It's just me. I sign everything. I'll sign anything you got for 50 bucks.
John Clay Wolf
Boy, I'm glad you signed it. I mean, you signed my kid. You. You signed my dog.
Mike Turley
Working on what me and my man.
John Clay Wolf
You signed my manhood.
Mike Turley
I remember that. I remember it. Didn't take long. Didn't take a lot of ink. I'm working on what. What me and my other people in my organization call a shelby tirement. So $50 will do her. Bring her by on signer. I don't care what her name is.
John Clay Wolf
You know, there was. There was rumor, Carol Shelby, that you had passed away.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
True.
Mike Turley
That's a tax write off right there.
John Clay Wolf
I'm glad we could debunk those rumors this morning.
Mike Turley
I know that's what they do just. And just because you sell everything you own and move to the Bahamas, they think you're dead.
John Clay Wolf
I ain't dead.
Mike Turley
I've been shining trees in the Bahamas. You know what I get for a signed coconut?
Prek Bobo
What do you get for that?
Mike Turley
$50. That's a deal. That's a Shelby deal. Shelby Tireman's coming up someday.
Prek Bobo
Shelby Tire.
Caller/Guest
Right.
John Clay Wolf
Shelby Tires. Shelby Tirement. Is it true that you're opening a chain of Shelby retirement homes?
Mike Turley
That's Fact.
JD Ryan
Really?
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Mike Turley
Yeah, that's.
John Clay Wolf
Is that Shelby Tirement?
Mike Turley
No, no. Shelby Tirement's what I'm going to do when I decide to stop signing things for money.
John Clay Wolf
Oh. I think you should name your old folks home Shelby Tire.
Mike Turley
But I've got a. I got a name for it.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. What?
Mike Turley
It's called the Shelby house.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Yeah.
Mike Turley
And it's adjacent. Now, this is on the space of four city blocks.
John Clay Wolf
All right?
Mike Turley
It's a pretty big property there. On the front, we've got the Shelby house. The back end, this is southeast side. And don't. Don't let this out public. But it's just for the sake of the business within probably the next five to seven years.
John Clay Wolf
Okay?
Mike Turley
Shelby Funeral Home. Just right around the corner. Right around the corner. Save everybody some money and make me some, too.
John Clay Wolf
I'm sitting here in your booth at Barrett Jackson looking at some of your cars, and you made some pretty ones back in the day, and the ones today are as good as ever. It's pretty cool. I like what you do.
Mike Turley
I signed them, too.
John Clay Wolf
Did. Did you watch the Ford versus Ferrari movie? Yeah.
Mike Turley
I love it.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Mike Turley
That Ben Affleck's a hell of actor.
John Clay Wolf
Do you think? I like it. I thought it was Leonardo.
JD Ryan
Yeah, I don't think it's.
Prek Bobo
Yeah, it was Leonardo or Ferrari.
Mike Turley
No, it's Ben Affleck.
Prek Bobo
No.
Mike Turley
Matt Damon's friend.
John Clay Wolf
Nope.
Mike Turley
And then you had old Batman. Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck.
John Clay Wolf
It was a good movie.
Prek Bobo
Different movie.
Mike Turley
I like that movie.
John Clay Wolf
Ford versus Ferrari. All right. Hey, Carol Shelby, will you come back by your booth a little later and join us in an hour or so? I think you need to go get some coffee and maybe grab a bottle of oxygen and just take a load off and get ready for the big day out here at Barry Jackson.
Mike Turley
I'll tell Mikey man to get ready. We'll just hop on the copter and be there.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Mike Turley
Hey, get some people. Gather some people up there and see if there's anything they want me to sign. Okay.
John Clay Wolf
Right now, as you can tell, I mean, it's. It's. It's pretty early out here, so we're. We're jumping the gun early, but we'll get some stuff to sign. Okay. Thank you. Carol Shelby. Everybody's good to see you. The great car maker. Other greats today that have passed is Ace Freely.
JD Ryan
Yeah.
Prek Bobo
Speaking of people that signed everything in the world. Original Kiss. They did. They would sign anything. They had a Kiss casket for a while. Original Kiss legend, lead guitarist Ace. Ace friendly.
John Clay Wolf
Friendly. Ace friendly. He liked pets. He liked dogs and cats.
Prek Bobo
And he was very friendly. And he would sign anything. He's passed away at the age of 74. Here's a little montage of some of his music. Number one.
John Clay Wolf
Hi, this is Ace Fraley. Here I am and in the city with a fist full of dollars and.
Caller/Guest
Baby, baby, I'm back in New York. I wanna rock and roll all night.
John Clay Wolf
And party every day.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
You guys actually developed a code name for cocaine. Do you want to share it with our viewers?
Caller/Guest
Betty White, you know, any other story.
John Clay Wolf
It's all history. I've been sober now seven and a half years, thank God.
Mike Turley
Yeah, space man. Space Ace. Ace Fraley.
JD Ryan
How old was he?
John Clay Wolf
Carol Shelby. Carol Shelby, is Ace freely older than you?
Mike Turley
Oh, hell, no. No, no. I would, you know, I was. I was his age, you know, at least a dozen years ago. Something like. Yeah, he's a good old boy. He come. We drank together a lot. Now, this is after he got. This is after he got sober. And he would. I would be drinking whiskey and he'd drink buttermilk. That's what he liked.
John Clay Wolf
What? Yeah, I thought Carol Shelby had left, but he just doesn't seem to go away.
Prek Bobo
No.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, so Ace died. What he die of, Bob?
Mike Turley
This is terrible, dude. Okay, A lot of fans know about this.
John Clay Wolf
He.
Mike Turley
He suffered a really bad. This is not a joke. You know how I make stuff up and like, it's always like, this is not a joke. Okay?
John Clay Wolf
So.
Mike Turley
So don't. Don't preempt me. He had a really bad fall. He's 74 years old, like five weeks ago. And he's been on life support ever since. And his family finally this past Thursday made the difficult decision to let him go. Those are. Those are all the details that got us. I don't know if maybe he had a do not resuscitate or. It's just, you know, he's 74. He's on life support for going on five weeks. And it's, you know, it's kind of. It's one of those tragic things, but kind of common at that age in this country. You know, he. He had a bad fall. Left a hell of a body of work. We find it. And, you know, he was crossways with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley for 20 years after they first started leaving the band. First Peter, Chris and the names. Fraley. Fraley's Comet was, I think, a very underrated and pretty well performing hard rock band in its day. Just right before the hair metal revolution Happened with all those other bands of Fraley. Fraley looms large in our legend. Probably my favorite of. Of the Kiss guys of all. They made an album, a live album called Kiss Alive. And the reason they re released that as a single is that the original studio version did not have Ace's famous guitar solo on it. So when you hear I Want to Rock and Roll All Night with the solo, the reason you hear the live version on the radio is because it's got that solo. That's. That's the magic of Ace, frankly. So gone, but not forgotten.
John Clay Wolf
Now, did he and Gene, did they. Did they see eye to eye?
Mike Turley
They were crossways quite a bit there at the end.
John Clay Wolf
What was the issue? At the end or all along?
Mike Turley
Gene's got a very competitive nature and Ace does not. And Ace was kind of like that mad Albanian genius. He just. He just wanted to be left alone.
John Clay Wolf
And go home.
Mike Turley
He was a strict music guy. I saw him on whatever the mtv, you know, metal show was on Saturday nights many times, and he was very cool to talk to. Yeah, I don't know. One of our. One of our heroes gone, John. That's the way it goes.
John Clay Wolf
I'm not gonna call him my hero. I'm sorry. I. I like him. I like the fact that he was short and he looked tall on stage and. And that. I mean, I'm not knocking him. I'm happy. I mean, I'm happy he was here. I like. I like Kiss. I don't love Kiss. For a hero, you need love. Right?
JD Ryan
Were you guys the. Wearing the Halloween costumes and stuff like that back in your day when your kids.
Mike Turley
If we'd had any wherewithal, you know, John was in kindergarten. I was in third grade at their height. And we were being very discouraged by every adult in sight that they were, you know. You know, KISS stands for. For Nights in Satan's Service. You know, I mean, that wasn't true, Peter. Chris was a Roman Catholic.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. First. First. First eight track was Kiss. What was Master Blaster or. And we're talking probably 77 or 78. Beth was on it.
Mike Turley
I think that was Rock and Roll Over. I think there was. We were. J.D. and I were talking about this yesterday. The, you know, the holy trinity of Kiss albums, right? Destroyer.
Prek Bobo
Destroyer.
Mike Turley
Rock and Roll Over. And what was that one in the middle we.
Prek Bobo
We just talked about yesterday? Camera. Hold on.
John Clay Wolf
You sound like speech impediment. Terrence. 8008-0072-3480-0800, 7234. 800, 800 radio. I bought some Cars out here yesterday. And I'm going to try to buy some more at barrett today after the auction.
JD Ryan
Oh, what'd you buy?
John Clay Wolf
Nothing good. I mean, two good Camaros and a Mopar 340 with a. Or four.
Prek Bobo
Four.
John Clay Wolf
A Barracuda with a hemi swap in it. Oh, but it needs some paintwork. And there was a 40. Actual mile. 77 blazer last. No, 72 blazer last. 73 blazer last night. Like 40. Like 4. Zero.
JD Ryan
Can we guess?
John Clay Wolf
And I was. Oh, I know. I. You want to guess how much? Now, let me tell you this. The. The had the full removable top. It's a square body. The first year might have been a 74. Had 40 miles on it. And the paint was deteriorated. And the interior was perfect. So what do you think?
JD Ryan
I'm gonna go sulfur 65.
John Clay Wolf
You are thinking what I was thinking. And I quit bidding on it at 38. And it sold. And, you know, I was just looking at the door panels, and they had some black on. They had some rub on them, like from people. And the interior was so perfect, and those door panels weren't. And I was in the way. I'm questioning the authenticity of the miles Is what I'm trying to say.
JD Ryan
So it sold for 38 grand plus 10%.
John Clay Wolf
41. Roughly.
JD Ryan
So you get it cleaned up, it could bring 65.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but here's the problem. That. That really is a bat car. Like a bring a trailer kind of car. It's really a barrett jackson kind of car. And the fact that it didn't do what you're thinking is. Is right. The fact it didn't do that Kind of validates my thoughts. I think if you put that thing on, Bring a trailer, the. The people would tear you to pieces, Saying the miles aren't actual. Yeah, I just. I just. How can they. I don't know, you know?
JD Ryan
How do you prove that?
John Clay Wolf
Exactly. How do you prove it?
Mike Turley
I don't think you've gone wrong Listening to your gut thus far, john. I mean, you gotta stick to what works, Right?
John Clay Wolf
Right. So I was all over it at 30. And we went there, you know, Wrote it all the way up to 38. And I quit it. And I was just like, I don't know. And I've been kicking myself over it. But then I looked again at the pictures hard last night. I'm like, ah.
Caller/Guest
Ah.
John Clay Wolf
I could see people Questioning the miles on this one, you know, but we had some of those zero mile corvettes that we got out of alabama, and they looked like Fido's ass when they got here. So remember the red one with all the stuff falling off?
JD Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
All right, 800 call in right now the lightning round is coming up. 8008-0072-3480-0800, 7234. 800, 800 radio. Good morning Florida. Good morning Pennsylvania, D.C. virginia, Dallas, Texas, Houston, Texas. The entire SEC zone. It is Saturday football and Miami got knocked off last.

John Clay Wolf
Macy, good morning. You're on the air. 11 Audi A4. Where are you calling us from?
Caller/Guest
I'm calling from Manchester, New Hampshire.
John Clay Wolf
How the heck did you find me in from Mantis, New Hampshire?
Caller/Guest
Honestly, my co worker just told me to call this number and see if you'd buy my car.
John Clay Wolf
New Hampshire, how far of a drive is that to Boston?
Caller/Guest
About 45 minutes, an hour if there's traffic.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, it says that the dealer's offering you four grand for a hundred thousand mile. 11 Audi A4, is that right on trade?
Caller/Guest
Yeah, it's got about 90,000 miles on it and it's the dealership I work for. I know I can get a little bit more private sale, but I've had it up for so long and I'm honestly just trying to get rid of it.
John Clay Wolf
Before the winner, I've got a question, and this sounds really weird, but work with me, okay? On a scale of 1 to 10, how good looking are you? Rate yourself. Me? Yeah. Yep.
Caller/Guest
Like. Like how good looking I am or.
John Clay Wolf
The car is you. You. I know it said I told you, I preface it, but this sounds weird, but work with me, okay? I've got a reason for the question. I've got a reason for the question. There you go. Okay, that's what I thought. I knew it. Okay, so you work at a car dealership and you're a flat footed ace. You're a really nice looking broad. How old are you?
Caller/Guest
Okay. Yeah, I'm 21.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. There's no way in hell I'm gonna outbid those people. Zero chance. There's no way on God's green earth that I'm gonna beat a dealership full of dogs that are staring at this great looking gal every day that's wanting to sell Their car? No, no, no, no, no. I just go in there and tell them that you'll take 4,500 for it. And in your. In your. Are you really lonely and need somebody to take. Buy you a drink? I mean, somebody will probably give you five grand.
Caller/Guest
No, unfortunately, they're already offering more me more than they should be.
John Clay Wolf
I understand. Right. No. And I'm looking at what the car is really worth. I'm like, whoa, that dealership's hitting it hard. And that's why I asked your ranking. And when you told me an eight, I'm like, this is all making perfect sense now. Now, are you impregnated yet?
Caller/Guest
No.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well, I can tell you this. Are you the receptionist at a dealership?
Caller/Guest
No. I sell cars.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Because when a. When a. When any. Any lady in the under 27 years old works at a car dealership and she scores over a 7, the time to a fertilization is typically 6 months. How long have you been there?
Caller/Guest
I've been here a year. But I have a boyfriend that's outside of this that doesn't work here.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well, he's keeping the dogs off of you. If you all ever. If you all ever break up, you'll be knocked up. I don't know. I'm gonna call it 90 days. I'll bet you 100.
Caller/Guest
Probably not. Hopefully not.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well, there's your answer. Sell it to the dealership. You have an advantage over me that has nothing to do with the value of the car. Good job. You're. You're a great salesperson. Thank you for calling in. Macy. Yeah.
Caller/Guest
Nice meeting you.
John Clay Wolf
Are you too.
JD Ryan
God.
John Clay Wolf

Show Announcer
Back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com and now Senor Juan Clay Wolf.
John Clay Wolf
My friend, we're back. I have a email listener I just got. I've never heard of the John Clay Wolf show before this moment just happened upon it while driving. This is Laura Smith in Washington, D.C. i caught the tail end of the conversation with a young lady who works at a car dealership and his questioning and comments are disgusting. Oh my God. And I can't believe this kind of crap is still on the radio. Thank you, Laura Smith. That's my favorite email of the day.
JD Ryan
Did we just lose a listener really quick there?
John Clay Wolf
We just lost a listener, Laura.
Prek Bobo
See ya.
JD Ryan
You just lost a listener.
John Clay Wolf
I thought that that was the funniest phone call in a long time. It was great.
JD Ryan
It was on point. She was having fun with it. I mean, she knows.
Mike Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
No. Laura Smith in Washington, D.C. i assume you're still listening because haters are going to listen longer than lovers. And I can tell you I've been in this deal for 30 years and I've watched the pretty young ladies get the receptionist jobs at the car dealerships because we go through we service car dealerships and the salesman, they always get knocked up. It's just if you don't want, if you want your daughter to be a young mother, send her to be a receptionist at a car dealership. It's just a fact. It's not yuck. It's not disgusting. It's procreation. And if you're Amish, like you know how the Amish people want to get their daughters pregnant outside of the group so things don't cross up, send them to be a receptionist car dealership. So easiest way, 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. JD Am I making you uncomfortable? No, not at all.
Prek Bobo
It's so true. I mean, I've been around car people my whole life, even before I worked for givemetheven.com and that you are absolutely correct and sad but true.
John Clay Wolf
We're live on location at Barrett Jackson, Scottsdale, Arizona. We are in the Shelby booth. Stop by here today and say hi. If you're looking for a classic or collector car, you can go to Barrett Jackson right now and log in and buy one on simulcast they're getting better about their simulcast situation. So there you have that.
Mike Turley
Can I. John, can I ask you about something? And J.D. might back me up on this, but in my experience, what you're saying about receptionists at car dealerships also tends to apply to receptionists back in the old days, anyway. At radio stations. That front desk lady.
Prek Bobo
Yeah, more so car dealerships because they're surrounded by car guys and slick salesmen.
Mike Turley
Yeah.
Prek Bobo
But, yeah, it does happen to radio stations.
JD Ryan
It was more the promo girls.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Radio station. Yeah, the promo girls are always out. That's right. Pat in New Orleans, Louisiana. You there?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Good morning.
Caller/Guest
I am here.
John Clay Wolf
He's got the voice. I love it. I could nail that voice on the other side of the world. Okay, so this is an interesting call. Pat is a manager at a Chevy dealership in South Louisiana, and he's trying to trade for a 23 Benz EQS. It said EQE. Is it EQS? EQE? I pretty. I forget. I hate them so much, I try to block them out of my mind.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, it's an oddball.
John Clay Wolf
So. It's not an oddball. It's just something nobody wants. And what. What this is is exactly. We're talking about an electric Mercedes Benz, and it's a flop, and it's the most appreciating car in the marketplace. And I'm not beating on your car, Pat. You know, you've already been trying to get wholesalers to put numbers on it. Nobody wants to bid it. So I just sent this, your number to my guy, Daniel Moore. Danny Moore. I don't know if you know him. And I'm gonna have him call you, and he. He can make a relationship with you. He buys a lot of cars from new car stores in Louisiana, and he lives in Baton Rouge, and he'll put a number on it. What do they. What do they. You know, you're gonna lose money. Everybody that touches one of these loses money. We're gonna lose money. We're gonna lose money. Actually, this is what's gonna happen. We're gonna buy this car, and you're going to lose money on it. And we're going to tell you that we're too high, and you're going to say, no, I lost money. And then we're going to lose money on it. On top of that, everybody who will touch it loses money. But I want to do that so that we can develop a weekly relationship with you to be one of your buyers.
Caller/Guest
Sounds like a deal.
John Clay Wolf
All right, Pat, expect a call from Daniel Moore.
Caller/Guest
Appreciate it, man.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, sir. Chris in Memphis, Tennessee. You want to buy a 69? Hey, good morning.
Caller/Guest
Hey, Mr. John Clay.
Mike Turley
Yeah.
Caller/Guest
Go ahead. I'm listening.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. You want to buy a 69 Camaro. Should you buy one that's turnkey ready or one you would work on? Well, how much money do you have to spend on it? I can answer that question like that.
Caller/Guest
60,000.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. I just bought two really good ones yesterday. And go to GMTV garage and click email John. And they're about that price. I think they're upper 50s. I bought them out here at Barrett. I sat here all day long, sat here all day long and waited and waited and bid on a gazillion cars. And I bought eight. But I bought them half assed, right where I could move them another inch to make them work.
Caller/Guest
Well, I asked the producer about it. I'm no wrench. So I would have to pay everybody to do everything. And that's why I was asking. Maybe you can get a better car buying it and needing work, but I don't. I don't.
John Clay Wolf
So take this from a guy that knows. No, you cannot. You will spend more money on the car that needs work and you will never get to drive it. And you will get caught up in life and you will have it for two years. And then you'll call me back in two years and say, what will you give me for this car I bought that I never got finished, and I'm buried in it now. I have one. I have one. I've got a 79 trans AM that I started two years ago and it's still not finished. And I've got a lot of help and a lot of people.
Caller/Guest
Right?
John Clay Wolf
It's just when you do a frame off resto, you know, you can buy one of those cars, you know, buy $5,000 for a roller, right, and you wind up with 100 grand in this rig. You can buy these cars finished way cheaper than you can build them.
Caller/Guest
You said go to G, John Clay Wolf gmt.
John Clay Wolf
No, go to gmtv. So the name of the company is give me the vin gmtv and my name and just GMTV garage. That's my little classic and collector thing on the side. Gmtvgarage.com and click email John. And I'll send you the two cars I got. Okay, thank you. Thank you. And I don't do that for people, by the way. That's not my gig. I'm not the retail business. But I mean, if I got one here, he wants one. Whatever. I mean, I paid two. You can't get up. You're not gonna buy a car out here that makes a lot of money. It's just not gonna happen. There's too many people to bid against. So if you make a thousand, maybe two, it's all good. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Be.
Caller/Guest
Give me five.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Give me that one.

John Clay Wolf
Oh, you. But, but specifically the fact that I said that that pretty gals and young gals that go work at car dealerships get knocked up within six months of working there.
Caller/Guest
Yeah. So I never got knocked up, but I was always been in sales.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, Karen. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Speaking of Karen in Orlando, it is time for Florida News. Florida News.
Mike Turley
And now from North America's own land down under, it's time for Sunshine State News with your certified lifeguard, J.D. ryan.
Prek Bobo
It must be the weather because it's warm and it's comfortable and people are naked a lot. This story is a naked man was caught on camera terrorizing, terrorizing a neighborhood in Pinellas park that's near up in St. Petersburg. Here's a couple of the neighbors just talking about the naked guy Running around. Cut number nine.
John Clay Wolf
This video captured from a neighbor's backyard camera shows a man walking through a backyard exposing himself in a neighborhood in Pinellas Park.
Caller/Guest
The doorbell rang, I answered the door and there was a guy standing here and he was stark naked.
John Clay Wolf
Police identified the man as Joshua Garrison, who neighbors say went on a rampage causing significant dam homes and cars.
Caller/Guest
Threw a pot of plant through my truck window and tore the lights off the front of the house.
John Clay Wolf
He pulled this screen out, laid it.
Prek Bobo
Down, attempted to get the window open.
John Clay Wolf
We guess, and couldn't.
Prek Bobo
So then he goes back here, grabbed an axe and came back onto the back porch. We don't know why he didn't use it.
John Clay Wolf
We see him open up the fridge, grab a bottle of beer and a can of soda. That suspect was found and located on Monday. A week later, witnesses are thankful he is behind bars. Investigators believe he was a transient and.
Caller/Guest
Now he faces felony armed burglary charges.
JD Ryan
Oh, what drug was he on?
Prek Bobo
God.
JD Ryan
To make you go naked.
Mike Turley
Oh, yeah, hunger.
John Clay Wolf
That's hunger.
Mike Turley
Drug hunger.
Prek Bobo
So we got a beer and a soda.
Mike Turley
Yeah, he's out there desperate. He finally, he finally broke down and decided he's gotta take this into his own hands.
Prek Bobo
Well, speaking of being hungry, Jimmy has a great song called cheeseburger in paradise. 26 year old guy in Florida. He got arrested for assault. Assault with a cheeseburger?
Mike Turley
No.
Prek Bobo
Investigators say Jordan Cotto was arguing with the bouncer of a strip club. Why, of course he was. And threw a burger at him. Did you know that was illegal? Throwing a hamburger at somebody? Now he faces misdemeanor battery charges. Here's part of the news conference. This is Tampa PD chief. His name is Pat E. Meltdown.
Mike Turley
Ladies and gentlemen, earlier this evening our officers responded to reports of a beef between two individuals at the Atlantis Gentleman's Club where they're known for showcasing hot buns. At approximately 11:30pm a suspect identified as 26 year old Jordan double quarter pound Aado allegedly threw a cheeseburger at one of the club's bounces because as he stated, and I quote, this big beefy was trying to put his meat hooks on him and the perpetrator got cheesed off. Our evidence shows the projectile struck the victim square in the chest with just enough impact to leave a tiny mark and ruin a perfectly good golf shirt. And even with no apparent resulting injuries, we remind everybody here in Tampa no assault is considered a small fry occurrence, even if it's plain and dry. Regarding questions of whether alcohol was involved, we can say many of the Ladies working the club mentioned that the man had been acting pretty pickled. In conclusion, we'd like to remind the public, if you're feeling steamed, don't lose your cool. Maybe add some mayo. If you're feeling saucy, make sure you're hydrating properly. And under no circumstances should you ever, ever whip your beef around in public. That's all. Thank you.
Prek Bobo
So that's the news conference.
Mike Turley
Pat E. Melt.
Prek Bobo
Pat E. Melt is his name.
John Clay Wolf
The Tim in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. You were on hold, but you hung up. Call back. You've got a 69 Road Runner J code that your dad bought new. I want to buy that car.
JD Ryan
I wonder what Hannah would say when she was. I mean, she had to be there.
Prek Bobo
The strip club, of course. In Florida.
JD Ryan
Mons Venus. I mean, that's a big strip club there in Tampa.
Caller/Guest
She.
JD Ryan
I'm sure she was dancing out with.
Prek Bobo
That commotion with the cheeseburger being thrown. She was probably right there. Oh, Hannah, there you are.
JD Ryan
There she is.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Hey.
John Clay Wolf
Hey.
Caller/Guest
What's going on?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, my God.
Prek Bobo
What was exciting?
John Clay Wolf
You know, it's.
Caller/Guest
It's a Florida thing. You see it a lot. I never had this in Texas.
Prek Bobo
Really?
Caller/Guest
Or Nevada or California, Ohio, Minneapolis, or any of the other places I've been. And I've been over everything. Bye.
John Clay Wolf
Bye.
Prek Bobo
You and everyone.
Caller/Guest
It's a Florida. The food fights or the club? The poles are nested.
Prek Bobo
Are they really?
Caller/Guest
That's ketchup.
John Clay Wolf
And they don't clean the poles.
Caller/Guest
Even relish. In Florida, things that you have to have to, have to have to have a buffet. You don't have to do that.
JD Ryan
What's been thrown at you, food wise?
Caller/Guest
You know what? We have a girl, she was a waitress, and she was kind of friendly with the dancers, but she was not dancing material.
Mike Turley
Okay?
John Clay Wolf
She was a big girl.
Caller/Guest
Her name was Casey.
John Clay Wolf
Casey.
Caller/Guest
Not every girl named Casey you meet is a big girl. But it's like a 70% proposition.
John Clay Wolf
This one was.
Caller/Guest
And she would go to the. Our dressing room to snack, and she would eat Ritz crackers.
Prek Bobo
Yeah.
Caller/Guest
And Kraft can cheese.
Prek Bobo
Oh, nasty.
Caller/Guest
And one time I walked in and I was only being friendly, just being friendly with my boobies. I have friendly boobs.
John Clay Wolf
Friendly boobies, Hannah. Thank you, darling.
Caller/Guest
And I said to her, gosh, you must really get tired of that chase. She threw it at me and she hit me right in the boo.
Mike Turley
Oh, my God.
Caller/Guest
Mariah. My left boo. His name is Mariah.
Prek Bobo
I see it.
Caller/Guest
I gave Mariah black eyes. It was still cute. I hate her. Yeah. And I hate my Fans, thank you. I love you guys.
Mike Turley
Love you, too.
John Clay Wolf
Sam in Fort Worth, good morning. You're on the air.
Caller/Guest
I was wondering if you bought that gray and white blazer.
John Clay Wolf
What are you talking about?
Caller/Guest
I saw you last night looking at a gray and white blazer. You got up on stage and looked at a gray and white blazer.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, you saw. You saw me on TV at the bear Jackson auction.
Caller/Guest
Saw you on TV at the Barrett Jackson auction.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, that. You know, I was looking at that car. We're in bear. We're at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale today, guys, and we're broadcasting live here from the Shelby booth. Come by. It's super Saturday. But, yeah, last night I was looking at that car and a friend of mine saw me on TV looking at that car and he texted me and he said, stay away from it. And. And I said, why? And he said, jeremy, up at platinum, he said, that was my car. I hate that car. It's problem. It's a troubled rig. He fought with it forever and he blew it up and sold it. Lost money on it. He said, you don't want to buy that one. He sold it for 35 grand on bring a trailer and about a year ago and it brought 41 grand last night. And I thought that that was still a good deal. Huh.
Caller/Guest
Have you seen any more?
John Clay Wolf
More?
Caller/Guest
Is the. Is the Bentley dealers getting rid of.
John Clay Wolf
All their cars now, what that is? So what that is, I call them Benzes, BMWs and Bentleys at these auctions. There's a lot of those cars running through and it's just dealers that send those cars through and they like to sell them here. But there were. There. There's a little too many of those.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, too many. There's a ton of camaros, too. I can't believe how many camaros there were.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's cool. Thanks for watching and thanks for calling in. My name is John Clay wolf and we are here live on location. Remember, November 15th, we're going to have a car show on walnut springs.

Caller/Guest
Oh no, man, they're bringing a lot more than that. It's a rare car, bro.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I've had them, bro. Bro, I've had him. I, I bought and sold about three of them in the past five years. Yeah, they're not that pretty.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, well, I get a lot of, look, I've been buying them for 50 years and it's people get, they go nuts over this car.
John Clay Wolf
Go to gmtvcc.com load it up, let me take a look. Thank you. Crab. What's up? Hey.
Caller/Guest
God damn it. Truly. Hey, he made a comment last hour on the chat room. His sports wiener is going crazy and I wanted him to elaborate on that one.
JD Ryan
My sports wieners going crazy because the last several nights have been awesome. Football Thursday night, the two old 40 year old quarterbacks going at it. Great game last night. Miami gets upset, the Dodgers win and Ohtani does record breaking three home runs and strikes out 10. I mean that's my sports wieners going crazy.
Mike Turley
That's an interesting, that's an interesting metaphor.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
You.
Mike Turley
So instead of like a swing, it's like a hut.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, exactly. Wow.
Caller/Guest
Have a great weekend, guys.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you.
Mike Turley
I hadn't put it together like that, but there were, there have been some great moments the last like just three, four days.
JD Ryan
Oh, it's.
Prek Bobo
What's the Big game over the weekend now.
JD Ryan
Well, there's several. I mean, it's college football coming up right now.
Prek Bobo
College football.
JD Ryan
Are we wanting to get into this now?
John Clay Wolf
Sure, go ahead.
JD Ryan
That help you get over your hiccups?
John Clay Wolf
Sure, go ahead. Means. Sure, go ahead.
JD Ryan
So last.
John Clay Wolf
Bye, guys.
JD Ryan
Later.
Mike Turley
Bye, Crab.
JD Ryan
Last weekend I went 3 and 2 on our picks, our bets. John. One game was particularly interesting. TU versus Oklahoma. You remember that game, John?
John Clay Wolf
Yes. I had. I had a few. I had a few very confident statements about that game.
Prek Bobo
Very confident, even.
JD Ryan
Even willing to bet a thousand dollars on that game.
John Clay Wolf
And you had the opportunity and you passed.
JD Ryan
I know, I know.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. I'm well aware of that, John. Okay. Okay.
JD Ryan
Of course, that game went pretty much like I was saying. Texas ended up winning that game. So this week we're gonna do. There's actually a lot of games. Seven games we're gonna go over. John.
John Clay Wolf
Wow.
JD Ryan
And since I don't think we should.
John Clay Wolf
Do them all now.
JD Ryan
No, no, no. We'll just hit a couple here. Just maybe the college games.
John Clay Wolf
What's the payout from last week? So I went down. I'm down 25 bucks.
JD Ryan
Yeah. So it's 150. I'm up right now. 16 and 10 for the year.
Prek Bobo
Do you feel better about Manning after watching him for a week now? Because you really didn't like him last week?
John Clay Wolf
Not at all. I double down on my comments about Archmani. Okay, okay.
JD Ryan
He's not going to let it go.
John Clay Wolf
No way will he be. He does not deserve to be the quarterback of the great University of Texas. He's not good enough. He should be the quarterback of Abilene State. Sam Houston State. Oklahoma. Not even Oklahoma State. Who are the raging Cajuns? Is that Louisiana?
JD Ryan
Yeah. Louisiana.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Or is that Rush? Anyway, that's. That. That's. He should be getting warmed up there.
JD Ryan
Well, he's not in the bets for this week, but first game, number 10, LSU. They're 5 and 1 at Vanderbilt, who is 5 and 1. They're number 17 in the country, Vanderbilt.
John Clay Wolf
This is probably the game of the day.
JD Ryan
It's one of them. Several. That's at 11:00 clock central on ABC. Vanderbilt's favored by two and a half. John, since I won, I get to go first on the picks. LSU has been kind of up and down. Vanderbilt's been a surprise. They held in there against Bama. With that being said, I'm gonna go Vanderbilt to cover that two and a half point spread there, Jon.
John Clay Wolf
I'm gonna go Tigers. I love them. Can't Help it. Vanderbilt is ridiculously good and I hope I win. I don't think I'll. I don't think I'm going to win, but I'm too big of an LSU fan to take. I'm betting. Betting with my heart. Yeah.
JD Ryan
And usually when you do that, it works out really well for you, so.
Mike Turley
Right.
John Clay Wolf
No, it doesn't.
Mike Turley
Tigers are scrappy, man.
John Clay Wolf
You.
Mike Turley
You really can't put them out. But Vanderbilt is quite, quite impressive early this season.
JD Ryan
All right, next one. Next one. You get to pick. It's number five, Ole Miss. They're six zero at number nine, Georgia. Five and one. Georgia's favored by seven and a half. That game's at 2:30 Central on ABC. I mean, Ole Miss has been hammered by Georgia past couple times. John, you get to pick first here.
John Clay Wolf
What's the line?
JD Ryan
Seven and a half point favorite. Georgia.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. I'm gonna take Georgia.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Mike Turley
Get some, Andy.
JD Ryan
All right, go with that. John, you're confident in Georgia, huh? You think Ole Miss is just pretenders?
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
JD Ryan
They didn't look great last week. They barely squeaked out a win.
Mike Turley
You don't have to be pretender to lose to Georgia, though. I mean.
JD Ryan
No, George is. They're a good team.
Mike Turley
They're real.
JD Ryan
All right, another game here at 6:30 Central. On the Peacock, number 20. USC five and one. At number 13, Notre Dame is four and two. USC is not one in South Bench. It's 2011. John. Notre Dame likes to run the ball. I've seen them up in person.
John Clay Wolf
In person.
JD Ryan
They're a good team. Their defense isn't great. So I think it's a high scoring game. I think. See, the school spreads eight and a half points. It's a lot of points, but I'm gonna go with it. I think Notre Dame is gonna cover that one.
John Clay Wolf
I'm going for California.
JD Ryan
Wow. This is easy. Okay, you think straight up USC there?
John Clay Wolf
Not straight up.
JD Ryan
Well, I know, but they're gonna.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Yeah.
JD Ryan
With the points.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Okay.
JD Ryan
All right, next game. This is. This is the game of the night, I believe. Number 11, Tennessee, five and one. At number six, Alabama, five and one. It's at Alabama, 630 Central on ABC. Alabama's favored by eight and a half points. John, you get to go first on this one.
John Clay Wolf
I think Bama wins, but I think Tennessee keeps it close. So I'm going to bet Tennessee with point.
JD Ryan
I'm thinking Bama covers. I like Bama. They're rolling. Ty Simpson, he's the. I guess he's the front runner now for The Heisman. Because Carson Beck just choked.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, damn, sure, in Arch. Meaning it's not Arch Manning.
JD Ryan
No, he choked big time. All right, that's our college picks. We'll do our NFL's one later. Did you watch the game last night, by the way?
John Clay Wolf
I was working too late and I missed it. But Miami got beat, man.
JD Ryan
It was weird against Louisville. Louisville's a good team, but at home, you can't lose that game if you're number two in the country.
John Clay Wolf
That's what's fun about college football, dude. These weird things happen and these. These upsets happen this time of year, and that's what keeps it so damn interesting. That's why I love it. I'm going to the Tech Arizona game this afternoon, by the way. Texas Tech.
JD Ryan
Oh, and Arizona.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah. It's right down the street here. And we're in Barrett Jackson. And some of my. You know, Joey McGuire was a teammate of mine in high school, the head coach.
JD Ryan
We know about this.
John Clay Wolf
And some of the Crowley boys are coming out here, and we're all going to go together.
JD Ryan
Man, you are a Tech fan now, aren't you?
John Clay Wolf
I think you'll see me on the sideline tonight.
Mike Turley
Oh, my God.
John Clay Wolf
Yep. Holy cow. Sorry to bust your balls like that, but it is what it is.
JD Ryan
It's going to be a good game. Arizona State's not terrible. I mean, their Tech's favored by six and a half. I think Tech still wins, but that's gonna be a fun game to go to Arizona State. I heard that's a big party school out there.
John Clay Wolf
So ugly girls, too?
JD Ryan
Oh, yeah. Atrocious, huh?
John Clay Wolf
We're here live in Super Saturday Barrett Jackson Auto Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. We are in the Shelby booth. So when you come in, look to the right and you will see us here. This is. I was buying cars the day before yesterday, and yesterday we got some cool video and there were some. It'll be up next week. I think we'll. We'll have that up. We don't have a video going up this week. That one we put up last week, burned off. Our YouTube channel is finally going. Took forever to get it done. Jesus christ. Speaking of YouTube, Tyler Hoovy is going to be joining me here in the booth in our broadcast booth in a couple of hours. Nope.
Prek Bobo
About 45 minutes.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. If anybody knows Tyler Hoovy, I mean, if you're a car dork, you do. He's a big YouTuber. Hoobies Garage. He. He's turned into a friend of mine, and he's got pretty good stories, actually.
JD Ryan
The car guys would be joining us in 45.
Prek Bobo
My bad. Yes. I'm sorry. Steven bunker, the good, good guys head of marketing, will join you in 45 minutes.
John Clay Wolf
Good. The good guys car shows, right? They're gonna now they're Gonna announce their 2026 schedule and they are also going to be at the rattle and roll car show in Walnut Springs November 15th.

We've got Ralph barbosa, comedian, he's also a car enthusiast coming. And rollins is stopping by.
JD Ryan
That's brawling for you.

Mike Turley

John Clay Wolf
Allen in Palm Beach, Florida. 21 4th transit van 55, 000 mile. You want 30 grand. I think it's worth 18.
Caller/Guest
18. Really, John?
John Clay Wolf
Yes, sir. Aaron in Cypress, Texas. 11 Rubicon. 135, 000 miles. One ton axle rock crawlers. I need pictures of this thing. I see. You want 25 grand. Says you had an offer. What was the previous offer from us?
Caller/Guest
I didn't give me an offer.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. It says previous had offer for 23 grand. I didn't know if that was from us.
Caller/Guest
Oh, yeah. Private offers that I've done.
John Clay Wolf
Why didn't you take it?
Caller/Guest
I don't know.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, just. Anyway, go to givemetheven.com and load it up. Let's take a look. Scene make. Put a parts list in there in the notes so we know what all we've got there. Roman in el Paso and 01 Crown Vic supercharged, 86,000 mile. What? Yes, sir.
Caller/Guest
How are you?
John Clay Wolf
Good. What have you done? Is this like a police intercept from. No, it's not.
Caller/Guest
It's the LX Sport, which is like. It looks exactly like a Marauder with the center console shifter. Yeah, some local hot rodder put an Allen top mounted supercharger on it with a nitrous kit. And I bought it from about two years ago. 86,000 miles, black on black slick top. Everything's perfect. It just needs a set of slicks all back.
John Clay Wolf
Would you take eight grand for it?
Caller/Guest
Oh, I think I'd have to keep it for eight just because it's hard to replace, you know. But honestly, I would take 12, 13, but otherwise I'd probably just have to keep ripping it. It makes all the right sounds, all that fun stuff, you know.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's just a. It's an oddball. So they didn't change the engine, they just put a supercharger on it.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Right?
John Clay Wolf
You got it.
Caller/Guest
And you know, as the previous owner claims, it has internals but no paperwork. So that's always like A. Yeah, 10.
John Clay Wolf
Would be the max and I'm not offering it. I'd have to think about it. But if you take 10, go to gmtvcc.com and load it up. Let's take a look. See, could I make it a Marauder clone? Like a. Like, does it have Marauder wheels? But it's, it's not a Mercury. It's a. Yeah, it won't work. Thank you. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Real quick. Ed and Austin. You ordered a G63 Benz G Wagon at a dealership. They took your deposit. They just called you, said they'd sell, but if you resold it, you'd owe 20,000. Oh, yeah. Is that enforceable? No, that is not enforceable. Are you there, Ed?
Caller/Guest
Yeah, I'm here.
John Clay Wolf
It's not enforceable, but what they'll do, they'll blacklist you.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, that's not exactly how it, how it happened. They threatened. So I arrived with a check from my. From my credit union when to take delivery of it. And as I am about to sign for the purchase, one of the managers walks in, threatens to cancel the deal, says, hey, we don't want to sell it to you anymore. And then after some back and forth, they said, you know what, we will sell it to you after the fact that you got to sign this form that says you got to keep it for a year. We're going to come after you for 20K.
John Clay Wolf
Well, they do that on the, like, the ZR1 Corvette. The. The new Corvettes, they're doing the same thing. They. They say you sell this thing within a year. If you sell this thing within a year, then we will blacklist you from all special order GMs. You know Tesla threatened to charge people back if they sold the cyber truck, right? And they also have these things. If you're flipping new cars, they'll cancel the warranties on them on the special unit. So is it true? Are they going to. Are you going to have to write them a check for 20,000? No. If you. If you sell it early, are you going to get blacklisted off on the list to not be able to buy special cars from them anymore? Yes.
Caller/Guest
So they sent me a few because I was trying to sell it to a dealership and they somehow caught wind of it, and their attorney sent me a demand letter saying that if I went through with it, they would try to collect the 20 grand.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I mean, why not just keep it. Podbean, your message amplified.

Caller/Guest
Because my honest, honest answer is because my wife says it's cost too much money to have it and she wants things done to the house instead.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well, loaded into givemetheven.com if you're gonna sell it. Hell, we buy them from flippers all the time. But, I mean, it doesn't sound like.
Caller/Guest
Well, I'm not. I'm not making. I'm not making money on it.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Right.
Caller/Guest
I'm actually losing a few grand.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Caller/Guest
The intention wasn't to flip it to begin with. Right. My. My concern is that they added that form after the fact we already had.
John Clay Wolf

John Clay Wolf
You'Re trapped and you're talking to me.
JD Ryan
Oh, so you want to stay with me? I bought you.
Prek Bobo
What?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
You mean I'm broke?
Caller/Guest
You finance me through some janky 6%.
John Clay Wolf
APR loan you can't even afford.
Caller/Guest
I pulled your credit score 528.
John Clay Wolf
Bro, you're broker than a Walmart wig. Sitting here yelling at a Tesla instead of upgrading to a girlfriend who doesn't talk back. Well, you got me up.
JD Ryan
You're just a car.
John Clay Wolf
I didn't finance you. Actually, I paid cash.
Mike Turley
Cash?
John Clay Wolf
You paid cash? You can't even pay your cell phone bill.
Show Announcer
We now return to the John Clay Wolf Show, America's largest weekend morning show.
John Clay Wolf
I thought that was funny, because that is a Tesla talking to its owner via the Grock Unchained plot app. Yeah, and the grok AI like chat GPT. If you do the unhinged mode, it is ridiculous how bad and sassy it talks to you. Oh, that was real.
Mike Turley
Somebody on Twitter the other day had one talking like a caveman.
John Clay Wolf
It's. It's really weird. Def Leppard got their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That's about time.
Prek Bobo
Lead singer Joe Elliott spoke on behalf of the band, and he was sure to thank one very special producer, a name you've probably heard before, and, of course, the legions of fans that they have. Cut number two. So what about the actual albums?
Mike Turley
Massive thanks. Obviously go out to Mutt Lang, who took the gamble on working with this unknown Quantity back in 1981, taught us what making a record really meant and helps us create songs that would hopefully last a lifetime. To our incredible loving fan base out there. Two words. Thank you.
John Clay Wolf
Y' all want to hear something funny?
Prek Bobo
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
So you know Bobbo. He's a workaholic, and he's always at it. And whenever I. He goes out to the ranch and he does all his stuff and he gets it all working. But I showed up unannounced on Thursday afternoon, about 12.
Prek Bobo
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
And homeboy was sleeping for two hours in the middle of the day in the bedroom.
JD Ryan
Nap time.
John Clay Wolf
That's good.
Prek Bobo
They do that in Mexico all the time. It's very common.
JD Ryan
Siesta babbo.
Mike Turley
Hey, man, when you get up at three.
Prek Bobo
Yeah. He also gets up at three and four.
Mike Turley
Sounds kind of sounds more like. Kind of like my business John. But whatever man. Keeping an eye on me, are you?
John Clay Wolf
I mean I just. It's just working remote.
Mike Turley
Fair enough, old buddy.
John Clay Wolf
Oh golly. I mean we're not allowed to bust balls anymore.
Mike Turley
Of course you are. What did I do? Am I contrary or something?
John Clay Wolf
No.
Mike Turley
Have you got a problem? We having a problem?
John Clay Wolf
I just. I just thought it was interesting.
Mike Turley
It probably. I mean how many people do you know do that, right?
JD Ryan
I've never taken a nap just. Me personally.
Prek Bobo
Never sleep at all.
John Clay Wolf
I mean a nap, I get it but I think it was like two and a half hours.
Mike Turley
Yeah, no, I was absolutely tits up, dude. Yeah, I set an alarm and I, I turn on my little radio.
Prek Bobo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mike Turley
And I, I get an hour and a half, two hours. Yeah. But I get up really stupid early and Thursday is my drive day and I don't know when this started to happen but like long drives wear me out and never used to. So anyway.
John Clay Wolf
Really?
Mike Turley
Yeah. Do you ever get that? Because you drive a hell of a lot more than I do, man.
John Clay Wolf
No, I mean. But I'm a big napper, dude. I mean I bet once a week at least, if not twice a week I'll get on the couch in the office and get 20 minutes in and golly, you feel like a new man. It hits me about 2:30 or 3:00'. Clock. I was gonna say I'm ready to go.
Mike Turley
I kind of got that idea from you because I've noticed you doing that but you know the schedule's so weird and I'm getting older and like I'll pop open naturally at 3am like boom.
John Clay Wolf
Right?
Mike Turley
Wide awake. And so you know, what are you gonna do?
John Clay Wolf
Sound like a bunch of old men. Jim. Jim. In Keller, Texas you've got a 72C 10 Cheyenne. Is it a short bed?
Caller/Guest
Yes sir.
John Clay Wolf
So it's a resto mod. Has a hundred and thirty five thousand in it wants a hundred. Had a eighty thousand dollar offer from previous. From previous whom?
Caller/Guest
It was at a car show. I don't remember his name.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, what motor is in it?
Caller/Guest
It's a 632 Skip White.
John Clay Wolf
I don't know what that is. Is that an injected or carbureted engine?
Caller/Guest
No, it's fuel injected. 632 cubic inch, 800 horsepower, 813 torque.
John Clay Wolf
So Skip White, that's not one of those GM6 whatever blocks that they're offering, is it?
Caller/Guest
No, it's not a GM It's a.
John Clay Wolf
Does he make the block racing motor? Okay.
Caller/Guest
No, it's a dart block.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And I'm just gonna see pictures of. I mean, obviously it's just absolute super truck. And we buy those for without question. And I gave 80,000 for a truck. Did you see that truck that richard and I bought at gas monkey ice house a couple of months ago for 80 grand?
Mike Turley
No, I didn't see that one.
Caller/Guest
And on this one, it's just a little bit about it. It's a short bed, Cheyenne super. It's a tangelo pearl orange. It's originally orange and white truck. Now it's tangelo pearl with the lexus pearl white short bed, American racing wheels. 335.
John Clay Wolf
I gotcha. You know what? Hey, I. I just took it. I'm on the air and I just took a picture of your phone number here and your deal. I just texted it. I just texted it to richard rollins. I'm going to have him call you.
Caller/Guest
Okay, Sounds great.
John Clay Wolf
He knows those rigs pretty good. And he can get right on.
JD Ryan
He's not stopping.
John Clay Wolf
He's the one that bought the last one, and I was scared of the last one and he's the one that bought it, and he was right. So I'm gonna let him handle that one. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.
Mike Turley
Watch out for those filibusters, john.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Where?
Mike Turley
They're all over the place these days. God almighty.
JD Ryan
Johnny cash, everybody.
Prek Bobo
Oh, there he is.
John Clay Wolf
It's time, Johnny.
Mike Turley
Oh, I'm sorry I missed it there, fellers. Hello, I'm Johnny cash. John. This week's mail from jail entry reads, john clay, when I first heard your show, all I could say was, hell, yeah. Finally, a program for people like me who are all about sex, cars, and rock and roll. I'm in prison, of course, so the sex and cars are off the table. But I still know how to rock, you know, I got to be a roadie for the rolling stones when they were selling out stadiums. It was a wild time, man. The friends you make can get you in business. And you don't need nothing like the meth business, which will land your ass right here with me. I miss those days, though. I remember being there when the stones played the cotton bowl. Mick jagger wore a dallas cowboys jersey. Remember that? I actually ended up getting kicked out of the venue because I was so drunk. Keith liked to party, though, man. You think drugs were legal the way that they carried on back in the day? Unfortunately, drugs are not legal. They're very illegal. In a perfect world, I'd still be bagging chicks and smoking pot with Keith Richards. Little advice, though. Don't ever think there's promotion in the drug business. All you get is more time in prison and more blood on your hands. The more you move up in the world. So whenever I wind up, I know one thing. Rock and roll never dies. Satan horn. Satan horn. That means you got a hand signal or something. Your friend. Victor Cochran, Huntsville Correctional Unit, Huntsville, Texas. Partner, if you've got mail from jail, just send it on down the line to us here at P.O. box 471-517. That is in Fort Worth, Texas, 76147.
Prek Bobo
Thank you, Johnny.
John Clay Wolf
You're looking good, buddy.
Prek Bobo
For dead, you know it's bad at all.
Mike Turley
All right, you too, J.D.
Prek Bobo
Thank you, sir, very much. We'll be right back in just a couple of minutes. John Clay Wolf Show. Actually, John is live in Scottsdale, Arizona at the Big Bear Jackson of thing. It's gonna get even stranger as the day goes along. A lot of people dropping in to say hi. You can talk to John personally. 800-800-radio. 800-800-7234. Give him a call. Talk about cars, talk about women. You know, who talks about women? More of that's coming up on the John Clay Wolf Show.
Mike Turley
Don't go away.
Show Announcer
Yo. We're back to the John Clay Wolf show taking over your radio. Every Saturday morning.
John Clay Wolf
We have the drunkest audience in the the nation. Yes, my brother, I've got a good, good woman at home. Turley, have you ever had a Honky Tonk special?
JD Ryan
No, I don't. What's a Honky Tonk special?
Mike Turley
Oh, sure you have. You've been here long enough. Turley's an implant from Connecticut folks, if you didn't know. And that. That's not an insult.
JD Ryan
That's what's honky Tonk speck.
John Clay Wolf
He sings about some old honky tonk special. I had some old gal that you're dancing with in Rockies and you take her home and she might be a little. Went to bed with a 10, woke up with a two.
Mike Turley
Technically. Technically, John, we don't meet a legitimate honky tonk special until after 1:15am because the girls all get prettier at closing time.
John Clay Wolf
Is this the part of it right here? No. I posted on Facebook one day I was in saloon and I took a picture of my wife and I said, this is some honky tonk special I found. And she didn't know what that meant.
JD Ryan
Good thing.
John Clay Wolf
But I meant it as a compliment. I meant it as a compliment, like, hey, I've got my wife, and she's my honky tonk special.
Mike Turley
I'm with you. It can be a compliment, John. I mean, it can be, you know.
John Clay Wolf
Sound like what you described, though.
Mike Turley
Well, in general parlance, it's usually not, but it can be just a joke.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I like mine. I. I kept my honky Tonk special for 20 years. Here we. And I end up with some honky tonk special I found. That's a honky tonk special, Turley.
JD Ryan
Now I know what it means in the song. I was always wondering that.
John Clay Wolf
Yep, JD has definitely had a honky talk special.
Prek Bobo
Long time ago on Planet Far Far Away. Many, many Friday nights at Cowboys in Arlington.
JD Ryan
Oh, Cowboys.
John Clay Wolf
How's married life treating you, J.D.
Prek Bobo
It'S amazing. She's wonderful. I don't know where she's been all my life. I know she was married to somebody else. What is it?
John Clay Wolf
Is it any different? Y' all lived together for five years? Seven years.
Prek Bobo
Yep. Almost 10. No, it's no different. Except now we're married, and it's. It's blissful. It's very happy. I wish this had happened the first time around.
Mike Turley
It's.
Prek Bobo
It's amazing. She's my very best friend.
John Clay Wolf
Why did you wait so long to marry her?
Prek Bobo
Well, that's a very good story. And actually, I'm glad you asked, John, because you think you're gonna box me in, but you're not.
John Clay Wolf
The truth is, I'm really not.
Prek Bobo
I told him when I first met her, I was. I've been divorced. I got divorced in 90. 1990. Okay. So that had been 20 some years. And I just told her, I said, I'm. If you're looking for somebody to marry, I'm not the guy. I'm never going to do that again. I told myself years ago that was it. I'm done. So if you want to hang out, be friends, great. I'm never going to get married again. And then she.
JD Ryan
She didn't go away.
Prek Bobo
She didn't go away. She put up with me. I mean, we have so many things we agree on. It's just greatness. And I said, okay, finally, let's do it. Plus, you know, I'm getting older, John, and I'm going to be in a wheelchair one of these days, and I need somebody to push me.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, that all makes sense. Just kidding. Ask them questions, get real answers.
Prek Bobo
I'm just kidding.
Mike Turley
What's wrong with you married guys and all three of you are guilty of this. I don't see your wives nearly enough, and I ain't got one. So, like, you know, you got. Y' all need to social up.
Prek Bobo
Social up.
Mike Turley
Yeah.
Prek Bobo
Okay.
Mike Turley
Weekend once in a while. Yeah, they used to cook for me and hang around.
Prek Bobo
Oh, we're getting back to. John's wife doesn't cook for you.
Mike Turley
Movies and things. Not just his wife. I miss Kim, too.
Prek Bobo
Yeah, Kim. Kim's a great, you know, great cook.
Mike Turley
And not to. Not to mention my galbrina.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, she's.
JD Ryan
Well, you just want a free massage at her hotel.
John Clay Wolf
That's what you want.
Mike Turley
No, I dig your wives, man. You guys are like, I don't have a lot of friends outside of here. And, like, I. I live and breathe this stuff. And where are they? Why aren't they coming over? What's the deal? What's up?
JD Ryan
It's not your creepy or anything.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, I'm gonna. I'm gonna put. I'm gonna push a Internet guy. Cuban. I'm gonna push a picture over to you right now of a fish that was caught out at the ranch yesterday. That is a record breaker. It's a record breaker. You put it up on the YouTube stream@jcwshow.com right after I left it. We got up real early in the morning in the dark, and we rode dirt bikes. And then I had to leave because I had to go get on a plane to come to Arizona. And we're here live. Anyway, those guys caught that fish right after I left in the Shelby booth here on super Saturday at Barrett Jackson Auto auction. It is today. You know, a lot of people did not know that this auction was today because they have it in January, but they just started doing it last year in October also. So they're having October right now, and then they'll do it again in January. So if you're coming over to the show today, walk in and turn to the right when you come in and say hi to us. We're in the Shelby booth at Barrett Jackson Auto auction. It's a classic collector sale in Arizona. Oh, you. You see that picture of that fish? Fish.

Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
This is going to be our 43rd year putting on events across the country.
John Clay Wolf
Are the burnout contest. Are they at the peak of their popularity right now? It seems like that's just really catching on.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Yeah. So the way that Good Guys does our burnout contest, it's a static burnout. We like to do a pit like other shows do. Like, you see those wild and crazy burnouts in Australia. You know, they're ripping around, but space constraints just kind of hold us to. To a static burnout. But they're pretty popular at the events that we do them at, for sure.
John Clay Wolf
Do they ever hit the walls? I know y' all set up those barriers or those pits.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
I mean, luckily, knock on wood never happened at Good Guy shows. I've seen. I've seen the social media post of it happening at other shows, but we've. We've lucked out at Good Guys. We've blown a couple tires, and that's about it.
John Clay Wolf
So you guys are coming out to Walnut Springs Nov. 15 for the Rattle and Roll car show?
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
That's right.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Yeah.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)

Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Yeah, yeah, I've heard of the guy.
John Clay Wolf
Rollins. Rollins is coming by. You know Dennis Collins?
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Not. Not familiar with Dennis's name.
John Clay Wolf
He was. If you look him up on YouTube, he's got, like 600,000 subscribers. He's. He's quite the car guy. He's gonna be there as well. I'm gonna be there. Ralph Barbosa. He's a Hispanic comedian, and he's a super funny guy, but he's really into cars. He's gonna be there also being a judge. So I'm excited that you guys are coming out. Y' all are gonna bring a couple of cool rides.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Yeah, we'll bring a couple of our company vehicles out there to. To put up a booth that, you know, talking about Good guy shows for 20, 26.
JD Ryan
What are company vehicles like? It's not like your normal company vehicles.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
I'm sure, in the warehouse. Yeah, I mean, so there's. There's a 29 Roadster, a 32 Ford sedan 46 or 7 Plymouth, 69 Camaro, 79 Fox body, 61 C10 pickup. So mostly, mostly the. The classic American made stuff.
John Clay Wolf
That'd be awesome. All right, so we gotta have a place to set you up. We've got GMTV Garage, we got Bosque Cantina, Rattlesnake Roadhouse, W6 Steakhouse, and all this other stuff. It's really cool. Walnut is like a little ghost town. And myself and another fella have bought up a lot of the downtown and we've renovated it. And I want to make Car Town. Remember the movie cars from Disney called Radiator Springs?
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Of course. I got a three year old. We watch it all the time.
John Clay Wolf
This is Walnut Springs. And that's when I saw this place. I'm like, hell, it's already named. Right?
Caller/Guest
There you go.
John Clay Wolf
And it's an hour south of Fort Worth and it's crazy gorgeous hill country out there and really good touring roads. And you just drive. It's about 12 miles south from Glen Rose and you drive through these hills and you land in this little. It's almost like, you know, when you get to a ski town. Yeah. In the mountains. That's the feel.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
That's awesome.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I, I really have high hopes for it. And last year's event was wonderful and I think this year is going to be even better because you guys are going to attend.

I actually had a buyer in here, Mike, on Thursday, because I didn't get here Thursday, and I had it on the live stream in the office watching the tv, and I was talking to him from the live stream and, like, bid it again, bit it again. So in. Braden got that on video, and we're gonna put that up next week. Our Barrett Jackson recap. It'll be pretty fun.
JD Ryan
Did he bid too high on something? You're like, no, no, stop.
John Clay Wolf
Yes, yes, yes, yes, of course. And he said, I thought you said, said go. I said. I said, no. But it was so loud. It was so loud. I was saying, no, no. And he thought I was saying, go, go. So he kept bidding. And I'm sitting there watching it on TV live, and I'm like, no, no. And he just keeps going, going. So that's. I was like, okay, this isn't going to work. I'm going to need to come out.
Prek Bobo

Show Announcer
Now back to the John Clay wolf show presented by givemethevit.com hit him up right now, 1-800-800-radio. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay wolf show.
John Clay Wolf
And this is the lightning round. We're here live in Arizona Scottsdale in the Shelby booth at Barrett Jackson. David, you got a 18 lariat, 16,000 miles. You want $32,000 for a 18 lariat? I like the miles. Is it a four wheel drive or two wheel drive?
Caller/Guest
It's a two wheel drive, 2.7 liter EcoBoost.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, go to givemetheven.com and load that up. Let me Everything's going to say no, that it's too high. But I need to do a little bit of thinking because the miles are so special. I want to try to stretch to do it and I don't want to. Would you take 28 grand for it?
Caller/Guest
I could do 30.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, load it up. Go to givethevin.com. say talk to John on the radio. I'll sell it for 30 and they'll forward it to me when I got off there and I'll make a decision. But take a couple of pictures and attach them when you go to give me the venues.
Caller/Guest
Put in your pictures. I got pictures for you.
Mike Turley
If you can give me a phone.
Caller/Guest
Number, I can text them to whoever.
John Clay Wolf
If you go to givemetheven.com, put in the license plate number. You can just push Attach pictures. Attach the pictures. It's automated. It's quick. Okay, thank you, Bert. Austin, you got a 69k10, 350 miles frame off resto. What you want 175,000.
Caller/Guest
Well, you should see the truck first before you say no.
John Clay Wolf
You're right. Now you say it's got a Holley sniper on it or it's a sniper motor.
Caller/Guest
No, it's got a Holley sniper on it. They tried to convince me to put an LS in there but I said no, I want to try to keep the same. But it's a blueprint motor. You know, everything was redone had a really cool guy out in Cameron, Texas, which is outside of waco, restore that thing for me. Took about 18 months. He did it right.
John Clay Wolf
I think for a truck to get into that price range, it needs a LT4 in it.
Caller/Guest
I don't know what that is, to be honest with you.
John Clay Wolf
That's the supercharged Cadillac that, that. That's when you get into those crazy prices like that. And it. Does it have an aftermarket chassis on it like a roadster shop or.
Caller/Guest
No, no.
John Clay Wolf
This thing.
Caller/Guest
This thing was. It was my brother's somewhere down the line. He picked it up somewhere back in 94. He gave it to me from a college truck. And I've kept it ever since. It's been through two wives and four kids. So, yeah, it's been with me for a long time. Finally had the mind to put it, put it together properly. But you really have to take a look at it.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, I think it's beautiful. I understand. But I'm telling you, I've learned a little bit. I've really been studying this for the past few years and learning these cars. And to get into that 200 grand range, you've got to have an aftermarket chassis and you've got to have a power plant that is. Oh, my God. And those power plants are LT4 engines or LSA engines. And the chassis or roadster shop. Or like. Have you seen the iconic build K5 Blade? Anyway, I think you might have a hundred thousand dollar truck, but I. How much was the resto bill? What'd you pay? What'd you pay them?
Caller/Guest
88.
John Clay Wolf
88? 88,000. Yeah.
Caller/Guest
I think the paint job alone was 30,000.
John Clay Wolf
I understand, but it's just that you watched a couple of trucks sell at auctions for 200 grand and you think you have a truck like that. And I'm telling you the differences. I learned this the hard way, too. I've got a truck that looks like a $400,000 truck that sold a Barrett two years ago. I've got the mimic to it, and it's 80 grand because it doesn't have those things I'm talking about. Because those things I'm talking about, like that motor, I'm talking is 50, 60 grand right out of the gate with the transmission, the chassis, another 50 grand installed and everything. There's a hundred. There's just different components. Components. But it sounds like you have a beautiful truck. And if you want to. If you want to sell it for probably 70, 80, go to givemetheven.com and send us pictures. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio mike in Arkansas. 23 Tacoma off road 90,000 miles once. 23 grand. I need to ask you too many questions. It takes a bunch of time. So just go to givemetheven.com and load it up. 87 soft top. CJ. What is it a CJ? It says Wrangler. Yeah. Okay. Wants eight grand. Clarence, is your wrangler lifted?

John Clay Wolf
Hey, Cash, you ever been on national radio before? Not national stations, yes, local stations. Yeah, a lot more, Mikey. His. Okay. We're sitting here with Cash from Shelby America. We're sitting in his booth live at Barrett Jackson, Scottsdale, Arizona. Super, super, super Saturday. They just opened the doors. And what is this car, boss man that I'm sitting next to? Because everybody walks over and takes pictures of it.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Oh, that's. That's a special car. So that's part of the Jackson family collection that was actually owned by Brian Jackson. So Barrett Jackson, now we've got Brian Jackson, his brother. And the car now resides with actually Craig Jackson's kids. When he passed, he put it in the trust for the kids. And that is actually one of the our models. And he raced it when he. When he was basically found the car and took it. Vintage racing.
John Clay Wolf
When did all this start? When did the Shelby America brand. They were doing it before the Ford release relationship, weren't they?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
They were doing their forward relationship, right.
John Clay Wolf
If.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
If you watch the movie and everything else basically with the Cobras. Well, Carroll was racing way before that, had the stint at Aston Martin and, you know, wen Le mans. And then he came up with a crazy idea. Let's take a very light car, shove a big engine with horsepower into it, and go racing. And that was kind of the birth of the cobra, the early 60s. And as Ford then came to him to apply, create the partnership, during the 60s, he worked with the GT40 program.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
And then part of the team was actually looking at the production cars. So then when the Mustang came to be and we wanted to take it racing, or Carol wanted to take it racing at the time to show that it wasn't just, as they put it, a secretary's car, the GT350 was born.
John Clay Wolf
How many models are y' all building right now? Three.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
We've got three models on the Mustang side. So we produce a GT350, which was just announced this year at Barrett in January. We have our super Snake product that we've had for many years in the lineup, purchased through the dealerships. And then in Monterrey, we announced the ssr, the base of the super Snake R, which is taking the super Snake and evolving it more for the track. Wide body, wider track, different suspension, track tuned. And where you have a typical spring, slash, strut setup. This is a true coilover with the spring and shred in one piece.
John Clay Wolf
Is there one here?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
We got two in the booth. So you're kind of staring at one right here.
John Clay Wolf
This one is one.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Yeah. The white one and then the carbonized gray.
JD Ryan
What's the sticker on that one?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
225. 250 is kind of the top end if you hit all the options.
John Clay Wolf
Wow. What's the new one that Ford?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
The gtd.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Have you all compared it yet? No.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Different animals.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Different animals.
John Clay Wolf
Mustang gtd is it. It's Ford ZR one kind of deal that they just rolled out on the Mustang. And the sticker on that is. It's a lot.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
It is.
John Clay Wolf
It's.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
I think it starts at 375.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
And then depending on the options and so on, it's. It's its own animal. It's a beast. Loved watching the videos from new brewing. We have our ssr, not necessarily to compete more or less. We kind of polish the blue oval where we can. But yeah, that. That car. I'd like to see more of those out and maybe at one time get a chance to drive one.
John Clay Wolf
How are the. We're sitting here with Cash. He's the spokesman for or one of the spokesmans for Shelby America, and we're in his booth at Barrett Jackson here in Scottsdale, Arizona. It's super Saturday. They do just opened the doors. The people are starting to come in, and we're going over some of the Shelby products in the history of Carroll Shelby racing. And how are the trucks selling?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Trucks do extremely well. Believe it or not, even though we're go fast Mustang, let's make up about 85% of our sales.
John Clay Wolf
Do they really? Yep. Yep.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
And kind of similar to Ford trucks in my prior life, the sales and marketing director for Shelby. But prior to that, I was with ford for about 18 years. Last position I worked with Ford performance. And same thing at Ford, kind of. You've got the go fast Mustangs. But the truck side of the business is exorbitant.
John Clay Wolf
80% of y' all sales are those Shelby trucks. And, you know, we buy and sell cars. We buy and sell 50,000 cars a year. Give me the ven. Right. And I see our auction lanes, and I just see more and more of these Shelby trucks. And it's always a difficult truck to bid because it depends on the build. There's different versions. Like what? So like, if you just take the VIN, right? You just get an F150 VIN, then we've got to add and praise the build that y' all did on it accurately. And there's about three different stages.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Well, not three different stages necessarily, but basically the build of it. So there is a lower truck and then a lifted off road truck. These are underneath the FT F150 line. And then you. Then you get into the Super Duty.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Which is our kind of Raptor version of the Super Duty. Then you also have the Raptor R, which is our package for the Raptor.
John Clay Wolf
I did not know that. Yep.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Raptor R. We launched actually October here.
John Clay Wolf
Hang on.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Last year.
John Clay Wolf
Every Raptor R we've had is a Shelby converted Raptor.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
No, no, no. So you've had a Raptor R and then we actually have a package on top of that. We'll take that to about close to a thousand horsepower minor to.
John Clay Wolf
You take a Raptor R and Shelby it. Yep. Okay. And what do you do to bump up the horses on it? Did you change the superchargers? Superchargers? Superchargers.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
That's the name of the game, right. Whipple did a fantastic thing. They went out and emissions certified all their superchargers, which they were the first company to do. So kind of going to the new rules and regulations in 24. So if you notice Shelby, our competitors or actually partner, I don't know how you look at it, but Hennessy RTR and all that, everyone uses a Whipple supercharger. Ford Performance uses a Whipple Supercharger because they were kind of the only name in the game when it came to certification.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
As you know. Certification meaning missions emission certification.
John Clay Wolf
Yep, yep. Especially in California.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Especially in California.
John Clay Wolf
Good morning, California.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
It's a little special.
John Clay Wolf
It's tough.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Yeah, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
There's a reason that like Barrett doesn't have an auction in California and Mecham really only has one is California rules are tough. And when you're selling cars at auction in California, all this emission stuff we're talking about and the lawsuits are just forget it. It's not worth trying.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Yeah, unfortunately it's hard for the consumer.
John Clay Wolf
Sure.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
It's hard for the consumer. The market, you know, you want a free market to dictate whatever the consumer wants and then you kind of regulate off of that. In the case of California, California really regulating their market, which then dictates to the customer what they can and can, well, basically can't do. And we have a lot of customers that want to take our products in. And we have to explain what a green state is versus a brown state. And more and more states are turning green. Some have actually reverted back. Nevada was one where they passed to go Green. And they realized, I guess, the difficulties in some of the. What it does to the market. And they've reverted back for this year.
John Clay Wolf
Sitting here with cash from Shelby America. Yes. Carroll shelby. Shelby Mustangs GT500. The Shelby you're thinking of. And. Yeah, I just had an idea. And do y' all have anything in Dallas? Do you have any demo units in Dallas?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
We do not.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. I was gonna say you should send one next. We're having this big event in about a month in Walnut Springs, and. Okay. And good guys are coming, and Foose is coming and Rollins is coming and. And I didn't know if you had any discipline and she could. You want to run down and. But I get it. Y. I've walked the. I've done the tour with Gary Patterson in. In your Vegas facility. And if. If you're a Shelby fanatic and you're in Vegas, if you're a Mustang fan, you need to go walk through this museum they have, because it is unbelievable.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Yeah. I. I'd add if you're an enthusiast of our lifestyle, if you like cars, because you can walk into the factory, right. We've got the museum open to the public. It's free. But also you can look through the windows and see cars get built.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
So if you ever wanted to see, you know, what. What it takes to build one of our Mustangs, you can look right through a window. Cars are half in pieces. We don't just do stickers and scoops. You will see, you know, cooling systems, tops of motors coming off. There are a lot. It's a lot that goes into these cars.
John Clay Wolf
So you do more than Roush. Does it just do cosmetics? Because every time we bid a Roush is like, what is this? Is this a real one or just the stickers and scoops? Because it's true, right?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Because yeah, Roush has different stages where we. Our stage is just what you get.
Mike Turley
Real, real.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, Cash. Thanks for coming in, guys. And we will rejoin in just a minute live from the Shelby booth at the Barrett Jackson auto auction. It is super Saturday. Come down and check out some of these Shelby's and everything else here in the vendor facility. Be right back. All you wanna do is ride around salad.

Prek Bobo
They did not, actually.
JD Ryan
Why you sound so disappointed?
Prek Bobo
No, I'm sorry. I was looking up the story.
Mike Turley
They really didn't.
Prek Bobo
They didn't die.
Mike Turley
Oh, my God.
Prek Bobo
Terrifying, though, man. The helicopter spun out in Huntington Beach, California. Woman caught it all on camera. The helicopter comes down like it's going to land. Then it looks like the tail rotor failed. So the pilot tried to take it back up and of course lost control and brought it down. Here's the audio from that lady that happened to be videotaping. And cut three.
John Clay Wolf
He changed his mind. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
JD Ryan
Nothing blew up or anything like that.
Prek Bobo
Nothing blew up. The blessing, if you will, is they landed in some palm trees. So they kind of braced them a little bit and slowed them down from.
John Clay Wolf
Hitting the tail rotor. Clip a tree? No, they just don't fail.
Prek Bobo
They can, though. In this case, he was. It looks like he was up in the air that it did not clip the tree. That's what it looks like.
Mike Turley
Kind of like flew off, didn't it?
Prek Bobo
The rotor. I didn't see that part of the video.
Mike Turley
I saw. I saw a lot of videos of it. Man, they were so close to that hotel. You wonder what they were trying to do.
Prek Bobo
Well, land.
JD Ryan
You can see it on another crash Baldwin.
Mike Turley
Oh, there's the video.
John Clay Wolf
Right. JCW show.
Prek Bobo
Yeah, we have the video showing up.
John Clay Wolf
Alec Baldwin crashed in a very Baldwin as style. Did anybody die in that one?
Prek Bobo
No. He was driving his wife hilarious range rover and wet the wet roads in the Hamptons. Basically. What happened? A big old trash truck pulled up in front of him and kind of they were pulling over to do what trash trucks do. And it looks like Ellen, Alec Baldwin wasn't paying attention. So he spotted kind of turned off to the right and hit a tree. This is cut number four. Listen. He says he wasn't. Of course. Listen to the way he describes this, though.
John Clay Wolf
What's he supposed to say?
Prek Bobo
I wasn't drunk at all this morning.
Mike Turley
I was in this car accident guy.
John Clay Wolf
Cut me off in a truck. Big garbage truck.
Prek Bobo
I made a garbage truck the size of a whale.
John Clay Wolf
I've never seen a garbage truck.
Prek Bobo
It must have been something commercial for.
John Clay Wolf
Like taking away material from construction or something.
JD Ryan
It was the.
John Clay Wolf
The biggest garbage truck I've ever seen in the. Anyway, to avoid hitting him, I. I hit a tree. I hit a big fat tree and crushed my car, my wife's car, but.
Prek Bobo
It'S all fine, and I'm fine and my brother's fine and bobbity blah. My wife's car is pretty smashed up. Big tree, big fat tree, bobbity bop.
Mike Turley
So this morning, John, we're listening to this, this audio this morning. Early, Early.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Yeah.
Mike Turley
I get like at 5:30, and Turley says he's talking kind of like Trump there. Exactly.
Prek Bobo
Totally like Trump. Maybe a little fat tree.
JD Ryan
Big beautiful tree.
Prek Bobo
Biggest tree in my life. Biggest, biggest, Biggest trash truck I've ever seen. Biggest whale. It's the biggest trash truck on the planet.
Mike Turley
Two hours later, J.D. ryan comes back and we're working in the tech room. And I play the cut for him and he says, you know, he's talking kind of like Donald Trump here. I was like, wow, so two people have said that to me in two hours. They made it and now I can't unhear it. I can't unhear it.
Prek Bobo
You can't tell me. Big fat. He says big fat tree twice, and he says, trash truck as big as a whale trash truck ever.
Mike Turley
This garbage truck look like I've never seen one like it before. It's like. It's like a garbage truck like nobody no one's ever seen before.
JD Ryan
Beautiful trash.
Mike Turley
Maybe. Maybe an industrial garbage truck pulls out in front of me. So I swear to hit it, and I hit a big fat tree. Yeah, this big fat tree. Big, fat, beautiful tree.
Prek Bobo
So they didn't get hurt? No. The answer is no.
Mike Turley

People that could have gotten hurt.
John Clay Wolf
Talk about this.
Prek Bobo
Go ahead. I'm sorry.
John Clay Wolf
I want to talk about the mechanic that can't believe the 2017 Camry. Why is that such a big deal? Why did that make our news?
Mike Turley
The video doesn't hurt it, but this guy's like an. An everyday work a day blue Collar mechanic guy, somebody brings him a 2017 camera just. Just for tune up. Okay. And when he sees the condition of the car, I mean, you just got to hear the video, y'.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
All.
Mike Turley
Someone brought in their Camry out of the vault to come get service today. This is a 2017 Camry. I'm going to show you the dash and I want you to go ahead and lock in your answer for what you think the mileage on the this vehicle is.
John Clay Wolf
You ready?
Mike Turley
Whatever number you came up with just now is wrong because it's only got 1,138 miles on it. This could be sold as a demo model. Are you kidding me? This car has not been touched. Yeah, it's crazy.
John Clay Wolf
They.
Mike Turley
They open the hood and it's like a toy in there. It's all perfect silver, shiny, perfect and new. Eleven hundred miles, John, on a 2017 Camry.
John Clay Wolf
Probably 13 grand. It's not old enough to get crazy yet with. With low miles, but. But that's still a lot of money for it, probably. No, it's probably 20. It's a lot. But those crazy low mile cars, like that 42 mile Blazer. Actually, hoovy just walked up, so we're gonna have him on a minute and we'll talk. He's got guys, if you don't know Tyler Hoovie from Hoovy's Garage, he's kind of like me, but he's all YouTube and not radio. And he's very into cars. Very popular YouTube youtuber and does a car channel. And he'll be on in just a minute. All right, 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Is Joe Exotic calling in today at 10?
Prek Bobo
Nope, we went ahead and bumped him because you had the other guy from Good Guys Car show same time. So we pushed him off, bumped him twice.
JD Ryan
Now next week you got to have.
John Clay Wolf
Him on is a Hoovy.
Mike Turley
John, you've had Hoovy on. On the show before, haven't you?
John Clay Wolf
I don't know if he's ever called it or not. I know Ed from Vinwiki has. I saw him yesterday a couple times.
Mike Turley
I mean, he's a YouTube guy.
John Clay Wolf
He's not gonna.
Mike Turley
He's not gonna curse a lot, is he?
John Clay Wolf
No, he might. He might. He's pretty wild.
Mike Turley
Be ready.
John Clay Wolf
Curse.
JD Ryan
Like what J.D. would do. This baby crying story.
Prek Bobo
Oh, dear God. This story makes me nuts. The viral videos going around. Basically kind of a real life situation. You've been in a restaurant, the baby's crying, okay? And this guy Basically says, ma', am, can you either be make the baby be quiet or leave the restaurant? She decides, of course to get her camera out and say he's a grown adult, he can leave the restaurant.
Caller/Guest
Shut up.
Prek Bobo
Cut number seven.
John Clay Wolf
So this gentleman here is telling me to tell my 8 month old yes, to stop screaming.
Prek Bobo
Yes, tell your baby to stop because.
Caller/Guest
He has sensitive ears. I know it's loud, but he's an adult. He can leave. Not to leave.
John Clay Wolf
He's choosing me to tell me to take my baby out because he has. She's a child, sir. It's not me. I didn't do anything. You're causing this whole restaurant to have.
JD Ryan
To hear our discussion.
John Clay Wolf
They don't want to eat that.
Caller/Guest
They want to keep their.
John Clay Wolf
You came to me about my child, did you not? You can't remove yourself from this restaurant.
Caller/Guest
No.
John Clay Wolf
You're disrespectful, you're entitled and you're being privileged right now. Now I'm not responsible.
Prek Bobo
There we go.
John Clay Wolf
For the way that men have probably mistreated you in the past. Me, I'm. I'm a happy married woman. What are you talking about, baby? I'm 10 years next week, so no one has mistreated me. You've been disrespectful.
Prek Bobo
Oh my God. Oh, drives me nuts. You get that kid and get him out of here. I'm paying to see.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, speaking of weird stuff, I'll tell you something weird I noticed at Texas Tech. I went up to LCK last weekend and I'm going to go to that game this afternoon out in Arizona. Turley, have you seen this tortilla thing?
JD Ryan
Oh, they've been doing that for years, since the 90s.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. I haven't been following it, but I was there yet last week and I saw the tortilla beat down. And I mean they throw all the tortillas at these Tex games and the Big 12 is starting to find them. And they actually got a penalty last week for a fan throwing a tortilla that hit the sideline.
JD Ryan
Yeah, they, they started that a couple years back when anything was thrown on to the field. They would get a penalty and then they'll start fining them. And the reason this tortillas make it, they freeze them, John.
John Clay Wolf
They've.
JD Ryan
They had. They're like frisbees basically. So you can throw them out there. Yeah, and they did that back in the 90s when they were doing good. That was kind of their thing and it was. Oh, that's fun, you know, Haha. But now it's gotten to the point where.
John Clay Wolf
So it's kind of like Philadelphia. People throwing batteries. Yeah.
JD Ryan
Not quite as bad.
John Clay Wolf
People throwing batteries. Quite as bad.
Prek Bobo
So they're throwing them.
John Clay Wolf
They also. They're frisbeeing them out, but. But they, they tear the middle out so they quarter them up and rip the middle off so there's a hole in the middle so the aerodynamics get more lift and it flies better. And I'm telling you, JD when they YouTube it up, when they do the tortilla thing, I mean, you just see this whole place erupt in tortillas. It really surprised me. It's a fun traditional. Doesn't like it and. Yeah, well, they're finding them and they're. They're giving them penalties now.
JD Ryan
I think if they just keep it in the stands and not frozen and hitting people in the back of the head.
Prek Bobo
Not on the field.
JD Ryan
Yeah, not on the field. It's fun because, I mean, that's. That's part of the college charm. Anything like those traditions, food, I mean, you know, it's. It's Texas Tech. What the hell? I mean, what are they gonna do out there, right?
Prek Bobo
Yeah, they.
John Clay Wolf
They've.
JD Ryan
They found.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of tortillas. Good. Speaking of tortillas, Tricolor. Who? A lot of people have accounts with Tricolor. They bought a lot of cars from Tricolor, which is a big note lot, dealership in house financing. It is a Mexican tsunami, dude. I think it's gonna be like a billion dollars worth of write off.
JD Ryan
What was it J.P. morgan has?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I mean, all the banks are screwed. The guys. It's pretty nasty, but I don't even know if they can take payments. And I don't know if people are still paying. I mean, it. It's billions of dollars of contracts and cars. It is a Mexican tsunami in this tricolor thing. They should be throwing tortillas at the tricolor place. Okay, we'll be right back.

John Clay Wolf
Morning, everybody. Right here we are in Barrett Jackson with Tyler Hoover. I'll get it straight. Just. Oh, you're. Hey, what. What number is he on? Is he on two? I don't even hear him. There he is. There he is. Tyler, can you hear me now? I got you now. Good. Am I too loud on you still?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
You're perfect.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Perfect. That. That's a strong term. We are at Barrett Jackson Super Saturday, Hoovy's Garage. He's a friend of mine and he has a big YouTube channel. It's been inspirational to me to get into this YouTube thing. We were just talking off air. You know, I've been doing this radio show for 20 years, and it was a big part of what started the whole getmetheven.com company. And radio started changing. YouTube started growing, and I'm like, I've got to grow in that area. And he would give me tips. And, you know, you've been a great pal when we talk about things, but you've had a lot of success being a car talker, for lack of a better term. And we were talking off air about, you know, like, the silly thumbnails that we have to do to get. To break through and get people's attention. Right? Stupid faces. Right?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
The Mr. Beastification of YouTube where it kind of forces you to put yourself in the foreground of a photo, making the dumbest face with, you know, something exploding in the background, because that's what everybody's doing. So you have to get the attention.
John Clay Wolf
Right? It reminds me of going to Blockbuster Video and walking the wall and looking at the VHS cover. That's what it is.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
That's our VHS cover.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
The kids will have no idea what you're talking about, but that's exactly what it is.
John Clay Wolf
I want that one.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah. Yeah, but I'm. Yeah, I guess better giving YouTube advice than car buying advice. I'm the roadmap to what not to do. So Ying and Yang here.
John Clay Wolf
Well, when I walked in yesterday to the auction, you were selling some old Chrysler that lost about $7,000 at.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Look, you know, it was fun, and.
John Clay Wolf
You bought it at one auction, you drove it. It's on your channel at Hoovy's Garage. You drove it back to Iowa to your farm, and you lost the transmission in.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Was leaking in a way that fixing it cost more to just put a used transmission in it.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
But what's funny is at this other collector car auction, the buyer was furious. I was talking to him before and went up to the block and he was expecting. I don't know what he's expecting, but when I bought it for 5,500 bucks, he threw a tantrum, cussed up a storm and walked off.
John Clay Wolf
Just. Did you catch that on tape?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
No, unfortunately. Unfortunately and told me it drove great. So then I get it and it's misfiring and won't go more than 40 miles an hour in hills. The heater doesn't work and it's 10 degrees outside. Most miserable drive home of my life. Why I tried to drive it home, I don't know. But then I have to put all this work into it and transmission leaks, get it all running right, get the heater working, air conditioning charged, bring it here. Sells for $6,500. So now we have.
John Clay Wolf
Why didn't you throw a fit?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
We're at two collector car auctions now, right. Where a Frank Sinatra Imperial in somewhat rough driver condition. We have. We have two solid comps. And this guy thought, man, this is. This is six figure car. I don't know, it was ridiculous.
John Clay Wolf
Was it low miles or something?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I mean, 80,000 miles.
John Clay Wolf
No, that's not low miles. Yesterday you bought the. Is it okay to talk about this?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Fine. We can.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
We can hint.
John Clay Wolf
The Breaking Bad. The guy that bought the Breaking Bad car, you bought it from him, I suppose.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah.
JD Ryan
And the Pontiac Aztec.
John Clay Wolf
No, it was an old Cadillac. And I don't remember who drove that car. It sold here yesterday at Barrett Jackson. And I don't remember who drove that in the. In the show Breaking Bad. Do you.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
You don't remember the ending scene? Oh, that Cadillac where he sets up that. That gun?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, that's it.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
That's the Cadillac where takes out everybody while he's ducking on the ground. So he's driving that through the whole last episode and that Cadillac murders everyone.
John Clay Wolf
No, I do. Yeah, it had that robot AR in the back.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yes, One got destroyed in that scene. But then for the whole episode that he's driving around getting everything ready. That's the car. So it's Walter White's Cadillac at the end. You know, the big climactic finish. And you know, somebody paid 40 grand for Happy Gilmore's duster for Happy Gilmore 2, which is. I mean, it's not the first movie. It's the. It's the Netflix one, which, you know, wasn't the same. And, yeah, this one, it's a. The biggest TV show probably of all time since, like, who Shot J.R. you know, that moment, you know? Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
You gave 8,000 for it.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I gave 8 grand for it. For video, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So where will you sell it when you're done?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I don't know.
John Clay Wolf
How do you do that? I mean. I mean, I'm sure you do different things. Like, you just saw that you sold that Chrysler here at Barry yesterday. Do you sell them on. Do your fans buy cars?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah, I'll get a lot of emails where somebody just absolutely has to have it, or some I sell online or something I sell here. So it's just a matter of timing and then where I think is the best place for it or, you know, for me, it's.
John Clay Wolf
It's.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
What's the best way to generate content? Because the making money on cars for me is secondary, thankfully, because I was so bad at it. So it's nice. That bad is good for me where, you know, I lose my butt to get a really bad car. It's a great content machine for me.
John Clay Wolf
If it's a good car, the YouTube money pays for. Some of it, yeah. Some of it. Some of it, yeah.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I mean.
John Clay Wolf
And there's a lot of production costs in those YouTube fields. People like, oh, this guy's making half a million dollars a year on YouTube. Well, that's the income that they might have. But what did it cost to produce all this thing? What did it cost to lose on these cars? What did it cost to travel to make these videos?
Mike Turley
Videos?
John Clay Wolf
It's not free. It's.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
It's not. But, you know, it's. It's been my primary income for, I guess, five years now. And, you know, I have sponsors in every video, so I sell it kind of like a TV show. So it. Yeah, it all works out.
John Clay Wolf
You sold a car to us.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I did, yes. The Cadillac lyric, right? Which you were. Oh, you got all kicking and screaming, oh, I'm not gonna make any money. I watched the sale, and you guys made three grand on it.
John Clay Wolf
I didn't watch it.
Mike Turley
Did it?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah. You made three grand.
John Clay Wolf
We met, advanced three grand. We had to ship it from Kansas, right?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
We had to get all your nasty little fingerprints all over it. Clean it up.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Okay. Okay.
John Clay Wolf
But it advanced three grand.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, that's great.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I mean that's. That's the margin you're looking for.
John Clay Wolf
I'm surprised you haven't sent me a. You didn't send me a text busting my chops over. I did not know that. Well, thanks, hoop. That was really good because those cars have hurt me in the past.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Really.
John Clay Wolf
But we a Cadillac iq. I told my guys, stop buying them. And a guy bought one after I put this. I mean before I put the stop by on them. And we sold it last weekend and it made like $1200.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
It's tough because it's like every month they lose 10%. It's crazy.
John Clay Wolf
They're moving all over the place.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yep.
John Clay Wolf
I'm sitting here with Tyler Hoovie from Hoovy's garage. If you watch the Barrett Jackson auctions, he's the guy on the stage Now. I noticed on the mic you're talking into, it says true tv. Is that where you watch the FYI, FYI yesterday.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
So today is history. So this Saturday for super Saturday and all the big stuff, we're on the history channel.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
And a lot of people are watching a lot of eyeballs. FYI is, you know, a little bit of a, you know, farther off in the cable channel for the other days. But yeah, still on tv. Look at me.
John Clay Wolf
So I was supposed to be here Thursday. I couldn't make it. I have my guy Mike here and I had the live stream in my studio on the auction. Right, the YouTube stream.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
And I'm on the phone with Mike and I'm like, go, No. I say no, no, no.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Based on what you see on tv.
John Clay Wolf
We'd synced it up enough where it was. It was about a 10 second delay. So I knew that I was 10 seconds behind him. So the bid, he was buying cars for me. And I'm on the phone talking to him and I'm saying no. And it's so loud. And he's hearing go, go, go.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Oh no.
John Clay Wolf
But you know, I got to that. That's what happened on that mopar, the one you called me or you texted me, said, golly, this thing was a little rough, John.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Uh huh. I mean, you know, it has the right bones. I feel like the body's not terrible. It does have the modern hemi in it.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
It was like kind of stanced all wrong.
John Clay Wolf
I'm gonna have to sit the. I'm gonna have to change the suspension.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah. I don't know if it's the lighter engine. So it's sitting up higher. And they just never fixed It. So it's like an incomplete project, I would say.
JD Ryan
Oh, another project, John.
Mike Turley
We don't.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
We don't sell. I mean, they'll turn cars down all the time at Barrett Jackson that aren't worthy. And I've seen it before where something pulls in and they, you know, to get dropped off.
John Clay Wolf
It's not good enough to be.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
No, we're not doing this. Other auctions.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
You know, if we can push across the block, we'll sell it. But. Yeah, so, I mean, the bones are there. It's gonna take some work.
John Clay Wolf
So I think we would. We do a lightning round our middle segment of every hour, and it's coming up after we get done here. And I think it would be fun for you to take some calls from around the country on hoopties.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Are you gonna. Can I bid cars?
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Then you have to buy them. Like, if I say if somebody wants a 2002 Ford Taurus and I say 100 grand, would you have to write the check?
John Clay Wolf
I know because you would say it. So. So let's do this. Anything we buy, anything we buy off this light. If we get anything exciting, we'll partner them. Unless you want it for yourself.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Okay.
John Clay Wolf
But no. Do I want you to overbid them? That I get stuck with them, and I do not want that to happen. But if you call. If you call in now. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio and start getting on hold. Give the phone screen of your info. We're going to have the hooptie king, Tyler hoovie bid some hoopties right here. He's going to replace me on national radio, and he's going to be. But. But some interesting cars. Some interesting cars like Frank Sinatra, Chrysler and purifier. Who was the golf player that did the Lincoln?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Oh, Jack Nicklaus edition. I had the Lincoln town car where it's the green carpets to look like, you know, a golf green and the white leather seats to make it look like a golfer's glove. And I had one, and it was 500 bucks. And, like, I teed off the roof and fell off the thing and, like, made a little miniature putting course inside. And it was actually a good driving car. I gave it away, you know, for subscribers years ago.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah, but cool car. I mean, there's always been these designer series, but Frank Sinatra just wanted to help out Lee iacoccu, who just came to Chrysler, and Chrysler had gone bankrupt the first time, and so, you know, he lent his name, shot a commercial, came up with original song all this for $1 just to help out Chrysler America and all that stuff. And he got the first one of those off the line, and it had this digital fuel injection system, and it broke down on him endlessly. Sinatra. So he got so pissed off, he like, take my name off these. Damn. Like, I don't want. So. And they actually had to recall all of them. Take off the digital fuel injection, put old carburetors back on them. It was one of the biggest failures. Oh, really?
John Clay Wolf
But this is what Hoover loves. So if you have a weird one you want to call in, he may buy it from you just to use one of his videos. Because you love the intricate, weird failure oddities. Edsel kind of odd stuff. That's your gig. He's not. He's not looking. You will buy some. Some heavy cars, too, but a lot of times if you buy heavy cars, you buy them with a story. Anyway, we're going to get right back to this in just a minute. Call in now if you want Tyler Hoover to bid your hoopty at 800. 872 348-800-radio. We're live here in the Shelby booth. Barrett Jackson, October auction. It's super Saturday in Scottsdale, Arizona. We'll be right back.
Show Announcer
Now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevent.com hit him up right now. 1, 800, 800, radio. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf show.
John Clay Wolf
And this is the Lightning round. I'm sitting here with Tyler Hoover from Hoovy's Garage, the hoopty king. He likes weird old stuff. So, Hoovy, I'm gonna let you talk to Jake in Milwaukee. I don't know what the hell this is. A 78AMC Concord. Jake, are you there?
Caller/Guest
Yes, sir, I am.
John Clay Wolf
Go ahead. Hi.
Caller/Guest
So I've got a 78AMC Concord. DL. It's got just over 50,000 miles. It's a true survivor. It's been through four states, and I recently had it at the AMC homecoming. I'm 28, and I've got a couple other AMCs.
John Clay Wolf
I don't have him in my ear. Oh, you don't have him in your ear?
JD Ryan
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, switch with me. Okay.
JD Ryan
Standby caller. He just had a.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
So sorry, Jake.
JD Ryan
Say the story again.
John Clay Wolf
Jake. Hey, how you doing?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Just fine.
Caller/Guest
So my name is Jake. I'm 28. I'm an EMT here in Milwaukee. I'm an avid AMC collector, and I've got a 78AMC Concord. It's a DL. It's the first year it came out. It's got just over 50,000 miles on it. It's the golden Ginger with the landau top. It's got all original paint, original interior. No cuts, no nothing in the interior. It's got the original hubcaps on it. It's been taken to the AMC homecoming. It's been tried and true. It's definitely a true survivor. It's got its little nickels and dents here and there, but it's great.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah. Because that's when, you know, they came out with something luxurious. But it was also small because of the gas crunch. And then naming it sort. I mean, they didn't want to get in trouble calling it the Concorde with the E at the end. Right. So they call it the Concorde, making it luxurious, you know, speed of sound, you know, kind of car. And, you know, it's just a very malaise era thing. So. Yeah, my assertion, my buddy Euro Asian.
Caller/Guest
Looks like a Cadillac, right?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I know. Yeah, they're definitely goofy, fun cars. Yeah. My buddy Euroasian Bob just went through an AMC collection and we featured the one in the video because he. He got one of Those last run AMXs, I think, from 1979 or so. With all the graphics on it.
Caller/Guest
Yes, sir.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
And that's actually a pretty fun car to drive.
Caller/Guest
They're amazing. They're really underrated.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah. So what are you thinking for that?
Caller/Guest
I've been asking 6,000 and I haven't had any interest in it. I don't want to let it just go, you know, for. For nothing. But I've got a 65 classic and a 72 gremlin I'm trying to build into a dragster. But I love them. But I'd like to let this one go to somebody that's going to use it a little bit more and appreciate. And appreciate it.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Well, yeah, I appreciate it. I mean, yeah, that's the thing. There's so few of these. What are they worth?
John Clay Wolf
What's the rust situation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin?
Caller/Guest
So this car originally was built here in Wisconsin, went to Illinois, then spent most his life in Missouri, and a couple months it came back. It's been thoroughly gone through. It's got all the original undercoating still on it. The only specks of rust are on the rear quarters. And it's just starting to scab a little bit. That's it. That's the only part of rust on it. The floor is everything. The rails are all good. The engine bay is solid. Everything is perfect on it.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
But rust is. I mean, any rust Is just a big turn off.
John Clay Wolf
Just a touch of cancer.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I know. It's just. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Just got a little. Little cancer tag on my skin. And they dig in and remove half your arm.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
That's tough. So just find another one. But that's the problem, you know, for me and, you know, YouTube content perspective, to make a one and done video for like, three grand would be fun. But that's obviously quite a bit less, actually.
John Clay Wolf
You know, you're so much nicer than me.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Oh, what are you thinking?
John Clay Wolf
Oh, no, no. I'm thinking that. But the way you deliver that message is just so nice and polished because I'm like, three grand, Take it or leave it. Whatever. Well, geez. I know. I just get too busy.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I'm good cop, bad cop here. Yeah. So I'd like to make a video with it. It'd be fun. Jockley Wolf.
John Clay Wolf
That's a piece of junk.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I'd be giving you a gift for three grand.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Jeez.
Caller/Guest
Well, unfortunately, I did call ahead of the. The hoopty hotline. I've been on hold for an hour and a half. It's definitely not a hooptie. But, I mean, I'd let it go for 5,000. It's. It's definitely a Survivor collector. AMCs are underrated. And I understand, you know, three grand is probably what you're looking at to kind of redo it and do a video.
John Clay Wolf
But I understand I'm sitting here looking at one on bring a trailer that just sold for 4400.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Did you see that?
Caller/Guest
A lot of them have had a lot of redo. I've had a lot of work done on them. This one hasn't had any. It's. It's got all the original parts. It's got the carburetor rebuilt on it. All the lines have been flushed and gone through. The tank is still good on it. There's, you know, only a little nicks and dents. And like I said, the only scabbing on literally the. The lowest part of the rear quarters.
John Clay Wolf
Do this. Why don't you drive it down from Milwaukee to Hoovy's place in Iowa?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
It's Kansas.
John Clay Wolf
Kansas don't do that same thing. And delivered 3500.
Caller/Guest
I couldn't do it. Not that well. I'm sorry. I appreciate it, though.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Well, thank you for calling in. We tried.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Cool car. Yeah. And that I saw on the Bring a trailer. The wagon versions. That'd be really neat, right? Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Brings a little bit more. Yeah. We will be right back. Myself, Tyler Hoover we're here at Barrett Jackson Super Saturday at the Shelby booth in Scottsdale, Arizona. I'm having to think of all these things. That's why I'm hesitating. Everybody hang tight. We'll be right back. We're gonna play a song on your local affiliate. Good morning, California. Good morning, Las Vegas. Good morning, Denver, Kansas City. I'm glad your team is waking up. Up, Dallas Cowboys. Our team still sucks in Houston. Houston's Houston. We'll be right back.

The John Clay Wolf Show.
John Clay Wolf
Arby's is releasing their new first of its kind steak nuggets that they claim are an easy to eat way to have steaks with no knife needed and forked optional. Arby's has liberated us from the tyranny of utensils. We are finally free to eat our meat as God intended, in big, saucy hunks with our bare hands, hovering over a trash can in the dark.
Show Announcer
This is the John Clay Wolf show. Hit him up 800-800-RADIO and check out the podcast@jcwshow.com Good morning, everybody.
John Clay Wolf
We're live in Scottsdale, Arizona from Barrett Jackson. We're sitting in the Shelby booth. As soon as you walk in the entry, come by and say hi. And I've got Tyler Hoover from Hoovy's Garage sitting next to me. You can see him if you go to our YouTube stream@jcwshow.com. his YouTube channel is hooviesgarage.com Tyler, you like weird cars? You like old supercars. Did you see this yet? No. Good. I'm withholding information.
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Okay?
John Clay Wolf
So I purchased a car and it's cleared. We're gonna go pick it up right now in Kansas City. I mean, you and I are going right now.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Just a few hours from me.
John Clay Wolf
You're gonna like this. Okay, so I buy this car, make the deal on it three weeks ago and paid for it two weeks ago. And then they called and said it won't start, so they sent it to the mechanic. And it needs a fuel bladder.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
The bladders, yes.
John Clay Wolf
And this and that in the bill.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I already know what it is.
John Clay Wolf
What?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Jaguar XJ220. There it is.
Prek Bobo
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
Did you cheat?
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
No.
John Clay Wolf
Really? No. Yeah. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. I've got one.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
How about.
John Clay Wolf
So we chopped the price back and we're gonna pick it up as a non runner.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
And you said old supercars and fuel bladders and I know, yeah, that's a big job, the fuel bladders.
John Clay Wolf
The bill was big. Yeah. So I'm gonna take it out to the ranch and get the mechanics to start messing with it and try to fix it. And then we're gonna have to bring in some old guy from England to actually do this properly. And I'm gonna be messing with this for a year, I'm sure. But it'll make a good video.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
It'll make a great. I mean that's, that is one of my bucket list cars.
John Clay Wolf
I knew.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
So, you know, I just got the gull wing, so I'm wounded. Otherwise I would be like jumping up and down, I'd be like, give it to me. Yeah, but damn, that thing's awesome. That's the fastest car in the world for a minute.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
And then the McLaren F1 just overshadowed and everybody's.
John Clay Wolf
But you know, if I'm gonna have a car that I'm gonna be sitting on repairing for a while, that one's okay because I believe it's undervalued. And I think the Ford, the last GT that they brought out with the six cylinder, twin turbo is helping this because the reason that this thing was always kind of frowned upon is it was a six cylinder instead of a 12 or at least an 8.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Well, you'll see why, because I think that the people that have the parts forms kind of, there's these, you know, it's a little harder to keep these things going, but maybe you'll find out that it's easier. But yeah, I totally agree. Where McLaren F1 is $15 million, $20 million.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
And then this is, you know, half. Half a million dollars. Yeah. Or, you know, it's, it's, it's.
John Clay Wolf
So do you think that if you were going to put a million dollar target on this car in time, what time hold do you think that would be? We're just speculating here.
JD Ryan
We don't know.
John Clay Wolf
You don't know? I don't know. But, but we all have, we have decent.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I'm gonna say never.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I don't, I don't think.
John Clay Wolf
You don't think this car ever turns into a million dollar car?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I don't, I don't think so. I think it's just going to be so specialized in particular. And then also Jaguar has kind of screwed themselves a bit with their, you know, rebranding and relaunch. So the Heritage just isn't going to be there.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
So it's going to be an interesting, you know, piece of history. I mean, you think about, like, the older Bugatti's, like the. The Pre Veyrons, the EB110s and all that stuff. They didn't get too crazy just because they're so weird. Yeah, but I could be wrong. I mean, it could be. I mean, it's gonna be an expensive.
John Clay Wolf
Car forever, but can your guy do the bladder? No. Okay. Because I was gonna. I'll just send it up to you. You're starting to scare me off.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
No, I've seen Curated in Miami, another great YouTube channel.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
And they do a lot of countages and things. I've seen them actually actively doing fuel bladders on one of those.
John Clay Wolf
And what do you think the bill will be on that?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I think it's like the drivetrain out to reach these bladders and all that stuff. I think it's. It's.
John Clay Wolf
I think it's 50 grand. Yeah. 50.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
100. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, oh, oh. 50 on the low side.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah. By the time they get it out and say, oh, it needs this, this, this, and this. And then let's go to the Jaguar XJ220 gatekeeper parts, and. And see what he says. And, yeah, this gasket I'd like $3,000 for. And then you'll be like, okay, that's. That was fun.
JD Ryan
We're showing a photo of it right now on the YouTube page.
John Clay Wolf
Yep. So it was the Jaguar supercar. I'm sitting here with Tyler Hoover of Hoovy's Garage, and we're talking about this car. Give me the vin. Just bought it. Is a. It was the fastest car production car in the world in 92, 93.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Very jealous.
John Clay Wolf
I called Corolla. Adam is a good friend of mine. Do you remember him? Yeah, yeah, of course. And he's. He's a nerd, right?
Steve Bunker (Good Guys Car Shows)
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
And we were talking about this, and he suggested that I get a race car professional to help me with it because they are so well versed in bladders. Not a bad idea, because a lot of these stock cars, race cars, are bladder cars instead of tank cars.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Right?
John Clay Wolf
Sounds good in theory. We'll see.
JD Ryan
Are you gonna fly somebody in for England? For real?
John Clay Wolf
I don't know what I'm gonna do. We're gonna drag it out to the ranch and we're gonna take it apart. We're gonna look at it, realize that it's above our pay grade, and we're gonna have to bring somebody in to fix this properly and put them up at the ranch. But the funny part about it is we're gonna have one of the premier supercars in the world sitting in the middle of a deer lease in a shop in Texas with rednecks turning wrenches on it. And then we're all going to stop, say, we can't do this. We're not worthy, and then bring some pros in to do it.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
It was kind of like the McLaren F1, where it's one guy flying around with a computer, you know, from the early 90s, to service and fix these things. So, yeah, I don't. It's definitely not that crazy, but it should be fun. I look forward to the videos, that's for sure. You better make making videos.
JD Ryan
Will it be on showcase at the Rattle and Roll car show?
John Clay Wolf
It will. I'm gonna. I'm gonna have it dropped at the. At the garage in town so that it can be on display November night. November 15th. Rattle and roll car show. This little town that we bought, didn't buy the town, bought a lot of real estate in the town. It's like a little ghost town. And myself and another man named Glenn Wilson bought most of downtown and we rehabbed it all. Bringing it back up in November 15th, we're having. Chip Foose has come into town. Richard Rollins, Ralph Barbosa, I don't know if you know him. He's. He's a famous comedian, and he's into cars. Dennis Collins, you might know who Dennis is. And they're coming, and the good guys are coming, and they're bringing their people. This will be a big one. And then the next weekend, guys, if you're setting your calendars in. In Walnut Springs, Adam Carolla is going to do comedy show at the Rattlesnake Roadhouse. My boot scooter in comedy club in this. It's just a weird setup. I'm trying to build. Car town. Radiator Springs. Walnut Springs. It's an hour south of the Metroplex, and it's in beautiful hill country. We've been doing these events and trying to create a place. I've got more ideas that I don't even want to share because they're so. You do some goofy things. You went out to Iowa, Kansas, and bought a farm.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Correct.
John Clay Wolf
Built a shop. It's ironic. You and I didn't know each other, and what we're doing is very similar. You mean your shop and my shop are just. I mean, the whole thing was very similar. So hoovy Buys a farm out in the middle of nowhere, builds a white shop just like ours, Sets up his stage, sets up his cars, does his videos out there. Runs around to these small town guys trying to get stuff worked on. It's very similar. I wasn't copying you, I swear to God.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Yeah, many have. And, you know, he's accusing.
John Clay Wolf
I promise I wasn't.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
No, you have a goal of making money on cars and buying and selling and doing that. And I'm just. I just make a fool out of myself. That's. That's my job.
John Clay Wolf
We were talking on the phone one day and I was showing him my shop and he was showing me his shop. I was like, oh, my God, this is so similar. Well, you built your studio and I.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
You tacked on extra to make like a little condo.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, we've got a condo for the guys to come, and they're in it right now back at the studio. We've got our air studio and. But yeah, go to Hoovies Garage and look it up on YouTube. How many years have you been making these videos?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
Almost 10 years.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I wish I would have started earlier. It's hard to build a channel.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
It was more easy for me back then because I was riding for Autotrader, right? And they're like, hey, make some videos with it. Like, you know, just about sort of summarize your articles that you're writing. And so I did one and I submitted it to them and then, oh, we can't post this on Autotrader. It's terrible. Maybe, maybe put it on your YouTube channel like your own. Like, start one.
John Clay Wolf
Right. Okay.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
I didn't know YouTube was a thing. So then I started doing that.
John Clay Wolf
That's funny. Hoovie's got to go. He's gonna go get on the stage and get warmed up and stretched out to be the MC or one of the MCs of the MC of Barrett Jackson Super Saturday. You can watch it on the History Channel live today. And you can also go to their YouTube page and watch the auction live. And you'll be doing that until 7 o' clock tonight. What time y' all wrap?
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
8 o'.
John Clay Wolf
Clock. It'll be a long one.
Tyler Hoover (Hoovy's Garage)
You'll be sitting the front row, buying cars.
John Clay Wolf
I. I try. Yeah, I've got to leave early because I'm going to the Texas Tech Arizona game. Oh, I know it. Eight o', clock, though. It's gonna go late. I might come back because that game starts early. All right, good. Good to know, dude. Thanks for stopping by. It's been a pleasure. It's a fun time and I appreciate the friendship. Absolutely. I'll see you soon. Thank you, guys. We'll be right back after this break.
Show Announcer
We now return to the the John Clay Wolf Show, America's largest weekend morning Show. Call in 800-800-RADIO and check out the podcast@jcwshow.com and we're back.
John Clay Wolf
We're here in the Shelby booth at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona. Super Saturday. Hooby just left. He's going to go do the, do the announcing for the auction that starts here in a little bit. I'm going to go in there and try to buy some cars. Texas Tech is playing out here today against Arizona. A lot of great games on the college football schedule here today across the country. Way more so than the NFL games tomorrow, in my opinion. Mike, have we done our NFL picks yet?
JD Ryan
No, we haven't. We'll get to them real quick right now, in fact, quick scoring update while we're away. I'm looking for this music. Vanderbilt down 10 to 7 to LSU. You picked LSU in that game.
John Clay Wolf
LSU. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I feel better already.
JD Ryan
I know you're saying you're down on the NFL. And you know what? There's been a lot of parody, that's for sure, this year. So it's gonna be interesting to see who's gonna be in the Super Bowl. Our picks, first game right off the top at noon on fox. Philadelphia Eagles are four and two at Minnesota. Minnesota, who's three and two, Eagles, are favored by two and a half. John, They've lost two in a row. Can they lose three in a row? Which I don't think they've done that in a long time.
John Clay Wolf
I've got, I've got the Eagles.
JD Ryan
Damn it. That's my pick, too.
John Clay Wolf
I got it first.
JD Ryan
Okay, then move the line. The line's two and a half, Eagles favored.
John Clay Wolf
You move it. Okay.
JD Ryan
Since it technically was my pick this time anyway, move it to four and a half.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, I'll still take the Eagles.
JD Ryan
All right, John, you take that one. All right, this is your pick here. And I'm sure you don't know a lot about these teams, but amazingly, the best team in the NFL. John, who do you, who do you think it is?
John Clay Wolf
I'm thinking the best team in the NFL. Are you talking about the best record?
JD Ryan
Yeah. Currently in the NFL.
John Clay Wolf
Is it the Chargers?
JD Ryan
No, but they're playing the Chargers. The Indianapolis Colts at 5 and 1.
John Clay Wolf
John, I've got it. Where's that Located.
JD Ryan
It's this game. Indy is playing at Los Angeles.
John Clay Wolf
No, I meant where are the Colts? Oh, they're in Indianapolis. I haven't heard about them in a while.
JD Ryan
You forgot about them.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
Yeah.
Mike Turley
They're secretly spiking.
JD Ryan
It's amazing.
Mike Turley
Absolutely.
JD Ryan
That quarterback Danny Dimes or Danny Indiana Jones is what they're calling him out there. Right.
John Clay Wolf
He's the.
JD Ryan
He's got more passing.
John Clay Wolf
Yards.
Mike Turley
Yards.
JD Ryan
And Patrick Mahomes this year.
Mike Turley
It's amazing.
JD Ryan
It's crazy. Everything's turned upside down. The Colts are underdogs by point and a half. This is your pick, John. Who do you go with?
John Clay Wolf
San Diego. I mean the Los Angeles Chargers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
JD Ryan
I'll let you go with that. I think I want to see if the Colts are for real. That's why I'm really interested in this game. And I think they are better than Chargers at least. And the last game and we been picking these guys a lot and I, I've. I've gotten grown on. Tampa Bay is growing on me. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 5 and 1 at Detroit Lions are 4 and 2. Detroit Lions are favored by 5 and a half. This is a Monday night game. Tampa Bay still banged up, but they've got Baker Mayfield who could probably be the MVP right now would say of the NFL, John, this is my pick and I'm starting off and I'm going to take. Actually I'm going to take the Lions on this. I think it's going to be the Lions are going to win, but I don't think they're going to cover cuz that spread's pretty big. Four and a half. So give me the Lions on this one. But it's going to be close game.
Cash (Shelby America Spokesman)
What do you.
John Clay Wolf
Wait a minute. They're not going to. Okay.
JD Ryan
Cuz the Lions are favored by four and a half. I think the Lions are going to win, but they're not going to cover the four and a half.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, I'll take the bucks.
JD Ryan
I figured you would.
John Clay Wolf
You're.
JD Ryan
You're a big bucks fan and it's worked out every time for you so far.
John Clay Wolf
So seriously, I love the Lions. I was very heartbroken. There's been some great games, but. Yeah, Baker, you know, I was told by a guy about three years ago, Jeff Christensen, he said Baker Mayfield is one of the best in the business. He is just not. He's his quarterback coach. He said he just hasn't had his moment and Jeff has. That comment is coming to fruition at this point.
JD Ryan
So this could be the year where he's in the actual super bowl.
John Clay Wolf
Best Baker Mayfield play I've ever seen was when he was running from the police in Arkansas and they tackled him against that wall. I loved watching Baker mayfield get smashed against that wall in Arkansas.
JD Ryan
Man, he's been through a lot. And everybody, you know, he's like, oh, he's so cocky. Cocky. But that's confidence, too. I think that's part of it. So it's good for him.
John Clay Wolf
Well, remember, November 15th, we're having the rattle and roll car show in walnut springs. You go to walnutspringsrally.com to register your car. Chip foose is going to be there. Dennis Collins is going to be there. The good guys, the. The corporate guys, and they're going to bring their cars and they're going to put it out to their fans. It's going to be a big event the next weekend, November 22nd. So that's November 15th. November 22nd. You can get your Adam corolla tickets now for a very small venue, the rattlesnake roadhouse. We've Adam Carolla comedy that night, November 22nd, the next weekend. And you can get those tickets also at Walnut springs rally. I'm excited about that one. I think our weather is going to be a better choice. We got rained out, you know, for the bike rally. We got rained out for the last car show. I think we're going to be on the nuts with the weather. This time is the fire chicken.
JD Ryan
Make a debut.
John Clay Wolf
I gave one of our lead guys. I don't know if y' all know this, Ken. An ultimatum. The fire chicken has killed many people. We've been building on this car for two years now.
JD Ryan
When you say killed, mean get fired, right?
John Clay Wolf
It has eaten. The fire chicken is. I'm renaming it Christine. Many people have died at the hands of trying to rebuild the fire chicken chicken. And we have had another death in the family. Oh, no.
JD Ryan
Ken's gone. He's.
John Clay Wolf
Ken's gone.
Mike Turley
Damn it, man.
JD Ryan
No one can finish this fire chicken.
John Clay Wolf
It's cursed.
Prek Bobo
It's cursed.
John Clay Wolf
It's cursed. So, Gary, we've got another guy in there doing the LT4 swap on it right now. The other fella that has really made a lot of progress, Eddie, on doing the body and the interior. So we've. We've got two talented guys working on it right now. And I do believe that it is going to make the November 15 deadline. However, if it does not, I have bought a body double out here at Barrett Jackson. Oh, I bought another 79 10th anniversary trans am And I can slide it in as a body double just in case we miss the mark.
JD Ryan
Oh, there you go.
John Clay Wolf
Right. So just like what they do in the movies, right? I think it's going to be finished. If it's not finished, I think we should tow it down there and just set it up anyway.
JD Ryan
So I guarantee people like to see what it's doing.
John Clay Wolf
Looks like right now it's really looking good. It's really looking good. But doing a big swap in a car, there's a lot. The car will be ready. Will the engine swap be completed, the gauges be working and all of the electronics for the engine swap completed properly? That is what I fear.
JD Ryan
I say you have it out there anyway, just so people can look at it. Whatever it's.
John Clay Wolf
I can have the car out there not running. I think it'll be running. I really do. But. But I. But I told Ken, if this car isn't ready by this date, then I don't think that we're gonna stay together. And he got about five days past that ultimatum and he said, I quit. Well, so Rip. Yeah, he was. He did. He did a lot of good work. He did a lot of good things. But I need a man out there that can build cars from start to finish and manage a project and make it happen. And we are learning. We're learning. You know, the management problem starts with me because I don't. I'm not a builder at the top, but I'm looking. There is a house that comes with that job on the ranch with its own shop. So if you're a guy looking for a job to run a shop, go to GMTVGarage and click email. John, because I'm going to. I'm going to hire a new shop manager. I'll give you a place to live. It's a really chill deal. I just need some people to be able to have the experience to do these. From soup to nuts. Okay.
Mike Turley
The John Clay Wolf show has been a presentation of givemetheven.com from the Westwood One Radio Network. Join us again each and every Saturday right here for the John Clay Wolf Show.
John Clay Wolf
Locker room out.
Live from Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction, Scottsdale, Arizona
This episode broadcasts from the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, capturing the car culture buzz, auction deals, and classic car personalities. John Clay Wolfe and his crew discuss everything from car values and buying strategies to rock & roll legends and oddball sports news, all peppered with the show’s signature humor and irreverence. They also welcome car YouTuber Tyler Hoover (“Hoovie’s Garage”) for some lively car talk and live bidding banter.
“You know what I get for a signed coconut? $50. That’s a Shelby deal.” – “Carroll Shelby” (Mike Turley) [02:18]
“He left a hell of a body of work … gone but not forgotten.” – Mike Turley [07:55]
“You have an advantage over me that has nothing to do with the value of the car.” – John Clay Wolfe [16:50]
“No assault is considered a small fry occurrence, even if it’s plain and dry.” – Tampa PD Chief “Pat E. Melt” [30:13]
“I just make a fool out of myself—that’s my job!” – Tyler Hoover [137:24]
On radio vs. YouTube car content:
“The Mr. Beastification of YouTube … it kind of forces you to put yourself in the foreground of a photo, making the dumbest face with something exploding in the background. It reminds me of going to Blockbuster Video and walking the wall and looking at the VHS cover—that’s what it is.” – Tyler Hoover & John Clay Wolfe [112:40]
On “pretty girls at car dealerships” criticism:
“If you want your daughter to be a young mother, send her to be a receptionist at a car dealership. It’s not yuck, it’s not disgusting, it’s procreation.” – John Clay Wolfe [19:28]
Car Buyer Advice (Project Cars):
“You will spend more money on the car that needs work and you will never get to drive it… You can buy these cars finished way cheaper than you can build them.” – John Clay Wolfe [24:13]
On the “honky tonk special”:
“You don’t meet a legitimate honky tonk special until after 1:15am, because the girls all get prettier at closing time.” – Mike Turley [65:27]
On the XJ220 “fuel bladder” project:
“I’m going to have one of the premier supercars in the world sitting in the middle of a deer lease in a shop in Texas with rednecks turning wrenches on it.” – John Clay Wolfe [134:48]
Unfiltered, high-energy, and loaded with inside jokes, real industry expertise, and listener engagement. The show is a freeform, comedic take on classic cars, auction adventures, football, and America’s weird news—delivered in a style where “nothing is off-limits…unless the FCC calls.”
For car culture devotees, this episode is a lively ride through the collector world, full of auction confessions, wild personalities, and the chaos that makes John Clay Wolfe’s show the “largest weekend morning show in America.”
