[J.D. Ryan]

Good morning, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bob.

[Bobbo]

Yo, yo, yo.

[John Clay Wolf]

This was a bit of a last minute gig. It was on, then it was off. And I didn't make the decision to make it on until Friday. So that's why y' all didn't know I wasn't there.

[J.D. Ryan]

I flipped on the Facebook last night. I went, oh, I guess John's not gonna be with us in the morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I am here with you. I'm just not there with you. I'm definitely with you in spirit. It's not. Not physically.

[Bobbo]

[Bobbo]

On stage with Paul when JD JD texted, text me. I was like, he's like, is John in Talladega?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah, he is.

So it ain't no. It ain't no thing, hoss. We got you covered. We're able to do this.

[Caller/Listener]

Very cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

How was y' all set last night?

[Bobbo]

It was fine. It was fine.

[Caller/Listener]

Paul.

[Bobbo]

I tell you what, Paul is, you know, there's a lot going on.

[John Clay Wolf]

What we're talking about is Rattlesnake Roadhouse in Walnut Springs, Texas. And Bobbo and Paul play there every Friday evening.

[Bobbo]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Go ahead, Bob.

[Bobbo]

Paul's. Paul's going through a lot these days. Without going into too many details with his is, you know, his marriage is kind of breaking up.

[John Clay Wolf]

He wasn't married, but go ahead. Is that right?

[Bobbo]

And they, they kind of.

[John Clay Wolf]

They'd be staying together.

[Bobbo]

They own the place together. And there's money falling off rooftops everywhere and phones are being turned off and utilities and bank accounts and just crazy. So he's a little distracted. But Paul is so internalized, it doesn't bother his playing. But he's got a few more chores in a day, so, you know, it's. We're going all right, we can still.

[John Clay Wolf]

We can still play. We broke up with his longtime woman. Yeah, marriage is marriage. Long time woman is long time woman. But they were be staying together and they had a disruption in the force.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a nice way to put it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I am the third odd man out. You know, when we did that deal, my lawyer three times came to me and said, are you sure you want to do this with these folks?

[J.D. Ryan]

Three times?

[John Clay Wolf]

Three times.

[J.D. Ryan]

The third time I saw him, I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was like one of them. Yes. The other one, we'll see. And then 18 months later we saw.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, well that's lawyer's job, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, he like, like really, really, really try to talk me out of it. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. What's going on in the news? J.D. ryan.

[J.D. Ryan]

See, this is kind of funny. One of my favorite stories of the week. An 80 year old. Mike, can you turn this up just a little bit? Just touch. 80 year old woman in Japan lost her life savings to a romance scammer. You've heard these guys that get on the Internet.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is just what, like what happened to Paul?

[J.D. Ryan]

Exactly. But this one's very creative. Okay, so you got the 80 year old woman in Japan. This guy gets online and says he's an. Are you ready? An astronaut in space and he's running out of oxygen.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh no.

[J.D. Ryan]

But if she could give, if she could give him some money, I guess he buy the oxygen when the oxygen truck comes by in outer space, who knows? But she bought it and sadly gave a lot of her money away. Here's the.

[John Clay Wolf]

How much did the auction. What's it cost to load off the oxygen truck in outer space?

[J.D. Ryan]

Quite a bit. You're about to find out. Cut five.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Podbean Announcer]

An 80 year old Japanese woman lost around 1 million yen or close to $6,700 to an online scammer posing as her love interest. One who also had a rather unique story. Through online chats, the fraudster reportedly managed to convince the old lady that he was in fact an astronaut in distress, stranded in space and in need of funds to buy oxygen. According to the police, the man whom she met on social media fostered a romantic connection with her, only to swindle thousands of dollars. Police describing this as a romance scam which is increasingly targeting the country's old and lonely.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, but US$8,600 is a million yen.

[Bobbo]

It's a million yen.

[J.D. Ryan]

So she got out a million yen.

[Michael Turley]

Pakistan.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sir, that news story sounds a little more Asian than Paki to Me? You do it again.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm not hearing Mike.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on. You might be right. You might be.

[Podbean Announcer]

Old Japanese woman lost around 1 million yen.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, you're right.

[Podbean Announcer]

$6,700 to an online scammer.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's Indian, and I don't mean Oklahoma.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, we know dogs, but yeah, so, I mean, come on, people. I realize she's 80, but I'm running out of oxygen. Hell, I'm sorry. My favorite story of the week.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, did you ever hustle any gals out of money, J.D.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, of course not. Dear Lord, no. I've never even been hustled out of anything by anyone, to be honest. I mean, I had one girl want me to buy her tires one. One time. Well, she had a girlfriend and her boyfriend bought her tires. And I looked at her and went, are you pitching me for new tires?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, the boyfriend was there, she had.

[J.D. Ryan]

A girlfriend, and her.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's getting better.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep. And her girlfriend's boyfriend bought her tires.

[John Clay Wolf]

So.

[J.D. Ryan]

And so my girlfriend came to me and said, you know, Billy bought Susan tires. Yeah, and you pitching me for tires. Well, you know, it's safe if I drive around.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, Easy E sang about this back in 1987. Really? What was it this song called? Dope Man.

[J.D. Ryan]

Dope Man. Didn't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, you need to listen to it.

[J.D. Ryan]

On the way home today, Dope Man. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Trading P for crack.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hey, I listen to Pre K. I love his music.

[Michael Turley]

Not quite the same.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, this has been going on in your world for years.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, no doubt.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's cracking?

[Michael Turley]

He's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you listening to JD Where. Where's Gal Was trying to ask him for a set of tires.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now I got a homie on hold.

[Michael Turley]

A 68 Camaro. What, y' all need some pimping advice? Yes, JD needs some pimping adv.

[J.D. Ryan]

Don't have that problem anymore. I'm married to a lovely lady who's quite financially stable, doesn't want me to buy.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, how much are a pair of tires? How much are a set of tires? And what had she been doing for you?

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, we've been dating for.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm on her side so far.

[J.D. Ryan]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

How was that? Oh, yeah. Why? Because. Four hundred. A hundred dollars around she. Was she driving a Neon?

[J.D. Ryan]

No. I don't even know what she was driving. I don't remember. Just the audacity of somebody. I think we'd been dating like six weeks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

Ye.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

So how many rounds had you had with her?

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't have a clue. Those Numbers don't mean anything.

[Michael Turley]

But isn't it six weeks?

[John Clay Wolf]

Can we make up 20 rounds at least? Sure, sure, sure, sure. Okay. And she needed four rounds on her Neon. That's a hundred dollars around. And where would you have scored her on a scale of 1 to 10?

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't. I. I'm married now, so I don't really do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Kim's funny. I've met your wife. She laughs Hilarious. She's laughing at this conversation.

[Michael Turley]

She drove a Dodge Neon.

[J.D. Ryan]

She did not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, she drove a Dodge Neon.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Plymouth Neon.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, she did.

[Michael Turley]

So probably. Probably X Stripper.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. Doubt it. Nope, just a good old gal. Probably a teacher.

[J.D. Ryan]

She was not a teacher. She had a regular business job.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And she needed four tires from her man.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why did I open this can of worms?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, you know, like a discount tire.

[J.D. Ryan]

And that was literally the last day I saw her. I went, no, get out of here. No, you were done.

[Bobbo]

Go away forever.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[Michael Turley]

You're not a gentleman.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, I'm not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you were. No, no. She's moving down the category quickly. So she was an eight in my mind, because she was J.D. ryan's Hyde. But J.D. was drinking a lot back then, and he was looking at her and he was like, you know, you're a five, and this might be a moment of exit.

[J.D. Ryan]

This is definitely a moment of exit.

[Bobbo]

That's true, though, John. Anything that competes with the whiskey budget, like, you have to really, like, think.

[J.D. Ryan]

About how many bottles of whiskey.

[Bobbo]

Christmas is coming.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Michael Turley]

Is she worth the tires?

[Mike August]

No, no, no, no.

[Bobbo]

Neon times.

[J.D. Ryan]

And it's gonna start there. And then the next week, the boy, her other boyfriend's friend, is gonna buy her girlfriend something.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[J.D. Ryan]

Get out of here.

[Bobbo]

What's he gonna buy her? She's already got tires. I think you screwed this up.

[J.D. Ryan]

I did not screw up that tire thing.

[Bobbo]

You can ride that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can you give me your name so I can look her up on Facebook?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, I will not. I don't even remember her name.

[Michael Turley]

But if she was hot tires and gas, too, right? You'd fill that tank up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Little gas. Never heard a brother. I don't know why you don't put them on hold.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm the dumbest thing on feet even. Bring this up.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Caller/Listener]

It's a four speed stick.

[John Clay Wolf]

And do you know what engines in it?

[Caller/Listener]

I think it's the same. Is it a 302? Is that what they put in them?

[John Clay Wolf]

They have several different variations, so we're not sure. You just know. You just know. You think it's pretty.

[Caller/Listener]

It sounds like 30 to 40 grand off the top of my head. Not knowing what we're talking about. Just a good solid 68 Camaro in 69. They changed this silly little window thing and it makes them worth more. 69s are more desirable. But anyway, yeah, just go to givemetheven.com and load it up and we will still take a bunch of pictures and take a video.

[Caller/Listener]

I don't have a car. I mean, I have a piece of shit infinity sitting out front of my house and I don't even know what year it is, but it's been sitting there forever. But I just called to tell you guys how much I love listening to you every Saturday morning while I'm walking my dogs.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, thank you. I appreciate that. You're not our normal demographic, dog walker, younger lady.

[Caller/Listener]

I am never. Go ahead.

[John Clay Wolf]

When I said younger lady, you're like, no, keep going.

[Caller/Listener]

I mean, I'm a 40, 40, 44 year old housewife who started a pet sitting business and I'm with dogs every Saturday morning and I need something to listen to. And you guys are on 92. Five down here. The bow and them show that I listen to during the week. And so I listen to you guys on the weekend. And I never hear women call in. And I had to call and tell.

[Podbean Announcer]

You that you have women listening to your show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. Women and dogs. Put headsets on the dogs. I appreciate it. So they don't hear it. We don't want to. We don't want to damage their piece of being. Katie, thank you very much. Thanks for calling in. Craig in Pittsburgh.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, John, how you doing this morning?

[John Clay Wolf]

Good.

[Caller/Listener]

I got a 2013 Toyota Avalon with 28, 000 miles on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's pretty good miles. Pretty good miles.

[Caller/Listener]

It sits in the garage. It's my wife's baby.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it like 15 grand?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, no, no, no, no. I got an offer for 19. Like to be up around 20 if we could get that, but you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's a 22 year old Toyota with 20,000 miles. Go into givemetheven.com and load it up. Let's take a look.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay. What do you need? Pictures?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep, pictures. The VIN number. Take some pictures of that ugly bitch and send him to me. I thought I was hitting it pretty hard.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, I will take the pictures and send them to you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, sir. 800-800-7234. Ava in Memphis, Tennessee. Good morning. Earlier.

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning. How are you?

[John Clay Wolf]

Good. What you got?

[Caller/Listener]

I've got a 72 Cutlass that needs a lot of work, and I honestly don't know how many miles it has. I know the odometer's turned over. That I do know. And I got it from somebody up north, so the. Like, the trunk is rusted out, and it needs a lot of work, but the motor and transmission are good. And when I did drive it, it would get up and go. This has been a while since I've driven it. I got another car, and I put it up in the garage.

[John Clay Wolf]

When's the last time you drove it?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, my goodness. Probably 10 years ago, if not more than that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it look like the sports car, or does it look like the grocery getter?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, no, no, no. It looks like the sports car. It looks good, but it needs a paint job. It needs body work. It needs quite a bit.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you think it costs to get it all restored?

[Caller/Listener]

That's why it's not been done yet. I don't know, but I know it'd be a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sounds like 50 grand to restore it. The way you're talking.

[Caller/Listener]

I wouldn't think that. But then, I don't know. You may be right.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's some cars that just aren't worth messing with. In the rust part of your conversation, if it was. If it was like a. It's kind of the same. If it was a 442, that was.

[Caller/Listener]

No, it's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

But, yeah, I think it's worth. Based on your description, I think it's worth nothing. Which sounds crazy. Parts, metal. Oh, my God. If you spent. If you spent 50 grand restoring it, then.

[Caller/Listener]

Right? You're right. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, it might be. It might be worth 500. A thousand bucks, because somebody would take it and do a cheap resto, and you can own it for 10. 10, or 15 grand. 15 grand is. I don't think you're gonna get in that thing less than 15 grand. Okay, well, you're not sitting on a gold mine.

[Caller/Listener]

It breaks my heart.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is the antique road show. You did not bring me Kentuck King Touch, Jewel. And.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did you pay for it back when you got it?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, my gosh. $700.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, I think now we all know what we're talking about. Thank you, Ava. My name is John Clay Wolf. I buy cars on the radio for America's best car buyer. Give me the VIN. Give me the VIN. Givemetheven.com.

[Show Announcer]

Yo, we're back to the John Clay Wolf show, taking over your radio every Saturday morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you are one of our Nashville listeners or in that zone, I highly Suggest you go to the trail. Triple Crown of Rotting this morning at the Super Speedway out by Lebanon, Mount Juliet, etc. It's at the. You know, it's a. It's a NASCAR track and the infield is cars and it's the coolest car gathering. It's not sema, but it's not that far from it either. It's the best set of cars I've ever seen in a car show in my life. Besides. And I haven't been to sema, so of course, that would be the best. But we went there yesterday morning and it's called the Triple Crown of Rotting. This is only the third year of it, and it's taken off like hotcakes. It's. It's really cool. Everybody that's. Anybody's out there, and we've got a lot of tape from yesterday. Ran into a lot of listeners, actually, guys. A lot of people that know us. That was fun.

[Michael Turley]

Buy anything out there?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I did not. We were in too big of a hurry. I had one meeting I had to make and. And I got on one of those little devil, one of those little scooters and ran around and checked everything out and it was cool. I wish I could. I wish I could go back. I will go back. Triple Crown of Rotting at the Super Speedway outside of Nashville. It is a must go today if you're in that zone.

[Michael Turley]

Where are you at right now?

[John Clay Wolf]

I am in Talladega. Diga Duga Dugga, Oklahoma. I mean, International Motorsports hall of Fame, Talladega, Alabama.

[Michael Turley]

Can they come?

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm sitting. Do you see in the cameras what's behind me?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. What is that?

[John Clay Wolf]

That's Earnhardt's car.

[J.D. Ryan]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Look, I see the three on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Go to. It's. It's his car.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

In the other room. They have a rec room in here of the big wrecks that have happened in nascar and the wrecked cars are in there.

[Michael Turley]

Is his in there, too?

[John Clay Wolf]

This is not. No. I don't know if his wrecked car is here or not. I'm gonna go through that after we get off the air today. Didn't have a chance to.

[Michael Turley]

Is that open to the public? Can they come out and see you?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah. They're having their big weekend out here and it's a fundraiser for the Paul Newman collection, that Adam Carolla's. And I've got that Paul Newman car in Walnut at our little baby museum, and it's coming out here, too, to join its brothers and sisters in the Paul Newman race car. Collection. And that's what this weekend is about. It's a fundraiser to redo a wing of the museum to house the Newman collection. And they're having their car show here. So there's about 300 cars in the parking lot. And they do this once a year. They had a dinner, fundraiser, auction thing last night that Corolla was the MC of, and he was supposed to do a set, and everybody came to see him, and he asked me. He's like, I really need you to be there. So I came yesterday, and when I was looking for the place, I got a call from them saying that their flight was delayed.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that I'm on my own. Oh, wow.

[Michael Turley]

Hold on.

[J.D. Ryan]

So wait a minute. So they. All right, they came there to see Adam, but they got. Instead, they got a better deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

They got you, right?

[Michael Turley]

So, yeah, you had to talk to folks that were expecting Adam, and all of a sudden you pop out there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, my God. Can you imagine, like, going to a concert and you're like, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Whiskey Joe shows up instead of Motley Crue? Yep.

[Michael Turley]

How did that go?

[John Clay Wolf]

It was pretty stiff.

[Bobbo]

Was it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Was it comedy? Were you supposed to be funny?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it was your mc. No, I had no run sheet. I had no plan. I got no prep. I've got no background of what the expectation was. I asked the guys running. I was like, do y'. All. Is there, like a program here of what we're supposed to go through? No.

[Bobbo]

Oh, God.

[J.D. Ryan]

Here's a microphone gone out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow.

[Bobbo]

So you didn't. Did you not trash Adam a little bit during your old spiel?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, but he did call in from the Admiral's Club at the airport, and he was on the PA with me for a minute on the phone, and I could tell him. I could tell he was put out, you know, so we got him on the pa, and I'm sitting there in the middle of this huge ass stage. This is, like, very awkward, right? Looking at these people, I'm like, is there anything you'd like to tell all these good folks while you've got their attention? Carolla? Well, first of all, I'd like to tell them, thank you for coming out tonight. I said, well, I've already done that.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, that's covered.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then you start talking about the Newman collection, and it's just kind of, you know, from a phone call in an airport, over a PA in a museum in Talladega, Alabama, at a seated dinner is pretty stale, bud.

[Michael Turley]

You're hearing a lot of the clinking of the silverware and glasses, I'm sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure. Yeah. I was really just watching a lot of people talk to each other at their table.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Hey, that. That conversation you guys over at table 10 seems like it's better than what I'm doing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why don't bring it up here and let's share, because it sounds more interesting than what I'm talking about.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, God.

[Michael Turley]

Is that the most. It's got to be the most uncomfortable thing you've done, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Absolutely.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. That sounds like one of those bad dreams you have when you're in radio. Nothing works and you're not. You have no script, and, you know, well, what am I doing up here, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

I have no shtick. Is this a comedy deal? No.

[Mike August]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Because I almost wish it was, and I'll tell you the truth. So we got about 20 minutes into this deal, and I'm like, okay, So I could turn this on and crank this up once I cut him off the phone because his phone thing wasn't helping a damn thing, I can tell you that. No, it just was. He had no feedback from them. He didn't know what I was looking at. So I'm just piping him in over the speakers, and I'm like, I could save this and try to jam this room up, but I think I'm just gonna pass.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's actually very cool because.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because my. My jam the room up and fire it up kind of stuff. The setting, I felt like I was at an ice cream social at the Baptist church. Wow. Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

I know exactly what you're talking about.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly. You know, And I was like, I don't think that they're in the mood for the entertainment that I could provide. Wow.

[Michael Turley]

So did you just say, all right, enjoy the steak.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I did the live auctions coming up after me. And don't forget the silent items on the side. Well, I'm glad to be here with y'. All.

[J.D. Ryan]

So when you're a keynote speaker, the thing is, get there the day before 4 to.

[John Clay Wolf]

I didn't have a keynote to speak about.

[J.D. Ryan]

Not. Yeah. But Adam should have been there the day before.

[Michael Turley]

How much did Adam pay you for this?

[John Clay Wolf]

Zero.

[Michael Turley]

He owes you something.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, the debt is unbelievable. The debt is unbelievable.

[J.D. Ryan]

Have you talked to him since. Did you talk to him afterwards?

[John Clay Wolf]

I have not.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, that's going to be a good conversation.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's. He's gonna be here pretty soon, I believe. I think.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, we've all been to Flight Delays, that is. Sure. When I got my pilot's license, I was going to an auction in Arkansas every Tuesday morning. And I would run to the gate at 6:30 at Southwest at Love Field and they'd shut the door and I was always barely on time. You know how I work. And. And they shut that door in front of me, twice in front of me outside. And once they shut the door to the airplane, you're not getting on, you're done. Even if it's sitting there for 30 more minutes, you're not getting.

[J.D. Ryan]

Doesn't matter.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. And I'm like, I'm gonna get a pilot's license and I'm gonna get a small airplane. I'm gonna start flying myself to these deals. And that was back in 1998, and I've been doing that ever since. So that's not for everybody, but it was for me. Yeah. I hate commercial. Holy hell. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. My name is John Craig Clay Wolf. 76 El Dorado convertible, 29,000 miles, pinhole rest in the trunk. Hey, Kevin, go to GMTVCC and load that thing up, will you.

[Caller/Listener]

Sir?

[John Clay Wolf]

Kevin in a Washington in Alexandria, Virginia. There. Yes. Tell him to load. Oh, okay. There you are. Yeah. Give me the VIN Classic collector. Go to GMTVCC, load up the 76 El Dorado and take all the pictures you can of the rust. Because it says pinhole rust in the trunk and I get it. So we can paint over that. But what else is in there?

[Caller/Listener]

You actually, the. The rust is so. It's literally a fingernail rip off your fingernails. That's what you've got around the edge of the. On the trunk, the reflector light.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's the two square reflector lights on the back. No sweat.

[Caller/Listener]

And I mean, body wise, she's in. She's in. Superior. I love.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, I love what color gold you want. 10,000 for it. I might buy this car. Thank you. I gotta. I've gotta run to break. I just took a picture of your phone number. I'm gonna send it to my guy. I'll have him call you. Okay. Okay, thanks. Sir, my name is John Clay Wolf by Cars and radio for America's best car buyer, givemetheven.com. oh, yeah, we're back.

[Show Announcer]

Back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com and now, Senor Juan Clay Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did y' all watch the Chiefs get beat last night?

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, me and Bobby were watching it last night on YouTube and they did it for Free? Yeah, they're promoting.

[John Clay Wolf]

Boy, if that isn't a sucker punch. Why others dragging in, fixing to sign you up? I mean, there's making YouTube more normal. Google has made so much money off of planet earth. Google owns YouTube. It is disgusting. And they can do stupid things like that where they just take a loss leader to brand up their product, which is YouTube. And it's gonna work. They're gonna take over the world. Somebody's gonna stop these people. You think Standard Oil was a problem? This is a problem. They charge like we have to pay YouTube. Forgivemetheven.com which is our own name.

[J.D. Ryan]

What? Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, because if you go to YouTube and I mean, I'm not YouTube. I'm sorry, Google. And you search give me the vin.com or give me the vin, then other people have bid on that name. Carmax, Carvana, et cetera. Right. So the first returns are the guys that bought the name. And then your name, your website comes up after the paying people.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, Their thing says sponsored, and then you got to scroll down to find the first real return.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure. But the first three or four you see are your competitors. So how do you fix that? You buy your own name back to be at the top of the fold.

[J.D. Ryan]

Is it expensive?

[John Clay Wolf]

In every. Oh, oh, oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. And then your competitors do the same. So it just turns into an auction and there's. There's prices. Like, what is your name trading for? What's the price on your name? Well, on Saturday mornings right now, our name is at a premium because we have more attention. Sure. While the radio shows going on. Yeah, no, I mean, so. So did you ever watch the old mob movies where they. On the business owners for.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, right. It would be a shame if something bad happens to your dry cleaning. You know, it could happen, Jim me.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what it is. Wow.

[J.D. Ryan]

Dude, I had no idea you had to buy your own name back from Google. This is ridiculous.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's just me. Oh. If you put in Coke, Pepsi shows up. You put in Pepsi, Coke shows up. Who's getting paid all these? The mob. The Google mob.

[J.D. Ryan]

Google mob.

[John Clay Wolf]

Google mob. And then all of the cable companies. Not all, but most are failing. Cable TV.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know why?

[J.D. Ryan]

YouTube.

[John Clay Wolf]

YouTube.

[J.D. Ryan]

YouTube.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Those commercials that you're having to sit through now that you didn't in the beginning.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Those were the commercials run on cable television. They gotcha.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what they did with guys like us, like our YouTube money last month, I think was $10,000. Oh, wow.

[J.D. Ryan]

Not bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we got a check from YouTube for $10,000 for creating content on the John Clay Wolf YouTube channel. Okay. So they put everybody to work creating content, programming. Sure. To compete with the networks. And it's working.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's so much of it. So everybody can find. And what I'm doing right now is just a big ad for YouTube. Right. I pay for the dude.

[J.D. Ryan]

Go ahead.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm telling you, it will be. I mean it. How are you going to beat it? Now they're paying off everybody to make the stuff. They're not having to pay production shops. They're paying Everybody else, basically 10% of the scrape. So whatever they're selling in ads, YouTube is paying the creators 10% of the money that they're selling in ads.

[Michael Turley]

And these.

[John Clay Wolf]

So they've got.

[Michael Turley]

Do what I was saying. These creators were on the. At the game, in the NFL game. They're interviewing these creators that no one really hears about unless you're into that scene. That's how popular they are now. I mean, it's crazy that they're celebrities.

[John Clay Wolf]

YouTube. So YouTube had the game. Yeah. And they cut to their. Their stars. The YouTube star.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, yeah. During the.

[J.D. Ryan]

Brilliant.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, the networks used to do the same thing. Hey, Jerry Seinfeld, you know, tell me about your show. It's on our network about 7 a. 7 p. You know, so they're plugging their stars. They're Mr. Beasts and the rest of them. Okay. They're gonna take over the world.

[Bobbo]

Battle of the network stars. Saturday at 6 on ABC.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Mr. Beast had a whole thing at the beginning. I mean, it was like, all right, I see where this is going.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was that those.

[Bobbo]

Those the guys that I kept asking about? Who's that? Turley? Who's that?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a creator.

[J.D. Ryan]

They're creators.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, they're branding. They're making their stars.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

They are killing Hollywood. Serious.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not kind of.

[J.D. Ryan]

Everybody's out there. Everybody is a production house now. Any kid with a camera, GoPro and a laptop is a production house.

[John Clay Wolf]

And there's some good ones.

[J.D. Ryan]

And there's.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, if you look at our videos, if you look at art, like our last video we put out last week.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's already at almost. I think it's 550,000 views and 150,000 hours of watch time. That's great. But the production is not bad. And it was one guy that's 29 years old with a camera and a set of mics and a laptop.

[J.D. Ryan]

Boom.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's all it takes. And in a vision, in some Creative art. Know how to do it? Sure. We've learned a lot since we started this few years ago. It's a pain in the ass. You got to figure out how to do this and how the people want to digest it. But the format that they digest in is different than the way the television format used to be. So it's changed the watching behavior. Anyway, we'll be back in a minute. My name is John Claywolf. Tune in after this song to hear me. That seems to be. What are you live?

[J.D. Ryan]

Can you have time to tell us where you are?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I can give title. It's the International Motorsports hall of Fame. Talladega, is it? Dagger. Dagger. Talladega. Nevada. Nevada. Tomato, Tomato. I always knew that I just for some reason I saw something where they were arguing over over the pronunciation. It's got me screwed up now. But yeah, this museum down here is killer. If you're a NASCAR freak come or just a mild fan, come down here. This is worth the trip. This is the holy grail of motorsports. Alright, Be right back.

Okay, so what about spitting? What's that called?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, did you hear about man? Little football. NFL kick. NFL kicked off this week with a defending champion, the Eagles beating the Dallas Cowboys 24 to 20. And yes, the two teams, they've been rivals for a very long time. It's gotten ugly many, many times. It especially got really ugly before the game really even got started. Cat number two.

Did he spit on him?

[John Clay Wolf]

He did. Jaylen Carter out of this game before a snap. Wow.

I mean, would you expect it from anybody else but a Philadelphia Eagle?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's right.

[Mike August]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I mean, I'm surprised that loogie went and wrapped in a Duracell battery.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'll never let that down. Dak Prescott tied. This is his take on the spitting incident that got the Eagles defensive tackle thrown out of the game. Cut three.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, I probably spit a thousand times throughout the game. I mean, I was right here by the two linemen and guess I needed to spit and I wasn't gonna spin on my lineman and I just spit a head. But I would say he was back there where Jory was in that sense. And he goes, you trying to spin on me? And at that point, I mean, I felt like, what the hell would I. Excuse me, but I'm probably even more colorful. What would I need to spit on you for? And he just spit on me in that moment. And it was more of a surprise than anything. Refs obviously saw it through the flag. I was like, hell, yeah. We get 15 yards to start the game off. Didn't realize he was getting ejected. Unfortunate that he did. Hell of a player like that. Doesn't even get a chance in the first play. God, it was so great when. I mean, it was. Everything's all hyped up, ready to go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[Michael Turley]

And seeing it happen and get kicked out, it's like, oh, you know what? Cowboys might have a chance now because he's a star. Oh, yeah. He's the cog in that defense.

[Bobbo]

It made a difference, definitely.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, they changed the game. I thought Dak Did a great job of baiting him. That's really what he did. He spits all the time. And he just happened to see. He just happened to spit down on the ground and see him right up front there. And he knew once that guy said.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you doing?

[Michael Turley]

Trying to spit. Walking up is the baiting part.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Michael Turley]

And he's like. And he knows this guy's got. He's a loose cannon because he's got a.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's done it before.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, not that, but so much, but other things.

[John Clay Wolf]

Things.

[Michael Turley]

So he did a great job of getting kicked. Him kicked out of the game. That was awesome.

[J.D. Ryan]

So you think Dak did all that on purpose?

[Michael Turley]

Not the spitting.

[John Clay Wolf]

Should have peed on him.

[J.D. Ryan]

He should have.

[John Clay Wolf]

What?

[Michael Turley]

He baited him.

[J.D. Ryan]

He baited him?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Okay.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, that was great. Now, if somebody spat on you, I thought Dak did a great job of.

[J.D. Ryan]

Holding, not punching him in the face. Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

What about you, John? Somebody did that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, you're in a football uniform. Who cares? I mean, like, did it hit him in the face?

[Michael Turley]

No, I hit him right in the chest.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's probably helped. The Eagles. Jersey Cowboys.

[J.D. Ryan]

Jersey Cowboys.

[Michael Turley]

So if someone spat on you, you wouldn't just. You just kind of like.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the Cowboys. I'm so down. I'm just so down. I'm still down. If he spat on me, like, right here. If we're sitting right here and the guy spit on me. Well, if it was him, I'd just say, man, I wish you hadn't done that, because I know I'm. I'm not going to pick a fight that I can't win.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, I'll pick it for you, man. Somebody spits on you with me around, I'm gonna beat that ass.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, you're not gonna beat that guy's ass. Yes, I am. No, you're not.

[Bobbo]

I ain't having it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're gonna get your ass beat. Okay?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're that guy. I've seen you be that guy before. I've seen you in your moments when you were indefensible and bulletproof, and it just doesn't always work.

[Michael Turley]

And then you end up getting in the fight, Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what happens, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then you're gonna kill Kyle Casey that night at the bar. You remember that? Yeah.

[Bobbo]

And he's only, like, nine feet tall, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I learned that when I was about 20. No, I was 18 years old. We were playing Texas Tech the next morning. Football went out that night because I knew I wasn't playing because I was a red shirt and I was at the Tijuana Yacht Club. Got in an argument with somebody, and the bouncer came up talking smack, and I was all roided out. I wasn't roided out, but I've been working out a lot, so I was pretty jacked. And. And. And he started talking smack. And I said, I don't think you're bad enough. And he kneed me in the balls. And then he grabbed the back of my head and slammed his knee into my face. And then his guy came up behind me and choked me down till I passed out. And I woke up outside, no hesitation.

[Bobbo]

This guy. I love that story.

[John Clay Wolf]

This happened so fast, I didn't even realize. I mean, I barely remember those. No, no, no, no. Need me to hit my face on his knee. The guy came up behind me, took my hands behind my back, and then the guy took my head and slammed it into the bar. Left that one out. And then they choked me down and then they took me out. And I'm outside and I wake up and my buddy, well, if you could take his ass, you need to get back up and go back in there. I'm like, dude, I'm good.

[J.D. Ryan]

Done.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm done. I'm not. I'm drunk. I'm not gonna go back in there, get my ass.

[J.D. Ryan]

Were you all bloodied?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, no, no, no, no. I don't remember that part. Little. Little bruise. But. But the next morning, you know, because I was a red shirt freshman and we had a game the next morning and I remember having to put my helmet on and go through the drills anyway for warm up, like those sideline boy at smu.

[Michael Turley]

And it hurt like you played a game already, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it was not good. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Oh, gosh. So do you have Florida news? Yes, we do.

[Bobbo]

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]

They do crazy things in Florida. Remember the cops arrested Chuck E. Cheese, the employee who was dressed as. As the big rat. He was dressed like Chuck E. Cheese. This just a couple of months ago. Well, Tallahassee police have now at the Chuck E. Cheese.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did they yank him off the stage?

[J.D. Ryan]

Of all the kids.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's worse than getting your ass kicked by the bouncers.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, they did. Tallahassee cops have now released the body cam footage, and it shows some parents getting upset too, because they were arresting Chuck E. Cheese in front of the children. Cut number eight we're gonna detain them out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, we are. Do it. I want you to. Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

Grab them. Get him.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't resist. Do not resist. Don't let your hands go. Let your hands go. He's a crime. He's a criminal. What would you like to know?

[J.D. Ryan]

Do not take Chuck E. Cheese.

[Michael Turley]

I want you take him outside.

[John Clay Wolf]

In.

[J.D. Ryan]

Front of these children.

[Michael Turley]

Don't do that to Chucky.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh my God.

[John Clay Wolf]

They could. They shouldn't have done that in front of those kids.

[J.D. Ryan]

They could have taken him outside. Say, take the hat off. We need to talk to you outside.

[John Clay Wolf]

That.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's the way to do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Didn't the mascot's head come off running up to a football game this year?

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, the duck for Oregon.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Michael Turley]

I think he did it on purpose because they do all. He does a lot of bits or that. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because he ran back so crazy.

[J.D. Ryan]

He got up and ran off like he was on of top fire.

[Michael Turley]

Because it's. The whole thing is you never see who's underneath mask and so it's like.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, I saw the duck.

[Michael Turley]

I know who's doing who's the duck? And yeah, that was the whole thing.

[Bobbo]

Organ duck's got a lot of reels online. He's. Yeah, he's a jokester.

[John Clay Wolf]

Charlie, who's your top Texas five teams this year. No, let's go three top three Texas. College teams.

[Michael Turley]

Texas and then I'll go a. M. Smu, tcu, Baylor.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I think Tech is going to surprise you.

[Michael Turley]

Actually, you know what? I forgot about Tech. No, no, no. I'll take that back. I'll put.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll.

[Michael Turley]

I'll bump Tech top five. Yeah, no, they're going to be good because they bought a lot of players, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh. I mean, if you can't make this team work, money will not buy talent. They bought coaching. They've bought people. I don't know if their nil spend is the top. Is it the top of the nation? Yeah, it's a lot.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah. They're so take out Baylor because Baylor is going to get their butt kicked probably by SMU today. So.

[John Clay Wolf]

What time is that?

[Michael Turley]

11 o'.

[John Clay Wolf]

Clock. Damn it. I'm going to miss it. Okay. Because I'm heading back home after we get off the air today. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio start calling in. By the way. The lightning round is coming up next. Ut. Who's their backup quarterback?

[Michael Turley]

Wow, I don't know, John. Yeah, they're not talking about the backup moments.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Uncle Rico. The Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite meme is the best ever. Yeah. Where they're. Where they're comparing Arch Manning's throwing style to Uncle Rico's. It's really good.

[Bobbo]

I love it, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. We're here live at the international Motorsports hall of Fame in Talladega. If you go to the YouTube stream, you will see Dale Earnhardt's car right here behind me. There's people starting to wake up. They're walking through here. They're having a big show today and I am here on location. The guys are back at the studio, which is very comfortable, I can tell you that.

[J.D. Ryan]

It is very nice.

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I thought about making a run for it last night actually, after my. My moment. Yeah. On, on, on the spotlight. Okay. I'm gonna go out here and look at Dale Earnhardt's bus right now and I will be right back. Cool. My name's John Clay Wolf by cars on the radio for America's best car buyer. Give me the VI N.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're gonna bid some cars.

[Caller/Listener]

All right, Dave.

[John Clay Wolf]

In Raleigh, North Carolina Fort 2014, 11 year old F150SXT. 5 liter, 117, 000 mile two wheel drive. You owe 28. You're buried. Just smoke. Done. I would file a personal bankruptcy on that one. Or let it repo.

[Caller/Listener]

I did too much, huh?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I mean, yeah. What are you thinking? Where'd you buy that? Off some tricky dicks. Note Lot 28 interest.

[Caller/Listener]

It was Carvana.

[John Clay Wolf]

Damn. They put the screws to your ass, dog. I mean, have you ever ridden horses or like, ridden Bronx?

[Caller/Listener]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like every bounce, right when. When they're scoring a bronc rider, every bounce, they've got to run their spurs up the side of that horse to get better scores. And when they were done with you, they scored an 87. They ran the spurs up down your rib cage. It cracked them. Yeah, you smoked.

[Caller/Listener]

We were in a tight spot and had bad credit. So that's, that's the way it went for us.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, what are you gonna do?

[Caller/Listener]

That's all I can do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, if it goes back, the credit won't get better, right?

[Caller/Listener]

But no, it will not.

[John Clay Wolf]

How bad is the credit right now? Because if it's real bad, I just let that bitch go.

[Michael Turley]

Just double down.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just double down.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm not sure it's that bad. My wife really takes care of all the finances. This is the first time I've checked about any kind of pricing on it or anything.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're a solid 10 grand. You're more than that. But let's just make it easy on your 10 grand in the ditch. So you got to write 10 grand to get out of the truck, but pull your credit score. If it's under a 550, I just let it go back.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. There's some good advice from your preacher, John Claywolf.

[Michael Turley]

Unlike what any other show. You know, there's that advice guy, Dave Ramsey. John, you're completely opposite. Just let it go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, Just light it on fire and send it to him. Hire that truck driver dude that's fixed to retire. Give him some meth and have him just drive it right into the side of Carvana's building.

[Michael Turley]

That'll go great.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. David, an 06 Roadmaster wagon, collector's edition with a 90,000 miles. Looks like a family truckster just bought it. What'd you pay?

[Caller/Listener]

I can't. I'm definitely not underwater in it. I run a salvage yard and it came across the yard and I paid 250 for it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it nice or is it rough? It's got to be rough.

[Caller/Listener]

I'll do this. It's clean as.

[John Clay Wolf]

What will you sell to me for? I don't know.

[Caller/Listener]

That's what I'm. I'm curious. I have no idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's like, you know, I'm bike here. Eat like you go in a gay bar. What's it feel like to have one in your. I'm curious. I can't say that on the radio. No. Will a thousand dollars buy it? No. Well, two. No.

[Caller/Listener]

I'll drive the wheels off of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm just curious. I wonder what you take for it.

[Caller/Listener]

I don't know. I was thinking in the 4 to 5,000 range, and I don't know, I could be completely off base.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, you might not be completely off base. But we all just need to calm down, open a cocktail, and talk about this. Where is it located?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm in North Mississippi, just south of Memphis.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it all ghettoed out, or is it stock?

[Caller/Listener]

No, completely stock.

[John Clay Wolf]

The one white person in Mississippi that had a Buick, he found him old.

[Caller/Listener]

Lady, drove it back and forth to the liquor store on Saturdays.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, to the liquor store. Okay, so for. Does four grand buy it? I don't like might you send you the salvage yards business. I mean, you price your parts, don't you?

[Caller/Listener]

I do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So.

[Caller/Listener]

And the thing is, I just got this thing, and I've been driving it for a week, and I'm kind of falling in love with it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, what buys the damn car? This is not a show and tell channel. This is not the antique cable road show.

[Caller/Listener]

Got you. What buys it today?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Okay. Five grand. I'm gonna have Albert look it up. I'm gonna call. Have him call you. We might buy it. Thank you. Okay. My name is John Clay Wolf, and I buy ghetto sleds from Memphis, Tennessee, from old alcoholic ladies off of junkyard dealers that want to make. How much did you want to make off me?

[Michael Turley]

Like $4,500.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. What's the return on investment on that one?

[Michael Turley]

God.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm stupid enough, I just might do it. We'll be right back. This is it. I show them what true artistry looks like.

[John Clay Wolf]

These people that call in with these cars. I ran into a lady this week that has a K5 Blazer, and her husband had his pride and joy, and he would never sell it, but it was always for sale kind of deal.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he was asking 48,000 for it, which basically says it's not for sale because it's a looking at. It's probably $20,000 rig. And she tells me this whole story, how she's got to move and he's passed away and she needs all this stuff. And now, you know she's gonna sell it. And I was like, it's worth 20,000. I'm not taking a dime less than 38. I'm like, okay, but this is a great, you know, example. If you're gonna die with that overpriced truck. He did, and she might, too. I don't get it. I was just walking through Dale Earnhardt's bus during the break.

[J.D. Ryan]

Is that cool?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's cool. It's kind of like walking Elvis's airplane. Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Which you've done.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. It's. I made him an offer on it.

[J.D. Ryan]

On the bus.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I'll tell you more later.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

But it's. It's a. I'm not that into nascar. I enjoy it. I'm a fan, but I'm not a. I'm not a. It's not my football. And there's a lot of people that. It is.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, yes.

[Bobbo]

Is it. Is it a special bus? I mean, being the Earnhardt bus is. Does something distinguish it from other buses?

[John Clay Wolf]

What's painted in his scheme, but not with the number three on it and. No. No. Other than a lot of Chevy, you know. No, no. It's a newel. It's a coach. It's nice. No, it's just you. I mean, when you start looking at it, it makes sense, but it's not all earned hard out. Except for the color scheme, because Michael.

[Bobbo]

McDonald's RV is still for sale out there, and he signed the kitchen table, and I'm told there are doobies on board. It's like me. I'm just like, you know, if we're gonna.

[John Clay Wolf]

What is it worth? Because I can maybe use that as a basis to figure out what this is worth.

[Michael Turley]

JD's looking up Ryan, because JD did want to buy that bus.

[Bobbo]

At least a half.

[J.D. Ryan]

Dude, I looked at it. It was like 40 grand for. For a Airstream motor home. That's cheap.

[Michael Turley]

Wait, Mike. Michael.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, here he is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's see here.

[J.D. Ryan]

Bringing trailer up. Michael, it's on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bring a trailer.

[Bobbo]

Hey, everybody. If you wanna buy my bus, I'm gonna bring chicks. I got chicks, baby. Okay, guess who I'm gonna bring?

[John Clay Wolf]

Who?

[Bobbo]

Belinda Carlisle from the Go Go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

It sold. Oh, $85,000. Dude, that was. That's a steal for that bus.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why?

[J.D. Ryan]

Because it's an Airstream motorhome. They didn't make that very many of them.

[John Clay Wolf]

So did it bring, like, the same money as it would have without the Michael McDonald?

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't know that number because there's so few of them. I don't know what the comps would be.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you made the comment that's a steal.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a steal for a motorhome that's got a. That's got a History and being completely redone. I mean, it's got. Yeah, it's got. It's beautiful.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's worth less because Michael McDonald owned what? Hey, speaking of old people, we need to do backtracks. Jimi Hendrix. On this day in 1970, the Jimi Hendrix Experience performed their final show at Open Love and Peace in Germany. Two weeks later, he's dead from asphyxia. From God, Why can I not speak this morning?

[Bobbo]

Asphyxia.

[John Clay Wolf]

Asphyxia. Ass Fixia at his girlfriend's flat in London. We're gonna play these two Hendrix these two Voodoo Child songs backwards, and you guess what they are. Call in 800-800-723-4-8800, 800 radio. First person to guess correct wins the stuff. You can go to jcwshow.com click merch, pick out whatever you want. Cut one, cut two. Cut two is a layup for anybody who can even spell Jimmy. Cut one is tough. Cut one again.

[Bobbo]

Now, this cut to John. This cut to John. I. I listened to that entire song. I really went over this earlier this week, and I think I found the best backwards part of that song on cut to boys got the devil in him.

[J.D. Ryan]

He does.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cut one one more time, then we'll move on. You guys start calling in. The first person calls it in right. Is winner. I wouldn't know the name of that song. I don't know if I. I'm looking forward to hearing it played forward. Because I don't know if I even know that song. But I bet there's some geeks out there that do. Some gurus, some historians, some curators.

[Bobbo]

Isn't that funny? Every time we think nobody's gonna get it, somebody does.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did we play the audio clips on the spitting thing? Yes. Yes. Yeah, okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

He was busy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I remember the story. I just didn't realize if we played the clip. So. Ozzy's dead. His son Jack has gotten off some press recently in response to former Pink Floyd's bass player and vocalist, Roger Waters, the ultimate Euro prick. I mean, Roger is a prick. He's a great musician, but he's prick. So here's a little bit he always is. He's always quoted for prick stuff. Yeah. Who said some very unkind things about Ozzy in a recent interview. Here's a bit of what Roger Waters had to say about the Prince of Darkness.

[Michael Turley]

Cut one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ozzy Ozone, who just died, bless him, in his. Whatever that state that he was in.

[J.D. Ryan]

His whole life, we'll never know. Although he was all over the TV.

[John Clay Wolf]

For hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense. The music. I don't. I have no idea.

[J.D. Ryan]

I couldn't give a. I don't care about Black Sabbath.

[John Clay Wolf]

I never did. What?

[J.D. Ryan]

I have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do.

[John Clay Wolf]

I couldn't care less.

[J.D. Ryan]

Couldn't care less. Jack Osborne responded with a tweet that said, hey, Roger Waters, eff you. How pathetic and out of touch you have become. My father always thought you were a. See you next Tuesday. Thanks for proving him right. Yeah, a little soon. A little soon. That's forever too soon. Have you heard that about Ozzy?

[Bobbo]

Have you heard Pantera is playing again?

[John Clay Wolf]

No. No.

[Bobbo]

You know who's taking the dimebag Darrell role? The lead guitars? Zach Wilde.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Bobbo]

Who did his first Ozzy Osborne album, Arrest for the Wicked, in like, in what, 91 or 92?

[John Clay Wolf]

Something like.

[J.D. Ryan]

We should all go. We should go to the Pantera with Zach.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wild.

[J.D. Ryan]

Dude. We should go.

[Bobbo]

Damn right.

[J.D. Ryan]

All of us.

[John Clay Wolf]

All of us missed them.

[Michael Turley]

They were in Wednesday in Dallas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Damn. They were here. But they're.

[Bobbo]

But they're out there, man. It's seeable.

[John Clay Wolf]

I never got into that. We gotta get a break.

[Bobbo]

Panteris.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, it's.

[Bobbo]

It's difficult, John. It took me a long time to get in. I didn't like Metallica till 2007. Who.

[J.D. Ryan]

Knew that I'd be the only one in the room that's been into a Pantera concert?

[Bobbo]

How about that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Bass, we've got to go to break in a minute. A boss, are you there?

[Caller/Listener]

I don't want to close, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

The boss, are you there? A boss. A boss.

[Mike August]

A boss.

[John Clay Wolf]

Get him. Get him pulled back up In. In on the deal, John, in Kansas. A Pro Street. C10, will you. We just send it into them. Those things are hard, man. I mean, if it's a pro touring, that's one thing. If it's a drag truck, that's another.

[Caller/Listener]

It's a drag truck. It's a pro street truck.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it pro street or pro touring?

[Caller/Listener]

Pro street.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a drag truck then, right? Yeah, but It's. You want 45 grand for it? I. I can't make those work. I. I never. The. The drag cars, the race cars, the marketability on them is very, very tough. So what you need to do with that truck is sell it to people in that scene. It's like ghetto cars. Like, if you got low riders, you know, you see those Mexican rigs that are all leaned up and all the hydraulics, all the crazy stuff, those are actually finally starting to become a little more mainstream. But like ghetto rigs, you need to sell them in the ghetto. Pro street cars, you need to sell them at the drag strip, not to a radio station on Saturday morning. Okay, thank you. My name is John Cleveland by Cars and Radio for America's best car buyer, givemetheven.com here in Talladega, Alabama at the International Motorsports hall of Fame. We will be right back.

[John Clay Wolf]

Morning, everybody. I'm down here in Talladega, Alabama at the International Motorsports hall of Fame, right across from the track. Ricky Bobby is not here today. I wish he was. Talladega Nights was a great movie. We had a. We got here late yesterday afternoon. Had an event last night. Carolla was supposed to emcee it and he. His flight got delayed and I had to do it myself unprepared. Gotta love it. He's actually here somewhere. They're having a car show. They're having a whole event out here. He'll. I'm sure he'll be by in a minute. We did a deal a minute ago with Backtracks. Played two Hendrix songs backwards. There's people you. You call in and you guess and you win stuff. You go to jcwshow.com and pick out a shirt that you want if you win. Let's play the two cuts backwards again so you guys know what's going on. That just tuned. Are you thinking. Are you thinking Stu in West Palm. What you got?

[Caller/Listener]

Morning, John. Watchtower. And then.

[Mike August]

Are you experienced?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, but good guesses. And yes on one of them. Jim in Pennsylvania gonna go with Red.

[Caller/Listener]

House or track one. All along the Watchtower for track two.

[John Clay Wolf]

Track two is correct. Watchtower. Hell, it sounds the same Ford well, as it does backwards. But you did miss track one. Chris in Dallas, Texas. What's your guess?

[Caller/Listener]

Voodoo Child and All along the Watchtower?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, sir. One more. Crab. Good morning. In Southern California. Good morning, John.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey.

[Mike August]

All along the Watchtower course and Wind Cries Mary.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, Turley. Play cut one one more time. Robert in Nashville, Tennessee. What have you got?

[Caller/Listener]

Bold as Love and All on the watchtower.

[John Clay Wolf]

You got it.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, boy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Love, I'm gonna put you on hold pre cake and grab your info and go to jcwshow.com and look at our shirt offerings and just pick one and we'll send it to you. Hey, are you a car enthusiast, Robert? Yes, I am. Then I highly suggest you hop in the car and go. It's right outside of Mount Juliet, I believe. Where's the super speedway for the NASCAR track in Nashville? It's in Wilson county. It's about 45 minutes from where I'm at right now. Went yesterday. I stopped by there on my way to Talladega yesterday, and they're doing a show. They're called the Triple Crown of rotting. And next to sema, it's the best set of cars I've ever seen in my life.

[Caller/Listener]

Cool. I got an O2 Corvette.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll drive it out there. No, it's good. I mean, this is. This is worth the. That's a lot of walking. I know they rent scooters there, but it is. I suggest go over to pit row. You know where the score tower is? That's where a lot of action is. There's cars everywhere. But pit row cars were the ones that impressed me most. I mean, they were 200 grand to a million dollars. Resto mods. It was the best stuff. I mean, the. All the. All the big builders are out there. Chip Foose is out there signing autographs, blah, blah, blah. And it's definitely worth the trip. The tickets were like 25 bucks to get in, but it was awesome. I didn't want to leave.

[Caller/Listener]

That's reasonable.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. Thanks. And you are the winner. Pre k, please line 10. Robert, grab him. 800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. Everybody else can drop off. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4. It was bold as love. And watch tower. What do we got in the news, J.D. ryan?

[J.D. Ryan]

We've got some. We still have a Florida story we didn't get to Last weekend, a woman in Florida met up with a man to sell. Now, this should have been a red flag to sell used shoes. All right, who buys used tennis shoes from a woman? This guy did. But she says the minute she walked in the door, he kind of made it clear he was more than interested in more than just the shoes. He was a nut. He wanted to sniff her feet. She said no. She got out the door, he got mad and hit her with his SUV as he was driving away. Got number nine.

[Podbean Announcer]

We had met up because I was going to sell him my sneakers. He just wanted to sniff my feet and I didn't feel comfortable with that. I mean, you could have my sneakers all you want. I mean, I don't care. I'm not wearing them. You know, they're just stinky old sneakers. But people like weird things.

[J.D. Ryan]

Then things got downright scary.

[John Clay Wolf]

She says the suspect runs out of.

[Bobbo]

The room, she thinks with her sneakers.

[Podbean Announcer]

I ran after him and I met him down in the parking garage. He did a three point turn and, and actually hit me with a car, ran me over.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cops say after a review of the defendant's background, he's been the subject in.

[J.D. Ryan]

Other incidents involving the same modus operandi.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've covered a lot of bizarre cases in my day.

[Bobbo]

This is up there.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's.

[Podbean Announcer]

Yeah, it's pretty bizarre. It was extremely bizarre for me too.

[Bobbo]

Oh, you under arrest, honey.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm surprised she's okay. I mean, you get run over with a suv, you should run, be okay, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

A little bumped. Kind of bumped, you know, but seriously.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ran over her feet?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. Oh, it's kind of a fetish Saturday. Bob's pulled several stories here. Here's another one.

[Bobbo]

Did you notice that, too?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes. What's up with you?

[Bobbo]

It ain't me, it's the world.

[J.D. Ryan]

Speaking of misplaced fetish offenses, this is an odd story out of Dallas. A man's hitting up dozens of women asking for a very strange request. We have cut number 11. This is the news story from NBC 5. Cut 11.

[Podbean Announcer]

Dozens of women are using social media to warn others about a bizarre encounter across popular uptown locations. Alicia Barrera reports. We spoke to several women in uptown Dallas and they tell us that a man will approach them with a very uncomfortable request. And while what this man asks is not illegal, the women question what police get can do. I'm literally like on the verge of having a panic attack. Caitlyn posted on Tick Tock about a man following her while on her way to the gym. And then he asks to watch me.

[Bobbo]

Go to the bathroom.

[Podbean Announcer]

Those that say they have been harassed by possibly the same person are speaking up. Dozens of women now have come forward saying they've had the same experience. Many of the comments also encouraged Caitlyn to make. Make a police report. When I went into the police station, they said that it was, quote, creepy but not a crime.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's not illegal. It's just weird.

[Michael Turley]

You think it's a prank?

[J.D. Ryan]

Like, no, I think, hey, man, hey man, hey man.

[Michael Turley]

Run up to that girl and ask.

[John Clay Wolf]

Her if you can watch.

[J.D. Ryan]

But multiple women have had this experience and the guy's not with other people? He's by himself? No, I think it's creepy.

[John Clay Wolf]

I saw a guy one time outside of a deal sniffing a bunch of bicycles, seats.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, seriously? Let me guess, like, let me guess. New Orleans. By chance, is that where.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. California.

[J.D. Ryan]

California. Okay. That's the other place.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a hard name for people like that.

[Bobbo]

Nothing's sticking.

[J.D. Ryan]

Speaking of that, we have another one. We don't have time for it, but we'll do it when we get back. No, we don't have time for this one.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Show Announcer]

Broadcasting live from the Wolf radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf show. Thanks for making us number one. The John Clay Wolf show. America's number one Saturday morning show. Damn, it feels good to say that. Hit him up now. 800-800-radio-1800, 800 radio now. John Clay Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ben born. And we're back from the international Motorsports hall of Fame in Talladega, Alabama, home of the infamous Ricky Bobby. The racetrack is right across the street. Pretty cool place. I'm down here for personal reasons this weekend, but it's a great place to put on show. And they're having a big car show outside. Remember Nashville? Go to the triple crown of riding out at the super speedway. If you're in the Nashville area, I was there yesterday. It is worth the trip. I'm not big into those good guys. I mean, I'm not. It's just a lot, you know, if you've seen a couple of car shows, you've seen them all. But this had the nicest set of display cars that I've ever seen. These guys came from all over the country. Ken Digits there. Chip Foose is there. Da da da da is there. It's real. It's good. 800-800-radio. 800-800-7234 is our call in number. And J.D. you had a story that you were wanting to get to, but we couldn't hit it on the way out of time.

[J.D. Ryan]

Kind of a weird Saturday. Bob puts these together. So there's sort of a fetish Saturday going on here. First of all, we had the guy selling the girl selling used shoes. The guy just wanted to sniff her feet. Then we had the bathroom watching guy in Dallas. Now, remember the butt sniffer guy in California? He keeps getting arrested. He got arrested again just about a month later. Here he is back in jail. Here's one of his victims speaking out about the notorious Kees Crowder. This is the butt sniffer guy. Kin.

[Podbean Announcer]

I didn't realize he was so close to me until I heard like his jewelry or something. And he, he sounded extremely close to me. So that's when I turned around and noticed that he was right under me. So that's when I stepped back towards the bookcase and I asked him what he was doing and he said that he was tying his shoe, he was smelling me, and he smelled another person in the store. It's honestly infuriating because he's done this for 13 plus years. So they know what he's going to do when they release him again.

[Bobbo]

Holy God.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

What's wrong with this guy? Clarice Crowder was already on parole as a documented history of similar arrests for lewd conduct going all the way back to 2021. So we thought we'd offer you a little public service tip. Here's our top five list. Ways to prevent having your butt sniffed by a predator. Are you ready to do the top five list? We're going to bring in the JCW announcer. Ladies and gentlemen, bring him on the stage. Dink Birkendale. Dink. Come on in, buddy.

Top 5 Ways to Prevent having your butt sniffed by sexual predator.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Corolla.

[J.D. Ryan]

No comments.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's. Oh, what number is he, Braden? Six. And we bring him up. Six. Six.

[J.D. Ryan]

No comments.

[John Clay Wolf]

Six.

[Bobbo]

Let me ignored. Let me ignore what y' all are doing.

[Mike August]

Shout out to the devil, by the way, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, six, six, six. Right, right, right, right.

[Mike August]

We're in Alabama.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's nothing more awkward than sitting in the middle of a museum with good families walking around looking at the displays. And we do a butt sniffing.

[Mike August]

Bit uncomfortable, unfunny, uncalled for.

[John Clay Wolf]

Fun before.

[Mike August]

And I do comedy.

[J.D. Ryan]

Damn. Adam just called us unfunny.

[Mike August]

I'm pretty hot. My headphones. Yes, there you go. Up, up a little.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, there we go. All right. There we go. Well, it's good to see you.

[Mike August]

Good to see you.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm glad you could make it.

[Mike August]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

You didn't like our comedy?

[John Clay Wolf]

You owe me.

[Mike August]

Yeah, I did. Well, we had a little flight issue yesterday. It was difficult.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can tell you. When we got on the stage last night, the. The call in. If I had that to do all over again, I'd have just not done that. It just didn't. It wasn't resonating. I'll. I'll color back here. So we're here in Talladega, Alabama, at the International Motorsports hall of Fame. Adam Carolla's got the Newman collection. I've got one of the cars with him. We're bringing it down from Reno from the Reno museum. And they're building. They're doing a fundraiser to change one of the rooms to house the Newman collection. Last night, seated dinner, fundraiser. They're expecting Adam. I'm his co host. He doesn't show up. I'm sitting there on a stage in front of a bunch of people that are expecting him. I have no run sheet, I have no format, I have no information.

[Mike August]

Okay? But let me tell you something you don't realize, okay. In the back of that auditorium.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Mike August]

Was me and Mike August. We were there on time. We wanted to see what you could do without us. And we both sat in the back and we did a very slow nod as you took the stage. That was a test, my friend, and you passed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Mike August]

We've gotten in hours earlier. I've been at the museum. We've been staking out the right place to stand where you couldn't see us from stage. And we want to see how you do on your own with three in the deep end. This is Talladega, Right. This ain't a short track, you understand? This is speedway. You got me, I got you. We want to see what you could do on a superspeedway, not a short track like Bristol.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can tell you, the crowd wasn't.

[Mike August]

We knew it. That's why we.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's why you did it?

[Mike August]

Yeah, that's part of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I felt like I was in an ice cream social at the Baptist church.

[Mike August]

That's why we did it. We knew it was. Wasn't going to be easy for you. You know, you can get a kid swimming lessons, tell the kid's 14, or you can throw them in the deep end and he'll survive. And that's what we saw you do last night. We're both pretty proud of that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. Thank you. I got to a point where I was like, should I go for it or should I not? You have to read your crowd.

[Mike August]

I remember that moment.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I was like, you know what? I don't think no matter what I do, I'm probably going to not entertain them in the way that they're expecting to be entertained at this moment. So I stuck to the formatics. I didn't go out there, try to be a comedian. I didn't. There was a lot going on at the tables, in the room. Yeah, they were.

[Mike August]

You got to push through that distraction. And let me tell you, at a certain point.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Mike August]

When you're flailing out there, I took a step toward the stage like a mother. I'm intervening. And Mike grabbed my shoulder and he said, no, you let him. Let him flail. And he looked at me and I said, you know what? You're right, Mike.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just let him.

[Mike August]

Let him go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let him go.

[Mike August]

Let him go.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is a good test track.

[Mike August]

Yeah. My, my. You know, I don't want to sound gay, but my motherly instinct sort of kicked in and I wanted to go to the stage and grab the mic and save you, but Mike said no, and he was right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what's going on outside? I've been sitting in here since eight in the morning.

[Mike August]

What's going on outside is a lot of interesting cars in. Eclectic combination of cars out there. Old, new, a little. Little something for everybody. Also, there's stuff inside the pavilion as well. And again, in there's. There's an Mr. 2, a Toyota Mr. 2, that's, like, set up for the quarter mile over there. Yeah, I know that's.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that's even weird to your standards.

[Mike August]

I know it's got a fuel cell and stuff in it in the front and it's, it's an interesting piece. So I'm gonna, you know, take, take a few laps. There's a, there's a Chevrolet Corvair. That's a quarter mile car over there. I always like when they take a car that's not supposed to be in, in the realm it's in and then force it into that, that realm.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it rarely works, but sometimes it.

[Mike August]

Does in it and it's just always cool because, you know, no one, you, you can see Chevelles that are set up for the quarter mile all day long, but you don't see corvairs and Mr. 2s that are set up for the quarter mile.

[Bobbo]

I had to, I had to look.

[Mike August]

Up the Mr. 2. It didn't have any badging on it or anything. And I was like, I haven't seen one of these things in like 20 years. But they were kind of interesting. They're like mid engine Toyota, you know, they were kind of. Remember Pontiac had that mid engine. Fiero. Yeah. It was like, kind of like Pontiac. There was some point in the mid-90s.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or late-80s when meth meets money.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike August]

Everyone went, let's do, let's get a mid engine thing going, you know, and they, they're always sort of gutless and not quite right. I mean, you know, Acura had their mid engine and, and all that, but yeah, no, that's a good car. And those cars are expensive now, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nsx.

[Mike August]

Oh, they're going up fast.

[John Clay Wolf]

I got that Jag. Oh, you did? I have. It's coming in from Kansas City this weekend.

[Mike August]

I love that car.

[John Clay Wolf]

XJ220. Is that what it is?

[Mike August]

Yeah. Speaking of mid engine and V6.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it? But it's a 12, isn't it?

[Mike August]

Nope.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Mike August]

You should have known that before you bought it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just, I, I just look at the values and the marketability.

[Mike August]

It's a, It's a turbocharged V6. That's what held that car back. It was a supercar. So back in the day, that Jag was a supercar with a V6. And people didn't like the idea of paying top dollar for Jaguar in a supercar with a V6. And Jags were famous for straight sixes and V12s and they weren't really famous for V6.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the people buying them at the time or passing on them at the time probably knew that 30 years later Jag was going to come up with the most homophobic marketing campaign.

[Mike August]

Yeah, well, I don't know if it's homophobic. I think we're homophobic for making fun of their marketing campaign.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it didn't work out for him.

[Mike August]

It didn't. It didn't work out. But later on, I think what helped that car is the Ford GT. The newest iteration of the GT went with the turbocharged V6. It's their power plant. So it's still. It took some of the stigma off of V6 and a turbocharged V6 and a mid engine. Turbocharged.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is why I keep him around. He knows things.

[Mike August]

Yeah, that thing's 500 grand off the price of a Ford GT. Maybe 400. But the point is, is mid engine, V8 Turbo.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, sorry.

[Mike August]

V6 Turbo.

[John Clay Wolf]

We've got to go to break. My name is John Clay wolf. Adam Kroll is here. We're at the international motorsports hall of fame. I got to talk to you about Dale Earnhardt's bus in a minute. During this break. My name is John clay wolf. Be right back. Remember, it's brought to you by givemetheven.com givemetheven.com is America's best car buyer. If you'd like to sell your car, go to givemetheven.com and coast to coast, Gordon Boswell Flowers around the corner or across the country? Gordon boswell is also America's florist. Be right back.

[Show Announcer]

Now back to the John Clay wolf Show presented by givemethevit.com get them up right now. 1, 800, 800, radio. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

I completely forgot that. This is the lightning round where I bid the cars on the air. So Vinnie in Jupiter, Florida, 91 Camaro Z28. 100,000 miles bigger intake convertible wants 18 grand. We'll start with no. Are you there, Vinnie?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, I am.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Where are you getting your value from?

[Caller/Listener]

Just some, some, you know, like crater and stuff. Looking at other cars out there with similar mileage and stuff, you know, they all seem to be anywhere between 15 and 20, depending on the condition.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know why I keep selling them for seven then.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, that's a common myth with these cars, you know, and they are.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it's not a myth. I've sold a lot of them for seven. So is that the first year of that pointy nose front end?

[Caller/Listener]

No, 91 is towards the end of the year. Towards the end of the model run. It's 92 was the last year they made that particular generation the third gen.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I think I'm missing you pretty badly. So more Than half. So we probably should just part as friends.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes. Yeah, yeah, no problem, Vinny.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're my friend. Brian in Austin, Texas.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, guys.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. For a 2014 draft. 2014 backdraft Shelby Cobra replica. That's got a coyote in it. Convertible replicas want 62. Now you can buy those things. I've been selling like three year old ones for the 60s.

[Mike August]

What's a backdraft?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's a kit.

[Mike August]

Yeah, but versus how does it compare to some of the other kits?

[John Clay Wolf]

Brian, that's a question for you.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, got it. It's a little bit longer. I don't know the exact dimensions and just a little bit wider stance on it.

[Mike August]

And it. Fiberglass body.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, sir.

[Mike August]

The coyote engine.

[John Clay Wolf]

The coyote is the good part. But they didn't make a coyote. Did they have a coyote in 14? They had a different version of it. Have you looked online and looked up, like gone to bring a trailer and looked at the comps on these cars?

[Caller/Listener]

I have, and it's kind of all over the map. You know, the 427s go for a lot more, right? So a little bit.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, go to givemetheven.com load it up. We will send you an offer letter. Travis, real quick, Forrest Gump is on the phone with us. He's been walking the Appalachian Trail, Adam, for two months now. Is that right?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, it's June 21st. My trail name is Sir Minus.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And he's literally. He calls on the radio show every Saturday and he's. He's walking across the country. Nice solo. Did you get any tail this week? Did you, did you get drunk? Did you. Do you have any stories from the road?

[Caller/Listener]

Right now I'm hiking here with bourbon. He took me into Cracker Barrel yesterday, found me on the trail, and he's hiking with me for a couple days now. And I did get him drunk. I had bourbon.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Oh, good, good. Have you not had the Forrest Gump effect where more people have joined? Are you. Are you walking for a reason?

[Caller/Listener]

No, no, no reason, except to just. The hike of the Appalachian Trail is like a great challenge. And it's only so many people can try it per year, and only so many people are successful. So, you know, it's something cool to get out here and do.

[Mike August]

I would suggest attempting the Donner Pass in December. That's a challenge. You want a challenge, you wait till January and then you try to do the Donner Pass.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bring bourbon with you.

[Mike August]

Bring bourbon. Bring a Saint Bernard. Bring a Saint Bernard. One of those barrels filled with Bourbon on its neck.

[John Clay Wolf]

Travis, how many miles is it?

[Caller/Listener]

How many miles is the Appalachian?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. How long is your journey?

[Caller/Listener]

2,200. I'm almost halfway there in, like, about.

[John Clay Wolf]

A week or so.

[Mike August]

But that's the entire country. That's not the Appalachian Trail, is it?

[Caller/Listener]

No, no. The Appalachian trail itself is 2002 miles.

[Mike August]

Okay. Because I've known guys who've walked maybe I guess a section of it. They said I hiked the Appalachian Trail, but they don't mean the entire 22. I didn't know it was that long.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. 14 states. I'm in Pennsylvania right now, and it is. The nickname for Pennsylvania is Rock Sylvania. And I've done the most of the worst part, but it is rough. I had to get a new pair of shoes just to do the state.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was my next question about the shoes. So what's the beginning point? What's the end?

[Caller/Listener]

So most people go north, and they start at Springer Mountain in Georgia, and then they end at Mount Katahdin in Maine. But I'm going south because I want to do it the hard way, and I also wanted to enjoy the fall.

[Mike August]

You know what else is 22 miles, 2200 miles? My cars in Reno from here, that's the same distance. So maybe you could push one if you want the ultimate challenge.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, we're sitting here. We've got to go to break. We'll be back after this musical interlude. Interlude. My name is John Clay Wolf by cars and radio for America's best car buyer. Givemetheven.com and Travis, keep calling in and catching up with us. This is an interesting thing. I really think that you should have more people join. Do you have a Facebook page that. That is our Instagram following this? Yeah, yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

You've got my Instagram on yalls page right now. Local dairy underscore unspector.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think in order for you to get more followers, you should change that headline. Name something Appalachian trail Walker. Something that we can all remember. Yeah. And we can start movement then. Thank you. My name is John Clay Wolf. Be right back.

[Show Announcer]

This is the John Clay Wolf show. Check out the GMTV Garage YouTube channel, complete with live video [e-mail] yo, we're back to the John Clay Wolf show. America's largest.

[Podbean Announcer]

It's so big.

[Show Announcer]

The weekend morning show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Radio. Good morning America. We are on the air with you coast to coast. Got Adam Carolla sitting here with me in this next segment. Then he's got to go outside and judge some cars. We're at the International Motorsports hall of Fame. We're actually out here doing a fundraiser of sorts to move the Paul Newman race collection from Reno to Talladega Museum. He and I were just discussing the transport logistics on that during the break. Damn. I forgot what I just say.

[Mike August]

Well, I'll tell you what my mom used to tell me, which I always hated because she was such a bitch. It must not have been very important.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think your mom was right on that one.

[Mike August]

I don't know. I feel like I forgot a lot of important stuff. You know, anniversaries, people's birthdays.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you a NASCAR fan?

[Mike August]

I'm an all anybody racing fan, but I'm kind of a road course fan. And to me, that going in the circle part is not terribly impressive. But when they head out once a year to Sonoma and do the road course there and Sonoma's real technical and you see the guys kind of mowing through the gears, that's when it gets interesting to me to see the NASCAR guys out on that road course.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you a football fan? I think it's time to do that. Turley, what you got?

[Michael Turley]

Oh, you want to do the picks right now?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, all right. So last week we.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hold on.

[Michael Turley]

There's an echo coming back, so I got to turn you down a little bit. Okay. Last week we ended up tied. John. Two two with our bets with 25 bucks a game. I thought we were gonna. I was gonna end up sweeping you, but it turned out a little bit worse for me at the back half. Notre Dame, Miami game was not good for me at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, so.

[Michael Turley]

Well, it was. I was not. I was surprised. I mean, that Bama Florida State game, how did that go for you?

[John Clay Wolf]

Did not go well for me. I was wrong. I've been corrected.

[Mike August]

You picked the right team, though, for.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where you are.

[Michael Turley]

This week.

[John Clay Wolf]

About where your listeners are picking this week.

[Michael Turley]

There's not much college football that's worth anything really to watch.

[John Clay Wolf]

Night game Baylor. Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, if you're an SMU or Baylor fan, that's about it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm an SMU fan. Thank you. Go ahead. They did go to the second round.

[Michael Turley]

Of playoffs last year at 6:30 tonight, Michigan number 15. At number 18, Oklahoma. The spread, Oklahoma is favored by four and a half. This actually jumped a point from three and a half. Quarterback John Maytier from Little Elm, Texas. He's now on the Heisman watch from ou, so he's, you know, somebody to watch out for over there. And can Oklahoma stop Michigan in their course Sign stealing. John.

[John Clay Wolf]

I kept going first last week. I'm gonna let you go first. First this week on this one.

[Michael Turley]

I think Oklahoma wins, but they're going to fail to cover.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so you're taking. What is your official bet?

[Michael Turley]

So Oklahoma wins, but fails to cover the spread. The spreads, four and a half.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I'm definitely going Michigan and I'll double down on that if you'd like to up the ante.

[Michael Turley]

No, no, we know when there's no double down. We're just straight up here. John, I like how you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Adam Carolla. Do you. Do you have any.

[Mike August]

You know, if it's going to be a close game and it's over a field goal, then I'll, I'll take the dog. Because you figure it'll be close and even if they lose by a field goal, they're still not going to. You'll still be in the points, you know, so I, I'll take Michigan on this. I don't know that much about college football.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oklahoma is a pretty strong environment, but so is Michigan. But it is at Oklahoma. So that's the, the only problem with this game is it's at Oklahoma. All right, what's the next.

[Michael Turley]

All right, now, time for NFL.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. Damn, that hurt.

[Michael Turley]

There's some pretty good games this week. Of course, we saw a couple already with Dallas and Casey's games. CBS Steelers at the Jets. Aaron Rodgers going back to where he had a cup of tea over at the. In New York. The Steelers are favored by two and a half. They're a road favorites. John.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know enough to say. Do you know anything?

[Bobbo]

No.

[Mike August]

Nobody knows this game.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right?

[Mike August]

I have no idea why you picked this game.

[Michael Turley]

Because everybody's gonna be watching Aaron Rodgers going back to New York.

[Mike August]

Yeah, but nobody knows how the jets are or how the Steelers are. But I'd go with the Steelers in this game.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we're both on the same side. So. Turley, you're, you're. You've got to go the other side. Well, you want to move the line.

[Michael Turley]

Well, it's two and a half, John. The spread. I believe that the Steelers are going to win, but I think it's going to be more than two and a half. So I'm going to bump that line up to what, four and a half?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I'm still taking that, too.

[Michael Turley]

All right, so then you get it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You move the line. You've got to hang it. Yep.

[Michael Turley]

Next 330, the Lions versus Packers. Micah Parsons makes his debut. This is on Fox. John.

[John Clay Wolf]

I Mean, I'm.

[Michael Turley]

The spread is one and a half. Green Bay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was gonna say the Lions. The Lions should be favored. But it's at Lambeau.

[Michael Turley]

Yes, it's at Lambeau.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm going with the lines.

[Mike August]

I'd go with Green Bay. It's a pick em game, but it's at Green Bay. The Lions are good and, you know, golf is accurate and all that kind of stuff, but I mean, Green Bay surging, man. They get a bit better every year. The quarterback's great. They got Michael Parsons. Now it's a pick them type game, but they're at home, so I'd go greenback.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it golf that has the girlfriend with the amazing wreck?

[Michael Turley]

I'm sure he has one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. No, this is a different one. Who's the quarterback for the Lions?

[Mike August]

That's it.

[Michael Turley]

It's golf. Yeah, but I don't know about.

[John Clay Wolf]

I need to figure this out. Is that.

[Michael Turley]

Is that how you're gonna bet whoever's got the best looking girl?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. That's not her. That's not her. Hey, I did see your. I watched 20 minutes of your girlfriend stand up at the Comedy Factory Country. Oh, yeah, she's good.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, she's really good.

[Mike August]

I know. She's in Vegas right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's on. That chick is funny as hell.

[Mike August]

Oh, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll tell her. She'll love it. I was really impressed.

[Michael Turley]

Does she have a big rack?

[Mike August]

Her name is Crystal.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's not a big rack, but it's just fine. But, but she's very pretty. Extremely beautiful lady. Little Iranian maybe. And funny. Like, who's a better female comedian? She's gonna pop. You think so? Yeah. I don't tell her.

[Mike August]

Yeah, she's good. She's real funny. Stand up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Next game, I'm.

[Michael Turley]

By the way, I'm taking the lines to win that one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so.

[Michael Turley]

Well, you're saying that the packers are going to win, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I. I did not.

[Mike August]

Adam, I said the Packer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Michael Turley]

What are you saying?

[John Clay Wolf]

John, my next door neighbor at the ranch, his dad, Dan Campbell, is Dave Campbell. Dave Campbell. Anyway, Campbell's dad is my neighbor. I'm always gonna go with him.

[Mike August]

Oh, okay. Yeah, he's a good coach.

[John Clay Wolf]

And. And he. He played. Campbell. Played high school football in our town. All right. I mean, I go, right?

[Michael Turley]

So we gotta move the line.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where is the line? You said it's two.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah. Green Bay's favorable. One and a half. So if we're both picking the lines, then we can move the line the opposite way. Do you think The Lions will win by four, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, but I didn't think they'll do. I mean, the three and. Well, three and a half would be four to bump it up.

[Michael Turley]

One, Just two and a half. You think that their Green Bay is. Lions are gonna win.

[John Clay Wolf]

Close. I think it's gonna be the game of the week to watch.

[Michael Turley]

I'll let you take that because I think the lines are gonna win bigger. Bigger than that. 7:30, NBC. The Ravens versus the Bills. Another close pick. I mean, this. These games are going to be really good. Ravens are favored on the road. Point and a half. Josh Allen, of course, the mvp. Can he repeat?

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you see where his girlfriend said he was a cuck?

[Mike August]

His ex girlfriend, Josh Allen.

[John Clay Wolf]

I believe I'm saying that right. Did you see that, Turley?

[Michael Turley]

No, I did not see this. I love how this is how you're picking your winners here.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just think about the whole global.

[Mike August]

All the inputs you have to.

[John Clay Wolf]

All the greats do all the input.

[Mike August]

That's what Jimmy the Greek would do. Well, let's talk about cup size before we start breaking down these lines. What's the girlfriend's cup size? And that's why they call him Jimmy the Greek. So, yeah, all the greats did it. All the great prognosticators did it. He's married to Haley, what's her name, the actress. Now he just got. He just got married, too. So, you know.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, it's hard to.

[Mike August]

Hard to bet against the Ravens, but it's hard to get bet against the Bills at home. I take the Bills at home and whatever, two points or point and a half or whatever it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mike, I'm taking over that.

[Michael Turley]

So we're all going the Bills here. All right, we got to move the line now. All right. Do the Bills win by four?

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[Michael Turley]

All right, you could take that. And that's your picks there. So with some help with Adam and the girlfriends of quarterbacks or wives of.

[John Clay Wolf]

Quarterbacks, you got to look at it all. What they're. What, they're finished. And the guy, if he came out as a cuck accidentally, probably not true. Stop saying there was a picture of a chair in a hotel room corner saying that. That's where he sits. Is that going to impact his play? Yes. That's new pressure. That wasn't there 48 hours ago.

[Mike August]

You got to check the wind. You got to check the ambient temperature. You got to check the cuck factor. There's cup size. I mean, it all factors in. We're talking about tents here, people.

[Bobbo]

We're Here at a table in front of nice people talking about cucks, butt sniffers and big racks.

[Mike August]

Listen, we're here in Talladega and what they say, if it ain't rubbing, it ain't cooking.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we will be back in a moment. Adam, thank you for coming by. I know you've got to go judge these cars outside. My name is John Claywolf. Buy cars of the radio for America's best car buyer. Give me the vin.com.

[J.D. Ryan]

Outside of the patio smoking cigarettes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I thought he quit smoking.

[J.D. Ryan]

Nope. Oh, I'm sorry.

[Michael Turley]

Why are you telling on him?

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm sorry. I didn't know it was a secret.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hey, Bob's back from just walking outside and jogging. Hey, Bob.

[John Clay Wolf]

Doing some push ups?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, I was doing push ups.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bob, what are you smoking these days?

[Bobbo]

A lot less of anything. But still the nicotine.

[John Clay Wolf]

Still five cigarettes. When you buy cigarettes, what do you purchase?

[Bobbo]

I like the Marlboro Gold Stripe, black hundreds.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, if you were to buy some, which you're not.

[Bobbo]

Jeez, what's this?

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't know. You're the one that let's get the mail from. He gave me the big eye, like you want.

[Bobbo]

You want to fight?

[J.D. Ryan]

I was.

[Caller/Listener]

No.

[J.D. Ryan]

You're feisty today. You're feisty. You threatened to throw Adam Corolla down.

[Bobbo]

I did not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, Johnny Cash, you there?

[J.D. Ryan]

Johnny Cash.

[Bobbo]

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash. This week's. This week's.

[Michael Turley]

Sound like John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like a big old puppy.

[Michael Turley]

Gotta find Johnny again. That was some other dog there.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's been threatening to do the dog dog all day. They just came.

[Bobbo]

I'm just a bear looking for some cocaine. Get out of here, bear.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay. Hey, Johnny Cash.

[Bobbo]

Johnny Cash here, John. This week's bell from jail. Entry reads, Hello, John Clay. My name's Kurt Turner reporting from the Federal Correctional Complex in Butner, North Carolina. I've been a career criminal all my life, which means this isn't my first trip to the pen. This is one nice place, better than I've been to. And I know I'll be out sooner or later. It is what it is. You know, you make your choices and you play the game. Sometimes you do lose and then you do the time. You can win a lot too, though. I've owned all sorts of hot rides in my life. Camaros, Raptors, Hellcats and Harleys. You name it. Hey, wanted to know, do you buy cars that are a little sketchy? I got this guy that owes me a favor. And I'm not saying these ones are necessarily stolen right off the street or anything. They just might not have all the paperwork you'd usually need. I could definitely use some money on my books. And if you could buy a few of them from my buddy, I think that could pay off our debt big time. You do seem like an honest guy, John. You're all about your business.

[John Clay Wolf]

Business.

[Bobbo]

And I can appreciate that. It is hard to find people like that. So when you do, you got to keep them around, right? I'd like to think I'm honest, but I guess it's a different law when you're involved in what I have been all my life. So if you ever need some dirt done, give me a holler, man. Dirty deeds done dirt cheap, right? Maybe we could work something out Anyway, till then, cheers. Your friend. Kurt Turner, FCC C. Butner, NC. Partner, if you've got mail from jail.

[Mike August]

Just send it on down the line.

[Bobbo]

To us here at P.O. box 471517. That is in Fort Worth, Texas. The zip is 76147.

[John Clay Wolf]

Johnny, I have a whole stack of mail from jail in the back of my car I need to give to you.

[Bobbo]

Oh, boy, I enjoy that. If somebody said they. They heard me on the radio the other day. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's pretty cop running old Ronald Reagan.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, nice.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, he's.

[John Clay Wolf]

You ever met him? Nope.

[Bobbo]

He's a very soft spoken fellow. He's wearing a hat, riding a horse when I seen him. Well, it was outstanding. That's exactly what he says.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, well, Nancy.

[Bobbo]

Well, you're Johnny Cash. And I said, well, thank you, Ronnie. You know, me and June always love that monkey movie you did. He was really good in that, you know, back in. I'm in the 50s, you know, 40s and 50s. That was. That was early sound pictures, right? Really good in that. He looked right, that money. He said, well, I guess it's bedtime. Bonzo.

[J.D. Ryan]

Bonzo.

[Bobbo]

Yep. Hell of a man, Johnny.

[John Clay Wolf]

You did an interview one time and I'll never forget, you made a comment. It said, smart men go broke three ways. The three L's, ladies. Liquor and leverage.

[Bobbo]

And leverage. That's right. That's absolutely right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

If you don't believe me. Talk to Hank Williams Jr. About leverage.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did he get broke, get in too much debt?

[Bobbo]

Yeah, he broke and got broke 17 different ways on his way down that mountain that time. And not to mention the women and the booze. He does like his. Does like his whiskey.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800-Radio is the live call in number. Like I said earlier, we're here at the International Motorsports hall of Fame in Talladega, Alabama doing a fundraiser to bring the Newman car collection to Talladega. This awesome museum. I met the senator. I forgot his name that put this together in 82. He's still the chairman of the board and I noticed he has a big part of the highway named after him. And J.D. you love this. What we were driving here this morning. They have a massive state sign saying exit here for the International Motorsports hall of Fame.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was like, that's that senator. I mean most people wouldn't get a sign that big. You don't follow my what I'm saying. Okay. So if you have a museum off of an interstate to get a sign that large, that's a state issued sign.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

You might have had some pull.

[J.D. Ryan]

I had a little pull.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. We're right across the street from the Talladega racetrack. Remember Nashville? Go to triple crown of rotting at the super speedway today. I was there yesterday. It is absolutely incredible. I will go back next year and I think they're going to do two other. It's a brand new event. This is the third year and it was a humdinger. Really excited. JD do you have anything in the news for us?

[J.D. Ryan]

I do, but everything takes longer than 45 seconds and that's all we have until we come back. We have great stuff when we come back. We actually have a British couple. They started swinging. You like this story, John. And they've come up with a rule that basically keeps ugly people out of their swinging groups.

[John Clay Wolf]

So they don't want any shreking.

[J.D. Ryan]

They don't want any. Any shreking. No shrieking will be had here. But they're a British couple and they've started their own swingers group. So it'll be kind of fun. That's on the other side.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll wait around for that.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, you should.

[John Clay Wolf]

Absolutely. And more. We'll be right back after this. GiveMeTheven.com is who sponsors this show. It's brought to you by America's best car buyer.

Nice is not the word I was noted looking for. It's a nice environment. The buildings. I mean, it's just. The south is. It's not well maintained.

[Young Listener]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You live here and you see it every day. Right. So you don't see anything different.

[Young Listener]

I understand.

[John Clay Wolf]

But everything's built in the 60s, the. The 70s and the 80s and, and just there's just not a lot dated. Little, little, little sass. But I mean from Memphis to Baton Rouge and all the Way over. It's, it's, it's very dated.

[Young Listener]

Yeah. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I mean, but I like it.

[Young Listener]

You're talking smack. You own Walnut Springs.

[John Clay Wolf]

I, I, I understand.

[Young Listener]

I've seen some video footage of Walnut Springs. But it has some charm.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, we're trying to push.

[Young Listener]

It's old enough to have the charm it does.

[John Clay Wolf]

All of this has charm. I'm not talking about. I'm so. I love the Deep South.

[Young Listener]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

But it just reminds me when I've been here because I used to go to Louisiana every single week buying cars. Yeah. And so I spent a ton of time in Louisiana, and they all just kind of look the same. Me from Birmingham to, like I said, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Memphis, Little Rock, all the way over until the panhandle of Florida. It all kind of feels the same.

[Young Listener]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Young Listener]

Have you ever been to the.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was trying to find a sports bar last night.

[Young Listener]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

To watch the cheap, bright. Good luck. I was trying to find a place with a television and a beer.

[Young Listener]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good luck.

[Young Listener]

Well, have you ever been to Birmingham? Birmingham's.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Young Listener]

And that's where. That's where I came from. It's only about an hour away.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I, I, I went to Pell City, found a Buffalo Wild Wings. So that was doable. But there was. I was calling all these places. Hey, y' all got the game on. What game? Well, most of the people couldn't speak English. There were a lot of Mexicans, and. And I couldn't find a place with a beer and a television, and that's. I'm not used to that.

[Young Listener]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Young Listener]

That's why it's rural down here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Young Listener]

I'm used to it, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Have you ever been to the big city, whatever that is?

[Young Listener]

Well, I mean, I've been to New York.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So was it shocking for you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

[Young Listener]

I was ready to get back to Alabama.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you ever been to Dallas?

[Young Listener]

No, never.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I really.

[Young Listener]

Next year, I want to. To come to the. The bike festival you had.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Young Listener]

In Walnut Springs. I would love to do that next spring.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're putting it together right now.

[Young Listener]

I need a bigger bike. I want a 400, so I don't want to drive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you gonna ride it all the way? No. Heck no. I met some guys. There were some guys that. I was at the Rattlesnake one day, and there was some. There was a group that came up their show. Listeners that came up from Mississippi on their backs. I'm like, geez, that's a long ways.

[Young Listener]

I think it's about 10 hours from.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you a NASCAR fan? Have you ever been to Talladega? The race? Yeah, I actually have.

[Young Listener]

My father, he owns a Chevron gas station and through the Hunt Brothers sweepstakes. When I was about 10, we won some kind of deal to come out and watch an Xfinity race, and we got to sit up in the call box. It was pretty neat.

[John Clay Wolf]

But, yeah, I don't know.

[Young Listener]

I like Talladega nights.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do, too. All right, man. Thanks for coming on. Absolutely. Good to see you.

[Young Listener]

Pleasure to be on the show. Shout out to all you guys back in Walnut Springs, man. Love the show.

[J.D. Ryan]

Thanks.

[Bobbo]

Ten Forefront.

[John Clay Wolf]

Heck yeah.

[Young Listener]

Love you, baba.

[Bobbo]

Right back at you, baby.

[Michael Turley]

Adam poo bit.

[Bobbo]

What?

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, Adam. Adam poo pooed your bit. So that. That made your day right there, didn't it?

[Bobbo]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike August]

I love that.

[John Clay Wolf]

How did he poo poo your bit? I love.

[Bobbo]

I love casual criticism.

[J.D. Ryan]

We were doing the butts nothing bit. Butt's nothing bit.

[John Clay Wolf]

What you got to understand is when you're in a museum and there's. And you've got the PA going on, there's. There's people walking around.

[J.D. Ryan]

But he walked up and said, it's not funny and it's too much. And that hurt Bob's feelings, but. Because Bob wrote that.

[Bobbo]

And John. John said, yeah, that was terrible.

[J.D. Ryan]

That was terrible.

[Bobbo]

I hate you, Bob.

[John Clay Wolf]

I didn't say. Nobody said that. You're just paranoid schizophrenic.

[Bobbo]

Don't ever come over here again.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, what I said is, you guys wouldn't believe how awkward it is to be playing that over the speakers in front of all these people. And I'm sitting here in the morning.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And. And they're looking at me like hell.

[J.D. Ryan]

They're all premium proper. Hey, they're still in Alabama.

[Bobbo]

They're like PR boy again. I seen him last night at the banquet.

[J.D. Ryan]

He wasn't funny then.

[Bobbo]

He's on the stage here. What they talking about? Butts, fur.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, they going to quit tearing down our Confederate statues. He's still talking.

[Bobbo]

Looks how he's talking.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, J.D. real quick. The. The swingers in the profile.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay. So if you're going to. To do the swinging lifestyle, the problem is sometimes there's some folks that aren't necessarily attractive with this British couple. Started their own swinging club. They have one rule. No uggies, no ugly people. Tanya and Ashley. Ashley's the guy. Maram, initially, his name's Ashley. Yes, they're British. You can get away with that. Yeah, they approached. They started out Just approaching women for her. Tanya. But after a while, they faced went full bore. They decided to go into the swinging lifestyle. But they found ugly people. So they said, we'll do our own events. But one thing we have to do, if you're ugly, you don't get an invite. Chances are you probably won't get invited at all to any of their things. If you're not to their standards. In fact, they might find you too attractive. That's another option. Cat number seven here.

[Podbean Announcer]

Even though we've been in the Lifestyle for almost five years, I still get nervous when we're with a new couple for the first time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Time.

[Podbean Announcer]

It's funny because they're the type that I get really nervous in front of because they're both like big fitness buffs.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, they're all tanned, looking great. So by the way, they think the wife's attractive and maybe the husband is not so much. That's a different angle. And newbies might get swallowed up in that. Cut number 7.2.

[John Clay Wolf]

So is this lifestyle something you guys are really considering? In all honesty, I'm not trying to.

[Mike August]

Offend you or anything, but I kind.

[John Clay Wolf]

Of feel like maybe she's more into it or considering the lifestyle.

[Mike August]

I would certainly warn you of that lifestyle.

[John Clay Wolf]

You guys seem to be a strong couple now.

[Mike August]

You start dancing in that ring, I feel like you wouldn't even be a couple at all. It's kind of like a plane in.

[John Clay Wolf]

The sky on fire. Eventually it's going to go down, you know. Wow.

[Bobbo]

We're going to take your wife, man.

[J.D. Ryan]

Your wife, she's hot.

[Bobbo]

Do you hear that? A little bit of that.

[J.D. Ryan]

I've never heard. I never heard that.

[Bobbo]

Of course, because she's more into there than you are.

[J.D. Ryan]

She's more into this. Do you like the way they put that? She's more into it. In other words, we like her. We don't necessarily like you. You bad tubular.

[Bobbo]

You know, a guy a long time ago used the. The analogy and. And now it makes sense. Like, boy, man's about as worthless as an ugly swinger.

[John Clay Wolf]

Never heard that one.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, no purpose there.

[Michael Turley]

J.D. you didn't have that problem.

[J.D. Ryan]

Never anything. Those issues, of course, because you're just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does your wife give you grief over the fact that you were in the Lifestyle with your ex girlfriend?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, we don't discuss it. We know it's a radio bit. It's the thing we did for the radio. So we don't bring that up.

[John Clay Wolf]

[John Clay Wolf]

That kid a minute ago was talking about Walnut Springs? Did I tell you about the. The Facebook thing? When we announced at the Rattlesnake, we said we're changing managers. So there's the people that love the old manager. Sure. There's haters and there's lovers.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they're clashing on Facebook in the comments section.

[J.D. Ryan]

Saw that.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it's very interesting. Entertaining to say the least.

[Bobbo]

Are they clashing one?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah. They've been clashing for two weeks. I'm never step foot back. That place I would piss on if it's on fire.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, no, I've seen that, but I haven't seen them like, you know, talking to each other. Weird.

[John Clay Wolf]

But it's. Oh, yeah. Then they come back. So one guy's like. One guy says that, right. And I forgot his name. Bob Smith. I'm making up a name and then somebody else comes in. Bob Smith. You son of a. We don't want your pipe any in here anyway. Wow.

[J.D. Ryan]

You're not welcome.

[John Clay Wolf]

Peacock's back. You know, you're just an idiot. You don't I'm. I don't want to be around people like you either. Then the other guy comes in and he posts his pedophile record from Bob Smith.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, guess what, Bob? We don't want you in here anyway. You and your pedo ass.

[Bobbo]

I did see that.

[J.D. Ryan]

I did see that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's a one under the belt. I think that guy won the argument.

[Bobbo]

No doubt. Yeah, no doubt.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. That was a Dale Earnhardt turn into the wall.

[Bobbo]

It just feels like. Like a kind of a heaviness has been lifted off the joint, though, hanging around the last two weeks. To me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, for sure.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, good.

[Bobbo]

Yeah. The employees are all. All seem immensely happier. They, you know, I mean, it's still. It's still running smoothly. I, you know, Paul's doing what he can. It's. It's great establishment.

[John Clay Wolf]

We brought back some of the old bartenders that left because they were arguing with her. Yeah. And, you know, it's just hard to make a change like that. The reason I didn't do it before is because I knew we were gonna have to go through this. I knew it was gonna be a pain in the ass and there'd be a lot of emotions and a lot of intra fighting, and I was just. I was like, just make it, make money. Make it, just break even. If you can make it break even, I'll leave it alone. And it just kept losing. And I'm like, I'm not doing this to lose money. I don't do businesses to lose money. This is not a venture capital experiment. We're gonna go in and lose a bunch of money, and then we're gonna go public and make it all back on the New York Stock Exchange. That is not happening with the Rattlesnake Roadhouse in Walnut Springs. This is. We, we don't make. Need to make a lot of money. I'm even okay with losing just a little bit, but I'm not gonna lose a lot for a long time.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[Bobbo]

No, no, you shouldn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that's. That's the reason. It wasn't. It wasn't. I mean, forget if people like or don't like each other. Forget it. If she and I got along or didn't get along, it doesn't matter. I was like, hey, I'll just stay out of here. Just make it break even. Make it, make a little bit of money. You've got it all figured out. You don't want to take any of my suggestions, that's fine. You're the master I'm dumb. You do it. But I got to keep writing the checks when it's losing. Like eh, this is getting old very quick. Very quick. Yeah. And that was. Was nothing more than that.

[Michael Turley]

So you're do the place and stuff. What's the plans?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't have a plan, thanks. Sterling, do you have a plan? I'm looking. I'm open to plans. I do have about three different ideas of the plan and there will be a plan, but this happened so suddenly that there wasn't time to put in a plan.

[Bobbo]

Do you watch the bar rescue show, John?

[John Clay Wolf]

The plan was I was just gonna shut it down and figure out what the plan was and start over into a complete reboot. But nobody wanted to shut it down. And then people like, if you'll just open it back up under new management, I think you'll be surprised. And so far, you know, we're fine. So yeah, we're going to make it nicer. I'll tell you, the first step of the plan is put up some damn TVs so we can watch some more football. Great. It's not over the corners of this big place. Yes. And I mean, right? I'm going to be there tonight. I want to. I want to sit at the bar and I want to look up and watch tv. I want to watch football. Have you heard of Bar Risk? That's the only plan I've got.

[Bobbo]

There's a guy does a show where he goes to bars that are failing and shows them how to. How to do it right. Great show, by the way.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is.

[Bobbo]

And I did that for a year.

[John Clay Wolf]

I did that for about 18 months with the old management and they did not take the advice. And when we booked these big acts and had big nights and had all the success, I was like, okay, now you go do this. Nope.

[J.D. Ryan]

So you've seen how it works. Just do that again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. Because you don't like me booking these bands. You don't want me involved because you're the boss. Okay, you go do it. But when you run out of money, you're leaving. Hey.

[Bobbo]

Was it like that? Was there conflict over. Over acts and booking and stuff?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh my God, dude, I got my. I had my ass chewed out like that in 10 years when I booked Cody Canada and Jason Boland and. And Pat Green and what's the other one? Stoney LaRue. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I mean, I just got yelled at about overstepping my bounds. I own the majority percentage of the business and pay a salary for the manager to run It. But I'd overstep my bounds. I'm like, I'm trying to show you this can get done. So. Okay, so now you go do. Didn't happen. So the plan is, is to get it back to that and decorate the damn thing nicely and change some of the seating, get some tv. It's a cool place, but it could be great.

[J.D. Ryan]

A great place.

[John Clay Wolf]

I like the bones, I like the setup. I like the town. The cantina that Felipe and I did across the street really opened my eyes because that thing's booming. It's actually making a profit. Imagine that. And it's booming. And I'm like, you know, I've got two businesses here. One of them's doing real well and one of them's not. What's the problem? Well, let's, let's put it on paper and it's very evident. So had time to make a change. Okay, what's next?

[J.D. Ryan]

Probably time to take a break.

[John Clay Wolf]

Time. Take a break.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah. White, black, Latino, other. We've got you also.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't think I can do that here.

[Michael Turley]

You can't do that in Talladega, Alabama.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we can do it here. Okay, we'll come back for that. My name is John Clay Wolf by cars and radio for America's best car buyer. Give me the vin.com. corolla's just coming back. He likes to do white, black, Latino or other.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, we also have Jeopardy.

[John Clay Wolf]

I stole it from him.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's great at Jeopardy. We have Jeopardy.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll be right back.

[Show Announcer]

Hey, the John Clay Wolf show has what you need. Hit him up 800-800-RADIO. And check out the [e-mail] or John claywolf.com presented by gimmetheven.com tonight.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's more. A lot of dot coms. Don't forget Gordon boswellflowers.com sellmeyourkid.com nope, nope.

[Michael Turley]

Not real.

[John Clay Wolf]

We don't buy children.

[J.D. Ryan]

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

[John Clay Wolf]

I thought we. I thought we were gonna. I did buy a home off of the courthouse steps this week.

[J.D. Ryan]

Huh.

[John Clay Wolf]

Isn't that interesting? Have you ever been to a foreclosure set sale? It was literally like something out of an old timey movie at the Tarrant County Courthouse, which is old, big courthouse with huge steps. And we're standing on the courthouse steps auctioning off foreclosures. They do it once a month.

[Bobbo]

Okay. It's not, it's not located down there, but they do the, the sale on the steps of the courthouse.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Bobbo]

That's wild.

[Michael Turley]

Do they have pictures of houses and stuff? Or you just know ahead of time?

[John Clay Wolf]

You're just supposed to know. And there was just one. A friend of mine's dad and his wife got divorced, so his stepmom, she got the house and the divorce. The dad with an agreement to pay the dad 250,000. And. And there was a contract, and there was a lien on the house for 250,000. And that was, like, three years ago, and she never paid him, so he foreclosed on it. And the first time it went to foreclosure, three months ago. She filed bankruptcy that morning, so it stopped it. Then the next time, there was the threat of that happening again, and it stopped it, but this time. So he called me, said, I think this house is going to sell. I think it's going to sell cheap because the $250,000 lien on it was not large compared to the house. It was in Westover.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, wow.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So it'd be like Highland park in Dallas. It was fancy, and. And then there were three of us there that were real buyers, and it went for the money. I mean, we paid a lot. Not too much. It'll make something. But it was an interesting process. But when you do that, I mean, you get done, and they're like, okay, wire me the money. Can I see anything? Nope. No inspections. No, not. You bought it, it's yours.

[J.D. Ryan]

As.

[John Clay Wolf]

What about second liens? It's up to you to figure out. What about back taxes? What about title insurance? No, no, no. So obviously it's at a discount because you're taking such a risk on the transaction.

[Bobbo]

Okay, that's scary, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I call the lady, and she does not answer, which is this guy's old stepmother, right? And he said, she's, you know, a little, you know, I buy. Oh, they're crazy. They're crazy. Like, whatever. I'm like, hey, I've got your house. Did you know your house sold today? And she immediately went into the Department of Justice, knows that it was a forgery and that all this conspiracy theory. And the more we talked. Yeah, he's right. She's crazy. I mean, like, the Martians were gonna, you know, keep this from happening.

[J.D. Ryan]

You can't get it because the Martian got it.

[John Clay Wolf]

She. She agreed that she was gonna leave in 30 days, and. But we still got to do the foreclosure thing because there's no way that I trust her. After getting talking to her, she sent me, I don't know, 50 texts that are what. That are Diatribes of conspiracy theories and such.

[Michael Turley]

She's living in the house right now?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Mike August]

Oh, good luck.

[Bobbo]

Good luck.

[J.D. Ryan]

Good luck. Good luck getting her out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good luck with that.

[Michael Turley]

She can, like, destroy it, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it's. It's already pretty shoddy. It needs a renovation for sure. I mean, she's 79 years old, but she has another home that she got in the divorce, and the house sold for a million dollars more than what the lien was. So she's going to get back like 800 or 900,000. And she's telling me how she's destitute. She didn't have any money. I said, hang on, lady. Congratulations. You're rich again. Because the homeowner gets the overage of the lien. So if something sells for a million bucks, a liens 100 grand, the homeowner is going to get the 900,000. This is to get the lien paid off. So she's fixing to get a huge check from the court. I'm like, you've got money. I don't feel sorry for that. I mean, I don't know what to do. And if I hadn't bought it, the guy right behind me was fixing to buy it. Actually, the guy right behind me has come to me and wanted to. He got cold feet in the middle of the auction. He's offered some profit to sell it to him, and he quit bidding on. Against me. Does that make sense? Yeah. Hey, man, I should have kept bidding. I didn't. What would you take for it? So I might just sell to him, but that'd be a lot less headache. It would be. And not having to deal with her.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. So there. Yeah, because I think there's gonna be a problem.

[J.D. Ryan]

You think?

[Michael Turley]

50 texts.

[John Clay Wolf]

50? Yeah. That's gonna be a big brother.

[J.D. Ryan]

Aliens sent half of those.

[John Clay Wolf]

The. The. The conspiracy that, that someone tried to. I mean, it's just. I don't want to try to. Yeah, but just wild, wild stuff. But. But she's got plenty of money and she'll be fine. If she'd like to buy it back for me, I'd take. You know, it was getting sold. The house was getting sold. I didn't do it. It was getting sold. If I hadn't have been there, it would have sold half a million dollars less. And that's what I was telling her. I said, you ought to be thanking me, because if I hadn't been there, the bidding, then. Then the pressure of my bid wouldn't have driven the price up.

[J.D. Ryan]

Bidding would have stopped Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Yeah. So let's look at this as a positive, right? And then it. My ex wife and my daughter are mad at me because it's down the street from her mom.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why are they mad?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I'm not to. Supposed. Supposed to buy a house on the courthouse steps from the court. That is on. That is in the zone of my ex wife's home, I guess.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, that's interesting. That's an interesting rule.

[John Clay Wolf]

I said, well, she can buy it from me. She didn't want to buy it from. You'll be quiet. Y' all just quit. Yeah, I shouldn't have even told him. I shouldn't have told my daughter. I just shouldn't have told my daughter. Had I not told her, nobody would know.

[Michael Turley]

But part of you wanted to say something. Something though, I think, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, yeah. I mean, I told my daughter. I'm like, hey, I bought this house down that. Yes. I mean, I was like, this is an interesting process. I teach her that leather house I bought over there. I mean, I teach them like I'm learning. I didn't know about foreclosure sales.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, you're teaching.

[John Clay Wolf]

It happened to be on the. On the street of my. That my ex wife lives on.

[J.D. Ryan]

Just happens to be.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you think I planned that? Of course not.

[Michael Turley]

Not playing that. But once you figured it out, you're like, you know what?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, when I tell you, but understand this. One of my best friends from childhood, like the first guy that ever spent the night at my house when I was three years old. And we've been friends all the way up. Still heavy friends today. It was his parents house. He's the one that told me about it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, well, that makes sense.

[John Clay Wolf]

I knew him before I ever knew my ex wife. So you're not going for it? You're still critical, Turley.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, Just the fact of after then once you found out and you realized that you have this little bit of a dangling thing you can hang over. Somebody said, I think that's part.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's really nothing there. I mean, it's down the street. It's not like it's across the street. Actually, there was a house for sale, a lot for sale that I was looking at across the street from her house that I passed on because I didn't want to mess with that. I didn't even want to be accused of it.

[J.D. Ryan]

But you get no credit for that at all.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't think. She doesn't even know that. And they're building a new house there, but it was me Building new house there, I'm sure I'd be a son.

[J.D. Ryan]

Of a Cannot win.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now I did buy a house behind her and that's the. And that's part. Do you remember that one? Oh yeah, but that was on my street. Cuz I live one street away from her. You're buying property around her.

[J.D. Ryan]

You're just, it's like, it's like the sister in the car. I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you.

[John Clay Wolf]

So. But when I bought that house on my street that shares a background fence with my ex wife, that was the five years ago? Yeah, I called her right after it closed and I said, Jenny. I won't say her last name. Good. So I bought this house and I realized that the backyard fences back up and here's what I paid for it. You're very handy and you know, you're good interior designer. I'll take a hundred thousand dollars profit and you can have it. So I don't want to listen to you telling people that I'm messing with with you, because I'm not. This was a good deal. And she said, well, I appreciate that phone call. And let me ask you, has the home closed? Oh yeah, I own it. Said, okay, well good, because your tree fell on my fence.

[J.D. Ryan]

Just immediately there's. I'm glad you own it. There's a problem, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna send you a bill for my fence.

[J.D. Ryan]

For the fence. Wow, dude, that's hilarious. So has it closed? You officially own it? Yes. You'll be getting something in the mail.

[John Clay Wolf]

That house did. I rehabbed it and sold it. It made a ton and she missed out. You tried to give her a deal. I guess I'm talking to this about y' all because I do kind of feel me, it's where I live, it's the neighborhood I live in. See, I mean you come up, you see deals in your neighborhood, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

But she happens to live in my neighborhood too. So I guess the question is, is it her neighborhood or my neighborhood? Hmm.

[Michael Turley]

She was there first.

[John Clay Wolf]

She was there first. But I told her back when we were married, this is where I'm gonna live. We were married at one time, 20 something years ago. And I said, this is where I'm going to live. This is where we're gonna live. And then all that stuff happened and I got hurt and they, you know, got divorced and I was da da da. And I went through a bad time. And when I got my stuff back together, I bought a house there because that's what I said I was going to do. I don't know. You don't. I'm just not one to back. I'm going to do what I'm going to do. I'm not backing. If somebody's jacked me around, I ain't backing. I'm not worrying about them. No, I'm sorry.

[Bobbo]

That's right, John. You got to stand up for yourself. These things, there's such things, community property. But all these neighbors get around trying to buy the same used stuff.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who's this?

[Bobbo]

You know, it could be trouble. It's me, Harvest.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's Harvest.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where's your duck?

[Bobbo]

Just come in. Well, she's right here, Clary. We had the old Tommy Jim down the road over here, we had people gathered up. There's a dozen of us trying to buy his old Pioneer 8 track deck out of his 74 Chevrolet pickup truck. And it was nice. It was nice.

[John Clay Wolf]

The speakers too.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, he's got Kenwood speakers. And you know, my. My little. My little duck, Clarice, she's. She went to devry.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow. Shut up, Arvis. What the hell you talking about?

[Bobbo]

Well, she's going.

[John Clay Wolf]

We already did the bit with Terrence.

[Bobbo]

And she stuck her bill in that eight track deck.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. What happened?

[Bobbo]

And it clamped down on her boy. And she couldn't get out until it played all four tracks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Bobbo]

It was about 32 minutes. And the sounds that come out of her while her bill was in there was nothing like, you know, the Rio speed wagon back in the day. Anyway, she's. She lost a little bit of the bill.

[J.D. Ryan]

Lost some of the bill.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

She's not talking the same right now, but anyway. And we got the eight track players from.

[J.D. Ryan]

How you got that back? Yeah, good. $40 still works.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, $40.

[J.D. Ryan]

$40.

[Bobbo]

And they threw in a copy of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was gonna pay my buddy a fee for putting me on this deal because if we were supposed to steal this house for cheap, I was going to buy it for cheap. And when it was way, way over, the mark of what we were thinking that we could get a bought for, I looked at him, I said in the middle of the auction, I was like, our deal's off. And he was actually videoing it. And he said, I understand. He said, are you sure you want to keep going? I'm like, well, of course I want to keep going. My ex wife lives on that street. I want to buy the damn house. There it is. There you go. There it is. Full circle.

[J.D. Ryan]

Of course I'm going to keep going.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, no. The house makes money. I think I've already got it sold. Okay. Are we done? We're done. Y what? All right, like, we're done with this segment or we're done done?

[J.D. Ryan]

We're done. Done.

[Bobbo]

[Michael Turley]
