John Clay Wolf
Yeah.

What's the temperature there?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's about. It's about 37 here. Seriously? Yep. I hate you, Bob. Why are you looking so weird? You're freaking out. Your eyes are tripping out like you're on acid.
J.D. Ryan
I'm cool.
John Clay Wolf
What happened now? You're, like, tweaking. I'm watching you.
Unknown
I saw breakfast arrive.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, there's breakfast right here.
Bob Turley
Right?
John Clay Wolf
All right. In the. That bastard.
J.D. Ryan
And he just totally lost his focus at breakfast.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I mean completely. Like, his eyes started twitching like a cop. I mean, like a drunk.
Unknown
I was wondering if that was all of it.
John Clay Wolf
My wife said, what would you like? And I told her a bacon, egg and cheese burrito. I mean, bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. And she said, what else is. What do they want? Because I can't come in there without. Which is yours.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
I said, they'll be fine. Don't worry about them.
Richard Rollins
Oh, no, no.
John Clay Wolf
She bought. She brought it. She brought it.
Unknown
Love it.
John Clay Wolf
All right, so we're up in Sturgis, South Dakota, at the 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in the Black Hills of South Dakota. And it's pretty early. It's so weird when we do these remotes, man. And it's so like it's 6 o' clock in the morning here at a mountain time. Yeah, it's just like what we did in California. I mean, you show up at a bar at 6 in the morning. There's just not a lot of homeboys there.
Unknown
I'm telling you, Marty, without a flux capacitor, man, it really can get hard to figure. And you've been everywhere, man, like Johnny Cash says. I mean, you've been east coast, west coast. This may be your first mountain time zone.
John Clay Wolf
I think it is. Yeah.
Unknown
And it's only. It's not all South Dakota. It's just like the furthest west. 70 miles of south Dakota is a totally different time zone, and it feels like it. You go outside next week, I think.
John Clay Wolf
I'm gonna be from Monterey Car week.
Unknown
Oh, yeah. Gumball. Gumball rap.
John Clay Wolf
So we're gonna take the gumball guys up. I. I was gonna go on Friday, but then they said, well, you should do the show from here. And the exacts of that aren't figured out yet, but it does. Join John Clay Wolf show on Facebook if you want to come by and see us at the gumball rail. I mean, not the gumball rally, the Monterey Car week. I don't know. We're setting up camp yet, but I will make that announcement online. Just like, I really didn't even know I was doing this until a couple days. What day did I tell you we're going to Sturgis? Tuesday. Tuesday.
Unknown
And we. And we can do it. We've got the infrastructure in place to do it. That's pretty cool, because I'm nervous as a cat all the time, man. I'm. I'm feeling pretty confident.
John Clay Wolf
What of a. What have you got, J.D. ryan?
J.D. Ryan
There we go.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Richard Rollins
Sorry. I was talking.
J.D. Ryan
He was talking to somebody. Well, see, Johnny, your old buddy, you remember Alex Stein, your old friend, conservative prankster. Well, he was at it again this week, this time with msnbc, a report from the Texas state capitol. Now, they're covering the Democratic state representatives who fled the state to try to deny the quorum for the proposed Republican blah, blah, blah, redistricting. Anyway, so Alex shows up behind the MSNBC reporter. Do you see people do this in the. In the crowds before they get behind and just make noise?
Richard Rollins
Photo bomb.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, you got to give it to the MSNBC guy because he really held it together on this one. So here's Alex Stein behind him, just making noise. Get 13.
John Clay Wolf
We just watched the speaker gavel out with a whole lot of anger, Kelly. Here's the state of play.
Bob Turley
Here's the.
John Clay Wolf
How are you? Talk to you for a second?
Bob Turley
Sometimes this happens, and we understand that that can happen. And while we love free speech, we're.
John Clay Wolf
Going to keep control here.
J.D. Ryan
So, okay, so they pull him aside. They get him out of the frame. They go back to the studio. She's going. Getting everything together. They held it together very well. So Alex is gone. Everything's back to normal.
Unknown
Almost cut 14 stay with us here.
Bob Turley
Because Ryan has cleared the set, as.
John Clay Wolf
We would like to say, the gentleman moved on. So, Ryan, let me turn back to you. We'll all take a breath there.
Bob Turley
Maybe not.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Richard Rollins
He's over the shoulder, way in the background.
Bob Turley
Hold on one second. Okay, we're just gonna pull the plug there.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, Ryan. Playing out in real time is high.
Bob Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
There's a whole lot of anger here.
Richard Rollins
As you can see.
John Clay Wolf
So we're gonna get a control of this and come back to you. Fair enough.
Unknown
What a little prick.
J.D. Ryan
I'm telling you, man. They pull him aside, and he stays out of the way until they go. We're all fine. Go back to.
John Clay Wolf
Go back to.
J.D. Ryan
Go back to the live shot. And then he goes. Stands behind him about 15ft and starts screaming again.
John Clay Wolf
Fellas.
Unknown
You know, I'm usually pretty laid back, but I. I think I might have gone to jail that day.
J.D. Ryan
That's what he. That's what he wanted. He would love that.
John Clay Wolf
They.
J.D. Ryan
They lost their minds and punched him out. He would have loved it.
Unknown
Sometimes you get what you want. I mean, I'm there on a live shoot on MSNBC, and this isn't a guy that's been on TV for 30 years. This is a fairly young guy. Right. They send him to Texas to report this reporter.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
He's.
Unknown
He's standing there live. He's doing his deal. Bing, bong, bing. Alex Stein.
J.D. Ryan
You know, no idea. Until he goes off, they have no idea who he is. He's just a guy.
John Clay Wolf
Oh.
J.D. Ryan
Just gonna watch us do our movies.
John Clay Wolf
He's very angry.
Richard Rollins
He's talking about transgender bathrooms, and MSV sucks.
J.D. Ryan
He was.
John Clay Wolf
Did you see that one? That's a different one. Do you have an audio of the.
Richard Rollins
That's what he was yelling.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, no, no, no. Where he sat down with the Texas Senate last week, and he got his two minutes of free time. Oh, no, no, no. And he was yelling, saying, I like transgenders. I think that we should put them in the military because they're the meanest human on earth. He also said their suicide rate.
Bob Turley
Oh, my God.
John Clay Wolf
Is so high that we could use them as, like, kamikazes. Oh, wow. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty bad. I was like, wow, why? And, you know, I did. I called him and I said, dude, how does Glenn Beck not get in the hot seat over this? Because he's. He's produced by Glenn Beck.
Unknown
Right.
John Clay Wolf
And I. You know that. That's not Glenn Beck's kind of stick.
J.D. Ryan
No, no, no.
John Clay Wolf
And he. I just I'm just surprised that Glenn.
J.D. Ryan
Does Stein have his own show on?
John Clay Wolf
Glenn? He's paid by the Blaze. He's paid by Glenn Beck. Yes.
J.D. Ryan
No idea. He had his own show. I thought he was just a stick.
John Clay Wolf
You didn't see me on it that.
J.D. Ryan
Night, but I didn't think it was on anymore after I saw.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, not.
J.D. Ryan
It wasn't you. It's just that he.
John Clay Wolf
Off the wall. He had that weird black guy that was, that was kissing that baby. And I mean, it was like. It was Tom. It was Tom Green on acid.
J.D. Ryan
I figured that would last about three weeks with Glenn Beck. And he'd go, not a good idea.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Richard Rollins
It's such a train wreck. You just, you watch it.
Unknown
You watch it.
Richard Rollins
You're just constantly. Okay, what the hell is going on? I remember you on there, John, and you looked so uncomfortable.
John Clay Wolf
Like, what do you do?
Richard Rollins
You're like, I'm rethinking everything right now.
J.D. Ryan
Right.
John Clay Wolf
What am I doing?
J.D. Ryan
Why am I here? How can I get out of here?
Unknown
That's got to be one of the most bizarre things you've done.
John Clay Wolf
Did you watch it? Yeah. I didn't tell anybody because I knew it was going to be weird and I didn't really want to let anybody know.
Unknown
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And y', all, I, I, I sit totally. A tape of it, and he's like, oh, my God. I mean, I think he'd rather seen a tape of my porno with a dog. I don't, I don't have that tape either, but.
J.D. Ryan
Doesn't exist. Dude, that's so.
Unknown
And Turley knows, you know, he's a, he's a degreed broadcaster.
John Clay Wolf
Well, and you just.
Richard Rollins
I was like, okay, John, you don't want this out because you're worried about your career. That's worried about.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, he's a. Alex Stein's a hoot anyway.
Richard Rollins
But he's got the balls to do something like that. That's kind of.
J.D. Ryan
Can you imagine?
Richard Rollins
You got to give him a little credit.
John Clay Wolf
I guess I'll give him a lot of credit, but he's, he's, he's obnoxious.
J.D. Ryan
He's very talented, but nobody will ever take him seriously under any circumstances because he's just thrown himself out like this.
John Clay Wolf
He's a crash comedian.
J.D. Ryan
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
That's good.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, that's good description.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, Bob. Oh, I asked you earlier. I'm going to ask you. And we please free email me today's run. Shoot. Yes, thanks. I need it because I'm the host of the show.
Unknown
I have twice okay, I'll do it again.
John Clay Wolf
You did it to this morning?
Unknown
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so I don't have it. All right, so, jd, I need you to keep going because I have nothing in front of me. Oh, okay.
J.D. Ryan
Well, we just got the news a little bit ago, so we're good. Hey, this is kind of odd. Every once in a while, a little video shows up of some. Something that looks strange, maybe like an alien. This California family. The door. Everybody's got these doorbell cameras now. So anything goes off and you get it recorded. Two alien like, feet, figures, walked by their house in Compton. This is a local TV news report. We're going to hear just a moment featuring the homeowner, Jessica Ortiz, and a paranormal expert talking about the footage. Are they aliens? Are they not? Cut one.
Unknown
I was sitting in my sun's room with my son.
John Clay Wolf
We were staring at each other like, what do we do? We didn't even know what to do. Like, I'm. I'm not going to call the police. I'm not going to go outside.
Unknown
I guess I'm going to have to live with the doubt because I'm not. I'm not checking.
Richard Rollins
I wouldn't see there's anything to worry about. But I cannot conclude that this is a hoax after seeing that footage, that's for sure.
J.D. Ryan
It's just odd. The two little. And they look just like the creatures you'd see in, like, third. What's. What's called the movie Third. Close Encounters of the Third Gun. Just exactly like those. And they just pop up on the screen and they walk off.
Unknown
Yeah, their heads were really big in the back.
J.D. Ryan
But here's the point. Is anyone ever, ever gonna believe. If aliens showed up tomorrow on the lawn of the White House, would anybody believe it?
Unknown
It would have to be something like that. Anywhere.
John Clay Wolf
Anywhere.
J.D. Ryan
You're not gonna believe anything you ever see from now until eternity. You're never gonna believe it.
Richard Rollins
I have to experience it. Or somebody that I trust.
John Clay Wolf
Experience, experience. Who do you trust? You don't trust anybody, pretty much.
J.D. Ryan
If there's any video anywhere of anybody showing up doing something weird, from now on, what we've seen with AI, we're never going to believe it. Ever.
Richard Rollins
Yeah, you're exactly right. Because everybody can make it up.
John Clay Wolf
But now everybody can get away with everything because then you say it's AI.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, that's true. No, that wasn't me. That's AI.
John Clay Wolf
Please.
J.D. Ryan
Really? Me and the sheep. Stop it.
John Clay Wolf
God.
Unknown
You know, it's pretty. It's pretty convincing, though. When you watch things like the Ghost hunters. People love these shows, you know, paranormal experiences. But they never get a picture of a ghost, though, do they ever?
John Clay Wolf
No.
J.D. Ryan
How do those shows stay on? How do the ghost shows, the paranormal stuff stay on? Because all they do is they get the camera and they go, did you hear that?
John Clay Wolf
There's a light.
Richard Rollins
Oh, it flickered.
John Clay Wolf
That's the ghost. That's it.
J.D. Ryan
I know you heard that noise. Yeah, it's your producer off camera going, brrr.
Richard Rollins
Have you ever done one of those stupid seance things like experience it? The ghosts are supposed to be in the room.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, yeah. When he had the TV show, Russ Martin and I, we did a thing. There was a catfish restaurant in Waco that was supposedly haunted. So we down there and set up the whole Sam's thing and we never saw.
John Clay Wolf
Is that where there's like a big fat ugly girl that's at the other end of it for you?
J.D. Ryan
No, I don't believe that's. I don't believe that's what happened that particular day, John. I'm trying to remember, but I don't think so.
John Clay Wolf
Well, you said a catfish restaurant.
J.D. Ryan
Catfish. Oh, I got you. Well, they actually make only you.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. I'm done for the day. I've done my work here. Good work. I'm going back to bed.
Unknown
A haunted catfish restaurant.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, down in Waco. It's haunted. It's very famous, and they've been there forever. And their big thing is.
John Clay Wolf
How much time do we have?
Richard Rollins
You got a minute?
John Clay Wolf
Do we have time for the haunted catfish to come on the air?
Richard Rollins
Oh, I'm sure we do. We can. We can always have time for the channel.
J.D. Ryan
The catfish.

Unknown
I subject to you, sir. Rather than gay, which is more of a jolly experience. We are all simply happy. But you know who made us most happy, Though we had to die for your enjoyment, our delicious flavor, the lady that put that together for us. For years was El Dean. Geraldine came. She was the tartar sauce woman at the catfish restaurant, Catfish Plantation. And, you know, she died. And she's with us now, too.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, really didn't know this? No, I didn't know she died. We didn't interview her.
Richard Rollins
Oh, wait, she's coming.
J.D. Ryan
Here she comes.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, everybody.
Unknown
I just want y' all to know these catfish was mostly my friends. I would eat them every day. And though they was passed. Yes, I feel like they enjoyed it very much.
John Clay Wolf

Tartar sauce. Tartar tartar sauce all over the table, all over. Their lovely skin fried to a golden, crispy perfection. That's cause of me, Geraldine. And now I'm dead and spending my time with the catfish. I love them so.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, Geraldine. Yeah. Good to see you.
Unknown
Y' all want some tartar sauce with that?
John Clay Wolf
Now, what happened to the gay, black catfish Southern? What was his name? I don't remember.

John Clay Wolf
Oh, I like him a lot. Yeah.
Richard Rollins
Oh, here comes again.
J.D. Ryan
He needs to come back and be on a T shirt.
Unknown
You know, I forgot to introduce myself when I was sitting time with y' all here at your table. It's hard for you to tell. And I forgive you for your failure to recognize gender.
John Clay Wolf
Yes, yes.
Unknown
But I am a female catfish. I have a low voice because I am a bottom feeder.
John Clay Wolf
Are you the one that keeps throwing the dildos out on the floor of the WNBA games?
Unknown
Sir, as a catfish, you know, I have no fingers, so I'm unable to throw anything any. Well, but if you want to know my name, it is Joanna. And I appreciate Cool and the gang making a song about me years ago, and that makes it all feel so good. And Geraldine is a big woman. Even dad, she big. But she dances so fine to that song. Joanna, I love you. And they sang a song about the catfish. Then they cut my head off and fried me.
J.D. Ryan
Right?
Unknown
So lovely.

Bob Turley

Unknown
Some dude yammering down 67 francs, bro.
John Clay Wolf
It's like the Super Bowl. Yeah.
Unknown
We're back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by. Give me the vid dot com.
John Clay Wolf
That guy cracks up, man. Theovon is something else. You know, Corolla and them really don't like him. Why?
J.D. Ryan
Why not?
John Clay Wolf
Because he used to come on Adam's show a lot, but he was a prep and like he changed his shtick. It changed his whole Persona and now he's hit it big. And he doesn't sound like he's taking very good care of his old homies.
Unknown
Well, showbiz, you know, he's coming a long way in a couple years. The Ovon? Yeah, long way. I showed you a deal with him that we picked up somewhere about talking about some wild animal or something I thought was hilarious. And you didn't like it at the time.
John Clay Wolf
I watch his reels more than.
Unknown
Well, since then he's come. He's come along, he's come around. It's like Yellowstone at first, right? You weren't aware of the first two seasons, but it finally.
John Clay Wolf
I watched the first episode of Yellowstone. I stopped halfway through. I wouldn't. I didn't like it.
Unknown
That's showbiz, you know, Theo Vaughn has come a long way in a long time. He's. It's like Rogan and Theo Vaughn now.
John Clay Wolf
Right, Right, right.
Unknown
That's pretty high cotton, Stern.
John Clay Wolf
It doesn't sound like they're going to renew his contract in any level of heights. So I heard that he doesn't want to keep. I mean, the headline is Stern's getting canceled. That's not. No, it's not true. What's true is that Stern's hundred million dollar deal is getting not renewed. It's up in October, November, and he's going to probably take bids for. He's not quitting. I mean, he's 70, 71, 72.
Richard Rollins
Well, yeah, they're going to make him an offer, but they're already saying that he's not going to accept that offer. So it's not going to be like as much as he was making before. Do you know how much he's made?
John Clay Wolf
I mean, I haven't added it up. No.
Richard Rollins
Have you $1 billion in contract.
John Clay Wolf
1 billion so he should have kept half of that. Well, yeah, he's got taxes.
Richard Rollins
He's worth 650.
J.D. Ryan
650?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. I mean, he is out of the Hebrew genre, so he might have saved a little bit.
Richard Rollins
Yeah, he's got a couple houses.
John Clay Wolf
What? Bob?
Unknown
No, I'm trying to think of what that means. The Hebrew genre.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Unknown
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
It's like a.
Unknown
He's of the Hebrew persuasion.
John Clay Wolf
It's a kosher deli.
Unknown
Okay. Is Howard Stern Jewish?
John Clay Wolf
A touch. Just.
Unknown
I did not know that.
John Clay Wolf
Just a touch. JD what have you got in the news?
J.D. Ryan
Speaking of Jewish, first of all, we have people on the. The Stream, on our YouTube stream. Go to jcwshow.com and go to the YouTube stream. And somebody. Scott Stevens has given you 9.99, John, for your jet fuel bill on your Falcon.
John Clay Wolf
Is that Scott from Vegas?
J.D. Ryan
That is Scott from Vegas.
John Clay Wolf
That's fine.
J.D. Ryan
I want to get the engines running.
Unknown
Will it.
John Clay Wolf
Rollins actually paid for all that because we're up here at broadcasting from Gas Monkey Sturgis live this morning.
J.D. Ryan
How are things there? Good.
John Clay Wolf
Everything's besides 6 in the morning, J.D. cool and beautiful.
J.D. Ryan
And the weather's nice.
John Clay Wolf
It is cool. And what is 50, 50 degrees outside or 40? It's just perfect. It's crazy. It's like a little bit cold.
Unknown
It's wonderful.
John Clay Wolf
Sun's beaming. It's beautiful.
J.D. Ryan
We know where it's hot and humid, don't you? Florida.
John Clay Wolf
Florida.
Unknown
And now, from North America's own land down under, it's time for Sunshine State News with your certified lifeguard, J.D.
John Clay Wolf
Ryan.
J.D. Ryan
Okay, you think winning the lottery would make your life perfect? Do you think having all that money would just make you just cool? What I found out is people with money, they're either if they were really cool people before, they become more cool, and if there were jerks before, they're just bigger jerks. A day after claiming $167 million power jackpot, James Farthing, a career criminal and ex con, was in a Florida reserve resort, bragging about his money, telling everybody how rich he was, and got into a fight, of course he did. With the guy who called him a liar. Ended up getting tased and taken down by the cops. Yes, this is our lotto loser of the day. Cut number nine.
John Clay Wolf
Put your hands behind your back right now against the wall.
J.D. Ryan
There's that noise. We ought to love that sound.
John Clay Wolf
How we're on the ground there. He kicked me in the face. He's going, all right, sorry. Save your sorry for later.
J.D. Ryan
Get yourself out of prison. With your lot of winnings. God. Anyway, so that's going to be. He'll be bankrupt in three years.
Richard Rollins
I'll just say he'll be dead in three years.
Bob Turley
Right.
J.D. Ryan
And that's happened a lot.
Unknown
There.
J.D. Ryan
There used to be a TV show called the Lottery Winnings Ruined My Life. And there were stories about people that literally ended up dead.
Unknown
Why does that happen, J.D.
J.D. Ryan
Because. What causes that? Because they have no sense of how to deal with money. When they were medium income and they just get insanely crazy. They buy everything they touch. They give everything to their friends and their neighbors. And then they turn around, they're broke, or they're in jail or they're dead. I had a friend. I had a friend that won the lottery, Texas Lottery, $29 million. Drank himself to death.
Richard Rollins
So no one responsible ever wins. Right? That's pretty much what I'm sure they do.
J.D. Ryan
You don't hear about them because they were. They went off, did cool things. They, you know, they bought a ranch. They bought, you know, some horses. They. They just went away. They shut up. That's what I would do, which is go away. Unlike this guy on an American Airlines flight. He was out of Orlando. That's why it's a Florida story. He's being ripped online for unloading on a flight attendant. So he's in the bathroom and he's vaping, which is a federal offense. I don't care if you cigarettes, cigars or vaping. It's still a federal offense. He admits to doing it, but then he flips the script and he plays the victim on the flight attendant. He turns his camera on.
John Clay Wolf
You've touched me.
J.D. Ryan
You leave me alone. Cut number 10 here.
John Clay Wolf
I was actually sitting on the toilet. You were opening the door. I don't care. I'm sorry about that. You can keep saying you're sorry, but I'm here. I got it. Yes. I got it.
Bob Turley
Yes. You're not allowed to do that.
John Clay Wolf
She just put her hands on me. Yes, she did. I have a lawyer. Lawyer. I am a lawyer.
Bob Turley
I'm a lawyer.
John Clay Wolf
Put your hands on me. I have 45,000 followers that are going to watch this. Yes, I know. This is the world we live in, ladies and gentlemen.
J.D. Ryan
Absolutely. This guy has blue spiked hair. I doubt he's a lawyer.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, he sounds like Zielinski these days.
J.D. Ryan
Exactly.
John Clay Wolf
You've touched me. Stop it.
J.D. Ryan
She reached out. Yeah, she, us.
John Clay Wolf
You better give me money or I'm going to post on social media that y' all are bad.
J.D. Ryan
That's exactly what. And you're meanwhile, you're doing a federal offense. You're smoking on an airplane. You knew you shouldn't be doing it.
Unknown
Yeah, some people never come clean, man. Hey, they catch you vaping on a plane, you say, oh, sorry about that. I didn't know.
J.D. Ryan
That's exactly what you do. And you put it away and you go, I really didn't realize that. Sorry about that. My bad. And you, don't turn your camera on. Be a jerk.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of Zelensky, he rejected a territory swap that Trump was trying to put together to end their war.
Richard Rollins
You mean he didn't want to give up some of his land?
John Clay Wolf
I mean, come on.
J.D. Ryan
Territory swap sounds like. Yeah.

That's where all the people are okay. I mean, that's where they stay. And in the town, it looks like a carnival that doesn't end kind of. I mean, miles and miles of tents and vendors and stuff. And these people do all their business for the year up here in one month.
Unknown
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
Like these monster bars, they close when this is over. They're up here for one month or two months, yeah.
J.D. Ryan
The population is 7,000 people. Any other given time of the year, how many people do you think there now, John?
John Clay Wolf
A couple hundred thousand.
J.D. Ryan
For a town that's built for 7,000.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
Richard Rollins
And so you were at the full throttle full.
John Clay Wolf
Well, there's two. There's, there's, there's. Wait. Broken spoke. There's broken spoke. The big ones are broken spoke, Full Throttle and Buffalo Chip. Full Throttle is the largest one.

Richard Rollins
You haven't gone into the camps. Deep into the camps.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Richard Rollins
You got to go do that.
John Clay Wolf
It's not cheap to do this. So I mean, I mean, it's not. It's not a crappy crowd.
Unknown
Right.
John Clay Wolf
It's a bunch of professional people and normal people that are dressed up when they're Halloween costume with their bikes. Yeah.
Unknown
This is a bunch of people's vacation. This is what they do.
John Clay Wolf
I can tell you that. Driving in from the airport, I was looking at all these bikers without their helmets on, and I was like, you guys are a bunch of idiots. And then I. You look up two hours later, and I'm riding the damn highway with my old lady on the back. Riding without my helmet on, on a beautiful chopper. Oh, yeah.
Unknown
Beautiful job.
Richard Rollins
How far a ride did you go?
John Clay Wolf
Hour and a half. Oh, wow.
J.D. Ryan
Geez.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it was fun. We stopped at a bar out in the middle of nowhere and had a beer called the Stump. And you know, I'm doing the same thing I'm not a street bike guy because I've always been scared of the cars. For good reason. When the cars hit you, it's very painful. But, yeah, I, I, I def. I got a Rollins chopper yesterday and went for a ride. I didn't realize it was a sacred cow. So, like, everybody's mad at me for taking his bike.
Richard Rollins
What's that mean?
John Clay Wolf
Like, I. I wasn't supposed to take his bike, I guess.
Richard Rollins
What?
John Clay Wolf
Hold on.
J.D. Ryan
There are some people that would rather share their wife with you than their bike.
Richard Rollins
So, wait, you took a bike that's, like, his sacred cow?
John Clay Wolf
Yes. Did he know that you took it, or no?
J.D. Ryan
Probably. He does now.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I sent him a text, and I said, I said, hey, I want to go ride. Do you have a bike I can ride? And he said, yeah. And. And I said, I don't want to. I said, I don't want to ride the chopper because it has ape hangers on it. I've never ridden ape hangers. And so I took that out of the question, right? And he said, ride this one. I said. He said, but there's no back seat. So I started looking at it, and I couldn't take my wife with me on that one. So I was like, well, there's that damn chopper. I can ride a painters. Let's just go. And I didn't think it was. I thought he just bought it, like, a couple months ago because it was in the shop at the. In Dallas. And then everybody's like, oh, my God. I can't believe John took off on Richard's, you know, bike. Oh, no. I didn't think that big deal of it. And when he rolled up, I was like, hey, we had the best ride, and it was a blast. And, And, I mean, I said, I like that green bike. I said, what's so special about that green bike? Everywhere we stop, people were oohing and on over it. I mean, I think it's nice, but I didn't know it was that big a deal. He said, you took my green bike? Yeah. He's like, you're kidding me, right? I'm like, no. Why? What's the problem? And there's a problem.
Unknown
And the atmosphere changed immediately.
Bob Turley
Right.
J.D. Ryan
About the fact you're out there without a helmet?
Richard Rollins
No, John, just think about it. Okay? So what's your prize car here?
J.D. Ryan
Right?
John Clay Wolf
I don't have one. Okay. No, I. I did think about it, Mike. And he and I have enough going on between us that there's not a car in my world that he couldn't drive. Not one. Yeah, not one. So I can't wait till he gets here. We talk this out.
Richard Rollins
Yeah, this is.
Unknown

John Clay Wolf
I did think about it.
Richard Rollins
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
You know, and. No. And that's.
Richard Rollins
That's. That's your personality. But I guess he's a little bit more protective.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. I mean, it's a. It's a chopper. Well, I mean, I don't know.
Richard Rollins
How much was the chopper?
John Clay Wolf
He said he's had it for 28 years.
Richard Rollins
I don't know, like a collector item of some sort.
John Clay Wolf
I don't know. It's a motorcycle. I mean, I've got motorcycles. You want to ride one? Get up on it. Go. You lay it down. Get it fixed. It's not. I mean, a problem. Why is everybody so uptight? Jesus Christ. I mean.
Richard Rollins
So you were really getting that much?
John Clay Wolf
Hell, no. I mean, I just felt it. Nobody. Nobody. And then we. Then we put a reel out on. On Instagram. And I'm sure he's gonna be pissed at that because it's me riding his. I guess it's like me riding his girlfriend. Yes.

John Clay Wolf
I know, man, but I was just trying to, like. I just wanted to be one with the world, you know? I mean, when in Rome, you know? So I just did it.
J.D. Ryan
How many of us are hanging on to your coattails, please?
John Clay Wolf
And I already crashed my motorcycle yesterday morning before I came to work. I got up at sunup and tried to do a couple laps and ate it and went into a fence. Look at my skin up. I got a cut on my head. Hell, I figured I'd already got my wreck out of the way for the day. My name is John Clay Wolf by Cars and Radio for America's best car buyer.

Because, see, you're answering early.
John Clay Wolf
Who's breast milk?
Unknown
There's a small batch ice cream company based in New York City.
John Clay Wolf
I don't like the small batch sound.
Unknown
They release a limited number of pints of bread milk flavored ice cream. Not goats, not cows.
J.D. Ryan
We get it, we get it.
Unknown
But human breast milk, I think if.
John Clay Wolf
It came with a picture of the breast that it came out with and that would be how they reflavor them.
Unknown
I think it's just fascinating.
John Clay Wolf
But think about that. So you got a pint, right. Of breast milk, ice cream, y. And you know, cookies and cream. And that doesn't sound good. But you got a picture of the chicken on the label and you pick from that.

Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Puerto Rican, black girl, white girl, real white girl, ginger. Right. You know, and that's how they name the breast milks.

J.D. Ryan
Yes, you are incorrect. Have you ever has anyone on the show ever tried it? From my cat.

J.D. Ryan
All right.
John Clay Wolf
There's moments in time that you block out. It's. It's too painful.
J.D. Ryan
I. There's nothing. Nothing to do with the breast that you've blocked out, John.
John Clay Wolf
That's your.
J.D. Ryan
That's your focus, man. So would you mind when you go to commercial.
John Clay Wolf

John Clay Wolf

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio Trevor in Amarillo. I do not know what you're talking about. It says he has the same brand. Oh, W6. Ah, ah, ah. Okay, so you're the. Your ranch brand is also W6.
Bob Turley
Yes, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bob Turley
I was gonna say you got pretty good taste. My. My boys were watching your podcast the other evening, and, hey, they called me up, said, hey, dad, you got to see this. They rewound it. And I was watching you sip through your coffee cup or whatnot, and I was like, oh, no.
John Clay Wolf
Did you actually write it the same way? Did you. Did you use the same W? Yes, sir. Really?
Bob Turley
Yes, sir. I cannot make it up.
John Clay Wolf
Yes, sir. I can tell you I did not steal it from you. You stole it from me because.
Bob Turley
No.
John Clay Wolf
How long have you had yours?
Bob Turley
Sooner? 17.
John Clay Wolf
I've made mine up. Four years ago. Lahunta Camp La Honda. My kids. Camp Flying W's, right. Or running W. I'm down there. They have that on the shirt. I'm like, that would be good on a brand. So I copied that and then I did the six. Because there's six of us.
Bob Turley
Yes, sir. So, I mean, no, no, I guess, I guess. Oh, we, we started ours back in 2017.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bob Turley
And I went, I went through all the brand books and whatnot, and I didn't find anything remotely close to it until about two days ago.
Richard Rollins
Who's copyrighted, though?
John Clay Wolf
Nobody's got a copyrighted. Probably it's just a brand. But I, I was. No, a buddy of mine's got W4 down the street, but I didn't know him when I. And I was going to do W4 because four kids and they're like, dude, there's a W. A big W4 ranch down the street. And about down the street in the country is a half hour. Right. So I didn't do that. That's why I went with six.
Richard Rollins
All right, so you're getting shaken down right now.
John Clay Wolf
What's going on? A little bit. I'm gonna send him some Puerto Rican breast milk ice cream. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. I know how to calm people down. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

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
And this is the lightning round. This is where we buy the cars from you guys. Keith in Florida, 2021 BMW, BMW competition package. The M2 little car, six speed, 8,000 miles. Okay, I see your notes that you paid 8,350? You paid 65 for it with 2,000 miles. You think it's worth 60 now with eight? Yep, I. I did. While we were on break, I was doing a little research, and I found one that I can buy at Carbico. That's a 21 with 1200 miles. Six speed comp. I can buy it for 58 grand. It's 1200 miles in white.
Bob Turley
Okay, gotcha. This one's Hockingham silver.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Buy it now. 60. No, no, 56. 50. Buy it now is 56. 990. Or you can bid at 54. 9 90. So if you think yours is worth 60 with 8,000 miles. Sounds like I should buy this one for 55 grand with 1200.
Bob Turley
Understandable.
John Clay Wolf
Do you want to partner with me? We're gonna make some money.
Bob Turley
What?
John Clay Wolf
Can. Can you. Can you sell it for more? We'll just partner it.
Bob Turley
I haven't put it out there. I was trying to get an idea of what the car was worth, and I figured you were the best guys to ask.
John Clay Wolf
I'm just playing around with if I'm not busting balls. If I'm not busting balls and you're not, you're talking to an impersonator because that's my job. All right. Thank you for calling in. I know.

Two hours throughout the day.
Unknown
Usually I would commit a crime as soon as I woke up in the morning. Like, don't talk to me until I've done some crime. A little rise in crime, if you will.
J.D. Ryan
Sometimes I would roll up a crime.
John Clay Wolf
And then I would smoke the whole crime.
J.D. Ryan
And then I would. And then I would forget that I.
Bob Turley
Had just rolled and smoked crime.
John Clay Wolf
And then I would turn to my.

That's a crime spree, I believe.

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
Richard Rollins
I rode into Sturgis, right?
J.D. Ryan
Very cool.
Unknown
I can see there. It looks like. It look like you're in a different place than usual, John. I see a lot of motorcycles.
J.D. Ryan
Oh, he's in Sturgis.
Unknown
Hey, y'.
John Clay Wolf
All.
Unknown
Funnel cake. This week's mail from jail entry reads, hello, John Clay and the Wolf Pack. I love tuning into y' all Saturday mornings with my little old jail radio. You guys remind me of my old beer drinking buddies back home. We used to spend every night just cutting up and getting tore down until we passed out. I'm doing a few years now for being in the wrong place at the the wrong time. Honestly, me and a few others got caught with a U haul truck full of close to 200 pounds of marijuana and about 20 pounds of methamphetamines mixed in there. Now, I had no idea about the meth and I'll stand by that. But unfortunately, that's not how the court sees it. So I'll be locked down here for a while. I do really think somebody snitched on us. And if they did and they hear this, just know I have not forgot about you.
John Clay Wolf
You.
Unknown
You guys have that Hannah the Stripper on your show. She's my favorite. I spent a lot of late nights in strip joints, and I swear I've run across a hundred just like her. Made me feel like I was back in that leather chair with a handful of singles and a sexy little kitty on my lap. So I want to give some love to my favorite dancers, Diamond, Ariana, Sparkle and Baby Girl. I sure hope your girls are just as fine and still working that pole when I make my way out to Sturgis with you next time around.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, wow.
Unknown
Hey, let me know if there's any way I can make some money out there, too, would you? I'm no good at drawing or poetry like some of these other jailbirds, but I do know my way around a beer pong table. You get what I'm saying? I think you do. Maybe we could even start a professional league in the meantime. Hasta la vista, fellas. The toker. Tony Stokes, Oklahoma Department of Corrections. Partner, if you've got mail from jail, why don't you just send it down the line to us here at P.O. box 471517. That is in Fort Worth, Texas. The zip code is 76147.
John Clay Wolf
What's it sound like in the background? Remember when I did the show from the racetrack in Wisconsin a couple weeks ago?
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, it sounds great.
Richard Rollins
Yeah. You guys sound good.
J.D. Ryan
Hear the bikes okay?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. They're getting loud. I didn't know if it was drowning everybody out.
Richard Rollins
No, it's just background sound.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's pretty up here. This is. I understand why people make the. The pilgrimage.
J.D. Ryan
Describe it to us a little bit. Is it mountains? Is it hills? I really don't know.
John Clay Wolf
Yes. Yes. Like, look up Devil's tower. And the Mount Rushmore.
J.D. Ryan
Was that there?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Mount Rushmore is 45 minutes from here. Okay.
Richard Rollins
Have you gone to that yet?
John Clay Wolf
No, I got here yesterday at three, Mike.
Richard Rollins
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
I don't know.
J.D. Ryan
I mean, motorcycle ride on.
John Clay Wolf
I'm being sarcastic. No, we are actually going to drive.
Bob Turley
When?
John Clay Wolf
We're leaving today, I think we're gonna go out there.
Richard Rollins
I'm gonna say it's a little underwhelming.
John Clay Wolf
You know, I was looking at pictures. You've been to Rushmore, and you don't think it's worth the journey?
Richard Rollins
No. Maybe on a bike, it's cool, but when you're there, it's kind of like, okay, we're here.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. You're such a negative prick.
Richard Rollins
I'm not trying to be a negative prick.
John Clay Wolf
I was looking forward to.
Richard Rollins
It is much smaller.
J.D. Ryan
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Why were you out here? We're like. Like family vacation club.
Richard Rollins
No, we were covering the event this radio show did. We did wild ass events, and Sturgis is a wild ass event. And we went out there and we actually interviewed. What's his name? Sonny Jurgensen. The guy from Hell's Angels.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, really?
Richard Rollins
That was scary as hell.
John Clay Wolf
Literally.
Richard Rollins
I mean, it was. He was in a little cabin and he had a little voice coder. How he talked. Yeah, I mean, it was.
John Clay Wolf
I ride motorcycles and kill people and screw horses.
Richard Rollins
He didn't do any of that. John, be careful. You're out there right now.
John Clay Wolf
Is he still alive?
Richard Rollins
Yes.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, okay. I'll take it all back.
Unknown
They've got a storefront.
John Clay Wolf
Get all back.
Unknown
It's just around the corner. Do you know that there's a Hell's angel storefront just around the corner? I was there yesterday.
John Clay Wolf
If you shut up.
Richard Rollins
Well, no, no, just be nice.
Unknown
Nobody's gonna mess with you while I'm around, okay?
Richard Rollins
I. I wish you guys could. Hopefully, maybe you can grab somebody that's in one of these different groups. It's really fascinating, their stories. They have.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, what year was that when you were up here at Sturgis?
Richard Rollins
Oh, let's see. That was 07.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's been a while. Oh, yeah, it's been a while. Yes.
J.D. Ryan
Keep it up. Just keep it up.
Unknown
The most interesting person I've met since I've been to Sturgis. We got up. Now, listen, Braden and I are up at 4 o' clock in the morning, okay? Because we're staying nearly an hour away from here. We have to come and set up early. We get up, we go outside. There's a guy standing there. Doesn't look like he's been asleep. There may. There may have been alcohol involved. He was very animated. He's talking to us.
John Clay Wolf
He said, hey, man, a little bit of tranquility.
Unknown
I saved a guy's life on the fourth floor earlier this morning, and they asked me to come stand out here. He's standing outside if you gotta smoke. And we were talking to the guys, okay? Then his buddy comes up, and his buddy looks just like Captain Caveman. Do you remember Captain Caveman?
John Clay Wolf
The cartoon Captain Caveman.
Unknown
So he walks up and Braden says, are you a biker? He says, brayden, sound like that? No, he doesn't sound like that. That's what I do.
John Clay Wolf
Are you a biker?
Unknown
He goes, no way. I tried, but, man, I didn't. I didn't make it.
John Clay Wolf
How do you not make it as a biker?
Unknown
I don't know how did he not make it as a biker? He ran his motorcycle into somebody's barbed wire fence and cut himself up.
John Clay Wolf
That was me yesterday.
Unknown
He just. I don't know. He. I guess he's just not born to rap.
John Clay Wolf
I got up yesterday morning, sun up 6, 15, and I'm like, I'm gonna go do two laps. That's 20 miles on the cross country trail before I go out of town and get to work, get some exercise. And I sat there and looked at my bike for 15 minutes before I got on it, thinking, maybe I shouldn't because I'm going out of town. Then I'm going to car week next week. I've got a lot of plans on a road trip, and all I need to do is hurt myself before this. Should I, should I not? Should I, Should I not? Ah, yeah. Let's go. Get on. Crash into a fence, all scratched up. I'm laying there. Rip the. Rip the lights off of my bike, the enduro bike. And I'm laying there on the ground saying, well, probably shouldn't have. Probably shouldn't have. Well, do you still see. Is the cut on my eye gone?
Unknown
No. You still got it.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Unknown
It's little. It'll go away, man.
John Clay Wolf
And then I got drunk and fell off a bench yesterday. Not drunk, but been drinking. There's a difference. And we were sitting right over there, and I was talking to these people. I didn't realize I was on the edge of the bench. So when I spin to the right to talk to this guy, one ass cheek fell off the bench.
Unknown
Oh, no.
John Clay Wolf
And I had a beer. In left hand. No, in right hand. And so instead of dropping beer and saving the fall, I protected beer.
Richard Rollins
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
But I went hard down on a knee and then rolled it out. And I was like, oh, no big deal. But I'm. I'm pretty hurt today. So between those two accidents, maybe I should just sit still.
Richard Rollins
But no one. No one even said anything right. They're just kind of like, that's just a normal surge of things.
Unknown
I miss that totally.
John Clay Wolf
No, I mean, everybody did except my wife. That's.
Unknown
That's how you want to fall down. Nobody sees it.
John Clay Wolf
She.
Richard Rollins
Is she the type that's going to remind you of this?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, yeah. She reminded me of the last time I was late to a radio show. I'm not going to tell that story right now. The one time I've been late is because she wasn't there and my phone went dead. I can't get into it. I can't get into it. I don't believe what she's telling me to be true. I think she's lying about what I did.
J.D. Ryan
Considering what you just said. You really think she's exaggerating? You just fell off a bench in Sturgis.
John Clay Wolf
Have you never fallen off a bench?
J.D. Ryan
Not since I've been sober.
John Clay Wolf
I wasn't even drunk. I'd had three beers. I mean, it was just bad time. It was badass places.
J.D. Ryan
Did you go ride the motorcycle in the rain after you've been drinking and fell off the bench? I'm just wondering.
John Clay Wolf
No, no. Okay. That was. Fall was after the motor motorcycle ride.
J.D. Ryan
Get you. Who's a big boy?
John Clay Wolf
Thank you. Thank you.
Richard Rollins
Save the beer.
John Clay Wolf
And I think I might. Rollins is going to be here a little bit. We're going to talk about this bike problem we've got, and I want to go ride it again. I. I know that I win the argument if I go ride it again after.
J.D. Ryan
Yeah, he should trust you with all the scratches on your face.
Richard Rollins
Double down. Why not?
John Clay Wolf
Right? Double down. No helmet this time. No shirt. There you go. Yeah. No shirt, no helmet. Damn.
J.D. Ryan
Good call.
John Clay Wolf
Maybe a tattoo can you have? We'll be right back. My name is John Clay Wolf. We're coming at you live from Gas Monkey, Sturgis in Sturgis, South Dakota. You could turn us on the YouTube stream jcwshow.com and click right through that. We've got video going, everything's working. And we'll be right back.
Unknown
Now back to the John Clay Wolf Show. Hit him up right now. 1-800-800-RODE. This is the John Clay Wolf Show.
John Clay Wolf
Morning America. Coast. Coast to coast. We are coming to you live from Sturgis, South Dakota. Where'd you guys come in from? Where? Colorado. I've met a lot of people up there coming in from all over. Turley, what you mentioned a moment ago about a guy that you interviewed up here, that was a Hell's Angels fella. What's his name? Sonny. Who?
Richard Rollins
Sonny.
John Clay Wolf
Is it? Jurgens. Right, Jurgens, Maryland, in Arkansas. Who is it?
Bob Turley
Sonny Barger.
John Clay Wolf
Barger.
Richard Rollins
Barger.
John Clay Wolf
Sorry. Oops. And I am safe because why, Marilyn?
Bob Turley
Because Sunny passed away in 2022.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, there you go.
Richard Rollins
Okay. See, Turley, I didn't know he died then.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, all right. You're good.
Richard Rollins
But yet still don't make fun of you.
J.D. Ryan
Doesn't have any friends.
John Clay Wolf
I'm not making fun of anybody.
Bob Turley
He was the founder of the Oakland chapter.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And was that the guy in the 60s with all the Jefferson Airplane and the ride in San Fran.
Bob Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Gotcha. Actually, Jefferson Starship played up here a couple of nights ago. I'd like to sing that. Does Grace Slick and Marty Boland still sing together? Bob, did you know Jefferson Starship was up here the other night, or is that just a tribute band? I don't know. I know they did Stone Temple Pilots last night. Nope.
J.D. Ryan
They're tonight. Stone Temple Pilots are tonight. Marilyn Manson was last night.
John Clay Wolf
Gotcha.
Unknown
Last time Starship was out there, they had Mickey Thomas, and it was Mickey Thomas's Starship. Because I think Marty Balin died. Right? Paul Cantner died a long time ago. Grace Lick is still alive. She's 114.
John Clay Wolf
And I have.
Unknown
I haven't seen anything about Star, you know, Starship being out there, but it's possible.
John Clay Wolf
800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio is the call in number. Hey, guys, is my son Maddox there in the studio? Can you hit the mic to him?
J.D. Ryan
Yes, he is.
John Clay Wolf
So, Max, is your friend going to call in? I. I don't know. He's. He's setting it up. Why is it echoing?
Richard Rollins
Yeah, they got the PA pointed the wrong way.
John Clay Wolf
Braden, you need to point the PA out. But it's. It's whipping.
Richard Rollins
It pointed outside.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. So the. The reason this kid's gonna call in is his parents are First. First Methodist. No, Witnesses, Jehovah Witness. Oh. And he did not subscribe. So once he graduated high school, they kicked him out of the house.
Unknown
Why?
John Clay Wolf
And disowned him. Really? Yeah.
Unknown
That's terrible.
John Clay Wolf
Isn't that wild? That's terrible when religion's gone too far.
Richard Rollins
So where's he at now?
John Clay Wolf
He's going to UT Arlington, I think. He moved in a couple days ago. He's been living in a hotel. He's been bouncing around houses and living in a hotel. I tried to get. I tried to let him stay with us, but my dad was a mean old bastard.
Richard Rollins
You don't want to take an estray John?
John Clay Wolf
No. But I did not realize at the time what was really going on. I thought that he was being lazy and they were trying to get him just to go to work.
Richard Rollins
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And so they kicked him out of the house. Said, go, you're a man now. Go get a job. And I was like, I'm not bringing this deal on. Let him go get a job. And I didn't realize that his mother disowned him because he's not of her faith. What the hell is that all about? It's what I told you. I mean, he did It. If you're a Jehovah's Witness, please call in and. And put some clarity on this, because I'm confused. Baba, are you Jehovah if you're a witness?
Unknown
No. No.
John Clay Wolf
Can I get a witness? If you leave the Witnesses, you're like, you're. No, none of the witnesses can talk to you anymore. If you. It's a posse in that. That's a huge sin. So you can't. Everybody in the Witnesses, like, can't talk to the ex Witnesses. It does. It is a lot like Scientology. Is that what Tom Cruise did? His daughter.
Unknown
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Yep. So what are they witnessing? Getting rid of their kids? Jehovah. What about Jehovah? Who the hell is Jehovah?
J.D. Ryan
Damn.
John Clay Wolf
Jehovah is God. Jehovah is God.
Richard Rollins
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know God's name was Jehovah. They call him Jehovah. They believe in Jesus, but they don't believe in the Trinity, so they don't believe he's God.
Richard Rollins
Here we go again, folks. Dumb religious talk by the John Clay.
Unknown
New sweeper brought to you by Puerto Rican breast milk.
John Clay Wolf
Find it on your favorite ice cream aisle. So Jehovah is God and who's Jesus? Jesus is just his son, but he's not God. What's his name? Marcus? Jesus.
Unknown
Jesus.
John Clay Wolf
Jesus. So why did she kick him out of the house? How do you disown a child that's 18? Because he's not subscribing to Jehovah being Jesus or God. You kick him out.
Unknown
It goes back to self, John, because you failed to respect your child as an adult who's made their own choice, and it goes back to self. This is what I want for them. And if they don't do it, we have somebody. I'm gonna do.
John Clay Wolf
I think he was lucky enough to have some inheritance from his grandfather, and she gave him that and sent him on his way and said, you're on your own. And that's, you know, that's a step above many people, which is fine, but he's just got to be kind of heartbroken to get kicked away from your mother and say, don't ever call me again. You're dead to me.
J.D. Ryan
Okay, there's someone in our chat room with a kind of an explanation. Brandon says when you turn 18, you graduate and you have to go to the big church, then go on to a mission. That's where they do the door to door thing. And if you don't do that, out of here.
John Clay Wolf
800. 800. 7, 2 3, 4. 800800 radio, can I get a witness? Amen.
J.D. Ryan
Amen, brother. Amen.
John Clay Wolf
Have you ever tried to been converted? What's the difference between a Mormon and a jv? Kw?
J.D. Ryan
I mean, but you're asking me. I have no clue.
John Clay Wolf
Is Reverend Charles out there?
J.D. Ryan
I'm a Christian.
John Clay Wolf
Reverend Charles, are you here? Reverend Charles, are you ready? Explain to me the difference between a Mormon and a Jehovah's Witness.
Unknown
Don't forget your seven day. You know, they out there too. You know children, there's many ways you can enrich your life with the love of the Lord.
J.D. Ryan
Lord.
John Clay Wolf
Lord.
Unknown
You know, when that's what you want to do. Now you have different denominations. Denominations, people deniminate different denomination about Jesus and the Lord. You know, many people don't recognize nothing happened before Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You know, they say the Noah story is hogwash. But that's why we got raccoons and beavers, Puerto Ricans and ain't no dragons. Ain't no dinosaurs neither. You know why?
John Clay Wolf
Why?
Unknown
Because they couldn't fit on the ark, stupid. Now you got your Jehovah's Witness, they got their own thing. They were witness of Jehovah. That means they love the Lord and they trust the Lord. They pray the Lord to help them with their thing. And they think Jesus is a good man. Said all right, thanks. They think Jesus was an insider, but he ain't God. They don't believe in no holy Kennedy.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, Reverend Charles. I've got Victor Sandoval in Mission VA Mission Hill, California that says he's a JW J. Yeah. Vic, you there?
Bob Turley
Good morning.
John Clay Wolf
How you guys doing? I am a Jehovah's Witness. Are you like hardcore? Like where you kick your kids out or you. Are you a little softer?
Bob Turley
Well, actually, I left the religion a long time ago because they're pretty crazy.
John Clay Wolf
So. Okay. I mean, I totally.
Bob Turley
You know, everything your son's saying, it's true. So any questions you got, I'll answer them for you.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, how do you disown your child when he's 18 and kick him out of the house and just excommunicate him? What's that all about, man?
Bob Turley
It's. It's this whole crazy. It's this whole crazy religion thing. When you're part of that religion, you're not allowed to talk to other people.
John Clay Wolf
Who are not part of the religion.
Bob Turley
They're considered worldly people. And if you do have friends who are worldly, you get like disfellowship. And you're not allowed to talk to Anyone in the church. It's pretty gnarly, man.
J.D. Ryan
You go door to door talking to people that aren't part of the church. I mean, you do door to door, right?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah.
Bob Turley
But you're not allowed to be friends with worldly people. You're only allowed to congregate. Yeah, you're only on our congregate.
John Clay Wolf
My dad did that to me with the kid across the street I used to ride dirt bikes with. He told me I wouldn't allow to hang out with him because he's too. He's. He's just too rough. And then 10 years later, he was banging on our front door at 10 at night, crying because he just shot his dad with a 38.6. It went in the head of his. Out the bottom of his scrotum because he was roughing his mom around, and he shot him. So maybe my dad was right. Wow.
Unknown
That's a certain kind of family dynamic. Now you talk about Jehovah's Witness. This was obviously like what you call a Kawasaki Witness. Lord, Lord.
John Clay Wolf
And he also told me to quit riding dirt bikes. He made me quit riding motocross when I moved to the intermediate class. Pulled the whole shot on the 125 class. Did the first moto, won it. He said, son, I'm really proud of your grape. He said to load it up. I said, there's another moto, dad. We got to do moto, too. He said, no. He said, no, we're done. He said, you're going too fast now. You're going to get hurt. And sure enough, I wound up in a wheelchair. Ten years later. Huh? Lord, Lord, Lord. Be right back.
Unknown
Now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by giveme the vin.com.
John Clay Wolf
So we got the Jehovah's Witness kit on the air that got kicked out of his house. Jehovah's Witness. Kid, are you still a Jehovah's Witness or, like, who did you pick now?
Bob Turley
Who did I pick now?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, like, what side did you. I mean, there's different teams, you know, the Steelers and the Cowboys and the Browns. And you were. You were part of the Jehovah's Witness team. Who's the team you on now?
Bob Turley
I'm with the Cowboys now, actually.
John Clay Wolf
So we were talking earlier, and your mother. I'm not saying your name, by the way, because I don't want people to hear it.
Bob Turley
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
But your mom, really, she's, like, disowned you for not being you. Graduate high school. You're 18 years old. Yes. And she tells you to leave the house. You're not allowed here. And does she disown you?
Bob Turley
I mean, pretty much. I mean, I can't go back to the house. I mean, I'm chicks out. She's not really helping me with anything, so.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, well, she talked to you.
Bob Turley
Yeah, but it's like, about, like, I don't know, do you want, like, help with, like, I don't know, moving in the college or in the dorm room, for example? But it's nothing like, it's nothing like, I don't know, do you want to hang out or anything? You know, nothing.
John Clay Wolf
So do you miss your mother? Or do you. Or are you just so disgusted by all this that you don't care? I don't really. I don't really care.
Bob Turley
I mean, at this point, I mean, if she's willing to kick me out, I mean. I mean, I don't know, you know.
John Clay Wolf
Well, I thought you were just being lazy. When Maddox wanted us to come, you asked if you could come stay with us. Because I thought that your parents were just kicking you out of the house to make you go to work. And I didn't understand that it was a religious struggle, I think. Okay.
Bob Turley
Yeah, so. So there's a bit. There's a bit of a story there. So I was originally. I was supposed to get a job this summer, and I was looking for one, and my mom was like, if you don't get a job, I'll kick you out of the house. Which I was looking for that. So she did make that threat. That is like, a real thing. But while I was still looking for a job and before, like, my deadline for being kicked out for not getting a job was we had a discussion about, you know, like, what I believe. Because. Okay, it's important to remember to note here, I guess, that for, like, some weeks, some, I think, actually, like, months at this point, she, like, knew that I didn't believe. And, like, they have these. I wasn't going to church, and, you know, I wasn't going to any of their. Any of their things. You know, they go door to door to go.
John Clay Wolf
And hustle the doors. Have you done it with her? Yes.
Bob Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Hello. Hi, Mr. Wolf. My name is Jehovah. I want you. What's your pitch?
Bob Turley
My pitch was. My pitch was, I would say we are giving out a free Bible study and we're going out to all of our neighbors. And would you be interested to learn a bit about the Bible? I think it was something along those lines. I haven't done it in so Long. I barely.
John Clay Wolf
So you finally. So you did enough of this. You're like, dude, I'm out on this. I'm not buying this. I'm. I. I'm. I disagree. And now you're living in a hotel and you're 18 years old, and you're two months out of high school. Yeah. Good. Good for you. I'm sorry that this went. I mean, I just feel sorry for you, dude. Who.
Richard Rollins
Who's paying for the hotel and your college?
Bob Turley
It's currently coming out of my. My own money. My inheritance from my. For my grandparents.
John Clay Wolf
Wow, that's lucky.
Richard Rollins
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
At least she gave you a little walking change. Yeah. Yeah. How long will that last you like, paying for school and stuff?
Bob Turley
I. I don't know. I mean, I think it. I think it could. I think it could last me all college, so. So at least for that.
John Clay Wolf
All right. Will that pay for beer money and partying and travel, too?
Bob Turley
I mean, we'll see.
John Clay Wolf
I hope. Okay, well, thank you. Hey, have you ever heard of Joe Exotic?
Bob Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
The Tiger King. Hey, I'll put you on hold. You can listen to him because he was ousted for being gay. Hold on. Y' all have that in common. Not saying that you're gay, but he was gay and. Hold on. Listen. Joe, are you there? Joe Exotic, the Tiger King from prison. Good morning, everybody.
Bob Turley
I am here.
John Clay Wolf
Are you still gay?
Bob Turley
I'm still gay.
John Clay Wolf
Are you. Do you. Did. Did you tell me your parents kicked you out for being gay? Yep. Yep. So you. You can relate to that kid?
Bob Turley
I can relate to that kid.
John Clay Wolf
What's going on in prison this week?
Bob Turley
Not much.
John Clay Wolf
All right, there's your update from Joe Exotic.
Bob Turley
Fighting to get out of here.
John Clay Wolf
For those of y' all that don't know at me. Tiger King, the Netflix special. He never saw it. You know, he never. He was already in prison by the time that came out. He's never breathed outside air after he's become famous, and that's got to be frustrating.
Bob Turley
It is very frustrating.
John Clay Wolf
Trump's been working pretty hard on a lot of different things. I think he's gonna get to you soon. I hope.
Bob Turley
I hope.
John Clay Wolf
I really do.
Bob Turley
I found the new peel this last week. Yeah, so we're working on that. But I really think. I really think your friend Alex is gonna. Gonna get. Be the one to get me out of here.
John Clay Wolf
Alex Steiner.
Bob Turley
Yep.
John Clay Wolf
Yep, he is.
Bob Turley
He has beaten the pavement pretty hard.
John Clay Wolf
I should have had him call in right now. Okay, well, we are up in Sturgis, which did. Before you went to prison, did you ever go to Sturgis with your tigers?
Bob Turley
I, I never made it, but I sure wanted to go up there we.
John Clay Wolf
Are up here on the edge of the street. You'll hear the bikes riding by. It's pretty. It's pretty cool. I mean it's worth the trip. My friend Richard Rollins has a bar up here, right here on the, on the square. It's called gas monkey Sturges. It's pretty fun.
Bob Turley
Is it as much old time hippies.
John Clay Wolf
As everybody says it is? No, no. New order hippies. Hip. I think there's. I think you've got real bikers. Is probably 20% like what we imagine being real bikers. Right. And then the rest of them are weekend bikers that wear suits and, and then put on their leathers and come up here for the weekends.
Bob Turley
We used to, we used to put on motorcycle rallies at the zoo, like three day rallies. And they were old time bikes bikers.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. I think most of those guys have died off and now the, the next generation is just playing biker video games. Yeah. Joe. Exotic. Thank you for calling in, bud. All right, guys, be Good. See, bye. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Jack, in California, your niece got kicked out. Same thing.

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
Richard in Texas. Texas, good morning. You're on the air. What do you got?
Bob Turley
I got a 22. I got a 2019 Kia Sportage with a hundred thousand miles on it. It's an LX portage lx. It's clean. I've already taken it to two different Ford dealerships. I'm trying to think I'm trying to buy a Bronco. One's giving me eight grand. One of them's giving me 8,500.
John Clay Wolf
You said they're at 8,500, but you sell at 8,500.
Bob Turley
Well, unless you want to give me 9,000. You want to give me 9,000?
John Clay Wolf
It's a Kia, dude. I mean, I don't want to. I mean, you know, I don't want to be caught dead in the thing. I don't. Anybody see me, and it's like riding it.
Bob Turley
Oh, okay.
John Clay Wolf
Driving a key is like riding a bicycle. It's fun when you're on it, but it sucks when your friends see you.
Bob Turley
All right, I tell you what. I'll make a deal for you. I'll give. I'll let you buy to me for $8,000, but you got to do one thing. But you gotta buy my book.
John Clay Wolf
What book?
Bob Turley
Half the man, twice the faith.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, are you a Jehovah's Witness?
Bob Turley
No, no. I just know I lost £300 and I have a book halfway. Twice the faith.
John Clay Wolf
I thought you said the faith. The faith, not. Oh, so the weight. So is the seat all beat down in the Kia from when you were fat? No, don't say that. This happens. This happens.
Bob Turley
We.
John Clay Wolf
You know, people are judging, man. When I go to sell these cars, like, God, look at the seat, all beat down. He was sweating in the steering wheel. Like the colors off the leather. Because he's sweating, he's fat.
Bob Turley
Oh, no, I lost.
John Clay Wolf
I lost.
Bob Turley
But that did happen in the Caprice.
John Clay Wolf
I know it happened because it's true.
Bob Turley
I was driving a Caprice.
John Clay Wolf
Right? You fat son of a. I'm glad you lost all that weight. I will give you 8,000. I will buy you your book. But if you're. But you guys, you're hard on cars. You big, big, big ladies and boys. I mean, like when. When I'm buying from an Asian, I'll give them a little more money because you know, that passenger Cockpit's going to be in good. I mean, the driver Cockpit's going to be good. They're light on the brakes. They're light on the accelerator. They hold the steering wheel lightly, and they're very light people. So the seats look fresh. They're not all cracked up.
Unknown
He's not a hater.
John Clay Wolf
He's a Texan. He's the accidental racer. All right, Done deal. Eight grand in a book, Richard. Plug the book one more time.
Bob Turley
Half the man, twice the faith, Twice the man, twice faith. You know, like in God. You know, Half the man, twice. Yeah, half the man, twice the faith. Because I lost half my body weight. But as I lost the weight, I got closer to God. So half.
John Clay Wolf
I think you should have named it Less Fat More Jesus. I think, you know, it's like a headline. Their attention span's very short. You probably need to throw something in there about boobs, too. I just wanted to help you sell more books. Less Fat.
Bob Turley
But I was on Fatty Gone Religion, you know? But I was on Oprah in the early 2000s, but that's still.
John Clay Wolf
That doesn't help. She. She's lost some damn weight. I sat next to her big ass on an airplane one time, and she took up two seats. You think I'm lying in the stomach?
Bob Turley
No. No, I don't believe.
John Clay Wolf
I believe she had a big old.
Bob Turley
Shot in the stomach.
John Clay Wolf
I was sitting. There was a. It was three. It was three seats on this airplane. I was going to visit my mother, and I was sitting next to Oprah Winfrey, 1987, okay? And she was. They had the center pull up, and she was. She's pretty big gal. And she was taking up two seats, and her tall, skinny brother Stedman was sitting across the aisle. So it was me and then Oprah with two seats and then Stedman on the other aisle. All right, be right back. My name is John Clay Wolf. I buy Kias from skinny people on the radio. For givemethe vin.com go to givemetheven.com and we're here live in Sturgis at Gas Monkey. Broadcast alive this morning. We'll be right back.

America's largest weekend morning show. 800, 800 radio. Check out the podcast@jcwshow.com and now, Senor.
John Clay Wolf
Juan Clay Wolf, and we are here live Saturday morning, August 9th. Gas monkey sturgis. It's cool. Beautiful day outside. Dr. Rollins just sat down. He's having his morning brew. Woke up. How are you, sir?
Deb Holland
I'm feeling good. I'm glad that the week's coming to an end. It's been a long one.
John Clay Wolf
You've been here for 10 days.
Unknown
I have, yeah.
Deb Holland
It's. It's been. It's been a little bit of a beating, but it.
John Clay Wolf
You know, it was busy last night. I mean, yesterday afternoon, it was. It was. That was cool with all the bikes up here in the contest and everything. We've had a real good year.
Deb Holland
It's been crowded. We added the outside bar, and that's brought in a lot more people. And of course, we flew up five dazzling women from Dallas, and they are very good at extracting the men's money from their wallets.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Yes. Well, man, I've been feeling weird since I got here yesterday, since I saw you and I. You know, maybe we shouldn't do this on the air, but I think you and I need to talk. Okay. I mean, we're pretty good friends. Absolutely. Right? And I texted you yesterday. When I got here, you were doing something else. I said, hey. And the first thing I said is, I don't want the chopper, but I need a bike to go ride. I'm going to take my chick on my wife, and I want to go experience this. And he said, yeah, we got one. Take the rr, but it doesn't have an extra seat. And I was looking around. The reason I didn't want the chopper is because I didn't want to ride ape hangers because I've never done it. It. That was it.
Deb Holland
You decided to try it on my bike?
John Clay Wolf
Well, I. I just didn't see.
Bob Turley
Here.
John Clay Wolf
See, there is a problem. And so I was like, how do we do this? I got to take her with me. I'm like, I'll just take that one. Because I saw that thing sitting in the shop over the past three months. I thought it was a bike you just bought.
Deb Holland
No, no, I've actually had that bike for 28 plus years.
John Clay Wolf
So, like, when you saw that I took your bike on a two hour ride. I could really tell that this was like a big, like really bothered you.
Deb Holland
Well, no, no, see, you're, you're a big car dealer and, and you've bought, sold a bunch of bikes. So I was thinking the biggest problem that could come out of this, other than he took my child basically and got on it, is is that you and I aren't going to see eye to eye on the value if you crashed it.
John Clay Wolf
Because to me, that bike is, is, is priceless. Right.
Deb Holland
And you're gonna go, eh, it's worth eight grand.
John Clay Wolf
And I thought you just bought it. And I just figured I didn't know what. Yeah, I was like. Well, I was thinking, because I pulled up to a few places when we were out riding and people would walk up to say, dude, that bike is awesome. Oh my God, look at that bike. And they were. And I was like, wow, what's so special about it? I didn't realize it was that good. Why is it so good?
Deb Holland
Well, it's, it's, it's, it's built in the 70s, chopper style, but it's, it's an Evo, but it's a 97 model. I unboxed that myself in 1996.
John Clay Wolf
Is it a soft tail? It is. So you bought a stock soft tail?
Deb Holland
Absolutely.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, and then you built this bike?
Deb Holland
Yep, back in 1996.
John Clay Wolf
So it's not some car that you some rigy bought off gas monkey buys for six grand? No, no, see, that's what I thought. That's why I didn't think. I want you to understand, I wasn't trying to molest your child.
Deb Holland
Well, the story is, is I got a little dumb rich when I was in my. In the early night, middle 90s. And of course I bought myself a brand new softail. And within about three or four months, I was not so rich anymore and had to sell it. Literally within like four or five.
John Clay Wolf
You had to sell that bike? Nope. Okay.
Deb Holland
And I was one before it. And so I got some money, did some stupid things, bought a Harley, paid cash for it, ended up having to sell it within a few months because I was broke again. And I gave myself, I told myself, I'm gonna give myself three years, scramble and work hard, and I'm gonna buy myself another bike for cash. And I was able to buy that one in cash eight months later. And, and I told myself, and you'll never sell it.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so now it's making for sure.
Deb Holland
I've been t boned on it. I'VE fallen down a couple of times. You know, It's. It's got 137000 miles on it that I put on myself.
John Clay Wolf
Really? And. And I looked at the odo and I was like, this is a mild out thing. It's all clapped out. It doesn't matter. See, I'm glad I know this now. Now I get it. But.
Deb Holland
Yeah, so that's. That's always been my baby. I always say, you know, if I'm. If I'm broken, destitute and living homeless under a bridge and I'll have a nice bike with me.
John Clay Wolf
Did you ever watch Pulp Fiction? Do you remember the watch story where he said his granddad was in the war and he stuck his watch up his butt so that they didn't steal it from him? Yep.
Deb Holland
Okay, well, I can't get that up my butt.
John Clay Wolf
I promise. I know, but my dad. My mom bought. Wait, no. Somebody bought. My ex wife. Yeah, she bought me a gold Rolex when I was like 30 or something. And when I got divorced and I got broke and I needed to sell it. So just what you were explaining a minute ago and I was like I'm over my dead body am I ever going to sell this watch? So that's your watch. Exactly. Okay, I'm. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I took your bike for a ride. I did not know. I thought it was just a rig. You're in a very rare group.
Deb Holland
I think my ex wife tried to ride it once and Aaron could never reach the pedals and the. And the handlebars at the same time. And neither could my dad. I think Dennis might have ridden it one time, but very few people.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, speaking of stuff, Brian in Houston, are you there?
Bob Turley
Yes, I'm here.
John Clay Wolf
Do you know why you're on the air with me right now?
Bob Turley
I been. I understand. Yes, sir.
John Clay Wolf
They already told you. Why do they tell. Why do they blow it? I mean this stuff. Dumb. So Brian sold us. How much was the truck that you sold us?
Bob Turley
Well, so first of all, I'm very ecstatic and happy and surprised. All the above. And so it was actually a 2000.
John Clay Wolf
Let me pause you. Let me pause you. Everybody that works for me, please whip out your big Chief tablet and write this down. When I'm taking a winner to the air, don't tell them they're the winner before they get on the air.
Bob Turley
The winner winner is the dinner.
John Clay Wolf
Yes. Right. So you sold us a 500 truck and you just won 25,000?
Bob Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
GMTV sweepstakes giveaway. There we go.
Bob Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, I've got a.
Bob Turley
It's a.
John Clay Wolf
What?
Bob Turley
Yeah, you gotta have a surprise party. So. But I'm excited about it. But, yeah, I had a 2006 F150. It had a clean body, and we were looking to get rid of it.
John Clay Wolf
And.
Bob Turley
I thought, man, I heard this commercial about givemetheven.com and let's, you know, let's test it out and see what. What it was. And it was extremely easy, very proficient. And I was able to sell the car and got what I wanted. I got a surprise call at school one day. I'm a teacher at a school, and they said, I just want to let you know that, you know, we have this giveaway. I'm not sure if you're familiar with it, but it's not a scam. And so I think that was one of the reasons why they let me, let me onto it. Said that, hey, look, this is a legitimate thing, and you are indeed a winner of this prize.
John Clay Wolf
Well, congratulations. 500 Truck. I'm not advertising to the public for more 500 cars. I'd rather have good cars on junk. We never make any money is the truth. And I don't mean in junk to call your car junk. But, you know, you buy the car for 500, you got to move it for 200, you got to pay the guy 100. $150 to talk to you. We got to sell it, we got to pay an auction fee, we got to clean it. I mean, if we sell it for a thousand, we still lose, right?
Bob Turley
Yeah, I know. 100, and then I got to give.
John Clay Wolf
You 25 grand more. Jesus Christ, Johnny.
Richard Rollins
You also have to give the buyer, Chris Pearson 500 too.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I got to get the buyer. So it's like the lotto system. The buyer give me the VIN that handles the customer, that's the winner, gets another 500. So, like, the store that sells the lottery ticket gets a bump.
Bob Turley
Yes, sir. It's exciting.
John Clay Wolf
Christmas is at your house this year, bud.
J.D. Ryan
Brian's a teacher.
John Clay Wolf
That's cool. Where are you a teacher?
Bob Turley
I teach the spring ISD at Westfield High School.
John Clay Wolf
Well, congratulations and thank you for doing business with us and let everybody know that this is real. Because the. The sweepstakes get weighted has not been really working. People really just don't understand that we're actually doing this and we've given away $25,000. This is the six month going.
Bob Turley
Month. Yeah, six months going. That's crazy. And it is a good offer. I Mean, just because if you think about it, let's just say you have a car and you're wanting to sell the car, but you don't want to do a private sell. This is an excellent opportunity to protect yourself. Because in a. In a private cell, one of the things that kind of surprises me, that you're responsible to make sure that the person changes over the information to the new owner. And I wasn't aware of that. That was something that when I, you know, bought a car, I know a.
John Clay Wolf
Guy that got picked up by the police for that because there was a robbery committed in the car that he sold to somebody else, and they didn't flip the registration over and they arrested him. It took him three days to get out. Yep. So fear and hope. Hope you win the 25 grand and don't go to jail. So, yes. Sell your card@givemethevin.com. thank you, Brian. Thank you, sir. We'll be in touch soon. Good job. What's the time, Mike?
Richard Rollins
We gotta go.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, we gotta go. We gotta go. We gotta go. We'll be right back. We got Richard Rollinson here. We're at Gas Monkey Ice House, Sturgis, South Dakota. We're in the middle of the Sturgis Gorgeous Motorcycle rally. And it is beautiful up here. I know you can't hop in your car and run over here, but if you are in the area, come over and say hi to us. And I would guarantee you need to put this on your schedule for next year, because it's damn sure worth it. Be right back. Oh, yeah, we're back.

Unknown
And she gave me three black T shirts and said, get out there and get as many stories as you can.
John Clay Wolf
So are you a writer? I'm a writer. Oh, good.
Unknown
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, I don't mean a writer. I mean a writer.
Unknown
No, I'm not a writer.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Unknown
Sorry. Yep. Nope.
John Clay Wolf
How many people are here this week during rally?
Unknown
So the numbers yesterday from the Department of Transportation, they do the little strip over the road.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Unknown
All those people who come into town. We've got nine locations where they come in. The last count we had was 425,000. And that was. Yeah. And so we still got three days to go.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Unknown
So we're. We're looking at 550, 600,000.
John Clay Wolf
Just. Is that what you scheduled for? Is that what you budgeted for?
Unknown
Yeah, I mean, the 75th, the estimates were 750,000. And we know, you know, zero and five years are always good years.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Unknown
But we were kind of couching our expectations because we had heard that both Laconia and Daytona were kind of down this year.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Unknown
But. So we're ecstatic now.
John Clay Wolf
Where's Laconia?
Unknown
New Hampshire.
New Hampshire?
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Big rally. Rally, Yeah. I was unfamiliar with it, sure.
Unknown
Oh, you're kidding.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I've never heard of it. We were actually started a rally in Texas called the Texas Rattlesnake Rally in Walnut Springs, about an hour out of Dallas. And it has these kind of hills. Not as good, but, yeah, it's decent. And our first event was last May. Rain got us, but it was only, you know, it was a three day, but the big day was Saturday and the threat of rain and thunderstorms and it hit. And boy, that'll screw a rally up quick.
Unknown
Yeah, we had a big rain Friday night here.
John Clay Wolf
Yep.
Unknown
And took out our Tower cam, which we love our Tower cam because it shows everybody. And. Yeah, it was. We got about an inch and a quarter that night. So that's a good rain for us in August.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Unknown
And there have been years, I hate to say it, we've gotten hail.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Unknown
Big hail.
John Clay Wolf
Ours was kind of haily. It was bad.
Unknown
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So. So it ruined that. Our big day. What are the largest draws here? As a planner, you guys are planners. Is it the concerts? Is it, Is it what? What is it? I would assume that's probably the biggest hook, sir.
Unknown
Both the city and the county take on additional law enforcement.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Unknown
And one of the issues, they were just saying, I think it was the Nickelback concert the other night.
John Clay Wolf
Yep.
Unknown
It was a parking lot out on Highway 34 east to the Chip. And so, you know, that's. People. People understand that you got to come early, and it's going to be gridlock to get to the concerts. Well, we live just. My husband and I live just six blocks from here, two blocks off Junction. You know, if you're. If you're not attuned to the traffic pattern, we get a lot of people coming down our street because it's a cut across.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Unknown
And so they can get out to Liselle quicker and. And out that way. But, yeah, we just, you know, we have law enforcement that come in. They.
John Clay Wolf
The Nickelback was the largest draw. Who's.
Unknown
Who's the other ones? Jason Aldean.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, he was big.
Unknown
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And where did he play?
Unknown
You remember, at the chip.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Yeah. Is the chip have the. The. We're. We're sitting here in Sturgis, South Dakota, live right next to the main strip, a gas monkey Sturgis. And I'm sitting with the city, the voice of the city, that is the representative for the rally, and she's given us some backgrounding stuff on the rally. They had half a million people come through here this. This past 10 days or 5 days or whatever it is. You got 3 days. Days left.
Unknown
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
One question. There's some bikes, like the broken spoke right here. Okay. Does it clo. When does it close? When do they. When does everybody close down for the rest of the year?
Unknown
Yeah. So most of them are closed by end of September.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, so they do stay open through the. Until the winter.
Unknown
Yeah, some of them.
No, winter doesn't really start around here till December.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. So September's about the end of it. And they. Then when do they reopen?
Unknown
About July. June. July, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So these huge places that I'm seeing.
Unknown
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
With all this infrastructure.
Unknown
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
They make enough money in three months to cover their whole year.
Unknown
They make enough during the rally.
John Clay Wolf
Right. Period. And that's just during the 10 days.
Unknown
That's during the 10 days.
So what happens is our local businesses. And that's one of the sad things about Sturgis. We don't have a very good retail reputation because our business owners have to move out for two months out of the year. So it's difficult to get a business to come in here if they have to move all their inventory for the two months of the rally to rent to an out of state.
John Clay Wolf
But they don't have to rent to an out of state. They choose to rent to an out of state?
Unknown
Well, no. Many times those out of state folks own the biz, own the buildings.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, that's part of the lease.
Unknown
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, yes.
Unknown
You see, that is a really hot topic for me.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Unknown
And that is because our property taxes are determined by the state of South Dakota. They set all the rules. So in the 90s, it cost more per square foot to pay taxes on property on Sturgis Main street than any other city in the state of South Dakota. The businesses we had were mom and pops. They could not cash flow and still pay their property taxes. Then you have the Ottoman estate vendors who came in who could make a boatload of money selling T shirts, and they ended up buying out the local guys.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Unknown
And so then they rent their properties for a huge buck.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Unknown
During the rally, and mom and pops left. And I blame the way property taxes were assessed as. As being the main reason at the time. A lot of the business owners and even. Even the tax assessor, we went to pier trying to get some relief so that the taxes could be lower and got nowhere.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, so go back to, like 82 or 85 when the first time you came out here, this is. This. This is the 85th year of it this year. But like, in the 80s, how many people were coming through here? Was it the same size as it is now?
Unknown
Well, I was just looking on our. Our map here.
Here's one.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Unknown
That'll give you an idea.
John Clay Wolf
Those were always 45th annual. August 5th, 1985. Okay. It looks similar to now, but I mean, was it as spread out as it is now?
Unknown
No, there wasn't as much vacant pavement.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Unknown
So in 78, they're saying, or 77, we had 20,000.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Unknown
And that time they were allowed to camp in the city park.
John Clay Wolf
Yep.
Unknown
Well, then they got a little raunchy. I mean, they start screwing and getting naked. Debauchery.
Yeah, things.
You don't want to know what they did with the beer bottle.
John Clay Wolf
You look pretty wild and crazy. You were one of them, weren't you, before you converted to the other side.
Unknown
You know it. And they would have bonfires where they would burn satanic rituals. Jap bikes.
John Clay Wolf
Jap bikes. They burn Jap bikes. That's hilarious.
Unknown
And so they just got too wild and crazy for the locals. And so someone brought a petition to the city, let's get rid of this rally. You know, and. And Doreen, you can talk to the boat.
John Clay Wolf
They.
Unknown
Well, what finally ultimately did it was when they set the road on Fire, Highway 34. And I was down There. And they had Ellsworth on standby.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, the.
Unknown
If necessary.
The Air Force.
The Air Force. And they had attacked our Sturgis Fire Department people who went in to try to put the fire out of the bikes that they had hanging from the trees. And then were these Japanese bikes.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bob Turley
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
The racism against motorcycles.
Unknown
Yeah, there. There was at that time.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. So they voted to keep it or get rid of it. And the vote was obviously to keep it.
Unknown
The boat was about 1400 to 800, so they were getting going to keep it.
Bob Turley
Right.
Unknown
But they told the city council some things need to change. No more camping in the park. And that's when Woody had the, you know, idea. Wasn't that 82 to build a camp? Tell us.
Okay. It was a couple of ladies out there who had it then.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Unknown
And then Gary Lipo came up from Texas, from Georgetown.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Unknown
And he built Glynco. And then for a long time, Glencoe was the biggest.
John Clay Wolf
We're talking about the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. We're live here, street side, talking to some ladies that have lived their whole lives here. Tell us a little background. We've only got two minutes left. Okay. Okay. So, Gary, Gary, so. So how did.
Unknown
How did Woody come to have it out there?
I'm not going into that.
Okay.
But I will say that the main thing that has always brought the rally people here has not necessarily been the concerts or the other things. Initially, they like to see the customization of the bikes because no place else in the world would you see that. And then the camaraderie and the friendship. And everybody here, no matter if you're a gang, if you're a loner or whatever, you are accepted.
John Clay Wolf
It doesn't feel very motorcycle gangy up here.
Unknown
No.
John Clay Wolf
Did it used to be more.
Unknown
Well, that's what I found with when Doreen sent me out. You know, I'm a lawyer, I'm a dentist, whatever.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Unknown
But it was. It was. I don't want to say Halloween ish.
John Clay Wolf
But that's what I said. Yeah. I told the guy yesterday, I said, you wear a suit to work, don't you?
Unknown
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
He said, how did you know? I said, I can tell. He was all decked out, like if is ready to roll.
Unknown
One thing I will say is that we have certainly diversified when it comes to OEMs and. And different motorcycles here. It's been. You know, when I saw the Harleys, they used to leave a lot of oil on Main Street.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Unknown
And, you know, Harley Davidson has built a better bike. And we've got Harleys, we've got Indians, we've got Triumphs.
John Clay Wolf
So back in the day real quick would like the people on the jet bikes get assault it?
Unknown
No, no.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, but they just burn their. They just take their property and burn it. Hey, that was just okay back when it was fun. Yeah. All right. No, it's a great time. I'm glad we're up here live across the country, coast to coast. Good morning America. My name is John Clay Wolf. We're doing an hour transition. So if I'm losing you on the east coast, go to jcwshow.com and you can stream us live here from the Sturgis motorcycle rally at gas Monkey. If you guys are listening, the breakfast is on over here at Gas Monkey, Sturgis. Smells great. I'm going to grab some during this next break. And we will be right back.

John Clay Wolf
Why does Grandpa even think it's worth 30? What planet did Grandpa come from? Because most grandpas think that used cars are worth two grand.
Bob Turley
Well, I think for one, he's looked at a lot of the Honda places down here that are. Are selling them.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but they've got. They've got 15, 000 miles. Yeah, tell Grandpa to go shop and work on it. And then y' all call me back and go to give me the VIN in about a month when. When he's tired of.

Do they do rapture?
John Clay Wolf
The Jehovah blondie rapture.
J.D. Ryan

Unknown
Well, thank you, J.D.
John Clay Wolf
What have you on the news, sir?
J.D. Ryan
It's a joke, Bob.
John Clay Wolf
Hey.
J.D. Ryan
Okay, I'm sure you're seeing some tattoos out there in Sturgis, right? Some people have tattoos. Maybe they get a little drunk, they get a little tattoo that they regret. Maybe you see some of those out there. Well, Pete Davidson did. On his latest Hot Ones episode, he explained why he decided to cover up a tattoo that Pete Davidson has had on for more than a decade. And wouldn't he covered it with cut number three. I've never admitted this because it's so humiliating, but when I was like 20 at a comedy club and Chappelle was in the corner, I got off stage.
Unknown
And he was like, I watched your whole set. It was really good. And he goes, jokes come and go.
John Clay Wolf
But swag is forever.
Deb Holland
And guess who got that tattooed on his chest? And I covered it with Jaws because I. I needed something huge to black it out.
John Clay Wolf
I just put a giant shark over it. Do we have backtracks? We do. Let's do backtracks. What are. Who's backtracks this week?
Unknown
Backtracks this week is the Grateful Dead, the anniversary of the Death.
John Clay Wolf
Well, that's the right setting for this of Jerry Garcia. Nice selection, sir. Cut one.
Richard Rollins
I was not ready for that. Just to go just to it just like that.
John Clay Wolf
So we didn't go just to it like that. I said, said, do you want to go to backtrack? She said, yes. And then I said, hey, set it up, Bobbo. So at that time, you could be scrambling. I was trying to buy you some time.
Unknown
Hey, don't be barking at Turley, man.
John Clay Wolf
Come on. Come on. That's the easiest. I need to start barking at you now. That's the easiest thing I've ever heard in my life. Okay, Is that played forward?
Richard Rollins
That's backwards.
Unknown
I don't think so. Maybe. Maybe the. Maybe number two will make up for it.
John Clay Wolf
All right. Penny Lane by the Beatles.
Unknown
Sounds kind of like a backwards, doesn't it?
John Clay Wolf
Okay, 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. This is Backtracks. You win free merch@jcwshow.com if you win. The first two people that. The first person that calls in with the right song selection on both of these. Cut. Cut to both.

You got to get them both. You call in 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. And guess, and the winner gets the stuff. That simple.
Unknown
You know how we have lead singers that stay with their band for a while, and some have been with them forever, and some leave, some get replaced.
John Clay Wolf
Like the little. The. The Oriental from Journey.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's a good example. Jerry Garcia was the front man for the grateful dead for 30 years. His career just with that band produced 22 recorded albums and more than 2300 live stage performances.
John Clay Wolf
That's.
Unknown
That's a lot of work. That's a. That's a lot.
John Clay Wolf
Dead and company is still doing it.
Unknown
A lot of people are pissed off about that because they did the farewell thing some time ago, and now they're doing it again. But it's such a good show. John Mayer's in the band now.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, that's right.
Unknown
So he's still got Bob Weir. You still got. You know, a lot of those guys die. Grateful Dead has learned to.

John Clay Wolf
Music. The Chinese people listen to the Grateful Dead.
Unknown
Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. What Chinese people invented the Grateful Dead?
J.D. Ryan
Don't ask, Mike.
Unknown
It's true.
John Clay Wolf
Is it AI. Is it a. You know, we say, hey, let's go get some Chinese food. Do Chinese people ever say, hey, let's go get some soul food?
Unknown
Okay, so back in the, say, 60s, you're what they would call greasers like fonzie would say, hey, hey, right? And when you know Chinese, answer in the affirmative rather than say yes, they say I. So what, what would that conversation be? Like a.
John Clay Wolf
That was a stretch dog.
Unknown
I'm just trying to think of other ways to use AI because I don't get it.
J.D. Ryan
I don't appreciate car segments coming up.
Unknown
I found nothing worthwhile.
John Clay Wolf

John Clay Wolf
Okay, good. Four wheel drive or two.
Bob Turley
It is a two wheel drive, long bed, no rust on it. It was out in the desert and so it's got. The pain is faded. It's got a little patina on it, but no rust, nothing. No damage. Not big damage, a couple dents on it.

Bob Turley
Well, I'm trying to get six for it. I need six. And it's got five brand new tires, including the spare new, the radiator, all the fluids replaced, all the wiring.
John Clay Wolf
Have you loaded it up into givemethevin.com and let us see pictures?
Bob Turley
Yes, I did. And for lack of a better term.
Deb Holland

Bob Turley
But yes, it is. It is already on there. I was dealing with a gentleman named Chris.
John Clay Wolf
He said, you're not gonna go with them.
Bob Turley
Yeah, no, no, no, no. I said I, I, I, I loaded.
Deb Holland
It on there and he offered me.
Bob Turley
500 bucks for it.
John Clay Wolf
He's got.
Bob Turley
The pictures are already there. Everything is there. It's drivable.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, so that, that, that's just a knee jerk. They don't know classic cars. I know, Okay?
Bob Turley
I know that. That's why I'm calling you.
John Clay Wolf
No, I hear you. Okay. Yeah. Chris, if you're listening, send this One to me. Let me look at it. Let me look at the pictures. Yeah, because there's a, there's a real fine line between junk and Something has value. When you get into this stuff, I mean, in a long bed, two wheel drive is not hot property. You know that.
Bob Turley
I, I understand. If it was four wheel drive, we wouldn't be talking.
John Clay Wolf
Well, we would be talking. I'd be offering a lot more money. I'd be wanting to buy it versus, like just like. Okay, I guess I'll take it maybe. All right, man. Thank you.
Bob Turley
And then.
John Clay Wolf
All right. Frank and paran, you've got a 15s. SS. Like a SS what?
Bob Turley
The Dan they only made.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, oh. Is it, is it that car that they did with the year? The Australian company?
Bob Turley
Yes, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Yes. Okay. Yeah, I forgot the name of the Australian company that did that, but the jeep. Yeah. You know how many miles around this one?
Bob Turley
12,800.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. What color?
Bob Turley
Phantom black.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, no. Oh no. You did it. You ruined it. Do you know how you ruined it? You said phantom black instead of just black. If you just said black. I know it's bible, but when you say phantom black, I know that you're too proud of it. We'll never get it bought.
Bob Turley
It's black. I mean, that's what's on the sticker.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, I hear you.
Bob Turley
I show the car. I mean, it's immaculate, in excellent condition. All it needs is. I spoke to you almost two years ago about it, but I had a heart attack way back then, two of them. So I couldn't sell it.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Bob Turley
But we had talked about it in the headlight. The only thing that needs to replace the headliner.
John Clay Wolf
That's it.
Bob Turley
It's starting to fall in the back.
John Clay Wolf
Does 45 grand buy it? How much? 45 grand.
Bob Turley
I'd like to get 47 if it's okay with you.
John Clay Wolf
I'd like. Can I give you 47 and you give me $2,000 for Christmas? I mean, it's just money, right? We don't want money to get between friends. I mean, I'll give you 50 grand if you give me five grand back.
Bob Turley
Oh, no, I'll. Can you meet me halfway?
John Clay Wolf
No, I, I, I think. What if I go 45 5. 45 5. 45 5.
Bob Turley
How about 46 and we got a deal? How about it's immaculate. I got.
John Clay Wolf
How about you fix the headliner? How about you fix the headliner and we'll go 46?
Bob Turley
I don't want to mess with it because I got to pull the seats out. To get the headliner fixed.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so you. So I got to do all that. And you know what? That costs money. I've got. I've got to spend money to do all that. So sell it to me for 45. Five. Let me spend the 500 on the headliner. And I'm in it for 46. And you got, you actually got what you wanted, but I had to do the repair for you. Does that make sense?
Bob Turley
Okay, so how do we do this then?
John Clay Wolf
Go to givemetheven.com.
Bob Turley

John Clay Wolf
Okay, so I don't know that car. I have no idea what that is. Supposedly it's a Ford replica built by Ford on a Pinto chassis.
Bob Turley
Factory Ford car.
John Clay Wolf
So it's ten grand. What's that? Ten grand. But, I mean, replicas are not very. They don't bring much money. No, I'm.
Bob Turley
Whatever.
John Clay Wolf
Is that. Is that right? Does that sound right? Have you. It sounds like it's in the ballpark. Yeah. I really. I'm just guessing. It looks like a great resto. I mean, it looks like it's good shape. I need to see the interior. One time I bought a car like that, and then like this, the shifter was that of a PT Cruiser. And it was sitting on a PT Cruiser chassis.
Bob Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And so, like in PT Cruiser buttons, I just ruined it. So I bought it like that, and then I got inside of it and I threw up it. PT Cruiser suck. It's a column shift. Yep. The parking brakes on the floor. The interior pretty much looks like the outside. You can see the.
Unknown
Come on.
John Clay Wolf
It's just a little bit faded. I actually have a soft top for it. And then the rumble seat is all there. I need to do a little work to understand. I. I mean, 10 grand is what I'm thinking. So load it into givemetheven.com, send that picture in, and take a couple pictures of the interior. Okay. What motor's in it?
Deb Holland
Ford 2.3.
John Clay Wolf
Huh. It's a four cylinder. Yeah. Oh, which four? Well, like 2.3. It's like in a pino. Oh. From way back. Yeah. Oh, you said that the first time. I'm sorry. Okay. That's all right. I didn't get you joke earlier, so that makes us even. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. What's your name? TJ. TJ. John Wolf. Good to see you, John. Enjoy your trip. I appreciate you.

Bob Turley
Easy horse now.
John Clay Wolf
Now John Clay Wolf live, Sturgis, South Dakota. Gas Monkey Sturges sitting here with Richard Rollins. Been here all morning. This is a blast. It's big turnout. This is the 85th anniversary of this event. Rich, how long you been coming up here?
Deb Holland
Was the first time probably 98 maybe.
John Clay Wolf
What, did you ride up or drive?
Deb Holland
No, I rode up on that bike.
John Clay Wolf
That I borrowed yesterday.
Deb Holland
No, it was the one before that. So it might have been 96 ish.
John Clay Wolf
This is always going to be a thing. It is. I mean it's like, you know, you and I've been going along for a long time, we've never had a problem. But now we got that thing. This is that thing. I don't know. I don't know how we're going to get over that. I borrowed you.
Deb Holland
I just got to find something you have that I want to ride.
John Clay Wolf
I'm open. I'm open. So was it busier now or then in the 90s at the rally, or is it the same vibe?
Deb Holland
I think it's the same vibe. It was a little bit more compact back then. To me there wasn't as many of these campsites way out in the woods and the people weren't as diverse. It was really like this holy cow. Crammed in together and now it's a little bit more spread out.
John Clay Wolf
Is this doing what you wanted it to do? I mean, I mean you've got, you've got the corner cut of real estate right in the heart of town.
Deb Holland
Yeah, it's the very first stop in Sturgis. When you come off of the freeway, you're on junction.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Deb Holland
And the first stop sign is us.
John Clay Wolf
Like the real right. Right here where all the bikes are lined up. I mean the spot couldn't be any better. You got a big bar outside you built this year.
Deb Holland
Yeah, we put a big 40, 50 person bar out there.
John Clay Wolf
That had to make a difference and.
Deb Holland
It did because we were having a little bit of problem getting everything done in inside the building here. But that's why I bought the place because it's very, it's very manageable. You know, we can have the main building open if it's winter and what have you. We can open the patios if we want. We can then add the parking lot. We can add the other building which is our merch store now. So it's Very com. Compartmentalized. We can move with the amount of people that are in the town and. And also the weather.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of merch, what is the 85th anniversary shirt at Gas Monkey Sturgeon? Is that the one selling the best?
Deb Holland
That's right.
John Clay Wolf
I would think. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown
We've got.
Deb Holland
We've got all our merch here. We also just did a collab with Dixon that we'll be releasing. We're selling it here in person, but we're going to release it On, I think, September 5th.
John Clay Wolf
What is that now?
Deb Holland
That's a flannel shirt with Dixon Flannel Company. And it's collab. Gas Monkey times, Dixon. And we have sold a ton of them up here.
John Clay Wolf
Are you tired?
Deb Holland
I've worn something. Smooth out, man.
John Clay Wolf
Just. Just to. I mean, you've been here. Is this your tenth night?
Deb Holland
Well, technically, I went home for a few days, but I've been up here for about 20. But I went home for five. It's. It's been a mess, but, you know, it bulges out to a million people, and then it goes back down to 7,000 people in. In the span of six weeks.
John Clay Wolf
I was at a place yesterday when I was riding your bike, I stopped at this place called the Stump. Out by the airport is a bar, and the beers were $2. Yeah. And I'm like, why are the beers $2? She said, well, this is our last day. We're closing. I'm like, what are you talking about? I can't believe they would close in the middle of this when all these people are still here.
Deb Holland
Now this town folds up pretty quick. Now, Sturgis proper, you know, the.
John Clay Wolf
The.
Deb Holland
The campgrounds and everything, they're pretty much done by Monday. But Sturgis proper stays busy from about May to October, people come through, they want to see the motorcycle museum. They want to say they went to Sturgis, they want to go to Mount Rushmore, they want to go to the Devil's Tower, you know, all those kind of things. So this year we're going to stay open until around October. But we tried to stay open year round last year, and. And there's just not enough people to.
John Clay Wolf
I was sitting there with you. I was like, what's the daily sales today in December, you're like 300.
Bob Turley
Yeah.
Deb Holland
That does not pay the rent.
John Clay Wolf
No. It does not pay the staff. Yeah. So you understand why. So these big places, the. The monsters, like the. The spoke and throttle. Yeah. They make enough money in two months or three weeks. Yeah. To cover their year.
Deb Holland
Well, they're still here, so I would assume so, right? I mean, but they, they. It's a hellacious ramp up to get open when you have a bar that big, right? We're talking about a couple hundred people staff, right. And then as soon as it's over with, lock the doors are done. That's not going to be us. We're going to try to stay open seasonally, not just rally. But we can't stay open through the winter again. There's just not enough traffic.
John Clay Wolf
Well, it's so damn pretty up. Did you say you bought a house?
Deb Holland
No, the deal fell through. I, I kind of. I gave a guy my word that I was going to buy it. But then I learned some things before we signed the documents and I had to back.
John Clay Wolf
I had to back out. What was it? What can you say? Like just structural or just things? Easements. I'd rather just leave it alone. But.
Deb Holland
But you know, it just didn't work out. But I'm, I'm still looking. Maybe I'll buy one, maybe I won't.
John Clay Wolf
Right? Are you going to ride to. Are you, Are you done riding? You going to ride some more? I was just wondering your bike was available today.
Deb Holland
I'm gonna get out. I'm gonna, I'm gonna get out a little bit today. I gotta go see a couple of friends that I haven't seen yet and you know, we're making some announcements and getting ready, but we're gonna be open, you know, probably for the next four or five weeks, maybe even longer.
John Clay Wolf
Is Rick still up here? Fearless or there to go home?
Deb Holland
I think he left yesterday. I'm not sure.
John Clay Wolf
I know Brandon went back, but I saw Louie up here just a minute ago from Lucky 7. They're still running around.
Deb Holland
Yeah, I saw him yesterday. I didn't see him this morning yet.
John Clay Wolf
So how, how does I, I just don't understand how this can produce that much. It's just a fair in the middle of the mountains.
Deb Holland
It is, but I mean you're getting, you know, on the big years, like 80 and 85, you get a 25 increase. So they're gonna probably hit somewhere around 8, 900,000 visitors this year. And you know that's, that's pretty massive, right? And then being where we're at, you know, and having the outside bar and the merch store and you know, we're slinging pizzas, we've got tacos and burritos and stuff and the corn dog people are here and it's a good time. I mean I've enjoyed it. But it is a lot of work when you own this thing.
John Clay Wolf
So I was in your shop last week talking to the guys are getting that chevelle ready for sema. System x of chevelle. And I know the other guys are going to come over and help Monday. And then we're going to hop on the Ferrari. When is SEMA? November 1st. Yeah.
Deb Holland
Basically.
John Clay Wolf
So we're September, October. We got two months to knock them both out. We'll have this.
Deb Holland
We'll have the chevelle finished in two weeks.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Deb Holland
And then we'll jump on to the Ferrari. And it's. The ferrari is not going to be too bad. I gotta back up some things and cut some things off and refab a bunch of stuff. But in general, we're in good shape.
John Clay Wolf
Just the guy from system x told one of the guys that he's got another car to put in its place at sema because he doesn't think it's gonna make it. Well, so that was when I called the other day. I said, no, we're not doing that. Yeah, let's. Let's get on. Let's make sure.
Deb Holland
I don't know if that's a challenge or what, but. No, we'll be. I'm just telling you, we'll be just fine. I mean, just the fact that we're building the chevelle so early. Usually we don't start our sema cars till September 20, October 1.
John Clay Wolf
Is it a secret what they're doing with it after Barrett? I'm sorry, after sema. The chevelle or the Ferrari? The chevelle.
Deb Holland
We don't know for sure yet. It is a possibility that sister system X wants to sell it, but he may keep it for a while.
John Clay Wolf
I don't.
Deb Holland
I don't know what he's gonna do.
John Clay Wolf
Because if he just gets it right and he shows it off at sema and then he goes and sells it, I mean, it's fine if he wants to do one of those every year. It's just. It's just kind of. You figured that he won't love and rub on it for a minute.
Deb Holland
Yeah, but if I had a built in sema customer every year, that'd be real nice.
John Clay Wolf
Does he already know what the next one he wants to do is? No.
Deb Holland
We haven't even discussed it.
John Clay Wolf
The flares y' all did on the ass into that thing, the way you wide body it. I really looked that car over hard the other day. The underpinnings of it are incredible. Yeah, incredible.
Deb Holland
No One's done it like that, that I know of. It was something that I really wanted my guys to study up on and figure out how to do correctly because, you know, when you widebody these cars, you know, a lot of people just stick them out. They stick those fenders on there, they build some kind of weirdness. And I wanted it to be very subtle. I want people to walk up to this car and go, wait a second, what's going on?
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Deb Holland
I, I don't understand this. So I think we're doing a great job on it. I haven't seen it in 10 days, so I'm a little nervous about it. But I got faith in my team.
John Clay Wolf
Who's the chassis underneath it?
Deb Holland
That's Speed Tech out of Utah.
John Clay Wolf
It's badass. It is. No, it's super duper duper badass. I mean, I've been learning, hanging out with you and more about how this stuff goes. But now I spent, I don't know, 15 minutes under that car the other day and I was shocked.
Deb Holland
Yeah, it's really, really nice.
John Clay Wolf
They're going to blow it apart and then they're going to paint the whole under the, the chassis again red. Going with a black car, maybe a red stripe. And you got the X in there somewhere. Is it going to be off? It is. It's going to be matte.
Deb Holland
It's going to be a little off centered and it's going to focus on gloss black with some, some matte and satin.
John Clay Wolf
And system X is a polish ceramic.
Deb Holland
Coatings and polishes for. Obviously they do it for cars, but they got their start in the aerospace industry. They did like the wax coatings for the space shuttle and stuff.
John Clay Wolf
So they might have made some money during that time.
Deb Holland
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But now they're a great little company and they, they got a lot going on and, and there's really, really intelligent psychology or intelligent ingredients and real science behind what they do.
John Clay Wolf
Right. All right, we got a boogie, guys. Richard Rawlins. Thanks for coming on. I will. We're gonna, we're gonna keep rolling in California for a minute. We're gonna lose most of you guys in the central time zones, in the mountain time zones.

John Clay Wolf
My wife is why I don't do it anymore. She says that it really makes me sound like a jerk because he's a good guy and I'm making fun of a good guy and I'm going to go to hell and I shouldn't be doing that. So I've heard enough of that. I'm like, okay, I'll quit.
