Host John Clay Wolf
Did you get any pushback from us talking about Dan Haggerty last week on the air?
Co-host John
No.
Host John Clay Wolf
A lot of people were surprised to find out that you were his pimp.
Co-host John
I was not his pimp. John. Was he even close to his pimp? I just was around him when he was, I guess, getting stuff from a pimp.
Host John Clay Wolf
Okay, well, you said he lives so hard like. Yeah. Give me an example. Dan Haggerty is the original Grizzly Adams, by the way, and he passed away with David Bowie and Glenn Frey.
Co-host John
What a crazy house.
Host John Clay Wolf
Everyone else, last week, three.
Co-host John
Three bedroom apartment. That's gonna be. Right. That'd be insane.
Host John Clay Wolf
I mean, he's just.
Guest Singer
You.
Co-host John
There's stories from when he was just what, in the 80s doing free basin and burning his beard. You heard about that story and.
Host John Clay Wolf
No.
Co-host John
Yeah, I mean that's, that's a pretty popular story. Anybody can google that one up. And he was just a heavy drinker. Heavy, heavy drinker. And once he got off, when he realized he couldn't do coke anymore. Or cocaine.
Host John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Co-host John
Or free base. And you know, there was at one time, actually we had him, him and Rick James in the same room and they, they shared a joint together.
Host John Clay Wolf
You and Rick James and, and Gris. This sounds like a Jewish joke.
Co-host John
No, this is.
Host John Clay Wolf
So you got you, Rick James, John Popper and Grizzly Adams sitting in a room, passing a joint.
Co-host John
Yep.
Host John Clay Wolf
Okay. Where was this?
Co-host John
This was in Hollywood. This is at the Beverly Hills Hotel. We, we did a show, a remote from there.
Host John Clay Wolf
All right.
Co-host John
We had these roundtables of just interesting people.
Host John Clay Wolf
Who was the most interesting of that group you just described that day? I mean, Rick James, who makes my. I love his interviews from the Dave Chappelle Show.
Co-host John
I found that the stories. Was Grizzly Adams really Dan Haggerty? Yeah. Cuz he, he was with all the Hollywood elites back in the 80s, in the 70s. Well in his early 80s and he was still hanging around there at that time. So we had some interesting stories. Rick James was just a fun guy, funner guy that you know he is. His stories were just all rock and roll, which I enjoy too. But Dan, he was a life of a party.
Host John Clay Wolf
So Dan was a bigger hoot than Rick James.
Co-host John
Yeah, yeah. Rick wasn't all there, you know, I mean, Dan, Dan. Not, not that Dan was either. Popper was just. He's just a chill. He's a real kind of deep thinker.
Host John Clay Wolf
Right.
Co-host John
So if you're into that. Yes, it was cool, but. Yeah, it was. That's. That was one of my. The most interesting roundtables I've ever been a part of.
Host John Clay Wolf
Charlie's glory days.
Co-host John
Yeah.
Host John Clay Wolf
That's fun. People are weird, man. Hey, you know, speaking of weird stuff. So this guy that I. I live in the country boy, where I live now. I lived. I moved in with my dad when I was like nine and I went to private school in Fort Worth and I lived out in the sticks and so I played with the local kids and my dad was always like. And I didn't understand what the deal was. It was a rougher cut out there for sure. And it's funny seeing that now because I remember this one fellow that my dad just absolutely said, you cannot hang with. Oh, yeah. And I haven't seen him in 30 years. What am I, 43? I hadn't seen him in 25 years. And he. I saw him on Facebook, you know, five years ago. Oh, Ronnie. I tagged him as a friend. I hadn't seen him forever. We used to ride motorcycles together. He's the first guy I ever saw smoke weed, and it freaked me out. And he's one of the first guys ever told me about screwing girls and all this stuff. That dude.
Co-host John
That guy.
Host John Clay Wolf
Yes.
Co-host John
Everybody has that friend.
Host John Clay Wolf
And he posted on Facebook the story about breaking up with his fiance because he caught her having sex with her sons and she's been screwing her stepdad.
Co-host John
Oh, my God.
Host John Clay Wolf
I'm like, wow, that's heavy. So I.
Co-host John
He shared that on Facebook.
Host John Clay Wolf
Yes, people did.
Co-host John
I don't understand that. Anyway, I could read it.
Host John Clay Wolf
Let me pull it up here. And he. I. I couldn't leave it alone. I mean, it's like saying, I murdered someone and here's the body. That's the way I took it. I mean, that's pretty heavy to claim molestation on a social media.
Co-host John
Yeah, that's really heavy.
Host John Clay Wolf
I wonder what she thought.
Co-host John
Yeah, I mean, I can't believe that she would approve of that post.
Host John Clay Wolf
I don't think that she. She care. I mean, he didn't really care because he kept reposting it, but. But it just kind of showed me, you know, maybe your daddy was right on that one.
Co-host John
Your dad was right on that one.
Host John Clay Wolf
On that one. Yeah. And I wrote like, how old are these kids? And he said, 21 and 23. Wonder if it's true, you know?
Co-host John
But he said.
Host John Clay Wolf
He said he caught. I said, how do you know? He said, I saw it in my own two eyes. And then it makes you wonder, is that illegal? Did she break the law by. If this is true, if she. If she made. If she was intimate with her sons. Yes. That were 21 and 23. Is it legal? Is that illegal? So they're of age.
Co-host John
Well, now, if they're of age, I guess not.
Host John Clay Wolf
I mean, of course it's in bad taste. Terrible. In poor taste. And then her. Her having relations with her. With her stepdad that's married to her mom. Several accounts. He broke up because she kept cheating on him with family members. Well, I mean, was really his message kept.
Co-host John
Cap, continue. What about one time?
Host John Clay Wolf
Yeah, but I mean, come on. I just found that. I found it amazing that that that's what it's all come to. And, you know, it made me. There's. My kid has a. A little friend. Country friend. Mama's been in the pen. Grandma, you know, where's mama? She's in jail. And. And Dad's in jail. And stepdad, he's weird, and he sleeps all day, and we're like, you know, maybe he shouldn't be spending the night at this guy's house. Maybe this is not the best place.
Co-host John
Yeah.
Host John Clay Wolf
And he's a sweet little kid, but, like, he'll. He'll come home from school. We live in the country. This kid lives two miles away. He'll come home from school, nobody's there, and he'll just walk over to our house. You're kidding. No, I'm not kidding. Where. Where are your parents? I don't know.
Co-host John
That's. That's.
Host John Clay Wolf
And my wife's got a big heart.
Co-host John
Disturbing.
Host John Clay Wolf
Yeah. My wife's got a big heart. She takes him in. I was like, after several rounds, this. I'm like, because mom's in jail, he's living with stepdad. I'm like, wait a minute. I've got four of these already. I see. I mean, I don't want this one. I don't want another one.
Co-host John
You don't want. You want to take them in?
Host John Clay Wolf
No, I don't want to take them in. And I feel for him, and I'm not trying to be cold, but, I mean, I'm not picking up strays right now, man.
Co-host John
So you think this is what your next step is?
Host John Clay Wolf
No, no, I strays up. I put the kibosh on this one a while back, since you.
Co-host John
Since you got it snipped. This is the only way that she's gonna have more kids, right?
Host John Clay Wolf
Picking and strays like animals, Like a Randy Travis Stone.
Co-host John
Here's what you got to do.
Host John Clay Wolf
I'm picking up straight.
Co-host John
If you see her more and more doing that, just get her a dog or something. Get something to distract her.
Host John Clay Wolf
Pick up stray dogs. And we've had some pretty heated debates on that, too, but that's a little.
Co-host John
Bit easier just to handle.
Host John Clay Wolf
You can't shoot them. You're in jail. Yeah.
Co-host John
You can't re.
Host John Clay Wolf
Dump.
Co-host John
Well, sometimes they end up running away. Gates left open.
Host John Clay Wolf
They always do.
Co-host John
Yeah.
Host John Clay Wolf
So that's a good thing. Easy come, easy to go. They come, they feed them for a while, and they just go away.
Co-host John
But with a friend, a kid coming, you can't just. That won't work.
Host John Clay Wolf
No. No. But seeing Ronnie's Facebook post really validated my. I don't want to. I want to Be this kid's father, the one that the current stray.
Co-host John
So was his parents situation similar to that?
Host John Clay Wolf
I don't know.
Co-host John
You didn't know because he has a kid. But I'm sure your dad knew and.
Host John Clay Wolf
That was part of my dad.
Co-host John
No, he just saw the kid himself. Okay.
Host John Clay Wolf
Yeah, he just.
Co-host John
He's a good. You know, your boy's friend there is not like he doesn't look like his bad influence. Right.
Host John Clay Wolf
So far a little bit. He's talking about lion and he. Yeah, there's been some bad behavior. Awful. But these guys are young, dude. They're in third grade.
Co-host John
Yeah.
Host John Clay Wolf
So anyway. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. You hear a funny story about a Houston car dealer?
Co-host John
Yes, I love these stories.
Host John Clay Wolf
These desert operation Dune. We got into that last week with the Middle Eastern car dealers. They're so funny. I mean they're just so clannish. They're everywhere, dude. I mean everywhere. So Mahmoud and Muhammad. Sounds like a Bible prophecy. Muhammad and Mahmoud. Muhammad is at a Mercedes dealership or Lexus dealership. He's a wholesaler. And he's got an opportunity to buy some trade ins in Houston, Texas. So Muhammad calls Mahmoud because Muhammad has no money. And Mahmoud goes over there and looks at him with Muhammad. So Muhammad's brokering these cars for the Mercedes store to Mahmoud. And Mahmoud says, oh, they're all too high. And he leaves and they leave. Then Mahmoud does the end around on Muhammad.
Co-host John
Oh no.
Host John Clay Wolf
And Mahmoud comes back and buys the cars, but the Mercedes store clearly wanted them not in Texas. So he used this other guy's dealer's license from Louisiana. He said, just, buddy, buddy, I've got a dealer. Let us put it on his P number. And he puts it under Louisiana wholesale and whatever, that's all. And he got a check from a Moods company. And then all these Iranians are driving these cars around Houston racking up tolls on the toll tags on all the toll bays. And so the customers that traded them in start getting the toll tag hits. And then one of them goes to the dealership and says, hey, I've got all these fines from TxDOT or the toll association after I sold this to you. He's like, okay. And they're like, well, how's that? Because we sent him to Louisiana. And so they called the dealer in Louisiana. He doesn't know anything about it. And Mahmoud and Muhammad got, you know, all the. Everything came undone. The truth came out. Big fight. I don't know if anybody got shot.
Co-host John
But that's my the end around, huh?
Host John Clay Wolf
My Iranian car dealer story for the week, they're amazing. It just never ends. I've seen these guys pay in cash. You know that those stories of terrorists funding Americans through cars? Yeah. Have you ever Story about two years, but I've seen it. I've seen auctions taking briefcases full of cash from these non, you know, the Arab speaking dealers here. Here's all the money for these cars we bought today. Where the hell did they get $100,000 cash?
Co-host John
Can't really turn it down. I mean, I guess you could, but he finally did.
Host John Clay Wolf
He said, I'm not doing this anymore. The auction owner?
Co-host John
Yeah.
Host John Clay Wolf
This ain't gonna work. There's something up here, but I firmly believe. Oh, and then there was another guy that I know that was got in trouble for buying cars in Houston at auctions and sending them. He was supplying ISIS with vehicles out of Texas.
Co-host John
Wow.
Host John Clay Wolf
Yeah. Went to jail. Jimmy runs deep, dog. The Jimmy runs deep. My name is John Clay Wolf. Be right back.
Guest Singer
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black.
Host John Clay Wolf
No more will my green seagull turn a deeper blue.
Guest Singer
I could not foresee this thing happening to you if I look hard enough into the setting sun My love will laugh with me before the morning comes I see a red door and I want it painted black no colors in therefore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by Dressed in their summer flow I have to turn my head until my darkness goes. I want to see a fader. I want to see a fader Faded fader faded black yeah, Sam.
Show Announcer
Now back to the John Clay Wolf Show. Hit him up right now. 1, 800, 800 radio. This is the John Clay Wolf show.
Host John Clay Wolf
For those of y' all who've been riding along all morning, since we started, we've been eagling it pretty hard because of Glenn Frey's passing. And this song is heavy Eagles influence. Glenn Frey started with Bob Seeger. He was one of his mentors in the business. And if you listen as we get to the chorus of this song, you'll hear the Eagles. They came back when Bob recorded this and did the backup vocals on it. Little quid pro Clarice, but that in the background is Don and Glenn and the rest of the crowd. Joe was too stoned to attend the session. I believe 800, 800 radio is the call in number and we've got nine minutes left before we're Audi. So if you want to bid on your car, call now or just go to givemetheven.com givemetheven.com giveMetheven.com if we don't beat a CarMax offer, we'll send you a hundred dollar check. How about that? No questions asked. If you send us a fake CarMax offer, a picture of a fake CarMax offer which we've caught people doing, we won't send you $100. How about that? And we have a way to know because I know the codes and the little secret codes that you don't know about on those offer letters for both Texas Direct and Carmex. And you can try it, but I'm sure someone's gotten one over us on it. I'm sure we've sent $100 that we didn't know here and there. But nonetheless, we'll beat the CarMax offers. If we don't, we'll send you a hundred dollar check. Go to givemetheven.com, plug in your VIN number and push a couple pictures and miles and we'll shoot you an offer letter. And if you've already been to CarMax and have their offer letter, take a picture of it and send it to us. If we don't beat it, we'll send you a hundred dollar check. How about that? I mean it's just. I don't know what else to say.
Co-host John
Well, yeah, we've witnessed. Should I up people coming in?
Host John Clay Wolf
Should I up it to a 200 check?
Co-host John
Why not? I mean, I mean you're beating them by at least 300, 400 bucks.
Host John Clay Wolf
We beat them, so at least it changes. I've beat him up to 3,000 before.
Co-host John
Oh well, yeah, but most of them are nickel.
Host John Clay Wolf
Most of them are nickel or 200 or 400. It just. But nonetheless, if we don't be able to send you a hundred dollar. Turn it up this. Who's that sound like the Eagles. One more time. Just like the Eagles. I love this tune. So the hell freezes tour is not going to happen this year. No, hell has frozen over. England went to heaven. Let's hope. 800-800-radio. 800-800-7234. We were talking about Carfax earlier and Robert, our gimme the VIN delivery man that pulls the three car, the. Give me the VIN trailer. He. I didn't realize this but he had someone run into his trailer recently. Oh no. A few months ago. Didn't touch the truck. He has a 2014 King Ranch, dually nice truck. Bought brand new from a friend of mine and someone hit the trailer and there was a police report and guess who's Got a bad carfax on their 2014 or 15 King Ranch dually now. You're kidding. No.
Co-host John
There's not a dent on the truck.
Host John Clay Wolf
Didn't touch the truck.
Co-host John
So how is that possible?
Host John Clay Wolf
Carfax is what I'm telling you. These guys, I mean, they're idiots. So his truck is worth 20% less. So it's a $40,000 used truck. And it's worth 20% less right now until he can get that cleared up.
Co-host John
It's a trailer. I guess they can't. There's not a vent on the trailer.
Host John Clay Wolf
So they have to truck.
Co-host John
Wow.
Host John Clay Wolf
That's what I'm talking about. When he sent me that, I'm like, that's a perfect example. That's exactly the inefficiencies I'm talking about. So if he's forced to sell that car today, it's Gonna cost him $10,000 because of that error. So does Carfax pay the $10,000? Hell no. See, somebody needs to sue their ass. This would be.
Co-host John
That'd be a great example right there.
Host John Clay Wolf
Perfect example. 800-800-7234. Just go to givemetheven.com or just call anything. If anybody has any Eagle stuff. We got five minutes left before we're out of here and I'd love to hear it.
Co-host John
Hey, by the way, I got to pay off something. Speaking of payoffs.
Host John Clay Wolf
Oh, yeah, the 20.
Co-host John
Yeah, I got a. I owe John a 20. Bill Little.
Host John Clay Wolf
Packers. Patriots 20. Was it Packers?
Co-host John
No, no, it was a Patriots. Chiefs.
Host John Clay Wolf
Oh, that's right.
Co-host John
My hatred for the Patriots screwed me. I thought the Chiefs would win. They didn't. They lost. Freaking Patriots win. They're in the AF AFC championship again. They're probably gonna beat the Broncos. They're gonna probably win the freaking super bowl again. Because they're great at cheating.
Host John Clay Wolf
Oh, God. Just cuz they're great. You have to call them a cheater.
Co-host John
Well, they are proven cheaters though.
Host John Clay Wolf
Yeah, they're aggressive. I mean, I think Carolina is going to win. And I got 100 on that with you.
Co-host John
Well, if they play the Broncos. Yeah, that's. That's the bet. If it's Carolina versus the Broncos.
Host John Clay Wolf
Oh, was that the bet?
Co-host John
Yes.
Host John Clay Wolf
I thought it was Carolina versus. No, no, no, no. So who's this weekend.
Co-host John
So Patriots, Broncos.
Host John Clay Wolf
Is it today?
Co-host John
No, it's Sunday at 2:00'. Clock. Okay, that's going to be a great game. The line is three, New England. So basically pick them.
Host John Clay Wolf
Where is it?
Co-host John
It's in Denver in the line.
Host John Clay Wolf
So it's a six point line for Patriots.
Co-host John
Well, yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. New England's favored by three. So yeah, if you think about it.
Host John Clay Wolf
Six points because the home team gets automatic three. Wow. Okay. So Patriots are supposed to win this one.
Co-host John
It's gonna be probably rainy, so that might help out the Broncos.
Host John Clay Wolf
Well, they might need to let a little air out of the ball just so they can get a good grip.
Co-host John
Well, the Peyton, they might want to blow him up because I thought the Brady doesn't know. He likes them soft.
Host John Clay Wolf
No, what I'm saying is the Patriots might need to deflate with the rain. Of course they will. Yes. And the Cards in the Panthers. When is.
Co-host John
That's five. That's probably gonna be the game. Out of the two of them that's gonna be the one to watch.
Host John Clay Wolf
What is the line on that game?
Co-host John
It's Carolina's favored by three. That's the pick. And where is the Carolina? And the weather's cold. It's not gonna be snowy there. But that field is probably gonna be in bad condition. So I could probably see a low scoring game there. Over and under is 47. I don't think it's gonna be that high. That's gonna be a good game. A lot of people are picking those experts out there. I think the Cardinals are gonna do it because they have a better offense. But Carson Palmer is just so. Did you used to watch that game with the Green Bay last week? Hail Mary at the end with Aaron Rodgers.
Host John Clay Wolf
I missed that.
Co-host John
Oh my God. It was phenomenal. And Carson Palmer did not look good at all. And I don't know if it's nerves or just he's not used to being in the big games. I don't what of the two, but I think Carolina pulls that one out. Carolina versus New England Super Bowl.
Host John Clay Wolf
Okay.
Co-host John
Pretty good.
Host John Clay Wolf
And that's obviously what's going to happen. Don't you think? Yeah.
Co-host John
Then we'll all become Carolina Panther fans because you don't want the cheaters to win again.
Host John Clay Wolf
And Cam Newton will be a superstar.
Co-host John
Yeah. If he wins a Super bowl, he's that next year.
Host John Clay Wolf
Two or you're three out. I forgot.
Co-host John
Three years.
Host John Clay Wolf
Third season or second?
Co-host John
I believe this is his third.
Host John Clay Wolf
And he's a cheater from way back. Kind of. Well, he's been accused.
Co-host John
It was more just getting money for selling laptops and stuff. You know, he's a college kid.
Host John Clay Wolf
Did you realize last week when we were talking about Johnny Manziel screwing up and doing this and doing that, did you realize at that time, we were in Fort Worth, Texas, our private studios in Fort Worth, Texas, and Johnny Manziel was one mile away from us buying liquor at King's Liquor. It made the front page of the Star Telegram the next morning.
Co-host John
Actually, that evening, I did think about that. I saw that story. I was like, man, I wonder, isn't that creepy?
Host John Clay Wolf
Yeah.
Co-host John
I was like, I wonder if he sensed it. It's like, you know. You know when somebody's talking about you.
Host John Clay Wolf
Johnny Manziel was buying 200 worth of liquor at King's Liquor in Fort Worth, Texas. Why? We were talking about him on the air one block away. One mile away. His dad took a gig in Fort Worth. He's at Honda Fort Worth now. He's real gsm. Manzel's dad is the GSM of Honda Fort Worth. And that's why he was in town grabbing him some.
Co-host John
Well, he's also dating a TCU girl.
Host John Clay Wolf
I mean, he's probably right outside waiting for us in the parking lot to discuss things we said. I mean, I'll fight him. I'm not scared. Are you scared? He's not that big. He can. I can't catch you. Not.
Co-host John
What you scared about him, about his posse, though.
Host John Clay Wolf
The posse? No, I don't want to fight him. 800, 800 radio. Just go to givemetheven.com One quick story I have not shared with you. I don't have time to either. So, two weeks ago, I have an 18 wheeler full of cars all lined up, ready to be loaded. And someone grabbed the wrong car in my group and took them another transporter and took them to Atlanta, Georgia. So I get the call. Hey, none of the cars. The cars are here. But the keys to all the cars that were ready to go were in the truck that accidentally got sent to Atlanta. So I called Eric, the strip club dj for you guys who remember him, he lives in Louisiana. I said, eric, I need you to make an eastbound and down run. I need you to grab this. Grab this truck and run to Atlanta and grab my truck with all the keys and bring it back so these transports get loaded. He did it, dude. In 16 hours, bam. All right, thanks again, strip club, 800, 800 radio. 800, 807 234. Remember, givemetheven.com we'll see you next Saturday. Enjoy your football.

Host John Clay Wolfe [on wild car auction stories]:
“I’ve seen auctions taking briefcases full of cash from these non—you know, the Arab speaking dealers here.” (13:13)
Co-host John [on the Patriots]:
“They’re probably gonna win the freaking Super Bowl again. Because they’re great at cheating.” (21:41)
Host John Clay Wolfe [on Carfax]:
“So does Carfax pay the $10,000? Hell no. See, somebody needs to sue their ass.” (20:39)
The episode remains freewheeling, brash, and openly self-deprecating. Wolfe and his co-host riff honestly—sometimes crassly—about the realities of business, family, and pop culture. The anecdotes are gritty, off-the-cuff, and remain true to the show’s pledge never to let the FCC haul them away.
This hour packs the show’s wide-ranging flavors: from classic rock nostalgia and Hollywood legends’ bad behavior, to rural survival, shady car dealers, outrageous social media drama, and aggressive automotive business tactics. Throw in some bracing NFL playoff bets and a run-in (almost) with Johnny Manziel, and it’s signature John Clay Wolfe radio: unpredictable, a little raucous, always real.
