Main Theme: Wild, unfiltered Saturday-morning radio: car deals, rock & roll, wild stories, and a heavy dose of irreverent humor

Episode Overview
This marathon episode of The John Clay Wolfe Show blends live car deals, off-color banter about everything from hangover cures to strip clubs and yacht parties, rock 'n roll nostalgia, and recurring gags with cast members and listeners. Despite being billed as a car show, the hosts make clear that their brand is equal parts “BS and less cars” – with the phone lines constantly alive for callers wanting to sell cars, chime in on absurd topics, or share stories.
Tone: Lively, chaotic, unfiltered, blue-collar, with a healthy disregard for being FCC-friendly (while never quite crossing the line).
