon as it's dead, stop, you can't move it. But you just take your foot off the brake and let it start to roll.

[John Clay Wolf]

And so I've got a 67442 that's like absolute perfect. Perfect. It's the best one in the world. I do think the cars all over the road.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Perfectly restored. You know, it's one of those deals they probably spent $250,000 restoring. It's perfect. And 70 miles an hour, you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean it's scary.

[Lawrence]

I have an old, I have an old Dodge Polara that I don't drive much. Just a four door pillar sedan with a 318. And yeah, you don't want to be doing much more than about 65, 70 because also it's got non assisted drums and at that point, the brake, you know, you, you, you, you step on the brake in that car and all you hear is laughter.

[John Clay Wolf]

So when you went through all the 911s, what was your fave? Do you remember?

[Lawrence]

The original was quite wonderful. But the first, I should know the number. Everybody's, nobody's, everybody's gonna stop reading me.

[John Clay Wolf]

96.

[Lawrence]

The, the first air cooled 911 really impressed me because it's like so much was changing. That was such a monumental change. To go from air. I'm sorry, the first water cooled 911 to go from air cooled to water.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cooled and it was 98.

[Lawrence]

It was like.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Lawrence]

And it was like Porsche went to such great lengths to tell the, the loyalists that nothing was going to change. We drove the, the turbo version of that car, the high end. This is, this is Porsche's own car. And I just thought that thing was brilliant. It was fast, it was Communicative, but it didn't feel like it was gonna, it was gonna try to, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

So the993 is the last rendition of the air cooled. So it's the car before the one you're talking about. Yes, in the most sought after, in my opinion, 911 within reason is a turbo 993.

[Lawrence]

And I drove that too. And I love that car too. It's just, just end of an era. I had driven, I had driven 1993 when I was an intern at a magazine in Britain and it was a, it was an automatic car. And one of the problems you have when you convert a car to right hand drive is the pedals are offset and the pedal offset was really terrible. In that right hand drive 993 the gas pedal is almost dead center, the brake is where the clutch is. And I'm assuming you've driven a993 so you know they have great brakes and every single person including myself got in the car because at the time in early 90s in Britain there are no automatics. They just don't exist. You know, there's a handful of them. We all did the same thing, pulled out on the main road, goose the gas and then stepped on the clutch to shift into second gear. And thankfully we all did this early in the morning when there was nobody behind.

[John Clay Wolf]

First big car I ever bought, bought in my career was in 98 probably and it was a 97993 Turbo Porsche.

[Lawrence]

That's a hell of a way to start.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was a hell of a way to start and I gave 115,000 for this car and my hands were shaking. I was just scared to death because I had to sell the car back then you write a draft and a draft is a bank draft. So you're at the dealership and they're trading for this car and I gave 115,000 for it. I wrote a hot check for 115 grand is the long short. So they take the draft envelope and on the outside it looks like a check. And then they wait and they put the title in it. And then they send it through the banking system. It shows up at the other end and the bank calls you and says you have a draft in and you have three days to pay for it. So I write a draft for this car and I know I probably have 10 days, maybe more, but the minimum amount, I've got 10 days to sell this thing.

[Lawrence]

Were you out looking for the mailman so you could like trip Him?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, because, well, the, you know, the bank, once you get the call, you've got three days to pay for it or they'll kick the draft. And if you, if they, if you get draft kicked on you in the business I'm in, then your money's no good and you lose all your credibility. So I was, I was deathly scared. But I got that car sold and it made five grand in. I sold it three days later. So I sold it before. So then I had a, I had a, I wrote a purchase draft for 115 and I had a sold draft for 120. And then you go down to the bank and the draft shows up and you give them the sold draft and they take the title, you reassign it and they deposit and I got immediate credit on drafts, which means when I put that 120 in, my balance went up 120, which covers the 115 that's coming out. So. Talk about a high wire act. And this is, this is why car dealers, especially wholesalers, have bad reputations because they do that. And I'm sitting here with Aaron Gold from Motor Trend, senior editor. But you know, it was, it was such. That's why those car dealers are in such a hurry.

[Lawrence]

See, this is why you're smarter than I am. Because you got paid five grand to drive a 911 for a week. I get paid 15 an hour to drive a 911.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'll tell you this, I didn't drive enough 911 per week. I put it in the car, I put it in the garage, I closed.

[Lawrence]

The door and nobody didn't touch it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I had to get this son of a sold. Now.

[Lawrence]

Well, and that's the amazing thing about this job because like these are Porsche's own cars. They're museum cars, right?

[David]

And they're like, yes, go drive, go drive.

[Lawrence]

I just made a Russian. But yeah, we did the same thing. We drove old Lamborghini.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't be a racist.

[Lawrence]

Yeah, no, no, yeah, I was gonna say. But we, we did say we drew old Lamborghinis. That was the pinnacle, I think. And this is Lamborghini's own collection. And we were following them in a line and they were not, this was not a slow drive around the park. They were like, they were going like. We had to run the daylights out of these things to keep up with these guys because they're Italian.

[John Clay Wolf]

Adam Carollo will be here in a minute. He's an old Lamborghini queer. I use that term, not this is what I said, you know, your Porsche, Porsche queer, truck queer. And that means that you like them, you're all into it. Right. And he can talk about. He had a couple of Yelpas.

[Lawrence]

I love that. Okay, so we did an exclusive. And again, this is another one where I knew nothing about old Lamborghinis. And there's a great writer and historian named Ken Gross who's a just a really, really nice guy. And he told me the books to read and helped me bone up on my Lamborghini history. I saw, I did an audition. I don't know if he'll remember, but ages ago I did an audition at Adam Carolla's garage with him and saw his GTs.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Lawrence]

But we did an exclusive. Say that. A bunch of cars for a bunch of journalists. We had an exclusive with the Yelpa and I was working with a historian. I'm gonna get his name wrong. I think it's Massimo Delbo. And the way he described the Yalpa is he said, if you know, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Lawrence]

And boy, I, I, that is, I'm sorry, I'm running out of words, which is not good because I'm a writer. But that car is just so brilliant. It's its own thing. It's, it's different from every Lamborghini. I love that Yalpa. And nobody wanted them because it was all the Wall street flyboys wanted. Countaches.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. You know, all right, we've got to go. We've got to go to the Lightning round. It's coming up. I'm sitting here with Aaron Gold from Motor Trend. He's a senior editor. He probably, if, if you're a car nut, you've read, you've read his stuff. We're having a beers and coffee. Cars and coffee and beer. Cars and stars is what we call it. Bring your star car up here. We're at the, at the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas, California. It's 8 o' clock here. The cars are already starting to show up. Guys, if you're listening around the LA area, jump in, bring them up. We've got the parking lot roped off next to the farmers market and it's gonna be a great day here at the Sagebrush. Adam Kroll is gonna join me for a couple hours on the air and then he and I are gonna walk out. Look at these cars with you guys. Lightning rounds coming up. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. Call in right now during this music break and I'll Bid the cars as soon as we come back.

[Amir]

Now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com hit him up right now. 1, 800, 800 radio. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

And this is the Lightning round, sponsored by America's best car buyer. Givemetheven.com Kurt, in Memphis, Tennessee, you've got a 64 Corvair Spider. Were they all turbos back then? No, they weren't. Was this one aftermarket turbo or factory turbo? It was factory turbo and it's actually Canadian Corvair. Did they make a US Turbo version? Because I just never heard the turbo with Corvair. Sorry. It's actually called Spider, which is the turbo. So all the Spiders are turbos. Okay. So I now, now I'm familiar. So there's, there's some 20 granders out there that the guys spent 70,000 restoring. There's a handful of tens and there's a whole bunch of threes and fours on the money. I don't know what you have. It says some small bubbling on the back quarter. I had one the other day. We gave four grand for and sold it for five. And I had one five years ago that we gave four grand for and sold it for five. And I had one 20 years ago that we gave four grand for and sold it for five. So my, my knee jerk reaction is want to offer four grand. That's what I figured. Yeah, I'm looking, you know, I, I told the fella I actually bought it about 10 years ago for $10,000. And I was looking to get like, I'd love to get six out of it. Yeah, he had some Corvair mirrors on it. And I put, I took my mirrors off my 63 and put the mirrors on this one so that it's got the Corvair mirrors. But other than that, everything that I can tell is original in it. Put me down, put me down for four. But load it up into gmtvcc, which is, give me the VIN Classic collector. And my guy Kyle will get on that one and he will inspect it and let's see if we can get closer to your six. And I'm going to compare that one, the specs and the photos of those ones I was telling you about that we sold for five. I can't give you six and sell it for five. You know that. Right, right, exactly. Yeah, I understand that. I can. It happens too often, but I try to avoid that on the front side. So, yeah, go load it up into GMCV. GMTV. Give me the Ben. Classiccollector.com we'll get after it. Andy. Speaking of old cars, you've got a 85 380sl 62,000 miles. Odo isn't moving so it's TMU selling for an estate. They want 20 but it's worth four. It's worth four. Yeah. These, these cars are like these corvairs. I mean they just. I can't tell you how many of these cars I've sold for five grand. Now I don't know the specifics of yours. I don't know if the air works. I don't know if the tops in good shape. I don't know what the paint quality is. But the spread like the better you talk it up the closer it's getting to seven grand tops. Right. It's in absolutely perfect condition. It's one. One owner. No, no issues whatsoever. They have a file full of maintenance. I mean it's very well garage kept. Very well taken care of. Yeah. Then it sounds like it could be the 7 grainer but if they want 24, you know, a 560 SL, I mean I sold a good 560 with 60000 miles on it for 14 grand last week in the 563rd. Tail lights, the one that's highly desirable. You know the 8,788. Right. The, the 380sls they just. Will people give 10 grand for them? They damn sure will. But that's retail and that's not what I deal and I deal on the cash market. The cash market on that car is 5 to 7,000. Okay. All right man. Go, go to give me the ben.com. load it up if you want to sell it. Thank you very much everybody else. Ken and Temple. The 23 Colorado with 20 we loaded into givemetheven.com. kenny there me. Yeah, I'm here. Just load it in the website because I've got to go. I gotta go to break everybody. Mark and Manassas. I see this $150,000. Rick Hendricks Motorsports you want 150 grand for? Load it into givemetheven.com Charlie in Tennessee, your Kia. Please load it into givemetheven dot com and anybody else we're going to take a quick break. Be right back. We're live on location. The Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas, California. We're doing a car meet greet cars and stars car show today. Adam Carolla is going to be my co host here. He'll be here in about 30 minutes. And I'll be right back.

[Amir]

Now back to the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm on vacation every single day. Cause I love my occupation. Everybody, we're back. Good morning. I'm giving you California time. 8:35 in the morning. Because that's where I am in the Sagebrush Cantina. We're doing a car gathering. Adam Kroll is gonna be here in a little bit. And I've got Steve Goldfield. This is gonna be a more car y kind of show this morning because that's kind of like what we did at Gas Monkey in Dallas a month ago. Steve Goldfield, it looks like you're one of the grandfathers of cars and coffee. Are you?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

One of the. God, no.

[Adam Carolla]

Grandfather. I'll check it.

[John Clay Wolf]

How about. How about Godfather?

[Adam Carolla]

I like grandfather. That's not bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

I did turn 80, believe it or not.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I'm sitting here looking at your bio, man. I mean, Gumball 3006 times all over the world. Gold Rush rally, Goldfinger fuel run to Monterey Corsa rally, long run rally run to Monaco. Ferrari rallies, players run. I mean, he's done it all, almost. What's next? Road to Monterey. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Actually, Motor, that's the gumball. I put that on for Gumball 3000. And we have about 50 Gumball 3000 cars meet in Santa Monica. And we do drive up there, and they're all stickered. I mean, these are actual Gumball 3000 rally cars. And we take our drive up to Monterey and then end up at the gumball house and various parties and events.

[John Clay Wolf]

And. What's your driving record look like? Not bad.

[Adam Carolla]

I haven't gotten a ticket in a couple three years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really? So Dennis Collins, do you know who he is?

[Adam Carolla]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

He is a. He's a car enthusiast. Richard Rollins from Gas Monkey, if you ever remember that show. And Dennis, he was on that show, and. And they're both into it, and they held the. I think they held the gumball record for a while. Like 10 years until Ed. Vin Wickenocked them all.

[Adam Carolla]

I think you're thinking of Cannonball Run.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're exactly right.

[Adam Carolla]

And I actually started the Cannonball run rally in 2015. Which you didn't have on there. Okay, we did. But not the Cannonball that we. Even though we have the trademark.

[John Clay Wolf]

Didn't they run from New York to Long Beach?

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. No, to actual Redondo Beach. You see, this all ties in because my Zuma cars and coffee.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Ends up at the finish line for Cannonball Run. The actual finish line.

[John Clay Wolf]

So they were in a Marinello. Yeah. And Richard and Dennis and they broke the record. And he told me the truth about how they did it. They didn't cheat. But. But the level of intensity.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the seven different license plates and switching them just like the movie. And the. The CBs and the P stations and the extra fuel cells in the back and the. The crazy amount of electronics he said they averaged. Did he tell me they averaged 130 miles an hour?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, at least. That's not bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hell, do you do that and not get tickets?

[Adam Carolla]

Helicopters, spotters.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Yeah. So does the law know you're coming and they help.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, they don't advertise it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

They don't advertise that they're about to do a Cannonball Run. Otherwise they're gonna have, like from the movie. You'll have Jackie Gleason all the way through.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Right to the end, right? Yeah. But what I did, I didn't put on that Cannonball.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

We did the Cannonball Rally. Cannonball Run rally. And our first one was from Massachusetts. Lenox, Massachusetts, to Havana, Cuba. So we were the first ones to ever.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you have a rally, you ran to a ferry boat and you ferried over to the Cuba.

[Adam Carolla]

Actually, we couldn't do that. So it was more of a luxury rally. So it wasn't a race. But we ended at Key west on Duval Street. That was our finish line, about 70 cars. And then the next day, we had hired two 737s to take us to Havana, Cuba, for our after party for two days. And we did that. Everyone was nervous. I wasn't, because I'd been there a couple of times. They're on the plane, and I'm telling people on the plane, all right, we're about to land in Havana, and they're all worried about Castro, and all for good reason. Oh, yeah. And so I'm. But I'm scaring him worse. And when you get out of the plane, go directly to immigration, show them your passport and your visa. Once you can get through that, pick up your bags, go into the parking lot, and you'll see the big Cannonball Run buses. So they did. And they're all okay, right? Oh, yeah. So they go in the parking lot, and no buses. There's crowd. They had no idea they were freaking out. But I hired a.50 1950s cars with our Cannonball Run logos on the windshield to pick them up. So they had no clue that that was happening. They all thought they were stranded in Havana.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did you do with. I mean, everybody listening. They're hearing all this crazy stuff in these exotic cars. What was your business growing up? How did you make a living strong enough to be able to do this in your later years?

[Adam Carolla]

Well, now that I'm doing a cars and coffee, I started out parking cars in Hollywood.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Which was fun. At the Continental Hotel. We're talking about a couple of my friends. But.

[John Clay Wolf]

But you had to have a big living somewhere to be able to live like this.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, no, I'm a high school dropout.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mean, what business were you in? Oh, well, how did you make your money?

[Adam Carolla]

I became a stockbroker. I decided to make some money and become a stockbroker. No idea what I was doing, but became. Made a bit of money from it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. Well, I mean, you had to. To be able to do what you're doing now. This is not. This is not a sport for. It's expensive. Right.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, but then I opened a mortgage company, which still. Actually, it's across the street from here. It's still here to this day.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, my son runs it, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, no, it's.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's.

[Adam Carolla]

That's how we did it. And I don't think I've ever seen. I'm. No, not at all. I've never made any money from the cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Of course not. No, I'm asking you how you made your money to be able to do what you love.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. It's just the money in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. So it's like people that are in the race horses or people in there and what? Horses are just as bad? Almost.

[Adam Carolla]

And I had them.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. So, you know. Yeah, so. So stock brokerage in the mortgage. Okay. Yeah. And you. The cars and coffee, this. This trend has, you know, gotten out of hand almost.

[Adam Carolla]

You have no idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I really don't. Yeah, tell me about it.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, so, well, the cars and coffee has been going on pretty much since around 2005. Started with my friend Dusty at Supercar Sunday, which is now over at Pierce College.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

And that's where I got involved with the cars and coffee. There was a point in Malibu where at the Civic center, there was an event every Sunday. There were like 3, 4, 500 exotic cars would show up and just fill the parking lot. And city of Malibu did not want us there. This was not my event, by the way. Not then. They didn't want us there. And so they kept finding ways to kick us out. And they couldn't. Till finally they said, okay, valet parking only. That was the end of It. So I got pissed off because I like going to my Sunday event. So I drive up the coast, I see Zuma parking lot. I go, oh, this would be nice for cars and coffee, right? So two weeks later, at 300 cars there. And we did that for three months until the county said, we don't want you here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, the country market, they shut that one down too.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, that was the shut. Yeah, that's the one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

The country market, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but you had Leno showing up and you had Seinfeld showing up. Everybody when you did that, we were peaceful, though, Right? But I mean, everybody's gonna show up.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, that's true. And then we moved to Killer Shrimp Marina Del Rey and then.

[John Clay Wolf]

Which is a cool place.

[Adam Carolla]

We were there for a year and a half. And then there's.

[John Clay Wolf]

So they just didn't like all the business. I mean, think about the. The business that these guys are generating off of that 500 people. It was just too much. And they ran you off.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, no, they love us at Killer Shrimp.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

It was the county, the same county that stopped us at Zuma, okay. Told Killer Shrimp, no more car events. Because there's another group that had a McLaren that came out, smashed into three.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cars, fixing to say, oh, have you seen the Instagram. The Instagram file that is cars leaving events. And it shows everybody wrecking. They cannot not stand to get on it when they're leaving. And one out of a hundred of them lose it and hit the curb.

[Adam Carolla]

We have never had that problem.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really.

[Adam Carolla]

We keep. Oh, we're. We're good at policing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Telling me about one that took out three cars.

[Adam Carolla]

That wasn't my event. Say whose it was, but it was another group that put on. They had the greatest location. It was in Pacific Palisades. Greatest location. And some idiot in his McLaren. Middle aged guy. I can say middle aged. Can I tell that? Because I'm. At any rate. So he pulls out and he's speeding down in the middle. Hits. I don't know what happened. He hits the center divider, almost hits a motorcycle cop, then spins over into parked cars. It's three parked cars. And this is all caught on YouTube video. It went viral. Of course it did.

[John Clay Wolf]

And.

[Adam Carolla]

But that was. The county said, okay, no more car events, which included us. And that's how we ended up in Redondo beach at the Redondo Beach Marina. And they love us there. I have room for a thousand cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go. Yeah. So you found your home.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah. But it's still called Zuma Cars and coffee.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

So people say, if you're Zuma, Carson, what in the hell are you doing in redundancy?

[John Clay Wolf]

I love going to Zuma and taking the kids over there. And the waves right there on that beach are perfect. We're on the air with Steve Goldfield, one of the godfathers of cars and coffee and all these rallies. And I want to understand a little bit more before. Mike, how much time do we have left? Okay, actually, we are going to go to break. We're out of time. We've got to take a music break. And then we're going to come back. We're on classic rockers all over. You're on in Florida, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Houston. We're all over the country right now. We'll be right back with a little bit more of this. And I want to talk more about how you speak speed for a thousand miles and pull it off the details. Give me the gory.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, like gumball.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, you're gonna love this. That's a whole other world.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll be right back. Give me the bed.

The John Clay Wolf Show, America's largest weekend morning show. 800, 800 radio. And check out the [e-mail]. and now, Senor Juan Clay Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, guys. California listeners, especially LA, Northern LA, we're in Calabasas right now if you want to bring your car down. We're at the Sagebrush Cantina. Adam Kroll is on his way up. He's going to join the show in a minute. There's a car gathering going up up here. And I've got the godfather of car gatherings for SoCal, Steve Goldfield. Zuma Cars and Coffee is on the air with us. Thank you for coming, Steve. And you know, he's done every rally, everything, all over the place. And what I really want to know is let's use gumball. What are the top three cars that you think are the most effective cars to win a gumball rally?

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, first of all, I have to explain. A gumball rally is not what you think it is. It's not a race.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's do Cannonball ish style, okay?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, okay. No, but gumball is particularly. You want to know it's not a race. Even though some people maybe get up to over 200 miles an hour and gumball never was.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, all right.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I didn't know that.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. But some people do go over 200 miles an hour. All right, Gumball, that's known to been happen, but it's not promoted by gumball. It's because it's more of a high end international party on wheels with cars, some of them worth several million dollars. Go 3,000 miles. Okay, I'm. I mean, I've done Sweden to Las Vegas. I've done.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's a rally, it's not a race. Yeah, it's different.

[Adam Carolla]

And that's the first thing they say on that. It's a rally, not a race.

[John Clay Wolf]

That makes sense. So let's talk about races. Because a good friend of mine, he and his, his bud, they're both friends of mine, he's got his time tattooed on his arm and he won the Cannonball and they did it in a Marinello I for 575. I forgot which one.

[Adam Carolla]

Probably.

[John Clay Wolf]

But what would be your top three cars if you wanted to win a Cannonball style race across the country?

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, that's a hard one. You've got to get. Have room for extra gas tanks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

That's one thing right there. You've got to have. I'm a pilot also. So you have to have toiletries. You gotta have toiletries.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right, right. Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

You gotta have a catheter relief tube. That's what we have up here. No, relief tube. That's. You have to have that and of course, you know, snacks and stuff. And then you'll have to have. So in the car. It almost doesn't matter what car because if you're going to average like these other fellows, 130, 135 miles an hour. That's slow for the cars these days, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, you know, our cars now, they do 200 miles. It's not a biggie.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's more about the equipment in the. Yeah. So tell, tell us, educate us. How do you do it?

[Adam Carolla]

I mean, you could take an SUV and do it. It doesn't have to be anything fancy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so. So how do you win?

[Adam Carolla]

Go fast, don't get caught. But you have to have spotters.

[John Clay Wolf]

How do you. Spotters.

[Adam Carolla]

You have spotters. You have, you could have. You got the money. You got helicopters, you have spotters, you have people that are way up ahead of you. A whole radio system. It's a, it's a real art to do that and people can do it. The. But once. Here's the problem. Once it's known throughout the police force, throughout the country, then they have radios which are faster than your cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

So they can radio ahead. So there is also a matter of the route.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Adam Carolla]

So you have to have your route plan. Yeah, yeah. At least. Because you can't it can't be just on the highway.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotcha.

[Adam Carolla]

Now we're, we're just going to take Highway 10 across.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not gonna work.

[Adam Carolla]

No, that's not gonna work. Yeah, but it's not more complicated than that. So it's a helicopter guts to do it of course.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is the helicopter guy calling down to the car and telling them route are they all pre planned route ABCD say hey you've got some blockage up here.

[Adam Carolla]

Go D. Yeah, pretty much.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

So in other words if you get really sophisticated you can do it in but it's now it's I, I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it now I'm not that good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well I mean it sounds like just a hellacious ridiculous. The way Dennis Collins explained it to me I couldn't believe what I was hearing. And literally the license plate changing they.

[Adam Carolla]

Mean it's been known to happen.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was telling me he had seven license plates and, and the, the radio system and the fuel cells and the in the. It just doesn't end because if you're gonna win this you're not stopping to eat. You're not stopping. You have to stop for fuel a few times but it's just balls to the wall. Averaging 137 miles an hour over what time frame is is was like that run from.

[Adam Carolla]

I don't know. I couldn't answer that. But that's not fast. But that's an average.

[John Clay Wolf]

But that's real fast for an average. I mean that means they were doing 2:10 at sometimes of course or more than that.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, true.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what car would you pick? Just name one.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, okay. Well I have to also say they're not going to put stickers on their cars. They're not going to you know, Cannonball rally.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, gumball or any. They're not going to do that because. Because that then they're going to be seen. I know I've been through that before. What car? I don't know because I wouldn't, I don't have the guts to do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because Dennis swears by that Marinello he says that's the one to do.

[Adam Carolla]

That would be a good car to do definitely. But again the Marinella doesn't have that much room for an extra gas tank. He's still going to have to stop.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

The Ferraris, I mean I'm a Ferrari owner for a long, long time having many they, they have a limited range, you know, so maybe a couple hundred miles you can go 250, whatever. But that's.

[John Clay Wolf]

So if you were gonna make a race like this across the country, a Cannonball style race, as we call it, and you had the spotters, you did the whole system. Just throw a number out there.

[Adam Carolla]

What, you think you're gonna persist at this, aren't you?

[John Clay Wolf]

What a guy's gonna spend.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, what I'm gonna spend.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. 120 helicopters the whole route.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, the helicopters are gonna be more than that. That's. That's expensive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you've got to have one or have a friend that's got one.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, and you do. But that's expensive.

[John Clay Wolf]

So this is 150,000 mile or $150,000 ordeal.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, easy, easy. I would say easy if you're going to do all the spotters and do it right, because now you're talking about a crew. You're not talking about just one or two people in a car just speeding all the way across.

[John Clay Wolf]

And what percent mean when people get hit going 180, they lose their cars?

[Adam Carolla]

It depends. It's up to the cop.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's happened.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, sure, I've almost lost my car before. I mean, it was just. It was on another rally, but I was doing, oh, I think about 160 or so going from Arizona into Vegas, Over. Oh, God. Well, going there. And then there was a cop there that was known for being a real hard ass. Oh, God.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And he stopped me and he. First thing he said, and he got me on the radar.

[John Clay Wolf]

He.

[Adam Carolla]

He had his radar set up to where when he knew I was coming, he turned it on so my radar detector did not work. He stops and he's yelling at me. He says, I want you to tell me how fast you're going. And if you lie to me, you're going to jail. Now the jail there's the one with tents and pink underwear.

[John Clay Wolf]

That guy? Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, yeah, that guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've heard about that guy.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I almost went there. So I said I was doing 150, 160 at least. I don't know. He said okay. He actually, he gave me a ticket. I got my ticket and that's fine, but he let me go. So I take off from there and. And then he's giving someone that was behind me a ticket also. He pulled them over, too. And as I leave, once he's out of sight, I poured on the gas again. All of a sudden the black SUV is coming up behind me with the blue lights on the bumper. You couldn't tell. And he. And he was gonna, he was just Doing to scare me. He knew I just got pulled over. So then he went. I slowed down. He went on. At any rate, it's so you can go to jail. It's really mostly up to the cops.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[Adam Carolla]

It's. And if you're nice to them, whatever. Some of them are impressed. Some of them just want to see the car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. I got caught going pretty fast one time. I was very lucky that the officer was a show fan.

[Adam Carolla]

Okay. Oh yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Very, very lucky. And I was an Audi R8 which is a car that'll do it really all any car needs to do. But yeah, it's easy to go fast. I stay out of them for the most part. I love the cars. I look at them. I'll cruise them around a little bit. But I don't drive them because I cannot not go fast.

[Adam Carolla]

I know. Well there's other factors. Like you take gumball. Okay. We did Sweden to Las Vegas which sounds weird but. Oh yeah it is. We started in Stockholm, Sweden at the King's residence. Right. Right on the bridge, 120 cars, 100,000 people in the street to see us off.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Adam Carolla]

I mean it's a big event and we leave there before there. We had the. The park party or yeah, I'm sorry the we've the party the night before that. Well I had several martinis, let's put it that way but I'm driving a gold Rolls Royce Phantom drop head done by west coast customs. They made the whole thing gold look like solid gold. But we're at the driver's meeting and the chief of police there is there telling us how it's zero tolerance for alcohol. Point one or above you go to jail automatic. And also speeding and like that. So. But I figure I'm in a Rolls Royce so I'll be okay. No one's gonna stop me. Well, we get out of the.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know you like the chican Cannonball run. Did you have to where you were in a chic outfit?

[Adam Carolla]

I didn't, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Adam Carolla]

I actually had a Roman warrior outfit myself and my co pilot. Okay. Yeah. For whatever reason I don't know why we did that but okay, so we're.

[John Clay Wolf]

I have a hard out and super syndicated across the country and at the top of the hour it knocks us off because it's got to do ID so I have to break right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning, everybody. We're sitting here at Sagebrush Cantina, Calabasas, California. I'm sitting here with Steve Goldfield, godfather of the Cars and Coffee movement. And we've been talking about racing cars across the country. But you have a story about the.

[Adam Carolla]

LA police, kind of the Zuma riots.

[John Clay Wolf]

What'd they do? What happened?

[Adam Carolla]

Okay, so I put on Zuma Cars and Coffee. As I mentioned before, we got kicked out of Zuma. Whatever. We kept the name. We're now in Redondo Beach Marina, first Sunday of every month. There's my plug. Okay, good. Every Sunday, but before that happens. And actually this is just a few months ago during the campus riots that were going on. Okay, so we had. I was. Well, we had the lapd. We got Zuma Cars and coffee. A bunch of us went downtown skid row and we rioted against the lapd.

[David]

Okay, okay.

[Adam Carolla]

We called the Sumo Riot. So I have about. And it's on. It's on our site, on our website, on YouTube, whatever. So I've got maybe 75 people behind me and we're all going Zuma, Zuma. You know, just for a bunch of old guys that want to put on a Cars and coffee. We keep getting kicked out. And then. And so they have the helicopter, the mounted police, they have the, the riot police there, you know, hitting less than lethal. And we're going back and forth and is everybody laughing? Oh, it was hilarious. Okay, it was funny. It was funny.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sounds like a stage.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, then I have my friends calling up. So you know, we're friends of the police. What are you doing? Trying to piss us off? Piss them off. Well, what it Was is the Ferrari club invited us to or the LAPD invited the Ferrari club to come do practice riots against them. We took the. And it was a real riot. I mean, I got hit with Less than lethal and all that, and we're going Zuma, Zuma, and it was hilarious, but. And then the next night they went over to USC and broke up that encampment.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sounds like a South park ep.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, it was hilarious. We had the. We had like 10 of the mounted police. We had the helicopter. They're burning. They put a set of car on fire, and we're on skid row with, you know, Ferraris and stuff. At any rate, that was that part.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's great.

[Adam Carolla]

I. I have stuff, but yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. J.D. are you there?

[J.D. Ryan]

I am. I am, yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hi. Are you back?

[David]

I'm.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good.

[Adam Carolla]

Morning.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, good morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

The. The crowd is showing up. It's looking good around.

[J.D. Ryan]

It sounds like. It sounds like everybody.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wish you guys could be here with me.

[J.D. Ryan]

Interactive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I heard there's some jelly roll on him being the gold digger, not his wife. What? I. I don't want to do a jelly roll impersonation. He. He's done so much good lately. I think I need to quit bagging on jelly roll.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, actually, people have brought up the fact that, you know, his wife was a porn star and she's a gold digger. And he's like, not really. In fact, when we met, it was completely different. This is cut number nine.

[John Clay Wolf]

My wife grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[David]

My wife was a high end escort her whole life. That's what she did.

[John Clay Wolf]

When I met her, I was broke. I was living in a 1996 van.

[J.D. Ryan]

Literally didn't have a house.

[John Clay Wolf]

And this woman has like two condos.

[David]

And a few sports cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's so funny now, the Internet, when I won these awards are like, gold digger.

[David]

I was like, I was the gold digger.

[John Clay Wolf]

This woman had so much money, you.

[J.D. Ryan]

Would just wonder what would attract her to him at that point. Because he's not exactly hot boy. He's a big fat boy. He's lost a lot of weight, but come on, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, speaking of LA riots, Trump made LA traffic much better with illegals hiding from ice. Cut too. I gotta hear this.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, this is on Fox News. They have a show called the Five and a guy named Jesse Matt Waters, in case you don't watch it, he noticed how Los Angeles traffic is much lighter recently. Why you ask? Cut to.

[David]

I don't know if you guys seen this. People are showing what Google Maps looks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like in l A now that all the illegals are hiding from ice, there's no traffic on the freeway. You can go on the 405 and you go 65 miles an hour. Trump has literally reduced traffic in Los Angeles and Democrats are complaining. These guys are obviously not broadcasting from LA. Is that true? Plenty of traffic on 405.

[J.D. Ryan]

Is there the 405. It's just them stirring it up. It's Fox. What do you want? They're stirring it up.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's another Trump story. I mean, this is amazing too, that Bob was out and all of a sudden there's a lot more positive. We should wait till Corolla gets up here so we can hear his take on it. This will give him fodder to get rolling. He can't help himself.

[J.D. Ryan]

Just bringing the next 800.

[John Clay Wolf]

800, 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio Mark and Manassas. I, I was saying earlier, a 10 Rick Hendrick motorsport edition Camaro. I don't, I don't know the car personally, but I, I don't know a world that I would live in where that car is worth 150 grand. Can you tell me about some comps that would make sense? What do you want to know? I wanted some, some sales that are at 150 grand on a car that's like yours. Comparable sales, okay, comparable sales would be number 25, which was the last car built that belongs to Jimmy Johnson, which was sold for $248,000. But if they're sold as a charity car, it doesn't count. I understand that, but I had a conversation with the people at Callaway a couple of weeks ago and they said, what would you like for the car? I said, I don't know, a buck 50, a buck 60. And they said, that's a fair price for that car. And today they write a check. No, they don't buy their cars back. They just said it was a fair price. Well, I called. Let me tell you a quick story. We bought a prototype, Shelby, I think, in 2002 or 2012. I forgot the GT350. And it was the first one and Carol breathed all over it and he took it home. And it was when they were getting that car ready and we gave 170,000 for it. Shelby told us that that's a fair price. It'll probably bring 200. I was not involved in this conversation or I would have stopped the transaction. My buyer bought it and he had some other people that were giving him great advice like you just got. And I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just telling my experience. We sold that car, Barrett, Jackson, West Palm, three months ago, two months ago for $110,000. And after paying the $10,000 sale fee, we lost $73,000 based off of everybody's good advice. And this is why I'm such a jerk. Because when it comes down to the same car. No, no, no, no, no. I'm just telling a story about a car where Shelby and everybody told me we were ripping it and it was great. And this thing's too cheap. And you're right. I mean, you need to buy it. Well, the open market spoke, and we lost 72 grand. So I got to watch out with these things. So let me get familiar with yours. Go to get. Go, go to givemetheven.com and load it up and let me, let me research it. Let me, let me. Let me get smarter. Because I don't know this one off the. Off the hit off the cuff. And I'm not in the mood to blow 50 grand. I can tell you that. 800, 800. Seven two, three, four. 800, 800 radio Mike, is it time to get a break? You got two minutes. Yes, we got two minutes. You can call in during the. During the break right now and load up for your cars if you, if you want me to bid some cars. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio Adam Carolla just got here.

[David]

Can I get my food? Consenting adults with their groins on fire.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nothing wrong with that nursery.

[Amir]

Now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com this is the John Clay Wolf Show.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what were you saying? You said that you called it years ago, they need to quit building these American cars and start building real cars.

[David]

So I used to interview, like the Ring brothers and, and those, those kind of guys all the. The time. And I would always say, I've always liked European cars. I like Japanese cars and that kind of stuff. And they would always do these big time, you know, skip Foo stuff, you know, and they would start off with a Chevelle or Fairlane or some big pile of American junk, right? And it looked like junk. And I know you guys are car guys, but come on, those, that's. That's big, crappy American junk, but they Would do it because they could. Could get it for four grand, tear the whole thing down, you know, dip it and put 250 into it. But I would always say, if you started off with something that had a great shape, like a Ferrari Dino or even a 240Z or something that had a shape to it that was nice, then imagine what the end result would look like. And now, I mean, like I said, start off with an old Lamborghini or something and nobody would do it because who's going to pay 500 grand for a car and then tear it apart and then do it, tear into it again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[David]

So. But Bruce Kennepa started doing it with some ferraris and BMW M1 and stuff like that. And a lot of these guys are now starting off.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are they keeping them originally? Resto mod?

[David]

No, they're. They're resto modding. But the, the actual car, there's guys that are doing it with the, like, they're doing what Singer does, like with Z cars and stuff like that. There's a Volvo version of it, roof and stuff like that. But what I'm saying is, is they're starting with a cool jumping off point, Something that already was a sports car. Something that's cool, not a crappy American sedan from the early 70s. And then trying to get it to look cool. That's the difference. That's why the end product is a lot better now.

[John Clay Wolf]

And have we seen auction block results?

[David]

Yeah, well, I think Singer kind of led the way, you know, I mean, I met the Singer guy a million years ago up on Mulholland. I was doing like a photo shoot or something. He came by and his modified 911 as like 15 years ago. And he was explaining to me like what the business plan was. And at the time it was just like, take a 911 that, you know, breathed on with rims and a rear view mirror and stuff. Be like 30 grand. He's like, I want to sell it for 250. I was like, nobody's gonna buy it. It's not, that's not a business plan. And then they're a million bucks now. So Singer kind of said, if you build it right, it will get, it'll get the money. And, and those Resto mods and all that kind of stuff never did get the money. But now like a lot those of Corvettes are getting all the money.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, the million dollar. Yeah, the million. What's the guy's name that got the Riddler last year?

[David]

I. Well, I. I know comedian Kevin hart. Spent like 650k for. For a Corvette. It's just.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're.

[David]

They're starting to. The Kendigot guys, that's what I'm. I mean those guys are starting to realize that there's money if it's built right. I think the Singer kind of opened the door to it. But there's a lot of other companies that are doing the Singer version of the Z. There's like an old Volvo coupe they're doing it on. There's a few different ones they're doing on. And it's kind of nice cuz it's the shape of that car. That iconic car you remember with all the guts of a new car outside we've got everything.

[John Clay Wolf]

We've got the 34 hot rods, we've got the million dollar Ferraris, we got. I haven't been outside yet but you guys have been telling me there's a lot of cars outside here at Sagebrush. Sagebrush Cantina, Calabasas, California. This guy with the non distinctive voice, his name's Adam Corolla, he's done a little bit of radio in the past.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you need. If you need pointers. I know it's been a while. I can help you out. You do a little comedy. You're going to be at the Laugh Factory in Covina tonight.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Second show's not sold out yet.

[David]

Right. 9:30 show. Still some tickets left to that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then we're going to Chicago next Wednesday after the auction. And you're playing some deal in Chicago.

[David]

I'm doing a show in Chicago and then we're going to Road America. We're going to Elkhart Lake. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you are going to race what class?

[David]

I don't even know exactly what class it is. I'm bringing up of Datsun 510 kind of with some real history to it. It's. It's a really cool kind of piece. It would race in the 2.5 Trans Am series like back in the very early 70s. And it's got. You can put different drummer 510 that what you're looking at is John Morton's BRE 510 there. But this is the same car you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Had at Laguna last year.

[David]

No, I. I raced a roadster at Laguna last year. This coupe, this A510. You're looking at a couple of five tens up there. But you gotta ride in different drummer and I think that'll. It'll pop up but it's a. It's a cool vintage piece. There's only a Few of those what they call brass tag cars that an actual brass tag from, from back in the day in the 2.5 Trans AM series. This series went out and ran before the pony car Trans Am series. So the small bore Series, Alfa Romeo GTAs, GTVs and 510s and things like that, they would go out and run and then the main event would be the Mustangs and the Camaros and the Trans Am series series as. As we know it, you know, late 60s Trans Am series.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I got a question. Since we're geeking out on cars a little hard, we gotta remember we're on FM stations all over the country. They're not all into this when you're doing your comment, but everybody likes to laugh when you're doing your comedy stuff. What are hot buttons right now? That, that are crowd pleasers.

[David]

I've been starting off with the P. Diddy trial.

[John Clay Wolf]

I called it. I can't. Can. I don't know what your position was on. I knew he was going to get off. It's just a bunch of. I mean, everybody just. I mean, prostitution's been going on for years. I said, he's going to get banged on prostitution and the girls might get picked up for it too, but he's not going down for them being horse.

[David]

I interviewed Sammy the Bull Gravano, the mobster on my podcast the other day and I said, sammy, racketeering? And he like, no, we did racketeering. What he got, that's not racketeering. I was like, yeah, all right. Well, he would know, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

So.

[David]

No, I, I know. I. I think the problem is they should have just focused on a couple of things and, you know, they should have choked up and gone for a double. Instead, they swung for a home run and struck out.

[John Clay Wolf]

They swung for a grand slam.

[David]

Oh, yeah, they swing for a grand slam. Although I don't think swinging for a grand slam is any different than swinging for a home run, technically, but. All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

But they had some, they had some runners on base. Yes, that's my point.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they, they could have just like, like you said. So how do you think the sentencing will go? Because I really don't know.

[David]

I don't know. I'm. I'm very good friends with Mark Garrigus, attorney, and his daughter Tenney is on that case. I went to her wedding and everything. She's just, she's a total sweetheart, by the way. So I don't know, I should, I should hit her up and, you know, see if she knows which way the wind is blowing.

[John Clay Wolf]

I, I mean, the last time you got a ticket for prostitution, what'd you have to pay?

[David]

Oh, me?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[David]

Oh, my God. Well, I, I mean, I just paid the cop. I didn't actually. It never found its way inside a courtroom. I didn't pay him with money either.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's.

[David]

It's a long story anyway, that. Let's not digress. Let's focus on P. Diddy. Why do we have to focus on my industry?

[John Clay Wolf]

I was just trying to use the comps. I work in a, In a world.

[David]

It's a comp world. All right, I get it. I get it. Yeah. Talk a little about that.

[John Clay Wolf]

So they're gonna hit him with, with full book for the press, and then he's gonna appeal it and get the normal.

[David]

I, I, I don't. I also, he's a little out of the zeitgeist. Like, once he cleared this hurdle, people moved on. You know, we're sort of off. We're back to Jeffrey Epstein's, you know, did he commit suicide? Where's the logs? Where's the flight books? So I don't know. I feel like he's just going to slide under the radar and go into the dustbin of history. But he's got enough money where he doesn't need to do anything.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mike, what do we got on time? 45 seconds. 45 seconds. Epstein, what is your quick theory on Epstein? Why did Will this not go away?

[David]

Well, it's.

[John Clay Wolf]

It.

[David]

Because it got every. I'll tell you this. You know all those Casey Anthony lady murder killed their kids stories. You know all those stories, and women love it. This is one men love. That's why it won't go away, because we, we know Bill Clinton's on that list. Oh, I know Ron Howard's on that list somewhere. You know, Tom Hanks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, the Attorney General is allegedly supposed to resign or somebody else in the DOJ's gonna. There's all kinds of stuff last night about it. The Epstein list. There's something on there.

[David]

Well, I have a joke about it if you'd.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'd like to hear it.

[David]

Like, do we have enough time?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we. Let's get it when we. Let's. Don't you know how to tease Turley?

[David]

I'm teasing.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll be back in a moment with Adam Corolla's Epstein joke. My name is John Clay Wolf. We're here at the Sagebrush Cantina, Calabasas, California's a full house parking lot full of cars. Bring your cars Come grab a beer. Grab a burger. Cars and beer. Just bring a designated driver. Be right back. Yeah.

[Amir]

Now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning, everybody. It is Saturday, July 20th, 12th, 9:45am Pacific Time. I have Adam Carolla on my left. Dean McDermott. You may remember him from his TV shows. It's right here. Actor Dean. And we are having a cars and beer party here. They call it Cars and Coffee, but I see plenty of beer drinkers out there. Adam, you were. We were talking a moment ago about your comedy act.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're working on it?

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Been working on a little bit.

[David]

Oh, yeah, I'm doing. I'm doing comedy. I'm doing comedy all the time. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you funny?

[David]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[David]

You've seen me be funny, haven't you?

[John Clay Wolf]

I have seen you be funny. We were. We were fixing to get into something funny. Oh, you had an Epstein joke.

[David]

Yeah. It's not one that I do on stage very often, but I was sort of trying to figure. I was trying to. I was trying to break down why everyone is so in depth. Epstein.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[David]

And who's on the list and who's on the flight manifest and all this. And. And I. And I realize there's an inherent problem with the Epstein and the pedophile and all that stuff, because when you think crime, like, you. You know, you go, tom Hanks, is he a murderer? You go, no, come on, get out of there. Is he an arsonist? Nah. Like, hey, could he get with an underage model? You go, you know, like, that's. That's. That's the problem. So the joke was essentially said, go. But that's the problem with that crime. Everybody's potentially like, well, I don't know about that guy. You know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. Is there humor in pedophilia jokes?

[David]

I try to find out. I try to. I try to insert a little humor into pedophilia jokes. But I'm saying, like, if you said to me, my stepdad John, if you said, your stepdad John, is he capable of murder? I go, no, he's a good guy. Arson? No, he's a good guy. How about having sex with an underage girl on an island? I'd be like, which island? That's the problem. No, there's nobody. Like, you look at these guys like. Like, they go, alan Dershowitz. You go, oh, give me a.

[J.D. Ryan]

You don't know what that guy's.

[John Clay Wolf]

You never know.

[David]

That's the problem with this.

[John Clay Wolf]

And if they're all out there betting these young gals. Do you think they knew they were. I mean, because. Oh, 20 years. I mean, can you really nail. Nail? That's not the right word.

[David]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can you estimate the age properly?

[David]

I don't know. Well, first off, there's something called a fake id.

[John Clay Wolf]

True. We've all used.

[David]

The reason a fake ID was invented, it's the time immemorial, is because it's a 16 or 17 year old holding up a laminated card saying, I'm 19 or I'm 21, and somebody looks at it and looks at the person goes, okay, right. So that right there. Well, you can go. You should have known this person was 16. But you didn't. Not by looking at them. So, no. If there's such a thing as a fake id, and that'll get you into almost any club in America, well, then it's plausible deniability. If the bouncer had sex with that 16 year old, I don't know what club that is. It'd be hard to ensure. But you know what I'm saying.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're on thin ice.

[David]

I'm thin icing it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You and Dean were talking about ice. Ice hockey, and you just went right out on the thin ice. Yeah, well. What? This Epstein thing. I don't. I'm tired of it. The guy's daddy hung himself. He killed himself.

[David]

Get him out.

[John Clay Wolf]

All the people that mattered. It just doesn't matter anymore. Nobody's ever going to prove any of this. The P. Diddy thing, he. He got off. What else is. What's your take on? Well, you really want to piss everybody off, John, what's your take on the LA icing?

[David]

I do have comedy for this. All right, so here's my. Here's my ice comedy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right.

[David]

It's true. I mean, people are. They're raiding the pot farms, are going down to the barrios and kicking in the doors. Protesters are showing up in advance throwing rocks at these guys. One guy fired a gun at the ice guys. Somebody's going to get killed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[David]

And so I realize it's getting real dicey and real dangerous out there. And I came up with a way to get the illegal criminals to come to us. We've not have to go in and put these officers in danger. They'll come right to us, especially in la. This will work. We just put a sign in front of the Coliseum that says free cockfights for Raiders fans only. And whoever shows up, we throw a net on them.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a good one.

[David]

Anybody? We'll get a couple of deadbeat dads in there. That's fine. We'll do it at noon on a Tuesday. Anybody who walks into that place, you're out. You're not working. You're part of the problem.

[John Clay Wolf]

Free cock fights.

[David]

Raiders fans only. Whoever shows up. I don't care if a guy with red hair shows up at noon on a Tuesday, he's out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you ever been to Ireland? Have you ever been to a chicken fight?

[David]

No, I've not.

[John Clay Wolf]

You haven't lived a full life?

[David]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

No. You got it. Next time you're in Texas, and I know it won't happen, but if we ran across the border, went to Oklahoma. Chicken fight, huh?

[David]

Oh, it's sanctioned there, huh?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, but it's Oklahoma.

[David]

But it's Oklahoma, right? They have them there. Yeah, I think Roy Jones Jr. The boxer, used to put on a few of those as well. Oh, look it up. It's a. I don't get why fighting and chicken fighting is illegal. Do you know we eat like 240 million chickens a year in this a day in this country?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm. I'm kind of with you.

[David]

I'd be for cow fights. Wheat ribs and steak all day long. All day long. What do you care? If you're a cow, Wouldn't you rather fight it out like. Like a gladiator for a chance of freedom rather than just go right off the slaughterhouse and get one of those. One of those no country for Old Men pegs in your head? Yeah, I'd like to fight for my freedom if I was a chicken or a cow.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, they put razors on the back of their claws, and I think that's the problem with it.

[David]

We'll do hoof razors with the cows. They can duke it out, too. I'll do pig fights. I'll do tofu fights for the vegetarians. I don't care.

[John Clay Wolf]

Chicken fights.

[David]

I thought they called them fights.

[John Clay Wolf]

They do joke home cockpit chicken fights.

[David]

Take place in a swimming pool in the 70s. That's different. That's when you put a chick on your shoulders and they try to get each other's tops off.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do business with car dealers on the border.

[David]

Huh.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they're, you know, like the guys that have the Ferrari. The guys here with these fancy cars, they have horse racing races, right? They're race horses.

[David]

Oh, your Mexican border or Oklahoma border?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, Mexican border. Laredo specifically.

[David]

Huh.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, like, the rich guys, race horses. The Mexican car dealers fight chickens.

[David]

Oh, they do.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they're really into this. And they, like, send me pictures of their chickens and holding their big prize chicken. And would you like to donate some money? Would you like to sponsor this chicken for this fight? And I did it. You did? Yeah. Givethe Vin.com. we named the chicken GMTV and he won about three rounds and he died.

[David]

Uhhuh.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do.

[David]

Is it always to the death?

[John Clay Wolf]

Pretty much.

[David]

And the chickens always hate each other, but I always thought it was called fighting.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is called. I'm just trying to use a different word since we're on the radio, but it's fine. It's fighting. Cock fighting is cockfighting. Let's not clean up up.

[David]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know you're used to doing podcast. You can cuss, you can say anything you want.

[David]

I feel like cockfighting is known and approved for the air.

[John Clay Wolf]

I feel like if the president can drop F bombs on national television, then we should loosen up our. I mean, the F bomb has lost all of its power. Let's face it.

[David]

It's gone now.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's gone. Remember what the S word was when we were kids? It had some edge to it. It. But if you slipped by it, your parents didn't smack you. If you had an F, your parents would smack you hard.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

But now F has replaced S. Yeah. And I just think it's time to loosen it up.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're into politics. Could you start a build? Could you do a movement? I need some help with this. Well, I like doing radio.

[David]

I do want to say this. We. We always have the C word if we need to go there.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's heavy.

[David]

That's heavy. But I'll tell you. I'll tell you. We use it in case of emergency. The Brits use it every third word and they've screwed it up.

[John Clay Wolf]

So they diluted it.

[David]

It has no meaning over there. We keep it for that one argument where you really need to go for the haymaker. And then we bust it out right at the end with our old lady. And it works. It's effective. You guys use it so often, the Brits, it's lost its meaning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I haven't talked to you since the divorce has been final. How's that?

[David]

I pulled that C out. I used it. I used the last day of trial. I pulled that C. Did you smack.

[John Clay Wolf]

Her, Ned, with it?

[David]

Smack that. I took the sea out and I used it like a club. It was awesome. But it's only because I didn't overuse it during the marriage. You see?

[John Clay Wolf]

What? How much time have we got? You got three minutes. Three minutes. Okay. So this is. I'm on thin ice now, but. But I'm enjoying the conversation. Where do you use it?

[David]

The C word?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Like what is it? Give me a setup of where you can. Where the C word is called for.

[David]

Well, like I said, the English use it before. Past the salt.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[David]

You know what I mean? It's. It's. It's. It's used up over there. We use it, I would say, every three to seven years with a good argument with the old lady, you know, the Mrs. Or the girlfriend. Save it. Sort of keep it. You know what you like?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's nuclear. It's nuclear.

[David]

You like Fast and Furious, the franchise, right? Okay. In that movie, they had the nas, right? They go with the nitrous tank, right? But they couldn't get greedy because you'd see the guy go for the knots. He'd hit the nitrous button, and Vin Diesel be driving his Mazagon. Too early. He went for it too early. He got too happy with it. He blew it up. He tried to put too much psi. He went too hard for the nas. That's what the British do with the Seawor.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nitrous oxide.

[David]

For those that don't know, we gotta wait on it. Gotta wait on it. At that right moment, pow. C word.

[John Clay Wolf]

Boom. Take the victory and run.

[David]

Just like Vin Diesel. Watch a movie. It's all there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it?

[David]

You know what I like about Fast and Furious?

[John Clay Wolf]

What?

[David]

Vin Diesel had two modes. He was like family and beating the snot out of every human being around that. Those were. He was very family oriented or he was literally attacking somebody with a pipe wrench. That's all. Those were his two modes. He was kind of like an alligator. You know, alligators, like reptiles, don't jog. They have ones they have floating like, I think he's dead. And then they have on top of you eating dead. But it just. It's not. What I mean is, it's. It's not progressive. It's a toggle, right? Vin Diesel's either sitting there drinking a Corona with his hand all the way at the top of the neck, even higher than the end of the Corona. He's literally drinking a beer through his thumb and forefinger. It's like he's drinking his own hand sweat, you know? So he's either doing that or he's physically on top of someone trying to kill them. Like an alligator. Alligators are like, I think he's dead. Is he sleeping? Boom. On top.

[John Clay Wolf]

Back. We've got a great crowd here at the Sage Brush Canteen. And I've got Adam Corolla here with. We got a parking full of cool cars. We're going to go out and check out in about an hour. Come up and see us. Also tonight there is an ABBA cover band playing at the Sagebrush Cantina. And Adam, you might not know this, but my wife's grandmother's. Have you met my wife?

[David]

Yeah, she's a delight.

[John Clay Wolf]

Danish. But it's right on the border of what? Delight on the border of what? Sweden.

[David]

Oh, I was going to say crazy and a.

[John Clay Wolf]

But okay, so Sweden. Her grandmother's sister is the hot blonde and abba.

[David]

Oh, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[David]

Did you guys know that the ABBA Cover band that's playing here tonight is actually called abba, but they just spell it backwards. The drummer told me. What are you yelling at me for? That's what he said. So I wonder if that would hold up in court.

[John Clay Wolf]

She gets a check once a quarter.

[David]

Huh?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because Agatha Agnesia or whatever her name is.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

She, she shares with her family.

[David]

She shares with her family.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[David]

So my wife, my sister would never do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

She gets a tab, a check. Wow. And it's really. I mean, wow's right?

[David]

Your wife gets free ABBA money.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. It's almost as good as being on the I'm, I'm going to be careful welfare system.

[David]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

But they're socialists over there, right?

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's like Smurfville, everybody share.

[David]

Well, I don't get any of the.

[John Clay Wolf]

ABA money, but it takes some pressure off of me when the ABA money shows up.

[David]

Yeah, well, listen, it, it's. Look, let's, let's face it. When you're married, it's essentially a drain where money just, just, just sieve, like a sieve just goes through it. Right. And what the ABBA money is for you is it's like a sock stuffed into the drain that you can build up a little your own money.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a six week plug.

[David]

Yes, yes, that's right. That's good. You're blessed.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's great. My friend, he's made a lot of money in the restaurant business and he calls me, he's got a 36 year old wife. Hey, give me a Rolls Royce for my old lady. First of all, she's not old. Second of all, I'm not going to participate in this. He's like, why? I think if you buy her a rolls when she's 36 years old, where are we going from there?

[David]

Yeah. Bugatti.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nobody but Gusenberg. You're just gonna ruin her. Yeah, it's like my, my stepmom told my dad when we were dating. Used to take me out dancing and drinking and dining, all that stuff. It's like, honey, when you get a fish on the bank, you don't take all your bait and shove it in its mouth.

[David]

Yeah. No, listen, I feel. No, you don't want to ruin them. That's. I feel the same way about the burqa. You know what I mean? You got to keep it on. I'm with you on that. You spoke about that off the air.

[John Clay Wolf]

Your new one, your new gal. Yeah. Assume you're still dating her. How are you managing? What are you doing Differently this time.

[David]

Oh, I don't talk. I said in the past, the last.

[John Clay Wolf]

One didn't work out. Well, you're very public.

[David]

I shared opinions about things, you know, and then the new one, I don't share any opinions. That's the way. That's the way to keep going. I've realized a lot of grunting and nodding, that's really the. That's the key to a relationship now. I used to say the key to a relationship's a lot of square footage in two tivas, but now I've dovetailed that into just a lot of nodding and a lot of. You can't. You know, when she tells you about her bitchy friend for the 55th time, you can't say, you told me that story already. You just go, oh, man. Yeah, Roberta, I never liked her. I never liked her. And that's it. That's it. And then you die.

[John Clay Wolf]

And she's a comedian. Mm, indeed. Does she open for you sometimes?

[David]

Yeah, she does. As a matter of fact. She's gonna be out at the Laugh Factor in Covina opening for me. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is she going to Chicago with us?

[David]

No, no, I'm working with your girlfriend.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does that get complicated?

[David]

You know, it's weird when it comes.

[John Clay Wolf]

To cutting up the money is really where I was wanting to know.

[David]

There's no money. Cutting it up. I get the. I get the cash, she gets. Gets the sock. That's how this works, you know? No, the thing about a girlfriend that opens for you don't really work with them. They go out and do 15 minutes, you go out, do an hour. That's basically. That's it, you know, it's not like you both run your own roofing business and you're sitting in a cubicle, the same office or something like that. It's just they think when she gets.

[John Clay Wolf]

Off the stage, because I think this. No, I don't think this for myself. I think this for her. I think when she goes out and watches your set, I think she feels like she's funnier than you. And I wonder if she's like kind of planning the overtake.

[David]

I don't know. I'm not sure if comedy works that way. Like, if I only killed Nate Bargazi, I would then assume the throne. Really worked out. It doesn't really work that way, you know, it just be one less funny person around.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're stealing her beauty and you're just thieving her beauty. Cuz she's so much more attractive than you are.

[David]

Yeah, it's ridic the way I like it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it's unbelievable.

[David]

That's my goal.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then. But she's stealing your mojo and. And she's going to do the flip on you.

[David]

Yeah, you're right. You're right. I gotta eliminate her, John. You're right, brother. I'm newly inspired. I need a beer. And I got. And I need a steno pad. I got some planning to do, John. You're right, brother. I wasn't even thinking about.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just wanted to point this thing out because it seems obvious now.

[David]

You make a super valid point. As a matter of fact, I gotta cut out a little bit early, if that's okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's great.

[David]

Yeah, she's been.

[John Clay Wolf]

She this lady. Every time I'm around. She's offering this and that and makes you happy and very, very, very, very welcoming.

[David]

She told me she wanted to buy you a gift when she found out I was coming here.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's a good gal.

[David]

Yeah. But then we got back from the Irvine. I'm sorry, the service, the Laugh Factory. And we got back last night at 12:30 or something. At night it was two shows, late show, blah, blah, blah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did she open for you?

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

That told you?

[David]

Yeah, no, I told her.

[John Clay Wolf]

You should.

[David]

You can open anything except for your mouth. Did you give her the. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you see Trump wants to change the Commanders back to the Redskins? Is this true or false?

[David]

Well, okay, so what they did is first off, the Native Americans never wanted the name changed in the first place. It was a bunch of white Karens that wanted it just like everything, you know? Like, you think Hispanic came up with Latinx or Latinx? You think that was their idea? No, that wasn't. There was some white chick's idea. And in terms of the Redskins, the Native Americans don't care. By the way, they got bigger fish to fry than what the name of a football team is. More white chicks getting involved in business they got no business in. So that's what it is. And also the thing, you know, the thing about it is, is they didn't switch the name to a different tribe or a different name for Native Americans. They just got rid of it all together and just went generic commander. So now you're not represented at all. Like, I mean, okay, first things first.

[John Clay Wolf]

Braves are.

[David]

So you name your team after some fierce fighting group, Force or animal? No, there's no team called the Tree Slaws. Santa Cruz is called the Banana Slugs. But it's just because they're stoners and they're thumbing their nose at the man you name your team, the Tigers or the Wolverines or something like that, the Badgers. You know, you give a good aggressive name. That's, it's a tip of the cap. If somebody wanted to name a team the Adam Corollas, I would go, thank you very much. Because I would assume it was a tip of the cap to me. So that's what it is. And they don't care. And I'm with Trump, but I also think Trump, I figured out that Trump sits around all night, just figures out way to piss off the left. Just like Gavin Newsom sits around all day and tries to figure out ways to piss off me. I literally think he bases every policy on how much would Corolla hate this? And then he goes, we're gonna do it. We're going all electric cars by 2035. Corolla would hate that. He'd hate it. Okay, done. Everything he does is just to piss me off. You can't prove me wrong. Every single idea Gavin Newsom has, I go, that's the worst idea I've ever heard.

[John Clay Wolf]

Feeding you material. He's just keeping.

[David]

He's feeding me material.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's helping you.

[David]

He's helping me. That's right. Go and say yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you think what's time, Mike? One minute. Your boy Elon, speaking of helping you as he is he losing it?

[David]

Well, he's definitely got, you know, he's probably on the spectrum of like nine syndromes, right? You know, like I feel like he runs seven businesses and has nine syndromes and nine baby mamas and nine baby mamas. So he's out there. But who could ever tell the guy, oh, this is never going to work or don't do this or you're fool, I'll tell you a fool, you know, like just do whatever he wants. I think he's going to start his own party, right? I'm for it, I'm all for it.

[John Clay Wolf]

But this match between him and Trump, it just. We'll get to in a minute. I've got to do the lightning round next. You guys call in 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. We're going to take take an ABBA break. I don't know if everybody's going to play abba, our affiliates, but I think they should if there's a live board op load ABBA right now cuz abba's playing here at the Sage Brush tonight.

[David]

It's not abba, it's a cover band. But they spell this name the same. But it's backwards. That's how. That's how they're able to clear it legally.

[John Clay Wolf]

And if you're in the area in Calabasas, come up here to the Sagebrush Cantina. We've got another 45 minutes of live air and we're going to walk out and look.

[David]

Jesus Christ.

[John Clay Wolf]

We've got a. We've got a office down there on Sahara. Run it over there and get a check. Tell them I sent you. Okay, thank you. How. Hey, and listen, how long it's good for? Now, guys, he just went in the drawing because he just sold us a car. And what we've been doing is giving away a sweepstakes thing and pulling one of the people that sells car every month and giving them a prize. So the prize. The prize winner is here. I'll show you what the prize is. Amir, will you bring him up? His name is David. Ling Ling Ling David. Is he near? Amir. There he is. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you bringing us another beer. That's what I need. Dave, throw that headset on. So, Dave, where do you live? Yes. Yeah, bring that mic right up to your face. Okay. Where do you live? I live in Claremont, California. Why do you listen to a jerk like me? You. You just have that gene that degenerative gene in your soul. No. So what did you sell? You went to give me the Venus? Sold your car last month. I sold a 2020 RX350. Yeah. Yeah. So Dustin was very helpful. Yep. On the phone. And when Amy contacted me in regards to.

[J.D. Ryan]

I won the sweepstake.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. I didn't really have any reaction at first because I thought it was a scam call. Right, right. A used car dealer. Right. I mean. Right. A used car dealer running a racket. What's new?

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. That's.

[David]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So after all the. We confirmed everything, then I spoke to Dustin again. Right. So she very. He verified everything. Open that check up and tell me what it says. Okay. And run to the bank. Dust is not the fastest letter opener.

[David]

I don't feel like you should have hot glued it shut. You know what I mean? It's a presentational thing. You know what I mean? You guys duct tape the thing shot $25,000. $25,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

Give me that. $25,000. I'm not kidding you.

[David]

$25,000. What am I getting for being here?

[John Clay Wolf]

Nothing.

[David]

I got a Miller Light. Yeah, that a boy.

[John Clay Wolf]

$25,000.

[David]

You know what?

[John Clay Wolf]

Coming right out of my ass.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can tell you this. The sweepstakes really hasn't worked. It really hasn't generated any more business. Did you even know there was a sweepstakes when you sold no car? So you didn't even know?

[David]

Didn't even know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Didn't even know.

[David]

That's why I'm going to need to. To take that money, son. He didn't even know.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we get two months into this and I'm like, hey, man, let's check the sweepstakes. Yeah, I'm. It's not really making a difference. It's just costing a ton. And they call me and say, if you do that, you sign this document, you're. You're gonna get sued.

[David]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Like, for what? He read me the riot act.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I'm stuck to this deal for 250 G's.

[David]

Oh, my God.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right? Oh, my God.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So my point is, you guys are crazy. If we're close to the competitor to not sell us your car because he's living proof. He didn't even know. He's. He was in the drawing. He's got 25 grand. What are you gonna do with it? I'm gonna put in my three kids college fund. Take them.

[David]

He told me off. He told me off the air. He was going whoring, by the way. He doesn't have kids, but. All right, whatever. For the radio. That's fine.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. We're gonna take a music break. We'll be right back. Back. Congratulations, sir. Thanks for trading with us. Tell everybody you know, please. I did. I won't tell you what I offered. All right. We'll be right back.

[David]

I read a news article recently where they said top geologists believe Miami, Florida will be completely underwater in 25 years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gone.

[David]

That's insane. That there's going to be history classes where they're teaching kids about the lost city of Miami. Eventually a student's gonna be like, hey, what were the people doing? Is their city just slipped into the sea? Like cocaine and rollerblading mostly.

[John Clay Wolf]

There.

[David]

There were a lot of pool parties with DJs, Adam.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's it.

[David]

Just makes me wonder if Atlantis was the douchebag city before it went under.

[Amir]

And now we return to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevent.com. check out the [e-mail] and we're back live air.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good afternoon, good morning, La, San Diego, Vegas. Everybody else on the stream, how the hell are you? We've got a guy that was wondering. Guy, are you coming up here? Bring him on up. Oh, there you are. Grab this headset. Let's talk about. He's, he's tackling me, trying to take a leak, and he wants to tell me about his girlfriend, Zo ZL1 so why you want to sell your girlfriend.

[David]

Z01 okay, well, first off, to be fair, you were taking a leak in the lobby. It's not like he would come up to you in the bathroom.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bring that mic in closer. Okay. There you are. Hello. What's your name? Where are you from? My name is Lawrence Brooks. I live in North Hills and I started dating a girl eight years ago.

[David]

And when I, I opened up her.

[John Clay Wolf]

Garage, there was a car underneath this cover and I, I pulled the car cover off. It's a 2012 Camaro ZL1. It's black. Black on black. It does. LSA. It does. It's, it's the six speed transmission. It's got a supercharger. It's 780 horsepower from the factory. That's how they.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And, and I was like, whoa. On a scale of one to ten, where would you score? It is, it is a ten plus. Oh, her. She's a ten. Okay. She's ten with a ten.

[David]

All right. She must be here. And so, I mean, I didn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's not here. That's a picture of the Car. The car looks brand new. It still has the, the floor mats.

[David]

In it that they give you when.

[Adam Carolla]

When, you know, you go to repair.

[John Clay Wolf]

Your car or whatever it still has that. You get into the car and it smells brand new. It's been sitting in this garage. I, I, I take the car cover off, I start it once a month, I drive it around the parking lot.

[David]

And that is it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I don't deal with third parties, so. Like, we don't bid cars for my buddy's girlfriend's uncle. I, I get it, because we can't get anything done.

[David]

Wait a minute. What is she doing? What was her plan? Where'd the car come from?

[John Clay Wolf]

She inherited a bunch of money. Now she's an 11 and she has, and she has a daughter, and she, her daughter was only 10 years old.

[David]

At the time, and she bought this.

[John Clay Wolf]

Car for her daughter who was going to eventually drive.

[David]

Hold on a second.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's gonna kill her daughter.

[David]

I couldn't get a moped out of my dad when I was 13.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is not a vehicle that you drive. No, that a female drives.

[David]

Hold on, excuse me, Danica Patrick. But, but I mean, it's a six speed.

[John Clay Wolf]

I, I, I mean, it's got.

[David]

Your girlfriend bought this car for her 12 year old daughter. She didn't inherit the car. She inherited the money, used the money.

[John Clay Wolf]

To buy the car.

[David]

The money to buy cash. This car for her 12 year old daughter.

[John Clay Wolf]

Exactly, exactly. So the car's been sitting.

[David]

I love this woman.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so, so she, the girl's gonna die in the car. This car's too fast.

[David]

But wait a minute. How old's the daughter now?

[John Clay Wolf]

The daughter's now 26. Hey, you're, I mean, that deal about what I was proposing earlier didn't work out, but she drives a Tesla and, and she's not in, in the Camaro. ZL1. Where is your cut off on age, Adam?

[David]

On my cut off on age? I don't know. You got to cut me off on the beers before I give you that, that number I need.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's two cars. So who owns the car, you, the girl or the daughters? Does the daughter own the car? No, the, the mother owns the car and we've been together for eight years. So she paid $89,000 for the car. That's a lot.

[David]

That it is a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm just telling you this is a her problem, not a me problem, but go ahead. Right. So, so my thoughts were, I told her, you're never going to get that money back out of the Car, you should just leave it in the garage until it's 20 years old. It'll now become a classic or a. And what is it when it comes? Collector collection.

[J.D. Ryan]

20 years.

[David]

And then, and then maybe it'll be.

[John Clay Wolf]

An investment car instead of losing the $90,000. Maybe you'll get the 90. You have to hang on to that car for another 20 years to get to 90. So here's some comps. I pulled this up for you because I was afraid we were going to have this conversation. Yeah. Here's a 17, 000 mile when it sold for 35 grand. Here's a 24, 000 mile sold for 34. 32 brings 32. 51 brings me 31. You've got a 1500 mile one, right? Or 19. It's got 1400 miles on it.

[David]

1400.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, so teen miles, mid-30s. What's her car worth with 14, what do you think? I'm going to hit it at 40. Right, right. And you threw, you rolled this 90 out, man. I mean, that's just like taking a dump in the middle of the floor. Ah, I mean, totally understand.

[David]

I, I, I just was basically, basically.

[John Clay Wolf]

Coming to you honestly, telling you what the car was paid for. No, it's awesome. Yeah, dude, I'm just. But yeah, I'm. If you listen to me on the radio, you know, I'm a ball buster. That's my always. So if you came up here not expecting to get your balls busted, you're in the wrong place.

[David]

And it's not my car.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait a minute.

[David]

It's all gravy for you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[David]

She inherited a bunch of money. You got 40, which is better than nothing. It's not as good as 90, but it's 40, 40 more than I'm used to with a woman.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go get her. Rev 4 Correct. That's what she needs.

[David]

Yeah, she's got a Tesla, but she's still that. And she still has the inheritance money around.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah.

[David]

All right, well, don't.

[J.D. Ryan]

She cares.

[David]

She's made an impact.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does she want to take 40 grand for it?

[David]

I, I'm not sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why don't you call it? She doesn't really know what she wants to do. Call her and come back up if she wants to take 40 grand. And you know, I'll pay for it. Right? All right. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

[David]

Thanks. That's a great story. So, daughter was 12. You understand when I was 12, if I heard the ice cream truck and I said to my dad, can I have a quarter for a snow cone he would have went, whoa, wait a second now. Slow it down, bro. Like she just went and spent 90k for her to 12 year old.

[John Clay Wolf]

I remember when those cars were selling. I have a problem with the story.

[David]

You do?

[John Clay Wolf]

I remember when they were new. Well, I haven't done the math from 26 to 13 yet. In. In. In the 2012. Is that right on? Pretty damn close.

[David]

2012. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah, the math. Yeah. Her age. Yeah. Was that 2012? That's good.

[John Clay Wolf]

That car wasn't 90 grand in 2012. So anyway.

[David]

Well, he said 89 and change to be fair, but yeah, I don't know Camaro prices at all. And I didn't know they did A what? An LT1. A Z01. Yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's past your threshold. It is a special car. One of the most expensive camaros there is.

[David]

760S, 780 horsepower.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's incredible. It's a great car. It's a great collector car. Whoever buys that car from them should just sit on it because it will if you're in the collector deal anyway. You don't get your kid a hot rod for their first car. You just don't do. I've watched a guy give his son a Shelby GT500 in high school.

[David]

In high school.

[John Clay Wolf]

He died 72 hours later.

[David]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

In front of the high school. Lighting it up.

[David]

Really hit him in front of the high school telephone pole. I had. Hold on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[David]

I knew a guy in high school school whose dad got him a 429 boss Mustang and he died 48 hours later. Not the son, the dad have. He had a heart attack with his girlfriend, but it's sort of the same thing. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you get Junior? Did you get Sonny a Subaru?

[David]

I have the. My son, can I tell you, you think you're disappointed by your children? My all I wanted for my son, I all I said, look, you got to play football. Yeah. I learned everything I learned from playing football. Everything I know, everything I am, who I am because I played football for 10 years. I learned discipline, hard work. He's never played it down in his life. Never played football. I said, all right. I build houses. You got to learn to build, boy. This is something that's a gift that keeps giving. Once you learn a trade, you learn a skill. It's tangible. Doesn't know Jack. Squad cars, 19 year old son. Every six months I say to him, do you want a car? Not really.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's one of those.

[David]

He's one of those. He'd Rather walk. He'd literally walk. You can call at any, any given time. He just goes, yeah, I'm walking. He's got an electric bike and he walks. He does not want a car. My son doesn't want a car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you DNA tested?

[David]

Oh, you know what? I had a mailman who didn't want a car many years ago. You're right.

[John Clay Wolf]

He looks just like you. Okay, but how do you not want.

[David]

I don't know. I, I, I don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

My kid got his license and we gave him a car two months ago. I haven't seen him since.

[David]

He's doing donuts.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's doing great.

[David]

School.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's doing great. We'll be right back. My name is John Clay Wolf. This is the John Clay Wolf Show. We got Adam Carolla in the house. We're doing a car thing outside in the parking lot. Come by the sagebrush canteen and come see us. Oh, yeah, we're back.

[Amir]

Back to the John Clay Wolf Show. Go to jcwshow.com for the fastest growing podcast in the U.S.

[John Clay Wolf]

I picked the songs.

[David]

I love so Lonely.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's awesome.

[David]

It's a great, It's a great police song. It's weird. They just play the same old. Wrapped around your fingers by the same crappy 5 Police songs, but they never play so Lonely.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's the best one.

[David]

It's the best one.

[John Clay Wolf]

They got Turley. You said it's no good. No, Babu, he's sabotaged. He sabotaged. I mean, what did the time Me.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right, you want to know the categories category for Jeopardy.

[John Clay Wolf]

I wanted to do. I wanted to do Jeopardy. We do it at the end of every show. Yeah, and you're pretty good at it.

[David]

I just told you what police song that was.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know. Well, that would have been easy.

[J.D. Ryan]

We have two.

[John Clay Wolf]

We have.

[David]

I do think it's easy because you know it. But if you've got a hundred guests and put them here and played the first three licks of so Lonely by the police from 1980, they would not tell you the name of the song. So get over it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's play Jeopardy.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right. You want to know the categories first before we do this? All right, categories are gone, but not forgotten. Saluting our dead rock and roll heroes. And this is. You're gonna be the one you like. Remember Babo wrote these. Give me that old time religion. Talking about Greek mythology.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, God. See, that's what I was trying. I wanted him to pick something that I had a chance against.

[David]

Girls, right? With cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Come on. Right. Anyway, just Go.

[David]

You wanna do it?

[J.D. Ryan]

Now's the time to test the intellect and pop culture IQ of our own John Clay Wolf show crew.

[David]

And.

[J.D. Ryan]

And our very special guest, Adam Carolla, joining John Clay live. All right, category one. Give me that old time religion. Talking about Greek mythology. All right, question number one. A whole generation of kids learned most of what they know about Greek mythology from this 1981 film. Oh, my God. Creatures had creature effects from the legendary Harry harryhousen. What is the name of this movie?

[David]

Clash of the Titans.

[J.D. Ryan]

Damn, dude, you got it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Holy crap. Okay. Bastard. I was thinking about it, but it wasn't coming to me. Next.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ancient Wipeout.

[J.D. Ryan]

Ancient Greece's equivalent to the devil was both God of the dead and king of the underworld. Who is this person?

[John Clay Wolf]

Satan? Close.

[David]

Methuselah?

[J.D. Ryan]

Nope.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, what is it?

[J.D. Ryan]

Who is Hades?

[David]

Hades.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right. Lastly, worshipers in the days of ancient Greece surmised that the home of the gods was this extensive mountain mass on the Argian Sea. It's also the name of a camera branch.

[David]

It is mounted up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Olympus.

[David]

Oh, Mount Olympus.

[J.D. Ryan]

Olympus. There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

We got a tie.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right, tied up. All right, category number two, old timer.

[David]

This is.

[John Clay Wolf]

How's it tied if you won two and I won one?

[David]

No, I won. I won one. You won one.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[J.D. Ryan]

Saluting our dead rock and roll heroes. Here we go. In one tragic occurrence in 1977, an airplane crash in Leonard Skynyrd.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, that was easy. Didn't.

[J.D. Ryan]

Dang. And you didn't say who is.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't. I won. Next.

[David]

Rossington Collins.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who is Cassie May? What's her name? Yeah, yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right. Though is death in 19 for double.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you want to go to the airplane? No. What you want to name the airplane?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, the airplane that he crashed.

[David]

I didn't know it had a name.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I mean, not nothing like. Like a trick name, but the actual model.

[David]

Oh, I know it's a prop plane and I know a few things about it. I know all about the crash because I interviewed one of the survivors, but I don't know, it was D.C. something or whatever.

[John Clay Wolf]

I thought I had it in my head, but I don't. Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

It came out of Addison and it was a fuel problem.

[David]

Ah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Next.

[J.D. Ryan]

Though his death in 1969 has been overshadowed by a very long career for the group.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can you stop over. I'm sorry, I didn't hear your first problem.

[J.D. Ryan]

Though his death in 1969 has been overshadowed by a very long career for the Group. This was the first founding member of the Rolling Stones to die unexpectedly.

[John Clay Wolf]

I forgot it's not Ronnie Wood. It's that dude and I forgot his name. What was the manager's name?

[David]

Oh, God, I don't know this one. First member of the Rolling Stones to die unexpectedly.

[John Clay Wolf]

I thought you were going Boston and I was gonna go Brad. Del.

[David]

Yeah. Don't know this one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Next.

[J.D. Ryan]

Who is Brian Jones?

[David]

Oh, Brian Jones.

[John Clay Wolf]

I thought he's a Beatle.

[J.D. Ryan]

And arguably one of the fastest rising electric guitarists. Began this his career with Quiet Riot before recording and touring with Ozzy Osbourne.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who is Randy Rhodes?

[David]

Randy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Rh.

[J.D. Ryan]

John. Got that one.

[David]

Yeah. Knew that one too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Three to one, Double jeopardy time. Crash into the bus.

[David]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Such a stoner. Crazy what happens when you smoke BO dope, drink beer and fly.

[J.D. Ryan]

Back to category one for the bonus round. In Greek culture, this was one of the most revered titans who believers say stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity in the form of technology, knowledge and civilization. His name is also the title of a very popular sequel to the movie Alien.

[John Clay Wolf]

No clue.

[Steve Goldfield]

Oh, Prometheus.

[J.D. Ryan]

Prometheus is correct. Okay, one more here in category one. One of the major gods in the Greek pantheon was actually the goddess of love, lust, beauty, pleasure, passion and procreation. What was her name?

[John Clay Wolf]

Poseidon.

[David]

No, it's not. No, it's not Cleopatra.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, that was a lady in a movie with Carlton Heston.

[J.D. Ryan]

Isis, the goddess of love, lust, beauty, pleasure, passion and procreation.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is 10 seconds. He said Isis.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it's wrong.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a theater in every little town.

[David]

Around the U.S. athena.

[J.D. Ryan]

Athena.

[David]

Athena. Oh, yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right, one more from category two. Many don't realize John Lennon was not the first Beatle founding member to die prematurely. That distinction goes to their original bass player who passed away weeks after suffering a head injury during a street fight in Hamburg.

[David]

Boy never heard this one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who is John Bonham? That's wrong, right?

[David]

Yeah, that's right.

[John Clay Wolf]

He didn't drown in a pool and play the drums.

[J.D. Ryan]

Who was Stuart Sutcliffe?

[John Clay Wolf]

Never heard of Sutcliffe.

[David]

That's it. Never heard of.

[John Clay Wolf]

And John, you're the winner. Three to two to one. Yeah. Finally. That was worth it for me because he smoked me so bad in the Kale west studio a year ago that I was a little scarred.

[David]

Or your back?

[John Clay Wolf]

I was a little scarred. I was scarred. A little scarred. Man, there's some cool cars out there. John, we saw in the videos. This is neat. What you're gonna ask him about Elon Musk. I'm really gonna run. Oh, Elon Musk. That's right. So why did he and Trump get. Did you see this coming? It got so squirrely. It. Was it having a breakup, that's one thing. Turning it into taking fecal matter and throwing it to you at each other and smearing it, that's another thing. And then apologizing. Everybody's sitting back, say, hey, we're grown men, we need to chill out. And then getting back into it, that surprised me.

[David]

Well, you know, there's the two alphas, and I think they both think they're the most consequential people on the planet. And there can only be one most consequential person on the planet. I think put them in the same room. It'll work for a while, but eventually, you know, the S is going to happen.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you think it ends here?

[David]

Yeah, I do. I mean, they're both ego driven. They're both kind of cut out of the same cloth. They both want to be bigger than life. You know, at a certain point, you have enough money, it's kind of about the impact that you make.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is this kind of like you and Jimmy Fallon?

[David]

Yeah, not Jimmy Fallon.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, Jimmy Kimmel.

[David]

That's what I was gonna correct you, but I. Jimmy Fallon as well. No, I know. There's only. There shouldn't be two jimmies in late night. Yeah, it is. At a certain point, you know, you want to be as impactful as you can on society. And I. I think it'll. I think it'll work out. But it. But who cares? Cares. It's going to be to our benefit. I think. I. I really do think we'll be. We'll reap the rewards of these two fighting.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. Clash of the titans. So, yeah. That the ev. Bill cut off. You know, when. When you pull down any murder mystery or any problem or whatever, go to the money.

[David]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that was the blow. It chopped him. It screwed him up. Yeah.

[David]

But you know, they're still Tesla, still the biggest car manufacturer in the world, which I was a little surprised about. I wasn't. I didn't know that they are. They're the richest.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know.

[David]

They are the richest. I just looked into it the other day. Car manufacturer in the world. So I don't know. I. I'll tell you what it was. It wasn't that. It wasn't the electric car data or bill. It was. It was. Elon had a guy that he hand picked that he wanted to run NASA. And so Elon said this guy should run NASA and he was qualified to run NASA. And Trump said, I'm not going to put that guy in charge of NASA. And that's what caused the original riff with Elon and Trump.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I don't think it's over. Does he have the power to deport him?

[David]

No, he's not gonna do that. No. He can't even get the Mexicans who are harvesting the pot plants out of here.

[John Clay Wolf]

30 seconds. Adam's playing at the Laugh Factory in Covina tonight.

[David]

That's right.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you want to go visit that show, go to laughter factory.com grab the second show. It's the late show. Yeah.
