Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Backstory: Hangover Cures (00:45)

• DJ Pre K introduces the archival clip, recalling his intern days when he fetched "everybody's favorite hangover cures"—from coffee to BC powder.
• The setup: John and Bobbo debating how far to push the efficacy (and delivery method) of BC powder, a Southern staple for headaches.

"When I was an intern for the show, I used to run and get everybody's favorite hangover cures...But one morning, John and Bobbo pondered what happens when you go above and beyond the recommended usage?" — DJ Pre K (00:45)

---

2. The Dare: Bobbo Snorts BC Powder (01:14)

• The team playfully goads Bobbo into snorting BC powder instead of the traditional oral route.
• The challenge quickly escalates as Bobbo snorts a massive amount live on air.

"So, Bobo, the BC powder snorting got me in trouble with our guiding light in the programming world because they had some complaints about you impersonating drug use on FCC controlled airways." — John Clay Wolfe (01:53)

• The stunt is captured on video and posted to their Facebook page for listeners' amusement (02:35).

---

3. Immediate Regret: The Painful Aftermath (02:42)

• Both John and Bobbo describe the intense, almost comical pain that followed.

"It hurt like a bastard." — John Clay Wolfe (02:45)
"First thing is the I stin turned off...it hurt like a mother." — Bobbo (02:47)

• John likens the sensation to having a "hunk of Velveeta cheese...about a quarter pound" lodged in his nasal passage (02:51).
• Nine hours later, he’s still battling misery: using a Vicks inhaler and generic Sudafed to clear the blockage (03:16–03:33).

"I'm sitting at my kitchen table with a Vicks inhaler...stuck all the way up the left side of my nose...finally took a couple of, like, generic Sudafeds...they kind of dried it up a little bit." — John Clay Wolfe (03:16–03:33)

---

4. Lingering Effects and Lessons Learned (03:38)

• A week after the incident, John reports residual issues, humorously comparing his experience to infamous tales of rock stars.

"Kinda, to this day right now, this has been a week ago, and I'm still...getting kind of a strange snuffle on my left side...I think I may have burned out a little bit of cartilage or something. Like, you hear about Stevie Nicks..." — John Clay Wolfe (03:41–03:54)

• Both John and Bobbo joke about branching out—maybe trying "Goodies powder" next, or even smoking BC powder (04:11–04:18).

---

5. The Morality (and Absurdity) of Excess (04:27)

• The crew reflects on the radio culture of go-for-broke stunts and professional bravado.
• Bobbo and John discuss how, in the heat of a dare, the mentality isn't to question if the act is smart—just if you did it "wrong" or took too much.

"That's that drug mentality. That's what you do, you know, when you do something, it hurts you...The next day you're thinking, you know what I did wrong? It wasn't doing the drugs. You took too much." — John Clay Wolfe (05:30–05:43)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the shock factor:
  "I've watched the video and I've showed the video to others, and everybody has the same reaction. Their jaw just drops." — Bobbo (04:18)

• On being a professional radio troublemaker:
  "There are guys...playing radio. I'm a professional." — John Clay Wolfe (04:46)

• On stubborn logic:
  "You hurt yourself on something, you say, well, it can't be the fact that I did it. I just did it wrong." — John Clay Wolfe (05:54)

[John Clay Wolf]

Today, the John Clay Wolf show has appeared on terrestrial radio for a really, really, really. So we dug into our pockets and on the other side of our we found something funny. And yes, it's contagious. Gather round as the wolf pack goes on this throwback adventure.

[DJ Pre K]

What's the damn deal? It's your boy DJ Pre K with the John Clay Wolf Show. Y' all know I'm in the archives. I'm back with one of my favorite clips, man. When I was an intern for the show, I used to run and get everybody's favorite hangover cures. You know, coffee, breakfast burritos, BC powder, whatever. But one morning, John and Bobbo pondered what happens when you go above and beyond the recommended usage? Bobbo put that old vacuum to use and found out firsthand. Check this out, Bob.

[Bobbo]

You gonna do that? Are you gonna do that BC powder? You gonna keep everybody waiting?

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go.

[Bobbo]

Yeah, no, just do it whenever you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Get home or wherever you're going.

[Bobbo]

I want to buy it. I do want to buy it. And if you're. You're sure it's safe, I'll get it. But go to givemetheven.com. what state are you in right now?

[John Clay Wolf]

Dog, I said.

[DJ Pre K]

God.

[Bobbo]

Dog.

[John Clay Wolf]

Got a dog. Hey.

[Podbean Promoter]

Okay.

[DJ Pre K]

You okay, man? Oh, we straight to the dome piece. Like Jerome's niece. I saw him do it, too. It was a fat cut, man. But JCW got in a little heat for this. Check it.

[Bobbo]

So, Bobo, the BC powder snorting got me in trouble with our guiding light in the programming world because they had some complaints about you impersonating drug use on FCC controlled airways.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, no. But you showed him the package of BC powders, and there's no doubt that that's what it was.

[Bobbo]

Unwrapped it. I put one of them on my tongue. And how this started was I said, I'm hungover. And Bob O said, I'm hungover, too. I said, I'm going to take a BC powder. It really helps. And I suggested to Bob, why don't you snort one? And you said, sounds good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, this is an ongoing thing, because a few weeks ago when you were taking one of those, I said, why don't you just snort it, man?

[Bobbo]

That's right.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you and I have kind of discussed this for a while.

[Bobbo]

So we have on our Facebook page the video of Bobbo snorting a massive amount of BC powder.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was a pretty good pile.

[Bobbo]

And what. What did it do to you?

[John Clay Wolf]

It hurt like a bastard.

[Bobbo]

First thing is the I stin turned off. Yes. Okay, so it hurt like a mother.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hurt really bad. And also almost immediately stopped the left side of my nose up. It's like you took a hunk of Velveeta cheese. Okay. About a quarter pound.

[Bobbo]

Like a butt plug in your nose.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. Maybe a third of the stick. Yeah. And stuck it all the way up there. No air going in.

[Bobbo]

Right. You think you'd need to go to the doctor and get medical attention?

[John Clay Wolf]

I began to wonder.

[Bobbo]

He was miserable the whole show.

[John Clay Wolf]

See how red my left eye was?

[Bobbo]

It was so bad.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I went home, and nine hours later, I'm sitting at my kitchen table with a Vicks inhaler. You know what that is? Like a vaporizer stuck all the way up the left side of my nose.

[Bobbo]

Trying to clear it out.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's miserable. I finally took a couple of, like, generic Sudafeds. Tiny red ones.

[Bobbo]

The speed stuff. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they kind of. They kind of dried it up a little bit, got rid of it.

[Bobbo]

So the next day was it gone?

[John Clay Wolf]

Kinda to this day right now, this has been a week ago, and I'm still. I'm still getting kind of a. Kind of a strange snuffle on my left side.

[Bobbo]

Will you ever snort BC powder again?

[John Clay Wolf]

I think I may have burned out a little bit of cartilage or something. Like, you hear about Stevie Nicks burned out her cartilage from doing drugs? Yeah. No, I'll never. I'll never snort BC powder again. Mom, dad, if you're listening, I've learned my lesson about that. That evil BC powder. From now on, I'm just gonna eat it.

[Bobbo]

What's the other stuff called? Goodies.

[John Clay Wolf]

I wonder if you can smoke it.

[Bobbo]

Let's try goodies.

[John Clay Wolf]

Try the Goodies powder.

[Bobbo]

We'll try. I've watched the video and I've showed the video to others, and everybody has the same reaction. Their jaw just drops. The amount of intake that you took in that one snort was the speed of it, too. I mean, it was gone in, like, a second.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, anything worth doing, Turley, it was unbelievable. You got a light bulb.

[Bobbo]

It was unbelievable. What. What gave you the confidence to tackle that. That mound that large, that quickly?

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, they're guys. And you're aware of these guys, too. And some of them work in the market where we live. Okay. That are kind of playing radio. I'm a professional. All right? And why, when my producer and or host, especially the host of the show.

[Bobbo]

Says, so be careful with the influence.

[John Clay Wolf]

That I have, my good man, Come, Come and. Come and snort this BC powder. Sir, yes, sir, I do.

[Bobbo]

But you were the ones that you cut the deck. I didn't get. You took the whole dose and cut it into two lines with a Jim Bowie knife.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Bobbo]

And you took a half of the whole thing all in one big snort. You.

[John Clay Wolf]

You owed about 5 grams.

[Bobbo]

You OD'd. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's too much. You OD'd. And that's that drug mentality. That's what you do, you know, when you do something, it hurts you.

[Bobbo]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you're still hurting. The next day you're thinking, you know what I did wrong? It wasn't doing the drugs. You took too much.

[Bobbo]

It was the way you did it.

[John Clay Wolf]

You took too much. Too much. Next time we'll just do a little bit.

[Bobbo]

He just took it too far.

[John Clay Wolf]

Pre K knows what I'm talking about, man. You hurt yourself on something, you say.

[Bobbo]

You pulled a hammy.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, it can't be the fact that I did it. I just did it wrong.

[Bobbo]

Okay. With that, we hope you all enjoyed the show in our little After Duty podcast. We'll see you next Saturday.
