Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. Life’s Randomness: Broken Feet, Ex-Wives & Tooth Abscesses

• [00:42–11:14]
• John opens by talking about running into his ex-wife at a party and sending her a New Year's Eve gift: "Thank God she left me."
• Conversation devolves into bizarre stories about a high school girlfriend dying from a tooth abscess and the randomness of mortality compared to high-risk hobbies.
• John’s own broken foot saga: he shares his stubbornness about seeing a doctor, audience members call in with their own stories (including one needing surgery after a similar injury). The crew jokes about medical advice, bone spurs, and Jewish stereotypes.

Memorable Moment:
“If someone can die from a damn tooth abscess, I guess I’ll keep riding dirt bikes and flying airplanes—YOLO, right?”
—John Clay Wolfe [02:10]

2. Listener Call-Ins: Broken Bones, Car Questions, Adoption Patterns

• [06:08–11:14]
• Calls from listeners about broken feet and possible links between broken bones and being adopted (“Is there a connection?” gets riffed on).
• Medical advice from a seasoned partier: “If it’s a really bad sprain, it heals slow—but at least find out what you’re dealing with.”
• Ends with a lighthearted jab about “spraining your manhood.”

---

3. Car Segment – Bids, Buyer Humor, and Industry Talk

• John appraises live callers’ vehicles and bikes, emphasizing the realities of the market, “If you want $10K for an 84 El Camino ‘lawn ornament,’ I’ll offer five—don’t hit me like I’m a schmuck.”
• Calls range from average cars to unusual projects (dump trucks, high-mileage Lightning trucks, and a non-SS El Camino).
• Advice given: “If you want to beat the car dealer, play Beat the Car Dealer at GiveMeTheVIN—but know that we’re here to buy smart, not lose money.”
• Exchange with a caller about sentimental pricing vs. market reality: “People buy sexy muscle—not just any old ornament.”

Notable Quote:
“I just want to win. I want to beat the car dealer. If I can’t, then I’m stealing. But hey, we’re making somebody happy.”
—John Clay Wolfe [53:17]

4. Car Projects: Too Many, Too Few Finished

• [24:19–27:05 | 67:03–70:20]

• Frequent lament about starting more projects than finishing them, and the stress it creates as he ages.
• Community “Cars & Quesadillas” event starts organically, attracting 30+ cars with minimal promotion: “Once a month, first Sunday—just show up and have fun.”

Notable Quote:
Leonardo DiCaprio’s only known trait: “We don’t know anything else about you, man. Open up!”
—Nikki Glaser [95:02]

---

7. Grumpy Old Man Corner: Problems, Patience, and Toyotas

• [27:14–35:25]
• John and JD commiserate about running out of patience for life’s “problems” as they age—preferring reliability and zero-drama settings.
• Extended paean to Toyota as the “no problems” car: “I just don’t want to jack with problems anymore. I’m tired of problems. If your wife wants something funky, get her a Lexus.”

---

8. Wild Personal Anecdotes: Housekeeper Hookups, Maid/Babysitter Stories

You just heard about it later.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I mean, I heard all about it from her friends from. I mean, yeah, I mean, my. My old high school girlfriend died of a tooth abscess. She was in California, didn't you know, in Temecula. And she died. Like her tooth abs. Something happened. Tooth and infection. Had a schedule to go see the doctor. She died. Wow. And that's another reason why you should just live your Ella. I mean, what's it called? Yolo.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, I do ride dirt bikes and fly airplanes and do all that stupid stuff. And then somebody dies of a tooth abscess.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, that's great. I mean, that's one of those like wives tales that say, well, you better take care of that bad tooth because it can kill you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Michael Turley]

You know, Come on, grandma.

[John Clay Wolf]

I did get up this morning and went and drove the roads at the sun up because my foot. I broke my foot a couple weeks ago, right. Riding enduro. And it's still. I guess I'm gonna have to go. I don't want to Die of a broken foot. I damn sure didn't die of a broken heart from the other story I was telling you a minute ago, but.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, it's broke and I have emitting it now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I mean, it's been two full weeks. It's not spraying. Yeah, Mike, I mean, it's not like broken in half, but the pain is still sharp in there.

[J.D. Ryan]

Have you had it looked at?

[John Clay Wolf]

I have not. Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

There's no proof.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, this tooth's been bothering me, too. Oh, here we go. No.

[Michael Turley]

Well, you're approaching the foot academically, though. I mean, are you looking at it scientifically and, like, trying to decide if, you know and the whole thing.

[J.D. Ryan]

What are you going to do? They're going to go put us. They're going to say, wrap it, don't walk.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've got it wrapped.

[J.D. Ryan]

I know you have it always wrapped. I get it. No, I mean, the fact is they're going to. There's nothing they can do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nothing with an abscess. But it should be getting better.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, it's gotten a little bit better, but it hasn't gotten enough better now. I don't need to, I don't need to go ask if my foot's broken. No, it's been two weeks. How long does it take for a sprain to heal? A bad one.

[Bobbo]

You should be healed by then.

[J.D. Ryan]

Five to seven days.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so what do you do? You just keep walking on your heel and be careful. I mean, I'm walking all the time. It's not like, oh, my God, I'm in pain. I just feel that. I'm like, ah, that's so real.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, Yeah. I, I, I really don't even know what to do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Come on, J.D. tell me what to do.

[J.D. Ryan]

Go to the doctor. You got.

[John Clay Wolf]

All he's going to do is tell you to put a boot on.

[Bobbo]

Ask AI. What? Ask AI. What should you do to. With your broken foot?

[John Clay Wolf]

Nah, you know what? I already did.

[Bobbo]

Oh, and what did she sell it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Said, you got to go to the doctor. You got to go to the doctor. And they. It also said that. Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. Oh, so there's nothing there that, like.

[Michael Turley]

Broke the skin, right? I mean, this is all in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah, it's little. What, what do you call on top of your hands? What are these called?

[J.D. Ryan]

Abrasions.

[John Clay Wolf]

Metatarsals. Metatar. The little ones. It had to be that and twisted. My foot twisted and it got it. So, yeah, they give you a boot.

[Bobbo]

If it doesn't heal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Bobbo]

You'll have a bone spur. And those aren't fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where are those located?

[Bobbo]

On top of your foot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, it's not fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have one?

[Bobbo]

Uhhuh.

[J.D. Ryan]

Forever.

[Bobbo]

I. Until I go and get it shaved off, I guess, basically.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, shaved off. Oh, now how did you get that?

[Bobbo]

Running. Just too much running. Got after a marathon.

[John Clay Wolf]

So did Jewish people. Is that like bone spurs to Jewish people? Is that kind of like sickle cel anemia to black people? Well, you mean you're Jewish. And I thought. And I've heard more bone spur complaining from Jewish people.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, they do.

[Bobbo]

Have you?

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I have. This is. That's why I thought of this.

[J.D. Ryan]

Especially New York Jews like you are.

[John Clay Wolf]

Michael. Well, he's. Connecticut.

[Bobbo]

Connecticut northeast. You know, same thing. I did not know this is a thing there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I'm serious. Sickle cell.

[J.D. Ryan]

You have it? Mike, I'm so sorry to hear that.

[Bobbo]

But yeah, you need to get it taken care of.

[John Clay Wolf]

That girl was adopted. I wonder if. If tooth. What. What happened to her? What killed her?

[J.D. Ryan]

Her tooth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Abscess.

[J.D. Ryan]

Abscess Tooth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I have another friend that adopted that had an abscess.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's got nothing to do.

[John Clay Wolf]

You just gotta look at all the patterns.

[J.D. Ryan]

They both throw white cars. Never drive a wild.

[John Clay Wolf]

You just have to have your eyes open and look for patterns. That's how you figure stuff out.

[J.D. Ryan]

Adopted. Stop it. That's terrible.

[Bobbo]

What do you adopted folks?

[John Clay Wolf]

Abscess tooth? Is that what you're saying? There's a professional radio. Rhett, Good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, how's it going?

[John Clay Wolf]

Good.

[Caller/Guest]

So. So I broke my. So I work at a car dealership in Louisiana. Broke my foot January 2nd.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, mine's the. Mine's the first. Where did you break your foot? What part of your foot did you break?

[Caller/Guest]

It's the. It's the mono tarsal or whatever. Anyway, now I need screws and a.

[John Clay Wolf]

Plate because you didn't go run to the doctor. Or did you need it anyway?

[Caller/Guest]

Because it got worse. So, yeah, I went to the doctor with a hairline fracture, put me in a boot, and now it's separated and they actually need to do surgery next week.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so you did the right thing. You went to a doctor. You got a boot.

[Caller/Guest]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And look at how this is turning out for you.

[Caller/Guest]

Still needs a screw. The plate. That's right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, right. It didn't get worse because his life is worse than mine and he went to a doctor.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, that's probably the connection.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I'm not Now, I got another two weeks in me after that phone call. Thank you, Rick. Thank you. How did you break your foot, just for out of curiosity? Did it at a car dealership? Did the lot stretching machine run over you?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, it did. I was doing inventory, and my foot said, pow. And then I went home.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Now, did something run over you or did you just twist weird?

[Caller/Guest]

I just. I think I just impact, and I may have twitched it wrong. And it was a loud power. I'm gonna tell you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on just a second. I need more details. So what do you weigh and how old are you?

[Caller/Guest]

So I'm 51. I'm 325.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go. What? Pow. So you need a boot, a screw, and an Ozempic prescription.

[Caller/Guest]

Exactly.

[John Clay Wolf]

So really, you were just walking and you stepped Weird. And I was just walking. Oh, my God.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I'm a Marine. I've worked security. I've done some bad stuff with my body. Never broken a bone until.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're walking across a car dealership paved lot.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

How tall are you?

[Caller/Guest]

Yep. I'm a five' eleven.

[John Clay Wolf]

In your three what?

[Caller/Guest]

325.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're thick, dog. Can you do a jelly roll? Have you watched jelly roll lose all his weight?

[Caller/Guest]

I mean, I saw him.

[John Clay Wolf]

I like you better now that you said no myself. Yeah. All right. Thank you, Rick. See you, man. Well. Pow.

[Bobbo]

So now you're not gonna go to the doctor?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, you are.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now I feel so much better. Dude, you know how much fun I was having when I broke my foot?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was awesome.

[J.D. Ryan]

I know.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he's working and walking across a lot, and now he's going in for surgery. This is what I'm talking about. Yolo, man. You only live once.

[Michael Turley]

You only live once to be careful, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Careful. He's walking across a parking lot.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's 325.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right. He's overweight. You were on a dirt bike.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's right. Having a blast.

[J.D. Ryan]

Have you ever been hurt on a dirt bike before?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Since we're looking at patterns, yes. Okay. How many times?

[Bobbo]

20.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right, there we go. I'm beginning to see a pattern.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, after 40 years of riding.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or maybe 45. I started when I was three. Have I been injured 20 times? Of course. I mean, real injuries, like super injury once, but. Yeah, this doesn't count. Hang on. Let me ask Jay real quick. Tell me about sprains.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, but first of all, I was adopted and I broke my foot. So is there a connection there?

[John Clay Wolf]

There might be. Keep Talking.

[Caller/Guest]

All right. So when I was about 19 years old, I was at college, and this was in the 80s, and everybody knows what we did at College in the 80s. And I was impaired, to say the least. And I thought I would try doing that trick where you slide down the banister of a stairwell. Yeah, well, I slid about 2ft and fell about 8 and broke my left foot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

Didn't realize it till the next day because I was so drunk, and it was swollen up like a, you know, a baseball, a softball.

[John Clay Wolf]

30 seconds. I got. I got 30 seconds left.

[Caller/Guest]

Three grades of brains. If you have the worst, greatest frame, it can take months to heal. If you have a mild sprain, it should have healed by now. So I would say at least go to Instant Care or someplace where they can do an X ray so you know what you're dealing with. Because if it's a sprain, there's nothing you can do about it. If it is a broken metatarsal, then you do need to be in a boot, because that's what they did to me 30 years ago. They put me.

[John Clay Wolf]

You sound like a partier from way back. Have you ever sprained your manhood?

[Caller/Guest]

I've had somebody else do that for me.

[John Clay Wolf]

That sounds gay.

[Caller/Guest]

No, it was a female.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, no, but did your manhood get springed? Spraying, like, hurt, like.

[Caller/Guest]

That's what I'm saying. This. This. This woman got on me and made it go the wrong way.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, but did you go to a doctor and get an X Ray?

[J.D. Ryan]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, J.D. this is my point. Not a good point. Wonderful boy. Terrible. Oh, it's. It's the best point. Okay, we'll be right back. My name's John Clay Wolf. We got to do the car segment coming up. The car segments where you call in and I will bid your car right here on this radio station. If you want to sell your car, call 800-800-7 2, 3, 4. It's a little wiggle that we've been doing for almost 20 years because I do the wholesale car business on the side when I'm not talking to you guys on the radio. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. And I will put a number on your car, and that number is. You can use any. Give me the VIN location or just go to givemetheven.com and load your car in after I bid it. And we'll buy it if you don't lie. If you lie, then they'll have to adjust the price, but I know you won't lie because you're honest. That's what we're going with anyway. We'll be right back. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

[Caller/Guest]

No, no, no. He just ain't into breaking feet or arms or something. He still has to go to work climb poles. So I told him that could be A bad picture.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

So he wants to listen, offload it. I figured you could use another one to your collection.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've got a story about that. A guy came out here and a guy came out here with a brand new 23 KTM 450. He had five hours on it. Then he finds out his girlfriend's pregnant. He left it out here because he has three of them or something, I don't know. And he's a sniper for the, like he goes over to Iraq and does sniper jobs for the government. This is getting weird. And he's Russian, right? But he left the bike here. Then he calls me three months later, say, hey, do you want to buy this bike? I said, I don't really need. I've got a KTM350. And he said, well, I got to sell it. I said, dude, I mean, these things cost. They cost a fortune new. Anyway, I bought it for $6,000, which was too cheap. I said, it's too cheap. I said, come get it. I'll give you the six grand. I don't need it. It's just cheap enough I'd buy it. And then I took it up to my friend, borrowed it, and he took it to Telluride. And then it gets stuck up there in Telluride because he. He's having some financial problems. And now the bank is going to take the branch and my car and so I'm having to get it moved right now to Scottsdale because I'm going to Barrett Jackson this week and fly the guy back so I'll have a bike out there to ride. That was the plan. But now I broke my foot, so I'm thinking about it. I'm just all things I'm thinking about. Thank you. We'll be back in just a minute.

[J.D. Ryan]

Chili Norwood?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's it's an AI generated movie star.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it's like the first one, I think it was nominated for a Grammy. Really? Possible. Like.

[Bobbo]

So they did a song.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no. An Emmy.

[Bobbo]

Huh?

[John Clay Wolf]

What was last week? The Emmys.

[Michael Turley]

Golden.

[John Clay Wolf]

Golden Globes. Whatever. God. Details, details. Yeah, Chili Norwood is fake, but he's very popular. I think it's a woman. A good looking woman.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, of course.

[John Clay Wolf]

But even being AI when it got up to acceptance Emmy, Golden Globe. It told a story about being sexually assaulted by three studio executives.

[Michael Turley]

Of course.

That's great.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-72348. 800 radio.

[J.D. Ryan]

Nikki Glass.

[John Clay Wolf]

She was good.

[J.D. Ryan]

Did you see the Golden Globes?

[John Clay Wolf]

I did not, but I've heard enough clips. I watched just a little bit. She was the best MC that I have seen in decades.

[J.D. Ryan]

Totally agree. Some of the current event things you kicked that. When you have some audio Mike, you want to hit number nine.

[Guest/Announcer]

I cannot believe the amount of star power we have in this room tonight. It's insane. There are so many A listers. And by A listers, I do mean people who are on a list that has been heavily redacted. But. And the Golden Globe for best editing goes to. The Justice Department. And the award for most editing goes to. CBS News.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Guest/Announcer]

CBS News, America's newest place to CBS News.

[J.D. Ryan]

That was pretty good.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll get into more of that a little later. That's some good stuff. Andy, in Maryland, you have a. You've got tow trucks for sale and you're a movie star on select on Discovery.

[Caller/Guest]

Retired?

[John Clay Wolf]

No. When did. When did that quit? Did your show quit when everybody else's shows quit on Discovery?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, when my show quit, then they couldn't really get any more participation from anyone, so they just shut it down.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what I love about uxtv, guys. I mean, I've heard you're not the only one and I believe you, but everybody has the same opinion of their show, which is. Where is Richard? Can he call in pretty soon? Huh? Do what? That, that the, the. That your show's momentum. That your show's momentum was carrying the network and when they made the vile error of canceling it, it ruined the network and it's in. The entire auto sector is dead.

[Caller/Guest]

I don't think that. I do think that. Well, I do know that it had good ratings and I do know that they. It's still being played, you know, rerun. So it must be doing something. But you know. Yeah, it is what it. Exactly. It is what it is. What show was It Junkyard Empire. Me and my dad taking cars out of the junkyard, build them into hot rods and selling them.

[John Clay Wolf]

How long ago did they quit making new episodes?

[Caller/Guest]

It has been right before COVID Okay, what did they own?

[John Clay Wolf]

What did they.

[Caller/Guest]

My own company, and I'm. I'm producing the Same show on YouTube now.

[John Clay Wolf]

And what. How's that working?

[Caller/Guest]

I have not. I basically put together a year's worth of material so I didn't have to ever fall behind. And I'm getting ready to release it next month.

[John Clay Wolf]

How many people are on your YouTube? Do you have your YouTube station already up and rolling, or are you just going to do it all?

[Caller/Guest]

Junkyard empire tv.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

So did you get the rights to Junkyard Empire? Because that's a. I'm real good friends with Rollins and Fast and Loud and all that bs and what they went through with Discovery, they got a big lawsuit, and basically Discovery said, we own Gas Monkey Brand. You don't. And he said, the hell you do. And they spent a combined five or six million dollars working this out. And he won, clearly, so.

[Caller/Guest]

And I had mine before I started, so there was nothing they could do. And Junkyard Empire was a band, so it was already copyrighted. There was nothing they could do about the name, so I was left alone. But when they did, they have asked me to come back and do my show again. But they want all your social media rights. They won't let you do anything without them owning everything.

[John Clay Wolf]

And what about the merchandise?

[Caller/Guest]

Merchandise is mine.

[John Clay Wolf]

And, like, during the peak of it. What. How much merchandise did you sell in a year?

[Caller/Guest]

I was not big, like. Right. Like Rollins. I was more into just building the cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

So y' all would grab a junk car, bring it back to the shop, build it, and then sell it. Did you show the sell or did. Did you quit after the build was finished?

[Caller/Guest]

No, we always showed the cell.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where did you sell them?

[Caller/Guest]

Just on, you know, put the word out, put it on Facebook, put it on YouTube, you know what we're doing, blah, blah, blah. It was easy. The cars were easy to sell.

[John Clay Wolf]

So here's where I fall in the food chain, guys. He's done all this great stuff. He sells these cool cars. I'm sure they're great. And he thinks enough of me to call in here on national radio and pitch me a 19 tow truck with 158,000 miles on it. That's right. Two of them. Not one, but two. I get to buy a mild out tow truck from a celebrity.

[Caller/Guest]

See? And if you would have Watched the show. You know that my stuff is not mild out. It is top notch.

[John Clay Wolf]

158 is not mild down. I can tell you that.

[Caller/Guest]

I was getting 400, 000 out of them.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

And then I would trade them in. So this one has and everything. There's no rips in the seats, the mats on the floors. I replace them when they get worn out. The trucks stay inside. I own a dealership, so they're dealer maintained every 4,000 miles. There's not a ding on either one of them.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're starting to sound like Rollins. Hey, I do barn finds and collections, and actually, we're going to Tampa, I believe, Monday morning to go do one. But when I'm up in your zone, what I should do is call you and have you meet us. I do a YouTube channel, too, and it's actually doing pretty well. It's finally caught some steam. And have you meet us and you can grab some of the cars that are in your space. The junk, stuff like this tow truck.

[Bobbo]

You don't want the tow truck?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, we'll. We'll just do a setup scene where I sell where. Where. Where this. Where the tow truck. He could drive the tow truck to the fine, and we'll act like it's part of it, and then I'll sell it to him. Perfect. Because I don't want it. Thank you for calling, Andy. Thank you for calling.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, thanks.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, bye. 8008-0072-3480-0800-Junkyard Empire. I've seen that.

[Bobbo]

Yeah. That's funny, though. Yeah. He wants to sell you just his junk, basically.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, who wants just one tow truck? You gotta have two.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did y' all see the Lamborghini body on the tow truck when you were coming in the gate?

[Michael Turley]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You did see it.

[Bobbo]

I did not. No.

[John Clay Wolf]

That is the next project. I'm gonna make it a Baja rig.

[J.D. Ryan]

Are you? No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, I saw that part. Okay.

[Bobbo]

I didn't see it on the.

[John Clay Wolf]

But the car, it got here last night, and I think I've got a sponsor for it. Thank God.

[J.D. Ryan]

How does that work? The sponsor comes in, thank you much part.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

And then.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then you pump. You build it with their parts and show their parts working.

[J.D. Ryan]

Got it. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because this is going to be a heavy suspension thing. I'm going to. It's going to be like a trophy truck. And it would be. You know, I was thinking about it. Wouldn't it be fun if we went and raced, like, the Vegas, Blah, blah, blah. Baja's too big. Baja's a thousand mile.

[Bobbo]

You'd have two people, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

To just too much work, dude. You know, I'm getting tired in my 53 years. I mean, you know, like Vegas to Barstow or something like that. Be awesome. Awesome. But running the Baja, that's work.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a thousand miles.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know it's going to break down four times. You know, you're going to be stuck in the desert and fighting off snakes and Mexicans and everything else. And. And I just really not looking forward to all that.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, it's like a three day event or something.

[Caller/Guest]

What was the day?

[John Clay Wolf]

Three days of driving like 100 miles an hour. Huh.

[Michael Turley]

Hunter Thompson did in Vegas. Is that the mint 500 or the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, something like that.

[Michael Turley]

Like they still have that, don't they?

[John Clay Wolf]

They have something. We'll figure it out. But that would be entertaining.

[Michael Turley]

So we like a chop top by her.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like it's gonna be Kyle. I don't know if you have a picture of it handing. Throw it up there. But it's gonna be. Imagine a trophy truck. That is a Lamborghini Gallardo.

[J.D. Ryan]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's never been done. It got done with some other Lamborghini but they didn't do it the way I'm gonna do it. Be a long travel can am, badass suspension. We're gonna put a eat up 800 horse ls something in it.

Oh, dear God, yes. Oh dear God, yes. It's real.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's true.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't want to. I found myself sitting, watching a lot of YouTube by myself on the couch. In the old days, never, I never watched television. You, right now, it's all I want to do.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know why you do that?

[J.D. Ryan]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because if it's just you and that tv, there's probably nothing gonna happen. There's not going to be a problem.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's true. That's true. Enough issues during my, my work time. I don't need.

[John Clay Wolf]

You drive a Toyota.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep, I drive a Toyota.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you know why I drive a Toyota?

[J.D. Ryan]

Because they don't break.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I don't like jacking with problems. I don't have patience for problems. I'm lactose intolerant. I don't have patience for lactose. I don't want anything to do with that. Son of a. Last night on the toilet. Speaking of problem. What? Just hear me out. Paper starts rolling off the roller.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it starts the runaway roll.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay. Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. So I stand up, I hit it to stop the runaway roll. And it flies off. Like flew off that. So the thing, the spring comes off. Runaway roll. I already stood up at this point. So there's half a roll unrolled. Toilet paper everywhere. Gets into the water, gets on me. I, I guess I start trying to unravel the mess and I'm thinking, I, I, this is the kind of, I don't like problems. And this is a problem. I, I end up in the shower.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh my God. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, it's just, it's just problems. I go to the, the rattlesnake last night. We put in a new chandelier.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

Roadhouse.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, at the roadhouse. And it's got gas tanks hanging off of it and it's got lights and it's cool. The guy hung it up in the ceiling where it blocks the view to the stage from the upstairs. And he put it on the switch that the floodlights are on.

[Bobbo]

Oh no.

[Michael Turley]

And all 100 watt bulbs. All 100 watts. It's like you could have a boxing match in there under this light.

[Bobbo]

I mean, spotlight.

[Michael Turley]

All you need are ropes and a stage, Charlie.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm telling you. And I'm just sitting there. Had it when I pulled in last night. I had a very long day yesterday. It started at 4:30 in the morning. I got there about 6:30 last night. And when I pulled up I was like, I'm not going to get mad about anything.

[J.D. Ryan]

Just go in, have A beer and.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I just want to. Can I just wind down?

[J.D. Ryan]

Just wind down.

[John Clay Wolf]

And. And. And here comes the problem.

[J.D. Ryan]

This is my place in the world.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, that easy going.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm sending. I'm sending a challenger to Barrett Jackson. We're sending six cars to Barrett Jackson.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay?

[John Clay Wolf]

The drive. One of them. This. This mopar is over at gas monkey Getting a stripe put on it. The driver lies to take the order. Transport drivers lie to get the freight order. So the guys are waiting on it for three days to get picked up. And he's right around the corner, right? So I'm sitting in there last night, Torqued up over the chandelier. And I'm getting the call. The guys are waiting, like, hey. He says he's right around the court. Long story short, he lied. He's not there. He's not picking it up.

[J.D. Ryan]

Not figuring it up.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, the Ferrari that we're building to cinder, Barrett, the. The 6x6.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll go ahead and break the news now. It ain't gonna make it. Why? What?

[J.D. Ryan]

Why? Because it's not finished.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's not even close. It's not finished. We've got a video coming out today that'll show you why. Okay. Yeah, it's not gonna make it. In the video. We don't tell you it's gonna make it because we got to keep the suspense going. But sure, no tell. It means our real listeners. Yeah, they're gonna make it. And they told me it ain't gonna make it. And I finally. I was just sitting there, and I'm like, can I just kind of unload here and vent? They're like, sure. And I mean, I just went off and the camera guys were loving it. And Richard's like, are you okay? I'm like, no, no, I'm not okay. I mean, it's just problems. Problems. The wife goes out of town. She's gonna go to her mom's. You know, she's from Denmark.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's gonna go to her mom's. Then she's gonna go see our kid in college over there. And then she's gonna. And the. The luggage is getting lost and the flights are getting delayed, and it's just constant. I mean. I mean, she's just making me feel terrible.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why do you have to know that?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I. I mean, I care, of course, but it's just problems. And I think she was like, when I get home, I don't know if I'm ever gonna do this again. The kids are sick. She's out of town for a week. Both kids get sick.

[Bobbo]

Oh, and you gotta handle that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I gotta handle that. And then you're like, are they lying or are they sick?

[J.D. Ryan]

Just get attention.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not to get attention because their mom's out of town. They know dad's busy, and it's an easy lie to tell because dad's like, all right, stay home. I gotta go.

[J.D. Ryan]

Stay. I got things to do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. I gotta roll. I'm working so that you can be sick. I told you about the motorcycle.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And. And all that screwed up. And then he took the motorcycle from Colorado to scottsdale, and he left my gear in Colorado. I mean, I have a broken foot, so it really doesn't matter. I wasn't gonna ride it anyway. But, I mean, it's just problems, problems, problems. I mean, that's all.

[J.D. Ryan]

We don't bother you during the week because we just. Everybody's shooting at you all the time. You want to make. You want to hear something happy?

[John Clay Wolf]

Shelby wants us to have our booth at barrett Jackson next week for the show.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, great.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. But Barrett doesn't want us to do it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because they think I'm too big of an a hole.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, stop it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I swear to God, of all the.

[J.D. Ryan]

People in the car business, I've got.

[John Clay Wolf]

A million dollars worth of cars running through there next week. They stand two. They don't stand. It's an absolute. They're gonna make 200 grand on this.

[Michael Turley]

A hole.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I'm too big of an. And Gary patterson, the CEO of shelby america, called him and said, I want John to do the show from my booth. They said, well, last time it didn't go well. He said, it went real well. He said, well, he's just a little too abrasive with our staff. I was not abrasive with our staff. I'm like, we're doing this show. We'll get him. Quit worrying about abrasive with the staff. Do you remember that whole thing? I was kissing ass. There was no. I know.

[Bobbo]

They talking about, is there another vandergriff?

[John Clay Wolf]

Toyota is where I bought that Toyota. Yeah. And I like them for that.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is that Toyota? This is not an ad for toyota.

[J.D. Ryan]

It is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nobody's paying me. But I'm just telling you, that's why I drive a Toyota.

[Bobbo]

The one thing you don't have a problem.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's like you sitting on the couch in your YouTube.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, it's not going to be a problem. You know, when I went broke and I start came back in the wholesale business, Charlie Evans At Vandergriff Toyota, let me run my cars under his name, Vandergrift Toyota at Manheim, and gave me his fee deal. And I could take my titles over there to the dealership and they would write me a check right then before they collect it and only take out a tiny, you know, a small $150 fee because they had a better deal than I could get. And I owe that guy forever. I mean, that. I just always think about that. I mean, that was without that. You remember back when we were broke trying to. Trying to make the daily bank and running titles all over the place, and we got to cover the bank. We got to cover the bank. Yeah. So anyway, that's my Toyota story.

[Bobbo]

Hey, it all ties in because they don't have problems. You don't have problems with it. It's the same thing I got my kid a Toyota for because I don't want to have to worry about an issue.

[J.D. Ryan]

Nobody ever asks me. I say yes. Toyota or Honda?

[Bobbo]

Or Honda, yeah, my wife's got a Honda from Charlie. I mean, that's the same thing. I don't want problems.

[John Clay Wolf]

If your wife wants something funky, get her Alexis if you can afford it. That's a what? Toyota. Toyota. You just don't want problems. I just don't want problems.

[J.D. Ryan]

No more problems.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm tired of problems.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, you do all these projects.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it keep.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, they're all going to have problems. I know, I know. They're fun for you to do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Fun for me to do. I'll tell you what I. What's not fun? But Reggie's down down there running the Roadhouse now. And I'm starting to see. He's coming into his management, and he's like. I finally told him, you want to see cool Reggie or you want to see Dick Reggie? Because Dick Reggie's fixing to come out. Oh, like, good.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, he asked you?

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. No, no, no, no, no. He told me talking to some people that he was having problems with because he's just so chill. But, I mean, I used to come out here to the ranch and everything was calm and cool. And then I started getting all this projects and all this crap, and it's become a pressure cooker. I gotta leave here to go somewhere else. To go hide.

[J.D. Ryan]

Leave your oasis to go someplace.

[John Clay Wolf]

What have you got in there?

[Announcer]

Broadcasting live from the Wolf Radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com hit him up now. 800, 800 radio 1, 800, 800 radio. Now, John Clay Wolf, you want to.

[John Clay Wolf]

Feel like a schmutz. And, yeah, it's a lot of money, and this sounds braggy, but I was watching Mecham yesterday, the auction in Kissimmee, and there was a car that a buyer that we deal with offered to us for $3.2 million we passed.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I mean we. I'm not above that. I mean I'm not, I, I'm not scared of it. It just didn't make sense. It was all of it. Okay, okay. 918 Porsche paint a sample supercar. You know that son of a. Sold for yesterday. Oh, oh boy. I could tell you at $3.2 million the reserve is off.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh geez.

[John Clay Wolf]

5 5. Unbelievable. I've never seen that in my 30 years.

[J.D. Ryan]

And what does somebody do with that? Is that just an art?

[John Clay Wolf]

I think Mark Hendrick bought it, I think. Okay, now the. These crazy rich guys speculate on art is what it is. It's just, it's just art. You know these old cars and in these expensive cars it's really like jacking with baseball cards. Have you ever watched the baseball cards that are expensive in the. What's his name? The gay fighter.

[Bobbo]

The gay fighter.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's not gay, but he's goofy. Logan. Paul.

[Bobbo]

Oh.

[J.D. Ryan]

Allegedly.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean he's not gay. I'm just being sarcastic. It's a ball busting show. Right? Okay, okay. So he, you know, didn't he sell his Pokemon card for two and a half million dollars?

[Bobbo]

Yeah, yeah, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean why would you, why would you give two and a half million dollars for a Pokemon car? Because it's, somebody thinks it's gonna be worth more.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

That's why they do it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Somebody will pay 3, 5, 5.

[Bobbo]

And you're just like nah, it's not going to advance. It's not worth it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he was really. I was really not. Yes, that's fine. You know it got offered around to several people and several people turned out.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, you weren't the only one.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're just too big of a bite for that. The, the, nobody saw the uptick coming. However, that big tank car, do you remember that one I bought for a lot of money? The Z06? No 3. That's out here. It Meek and Fort Worth. I don't know. Do you even know what I'm talking about?

[Bobbo]

The vet.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, I saw that car yesterday. One of them sold for a million and one of them sold for 700. So that's good news. But you know when mine goes up there, man ain't gonna do it.

[Bobbo]

Oh come on now.

[John Clay Wolf]

It ain't gonna do it. I never get that kind of luck. I do get lucky.

[J.D. Ryan]

Not true.

[John Clay Wolf]

You've had a lot like that.

[Bobbo]

A two million dollar hit and a guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

So the auction sold and a guy knew I had that car and he called through A guy that knows me and he's like, hey, what would you take for that car? I hadn't seen it sell yet. And I mark it up a little bit and price it, and then I see that thing bring a million dollars. I text back, I said, I'm out. I don't know this guy. Somebody's just trying to lift me. That's cool. I'm gonna hang on to this. I finally made a bet that might be right because I owe Turley money on football bets that aren't right.

[Bobbo]

Yeah. Even avoiding betting for the last couple weeks. So I don't know if you wanted to do that this way, but I'm.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gonna need the extra money out of that vet to pay you off. Yeah.

[Bobbo]

You're only down 750, you know. Oh, that's it. Oh, there's a big weekend. I mean, let's get after homeboy. Yeah. Because it's a big football week. Is this the best football weekend?

[John Clay Wolf]

Show me how big old boy are you.

[Bobbo]

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I've got so much money made on that vet now. I'll do whatever you want. I'll. I'll bet 10,000. I'll bet a thousand. I'll double down. I'm a habitual gambler.

[Bobbo]

Well, you're down 750. Do you wanna. Do you want to up at a hundred dollars a game?

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[Bobbo]

All right, we'll do that just to. Because I don't want to get paid in nickels.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, but if you hope you lose.

[Bobbo]

But if I win, it's gonna be even worse.

[Caller/Guest]

More taxes.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, exactly. Because you're gonna tax it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't want to just pay him as a bonus.

[J.D. Ryan]

Mikey.

[Bobbo]

All right, first game, 3:30 on CBS today. Today, 12 and 5. Buffalo Bills at the 14 and 3 Broncos. Broncos are favored by. Oh, no, they're dog by point and a half. Now. That's where it's at. A point and a half.

[John Clay Wolf]

You go first.

[Bobbo]

Okay, I'll go first. And this is. I'm strictly doing this because I think Allen's a better quarterback than Bo Nix. I'm going with the quarterback on this.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Bobbo]

So I'm gonna say. Yes, the Bills will cover that one and a half.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I will take the reciprocal of that bet, sir.

[Bobbo]

Okay. You got the Broncos?

[John Clay Wolf]

I got the Broncos.

[Bobbo]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I think it's Broncos Hawks in the. Well, go ahead.

[Bobbo]

Okay. Yeah, we might be. That's the next game, in fact, 49ers 12 and 5 at the 14 and 3 Seattle Seahawks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Democrat, Liberal bowl brought to you by the Onion.

[Bobbo]

Niners have been banged up. They just keep winning though.

[John Clay Wolf]

They had this game two weeks ago.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, they've. This is the rubber match. They've split the two.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was a great game two weeks ago.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And was it a three point game?

[Bobbo]

Yeah, they're both in three point games. Seattle's favored right now by seven.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm saying three. Two weeks ago when the Hawks played.

[Bobbo]

And they beat him, it was three.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was it a three point game?

[Bobbo]

Yeah. And so apparently there's rumors that Darnold's hurt, but he's playing. They haven't really officially said anything about that. So there is that you have to worry about. Do the Seahawks win by seven and a half, John?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I agree.

[Bobbo]

So we get to move the line.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I mean, we had this contest two weeks ago. It was a three point game.

[Bobbo]

So Seahawks do win. Yes, I agree that on that point. So you get to move the line since you were picked first, what do you move it to?

[John Clay Wolf]

Can I just take the Niners with the points?

[Bobbo]

I mean, you could do that. Yeah, but I mean it's. I don't think Seattle's gonna win though by the. By the spread either. So we have to move the line.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no. I will have the Niners winning the seven and a half.

[Bobbo]

So do you just have the Niners.

[John Clay Wolf]

Straight up winning but with the points? I get a seven and a half point spread, right?

[Bobbo]

No, Seattle's favored by seven and a half.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, duh. I'm sorry. I'm not thinking. You're right. Okay, we'll move the line to. Do you want to move the line?

[Bobbo]

We get to do it first since you're.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're three.

[Bobbo]

So it's the Seattle win by three.

[John Clay Wolf]

We gotta move it to half, right?

[Bobbo]

Three and a half. I'll take that. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I don't want Seattle winning by three. I still think that the Niners are gonna win.

[Bobbo]

Okay, well, I'm taking Seattle win by three and a half.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so I got the Niners.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Bobbo]

The nine. The game Sunday at two o'.

[John Clay Wolf]

Clock.

[Bobbo]

The Texas Texans 12 and five at the 14 three patriots. Patriots are favored by three and a half points. That's at two o'.

[John Clay Wolf]

Clock.

[Bobbo]

Are the Texans defense for real? I mean, they look really good against the Steelers.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna bet like a chick on this one.

[Bobbo]

You're gonna take the Texans, aren't you?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, I'm a Texan.

[Bobbo]

You can take them. I think the Patriots win.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do too.

[Bobbo]

And cover the Spread too, so that's fine. And then Sunday at 5:30, the 12 and 5 Rams at the 11Six Bears. It's going to be cold, could be snowing. Can where it's at. Chicago and the Rams are favored right now, which is crazy. It's four and a half points. The line's gone up from three and a half to four and a half. The Rams are favored. It's my pick. I'm gonna pick. I'm gonna take the Rams to win and cover.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I got that. I think the Chicago wins, period.

[Bobbo]

Okay. I'm strictly going again, just the better quarterback. That's kind of where I'm going off of.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it seems to be how the money goes. And all the. All the coaches and the owners bet on this too.

[Bobbo]

And then the last game, of course, the championship for college football in Miami. Number 10, Miami 13 and 2 versus number one Indiana, 15 and oh, does the home field environment help out Miami, John? No, their favorite now, right now, Indiana is favored by 8 1/2 points.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you gonna do?

[Bobbo]

I'm gonna say Indiana wins, but does not cover.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I'll take that. Okay, well, hang on. I'll take that.

[Bobbo]

Okay. And there's the picks.

[John Clay Wolf]

I do not think Miami will get their butts kicked.

[Bobbo]

That's what I think.

[John Clay Wolf]

I get their butts kicked.

[Bobbo]

You're saying they're gonna get the.

[John Clay Wolf]

But not cover. So I'm saying they're going to get their butt kicked. Yeah, I'm good.

[Bobbo]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Y.

[Bobbo]

And then you know what? SMU beat Miami and Indian is just. They don't turn the ball over.

[John Clay Wolf]

They don't. Don't make fun of Indians.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, Indiana.

[John Clay Wolf]

Indiana.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, they don't make mistakes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dr. Feather.

[J.D. Ryan]

Did you guys see the Pittsburgh Steeler fans turn on Aaron Rodgers walking off that field? Oh, dude, something.

[John Clay Wolf]

The coach quit. Has Rogers quit yet?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, officially yet. But it was Monday night. Of course, Pittsburgh Steelers lost their playoff game against the Houston Texans. And then ABC's given Aaron Rodgers this moment and of course these fans were giving him none of it. Cut number six.

[John Clay Wolf]

Retire.

[J.D. Ryan]

Retire. Retire. Man, you suck. Retirement.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just so cool.

[Michael Turley]

You think he will.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's had a great career, but why do I do that?

[Michael Turley]

It was looking like time, but I mean, I've. I've enjoyed a lot of. A lot of games watching that guy, man. Yeah, I remember Roethlisberger and Brett Favre. When they. They left, I was like, you know, there's kind of a hole in you.

[Bobbo]

It's the next crop that's. He's the last of that. Oh, Mohicans there.

[Michael Turley]

So, yeah.

[Bobbo]

Well, there's your picks.

[J.D. Ryan]

Make that decision on your own and not let the fans tell you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lightning rounds coming up. It's the car segment where you call in right now, pick up your phone if you want to sell your car. We buy expensive cars like we're talking about. We buy classic collector cars. But our real, you know, Nissan's Toyotas, Ford, Chevy's normal stuff. That's what our volume is in givemetheven.com but unlike CarMax and Carvana, we're great buyers on Lamborghini's Porsches, Resto mods, all that cool stuff, too. Cool trucks, you know, your happy days cars. I mean, I'll tell you what they're worth. But I had a guy offer me a Hudson hornet yesterday. Wanted 30,000 for it. It's got original patina, you know, AKA needs a paint job. And I told him I give him 15 grand for it. And I had him show me comps of what, where he's getting his 30 grand. Yeah, and the cars that he's getting 30 grand from are restored cars. Sure, but this one's all original. Original, yeah, but it's not as good as a restored car. No, this is not a muscle car.

[J.D. Ryan]

I got work to do on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah, well, I'm not gonna do it.

[J.D. Ryan]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

So the next guy's gonna have to. So it's got to be half price anyway. Be right back. Oh, 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

84 El Camino. Please tell me it's an SS.

[Caller/Guest]

No, it is not.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, yeah, it's. It's sitting in my front yard. It's not going anywhere.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's.

[Caller/Guest]

It's. It's a lawn ornament is what it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sounds nice. What does it need? Paint. I mean, you're in El Paso. The sun out there is not the most pleasant.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, it does need paint. It's not bad. But if you really wanted to restore it, it would need a paint job.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why do you want 10,000? Why would you call me and hit me at 10,000 like I'm a schmuck?

[Announcer]

Here at the zebra, research shows the average person would rather endure a root canal than search for auto and home insurance.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just try to relax, okay?

[Announcer]

Or be trapped in a car for.

[John Clay Wolf]

Eight hours with toddlers on a sugar high. Or remove a nest of irate hornets.

No, I'm not gonna give it away.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's not giving it away. You've got a car that needs paint. That's a lawn ornament. It's not an ss. It's not highly desirable. It kind of looks. You know what it looks like? It. It's not the sexiest bitch in the drawer. It's just. Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

No, but it's pretty nice.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's not a 70s. If it was a 70s. We've got a different early 70s. We got a different animal on our hands. But this thing kind of looks like that little. It's a little old man car, you know? And he was a little bit nerdy, the guy that drove this car, and. But. But he thought he still had a little sex in him, and that's why he went with the El Camino. And this card is not.

[Caller/Guest]

I totally get that.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Bobbo]

Yeah, if you can't, you're stealing.

[Bobbo]

I haven't heard much of him, have you?

[Michael Turley]

It depends on the channel, man. They're playing them on 80s channels. They're playing them on a couple of the. What used to be called R B stations. Soul stations.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's going on with Bill Cosby after he got out? Where's he.

[Michael Turley]

Nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

He doesn't do any standout.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, he said he was blind, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, he could still do stand up, I don't think.

[Bobbo]

You think any comedy club would hire him? No, there's no way.

[J.D. Ryan]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

One guy told me that Cosby ruined his reputation from being a hypocrite. And I said, no, I think it was the raping.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, pretty sure it was the raping.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I mean, how could you do non hypocritical raping? I love to rape. I hate myself for it, but I love to rape. And here's a jello pudding pop and it might happen, have a little spice in it because you look sexy.

[Bobbo]

Can you pull that bobbo, please?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, definitely. Definitely.

[Bobbo]

Wish I had the music out, though. Can you do that again, please?

[Michael Turley]

And he drugged him. He drugged him to do it too, which is just, you know, that's pretty insidious, man. Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Would you mean to do it again?

[Bobbo]

No, no, don't. I'm just joking.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can.

[Bobbo]

I know you can.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's going on with Bill Cosby? Where's he these days? You know, one guy told me, ruined his reputation from being a hypocrite. And I said, no, no, it was the raping, I think. How could you have non hypocritical raping? I love to rape. I hate myself for it, but man, I sure like doing it.

[Michael Turley]

And now, from North America's own land down under, it's time for Sunshine State News with your certified lifeguard, J.D.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

There was a report of an emu on the loose in Florida this week. Corporal Kaiser is his name. Tracked down this big old bird, said the bird ignored his commands, kicked him Several times using the big talons, fled on foot. You know, them things can run up to 30 miles an hour. Oh, yeah, 30 miles an hour. He finally had to lasso it and use cuffs to secure his legs. Here's cut number eight.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm in pursuit of an emu.

[J.D. Ryan]

Come here. Come on.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, gosh.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go this way.

[Caller/Guest]

You know, some big old talons.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'll be honest with you, I've never.

[John Clay Wolf]

Handcuffed an emu before. Look who's got you now.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you done resisting? I don't want to have to charge you.

[Bobbo]

Hey, don't bite me now.

[Caller/Guest]

You're behaving, aren't you?

[John Clay Wolf]

Secured a full set of cuffs on this emu.

[Michael Turley]

Screw that, man. If you've ever been anywhere close to one of these things.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, these are.

[Michael Turley]

These are cruel, vicious creatures.

[J.D. Ryan]

Big, powerful.

[Bobbo]

Quick, quick story. Little League baseball field in Grand Prairie, Texas. There's somebody had a farm of these, okay. And they got out our team. We had to run and get up into the stands because they're running around loose in the. In the field. I mean, they're mean suckers.

[Michael Turley]

They hive like bees, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah, just shoot them. Well, we didn't have near Grand Prairie. I think. I think everybody's okay to do open arms in Grand Prairie.

[Bobbo]

Gunpoint, yes. That's what it's known for. But no, we didn't have guns at the time.

[John Clay Wolf]

So elsewhere, speaking of open carry, we are hiring buyers that. Give me the VIN for Baton Baton Rouge location. Baton Rouge and also Covington, if you're near Covington, that might work as well. North Richland Hills and Austin. So go to givemetheven.com, click Careers. If you live in Baton Rouge, Covington, Louisiana. If you want to commute and work at the headquarters in North Richland Hills, Texas, which is out by DFW airport or Austin, Texas. I think we have two locations in Austin and one of them is manned and one of them is unmanned.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, it's more of like kind of a West Austin. It's not so much in the city, so it's actually a better for traffic for you. So send an email in where they send it to.

[John Clay Wolf]

They just go to givethevin.com and click careers. There you go. And Erica will call them and screen them. And if you open carry, that's fine. But if you. If you have a priors. What's our policy on priors?

[Bobbo]

Yeah, it's not.

[J.D. Ryan]

Prefer no felonies.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, prefer unless you're really talented.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's our new. That's Our new bumper sticker. Give me the VIN. We prefer no felonies.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-7234, 800.

[J.D. Ryan]

We got one more Florida news if you wanted. Remember if you've seen the movie roof man where the guy hides in a toys.

[Michael Turley]

I have not.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's kind of good actually.

[Michael Turley]

I really need.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's not bad. 18 year old guy. This guy was arrested for trying to stay in a Walmart store in Inglewood for 24 hours. Part of a tick tock challenge. So he's going to try to stay in there as long as he can. Deputies in Englewood discovered Isaac M. Hurley after an employee found him hiding out in the pet department. Here's some of the local news report. Get number seven Mike. About to do an overnight challenge in.

[Caller/Guest]

Walmart because I'm homeless.

[John Clay Wolf]

So make sure you follow the YouTube.

[Caller/Guest]

And everything like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Make sure you like this and post share everything. He failed the challenge pretty quickly. Deputies say he was only in the store for less than an hour as people online trying to get prosecutors to drop the charges. I heard from other information that he was a young person that was only about 18. So that's typical for them to make a crazy mistake like that that you can't just trespass on Walmart's property. Deputies say they found Hurley in the.

[Bobbo]

Dog bed section with an iPhone charger that he stole.

[John Clay Wolf]

So hopefully he'll get some kind of counsel that helps him when he goes to court.

[Announcer]

This won't be a big story in.

[John Clay Wolf]

His life, but it'll be something he doesn't tell his children.

[Bobbo]

That dude only made an hour.

[J.D. Ryan]

Made a whole hour of his 24 hour TikTok challenge.

[Bobbo]

I mean that's easy to do an.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hour in a grocery store, in a Walmart.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, my God, there's a, there's no employees. They're not gonna find you a lot of hiding places.

[Michael Turley]

But there are a lot of people carrying around, you know, the shoppers, the shoppers are still going, getting deliveries ready for tomorrow.

[J.D. Ryan]

Walmart shoppers.

[Michael Turley]

It's traffic. Me and my cousins used to want to go and hide in Six flags over Texas, wait till they close down and like hide somewhere.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you could do that, come out.

[Michael Turley]

And ride the roller coasters.

[J.D. Ryan]

When I was doing that TV show with Russ Martin, we faked that. We, we, we faked one time that we hung out in Six flags and rode the roller coaster all night. It was a fake.

[Michael Turley]

Well, I mean we were eight so we didn't know any better.

[J.D. Ryan]

It was a big plan.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Somebody's got to run the roller coaster.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was thinking about you this morning, J.D. ryan.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, Lord.

[John Clay Wolf]

In your old life with Russ Martin. Yes. You know, he was this. All this car crap.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

All these fancy cars and muscle cars. That was part of his deal, too.

[J.D. Ryan]

Absolutely. He had the Monster Mobile. He had the General Lee. He had the. What else?

[John Clay Wolf]

Did y' all ever drive them?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, yeah, of course. The Batmobiles. Not one, but two.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you ever drive?

[Caller/Guest]

Yep.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hey, let me. Let me drive the.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's a Mach 5, which is the Corvette Ambiguously gay duo car.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep, he had that one. What else?

[Michael Turley]

Did he.

[Bobbo]

So he had all weird cars.

[J.D. Ryan]

Tv.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just had TV cars. TV cars.

[J.D. Ryan]

TV cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I thought about grabbing you this morning when I went for my little drive. Should I had. Were you already here when I left? When I left for the show because it was before sunup.

[J.D. Ryan]

I did not see you leave.

[John Clay Wolf]

So, yeah, I didn't.

[J.D. Ryan]

I get here at 7:01.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think I left about 6:50.

[J.D. Ryan]

God. Man, it doesn't pass you on the road anyway, huh?

[John Clay Wolf]

I just wanted to go for a drive.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, that would have been fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

And we've got this car here that. It's got a story with it, a badass Lamborghini Evo Huracan. And it's parked here for an undisclosed reason. But I was like, I need to drive it every once in a while. So I went and did the wall, that loop in about an hour. And, you know, started off being cool, and they got faster and faster and faster. You just can't. You can't. I was like, I'm really just gonna cruise. I'm not gonna do it. And then you start going through these corners on all these windy roads, and it says 25, and you do it at 50 and it feels good. And you, like, do a 25 turn at 70, and you're just thinking, farmer coming out of his gate with a load of hay, deer on the other side. You're not gonna run into a kid on a bicycle out here. But no, you just got to really be looking in front of you.

[J.D. Ryan]

A lot of deer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. What's. What like drive.

[J.D. Ryan]

What's it like driving that thing? I can't even imagine. I mean, is it just like riding it on rails?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Caller/Guest]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, wow. It is like riding on rails. Actually, we went for a drive last week. I'll talk about that after the lightning round. Wait, is lightning around next? No, no, actually, when we come back, I'll talk about our. If you remember last week, I said, hey, it was about this time meet me, meet me at the Bosque cantina. We'll, we'll do cars and quesadillas and go for a drive. I'll tell you how that worked out as soon as we get back. My name is John Clay Wolf by cars the radio for america's best car buyer. Givemetheven.com Remember Gordon Boswell? Flowers across the country or around the corner. Gordon Boswell is your go to flower source. They're great. They've been with us. They've been sponsoring the show for like seven or eight years and everybody's always I love it when we get emails from people saying thank you for the hookup with Gordon Boswell. I sent my so and so loved one, you know, flowers in Miami or New York or somewhere far away and they showed up and it was the real stuff. Like I was in town and picked them. Not the junk, it's more expensive but it's the good stuff. We also buy buses, RVs, Harleys, travel trailers, all that stuff at giving the ven.com be right back.

[Announcer]

And now we return to the John Clay Wolf show presented by givemetheven.com I.

[John Clay Wolf]

Want to talk about sex with housekeepers and we'll do that in a minute after we talk about cars in quesadillas. We need to get this out now before the little kids get in the car on Saturdays.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes indeed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cars and quesadillas. Last Sunday I just said hey, just threw it out. Just an idea. Meet at the Bosque cantina for brunch and you know, I expected three, four guys to show up. I mean it was just very light hearted. And I pulled, I said I'll be at the garage about 9 o' clock and we'll walk across to the canteen at 10 and then we'll go for a cruise. So I pulled up to the garage about 9:15. There were 30 people there. Oh wow.

[J.D. Ryan]

30 people.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. And there were 28 cars.

[Bobbo]

Cool cars too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Super cool cars. There was one quarter million dollar Camaro 69. That was this. Oh my only. I wish I would have spent more time with that car. I was. There it is right there on the screen.

[Bobbo]

Oh wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, he just finished.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a quarter million.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh dude, he.

[Bobbo]

What's it got underneath it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Everything. Everything, Everything. Yeah. Oh, there, there they are. These are. This is last weekend.

[Bobbo]

Go to the JCW show right now.

[J.D. Ryan]

Watch the YouTube jcwshow.com Let's look at.

[John Clay Wolf]

Us all pulling in. So traffic jam. It was really fun.

[J.D. Ryan]

Dude, this is great.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we Walked around the garage, showed him the cars, went upstairs, walked across the canteen. And then we. I was like, hey, we gotta map this out. And Dwayne Sanderson, the guy that I bought the boss 9, he knows the area very well because he owns a trucking company in Glen Row, so he knows all the back roads. And Mark Cuban, he's a good friend. It's Kyle's dad there. There's the guys in there doing it. And there's Dwayne9. We're working on the charts of quesadillas. Yeah. And so we get our. Our map laid out and then we took off. And dude, the roads were better than what I thought. I didn't realize that there were better roads than what I even knew about. So I learned something. I learned new trail. And it was really good. But I think we should start doing that once a month.

[Bobbo]

Look at that train. You gotta go right?

[J.D. Ryan]

This is literally no pre promotion nothing. You just threw it out on the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Air and that's the way it needs to be. Yeah, I just want to keep it chill. I'm pretty. I want to have fun. I don't want to work.

[Bobbo]

You don't want to have it be in some event where you have.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no. And then Amy's calling, and then Amir gets involved. Our publicist. Yeah, look at all the people.

[Bobbo]

That's great.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's Bob Luckey. He buys cars from us at Mannheim for years. And. And then the guy that I bought the Chip Chevelle from, Fred, he came with his son. What was cool is a lot of that. And he brought that badass rest of my truck. What was cool is a lot of people that like, came to the car show and they enjoyed it. I'm like, okay, so let's start doing more of this.

[Bobbo]

There's something about just taking your vehicle out and going for a ride. But if you get to do it with a group, that's not pressure. That's the biggest thing. Because a lot of people like, oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

You want to show your car off? This was chill. And. But. But like when I pulled it around the corner at the garage, they were all lined up kind of like the car show day. And I was like, oh, my God, this is perfect. So I want to keep doing that. Do we do it on the first Sunday of every month or the last Sunday?

[Bobbo]

What's the difference?

[John Clay Wolf]

Just you need something people can remember. I was looking at the next two Sundays and the last Sundays. This weekend. I can't do this weekend. I'll be in Scottsdale.

[Bobbo]

What Events happen. Yeah. First. The first Sunday usually don't have as many events, but now if you have.

[J.D. Ryan]

No idea setting it up, it's gonna be become a pain in the ass.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna let it be a pain in the ass.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna show up. I'm gonna show up. I'm gonna be just like them. I'm gonna. I'm there for the cars. I'm there for the fun. But what's one thing about these car culture people is they start taking care of each other. They don't need me.

[Bobbo]

That's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

They start talking and communicating and I'm just getting, you know. Yes, but you don't have to be there.

[Bobbo]

If you're there, there's a group.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, definitely, because there'll be a weekend. I can't make it. Yeah, sure. It would be great to do it on Saturdays because I'm always here, but, you know, we don't get up there till noon. And then what I did notice on the second leg because it was a two hour drive. And on the second leg we started losing some people, but there were a lot of people from Dallas.

[Bobbo]

That's a drive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. I mean, it's an hour 40, so.

[Bobbo]

They'Re already taking a drive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, Right, right, right. But no, we need to. We need to do this. So should we do it the first Sunday of every month and then the next one would be.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, weather permitting, you're in the winter.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you're already looking for excuses not to do it.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, in case it's cold in the wind chill and if there's clouds.

[John Clay Wolf]

Look at the smoke on the burnout. Yeah, there's some like Chalk Mountain and. And up by Paluxy. And then we went over to Ferry and then went down to Cranfield's Gap.

[J.D. Ryan]

If you want to see the video, it's jcwshow.com and follow us on YouTube.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Bobbo]

Some good burnouts.

[John Clay Wolf]

We had a big time out of.

[J.D. Ryan]

The town people okay with the burnouts?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, they moved out to the country for a reason. That's true. I mean, it's like saying, are the town people okay with horses? Well, there's a horse and I just saw it poop. Yeah. Well, that's why you moved to the country. Well, there's dust on this dirt road. Yeah, it's got my car dirty. Yeah, that's why you moved out to the country. There you go. I think. Yeah.

[Bobbo]

First Sunday every month.

[John Clay Wolf]

First Sunday of every month or no.

[Bobbo]

Show up yeah, whatever.

[John Clay Wolf]

Whatever.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Phenomenal turnout for impromptu, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. And we'll just do it like that. I don't care if it gets big, if it gets small, but I do this. Well, actually, we ride on Sunday mornings. Dirt bikes. My. My foot will be unbroken pretty soon. But this is one. This is one Sunday a month. Yeah, we can just do this. First Sunday of every month. Cars and coffee, nine o' clock at the garage. Yep. All right, we can put the media team on it. Now, when we make an event, everybody start working. T shirts, cars and cases. Right? Bumper stickers. 800-800-723-4. Sex with a. Getting it on with babysitter. I'm not a babysitter, but I'm a maid.

[J.D. Ryan]

Maid? You mean like a hotel?

[John Clay Wolf]

A hotel. Or your housekeeper. I was thinking about. I want to protect the innocent. So I have two friends that made it with the housekeeper. One of them's name, his fake name, is Homer.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And when his girlfriend showed up, she said, this place is too clean, and she started digging through the trash.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And she found a receipt from the liquor store for Margarita's Mix and tequila. Okay. She completely got him to admit the whole thing.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, he's an idiot. All you found is receipts.

[John Clay Wolf]

But, you know, start putting, why is this place so clean? Over here. What's this? And who. Why did you need this much margarita? And if you just had the maid over, why'd you. Would you and the maid have margaritas?

[J.D. Ryan]

And they go, yeah, the maid. It's just too easy. That's just simple enough.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it easy?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, right there. I mean, come on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's like flight attendants and pilots on layovers.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

You get a hotel paid for by the airline, you're in a different town. It's just too easy.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you have a housekeeper, Hotel or home, a story. 800-800-7234. If you made it with them. 800-800-Radio Turley. J.D. it sounds like you have a story.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, I do.

[Michael Turley]

I mean, what.

[John Clay Wolf]

Tell me. Friends we just had. Who's we? Girlfriend.

[J.D. Ryan]

The girlfriend I had back in the 90s.

[John Clay Wolf]

90S. Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

It was all they had.

[John Clay Wolf]

Housekeepers in the 90s?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes. She had a little cute little TCU girl that used to come over and take watch her kids in the afternoons. And the kids would go outside and play and she would take care of the house, and it's just too easy.

[John Clay Wolf]

So how did you make the move?

[J.D. Ryan]

I didn't really make the move. She did.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, wow. Yeah. And what was the age spread?

[J.D. Ryan]

I was 31.

[John Clay Wolf]

And she was a cute little TCU girl. So she was 21.

[J.D. Ryan]

21. Maybe 35 to 21.

[John Clay Wolf]

And how did this all end up?

[J.D. Ryan]

I never got caught until just now. I didn't get caught. You know, you just. She went off to college is the answer, and it was terrible. I feel awful about it. Thanks for bringing it up.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, God.

[John Clay Wolf]

I had another friend. I just remembered another one. We took one on a trip, and he went the day. A few days before.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he took the nanny with Mrs. And the housekeeper. I like the housekeeper story better. But she. He. You know, he started rubbing her bag or something outside, and then he made the move, and she freaked out, and she went in the bathroom and locked the door, and they start a hostage situation. She's calling her parents in Houston. He's down on the beach. His wife and kids are coming, like, two days later off. And he is, like, negotiating with her and offering her money.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'll do anything.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm so sorry. It was completely my fault. I'm so, so sorry. Here's a hundred. Here's 200.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, he got up there, but the more money he offered her, the more she told her dad what he was doing.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, how'd that one turn out?

[John Clay Wolf]

Bad.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, dad came in and.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, he came and picked up his daughter the next morning, and I just.

[J.D. Ryan]

Totally misread the signals.

[John Clay Wolf]

He. He. He obviously is a blind man when it comes to the signal.

[J.D. Ryan]

The signal?

[Bobbo]

Did his family find out? His wife?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't think so.

[Bobbo]

Holy cow.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's important.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's high pressure.

[J.D. Ryan]

High pressure.

[Bobbo]

Oh, now he's got to find a new maid, too?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, no, she's a. She was a nanny or babysitter. Okay. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. If you've got a story like that, I'd love to hear it. Baba, have you ever had. Have you ever made it with the housekeeper? Ah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. What have you got J.D.

[J.D. Ryan]

Did you want to do? Well, this is kind of a sad story. The one of the co founders of the Grateful Dead is grateful and now dead. Bob Bow Weir passed away last week at the age of 78. Here's some. Here's Bob actually telling Dan Rather. Remember Dan Rather how just a by chance meeting. Isn't that a lot what happens with groups in life? You just run into somebody. He ran into Jerry Garcia back in 1963. And it became a very much a life changing event for a lot of us. Cut number one. It started for me on a New Year's Eve between 1963 and 64. I was wandering the back streets of Palo Alto. We heard banjo music coming out from behind the music store that we used to frequent. I had just turned 16 and Jerry came in, Jerry Garcia.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he asked us if we played the instruments.

[J.D. Ryan]

And we sure that evening so much fun that we decided we couldn't just walk away from it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Might as well just make a little.

[J.D. Ryan]

Band out of it. And we did.

[Caller/Guest]

At the age of 16.

[John Clay Wolf]

I was like Carson Quesadillas.

[J.D. Ryan]

Tom Snyder interviewed both Bob and Jerry on the Tomorrow show back in the 80s. And Bob, it has some great answers on how unique the Grateful Dead really was. Cut Number two, did you think when.

[Michael Turley]

You were starting that it would ever evolve into this mystique that has come to surround the group called the Grateful Dead?

[John Clay Wolf]

We didn't think when we were starting.

[Caller/Guest]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

We didn't think. Right.

[Caller/Guest]

The only kind of plans we ever made were, like, going to Egypt and playing under the pyramids. Those are the only kind of plans we ever started out with. And we actually got around it.

[Michael Turley]

It was in 1978. Yeah. What changes do you see in what.

[Caller/Guest]

You'Ve done over the years?

[John Clay Wolf]

And how have you managed to be.

[Michael Turley]

Evolutionary and stay current?

[Caller/Guest]

I don't think we stayed current. I don't think we ever were current.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, right. I. I think we've been sort of singular in our whole endeavor and probably stay that way.

[Caller/Guest]

I mean, all we try to do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is just satisfy our own standards.

[J.D. Ryan]

And in case you don't remember, of course, Bob was a featured lead on many, many of their songs. You want to hear cut number two? I'm sorry. Cut number three.

[Bobbo]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Come heal Uncle John's bed Playing to the tide Trucking Got my chips cashed in deep Trucking Sugar Magnolia.

[Bobbo]

Train that song.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm cocaine. Casey Jones, you better watch your speed we will get ride we will survive maybe going to hell in a bucket, baby.

[J.D. Ryan]

Rest in rock and roll Peace, Bob. We are 78. Died last week.

[Michael Turley]

And that was. You know, that's what a great body of work they built. I've seen a lot of videos lately of Bob Weir strumming with Dwight Yoko. Cool. And playing that. You know, they used to do Merle Haggard's work in Man Blues.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[Michael Turley]

And he him due edding with Dwight on that is pretty damn cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's dead. He's dead. Rest in peace, Bob. You and Jerry playing in heaven? I. I just never was a jam band guy.

[Michael Turley]

We're down to two Grateful Dead members from their star lineup.

[J.D. Ryan]

Who's left?

[Michael Turley]

Kreutzman and Mickey Hart, the drummers.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've never done lsd, so it never hit me in the right. Like Vain.

[Bobbo]

You don't have to do LSD to enjoy a jam band.

[John Clay Wolf]

Weed.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, probably. It helps a little bit.

[John Clay Wolf]

They.

[Bobbo]

They were funky, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like this.

[Bobbo]

I love this song too. Shake down the Street. Love it. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

See, I don't know any of them. Maybe I need to get into it.

[Michael Turley]

Donald Fagan was playing this on his solo tour a few years ago. Yeah. Oh, it's super. Super.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Speaking of music, let's do backtracks. Oh, boy. 800-800. 7, 2, 3, 4, 8. Hundred, 800 radio is the call in number to guess these songs. You guess the two songs that were backwards. You can go to jcwshow.com and click merch and get anything you want on there. Cut one. I know nothing. So I'm. I'm playing along with y', all, and I haven't said the artist yet. Cut to.

[Bobbo]

I don't know if you can get the artist from God.

[John Clay Wolf]

That sounded like Motley Cruelty.

[Michael Turley]

It's definitely Motley Crue.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, good job. Okay, so it's Motley Crue Backtracks, and we're gonna. You've got to guess the two songs. Cut one. I remember that song and I don't know the name of it. Cut. This is one of my favorite crew songs. This was not a radio song. The second one a little bit. But I mean, it was actually early on when they really blew up. It was before the whole hits thing happened.

[Michael Turley]

These are both pretty early the day in history. We've got 1981. Hair metal history was made when bass guitarist Nikki Sixx left his band London to begin rehearsals with drummer Tommy Lee, effectively marking the beginning of Motley Crue. That group eventually submitted their legendary lineup with vocalist Vince Neil and guitarist Mick Mars. 1981. It has been that long ago Hard to believe.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hello. Listening to you Looking for a welder to build the chassis for that Lamborghini. Go ahead and throw that picture up, Kyle. You've got it. Of the Lamborghini we're going to build.

[Bobbo]

Oh, that's sweet.

[John Clay Wolf]

What?

[Bobbo]

That's what you want to go with?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.

[Michael Turley]

Dude.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Kyle, do you have the other picture of the Lamborghini shell on the. On the. There it is. So that showed up last night. Oh, is that the one from the video?

[Michael Turley]

Just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Bobbo]

Okay. That was sitting in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, in Mississippi, and it got here last night. I did not know it was on its way. And I was pulling out the gate and saw it at the body shop. Like, oh, my God, it's here. This is exciting.

[Bobbo]

Yeah. One of your latest episodes. You didn't realize you had that.

[John Clay Wolf]

I forgot. I bought it. I've had it sitting in Mississippi for a long time. Dennis Collins and I bought it together, and I was. Saw him the other day. Now there's a bucket truck in that group of cars also. And he wanted the bucket truck at his place because he needed it to trim trees. And he was telling me what he thought this Lamborghini would bring. Oh, it's not going to bring much. Then I told him what I wanted to do with it. He's like, well, you know, I think it bring 20 grand. I'll bring a trailer. I'm like, in that condition? And I said, well, it became interesting because we're partners on it, but we're partners on the bucket truck also. That I haven't got to see. I funded the whole deal. Not that Dennis doesn't have the money, but that was just my partner part. I kind of like, hey, let me pay for this one. Let's do it together. So we did. So long story short, I was like, hey, man, you keep the bucket truck. I'll keep the salvage title. Lamborghini that has no motor and no transmission. And he didn't like the deal. But then he said, I'm easy. Go ahead. When I told him how fun the build was going to be, what I wanted to do. So that's the car. Let's see the. Let's see the mock up again.

[Bobbo]

What are you gonna have in it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Motorized nls, LT something. But that's gonna be super duper, duper, duper badass. That's gonna be. That's gonna be the one I keep.

[Bobbo]

That's. That's gonna be what, 200 grand build at least.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nah.

[Bobbo]

You don't think so?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, We've already got the car. Well, that's true. And if we can get a suspension advertiser because the suspension is the expensive part, and then the wheels and the tires, we'll. We'll figure it out.

[Bobbo]

That's badass.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, that's gonna.

[Bobbo]

I want to drive that one.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's gonna be fun, and that's gonna be a keeper. And then we can. Could take it and run a race in it. And then. Then you can shoot me, kill me. I'm done. I've done everything I needed to do in life because that's really what I've been running against. Is I just.

[J.D. Ryan]

The clock.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, the clock. The clock. I know, I know you want to argue with me, but I. You keep telling me. Not allowed to feel like I'm gonna die.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, you. You're not gonna die.

[John Clay Wolf]

First of all, you're gonna die. I'm gonna die. We're all gonna die.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, but you keep telling people you're gonna be off the air, too. I. I'm walking through Walmart the other day. A guy walks by me. Don't know the guy. Never seen him before. Never even says hi. Doesn. He just walks by me and goes, hey, John, taking that radio show off there.

[John Clay Wolf]

What. Who.

[J.D. Ryan]

Who are you? I Said no. I don't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. Our. Our 20th year will be in June and that's when we're gonna quit.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's when we're gonna quit.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I need time to build that Lamborghini. I got you.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, well, the guy in Walmart will be upset.

[Bobbo]

Do you got any callers there for the contest that have the answers right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, let's look. I don't have the answers, by the way, so this will. I'll let Bobbo handle it.

[Bobbo]

Guess the crew song.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wendy in Denver, Colorado. What are your two guesses?

[Caller/Guest]

I may have these out of order, but the first one is livewire. Motley crue. The second one is too young to fall in love.

[Michael Turley]

Damn. Wendy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wendy. A little bit better than it used to be. I love this song. Good job, wendy. Go to jcwshow.com click merch. Pick anything you like and we will mail it to you for being this week's winner. I'm gonna put you on hold and pre k. You can grab your information. Thank you.

[Caller/Guest]

No, sir. I guess that's just. This isn't my car.

[Michael Turley]

It's.

[Caller/Guest]

It's my mother in law's girlfriend for a couple of 80 year old women and there she's kind of looking to get rid of it. I think she's gonna go to a. I'll do something.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it breaking down on her?

[Caller/Guest]

I don't have a car.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. Because they're really bad about electrical problems. Like they're. This, that, that Cadillac XLR is one of the worst electrical problems cars we've ever traded. The tops always get screwed up. It's just that car's not worth a whole lot. I'd give eight grand for it. It.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, okay, well, I'll let, I'll let them know. I don't, I mean, like I said, I don't know exactly what the plan is. I just told them to give me the make, model and mileage and all that. I'd call in. I listen to y' all ever, ever Saturday.

[John Clay Wolf]

So make sure it's not a V. If it is a V, which is a hot rod, that's a different animal. And we'll give a lot more money if it's an XLR. Okay. Anyway, eight grand for an XLR with 108 on it. Thank you, sir. Go to. Give me the vinyl. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you everybody. Thank you. David. Thank you for calling. Thank you so much. Good morning. You're live on the radio. Oh, five Mustang Sho. What is a Mustang Sho? Or did he write that wrong down wrong?

[Caller/Guest]

No, it's shoes. It's my ex wife's car and it's, it's. Now I got to put a starter solenoid on it, but yeah, she, she, she just needs to get a car that she can drive around to work. And now I got this one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I'm familiar with a Ford Taurus. I'm familiar with the 05 Ford Taurus SHO. But I've never heard of a 05 Mustang SHO.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, it's an 05 SHO. I think it's a six cylinder.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

But it's all, it's all normal. It's all, you know, just the way it was.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's probably. God, I mean these cars aren't worth much. Probably a couple grand.

[Caller/Guest]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. Thank you, Rob. Bill Carlton in Houston can build that buggy frame on Lamborghini. Are you there? Yes.

[Announcer]

Hey, we're back for all things. Give me the VIN. Check out jcwshow.com and now, welcome back to the John Clay Wolf Show.

[John Clay Wolf]

And big shout out to our we call a fan club show support community.

[Bobbo]

The Wolf Pack.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Wolf Pack. A lot of them are on the YouTube stream chatting to each other and they've got a Facebook page called they Changed a Little Bit Nights and the.

[Bobbo]

Wolf Pack nights that say Neat.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I forgot. Anyway, it's the Wolf Pack. Good morning to all you guys.

[Michael Turley]

The nights that say sell that.

[Bobbo]

That's right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, like a Monty Python reference. So what happened? The. The Golden Globes. Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

She was great though, the host.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's her name?

[J.D. Ryan]

Nikki Glazer. Yeah, she did a great job. We had the kind of opening slam at CBS News. We played that one earlier. You want to hear it again?

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[J.D. Ryan]

Got number nine.

[Guest/Announcer]

I cannot believe the amount of star power we have in this room. Tonight. It's insane. There are so many A listers. And by A listers, I do mean people who are on a list that has been heavily redacted.

[Caller/Guest]

But.

[Guest/Announcer]

And the Golden Globe for best editing goes to. The Justice Department. And the award for most editing goes to. CBS News. Yes. CBS News, America's newest place to CBS News.

[J.D. Ryan]

She also gave the old, you know, Leonardo DiCaprio was there and was like, oh, you know, his girlfriend is so young. Explaining why she does that joke.

[Guest/Announcer]

At number 10, Leonardo DiCaprio is here for one man bun after another. What a career you've had. I mean, countless iconic performances. You've worked with every great director. You've won three Golden Globes, an Oscar. And the most impressive thing is that you were able to accomplish all of that before your girlfriend turned 30. I mean, it's just insane. I'm sorry I made that joke. It's cheap. You know what? I tried not to, but, like, we don't know anything else about you, man. Like, there's nothing else. Like, open up.

[John Clay Wolf]

You ever notice he's always squinting? Oh, always squinting. I wonder how that happened.

[Bobbo]

He's starting to look like Jack Young.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jack Nicholson.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, that last move. He had a moment or two with his daughter when he's like, I wonder.

[John Clay Wolf]

If his eyes are stuck that way from squinting to read his girlfriend's ID. Making sure it starts with a 2, too.

[Michael Turley]

It's like Michael Madsen. You know, Michael Madsen, the actor? He was in Reservoir dogs. He played Mr. Blonde.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[Michael Turley]

The murderous one. He had a deal where he'd look at people like, you know, second girl. That girl, we wronged her.

[Bobbo]

It's probably high.

[John Clay Wolf]

We deserve to die. Sean Penn was nominated for best neck veins.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. Speaking of that, she has a shot at Sean Penn to cut number 11.

[Guest/Announcer]

Sean Penn is also here. Hi, Sean. I love you, Sean. You're such an original. You know, everyone in this town is obsessed with looking younger. Meanwhile, Sean Penn is like, what if I slowly morph into a sexy leather handbag and I feel like it's hot. It's good. Not only such an amazing actor, but you're such a devoted humanitarian. I mean, I feel like a lot of actors talk the talk, but Sean Penn will actually go to the places in the world that need help the most, and he will do cocaine there. And I feel like we don't celebrate that. And, Sean, I did get permission to tell that joke from your two best friends, Charlie Sheen and El Chapo. So they say, hi.

[John Clay Wolf]

Blame it on that.

[J.D. Ryan]

She covers the whole Spectrum. New Hollywood, Old Hollywood.

[John Clay Wolf]

He looks so old. Sean Pen does.

[J.D. Ryan]

Looks awful.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think his cologne is Hickory Smoke and Mesquite flavored. Go ahead. So true. I had to get that in.

[J.D. Ryan]

She takes us. She takes a shot of New Hollywood and Old Hollywood cut number 12.

[Guest/Announcer]

Timothee Chalamet is here for Marty Supreme. This is interesting. Not a lot of people know this, but Timothee Chalamet is the first actor in history to have to put on muscle for a movie about ping pong. This is true. He gained over 60 ounces. It's insane. And lastly, Steve Martin and Martin Short keep proving to us that in this industry you are never, ever too old to still need money.

[Bobbo]

She's funny, but I mean, she's hot. So I think that makes it better, right? Yeah, it just.

[John Clay Wolf]

She was. She was smooth. Yeah, she was pro. She was very good. What's his name? Did a good job. The Family Guy.

[Bobbo]

Seth Mafarland.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Was he doing that a couple years ago or. He definitely hosted.

[Bobbo]

He did a show. Yeah. It wasn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, the ratings on those shows are like 20 of what they used to be.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, God. Yeah. Nobody watches them because most of the time they come out and do something political. Nobody wants to see them.

[Bobbo]

That I think it's because it's on television. Not on like Netflix.

[Michael Turley]

It's on the networks. Nobody's watching. The network has any.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, let's. Hands up who's watched a network show recently like abc, cbs, NBC or Fox.

[John Clay Wolf]

A new one defined recently. Ten years.

[J.D. Ryan]

Let's not just say in the last month.

[John Clay Wolf]

None.

[Michael Turley]

I mean Paramount, cbs. Paramount, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

But that's streaming. I'm talking about channel fair. Yeah, that's fair.

[Bobbo]

If it's not sports, I'm not on there.

[J.D. Ryan]

I haven't watched it.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's over, dude. Yeah, the whole thing's over.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sad. I would like to be an advertiser.

[John Clay Wolf]

On NBC, Google and YouTube. Google owns YouTube. They're taking over the world. They've got the sports now. YouTube TV does.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it's. It's weird. It's unbelievable. Speaking of political, people always say they love this show because I don't go political. And this is not me going political. If it is to you, then that's to you problem. But I think it's ironic that, you know, we basically went and kidnapped Pablo Escobar as a president.

[Michael Turley]

A Maduro.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not his name, but okay. And then we just say, hey, we're taking all your oil.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, you've been doing that too. While we're here.

[John Clay Wolf]

While we're here, we're gonna go ahead and loot the place.

[J.D. Ryan]

At three o' clock in the morning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hello.

[J.D. Ryan]

You might be coming with us.

[John Clay Wolf]

Housekeeping. And I'm sure there's good reasons, but I talked to a friend of mine that was a general in the army and he's Cuban, and we were talking about all this stuff, but I just. I think that. I just don't think China and Russia are going to let us get away. Normally, when mob hits go down and you go into a territory and you take it, then the other mob bosses call you and say you're going to cut it up.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I just. How can that not happen if we claim that their oil is ours? Because Russia and China are buying a lot of that oil.

[Michael Turley]

It's pure cat. It's pure capitalism is what it is. You look at the first five families, you know, in the Mafia, New York, turn of the century, it's so you got to divvy it up.

[Caller/Guest]

Right.

[Michael Turley]

You know, you must allow us to take the water from the well.

[Caller/Guest]

I mean, we're not.

[John Clay Wolf]

My beak. Yeah. We've got Tommy Carbone in here to give us a little an idea of.

[J.D. Ryan]

What happens behind the scenes.

[Michael Turley]

That's the. You know, I'm impressed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, that's.

[Michael Turley]

Bobo's making pretty good references from the. The Gad Father. That's a good movie.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Have you ever seen the Gaffer?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's not all of them.

[Michael Turley]

Have you ever watched it? Two times.

[J.D. Ryan]

Never watched it.

[Michael Turley]

Watch it one time.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

You'll have a little thing, little ingredients. Watch it again twice. Makes a lot more sense when you got a good stomach on it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Gotcha.

[Michael Turley]

Yeah, that's what, you know, it's what they do. You got the Colombians got the cocaine, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Peru's making better cocaine I'm hearing these days. And when that, that. When that slaughter market happens, it's gonna happen big. You know what I'm talking about?

[John Clay Wolf]

I think we do.

[Michael Turley]

I think you know what I'm talking about. Meanwhile, you got El Salvador. And that was it. Where's the place where they. They got the. Is it right at the end of the Yucatan? It's a little Belize.

[John Clay Wolf]

Belize? Yeah, Belize.

[J.D. Ryan]

These are great island.

[Michael Turley]

Prettiest hookers you ever saw.

[J.D. Ryan]

Didn't know this.

[Michael Turley]

Prettiest hookers you ever saw. Now, a lot of them are transgender.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Watch your lay.

[Michael Turley]

Oh, well, you gotta depend on what you want. But it's all capitalism is what they say. Now with the oil, you know, that's going to be everywhere. But, you know, China's got no use for oil.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, they do.

[Bobbo]

They do.

[Michael Turley]

They're not going anywhere.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, they got.

[Michael Turley]

They got no. They got no.

[John Clay Wolf]

Before we cut off because we've got to go to break.

[Michael Turley]

No airplanes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want your take Tommy Carbone on. If you take your car and there's a cop standing in front of you and you hit the cop with it after some talk, back and forth and then. And he hits his head on it and then you put it in gear like you're gonna hit him again and you get shot. Are you surprised?

[Michael Turley]

I would never do that. First thing, I would get Mickey Darth Vader that they carried at.

[Bobbo]

Oh, what does he do?

[John Clay Wolf]

We don't have time for him.

[Michael Turley]

Mickey Darth Vader is one of. One of my boys. He carries around this toy lightsaber, maintains it on and it goes. But it's only plastic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's plastic.

[Michael Turley]

Let me tell you. Have you ever been whacked with one of these things it hates?

[John Clay Wolf]

It hates.

[Michael Turley]

So you could hit a cop with that. Maybe it doesn't kill you.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. And remember, people that are going to be emailing me during the week about what I said because we brought this up last week.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to the podcast this afternoon when it goes [e-mail] and listen again to exactly what I said before you start quoting me on what I said, because you. I get these wild liberal emails that.

[J.D. Ryan]

Are attacking me that probably didn't hear the show.

[John Clay Wolf]

They don't understand. No, they heard what I said, but they heard it the way they want. Wanted to hear it through their filter. Yes, yes. What I said is very out there. It's recorded. You got it. But please go back and listen to it to make sure that you maybe write it down and read it to yourself before you hit me. We'll be right back.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm worth a lot more.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm worth a lot more. I'm worth more. You know what? You're right. @givemethevin.com you are worth more and your car's worth more. And we want to pay more at Give me the vin. Because good cars are worth more and so are you. For top price, trust, and ease of transaction. Give me the vin.com, america's best car buyer.

Tom in Florida. You've got a 68 vet hard top, 60,000 miles, 350 engine. Bought it seven years ago. Restoring, but not. But you're finished putting money into it. What's it need left to be good? The.

[Caller/Guest]

Windshield wiper actuators and motor hasn't been completed with the new vacuum lines where actually the tank's been replaced with a new tank and was preparing for it to have all of the new tank to be able to operate the headlights and the wiper assembly.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it need paint?

[Caller/Guest]

No, actually $10,000 worth of body work and paint into the 68. I've been working on it for six and a half years with money.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's the interior look like for my.

[Caller/Guest]

Brand new. Everything's brand new. Brand new leather, brand new panels, brand new. It's, it's so it's a good looking.

[John Clay Wolf]

Car that's got a vacuum. The vacuum's not finished on it.

[Caller/Guest]

And actually John, I, I had paid for electric headlights so that I would actually have the ability for what I was told is they have such a hard time running the Valent and, and the, the wiper system itself needed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you Cocoa Beach?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Cocoa beach, that's where Sullins lives. I could send him over there, check it out. Okay, I'm gonna go send my buddy over there to look at it. I'm heading to Tampa to do a 50 car find. And this guy's also got like 25, 427 engines. And to buy the cars we got to buy all the parts. And he's got 10 truckloads worth of parts. This is gonna be complicated. These people, they find us, they're just.

[J.D. Ryan]

Reaching out the word.

[John Clay Wolf]

But I will do it. I will. There's 50 cars and then all these parts. I'll have to find a parts man to just. I just want to sell all the parts to parts guy. But he said you can't buy the cars out of parts because he's losing his lease and we've got it.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, while, while your man's here, I have a 66 Mustang convertible, class A, a code V8, three speed with everything there needing a full AC. It's AC. It's, it's AC car. Everything's there. It needs a full restoration and I just haven't been able to put funds into it. And it's, it's, it should be I should put it somewhere that someone could do that.

[John Clay Wolf]

There are Facebook pages called unfinished projects, and all of these guys that don't. I probably should join it, actually. The people that. That run into their unfinished projects, they start swapping, like, bucket, like, boxes and frames of stuff that they didn't finish.

[Bobbo]

I'll finish that one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I'll finish that one. So I would go to that, because I'm. I'm gonna bid you so crazy low. I don't want it. It's just not. Not what I do on the unfinished project. But. But I will look at this other car.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, John Clay, it took. It took me at least an hour and a half just to get up the gumption to call. I don't know if there's anybody else that it's intimidating to call you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, don't be. I mean.

[Caller/Guest]

But. But then while I told my friend that has let me have my car on his property, storing it, that I was having you live, he said, well, let me. Let me tell him about my, like, what year is it? 65 Corvette here.

[Bobbo]

I'm gonna let.

[Caller/Guest]

Is it finished, and your guy can look at it.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. Is that one finished?

[Caller/Guest]

Hold on one sec.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't want to look at unfinished cars. I've got enough unfinished cars in my own to look at. Hey, you've got a 65 vet that's finished. Is it. Is it ready to go.

[Caller/Guest]

Right? Yeah, it's all original.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, cool.

[Caller/Guest]

65 Corvette that. It was kind of. Kind of rare. I've worked on Corvettes all my life, restored them and showed them, and even worked with General motors on a couple of cars in the past. But this particular car is a 65 that was sold in Augusta, Georgia. A part of that there has what I think is factory side pipes. I know that motor, but I think they were. It's just 327, 350 horse. Original.

[John Clay Wolf]

What engine? I mean, what's rainy?

[Caller/Guest]

Original motor, four speed. I think they only had the one. You know, when. The rock crusher.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. In the paint.

[Caller/Guest]

Everything inside is black, and it's original. The paint on the outside. In 1987, the front end was painted due to a carburetor fire. And then I painted the rear clip for the first time a year and a half ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not worried about when it got painted as much as. Is it good, or do we have to replace it, repaint it?

[Caller/Guest]

You don't have to repaint it. No, I mean, it looks great.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what I'm asking. These big Items. The body line, the interior. You know, if. If we got to spend money to make it nice. All right, well, let me look at both. And you. Okay, thank you. Thank y' all for calling.

[Caller/Guest]

This is a factory.

[John Clay Wolf]

A factory rig. I got you. I got you. We'll get all the details go to gmtvgarage.com in a click. Email John, and y' all send me this information. Thank you very much. Much. Take some pictures of that ugly and send them to me. No, it ain't an ugly. That's Turley putting a drop on me. It's fine. I got sent from Joe. Would you? Joe. Oh, show Joe, would you? 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

[J.D. Ryan]

It can be intimidating to call you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Time for mail from jail.

[Bobbo]

It is just like it's intimidating to have Johnny come in a room.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

Hello, I'm Johnny King.

[Caller/Guest]

John.

[Michael Turley]

This week's Meal from Jail entry reads. What's up, John? Clay Wolf. My name's Ernesto, and I'm from Beaumont, Texas. I listen every weekend to get my laugh on and get my mind off time passing. Hey, you and J.D. ryan and Bobbo have a great thing going. I really can't tell you who's my favorite. Y' all are all so funny. You know, Christmas is coming, gone. It makes me miss my family a lot. I'd kill a man again to get some of my abuelas tamales. Just kidding. I'm here for fraud, not murder. Don't get nervous. Hopefully when I get out, I'll have a plate waiting for me. Sounds like you've got a good thing going in Walnut Springs, too. Pardon? If you need welders in a few years, let me know.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go.

[Michael Turley]

Me and my TO ran a welding biz for quite a while. Any chance we can get an update on the Mexican Star Wars? By the way, that's a set I'd like to visit. I bet the catering's on point. I hope you all have a good holiday. Say a prayer for your boy Ernesto here. Also want to give a shout out to the Mendez family and especially my little girl, Christina.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay?

[Michael Turley]

I love you, sweetheart. Your friend, Ernesto Mendez, Federal Department of Corrections, Houston, Texas. Partner, if you've got mail from jail, just send it on down the line to us here at P.O. box 471517. That is in Fort Worth, Texas. The zip code is 76147.

[Bobbo]

Looks like you got a welder there two years from now.

[John Clay Wolf]

But absolutely, that's about when we'll be ready to get it finished. When you start with the frame though, Bosque Cantina is really good. It is.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a great little Mexican joint you got. Dude. Seriously, you put it together there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Felipe or Minton Undead. You know, I'm a little offended by what little Mexican joint?

[J.D. Ryan]

How is that offensive?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, just. Is that racist?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it's not racist.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, joint, weed.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, God.

[John Clay Wolf]

Little short, little Mexican man. Little Mexican joint.

[Michael Turley]

I just think Mexican's a specific detail.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll bet 20 years from now that that that's a banned term. But it goes away like midgets.

[J.D. Ryan]

I can't say little Mexican joint. Talking about your restaurant.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's not even my restaurant. It's just, you know, I'm just taking up for the Hispanic community as a whole.

[Bobbo]

So you think somebody's offended by calling it a little Mexican?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't think anybody's thought about it like this to be offended yet, but I'd like to start a new offended term. I think little Mexican joint. That's what you're gonna be is. Is offensive. Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

My friend John, he's a car man and I think he'd agree if you call him a car man.

[John Clay Wolf]

But you know what else?

[J.D. Ryan]

What?

[Michael Turley]

He's got him a little Mexican joint downtown there. Boy, they make the best case of this.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's a secret right here. Yes.

[Michael Turley]

You get this, you get this queso dip off the menu.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, okay.

[Michael Turley]

Not on the menu anywhere. They put guacamole in the queso and I know how gross that sounds.

[John Clay Wolf]

Fits perfect. And sour cream and ground beef. Best.

[Michael Turley]

Best chips for eight counties away.

[John Clay Wolf]

Best little Mexican quesadilla joint. JCW dip.

[Bobbo]

Now, when you say it with a country accent, it does sound racist.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I mean, I think little Mexican joint is more racist than the Washington Redskins.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, I can.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, I agree.

[J.D. Ryan]

I concur.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Washington Redskins. Come on.

[Michael Turley]

Find a Native American to agree with you.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's tons of them that would agree with you. Native Americans left and right say, this is ridiculous. They're offended that they took it down. Find me one call in right now. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. If you're a card carrying Mexican. I mean, a card carrying Indian. Card carrying Indian.

[J.D. Ryan]

He just can't help it.

[John Clay Wolf]

And. And you're offended that they removed the Washington Redskins moniker. Please call in. 800-800-7234. My name is John Clay. Well, we will be right back. Alex in Memphis, Tennessee. Does 20 grand buy your lightning?

[Caller/Guest]

No, no, no.

[John Clay Wolf]

What buys it? Couldn't do that. Oh man.

[Caller/Guest]

I was thinking more closer to the 4050 range.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, you need to get a lot less miles. Yeah, you need to get a lot less miles. Oh yeah, yeah.

[Bobbo]

How many miles?

[John Clay Wolf]

I hear you, but I buy and sell them. I sold a 500. 500? 500 mile one in plastic the other day for 55. Yours has 54, 000.

[Caller/Guest]

Pretty awesome, dude. What'd that one go for?

[John Clay Wolf]

55, 000 with 500 miles? Yeah. Oh, nice. Your truck's worth mid-20s. 20s. Thank you.

[Announcer]

From the Wolf radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf show presented.

By gimmethevin.com I. I just walked over to the bathroom and my foot is hurting. My bad.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, it's broken.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's been two. Two weeks. It should be getting better, but.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it's broken. You've got to get a boot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I've got a wrap. You know I was thinking about this earlier. I was thinking about 80s commercials.

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you remember all the weird people PSAs like Sally Struthers all the time? Yeah, the kids and giving the kids.

[J.D. Ryan]

Back with flies on their heads.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what it was. On their head.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's what it was.

[John Clay Wolf]

I bet that was a racket.

[J.D. Ryan]

You know, it was the guys with.

[John Clay Wolf]

The cap and let's go over to Africa and film some flies on these kids head swing. Steal people's money.

[J.D. Ryan]

[John Clay Wolf]

Have they ever cured sickle cell anemia? There was a lot of commercials for sickle cell anemia that I remember watching and I was not watching the. The wb. This was like on.

[Bobbo]

It wasn't on bet is what you're saying.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't you remember those sickle cells? Because I didn't know what sickle cell and I still have. They cured sickle cell Pre K. Have they cured it?

[Bobbo]

No, it's still a problem.

[John Clay Wolf]

Somebody google that up because I bet they have. I mean they've. They've done all this great scientific advancement. I. I would think that they. They fixed sickle cell anemia by now. Are you worried about how do you fix it?

[J.D. Ryan]

Bone. Bone marrow transfer. A bone marrow transfer. That's how they fix it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, if I swapped with somebody like that then they would get a broken foot and I would be able to dance better. What?

[J.D. Ryan]

Nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

What?

[J.D. Ryan]

Nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Joel an humble Texas 68 Chevy C10 regular cab 383 stroker. You got to turn the volume down in the background.

[Caller/Guest]

Aluminum head.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. I'm.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm off. I'm on radio packing right here. I've got 411 posi track, Outback 750 double pumper. Edelbrock intake scored over 30, 11 to.

[John Clay Wolf]

1 pop up pistons. Turbojet 390 horsepower. We're talking some muscle. Says you want 20 at 75 restored. I'm. If I'm buying projects, I'm buying them where I can make something or I'm not going to do them. Them.

[Caller/Guest]

I. I know, I know. And that's why I wanted to call because I know you said you don't like buying full on other people's project, but I came on hard times and I just need to move it, so. But I appreciate you taking my call.

[John Clay Wolf]

I will. I'll probably give 10,000, but I need pictures. Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

It's got 20 by 15s in the rear, narrowed rear end. It's on air ride. Basically needs interior and some light work and paint.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right, so. So is it set up like a drag truck? Does it have that white.

[Caller/Guest]

Really a drag?

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it have that white trash mobile park look to it? Like the guy that just won the lottery at the mobile park? At the mobile home park?

[Caller/Guest]

No, Sir. These are 2015. They're billet wheels. They were custom built. It's got Mickey Thompson's on it. It's got their 20s billet. So it looks really good. It's laid out. It doesn't lay full frame but. But it gets really low. I wanted a good ride out of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

So are the front tires, are the front wheels different than the back wheels?

[Caller/Guest]

No, sir.

[Michael Turley]

Good.

[Caller/Guest]

Same. Same wheel, just a different size.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Charlie, do you remember that one we bought that was kind of Roddy like that and it had shaved door handles and that auxiliary fuel tank in the back. And we gave 20 grand for it and sold it for 17.

[Bobbo]

Didn't have a scoop or some.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's just all geeked out. The guy did an incredible job restoring it. We had all the pictures. Pictures, you know, we bought it for 20. He's like, you're robbing me. You're robbing me. So I sell it for 17 and the dealer that bought it from me arbitrated it through the auction. And then I sold it the next time for 16. After shipping, I lose five grand. But I'm robbing him. Robbing him blind.

[Caller/Guest]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I'm thinking 10,000 if I can paint it and Make a truck out of it and turn it into. I need to be able. This truck needs to bring 25 grand on my end, and I put 7,000 in it. I'm working on large margin if I'm messing with old projects.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to givemethe.com go to givemetheven.com and load it up and put in some pictures of current situation. And thank you so much for calling.

[Bobbo]

There's a lot of ifs in there, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

A lot of ifs. I think. I think we might be turned into a $7,000 truck before it's all over.

[Bobbo]

If we do this.

[J.D. Ryan]

A lot of people with projects recently. I mean, really, everybody's coming at you with car. My garage has been dusty.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, dusty's fine.

[J.D. Ryan]

I know. Just. I mean, they've been sitting around for a very long time. Well, it's been a couple years since we've cranked her up, but I've done my.

[John Clay Wolf]

I spent some car some time with Dennis Collins last Tuesday. We went through his whole place, and he. He's a car encyclopedia kind of guy, and he showed me some cars that would have completely missed me, but that I have a lot of value. You know, this 71 Mustang convertible is special because it's the only one they made in this color with this transmission, and it has a race front end from the factory. You know, stuff like that. I'm not that geeked out that I know that stuff, so. But Dennis will answer my questions. He'll help us with them. Oh, God, look at what I just did. That means everybody's gonna send.

[Bobbo]

Oh, yeah, no, no, exactly.

[John Clay Wolf]

Just. Just send that stuff to Dennis. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. We had a request for an update from not Tony Romo's father, but. On the Mexican Star Wars. It's a big. He's been working on it. He's been working on Mexican Star wars, trying to get it to film to the movies. As long as I've been working on the fire chicken. Yeah.

[Bobbo]

He's gonna finish first.

[Michael Turley]

Yes, yes. Thank you for mentioning Mr. Wolf without a War. Wonderful, wonderful project going. This is now. This is episode three.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, I have a question from you specifically for you, Juan Solo from Mark in Nashville, Tennessee.

[Michael Turley]

See?

[John Clay Wolf]

Hold on. Mark, are you there? Please ask Juan Solo your question.

[Caller/Guest]

Buenos dias, Juan Lobo.

[Michael Turley]

Buenos dias.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mark.

[Caller/Guest]

Houston has more restaurants than any city in the world. And I've always wondered if there's Hispanics working in the kitchen at the Chinese buffet. Is it still Mexican?

[John Clay Wolf]

Food.

[Michael Turley]

No one makes it better Americanizes Chinese food than the Mexicans. We just know if you doesn't matter to want the sweet or the savory or the sour. We know how to do this all in one dish or in mail. It's true too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sabe?

[Michael Turley]

See?

[John Clay Wolf]

Adios. Thank you. Adios. Go ahead with your update. Juan. Juan Solo. Not one lobo.

[Michael Turley]

We've had it at this time. We changed a lot of sets because some of the things happening in some of the environments where we work. Well, you know, we had sets on. On the seashore.

[J.D. Ryan]

It sets on the seashore.

[Michael Turley]

On the sea. Teacher. Yeah, in Venezuela.

[J.D. Ryan]

In Venezuela.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no.

[Michael Turley]

These times are over. Or now. Not that we don't like the Venezuela. We all love them or the Mr. Trumpe.

[J.D. Ryan]

Trump.

[John Clay Wolf]

Boot, boot.

[Michael Turley]

These are not the kind of bullies that we deal with on a movie set.

[J.D. Ryan]

No fake bullies.

[Michael Turley]

We learned this from the hookers who play the stormtroopers.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh yeah.

[Michael Turley]

In episodes they uno and those. But for episode dressing, we have moved things to a much better place. Cuba.

[J.D. Ryan]

You're going to Cuba?

[Michael Turley]

Who would think there is a dentist office in Cuba?

[J.D. Ryan]

Dentist office.

[Michael Turley]

Just off a third day in Guadanale Guadalupe. See? And the inside of the dentist office with a little, little set dressing look just like the inside of the number two death Star.

[Bobbo]

Oh, really?

[Michael Turley]

In Cuba, where the little baby pants Luke Skywalker face his father. Okay, Darth Vandor for the final confrontation.

[John Clay Wolf]

Boot, boot, boot.

[Michael Turley]

Also in the room and sitting in the dentist chair or something is the evil emperor. Guess who we got to play the emperor or who is playing the emperor? This was a hands down jack pot.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, you got a big deal of a higher.

[Michael Turley]

I don't know how we did it, but someone mentioned possible cocaine habit. Okay, but have you heard of the famous actor Carlos Estes? Carlos est known in your country as Charlie Sheen?

[J.D. Ryan]

Charlie Sheen, Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

She is our evil emperor. That. Thank you very much. He is so good for a Spanish language. You feel he doesn't speak a lot of Spanish?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, he doesn't speak Spanish at all.

[Michael Turley]

But it's so effective though. The importer put lightning on little baby pants. Look, skyrockets. Darth Vader said stop this. Don't do this to my boy. And the evil imperial of says, get out of my office or I kill you dead.

[J.D. Ryan]

Get out of my office.

[Michael Turley]

More cocaine, Leah. Or he has captured the princess Leah. And that's very sexy outfit.

[Bobbo]

She's this Code Kane guy girl.

[Michael Turley]

Huh? See, it's wonderful time. And we will after. After the death of the emperor. I don't know the spoiler, but the plot is 60 years old.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Michael Turley]

We bring back more stormtroopers. And that means what? More hookers back to the United States. And fresh hookers from New Mexico. May the horse be with juice.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, Juan Solo. Thank you, Scott in Lake Charles, Louisiana, real quick, what's your message?

[Caller/Guest]

[Caller/Guest]

I. I drive it around. It's. It's. It could be restored back to its original condition, but I took stuff out of it to make it light. So, I mean, it could be put back, but I'm not de. Don't really want to sell it. I've had it 20 years while my brother, he passed away. I'm just curious whether it be worth 10 grand. That's probably got 2, 000 miles on motor. 400 horsepower, new transmission and new gear. 373 in it, 15 inch tires, fiberglass, 8 inch cow front hood. Other than that, nothing special. Just something fun burning rubber with and try to stay out of trouble.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you got to find the buyer looking for the unique bins is what I'm thinking.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so we've got a. We've got a satanist Pontiac Solstice seller out of Iowa. This is not something you come across the Antichrist. Okay, so you think maybe a religious person could pay a little extra for the VIN number because it's got 666 in it.

[Caller/Guest]

I think someone into dark side might be interested in it. Or just for the unique vin.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you think the devil stamp on this car is worth in value? Like how much? More than a normal one.

[Caller/Guest]

Didn't they not sell a 666 Hellcat for some crazy amount of money?

[John Clay Wolf]

I do, man. God, I mean, I did. I do have a wife and kids. I got to do other things besides watch all car shows and all auctions, but. Yes. I don't. Probably. But anyway, if this car is worth five grand like it normally is and you want 12 for it, I assume you're putting a $7,000 premium on the devil stamp.

[Caller/Guest]

I haven't looked up the value of it recently. Five grand seems low for five or 50,000 miles. Bolsters.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mm. Well, I'm a Christian, and I don't want your devil music or devil car or Satan lifestyle around me, so I'm gonna hang up before I catch it 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Brian has a 93 top kept dump truck with a gas engine and it's a two speed transmission, manual 18 foot bed. 18 yard or 18 foot.

[Caller/Guest]

18 foot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Man, I don't know.

[Caller/Guest]

It's got 42 inch metal side rails.

[Bobbo]

You get some weird stuff.

[John Clay Wolf]

Some weird stuff today.

[Caller/Guest]

I know. I thought maybe this would be the day to call you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is 7500 sound right?

[Caller/Guest]

You're getting close. I was hoping a little more than that, around 9,000. But it make somebody a good work truck to clean up around job site.

[John Clay Wolf]

South of the border. Go to give me the vin.com and load it up. Let's take a look, see. Thank you. We'll be right back. I gotta go. I've got to go relieve myself and cleanse my brain from all this devil dump truck talk.

[Announcer]

The John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, well, he's very popular. The sportos and motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads, they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.

[Announcer]

John Clay wolf.

[J.D. Ryan]

By the time you were nine, if you got my dad a beer, your reward was a sip. I'm pretty sure that's not many parenting handbooks today.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here, take a sip of that.

[Caller/Guest]

Don't tell your mother.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's my boy.

[Caller/Guest]

And the old man knew what he was doing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cause by the fourth beer, I was going for him. I got you, baby. Me one. I get him right over there.

[Announcer]

We now return to the John Clay wolf show, the number one weekend morning show in America.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Richard Rollins from Gas monkeys on four, but I want to grab Kevin in Denver real quick. Kevin, you put a bid, you loaded your Porsche into give me the vin and we we're gonna buy it from you for 19. And then we realized it was a Canadian import and we backed it up to 16.

[Caller/Guest]

Correct?

[John Clay Wolf]

That's correct. What is it?

[Caller/Guest]

That is correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like what year and what model? In miles It's a 29.

[Caller/Guest]

There's a 2019 Macan X.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's con S? Oh, Mcanus. Mcanus. Yeah. There's a hell of a discount between American versions and Canadian versions.

[Caller/Guest]

And I get that, John Clay, but let me tell you something real quick. Your boys had hooked me up. They said they were gonna buy the car. We signed agreements through the, the docu sign and all that. And then he comes back and he says, oh, you know what? We missed this.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

So the only reason I'm calling today, John, the only reason I'm calling today is telling boys to take looks for that stuff. I sold the car yesterday to give me the.

[John Clay Wolf]

To give me the what? Wait, are you still there? I lost him.

[Caller/Guest]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Rollins, what's up top much that Canadian. If everybody says Canadians don't get mad, that one's mad. Canadian cars are worth work. They're just worth less. I mean, they're just worth less. I can't help it.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, they're good. They're goodbye right now because the Canadian dollars weak.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you doing this morning, boss man?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm sitting up here looking at this challenger. Yours is supposed to go to the Barrett and it's still sitting here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna have to send Mike out there like smoking the bandit style in our own trailer. If it doesn't get, get, get picked up today, They've got it reassigned to another hauler. And he's supposed to be there today at five, but. What?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I had a guy deliver me, deliver me an old Phillips 66 sign that's like 16ft tall and 10ft wide. You know, all builds poolside.

[John Clay Wolf]

And what did you pay for that sign?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I got a pretty good deal. I paid 4,500 and 500 to get it here for five grand. They usually sell for around 12 to 15 grand.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's into these signs, man, and he's really got a hell of a collection. It just blows me away with these old signs. Road art bring. It's just freaks me out. Like did that sign I bought from you for 3,000, was that a deal or did you get to me a little bit?

[Caller/Guest]

That was straight up fair price. I didn't get over on you needing get over on me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I didn't even have a chance to because I just took your word for it. Well, thank you. Your boy Steve mabry has, has. There's plenty to talk about there. Yeah, yeah, he told me that was.

[Caller/Guest]

Gonna luck with that.

[John Clay Wolf]

That I did.

[Caller/Guest]

I told you he ain't gonna finish it. But what about this mechan going on right now? Dana is setting some world records.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I don't know why that's happening. I, I don't understand. I've seen plenty of cars selling kissimmee in the past 24 hours that are mind blowing.

[Caller/Guest]

I sold the freaking Porsche 918 for five and a half million dollars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you know that we looked at that car at 3.2 and passed past.

[Caller/Guest]

And that's just mind blowing to me. Because I, I. My buddy here in Dallas bought one one year ago. For, like, less than 2.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. But it's got to be a wysock, and it's got to be this and that. And that was a paint to sample, but so what? I mean, yeah, A rising tide lifts all. That's why I told my buddy, that's got a 918. I said, you can update your personal financial statement. At least half a million dollars off of that comp all day long.

[Caller/Guest]

So you ready for big bear Jackson next week?

[John Clay Wolf]

I am. You know, I was. I was. I've got six cars out there, and. Oh, I'm glad we're talking about this. We should do this right now. We talked about a little bit yesterday. You're still. So Richard and I. Here's what happened. Chip foo's car came into gas. Monkey buys, he's out of town. It goes to our backup guy, Jason. Love that he and I both use and Jason. So I had to make the decision with Jason While Richard was out of town, I was out of town, and we bought this car for $140,000. And when Richard came back, he said, dude, why'd you pay 140,000? I said, well, Jason said it was right. It'll work. He said, I don't think it'll work. So we've been saying all along. I was like, hey, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Well, the car's going across the block on next Saturday. And I told Richard, I said, it's coming up. Do you want to be 50% of the loss or 50% of the gain? You didn't have anything to do with this. It's not your fault. It's my fault. So I want.

[Caller/Guest]

I don't want to be part of the loss, But I would like to be part of the game.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you do have an inkling in your brain that it might be a.

[Caller/Guest]

Game, being that it's a Saturday car. Is it in the afternoon?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm sure. I mean, it's not going to be in the evening. It's not expensive enough.

[Caller/Guest]

And being its chips build. I know you're putting me on the spot on purpose, but absolutely.

[Michael Turley]

I'm gonna.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm gonna take the ride with you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, chip did say that he would come rep it, and I have not asked him about that or reminded him about that. So I will bump him to see if he wants to do that. I'd rather hold a favor that I. That. That, you know, if I'm gonna call a favor on him, I'd rather it be something else. Not that this couldn't make a big. Because his repping could make a. A $30,000 difference.

[Caller/Guest]

I think it could make a $50,000 difference. And it is the right car. I mean, I got no problems with the car at all. It's beautiful. It's. It's correct, it's good. It's just, where's it going to fall?

[John Clay Wolf]

So now that you've made your decision and you're taking the ride, I will put my cards on the table and explain to you why I called you again and offered you this one more time, because I'm with you, okay? But I've been watching Mechanismi and I've been watching these prices change on some of the great stuff. I'm like, this car's got a little bit better chance based off of the market that we're seeing right now in Kissimmee than it had before.

[Caller/Guest]

Now we've got two problems or two.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go ahead.

[Caller/Guest]

Go ahead. Now, Kendall, there's two factors in it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go ahead with your. Your two factors. And I'll tell you my point.

[Caller/Guest]

There's two factors in it. It costs four or five hundred thousand dollars to get a car built now down. And there's also not enough craftsmen doing it. There's not enough shops like mine or Chips or Troy's or anybody's that can turn them out in any set of speed either. We're in an international. We want right now satisfaction. So, you know, you're better to pay $300,000 for something that's like what. That is what you want and, and have it today, you know, Otherwise you're going to pay 5, 600,000 and have it in two years maybe.

[John Clay Wolf]

However. Did you see Ken dig Cars yesterday run at Mechum? In all, no sale.

[Caller/Guest]

I did not see that.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's surprising.

[Caller/Guest]

He thinks his cars are, you know, 800 to me and million two, stuff like that. And I love his cars. I'm not going to say that they're not worth that. I just. I don't know if I would pay.

[John Clay Wolf]

That the guy from Graveyard Cars. Was it Graveyard Cars, Turley that called in earlier?

[Bobbo]

Junkyard.

[John Clay Wolf]

Junkyard.

[Bobbo]

Junkyard cards, I think something like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mass. He had a Discovery show, junkyard empire. Do you know him? He was on Discovery.

[Caller/Guest]

No, I don't. I don't remember that. He's probably our motor trend, but I don't remember that show.

[John Clay Wolf]

He said the same thing everybody says whenever their show left is when the. The network crashed. He just called in to sell me a car out of nowhere. It Happened to be a dump truck. And I was like, out of all the great cars you handle, you want to call me on it? Dump truck. That shows where I fit in your brain on the food chain. But anyway, so we've got. I've sent six cars out there. I mean, I already told them earlier in the show. I don't know. It's not that big. I mean, our YouTube audience and our radio audience, I mean, they cross over a little bit, but Nothing like the YouTube audience. But I'm. I. Well, I won't say it, but you know what I'm talking about. How are the guys? Are they. Are they. How the Ferrari come along?

[Bobbo]

The Ferrari? Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, since we didn't make it, I let him. I let him have the weekend. But it's. It's a car now. I mean, drive shafts, everything. Wheels, tires are here. It's. It's gonna be a moving vehicle probably by next Friday.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's amazing. We're excited about it. It's turning out even better than we thought after they completely rebuilt it and it'll. I'm super excited about that, actually. Motivated enough. Did you see the pictures I sent you a minute ago?

[Caller/Guest]

I did. You were trying to make into a Lamborghini Huracan Gallardo off road thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

So the key, something we don't have in our skill set is a frame fabricator, a tube fabricator. And I know your guys can do it, but your guys are super busy. Is that a. Is that a real skilled craft or can a guy that. That do I need to be real picky about the person I have build the tube frame for it?

[Caller/Guest]

I would. And we can have Josh maybe sketch out what you need to do and then have somebody do it. But yeah, crunch zones and where the weight's gonna hit and you know, that's. That's serious stuff because you can get yourself hurt real bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

And what. What shop equipment do you need to be able to build it? Obviously a cutter and a welder. Duh. But as far as big machinery, you need a rail bender. But can you bend those rails?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I'd go to Bailey Industrial and. And get. They've got everything you need. They're the ones that have been supplying me for 15 years.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you guys are. You guys are doing a. Tell me about your. My guys asked if they could attend. You and Bailey are doing a shop or a course or something?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I believe it's in April. We're doing a metal shaping class. We did one last year too. It's a. It's a two day class on a Friday and a Saturday. And they bring a ton more equipment to add to all of my equipment. And everybody gets to learn from them. Some of the best metal fabricators on the planet.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's pretty cool. That's one of the neatest tricks in the bag. Watching whatever what y' all do over there, the. The cows and the. And the fenders and the things you fabricated for that Ferrari. That's where it gets out of my. I'm like, I can't get my brain.

[Caller/Guest]

Around the wing setup really came out like I had it in my head. So I'm pretty stoked on that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mm. So you guys, real quick, I'll give you a plug because that's what I'd want to plug if I was on your show. You guys are doing a giveaway of a Lamborghini off road stirrado.

[Caller/Guest]

Is that right, Serrado? Yeah. It ends in two weeks. As of today, we overlap. So if you. If you go toGas Monkey Garage.com and buy anything, you get entries to win either the Lamborghini serato or a 2026 Cadillac Black Wing. And you're in it for both cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you asked me if we wanted to do the show from the Ice house on the 31st, and I asked the guys and they said yes. So let's do it. Let's do that. In. In what, what else?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm having a car show also. It's gonna be a big car show. I will have some information on how to sign up for that. And so we'll have a big car show going on from 10 to 1, 10 to 2, and you'll be doing your show from 8 on. And I'll be there. And it should be fun.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'll be there. And we'll have some buyers too. If y' all want to sell anything, you bring some cars over. Gas Monkey, Ice House, January 31st, Saturday. And I will see you. Now I'm going. I'm going Wednesday afternoon to. You're. You're taking commercial, right?

[Bobbo]

He's not flying with you?

[John Clay Wolf]

No. Yeah, I'm going.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm going. I'm going to Thursday morning and I'm gonna kind of hide for a little while because my job that I have to do on the charity car is at like 7, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller/Guest]

After 7:30, I can get crazy.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, I'll see you in. I'll see you in Scottsdale. Thanks for calling in.

[Announcer]

Back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by Give me the thanks for making us number one.

[John Clay Wolf]

The new Toyota Land Cruiser looks like the 90s Isuzu trooper there.

[Bobbo]

Oh, I see that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I said it.

[Bobbo]

No, you're right.

[John Clay Wolf]

They really do.

[Michael Turley]

All Econo down.

[John Clay Wolf]

Shout out to the Wolf Pack fan club. Thank you guys for hanging in there. And I. I was asking, there's a handful of y', all, like, 35 people that are paying $5 a month to be in the membership deal on our YouTube. And I was asking our guys, what do they get for $5 a month? He said, like, they get a little star and a color on their YouTube chat. I'm like, that's not enough. But 35 people isn't enough to be doing separate stuff. So I kind of feel guilty. I, like, want to turn that off or figure out something we could do more.

[Bobbo]

Send them some gear.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I mean, sorry, you didn't see, like, I didn't want to spend. I mean, the gear cost 20 bucks, and then the shipping's 15 or 20 and never mind.

[Bobbo]

I'll dump that. You want me to dump it real quick?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it's fine. It's just. I just wonder if there's anything else we could do on the side where members have different content than other people. But I don't know. But thank you guys for doing that. That's cool.

[Bobbo]

Rob's bank account.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, right. I look. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio video. This is the last segment of America, and then LA Vegas gets one more segment after that. What do we need to do in this segment?

[Bobbo]

We got four minutes.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what do you want to do?

[Bobbo]

I say the truth. Yeah, let's build up the truth. Not enough time.

[John Clay Wolf]

We don't have time for it to build up.

[Bobbo]

I say you do some. You just lost a listener. Because I think we have a couple. And then we have a Dear John letter, too.

[John Clay Wolf]

I love those oh yeah. Okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, dude, you just lost a listener first.

[Caller/Guest]

You just lost a listener.

[J.D. Ryan]

Not really mad at you, but this guy's mad at AI. I can't stand how much this AI BS is being shoved down our throats. If you squares had any critical thinking skills, you would be able to solve whatever problems Robo is wasting thousands of gallons of water to solve. He went pretty deep on this. What's next? Are you going to ask AI to wipe your behind for you? Have fun rotting your brains and that. And that's pathetic. Stop. Doug the Rug Ruckter, the Oklahoma trucker.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's squares straight out of Oklahoma, called a square.

[Michael Turley]

I'm screwed up in all kinds of ways, but I'm not a square.

[J.D. Ryan]

We have Dear John. Oh yeah, this is a fun one. Actually. This is Stephen. Stephanie Miller. Actually she's. I've got a car, John, and a story to give you. I'm a nudist here in Florida.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go.

[J.D. Ryan]

I truly want to deal with you guys at. Give me the VIN. A 2016 Toyota Avalon with only 40,000 miles maintained and garaged. John, there's money here to be made. And this is just two too much car for me. It's a Avalon. Anyway, I promise I'm great entertainment. You should call me up. And my nudist and apparent normal investigator. Oh, Stephanie in Florida.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're going to start with the nude pictures. Send those and then we'll go from there. Qualify. Caleb in Kansas City, you've got a 70 Torino, two door base 302. Paint is okay. Needs a headliner. Wants 14, 5. So it's not a 429 Cobra Jet 4 speed which is a whole different animal. And it's not a 3514 speed, which is a whole different animal. It's a regular rig and it needs paint. Because you wouldn't say paint is okay if it didn't need paint. I mean to be like, to be like the high level, it's gonna have to paint jobless. 10 grand, dude, I'm. It needs a headliner and that's fine. The headliner is no big deal. If that's, if that's it. But I mean it's probably a ten grand or five, seven grand rig. Normally, whenever we take what people want for it and cut that number in half, that's typically the right number. So go to givemetheven.com and load it up. Let me take a look. And I need to see the paint. If I've got a painted, it's five because paint's expensive.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

[J.D. Ryan]

We found out this week, of course, that trying to run over police officer is not a good idea anywhere. But this guy stole a bulldozer in Nevada, tried to run over some cops, and he found out the hard way. Again, not a good idea. Here's some 911 calls from the incident along with the officer's body cam recording. By the way, everybody lived through this, so got number 15.

[Caller/Guest]

Mike, I have a guy trying to feel like bulldozer. Hey, Stop.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he just.

[Caller/Guest]

Yep. He just destroyed a police car.

[Michael Turley]

He rolled over the police car deal. I saw that on about 10 days ago on the news on national feed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, well, you know, bulldozer rolling. Rolling over the top of a police car. Anyway, no officers were hurt. This guy got a couple of bullets, but he's fine.

[John Clay Wolf]

He just got a couple.

[Michael Turley]

He feels a lot better. Yeah, he's decided to focus.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, very nice, Bob.
