Episode Overview

This episode of The John Clay Wolfe Show wades through the usual delightful chaos: a heavy theme around the death of Chris Cornell (rock vocalist, frontman of Soundgarden/Audioslave), candid banter about grunge, depression, and rock's troubled artists, car appraisals with a blend of humor, wild radio personalities, and a swirling mixture of fake headlines, sports, and running gags. As always, John and the crew riff on cars, sports, sex, drugs, and rock & roll, blending real talk with radio antics while keeping the FCC just at arm’s length.

Major Themes & Discussions

1. Remembering Chris Cornell & The Legacy of Grunge (00:44–05:09, 17:48–23:21, recurring)

• Chris Cornell’s Impact/The Tragedy of Grunge
  The show opens with a deep dive into the death of Chris Cornell, exploring his influence ("he was the best male vocalist in the business short of Robert Plant" – [20:17]) and the darkness associated with the grunge era. The discussion moves into territory about why so many grunge artists met early deaths, drawing lines to drug use, depression, and the somber tones of the genre.

• Connection to Mental Health and Substance Abuse
  The crew reflects on mental health, suicide, and the inability of even famous, well-loved people (e.g., Robin Williams) to be "saved" simply by their fame or network. The realness of sorrow and addiction comes through, with a repeated refrain that they aren’t making light of depression.

• Notable Quotes:

  • “There’s a reason that most grunge guys don’t last as long as other artists.” – John Clay Wolfe [03:40]
  • “But to hang yourself is just… can’t stick around. I mean, God, I just can't imagine leaving my children and my family” – J.D. Ryan [04:33]
  • “We’re never gonna get away from this kind of crap now. We miss you, man… Best male rock and roll vocalist for the past two decades, three decades.” – John Clay Wolfe [20:15]

• Listener/Caller Feedback:
  Multiple callers reminisce and weigh in on grunge, Chris Cornell, and the visible warning signs in his lyrics and videos.

• Meta-Memo: The show repeatedly plays snippets of Soundgarden and Audioslave, discussing “Pretty Noose” and “Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart” as ominous signals.

---

2. Car Appraisals and Selling Process (10:02–16:06, interspersed throughout)

• Signature bit:
  Listeners call in to have their cars appraised live on air, with John providing on-the-spot offers and sometimes hilarious commentary on car models, caller backgrounds, or the stories attached to the vehicles.

• Radio-Infused Car Commerce:
  Frequent reminders about GiveMeTheVIN.com, recurring offers to beat CarMax, and tongue-in-cheek advice for sellers ("If we don't beat your CarMax offer, we will write you a check for 100 bucks. Well, I say we. It's me. I'll do it." – John Clay Wolfe [15:38])

• Memorable Moments:

  • Caller: “My wife just cannot keep her hands off me. So we got a fork on the way, and I need something bigger.” [10:47]
  • “Why, if she wasn't so horny, you wouldn't be so broke.” – John Clay Wolfe [11:42]

---

3. Fake News, Real News, and Outlandish Headlines (05:49 onward, notably 58:12, 140:41, 147:16)

• J.D. Ryan presents a rotating segment of bizarre or real headlines for the others to guess their authenticity (e.g., gas station nachos causing paralysis, someone defecating on a boss’s desk after winning the lottery, Taco Bell bribery attempts).

  • “Woman arrested for defecating on boss’s desk after winning the lottery. True or Facebook folly?” — J.D. Ryan [141:15]
  • “That one really happened. The guy by the way, the officer did not take the Taco Bell. He did take the guy to jail.” — J.D. Ryan [149:35]

• Audience Participation:
  The hosts quiz each other and listeners, using oddball headlines as a springboard to absurd stories and improvisational humor.

---

4. Top 5 (and Worst) Rock Vocalists of All Time (throughout, notably 48:32–50:16, 89:04–90:42, 91:46–93:16, 94:45–95:58, 131:28–133:06)

• Heated Debate and Running Top 5 List:

  • Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) is a consensus #1 among the hosts.
  • Chris Cornell is passionately defended by John as #2, with much debate.
  • Others: Freddie Mercury, Steve Perry, Ronnie Van Zant, Paul Rodgers, Axl Rose, Bruce Dickinson, Eddie Vedder, and more are discussed and argued over with listeners and guest voices (including comic impressions).

• Worst Vocalists List:
  The crew also gleefully names the worst male rock vocalists—including Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Bob Dylan—playing up their quirks and debating listener suggestions.

• Call-Ins:
  Listeners from all over the U.S. call to share their picks and sometimes roast the hosts’ opinions.

---

5. Car Culture Meets Strip Club Stereotypes (41:42–44:51)

• Humorous Segment:
  The show’s regular, Hannah (a dancer), is quizzed about “stripper cars,” confirming long-standing show jokes about Mustangs, Eclipses, and Corvettes being the rides of choice, with the crew riffing on the “stripper car culture” trope.

---

6. Comedy Sketches & Character Bits (34:23, 96:26, recurring)

• Recurring Characters:
  • Randy the Chipmunk: Offers bizarre, folksy animal stories and lampoons animal cruelty.
  • Son of a Bitch Spot: A mock ad for "the world’s biggest son of a bitch,” full of Texas-bluster and commercial satire.
  • Uncle Waldo: Soap-opera style comedic sketch of an elderly man’s romance.
  • Eddie Vedder & Satan Bits: Parody interviews with “Eddie Vedder” and “Satan,” lampooning grunge deaths and music tropes with surreal radio theater.

---

7. Sports & Pop Culture Updates (32:15, 134:01–137:13)

• NBA & MLB Roundup:
  Intern DJ Prek summarizes the NBA playoffs (Golden State Warriors' dominance, Spurs drama, Cavs/Celtics), MLB standings (Astros and Rangers), and oddities (e.g., Tom Brady’s wife accidentally revealing his concussion).

• Notable Quote:
  "Would you want your wife talking about your business?" – J.D. Ryan [32:57]

---

8. Radio Industry Inside Talk, Riffs, and Closing Podcast Chat (153:53 onward)

• Behind-the-Scenes Radio Business:
  The final segment—recorded as an unofficial, uncensored podcast—dives into the business of radio, advertising, media buys, and broadcasting’s evolving landscape. The crew discusses industry ethics, evolving technology, frustrations with sales managers, declining ad rates, and the future of local radio versus streaming and satellite.

• Memorable Quote:
  “The ethics of that industry are worse than the used car [business].”—John Clay Wolfe [178:09]

Conclusion & Episode Vibe

The episode is a quintessential John Clay Wolfe blend: a raucous, often blue Texas morning show mixing real car sales with unfiltered, radio-friendly (barely) comedy, pop culture banter, tributes to lost rockers, and listener engagement. Whether you’re here for the cars, the gags, or the unique voice of John Clay Wolfe and his crew, you’ll find a rhythm combining sincere discussion, irreverence, wild characters, and the anthems of rock’s past echoing through every segment.

The crew isn't shy about turning even the darkest topics into accessible, sometimes healing humor—and leave off with calls to listeners both to talk to someone if they're struggling and to remember that “if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.” As always, cars are bought, legends are debated, and the morning radio circus rolls on.

---

Listen for:

• The best (and worst) rock vocalists as debated by rowdy radio pros and listeners
• Real, live car appraisals with wit and candor
• Raw debates about mental health, music, and loss
• “Radio theater” with in-joke characters like Satan, Randy the Chipmunk, and Uncle Waldo

[John Clay Wolf]

Foreign.

[Radio Announcer]

From the Wolf Radio studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf Show. Call John toll free. Cheap bastards, 1, 800, 800 radio now. John Clay Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

In my disgrace.

Boiling heat, Summer.

[J.D. Ryan]

And good morning, it's the John Clay wolf show. I'm J.D. ryan. Good morning, J.D. how are you? I'm doing fine, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

I had a great week.

[J.D. Ryan]

How about you, bubba?

[John Clay Wolf]

I just wanted to kick it off that way. Hey, I just, you know, what a sad, sad state of. And you could do better than anybody. Charlie, how influential has Cornell been? Oh, the dead guy in pop music. Is that what this is, Pop? I don't know about pop, but is this Chris?

[Michael]

Oh, he's huge.

[J.D. Ryan]

Cornell.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why do all the bands sound the same? All the grunge bands are like, first of all, grunge is the reason we have antidepressants. Second of all, now they're blaming the antidepressant on his suicide, Adamant he was a tortured soul.

[Michael]

He had drug addiction issues and depression.

[J.D. Ryan]

And I'm not trying to make fun of depression, by the way. I know it's very serious. Chemical depression is the worst. And so we're not making fun of them. But, man, serious. I mean, does a concert on stage in Detroit, first of all, Second of all, Detroit, that's depressing. And then does Detroit. Have you seen pictures? And then he does a song at the end about death, about suicide.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael]

And a lot of his songs have that tinge to it.

[J.D. Ryan]

His last song is he does a cover of Led Zeppelin's In My Time of Dying. Nobody saw Red Flag.

[Michael]

Well, he used a verse from it and did a whole song. No, not the whole song. They did a verse of it and they've done that before, but it was just kind of very eerie. And certain parts of the concert, he also said that, you know, I feel sorry for the next show. Kind of like, what does that mean? You know?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, nobody listens to that. Then nobody goes, well, but he's going to go to his hotel room. Concerning. Has a beautiful wife and two wonderful kids and a wonderful life and very successful. What could possibly go wrong? But that, honestly, that's. Again, not making fun of that kind of depression because. No, but seriously, seriously dark.

[John Clay Wolf]

Beg the question, how influential has this guy been? You know, that's the. He was. He was all up in Pearl Jam and Nirvana.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And all audio slave. A lot of bands that originated in that place. How are they feeling today, all the survivors there?

[J.D. Ryan]

How many?

[Michael]

Well, there's only Eddie Veter is the last one. Dave Grohl Was from that generation was dead. No, he's not dead.

[J.D. Ryan]

Eddie Vedder.

[Michael]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

From Pearl Jam.

[Michael]

He's not dead.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

Very alive.

[J.D. Ryan]

When he was dead.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't let JD Run the Deadpool.

Oh, God.

[J.D. Ryan]

God, I would lose, wouldn't I?

[John Clay Wolf]

He's very alive.

[J.D. Ryan]

Wow.

[Michael]

But no, that Dave Gro came from that generation, too. But that's it. Everybody else, him and Eddie Vedder, that's.

[J.D. Ryan]

How many of them committed suicide? How many of them died of drugs?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, four at least.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm gonna guess none died of old age. No, no. All of them are drugs or suicide.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Could that be a. I don't know, indicator that maybe the music's too dark.

[Michael]

But that's a dark time, you know?

[J.D. Ryan]

But it's. God, the music, it all sounds just like this. Dude.

[John Clay Wolf]

Black Sabbath was dark in 1968, and they're all still alive.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, I guess. Just it's this whole. Don't you. Don't you think most of the grunge music sounds kind of similar?

[John Clay Wolf]

There's a reason that most grunge guys don't last as long as other artists.

[J.D. Ryan]

Pro at 42. And he sang Jailhouse.

[Michael]

Okay. So you think of another generation. A lot of either drug overdose stuff. 60s, late 60s.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, right.

[Michael]

Hendrix, Joplin, all, you know, Jim Morrison. And that was all that kind of same cool thing to do. Was it cool or just the same tinge? They had problems, they had issues. Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

A lot of accidental overdoses.

[J.D. Ryan]

When you get to that level, as we know, the Michael Jackson syndrome, nobody will tell you. No, you know what? If you. If your doctor, you say, I want this Michael Jackson, I want this drug. No, you can't have it. Guess what? You're fired. The next doctor will give it to me.

[John Clay Wolf]

But you look at Hunter Thompson, okay? And the way that he went some years ago, he did. This is exactly what Chris Cornell wanted to do.

[J.D. Ryan]

What, go out?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

You really think.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was obviously premeditated. Seems like. Well, if he did the.

[J.D. Ryan]

If he made little hints at the concert, it was premeditated.

[John Clay Wolf]

But to hang yourself is just. Can't stick around.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, God, it just. I can't imagine leaving my children and my family with that generational scarring, which it is. I mean, it's just his kids. The kids are gonna know, Daddy, but we're smiling.

[John Clay Wolf]

Happy Beach Boy type stadia. You and I will never understand.

[J.D. Ryan]

I. I know that. Oh, I totally get. I understand that I don't understand. I get it. I don't totally get. And those that are Screaming at the radio right now. You don't understand. You're right. We don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[J.D. Ryan]

And I'm sorry. And I'm terribly sorry for anybody whose family deals with this level of depression. Boy, it's a happy short. Good morning Saturday morning, everybody. 8:11 in the city.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but.

No, but if you're thinking about it, you know what?

[J.D. Ryan]

It's the Johnny Beach Show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Talk to somebody that's.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well. And here's a situation where he could reach out, literally, and talk to a thousand people. How about Robin Williams could pick up the phone, literally, and talk to anybody in the world. He could have called Whoopi Goldberg could call Anthony Robbins, who's the happiest dude on the planet. But again, when you get to that level, that's not what you're thinking. You're not thinking, let me call somebody. There was a great article, not that you care, but in the Huffington Post this week about somebody who has that level of chemical depression. God. We need to talk about something happy here. Here's some news. Mom paralyzed after eating gas station nachos. True.

[John Clay Wolf]

Paralyzed.

[J.D. Ryan]

Paralyzed after eating.

[Michael]

Wait, wait, hold on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is this real?

[Michael]

Fake?

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm just gonna give you the headline. Just this one. And I've got a bunch of them today. But. And some of them are real. Some of them are not. So you're gonna give me the old music.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let me get you.

[Michael]

Let me get you set up here.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right? Another headline. Grunge Grunge singer dies real. All right, Here we go. Mom paralyzed after eating gas station nachos. Is this story real or not real?

[John Clay Wolf]

I hope it's not real.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. Michael. Mom paralyzed after eating gas station nachos.

[Michael]

Have you ever eaten the nachos at a gas station before?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, because I'm smart.

[Michael]

They are disgusting.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Michael]

I'm gonna say this is real.

[J.D. Ryan]

Michael would be correct. She got botulism in a Sacramento gas station. 33 year old. Yeah. At the Valley Oak Food and Fuel in Walnut Grove. And she actually. Nine people got sick. This is the only one that ended up with paralyzation from botulism.

[Michael]

I've made the mistake eating gas station food before. Didn't leave that toilet for a day. It was bad.

[J.D. Ryan]

So be careful what you eat, kids. It's just not good.

[John Clay Wolf]

You have to brace it with something, though.

[J.D. Ryan]

Brace? With botulism, you can't brace it with anything.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't.

You don't know that, man. Listen, there's.

There's.

There's a little thing, and you. You may or may not be Aware. It's called Mad Dog 2020.

Oh, God.

Buy yourself something a little. A little more fortified.

[J.D. Ryan]

That will kill anything.

[John Clay Wolf]

Or get the orange juice, the country style orange juice with the pulp left in.

[J.D. Ryan]

What was that purple drink they used to sell?

[John Clay Wolf]

Need that filtration.

[Michael]

Purple drink?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. Remember? It's like it came in a big 2 liter bottle like this. It was purple and it had like, Everclear in it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Remember?

[J.D. Ryan]

You don't remember this?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, Purple Passion.

[Michael]

That's it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You bet.

[J.D. Ryan]

And I drank a bottle of that one time in Austin. Was I sick?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, did it make you sick?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, you. It's ever clear.

[John Clay Wolf]

You got to drink it smart.

[J.D. Ryan]

Like, how do you drink Everclear smart, by the way?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it's very difficult. It's hard to describe.

[J.D. Ryan]

Drinking tips with Bobbo.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, you don't. You don't drink it like you would a. A white zinfandel. Like a hearty gulping wine.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's my problem. I drank it like a white zin.

[John Clay Wolf]

You want to ice it down?

[J.D. Ryan]

Ice it down. Okay, here's the key.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you want to eat Fritos? Yeah. Soak that ever clear up, dude. Soak it up.

[J.D. Ryan]

How about you don't drink it?

[John Clay Wolf]

What fun is that?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, you got a point. We were rafting down the Guadalupe in Austin, man. I was sick. It was awful. Plus, you know, you don't want to be the guy who's puking in the river, cuz every. Nobody wants to be. Nobody wants to be near you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Purple Passion back in the day was a buffet thing, right? You get a. Was it like a. Yeah, a jug of cheap Gilby's gin and about a gallon of Welch's grape juice. Make Purple Passions. It's the kind of drink where the girl says really can't taste the alcohol. And that's the plan, baby.

[J.D. Ryan]

Do they still sell it?

[John Clay Wolf]

What you don't drink, we're gonna pour on you.

[J.D. Ryan]

Seriously, they still sell it. Purplepassion.com. maybe I shouldn't be announcing that. Time to rewind. Drink your 20 wine or older. Oh, they still sell it.

[Michael]

I think that's the first drink that you try that, you know, young eating.

[J.D. Ryan]

Were selling it in a big 2 liter bottle like this Coke I've got here. They were selling in that size bottle, so it looks like it could be something friendly for the kids.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, and it tastes like grape Kool Aid.

[J.D. Ryan]

It does.

[John Clay Wolf]

It really do.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hang on. Oh, I know this song. Wait, wait for the chorus. It's not funny. It's just very. What's the word? When it's pro.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Forward.

[John Clay Wolf]

Prolific, pre thought, pre written, Predestined.

Nostradamus was a. Oh, prophetic.

[Michael]

Prophetic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Listen, I don't like what you got me hanging from is what he's saying. Isn't that weird that he wrote this song and he made all his money talking about you? I don't like what you got me hanging from. And then he went and did it to himself with a pretty noose. Very odd. Yes, very odd.

[J.D. Ryan]

Your Facebook page this week.

[John Clay Wolf]

What?

[J.D. Ryan]

Talking about hanging from a pretty noose.

[John Clay Wolf]

Designer News.

I said it was designer. It was pretty. Hey.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, within hours of the guy dying. Yes, it was a day.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's the name of the song, though. J.

D, literally. It's the Pretty Noose is the name of this song. And it is written and sung by Chris Cornell in Soundgarden, I think. Was this audio slave or Soundgarden?

[Michael]

Soundgarden.

[John Clay Wolf]

I forget the operating phrase here is too soon.

[J.D. Ryan]

Way day of too soon.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it too early to tell Elton John jokes?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, I think it's fine.

[John Clay Wolf]

But you got them kind of nuts, baby.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, what do you mean? Elton John's alive Always. You're predicting God.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's wrong with you don't know what you're. This is crazy. This one in the Heaven song, was.

[J.D. Ryan]

It say hello to Heaven, saying, you know, he did. They say he did a cover. Michael said he just did a line from the Led Zeppelin song In My Time of Dying in his Detroit concert right before he went and did it.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a good song. That's one of my favorite songs. Pretty new. Hang on just a second. Pretty Noose and In My Time of Dying. And we're all shocked the guy's dead. That does not change my feeling towards the. This is literally one of my favorite songs. This is one. I was jamming to this song the. The afternoon before he died.

[J.D. Ryan]

You're just hanging around.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I mean, I just had it on my part.

So you can just forget Hotel California or Yellow Submarine or get. It's this one. This is. This is it.

I really like this.

Really?

Yeah. This is my get ready for the radio.

I'm worried about you.

This is my get ready for the radio show song. This is my jam. Pre show. Jam.

[J.D. Ryan]

Pre show coach.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm very, very worried about you, man.

Turn it up, Charlie. We're. I mean, this is good stuff. I mean, all the country stations that are syndicating us, they're appreciating this. And Chris Cornell, we finally figured it out.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's been telling us for years, boy.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'Re never gonna get away from this kind of crap now.

We miss you, man. It's already. It's too bad. You were the best male vocalist in the business short of Robert Plant, period. End of story. Best male rock and roll vocalist for the past two decades. Three decades. Yep. Rob. I mean, Bob. Why are you looking at me like. Really? I mean, really? Yeah.

Somebody throw him a Bowie. You're going way overboard.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's got a best male vocalist.

[Michael]

One of the. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

4. 4 octave range. He's like Mariah Carey on dope. And. And he's good. Yeah. I said he. Second to Robert Plant. In my opinion, he is the best male rock and roll vocalist vocalist ever.

So forget John Lennon and Jim Morrison and vocalist.

I'm trying to rock and roll, not.

Not Ozzy. Damn Osborne and all those guys.

This guy's way better than Ozzy.

[Michael]

Ozzy, Come on.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, this guy is okay. What about Robert Plant? What do you think about Robert Plant? You think he can make it in the business?

Yeah, I think he's. I think he's all right. I think. I think it takes 30 mercury.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, I can come up with.

[John Clay Wolf]

Freddie Mercury's pretty damn he's. But Chris Cornell, his range was so heavy. Let's put him on hold. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Kelly, good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller]

Hey, good morning, John. I told my super to you. I've talked to you a couple times. I'm an Alvin secretary. Yeah, I agree with you completely. And I started. I'm a huge fan of Chris Cornell. I started watching videos after all of this happened again. His most recent video, Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart. Have you seen it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's all, it's all like pre written.

[J.D. Ryan]

What was it was that? We haven't seen the video. I haven't. What about it?

[Caller]

You got to Google it right now. I mean seriously.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, there are people in their cars that can't google it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Tell us, tell the listeners.

[Caller]

Well, it's. I mean, basically Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart refers back to his depression. And during the video they're showing the hanging of someone himself. I mean right?

[John Clay Wolf]

And then, and then. And one of his big biggest hits is pretty news. I don't know what you got me hanging from. I mean, yeah, there's a little bit more thought. I, I don't know if this was as surprising as everybody's taken to death. Maybe it just took so long, I don't know. But I'm a big fan and thanks for calling, Kelly. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Call in and give me year, make, model and miles. And actually during the breaks too. I'll bid your cars we can talk off air if you don't want to talk on air.

That was a great track. Forgot My Broken Heart. I love that how it opens with a mandolin. You know, he made quantum leaps in, in the form of instrumentation in that kind of music for sure, you know.

[J.D. Ryan]

So even though he's been. You got a break. Even though he's been doing this for a while, talking about this for a while, singing, doing videos about it, he's still on something called Ativan, which has known side effects to increase suicidal thoughts. And his wife already came out and is blaming it on Ativan, blaming it on the pill.

[John Clay Wolf]

Charlie, when we return from this quick commercial interlude, could we return with a son of a bitch spot? Those always put me in a good mind. All right. My name is John Claywolf and I.

[Michael]

Yeah, that's huge.

[John Clay Wolf]

Would you want your wife talking about your business?

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, but how did you know he had a concussion?

[Michael]

It.

[J.D. Ryan]

Wouldn't it be the doctor's responsibility to.

Tell the fa because he hit it and one of the Patriots hit it and that's a problem.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, okay.

[J.D. Ryan]

So they probably knew.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yes. She should go be Trump's spokesperson. That's what he needs about what he needs, somebody who thinks the Russians is this rocket to Russia by Donald Trump and Joey Ramon.

I mean, he has concussions pretty much. I mean, we don't talk about. But he does have concussions. And I don't really think it's a healthy thing for your body to go to, like a. You know, through that kind of aggression, like, all the time. And that could not be healthy for you. Right. And I'm planning on having him be healthy and do a lot of fun things when we're like, 100, I hope.

[Michael]

I mean, that's just gotta be terrible.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, that's gonna be.

Telling him I'm gay.

For his sweetheart's birthday, he bought her a razor and a diagram of the secondary commuter landing strip at Love Field. He is the world's biggest son of a. Hey, man, I don't always drink beer, but when I do make mine a natty light.

Well, I'm trying to sell it to build. Build a. What's called a medisafe.

[Satan]

We're.

[Caller]

We're trying to save some Lives. Basically it's a pill dispenser that dispenses your opiates. Dr. Prescribed opiates on time. It's going to be Tampa proof. Going to have a cell phone in it. We're just trying to say it's like.

[John Clay Wolf]

A deer feeder for. It's like a deer feeder for. Like a deer feeder.

[Caller]

Yeah, kind of like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like a deer feeder with a timer on it. For acid freaks.

[Caller]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, opiate freaks because we. It's an epidemic right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bobbo is over here melting while you're talking. You're. He's not liking your new.

[J.D. Ryan]

Somebody that wants to overdose and overuse is just not going to use the product.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, he's just saying he's got. He's got an alternative.

[Caller]

We're targeting the legal system with it. Just like you have to blow in a breathalyzer.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh.

[Caller]

We're going to do the same thing with this. We're going to target the legal system. Any kind of a drug related charge or anything like that you have, you'll be required to have a medi safe.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, gotcha.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's an interesting.

[John Clay Wolf]

Make some money. You're trying to make some money while you're trying to save some lives by the way. But it's all good.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Is it a four wheel drive truck?

[Caller]

It is. It's four wheel drive. It's got a 12 inch lift kit on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I need. I need to see pictures of that one 12 inch lift kit. I'll listen. So even if it's got those miles, go to givemetheven.com and load it up and send me some pictures. I mean.

[Caller]

Okay. You got it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. 12 inch lift kit. I mean my God. It doesn't even matter what it is. It's a whole. You've converted this thing. 800-800-723404 Z71 Suburban with 180 on it. Big miles, Andy. It's a couple. It's a couple grand.

[Caller]

Couple grand is what that. That's what they're worth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. With that many miles.

Okay, like.

[Satan]

Like what.

[Caller]

When you say couple are we saying 2k tops? What if is. What's dollar on that?

[John Clay Wolf]

That is 2 to 25 is really what I've been. I see these sell often because they get traded in all the time. It all depends on how nice it is. On a scale of one to ten, how nice is it?

[Caller]

I'd say it's an eight. Seriously?

[John Clay Wolf]

Then I may. You know. Two to three grand.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller]

That's fair.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go to go to the website, load it up, take me a picture of the driver's seat. I mean, back off that drive. That driver's seat tells me a lot. You know?

You know what?

[Caller]

And we've had them. And we've had both front seats reupholstered.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

And.

[Caller]

And because you're right, because that. That leather on those or whatever, that material was from the factory. Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

It just tells me if you've got a big fat wife. And if you do, then, I mean, I'm kind of hot for the big girls, so that's why I'll pay a little more and she'll bring it to me.

[Caller]

Yeah, she's not a big girl, then.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's more like 22, 23. If she's a big girl, she's a big girl, and she'll bring it to me. I'll pay up, bring it on. But that driver's seat will show me. Yeah, because it's all beat the hell down. BBW Suburban4x4s dot com. What's so funny, Baba?

Let me know if she's moving in stereo.

Oh, we, we, we. We have. What was that guy's name? Buffalo Bill that liked the big girls he was making. He was making beds and robes, and he was an odd duck. JD what's the topic of the top 10 at 10 today?

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, United Airlines, hard to believe, are back in the news and they're in trouble again. So we'll do the top 10 new slogan lines they've come up with to try to, you know, make their image better things. No, no, no, not that. Oh, that was funny, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

That was the best gig ever when they got to the news crew and made the name.

[J.D. Ryan]

This was the San Francisco flight that crashed short of the Runway. Not a. Not a funny thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bing, ding, out.

[J.D. Ryan]

But there's some intern at the local TV station.

[John Clay Wolf]

Row.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. Bing, bing, bong hour. Whatever.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was something long.

I'm sorry.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, no, it's okay. I was trying to pull it up, actually.

[John Clay Wolf]

It writes a good top 10 at 10, or else it gets the hose again.

[J.D. Ryan]

What was the airline. Because I'll pull that up. Oh, Asian Asia.

[Michael]

Yeah, that's right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Randy the Chipmunk. And then Hannah. Hannah's right here. Hannah, you old dirty. What are you doing?

[J.D. Ryan]

Hold on, I got the names.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you mean? Well, you just smell like stripper. You look like stripper. You've got. Remember that scene in Something about Mary where her hand was. Where her hair was standing up? Oh, my God. Right? You look dirty. You look Rough, baby. Just because I can be dirty doesn't make me dirty. Have you been out all night? Yeah, I'm a D. Why are you still up? And why do you come here on Saturday mornings? Why you go to bed? What? What did you think about the guy with the opioid container? I don't like him. Do you know that opioid is. Is. Yeah. What? That's one of those robots on Star Wars.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, no, no, that's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, these aren't the opioids you're looking for.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, that's not it. That's droids, I guess you can go about your way.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they said you go about your way.

[J.D. Ryan]

How do you make it through day the week? How do you do?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, but I've got an appointment.

[J.D. Ryan]

For what?

[John Clay Wolf]

At the Imart Express. I have to get a new left contact.

[J.D. Ryan]

A. Just a left contact?

[Michael]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

Me and Jessica were doing a double.

[J.D. Ryan]

A double. A double?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. And she slapped me in my left eye with her. With her right bib.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, and you lost one contact?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I couldn't find it anywhere. Of course it's dark.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Even with the black light, I couldn't find it.

[J.D. Ryan]

You think?

[John Clay Wolf]

Was it. That's why my eyes are blue. See?

[J.D. Ryan]

I see. Yeah, I see that. God, it's so hard to see your eyes.

[John Clay Wolf]

That cost $320.

[Satan]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

I forgot. I near left contact, but they won't. Just sell me a left one.

[J.D. Ryan]

Son of a. Gotta get both the.

[John Clay Wolf]

At the strip club, the drinks that you get your people to order you. Are they real? Yeah, I mean, I know they're real. Are they alcoholic? There's no alcohol in the girl drinks. Everybody knows that.

[J.D. Ryan]

Really?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So why are they $20 when they go and say, I want a screwdriver for henna?

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

That is orange juice and 7Up.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why so.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because I'm at work. Get drink on the job.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Believe me, alcohol doesn't make me any more easy than regular.

[J.D. Ryan]

I got you.

[John Clay Wolf]

We don't need it. I can be easy. What do you drive, Hannah? You know, we. We do talk about cars and we've always made gigs about the top 10 top 5 stripper cars. Why drive a Mustang? You've seen my car.

[Michael]

That's on the list, I believe.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right? I took you to the Valley View Mall in my car last year. You remember? I don't.

[J.D. Ryan]

What?

[John Clay Wolf]

And we went to Spencer's and. Not toys. I don't remember going to the mall with you. Hannah. And your drinking game. That was J.D. we were playing a drinking Game. So what other cars have you had? Well, last year I bought my Mustang. If it's before that I had a Mustang.

[J.D. Ryan]

Nice. You changed up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. What about the way before that? Before that? Yeah, I had a Corvette. Yeah?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cuz my daddy died.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm so sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

He gave me his Corvette.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm so sorry. You sold it? I guess.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait, did he die? I forgot to put on my contacts. Did he. Did he die and leave it to to you or did you buy the Corvette with the money? I don't know. Maybe he just never coming home. But I went to his house and he was gone. So I took the Corvette and I.

Never heard anything from him.

And I got a big check in the mail. Yeah. And they said he was dying. He gave me money and a car. I'm sorry about losing your father. Did you keep stripping after you had all that money? That's when I started. Oh. Because I figured well what the hell, have a good time.

[J.D. Ryan]

Now that your dad's pass, there's no one to embarrass.

[John Clay Wolf]

I bought a pet snake.

[J.D. Ryan]

Of course you.

[John Clay Wolf]

What other kind of cars do your to your dancer friends drive? They all drive Mustangs.

[Caller]

Is that behind?

[John Clay Wolf]

No. It's just so true. Yeah. And they're all like. I have, out of three friends, I have two yellow Mustang friends and one red Mustang friend.

[J.D. Ryan]

What's the other one? The Mitsubishi Eclipse.

[John Clay Wolf]

Eclipse. But they quit making them. So it's got a Mustangs.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's the Mustang.

[John Clay Wolf]

And Eclipse now is kind of a stripper starter car.

[Michael]

It's hard.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's hard to dance in an Eclipse.

[J.D. Ryan]

I bet it really is. It's hard to dance in a Corvette as well.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cuz there's no place to put your long luscious legs.

[Satan]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

John. Good morning. 13 Silverados. Hannah, thanks for joining us. Darling. You do look good. I was just kidding you.

[Caller]

Hey there.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey. Hey.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, she's got it down, doesn't she John?

Fuming here, getting me all bothered.

[Caller]

Sorry.

[John Clay Wolf]

She's got it down. I mean every word is just exactly. It's like it's scripted. 13 Silverado LT, Texas Edition. It's cloth with two wheel drive. What color?

[Caller]

It's Graystone.

[John Clay Wolf]

Silver gray. 20 inch wheels. If it's Texas Edition. Two wheel drive. Average. Average. Rough or clean?

[Caller]

I'd say it's clean. It's got one little spot on a fender where it took a shopping cart.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does 15 grand buy it?

[Caller]

Sorry?

[John Clay Wolf]

Does 15 grand buy it?

[Caller]

15?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Looking to get like at least 18.

[John Clay Wolf]

With 87 and then no leather. I know it won't do that in a two wheel drive, but it may give more than 15. Can you go to my website and load it up so I can take a look and pull the VIN number?

[Caller]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cool. Yeah, I'll buy it. Where are you calling us from?

[Caller]

Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

Houston.

Good morning. Houston. Can't ever trust a guy from Houston. Houston means I'm one day closer to you.

[J.D. Ryan]

Here we go. All the songs.

[John Clay Wolf]

What else is there?

I've got a Houston solution in my.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't think that's it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You don't remember that? Dude, I think it's awesome, man.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't believe that's the song.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it is. I've got a Houston solutions country. Absolutely. It's wonderful. Afro Astros, wonderful. Good job. Rangers came back in a freaking row and got caught up to the Astros for second place. Not caught up for real, but like in our division. But this unbelievable. I mean, it was looking so bad, I thought it was too far gone.

Six more days on the highway. I'm gonna get this rig off road. Meet my baby darling at the Astrodome. We gonna have a high time.

John, good morning. You're on the air. That come from John, good morning. Hey, is your. Is your Pre Runner a four wheel driver too?

[Caller]

It's a two wheel, two wheel drive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Average rough or clean?

[Caller]

I'd say it's average.

[John Clay Wolf]

This just in. Wait, turn it up. Eddie Vedder has passed away. Okay. 04 Tacoma, pre runner.

Don't do that, dude.

Well, all the rest of them died.

[Michael]

He's the last one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is he the last one growl still?

[Michael]

Well, girl, he wasn't the frontman back then.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on, let me bid. This dude's Pre Runner. Guys, Eddie Vedder's death is not as important. He's not dead. Is this thing more than four grand?

[Caller]

I'd say yeah, four will buy it. I was looking closer to the 6 range, but I was just curious.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you want to sell it? Are you what we call a stroke?

[Caller]

I was just looking.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have Billy Billy Squire on your itunes?

[Caller]

No, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Because he has this song called the Stroke. We play it for people that are wanting to stroke us. But I want to buy it. Do you want to sell it?

[Caller]

Yeah, I'm looking.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm looking. Well, you're looking. You're here. You got a guy here with a check that I. I can buy cars. I buy a lot of them. If you want to sell it, do this. Go to givemetheven.com, load it up, say I'll take six grand. Or I'll take five grand or whatever it is you'll take. I'll sell it right effing now. And I'm not a stroke. And I'm not. I'm not related to Billy Squire. Give it to me. 800. 800.

So I guess he's the number three best pop vocalist ever.

Who? Billy Squad.

[Satan]

Squire.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's pop dude.

[J.D. Ryan]

Ridiculous.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, hang on, Bob. So the fact that Chris Cornell came from the grunge era makes it where he doesn't qualify for rock and roll qualifies.

But number two out of all rock and roll vocalists ever, Robert Plant and then Chris Cornell.

Really? Who's your number one?

Who's my number one? Probably. Probably somebody like Don Henley.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, God.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, rock and roll did. I'm talking vocalist, not singer.

Do you never heard Laughing. The fast lane of the disco strangler, man. Don Henley can sing rock and roll, man.

I know he's good, obviously. But the best of these guys are.

All whacked out on smack and want to get down and feel bad. And the volcano is going to kill us all. Getty Lee, Black O, son.

Getty Lee's not even that good a singer. Oh, my God.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's badass, though. Getty Lee, of course.

Neil Peart.

John Anderson from. Yeah.

Chris Cornell is to vocalist what Neil Peart is to drumming.

He's outstanding.

He's better than.

In every regard. Would I rate him number two of all time? I don't know. I don't think so.

Who's number one?

Robert Plant's.

I said Robert.

Pretty damn close.

But that crazy range in those highs and lows and ability. Cornell has that too.

[J.D. Ryan]

Had. Had.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm just a happy guy, man. Like, give me Brian Wilson.

Okay, that's not rock and roll. Bobbo, I know that you're spinning the oldies during the weekday, but you're getting all screwed. It was rock and roll in the 60s. You're right. But we're not there anymore. We're not there.

What do you mean we?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, he's still there.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, no.

Like, you're. Okay. Okay. Like. Okay. So you three guys are over there.

[J.D. Ryan]

We.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'm over here. Is that me?

Yes. You're still calling oldies rock and roll.

He's rock and roll.

No, man.

If you listen to Steppenwolf dude or.

Cream, that's rock and roll.

That's rock and roll.

But Bill Haley in the comments. And 1, 2, 3 o', clock, 4 o'. Clock. Rock is not rock and roll.

I had this conversation Years ago with my friend Vaughn. And he said, bob, there's a difference between rock and roll and just rock. And he's right. He's right. Bill Haley is rock and roll. Soundgarden is rock.

Okay, rock, why don't you take us out? Big rock fmdj, it's time to go.

We're figuring out who the best vocalist in rock music is after this on the John Claywolf show, brought to you by givemethevin.com.

[Radio Announcer]

Now back to the John Clay Wolf show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Joel, you think the greatest rock comment rock voice vocalist is who it be?

[Caller]

John Cassidy from the Beaver Brown band.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, are you serious?

Joel, do you smoke grass and drink a lot?

[Caller]

I'm a drinker.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where do you live?

[Caller]

She walks like a dream down here in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

[John Clay Wolf]

I knew it'd be a. I knew the Northeastern. Chris. A 14 tradesman. Four wheel drive is gas. It's mid 20s. I need to look at it though. Can you go to the website in and give me the VIN? Yeah, give me, give me the VIN.com. thanks Kristen. A 16xlt, 12,000 mile. I only got a minute right now on this segment so I can't ask all the questions. Can you go to give me the vin.com and put it in there for me?

[Caller]

Yeah, I did that already.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Oh good.

[John Clay Wolf]

What'd we hit you at? What did the system say? Did it give you the automated response?

Giving me.

[Caller]

Yeah, it's giving me a price which is good. But see, I took it to a Carmax dealer first because I didn't know about this and Carmax wouldn't even touch it because they said a red flag came up when they ran the auto check that says that the vehicle originates from Canada and never been Properly imported.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so what. What, What? That. And we would have gotten to that too. We would have found it. So it's a. It's a Canadian import. I'll still buy it though, right? But I. I can't give the American money.

[Caller]

But is there a liability issue?

[John Clay Wolf]

Nah, it's all bs. No, no. Those guys are just being robots. And that's fine. We'll buy it.

[Michael]

We'll buy it.

[John Clay Wolf]

800. 800. Christian, just go back to. We'll. I'll work on it after the. After the show. The guys. That. That's one that would make it to my desk and say, hey, where do we do. What do we do with this Canadian import deal? It's about 10%. 15% difference. Is what figure? 15%. You know, that's a long story. We'll be back in a minute.

You know, it just ain't Saturday without the Wolfman on the radio. There's more of the John Clay Wolf show coming up, powered by givemethebin.com before.

[J.D. Ryan]

What dispensary?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, my God. It's a Mini Cooper. Stacy, I hate Mini Coopers. But I love you. They break. They're scary. Have. Has yours broken on you yet?

[Caller]

I think he's around 20. It's my father.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh.

[Caller]

But he really wants to sell it. Like he really needs to sell it. He wants something bigger.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, do this. Go to givemetheven.com and load it up. I want to look at this one off here. I got to be careful with these damn Coopers. I wind up getting killed on them all the time. Is it the four door or the two door?

[Caller]

It's the four door. It's a really nice little car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, cool. Stacy from Houston, go to givemetheven.com Randy. A 13F150 Platinum 4 Wheel Drive with 53. It's a 13. Does it have a net? Does it have sunroof?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where are you calling from?

[Caller]

Baton Rouge.

[John Clay Wolf]

What station you listen to us on?

[Caller]

98.1.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Eagle.

[J.D. Ryan]

Eagle.

[Caller]

98 point.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Eagle.

98.1. Home of LSU football and formerly Walton and Johnson. Yeah, we came back to replace them. We were sitting.

[Caller]

Yeah, that's right.

[Satan]

Well, that's good.

[John Clay Wolf]

We were sent from the heavens.

[Caller]

I just found y'.

[Satan]

All.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good, good, good, good, good. We've got a F154, four wheel drive, platinum leather roof, nav, black crew cab. Hang on. I want to look something up before I make it. Have you gotten any other opinions yet from anybody else?

[Caller]

No, I just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller]

Just called y' all today.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's 20. 20, 20, 20, 20, 20,. 26,000.

[Caller]

I was thinking more 28, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, does 28 buy it? I wiggle. I'll negotiate. It all depends. When I say 26, I'm thinking of a normal one, but when I see pictures of them and then I can look at the Carfax, and then I'm like, wait a minute. This car is a little better looking than most of them, and I'll give more. I just hate giving a big number on the air and then having to pull backwards. You can always.

[Caller]

I can load it up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Please do. You know, I mean, I'm. I'm not trying to jack with you guys, but it's just so much easier to go up than it is to say, oh, 28. And they'll look at the pictures. No, I'm 26. So then you, like, start cussing me and you get online and say, john Wolf's a sorry bastard and he's a liar. He told me 28. So I. I just like to bid them where I feel good, and then if they're nicer than I give more. Does that make sense?

Through the granddaddy roll liars.

We have great reviews. If you look at our better business reviews or they look like we wrote them all. I mean, they're so perfect. People are like, this is amazing. I can't believe I didn't think it'd.

[J.D. Ryan]

Be real a while to get the process down. You've been doing this a while?

[John Clay Wolf]

We've been doing it, you know, a while. Uncle Waldo's coming up at 10:30 today. I think it was a crowd pleaser last week. We brought back Stevenson Pruitt character from a gazillion years ago and did a whirl with it last week and had fun with it. I think we're going to keep doing it. Until somebody tells us it sucks or tells us to stop.

[J.D. Ryan]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

How about that? That's a plan. How about. Sounds like a. Here, hold my beer. And we're going to do uncle Waldo at 10:30. Black, white, Latino or other.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, actually, we have fake headlines. I don't really have any black, white, Latino or others, but we do have fake headlines this week. Here you go. New headline. I'm going to read the story. I'm not going to do three because it's too obvious, but I'm going just read a headline. You tell me, is this real or is this not real? You know how polite they are in Canada, right? Right. Okay. Well, a new bill in Canada makes it illegal now to applaud after a plane has landed at its destination. Dubbed the Just stop it act.

[John Clay Wolf]

Huh?

[J.D. Ryan]

Air Canada. Air Canada CEO George Levine says you just can't. Can't do that. It's disruptive to our passengers. I'm saying new bill in Canada. You're saying fake, Michael.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's real, but I think it's so stupid I've got to call fake on it.

[Michael]

Canadians are weird.

[J.D. Ryan]

New bill in Canadian makes it illegal to applaud after a plane has landed. Bamo's correct. That one's fake. How about this one? Toby Keith to perform at a men's only concert in Saudi Arabia during Trump's visit. Toby Keith is going to perform at a men's only concert?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it can't be men's only because.

[J.D. Ryan]

It'S a men's only. That's the headline. True or not?

[Michael]

Well, he's gay, so yeah, it works.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh.

[J.D. Ryan]

American country singer Toby Keith, known for songs like Made in America and Whiskey Girl. Is he going to actually sing for a men's only concert in Salt?

[John Clay Wolf]

I could see him singing for the troops, but there are female troops, so no.

But in that culture, though, that, you know, that's just the kind of thing.

Bob's got a point. And if they paid him enough, none.

Of our women will go to a concert and show themselves to be whores.

What's the answer?

[J.D. Ryan]

John's going to say true. That one's real. Yeah, he's actually going to. Walt Trump is there. He's going to be in concert.

[John Clay Wolf]

He sold out. He sold. This is like when Beyonce played for Momoa Gaddafi and, like, missiles were going off instead of fireworks.

Hey, and sexism ain't nothing but fascism. Misspelled. Okay, we'll be right back.

My name is John Clay Wolf and I buy cars on the radio. You can give us a call. 800, 800 radio. Oh, 04, SBT Cobra. I'm going to take that one off the air during the break.

You know, it just ain't Saturday without the Wolfman on the radio. There's more of the John Playwolf show coming up, powered by givemethevin.com.

[Radio Announcer]

The John Clay Wolf Show. Phone bill is currently paid, so call at 800-800-RADIO. At 800-800 RADIO. That's 800-800-7234 or online at givemethethin.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

Spoon man, this was not my favorite. I didn't hate it. I. I didn't get into Chris Cornell.

It sounds more like the kind of song that, like, Axl Rose could really get to something out of this one. Yeah, he's. He's one of the great rock vocalists, I think.

[Michael]

Oh, boy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Top five, maybe.

Look, I said earlier that Cornell's the second strongest male rock and roll rock. Let's call it rock, not rock and roll.

He's more like probably 22.

Is he that Chris Cornell is the second best rock male vocalist next to Robert Plant on Earth or was and Baba disagrees. So you think Axel Rose is.

Yeah. Or Ian Gillen, Deep Purple, Axl Rose.

[Michael]

In the green room right now.

[J.D. Ryan]

In fact, Steven Tyler, he's got range.

[John Clay Wolf]

But not like Cornell. In control like Cornell.

Steven Tyler is a good one.

JD that is pretty good. Nicholas, do you agree or disagree or do you have any opinion of what we're talking about? Audi. Nicholas with the Audi.

[Caller]

Oh, about Chris Cornell.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller]

I agree that he was one of my favorite. Especially, I mean, I grew up more with Audio Slave than Soundgarden, but he was like one of my favorites. Like Micah Stone is one of my favorite.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you think that I'm out of. Do you think I'm off? I've lost my mind when I say he's the sec next to Robert Plant being number one, that Chris Cornell is the number two best rock male vocalist ever to live.

[Caller]

I agree with you. And I gotta see, at my tender age of 29, Robert Plant played live here in Oklahoma City with the Strange Sensation. And. And at his age, he still got it. So I mean, I totally agree with you.

[John Clay Wolf]

How long ago was that concert?

[Caller]

I believe it may have been in 2006.

[John Clay Wolf]

And did he play any Zeppelin hits?

[Caller]

Yeah, he played some Zeppelin hit. And then this was before the album with Alison Krause and him came out.

[John Clay Wolf]

He was with Allison Krause brings out her banjo and plays Led Zeppelin. Everybody smoke a big fatty oh, don't be a Bogart. No, give me some. We're getting ready to jam out. Hey. A12 Audi A8. It's a L. Is it a all wheel drive?

[Caller]

It is all wheel drive. It has every option it can have. That took me about a week to turn off the night vision.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now, is it a V12 or V8?

[Caller]

It's a V8.

[John Clay Wolf]

What color is it?

[Caller]

I emailed pictures.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. What did the. What did this. What did the system automatic automatically hit you at?

[Caller]

It didn't tell me. I'm on my phone and I didn't have the bin number right in front of me and it's in the shop having a plastic like the, the, the brawl installed.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. It's with 60. With 62, 000 miles off the cuff, I'm thinking 25 to 23 to 25 grand. I need to see the pictures.

[Satan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

[Caller]

Very.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, sir. From Oklahoma City. Yes, Uncle Waldo will be in at 10:30 today. Bob.

[J.D. Ryan]

Bob.

[Michael]

Mob. Floyd.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bob. Floyd is here in the studio with his news update. Good morning, Bob.

What do you say, John?

Not much. How are you?

I think it's gonna be a great week. Yeah, if you're paying attention. Fresh into info. What? Fresh into what us dealers call the post grad boom. This year's it's a double up for the prepared entrepreneur. Because not only are all of the new college graduates awash in gift dollars for mom and dad and grandma and Aunt May meet as of this week, they're invariably crushed at the loss of another grunge rock icon after the death of Chris Cornell. Now this is where we go all business for the sake of the bottom line. Because when a prominent entertainer dies, there's a documented tendency for all regular smokers to stock up on quality grass. So naturally, when the clientele's mood is down, the price goes up. That's simple economics. At the deaths of Prince and George Michael and David Bowie all prove that when their rock and roll heroes die unexpectedly, most fans under the age of 35 are going to medicate their depression proportionately. So even locally procured, finely crafted hydro that you can pick up for around 290 per ounce will yield $30 a gram. And that's a total markup of 280% for a total haul per ounce of $840. Now keep in mind that same ounce will cost you $400 in Dallas. So do the work, learn a little espanol and don't miss the Mercado Air libre. That's Mexican flea Market to you and me. The window tint guy will fix you up. And for the next little while, let's avoid unloading any coke, smack or Ativan. Stuff just ain't safe for the grunge crowd till Labor Day.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And there's your cue on which dimes to drop. Do yourself a favor and have a heart. And you shall wax most profitable. There's our dope report. I'm Bob Floyd. You keep token, Bobby.

So Bob, whenever the rest of the country goes full mainstream cannabis, which Wall street is already, there's already pot stocks being traded.

[J.D. Ryan]

Is it really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[J.D. Ryan]

Companies that are doing it in Colorado.

[John Clay Wolf]

Say, well, they're calling it research and they're getting ready for this and that.

If you watch the regular stock market, Wendy's is up 14% over their new double bacon cheeseburger.

I could see Bob Fl Floyd doing this on cnbc. I mean if it's going to be legal, absolutely. Who's a better guy to report the news on the cannabis culture and the current marketability than our own Bob Floyd?

So ironic. Roger Ailes wanted me for Fox News, but I couldn't pass the drug test.

[J.D. Ryan]

Like there is one Hayden, an 08.

[John Clay Wolf]

Chevy diesel, four wheel drive with 90. It's leather. Is it a dually?

[Caller]

It is not a dually but it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is an extended cab, not a crew cab is what I'm reading. Is that correct?

[Caller]

That's correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a hard one to hit. That's a, that, that's a difficult. It's a three quarter ton long bed, four wheel drive. 08.

[Caller]

It's a, it's a, it's a one ton, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a diesel?

[Caller]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have a title to it or is there a payoff?

[Caller]

No, I'm still paying on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna wing it just off my butt and say 17 grand.

[Caller]

17 grand.

[John Clay Wolf]

What does that sound like?

[Caller]

Doesn't sound very good to me.

[John Clay Wolf]

What it, what's your payoff?

[Caller]

I'd say my payoff's probably 10.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so at least, I mean you're not making that decision from a distressed negative equity point of view. What's it take to buy it?

[Caller]

No. Oh, I was thinking 23, but see.

[John Clay Wolf]

It just won't bring the money if it's not a crew cab. Everybody wants crew cabs. It's that way across the board, half tons. The extended cabs are becoming harder and harder and harder to sell. Even the Dodge trucks with the little back doors, they look, they're four doors but the small back door doesn't they bring 3,000 less than the one with the big back door? Everybody's gotten fat is what I'm trying to say and they can't fit in these damn cars anymore. So I may, I, I may give more but I normally my gut is pretty close when I go to dig in and look up the market on them. But load it into the system and I'd like to see what my automated system bids it at. Okay, put the VIN number in, add the leather, do the extended cab. Well the VIN will show the extended cab. It'll bust it in automatically. Put the miles in. If it's got a bad carfax like accident history, click that cuz it deducts for that. If it's clean, it adds for that. Anyway, put it in the [e-mail] and I'm going to look at it after the show and it'll send me an email. Also what it bids it at, it's going to hit you at a range but it'd be surprised. I'm interested to see how close I am off the cuff to what, what the computer that has all the knowledge does going to say best. Oh actually wait a minute. Matt. Matt, where are you calling from?

[Caller]

All Brightsville, Pennsylvania. Zzo baby.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have Turley? Do you have any Ronnie James Dio Haynes handy? Any music?

[Michael]

I can get some real quick because.

[John Clay Wolf]

I have Ronnie James Dio in the studio. Yep, we've, we've channeled him back. He's, he, he hangs out here a lot. The spirit of Ronnie James Dio sits over there at the conference table. He's our inspiration, he keeps us going. I, he's not the best male vocalist ever, but I'm with you man. I mean the guy's on it. Bob, would you agree? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He is, he is top five. He is top five. He is tough. We, we need to, we need to make this list.

[Michael]

So we do have him singing the hits we do. Remember. You remember that album he had before he passed away?

[John Clay Wolf]

Let's play it for Matt real quick.

Now available, Sony Classic and Rhino Records are proud to present the King of Darkness heavy metal legend Ronnie James Dio as you've never heard him before. Covering virtually every genre of popular music in the all new Ronnie James Dio. Around the world in 666 days. The late great Ronnie James Dio for the first time ever sings classic country and western. I fell into a burning ring of fire it burns, burns, burns Till the.

[J.D. Ryan]

Fire ring higher and it burns, burns.

[John Clay Wolf]

Burns the rig of high. The rig of high contemporary pop favorites.

Whoops.

I did it again. I played with your heart. I lost in the game. Baby, baby, I think I'm in love. And your favorite 70s disco, she's a brick House. She's stuck to lots of hugs.

You hold him up. She's a brick house.

[Caller]

She hold it on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Plus, DL's inimitable take on timeless classics from yesteryear.

Not the words of one who kneels.

The wreckage shows I took the bus.

[Caller]

My way.

[John Clay Wolf]

And did it my way.

And who knew that Ronnie Dio could rap gangster? 1, 2, 3, to the 4. Stupid Dr. Dio at the door.

Coming to Goodbye in the Hood.

You know, that is good. But this collection's available for a limited time only, so call now. Operators are standing by.

See, Matt, what you didn't know is that we had that in the bucket. We did this deal with Ronny James after he died. Did you even know he sang all those songs? Matt, are you there?

[Caller]

It's amazing.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's amazing. Simply amazing. I. I hope you got more than you bargained for with that phone call.

[Caller]

I absolutely did. What I need is Rush Limbaugh's take on the best male vocalist.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, man.

[Caller]

That's what we need.

[John Clay Wolf]

When we come back, we'll have Rush come on the air with us and we'll, we'll. We'll get this straight once and for all. Thanks, wzz.

[Caller]

You guys are the best.

[John Clay Wolf]

What city are you in?

[Caller]

Albrightville. Ally.

[John Clay Wolf]

Got it, got it, got it. Thanks, man. My name is John Clay Wolf, and I buy cars on the radio, I guess. And we'll be right back.

Every time I stare into the sun? Trying to find a reason to go on? All I ever get is burned and blind? Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain.

Me.

When you came along the time was right? Pull me like an apple red and ripe?

Wasn't very long you took a bite.

And did me wrong? And it serves me right?

And I nearly forgot my broken heart? It's taking me miles away from the memory of how it broke apart. Here we go round again.

[Michael]

Again.

[Radio Announcer]

From the Wolf Radio Studios, it's time for the John Clay Wolf Show. Call John toll free. Cheap bastards, 1, 800, 800, radio now. John Clay Wolf.

[John Clay Wolf]

Fellow in black days. Say hello to heaven. Pretty noose. I mean, this. This guy was planning this.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. All the time songs. Well, he has a long history. He has a long history of depression. That's true, but wouldn't grunge about depression. Wasn't the music about no, wasn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

No. It wasn't even grunge. They call it grunge. That's what they called it.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's not. Hey, you look grunchy doesn't mean you look nice.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was the grunge was more the fans. I mean, the fact that Eddie Vedder and those guys from Seattle were cold, so they wore flannels. No s. I mean, of course, it's 20 below up there. Okay, so if the best rock bands came out of Alaska, would it be, man, we're so Eskimo. We're just kicking that Eskimo ass. Eskimo is taking over.

Statistically, the suicide rate in the upper northwest has always been higher than the rest of Seattle.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's dark and it's raining a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Rains all the time. And there's, you know, there's nothing to do. They got no water burden.

The guy went to Detroit. I mean, how mean.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

You.

[John Clay Wolf]

You need to, like, get a suicide prevention pack when you hit the city limits, don't you?

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, they're going to blame it on the Ativan, too. They're going to blame it on the. Which is an anti Anxiety drug. It's not even an antidepressant, but they're going to blame it on that. His wife has. Anyway, Bobo took Advant. You do. You took advant once years ago. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

What for?

You know. Cuz I know somebody said, here, take this.

[J.D. Ryan]

There's the punchline. You need to stop right there.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's the Rush. Limbo is on the ISD and connect from Florida. Rush, Rush. Are we. Are we up? Are we up?

Hearing you loud and clear. Good morning, Rush, Florida, from the Florida.

Panhandle, Joan, we had a listener in Pennsylvania hail you.

[Michael]

He.

[John Clay Wolf]

He requested. Sorry, I forgot you were there.

[J.D. Ryan]

What do you say? The guy in Pennsylvania, he wanted to hear.

[John Clay Wolf]

I like to say thanks to Pennsylvania for helping out with the electoral College.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Back in November. We appreciate you very much up there, Pennsylvania.

Rush, what is the. What's going on with politics this week? Is Trump gonna resign or is he just. I mean, I'm so. I'm sick of this. I thought I was sick of it, but it won't stop.

[J.D. Ryan]

We thought it was bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I thought it was bad before. This won't get. This will not stop.

You know, on the other side of the aisle since Bill Clinton's. We'll say escapades.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

In the Oval Office, at least with young miss Lewinsky and more. You've never seen a party turn on their own so quickly. Most Republicans probably wouldn't mind no a little Lewinsky if Donald J. Trump were to resign the office. Because then we have Mike Pence in the office.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, that's what we need.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you've never seen a Republican president or you forget what it was like, you'd see it. After Mike Pence got the office, all convertible automobiles would be outlawed outright. I don't think so immediately.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't believe that's.

[John Clay Wolf]

There be no Ativan for you or me or your dog named Boo.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't believe this is Outlaw Adivan.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you think Mike is a little tight in the ass britches.

And federal enforcement of the evil grass, I think would finally take its rightful place in this country.

Oh, so the pot smokers don't want.

Pence in because you can't tax it and you can't sell it legally.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, you can tax it, except in Colorado. Can sell it legally.

[John Clay Wolf]

In certain you'll make a lot more money off of Percocets, I'll tell you that right now.

You won't.

I pay an arm and a leg weekly.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, I know you do, but most.

[John Clay Wolf]

I feel fine.

[J.D. Ryan]

I know you do.

[John Clay Wolf]

You were talking about rock vocalists that you really like. I'm not sure about this. It's Cornel.

Cornel Chris Cornell.

Cornell. I'm not sure.

[Satan]

What.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did he sing?

Black Hole Sun. See, do you have that clip of Pretty Nude? Pretty Noose? I mean, that's no pun. The fact that he accidentally hung himself. He didn't accidentally hang himself. He did hang himself.

I think the idea of a black hole sun is. Is outrageously incongruent for the. For the genre of rock and roll music because it. It absolutely on its face, has nothing to do with metaphysics.

What are you talking. So who are your top five greatest male rock vocalists of all time? And by the way, listeners, we have that. Go to the John Claywell Facebook page and put yours in too.

Could I. Is it against the rules if I slip in at number six? Honorable mention to that Ray Davies from the Kinks. Ah, he's married to that hot little piece of tail, Chrissy Hine from the Pretenders.

You've been stealing this song from her for years.

That's right. Stealing. Outright stealing.

I think actually she published a deal and tried to fight you from using it.

I heard that she doesn't mind because she's so stoned all of the time.

So who is. Who would be your top five male vocalist? Mine's Robert Plant, number one, Chris Cornell, number two. And I haven't worked out the rest.

At number five, I've got the Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent.

[J.D. Ryan]

Who?

[John Clay Wolf]

What? Well, by definition, really can't sing. No, but I like what he talks about.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay, so we're talking about singers, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

Enough said.

[J.D. Ryan]

Gotcha.

[John Clay Wolf]

Number four is Barry Manilow, because we all go on dates sometimes.

[J.D. Ryan]

He even says he's not a good vocalist.

[John Clay Wolf]

I know. My little lady loves to hear that. Can't smile without you. It gets her all hot and bothered.

All right.

And I like that. At number three, Frank Sinatra. Hello, Old blue Eyes.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, you can't kick on that one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Number two, best. And this is a controversial pick, you may or may not agree, but on the basis of just one song. Lee Greenwood.

Rush Limbaugh's top five male rock vocalist of all time.

[J.D. Ryan]

And even.

[John Clay Wolf]

Even when he sings it. God bless the nra.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, he doesn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Still touches the soul, doesn't it?

[J.D. Ryan]

He never sang that.

[John Clay Wolf]

God bless the USA. Mr. Greenwood, cocktails are on Me.

[J.D. Ryan]

Good song. But he's not Rock.

[John Clay Wolf]

My number one favorite ever. And of course, everybody knows this is probably quite obvious. Perry Como.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, he's not rock either.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's Crib. There's Como right there.

[J.D. Ryan]

This is now.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's good music.

Was that rock and roll back in your day?

Get into the groove. Turn it up, Turley. Those magic moments when you buy your downers.

Thank you for joining us, Rush Limpo.

Bloody Marys all around.

Oh, my God. Oh, my. Greg. An 07 Lexus with a bucko five is worth about six. Six thousand.

[Caller]

Six grand.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's a. It's a Es. You know, it's a Camry. Six or seven grand here.

[Caller]

No, no, no. I'm. I'm Alexis. I'm Alexis. Johnny. Johnny, you got. Wrong color.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no, it's the same car. It's just got a Lexus badge.

[Caller]

I know, but Alexis best ten times the car.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's worth more money. What? What? What were you thinking?

[Caller]

I heard you bid a.05, okay, with 90,000 miles for like. It was like seven grand.

[John Clay Wolf]

20,000. Everybody's memory of what I say is so skewed it's ridiculous. You wouldn't believe how many times a week we have to go back to the tape of the show and play it back for people.

[Caller]

Johnny.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller]

First of all, God bless Trump. Anybody who ain't behind Trump, they kiss your butt, okay? Listen to me, buddy. I sold you a car. 08 Honda Accord with 39,000 miles, okay? She gave me 8 grand, all right? Air money. You may I like you. That's why I'm calling you again. You're a fun guy. I think. I think the card is 75, pal.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, let me look. I'm gonna look it up. I'm gonna look it up. I think you're probably average. Mmr. I just pulled it up. What did I tell him?

[Caller]

Average.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did I tell him?

[J.D. Ryan]

What was it?

[John Clay Wolf]

What was my number? He said 20 grand. What was the number I just shot off? Now, what was the number I shot off right out of the gate?

[Caller]

You shot six, I shot seven.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does shoot six. Okay. Average MMR is 68.25. 68. 25.

[Caller]

So I'm correct.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where do you live?

[Caller]

I live in Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller]

So I'm driving you, you know, right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, my money's good. You know, we'll do what we say because you've already done one with us. So does seven grand. Does seven grand buy it?

[Caller]

You know what, Johnny? Because I like you, I'm gonna tell you this much. First of all, when I bought it, the girl had it sewed, had some scratches. I painted all the fenders. Everything's great. It's been a painted car, but it looks good. Real good. Seven grand. Buy the car. I'll go home, put it in the.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sold. Done. $7,000. Go load it in. Say, John bought this car for me for $7,000 make. If it's like a salvage title, it won't work. You know that.

[Caller]

No, no. Green car, back gavel walls.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's gonna be a customer deal. Number two out of Houston. Thank you. Repeat business. We love you. Go tell people.

[Caller]

Let me tell you. Let me tell you guys on the air. I've been in the business for a long time. John straight. He's cool. I like the guy. Me, you talked last time off the air because one of your guys tipped me off. God bless you, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you. One of your guys pissed me off. Do we have that Hooter clip from when he freaked out? That's the funniest thing ever. That was the funniest thing ever when Hooter melted down one one day over a Dodge Challenger. And we were there at the customer's house to pick it up.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And the lady was, like, hiding behind the. We made the deal with them, okay? We send the drivers. We're there with the check as promised, right? And she won't answer the door. And our driver's like. She's like, he's not here. Well, we're here to pick up the car. He's not Here. So Hooter calls her. She's like, he's in the bathroom. What does that have to do with get the keys from him? Well, he changed his mind and Hooter just like. God. It's pretty funny. Lost it.

Yeah, because Hooter's real cool all the time.

Very cool. With a guy like. With a name like Hooter, how could you not be cool? What's the top 10 at 10 today?

[J.D. Ryan]

Top 10 at 10. United Airlines is in trouble again. Are you ready to do it now or you want to wait?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, we can do it now.

[J.D. Ryan]

Go get Casey. Hang on, Casey. Good morning, John. How you doing? KC Gasem's a wonderful day in the neighborhood. Except if you work for United Airlines. Yes, their PR people are busy again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Again.

[J.D. Ryan]

This week they've made public relations news. They made a US soldier coming back from two years in Afghanistan pay an extra 200 bucks to bring home his kevlar vest and his helmet.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, God. Did they really?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, they did.

[John Clay Wolf]

Man, that's worse than beating up the. The old lady. Yes. Or the. The Vietnamese doctor. Whatever he was.

[J.D. Ryan]

Their PR people have been busy coming up with.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hang on, let me get this straight.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

United charged the US Soldier extra money to bring home his soldiers?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep. First lieutenant John Raider, on his way back from El Paso to Austin after a two year deployment, two years in Afghanistan, brought home his standard military duffel bag in it with his kevlar vest, two helmets and boots. All which of course he was using in Afghanistan.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. To protect us so that we could hang out.

[J.D. Ryan]

It was over the 70 pound limit, so you must pay us 200 bucks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, top ten.

[J.D. Ryan]

Here we go. So there are people in a big spin trying to come up with new slogans to help them out. Number we can't overbook if we don't have any customers. You might beat isis, but you won't beat our gate agents. Number eight, United Airlines. Bringing a new meaning to fight or flight. Number we put the hospital. Hospital and hospitality.

[Caller]

Number six.

[J.D. Ryan]

Our red eye flights are pretty much all day. Number five, you'll wish freakin snakes were the worst problem on this freaking plane.

[Caller]

Number four.

[J.D. Ryan]

United Airlines. Are you not entertained? Sorry. We'll treat you like a King Rodney King. Now serving Chinese takeout.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go.

[J.D. Ryan]

The top 10 new lost slogans. That was number one. United Airlines. Keep your feet in the ground. Keep reaching for the stars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wow. How's the count guy always off?

[J.D. Ryan]

I have no idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's got one job to do. One job. Count backwards, 10 to 1. And he can't do that straight. Golly. If you would like to be the count guy, please go to give me the vin.com and click email. JCW. We're looking for a new Countdown.

[J.D. Ryan]

Man, you would just think they come out with a memo at United saying, if there's any issues, call somebody.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

If you can see it on Facebook, call somebody.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dear Rhonda, Galveston, Good morning.

[Caller]

Hi. How are you doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you sitting on the beach?

[Caller]

No, I'm driving around in my convertible.

[Michael]

Ah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why do you want to sell it?

[Caller]

Because my grandchildren came to live with me and this is not a family car and they want to drive it and I'm not putting them under the wheel of this thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

How old are your grandkids?

[Caller]

15 and 12.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have to cook for them all the time? Grandmas are good for that.

[Caller]

I'm not that kind of grandma. I'm more of like, let's go to McDonald's kind of grandma.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're. You're the driving a 2010 Mustang GT convertible kind of grandma convertible.

[Caller]

Well, it's automatic. Insurance is cheaper.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now, is the, is the convertible top in good shape or do we have to replace it? Is the windows.

[Caller]

I just replaced it last year because the back window got busted.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep.

[Caller]

And of course they don't come. You can't just replace the window. You have to put the whole thing in.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I'm thinking 8,000 off the top of my head. 110,000 miles, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And it's a seven year old Mustang. The only people we can sell it to is strippers. And see all they have down is a lot of good promises.

[Caller]

Grandma, in Galveston, there's a lot of grandmas driving Mustangs. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

If you, if you ask them for a resume and tell them to give you one all the way back to the 70s, you might be surprised what they used to do.

[Caller]

I'm not much of a grandma.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's it take to buy it?

[Caller]

I don't know. I really don't know what the payoff is on. I was just, you know, I'm throwing it around because I want to get an SUV.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm thinking go to givemetheven.com, put the VIN number in in the miles and it'll throw the number immediately. I may be a little bit light, but I'm pretty close.

[Caller]

Okay. All right, thank you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bye. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800. Radio. Somebody's computer is playing. Put them on hold. Is that me?

[Caller]

Nope.

[Michael]

Whose computer is that?

[J.D. Ryan]

Not mine.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's Bobos of Course, he. It's the guy that does the countdown. He. He's got two jobs to do. One, turn off his computer volume, and two, do the count 10 to 1 backwards.

[J.D. Ryan]

You put this up on Facebook, John? Does this happen? You put this thing up at the soccer mom looking out her window. I scratched my car. Tomorrow I'll take the car to the dealership and blame them for it so my husband doesn't get mad. Does that really happen?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. Do people do that? Of course. What a horrible. Dustin, where are you calling from? Jackson, Mississippi. How are you finding us? I know that we don't have an affiliate in Jackson, Mississippi, yet.

[Caller]

You don't? But I'm driving through Baton Rouge right now. I'm listening to you 98.1.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good, good. You see, you've never heard us before.

[Caller]

I have never heard you before, but I'm enjoying every bit of it so far.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, good, because we were actually talking to an affiliate in Jackson, Mississippi, so we may be on in your town sometime very soon. What is your comment, sir?

[Caller]

You guys want to discuss the top rock nail vocalist of all time, Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Caller]

Yes. Freddie Mercury has not been mentioned that I've heard. I mean, he's got to be at the top of the list.

[John Clay Wolf]

I. I agree. And we're. We're compiling that list right now. So we're gonna go. Are we agreeable on Robert Plant being number one?

[Caller]

I'll give him a full second. He's got five.

[Satan]

So.

[Caller]

Freddie Mercury. Operatic.

[John Clay Wolf]

The man could just delve in front of Chris Cornell.

[Caller]

Yeah. Yes, unfortunately.

[John Clay Wolf]

Cut the music. What, What, What. What is your number three?

[Caller]

Oh, man, I didn't think it that far ahead, frankly.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mercury, yet he is from Mississippi. We can't give him too many questions at once. Thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. And he's driving through Louisiana, so, you know, he's hungover. Number one, Robert Plant. Number two, Chris Cornell. Number three, Freddie Mercury. Okay, so who's number four and number five, Perry. I was thinking of Steve Perry earlier. Yeah, it's pretty hard to argue with that.

[J.D. Ryan]

Steven Tyler you said. I mean, that's a good one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, he's not bad.

[Michael]

He's top. Top ten.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Michael]

Bruce Dickinson, too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ronnie Van Zant. Yeah. Ronnie. Bobbo. Hit it. Yeah. Ronnie Van Zant's number four. And Paul Rogers. That's it. You got it. I mean, how do you argue with that list? I don't think top Five best male vocalists of all time. Robert Plant, number one. Chris Cornell, number two. Freddie Mercury, number three.

Hold on. We're keeping Cornell at number two?

I am.

That's insane.

It's not insane.

Thanks for joining us.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Hello.

[J.D. Ryan]

For all you fine art lovers, time for the Walsh Players to pull back the curtain and share the tales of George Jackson, a septuagenarian.

[John Clay Wolf]

Wait, wait, what's a septuagenarian?

[J.D. Ryan]

He's 74 years old.

[Satan]

Baba.

[John Clay Wolf]

Baba. Shut up, you Morrow.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, right. Our George Jackson, 74. Unfortunately, his loving wife of 54 years, Janice, passed away just six months ago.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm sorry.

So freaking lonely. I could join the Barry Manilow fan club. I'm a street guy.

[J.D. Ryan]

How sad is that? So George decides to attend a seniors mixer at the Grand Hotel downtown. Little disco music coming here. And after a few cocktails, decides.

[John Clay Wolf]

Ooh.

[J.D. Ryan]

To ask a young lady of 69 years to dance.

[John Clay Wolf]

Damn it, lady, you're a great freaking dancer. Thank you. Tall, dark and wrinkly. I like you, too. Yeah, baby, Shake and shake.

[J.D. Ryan]

Disgusting. Anyway, and suddenly, as if George is a striking young whippersnapper again, he decides to take the next logical step.

[John Clay Wolf]

May I help you, sir?

Yeah, I want.

I mean.

I mean, we want a room. Room with a view.

Your king, sir.

[J.D. Ryan]

Before you know it, George and his new sweetheart are alone in the honeymoon sweet. And things are moving along rather rapidly.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, God. Oh, baby, you're making me feel so.

[J.D. Ryan]

Young I'm gonna puke. Soon, George is half out of his dinner jacket and Mary's top comes off. What was that? And George, who can't believe his good fortune, is the both of them okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

His beginnings is Mary's top coming off, you moron.

[J.D. Ryan]

Toward the bed. When Mary says, you know, I think.

[John Clay Wolf]

It'S only fair that I tell you in all honesty, I've got a. A cute. A Gina.

[J.D. Ryan]

George replies, boy, that's a relief, cuz.

[John Clay Wolf]

Your boobs are awful.

[J.D. Ryan]

And that concludes our story of the lucky septuagenarian.

[John Clay Wolf]

Use that word again.

Shut up, Mama.

[J.D. Ryan]

The moral of which must be a Little angina could turn out to be just what the doctor ordered.

[John Clay Wolf]

She has a cute angina. Oh God, that is good. Her boobs were awful.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I can. I can pick it up down there. Do you own it?

[Caller]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. We have a company policy not to negotiate with anyone who does not own the vehicle. Because it is such a jerk a stroke job to. To make a deal with somebody's best friend and then it all changes. I think this truck is a $37,000. $36,000 rig.

[Caller]

[Michael]

I mean, you keep going.

Gosh, I am left.

[Michael]

No. Well, Eddie and I guess Dave Grohl, kind of. He's a drummer. He's the drummer. He wasn't a lead at the time. He's a lead now.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm always having a ball.

[J.D. Ryan]

I got you.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what's going on?

[Michael]

Why.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why are you taking all the grunge singers?

[Satan]

Let me tell you what the deal really is, okay? All these grunge guys, they act like they're all sad.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Satan]

And they are. Well, hey, you stay married to Courtney love for 14 years.

[J.D. Ryan]

You do have a point.

[Satan]

It's Dave Gro, the mastermind of grunge metal.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's doing what?

[Satan]

He's knocking all these guys off one at a time and taking their powers.

[J.D. Ryan]

Stop it.

[Michael]

You know, he has gotten better over the years. You think about, he started as a drummer, and now look at him.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, she's like the Adolf Hitler grunge rock.

[Satan]

Oh, sure. Now he's got the hair. He can play drums, he can play bass.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's the only one left.

[Satan]

If they get him a keyboard, Billy Joel will die within six weeks.

[Caller]

I don't know, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

There's so many damn car makes and models out there. I can't believe I keep up with what I know. Does it have sunroof and leather?

[Caller]

No, it doesn't have it. That's why I want to upgrade. And I was hoping maybe you and I could work a deal on a trade.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't sell cars. I just buy them.

[Caller]

You just buy them and sell them to deeper, son.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Yeah. That's all I do. I'm a quick flipper. I make 300 bucks a car. We do a couple hundred cars a week. And this. That's my gig. I stay in my lane. The dealers are actually my customers. Except Carmen. I don't like me anymore.

[John Clay Wolf]

What did you think about our system that gives you a number that quick? Do you like it?

[Caller]

I did. I loved it, actually. And you guys were like $3,000 higher than the trade in value, which I figured.

[Michael]

Anyway.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah. And he ain't got no job.

[J.D. Ryan]

Afraid to use it.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

I think he's getting a disability or something. Like he just lays in wait for you to stroll by.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well.

[J.D. Ryan]

And he shoots you.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he's mean.

[J.D. Ryan]

You're mean spirited.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

One time he flushed a whole family of squirrels down his toilet.

[John Clay Wolf]

No.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

And we didn't see them for weeks. You know we used to have a dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

But it died.

[J.D. Ryan]

A dog?

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah, I heard it was Hershey Syrup overdose.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I don't think so.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah, I mean, everybody knows you don't give chocolate to a damn dog.

[J.D. Ryan]

No. They can eat almost anything off the ground, but not that.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Anyway, you get the idea, right? We all steer right clear of bb. But my friend Rusty, what'd he do? He was getting high the other day behind a chick fil A. Oh boy. We've seen BB outside on the porch burning his trash in a barrel and eating cookies. And Rusty thought he'd sneak up there and get him a cookie.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Well, BB held that Oreo out there. And when Rusty come to get it because he's a stupid gullible bum.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

BB grabbed him and threw him in the burning trash bag.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can you believe that? No, that's awful.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

No, but Rusty's okay. Rusty jumped out of the barrel, engulfed in flames.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

And ran into BB's house.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Headed for the Faucet. Luckily, he managed to put himself out, but not until he caught the curtains on fire. And also a rug and a pile of swinger mags. And a box of black cats.

[J.D. Ryan]

Box of black cats.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah, he burned BB's house down to the ground anyway. But Rusty's okay. Of course, he ain't got no hair.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, no, that's all right.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

He's always been freaky deaky. Now he just looks freaky.

[J.D. Ryan]

What a weird week you guys have.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

So much activity.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Nice to animals.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Damn it, man. Hey, we got enough troubles.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, we do.

I'm with you. I'm with you.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Randy, do you know what house cats are living on these days?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, don't tell us.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

Right here, buddy.

[J.D. Ryan]

What? Squirrels.

[Randy the Chipmunk]

House cats will eat your ass.

From a movie screen. Said don't mind but what do you mean? I am the one who dance on.

The floor and around. I know this song. Don't tell me.

[J.D. Ryan]

Song.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's good. Why can I not place it? I mean, obviously. This is Chris Cornell singing this. Oh, there it goes. God almighty. I am a. I'm a certified moron. Although you've rubbed off on me, it.

Is very different from the original.

[Michael]

I mean, this Guy's not a good vocalist at all, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, he's fine. Top two of all time. I don't know.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, we got Michael McDonald.

Can you tell me where's the bathroom?

Did you hear Glenn Henley get interviewed a few times this week?

[J.D. Ryan]

Been doing some radio. Yeah, he has been. He's talking about the new replacement for Glenn Fry. That's how you got Glenn out of there. But he was saying Glenn Fry's son is going to be the replacement for Glenn Fry. Have you heard Glenn's son sing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Negative. Oh, he's.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, he's not good.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's on YouTube.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's not good.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's not good.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, he sounds like a lounge singer.

[John Clay Wolf]

He ain't never been backed up by the Eagles before.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, I'll make me the one song. The one song I heard him sing. Don Henley does or. No, actually, I'm sorry. Glenn Fry comes in, his dad comes in and that's the only time it sounds like a song. Other than that, it just sounds like a kid on stage.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, the program directors tell me we need to do more cars, if you can believe that.

[J.D. Ryan]

More cars? How about more boats? I sold your boat.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you?

[J.D. Ryan]

Money is changing hands. Done deal.

[John Clay Wolf]

[J.D. Ryan]

It's Monday. I got the money Monday and I have a backup.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, you got it this past Monday.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, no, no. This coming Monday.

[John Clay Wolf]

Future Monday, 48 hours from now. So you got it sold, but you ain't got the money yet, is that right?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, that is correct. And I have a bank.

[John Clay Wolf]

What you got is a car deal.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, my God. I can't.

[John Clay Wolf]

You just said collected. Aren't you.

[J.D. Ryan]

I can't win.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

What Bob was saying is right.

[J.D. Ryan]

This thing is cost.

[John Clay Wolf]

The deal ain't done.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's okay. I mean, yeah. I've certainly earned my ten dollar fee.

[Michael]

You're gonna pay ten dollars?

[John Clay Wolf]

I was gonna negotiate. I was gonna pay you a thousand. What? Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

I gotta start working harder.

[John Clay Wolf]

You buy you a couple of those Wendy's.

Jason, good morning. You're on the air. Jason, are you there? Hyundai. Jason, Hi. Hi. What city?

[Caller]

Oklahoma City.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oklahoma City. Hey, what city has more money as a overall environment, economy? Tulsa or okc?

[Caller]

Tulsa's got more.

[J.D. Ryan]

Old money, more speakerphones.

[Caller]

As well, but they can.

[John Clay Wolf]

Can you pick the phone up for me? If you could pick the phone up. It's all right. I know you've been on hold forever. Okay, let me, let me, let me. Because we're thinking about going into Tulsa and I just didn't know what to expect. Is Tulsa less redneck than Oklahoma City region? I lost him. 2011 Hyundai, are you there? Yes. Is Tulsa less redneck than, than OKC region? Great. Greater Tulsa.

[Caller]

Well, that's what, that's what people in Tulsa will tell you. But I found plenty of them up there.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're everywhere. They're hanging from the trees.

[Caller]

Yes, they were hanging from the trees. Let me tell you a funny story about the last time I was in Tulsa.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Caller]

I was actually putting gas in my car and I put credit card in, you know, walked inside to get me a Dr. Pepper or whatever. I came outside and there was a, a person there that had removed the gas pump from my vehicle and was putting it in five gallon buckets.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, well, that's, that's, you know, interesting. So they just were stealing your gas?

Yes.

[Caller]

I mean, because it was still running on my credit card. So they like. Well, hell, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Some free cash. What did you say to this person?

[Caller]

Well, actually, I didn't really say much. I just said, hey homie, could you please. Yes, I, Yes, I did say, homie.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is your Hyundai Equus a signature or an Ultimate?

[Caller]

It's a signature.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, and how many miles are on it?

[Caller]

22,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

What color is it?

[Caller]

Silver.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Anything wrong with it?

[Caller]

Nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's low miles for a Hyundai driver. Most Hyundai people are long, long commuters. Hard working folk. You're a lazy, lazy folk. You don't drive much that's good for your car.

[Caller]

Well, no, I actually, I just bought it from a doctor and literally his practice was like three miles from his house and Nicholas Hills and so back and forth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nichols Hills. Okay. Does, does 16 grand buy it?

[Caller]

Oh no. 25.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, not for two. 2011 Hyundai. Average MMR on it. 16, 550. And I'd give that if it's real nice. But that's what, that's the money. The doctor taught you a lesson. Don't mess with doctors. They put you together. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800. Priscilla.

[Caller]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

They don't they. I see. 07 Nissan Optima Ultima Ah, ultima. Unfortunately, with 150, 55, 000 miles, it really makes it worth nothing. Is it leather or anything? No, it's a. What is it, Mike? Is it a 1500 car? Yeah, an 07 with a buck and a half. Yeah, you know, right around 1500.

[Caller]

1500. Okay. I'll talk to my husband. I'll let you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, just go to the website, load it up, say John was thinking 1500 on the radio and let's see the pictures and pull the. The. But that, that sounds about right to me. These junk cars, when they get old and they get mild up, they're just. That. They're just worth nothing. It's not my fault. Don't tell you the damn truth. They're just worth nothing. I mean, I got a 05 Explorer with 193,000 miles on it. Yeah, I'll give you 500 bucks for it. And I really hope that you don't take it because it's going to cost me more to handle it than the damn.

[J.D. Ryan]

If you really want to get rid of it, donate, you get the tax write off from like kids can academy and things like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, kids academy. Yeah, the. The. The Nissans, the Lexuses, the Toyotas with big miles, they still do some money, but like domestic cars, Chryslers. I mean, I've never gotten in the car with a man that drives a Chrysler that didn't apologize when we got in.

[J.D. Ryan]

Brand new. And sorry about this.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, it's just true. I mean, what's a Dodge Intrepid worth with. With. With 10,000 miles?

[J.D. Ryan]

Nothing. 10,000 miles.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, you know, sell it to your friend, but. Yeah. Really, Nobody wants to drive that. It's like trying to sell bell bottom. No, I mean, the hipsters will buy those and hipsters will buy like an 87 Cadillac Deville.

[Michael]

Well, it's funny you say that. We did sell one to a hipster. Not we, but meaning our. And one of our employees bought one Connie's daughter Dodge Intrepid. And that was the only reason it was bought, was because she wanted it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because it was free.

[Michael]

Yeah, because.

[John Clay Wolf]

Exactly. Right.

[Michael]

No one else wants it.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, if you just need wheels.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it's just if it's. If it doesn't have any hipster sentimental value, there's a reason that they're wrecking yards and there's a reason that you see those big trucks loaded up with crushed cars running the road. Oh, they're a bunch of classics, you know. Well, that whole load of cars is going to bring twelve hundred dollars for the weight. Wow, what worth. What's it weigh? What's it weigh? 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. 800, 800 radio. Remember, we are looking for some more buyers for. Give me the VIN buying room and I'll tell you why. Charlie, have you ever thought about moving to California?

[Michael]

Actually, yes, we have.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really?

[Michael]

What? No, it's funny you say that. Yes, One time I've been listening to Larry Gatlin.

[J.D. Ryan]

All the goals from the law, maybe.

[Michael]

No, I visited California several times when other radio stations. I'd either cover the Cowboys or we'd go out there and do LA house parties, stuff like that. So I love LA or just California medical marijuana. Well, it just depends on where you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm thinking seriously about opening up a new hub out there between, you know, in LA and. And start doing the. Give me the VIN and pickup stations in San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento. Did you know Los Angeles, San Diego's beautiful. Los Angeles listenership. The whole media market combined is larger than Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio combined together. Yep. Unbelievable.

[J.D. Ryan]

Ridiculously huge. Yes, I do know that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Believable.

[Michael]

So that's different out there, though, far as radio goes. Real laid back. It's not in your face.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's. Yeah, it's totally different. Like Adam Corolla. That's why he was so popular out there.

[Michael]

Yeah, but he's not. He's laid back, though.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, that's what I'm saying. It is. That's why he was so popular. Oh, yeah. Hi, everybody. Yeah, welcome to the radio, man. You know, peace, love and happiness. Home of K rock, kvc, KLOS is what I'm thinking of. KP I G. That's a big classic rocker out there.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

But we've been looking through stations and trying to figure out how to put this together. We could bid the cars. We could do the whole thing out of here.

[J.D. Ryan]

We're not Vegas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Somewhere in between population. What?

[J.D. Ryan]

Vegas is closed. How long? I mean, you're gonna move cars anyway. Who wants to live in Los Angeles? Michael does, I guess.

[Michael]

San Diego, anywhere.

[J.D. Ryan]

Awesome. Yeah.

[Michael]

See, now you're talking, huh?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, yeah. San Diego's beautiful. I've been to both.

[John Clay Wolf]

I said, well, yes, it's just like Mad Men. We're gonna open up the west coast office.

[J.D. Ryan]

There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

That didn't work out very well. Everybody got divorced. 800, 800, seven two, three. That's a great show. Mad Men. If you've not watched Mad Men, give it a shot. If you like us, you'll like that. It's funny. Adam, where are you calling from?

[Caller]

Call for Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

Houston? What you got, man?

[Caller]

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And it's got 13,000 miles. But it says leather and roof. Or leather Nav. Is that right? Yes, but it's an sle. Most Sles come with a cloth.

[Caller]

Yeah, I got. I got upgraded version and I got DVDs and headrest.

[John Clay Wolf]

What color is it?

[Caller]

It's like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Satan]

There ain't nothing going on with me, man. What you talking about? I was trying to drink a Dr. Pepper.

[John Clay Wolf]

What are you doing in the car business?

[Caller]

Got out two months last year. I was general manager. I've been new car man, used car manager. I can appraise the car just like you. Without the book, without Manheim. Listen, here's the deal, brother. I said I need to be on that phone because he's gonna tell me I might sell him three cars. That's good for your business, brother.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right.

You better know the windows are going to be clean.

Where do you live?

[Caller]

Houston.

[John Clay Wolf]

Houston. Where were you? Where were you? The general manager.

The world before automations bought it. No, no, I was there for two years. Used cars. I doubled the gross. And used cars. God bless always. What else you want to know, brother?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's the same story. I mean, I've heard it all my life. The guy goes into a place, he takes it from 50 cars a month to 300, right? And then he loses his job. Why? Well, I don't know why. Why. Why do they. Why do they fire the great people?

[Caller]

Now you bounce around, brother. Listen, here's the deal. This guy's my witness. 30 years in the business, I've never lied in a guy deals. No one can say that. All right, let's go on. What do you want to talk about now?

[John Clay Wolf]

I was gonna have Bobbo remind you of your favorite DJ on the Bear, your king.

We've got a caller live from Lake Arrowhead.

That's your best Keith on.

We're gonna play some Black Sabbath.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right.

[Caller]

That's pretty weak.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's pretty weak, Bob.

That's pretty weak, Bob.

Well, everything I do is pretty weak.

For a guy that was a personal friend of yours and you were an impersonation.

I can't do them all, man. Come on.

Okay, so what is your comment, Paul? Daryl?

[Caller]

All right, my comment for you guys is you guys are completely missing the boat on who the best singer is.

[Satan]

Okay, Best vocalist.

[Caller]

You ready?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm ready. We're holding. Drumroll.

[Caller]

Paul Rogers. Bad company.

[John Clay Wolf]

We had Paul Rogers on our top five of greatest of all time. We did number one, Robert Plant. Do you disagree or agree?

[Caller]

I completely disagree.

[John Clay Wolf]

You think Paul Rogers is number one?

[Caller]

Without a doubt.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so he's going Paul, number two. We did the recently deceased Chris Cornell.

[Caller]

Yeah, I'd probably have to disagree with you on that one also.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who's your number two?

[Caller]

Well, I mean, up in there, you probably still have to, you know, consider, like, a Freddie Mercury just because of his range.

[John Clay Wolf]

We had Freddy as number three.

[Caller]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm with.

[Caller]

You still have to consider Robert Plant.

[John Clay Wolf]

And if Chris hadn't died last week, we probably wouldn't have him at number two. We probably close. It's.

[Caller]

Right. That's pretty much what I was thinking.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Caller]

You know, is it too soon?

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, I'm gonna say Chris and Freddy are an equal. Then who was number four? We had I. Leonard Skynyrd's lead singer, man. I mean, I just. That guy still hits me decades later. I mean, I know he's not the best singer, but he's the best singer. He's almost like a Bob Dylan. Ish. Great. If that makes sense.

[Satan]

Right?

[John Clay Wolf]

And then Paul, singer, songwriter, Ronnie Van Zant, dude. I mean, I know I'm wrong and y' all can tell me I'm stupid and throw tomatoes at me, but I'm. I almost say that Skinner's better than Zeppelin. They're that damn good. I know nobody's ever gonna agree with me. It just hits me that way. Anyway, Daryl, thanks for calling.

[Satan]

Definitely.

[Caller]

Good.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-7 2, 3, 4. My name is John Clay Wolf, and we'll be right back.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, we got our white black intern in studio, DJ Prek. Good morning, dj. What's happening? Not much. How you've been watching the basketball, the hoops. All you white black guys love them hoops.

[Michael]

I catch it when I can. I don't have cable, so I don't, I don't get espn but you know, maybe at the bar somewhere I'm shooting some pool.

[John Clay Wolf]

What, what, what, what? Catch me up on. There was some game last night that just got out of control.

[Michael]

Oh, well, you know, Boston Celtics just got their ass kicked.

[John Clay Wolf]

How bad, what was the final?

[Michael]

It was like 80 something to about 120 or 130 points.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it was that bad.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what. How's Golden State doing? I have not kept up.

[Michael]

Golden State, they're. They're playing the spurs, but they're, they're playing a little bit dirty. You know, in game one they knocked out one of the spurs lead players with some.

[John Clay Wolf]

Which one?

[Michael]

Kawhi Leonard.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

[Michael]

With some dirty plays.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is he out? Out?

[Michael]

He, he's out out for now, I'm pretty sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

So how is that series? How deep are they into it? Two games, three games.

[Michael]

Game three tonight.

[John Clay Wolf]

And is it a one to one right now?

[Michael]

No, it's two nothing. Golden State hasn't lost one game yet. Playoffs and same with Cleveland. It's been so boring.

[John Clay Wolf]

So we're going to have the same.

[Michael]

Matchup this year for the third straight year.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, no doubt. Yep. Is Seth still. How's Durant doing on Golden State?

[Michael]

He's doing good. Is he, Is he when he plays?

[John Clay Wolf]

Is he. Oh, is he. Is he able to put up the points like he did with Oklahoma?

[Michael]

No, he just, it's spread out more.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because he's got so much talent. I shouldn't know if it worked out. So there's no doubt that it's going to be LeBron vs. Curry again?

[Michael]

Bron Brown, probably.

[John Clay Wolf]

And where were you last week? I noticed you were not here at work last week.

[Michael]

I just had some, you know, events to attend to.

[John Clay Wolf]

What'd you have to do?

[Michael]

Well, had some concerts to go to the night before, so. I thought you graduated college now Too.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I did that too.

[Michael]

You know, I got my degree.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, and what. But that was Tuesday.

[Michael]

Radio broadcasting, baby.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go. There you go. Nothing like a white black guy in radio broadcasting business. That's what we need more of.

[J.D. Ryan]

You don't have enough of those.

[Michael]

Well, now, what are you gonna do now with it? Well, I was gonna ask y' all for a raise.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, the degree. Now here's the degree. Yeah.

[Michael]

My stock's gone up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, repeat this phrase. Old school, 100, 4.5.

[Michael]

Old school 104.5.

[John Clay Wolf]

He could do it, dude.

He could do it. Thank you, D.J.

I'Ve listened to you, no doubt.

Hey, bitch, get out the way. Get out the way. Astros still on top?

[Michael]

Yeah, man, They're. They're. They're number one team in the league right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Still.

[Michael]

Amazingly. I can't believe.

[John Clay Wolf]

And how. What's the spread between them and The Rangers?

[Michael]

Like 10 games, seven games? Now, Rangers are creeping slowly, but they're actually doing a lot better since last month. They've won 10 games in a row.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now explain this to me and I know I'm an idiot when it comes to these non football sports, because that's really the only thing I kind of know anything about. So do they always take the top two in each division of the playoff?

[Michael]

No, there's. It's your top three division there. So each division has. American League Nationally has three divisions. So the first two, three. One, two, three.

[John Clay Wolf]

The first one each division go.

[Michael]

Yes. And then there's a wild card and it could be from any of those three.

[John Clay Wolf]

How do they pick it? Just season.

[Michael]

Just the standings throughout the season. And they're like right now the Rangers are neck and neck with, I think Boston.

[John Clay Wolf]

So the wild card is just taken off of your current record, correct?

[Michael]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

And how many wild cards in each?

[Michael]

One for each. Each American League.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you've got to win your division to go to the playoffs and then they pick one wild card from each side and that's it. Yeah. All right.

[Michael]

They consider one another one a wild card. But it's. Anyway, it's. It's hard to explain, but yes. So each team, each division has four teams in it. So.

[John Clay Wolf]

Jay, 15 a launcher with 39. With every. Every 16, it's a 16. Every Hyundai I start with. What's your payoff? Because Hyundai's resale are not that good and most people have. Are. Have negative equity and I'm assuming you do. What is your payoff? No, you don't. You had some money to put down, is It a limited and se a sport or a value pack.

[Caller]

Value addition with the sunroof.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And it has how many miles?

[Caller]

39, 38 right now, but I'm going for today.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, here's some transactions. 8,700 with 47,400 with 36. 9,734. What'd you say your payoff is?

[Caller]

11.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. You're little flipped. You're not bad flipped. Do you want to trade it or sell it?

[Caller]

I'm gonna trade it in on a 17 Tucson. I want a Tahoe, but I can't afford it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you just jam on them, they'll get you out of it. They'll give you 11. They're gonna hit you at nine, then hit you at 10 and just keep throwing the elbow. And say Wolf said that if I keep shopping, I'll get my 11 then. Oh, we'll give 11. That's what I do.

[Caller]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, man. Thanks. Where are you calling from?

[Caller]

Houston, Texas. Right now I'm in spring working.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good job. Thanks for tuning in in this one. These are weird. 16 BMW x4 with 26. X4. X4. Leonard, you there?

[Satan]

Yeah, I'm here.

[John Clay Wolf]

It says 16 BMW. What color is it?

[Satan]

Red.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And it's an x4 with how many miles? So there's a few versions of it. There's the. They're all. Well, there's a 3.5 and a 2.8 or a 28 and a 35. Do you know which one you have?

[Caller]

It's a 2.8.

[John Clay Wolf]

And is it the X drive? X drive, M Sport. X drive. X line. Okay. X drive. Right. Well, that's a 3.5. Hang on, I'm looking it up wrong. The BMW has really put themselves in a hole, and they've. They've made too many of these cars and they're leasing them too cheap. And they've really screwed up the. Their values. 26,000 miles. We were talking about this on the call this morning. Hi. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need to. I need the vent on this. I'm thinking low 30s, and you're not. You said payoffs. 35. Average MMR. Average MMR is 34. 6. Which means. Means that's what the index is on them. On with those miles. That's what they're bringing in the auction lanes at the BMW factory. Sales to the dealers, so. Right, right. You know, 33, 34 is gonna be my money. Okay. Okay. 800. 800. Seven, two, three, four. 800. 800.

[J.D. Ryan]

Radio fart. Stop that. Just because you see something on Facebook doesn't mean it's real or not real. Here comes some headlines have been bouncing around Facebook this week. You can tell me, is this a true story or is this a fake one? Woman arrested for defecating on boss's desk after winning the lottery. Now if you won the lottery, you might think, hey, that's pretty cool, that's pretty funny and a lot of people have thought about it, but this woman was arrested according to the headline for defecating on boss's desk after winning the lottery. She's a 41 year old woman. Susan Sharon is her name.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you have a picture of her from New York?

[J.D. Ryan]

Actually, I do.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's see what she looks like.

[J.D. Ryan]

There's her mug shot.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean she just looks like a good old school teacher, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

Is that a true story or is that a Facebook folly?

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's true Folly.

[Michael]

Yeah, that's hard to do.

[J.D. Ryan]

That was fake. That's bouncing around Facebook a lot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, you showed me the head shot.

[J.D. Ryan]

It looked like she really could be it. And another one here. Elvis's last privately owned jet to be auctioned off for $3.5 million. After it's been sitting for 30 years on a Roswell Runway.

[John Clay Wolf]

It'll never bring it. But is that true? Is the price true? No. Is the auction true?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, yes, it is true. Really, they expect between 2 and 3.5 million dollars. And the jet. Let me show you the picture of the jet.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've seen it.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's a junk. It's total ripped out junk.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, it's not even. It's not, not even close to being fixable. No, I bet it brings 200, 000.

[J.D. Ryan]

I would want, I guess just say it's Elvis's jet.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but I mean, where do you put it?

[J.D. Ryan]

I know. Where do you put. Where do you move it? You can't move. Like you'd have to trailer it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know the Cadillacs and the vets he has, they're worth so much money.

[J.D. Ryan]

Here's the interior.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're drivable.

[J.D. Ryan]

There's the cockpit. I mean it's just ragged out.

[J.D. Ryan]

Our ratings up in Pennsylvania should be great. I can't believe the people that love this passionately love this show.

[John Clay Wolf]

I wonder how it's going to work in California.

[Michael]

I think it's going to. It depends on. We got to be on a good.

[J.D. Ryan]

Rock station and they're so liberal. We're really not. I mean other than Babo and.

[Michael]

Yes, John.

[J.D. Ryan]

And I was so funny about me.

[Michael]

A good classic rock station. I think classic rock is. Is not. It's not as liberal.

[J.D. Ryan]

A little balance.

[Michael]

Yeah, there's a more balance to it.

[John Clay Wolf]

So there's some normal people on classic rockers.

[Michael]

No, I'm not saying that. No.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll talk about it. We'll do a little podcast after the. After we clip off here. You can't. But they can. 800, 800. 7 2, 3, 4. We don't. Our world doesn't revolve around your kids.

Dave Matthews called in during the break and said that he is the best male vocalist of all time and he is not dead.

[J.D. Ryan]

The one that's not dead yet.

[John Clay Wolf]

So today we were talking during the break. 7:11 is doing what?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, 7:11. This is the big deal today. It's yesterday and today. But today's your last day to bring. It's byoc bring your own cup day. You can have all the slurpee you can throw in a cup. Anything that'll fit underneath the dispenser like a puck. A bucket that's not really more than about 10 inches tall. Fill it up for a buck 50.

[John Clay Wolf]

What about a beer bong with a. With a hose on the bottom. You got to see the beer bong guy. On our website, on the junk wolf show page, the Facebook. It's good.

What if I stick my fat head under there?

[J.D. Ryan]

It says squeeze. It says the container must be leak proof. So I don't think that's accurate upright within the store's display, which is 10 inches and no cup. No problem. For 3.99, you get the 32 ounce Slurpee fishbowl. But if it's only a buck 50 to bring anything that'll fit up 10 inches or shorter.

[Michael]

Yeah, get that and put some vodka in it. You're good to go.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, wouldn't that be great? Oh, in the old days. Anyway, funny headlines this week.

A Texas man demanding a refund from his date after she texted while they were at the movies in Austin. Brandon Vezmar is his name. He wants $17.31 in damages because his date.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did he sue?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep. Good. Suing her, she said. He says she used her phone 10 to 20 times to text just in 15 minutes. Good movie. So he wants to teach her. Is that a real story or is that fake?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's real.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's a real story.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's Austin. Little Austin hipster prick.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

He can't help it.

[J.D. Ryan]

St. Louis Police Officer charged with stealing a package of hamburger he stuffed down his pants. St. John what?

[Michael]

True police officer.

[J.D. Ryan]

Police officer stuff down his pants.

[John Clay Wolf]

False.

[J.D. Ryan]

False. It is a true story out of St. Louis.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've had that compulsion myself.

[J.D. Ryan]

27 year old man from Boise, Idaho been rushed to the hospital. You've heard of those little fidgets the kids have?

[John Clay Wolf]

The little spinners.

[J.D. Ryan]

He got one stuck somewhere in his body. I don't want to say.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was he gay?

[J.D. Ryan]

He was gay. Were forced to operate on the man, remove the device. That.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes. Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I have a friend that's a Facebook folly. Okay. Because a buddy of mine is an ER doctor. Was. And he's told me stories about crazy stuff they pull out. Yeah. Unbelievable.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes, it really is.

[John Clay Wolf]

He had a. He had a half a jar. You know, the short jar of Jif peanut butter, but the full size. And it was in his colon. Rectum, whatever you want to call it. And the story was is that he was unloading the groceries naked and fell down on the. Fell down.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's the funny, the funniest parts. The stories they tell might then play. Accidentally.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's dug a lizard out. He's dug a gerbil out. He's dug it all out.

[J.D. Ryan]

The. What's the Fishing worms. My. My friend who's a doctor used to go up into the bladders and get. Pull those out. And one more for you. Is this Facebook folly or is this real? Driver officers. Police driver offers police officer Taco Bell to ignore cocaine in his car. Washington state driver made the biggest mistake. Of course. He tried to bribe a police officer. This officer was Joshua Glass. Pulled the vehicle over in Pasco county and was. Is this real or is this facing folly?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's just so reasonable. It's got to be true.

[Michael]

Yeah, it's true.

[J.D. Ryan]

That one really happened. The guy by the way, the officer did not take the Taco Bell. He did take the guy to jail.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was the guy Mexican?

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't know.

[Michael]

I don't think Mexicans like Taco Bell, John.

[J.D. Ryan]

Eric Xavier Vela Ariga, I would say, I'm gonna say he probably, maybe he.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was from Cuba could turn it down.

So that's really racist.

I know he's not.

[Michael]

Oh, come on.

[J.D. Ryan]

Eric Xavier, he offered the white cop.

[John Clay Wolf]

Taco Bell because he thought he'd go.

[J.D. Ryan]

For that yokero Taco Bell.

[John Clay Wolf]

Watch the trip I pull on these offices.

So, Bob, we've got two and a half minutes left and I want to talk about this ridiculous week in the news and the FBI and Comey and Trump and all the crap. I mean, how does this Richard Nixon comparables and everybody's calling for his impeachment. Here it goes in any minute. What the hell is going on?

People that can't believe he's in office are calling for his impeachment. It's going to take a lot more than that to impeach the current president over anything that's happened thus far. Now we're, we're squirreling our way deeper and deeper, though. It seems like something's connected, something somehow. Right, okay. And probably it went through Flynn and probably they managed to let Flynn go early enough that the Comey thing is just kind of a, a factor of the storyline playing out, you know.

So what's Comey going to say in the hearings that he's. He's volunteered for?

I think he's going to tell the truth.

And what is, what do you think the truth will be?

The truth is that the Flynn thing caused a lot of early ripples that the Donald Trump administration did not.

Did Donald. Is that an impeachable offense for him asking him to leave this alone?

I think Donald asked one, asked him.

[J.D. Ryan]

To leave it alone.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I do too, asked for a.

Pledge of loyalty and Comey said, well, I'm not going to pledge loyalty, but I will be honest and everything.

Is that an impeachable offense? I don't know. I have no idea.

[Michael]

That's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

But they'll have to vote in House conservative Michael Turley. So you remember the whole.

[Michael]

Yeah, Conservative. You remember the whole Lewinsky thing.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[Michael]

That really didn't start there, did it? It just kind of. That's how it ended up. Because they found ways into that story.

[J.D. Ryan]

Maybe. So I don't respect so long.

[Michael]

Well, not Watergate. Yeah. Anyways.

[J.D. Ryan]

Monica Gate.

[Michael]

Yeah, exactly. Well, they're going to try to get to his tax returns. That's how they're going to get. This is how they're going to get to it. And they're going to show ties of some sort that of Russia. He's business. What do we think we're going to.

[J.D. Ryan]

Find it out here?

[Michael]

I don't know but that's what I guarantee that's what they're trying to do.

[John Clay Wolf]

So do you think.

[Michael]

I don't think he's going to get impeached.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you think they'll get the charge where he'll have to stand trial for impeachment?

[J.D. Ryan]

Absolutely not. I don't think pos It'll be just like Clinton.

[Michael]

Clinton. What happened to him? Nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nothing. You know he screwed her. You know he screwed her and just.

[J.D. Ryan]

Black eyes, ties with Russia and Obama. Stop it. Just stop.

[John Clay Wolf]

Rocket to Russia.

[J.D. Ryan]

We will never know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why is Russia such a bad, bad thing all of a sudden? Why can't they be our friends?

That's what's scarier than anything. When Russia becomes a partisan deal. That's scary.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's not a partisan. We just don't want to be an.

[John Clay Wolf]

Enemy because conservatives are going, well, who cares?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it's. We just don't want to be enemies.

[John Clay Wolf]

Democrats are going, ooh, Russia.

How does it go? Nymphia Scooter pie. Right. We'll be right back. Actually, we're going to do a little bit of podcasting after the show for you podcast guys. And remember that's on itunes. And John Clay Wolf show is our. No, just John Clay Wolf.com is our show site. See you next Saturday.

[J.D. Ryan]

See ya.

[Caller]

Locker out.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm out. Back to the money.

Time is money. Give me. Okay. Is that. That's rick oasic. All right, Prek, you're a college grad now. You get to run the board. We just bought a car, Turly from a six time customer. That's what it says in the notes. It's a lot. He's not. I thought maybe they've got a bad car habit. I don't know.

[J.D. Ryan]

Habit, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Bob in Turley. We're clear. Fcc. We're clear. We believe that we are on podcast and we are not on FCC airways right now. And if we are, turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off because we are going to curse. Please don't turn Bob on.

I wish you wouldn't do that.

Really? You don't like when I curse? You know it scares you.

I. I think the Lord is offended.

You're such a bombo. Hey, so what's gonna happen. What's your real. This Trump thing's driving me crazy. I'm goddamn sick of the news and I'm ready to. I mean, God damn, can they not shut the up and chill the out and just get back to goddamn normal stuff on the news? This is fucking ridiculous.

[J.D. Ryan]

How about you just turn it off.

[John Clay Wolf]

Back in the day?

I do, but God damn, I don't.

[J.D. Ryan]

I know you can't watch the news.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's best to know what's going on.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, it's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, it is.

[J.D. Ryan]

But you. You watch the news. You don't know what's going on, okay? It's best. If you're gonna watch the news, you might as well watch wizard of Oz.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what, Nancy? No, no, that's true. You need to know what's going on, sweetheart.

[J.D. Ryan]

But you don't know what's going on by watching the news.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes, you do. But there's all kinds of news.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, my God. God. What channel do you watch that's accurate that you think is accurate?

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, this is very close to the red scared McCarthyism.

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, it's so Russia.

[John Clay Wolf]

It really is.

Russians are Russian. A problem that I'm not aware of. What part of the Russia thing I know that they. Hey, last time I checked, we were in war with Japan back in the 50s or 40s or whatever. And we go over there like it's Mexico, okay? Post old Mexico before Mexico got weird. If we need to get a war with anybody, it's Mexico. Mexico.

Well, probably North Korea.

Those. Let's just go take that over and turn it into Good Beach. That's a fucking problem. This Russia deal is not a fucking problem. In Japan is not a fucking problem. China's kind of a fucking problem because they've come over here and got all our goddamn real estate.

Tell the. Tell the Europeans, the Russians not a problem. You know, post Bush senior.

Okay, Europeans, the crazy can't keep the ship straight.

After Reagan, after the Berlin Wall fell and Russia crumbles, okay, under what they call glasnost. At the time, their economy took about 12 years to totally plummet bucket.

All right?

That's when tattoos became very popular because that's what the socially, economically poor cling to, right?

Right.

Okay, flip eight years ahead, Clinton administration. Russia's getting worse. Is getting worse. It's getting worse. It's getting worse. Okay, Here comes Bush Jr. Iraq, Afghanistan, right? Who wanted to take over Afghanistan in the 80s so bad Russia couldn't do it? Now we're in there for 13 going on how many years?

And they didn't have to pay the bill. They didn't even have enough money to scrap together goddamn decent Olympics production.

So they resent us for that. Okay, Obama administration. Who's the Secretary of State?

I forgot.

Who does Putin consider his number one main enemy? Arch enemy in the whole world?

[J.D. Ryan]

Hillary Clinton.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay.

And for good reason, of course. Guys hate each other, man. They'd be like the best episode of Joanie Loves Chachi ever.

Okay, you know, so he's happy that she didn't get to be the president.

Yeah. And he helped out maybe a little bit.

[J.D. Ryan]

All right, stop it.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I said maybe. And I said a little bit.

Are they really.

[J.D. Ryan]

Before the election, when everybody thought Hillary was going to win, Bob was the one that went, you really can't make the election go one way or the other. It's impossible.

[John Clay Wolf]

And how did they do it?

I said, she's not likable enough to win.

How did they rig the election?

I don't think they did rigging, but they did everything they could to cast.

Like what?

Aspersion in doubt. Well, like the. Who's the guy they said was a secret Satanist and was drinking baby blood?

[J.D. Ryan]

I can't remember.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, fake news.

[J.D. Ryan]

I quit reading the news.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, everybody was. I mean, the Democrats were throwing more weirdo propaganda than Russia.

I don't think that they affected any. Any voters. Okay, but people who were already against Hillary sure weren't gonna cross that line. Okay, but this thing's starting to boil.

A lot of control.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, it's stupid.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, it's gotten to the point where I'm like, just get Trump the fuck out of there and put pencil.

[J.D. Ryan]

It would freak out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who would freak out?

[J.D. Ryan]

Every. Are you kidding me? The Democrats would freak. He's even more. He's more Republican.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, but do you really think they could freak more than they're freaking?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, maybe not.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's crazy religious. I'll take a con man over a religious nut anytime.

[J.D. Ryan]

Explain something to me. Why is it when the Democrats wanted Commie out. The FBI guy out. Comey. They wanted him out. They wanted to call me out. Comey. I never wanted to stop. Listen, the Democrats wanted him out and they freaked out. Okay? Now Trump takes him out and they freak out.

[John Clay Wolf]

Give me why.

I don't think they're freaking out because they. Because he got fired. They're freaking out because of possibly why.

[J.D. Ryan]

But they wanted him out, and now he's out and they freaking out of both sides.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is all about media power and him Taking them on. Hey, guess what? Media you and I mean my.

So he waited five months.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's exactly it.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no. They are waiting to take their free shot.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, the media and he will not.

[John Clay Wolf]

Stop giving it to him. So he needs to shut the up. I don't. Trump needs to shut the up. And if he can't shut the up, he needs to move the out of the way.

I don't think media works that way.

I like him. Is he not mature enough to shut the up?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, he's not. No, he's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

I really thought in my voting for him in support of him, I thought at this point he would be smart enough to shut the fuck up. He cannot do it.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's the knock him the fuck out of the way.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's right. It's just. It's taking the fun out of life.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's not gonna.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, you got to keep your eye on the spare.

It's making our country look like a bunch of.

No, but you know the one thing I said when he first won? Remember what? He'll never be boring.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

Will not be a boring time.

This is. This is turning into Charlie Sheen though, dude.

Well, nothing really bad show.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nothing really bad has happened.

No, nothing. He's done a ton of good.

[J.D. Ryan]

What world leaders still there's what world leaders for a change love us. He's welcome to Saudi Arabia. He's given the highest awards.

[John Clay Wolf]

He shut his goddamn mouth so that he can get his done because he's.

[J.D. Ryan]

A narcissist and they don't know to shut up.

[John Clay Wolf]

He doesn't know now he's the president.

[J.D. Ryan]

Dude. He was. He was just a big, big mouth when he was just a businessman. Now he's the president.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know what? I don't think he got into that office. I don't think he. He aspired to the office of president because he wanted to screw anything up or he wanted to make extra money for himself. I don't think the collusion with Russia goes that direction on his part. I really don't.

I think he's made too much money. I don't even think he wants what he's got.

I give him the benefit of the doubt, but I give all politicians the benefit of the doubt.

[J.D. Ryan]

Most of them are motivated by money. And I don't believe he is. I believe he's.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that's why we voted him in.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

But the can't shut up.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, his. His motivation is to make him make. To do what he said and to make a mark on history, that's his.

[John Clay Wolf]

But the mark is turning into a black eye. He needs to shut the up.

[J.D. Ryan]

If you listen to the media, it is, you got to learn how to.

[John Clay Wolf]

Work it a touch, use a little bit of finesse. I mean, I quit talking about on the radio, didn't I? You did, because why? It was getting me in trouble and it was causing a problem. So I quit with the gay jokes, okay? And I know I don't have the power he has. Obviously this is a very bad comparison, but use some sense and start directing to, to calm, look for calm waters. Then you can get some shit done, right? And yeah, they'll still be freaking out, raising hell, but. But not. He gives him these goddamn nuggets, hands it to him. He just fucking hands day after day.

After day after day.

That's true in the tweeting.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, come on, somebody take. Yeah, take that away.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why can't Pence say? I mean, you don't think any of these guys ever sit down with him, say, dude, I'm with you. I'm on your side.

So last week, six days after firing Comey in the hail storm that comes out of that, what does he do? He starts a commission to see where all the fake votes went in the election that he's already won.

[J.D. Ryan]

That makes me still.

[John Clay Wolf]

He keeps trying to prove that he won the election.

Why.

[J.D. Ryan]

But you'll see what happens.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's not productive. It's not very damn dignified.

No, it's embarrassing us to the world is what it's doing.

But Pence just scares the.

I don't know about him.

I don't anybody. He's a religious nut. He, he refuses to have any meeting, even work wise with any woman that his wife doesn't come to the meeting with.

Oh, shut up.

It's.

No, stop.

J.D.

[J.D. Ryan]

Are you serious?

[John Clay Wolf]

It's.

[J.D. Ryan]

I have no idea.

[John Clay Wolf]

You heard, that's pretty heavy.

It's against his.

Where on CNN.

It's against religion. CNN's the closest thing to objective news coverage you're going to get on cable. On cable.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, where.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, where?

[J.D. Ryan]

Nowhere. Nowhere.

[John Clay Wolf]

Nowhere is the truth.

Keith Olbermann, who sold you that bill of goods?

[J.D. Ryan]

It is. Listen to it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bill O'Reilly's dumbass. Watch them all and I don't even like him.

Watch them all.

[J.D. Ryan]

I don't watch any of them.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're going to see far left here. You're going to see far right here. You're going to see closer left here. The truth is in the middle I.

Was too young to be paying attention. Obviously I'm too immature to be paying attention now, because I'm still not. But I mean, was all this crazy shit going on with Reagan and all these other.

It was to a great extent. There were.

[J.D. Ryan]

We didn't have social media to fire it up.

[John Clay Wolf]

There were some liberals that were pretty weird about Reagan's record as governor of California.

[J.D. Ryan]

The media was more respectful back then. They didn't have the buttons to push, which they do now.

[John Clay Wolf]

When I saw the.

Yeah, Woodward and Bernstein were so respectful.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, they weren't. But look how long it took them to come forward with that. They didn't put it on Facebook and it wasn't over the world in a minute.

[John Clay Wolf]

When the printed raggedy came out and made endorsements for President Obama left and right, a day before the election started, I was like, holy fucking shit, what has happened to our country wall?

Why'd they do that?

Why did they do that?

Well, what was the other choice? Yeah, McCain bimbo.

Yeah, but why did they do that? Why did they do that?

Because I couldn't imagine Sarah Palin being president if anything happened to McCain who was a hundred years old the time.

That's not their job. Their job is to report the news.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, he's right. Their job is to report the news, not to.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, but they said.

Why did they do that? Why did they decide to cross that journalistic line? Yeah, but they all did it.

[J.D. Ryan]

They've all done it. I mean, they've done it for years. Yeah, they haven't done it for years. Dallas Morning News supports.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who cares?

Called an editorial.

[J.D. Ryan]

Hey, you know what the car wash down the street wants Trump. Why do. Why do newspapers get to give their.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let me. Maybe I'm way out here. So back in the 80s and the 90s, did the Dallas Morning News put in hard press? We always.

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm gonna have to look that up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Star Telegram did back in the 60s. In the 80s. In the 80s for sure.

Okay, I wasn't paying.

Hey, guy that owns a Burger Barn down here on Camp Buoy, he should put. He has a marquee out front. Well, you know, we read some of those driving around.

Yeah, but he is not what we are supposed to trust as the unbiased truth.

Guys, there's not.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's the point.

[John Clay Wolf]

Single one person that can destroy this country. It's gonna be all.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, but John's point is the news is supposed to relate the news, not give an opinion. The guy at the burger place can give his opinion. He is not a News source.

[John Clay Wolf]

I really think that's scary paranoid thinking guys.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's not scary. You have a job to do and.

[John Clay Wolf]

You'Ve, you've crossed the printed rags, the, the New York Times. I mean they've lost their goddamn.

Do you read them?

Yeah.

Austin American Statesman.

[J.D. Ryan]

I start zero credibility anymore. If you want you, they turn it on.

[John Clay Wolf]

But the information, the information's there. You know. You must disseminate yourself. That's the thing. People are used to being spoon fed.

[J.D. Ryan]

But once you come out directly for something, you can no longer be balanced by definition.

[John Clay Wolf]

When the time comes. And you won't be able to discriminate whatsoever. You will know. When the time comes. Just vote for me and I'll take care of it.

Right.

[J.D. Ryan]

Simple enough. I can't wait.

[John Clay Wolf]

So are you gonna, do you, do you want that gig up there?

Oh no, I, I wouldn't go full time for those dudes, man.

Okay.

I really, it was, that was a bad, that was a bad scene for Lindy.

I think is getting Scotty. He hooked him up with the country station we're on in New Orleans to be the pd.

Did he really?

Wow.

Well, he'll probably do a very good job.

Well that was, I was surprised the hell out of me. Not, not if he did a good job. But, but, but I mean that, that, that's cool. I'm happy for Scotty. You know, he's still going through chemo. Is he really? Yeah, yeah. He, he's been on his deathbed and he's coming back. That, that shocked me. And he's gonna program it from up there.

Scotty's coming back from a hard, hard time.

No shit.

Six or seven years.

Is his daughter and your daughter still buddies?

I think so. I think so.

Well yeah.

That's awesome. What in, in New Orleans?

Yes. Yes.

That's gotta be worth 40 bucks a day.

It's got to be worth something. It's got to be worth something.

Of course.

What do you think the state of radio 10 years. Where are we? 2000. So 20, 27. What broadcast or broadcast? Radio. Broadcast.

[J.D. Ryan]

Will be dispatching cabs.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really. I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm starting to wonder. They still have big numbers, but it's just with these satellites, I don't know.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like, like Rocket x or whatever. SpaceX. Elon Musk launched another one the other day. They're putting up massive satellites to throw massive WI fi around the world.

[J.D. Ryan]

Google is as well. They have balloons they're testing now all over the world to, to beam satellites and they were.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they were. They've got it in parts of Central Africa that have never had.

[J.D. Ryan]

They've got it all throughout the Caribbean as well. They've got these balloons. You can actually see them.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think radio will be around.

I think these brands that are built are going to prosper more than they do now.

[J.D. Ryan]

Like. Like what?

[John Clay Wolf]

And I think just be it. Cb. Cbs.

[J.D. Ryan]

Cbs. Okay. You know who's getting out of the radio?

[John Clay Wolf]

Ryan Seacrest.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Brands. And because I think there's so many brands coming at you via your social media and everything else now that it's.

[J.D. Ryan]

Watered down once half cars have Internet in the car, I think your broadcast is going to be just another noise.

[John Clay Wolf]

Absolutely.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. It's just.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you're going to go to the brands that you've trusted. And I think it'll be harder to create a brand that's trustworthy. I think right now is the time to build a brand. And that's another reason I'm like, it's time to fucking press the gas down.

On this deal and get the MO's acoustic wave radio.

And that's why this California thing is probably more real. You know, I was waiting around and this and that, but I'm like, let's fucking go for it. I mean, if the thing will just cover the advertising bill, I'm cool with it because it's building that brand. Sure. But we'll see. But I'm still was so funny. And we've got what we're on 16 or 17 stations.

[Satan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Big ones and small ones. And we still run into the same. I love this meeting. We were in the other. Marty said, John's done paying for auditions, guys. I stopped and applauded. He is done paying for auditions. He's done fucking approved. Here's the ratings. Here's where we were in Dallas before the show came on. Here's where we are after. Everybody wants to talk about the fucking point one or point two that we got in March. Okay. What about the point eight that we got in fucking December? Nobody wants to. That's a fluke. But this is real, right? Look at the goddamn average.

[J.D. Ryan]

The average money. Of course, they're sales people. They're wanting your cash.

[John Clay Wolf]

But the radio people are so into this right now. They're scared. Not. Not for that. They're looking for their next way to save their ass. Cumulus stocks down to like pennies. Fucking I hearts fixing them done do the do their bankruptcy. Yeah. The Dickies have just launched a new fund on NASDAQ called Asset Management or Asset Acquisitions. Media Assess. He's.

[J.D. Ryan]

He.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're getting set up to start buying the Cumulus property. I mean, the. The bankrupted iHeart Properties. There's no question about it.

They could probably do a lot with it, too.

CBS Radio, which is a profitable arm, is sold and closing in the fall with Intercom.

[J.D. Ryan]

Intercom.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

CBS Radio is the last big name.

[John Clay Wolf]

The last. And it's weird that. That it's. So. It's not profitable enough.

[J.D. Ryan]

It is profitable. They.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not enough for CBS to be.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, because we had the meetings. I worked for CBS until two weeks ago. We had the meetings and they actually said that. They said, hey, it's not that you guys don't work radio and CBS is profitable. We're just going with. More profitable. We're going with video, we're going with film, and we're going with television, which is a higher growth still. Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Still.

[J.D. Ryan]

Video, film, and television is a higher growth. What? Yeah. Than radio. Radio is still growing. It's just growing too slow. It's still going up for CBS anyway.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's still growing.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's what. Yeah, well, that's what they said.

[John Clay Wolf]

They lied to you about that maybe growing up. No, I mean, the goddamn spots on K, K vil and Ron Chapman were a thousand dollars in 83. Another 220. That's true.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, that's because. Yeah. There's so much more.

[John Clay Wolf]

The ticket, which is as good as it gets, cost 220 in prime. We pay 150 a spot during the middays, which is still pretty good.

And that's an industry wide trend, by the way.

Right. So it's not growing. That's. I don't know. Well, you got anything else?

[J.D. Ryan]

Nope. I'm happy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why are you. Why are you looking for a new house?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, because they're selling the house. I'm in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, really?

[J.D. Ryan]

And I can't afford it. I just lost my job.

[John Clay Wolf]

What will it bring?

[J.D. Ryan]

They want 389 for it. It's just not worth it. I was gonna. If I had the money, I'd pay them 300 and they want 389.

[John Clay Wolf]

You got an old lady, right?

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I didn't know if you're busting up.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, we're not.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, no.

I'd say you and your dog could hang with me in my spot.

[J.D. Ryan]

I like to sort of live in the Dallas Fort Worth area because that's kind of where I operate from, trying to get this radio show going, which, as John tells me, the spots aren't worth crap, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, actually, this one's got. The spots are worth some money because we're on.

[J.D. Ryan]

Somebody said. That's what I have to do with my travel show. Either get it on the mini cities or give it up.

[John Clay Wolf]

What about tv?

[J.D. Ryan]

I'd love to get it to television. I don't have a production budget.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, we forgot to do road trip. Acid trip with J.D. ryan. We forgot to do that. But did you even see that I wrote up. Yeah, yeah.

[J.D. Ryan]

I can do product. I can do radio production at home. But you can't do television production. Broadcast quality at home. That's good enough. So it costs too much to produce a show to get it going. And then hopefully you're on 10, 15 stations.

[John Clay Wolf]

What about the cable channels? Have. You can. But you could be that guy. You're good at that. That guy. Fiery and all that.

[J.D. Ryan]

I know. I don't know what the tipping point is. I don't know where you get to that tipping point where you're suddenly the guy Ferrero, whatever his name is. The guy with the spiky hair.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was he, by the way?

[J.D. Ryan]

Nothing. All he ever does is he eats.

[John Clay Wolf]

He eats the cook and the help is there.

[J.D. Ryan]

And he goes, that's a good bird.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a good show.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's his whole show.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's all he does. I know.

[J.D. Ryan]

And he's a hero and he's a star. I have no idea what that's.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who is zoned in on Texas barbecue? Has anyone really covered it? Well, besides website.

[J.D. Ryan]

Zoned in on it? No, there's a guy.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, there's a guy from down here.

It's not Bobby Flay, but it's one of his buddies. He had a place in Fort Worth, right? Who? Doesn't he own Angelo's? Well, yeah, I've seen him on Food Network a couple of times.

Okay, well, he probably just came through.

[J.D. Ryan]

Job is saying. John's saying some of the focuses on Texas barbecue, you know, would be good, a craft beer and Texas barbecue show. Because those two things are. You just can't. They blow. You can't go wrong.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's like disco.

[J.D. Ryan]

And you can open up any one on the street corner. And I got a barbecue place and be a hit. Every one of them just blows up.

[John Clay Wolf]

Craft beer. When you'd like to drink beer, but you want it to taste just a little worse. Mmm, pine cones.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's got that pine cone flavor. Dirt. He's got a little dirt mixed in.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dude, I go to those places. I'll drink a Newcastle brown. I like those. Or fat Tire. I'm just not. I mean, give me Miller Light. I don't want to get shit faced. I want to drink beer.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And if you drink that, the other stuff, you're yourself within 30 minutes. I mean, if I wanted to slam Patron Shots, that's what I'd do.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, but it's huge. Yeah, you're right. Barbecue, that would be. That would be a. A killer show.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you're going. Are you going to the lake today or tomorrow?

[J.D. Ryan]

I'm going to go out today and see and just ride the boat around since we're off the air and make sure it runs right. And I'm going to show it tomorrow.

[John Clay Wolf]

Got it, Bob. How's work?

Excellent. You always say that I'm that guy.

You're just happy I'm that guy.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. If anybody's listening, it's got a radio gig. I'm available.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's going to be all right. You know, you guys get scared about.

Should be on Star 102.

I hate for you to be scared about the me.

[J.D. Ryan]

Why don't you know what that is?

[John Clay Wolf]

Or with. Or a fill in with Joe for Jody. Have you all ever talked about that?

[J.D. Ryan]

Me and Jody, we're friends, but no, I've been on his show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you ever talked to Purdy about filling in for him when he's off?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, you'd be perfect.

[John Clay Wolf]

Who's better than JD to fill in for Jody Dean? I was talking to them the other day. We're buying advertising and we. My guy that works for Purdy in a Wambacher. And they were. We're going over the schedules and it's gonna be the ticket. No, the fan and Caleb. And I was like, I want an endorsement with Jody's. Like, jody, I said, y' all stop with this. They're too big and too cool for me, y'. All. You're doing the same. You. It's Jody Dean. I mean, I've seen him at car dealerships trying to. The receptionist, right? Come on.

It's all radio.

I mean, stop it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Where they come off like he's the hero.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like you're trying to get Don Henley on the fucking.

[J.D. Ryan]

He's their thing right now. He's. I mean, he's the. The star they have.

[John Clay Wolf]

Maybe I'm jealous. Maybe that's what it is, but I don't. I'm just bitter. I'm like you and them and all this. Everybody's selling so much in these goddamn schedules. On the spots I learned this week you got to watch, you know, because they'll set you a. A time slot.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're buying spots within, you know, prime time.

Sure.

[J.D. Ryan]

Three to seven afternoons.

[John Clay Wolf]

Three to 7:30. Guess when they all clear.

[J.D. Ryan]

730.

[John Clay Wolf]

7:23. All of them.

[J.D. Ryan]

All of them.

[John Clay Wolf]

All of them.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

Crooked bastards.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

Crooked.

[J.D. Ryan]

Sure.

[John Clay Wolf]

So Now I'm like 3 to 650? No, I looked at my, my media monitors, which shows you where all your everything was on the edge and out of the edge of the good slot that I paid for. Oh, it pissed me off. Off.

Three to five, man.

[J.D. Ryan]

They're sales people.

[John Clay Wolf]

Lindy, he's our ad rep on Cumulus side.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he's a great deal maker. He's a great bullshitter, but a detail man. And he'll be the first to tell you after we went through this this week. I'm not. I mean everything we bought is, is falling off. Going in the gutter. Going in the gutter. If you give them in your contract one time to throw the ball in the gutter, they just throw it. Every time. Every time. Every fucking time. 5:48 in the morning.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, right.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was the audience at? 5:48. Why couldn't we seem to find it at 8:00? Clock? Oh, you know, the contract, you and get out of here.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. Then don't say it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Don't.

[J.D. Ryan]

Don't tell me it's up until 8 if it's not.

[John Clay Wolf]

I've been screaming at radio people all week.

[J.D. Ryan]

Bless your heart. I don't know how you do it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I heart brings me a bill this week from last September that they said we didn't Pay. That was $23,000.

[J.D. Ryan]

Jeez, how did that slipped in mind?

[John Clay Wolf]

This had slipped. Well, two months ago it was, it was $27,000 and it was November, so we went and dug and found the check.

Yeah.

And here's the paycheck, here's the clear, here's the invoice. Oh, are you serious? I swear to God. And then they came back yesterday and showed me one for 23 that wasn't paid. I'm like, but we're gonna give you some free spots. I'm like, I don't want to hear about free anything. I want to see it in writing. When you're gonna for us to go through accounting and dig this up again.

[J.D. Ryan]

Give me a ticket.

[John Clay Wolf]

I said, first thing, give that bitch some, some Rangers tickets. Because she's gonna have to do all the work and she loves the Rangers. Okay, here's some Rangers tickets.

Next time you get that from Iheart, you ought to do that account not found. Try again, please. Wait. Thing that you get on I heart every time I go on there.

No, I don't know. It's just. It's frustrating. The amount of media that we're buying weekdays for commercial spots. It's just to keep up with it and make them do right.

Yeah.

And then you get the agencies to start handling. They fucking don't look at anything.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, they're worse than I am.

[John Clay Wolf]

I hired some people to handle it, and they're. Yeah, buddy, we'll swap and make this. They start moving groups around and they throw you in it.

[J.D. Ryan]

Buddy is a code word for you, by the way.

[John Clay Wolf]

I learned that in the car business a while back. Oh, all right.

Well, that's horrible.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's true.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's true.

[J.D. Ryan]

You get a salesperson says, buddy, you better run, you better run. I don't care how well you know my sales friends that I don't trust.

[John Clay Wolf]

If they say, buddy, like, hey, buddy.

[J.D. Ryan]

Let me tell you, stop. Yeah, I'm not talking to you again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Never.

That industry.

[J.D. Ryan]

How'd a guy Cliff say that to me one time?

[John Clay Wolf]

The ethics of that industry are worse than the used car.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's because they're scared.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're scared because they're selling air. They're selling nothing.

[J.D. Ryan]

Right? They're selling nothing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, and they had unlimited income for.

When I showed them my Facebook post in the. In what we're getting for exposures and all that, they just all shut up. I'm like, y' all can't really argue this, can you? Because we're in control of it. We're the program director of it. They give us immediate results, stats left and right. And y' all are selling bullshit.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah. And you can't prove it.

[John Clay Wolf]

But. What. What, I can't? I mean, well, you need more frequency. You need more frequency. You need more frequency, go to 15s. Go to 15s. So, I mean, if you're buying a 30 for 100 bucks, should a 15 be 50 bucks? No, it's 78.

[J.D. Ryan]

Well, why?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because Jody Dean's got a big cup.

I got time increase time because of increased frequency.

I mean, it's. It's.

[J.D. Ryan]

It's frustrating air, and they're making up the numbers. It's like going to a doctor. They make up the numbers. Totally.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I love it, man. I love to listen to it in my car, man. I can't wait to hear.

So what was Don Henley's interview like? Wasn't he good?

[J.D. Ryan]

Oh, he was cool.

[John Clay Wolf]

He talked about deciding that Deacon Fry would. Would Be a good replacement for his dad.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, he's not good. He sounds like a kid on stage.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, that's a six year old clip.

[J.D. Ryan]

Okay? I looked everywhere to find a current clip. That's the only one I can find. So my point is they pulled them all down is what's happened. Because you search.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because the one where he's singing Hotel California is not great.

I'm telling you, without Michael Anthony's high pitch and Van Halen on the harmony, it ain't there. Oh, they're gone. They're gone. By the way, it is not there.

[J.D. Ryan]

You were talking about Jody Dean.

[John Clay Wolf]

Real quick.

[J.D. Ryan]

He got a. He got a personal note from Glenn Frey after he was on the radio with him. And Jody of course puts it up on Facebook, but it was very Glenn Fry. I can hear.

[John Clay Wolf]

I can hear this right now. Dude, I'm. I swear this is how stupid my life is. Okay, what day is today? Saturday or Wednesday? I'm gonna get a phone call from someone at CBS about us talking about Jody Dean on our podcast.

[J.D. Ryan]

Really have.

[John Clay Wolf]

I love Jody.

I'm not. They're so goddamn sensitive. Am I bad mouthing Jody Dean?

No, I don't think so.

I want him to endorse me. I'm just saying he ain't worth what they say.

[J.D. Ryan]

That's all you're saying? The salespeople are overhyping it.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's all I'm saying.

[J.D. Ryan]

No, I love Jody. He's a good guy. Friend of mine, actually.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's always been really kind to me. I used to text him a lot when I lived here. I used to watch him on channel 21 every morning and you know, I got to in the habit.

[J.D. Ryan]

He'll respond to email. He'll reach out. He's not a pretty.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are they still. Are they still simulcasting him on 21?

[J.D. Ryan]

No, no, they quit that years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Not for a long time.

That didn't work.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, it worked for a while, especially in the Chapman days. Of course, that was the mor-80s they started doing that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you ever work with Chapman in the same room?

[J.D. Ryan]

I did, actually, I did overnight.

[John Clay Wolf]

Was he bossy and bitchy?

[J.D. Ryan]

Not to me, because I was the overnight guy that kind of got the studio ready for him. And when he came in, I just. I got out of the way. So our interaction was five minutes and no, he was always nice to me, but I didn't work directly like for him in the studio. But the stories are legendary of things. He would throw in tantrums, really screaming.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you listen to Bow and Jim screaming?

Yeah, occasionally.

[J.D. Ryan]

I mean, you have ruined my radio station. I mean, to a part timer. I mean, just like, crushing words.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's what Chapman would say.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yes. He put his hands together like this and go. You understand? You. You have ruined my radio station. Oh, holy crap. This is coming from God.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sounds like Bob Holland's head.

A little scary.

[J.D. Ryan]

Yeah, and throwing things.

[John Clay Wolf]

England. Well, I had a PD like that.

[J.D. Ryan]

Was God bless you, so.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, I'm out of guys.

[J.D. Ryan]

See you guys.

[John Clay Wolf]

Love you.

Bye.

[J.D. Ryan]

Get off my lawn. Get off my airplane.
