Turley
Is the.
Caller/Guest
Oh, there it is, there it is. There it is. But, honey, I didn't see it. Why you want to put it together? Instructions make no sense. I will buy another one. I'll buy five and smash four if I want to. Don't tell me what to do. I'll go to your mother's. I don't give a. Jesus Christ. Yeah. What story are you going to tell? This one, right? Not the part about how you pay all the bills, right?

John Clay Wolf
That dude is so funny. I love him. Morning, everybody. Can y' all hear me? Okay, I'm in Phoenix. I'm in Phoenix, the whole bar. Does anybody fight with a wife like that?
Bob
Honey, not anymore.
John Clay Wolf
Do you miss fighting with her? Bob, you said the other day you were lonely.
Bob
I do not. I do not. I was like. Who was I talking to, though? I. Eddie, our. One of our old account mechanic guys. Paint body guy, I bet. Are you married?
John Clay Wolf
You and him? Could I see you and him understanding one another?
Bob
And I said, no, I'm not married, but, you know, I'd really like to be. And he goes, well, what's the deal?
John Clay Wolf
I said, I don't know.
Bob
Somewhere between 35 and 50, I stopped putting up with BS and it's. That's what happens. They say you live by yourself too long and you make you. It makes you harder and harder to, you know, to connect with anybody.
John Clay Wolf
Did you see. Did you get the clip I sent you this morning?
Bob
I did, I did. We've.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, this is obviously segwaying right into that is it already ready.
Bob
Give us. Give us another segment to get it ready. I've got. We got another piece or two. And yeah, JD And I have coordinated on that. It's a. It's a fascinating. It's a very engaging story. And I want to know more. JD has actually got background on it, so y' all stay tuned for a little true crime.
John Clay Wolf
Turley, did we buy that GT, Ford GT with 100 miles on it for 500,000?
Turley
No, he wants. He wants 6. 600. I think that's right. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
When they don't. When the red and white. I mean, we'll give more than five, but not a whole hell of a lot more. When they're red with white stripes, they just don't bring as much as silvers. And those cars are real finical. Finicky. And 06 is bring more than 05s. We're talking about the GT40 Ford, that Ford versus Ferrari car that they redid in 04, 05 and 06. But, man, I'll tell you, I kind of got my ass kicked yesterday.
Turley
So is a Barrett Jackson auction boomer.
John Clay Wolf
Bust for you this time?
Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Or overall?
Turley
Overall, so far?
John Clay Wolf
Well, it's bust. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, have you ever had a bleeding hemorrhoid? No.
Turley
Doesn't sound fun, though.
John Clay Wolf
No. So this is. I'll be here for four days, and I hope that I can get the hemorrhoid to stop bleeding before Sunday. It was bleeding yesterday, and. No, no, it was bleeding Thursday. And then Friday it started really bleeding and it flared up and we had to run to the ER and then.
Bob
I've got to say, that's quite a visual that that comes up with that.
John Clay Wolf
And then yesterday. Yeah, yesterday was bad. And then today I don't really have any cars there today, but tomorrow I have about three more. So hopefully we'll get it search sutured and it'll stop bleeding and we can recover a little bit.
Turley
Do you want to share with everybody what happened with the cars or.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I bought. I brought five cars, and I've lost 50 grand. And I've sold not brought sex cars, and I've lost 50 grand. I've sold four. Yep. The chip Foo Chevelle actually only lost. And you gotta understand when you're selling these auctions, right, if you give 150. Let's use round numbers. You give a hundred thousand dollars for a car. Right? Caller calls in right now. Give him 100 grand. Sold. Okay, so we picked the car up, we transport it. We. I'm gonna Gamble on it at bear Jackson. So I sent it to Barrett Jackson. They charged $1,500 for a reserve number. And then they're going to charge you a 8% or 10% seller fee. So get a $10,000 selfie on that hundred. So when the guy bought it from is watching it on TV and he sees you got a hundred, right? Oh, yeah, he loves it. He's like, ah, that's cool, man. You got out. No, I didn't get out. I didn't get out of. I think nothing. I lost ten grand plus a grand in shipping, plus a fifteen hundred dollar selfie. It's not a grand in shipping anyway. You've got to jump them by 10% just to get out. So, like the foosh chevelle we gave 150 grand for and. No, no, no. We gave 140 grand for it and it brought 150. And if chip hadn't got up on the block and repped that car, it.
Turley
Would have sold for 125, I think probably.
John Clay Wolf
25. Yeah. You could feel it. Were you watching it?
Turley
Yeah, it was. It was nerve wracking, I can tell you that for sure. But once he got up there and he. I thought it was awesome. First of all, for him, he didn't have to do that. No, it's not his car. I mean, it was at one point. Yeah, that was just totally cool for him to go up there, talk about the build, and maybe shared a little too much information by saying, well, it was once mine, then I sold it, and then it sold again. But, you know, then he's just being honest.
John Clay Wolf
That's all it is.
Turley
And then it just started, it stopped. And then he got back on the mic again. He's like, look, guys, you know how much it costs to build this vehicle, right? I mean, I. That was amazing that he did something like that. And then it got to just right at the one point of 150 and that was it. But, I mean, I was surprised it only did that, to be honest. I was thinking, man, surely he's up there. Somebody's gonna be a big fan and want that build. And the amount of money that he put into. What did you say? At least $200,000 in parts and stuff?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Turley
In labor, I mean.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, no, not labor.
Turley
Just parts.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah, not labor. Yeah. It's weird. And then I had a 1963 split window Corvette that I put wheels on and it had a LS restomod. I mean, it's a nice rig. I don't want to geek everybody out and bore them, but we laid 125,000 for this truck, for this car. Spent 10,000 on wheels. We sold it for 125,000. Same car later on, sold for 235,000. And it was. And when I say same car, I mean same car. And the guy that bought my car for 135,000 walked over to me, said, what's wrong with it? I said, I don't know. Nothing. He said, why is it so cheap? He said, you know, like shells, like. Like rollers. Cars that they're going to rebuild in a 63 Vette split window or 75 grand. He said, how the hell was this 75. I mean, 125 grand. So, no. So that car lost, what, 30 after the wheels and the selfie or something like that.
Turley
And when it was on the block, I was watching it in. In the chat room. It was going crazy about all these wheels are terrible. They're terrible. You don't do that to this car.
John Clay Wolf
They're terrible.
Turley
So I got in there and started a little war back and forth in the chat room about.
John Clay Wolf
It's like.
Turley
Because all these folks in the chat rooms and by the way, we love our guys in the chat room.
Bob
John Clay Wolf show.
Turley
They're not as petty as these folks on Barrett Jackson's chat room. I mean, they hate everything about every car.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, there's bitches.
Turley
Oh, total bitches the whole time.
John Clay Wolf
Like tales from the nursing home.
Turley
Oh, yeah. I think it's just because they're jealous. Right? I mean, that's what I. That's what I told them there. They got back on me about it.
Bob
I was.
Turley
I was trying to get kicked out of the chat room, but I did.
Bob
A mode of review, if, you know those. Those downer Debbies, man.
Turley
Yeah.
Bob
You know, as we're going to. We're going to denigrate the product because we don't want you to buy it. We don't want you to want to buy it.
John Clay Wolf
Right. Well, they didn't. And I got my ass kicked on that one and that 58. Same thing. Resto mod Chevy brought, it lost. Well, let's do the math on that. You gave 125. 125,000 plus 10,000 in wheels. So it's 135,000 plus, I don't know what you call $15,000 in shipping, right, from LA to Scottsdale, 136. And it sold for. Did it sell for 120? No, that one sold for 130. So 130 is what the 58 sold for. And 10%. Was it 10% or 8% selfie? Let's say it's 10. So $13,000 selfie. So take one. Yeah. 136 minus 13.
Bob
We need Jeopardy music.
John Clay Wolf
136 minus 13. So I got 123, minus 10 for the. Yeah. Car. Lost some money.
Bob
Carry the seven.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Oh, and then. And then I bought a demon. A 1971 demon. With a demon, like a new. This is probably a three. No, it's a $300,000 build. I bought that car for 70,000.
Turley
That's cheap.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, dude. And it's a 1971 demon pro touring resto mod with a demon engine. And it was on the COVID of mopar magazine. It's called dynamic. I bought it for 70,000 with the BI fee. And I bought another friend of mine's car that I wanted to buy from him in California. I lusso. Donnie and I Lusso in LA. He wanted 150 grand for his personal car that he built, and I bought it for 100. So the deal with Barrett Jackson is it's a gambling. You go in there, it's a casino, right? So you go in there, and we're gonna beat the casino. And then you come out and you're happy because you're up, or you come out and you're sad because you're down because it's an absolute sale. That's the part I should have gotten to a moment ago. It's absolute. There's no. There's no reserve. You can't say no. And if they catch you bidding on your own car, they'll kick you out. I mean, when I was. When that split window vet was sitting there and I was in the middle of the stage, to me, I was like, I've got to bid on this car. I want to buy it back. I want to buy it back. I don't want to sell it for this. I'll buy it back plus the 10%. And I could have done that. If you set up with somebody else and say, hey, buy this car at this number, and after we leave here, then I'll buy back from you. Duh. But I was so certain that the car was gonna do great, I didn't even think about doing that. So in the middle of the moment, I had no deal with anybody. And I just sat there, and I could. I just had to sit there and watch my baby die in the middle of the road.
Turley
Yeah, you could see you. You're next to Hoovy. And it just. The disgust on your face is like, oh, I felt so bad for you, man. I was like, God, this sucks.
John Clay Wolf
And our buyer, Jason Love, you know, he spotted the cars, and I know he was pissed when I just paid him a flat. I played him. I paid him a flat buy fee. A healthy one, by the way.
Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
For the two cars. And he really was. He didn't complain, but I knew that he thought I was doing him wrong.
Turley
I talked to him about it. And before or after while, when you made the offer to him, I was like, look, man, just. Just take it. It's you. Your spotting is good. You got a good number there. But John has a. Has a reason why just.
John Clay Wolf
Well, the reason why is because if it goes the way it went last night, he doesn't have the money to write the check for half the loss. And I don't like to be. I don't like to be Guido, the killer pimp.
Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
So if I'm doing a deal with a guy, that's 50, 50, and we're splitting a 30 grand winner, right? 15. 15. Then everybody's happy. But if it goes the other way, then this guy's got to write a check for his half of the 30, and you know, he can't do it. So I don't like doing that, and that's why I've gotten better. But, hey, if you can't cover, then I'm just gonna pay a fee and I offer it to them nicely so that they just say yes. And if they don't, then I'm like, explain it. But I'm. Then if they really don't like, great. You know, this thing could lose this much. You need to bring over 15 grand or 10,000 or 20,000 and lay it up in the account so if it does go sideways, I don't have to ask for it. I already got it. Is that bad?
Turley
No, it's. You're trying to save him from just imploding. I mean, because he's got talent. He does. You see that? And you're like, I don't want him just to go away.
John Clay Wolf
No, but this could kill him.
Turley
Yep. You're saving his life. That's what I told.
John Clay Wolf
Well, he's the one that bought the Foose car. He found the Foose car. He found the two Chevelle. So these cars that I lost all this money on. He found them all. I approved the buys, so it's on me. Right. But when they sell short and he loses a bunch of money, Coming off a bad market, you know, I don't want to. I don't want to anyway. Can JD hear me?
Turley
No, we're trying to move.
John Clay Wolf
He needs to move, sis. He needs to change. Jd, do you want to sit in my spot? You want to sit in the big chair?
Turley
Jd, John's talking to you.
Caller/Guest
I can't hear him. I can't hear you.
Turley
Yeah, that's. And I don't know, during the break.
John Clay Wolf
JD needs to just change mics or headsets or whatever. There's.
Turley
Well, the reason he can't hear you is because he's at home. Because the weather.
John Clay Wolf
He couldn't.
Turley
He didn't want to stay the night with us here at the ranch.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Turley
So he's like.
Caller/Guest
He's at home ice and sleet outside here right now.
John Clay Wolf
So.
Turley
Yeah, half an inch.
John Clay Wolf
An inch. Half an inch.
Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, God. Good morning, Pittsburgh, where men are men. And a half inch is the size of JD's wiener, not how much snow.
Turley
Oh, no, don't say that about JD's wiener.
John Clay Wolf
Well, JD can't hear talking.
Bob
He's talking now.
John Clay Wolf
I can't hear, but JD can't hear us talking so we can talk about his wiener.
Turley
No, he can hear me and Baba.
John Clay Wolf
But he can't hear you repeating what I'm saying. Quit throwing me into the bus. Half an inch of snow. So it was supposed to be 15 inches. Armageddon. We're all going to die and be Russian vodka drinkers for a month in Texas. And you got a. You got a half an inch of snow on the ground.
Bob
That's. It's all, it's all ice and freezing rain here. There's a, There's a Mason Dixon somewhere around Fort Worth, Dallas Metroplex. North of that, I think it's all snow. And so it's. It's just crazy, John. You know, it comes around. Some people really. Some people really panic when this weather comes up.
Turley
Do they?
Bob
Yeah.
Turley
All freaking week long.
Bob
Yeah.
Turley
What are we gonna do? What's the weather?
Bob
What are we gonna do?
Turley
What are we doing? I don't know. Just look outside and if it's bad, then don't drive your car.
Bob
It's a four day anomaly.
Turley
Use some freaking common sense, tops.
Bob
How much toilet paper do you need for a four day anomaly?
Turley
I, I just.
John Clay Wolf
I.
Turley
All week, John. All week.
John Clay Wolf
All the people. Yeah, it's stupid.
Turley

John Clay Wolf
You say on the radio anymore?
Turley
No, I wouldn't.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, we just dumped that.
Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Well, I think it is stupid.
Bob
Stupid is sufficient. I think people just, you know, they're. They just. They're not used to it in this part of the world.
Turley
I get that. But don't come at me asking like I'm.
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Bob
Who came at you?
Turley
Oh, everybody. Nobody's coming at you.

The John Clay Wolf Show.
Caller/Guest
Okay, so I get why poor people are fat. But Oprah, you're a billionaire. You have enough money to pay a man to stand there and literally slap out of your hand before you put it in your mouth. You could hire a full time food slapper.
Announcer
And now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemetheven.com check out the GMTV Garage YouTube channel, complete with live video stream@jcwshow.com.
John Clay Wolf
You'Re fat. Good morning, everybody. It is Isa Magedon. Allegedly. And I'm not seeing it and I'm not hearing about it. And I think it's joke and it's not gonna happen.
Turley
It is happening, but I mean, folks are panicking.
John Clay Wolf
But didn't they clean out the. In Texas, they cleaned out the grocery stores like four days ago.
Turley
Yes.
Bob
Yeah. The last few days. Now here where we are, and this is, this is an indication of how tough people are in this location in Bosque county where we are, they have not cleaned out anything. The dollar. The dollar store looks just as fresh and ready as it was two weeks ago. So, you know, they behave a little differently here, but I don't think they mind staying at home for a couple of days.
John Clay Wolf
Right.
Bob
But in town, I just got a.
John Clay Wolf
Text from Ryan Kavanaugh, the operations guy for Bosque Cantina.
Bob
Oh.
John Clay Wolf
And he said, do you think it's worth opening the cantina today? And I wrote back, yes, because I'm a hard ass and I think that we need to go to work and anybody that drives in from a distance needs to bring an overnight bag and they can stay in the saloon that works for us at the cantina. And the cantina is going to be open. I mean, what's a snowstorm without good Mexican food in margaritas?
Bob
You are right.
John Clay Wolf
Right. In a small town.
Turley
In this small town, people can walk to it, right? Take their atv.
John Clay Wolf
Well, they can walk to it, but Mike, where the hell are they gonna walk from? There's no hotel, there's no houses there. Have you ever seen a Quentin Tarantino movie in the middle of the desert? Have you ever been to Marfa, Texas?
Turley
You can't be a long walk.
John Clay Wolf
Have you ever seen Prada? Marfa is a Prada Marfa. Anyway, imagine a highway with a little tiny stop in it in the middle of the desert, in the middle of West Texas, middle of the prairie. That's Walnut Springs and Bosque Cantina and Walnut Springs Roadhouse right there. That's what makes it so unique. But it's not there's. Not a lot of walk up traffic.
Bob
I wanna leave my baby behind and get back to Prada. Marfa.
John Clay Wolf
She used to be a maid. I sound like Jerry Springer. She used to be a maid. Her mom was a maid as well and had 12 babies. Said she's read a lot of books on sex. Good morning, Barbie in Washington D.C. hey, good morning, guys.
Caller/Guest
It's Barbie, the D.C. polish American cleaning lady. And guess what? I was on a long wait before I tell you what I want to tell you. And I had to have a bowel movement, right? And I'm at my standing computer and I go, I got to go to the bathroom. I am now sitting on the toilet talking to you. And I can't get up because I've got my notes on my lap. So please forgive me.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, Barbie, Barbie, Barbie, Barbie, Barbie. You just grossed me out. You just grossed me out. I'm gonna put you on hold. I'm gonna hang up. You call me back when you're not doing what you're doing and you got all your stuff straight, you got your makeup on. You're looking like something. All right. Boy.
Turley
That was too much information. Didn't need to know that she was.
Bob
Coming at you, Charlie.
John Clay Wolf
That's coming at you, Corey in Indiana. 70 Roadrunner. V Code. Six pack, rebuilt, three speed. Is it a pistol grip?
Caller/Guest
No, no, it's automatic. It's. It's on the column.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. Page 67 has a lot and it wants over. 67. No, the answer is no. I'm not. I'm not doing this stuff anymore. I'm not gonna make people's dreams come true and give them all their money back all the time. And just because I'm so. I can lose 20 grand, I'm not gonna do it.
Turley
Okay?
John Clay Wolf
I mean, why, why do you think, what do you think that car's worth? What do you think it brings? I'm a dealer. I'm a wholesale dealer. I've got to move it again. I've got to buy it from you for. Okay, so I give it. I give you 70 grand and then I've got to sell it for 73 grand to make it worth going up to Maryland and taking all the risk on a 70 road runner, right? I got a wholesale for 73 grand to somebody to make 1500, two grand, and then, and then they're gonna sell it. So are you leaving me something to eat?
Caller/Guest
I'm open. So it's. It's nice. I mean, it's real nice. I'm not, I'm not. I'M not looking at it. The rose colored glasses. I mean, my dad bought it for 67. It needed some work. Not a lot, but he. He sent it in to get some work done, and we ended up totally rebuilding it. My dad died before he really got to drive it.
John Clay Wolf
What year did he buy it?
Caller/Guest
That's why he just. He bought it end of 24, November 24th. He trailered it back where and it up in Indiana.
John Clay Wolf
He bought.
Caller/Guest
He bought it from Fort Wayne, but he.
John Clay Wolf
But he bought it at the Hershey deal.
Caller/Guest
No, no. He bought it from a private seller. The guy for a private seller previously bought it from Barrett Jackson.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, and what did it bring there? Because you can look that up. You can just dump the vin number in Barrett. It'll pull up previous sale.
Caller/Guest
I didn't see it. I looked. I didn't see it. Maybe the guy was feeding my dad a line.
John Clay Wolf
No, he probably wasn't, but. But okay, so I actually, that helps me. And the reason I was being such a jerk earlier Is because I lost my ass at Barrett Jackson yesterday. So I'm a little perturbed, which I hope you would understand, but. Yeah, but. But I've just got Guys need to get real. And I'm not saying you're not real in this one. I need to learn a little more. It says it's a V code I need. Does it have a broadcast sheet if you bought it at Barrett? It probably doesn't. Does it have. Do the numbers match or do we know? I know it's got a. It's got a 446 pack, which.
Caller/Guest
It's got the. It's got the proper engine, but it's not the original engine. It's been rebuilt. We. I just said. I just had it rebuilt. I put a lot into it getting a rebuilt. It's got. It's got a big high list cam. It's got headers, new head.
John Clay Wolf
I've got three. I've got three. I've got three clones, which this isn't a clone, but it's clone. I mean, I've got a lemon twist Cuda with a 446 pack and a pistol grip 5 speed, which is badass. I'm selling all these at our classic and collector sale next Wednesday in Manheim, Dallas. And those cars are going to bring 40 grand, right? And I've got a Belvedere 426 Hemi. Got a 68 Charger RT with a factory 426 Hemi. And all the numbers, all the price. I've Got real cars, and they're all cheaper than what you're talking about. Okay? So you need a little. You need a little market check. But once you get that, then we can get together. I think any seller that's. It's not that you're greedy. Yeah, it's not that you're greedy. You just don't want to get screwed. So we got to figure out what the real money is first so that you can be like, okay, now he's not screaming. He's giving it. Right. I'm just, you know. Yeah, these cars were worth more before.
Caller/Guest
And I'm trying to. I'm trying to just get basically around what dad put in. Got out of it. I'm not trying to get my money.
John Clay Wolf
Back out of it.
Caller/Guest
I know that's unrealistic. I'm just trying to get. I'm trying to. It's me and my sister selling it. We had this. We had his truck, we got his house. We're selling. So we're trying. We're just trying to recoup some of the money. And if. If that's. His truck's gone, his truck's already sold to a friend of his. But that was.
John Clay Wolf
Leave the hard one for me. He probably left $5,000 on the table with the friend in the truck. Right. But he called me and wanted to bust my ass over a 1970 road runner. I'll get there. We'll figure it out. But I need the VIN number, and then I'm gonna go do the backgrounding on it, and we'll get to working on this. And I do appreciate the phone.
Caller/Guest
Okay, thanks. All right. Thanks a lot, man.

John Clay Wolf
Listen to this interview of this good old boy sitting in a police station telling a similar situation. He's in overalls. He looks like he weighs about 300 pounds. And the sad thing is, is the more you listen to him, the more you kind of understand and like him. Go ahead.
Bob
It's crazy. We don't. We're not going to share details first, John, but this happened in Baton Rouge. Liaison. And this we're just. Just a little tidbit. You will find this engaging. You will wonder what the hell happened. It's got 16.
Jesse High
I walked in and they're all sitting there in the kitchen.
John Clay Wolf
And this is downstairs.
Jesse High
Downstairs. I walked in and I said, ron and Linda, you need to leave. And my wife said, they're not going anywhere. I'm half Owner of this place, they stay here as long as they want to. So I went outside, I got my gun, I walked back in, I shot them all in the head. Then I shot them all in the head again to make sure they were down.
Turley
Okay. God.
Bob
Right, that's confession. Anyone?
John Clay Wolf
That's pretty, pretty clear. Pretty clear.
Bob
And I don't, I don't know exactly where this, where this came in, but after you hear this cut, you'll, you'll, you'll know a lot more about what precisely went on.
John Clay Wolf
So where was Ron at when you shot?
Jesse High
Sitting in my chair, at the table.
John Clay Wolf
Sitting in your chair.
Jesse High
And you know, I told them they needed to leave.
John Clay Wolf
So his father in law was sitting in his chair. Not a chair, but his chair. And he killed him for sitting in his chair. Go ahead.
Jesse High
You know, they, they didn't make a move to get up. They looked at her and decided they were staying.
John Clay Wolf
They just ignored you.
Jesse High
And that's when I decided. All right then, because, you know, I warned her earlier in the week. I told her I was very unhappy about this. And I said, you know, if I, you're gonna make me go off, and if you do, this is on you.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Jesse High
And this is what she got for it. She made me go off. And now there's three dead people. I didn't start off with a handgun. That's where it ended up.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. How long was it till you called 911 in between the time that you shot them and called 91 1?
Jesse High
Couldn't have been more than a few minutes.
John Clay Wolf
Just a few minutes.
Jesse High
And I seen my dad coming down there and I told him, do not go down there. Get your ass back up in the house.
John Clay Wolf
Did you tell him what had happened?
Jesse High
I told him I just shot him.
John Clay Wolf
How do you react to that?
Jesse High
He was heartbroken, of course.
Turley
Yeah.
Bob
Wife, Tanya F. High. Her two parents, Ronald Kohler and Linda Kohler of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Jesse High, 50 years old, of Stafford, Missouri, called 911 around 6:30pm on Saturday. Now, a total absence of methodology. Right. He's a calm guy and he's just explaining precisely what happened. See if you hear any, any, any motivation or methodology in this last cut. Number three.
John Clay Wolf
Who is the first one of the three that you shot?
Caller/Guest
Ron.
John Clay Wolf
You shot Ron. He was in your chair. Did he see you coming or.
Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
What did.
Caller/Guest
He started first.
Jesse High
He looked at her and he started turning his head to me. And by then I got him. And Linda was all surprised that I just shot Ron and I shot her in the head.
John Clay Wolf
Did either one and then I turned.
Jesse High
And I shot her in the head.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Turley
You know, I warned him, God, don't sit in the man's chair.
John Clay Wolf
He was mad. Yeah, he was really upset about something.
Bob
I think he's been mad for a long time.
Turley
And that's just snapped. Completely snapped.
John Clay Wolf
It doesn't sound like he snapped. Well, he sounds like it was premeditated.
Bob
What are you doing? That damn lawnmower blade, Carl. I'm the kill you with it all.
Turley
That is very.
Bob
That much, very similar to me, I think.
John Clay Wolf
There's no way. I mean, it wasn't full on premeditated, but it was kind of premeditated. Yes. He'd walked through. He had walked through this scenario in his mind.
Bob
Oh, he's been thinking about it.
Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, Steve Philly, Rico Wolfpack president.
Caller/Guest
Good morning, John. Good morning. Happy New Year, buddy.

Yeah. So he and Laura. How do I say that? Anyway, he's having a rally in May. We're gonna have a rally in October, November, with the big one with all the big sponsors. The sponsors wouldn't be a part of it if he was involved. So we told him to get demoted. We. The board told Brandon, hey, man, love you, but you're gonna run the Viper pit. You can't be on the. If you're in charge of it, they're not gonna do it. And he did not take kindly to that demotion. And it's turned into one of those. We're just gonna. I'm just gonna do my own. I'm like, that's cool. I'm not. I'm not mad at Brandon. I hope his rally goes well. But it's not mine.
Turley
So come down in October.
Caller/Guest

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio mike. How much time do we have?
Turley
It's time to get billed for the lightning round.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. What is the lightning round?
Turley
Well, that's where you call in and sell your car to John Clay Wolf.
John Clay Wolf
8008-0072-3480-0800-7234. 800800 radio year, make, model, miles, average, rough or clean. The Lightning round sponsored by America's best car buyer. Give me the vin.com youm call in, I'll put a number on your car. Then you go to give me the VIN and sell it to him and get a check. Just like the fellow with a Diablo Lamborghini did yesterday, an orange one out of Tempe, Arizona, and went to Give me the vin.com. we beat his Lamborghini stored bid by 30,000 and got him paid. And I know I'm using an extreme as a Lamborghini to kind of wake everybody up. But Kia's, Hyundai's, Toyotas, Hondas, Chevys, all the stuff, we buy them all. At givemethevin.com we buy about 800 cars a week. But the ones you know, everybody wants to hear about are the sexy ones, right? The Lamborghinis and the classic, the muscles and this. But the reality is that's a tiny part of our business because the blood of it is what you see on the highway. Because we compete with CarMax. We compete with car van. If we can't beat a Carmax or a Carvana deal and you sell it to them, they'll send you a check for $100 for the opportunity. But if you call them right now, I'll give you a bid on the air. 800. You just call it 8008-0072-3480-0800 radios. How you remember the number? Be right back. Whenever you want me to.
Announcer

You're just curious why you drive a whopped out pile of crap. I can't. I don't know. I mean.
Bob
Oh.
Caller/Guest
I don't have a car note.
John Clay Wolf
I don't know. Hey, hey, hey.
Turley
All right. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Then you ain't putting the beer money on credit cards. You can pay for it. I'm on your side. Don't. All right. Edward and Jupiter, I know you've been on hold for a minute. Let me get to you in a minute. Where was the guy with the lightning truck? He had a O2 Lightning truck with 123,000 miles on it. I wanted to buy it. Go to givemetheven.com whoever that was. They hung up. 71 2, Iowa.
Caller/Guest
Go59 El Camino.
John Clay Wolf
It just. There's just so much variable, man. I mean there's just a gazillion different angles there. Do this one, go to a GMTV garage and. And fire that one straight to me. And I'm gonna send it to one of my classic buyers because it'll take me five minutes to break this down to figure out what you really got. But thank you for calling. Dan in Nashville, Tennessee. A69 Peter. I don't know. I don't know. Daniel.
Bob
69.
John Clay Wolf
One69 Peter built cab over. Wondering if he should restore something like this. Is there any money? No. First answer, absolutely not. Are you gonna lose? Absolutely. Unless you do it all yourself and you steal the paint from the paint store.
Caller/Guest
But if you love it, I already stripped the paint on it.
John Clay Wolf
And you watch too much BJ and the Bear, that's. I would recreate it as a BJ and the bear truck.
Caller/Guest
What's it worth? Like 40 grand? If it's on the road, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, it's a cab. Over. Pete. 69, is it the same rig that was in BJ and the bear? The same kind of body?
Caller/Guest
I'm not really familiar, but.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, well, look that up. Like when you're getting into stuff like that and you mirror it back to a movie car or a show car or something. Evel Knievels deal. I saw a snap on 50. 50 snap on tool truck yesterday. This perfectly maintained, has shelves and snap on tools in it from the era. Right? So it's like a rolling Museum. But say it's a 1950s. The snap on man toolster sold for $150,000. They sold one at Kissimmee and Mecham two weeks ago for $150,000. And this truck had sold before 48 six years ago for one hundred and fifty thousand. My point is, is it's got a theme, right? And if you're just gonna. If you're gonna rebuild a 69 Peterbilt cabover, think about a theme that it can go along with smoking the Bandit. Right? Yeah. And you got the whole scene on the side with the, with the cowboy scenery on the back of the bit on the side of the trailer. For somebody to want to buy it, it's got to go along with something. I hope that helps. 800, 817. That's pretty damn good advice. It was. Yeah. Let's go to break. All right. We'll be right back. My name is John Claywolf. Hang tight. GiveMeTheBen.com is the sponsor of the Lightning Round and I am glad to be here.

So I sent his daughter an email Friday and said, y' all won't answer me about this car that you sold to me, and here's what you owe me for the trip. And of course, hadn't heard back from that yet either. I hope that it's just a miscommunication, but I can tell you I've texted Don three times and called him twice about buying the stupid ass car that I don't even care about, to tell you the truth.
Caller/Guest
And he's pretty fond of his collection, ain't he?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's fine. It's not that. It's. When you say you're gonna do something, you do it. And when you get on the video and you talk about how about righteousness and honor, ness and all that, do you remember that whole video how he was.

Hi.
Caller/Guest
Oh, question, question I have for you, and I'll make it real quick. My daddy was a Chevy dealer in Long island for 58 years, and he was the first Mannheim officer. I believe it was 1946 when they had. Anyhow, make a long story short.
John Clay Wolf
I started. I just put him on hold. Let him talk through it. I don't care, and I can't hear him, so I'm not gonna listen to it. I think he wants to talk. You can pick him up on three and talk to him for a little bit. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. What? Nice guy. He needs a better phone connection. And what's next? What time? How much time we got?
Turley
We got to go to break here next. We can do some Florida news or hear some more stories from Barrett Boomer Bus for you. Everybody wants to know that. Hasn't heard, right?
John Clay Wolf

Turley
Yeah, we've got pictures of this crazy buy of his, too. We can show you next.

No, his sister, she's like, hey, your boy is up on the stage. Not my brother, but your boys up on the stage. And I can tell he's drunk and he's almost bought 10 cars, and you need to get his ass out of there.

John Clay Wolf
Live from Scottsdale, Arizona. McCarrett Jackson this weekend with. We're on a guys trip. Dennis Collins, Richard Rollins, Dan hall from restore, Muscle Car, the Trans Am, and Nebraska, and myself. And we've got a guy that's like a certified driver, you know, like, he's full. He. Richard rented him for the weekend, so he'll move us anywhere. And what's funny is, you know, Richard's like 56, and Dennis is, I think, 60. Maybe not quite, but all these stories about all the stuff they did, and I was like, guys, I've just heard about all this crazy living and all these stories. I ain't seeing none of It. Except drinking. They can still do that, but. But they're not doing the new.
Turley
There's no. News stories are saying.
John Clay Wolf
Not really. But see, Richard went through a. What do you call it? Hedonism. Richard was a hedonist.
Turley
Yeah. He's grown up.
John Clay Wolf
Do what?
Turley
He's grown up is what you're saying.
John Clay Wolf
No, he's married and his wife's rich and he knows that he. And he loves his wife. And so he's just, you know, so all these hedonistic stories of, you know, strippers. The stories are much like the dirt from Motley Crue movie. Very, very similar.
Turley
But doesn't that always happen when you get married? I mean, that's. That's the. The wife grounds you.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, we all can ask him what he wants. I know we can hear him now, but I need to know what he wants and what the message is, please. And like, like screen him out a little bit. Oh, yeah, I did.
DJ Pre K
He wants. He said he's asking if you just talk about the losses, man. He wants to hear about the wins. He's a big.
John Clay Wolf
Tell him to go to John Clay Wolf on YouTube and watch the I was betrayed video. We made $500,000 on one rig. If that ain't a win, I don't know. It is. I split it with Richard, but it was the biggest win of my career by a long shot. Thank you. Yeah, but. But it's. I mean, they were all in bed by. So we get up yesterday morning, right?
Caller/Guest
Where?
John Clay Wolf
Okay, what's today? Saturday. I'm on the radio. All right. Yesterday morning, 9 o', clock, 8 o'. Clock. I get up and do the conference call with the company guys Thursday. And then I meet them. They're drinking Bloody Mary's. Richard's drinking Bloody Mary's beer. Come on, John. Come on, John. Come on. I'm like, I'm not doing that. I'm going to work. I'm going to the auction today to work. I've got four cars selling out here and I can't do that. I can't start in the morning. And anyway, they were done by 6:30. Their eyes were crossed and we got to go home. Are you ready to go? I'm like, dude, I'm not ready to go home. I got two more cars coming and I'm working. So they're all in bed by eight, is my point. The hard partying dudes.
Turley
Yeah. Because they started early.
John Clay Wolf
True.
Bob
Right.
John Clay Wolf
I don't like starting that early. It never really ends up real well.
Turley
It's like a Vacation, basically. That's what you do on vacation. You start early.
John Clay Wolf
No, I think back in these days when I'm hearing these stories, there might have been some Pablo Escobar involved. And so they. They had. They could keep trucking.
Turley
I mean, Red Bull do that give you wings, too. So, you know.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. So that. That. I'm guessing. Do you remember the guy that called in earlier in the show and he was kind of nice, but I was pretty clear with him. I'm not giving you $67,000 for your 1970 Roadrunner. That's not finished. Mm. So our buyer called him and talk to him about it off the air. And his message was verbatim. He told me to suck him sideways and don't forget the lube. Wow.
Turley
I can't. I had to dump that.
John Clay Wolf
Really?
Bob
Really? That was so strategically placed, though.
DJ Pre K
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Well, the people on the stream got to hear it. And we've got a thousand people watching live on YouTube right now. If you want to. If you want to hear the uncut versions, you go to JCW show. We have a live audio feed and video feed on the stream@jcwshow.com. he told him to. To just. What happened to say it?
Bob
I don't. I don't even know another way to say that.
Turley
No, it just sounded so vulgar.
John Clay Wolf
It was very vulgar. But was it titillating? Because titillating is the FCC issue. What does that mean? I mean, it could have been titillating for a homosexual.
Bob
Instigate a suctional force at a perpendicular.
John Clay Wolf
Angle. Yeah, he didn't like our offers. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. So anyway, Richard Rollins yesterday, when we sold that Chip Foose car on the block, the 1970 Chevelle. And Foose was so nice to get up on the block and talk it up and help us get out of it is what he really did. And it's really that kind of car. I was super disappointed with all my results yesterday. I thought yesterday, because I never do this is Barrett Jackson thing. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna buy Barrett Jackson cars. The kind of cars that run away. And I'm gonna finally do this right. And I thought I did it and I lost. I bought a 1970 chip Foose built Chevelle Just Perfect. We gave 140,000 for it. We sold it for 150. But we had Chip Foose on the stage representing it. Without Chip Foose on the stage, it probably would have brought 1:25.
Turley
And people got to remember there's fees. So that's why it didn't make money.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, yeah. There's 10% sale fee. You got to ship it. Yeah, right. And there's a placement fee. So it cost $15,000 just to sell it. So I got sold 150. So our check right there is 135. And then you got to back up another thousand for Transport and another 1500 for the slot that you bought. Yeah, it lost plenty and had a split window Corvette that I thought that we ripped because I've seen those Restomod Corvettes go goofy. And I got the right wheels and did it, all right, and that thing lost, like, 20,000. And then I did it again with a 58. Restomod Corvette did it, same thing. That car lost, like, 15,000. So is that about 30,000 losses or 40? I'm trying not to keep up with.
Turley
It in, what, an hour?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, it's pretty bad. That's.
Turley
That's not fun.
John Clay Wolf
No, it's not fun at all. And then there was a Porsche that we sold for the same for the normal money that we can get for him, but it was 220. 200 grand. So that cost 20,000 to sell it there. So that car lost 20,000. Yeah. Was not good. I mean, this is not a good experience. Am I. Am I real excited about. So I had another friend there that had 53 cars, and he's an absolute pro. He's got 22 of them today. He's got a lot of the Ferraris and heavy exotics. But yesterday when we left, he was down 150,000, about 13 cars.
Turley
Oh, my God.
John Clay Wolf
In the biggest loss he took. I bought because I knew the car, because I saw the car in California at the guy who had it, Donnie, at Iluso. And I was kind of mad that Donnie didn't call me whenever he went to sell it, because I was licking the paint off this thing six months ago in his warehouse. And I found out Perrin bought it. And then Perrin gave him 150 grand for it, and then it brought 104 last night, minus the fee, and I bought. And so when Perrin walked up to me, I said, how did it do? He said, it didn't do very well. I mean, at this point. So he was down 100 before that thing happened. And then he said he. He'd gotten to the point where he was just aching inside. Just forget it. Right. So it didn't do very well. I'm like, well, how did it do? He's like, I don't want to talk about it. So I handed him my slip and said, well, I think it brought 104. And he looked at it. He said, so you bought it? I said, yeah. And I said, and since I'm a friend, here you go. You can have it back if you. If it's sold too short, just buy it back from me.
Turley
That's nice of you.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Turley
Do you think you're gonna get that same type of treatment on your stuff?
John Clay Wolf
Here's what happened to my deal. So the guy that bought mine for 125, my split window, Corvette. Nice fella, by the way. Not his fault. He was sitting right next to me, and I didn't realize it because I was too busy. He said, what's wrong with that car? I said, nothing. He said, that car was too cheap. I said, I understand. He said, that was yours, right? I'm a kisser. And he had two people on top of him trying to buy his ticket after the auction. Oh, wow. And they're coming to me like, hey, what will you take for. Listen, Finally, I'm like, scott, he bought it. He owns it. I lost the money. Talk to him. There's nothing, nothing, nothing. Let me be. Let me sulk in my pain.
Turley
Yeah. Without this, you're just getting rubbed in there. That's what it is. Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
You're just rubbing it in. But I can also tell you that Scott bought a car from us at Manheim, and he was gonna show me how we always sell our cars too short. Because you always hear that, right? It would have brought this. It would have brought that. If you did this. It had done that. Scott used to work for us, actually, and we broke up. Not bad. But he's gonna keep doing his Barrett and Mecham hustle, and he buys a car from us at Mannheim, and he's gonna prove to me what he's been trying to tell me all the time.
Turley
Is he gonna do that with the Ford Lightning, with the flames?
John Clay Wolf
He did it with the Pontiac convertible. LT LSA swap that. We did the video on that says Z06 barn find. He bought that car at Mannheim from us. And he told me how this car is going to come through and how it's going to double its money and he's going to get away and stupid. And he lost 18,000.
Turley
Oh, damn.
John Clay Wolf
So that kind of made me happy.
Turley
You're talking about it. There's a.
John Clay Wolf
There. Literally.
Turley
You remember that lightning that I bought with the flames on it? That was terrible. You know, looking, I guess you'd say. But it actually broke out Even so.
John Clay Wolf
I'm going riding with them tomorrow morning in the Arizona mountains on motorcycle. Oh, Joey and Addison. That's who bought it.
Turley
It's running.
John Clay Wolf
Busted it. They busted out on that car.
Turley
I don't know. It's running probably. I think it's Sunday. It looks like it'd be curious to see what it does.
John Clay Wolf
But, you know, here's. Here's the truth of this. Since it's an absolute sale, it is literally betting. I mean, you're just gambling. Mike, my split window resto mod 63 vet that sold for 125. The same car sold for 220 later. And the guy that bought mine for 125 came up to me later at the Craig Jackson Skybox. He's like, hey, man, did you see that other one sell? I was like, no. He said, it brought a hundred grand more. He said, I went out and looked at it. He said, I like the one I bought from you better. Yours was nicer. Like, thank you. I'm so glad that y' all can't quit beating the hell out of me over this.
Turley
They're trying to make you feel better, but it doesn't work.
John Clay Wolf
No, no, no, no. It doesn't work. So they're trying to tell me, you know, I'm sorry you lost 20,000, but you were right. No, I wasn't right, because it didn't work.
Turley
Your wallet's telling you different.
John Clay Wolf
It's just a real gambler's thing. It's very high, low, lots of emotion. And all anybody wants to remember when they call into the show and sell us something is the car that brought a botch. We can't recreate that moment. That, that, that. Hey, I remember when I was sitting on the slot machine and I pulled that one arm bandit, and that went straight sevens. What do you want for yours? I want straight sevens. Yeah, well, good luck. I mean, I don't know what to say. Steve in Nashville, good morning. You're on the air.
Caller/Guest
Morning, John.
John Clay Wolf
Hey.
Caller/Guest
Hey. I called. I was listening to you earlier. You saw that BJ and the bear.
John Clay Wolf
The truck, the guy that had the 69 Peterbilt.
Caller/Guest
Yeah. I hate doing this, but, John, you're wrong. You're not wrong a lot, but you're wrong. BJ's trailer did not have a Western scene on the side of it.
John Clay Wolf
No, that's smoking the Bandit. No, no, no, no, no. I was explaining to him. He was asking me how to restore this thing, and I said, you should go along with a theme. And I said, you should do this like BJ and the Bear. If it's Cab over. I said it's kind of like the other trucks. If you do it as a bandit rig. I, I knew that wasn't a bandit movie. I do know my little, my eight, my seventies motor western. But you know what? The more we're thinking about this, I was wrong, Steve. I. He said he had a 69 Peterbilt cab over. And BJ and the bear was a KW, it was a Kenworth. It was not a Peterbilt. All right, There we go. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

John Clay Wolf
Down at the dead. Oh, good morning everybody.
Turley
Blew the speakers out.
John Clay Wolf
You like that?
Bob
Just a tad bit of over modulation for yourself.
John Clay Wolf
Anthony in Florida You've got a 84 Mustang SVO 9000. All original wants 19 grand.
Caller/Guest
Good morning, sir.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, man. Yes, I just looked it up and you know, can you get 19 grand in, you know, in the right great wind blowing moment? Sure, I'll give 10. Okay.
Caller/Guest
All right. No, I just wanted to know, you.
John Clay Wolf
Know, tell me this, this situation and I did a little research during the break on the car because I saw it sitting here in this situation. I looked at bring a trailer, I looked at mechan, I looked at all the results. I did what I do and you want it all. So how am I supposed to give 19 grand and make a living?
Caller/Guest
No, I get it. I know, I, I get, I get what you're saying, man. I just.
John Clay Wolf
So what would you take for.
Caller/Guest
I, I gotta get more than 10 for it, that's for sure.
John Clay Wolf
You know, I think I can sell it. I think, I think the real money on this car like It'll. What it should always bring is 12 and a half.
Caller/Guest
12 and a half.
John Clay Wolf
You can.
Caller/Guest
Guys.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. That from. From doing all the complicates because you know, the cars are ugly and that's not a very desirable thing. But you do have a. I think the car should be. I think the car should be worth more than that. I think the car should be worth more than that. I don't understand why it's not worth more than that. I really don't. It's.
Caller/Guest
It's a very strange car if you really want to know the truth. It's got a full brake pedal which I don't like at all. You know it doesn't have. You don't have. Doesn't have like a five speed clutch. So it's got a full brake pedal. So if you're not real careful your foot gets caught in between the brake pedal and the. In the gas. So. And I'm 69 and I'm. And I'm 69 years old. So. I've had it. When I bought it, it did not run. I bought it. I put it in storage for probably 10 years. Sat in storage, bought a house in 2010, moved it into the house, started working on it, couldn't fix it myself, gave it to my mechanic about probably five years ago and a year later it was running. He did. He did everything in the world to it. We put new PCM in it.
John Clay Wolf
What's the paint?
Caller/Guest
Paints. Beautiful.
John Clay Wolf
You see what some of these Mustangs bring you see what like I mean there's so. So I mean a Cobra R. That was the COBRA R of 1984. Yeah. Of course it didn't have as much horsepower but that was the best one they had and that was a special car. And how in the hell is that car not worth a Cobra r is worth 200 grand with 100 miles on it and this thing's only worth 10. I don't get it. I don't understand it. I'm very confused looking through these comps.
Caller/Guest
But that's why I bought it 20 years ago. I thought, you know, this is good because I collected them. I collected them and I sold them. I'm still. And I've got two. I've two cars that I'm. I don't want to get rid of this one, but I've got a 90 lx convertible, five speed that's only got 40 grand on it. And they are. They also. They've never seen rain. I've never driven them in the ring. Never. They've Never seen rain, and I want.
John Clay Wolf
That this week in my classic collector sale at Manheim, Dallas. I've got a yeah. 93 cobra with 20 on it. Yeah, you know, I paid 55 grand for that car.
Caller/Guest
Really?
John Clay Wolf
I don't understand why an 84 SVO and Mustang is only worth, you know, brings for sure, 12 and a half. I don't know.

John Clay Wolf
But Kyle put up that picture of Richard and Dennis and I yesterday at the RM auction. Do you see that one? And I don't know if he's got it up. I'm not looking at the feed.

John Clay Wolf

Bob
What's funny is what your buddy sent you, man.
Turley
Which one? Okay.
Bob
We don't have. To. We don't have to name names.
Turley
No, no. It's fine. My friend Jeff sent me a text last night, and, you know, there. Everybody's panicking about the power may go out here in Texas because you know how it's been rolling blackouts before, right?
John Clay Wolf
Mm.
Turley
Well, he sends me a picture text, and it's a group Text too. So he's trying to warn everybody that there may be some rolling from. From ERCOT. Scheduled rolling. Power outage is effective from 11pm, but by zip codes and times. Check this link for your map.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, did you get the guy with the big schlong that died?
Turley
I knew what he was doing, so I'm laughing, you know, it's like, oh, you know what? I got a generator. Haha. It's fine. And so I sent it to my wife because she's been on my ass about there's gonna be power out. I was like, look. And she's like, oh my God, no way. I go, yeah, it sucks. She said she clicks it and she's like, oh my God, I was just about to send that to my mot.
John Clay Wolf

Turley

Bob
Half of the population, that's what they do. They get a text like that of a notification of some sort, pass it along because they're Mr. Newsman.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, Mr. News. Speaking of what is in the news, Babo, do we have any news music.
Bob
Crazy news going on? I. I've been wanting to talk about this and I know it's just all just right on the verge of too late, so I'll go ahead and do it. Forgive me. The Indiana Hoosiers catch a perfect season by being the Miami Hurricanes in the college football championship. Their very first ever.
Turley
Crazy.
Bob
Sorry, I got a little excited. Miami had a chance to win that. To that interception.
Turley
Yeah, it was down to the wire. Hell of a game that was.
Bob
I mean, it was over before that, but that was really the beginning of the end. Cut number nine back, steps up, delivers downfield, intercepted.
John Clay Wolf
Jamal shirt makes the pick that will clinch Indiana's first national championship. A century of futility is forgotten. The Indiana Losures are the kings of college football.
Caller/Guest
What a win.
John Clay Wolf
Here they go. Fernando and his brother left.
Turley
Didn't he go, yeah, because the transfer portal there. They brought a quarterback in from tcu, in fact. And so he's like, yeah, I'm gonna find another place, capitalize on my last name. He's getting paid at Georgia Tech now.
John Clay Wolf
So.
Turley
But it was really cool to see the crowd singing this song serenading him.
John Clay Wolf
Were they really?
Turley
Oh, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
You can hear.
Turley
It was.
John Clay Wolf
It was.
Turley
This story is gonna be a movie. I mean, this whole freaking story of Indiana.
John Clay Wolf
It's gonna be.
Turley
It's amazing. And I. 100 bucks. So our bets. John, was a. It was an interesting weekend last weekend. Up and down, up and down. 100 bucks here. I lost 100 bucks there. Well, win 100 bucks in this game.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I was saying this might make me a little extra money.
Turley
Well, it didn't. You lost $100 on our bets from this past weekend. We bet 100 bucks a game. And the last. It was down to the wire. Was a push all the way through the playoffs or the NFL college championship game. Lost because they didn't cover.
John Clay Wolf
Yep.
Turley
So what? A hundred bucks?
John Clay Wolf
I'm a big picture guy. I'm a glass half full guy. This might make me a little extra money indirectly. So if your wife has extra money, then that means that you don't have to spend that money on her. And if Fernando made this ABBA song a hit again, then the royalties from the ABBA music will come down to my wife.
Turley
Oh, that's right. Oh, this song's getting played everywhere. I'm guaranteed that check's gonna be coming in nice for you.
John Clay Wolf
So she gets a quarterly check from ABBA since her mother, her grandmother, sisters the blonde chicken abba. And. And I guarantee you that the check will be bigger this quarter because of the stupid song in Fernando. It's awesome. All right.
Turley
There you go. Yeah. Now you're happy.
John Clay Wolf
Look at the bright side.
Turley
A lot better.
John Clay Wolf
Like, the guy that lost the money on my car made me happy.
Turley
Yeah. Speaking of cars out there, you were going to talk about Richard Rawlings buying an Impala, how that crazy buy went down.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I've seen this. Do you. Kyle, you got to put this up on the screen.
Turley
Yeah, he's got the photos of it.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so, yeah, Rollins just walked up on this car, but we'd all seen it on the Internet and at car shows over the past several years, and I didn't realize that Richard was gonna buy it. I didn't realize he bought it, actually. But it's a lowered Impala hot rod with a ridiculous blower.
Turley
And we got the photos up on JCW show right now.
John Clay Wolf
Jcwshow.com you can see them. And what do you pay for that thing?
Turley
$130,000.
John Clay Wolf
Was that the hammer price with the buy fear?
Turley
Well, that was the hammer price, so I Don't know.
John Clay Wolf
Okay, so add 10% to that.
Turley
And he opened it up at a hundred grand.
John Clay Wolf
He did? Yes. Yeah, he was feeling pretty peppy yesterday, and you could.
Turley
Yeah, you saw. I saw him on the block. He's had his hand up. He's trying to buy everything, and there was some stuff just blowing past, but he said, I'm buying that car. He opened it at 100, and it was like, okay, it's gonna be yours. He bought it. I mean, it's. It's interesting. I mean, you can't really drive it, but to shows, I guess. Right. That's what he's gonna have just for collection.
John Clay Wolf
He'll just have fun with it. And he's Richard Rollins from Gas Monkey, and he can sell it somebody. I mean, he's the perfect guy to have that car. It goes along with the whole theme of what they'. And. And he's me. They've got people, hundreds of people every week touring through Gas Monkey.
Bob
Mm.
John Clay Wolf
Gas Monkey is kind of a weird deal. Like, when people, like, car people hit Dallas, they want to touch it. It's like rubbing the rock. It's kind of a. In the United States, even at no. In the world, that location is a aura of, like, a. A monument of hot rods and cars. Right.
Bob
It's the Blarney Stone, man. You have to see it. You have to touch it.
John Clay Wolf
So they go by there and they buy a T shirt, and they do the tours, and somebody's gonna buy that car from him. He'll be fine. He had a guy. I mean, it just happens all the time, so I don't blame him. I get it now. His sister. I already did. I already tell you the story. How she was calling me saying, get him off the block.
Turley
No. You could share with everybody else in the California area, west coast.
John Clay Wolf
So if y' all were watching Bear Jackson yesterday, Rollins gets up there for a while, and he starts swinging everything. And his sister d's, like, get your boy off the stage. She's like, he. He's almost bought 10 cars, and he looks like he's been drinking, and you need to be a friend to get him off the stage.
Turley
Help me help him.
John Clay Wolf
Help me help him. And I didn't want to have to tell him, so I screenshotted it and sent it to Dennis, who was standing next to him. And then all of a sudden, I think Dennis got his attention and just walked him off. They went and did something else.
Turley
He distracted.
John Clay Wolf
Perfect. Distracted it. Oh, shoot. It was fun, though. Yeah. We're having a Good time out here for sure. For sure. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. How much time's left in this seg?

John Clay Wolf
But richard's a better buyer than I am. When he's been drinking, and that's often, by the way. And, you know, I mean, when he. When he has three pops under him, he gets pretty excited. I remember that day. And he had. Definitely had a little. He and greg, he was traveling with the gray goose on his side. Yeah, you might be right. I think it brings 25 grand.

Announcer
We now return to the John Clay Wolf Show, America's largest weekend morning show. Call John toll free. Cheap bastards. 800, 800 radio. Check out the podcast@jcwshow.com thanks for making.
John Clay Wolf
Us number one, 800, 800 7234. Good morning, America. How the hell are you? It's cold across most of our listing area. It's got a little dusting of ice on the ground, I'm sure the highways are still clear. It hadn't been heavy enough. I haven't seen any highway step. But I'm talking about dfw. I bet Oklahoma, Kansas, etc, Tennessee are worse. Johnny Cash, is he around? Johnny Cash, are you still alive?
Bob
I'm sorry to say no, John, it's.
Turley
Coming in from heaven right now, okay?
Bob
And I have to explain, every three years I have to explain that to June Carter's Book of the Month Club, okay?
John Clay Wolf
So we get mail from prisoners across the nation, actually across the world, and they send them to our P.O. box and Johnny Cash reads the selection of the week that he likes. I send them, we email him to Johnny up in heaven and then he beams down on Saturday mornings and reads one of your letters. So go ahead, Johnny, take it away, John.
Bob
This week's mail from jail entry reads, to John Clay Wolf and the gang. My name's Jonathan. I've been in since December 13th of 2020. Now, the incident that brought me to the lovely USP Beaumont was. I was sitting in my car at three in the morning smoking me a fat one. Unlike you, sir, I can handle the reefer in today's day. That's him talking, John, not me. Listening to my trusty police scanner. And went out of nowhere, this guy slashes the rear passenger tar of my car, okay?
John Clay Wolf
Tar.
Bob
I don't know if he knew I was in there or not, but when he came around to do my rear driver's side when I opened my door and introduced him to a Colt.300 and.57 python, I had with me, split second later, the hand cannon I had there kind of just went off. He was on the ground hollering that I shot him in the knee. And of course then the law is on their way. I forget to mention, I'd only been out six months at that time here in Richmond, Washington, they don't look kindly on felons with guns. So they took me to jail. The other guy was set free as soon as he left the hospital. Bastard. Anyway, after fighting the case for a while, the state dropped the assault charge. The feds picked up the gun charge as well as some pills that happened to be in my car.
Turley
He's forgetting a lot here.
Bob
Now I'm doing 144 months, that is 12 years for being an addict that happened to protect himself and his property. My release dates the middle of 2031. Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys we love the show. I'm a new listener here, but I tell everyone will hear me out about the show. I hear every letter y' all read. Ask for some change. I don't really need it. But hey, if you send some, it's much appreciated. Keep doing what y' all have been doing. Myself and the guys in here in the SHU will continue to laugh our asses off with you. P.S. hello, Johnny Cash. Hello, mate.
John Clay Wolf

John Clay Wolf
Nope, it's a streaming service.
Bob

John Clay Wolf
You took my song and made it your song.
Caller/Guest
In fact, you took our song and you gave it to God.
John Clay Wolf
He sounds like Fernando.
Bob
Oh, I see. You know what? Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. Netflix has brought back Star Search and Jelly roll is a judge on the show. So, yeah, there's a guy that signed up, Bear Bailey. He's one of the favorites. He signed up to perform Jelly Roll song. Hard fought Hallelujah before it was even announced that Jelly would be a judge on this show. That that performance had Jelly all crying and excited.
John Clay Wolf
Speaking of white trash, we got to go to break. Oh, man. Because this is a good story.

Announcer
Yo. We're back to the John Clay Wolf show taking over your radio every Saturday morning. Hit him up. 800, 800 radio. Check out the podcast@jcwshow.com or john claywolf.com and now, Senor Juan Clay Wolf.
John Clay Wolf
So we broke, and I said, speaking of white trash, because there was a story I wanted to cover. Good morning, everybody. Cold Saturday here in January. A trip to Walmart turned into a full contact sporting event last week in where else but Charlotte, Carolina. Two women getting a scuffle in the ladies underwear department over a single discounted bra. There was one Comfort Lift Deluxe, which was marked down to $6.99. It was the last Comfort Lift Deluxe bra on the rack. The only thing I'm wondering is what size was it? Because I would like to know.
Turley
It's important detail.
John Clay Wolf
Is there a video of the women doing this?
Bob
No.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, that's too bad.
Bob
There's. There's some group audio.
John Clay Wolf
What? All right, so they're fighting over this bra, and they stretched it out beyond recognition. One of them got arrested for disorderly contact. The tug of the bra cut for.
Turley
Cat fight.
Bob
I used to have an old lady like that, man.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bob
Yes.
Turley
That would fight like that.
Bob
Yes.
Turley
Oh, did. Have this happened to you?
Bob
No, I. I defused her lots of times. She came after me many times.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Really, Turley, Go to that story we had. We hit earlier. We'll play the first piece of it. Here's a. Here's a guy in Louisiana that defused a situation he got t of with his old lady, too.
Jesse High
I walked in, and they're all sitting there in the kitchen.
John Clay Wolf
And this is downstairs.
Jesse High
Downstairs. I walked in and I said, ron and Linda, you need to leave. And my wife said, they're not going anywhere. I'm half owner of this place. They stay here as long as they want to. So I went outside, I got my gun, I walked back in, I shot them all in the head, and I shot them all in the head again to make sure they were down okay.
John Clay Wolf
Wow.
Turley
Not once, but twice.
Bob
Now, that's a lot of information in a very short little clip that came out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The. The perpetrator there, if you want to call him that, is actually from Missouri. Jesse High shot his wife, Tanya F. High, 48. Her two parents, Ronald Kohler and Linda Kohler of Baton rouge, Louisiana. Jesse Hive Stafford called 911 around 6:30pm Saturday, went outside, unloaded his gun, set it down on the tailgate of his truck, and waited for the Police. He sounded like he may have been somewhat fed up. Here's a second cut. 16 2.
John Clay Wolf
So where was Ron at when you shot him?
Jesse High
Sitting in my chair at the table.
John Clay Wolf
Sitting in your chair.
Jesse High
And, you know, when I told him they needed to leave, you know, they. They didn't make a move to get up. They looked at her and decided they were staying.
John Clay Wolf
They just ignored you.
Jesse High
And that's when I decided. All right, then. Because, you know, I warned her earlier in the week. I told her I was very unhappy about this. And I said, you know, if I. You're gonna make me go off, and if you do, this is on you.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Jesse High
And this is what she got for it. She made me go off. And now there's three dead people. I didn't start off with a handgun. That's where it ended up.
John Clay Wolf
Yep. How long was it till you called 91 1? In between the time that you shot them and called 91 1?
Jesse High
Couldn't have been more than a few minutes.
John Clay Wolf
Just a few minutes.
Jesse High
And I seen my dad coming down there, and I told him, do not go down there. Get your ass back up in the house.
John Clay Wolf
Did you tell him what had happened?
Jesse High
I told him I just shot him.
John Clay Wolf
How did you react to that?
Jesse High
He was heartbroken, of course.
Bob
Yeah. We're gonna see a movie of this sometime in the next five to seven years, I'll bet you. How many details are back there in the background about this?
John Clay Wolf
A lot.
Bob
I just put you. I just put this together. This is the guy. He shot his wife and her mom and dad. It wasn't like her hang around buddies hanging around that he wanted to leave. It was.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I got that. It was her mom and dad.
Bob
No, I just got that. All the in laws in a space of 20 seconds.
John Clay Wolf
30 seconds. Mm.
Bob
Holy Jesus, man.
John Clay Wolf
Very. A matter of fact, this is the. What do they call it? Fo. Fa F. A F O. Right. F. Around and find out.
Bob
And find out.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. And it can't be the first time that he showed that much force on his positions. He's a man of his positions. So they called his bluff. And he's. He sounds like he's okay with it.
Bob
He's obviously been riding this for a long time. You don't hear a lot of methodology or motive in those first couple of cuts. But sitting down after he's already told his story once. This is a little later in the interview, and it really, really speaks to. If you think about it, 16 3.
John Clay Wolf
Who is the first one of the three that you shot?
Caller/Guest
Ron?
John Clay Wolf
You Shot Ron. He was in your chair. Did he see you coming or.
Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
What did.
Caller/Guest
He started to.
Jesse High
First he looked at her and he started turning his head to me. And by then I. I got him. And Linda was all surprised that I just shot Ron and I shot her head either way. And then I turned and I shot her in the head.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Jesse High
You know, I warned them.
Turley
Jeez.
John Clay Wolf
Well, in other news, it is cold and icy outside. And if you were on the Delta plane yesterday and they were talking about. The pilot got on the intercom to talk about having to come back to the gate to de ice the jet aircraft. He had some interesting choice of words. Plane cut six.
Caller/Guest
We're going back to the ramp. Still coordinating for a gate at this time, but we do need go back to a gate and we're coordinating with operations. Figure out exactly where they want to put it and what was the reason. We had a bunch of deicing fluid leak inside of the aircraft. Tow capacitor. Are they coordinating any kind of. Any kind of medical services or anything, or they just need to get dried off? Yeah, I think maybe a new prayer fan farm or something. But no, I think. I think issues. We're just worried about the. We're not used to coming into fuselage like that. So we want to have maintenance take a look at it, make sure we don't have a leak, if that's our bigger concern.
John Clay Wolf
I got.
Bob
If you couldn't hear that very clearly, they had a bunch of de icer, the chemical they used to keep the plane from freezing on the outside of the exterior in the wing. Somehow got inside the cabin and soaked a passenger from head to toe.
Turley
That's gotta be fun.
Bob
Yeah. So he's. He's wet, you know, but not frozen. But they were close enough to the airport, they decided. Just turn around.
John Clay Wolf
You would not believe what they charge the ice airplanes. Oh, my God. My God. I mean, I can't tell you. There's been several times we were going to leave and, well, we're gonna have to de ice the airplane. We're just staying, I'm saying, until it more than I want to admit. Oh, it's weird. I did it one time. I'm like, I ain't doing this again over five grand. Yeah, it's about that.
Turley
Oh, wow.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Turley
Just. Just to put some for my little one.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, yeah. You think about a big one. I mean, it's unbelievable.

John Clay Wolf
Crab, is it your birthday?
Jesse High
Yep.
John Clay Wolf
Congratulations. How old are you?
Caller/Guest
Hello.
John Clay Wolf
How old are you?
Caller/Guest
71.
John Clay Wolf
Dude, congrats.
Caller/Guest
I wanted to thank Charlie. Son of a bitch. I wanted to. Now you're making me forget what I was gonna say. But I wanted to thank all the wolf pack and your show. Like, I'm glad I found you guys years ago from Heidi and Frank and they're Indiana Hoosiers. So congratulations, Indiana. And I was looking forward to more sports wiener this morning because it's a big weekend. So thank you very much for all the love. And you guys are awesome, man. You've got Stern beat for sure. Thank you.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you, Crab Man. Thanks for being a key wolf packer.
Turley
He's obsessed with my sports wiener.
John Clay Wolf
Thank you. I see it. What tells about your sports, Weiner? Turley, tell us about your sports. What's going on in your sport?
Turley
Yeah, well, I mean, we had some bets last week, big ones, $200 bets. And we almost pushed. It was down to the college football game. We were betting $100 a game and that game I had the under or that Indiana would not cover the eight and a half and that happened. So I'm up another hundred dollars on John. You were down $850 for the year on our bets. We got two games this weekend. Do you want to do 100 again?
John Clay Wolf
Absolutely.
Turley
All right.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, I've lost so much money out here in Scottsdale on these cars. I mean, what's in a couple hundred bucks?
Turley
Yeah, this won't make any difference. Well, the Broncos versus the Patriots. That's the first game Sunday at 2:00'. Clock. Broncos. Did you hear Bo Nix is out, right, John, did you hear about that?
John Clay Wolf
Broke his ankle.
Turley
Yeah, the second, second to last play of the game, that great Buffalo game.
John Clay Wolf
And it was a. It was a knee down. It was.
Turley
He was taking a knee kind of. He was running. He was kind of running the clock out. The guy fell on his ankle, broke it and he's out. So the Broncos are dogs at home by four and a half points to the Patriots.
Bob
Unbelievable.
Turley
So that really means they're like a touchdown dog if you think about it. Because you get three points from Vegas.
Bob
I'm a call him a 12 point dog.
John Clay Wolf
I really don't know what the who the backup quarterback is.
Turley
No one knows anything about him because he hasn't played all year long. He hasn't taken. Taken a snap. Well, he's. I say taking a snap. He's taken come late game trash snaps. But there's a lot unknown he does. He's a running quarterback. So maybe you'll see some running more. It's gonna be. I think. Well, here. Why don't we make our bets. I think that. I don't think the Broncos are gonna win, but I don't that four and a half points is too many points there. So I'm gonna take them that New England will not cover the four and a half points.
Bob
Really?
Turley
Yes. Oh, John, do you agree or disagree?
John Clay Wolf
I will go with the Broncos. Wait, New England will not. They're going to win but not cover.
Turley
Correct.
Caller/Guest
I was going to go with that.
John Clay Wolf
Because I think that you're setting me up. I think you know something about this quarterback.
Bob
Of course he is.
John Clay Wolf
I'm not even betting on the game. I'm betting on your bluffing.
Turley
So now you have to move the line. It's four and a half points. I guess so. Does New England win by more than two and a half points?
John Clay Wolf
No.
Turley
I'm gonna let you have that, John.
John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Turley
All right.
John Clay Wolf
So.
Bob
Hey, that's me and his mini.
Turley
That men is many.
John Clay Wolf
All right.
Turley
The last game. NFC Conference championship. Rams versus Seahawks. It is in Seattle. Seattle's a two and a half point favorite. These guys, this is their third match of the year. Split them all across this last one though. Seahawks Were pounded on the rams. Seahawks look really good. Their defense is outstanding. But matt stafford is probably going to be the league MVP this year, putting up huge numbers. 46 touchdowns at his age. That's amazing.
John Clay Wolf
It's your first year.
Turley
Go first on this one, john. Do the seahawks win by two and a half.
John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Turley
I'm going to take the rams. I'm going with the quarterback again. And it pretty much said it worked out for me great. I mean, it's. He's. I like him a lot better Than when old seattle's got over there.
John Clay Wolf
Hey, guys, on the stream, My battery, my charger is not working on my laptop Because I'm remote today. And it is. I think I'm gonna lose the stream and lose my computer in a minute, which is fine. I'll still be on the radio, but you won't see my image and I won't be able to answer phone calls.
Turley
Oh, that's not good. You don't have your charger?
John Clay Wolf
I've got a charger, but it is. It is blinking. It is, like, coming in and out and in and out, and it's not gaining any ground. And I just don't think this is gonna work. I've been fighting this for the last 30 minutes, and I think that it's almost dead. So just letting you know what they.
Turley
Look at on the screen.
John Clay Wolf
They're gonna look at you, and they're gonna look at bob, and they're gonna look at the pictures that video guy puts up. And we have a. We have a video going up at noon central again today. The videos have been doing really well lately. The YouTube has taken off it finally. I've been saying this for about three months, but every week it's getting better and better and better in this ferrari stuff that we didn't make the barrett deal with for richard and I. Building this ferrari. Are people building this ferrari? It didn't make it, but it's really okay. I'm fine with it. I think we might unveil it at amelia island.
Bob
Oh, man. Can I tell you something, john?
John Clay Wolf
Those.
Bob
Those last two about the. About the 6x Ferrari that you guys did. Are we gonna make it? The big, you know, the big reveal as, you know, the cliffhanger. Are we gonna. Are we gonna get the drama? Thank you. Are we gonna. Are we gonna make it? Are we gonna not. That episode and the following that came out Wednesday Were the best things you've done in a little while because you had some really good ones last six months. But those were just awesome. Looking Good to watch, good flow, good pacing. A lot of change of the characters around the shop. And you got them all in one place over Gas Monkey. Outstanding, man. Good tv.
Turley
Good drama. It was good drama. And it's disappointing, but I think, like you saying now, you guys are gonna have a lot of time to showcase what you've done, and it's amazing. I don't know if you've talked about this yet, but is there anything left from the original build? From the Frenchies? What?
John Clay Wolf
They did seats.
Turley
That's it.
John Clay Wolf
I mean, they bought the seats. We. We bought the. I bought the seats and. And sent them to them and they installed them, but other than that.
Turley
So you paid well for seats.
John Clay Wolf
Basically five grand.
Turley
No, I'm talking about for the Frenchies. What did you end up paying?
Bob
Wow.
John Clay Wolf
What did I. What did I. Oh, no, no. Oh. 75,000.
Turley
So. 75,000 for seats, basically. Right.
John Clay Wolf
That's what we paid them for their labor. Yeah. And then we paid all of the parts and the shipping and the transport and the rooms and the flights. So, yeah, they. They got paid 75,000 just for their time, and we had to spend another hundred fifty thousand to undo and redo the time that we paid them for their faulty work. That is just.
Bob
That's a bit of rip off.
John Clay Wolf
Yep. What's funny about that episode and that whole series is it's not. There are people in the comments like, God, this feels like Orange Town, Orange County Choppers and all the bs and this feels like a Discovery Channel bs And it is so real. There is not one manufactured piece of drama in any of this story at all, whatsoever. That's what.
Bob
I love that first video we got some of the mean tweets of that. Some of our trollers were out there talking about it.
John Clay Wolf
Dude, on the Gas Monkey video, I would look through the comments. I mean, there's thousands of them.
Bob
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And they're just. A lot of them are just bagging the hell out of me. I don't know if you saw that. Just hate me.
Bob
They're a lot nicer you on our page, but on the Gas Monkey page.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bob
It's just.
John Clay Wolf
There's a lot of hate.
Bob
Yeah. You lean in on cars. Like, I'm so like. Like, is anybody not, like, really tired about hearing about that?
Turley
Very much.
Bob
And Richard thinks it's the funniest damn thing. Oh, they're tearing your ass up badly in all them cars.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, but. But they just hate me being that involved in a Gas Monkey deal because they're not used to me Being in the middle of it like that.
Bob
Absolutely.
John Clay Wolf
Like, who is this guy and why is he around? Screw this guy. Get him out of there. He's drunk. He's drunk. I'm not drunk. I'm. I'm, I'm handicapped, dumbass. I, I wobble when I walk. I can't balance. That's why I'm always leaning on something.
Bob
It takes time. It's a natural.
John Clay Wolf
This guy's an alcoholic. Send him to aa. I'm like, you're. Because, Because I'm always when. And I, I think that the Gas Monkey guys get a kick. They, they claim they don't, but I can just read from the comments. I haven't watched it, but I think they probably catch me. I think I get a few bad edits.
Turley
Oh yeah.
Bob
Maybe, maybe, maybe.
John Clay Wolf
Do you think that they edit when Gas Monkey. When Gas Monkey edits the video. Right. When Gas Monkey edits the video. Have you see if you watch the whole thing on their side. Do they edit in more bad looks of me than our guys do?
Bob
Not terribly, no.
Turley
I don't think so. No, no, no, there's nothing. There is like, oh, gosh, you look really bad there, John. No.
John Clay Wolf
Well, there's a couple of comments said like they said at this point, he just looks so wasted. Somebody put him to bed. Like, what Wasted?
Bob
That's terrible, man.
Turley
I have no idea. That's. They're gonna feel so bad when they figure it out.
Bob
I really think they're making you the Yoko because, you know, they said for years Yoko broke up the Beatles and the Beatles hate Yoko. Yeah, they're just, you're the new guy in their already established frame of entertainment. And it will catch on. You know, I think you're, I think you're catching on fine here. This at the, what, two year mark? Year and a half mark?
John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Bob
Because you guys have been acquainted for a lot longer than you've been online together.
Turley
Speaking of catching on, a lot of folks are going to givemetheven.com from those YouTube clips too, so.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, it's. And submitting stuff. Yeah, I'm noticing. And we're getting some interesting stuff. Very interesting. More specialized cars to look at, which is, which is really nice from, from the YouTube effort. And, and that's really what, you know, the, the YouTube money is good. We're making about. I bet this month we'll get 25, 000 YouTube money.
Turley
Oh, wow.
John Clay Wolf
But the cost of production, I mean, we've got four working on filming and editing and effects and all that stuff. Not to mention travel cost. So the. If the production can cut. If the YouTube money can cover the production, we're good. I mean, our YouTube. Our YouTube money for the first, you know, two and a half years was $400 thousand. So we're just bleeding. We've got tons of catch up to do if I'm gonna get even on the what I've invested in production versus what we're getting paid from YouTube for putting these videos out. But it'll be fine. I'm happy with it. It's all good, man. It's fun, actually. It's fun to get a new medium that's actually working, you know? Okay, so, Gerald, how much time do I have?
Turley
We gotta go to lightning right now.
John Clay Wolf
Break. All right, then I'm gonna come back. And we've got Gerald's picks loaded up from Denver, Colorado. He has a 57 Bel Air he wants to sell us. And this time, guys, you can see his actual car because we had him text the pictures to our producers and they've loaded him into our system. So if you go to jcwshow.com during the break, you can click through to the YouTube video and you'll be able to see the car I'm actually looking at for once in my life. Because when we're building these cars on the radio, I never get to see them. I'm just visualizing it. And this time, I'll actually get to see the car. So this be interesting. Go to jcwshow.com and you can actually see the live photos as we do this. And you can comment in the comment section if you think I'm high or low or whatever. Be right back. I'm worth more.
Caller/Guest
I'm worth more. You bet I'm worth more. We completely agree@givemethevin.com you are worth more.
John Clay Wolf
And your car's worth more.
Caller/Guest
And we want to pay more for good cars that give me the vin because it's.
John Clay Wolf
They are worth more and so are you.
Caller/Guest

Bob

Announcer
Now back to the John Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com hit him up right now. 1, 800, 800 radio. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf show.
John Clay Wolf
Hey there. This is John Clay Wolf and We have a man in Denver, Colorado that's been on hold that sent us pictures of his Bel Air that he wants us to buy. Gerald, are you there?
Caller/Guest
I sure am. How you doing, man?
John Clay Wolf
Good. Good. So tell me about your car.
Caller/Guest
Good. Yeah. Well, my dad had it for about 30 years. He bought it probably around 92, 93. And we didn't get. Get around to doing anything to it until about 2008 when my mom was about on her last legs and we didn't get it done. So it sat in the trailer, in the enclosed trailer until he died in 20, 23. And then I inherited the car. And I got it. You know, I got it going. I, I got it. It's. It's. It's not quite done. It needs some work still. It needs the interior. You know, the paint on it is 25 years old. My dad painted it, but it still looks good. It's straighter in a pin. It has. Absolutely. And I'm telling you true, man, no rust. None.
John Clay Wolf
So did you do this or did your dad do it?
Caller/Guest
We both did it. My dad did the body and paint and I did the mechanical.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. I am so glad. And guys, on YouTube, you can see what we're doing right now. I'm so glad I asked for pictures. This is. And you want 73, 000 for it, is that right?
Caller/Guest
I told Ryan 72 and he asked me how I, I came to that number. You know, just, just what I haven't insured for. And the, and the, the money I put in it since, since I did inherit. Inherit it. Now it's in about end of July, I got it and put the five speed Tremec TKX in it. You know, the dual disc clutch, the. The pedals from Classic Industries, the all aluminum, the pedals. You know, I've just got quite a bit of money in it.
John Clay Wolf
But you know, you're gonna lose your ass. I'm so glad I asked for these pictures. I've got a big sensitivity to this. And, and let me not insult you. Please don't take it. Insult them. I'm gonna pick this car apart and I'll tell you what I'm. Why. And it's not you want market. Market is all I'm talking about. Desirability. That's the, that's what drives markets. So the blower is okay. Superchargers way better. The blower doesn't throw me that hard. But the seats. Oh my God. Are wrong in the steering wheel. Looks like it came out of a PT Cruiser. And the, it came out of a.
Caller/Guest
It came out of my stock car. But anyway, I know what you're saying, man. Go ahead. Keep on right.
John Clay Wolf
I can take it. I can take it. Give me some more pictures, Kyle. I can't. Let me see the side shot again. I think it's. I think it's in the garage though. Yeah. I, I just. So there. Yeah. That interior, man. That interior is killing me. It is this car. If it rolled across this car, Barrett today would bring 30 grand minus the fees. So 3,000. So you'd get 25 grand your way. That's really what I believe. Yeah.
Caller/Guest
Got. I've got more interest than that.
John Clay Wolf
Oh, I know you do.
Caller/Guest
I've got more into it.
John Clay Wolf
You're talking to a guy that sold us a 63 split window yesterday. Vet.
Caller/Guest
I, I know. With an LS about you, man. I know you, you know. You know your stuff, man.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but I, I, I lost 20, 000 on that car. I sold it for 125. And do you know why? Because one little problem on the paint, One little problem on the paint, on the door is what guys pointed out. And that the wheels, the aftermarket knockoffs that were damn near 10,000 needed to be 1 inch larger. That's how picky everybody is, right? It's just crazy.
Caller/Guest
I know.
John Clay Wolf
If it ain't. If it. See, you see that Bel air? That brings 150. I bought a Bel Air. I bought a 56 last night. A green one that it's a $250,000 restoration, right? And I, my friend, laid one hundred and fifty grand for it. And I knew the car. And I bought it last night at Barrett for 104. He paid 150 for it six weeks ago. And so his check was 9,90,000. He lost $60,000 on that car. Why? Because the Bellairs are coming down. But this car did not have an LS in it. And everybody wants an ls. And it was green. I think the color's cool. But I mean, that same build that brought 104 last night, if it had an LS in very easily, could have done 200. Is that weird?
Caller/Guest
Damn.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. It's just. It's that crazy. It's crazy.
Caller/Guest
So that's a fifty thousand dollar jump with an LS.
John Clay Wolf
It's a hundred thousand dollar jump with an LS because I saw a blue one ten cars before it do 195,000. Wow. It's just weird, man. If you go to Barrett Jackson, go through the auction results from yesterday last night. Look at the blue one. And then look at the two green ones. He gave 75 for one of the green ones. He gave 150 for the other, and I paid 104. And the one he gave 75 for brought 90. He lost 60,000 on that one car. And then look at the blue one. That sold 10 cars ahead of it, that brought 100,000 more. And you tell me why. And the answer is an LS engine. It's that stupid. I don't get a man. I mean, what.
Caller/Guest
You ended up. You ended up getting one heck of a deal, it sounds like to me.
John Clay Wolf
But I gotta sell it to somebody, right? So there. There was. There was thousands of people in that room. Thousands. And I was the high man. So that tells me that, yeah, I mean, I can. I can flip it off somewhere, but. But I'm not. The markets. The market spoke, and that's what it was. And I took the risk on it because I'd sat in the car somewhere else. I knew the car, I knew the builder, and I love it. And if it doesn't earn anything, I love it, and I'm gonna take it to the ranch and put it in my barn for. I bought the car for me. I didn't buy it to make money with because I think if it was gonna make money, it would have made money last night. All right. Thank you, man.
Caller/Guest
You made money on it. If you're gonna keep it, you make money on it. You know what I mean?
John Clay Wolf
True. But when I keep cars, I still. When I keep cars, I still want them to earn something or bust out when I'm done with it. I don't go into a car to lose. I just don't. I just don't emotionally buy. I just. There was a Blazer last night at the end that I really wanted that brought 110,000. And I've been jonesing hard for a. For a built K5, a real one. And I quit it, you know? Right. Because I was like, I'm. I'm gonna lose on it. And. And I just. That's. I just don't buy emotional. I buy. I will spend a ton of money on a car that I love if I think I can get out of it. But if I don't think I can get out of them, I don't have.
Caller/Guest
I don't have the capital you have, you know? So this is just.
Bob
This is like.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah, I hear you, man. Hey, the. The red light's blinking. We got a boogie. Thank you. And this was an interesting phone call. My name Is John Clay Wolf. Be right back.
Jesse High
Hey.
Announcer
For all things give me the vision. Check out jcwshow.com.
Bob
Historic winter storm hitting most of the country that's bringing brutal temperatures and over 20 inches of snow. Greenland heard and was like, well, you wanted us.
Announcer
You got us back to the John.
John Clay Wolf
Clay Wolf show, presented by givemethevin.com Turley, you bought. So we had a listener that sold us a truck, a short wide square for seven grand about three years ago. And you bought it for like 7500, is that right? From us?
Turley
Yeah, it was a GMC.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. But it's like a 85 short wide. Yep, yep.
Turley
Just a 305.
John Clay Wolf
And I thought I was doing you a big favor by selling you that car cheap. And you did, too. You did, too. And because sometimes those things can bring a lot of money. And then when you got done with it. Well, first of all, it kept breaking down. Correct.
Turley
Had to put. I put probably four grand of work into it.
John Clay Wolf
Really?
Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
I did not know that. Piece of the puzzle. Oh, yeah. Okay, so you got a collector car for your son, and it really. I mean, it's just a 85 short ride, right?
Turley
Yeah.
John Clay Wolf
And you wind up spending and you, we quote, unquote, stole it, right?
Turley
Yes.
John Clay Wolf
And then you. Then you have to spend $4,000 keeping it running. And then two or two years later, you're like, I'm done with this son of a bitch. It's too much problem. Can I sell it in the lane? And I say, yeah. And we run it and it brought seven grand and I didn't sell it because I was trying to protect you and you were, too. And then we ran it two more times. Or one more time.
Turley
One more time.
John Clay Wolf
And what did it sell for ten.
Turley
Grand, I think is when I got it. Finally got out of it.
John Clay Wolf
Okay. And you had 12 in it.
Turley
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Clay Wolf
Yeah. And didn't it arbitrate. Didn't they not like it? Yeah, it arbitrated the first.
Turley
Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah. But. And then we sold it for the same money again, but it arbitrated for some stupid. They didn't realize anyway. Yeah. It's just dumb reason. Got it back in. I don't know if the same guy bought it or not.
Bob
I don't remember.
John Clay Wolf
I think we had to spend money on it to get it fixed, though. Anyway, these old cars, guys, I'm telling you, the reason resto mods and pro touring cars, these hundred and fifty and two hundred grand rigs, cost so much is because they're not the same car. They're new and they don't break and they're reliable. And if you get under 50 grand on one of these old cars, you will be working on it and spending money on it. It's just the way it is. It's just the. The window motor is going to go out, the radio is not going to work, the air conditioner is going to screw up. The. The rear end is going to crack up. It's just something. And it's every thousand miles suspension.
Turley
I mean, there's. It was on and on and. Yeah, you just get tired of it and you're like, I know I'm gonna get my money back. I know. I hear this all the time. You never get your money back what you put into it. Never, ever.
John Clay Wolf
Go watch my fire chicken video we put up a month ago. If you don't believe it. You want to see a sob, sad story of me going through a beat down of two and a half years of a full rebuild? You know, when I hired that crackhead to pull that thing apart? Squirrel, he's not a crackhead. Because I don't know. I don't want to get sued. That goofy guy. I knew that he wasn't the guy, but I was like, surely he can take this thing apart. And he did take it apart. But when he sandblasted, he left the glass in it and the dash like a moron. It's just. And we had to take all that apart and get all the. All the little grains. It's just. It's hard. Everybody tells you they know what you're doing. And then Bill from Chicago comes down and he's going to save the day. And he's a vodka head and he does kind of know what he's doing. But then they gave him another job to work on. Something else that we were working on. A 32 deuce that was trying to get to the auction. And he fried the entire electrical system. And it cost about $3,500 to fix that. And he did not finish the Trans Am. He said he'd have it done in two weeks. Two and a half. Two months later, we're like, hey, Bill, you've drank every drop of Tito's. I have. I got four big handles. He cleared vodka, huh?
Turley
Didn't he clear your bar out at the saloon?
John Clay Wolf
